"Cause Unknown": The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022 (Children’s Health Defense) Kindle Edition

What is killing healthy young Americans?
 
2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID.
 
A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent.
 
And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions:
 
  • What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people?
  • What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?
 
It isn’t COVID, of course, because we know that COVID is not a significant cause of death in young people. Various stakeholders opine about what could be causing this epidemic of unexpected sudden deaths, but “CAUSE UNKNOWN” doesn’t opine or speculate. The facts just are, and the math just is.
 
The book begins with a close look at the actual human reality behind the statistics, and when you see the people who are represented by the dry term Excess Mortality, it’s difficult to accept so many unexpected sudden deaths of young athletes, known to be the healthiest among us. Similarly, when lots of healthy teenagers and young adults die in their sleep without obvious reason, collapse and die on a family outing, or fall down dead while playing sports, that all by itself raises an immediate public health concern. Or at least it used to.
 
Ask yourself if you recall seeing these kinds of things occurring during your own life—in junior high? In high school? In college? How many times in your life did you hear of a performer dropping dead on stage in mid-performance? Your own life experience and intuition will tell you that what you’re about to see is not normal. 
 
Or at least it wasn’t normal before 2021.

Wow, The Truth, Finally
If you ever doubted, the science, and needed the facts to support your claims, This IS IT! Edward Dowd has all the resources, research, and documentation to support the claims. Everything in this book is referenced. It's an interesting read, especially if you never believed what the msm was feeding you! Excellent statistics, research is impeccable, easy to read, and well written. Dowdy takes a taboo subject, and presents it in a simple, straightforward way. You need this in your library. I highly recommend this book!

Excellent review of the statistics, and I think valuable to see articles on actual people who have suffered from this fraud “vaccine”. It is much more impactful to see real people whose lives are permanently damaged, or have died than to just see stats.

After hearing, Ed Dowd, the author being interviewed, I had to have the book. It is shocking and sad, and it will make you angry, but in my opinion, you must buy it to honor all the innocent people that have been killed ….. the sad and tragic number of young people That have died is a crime against humanity. The way the book is presented, is extremely unique with the QR codes and photos. It’s heartbreaking, but not knowing about it and not reading and educating yourself would be a crime itself. What courage and tenacity it took to write this book. You must get it if truth and awareness means anything to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Statistics and the actual people

"Cause Unknown" focused on the sudden increase in non-COVID deaths that are creating a large rise in Excess Mortality. The author included many pages showing newspaper headlines about healthy young people dying suddenly. These included a web link and QR code so you can go read these articles yourself. Every time something is cited, there's a link so you can read the paper or article or look at the government statistics to make sure the information wasn't taken out of context.

The author mainly looked at young athletes (how often did they used to die versus in 2021 and 2022), young people dying in their sleep, younger medical professionals and famous people dying suddenly. He also looked at when the COVID shots were mandated compared to when the sudden deaths increased, the USA government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting Systems for the COVID shots compared to previous vaccines, how other countries have stopped giving the shots to young people, and how disability claims have gone up. The data is convincing that we need to do something about this rather than just pretending it's not happening. I'd recommend this book to everyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars It should make us all stop, pause, and dig deeper… but more data, less photos.

The Bad
- too many news clippings. Tragic, but we get it. And although seeing stories about young people / supposedly otherwise healthy athletes passing away at what seems to be an inflated number compared to normal, stick to the data. Just showing clippings feels somewhat anecdotal. The author explains at the end that the pictures were so you could see how young they were and/or how many were in athletic gear and as such would have probably had to have passed health screenings or were seen as fit and healthy by coaches and trainers. Doesn't matter. Just show the data.

- he gets sidetracked occasionally talking about other side effects that surfaced in studies (such as reduced sperm count and/or menstrual cycle changes). Although good to know, stay on topic.

The Other
- Contrary to what has been said, the deaths Scott Davidson noted were primarily not C19 deaths. Source: page 154 (on my iPhone, anyway. Not sure if this varies by device).

"He added that most of the claims for deaths being filed were not classified as COVID-19 deaths."

The Intriguing
- how the excess deaths primarily impacted the young / working class when this wasn't the case before.
- how the jump in deaths saw an increase in heart attacks/other heart problems and blood issues when C19 was killing via the lungs. Why the change?
- the timing on it started in May of 2021, long before this "fall Omicron surge" as some have noted. (Source: page 253)
- if omicron was weaker, and the shot had been rolled out… why did things get worse… especially after a mass vax push? Wouldn't the shot help?
- why did kids' excess mortality go up? This is a group that also was largely unaffected before the push to get kids vaccinated.
- why did Denmark's excess deaths rise even as the virus continued to weaken?
- reports of numerous other highly developed countries with high jab rates having jumps in excess mortality despite waning virus lethality.

No bombshells. Not even really a smoking gun, but … there's a lot of questions to be asked instead of sticking heads in the sand. I think the most compelling thing is how the age bracket of people changed (to working people — who were being mandated to get the shot just before the surge started) and the how they died changed (from lung issues to heart and blood problems). I think it calls for a pause.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and Unique Format

This is an important book.

The photos, graphs, and famous quotes present the information in a way that anyone (even CDC and FDA bureaucrats) can grasp. I'm not a book publishing expert, but it's styled like a "coffee table book"; a very effective way to present the material.

Regarding criticism that permission was not obtained for the photos: How can you possibly know that? My friends who died would be happy that Ed published their photos and stories. They would believe that they helped others avoid a tragic and unnecessary fate. Also, for folks who need more text, try "The Gulag Archipelago".

My doctor, needs a copy of Ed's book. In the spring of 2021, he said "enough shots have been given by now - we know they're safe" and "we want everyone to get the shot". That was wrong!

Ed, thank you for this book. Definately a must read and a must share.

Highly recommended.

In todays world it is getting much harder for the public to find material that permits you to be informed in making what could be life altering decisions for yourself and your families. This book filled with photos, graphs and commentary with references to many other qualified peoples articles allowing you to read and become informed to protect you and your families in the future. This book is invaluable as a reference book on this subject. I did tried the QR code and it did work. Very happy with this book, and a very profound respect for Edward Dowd and those who worked so hard to gather the information and data we can find no where else. Just when you think all is lost and there is no hope for humanity, another group of brave souls come forth in what is a movement, to protect and inform all humanity, once again I feel hope. The description of the book is accurate, I can say nothing as well as the description, my decision to purchase the book was based on it, as well as some of the comments. I received what I expected based on the description, so happy with my purchase, I bought the hardcopy, and very glad I did.

A short book examining official statistics from the developed western world exposing the shocking rise in excess deaths post mid-2021, particularly among the working age population. While the book avoids the many rabbit holes of the why and who causes behind this tragedy it leads the reader to the inevitable conclusion that the mRNA “vaccines” are probably the cause and that Big Pharma and government proponents of the vaccine know damn well they are culpable.
