Yes, and this week's release of 55,000 pages, one document was the list of known side effects and it was 10 pages long. If it wasn't for the emergency approval expedited route no way would that drug ever have been approved.
instead it's been made mandatory to tens of millions of people and injected into hundreds of millions of people.

Study finds Office for National Statistics is deliberately hiding Covid Vaccine Deaths

BY ON MARCH 4, 2022 • ( 9 COMMENTS )Listen Now

A new paper highlights a newly discovered “alarming source of bias or potential corruption” in the Office for National Statistics (ONS) COVID-19 Vaccine Surveillance report. This has led the authors of the paper to conclude that the ONS should publicly withdraw their dataset and they call for the retraction of any claims made by others that are based upon it.

The ONS report is tasked with providing the reported deaths after vaccination data for the whole of 2021, however, they have been said to have displayed systematic undercounting of both covid and non-covid totaled deaths occurring within the first two weeks of Covid-19 vaccination.

The Paper

The paper published on the 3rd of March 2022, highlights that when comparing the published covid deaths for England as a whole against those in the ONS dataset for covid deaths the bias is evident according to the authors.

These authors are the trusted names now familiar to most of us, including Doctors. Claire Craig – Martin Neil , Norman Fenton, McLachlan, Smalley Guetzkow, Engler, Russell, and Rose, and in the acknowledgments, they mention that the paper has also “benefited from the input of senior clinicians and other researchers who remain anonymous to protect their careers.” (Reflecting the sad fascistic reality of these last two years where experts speaking the factual truth can result in dismissals, doctors being struck off and vilification).

The Office for National Statistics

According to Craig et al, the Office for National Statistics has been under pressure to release a dataset of deaths after vaccination, Although ONS had at first promised a release of this data in March 2021, they did not release any data until six months later and since then there have been updates in November 2021, December 2021 and February 2022 <source>.

The reason for the pressure on the ONS to release this data is most likely with the intent to reassure the public that vaccination had caused no harm. Nevertheless, in order to provide that reassurance the accuracy of any data purporting to show covid 19 vaccine effectiveness or safety is critically dependent on the accuracy of four measurements:

  • People classified as having the disease;
  • Vaccination status;
  • Reported deaths; and
  • The population of vaccinated and unvaccinated (the so called ‘denominators’).

Errors in any of these could undermine claims of vaccine effectiveness or safety, yet, anomalies have been previously identified in the UK Government’s ONS deaths by vaccination status data (ONS dataset) -specifically that some deaths occurring shortly after vaccination are being wrongly classified as unvaccinated deaths.

Therefore, further problems have been identified in the current report that appears to explain anomalies in the ONS data: the total deaths reported by ONS are significantly lower than should be expected compared to other government datasets, even allowing for the fact that the ONS use only a subset of the population.

The Analysis

A thorough investigation of the rise in non-covid mortality of the unvaccinated which coincides with peak vaccine rollout in each separate age category has been shown to be compatible with a data lag or data miscategorisation <source>. Some (including ONS themselves) claimed the explanation was a “healthy vaccinee” effect. What they found through this analysis was that the data does not support this “healthy vaccinee” effect, This is for two reasons:

  • First, because the proportion of the unvaccinated population considered to be in poor health fell during the vaccination rollout and remained low even after the unvaccinated population fell to only a small number.
  • Second, the same spike in mortality in the unvaccinated was observed when looking only at deaths of those in very poor health.

The ONS Bias

The Craig et al, analysis, combined data from other data sources, including ONS data on total weekly registered death counts <source>, and from the UKHSA NIMS data on numbers vaccinated <source>, in order to estimate and compare the mortality pattern in the whole population of England against the ONS dataset.

Undercounted – They found that the scale of undercounting is equivalent to the number of deaths that would have been expected to have occurred within the two-week period immediately after vaccination. Only those deaths that occurred during the third-week post-vaccination match historical expected non-covid death counts and concurrent covid death counts, this is true across the age groups 60-69, 70-79, and 80+.

——-


Missing Millions of vaccinated Deaths – Additionally comparing the population in the ONS dataset and the UKHSA vaccination dataset, NIMS (National Immunisation Management System) <source> they found evidence that the population that appears in the ONS dataset is missing millions of people categorised as within 21 days of first dose vaccination, that are present in the NIMS dataset.

The number missing exceeds what would be expected based on the proportion of the whole population not included in the sample. These biases appear to be systematic and cover covid and non-covid deaths.

The death counts registered for England were also compared <Source> with the ONS dataset and it was found that 13,593 deaths were missing from the ONS dataset(taking account for the fact that the ONS use only a subset of the population).

The mortality rate in the vaccinated and unvaccinated population omitted from the dataset is disproportionately high when compared to historical norms, whilst that reported for the vaccinated are disproportionately low, as previously reported in >.

In summary, three new key pieces of evidence suggest that the ONS failed to accurately report deaths and omitted deaths that occurred within two weeks of vaccination:

So through simply comparing the ONS dataset expected historical mortality rate, as published by the ONS, with the mortality rates published in the ONS dataset for 2021, for non-covid deaths”, it appeared to be clear that the ONS data reported that deaths of both non- covid and covid deaths respectively for the “within 21 days of first dose vaccination” category tally almost perfectly with the number of deaths that would be expected should they have occurred in the third week alone? Hmm, strange that…

Even stranger when considering that the ONS also seem to have completely omitted two weeks of post-first vaccination deaths from their dataset.

Could it be a reporting lag or errors in the transcription or handing of data? Well, that would be saying the ONS are not too good at doing the job that they are tasked to do.

Whilst you’ve been distracted by Russia’s invasion, the UK Gov. published data confirming the Fully Vaccinated are now up to 3.2x more likely to die of Covid-19 than the Unvaccinated

BY ON MARCH 4, 2022 • ( 37 COMMENTS )
Listen Now

The latest data published by the UK Health Security Agency confirms fully vaccinated individuals in England are up to 3.2 times more likely to die of Covid-19 than unvaccinated individuals based on Covid-19 death-rates per 100,000 population.

This means, based on Pfizer’s vaccine efficacy formula, that the Covid-19 injections are now proving to have a negative real-world effectiveness against death as low as minus-222%.



Four Million Doses Required to Prevent a Single ICU Admission

An astounding statistic Jenkins does bring up is that 4 million doses must be administered to children, 5 to 11 years of age, to prevent a single ICU admission in this age group. Assuming two doses per child, that means 2 million children must take their chances with serious and potentially lifelong side effects to prevent a single child from requiring intensive care due to COVID-19. How is this justified? As explained in Jenkins’ website:

“JCVI has said that vaccination of children aged 5 to 11 years who are not in a clinical risk group would prevent a relatively small number of hospitalizations or intensive care admissions. For a variant like Omicron, it would take around four million vaccine doses to two million children to prevent one admission to ICU.

For less severe illnesses, 58,000 child vaccinations would prevent one-child hospitalization. Children admitted recently to hospital with COVID had an average length of stay of 1-2 days. The Omicron wave saw no more children in hospital than before Omicron hit the UK.”

Myocarditis: COVID-19 is a much bigger risk to the heart than vaccination



Based on a study out of Israel, the risk of post-vaccine myocarditis is 2.13 cases per 100,000 vaccinated, which is within the range usually seen in the general population.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of myocarditis after infection with COVID-19 is much higher, at 146 cases per 100,000.


Big difference 2 vs 146

And would be interesting to see if they count "after covid" as meaning breakthrough cases, where people got myocarditis after getting the vaccine, instead they count it as after covid and ignore the fact that it was a breakthrough case, not an unvaccinated person getting myocarditis 

There is much confusion in the numbers as well as they counted people who got covid within 14 days of vaccine and they counted that person as "unvaccinated" because they said vaccination is only post 14 days.

All in how they slice the data...

An Anti-Vax Judge Is Preventing the Navy From Deploying a Warship

Admirals are desperate to remove an insubordinate anti-vaxxer from command of a guided-missile destroyer. A judge won’t let them.

BY MARK JOSEPH STERN MARCH 04, 20225:09 PM

This situation is untenable. Already, a Texas judge, abetted by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, has freed nearly three dozen SEALs from the vaccine mandate, a decision that high-ranking officers say will put the world at risk. Now Merryday is holding back a warship from deployment—and the judicial resistance to military mandate is just beginning. These cases are on a fast-track to the Supreme Court. If the justices do not confirm that judges must respect the commander-in-chief’s lawful orders, thousands of other service members like Doe will unleash chaos on the armed forces.

Video: Nothing to see here folks, just the Australian Health Official now admitting that the vaccinated are dying from Myocarditis


seems kind of matter of fact, yup, just another thing we are tracking. 


I’m not convinced by the new lab leak debunking

It’s still an open question

Matthew Yglesias
Mar 3

In 2014, a team of Chinese scientists published a paper (“Novel Henipa-like Virus, Mojiang Paramyxovirus, in Rats, China, 2012”) that covers an incident in which “severe pneumonia without a known cause was diagnosed in 3 persons who had been working in an abandoned mine; all 3 patients died. Half a year later, we investigated the presence of novel zoonotic pathogens in natural hosts in this cave.” Later, a team from the Wuhan Institute of Virology went back to the cave in Mojiang and published the 2016 paper “Coexistence of multiple coronaviruses in several bat colonies in an abandoned mineshaft,” a study of a bunch of betacoronaviruses they found in bats in the mine.

It’s thanks to the hard work and diligent efforts of those WIV researchers that we know about Bat RaTG13. But this work also offers an explanation for how a bat virus could have traveled 700 miles from rural Yunnan to Wuhan: it was transported years ago by virus researchers.

So did the virus travel from Yunnan to Hubei a second time in an unrelated voyage, this time bound for the seafood market rather than the virus lab? Or did it travel from the lab to the market?

I don’t think the new papers shed much light on this at all.

What Will Our Covid Future Be Like? Here Are Two Signs to Look Out For.
Even before Omicron swept across the world, scientists and public health officials pondered how Covid-19 would continue to affect society once the pandemic phase was behind us. It is the trillion-dollar question: Will outbreaks occur several times a year, once a year or every few years? And how much sickness and disease will those outbreaks produce?

Epidemiologists refer to the persistence of a pathogen in a community or population as endemicity. How endemicity manifests varies from pathogen to pathogen. In the United States, some respiratory viruses, such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus, also known as R.S.V., are much more abundant during winter. These viruses regularly exact a toll on society in lost work, strained health care systems and deaths. An estimated 12,000 to 52,000 people die of the flu each year in the United States.

Yet not all respiratory viruses follow this pattern; some, such as rhinovirus, circulate year-round at lower levels and with less disruption to human health. Others, such as parainfluenza, may produce outbreaks more erratically or during other seasons.

So what will the pattern look like for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, once it becomes endemic? And how much disruption will it cause? The short answer is: We don’t know yet. The endemic pattern of any disease is more easily understood retrospectively, and the coronavirus has been with us for only about two years. However, there are signs and factors that we can all watch for, which provide indications of how Covid-19 will affect our lives in the seasons and years to come. Those signs are worth discussing and bookmarking in our brains as we move toward a more normal, functioning society. (...)
