What is the code for Vaccine Induced Deaths that the ABS uses after agreement was reached in a meeting with WHO representative? FOI has it blanked out.

Hello Geoff. I think the codes aren't ABS codes but rather WHO international codes, International Classification for Disease ICD-10. 10 is for the 10th revision. I see there is an 11th edition coming. I found from UK ONS the code for vaccine caused deaths is

ICD-10 U12.9

see:

The ABS uses these codes to group various diseases that they provide separate mortality stats for.

Thanks very much Andrew. Interesting that ABS went to so much trouble to redact that number from FOIs.

Geoff, just saw your article on the codes and looked up where the ABS “account” for them it’s pretty much what Andrew said, it’s under U12 in their spreadsheets right below covid deaths in “Cause of Death 2021”, They don’t list it as U12.9 but it is there in 2021 under U12. However, there were only 15 deaths coded to this category which is not that different to the ATAGI data. Interestingly, they also have codes for other vaccinations causing death in the main section which deals with “medical deaths” and these codes have zero against them.

So the score for vaccine deaths in 2021 is 15-0 with the undisputed champion being the so called “safe and effective covid vaccine”.

Posting comment here in the hope you see it as your comments are only open for paid subscribers.

Thanks very much. It would be useful to see whether there was a directive to conceal the U12.9 code to reduce the number of GPs, Hospital Registrars etc. using it. It appears Coroners might not have known about the new code either.

Unfortunately I don’t know any GPs or health professionals that would talk openly about it. The ones I do know just stick to the safe and effective script.

It is interesting they redacted it. You would think the code would be public knowledge. I’d have to check but I’m pretty sure the code in the their “cause of death” spreadsheets with all the other codes. There is even a specific code for death from adverse reaction from covid vaccine from memory. I could look it up for you if you like but from memory the deaths that were officially attributed to covid vaccine weren’t a big number mostly less than <=3 per state (from memory), so you can’t just add them up. They don’t give the exact number when the value is small as it could be used with other data to identify the exact person/s.
