Many countries are reporting a marked drop in birth rates in the first part of 2022, nine months after the vaccination rollouts to younger age groups. Is there a link?
Once you take into account that non-Covid excess mortality is skewed heavily towards the old, the estimate of vaccine mortality in the over-75s exceeds one in 1,000 doses or 0.1%. Fourth doses are bearing this out.
A comparison of non-Covid excess mortality rates in Denmark and the U.K. finds that they closely resemble each other at approximately 250 per million doses, i.e., a fatality rate of 0.025% or one every 4,000 doses.
The UK has used just 142 million of the stockpile of 650 million vaccine doses it purchased, leaving an estimated £4 billion worth of vaccines unused and, at current levels of take-up, likely going to waste.
Take out the noise from the mortality data for England and Wales and what you find are 23,000 additional deaths since the vaccine rollout began that urgently need to be explained.
