More blowback from Johns Hopkins' article as the archived version continues to reach inwards into the mainstream.

Links and graphs at the source.

What I find interesting is that the article is in the JHU undergrad newspaper. Not where you’d expect to find a story of this magnitude.

Study: Absolutely NO excess deaths from COVID-19
November 26, 2020 4:15 pm Robert Zimmerman

UPDATE: It appears the newsletter analysis that I linked to below was too hopeful for the authorities at Johns Hopkins, even though it was based on actual data. Mere minutes after I posted this they took it down, censoring this conclusion. Though I quoted a lot below, the article was much longer, included detailed graphs, and was thoughtful and thorough.

Positive news like this however must not be published. It must be squelched and silenced. We must live in fear, even if the thing we fear does not exist.

One of my readers below however found it on the Wayback Machine, here.

I have also embedded below the fold the webinar where the information censored was discussed in detail. In case Johns Hopkins or Youtube decides to censor this webinar also, another one of my readers below has downloaded it and made it available here. (It is very sad that a university now considers Orwell’s 1984 to be an instruction manual instead of a warning.)

Original post:
——————————
A new analysis of the 2020 death statistics in the United States has revealed that despite the panic over COVID-19, the total number of deaths in all age groups — including the elderly — showed no change before or after the arrival of the virus.

This bears repeating, in bold and italics: There have been no excess deaths in 2020.

I’m not sure the article was accurate. It seems to contradict CDC data.
Excess Deaths Associated with COVID-19

But its withdrawal has been mishandled. What we need is a reconciliation of the data sets.

Johns Hopkins University: “Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19... In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.”

Thank You for posting.

Like everything else with COVID, what John Hopkins has done here has set an unbelievably dangerous precedent.

Methinks the powers that be at Johns Hopkins are about to learn about th Streisand Effect.

Deaths have remained relatively constant, yet reported deaths due to deadly conditions such as heart disease have fallen while reported Covid deaths have risen. This suggests that the current Covid death count is in some capacity relabeled deaths due to other ailments.

But the Hospitals don't get any extra money if it isn't COVID, so Everyone dies from COVID now, even the Guy that got hit head on his motorcycle last week on my corner, he died from covid too.

Thanks for the post. I was wondering when someone would take hard look at the numbers. Sadly the media used this virus as a way to paint the USA in a “malaise” like situation. We need to defund the MSM as it currently operates.

...CDC data....
___________
Which CDC data, from when?

How does anyone know which data, if any, is accurate?

On what basis may the consumer vet any data source at any given point in time?

Please include all relevant deltas.

But isn’t that CDC report relying on the deaths and death counts as they have been labeled, as to their cause, which is no more than accepting the bad accounting of deaths first, and then making some “excess” analysis based on that bad accounting?

But its withdrawal has been mishandled. What we need is a reconciliation of the data sets.

We need a reconciliation of something.

Our leaders obliterated a $16 trillion economy, put millions of Americans out of work, and bankrupted countless small businesses. The shutdowns fueled nationwide riots that cause billions in damage while also opening the doors to the greatest curtailment of civil rights we've ever experienced. Our lives have been disrupted beyond measure and fundamentally altered.

And now, as many of us long suspected, the truth is coming out. "Not really that big of a deal." says the nations' premier medical university, before they quickly deleted it.

Should we start a pool as to how long it will be before Dr. Genevieve Briand has a tragic fatal accident?

You’ll never get 100% accurate data because you had people being labeled as Covid deaths early on without being tested. If they merely displayed ANY symptom they were thrown into the bucket. Early on tests were in short supply and they didn’t want to waste them on the already deceased.

Then you have variance because in real life people die of things like a heart attack or pneumonia, but may also have Covid. What actually killed them, and in the past even just compared with the flu, would we have counted that as a flu death?

It’s just all a circus, but it served it’s political intended purpose during the era of opposition politics by Biden and the Democrats. If Biden assumes office, you better believe Covid will make a rapid exit from the stage and if another such disease were to pop up, as with Obama who was in change for one of the worst flu seasons in decades where many died, NOTHING will be done to upset the economy. Once you become the manager of the store and responsible for the ledger, you have to act like an adult.

I would encourage you to look at the data yourselves, there is clearly a large uptick in deaths this year. Ignore COVID< just look at raw number of deaths.

After 41 weeks, (Jan through October), total deaths:

2018: 2,207,131
2019: 2,226,011
2020: 2,550,182

That's 324,171 more deaths this year than at the same time last year. Obviously COVID is having a huge impact. NO clue what crack the Johns Hopkins economist was on, but likely an excel error or typo to get the results she published, which is probably why it was withdrawn.

Look at the raw data yourself, the same data the KH economist supposedly was using: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

It wasn’t an error.

This was NEVER about public health.

I read recently where the CDC or whoever is in charge of cause of death attributions were even more insistent on findings to claim CV-19 as the COD.

Sorry - no source right now.
