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

The golden crop: How turmeric is transforming women's lives in tribal India

By Vikas Meshram* When the lush green fields of turmeric sway in the tribal belt of southern Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat, it is not merely a spice crop — it is the golden glow of self-reliance. In villages where even basic spices once had to be bought from the market, the very soil today is yielding a prosperity that has transformed the lives of thousands of families. At the heart of this transformation is the initiative of Vaagdhara, which has linked turmeric with livelihoods, nutrition, and village self-governance — gram swaraj.

Swami Vivekananda's views on caste and sexuality were 'painfully' regressive

By Bhaskar Sur* Swami Vivekananda now belongs more to the modern Hindu mythology than reality. It makes a daunting job to discover the real human being who knew unemployment, humiliation of losing a teaching job for 'incompetence', longed in vain for the bliss of a happy conjugal life only to suffer the consequent frustration.

Authoritarian destruction of the public sphere in Ecuador: Trumpism in action?

By Pilar Troya Fernández The situation in Ecuador under Daniel Noboa's government is one of authoritarianism advancing on several fronts simultaneously to consolidate neoliberalism and total submission to the US international agenda. These are not isolated measures, but rather a coordinated strategy that combines job insecurity, the dismantling of the welfare state, unrestricted access to mining, the continuation of oil exploitation without environmental considerations, the centralization of power through the financial suffocation of local governments, and the systematic criminalization of all forms of opposition and popular organization.

Buddhist shrines were 'massively destroyed' by Brahmanical rulers: Historian DN Jha

Nalanda mahavihara By Rajiv Shah Prominent historian DN Jha, an expert in India's ancient and medieval past, in his new book , "Against the Grain: Notes on Identity, Intolerance and History", in a sharp critique of "Hindutva ideologues", who look at the ancient period of Indian history as "a golden age marked by social harmony, devoid of any religious violence", has said, "Demolition and desecration of rival religious establishments, and the appropriation of their idols, was not uncommon in India before the advent of Islam".

Echoes of Vietnam and Chile: The devastating cost of the I-A Axis in Iran

By Ram Puniyani The recent joint military actions by Israel and the United States against Iran have been devastating. Like all wars, this conflict is brutal to its core, leaving a trail of human suffering in its wake. The stated pretext for this aggression—the brutality of the Ayatollah Khamenei regime and its nuclear ambitions—clashes sharply with the reality of the diplomatic landscape. Iran had expressed a willingness to remain at the negotiating table, signaling a readiness to concede points emerging from dialogue.

False claim? What Venezuela is witnessing is not surrender but a tactical retreat

By Manolo De Los Santos The early morning hours of January 3, 2026, marked an inflection point in Venezuela and Latin America’s centuries-long struggle for self-determination and independence. Operation Absolute Resolve, ordered by the Trump administration, constituted the most brutal and direct military assault on a sovereign state in the region in recent memory. In a shocking operation that left hundreds dead, President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores were illegally kidnapped from Venezuelan soil and transported to the United States, where they now face fabricated charges in a New York federal detention facility. In the two months since this act of war, a torrent of speculation has emerged from so-called experts and pundits across the political spectrum. This has followed three main lines: One . The operation’s success indicated treason at the highest levels of the Bolivarian Revolution. Two . Acting President Delcy Rodríguez and the remaining leadership have abandone...

The selective memory of a violent city: Uttam Nagar and the invisible victims of Delhi

By Sunil Kumar* Hundreds of murders take place in Delhi every year, yet only a few incidents become topics of nationwide discussion. The question is: why does this happen? Today, the incident in Uttam Nagar has become the centre of national debate. A 26-year-old man, Tarun Kumar, was killed following a dispute that reportedly began after a balloon hit a small child. In several colonies of Delhi, slogans such as “Jai Shri Ram” and “Vande Mataram” are being raised while demanding the death penalty for Tarun’s killers. As a result, nearly 50,000 residents of Hastsal JJ Colony are now living in what resembles a state of confinement.

The price of silence: Why Modi won’t follow Shastri, appeal for sacrifice

By Arundhati Dhuru, Sandeep Pandey* In 1965, as India grappled with war and a crippling food crisis, Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri faced a United States that used wheat shipments under the PL-480 agreement as a lever to dictate Indian foreign policy. Shastri’s response remains legendary: he appealed to the nation to skip one meal a day. Millions of middle-class households complied, choosing temporary hunger over the sacrifice of national dignity. Today, India faces a modern equivalent in the energy sector, yet the leadership’s response stands in stark contrast to that era of self-reliance.

Love letters in a lifelong war: Babusha Kohli’s resistance in verse

By Ravi Ranjan* “War does not determine who is right—only who is left.” Bertrand Russell’s words echo hauntingly in our times, and few contemporary Hindi poets embody this truth as profoundly as Babusha Kohli. Emerging from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, Kohli has carved a unique space in literature by weaving together tenderness, protest, and philosophy across poetry, prose, and cinema. Her work is not merely artistic expression—it is resistance, refuge, and a call for peace.
