A great idea that you have, to test more -- as many as possible -- countries that are similar in some ways, but different in others. I would absolutely LOOOOOVE to know the outcome! It would be great to even somehow automate that.

Also Ba5 is rising in the UK and hospitalizations are rising disturbingly faster than cases. (cases in UK are meaningless due to ending of free testing)

Take a look at Eugyppius: Portugal seems to have only one wave of death, unlike Spain. This might be the difference: https://www.eugyppius.com/p/sars-2-surges-only-in-the-winter?s=r

As regards the vaccines administered, I doubt we are ever going to have access to proper data on that score. I met a man the other day here in Italy who has had three shots: 1. AstraZeneca 2. Pfizer 3. Moderna :-((

how are the unjabbed coping in portugal?

Quarantine the jabbed. Problem solved.

One of our (highly repellent) "TV-virologists" over here in Italy has just predicted that the next country to have issues after Portugal will be Ireland, because he believes it is down to the waning effectiveness of the vaccines and says that Portugal vaccinated earlier than the other countries and that, going on that criterion, Ireland is next up. Could be a rubbish hypothesis, but I thought it was interesting to share.

Since Spain seems to have developed-- perhaps more than other countries-- a large and lucrative industry in fake vax papers... I wonder if this experiment will simply tell us how much of Spain's population is actually vaxed and boosted, compared to Portugal's population.

All this makes perfect sense, of course, but I’m sincerely hoping this hypothesis proves false.

I’ve mentioned a simpler version(I’m a simpleton) and have been scolded as SA has higher “natural” immunity as their explanation

I am currently in Africa working for an NGO. The promotion of the vaccine continues unabated here, for children 12 and up. I spoke to USAID officials in DC, their number 1 priority is shipping as many vaccines as possible to Africa to get vaccination rates up to ‘Western’ levels, because ‘equity’. They will piggyback on PEPFAR (HIV test and treat infrastructure) to roll out billions of vaccines. So all those excess Phizer vaccines, designed against a variant from 2.5 years ago, will be injected into children in Africa. Madness without end.

I have no idea if this is valid, but I grew up in South Africa (25 years ago now), and there was a known Portuguese community at least in Johannesburg. I wonder if there is frequent travel between the 2 locations hence explaining some of the spread.

It woul be very interesting to see deaths from (with, due to, whatever term you prefer) Covid presented as sociographical data. Income/deaths, educational background, that kind of stuff. And then overlay it with deaths due to mRNA-injections, divvied up the same way.

Because I have a sneaking suspicion I just can't shake, that (mainly US and EU) politicians and business leaders will have statistically significant divergent numbers from the main and average, divergent in such a way that very few of them have actually died, despite often being of age and with possible comorbidities.

Since media loves celebrity deaths, shouldn't we have seen an upsurge of such reports over the last year? Not just athletes but all over the celebrity spectrum?

Got no proof, just that nasty whisper in the mind, saying: "They've been injected, but what was in the syringe?" Wouldn't that just freeze the balls off of them, a journalist asking live on air "Can we film you getting your booster and get the syringe and the ampule to get it checkedfor what was in it?"

Because the rich and powerful never give the poor and powerless advice which would allow those below to compete with those above, so why would they risk a "vaccine" for a disease that's not dangerous to people who can afford the world's best health care? It just doesn't fit.

What if you know the components in each vax lot and once you have a population with matching lots or unmatching lots and/or populations with high vax rates v pops with low vax rates you can use that information to conduct all sorts of valuable experiments.

Hi Igor! Great interview on Del Bigtrees The Highwire today! In the animal studies Dr. Vliet went over last August, she showed that many of the ferrets and cats (sorry Gato) died from ADE. I’m so sad we’re seeing this because my brother who is a pilot had to go the jab or lose his job. I hope everyone is going to be ok and we’ll have felony convictions for the people who brought us this covid nightmare!

Igor chudhov compared the rising deaths in highly vaxxed Portugal to South Africa with a very low vaxx uptake and significantly lower death rate at this time.
