COVID Deaths & Mortality - it'll surprise you

The survival rate of “Covid” is over 99%. Government medical experts went out of their way to underline, from the beginning of the pandemic, that the vast majority of the population are not in any danger from Covid.

Almost all studies on the infection-fatality ratio (IFR) of Covid have returned results between 0.04% and 0.5%. Meaning Covid’s survival rate is at least 99.5%.

Half of all deaths were below, half were above the median age.

The following chart shows the percentage of COVID deaths per age group in various countries. While in many European countries, up to 90% of deaths affect people older than 70 years of age, in many Latin American countries, up to a third of deaths affect people younger than 60 years of age.

There has been NO unusual excess mortality. The press has called 2020 the UK’s “deadliest year since world war two”, but this is misleading because it ignores the massive increase in the population since that time. A more reasonable statistical measure of mortality is Age-Standardised Mortality Rate (ASMR):

Age-Standardised Mortality Rate (ASMR)

By this measure, 2020 isn’t even the worst year for mortality since 2000, In fact since 1943 only 9 years have been better than 2020.

Similarly, in the US the ASMR for 2020 is only at 2004 levels:

“COVID death” counts are artificially inflated. Countries around the globe have been defining a “COVID death” as a “death by any cause within 28/30/60 days of a positive test”.

Healthcare officials from Italy, Germany, the UK, US, Northern Ireland and others have all admitted to this practice.

Removing any distinction between dying of COVID, and dying of something else after testing positive for COVID will naturally lead to over-counting of “COVID deaths”. British pathologist Dr John Lee was warning of this “substantial over-estimate” as early as last spring. Other mainstream sources have reported it, too.

The vast majority of COVID deaths have serious comorbidities. In March 2020, the Italian government published statistics showing 99.2% of their “COVID deaths” had at least one serious comorbidity.

These included cancer, heart disease, dementia, Alzheimer’s, kidney failure and diabetes (among others). Over 50% of them had three or more serious pre-existing conditions.

This pattern has held up in all other countries over the course of the “pandemic”. An October 2020 FOIA request to the UK’s ONS revealed less than 10% of the official “Covid death” count at that time had COVID as the sole cause of death.
