United Kingdom mortality data suggests that — COVID hysteria has been grossly overblown for the world's healthy population

Let's begin with a startling number

 

The average age of United Kingdom people, who died with or from COVID, was 80:

 

 

The average age of death for people whose death involved COVID-19 in the 19 months from March 2020 to September 2021 was 80 years old. [footnote 17] [footnote 18]

 

72% of deaths involving COVID-19 in the same time period were of people aged 75 years and over.

Think about what it takes, mathematically, to come up with a mean age that high.

 

We can safely conclude that COVID-19 is mainly a reaper of the very old.

 

 

There is another COVID-19 mortality fact that . . .

 

. . . governments have been (intentionally or not) obscuring.

 

COVID is, almost exclusively, a final attack on the already unhealthy.

 

When compared with other data, a freedom of information request (submitted in the United Kingdom) revealed that COVID-19 is not killing noticeable amounts of healthy people.

 

From the Office of National Statistics:

 

 

You asked

 

​​Please can you advise on deaths purely from covid with no other underlying causes.

 

We said

 

Thank you for your request . . . .

 

Please see below for death registrations for 2020 and 2021 (provisional) that were due to COVID-19 and were recorded without any pre-existing conditions, England and Wales.

 

2020: 9400

 

[age] 0-64: 1549

 

[age] 65 and over: 7851

 

2021 Q[uarter]1: 6483

 

0-64: 1560

 

65 and over: 4923

 

2021 Q2: 346

 

0-64: 153

 

65 and over: 193

 

2021 Q3: 1142

 

0-64: 512

 

65 and over: 630

Let's compare the above numbers with the United Kingdom's 2020 overall COVID mortality data:

 

 

total COVID deaths — 73,743

 

age 0-64 — 7,399

 

age 65 and up — 66,352

 

Source: Office of National Statistics, Dataset — Pre-existing conditions of people who died due to COVID-19, England and Wales — 2020 (Final) edition of this dataset, ons.gov.uk (at Excel Table 1a, line 7) (visited 23 January 2022)

 

 

To calculate the percentage of presumably only COVID-caused mortality, among those who did not have preexisting medically concerning conditions:

 

 

Divide 9,400 (taken from the freedom of information response) by 73,743 (taken from the dataset for 2020).

 

Result is 0.1275.

 

Times that by 100 to get 12.75 percent.

 

 

Thus, only 13 percent of the people — who do (purportedly) die from COVID in the United Kingdom — have either no — or undiscovered and/or unreported — serious medical conditions.

 

 

That is essentially the reverse of . . .

 

. . . what Government's propagandists have been implying, isn't it?

 

Have you noticed any massive public health effort (anywhere) to encourage people to reduce the risk-inviting COVID effects of their preexisting non-COVID medical conditions?

 

Even for those comorbidities that we medically know (for sure) are susceptible to lifestyle changes?

 

And do you wonder, now, why Governments have been obliterating normal society and small businesses — pretty much everywhere — so as to (purportedly and ineffectually) protect a comparatively small percentage of the world's population of non-healthy people?

 

 

Let's throw in supporting fact — that is also routinely withheld and/or unpublicized

 

Even the elderly are not, proportionately speaking, at great risk of having their lives significantly shortened by COVID:

 

 

Life expectancy at birth in the UK in 2018 to 2020 was 79.0 years for males and 82.9 years for females;

 

this represents a fall of 7.0 weeks for males and almost no change for females (a slight increase of 0.5 weeks) from the latest non-overlapping period of 2015 to 2017.

 

[T] he coronavirus pandemic led to a greater number of deaths than normal in 2020.

 

 Consequently, in the latest estimates, we see virtually no improvement in life expectancy for females compared to 2015 to 2017 at 82.9 years, while for males life expectancy has fallen back to levels reported for 2012 to 2014, at 79 years.

 

This is the first time we have seen a decline when comparing non-overlapping time periods since the series began in the early 1980s.

Do the math

 

If one's life expectancy is not being noticeably shortened — as UK data implies that it is not — then one cannot conclude that COVID is a rampaging killer of one and all.

 

A decrease in longevity for UK men (just short of two months) cannot be considered massively significant, when it is spread out over the 79 years already lived.

 

And notice that women are reportedly living 3 to 4 days longer, even under COVID's supposedly heavy hand.

 

Hmm.

 

 

What should we make of all this?

 

Consider first, that it took a freedom of information inquiry to get the UK government to release what should have been important and voluntarily offered public information.

 

After all, what competent epidemiologist would try to conceal the fact that COVID near-exclusively attacks the elderly and already ill?

 

Wouldn't thoughtful physicians want to know whom they should be focusing on?

 

And what cadre of genuinely public-service-spirited servants would turn the world upside down in order to, allegedly and ineffectually (as other data indicates), protect a proportionately small percentage of vulnerable people from a virus that does healthy — and presumedly COVID-vaccinated people — statistically speaking little harm?

 

 

The moral? — One gets the sense . . .

 

. . . from these heretofore unpublicized United Kingdom COVID-19 facts that the developed world's overreacting leadership has been and continues to be crazy or, alternatively, nefarious.

 

We Americans should be asking ourselves why similar data in the United States is not being competently collected and appropriately acted upon.

 

Follow the money.
