News Round-Up

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?
Correlation isn't causation. But the correlations keep cropping up and the causal mechanisms are known. The possibility the vaccines are involved in some of the thousands of recent excess deaths must be taken seriously.
Why have our authorities never apologised to all those who took the experimental vaccines only ‘to protect others’ by achieving a herd immunity that never came?
A striking correlation has appeared between excess deaths and autumn Covid booster doses in England, raising new questions of safety as total non-Covid excess deaths hit 23,287 since April.
There have been 21,238 excess non-Covid deaths registered in England and Wales in the 25 weeks since April 23rd, according to the latest official ONS data. This is 9% higher than average.
A study finally looks at all-cause deaths by vaccination status. The results are incredible, that is to say, not credible: a 71% cut in total deaths from a fourth dose, even though Covid deaths are just 8% of the total.
Brace for panic as England's autumn Covid wave begins, with figures showing both infections and virus admissions to hospital starting to surge and patients up 48% in a week.
When one set of data reflects badly on the vaccines, their defenders claim a 'healthy vaccinee' effect. When another shows the vaccinated dying more, they cry 'unhealthy vaccinee'. Can they make up their minds?
