Digging right in. Excess mortality usually has some lag to the data reporting, so we are about a month behind in what we see. We looked at Q1 when March ended…..now we have data into week 19, May 2022. This is all age all cause excess mortality.Thanks for reading Holding the Line with Dr.
Hi, Dr. Brown. When were these screenshots taken. I visited the link you provided and clearly you can seen the red line for 2022 now trending under the blue 2021 line. As your first screenshot shows, 2022 was clearly trending above last year.
I also recommend checking out Ethical Skeptic on Twitter as he has been tracking the CDC data shenanigans of deleting the deaths. It is an interesting follow. He has been tracking it daily, for 32 days new data was not available. When it suddenly popped back up, 50k+ deaths were deleted and missing.
These were taken about 8-10 days ago. So yes, if you read the disclaimer at the bottom of the post it says that the data today is not matching. The CDC did a massive “update” and they deleted a bunch of data. They are in the “process” of re-uploading that data. Interesting enough, the only data that went missing in the update was deaths. Everything else migrated to the new reporting site just fine. The excess mortality site is not accurate at the moment. That is why I took the data back to May 19th, prior to the data migration issue they are having right now. Hope that clears it up for you!
Thank you very much, Dr. Brown. Very helpful! So grateful these "shenanigans" have been caught via screenshots. Also appreciate being directed to this website. It's a new one for me. It'll be interesting to see what happens once the CDC gets its "data migration issue" resolved.
