    Professor Eyal Shahar 
    As far as I can tell from epidemiology textbooks on my bookshelf, matters have not improved much in the past two decades. Although many authors teach how to compute standardized rates (or probabilities), they don’t solidly explain why the difference between, and the ratio of, two standardized measures of frequency are unconfounded measures of association. Nor do they explain the arbitrary choice of a standard population, and how to reconcile different estimated effects from an infinite number of possible “standards”.

    Most Important Dataset of the Pandemic was Just Released

    Dr. Robert Malonecalls this the most important dataset of the Pandemic.

    Tom Lausen is a data activist. Via A Midwestern Doctor Lausen previously revealed the PEI and the RKI (the German equivalent of the CDC) were concealing concerning vaccine safety data.

    Lausen estimated that 90% of the suspicious deaths that occur after vaccination are not reported to the PEI, and approximately 90% of those reported come from the patient themselves or their relative

    The Gateway Pundit previously reported that German data analyst Tom Lausen held a conference last week in the Bundestag to discuss the massive rise in people who died “suddenly and unexpectedly” after the Covid vaccine rollout.

    Only one mainstream journalist was present during the press conference.

    Excess mortality across the border. With our calculation model we can do a good prognosis for over mortality based on the number of corona vaccinations.

    Article Summary

    Last week we posted an article describing how we can predict “unexplained excess mortality” using a model. The question then came to us was whether this model is also capable of predicting excess mortality abroad. This turns out to be successful and is what we describe here now.

    The Netherlands Deceased 1995 – 2020

    The year 2020 was not the year of a killer virus!

    Netherlands 1995-2020 comparing 3 age-groups

    80 plus, 65-80 and <65 years; 1995-2020 year by year comparison.
    All numbers downloaded from the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) database here. The date-stamp on the data is Jan 29, 2021.

    Comparing a dynamic group with absolute numbers, in my view, is a mis-interpretation of the real situation and not a realistic representation. You use these numbers for decision making in a “crisis’ for the purpose of a balanced risk assessment. The reaction to this pandemic is not one of balanced risk assessment but one of worst-case-thinking. Please read “WHO Bulletin 2011 – Health is more than influenza” in this blog-post and you’ll see that we have not learned anything from the past.

    Of-course 2020 has a number of deceased greater than 1950! A population of 17.4 million compared to 10.0 million! 

    Compare the age-group 80+, 2015 <> 2020; 734.976 <> 822.088. 
    Not to mention the number of people that represent 95+ years of age. With an average age of 83 years in the netherlands and a continues growing population of 80+ you do expect people to die reaching 80+.

    Focus 80+ 
    2014 was the year with the lowest deceased percentage since 1995, 10.56%. The year 2000 was the worst with 13.24% deceased in the 80plus age-group. 
    The percentage for 2020 is: 11.64%. Does this percentage represent a crisis caused by a killer virus?

    Focus <65 
    In 2020 this age-group represents 81% of the Dutch population. The total number of deceased is the lowest number (not %) since 1995, except for 2019. In 2020, a total of +713 people deceased, compared to 2019. Representing an increase of 0,004% with an age-group growth of 0,334%. 

    I try to present numbers that are easy to digest. Simple honest numbers that represent the reality! Why do we read fear-mongering headlines in our newspapers, especially the so cold main stream newspapers!? Why do we not hear about these numbers on the Dutch news channels!?

    Auch in den Niederlanden tobte die Mikrobe. Man hat mit unterschiedlichen Maßnahmen eine Eindämmung versucht. Gegenwärtig hören wir an dieser Stelle leider immer mehr über Ausschreitungen und Gewalt. Wir möchten an dieser Stelle zum Frieden aufrufen und mit unseren Zahlen einen rationalen Ansatz bieten, Menschen zu überzeugen, die noch nicht erkennen konnten, in welchem Kontext diese Zahlen zu bewerten sind.

    The microbe also raged in the Netherlands. Various measures have been taken to try to contain it. At the moment we are unfortunately hearing more and more about riots and violence at this point. At this point we would like to call for peace and with our numbers offer a rational approach to convince people who have not yet been able to recognize the context in which these numbers are to be evaluated.

    Press conference on vaccination consequences! – Martin Sichert – AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag!

    Deepl German <> English

    Since the start of Corona vaccination, the population has shown drastic changes in disease patterns and deaths.

    This is the result of data from the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV), which Martin Sichert was able to evaluate exclusively together with data expert Tom Lausen and which will be presented at the press conference.

    Patient data of the Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung (KBV) on side effects of the Corona vaccinations provide frightening findings: With the start of Corona mass vaccinations, the number of those who died “suddenly and unexpectedly” jumped more than fourfold compared to previous years. In each quarter, beginning with the first quarter of 2021, more sudden and unexpected deaths were recorded by panel physicians than in any total year from 2016 to 2020.

    Germany 2020-2022 Estimation of Excess Mortality

    10.7759/cureus.39371
    Kuhbandner C, Reitzner M (May 23, 2023) Estimation of Excess Mortality in Germany During 2020-2022. Cureus 15(5): e39371. doi:10.7759/cureus.39371

    Abstract

    Background
    This study estimates the burden of COVID-19 on mortality in Germany. It is expected that many people have died because of the new COVID-19 virus who otherwise would not have died. Estimating the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality by the number of officially reported COVID-19-related deaths has been proven to be difficult due to several reasons. Because of this, a better approach, which has been used in many studies, is to estimate the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic by calculating the excess mortality for the pandemic years. An advantage of such an approach is that additional negative impacts of a pandemic on mortality are covered as well, such as a possible pandemic-induced strain on the healthcare system.

    Methods
    To calculate the excess mortality in Germany for the pandemic years 2020 to 2022, we compare the reported number of all-cause deaths (i.e., the number of deaths independently of underlying causes) with the number of statistically expected all-cause deaths. For this, the state-of-the-art method of actuarial science, based on population tables, life tables, and longevity trends, is used to estimate the expected number of all-cause deaths from 2020 to 2022 if there had been no pandemic.

    Results
    The results show that the observed number of deaths in 2020 was close to the expected number with respect to the empirical standard deviation; approximately 4,000 excess deaths occurred. By contrast, in 2021, the observed number of deaths was two empirical standard deviations above the expected number and even more than four times the empirical standard deviation in 2022. In total, the number of excess deaths in the year 2021 is about 34,000 and in 2022 about 66,000 deaths, yielding a cumulated 100,000 excess deaths in both years. The high excess mortality in 2021 and 2022 was mainly due to an increase in deaths in the age groups between 15 and 79 years and started to accumulate only from April 2021 onward. A similar mortality pattern was observed for stillbirths with an increase of about 9.4% in the second quarter and 19.4% in the fourth quarter of the year 2021 compared to previous years.

    Conclusions
    These findings indicate that something must have happened in spring 2021 that led to a sudden and sustained increase in mortality, although no such effects on mortality had been observed during the early COVID-19 pandemic so far. Possible influencing factors are explored in the discussion.

    Impffolgen: German vaccine damage from official sources

    With the latest figures from Germany, a turning point has been reached: we can now really speak of vaccination damage and vaccination deaths.

    The circumstantial evidence is now piled up sky high, only the corpus delicti is still missing: the data manipulation, data concealment, misrepresentation, whatever you want to call it.

    Our governments have that data in their hands. Only those can provide hard evidence that the vaccinations have nothing to do with tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths in the Netherlands.

    The Many Ways “Excess Deaths” (“Överdödlighet”) can fool you

    In these Covid-times, traditional media, as well as various social media warriors, like to present “Excess Deaths” 2020, to either boost or downplay the severity of Covid-19.

    However, the question one should always ask when seeing these articles/posts on “Excess Deaths” is:

    Excess to what, exactly….?

    If you want to draw any meaningful conclusions about the impact of Covid on deaths, you simply can’t take whatever number some analysis presents as “Excess Deaths” as gospel, at least not before you truly understand how that “Excess” is defined, and what the baseline is, how that baseline has been established.

    New Actuarial Report Reaffirms the Trail of Death Caused by Vaccine Mandates

    The Vigilant Fox Aug 20, 2022

    Back in March, Edward Dowd dropped a bomb using the CDC’s own data to show an 84% increase in excess mortality among the millennial cohort, temporally related to the introduction of vaccine mandates from the summer into the fall.

    Our World in Data – Excess mortality during the Coronavirus pandemic

    On this page we provide an overview of excess mortality along with charts to explore the data. You can learn in more depth about different measures of excess mortality, their strengths and limitations, and their comparability across countries in our work with John Muellbauer and Janine Aron.

    Excess mortality is a term used in epidemiology and public health that refers to the number of deaths from all causes during a crisis above and beyond what we would have expected to see under ‘normal’ conditions.1 In this case, we’re interested in how the number of deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic compares to the deaths we would have expected had the pandemic not occurred — a crucial quantity that cannot be known but can be estimated in several ways.

    Excess mortality is a more comprehensive measure of the total impact of the pandemic on deaths than the confirmed COVID-19 death count alone. It captures not only the confirmed deaths, but also COVID-19 deaths that were not correctly diagnosed and reported2 as well as deaths from other causes that are attributable to the overall crisis conditions.3

    Excess deaths associated with covid-19 pandemic in 2020: age and sex disaggregated time series analysis in 29 high income countries

    Different countries have experienced very different numbers of excess deaths.
    Our study adds important insights on the direct and indirect effects of the covid-19 pandemic on total mortality.

    It underscores the importance of availability of age and sex disaggregated data for more nuanced analysis and estimation of the direct and indirect effect of the pandemic.

    A lack of detailed data from lower and middle income countries, especially those in Asia and Africa, calls for a globally coordinated effort to improve the local capacity in collecting and reporting critical vital statistics data promptly to aid evidence based healthcare policy decisions.

    This study provides a detailed and robust assessment of the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on total mortality up to the point that mass vaccination programmes started to become widely available throughout these countries.

    Future work will be needed to understand the impact of national vaccination programmes on mortality in 2021. https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n1137
