Covid Vaccine Carnage: The Rising Death Toll
AT A GLANCE
• Mounting evidence shows that Covid-19 vaccines have caused an unprecedented die-off.
• Pfizer’s shot alone may have caused more than 470,000 American deaths.
• The carnage could be described as a crime against humanity.
• Americans must become informed and demand that the perpetrators be held accountable
From the outset of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, The New American closely tracked its development and deployment. Speaking with front-line physicians, scientists, whistleblowers, data analysts, legislators, and the vaccine-injured themselves, we warned of early evidence of adverse effects, hidden risks, manipulated trial data, and regulatory agencies acting no longer as watchdogs, but as collaborators in what quickly emerged as the largest medical experiment ever conducted on a human population. We called it what it was — and what many now recognize it to be: not a public-health campaign, but a coordinated operation that some have described, without exaggeration, as a crime against humanity.
Five years later, the results are in, and they are devastating.
Far from delivering the promised protection, the Covid injections have left behind a trail of suffering — premature death, cardiac damage, blood clotting, aggressive cancers, fertility loss, and neurological injury — yet the core official narrative remains unchanged. The shots are still on the market, still recommended, still shielded from liability under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, and still untouchable.
To fully grasp the depth of corruption surrounding these deadly injections, we must confront an uncomfortable truth: The program has not ended. It continues, unabated, under the very leadership that ascended to power on the promise to “Make America Healthy Again.”
Despite his long-standing and well-documented criticism of the Covid vaccine campaign — which he once called a “mass murder” — Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is now overseeing its continuation since becoming secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), now led by Dr. Marty Makary — another former critic of the Covid vaccines — has made gestures toward reform. In late May, the agency announced it would no longer approve additional Covid boosters for healthy Americans without data from randomized, controlled trials. It was an overdue correction that quietly acknowledged the failure of prior shortcuts in the approval process.
But that new standard doesn’t apply to everyone. For so-called high-risk Americans — a category that now encompasses up to 200 million people — including the elderly, the chronically ill, pregnant women, and the immunocompromised — the evaluation criteria remain unchanged. For them, approval continues to rest on “immunogenicity” of the vaccines alone, i.e., a surrogate marker of antibody production that has consistently failed to demonstrate any reliable correlation with actual protection in the real world.
In addition to that, while pitched as a reform, the move represents a harmonization of U.S. policy with the World Health Organization’s recommendations from March 28, 2023, already adopted by other developed countries and widely condemned as a soft form of eugenics.
And the FDA isn’t slowing down. Within weeks of the said announcement, the agency approved Moderna’s new booster, ominously named mNexspike — Nex (coincidentally?) meaning “violent death” in Latin — for use in this so-called high-risk population.
Worse yet, rather than pausing and reassessing, federal health authorities are accelerating the agenda. HHS is pressing forward with the Biden-era Project NextGen — the successor to Operation Warp Speed — aimed at developing and deploying a new generation of Covid vaccines. The $4.7 billion initiative is being rolled out in partnership with none other than the Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, institutions deeply embedded in global vaccine policy and pandemic “preparedness.”
At the same time, new research continues to surface confirming what the injured have said all along.
A Body Count Too Large to Bury
The latest blow to the Covid vaccine narrative did not come from a so-called fringe outlet or an anonymous leak. It came from a collaboration between one of the world’s top academic institutions and a state health agency willing to defy federal orthodoxy.
The study, titled Twelve-Month All-Cause Mortality after Initial COVID-19 Vaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech or mRNA-1273 among Adults Living in Florida, was co-authored by MIT Professor Retsef Levi and Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo. Published in April, it dealt yet another blow to the Covid-jab safety myth. According to the results, among 1.47 million vaccinated Florida adults, those who received the initial Pfizer shot faced a 37-percent higher risk of death within a year than those who received Moderna’s. The difference wasn’t subtle. And it wasn’t limited to Covid-related deaths. It spanned cardiovascular, non-Covid, and all-cause mortality.
Independent analyst Steve Kirsch took the findings further. By applying the study’s excess death rate to the U.S. population, Kirsch estimated that Pfizer’s shot alone might have caused more than 470,000 American deaths — a number that, if accurate, would make the mRNA rollout the deadliest government-sanctioned medical intervention in modern history.
According to this model, one American death occurred for every 636 doses administered. That yields a vaccine dose fatality rate (vDFR) — the ratio of deaths to doses administered — of roughly 0.157 percent, aligning closely with a separate estimate by Redert et al. (“Casual effect of covid vaccination on mortality in Europe,” February 2023), which found an average vDFR of approximately 0.15 percent across 17 European nations.
In real terms, this means that Pfizer’s Covid vaccine may have claimed nearly as many American lives as World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined — and in far less time.
Not Lifesaving
Dr. Denis Rancourt, a former physics professor turned data analyst, conducted one of the most comprehensive mortality reviews to date using U.S. government data. His conclusion was blunt: Covid vaccines did not prevent deaths — not a single one. However, they caused an unprecedented die-off.
Rancourt’s team analyzed all-cause mortality across all U.S. states, stratified by age and vaccination rates, from March 2020 to early 2022. They split this period into two equal 50-week segments — before and after mass vaccination.
Their verdict: No reduction in excess deaths. Despite the rollout of hundreds of millions of doses, overall mortality remained unchanged. Worse, the biggest predictor of Covid-era death (or what were counted as “Covid deaths”) rates wasn’t vaccination or age — it was poverty. States with higher poverty saw more deaths, regardless of vaccine uptake.

The same pattern held globally. Rancourt’s team extended their analysis to 17 Southern Hemisphere and equatorial countries, together representing more than nine percent of the world’s population and more than 10 percent of all administered doses.
In all countries, a surge in excess deaths followed vaccine rollouts, particularly during booster campaigns in early 2022. Many of these countries had shown no excess deaths during the pandemic’s first year, only to see sudden spikes once injections began. The timing was consistent; the increases were sharp and not explained by Covid itself.
In nine countries, mortality peaked precisely with third- and fourth-dose campaigns — especially among the elderly — months after the virus had subsided. The data showed no benefit to taking the shots. Instead, the vaccines coincided with harm.
Using this dataset, Rancourt’s team estimated vDFR ranging from 0.02 percent in New Zealand to 0.20 percent in Uruguay. Among people over 90, the vDFR after a fourth dose reached five percent — one death for every 20 injections.
Applied globally, these rates suggest that 17 million people might have died from Covid vaccines. That is one death for every 470 people on Earth — in less than three years.
And most damning of all: The older you were, the more likely the shot was to kill you. Yet these are the very people still being told to “get boosted.”
A massive vaccine database released in June, covering more than 18 million Japanese citizens, confirmed a strong correlation between booster uptake and premature death. The data was made public through the efforts of Kazuhiro Haraguchi, a member of Japan’s House of Representatives, and Dr. Yasufumi Murakami, vice director of the Research Center for RNA Science at the Tokyo University of Science. Dr. Murakami, a veteran molecular biologist with more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, reviewed the findings and delivered a sobering warning: “The more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die.”
The findings were unmistakable. Among the unvaccinated, no unusual mortality spike was observed. Among the vaccinated, however, a clear surge in deaths appeared 90 to 120 days after the final dose. Even more disturbingly, the more doses people received, the sooner they tended to die following their last shot. The steepest spike occurred after the third dose.
Collapse of Fertility
If the rising death toll isn’t enough to sound the alarm, another front in this unfolding crisis is no less harrowing: the collapse of human fertility. And here, too, the signal is no longer hidden; it’s flashing red.
A new study out of the Czech Republic, titled Rates of Successful Conceptions According to COVID-19 Vaccination Status, has delivered one of the clearest indictments yet. The study analyzed data from approximately 1.3 million women aged 18 to 39, comparing successful pregnancies (defined as live births) of those vaccinated before conception to those of women who remained unvaccinated.
The findings are staggering.
Over the course of two years, women who received a Covid vaccine prior to conception experienced a 33-percent lower rate of successful pregnancy compared to their unvaccinated peers. The signal was consistent across the dataset, with dramatic disparities emerging at key points. In June 2021, for example, 39 percent of women were vaccinated, yet they accounted for only seven percent of all successful conceptions.

Throughout 2022, the trend remained steady: Vaccinated women consistently had 1.5 times fewer live births than their unvaccinated counterparts. Meanwhile, the Czech Republic’s total fertility rate plunged from 1.83 to 1.45 — a 21-percent decline in just two years.
Researchers point to several mechanisms that may explain the decline. Persistent spike protein production, triggered by the vaccine’s modified mRNA, may disrupt ovarian function and endometrial receptivity. Even more disturbing, recent studies confirm that vaccine mRNA crosses the placenta within one hour, accumulates in fetal tissues, and persists long after birth.
In America, Dr. James Thorp, a board-certified OB-GYN with more than four decades of experience in maternal-fetal medicine, has emerged as one of the most forceful voices warning against these dangers. Testifying before the U.S. Senate on May 22, 2025, Thorp delivered a daunting message: The mRNA injections are biochemically similar in effect to abortion-inducing drugs.
He wasn’t speculating. He pointed to the now-infamous study by Dr. Tom Shimabukuro et al., “Preliminary Findings of mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons,” published in the New England Journal of Medicine on September 8, 2021, which claimed a 12.6-percent miscarriage rate following Covid vaccination. But when Thorp and others reanalyzed the data — isolating women vaccinated during the first trimester — the miscarriage rate jumped to 82 percent.
In addition to that, Thorp quoted the most recent animal studies, which show a whopping 60-percent destruction of the ovarian reserve in rats exposed to mRNA injections. This biological effect aligns disturbingly well with the outcomes observed in Czech women — and might help explain the parallel declines in birth rates now seen in Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Canada, and across the developed world.
Globally, the picture grows darker. According to the latest UN projections, for what they are worth, more than 75 percent of countries — 155 out of 204 — are expected to fall below replacement-level fertility by 2050. The industrialized world is already far below that line.
That was once blamed on shifting lifestyles and economic stressors. But we must now confront a more disturbing possibility: that mRNA technology, unleashed on billions without proper testing, is playing a major role in population reduction. (For more information about the rise in fetal deaths in particular, see page 12.)
DNA, Spike Protein, and Turbo Cancers
While excess deaths, cardiac arrests, and fertility collapse have dominated headlines in the medical-freedom movement, another bombshell is quietly detonating: the discovery of plasmid DNA contamination in mRNA vaccine vials — and its disturbing link to rapidly growing, aggressive cancers.
This is not speculation. It comes directly from FDA laboratories.
Independent labs, led most notably by Dr. Kevin McKernan, raised the alarm in 2023. Then, in a January 2025 exposé, investigative journalist Maryanne Demasi revealed that researchers at the FDA’s White Oak Campus had detected DNA contamination in Pfizer’s vaccine — at levels six to 470 times above established safety limits.
The vaccines tested came from BEI Resources, a supplier linked to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. These were not rogue batches. These were stockpiled, government-approved doses.
The contamination originates from plasmid DNA used in manufacturing to program cells to produce the spike protein. Delivered alongside lipid nanoparticles — which breach both cellular and nuclear membranes — these fragments pose a real risk of integrating into the human genome. That risk was later confirmed by at least four independent, peer-reviewed studies.
Alarmingly, the plasmid backbone used by Pfizer includes sequences from the SV40 promoter — a viral element previously linked to cancer in early polio vaccines. SV40, or Simian Virus 40, is a known oncogenic virus. Its promoter region can activate nearby genes when inserted into host DNA, including those involved in uncontrolled cell growth.
The FDA has dismissed the concern, claiming that the presence of residual plasmid DNA poses no safety risk — despite its own researchers finding contamination levels far beyond regulatory limits and despite the known dangers of DNA integration when combined with lipid nanoparticles.
And the consequences may already be unfolding.
Since 2021, doctors and researchers worldwide have reported a rise in rare, aggressive cancers appearing shortly after Covid vaccination: high-grade, treatment-resistant, fast-growing tumors in previously healthy, young individuals. These are what clinicians now call “turbo cancers.”

Worse still, if DNA integration is happening — even in a small number of cases — the implications are generational. Germline mutations, oncogenic insertions, and immune disruption are irreversible. They are also often undetectable — until illness appears.
In a rational world, this discovery would end the mRNA platform. Instead, we are being prepared for boosters five and six.
Making People Sicker
But even as the long-term dangers of DNA contamination come into focus, mounting evidence shows the vaccines are also fueling a parallel crisis of chronic illness.
In April 2024, the largest vaccine safety study ever conducted delivered a stunning verdict. Published in the peer-reviewed journal Vaccine, the multinational study analyzed adverse-event data from more than 99 million people across eight countries. This was not the work of fringe researchers or citizen journalists; it was a formal collaboration between national health agencies and academic institutions — and its findings were devastating.
The study identified multiple serious neurological and cardiovascular conditions strongly associated with both mRNA and viral-vector Covid injections:
- Myocarditis risk increased by 510 percent following mRNA vaccination.
- Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis surged 278 percent after mRNA doses.
- Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis spiked 223 percent with viral-vector shots.
- Guillain-Barré syndrome rose 149 percent following viral-vector injection.
These are not minor or rare side effects. These are catastrophic immune and neurological breakdowns, now documented at scale in one of the most robust datasets available.
By early 2025, the picture had grown even darker.

A preprint study from Yale University’s Department of Immunobiology offered an immunological explanation for what millions of the vaccine-injured had already reported: These injections were not simply failing to protect, but were actively dismantling the body’s defenses. The study analyzed post-vaccination blood samples from individuals who reported persistent symptoms resembling long Covid or autoimmune flare-ups. The researchers discovered widespread markers of immune dysregulation — including aberrant cytokine profiles, T-cell exhaustion, and sustained inflammation inconsistent with either infection or resolution.
The implication was clear: In some recipients, the mRNA injections had induced a form of immunological derangement — not temporary discomfort, but a permanent shift into chronic illness.
The Plea
On June 4, a coalition of physicians, scientists, media figures, and citizen activists issued an open letter to Kennedy and Makary. Penned by Catherine Austin Fitts, Naomi Wolf, Sasha Latypova, Drs. Mary Talley Bowden and Henry Ealy, and others, the letter offered a stark warning: If the administration does not act decisively to remove mRNA Covid vaccines from the market, it will face political revolt.
The letter rejected the idea that “more data” is needed. It cited peer-reviewed studies, Pfizer clinical-document disclosures, and government health data from both the United States and abroad as sufficient to demonstrate catastrophic harm from mRNA injections.
Their demands are clear:
- Ban all mRNA and gene therapy-based vaccines.
- Terminate the PREP Act declaration for Covid vaccines and thus allow the injured their day in court.
- Call on Congress to repeal the PREP Act altogether.
- Ban pharmaceutical direct-to-consumer advertising.
- End HHS-backed financial incentives that coerce medical treatment.
- Root out conflicts of interest across healthcare agencies.
The letter was not simply a critique; it was a political ultimatum. The MAHA bloc, led by independent and formerly apolitical parents, claimed credit for swinging the last election and warned it could walk away or run new candidates if betrayed.
Their letter is clearly a demand for justice. But is each of their demands advisable? Specifically, are all mRNA and gene-therapy vaccines necessarily bad and, more importantly, does the federal government possess constitutional authority to ban them? On the other hand, this magazine has long recommended repealing laws that protect Big Pharma from product liability and ending federal healthcare subsidies and financial incentives. Rescinding both would send the message that companies will be held accountable, as other businesses are, for putting faulty products on the market. As for bureaucratic conflicts of interest, the clear answer is to shut down the unconstitutional “fourth branch” of government instead of making it more efficient.
Ashes of Trust, Seeds of Clarity
In the meantime, the FDA has quietly advanced the next generation of mRNA-based products and broadened its focus to other gene therapies. Here are some developments over just the past few months:
- On December 11, 2024, pharmaceutical company Sanofi received “fast track” designation for two mRNA combination vaccines targeting Covid and influenza, developed in partnership with Novavax.
- On March 26, the FDA granted “fast track” status to Sanofi’s mRNA-based chlamydia vaccine.
- On April 10, Arcturus Therapeutics’ self-amplifying mRNA H5N1 avian flu vaccine, ARCT-2304, was also fast-tracked. This one raised particular concern due to its potential for prolonged spike protein production, increased risk of genomic integration, and shedding.
- On May 20, the Novavax Covid vaccine received full FDA approval. While not mRNA-based, it still instructs the body to produce the toxic spike protein.
- On May 31, the FDA approved Moderna’s new booster, mNexspike, for use in “high-risk” Americans.
- On June 6, Secretary Kennedy announced plans to accelerate gene therapy approvals, with a current emphasis on rare diseases.
- On July 10, the FDA granted full licensure to Moderna’s Covid vaccine, mRNA-1273, for children aged 6 months to 11 years with underlying medical conditions.
- On August 27, the FDA fully approved updated Covid vaccines, ending emergency use authorizations. Moderna is cleared for ages 6 months and older (with restrictions for young children), Pfizer for ages 5 and older, and Novavax for ages 12 and older with “health risks” and for seniors. As of early September, it remains to be seen if the CDC — currently undergoing a reform aimed at “restoring trust,” in Kennedy’s words — will recommend vaccinations for those deemed vulnerable. It may prove to be an early test for the revamped CDC.
Facing mounting grassroots frustration from the MAHA front, Kennedy announced in early August “the beginning of a coordinated wind-down of mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).” That included the immediate cancellation of 22 mRNA vaccine-development investments worth nearly $500 million.
As to the reason for the decision, Kennedy cited insufficient efficacy levels, pitching the shift “toward safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as [respiratory viruses such as Covid and the flu] mutate.” The announcement immediately drew comparisons to the so-called universal vaccine platform — previously promoted by none other than the notorious Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Kennedy’s statement also clarified that “some final-stage contracts (e.g., Arcturus and Amplitude) will be allowed to run their course,” and that “other uses of mRNA technology within the department are not impacted.”
While this is good news, keep in mind that BARDA is far from the only agency involved in vaccine development. For example, the National Institutes of Health is currently funding more than 130 studies involving mRNA technology, including experimental treatments for flu, AIDS, and cancer. Other active government entities include the Department of Defense and its Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The latter — credited with developing transformative technologies such as ARPANET (the internet), GPS, and flat-panel displays — is often seen as a key player in the Deep State due to its role in building a digital control grid.
Interestingly, some researchers, such as Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Schoeni, Ph.D., point out that DARPA’s organizational structure, heavily reliant on secretive contracts with private entities, served as a model for Operation Warp Speed (OWS), the initiative that produced the Covid vaccines. President Trump, to this day, continues to praise OWS as a “medical miracle.”
All in all, while appearing to curtail the deadly platform, the federal government is fully committed to expanding it — under new branding, new leadership, and the same foundational premise: that expensive gene-based products are the future of medicine.
The U.S. Constitution grants the federal government no authority to regulate healthcare. In light of the immense harm inflicted by the Covid vaccine campaign, the refusal of MAHA’s political leadership to hold those responsible to account is not just a disappointment or a strategic misstep, it is a sobering revelation: Those once seen as revolutionaries are now presiding over the continued expansion of gene-based interventions.
For anyone still holding out hope for rescue from Washington, this should mark the end of illusions — and encourage the long-overdue embrace of personal responsibility. That responsibility must now extend beyond self-preservation to include staying informed and actively scrutinizing and opposing initiatives that may, whether by design or consequence, align with depopulation-oriented thinking disguised as public health policy.
