New Zealand's Excess Deaths (A Case Study)
Following on from Australia's case study... here is New Zealand study, for comparison.
After completing “Australia’s Excess Deaths” article, I got curious and wondered if New Zealand had similar patterns. Specifically:
The large excess deaths in 2017, through which the media never bat an eye-lid (or tried to exacerbate mass-hysteria)
Excess deaths at the start of the pandemic (in early 2020)
Out of season spike in early 2022
Plots
All years from 2011 to 2022:
From 2011 to 2018 the shape of the plots follow a very well defined sinusoid pattern:
We will establish a baseline to include the following years, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016. We removed 2011 and 2013 for clarity. In most years the pattern is very well defined:
In 2017, New Zealand experienced a bad “flu season”, which is similar to Australia:
2018:
2019:
As Australia, New Zealand experienced excess deaths in the first half of 2019.
2020:
As Australia, New Zealand experienced excess deaths at the beginning of the pandemic, and towards the end of 2020.
Finally, 2021 and 2022 together:
As Australia, New Zealand had excess deaths throughout 2021.
Unlike Australia, New Zealand did not have a large spike at the beginning of 2022. This is curious and requires further investigations.
For comparison here is the Australian plot for 2021, and 2022:
Plots by Age Groups:
The New Zealand data contains information by age groups, shown below.
“Under 30”:
“30 to 59”:
“60 to 79”:
“80 and over”:
Observations:
Since 2011 the all cause mortality data follows a very predictable sinusoid cycle that has more deaths during the winter months. (The “flu season”)
This pattern started to change at the beginning of 2019. More deaths were recorded in the beginning of the year than was usual
New Zealand like Australia experienced an abnormal excess deaths in the winter of 2017, which at the time was noted, but did not results in mass-hysteria
Like Australia, New Zealand also had more deaths at the beginning of 2020 than was usual
However, unlike Australia, New Zealand did not have a “out of season” spike at the start of 2022
Their number of deaths in 2022 is well above the norm and has dramatically ramped up since the beginning of March 2022
There are no apparent excess deaths in the “under 30” and “30 to 59” age groups
We sincerely hope it remains this way. Time will tell
Hypothesis: Other countries like the US, UK and Germany have shown excess deaths in the working class age groups. Could it be that the vaccines loose their potency due to long travel (transport) times?
The data does not tell us anything about vaccine injuries
All the excess deaths are in the “60 and over” age groups. The exact same age group that was the most at risk of the virus, is also the most at risk of dying, after being fully “vaccinated”
The vaccines were supposedly developed to protect this age group and yet they are the ones most at risk
The vaccines are NOT protecting the elderly
In fact, it looks like they are making matters worse
What a monumental disaster
The same questions should be asked for this article that were asked at the end of the Australian case study article.
