World data evaluation shows death toll did not rise, effectiveness of measures questioned

As time passes since COVID’s debut, statistics reveal new information about the pandemic outcomes on the world population. A recently released worldwide study, conducted by the Canadian non-profit Correlation Research in the Public Interest and the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières, found a lack of excess deaths between the years 2020 to 2023.

In a 521-page study, data from 2.7 billion people in 125 countries was reviewed. This sample accounts for approximately 35% of the world’s population. Study authors Denis Rancourt, Joseph Hickey, and Christian Linard report the death toll that occurred is related to interventions, lockdowns, and vaccines.

The research also states that mortality after COVID-19 injections reached a new high. According to the study, approximately 57% of the deaths were due to COVID-19 vaccines.

“We conclude that nothing special would have occurred in terms of mortality had a pandemic not been declared and had the declaration not been acted upon,” the study says.

This is different than what has been reported by others.

“Life expectancy declined in 84% of countries and territories during this pandemic, demonstrating the devastating potential impacts of novel pathogens,” says Dr. Austin E. Schumacher, Acting Assistant Professor of Health Metrics Sciences at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, who co-authored Global Burden of Disease study for Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. His study found that though mortality increased during the pandemic, it declined for children.
