Deaths 9% Below Average – When Will The Government Declare the Pandemic Over?

Deaths in the most recent week for which data are available were 9.3% below the five-year average in England and Wales, prompting questions of why in such a mild winter the Government is being slow to join countries like Denmark in reclassifying COVID-19, repealing pandemic laws and lifting the state of emergency.

Figures from the ONS released today show that in the week ending January 28th 2022, there were 1,269 fewer deaths registered in England and Wales compared to the five-year average, which is 9.3% lower. This figure uses data from 2016-19 and 2021 as the five-year average, missing out 2020 as a pandemic year. However, deaths in January 2021 were very high, so this skews the five-year average upwards. Nonetheless, compared with the 2015 to 2019 five-year average, deaths in England and Wales were still 2.8% below average (359 fewer deaths).

The figures also show that almost a third of Covid deaths in the most recent week did not have COVID-19 recorded as underlying cause on the death certificate. Of the 1,385 deaths involving COVID-19, 71.2% (986 deaths) had Covid recorded as the underlying cause of death (compared with 72.9% in the previous week). This means 28.8% of deaths officially counted as Covid deaths were registered as from another underlying cause.

Reflecting the low mortality, excess deaths in hospitals and care homes were running well below average, at 17.9% and 20.1% below respectively. However, deaths in private homes continue to run high, being 17.8% (557 deaths) above the five-year average. While some of this may be displacement from hospitals and care homes, with people continuing to avoid them, the full circumstances around this ongoing issue need to be properly investigated.

Indeed – see this excellent letter submitted to the government by 130 UK medical professionals – submitted as a BTL comment by “Ug” below the TCW Article by Kate Dunlop They think it’s all over – not by a long chalk – The Conservative Woman (The article itself is excellent and a warning to all of us) “Dear Sirs and Madam, Our grave concerns about the handling of the COVID pandemic by Governments of the Nations of the UK. We write as concerned doctors, nurses, and other allied healthcare professionals with no vested interest in doing so. To the contrary, we face personal risk in relation to our employment for doing so and / or the risk of being personally “smeared” by those who inevitably will not like us speaking out. We are taking the step of writing this public letter because it has become apparent to us that: • The Government (by which we mean the UK government and three devolved governments/administrations and associated government advisors and agencies such as the CMOs, CSA, SAGE, MHRA, JCVI, Public Health services, Ofcom etc, hereinafter “you” or the “Government”) have based the handling of the COVID pandemic on flawed assumptions. • These… Read more »

3. The exaggerated nature of the threat Policy appears to have been directed at systematic exaggeration of the number of deaths which can be attributed to COVID. Testing was designed to find every possible ‘case’ rather than focusing on clinically diagnosed infections and the resulting exaggerated case numbers fed through to the death data with large numbers of people dying ‘with COVID’ and not ‘of COVID’ where the disease was the underlying cause of death. The policy of publishing a daily death figure meant the figure was based entirely on the PCR test result with no input from treating clinicians. By including all deaths within a time period after a positive test, incidental deaths, with but not due to COVID, were not excluded thereby exaggerating the nature of the threat. Moreover, in headlines reporting the number of deaths, a categorisation by age was not included. The average age of a COVID-labelled death is 81 for men and 84 for women, higher than the average life expectancy when these people were born. This is a highly relevant fact in assessing the societal impact of the pandemic. Death in old age is a natural phenomenon. It cannot be said that a disease… Read more »

5. Inappropriate and unethical use of behavioural science to generate unwarranted fear Propagation of a deliberate fear narrative (confirmed through publicly accessible government documentation) has been disproportionate, harmful and counterproductive. We request that it should cease forthwith. To give just one example, the government’s face covering policies seem to have been driven by behavioural psychology advice in relation to generating a level of fear necessary for compliance with other policies. Those policies do not appear to have been driven by reason of infection control, because there is no robust evidence showing that wearing a face covering (particularly cloth or standard surgical masks) is effective against transmission of airborne respiratory pathogens such as SARS-Cov-2. Several high profile institutions and individuals are aware of this and have advocated against face coverings during this pandemic only inexplicably to reverse their advice on the basis of no scientific justification of which we are aware. On the other hand there is plenty of evidence suggesting that mask wearing can cause multiple harms, both physical and mental. This has been particularly distressing for the nation’s school children who have been encouraged by government policy and their schools to wear masks for long periods at school. Finally,… Read more »

7. Misunderstanding of asymptomatic spread and its use to promote public compliance with restrictions It is well-established that asymptomatic spread has never been a major driver of a respiratory disease pandemic and we object to your constant messaging implying this, which should cease forthwith. Never before have we perverted the centuries-old practice of isolating the ill by instead isolating the healthy. Repeated mandates to healthy, asymptomatic people to self-isolate, especially school children, serves no useful purpose and has only contributed to the widespread harms of such policies. In the vast majority of cases healthy people are healthy and cannot transmit the virus and only sick people with symptoms should be isolated. The government’s claim that one in three people could have the virus has been shown to be mutually inconsistent with the ONS data on prevalence of disease in society, and the sole effect of this messaging appears to have been to generate fear and promote compliance with government restrictions. The government’s messaging to ‘act as if you have the virus’ has also been unnecessarily fear-inducing given that healthy people are extremely unlikely to transmit the virus to others. The PCR test, widely used to determine the existence of ‘cases’,… Read more »

9. Vaccination of the entire adult population should never have been a prerequisite for ending restrictions Based merely on early “promising” vaccine data, it is clear that the Government decided in summer 2020 to pursue a policy of viral suppression within the entire population until vaccination was available (which was initially stated to be for the vulnerable only, then later changed — without proper debate or rigorous analysis — to the entire adult population). This decision was taken despite massive harms consequent to continued lockdowns which were either known to you or ought to have been ascertained so as to be considered in the decision making process. Moreover, a number of principles of good medical practice and previously unimpeachable ethical standards have been breached in relation to the vaccination campaign, meaning that in most cases, whether the consent obtained can be truly regarded as “fully informed” must be in serious doubt: • The use of coercion supported by an unprecedented media campaign to persuade the public to be vaccinated, including threats of discrimination, either supported by the law or encouraged socially, for example in co-operation with social media platforms and dating apps. • The omission of information permitting individuals to… Read more »

Conclusions The UK’s approach to COVID has palpably failed. In the apparent desire to protect one vulnerable group — the elderly — the implemented policies have caused widespread collateral and disproportionate harm to many other vulnerable groups, especially children. Moreover your policies have failed in any event to prevent the UK from notching up one of the highest reported death rates from COVID in the world. Now, despite very high vaccination rates and the currently very low COVID death and hospitalisation rates, policy continues to be aimed at maintaining a population handicapped by extreme fear with restrictions on everyday life prolonging and deepening the policy-derived harms. To give just one example, NHS waiting lists now stand at 5.1m officially, with — according to the previous Health Secretary — a likely further 7m who will require treatment not yet presented. This is unacceptable and must be addressed urgently. In short, there needs to be a sea change within the Government which must now pay proper attention to those esteemed experts outside its inner circle who are sounding these alarms. As those involved with healthcare, we are committed to our oath to “first do no harm”, and we can no longer stand… Read more »

Apologies this was so long – but It was good so I thought people might be interested – doubt it will achieve anything as the govt is so clearly uninterested in the views of “scientists” other than those they have a vested interest in following, but good to know that further down the line it cannot be said they were not made aware.

Thank you for posting this in its entirety. This is one of the best summaries I have seen that itemizes all the ways the Covid narrative was bogus or dubious.

The letter makes several original points. For example, I appreciate the authors mentioning how the average age of a COVID victim (81 for males and 84 for females) was almost never mentioned in press reports. This had to be intentional. In America, I once did a COVID article and tried to find the average age of a COVID victim. I couldn’t find this data . The public was led to believe that everyone was almost equally at risk when, in fact, only those over 70 or with severe pre-existing conditions faced elevated risks. Well done!

The Iraq war enquiry didn’t amount to much, Blair is not behind bars and he’s listened to. Seems unlikely that the real truth will emerge from the covid scam/madness for a few generations yet given that almost every powerful institution on the planet is in it up to their necks. I think a lot of the main protagonists will need to die of natural causes or retire from public life at a ripe old age before we’ll get anything like a balanced assessment.

2022 is clearly a premature forcast IMO.

EU’s Christine Lagarde said 2025 for the EU CBDC rollout
China & Russia have CBDC ready, UK is still in white paper mode, but expected 2025, US Fed only just published it’s “discussion paper”.
2030 – WEF’s goal

Expect more consolidation for WEF big business/tech between now and then. A “supply crisis” is clearly on the cards. Pandemic 2.0 odds are shrinking by the day given the global overplaying of hands, it seems a busted flush at this point. But there’s loads of other hands to play, energy crunch, war, terrorism is so passe post covid but depends how the politics go, food supply issues seems to have an engineered element, so could be likely too. I think “Financial Armageddon” is the trump card to swing it, but there’s UBI and social credit system ducks to line up first.

we’ll definately be squeezed between now and 2025, but the real hard times will come leading up to 2030 IMO.

Great observations.

I’ve noticed a plethora of new plant-based food companies emerging in the last 18 months when everything else ground to a halt. Well packaged, generously backed and already in cafe chains and supermarkets.

Lots of associated propaganda about how much carbon and energy it takes to make a cheeseburger etc. Plus rumblings from the medical fraternity about the dangers of meat, with a nice tie in with premature heart attacks.

I’m fully expecting an engineered food crisis soon. The same clown who modelled covidmania triggered the foot and mouth thing, so easy to do.

The question is at what point do we all say enough is enough? When do we demand the traditional British right to simply be left in peace?

They also need to repeal the Public Health Act 1984 which is what they used for a lot of the restrictions. That’s just for starters. The Civil Contingencies Act has more enforcement of regular parliamentary scrutiny but the likelihood is that MPs would have gone along with it had it been used, at least to start with, so ideally I think we need to see proper constitutional protection for basic freedoms that cannot be removed under any circumstances, a complete ban on the use of Nudge Units and on governments buying advertising space for propaganda purposes (one would need to find a way to word that so that basic public information can still be published, perhaps limited to notification of changes in the law/regulations rather than “guidance”). I doubt we’ll see it in my lifetime but there needs to be a recognition that covid was not a deadly pandemic by any rational definition of the word, and that governments cannot stop respiratory viruses nor should they try.

And yet deaths amongst those aged 45-65 are 5 standard deviations (‘substantial increase’) above the normal range, and has been so since the summer. There seems to be little effect of ‘covid wave’ — it is just a relentless excess of deaths. I wonder why.

Just when we thought the mental screwups of modern capitalism couldn’t get worse…the large majority are digging themselves ever deeper into mental holes – and even more so than with fashion and consumerism, with video games and mobile phone use, this is right “up close and personal”, to do with how people relate

  • to the illnesses and deaths of close family members,
  • to their own chances of living or dying,
  • to anyone they meet socially who says stuff about what’s going on in the world.

We critical few look at this and we think how vile and how scary it is… Probably quite a few of us oscillate between being stultified and being terrified.

Others look at it and think “£$£ opportunity £$£.”

And a very very few actually created the profit-making opportunity and control the lion’s share of it – and they’ve absolutely no plans to relent. Quite the contrary.

Yes: non-existent or wrong “medical care” for problems of specific kinds. Officially the leading cause of death for men aged 50-64 is heart disease, and for women it is bronchial, tracheal or lung cancer. Which is not to say that those statements convey very much, because the available categories and how they are organised will be determined by big business. Which doesn’t mean only Big Pharma: for example, there won’t be a Medical Certificate of Cause of Death in the entire country that mentions living next door to a nuclear power station, an electricity substation, or a cellphone mast, or sleeping next to a zuzzing fusebox, as a contributory cause of death. The suicide figures have probably been fiddled downwards too. And something new, whatever it is, still seems to be going on. What is it? Medics have long been liars – ever since they started ministering to hoi polloi – but what may have happened is that that relationship has been “stretched out”, become more extreme. The contempt and lies and craziness have intensified. But what do we expect given that for long periods beginning in March 2020 the whole attitude was “Stay away from hospitals, you dirty lergy-spreaders”?… Read more »

How many intervals of what length is the standard deviation calculated over?
And how large is it, measured in deaths per 1000 in that age group?

I’m looking at the z-score of 15 for one of the weeks in January 2021. The average death rate per 1000 in the 45-65 group is probably (at a guess) around 5. I’ve no idea what the standard deviation is but presumably there is a bit of jumping around and so (again a guess) it could be say 0.4. If that is anywhere near a reasonable guess, then z=15 would give a death rate of 11, more than twice the normal figure. Were things that bad?
Certainly sustained z≃5 needs an explanation.

Still a big difference between what is happening in working ages and the oldest ages, bearing in mind that the oldest ages drive total death numbers.

Let’s look at the age 45-64 age group. And look at deaths per million in this age group. We can see (despite the jumble of lines) that the green line for 2022 for week 4 is running above most recent years apart from 2021.

So that is possibly connected with the continuing high home deaths, and may reflect a lack of access to healthcare or be related to the experimental vaccines. Certainly nothing to do with covid the illness.

But perhaps a lot more to do with “Covid -the Vaccines”!

It’s strange that the 5-9 age group (who haven’t been experimentally vaccinated on apart from an unlucky few) are still experiencing very low mortality and have been for some time.

But if we look at the highest age group for which we have long term data and that is banded at both ends, ages 75-84, and again look at deaths per million, we see from the green line the opposite affect. Deaths running very low here in this age group. Presumably because of an absence of ‘dry timber’ for want of a more human expression.

It’s these older age groups including the over 80s that is the reason total deaths are running below ‘average’.

I suggest that there is an impact of the vaccines in ‘excess deaths’ of something like 15 per week per million (say, just eyeballing it for now) and that this is less dependent on age.

So, for older age groups the death rate swamps that 15 per million.

But for lower age groups that 15 per million is very important.

Add to that the suggestion that ‘all the very ill people succumbed to covid during 2020, Jan 2021 and summer 2021’, then this could readily result in lower death rates in those in the oldest age groups but noticeable increased death rates in younger age groups.

Yes, agree.

That’s one of the shocking things that the experimental vaccines can do a lot of harm in the oldest age groups without it being at all apparent in the overall death numbers, because of the dry tinder affect.

And in the working age groups you don’t notice the affect on mortality at all unless you look at mortality by age band because the oldest drive the overall death numbers without banding.

Europe Reloaded reports that same phenomena in Spain
.
Cascón Porres commented on the rise in unexplained deaths:

“And that is exactly the problem. These are deaths that occur without being diagnosed, and maybe that’s why they are less important: They don’t create more pressure in the hospital, but people definitely die.”

The UPM researcher noted that it made little sense that all of this data was only used to produce reports on excess mortality, but not to look for the cause.

Deaths within 14 days of injection happening at home perhaps (ref VAERS data)

Virus will still be useful to TRPTB in order to achieve control via digital ID, so they won’t give up the fear porn easily.
That’s their endgame and route to permanent power over us all – they think.
But, who knows for sure. Everyone makes mistakes including/especially those bastards. (Blair, Gates et al).

My fear is of mandatory mrna jabs. synthesized gene sequencing for any and all human ailments you could think of and for eternity – or as long as the human survives.
Of course the jabs can’t affect your DNA?
Say hello to polymerase Theta for that one lol. – quite apart from the trashing of your innate immune system to get the thing into your cells, and they haven’t a clue as to precisely how that works either.

Try to understand the immune system before you mess with it. Nature is biting back…

Innate Immune Suppression by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccinations: The role of G-quadruplexes, exosomes and microRNAs

In this paper, we present the evidence that vaccination, unlike natural
infection, induces a profound impairment in type I interferon
signaling, which has diverse adverse consequences to human health…

and…

These disturbances are shown to have a potentially direct causal link to
neurodegenerative disease, myocarditis, immune thrombocytopenia, Bell’s
palsy, liver disease, impaired adaptive immunity, increased
tumorigenesis, and DNA damage…

They had plenty of evidence from the failed SARs 1 mRNA vaccines that killed all the test animals.

They probably have “plausible deniability” about these effects on Humans, because they didn’t look for them, and their “trials” were designed not to find them.

This ‘deaths in private homes still running high’ bothers me. I doubt very much that these are people who have come to the end of the line, and willingly and peacefully shuffle off their mortal coil in their own beds. More likely they have repeatedly tried to see a gp, or being frail, have asked for a gp to come and see them. (which ain’t going to happen is it? An elderly infirm friend was asked to take a photo of her varicose ulcer, despite having no means to take a picture, or e mail it on, and was spoken to as if she was being a right stupid nuisance). Otherwise I expect they have been waiting hours for an ambulance and have died before it could arrive, or else they’ve been fobbed off by 111. A friend recently waited 11 HOURS for an ambulance. It’s disgraceful. People are dying because we have virtually no non urgent medical care in large swathes of the country.

Or because they are so afraid of actually being taken into hospital (disappearing into the ‘system’ as they’d see it) and not being allowed visitors or any communication with their loved ones. How frightening that would be for an elderly person, with no mobile phone, and no support. I’m sure there are many like that who would rather die in their own bed.

A dear friend of mine, in her mid 80s, had a fall last year and after a spell in hospital was discharged to a Nursing Home. She has no family and I would love to visit her. All I know is that she is in one of three Homes but it has been impossible to find out which one. I have contacted all 3 but each one has told me they’re not allowed to divulge whether she’s with them. She must feel totally abandoned.

send mail to her at all 3, put your ‘if undelivered’ return address on the back.

Failing that phone them up claiming to be her relative demanding to find where she was sent after the hospital visit.

All of these draconian lockdowns and NPIs were marketed as being necessary to protect “public health?”

At this point, does anyone really think that “public health” is better today than it was two years ago? It’s far worse. The Law of Opposite Effects kicks in yet again.

THE MIDDLE CLASSES ARE LOVING IT!

ScotRail’s peak services ‘won’t return to pre-Covid levels’ – BBC News

Surprise, surprise, the middle classes are not going back to work! Confirming for many that the last two years was a holiday (no commute and lots of extra free time and money to buy a new house – the soda bread baking generation). Hence what was there to question (actually more freedom in a perverse way), especially if you were in the public sector on full pay.

So the future is hybrid working for the middle classes who the working classes will service, whilst the working classes themselves can get stuffed, or vote for the ‘labour’ party. Oh dear.
