‘Died Suddenly’ — World Premiere – Dr. Joseph Mercola

Those paying attention to obituaries over the past two years will have noticed an alarming trend. People of all ages, many of whom had no underlying health conditions, have “died suddenly,” sometimes in their sleep, sometimes while playing sports, sometimes while going about their everyday business.

Without warning, their hearts failed and they dropped dead. Or they suffered sudden multiorgan failure. Or a massive blood clot. Or “unknown causes.” It’s an unprecedented epidemic of “sudden death,” and it coincides with the rollout of experimental gene therapies falsely and fraudulently marketed as vaccines against COVID-19.

The Stew Peters Network documentary, “Died Suddenly,” dissects this frightening trend and digs into the ideology that has shaped the geopolitical landscape for decades, a worldview that says there are too many people in the world, and that population control are necessary for mankind’s survival. Is that what these COVID shots are ultimately all about?

“Died Suddenly” received millions of views within 24 hours of its release. Not all feedback has been favorable, however. I decided to run the video, along with some of the critiques against it. My conclusion is that it’s a worthwhile watch, with the caveat that it cannot be used as proof of any given theory.

The Substack journalist that goes by the moniker A Midwestern Doctor and Dr. Robert Malone are but two individuals in the truth movement who have pointed out problems with the film.

Select Critiques

A Midwestern Doctor writes:¹

“I am personally a bit torn on this movie because it covers a lot of important ground and is presented in a highly persuasive manner that will red-pill many who are on the fence, but it also has a variety of errors and tangental conspiratorial content which makes it prone to being debunked and discrediting this message to those who were on the fence about it …

In the case of the COVID-19 vaccines, although they have a variety of issues, the unique blood clots they form once observed in autopsies also fulfill that requirement, and hence are a home run for persuasion. Similarly, I felt their section represented by far the most persuasive part of ‘Died Suddenly’ …

Unfortunately … there is one huge issue with this segment. The live clot at the end has nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccinations (it came from a surgery posted on YouTube a year before the vaccines entered the market).

I suspect this arose because someone re-uploaded that clip and labeled it as being from the vaccines (either as a prank or as clickbait) and then it was re-shared until the Died Suddenly team got it and added it in since it supported their narrative.”

A Midwestern Doctor does, however, confirm that many funeral home directors, when asked off the record, admit seeing the fibrous clots shown in the film, but keep quiet due to fear of losing their livelihood. So, the clots are most certainly occurring. In the article, he goes on to review some of the scientific findings that might explain these clots, which are not part of the film, so for additional information, his article is a good start.

‘Sin of Information Warfare’

Malone has a similar critique:²

“Other commentators (for example ‘The Daily Skeptic‘ and Josh Guetzkow) have appropriately noted that the … video includes segments which are misleading at best, falsely imply one or more cause-effect relationship between a sudden death event and vaccine administration, or otherwise employ cinematic license to stoke outrage.

I have previously written regarding the business model of Stoking Rage … and in my opinion this strategy is fundamentally the same as the ‘fearporn’ business model of corporate media … I reject the assertion that, on the battlefield of the current 21st century unrestricted media and information war which we are immersed in, it is acceptable to employ the tactics of our opponents …

As I have said so many times, in so many lectures, our opponents in this information war, this war on truth and integrity, have no ethical guardrails. Ethics are entirely situational in their world …

There is nothing in this ‘Died Suddenly’ which represents new news, as far as I can tell. This seems to mostly be a sensationalized but well-produced video covering information which has been known for quite some time. While Steve Kirsch was interviewed in the film, he did not fund or sponsor the production, or have any input beyond his personal interview, and neither he or his organization endorses it.”

According to Malone, “one of the apparent breaches of accuracy” in the film involves an example of sudden death that is “demonstrably unelated to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.”

“These types of ‘artistic license’ distortions of truth cause both damage to the credibility of the arguments being made (which may otherwise be valid), and can also cause psychologic pain,” Malone writes.

“Furthermore, these types of errors become weapons which will be deployed against us by our opponents in this unrestricted information war battlefield.”

So, while the film highlights problems that ought to have been part of the public discussion from the start, the unfortunate inclusion of footage that is unrelated to the COVID shots weakens it. I still encourage you to view the film. Just understand that you cannot rely on every detail in the film to be wholly accurate. With all of that in mind, here’s a summary of some of the highlights in the film.

The Malthusian Theory

As explained in the film, the Malthusian population theory,³ introduced by economist Thomas Robert Malthus in 1798, is the idea that unchecked population growth will eventually result in the die-off of mankind.

According to Malthus, the growth of human populations is exponential, while the growth of resources is linear. So, as a population grows larger, living standards are lowered until, finally, the entire population dies from starvation. To keep population growth in balance, we either have to increase the death rate or lower the birth rate — and the COVID shots, we now find, do both.

Vaccine Promoters Obsessed With Population Control

Interestingly, many of the people who are hard at work developing and promoting supposedly life-saving vaccines are also long-time adherents to the Malthusian theory. They believe the world is overpopulated, and that it will lead to the extinction of mankind unless something is done about it.

Bill Gates is a perfect example of someone who claims the vaccine development and distribution he funds is saving the lives of millions, while at the same time being a proponent of population control and eugenics. In a now-infamous TED Talk, he stated that “if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care and reproductive health services, we can lower that by, perhaps, 10 to 15%.”

As noted by funeral director Chad Whisnant, common sense dictates that if a man tells you he intends to reduce the world’s population by 15% using vaccines, probably, a number of people will die because they got a vaccine. And here we are.

People are dropping like flies, yet government and media pretend as if everything’s normal. It’s not. Children and teenagers do not die in their sleep. At no time in history have several hundred athletes dropped dead in a single year.

Healthy people with no history of disease don’t just die. And never before have people had tough fibrous clots, made from some mysterious, yet-to-be-determined elastic substance, in their cardiovascular systems.

The Fibrous Clot Mystery

Richard Hirschman was the first embalmer to go public with his findings of these mysterious fibrous clots, extracted from people who died, starting in 2021. In November that year, he created a spread sheet to keep track of the size and frequency of these clots, and whether the person was known to have received a COVID shot.

During the last quarter of 2021, Hirschman found these clots in about 130 people. In all, just under 14% of the people he embalmed in that period had no significant clotting; 86% did.

In more recent months, other embalmers have joined Hirschman and started speaking out publicly about these strange fibrous structures they’re now finding. Anna Foster, an embalmer in the U.S., describes pulling out a 3-foot-long fibrous clot out of the carotid artery of one body.

Brenton Faithful, an embalmer in New Zealand, is also seeing them. Another embalmer, Wallace Hooker, gave a presentation on these odd structures at the 2022 Ohio embalmers convention. About 100 embalmers were in attendance, and nearly all of them reported that they too are coming across them.

None of these embalmers have ever, in their many decades of embalming dead bodies, seen these structures before. They only started occurring after the rollout of the COVID shots.

Funeral directors are also starting to speak out. Among them are John O’Looney, a funeral director in the U.K., whose embalmer complained to him that he was having a lot of problems getting the embalming fluid through the body of many. Like Hirschman, this embalmer pulled out long, white, stretchy, fibrous clots, which O’Looney described as having the consistency of calamari.

A Canadian embalmer, whose identity is concealed, reports finding them in 100% of the bodies embalmed over the past year. These clots are not blood clots. They’re white, stringy, stretchy, fibrous structures, but they appear to “feed” on, or grow from, blood clots attached to the ends of them. “And they are massive,” the embalmer says.

The structures take the shape of the vessel they’re forming in, starting off as a tube-shape, like a second lining inside the vessel, and over time fill in, eventually forming a massive blockage.

Aside from heart damage, which we now know is a rather common side effect of the COVID shots, it appears these fibrous structures growing in the arteries and veins of people are another reason for why people are dying suddenly. As they grow larger, they block blood flow, resulting in death.

Other Blood-Related Anomalies

Mysterious structures in the circulatory system is not the only medical mystery that has embalmers concerned. Hirschman also noticed that some deceased have “dirty blood” — small as-yet unidentified particles that look like fine grains of sand, coffee grounds or rust particles.

These are concerning, as they can enter into and accumulate in capillaries, starving tissues and organs of the oxygen they need. Embalmer Nicky Rupright King describes another similar, yet slightly different, phenomenon. The consistency of blood is different. It’s sticky. She describes the action of the blood on the table as “blood on beach sand.”

Yet another embalmer, whose identity is concealed, describes blood mysteriously separating into a clear liquid with pools or clots of blood in it. (For more information about the potential mechanisms behind this, see A Midwestern Doctor’s critique of the film.⁴) In other cases, the blood congeals into a jelly-like substance. Needless to say, your body cannot function if your blood is like jelly.

As noted by Hirschman, the reason his and other embalmers’ testimony is so important is because people who die are rarely autopsied, so the embalmers are the only people who get to see these anomalies.

Something Beyond Catastrophic Is Happening

As noted by Lt. Col. Dr. Theresa Long, a U.S. Army flight surgeon and whistleblower, insurance companies predict that if something truly catastrophic occurred in the U.S., we could expect a 10% increase in all-cause mortality.

In the third quarter of 2021, OneAmerica, a national mutual life insurance company based in Indianapolis, reported that the all-cause death rate of working-age Americans (18 to 64) was 40% higher than prepandemic levels, and these deaths are not related to COVID-19.⁵

As noted by Long, no modeling or calculations have ever been done to account for such a massive increase in all-cause mortality. “It’s apocalyptic,” she says.

In her career as an Army flight surgeon, she also has never before seen such a litany of health problems among soldiers. After the rollout of the COVID shots, soldiers started having strokes, heart attacks, myocarditis, rapid onset cancer, multiple sclerosis, cognitive impairment, miscarriages and much more, at unprecedented rates.

Long suspects that the COVID shots were developed as a lethal weapon, and that they’re doing exactly what they were designed to do. She fears the United States won’t have a standing army five years from now, thanks to the effects of these shots, which were forced onto every rank within the military.

Army Data Reveal Shocking Truth

When Long’s concerns were ignored, she, along with Lt. Col. Dr. Peter Chambers, another Army whistleblower, contacted attorney Thomas Renz. They shared with him data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED),⁶ one of the most well-kept and most heavily-relied upon medical databases in the world.

The data showed that, compared to the previous five-year averages, miscarriages were up 279% among Department of Defense (DOD) personnel in 2021, breast cancer went up 487%, nervous system disorders 1,048%, male infertility 350%, female infertility 471%, ovarian dysfunction 437%. The list goes on.

As noted by Renz during U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s “COVID-19: A Second Opinion” panel (see video below):⁷

“The Whistleblower data, this DMED database, has provided a control group of sorts. It’s military records dating back several years that supply medical codes for various medical issues that our military face such as cancers, miscarriages, neurological disorders etc.

These records provided by three military doctors … show a historical baseline of what the health of the American military was like before 2021, the year the COVID vaccine was released. What you see is quite disturbing.

From 2016 to 2020 all variations of medical conditions stay consistent. But in 2021, when the variable of the vaccine is mandated, the spike in cancers, miscarriages, infertility, you name it, jumps by factors of hundreds to thousands of percent.

Let me be crystal clear. These vaccines are injuring and sometimes even killing our military, and those in the public that are buying the ‘safe and effective’ marketing. These numbers prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.”

Johnson put the DOD on notice, demanding these data be preserved and analyzed. But instead, the exact opposite happened. Within 24 hours, the database was taken offline, allegedly to “identify and correct” a supposed data corruption problem, and when it came back, the data had been altered to hide these glaringly obvious safety signals.⁸ Someone inside the DOD intentionally destroyed one of the best health databases in the world. Why?

The Sudden Cancer Explosion

The original DMED data showed cancers tripled among servicemen and their family members after the rollout of the COVID shots. Exploding cancer rates are also seen elsewhere. One of the first to warn that the shots might cause cancer was Dr. Ryan Cole.

He believes the shots are primarily accelerating already existing cancers, by way of immune dysregulation.⁹ He noticed that cancers that could normally be controlled and kept in check, giving the patient several years of quality life, once they got the COVID jab, the cancer would suddenly grow out of control and rapidly lead to death.

Swedish pathologist, researcher and senior physician at Lund’s University, Dr. Ute Kruger, has also observed an explosion in rapidly advancing cancers in the wake of the COVID shots. For example, she’s noticed:^10,11

• Cancer patients are getting younger — The largest increase is among 30- to 50-year-olds
• Tumor sizes are dramatically larger — Historically, 3-centimeter tumors were commonly found at the time of cancer diagnosis. Now, the tumors they’re finding are regularly 4 to 12 centimeters, which suggests they’re growing at a much faster rate than normal
• Multiple tumors in multiple organs are becoming more common
• Recurrence and metastasis are increasing — Kruger points out that many of the cancer patients she’s seeing have been in remission for years, only to suddenly be beset with uncontrollable cancer growth and metastasis shortly after their COVID jab

These “turbo-cancers,” as Kruger calls them, cannot be explained by delayed cancer screenings due to lockdowns and other COVID restrictions, as those days are long gone. Patients, despite having access to medical screenings as in years past, are showing up with grossly exacerbated tumor growths, and she believes this is because the cancers are being “turbo-charged” by the mRNA jabs.

The Great Reset Is a Depopulation Plan

In June 2020, World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab and Prince Charles formally announced the launch of The Great Reset,¹² a eugenicist movement built on the Malthusian premise of global depopulation, thinly veiled under the catch term “sustainable development.”

While most people think of things like recycling, green energy and circular economies when they hear “sustainable development,” the sustainability of world resources is dependent on depopulation.

In the Malthusian equation, you cannot sustain life on planet earth unless you control the population size. So, everything marketed under the banner of sustainable development is part of a eugenics agenda. It’s about depopulation.

In his book, “COVID-19: The Great Reset,” Schwab describes how the pandemic serves as the springboard for a global reset into the sustainable system he and his allies have so long envisioned and worked toward.

We know that adherents to Malthusian principles and long-time eugenicist proponents such as Gates and Schwab have had a hand in planning and directing the pandemic response, which just so happens to focus on a wholly unethical marketing campaign of these experimental COVID shots that are now killing perfectly healthy people and driving birth rates off a cliff. Coincidence?

In the End, Plausible Deniability Will Not Be an Option

As noted by Steve Kirsch, government regulators, those at the very top who bear the ultimate responsibility for making sure these COVID shots are safe, are actively and intentionally refusing to look at the safety data. Why? Because they want plausible deniability. If everything falls apart, they expect to have the chance to say they were unaware. Data were withheld from them. They didn’t know. The data weren’t clear, and so on.

Well, believe me, there will be no plausible deniability for any of these people. Kirsch has personally ensured that part. He contacted nearly 300 people within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, asking them if they would like to review crucial safety data obtained from Israel. Not a single person replied. They all ignored him.

He has offered $1 million to any health official willing to sit down with him, on camera, to review and discuss the data. None has accepted his offer. He then said they could name their price. What would it take to get someone from the CDC or Food and Drug Administration to sit down and simply review the data, on air? There were no takers.

Kirsch pursued Dr. Grace Lee, chair of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the highest representative for vaccine safety in the nation, by phone, email and text.

Finally, he went to her home. When she didn’t answer the door, he left a handwritten note taped to her door, asking if she would be willing to look at the Israeli data showing causality between the COVID shots and systemic injuries. She called the police on him. There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that Lee will be able to claim plausible deniability.

Fertility Has Fallen Off a Cliff

In addition to increasing the death rate, the COVID shots are also lowering birth rates. Infertility in both men and women is up. Miscarriages are up. Premature births are up and neonatal deaths are up. Whistleblowers in the film include Michelle Gershon, a registered nurse at a postpartum ward in a major hospital in Fresno, California, and OBGYN Dr. James Thorp, who has been in practice for 43 years.

Gershon blew the whistle when she received an email from the hospital administration stating there had been 22 fetal demises in August 2022, and that fetal demises were projected to increase, month over month. Normally, they would see between one and two fetal demises every two to three months.

Thorp points out that during his career, the number of stillbirths in the U.S. came down from about 10 to 5.8 per 1,000. In 2020, the rate of stillbirths at Gershon’s hospital suddenly started climbing skyward, in 2021 hitting 29.3 per 1,000 — a 40+ sigma standard deviation from the norm. The mathematical probability of this occurring is zero %.

Data from a Canadian hospital is even worse. They’re now at 41.5 fetal demises per 1,000, a 71.4 standard deviation increase. Thorp also reports a 1,200-fold increase in menstrual abnormalities, and a substantial increase in horrific birth defects. He’s also seeing fetuses having heart attacks in the womb.

The thing is, Pfizer’s own trial data revealed shocking outcomes for pregnant women. Out of 274 pregnancy cases, only one birth was reported as normal. Pfizer and the FDA tried to hide the trial data upon which the shots were authorized for 75 years, but were forced by a judge to release them.

Meanwhile, the CDC claims the COVID jab is safe for pregnant women and their babies, and that no safety signals exist. Why did the FDA and Pfizer want to keep the data secret for 75 years? Why is the CDC claiming the complete opposite of what the data show? Is it because depopulation is an expected and desired outcome of the shots?

Across the world, live births have plummeted since the rollout of the shots. Most countries report decreases between 10% and 15%, such as Germany, Norway, Greece, Finland, Sweden and England. Taiwan’s decline is around 23%. Australia, for some reason, has far surpassed everyone else in this regard, reporting a shocking 72% decline in live births, nine months after the COVID jab campaign began.¹³

What We’re Seeing Are Intended Outcomes

Speaking of the COVID shots, Long says:

“It’s my professional medical opinion that this is a bioweapon, and that this was a bioweapon unleashed against humanity with the intent to depopulate and control the population of the world.”

Dr. Peter McCullough agrees. “It’s achieving its goal,” he says. “If the goal was to reduce the world’s population, it’s working.” O’Looney adds:

“This was well-planned. This is Agenda 2030. This is The Great Reset. This is what it’s all about. One of the hardest things about knowing what I know is accepting that people are going to die, because they’re not going to believe it …

This is probably the most Biblical event anyone could imagine. This is World War III. This is spiritual war — good against evil. And I just hope there’s enough good in the world that we can rally to defeat it, because if we don’t, this will destroy humanity.”
