Professor Richard Ennos, a retired Professor of Evolutionary Biology at Edinburgh University, writes:
In Scotland this summer there has been excess mortality for the past 21 weeks with the total excess now exceeding 3,000 deaths. I and others have written to MSPs about the dreadful situation asking for a thorough analysis of what is responsible. In response we have been sent a reply from Anita Morrison, Head of Health and Social Care Analysis and Support, that I reproduce below. Five possible explanations are given, none of which reflect favourably on the Scottish Government’s public health policy. To paraphrase her reply, 45% are due to COVID-19 and the rest are accounted for by one or more of:
- COVID-19 deaths that were not recognised.
- Unintended consequences of the Scottish Government’s non-clinical response to COVID-19 (masks, social isolation etc.).
- Problems with access to the health and social care services (presumably due to Scottish government policy of withdrawing these).
- Patients not accessing services that were available (presumably because they were too scared of catching COVID-19 due to Scottish government exaggeration of the risks).
- Some other cause that has not been identified.
What follows is my reply to Anita Morrison to point out that her response is a damning indictment of Scottish Government public health policy whose outcome should ultimately be measured by the metric of excess deaths.

28th October 2021
Dear Anita Morrison
Thank you for your response to my letter, originally addressed to Sarah Boyack MSP, concerning the unprecedented rise in excess deaths in Scotland this summer that continues as I write (252 excess deaths above five-year average in the past week 42, 24% higher than normal). It is now indisputable that some major health catastrophe is unfolding in Scotland this summer. It is clearly essential that there is serious scrutiny of the health policies that have been adopted by the Scottish Government that have led to this situation. To help with this I would like to look in some detail at the explanations that you have provided for the incredibly worrying situation, and set out the implications of what you have written.
In your response you have put forward the argument that some 45% of these excess deaths have been caused by Covid. This proposition relies on the assumption that all Covid deaths represent excess deaths, a position that is hard to sustain given that Covid deaths are associated with multiple comorbidities, and therefore are unlikely to be exclusively in addition to deaths that would have occurred anyway from other causes.
Setting aside this difficulty, and assuming that 45% of excess deaths are due to Covid, this indicates that the policies that have been pursued by the Scottish Government have been unsuccessful in controlling deaths from Covid this summer. This is in contrast to the summer of 2020 when there was no such excess of deaths due to Covid or any other cause. This increase in the impact of Covid in Scotland between the summers of 2020 and 2021 is nicely illustrated using National Records of Scotland data from the two years stratified by different age groups.
A simple and compelling explanation for these data is that a policy has been enacted in 2021 that was not enacted in 2020 that has caused a three- to six-fold increase in summer Covid hospitalisations. What could that be?
Let us now turn to the majority of excess deaths that cannot be accounted for by Covid. I will be using the most up to date figures from the National Records of Scotland for the summer period 2021 up to week 42 that indicate 3,028 excess deaths (rather than your figures that extend only to week 40). The National Records of Scotland classify these deaths according to their causes, location and age. This is illustrated below.
Here we see that Covid can actually account for a maximum of only 26% of excess deaths in summer 2021. Significant rises in cancer and circulatory deaths are concerning, but perhaps of greater note is that 44% of excess deaths come under the classification of ‘Other’. They are not the kinds of deaths that are readily classifiable into the normal categories that we expect in Scotland, or they would have been placed in those categories. It is therefore these ‘Other’ deaths, some 44% of the total, that we need to investigate in great detail.
From the other panels in the graph above we can see that these ‘Other’ deaths are occurring at home, implying that they are likely to have been sudden because there has been no hospital admission. Furthermore, these excess deaths are not confined to the oldest age groups, where we expect most deaths, but are extended into the younger age group. Analysis of the timing of this rise in excess death shows that it started in the oldest age group and is initiated sequentially in ever younger age groups (see graph below). This strongly suggests that there is some cause for these excess deaths at home that operates first in the elderly and works its way sequentially down the age groups in Scotland. What could this be?
Now let us look at the non-Covid explanations that you have provided for the dramatic increase in excess deaths in Scotland over the past summer.
Your first explanation is that the summer excess deaths recorded as non-Covid are actually due to Covid, but have not been certified as such. I see that you yourself are not convinced by this explanation given the level of testing that has taken place. However, let us suppose this to be true. In that case the Scottish Government’s public health measures that have been put in place in summer 2021 to prevent Covid have been far worse than those put in place in summer 2020 – indeed they have been disastrous.
Your second explanation is that the non-clinical responses to COVID-19 put in place by the Scottish Government (mask-wearing, social isolation etc.) have had unintended deleterious consequences on public health and have dramatically increased the rates of death in the Scottish population. This is an admission of abject failure of the Scottish Government’s public health response to Covid. Public health policy is all about balancing the benefits and risks of interventions to achieve the lowest possible impact during a health emergency. It is pertinent to remember that no benefit-risk assessment of non-clinical interventions on the physical and mental health of the Scottish population was conducted before these interventions were enforced.
Your third explanation is that there has been a problem with access to health and social care services, and patients have not received the care they required from the NHS. Access to these services over the past 20 months has been under the control of the Scottish Government, so if this explanation is correct, then the Scottish Government is culpable for increasing the death rate in Scotland. Numerous policies have been deliberately pursued to dramatically reduce GP face-to-face consultation, to cancel appointments and operations in hospitals etc., so the evidence to support this, as at least a partial explanation, is overwhelming.
Your fourth explanation is that individuals who are in poor health have not referred themselves to health and social care services as they would at other times. To some extent this would be confounded with Scottish Government policies of restricting health care provision discussed above. However there has also been a concerted and relentless media campaign by the Scottish Government to increase fear in the public, particularly fear of hospitals where they may catch Covid. This has meant that they have not gone for treatment when it was necessary. Whatever the proximal cause of failure to seek medical attention, the ultimate cause and responsibility lies in Scottish Government policy.
Your final explanation for the dramatic rise in excess deaths in summer 2021 is that there is some other cause that has not yet been identified. As noted earlier the phenomenon of excess deaths in the presence of a Covid epidemic was not seen in summer 2020, but is seen in summer 2021. What differs between the two years? The glaringly obvious answer is the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccination. There was no COVID-19 vaccination programme in 2020, but there was roll-out of Covid vaccinations in a sequential way to increasingly younger age groups in 2021, a pattern that we see in the manifestation of excess deaths. All of the COVID-19 vaccines are novel and experimental with no long-term safety data. They are now associated with a wide range of serious side-effects (blood clotting, myocarditis, Guillain-Barre syndrome) whose likely frequency in the wider population was not assessed in the small-scale phase one and two trials that included only a subset of healthy volunteers. The Yellow Card adverse events reporting system, that capture only a fraction of events, has already recorded over 1,700 deaths in the U.K. population associated with the COVID-19 vaccines. There is therefore a prima facie case for COVID-19 vaccination being a contributing factor to the dramatic rise in summer excess deaths in Scotland in 2021.
I am very grateful for your response to my original letter. It has been extremely helpful in crystalising my thoughts about the causes of the dramatic and continuing rise in excess deaths that we currently see in Scotland. My conclusion is that whatever the true explanation for the phenomenon, it is rooted in the misguided and disastrous public health policies of the Scottish Government. The analysis has moreover highlighted that a significant contributor to the excess death of the Scottish population this summer may be adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccines, a factor that apparently has not occurred to either the Scottish Government or yourself. I would be grateful if you would pass on this insight to the Scottish Health minister so that unnecessary suffering and death is not meted out on the adults, and now children of Scotland.
Yours sincerely
Richard Ennos
To join in with the discussion please make a donation to The Daily Sceptic.
Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Here you go again Daily Sceptic, posting unremarkable stuff at 7am thus killing off the Roundup before most readers have got out of bed.
Why do you think this is unremarkable?
As a general topic it’s been spoken of for weeks, the fact that à Professor in Scotland is speaking about it is not remarkable but that is not my main point.
The author of the roundup provides numerous topics worthy of consideration that will now not be seen by most later readers (through their own fault granted).
DS could have waited a couple of hours to give the roundup greater traction
Why would the round-up not be seen? Admittedly I’m on a laptop, but whenever I go to the site I always have a quick scroll down to check for any other posts since I last visited. Can’t this be done on a phone?
Well it can be done on Android.
There’s also 24/7 nature of working hours and time-zones
Yes it can but few comments are made in response to the articles included once a new page has gone up. Roundup usually only has top billing from midnight – 7 or 8am, whenever that new page is posted.
As indicated in my reply to maggie may, it is simply because most visitors don’t go there subsequently, up to them of course.
These unexpected excess deaths are all over the papers this morning.
No mention of the vaccine Programme if course but readers are not stupid and neither are the parents or surviving pupils.
These (you can’t edit a picture in)
Guess what, not a word in the Daily Fail on your story, they have this though.
They’re gonna need a LOT of lollipops! Teary kids get their COVID shots as vaccinations for five to 11-year-olds begin
I feel ill
That headline from The Mail is positively one of the sickest I have ever seen.
Unbelievable given that anybody with even a smidgen of knowledge about the Scam knows that some of these children will die as a direct result of these injections and some sooner than later.
Whoever is responsible should be sacked immediately.
You thought that was horrific, watch this masterpiece of propaganda!
Pfizer: Kids are superheroes with superpowers for taking the “vaccine”
Their depravity has no limit.
American kids are probably conditioned by their usual TV output to accept schmaltz crap like that.
Lord Rothermere, I believe, is the man you need to question.
That Daily Mail headline writer appears to have gone full Jimmy Savile.
Thanks, I’ll check that again later when the Daily Mail readers have had more of a say.
If your idea is to distract attention away from more serious matters by nitpicking over minor details then it would seem you have succeeded, so congratulations are in order. Well done.
My idea was to comment on the timing policy of the editorial team.
No proof though that it was the ‘vaccines’ wot dunnit. There would be hundreds or thousands of schoolkids who would have keeled over by now, from the ‘vaccines’ if they really were that poisonous.
A reminder that 6 weeks of jabbing kids aged 12 and up in schools have gone by already – today is Day 34.
Of the parents who said “Over my dead body will I allow this!” strangely there are no dead parents… all mouth and no trousers.
Apparently heads of schools have been served with ‘letters of liability’ – yet the jabbings are still going on. Looks like the heads have thrown those letters in the bin!
How many deaths of children and at what point should they become a concern?
Check out the local newspaper “Stoke Sentinel”.
considering child deaths of covid are say 1 in a million, 2 in a million child deaths of the vaccine would be an utter catastrophe – but would be quite hard to extract from the data
Child deaths among “healthy” children (those without severe or life-altering medical conditions) are actually about 1 in 2 million (approximately 1 in 5 million for non-minority children). This was the finding of a study of COVID deaths in the U.K. in the first 12 months of the pandemic. Researchers from prestigious institutions looked at medical records of every hospitalized child in the UK. Among other findings, they reduced the number of deaths from COVID from 61 to 25 (a 59 percent reduction). They also found that of these 25 COVID deaths, 19 occurred in children with very severe existing medical conditions. This left six (6) deaths among “healthy” children – among a population of about 12 million UK children ages 0 to 17.
All of the injected kids are at grave risk, some will die quickly, others more protractedly.
Schoolgate mums don’t do ‘evidence’.
The victims former classmates will know which of them were jabbed and which were not so hopefully the truth will out.
But the press is unlikely to report the truth.
A cynical person would infer from your comments that you are from the 77th.
If you bothered to do any research, you’ll find that some schools have indeed stopped the jabbings.
And there are reports of school children dying. Nobody has ever claimed that everyone who takes the jab will keel over straight away – but it has been pointed out that the odds of a healthy child dying from Covid-19 are something like 1-in-2,000,000. However, the likelihood of dying after the jabs is something like 1-in-30,000. Jabbing children is therefore a crime against humanity.
Healthy kids keeling over are as rare as hen’s teeth and amazingly last week two in a school near Stoke were early victims. Most kids and adults though, will die rather more slowly, perhaps over the coming months and years. Early deaths are not a very good advert for the Covid “poison death shots” so they will obviously aim to keep these to a minimum.
https://twitter.com/SaferToWait/status/1454944140140195840
Horrible trend in older kids, particularly since summer when the jabbing accellerated
Unremarkable stuff? Hmm, I think it is a fantastic piece.
I don’t understand, how does posting this story “kill off the roundup”?
See my response to DeborahT above please.
KV:
Ordinarily I always give you an uptick for your thoughtful and measured comments. In this instance you are actually bang out of order. This article is worthy of ‘start the day’ and if fellow readers are too lazy to follow what comes after – Daily Roundup – why are they here?
Point taken and thank you for your comment.
Just wish DS could wait until after breakfast before posting new pages.
Eat breakfast earlier. Problem solved.
I’ve no idea what your argument is, I mostly depend on the excellent daily email.
It’s not an argument, it’s a comment on the timing of posting new pages above the daily roundup on Daily Sceptic.
Thank you for responding and uptick given.
Delighted, I’m all in favour or freedom of expression.
You snooze you lose. What, Toby and the team should wait until 10:30am when the lazy ones have got out of bed? Also, there’s a scroll key on your keyboard. Maybe you need to wake up earlier and learn how a computer works. Dumbest comment of the year well done.
Whatever you say, newby.
Having different points of view is perfectly acceptable; being pointedly rude does not usually feature on this forum.
The excess deaths are worse than the figures here. Mortality has been consistently declining year-on-year, so the 5-year average is higher than the expected value (think of it like walking down a hill; your expected height in 100 yds time is lower than the average of the last 500 yds).
What would we do without RETIRED professors, shame the younger generations don’t have bigger balls.
Look out for devi sridhar, discrediting this man in MSM shortly.
Well done to Professor Ennos for a brilliant and succinct illustration of disastrous policy effects (and tptb pig-headedness) in a small population.
It’s beyond scandalous now.
Amazing to me that Ms Morrison should admit in writing that Scottish Government policy was responsible for this ie through interventions, denial of health services etc. However, i doubt if heads will roll.
Let’s face it mein führer, chairman Nik Sturg-un has fucked everything else up (s)he’s ever touched, why be surprised about this. Yet tosser’s still vote for her.
Has she fucked up more than bozo or drakeford who were all playing follow- my-leader in lockdown policies?
Toby was predicting excess non Covid deaths here @ Lockdownsceptics.org 18 months ago when it became clear that the NHS was not being overrun and most hospitals were tumbleweed central all of last spring and most of last summer.
Various readers over time have listed predictable causes for preventable excess mortality over the ensuing months too numerous to mention but let’s start with suicide which began from week 1 way back in March 2020.
So far yes, because (s)he’s put the hate (free) speech bill into statute. & bankrupt Scotland, so yeah!
Uh oh watch out an SNP voter!

Ed. Ah, I get it, the downticker
Excess deaths is a terrible, Orwellian term.
It implies that there is a right amount of deaths and that over that amount something is going terribly wrong.
Furthermore, it tends to lead to the idea that there is a central state authority that is responsible for ensuring the “right” amount of deaths.
The term also conceals the fact that the benchmark is completely arbitrary. It’s usually a 5 year average. But why 5 years? Why not 10? Why not 25? Why not 100? Over the 100 year average, we’re doing really well. No “excess” at all.
Worse still, the excess deaths calculation doesn’t take into consideration the age of the population which in a rapidly ageing population like ours is not something to be ignored.
The term excess deaths was innocuous enough when nobody paid any attention to it. But now that we have become obsessed with the death rate of the population, it is a problem.
As Orwell went to great lengths to point out, words matter and in this case it is contributing to ideas and policies that hurt us.
‘Avoidable deaths caused by lockdown’ is a bit clumsy.
lockdown manslaughter?
Don’t think anybody got away with manslaughter at Nuremberg.
No amount of death justifies dictatorship, in fact the greater the risk the more important you live your life in the present, not hiding under your bed waiting for the Grimm reaper to appear!
It was never about a virus!
As time goes on, the excess deaths become part of the five year average. That is, the higher rate of deaths eventually becomes the norm.

What kind of crap is this COVID-19 pandemic cost 31 countries 28 million combined years of life in 2020 How many billions of years of life did government lockdown lose?
It has been calculated early on by reputable professors (e. g. Raffelhueschen) as being a multiple of Covid life years lost- in the hundreds!
And that’s without the 3rd world deaths due to our Western Lockdowns.
And this has been, is and will continue to be ignored.

The fact she tried to claim all Covid deaths are part of the excess is just evidence they are covering for something, badly. To say someone with 3 co morbidities and a dysfunctional immune system due to 3 vaccines is an unexpected excess death is ridiculous.
It’s a wishlist.
A pretty desperate one, fantasy-style.
I’ve seen this claimed multiple times, from so called health experts. It doesn’t add up, or make sense. As shown here, C19 is one of the many respiratory viruses, perhaps the main one currently, that is an end of life disease. We’re not seeing a much bigger than normal seasonal impact of those. So most of these excess deaths are being mislabelled. Unless I’m missing something glaringly obvious?
I wonder why humans ‘with Covid’ are not culled, like the swans? Get a ‘ping’ on your phone and you know you’re next for the guillotine.
I bet that would put an end to ‘pingdemic’ as thousands delete the app from their phones! And suddenly there would be very few ‘positive cases’!
You’d think having covid was a death sentence the way people bang on about it.
A lot of the sheeple seem to genuniely think it is (despite everybody they know who’s had it just feeling a bit crap for a few days – doublethink in action!)
I’m not going to claim that I had any greater insight into how things would pan out than the next person but right at the start when they called for a lockdown I thought it was the dumbest thing I’d ever heard. Who in their right mind thinks that it’s a good idea to stop the world for anything?
Right at the start there was perhaps some argument for caution, but it quickly became clear that this wasn’t an extinction level event that people were fearing. Something that should have ended quickly just kept going, on and on and on.
The projections from Ferguson/Imperial weren’t even looking likely for the whole world let alone the UK. The more I looked at the real world data the more convinced I was that everything was being blown way out of proportion.
The measures taken were over the top and unnecessary. Then we had places like Sweden showing that lesser measures were just as effective but the “we can be zero” idiots were shouting so loud that no sensible comparisons with Sweden could or were allowed to be made.
The people who say Sweden can only be compared to her neighbouring countries are the same type of people who will only ever pick the best performing fund managers from last year rather than ones who’ve shown consistent performance over a longer period of time. When I was growing up these people were called “Glory Hunters”, if you asked them what football team they supported it would always be the one who’d just won the league.
Two years on and we’re still not allowed to compare with Sweden. The people in that part of the world (including Norway and Denmark) are pretty much going about life as normal while we’re still licking our wounds and people are still dying as a result of the actions taken.
I concur, I never for a second thought lockdown was justified, I watched it slowly gearing up from China back in Jan 2020. I said two things to myself,
Always go with your gut instinct.
Around….5% of us could SEE, from the very start. It’s been very hard, being able to see, when most of the population have had the magic dust sprinkled in their eyes. I often think life would have been easier if I’d been a true believer, wittering on about how lockdown had helped me restructure my life, etc etc, blah.
Yep, ever noticed how really stupid people are always so happy with life?
Chicken Joe’s Hot Tub
I’ll remind you of another little story.
From week 1 of initial lockdown when an ‘extinction level event’ (thank you Nobody2021 above) might have been around the corner I was out and about as a key worker.
I’d find myself driving on a long straight main road with no other traffic at all except in the distance would be an ambulance coming towards me.
Why did it have its siren wailing ? Nobody needed to be aware of its presence or be urged to move out of the way. Did it turn towards the nearby Covid Central main hospital? No it went sailing not very fast towards the city centre.
I would see this ‘some’ times each day.
Because lockdown, toilet facilities were few and far between, the hospital being one, no ambulances at the main entrance, nor at that entrance which led to what was now the Covid ward, not at A&E nor maternity.
After a couple of days I concluded that they were simply cruising around, twos&blues on, just to enhance the state of fear that the government and SAGE had encouraged the MSM to create within the 99% compliantly locked down population. So yes, Bullshit.
Turns out that they were doing this in local towns as well. An ambulance would turn up, drive around for a bit with its siren on then move to the next town just like an ice cream van.
Other reports here at lockdownsceptics confirmed it was happening elsewhere in the country too.
Indeed. Definitely happened in Oldham. I am not entirely sure it has wholly ceased.
Everyone in Finland still wearing face masks in the shops and most eagerly awaiting their 3rd ‘booster’. They know the Siberian lead mines are only too close if they dare to disagree with the politicians!
Who in their right mind thinks that it’s a good idea to stop the world for anything?
As someone who can read a balance sheet, I understood immediately that the world cannot be restarted thereafter so easily and without Catastrophic damages incurred.
But that was beyond 99% of peoples, above all politicians and doctors, intelligence.
Somebody has got a proposal for that, it’s called “ze ggreat rezet”
I thought the economy could survive a couple of weeks free holiday while they ‘flattened the curve’, anything more would clearly be disastrous.
As it all went on and on my problem was in seeing what was in it for the government. Now I think we know.
Same thought train as you. Sweden, twice the population of Scotland, but similar population densities…mostly in lowland cities. Sweden very few excess deaths over the year ( they’ve been vaxing too, so this should be considered before saying the excess is caused by it )
Swedish cities similar latitude to Scottish cities. C19 outcomes last year almost identical, but one has a wee nazi in charge, the other doesn’t.
[Sweden’s been] vaxing too, so this should be considered before saying the excess is caused by it.
Ah but are all “vaccines” equal in terms of capacity to kill the recipient? AZ seems to be the most lethal in the short term. And then there’s the issue of vaccine batch. Recent analysis of the VAERS data suggests that the vaccine lot/batch is a very significant factor when it comes to vaccine deaths, especially from the Pfizer shots. Perhaps Scotland has been a testing ground?
I’m not sure, but if they really have evidence of dodgy batches, then it should mean an immediate halt, until the batches can be identified.
EXCLUSIVE – 100% of Covid-19 Vaccine Deaths were caused by just 5% of the batches produced according to official Government data.
https://theexpose.uk/2021/10/31/100-percent-of-covid-19-vaccine-deaths-caused-by-just-5-percent-of-the-batches-produced/
I’m sure you are right, Nobody.
It was quite obvious from the Diamond Princess ‘test tube experiment’ that the grossly exaggerated Lockdown policies enthusiastically promoted by Xi Jinping and obediently adopted by our own Great Helmsman and his alleged ‘opposition’ that this would be a monumental screwup.
The fact that Neil Pantsdown Ferguson was hand picked to be annointed as The Science, notwithstanding his proud history as an incompetent, shroud waving, computer modelling twat, further confirms that this was not just the normal HMG ineptitude.
We all could add other examples…
I agree with you. I never believed it, even from the start. When I saw those films of people apparently keeling over in the street in China, it just didn’t seem real to me. It seemed staged – which I think it was!
I didn’t mind the first 3 weeks so much, but I honestly expected that afterwards it would be “as you were, everyone”. When that didn’t happen, my suspicions were raised. Things just did not seem to fit together. There was something just off about it all.
The key moment for me, when I didn’t just think, but knew it was all bullshit, was when the Government brought in mask wearing, and said you could make a suitable mask out of an old T-shirt. Helpfully, they even provided instructions on a website to help you do this. The most dangerous plague in history, so we were told, but it can be held at bay by a mask made from an old T-shirt?
What I still don’t understand is why people like me thought it was all rubbish from the start (or almost the start), while millions of others were terrified to death by the relentless propaganda being pumped out. And why they still cannot see that it is propaganda. And why those who took the jab to “get our freedoms back” still haven’t realised that our freedom wasn’t something to be taken away by the political class, and that once you are on the jab treadmill, it’s going to be hard to get off it. Third jab, fourth jab, where does it end? Where does any of it end?
The only way to end it is to stop complying. Don’t take any more tests, don’t wear a mask, don’t have any more jabs, and boycott any place that brings in a vaxpass.
Exactly.
After the first couple of weeks I remember having discussions with members of the family – anti socially distanced of course –
– and each strand of argument ended with:
“it doesn’t make sense.”
That was when I realised we were being lied to and I became an ardent sceptic.
The Establishment despises the fact that Sweden can serve as a “placebo” study.
and they vilify and oppress the uninjected (i.e., unvaccinated) control groups in each of their fiefs (i.e., countries presumed to be democracies respecting individual rights)
This is what we’re up against! Pfizer Chiefs like lambs to the slaughterhouse.
That twat should be hunted down and…. given a good talking to!
it’s not rockNroll and i hate it.
Yes, I remember that.
That thick bunch of utter twats are in for a rude awakenings day so are the dozy fans.

The excess deaths in Eng&Wales in the last 4 months are about 20,000. Last year the equivalent figure was nil.
No excess deaths in Wales (for going on for a year) according to Euromomo.
If you look at the latest ONS weekly chart
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales
Total deaths in Wales have been notably above the 5 year average for several months now, you would need a statistician to do the age adjustment and significance tests but the numbers alone look stark and much in line with England.
Thank you contributor. This is a thorough analysis presented using our existing democratic channels and logged as a matter of public record. Keep up the good work.
I thought this was a very interesting article, relating excess deaths to location, age-group and ‘time’ – something that I have not seen before. There is a wealth of evidence here that excess death could be related to the vax rollout
The massive spike in the number of hospital admissions (comparing 2020 to 2021 from the same periods) is also striking.

“My conclusion is that whatever the true explanation for the phenomenon, it is rooted in the misguided and disastrous public health policies of the Scottish Government.”
Just that!!!
Prof. Ennos next time you are in Glasgow, I will happily buy you a drink. Cheers.
When I gave evidence to the Scottish Petitions committee about conflicts on the JCVI (2005-6) they expressed concern but swiftly pussy-footed away. I saw the same committee shred their minister of health and CMO over thyroid medication – merciless quite beyond anything you could imagine (much nastier than I would have been). They certainly were not frightened of those persons but when it came to vaccines they sure as hell were frightened of something.

Should be 2015-16
On the priority placed on vaccines, I still think the full-court press to make (or try to make) everyone get “their flu shots” was a precursor that shows their true colors.
There’s been no push-back against the flu vaccines (or the efficacy or necessity of same) … so the powers that be KNEW they could run the same type marketing program with COVID vaccines.
Said differently, if the press HAD questioned the flu vaccine propaganda/initiative, maybe more people would question the COVID vaccine push.
I think for several decades it has been impossible to question the supreme achievement of vaccine science without being systematically pilloried and this has always been the triumph of propaganda. No one can have intelligent conversation about this without being gaslighted and this is incredibly dangerous

I think what happened is the establishment basically said, “Well, the polio vaccines (or other childhood vaccines) worked spectacularly well …. so all the other “vaccines” work just as well.” This is obviously not true. The flu vaccines do not work at all in many years and the COVID vaccine is certainly not preventing infection and spread. But because we accept the polio vaccine (and, for some inexplicable reason the flu vaccine) we must accept the COVID vaccine. All vaccines are not created equal. Nor does at least half of the world even need the COVID vaccine as they face no real health risks from this virus.
Bravo,what a devastating letter.
Wrll, it should be devastating, but it won’t be, because the Scottish media is completely under the control of The Regime.
It is possibly a question in the words of Sir Walter Scott:
’O what a tangled we weave,
When we practice to deceive’
I guess these liars can never really smooth it over except to get MSM to tell even bigger lies to non-enquiring minds.
This is a brilliant analysis/rebuttal. The author’s text and the graphs he included constitute important information the public needs to see. Thanks to The Daily Skeptic for publishing this. I hope this article is saved and highlighted in the archives. Bottom line: The response to COVID has dramatically increased the number of deaths in Scotland. Public health is far WORSE. The writer is far more intelligent than the public health officials.
“The writer is far more intelligent than the public health officials.” Far more honest.
I really do not know how anyone can look at the upward tracking of deaths plotted against vaccine campaign inceptions, and not see the most obvious correlation. And when that correlation is spotted in every country for which the data is available, I’m not going to accept the smug “correlation is not causation” whine from NPCs.
It is amazing how many fairy tales and children’s tales are being enacted for real with this covid hoo-haa. This is the ‘Emperors new clothes’ happening for real. Surely somebody somewhere in the Public Health sector will crack and blow the whistle on all this?
Many people have blown whistles but no amount of truth makes the difference so far.
Perhaps the use of vaccines as a means of introducing internal passports and tracking technology has been planned for many years? In which case the population cannot be allowed to question the safety of vaccines.
“ Surely somebody somewhere in the Public Health sector will crack and blow the whistle on all this?” Well, usually when a “conspiracy” is exposed, there are powerful forces somewhere who are ready to take up the case – the media, or the political opposition. In the case of covid, almost every powerful institution on the planet is up to their necks in this, so none of them have any incentive to be receptive to a whistleblower.
Let’s assume that those 45% of deaths cause by covid are actual excess deaths. Even then, that means that 55% of excess deaths were caused, in one way or another, by government action. More than half of the excess deaths are a result of government policy aimed at stopping the other 45%. Does that not ring alarm bells everywhere?
The author performed another public service. He got a public health official to respond in writing. This places on the record the thinking of these people and organizations … which, in turn, allows this author to rebut said thinking.
Soon I’m sure no official will respond to any skeptics as they increasingly realize their words can and will be used against them.
Bravo Professor, encore if you please.
Well, a new publication in the world’s most respected science journal may be able to change the conversation. It has revealed “consistent pathophysiological alterations after vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines”. This should front and centre of any public discussion of these kill shots. It may even coax a few more timid scientists to come out & join the brave ranks of Dolores Cahill, Sucharit Bhakdi, Mike Yeadon, etc.
Game-changer: study in “Nature” reveals “consistent pathophysiological alterations” after Covid vaccination
Well, the mRNA biologics are an entirely new technology. Anything could happen.
Exactly. And that is only considering the RNA component. It says nothing of all of the other crap that has been discovered in these things, including potentially self-assembling nano-tech composed of graphene oxide. Even without that, the [openly declared] polyethylene glycol in the lipid nanoparticles is enough to cause serious allergic reactions.
Only yesterday I met someone whose colleague had had an allergic reaction to the jab because of “a food colouring” in it (she must have meant the polyethylene glycol ingredient). She herself despite being double jabbed was unfazed by this, the attitude was that this was just a bit of bad luck.
Yeah, i think that for many people denial is an easier option that admitting they’ve made a mistake. The ostrich phenomenon, too. Who wants to contemplate what this may actually be doing inside their body?
As we on here know.
I never assume what people know or don’t know. This Nature paper was only published the other day. I don’t know if The Daily Sceptic covered it, but i thought it was worth posting an article anyway. What probably will be news to most is that yesterday Pablo Campra Madrid published his final report on the vials containing graphene oxide. We waited six months for this (the previous report was only proovisional) and he confirms that graphene oxide is present in all the vials he personally tested.
So far, the report only exists in Spanish, but here it is:

**The BIG Winter Questionnaire:**Our most important update this month is the BIG Winter questionnaire (I know it is summer for some of you, but we can’t please everyone), which will run data from the beginning of October 2021 to the end of March 2022. This is our first winter where large quantities of the population are double, triple, quadruple (I loose count) jabbed and this is going to be our first opportunity to extract some really good statistics to show if we really are doing better, in terms of health, than our vaccinated peers.
It is vitally important that we have large numbers of participants from every continent so that we can see what correlation and trends exist.
We ask that you fill this in every month, for information from the previous month – so please look out for the flashing Red Update Required links on your profile page when you login to our website, this will enable you will be enter information for all of October.
From now on we will be sending out an email to you every month – as we know how easy it is to forget, but this is REALLY IMPORTANT, so please try to complete it as fully as you can every single month.
The Formal Study:
It’s been over a month since we emailed you about registering as an official study. Your feedback was very positive and we are currently working with a well-respected organisation who are helping us to formalise part of our study. This will take time and a large amount of money.
We can’t say more at this point because of confidentiality but we will update you when we are able to. However, for a detailed poll result, please click the Associates tab when logged into our website.
The Questions Everyone Asks:
Our most frequently asked questions are, “Does your ID card guarantee that I can travel worldwide and access restaurants etc.? And, “Is it recognised in my country?”
Let’s be clear our ID Card is not a magic free pass, it is however, proof that you belong to a vaccine control group and demonstrates your contribution to protecting our societies by providing your health data so that we can ensure evidence is obtained to assess the success and/or failures of this tyrannical attack on all our freedoms.
We believe this is why we are seeing so many success stories from people using our ID Cards, because it clearly shows rather than being a radical lunatic as the media portrays, you are intelligent and serious about looking after your health and are taking positive action to see science remains objective during this crazy time.
If someone challenges your SARS-Cov-2 status, they can scan the QR code on your card, which will take them to a verification page, proving your participation, and reminding them that it is illegal for them to discriminate against you based on your medical choices. We have now updated this verification page in response to many of your requests, to include the flags of countries where we have participants and extracts of human rights law, including a copy of the Nuremburg Code.
If you ARE discriminated against, please remember to log that on your record, this information will become more important in due course and we hope to look at ways we can work to legally and morally challenge any discrimination.
New ID Card Languages:
Coming soon ID cards in Finnish, Vietnamese and Bulgarian, these will be online shortly, with other languages to follow
We have now supplied many letters for employers confirming individual’s participation in our study and are pleased to report that this has helped secure a growing quantity of jobs for members of our community. As a result we will soon be adding a downloadable employer letter within our website which will be available for all our Associates.
Recognising that email addresses can be hacked or discontinued, or that a work email is no longer secure, we will be adding the facility for you to change/update your email address in the coming weeks.

This link for the control study you post has been posted on here before and some members advised against joining in it as it could be a potential trap for the unwary – a way to record the unvaccinated and make it easier to hunt them down if they are to be segregated which we now know looks to be planned
Do you know anything more about it than you have posted here? Does it have legitimacy as in, is it recognised by state governments?

The ongoing COVID-19 nonsense here in the United States exists solely and exclusively because our governments have failed to use the correct treatment. They used so-called “vaccines” when Japan has just proven, in less than ONE MONTH, that Ivermectin can wipe out the disease. IVM was awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 2015.

Take a good look at the picture of Sturgeon ‘being jabbed’:
1) Look at the nurse’s arm positions, indicating that Sturgeon is about to be jabbed.
2) look at the nurse’s thumb, indicating that she is about to apply a jab.
3) have a good look at the syringe… it’s a fake one, those used in films, it has nothing inside it; some have a liquid inside which when applied, the liquid goes to the inside of the syringe… and others are just empty, which is the case with Sturgeon’s ‘vaccine’.
This is what many presidents, prime ministers, politicians, celebrities, etc have been doing – pretending to have the jab.

Something Really Strange Is Happening At Hospitals All Over America
November 4, 2021 Michael Snyder, The Most Important News Waking Times Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. The following comes from an article entitled “ERs Are Swamped With Seriously Ill Patients, Although Many Don’t Have Covid”…
AND Simple Answer:
UKHSA report shows the Covid-19 Vaccines have an average real world effectiveness of MINUS 73% By The Exposé on November 5, 2021
Fully Vaccinated will develop Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome by Christmas By The Exposé on October 27, 2021 Projections therefore suggest that 40-79 year-olds will have zero Covid / Viral defence at best, or a form of vaccine mediated acquired immunodeficiency syndrome at worst, by Christmas and all double vaccinated people over 30 will have completely lost that part of their immune system which deals with Covid-19 within the next 13 weeks.
The falling efficacy of the vaccines does not asymptotically approach zero (which would mean that vaccines merely lose effectiveness over time). It goes straight through zero and then goes dangerously negative (which means the vaccines become toxic to the immune system). Then it becomes increasingly negative in a linear manner week on week. If this continues then the vaccines will completely destroy the part of your immune system which deals with Covid by the end of January.
This may well result in more cases of Shingles, HPV, Herpes, Epstein Barr, Endometriosis and other viral infections – https://www.nbc12.com/2021/10/15/reports-shingles-outbreaks-not-directly-linked-covid-19-vaccine/
The vaccine booster shots have to be the same as the vaccines themselves, because it takes forever to do clinical trials and get approval for something different. “So if you take a booster shot, these figures show that you are giving yourself an even faster progressive form of AIDS (after an initial few months of effectiveness)”. The risk benefit analysis for these vaccines has now become a risk detriment analysis for everyone over 30.
That means the vaccine have not merely lost their efficiency. They have not merely stopped working. They are still very much working. But they are working against your immune system rather than for it. They are suppressing your immune response. They are damaging your immune system. They are causing it to become worse than if you had not taken the vaccine. They are toxic to your immune system. They are not merely ineffective. They are negatively effective.
The inescapable immunological conclusion from this data is that the case rate being higher in the vaccinated means that the immune system is lower in the vaccinated.
This suggests that the vaccines are damaging the immune response, which in turn suggests that the vaccines are damaging the immune system, therefore making the immune system deficient.
This suggests that the vaccines are giving people vaccine mediated immune deficiency, which therefore suggests the vaccines are giving people a form of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome).
What is so remarkable is the speed and the consistency of the immunological degradation.
So if you are 40 years old and double vaccinated then your immune response is now degraded by 55.4%. This means that unvaccinated 40 year olds are 55.4% less likely to catch Covid than the doubly vaccinated. Whilst double vaccinated 40 year olds are 124% more likely to catch Covid than the unvaccinated.
You can look at it either way. It just depends whether your chosen parameter is the doubly vaccinated or the unvaccinated. But whichever one you choose, the outlook this winter for those who have been fully vaccinated with the experimental Covid-19 injections looks terrible.
The Expose
Me: Then think of all of the 28 million kids 5 years old and up in America about to be vaccinated and the possibility that they will all have AIDS related illnesses within 12 months, according to the blurb above, in addition to the adults who have already had the shots – back to question one, top of the page?
Pfizer adds ingredient used to stabilize heart attack victims in vax for kids a
Published on November 3, 2021
Written by presscalifornia.com
Buried on Page 14 in the Pfizer paperwork submitted to the FDA for the Covid vaccine for children is this disturbing nugget.
Vaccine formulation
Authorization is being requested for a modified formulation of the Pfizer‑BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Each dose of this formulation contains 10 μg of a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 that is formulated in lipid particles and supplied as a frozen suspension in multiple dose vials.
To provide a vaccine with an improved stability profile, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for use in children 5-11 years of age uses tromethamine (Tris) buffer instead of the phosphatebuffered saline (PBS) as used in the previous formulation and excludes sodium chloride and potassium chloride. The packaged vials for the new formulation are stored frozen at -90°C to – 60°C. The frozen vials may be thawed and stored at refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C for up to 10 weeks.
Tromethamine (Tris) is a blood acid reducer which is used to stabilize people with heart attacks.
Here are known side effects:
Respiratory depression, local irritation,
tissue inflammation, injection site infection,
febrile response, chemical phlebitis,
venospasm (vein spasms), hypervolemia,
IV thrombosis, extravasation (with possible necrosis and sloughing of tissues),
transient decreases in blood glucose concentrations, hypoglycemia,
and hepatocellular necrosis with infusion via low-lying umbilical venous catheters.

Principia Scientific
Pfizer has changed the formulation of its Covid-19 Vaccine for Children to include an ingredient that stabilises people suffering a Heart Attack?
By The Exposé on November 1, 2021
A document prepared for the FDA Advisory Committee meeting, in which members voted seventeen to zero in favour of giving emergency use authorisation for the administration of the Pfizer Covid-19 injection to children aged 5 to 11, confirms that Pfizer have modified the formulation of their injection for children to include an ingredient that reduces the acidity of blood and is used to stabilise people who have suffered a heart attack.
Source – Page 14
By Patricia Harrity
The FDA Briefing Document titled ‘EUA amendment request for Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for use in children 5 though 11 years of age‘ states the following on page 14 –
“Authorization is being requested for a modified formulation of the Pfizer‑BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Each dose of this formulation contains 10 μg of a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 that is formulated in lipid particles and supplied as a frozen suspension in multiple dose vials.”
“To provide a vaccine with an improved stability profile, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for use in children 5-11 years of age uses tromethamine (Tris) buffer instead of the phosphatebuffered saline (PBS) as used in the previous formulation and excludes sodium chloride and potassium chloride”.
EMERGENCY USE GRANTED
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted emergency use authorization (EUA) to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for children aged between 5 to 11 years old on October 29th 2021. The authorisation was based on what the FDA believes was their “thorough and transparent evaluation of the data” which included input from independent advisory committee experts, and the vote was overwhelmingly in favour of making the vaccine available to all children in this age group.
However, with overwhelming evidence against the safety of the vaccine and now a change in the formula used in clinical trials EUA should never have been granted.
THE 90% EFFECTIVE CLAIM IS MEANINGLESS
The Pfizer risk and benefit analysis presented to the FDA for EUA approval, states that resulting from their clinical trials they have found the COVID-19 vaccine to be 90.7% effective at preventing symptomatic disease in children ages five to 11. The UKs Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) have said that the evidence strongly indicates that almost all children and young people are at very low risk from COVID-19.
Where symptoms are seen in children and young people, they are “typically mild, and little different from other mild respiratory viral infections which circulate each year”. Children also recover from these infections quickly and according to many studies develop a robust broad spectrum immunity.
The rates in 5 to 11 are so low that there were no “cases” of severe COVID-19 or death from either the treatment (n= 1,518) or control group (n= 750), this renders the “90% effective” claim, meaningless. This should have stopped an EUA application in its tracks, as clearly there is no emergency for this age group in particular and therefore no benefit either.
TRIALS WERE TOO SMALL
Additionally, Pfizer admit that the number of participants in the current clinical development program is too small to detect any potential risks of myocarditis associated with vaccination or long-term safety of COVID-19 vaccine in participants 5 to 11 years old.
The FDA had addressed this earlier in the year and asked Pfizer to expand the clinical trials, nevertheless, this had not happened., Pfizer just ignored them and instead “fudged it by importing data from a different study” according to experienced risk and benefit analyser Toby Rogers PHD.
In his article, “Ten red flags in the FDA risk benefit” Toby Rogers simplified, “if the rate of particular adverse outcome in kids as a result of the vaccine is 1 in 5,000 and the trial only enrols 1,518 in the treatment group then it is unlikely to spot this particular harm in the clinical trial”.
POLUTTED DATA
The study that was added “polluted data rather than clarified outcomes” as participants from cohort 1, which was 95.1% of the trial had safety follow-ups up to 2 months after Dose 2 and cohort 2 were only monitored for adverse events for a mere 17 days at the time of the September 6, 2021 data cut-off.”
According to Dr Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA technology, the harms of myocarditis from these vaccines will likely unfold over the course of years the risks of “adverse events such as cardiomyopathy will be cumulative.” They will likely have to be repeated twice for each school year, at approx. six-month intervals.
For minimal if any direct clinical benefit to the child and will not prevent infection”.
This guy is a good guy.
A root of all of what is going on starts in Scotland. That is what the rUK doesn’t yet grasp. Scotland is essentially the control group for continuing measures and first place for new ones.
PHS has worse record keeping and less available data than that of the ol’ PHE. More people should barrage PHS with much scorn so we can reverse the decisions made and help the rUK and elsewhere come to their senses.
