Massive Deaths Unexplained Post COVID Vaxxes; Lies Lies Lies From Biden & State Dept.
Long Funeral Homes, Short Life Insurers? Unexplained, Disturbing Trends in U.S. MortalityPosted: 04 Feb 2022 10:18 AM PSTFour weeks ago, OneAmerica insurance company CEO Scott Davison revealed that they had witnessed ‘the highest death rates in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica’ with a jump of ‘40% over what they were pre-pandemic.‘ Interestingly, Davison noted that the majority of deaths are not classified as due to Covid-19.So the CEO in his own words. They are mandating vaccines in the workplace and raising premiums in lower vaccinated counties because they are mistakenly guessing here initially. The premiums will change to higher vaccinated areas as time moves on is my guess. He missed the plot. pic.twitter.com/avjFxkn7su— Ed ??Free Thinker & Oracle (@DowdEdward) January 3, 2022The implication to many was clear – that the Covid-19 vaccine is linked to the excess mortality, and months of vaccine injury reports were now spilling over to actuarial data – which is beginning to show, among other things, that younger, working-age people began dying in greater numbers as vaccine mandates hit – for a disease which primarily kills older, non-working age individuals. The counter argument, often presented without evidence, is that the increase is due to people who postponed elective surgeries and other medical treatments during the pandemic.Ex-Blackrock fund manager Ed Dowd is in the former camp, and has spent the last month analyzing breadcrumbs associated with a rise in excess mortality vs. pre-pandemic levels. Given that we’re now in the middle of earnings season, there are some pretty big crumbs rolling out of the insurance and funeral services industries which are beginning to paint a disturbing picture.A few key observations:Mortality worsened in 2021 vs. 2020 despite widespread vaccinationsA spike in Mortality among younger, working-age individuals coincided with vaccine mandatesThe spike in younger deaths peaked in Q3 2021 when Covid deaths were extremely low (but rising into the end of September)On Tuesday, financial insurance company Unum reported that their Life segment saw an increase of 9% in their ratio of payouts vs. premiums (Benefit ratio), a 17.4% increase in 2021 vs. 2020 despite widespread vaccinations, and a 13.3% increase over 2019.In 2019 the unit had $266 million profit, last year a profit of $82 million & this year a loss of -$192 million. A swing of $458 million lower over 2 years. Important to remember these are employed working age folks. Other fun numbers:Q4 vs 2020= +21% Q4 vs 2019= +36%— Ed ??Free Thinker & Oracle (@DowdEdward) February 2, 2022On Wednesday, Dowd noted that funeral home company Carriage Services saw a 28% increase in September 2021 vs. 2020, and a 13% increase in August vs. the same period. Funerals and cremations are up 12% and 13% respectively on the quarter.In general, funeral homes saw an uptick in business in Q3, and Dowd will be closely monitoring Q4 reports which are expected around Feb. 15 – less than two weeks away.Business has been quite good since the introduction of the vaccines & the stock was up 106% in 2021. Curious no?Guys this is shocking as 89% of Funeral homes are private in US. We are seeing the tip of iceberg. The public companies report Q4 middle of February pic.twitter.com/M2rpNhIJzt— Ed ??Free Thinker & Oracle (@DowdEdward) February 2, 2022Dowd also noted on Wednesday that Lincoln National’s death claims are up 13.7% y/y, and up 57% in Q4 vs. 2019. CFO Randy Frietag explained on Thursday that in 2021, the share of young people dying from Covid doubled in the second half of the year.Tom Gallagher of Evercore asked the question of Covid mortality impact. That was the answer.Boom ? folks it’s clear as day what changed in second half of 2021. Variants less virulent than original but we had mandates & boosters hitting. This is a total shit show to behold.— Ed ??Free Thinker & Oracle (@DowdEdward) February 3, 2022Meanwhile, Reinsurance Group of America noted in their Thursday earnings call that Q4 was impacted by a meaningful level of Covid-19 mortality claims despite the fact that the Covid-19 vaccines have been around for more than a year.RGA: non-Covid claims are elevated due to “indirect” ? effects of Covid-19 pic.twitter.com/XHfgy4TSwS— Ed ??Free Thinker & Oracle (@DowdEdward) February 3, 2022Remind us again how the vaccines are helping?RGA: Life re-insurer reports profit in 4Q20 & a loss in 4Q21 on higher mortality pic.twitter.com/j0yAjCd2wt— Ed ??Free Thinker & Oracle (@DowdEdward) February 3, 2022Also noting a spike in younger deaths which peaked in Q3 2022, is Hardford Insurance Group, which reported that mortality is up 32% from 2019 pre-covid levels, and 20% from 2020 pre-vaccine levels.…because fewer older people dying, but younger people are dying more…?…very odd pic.twitter.com/CCfqXY3E3M— Ed ??Free Thinker & Oracle (@DowdEdward) February 4, 2022mRNA inventor Dr. Robert Malone noted the troubling data in a recent appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room”:Malone calling out bump in DOD data & Insurance company results for death & disability. pic.twitter.com/hV5Gsjr4uv— Ed ??Free Thinker & Oracle (@DowdEdward) February 4, 2022Is there a fancy Latin name for the fallacy where someone points out that a useless harmful covid mitigation measure is useless and harmful, and lockdowners respond with a link to a chart that shows covid kills people?— Jay Bhattacharya (@DrJBhattacharya) February 4, 2022Some key questions for the insurance companies:What are the leading causes of death for 2020 and 2021?How many of those who died were vaccinated vs. unvaccinated?Reinsurance Group of America, for example, reported a profit in Q4 2020 when the most of the population was unvaccinated and amid a deadlier strain of Covid-19, yet they registered a loss in Q4 2021 with more than 60% of the country fully vaccinated (and around 75% who have received at least one dose).Perhaps this is why Pfizer is now actively fighting to suppress research data submitted to the FDA for approval – while the pharmaceutical giant and its peers continue to enjoy legal immunity from vaccine injuries.In closing, some tongue-in-cheek non investment advice from Dowd:Long funeral homes short life insurance. Not investment advice but illustrates my point. One industry is growing the other is not. $SCI $CSV pic.twitter.com/OIvUCQGdNX— Ed ??Free Thinker & Oracle (@DowdEdward) February 3, 2022Republished from ZeroHedge.com with permissionThe post Long Funeral Homes, Short Life Insurers?

Russia Mocks U.S. False Flag Video Accusation as “Delusional”Posted: 04 Feb 2022 07:13 AM PSTRussia has responded to the United States’ elaborate and bizarre accusations that it will produce a propaganda false flag video to use a pretext to invade Ukraine, calling the US narrative “delusional” and “nonsense”. “The delusional nature of such fabrications — and there are more and more of them every day — is obvious to any more or less experienced political scientist,” Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in televised remarks Friday.“It’s not my call to guess why our Western colleagues can be surprised now,” Lavrov added. “They are surprised with or without reason, mostly for no reason, or at some reasons that they make up themselves.”Referring to a US State Department explanation on Thursday, which was met with considerable pushback even from US mainstream reporters, Lavrov described, “I saw on the Internet some statements by the Department of State that Russia was plotting to film some fake videos of an alleged Ukrainian attack on the Donbass. The craziness of such ideas… is obvious to any more or less experienced political scientist,” the Russian top diplomat said.When pressed for evidence by AP journalist Matt Lee, the State Department’s Ned Price tried to shut down the line of inquiry by suggesting Lee and other skeptics “find solace in information that the Russians are putting out” – to which Lee audibly laughed, given he was the most veteran American journalist in the room.Earlier on Thursday the Biden administration and US intelligence came out with some explosive and outlandish claims, saying Russia is planning to release a video depicting graphic scenes of a “staged false explosion with corpses, actors depicting mourners, and images of destroyed locations and military equipment,” as CNN described it. The story was featured initially in The Washington Post and New York Times – and as usual was anonymously sourced to “officials say…”.Separately on Friday, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, “I’d recommend not to take anyone’s word for it, especially the State Department, when it comes to these issues.”Please watch this video in which journalist Matt Lee accuses State Dept. spokesman Ned Price of veering into “Alex Jones territory” by making the claim that Russia plans to stage a “false flag” attack with “crisis actors” — Price then sneeringly calls Lee a Russian propagandist pic.twitter.com/5xMsbfWYgz— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) February 3, 2022Matt Lee himself during Thursday’s testy exchange during the US briefing pointed out when Price refused to cite any level of sourcing or evidence, “That’s not evidence, Ned, that’s you saying it.” Lee pointed out the recent history of lies and half-truths coming from US officials…“I would like to see some proof that you can show that shows what the Russians are doing. I’ve been doing this a long time…I remember Iraq and that Kabul’s not going to fall.”Meanwhile, Rabobank has some as usual insightful and amusing commentary on the sad state of affairs as follows below…??U.S. paratroopers with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division prepare for deployment to Eastern Europe, Feb. 3, 2022, amid escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia.?NATO Welcomes Additional US Troops to Bolster Alliance’s Eastern Flank https://t.co/2gdIxv9aNz pic.twitter.com/R2N9wRC60z— The Voice of America (@VOANews) February 3, 2022Oil prices jumped – and so they should. Either the US allegation is true, and Russia wants a war via fake news; or it isn’t, and the US wants a war (**cough** Gulf of Tonkin** cough **Iraqi WMD** cough) via fake news about fake news; or, the US is so incompetent it is likely to get a war anyway. As another 1,700 US paratroopers fly from Fort Bragg to Europe, Russia says it is justified in responding in kind.
