A new peer-reviewed study conducted by Dutch researchers suggests that COVID-19 vaccines and containment policies may have actually increased excess mortality in Western countries.
The study, published in BMJ Public Health, analyzed excess all-cause deaths in 47 Western countries from 2020 to 2022 and found that 87% of the countries experienced excess mortality in 2020, which increased to 91% in 2022.
The researchers noted that excess mortality includes not only deaths directly caused by the virus but also deaths related to the indirect effects of containment measures and vaccination.
The study found that the highest number of excess deaths, 1,256,942, occurred in 2021, the year when containment measures were implemented alongside experimental vaccination.
In 2020, when citizens primarily faced the virus itself and limited mobility rights, there were 1,033,122 excess deaths. In 2022, after most containment protocols had been lifted and vaccine uptake declined, there were 808,392 excess deaths.
The researchers used a linear regression estimate model based on historical death data from 2015 to 2019 to determine the expected number of deaths under normal conditions. They concluded that excess mortality has remained high in the Western world for three consecutive years despite the implementation of COVID-19 containment measures and vaccines.
The study also highlighted the risks associated with COVID-19 vaccines. Previous comparisons between established flu vaccines and mRNA vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna have shown that the latter carries a higher risk of serious adverse reactions. COVID-19 vaccines have been linked to various ailments such as heart disease, blood clots, hemorrhages, gut issues, thromboses, myocarditis, pericarditis, and autoimmune diseases.
The researchers emphasized that both medical professionals and citizens have reported serious injuries and deaths following vaccination in official databases. They further argued that the danger posed by the vaccines is even more concerning considering that the threat of the virus itself was overblown. The infection fatality rate for those over 60 was reportedly 0.03%, and for those over 70, it was 0.07%. Individuals under 19 faced an infection fatality rate of 0.0003%.
The study also noted that the supposed health safety protocols, such as lockdowns, school closures, and travel restrictions, had adverse indirect effects, including economic damage, limited access to education and healthcare, food insecurity, mental health challenges, and increased morbidity and mortality from other causes.
In light of these findings, the researchers recommended policymakers and government officials thoroughly investigate the underlying causes of persistent excess mortality and evaluate their health crisis policies.
