A Republican lawmaker in Maine sounded the alarm over the state’s alarming “silent epidemic” of an 18% increase in excess deaths since 2020, but Democrat colleagues ignored her warnings and stymied her effort to investigate.
Rep. Heidi Sampson (R-Alfred) said the state’s Democratic lawmakers “shrugged their shoulders” when she proposed investigating the increase in sudden deaths in 2020 among young and middle-aged adults in Maine with no known previous illness.
After growing increasingly concerned about the data showing a rise in excess during the COVID plandemic, Sampson tried to bring the issue to the Maine House of Representatives in March.
Sampson compiled 2015-2022 Maine all-cause mortality data analyzed by a statistician, and warned her colleagues that Maine has since 2020 seen close to an 18% increase in excess deaths among 25- to 64-year-olds.
