Australia is an important control group because it had minimal Covid prior to Omicron at the end of 2021. Therefore the effects of the vaccine alone on the population can be deduced by what happened there in 2021.
There are two key points to note. Firstly, there was a lack of respiratory deaths in 2020, 2021 and even 2022. Any analysis of excess mortality needs to account for that. Secondly, many of the excess deaths were not included in the major categories of death.
Total deaths
Total mortality was lower in 2020 and higher in 2021 than expected levels (see figure 1). Figure 2 shows the same data with an adjusted y-axis to show that these differences were not insignificant. For 2021, there were 4,145 excess deaths in 2021 whereas there were only 1,224 deaths attributed to Covid.
Respiratory Causes of Death
In 2020, deaths from respiratory causes plummeted. This is likely to be because of the disappearance of influenza from 2020. In 2021, the same was true. Clearly, any assessment of excess from other causes needs to account for this deficit. The deficit was 3,078 in 2020, 2,273 in 2021 and 1,130 in 2022. The 4,415 total excess in 2021 is therefore likely to represent a true excess of 6,688 when the deficit in respiratory deaths is taken into account, which would be a 4.5% increase in all deaths and 3.7% excess in non-Covid deaths.
Uncategorised deaths
As always with such datasets, the data of interest are not apparent at first glance. After removing the major categories of cancer, circulatory, respiratory and dementia deaths, the uncategorised non-Covid deaths show a significant increase above expected levels. There were 2,841 such excess deaths in 2021 and 6,238 in 2022. It would be interesting to know how many of these were sudden unexpected deaths. In England and Wales, such deaths are categorised as “symptoms, signs and ill defined conditions” and accounted for the largest group of non-Covid excess deaths from March 2020 to June 2022.
Figure 5 shows that in 2021, the 1,224 deaths attributed to Covid were far fewer than the deficit in respiratory deaths from other causes. In the meantime, circulatory deaths and ‘other’ deaths were substantially higher, amounting to a combined excess of 4,776.
In 2022, deaths attributed to Covid reached 9,735 while these circulatory and ‘other’ deaths escalated further accounting for 10,403 deaths. Taken together, there were four excess circulatory and other non-Covid causes of death for every death attributed to Covid in 2021, whereas in 2022 these were of equal magnitude. Anyone wanting to dismiss these deaths as under-diagnosed Covid needs to explain, first, why diagnosis failed and secondly why this ratio was so dramatically different in 2021 to 2022.
Major causes of death
The 2015-2019 trendline provides a very accurate prediction for deaths from cancer (figure 3) and deaths from dementia (figure 4) indicating that it is a reasonable method to use for assuming a baseline.
Ischaemic heart disease deaths were in excess of expected levels, with 876 extra deaths. (Remember there were only 1,224 deaths attributed to Covid.)
Similarly, deaths from other cardiac conditions were also in excess, with 583 extra deaths in 2021.
Unlike other causes of death, deaths from strokes showed a declining trend until 2021, when there was an excess of 476 deaths.
Deaths in Australia exceeded expected levels from 2021, well in excess of what could be attributed to Covid. The excess was part circulatory disease, while many deaths did not fall into the main categories of deaths.
These data from the Australian ‘control’ group, where Covid was not a major factor until 2022, underline concerns about the role Covid vaccines may be playing in global trends in excess deaths.

Pretending to help in cases of need, but filling their pockets on over-managed organisations filled to the brim with marxists. Where were their tears for Syria and Yemen, and the ‘unfathomable death and destruction’ which has been on a much greater scale that that seen in Gaza.?
Its a open secret that a tiny fraction of money actually reaches the point of need, also its not funny anymore, so it looks a bushed flush to me. What happened to Lenny Henry? I sat and watched his TV debut live on New Faces in 1974. He was a breath of fresh air, very funny, and no-one cared about his skin until he made it an issue. He was just a funny young man and got a good career out of it. Now he’s preachy and everything is about his skin and he isn’t remotely funny.
So much easier to blither on about stuff going on halfway around the world than sort out our own house, isn’t it?
Just saying.
Where was “Comic Relief” in the lockdowns, hm? And during the almost forced jabbing of everyone with untested and dangerous crap, huh? And during the vilification and denunciation of anyone who spoke out against it all, y’ know? Cos all this happened on our own goddamn doorstep.
Burning money would do more good than donating it to comic relief, at least that act would generate some heat.
Cheaper than electricity too.
Yes that statement is just so full of hatred.
The biggest crisis about comic relief is that it hasn’t been funny in decades.
Not true, there was one good bit in 2021.

I’m guessing he’s a Mizrahi Jew.
And your point is? Apart from showing how smart????? you are?
I don’t blame Israelis that aren’t backing a ceasefire if this is the sort of psychopathic nextdoor neighbours that make up the civilian population of Palestine. Would it not be like making HMP Wakefield an open prison then expecting families to live just the other side of the fence? And boy do they love to stick the knife in ( <1min );
”These are the type of people that Israel has been forced to release from its prisons in exchange for the Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Mainstream media is trying to portray them as regular Palestinians , but nearly all of them are terrorists.”

Ooh look at all of these under 18yrs and female Palestinian prisoners being released. I didn’t know such people existed….
”The list of terrorists to be released Saturday night includes 33 male underage terrorists, and six female terrorists. Among these is Asra’a Jabas, a terrorist from Jerusalem, who suffered burns to her face while attempting to carry out a terror attack.
Jabas was sentenced in 2016 to 11 years in prison after she caused a gas balloon to explode in a machine near the al Za’im checkpoint near the city of Maaleh Adumim in 2015.
Police officer Moshe Hen, who was at the scene, suffered burns to his face and chest, and Jabas herself suffered burns, among other things to her nose. She has asked multiple times to receive money for cosmetic surgery, but was rejected. At the same time, she has undergone multiple medical treatments at the expense of the Prisons Service.
A request was filed to revoke her Israeli residency before her release from prison. She will return to her home in the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood of Jerusalem following her release.”

Crikey, fantasy becomes reality. And here’s me thinking female terrorists were an urban myth, a bit like black racists and under 18s that try and kill people, and they didn’t really exist. Actually, I think this one has ”freedom fighter” written all over her, no? There’s some crazy-assed biatches living in Palestine, that’s for sure. Coming to a Western country ( with refugee status ) near you, soon;

Never given a penny to Comic Relief and never likely to. It’s a politicised, pretendy-charity, run by the usual assortment of left-wing activists claiming to be funny.
Funny really, what has any of this to do with Comic Reflief? Why don’t they leave politics where it belongs and get on with the job?
Time Comic Relief was binned, like all money making so-called charities.
All good causes become businesses and then rackets.
