Excess Deaths in the Spotlight Once Again

by Dr Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson
8 June 2024 7:00 AM

This week, David Davis MP tweeted that “the potential link between Covid vaccines and excess deaths needs to be properly investigated”. Now, David may be looking for last-minute votes, but he’s forgetting that the current Government has already refused to look into the issue.

Due to our frustration with the lack of interest in excess deaths, we launched TTE In August 2022, publishing ‘Why it’s Time to Investigate Excess Deaths in England and Wales‘. The signals in the data suggested something wasn’t quite right: excess deaths were 18% above the five-year average.  

By mid-October, deaths were still 17% above the average. Therese Coffey, the new Health Secretary, was in post, but she remained ignorant. 

But in January 2023, Steve Barclay, the Health Secretary, woke up to the issue. He told Sky News that “it’s extremely complicated as to what the drive of those excess deaths are” and called the year-ending report of the excess deaths “concerning.” Even Owen Jones was aware of the issue: he thought “the excess death rate” was at a “disastrous high”.

The Government’s Chief Medical Officer – remember him – considered excess deaths were due to a lack of access to cardiovascular drugs, blood pressure monitoring and cancer services. As we reported, the first two were evidence-free statements. 

In May 2023, we published our most-read post of all time: ‘Breaking news: His Majesty’s Government is not going to investigate excess deaths.’

The Right Hon. Esther McVey MP continued to ask questions, prompting routine escape and evasion answers from HMG. Along with TTE’s favourite friend, Mr. O’Brien MP, HMG announced it has no intention of investigating the causes of excess mortality in England and Wales.

The dial is slowly shifting. Last month, the Australian Senate voted to investigate excess deaths. This week, the Telegraph broke ranks to question whether Covid vaccines could be partly to blame for the rise in excess deaths since the pandemic — reports of more than three million excess deaths across Europe, the U.S. and Australia since 2020. As we have consistently reported, the rollout of lockdowns and vaccines did not halt the trend.

Suddenly, it’s okay to question the vaccine narrative. The Lancet estimated that vaccinations prevented 19·8 million excess deaths. Mathematical modelling should not be used to justify the policy — the latest report shows the numbers don’t add up.

We’ve continued to bang on about excess deaths: the overcrowded TTE office staff count 35 posts in all with the term ‘excess mortality’. We plan to continue, as it’s unclear if the next Government will take up the mantle or whether there will be more escape and evasion at Westminster.

Keep fighting. All quackcines are poisoned toxins. The Corona plandemic, the Medical Nazism program had nothing to do with your health. If the death rate was the same as the flu, the quackcines by default could not have ‘saved’ more than 15.000 to 25.000 lives p.a. in the UK. The fact that 200.000 excess deaths are on record since Dec 2020 means quite clearly that the poisons are to blame and they saved no one. And that is just the beginning. Cancers etc continue to spread. In real life correlation indicates a causation. Unless you are criminal or stupid.

Recognising patterns (excess deaths for eg and correlated variables) is a sign of intelligence.

I’m convinced Covid vaccine deaths and ill health has been categorised as a matter of National Security. This gives the Government the authority to censor all discussion on the matter.

According to the ‘impartial, accurate and fair’ BBC Radio 4’s More or Less statistics programme, and ‘Stuart McDonald, Chair of the Covid-19 Actuaries Response Group, and a friend of the programme’:

“There are no excess deaths.’

Between 8.35 and 10.20 minutes:

BBC More or Less in the radio yesterday denied any excess deaths. They failed to remind listeners how the ONS changed how they calculate excess deaths!

The best vaccine strategy is to avoid them for any future plandemic. Has he not been talking to his old mate Andrew Bridgen?

And to think, there wasn’t even a pandemic in the first place.

On the Owen Jones Guardian link, this was at the bottom of the page

“This is what we’re up againstTeams of lawyers from the rich and powerful trying to stop us publishing stories they don’t want you to see. 
Lobby groups with opaque funding who are determined to undermine facts about the climate emergency and other established science. 
Authoritarian states with no regard for the freedom of the press.
Bad actors spreading disinformation online to undermine democracy. 
***
But we have something powerful on our side. 
We’ve got you”……Oh the irony!

To end the debate on whether excess death is a real phenomenon, just ask life insurance companies whether they are paying out more than they expected on their policies. Their skilled actuaries would have the data, unless they are told not to share their information. A relative is an actuary who says that her firm is paying out much more than expected. My insurance agent acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about when I asked if his firm had seen more payouts than expected. To extend my husband’s life insurance term without a medical exam will cost us four times what we had been paying for less coverage. I feel somewhat ghoulish even thinking about renewing the term insurance, as he’s been multiply jabbed.

The level of debilitation that we see around us is palpable. WIth some it is just lack of energy and lacklustre performance, with others they seem to be having cognitive and emotional difficulties and of course people getting bouts of recurring sickness with shorter and shorter intervals between them. That is before you even consider the serious stuff never mind the deaths. The aggregate of all of these effects can only have a catastrophic effect on the wellbeing of a society and its economy. And then consider the huge rise in the cost of caring for the injured. We are only about three years from ground zero. Who knows that comes next. The cancer epidemic is already here; dementia patients have detoriorated dreadfully in the last four years. And this pathogen isn’t something that disappears. It doesn’t just stay with us forever. It stays with us forever and gets worse and worse and it does so because of our actions.

Time for the DS to investigate whether the huge increase in bacterial infections is actually viral sepsis – a new variant of Covid19 – something that happens when you vaccinate during a pandemic and destroy people’s immune systems.
