Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 94

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:
1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Date: 2023-05-24 08:52 pm (UTC)The graph doesn't look great. The trendline of excess mortality in the 0-49 age range is rising since the start of 2022 and doesn't show any sign of slowing down.
This mirrors the situation in Europe where this year has been the most deadly of the pandemic for people under 45 (https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps; the sum of the graphs 0-14 and 15-44 is higher than any other year).
For Europeans 45+ the situation is better though and for them 2023 is the least deadly year of the pandemic. This is a somewhat puzzling dichotomy. Yet, even for the older people there is still excess mortality. If the situation was normal, we would by now see a large mortality defict.
PS I think it is not just the vax that is responsible. Although the low-vax countries are doing better than the high-vax countries since Spring 2022, the low-vax countries have only seen a small part of the expected large mortality deficit. For example compare Portugal (highest vaxxed country in the EU) and Burgaria (lowest vaxxed) https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-03-01..latest&facet=none&country=PRT~BGR&pickerSort=asc&pickerMetric=location&Metric=Excess+mortality+%28%25%29&Interval=Weekly&Relative+to+Population=true&Color+by+test+positivity=false

The number calculated is 273,905.

Re: Increase in excess deaths in the UK
Date: 2023-05-28 07:33 pm (UTC)Unfortunately OHS has started to use the years 2017-2019, 2021 and 2022 as reference, normalising the excess mortality of those last 2 years. As excess mortality was 8-10% in both years, the expected mortality is 2/5 of 8-10% = ca 3.6% higher. This means that excess mortality is underreported by ca 3.6%. As Churcill said:"There are lies, damn lies, and statistics"
