Great work Madeleine, interesting breakdown of 2021! One potential valuable addition is to overlay the vax rates over time, e.g. see page 19 of the report from Denis Rancourt and colleagues: https://correlation-canada.org/covid-19-vaccine-associated-mortality-in-the-southern-hemisphere/

“The actuaries waved their hands at things like ambulance delays and deferred treatment to explain away non-covid excess mortality, but quantified nothing. I’ll investigate this more, but the ambulance ramping/delays around Australia (that I recall) were during the rollout, before covid, and I suggest that any deaths as a consequence should also be attributed to the vaccines. Regarding delayed treatment, I’ve looked at the hospital separations and I haven’t seen evidence of that.“

Spot on. 🎯

I’ve also heard this hand wavy explanation given numerous times by many so called professionals not just the actuaries with no supporting evidence. I’ve also looked at it and can’t find any evidence that it is true. Maybe, I missed something (quite possible) but like you I can’t see any evidence in the data that I’ve seen that supports the conventional explanation.
