In the first week of December (week 48, 29 November to 5 December 2021 inclusive), the estimated number of deaths stood at 4,300. This is approximately 1,250 more than expected. Mortality was elevated across all age groups and among both long-term care users and the rest of the population. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on the latest provisional weekly mortality figures.
Since the beginning of August (week 31), mortality has been above the expected level and also outside the range of usual fluctuations in almost each week, resulting in excess mortality. From mid-October onwards, the number of deaths has increased further on a weekly basis.

I wonder if they’ll ever figure it out. Eventually these numbers will get compared with other countries with low vaccination rates, and then it will be obvious.
