The Mail told me today there are around 80 cancer deaths each day in the UK. Yet I was sure it was many more; Google tells me 450. What am I to believe?

Is it different ways of interpreting the death certificate like they do with covid?
There are usually up to four contributing factors included, so you could either just count the main one, or all of them?

Yes different countries work out statistics in different ways and the clue is that the Mail refers only to the "most common" cancers. I find it interesting because it implies that the media deliberately tries to exaggerate - up or down - to fit their agenda. If there are only 80 deaths a day in the average year from cancer, my opinion that Covid was a trivial virus before vaccines becomes suspect. If there were 450 deaths a day from cancer - it supports my opinion on Covid. And if the figure of 80 has been deliberately selected it implies that media DOES interpret figures and publish them in a way that supports the agenda.

You see the figures from China (90K cases; 4600 deaths) can be explained by media, politicians and "experts" as a country "massaging down" the truth. The figures from Australia (30K cases; 910 deaths) can be explained as brilliant use of lockdown. We can go around the world explaining why everywhere outside the Death Five have had hardly any deaths from - or "with" - Covid, and give different reasons.

But the reality is that only the Death Five had many deaths before vaccines. Look at the figures in France (below). And even those deaths, when taken as comparison to every day death rates (mostly the elderly - old people DO tend to die) - are tiny.

Unless you want a "better story".

This article helps clearly set out how the recording of Covid deaths drives the narrative of Covid. Death 5? We have shot ourselves in the foot in recording Covid deaths (even in the absence of a positive test - just on "suspicion!) far more widely and inaccurately than most countries.

But people just don't seem to care about the details...
