The State of Things Pandemic – Week 12 2024

From The Ethical Skeptic:

A summary of excess mortality in the United States: A comprehensive analysis for Week 12 of 2024 – marking the 212th week of the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic. This article provides an in-depth examination of various factors contributing to increased mortality rates, including an assessment of the primary causes. Despite facing challenges in visibility due to varying degrees of allowance and dissemination across platforms like Apple, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook, this analysis strives to present an unbiased, evidence-based perspective on this excess mortality.

Week 12 2024 Highlights:

  • Cancer is now the third largest excess death category, behind ‘unknown’ and ‘uncommon’ death causes
  • Covid is down to 576 deaths per week, even with over-attribution
  • We are in what I call the ‘Spring Lull’ where pull forward effect does a little whipsaw each year and makes everything look peachy, when it is not.
  • True US Excess Mortality = 5.6% for Week 12 2024
  • Chart of the Week: Sudden Cardiac Death Ages 0-54 = 66.3% or 21-sigma excess, which began 12 days after the rollout of the shots 14 Dec 2020 and has not abated in the least. 125,000 dead younger persons – and the government/media are silent.
