“Something bad is happening” [unexplained UK mortality data]

1/ The UK has stunningly detailed and up-to-date mortality statistics. With a lag of under two weeks, it reports deaths by age and cause - and compares them to the expected number.

The figures paint a troubling picture. In the last few weeks, excess deaths have turned positive…

2/ After months in which they were negative. We thought excess mortality would be negative for a year-plus after Covid ended - many people who die from Covid are near the end of life, so those deaths were being pulled forward. That was the spring pattern. Now it’s changed…

3/ And not (only) because Covid is back. No, something specific is happening. Cancer and some lung disease deaths remain low, for example. But cardiac and stroke deaths are significantly higher than normal, and rising…

4/ And rates for younger people are strikingly higher than normal and rising (though they are still only a tiny fraction of overall deaths).

Maybe delayed care explains this pattern. But then why is it so centered around heart and not cancer deaths?

Something bad is happening.

5/ And no, I don’t know what. But we’d be well-advised to find the answer as soon as possible, and ideally BEFORE we start hitting the population with yet more mRNA.

Yup. Still not sure which one.

A rapid increase in overweight people and obesity during the pandemic? I think the US finally cracked 40% obesity in 2020.

I made a conscious effort to try and stay reasonably healthy when I started working from home in March 2020. And I've managed to lose 10 to 15 pounds since then.

My doctor asked if I was feeling ok or was I losing weight because I was ill. She told me most of her patients have gained weight since the lockdowns began. This insanity has made people unhealthy and combine that with side effects of the vaccines it's like a ticking time bomb.

## What’s the problem with that?

Yeah. Valid question. Should have read un-vaxxinated
