Deaf, dumb and blind? ‘Brits are dying in their tens of thousands – and we don’t really have any idea why’

Tens of thousands more Brits were dying than expected and experts aren’t quite sure why that is. From May to December last year, there were 32,441 excess deaths in England and Wales, excluding deaths from Covid. Excess deaths are defined as the number of people who died above the five-year average – worked out excluding 2020 due to how Covid spiked death figures that year. This means that over 32,000 Brits would’ve been expected to be alive, but died according to Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures across this period. Comment: How about this for a reason? 30,305 people died within 21 days of having a Covid-19 vaccine in England during first 6 months of 2021, ONS data says These shocking figures raised a number of important questions about what is happening to the country’s populations, how it’s changing, and why so many more people are dying.
