#1999 - Robert Kennedy Jr.
It doesn’t have to be just a ‘coincidence’ though; seems bizarre to completely ignore something else that was occurring during this time—the Covid pandemic? If we look at the excess mortality, it showed a temporal correlation with Covid waves/mortality, and no temporal correlation with vaccine uptake. Same USA plot for age 18-64. The UK data also showed lower excess mortality in 2021 (all-cause, non-Covid, and Covid). On Euromomo you can plot z-scores for evidence of excess mortality over time by country, here are the plots for 15-44, and all ages. It doesn’t seem like there was excess mortality in the 15-44 age bracket (maybe except Hungary), or vaccine-related excess mortality, but it does appear there was pandemic-related excess. There are also data from many other countries you can check, e.g. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates, and the latest plots with Covid mortality and vaccine uptake available for 100 countries. In various countries it doesn’t look like there’s a temporal correlation with excess. Various countries like Australia, NZ, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, Norway and more (mostly countries that were Zero/low-Covid and highly vaccinated) had little to no (or even negative) excess mortality. That doesn’t really reconcile with the possibility of vaccine-related excess, but it’s compatible with pandemic-related excess. The claim/narrative that the excess mortality may somehow be related to or driven by vaccination just seems really difficult to reconcile with the data.

The Explosive Legacy of the Pandemic Hand Sanitizer Boom
> The obvious fearmongering and irrationality, especially from so-called "experts", was quite intense and prolific in Canada, too.
So much death and suffering and bereavement and sorrow the scale of which I have never witnessed in my entire life and I still read comments like these. Baffling!
A more serious take: excess deaths worldwide put us at 20+ millions deaths [1].

Our model suggests that global deaths remain 5% above pre-Covid forecasts
It might be worth generating a version that excludes Russia and Ukraine.

Illinois man was a Covid skeptic from the beginning and reposted all anti-Fauci posts he received. Because he beat Covid in October 2021, he thought he was immune. Unfortunately he caught Covid again in December 2022, and was in and out of the hospital until he passed in May 2023.
The official numbers in Russia are pure bullshit. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates is a better estimate.

WHO downgrades COVID pandemic, says it's no longer emergency
Btw if we look at the excess mortality data, it showed a pretty good temporal correlation with Covid waves/mortality. Similar with UK data. There are also data from many other countries available, e.g. Economist, and latest plots for 100 countries. This would seem to reconcile with bodies like the USA CDC, UK ONS etc. claiming that the vast majority (>85%) of C19 deaths has C19 as the underlying cause.

I know the vaccinated lurk here all day long hoping for a gotcha moment that’ll never come, but I have a question for the vaccinated.

Government publishes horrific figures on COVID Vaccine Deaths: 1 in 482 dead within a month, 1 in 246 dead within 60 days, & 1 in 73 dead by May 2022
I'll also note that despite making claims about the Philippine Statistics Authority's data, they elected not to provide a link to said data. So I tried to figure out what data set they were using - they were comparing "cumulative excess deaths" to "cumulative total vaccine doses", but their graph is cut-off and the right label is missing. Since they're defining excess deaths as "the number of deaths that occurred as a result of the COVID-19 crisis", it's inherently faulty to compare these two - and it makes later statements internally inconsistent, such as "Something is causing the sudden deaths of thousands of Filipinos starting March 2021", because they've defined the something -it's COVID-19! (Source is the Johns Hopkins university COVID-19 data repository, which is publicly available and which I, unlike these scammers, am happy to provide). The entire argument completely falls apart, and it becomes similar to this topic, where they're just counting vaccinated people who died as "possibly because of the COVID vaccine" with absolutely no substantiation.
