Why is data about deaths being held back?

Mortality data tells us information about deaths in Australia and is usually released every 6 weeks. For an unexplained reason, the latest data is over 15 weeks overdue. There’s no good reason for this, the government needs to be transparent and release the data now.

Transcript

Mr President as a servant to the people of Queensland and Australia I have a duty to ensure reasoned and accurate debate.

The Minister representing the Minister for Health, Senator Colbeck has that same duty, to ensure data central to reasoned and informed debate is made public.

For many years following the standardization of mortality reporting between the states mortality data has been made available 6 weeks after the period to which it relates.

The last mortality data covers the period to 30^th June 2021. It is now October 18^th. Suddenly and without explanation data is being held back for 15 weeks.

The Minister should have been prepared for this question, I did advise his office of the subject of my question today and also directed his office to my question on notice number 3970 asking for this same information.

QON 3970 has been outstanding for 12 weeks.

The data to June 30^th shows deaths in Australia in 2021 are above the 7 year moving average and consistently above anything we have ever seen before in Australia.

It is troubling that NSW and Queensland no longer make this information public.

In the absence of Australian mortality data I will quickly reference official data from the UK, which has seen an increase in deaths amongst 15 – 17 year olds of 20% following the start of vaccination of that cohort, trending towards 25% at younger ages down to 4.

More worrying is that this distribution is not even, the mortality rate amongst boys was up 28%, and amongst girls 8%.

This may result from one of the 268 known adverse interactions between the COVID vaccines and other prescription drugs documented by the United States FDA on their website.

Logic would dictate that before giving a patient a COVID vaccine one would check to see what drugs they are already using, and what natural immunity they may have resulting from of a previous COVID infection.

I don’t think the 33 Bunnings Stores in Queensland that offered vaccinations to the general public last weekend asked for that information.

Natural antibodies were found by a very recent, gold standard paper by the University of Edinburgh to offer protection against COVID of 80%, substantially better than the vaccines are now providing.[1]

I am concerned this Parliament’s reckless vaccination crusade is killing people.

Let me pose some wider questions for the Minister to consider:

Is the well documented reduction in health and diagnostic services creating a time bomb in delayed treatment – early detection of cancer, for instance – and is that killing people?

Are widespread lockdowns creating mental health problems that result in increased loss of life?

Is locking up elderly Australians in Nursing Homes with no family contact causing elderly to let go early?

Are business owners who have seen their life work destroyed and bankrupted by capricious and counter-productive lockdowns losing their battle with life?

These are questions any prudent, caring government would be worried about. This Government and this Parliament should be watching mortality data closely, to get guidance on these matters in real time.

Sadly this Government and this Parliament is neither prudent nor caring.

Our community, our nation deserves better.

Release the data.
