Jab them till you slab them. Still plenty of money to be made!

Much food for thought here, as always with your analyses. BUT... The PCR test is faulty and is to be withdrawn. Just how faulty might it be? I've read that it cannot differentiate between COVID and other similar viruses (flu, common cold...). Might it also not be able to distinguish between COVID infection and post-vax spike protein disease, thus the widely noticed post-vax rise in "infections" actually cases of vax-caused disease? I see the published studies' methods frequently report that the PCR test was used, without any qualification of number of cycles used... How reliable can statistical analyses be with such uncertainty?

they clearly have simply not vaccinated enough people yet

The linked article to "announced plans to vaccinate its entire adult population" described only the purchase of enough doses to do so, without an actual mandate. That is an important distinction. I do not know the level of coercion there by means of employment or access to services, but notably they do not require vaccination, testing, or quarantine for entering the country.

Matthew Crawford. I was turned on to you by Robert Barnes, and found your articles both enlightening and and interesting. They are hard for me to follow as I am an average guy with no formal education. I find myself googling whole articles just to understand one sentence you write in some cases. I figure, what the he'll at least I'm learning something.

Anyway below is a link to an article someome threw at me in a discussion that seems to point to a differing conclusion about Isreal than what you've reached, and I simply cannot understand what's being said. Can you maybe address it?
