Global deaths under-reported

Under reporting of deaths, 19 months into the pandemic

Total deaths, 5,018,949

Total cases, 247,883,004

Total vaccine doses, 7,129,732,439

World Health Organization

Based on the excess mortality estimates produced for 2020

we are likely facing a significant undercount of total deaths directly and indirectly attributed to COVID-19

Many countries still lack functioning civil registration and vital statistics systems

Percentage of registered deaths

98% in the European

10% in the African region

Comparisons difficult

Excess mortality

The difference in the total number of deaths in a crisis,

compared to those expected under normal conditions

Therefore, includes direct and indirect impact

WHO, 2020 data

Official, 1,813,100

Lower bound, 3 million

Region of the Americas in 2020

Excess mortality estimates range from 1.34 to 1.46 million

60% more than reported

European Region in 2020

Excess mortality estimates range from

1.11 to 1.21 million

50% more than reported

Excess death calculations

Actual worldwide toll, 16.8 million excess deaths

95% probability, 10.3 million to 19.5 million

Official versus actual deaths (Economist)

Brazil, deaths = 608,071
Brazil, deaths = 660,000 to 740,000

Factors

Death tolls are heavily influenced by the age structure of a country’s population

Rely on the assumption that officially published excess-mortality numbers are accurate

Covid-19 disruption, some governments may have changed how they compile data

Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, University of Washington

Total deaths are the estimated number of deaths attributable to COVID-19, including unreported deaths.

Reported and unreported deaths, 11.9 million

Governments have rigorously avoided investigation of excess deaths, making it impossible to assign attribution. Autopsies rarely done. Why is that?

[austindenotter]

The key word missing in the description of all of these numbers from all the various governments and organizations is the word honesty.

[vikingh]

Dr John, you should do a video about the latest article in the British medical journal about the vaccine trial whistleblower who got sacked and how the FDA ignored all her findings and didn’t come to inspect, falsification etc

[Jollyprez]

"Patients that were not otherwise treated.." You mean like Americans? The protocols STILL deny that early treatment is desirable. Crazy.

[GotMountains]

Is there any attempt to determine how many of these excess deaths are mental health, domestic violence, or suicide related? Here in Canada, our increase in opioid deaths alone have already outpaced covid deaths. That would be a huge factor in these calculations.

[theresacroghan]

Thank you for clarifying these studies. Who would have guessed the governments would lie. What do you call people who don't trust the government? History buffs

[eemah]

question regarding WHO documentation/reports: Would you consider the WHO sources to be credible?. Is the WHO incentivized to be accurate or to exaggerate the numbers?

[stevencrosby]

How many people died just of covid. No heart problems, no weight problems, no lung problems. Try to tell the truth. Your talking to a world of people who have been lied to. Give it a try Doc!

[epicchannel]

Why is it then that the excess deaths in UK and Ireland seem staggered this year and only start rising as a certain medical procedure is rolling out, age 17 to 24 only started rising in past few months.
Why is it that in the UK the vast majority of excess deaths have been heart attacks and strokes and cardiovascular events?

[EZBISME]

Got my Moderna booster today. I let them know that intravenous delivery may be linked to pericarditis and myocarditis. I then asked how they know they didn’t deliver to the vein accidentally. They responded, “I guess if we see blood after, then maybe it went in a vein.” Failure at CVS.

[stephenrichards]

WHO are doing it again. Guessing and saying it's accurate.

[stellasole]

The one thing that I've learned from my experience growing up in a dysfunctional home is this: Don't try & make sense of the crazy.
It's confusing on purpose, it keeps people running in circles trying to "figure it out" & that is what it is designed to do.
It is not "our" responsibility to figure out why the data doesn't make sense, or how; it is the responsibility of the organisations to produce clear, transparent information. IMO *that* is part of their duty of care.
Everything I have seen this far has been a complete failure & breach of trust.

[bohacekml]

I don't think it's underreported in the Americas. Hospitals were categorizing deaths that so happened to have COVID, but not caused by COVID. It definitely needs to be audited and investigated for the true COVID deaths.

[Yabroproductions]

So suicides, drug overdoses and murders are included.

[borisliptsen]

The Italian Higher Institute of Health has drastically reduced the country’s official COVID death toll number by over 97 per cent after changing the definition of a fatality to someone who died from COVID rather than with COVID.

[RestoreJustice]

And Anthony Fauci is still walking around as a free man. WHY?

[bushcraftallday]

I've always had a question maybe someone can answer.
Why aren't influenza deaths counted year after year like covid deaths? They both have different variants each year.

[essanjay]

Anyone read the article in the BMJ of 2 November entitled "Covid 19: Researcher Blows the Whistle on data Integrity Issues in Pfizer's Vaccine Trial"? I hope you can cover it JC.

If you’re reading this, glad you’re still here! 😊

Equally Vaers adverse reactions are also vastly unreported.
