Heart deaths in Australia

well a warm welcome to today's talk friday the 16th of June now we've been looking in previous videos about firstly the fact that there are excess deaths and secondly that a lot of these excess deaths are cardiac related now I want to look at some data from Australia that confirms this just released in the past few days now this is from the Australian Society of actuaries of course dealing with life insurance and this is their report here a covid-19 mortality working group and they're looking at 2022 where there was over twenty thousand excess deaths in Australia 22 000. now this is 12 excess death so the excess deaths in Australia for 2022 were 12 higher than would be expected now this is partly because it's a pandemic year in Australia because they are their pandemic a bit late you might remember because of their lockdowns because it's an island they were able to contain the situation for longer but apart from that the excess deaths are still higher than would be expected and we'll be looking at the cause of it in a minute so the sex mortality is widely regarded as the best measure of the overall impact of the pandemic which is true um since it includes deaths both directly and indirectly and of course what we're interested in is um to what degree is covered causing excess cardiac deaths or is it other factors that are causing excess cardiac deaths this is what we need to tease apart which we need a proper investigation of now um of the twenty thousand two hundred excess debt in 2022 they're saying 51 were from covid-19 but of course we know a lot of these people had significant comorbidities and were mostly elderly but they're saying another 15 were covered related so what they're actually saying here is 51 of these excess deaths were from covid which we could argue about this is what this is what they're saying under 20 uh 2 900 15 were with covert rather than from covid now that still leaves seven thousand deaths 34 of the total excess deaths uh that had no mention of covid-19 on the death certificate and this is four percent of the excess deaths which remember were nine percent in total so consistent with other countries in fact these numbers are a little lower than we're seeing in quite a few other countries but remember it is skewed somewhat because of Australia's uh late uh relatively late pandemic compared to other countries such as the United States or the United Kingdom but it's still there and the actuaries we're saying this is extraordinarily high in itself so even four percent excess deaths would be extraordinarily high and statistically very significant most deaths were in 65 age group Plus but in all age groups there was at least five percent higher mortality than would be expected so in all age groups including the younger age groups mortality was five percent higher than would be expected now of course the numbers are smaller thankfully in the younger age groups but there is excess mortality in all age groups now they don't break down the age group specifically unfortunately that would be very interesting if they did that but they're saying it was higher in all age categories indicating that there's other factors than the pandemic going on here because we know that covered very rarely thankfully kills young people but five percent higher in all age groups now it's noticeable that there were excess debts in all age groups and that that the excess is generally significant this is not a statistical artifact this is statistically significant even after removing covid-19 deaths so excess deaths higher in females than males in Australia and they say the differences are worth investigating now this is the Society of actors saying the differences are worth investigating it would be nice if governments had the same way of thinking that these were to be investigated in their own terms as we've been calling for for a long long time but still awaiting unfortunately now they do say that the small numbers there again Australia is a relatively small population there is considerable natural variation which is true but it remains true that these are statistically significant whereas in all states Western Australia excess deaths were delayed due to late reporting and late reopening really uh because they they tried to close the border down for longer so the pandemic was even later in Western Australia than other parts of the Australia Australia now many more deaths from ischemic heart disease disease affecting the coronary arteries and we looked at heart disease recently looking at heart failure much higher number of deaths than expected from ischemic heart disease despite continued deaths from dementia continued increase in deaths from dementia so what we're actually seeing here is more people dying of disease of the coronary arteries so the blood flow is not getting through the heart something was causing blockages atheroma or inflammation in these coronary arteries blocking them off and of course coronary arterial disease is a factor in heart failure that we looked at but when we looked at the UK data recently actually it was not the UK data it was the English data we saw a lot more deaths from heart failure but we also saw more deaths from ischemic heart disease statistically more than we would expect in previous years so Australia is being completely consistent with that here's their graphic here that shows quite a significant increase it's always quite uh potent really when you see the increase now in graphical terms now they're saying that yellow is from covert but of course we could argue with that but that's what they're saying so we have to accept that data um and that's the blow up of the graphic there so we see that there are these four percent uh of the nine percent of um so that means five percent were covered related four percent were not covert related deaths so we're still seeing that uh deaths from respiratory disease have been significantly lower than expected now um this is consistent with what we were seeing in the uh United Kingdom as well that we would expect more death from respiratory disease because covert is primarily a respiratory infection but they're not seeing those in the UK they were lower than we would expect and in Australia the actuaries are saying death from respire to disease have been significantly lower than expected throughout the pandemic so there we see confirmatory data from Australia not from government sources but from the Society of actuaries confirming the increase in heart disease deaths and the overall numbers of deaths now the Society of action was in Australia are saying that this is not related to pharmaceutical interventions they are saying that but they're also saying they don't know what the causes are so I think we can conclude that they don't really know what these causes are they say they should be investigated we say they should be investigated and yet we hear this deafening silence still from many around the world and from governments in the United States Canada Australia New Zealand the United Kingdom Europe unfortunately still hearing very little so good to get that confirmation I think really from a completely different source and and sad that people are dying in excess and from similar conditions all around the world all essentially at the same time almost as if there's some common factors going on here some common etiological factors so let's hope we see some investigation soon we have got the covert inquiry going on in the UK at the moment it seems to be an incredibly long-winded bureaucratic legalistic Affair but we'll give it a chance in a couple of years it might come up with something we'll see I'm not holding my breath based on other inquiries conducted by the British government unfortunately but we'll leave that brief video there for now and thank you for watching
