I’m a huge Daniel Horowitz fan. He had Jessica Rose on recently and I asked him to follow-up with her off-line to get her take on your take on Andrew Huff. He’s just one of those people whom my ears completely disbelieve and whose stories make my eyes go squinty In skepticism. So your little commentary on him perked my interest - confirmation bias accepted!

The one thing that struck me about the DMED data is that it originally seemed to me to be akin to doctor visit numbers, not cases or individuals. So even if the numbers weren’t wrong, how they were presented was misleading. I am no math wiz, but I was good at math thru high school and did well in logic. But my 4th grader’s Singapore Math makes me feel stupid. That said, I still feel like any DMED data is going to appear exponentially greater than VAERS as each case would be represented in DMED as several appointments. My mom as example: she went deaf in an ear from Moderna 2nd shot. She had at least 4 appointments with the ENT/audiologist. She had a neurology referral. Her MRI on her ears was normal, but there was a small calcification in her brain. That generated a CT scan and more neurology referrals, a 6-month follow-up, and yearly scans etc. The ENT also found a thyroid nodule so that meant FNA (biopsies) and endocrinologist appointments. ENT was not happy with the Endo and has my mom follow-up with her. So in VAERS (which the ENT did not enter) my mom would be 1 case. In DMED she’d be at least 12 appointments for everything. So how can you compare? Each AE generates different numbers of appointments. Right?

My mom turned out fine with everything. She saw the ENT within 24 hours of hearing loss and got steroids right away, she had a near complete hearing recovery and both audiologist and ENT were pleasantly surprised she recovered her hearing at all. They don’t think she would have if she delayed treatment or went to a PCP first. So make note, take immediate action if you ever get sudden hearing loss. Calcification is likely from the time she linked her head on a fallen tree across a trail, and her thyroid nodule is non-cancerous. 🎉 She’s not feeling the cost benefit of the shots. At least that did more than my pleadings to stop the rest of my family from getting any boosters!

You're right about each illness generating numerous all occurrence reports.

I think your intuition is telling you something astute with respect to Huff. I don't have time now, but after working and chatting online with him for several months the red flags piled high. I believe he is a sculpted construct, assigned to play a theatrical role. Amd I have a small mountain of chat logs that support that judgment.
