Your cherry picking accuser is a "fan of human rights" but welcomes vaccine mandates. :-/

A correlation matrix of all of the Our World in Data COVID-19 data.

I was looking for a correlation between total_deaths_per_million and people_vaccinated_per_hundred, but nothing on this spreadsheet. I would like to understand better the methodology used to produce this spreadsheet. I presume the factors listed are linear correlation coefficients?

See cell L39. 😊

Data from: https://covid.ourworldindata.org/data/owid-covid-data.csv

Column AH, tests_units, contains non-numeric data, so I deleted it.

In Excel: Data -> Data Analysis -> Correlation

Great! We are looking at the same data, should get in touch! For some complementary analysis, please also see: https://live2fightanotherday.substack.com/p/beware-of-greeks-bearing-gifts

Ref your tweet on Vietnam: start of COVID deaths vs start of vaccination program. I tried to make sense of this. See https://fifthestatepress.com/posts/status-2021110350003

"Substack seems to have changed its format so that I no longer have a pinned post" -- you might want to get with admin, your page looks different from all the rest I am subscribed to. The rest look the same as always, with a pinned post on top.

Very strange.

Looks fixed from my point of view!

Yeah, I found the setting. I may have accidentally botched it myself while playing with the colors.

Any thoughts on the unequal distributions of Deaths and AEs among differing VAX lots being indicative of either manufacturing variations, purposeful rolling out of different formulations as an experiment, or Doctors being ordered to stop reporting ADEs.

My favorite theory I have heard so far is that the lots that are not as deadly are ones that are not maintained in the correct temperature range and thus rendered "safe".

These questions have been on my mind as well. It seems like there are clusters of serious AEs. I've seen so many reported instances of large numbers of faculty at the same school being hospitalized, members of the same household, sports teams, etc. I'm not very mathy, but with the relative rarity of certain AEs, the odds of these clusters happening seems uncoincidental. Sadly, in order to get to the bottom of what is causing the (alleged) clusters, AEs would have to be officially acknowledged. 😕

I am still thinking it through. My first mortality analysis on Europe indicate a lot of deaths early on there. I have doubts that's due to one batch must less one vaccine type.

Dear Crawford,

I am again asking for an address where the bounty project may be sent to. Preliminary results may be seen at https://ibb.co/album/BHsNCK, caveats apply.

Even if this kept happening everywhere, how can you distinguish this from the very reasonable scenario in which cases cause vaccinations?

Aren't we bound to see a correlations there?

And if cases cause deaths aren't we going to see a correlation between deaths and vaccination too? And all of this is bound to happen regardless of actual effectiveness.

I've seen Chris on Twitter but hadn't watched any videos yet - that is a great one. The kind of thing I could imagine sending to an ... underinformed family / friend

Chris puts good time into his videos, so they are high quality views. I don't have much time for videos or podcasts lately, but listen or watch one three or four times a month.

Yeah, I move too fast not to make typos. Too much to do.
