and we’re running out of excuses to deflect blame
you’re probably not going to see a great deal about this in the US press, but it’s starting to leak out in places like the UK where the hand in glove aspect of mainstream media and state is not quite as complete.
we are, however, still mired in ideas of “unexplained” which feels like a bit of a figleaf and media and state alike are grasping around for “reasons” that are not too damaging for narrative. and easy early one onto which to latch is “lockdowns did this” and treating it as some sort of hangover effect.
the argument largely goes like this:
and while there is likely some truth to it, this explanation does not seem terribly satisfactory.
you can certainly increase deaths by swamping care and preventing early detection of risks, but it does not generate this kind of rise in overall mortality. these claims are associative, but lack any clear linkage.
it feels like a mantra being spoken over and over to focus the mind away from what might actually be going on and to “plead poor to get more funding” which is, of course, the oldest trick in the public services book. (and one that seems less than convincing when there sure still seems to be plenty of dosh for the diversitycrats and their endless woke depredations)
these deaths look concentrated in cancers and heart conditions. both are known side effects of the covid vaccines. both were warned against endlessly but these warnings were ignored.
in their place, we got sustained campaigns of gaslighting like the infamous “everything causes heart attacks in young people now” and the myth of covid caused myo and pericarditis that has since been disproven.
and so the story had to change from this to something new.
and as can be seen above, we’re onto “lockdown deferred care” as “explication du jour” but i doubt this one will hold up either.
the fact is that we’ve been casting around all year for some explanation that the public will buy that explains the truly dissonant state of what’s going on in the all cause deaths arena. and the public is rapidly running out of credulity.
you only get to change your answer to this question so many times before no one listens to you anymore and the retrenchment back to “blaming policy” instead of the dozens of exogenous causes that have one by one failed to pan out and fallen by the wayside represents a start of the move into “endgame.”
this is the beginning of the acceptance of policy culpability and that’s a very meaningful change.
and it’s going to set up the next shoes to fall. and there are some no fooling around clodhoppers getting ready to drop…
the data on heart risk and heart damage from covid vaccines is pretty unequivocal at this point. they have been discontinued in the young in many countries because the risk clearly outweighs the benefit and the elevated death rates are concentrated in the young and healthy, precisely those who seem to bear the worst brunt of this adverse event.
