Proof At Last That Excess Deaths Are Caused By Covid Vaccines

An article published by Sage, one of the top five academic publishers, has just been released, not just noting the curious phenomenon of excess mortality and how it happens to correlate with the COVID-19 vaccination programme, but pretty much proving that the jab is involved, by explaining that governments already admit to COVID-19 vaccine deaths, but also – and more satisfyingly – ruling out the typical alternative explanations of COVID-19 itself and the lockdowns via an ecological study focused on four Australian regions.

This is my Australian excess deaths paper I’ve mentioned a few times, kind of inspired by the curious words of officials in 2021 about Australian hospitals being full, even in areas largely untouched by COVID-19, and later data indicating that the jab is causing a heap of cardiovascular issues and other adverse effects here.

There are basically two arguments in the article, one quick and cheap, the other far more satisfying. The short argument is that since health officials have admitted to COVID-19 vaccine deaths – deaths which were of course unexpected and premature – it is obvious that the vaccines are contributing to our excess mortality problem. This is indisputable. We can argue over the amount. The bigger argument is my makeshift ecological study.

Four of Australia’s states and territories are the focus here. They all experienced excess deaths during the pandemic. I noticed that, no doubt partly because of the country’s relative isolation and natural oceanic borders, in the regions of Queensland, Western Australia (WA), South Australia and the Northern Territory (NT), deaths from COVID-19 only became a (relatively) big deal from 2022 onwards. For example, there were no COVID-19 deaths in the NT in 2020, the crucial pandemic year before the vaccines arrived, and a whopping two COVID-19 deaths in 2021, comprising a very small proportion of overall excess deaths, with double digit COVID-19 deaths in the following years (see table below). WA even saw COVID-19 deaths decrease from 2020 to zero in 2021, before shooting up in 2022, when everyone was supposed to be ‘protected’ by the vaccines. Weird, huh?

Also for these four regions, unlike the situation in Sydney and Melbourne, any lockdowns tended to be very short and still allowed for medical appointments. Interestingly, like the rest of the country, pretty much everyone received their COVID-19 vaccines in 2021. Remember all those studies on excess mortality, with some (including my own on Europe) wondering if the jab might be playing a role? Those who find that possibility too unpalatable tend to point the finger at COVID-19 itself or the lockdowns. Blaming COVID-19 is risky because we would have to have been undercounting COVID-19 deaths, by a lot, when the evidence indicates the opposite, that COVID-19 deaths have been hyped up, partly because it was very common practice to call any death around a positive case a ‘COVID-19 death’ (also see our FOI request on whether a COVID-19 death occurred in a jabbed or unjabbed person). And blaming the lockdowns is just plain weird, since the same people that gave us the jab, often mandating it, locked us down. Either way, they’d be responsible for these deaths.

But that’s all kind of moot here, because for these Australian regions we can rule out COVID-19 and the lockdowns. It’s the jabs. If these regions also saw excess deaths rise along with mass vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccines, and they didn’t really have a COVID-19 problem or the sort of lockdowns that can cause widespread health crises, it is obvious that the jab – already acknowledged by Australian and other governments as causing deaths – is playing a significant role. I go through quite a lot of the evidence indicating that this hypothesis is not just possible and plausible, but probable – much of which my readers would already be familiar with:

• The exaggerated effectiveness and safety estimates of the jabs in observational studies and clinical trials. More people are noticing. Related research reveals that most of the jabs didn’t show a COVID-19 mortality benefit in their own trials, highlighting the impact of the healthy vaccinee effect (which means these exaggerations are greater), and indicates that there may have been fraud in the ‘Pfizer trial’.

• Negative effectiveness. Sounds utterly absurd and yet there is quite a bit of evidence that the jabs might actually increase the chance of COVID-19 infection/hospitalisation/death, and it’s even been discussed in major journals.

• Cardiovascular side-effects. Too much to go into, but the notion that they are all transient is ludicrous. Remember, even the myocarditis risks alone could outweigh the benefits in healthy children. Maybe beyond? Let’s also not forget that Pfizer is still trying to figure out “if COMIRNATY is safe and effective, and if there is a myocarditis/pericarditis association that should be noted”, God bless ‘em.

• Cancer. There’s been studies on cancers being up in the jabbed and the jab being linked to certain cancers. And where experts realise that there are mechanistic links between cancer and COVID-19, I note that the same links exist between cancer and COVID-19 vaccines. Recall also that the DNA contamination conspiracy theory turned out to be true, which increases the chance of oncogenicity. There is even some suspicion that such research is being suppressed.

• It is beyond obvious that COVID-19 vaccine side-effects are undercounted. High-profile doctors have spoken out about this and a recent study just about confirmed it.

• The highly influential Watson et al. study, absurdly claiming that the jabs saved tens of millions of lives in just one year, has been thoroughly debunked directly (with the critique reaching the FDA and the US Senate), and indirectly (and the attached comments show this one didn’t go far enough). Several other modelling studies have also been debunked.

• Both the American and Australian governments have acknowledged that the COVID-19 vaccines have killed people. Pretty much the same in the UK. No wonder authorities are starting to dial back vaccine recommendations, even acknowledging that for some the risks outweigh the benefits. It also looks very suspicious that the UK government apparently refused to publish data that could link COVID-19 vaccine to excess deaths.

• Back to the curious phenomenon of (especially post-pandemic) excess deaths (when we should actually see negative excess mortality), there’s quite a bit to catch up on. As early as 2022 experts and reporters were discussing the oddity, with some daring to wonder if the jabs are to blame. Suspicions continued to be raised in 2023, with some noticing that the jabbed were at times overrepresented in COVID-19 and total deaths. In 2024 even an article in a Lancet journal was touching on the issue. Governments and scholars were looking into it, and I also weighed in, noting that the lesser vaccinated countries in Europe appeared to have less of an issue. I addressed the sole published critique of that article in 2025, remarking: “Given the size, power and funding of the group of researchers arguing for the effectiveness and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines, the paucity and poor quality of their responses to more critical research is astonishing. We should expect better.”

• There’s more. Maybe that’s why even a US government under Biden, with RFK Jr not yet involved, acknowledged that they got so much wrong on the pandemic, including on the vaccines.

So there you have it. And I think I’ve found the same phenomenon (excess deaths alongside COVID-19 vaccination, with the COVID-19 and lockdown excuses being untenable) in other parts of the world, like the US and Asia, but that will have to wait for another day.

TL;DR: Four Australian regions saw excess deaths rising alongside COVID-19 vaccine use in 2021, while not having a big COVID-19 or lockdown problem. This adds to the increasing evidence that the jabs are a really bad idea.

Extra: Impressed? Think this is really important? Then please share this. I am being heavily censored, despite my legal victories against the mandates and multiple publications on the jabs in proper medical journals. I rely on you to get the word out. As we saw with the story of Lorraine Knott, it could really make a difference.
