Australian Researcher Finds Link Between COVID Vaccines and Excess Deaths

By Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.*  

Experts interviewed by The Defender criticized some aspects of the study but said overall it contributed to the research on COVID-19 vaccines, including by showing that contrary to the mainstream narrative, the Australian states that were more vaccinated or boosted were the ones that fared the poorest in terms of excess fatality.

David Edmund Allen, Ph.D., [pictured right] published his report on July 31 in the European Society of Medicine’s official journal, Medical Research Archives.

Allen — whose research publications have been cited more than 2,000 times since 2019 — is a visiting professor in the School of Math and Statistics at the University of Sydney, an honorary chair professor in the Department of Finance at the Asian University in Taiwan, and an honorary professor of the School of Business and Law at Edith Cowan University.

Using official health statistics, Allen conducted a statistical analysis to determine if there was a relationship between the number of excess deaths and the number of COVID-19 booster vaccinations in each Australian state or territory during the first quarter of 2023.

He also looked at whether there was a relationship between excess deaths and the total number of COVID-19 vaccine doses.

COVID-19 booster vaccination rates and the overall number of COVID-19 doses were both linked to an increase in excess deaths during that timeframe.  

“The results are quite striking and suggest the existence of a strong regression relationship with significant coefficients,” he wrote in his report.

Links between COVID vaccines and excess deaths ‘deserve greater scrutiny.’

Although Allen noted that vaccination appeared to be significantly correlated with excess deaths, he avoided claiming there was a causal link.

He said his findings “suggest that this topic deserves greater scrutiny.”
