Five takeaways from largest pandemic excess mortality study to date
1. Vaccines caused approximately 17 million deaths and vaccine toxicity increased with age and number of
doses.
Based on their calculations and extrapolated to the world, the researchers estimated the vaccines caused
approximately 17 million deaths, confirming the results of their previous research on a smaller data set.
That means vaccines were a primary cause of death, and they found that the vaccine dose fatality rate — the
chances of dying from the vaccine — increased with age and with the number of doses.
Consistently, they found, that the more vaccine doses given, the greater the number of excess deaths. There are
outliers, Rancourt said, but their graphs consistently showed this proportionality, even for countries that also had
all-cause mortality peaks unrelated to the vaccines.
Rancourt told The Defender that they were able to essentially graph vaccine toxicity and that generally speaking,
the boosters tended to be more associated with mortality.
“They’re more toxic, they’re more dangerous,” he said.
He added:
“That is a general trend that we see in all the data is that as you have higher and higher doses, the correlation with
mortality is stronger and stronger and the peaks are more and more visibly associated. So as the assaults and all
the reasons for dying at the beginning [lockdowns, medical interventions] taper off, then it becomes the vaccines
that are more the killing agent.”
The researchers wrote that the mechanisms through which the vaccines caused death were complex.
One mechanism for lethality may be death by direct vaccine toxicity from, for example, cationic lipids.
Alternatively, the injections could cause death by inducing an immune overreaction to the spike proteins.
Rancourt said they didn’t think those were the primary causes of vaccine-induced death, particularly given that
excess deaths were so highly correlated to the boosters. Instead, he said, the initial and repeated injections likely
weakened people’s immune systems.
Extensive scientific research has shown how such stressors weaken the immune system, causing a generalized
immunosuppression that makes a person less able to fight existing or new infections of any kind, which can lead to
death when it wouldn’t have occurred under normal circumstances, he said.
They also noted that such frail people — made frailer by repeated injections — are also more likely to be sick and
therefore more infectious, spreading disease.
That meant a lot more people were getting illnesses like lung infections, Rancourt said. And people who were
getting lung infections or other illnesses because of their vaccine-induced immunosuppression could also transmit
those to unvaccinated people who may also become part of the excess mortality associated with the vaccines,
even though they are not vaccinated.
2. Pandemic interventions led to about 30.9 million deaths globally and vaccines didn’t prevent any deaths.
Using the excess all-cause mortality rate for the 93 countries that had sufficient data, the researchers calculated
the global excess deaths to be between 30.7 and 31.1 million people, which is significantly higher than the 7.03
million total number of COVID-19 deaths reported by the WHO through Feb. 11, 2024.
They created a figure, showing excess deaths as a percentage of the world population by country, with darker
colors indicating a higher percentage of the population and gray indicating places for which they had no data.

There was no single pattern of excess deaths, but there were some strong commonalities across different groups
of countries. Only one country analyzed, Greenland, had no excess mortality.
For example, 26 countries had a strong peak at the beginning of the pandemic in March to April 2020, including
places like the U.S., Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, and
other countries showed a similar pattern but with less intensity.
Eighty-eight countries showed no excess mortality at the start of the pandemic in spring 2020, but some of those
countries had excess mortality spikes before the vaccine rollout.
However, there was no evidence of the vaccine rollouts being associated with a reduction in excess deaths in any
country.
Instead, in 113 of the 121 countries with sufficient data, the researchers found a significant excess mortality peak
within a month of Jan. 1, 2022, which was temporally associated with the rollout of the boosters, and which
happened nearly simultaneously across the world.
In some countries, Rancourt said, that was more clear than in others. And sometimes there is a lot of complexity to
the data because it’s not, for example, age-discriminated.
To deal with some of that complexity, Rancourt’s team analyzed the data through several filters. For example, they
examined age-discriminated data and also correlations between excess mortality and a variety of socioeconomic
factors like sex, population-wide income and life expectancy.
Even with the non-discriminated data, there is a clear link between vaccine rollouts and excess mortality in many
countries. For example, the graph for Brazil shows there is some excess mortality leading up to the vaccine rollouts
that began at the end of 2020. Immediately following the rollouts there was a large spike in mortality.

In French Polynesia, one can see the excess mortality spike correlates to the start of the booster rollouts in mid-
2021, whereas the first rollout didn’t affect mortality.

Rancourt also emphasized that excess mortality isn’t something that happens on average across a society — it
usually happens among those who are frail enough to die, people who have compromised health — “the
vulnerable,” often the elderly — tended to be prioritized in the initial rollouts and the booster campaigns.
3. Many deaths were linked to respiratory viruses that could have been treated, but treatment was withheld.
One key issue Rancourt’s team tried to address in the paper is how to sort out the primary cause of death from the
clinical cause of death, which was often identified as a respiratory virus.
Rancourt said they did find that there was excess mortality quantitatively associated with respiratory conditions at
death, which he also noted is generally common outside of the pandemic period as well.
One likely cause behind the high number of respiratory viruses could be immune suppression from the vaccines.
Also, he said, people with respiratory infections are typically treated with antibiotics or other appropriate
interventions, but during the COVID-19 pandemic period, such treatment was restricted or completely withheld.
For example, they wrote, more than half of the deaths assigned as COVID-19 in the U.S. “could include life-
threatening co-occurring bacterial pneumonia, according to CDC [Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention] tabulations of death certificates.”
Other respiratory causes of death pervasive throughout the world, like tuberculosis or fungal infections, Rancourt
said, couldn’t simply disappear. Instead, they went untreated and likely led to excess deaths.
“Normally in a modern country, we try to identify what the main pathogens are and we treat them in a targeted way
with specific antibiotics,” Rancourt said. “We stopped doing all of that and we stopped even recognizing that there
was this complexity and that there was this natural fragility and susceptibility to lung infections in the human body.”
Instead, he added, “We just wiped all that out and thought purely in terms of this new virus and that could be the
only cause.”
There were respiratory problems associated with excess mortality, they concluded, “but we believe that you had to
have suppressed the immune systems of people in order to get them into that state,” and leave those people
untreated with interventions that would have saved them.
4. There was essentially no excess mortality before the WHO declared a pandemic.
Overall, they found that there was “essentially no excess mortality” in any of the countries analyzed before March
11, 2020, when the WHO declared a pandemic.
This supports their conclusion that deaths were not related to a pandemic virus, Rancourt told The Defender,
because all-cause mortality from a virus would not manifest suddenly and in many places once a pandemic was
declared.
Despite flawed epidemiological models claiming otherwise, the timing of deaths from a virus spread doesn’t
happen simultaneously in different societies, he said. That’s the case even if a pathogen is “popped down in all the
cities in the world,” because how mortality occurs is “extraordinarily sensitive” to different society’s social habits and
health structures.
For example, a society with an older and frailer population would have people who were infectious for longer and
who die more easily would have a different effect on mortality than in a society that was younger and healthier.
Their excess death curves would change on different timelines and with different magnitudes, Rancourt said.
Excess mortality in different places would also be affected by the size of the initial virus introduction.
He added that many researchers claim from genomic measurements that the virus was present for months before it
was announced, but there is no evidence of excess deaths during that time.
“So there should have been these rises that were just all over the place in time, but instead the virus waited for the
political announcement by the World Health Organization,” he said.
