Just remember, when it comes to statistics, context is even more important than the numbers you quoted. If the Covid ward handled 20 people (16 unvaccinated / 4 vaccinated) in a community of 250k, I'd suggested the total number hospitalized, from a statistical standpoint, is all but irrelevant. Additionally, how many of the total people hospitalized were over say 65? That's also a very important statistic since the total number of people who've died 'from' Covid has trended heavily north of 65 years old.

Unless you've been given the entire statistical picture for Covid in your city/county/state (which you likely haven't given the goal of virtually everyone in government is to hide some data while producing mountains of garbage data), you can't offer any concrete conclusions. Nor can I. Wink

200 years ago, it may be argued that it's unfortunate but understandable that history repeats itself. Most people perhaps weren't sufficiently educated to know history.

But in today's era of information, data so readily at our fingertips to be shared, discussed, disseminated. It seems that there is no excuse to repeat lessons learned from history.

200 years from now, we may be called the era of idiots since we hade this wealth of information at our beck and call, yet continued to repeat the obvious mistakes noted in history.

Shame on us.

I agree with bigdeal. Our data is in such a sorry state that it's not reliable.

Plus, around the world, we see the most vaxxed places producing the most hospitalization and death.

Scotland, Britain, Israel, and Denmark are four of the world’s most highly vaccinated countries. They all have 90 percent adult Covid vaccination rates and 60 percent adult boosters. Yet the vast majority of deaths are occurring in vaccinated people; serious cases are soaring; and infections are almost literally off the charts.

This is Covid vaccine failure at the most profound and basic level.

Wait. You guys haven't heard yet? The term being used by the CDC is no longer Fully Vaccinated. No, it's now "Up To Date." You have to be "up to date" with your covid "vaccine." It is now open ended. "Up to date" is a subscription service.

Fauci Predicts Children Aged 4 and Younger Will Get a Three-Dose Vaccine Regimen

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...regimen_4240317.html

White House COVID-19 advisor Anthony Fauci said that he believes children aged 2 to 5 will need to get three doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

“It turned out that the other dose, namely the other group, from 24 months to four years did not yet reach the level of non-inferiority, so the studies are continued,” said Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, during a COVID-19 briefing on Wednesday.

Fauci continued to say that for children, “it looks like it will be a three-dose regimen. I don’t think we can predict when we will see an [emergency use authorization] with that because the company is still putting the data before the FDA.”



‘Don’t See Any Clear Benefit’: Sweden Doesn’t Recommend Vaccinating Kids Under 12

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...nder-12_4240763.html

The Swedish government on Thursday declined to recommend giving COVID-19 vaccines to children under 12 years old after determining there would be a little medical benefit in doing so.

The Public Health Agency of Sweden, in a news release, said the medical benefit for an individual child aged 5 to 11 who receives a COVID-19 vaccine is “currently small.”

“Therefore, the authority for the spring term 2022 does not recommend a general vaccination of children under 12 years of age in Sweden,” the release said. “We will continue to follow the issue.”

The agency further said that general COVID-19 vaccines for children aged 5 and older are “not expected to have a major effect on the spread of” the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus in Sweden.

Word games. I had to go to emergency for a stomach ailment over a year ago. Turned out to be divertyculitus (yeah I know spelling but I'm not going to look it up right now). Razz Anyhow they insisted on giving me the brain swab test. This was on a Friday. Monday the nurse calls me and says you're results are back and you are not positive for Covid. To which I said then I'm negative? To which she said no we don't say negative anymore you are classified as undetected. I just laughed and hung up.

An update on the news story posted previously by chellim1, on the trucker protest. The Freedom Convoy now has thousands of truckers and cars travelling to Ottawa to protest the vaccine mandate, and, according to another report, the convoy has reached 43 miles long. $7 million have been raised for this protest.

It looks like our Canadian friends have taken a page out of the Let's Go Brandon playbook and have their slogans for Prime Minister Trudeau..."Truck Frudeau" and "Truck you Trudeau". Wink

[Note: there is a Twitter Tweet w/ embedded video and hyperlinks at linked website article.]

Emphasis added in bold.

=====================

Florida trucker in Canada convoy: ‘We’re here to join a movement’

As protest rolls through Toronto, vaccinated US-Canadian driver explains his support

Nate Tabak
Friday, January 28, 2022



VAUGHAN, Ontario — Florida-based owner-operator DeAndre Mahadeo, like other truckers who rolled past throngs of supporters just outside Toronto, got a rousing send-off on Thursday as he prepared to head to the capital, Ottawa, in a protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates at the border.

Hundreds of people of all ages called them heroes and even freedom fighters as 15 to 20 trucks and a few hundred passenger vehicles paraded through a mall parking lot in Vaughan. Some handed over boxes of cookies, brownies and other snacks.

“We’re here to join a movement,” said Mahadeo, 30, a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen who regularly moves freight in both countries. “We need to end these restrictions once and for all.”

Across the Toronto area, supporters on overpasses cheered on convoys as they made their way along Canada’s busiest freight routes.

Mahadeo is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 so the mandates at the border haven’t affected his job. He continues to move auto parts back and forth between the countries.

But the long-haul trucker — who considers both countries his home — believes more is going on behind the vaccination requirements.

“There is a whole lot of overreach of the government, certainly in the U.S. and Canada and around the world,” said Mahadeo, who was born in Guyana. “Governments are using this as an opportunity to gain more leverage against the people.”

Mahadeo spoke as he inched his truck forward as his convoy prepared to join a larger one that had come from Niagara, Ontario. Multiple convoys under the auspices of the Freedom Convoy have been making their way toward Ottawa since the weekend — with the largest coming from western Canada.

A few trucks ahead of Mahadeo, Ontario owner-operator Tom Slawinski expressed frustration at the U.S. and Canadian governments. But for the unvaccinated driver, the consequences were more immediate since he can only run domestic freight now unless he gets the shot.

“I can’t make money,” Slawinski said.

The protest convoys bound for Ottawa started in response to the vaccine mandates that the U.S. and Canada imposed on cross-border drivers earlier this month. But they have emerged as a rallying point for Canadians against pandemic-related restrictions and the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau itself.

“I tried to join groups that have done this, but it’s always just kind of fizzled out. I feel now like it’s getting momentum,” said Carolyn Carey, of Newmarket, Ontario, one of the many nontruckers in the convoy.

Carey said she identified with the unvaccinated cross-border drivers, having been fired from her job in housekeeping at a hospital after refusing to get the shot.

“I should be able to choose and not have to be forced to take the vaccine,” she said.

Adding to the anger in the crowd were comments Trudeau made on Wednesday about the convoy.

“The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa, who are holding unacceptable views that they are expressing, do not represent the views of Canadians,” Trudeau said.

Many in the crowd held signs calling out the prime minister, including some that read “Truck Frudeau.” and "Truck you Trudeau".

Organizers of the Freedom Convoy say that 50,000 trucks will converge in Ottawa. As of yet, reports from across Canada point to a smaller figure, with individual convoys numbering in the hundreds of vehicles to over 1,000, in the case of one spotted in Saskatchewan. On Wednesday, Ottawa police said they are expecting 1,000 to 2,000 protesters.

A GoFundMe campaign for the Freedom Convoy continues to see donations pour in. As of Thursday evening, it had raised over CA$6.3 million (US$5 million). The organizers have reportedly withdrawn CA$1 million after submitting a distribution plan to GoFundMe, which had been withholding the funds.

Tucker Carlson Interviews Freedom Convoy Spokesman, Trucker Benjamin Dichter

Earlier this evening Fox News host Tucker Carlson interviewed Canadian Freedom Convoy spokesperson Benjamin Dichter about the motives, purposes and intents of the trucker protest.

During the interview Mr. Dichter noted how the vaccination passport was yet one more step in the ability of the government to track, monitor, approve and possibly block free movement. Additionally, the trucker gave a real-world example of that issue recently surfacing when he crossed the border and the crossing guard told him his cell phone location data and his vaccinated status was already tied into the border checkpoint system.

Mr. Dichter was surprised at how quickly the vaccination passport tracking system was triggered and noted the U.S. border checkpoints likely contain the same type of privacy infringements. WATCH:

Israel is overrun with Covid. The vaccines have failed. The experiment must stop.
Alex Berenson

Israel has always been the most important country to judge the mRNA Covid vaccines.

Why?

It has nearly total adult vaccine coverage. Efforts to blame "the unvaccinated” for whatever is happening won’t hold. Israel has good data - far more complete and up-to-date than American figures. And it vaccinates quickly, so whatever impact the vaccines are having rolls through the population (and the data) quickly.

But most of all, Israel matters because Israel was first. It mass vaccinated with Pfizer’s mRNA first and it boosted first. And human biology is the same everywhere.

So what happens in Israel happens in all the other mRNA countries eventually. As the chief scientific officer of Pfizer said in September, Israel is a “sort of laboratory” for the vaccines.

Here’s how the Israeli experiment is going.

This chart tracks serious Covid cases (basically intensive care hospitalizations) in Israel from early 2020, the beginning of the epidemic:

I took a Covid test at the doctor's office (after having negative test at home days earlier). I was not getting better from a cold. Mostly sore throat but it also turned into conjuctivitis.

I just got the automated call that I'm negative. Here's what they said. The stuff in parenthesis is my addition to what they left out.

"You're Covid test is negative. You likely do not have Covid. You should stay home for 10 days from when you last had symptoms (even though you don't have Covid). You may be able to return to work sooner if you are a healthcare worker (where you will be more likely to expose people with co-morbidities). Again please do not contact other people for 10 days (even though you don't have Covid).

Absolutely ridiculous.




These go to eleven.
