ABSTRACT: EXCESS MORTALITY: What really caused it, really?I will present our group’s five years of rigorous analysis of excess mortality during the COVID-19 era, including The Netherlands as an example. High-resolution geotemporal patterns on several continents show that viral disease spread did not cause the observed excess all-cause mortality. The mortality patterns are contrary to aviation and societal transmission; instead, they synchronize with imposed local measures and institutional practices. Vaccine rollouts often closely associate with large mortality peaks, but we attribute this primarily to concomitant assaults and severe disruptions of care rather than the known direct toxicity of the injections. The COVID-19 pandemic event echoes historical pandemics and wars over millennia, which followed long periods of increasing economic predation causing large-scale socially heterogeneous extreme poverty and chronic health deficiencies, accompanied by shrill propaganda and fear. At the highest level, a solution would be to dismantle geo-economic and investor predation and the elite systemic corruption that drives it. This work supports evidence-based reform.
