0.007% - that's part of what makes Berenson's scribblings so dumb. He's a successful writer and good with words but he seems to fall flat on his face when numbers are involved.

recent stats on canada excess deaths
Google is our friend. Just people 0 - 64, leaving out the older people who have worse stats: "Based on the newly updated provisional dataset released today from the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database, from the end of March 2020 to the beginning of April 2021, an estimated 62,203 deaths were reported among Canadians aged 0 to 64. This represents 5,535 more deaths than expected were there no pandemic, after accounting for changes in the population such as aging. Over the same period, 1,380 COVID-19 deaths have been attributed to the same age group (those younger than 65), suggesting that the excess mortality is, in large part, related to other factors such as increases in the number deaths attributed to causes associated with substance use and misuse, including unintentional (accidental) poisonings and diseases and conditions related to alcohol consumption." https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/210712/dq210712b-eng.htm
