2022 deaths in Canada 4.5 standard deviations above mean?

Post #613

As reported here, excess death in the young in Canada is alarming and mostly undefined. This is a travesty of public health operations, because public health is supposed to be able to explain big increases in death.

Here are 8 years of death rates per 100,000 for those of age 35 to 39 in Canada:

The 2022 death rate was still 35% above normal and a whopping 4.5 standard deviations above the mean of 2015-2019 rates.

Not being able to explain death rates which were still 35% above normal in 2022 — when the circulating COVID variant (Omicron) was safer than flu — is going to go down in history as one of the greatest medical blunders ever.
