"Cause Unknown": The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022

There’s good reason Pfizer would want a board member with influence over Reuters Fact Check. Just like there’s good reason they have a board member who was recently head of the FDA. And there’s good reason for each of the people they added to their board in 2020: the outgoing CEO of the Gates Foundation (global public health relationships), and the current CEO of CocaCola (global distribution relationships). It’s natural that Pfizer would do all it can to promote and protect the highest grossing consumer product in world history.

75% of the funding for the FDA’s drug division comes directly from Pharma

It wasn’t enough, Jefferson said, to enshrine some rights in a constitution or a bill of rights. The people had to be educated, and they had to practice their skepticism... otherwise, we don’t run the government, the government runs us. – Carl Sagan

Dowd framed the issue in a way I can’t forget: “From February 2021 to March 2022, millennials experienced the equivalent of a Vietnam war, with more than 60,000 excess deaths. The Vietnam war took 12 years to kill the same number of healthy young people we’ve just seen die in 12 months.” One after another, reports from life insurance companies confirmed what Dowd was discovering,

By 2017, around 2.8 million Americans died. 2018 was about the same again. 2019, about the same again. Not surprisingly, 2020 saw a spike, smaller than you might imagine, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18-64) was 40% higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. Confirm: https://delivr.com/2fnf9 A 40% increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking, and not only for the devastated families and communities that directly experience the deaths. Even a 10% increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40%. And therein lies a story – a story that starts with obvious questions: What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living? It isn’t COVID, of course, because we know that COVID is not a significant cause of death in young people. Various stakeholders will opine about what could be causing this epidemic of unexpected sudden deaths. Though I’ll share my best conclusions, I aim most of all to help you reach your own conclusions. In the coming pages, I won’t ever ask you t...

Never seen anything like it. I played for 17 years. I don’t think I saw one person in 17 years have to come off the football pitch with breathing difficulties, clutching their heart, heart problems. But, in the last year, it’s just been unbelievable how many people, not just footballers, sports people in general – tennis players, cricketers, basketball players, just how many are just keeling over. And at some point, surely you have to say, ‘This isn’t right, this needs to be investigated.’ — Matt Le Tissier, Global Star Footballer

People and institutions hoping to suppress the information in this book will likely launch a criticism along the lines that looking at these deaths somehow disrespects the families. The exact opposite is true: Ignoring these deaths is the greatest disrespect we could ever show. These young people and their families and communities deserve to have someone care about why they died – particularly when official agencies have closed their eyes (and perhaps their hearts) to such cares.

The most cited study on the topic of sudden death in young athletes was done in 2006 at the Division of Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland. Experts there looked at sudden cardiac death in athletes under 35-years old, between the years 1966 and 2004. Confirm: https://delivr.com/2pj2x After a systematic review of the literature, the Lausanne Study determined there had been 1101 such cases – over a period of 38 years. That’s an average of about 29 per year. These days, we’d be grateful to see a single month with only 29 such events. In fact, since June 2021, there hasn’t been even one month with fewer than 29 of these sudden deaths; there were 90 reported in December 2021 alone, and about the same the month after that.

The first prospective core study with Pfizer vaccine ages 13 to 18 found that a large fraction, nearly half, were asymptomatic of myocarditis. That means a substantial number of young people in fact are sustaining heart damage and they don’t know it, their parents don’t know it, and the first manifestation of heart damage can be cardiac arrest. This can happen on the playing field with exertion—it also can happen during sleep—as well as the development of heart failure later on. — Dr. Peter McCullough, Leading Cardiologist

Among the examples of normalization is the promotion of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, or SADS. That’s “when a person under the age of 40 years old suffers a sudden death without a known cause.” In other words, when circumstances and even autopsy cannot identify a cause of death, let’s label that mystery SADS. Let’s pretend SADS is a syndrome or a health condition when it’s actually “an umbrella term to describe unexpected deaths in young people.” It’s a term, not an explanation – used when there is no explanation. It’s a category of death, not a cause of death. A person can’t be diagnosed with SADS, and SADS cannot kill people; it can only distract people.

By April of 2021 I could see and begin to test the most compelling thesis about what was causing the shocking spike in sudden deaths of healthy young people. Trained to observe shifts in trends, it was clear to me that one big change could not be ignored: mass administration of new pharmaceutical products, experimental products using novel technology with only a 28-day clinical trial testing period. Under Operation Warp Speed, these products were quickly deemed “safe and effective” by the FDA. By April 2021, about 50% of eligible Americans had been injected with the new products. There are simple facts that can be assessed and analyzed. For example, the number of Americans who took the vaccine products in 2021 can be laid alongside an increase in sudden deaths. In public health, if evidence indicates a connection between a new Pharma product and increased death, our government historically stopped promoting and administering the product. Instead, we saw history’s biggest advertising and propaganda campaign, including the use of mandate and intimidation to force people to take the new products.

If my thesis about the risks of the new vaccine products was right, then All-Cause Mortality would explode when mandates were implemented. I also formed the professional opinion that these excess deaths would soon show up in insurance company and funeral home results. Insurance companies would incur abnormal losses and funeral home companies would experience growth beyond their expectations.

in September, President Biden signed an executive order mandating COVID vaccination for all companies with over 100 employees. The fear campaign by the CDC, NIH and the Biden administration was aided by a complicit news media that’s long been captured by Big Pharma. The vaccination rate, particularly among working people, rose extremely fast in a short amount of time. I would soon confirm that being employed in 2021 was actually detrimental to your health. By the fall-winter of 2021 the threatened mandates were implemented by businesses all over America. We all saw the mainstream media demonize the unvaccinated, the effect of which was to tear families and friends apart as many who took the vaccine refused to mingle with the “infectious” unvaccinated. The country was encouraged to forget the traditional understanding of the word vaccine: an intervention that would prevent nearly everyone from getting the infection from an unvaccinated person. Since this vaccine didn’t stop infection or transmission, the old definition of vaccine was becoming less applicable by the day. As the news reported an alarming number of what they euphemistically called “breakthrough cases,” it soon became so obvious that the CDC decided to quietly change the definition of vaccine. On September 1, 2021, the definition was changed from inoculants that “produce immunity to a specific disease” to “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” Confirm: https://del...

As everyone saw that Omicron spread more easily, the perception that the vaccine prevented people from getting COVID was shattered. Literally months after it was obvious to everyone, the corporate mainstream media began to quietly report that the COVID vaccines don’t stop transmission. Still today, many people haven’t absorbed this fact, a fact known to Federal public health officials before mass vaccination even began. Confirm: https://delivr.com/2qng6 The narrative then shifted from effective to “prevents serious hospitalization and death,” a claim that to this day has never been proven, a claim that is more marketing than science. With Omicron, nature had accomplished what no amount of logic or reasoning or rational debate could do: It changed perception to match the reality that these vaccines were close to useless. CDC Director Walensky: 4 shots plus the new bivalent booster, and gets COVID. Dr Fauci: 4 shots and gets COVID. Twice. President Biden: 4 shots and gets COVID. Twice. Jill Biden: 4 shots and gets COVID. Twice. Canada’s Prime Minster: Fully boosted and gets COVID. Twice. Even the CEO of Pfizer: Fully vaccinated and gets COVID. Twice.

It should be noted that the Government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), established decades ago to detect safety signals from vaccine products, was dramatically revealing problems with the vaccines. Media and government leaders tried to dismiss VAERS out of hand, implying that anti-vaxxers were using it to submit false claims. But VAERS has nearly 1.5 million reports of adverse reactions and deaths associated with the COVID vaccines, most entered by medical professionals, emergency room staff, etc. The idea that significant numbers of these reports are fake is ludicrous. Aside from it being a Federal offense to file a false VAERS report, it’s impenetrably difficult to enter a VAERS report.

Those rare medical professionals who pointed out the reality of vaccine injuries and deaths were demonized as conspiracy theorists and threatened with loss of their jobs and licenses. And though the VAERS data was ignored, the bodies were starting to pile up, and evidence within other databases would soon be impossible to refute.

People with myocarditis are at lifetime increased risk of cardiac complications. This can have profound consequences... typically told to limit activity for several months, sometimes longer. This means no sports. Some kids are told not to carry books to school. — Dr. Venk Murthy Johns Hopkins-trained Cardiologist

From a study of VAERS commissioned by the U.S. Government: Low reporting rates preclude or slow the identification of problem drugs and vaccines that endanger public health. New surveillance methods for drug and vaccine adverse effects are needed...fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported.

there have been more adverse reactions and deaths reported to VAERS for the COVID vaccines than all other vaccines combined, over 32 years.

This would not be the first time if it happened that a vaccine that looked good in initial safety actually made people worse... the respiratory syncytial virus vaccine in children which paradoxically made the children worse.* One of the HIV vaccines that we tested several years ago actually made individuals more likely to get infected. So you can’t just go out there and give it. — Anthony Fauci on Vaccines March 2020

In the first week of January 2022 OneAmerica CEO Scott Davison made comments to a Commerce meeting that were soon picked up by some media outlets: “We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica. The data is consistent across every player in that business.” Davison said the increase in deaths represented “huge, huge numbers,” and that it wasn’t elderly people who were dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” who were employees of companies with group life insurance plans through OneAmerica. “And what we saw just in third quarter, we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic,” he said. “Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.” He added that most of the claims for deaths being filed were not classified as COVID-19 deaths. At the same time, the company was seeing an “uptick” in disability claims, at first short-term disability, and then a new increase in long-term disability claims.

After mass vaccination, however, they suddenly experienced a huge uptick in excess mortality. Simple deductive reasoning was clear: The only things that changed from 2020 to 2021 were the mandates and increasing mass vaccination. By all accounts, if the vaccines worked well, deaths and disabilities should have declined – but that’s not what we saw happening.

the rate of change in Fall 2021 was particularly striking as it coincided with the corporate mandates – and it simply wasn’t statistically possible that suicides, overdoses and deaths from delayed treatment of rapid-onset fatal cancers all spiked in that very same 3-month period. The only thing that had changed was mass vaccination forced upon the millennial generation via government and corporate mandates.

I will not get the third shot. I will not. Pfizer me once, no shame. Pfizer me twice, shame on Covid. Pfizer me three times, shame on you. You want me to get a third shot? What’s next? A fifth shot? No, thank you. — Comedian Nick Nemeroff in video he posted Confirm: https://delivr.com/279qy Confirm: https://delivr.com/2tdzd

Since I got my vaccine, I have a problem, I have a series of problems. As a result, I can’t train, I can’t play. So now I regret having taken the vaccine, but I couldn’t have known. — Champion tennis star, Jeremy Chardy

On August 17, 2022 the Society of Actuaries Research Institute (SOA) published their Group Life COVID 19 Mortality Survey Report. This report represents approximately 80% of the group life US revenues. In Table 5.7 of their report, you can see there was an event that occurred in the Third Quarter of 2021 (highlighted in red and orange) which confirmed excess mortality of 78% and 100% respectively, for two age groups (25-34 and 35-44). In March we saw 84% excess mortality into Fall 2021, and though we already knew our analysis was solid, here it was verified by SOA. It is undeniably clear that an event occurred in the Third Quarter of 2021, the same period that vaccine mandates were ordered by the Biden Administration, and enforced by corporate America. Confirm: https://delivr.com/2gmzf Note that our early analysis was based upon the CDC’s All-Cause Mortality Data, whereas the SOA data is from death claims in the Group Life Divisions of insurance companies that were surveyed. This is important because they are two different databases and two different population sets which both show the same excess death rates among millennials (ages 25-44). Some weeks later, SOA published another report that again makes my case in the clearest terms: “One of the features of 2021 was that excess mortality was worse for the working ages. We see that the impact on the U.S. population between 15 and 64 was 31.7% worse...” Confirm: https://delivr.com/28jwn The obvious explanation for the deaths...

The most stunning thing in the next chart is that mortality continues to rise throughout the year for all age groups during the least virulent variant (Omicron), during what should have been the end of the COVID Pandemic. Deductive reasoning calls out to us clearly: The sad trend is associated with the vaccination, especially for children.

We were not the only people on Earth to observe these alarming and tragic trends. On September 8, 2022, the UK Government stopped offering COVID vaccines to children under 12.

The newer untruth they promote is that the vaccine prevents severe illness and death, an unprovable myth also pushed by the US Government and Big Pharma. But there is no data to credibly support the claim, as all the fully vaccinated people whose deaths are attributed to COVID would tell you – if they could.

There is a genuine risk that the time of death will be brought forward and the patient will suffer adverse reactions to the vaccine. It may often be better not to vaccinate. — Norway Government Report on Nursing Home Residents

Anthony Fauci on New Vaccines, 1999 If you take it and then a year goes by and everybody’s fine, then you say, ‘Okay, that’s good, now let’s give it to five hundred people.’ And then a year goes by and everything’s fine, so you say, ‘Well then now let’s give it to thousands of people.’ And then you find out that it takes 12 years for all hell to break loose. And then what have you done?

For deaths to spike in any or all of the proposed categories within that exact same time period for any reason other than mass vaccination is statistically impossible. We know that hundreds of millions of doses were administered, and there is no other factor that affected nearly all working-age people simultaneously.

the healthier employed folks experienced a greater increase in rate of disability (22.6% increase) than the comparable total US population (6.6% increase). Obvious question of the day: Why are healthier folks seeing a bigger increase in the rate of their disabilities starting around May of 2021? What else was increasing at a substantial rate in mid-2021? Mass vaccination.

I have provided several vantage points from which to look at the undeniable increase in deaths among the young. I avoided reliance upon any one source, or any one idea. Rather, I checked indicators and trends of different types, from various sources, and one after another, source after source, the results of analysis are complimentary, meaning they point in the same direction.

makers are aware of everything that you now know from this book – at a minimum. At this point, they have moved beyond something we could write off as incompetence, in that they are allowing (and even forcing) mass use of products they know are harmful. At this point, powerful people in public health and Pharma are in full cover-up mode. They almost have to be, because it’s hard to imagine how they could pivot from what they’ve done to what they ought to do. At this point, the negligence is criminal. Ed Dowd

by Gavin de Becker Bestselling Author, The Gift of Fear A quick thought experiment: Imagine that thousands of healthy young Americans died suddenly, unexpectedly, mysteriously – and then kept dying at an alarming and escalating rate. (Once upon a time), that would trigger an urgent CDC inquiry to determine the cause of the deaths. Imagine attentive and curious public health officials discover the decedents had all repeatedly ingested a new and little-understood drug. Next, the officials determine to a certainty that the drug these kids took has a clear mechanism of action for causing inflammation of the heart and other cardiac injuries in some people. They learn that public health officials in other countries have seen the same thing and stopped recommending this same drug to young people. Next, some of the most senior and revered scientific advisors to the US Government publicly recommend the drug be stopped for young people. Finally, thousands of doctors around the world sign petitions and write op-eds opposing the drug for young people. Experts from Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, and Oxford universities come forward to voice their concerns. Alas, that thought experiment doesn’t require any imagination, because it’s exactly what’s occurred – except for the part about attentive and curious CDC officials rushing in to inquire. That part I had to make up. In the pre-COVID world, wouldn’t inquisitive reporters chase such a story, and wouldn’t the FDA pause administration of t...

The insurers attributed most of the 2021 excess deaths to heart and circulatory issues, neurological disorders, and stroke. It’s a coincidence, apparently, that nearly all of their deceased customers had just been injected with something known to cause heart and circulatory issues, neurological disorders, and stroke. Head-scratching by insurance industry CEOs and experts interviewed for the WSJ article was understandable, because, you know, how in the world could deaths possibly be linked to some brand new, never-before-used drug that was minimally tested, maximally rushed, mass-administered, and oh yeah, and by the way, is known to cause the very medical issues their customers were dying of?

The Theranos case should remind us that 25% of drugs approved by the FDA are later pulled from the market – so they can’t all be miracle drugs. Still, whatever a public health bureaucrat says today, the news media repeats, defends, and then enshrines as fact. Never has their lack of skepticism and curiosity about their biggest sponsors been on such colorful display as during the last two years, during which they’ve constantly promoted and parroted false Pharma claims related to new vaccines, false claims about the new Pfizer COVID treatment, false claims about Ivermectin, and every other false claim by Pharma and government. Real journalism being MIA has left us helplessly living in a world of compliance rather than science.

You now know that when CDC says “safe and effective,” that’s because CDC never met a vaccine they didn’t like. It’s a belief system – not science.

South Korea gives us a fast example among many: Prior to their wide rollout of mRNA vaccines, they had almost no COVID deaths. You see that nearly all their COVID deaths occurred after mass vaccination. Due to frequent supply problems, South Korea’s mass vaccination program really took off after the Third Quarter of 2021 when they borrowed hundreds of thousands of Pfizer doses from Israel. Their COVID deaths soon followed. That wasn’t supposed to happen.

In November 2021, President Moon began a massive campaign to push boosters: “The vaccination can be completed only after receiving the third jab.” His citizens complied, reaching more than 90% of adults fully vaccinated – the chart shows the COVID deaths that followed. The same pattern repeats all over the world, and since seeing is believing, I’ll pause here and resume in more detail after some quick sample charts... Confirm: https://delivr.com/2ag9r

Why would so many countries big and small, rich and poor, in different parts of the world, some with congested cities, some sparsely populated, cold weather or hot weather, tropical or desert, high altitude or low altitude, small islands or landlocked – why would they all see increases in COVID deaths after mass vaccination? That’s a question one imagines public health officials and media would be motivated to carefully analyze and answer. Instead, they’ve been united in keeping such facts out of public discourse. The reality displayed on the graphs you’ve seen is undeniable, cannot be unseen, and is available to anyone more interested and more industrious than media and government have been.
