Post-death positives and other evidence of inflated Covid deaths

Since the Japanese police have to look into deaths outside of medical facilities, the National Police Agency (NPA) has provided details of the 1364 Covid deaths from April (4月) 2021 to Feb (2月) 2022 that involved people dying not only at home or in elderly care facilities but also in ambulances on the way to hospital. So what does the NPA data say?

The first table gives the monthly numbers of Covid deaths outside of medical facilities, the numbers of incidents where Covid was judged to be the cause of death (CoD), and the numbers of people who tested positive while alive. Yes, that’s right: in Japan, you can be a Covid death not only if you test positive before you die but also if you die before you test positive. The far-right data is the number of pre-death positives where Covid was judged to be the CoD, the numbers of which were in Tokyo are shown in parentheses. 

As you can see, only 670 (49%) of the total deaths were judged to be due to Covid. Those of you who are mathematically inclined can also work out that of the 749 post-death positives, 345 (46%) were judged to be due to Covid and 404 (54%) died of other causes.

The post-death positives who died from other causes include a teenage boy who died in an accident, and pre-death ones include a women in her 30s who committed suicide during home isolation. Other pre-death positives were mostly people who died during home isolation/recuperation.

Interestingly, Covid deaths outside of medical facilities in January and February 2022 (715) outnumber those than from April to December 2021 (649), but fewer of them were judged to be due to Covid: 267 (37.3%) vs. 403 (62.1%).

Next is the breakdown of the deaths by age group: 10代 meaning 10-19, 20代 meaning 20-29, etc.

It may be worth noting that the 1 actual Covid-related death aged 10-19 outside of medical facilities was a doubled-jabbed university student who died in an ambulance. 

While the few deaths under 40 don’t inflate Japan’s overall number of Covid deaths greatly, they do mean that deaths from other causes outside of medical facilities between April 2021 and February 2022 account for 

2 out of all 3 Covid deaths under 10 (66%), 

3 out of all 7 Covid deaths aged 10-19 (43%), 

17 out of all 35 Covid deaths aged 20-29 (48.5%), 

and 28 out of all 105 Covid deaths aged 30-39 (26.6%).

All this is consistent with recent data from Osaka showing only 60% of all recent deaths Covid deaths actually were due to Covid, with even lower percentages for people under 60. 

So now you know that in Japan, PCR positives are wanted, dead or alive.
