He explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cNew Zealand\u2019s Ministry of Health publishes regular and detailed reports on COVID vaccine safety, including specific lists of adverse events it has received. As part of the reports, the ministry also counts<\/em>\u00a0all\u00a0<em>deaths of people who have received the jabs in the previous 21 days \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>New Zealand has a national COVID immunization registry and a national death registry, so the records and matching should largely be accurate \u2026 The ministry breaks down the deaths by age, ranging from 0-9 through over 80.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>It then compares the actual number of people who died in the three weeks after the shots to the \u2018expected\u2019 number. That figure is simply the number of deaths demographers would have expected over a random three-week period based on actuarial tables estimating mortality \u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In summary, between February 19 and April 30, 2022, people over the age of 30 had lower than normal death rates in the 21 days\u2019 post-jab, but people younger than 30 (ages 10 to 29) for some reason died at higher rates. (The lack of observed deaths in the under-10 age group is likely due to reporting lag.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy alignnone size-medium wp-image-4706738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/observed-vs-expected-deaths-600x342-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"342\" \/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4706738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/observed-vs-expected-deaths-600x342-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"342\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>According to the health ministry, the slightly elevated deaths in the under-30 group is likely due to \u201cchance.\u201d And as noted by Berenson, \u201cthe ministry does not provide any information on the causes of death in any age range, so it is impossible to determine whether myocarditis or other cardiac conditions played a major role in the higher-than-expected figures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While these data are nowhere near as alarming as some others, it\u2019s still a red flag that something odd is happening.
