A recent scientific paper compared excess death rates among countries, using the pre-pandemic period 2015-2019 as a baseline.
A few years ago I integrated the same dataset they used (STMF from HMD) and built my own excess death analysis. I was reassured to see quite similar results.

For 25–29 yo, a compositional regime shift in disease-related mortality appears to be taking place.
- two decades of gradual improvement ended around 2019: post-2019 mortality levels are higher
- the shift is broad-based
- multiple causes of death are now much above their historical baseline

A new study finds
if you want to protect yourself
from Alzheimer’s
you should practice
cognitive speed training,
and considering
that a recent study found
“Long Covid linked
to Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms”
if you want to protect yourself
you should also practice
wearing a mask.

The overwhelming majority of pediatric COVID deaths are in unvaccinated children, yes. In America, liberal minimizers like Emily Oster & Ashish Jha insisted COVID was harmless for kids. Would you like to guess what “side” I’m on? www.panaccindex.info/p/answered-i...

"Enhanced protection with masks, vaccines, and portable air purifiers, especially in high-risk areas, may mitigate nosocomial transmission, including among staff. Air sampling can provide an early warning of an outbreak and help identify areas that need enhanced infection control."
