The UK has introduced a new method for estimating excess deaths, a collaborative effort led by Dan Ayoubkhani and involving entities like ONS, NISRA, NatRecordsScot, and others, initially started by Sarah Caul. This method, aimed at providing a more accurate count of excess deaths, has been published and is set to be implemented across various statistical agencies, as explained by Julie Stanborough, Deputy Director Data & Analysis for Social Care & Health at the ONS. The development of this method comes in response to the high numbers of excess deaths following the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among young and middle-aged adults, highlighted in a speech by Philip Davies in the UK Parliament. Critics and commentators, including Dr. Pierre Kory and Edward Dowd, who published methodology papers on measuring excess deaths in September of 2022, have expressed mixed reactions. Some view it as a necessary step towards better data accuracy, while others criticize it as a way to manipulate public perception of death rates post-pandemic.
In September of 2022 we published two methodology papers on measuring excess deaths in the UK & US. Perhaps we anticipated this maneuver 😏. https://t.co/aKh4mDIGE8 https://t.co/8Tl25ZhBHF
If you enjoy propaganda, you'll LOVE this from the UK government😂 They've realised TOO MANY people have died in the last few years, SO they have come up with a NEW method to calculate excess deaths, so there are NO MORE excess deaths! That's SMART👀 https://t.co/quTUc9jqOB
