He explained: \u2018Once those poor people have been packed off, the remaining population should be healthier, there should be a period afterwards where deaths are lower than usual but that hasn\u2019t happened.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>No. 1 Cause of Excess Deaths: \u2018Ill-Defined Conditions\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>According to the Express, two of the primary causes of excess deaths were ischemic heart diseases and dementia. This, the article suggests, might be an indication that obesity and an increasingly older population are to blame for the excess mortality.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the population was altered due to a significant portion of the elderly dying from COVID in 2020, leaving a younger and supposedly healthier population, as stated by professor Coleman, those puzzle pieces don\u2019t exactly fit together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"MidProductAd\"><\/div>\n<p>What\u2019s more, the Express failed to specify that dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s were only the leading causes of death during the month of December 2022. For 2022, the No. 1 cause of excess deaths was signs and symptoms of \u201cill-defined conditions.\u201d<sup><span id=\"edn4\" data-hash=\"#ednref4\">4<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>In England, this nebulous cause of death was 36.9% above the five-year average, and in Wales, it was 30.4% above average.<sup><span id=\"edn5\" data-hash=\"#ednref5\">5<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Now, what does that remind you of? \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/takecontrol.substack.com\/p\/sads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sudden adult death syndrome<\/a>\u201d perhaps \u2014 a historically rare cause of death that suddenly skyrocketed after the COVID jabs came on the scene.<\/p>\n<p>As illustrated in the video above, during 2021 and into 2022, mainstream media kept drilling the false and incredibly offensive narrative that the unvaccinated were the enemy, that every COVID death meant they had blood on their hands and ought to be punished accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>And now, as countries where most people have been jabbed experience skyrocketing excess death rates unrelated to COVID, they feign mind-numbing ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>An experimental gene transfer injection was introduced as a vaccine and death rates continue to climb even as COVID is vanishing. What a mystery! Everyone is stumped. The scientific consensus is at a standstill. No one knows why people are dying.<\/p>\n<p>Possibly, not enough people got the jab. That\u2019s what the BBC insinuated in early 2023.<sup><span id=\"edn6\" data-hash=\"#ednref6\">6<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0No one wants to admit that medical experimentation on the public was a terrible idea. No one wants to consider the possibility that too many took the toxic jab, and that\u2019s why excess mortality is so far above norm.<\/p>\n<p>As cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough has repeatedly stated, we had a clear safety signal all the way back in February 2021, and it\u2019s only gotten more pronounced over time. Despite that, not a single safety review has been conducted, and our health authorities refuse to address the astronomical death toll.<\/p>\n<div class=\"productad\"><\/div>\n<h2>UK Has Highest COVID Jab Rate in Europe<\/h2>\n<p>In the U.K., 2020 was the deadliest year on record since 1918. More than 695,000 deaths were logged that year. The culprit at that time was COVID, or suspected COVID. But what happened next?<\/p>\n<p>The U.K. was the first European country to approve the Pfizer COVID jab and began its mass injection campaign December 8, 2020. It currently has the highest COVID-19 jab rate in all of Europe, in large part due to having \u201cthe most positive attitudes to vaccine safety in Europe,\u201d according to Statista.<sup><span id=\"edn7\" data-hash=\"#ednref7\">7<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>If the COVID shots were safe and protective, you\u2019d expect excess mortality to decline from there on, but that didn\u2019t happen. The third week of January 2021 saw a huge spike above norm, and the rate has dipped and peaked ever since.<sup><span id=\"edn8\" data-hash=\"#ednref8\">8<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0In 2022, excess deaths exceeded 650,000, which was 9% higher than 2019. So, why are so many people dying? And why are so many dying from inexplicable causes or \u201cill-defined\u201d conditions?<\/p>\n<p>In January 2023, BBC news blamed the excess death rate in 2022 on \u201cpandemic effects on health and NHS pressures.\u201d<sup><span id=\"edn9\" data-hash=\"#ednref9\">9<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Ambulance response times were more than doubled, hospital waits were long, and \u201cpeople are more likely to have heart problems and strokes in the weeks and months after catching COVID,\u201d the BBC said.<\/p>\n<p>The BBC also claimed there was \u201cno evidence of vaccine effect,\u201d and that cases of myocarditis and pericarditis were \u201ctoo rare \u2014 and mostly not fatal \u2014 to account for the excess in deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But myocarditis and pericarditis are FAR from the only side effects caused by these shots, so the fact that these conditions aren\u2019t among the top causes certainly doesn\u2019t mean that the shots are safe and aren\u2019t causing people to die prematurely.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from foolhardy medical experimentation, the excess death rates may also have something to do with the fact that hospitals around the world have been killing \u201csuspected\u201d COVID patients with lethal treatment protocols, as detailed in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/takecontrol.substack.com\/p\/how-covid-patients-died-for-profit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How COVID Patients Died for Profit<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"download-desktop\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.mercola.com\/assets\/images\/mercola\/pdf\/pdf-download-desktop.png\" width=\"222\" height=\"118\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Download this Article Before it Disappears<\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"bcr_SocialWidget3_pdfforarticlepost\" class=\"pdf-download\" href=\"https:\/\/media.mercola.com\/ImageServer\/Public\/2023\/May\/PDF\/excess-deaths-exploding-pdf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"pdf\">Download PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Massively Anomalous Data Put COVID Shots in the Crosshairs<\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-rwd\">\n<figure class=\"op-interactive aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"iFrameResizer0\" class=\" mlazyloaded\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eatkt1uI9EI?start=443&wmode=transparent&rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mlazyload-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eatkt1uI9EI?start=443&wmode=transparent&rel=0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the March 24, 2023, \u201cAsk Dr. Drew\u201d interview above, Drew interviewed Ed Dowd, author of \u201cCause Unknown.\u201d As noted by Dowd, data from the insurance industry, funeral home industry and various government databases strongly indicate that the COVID shots are killing people, primarily working age adults, many of whom had to get the shot to keep their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>While some countries are now pulling back from the shots, in the U.S., the COVID injections have been added to the childhood and adult vaccination schedules, and no one has proposed removing them.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dowd, Denmark, for example, stopped recommending COVID boosters for anyone younger than 50, as their excess deaths in 2021 and 2022 shot up to around 20% above norm. Clearly, decision-makers there connected the dots and decided it was better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Dowd goes on to review absence rates and lost worktime data<sup><span id=\"edn10\" data-hash=\"#ednref10\">10<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0for the U.S. Among full-time employees aged 25 to 54, there was a stark deviation in 2020, 2021 and 2022 from the 2002 through 2019 trend. In 2020, it was a three-standard deviation, which is reasonable considering governments were shutting down businesses. But then, in 2021, it rose to five standard deviations and in 2022, it skyrocketed to 11 standard deviations, which makes no sense whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to 2019, the absence rate for working age adults was only 3.6% higher in 2020, when lockdowns were in effect and many businesses were closed. In 2021, the absence rate was 10.7% higher than 2019, and in 2022, it was 28.6% higher. In short, in 2022, nearly one-third more employees missed days of work compared to 2019, which amounts to an enormous loss of productivity, and this at a time when there were no lockdowns in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the number of hours lost per absence, the 2022 numbers were 13 standard deviations higher than 2019, which Dowd says is \u201cunheard of.\u201d Compared to the 2019 baseline, lost worktime rates were 28.6% higher in 2020 and 2021, and then suddenly jumped to 50% in 2022. This too equates to a major loss of productivity and therefore economic losses.<\/p>\n<p>So, what is going on? In short, people are missing work due to vaccine-related sickness. As noted by Dowd, we have studies showing the shots impair your immune function, and these data show that, yes, people are getting sick and calling out from work at an unprecedented frequency and they\u2019re out sick 50% longer than normal.<\/p>\n<h2>mRNA COVID Jabs Had No Effect on Mortality<\/h2>\n<p>In related news, we now also have evidence<sup><span id=\"edn11\" data-hash=\"#ednref11\">11<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0showing the mRNA COVID jabs have no mortality benefit. As reported by Epoch Health:<sup><span id=\"edn12\" data-hash=\"#ednref12\">12<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThe Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines did not impact overall mortality, a reanalysis of clinical trial data found.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>The two vaccines, both based on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, protected against deaths from COVID-19 but that effect was offset by vaccinated trial participants being more likely to die from cardiovascular problems, Christine Stabell Benn, a health professor at the University of Southern Denmark, and other researchers reported in April in the Cell journal.<\/em><sup><span id=\"edn13\" data-hash=\"#ednref13\">13<\/span><\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>The research analyzed data from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) reported by the companies that manufacture the vaccines. \u2018In the RCTs with the longest possible blinded follow-up, mRNA vaccines had no effect on overall mortality despite protecting against some COVID-19 deaths.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Johnson & Johnson shot, which uses an adenovirus-vector, was associated with lower non-COVID-19 mortality and overall mortality, but had NO effect on COVID-19 mortality. So, in essence, all the COVID shots are useless in one way or another. The mRNA versions cause greater overall mortality, and the adenovirus-vector ones don\u2019t protect against COVID-related death. Take your pick.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, out of all the brands, AstraZeneca\u2019s adenovirus-vector shot performed the best, and that\u2019s the one that was maligned the most by health regulators and media across the world, as it was associated with lethal blood clots early on.<\/p>\n<h2>More Evidence COVID Jab Does More Harm Than Good<\/h2>\n<p>Another reanalysis of randomized COVID jab trials concluded that the shots are far more likely to land you in the hospital than COVID-19 itself. This study,<sup><span id=\"edn14\" data-hash=\"#ednref14\">14<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0which focused on serious adverse events highlighted in a World Health Organization-endorsed priority list<sup><span id=\"edn15\" data-hash=\"#ednref15\">15<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0of potential adverse events relevant to the COVID-19 shots, found Pfizer\u2019s shot was associated with an increased risk of serious adverse events at a rate of 10.1 events per 10,000.<\/p>\n<p>The rate for Moderna\u2019s jab was 15.1 events per 10,000. The researchers also stressed that this level of risk for a post-injection event was significantly greater than the risk reduction for COVID-related hospitalization, which was only 2.3 per 10,000 participants in the Pfizer trial and 6.4 per 10,000 in the Moderna trial.<\/p>\n<p>In short, for every 800 jab recipients, one person will suffer a serious injury. Meanwhile, some 5,000 must get the Pfizer jab to prevent a single COVID hospitalization. This is what risk-benefit analysis is all about \u2014 comparing and weighing the benefit against the risk \u2014 and when it comes to the mRNA COVID shots, they clearly do more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the high rate of injury, is it hard to believe that people are calling out sick from work more often or that excess mortality is skyrocketing? There\u2019s not a single piece of evidence so far that exonerates the COVID shots, yet the media want you to believe it\u2019s an inexplicable mystery.<\/p>\n<h2>AI Links COVID Deaths to Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia<\/h2>\n<p>Another piece of news that\u2019s been making the rounds is that artificial intelligence (AI) has linked COVID mortality to unresolved ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), basically, a secondary bacterial infection caused by intubation that didn\u2019t respond to treatment. As described in the abstract, published April 27, 2023, in the Journal of Clinical Investigation:<sup><span id=\"edn16\" data-hash=\"#ednref16\">16<\/span>,<span id=\"edn17\" data-hash=\"#ednref17\">17<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cWe performed a single-center prospective cohort study of 585 mechanically ventilated patients with severe pneumonia and respiratory failure, 190 of whom had COVID-19, who underwent at least one bronchoalveolar lavage [BAL].<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>Given the relatively long ICU length of stay among patients with COVID-19, we developed a machine learning approach called CarpeDiem, which groups similar ICU patient-days into clinical states based on electronic health record data.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>CarpeDiem revealed that the long ICU length of stay among patients with COVID-19 is attributable to long stays in clinical states characterized primarily by respiratory failure. While VAP was not associated with mortality overall, mortality was higher in patients with one episode of unsuccessfully treated VAP compared with successfully treated VAP (76.4% versus 17.6%, P < 0.001).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>In all patients, including those with COVID-19, CarpeDiem demonstrated that unresolving VAP was associated with transitions to clinical states associated with higher mortality.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>Conclusions: Unsuccessful treatment of VAP is associated with greater mortality. The relatively long length of stay among patients with COVID-19 is primarily due to prolonged respiratory failure, placing them at higher risk of VAP.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Use of Ventilation Is Likely the Core Problem<\/h2>\n<p>While many have argued that this study shows secondary infections are to blame for many a COVID death, Modern Discontent<sup><span id=\"edn18\" data-hash=\"#ednref18\">18<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0on Substack calls for prudence when interpreting these results, stating that upon closer scrutiny, the study doesn\u2019t offer much in terms of substantial evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, whenever you\u2019re using AI, what comes out depends on what was put in, and in this case, CarpeDiem did not supply important data variables, and this may have skewed the results. Since \u201ckey factors have been excluded from the analysis there\u2019s going to be several flaws in interpreting the correlative power of some of CarpeDiem’s results,\u201d Modern Discontent warns, adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cOverall, I\u2019ll argue that the study has serious issues in outlining their data. There\u2019s a ton missing here, including which bacteria were cultured from BAL samples.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>The timing of BAL collection is up in the air, and the study also doesn\u2019t make it clear early on how many patients actually experienced an episode of VAP, whether in the COVID group or the other groups (you have to dig into the actual body to find a reference to VAP episodes).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>The lack of organization makes the study rather difficult to read, and I won\u2019t say that I have it figured out yet … It\u2019s quite clear that many of these individuals are already in various states of severe respiratory distress and failure as noted by the clinical states and relative mortality rates, making these people more at risk of death irrespective of from SARS-COV2 or a bacterial infection …<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>It\u2019s not necessarily the secondary infection that is cause for concern, but the fact that many patients require ventilation.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>Upon ventilation, the secondary concern may be the secondary bacterial infection, although the researchers don\u2019t provide any insights into why some patients were not able to resolve their VAP episode. This is, again, an issue with the lack of data provided by the researchers themselves.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>COVID Jab Accepted Due to Ventilator-Driven Death Toll<\/h2>\n<p>Now, aside from the massively coercive PR campaign, one of the reasons that many accepted the COVID shot without much deliberation was the fact that hospitalized COVID patients were dying in droves. They didn\u2019t want to end up on a vent and die, and all the pundits said the shots would prevent you from getting seriously ill and dying.<\/p>\n<p>The problem, of course, is that mechanical ventilation should not have been a standard treatment for COVID, and some doctors realized this within a few weeks. High-flow cannulas and proning were far more effective.<sup><span id=\"edn19\" data-hash=\"#ednref19\">19<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The reason mechanical ventilation was promoted as an early intervention was not because it was helpful for the patient, but because it was thought to protect the staff from the virus. It was a strategy to reduce contagion.<sup><span id=\"edn20\" data-hash=\"#ednref20\">20<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0This was detailed in provider guidance<sup><span id=\"edn21\" data-hash=\"#ednref21\">21<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0from the World Health Organization in March 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The guidance recommended<sup><span id=\"edn22\" data-hash=\"#ednref22\">22<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0escalating treatment to mechanical ventilation as rapidly as possible to isolate the virus inside the mechanical vent machine. In other words, they put patients on a treatment they knew would likely kill them to \u201csave\u201d staff and other, presumably non-COVID, patients.<\/p>\n<p>Considering this context, blaming the death of vented patients on secondary infections may be little more than an attempt to shift blame away from hospitals that adhered to these ineffective and dangerous protocols.<\/p>\n<p>I disagree with Modern Discontent when he or she says that the primary concern is \u201cthe fact that many patients require ventilation.\u201d There\u2019s plenty of evidence that says they don\u2019t, and without ventilation, the risk of ventilator-associated secondary bacterial infection drops to zero, does it not? Secondary bacterial infections may still occur, but they won\u2019t be VAP.<\/p>\n<p>So, in conclusion, the misuse of mechanical vents created the appearance that COVID was exceptionally deadly, which in turn helped promote acceptance of the experimental COVID shots, which are now a leading cause of frequent sickness, chronic disability and excess deaths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"bcr_divfootnote\" class=\"sources-references narrow-width\">\n<h3 id=\"heading\" class=\"title link16\" data-jsid=\"sourcesReferencesBtn\">–\u00a0Sources and References<\/h3>\n<div id=\"contentrefsources\" class=\"contentrefsources\" data-jsid=\"sourcesReferences\">\n<div class=\"sources sourcesfoot\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"bcr_divReferences\" class=\"references\">\n<ul id=\"footnote-references2\">\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref1\" data-hash=\"#edn1\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">1,<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<sup><span id=\"ednref3\" data-hash=\"#edn3\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">3<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/uk\/1769290\/deaths-ONS-data-brits-covid-pandemic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Express May 11, 2023<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref2\" data-hash=\"#edn2\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">2,<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<sup><span id=\"ednref4\" data-hash=\"#edn4\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">4,<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<sup><span id=\"ednref5\" data-hash=\"#edn5\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">5<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/birthsdeathsandmarriages\/deaths\/bulletins\/monthlymortalityanalysisenglandandwales\/december2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ONS Mortality Analysis, England and Wales, December 2022<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref6\" data-hash=\"#edn6\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">6,<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<sup><span id=\"ednref9\" data-hash=\"#edn9\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">9<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/health-64209221\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC January 10, 2023<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref7\" data-hash=\"#edn7\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">7,<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<sup><span id=\"ednref8\" data-hash=\"#edn8\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">8<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1131428\/excess-deaths-in-england-and-wales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Statista Excess Deaths UK and Wales<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref10\" data-hash=\"#edn10\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">10<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/phinancetechnologies.com\/HumanityProjects\/US%20Absence%20rates%20-%20Part3.htm#Nav_Data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phineas Technologies US Absence Rates and Lost Worktime Data March 2023<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref11\" data-hash=\"#edn11\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">11,<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<sup><span id=\"ednref13\" data-hash=\"#edn13\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">13<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/Jj0Hc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cell May 19, 2023;
