FOIA Request Shows Only 17,371 Deaths In England & Wales Can Be Solely Attributed to COVID

The Facts: A Freedom of Information Act request has revealed that 17,371 people in England and Wales died solely from COVID. The data represents numbers recorded from the beginning of 2020 up until the end of September 2021.

A Freedom of Information Act request released at the end of 2021 reveals the total number of people who died of COVID without any pre-existing conditions in England and Wales.

In 2021 there were 7,971 people that died of COVID who otherwise had no pre-existing conditions.

Help Support Our FOI Efforts: We are holding the Canadian government accountable by submitting Freedom of Information requests demanding transparency on COVID policy decisions as we know science is not on the side of policy.

The average age of those who died solely from COVID was 82.5 years of age, while the national average life expectancy is 79 years old for men, and 82.9 years of age for women.

The challenging question with this data is, and has always been, how many people die 'with' COVID vs 'of' COVID. If one tests positive for COVID while in hospital for something else, should they be a COVID death? This has never really happened with other viruses, like RSV or the flu for example.

Finally, with a more well rounded view of those that are dying from and with COVID, do certain policies and mandates still make sense?
