Thank you for posting. Add India and also some countries in Africa that have relied on natural immunity towards herd immunity for an even broader picture.

Another stupid saying is "that's just anecdotal." Well where do people think statistics come from? Every statistic is an anecdotal story to someone.

There are extant variations of the slogan, one being "Correlation is not evidence of causation."

Whatever the Variant it is mostly used by corporate controlled Modern Medicine to dismiss evidence of harms its 'remedies' are doing, and especially, to dismiss claims of the efficacies of any non-mainstream remedies...

My preference is "Correlation suggests causation." - as it indicates Doubt, which is not easily ignored as is the definiteness (Authoritativeness) of the "does not prove" slogan...

Some powerful insights into how this can happen:

Life as Trance (Understanding CovIDIOCY)

As the first month of 2022 gathered pace as we moved towards the third calendar year of the fake pandemic, the determined stonewall of mainstream conversation was occasionally infringed upon by mutterings from the periphery of just about every Western country of a continuing die-off arising from the Covid vaccines. American insurance companies were talking of an unprecedented 40 per cent increase in life assurance claims; in Ireland, the national online death-notice site, RIP.ie, was showing an excess in mortality — in the Republic alone — equivalent to that suffered by the whole island in 30 years of the Troubles, and this for the single year of 2021. The same kind of pattern was whispered about by ‘conspiracy theorists’ in multiple European countries.

But nothing of this leached into the mainstream, where there was a continued push for mandatory vaccines, vaccination of children and penalties for citizens and parents who demurred.

A particular phenomenon was especially hard to ignore. All over the world, sporting events were being interrupted by the sudden collapse — sometimes fatal collapse — of athletes — footballers, tennis players, swimmers and so on — who had been at the top of their professional form. Yet, the mainstream contrived mainly to ignore this also, or sometimes to refer to it as something that happened every day. This became an online meme: the everydayness of sudden death among athletes, the only advance warning for which was to be among the fittest of the fit.

Please explain. It looks to me like Italy has a higher rate of booster acceptance than the UK but the UK has significantly higher mortality? What's going on in the UK?

What are African countries? You can't lump those countries into one continent called Africa

In fact, Professor Michael Levitt of Stanford in 2021 asked if anyone could provide him data showing mere correlations between NPIs and reduction in cases. None could!
