The person closest to spotting this problem in real time was "Professor Akston" - under his old account https://x.com/ProfessorAkston/status/1797456459439255773

I’m pretty sure you’ve already seen/checked deaths involving influenza and pneumonia for the same period?

if only I could get people to understand the graphs in this post. https://www.woodhouse76.com/p/a-spectacular-commitment-to-spectacular

What’s there to understand? Once you know there was no new pathogen circulating and therefore the pandemic was staged, all one has to figure out is how they made to look as if there was a pandemic… You did it.

We had no such problems in Canada. There were no excess deaths up until late 2021, when the fake gene therapies were rolled out as vaccines. Once our BioFire testing machines were upgraded with the covid-19 test kit in late March 2020, almost all influenza positive patients became covid-19 positive no difference in symptoms…

Yes, the hospitals were empty or half-empty most of days during the staged pandemic…

Did I miss anything?

Yes. It's an impossible event.

Yes, I am with you on the changing of the machines and have posted much on X about the intentional disappearance of positive flu tests and mechanisms therefore.

Country-level analyses are somewhat misleading - and I take issue with the mantra "no excess til shot" because in many cases it hides or overlooks the event-based nature of spring 2020 in numerous cities, including Toronto.

What event-based nature of spring 2020 in Toronto are you referring to exactly? I was affiliated with 4 large hospital in Toronto and 3 other in GTA. Maybe i can help to clarify something?

Expand full comment

Do you have Toronto daily deaths in 2020?

The testing machines were not changed. Not to my knowledge. They were upgraded with the additional testing kit for covid-19. So, most machine will run the usual standard tests that included influenzas tests but after the upgrade, very few tests would come back positive for influenza initially but then none…

It looks like NYC moved many deaths that happened before and after the Spring of 2020 to one short period instead of recording them when they actually occurred. Am I reading that right?

Expand full comment

Yep

So the NYT is interested in this, right? How about 60 Minutes? Jake Tapper? This should be front page news. 😔

TBH, I'm just hoping the very small circle of analysts I like and respect start to take me seriously.

I’m looking for a dearth of AC deaths prior to and after the spike of Spring 2020. Is it subtle? The line just seems to bump along, trendless at ~3k per week.

Do you think they peanut buttered the harvest of records over a long period?

Yep and yep

You might want to read Chomsky's Manufacturer consent. There's also a documentary film about it.

I read it during undergrad :)

But I was a different person at age 20 than I am at age 48 and should read it again.

Fab. Same here! And never read/watched legacy media after!

BTW, I made the suggestions to "Vee" in reply to their comment.

But now that you read it too, here's another good one, very entertaining: Andrew Marr (a bbc neolith) - Chomsky interview.

For 2018 and 2019, NYC metro county deaths could be used in order to predict overall US deaths (because they tracked well with each other). Knowing what was going on in NYC would have been a reliable indicator of what was going on overall.

Then, after the "inexplicia*" of 2020 and 2021, they begin to track well again by 2023. By 2023, you could once again use NYC to predict weekly US mortality overall.

*a made-up term for something inexplicable

I love that word - "inexplicia."

You may want to clarify the difference between the 2 graphs (different scale in order to better see how bizarre NYC is) as they use the same data.

Nope, I don't. :)

Thank you though

I always appreciate your feedback!

Interesting that the next July-August bump in the US curve then did not happen in the NY metro area. And possibly the Fall ‘21 bump. Traveling circus moved elsewhere?

Yes such an amazingly efficient bug that can exhaust all susceptibles whatsoever like a bomb does oxygen ;) I’m sure they recognized everyone in both places HAD to then be immune so didn’t need any shot campaigns after…

I was told all-cause death data are the bomb

Oh come on — be nice. Look at all the interesting things you’re learning from it

Expand full comment

Would you tell me to "be nice" if were a man?

Or an MD?

Or a "real" scientist, actuary, or modeler?

Or Paul Alexander? ;)

Expand full comment

Yes — especially Paul Alexander.

Actually no don’t be nice.

And anyway I don’t know why you differentiate “real” science when you seem to be one of the only people actually doing any

You rock, Jessica! Another excellent graph summarizing Bergamo inexplicia. (Credit to DeepDive for the newly minted word.)

Of note: Without making more of it than necessary, Fauci’s statement to Michael Specter is an admission of the sentiment that aligns the govt green light to require the jabs with the green light to juice the mortality numbers attributed to covid.

“Once people feel empowered and protected legally…”

Not too far after though. The audiobook was published Oct 2020.

I´m starting to go back and see a curious thing about Brazilian death statistics. The number of COVID deaths are always in line with excess mortality. Everywhere and all the time. Let´s say in prefecture "A" the number of deaths was 1200 and the normally expected would be 1000, then 200 covid deaths were listed. If prefecture "B" was normally expected to have 1000 deaths and 1000 deaths occurred, then prefecture "B" had no covid deaths. Yet, in both cases, the EXPECTED NUMBER OF PRE-PANDEMIC (or non-covid) RESPIRATORY DEATHS ALWAYS OCCURRED. So it´s like the entire Brazilian medical establishment, from North to South, East to West, big cities and small towns alike, knew exactly which respiratory illness was caused by covid-19. Remarkable!

That does not surprise me at all.

Have they finalized their data? (Meaning, do you have data files that are more recent than the ones you sent to me last year?)

Expand full comment

All of 2023 is now available - https://opendatasus.saude.gov.br/dataset/sim

Take a look at this graph, from the civil registry website, showing cause of death in broad categories (click on "causas respiratorias", which means respiratory causes):

https://transparencia.registrocivil.org.br/painel-registral/especial-covid

The dark green is non-specified respiratory distress, the light green is pneumonia, the dark grey is non-covid SARDS and the light grey is covid. The other colors are NON respiratory deaths. Pretty much ALL the excess death is reflected in the light grey. This is, from the statistical point of view, VERY ACCURATE, and also a bit ...... uncanny.

DO WE SEE A VACCINE EFFECT IN 2022, 2023? No comment.
