Facts

  • According to a study of pandemic-era excess deaths across 47 Western countries, there were about 1M excess deaths in 2020, 1.2M in 2021, and 800K in 2022. Excess deaths occurred in 43 of the countries in 2022, up from 41 in 2020.1
  • The Dutch study, published in the journal BMJ Public Health, said that besides COVID deaths, the 'unprecedented' number of excess deaths could potentially be linked to vaccines and other pandemic 'health strategies.'2
  • The study noted that the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial had a '36% higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group,' or 18 per 10K vaccinated people, while Moderna had a 6% increased chance, or 7.1 per 10K.1
  • Serious adverse events by definition result in either 'death,' are 'life-threatening,' lead to hospitalization, or cause 'persistent/significant disability/incapacity.' Serious vaccine side-effects included ischaemic stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and brain hemorrhage.1
  • Emphasized was the finding that excess deaths peaked in 2021 at 1.26M, when both the vaccines and lockdowns were present. There were 1.03M in 2020, pre-vaccine, and 800K in 2022, when health measures ended in most places.3
  • The study's authors didn't make any definitive claims about causality but rather recommended further investigation, including into the effect delayed healthcare had on excess mortality, most notably for cancer treatment.4

Narratives

  • Narrative A, as provided by The Conversation. While the authors of this study suggest COVID vaccines could've caused these excess deaths there's data to turn this on its ear. A study from the UK's Office for National Statistics showed that the death rate from April 2021 to May 2023 was higher in the unvaccinated, even when COVID deaths were excluded. There are numerous other reasons why excess deaths have increased in the post-COVID years.
  • Narrative B, as provided by YouTube. It's possible that lockdowns and vaccines did not deliver as promised while both were coming to prominence in 2021. Western leaders are still not being truthful about the efficacy and safety of the jab, which is why they, more than anyone, must heed the recommendations of the study's authors. Much research is indeed needed, and this is a troubling finding.
