Excess deaths in the past year were thousands higher than in the pandemic year of 2021 – 67,724 vs 54,770 above the pre-pandemic five-year average – and just a quarter were from Covid. Lucy Johnston has the story in the Express.
Unexpected deaths are more than 10% higher than the pre-Covid average, with experts warning we are facing “a catastrophe of equal proportion to the pandemic itself”.
They are calling for an urgent investigation into the causes, with figures showing that there were more excess – or unexpected – losses last year than in 2021.
There were 67,724 extra deaths in England and Wales between April 30th 2022 and April 28th 2023. That is 12.8% above the pre-pandemic five-year average.
Of these, a quarter were attributed to Covid, with three-quarters given as non-coronavirus causes.
This excess is higher than the number of excess deaths during the pandemic in 2021. Then there were 54,770 extra, mostly Covid deaths compared to the pre-pandemic five-year average – a 10.3% increase.
Experts have puzzled over the cause of the post-pandemic rise, which has been largely attributed to heart problems or diabetes.
Some blame the long-term effects of delayed healthcare due to lockdown measures, while others point to the record NHS waiting lists.
Cancer specialists are also increasingly alarmed over the delayed diagnoses or treatments translating into increased mortality.
In December, Professor Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer for England, blamed reduced prescriptions for statins and other cholesterol-lowering drugs during Covid restrictions.
However, other experts argued that statins take a long time to have an effect on reducing heart disease, while an Oxford study found there was no reduction in those prescriptions.
Some have blamed an ageing population. But figures show most excess deaths over the past year have been in those under 75, with fewer than expected from conditions such as dementia and Parkinson’s.
Last week oncologists re-stated their alarm about a “cancer time bomb”, with thousands of people losing their lives to the disease due to delayed diagnosis and treatment. They predict tens of thousands of excess deaths over the next decade.
Professor Gordon Wishart, a breast cancer surgeon of private diagnostic service Check4Cancer, carried out the cancer research. He said: “The levels of excess deaths we are seeing is a catastrophe of equal proportion to the pandemic.”
Professor Richard Sullivan, at King’s College London, said: “We fear the cancer death waves will get bigger and bigger leading to tens of thousands of lost life years.”
The Department of Health said it had published a recovery plan to combat waiting times, adding: “We are fully focused on improving cancer outcomes.”
Professor Carl Heneghan, Director of Oxford University’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine said: “How high do excess non-Covid deaths have to go before we do anything about it? We need to urgently investigate what is causing this rise as well as immediately prioritise cancer diagnosis and treatment.”

67,000 unnecessary deaths last year – more than pandemic year of 2021 AND 10 pc above 5 year average
If no urgent action wave upon wave of extra deaths will continue ….
Why is govt failing to investigate? pic.twitter.com/ghrq3HM0Xu

What pandemic is this of which they speak?
Not sure…. But there were excess deaths during the timeframe of Spring 2020.
The excess deaths in 2020 (there were a fair number according to a UK actuary I’m acquainted with) occurred during lockdown… Make of that what you will.
My reading of what happened is that there was a bad flu season. All cause mortality at 2008 levels. Probably made worse by lockdowns and related nonsense. Nothing exceptional.
This is from an actuary. He was very specific about the timeframe that the excess deaths occurred in. Doesn’t contradict what you say about all cause mortality, adds nuance & extra detail.
Indeed; thanks. Sadly we will never know the full truth of what happened as the evidence was deliberately muddied.
The Government deliberately put in place measures that were bound to result in excess deaths: it scared/shamed people out of attending A & E, told people with covid to bugger off and only come back if they thought they were about to die, after which it put them on ventilators to ensure they did, and it euthanased thousands with Midozalam.
This issue is being ignored until politicians can figure out a way to avoid being blamed by it, and pin the blame on others.
Following the science doesn’t work any more; nor does get vaccinated.
Indeed. What has changed that could reasonably be blamed (assuming you think the “excess” large enough to warrant an explanation beyond normal fluctuation in mortality)? Three things spring to mind: 1) The “vaccines” are killing people 2) Lockdown after effects are killing people 3) Covid is killing people. Government would certainly be to blame for the first two, and admitting (3) is the case would make them and the “vaccines” look useless.
All 3 things are true, I also see that Kevin McKernan is reporting that his analysis of Pfizer mRNA material is showing that it contains DNA with the Simian Virus 40 sequence within it, SV40 being a known cause of accelerated cancers of all sorts.
There are people involved in this execrable business who should be locked up and left to rot.
Indeed these things are not mutually exclusive.
It’s the SV40 promoter sequence that’s being used, rather than the carcinogenic SV40 virus. The promoter is a region of the (DNA) plasmid that the RNA polymerase can latch onto to start generating mRNA.
Right, I did read that, but be aware that there is some concern that the promoter sequence can end up transferring to the host cells and that there is no reason for any DNA to be in the mRNA concoction.
Locked up? That’s far too expensive there’s only one solution.
‘Experts’. Flock off. They know nothing. No one blaming the only major new variable – the stabbinations. 150 K dead post the major stab programs and as this article says 67 K dead (likely undercounted) from April 22 to April 23….yet no one will look at pharma poisons. LDs: 30 K dead durng and after due to no access etc ? Midazolam: 30 K murdered during March to May 2020 ? Stabs 150 K dead? So we have 200 K dead from policies vs 20K dead from Rona and only from Rona (not from fake tests, handwaving). And the deaths will continue – cancers etc. + infertility….
Experts have puzzled over the cause of the post-pandemic rise, which has been largely attributed to heart problems or diabetes.
What could it be?
Well, some things are just a mystery. Like is the universe infinite, or is their an afterlife, things like that.
For the newbies, this is sarcasm.
News just in: the fully jabbed and triple boosted elephant in the room has just died suddenly.
Nothing to do with the injectable biotoxins then? The ones that the entire population, including children were cajoled, coerced, manipulated, terrified, gaslighted and forced on pain of job termination to have by lying self serving charlatans like Matt Hancock and his colleagues in government and other government advisors.
This supports my oft stated view that what is occurring is a premeditated depopulation agenda.
We know about the spike protein and LNPs but the discovery of DNA contamination in 100% of the vials checked by Kevin McKernon and his team is another aspect of concern. It also just proves how the manufacturing process of this toxic sludge is not being checked and regulated. Kevin’s articles are very technical and go way over my head so this is a nice, accessible to all explainer about what plasmids are and the hazards to health they pose. There is just no possible way that the manufacturers don’t know it’s in there. I don’t subscribe to cock-up theory at this stage;
”This DNA contamination poses multiple risks to human health relating to the integration of foreign genes into the human genome, with potential for inflammatory processes, development of cancer and transmission of the genes to offspring leading to inter-generational harms.
It must be asked if this DNA contamination is intentional on the part of the pharmaceutical companies, who appear to be disregarding all basic principles of safe manufacture at the risk to public health on a mass scale. Pfizer’s recent acquisition of Seagen, a cancer drug developer, could suggest prior knowledge.
Plans by WHO and their various corporate partners for an additional 500 vaccines, almost exclusively using this unregulated, dangerous mRNA platform, must be efficiently and permanently cancelled. The ‘exceptional return on investment‘ corrupting public health requires a firm and permanent removal of corporate influence from research and policy. A return to rigorous and ethical science is needed urgently.”

This is just so puzzling. What could possibly be causing the massive increase in heart related issues and deaths? Hmmmm I just can’t figure it out. *Cough* mRNA gene therapy *Cough*
I will say it loud and clear…this is the biggest medical scandal of all time. It is democide. A deliberate culling of the population. Despicable.
The biggest medical scandal of recent times, with the previous title-holder being that mid-European nation who allowed evil medical practices under the guise of public health. It was around 90 years ago and the world was so aghast when it came out, this led to the Nuremberg declaration.
To paraphrase AB while just barely avoiding Godwin’s Law
It sure is that. And to the doubters who are in denial that this is deliberate culling of the population I’ll say this; if it isn’t then why aren’t TPTB doing anything about it? But nope, on with the show. Well into year 3 of the plan now and with more mRNA jabs to look forward to..
There will be no Nuremberg 2 trials. The key reason is that traditionally such trials can be held only by the victors, who currently are Lockdowners. I suspect some of them are praying for a new pretext to declare a pandemic. Perhaps a few are reaching for a shredder which can outsmart ePuzzler yet not leave a carbon footprint! In the meantime there will doubtless be various whitewash reports, or even a couple of scapegoats.
Is Sadiq Khan COVID ‘vaccine’ injured?
He apparently suffered a suspected mild heart attack during COP 26
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/sadiq-khan-heart-attack-cop26-glasgow-book-release-breathe-b1082730.html
The dates were 31st October 2021 to 12th November 2021.
On the 29th October 2021 he was reported to have received a COVID ‘vaccine’.
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/sadiq-khan-covid-booster-vaccine-jab-mayor-b963226.html
It looks as though he was injected at least a couple more times since then. Very brave.
I would use a different word, I can’t see Khan being brave at all.
Yes, sorry I was mocking him because of this: –

I guess to be brave you need to knowingly put yourself in danger.
So he had a Covid booster and Flu vaccine on 29th October 2021 and then had a heart attack while giving a speech on 10th November 2021.
Thanks for pinning down the date of his suspected heart attack. He probably sought treatment at this place: –

Hey, the Elephant in the room is caused by the mRNA jabs you wilfully blind idiots –

And if our friendly phantom down ticker wants to refute this, game on.
But you’d better know a thing or two about the immune system and genetic engineering sunshine.
No..there can’t be any excess deaths…BBC says it’s misinformation and they’ve just launched BBC Verify so everyone reporting this is wrong….. (honest!)
Gosh, let me think what might be causing or at the very least adding to the excess mortality we’re seeing in Australia, NZ, Canada, America and the EU countries ….. as well as the UK.
Since they all have different health systems and experience of Covid, surely there must be another common factor which needs to be investigated.
That’s a toughie ….. what could it possibly be?
I know it’s a difficult one. HELLO I’M HERE!!!!!
