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.
