The non vaccinated were all supposed to be dead by now as well.
No, that has bever been the case with any pandemic.
With COVID-19 the average case-mortality ratio was around 2% but this fell markedly after the introduction of the immunizations and the evolution of Delta and later strains. Although later disease was less deadly and mitigated against, death rates were elevated due to the infectiousness and reinfection capability of newer strains. At no stage did the disease look like causing the near extinction of humanity.
However, there have been a lot of deaths from the disease:
Cumulative confirmed COVID-19 deaths by world region
Cumulative “confirmed” COVID-19 deaths
Due to varying protocols and challenges in the attribution of the cause of death, the number of confirmed deaths may not accurately represent the true number of deaths caused by COVID-19.
Total deaths attributed to COVID-19. Counts can include probable deaths, where reported.
