Like China, Australia had a “Zero COVID” policy and imposed some of the world’s most draconian measures to protect the nation. Yet, Australia is now experiencing a historic surge in cardiac deaths.

An accurate understanding of the cause of this crisis is key to its resolution. Yet, two radically different explanations lead to very different proposals for how to resolve this growing tragedy. It’s important to get this explanation right because the fate of Australia – and much of the world – hangs in the balance.

Australian Doctors’ Explanations and Recommendations

report from the Daily Mail published in January of this year shows that Australian doctors blame the following two factors for the sudden rise in cardiac deaths:

COVID: Australian doctors believe COVID increased pre-existing risk factors. A study published in the Medical Journal of Australia found that hospitalizations of people with myocarditis and pericarditis, pulmonary embolism, heart attacks, and strokes were significantly more frequent after COVID.

Delayed Treatment: Doctors also say the dip in the number of appointments during the lockdowns meant many patients failed to get adequate treatment for symptoms of these conditions in time.

Australian doctors, the government, and corporate media simply recommend that Australians get their hearts checked now – and they continue to recommend COVID shots.

Ed Dowd: Top Data Analyst Implicates COVID Shots

However, former Blackrock Portfolio Manager Ed Dowd is not buying Australia’s explanation for the surge of cardiac deaths in 2022.  He provides a radically different explanation, pointing to the mRNA COVID shots as the most likely explanation. His recommendation – like that of a growing contingent of doctors worldwide – is to stop the COVID-19 shots immediately.

Dowd is the author of the December 2022 book “Cause Unknown”: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022. He has been interviewed by Del Bigtree, host of The Highwire, as well as Tucker Carlson and many others.

 

 

The article: Ed Dowd: COVID Shots Are Causing Youth Democide, details an interview that Dowd gave on Stephen Bannon’s War Room – Pandemic. In that interview, Dowd explained that his insurance industry expert dug into the CDC data and found shocking information related to excess mortality.

Dowd stated: “The millennial age group 25 to 44 experienced an 84% increase in excess mortality into the fall. It’s the worst ever excess mortality, I think, in history. Starting in the summer and into the fall, with the mandates and the boosters, there were 61,000 excess millennial deathsBasically, millennials experienced a Vietnam War in the second half of 2021.”

Dowd went on to say that he thinks this data is the smoking gun; the COVID-19 injections are causing excess mortality in all age groups. With this shocking data, Dowd labeled this “democide,” stating, “So the government, through the mandates, has killed people.

Something Is Going On In Australia

Dowd reported that Scott Davison, an insurance executive at One America, stated that a 10% excess mortality in young folks is a once-in-a-200-year flood. “All of Australia is at 18% and it doesn’t look like it’s leveling off. It looks like it’s continuing to rise.  Something is going on in Australia that needs to be explained. 18% excess mortality is a disaster, but we have crickets over there in their national media.” Dowd added “So Australia, we dropped the data. You guys can use it for whatever you want to do.”

Dowd displayed  the following chart showing excess 2020-2022 deaths in Australia for all age groups.

He pointed out that in 2020, Australia had about -2% excess mortality.

In 2021, it rose to +4%, and in 2022, it soared to +18%.

On December 15, 2022, Dowd joined Del Bigtree on The HighWire  to report his findings.

Dowd said: “We have supposed-miracle vaccines, and the virus is now less virulent, correct? So Omicron is a little more than a cold with some complications. But unfortunately, I think if you’re vaccinated, there’s lots of complications. And we know all the other health problems that are associated with the vaccination. So, what’s going on in Australia — it’s very curious. At the very least, I don’t hear Australian health authorities talking about 18% excess mortality. And it’s across all age groups.

Dowd went on to say “blue is the year 2020, black is 2021, and green is the eye-opening 2022 data. And as you can see, it’s primarily affecting those 75 and up. The 75-84 demographic is suffering from 23.5% excess mortality and (it’s) 21.3% for the 85+ age group.”

Growing Global Calls To Stop COVID Shots

Dr. Peter McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist who published the first guidance for the medical treatment of ambulatory patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. He is an internationally recognized leader in the medical response to the COVID-19 disaster.

In Jonathan Otto’s October 25 online docuseries Restoring Heart Health: Overcoming The Effects of Myocarditis and the Deadly Jab, Dr. McCullough said what shocked him is that the hearts of everyone who got the COVID shots were damaged. He said, “So, no wonder some people are developing effort intolerance, various cardiovascular syndromes, sudden cardiac death even in the absence of myocarditis. This does not look good at all.”

Dr. McCullough also said: “The official pandemic narrative that has been fiercely guarded by establishment media and social media censors is completely crumbling. That narrative included false statements regarding asymptomatic spread, reliance on lockdown, and masks – which obviously didn’t work – the suppression of early treatment, and mass promotion of vaccines that failed. And now here we are, almost in complete free fall. People don’t want these vaccines. The vaccines should be pulled off the market. They clearly are not solving the problem.”
