April 14th COVID average deaths per day fell below 200 per day, the lowest point since the pandemic began three years ago. June 3rd there was another milestone as deaths fell below 100 per day. This summer is the first there has been no significant bump in the numbers (last August deaths rose to more than 500 per day, and it was far more in 2020 and 2021). COVID is no longer a serious threat today, but, on the other hand, it has killed 2,000 Americans each of the last two months.
The CDC continues to issue warnings as there are fluctuations (as I suppose they should):
“After roughly six, seven months of steady declines, things are starting to tick back up again,” Dr. Brendan Jackson, the CDC’s COVID-19 incident manager, tells NPR.
“We’ve seen the early indicators go up for the past several weeks, and just this week for the first time in a long time we’ve seen hospitalizations tick up as well,” Jackson says. “This could be the start of a late summer wave.”
COVID has not been a significant public health issue for eighteen months. The increase this Summer is minor, the average having crept back to 109 deaths per day as of August 2. We need to put this increase into the proper perspective.
Excess Deaths
Two months ago in a COVID retrospective, I noted despite this marked decline in COVID deaths in 2022 and 2023, deaths were higher than expected everywhere around the world:
Deaths in the UK and Finland are up 9% in 2022, Hungary and Scotland are up 16%, Ireland is up 19%, Poland is up 22%, France is up 25%, Denmark is up 30%, , Netherlands is up 36%, and Germany is up 44% in 2022. Only one European country, Romania, is down (4%). New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, and the USA are also up. Death numbers are up all over the world despite the decline of COVID. The vaccine is one commonality for all these countries.
Deaths increased in 2020 and 2021 because of COVID itself, but the last eighteen months deaths should have returned to the mean. Why has it taken so long for deaths to return to normal levels? What is the other new cause for these excess deaths? Furthermore, these excess deaths are from non-respiratory diseases, ruling out an impact from lingering COVID cases. We survived COVID, but what is the new factor now killing folks?
The last eighteen months, we also continue to see very young, very healthy athletes dying or being serious stricken from heart conditions. Such incidents have not been unknown in the past, but the numbers are way out of line from the occasional, unexpected one-off we might have seen previously. Could this uptick be related to the COVID vaccines?
His [Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin] near death was never officially linked to COVID vaccines and Hamlin himself didn’t make the connection, but so many other young healthy athletes had similar experiences last year. Hamlin survived because he received immediate medical attention; others did not. I shared concerns last fall (elusive-covid-truth-basic-data-tells-the-true-story) Months later, I listed case after case after case of young athletes dropping dead or collapsing vsafe-rising-excess-deaths-and-athletes-collapsing-what-does-it-all-mean.
Debate Stifled
The most bothersome notion of all is: why has the discussion been shut down? Two weeks ago, MP Andrew Bridgen asked the UK parliament a simple question: “Why can’t legislators have a debate on the issue of excess deaths in the UK?” He has been stonewalled for six months.
Of course, he has been stonewalled. Hopefully, you have noticed the last three years, discussion of every relevant COVID issue (lockdowns, treatments, masks, vaccines, natural immunity, etc.) has been shut down (often censored), generally led by governments and their propaganda media. The highly acclaimed medical experts at Facebook (pressured by our own government) know better than Ivy League doctors who advocate for alternatives to government policy (https://nypost.com/2021/07/15/white-house-flagging-posts-for-facebook-to-censor-due-to-covid-19-misinformation/). The Wall Street Journal told us: “How Fauci and Collins Shut Down Covid Debate” (https://www.wsj.com/articles/fauci-collins-emails-great-barrington-declaration-covid-pandemic-lockdown-11640129116). Dr. Collins and Dr. Fauci called their critics fringe epidemiologists. These fringe doctors from Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford have the more impressive credentials.
Who but government could control the debate in this way? Nobody else has this power. Is an extended period of excess deaths in the UK is a matter of no consequence? Surely not. Mr. Bridgen has strong opinions already; he has been a staunch opponent of COVID vaccines, fighting to end them in the UK. Opponents don’t want to give him an opportunity to present a case. Was he wrong then? Is he wrong now? Can we hear from his medical experts?
MP-Andrew-Bridgen-asks-for-debate
Maybe the supposed problems with vaccines are overblown. Maybe government COVID policy has been mostly correct. Maybe Mr. Bridgen’s facts are all wrong. Or maybe not? Those of us on his side are willing to expose the weakness of our arguments (if they are indeed not up to par). The UK government along with the US government and so many other governments believe it is better to end debate rather than risk revealing their mistakes. Is it more likely the facts are with those asking for a debate or with those avoiding it?
British experts definitively claim vaccines are not the source of excess deaths. Let’s test their theory. They are medical experts, but us non-medical experts can detect when medical experts are lying or hiding facts. You don’t need to be a medical expert to detect BS.
Baffled by excess deaths, British ‘experts’ rule out vaccines | Frontline News
Though they are unsure of what is causing a dangerous rise in excess deaths, British media and “medical experts” have conclusively ruled out COVID-19 vaccines as a possible cause.
They don’t know the real cause, but they are certain it is not the vaccines. How many hundreds of millions have been vaccinated? Why, before a serious debate can actually begin, do they rule out this potential source? The article never actually explains their logic. Their claim is supported only by their medical credentials. That’s not enough for those who seek supporting evidence.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), there were 32,000 more deaths than usual between May and December last year against the five-year national average, excluding deaths from COVID-19. Cumulative deaths are highest among the 15-44 age group.
Deaths are highest among the younger demographics, the ones most impacted by myocarditis and other vaccine side effects, but we still are baffled?
Several hypotheses have been put forward, including UK Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty’s claim that the deaths were caused by a drop in heart medication prescriptions, though no such drop was found. Others tried blaming the deaths on doctors’ strikes, though the British Medical Association refuted this claim as well. In May, the Mirror suggested “climate change” may be a factor because “[h]eat in particular persistently returns during the summer, and given climate change will only continue to pose such a fatal threat.”
This is a microcosm of the problem. The Chief Medical Officer explains this anomaly by making a claim for something that never happened. Huh? Excess heat is now blamed for deaths among 15-44 year-old folks in the UK. I thought it wasn’t particularly hot in the UK (it is further north than much of Canada and in the vicinity of Iceland, after all). Excess cold kills far more people each year than excess heat, and also, excess heat impacts older individuals more than those in the 15-44 demographic. I can see why medical experts are avoiding the debate now.
“A refusal to openly discuss these statistics is an abdication of responsibility from parts of the scientific community, leading to an irreversible erosion of trust by parts of society,” said Levinson. “There has been radio silence on the crisis from almost all, leaving a vacuum which is being filled by dangerous theories.”
Blaming vaccines is a “dangerous theory”. Ok, fine. You claim to be medical experts, so please clarify. Why is this theory dangerous? Please also explain why comments declaring dangerous theories are accompanied by “abdication” from “the scientific community” and “radio silence on the crisis from almost all”. We, the uneducated espousers of dangerous theories, are waiting to be educated by medical experts.
Another worrying and so far “unexplained” trend in Great Britain is a 50% increase in heart arrhythmia. Around 1 in 45 Britons now suffer from atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat, according to the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
More than two years ago (June 25, 2021), the US FDA added a warning label to COVID-19 vaccines. Were you told before receiving it? I wasn’t. Do these “medical experts” see no potential connection here?
Dr. Campbell discussed recently a study from Swiss cardiologists. The headline conclusion is that 1 in 35 (2.9%) vaccinated individuals had a vaccine associated myocardial injury. Median age in the study is 37 (i.e. it is not a study heavily weighted in the older demographics).
So, 1 in 45 Britons have atrial fibrillation or irregular heartbeat while 1 in 35 boosted individuals have a vaccine associated myocardial (heart muscle) injury. There are no parallels here? I am the one engaging in “dangerous theories”? Dr. Campbell, says a 2.9% risk is “off the scale”. That 2.9% is for a single risk factor. What about other risk factors? Two months ago, in my retrospective, I highlighted the CDC’s VSAFE program which showed 7% of all program participants reported a vaccine injury. Rasmussen also conducted a poll of Americans and found similar results.
Dr. Campbell is quite angry he was not provided this information before being vaccinated himself. He expects governments around the world to respond to this new Swiss study. I am dubious of any response whatsoever. There is nothing to see here according to the British medical experts interviewed.
campbell-one-in-35-myocardial-injury
Yet, Americans continue to take the risk. Fox News Host and former Tennessee Congressman, Harold Foard Jr. said on The Five last week he will be boosted yet again. He has contracted COVID three times despite staying current with his shots; he still has faith in the vaccines. Is he truly informed? Is he aware of the FDA warning, the recent Swiss study, and the CDC’s VSAFE results or has he chosen to follow a different set of medical experts, ones that will tell him what he prefers to hear? Perhaps this is how he supports his political party?
Governments around the world still push the vaccines with advertisements like this from New Zealand. You too can be an everyday hero by getting boosted. Ignore the US FDA and Swiss cardiologists hiding behind the curtain.
Does the word go out concerning who to blame? Our side, our cult, must always be supported. The other guys are always wrong. The calculus appears to be as simple as that.
Pick your own medical expert to listen to. I choose the ones who appear to be seeking the truth, not the ones with right political jersey.
Dr. Campbell has discussed excess deaths in several recent videos. Two months ago he noted virtually every country around the world was experiencing excess deaths, especially highly vaccinated countries. Since then, deaths in the US, New Zealand, and Canada have finally leveled off. Perhaps this is because vaccinations have fallen off dramatically. Still a great many other countries: UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and more remain above the expected mean.
We should see equal numbers above and below the mean, but we still don’t yet.
Again, why do these levels remain high and why is there not public debate on the issue?
campbell-excess-deaths-no-debate
who-admits-excess-deaths
campbell-excess-deaths-persist
As noted earlier, excess deaths are from non-respiratory disease: brain injuries, heart failures, liver disease, and more. Vaccines are implicated yet again.
Consider also that excess deaths are not concentrated in any one age group. The rate is up for every age group, including those under 25. Vaccines are a risk factor introduced to every single age group. Why do medical experts dismiss vaccines as a potential factor?
A couple weeks ago, there was a stir when LeBron James, 18-year-old son, a college basketball prodigy, suffered a cardiac arrest.
This incident was never attributed to vaccination; we simply aren’t allowed to know if there is any correlation. However, several other incidents occurred within the same few days:
- former soccer player and now ESPN broadcaster Shaka Hislop collapsed on air during a TV broadcast (https://www.foxnews.com/sports/espn-broadcaster-shaka-hislop-collapses-air-real-madrid-ac-milan-friendly-match).
- It was reported Cleveland Browns player Marquise Goodwin will miss the start of the season due to blood clots in his legs and lungs.
- 30-year -old singer Tori Kelly, collapsed at a restaurant in LA and also has blood clots in the legs and lungs. She was treated in the ICU
I won’t make unsubstantiated claims about any one individual, but there is a continuing pattern here that many would prefer to ignore. Is it normal for so many young and athletic individuals to have serious conditions typically associated with older and less healthy individuals?
Dr. Campbell explains the link between vaccines and incidents among athletes. Myocarditis is often a temporary condition and if detected can be easily treated with rest. However, young athletes with myocarditis are at high risk during intense exercise. Athletes and other active individuals should be screened after vaccination and, if exhibiting the risk factor, rested for a short period. If they are not informed, disaster can happen. Yet, our ever-so-wise government believes it is better to deny there is any problem at all to avoid implicating itself and its policies.
Who is Giving us Misinformation?
Too often the counter argument to medical advice from reputable individuals is to label claims as dangerous theories or perhaps misinformation or disinformation, often without substantiation. Congressman Brad Wenstrup, an MD himself recently questioned CDC Director Walensky and tackled this issue. This short two-minute clip is very revealing.
“If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the IC [intensive care] unit, and you’re not going to die. So it’s gigantically important that…we all act like Americans who care about our fellow Americans,” President Joe Biden, June 20, 2021
President Biden’s statement is obviously incorrect. We knew it was untrue in 2021. Two years later, Dr. Wenstrup asks Dr. Walensky to defend this statement and she dissembles.
Dr. Wenstrup “sets the record straight” (his words). He notes we knew from vaccine trials the year before that this claim was untrue. He characterizes the president’s statement as misinformation, divisive, and dangerous. “We have to let science be the science,” he says. Dr. Walensky has no counter.
President Biden’s definitive statement of two years ago was untrue just as British “medical experts” opinions on excess deaths appears to be untrue. Dishonesty was the problem then and is still the problem today.
Dr. Campbell also noted there is a dearth of analysis on so many COVID topics. In this same clip above, Dr. Walensky says the following: “We still to this day, do not have data on people who are coming into the hospitals who are vaccinated. ” Congressman Wenstrup didn’t ask WHY NOT? Why has the CDC failed to gather such basic information? Is the CDC a jobs program or does the CDC provide Americans information needed for informed choices regarding public health? This is a pattern. In November 2021, I noted the CDC made definitive statements regarding natural immunity, yet when asked in a FOAIA request to provide evidence to support the claims made, they said the following:
A search of our records failed to reveal any documents pertaining to your request. The CDC Emergency Operations Center (EOC) conveyed that this information is not collected.
If the debate favored the government’s positions, the debate would be in the open today. It is suppressed because the governments positions are indefensible and they fear exposure.
What Do You Think About This?
Here is an interesting video forwarded to me by a doctor friend. He, not I, is the medical expert who thinks this has merit.
Dr. Martin’s story might sound like a conspiracy, but when you have the fact pattern established above, why shouldn’t we seriously consider it? Dr. Martin is also no crackpot (who is David Martin: http://www.davidmartin.world/about/).
Dr. Martin attempts to explain the baffling behavior of world governments during the past three years. Why were we lied to so often? He says it is to cover up the perfidy of our own government, universities, and corporations the last sixty years. You might want to watch this a couple times to understand his claims fully:
- The Coronavirus was first identified in 1965. It was identified as a pathogen that can be replicated. Replicated for what you might ask.
- In 1966, Coronavirus was first was used in an experiment. In 1967, came the first human trials for inoculating people against Coronavirus. This was the start of the biological warfare using this pathogen, per Dr. Martin.
- In the 1970s, the virus was modified and injected into animals.
- Pfizer developed a vaccine for coronavirus in 1990 (for use with animals). The vaccine didn’t work. Every publication since concluded coronavirus escapes vaccines. It modifies and mutates too quickly for vaccines to be effective. Thousands of publications for nearly thirty years supported this conclusion, per Dr. Martin. The science, Dr. Martin tells us, is that the vaccines do not work on Coronavirus.
- In 2002, a Coronavirus “infectious replication defective clone” was patented, a biological weapon, per Dr. Martin. It was funded by the NAIAD, Dr. Fauci’s organization. The next year, the first SARS virus (COVID-19 is the second SARS virus) appeared on the world stage. There was a scare which faded quickly as the pathogen killed few. SARS is not a naturally occurring virus, per Dr. Martin. It is a virus which was patented in 2003. Did something go wrong?
- Dr. Martin links the actions of Moderna, CDC, NAIAD, Dr. Fauci, and Pfizer over the last 30 years; he claims their goal (for the last sixty years) was to develop a vaccine for an engineered virus, and once that virus was released reap the profits. He also explains why it is virtually impossible to develop a vaccine for such a rapidly mutating virus, The virus mutates on average every nine days (source: https://odysee.com/@FrontlineCovid19CriticalCareAlliance:c/flccc-weekly-update-28-july-2021-covid:6; fast forward to 10:55 mark).
In summary, Dr. Martin claims American institutions and universities, engineered SARS as a bioterrorism threat. Recently, that biological weapon made its way to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and was released (intentionally or accidentally) upon the world in 2019. Big pharma was ready with their vaccine, a vaccine Dr. Martin claims was doomed to failure, yet also one that made big pharma and others incredibly rich. It is a vaccine repeatedly indicted by facts, yet one governments around the world still promote.
In twenty minutes, Dr. Martin indicts our public health establishment which he says has been a counter to public health. He recommends elimination of gain of function research; he says the CDC opposed such restrictions and worked for years to get around this ban. He also recommends review boards and laments the lack of product liability as well. We all have seen how much big pharma has profited and how little accountability they have had.
Why have we been so obviously lied to? We must hold government in particular accountable, so we don’t relive this awful nightmare again. The problem of COVID itself was bad, but it was not nearly as bad as it might have been or as much as it was hyped. The real problem is that America changed after COVID, and too many Americans went along with it. We need to set it back again.
