COVID-19 Excess Mortality Study
A study by conducted by researchers from the Canadian nonprofit Correlation Research in the Public Interest and the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières, led by Denis Rancourt, released on July 19, 2024, analyzed excess mortality in 125 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Key findings and claims:
- The study’s methodology involved analyzing excess all-cause mortality data and its correlation with various pandemic-related interventions.
- The study argues that the major causes of excess deaths globally were due to the public health response, not the virus itself.
- Researchers estimate approximately 30.9 million excess deaths from all causes during the study period.
- The study challenges the conventional explanation that SARS-CoV-2 caused most deaths.
- The authors argue that factors like lockdowns, harmful medical interventions, and COVID-19 vaccines contributed significantly to excess mortality.
- The study claims to have found no evidence that vaccination campaigns reduced all-cause mortality.
- On the contrary, the researchers estimate that 17 million excess deaths were associated with COVID-19 vaccines.
- The researchers cite factors such as biological stress from lockdowns, medical interventions, and vaccine rollouts as primary causes of excess deaths.
