The Dynamics of Coronavirus Death Rates: Examining the True Impact

There has been a persistent debate surrounding the rise in the coronavirus death rates. Some argue that the rates have stayed consistent with previous years, while others suggest that the implementation of experimental vaccines has led to a spike in fatalities. This article delves into these claims and provides a comprehensive analysis based on available data and expert insights.

Clarifying the Death Rate Controversy

Claim: The 2020 death rates for the coronavirus were the same as previous years.
Fact: It has been pointed out that initial data showed little change in death rates compared to previous years. However, since the rollout of the poorly tested experimental vaccine, there has been a marked increase in reported deaths that are still labeled as 'Covid deaths.'

Understanding the Oversterfte Metric in the Netherlands

Claim: The death rate has increased, depending on the location.
Fact: The Netherlands provides a good example. The 'oversterfte' or excess deaths metric, which measures the total number of deaths above the expected baseline, peaked. This is considered a more accurate indicator of coronavirus-related deaths than the medial establishment's reports, as it is virtually double what it would have been if not for insufficient testing in earlier times.

Improvements in Medical Care and Mortality Rates

Claim: Medical care has improved, leading to a better understanding of treatment protocols.
Fact: While it is true that medical care has improved, the overall mortality rate from coronavirus remains significantly higher than that from the flu. According to recent data, the mortality rate from coronavirus is about 3%, whereas the flu mortality rate is approximately 1%. Additionally, the coronavirus is now the third leading cause of death in the US, following heart disease and cancer.

Excess Deaths Compared to Historical Data

Claim: The high death rates are due to the underlying conditions of the deceased.
Fact: While it is true that many elderly or those with underlying health conditions would have died sooner from other causes, the data from various countries show otherwise. For example, Spain had a population of 46,940,000 and experienced 432,458 deaths in 2019, resulting in a mortality rate of 109 per million. Germany, with a population of 83,719,272, had 953,730 deaths in 2019, resulting in a rate of 88 per million. The USA, with 329,450,000 people, had 2,893,230 deaths in 2019, resulting in a rate of 114 per million. Portugal, with a population of 10,196,709, had 110,257 deaths in 2019, resulting in a rate of 92 per million.

Despite the lower rates in Germany and Portugal, the USA experienced the highest mortality rate. This suggests that the coronavirus has had a significant impact on mortality, particularly on those in nursing homes and with pre-existing conditions. The virus can be seen as a natural process, similar to forest fires that clear and rejuvenate the ecosystem, as it targets individuals who are more vulnerable or nearing the end of their lives.

Conclusion and Further Reading

While the initial data might not have shown significant increases in death rates, the subsequent rise in reported 'Covid deaths' post-vaccine rollout cannot be ignored. Countries like the Netherlands offer insightful metrics that provide a more accurate picture of the impact of the virus. Furthermore, the US's high mortality rates compared to other countries underscore the importance of data transparency and rigorous analysis.
