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.

Senate release shows reliance on foreign evidence as U.S. officials waited for own data

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former chief White House medical adviser, leaned heavily on real-world data from Israel during internal deliberations over COVID-19 booster shots, records from his private diary released by Sen. Rand Paul show. The documents, made public on July 26, reveal that American health officials sought guidance from Israeli scientists and health officials because the United States lacked its own data showing waning vaccine immunity. The release comes after Fauci appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29, where he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times.

The diary entries spanning the summer of 2021 detail a close professional relationship between U.S. health officials and their Israeli counterparts. More than 1,100 pages reference Israeli studies, officials and vaccination statistics dozens of times, establishing Israel as the primary reference point for U.S. policy on additional vaccine doses.

Early pandemic warnings emerge

By mid-2021, Israel was the only nation with enough vaccinated citizens to track real-world vaccine performance over time. Its centralized healthcare system and national health registry provided evidence U.S. officials lacked.

On July 6, 2021, Fauci recorded concern over Israeli findings showing vaccine protection against infection dropped from roughly 94% to 64% following the spread of the Delta variant. He noted a corresponding increase in hospitalizations among vaccinated Israelis, calling it a “dramatic diminution” in protection. That same day, Fauci briefed President Joe Biden on the findings. Pfizer executives presented similar Israeli data to U.S. officials less than a week later.

Determining need for third dose

The diary records growing urgency through August 2021. Israeli officials reported protection against hospitalization had “significantly decreased,” prompting Fauci to advocate for a third dose. He acknowledged pushback from scientists like Dr. Paul Offit and Dr. Vincent Racaniello, who demanded broader evidence before recommending boosters for the general public.

“The data from the U.S.A. cohorts was suggesting that but did not definitively show it,” Fauci wrote, while adding that Israeli observational evidence was “well ahead” of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The diary indicates Israeli findings helped fill a critical information gap, allowing the administration to act before domestic data matured. Fauci concluded that waning immunity was evident across all age groups, both for infection and severe disease.

Administration’s messaging questioned

Direct communication with Israeli leaders was also documented. Fauci wrote that then-Prime Minister Naftali Bennett requested advice on Israel’s booster campaign, later providing Fauci’s cellphone number. President Biden reportedly called Fauci to ask whether the U.S. should follow Israel’s lead on a five-month booster interval.

Perhaps most significantly, Fauci acknowledged a discrepancy between public messaging and internal reality. He wrote that the administration’s decision to recommend boosters eight months after primary vaccination was based on logistics, not science. Expressing frustration with White House officials who repeatedly described the timeline as science-driven, Fauci wrote, “That is just not true.”

Historical context and review

Senator Paul argued that the diary illustrates a pattern of Fauci hiding his true positions on lab leak origins, masks and school closures. However, a review of the documents by PolitiFact found Fauci’s private stances largely matched his public comments on those issues. The entry from Jan. 26, 2020, noted the initial infection was likely not connected to the Wuhan market, but Fauci still believed the virus jumped from an animal to a human. Regarding masks, the diary contains no evidence he considered them ineffective, and public statements aligned with his private writings on school openings.

A legacy of secrecy, data scrutiny

The release of Fauci’s diary provides an unprecedented window into decision-making during a global health crisis, exposing the tension between navigating scientific uncertainty and communicating with the public. While the records confirm the administration’s reliance on foreign real-world evidence to set policy, they also demonstrate that public statements on key issues largely mirrored private deliberations. Fauci’s refusal to testify through his Fifth Amendment invocation leaves the diary as the prevailing historical account, ensuring the debate over the pandemic response continues as citizens demand transparency from those in positions of authority.
