Read all commentsWhen considering statistics and numbers reported in regards to Covid 19 it is worth noting that in the UK a recent request for freedom of information from the office of national statistics found that for the number of deaths where Covid-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate, 1 Feb 2020 - 31 Dec 2021, the total number was 6,183 people - average age 82 yrs.
Jan 26th, 2022 - 02:23 pm 0Just 6,183 died of Covid 19 over 2 years.
Let that sink in .
The vast majority of the numbers reported were people who died WITH Covid 19 and not OF Covid 19 and they mostly had co-morbitidies.

“Uruguay ranks 18th in the list of countries based on the percentage of their populations having received the full vaccination scheme.”
“As a country, Uruguay ranks 70th in the number of SARS-CoV-2 cases.” Uruguay, by population, is #134 of countries in the world.
The 70th largest country in the world is Senegal, with almost five times the population.
From the WHO:
- Senegal: 84,374 confirmed cases of COVID-19; 1,929 deaths, reported to WHO. As of 6 January 2022, a total of 1,923,773 vaccine doses administered.
- Uruguay: 588,995 confirmed cases of COVID-19; 6,308 deaths, reported to WHO. As of 21 January 2022, a total of 7,265,168 vaccine doses administered.
- Uruguay v. Senegal: Uruguay – 0.21% (1/5) the population of Senegal; 278% more vaccines, 598% more cases; 227% more deaths.
I realize that similarity in vaccines administered and deaths might upset coincidence theorists, but there you are.
