New Australian study links excess deaths to Covid jab rollout

Australia excess deaths

A newly published paper by Ralph Lataster from University of Sydney has intensified debate over Australia’s post-pandemic mortality trends after concluding that Covid-19 vaccines are highly likely to have contributed to excess deaths in several parts of the country.

Published in the International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine, the study examined mortality data from Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory, regions selected because they experienced relatively low Covid-19 case numbers and lighter lockdown measures during the early pandemic period.

Lataster concluded that rising excess mortality in 2021 and 2022 cannot be fully explained by Covid-19 infections alone, particularly in jurisdictions where virus-related deaths remained low during much of 2020 and 2021. His paper notes that these regions recorded rapid vaccine uptake comparable to the rest of Australia, while mortality rose sharply after the mass rollout, including an 11.7 percent excess death rate nationally in 2022. In the Northern Territory, where no Covid deaths were recorded in 2020, excess mortality approached 20 percent two years later despite vaccination rates exceeding 89 percent among eligible adults.



The study states that conventional explanations such as delayed health care, lockdown impacts or undercounted Covid deaths do not adequately account for the mortality pattern observed, and calls for further research comparing long-term health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. Lataster also points to official acknowledgements in both Australia and the United States that some deaths have been linked to vaccine side effects, arguing this strengthens the case for deeper investigation.

The publication has already generated wider commentary because it challenges assumptions underpinning Australia’s pandemic-era mortality narrative, particularly the contrast between negative excess deaths in 2020 and elevated mortality after mRNA gene therapy vaccination campaigns intensified. While the paper remains focused on statistical interpretation rather than causation proof, it is likely to add pressure for renewed scrutiny of excess death reporting and public health policy during the Covid period.

  1. Yet if you don’t take the poison jab you can’t get urgent medical care. Australia couldn’t be any more immoral and corrupt if it tried and its tried VERY hard.

  2. Up and to the right proves the democide/genocide with ALL governments that pushed/forced the “safe and effective” onto the people.

  3. Wholeheartedly agree.
    And the fish rots from the head: governance, jurisdiction, education…all subverted by certajn jnfluence.
