Some interesting info./data coming to light from 'actuarybyday' on Bluesky comparing and presenting annual death figures from England and Wales now we have year end for 2024 available...
And the headline is we really don't have any excess death rate last year even compared to 2019. First year since 2020 this has happened.
Digging deeper, we find deaths of younger adults are still a little higher than expected and deaths of older adults are 6-8% lower.
Worth noting here is I believe the UK had some form of covid doing the rounds in the last few months of 2019 before it came again in early 2020 in a more virulent form. Maybe a third to half our population had the infection before any vixenation started. Many of our jabs when they came were not mRNA. All this probably dilutes any original antigenic sin, a particular problem if vixenated by mRNA before any infection. This obviously doesn't affect any direct vixen damage.
I still feel something is up with cancer and cardiac issues alongside immunity compromise in at least a significant minority leading to more bugs doing the rounds right now.

"Death rates fell for all age groups between 2023 and 2024, but trends are very different for different age groups.
Death rates for younger adults remain significantly higher than pre-pandemic. Meanwhile older groups have seen significant mortality improvement."
