NOTE TO THE READER
You might be inspired to seek out a fact checking site to test or refute some information in this book that’s hard to believe. Fair enough. Before you blindly rely upon corporate fact checkers, however, use the QR code to confirm that the man who started Reuters Fact Check is also on the Board of Pfizer – while simultaneously serving as Chairman of the Reuters Foundation that oversees their fact checking operation. Conflicted and circular relationships like this are common among powerful people; often, such relationships are the way a person became powerful in the first place.
Also confirm that Pharma companies sponsor the overwhelming majority of TV news programs.
Also confirm that the government-funded British Broadcasting Corporation created The Trusted News Initiative (TNI), a coalition of Reuters, The Washington Post, the Canadian and Australian Broadcasting Corporations, the European Broadcasting Union, Associated Press, Google, YouTube, Facebook/Meta, Microsoft and Twitter, all “pledged to work together totackle harmful misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines.”
TNI member companies censor what they label as misinformation, while promoting and elevating information from the CDC, the WHO and Big Pharma.
QR codes throughout these pages will take you to original source material so that you can confirm each report is real, each statistic well-sourced, each story all too true. Perhaps by the end of this book, you will come to see that much of the information reaching you day to day is carefully crafted by the media. The word media means “in the middle of and between.” Indeed, the news media stands in the middleof and between you and people in power. Only when you know this can you decide for yourself what’s promotion, what’s propaganda, what’s marketing, and what is truth.
FOREWORD
by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Among the world’s towering financial titans is BlackRock, a company with a bigger economy than every country on Earth except the U.S. and China. They manage $10 trillion in assets. In 2002, BlackRock recruited the brilliant Wall Street careerist Edward Dowd, and soon promoted him to serve as Managing Director. Turns out BlackRock made a very good bet on Ed Dowd: The Growth Fund he managed started at $2 billion; by the time he left BlackRock it was $14 billion.
His work with BlackRock required a keen ability to understand markets, pick stocks, analyze statistics, and identify trends.
In 2021, Dowd found himself withdrawing from Wall Street to study an entirely new kind of trend: the expanding and tragic epidemic of sudden deaths among healthy young people.
Every country dutifully maintains statistics on what’s called All-Cause Mortality – deaths from any cause whatsoever. Whether accidents, disease, suicide, homicide, natural disaster or unexplained deaths, there is a long-established and fairly consistent baseline of All-Cause Mortality, year over year. Anything above that baseline is considered Excess Death. In 2021, it was Ed Dowd –not the public health officials that citizens rely upon– but Dowd who brought international attention to the fact that healthy working-age Americans were dying, and dying suddenly, at an alarming rate not seen before. These excess deaths were not anticipated by insurance actuaries, and weren’t attributed to COVID.
Dowd framed the issue in a way I can’t forget:
“From February 2021 to March 2022, millennials experienced the equivalent of a Vietnam war, with more than 60,000 excess deaths. The Vietnam war took 12 years to kill the same number of healthy young people we’ve just seen die in 12 months.”
One after another, reports from life insurance companies confirmed what Dowd was discovering, and in early 2022, he convened a group of insurance industry executives to explore it further. Later, he recruited expert analysts from around the world, and drawing on data from various official sources in many countries, he and his growing team committed to study the topic from every available vantage point.
In this unusual book, Ed Dowd proves an undeniable and urgent reality, laid out with facts that can be confirmed by any reader, point by point, page by page. He has helped us all understand something that many powerful people want to deny – and would get away with denying were it not for his skills and integrity.
Anyone who appreciates truth and accuracy owes Ed Dowd their gratitude. He certainly has mine.

FIRST, IS IT TRUE?
Before 2021, none of us had ever seen anything like what you have just seen, and certainly never to this extent. If you were surprised there were so many confirmed news reports about healthy young athletes collapsing and dying in mid-play, please note that what you just saw is only a small sampling. There are many hundreds more of these tragedies confirmed in this book’s Compendium. And the Compendium itself is only a small sampling. And every one of the hundreds of people whose deaths are memorialized at the end of this book died before completing 45 years.
At this point, I ask that only one thing be fully accepted as fact: That these deaths are real, are happening. And don’t focus yet on why.
People and institutions hoping to suppress the information in this book will likely launch a criticism along the lines that looking at these deaths somehow disrespects the families. The exact opposite is true: Ignoring these deaths is the greatest disrespect we could ever show. These young people and their families and communities deserve to have someone care about why they died – particularly when official agencies have closed their eyes (and perhaps their hearts) to such cares.
Every single health official in America knows the obvious: Healthy young people don’t just stop living for no reason. The deaths in this book that happened at professional sports events are doubly unusual because those athletes died despite the immediate on-site presence of emergency medical responders who are trained and equipped to resuscitate people. But since 2021, so many could not be resuscitated; they died on the spot, arrived at the hospital already dead. That is both tragic and highly unusual.
Those seeking to discount the facts in this book might say there have always been cases of professional athletes dying from cardiac arrest during competition. And that’s true. But has it ever been this often? Or so many victims this young?
The most cited study on the topic of sudden death in young athletes was done in 2006 at the Division of Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland. Experts there looked at sudden cardiac death in athletes under 35-years old, between the years 1966 and 2004.
After a systematic review of the literature, the Lausanne Study determined there had been 1101 such cases – over a period of 38 years. That’s an average of about 29 per year. These days, we’d be grateful to see even a single month with only 29 such events. In fact, since June 2021, there hasn’t been even one month with fewer than 29 such deaths; there were 90 reported in December 2021 alone, and about the same the month after that.
See Appendix One on Page 175 for more than 50 scholarly writings about sudden athlete deaths; none show anything approaching the number publicly reported since 2021.
If you believe athlete deaths have always happened at this rate and that nothing unusual is underway, conduct your own Google search for deaths like these in 2019, ’18, ’17, or any other past years. Try every combination of every search term you can think of (e.g., athlete sudden death, died midgame, young athlete collapsed and died, collapsed on field, suddenly died), and see if you can find even a fraction of what’s occurred since 2021.
Healthy teenagers dying in their sleep – an event like that was beyond rare, which is why most of us lived our whole lives never hearing about such things. Until 2021.
Imagine that two healthy teenage boys are found dead in their beds a few days apart. In both cases, emergency responders knew immediately that resuscitation would be futile. Just days before they died, both had received the second dose of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. An autopsy in Connecticut, and another in Michigan confirmed the official cause of death for both boys: Vaccine-induced myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle, swelling of the heart).
When official agencies in two states conclude that COVID vaccines can kill healthy teenagers, wouldn’t that seem to be important national news? But it was barely reported anywhere. Using the QR code, you can confirm right now that this suppressed story is true.
When a sudden death occurs in front of spectators, it’s newsworthy, and will be reported at least in local media outlets. Similarly, when a healthy young famous person dies unexpectedly, it’s likely to be reported by the news media. In the past, such news stories about a young person would keenly focus on answering the glaring question: Why did this person die? But the current protocol in national news is to ignore such details outright. In the rare instances that these deaths are even reported beyond local news outlets, the reports contain phrases most readers have subconsciously come to expect and accept:
Cause of death unknown, died of natural causes, no cause of death has been given, died after a brief illness, officials are still investigating cause of death
No follow-up news stories, no questions from reporters, no curiosity.
But I am curious. I’ve made a career of being curious about trends, early indicators, statistics, demographics, metrics. That’s what I do: draw useful patterns from as many sources of reliable information and data as I can get.
Essentially, my career on Wall Street was to make money for our clients by making the best predictions. Wall Street is mostly comprised of smart, hardworking men and women competing to create impressive returns for their clients. Like any of us, people on Wall Street want proof of concept before acting, and certainly before committing money to some idea. There is a Wall Street saying: “Be early, be right and be loud!” A common problem is that most people are hesitant to go against the grain of consensus; they prefer to ride trends everyone can see. But the big money in stock picking is made by identifying changes in trends before everyone sees them.
Investing huge amounts of money incentivizes a person to be correct, to discern the difference between mere claims and real possibilities. That required me to become a successful ambassador between two worlds: perception and reality.
On Wall Street those who can figure out reality, those who can see the near future before the herd’s perception changes – those people stand to make a lot of money. My brain is wired in this fashion, and I’m applying the same modality to the strange present moment in which public health officials are no longer curious about what causes unexpected death.
In addition to the young athletes I saw dying in 2021, I began to hear stories from friends whose loved ones had died suddenly. (Oddly, I hadn’t heard such stories in 2020 when COVID was raging.) Before we look at the obvious change that occurred in 2021, I want to honor the healthy young people who died in their sleep, and whose deaths official agencies worked hard to ignore.
As you turn the following pages, ask yourself how often this happened while you were growing up. Reality is more persuasive than all the public health officials, Pharma executives and Pharma-sponsored talking heads on the cable news. We’ll get into the statistical sciences in a moment, but likely, you’ll have already realized on your own that something unusual and terrible is happening.
I really believe that is why God gave us two arms—one for the flu shot and the other one for the COVID shot.

DIED UNEXPECTEDLY IN THEIR SLEEP...
***
By April of 2021 I could see and begin to test the most compelling thesis about what was causing the shocking spike in sudden deaths of healthy young people. Trained to observe shifts in trends, it was clear to me that one big change could not be ignored: mass administration of new pharmaceutical products, experimental products using novel technology with only a 28-day clinical trial testing period. Under Operation Warp Speed, these products were quickly deemed “safe and effective” by the FDA. By April 2021, about 50% of eligible Americans had been injected with the new products.
There are simple facts that can be assessed and analyzed. For example, the number of Americans who took the vaccine products in 2021 can be laid alongside an increase in sudden deaths.
In public health, if evidence indicates a connection between a new Pharma product and increased death, our government should STOP promoting and administering the product.
Instead, we saw history’s biggest advertising and propaganda campaign, including the use of mandate and intimidation to force people to take the new products.
I had been here many times before in my stock picking career. The Dotcom bubble had fanatics who proclaimed it a “new paradigm.” I thought they were crazy and parlayed my contrary bet into substantial success. Five years later, the battle cry was “home prices never go down!” and again my teammates and I managed to steer our fund through that fraud, gaining tremendous market share as a result.
In April of 2021 we were all met with a new battle cry: “Safe & Effective!”
But I saw the trend of sudden death where none had been before.
VACCINE MANDATES & ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY
In Spring and Summer of 2021, we all watched President Biden famously declare that we were experiencing “a pandemic of the unvaccinated.” The CDC, Anthony Fauci’s NIH, and the medical establishment were touting the COVID vaccines as 100% effective against getting or spreading the virus. Though we all hoped for a successful vaccine, these claims were proven false. We all now know that COVID vaccine products do not stop infection, do not stop disease, and most important from a public policy point of view, do not stop transmission.
Simple logic dictates that if you are vaccinated you shouldn’t fear an unvaccinated person. But there was a hysteria pushed by our government that led to mandates for the general public, following the already draconian mandates forced upon hospital workers and first responders in early summer 2021.
Soon, people would need proof of vaccination to use restaurants, gyms, concerts, sporting events, attend college, keep a job, etc. Remember, this was for a virus that had a survival rate of 99.8% and mostly affected old people who were already sick with one or more fatal comorbidities. Though the survival rate isn’t widely reported even today, it was already known right near the start of the pandemic: Most people had a very low risk of death from COVID. Way back in March of 2020, the facts from Italy showed that nearly 100% of deaths attributed to COVID were in people already ill with more than one fatal comorbidity.
If my thesis about the risks of the new vaccine products was right, then All-Cause Mortality would explode when mandates were implemented.
I also formed the professional opinion that these excess deaths would soon show up in insurance company and funeral home results. Insurance companies would incur abnormal losses and funeral home companies would experience growth beyond their expectations.
Through Summer 2021, corporations began their vaccine mandates; Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, two of the most revered investment banks on Wall Street, led the way, announcing vaccine mandates in August 2021. Most of corporate America followed this lead. Then in September, President Biden signed an executive order mandating COVID vaccination for all companies with over 100 employees. The fear campaign by the CDC, NIH and the Biden administration was aided by a complicit news media that’s long been captured by Big Pharma.
The vaccination rate, particularly among working people, rose extremely fast in a short amount of time. I would soon confirm that being employed in 2021 was actually detrimental to your health.
By the fall-winter of 2021 the threatened mandates were implemented by businesses all over America. We all saw the mainstream media demonize the unvaccinated, the effect of which was to tear families and friends apart as many who took the vaccine refused to mingle with the “infectious” unvaccinated. The country was encouraged to forget the traditional understanding of the word vaccine: an intervention that would prevent nearly everyone from getting the infection from an unvaccinated person. Since this vaccine didn’t stop infection or transmission, the old definition of vaccine was becoming less applicable by the day.
As the news reported an alarming number of what they euphemistically called “breakthrough cases,” it soon became so obvious that the CDC decided to quietly change the definition of vaccine. On September 1, 2021, the definition was changed from inoculants that “produce immunity to a specific disease” to “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”
The definition change turned these new COVID products into therapeutics, not vaccines.
Note: Throughout this book, the word vaccine is used for ease of reading – not because these COVID products are vaccines according to any traditional definition.
The CDC, NIH and even President Biden himself told everyone that if you take the vaccine you are protected from COVID and cannot spread COVID. This is not a little lie; it is one to keep in mind as you view the All-Cause Mortality data in this book.
Unfortunately, perception was woefully far from reality. The mainstream media didn’t bother to mention the definition change, continued to spout “safe and effective,” and continued to demonize the unvaccinated.
