There have been a few papers in the medical journals on the curious problem of excess deaths persisting beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, most notably Mostert et al., which openly wondered if the COVID-19 vaccines are playing a role (and which made the mainstream media). As promised, I have gone that one little step further, showing that European excess deaths do indeed correlate significantly with COVID-19 vaccination. Appearing in Bulgarian Medicine, published by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and Arts (Bulgaria being more open to such research as will be made clear), my little article covers:
- Growing concerns, including in the medical literature and with official inquiries, on excess mortality.
- “The percentage of people in these [European] countries receiving at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine was positively correlated with excess mortality, for every month between March 2023 and January 2024. The correlations ranged from weak to moderate. Almost all the values were statistically significant.”
- “A slightly stronger correlation between COVID-19 vaccine doses administered and excess mortality was found… Almost all the values were statistically significant.”
- In a surprise to no critic of the COVID-19 vaccines: “For the least vaccinated countries, such as Bulgaria and Romania, excess mortality appears to be less of an issue.” While medical journals in Western countries were not interested in my paper, a medical journal from Bulgaria, one of the most unvaccinated countries in Europe, somehow was.
- I explain that while this is not definitive proof, COVID-19 vaccination should be seen as a potential culprit behind this ‘great mystery’, further summarising some of the most significant medical journal articles with evidence pointing a finger at the jabs, such as JECP4, Thacker, Fraiman et al., Benn et al., and Raethke et al. Also mentioned is Tindle, which led to my widely-shared article in AJGP on COVID-19 vaccine negative effectiveness.
- I end by stating that “as we attempt to discover the causes for persisting excess mortality, whether responses to the COVID-19 pandemic may be contributors to this phenomenon – such as mass vaccination and lockdowns – should be seriously considered”.

Expect those unwilling to question the mainstream narratives around the jabs to hysterically screech, “But correlation is not causation!”, in 3, 2, 1…
Yes, correlation doesn’t prove causation. But it also doesn’t prove no causation. Correlation helps us figure out if we should investigate further. It feels like they have gone so far with this that correlation now apparently means “there is 100% no causation”. Except of course if the jabs are correlated with positive outcomes. Then it most definitely is causation, and not some bias or data manipulation.

I am completely aghast. Surely there has to be some mistake..?
/sarc!
Brilliant article.
If only we had some in the MSM with an ounce of integrity.
I’ve just forwarded it to Devi Sridhar at the Guardian.
That’ll do the trick.
Africa – largely unquacked and unpoisoned. Death rates far below stabbinated ‘Western’ states. Why didn’t the Africans die in millions? Of course Bulgaria and Romania would be the same. Why didn’t the Amish die off or the homeless? This data has been available since Q1 2021. And yes, correlation is very often, causation. I threw a rock. It broke the window. There is a correlation, and my arm tossing the rock is the causation of the broken window.
Try the BBC …. I’m sure they’ll be all over it, like flies on a turd.
Correlation apparently proves causation if there is a correlation between the two fairly fictitious concepts of “covid tests” and “covid deaths”.
They did become nastier though the vaccinated. Just less imaginative and more sharp and aggressive after the injections. I hoped it would wear off but it it doesn’t.
I’m a bit late to this article & there are only got 5 comments including mine ! It is the biggest scandal since humans first drew breath and it’s being allowed to slip quietly into the distance !!!!!….
What was done cannot be undone and those that accepted the jabs don’t want to know that they are doomed – they have stuck their heads in the sand and are resolutely staying in that position. No one wants to admit they were wrong, tricked, bamboozled.
Yes; maybe it was published quite late yesterday. However, as time passes, it will be easier to avoid any direct cause and effect with all the other causes. But one of them could be the loss of confidence and less use of other products. After all, they had a pop at free advertising for the likes of vaccination against meningitis at the start of school term on the BBC new programme the other day.
Surely the Government isn’t giving us mis-information?
The whole point of science is to follow the evidence, even if its inconvenient. Why aren’t they?
Presumably because they know the answer and don’t want us to know. Except we do.
They follow the science. Bones to Kirk: “It’s science Jim, but not as we know it.”
Questions.
Correlation between two variables and causal relationship.
Isn’t the keyword there, ‘variable’?
Is vaccination a variable for the purpose of this principle?
One of the reasons for the principle is, is A causing B, or is B causing A? (Other reasons, mere coincidence, something other is causing A or B.)
Let’s see. Vaccination could cause deaths; but could deaths cause vaccination? No reverse correlation. Vaccination cannot be caused by some other or unknown thing; deaths could.
The second part of the principle is: if there is a causal relationship, there must be correlation. This is what the Climatrons have encountered – poor dears. Whilst global temperatures and CO2 emissions showed correlation between 1979 and the mid-1990s (See: told you so.) by the end of the century, no correlation. (Gloom) That has not stopped them of course.
So is there correlation between vaccinations and excess deaths? Yes. Any external data to show some other cause? No.
But there is data showing vaccine damage to many people. Myo- and pericarditis are outcomes of vaccination, as are blood clots and potential heart damage. There is no known cause as to why these effects wear off, they don’t. Once damage is done it is not undone. PM data shows this but is not available in many cases, because the cause of death is “natural causes”, partly because most of the patients are old. But the increase in deaths in the young (very marked), should immediately cause investigation, PM, previous history etc. but it doesn’t. Doctors have been told to ignore it by HMG and even the BMA, probably to get the recent pay increases!
