Six years on from the first lockdown, this article looks at excess deaths from just one condition, gall stones, and considers the likelihood of a much larger and still unacknowledged catastrophe of indirect harm.

Inconvenient Deaths
How the return to baseline reveals the hidden excess Dr Clare Craig FRCPath The 2025 death registration data for England is now available. It offers a chance to revisit a benchmark: the ONS 2018 population and mortality projections, published before the pandemic, before lockdown, and before any changes in methodology. According to those projections, deaths […]
Killing not Care
Module 6 of the UK C-19 Inquiry has just completed taking evidence, and much of it has been very harrowing. The overwhelming impression is of numerous unnecessary deaths, not from covid-19 but from loneliness, neglect, dehydration, denial of access to basic medical care, and most seriously the blanket application of DNAR notices across care homes for the elderly and even for young adult with disabilities, often without the patient’s consent or the family’s knowledge. Read this and tell me that the Terminally Ill (End of Life) Bill will be remotely equipped to prevent abuse and coercion.
Watson et al debunked?
Watson et al’s Lancet article claiming 14-20 million lives saved by Covid vaccines always stretched the credulity of HART members but it is still widely quoted as the gain to ofset ‘rare’ vaccine injuries. Steve Kirsch casts more doubts on the methodology used.
A twist in the clot?
Suppose there had never been a public narrative of a novel virus – how might the rise in clotting-related deaths have been interpreted? Would we have examined alternative explanations more seriously?
MPs have been busy writing letters
Graham Stringer MP, co-chair of the Pandemic Response and Recovery APPG has sent yet a third letter to Steve Brine MP, Health and Social Care Committee chairman, raising further concerns about the MHRA.
Too many deaths are to be expected
Mathematical modelling has a role to play in predicting deaths but as with all modelling it needs to be used very carefully. We have seen modellers who make the assumption that everyone was susceptible to covid then producing dramatic graphs that show everyone would catch it. We’ve also seen modellers who assumed masks worked then producing dramatic graphs of how they could minimise covid. Of all modelling crimes, putting your conclusion into your assumptions is surely the worst.
Trying to bargain away the excess deaths problem
Politicians fancied themselves as heroes in 2020. They were saving lives. Having played doctor with the population they are now being shown the fallout and it is not pretty. They are working through the stages of grief.
Another parliamentary debate but still no straight answers published

Joint Open Letter to the Secretary of State
When will the Secretary of State order an investigation into vaccine harms? Excess deaths and increasing levels of sickness but still no transparent investigation.
Excess mortality in England post Covid-19 pandemic
Lancet article co-authored by Sarah
Caul, MBE, finally acknowledges that excess deaths are a problem but is recommending a timely granular analysis rather than doing one.
Trends in Excess Deaths, 20th October 2023
“We have experienced more excess deaths since July 2021 than in the whole of 2020. Unlike during the pandemic, however, those deaths are not disproportionately of the old. In other words, the excess deaths are striking down people in the prime of life. No one seems to care.”

Cumulative excess deaths 2020-2022 — an international comparison
