This is all we ever got out of the "vaccine" gene therapy. A very modest improvement in the severity of a disease that killed almost no one in the first place, and would probably have killed next to nobody if we had focused on treatment. For this, we brought down the boot of authoritarianism and economic ruin on a generation.

And after a bit of antigenic drift, the "modest improvement" is likely to flip the other way and the vaccine will be more dangerous than not.

Unfortunately it will be a few years before most of this dawns on most people and we have to bide our time in a world of gaslit insanity until then.

El Gato thank you as ever for all your incredible hard work.

My mum (84, early stage Alzheimers & dementia but no other underlying serious co-morbidities) died suddenly on Monday. When I got to the care home on the day, the first thing they told me was that the NHS had gone in on Friday & vaccinated all the residents with the 3rd covid (Pfizer my mum will likely have had) vaccine. I hold full health and welfare power of attorney because she didn't have capacity. No-one told me and no-one asked my permission. It doesn't matter what medical procedure it was - this wilful ignoring of POA and giving a medical procedure to someone without capacity & therefore in the absence of informed consent - is unacceptable.

Spoke to the GP who agrees a yellow card report needs submitting & will do it, & he also said that as there is no underlying medical reason for sudden death (she didn't smoke or drink & had no heart disease) there will have to be a post mortem and (quite rightly) he is unable to provide an interim death certificate.

Her death may or may not be linked to this third vaccine, we will hopefully get answers after the post mortem. However - they won't have used aspiration to check that they didn't hit a blood vessel (I know this because I forced them to do it when I very reluctantly had the second AZ - under coercion because I needed to travel internationally). Not aspirating increases the risk of hitting a blood vessel & this has been shown to increase risk of adverse effects:

I tweeted briefly about this on Monday (focusing mainly on the shocking lack of compliance with the power of attorney & not saying one way or another what I believe cause of death to be - because of course we won't possibly know until the post mortem is done) and had my first ever tweet in 13 years go viral (89,000) impressions. By far most of the responses were sympathetic but sadly yesterday it got picked up by zealots and I received a lot of abuse. Including from someone who claimed to be an NHS consultant and who repeatedly stated I was obviously making up the death of my mother! Even after I replied providing details of questions & information the funeral director was discussing with me yesterday (sensitive information that is not publicly disclosed & you only know if you are bereaved & working with the funeral director) they weren't having it & continued to abuse me. I was so upset I deleted my account on the bad tempered blue avian site.

I have my own perfectly reasonable reasons for anonymity on social media & substacks (as I'm sure our maestro El Gato does!) - yet the trolls just persist in screaming that, ergo; everything one says is therefore untrue.

Your analysis is always so good, but your analogies are even better. I will be incorporating shark attacks in IL into my discussions with friends and family. Hopefully you won’t require a licensing fee. I do promise to attribute it to this surly feline that I follow.

One thing absolutely everyone needs to be accustomed to doing is taking with a grain of salt any information reported that either:

-Discloses only relative numbers without the magnitude, or

-Discloses only the magnitude but no relative/context

You need both.

That study from Kentucky a couple months back, which the CDC tried to use to shill vaccines for the naturally immune, made much of the 2.34x increased likelihood of reinfection if you don't get vaccinated... nowhere to be found was the absolute risk reduction. It is hard to attribute that to innocent oversight. And that doesn't even go into failure to confirm via sequencing, symptomatic vs. asymptomatic, likelihood of severe infection...

>>note that, oddly, there seems to be no accounting for the 14 days post dose 2. it seems not to be tracked or broken out and i’m really not sure where that data goes (if anywhere).

I actually learned about this in research methodology class aeons ago.

It goes in the "circular file," which is where you're supposed to put data that does not support your position.

Hope this helps.

On the first graph (covid cases per 100k) the vertical axis caption is wrong. It says deaths when it should say cases.

The way the narrative pushers are touting the vaccine benefits for everyone is beyond the pale. As a healthy 48 year old when the pandemic started I felt that by summer of 2020 I had a good grasp of the threat covid posed to me. It was a number I could live with. Nothing has changed since then.

Any degree of improvement on my chance of dying doesn't change the small chance it was to begin with. I shake my head at all the news articles claiming vaccinated are 10-12 times less likely to die. Who cares. My chance is small without the vaccine, so why would I want to inject myself with a vaccine who's safety data profile is so muddled and new that it's hard to grasp what my chances are of incurring short or long term negative side effects. All for the benefit of a few extra chances in a thousand of not dying? Hard pass.

The Biden White House is preparing to mass vaccinate 5-11 yos. We already know what the fda will say for the eua and parents will run to it. We are living in frightening times ! What can be done? I feel so helpless.

Another good but infuriating article. When you mention how messy and skewed towards the vaccines the data is, it brings to mind my own school district, where we have to vaccinate or submit to weekly testing, and our health department has specifically said, "don't test the vaccinated, don't contact trace the vaccinated, and don't even tell us if there is a case of breakthrough infection." But for the unvaccinated, they are requiring you report your name, address, phone number, gender, racial grouping, age and test result each week, even if the test is negative. Some brilliant public health policy here in Michigan.

It’s not medical malpractice, it’s something far worse.

Great work, Gato.

Boy, this is a muddy mess of data about to get worse. Will now have prior infection, primary vaccination with one of the three vaccines (and incomplete 2 shot series), mixed and matched boosters (and those that don't get a booster) as well as prior infection status all as variables.

Quite a rubiks cube that will only help the powers that be. Any attempt to argue against vaccination will deal with a swirling headwind of terrible data.

Great stuff. One must consider the social dynamics in why people are pushing vaccines. They don't stop spread (we know that) and they're obviously not useful for kids, teens and really 20-somethings at all, but that doesn't really matter in that they are a demonstration of "doing anything at all to protect elites." https://empathy.guru/2021/08/22/elite-risk-minimization-and-covid-empathy-in-the-time-of-coronavirus-ix/

Are the "donut hole" people being lumped into the category of "Received one dose, > 21 days before specimen date" as if the second dose simply doesn't count as a dose until the 14 days have elapsed? That would be tricky bordering on maniacal, but maybe it would also explain the high positive test rates among the "partially vaxxed", due to the 14 day worry window.

I am 64 and healthy. When I read the jabs contain PEG, I already decided this was not for me. Years ago I worked in the lab and read the fact sheets. The chemist told me then already that PEGs should not be used. I avoid them in shampoos. They are made of very poisonous, explosive and flammable gasses and this spring I read a consumer article, that states half of the tested shampoos still contained remnants of the poisonous components. And have that jabbed into my arm? No way. Both Pfizer and Moderna have the PEG, JandJ has another variety, but it is a PEG too. I will trust my godgiven body to fight it if I get it. Hell I might already have gotten it! So many people seem to get it and only have a cold or very mild flu.

I remember some people trying to give me absolute hell for pointing out absolute risk reductions versus relative risk in the data for initial EUA approval. In the entire 45,000 or so in the study, maybe a single digit percentage was potentially exposed during the course of the study. That left an awful lot of people with no true benefit.

So then we do have to factor in time. We can assume that over time more people will be exposed to weren't exposed in the initial time period of the study. The catch-22 here is the waiting efficacy of the vaccine. It would be reasonable to assume that a large chunk of the people in the study would never actually benefit from the vaccine because they were never exposed before the efficacy wanes.

CDC data seems to be showing significantly more cases per 100K for unvaccinated than vaccinated. Your UK data seems to show the opposite. Any thoughts on why thesame pattern is not seen in the US? https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#rates-by-vaccine-status
