‘Annual All-Cause Mortality Rate in Germany and Japan (2005 to 2022) with Focus on the COVID-19 Pandemic: Hypothesis and Trend Analyses‘ is a letter in the journal Medicine and Clinical Science by Hagen Scherb and Keiji Hayashi, comparing mortality trends across these two “highly industrialised countries, which have large and ageing populations in common”. It’s the first piece I know of to look closely at pandemic-era mortality trends in Japan – a country which provides a useful control on many fronts, because it took a relatively relaxed approach to non-pharmaceutical interventions, like many other Asian jurisdictions never saw much Covid mortality, and yet since autumn 2021 has a substantially higher vaccination rate than Germany.
This will shock you, but the results don’t look great for the vaccines.
First, the less interesting part of their analysis, namely death trends in Germany:
The first year of the pandemic coincided with slightly elevated mortality firmly within the bounds of prior trends, while the years of mass vaccination, 2021 and 2022, saw an anomalous 48,617 and 66,528 excess deaths respectively. This is roughly equal to the official Covid death tally for these years, but the analysis of Kuhbandner and Reitzner (recently published in Cureus) indicates that the virus cannot explain nearly all of them. Both the timing and the age-stratified data strongly suggest that a substantial number must be related to vaccination.
Particular interest thus attaches to Japan as a comparison case:
Whereas 2020 saw slightly above-trend mortality in Germany, it was a year of below-average deaths in Japan. 2021 was elevated but within-trend, while 2022 saw substantial excess mortality, well in excess of the deaths caused by the natural disasters of 2011. Nor can Covid explain these deaths; official Japanese virus mortality for 2022, which we know is substantially overstated in the Omicron era, amounts to only 38,870 deaths, a mere 32% of the excess.
What’s very interesting about the pandemic is its highly variable influence on all-cause mortality across the globe, and how this contrasts with the vaccines, which seem to coincide with marked upward trends almost everywhere they were widely administered.
The authors observe that “the official fear-mongering forecasts… in 2020 from COVID-19 in high income countries did not come true, neither in Japan nor in Germany”, but note that:
[I]t should be investigated to what extent the about 5-10% highly significantly increased mortalities in Germany and Japan in 2021 and 2022 might be due to the pandemic countermeasures, including the vaccinations with their possibly underestimated immediate or protracted side effects. … From this point of view, it seems possible that a high vaccination rate has contributed to an increased all-cause mortality in some countries…
Elke Bodderas, who draws attention to this analysis in Welt, notes the profound official incuriosity surrounding these numbers:
What is the RKI [the German CDC] doing now? It’s busy with many other things. It’s very interested in “an investigation of the promotion of physical activity in childcare centres, schools and sport associations – in light of pandemic restrictions.” In other areas too it shows great industry. Interesting news will certainly come from its telephone survey “on foodborne illness”, or its general study on “health in Germany today” …
Is there anyone in the RKI who worries that German intensive care units suddenly reported a 76% increase in embolic strokes in December, as hospital data of the billing portal Inek show? Or why Japan, which [Christian] Drosten praised as an “exemplary” country, saw such an outrageously high excess mortality in 2022 – more than twice as much as in the tsunami year of 2011?
No, not a single person anywhere in officialdom has demonstrated the slightest interest in these questions.
The entire success of our genius one-cool-trick pandemic measures exists in a hypothetical world. It is never anything we can see. Deaths in Germany were totally on-trend in 2020, but we’re asked to believe they would’ve been catastrophic without lockdowns. They increased substantially with the advent of mass vaccination beginning precisely April 2021, but we’re asked to believe even more would’ve died without the vaccines.
Complicit health authorities control a great many statistics, and they’ll keep truly damning numbers under lock and key as long as they can. In the meantime, the most powerful proof that the vaccination campaign was anything but a success will remain the all-cause mortality reports, which is one of the few statistics that they can’t hide. The total lack of interest in explaining these strange numbers speaks volumes.

I can’t believe how much data like this gets ignored.
Because there are too many people controlling the story who would have to hide themselves, surround themselves with security, if the truth of what they did was made known to the wider public who took the injections through either force, or because they were told it would save them from death with Covid.
I long for the day of reckoning. Hopefully, it will come
Same with Saint Jenner and his smallpox quacksine. Quack Jenner is more accurate. The murderer and injurer of children. Oh but wait. He was the science and saved trillions. I guess when he bought his med cert for £15 that instantly turned him into an immunologist. I saw exactly the same patterns with the mRNA quackcines that one can read when you do a deep dive on the smallpox quackcines. Even the word salads are the same.
I can.

It does look as if “the cure is worse than the disease”. It could be that the whole concept of “lockdown” and the ensuing consequences has been an underlying cause, but those who made the decisions will fight like ferrets in a sack before the whole truth is common knowledge. Even if they are found guilty w.r.t. lockdowns, they might try to argue that the vaccination programme mitigated it, rather than actually being part of the problem itself. Who knows?
How weird. I just posted the paper in the News Round-Up, lol. Anyways, looks like they’re going back to monovalent Covid death jabs. Let’s be honest, they’ll just keep tinkering and adding any old toxic crud in there won’t they, and with zero adherence to good manufacturing practice or regulations these things will just keep killing people as a result. But not *intentionally*, obvs..<max sarc>

Another aspect of this is the way alternative vaccines were aggressively and strongly sidelined and kicked into the long grass. With the benefit of hindsight I guess many of us would now question the need for covid vaccines at all but that is another discussion.
The fact is there were alternative vaccines, I myself was on the Valneva trial and was injected with Valneva vaccine. This vaccine subsequently passed all its trials and could have been used in the UK but it was ruthlessly suppressed, contracts cancelled and it disappeared into history. How different the covid vaccine history might have been if Valneva had been promoted and made available in the UK? But they wanted no competition and no comparisons, they wanted the decks cleared to give mRNA technology a clear run.
It does seem to me that with the benefit of hindsight, this was and is all about far more than Covid. It seems to be that the mRNA vaccine technology offers such glittering prizes of money, power and control that it is irresistible to the TPTB, big Pharma and all the associated players and they will not and cannot leave it alone despite the rather glaring and inconvenient problem that it seems to kill some people rather than protect them.

Kids – question ? Do you not think that the fact that the Elephant in the Room is out there now & yet TPTB are pushing on with new Jab Factories & mRNA technology, The WHO are signing this & that treaty , that will give them untold power + we are being force fed impossible anti nature gender confusion etc !!.. Are they ( in their heads ) on the home straight so they no longer have to care what they say or do !!
They are untouchable, that’s for sure. The evidence keeps coming but nobody is being held to account and the death jabs stay on the market and keep getting offered/pushed on the lemmings. Tells you all you need to know about their agenda don’t you think? No amount of actual hard evidence showing obvious safety signals/harms seems to make a blind bit of difference. The only control we have is the power to resist. The positive is that there’s less and less uptake of the damn things as time goes on. A combo of people being more aware and less fearful.
Now the government has shown its true face I will not be complying with any government edict and any variations of their quaxines will go the same way the original one went, ignored completely by me!

a point of order, dear ‘Daily Sceptic’:
so-called ‘peer review’ is a control freak scam.
it indicates nothing about the quality of a scientific paper.
it’s well established that peer review is a capricious process, often arbitrary and random, predicated on idiosyncrasies of the reviewer.
peer review is a relatively recent invention.
Newton and Einstein didn’t publish with peer review.
peer review appoints one or two individuals as gatekeepers of science.
genuine peer review is done by anyone and everyone with something reasonable to say – and it’s conducted post-publication.
fortunately some of the more thoughtful scientific journals are now adopting this genuine post-publication peer review model.
these more enlightened journals also merely check that an article is written in scientific format before publishing.
unfortunately, so-called ‘artificial intelligence’ (a contradiction in terms) is probably going to trash the quality and reliability of all scientific publishing, unless we trash the artificial intelligence.
