I'm with you on this one. I've been carefully monitoring the excess death data, and there's quite a few countries which are now recording lower than expected mortality. At last check (this morning), those countries were Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Singapore, Iceland, Israel (it's just recently tipped over into reduced mortality), and maybe a few others. All those countries have high to very high vaccination rates. Living in New Zealand (90%+ vaccinated), I can also follow my own observations - at best, there's two degrees of separation here. People are not dying (40 deaths so far from Covid, in total), I am not seeing my vaccinated friends falling over sick with heart attacks, although there have been a couple of cases of deaths from myocarditis (officially confirmed) induced by the vaccine.
Where countries had high excess mortality, they appears to be dropping back into the single digits - still higher than normal, but I don't see a signature for a lot of vaccine induced death here. On this I'm guided by the Israel situation - one of the first countries to achieve a high vaccination rate, and the first to engage in at least two rounds of boosters. If there is to be widespread vaccine induced death, it isn't showing yet.
Now, I get that there are now different realities, and I don't want to judge from one reality to another. So, the expected arguments against what I've put up would probably include:
*Vaccine induced death and sickness are different matters entirely, and the vaccine induced sickness (less than death) won't appear in the mortality data. * It's still too early for this stuff to appear (particularly for New Zealand) * The data isn't being recorded, or fudged * Different batches of the vaccine produced different results * Countries and regions literally have different outcomes - I'm entirely open to the idea that the US could be experiencing this Covid business differently to other places in the world.
