Freedom Of Information Revelation
From your favourite "main stream" man on Youtube - Dr John Campbell.
I saw this guy start to question the narrative when he discovered that the Government and the MSM wasn't telling us about the importance of Vitamin D...
Too much for me to unpack so watch Dr Campbell walk you through it.

Any "newspapers" reporting this?

Readers & viewers should bear in mind he has a bit of a reputation, & is not someone we should give much credit to judging by his previous You Tube Vids. (IMO, of course).
So I doubt the credible media will take much notice of his views. I certainly won't.
Here's his Wiki page;

The trouble with these statistics is that people do not understand what they actually mean.
If you click on to your link, you will see that what the ONS means by this is that Covid was the sole reason for death listed on the Death Cert.
I have seen a fair few in my time. They almost always (on any death, not just Covid ones) list at least 1 primary cause of death. And at least 1 secondary.
So-the reason for the low numbers is this. Firstly, there would need to be no comorbidity that was relevant and pre-existing.
And secondly, that the disease did not of itself create a comorbidity. So-it did not cause massive lung damage, or a heart attack, or pneumonia or sepsis.
Whereas, in reality Covid is a major cause, even the major cause in many deaths. But, in medical terms, the sole cause in far fewer.
Firstly, this man might be a "Doctor". But that is because he studied for a doctorate in Nurse Education. He is not a medical Doctor. Which he should make abundantly clear when he is talking about medical matters.
People often have very closed minds on this sort of subject. So when people say stuff like "This is about as far as my thinking has gone" it usually means that they have only looked at the bits they want to. Sure that is not only true for people like "Dr" Campbell
His flawed thinking is simply due to the fact that he fails to understand what "pre-existing conditions" means in this particular context.
It is a Death Certificate. "Pre-existing conditions" means prior to Death. Not prior to catching Covid.
The FOI question was quite deliberately couched in such a way so as to give the answer the questioner wanted.
I am surprised that there are so many deaths where the only thing mentioned on the Death Cert is Covid. Because you are excluding the people who had all sorts of pre-existing conditions and people who had conditions directly following on from the virus. The heart attacks, the pneumonia, the lung failure, the multi-organ failure.
Of course it is often difficult to pinpoint whether deaths are effectively caused by Covid. It is often 1 of the factors. Sometimes it is not the effective (or a major) cause of death. But this completely ignores the large amount of cases where Covid brought about the cause of death from the resultant health condition.
I think the various stats the Government uses are far from ideal.
But better than this claptrap.

This is why people like Dan Wootton, and people who are share his stuff, are idiots....

Each to their own, but I have followed this chap throughout the pandemic, and listen to what he has to say. He has no agenda. He called it right with OMICRON in mid November.
I am surprised you dont rate him Tikay. Very surprised in fact.
COVID-19 misinformation
Further information: Ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic
In November 2021, Campbell said in a video that ivermectin might have been responsible for a sudden decline in COVID-19 cases in Japan. However, the drug had never been officially authorised for such use in the country—its use was merely promoted by the chair of a non-governmental medical association in Tokyo, and it has no established benefit as a COVID-19 treatment.[3] Meaghan Kall, the lead epidemiologist for COVID-19 at the UK Health Security Agency, said that Campbell was confusing causation and correlation. Further, Kall said that there was no evidence of ivermectin being used in large numbers in Japan; rather, she said it "appears this was based on anecdata on social media driving wildly damaging misinformation".[3]
In November 2021, Campbell quoted from a non-peer-reviewed journal abstract by Steven Gundry saying that mRNA vaccines might cause heart problems. Campbell said he was not sure about the claim or its quality, but did not mention the expression of concern that had been published for the abstract, saying instead that it could be "incredibly significant". The video was viewed over 2 million times within a few weeks and was used by anti-vaccination activists as support for the misinformation that COVID-19 vaccination will cause a wave of heart attacks. According to a FactCheck review, Campbell had in his video drawn attention to the poor quality of the research on which these claims were based, pointing to typos in the abstract, poor methodology, and a lack of clear data.[4]
@MAXALLY
My colours are nailed firmly to the mast of Prof Whitty, and I'm not keen on medically under-qualified people giving out advice on topics which I suspect they don't really understand fully.
As you say though, each to their own.
B0ll0cks.
Its like the guy thinks he is a missionary, sent to educate the Sky Poker Forum, and we are a tribe that has spent our whole lives, living deep in the Amazonian jungle, have no experience of civilisation, never seen a tv, read a newspaper, and cant recognise the smell of bullsh1t.
I hope Tony understands I'm just having bants here. I live about 65% of my life in Wales.
So how could it possibly be a revelation?
To argue that some of my threads have less info sounds a bit school yardish.
Of course I dont have a comment to make about your threads, because you dont start any.
I felt that his comments on the other threads he started were condescending.
Thats just my opinion.
We are all entitled to one.
I also have an opinion on people that introduce themselves as doctors, and comment on the above matters without pointing out that they are not medical doctors.
The usual purpose of this is to mislead.
It definitely wasnt a revelation, and his Wiki page is hardly an endorsement.
I promise to try and include more info in any threads I start in the future.
