Analysis of All-Cause Mortality Rates and the Absence of a Spreading Pathogen
Rancourt emphasised that his conclusions are based on hard data, specifically all-cause mortality rates, which have been collected by nations for over a century and are considered reliable.
According to the data, there was excess mortality before the vaccines were rolled out, contradicting the claim that mortality only started with the vaccine rollout. However, after analysing the temporal and spatial dependence of all-cause mortality Rancourt found that there was no spread of a pathogen, as the mortality rates did not increase in neighbouring regions following hotspots of death.
The first paper Rancourt published was on 2 June 2020; it concluded that there was no spread of a pathogen. The data showed that mortality rates were often limited within jurisdictional borders, such as county or country borders, suggesting that local government policies and hospital environments played a significant role in determining deaths.
“This is institutions and governments killing people by the measures that they’re applying, mostly in hospitals and so on. I was very clear. I spelt that out in that publication right away and showed the data that demonstrated that,” he said.
Rancourt identified northern Italy, specifically the Milan region, and New York City as areas where the use of mechanical ventilators was particularly heavy and likely contributed to the high mortality rates.
“In Milan, they actually told people, don’t just stay at home, come straight into the hospital, we’ll save you,” he said. “And they developed an improvement, they considered, where they could put two people on one ventilator. And they were just putting everybody on ventilators.”
“The ventilators are accompanied with sedation. Sedation makes your breathing even worse. And the ventilators are known to be strongly associated with developing pneumonia. And at the same time, there was a hesitancy to treat pneumonias because everyone was saying, ‘Oh, it’s viral, it’s viral. You’re being irresponsible as a [medical doctor] or a hospital if you’re over-treating with antibiotics’. So, there was withdrawal of antibiotics and these very dangerous techniques and sedation and so on. And there were also some experimental drugs that were being used that were shown to be very, very deadly.”
In contrast, Germany did not adopt these treatment methods and did not experience excess deaths at the beginning of 2020.
There were many different causes of excess death during the covid era, not everyone was doing the same thing, Rancourt said. One of the important causes of death is severe treatment of elderly and frail people including isolation, disruption of their routine and removal of their usual care.
“Isolating them is extremely deadly. And removing their usual routine, their usual way that you give them nourishment and also hydrate them, and the care that they normally would have. All of that was disrupted tremendously and they were isolated and treated as a danger to themselves, between themselves and so on. So that certainly would have contributed enormously to deaths [of] the frail people,” he said.
Adding, “What was done in care homes and hospitals to elderly and sick people was absolutely horrendous. It was a death machine, basically.”
Rancourt believes that the actions taken in care homes and hospitals were not just malfeasance but a deliberate decision to roll out a “military campaign” to implement vaccines, regardless of the science or consequences.
