This post is a follow-up to an earlier report on Singapore. Singapore never had a monthly excess death rate beyond 20% until they reached 1.5 doses per person of COVID shots:
After reaching two doses per person (20 doses per each 10 persons), Singapore had almost 50% excess monthly death — and after passing 2.5 doses per person, excess death remained at 25% or more for each month for an entire year.
Very interesting indeed. The part after the injections makes sense to me.
I can’t figure the 10-15% monthly rates for much of 2020; especially given Singapore’s really low fatal rate for COVID-19 in the previous post. There were probably fewer traffic accidents in 2020, but perhaps there were more substance abuse and suicide deaths, perhaps some lack of preventive medical care. Age breakdowns for the excess deaths would help me to understand what was happening a little bit better.
Worldwide the story is that excess death in 2020 was primarily among people over 65, and 2021-2023 it is in mostly in people under 65, with some pull-through effects occasionally creating troughs among people over 65.
Don't know much aboutt Singapore, size, population but I've learned to look at graphs axis etc. which without checking first, make 50% excess sound worse, but obviously still of concern to those involved. We all know it's the elephant.
