Van verwachtingen naar normsterfte
For the subscribers who already received a notification yesterday: Maurice's open letter to prof. Dijkgraaf, who was installed yesterday, has been supplemented by ex-CBS director Jan van der Zanden. See point 5: the first lockdowns. The conversation about the baseline is topical again...
The mystery of Thanatos and the multifactorial analysis
Het oversterftedebat inspireerde Herman Steigstra tot een analyse die de uitspraken van staatssecretaris Karremans bij de enkels afzaagt. Daar werkten we graag aan mee want die waren inderdaad hemeltergend.
CBS gaslighting Part II: "Increase in mortality due to ageing"
CBS wrote an article with provisional figures on mortality in 2024. The final figures with numbers by age and gender will not be released until May, but Statistics Netherlands already reported that there were 2300 more deaths last year in the age group 80 years and older...

An important update on the advancing insight into excess mortality, also available on steig.nl We have been dealing with persistent excess mortality since 2020, something that has now been contradicted by the RIVM. But when is mortality excess mortality? That is of course...
What happened in 2021?

Too bad, then, for the news. Let's show you something first.
Instead of trying to find the truth himself, a science journalist wants to make a portrait of those who are committed to it. Well, we've seen before how corona critics were destroyed by friendly interviewers. And then say afterwards:...
Pandemie van ongevaccineerden?
That has been the position of politicians for a long time, without clear substantiation: the hospitals would be full of unvaccinated people. We had a pandemic of the unvaccinated. With today's knowledge, we know that the administration of vaccinated people by...
Oversterfte bij gevaccineerden?
That's what it's starting to look like. On Tuesday, we already published a post in which we showed that there would be a huge "elixir of life" effect according to the figures in the Nivel article. The attachment with the calculations has since been removed from their website, but...
Covid-19 does well on vaccinations
Covid-19 is de meest gemelde bijwerking van Covid-vaccinaties, zo stelde Wouter Aukema vast na bestudering van de database van het European Medical Agency. Zien we dat ook 'temporeel' terug in de cijfers? Zien we stijgingen en dalingen waar we ze zouden verwachten?...
