In recent years just shy of 60 million have died globally each year. Our World in Data reports that in 2021 about 3.5 million people globally died from Covid.
Imperial College London’s claim that 20 million people were ‘saved’ during 2021 by the rollout of the vaccines has been repeated across the media and by governments worldwide; most people accept this as a ‘fact’. It’s a fundamental part of ‘the Narrative’.
Add 3.5 million ‘Covid’ deaths to the 20 million ‘saved’ from a Covid death and you have 23.5 million ‘Covid’ deaths that Imperial et al. anticipated would have occurred in 2021 sans the vaccine. That’s more than 40% of all global all-cause deaths!
Let’s just subject Imperial’s claim to a quick ‘sniff’ test. For just three weeks in mid-May 2020, before the arrival of any vaccines or much by way of therapeutics at all, cumulative all-cause excess deaths in the U.K. (according to the Hallett Inquiry, one of the worst hit countries) reached a peak of 20% (Figure 1). The figure then fell back to around 10%.
Of course, in 2020 we faced a novel(ish) virus with a naïve(ish) population. Even so, at no point did cumulative excess deaths in the U.K. approach anywhere near the 40% that Imperial’s research suggests would have been maintained across all countries, sustained for a whole year!
Estimates of total deaths linked to World War Two tend to be in the region of 70 million. Over the six years of the war this equates to about 12 million per year. Imperial’s claim that vaccines averted 23.5 million Covid deaths in 2021 would have you believe that, had it not been for the vaccines we would have seen twice the WW2 annual fatality level in 2021.
If you think you’ve read a recent article by me covering this same topic you’d be right. However, I missed some key data, which I hope this article will make up for.
My previous article made something of a ripple on social media, with Toby’s tweet of it reaching around 70,000 people.
It generated lots of comments. One came from Stephen Janitor, who pointed out that I should have set Imperial’s claim against global all-cause mortality to illustrate just how ludicrous it truly is. He was so right!
Figure 2 comes from Our World in Data (I’ve doctored the 2021 figure in line with the implied Lancet estimate). It shows that in 2019 global deaths totalled 58 million. In 2020 OWID show deaths at 63.2 million, an increase of 5.23 million. Interestingly, OWID attributes just 1.94 million deaths to Covid in 2020. So, what caused the other 3.29 million excess deaths? Lockdown? 1.6 excess non-Covid deaths for every ‘Covid’ death – how’s that for an instant cost-benefit analysis? Definitely one for an inquiry to look into some time.
I knew of two people personally who died of or with Covid. One was in his 90s, living with cancer and despairingly depressed from being locked in his room in a ‘care’ home. The other was over 70 and suffering from mesothelioma.
In the U.K., in round numbers, 10 people in a 1,000 die each year; in 2020, 11 people in a 1,000 died.
World War Two isn’t the only comparator worth considering. Looking at Figure 2 you’ll see I’ve circled a spike in global deaths back around 1960. This shows the impact of the great famine in China. You’ll have seen newsreels and read about it. It was truly horrific. In fact, so horrific that from 1958 to 1959 deaths in China increased by about, you guessed it, one third (33%) – lower than the 40% figure implied by the Lancet globally for 2021. Deaths increased again in 1960, before plunging back down to normal levels by 1962. We all lived through 2020 without vaccines; did it feel like we might imagine China to have been like in 1960? Thank heavens Mao didn’t emulate Rishi and introduce a Chinese version of ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ in late 1958, can you imagine what horrors Hugo Keith K.C. would conjure up that this would have led too?
I made the point in my previous article that the global vaccination rate at six months into 2021 was only about 10% and by the time vaccination could have had any impact at all only about 50% of the global population had been jabbed. However, in Africa the figures were less than 2% at the six month stage and only 10% at the end of 2021.
So, most of the unjabbed in 2021 were in Africa and, to a lesser extent, Asia. Did millions of these poor unvaxxed people die of Covid? Of course not.
Figure 4 shows Covid deaths across the world with Africa and Asia itemised. Where are all these deaths of the unvaccinated? Not in Africa, that’s for sure.
However, looking at Figure 4, we do see an inflection point. But it’s not when vaccines were introduced, or at any point in 2021, rather it’s when Omicron arrived in 2022.
For good measure I’ve included a chart (see Figure 5) that shows the unbelievably rapid escalation of Omicron as the dominant, though milder variant, on all continents, at about the same time. Just in time to cause that March 2022 inflection point in consequent deaths.
It’s overwhelmingly likely that Covid was a man-made pathogen. It’s also been speculated that the Omicron variant, rather than having evolved naturally (albeit, from a man-made virus), was separately ‘manufactured’. If that’s the case, shouldn’t whoever developed Omicron be getting the plaudits rather than the developers of the uniquely useless vaccines, along with Mother Nature, for the perfectly adequate immunity system she endowed us all with?
