      You can usually put them into archive.org and get behind paywalls like someone else in this thread posted: https://web.archive.org/web/20231019065555/https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates

            Gratzi. For years, I've just kinda ignored everything a paywall rather than doing the right and proper thing (re: 🏴‍☠️ )
