Almost 40% Of Recent Covid Victims Died Primarily of Other Conditions

Reported Covid deaths have been low in recent weeks but the real number of people for whom the virus was a major cause of death is lower still, according to the latest figures which show that almost 40% of recently registered Covid deaths in England and Wales were people who died primarily from another condition. The Telegraph has the story.

Out of 107 Covid deaths registered in the week ending May 21st, just 66 had the virus recorded as the underlying cause of death – 61.7%. 

For the rest of the cases, although coronavirus was mentioned on the death certificate it was not a major cause.

It is the lowest number of deaths with Covid as the underlying cause since the week ending March 13th, 2020 – the first week that deaths involving Covid were registered in England and Wales, when just five registrations were listed.

The ONS continues to include those who did not primarily die of Covid in its official statistics, even though the World Health Organisation has issued guidance warning they should not be classified as Covid deaths in official figures.

The data lends support to claims that although cases have been rising in Britain in recent weeks, due largely to the Indian [“Delta”] variant, that is not so far translating into a significant increase in deaths.

On Tuesday, the Government announced the first day without any Covid deaths since before the first lockdown in March last year…

The weekly ONS data show that Covid is now mentioned in only around one in 90 death registrations in England and Wales – the equivalent of just 1.1% of all deaths registered in the week.

It is the lowest proportion since the week ending September 11th, when the figure was 1.0%. At the peak of the second wave, in the week ending January 29th, the figure stood at 45.7%. 

The number of Covid deaths registered in England and Wales in the most recent week, to May 21st, is also the lowest since the week to September 11th.

The Telegraph headlines :-
“Matt Hancock warns vaccine fake news is a ‘deadly threat’”
In any past normal society Hancock would be ended up behind bars or at least sacked for his gross incompetence, but no, Johnson, ploughs on with these totally corrupt agenda driven globalists.

Hancock is still young, plenty of time for him to face “justice”.

I ‘m not sufficiently familiar with the detail of the legislation. But are those responsible for deliberately engendering fear guilty of terrorist offences?

After all – this is the purpose of terrorist acts : to create disproportionate fear in the population, and even in terms of death toll, the victims of associated fear measures must now far exceed the twin towers fatalities.

From CPS website, Rick:

Terrorism is the use or threat of action, both in and outside of the UK, designed to influence any international government organisation or to intimidate the public. It must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.
Examples include:

  • serious violence against a person or damage to property,
  • endangering a person’s life (other than that of the person committing the action),
  • creating a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public,
  • action designed to seriously interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.

Thanks, Sam. Confirms my instinct.

Of course, the withholding of Ivermectin might be considered as : “endangering a person’s life”, as could coercing a ‘vaccine’ whilst withholding information about side effects….?

This quotation should go hand-in-hand with an email to local MPs while asking them if they received their copy of Laura Dobsworth’s State of Fear.

You think so? Blair is still running about earning good money with his nose in government policy after Iraq. The same will happen to this snivelling little shit no doubt.

Personally, I hope he’s tried for treason but he’s not the only one complicit in all this so will have his back covered.

Jimmy Saville had one, Nick Clegg and Keir Starmer have one so it seems they hand them out like sweets.

I’d like one too – so I can rock up to the queen and tell her where to shove her sword – preferably up the arse of Mancock.

I don’t think there’s any point in fantasizing. It’s unlikely to happen.

What I would like to see is a growing awareness that destroys the establishment game-plan with growing antagonism to it. After that … we’ll see.

I wouldnt be surprised if a large percentage of the remaining 60% werent covid deaths either. Doctors dont always put the true reason for death down on death certificates. Dr Harold Shipman is unlikely to be the first and last Doctor to wield their power of trust in an evil way.

My impression is that, for any elderly person with a slew of conditions (as is very common in the very old, who are unkindly called ‘crocks’ in the trade), the death cert. mentions all the conditions and you take your pick. Of course, if you’re an NHS liar, you pick covvie and leave the rest.

My mother died in April, in a care home, fell and broke her hip, had it fixed, came home and the next day had a stroke and died 3 days later. What was on her death cert? “Old age”. Nothing else. The registrar was appalled and had to bounce it back to the coroner. So yes, death certs are as accurate as a Ferguson model.

Spot on. I’ve used the somewhat pejorative term “Shipman Certificates” elsewhere for the same reason. There appears to have been a substantial ‘transition’ on paper over the winter, for example. After all, the creation of a special ‘tick box’ (as it were) on the form was an open goal for some. As a result, the ONS weekly reports are probably best read with a degree of scepticism – not just in this place!

Of course, historically, Shipman committed suicide in the slammer, perhaps ‘cos someone turned a blind eye.

I’m well past believing our official figures.
Why wasn’t there an investigation into the gold standard of testing when it reveals positive in engine oil and pawpaw fruit.

I should think the real number is closer to 100%.

How about 99.9999999999999999999999999999999%. Even that might be understating the extent of the Covid death certificate fraud. See today’s OffG articlehttps://off-guardian.org/2021/06/02/counting-covids-deceptive-deaths/

Almost 40% Of Recent Covid Victims Died Primarily of Other Conditions

I think “recent” can be taken out of the above and 40% is probably a large underestimate.

awildgoose

40% seems far too low.

Actual causes of death are probably things like motorcycle accidents, plane crashes, and gunshot wounds.
