Dr Mike Yeadon has a degree in biochemistry and toxicology and a research-based PhD in respiratory pharmacology. He has spent over 30 years leading new medicines research in some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, leaving Pfizer in 2011 as Vice President & Chief Scientist for Allergy & Respiratory.

Not quite a High Street chemist, but yeah a chemist.

He also lied 3 minutes in. There’s no excess deaths. Erm well the latest week there was.

I think it was recorded before last ONS death statement. And, remember, the 600 excess was described as statistically insignificant.

Yet you yourself have just detailed his expertise in the respiratory field - not sure what you are getting at by repeating the word chemist.

Statistically non-significant NOT insignificant. Might seem like semantics but it’s an important difference.

Also, the excess deaths were found to be statistically significant in the North West, North East & Yorkshire and the Midlands, which are the regions with the highest Covid rates.

Also, the cause of death figures are statistically significant.

Yes, good point.
We just need to respect the relevant data. I think the ONS Data is a safe one for us all to look at.
Broad brush, from end of may up to the last ONS data deaths have ‘broadly‘ followed the 5 year average.
The data for the last week shows an uptick v previous weeks.
If it stays at that level nationally, I suspect we will all breathe a sigh of relief

Of course, the worry remains that it will increase significantly in the coming weeks.

The latest ONS figures are now two weeks out of date. Unfortunately, in that time, the number of Covid deaths has increased from 700 per week to at least 1,600 per week.

It’s almost certain that excess deaths will have increased as a consequence.

Why don’t we just wait for the data next week instead of speculating

It's not speculation. We already know that Covid deaths increased by around 400 to at least 1,141 in w/e 23rd October (ONS figures are always slightly higher than the sum of daily announced figures) and then by a further 500 to at least 1,659 in w/e 30th October.

Speculating or educated guess? I’m pretty certain deaths will exceed excess deaths vs 5 year average because covid is rifling through society once more

1st September?

talking about using a data point to suit you’re personal agenda

Seriously, what are you talking about?! That is the ICNARC data out today covering the entire period from March till now.

Take the time to look at it properly.
