Many global collectives of medical and scientific professionals, and journalists and analysts, have been pointing out that the impact of lockdowns has been far worse than the impact of COVID. Doctors, scientists and independent media sites, including UK Column and in the US, The Highwire, have been analysing the mortality figures and showing that in cases where this exists, excess mortality has largely been caused by lockdown and not the virus. One issue for example is that the number of heart attack and stroke patients who usually go to the emergency room (ER) for treatment has plummeted i.e. people who need immediate life-saving treatment are not coming forward so they are at risk of, and have been, dying unnecessarily.

Global collectives of scientific and medical professionals speak out
The previous post looked at how the data coming in is showing that in general, the all-cause mortality for 2020, particularly for the UK, since these statistics are available sooner than say South Africa.has not been indicative of a pandemic.
A group of over 1,500 global health professionals, “(including professors of medicine, intensive care physicians and infectious disease specialists) from different countries of Europe, Africa, America, Asia and Oceania” – United Health Care Professionals – sent a press release to the South African government on 4 February 2021, citing their August 26, 2020 message to the world, which they are calling on more health professionals to endorse.
They cite two prior examples of governments’ mishandling of situations involving alleged viral outbreaks and the use of vaccines. The first was the rollout of Sanofi’s Dengvaxia (dengue vaccine) in The Philippines, where, despite warnings from experts regarding the trial, ended with 500 children dying.

Following on from a discussion regarding how using the case fatality rate rather than infection fatality rate has artificially pushed up mortality figures and the fear and panic factor, this post goes into depth on all-cause mortality for 2020, particularly for the UK, since these statistics are available sooner than say South Africa.

Models grossly exaggerated, virus waning before lockdowns imposed
This post follows on from the overview of the basis of calling COVID-19 a a pandemic. Soon after lockdowns were imposed, based on the Imperial College (IPC) model, as discussed in previous posts, another team of scientists put forward a very different model that suggested the infection rate had already started to fall before lockdowns were initiated, making the catastrophic impact of shutting down economies completely unnecessary. This has been proven to be correct, with the ghastly mortality rates predicted by the IPC being orders of magnitude lower, and many analysts putting forward critiques reveal the flaws of model that show how flawed it is.

This follows on from the Introduction.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is defined as an infectious disease caused by an allegedly newly discovered coronavirus, identified as, “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2” (SARS-CoV-2). The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on 22 March 2020, based on the modelled projections by a team of nearly four dozen researchers – led by Neil Ferguson at Imperial College in London, UK, – the “Imperial College COVID-19 Response Team” (IPC), together with the WHO Collaborating Center for Infectious Disease Modeling as co-authors.

Introduction
Since lockdowns were imposed in March 2020, many high-ranking doctors, scientists, epidemiologists, emeritus professors etc. argue that the epidemiological representation is not indicative of a global viral pandemic. This is based on:
- Analysing the models that sent the world into lockdown, redoing these models and generating alternative models
- Assessing the all cause mortality rate for 2020, which is available for some countries
- Analysing the alleged deaths from COVID with many causes of deaths showing a significant drop, from influenza through to heart disease and strokes, which indicates that deaths from other causes are being subsumed under the label COVID.
