Still They Try

With their scaremongering.

More than 18 million people – three times higher than official records suggest – have probably died because of Covid, say researchers.

Their report comes two years to the day from when the World Health Organization first declared the pandemic.

The Covid-19 excess mortality team at the US’s Washington University studied 191 countries and territories for what they call the true global death figure.

Every single calculation from these charlatans has been exaggerated. Not once have they got it right yet still they try to convince us that they were right…

Some deaths were from the virus, while others were linked to the infection.

Ah, that little sleight of hand used by PHE – a positive test 28 days or fewer before death meant it was recorded as a covid death regardless of actual cause. So they are going to lie to us again. “linked to the infection” is not the same as “died of.”

Rates of excess deaths are estimated to have varied dramatically by country and region, but the overall global rate calculated in the study is 120 deaths per 100,000 people.

While each is a tragedy for those directly involved, it is a small figure in the scheme of things and for this, we destroyed lives, livelihoods, businesses, the economy and personal relationships.

    • Over a two year period, we’ve seen worse. Given the initial lack of immunity, it’s not surprising, but around 48,000 excess winter deaths is usually what we call a bad flu year, so 36,000 per annum over that period isn’t that bad.

    • Dear Mr M

      I have not trusted government statistics on covid deaths from the start.

      I have been tracking all-cause mortality data for England and Wales as supplied by the ONS.

      Cumulative all-cause mortality for 2015, 18 and 20-22 are plotted here:

      Excess mortality compared with the average of the previous 5 years by age group:

      The first graph on the photostream might give cause for thought.

      The graphs are up to week 7, Friday 18 February. My laptop died. I should be able to update with week 9 data which comes out tomorrow, Tuesday 15th.

  3. Ah, the ‘draft terms of UK Covid19 Inquiry…’
    Do we need to wait for the conclusions? (In 2036.)
    Something on these lines, I expect:
    ‘Difficult circumstances’…’unprecedented challenges’…’tough choices’…’in retrospect perhaps other options’…’lessons have been learned’…’coordinated planning’…’new Cabinet Office cross-Department team to be established’…’invidious to single out individuals’…’no blame attaches to Government’…’gongs all round’.

  4. In the past I have dealt pretty successfully with my diabetes by doing plenty of exercise. Just as I was starting to feel the age in my knees and had to cut down on the running and cycling, the government forced the gym to close so that I couldn’t go swimming. I am now back on track but my control of glucose levels and blood pressure issues was quite badly hit.

    Meanwhile the masks are still prevalent in the supermarket, and I’m still seeing idiots wearing them outside or while alone in their car.

  5. I think it depends on how you look at it. Don’t know anything about the numbers accuracy but I suppose it depends on how you define ‘linked to’. You could see that wording in the context of ‘n number of deaths within 28 days’, as you seem to do, or you could define it as I do, meaning ‘ok, let’s add into the mix the number of deaths from things like, lockdown suicides, the murder of care home inmates via Midazolam, the cancer patients being denied care’ etc, in which case the number hits the roof, so maybe the 18 million is more correct and maybe some people are now forced to admit guilt, but there will be heavy damage control. What I’m trying to say is, ‘linked to’ means directly or indirectly. Perhaps that team from Washington Uni are calling it out? I don’t know.

    “Some deaths were from the virus, while others were linked to the infection.”

    That line is wide open to interpretation as well.

    • You could see that wording in the context of ‘n number of deaths within 28 days’, as you seem to do

      With good reason, because that is the metric they are using. The other related deaths that they actively caused aren’t going to be included here. People need to be prosecuted for that one, frankly.

      • What I can’t understand about that is that the 18 million number quoted is supposed to be a global death figure. As I understand it, not all countries used the metric that you point out. Comments are just thoughts and perhaps I’m showing my ignorance, but no matter the cause, a death is either linked or not linked, you can’t have “just a bit linked”.

  7. The Lancet report title begins with the verb ‘estimating’; well, we can all play that game. I scanned the summary to its end where the cat jumped out of the bag, “Funding – Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, J Stanton, T Gillespie, and J and E Nordstrom”, the authors wouldn’t want to upset their paymasters, would they? I read no further.

  8. I think that the unprecedented attacks on civil liberties that have taken place were made possible because people were made to feel that we had a really massive crisis on our hands and they were prepared to pull together and do whatever was necessary to deal with it. Now that it is starting to become apparent that the crisis wasn’t quite as massive as has been claimed and that the actions that were taken by our clueless leaders were ineffective, there is a problem. Better pull out all the stops on the propaganda machine and make sure that the plebs understand how their government has saved them from almost certain death.
