Government Refuses to Investigate What’s Behind the Thousands of Excess Deaths

We have drawn readers’ attention to the Government’s Chief Medical Officer’s contention that the cause of excess deaths was a lack of access to cardiovascular drugs, blood pressure monitoring and cancer services. The first two are evidence-free statements, as we pointed out.

On January 24th, Esther McVey MP asked whether the His Majesty’s Government was investigating or was planning to do so and received an evasive answer from the Minister citing the usual F Word (flu) and C Word (Covid) plus some waffle.

Now Lord Strathcarron has asked the same question and received an answer from Lord Markham.

Or did he get an answer? He got a reply and more waffle about the F and C words. The Government seems quite happy to let things run their course.

But there is no need to worry – apart from this slight problem with deaths – the Government is keeping an eye on your health, have no fear. And it does not need to investigate as there are a variety of folks (we’re not sure if this includes us) producing “diverse estimates” with various methods.

Oh, by the way: F and C have been nose-diving for some time after a steep upward and downward trajectory. But not so excess non-Covid mortality, which we’ve been writing about since August when we launched our Substack and pointed out we have reached the point for triggering a causal investigation. Nothing has changed our concern.

Dr. Carl Heneghan is the Oxford Professor of Evidence Based Medicine and Dr. Tom Jefferson is an epidemiologist based in Rome who works with Professor Heneghan on the Cochrane Collaboration. This article was first published on their Substack blog, Trust The Evidence, which you can subscribe to here.

Stop Press: The ONS reports today another 1,377 excess deaths above the pre-pandemic average in the week ending January 27th 2023. However, because the report now includes the figures from 2021 in the five-year average, the official excess figure is reduced to just 259. Magic!

‘Diversity is our strength. as long as your diverse opinions fully support the criminal cabal, criminal Pharma, criminal fake news and criminal politicians.’

Midazolam Matt Wancock completely free and unfettered.
Pharma criminals who killed 100 K in the UK? Indemnified.
But during an illegal fascist lockdown, you had a coffee outside near a gazebo, 20 yards from a coffee shop, with your 12 y.o. son in the winter and someone called the police….arrested for ‘breaking the rules’ and now with a record.

I was wondering if/how authorities were going to fudge the excess death data. Last line of the article shows us how: Include 2021 deaths in the five-year pre-pandemic average.

That’s the beauty of Stats, application and interpretation. Engineers and Scientists use stats to ease uncertainty, politicians use them with certainty relying on population gullibility to believe them……..Failed again aint they?

These are today’s all-cause weekly deaths from ONS for the week ending 27th January. Comparisons are with the population-adjusted years 2010-2019 (note: not age-standardised!).

  • The last three weeks data deaths are 22.7% above average – and 3.1% above the maximum.
  • The total for the year to date shows deaths are 10.6% above average. This includes the beginning of 2022 which had average deaths – until the spring booster on 1st April.
  • From 1st April 2022 to the present, deaths are 12.6% above average and 3.1% above maximum.

I consider 12.6% as the most significant representation of overall excess deaths, and the recent 22.7% indicates a worsening situation. More details here.

Your data in the details indicate a 21% increase in deaths for 10-14s and about a 47% increase over the last week? Total deaths or excess? Horrifying. (Sorry, didn’t want to download the file.)

Exactly! As I comment on my Telegram Group:

“Note the deaths in the lower age bands for the last 3 weeks. Ages 1-9 down. Ages 10-14 up 21%. Ages 15-19 down. The trend is similar over any period during the last year. Specifically, this last week shows an increase of 46.8% in the 10-14 year band. Now what has been different for this age band, particularly over recent months? Answers on a post-card, please!”

Chief Medical Officer’s contention that the cause of excess deaths was a lack of access to cardiovascular drugs

Spoken like a true sales rep for the pharma industry.

The ONS/RPTB know full well the vax status of most, but by no means all, of the UK’s population.
So I look forward to the comparative death/hospitalisation rates being made public in the near future. Lol.

About 18 months ago you couldn’t go to a cinema/theatre/football match without them wanting you to prove your vax/covid status before entry.
And now, for some strange reason it’s the last thing they want to know when you die.

The Government doesn’t need an investigation, it already knows. But Ministers don’t want to own up to it and end up in Court on murder (and other) charges.

As the police, the CPS and the Courts are as corrupt as the rest of our institutions I don’t think that’s the reason.

Possibly. But I think the more likely reason is that the Global Health Organisations want to use mRNA as a platform technology ….. to rush out future jabs in 100 days, with minimal safety trials. So they daren’t admit that the basic technology is flawed and is killing hundreds of thousands of people.

Meanwhile in the USA, more than 400 products, including sandwiches, salads, snacks, yogurt, and wraps that were sold under various brand names have been recalled by the FDA because they ‘might’ be contaminated with Listeria after retained samples from the manufacturer tested positive.

There are no reported cases.

But despite tens of thousands of reported deaths and injuries from the mRNA junk – no recall or ban on sales.

Funny old World.

Here is my chart of the 4 week running average of the percentage excess deaths by 5 year age band since the beginning of 2020 relative to the 2015-2019 average for England and Wales. I’ve truncated the excess Spring 2020 and January 2021 peaks so that excesses for the recent period can be seen. The excess percentages are after adjusting for population in each age band in each year based on mid-year population estimates (the 5 year average is adjusted for the average population between 2015 and 2019). As these are narrow age bands we are therefore taking out most of the effect of population increase and an ageing population. The solid lines as you can see represent the oldest age groups, the dashed lines the middle age groups and the dotted lines the younger age groups.The individual lines are hard to see but look at the patterns. I’ll only mention the period from 2022 but the period before then is also interesting. The % excess deaths has been running high (positive excess) in all age groups in the second half of 2022 and running high in 2023 in all age groups barring the youngest age groups below age 25.… Read more »

And this is 2023 so far using the same population adjustment.

These percentages represent the final points on the previous chart, since there have been 4 weeks of death figures for 2023, and the previous chart is based on a 4 weekly average which therefore covers the first 4 weeks of 2023 in it’s final point.

And here is 2022 split by first half and second half.

Note excess mortality in every age group for the second half of 2022 (the blue bars are all positive). If you look at the original chart you can see why that is the case.

As well as excess deaths it is interesting to compare registered deaths with registered live births. The birth data does not come out in a weekly charts like deaths but nonetheless as best i can see, we are running at about 5% – 7% more registered deaths than registered live births. In many previous years live births routinely ran ahead of registered deaths. It will be interesting to see if this is a ‘blip’ or a sustained trend?

I think the way you can tell this is a mass delusion, rather than a cover-up, is that neither Labour, nor any other opposition parties around the world (as far as I am aware) are making a fuss about excess mortality. Normally when there is the slightest whiff of a scandal, they would be shouting from the rooftops, but nada, crickets. The possibility that they’ve all been duped is just too difficult for them to get their tiny brains around.They’ve all imbibed of the Kool Aid and are going down with the ship.

Ah excess mortality…the gift that keeps on giving. Is there any country that has performed a legit investigation into their non-Covid excess death situation? And I don’t mean just the government investigating their own crime of democide, which would be ridiculous.

Here’s Japan’s situation, showing one hell of a correlation;

I suspect the excess deaths are a combination of climate change, microaggressions, white privilege, transphobia, systemic racism and fallout from the #MeToo movement. 🤪

I believe the only solution is more surveillance, more socialist policies, bigger government and more authoritarianism. 😆

I expect the Globalists Health Bureaucrats and Gates haven’t yet given “our” Government its instructions.

They can’t have one Government “breaking ranks” with all the others who coerced their populations to participate in the mass medical experiment. They will either have to maintain their silence on this matter or come up with a united response.

Personally, I hope it ends in a circular firing squad and they are ALL eliminated.

This is utterly tragic..the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, pretty much begging for sanctions on Syria to be lifted, and aid to be given from Europe and USAID…..

Presumably they only have money and aid for war…and profit?
