To understand it, you need to know that excess mortality “refers to the number of deaths from all causes during a crisis above and beyond what we would have expected to see under ‘normal’ conditions. So this number would include not only deaths due to COVID-19 but also to suicides related to job loss and social isolation, opioid overdoses, homicides from couples spending too much time together at home, etc. “Excess mortality is a more comprehensive measure of the total impact of the pandemic on deaths than the confirmed COVID-19 death count alone.”
If you go to the Our World In Data website, you can play around with the chart, even inputting the name of your country of interest. I put in the U.S. The graph generated excessive mortality starting sometime in early March 2020 and runs through October 24, 2021. The peak of excess mortality was on January 3, 2021, which roughly divides the first half of the pandemic with the second half (thus far). Comparing the first and last halves by “area under the curve,” it looks like excess mortality is going to be less in 2021 than it was in 2020, although clearly above typical years. So good news for the U.S.! Unless COVID-19 mortality spikes in November and December. Click for CDC’s Covid Data Tracker for cases and deaths, which is fairly up to date.
We should have total death numbers for the U.S. in late January, 2022.
This article pertains to Scotland only and notes that “Scotland has very much been experiencing a ‘Pandemic of the Fully Vaccinated’ since at least August [2021].” Furthermore…
The data available from Public Health Scotland stretching back 14 weeks proves very much that this is a pandemic of the fully vaccinated, and with the vaccinated accounting for 6 in every 10 cases (57%), 7 in every 10 hospitalisations (70%), and 9 in every 10 Covid-19 deaths (85%) since at least August, this also proves that the Covid-19 vaccines have already been ineffective for months.
The article would have been more if helpful if it cited overall COVID -19 cases, hospitalizations, and death this year compared to last year’s same months (Sept, Oct, Nov). You can do the research.
The primary linked article is at The Expose. I have to take it with a grain of salt, if only because the “About” page doesn’t say who is the owner, publisher, or editor. Are they grifters or do they fear retribution from the powers that be?
Source is The Epoch Times. The FDA apparently claims they don’t have the staff to produce the documents in a timely fashion:
That discovery, and a desire to make sure it can work on other Freedom of Information Act requests at the same time, prompted the fresh request to the judge to allow production of roughly 12,000 pages by Jan. 31, 2022, and 500 pages per month thereafter.
That timeline would take it until at least 2096, Aaron Siri, a lawyer working on the case, wrote in a blog post.
“If you find what you are reading difficult to believe—that is because it is dystopian for the government to give Pfizer billions, mandate Americans to take its product, prohibit Americans from suing for harms, but yet refuse to let Americans see the data underlying its licensure,” Siri said.
Do you think there may be something in the requested documents that the FDA and Pfizer don’t want us to see?
Poor FDA. Their budget for 2021 was only $6 billion.
This study is very preliminary and may have no applicability to living humans. The study was done in tissue cultures. And you may not have to worry about this unless you received a vaccine based on full-length spike-based protein.

“In this multistate analysis of hospitalizations for COVID-19–like illness among adults aged ≥18 years during January–September 2021 whose previous infection or vaccination occurred 90–179 days earlier, the adjusted odds of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were higher among unvaccinated and previously infected patients than among those who were fully vaccinated with 2 doses of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine without previous documentation of a SARS-CoV-2 infection.”

The patient is wise to look away. If you watch the needle go in, it’ll hurt more.
The study at hand compared thousands of folks in Israel who got the booster dose with those who didn’t. Everybody got the original Pfizer 2-shot vaccine at least six months previously. The study period included some months when the delta variant was dominant (about seven weeks starting in August 2021). Median follow-up of study participants was a surprisingly low 13 days.
Nevertheless, the booster seemed to reduce hospitalization, severe disease, and death from COVID-19.
1,564,000 adults were tested for COVID-19 between April 1 and August 15, 2021. Of those, 114, 706 had a positive PCR test for COVID-19 and were deemed “cases” irrespective of symptoms. 201 deaths were attributed to COVID-19.
The AztraZeneca vaccine was also judged very effective against death.
As of mid-June 2021, 80% of the adults in Scotland had received at least the first dose of a vaccine. Scotland has 5.5 million residents.
“At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days (Fig. 1). In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people. Notably, Israel with over 60% of their population fully vaccinated had the highest COVID-19 cases per 1 million people in the last 7 days. The lack of a meaningful association between percentage population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases is further exemplified, for instance, by comparison of Iceland and Portugal. Both countries have over 75% of their population fully vaccinated and have more COVID-19 cases per 1 million people than countries such as Vietnam and South Africa that have around 10% of their population fully vaccinated.
Across the US counties too, the median new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in the last 7 days is largely similar across the categories of percent population fully vaccinated (Fig. 2). Notably there is also substantial county variation in new COVID-19 cases within categories of percentage population fully vaccinated. There also appears to be no significant signaling of COVID-19 cases decreasing with higher percentages of population fully vaccinated (Fig. 3).”
So why are vaccines being mandated? Cui bono? Big Pharma. Us sheep are being fleeced.

PS: I admit the possibility that the vaccines reduce the odds of hospitalization and death. I await further data. But can we trust date generated and released by Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J?
