Excess deaths were back this week after a five-week hiatus – but they only disappeared due to ONS trickery in including high pandemic deaths in the baseline.
In a new ONS report on vaccine effectiveness, the statistics agency finds that even after adjustments the vaccinated die of non-Covid 50% less than the unvaccinated and admits this means its estimates are unreliable.
The new ONS data on deaths by vaccination status seem to have a bias such that deaths in the unvaccinated are more likely to be included, whereas deaths in the vaccinated and are more likely to be excluded.
The new official data on deaths by vaccination status in England were released on Tuesday and they show the vaccinated over-represented in all-cause mortality in all age groups for most of 2021 and all of 2022.
Lockdowns were responsible for thousands of alcohol deaths, new ONS data show, as the rate rises 27% on pre-pandemic levels.
Many are concerned about the high number of deaths that occurred in 2022, particularly from heart-related causes. But some have suggested these were just due to an ageing population. This is wrong.
The U.K. Statistics Regulator has said that the official ONS data on "deaths by vaccination status" are biased towards the vaccines and should not be used to assess vaccine effectiveness or safety.
Recent headlines would have us believe that 2022 was an unusually deadly year, because of a "crisis" in the NHS. As a matter of fact, 2022 was the third least-deadly year ever in England and Wales.
The ONS data on deaths by vaccination status are so flawed that they can be interpreted as telling everyone on all sides of the debate what they want to hear, say Nick Rendell and David Hawkins.
Deaths in England and Wales were a massive 20% above the 5-year average in the week ending Dec 23rd – that's 2,493 deaths, with just 308 from Covid, giving 29,880 excess non-Covid deaths since April. What's going on?
