From Stats🇨🇦 weekly death counts by cause of death:
In Ontario, AB and BC, "Ill-defined & unspecified causes of death" have been rising in sync with C19 vaccine dose administration.
NOTE: correlation only (but troubling). @PublicHealthON should investigate possible causation👇
Here is Alberta (cc: @AHS_media):
Here is BC. Less pronounced than Ontario and Alberta. Note: a large spike of deaths (600) was removed for the week ending July 3rd, 2021 as these may have been heat-wave related (same week).
I stress the above only suggests correlation and not necessarily causation. Causation should be investigated as correlations are troubling. Death counts are provisional & subject to change. Other provinces don't have material deaths in this category. Full '17-21 death data:
This analysis was inspired by @Milhouse_Van_Ho's great work today analyzing the same StatsCan data on all-cause mortality by cause of death. Note the 2021 increase in "ill-defined and unspecified causes of death".

StatsCan uses the WHO definition of "Other ill-defined and unspecified deaths", here: icd.who.int/browse10/2019/…
