Excess Deaths Are Still High: What’s Causing It, and Why Aren’t We Talking About It?

The ongoing pandemic has produced not just health concerns but also startling data that deserves closer scrutiny. One such observation comes from Dr. John Campbell, a retired nurse educator and well-respected figure in the medical community. As per his findings, a mere 0.7% of deaths in the United Kingdom can be attributed directly to COVID-19.

Yet, a more intriguing discovery is the high percentage of excess deaths in the UK and several other countries. This excess mortality cannot be ascribed to COVID, which raises significant questions about their cause. These aren’t just isolated observations. Comprehensive data from Australia as of April 2023 indicates an excess mortality of approximately 16%. Meanwhile, Canada seems to depict a return to baseline, albeit with potential data inconsistencies, while New Zealand reports an 8% rise.

What’s even more compelling is the breakdown by age group in England. Data presented by Dr. Campbell showcases a startling increase in excess deaths among younger age groups, particularly as vaccine programs ramped up in 2021. Age groups between 25 to 49 have maintained a high excess death rate throughout 2021, 2022, and into 2023. The causative factors for these deaths aren’t entirely clear. While heart failure has seen a rise, which could be attributed to both the SARS-CoV-2 and the spike protein from the vaccine, other respiratory diseases haven’t followed suit. Strangely, there’s been an unexpected rise in liver disease-related deaths throughout the pandemic.

It’s not just the UK that has been impacted. Data from Eurostat, the official statistical office of the European Union, reports varying figures of excess mortality in various European countries. While some countries like Austria, with a high vaccination rate, report a whopping 13.175% excess death rate, Eastern European nations such as Romania and Bulgaria, with a lower vaccination rate, interestingly, have fewer deaths than anticipated.

More vaccinated countries:

• Finland – 12.4% more deaths than expected.

• Ireland – 12.16% more deaths than expected.

• Austria – 13.175% more deaths than expected.

Less vaccinated countries:

• Romania – 12% fewer deaths than expected.

• Bulgaria – 8.74% fewer deaths than expected.

• Hungary – 2% fewer deaths than expected.

“This [fewer deaths] is what we would expect everywhere because during the pandemic, the people that died were the people that were most vulnerable, and therefore they died a few years earlier than they would have done, and they’re not dying now. So we would expect lower death rates globally everywhere at the moment. But we’re seeing the exact opposite of that,” remarked Dr. John Campbell.

This disparity and the startlingly high excess mortality in certain nations warrant global attention. However, according to Dr. Campbell, there’s a noticeable absence of response from mainstream media and politicians. As we grapple with these unexpected findings, the most pressing question remains: What’s causing these excess deaths, and why aren’t we talking more about it?
