What Caused the Covid ‘Pandemic’? Rancourt and Colleagues Describe a Plague of Preventable Harm

Infectious disease outbreaks (local), epidemics (regional) and pandemics (global) are phenomena identified when disease incidence rates occur over the expected “baseline” rate. All tend to start in a specific geographical location, usually spreading via routes of human contact and travel, in observable patterns.

Pandemics have been described since the days of Hippocrates, who lived from 460BC to 370BC. Scholars have not agreed on what caused the first recorded pandemic, The Plague of Athens, which lasted for four years from 430BC to 426BC. The most likely contenders are smallpox, salmonella typhus and plague (yersinia pestis). Throughout history, wars and political upheaval significantly exacerbated the spread of disease.

Since those times, modern living conditions, and perhaps some elements of modern medicine, have combined to make the threat of infectious diseases in healthy populations negligible. Obviously this is not the case for populations living in poverty. Given that over half of the world’s population live on less than $7 a day, this makes deprivation a health issue for most of humanity today.

A well established key to improving health is a stable and flourishing society. Yet under the false guise of noble causes, the United Nations and other global organisations are designing and implementing programs which will unseat our democracies and concentrate asset ownership and wealth into the hands of a powerful and unelected minority, simultaneously expanding poverty across the globe. Covid containment measures ensured the biggest upward wealth transfer in human history and the plan is a continued trajectory of accumulated power and wealth.

The beneficiaries of this business model, and those on their payroll, claimed that a deadly virus arose out of Wuhan in China and the only useful protection was forced implementation of draconian measures contradicting prior established pandemic recommendations. It is imperative that their narrative be questioned and critically analysed.

Death data by location and cause was first officially collected in the UK in 1662, and to this day remains one of the most important epidemiological tools, allowing for analysis of all cause mortality and life expectancy. Cause of death, certified by a licensed physician, is documented on all death certificates and collated by government departments such as the Mortality Collection in New Zealand. We know that this system was corrupted during the covid era, most comprehensively exposed by Massachusetts engineer John Beaudoin, but also seen elsewhere such as the 2021 review of death certificates in Florida and a 2022 freedom of information response from the UK’s Office of National Statistics.

Consistent with these exposures, is the work of physicists Professor Denis Rancourt and Dr Joseph Hickey, and biochemist Professor Christian Linard, who published a paper in July 2024, Spatiotemporal variation of excess all-cause mortality in the world (125 countries) during the Covid period 2020-2023 regarding socio economic factors and public-health and medical interventions. The paper is 521 pages long, offering plausible mechanisms for harm caused to populations. They provide detailed evidence that three primary causes of excess mortality during and since the covid pandemic are:

1. Biological and psychological stress caused by profound societal and economic disruptions such as stay-at-home orders (lockdowns);
2. Inappropriate medical interventions such as use of mechanical ventilators, dangerous drugs, and denial of antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infection;
3. Covid “vaccine” injection rollouts, including repeated rollouts on the same populations.

The authors argue that patterns of mortality are inconsistent with a viral respiratory pandemic. These patterns include the immediate surge in excess mortality as soon as the WHO’s Director General Tedros declared a pandemic on 11 March 2020 (and not before); and the variation in mortality across both international and local borders, which supports the reality that policies were the cause of harm.

There is no evidence for an association between the vaccine rollouts and decreased excess mortality, as should have been seen with an effective and safe vaccine,  and in fact many countries, including New Zealand, only experienced excess mortality after the vaccine rollouts. Whilst New Zealand has been touted as having had an effective lockdown, other nations with loose land borders and no resources to enforce an efficient lockdown, also had no excess mortality during the “pandemic” era, such as India, Philippines, Namibia and Thailand.

The authors state:

Lead author Denis Rancourt has given many interviews, most recently at Brave New Normal. Co-author Joseph Hickey gave an interview with Michael Nevradakis at Children’s Health Defense. Both eloquently describe their research and the related corruption from medical journals refusing to publish their work because it contradicts the narrative that a dangerous virus caused a pandemic.
