Mathew, I deeply appreciate your time, money, effort, sacrifice here and ongoing for humanity. That's probably no consolation to what you have sacrificed. As much as trusting the science, RCTs etc, that one would have believed in 1 year ago, it's nice to have someone like you who hasn't been corrupted (or so it seems😉). I recognize there are multiple explanations for what the data flushes out and our leaders wouldn't want to think that hard. It might collapse the house of cards. Have you been following Coque de.Chien and his case in Massachusetts for falsifying death certificates. I feel like there needs to be a war room where a group of you locks yourselves in the room and hash out theories and possibilities. If you do that, I would love to see that live from a zoom link. It would be fascinating to listen to a group of thinkers! I may not understand it all, but I am sure the energy in the room would be something to witness. Again, thanks for carrying on!!!

We are friends and talk fairly frequently. His is one of the most solid projects of the pandemic. I will have him on RTE when he is ready.

This is why I will continue to pay for this 'stack in perpetuity.

I live in WV & I personally know many more healthy people who died from the jab versus Covid.

Not ONE autopsy was done on anyone I know or the MANY people I’ve talked to who died after getting the jab!

Hitlers doctors got the death penalty for exterminating Jews with bad medicine/vaccines & that’s why our CDC & FDA put into place the major testing before any vaccine/medication can be used.

Now if someone is dying from a disease & would like to try a new medication that hasn’t been released I think that ok.

But this whole Covid Plandemic was created in a lab in China that Fauci & USA was funding, they released it on people & then used the state owned media to scare so many into compliance.

Now that the truth is coming out more people are waking up.

We need to unite to beat the Evil Elites!

During 2020, the implied average age among the excess deaths was higher than life expectancy. It has since dropped 17 years. There is clearly a new variable. The vulnerability of all demographics does not shift dramatically in the middle of a pandemic.

Don't fall for the China scapegoating. Other potential sites for the creation of SARS-Cov-2 are UNC, Ft. Detrick and Winnipeg. There's as much evidence for them as for Wuhan, but corporate media point only at Wuhan.

However, Emerald Robinson just released a substack saying that Tom Renz now has a whistle blower testifying that it was in fact created at WIV, but with NIH and DoD funding laundered through EcoHealth.

This is probably going to be what makes the difference. Eventually, everyone is going to know someone who was injured or killed by the jab. Most people are innumerate, so statistical arguments don't affect them. 2020 proved this conclusively. But people will understand and be moved by personal tragedy. Sadly, I think this is the only way forward.

My list of first degree separation people dead or injured from Covid is 2, neither of which is severe. From the clotshots: 16, all severe or dead or soon will be dead.

I'm sorry to hear that. Many people I know share stories of one to several people they know who have died. People in corporate networks seem to know more, so far as I can tell.

Be well.

16 has turned to 19 since my previous post. The last three include my dental hygienist young woman deep venous thromboses, an AA pilot with labile hypertension and new vision problems, and a friend since the age of 9 who has shortness of breath and newly diagnoses pulmonary emboli. There is a pandemic, a pandemic of vaxx death and maiming caused by clotshots. And my circle of friends and acquaintances is by no means large. I've been retired for 20 years.

Thanks. Actually, after Iwrote that I remembered a 3rd who was injured by the virus way back in April 2020. Very severe injury with primary pulmonary hypertension after a mild case of Covid. That woman, who was an extremely fit, retired firefighter, is now oxygen dependent at altitude and cannot tolerate exertion at sea level. Her case opened my eyes to the fact that the virus was not just the flu, after all. Confirmed to me by Pierre Kory’s US Senate testimony.

These clear rates of CFR cry out for an explanation. Something I would want to check is whether they correlate temporally with the "bad batches" of vaccine as indicated by VAERS data.

Yes I believe that most peoples' perception of the excess deaths due to these vaxxines is obscured by their naturally low level of experience with regular causes of death. For people that only encounter death among friends and family relatively rarely (the norm) it isn't apparent when an increase occurs even when this may be statistically significant.

There is an undeniable increase in excess mortality which can't be hidden but will be explained away by other causes. One device is to count deaths within 21 days post jab as unvaccinated deaths often from covid-19. Nice trick if you can get away with it, and they did.

Yet the scale of non-fatal adverse health effects from these vaxxines is far greater but much easier to disguise as being due too other factors. Lockdowns are now the scapegoat for sudden adult death syndrome.

I have intended to write an article sometime about the difficulty in human observation of relatively rare events. I need to find the time to map out that article.

What you said about lockdowns is part of the reason we should not *only* focus on one type of statistic, such as all-cause mortality. It's great that a bunch of people are doing so, but the best collection of analyses involves approaching the problem from many vectors.

Expand full comment

I run into that rebuttal a lot as well, "I don't know anyone who died from the shot." Yet others know several that have been seriously harmed/killed.

My parents got the new booster and won't listen to anything I say. They've never had a bad reaction to the shot, nor covid, so the media, government and their personal experience tells them I'm fallen for disinfo.

Expand full comment

Even those who play Russian roulette with a loaded revolver and survive can claim they suffered no harm but that isn't the same as believing there was no risk taken.

Glad to learn your parents had no ill effects (yet) but they should count themselves lucky and consider that you also haven't suffered despite not taking the additional risk of an experimental vaxxine. So which of you has taken the path of least risk?

Expand full comment

I wish they wouldn't, but I've not had any success trying to convince anyone that they shouldn't take these shots. The deck is really stacked against us unless the person experiences something first hand. I think that's the way most people are wired....

The problem with both "Covid cases" and "Covid deaths"is that the data in most countries (given that Covid resp[onse and "management" was obviously globally coordinated) has been highly manipulated for political reasons. Many statisticians such as Prof. Norman Fenton believe that it is only meaningful to analyze ACM and Excess deaths to address indirectly the issue of "vaccine" mortality..

CFR may still produce indicative data (as here) and I raise this more as a question than a statement.

There are problems with all cause mortality as well.

All statistics are dirty, but all data is useful. The trick is finding ways to isolate variables and their impacts, and make use of consistency.

I have a hard time understanding why anyone would not incorporate this analysis into their big picture view of the pandemic. In the West, CFR most fell throughout the pandemic. Vaccine rollout was exceptional with respect to its rising, and it rose in most of those nations during vaccine rollout. The U.S. and France, the two nations with likely the most forewarning of the pandemic's emergence in China, are two notable exceptions. I haven't yet looked as closely at France, but the change in testing policy in the U.S. is highly suspicious. Perhaps some RTE reader will have read something that will bring to light exactly what took place.

If you have some free time (and I know you don't) maybe you could look at the all-cause mortality in Chile. In addition to being highly vaxxed, their insane public health director had a theory that mixing vaccines gives people a broader range of protection - people got injected with an unholy series of shots combining various Chinese vaxxes, AstraZeneca, mRNA and J&J.

Here's the raw data:

https://github.com/MinCiencia/Datos-COVID19/tree/master/output/producto96

Here's a PNG they made showing how excess all cause mortality was up, but after some negative publicity when it was high, it now seems back to normal for all-ages:

"CFR most fell throughout the pandemic"

because the denominator (total cases) kept increasing

All-cause mortality declined during the lockdowns / shutdowns. Fewer auto and industrial accidents.

If you fail to look at mortality by age, you will fall for Simpson's Paradox and miss what has been going on.

In which two adult age groups did mortality DECLINE in 2021 v. 2020?

In which adult age groups did mortality INCREASE in 2021 v. 2020?

"We have a serious lack of stats minds caring to work on these problems. This is concerning. We will not achieve a world of great freedom and prosperity without people taking responsibility for sorting out challenging problems during challenging times."

I have a stats mind, and have been following analysts from the start like Ethical Skeptic and Eugippus. I mainly do GIS/Geospatial analysis in my employment. I don't have all the datasets at hand and don't know what analysis would be useful or is outstanding at this point in time. Maybe I'll email you some day.

There are many datasets worth exploring that are easy to download. For some analyses, we have put together county-level data from multiple sources. It's a bit of a time commitment, but worth it. The ONS, CDC, and OWID data sets are easy to download.

When you cover up the immediate mortality, you sell people on safety and efficacy. By the time the numbers catch up to reality, most people have picked their side.

So much of this issue is reliant on perceptions that are apparently easily manipulated given the MSM messaging reinforced by Bigtech. There's no doubt that lockdowns were negative and negative actions have negative impacts. Exploiting a negative to mask other causes is deceitful with the only positive being that it makes future lockdown attempts less likely.

The major problem with finding the correct number of vaccine deaths is that most were not reported & the doctors/hospitals marked most deaths as heart attacks & strokes or blood clots but because they were paid by the government to keep their mouths shut they didn’t bother to do any autopsies on the unknown 100,000 to 1,000,000 of healthy people who have died after the depopulation vaccine???
