Covid Mortality Statistics
Answer to Canadian Authorities
The Article
Scientific article published in a peer-reviewed journal financed and run by government of Canada in which several co-authors including Tam, who has been coordinating COVID measures in Canada.
Modeling study which concludes that if they had not used the COVID-measures (distancing, masks, vaccination, lockdowns, closing care-homes), they would have had 1,000,000 more deaths.
Obscene in the context of all-cause mortality being studied for years.
This begs a response, in the context of the paper Rancourt/Mercier/Beaudin produced on all-cause mortality in Canada.
Notes
Other countries did not go as far in terms of over-representing the benefits of their measures.
The Response
An article published on ResearchGate
Methodology
How data was looked at in Canada
- All-cause mortality (all deaths in an area by time)
- Deaths where COVID is attributed as the main cause of death
- Weekly deaths from beginning of February 2020
Deaths Progression
- No anomalies in all-cause mortality prior to pandemic
- Excess all-cause mortality visible right after announcement
- The degree to which nothing happens until the WHO makes an announcement
- Sharp initial peak is the most institutionally-mediated, and is the largest peak
All-Cause
- Winter peaks
- Amplitude of seasonal death oscillation is smaller, compared to the total number of deaths happening
- But always a death peak, nontheless
- First COVID peak is still comparable to some previous seasonal peaks -
