Could Bradford Hill criteria help?

The larger the association, the more likely that it is causal.

Consistent findings observed by different persons in different places

Lack of alternative explanations

The effect has to occur after the cause

Greater exposure should generally lead to greater incidence of the effect.

A plausible mechanism between cause and effect is helpful

Coherence between epidemiological and laboratory findings increases the likelihood of an effect.

Occasionally it is possible to appeal to experimental evidence

Analogies or similarities between the observed association and any other associations.

Sometimes, reversibility

CHECKED about 1.5 hours ago to see if the 10 May 2023 ONS numbers were already online. They were indeed, maybe around 9:30AM.

What does the latest data tell us? Compare 2019 deaths count:

Now watch this year:

Focus on week 17, the latest on record. From 10,059 deaths in 2019 it rose to about 12.2k in the same week of this year, yet WHO tells us pandemic stuff matters no more and it’s time to get back to “normal”. Don’t listen to WHO. Rely on data, not bureaucrats and politicians who masquerade as health experts.

England and Wales death totals by week:

urther to what I published on Wednesday, here’s a breakdown of increase in deaths by age group, debunking the notion that it is impacting only very old people.

The number on the left is the total deaths for week 16 (latest on record) in 2019, compared to the same week in 2023 (shown on the right below), i.e. last month:

For ages 15-45, 321 compared to 251: 28% increase in fatalities
For ages 45-64, 1478 compared to 1100: 34.4% increase in fatalities
For ages 65-74, 1878 compared to 1446: 30% increase in fatalities

Seems like a national health crisis, but the media hardly talks about it, so let’s pretend it’s not happening.

2019:

And now:

COVID-19 isn’t over. It never was over.

HAVE just checked again and new numbers, for week 13 at least, came out this morning, 5 days after the last time. The numbers are astonishing as they show 2,000+ more deaths than the 5-year average (including pandemic years).

So for a single week, week 13, we’ve leapt from 9,580 to to 11,584 deaths (+2,004).

Compared to 2019:

Some new numbers this morning^*.

2019^***: 10,402 deaths
2014-19 average^***: 10,456 deaths
2022^**: 10,747 deaths
2023^**: 12,052 deaths

(12052-10402)/10402*100=15.86.

_____
^* As per 9:40 AM (earlier than 10, the usual time). Was supposed to be out on Tuesday, but this time it got delayed till 13 April 2023 (due to Easter/Bank Holiday).

‘ve just published some hard data to show how deaths have soared this year, probably in relation to the neglect of COVID-19 response. Institutions and media compel us to think that COVID-19 is a “thing of the past” or old news while publicly-available data shows alarming numbers, including total mortality across all age groups (it’s up sharply).

Media gaslighting won’t be the solution to all this. We need proper research and real, hard answers.
