The Kind of Omissions and Distortions That Makes Me Go Full Alex Jones
In follow-up to my posted question yesterday about the massive jump in CDC reported COVID deaths from August and September of 2020 to the same months in 2021, here's a new article about 2021's overall death count already surpassing that of 2020, headlined:
"More people have died so far this year from COVID-19 than last year: Johns Hopkins data"
(
https://www.nydailynews.com/co... )
Dr. David Dowdy, associate professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, is quoted in the final paragraph of the article, saying:
"It's still true that even now a third of our adult population is not fully vaccinated, and so we still have a large number of people — you're talking over 50 million people — who are at risk of getting really sick from this disease and potentially dying. If we were able to get those people vaccinated, that would bring the risk of death from this disease down to — not to nothing, but to a very manageable level."
Before reading on . . . did you catch the omissions in his conclusive statement?
(Take a moment, and reason it out.)
Okay . . .
-Of the 50 million unvaccinated individuals to which he refers — and as an epidemiologist would KNOW — at least one-third of those have already been exposed and infected by the virus, and therefore have varying levels of natural immunity working BETTER against reinfection, severe illness, hospitalization, and death than does any of the available vaccines.
-As an epidemiologist, he also KNOWS the infection fatality rate (IFR) is still approximately 0.3% as an average across that entire group — all ages and health conditions — and that for a majority of that group, their IFR is MUCH lower than the overall average. Considering that 80+% of the aged and most at-risk groups are already vaccinated, this remaining "50 million" are going to average a significantly lower overall IFR.
-Not taking that last sentence into consideration, he could have more accurately stated, "We still have a number of unvaccinated people — taking into account known epidemiological numbers — about 50,000 of which, (or less), are still at risk of getting really sick from this disease and potentially dying."
Of course, "less than 50,000" isn't nearly as scary as "50 million."
-There is, of course, no mention of the known efficacy of early treatments, which if allowed to be used, would offset that 50,000 number. There is also no mention of the increasing number of vaccinated breakthrough cases now resulting in severe illness and death. (Even MSM outlets are being forced to report quickly waning immunity from the vaccines.)
As we know, all this data presupposes an accurate counting of cases and deaths by the CDC. Also included in yesterday's post and questions was this quote directly from the CDC link provided:
"All deaths involving COVID-19"
Here's the full description of what that means, underneath the chart from which I pulled the CDC's death numbers:
"Deaths with confirmed or presumed COVID-19 . . . COVID-19 deaths are identified using a new ICD–10 code. When COVID-19 is reported as a cause of death – or when it is listed as a "probable" or "presumed" cause — the death is coded as U07.1. This can include cases with or without laboratory confirmation."
(
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/... )
Note these key words and phrases:
"deaths with" - (not "from" or "of")
"presumed" - (not confirmed)
"probable" - (not confirmed)
"with or without laboratory confirmation" - (self-explanatory)
Anecdotally . . . I am related to an ER trauma nurse from central Florida, who is now working as a "travel nurse" in understaffed "hot spots." He is being paid . . . (wait for it) . . . $9,500 PER WEEK in his current location. As far back as December of last year, The NY Post reported travel nurses earning as much as $11,000 PER WEEK just giving COVID vaccines. (
https://nypost.com/2020/12/19/... ) How is it possible for ANY hospital to pay a NURSE an annual rate of $500,000 per year, or more?
Answer: FEDERAL dollars being received for every death coded as "with," "presumed," or "probable." That is, "with or without laboratory confirmation" of the patient having actually died "of" or "from" COVID-19.
Something is WRONG, folks. The reason why these numbers are not making sense is because they are being manipulated, and they are becoming even more difficult to parse and analyze as the "breakthrough" cases and deaths are daily inching higher and closer to those of the unvaccinated cases and deaths. I've lived with and obsessed over the data for a year and half. I'm now more skeptical and suspicious of what the bureaucrats are feeding us than at any other time during this crisis.
I can't help but keep going back in my mind to that FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) dump of Dr. Fauci's emails, in which I reported, via links and screenshots, the email exchange between Mark Zuckerberg and Fauci, in which FB's CEO promised Fauci his full support in promoting the vaccine roll-out. Dated . . . February 28, 2020! Long before there was any national dialogue about potential COVID vaccines. The very same email dump that revealed Fauci knew about and participated with US taxpayer dollars in the funding of "gain of function" coronavirus research at the Wuhan lab. (About which he later brazenly lied to Congress.)
I have for years mockingly criticized Alex Jones and his ilk. I now find myself going full Alex Jones on this topic. I also believe this is most assuredly a manufactured crisis, birthed many years before the first COVID death in the US. The objectives of which are also more clear than ever: total control over every aspect of our lives; the destruction of the American experiment; neo-Marxist centralization of the economy; and ultimate elimination of individual liberties via a collusive government/mass media/Big Tech/medical industrial complex effort to frighten the public into voluntary relinquishment of our Constitutional rights. Also, for us to accept the punishing inflationary surge in every consumer product and service sector because of the TRILLIONS of dollars being redistributed from middle-class Americans to the oligarchical elite. This has been the perfect manufactured storm by which the Great Reset perpetuators accelerated, almost overnight, a century-old progressive agenda.
There. I said it.

🍃🍃🎠ANOTHER POST FROM STEVE BAKER🎠🍃🍃
Just take a look at these published CDC numbers and please give me your thoughts, opinions, theories on how this happened. (Or, maybe why it's not really happening?) I'm not even going to prompt you with my own thoughts, but this is making my head hurt. Okay . . . here goes:
"All deaths involving COVID-19" (United States)
Aug 2020 - 29,884 (no vaccines)
Aug 2021 - 45,748 (53% increase with 52.7% of total population fully-vaccinated by end of month)
Sept 2020 - 22,457 (no vaccines)
Sept 2021 - 41,089 (83% increase with 55.8% of total population fully-vaccinated by end of month)
BUT . . .
July 2020 - 31,113
July 2021 - 10,857 (65% DECREASE)

UK Infection Rates Higher for Vaxxed in Most Age Groups
"Oct 7, 2021 Update: UK CoV2 infection rates among the fully vaccinated are now higher than those of the unvaccinated in all age cohorts ≥30. Both vaxxed & unvaxxed get infected and spread & in most age groups, the vaxxed more so, which renders vaccine passports useless." (h/t: Don Wolt,
@tlowdon . . . see 1st image)
Also . . .
"Update from Massachusetts. Between September 25-October 2, the state reported 88 total deaths with Covid. Based on its breakthrough case report, attached, 46 of those deaths were fully vaccinated. Thus, a majority (52%) of MA's current Covid deaths fully vaccinated." (h/t Steve Deace,
@SteveDeaceShow . . . see 2nd image)
As these numbers continue to trend in this direction there is NO scientific justification for these vaccine passport requirements, at either your job or any other activity or venue. NONE. Do not forget . . . Israeli health minister Nitzan Horowitz recently caught on a hot mic, saying:
"There is no medical or epidemiological justification for the Covid passport, it is only intended to pressure the unvaccinated to vaccinate."
We must fight. We must not comply.
