He said 6-7 billion. There are 7.75 billion. So, most of humanity, but not all of it. That death toll projection might be high... we don't know for sure. But it's not out of the question.

People like you and I will die, sure. Maybe though, there will be rural areas in Canada that will be fine. Africa? Fine. Why do you think Russia or the United States are sending nukes to Johannesburg, Sao Paulo or Nepal?

Do you understand what a nuclear winter is? Do you understand what happens to the global climate in that circumstance? What happens to the growing season in the bread basket latitudes? The vast majority of people who don't die in the immediate aftermath will die in the ensuing 10 years after global temperatures decrease precipitously.
You seem to be under the impression that nuclear weapons simply explode, and if you dodge that, you'll be fine.
You are hilariously mistaken.
