Winter deaths are usually running high at this point in January, but this year is different. According to the latest figures from the ONS, released today, in the week ending January 14th there were 6.1% fewer deaths than the five-year average in England and Wales (872 fewer deaths). Note that the five-year average the ONS uses doesn’t include 2020, but 2016-19 (which has historically low mortality) and 2021.
In the previous week there were 7.8% fewer deaths than the five-year average (1,036 fewer deaths).
A reflection of the mildness of Omicron and the level of immunity in the population, this makes 2021-22 a mild flu season, and further underlines how unjustified any measures to combat coronavirus now are. The state of emergency and all laws and guidance – including the vaccine mandates – must be removed without delay so that healthy normality can be restored.
This article has been corrected for a mistake in the information about which years are included in the ONS five-year average.

Recommend you read up on the activity of the liberating Red Army whilst defeating the German armed forces from late 1943 onwards – I think it is called “payback”.
Close to the bone.
I’m not at home so don’t have the file to hand but one of Germany’s still existing agri-chemical giants (IG Farben?) built what was supposed to be the worlds largest synthetic rubber plant parallel to one of the major work/death camps using the inmates as slave labour.
That plant didn’t produce a single kilo of synthetic rubber because what it was producing was heavy water for nuclear power.
Fortunately another of the nazis resource hungry experimental super weapons that never got anywhere.
Germany appears to have totally lost he plot and is going for the “Full Nazi! with added Attack Dogs and all the trimmings ”
Something in those old “its in genes” theories after all?

“Karl Lauterbach became a household name in Germany during the pandemic by using Twitter and television appearances to urge fast implementation of novel ideas to fight the coronavirus.”
Not quite as much as that aptly named Gunner bloke in Northern, Territories, Oz. He’s even got the mannerisms – but not the moustache.
Only a matter of time before the Austrians and Germans deal with ‘the unvaxxed’ taking up all those hospital beds?

They don’t care about stats, graphs and truth any more… they never did- they will lock down, fine, issue vax mandates, make up stupid rules, sack people, destroy businesses, wreck families, force filthy masks, punish, divide, deprive bully and confuse so discord and in the end set the dogs on you anyway – they have almost abandoned the pretence that this is anything whatever do with a virus from Wuhan – they have covered up the CIA- Fauci -Daszak -Ferguson -Drosten – Wuhan connection anyway.
This is the embryonic Globalist, Fascist, Biological Warfare, Technocratic Total Human Lockdown Tyranny – whatever you want to call it – co-ordinated by the amoral Über-rich and the Central Banks , moving forward one step at a time.
The NHSS is no longer has a Universal Health Care function at its dark heart. Its bloated Managerial Class are quite happy so send their workforce to the wall for Gates and Big Pharma!

Just think… we handed them our democracy on a plate when our MPs gave Johnson his all embracing ” Emergency Powers” – they will now stay in place forever, just as they did in Germany, where they were used to usher in the Third Reich!
In any War, Dictatorship or Coup, truth is the first casualty and control of the Media is always the first objective -in this the BBC and Comcast SKY have co-operated fulsomely. .
So what you’re saying is deaths are up 2% on the week? 😉
I’m not sure why you would think that. It’s possible that it’s true but a bit unlikely.
Remember just a few months ago we were being primed for 60,000 flu deaths on top of Covid devastation, plus a virus that few had heard of (more fear porn), RSV (which most of us had when we were infants, so won’t catch again).
That never materialized, not at all.
A retired doctor I know who has spent months ‘vaccinating’ people with the Covid shots told me that the promotion of the flu vaccine last year was to get people into the clinic for their flu shot in one arm, ‘and while you’re here, let’s do the other arm with the Covid booster to save the trouble of making another appointment. There – all done!’
Of course there was zero safety testing to see what happens when you inject people with the covid vax at the same time as the flu vax.
The vast majority of Doctors don’t give a s##t just as long as they get their fee.
The really fun part is that the flu vaccines don’t even do any good they just cause harm.

BOGOF
You sound disappointed that Flu levels are low.
In actual fact that’s why mortality is down.
Seems like a good deal to me.
Deaths trending 6% below average.
Well that wasn’t the plan, the globalist will be asking some tough questions of their scientists.
Still, I’m sure they have something held back in reserve.
It’s like when everyone at work was telling me it was a Chinese Bioweapon to destroy the West. I said, well, it’s the most useless Bioweapon in the history of Bio and Weapon. Obviously, I was met with silence. I think they still don’t get it.
Covid is not the bio weapon, it’s the vax that’s the bio weapon. Apart from the devastation it has caused in the short term, possibly not part of the plan, the medium to long term damage especially to the immune system is not known. Those taken it may look forward to increased risk of cancer, autoimmune disease, heart issues and strokes. This ain’t over, not by a long shot I’m sorry to say.
Exactly!
If “destroy the West” means deal a huge blow to economy, throw the countries in extreme unnecessary debt and eliminate freedoms, making people forget the very concept of democracy and prime them for implementation of future Chinese-style politics, I’d say they have very much succeeded.
This is true. And if this is the overall picture then the Chinese effort has been with the eager support of the rulers of the West.
My friend in Slovakia has just messaged me to say there are 130,000 Russian soldiers on the borders of Ukraine and now Ukrainians are running into Slovakia.
“Ukraine situation extremely serious, gov’t prepares for crisis but hopes for diplomatic solution”
spectator.sme.sk/c/22827714/ukraine-situation-extremely-serious-govt-prepares-for-crisis-but-hopes-for-diplomatic-solution.html
“It’s going to be the greatest conflict in Europe since WW2, possibly even greater than that.”
Maybe stating the obvious, but while we are on geopolitics: little would please the Chinese rulers more than a major war between the West and Russia.
I don’t think it is a Bioweapon, but actually I think the original covid strains would be pretty good at the job – weapons don’t have to be fatal. As we’ve seen, panic, the threat of overwhelmed health and social care, economic collapse or near-collapse, the breakdown of societal norms – all managed without releasing Anthrax or Ebola. Of course Omicron is still certainly causing economic disruption but not enough to bring down society without lots of help from the most incompetent politicians – i.e. even worse than Johnson and Sunak
It’s not the virus….it’s the vax!
Ummmm..how can we make EVEN more money says Pharma CEO; “I know” lets create a “New” viral syndrome – we gonna call it “Doooomsday” to make it real scary but really its just the ‘flu – just like we did with CFS/TAT and, deadeasy, lets develop the “cure” at the same time. We get some dumb fool to do the development, con the (US) taxpayer to fund it under the guise of saving humanity, and rope in a “willing” partner to do the nitty gritty final development in. case it is a bit too iffy to be done ” on our doorstep”.
We get the “cure” patented, and I know lets get the Health Quango boss to share the patent rights to get it approved – lets cover our arses by getting some charitable foundation flunky to put some cash in – I know a couple of people in that field – we may have to give them a share …. Doooomsday hits , and we roll out the fix from warehouses across the globe – we the saviours of mankind, win win – just like printing greenbacks!!!!.
Whats that, lab doing nitty gritty has had a leak – I don’t believe it, we aren’t ready with miracle cure!!!!! Quick, get in touch with dodgy Health Quango CEO, tell him that unless he gives us immunity we spill the beans on his involvement – also tell him we dont want it approved as we will be sued for trillions if it goes TU ( trials done on one man and a dog, results not great but we bury all of that ftb, along with the dog!!! – folks who did the trial fully onboard btw) – we only want it used in an emergency – also tell him it is not the final article, we are years away from the final version, but the leak is serious FFS, just had an email from Health Quango CEO, he just found out that they cocked up the bits they got from a bat and a rat in some hick town in China which they used for Doooomsday and it is now a killer spreading like a hot knife through soft butter – we have to go with what we have; there will be casualties ( war is hell) so other things have to be done to stop the spread – ask him if he has any ideas, better still if he has any dirt on “his friends” who can help, tell him to make the calls and make them offers they cannot refuse – it ain’t nothing personal, just business.
And remember, has to be for emergency use to save our asses, so anything else Health quango was gonna recommend has to be binned – we will need some special help with that..I know some folks across the pond and in the Far East if he’s struggling.
Pure fantasy…..
Trending????
2 weeks of data that diverges from 2 years of data doesn’t constitute a trend.
If you essentially shut down healthcare for 2 years like we have done, you would expect some excess mortality resulting from that action alone. But the “good” news is that this sort of “rescue” causes everyone who was on the verge of dying to die sooner. So we can expect much lower mortality going forward.
Don’t you worry – those jab “side effects” should get the “deaths” up for you in a few weeks!
Twat
The key question is how many are getting the message that we have recognised for 18 months?
Some are clearly beyond help.
Some interesting figures circulating:
Gates said that a 15% reduction in World Population was desirable ( around one billion people!)
A 15 % reduction of UK population is around 10.2 million. How many are expected to succumb to the effects of the injections in the short/medium term I wonder? We have 8 years until the magic Davos target of 2030 fo the first Schwabians “Transhumans” – does that classify as “long term”?
US ‘predictions’ about the number that might die in a ‘bioweapon’ assault on the US are around 30 million
Yes – just checked the ONS figures myself – this is heartening news.
Particularly so as I was anticipating a huge wage of ADE-related illness/death.
Given that ADE is a real prospect – does this not mean that Omicron has gone?
Usually, the first 2-3 weeks of January see the highest level of all-cause mortality of the year.
The ONS numbers cover up what is going on. At this time of year normally there are still many flu deaths, but omicron is still the dominant virus keeping flu minimal. Omicron is very mild so less deadly to ‘old men’ than flu. So the reduction of ‘only’ 6% may hide increases elsewhere, such as ADE-related.
ADE is not an issue at present.
How do we know?
Speaking of ONS figures: total deaths from Covid rather than with in England & Wales Feb ‘ 20 to Dec ‘21= 6183.
Oh what a nasty pandemic that was, not!
https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/covid19deathsandautopsiesfeb2020todec2021
Flu hasn’t surged this year.
It didn’t even exist last year apparently
As a clinician in Primary Care I can click on an icon to check on our local DGH figures. The webpage has since April 2020 said alert level ” acute ” and I imagine it will for years to come . The situation was ” acute ” even in the summer of 2020 when there were zero Covid in patients.
I noted yesterday that the number of Covid positive patients in the DGH had halved in 3 days . A miracle had happened !
It has coincided with the start of a scheme to get the ” bed blockers ” out . You may be aware that care home places and carers are scarce due to the Covid Vaccination mandate. Many of these patients who have been in the DGH for weeks and months have been moved into temporary accommodation with a nurse in the guest house reception for urgent needs. Their PCR + test might have been 6 weeks ago and so for statistics they were a Covid patient.
As to my daily work I receive daily tens of reports of pCR + Covid tests from my patient list .They get a text offering them a oxygen sats monitor ( deposit £ 20 ). and that is all . From staff reports the Omicron variant is similar to a cold.
DGH ?
DGH? I think District General Hospital.
I was thinking Deceptive Grooming Honour.
Thank you, made much more sense knowing that.
“Bed blockers” is an exterminationist term – it says a lot about the British “health” service that it’s in such wide use among “heroic professionals” – and it requires a bit more than a pair of scare quotes.
The BBC Coronavirus page is still featuring a story “NHS in push to vaccinate the final four million”. A lot of people are going to have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, away from their comfort blankets.
I think they missed the 20 in front of the four.
From Clare Craig, 4 million not had 2nd jab yet (by this time virtually all will now be refuseniks), 20 million not had booster – so a fair few million from that lot.
That is in addition to the figure of 5.9 million never jabbed, from a couple of weeks ago.
Also I recently read a figure of I think 21.5 million unjabbed.
They are lying again by deliberately reporting the figure of refuseniks to be much lower.
Quick, better hurry and get your jab – don’t be the last person in the UK to have one.
Should you ever worry you might be the last – I can assure you, you won’t be.
nudge unit again. Apparently it no longer matters if politicians / public servants lie, provided it is to serve some higher cause
I think the un-jabbed figure is probably higher than reported . All the stats have been mere propaganda in pursuit of their agenda.
Personally, I don’t believe a single word uttered by this entire lying administration on anything – the tone is set from the top.
BBC – agents of a foreign power.
I’m not sure that this endless obsessing over figures about Convid will have the slightest effect on the chancers, fatheads, liars and crooks represented by the phrase “Her Majesty’s Government”.
They will continue down the road to perdition come what may, just as long as they each receive their thirty pieces of sliver for betraying their nation and its people. They really are disgusting beyond measure and the graphs and statistics are pored over earnestly by souls who are somehow convinced that all is needed is a bit of logic – but are doomed to disappointment.
Not a comment in response to this article but relevant to today…I just heard Dr Steve James on the Jeremy Vine show (not usual channel of choice). He gave his usual calm, rational explanation for his position. What was really noticeable though was that when he made reference to the UKHSA data and the apparent ineffectiveness of the vaccine, Jeremy Vine seemed astonished. He is so practiced at rubbishing any suggestion that vaccines are not magic, but here was someone who he could not dismiss and he didn’t know what to say. Eyes are opening everywhere.
That is encouraging. The Emperor has no clothes; It’s quite astonishing. The ‘Omicron’ phenomenon seems to have brought the whole enterprise crashing down. We seem likely to end up in a Soviet style situation where the authorities look like deranged lunatics referring to an event that no one can see in their everyday lives. Pressure to end the state of emergency must now be brought to bear. Only then will it be over.
Ah but if we have learned (or had confirmed) anything over the last 22 months, it is that people love to have nonexistent enemies. Gives them something to blame all their failures on, and it provides a point on which they can focus all their free-floating anxiety (thanks to Matthias Desmet and his education about Mass Formation).
I do wonder the true origin of Omicron. A long timeline with no apparent variant then, bam; I non-lethal variant arrives at the most opportune/non-opportune (depending which side you are on) moment.
Are we in a bio war?
I read somewhere that mice were getting the blame. I suppose that if you’re small, subject to lots of predation and (allegedly) leak urine most of the time, you’ve nothing to lose if you incubate a new virus strain before depositing it on some human’s food.
Have you ever looked up the list of variants observed?
Can you explain the diagram please.
That’s exactly how it feels yes. I believe this is certainly a world war dressed up as a public health emergency.
Generated in the spike protein ridden cells of the vaxxed?
BA2 is even more suspicious.
“A Soviet style situation where the authorities look like deranged lunatics referring to an event that no one can see in their everyday lives.”
We’re already in one.
“Gender is a choice”.
“Equal opportunities”.
“Every child realising their potential”.
We all really, really hope so.
I used to listen to JV almost daily until I stopped driving almost a year ago.
He started off sort of balanced over Covid/lockdown, sometimes allowing himself a sly dig at callers pleading for sympathy because their loved one sadlydied of the Covid.
He would tease it out of them that Grandad had been 86 years old, hadn’t been upstairs for 15 years, smoked like a trooper and was already dying from dementia, COPD and leukaemia.
JV is however a master at feined shock and surprise, almost as though mocking himself. But if anyone could see through that it would be the astonishingly well grounded Dr. Steve James.
At least Dr Steve has become the poster-boy against the government’s increasingly unconvincing pronouncements on ‘the pandemic’. The fact that he’s calm and reasoned about his views must be boiling SAGE’s collective urine.
That Vine is a ‘top’ broadcaster serves to remind me why I listen to and watch so little of UK broadcasting.
It started with dropping the licence fee, since the BBC were offering nothing of interest, then spread to pretty much the rest of it. The on-demand bits were last, only because I fancied another look at some classic stuff from years ago.
It’s actually quite refreshing not to be deluged in the lazy, derivative and unthinking BS that is delivered over the airwaves nowadays.
Top & Broadcaster – a contradiction in terms?
I was suspecting higher deaths this week because registration of deaths occurring over the New Year holidays might have been pushed into week 2.
If you look at ONS estimates for death occurrences (see attached), that takes into account things such as when bank holidays fall, you can see the strange turnaround in the last few weeks. That may correct itself in the next few weeks when estimates become more solid as most deaths by then will have been registered. But it is increasingly looking like deaths in the oldest ages (that drive overall mortality numbers) are back at ‘normal’ levels because the most vulnerable have passed in recent years.
The low overall deaths seem to be driven by low deaths in the oldest age groups. Deaths still running historically high in the 15-44 and 45-64 age groups for example. But still quite a bit lower than the equivalent weeks in 2021. Covid labelled deaths still very low, so covid the illness has nothing to do with it.
And if you look at my version of the ONS chart above, which differs because it is based on the occurrence estimates, you can again see the sudden strange turnaround at the very far right of the chart.
It also puts the low level of covid labelled deaths into perspective. And that’s before you adjust for the mis-labelling.
The ONS are using a new, different five-year average for comparison with 2022 numbers. It’s the years 2016-19 plus 2021. Using the “old” five year average (2015-19), deaths in week ending 14th Jan were still 3.7% below that average.
Speaking of deaths:
Number of deaths where COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate, 1 February 2020 to 31 December 2021, by sex and age group, England and Wales
total = 6183
Nasty pandemic, er, not!

Same thing just happened to me.
I blame 5G. It’s the targetted pulses to blame.
Perhaps you’ve ploughed up some cables with your tractor.
it’s a conspiracy.
No, it’s not a conspiracy you silly sausage. Whatever will you say next? That Pfizer is a pillar of rectitude? That the so-called ‘vaccines’ have an absolute risk reduction of 95%? That cloth masks are to coronaviruses what plate armour is to a child’s plastic sword?
Bad seasonal influenza will never be over.
Or have I not been keeping up?
It’s Nature’s equivalent of Autumn for humans.
flu hasn’t turned up this year…just like last year.
If only you’d do the same.
I’m astonished at the confidence with which people make those kinds of assertions.
I’d like to see how much flu virus would turn up if it was sought out with the same zeal as SarsCov2
Pity the government isn’t reacting with the same speed and decisiveness to evidence that there is no unusual risk to the population as it did in March of 2020 when to the evidence that there may be an unusual risk.
I’ll reword it a little:
“Pity the government isn’t reacting with the same speed and decisiveness to evidence that there is no unusual risk to the population as it did in March of 2020 when there was evidence that … there was no unusual risk to the population.”
But like now, as ever, governments can’t run around doing nothing with all our money, so they run around doing “something” with all our money.
I did write “may be an unusual risk” which to be fair was as much as we knew in March.
That is regardless of how one feels about lockdowns, which as far as I’m concerned are an abomination regardless of risk or threat.
To be fair Marcus, they are doing “something” with our money – covering the country in cycle lanes and windmills in preparation for the next fake crisis.
In cinema terms, covid was just the Pathe News, the big picture is due to start any minute, hang on to your popcorn!
Couldn’t agree more, Old Bill.
Flu is a bigger killer than Omicron and due to Virus Displacement flu has disappeared and been replaced by Omicron.
Most people now have natural immunity after exposure to Omicron.
Omicron is now endemic and if the next variant has a similar virility it will also be endemic and of no concern.
Omicron doesn’t appear to be from the same family as Delta, Alpha, Wuhan strains etc. and appears manufactured.
The worry is that the next virus may also be a manufactured virus from a bio-weapons lab and it’s deadliness will be determined by the Dr Strangeloves and the Global Elite who decide these things.
The other worry is for the billions around the world who have been jabbed and the health problems they will inevitably face caused by the jabs.
Couldn’t agree more. In case anyone missed it.
Yup, that’s the worry. Or that they will simply use this (very plausible) scenario as a ruse for even more restrictions and perpetual vaccination plans. Either way we are fucked. Sorry.
but all the original and strains are manufactured!
They have a moderna gene patent in them
How to BLAST your way to the truth about the origins of COVID-19
I think it’s obvious that this lower level of death is the result of mandatory mask wearing in supermarkets, primark, schools and on public transport. As a caring and protective society, we should roll out this public health measure everywhere, with upgraded guidelines mandating the use of N95’s, to all indoor and outdoor settings including homes, offices and while eating / drinking.
Would it be OK if we limited it to Primark?
Good one. That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while. Err…you weren’t being serious were you? Surely not?
You omitted ‘sleeping’. When we are at our most vulnerable (according to Hollywood).
You’ve just given us a perfect example of the post hoc ergo proper hoc fallacy.
It was over in May 2020.
For me now, it won’t be a chart that announces the end.
It’ll be truly over when I can travel abroad without pointless restrictions, when mask-wearers are being laughed at, and when not taking untested drugs becomes socially acceptable amongst the masses.
Truth be told, it never really started, to be “over”. The initial surge of deaths of the elderly back in early 2020 coincides very well with introduction of Midazolam in care home settings.
It’s not really over until the Coronavirus Act is repealed, the state of emergency ended, government by diktat is over and Parliamentary Democracy is restored.
It will never be over. Just look at the proposal from EU. From 1st of February everyone will be responsible for their own greenpass compliance. So every country can remove the restrictions but everything will apply on an individual level… Good luck. Greenpass will go away only by riots and blood.
So,.we need masks, social distancing, working from home (if this work generally involves laptops and Zoom meetings), quarterly injections, digital health passports, distance learning for kids FOREVER? That 6% didn’t just happen by itself you know.
All comments deleted – I hope it’s a glitch and not censorship.
It’s a glitch – the moderator said so on another thread.
Back in late spring 2020 when the nature of Covid was yet to be revealed there was a go-to website that examined the output of the ONS, then an uncorrupted source of mountains of hitherto boring and ignored government statistics that it had been churning out week in week out for years on end.
The name Duggan rings a bell but Toby would sometimes link to it if it revealed something interesting. That site regularly produced charts, based on ONS data, which showed 2020 mortality falling within the range of normality for the previous 20 years or so (toward the high end granted) and so not unprecedentedly dangerous as was being presented by the MSM.
Ring anyone elses bells?
Hector Drummond?
Yep, that’s the one, thank you. It came up just a month or so ago, should have remembered.
There’s a complete rundown here of all cause mortality from 1990 to 2020 inclusive, with crude and age-standardised mortality rates along with population size (England and Wales only). No, 2020 wasn’t particularly exceptional overall.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/deathsintheukfrom1990to2020
At the end of todays Roundup there is a request from the author for suggestions of papers/articles to include in future editions. I would have thought that link would be useful.
If it is over – which no doubt it is – then isn’t it time this government now stopped descriminating against the unvaccinated?
I think if they did, they would have to admit that the gene jabs are not working. If they did that, then they allow people to start looking at adverse events. If they open that Pandora’s Box, then they unleash hell. Not going to happen. They will continue with the narrative that we are coming through the crisis because we have jabbed our way out of it.
They are desperate for the boosters to be the saviour from omicron, rather then its mild as feck to everyone regardless. They cannot allow the narrative that the 4th jab is not needed to take root. I expect a rinse and repeat variant later in the year, just as the logical time to start boostering for winter approaches.
Not sure about UK, but in Germany there is more than 400 million jabs already ordered. They can’t just stop. I thought they would be eventually sending all the surplus to Africa to discreetly flush them down the toilets there, but there seems to be a different plan.
Firstly, I am not sure the third world would take them. Secondly, if they did actually want them I doubt that the agreements with Pfizer will allow them to be given to countries that haven’t sold their soul to Pfizer.
The Germans are now in ‘Full Nazi Mode’. – very sad to see.
Recent – last week – comment from contact in Germany:
“In Germany, the incidence numbers are currently rising sharply, due to the Omicron variant (in Great Britain, the numbers are going down again, aren’t they?) – the federal government is now advising on compulsory vaccination, as there are relatively many opponents of vaccination exists – (so that herd immunity cannot be achieved), this probably makes sense…but it divides society even more…”
So it appears there is information being disseminated in Germany that “herd immunity” is a consequence of vaccination….not sure how that will work!
It’s not over.
Cold weather is usually the biggest killer and so far we’ve had a fairly mild winter. But try telling that to the Covidians
Time to accept its all over? Other than the normal levels of respiratory disease that were reclassifed as being down to a supposed new virus called ‘covid’, together with thousands of non-respiratory disease deaths that were re-imagined as ‘covid deaths’, there is nothing to get over.
Exactly. I have been reiterating this simple message for 22 months. First, I wasn’t sure. Then after a month or two, I was.
Still no-one is listening, cornubian!

There goes my theory about vacinne injuries bumping up death rates
its complex
1 – 150,000 died a few weeks, months, a couple of years early -we should expect to run under average for a bit
2 – lockdown deaths
3 – vaxx deaths
hard to separate them all
with lockdown we might expect to see lots of ill health rather than deaths – inability to get routine treatment, overconsumption of alcohol, less exercise – which could take years (even decades?) to play out
“The state of emergency and all laws and guidance – including the vaccine mandates – must be removed without delay so that healthy normality can be restored.”
But it, despite all the supporting evidence, in the eyes of those that are running this shit-show in no way agree and after what that WHO twat said yesterday, have no intention of calling this nightmare off. When that is shown to be the case perhaps TDS and specifically TJ will finally come round to the abhorrent truth?
The only thing they need to change at this point is the excuse. Instead of “ongoing pandemic” make it “potential new pandemic”. You can keep most of the restrictions under this new false pretense, and it has the benefit that the “science” is completely unverifiable, similar to the climate apocalypse predictions.
It’s not about health though, is it?
Time to accept it’s over, except for the communist troll calling himself ‘Rational’.
Are 77th brigade operatives Communists?
Yes.
The reason for this is that there’s a technical term for those who approve of communist policy: communists.
“Time to accept it’s over”
You’ll still have to show your ‘Covid papers/Vaxx Pass’ to get out of/back into the country!
Only when that is scrapped entirely can you even start to think it’s over.
I was quoting the article above.
These encouraging stats vindicate without a shadow of doubt the sheer strategic brilliance of our Dear Leader’s covid mitigation measures, the seamless implementation of the fantastic booster roll out campaign, fronted by the great man himself was dare I say it Churchillianesque, playing a pivotal role in the war against this deadly variant. In light of this tremendous progress surely it is now high time we had a national conversation about mandating vaccines for all.
And, in the interests of even-handedness, the probability that most people now wash hands, use gel and think about bodily proximity with strangers more often than previously, thus lowering the odds of flu spreading like it used to.
If anything, one of the few positives likely to come out of this two-year-old shambles.
On the downside, fewer people are likely to trust government messaging and the output of the discredited MSM, so it’s not all sunny uplands.
The govt 2011 pandemic plan recommended that we allow normal life to go on. It said that according to ‘modelling’, closing borders would only slightly slow the rate of spread. (NB I do hope their modellers 10 yrs ago were more competent than Prof. Ferguson of the Phoney Figures.)
If I’ve read correctly, Delta and Omicron are more infectious than flu, and more like measles. So there’s even less case for closing borders. The virus crosses the border anyway.
I don’t think we have any evidence that gels and handwashing make any difference to SARS-2. It was shown that SARS-1 spread via aerosols in 2003; there was a study of deaths in the flats at Amoy Gardens, Hong Kong. To forget or suppress this 2003 study seems incompetent, crooked or possibly both.
Wash hands, use gel and proximity.
WTF are you smoking?
Utter crap.
Make sure you thank vaccination for the low death count.
The so called “unvaccinated” have that gold standard natural immunity without the risk of sudden heart attacks or early death !
Well said; have a star.
The 70-80 year olds should make a pilgrimage to the hospital to thank their vaccinators, all right, but only after all restrictions have been permanently removed for everyone, everywhere.
Why? What makes you think the drugs made a difference?
The evidence.
Remember how quickly delta spiked in India and how rapidly it went down – despite most population not being vaccinated there at that point? That’s the relevant evidence.
The evidence? Such as?
.
Not sure what is more comical, your statement above or that you evidently still think the mRNA drugs which the inventor (Dr Robert Malone) couldn’t get to cause less harm than the disease they were supposed to cure are vaccines.
Don’t forget, adjusted all cause mortality for 2020/21 was well within normal parameters, despite what this rancid administration told you. So we can safely posit that the vax rollout and Midazolam murders polished many more of the aged with comorbidities off in 2021/22 than a normal year! No flu season last year according to “the science” ….So it must have been within 14 day’s post vax and the midazolam murders what done it guv!
The virus ran out of steam after a couple of years just like every other novel virus in history.
The only difference this time is that mankind squandered huge amounts of time and energy (and, sadly, human lives) trying to “control” an essentially uncontrollable thing and developing an unsafe and ineffective virus, instead of just taking sensible precautions to protect the most vulnerable and asking everyone else to keep calm and carry on as per the Great Barrington Declaration.
No. They didn’t try to control the virus. They jumped in with a long prepared agenda to get rna products into use, and to control us.
One word for you….
Flu
The lack of flu could and probably does explain low death statistics for early January.
Get your leader to look at confounding factors.
The lack of flu is because covid has been the dominant respiratory illness over the last couple of years. Now it’s becoming endemic flu will make its fabulous comeback.
For all you people that feels a need to respond rationally to this narcissistic troll.
“Your leader”. I presume you are referring to TY or TDS or whoever wrote the article. They are not my leader. I do not have a leader, and I doubt anyone else that posts here has a “leader” other than God or the equivalent for the religious among us.
Don’t respond rationally to this narcissistic troll.
You’re probably right, but he/she ought to be aware that we’re not a Toby Young cult or something. It seems part of a general trend where all sorts of things are assumed about you because you’re on a particular website or because you agree with someone about one thing that you agree with them about everything. It’s simply silly and unhelpful.
Yeah, if covid replaces flu, and the mortality remains the same, then it logically means we should deal with covid just like we did with flu, doesn’t it?
I will argue with whomever I want.
Ah, your snarky response to my civil suggestion got downvoted – and not by me, I might add.
Perhaps the downvotes reflect the fact that engaging with mentally unstable trolls is very much like feeding pigeons, gulls and squirrels in your neighbourhood. Feeding these just attracts more and more of them, and they’ll be excessively noisy and mess up the local area and destroy the paintwork on vehicles.
The food you scatter around also attracts rats and mice. Then all your neighbour’s are pissed-off with you.
Good afternoon Nutcase,
You might have missed to reply on this thread:
“Good morning Nutcase,
At time of writing “rational” has posted 35 of the 189 comments on this article. That’s a whopping 35 percent of the comments so far on this thread that have been made by a chap that weirdly has chosen the misnomer “rational” as his handle.
This percentage alone points to fairly severe mental illness.
And every one of his comments have been ridiculed, laughed-at and shown to be rubbish and self-contradictory. But this doesn’t deter “rational” in any way, shape or form.
There’s an interesting reason behind “rational’s” burst of inane and attention seeking comments this morning. It’s got to do with the moon, the full moon, that is.
In studies done in prisons and psychiatric hospitals it was found that full moons do actually influence people with mental health issues. All nutters, though, were not only affected on the day of the full moon that lasted for a few days thereabouts. Some had massive personality shifts that began just before the full moon and lasted for days afterwards.
For quite a few, though, the effects of the full moon only kicked in 7 days after the night of the full moon and lasted for a number of days thereafter. The last full moon was on 17 January and it’s now the 25 January.
That’s eight days after a full moon and nutter “rational” is engaged in an inane frenzy on the threads of The Daily Sceptic.
I’d advise “rational” (oxymoron extraordinaire) to tell his psychiatrist about this and they’ll be able to adjust his medication to counteract it. They can raise the potency of his psycho drugs to cover the post full moon periods when he gets like this.
For anyone that thinks debunking “rational’s” strange irrational comments will drive him away, it has the opposite effect. Corresponding and replying to his comments only lead him to believe that he’s actually being listened to. And the sad loon, in his own mentally disturbed way, probably has a great need to be listened to.
It’s like if you were passing someone’s yard and their dog started barking at you. You ignore the dog, if you bark back at him, he’ll only go crazier. By interacting with “rational” you are actually doing him a disservice, you are leading him into ever crazier realms of thought.
So, people, don’t reply to this fu*king mentally disturbed idiot. By doing so, you are only helping to pollute the threads for all other readers and commenters.”
That’s true but, ‘rational’ is like a little dog and I’ve enjoyed throwing him sticks and watching him fetch.
Good point. I feel suitably chastised!
If it’s true that Midazolam was copiously dished out in nursing and care homes in 2020 to artificially raise the death rates in order to blame the increase on SARS‑CoV‑2, it would explain this 6 percent below average death rate in January 2022.
The explanation being that many people that nature had ear-marked to end their earthly existence in January 2022 had all been euthanised with Midazolam in 2020.
Around the start of the plandemic, extraordinarily large amounts of Midazolam was bought by the UK authorities. Midazolam is such a powerful sedative that it is used to assist in judicial executions in the United States.
There’s also evidence that in a clinical trial in the UK to test hydroxychloroquine’s ability to treat SARS‑CoV‑2, that test subjects were given something like three-times the fatal dose of this drug.
It’s claimed that some of the test subjects died as a result of being overdosed with this drug, but were falsely recorded as having died from COVID-19. And which resulted in the clinical trial finding that hydroxychloroquine was a failure in the treatment of COVID-19.
The more crimes that the authorities in the UK and US have to hide, the more likely that both countries will be thrown into an illegal war with Russia.
Dear Mr. Jones.
Do you know what a trend is?
It isn’t 2 samples that diverge from the previous 100.
Here’s a story, with some facts.
I am a golfer, with very limited ability.
Yesterday I hit 100 balls at the driving range.
Most shots were poor to moderate, but my last 2 were truly excellent. No-one could have done better!
Using your methodology, I could be declared world class.
You are a world class idiot, that’s for sure.
Respond rationally to this narcissistic troll?
I wouldn’t say a complete idiot. More a lower-midwit with exceptional levels of delusion.
Being innumerate is the qualification for branch covidianism.
Better spend more of your time on the golf course then, and less time with your fact-free trolling here.
You are not comparing like with like…
Hey flu come back! you left your symptoms behind!
“Note that the five-year average the ONS uses doesn’t include 2020 or 2021, only the historically low-mortality years 2015-19, so this is an extremely low figure indeed.”
Much dodgy inference has been drawn from the five-year average. I didn’t know the years 2015-19 were historically with low mortality, but it figures. Better to use a 10-year or 20-year average, and never to cite it without also citing a statistic for spread. Using 10 or 20 years would also enable more confidence to be had about spread itself and about how unusual any shift is, with unusualness measurable as a z-score.
It is always better to use as much historical data as is available to get the best context possible.
But I thought they said global warming would increase deaths.
That’s for later in the year.😀
“…this makes 2021-22 a mild flu season…”
On what basis is this claim made?
Yes, I think the author is wrong about that. If you look at the figures just published by Cloud6, there has clearly been an uptick of total deaths. Of course, the uptick might be due to extra deaths from untreated illnesses and cancelled operations….
I don’t know why you even bother with this shite. If we accept as a premise that this was largely a manufactured situation then of course the edifice will naturally become more and more shaky as time moves on. Even if we had mass enlightenment tomoorow the evil that they are trying to get away with is for me enough to be the prime purpose of my life. Bullshit here or bullshit there – they have already fucked people up big time. Especially the younger folk and the damage continues. You don’t get away with that sorry fuck heads.
There’s no need for language like yours. I hope you get banned.

I hope this stays.
You have to accept that many people like it, regardless of utility. Some of the characters I see wearing masks outside are positively revelling in it. In order to proffer a commentary on our state of affairs you need to understand the psychology of this country. And for a lot of people for various reasons this is a touchy subject. Trust me when shit gets serious we will not be very concerned about each other’s thoughts.

ONS data for UK death rates, all causes over 5 years. Taking into account age-related deaths and age-related illnesses these figures are not out of kilter (stabilised). Ask yourself why did the World go bloody crazy and destroy so much?

“The party’s over,
It’s time to call it a day,
They’ve burst your pretty balloon,
And taken the moon away.
It’s time to end the masquerade,
Just make your mind up, the piper must be paid”
A song by Peggy Lee. Suitable for many occasions and events since this sh*show started in 2020.
The best way to understand any of this is to imagine a heist and then a cover story and distraction so that they can get away with all the spoils. This isn’t difficult to understand when you look at where the stock market was at in January 2020, Every single step can be traced to an economic motive. All I can say is don’t let the bastards win and don’t be subsverivent to their agenda or timeline. Theirs is a system of death and we can do better than that.
“…this makes 2021-22 a mild flu season…”
What is the basis for this claim? Please provide figures for comparison so that this claim is crystal clear.
Ivermectin help reduce the severity of vaccine adverse reactions. If someone is suffering from a post vaccine syndrome, FLCCC clinicians and a growing network of colleagues have reported significant clinical responses to ivermectin. Because Ivermectin has 5 different mechanisms of action against coronaviruses, the medication is also effective with the different variants of the virus. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Nobody with skin in this game is EVER going to accept it’s ”over”. There are ”social credit passes” to be brought out next and nothing must be allowed to stop that plan. Ursula Wunder Lederhosen has just told us so.
Fit, well, happy and healthy …
And then the gene serums …
It’s not really over until the Coronavirus Act is repealed, the state of emergency ended, government by diktat is over and Parliamentary Democracy is restored.
Careful what you say. They will put it down to the success of vthe jab and restrictions impoosed. Had it not been for all these things we would all be dead by now.
It’s not over. We must hold the line. Covid has never been isolated but the vaccines are indeed doing their job of ruining immune systems of those who have been jabbed. The lull before the storm is now upon us. The Globalists want us to concentrate on yet another phoney and illegal war. This time in Ukraine. They want to bring down Russia whilst quietly giving CCP the go ahead to stop supply chains by closing their ports and allowing the Beijing Olympics to go ahead. This is disgusting.
in the meantime the vaccinated will begin to fall sick and die. Slowly, surely and over time the young will see they have been sterilised.
when the athletes arrive back from Beijing they may well be carrying another bio weapon disguised as a virus to hit the Western World in the Autumn. Then, believe me, credit control and 100% surveillance will arrive, chipping, by poverty, confiscated property and the start of depopulation. you may laugh and call me a conspiracy theorist but we have yet to be proven wrong.
we will win against the Globalists and Central Banking System. But we have to stop using their language and believing that we are going back to normal. We are not. If we keep forgiving them and letting them off the hook we will lose our future eternally.
I think it is a big mistake to make the number, of lack of, deaths a reason for it (the restrictions, mandates etc) to be over.
They should be over for 2 reasons:
they were never ethical
there was never any proof or reasonable grounds for believing they would make any significant shortterm benefit and lots of grounds for believing they would make the Covid death toll worse in the long term. And that excludes all the collateral damage.
“It’s over” until the next variant. As this will be new, it will not be known for some weeks how virulent it is, so restrictions will be imposed during that period. I hear “We must learn to live with the virus” but those who say this never explain how.
But it’s not about public health is it? These tricksters will find ways to keep on spinning the yarn ( why suspend NHS mass sackings until September, if no plans to scaremong once again, as Winter approaches then?). The NHS 100K must just be the start of properly organised resistance to the tyrants.
I don’t understand why 2020 and 2021 have been excluded from the 5 year moving average.The whole point of a moving average is that it smooths out fluctuations and variance including high death years and low death years. If you exclude ‘high death years’ then the average is going to be skewed.
