Excess Deaths and Playing With Statistics

A life insurance head who mentioned an unexplained 40% increase in deaths in people 18 to 64 in 2021 has gotten a lot of attention on alternative media for the last few days. Of course nobody can implicate the vaccine as a possible cause, anymore than atheletes collapsing on the field of heart attacks could have anything to do with the conjab. 2021 was a year of see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil (of the vaccine) and I'm hoping it dies a cruel death.

There's plenty of reason to suspect the excess reported deaths are related to conjab, even if not reported. Insurance companies do not cover vaccine liability, so even if you think your husband's death is related, you need to come up with another cause to collect on the policy. Incentives have long been built in at every level from hospitals to coroners to insurance to blame something else. At the same time though, life insurance companies are very much in the business of calculating mortality at every level. They want you to pay your premiums for 70 years every time and live to be 100. They don't want you to die of a heart attack at 31. They have the best actuarial tables anywhere, calculating exact risk of death per age and health condition. Of course they'll likely quietly get bailed out on this debacle. If you're the grieving wife with children you probably won't collect on your $100 K policy unless you toe the company line. And this the beat goes on.

But this debate had me checking the CDC all cause mortality dashboard again. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

They made an odd change in November of 2021 to it, apparently subtracting 93 weeks then adding in all cause mortality since 2015. Why were these 93 weeks selected? The CDC said the excess death rate (elevated all of 2021) would be approximately 2% less due to the changes. Apparently the gerrymandering is moving from counting all deaths as the Covid crisis to undercounting excessive ones. I wonder why they'd do that? Could it be that the safe and effective vaccines everyone has been encouraged and coerced into taking are not only not working, but dangerous?

If the media tells you not to panic…you need to get worried…
