Data for the Excess mortalitity study (above).
This dataset contains estimates of excess mortality from the COVID-19 pandemic for global populations during the period of January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2021. Excess mortality is defined as the net difference between the number of deaths during the pandemic (measured by observed or estimated all-cause mortality) and the number of deaths that would be expected based on past trends in all-cause mortality. The dataset also includes reported COVID-19 deaths (or deaths attributable to the virus), the reported COVID-19 mortality rate and the ratio between excess mortality rate and reported COVID-19 mortality rate rates for the same time period. The ratio of excess mortality rate to reported COVID-19 mortality is a measurement of undercounting of the true mortality impact of the pandemic. Methods and limitations for the model for estimating excess mortality can be found in detail in the publication.

This 38 minute video highlights the 5-hour discussion.

Suggestions for inclusion in this list are welcome!

The suppression of information and the propogation of mis-information about this disease seems prevalent, including by corporate media, big-tech, and government agencies in various countries. Obvious examples include the efficacy of treatments using anti-virals and immune-system boosters.
