COVID Vaccine Statistics Debate: What You Need to Know

Last Updated on May 27, 2025

Edward Dowd, a former BlackRock fund manager, exposed alarming COVID vaccine statistics regarding excess deaths and disabilities, igniting a fierce debate on April 19, 2025.

Specifically, Dowd revealed that excess deaths, particularly among the working-age population, surged after the vaccine rollout in 2021, not during the pandemic in 2020.

His research findings, based on data from the insurance sector, challenge the government’s figures and cast doubt on the authenticity of the data. The focus is on exploring statistics related to excess deaths.

Dowd’s Methodology and Insurance Industry Insights

Dowd detailed his methodology, stating,

He mentioned, “We have published methodology documents outlining how we compute excess deaths. After evaluating three different approaches, we have a preference for the second technique. These findings can be cross-referenced with actuarial tables from insurance companies, which have also noted a similar pattern of excess deaths in their group life insurance policies. The evidence of these excess deaths is irrefutable.”

Moreover, he highlighted government changes, noting,

Furthermore, he highlighted concerns about recent shifts in how certain authorities calculate these numbers. He pointed out, “Recently, some governments have started altering their methodologies for determining these figures. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) recently disclosed changes to how they calculate excess deaths, resulting in a noticeable reduction in the reported figures of excess deaths. This adjustment seems to align better with their preferred outcome. Anticipating this possibility, we made sure to document our methodology and released it in September 2022.”

Consequently, the COVID vaccine statistics debate questions the integrity of official data. Read Dowd’s methodology papers.

Insurance Companies and the Working-Age Population

Dowd pointed to insurance companies’ data, stating,

“And the actuarial tables that the insurance companies use haven’t changed. So excess deaths are continuing. The insurance companies are seeing the same excess mortality especially in the working age population. So these deaths are undeniable. This is, you can’t hide the dead bodies unfortunately.”

Furthermore, he mentioned a significant revelation,

“Was it One America? Is that the insurance company that’s kind of the first revelation to this? Was it an insurance company out of Indiana? Well, One America, CEO Scott Davidson in a Chamber of Commerce meeting revealed that he had seen 40% excess mortality in the millennial age group 25 through 44 and even as high actually for 25 through 64. And he said that’s 10% increase be once in a 200 year flood or three standard deviation event. 40% was off the charts, just off the charts.”

Therefore, the COVID vaccine statistics debate intensifies with insurance data.

Government and Industry Resistance

Dowd discussed the resistance from both government and industry, stating,

“And we haven’t really heard anything since that point in time other than from people like you. What, because we tried helping you get insurance data and we were just pretty well blocked. The insurance companies, they did not want to cooperate with us and provide us their information. Can you talk a little bit about that? Yeah, so what they’re doing is unfortunately there’s still a lot of controversy in the insurance industry where a lot of people don’t even want to look at the vaccine issue. A lot of these CEOs mandated, got the jab themselves, who are in a state of denial.”

Additionally, he noted financial implications,

“They have raised prices in group life policy, so the losses are less now. Losses will be coming in whole life policies due to a Byzantine accounting dynamic. So we expect to see reserves taken once they lower their long term mortality assumptions and or raise their long term mortality assumptions I should say. And we’ll see losses start running through their P&Ls this year and next. With it, I have whistleblowers and there’s been discussions at board level meetings about the continued excess mortality and they dance around every issue except the vaccine. Not mentioned.”

Indeed, the COVID vaccine statistics debate reveals industry and government resistance.

Disabilities and the Working-Age Population

Senator Ron Johnson questioned Dowd, asking,

“So again, you talked about an awful lot of numbers, but my big takeaway is that what you found out is in working age population there was just an extraordinary increase in excess deaths and disabilities starting in 2021. Not 2020 during the pandemic before we had a vaccine, but after the vaccine rollout.”

Dowd responded,

“That’s correct. And that’s my thesis as to why the vaccine caused this. There was a huge makeshift from old to young starting in 21. Disabilities weren’t apparent in 2020. And if you look at the disability numbers and you can drill down into them, the rate of change for the employed in our country in disabilities between 2021 and 2023 was 38%. So that was a rate of change increase of 38% versus the general US population, which has been nine and not in labor force only 4%.”

Therefore, the vaccine statistics debate underscores the impact on the working-age population, as highlighted by Senator Johnson and Dowd.
