One reason not to draw too much of a conclusion is that 10 to 59 is a really, really broad age group, and the underlying death rate at the top of that group will be much higher than at the bottom.

If the vaccination is also unevenly distributed in that group (and you would imagine the vaccination rate to be much lower among 10 year-olds than 59 year-olds) that would probably provide a sufficient explanation.

Before everyone piles on, I am opposed to mass vaccination, to mandates, to (most) child vaccination against Covid, and all the fascist tyranny being imposed on the back of this slightly worse than normal respiratory disease. It's just that I work in clinical research and we come across all the time things like this that look like something but very often aren't when you dig deeper.

Those of us pushing back need to be scrupulously careful with data and the analysis thereof, the exact opposite of what the propagandists do.

Is it definitive? No.

Is it worth investigating? Yes.

Will it be investigated? No.

Expand full comment

Absolutely worth, and needs investigating! My hunch is it is confounding rather than vaccine-induced mortality, but we could check, if data better stratified by age group is available.

There is one little clue in that you see the death rate in the unvaccinated halve from the beginning of the series (at which point the population vaccination rate was very low and very skewed towards elderly) to the point where vaccination roll-out is essentially complete. That is consistent with changing the unvaccinated population from almost everyone at baseline to only the younger people (with lower underlying mortality) from late summer.

That struck me as well - the evolution of the death rate of the vaxxed.

I think Alex jumped the gun on this one.

PS - I would also want to fully subscribe to your comments on your previous post (technical and philosophical). As you, I also work in a field related to this.

It's a hell of a lot more informative than the crap and lies coming out of CDC & FDA. And it's also factual. They are in fact dying 2x as often. Alex didn't jump anything at all.

Expand full comment

Twice the rate is staggering. One thing that I suspect would factor in is that the more vulnerable (ill, obese, etc.) in the population would have been more likely to get vaccinated in the first place, and the more robust less likely to. But even if that affected the results by 50%, that leaves a lot of excess deaths.

Expand full comment

Yup, I was wondering about this as well. The vaccinated likely skews older. That said, you should see them start to converge again as more younger people get vaccinated if that were the case. Still need to see it broken down.

Expand full comment

In fact, you do see some convergence. This needs to be separated by smaller age brackets.

Expand full comment

So Viv, why do YOU think that more vaccinated people are dying than unvaccinated? Could it be related to the CDC's refusal to conduct a 30-year retrospective health comparison of ~50K vaccinated and unvaccinated people? It's not that Big Pharma doesn't know - they don't want to know.

I would like to be scrupulously careful with the analysis we present to the world. There are a lot of people, highly professional manipulators (fact checkers, etc), and the smaller attack surface you give them the better. Exaggerating anything even by a small amount gets your claim written off for being inaccurate, even if the substance is correct.

As for coming after children and the general societal pushback we now desperately need, sure, I would be, metaphorically, on the streets of Rotterdam for that, were I younger, healthier and braver. I am not so do what I can with robust arguments that withstand critical scrutiny.

ClotShot Induced Immunity Collapse Syndrome

Expand full comment

ADE (antibody dependent enhancement).

This was warned about by the many animal experiments, starting at the SARS I virus in 2003 (and on) The animals were generally WORSE off after 'vaccination'. They were never able to make a effective vaccine because of ADE.

Robert Malone, MD (maybe most responsible for mRNA vaccines) has warned about this.

It's why they are trying to get EVERYONE 'vaccinated'. This IMO is to REMOVE the 'control' group, making it more difficult to tell overall mortality of 'vaccinated' versus 'unvaccinated'

IOW, they KNEW this was likely (Big Pharma) and you can see their confidence because they won't distribute 'vaccine' unless the government COMPLETELY exonerates Big Pharma (in advance) of ANY responsibility.

Maybe that's why they recently acknowledged they want to 'seal' vaccine experiments (before release, and how the figures of 95% efficacy were obtained)

FOR THE NEXT 55 YEARS.

I wondered about suicide or drug overdose as well but then the Indiana Life Insurance and Hospital information popped out.

Life Insurance wouldn't cover suicide.

And the hospital indicated their mortality rate uptick matched the Life Insurance uptick, so you have to think that the additional deaths are health related.

If overdose deaths were high at the hospital, one would think the hospital would jump on making that notification. Instead hospital indicated the deaths were for a variety of reasons and suggested state residents were simply in poor health.

Life insurance policies typically have a 2-year suicide clause which states the insurance won't pay if suicide within the first two years. Thereafter, they will pay the claim.

Well the Pfizer trial showed 5 people with suicidal behaviour onset compared to 1 in the control group. I think I'm right in saying many suicidal tendencies show brain inflammation.

Constantly hearing of a rise in suicides…have we seen data?

Expand full comment

Probably a mixture of vaccine adverse effects (which appear high enough to cause a small rise in mortality) and lockdowns. Unfortunately it is really hard to tease out the causes of small changes in mortality over long periods, much harder than seeing obvious spikes in mortality at the same time as covid waves.

For example. Vioxx was estimated to have brought forward some 100,000 deaths in the USA, and no one noticed.

Expand full comment

Vioxx was over a period of what, 4 or 5 years? If you just look at all cause mortality in the groups I mentioned, we're talking 7-8k per week, some 60% above normal. And, it's been persistent for months.

I know it's a big country, but that's a big jump and as far as I can tell, there's been no explanation.

Expand full comment

I agree. Sorry, I wasn't clear in that there is going to be a long, decades long, tail of lockdown deaths that won't be easy to attribute to lockdown (as the Vioxx deaths weren't easy to attribute to Vioxx). Even the shorter-term excess mortality is going to be broken down into hundreds of different causes of death, which makes it hard to point at one or three and say "lockdown" or "side effect".

In other words, lockdown and vaccine side effects are very likely responsible for at least some of that excess, but proving it is not easy.

Expand full comment

Rules for me but not for thee? it appears that you are not heeding your own advice to exercise an overabundance of caution in interpreting causes of increased mortality. Thus, you conclude that "vaccine adverse effects appear high enough to cause a SMALL rise in mortality", while you attribute the rest of the increase to lockdowns. This is an altogether incautious conclusion given the probability of under-reporting of vaccine adverse events to VAERS. Amirite?

Expand full comment

You can't conclude anything about vaccine-induced death from the all-cause mortality data Alex has presented.

You can definitely conclude from VAERS that the covid vaccines are the most dangerous vaccines to ever have been licensed for widespread use. This is why I do not support either mandates or widespread full-population vaccination. These products need to be used with more careful consideration of individual benefit/risk.

That said, as dangerous as they are, the vaccines are causing such a small proportion of overall mortality that it is difficult if not impossible to see that signal in any analysis of all-cause mortality.

Different sets of data, collected in different ways (overall mortality very reliable, VAERS, like all pharmacovigilance data very unreliable) help us to answer different questions.

Viv, you said: "It's just that I work in clinical research and we come across all the time things like this that look like something but very often aren't when you dig deeper".

It would be helpful to know what area of "clinical research" you work in and what your role is in that area. Moreover, you have not actually "dug deeper" to provide any evidence to support your opinion that Alex is wrong. We are just supposed to accept that you are correct based on your claim to your own ill-defined experience and expertise.

You also said: "Those of us pushing back need to be scrupulously careful with data and the analysis thereof, the exact opposite of what the propagandists do".

In other words, you are advising Alex and other critical thinkers, to abide by a double standard whereby we hold ourselves to rigorously high ideals and proceed with an overabundance of caution while elected officials and government appointees and pharmaceutical CEOs basically get up day after day and fling handfuls of shit at the walls.

Let's be clear: Alex doesn't fling shit at the walls. His work is impeccably sourced and his interpretations are informed by a community of data analysts and research scientists whose work is well above the pay grade of those who are running the shit-show.

Expand full comment

JP, I think this comment is unfair to Viv.

Her suspicion is there may be confounding, and I think she did provide evidence to support it. Deaths always skew older, and "vaccinations" (experimental injections) also skew older, so it's likely that the "vaccinated" bucket skews older, meaning more people toward age 59 than toward age 10; and the "unvaccinated" bucket skews younger, meaning more people toward age 10 than 59. Little evidence is required for this, it's basically common sense or facts that we all know to be likely to be true.

If the bucket composition is skewed in that way then you would expect more deaths in the older ("vaccinated") bucket, and it could be that the age skew is itself explanatory.

I agree with your concern, that our opponents have no scruples, and that we need to avoid fighting them with both hands tied behind our backs by fake ethical restrictions that they impose on us and ignore when it suits them. However, Alex has positioned himself as a calm, rational voice of reason in this debate and it is important to his brand that he take care not to exaggerate or draw unsupported conclusions.

The right thing to do here is seek disconfirming (or confirming) data. Maybe injected people really are dying at twice the rate. But it may also be the case that they are dying at 1.05X the rate and the rest of it is a false signal from the age skew. Inquiring minds want to know which!

Well, Abhijit, it looks like you and Viv are a team then. Some readers may appreciate your "concern" without appreciating that it has some overtones of concern-trolling;-)

We note that you claim to have deep respect for Berenson's exceptionally high standard of investigative journalism which, BTW, includes years at the New York Times where is reporting exposed profoundly inconvenient truths about the pharmaceutical industry and resulted in prison time for key culprits. Yet your commentary casts aspersions on his competence.

QUESTION: Do you think Berenson accomplished any of this without being fully cognizant of something as rudimentary as "confounding" variables in medical research? I'd wager the concept is somewhat less familiar to you.

So, please spare us the patronizing, undermining and doubt-sowing critique. Berenson doesn't need any of us to tell him how to do his job. Nor does he need advice about preserving his "brand", which is not just another lacklustre "calm, rational voice of reason". The man is a damn MAVERICK who thoroughly knows his shit. If that's not what you're looking for, maybe it's time to find a different hero.

Disagree. Just a few posts above, I made what I think a valid point, a flaw in one his recent articles. You can examine my argument for yourself, if you like. What's relevant here is that Berenson is most certainly a high-quality journalist. However, that doesn't exempt him from being human and thus making the occasional mistake. To be a successful critical thinker, you MUST always keep doubt in your arsenal. Traditional science takes nothing for granted, everything is, or at least should be, subject to question and verification.

JP, what matters is the truth, not what team you are on. I apprfeciate VIv's warning re age bias. I don't focus on this exclusively. I appreciate being reminded.

It would be good to keep the more detailed breakdown on hand for people whose conclusions follow the data.

Expand full comment

The skew could go the other way. Some believe the unvaxxed are healthier and younger, having decided the risk isn't worthwhile, while vaxxed are older, fatter, lazier, etc, relying on pharma to save them. Others believe the vaxxed are healthier and "taking better care of themselves," while the unvaxxed are older and too frail go vax, or out on the fringes of medical care to access vax, as Eugipius (also on substack) believes. A case could be made either way, the data is purposely murky. I didn't see Viv's comment, but I agree that we form hypotheses and get surprising, counterintuitive results in many disciplines, mine included.

An update:

A person on this UT blog (or possibly on another platform) mentioned Dr. Norman Fenton. In a video he posted on November 17th, he does the age-group by age-group side by side analysis that I mentioned above on the recent British data. The 10 to 59 age group is too broad to do a proper statistical analysis, but his analysis of the older cohorts may be of use to some of the readers of this blog.

Dr. Fenton does an excellent job of explaining the confounding effects of age on the underlying vaccinated/unvaccinated data, and his graphs and charts very much help. I thank the person who first posted about Norman Fenton. I found his recent you tube videos especially informative.

Yes, I'm advising anyone who wants to push back on this madness to hold themselves and the arguments we make to a higher standard than the charlatans forcing this stuff on us.

I am not making any claim based on my experience and expertise, but on the indisputable fact that older people are more likely to die in the next N days/weeks/years than younger people. I'm not even claiming for certain that the skew is responsible, only that it is a very likely explanation, other analyses of covid and vaccines have fallen afoul of exactly the same phenomenon (particularly vaccine efficacy), so we should take care to rule it out before claiming this shows vaccine kills, or some such.

From the CDC life table you can find here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Excerpt_from_CDC_2003_Table_1.pdf

you can easily calculate that the probability of a 59 year-old dying in the next year is 75 times the probability of a 10 year-old dying in the next year.

A 75-fold difference in general, normal mortality risk between the top and bottom of the age range is huge.

Expand full comment

I respect your well reasoned arguments. I also agree that the best way to beat back against these tyrannical charlatans is with good data analysis. The one thing I will say as far as defending alex, is that he simply presents the data, and gives somewhat of his opinion on what he finds. I would encourage you personally to parse the data yourself, since you have experience in this type of thing, and present it here. I honestly would be interested in what conclusion you come to.

Expand full comment

No you misunderstood. We're talking about mathematics which is objective. It doesn't matter if he is a researcher or not. That's not relevant. The problem is the average age in the 10-59 vaccinated category is definitely higher than the average age in the 10-59 unvaccinated category, so you would expect the mortality rate in the first category to be higher than the first (excluding vax causes) because the average age is higher. Your odds of dying increase as you age. So this needs more careful analysis to compare the same average age person who is vaxed versus unvaxed. In my opinion the factor of 2 difference is very high and indicates the vax is increasing mortality but this needs deeper investigation because the age distribution in that category between vax versus unvaxed is very different.

You can just click on the link and check the data yourself. That's what I did. I downloaded the spreadheet from ons.gov.uk. They put 10-59 in a single age bracket. So it's not a straightforward comparison as the age distribution is quite different within that large bracket.

Expand full comment

Here you can see in Section 1 the vaccination rate by age group shows younger people have much lower vaccination rates, therefore it skews the 10-59 unvaxed category to a lower average age. Because of that difference in age distribution we need to compare all-cause mortality in vaxed versus unvaxed for those smaller age brackets instead of the larger bracket 10-59. https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/COVID-19-monthly-announced-vaccinations-11-November-2021.xlsx

Partly disagree. I admire what Alex does, and am a paying supporter. But he's not exempt for sensationalism at times. In his recent scandal piece about Pfizer admitting to a couple more deaths in their study, I pointed out that while this did seem an oversight, by my calculations the reported deaths in both cohorts (vaxxed and control) were still far less than what normal expected deaths would be. There may have been flaws, perhaps even deliberate fraud, in the study, but to make much of what might be a ten percent difference against normally expected all-cause deaths is pretty close to irresponsible journalism, in my opinion.

I have not looked at this one, but the additional deaths were probably simply from a later data cut. In such a huge trial there will always be additional deaths not in the first analysis. So as long as they keep watching the patients that number can of course only go up.

You’re thinking too much. Just take the table for what it is and compare it to the lies we’re fed on a daily basis from authorities and media.

I’ll do a basic KISS (keep it simple stupid) analysis for everyone.

By and large people under 60 shouldn’t die. If they do it’s usually very surprising and “they died too young” they say.

This graph evaluates death rates for people between 10-60, which is the vast majority of the learning and working world.

Given vaccine mandates, firings, forcing jabs into children, follow up boosters, etc, it is reasonable to expect we SHOULD be seeing data that shows the death rate of vaccinated 10-59 year olds is practically non-existent and death rates of 10-59 year olds should be astronomically worrisome. Thus anyone who looks at the graph would say “holy bleep, if you haven’t gotten the vaccine you are insane.”

However it’s not showing anything close to that. Quite the opposite actually. Do 50-59 vaccinated people dying skew it a little bit? Sure, probably so. Even so if the lines were adjusted to be identical to each other, what do we take from that then? That your chances of dying of any cause are pretty much the same, vaccinated or not? Ok then why am I losing my job over this?

If you don’t look at it from assessing whether or not the vaccines are killing people, then it makes plenty of sense and is completely usable data in any argument.

At extremes you could take the data and argue vaccines are killing people at a higher rate than unvaccinated people are dying.

At the bare minimum baseline you could take the data and argue (without a solid rebuttal) that the vaccines don’t do shit to protect most of the under 60 population from dying (sure it can protect you from dying from “Covid”, but you’ll just die of something different then). Fantastic.

Yes, there is something to see here.

I disagree. I think we are pretty certain that the vaccine is dangerous, and I think we can prove it.

A much better example of a proof is here:

Looking at total deaths is a completely flawed way to look at the data. People that have preexisting conditions are more likely to get vaccinated and are more likely to die of other things like heart disease, diabetes, etc... You need to look at covid19 deaths which table 6 shows are 9x for the unvaxxed. If you were looking at how effective seat belts were would you look at car accident deaths? Or would you look at total deaths across the board. The vaccine protects against covid19, so look at covid19 deaths. Not too difficult.

Expand full comment

The reason for doing all cause is to account for fallout from vaccine side effects. A better analysis of this data shows precisely no benefit because the lives saved from C19 are balanced out by other deaths, presumably side effects.

"Not too difficult".

Obnoxious.

All cause mortality is the only non-flawed way to look at the data, because going off of "covid deaths" is utterly dependent on how you define 'covid death'. In order to be able to write something so silly, you must be completely unaware of all the problems in that space.

Second, you are just asserting without evidence that people with preexisting conditions are more likely to get vaccinated. Is that true? Who knows, because your evidence for this in non-existent. Did you get vaccinated? Do you have a preexisting condition? The people I know who got vaccinated are uninformed mostly neurotics. If you consider that a pre-existing condition, then maybe I'll agree with you.

Finally, if the shots are giving people heart attacks, which certainly appears to be the case, they will only show up in all cause mortality. So will deaths like car accidents caused by people passing out behind the wheel.

Your car analogy is just pathetic question begging. You invented an analogy that fits your conclusion. The problem is, it doesn't fit the question.

If the world this seems simplistic to you, consider the possibility you're a simpleton.

Another support of my claim that those with pre-existing conditions and other issues were the first to be vaccinated is evident in the data. Why do you think the rate of total deaths among the vaccinated started off high and has been dropping since? That's because, (YOU GUESSED IT), as time went on healthier and younger people were gettng vaccinated more.

You can't lump ages 10-59 y/o over a span of time when only older people and the immunocompromised were allowed to get the vaccine in the beginning of the timeline. You know this to be a fact. I suppose covid deaths are inaccurate but all other deaths aren't? My how that fits with your belief. But then again, I'm just a simpleton :-)

I agree that 10-59 is a bad way to lump data. I also find Alex's post likely suffers from Simpson's Paradox.

What I disagree with is the assertion that all-cause mortality is a flawed measurement because it isn't. "Covid-19" deaths is flawed measurement for all kinds of reason.

The UK is 80% Fully Vaxxed 12yo & Up, and 25% have had a Booster jab. It seems Mortality follows the Jabs; the higher the JAB rate , the higher the All-Cause Death rate. No one anywhere in the MSM and Politics , or Establishment Medicine will confirm the obvious. Not even when young kids start dropping. There is now an ad campaign to "normalize" strokes and heart inflammation in Kids. "Kids get Strokes too" The Kool-Aid drinkers will lap it up.

Yes, good point. I always try to think of all the possible explanations for a particular data set and the age issue is probably central in these numbers.

These charts (and the high all-cause mortality happening in highly-vaccinated countries) raise important questions that are not being asked except by a few de-platformed journalists.

Expand full comment

Very likely nothing to see here. Vax rated for 50-59 is ~88%, while 18-29 is ~56%. Throw in the few million 10-17 year olds in the denominator of the unvaxxed and that likely explains the entire difference.

Expand full comment

None of what you say explains what is happening on the right side of the graph.

Expand full comment

The closer you look the more it explains. Why is the vaccinated death rate highest just after vaccines start rolling into the 10-59 age group? One possibility is "vaccines killing people", but you would expect to see that peak sustained for longer if true. The other possibility is "start with 59 year olds, then 58 year olds, etc". Which explains the peak as vaccination starts and the decline (in the vaccinated group) thereafter, and even more marked decline in the unvaccinated group as older unvaccinated people move into the vaccinated group.

As ever, I'd be happy to see data (in this case better stratified data) that defeats this argument.

Expand full comment

I FREELY admit I am like a five year old when it comes to statistics and data analysis. I just don’t see why there is such a large difference between the group toward the end. It would be helpful to see the same data broken out in age bands. Thank you though for your discussion points.

Expand full comment

Caution! Made up numbers below!

Let's say at the end of the series the average age in the vaccinated group is 50 and 99% of people in that group are over 30, and the average age in the unvaccinated group is 15, and that 99% of people in that group are under 30.

Which group is going to have the higher death rate?

You see, even though they are labelled "10-59" so the same age range, the two different populations within that group are very different in ways that are important to what we are measuring (how many of them die).

Ok, so I went back to the raw data. Unfortunately it does not break down the age groups preventing us from blocking for age. It literally indicates "10-59". Also previous versions of the database do not go back further than Jan 2021.

Essentially the way this data is provided by the government, prevents any meaningful analysis. It is impossible to tease out the effects of age and vaccination.

This data is entirely consistent with the possible scenario that the vaccines were so effective prior to April that they actually over-powered the age effect, and after April the effect wore off and the death rates regressed to the normal for these (skewed age) groups, 2:1.

Expand full comment

Yes, that's the problem.

Have you looked at Table 2? It has a different take on the data, which isn't necessarily more useful: age-standardized mortality for the population as a whole. Take a look at the rates for partially vaxed in May (week 18-21). This was a period where the vax was rolling out for 30-50 age. So you know those columns are in those age groups. The mortality for those weeks was very high compared with unvax

(for rollout see figure 1, page 9

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1018416/Vaccine_surveillance_report_-_week_37_v2.pdf )

Esp with C19 being in remission at that time, it's hard to argue this isn't directly caused by the vax.

Viv. Question. Wouldn’t the underlying death rate at the top of the group be higher for both groups (vaccinated and unvaccinated), thereby keeping the comparison of the two valid?

I 100% agree with the point of your post. I don’t us to rush to judgment. The argument must be airtight. But this graph is devastating. ACM is hard to fudge.

Expand full comment

Yes. But what is going on is the distribution of people at risk of age-related death is different between the two groups. The unvaccinated group is now overwhelmingly younger people, relative to the vaccinated group.

Also the distribution of age between the groups changed over time (at the beginning almost no one in the vaccinated group, at the end probably >60% of people in the vaccinated group, and in between people moving from unvaccinated to vaccinated _by the oldest first_)

I am not sure there would be a significantly uneven distribution of injection rates in the 40-59 age band. You mention a 10 year old child but that is not relevant here. People in their 40s and 50s are in the autumn and early winter of professional working life.

The UK has been notorious at terrorising people about sars-cov2 (it is official government policy to "scare" people according to an infamous document dating from March 2020), the media there is uniformly and relentlessly on-message and the coercion is oppressive. If someone wanted to resist, they would be more able to do so if they are older and more likely to own their home and have some money saved. Someone in their 40s would be far more vulnerable to coercion. So an uneven distribution may actually show people in their late 50s less likely to have accepted the injections.

The fact therefore remains that people in that - admittedly broad - age band have a distinct difference in the death rate as to whether they are injected or not. Double. That is a big difference.

The "inflexion" point, where the curves cross, is interesting because around that date, the proportion of the population with 1 dose crossed the 50% mark, while the 2nd dose was around 20%.

If these injections (please forgive my insistence on precise language - a spade is a spade etc) are not the cause for this large disparity, then what else can explain this?

If the same data is analysed with different variables - say, smoking or obesity - it is likely that a difference will be found, but I am fairly certain it will not be "double". That is a huge disparity. Can anyone think of any other factor that opens up a "double" difference within this age band?

Expand full comment

Where do you see data on 40-59? Table 4 has only 10-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80+.

That's really the crux of the problem. If they had it for 10 year groups it would be possible to do a comparison for a group that's not heavily vaccinated and get some more reliable numbers. Or if they age-standardized the mortality rates. Table 2 has age-standardized rates for the full population, which is more promising. But shows the *opposite* result if you compare post dose 2 with unvax. The partial vax data looks pretty bad but I have not had a chance to try to analyze that in detail.

Expand full comment

ok. My mistake. I actually thought this was all about 40-59 not 10-59

Not sure how I mis-read 10 as 40

Maybe it has to do with the Beaujoloais Nouveau that came out on Thursday (I am in France).

I agree the age band 10-59 is huge and needs sub-dividing. As an earlier commentator said: this is worth investigating further.

Expand full comment

No worries... the Beaujolais sounds like one of the few bright spots these days.

BTW, I was just trying to create an analysis of the Table 2 data that is age-standardized and the results are interesting.

What it showed was from weeks 8-15 the vaccinated category was showing initially much lower mortality, to weeks 16-24 where the mortality in the vaccine group rose *above* that of the unvax group. Not 2x but substantially higher - around 10/100K on a weekly basis. Then weeks 25-38 the vaccine group again showed an advantage. This data seems to comport with registered "covid 19 deaths", which would suggest the protective effect of the vaccine; but also shows a higher death rate for the vaccine group in the absence of a C19 outbreak.

There is also very clearly an increased mortality rate in the partially vaccinated category, in the period of time when there is no ongoing outbreak, which would seem to clearly indicate hazards with the vaccine itself.

The problem with this dataset remains - it is over the full population. The argument against mass vaccination is that the risk for young people outweighs the benefit for them, and does not protect old people (due to ability to still transmit). But a full population metric will not make that distinction.

(And of course the real reason these numbers exist is that early treatment is not being done, making the disease appear much more deadly..)

Expand full comment

If the chart included people 10-79, you could make that argument. But 59 is a relatively young age - people don’t generally drop dead at age 59. Also deaths of all causes are higher than they were historically, which makes your argument fall flat on its face. The gist of your argument is that the division of people into “vaccinated” and “unvaccinated” groups in this chart is no different than dividing them into unhealthy and healthy. If this is the case, then why are more people dying overall? Unless people have somehow become much more unhealthy in the last 2 years? I’m sure bacon and eggs are to blame, as a recent newspaper article cover suggests.

100% James. Look at table 6, it shows that there are 34k unvaccinated COVID deaths ad 4k vaccinated. The graph here is misleading because it's counting total deaths.

You could make the argument that the unvaxxed are healthier or that they are less healthy and unable to take the jabs. I've heard people make both arguments to support or refute data they don't like.

Like a number of countries, England is reporting excess deaths that cannot be attributed to C19 infection. Are they a result of vaxx injury or missed care or despair or all of the above?

I doubt that "they" would be willing now to release some kind of new, engineered virus when only the idea of a virus was released to start with.

Real pandemics aren't controllable the way a phony pandemic is. An actual killer plague virus might just spread to the people who hope to gain from a pandemic. These bogus vaccines aren't intended to protect anyone from anything, apparently, so the vaxxed subjects would probably be the first to die in an actual pandemic.

I think that if whoever started this whole fake pandemic panic actually had a way of creating a virus that would selectively kill people who hadn't been vaccinated, then it would have been released already.

I also believe they used a mix of vaccines like in the US. Pfizer, Moderna, and AZ.

Expand full comment

I personally think it’s how and when the body sees the spike protein. When we get sick (any virus) our body sends signals to eliminate the virus AND to protect ourselves from that inflammatory response (anyone who has an auto immune disease knows how devastating our inflammatory response/system is). With these mRNA/DNA vaccines, the “protective response “ never happens because the “vaccine” never triggers this; it only triggers the inflammatory response (and obviously not completely) & formation of the spike protein. Therefore, the spike can do a lot of damage without the cellular protective mechanisms in place (vascular damage, clots, auto immune reactions, cell death). In my opinion, if you’re lucky that the majority of the vaccine stays in the fat/skin then you likely won’t develop the severe effects but if it gets in the muscle (very vascular) or heaven forbid in a blood vessel, then…

Expand full comment

Good points. More: at least for the mRNA products, the "wrapper" is an artificial molecule. The mRNA protected inside is partially artificial. One of the RNA "letters" is a synthetic analogue of the natural, I think, to delay breakdown by the body. Who knows what adjuvants are used? They are often trade secrets. Finally, NONE of this stuff has any proofs of long-term or I suspect, even mid-term safety. They simply don't know, they can't possibly know, what if any long-term harms these may cause to the patient.

One of the worst toxins used in the vaccines is polyethylene glycol, used for the first time in vaccines, and this is what kills those people with cardiovascular collapse after the first shot, and gives some people anaphylaxis.

Expand full comment

Slight correction, unless you are a medical researcher - my understanding is that the mRNA shot is into the muscle, where most of the antibody response is triggered, but in a few cases it gets into the bloodstream, causing the spike protein to be expressed in places, and on cell types, where the immune response can do much more damage.

Expand full comment

It goes into the lymphatic system and then in lesser amounts, into spleen, liver, lung and even cerebral spinal fluid. From what I know every first year med student knows intra muscular shots are dispersed around the body because of the rich vascularization of the muscle tissue. They knew all along the mRNA/DNA could end up all over your body. They just didn't want to talk it up.

I hear you on that one. I'm considerably older than you are, now well into Medicare age. In the early1980's I had a truly terrible flu that had me convinced for days that I was dying. After that I got flu shots religiously, until finally having a bad reaction to one. Haven't had a flu shot in 30 years now, nor the flu. Also agree about Covid. My husband and I both came down with it way back in the beginning, March 2020, and it was NOTHING. Slightly drippy sinuses, and 3 days of bad nausea, then it was over. I'm convinced the vitamins, minerals, and other supplements we take on a regular basis had a lot to do with the outcome. Also agree that if there comes a time when vaxing cannot be avoided (i.e absolutely no life otherwise), the only type I would even consider is the whole-virus variety. That's the reason I'm following Valneva so closely. Unfortunately it's availability in this country appears to be quite a ways in the future.

It's my understanding that Valneva is made from specimens of the earlier SARS virus, the one that never produced the pandemic that the vaccine makers hoped to stop in its tracks.

So stop spreading this propaganda and go get your 40th booster shot because…science.

How often do you hear about countries with a low % of vaccinations? India is no longer in the news as they essentially stopped the “pandemic” with ivermectin. What about the majority of Africa? Haven’t heard anything from that continent outside of S. Africa in awhile…

The so called experts are truly idiots....People in African routinely take HCQ and IVM as prophylactics against parasites. A virus is the ultimate parasite,is it not?

This virus in particular is very parasite-like due to the synthesized spike. It shares an epitope w the malaria parasite, so as a result populations w endemic malaria & strong immunity haven’t been hit as hard by Covid. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmed.2021.650231/full

You're placing quite a lot of implicit faith into the statistics of a given country. Covid-19 stats are not to be believed even in the best of times. When you add the incredible variance of quality of governance, they become downright absurd. Here's a one-stop proof of concept. Check the enormous variation in reported deaths by nation. I've said it before, I'll say it again for emphasis: the Covid-19 statistics are rubbish.

Same here. I had Covid a year ago and recovered with no issues as I’m fairly young and not a fat sack of sh!t. I had my antibodies tested last week when I gave blood and still have them after a year. Natural immunity is far superior yet not acknowledged by the Biden regime. Hmmm wonder why?

Expand full comment

The simple fact is that if they acknowledged acquired immunity, then many many people would make the (correct) decision to get the virus instead of the jab. Obviously that's not acceptable to people who are selling jabs.

I considered this, but it is not plausible; the gap has remained large even as the number of people in the vaccinated group has risen more than 10-fold, from fewer than 2 million people to almost 20 million. Vaccinated people now easily outnumber the unvaccinated, but the gap remains. And the difference in vaccination by age from 20 to 60 is not enough to account for the gap either.

Some rationale to cull the "useless eaters," but I don't see enough emphasis, in my opinion of course, on the fact that the jabs will all take out a lot of the productive members of society, especially the workers who are encouraged or mandated to take the experimental juice. Now, I'm sure it's possible that many supposed vaxxings of elite have been staged or otherwise lied about. But fact is you can only lose so many essential or even critical mid- and upper-level functionaries before organizations begin to seize up.

Also, where is the data on what the selection bias looks like? I just hunted around. Many Covid studies saying "may have selection bias" but it would be perfectly possible to quantify the impact of some of the strongest covariates and get them out of the way. Where is that study.

Expand full comment

I can also tell you that there doesn’t seem to be much of a trend from what I can tell here with who is and isn’t. It’s more to do with trusting “authorities” not health status. There would definitely be more of the younger population unvaxxed but the difference here does seem to be very stable despite big shifts in proportion over the period. Personally I think it’s more deadly to those over 60. These are the ones that get missed as having strokes and heart attacks is seen to be more usual at that age and is not noted as anything to do with vaccination. I know of 3 that have died suddenly from strokes, one of whom comes from a family of doctors and they believe it was due to the “vaccine” even though it wasn’t treated as such .

Can definitely agree there. My 80yr old cousin (and neighbor), generally pretty healthy - mild high BP, mild diabetes - ate healthy, took good care of herself...2wks after 2nd shot (early spring), massive stroke (they think) during the night. NOOObody gave it a second thought. Unnerving!! : (

THAT'S why they are trying to make sure there are as FEW people as possible, who have NOT been 'vaccinated'. To GET RID of that possible "control group" to compare vaxxed people with!

Expand full comment

There may be some truth to that (find an excuse to erase the actual control groups, as was done in the Phase 3 (?) study once emergency approval was obtained. But beyond that, I argue this is just another weak "conspiracy theory" that doesn't stand up to analysis. For example, imagine the population, somehow, got 100% vaxxed. No hold-outs. Based on what we're seeing now, there would still be an unexplained increase in all-cause deaths. Big Pharma can perhaps admit error that they "prematurely" terminated their control group, but to put years of vital statistics (deaths, cause of death, etc.) into the Memory Hole would be much harder.

Expand full comment

Any data before the Delta variant became widespread , and vax rates achieving 2/3rds of a population are too obsolete now to be included in any data set. True "real-time"data starts after july1, 2021. The last 90 days gives the clearest picture of trends in Vax effectiveness or Vax harm. But the Medical Establishment keeps hiding the damage being done by starting data sets to far back.

You make a valid point, as those with underlying issues have been getting pushed from day one to get 'jabbed', by the sadistic pLandemic enforcers.

Expand full comment

What’s your definition of healthy?

Expand full comment

A more honest appraisal would be "Most of them have no apparent health issues at the present time." The fact remains that the mRNA jabs had never even been approved for human use before December 2020, much less tested for long-term safety. Thalidomide, DES, Vioxx and many other products seemed very promising early in their careers, too. The entire establishment broke a lot of rules and standards to get these products to a wide (and often, unwilling) market. There have already been plenty of red flags that should have halted their use, or at least, severely limited it. The blatantly obvious lies, the data either not being collected or the collection suddenly and inexplicably stops, and perhaps most ominously, the continuing mandates for injecting people, fly in the face of science and common sense. This ceased being about public health long ago. What it's about, I leave for others to debate.

That could explain part of it but what percentage the people between 30 and 60 got the jab....over 70%?

While selection bias could come into play, we'll be seeing more data like below, I'm sure. These vaccines ARE NOT "safe and effective."

Thank you for posting this - this report seems very significant. Please everyone share and tweet. Doctors are more easily impressed (sometimes) by lab results -- here showing a more than doubling of heart attack risk after mRNA jabs -- than by any number of young men dropping dead on the playing field. Mind you this study was in patients in a "preventive cardiology practice" so presumably had some pre-existing risk. Still seems like a clear warning to the rest of us.

What blows my mind is that there’s obviously issues with this “vaccine” yet theres a black out against all adverse reactions.

Much of the discussion here is about whether or not this proves the vaccine is killing people. There are nuances for sure, and age-adjusted data is preferable. But this also misses the forest for the trees. What is clear - crystal clear and indisputable - is that those who favour the vaccine can't produce data to say it works. The data if anything favours that it kills people. Yet they can get away with hand-waving, while we can't oppose it without some kind of solid mathematical proof. This framing of the whole situation is the real problem, and data is not the way out - it's a human problem. We have data, they have hypnotists.

Expand full comment

That’s exactly what I just said to Viv. With all due respect to her arguments, whether or not the vaccine is literally killing people is not the point of this. I do think there’s some truth to it but I’m not here to debate that. The actual point is that the vaccines aren’t doing shit to save your life if you’re under 60 and thus all mandates and firings and children injections are utterly pointless. The data has shown it time and time again. But no one listens.
