4th Vital Statistics Data Drop for 2023, includes data from Jan to July, still incomplete. March - May Registered Deaths in 2023 stand 11,229 higher than the same period in 2022. Births are running
just above 2022 levels. No update on 2021 data (last effective 31 Mar '22) or 2022 (last effective 31 Jul '23). Ischemic Heart Disease, Neoplasms, and Cerebrovascular DIseases continue as leading COD
PSA did their 4th data drop for 2023 on 29th December 2023, containing likely substantially complete data for the 1st quarter of 2023, and preliminary data up to July 2023. For this data drop 95,786 births were added (including 2,195 late registrations for January and February 2023; families take longer / are later to register births than they do deaths). At present births are running just under 4% above 2022 levels for the first quarter.
Births are also presented against historical data since 2019. 2021 remains the outlier year, but this could change considerably if the 2021 data is honestly updated with what must be considerable pending late registrations.
For this data drop 39,585 deaths were added (including 64 each for January and February 2023, which I consider already substantially complete). 2023 registered deaths are running considerably above 2022 levels for March to May, with 11,229 extra deaths recorded in these 3 months still preliminary registrations compared to 2022.
2023 is also presented in typical format against monthly deaths from 2019 to 2022.
Excess Deaths Vs. Forecast Deaths
I have updated the presentation of registered deaths against MS Excel Forecast generated using 2015 - 2019 monthly data This historical data shows there are very clear monthly patterns to deaths. For example, January deaths are typically the annual high (perhaps people clung to life to celebrate Christmas with family), though with lower peaks in May and August. When typical death patterns are not followed, some external force may be in effect. The forecast predicts increased year on year deaths, based on past trending of increases, and month to month expected patterns are incorporated.
This forecast arrives at 297,344 excess deaths from Jan 2020 to May 2023. March 2023 deaths are 16.9% higher than forecast, and April 2023 deaths are 6.5% higher than forecast, both above the upper bounds of the forecast.
Cause of Death Data
Updated cause of death data was also released. Jan to July 2023 data cannot be compared with the Jan-July 2022 data because the Jan-July 2023 data is incomplete. The top 3 causes of deaths remain ischemic heart disease, neoplasms, and cerebrovascular diseases. Diabetes was listed as the 4th leading cause of death (intricately linked to the 1st and 3rd causes), and pneumonia was ranked as No. 5, making a comeback now that Covid-19 has been demoted to lower priority.
Respiratory illnesses continue to be well below historical levels.
Not shown, but in the linked data, 10,734 persons are reported as having died from respiratory tuberculosis in 2023, to date. 1,703 persons are reported to have died with Covid-19 identified, while another 553 were reported also to have died from Covid-19 without virus identified. 2,529 people died of malnutrition (starvation). The continued obsession with Covid-19 seems somewhat misplaced in the light of these other (properly preventable) causes of death.
January is Peak Death Month in Philippines
January is always a peak death month in the Philippines. The aftereffects of Christmas season indulgences, the loss of a festive event to hang on for, the added stress of the start of the year? Weather is typically drier and a little cooler (excetp for high elevations where the weather may be cold), but mostly pleasant.
In the coming days, weeks, months hold your loved ones near and dear! Reach out and stay in touch. Check on your neighbors / friends if you haven’t seen or heard from them for a while.
Take care of your health and encourage the same for your loved ones and friends. Eat moderately of unprocessed and whole foods. Take regular moderate exercise. Stay calm, pray or otherwise nurture your spiritual self, as we enter the new year!
Here's just another bizarre observation/prediction from a Proud Conspiracy Theorist;
Obviously, the DEADLY injection they pretend is a vaccine, has killed off a high percentage of the most vulnerable - the frail and elderly, but the true extent of the depravity demonstrated by Pfizer, Moderna etc, will be displayed exponentially over the next decade. This is because the "SATE and EFFECTIVE VAX Cure" is designed to kill women and babies during pregnancy.
The poison is then embedded forever, rendering women infertile forever!
And Pfizer, etc, enjoy IMMUNITY from all LIABILITY for injuries and DEATHS caused by their POISONS!
