WHERE IS THE POST COVID ANALYSIS

Remember the lockdown days? Ah, those were the times, right? Our leaders were on every screen, in every ear, preaching the impending doom—massive deaths just around the corner, they said. It was like living in a bad sci-fi movie where the script keeps changing but the plot is always ‘doom is nigh.’ And let’s not forget the cherry on top: being forced to do things that made about as much sense as a screen door on a submarine.

You had to stay six feet apart, couldn’t see grandma, and heaven forbid if you wanted to breathe some fresh air in a park. All this, while the big box stores could herd us in like cattle—yeah, that’s safe, right? The numbers just don’t add up to the catastrophic forecasts we were handed. Now, I’m all for safety, but when the dust settles and we’re left looking at the real data, it starts to feel like we were part of a very unwelcome global experiment. Where’s the accountability? Or are we just waiting for the sequel nobody asked for?

I’ve got one burning question: Where is the post-pandemic review? I mean, shouldn’t we be diving deep into the data, figuring out what went right, what went wrong—kind of like a post-game analysis after the Super Bowl? Instead, it’s radio silence. It’s like everyone’s packed up and moved on to the next crisis without so much as a backward glance.

We need a thorough review, not just a pat on the back and a ‘better luck next time.’ Let’s demand it. Where’s the transparency? Where’s the deep dive into the numbers, the strategies, and, yes, the mistakes? This isn’t just about curiosity; it’s about preparation, about learning, about ensuring we never get caught so off-guard again. So, let’s start asking the hard questions and demand that post-pandemic review—loud and clear. Because frankly, folks, without it, we’re just waiting for the next big wave without a surfboard.

And let’s not get sidetracked by the vaccine narrative either. Before anyone jumps in with, ‘But the vaccine saved us,’ let’s look at the facts. Even the NIH has admitted that the so-called vaccine—oh, pardon me, ‘gene therapy’—wasn’t the pandemic panacea we were sold. It didn’t stop the spread. What it did do was offer moderate efficacy, and that mostly for folks over 65. And now, what are we hearing? That natural immunity played a major role.

That’s right, the kind of immunity that’s as old as dirt is finally getting its due recognition, long after we were all but forced into line for a jab that was more of a band-aid than a cure. So, while we’re digging for that elusive post-pandemic review, let’s not gloss over these revelations. We need a full, unfiltered look at everything—vaccines, lockdowns, natural immunity—the whole nine yards. It’s time to pull back the curtain and really see what worked, what didn’t, and why the grand solution wasn’t so grand after all.

From the data available in the document, the key categories that showed a notable decrease in deaths between 2018 and 2020 are:

1. Influenza and Pneumonia (J09-J18): There was a significant decrease in deaths attributed to influenza and pneumonia from 2018 to 2020. In 2018, there were 17,275.6 deaths, which dropped to 12,147.7 in 2020, and further to 8,292.4 in 2021 .
2. Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases (J40-J47): This category also saw a decrease. In 2018, there were 26,258.8 deaths, which decreased to 23,799.6 in 2020 .
3. Intentional Self-Harm (Suicide) (X60-X84, Y87.0): Deaths in this category decreased from 9,219.1 in 2018 to 8,370.8 in 2020, and further to 7,603.7 in 2021 .

The introduction of COVID-19 as a cause of death led to a redistribution of deaths that may have otherwise been categorized under influenza, pneumonia, and chronic lower respiratory diseases. The significant drop in these categories can be attributed to the overlap in symptoms and complications caused by respiratory illnesses, which could have been reclassified as COVID-19 as it became a prevalent cause of death starting in 2020.

In summary, the categories that showed a decrease and could explain the offset of COVID-19 deaths without significantly increasing the overall death counts are primarily influenza and pneumonia, and chronic lower respiratory diseases. This redistribution indicates that many deaths that might have been attributed to these causes were instead classified as COVID-19 related.

In addition to the decrease in deaths from influenza and pneumonia, and chronic lower respiratory diseases, the data shows decreases in other categories that contribute to offsetting the number of deaths attributed to COVID-19. Here are some additional categories that showed significant decreases:

1. Intentional Self-Harm (Suicide) (X60-X84, Y87.0): Decreased from 9,219.1 in 2018 to 8,370.8 in 2020, and further to 7,603.7 in 2021.
2. Diseases of Heart (I00-I09, I11, I13, I20-I51): Although this category shows fluctuations, it can also contribute to reclassification as COVID-19 deaths sometimes involve cardiovascular complications.
3. Accidents (Unintentional Injuries) (V01-X59, Y85-Y86): Deaths decreased from 31,849.5 in 2018 to 29,302.1 in 2020.

Here are the causes of deaths that seemed to decrease as 2019 approached and onward, based on the provided data:

1. Influenza and Pneumonia (J09-J18)
   • 2018: 17,275.6 deaths
   • 2019: 14,896.8 deaths
   • 2020: 12,147.7 deaths
   • 2021: 8,292.4 deaths
2. Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases (J40-J47)
   • 2018: 26,258.8 deaths
   • 2019: 25,499.1 deaths
   • 2020: 23,799.6 deaths
3. Intentional Self-Harm (Suicide) (X60-X84, Y87.0)
   • 2018: 9,219.1 deaths
   • 2019: 8,994.4 deaths
   • 2020: 8,370.8 deaths
   • 2021: 7,603.7 deaths
4. Accidents (Unintentional Injuries) (V01-X59, Y85-Y86)
   • 2018: 31,849.5 deaths
   • 2019: 31,411.7 deaths
   • 2020: 29,302.1 deaths
5. Diseases of Heart (I00-I09, I11, I13, I20-I51)
   • 2018: 103,273.1 deaths
   • 2019: 101,499.2 deaths
   • 2020: 98,987.6 deaths

These decreases, combined with those previously mentioned, suggest that many deaths that might have been attributed to these causes were instead classified as COVID-19, contributing to the overall COVID-19 death numbers without a significant increase in total deaths.

Therefore, it is accurate to state that the COVID-19 deaths reported were largely a result of reclassification from these other causes rather than an entirely new set of additional deaths.

Based on the analysis of the data from 2018 to 2020, it is evident that there is no significant increase in the total number of deaths reported, despite the emergence of COVID-19 as a new cause of death. This suggests that a substantial portion of deaths attributed to COVID-19 are likely redistributed from other causes, rather than representing a surge in overall mortality. Categories such as influenza and pneumonia, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and accidents saw notable decreases during this period, indicating that many of these deaths were reclassified as COVID-19. Thus, it is more accurate to consider these COVID-19 deaths as categorized causes of death, reflecting a reclassification rather than an actual increase in net new deaths.
