"The article gives two areas of increase v 2019 Covid: 38k Healthcare issus: 21k (based on mid point of 400pw) That's almost 60k 2022 saw 650k of deaths. 9pc more than 2019. Suggesting 2019 was 596k and so 2022 had 54k extra deaths. So that predicted by COVID and healthcare crisis. And if I'm being sexist, which group of people do o think will say "fuck it" when faced with a queue at hospital. Men. Who's most at risk of premature death. Middle aged ppl. So who is more likely to have a spike from poor health care. Middle age men. " Facts. The conspiratorial cabal like facts to distract from the jibby conspiracy jabby  | |||

"Bbc article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64209221 So there has been a huge increase in excess deaths, up 9% from 2019. It's not covid doing it. One of the things they point out is that there has been a huge increase in cardiac problems. We know the covid jabs cause heart and clotting issues. But no according to the BBC it's not the vaccine, it's covid itself. But say hypothetically that's true, that means that not only did the jab fail to stop you getting covid, it failed to stop you dying from covid either. What a clown show." Say you don't understand something without saying you don't understand something...... If I had a quid for every time you've posted that the vaccines don't stop you getting covid and it's been explained to you, I'd gave more money than Pfizer.

The vaccine was not to stop someone catching COVID. Vaccines are to prepare your body for after you catch the virus. | |||

It could be that it stopped SOME people from catching covid and stopped SOME people from getting ill and it stopped SOME people from dying a hideous gasping death.? Could it? I agree there's lots of smelly stuff all around this episode but from a pure analysis of that story.. Your conclusion is fairly agenda led. | |||

" Plus ten years of austerity and decades of neglect. Lockdown just sped up the process is all." No, don't really agree with that. The NHS has never been better funded in real terms. Most of the NHS stopped working during the lockdowns. Absolute scandal and the figures are backing it up. What is also a scandal is that the mainstream media aren't reporting these figures in full , in just the same way they reported every death with covid , with relish. Funny eh? | |||

No the article highlighted that people have been missing appointments for coronary problems that would usually be screened out. The figures show that there are 10s of thousands of people who are missing diagnosis and medication. They’re basically ticking time bombs. | |||

" Ok, fair enough. I suspect it's an intersection of disruptions, underfunding as compared to demand, Brexit exodus of staff, and Covid itself. (I'm sure that side effects of vaccines are an effect here, but I'm unsure that that rises to statistical significance* across the entire system) * I'm not saying that side effects of vaccines aren't significant for those who experience them. I'm saying that they are not a high enough percentage of patient contacts to have a noticeable effect on the service as a whole) | |||

"Erm...check out the excess death stats" There are more people dying. The cause of that isn't entirely clear. The longer it goes since the few months of half measure lockdowns we had, the sillier this argument sounds. | |||

But in my opinion it's one of a few things that have been different in the last few years that have led to changes... so believe it's one of a few contributory factors. We don't need scientists to tell us everything. It makes perfect sense that if someone is unable to attend 2 years ago to get heart or cancer (or other) diagnoses and treatments.. And we let illness go undiagnosed and untreated for 2 years... Then people will get sicker and some unfortunately will die. Unless we are of the opinion that delaying diagnosis and treatment has no material impact... In which case you'd kind of question the need for huge chunks of the nhs. | |||

Lots of people work hard and long hours in many businesses. But aren't used as a reason for poor performance. | |||

"There’s very little evidence suggesting a cause of the excess deaths. It is likely to be multi factorial but the one thing we know it isn’t is access to things like blood pressure medication from GPs. Prescribing data shows no drop over the lockdown periods. I wonder if it has more to do with lockdown preventing a lot of elective care (which has now either become an emergency or still elective with 2y wait) or a culture shift. It is now acceptable to take 5 days off if you have a cold where previously this was not the case. Further, COVID working fragged a lot of healthcare professionals who now have gone to less than full time contracts. That won’t have been workforce planned so will have led to a workforce shortfall. I know NHS funding is political but I really don’t think it’s a funding issue. I could be wrong - I have no evidence either way - but I think it’s something more. On the plus side, it looks like flu numbers are definitely on the wane now. " Funnily enough, this story just popped up this morning regarding prescribing for heart conditions. Half a million people apparently missed out on medication for heart conditions. And it's going to take time to catch up. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64330670 Now you presumably have the diametrically opposed story from somewhere which kind of questions how things are reported and why they get reported the way they do. | |||

"I do - see https://trusttheevidence.substack.com/p/is-everyone-dying-of-statin-starvation?r=1lcx51&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web from Prof Henegan of the University of Oxford. " That's an interesting read. Which seems to point the finger at ambulances and lack of access. Interestingly they both site bhf as sources. The last paragraph says it all really... Let's hope that 22k excess cardiac related deaths will eventually be enough for a proper investigation. "Given all its resources, the government could and should do better to get to the bottom of what is driving the excess in cardiovascular deaths. We’ll keep digging." | |||

"Bbc article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64209221 So there has been a huge increase in excess deaths, up 9% from 2019. It's not covid doing it. One of the things they point out is that there has been a huge increase in cardiac problems. We know the covid jabs cause heart and clotting issues. But no according to the BBC it's not the vaccine, it's covid itself. But say hypothetically that's true, that means that not only did the jab fail to stop you getting covid, it failed to stop you dying from covid either. What a clown show." How about the jab reduced the number catching covid, and the jab reduced the number dying from covid? But because of all the fuckwits that refused point blank to do anything else to help reduce the spread of an airborne disease - like maybe cleaning the air and using whatever type of filtering methods to reduce the amount of virus even getting into the air - the epidemic remained spreading. And because of all the fuckwits that spouted the crap about "herd immunity by catching covid" nearly every person in the country deliberately exposed themselves to it. And because the rate of mutation directly depends on the number catching the disease, this virus has been able to mutate faster than any other virus in history. And because it's been allowed to mutate so fast, the vaccines are near as dammit useless now even though they were quite good initially. And because the vaccines are now almost ineffective against the vastly mutated virus, and anybody that wears a mask is told that they are "bedwetting scaredy cat nutcases", nearly everyone in the country has had covid twice, three times, four times or more. And because covid fucks over every system in your body, even when there are little external symptoms, and especially your vascular system and heart, there is no fucking wonder whatsoever that there is now an epidemic of heart failure. Newsflash: It's going to get worse. Newsflash: The blame for it is square on the shoulders of every covid minimiser, mask refuser, lockdown breaker, vaccine conspiracy spreader, "it's my human right to go to the pub" wanker. And that's you, and you, and you, and you. But not you and you that tried hard, and not me, who tried hard. If you're in the first lot of you and you and you, then I'm sorry but if you get sick you brought it on yourselves. If you're with me in the second lot, then you tried hard, and I think you're bloody heroes for trying hard, and I just hope that we can ride it out long enough for the rest of the world to regain some fucking intelligence. | |||

" Plus ten years of austerity and decades of neglect. Lockdown just sped up the process is all. No, don't really agree with that. The NHS has never been better funded in real terms. " Really? I beg to differ. I've never had to pay more for a car than now. I've never paid more for a pound of Cheddar than now. The NHS has never faced higher costs. Advances in treatments that cost more. Highest population ever. Highest percentage of elderly (who obviously put more demand on the service). Grossly under maintained premises many of which would be condemned if in the private sector. A diminishing birth rate which means less income in tax and earnings to fund the elderly. So maybe funding is at a high....even if you ignore some of the double accounting that the government does. But "in real terms"....I think not. | |||

" Yeah well that's perhaps because anything put out by John Campbell is about as pertinent to the reality of covid 19 as would be anything written by John Campbell (1821–1885), scholar of Celtic folklore and language, inventor; or John Campbell (1862–1924), mathematician credited for the Campbell-Hausdorff formula; or John Campbell (1880–1957), American financier; or John Campbell (1653–1728), pioneer colonial American journalist; or John Campbell (1910–1971), American science fiction writer and magazine editor; or John Campbell (1855–1921), brigadier, Sutherland Highlanders, served in First World War; or John Campbell (1576–1642), Scottish nobleman and knight. In fact I'm pretty damn sure that anything written by any other John Campbell in the history of the Campbell family would be more intelligent and useful in the era of a world wide pandemic than the bollocks spouted by your John Campbell on YouTube. | |||

I wish the content had come from elsewhere but it didn't. I think the stats are interesting and some can be painted differently then he does. For example the increase in cardiac deaths may be linked to sluggish health provision and lack of treatment. But only a small part of it, surely ? But the overall aim of the vid is to ask why no one is investigating what is going on. We are told that is is "not the vaccine". But do we know that ? Are there lessons we can learn ? I am not saying I know, vut I know that the silence on the subject from press and government is very suspicious. " I think the government and the press have a vested interest in "moving on" from Covid, because their priority is the economy. Regardless of where you come down on vaccines. They want to put it behind them. In the abstract, you'd look at a sample (I'm vaguely familiar with statistics and I'm spitballing what it might look like): cardiac outcomes in an average year before 2019 (we don't know exactly when Covid began spreading, but we're pretty sure it wasn't before the beginning of 2019). You'd look at the cardiac events in the same area before vaccines were available. You'd look at cardiac events in the same area after vaccines were rolled out, perhaps both in a short time frame after vaccine administration and after a longer period. You might do something like, look at a community where vaccines were rolled out before there was widespread Covid spread (the state of Western Australia comes to mind). In addition, there'd need to be analysis of the mechanisms via which cardiac events might happen for Covid versus vaccination (and obviously differentiate between the different vaccines). I don't think it's true that no one is investigating. I just did two Google scholar searches for "cardiac effects Covid" and "cardiac effects Covid vaccination" respectively. Even limiting my results to just 2023, I got over 17k results for each. | |||

If out if 10 people, 4 died of COVID, 1 dies of a vaccine side effect and the rest survive he stresses that 10% died of the vaccine not that there's a possibility that the vaccine saved the lives of 50% of people. Total illusion swallowed by his followers. | |||

According to BHF, the number of people waiting for time-sensitive cardiac care is at a record high. The response time of ambulances for heart attacks and strokes breached 90 mins. The old target was 18, increasing to 30 for 23/24. And then we have the fact that covid itself seems to have long-term effects. Finally, there is no such thing as the vaccine. There were different vaccines with different delivery methods. The commanility was the underlying virus. | |||

The fact that it is presented by someone who many refuse to actually watch means that all the statistics and points mentioned (too many to give a synopsis but suffice to say there are way too many excess deaths and they don't seem to be as a direct result of the disease itself) are just swatted away without investigation. It's not about the individual, it's about the facts and how we interpret them. Unfortunately, there are many who would rather cut their nose off... " Excess deaths - horrid terminology as it sounds like deaths that should not have occurred. If it's an increase in mortality, then it should be stated as such. And JC... I'm neither a supporter or denier. | |||

" "Excess deaths" are actually called "Excess Mortality" in the official documentation. - "Excess mortality is calculated as the observed minus the expected number of deaths" | |||

"Neither of us had the experimental vaccine, and we are both perfectly healthy." I did have it, as did all my family. We’re all perfectly healthy as well. What’s your point? | |||

"Bbc article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64209221 So there has been a huge increase in excess deaths, up 9% from 2019. It's not covid doing it. One of the things they point out is that there has been a huge increase in cardiac problems. We know the covid jabs cause heart and clotting issues. But no according to the BBC it's not the vaccine, it's covid itself. But say hypothetically that's true, that means that not only did the jab fail to stop you getting covid, it failed to stop you dying from covid either. What a clown show."

"The article gives two areas of increase v 2019 Covid: 38k Healthcare issus: 21k (based on mid point of 400pw) That's almost 60k 2022 saw 650k of deaths. 9pc more than 2019. Suggesting 2019 was 596k and so 2022 had 54k extra deaths. So that predicted by COVID and healthcare crisis. And if I'm being sexist, which group of people do o think will say "fuck it" when faced with a queue at hospital. Men. Who's most at risk of premature death. Middle aged ppl. So who is more likely to have a spike from poor health care. Middle age men. " Don't use logic and facts...that's unfair | |||

"From my logic, covid was a nasty form of flu which normal winter jabs couldn't cope with. After all the lockdowns of varying sizes, everyone's immune systems were weakened as a result of not sharing smaller parts of diseases when being close to someone. That then leads the more vulnerable to still being high risk as commoner colds and flus will be higher risk to them. " There is logic to your post, however, CoV 2 is not a flu type virus. Also, it's not that people's immune system was weakened but by lacking exposure to common (mutating) viruses, but that the immune system wasn't "strengthened" by creating antigens and lymphocytic killer/memory cells upon exposure. | |||

Depends what you mean by "only answer" We could have locked the borders and had longer and stricter lockdowns until the virus couldnt spread and locked up anyone breaking curfew for a year. We could have let the elderly die and only treated under 50s when hospitals were overwhelmed... The vaccine allowed us to cope with the virus in terms of the NHS. It saved lives. Those who didnt get it still got the social benefits. | |||

"What are 'excess deaths'?" Excess deaths are basically the number of deaths actually recorded during a period, minus the number of deaths that occurred during a previous representative period. So the number of deaths that occurred more than would be normally expected. There's a bit more to it than that because there's a correction for the increase in population, and it's not always easy to judge what is a good "representative period". But basically if say you look how many people died during April for each of the last ten years, and it's pretty much a constant amount, then you get an April where a lot more people died, you can figure that there must be something special about the April where more people died. It doesn't tell you why they died, just that there were more deaths than in a normal April. In the year when covid started, pretty well all countries that keep good records of births and deaths noted a lot more deaths than usual during every month. The number of these "excess deaths" was greater, per thousand heads of population, in countries that were late in introducing masking mandates, lockdowns, movement controls etc. And were lower in countries that did enforce stricter control measures. The excess deaths reduced for a while when covid vaccination programmes started, then increased again when the virus mutated into new variants that the existing vaccines are less effective against. Hope that this helps understand. | |||

The latter is most definitely against the rules. | |||

" Yeah, it's safe to say I had zero confidence in the powers that be and the "science" they were supposedly following from the get go." To add some context, there's no evidence that any scientific findings or advice was followed to what say, one of their experts in virology for example, had to say about it. Many decisions were political and weren't strictly governed or decided by what logical approach would have been best. So when you say "science" like that, I assume you mean that in an ironic sense. | |||

I say "science" because that was the claim throughout by those in charge. The rest of my post pretty much sums up why I think that's was bullshit.

If the media lied or over exaggerated are you surprised? Regardless of who said what, the vaccine gave vulnerable people a better chance of coming out of infection as well as they were before. The vaccine gave the immune system the opportunity to create antibodies etc which would undoubtedly reduce the severity because it could fight the virus faster. Because it could fight the virus faster the victim would be contagious for a shorter period which means reduces the spread. Whatever you think, whilst not being the exact answer we wanted, the vaccine provided some significant benefits. | |||

"Bbc article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64209221 So there has been a huge increase in excess deaths, up 9% from 2019. It's not covid doing it. One of the things they point out is that there has been a huge increase in cardiac problems. We know the covid jabs cause heart and clotting issues. But no according to the BBC it's not the vaccine, it's covid itself. But say hypothetically that's true, that means that not only did the jab fail to stop you getting covid, it failed to stop you dying from covid either. What a clown show. There is not enough longitudinal data to state that what happened in 2022 was to do with COVID vaxes or any other variable. At this point we can only speculate " I am sure there will be a video on YT now, stating just that fact. | |||

"Bbc article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64209221" So what is the BBC reporting here. There were 650000 deaths in 2022 which is 9% more than 2019. Rough working out without a calculator puts that at about 597000 deaths in 2019. (Really that should be worked out and on the article because hubby is lazy). It is frustrating when state news which champions investigating things doesn't even bother to investigate more before it makes the aspersion that deaths are due to long wait times. They can't make that claim as they don't know what people are dieing from, or what groups, or where. Sounds like state bull shit propaganda to spread fear, disguise from real issues, and totally fail to investigate what could be causing the issue. | |||

No. The only uk media which is state run(except that's murky: does the state, ie the government, 'run them',or do the media run the government?lets just say they have an alignment in wjat they both want) As you put it is less likely to be the BBC, and is more likely to be the Sun, the mail, the express ,the daily telegraph, the Times,London evening standard. And probably even the mirror eventually. God knows what the Independent is these days apart from a mess. Only as near to dammit independent news outlets in these enlightened times are Channel 4 news, the Guardian, and, yes, the BBC. And possibly Al Jeezeera. Think of it like this: the ones I've mentioned suck the governments cock amd blast all opposition, the others don't do that, or not as much. If you accept that para then which do you think are more likely to be 'state sponsored'? Ps China and North Korea actually DO have state news by the way. | |||

I.e. it made them feel shit for a few days including high temperatures.
Whilst this is my anecdotal evidence, it fits in with the wider data."I thankfully don't know anyone who didn't have more than a miserable few days with covid. Myself included. The cough lasted a bit longer and was annoying but I was plagued with chest infections as a youngster(and even now occasionally) so it wasn't anything I hadn't dealt with. | |||

"Bbc article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64209221 So there has been a huge increase in excess deaths, up 9% from 2019. It's not covid doing it. One of the things they point out is that there has been a huge increase in cardiac problems. We know the covid jabs cause heart and clotting issues. But no according to the BBC it's not the vaccine, it's covid itself. But say hypothetically that's true, that means that not only did the jab fail to stop you getting covid, it failed to stop you dying from covid either. What a clown show." all bullshit in my humble opinion | |||

"To many people living on this planet now,mother nature will always have the last say" I think people who believe that shouldn't be hypocritical about it and do the world a favour. Nevermind, the world leaders are sorting out your little problem. | |||
