20 Million Non-Covid Excess Deaths - The MSM Starts to Report on the Pandemic of Ill Health

72,000 Excess Deaths in 1.5 Years in the UK

I have been writing about excess deaths in the UK for well over a year now but it seems the death toll is getting too high for the MSM to ignore anymore.

The Times reports that ‘Hundreds more middle-aged adults dying a month since Covid pandemic’. By using the word ‘hundreds’ they are minimising the reaction someone has when skimming the headlines. If instead, the headline said 72,000 Excess Deaths in a Year and a Half, a greater proportion of readers would think ‘bloody hell, what’s going on here’!

But they don’t want that reaction, they want to slowly drip feed into the public consciousness that excess deaths are high and will likely stay high for the foreseeable future.

Dig deeper into the article and the Times reports that ‘in 2022 deaths were 7.2 per cent higher than the average over the previous five years, meaning 42,255 people died unexpectedly. For the first six months of 2023, deaths have been 8.6 per cent higher than normal, equivalent to more than 1,000 extra deaths a week’. That comes to a total of 28,000 for the half year.

In reality, the amount of excess deaths in 2023 in much higher because of the way that the ONS have calculated the five year average. Instead of using pre-Covid years, as was done for the 2022 average, they now include the pandemic years, when excess deaths were higher than usual anyway. But even with this new five-year calculation, excess deaths are still on track to exceed 2022’s total.

The Times article follows on from another article written by Yvonne Doyle who led Public Health England during the pandemic. This became the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) in 2021. Doyle wrote her article to say that an unhealthy society is more vulnerable to a new pandemic.

She reports that, as we all know, the excess deaths are not a UK phenomenon. “More people are dying since 2020. The prime driver of this has not been Covid-19”, she writes. “Even in the pandemic other causes of death were more common. The World Health Organisation has confirmed 6.99 million deaths from Covid to this month while global excess deaths over the same period are estimated to be over 27 million.”

20 Million excess deaths that, even with the dodgy Covid accounting, aren’t attributed to Covid! Astonishing figure! That should be on the front pages of every newspaper all round the world. But of course it won’t be.

Doyle says that “these deaths represent an underlying pandemic of ill health. They are driven by highly preventable conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and cirrhosis caused by lifestyle choices. They mainly occur at home now. Unless access to preventive and early treatment improves, these causes of death will continue, and be joined by cancer”.

Lifestyle choices…

She correctly highlights that the current Covid Inquiry is focussing on tactical decision making by political leaders rather than how the health of society has been affected by those decisions. Doyle adds that “there is also a large economic impact to these health trends. Avoidable ill health costs the UK hundreds of billions of pounds every year. Unhealthy lifestyle is strongly associated with early avoidable disability, inability to work, demand on the NHS and dependence on social support.”

The Covid Inquiry is set to run until at least 2026 and is likely to cost over £150 million. What a waste of money, especially when we can already see the direction it is taking - lockdowns should have been harder and started sooner. So far there has been no analysis on why lockdowns were ever instigated in the first place or the damage they caused.

A great example of this is when current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, was being questioned and he brought up Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY). This is a measurement used to assess the value of medical interventions and is used to quantify the benefit of a medical procedure or treatment. Usually, in the NHS, this figure is around £16,000, meaning that it is willing to pay for a treatment that provides one additional year of healthy life under this threshold. During the pandemic, this figure rose to £1,000,000 per Covid patient. Yes, you read that correctly, one million pounds. However, when Sunak tried to raise this issue, the barrister shot him down and said they didn’t want to discuss that.

The Times article also discusses the disturbing trend that excess deaths are concentrated in middle-aged and younger adults. “Over the past year, deaths have been 15 per cent above normal in those aged 50 to 64. Deaths from cardiovascular disease such as heart attack and stroke are 33 per cent higher among this age group, with diabetes deaths also up by 35 per cent”.

It says that long ambulance delays and intense pressures in A&E have reduced survival chances from emergencies such as heart attacks and strokes. They also point out that disruption to GP services meant people missed out on treatment for chronic diseases.

“Unhealthy diets, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and physical inactivity are the biggest drivers of mortality and morbidity in the UK and globally”, Dr Jonathan Pearson-Stuttard, chairman of the Royal Society for Public Health said.

He’s basically trying to shift the blame and say it’s all your fault.

The Covid Inquiry should shift its attention to focussing on the damages of lockdowns and why they should never, ever happen again. However, the ever present elephant in the room that we must not discuss, is that the majority of the population was injected with a novel vaccine/gene therapy (whatever you want to call it). Let’s have an inquiry examining whether this is partly/fully to blame for excess deaths and poor health.

This won’t ever happen though. Because if it did, three-quarters of the population would start panicking that they had potentially injected themselves with a ticking time bomb. Hopefully they haven’t but that is what we should be investigating, not blindly ignoring the biggest medical intervention in human history.
