Dr Campbell is not a medical doctor. He is a retired nursing educator with a PhD that entitles him to call himself "Dr". His PhD is in nursing education, and maybe he could be considered good at that since he is fooling so many people into believing the twisted way he presents data in his videos.
This time video presents some data that looks reasonable and could have done that in about 2 minutes instead of 11. And just for once didn't try to twist into any conclusion. So yes, the epidemiologists could perhaps look at what is happening with overall mortality at the moment. I can think of several reasons why it might rise at the moment. NZ's death rate has been rising since 2009 (https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/NZ...death-rate).
10-20-30 years into the future we might look back at a lot of things with disgust. Like the fact that this was an opportunity to apply what we know about aerosol and fomite transmission to keep ourselves safer from all sorts of nasties, but the minute the government mandates dropped most people went back to their same old grubby ways. And while we already knew about the benefits of vaccines from the last 100 years, so many people went silly and didn't want what was likely the safest and most important one of our generation.
