Ireland Confirms Their Pandemic Was Just a Psy-Op

New research finds no excess deaths between 2020 - 2022

You can still go on to the Irish Covid dashboard and see the scary charts they produced to enforce lockdowns. Here is the chart for deaths by date notified.

It looks very similar to the charts produced in other countries. ‘Oh My God, deaths are spiking, let’s lock down the whole country!’

Except there was nothing exceptional about the number of deaths in Ireland. A new study undertaken by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation (OECD) examined recent mortality trends and the impact of demographic change.

The authors state that a simple comparison of the raw number of deaths with reference to a historical base period isn’t accurate because many OECD countries have undergone major changes in population size and structure due to ageing and migration. These changes have a significant bearing when comparing absolute mortality numbers.

Nearly all the OECD counties saw rapid demographic change with the size of the 65+ population increasing by 19% between 2015 and 2022. The study concludes that when adjusting for demographic change, the average adjusted increase in the number of deaths for OECD would be +5.3%.

However, looking at many individual countries, such as Ireland, they noticed that there was no increase in excess deaths.

This was because between 2016 and 2022, Ireland’s population had increased by 8% and the number of over-65s had risen by 22%. When taking these changes into account, suddenly all the scary excess deaths that kept Ireland in draconian lockdowns disappeared.

Ireland’s first lockdown in 2020 was the longest in Europe causing them to have a severe recessions and an unprecedented rise in unemployment. In the Autumn of 2020 Ireland imposed another lockdown on its citizens, followed by another on Christmas Eve. The country had draconian testing and quarantine rules, as well as vaccination passes to ensure the unclean didn’t enter indoor venues.

Today, the Irish government published a press release reflecting the findings of this new report.

Previous estimates of excess deaths during the pandemic did not take into account changes in population size and demographics.

Ireland’s total population increased by 8% between the 2016 and 2022 census while the number of people aged 65 and over increased by 22% during the same period. This is more than double the 10% increase in the EU 27 countries in the same time period.

Adjusting mortality rates to take account of these changes has shown that Ireland did not record excess mortality during 2020-2022. In fact, Ireland had a lower than expected death rate.

But you can see where this is going, can’t you?

Instead of admitting that the whole thing was a psy-op, Minister Donnelly said “I am very pleased to be able to report that Ireland’s excess mortality during the core pandemic years was the fourth lowest among OECD countries. Ireland asked a lot of its population during this time and the restrictions that were put in place had a profound impact on us all. These figures point to the success of Ireland’s public health measures, and to the strong uptake of our COVID-19 vaccination programme.”

Chief Medical Officer Professor Breda Smyth said “The population in Ireland demonstrated a strong adherence to public health measures during this time, and Ireland’s COVID-19 vaccination programme has been one of the most successful in the world, with 96% of the adult population receiving their primary vaccinations. We know that vaccines save lives, as well as preventing serious illness and hospitalisations. COVID is still with us, and immunity wanes over time, so I would like to remind all those who are eligible to top up their protection with a COVID booster this winter, as well as keeping up to date with their flu vaccine.”

Of course. It was the strict lockdowns and vaccines that ensured there were no excess deaths, not that the original numbers were cooked up nonsense.

However, when looking at deaths adjusted by age group, we can see that countries that didn’t lock down, such as Sweden, also didn’t have any excess deaths.

So it wasn’t lockdowns that saved the Irish people.

But there also clearly wasn’t a deadly virus spreading around the world. If there was, every single country, lockdowns or no lockdowns, would have had excess deaths.

To my mind, the chart above shows that excess deaths between 2020 and 2022 were a combination of bad statistics and bad healthcare. As I say, a deadly new virus would have meant that every one of those countries had excess deaths. And if the claim is that lockdowns saved everybody, fortunately Sweden followed original pandemic plans, avoided lockdowns and acts as an excellent control group.

Get ready for this to be reported positively in the media and used to claim we need harder lockdowns and more vaccinations when in fact it shows that the whole thing was a psy-op from the very beginning.
