Oversterfte juist bij jongere generatie, blijkt uit nieuw onderzoek

In a previous article I have shown how the use of the ASMR method dampens the excess mortality of an aging population. In short: you convert the mortality by age to a population that does not change. It doesn't grow or shrink and there is no aging population either, nothing baby boom. Each age group keeps the exact same size at ASMR. This means that with an aging population, you cross out many more elderly people at the end of a time series than at the beginning of a series of years. And therefore mortality – because mortality is mainly among the elderly.

The problem arises when 'alarmists' point to this graph: the 'crude' mortality in the Netherlands. Crude stands for 'rough': without corrections. Actual mortality probabilities by age, applied to the actual population structure. This is the measured number of deaths.

The objection that is made to this is that you take all kinds of factors into account: 'confounders'. After all, the line is rising while in reality we are getting older and healthier. How is that possible? This is due to the growth of the population. With more people, you also get more deaths. Plus the baby boom/aging is exploding. People then say: you have to get that out, with ASMR, that explains everything. Then it is huge with that mortality. Yes, quite a lot, I think, but those people will die, that's just the definition of mortality. And therefore also much more mortality than expected and that is the definition of excess mortality.

So if you apply ASMR to an aging population, you should by definition see less current mortality compared to the past – because fewer elderly people are calculated than there actually are or the elderly are increased less than at the beginning of the measurement period, which of course gives the same effect.

Simple proof: ageing is the sure not

Out of curiosity, I took a look at what NL looks like with ASMR. I have taken the population structure of 2019 as a reference (Yes, you can). 2019 is the last year of a long stable trend. That is Chart 2. Here you can see a downward trend: the population is no longer growing, there are no more elderly people and fewer and fewer people are dying: declining mortality rates.

Nevertheless, the excess mortality remains remarkably high - contrary to expectations, due to the ASMR. While you include fewer elderly people than there really are, the mortality peak seems to remain intact. That is remarkable. That must mean that something special is going on: 80% of mortality is not among the elderly, as is normally the case. In fact, on closer inspection, the deviation from the trend appears to be even less if we do include the elderly! The upside-down world... That shouldn't be possible, but it is:

It was the last thing I expected to see: More mortality if you give the elderly less weight. Then only one conclusion is possible: This mortality is certainly not mainly among the elderly. That mortality is in younger age groups.

Concluding remarks

The earlier statement by CBS does not make sense. This headline is indicative of the reporting. Strictly speaking, of course, it just seems logical: with an aging population, mortality increases. But in the context of unexplained excess mortality, this headline is meant to be misleading. This is not a mere accident, as is also apparent from the text below.

Anyone who knows something about NLP and marketing will see what is happening here.

• Among the over-80s, we see that thousands of lake deceased.
• At 65-80 years: the increase was storage
• Other age groups: eventually too storage

(In 2019, by the way, CBS explained why ageing of the population not increased: because we are getting older... That trend has apparently stopped abruptly since 2020.)

Articles have regularly been published showing excess mortality in small cohorts, including those under 65. We see a flood of horror stories and peer reviewed case studies about blood problems, DNA pollution, heart failure, cerebral infarctions, turbo-cancer (immune failure), spike production, and then not to mention the non-fatal conditions... It is considered casuistry and anecdotal because, statistically, according to Statistics Netherlands, there is nothing wrong: we are looking at aging.

Counter-argumentation quickly becomes a Quite complicated story. With this relatively simple ASMR-like approach, all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place.

The mortality is NOT due to the increase in the number of elderly people, as Statistics Netherlands wanted us to believe. On the contrary: it is not in the elderly.

And what research was it? Well that's the article above 🙂

It's really not good what is happening, actually this was your job, Agnes...

Thanks to Herman Steigstra, who 'normed' the Crude mortality in the last graph so that it is mathematically (and optically) comparable to the ASMR figures.

Afterburner: I was asked how it is possible that mortality increases when you take out the elderly. That's because the population is 100% in total. If you take out the elderly, the other age groups are given more weight. If their mortality rates have deteriorated, this is reflected in the difference between ASMR and Crude mortality. The fact that this difference is increasing is worrying.
