BREAKING - I have the latest monthly death registration data for Ireland.

The official numbers continue to proclaim that over 2,000 people died "from Covid".

But that just doesn't make sense - see below.

Firstly, take a look at this chart showing monthly deaths per 1000 people (adjusted for late registrations).

January 2020 was unusually mild. And April 2020 was the same as Jan 2017 & Jan 2018.

It doesn't look as if the months add up to something worse than the average year...

...which is confirmed by my calculations.

2020, by the end of September, is now perfectly average compared to the prior five years.

Time to show you why the official story doesn't add up...

Excluding 1,805 "Covid-related" deaths by the end of September, the death rate falls to a new record low.

Either non-Covid deaths hit a record low in 2020, despite all of the disruption in hospitals and nursing homes, or something is wrong with the official Covid numbers.

And this analysis does not even adjust for Ireland's rapidly aging population.

When I take the age of the population into account, I find that mortality actually has a great chance of making a new all-time low this year. Despite thousands of "Covid" deaths.

An unusual pandemic!
