Here we are, 2024, like you said, a new year. And for our new audience members, we have a lot of them. We have been in our forensically reporting on the COVID vaccine rollout at every step. We knew it was going to cause harm, but what kind of harm? How many people? And there's one metric, Dell, that you called almost two years ago now that we knew they couldn't hide. Here's that clip from 2022. All right.

People say, Dell, they're going to try and hide it. Hide what? You might be able to hide COVID deaths. You might be able to sort of manipulate the COVID deaths and take people that are having heart attacks and put them in the COVID category. You might be able to hide the actual COVID vaccine rates and who was truly vaccinated. Were they fully vaccinated? Were they boosted? Did they only have one shot?

Was there only 14 days after the second shot? They're manipulating all of that. But one thing you cannot manipulate is the all-cause mortality, just meaning if there's a rise in just death across the board in every nation, that is going to be really hard. to hide. Now, one after the other, we've been seeing country after country posting not, it was basically called excess deaths now. That's what they're calling it. And there's this phenomenon.

There's this alarming anomaly. Meaning the all-cause mortality that is over the norm, above the norm, all the deaths, all the categories, but more people are dying than they were, say, five years ago or the average that we were used to. All right. Absolutely. Absolutely. And they were supposed to not do that because we had a vaccine.

Now this conversation is mainstream media. It's the topic of is the elephant in the room. Everyone's reporting on it. Here's just Fox News recently. Listen to this. All right. The Hill writes the following, this is bigger than COVID. Why are so many Americans dying early?

It goes on to say life insurers have been consistently sounding the alarm over these unexpected or excess deaths, which claimed 158,000 more Americans in the first nine months of 2023 than in the same period, 2019. That exceeds America's combined. losses from every war since Vietnam. Mortality up 26% Dr. Mark among 35 to 44 year olds, up 19% among 25 to 34 year olds. What in the world is going on? Really, those are really scary numbers. And just to give it some context for somebody that may be seeing this for the first time, a lot of this was coming from insurance models. Like how much is insurance paying out for death? And they were saying some of the

rises were as high as 40%. And I remember one of the guys that came forward first, he said, you know, we called a three sigma event when there's a 10% rise in death. Three sigma meaning a once in a 200 year catastrophic event, a once in a 200 year earthquake or 200 year, you know, tsunami. And these numbers are even above that. I mean, off the charts is what we're talking about. That number is incredible. 158,000 deaths just in 2023, above the normal. And when you think, I think Vietnam,

what do we say? There's about 65,000 people in all the years of Vietnam that died there. And it's like barely anyone's talking about. It's really incredible. And think about the protests that happened during Vietnam to end that war because of the deaths. And this is why this conversation

about excess death is on everybody's radar. Everyone's talking about it from Joe Rogan. to Mark Siegel, Fox News, CNN. And so let's look at some more numbers. Let's keep diving into this here, because this is the topic of the day. So let's look at the most populous state in the United States, California. Here's an article of a Daily Skeptic just recently this month.

Why are so many Californians dying? And it says COVID has claimed about 105,000 lives in California since 2020. In that same time period, 82,000 more Californians died from everything else than is typical. Adjusted for the decline in population, that non-COVID excess death figure becomes even more concerning, as the state has seen its population drop to about the same as it was in 2015. I mean, just amazing conversation on this, but it gets, it's the same story anywhere you look. In the UK, we have medical journals, top medical journals like The Lancet, now forced to report on this. Here's an article or a study out of the Lancet.

excess mortality in England post-COVID-19 pandemic. And it goes on to say this model finds that in the period week ending, 3rd June 22 to 30th June 2020, so over a year there, excess deaths for all causes were relatively greatest for 50 to 64-year-olds, 15% higher than it. 10% is a 3-sigma. So this is, you know, far and above that. All right, go on.

Any country you're looking at, you're finding almost the same thing. And it says compared with 11% higher for 25 to 49 and less than 25-year-olds and about 9% higher for over 65-year-old groups. But then it goes on to say the age standardized CMI found similar patterns with the largest relative excess deaths for 2022 observed in young, 20 to 44 years, and middle-age, 45 to 64 years adults. So that's really when the insurance company is kicked in, like you said, a couple of years ago, they said, wait a minute. These are young, working age people that are dropping dead.

Why is this happening? We've never seen anything like this before. And, you know, the media, they'll say, or the governments looking at this, they'll say, don't worry, these are just backed up cancer screenings from the lockdowns. These are just people maybe not taking their statins. But we actually have a professor of oncology, Angus Dunglish, from St. George's Medical School in London, he was, he had a recent interview, he talked about this and put a really fine point on it. Take a listen. All right. I'm looking at excess deaths during the pandemic, but equally before that, I mean, clearly the rate of death in Britain will grow with an aging

population. Yes, it will, but these figures are meant to be adjusted for that. It meant to be adjusted for that and age justice as well. And I mean, I've seen the very raw figures. and they are quite worrying because there's excess deaths of the younger people going on, not just in the older population, but in the people under 40, and the real peaks between 40 and 64-65. Now, this is something that is highly unusual and highly alarming. It was initially dismissed as due to people not getting statins. Remember Chris Witty said this, which I thought was really quite alarming,

because you don't get offered statins until you're over 55-60, so it can't possibly be involved with that group. Now, the one major thing we said, there's lockdown, the effect of lockdown and everything it did, this would go bang on to excess tests, cancer and various other things. Because of misdiagnosis. There's misdiagnosis, mistreatments, everything.

But there's something far worse than this. Now, when you actually look at these figures that we have, they're the same in Europe, in Australia, in other places too. One of the things that I flagged up and nobody's taken any real notice of and it's even more pertinent now is that others have pointed out this excess death started and correlates with the vaccine program. So it doesn't mean to say it's associated, but why hasn't it been looked at? Why hasn't it been really, really suddenly looked at? And it hasn't because myself and other colleagues have raised this ad nauseum and we get absolutely nothing but to say it's all expected. This would be like, you know, you have a family dinner and the next morning there's this line to the bathroom.

It's coming out of all ends of grandpa in the bathroom. People are finding every bathroom. They're going to the neighbors. They can't even make it out in the yard. It's like bridesmaids all over again. And the one thing no one's going to look at is what did we eat last night? We're not going to look at that. I mean, this is what's happening.

You have a moment where this whole thing starts, which is at the vaccine program. and no one at the CDC, no one at the FDA, no one at any regulatory agency in the world is going to look at vaccines. Now, that's the one place we know it's not happening. This is insane. I mean, we're talking about a tidal wave is slamming into every nation in the world

and killing people at rates we've never seen before. And nobody wants to talk about what did we do differently that could have caused this? And the fact that no one's asking these questions, it really points to a clear cover-up going on. How deep is it go? Where does it go? We don't know.

But the fact that they won't even bring that into the conversation. And one of the key people... It tells you they know damn well what it is. That's what it says to me. If you didn't think it really had to do with it, it'd be the first thing you'd look at or maybe the fifth thing. You wouldn't avoid it all together unless you're like, oh my God, don't open that door.

Don't open that door! Boy, I've got a lot of energy today. One of the key people running kind of the cover-up on conversations that aren't supposed to be had in public is Dr. Anthony Fauci. And as we talked about over these last three, four weeks, he was going to be and now has been behind a closed door testimony for the select subcommittee

on the coronavirus pandemic. And there's no transcripts have come out from this. There's no videos that have come out from this, but we do have headlines, we do have some quotes. And here's one of the headlines. Fauci said he did not recall specifics on COVID origins, pandemic policies over 100 times in closed door.

testimony. But then we go to the select subcommittee's Twitter page or X page, and here's some of the posts that they posted. Here's one of them. Dr. Fauci claim that the six feet apart social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any data. He says, it just sort of appeared. But then it gets even worse. Remember we questioned the lab leak and we lost our channel on YouTube? Well, this is Dr. Fauci, acknowledge that the lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory. And the Twitter post goes on there for right, this comes nearly four years after promoting the publication of the now infamous proximal origin paper that attempted to vilify and disprove the lab leak hypothesis. So there it is. Anthony Fauci himself is saying it's no

longer a conspiracy, although he was one of the main architects in that paper. If I remember correctly, isn't there a scene in the godfather? I want to say it's the godfather where one of the mob guys is probably going to, you know, turn over, but that ends up going on the stand. It just says, I do not recall. I do not recall. Anyway, one of those mob movies. It's exactly what he did, right? Oh, I do not recall. I don't have any memory of that. Oh, I don't recall. Don't remember. I mean, this is literally what we're dealing with, right? This is a scientist. This is a guy that was dictating the world because of his incredible brain and knowledge on what we should do cannot remember a damn thing he said to us. Unbelievable. Not only a scientist, the science,

by his own words. So this is something else, though. He appears to still be defending the lockdowns, though. This is a headline out of New York Post. Fauci tells House COVID panel he's not convinced kids suffered learning loss due to the pandemic school closures. Let's talk about that for a second, because this loops into the conversation about excess deaths with a vaccine, but we also have these lockdowns. Yeah. And remember in 2022, the same year you said, look out for these excess deaths. The Director General of the UN came out and made this statement. This was the headline, 50 million will be severely hungry this year, says Deputy Secretary General of the UN. Now he's talking about because of COVID, just COVID, not really describing what parts of

COVID may have caused that. But now we have the first organization, an independent think tank that has come forward and blamed the lockdowns for this. Before we've had single scientists, a scientific paper here and there. But we have the Royal United Services Institute. This is an independent think tank that's almost true. 200 years old. And they put out this article, are COVID lockdowns behind the rise in extreme poverty in the global south? That's Africa. And he says the evidence clearly suggests that

COVID lockdown policies have shaped the rise of poverty since 2020, particularly in the global South. And it goes on to say poverty drives political instability and social economic distress. This is not a novel conclusion. But the socioeconomic consequences of pandemic policies were not sufficiently calibrated by policymakers. They have driven. driven ruinous increases in poverty and insecurity all around the world. This must be a factor in future pandemic, policymaking, and in the current debate on new international health regulations by being led by the WHO. So they're saying they're not sufficiently calibrated, almost like the policymakers were

in some type of bubble, and they didn't really understand what their policies were doing in the real world. Right, but don't worry, we want to pass a treaty so the same boneheads that mess this whole thing up, get to control the... entire world and remove anybody with a critical thought from having any options. Yeah, and so this has been an interesting week because we had Fauci coming forward admitting some of the stuff that he has really defended in the past. Now he's flip-flopping on that. But we have former NIH director, Dr. Francis Collins. Remember this guy was kind of

the happy-go-lucky, you know, older hippie that was playing guitar. Well, this is him during a recent talk admitting some of his failures. Take a listen. As a guy living inside the Beltway, feeling a sense of crisis, trying to decide what to do in some situation room in the White House with people who had data that was incomplete. We weren't really thinking about what that would mean to Wilk and his family in Minnesota a thousand miles away from where the virus was hitting so hard. We weren't really considering the consequences in communities that were not New York City or some other big city. The public health people, we talked about

up this earlier, and this is really important point, if you're a public health person and you're trying to make a decision, you have this very narrow view of what the right decision is, and that is something that will save a life. Doesn't matter what else happens. So you attach infinite value to stopping the disease and saving a life. You attach a zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people's lives, ruins the economy, and has many kids kept out of school in a way that they never quite require for collateral damage so there yeah collateral damage this is a public health mindset and i think a lot of us involved in trying to make those recommendations had that mindset and that was really unfortunate that's another mistake we make

okay not sure what's going on there i mean i know this guy considers himself a big christian maybe he's realizing his days are getting close to have an answer for what he's done uh but uh He acts like, oh, we just didn't know better. Yeah. And, you know, he frames this in, well, that was a public health mindset. I would argue that was an authoritarian mindset because in October of 2020, Dr. Francis Collins penned this exact email to Dr. Fauci and Clifford Lane. This was it right here talking about the Great Barrington Declaration.

It was like thousands of public health officials and scientists saying this is the wrong approach. you're going to get people killed. Starvation will run rampant. The cure will be worse than the disease. There is 939,000 signatures. They came forward with that. And did Francis Collins say, you know what? Maybe we are in a thought bubble. Come on to the table. Let's have a conversation. No. Show us the email. Absolutely not. He says this. The Great Bering Declaration, this proposal from three fringe epidemiologists who met with the secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention. And even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Mike Leavitt at Stanford. He goes on to say, There needs to be a quick and devastating published takedown of its premises. I don't see anything like that online yet.

Is it underway? So he's commanding. Get this thing out of the way. We're in a bubble. We want to stay in our bubble. And despite the fact that these... We want to keep the world in a bubble. Like, shut this down.

That's right. Top epidemiologists, we don't care. And this was actually a historic email because this kicked off the entire, what's now being called the censorship industrial. complex run by the Department of Homeland Security through CISA. We know that they influenced Twitter, Facebook, YouTube. We had the CIA, the FBI, and they're pulling down post, questioning any conversation around the COVID vaccine, lockdowns, masks that ran counter to what Francis Collins called

good public health in the Beltway bubble. And that's what was going on.
