Spike in Deaths Corresponding to Covid Vaccine Rollout Found in Peer-Reviewed Analysis of Japan and Germany

by Eugyppius
16 June 2023 7:00 AM

‘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.

“Tory capitulation to the soft-Left orthodoxy has ruined Britain”

The late George Carlin used to talk about ‘where interests converge’. That there didn’t need to be a formal conspiracy driving us towards a totalitarian future, because the people driving it went to the same university, same country club, their children went to the same schools, and so on. They didn’t need it writing down. They knew what was good for them, and they didn’t rock the boat.

This in my mind is what has happened to parliament and our MP’s. Far too many people with the same outlook on life and all things. The Labour party in government is likely to bring this to a whole new level. No longer the Union man off the steel-works shop floor, arguing with the landowners and bankers. The Commons are full of people who have went to the same Universities, read the same subject, go to the same dinner parties and gained their work experience in local councils, Think Tanks, NGO’s and charities.

“‘Disbelief’ as under-manned Royal Navy seeks to re-deploy officers to diversity and inclusion team”

Disbelief, really.? Its exactly what I would have expected from something that has lost its connection with core values, and its true mission. Its very sad.

Here’s a little video of when our Navy was filled with courageous recruits.

“The SNP’s Covid reckoning”

Its not the language. I can overlook the language. It is the utterly narcissistic way that they treated the entire situation, and the opportunism of using it for other ends that should hang them. It was nothing more than a game that they were playing. However it was one that required the deaths of real people who were doing nothing more than being caught up in a gigantic game of ‘who’s got the biggest dick’..?

“Britain halts aid to UN agency after claims staff helped Hamas attacks” 

Article behind paywall.

Britain, Italy, Canada and Australia followed the United States in withdrawing financial support for the UNWRA for Palestinian refugees. [Plus Germany and Finland so far. Ireland following international law and maintaining payments pending investigations.] 

https://www.politico.eu/article/italy-canada-australia-united-states-funding-unrwa-united-nations-hamas-israel/

-while 400,000+ people literally starve. Its payback for the ICJ interim decision. 

As Max Blumenthal notes:

 https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/1751110691103113456

“2003: GW Bush justifies invading Iraq with testimony by Ibn al-Shaykh Al-Libi, who was tortured into confession by CIA-trained Egyptian security services.
2024: Biden [and Sunak et al] justifies cutting UN aid to Gaza with testimony by Palestinian detainees tortured into confession by Israeli security services.”

And as posted elsewhere: ‘So an allegation that 7 people from 30,000 employees derived from intelligence ( confessions) made under torture from prisoners and without any court ruling or evidence presented is now acted upon by western nations. Hypocrites to the procedures of law. As the west always says, wait for a court to prove allegations especially when its against politicians for corruption etc. All this the day after an adverse IJC finding against Israel’ [which has wanted UNWRA out of Palestine for years] How convenient.

Do Sunak and all those other soulless hegemonic puppets realise that they could eventually be done for complicity in genocide?

Quite the opposite, I think we can safely conclude they know it will never happen.

The same people just presided over the killing of swathes of their own electorate without consequence other than the odd embarrassing headline.

Dr Mark Trozzi, professor, ER specialist & covid warrior, has his licence revoked in Canada, an egregious political decision that has nothing to do with patient care.

https://drtrozzi.substack.com/p/unrepentant-cpso-revokes-dr-trozzis

In reaching its decision, the Tribunal rejected Supreme Court cases, dating from 1939, which hold that Canadians enjoy an absolute constitutional right to express minority opinions on any subject. This allowed the Tribunal to rule that the College has a right to regulate the expression of its members in the name of the public interest.
The Tribunal’s ruling also rested on the prior discipline hearing decision, where the Tribunal found that Dr. Trozzi had caused harm by spreading misinformation, even though expert witnesses for the College failed to tender evidence that Dr. Trozzi’s statements had caused harm to a patient or a member of the public.
In support of its ruling, the Tribunal also rejected a 41-page report Dr. Trozzi submitted in 2021 in which he defended himself against the College’s initial allegations, citing 29 references from mainstream sources such as Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine, Public Health Ontario and Statistics Canada. This was done without mentioning that the College’s main expert witness, Dr. Andrew Gardam, had admitted on cross-examination during the discipline hearing that he had never attempted to refute the Trozzi report.

“‘Weakened’ Ukraine can’t launch offensive against Russia and must focus on defence, say US officials” 

Good idea because this (labelled ‘fake’ by Russian authorities, ring any bells?) is what it is like for Russian families:

‘The Russian government has turned its backs on soldiers and their families.
We’re being betrayed and exterminated by our own people. […] We were f*cked over and you’ll be f*cked over. All this time, all they showed us was lazy stability, reliability, and safety. We remember how the president promised that reservists wouldn’t be called up, that only professional volunteers would fight in the special military operation. And then they sent our loved ones to Ukraine. The promises proved empty. Many will never return. Mobilization turned out to be a terrible mistake. We were punished for our law-abidingness. Behind the smokescreen of stability, our men pay with blood, and we pay with our health and tears.

The president has declared 2024 to be the Year of the Family. It’s ironic, given that wives are crying without their husbands, children are growing up without fathers, and many have already become orphans. Meanwhile, a satanist cannibal who re-offended after his first prison sentence will be released again in six months, having atoned for his serial murders by fighting in the special military operation. Our president does have a sense of humor after all! Apparently, our motherland is being liberated for the very best of society: killers, drunks, migrants, and outrageously wealthy officials and their children (speaking of whom, why aren’t they in the trenches?).’

“The ICJ has been captured by antisemitic propaganda” 

Article behind a paywall but anyway – was under the impression that the whole right to self defence thing wasn’t part of international law for an occupying force which Isreal is identified as being with regard to Gaza, the West Bank, Golan Heights and the southern part of Lebanon. This has been discussed many times by numerous geopolitical experts over the years and particularly in the last few months. It appears to be a particularly West-centric viewpoint which ignores both existing law and the overwhelming view of world opinion, especially the Global South. Don’t exactly know what the complaint is anyway as Israel and it’s supporters – as expected – have completely ignored any and all measures the ICJ have stipulated. If you’re above the law, why complain about it?

What’s probably getting them rattled isn’t the ICJ interim decision per se, but the consequences of it on the global ‘street’: As Dr Razmy Baroud, editor in chief of the Palestine Chronicle has noted in a very thoughtful piece:

We should no longer submit to the direct accusation that boycotting Israel is an act of antisemitism. To the contrary, boycotting Israel now has some serious and legitimate legal basis in international law.

Given the following views:

Legally, the Israelis are occupiers.

Ideologically, all the non-Jews are occupiers.

Which one is consistent with the response of the Israeli regime?

Morning All

I was looking for some commentary to send to my brother on Chemtrails – he had never heard the term. I thought the DS is bound to have written about this, given its nefarious anti-democratic nature and related denials by the MSM, but nothing at all popped up on entering “chemtrails” into the Search Box.

DS Team – not sure if you agree that this would be a good topic for a researched article.

Morning Michael,
A good place to start is Dane Wigington’s website: https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/
He has been following this for a very long time. If you search for geoengineering online you’ll come across various articles purporting to be about ‘combating climate change’ or similar. Anyway, hope this helps.

Chemtrails seems to be one of those baffling so-called “conspiracy theories” because the evidence is pretty clear – I’ve seen with my own eyes on numerous occasions one or two planes creating a latticework of clouds in beautiful clear skies. I don’t live anywhere near a flight path and most days you wouldn’t see any planes in the sky at all. And yet, there seems to be a resistance to looking at it from sceptical sites. For example, the word “chemtrail” doesn’t appear on the Conservative Woman website when you put it in the search bar. I doubt the DS will cover it but thanks for raising what I consider to be an important issue.

Morning Mike I also have become interested in Chemtrails which I previously dismissed , due to having too much other stuff to digest ! We now live near the Welsh border & you can see criss cross patterns which are like layered waffles amongst the clouds ! Something is taking place & it won’t be for the best !!…

“What is the real purpose of the German nuclear phase-out, and why is the policy shrouded in so much silence and mystery?” – Eugyppius on the German Government’s fights to keep secret records related to the shutdown of the country’s last nuclear plants.

At the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai, over 20 countries launched a Declaration to Triple Nuclear Energy; Germany was notably missing from the 16 European signatories.

Bah! Germany could have signed that declaration. 3 times nothing is…?

“Tory capitulation to the soft-Left orthodoxy has ruined Britain” – Don’t blame Reform: Sunak’s party is unravelling because it succumbed to socialist delusions that were impossible to implement, says the Telegraph‘s Janet Daley.

So says the DT. The rag that gleefully supported one of the biggest socialist coups in history in 2020. Too little too late. The ship has sailed.
