A publication now at researchgate.net, with Norman Fenton, documents that official mortality data for England, for both Covid and non-Covid deaths, the two weeks of post first vaccination deaths have been omitted from the official ONS dataset, a pattern which is repeated in all age groups over 60. The paper speculates that this may be due to including miscategorisation, reporting lags and data handling or transcription errors. My own explanation is much simpler: it is to keep mortality data down. In any case, the conclusion is strong for academics: “The dataset is therefore corrupted, making any inferences about vaccine efficacy or safety that are reliant on the data, moot. Accordingly, the ONS should publicly withdraw their dataset and call for the retraction of any claims made by others that are based upon it.”
