A Tale of Six Winters

Post #500

In this prior substack essay, the weekly deaths of those under age 45 in the Euro Area rose once the COVID jabs became available — even though under COVID alone those weekly deaths were never excessive compared to the 2017/18 flu season.

Winter months are conventionally described as running from December of one year up to March of the next year, and the span of epidemiological weeks which always captures all of those 4 Winter months is from Week 48 of the prior year to Week 14 of then next year.

Using those weeks guarantees that you capture “Winter” — and you obtain 19 weeks of death data for each cycle. Here is the side-by-side comparison of the last 6 cycles:

Notice how, for those under age 45, COVID wasn’t any worse than common flu, but how the addition of COVID jabs made things much worse than they ever had been before.

Here are the 19-week averages of the weekly deaths for each Winter:

Severe flu: ……………….. 1998 deaths per week
Mild flu (both years): 1954 deaths per week
COVID: ……………….….. 1933 deaths per week
COVID jab (Yr 1): ….. 2007 deaths per week
COVID jab (Yr 2): ….. 2004 deaths per week

Average weekly Winter deaths dropped under COVID — from where it had been under mild flu. But after the COVID shots came out, Winters became much more deadly.
