No, it wasn't. Do you even care about posting anything factual? Despicable.

Quote:Edward Dowd, who describes himself as an equity investment executive, speaks about Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data...

Dowd does not have any medical or public health background...

While Dowd claims the deaths are due to vaccine rollouts, this CDC data represents excess deaths from COVID-19.

The CDC also notes on the page that there are several limitations to the data, saying it is provisional and incomplete. “The estimates presented may be an early indication of excess mortality related to COVID-19, but should be interpreted with caution, until confirmed by other data sources such as state or local health departments,” the CDC says on the page.

CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) told Reuters via email that the provisional data on CDC’s WONDER database (wonder.cdc.gov/) does not show that the percent increase since 2019 reaches 84% in any month for the 25-44 age group.

“And these excess deaths should most certainly not be attributed to specific events or causes – they just represent an overall higher number of deaths in this age group relative to previous years and could be due to any number of different factors...” NCHS said.

NCHS said that there were 63,141 more deaths in the age group in 2021 compared to 2019; an increase of 44% from 2019 to 2021.

“There is no way to attribute the increase to vaccination or any single specific cause,” NCHS said. “That said, the large increase in COVID deaths (and total deaths) for the latter part of 2021 does coincide with the Delta and Omicron waves.”

Fact Check-No evidence that people aged 25-44 experienced an 84% increase in excess mortality due to COVID vaccine rollout

The dude's entire life is numbers and data analysis. The fact that he doesn't have a medical or public health background is meaningless. You think the people who work for the CDC that analyze data all have medical or public health backgrounds?

I haven't looked at any of his data in detail, but I'm assuming he means that the total excess deaths in the final 4 months of 2021 was 84% higher than estimated, not any one month.

Even if that is the case, where does he come up with the vaccines being the reason? What access does he have to individual medical information on those who died? He doesn't.
