I’ve been looking for an antonym of efficacy but couldn’t find one I like, so I’m reminded of the Verve song

“The drugs don’t work, they just make you worse”

Apparently Richard Ashcroft wrote the song about his father dying of cancer but most people assumed he was writing about recreational drugs.

Big Pharma knew what they were doing. They fixed the trials, they fixed the post-marketing studies, the knew about the efficacy illusion so they fixed the statistics, they fixed the politicians and they fixed the regulators. AZ had some ethical considerations by not pricing for profit, but Pfizer fixed them and eliminated a competitor.

Wondered Why AZ was destroyed.... Though maybe not a bad thing, just wish the truth for experimental gene therapies would make it into everyone's living room TV/Newspaper.

A midwestern doctor feels that a more 'conventional' vaccine - j&j in US, was thrown under the bus to advance the mnra platform while appeasing the public ( see, we are doing our job of regulating medicines!)

1. A couple interesting papers:

https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/201/2/186/2192007

(Recent flu vaccine avoidance predicts death.)

https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/170/5/650/102527

("Difference in differences" approach to estimating flu VE that takes into account disease prevalence.)

2. Is split-file analysis equivalent to the following conceptually?: You add an additional "demographic" of "date" to each person, and then stratify results by "date".

3. I'm a bit fuzzy on the difference between vaccination status predicting death and death predicting vaccination status.

Thanks for the refs! The dependent-independent flip no doubt fetches-up hysteresis of some sort (quasi-equivalent rather than equivalent) though it's best to think not so much about incidence of death but quality of death at death - we might pull up a pun and call it MEDCOAD (medical condition at death). The time-dependent flag to replace the split-file approach is something I'll be trying, though CDR will be covering this source of variance to an extent, as you shall see in part 4. I've a fair few ideas to try, then at some point I'll flip to stuffing vaccination status down as an independent in the prediction of one or more conditions.

Remember when Whitty, Valance and Van Tam presented us with pretty graphs and charts daily? I do, even though I don’t watch them 99% of the time I got the jist of the farce and hysteria they were pushing.

They proudly presented them with glee to the public, then suddenly overnight the drawbridge is pulled up to be never mentioned again.

While not officially announced over until recently by the WHO, we were told overnight we had to live with it.

Meanwhile they’re still pushing the shots, in the background guys like you are pulling the numbers together.

Yellow card is showing up half a million people, yet we’re still treated to the same verbal garbage of sage, effective and extremely rare. By now the government has a great deal of info on the numbers of safety, efficacy, the damaged hasn’t even hit nowhere near its peak yet.

They need to provide the proof of what they’re saying, we know they won’t because they know it would hit the fan.

They’re eager to show the propaganda, we had it daily, now we want the real hardcore data we’re met with silence.

If these jabs saved lives, without harm they would be shouting it from the rooftops, they wouldn’t be able to contain themselves, their silence and ignoring the excess deaths shows they know exactly what’s going on and don’t want to address it.

Quite. The silence is deafening, as they say. I'm going to bet nobody is put behind bars or even brought before a jury.

Wow! The discussion of your hypothetical chart of infections waning and vaccine take off and the statistical consequences are clearly explained. But my head started to hurt after a few more charts!! Cake didn't do it. Will try a gin and tonic...or two.

Awesome work!!!

Now there's a fine drink! Sometimes I will confuse myself, and a chart that made perfect sense at 4am causes confusion at 11am. This might be the big breakfast effect kicking in (grain brain).

You need to write a novel or try stand up comedy! Your articles are always so entertaining to read, aside the statistical outing of a psychopathic bio terror plot to bring war to the whole of humanity and ultimately institute a 24-7 total surveillance slave society. How I can laugh out loud and feel rage and sadness and yet informed at the same time is a special skill.

I suspect laughter is our best weapon; that and sticking together through whatever the sociopaths have got lined-up. It can't be much fun being a sociopath knowing that you've not killed anywhere near as many people as you dreamed, and that if you don't kill everybody soon (including yourself) then humanity is likely to flourish despite the worst of intentions.

I firmly believe in the fullness of time this PsyOp will implode on itself. It’s just taking it’s time but then it has been in the pipeline for at least my lifetime (52 yrs old) so I get that it doesn’t just stop or go away. Feeling like being part of The Resistance definitely helps keep the spirits up. And reading statistics with humour just helps little bit more.

And you have helped me move on from the PTSD I had from sitting in statistics lectures and losing the will to live, thinking I understood fully to come exam time learn I knew nothing.
