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

Aurangzeb’s last will recorded by his Maulvi: Allah shouldn't make anyone emperor

By Mohan Guruswamy Aurangzeb’s grave is a simple slab open to the sky lying along the roadside at Khuldabad near Aurangabad. I once stopped by to marvel at the tomb of an Emperor of India whose empire was as large as Ashoka the Great's. It was only post 1857 when Victoria's domain exceeded this. The epitaph reads: "Az tila o nuqreh gar saazand gumbad aghniyaa! Bar mazaar e ghareebaan gumbad e gardun bas ast." (The rich may well construct domes of gold and silver on their graves. For the poor folks like me, the sky is enough to shelter my grave) The modest tomb of Aurangzeb is perhaps the least recognised legacies of the Mughal Emperor who ruled the land for fifty eventful years. He was not a builder having expended his long tenure in war and conquest. Towards the end of his reign and life, he realised the futility of it all. He wrote: "Allah should not make anyone an emperor. The most unfortunate person is he who becomes one." Aurangzeb’s last will was re...

Beyond his riding skill, Karl Umrigar was admired for his radiance, sportsmanship, and affability

By Harsh Thakor* Karl Umrigar's name remains etched in the annals of Indian horse racing, a testament to a talent tragically cut short. An accident on the racetrack at the tender age of nineteen robbed India of a rider on the cusp of greatness. Had he survived, there's little doubt he would have ascended to international stature, possibly becoming the greatest Indian jockey ever. Even 46 years after his death, his name shines brightly, reminiscent of an inextinguishable star. His cousin, Pesi Shroff, himself blossomed into one of the most celebrated jockeys in Indian horse racing.

How the slogan Jai Bhim gained momentum as movement of popularity and revolution

By Dr Kapilendra Das* India is an incomprehensible plural country loaded with diversities of religions, castes, cultures, languages, dialects, tribes, societies, costumes, etc. The Indians have good manners/etiquette (decent social conduct, gesture, courtesy, politeness) that build healthy relationships and take them ahead to life. In many parts of India, in many situations, and on formal occasions, it is common for people of India to express and exchange respect, greetings, and salutation for which we people usually use words and phrases like- Namaskar, Namaste, Pranam, Ram Ram, Jai Ram ji, Jai Sriram, Good morning, shubha sakal, Radhe Radhe, Jai Bajarangabali, Jai Gopal, Jai Jai, Supravat, Good night, Shuvaratri, Jai Bhole, Salaam walekam, Walekam salaam, Radhaswami, Namo Buddhaya, Jai Bhim, Hello, and so on. A soft attitude always creates strong relationships. A relationship should not depend only on spoken words. They should rely on understanding the unspoken feeling too. So w...

State Human Rights Commission directs authorities to uphold environmental rights in Vadodara's Vishwamitri River Project

By A Representative The Gujarat State Human Rights Commission (GSHRC) has ordered state and Vadodara municipal authorities to strictly comply with environmental and human rights safeguards during the Vishwamitri River Rejuvenation Project, stressing that the river’s degradation disproportionately affects marginalized communities and violates citizens’ rights to a healthy environment.

CPM’s evaluation of BJP reflects its political character and its reluctance to take on battle against neo-fascism

By Harsh Thakor* A controversial debate has emerged in the revolutionary camp regarding the Communist Party of India (Marxist)'s categorization of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Many Communists criticize the CPM’s reluctance to label the BJP as a fascist party and India as a fascist state. Various factors must be considered to arrive at an accurate assessment. Understanding the original meaning and historical development of fascism is essential, as well as analyzing how it manifests in the present global and national context.
