Columbia University researchers have found that the true number of people in the USA and other territories who have died as a result of getting one of the experimental Covid-19 injections is significantly higher than the official figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC claims that just over 20,000 people have died following Covid-19 vaccination, but Columbia’s underreporting factor estimates that 20 times that number, or around 400,000 deaths, is far more accurate.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), currently shows around 20,000 deaths, and nearly 103,000 hospitalisations have been reported as adverse reactions to the Covid-19 injections in the USA and other territories.
The problem with VAERS is that it only captures a very small percentage – as little as one percent – of vaccine injuries and deaths. Because of this, scientists often use multipliers to estimate the true count.
An abstract of this latest study on Covid-19 injection deaths explains that “accurate estimates of Covid-19 vaccine-induced severe adverse event and death rates are critical for risk-benefit ratio analyses of vaccination and boosters against SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in different age groups.”
For the research, the Columbia scientists used the regional variation in vaccination rates to predict all-cause mortality and non-covid deaths in subsequent time periods. This was based on two independent, publicly available datasets from the United States and Europe.
They found that more than six weeks after injection, Covid-19 jabs had a negative correlation with mortality. Within five weeks, however, the jabs predicted all-cause mortality in nearly every age group with an age-related temporal pattern consistent with the U.S. vaccine roll-out.
Comparing the study’s estimated vaccine fatality rate with the CDC reported rate, the researchers concluded VAERS deaths are underreported by a factor of 20, which is ‘consistent with known VAERS under-ascertainment bias. On this basis the scientists declared that up to 187,000 people may have died due to the Covid-19 vaccines between February and August 2021 in the USA alone.
The Columbia University team also concluded that the risks associated with Covid-19 injections, including the boosters, “outweigh the benefits in children, young adults and older adults with low occupational risk or previous coronavirus exposure.”
They further emphasised that there is an “urgent need to identify, develop and disseminate diagnostics and treatments for life-altering vaccine injuries.”
However, further analysis conducted by Steve Kirsch and Jessica Rose suggests that this new study may still be underreporting the true number of deaths following Covid-19 vaccination, after his team found that the true death toll due to the injections could be 41 times higher than what has been reported to VAERS. This would bring the total number of deaths to 820,000.
But a more recent calculation performed by Wayne at VAERS Analysis suggests the actual underreporting rate could be as high as 44.64 bring the true number of deaths following Covid-19 vaccination to 893,000.
CMS data on the slide below (relevant data circled), shows 52,030 deaths occurring within 14 days of injection in a population of 27,431,845 Medicare beneficiaries. This equates to a death rate of 189 per hundred thousand (or 1,890 per million):
It must be noted that these are people receiving any dose, not just “fully vaccinated” people with 2 doses.
Since Medicare is only available to the 65+ age group (thought there are a few exceptions which we will consider negligible), we will need to pull data for the same age group out of VAERS.
If we do a query on US VAERS reports for the 65+ age range and for deaths within 14 days of the shot, we get 2,369 deaths. To get the total number of people vaccinated with at least one dose in this age group, we need to download the data from this CDC page– https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccination-demographic:
Once we open the downloaded csv file, we then add together the number of vaccinations shown for both the 65-74 yrs age group and the 75+ yrs age group to come up with 55,949,565.
Finally, we take the deaths and divide by the number of vaccinations (2,369/55,949,565), resulting in a death rate of 42.34 deaths per million. Comparing the CMS death rate of 1,890/million to the VAERS death rate, we see that the ratio is 1,890/42.34, which gives us an Under-Reporting Factor for VAERS of 44.64. This corresponds to a true reporting rate in VAERS of 2.2% of all adverse events.
