Also, the scale of the covid deaths decline, whether it was from 631 to 20 within 2 months, or from 623 to 8 within 2 months, is so enormous, 97% or 99%, that it's, for me, sufficient proof that something unique and ugly was happening in New York City.
Moreover, we are being asked to believe that the hospitals suffered a cataclysmic "hit" in two months, and then the same virus had no impact on hospital mortality until late December.
During 2020, I saw VERY few sick elderly on the verge of death arrive at the hospital on stretchers and get shipped to the ICU units with a COVID DX. The overall population was healthy. The ER's were empty before the vaccines arrived.
I think it was all fear mongering to get the people to take the shots.
Once the vaccinations began, we saw the disease. Until that time, despite the reports, there was no pandemic. We were told to go home and use our PTO. It's possible some places got hit more than others. My testimony is inconsistence with "the data". If it was consistent, I would have taken the shots and wouldn't be writing on here about what happened and the strange dystopia of living in a world that was different than the news....
However, there was a nurse who travelled to a hospital in NJ during the timeframe Spring 2020 and she described a nightmare situation. I wrote about what she told me.
It’s a nearly perfect offset by a few weeks. It’s not a “date of death” vs “date reported” sort of thing, with some near constant processing delay between the two?
State's data for the public hospitals matches the all cause hospital inpatient curves in city and federal data, which are both day of death. That's why I say if the state data is wrong, so are the feds and the city https://twitter.com/EWoodhouse7/status/1699947386087313594?s=20
Also, the researchers obtained their data from the hospital system too. Their curve is earlier, so the data of report issue can't be on their end.
Right — the date reported would have to be on the state side. Have you looked at neighboring states at all? If I look at the magnitude of the April 2020 peak in the usmortality plots I eyeball peaks at (excess weekly deaths/100k )
NY: 45.9
(NYC 78.6)
NJ: 35
CT: 21
MA: 19.6
PA 9.2
NJ, CT is interesting given I think many NYC people commuting from and living there. Might timing of data in those states shed light on this given possibly different bureaucracies involved?
In terms of Freedom of Information Act, usually governments have about 20 working days to respond (3 weeks would be 15 working days, so unfortunately you'd need to wait 4). If they fail to do this, then the appeals process clock starts ticking.
Whilst you can make an FOIA request externally, it is typically better to do it via:
This will create a digital papertrail, and will make it much easier to appeal/complain when the time expires.
If you didn't go down this route, you can still make use of the mediation services on offer (although you will need to supply evidence of date when sent), under the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS):
Mediation does *not* require a lawyer, as it is more of a digital online review process. However, you will need to have waited until the FOIA timelimit has run out before you can use them.
Note, government agencies will switch from 'not replying' to formally noting that they won't answer your question. But forcing that 'I won't answer' response out of them is necessary to form the groundworks for a lawsuit (not legal advice!) to get the information out of them.
You will more than likely need a lawyer to assist. If you very, very lucky, you may be able to convince US Right to Know to chase after the data given how compelling the discrepancy is. Otherwise, if you can't afford a lawyer, you're usually shit out of luck when it comes to FOIA.
"No one has responded to my follow-up emails asking for an update on the status of my request."
Just a guess but maybe lack of response is more personal? Sure, they're concealing the mass exterminations and vaccine- induced morbidity and mortality. But there are entire syndicates at all government levels - local, state, federal .. and beyond - Whose purpose is to perpetrate the ongoing deceit of the depopulationists.
I guess my point is, they're so adept at gaslighting, there could be more involved. Perhaps they are especially concerned about your research and findings to date. Or maybe the phone clerks just don't like you.
Regarding the FOIL request to NYC H+H, there is no excuse for a months-long delay and non-response through that channel. My communications have been via email, not phone.
H+H did provide me with data via FOIL earlier this year re: Elmhurst Hospital's bed occupancy. I've shared that data on twitter in several threads. It will be the focus of my next New York-related post.
FOIL requests and correspondence are public, and I always request under my own name. I'm sure H+H, NYC DOHMH, and NYS DOH staff know who I am.
If trained professional investigative journalists would have been doing their jobs, my efforts wouldn't even be necessary.
That said, freedom of the press is an individual right - not the sole province people who work for media syndicates/organizations. So I'm glad I'm able to ask my own questions and share what I'm finding.
It'd be strange for there to be a research committee operating under, or coordinating with, an inspector general of a government agency, but for the public to be ignorant of who is on the committee.
Gee, I wonder why there are so many conspiracy theories about the Covid mess?/sarc
It seems like all of the government provided data about Covid (when they bother to provide it) is questionable in some way.
Much appreciated from someone who lived through this! I am STILL fascinated with finding out what actually happened.
Not what we were told and sold, I know that much.
Also, the scale of the covid deaths decline, whether it was from 631 to 20 within 2 months, or from 623 to 8 within 2 months, is so enormous, 97% or 99%, that it's, for me, sufficient proof that something unique and ugly was happening in New York City.
Yes, agreed.
Moreover, we are being asked to believe that the hospitals suffered a cataclysmic "hit" in two months, and then the same virus had no impact on hospital mortality until late December.
Missing word? In "The State" paragraph. Your text: "So if it’s wrong (i.e., if the peak was earlier), the federal and [?] are probably wrong too."
"State" ? or should "and" be "data" ? - I am having trouble making sense of that sentence.
State. Will fix. Thanks for the feedback!

This is inconsistent with other testimonies and with the data.
Vaccines didn't arrive until December 2020.
Spring 2020 is when the mass-casualty event occurred

I completely agree with you. This is absolutely unacceptable. But where to appeal, when They are all pretty much one and the same?
It'd be strange for there to be a research committee operating under, or coordinating with, an inspector general of a government agency, but for the public to be ignorant of who is on the committee.
Remember, it's the OIG at NYC H+H. (From text of my article "H+H’s Office of the Inspector General")
https://www.nychealthandhospitals.org/office-of-the-inspector-general/
Agreed.
NYC H+H is a public hospital system.
Why so much secrecy?
Nuremberg code should be wnforced
I'll settle for complete datasets at this point. :)
