Out of curiosity, what do you think is causing the big rise in excess deaths in 2021 (vs 2020)? It happened in Australia pre-Omicron and is also happening for prime-age adults, and is only reversed for the very old, so probably not COVID. Could be vaccine side effects, but seems less prevalent in heavily vaccinated Western Europe, so probably not that either. So what is it?
