The good news: death rates have now fallen far below normal. The bad news: only in Bulgaria.

Bulgaria is good at counting its dead.

The country’s National Statistical Institute compiles death figures weekly and releases them in English once a month.

They tell a story that mRNA jab advocates may not want to hear.

Bulgaria has very low Covid vaccination rates, likely because generations of Communist misrule left Bulgarians deeply suspicious of government promises of miracle cures.

And Covid hit Bulgaria hard from late 2020 through early 2022. The epidemic tore through unhealthy middle-income Eastern European countries, and Bulgaria has rates of smoking, obesity, and cardiovascular disease that are off the charts. Its Covid death rate was more than double that of Western European countries like Spain, and its overall mortality rate higher still.

But now the epidemic is over. And deaths in Bulgaria are plunging – not just to normal, but well below it.
