Sad to hear Meg. It is unfortunate that this death presumably will not appear in the UK ONS Covid statistics because it did not occur within 28 days of infection.

Another lie, just like the vaccines were supposed to stop you transmitting it.
The death rates are consistent (slightly higher) than any other flue epidemic. Dodgy reporting is mainly due to that. Also, infection rates were highest prior to the lockdowns, never mind the vaccines, most people would have had a degree of natural immunity by the time the vaccines were released.
Lots of other dodgy data as I’ve said before, but you believe what you want to believe.
It’s true.
the holes in a facemask are way to big to stop a virus. You may be protected from droplets, but with airborne vaccines thats a bit like pissing on a forest fire and claiming you helped to slow its spread.
If you report someone being killed by being run over by a bus who happens to have had Covid in the last 28 days, thats treated as a covid death.
Just one example of the stupid reporting by governments and health authorities. According to the ONS in the UK the actual number of people with covid as the only cause of death was around 17,400.
