Kerala government data implicates the Covid vaccines for excess deaths

By Bhaskaran Raman*
On 03 Dec 2024, Mr Unnikrishnan of the Indian Express had written an article titled: “Kerala govt data busts vaccine death myth; no rise in mortality post-Covid”. It claims “no significant change in the death rate in the 35-44 age group between 2019 and 2023”. However, the claim is obviously wrong, even to a casual observer, as per the same data which the article presents, as explained below.
The article shows the following table, titled as “Mortality Rate (Age Group 35-44)”:

The author suggests that the numbers in the last column are the mortality rates. This is obviously wrong – the mortality rate is defined as the number of people dying per year, expressed as a percentage or per 1000 population. Now, the mortality rate in the overall population in India, as per the 2011 census is 7.1 per 1000, or 0.71%. This is for the overall population, and the mortality rate in the 35-44 age-group is likely to be over ten-fold lower, i.e. under 0.07% or lower.
Leaving aside the details of the numbers, the claim of around 3.3% death rate in the 35-44 age-group does not pass the common sense test. If the claim were true, we would be seeing 1 in 30 young people among us die every year, which is obvious not the case. The article is thus claiming an absurdity.
So if the numbers in the last column are not the mortality rate, then what are they? One can deduce this from other numbers. The same Indian Express reported that Kerala had a total of 3,39,648 deaths in 2021. Now, (10,971/3,39,648) = 3.23%. So the numbers in the last column are not the mortality rates but the percentage of 35-44y among those who died!
Now let us look at what the numbers in the table actually tell.
Covid did NOT affect those in the 35-44y age-group. As is clear, from 2019 to 2020, the number of deaths in this age-group did not increase – there is in fact a slight decrease. This also matches with the layperson observation that Covid did not affect the young.
Increase in mortality is time-correlated with the rollout of the so-called Covid “vaccines”. As is also clear from the table, from 2020 to 2021 there is a substantial increase, of about 33% (8,252 to 10,971) in the death count in this age-group. The products are to be termed as “so-called vaccines” as none of the Covid injections prevented anything – they did not prevent Covid infection, they did not prevent Covid hospitalization, they did not even prevent Covid deaths. All of this is of course common knowledge. What may not be common knowledge is that none of the products termed Covid “vaccines” have a completed phase-3 trial data to show scientifically rigorous risk-benefit analysis.
Increase in mortality continues well past 2021. As the table clearly shows, the increase which started in 2021 has persisted into 2023. This also matches with the layperson observation of continuing “sudden” deaths of youth.
Interestingly and concerningly, all of the above three trends match data from a wide variety of other countries – the UK, USA, Singapore, Australia, etc. – throughout the world, the age-group 35-44y were not affected by the SARS-Cov-2 (Covid) virus, but this age-group has seen enormous excess deaths starting the year of the rollout of the so-called “vaccines”. For instance, see a similar graph plotted for the UK below.

Way forward: In summary, the actual data presented in Mr Unnikrishnan’s article is at loggerheads with the text of the same article. The data actually implicates rather than exonerate the Covid vaccines for the excess deaths. Scientific literature is abound with peer-reviewed publications on the various serious adverse effects of the Covid “vaccines” (see references in this talk). Given the above highly concerning data from Kerala, matching in pattern with various other data from around the world, there must be a serious investigation into how these products were rolled out without adequate testing, and that too on a population never at risk from the virus in the first place.

People just accepted the fate as is and the media now-a-days is just black or white wrt political parties and neither television channels nor channels on even social media like YouTube, Instagram could argue about it as they are under complete scrutiny of government (or they might not be interested) and the voice about this issue gets unnoticed

US-China truce temporary, larger trade war between two economies to continue

By Prabir Purkayastha The Trump-Xi meeting in Busan, South Korea on 30 October 2025 may have brought about a temporary relief in the US-China trade war. But unless we see the fine print of the agreement, it is difficult to assess whether this is a temporary truce or the beginning of a real rapprochement between the two nations. The jury is still out on that one and we will wait for a better understanding of what has really been achieved in Busan.

Mergers and privatisation: The Finance Minister’s misguided banking agenda

By Thomas Franco The Finance Minister has once again revived talk of merging two or three large public sector banks to make them globally competitive. Reports also suggest that the government is considering appointing Managing Directors in public sector banks from the private sector. Both moves would strike at the heart of India’s public banking system . Privatisation undermines the constitutional vision of social and economic justice, and such steps could lead to irreversible damage.

New RTI draft rules inspired by citizen-unfriendly, overtly bureaucratic approach

By Venkatesh Nayak* The Department of Personnel and Training , Government of India has invited comments on a new set of Draft Rules (available in English only) to implement The Right to Information Act, 2005 . The RTI Rules were last amended in 2012 after a long period of consultation with various stakeholders. The Government’s move to put the draft RTI Rules out for people’s comments and suggestions for change is a welcome continuation of the tradition of public consultation. Positive aspects of the Draft RTI Rules While 60-65% of the Draft RTI Rules repeat the content of the 2012 RTI Rules, some new aspects deserve appreciation as they clarify the manner of implementation of key provisions of the RTI Act. These are: Provisions for dealing with non-compliance of the orders and directives of the Central Information Commission (CIC) by public authorities- this was missing in the 2012 RTI Rules. Non-compliance is increasingly becoming a major problem- two of my non-compliance cases are...

Political misfires in Bihar: Reasons behind the Opposition's self-inflicted defeat

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat* The Bihar Vidhansabha Election 2025 verdict is out. I maintained deliberate silence about the growing tribe of “social media” experts and their opinions. Lately, these do not fascinate me. Anyone forming an opinion solely on the basis of these “experts” lives in a fool’s paradise. I do not watch them, nor do I follow them on Twitter. I stayed away partly because I was not certain of a MahaGathbandhan victory, even though I wanted it. But my personal preference is not the issue here. The parties disappointed.

Celebrating 125 yr old legacy of healthcare work of missionaries

Vilas Shende, director, Mure Memorial Hospital By Moin Qazi* Central India has been one of the most fertile belts for several unique experiments undertaken by missionaries in the field of education and healthcare. The result is a network of several well-known schools, colleges and hospitals that have woven themselves into the social landscape of the region. They have also become a byword for quality and affordable services delivered to all sections of the society. These institutions are characterised by committed and compassionate staff driven by the selfless pursuit of improving the well-being of society. This is the reason why the region has nursed and nurtured so many eminent people who occupy high positions in varied fields across the country as well as beyond. One of the fruits of this legacy is a more than century old iconic hospital that nestles in the heart of Nagpur city. Named as Mure Memorial Hospital after a British warrior who lost his life in a war while defending his cou...

Sardar Patel was on Nathuram Godse's hit list: Noted Marathi writer Sadanand More

Sadanand More (right) By A Representative In a surprise revelation, well-known Gujarati journalist Hari Desai has claimed that Nathuram Godse did not just kill Mahatma Gandhi, but also intended to kill Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Citing a voluminous book authored by Sadanand More, “Lokmanya to Mahatma”, Volume II, translated from Marathi into English last year, Desai says, nowadays, there is a lot of talk about conspiracy to kill Gandhi, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, and Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, but little is known about how the Sardar was also targeted.
