The first notable thing is the increase in the number of Covid-related deaths from 855 in 2020 to 1,231, 9,840, and 4,387 in the next three years. With assistance from heavy doses of coercion and compulsion for some sectors, the vaccine rollout from early 2021 had achieved extraordinarily high takeup and
95.5 percent of over-16s were double-vaccinated by the end of April 2022. Thus for practical purposes Australia had achieved universal adult vaccination.
And yet, there were 43 percent more deaths in 2021 and a staggering 11.5 times as many deaths in 2022 as in pre-vaccine 2020. In addition, there were more than five times as many deaths in 2023, by which time the pandemic was supposedly over, as in 2020. If this indicates vaccine success, I hate to think what failure would look like.
