One disease kills over half a million in the EU each year – and it’s not COVID

Today the EU marks International Heart Day – we bring you the official Brexit facts

Heart disease kills almost three times as many EU & UK citizens as COVID

The EU has just published a report to mark International Heart Day today, 29 Sept 2020.

The latest data which has been published by the EU shows figures for 2016 and includes the United Kingdom. Among the 4.5 million deaths reported in the European Union in 2016, more than half a million were due to coronary diseases, including heart attacks.

Brexit Facts4EU.Org Summary

EU deaths from heart disease (2016): 542,700
EU deaths ‘with’ COVID (2020 to date) : 188,499
Total EU deaths in 2016 from all causes: 4,527,500

Current ratio of heart disease deaths to ‘with COVID’ deaths: 2.9 to 1
And heart disease is only the third most common cause of death

Where does the UK sit? The facts on heart disease across the EU

At EU level, the standardised rate of deaths from coronary heart diseases stood at 1,194 deaths per million inhabitants in 2016. Men were almost twice as likely to die from coronary heart diseases as women, with 1,625 deaths per million for men compared to 881 deaths per million for women.

The likelihood of dying from heart disease varies dramatically across the EU. (We have shown the UK as it was still a member state in 2016.)

Observations

Heart disease is not the main killer in the EU and UK. In fact it’s the third most common cause of death, after cancer and dementia. COVID-19 is of course way down the list, as we have previously reported.

Nevertheless, it is International Heart Day and the EU have marked this. We felt it only right to do the same, but felt that readers might like to see a comparison with COVID-19.

In these troubled times facts are important for the public. Sadly the ‘facts’ from the likes of Sir Patrick Vallance and Professor Chris Whitty at this week’s press conference were lamentable, to say the least. Their absurd conjecture of an exponential explosion in COVID has already proved to be nonsense, with ‘case’ numbers dropping ever since they made their announcement.

Below is the latest chart for deaths ‘with COVID’ from the Government, as of yesterday.

We hope we have provided information which informs the public debate and which lends a sense of proportion to the doom-mongering daily news from the BBC and other broadcasters.

As ever, we will be returning to our usual specialism of Brexit in our coming articles. If you can help us to keep going in the fight for a fully free, independent and sovereign United Kingdom, you will find quick, secure, and confidential donation methods below this article. Thank you so much.

In week 38, 10,874 people died (all causes) in the UK. This continued to be above the 5 yr average, excluding covid. Nobody in Parliament seems bothered.
158 of the 10,874 'involved' covid19 (1.5%), not necessarily 'of' covid19.
14% of all deaths related to flu/pneumonia AND covid 19 (which is 1.5% of all deaths), so approx 1,522.

Sadly, the ONS no longer appear to be analysing any other death causes, particularly continuing excess deaths, other than batflu & other coronaviruses & pneumonia, not even in a week with an EU designated 'heart day'.
What their stats do show is that approx 1,359 (12.5%) died of flu/pneumonia whilst 158 (1.5%) 'mentioned' covid.

I feel like the little boy saying the Emporer has no clothes, but if 'they' are saying that the face nappies 'work', why haven't flu cases also reduced? After all, it's a coronavirus. How many of those contracting influenza have been caused by wearing face nappies & increasing the viral load re-inhaled to overwhelm their immune system along with other issues.
_
The facts seem to support that this 'deadly plague' is non-such thing from a medical perspective.
We then have to look to 'other' reasons why our Govt & Parliament are colluding/complicit (there is no other way of looking at it) & continuing in the removal of civil freedoms & rights, and to whose benefit.
A proper Brexit, independent wanting Govt would have amended the UN globalist one world mantra of 'Build Back Better' as 'Build Back British'. Too many warning signs that we are about to be screwed over.

How many times do you think louis xv1 noted the peasants were galvanized and it wasn't business as normal? Fishing is totemic to the people, and symptomatic of the wholesale robbery of the British people. Sold out from within since thatcher. A tiny woman if you ever met her, though imbued with the preserve of the British. Iron willed. I wonder who is really advising you at points boris. Sovereignty was non negotiable to the people more today than it was before, during and after the vote. It has been raised in the common conscience to be an escape from the reality of their limited options. And so it should be as we are the fathers of industry and the mothers of shopkeepers. To be of us you need a sense of fairness and equality. Did we not all read the same fairytales when we were younger, did we not all recognize the importance of being good. Or the inherent risk of the darkness. Nothing has changed only the characters. I implore the government to make sure that the deal really does favor them the long suffering people of these isles. They need a chance to have a life not ruled by fear or debt. Real jobs are skin in the game. House, car, clothing and food is not the holy grail and should be achievable for any working family. Be real or be gone
