Ireland avoided excess deaths during core pandemic years

[TWGL1]

The OECD reviewed the methodology used to calculate excess deaths and accounted for demographic trends in each country.

Ireland’s total population increased by 8% between the 2016 and 2022 census while the number of people aged 65 and over increased by 22% during the same period. This is more than double the 10% increase in the EU 27 countries in the same time period.

Adjusting mortality rates to take account of these changes has shown that Ireland did not record excess mortality during 2020-2022. In fact, Ireland had a lower than expected death rate.

Yet at the end of 2023 Ireland is 2nd in #EU League Table of 20 out of 27 member states with excess mortality

An eye watering 17.8% above base rate

There will be someone along in a minute that will take that data and dismiss and use another set of data that fits their own narrative. Same goes for people dying of a heart attack - having no prior history. The same data change was recorded in the UK, Israel, South Africa. It seems odd that countries report the same data change. But unless you evaluate each individual case there is always a way to dismiss it as nonsense. Dr Asseem Malhotra is a perfect case, a cardiologist, pro vax and vaccinated people live on TV in order to get people covered etc - he raised doubts - based on data - and was labelled a nutter by the usual brain idiots (some of whom frequent here).

Its madness

Many experts have since said that owing to the multiple different ways that countries defined and recorded deaths “due to Covid”, as well as challenges in correctly attributing the cause of death, fatalities per million may not be the most useful yardstick.
