Skin Cancer Diagnosis Delays Caused by Lockdowns Led to 12,000 Years of Life Lost
Delays in diagnosing skin cancer because of Covid lockdowns led to 12,000 years of life lost in Britain, it has been estimated. The Telegraph has the story.
University College London (UCL) analysed records from more than 50,000 patients across Europe, including the U.K., and calculated how many people’s cancer would have progressed from one stage owing to delays in beginning or continuing treatment.
Both screening services and treatments were disrupted in 2020 and 2021 by lockdown restrictions, staff shortages and fear of infection.
The team who worked with the University of Basel, in Switzerland, estimated that around 17% of people progressed to a higher stage of cancer in 2020-2021, owing to delays in diagnosis or treatment of two to three months or longer.
It equates to more than 12,000 years of life lost in Britain and to more than 100,000 years of life lost across Europe.
Dr. Kaustubh Adhikari of UCL Genetics, Evolution and Environment said: “As many people missed appointments to detect or treat skin cancer, their cancer progressed to a later stage, which resulted in more expensive care and a greater risk that the treatment would not be successful.
“It’s alarming that for just one disease, there were many years of life lost, a lower quality of life for many thousands of people, and billions of pounds of economic impact – this may be just the tip of the iceberg of the consequences of delayed diagnosis and treatment due to lockdowns.”

‘Didn’t they do well?’
The sheer awfulness and magnitude of what they unleashed is inevitably coming to light but the miseries behind these figures will sadly remain largely unknown.

Hux – please see the following video about those that feel there are too many people. You probably know this already but in my humble opinion this is a useful perspective. It is not short but the ending pays tribute to Edward G Robinson and is quite profound and the antithesis of anything that the Club of Rome or the WEF can dream up for the plebs.

Thanks sskinner. Will have a watch later.
2020 the year we ventilated the elderly to death to stop the evil orange one from winning 2020 and bank some mullah from clot shots. It was surely a worthy sacrifice all those terrified elderly?
The scary thing is they can do this any year they choose to now, so long as drs can be persuaded sticking old frail ppl on ventilators is a cracking idea. For those doubting what I say, recall early in the narrative asthmatics were apparently “doing no worse” with the Rona. This was simply because even mad drs weren’t ventilating quite as eagerly as other groups but instead administered steroids.
12,000 years of life lost… That is like killing 300 people of average age. Taking a single life will rightfully land you in jail. But do you think anyone will be punished in any way for killing the equivalent of 300 people? I don’t. I don’t think even one single person will be asked to resign over this, let alone face jail time. Rules for thee but not for me. Get back to work, peasants.
Todd Hayen with a perfect response. Why will nobody face jail time?

We are the useless eaters who must be destroyed. I frequently refer to depopulation but more realistically and honestly the aim is genocide.
The people who should go to gaol own the system – the police, the CPS, the judges, the media – and they will not have themselves arrested and put on trial.
But it’s OK… if only one granny were saved by lockdowns it’s all worthwhile.
Which Granny?
Hmm. Your figure suggests 40 years of life lost per person (300 people). Typical age at death is around 80 in the UK, so actually it would be like killing 300 x 40 year olds or maybe 600 x 60 year olds or 1,200 x 70 year olds.
That’s why I said “300 people of average age”. The average age in the UK is about 40.
But nobody on trial yet.
Indeed. But as “inquiry” “barrister”, Hugo Keith KC, put it: “we’re not interested in QALYs”.
This film ( 1hr 40mins ) might appeal to some people, though I’ve only skipped through it as I’m completely over all things ‘Covid’ related now. Also I think looking back on the madness and the blatant abuse of human rights, as well as the sheer amount of lies and propaganda we were all exposed to, would just trigger me to be honest. This is focused on Germany and the so-called ”Covid response” over there. It touches on the death jabs towards the end; ”During the Corona years 2020-2022, for the first time in history, national policies of almost all countries have been „harmonized“ and brought into global lockstep. Whereas the overall pattern was astonishingly similar, some countries went particularly far in implementing strict Corona measures: Germany is a sad example of this. While other countries had already been celebrating “Freedom Day”, politicians in Germany misinterpreted the Omicron variant as particularly dangerous and worked politically towards general mandatory vaccinations for the population – which ultimately failed in April 2022 in the Bundestag, the German parliament. Throughout the winter of 2021/2022, unvaccinated people in Germany were excluded from social life beyond supermarket, townhall and doctor, and bullied by the media on… Read more »
Maximum cultural enrichment kicking off over here tonight in The Hague. Just the Eritreans squabbling amongst themselves yet again. ”Diversity is our strength” is what I’m sure the police who attended must’ve been thinking…
”Police officers in The Hague used tear gas in an attempt to quell rioting after a brawl broke out between two groups of Eritreans at the Opera conference hall on Fruitweg. A police car was also set on fire near the scene on Saturday evening. It is was not immediately known whether there were any injuries.
It is not yet known what caused the confrontation. Rioters pelted the police with large rocks, bicycles and traffic signs. According to Omroep West, bicycles, branches and fireworks were also thrown.
The windows of the conference center were smashed. The rioters were also trying to break inside, according to a reporter at the scene. The police were trying to protect the building. The fire brigade was dispatched to the scene, but left the area.”

The fairest and most reasonable solution would be to round the bastards up and ship ’em off to somewhere they would feel more comfortable.
