CDC Found Evidence COVID-19 Vaccines Caused Deaths

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials found evidence that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines caused multiple deaths before claiming that there was no evidence linking the vaccines to any deaths, The Epoch Times has learned.

CDC employees worked to track down information on reported post-vaccination deaths and learned that myocarditis—or heart inflammation, a confirmed side effect of the vaccines—was listed on death certificates and in autopsies for some of the deaths, according to an internal file obtained by The Epoch Times.

Myocarditis was also described as being caused by vaccination in a subset of the deaths.

In other cases, the CDC workers found that deaths met the agency’s definition for myocarditis, that the patients started showing symptoms within 42 days of a vaccine dose, and that the deceased displayed no virus-related symptoms. Officials say that after 42 days, a possible link between the vaccine and symptoms becomes tenuous, and they list post-vaccination deaths as unrelated if they can find any possible alternative causes.

In cases with those three features, it’s “absolutely” safe to say that the vaccines caused the deaths, Dr. Clare Craig, a British pathologist and co-chair of the Health Advisory and Recovery Team Group, told The Epoch Times in an email.

Despite the findings, most of which were made by the end of 2021, the CDC claimed that it had seen no signs linking the Moderna and Pfizer messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to any deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

CDC officials in a letter to The Epoch Times dated June 13, 2023, said that there were no deaths reported to the VAERS for which the agency determined “the available evidence” indicated Moderna or Pfizer vaccination “caused or contributed to the deaths.”

The agency also said that evidence from seven deaths from thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome following the Johnson & Johnson vaccination suggested that the vaccine led to people dying.

“That’s a scandal, where you have information like this and you continue to put out this dishonest line that there’s only seven deaths and they’re all unrelated to the mRNA vaccines,” Dr. Andrew Bostom, a heart expert based in the United States, told The Epoch Times.

The CDC is “concealing these deaths,” he said.

Covid vaccine death: “I didn’t know it was possible for a human to die so horrifically, so quickly”

A medical coder for an American hospital spoke out about what she witnessed during the covid era and the first few months of the covid vaccine era.

After the covid injection campaigns began she noticed people were coming to the hospital with life-threatening and unusual conditions. “I didn’t know it was possible for a human to die so horrifically, so quickly,” she said.

As a medical coder, Zoe transferred information included in patient medical records into a database for insurance purposes. A medical coder’s job is critical for physicians to get paid.

In this shocking interview, she unmasked the truth behind covid protocols and their relationship to the incentives behind PCR testing and covid treatments. She also mentioned at some point, the healthcare staff were warned of a fatal flaw in their ventilator settings which they knew was causing death.

When asked what she witnessed after the covid injections were administered, Zoe said: “I didn’t know it was possible for a human to die so horrifically, so quickly, before they rolled out the mRNA injections … [For] days, patients would be seizing, and no medications would stop it, and eventually they … kinda had to be put down.”

‘I Knew They Were Killing People’: Whistleblower Says COVID Hospital Protocols Led To Patient Deaths

“Hospitals became the place where people go to die instead of the place where people go to get better,” said Zowe (not her real name), a medical coder who worked for several Phoenix, Arizona, hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an emotional testimonial with Polly Tommey on Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) “Vax-Unvax” bus earlier this month in Salem, Oregon, the whistleblower exposed the practices and protocols that she believes led to patient deaths.

As a medical coder, Zowe’s job was to review patient records and assign codes for diagnoses and treatments. The codes determined how hospitals and physicians were paid.

“I call it the central intelligence of the hospital or the SimCity level view,” she said.

But Zowe said what she witnessed during the pandemic left her distraught and compelled her to speak out.

Lack of COVID patients in early pandemic

According to Zowe, hospitals were not running out of beds when the pandemic first began and the “flatten the curve” initiative was announced.

“We didn’t have patients in the hospital at that time. They slowly started to trickle in maybe after months and months,” she said.

Despite the low patient numbers, hospitals were instructed to create bed capacity by sending patients home earlier than usual. Zowe noted that this practice was a significant change from pre-pandemic protocols, as it posed a financial liability for the hospitals.

“If patients came back, we would have to pay for their care,” she explained. “It’s a Medicare rule so that was definitely very different.”

Up to Half of Excess Deaths in U.S. Nursing Homes Were Due to Lockdowns and Mitigation Measures

Up to half the excess deaths in American nursing homes were due to the impact of lockdowns and mitigation measures on frail residents rather than the virus. That’s the conclusion of epidemiologist Professor Eyal Shahar in a new analysis of a study on U.S. nursing home deaths.

The study, published in the Journal of Health Economics in 2022, found that the greater the mitigation efforts in U.S. nursing homes, the higher the death toll during the pandemic. “Those efforts not only largely failed to reduce Covid mortality, but they also added non-Covid deaths. The more they tried to mitigate, the worse the outcome was,” notes Prof. Shahar.

“These results are consistent in three consecutive periods: May through September 2020, September through December 2020, and December 2020 through April 2021. Moreover, the relationship between quality ranking and mortality became stronger over time,” he adds.

The reason was the non-Covid death toll: “The higher the ranking, the higher the number of non-Covid deaths”.

While in the first wave the harsh mitigation measures do appear to have reduced Covid deaths somewhat, this effect was “insufficient” to make-up for the non-Covid deaths associated with a higher ranking. It was also not true for later waves.

Prescription Drugs Are the Leading Cause of Death

Overtreatment with drugs kills many people, and the death rate is increasing. It is therefore strange that we have allowed this long-lasting drug pandemic to continue, and even more so because most of the drug deaths are easily preventable. 

In 2013, I estimated that our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer,1 and in 2015, that psychiatric drugs alone are also the third leading cause of death.2 However, in the US, it is commonly stated that our drugs are “only” the fourth leading cause of death.3,4 This estimate was derived from a 1998 meta-analysis of 39 US studies where monitors recorded all adverse drug reactions that occurred while the patients were in hospital, or which were the reason for hospital admission.5

This methodology clearly underestimates drug deaths. Most people who are killed by their drugs die outside hospitals, and the time people spent in hospitals was only 11 days on average in the meta-analysis.5 Moreover, the meta-analysis only included patients who died from drugs that were properly prescribed, not those who died as a result of errors in drug administration, noncompliance, overdose, or drug abuse, and not deaths where the adverse drug reaction was only possible.5 

Many people die because of errors, e.g. simultaneous use of contraindicated drugs, and many possible drug deaths are real. Moreover, most of the included studies are very old, the median publication year being 1973, and drug deaths have increased dramatically over the last 50 years. As an example, 37,309 drug deaths were reported to the FDA in 2006 and 123,927 ten years later, which is 3.3 times as many.6 

In hospital records and coroners’ reports, deaths linked to prescription drugs are often considered to be from natural or unknown causes. This misconception is particularly common for deaths caused by psychiatric drugs.2,7 Even when young patients with schizophrenia suddenly drop dead, it is called a natural death. But it is not natural to die young and it is well known that neuroleptics can cause lethal heart arrhythmias. 

Many people die from the drugs they take without raising any suspicion that it could be an adverse drug effect. Depression drugs kill many people, mainly among the elderly, because they can cause orthostatic hypotension, sedation, confusion, and dizziness. The drugs double the risk of falls and hip fractures in a dose-dependent manner,8,9 and within one year after a hip fracture, about one-fifth of the patients will have died. As elderly people often fall anyway, it is not possible to know if such deaths are drug deaths.

Another example of unrecognised drug deaths is provided by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). They have killed hundreds of thousands of people,1 mainly through heart attacks and bleeding stomach ulcers, but these deaths are unlikely to be coded as adverse drug reactions, as such deaths also occur in patients who do not take the drugs. 

The 1998 US meta-analysis estimated that 106,000 patients die every year in hospital because of adverse drug effects (a 0.32% death rate).5 A carefully done Norwegian study examined 732 deaths that occurred in a two-year period ending in 1995 at a department of internal medicine, and it found that there were 9.5 drug deaths per 1,000 patients (a 1% death rate).10 This is a much more reliable estimate, as drug deaths have increased markedly. If we apply this estimate to the US, we get 315,000 annual drug deaths in hospitals. A review of four newer studies, from 2008 to 2011, estimated that there were over 400,000 drug deaths in US hospitals.11

Drug usage is now so common that newborns in 2019 could be expected to take prescription drugs for roughly half their lives in the US.12 Moreover, polypharmacy has been increasing.12

Why are so many Children Dying Suddenly all across Europe?

Data quietly published by a host of countries across Europe reveals that excess deaths among children are still occurring at an alarming rate as we enter the spring of 2024.

The deaths cannot be blamed on COVID-19 because the data has proven the alleged virus and disease rarely harms children, if at all.

And the terrible trend only began when the European Medicines Agency extended Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) of the COVID-19 vaccines to children in the middle of Spring of 2021.

Before this. excess deaths among children among children were in negative figures. With the year 2020, the height of the alleged pandemic, seeing 726 fewer deaths than expected among children aged 0 to 14 in a host of countries across Europe, including the UK, Germany, Spain, France, Italy etc. according to EuroMOMO.

A WORLD FIRST ! AUSTRALIAN SENATE TO INVESTIGATE EXCESS DEATHS !

You would think that any Federal Government would jump at the chance to launch an inquiry to investigate why there are so many unexplained non-COVID Excess Deaths in Australia and around the world following the release of the COVID-19 “vaccines”.

But no, the Labor Party voted against Senator Ralph Babet’s motion to investigate Excess Deaths. The Albanese Labor Government obviously does not care if you live or die but, fortunately, they were defeated!

Congratulations Senator Babet!

CLICK HERE to watch a 2 minute video of the vote and announcement. It was a narrow victory – 31 to 30.

Below are the details from Senator Babet.

Finally!! Excess deaths to be investigated by the Senate

I’ve been trying repeatedly for two years and yesterday the Senate finally voted in favour of investigating excess deaths. 

For the past few years Australians have been dying in excess numbers without adequate explanation. 

Excess mortality is not just a transitory phenomenon. In 2022 we experienced our highest excess death rate since World War Two. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) provisional mortality statistics released last month confirm that to November 2023 there were 15,114 or 10% more deaths than the baseline average. 

My successful motion means that the Community Affairs References Committee will be tasked with the job of investigating the factors contributing to excess mortality. 

Submissions will be requested from the general public with public hearings expected to follow. The committee will prepare a report by 31st August 2024. 

Fifth time’s the charm! This is the fifth time I have moved a motion on excess deaths. Finally, the Senate has agreed an investigation is warranted.

US child deaths on the rise, partly blamed on ‘immune overreaction’

The CDC is reporting disturbing new statistics: deaths among US children rose in 2022.

That’s despite a record amount of money being spent on health care. The CDC doesn’t offer any thoughts as to why the increase.

Age-specific death rates from 2021 to 2022 increased for all groups aged 14 and under, according to the CDC.

For infants, the death rate increased 3.1% from 2021 to 2022.

In 2021, 543.6 infants died for every 100,000 live births. That rose to 560.4 deaths per 100,000 in 2022.

Put another way: In 2021, there were 19,920 deaths in babies under age one. In 2022, there were 20,553 deaths in babies under age one. That’s an increase of 633 deaths.

According to the CDC, there were “significant” increases in infant deaths due to “maternal complications and bacterial sepsis of newborns.”

“Bacterial sepsis” is defined as an immune system overreaction to an infection somewhere in the body, according to medical experts.

With fewer Covid-related deaths reported in 2022 than in 2020 and 2021, some experts expected death rates to improve across the board. Categories of adult deaths improved in 2022. But child death rates may not have improved because there is a near zero statistical chance of children dying of Covid in the first place, according to experts.

The CDC doesn’t discuss what could have happened in the 2021-2022 time period that might have resulted in more children dying, more newborns having immune system overreactions, and increased maternal complications.

In April of 2021, the CDC recommended Covid-19 shots for pregnant women, although there was no long term safety evidence.

Surging nervous system disorders now top cause of illness: study

Conditions affecting the nervous system — such as strokes, migraines and dementia — have surged past heart disease to become the leading cause of ill health worldwide, a major new analysis said on Friday.

More than 3.4 billion people — 43 percent of the global population — experienced a neurological condition in 2021, far more than had previously been thought, the analysis found.

The study was carried out by hundreds of researchers led by the US-based Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), which has become a global reference for health statistics.

Lead study author Jaimie Steinmetz of the IHME said the results showed that nervous system conditions are now “the world’s leading cause of overall disease burden”.

Cases of these conditions have soared by 59 percent in the last three decades, she said, with the increase mainly driven by the fact that the world’s population was ageing and growing fast.

The researchers looked at how 37 different neurological conditions affected ill health, disability and premature death across 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021.

This data was used to estimate how many years of healthy life were lost to each condition, called disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).

More than 443 million years of healthy life were lost to nervous system disorders globally in 2021, an 18-percent increase from 1990, the study found.
