There definitely was a COVID spike at that time. But if you look at Figure 3.1 in the report, which seems to match the shape of the Worldometer graph I looked at first (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/canada/) I see a death spike that isn't appreciably higher than the ones before, and possibly skinnier. While COVID might have contributed to this total death rate peak, I am not at all convinced that it was the major driver of it.

The disease that started in 2019, for which we got a vaccine in 2021, spiked the death rate so high in early 2022 that not just one, but two contour lines apply only to that period?

I think the fact that there are no women qualified to be electors is possibly relevant, but this is still an entirely different category than a country in which women are enfranchised but face extralegal violence if they try to exercise their franchise (and men don't, or do but at a significantly lower rate).

I suppose a non-cardinal who broke in to a conclave and tried to cast a ballot would be removed from the building with the necessary force, and there are no female cardinals, so there is sort of a sense in which this is true, I guess.

Why is the Vatican even mentioned?

You're saying "are" as if you're talking about the present flu season. Just to be clear, this spike was at the end of January.
