Debate on excess deaths 20th October
but will MPs attend this time?
This letter has been sent to all MPs
Please forward it to your own MP, urging them to attend the debate (and a copy to your local constituency chairman)
Dear Colleague,
We are a group of experienced health professionals and academics who have been very concerned at the excess mortality which has been ongoing throughout 2021 and 2022. We understand that an Adjournment Debate has finally been secured on this topic for Friday 20th October and we would urge you to attend. It has become apparent that many aspects of the pandemic management have become politicised - your overriding responsibility is to set aside party divisions and to focus on the people who elected you, as we are sure you will agree.
You doubtless all have constituents who have suffered in numerous ways from the management of the pandemic, whether adults whose mental health or financial stability or access to health care was impacted, or children whose schooling was disrupted. Whether you know them or not, you will also all have constituents who have suffered serious adverse events from the Covid-19 vaccines, yet very few MPs have attended debates on this matter. Only last month, Yasmin Qureshi led a debate on the plight of women whose unborn babies were damaged by a hormone pregnancy test in use in the 1960s and who are still seeking recognition. The plight of the Covid-vaccine-injured is following the same slow pathway.
Most seriously, there has been significant excess mortality across all age groups in 2022 and 2023 in the UK; these are predominantly non-Covid deaths. There are serious grounds for thinking that at least a proportion of these deaths are related to the vaccine rollout, but the government and its advisors are reluctant to even consider this possibility. Excess Covid deaths during the first year or two of any pandemic are to be expected, thereafter excess deaths would usually disappear and the cumulative line flatten since weaker and more vulnerable people would already have died prematurely during the pandemic year(s).
But this did not happen, and excess deaths have continued throughout 2022 and 2023, as clearly shown in Figure 1 below. The size of this surge in deaths particularly in younger age groups is shown in the ‘heatmap’ in Figure 2, with excess deaths occurring for all age groups 0-65 for every month since June 2022. The cause needs urgent and transparent investigation - are they delayed effects of covid infections, covid vaccines, lockdowns or indeed some altogether different explanation? Without a root cause analysis, we cannot begin to find ways to reverse this trend.
We implore you and all MPs to look with an open mind at these issues and consider whether you can add your support to the so far small band of MPs from across the political spectrum who are trying to improve public safety. An Adjournment Debate on the excess deaths has been secured for Friday 20th October and we urge you to attend.
