Some interesting data on excess mortality coming out of Germany.
Info Institute is "surprised" by the increase in excess mortality in Germany for the year 2022.
They say "The exact reasons for this are still unclear." Does nobody think its strange that excess mortality went up after vaccines were introduced. Of the vaccines were working properly the excess mortality should have went down.

In the Corona years, 180,000 more people died than expected under normal circumstances
In the Corona years 2020 to 2022, around 180,000 more people died in Germany than would have been expected. This is the result of calculations by the ifo institute on excess mortality. "The elderly were particularly poorly protected," says Joachim Ragnitz, deputy head of the Dresden branch of the Ifo. In the 80+ age group alone, 116,000 more people died than would have been usual, in the 60 to 79 age group it was 51,000. In the large age group of 30 to 59 years, on the other hand, there were only 12,000 additional deaths, and among the 0 to 29 year olds only around 900.
The excess mortality rate per 100,000 inhabitants was 640 in the 80+ age group, and 92 in the age group 60 to 79 years below. In the two younger age groups, the relative excess mortality was much lower, namely 12 and 1.
"It is surprising that excess mortality accelerated again in 2022," says Ragnitz. There were around 39,000 additional deaths in 2020, 68,000 a year later and almost 74,000 in 2022. “The exact reasons for this are still unclear. The heat waves in the summer and the flu outbreaks at the end of the year may also have played a role,” he adds.
To calculate the expected number of deaths, the ifo Institute takes the average for the years 2016 to 2019 before the Corona period and adjusts it for changes in the age structure and increasing life expectancy.
