Report Details Eight Facts About COVID-Period Excess Mortality

CORRELATION, a research group, published a report titled “Eight pivotal facts about Covid-period excess mortality,” authored by Denis G. Rancourt, according to the organization’s website. The report, dated May 13, 2026, covers the 2020-2025 period and is also available on Zenodo, the report stated.

The report’s summary says the findings “allow one to deduce the fundamental cause” of excess mortality during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) period. Researchers with the Canada-based group have previously examined all-cause mortality data from 125 countries and found that patterns of excess death globally could not be explained by a pandemic respiratory virus, according to Children’s Health Defense ^[1].

Scale of Excess Mortality and Assigned Causes

The report’s Fact No. 1 states the scale of excess all-cause mortality during the COVID period was 0.13% of population per year. Fact No. 2 states that the excess mortality “was not caused by a spreading respiratory pathogen,” according to the report. More than half of the 17 countries analyzed in a separate study had no detectable rise in all-cause mortality after the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, until after the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, according to Children’s Health Defense ^[2].

Fact No. 3 states most COVID-period excess mortality in young adults and youth is not assigned to respiratory conditions such as COVID-19, the report said. Researchers Denis Rancourt, Joseph Hickey and Christian Linard examined all-cause mortality data in 125 nations between 2020 and 2023 and found that deaths commonly attributed to COVID-19 were actually due to other factors, including lockdowns and the vaccines themselves, according to NaturalNews.com ^[3].

Heterogeneity and Vaccine Timing

Fact No. 4 states excess mortality was “highly heterogeneous, tied to imposed measures and medical protocols” in specific jurisdictions, population groups, and locations, according to the report. An earlier analysis found that hot spots of sudden surges in all-cause mortality occurred only in specific locations in the Northern-hemisphere Western World synchronous with the March 11, 2020 declaration of a pandemic, according to Dr. Peter Breggin’s “Canary In a Covid World” ^[4].

Fact No. 5 states “the COVID-19 vaccine has harmed and killed many people,” the report said. A separate report by Correlation Research in the Public Interest estimated that COVID-19 vaccines averaged one death for every 800 injections worldwide across all age groups, according to NaturalNews.com ^[5].

Fact No. 6 states sharp peaks in excess mortality were temporally associated with rapid vaccine and booster rollouts, according to the report. Ed Dowd wrote in “Cause Unknown” that the rate of change in Fall 2021 was particularly striking as it coincided with the corporate mandates, and that the only thing that had changed was mass vaccination forced upon the millennial generation via government and corporate mandates ^[6].

Mortality Studies and Sex Disparities

Fact No. 7 states vaccination-status-discerned mortality studies “show no statistically significant mortality-averting benefit or mortality-causing liability” from COVID-19 vaccines, the report said. A study of 125 countries found “no apparent benefit” from COVID-19 vaccines, according to Children’s Health Defense ^[7].

Fact No. 8 states there is a “large systematic sex disparity” in COVID-period excess mortality from main assigned causes, including respiratory disease, according to the report. The report’s summary states that deaths were assigned to respiratory conditions, circulatory conditions, gut conditions, and accidental self-harm associated with drug and alcohol use. The report describes respiratory disease as “nominally COVID-19.”

Report’s Inference and Context

The report states that all the excess mortality of the COVID period is inferred to “arise from the many government assaults,” including fear propaganda, mandates, measures, public-health responses and medical assaults. The report states the known medical assaults included testing, facial masking, confinement, isolation, mechanical ventilation and vaccination rollouts.

A study of excess mortality in 125 countries found that the major causes of death globally stemmed from the public health establishment’s response, including mandates and lockdowns that caused severe stress, harmful medical interventions and the COVID-19 vaccines, according to Children’s Health Defense ^[8]. The organization described the study as the largest of its kind.

The report’s main lesson is that “stress was overwhelmingly the dominant underlying cause of disease and early death,” and CORRELATION is requesting support for independent research. Most excess deaths during the pandemic can be linked to biological stress brought on by coordinated and large-scale mandates and medical assaults, ranging from lockdowns to vaccination to denial of antibiotics and antivirals, according to a paper released by excess mortality researcher Denis Rancourt ^[9].

The report also states that the violent government COVID-19 campaign, like any major structural societal disruption that removes resources, mobility, human contact, social status and purpose caused the excess morbidity and mortality that occurred in all age groups.
