English is not my best language... so please help me. Is the point that Vietnam seemed to be weathering the pandemic using therapeutic, repurposed drugs, then changed course into mass vaccination only to have the pandemic spiral out of control?
Yes, it looks like it. The vaccines from the US were approved starting on June 12th and ending on July 15th and the cases soared by the end of July. It is a very unlikely coincidence.
I think the point is that with international money coming in for help with Covid-19 cases, the rate of "confirmed" cases went from virtually zero to astronomical, so as to attract more money...
Thanks for that. When the history of this pandemic is written, historians will mystified why even among researchers specifically investigating the radically reduced death rates of Asian countries compared to Western ones, none of them looked at what *treatments* were being used in those Asian countries.
It is important that we reach the point at which history gets written. Currently, that is not given, and the opposition is one that destroys history to cover its tracks.

Yes, thank you again for this. Learning a great deal from you.
Do you permit your publicly posted analyses to be republished? I'm simply curating publicly accessible information that I deem reliable. My site doesn't get a whole lot of traffic but it's steady and increasing. Nothing commercial, of course. Of course, all attributions are properly made.
Aye!

BTW: a reference by Dr. Peter McCullough with which you are probably already familiar, but in case you missed it, by Dr. Jessica Rose: 'A Report on the U.S. Vaccine Adverse EventsReporting System (VAERS) of the COVID-1 9Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) Biologicals.PDF' ==> https://hbnshow.com/martie/radio/Rose.stats.pdf
1. Thank you for asking regarding republishing. I would be perfectly happy with something like the first paragraph or two republished in any blog, followed by a link for where to find the rest.
2. I am in touch with Jessica almost daily. She is doing great work.
Thx for adding. I'd looked into her about 6 mos ago but couldn't find my file quickly to include in the post. I suppose one benefit from this madness continuing is we keep exposing more and more cancerous tumors.
When I read articles like the above and the preceding Uganda piece, my first thought is: "how has the COVID case/death measurement apparatus in this country changed over time?" If we can't confidently answer this question, then reported case/death trends are almost meaningless. I urge you to include this information in future articles. And if you cannot find it, then you should make this clear and make your assumptions explicit.
Consider that, for both Uganda and Vietnam, you report that (H)CQ was dropped, and deaths rose, shortly after major infusions of foreign cash. But did other changes in policy accompany this money, such as a broader testing regime, different test kits, or more expansive criteria for labeling something a "COVID" case/death?
What has been most crazy-making in this pandemic has been reading reporting and analyses of statistics with almost no attention paid to the underlying measurement apparatus. The MSM is the worst offender, but I find many well-intentioned independent analysts in the blogosphere doing the same.
People, especially intelligent people, like numbers because they are analytically tractable and you can tell a coherent story with them. But they are worse than useless when they don't actually represent the thing they claim to be representing. It's my sense that most of the official statistics in this pandemic are garbage, for the simple reason that the accounting methodology varies across space and time. That's because it's really hard to measure COVID cases and deaths.
Many will respond "well, it's the best we've got, so might as well work with it". But IMO this is a bad idea. It is only worth doing statistical analysis when you are confident in the source data. Without this confidence, you are better off delineating what we are ignorant about because of the lack of good data.
In any case, I respect your efforts here and will continue to support the blog, we need more smart people taking a critical eye to the narrative.
There is no possible way to know all the variables. If they are brought to my attention, I can include them. In the case of Uganda, I was in touch with Joel Bellenson for much of the pandemic---an ex-pat from the Stanford Human Genome Project. So, I had a good sense that no particular variables changed in the nation when HCQ treatment was dropped. Uganda had also published at least once about the success in hospital comparisons using HCQ (though different hospitals, so not the best retrospective, and nobody died either way).
I was also in touch with a Vietnamese doctor a year ago, though we have been out of contact recently.
I give you one example: In the UK COVID deaths are calculated where COVID is present, whereas influenza deaths are calculated where influenza is the cause. So, by UK gov stats in 2020, 614,114 people died from COVID (were COVID was present) and 20,523 from influenza and pneumonia (the cause of death). However, if you calculate deaths involving Influenza and Pneumonia then the number goes to 111,957.
One worry I have is that we're witnessing the most insidious form of warfare ever invented. If the dollar is getting weaker, but is still the reserve currency, excessive printing robs the world most of all (Cantillon suggests the printing source makes up for a lot of the inflation, but that's further paid for at the extremities of the empire), and we also convince/bribe public health officials to take steps that destroy economies (maybe even after destroying herd/super-immunity in densely population nations using vaccines that lower t cell counts), we might harm economies so much that it leads to tens of millions of deaths in those locales [or worse].
Warfare is typically one nation, tribe or people group attacking and/or fighting another. This seems more like a form of global genocide. The same vaccines used in Vietnam are (at this very hour) being deployed within the US and many other nations. Who is the target if not nearly anyone and everyone?
Have you listened to the interviews given in the late 80’s and early 90’s by Dr. Lawrence Dunegan alleging a confession of conspiracy during a pediatric conference by Dr Richard Day in 1969?
I try not to go too deep down rabbit holes but, well, 2021….
It’s mind blowing how the predictions are all lining up.
Actually, you're not allowed out of your home at all now in HCMC, even to buy food. And many people, even people with money, are going hungry because of inadequate plans to deliver food to people's homes. Some private internet people are taking orders for delivery, but prices are sky high and it takes days to get a delivery.

I think the point is that with international money coming in for help with Covid-19 cases, the rate of "confirmed" cases went from virtually zero to astronomical, so as to attract more money...
I think it is deeper than that. The money was already apportioned, there was no need to exaggerate the numbers.
No need to apologize. Murder is not my first language.
Thanks for that. When the history of this pandemic is written, historians will mystified why even among researchers specifically investigating the radically reduced death rates of Asian countries compared to Western ones, none of them looked at what *treatments* were being used in those Asian countries.

Hmm. Did a little more digging on 'Our World In Data'. Funding by not only Gates, but a German Billionaire, and ... the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia - https://twitter.com/JorJorWell/status/1432898139346845699?s=20
Thank you for the research. Additional observations:

Hi Mathew, that's fascinating. Where can I read more about the vax effects on T-cells?
Thanks for your valuable and diligent work.
