Study estimates real global COVID death toll is approaching 20 million

The research is the first peer-reviewed comprehensive investigation into the excess deaths seen around the world over the past two years since the pandemic began.

A new study published in The Lancet is offering the first peer-reviewed investigation into the global death toll of COVID-19. By tracking excess death data from nearly 200 countries across 2020 and 2021 the study estimates more than 18 million deaths from COVID-19, a number that is three times higher than official estimates.

Since the pandemic began in early 2020 researches have looked to excess death data as the best way to track the true mortality toll of COVID-19. From year to year total death counts in a given country are generally remarkably consistent. After accounting for growth in population, researchers can identify the impact of events such as natural disasters or wars by looking at the rate of death in excess of what could be normally expected.

Over the last two years researchers looking at excess death data have consistently suggested the official COVID-19 mortality figures are dramatically undercounting the real toll of the pandemic. A study last year estimated the real COVID-19 toll from the first year of the pandemic is likely more than double the official count.

This new study, led by the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, is the most thorough excess death investigation to be published so far in the pandemic. Weekly or monthly all-cause mortality data spanning 2020 and 2021 was collected from 74 countries and 266 states or provinces. Data was also gathered for the 11 years prior to the pandemic.

This data was used to create several models that could estimate excess death figures from 191 countries and territories. Overall, the researchers calculated 18.2 million excess deaths around the world .....

How many of those are vaccine deaths disguised as Fauci/China biological warfare virus deaths, since anyone who dies within 14 days of “vaccination” officially dies “unvaccinated?”

Does that include deaths from the vaccines, too? (I’m assuming the new estimate includes everyone who died “with” COVID as having died “from” COVID.)

This would include deaths from adverse side effects from the vaccine (heart, blood clots, etc.,) and deaths from delayed/deferred medical treatment during lockdowns (undiagnosed cancers, etc.)

How man of these deaths are “deaths with COVID” or “deaths associated with COVID” or “deaths involving COVID”, rather than “deaths from COVID”?

How many are deaths “with” Covid as opposed to deaths “from” Covid?

Plus suicide, increased domestic violence, drug overdoses, and a host of other things that increased during the lock downs.

So now they are pretending all the excess mortality is because they were undercounted covid deaths instead of being from the vaccine? I doubt anyone will buy that reason.

Fear porn of the day.

I keep looking for the twin climate change fear porn, but those “researchers” appear to be a bit late. Probably awaiting their update from Soros.

This is the most accurate and honest way for assessing the COVID damage I’ve seen so far. The historical death rate has a certain trend, so you assume it would follow that trend if not for COVID. This way, it takes into account all the deaths from suicide and drugs caused by the lockdowns.

We’ve been lied to so often for so long about so much while having statistics, all claiming to be peer reviewed, falsified, manipulated and misapplied that anyone who believes anything from gov’t, pharma, the medical community and/or the media is a fool.

The flu (and all the death it brought year in and year out) supposedly vanished just as Covid appeared. Dollars to donuts the raw data will show that excess mortality didn’t appear until the advent of Covid vexxationation in 2021.

LOL no, not when vehicle accidents, homicides and accidental deaths are classified as “covid deaths.” Most especially when the average covid death is a person with a little over 2 comorbidities, or the elderly. They also deliberately don’t say died “from” or “with.” It most certainly can make preexisting conditions worse, but without anything it’s probably more like dying from the flu or pneumonia.

Who paid for this "study"?

Mean while both PA and MI are revising significantly downward their total Covid deaths due to massive over reporting of actual covid deaths

But all the chicken littles will choose to belive the “study” not the actual hard data.
