Why do they keep releasing such bogus numbers. Don't they have any more working brain at ONS that can figure that vaccines cannot lower non-Covid deaths ?

Thank you for noting this

"I am surprised that throughout the report, there is no mention whatsoever, let alone an attempt to explain why the over 30s vaccinated should have a substantially lower non-COVID mortality rate than the unvaccinated."

If you look at this really despicable "explanation" for the increased overall all cause mortality in the age group 20-39 https://www.ons.gov.uk/visualisations/dvc1721/fig4wrapper/index.html,

You will notice they did 3 things to obfuscate.

1) They cleverly analyzed the 20-39 together averaging out the higher ASMR in the 20s vaccinated with higher ASMR in 30s unvaccinated.

2) They dropped the most consequential moments of the weeks after vaccination and only showed 21 days after each vaccine dose.

3) They arbitrarily decided to bin people into "Good Health", "Poor health", "Poorest health".

This last one is really bad because you are telling people that if your loved one died, it's probably because they were in bad shape and that the vaccine would have worked for them if they had just been healthier. Really? Then what's the justification to use the vaccine to protect them? More importantly, if we can't know who is in good heath or poor health, how will the vaccine be contraindicated for this group? On the contrary, they are advertising to this group?!!

People should demand that they explain what the parameters of these "health" indicators are or if it's simply "Didn't react well to the vaccine, so must be of poor health, like Sergio Aguero".

Now if I was on twitter, I would ask Prof. Pagel and Dr. Gurdasani if they have any interest in finding out why the children who are vaccinated are dying at 73x the rate from Covid after vaccine. I bet they don't want ONS to do a similar graph for the 10-19s age group because they cooked denominators will show even more glaringly than the "poorer health" graphic I linked where unvaccinated magically start dying during vaccination of different group. (As your paper with Prof. Fenton and group showed).
