Young people (those under 45 years of age) are continuing to die of SARS-CoV-2 infections ("COVID") at a very high rate Yet the increase in mortality among the young gets virtually no notice in the media Why is that?

How do we better measure the impact of a disease when it is widely acknowledged that traditional methods of measuring disease mortality are inaccurate? One tool is "excess death" analysis This is simply a comparison of current mortality to a historic baseline

Here's an example of excess death analysis The white line represents the number of deaths per month that we EXPECT, given history The black line represents the ACTUAL number of deaths each month Expected vs. Actual Yes, it's as simple as that

Excess mortality is underestimated bc mortality displacement. Excess mortality: people die before expected → lower expected mortality in later periods → compare new expected mortality with actual mortality. See example 👇+ NL 2021/22 www.hanslugtigheid.nl/excess-morta... (+ explanation estimates etc)

Yeah, except we don't see that happening in any age bracket other than those aged 45-74 years old For all other ages, particularly the young, mortality continues at a very high rate

It is not something that you see/observe from the numbers. Lowering the expected mortality means that at the beginning of the years following 2020 you have to lower the value of the baseline in those years. Then you see/calculate excess mortality go up.

Note that the black and white lines converge again in February of 2024 Does that mean the SARS-CoV-2 ("COVID") pandemic only lasted from 2020-2024? No. And I am going to tell you why...

Those charts were for deaths in ALL ages Since most people wait until they are old to die, the statistics in that chart are flooded by the ordinary, expected, deaths of old people and old people die, as I said, all the time So take a look at this chart

That's the same chart as I did for all ages except it's now restricted to the 5-17yo age group Why does that chart look so different than the all-ages one? More important, why does it look like the pandemic did not end in February 2024 for children? Here's why
