Excess deaths since 2022 were primarily in the vaccinated, official data suggest, fuelling fears that the Covid vaccines may be playing a significant role in the high excess deaths in recent years.
Data from the Office for National Statistics show that the proportion of total deaths in England among unvaccinated people dropped sharply in early 2022, even as excess deaths soared. The proportion then remained low throughout the following two years, indicating that the additional deaths during this period were concentrated in the vaccinated.
Is this why the authorities continue to resist releasing the full data on deaths by vaccination status? A cross-party group of 21 MPs and peers are the latest to write to request the data be released. Are the authorities refusing because they know the data show excess deaths predominantly in the vaccinated?
The striking effect was seen in every age group. The charts showing these results can be seen below (find the data here, table 5). The blue lines show the total deaths by month in the age group (left-hand axis) while the red lines show the proportion of deaths in the unvaccinated in the age group (right-hand axis; unvaccinated here means receiving no doses). The most striking feature on each chart is the steep drop in the red line in early 2022, which denotes a sharp and sustained drop in the proportion of deaths in the unvaccinated and a corresponding rise in the proportion in the vaccinated.
Note this is not because more people got vaccinated at that time, as the number getting their first dose in these age groups was almost zero by this point (see chart below, taken from here, data here). People getting their first dose may affect the trends seen in 2021, particularly in the first part of the year, though the over-60s were largely done with first doses by June 2021.
Here are the charts by age group. It’s worth pointing out that by using only death data they avoid the problems with the ONS population estimates highlighted by Professor Norman Fenton and others that have tended to exaggerate the death rate in the unvaccinated.
Note that the red lines during 2022 and 2023 are mostly flat, particularly for those in their 60s, 70s and 80s, even during many of the peaks in total deaths. This is particularly noticeable during winter 2022-23, where despite a large peak in deaths the red lines stay largely flat. This suggests that vaccine efficacy against death, at least from the Omicron variants, is very low, since if the virus was disproportionately killing the unvaccinated (i.e., the vaccines were protecting the vaccinated) the proportion of deaths in the unvaccinated should spike during waves. That it usually does not suggests low vaccine efficacy.
These charts include no comparison with death rates before the vaccination period so don’t allow us to say very much about the pre-Omicron period as there is little to compare it to. However, there are notable spikes in the red lines for those over 70 during the Delta wave of late 2021. On first sight this would seem to indicate vaccine efficacy against the Delta variant during that winter. Things may not be so straightforward, however. Notice that the other largish spike for those over 80 is in summer 2022. Importantly, this was not associated with a Covid wave; instead it was associated with a heatwave – that was when the heat dome was sitting over Europe causing record temperatures. This is significant because the vaccine obviously does not protect against heatwaves. This means the reason for the summer 2022 spike is not vaccine efficacy. What is it then?
It seems likely it is related to the ‘healthy vaccinee effect’ i.e., the fact that people who take vaccines tend to be people with better background health outcomes than those who don’t take vaccines. A number of studies indicate that vaccinated people have a background death rate around half that of unvaccinated people (this is a background death rate not related to vaccine efficacy or safety).
The poorer background health of the unvaccinated group means that any general cause of death that disproportionately affects the frail or those with comorbidities, such as a virus epidemic or a heatwave, will naturally, other things being equal, disproportionately affect the unvaccinated group, for reasons unrelated to the vaccine. This would explain the summer 2022 spike in the red lines and it may also explain some or much of the spike during the Delta wave as well. Assuming this is right, it makes the lack of spikes during other waves, such as winter 2022-23, even more striking, as one would normally expect the unvaccinated group to be disproportionately affected by a virus wave or a winter, yet instead the lines remain flat. These flat red lines during waves of deaths are therefore also potentially indicative of a concentration of excess deaths in the vaccinated.
The headline finding from these charts is the striking concentration of excess deaths in the vaccinated after early 2022, just as Omicron appeared. This worrying observation may be why the authorities are keeping the full data, which would confirm or rule out such a finding, firmly under wraps.

Read the article earlier. Of course Shriver is right, but she neglects to give us a suggestion about how we counter this menace, unless she just thinks that each mania will blow itself out, and eventually the behaviour of the maniacs will soften and come back to reality..?
That’s obviously her idea of it.
No, she seems to be suggesting that one mania follows rapidly on the heels of another.
Stuff like this has happened in the past: for example Tulip Mania in the 17th century when men ruined themselves to buy overpriced bulbs; and the South Sea Bubble in the 18thC when so many piled on the dodgy investment. Common sense, prudence and rational thinking were all ditched.
But those manias were largely about making money and one didn’t follow the other with such rapidity. There was no mass communication.
Beatlemania came along with mass media and TV.
In the last few decades, the internet has spread IDEAS (memes) across continents in a matter of hours and most humans are conditioned to be groupthinkers, copying each other’s behaviour.
Although I appreciate Shriver’s broad arguments, I can’t agree with her sweeping statement that ‘EVERYONE’ thinks, talks of, believes in and promotes the latest mania.
As someone who has rejected climate change, transgenderism, covidia, BLM, and me-tooism, I hope there are many, many more of us who are sceptical on a daily basis and eschew the herd mentality.
But manias today are like buses – there’ll be another one along in a minute.
The global boiling crescendo is the same people who brought us COVID — The Virus Strike Back! continuing to use their newly learnt rethoric and other tricks, especially the substitution of facts with ever more hysterical lying, for their other hobby horse. Deadly heatwave season, with weather forecast maps all in RED!!!, has apparently already been started in Germany despite real temperatures remaining in the lower 20s, coming hot after a string of Hottest ever! months, starting with (I kid you not) unusually warm snow in winter.
“all white people are genetically racist”…..Why would that then exclude black racism towards white people?
These manias as she calls them often come at a time when something else big is happening in the world and is handy to keep the plebs looking the other way.
I’ve found some mania. Not that anybody can escape maniacs and mentalists these days so it’s not exactly a challenge. Look what these entitled, narcissistic little scrotes have just done today. They’re not even bothering to hide their identities. What do you think happened to them as a result of their actions? No doubt the parents will fit the bill and say ”well done!”

Climate Catastrophism has been around a while now – since the ’70s at least. It has had various episodes, such as The Coming Ice Age, The Ozone Hole, Global Warming, Climate Disruption, etc.
I think Climate Alarmism is more of a money-driven scam by an elite rather than a mania of the masses. The Blob has found it a useful way of extracting extra tax from the populace and is keeping it going. It will lbe up to the populace to stamp it out, and there are signs (not least on the Daily Sceptic) that this is starting to happen.
I wonder if the next trend will be identifying as a different colour and ethnicity. We might all go Michael Jackson in order to get the jobs and sports scholarships allocated for those people.
Trans men are simply oddball gays or
paedos using it as cover and protection. Trans women are likewise. Gay people are often very narcissistic so being trans plays to this internal desire to be adulated
There’s a third option: They get paid for playacting something in public.
And the Putin threat mania? Once he is finished in Ukraine, he will first take Europe and then the rest of the world. Everyone to arms!
The herd is easily stampeded. It has always been this way. Just look at the toilet roll mania at the beginning of the covid scam or I can go back 60 years to bread strikes. I can also talk to the power of advertising. People of my age will remember The Golden Wonder peanut advert with the strap line “their jungle fresh”. People were coming into our shop asking for “Jungle Fresh” not simply peanuts.
But now with global connections and social media, nearly all the world goes mad together.
2016 also brought in the crazy clowns craze. Also going back a few centuries was the dancing craze.
I hope you are not referring to Brexit. The only crazy clowns between 2013, when the Referendum was announced, and 2016 when LEAVE won, were the Remainiacs. Idiots who predicted, like Chicken Licken, that the sky would fall down if we left the EU.
Crucial point: All of these manias conform to the agenda of the fashionable ruling elite. The institutions in power have every incentive to promote, support, and reward those who advance the progress of each of these trends.
