Death Estimate for One Chinese City 2 Times Higher Than Official Toll for Entire Country

China’s official COVID-19 death toll is facing new questions. The death toll in one single city is now twice as high as the official death toll for the whole country.

The death toll in Shanghai, China’s financial hub, has been increasing dramatically since early December when the Chinese Communist Party lifted pandemic restrictions.

Reporters from NTD’s sister media, The Epoch Times, reached out to Shanghai’s funeral homes by phone. Analyzing their public data, they estimate that right now, at least 2,640 human remains are being burned daily in the city—10 times the amount for a normal year.

Even running at this speed, the city’s current funeral home capacity still can’t cover demand. There are now about 30,000 corpses on wait lists for cremation. The longest wait time at one local funeral home is two weeks.

Removing the estimated numbers of natural deaths from that tally, about 125,000 people in Shanghai could have died of COVID-19 from the beginning of December to last week. That’s more than twice the death toll the Chinese Communist Party recently announced for the whole of China, which sits at 60,000.

Australian Olympic Bobsledder and Rugby Player Dies Suddenly at 35

The athlete’s body was discovered in his home on January 21st, according to the New South Wales police.

Dunn’s cause of death is still unclear but the authorities have stated that his death is not viewed as suspicious.

“About 10 am on Saturday, January 21, 2023, police were called to a unit on Crown Street, Surry Hills, after reports the body of a man had been found inside,” New South Wales police said in a statement.

“The body is believed to be that of the 35-year-old occupant. Officers from Surry Hills Police Area Command have commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding his death, which is not being treated as suspicious,” authorities continued.

Ex-Detroit Lions linebacker Jessie Lemonier dies at age 25

Former Detroit Lions linebacker Jessie Lemonier has died, the team confirmed Thursday. He was 25.

No details have been released on the cause of death.

Lemonier, who was drafted by the XFL's Arlington Renegades in November, instead recently signed with the USFL's Houston Gamblers for the upcoming season before being traded to the Birmingham Stallions.

He appeared in seven games with the Lions during the 2021 season, finishing with 15 total tackles and 1.5 sacks. He signed with the Arizona Cardinals last summer and registered a sack in a preseason game but was later released during training camp.

"We are shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of former Detroit Lion Jessie Lemonier," the Lions said in a statement. "Jessie was a model teammate and wonderful young man who is gone far too soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time."

His agent, Drew Smith of DEC Management, told ESPN that Lemonier and his girlfriend were expecting a child.

Lemonier, a native of Hialeah, Florida, originally signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent out of Liberty in 2020. He saw action in six games, making two tackles.

Football Player Collapses Suddenly After Suffering from Cardiac Arrest During Beitostølen Cup in Norway

On Saturday, a football player suddenly collapsed after suffering from a cardiac arrest during the Beitostlen cup in Norway, local media Valdres and NRK reported.

The player, who has yet to be identified, collapsed suddenly two minutes into the game.

CPR was performed and they used the hall’s defibrillator to revive the player, and two minutes later, he was breathing again.

He was immediately sent by air ambulance to Ullevål hospital.

He must have responded well, tournament manager Vidar Hilmen told Valdres newspaper.

It didn’t seem like we would be able to save his life, so it was a tough blow, Hilmen added.

According to reports, the player who collapsed suddenly was a senior player for the team Vest-Torpa.

In light of recent events, Beitostlen Cup has been postponed for the rest of this weekend.

Detroit Northwestern basketball player suffers cardiac arrest, remains on life support

A Detroit high school boys basketball player was rushed to the hospital Tuesday night and placed on life support after suffering a cardiac event during a game.

Detroit Public Schools Community District superintendent Nikolai Vitti sent a message late Tuesday night, announcing that Cartier Woods, a senior at Northwestern High School, "went into cardiac arrest" while he was playing in the varsity basketball home game against Detroit Douglass.

Vitti wrote in an email obtained by the Free Press that Woods was given CPR before being rushed to Henry Ford Hospital, about a mile away from the school. The superintendent wrote that Woods was placed on life support at the hospital and "the next 24 hours are critical for his survival."

A DPSCD spokesperson told the Free Press on Wednesday afternoon that Woods remained on life support.

Vitti also added that the correspondence was sent with permission from Woods' legal guardian, his aunt, and that the family is asking for "prayers, thoughts, and/or well wishes for his recovery."

Woods seemingly was a multi-sport athlete at Northwestern, based on his Hudl page highlighting his time as a football player for the Colts.

At Least 1 Billion Dead or Disabled from CV19 Bioweapon – Dr. Betsy Eads

CV19 bioweapon vax truth warrior Dr. Betsy Eads has been warning of a “Tsunami of ‘vaccine’ deaths coming in the next two years.” The number of people dying and getting permanent disabilities is increasing. That is no surprise with 600 million CV19 injections being administered in America alone. There have been about 13 billion CV19 injections given worldwide. The estimation of dead and permanently disabled is stunning and criminal. Dr. Eads explains, “In my personal opinion that a billion people will either die or be permanently disabled. A new “Expose” article shows 5,162% increase in deaths (in Australia) from this bioweapon shot since 2020. . . . Those are just stunning numbers, and we are seeing it all over the world. From the UK that is on shot number 6, to Israel that is on shot 7 with complete medical chipping. . . . The entire country of Israel is now medically chipped with portable medical records and vaccine records. . . . We are seeing death and permanent disability in huge numbers. It is causing huge increases in all-cause mortality. Just look at Ed Dowd’s numbers. They are as high as 40% (increase of all-cause mortality) in that young working category. We have never seen this many death and disability numbers. There are over 7,000 a day, in America, with death and disability – a day. This is incredible. The CV19 injections are a true bioweapon. . . . this was never a vaccine, it has always been a bioweapon.”

Another ominous fact is the vaxed can shed some of the CV19 bioweapon poison onto people who are unvaxed. This is called “shedding” or “transmission.” Eads explains, “It’s really not shedding. It’s really transmission, or transfection of spike proteins. The spike protein is made up of virus inside it. It has HIV and the Glyco-spike protein . . . .It can be shed from the nose or the mouth . . . and by skin on skin contact, and that’s been well documented by Dr. Ryan Cole and Dr. Peter McCullough. . . It is documented that there is no end point right now to stop the creation of the spike protein (in the vaxed).”

In other words, spike protein cannot be turned off, and this poison can be transmitted from the vaxed to the unvaxed. People suffering from the effects of shedding can suffer some of the same illnesses as the vaccinated.

Here’s the good news. Dr. Eads and other top doctors have developed treatments that can remove the spike proteins and dramatically lessen the effects of the CV19 bioweapon. There is no cure, but the top three treatments Dr. Eads recommends are Ivermectin (IVM), Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Chlorine Dioxide (CD). Eads and other doctors have several other very helpful treatments, as well, with more being developed all the time. Dr. Eads talks about them in this 1-hour and 2-minute in-depth interview.

Dr. Eads says, “Absolutely, there is hope. These products are working. We are coming out with new products, and we are studying and coming out with new products every day. . . . God made your body so it can heal. Pray for forgiveness to God for taking the jab, and you need to be getting on these products to give your body a chance to heal.”

Join Greg Hunter as he talks to 25-year veteran Dr. Elizabeth Eads, DO, as she continues to highlight the unstoppable deaths and permanent injuries and offers hope and treatments to for the CV19 bioweapon vax.

So what THEY are saying there are excess deaths but it isn't the vaccines.

Detroit teen dies in hospital after suffering cardiac arrest playing basketball

The Detroit Northwestern senior who suffered cardiac arrest playing basketball, has died.

Cartier Woods died Monday according to a relative. The 18-year-old had been on life support at Henry Ford Hospital since Jan. 31, when he collapsed on the court.

Cartier's family recently held a vigil for him, where a large group of loved ones and friends offered prayers of hope for him.

Once he collapsed, someone administered CPR while paramedics used an Automated External Defibrillator on him and rushed him to the hospital.

An athlete for years, Cartier was always healthy and strong - making his cardiac incident even harder to understand.

"He was very healthy - he loved basketball," said Shantell Woods, his cousin to FOX 2 last week. "He was very amenable, respectful. We're just asking for prayer - we need it."

"He was a very good person," his aunt, Dwanda Woods said. "He’d give anybody anything, if he had it."

What funeral directors know that you don't

In 78 years, they never had a 15 year old who died from a heart attack. In December 2022, they had 1 a week for three weeks straight. Nobody is talking about it publicly.

Ever since the vaccines rolled out, deaths are up, particularly among young people.

I talked to the owner of many funeral homes across the US; collectively they handle over 3,000 funerals a year. He asked that his name be kept confidential for fear of retribution.

Overall, their business is up by 50% after the vaccines rolled out and it’s not proportional… young people are a greater portion of the deaths.

For example pilot deaths at Southwest Airlines are up six-fold after the vaccines were mandated.

My source said that normally they’d see 1 stillbirth/month pre-vaccine . After the vaccines rolled out, they were seeing as many as 12 stillbirths a month . But they noted that many hospitals will dispose of these cases directly and NOT involve the funeral home, so they are only seeing a fraction of these deaths; the actual increase could be much larger than the 12X increase they observed.

In the 78 years they’ve been in business, they can’t recall ever having seen a 15-year old die from a heart attack. In December 2022, they had 1 a week for three weeks straight .

A very experienced nurse I consulted had never even heard of a 15-year old with a heart attack in her entire career. Now, she hears of these cases on a regular basis.

These funeral homes are also seeing the strange rubbery clots that they’ve never seen before.

The medical examiner was called and verified it, but nobody is saying anything publicly for fear of being fired.

Basically, ever since 2021, they have been seeing very strange things: stillbirths, number of “found dead,” healthy people having heart attacks and strokes, blood clots, etc. They’ve never seen anything like that before; it’s a “noticeable” difference.

Like most funeral homes, they don’t tally statistics but they remember the anecdotes. The most noticeable thing is that the events are happening disproportionally to younger people (i.e., people under 65).

So if elderly deaths are only up by 15%, but younger age groups are increased by 100% or more, the overall all-cause mortality for all ages will only increase modestly (since younger people rarely die).

Also, the CDC stats for 2022 say that the data is not fully reported due to reporting delays. This means checking with funeral directors is a way to estimate what is happening in real-time.

Bottom line: everyone knows what is causing this, but they are all afraid to speak out. For the few who do speak out, their stories are never covered in the mainstream media.

If kids dying of heart attacks are up by 100X over normal, why aren’t we seeing it in the all-cause mortality stats for young people?

It’s simple… kids under 16 dying from heart attacks pre-vax is nearly 0. So even after a 100X increase, it’s still a negligible number compared to overall all-cause child deaths (from accidents, cancer, etc).

So this is why you can have dramatic increases in key categories of death, even though the all-cause death rates for the larger category aren’t significantly increased.

However, despite this, the most important thing is the all-cause mortality numbers for everyone, and those are still up, which is very unusual as noted here.

Petition for the FAA to investigate 6X increase in pilot deaths

Pilot deaths at Southwest airlines used to average 1 or 2 a year. Now they are dying at a rate of around 1 a month.

Mike Gollins tried to get signatures on a petition to the FAA to investigate these deaths, but found that even though people agree this is important to investigate, they were too afraid to sign the petition:

Summary

We have anecdotal evidence that the vaccines are causing great harm:

  • Stillbirths up by over 10X post-vax rollout.
  • Pilot deaths are up by 6X or more.
  • Young people (such as 15 year olds) dying of heart attacks are up by over 100X above normal.

The mainstream medical community will continue to remain silent in order to keep their jobs. Not a single one will ask for the data transparency (exposing correlated death-vaccine records) that would enable the truth to be revealed.

Basically, the medical community believes that we need to keep the data hidden and kept from public view; otherwise, they would be fired (or lose their medical license).

Also, if the data was made public, people would find out the truth and lose faith in the medical community. If people lost trust in their doctors, they wouldn’t follow their advice to take the vaccine anymore. We can’t have that!

That’s how science works today.

17 year old Quebec football player dies suddenly in his sleep following cardiac arrest

Another COVID-19 mRNA vaccinated (mandated by the Quebec Provincial government) young Canadian athlete has “died suddenly”. The story was carried by Quebec news (Courrier Laval) on Feb.11, 2023 (click here):

“The Wolves of Curé-Antoine-Labelle high school are in mourning. They announced the death of their player William Caron-Cabrera earlier in the week of February 6.

He was in secondary five and was to continue his sporting career with the Campus Notre-Dame-de-Foy (CNDF) at the college level. The defensive back also worked for the Quebec teams and the Laval-Nord Vikings.

“It is with sadness that we learned of the death of one of our own, can we read on the Facebook page of the Laval team. William […] had just completed his fifth season with the Wolves. Our deepest thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.”

According to information issued by the Laval Police Department, he died in his sleep following a cardiac arrest. The cause would be neither suspicious, in any way criminal, nor due to a suicide.

Appreciated person

Several organizations and relatives of the 17-year-old athlete reacted to the death.

"William was a quality athlete, everyone's friend, always there to make us laugh and his departure will leave a great void in our big family of Handball Laval, can we read on the Facebook page of this same organization of the Jesus Island. Will, take care of your gang of buddies and rest in peace.”

“William Caron-Cabrera was a talented, passionate, playful and smiling player who we were blessed to count among [our] big family”, adds the Flag-Football Terrebonne club. It is with heavy hearts that we learn of his passing today. He was able to make a positive impression on people throughout his too short life.

“I had the privilege of participating in the recruitment of William after his last season of secondary 5 and then preparing for his first season at the CNDF, notes former footballer Sébastien Lévesque. […] I want to send a lot of love to his family and those around him, but above all to tell William that we all love him and that our paths will eventually cross again. Take care my friend!”

12-Year-Old Football Player Dies Suddenly After Collapsing on the Field During Practice (VIDEO)

Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia died after collapsing at football practice on Friday, February 10.

He just turned 12 two months ago.

Elijah’s family is still looking for answers to what happened.

According to NBC New York, the tragic event took place in Newark at a youth team’s training while Elijah Jordon Brown-Garcia was doing two of the things he loved most: spending time with his younger brother and getting ready for football practice.

Elijah played for the Essex County Predators, a team owned by Bloomfield-based Big 21.

With the season still months away, Elijah was practicing football at West Side Park together with his 10-year-old brother Mekhi.

Without warning, Elijah passed out. Mekhi immediately contacted his mom, and another parent dialed 911, but no one performed CPR. The coach was running errands when the incident happened.

“He didn’t get hit, like no contact or anything. He ran about 20 yards, said he was going to take a little break. I don’t think he took enough time,” said brother Mekhi Stradford.

Raven Brown, his mother, was shocked by the incident because her son had no history of health issues, News 12 reported.

“No contact. It was just drills running back and forth. He didn’t get hit,” Brown says. “He was a healthy kid…I don’t know why Friday night was his day.”

Brown said that her 10-year-old son Mekhi called to tell her that Elijah had suddenly collapsed and was no longer responsive.

Brown claims she arrived at the location before the ambulance did. She claimed it took two calls from those on the field and a third from her before an ambulance arrived.

“I beat the ambulance there,” Brown says. “Like 30-40 minutes. It took them a long time.”

Elijah was taken to University Hospital where he later died.

No details have been released on the cause of death.

His mom informed RLS Media that an autopsy will be performed by the state regional medical examiner’s office.

PLENTY OF SMILES & LAUGHTER, THEN SUDDENLY DROPS DEAD A FEW SECONDS LATER

Singapore's 2022 Deaths - Highest Record in 62 years!!!

and highest Perinatal deaths in 20 years!

Singapore's 2022 Data just dropped, and it is an absolute disaster. It recorded a 10.4% death over the previous year, the largest increase in 62 years since it started record keeping (the city-state celebrated its 65th National Independence Day in 2022). The number is staggering because the number of deaths in 2021 is already the highest in 61 years (10.1%). Comparing the number of deaths over the pre-pandemic year 2019 is a staggering 25% increase !

On top of that, it also recorded the highest number of perinatal deaths in 20 years . The perinatal mortality rate per thousand Live births and Stillbirths was 4.6, a 58.6% increase over 2021!!

Perinatal Death is "stillbirth and death of babies under seven days of age".

I have been monitoring Singapore's data closely because it is a highly controlled environment. The data is extremely accurate and reliable, and there is no reason to believe any data has been fudged (like the recently released UK ONS data).

More than 85% of its population has been vaccinated (SOURCE), and it has one of the best Healthcare systems in the world. There are no strains in their healthcare and no shortage of workers. The country is geographically located near the equator; it is summer all year, so deaths due to climate change are not a significant factor.

I worked at Big Pharma in Singapore for a few years. The government is highly efficient, as efficient as the private sector because it pays well to work in the public sector in Singapore. Heck, the Prime Minister in Singapore earns more than twice that of other country heads worldwide.

Over the last three years, the number of COVID deaths in Singapore was 1,712 (2.3% of total deaths of 73,175 between 2020-2022). It is only a fraction of the record excess deaths.

Unfortunately, they do not release death data by vaccination status. But we can see that COVID deaths started right after mass vaccination campaigns began on Dec 30, 2020, and deaths have skyrocketed for two years in a row.

The data is fresh out of the oven. It is good to wait for the dust to settle and give time to reflect on the data. It is also essential to listen to all sides of the argument.

He was always a very healthy man."

Former Mets minor-leaguer Matt Pobereyko dies suddenly at 31 at his off-season home

Longtime minor league pitcher Matt Pobereyko, who had recently become a top hurler in Mexico, died suddenly near Chicago, officials and shocked loved ones said Monday.

He was 31.

Pobereyko was in his apartment in a west Chicago-area suburb when he collapsed Friday, and he was later discovered by his girlfriend, his brother, Daniel Pobereyko, said Monday.

“He just dropped, and that’s all we know,” Daniel Pobereyko said. “We don’t know. There’s nothing outstanding on the autopsy. But from what I understand, he would have gotten a clean bill of health if he had a pulse.”

Pobereyko, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound pitcher, was found "unresponsive on his kitchen floor" and "pronounced dead on the scene," Warrenville Police Chief Sam Bonilla said in a statement.

"There were no suspicious circumstances to report, and an autopsy conducted the following day did not reveal anything further," Bonilla said.

A cause of death is "pending further investigation," a DuPage County coroner's spokesman said. It will likely take 7½ more weeks for a formal cause to be determined, the spokesman said.

Pobereyko's death came as a shock to loved ones, his brother said.

"For what we know now, there's really no leads," Daniel Pobereyko said. "They saw him earlier in the week, and he seemed to be perfectly fine."

Pobereyko played two winter seasons, 2021-22 and 2022-23, for Algodoneros de Guasave in the Mexican Pacific League, and the team placed a wreath on the pitcher's mound at Kuroda Park in Guasave and wrote the number 56 in chalk.

The memorial included a handwritten message: "Thanks for giving so much joy.”

Pobereyko’s teammates and coaches are suffering “profound sadness," Algodoneros de Guasave spokesman Ruben Benitez said.

"He was a great teammate. He got along very well with everyone," Benitez said. "Never [any health issues]. He was always a very healthy man."

Pobereyko, a native of Hammond, Indiana, played for Kentucky Wesleyan University before he embarked on a minor league career that included stops with the New York Mets, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Miami Marlins organizations.

He made it as high as the Mets Triple-A team in Las Vegas in 2018.

In recent years, most of Pobereyko's work had come in independent and Mexican leagues.

"He was an incredible teammate and fierce competitor, but an even nicer person," according to a statement from the Saint Paul Saints, for whom Pobereyko pitched in 2020. "He will be missed by all that knew him. We send our love to his family and friends.

This past winter, Pobereyko led the Mexican league with 73 strikeouts in 70⅓ innings, pitching for Algodoneros de Guasave.

His last competitive game was earlier this month, pitching for Mexico in the Caribbean World Series in Venezuela.

Even at the baseball-advanced age of 31, Pobereyko had dreams of playing at higher levels, perhaps in Asia, if he couldn't make it back to the big leagues.

"He had his eyes on the Asian markets, because he had thrown really well in Mexico," Daniel Pobereyko said. "So he was hoping for that at the very least. He still had really good stuff, and he was going to pitch as long as he did."
