One of the people commenting the article argued that Sweden started with a huge mortality deficit and this makes "the vaccine impact look non-existent, but in fact vaccines were still causing havoc."There is one problem with blaming the vaccines for this. Sweden isn’t showing any increased mortality like the other European nations.
I haven't tried to verify the information in that post, but I looked up what the normal mortality looks like in Sweden, and it seems that there is a huge variation. 2020 has been a year with a lot of deaths, but not something they haven't seen before. With many of the most vulnerable gone in 2020 you would expect mortality lower in 2021 (dry tinder effect). I suspect that the numbers for the "excess death" do not take this into account.
Below is the figures for the years 2010 to 2021. I can't find the data for the years before that right now, but I have seen them. There have been similar high figures in earlier years.
And this is the comment I am referring to:
TomJan said:Sweden still supports the vaccine caused deaths theory according to YOUR OWN graph Gato. Around week 15 or 16 Sweden was hitting its highest rate of vaccinations. In your graph above we see a massive drop in the mortality deficit. It is still blue, but the deficit shrinks considerably. It eventually inverts to excess mortality at week 35, but note that in the beginning out October Sweden paused the Moderna vaccine to all younger age groups. That would be week 37 about. That would help keep the orange excess mortality region small and likely scared other age groups/vulnerable away from the vaccine due to the announcement, which likely had the effect of keeping the excess mortality in weeks 35 to 45 relatively under control. The vaccine hypothesis is still highly valid as an excess mortality explanation.
The overall excess mortality for Sweden is an outlier, but it's clear the vaccines are still causing a lot of deaths. Sweden just happened to start 2021 with a big mortality deficit to make the vaccine impact look non-existent, but in fact vaccines were still causing havoc.
One cannot abandon a theory on one counterexample so easily when the theory fits several other countries separated by geographical space and timing in their vaccination campaigns.
After all, we have considerable data over many countries showing that increases in vaccinations lead to considerable increases in covid cases. This possible weakening of the immune system is likely leaking into the death bin for some unfortunate folks.
