Popular Post +ouija ouija Posted June 7, 2024 Popular Post #1 Share Posted June 7, 2024 Remember, it's only a short while ago that mention of, never mind discussion about, the connection between the covid vaccine and excess deaths was immediately shut down whenever it popped up. The media has avoided the subject like the plague. But suddenly it's headline news and 'experts call for more research into side effects and possible links to mortality rates'. Good! "Excess mortality has remained high in the Western World for three consecutive years, despite the implementation of containment measures and COVID-19 vaccines. This raises serious concerns. Government leaders and policymakers need to thoroughly investigate underlying causes of persistent excess mortality." https://bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/2/1/e000282 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/04/covid-vaccines-may-have-helped-fuel-rise-in-excess-deaths/ The following video is just 15mns long. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Still Waters Posted June 7, 2024 Popular Post #4 Share Posted June 7, 2024 COVID vaccines saved millions of lives – linking them to excess deaths is a mistake Quote A recent study has sparked another round of headlines claiming that COVID vaccines caused excess deaths. This was accompanied by a predictable outpouring of I-told-you-sos on social media. Excess deaths are a measure of how many more deaths are being recorded in a country over what would have been expected based on historical trends. In the UK, and in many other countries, death rates have been higher during the years 2020 to 2023 than would have been expected based on historic trends from before the pandemic. But that has been known for some time. A couple of years ago I wrote an article for The Conversation pointing this out and suggesting some reasons. But has anything changed? https://theconversation.com/covid-vaccines-saved-millions-of-lives-linking-them-to-excess-deaths-is-a-mistake-231776 3 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt that getting vaxxed was the wisest thing to do, and still is. Edited June 7, 2024 by pellinore 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the rise of heart disease and cancer in young people, and their deaths, it has become increasingly so for the last two decades. This increase in these two diseases among younger people, has nothing to do with the mRNA vaccines. Since you worked in the medical field and your wife works in medical, I would think you would know about that and know better. So why, a man in your previous positions, are you stirring needless unfounded suspicions like this? Edited June 8, 2024 by Katniss 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittens Are Jerks Posted June 8, 2024 #13 Share Posted June 8, 2024 Fact Check: No evidence to link UK excess deaths to COVID-19 vaccines A suggestion that tens of thousands of excess deaths in the UK are linked to COVID-19 vaccines is misleading. The claim was made in a monologue by British television presenter Neil Oliver on GB News. In an 11-minute video clip posted to Facebook on Jan. 6 that has attracted 384,000 views, he says there have been more than 100,000 excess deaths in the United Kingdom since January 2022 and implies a link with the rollout of COVID vaccines. https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/no-evidence-link-uk-excess-deaths-covid-19-vaccines-2024-02-06/ Perhaps Neil Oliver would like to explain the following stats: The total number of excess deaths for 2022-2023, according to UK health agencies, is 72,575. ONS data also shows all-cause deaths in England and Wales were higher among the unvaccinated than those who had received at least one dose, for every month in its April 2021 to May 2023 dataset. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 'No evidence to link UK excess deaths to COVID-19 vaccines' because there's been no proper separation of causes of excess deaths! It has even been suggested that many causes of deaths were incorrectly recorded. In your own post you state that Neil Oliver made a claim, but later in the same sentence you say he implies, a link between excess deaths and the vaccines. I would suggest it was closer to 'suggesting there could be a possible link' . . . a link that should be investigated to find out the truth. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you read was a quote from the article I posted. Neil Oliver, however. did indeed make an unsupported claim. As for implying/suggesting (however you wish to describe it) a link between the vaccine and the number of excess deaths, the stats already indicate that's most likely not the case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ouija ouija Posted June 8, 2024 Author #16 Share Posted June 8, 2024 The problem is, there's no way of knowing if the vaccine was the cause of a death or not! If a person had not had a vaccine/multiple vaccines would they still be alive? We can never know. We can never know if the vaccine was 'the straw that broke the camel's back'. At General Practioner level, deaths were recorded with no consideration of whether the person who died had recently had the vaccine or not so how can we know? Unless each death is looked at individually and vaccine history noted and, I would say close family and carers interviewed, we can never get anywhere near the truth. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has even been suggested that many causes of deaths were incorrectly recorded. What conspiracy theorists and fear-mongers like Neil Oliver (who's also nowhere near a medical expert) conveniently fail to mention is that there are reporting requirements for healthcare professionals — they must report any death after COVID-19 vaccination even if it is unclear whether the vaccine was the cause. Whilst there have been rare instances of serious adverse reactions (such as myocarditis and pericarditis) comprehensive medical studies have shown no increased risk of death, and no unusual patterns of death, among COVID-19 vaccine recipients. Bottom line: People receiving COVID vaccines are at no greater risk of death from non-COVID causes, than those who are unvaccinated. If anything, the vaccines have saved lives, not endangered them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenMindedSceptic Posted June 8, 2024 #18 Share Posted June 8, 2024 It's crazy how this trend of excess deaths was predicted and now it's here.

Didn't think I'd see quite so many headlines of high profile sportspeople dropping dead, guess thise that follow MSM will say they were all drinking or some such nonsense. Oh no, they will more likely say it was myocarditis caused by covid-19 infection and guess what? They would be right! Why? Because doctors diagnosed the cause and explain to MSM how it happens. Here is a nice example of that. Quote When Demi Washington, a basketball player at Vanderbilt University came down with COVID-19 in late 2020, her symptoms were mild, just a runny nose. But to ensure her safe return to the court, the school required her to undergo an MRI. The results brought Washington to tears. Following the infection, the now college graduate had developed myocarditis — when the heart muscle becomes inflamed, which can decrease the heart's ability to pump blood. The condition can lead to stroke or heart attack, according to Mayo Clinic. Washington was not vaccinated against COVID-19 at the time. "I was scared because any internal organ, you’re like, 'Oh, my gosh, I need that to live,'" she recalled to TODAY. "I didn’t really know what was going to come of it, how long was it going to take for it to resolve." and the possibilities as to why it happens. Quote Cheng called the connection "more than coincidental, that is for sure." Explaining why, she pointed out that COVID-19 can greatly impact the cardiovascular system. "It appears to be able to increase the stickiness of the blood and increase ... the likelihood of blood clot formation," Cheng said. "It seems to stir up inflammation in the blood vessels. It seems to also cause in some people an overwhelming stress — whether it’s related directly to the infection or situations around the infection — that can also cause a spike in blood pressure." The reason for the relative rise in young people in particular is unclear, but one theory, Cheng said, is that the virus's impact on the cardiovascular system in some people may be due to an excessive immune system response and that young people are more likely to have stronger immune systems. Young people are more likely to die of heart attacks post-COVID, study finds. But why? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? Who said that? Do you know what myocarditis is? It's inflammation of the heart muscles usually brought on by viral infections, like covid-19. And children can on rare occasions have myocarditis. So no, it's not really due to lifestyle. You are thinking of heart disease, which is sometimes brought on by a patient's lifestyle.

Ell Posted June 9, 2024 #22 Share Posted June 9, 2024 There is such a thing as herpes virus-induced myocarditis. What if covid-19 triggered a herpes virus, causing myocarditis? Were all those myocarditis deaths attributed to covid-19 checked for herpes virus-induced myocarditis? The same for the blood clots: Quote The herpes virus that causes cold sores triggers blood clots and promotes the cholesterol deposits linked to heart disease What if the mRNA injection also causes both myocarditis and blood clots? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jabs companies that scrapped the double blind testing, desperately tried to suppress information in a recent court case, rushed to market against any sensible person's advice while people warned that the death toll long term could be even bigger than covid...
