Study Clarifies: No Link Between COVID-19 Vaccines and Excess Deaths

A recent study published in BMJ Public Health has been misconstrued in various media reports and social media posts, suggesting that COVID-19 vaccines may have contributed to excess deaths globally.

The journal clarified that the research does not support such claims. Instead, the study focused on trends in excess mortality during the pandemic years of 2020-2022 but did not investigate the causes of these deaths.

Despite a headline from the Daily Telegraph suggesting vaccines could be linked to an increase in excess deaths, the data does not substantiate this. Social media amplified this misinterpretation, with one widely viewed post claiming mainstream media acknowledgement of a supposed vaccine link in the UK.

According to the researchers and public health data scientists interviewed by Reuters, the study merely documented excess deaths without attributing them to vaccines. Excess deaths—an estimation of mortality above expected levels during a specific period—were significant during the pandemic but showed a declining trend by 2022.

The figures cited in the study, drawn from the World Mortality Dataset, show that while excess deaths peaked at around 1 million in 2020 across 47 Western countries, they decreased to 175,000 by 2023. This decline contrasts with suggestions of a continued rise.

Experts, including Jeffrey Morris from the University of Pennsylvania and Stuart McDonald from the Continuous Mortality Investigation, emphasized that the paper does not claim vaccines caused these deaths. Instead, some sections of the paper discuss the medical community’s ongoing debates about mRNA vaccines without drawing definitive conclusions about their safety.

Despite the insinuations in some discussions within the paper, comparisons of vaccine uptake data and excess death statistics reveal no direct correlation. Countries with high vaccination rates, like New Zealand, Denmark, and Australia, recorded the lowest excess deaths, while less vaccinated countries showed higher rates.

In summary, the data in this study do not support the narrative that COVID-19 vaccines have driven an increase in excess deaths. The research tracks mortality rates during the pandemic without pinpointing vaccines as a cause.
