New Zealand Population Change

Post #595

At least one so-called X-pert has come out with analysis saying that death is down in New Zealand, so that we can ‘hurry-up-and-forget-about’ the New Zealand whistleblower (Barry Young) account of extra deaths after COVID shots.

But you can hide excess deaths under a wave of net immigration. In New Zealand recently, net migration accounts for almost all of the change in population there:

Hidden in the numbers will be a changing count of deaths of those who were New Zealanders by birth, diluted by a changing count of net immigrants. In other words, it is simultaneously possible for a population death rate to go down while people are dying faster.
