Republican State Representative Heidi Sampson's Democrat colleagues also shot down her order to nullify WHO's now-failed pandemic treaty authority that surrenders state's rights to the United Nations "health" agency in the event of a future pandemic or "climate emergency."

Democrats in Maine have stepped in and shut down an investigation by Republican lawmakers into the state's spike in excess deaths.

Republican State Rep. Heidi Sampson (R-Alfred) is raising the alarm over Maine's surging excess deaths.

Sampson warns that the state has suffered an alarming "silent epidemic."

She revealed that data shows that excess deaths are now 18% higher than they were in 2020.

Specifically, the state has seen a surge in sudden deaths among young and middle-aged adults with no known previous illness.

However, Sampson revealed that the state's Democrat lawmakers "shrugged their shoulders" when she proposed investigating the deaths.

Alarmingly, she warns that Democrats have stymied her effort to investigate the issue.

After growing increasingly concerned about the soaring excess since the pandemic, Sampson tried to bring the issue to the Maine House of Representatives in March.

Sampson compiled Maine's all-cause mortality data for 2015-2022.

The data was analyzed by a statistician.

The lawmaker warned her colleagues that Maine has suffered an 18% increase in excess deaths among 25- to 64-year-olds since 2020.

She also cited the CEO of the One America insurance company, J. Scott Davison.
