You seem to be implying that the vaccine was responsible for the spikes in excess mortality in 2021 and 2022. Do you have any citations for your claim?DonTomas wrote: ↑Tue Aug 30, 2022 6:27 am “ Nationally, periods of significant excess mortality have been observed from March 2020 to June 2020; from October 2020 to February 2021; and from August 2021 to November 2021. Canada experienced a new period of significant excess mortality starting in January 2022, when Omicron was the dominant variant. Excess deaths were observed across various regions of the country, including Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia.”
Interesting…
Omicron being blamed? It was supposed to be mild (highly infectious but a lightweight compared to Delta and the original strain)
Were some people harmed by the vaccine? Absolutely, I am not disputing that. What I am saying is that the number of people harmed by the vaccine was very small in comparison to those harmed by COVID, and that Canada's mortality numbers are far lower than the rest of the world (see above). Although Canada's low mortality cannot be attributed solely to the vaccine, it is likely a combination of a number of factors including (but not limited to) masks and social distancing (as shown in the CMAJ article linked below).
As you can see in the charts presented here, there is a significant correlation between excess mortality and confirmed COVID deaths in Canada:

However, I find it's generally not useful to discuss deaths caused by COVID here, as commenters here are generally quick to assert that the cause of death has been falsely attributed. To that, I would say that the same would have to be true in every other country around the world.
