No really, what happened in August?
Looking at the deaths by age, 2021 vs 2020
Building on my last post showing that starting in August of 2021, the COVID deaths were much higher than might be expected given the vaccination rates, I wanted to see if we could look one step down into the various age brackets. What I see is alarming.
*Note: The total deaths in this post will not match those in the previous post. Reason being, when possible I use the US County level deaths and cases data that is published weekly by the CDC (I get it via USA Facts) . Those are the source for the aggregate numbers in the last post. Unfortunately, those numbers are not reported by age. The source I have found that includes age is the Provisional Deaths Report . I’m not sure why the totals would differ, but they do. In any case, hopefully they differ in a reliable way that does not change the story.
Ok, let’s again look at the months of April-Sept which are the months we should see impact of vaccines. Here is the comparison of 2020 vs 2021 COVID deaths by age for those months (each age group has different scale on y-axis):
Ages 75 & up: We see dramatic reductions in deaths April-July. In August & September, deaths look fairly similar to 2020 for 85+ and a bit worse for 75-84.
55-74: Pretty good reduction April-July. August looks bad & September looks really bad.
<55: Fair to good reductions until July. August & September? We move into WTF is going on territory? Seriously, WTF. By August, at least 58% of 45-54 years olds were fully vaccinated & 3.5x as many people in that age group died with COVID in Aug 2021 vs Aug 2022. In Sept 2021, it was more than 5x the 2020 rate. Looks even more dramatic in the younger groups.
Looking for explanations. I would like to compare cases in the same way to see if it’s been an explosion of cases in those age ranges, or more death/case but I don’t know a source to get cases by age group by month. If someone does, please let me know.
And there's always this: "Probable Misclassification of Vaccine Deaths as COVID-19 Deaths"

I've been thinking about the 2020 and 2021 excess deaths, trying to figure out what might explain them. It might help to see deaths/100K by age group by month for each major cause of death, from 2015 through 2021, to see if that reveals any insights. Could also add up the plausible covid-spike categories (blood clot-related and consequent damage) and look at those aggregates. But the data has been eluding me. Do you have a way to find this detail?
Another input is the number of covid cases per 100K for 2020/2021. It's plausible that some cases of covid would result in spike at the same level (or higher) than vaccination, so could cause the same injuries we see from the vaccine. What's curious is that ER visits seem to be elevated from vaccine injuries in 2021, but did we see that in 2020? So ER visits by age group by month would also help.
I feel like there are pieces of this here and there, but it's hard to really analyze without all the data in one easy-to-manipulate place...
Do you have any thoughts on what of this is available, where to get it, etc? Would you like to talk about this, voice can be much more productive.
