Covid in Norway: as Excess Mortality among Young is Up 50%, Officials and 'Experts™' Continue to Lie
Meet the 'Experts™' who continue to gaslight the public--and lie to themselves--about their own sordid role in the WHO-declared, so-called 'Covid Pandemic™'
Remember when a statistician from Norway’s Institute of Public Health (IPH, orig. Folkehelseinstituttet) spoke to state broadcaster NRK and mentioned that excess mortality is way off the charts? Using very drastic language, he said:
With summer upon us, Covid and everything else has all but vanished from polite—or all other—conversation over here.
Even though, while travelling two weeks ago, I bumped into a Norwegian woman who, without taking as much as me mentioning ‘oh, this is like the Covid mandate crap’ in out restaurant railroad car conversation topic. She told me she’d took the injection (two, actually), but got ‘Covid’, according to her statement, ‘right after getting the shot’. She was sick for more than two weeks. I asked her if she’d registered her apparent vaccine injury with the National Medicines Agency (orig. Legemiddelverket), which she declined; she even asked if that was actually possible…
Long story short, it was a strange conversation, esp. as I didn’t say much, if anything, and let my interlocutor do the talking. Well, stranger things are happening, and this is what state broadcaster NRK wrote about the topic of vaccine injuries and excess deaths just yesterday.
As always, translation and emphases mine, as are the bottom lines.
More Young People are Dying of Disease: Researchers Sound the Alarm
Disease took an unusually high number of young lives last year. Researchers fear that late effects of COVID-19 are the cause.
By Jan-Erik Wilthil, NRK, 29 June 2024 [source]
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health’s report on what Norwegians died from [Dødsårsakenregisteret] last year makes for grim reading. For the first time in several years, a higher mortality rate has been recorded among young people aged 1-39 years.
A total of 958 Norwegians in this age group died last year, the highest number in many years. More people than expected died in accidents, from overdoses, or from suicide.
But so-called external causes are not the only reason for the higher mortality rate: diseases claimed more young lives.
Figures from the report also show that far more young people died from disease than the trend would suggest.
378 young lives were lost as a result of disease in 2023. That’s 128 more deaths than expected, which corresponds to an excess mortality rate of 50% [keep in mind that, as bad as this sounds, it’s a relatively small cohort, i.e., a few more incidences here and there may sound drastic].
The IPH has used a model based on the period 2010 to 2019 to calculate expected mortality in 2023. The table below shows the number of deaths and the main causes of death among young people last year, and the deviations from what was expected.
Tab.: causes of deaths [dødsårsak] in the age cohort 1-39 (2023); kreft = cancer; hjerte/kar = cardiovascular; andre sykdommer = other illnesses; alle sydommer = all illnesses; ytre årsaker = other causes; alle årsaker = all causes of death.
Both cancer and cardiovascular diseases claimed more lives than expected, but here the numbers are relatively small. The largest increase came in the category ‘all other diseases’ [orig. ytre årsaker, which, if I would be wearing my tinfoil hat, I’d claim ‘they’ are putting all the possibly ‘vaccine’-related deaths because it cannot be mentioned otherwise].
Causes such as ‘other symptoms and undetermined conditions’ and mental and neurological disorders dominated this category.
Believes Covid-19 is the Cause
Researcher and statistician Richard White at the IPH fears that Covid-19 is one of the main explanations for the increased mortality. He believes that repeated infections have led to poorer health for many young Norwegians.
I’m concerned that the consequences of Covid-19 are not being adequately assessed by the Norwegian authorities. The government’s strategy does not mention the late effects of Covid-19. I’m worried that the people who recommended the ‘no infection’ policy in 2022 are too afraid to change course. [well, why might that be the case? Might it be because ‘the government’ doesn’t want to be sued, tried, and found guilty?]
He emphasises that he is not speaking on behalf of his employer.
The researcher points to several studies that show that Covid-19 can cause serious late effects.
‘A comprehensive report concluded that Covid-19 can cause damage to all of the body's organs’, says White, who has previously worked with excess mortality as a specialist field at the IPH [note the gaslighting: Mr. White and Mr. Wilthil omit here that the linked content—which appears in the original piece—is a so-called ‘consensus study report’ whose (of course) ‘rigorous external review’ was overseen by none other than Robert S. Lawrence of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, i.e., the same institution that pushed the daily death numbers…]
He has also previously warned about the consequences of repeatedly exposing the population to the virus. As early [sic] as March 2024, he predicted that Norway would experience more deaths among young people as a result of many different diseases [of course, Mr. Wilthil wrote about this back then, it is the above-linked piece, and neither mentioned the modRNA injections…]. Now it turns out that he was right.
There has been a sharp increase in sickness absence, illness and death in Norway in recent years, compared to before the pandemic. There are many pieces to this puzzle, and no one is looking at the big picture. I think it’s clear that COVID-19 plays an explanatory role behind all these trends. [limited hangout, the, a composite noun]
According to figures from NAV [Norway’s social insurance corporation], sickness absence increased most among young people aged 25-29 last year.
Many are absent from work due to mental illness. White also links this to the coronavirus [remember, Mr. White is a statistician, not an MD, hence I think it’s o.k. if we all weigh in, too: I think it’s the after-shocks of the modRNA shots—what do you think?]
A previous NAV analysis found that sick leave due to mental illness was 18% higher among people who had previously been on sick leave due to Covid-19.
A record number of people have also been diagnosed with fatigue during the pandemic years. Among 20-64 year olds, GP consultations for fatigue have increased by 75% from 2019 to 2024. This corresponds to an expected increase of 165,000 more doctor visits in 2024.
‘The link between COVID-19 and fatigue is well documented’, adds White.
Tab.: GP consultations for fatigue, 2019-24; numbers for 2024 are estimates.
Asks the Health Minister to Intervene
White is supported by infectious disease physician and Covid researcher Arne Søraas [remember him? As late as autumn 2023 he ‘advised’ the ‘unvaccinated’ to ‘get vaccinated’ ASAP, which is just about everything you need to know about this ‘expert™’]. He has led the Norwegian Covid study with more than 150,000 participants and is one of the country’s foremost experts on ‘Long Covid’.
It's not surprising that we're experiencing increased mortality as a result of several diseases. An increased risk of dying in the months following infection was reported early on in international research. This means that the research predicted that we would see a high mortality rate in Norway. [I’d add: correlation ≠ causation]
Søraas has also previously warned that late effects of COVID-19 would lead to increased mortality.
Now he is asking the Minister of Health to intervene.
It is the Minister of Health’s responsibility to take this seriously and I hope that the Minister seeks knowledge, both from his own bureaucracy and from the research institutions. Mortality in Norway is one of the most important things he is working on. Millions of Covid-19 infections and many extra deaths in 2023 show that the strategy that year was not good enough.
NRK has asked Minister of Health and Care Services Jan Christian Vestre to comment on Søraas’ statements. The political leadership in the ministry believes this is a professional discussion, and refers to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health [well, isn’t that awesome? It’s called ‘circular logic’ for, well, a reason…].
Professor: ‘Not unlikely’
Jörn Klein is a professor of infection control and microbiology at the University of South-Eastern Norway. He also believes that Covid-19 may be a possible cause of the high mortality rate.
It’s not unlikely. The Norwegian Institute of Public Health should at least consider this, and not dismiss it.
He believes that the IPH has a tendency not to want to scare the population [hahahahaha, good one; remember Preben Aavitsland and the 2009-10 ‘Svine Flu™’ scare? You could read up on that shitshow here].
It’s important that people get the right information. Most other countries take the issue of long-term effects more seriously.
Professor Klein is quick to add that people should not to believe that the vaccine has anything to do with the increased mortality rate:
You have to remember that all infection control measures disappeared at the same time as the vaccine became available, so that far more people became infected. This has nothing to do with the vaccine. Several studies show this. [in my opinion, this is the most outrageous gaslighting/shitty ‘journalism’ I’ve seen in quite a while: the mandates were discontinued in February 2022, i.e., more than a year after the modRNA injections were rolled out; even earlier, in late Jan. 2022, IPH recommended kids get infected rather than vaxxed]
IPH: No Connection with Covid-19
Preben Aavitsland, Director of Epidemiology at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, believes that there is little evidence that late effects of Covid-19 lead to increased mortality:
We have no evidence that increased mortality in this age group has anything to do with late effects of Covid-19.
He points out that few people die in this age group, and that small changes in the number of deaths can have large percentage effects [which is true, as I mentioned above].
With such small numbers and such large proportional changes from year to year, it will be challenging to talk about an expected number of deaths.
Mortality has been in continuous decline in Norway in recent years. Now this development can be reversed.
If we instead choose to compare with a line based on the years 2015-19, the excess mortality is significantly lower [this is true because this is how excess mortality is typically calculated]. This may indicate that the decline in mortality was about to stop before the pandemic.
The IPH itself has produced a report that concludes that fatigue was common among those who contracted Covid-19 at the start of the pandemic [i.e., when all were ‘unvaccinated’, which I think is implausible]. However, IPH will not conclude that this is the cause of the high level of sick leave [‘smart’ move, IPH, because if you phrase it this way, no-one can say you gaslit them: you merely elected not to look].
We do not know to what extent this can explain the increase in sick leave and medical consultations. Other reasons may be the changes that took place in society, the education sector, and the labour market during these years [another fair point: given the extensive fear-mongering, people are now way more anxious about sniffles, granted, but a cold or the like doesn’t ‘splain the rise in GP visits…by the way: did you enquire about this? My guess is IPH didn’t, so they can’t comment—plausible deniability, anyone?].
Nor does the IPH have any plans to expand the vaccine recommendations to include larger parts of the population: ‘We are currently planning to offer it to the elderly, pregnant women, and medical risk groups in the autumn’ says Aavitsland [what a disgusting bum].
‘The population must be protected’
Aavitsland’s answers prompted researcher Richard White to react:
This shows that the long-term effects of Covid-19 are not being taken seriously by the health authorities. We need to compare today’s figures with pre-pandemic trends to understand the consequences of the current Covid-19 strategy [I actually think the IPH is spot-on in one regard: they say it’s not the after-effects of Covid-19, but they also refuse to even countenance the modRNA jabs, mostly out of less-than-enlightened self-interest, i.e., court proceedings that will follow suit if IPH ever admitted to the jabs having anything to do with this]
White believes the population must be protected from the virus by using air purifiers, rapid tests, and face masks during periods of high infection [Richard White is an idiot, clearly].
Aavitsland fails to recognise that 5m Covid-19 infections each year could have serious long-term consequences for society. ‘Covid-19 is here to stay. It’s time for us to start living with it, by recognising and mitigating the risks’, says White.
Bottom Lines
This is all so stupid, it boggles the mind. The above piece is one of the shittiest articles I’ve read in a long time.
Long-time readers know, know that Mr. Wilthil is gaslighting his readers, and the way he cites Professor Klein is particularly appalling. I’ve kept many receipts, and I’ve linked them throughout the commentary above.
What a disgrace, but, you know, the worst thing here is that the BS passing for ‘doing journalism’ here even makes Preben Aavitsland look like a reasonable, well-informed guy (which he is not).
For those who desire ‘more’ receipts, well, here goes:
I think the role of statistician Richard White is even more problematic than that of the IPH, Professor Klein, or even Preben Aavitsland. White calls for ‘air purifiers, rapid tests, and face masks’, none of which work.
Why, then, would he say something like this? My best guess is because he’s a vain individual who, while allegedly looking at the IPH’s ‘internal’ data—which isn’t public—he fails to mention the Lord Voldemort of public health, the modRNA injections.
I recall that Aavitsland himself told me in one of his emails (see the linked content above) that IPH knows exactly how many doses every person in Norway took.
Another physician who wrote a ‘study’ exonerating the modRNA jabs told me via email that it would take so long to get the ethics boards to approve cross-linking personal hospital/GP data with the vaccination register, to say nothing about associated costs.
In sum, IPH won’t look, hence there’s nothing to comment on.
NRK’s Jan-Erik Wilthil won’t research properly, hence he permits his interlocutors to spread nonsense.
And ‘the people’ are left wondering why these people won’t tell them the truth.
My ‘guess’ is—because these cowards know what they did and they refuse to bear the responsibility.
Shame on them.
Same story in Ireland and again nobody talks about it.

One theory I saw posited is that ‘they’ were expecting more of a slow kill. The current excess mortality numbers across highly vaccinated countries are too hard to ignore but the authorities are doing their best to do just that.
Remember: whatever COVID does, it affects the old more than the young. If excess mortality is higher for the young than for the old, then it's not COVID. Of course, it could be a statistical fluke, due to the small population size. I wonder if it's the same across Europe. If it *is* the same, the only question is this: "Is it due to lockdowns, to the injections, or both?" Although, it also occurs to me it could be economic. Tough economic times lead to poorer health outcomes. But hey, gotta defeat COVID, and then we'll defeat Russia(*), and after that the extraterrestrials.
(*) If that goes as well as the war on COVID, expect the Russians to march in Berlin soon. Ahem. But I think that the virus is tougher than the Russians, so chances are they won't be marching West of, say, Odessa. And then we can declare that the brave Ukrainians "defeated" Putler, just as the brilliant scientists came up with the mRNA shots that "defeated" COVID. If only those young people would stop dying. It's really annoying that they're doing that, isn't it?
