Figure 6. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AMRs) over time and excess mortality in each month during the pandemic: breast cancer.

See Figure 1 for an explanation of the graphs’ axes, units, and other elements.

Annual AMRs for breast cancer in women were under the 95% lower PIs in 2020 and 2021, and increased in 2022, but without statistical significance (left side). Monthly excess mortalities appeared several months later, after the third mass vaccination, exceeding the 95% upper PIs twice in 2022 (right side).
