Evidence, death after vaccination
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn’t see
(Bob Dylan)
Autopsy Proven Fatal COVID-19 Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis
https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202307.1198/v1
COVID-19 vaccines have been linked to myocarditis which in some circumstances can be fatal.
This systematic review aims to investigate potential causal links between COVID-19 vaccines and death from myocarditis using post-mortem analysis.
A systematic review of all published autopsy reports involving COVID-19 vaccination-related myocarditis
Through July 3rd, 2023.
All autopsy studies that include COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis as a possible cause of death were included
Causality in each case
Determined by three independent reviewers with cardiac pathology experience and expertise.
Results
Initially identified 1,691 studies
After screening, 14 papers, 28 autopsy cases.
(The cardiovascular system was the only organ system affected in 26 cases)
In 2 cases, myocarditis a consequence from multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS).
Number of days from last COVID-19 vaccination until death
We established that all 28 deaths were causally linked to COVID-19 vaccination by independent adjudication.
Conclusions
Temporal relationship, internal and external consistency
Deceased, with known COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis
Pathobiological mechanisms
Related excess death
Complemented with autopsy confirmation
Independent adjudication
Application of the Bradford Hill criteria
Overall epidemiology of vaccine myocarditis
suggests there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death from suspected myocarditis,
in cases where sudden, unexpected death has occurred in a vaccinated person.
Urgent investigation is required for the purpose of risk stratification, and mitigation,
in order to reduce the population occurrence of fatal COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis.
More information
Most cases had symptoms consistent with myocarditis prior to death, (chest pain, effort intolerance)
Choi et al, a 22-year-old Korean man
Autopsy showed intense inflammation and destruction of cardiac tissue including the conduction system.
Other cases had no reported symptoms before death.
Gill et al reported two boys, age 16 and 17, who died a few days after mRNA injection while asleep at home.
Autopsies revealed patchy inflammation suggesting that sudden arrhythmic death had occurred.

with estimates that 90-95% of adverse events are not reported to regulators.
In recent years evidence has emerged that adverse event reports from consumers contain information that is useful for monitoring the safety of therapeutic products, but there is low awareness of available reporting systems.

As an Australian I feel utterly let down. Grateful for WA for making this report available, but it leaves such a bad taste in the mouth to know how we were lied to. I did not want the vaccine and felt pushed from all sides to get it.
As a West Australian I can say that doctors were discouraged to report adverse events and were reprimanded if they reported too many. The red flag system in Australia took about 45mins to report and doctors were not paid to do so.
This data is absolutely doctored and controlled. I fled WA to another State with my family as soon as the unvaccinated could travel outside of the State domestically. I work in the medical field and lived in a suburb surrounded by the medical profession. The GPs who weren't afraid to report these events started getting phone calls from the Department of Health questioning their opinions and asking them to retract their reports and registrars/junior doctors working in hospitals were told to remove vaccine injury from patient notes by senior staff.
My mother was vaccine injured and did not report it to the VAERS system. I imagine others like her are part of why the US has poor data on vaccine side effects.
I live in Alberta, Canada. I worked for a group of general practitioners during the height of covid and the vaccine implementation. I can tell you first hand that the physicians I worked for purposefully did NOT report vaccine side effects regardless of their legal obligation to due so. When I inquired about it, it was strongly implied that I mind my own business.
Interesting. I am in BC and know my reported side affects were not reported as asked later and was told could not tell me and did not know who to direct me to.

Excess deaths and vaccine injuries in Australia
Senator Gerard Rennick (Queensland) in an open discussion about excess deaths and vaccine related issues in Australia.
Western Australian Vaccine Safety Surveillance – Annual Report 2021
https://www.health.wa.gov.au/~/media/Corp/Documents/Health-for/Immunisation/Western-Australia-Vaccine-Safety-Surveillance-Annual-Report-2021.pdf
Western Australia had implemented a stringent lockdown of borders and there were virtually NO cases of Covid-19 in Western Australia during 2021. The vaccine role out began February 2021. So that demonstrates the adverse reactions resulted directly from the Covid-19 vaccines and NOT the Covid-19 virus.
Is there something here for the rest of Australia and indeed the world to learn from?
Of all the adverse events following immunisation that took place in the WA population, what percentage would you estimate were actually reported to the Western Australian Vaccine Safety Surveillance (WAVSS)?
What do you think the culture was in the health care services during the vaccine role out, was it to encourage reporting of potential adverse events or was the culture to discourage reporting to WAVSS?
In WA in 2020, 2,071,167 doses of pre-covid (traditional) vaccines were given to the population as a whole, this resulted in 270 reports of adverse events following immunisation.
For the 3,948,673 COVID-19 vaccines given in 2021, there were
10,726 individual AEFI reports in 2021. (97% of these reports followed covid vaccination)
What do you think this tells us about the frequency of adverse events following covid vaccines in comparison to traditional vaccines?
This is a horrendous volume of adverse events following immunisation. Do you feel the rate of adverse events would be equally high throughout the rest of Australia? (or was WA a ‘special case’)
Total reported AEFI rate following a COVID-19 vaccine was 264.1 per 100,000 doses. For non-covid (traditional) vaccinations in WA, during the same 2021-time frame there were 11.1 events per 100,000 doses.
Why did we had to waite until July 2023 to get this data? Should this have been seen as a ‘red flag’ by the regulators contemporaneously in 2021? If so, what should they have done about the problem?
Some of the important AEFI that have been specifically monitored by the TGA-coordinated national surveillance vaccine safety program include, Anaphylaxis, Thrombosis with thrombocytopaenia syndrome (TTS), Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), Myocarditis, Pericarditis, Myopericarditis, Chest pain, Deep venous thrombosis, Pulmonary embolism and Bell’s palsy, to name but a few.
Given that we know all of this now, how should this effect the regulatory approval of the current mRNA vaccines?
In 2021 there were 1,125 appointments made at the adult vaccine safety clinic at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, up from seven appointments made in 2020.
Do you consider this level of referrals indicated the vaccines were safe?
In 2021 there were 439 appointments made at the Perth Children’s Hospital specialist immunisation clinic, up from 214 in 2020. Does this have any implications for vaccinating children with covid vaccines?

Dangerous vaccine data from Australia
Western Australian Vaccine Safety Surveillance – Annual Report 2021
https://www.health.wa.gov.au/~/media/Corp/Documents/Health-for/Immunisation/Western-Australia-Vaccine-Safety-Surveillance-Annual-Report-2021.pdf
Report describes adverse events following immunisation (AEFI)
Reported to Western Australian Vaccine Safety Surveillance (WAVSS) system
For vaccinations received in 2021.
The format of this Annual Report differs, to enable description of the impact of the program
COVID-19 vaccination started in February 2021
In 2021, Western Australia
5,756,723 vaccine doses were administered,
up from 2,071,167 in 2020.
Of this amount, 3,948,673 were COVID-19 vaccines
In 2021, a significant increase in reports of AEFI
10,726 individual AEFI reports in 2021,
up from 270 in 2020.
(200 reports from Influenza and routine vaccinations in 2021)
Of these AEFI, (adverse events following immunisation)
10,428 (97%) occurred after a COVID-19 vaccine
Similar volume of reports in the rest of Australia
(as reported by the Therapeutic Goods Administration)
https://www.tga.gov.au/resources/article?f[0]=type:189
In Western Australia
Total AEFI rate following a COVID-19 vaccine was 264.1 per 100,000 doses.
26.41 per 10 thousand
2.641 per thousand
0.241%
Non covid vaccinations, WA, 2021
11.1 events per 100,000 doses
0.0111%
Comparison with US in 2021
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System
https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/datasets.html
148.3 per 100,000 doses
Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca)
306.1 per 100,000 doses
Comirnaty (Pfizer)
244.8 per 100,000 doses
(US, 122 per 100,000)
Spikevax (Moderna)
281.4 per 100,000 doses
(US, 187 per 100,000)
Why the difference?
This likely reflects differences in the sensitivity of passive adverse event reporting systems between the two jurisdictions.
Some of the important AEFI that have been specifically monitored
TGA-coordinated national surveillance vaccine safety program
Anaphylaxis
Thrombosis with thrombocytopaenia syndrome (TTS)
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)
Myocarditis
Pericarditis
Myopericarditis
Chest pain
Deep venous thrombosis
Pulmonary embolism
Bell’s palsy
In 2021
1,125 appointments made at the adult vaccine safety clinic at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital,
up from seven in 2020.
439 appointments made at the Perth Children’s Hospital specialist immunisation clinic,
up from 214 in 2020.

Vaccine batches and adverse reactions
Batch-dependent safety of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/eci.13998
Numbers of suspected adverse events (SAEs),
after BNT612b2 mRNA vaccination in Denmark.
27 December 2020–11 January 2022, (population 5.8 million)
(According to the number of doses per vaccine batch)
Each dot represents a single vaccine batch.
By 11 November 2022 (European area)
701 million doses of Pfizer given
971,021 reports of suspected adverse effects (SAEs)
Clinical data on individual vaccine batch levels have not been reported
(batch-dependent variation in the clinical efficacy and safety of authorized vaccines would appear to be highly unlikely)
We therefore examined rates of SAEs between different BNT162b2 vaccine batches administered in Denmark
Data on all SAE cases, Danish Medical Agency (DKMA)
SAE seriousness was classified as non-serious, serious (hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, life-threatening illness, permanent disability or congenital malformation) or SAE-related d**** respectively.
Anonymized data
4,026,575 persons
52 different BNT162b2 vaccine batches
(2,340–814,320 doses per batch)
43,496 SAEs were registered in 13,635 persons
61,847 batch-identifiable SAEs,
of which 14,509 (23.5%) were classified as severe,
579 (0.9%) were SAE-related deaths

Excess heart deaths
Nearly 100,000 more deaths involving heart conditions and stroke than usual since pandemic began

Since the pandemic began
On average, over 500 additional deaths a week from cardiovascular disease
Included cardiovascular and cerebrovascular deaths
More excess deaths involving cardiovascular conditions than any other disease groups
A total of 96,540 extra cardiovascular deaths since February 2020
In the first year of the pandemic
Covid-19 infection drove high numbers of excess deaths,
Covid-19 have since fallen year-on-year,
the number of deaths involving cardiovascular disease have remained high above expected levels.
We believe that there are now other major factors likely driving the continued increase in excess deaths.
We're calling on the UK Government to take charge of the increasingly urgent cardiovascular disease crisis.
Dr Charmaine Griffiths, BHF Chief Executive
It is deeply troubling that so many more people with cardiovascular disease have lost their lives over the last three years.
For years now, it has been clear that we are firmly in the grip of a heart and stroke care emergency.
There is no time to waste – Government must take control of this crisis to give heart patients and their loved ones hope of a better and healthier future.
Latest figures
People waiting for time-sensitive cardiac care, 390,000
Average ambulance response times for heart attacks and strokes, above 30 minutes since the beginning of 2022
(December 2022 they breached 90 minutes)
Lack of primary health care
Concerns of a potential rise in heart problems linked to Covid-19
People with and without pre-existing heart conditions,
who caught Covid-19 before the vaccine roll-out, (i.e., in 2020)
40 % per cent more likely to develop cardiovascular disease,
five times more likely to die in the 18 months after infection.
BHF wants
Prioritisation of NHS heart care
Renewed focus on preventing the causes of cardiovascular disease
Supercharging cardiovascular research for new treatments and cures
Dr Sonya Babu-Narayan, (Associate Medical Director)
Covid-19 no longer fully explains the significant numbers of excess deaths involving cardiovascular disease.
Then focuses on treatment difficulties

Increased in diabetes
Incidence of Diabetes in Children and Adolescents During the COVID-19 Pandemic
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
30th June 2023
Toronto
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2806712?utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_term=063023
Key Points
Analysis of 42 studies
N = 102,984 youths (<19 years)
Incidence of type 1 diabetes was higher during the COVID-19 pandemic compared with before the pandemic.
The findings suggest the need to elucidate possible underlying mechanisms to explain temporal changes
Synthesize estimates of changes in incidence rates
Minimum observation period of 12 months during and 12 months before the pandemic
(Also looked at incidence of DKA in new-onset diabetes during the pandemic.)
Results, Type 1 diabetes incidence rates
N = 38,149 youths
First year of the pandemic, incidence rate ratio = 1.14
During months 13 to 24, incidence rate ratio = 1.27
(Expected 3% to 4% annual increase trends in Europe)
Results, Type 2 diabetes incidence rates
Ten studies reported incident in both periods.
Eight studies, an increase incident of type 2 diabetes
Results, DKA incidence rates
Fifteen studies
Incidence rate ratio = 1.26
Conclusions
Future studies are needed to assess whether this trend persists,
and may help elucidate possible underlying mechanisms to explain temporal changes.
More from the study
Some studies reported an association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and new-onset diabetes.
However, (challenges in SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis), concerns about the validity of these studies.
Data sets used in other studies did not capture asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2
There is no clear mechanism by which COVID-19 could directly or indirectly lead to new-onset type 1 or 2 diabetes.
Purported direct mechanisms
SARS-CoV-2 entry receptor ACE2 is expressed on insulin-producing β cells
There is no clear underlying mechanism explaining the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and subsequent increased risk of diabetes.
Population-based studies suggest…. that the increase in incidence may be due to an immune-mediated mechanism.
Proposed indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures that may be associated with diabetes
(contrary to what would be expected based on the decrease in viral infections among children)
‘Catch-up’ could only influence the first year of the pandemic
Reflection on yesterday’s lab leak video and biological war
As someone who has spent a number of years studying biological warfare (BW) and ways to defend against it,
I'm not convinced that the Wuhan virus was not meant to be a BW agent.
High lethality isn't necessarily required to be an effective weapon;
it just needs to be able to incapacitate a significant number of people.
The incapacitated people are no longer able to do their jobs,
and the added benefit to the employer of the weapon is that those incapacitated people now take up more resources and more people to treat them than if they died.
Also, the genetic techniques that they used,
techniques that made it difficult to identify any man-made changes,
is in line with one of the main attractions of BW - plausible deniability.

Conservative Campaign Headquarters, London
December 2020
Staffers working for recently honoured 'Lord Bailey'
Dancing and joking about defying lockdown rules
At least 24 revellers
Two dancing officials, twirling each other past signs saying 'please keep your distance'
Staff members heard laughing, hopes that they are not exposed for 'bending the rules.'
One man, 'Oh ******.'
'Are you filming this?'
'Er, it's for the party use.'
A man then laughs after declaring: 'As long as we are not streaming that we're, like, bending the rules.'
One of those captured, Ben Mallett, a senior Tory aide, awarded an OBE

On 19 December, the Prime Minister announced that a fourth tier would be introduced, following concerns about a rising number of coronavirus cases due to a new variant (what was to become known as the Alpha variant, first identified in Kent).
Questions
Were these people told things about the effectiveness (or lack of) of lockdowns the public were not told?
Were these people told things about the risks of infection (or lack of) to themselves the public were not told?
Were these people told things about anything else, and if so by whom?
Did seniors know about this party?

Heart deaths in Australia
ustralia
https://www.actuaries.digital/2023/04/06/covid-19-mortality-working-group-confirmation-of-20000-excess-deaths-for-2022-in-australia/
Excess deaths in 2022
22,000 (12%) excess deaths
(Population 26 million)
Excess mortality is widely regarded as the best measure of the overall impact of a pandemic,
since it includes deaths both directly and indirectly due to the disease.
Of the 20,200 excess deaths in 2022
10,300 deaths (51%) were from COVID-19
2,900 deaths (15%) were COVID-19 related,
(meaning that COVID-19 contributed to the death)
7,000 deaths (34%) had no mention of COVID-19 on the death certificate.
Non-COVID-19 deaths represent excess mortality of 4%,
(which is extraordinarily high in itself)
Most excess deaths were in 65+
But, excess mortality was at least 5% higher in ALL age groups
It is notable that there are excess deaths in all age groups,
and that this excess is generally significant,
even after removing COVID-19 deaths
Excess deaths higher in females than males
The differences are worth investigating,
(although the small numbers mean that there is considerable natural variation)
Excess mortality in all States
WA excess deaths were delayed due to late reopening
Many more deaths from IHD
Ischaemic heart disease
Much higher number of deaths than expected from IHD
(despite continued deaths from dementia)
Deaths from respiratory disease have been significantly lower than expected throughout the pandemic

British civil service, secretive government unit
Flagged critics of lockdown and pandemic policy
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/counter-disinformation-unit-open-source-information-collection-and-analysis-privacy-notice/counter-disinformation-unit-open-source-information-collection-and-analysis-privacy-notice
A secretive government Covid unit (CDU),
(A cell within government)
accused of seeking to supress free speech
“hourly” contact with social media firms
The civil servant in charge, Sarah Connolly, pandemic and now
(previously job, anti-terror policies for the Home Office)
one of the Counter Disinformation Unit’s main functions “passing information over”
Facebook and Twitter
“encourage the swift takedown” of posts
CDU worked with social media, to curtail discussion of controversial lockdown policies
“almost all” social media platforms,
discussions were “daily, sometimes hourly”.
“If somebody from the cell says: ‘We are worried about this,’
that goes immediately to the top of the pile.
Whoever it is in whatever company.”
“big” function, “talking to social media platforms and passing information over.
It gets information back from them,
and encourages that swift takedown –
the swift dealing with the platforms.
The cell has daily interactions with almost all the platforms”.
David Davis
“Early on, during the early part of the Covid pandemic, I began to worry that we weren’t really making decisions on science,”
“A lot of the arguments at the time were not really between science and non-science.
They were between authority and non-authority.”
Whitehall is all about control of information.
Information is power.
They know that so they tend to hoard it for themselves.
Monitored and comments were logged by CDU
Now DD called for the CDU to be shut,
and for a parliamentary committee to investigate
“most paranoid wing of Government is interfering in the democratic process”
“There would be a limit to what they could do 25 years ago...
The trouble today is we don’t know what the algorithms do.
We have no idea what deal they’ve struck with Google or Twitter or whoever.
And that’s a really serious influence on debate, not just in Britain, but across the entire world.”
Parliamentary inquiry with the “biggest combination of power, access and speed” now needed
BBC, accused of acting as “the broadcast arm of the Government”
Now
Growing speculation CDU may have links to intelligence
The Government confirmed last night
Social media firms, taken action on more than 90% of referrals
Deleted or using algorithms to get low views
Seems to have been another group;
Counter-Disinformation Policy Forum
A group, which included a member of BBC staff, tech companies, academics, lobby groups.
‘Climate of fear’ over anti-Government reporting at BBC
Current and former BBC staff
In those who suggested BBC reporting lacked balance
branded “dissenters”.
CDU takes a broad view of what qualifies as disinformation.
Mrs Connolly, addressing MPs
the most concerning types of anti-vaccine material included discussions about side-effects and the speed of production
Connolly took control like a ‘puppeteer’
A revolving door of culture secretaries
Rapid succession of ministers
Lack of oversight from No 10
Government sources
“As a hard-working civil servant, she’s an impartial adviser – not a puppeteer,”
Social media posts, CDU and Rapid Response Unit
Dr. Alexandre de Figueiredo, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,
argued against mass vaccination of children against
Questions about CDU
Budget
Number of workers
Use of external AI firms
List of people targeted
A Government spokesman
“When referrals were made during Covid, over 90% of them were ultimately found to be in breach of terms of service.”
Facebook owner Meta
Does not “allow false claims about the vaccines or vaccination programmes which public health experts have advised us could lead to Covid-19 vaccine rejection.
This includes false claims about the safety, efficacy, ingredients, development, existence or conspiracies related to the vaccine or vaccination programme”.

Current advice on vitamin D
In the UK during autumn and winter everyone is advised to take a supplement containing 10 micrograms (400 international units) of vitamin D a day to support general health and in particular bone and muscle health. This is because we cannot make vitamin D from sunlight at this time of year.

WHO’s digital power grab
WHO’s Global Digital Health Certification Network
https://www.who.int/initiatives/global-digital-health-certification-network
WHO has established the Global Digital Health Certification Network (GDHCN).
Open-source platform, built on robust & transparent standards,
that establishes the first building block of digital public health infrastructure,
for developing a wide range of digital products,
for strengthening pandemic preparedness
Background
Member States used digital COVID-19 test and vaccine certificates
As the directing and coordinating authority on international health work, at the onset of the pandemic,
WHO engaged with all WHO Regions to define overall guidance for such certificates and published the Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates
https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/WHO-2019-nCoV-Digital_certificates-vaccination-2021.1
https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/WHO-2019-nCoV-Digital_certificates_diagnostic_test_results-2022.1
there is a recognition of an existing gap,
and continued need for a global mechanism,
that can support bilateral verification of the provenance of health documents
The GDHCN may include
Digitisation of the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, verification of prescriptions across borders
International Patient Summary
Verification of vaccination certificates within and across borders
Certification of public health professionals (through WHO Academy)
Expanding such digital solutions will be essential to deliver better health for people across the globe.
The GDHCN has been designed to be interoperable with other existing regional networks
EU-WHO digital partnership
https://www.who.int/news/item/05-06-2023-the-european-commission-and-who-launch-landmark-digital-health-initiative-to-strengthen-global-health-security
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBcC_QMwhg8
https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/coronavirus-response/safe-covid-19-vaccines-europeans/eu-digital-covid-certificate_en
WHO and the European Commission have agreed to partner in digital health.
This partnership will work to technically develop the WHO system with a staged approach to cover additional use cases,
In June 2023, WHO will take up the European Union (EU) system of digital COVID-19 certification to establish a global system,
that will help facilitate global mobility
This is the first building block of the WHO Global Digital Health Certification Network (GDHCN)
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
WHO aims to offer all WHO Member States access,
On the principles of equity, innovation, transparency and data protection and privacy
Stella Kyriakides, Commissioner for Health and Food Safety
This partnership is an important step for the digital action plan of the EU Global Health Strategy,
we contribute to digital health standards and interoperability globally
Thierry Breton, Commissioner for Internal Market
The EU certificate … has also facilitated international travel and tourism
I am pleased that the WHO will build on …. cutting-edge technology … to create a global tool against future pandemics
One of the key elements in the European Union’s work against the COVID-19 pandemic has been digital COVID-19 certificates.
WHO will facilitate this process globally under its own structure … allow the world to benefit from convergence of digital certificates.
Expanding such digital solutions will be essential to deliver better health for citizens across the globe.
The WHO and the European Commission will work together to encourage maximum global uptake and participation.

Lockdowns, a global policy failure
Lockdowns were a costly failure
COVID-19 lockdowns were ‘a global policy failure of gigantic proportions’
5th June 2023 update
https://iea.org.uk/publications/did-lockdowns-work-the-verdict-on-covid-restrictions/
Previous January 2022 publication
https://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/iae/files/2022/01/A-Literature-Review-and-Meta-Analysis-of-the-Effects-of-Lockdowns-on-COVID-19-Mortality.pdf
Systematic review and meta-analysis
Published by Institute of Economic Affairs (London)
Did lockdowns, (Covid restrictions, social distancing measures etc.)
Effect COVID-19 mortality, based on empirical evidence.
Systematic search and screening procedure
19,646 studies identified
32 studies qualified.
Of those, 22 studies could convert for meta- analysis.
22 studies based on actual, measured mortality data,
not results derived from modelling.
Stringency index studies
(when compared to less strict lockdown policies e.g. Sweden)
Average lockdown in Europe and the United States,
in the spring of 2020,
only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 3.2%
This translates into
Approximately 6,000 avoided deaths in Europe,
and 4,000 in the United States.
Shelter-in-place-order (SIPO)
Relatively ineffective in the spring of 2020,
reducing COVID-19 mortality by 2.0%
4,000 avoided deaths in Europe,
and 3,000 in the United States.
Specific NPIs
Spring of 2020
Reduced COVID-19 mortality by 10.7%
(significantly less than estimates produced by epidemiological modelling)
That’s approximately 23,000 avoided deaths in Europe,
and 16,000 in the United States.
Imperial College of London’s modelling exercises
(March 2020), predicted lockdowns would save over 400,000 lives in the United Kingdom,
and over 2 million lives in the United States
In comparison, annual flu deaths
Approximately 72,000 flu deaths in Europe,
and 38,000 flu deaths in the United States
England and Wales, 18,500–24,800 flu deaths
When checked for potential biases, our results are robust.
Our results are also supported by the natural experiments we have been able to identify.
The results of our meta-analysis support the conclusion that lockdowns in the spring of 2020 had a negligible effect on COVID-19 mortality.
This result is consistent with the view that voluntary changes in behaviour,
such as social distancing, did play an important role in mitigating the pandemic.
Voluntary measures, effectively reduced COVID mortality in Sweden
(consistent with evidence early in the pandemic that voluntary action began reducing transmission before lockdowns)
This negative conclusion is amplified by significant economic and social costs
Stunted economic growth
Large increases in public debt
Rising inequality
Damage to children’s education and health
Reduced health-related quality of life
Increased crime
Threats to democracy and loss of freedom
(Covid Disinformation Unit, 77 Brigade)
Damage to mental health
https://digital.nhs.uk/services/organisation-data-service/export-data-files/csv-downloads/office-for-national-statistics-data
Conclusion
Unless substantial alternative evidence emerges, lockdowns should be ‘rejected out of hand’ to control future pandemics.
The science of lockdowns is clear; the data are in:
the deaths saved were a drop in the bucket compared to the staggering collateral costs imposed.
Professor Lars Jonung, Sweden, Lund University
“This study is the first all-encompassing evaluation of the research on the effectiveness of mandatory restrictions on mortality,”
“It demonstrates that lockdowns were a failed promise.
They had negligible health effects but disastrous economic, social and political costs to society.
Most likely lockdowns represent the biggest policy mistake in modern times.”
Jonas Herby, Copenhagen
“Numerous misleading studies,
driven by subjective models and overlooking significant factors like voluntary behaviour changes,
heavily influenced the initial perception of lockdowns as highly effective measures.
Our meta-analysis suggests that when researchers account for additional variables,
such as voluntary behaviour, the impact of lockdowns becomes negligible.”
Professor Steve H. Hanke, Johns Hopkins University
“When it comes to COVID, epidemiological models have many things in common: dubious assumptions, hair-raising predictions of disaster that miss the mark, and few lessons learned.
“The science of lockdowns is clear; the data are in: the lives saved were a drop in the bucket compared to the staggering collateral costs imposed.”
