Clearly, most people are done with Covid and have stopped paying heed to the advice from public health authorities. This of course contains its own long-term dangers. Are Labor and the Greens not interested in knowing the vaccine truth and restoring public trust in the integrity of our public institutions, including Health and Parliament?
India's Covid mortality rate was higher than 1 death per million people for about 7-8 weeks from early May to the end of June 2021, peaking at 2.92 on 29 May 2021.
The second striking feature of the ABS data is the phenomenon of excess deaths, defined as 'the difference between the observed number of deaths in a specified time period and the expected numbers of deaths in that same time period.
' Figure 1 is a snapshot of excess deaths in Australia, Sweden, and the US. During the Covid years, the ABS explains, excess death estimates were 'used to provide information about the burden of mortality potentially related to the Covid-19 pandemic, including deaths that are directly or indirectly attributed to Covid-19.' Notice the sleight of hand here.
Another study published in February looked at death rates by vaccination status among hospitalised patients with Covid and found that in the over-50s, the vaccinated group had almost double the mortality rate of the unvaccinated group.
As per these non-authoritative calculations of date-adjusted data, by March this year the net non-Covid excess deaths were 29,367 for Australia, minus 4,574 for Sweden, and 222,016 for the US. What's interesting about Sweden, of course, is that this is exactly the result we would expect with Covid having killed substantial numbers of the vulnerable population of the elderly and the comorbid, thereby reducing the cohort at serious risk of death in the subsequent few years.
Refusing to investigate this is especially odd after the insistence since 2020 that even one avoidable Covid death is one death too many.
After repeated failed attempts, on 26 March the Senate voted 31-30 to hold an inquiry by the Community Affairs References Committee into factors contributing to excess deaths.
