Heart deaths

a warm welcome to this talk it's Wednesday the 27th of December and I hope you had a celebratory restful Christmas now I'm going to start off with some good news today then I've got two pieces of pretty poor news I'm afraid actually uh one is about um the medicines and Healthcare products regulatory Authority apparently sending some might say inappropriate Communications with the press and the other is the really high uh death rate in adults younger adults and middle-aged adults in the United Kingdom that is persisting and there's a real issue here that's simply not being adequately discussed but let's start off with the good news uh this is uh Mr uh Andrew brid's site so he been given a motion to discuss in Parliament um so this is on the 16th of January relating to excess uh deaths so please write to your MP and ask them to attend the Westminster Hall debate now we really could do with some MPS turning up this time and we don't want any MPS being um discouraged from attending so I'll put the link if you're in the UK you can write to your MP say oi we are paying you guys pitch up listen to the debate take part in the debate excess deaths are going on and we need to find out why so that is the good news that is the link there for checking out with your MP I'll paste that now a threatening phone call this is from The Daily Telegraph and this really is quite concerning I was actually a bit taken back 8th of November 2023 so in March 20221 the telegraph was one of the first newspapers to imply a causal link between the jab in this case the astroica and blood clots after Norwegian scientists suggested a plausible mechanism good that is what the media should be doing invest investigative journalism on the day we published the story we received a threatening phone call now this is not me this is directly from the newspaper received a threatening phone call from a senior official at the MH warning that the telegraph would be banned from future briefings and press notices if we did not soften the news now that is direct from the newspaper now you might have thought that the medicines and Healthcare products regulatory agency was there to oh I don't know you know regulate health care products and medicines but apparently they're also uh due to keep the press in line now as well at least on this occasion so this is their website here official government body medicine and Healthcare products regulatory agency um does it need to change its name uh and and press Monitoring Service uh make sure that only the official narrative is is dispensed um this is why I think this is really quite a bad news story that they've got involved in this I was a bit taken when I read that to be quite honest phone call right part of the UK government now there is a article in the uh British medical journal from the FDA to the MH so Food and Drug Administration in the states to the medicin and Healthcare products regulatory agency in the UK are drug Regulators For Hire um are drug Regulators for higher um let me know what you think in the comments I'm not going to try and tell you what to think but I will give you some information now this is from features bmj investigation this was published in June 2022 now that article in the British medical journal says this industry money saturates the globe's leading Regulators so this is industry like pharmaceutical industry money saturates the globe's leading Regulators the bmj found that the majority of regulators bu budget now particularly the portion focused on drugs is derived from industry fees now this is the figure from the UK other agencies are given but in the UK for the medicines and health care products regulatory agency 86% 86% so I guess that means 14% is not industry funded so 86% is industry funded that's an eight with a six after it and a percent 86% is industry funded budget total budget being 159 million um and this is the agency that wrote to the telegraph to tell it to in the words of telegraph what was it soften soften the news sof in the news now Telegraph article goes on another well-known Cambridge academic got in touch to complain about our disgraceful fear-mongering headline on the story claiming that it would discourage vaccine up take and cost lives we politely pointed out this is the telegraph speaking we politely pointed out that hiding the facts from people was not helpful and could also cost lives hiding the facts from people hiding facts from people is not helpful and could cost lives what is there to disagree with here you the public is not as stupid as some people think it is in February this year um Tik Tok removed an audio clip this is still from The Daily Telegraph Tik Tok removed an audio clip in which I discuss this is the writer of the telegraph article whether the benefits of vaccination was worth the risks for young people claiming it had breached Community guidelines so Tik Tok didn't seem to be very happy after we showed that the government's own website acknowledged the link the clip was reinstated it's good that there was actually some dialogue here because very often with um uh media Outlets um affective dialogue is really not possible um anyway so that was good that that happened um all of this shows a troubling paternalism still from The Daily Telegraph in government Academia and some media Outlets some media Outlets you can say what you think those media Outlets might be um some media Outlets who believe that the public is not capable of weighing up the pros and cons of medical interventions and so must be shielded from the truth again direct quotes from the uh from The Daily Telegraph there so really quite concerning that uh a products regulatory agency is also seeking to control the narrative um I was I was really quite taken a when I read that anyway that's the facts make what you want of it that is the article there that I quoted from about the saturation with industry money uh from f D MH are drug Rel Regulators For Hire from the British medical journal now I want to go on and give you some other really quite disconcerting news now now this is from this journal article here exess mortality in England postco 19 pandemic implications for a sec for secondary prevention and as you'll see this is published in the lanit regional health Europe now of course the Lancet is a name that commands respect or it did but when a lot lot of people see it's in the lanet that's kind of a bit of a slam dunk really um and a few years ago that's what I believed is it still the case not for me to tell you what to think I'll just give you some information so here's the article here access mortality in England postco 19 pandemic lanet Regional Health Europe that is the link check it out for yourself this is all there now I did check on the lanset uh site for this paper uh for the uh Lancet Regional Health Europe and I was a little bit concerned because I did find this um £4,000 fee is the article publishing charge for Open Access so if you want to publish in this journal and you want it to be open access which is good it means everyone can access it then that's fine just stomp up £4,000 so people that want their work to be read widely Open Access so anyone can get it £4,000 and the journal will facilitate that now this is not uncommon sadly at the moment that there is this fee for open open uh Open Access publishing pity but my question is if you pay £4,000 you're probably going to get more people reading your article that's uh quite a lot of money really unless you're funded externally or by an institution anyway I'll leave that with you that just that's just by The Bu now this is from the article um many countries including the UK have continued to experience an apparent excess uh excess of deaths um long after the Peaks associated with the covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 right so yes we are experiencing excess Death Around the World As We have tried to raise the alarm several times many times numbers of excess deaths estimated in this period are considerable we agree completely um UK office for National statistics on has calculated that there were 7.2% or 44255 more deaths registered in the UK in 2020 22 so that's on data fair enough now there are legitimate differences in the way that data is collected of course we did look uh last week at the oecd data for the UK which shows that for the same period it's actually 52,000 so about another 8,000 higher 9.26% higher um not saying there's anything strange there that's ons numbers we have been alerted by people like Professor Norman Fenton into deficits or problems with the ons data but it is in the same range it's a concerning number whatever now this article goes on um the this this persisted into 2023 with 8 88.6% or 28,000 more deaths registered in the first six months of the year so 28,000 24 people more dying than we would expect first six months of the year as per this article uh base on based primarily on on uh data but so so that's fine the these small differences aren't really surprising in the way that data is collected and we have this difficulty of course comparing country with country there are there are differences anyway oec data for that period Well the oec data for the first 44 weeks of 2023 was actually 49,000 deaths uh 389 deaths 99.44% so in the first 44 weeks of um according to the oecd first 44 week weeks of 2023 99.44% excess deaths compared to 9.26% excess deaths in 2022 so we see that in 2022 and 2023 we've got in the order of 9% excess deaths for the data that we have now let's hope this plummets for the last part of 2023 but I'm afraid I'm not hopeful that's going to be the case anyway carrying on reading from this article from the Lancet the causes of multiple excess deaths are likely to be multiple and could include Direct effects of covid-19 infection yes um but we know that that's not very many at all now um the majority of these deaths are not covid related we now know that certainly in the current time period now acute pressure on the NHS Services resulted in poor outcomes from episodes of acute illness acute pressures on the NHS being blamed here wait for it and disruption to chronic disease detection and management so chronic disease detection and management being blamed further analysis by by cause and age and sex group may help quantify the relative contributions of these causes and um no other causes that I could see were given there's the paragraph there now the question in my mind is could there be any other causes operating here other other than acute pressures on the NHS and chronic uh disease detection and management is that it is there any other possibilities has anything else changed prior to the data when the oec data was collected for example 15 2015 to 2019 is anything else changed anything else that we could think of that's changed well yeah acute pressures on the NHS detection and management of of disease but but this is repeated in multiple countries around the world this is an international phenomena as we looked at in in the last video and I was a bit surprised that they didn't come up with any other possibilities anyway we'll go on office for health improvements and disparities now this is data from the 3rd of June 2022 to the 30th of June 2023 so that's what about 13 month third period so 13 months of data here now um when we have looked at this before this is largely from the office for health improvements and disparities but it is as reported it is as reported in this uh in this journal article read it for yourself um now excess deaths for all causes were relatively greatest for 50 to 64 year olds uh 50 15% higher than expected so 50 to 64 old now this is not really the age group the average age of death from Co of course is is way higher than that this is not a CO related age group really that's dying and yet they are dying 15% higher than expected 11% for 25 to 49 year olds now these are relatively young adults 11% higher and also um as far as I could gather from the way the article was written 11% higher for younger than 25 so what we see is young adults aged what um well younger than 25 18 to 25 25 to 49 dying 11% more than we would expect slightly older adults 50 to 64 dying 15% higher than we would expect and of course these young adults are not dying primarily of covid not at all about % higher for over 65s right now several causes in the 13-month period cardiovascular disease up by 12% heart failure up by 20% es schic heart disease not enough blood supply to The myocardium up by 15% liver disease up by 19% acute respiratory infections up by 14% diabetes up by 133% now I believe that the what is it the the office for uh Health improvements and disparities I don't know in how they collect their data but I've no reason to to doubt that this is is anything but completely accurate so if we take for example es schic heart disease primarily caused by disease of the coronary arteries they're like a crown coronary around about the heart supplying The myocardium the pumping muscle of the heart with blood and they must have a patent Lumen if they get clogged up if they become inflamed they can get clogged up with atheroma atherosclerosis the disease process of atherosclerosis that can lead to reduced blood supply es schea that can lead to thrombus formation uh an acute coronary syndrome myocardial infarction fair enough 15% more of that but we have to what we have to look at is the proximal and the distal cause of disease this is what's not being done so any disease there a proximal cause or any death there a proximal cause so yes this person died of es schic heart disease that is the immediate cause of death but what led to the es schic heart disease what are the distal causes is is the question that really needs to be focused on again heart failure up by 20% yes heart failure is when The myocardium is not Contracting sufficiently to generate sufficient cardiac out put to meet the metabolic demands of the body often accompanied by Venus congestion and edema we know what heart failure is so that's the immediate cause of death but what caused the heart failure what caused the heart failure have we got a national curiosity deficit disorder we should be asking these questions I'm afraid it gets worse for the slightly older age group for middle-aged adults 50 to 64 cardiovascular disease 33% higher than expected es schic heart disease 44% higher than expected but what the heck is causing the esic heart disease what is the distor causes cerebrovascular disease up by 40% heart failure up by 39% acute respiratory infection 43% High diabetes 33% 35% high so this these older adults are dying at really well all all adults are dying at a much higher rate adults age 50 to 64 dying particularly a higher rate my question is we need to look at the proximal causes yes this is the cause of death the distal causes what led up in the case of the coronary archers that we looked at for example what led to the inflammation what led to the potentially accelerated rate of the development of atherosclerosis where's the pathology on this now okay this article can't list the whole thing but um that's the question I would like to to have addressed uh the pattern is now one of persistent excess deaths which are most prominent in relative terms in middle-aged and younger adults um this is an unfolding tragedy in my view young fit adults are dying at accelerated rates proximal causes identified distal causes not identified and I'm not I'm not going at this particular article I mean I'm talking generally uh you really don't read much about what is causing the immediate cause of of death the is now one of uh persisting excess deaths which are most prominent yeah R adults right timely and granular analysis are needed to describe such Trends so as to inform uh prevention and disease management efforts so timely okay yeah we need to do a longtitudinal sort of study on this needs to be done now granular I guess I guess what they mean there is looking at the nitty-gritty of it looking at things like uh age sex smoking status what medication someone's had over the past few years any variable you can think of I don't know whether they've had particular injections or not all these things should be analyzed so they're right granular analysis and uh the article does conclude I'll just show you it here the article concludes with uh dis uh dis uh Declaration of interest uh now remember the causes were put down as uh acute and chronic dis disease um Lely due to NHS problems but this is this is I'm not going to bother in names but this is direct from the article this is a lead auth I think lead author and corresponding author okay does various things um oh and reports personal fees from noo Nordisk big Danish I think pharmaceutical company and uh fiser doesn't say how much money comes from there to the author but uh that interest is declared I've given you the information as accurately as I can make of it what you will how how long are these excess deaths going to go on for 2022 2023 three still 9% or more in the UK and around the world if you're watching this video you're as frustrated as I am so I'll leave it there thank you for watching
