Study: Excess deaths may be linked to COVID-19 vaccines

A peer-reviewed Dutch study published this week has suggested a link between COVID-19 vaccines and excess deaths around the world.

The study

Researchers, led by Dr. Saskia Mostert of the Pediatric Oncology Department at Emma Children's Hospital in Amsterdam, looked at excess death data in 47 Western countries for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022. They found that there were over three million excess deaths in total, with the highest number of excess deaths recorded in 2021 at 1,256,942. That was the year that countries throughout the world introduced COVID-19 vaccines and imposed restrictions such as lockdowns, social distancing, and mask mandates.

"Although Covid-19 vaccines were provided to guard civilians from suffering morbidity and mortality by the Covid-19 virus, suspected adverse events have been documented as well . . . Both medical professionals and citizens have reported serious injuries and deaths following vaccination to various official databases in the Western World," wrote the researchers.

They also referenced an analysis of the phase III randomized clinical trial for Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine, which showed that vaccinated participants were 36% more likely to suffer a serious adverse event.

The Dutch study has not been reported by any legacy news outlets.

Studies call for investigations

Previous studies have called for investigations into the association between COVID-19 vaccinations and excess deaths. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) study in 2022, for example, discovered a 25% surge in cardiac events among young, healthy Israelis in 2021. The findings further showed that the increase was entirely associated with the COVID-19 shots.

Last year, German researchers published a study in which they observed that “both excess mortality and the number of stillbirths increased with increased vaccinations.” They “strongly recommended” investigations into the “unknown side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines.”

Deaths no longer matter?

Nevertheless, investigations into a link between the COVID-19 vaccines and excess deaths have not been conducted by any public health authorities. This fact seemed to bother the Dutch researchers, who wrote:

During the pandemic, it was emphasised by politicians and the media on a daily basis that every COVID-19 death mattered and every life deserved protection through containment measures and COVID-19 vaccines. In the aftermath of the pandemic, the same morale should apply. Every death needs to be acknowledged and accounted for, irrespective of its origin.

Demands for investigations increase

Public pressure has been mounting on governments to properly investigate the link between COVID-19 vaccines and the excess deaths happening in their countries. In March, a bipartisan group of British lawmakers wrote a letter to UK Health Secretary Victoria Atkins asking her to disclose any data supporting the government’s claim that there is no link between the shots and excess deaths.

“If those data do indeed exist, please share them; if thorough investigations have already ruled out such a link, please share the relevant reports,” read the letter. “There is no place here for blind faith.”

Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) has been bewildered as to why premature deaths from cardiac events among Brits under 75 — which had been declining for almost sixty years — have been increasing since 2020 in a clear trend reversal.
