This is a follow-up on this prior Substack. I extended the analysis to include all nations with over 25 million population in 2020 — while excluding Afghanistan, China, Russia, and Ukraine as potential confounders:
The unit for the vertical axis is average daily excess death per million (DEDpM), while for the horizontal axis it is number of jabs per 100 people.
The population sample size is 5.2 billion people, from 49 of the largest nations.
The correlation coefficient, r, is the square root of r-squared (square root of 0.208), and was found to be highly signficant in the current analysis (p-value < 0.002) — indicating that high COVID jab rates are significantly associated with high excess death rates.
