ABS Data Shows Massacre of Australian Elderly; Increased Causes of Death Identified Include Covid-19, Dementia, Diabetes, Heart Disease and Cancer
85YO+ Australians had 22-68% increases in death above baseline, 75-84 had 10- 41% increase above baseline in the first 16 weeks of 2022. 3,419 of the 8,065 excess deaths were recorded as Covid-19.
ABS has released Australia’s preliminary all cause mortality data for the first 16 weeks of 2022.
Australia’s public health policy regarding covid-19 has clearly failed if population health as reflected by all-cause mortality is considered. Australia reports 8,065 excess deaths in the first 16 weeks of 2022, which represent an overall 17.2% excess deaths vs. historical averages.
These deaths are not all due to covid-19; they have reported 3,419 covid-19 deaths (42.4% of all excess deaths, 6.2% of total deaths) in 2022 as compared to 4 deaths in 2021 and 67 deaths in 2020.
As of end of July 2022, Australia has delivered nearly 225 vaccines per 100 population. More than 76% of Australians had already completed initial protocols starting 1 January 2022.
The situation becomes far more dire if all cause mortality is examined by age-group. While the youngest age group shows a relatively normal pattern of deaths with 40 fewer deaths than historical baseline, the 3 oldest age groups show massive excess deaths, with the 75 and older, and particularly the very old 85 and over being devastated! These are excess deaths: deaths that would not have normally been expected to occur, not the normal death rates in the population and age-groups!
The trending for the 75 and up seems to be following a continued high excess and again trending upwards, even though there was a drop from the extreme highs apparent in the first 6 weeks of the year.
The listed causes of death with notable increases above baseline include dementias (+21%), diabetes (+18.2%), cancer (+5.5%), and ischemic heart disease (+2.9%). Australians are doing very poorly, indeed!
Excess deaths in all groups except the 44 and younger. Unprecedented take down of our seniors! This is not an acceptable new normal! Australian government you are on notice!
The senior citizen, aged 65+, excess deaths in the first 16 weeks of 2020 represent 76,395 weeks of life lost. Translate this to pension saved! Fortnightly pension in Australia, including energy and other subsidies come up to A$987.60 for a single person, and 744.40 for each person in a couple. So, these excess deaths now translate to savings in Pensions for the Australian Government of somewhere in the upper range of A$28.4 to 37.7 Million Australian Dollars! That is before any medicare subsidies for health expenses, which could be considerable for the older population. Guess that pays for the payrises given by the Australian Government to themselves!
