“The age cohort from 25-44…experienced an 84 percent rise of excess mortality into the fall of 2021…[a] parabolic spike." —Edward Dowd, a former BlackRock portfolio manager who has been analyzing CDC and insurance company data on excess mortality.
My journey began really in February, March of 2021 when the vaccine program was rolled out.
I started hearing anecdotal stories about deaths, injuries. They were anecdotes. And being a former
stock picker, portfolio manager for BlackRock and having been on the sell side, that piqued my
interest. And I'm into pattern recognition. And then the mandates came along in the summer,
summer, fall of 2021. And I started to join anti-mandate rallies on Maui. And through that,
I was eventually able to meet Dr. Malone and become affiliated with him. I told him that I
suspected that something possibly was going on with the vaccines. So I told him that I would
investigate insurance company results, funeral home results, and that I would monitor them and
we'll see if anything interesting or strange would happen. And sure enough, in January of 2022,
we got the first inkling that something was very wrong, potentially. And that was One America
CEO Scott Davison was on a Chamber of Commerce call. And he wasn't aware that there was a reporter,
Margaret Menge, from City View in Indiana, following this Chamber of Commerce. And he
mentioned that in the second half of 2021, all-cause mortality among especially working-age
members had rose to a stunning 40%. And just to put some frame around that, a 10%
increase in excess mortality for this working-age group would be a once in a 200-year flood.
40% was just off the charts. And to understand why this is so significant is it was the group
life business. And group life is a specific business. It's not individual policyholders.
It's people that work for corporations. And I remember, and I'm sure many of you who have
been employed in different corporations, when you're on board with the corporation,
you sign your health care, and then you sign a death benefit that's given to you basically for
free. And it's anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000 policy. And if you're not married, you assign the
beneficiary as your parents. Or if you're married, it's your spouse. So when we all on board and do
these things, we never expect to collect. Well, in the second half of 2021, Scott Davison sent
off the warning signal. And his company, which is a $100 billion insurance company, experienced
just this incredible rise in deaths and claims. Fast forward to February, when the insurance
companies start reporting, I started to see similar results from other companies. And Dr.
Malone got me on Steve Bannon's War Room, where I started to talk about this. And I said that I
wanted to be a lightning rod for this issue, which meant I wanted people that had knowledge or
anything to contribute to help. And one person immediately contacted me that weekend.
He's coming public now, and he's going to come public on his own time frame. But his name's
Josh Sterling. He's a former number one-ranked insurance analyst on Wall Street, worked for
Bernstein, which is a very well-known research equity shop. He was on the street for seven years,
and he agreed to help me analyze the insurance results.
So this is really fascinating. And I just want to clarify, for the benefit of our viewers,
what 40 percent actually means, right?
So 40 percent is like a war. It's not something that happens in the normal course of business.
And in 2020, when COVID was raging through the country, we saw that mostly older Americans died,
mostly old. In 2021, COVID was still going on. The vaccine rollout had occurred,
but we saw a mixed shift from old to young working-age people that in 2020 weren't affected
by COVID to the same degree they were in the second half of 2021.
And so this is just an amazing statistical anomaly that just does not happen in the normal course of
business and just life.
In practical terms, there's this sort of baseline rate of death,
right? And this is like a 40 percent increase from that. That's why you're calling it a war.
To fast forward a little bit, Josh started to look at CDC data. And the CDC data,
as presented on their website, was lumped all ages. And so what he was able to do
was take the data, download it, and they did provide ages of the deaths. So he was able to
create age cohorts. And because he has actuarial training, he created a baseline from 2015 through
2019. That's how you calculate excess deaths. So you have to have a baseline from which to compare
against. And what he found and what I found with analyzing the data with them was something very
alarming. The age cohort from 25 to 44, which we call the millennials, experienced an 84 percent
rise of excess mortality into the fall of 2021, August, September, October. And the rate of
change was just dramatic. So they were running around 40, 50 percent in the summer, and then this
parabolic spike move up into the fall. And it then tailed off and settled back down. But,
you know, 84 percent rise in excess mortality for that age cohort represented about 61,000
Americans who perished from March of 21 to February of 2022. And 61,000 deaths is the same
as the Vietnam War casualties we experienced over 10 years, where 58,000 Americans died.
So something happened. I mean, my opinion is that it's the vaccines. That can be debated. We can
talk. I'd love to debate anybody. The problem is there doesn't seem to be any interest in debating
that issue, nor am I allowed to talk about it on certain platforms. That's all we're asking for,
is the ability to at least bring this tragedy to light and then discuss why it's occurring.
