One compounding factor in all this is the defenition of the cause of death. Over here in NZ we currently have about 900 publically announced Covid deaths, defined as any death within 28 days of a positive Covid test. 700 of these deaths were people over 70, yet only 24 ever went into ICU, to be put on a mechanical ventilator, or in other words only 3.5% were disressed enough to need breathing assistance. Also, the current NZ government website states that only 84 of the 900 deaths are considered to be caused by Covid19 as the u derlying cause, or around 9%. Also, the regional manager of the most populous hospitals in NZ, said 2/3 of the "Covid" patients were not admitted to hospital for reasons associated with Covid. So obviously many people are not dying of Covid, but it looks scary to people who don't anaylise the data. It looks less scary for folk like myself who have known for months that Covid, particularly Omicron, is a mild disease and does not warrant mandated vaccination .
Note also that all cause mortality in NZ is skyrocketing, with 2021, almost 7% higher than 2020, mainly after the vaccine rollout and 2022 is currently 8% higher than 2021, despite a soft January. These are facts that cannot be disputed, as I get them from the Stats NZ website: https://www.stats.govt.nz/experimental/covid-19-data-portal
Under the Health Category, selecting for All Cause Deaths
It works for me. It seems I cannot share a screenshot with you. If you click on the link ANF wait about 30 seconds, the portal will fully open. When it does, select Health. In the top criteria, select All Cause Deaths from the drop down box. If you use landscape, a sliding time scale appears.
