The Minister of State mentioned the births, deaths and population estimates. We had considerable discussion after the Covid pandemic about the need for a Covid investigation similar to the ongoing inquiry in the UK. There was discussion about early deaths and people dying at a much younger age and from various cancers and so on. The question arose as to whether these deaths were linked to the vaccinations. What breakdown does the Minister of State have for deaths? Is there detail on cause of death or any background information that would serve in the context of a Covid inquiry and the aftermath of the pandemic?
