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

Plastic burning in homes threatens food, water and air across Global South: Study

By Jag Jivan In a groundbreaking study spanning 26 countries across the Global South , researchers have uncovered the widespread and concerning practice of households burning plastic waste as a fuel for cooking, heating, and other domestic needs. The research, published in Nature Communications , reveals that this hazardous method of managing both waste and energy poverty is driven by systemic failures in municipal services and the unaffordability of clean alternatives, posing severe risks to human health and the environment.

Economic superpower’s social failure? Inequality, malnutrition and crisis of India's democracy

By Vikas Meshram India may be celebrated as one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, but a closer look at who benefits from that growth tells a starkly different story. The recently released World Inequality Report 2026 lays bare a country sharply divided by wealth, privilege and power. According to the report, nearly 65 percent of India’s total wealth is owned by the richest 10 percent of its population, while the bottom half of the country controls barely 6.4 percent. The top one percent—around 14 million people—holds more than 40 percent, the highest concentration since 1961. Meanwhile, the female labour force participation rate is a dismal 15.7 percent.

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.

UP tribal woman human rights defender Sokalo released on bail

By A Representative After almost five months in jail, Adivasi human rights defender and forest worker Sokalo Gond has been finally released on bail.Despite being granted bail on October 4, technical and procedural issues kept Sokalo behind bars until November 1. The Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) and the All India Union of Forest Working People (AIUFWP), which are backing Sokalo, called it a "major victory." Sokalo's release follows the earlier releases of Kismatiya and Sukhdev Gond in September. "All three forest workers and human rights defenders were illegally incarcerated under false charges, in what is the State's way of punishing those who are active in their fight for the proper implementation of the Forest Rights Act (2006)", said a CJP statement.

Urgent need to study cause of large number of natural deaths in Gulf countries

By Venkatesh Nayak* According to data tabled in Parliament in April 2018, there are 87.76 lakh (8.77 million) Indians in six Gulf countries, namely Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). While replying to an Unstarred Question (#6091) raised in the Lok Sabha, the Union Minister of State for External Affairs said, during the first half of this financial year alone (between April-September 2018), blue-collared Indian workers in these countries had remitted USD 33.47 Billion back home. Not much is known about the human cost of such earnings which swell up the country’s forex reserves quietly. My recent RTI intervention and research of proceedings in Parliament has revealed that between 2012 and mid-2018 more than 24,570 Indian Workers died in these Gulf countries. This works out to an average of more than 10 deaths per day. For every US$ 1 Billion they remitted to India during the same period there were at least 117 deaths of Indian Workers in Gulf ...

Jayanthi Natarajan "never stood by tribals' rights" in MNC Vedanta's move to mine Niyamigiri Hills in Odisha

By A Representative The Odisha Chapter of the Campaign for Survival and Dignity (CSD), which played a vital role in the struggle for the enactment of historic Forest Rights Act, 2006 has blamed former Union environment minister Jaynaynthi Natarjan for failing to play any vital role to defend the tribals' rights in the forest areas during her tenure under the former UPA government. Countering her recent statement that she rejected environmental clearance to Vendanta, the top UK-based NMC, despite tremendous pressure from her colleagues in Cabinet and huge criticism from industry, and the claim that her decision was “upheld by the Supreme Court”, the CSD said this is simply not true, and actually she "disrespected" FRA.
