Steve Connolly, an Iraq War combat veteran, was horrified by all the death and dying around him — not in the Iraq killing fields, but in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings starting in 2021, after the COVID-19 vaccines rolled out.
Connolly, a 61-year-old disabled vet and retired social worker who cared for the most severe and violent mentally ill patients in Massachusetts, said the formerly routine AA meetings became scenes of more suffering and carnage than he’d ever witnessed in war or among “the worst of the worst” in mental hospitals.
“In all of my time, I’ve never seen this many people that I know dropping dead in this span of time,” Connolly said.
Verne was in his 70s, relatively healthy and stable, Connolly said, “coughing on a Sunday, dead on Monday.” Big Rob was in his 30s, a little obese, and “died from myocarditis.”
Allie was in her 30s, a heavy girl, but healthy. “She got the jab, then had serious gallbladder issues and had it removed. She was found dead when she didn’t show up for work.”
A physician in AA, known as Dr. Michael, debated Connolly about the jab. “I tried to explain it to him. He didn’t believe me. Two weeks later, he got the booster. He died from a heart attack a few days later. Then they killed my friend, and I started to investigate.”
In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Connolly relayed how, driven by anger and pain over the unexplained scourge of deaths, he pored over “thousands and thousands and thousands” of obituaries and discovered that deaths reported as “suddenly” or “unexpectedly” on legacy.com obits soared more than 62% across the U.S. after the rollout of the mRNA vaccines.

Connolly’s data trove, assembled with the help of Massachusetts systems engineer and vaccine-death investigator John Beaudoin Sr., matches to a remarkable degree the unprecedented rise in U.S. excess deaths and disabilities in government data reported by former BlackRock hedge-fund manager Edward Dowd, Dr. Pierre Kory and others, Kory said.
Kory, president of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance who treats COVID-19-vaccine-injured patients in his practice, has written extensively calling for the government, insurance companies, public health officials and major media to acknowledge and investigate the catastrophic health crisis of excess deaths and disabilities striking not just the U.S. but all countries where the vaccines were rolled out on a massive scale.
Kory last week discovered Connolly’s data, published in August 2023 on Beaudoin’s Substack, Coquin de Chien’s Newsletter (French for “Naughty Dog”), and wrote about it on his Substack.
“For those of us already fully aware of the massive excess deaths caused by the mRNA vaccines, it is difficult to be impressed with new data sources proving same,” Kory wrote.
“I thought the EMS data I posted yesterday was shocking,” Kory wrote. But Connolly’s “charts of his findings are beyond compelling and deserve wider sharing.”
Asked by The Defender to quantify the significance of Connolly’s data, Kory — who was a highly published University of Wisconsin-Madison professor of pulmonary critical care medicine and ran the intensive care units at two of the world’s top academic medical centers — said, “I would just say that, like all the other sources revealing such a tight temporal association, this also leads to no other explanation but the vaccines as the principal driver of the excess mortality.”
“It’s uncanny,” Connolly said. “I go to an AA meeting every day and people are dying around me, people I know and don’t know. Almost every meeting has new people talking about their relatives dying or having a stroke or another ailment like Guillain-Barré [syndrome] or heart attack. It’s unusual now that a medical event hasn’t befallen someone.”
When he hears the tragic stories, Connolly said, “I just point to my arm with my finger.”
Connolly, who lives in Hubbardston (pop. 4,300) in central Massachusetts, served two tours with the U.S. Army in Iraq and 13 years with the National Guard. Sober for 26 years, he relapsed after his second tour in Iraq and battled alcoholism for eight years but has been sober since Aug. 21, 2020…
