This topic has legs and is going to run. Insurance companies are already screaming. People not of normal dying age are dying in excess numbers.
COVID deaths (which mainly affect much older people) can be distinguished from non-natural deaths (including suicides due to lockdowns). That leaves natural (disease) deaths other than COVID; these hit excess in 2021 rather than 2020. Suggests vaccines rather than COVID.
