"Cause Unknown": The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022 (Children’s Health Defense)
What is killing healthy young Americans?
2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID.
A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent.
And therein lies a story-a story that starts with obvious questions:
What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people?What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?
It isn't COVID, of course, because we know that COVID is not a significant cause of death in young people. Various stakeholders opine about what could be causing this epidemic of unexpected sudden deaths, but "CAUSE UNKNOWN" doesn't opine or speculate. The facts just are, and the math just is.
The book begins with a close look at the actual human reality behind the statistics, and when you see the people who are represented by the dry term Excess Mortality, it's difficult to accept so many unexpected sudden deaths of young athletes, known to be the healthiest among us. Similarly, when lots of healthy teenagers and young adults die in their sleep without obvious reason, collapse and die on a family outing, or fall down dead while playing sports, that all by itself raises an immediate public health concern. Or at least it used to.
Ask yourself if you recall seeing these kinds of things occurring during your own life-in junior high? In high school? In college? How many times in your life did you hear of a performer dropping dead on stage in mid-performance? Your own life experience and intuition will tell you that what you're about to see is not normal.
Or at least it wasn't normal before 2021.

A key feature of this book is the QR codes that supposedly link to original source information online, including for the numerous “sudden death” cases. The QR codes don’t (currently) work; I’m assuming since this is hot off the press, it’s a technical issue that can be corrected, but for the time being I’ve requested a refund. If they resolve it before the refund time limit then I’ll keep the book, as it’s a vital piece of evidence for future generations. Unless of course Big Brother gets elected and the Ministry of Truth starts burning books again 🙄.

So many questions post "pandemic." Like... What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? “And what we saw just in third quarter (2022), we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% [according to insurance company actuarial data] over what they were pre-pandemic,” he said. “Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.” Dear Public Health Officials: With 68% of the world’s population vaccinated and 13-billion doses administered, if the vaccines are safe and effective, how do you explain that the overwhelming number of COVID deaths –and all the highest peaks in deaths– occurred after commencement of mass vaccination? Millennials (ages 25-44) saw an acceleration of excess mortality into the second half of 2021 to new all-time highs, a stunning 84% above baseline. Why? "CDC Director Walensky: 4 shots plus the new bivalent booster, and gets COVID. Dr Fauci: 4 shots and gets COVID. Twice. President Biden: 4 shots and gets COVID. Twice. Jill Biden: 4 shots and gets COVID. Twice. Canada’s Prime Minster: Fully boosted and gets COVID. Twice. Even the CEO of Pfizer: Fully vaccinated and gets COVID. Twice." How does can that happen to the highly vaccinated with a vaccine repeatedly promised would be "safe and effective"? Ed Dowd expertly deals with these and many other questions that demand answers with full references, charts, graphs and explanations.

A brilliant book ….not conspiracy theory. Everything in it is sourced. If this amazing compilation fails to elevate the debate into mainstream, then nothing will. People are dying …the evidence is solid. The truth is being suppressed. The three stages of truth….first it is ridiculed, then violently opposed, then accepted as self-evident! (we are stage 2!)

This is an important book. The photos, graphs, and famous quotes present the information in a way that anyone (even CDC and FDA bureaucrats) can grasp. I'm not a book publishing expert, but it's styled like a "coffee table book"; a very effective way to present the material. Regarding criticism that permission was not obtained for the photos: How can you possibly know that? My friends who died would be happy that Ed published their photos and stories. They would believe that they helped others avoid a tragic and unnecessary fate. Also, for folks who need more text, try "The Gulag Archipelago". My doctor, needs a copy of Ed's book. In the spring of 2021, he said "enough shots have been given by now - we know they're safe" and "we want everyone to get the shot". That was wrong! Ed, thank you for this book. Definately a must read and a must share. Highly recommended.

A picture says a thousand words. There are graphs of data and medical studies to back up the thesis that the COVID vaccines are causing more deaths and disability overall. Also after a period of time the vaccines cause more COVID deaths. This was anticipated by the Canadian COVID Care Alliance (CCCA). The Canadian COVID Care Alliance is a group of doctors, scientists and health professionals. The CCCA did a video and a written report explaining the Pfizer trial data on the British Medical Journal (BMJ). In the 16 and older Pfizer trial more people died and got sick with the vaccine overall. But less people got sick and died with COVID. Reducing overall sickness and death overall should be end goal, not just reducing COVID sickness and death. It is kind of sneaky how the report was written with 2 of the authors from BioNTech, Pfizer's vaccine partner. Nevertheless the FDA should have not approved the 16 and older vaccine. In the 12-15 year old trial, 12 year old girl Maddie de Garay loss the use of her legs, is wheel chair bound and has to eat through a feeding tube. She was only one of a 1,005 vaccinated. She was hospitalized within 24 hours of receiving the vaccine. Her symptoms were reported as an abdominal pain. Pfizer has the least near term deaths per vaccination, than Moderna, Johnson and Johnson the most. This according analysis of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting system (VAERS) done by Steve Kirsch's Vaccine Safety Research Foundation. This means the trial data of Moderna and Johnson and Johnson is even worse or rigged more. The FDA has conflicts of interest, and protects big pharma more than the public. For example the FDA wanted 75 years for a full release of the Pfizer Comitnaty data. Comitnaty is the fully licensed version of the Pfizer vaccine. Comitnaty is not sold in the US, because that would void the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the original Pfizer vaccines. The FDA gets 75% of it's drug related funding from big pharma. The former FDA top commissioner Stephan Hahn is now working for Moderna's venture capital investor. The previous FDA commissioner is now on Pfizer's board. Former FDA deputy director Curtis Wright IV helped Purdue Pharma market the opioids as less addictive. Wright than went to work for Purdue Pharma about a year after he left the FDA. The Health/Pharmaceutical lobby is the biggest industrial lobby in the US. Medical related expenses are about 20% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It's a big racket. The information in this book is censored by big tech like Google and YouTube. They are part of marketing a new several billion dollar market. There is hope for the vaccine injured and also early treatment for COVID. Frontline COVID Critical Care (FLCCC) Alliance is a nonprofit group of physicians and scholars is a good place to start. They us...
