Many of them were near the end or had other health implications.
PHE were counted anyone who had a positive covid test within 28 days of their death as being a covid victim.
PHE figures include deaths of anyone who tested positive, even if it was months ago

Seems ONS don't do that according to a statement I found
SO I guess it depends where your stat is coming from
Many people who had no risk of covid also took the vaccine and did have complications from that or death.
Just claiming 7mil people died of covid, doesn't mean everyone should have had the vaccine.
Most of the the vaccine push was to stop it spreading, which it didn't do anyway you could still pass on covid.
It's kinda the opposite of shielding when most people thought being jabbed meant you couldn't spread covid too someone.
weren't they still wanting to jab babies and toddlers even towards the end?
