World population trends, 2025

“Covid” was a disease the symptoms of which were indistinguishable from ordinary influenza, and remarkably, as Covid deaths escalated during those years, influenza deaths virtually disappeared. Far be it from me to comment on obvious connections, but it appears to me that

  1. SARS-CoV-2, the supposed virus that supposedly caused Covid, does not exist.
  2. The “pandemic,” which was announced to the world on 3/11/2020, was not real, and had to be sustained by means of illusion, misdirection, and fakery.
  3. One of the keys to maintaining the illusion of a pandemic was real and spreading was the idea of the “asymptomatic carrier”, that is, a person who carries the disease, spreads it, but carries no symptoms.
  4. The key to identifying asymptomatic carriers was the PCR test. Anthony Fauci said point blankly that we must “test, test test”, for the disease, most likely knowing in his black and evil heart that he was merely describing the means by which an illusory pandemic would spread.

So it is that I say that on this date I happen to know the exact number of pandemic deaths: Zero. Nobody died of Covid, but testing and certification were done based on the PCR, so that anyone who died within 45 days of a Covid test was considered to have died of Covid. I just asked AI about Covid deaths, as I wanted to be lied to good and hard, and learned that worldwide, as of today, 7,099,773 people died, and in the US, 1,226,890.

Macrotrends is a company that does work for the United Nations on population trends, and I wrote about their work in 2022, when CDC was telling us that people were dying at very high rates. Macrotrend data said otherwise, as noted in the following table:

The “Death Rate” is the number of people dying each year per 1,000, and the growth rate refers to the death rate, which from 2018-2022 declined from 1.22% to 1.09%. Odd to see such a thing during a pandemic, but Macrotrends offers the following caveat:

NOTE: All 2020 and later data are UN projections and DO NOT include any impacts of the COVID-19 virus.

That’s really odd, that a company whose only job is to monitor population trends opts to exclude the largest factor affecting population trends at a time when that factor was at its peak. This requires some analysis, and my take is this: Macrotrends was allowed to go about its business, but outside power sources forced them to add that disclaimer.

More recent Macrotrend data does indeed show death peaks and the like in 2021 and 2022, and indeed I am aware of certain spikes in certain types of death: Those for elderly people suffering from pneumonia and influenza who were placed on ventilators. Survival rate after ventilation was 2.8% for people over 65 in New York City. The following is from AI, which I am finding a source that repeats all the lies of our times with such ease that I think of it now as even less honest than Wikipedia:

Early in the pandemic, reports from New York City indicated high mortality rates among patients placed on ventilators, with figures cited around 76.4% for patients aged 18 to 65 and 97.2% for those over 65. Other sources noted that 80% or more of coronavirus patients on ventilators in New York City had died. These statistics reflect the severity of illness in patients requiring mechanical ventilation rather than proving that ventilation caused death.

No mention by AI of the fact that hospital attendants were scared of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and were willy nilly putting people on ventilation even when an oxygen clip would serve as well. So indeed, we did experience death spikes during Covid, and just as AI refused to correlate those spikes to anything other than Covid, I refuse to accommodate AI by admitting that the deaths were caused by Covid at all.

I have said from early in the pandemic, which I knew to be fake from the beginning, that the ultimate goal in all of the draconian measures taken (lockdowns, distancing, quarantines, masking, outlawing public gatherings), all discretionary and completely unfounded in any science, was to instill fear and frustration in people. They wanted to create such pressure for return to normal life that on announcement of vaccines, there would be a WalMart-like Black Friday stampede to inoculate.

How many people fell for it? Most, I would say, but we don’t know, really. They lie about everything, so that too probably. This introduces me, however, to a study on world population trends published in July of 2025 indicating that growth is coming to a halt now, as we speak, here in 2025. I tend to trust this study, which uses the least squares technique in regression analysis to find a good fit for a line, historically in this case. Take a look at the table that is based on this analysis:

What they are demonstrating here is that prior to projecting future trends, they are able to do the same for the past. That’s critical, as accurate models of the past are needed before we can offer any faith on future projections. Based on these trends, we are now told that world population is at its peak, right now. Projections for world population growth (shrinkage), are as follow:

  • 2000: 6.09 billion

  • 2025: 7.07 billion

  • 2030: 7.01 billion

  • 2035: 6.86 billion

  • 2040: 6.64 billion

  • 2045: 6.34 billion

Prior to now predictions of world population trends have been all over the chart, from 28 billion people by 2150,to a medium variant of 11.5 billion by 2075 to a low variant of 7 billion by 2050 before a decline would naturally set in. No one saw this coming.

What caused it? Dr. Robert McAllister, who is the heavily credentialed guy who compiled the analysis above, offers up the usual suspects, such as lower fertility in wealthy countries, urbanization and availability of family planning. He does not mention the vaccines.

But I do.

By the way, AI tells me that the population of the planet today, September 16, 2025, is 8,245,570,647, which throws everything above out the window. I don’t trust AI, and I don’t know what the world population is, but in the long list of sources I value in finding this information, I place AI at #33, right behind Bill Nye, the Science Guy, 32nd. I suspect nobody knows other than in broad mathematical and statistical analyses, and I also know we are lied to every day about every matter of importance, so I suggest you take this article and chuck it. Truth is, I don’t know anything about world population. The numbers are larger than my limited brain can fathom.

Aren’t you glad you read this far?

  1. Mark, good column. Have you considered that world population is also greatly exaggerated? I don’t know if I believe it, but some suggest population is closer to 2 billion.

    In any case I believe population indeed is likely at its peak. There is so much pressure on new parents (money, vaccines, the future?) that it kills off the idea of having a large family for most. I am frankly surprised, and also heartened, that people continue to raise children in this empire of lies.

  2. Do you remember.. some of the stats we were getting early on, like from NYC, later changed radically. Ie, if trends continued, spread and mortality would be much worse than it ended up being, in other places. Now that could be false numbers, or it could be that the early treatment recommendations, such as vents, were much more draconian, and docs there had had less time to absorb what was going on, and were hit harder by the first wave of uncertainty and fear, etc. But it could also be that they really were seeing a spike in patients admitted – not with covid, but maybe people detoxing from some localized agent. That would be a way to drive genuine panic in many docs, and convince them it was really real, unlike anything they’d ever seen, and spread hysteria through their networks of docs they know (in addition to those who were assets and mouthpieces.) I would not be surprised if something like that was done there and maybe some other cities, on the principle that the mixture of something real mixed with the misdirection to covid, would make it all much more persuasive and insure the whole medical complex got fully on board.

I’m aware there was a spike around that time, and attributed most of it to ventilators – nurses and doctors were so spooked by the alleged virus that the were intubating everyone who came in with respiratory symptoms. Survival rate for those over 65 was said to be 2.8%. But in terms of actual numbers, I do not know.

        So all I can say is that I do not have access to the real numbers. I do not know who to trust, but certainly not CDC.

            Official U.S. mortality data is primarily collected and disseminated by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) through the National Vital Statistics System, which captures death information from all causes across every U.S. county. This system produces timely and accurate data on approximately 2.8 million deaths annually, used for monitoring public health, determining life expectancy, and tracking causes of death.

When I first encountered Microtrends, they were discussing the US population as if it was steady, and while not predicable, not experiencing any crisis or pandemic. This would include your 2019 blip, which Microtrends does not see. Then they included this:

                      NOTE: All 2020 and later data are UN projections and DO NOT include any impacts of the COVID-19 virus.

                      That makes no sense. Their one job is to track population, and rather than doing that opted to exclude the largest factor affecting population trends at a time when that factor was at its peak. That boggles the mind.

                    10. Wrote about this issue in my last article so will just copy and paste here. It’s due to population size.

                      How large increases in death go unnoticed

                      Because of the enormous size of the US population today, which is 335 million (Note 1), it is simply not possible for the average person to personally detect increases in death, even very large increases like we had in 2020—especially when these increases in death only occurred in limited regions for a limited period of time.

                      To illustrate that point, in the first death spike in Spring 2020, in the New York City mass casualty event, deaths increased an incredible 100%—550% in 25 counties in the New York City metropolitan area, according to the official records, killing 50,000 more people than usual over 8 weeks. The population of those 25 counties is about 20 million—meaning an extra 1 in 400 people died there in the 8-week spike. While that is undoubtedly a lot of people, it means that even someone with a large circle of 400 friends and family in the NYC metro area would probably detect little or no change in the usual number of deaths among them.

      2. If I understand you correctly, I think we’re in agreement.. my memory was, that the way things played out early on, did not fit the epidemiology for viral spread. It was too localized, too sudden of a huge spike (rather than a slow curve up) – leading the rest of the country to assume it would soon be upon them too with the same effect. (And presumably greatly freaking out the docs who were right in the thick of it, in a situation where they had no personal experience and no good models to draw on – unless they were clever enough to see through what they were being told by higher experts, and figured out themselves what they were actually dealing with.)

        That’s why I said it better fit the epidemiology (from what I recall) of some local agent being spread somehow. I offered “fake data” as a possible alternative explanation only, not a conclusion. From what you say of the link data, it sounds like it supports the point I was trying to make.

        1. People are always getting sick, so the power of suggestion, plus a few extra stressors is enough to induce a pandemonium, or pandemic. Same thing happened during the black plague, you can read historical accounts, they sound very similar to COVID except they may have been using a lot of real poison in the wells to sicken the population. Today it can be done invisibly, not only through the 5G boogeyman, but through light deprivation, white noise (?) etc. Because the military has been doing biological weapons experiments for over 100 years, no doubt they have learned a lot over the years what it takes to trigger a mass illness/psychosis.

    https://correlation-canada.org/covid-excess-mortality-125-countries/
    This is an analysis of worldwide mortality data, showing that it is incompatible to a ‘pandemic’.
    Numbers of people dying increased at the same time, even across continents, after media declared it a ‘pandemic’ – but not in countries where the government didn’t deem it a pandemic, even if those were right next to countries who did.
    Countries that did not proclaim a pandemic did not have increased mortality (this is a big tell), even if they are next to countries who did cry wolf. This is true even for regions inside of countries, like certain states in US, France.
    A disease wouldn’t stop at political boundaries.
    Each country had very high variability in their mortality (a contagious disease would work in waves).
    There was no reduction in mortality observed after vaccinations began. Indeed there was a marked increase in mortality in 110 countries after they started vaccinating, especially in young people.
    14 countries of the world had no increased mortality until they started vaccinating.
    32 countries with high vaccination coverage had markedly increased mortality all the way through to mid-2023 (which was the scope of the study.. it’s probably still elevated).

    They calculated/estimated that all in all (until mid-2023) the covid measures killed 30.9 million people, of which 17 million died by the ‘vaccines’.

    Factoring in the amount of lives ‘lost’ due to infertility is of course impossible when only looking at overall mortality, but personally I also believe this will be a massive fallout. Most people will only discover this when they try to become pregnant and fail. Most of those will never make the connection to the vaccines. Pure evil.

I used it extensively in researching the supposed deaths of so many rocks strs during the 60s and 70s, like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin and scores of others. Only one or two were there, say, Ricky Nelson. However, SSDI is voluntary, like VAERS, and ergo compromised. I come from a family of six, and five are dead. Two of the dead, brothers, are not there.

          Also, Macrotrends was apparently doing its own thing, its job, tracking population and trends, and took note of no change in the US during Covid where you say that there was a Spanish Flu afoot in 2019. Macrotrends missed that, and there was entered the words I quote above, that the outfit decided to ignore Covid. Makes no sense. Do I trust Macrotrends? Why would I? You say they got their data from CDC? More the worse!

          Beyond that, I’m not following. I know that in New York City and northern Italy there was a blip in April of 2020, which might be the “worst since Spanish Flu” event you point to … FWIW, Spanish Flu is said to have taken 50-100 million, and not the usual suspects, but rather younger people. As it happened in the wake of WWI, therein lies the tie-in, but since the days of Rosenau, when they discovered it was not contagious, they have not studied it.

          You’re hard to follow other than your faith in CDC. I do not share it. Said it many times now.

          1. The contents of the official mortality database are what they are, no matter what anyone thinks of them. I report on and summarize those contents and draw logical conclusions from them. Period.

            Once again, I have been examining the issue of death data fakery for 2 years, and have written about the possibility several times. Every time I comment on it, people respond as if I am so naive, I never considered it. That is because no one reads anymore.

            I gave you the link to my suggestions for research to identify data fakery, made 2 years ago. Since then, still, no one has come forward with evidence. How long should we wait before considering the possibility that 1.3 million people actually were murdered?

            Regardless, if 1.3 million US deaths were faked in the official records during the Covid years, including 487k in 2020 alone, we are in the midst of the most massive criminal conspiracy to alter government records in US history–and it is therefore a HUGE story, almost as big a story as the murder of 1.3 million people.

          2. I’m just interested in mortality data, Mark–that’s all. You don’t have any better data, and that is the problem.

            If you want, you can continue to ignore the official records that indicate a mass murder occurred during Covid, because your gut tells you it didn’t happen. You know those crazy psychopaths running the world–sure, they talk big about depopulation, but they would never actually secretly murder us. I guess you are that trusting, but me, not so much.

          3. Search capabilities on Macrotrends doesn’t even begin to compare with WONDER. There is no way Macrotrends independently documents death certs issued at the county level, IMO–and they don’t seem to track much, from what I’ve seen, and use some strange criteria, as you’ve pointed out. It’s just a fraction of the info available in WONDER. They most likely get their info from periodic WONDER downloads.

            There is a LOT of descriptive info on death certs including age, gender, place of death, date, multiple causes of death, underlying cause of death, etc., etc.
