Excess Deaths Long After Pandemic

In the west, death rates remain high, but in Eastern Europe, have returned to below-​normal rates.

“The total number of excess deaths in 47 countries of the Western World was 3,098,456 from 1 January 2020 until 31 December 2022,” write the four authors of “Excess mortality across countries in the Western World since the COVID-​19 pandemic: ‘Our World in Data’ estimates of January 2020 to December 2022.”

It’s an interesting journal article, well worth our attention.

“Excess mortality was documented in 41 countries (87%) in 2020, 42 countries (89%) in 2021 and 43 countries (91%) in 2022. In 2020, the year of the COVID-​19 pandemic onset and implementation of containment measures, records present 1,033,122 excess deaths (P‑score 11.4%). In 2021, the year in which both containment measures and COVID-​19 vaccines were used to address virus spread and infection, the highest number of excess deaths was reported:
1,256,942 excess deaths (P‑score 13.8%). In 2022, when most containment measures were lifted and COVID-​19 vaccines were continued, preliminary data present 808,392 excess deaths (P‑score 8.8%).”

Or, to put it in graphic terms:

Excess mortality and cumulative excess mortality in the Western World.

Here we can compare excess death stats among the various countries:

Though we are already forgetting the enormity of mob-​action, abuse of expert testimony, and unconstitutional government, our forgetfulness is not a result of the problem going away. “Excess mortality has remained high in the Western World for three consecutive years,” the authors summarize, “despite the implementation of containment measures and COVID-​19 vaccines.”

Interestingly, in Eastern Europe and Russia, where vaccination with mRNA gene therapeutics was scant to none, the excess level has gone negative. That is a good thing.
