There have been 21,238 excess non-Covid deaths registered in England and Wales in the 25 weeks since April 23rd, according to the latest official data from the Office for National Statistics, released on Tuesday. This is 9% more than expected, based on an average of the previous five years.
In the week ending October 14th, the most recent week for which data are available, 11,699 deaths were registered in England and Wales, which is 1,608 (15.9%) above the five-year average for the week. Of these, 565 mentioned COVID-19 on the death certificate as a contributory cause and 374 mentioned COVID-19 as underlying cause, leaving 1,234 deaths from a different underlying cause.
The autumn booster campaign in over-50s in England does correlate somewhat with a new rise in excess non-Covid deaths, as shown below. It will be interesting to see how this develops. I discuss potential explanations for the excess deaths and possible connections with the vaccines and virus in my previous post.
Excess non-Covid deaths have remained high since the spring, as shown in the cumulative curve (by registration date) below.
The recent Covid wave peaked in early October and has been declining since, as depicted below.
The rise and fall of waves without restrictions indicates that this is a natural pattern, not one created by interventions.
The shaded areas are the national lockdowns and the red arrows are Christmas. Infections precede prevalence by a several days, so clearly lockdowns were not necessary to cause these waves to peak. Christmas festivities and holidays seem to cause waves to end sharply, perhaps due to an acceleration followed by a holiday period. Deaths follow prevalence by two to three weeks
Pillar 1 screening of hospital patients has given a largely consistent picture since after the first wave (during which it was less reliable as it was still being set up). Pillar 1 data reflect infections in older groups, which is where Covid has any significant health risk (similar to flu). Comparing death rate to Pillar 1 positivity shows how the infection fatality rate fell dramatically with Delta versus Alpha and earlier variants (the blue and green lines are closer together, vaccines and natural immunity may have played a role here), with a further decrease with Omicron.

What I’ve learnt about them is that they were well worth avoiding, especially w.r.t. the way they were marketed.
Remember
As many of you know, four weeks from today, in the King’s Bench Division of the High Court of England, shall be heard:
The King on the application of Mark Steyn

The Office of Communications
What is it
Britain and indeed the world owe Doctors Heneghan and Jefferson a huge debt for putting themselves front and centre in this battle with the anti human forces behind big pharma. I remember the early days when these good men were the very essence of politeness and restraint, now, quite rightly the gloves are off.
God bless them both.
Even though it has been more than four years since the start of “covid”, and fair while since “covid” was “over”, I cannot fathom the enormity of what was done, and the lack of interest most people show in it to this day. Articles like this really bring this home to me. Monstrous.
With you on that tof.
It’s almost like every morning I wake up and wonder if it was all a bad dream. I will never get my head round it.
That is pretty much where I am. I lay in bed this morning and couldn’t help but think “what have the youngsters got in front of them?”
It looks to me as if Orwell’s ‘1984’ is a real possibility within a barbaric muslim nightmare. I don’t see a future of hope I see a future of violence, depression and drudgery. Bleak. Very bleak.
It can seem like that
I just try to take care of me and mine and don’t give the bastards the satisfaction
I will never forget and never forgive. I want the guilty men and women treated the same way the Nazis were at Nuremberg.
A nightmare, like you and Hux, just cannot get my head around what happened and how it happened.
I though we Brits had something about us, the Bulldog spirit is dead and gone.
I thought we would be what Sweden were, and I thought Sweden would act like we did!
Something is seriously broken in the British psyche, it is a dead psyche it is no more!
I’d read into disaster planning and dystopian end times, but just never saw it coming. When the CMO’s of the British nations announced on 19th March 2020 the reduction from HCID I honestly that was it, we would be scaling back the rhetoric and the scaremongering, and calling out Neil Ferguson as the charlatan he clearly was – how very wrong I was!
I even naively believed that the NHS existed to save us!
I regret nothing I did in resisting the madness, but friendships have been lost!
I’m yet to regret not getting the vax that’s not a vax, and still strongly believe I made the right call, and will be vindicated.
Ditto !

Paul Weston on YouTube with the perfect accompaniment to this article. Lots of Abduls on the take – literally.
A sincere thank you for all the hard work you have done over the last 3-4 years re the “pandemic” etc and for your work prior to that in trying to extol the benefits, nay necessity, of evidence based medicine.
I look forward to seeing Carl appearing on the BBC soon – no doubt shortly after the Guardian has invited him to write a series of articles criticising lockdowns, masks, school closures, social distancing, modified RNA and their untested lipid nanoparticles, the dangers of mass vaccination etc. etc.
That said, remember he’s up against luminaries such as the writer of this tripe –
https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/11/astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-jab-coronavirus-saved-lives-humanitarian-crises
According to the author of the linked Guardian article the AZ “vaccine” saved 6.3 million lives in 2021 alone. Later in the article we get this…
“We only know those who were harmed by it but cannot pinpoint those who benefited.
Again, this makes it trickier to pinpoint a vaccine’s success and assure people of its efficacy.”
But they were able to pinpoint efficacy to 6.3 million lives. This Robin Mickie is quite frankly a dangerous liar.
