UK Health Agency Accused of Withholding Excess Mortality Data Linked to COVID Vaccine

Of course withholding this data damages trust—people aren't stupid. If they wanted to build trust, they’d be transparent, not hide behind excuses. The whole situation reeks of cover-up, and the public deserves the full truth, no matter how uncomfortable it might be.

“Report suggests potential #ExcessMortality in the general population of up to 3% for the US by 2033 and 2.5% in the UK, the longest period of elevated peacetime excess mortality in the US
Key driver of excess mortality is the lingering impact of #COVID19; both as a direct cause of death, and as a contributor to #cardiovascular mortality
Reducing the impact of COVID-19 on elderly and vulnerable populations will be key to excess mortality returning to zero” https://med-mastodon.com/@cbarbermd/113534986576956599

According to Swiss Re Institute's report, “The future of excess mortality after #COVID , if the ongoing impact of the disease is not curtailed, excess mortality rates may remain up to 3% higher than pre-pandemic levels in the US and 2.5% in the UK by 2033.” https://shorturl.at/eoFWt #press

"We estimate that the average [hurricane] generates 7,000–11,000 excess deaths, exceeding the average of 24 immediate deaths reported in government statistics. Tracking the effects of 501 historical storms, we compute that the.. mortality burden ...is equal to roughly 3.2–5.1% of all deaths"

@KarenCutter "It's encouraging that each successive COVID-19 wave has, so far, resulted in fewer deaths than the previous one. However, we think that COVID#19 is likely to cause some #ExcessMortality for several years to come, either as a direct cause of death or a contributing factor to other causes such as heart disease."

"In our view, the 'new normal' level of mortality is likely to be higher than it would have been if we hadn't had the pandemic."
