This is the second in Paul Weston’s series of articles intended for those who have not yet heard the truth about the disaster caused by the response to the Covid non-pandemic. You can read the introduction and Part 1 here.
ONE simple graph reveals a great deal about the supposed vast numbers of Covid-19 deaths in 2020. This graph relates to the UK but is typical of most Western countries. It shows the number of deaths per 100,000 people (which takes into account a growing or declining population) between 1942-2020.

As you can see, the death rate in the UK in 2020 was much the same as 2008 (the two orange bars) and lower than every year between 1942 to 2007. In what possible way then, can this possibly be termed a lethal pandemic?
As I say, the UK was little different in terms of overall deaths when compared to the rest of the world. This can easily be confirmed by looking at figures for the global population.
In 2019 the global population numbered approximately 7.76billion. In 2020 approximately 7.84billion. In 2021 approximately 7.9billion. In 2022 approximately 7.98billion. 2020 saw a broadly similar rise in global population growth to the other years. This would be an impossibility had there really been a lethal pandemic stalking the land in 2020, as we were repeatedly told.
Approximately 1 per cent of a Western country’s population die every year. The vast majority of these deaths are amongst the very old and the very ill. In a bad flu year, the annual death rate might rise from 1 per cent to 1.1 per cent. In a good year it might drop from 1 per cent to 0.9 per cent.
Between the years 2000 to 2019, approximately 1.1 per cent of the UK population died. As is completely normal. The average age of those who died during those years was 81. The average number of life-threatening illnesses they each suffered from was 3.5 and were, in the main, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney failure etc.
In 2020, the year of the Covid-19 pandemic, approximately 1 per cent of the population died. As is completely normal. The average age of death was 82. The average number of life-threatening illnesses they suffered from was 3.5 and were, in the main, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney failure etc.
How strange. How inexplicably strange. Pandemic Year 2020 actually saw a slight decrease in overall death percentages compared with the two previous decades. This isn’t my opinion: it is a verifiable fact. This isn’t a computer modelled data set: it is a verifiable and historical fact.
In short, there was no lethal pandemic in 2020. Yet nearly all the Western governments locked us down after declaring a public health emergency. They scared us silly every day with terror-porn about gazillions of excess deaths. This makes no sense at all. It was all a lie. One can only conclude there was an alternative agenda at play.
Most people tend not realise how many people die every day from old age/natural causes. The perfectly natural and normal 1 per cent annual death rate in England, a country of 56million people, equates to 560,000 deaths annually or 1,500 daily. In America, a country of 330million, the 1 per cent death rate equates to 3.3million annually or 9,000 daily.
I mention this to show how easy it is for corrupt governments and media outlets to take advantage of such huge numbers. All they need do is attach the label of ‘Covid-19 Death’ to a percentage of perfectly natural and normal deaths in order for a headline of ‘Last Week Saw Three Thousand Deaths From Covid-19!’ to be emblazoned above a bar-chart of death coloured Red! Red! Danger Red! Which is exactly what our corrupt governments and MSM outlets did.
That said, a sizeable number of above average excess deaths was a necessary precondition in March and April 2020 to both shock the newly locked down population into fearful submission, and to crush any questions from the MSM about the genuine seriousness of the pandemic – not that many MSM journalists had the slightest interest.
How did our politicians find a shockingly large and wonderfully convenient number of excess deaths over a short time to kick-start the pandemic? That was easy. They simply engineered them in a war against the old and the ill – thus already close to death – in our care homes.
