Kerala government data implicates the Covid vaccines for excess deaths

By Bhaskaran Raman* 

On 03 Dec 2024, Mr Unnikrishnan of the Indian Express had written an article titled: “Kerala govt data busts vaccine death myth; no rise in mortality post-Covid”. It claims “no significant change in the death rate in the 35-44 age group between 2019 and 2023”. However, the claim is obviously wrong, even to a casual observer, as per the same data which the article presents, as explained below.
The article shows the following table, titled as “Mortality Rate (Age Group 35-44)”:
The author suggests that the numbers in the last column are the mortality rates. This is obviously wrong – the mortality rate is defined as the number of people dying per year, expressed as a percentage or per 1000 population. Now, the mortality rate in the overall population in India, as per the 2011 census is 7.1 per 1000, or 0.71%. This is for the overall population, and the mortality rate in the 35-44 age-group is likely to be over ten-fold lower, i.e. under 0.07% or lower.
Leaving aside the details of the numbers, the claim of around 3.3% death rate in the 35-44 age-group does not pass the common sense test. If the claim were true, we would be seeing 1 in 30 young people among us die every year, which is obvious not the case. The article is thus claiming an absurdity.
So if the numbers in the last column are not the mortality rate, then what are they? One can deduce this from other numbers. The same Indian Express reported that Kerala had a total of 3,39,648 deaths in 2021. Now, (10,971/3,39,648) = 3.23%. So the numbers in the last column are not the mortality rates but the percentage of 35-44y among those who died!
Now let us look at what the numbers in the table actually tell.
Covid did NOT affect those in the 35-44y age-group. As is clear, from 2019 to 2020, the number of deaths in this age-group did not increase – there is in fact a slight decrease. This also matches with the layperson observation that Covid did not affect the young.
Increase in mortality is time-correlated with the rollout of the so-called Covid “vaccines”. As is also clear from the table, from 2020 to 2021 there is a substantial increase, of about 33% (8,252 to 10,971) in the death count in this age-group. The products are to be termed as “so-called vaccines” as none of the Covid injections prevented anything – they did not prevent Covid infection, they did not prevent Covid hospitalization, they did not even prevent Covid deaths. All of this is of course common knowledge. What may not be common knowledge is that none of the products termed Covid “vaccines” have a completed phase-3 trial data to show scientifically rigorous risk-benefit analysis.
Increase in mortality continues well past 2021. As the table clearly shows, the increase which started in 2021 has persisted into 2023. This also matches with the layperson observation of continuing “sudden” deaths of youth.
Interestingly and concerningly, all of the above three trends match data from a wide variety of other countries – the UK, USA, Singapore, Australia, etc. – throughout the world, the age-group 35-44y were not affected by the SARS-Cov-2 (Covid) virus, but this age-group has seen enormous excess deaths starting the year of the rollout of the so-called “vaccines”. For instance, see a similar graph plotted for the UK below.
Way forward: In summary, the actual data presented in Mr Unnikrishnan’s article is at loggerheads with the text of the same article. The data actually implicates rather than exonerate the Covid vaccines for the excess deaths. Scientific literature is abound with peer-reviewed publications on the various serious adverse effects of the Covid “vaccines” (see references in this talk). Given the above highly concerning data from Kerala, matching in pattern with various other data from around the world, there must be a serious investigation into how these products were rolled out without adequate testing, and that too on a population never at risk from the virus in the first place.

People just accepted the fate as is and the media now-a-days is just black or white wrt political parties and neither television channels nor channels on even social media like YouTube, Instagram could argue about it as they are under complete scrutiny of government (or they might not be interested) and the voice about this issue gets unnoticed

Balod tech fest tests students’ interest in innovative ideas in the fields of science, engineering, start-ups

By A Representative  A techno fest scheduled on December 20 and 21 in Balod district of Chhattisgarh will test the innovative ideas of school students in the fields of science, engineering and start-ups.  For this two-day fest organised at Maheswari Bhawan of the district, a total of 824 models made by students were initially registered. Out of those, a selection committee chose 200 models from several schools spread over five blocks of Balod. These will be on display on these two days from 10am to 4.30pm. Out of many ideas, one of the most interesting models is a smart glove which can be used by children with impairments and disabilities. For those who cannot speak at all or have speech difficulty, they can ask for help from caregivers by pressing their fingers on the glove after wearing it. This will attract attention.

34 Dalit families in IIT Kanpur without toilets in Open Defecation Free India

By Sandeep Pandey   When Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur was set up in 1959, two villages were uprooted. The farmers were given meagre compensation for the standing crop. No compensation was given for the land to build this institute of national importance. Each family was promised a job but what was not told to them was that one would require specialised skills to get a job at IIT. Some members of these families were, of course, absorbed for menial work. Some washerfolk families were also invited from outside to live on campus to take care of the laundry needs of students, staff and faculty members. One of these men was cajoled by IIT authorities then to forego a regular employment at IIT and instead take up clothes washing work.
