That last line was a perfect ending. There is no doubt in my mind they will stop publishing the data entirely soon. Say it with me, “safe and effective. Safe and effective. Safe and effective. The leader is good. The leader is great. We surrender our will as of this date.”

One must ask themselves: is rank stupidity & incompetence a recent thing, or has it always been this way? It would seem that one of the great lessons being taught here is that those who seek power & control do so because they are deficient in actual skill and/or intellect. And, throughout history, they have used the ability to lie, cheat, steal, manipulate & con to survive. A unique feature of our beloved America is that for the first time in history, men acknowledged that our rights as individuals are supreme ... and that we only hold our nose and tolerate a limited government for the purpose of protecting those individual rights. Dare I say that once again, we begin to understand why our forefathers were willing to risk everything for a chance to carve out a meaningful life, free from the vermin that have wormed their way back into control because we took it for granted? We need an awakening in this world. One that does not end with a new generation of mindless brutes claiming to right all wrongs by "representing the people", but one that understands that we all have a duty to our children & grandchildren to mitigate the effects of the destructive elements of human society.

I'm really troubled by the first sentence of the UKHSA site - "Vaccines work".

It's such an over simplification of what should be part of a complex system. It reads more like a religious statement, or an adolescent temper tantrum.

During a war, news should be given out for instruction rather than information.

As this fraud becomes more widely known it undermines confidence in the medical system, even beloved and revered family doctors. Which is a good thing, since medical errors have always been a major cause of deaths throughout history. Less Medicine More Health is a good description of how the struggles with complexity by learned professionals undermines outcomes.

Doctors, and their pills and procedures, do provide useful services. But overreliance on them produces the same outcomes as if we give our car to a mechanic and say "something is wrong." The car might be returned in better condition, might not. But your bill will likely be much bigger than necessary. Doctors are our employees and deserve the same supervision as any other employee. Probably more, since outcomes can be terminal.

There is one large confounder that is not being accounted for - the average health of the people in the vaccinated vs unvaccinated populations.

It is extremely important to account for the possible difference in overall health of the elderly in the vaccinated/unvaccinated populations. For instance, a very healthy 85 year old might have a 98% chance of surviving one more year, while an 85 year old with stage four cancer might have less than 10% survival within the year. The older one gets the more uneven the distribution of survival becomes.

Healthy 22 year olds have > 99.9% chance of surviving one year, while severely obese 22 year olds still have > 99% chance of survival one year. The distribution is much more uniform for the young. Far less than 1% of 22 year olds have a high chance of dying within one year. While 5-10% of 85 year olds have very high chances of dying within a year.

The point of covering these dramatically different distributions of survival is that the rate of vaccine uptake between each of these groups makes an enormous difference and will completely overwhelm (and thus confound) any calculated "efficacy" numbers.

Let's divide the 85 year old population into two groups, the 10% that are unhealthy and have a high chance of dying within a year and the 90% that are healthier and far less likely to die within the year. If vaccine uptake is 90% in the unhealthy group and 98% in the healthy group, then the overall unvaccinated population would be composed of around 36% unhealthy 85 year olds, while the vaccinated group would only have 9%.

This small difference (90% vs 98%) in the percent vaccinated amongst healthy/unhealthy populations leads to a substantial 4x increase in the unhealthy in the unvaccinated population.

Without the ability to measure the underlying health conditions of the elderly population and find the percent vaccinated by these conditions, then it will be impossible to calculate vaccine efficacy.

"you need to address more comprehensively the risk that it misleads people into thinking that it says something about vaccine effectiveness."

OMG, you weren’t kidding about the “fairly hilarious” bit. I couldn’t get through the first paragraph without guffawing—and feeling nauseous.

I’m curious how they’re defining the “unvaccinated.” Do they clarify that anywhere? There has been so much data manipulation throughout this entire facade that I certainly don’t trust it at face value. Sometimes, “unvaccinated” includes people who’ve received one shot; other times, it includes double-shot people who got their injections outside the particular hospital system (this info came from a medical professional at our local hospital and is partly how they inflated the number of ICU beds occupied by the unvaxxed). And now that they’re on the verge of redefining “fully vaccinated” to include three primary shots (e.g., in Israel), are they going to count double-injected subjects as “unvaccinated” now? 😆

The biggest confounder is the propensity to hospitalize the unvaccinated. This leads to hospital acquired infection (bacteria and fungal) and over-treatment with ventilators, which go hand in hand with bacterial infection. This explains all of the "hotspots for death" in the pandemic...New York, Italy, specific nursing homes, etc. All of these places likely had uncontrolled outbreaks of bacterial and/or fungal infections. John Ioannidis spoke to this early on, but he has been silenced. Also, it's important to know that known breakouts at hospitals in the U.S. are monitored by the Joint Commission, but it is not made public, due to the obvious problems it would cause in patient management, fear, etc. Being admitted to a hospital with a viral infection is risky business and increases your risk of severe infection and death. Counter-intuitive, I know.

I am so puzzled by this global phenomenon in western countries to lie to the public and ignore facts. One of the most disturbing aspects of this is here in the USA and the child vaccination push and child masking. It doesn’t make sense. In fact it is so senseless that it’s leading some to believe in some very dark conspiracies - depopulation.

I'll confess to being statistically challenged ,so shouldn't attempt to comment , other than to say that my latest jab invitation letter has gone in the bin.

Maskless,jabless, and well. All systems functioning as what passes for normal chez moi.

Sanity is clinging to the wreckage as I still continue to hold a slight hope that common sense and honesty and freedom will finally prevail.

Finally, from Lewis Carroll:

'Beware the jabberwock......'

I've managed to dodge it thus far.....

Excellent insights again! Yes, government statistics regarding covid have become nothing more than fairy tales. I am sure that many here follow closely what is happening in their locations. Perhaps even engaging local media regarding their errant statistical analyses and resultant conclusions. For example, here in Vermont fully 90% of those eligible are vaccinated, yet today we had the largest one day total of covid diagnoses since the start of the pandemic. What is going on? Well, clearly, the vaccines don’t work. Really they never have if one studies the original Pfizer dataset. Back to Vermont... It appears, that in an almost homogeneous population with respect to vaccination status, that the vaccines are the CAUSE of the spike in cases. Let me explain. Because, for all intents and purposes, ‘everyone’ is vaccinated, covid should be eradicated not rampant as it is now. Instead it is a disease spreading among the vaccinated. The damage that the vaccines did, because they never did work, was to postpone the inevitable development of full spectrum herd immunity that will stop the spread. The fully vaccinated populations in Israel and Vermont, to mention two, have become the guinea pigs in this failed experiment. What is truly amazing is that these two fully vaccinated groups have become the CONTROL groups in a sick experiment demonstrating the effects of interfering with the development of natural immunity with a population-wide snake oil vaccination. In other words, the vaccination, because it clearly doesn’t work or provide complete protection, is actually the saline injection while exposure to the virus is the experimental treatment...the treatment that actually works! Until these foolish vaccinations are halted this epidemic will continue to fester.

Would it be appropriate to ask Mr Humpherson why he is so certain the data are misleading, and it is not the case that the vaccines might be ineffective? Has he considered this as a possibility and if so, why is it being comprehensively dismissed?

Mr Humpherson strikes me as having unusual motivations. Wouldn't it be useful to know, in real time, when and if the vaccines effectiveness was dropping? Wouldn't an early warning signal be useful, rather than a run on hospitals, as it were?

Vaccines are not a on/off success or failure kind of thing. Clearly, they do work, and clearly, they do not. Insisting on the binary "they are effective" inevitably creates the "no, they are useless" counterbinary. Neither are true.

I believe it was Stalin who stated that it matters not who votes, but who counts the votes. This also applies to the entire covid pandemic fiasco. We have no way to trust any of the data coming from anywhere in the world. Most of it is being compiled (counted up) by the same tyrants who invented the pandemic. It is often amazing how so much data is scrutinized and how often it gets adjusted...often to fit a specific agenda or desired output. You can bet drug companies always do this with their trials and the FDA plays right along. Anyone familiar with computer programming understands the motto "GIGO"...garbage in, garbage out.

If the best you can do to suggest a bias is that the vaccinated will over-test, you're in deep trouble. They are equally likely to under-test because many of them still think they have complete protection from infection, and even if they don't, they are not so concerned for their personal wellbeing and may not always wish to isolate or force close contacts to do so. Whereas the unvaccinated may actually want to test in order to get a recovery certificate. So this claim doesn't pass muster on basic plausibility.
