why did you stop at 2020 in your chart?Were you around for the whole bet on this? It occupied a whole thread back in the day.
The Daily — Deaths, 2020
There were 307,205 deaths in Canada in 2020, an increase of 21,935 over the number of deaths observed in 2019. While some year-to-year increase in the number of deaths is expected, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on mortality in Canada, contributing to the largest annual...www150.statcan.gc.ca
-- Life expectancy fell by more than half a year in 2020, the largest single-year decline in Canada since national vital statistics started to be collected in 1921
-- Over the course of the year, COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death in 2020, accounting for 5.3% of all deaths in Canada, behind cancer (26.4%) and heart disease (17.5%).
First of all, "250,000 a year" is a death total, not a rate.
And it staying exactly the same over 5 years with an increasing population would actually mean the death rate was getting higher.
But sure, let's look at the actual numbers.
Deaths and age-specific mortality rates, by selected grouped causes
Number of deaths and age-specific mortality rates for selected grouped causes, by age group and sex, 2000 to most recent year.www150.statcan.gc.ca
Year Deaths Mortality rate (deaths/100,000) 2015 264,333 737.7 2016 267,213 736.8 2017 278,298 762.3 2018 285,704 770.8 2019 285,301 758.8 2020 308,412 811.5
Oops.
2020 broke 300,000 for the first time (but it was already well above the 250,000 you thought it was) and just to show it clearly, it also shot above 800/100,000
If you want to argue about COVID, go ahead, but please don't just make up numbers and pretend nothing happened.
in 2022 the number of deaths increased to 334 081
does that mean that the vaccine didn't work?
in Sweden no lock down approach was accepted and the number of deaths decreased from 2020 to 2022
