I've always thought that last autumn/winter (20-21) the country was going into a fairly normal, somewhat above average seasonal rise (weeks 41-52 on your charts) and then there was a really sharp peak in Jan which as I recall coincided with the roll out of the vaccine in the oldest age group. It's hard to tell exactly what the trend is at wk 52-3 because of the Christmas/New Yr blip, but the impression I took away was that it was levelling off ore even starting to dip - so I've always been of the opinion that the 'vaccine' just made things worse last winter. In view of the below average deaths in the older age groups later in the year it looks as though maybe their lives were cut short by about 6months or so (maybe no great loss to them considering the conditions everyone was being forced to exist under at that time).
Yes that sharp upward trend last Christmas is very strange - it doesn't look "natural" - but it does seem to have happened across most age groups, not just the vaccinated, so it's hard to understand. I don't know.
What seems to be very clear - and the worldwide picture on this seems consistent - is that the vaccines have been far from the magic solution everyone was led to believe in. They haven't made things appreciably better, and in terms of overall mortality appear to making things worse. But this was clear even in the trial data provided from Big Pharma - the overall health outcomes of the vaccinated participants were worse than in the placebo group.
The cognitive dissonance and outright denial going on right now is astonishing. It's really gone religious, not scientific. I've been a professional scientist in both academia and industry and what I've witnessed over the last 20 months has appalled me - the dogmatic adherence to a particular narrative, despite plenty of legitimate counter-evidence, has been reprehensible and indefensible - and not part of anything I would recognise as science.
Thanks for replying - agree with everything you say. I find it hard to understand how so many in the professions closely associated with dealing first hand with the pandemic have gone along with the propaganda. I feel if I as a layman can do a bit of research and find out a bit more background to covid19 why haven't so many directly involved. I would have been thought it would form part of their professional development, whereas I should have been reading archaeology reports over the past 18 months, not learning about epidemiology etc. I enjoy your posts for the more light hearted asides and for presenting matters in an easy to understand manner for the non-scientist. Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed by the statistics some people present.
