x2.5 cardiac arrest Deaths vs. expected, age 40-50
During 2021-2022, age group 40-50 exhibited x2.5 cardiac arrest Deaths vs. expected (2017-2020 avg., in Red). Cardiac arrest Events jumped x2 vs. expected (2017-2020 avg., in Blue).

2018 - 3 deaths.
2019 - 4 deaths.
2020 - 8 deaths.

2022 - 9 deaths.
2022 spikes in cardiac arrest events only occurred in vaccinated
The most alarming signals are the peaks on March and May 2022, which only appear in the vaccinated. On January 2022 the second booster was approved in Israel. Already on February the ratio between events in the two groups shifts from 1:2.4 (Jan.) to 1:5.7 (Feb.)
Additionally, On December 2022, out of 24 cardiac arrest events, 23 were in vaccinated people.
*Note: A vaccinated individual is anyone who received at least one dose of Covid19 vaccine. No status-change occurred because of the booster shots.
Extraordinary correlation between cardiac arrest deaths in 40-50 age group, all-cause mortality peaks, and vaccination timeline
Defibrillator campaign successful
Looking at the 40-50 age group, 2020 showed an extraordinarily low cardiac arrest survival rate (11% survival rate).
National Defibrillator Day (1) (2), Where’s Defi? interactive map, and the Shared Defibrillator project were all part of the national campaign to deploy public defibrillators and increase awareness in 2021-2022 (3) (4) (5) (6).
2021-2022 showed a higher survival rate (18% - 44%) possibly due to the successful campaign and also due to higher engagement in CPR once the peak of the pandemic has passed.
MOH: “No data”
An earlier FOIA revealed that the Israeli Ministry Of Health does not have data regarding cardiac arrest events for 2021-2022. They are waiting for the Central Bureau of Statistics to send them the data.
