Excess deaths 2025 (John Campbell)

Excess mortality has remained high in the Western World for three consecutive years

This raises serious concerns.

Government leaders and policymakers need to thoroughly investigate underlying causes of persistent excess mortality.

2015–2019 compared to 2020–2024



The excess death level in a number of countries, from the US, the UK, Australia, Germany, Singapore, Japan, and Korea, is running at around 10 to over 20%. This is very concerning since the elevated death numbers are persisting.  

Aside from the excess death data, the clip briefly addresses the fact that correlation is often a strong indicator of causation. It's true with things like smoking and lung cancer, asbestos and mesothelioma, sugar and obesity, radiation and cancer etc. Hand waving away a correlation is not wise, especially if there are known (very specific) mechanisms that can account for the correlation. 

Presently we need a program to arrest this increase in excess deaths, where we can test people and/or give them preventative treatments, in order that they don't keel over before their time.
