I’ve mentioned previously that the roll out of a dose of vaccine has been associated with an increase in excess deaths (eg, here), and we seem to have seen the same effect in March.
At around the 21st March (week 12) England started to roll out the spring booster doses for those aged over 75 (and other vulnerable individuals). By the 7th April (week 14) the NHS had congratulated itself with the announcement that over 1 million doses had been given.
Here’s the data (from Euromomo) for excess deaths in England for those aged 75-85 since the start of the year:
I’ve highlighted the period where the million booster doses were delivered.
I note that we managed to get through the Omicron wave in the UK with normal levels of excess deaths in those aged 75-85, but as soon as the booster doses were rolled out we rapidly hit the threshold for a ‘substantial increase’.
Of course, it might be a coincidence — we have had rather a lot of coincidences over the last 15 months.
Thanks for that easy to understand graph. So sad. What are people thinking taking repeated injections? (A rhetorical question of course, I know that they are propagandized and thinking within the range they've been told to think).

The lockdown in China: if the powerful are doing something that looks stupid, it's because whatever they’re doing IS actually stupid
I received several comments on my post "The Shanghai Lockdown: a Memetic Analysis," and I think that some were so interesting to be worth reproducing in a full-fledged post. The first comment comes from an anonymous commenter living in China. It seems to me believable, and also consistent with my interpretation.
In practice, the Chinese were (and are) not the only one who are conditioned by factors such as avoiding a loss of face.
Italians did the same during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021.
There seems to be an enormous psychological problem that when you discover that you have been conned, you don't want to admit that. It makes little difference if you are Chinese, Italian, or another nationality.
There follows a comment by "Mon Seul Desir" on which I fully agree. So much that I used it in a condensed version for the title of this post.
When something looks insane, most likely, it IS insane.
