A possible boosting factor in higher all-cause mortality is this combination I've not yet seen mentioned: in areas with lengthy lock-downs, there was of course the combination of people not obtaining medical care because they were afraid to leave their homes and/or the lack of open medical facilities even if they were brave enough to venture out. This, as Gato notes, would logically lead to foregone care and/or the diagnosis of serious conditions that might have been treatable if caught early. Now beginning in December 2020 with the mas vaccination campaigns. The mRNA jabs have the potential side effect of depleting the immune system, leading to resurgence of cancers, exacerbating (or creating) heart and circulatory damage, autoimmune issues, and miscellaneous damage. Thus, it logical to assume that some fraction of those who lacked for care early in the pandemic and then took the jabs are doubly damned.
