What the deliberately blind cannot see!

ONE of the most extraordinary things during this long and wearisome year of pandemic is just how many sane, educated people have taken up the various conspiracy theories. 
Now I can understand a willingness not to trust this government. They have after all performed appallingly badly throughout, squandering our money without proper diligence and placing contracts with their chums on far too many occasions not be seen as criminally corrupt. 
But to reject that the events are even happening is to go so far as to suggest serious mental illness frankly. And this is especially true if these same people have easy access to all the proofs that are available. And like the Moon landings, far too many people would have to be in on the scam for this not to be happening - you can bribe a few hundred but millions are beyond reach! 
The first rejection to shock me is that there are serious frauds involved in recording the deaths. One example is the idea that a young man, tested positive for Covid-19 but who dies in a motorcycle accident three weeks later is recorded as a Covid-19 death! This is beyond ridiculous as so many people would have to be in on the fraud. But proving that one single ridiculous error occurred would be hard. Proving that it cannot matter in the great scheme of this pandemic is blindingly easy. 
First there are 1.3 million employees in the NHS and they have all been reporting assiduously that life this past year has been harrowing and horrific. And scores have died. 
 Second we have seen for ourselves what is happening in hospitals and it has not been easy viewing. 
Thirdly, people have died and families have grieved in numbers too great to even contemplate. But the funeral industry can bear testimony. 
Fourth, and I have to say this is the absolute clincher - excess deaths match the numbers. 
What you ask are excess death. Well until recently they were not something much heard about. But they are beyond any doubt the best measure of the extent of the pandemic. You see it is easy to know how many people 'should' die this year. Or any given year. We have a life expectancy of about 80 years. There are about 64 million of us in the UK. So one eightieth should die each year. That's about 800,00 people. From all causes. 
Guess what? This last year we have seen well over 125,000 'excess deaths' - and all down to coronavirus. Tested and proved on the death certificates of them all. And here below is the annual return for our 12 months of horror and necessary cessation of rights to freedom. 
The black line marks the boundary below which can be seen the average deaths in an average year in white. Our two peak periods of agony and lack of ecstasy can be seen, with the valley of hope just before Christmas equally bloody obvious. So please people, stop kidding yourself and others and accept the vaccine.
