The book “Cause Unknown” by Edward Dowd is a compelling analysis that uses a analytical approach to investigate an alarming increase in death rates during the pandemic years, not directly attributable to COVID-19. A fascinating work of research and revelation, this book challenges the prevailing narrative and encourages us to question, explore, and critically evaluate the events surrounding the pandemic.

Edward Dowd, a finance professional, brings his analytical prowess to the table and presents a wealth of documentation to support his thesis. He notes, “From February 2021 to March 2022, millennials experienced the equivalent of a Vietnam war, with more than 60,000 excess deaths. The Vietnam war took 12 years to kill the same number of healthy young people we’ve just seen die in 12 months.”

What’s striking about Dowd’s approach is his refrain from drawing definitive conclusions. Instead, he encourages readers to delve into the data, dive into the evidence, and shape their own understanding about this puzzling increase in mortality rates. This approach is both empowering and daunting, as it underscores the importance of informed and active citizenry in unraveling complex societal issues.

“Cause Unknown” is undoubtedly a book that deserves attention, but it’s likely to face challenges in reaching a broad audience, primarily due to its potentially controversial stance. Some might prematurely dismiss it as anti-vaccine propaganda. I hope this is not the case, as the book offers valuable insights and raises important questions about the management of the pandemic and the ensuing public health responses.

As someone who is fully vaccinated and believed in the importance of doing my part to help end the pandemic, I found my perspective challenged by this book. As the dust began to settle, I began to question the official narrative and the actions of those in charge of our safety. This sense of unease and frustration is likely to resonate with many readers.

“Cause Unknown” is a testament to the importance of questioning, of digging deeper, and of refusing to accept information at face value. It reminds us that questioning is not the same as dismissing – indeed, it’s a vital part of being a responsible citizen. It’s a call to action to break free from the tribalism and unchecked worldviews that divide us and to be critical consumers of information.

In our quest for truth and accountability, we need to be aware of the forces that seek to manipulate narratives for their own gain. Dowd’s book equips us with the tools and the mindset to do just that. Whether you align with his perspective or not, “Cause Unknown” is a valuable contribution to the conversation about the pandemic years and their impact on our society. It’s a call for vigilance, for accountability, and for the power of informed questioning as we navigate the post-pandemic world.
