What CBS Says vs. What CBS Shows

Last week, CBS once again took issue with the vaccination folds. Perhaps it would be better to leave the interpretation of causes of death to the RIVM. (I actually thought that was the way it was now.)

These are some graphs from the CBS report Covid Vaccination Status and Mortality. This shows mortality by vaccination status. The top one is per 100,000 deaths, the bottom one is in absolute numbers, i.e. how many deaths were counted per week.

Riddle 1

We see in the top graph that the number of deaths per 100,000 unvaccinated people doubled in the first half of 2021. It starts at about 14 per 100,000 and six months later the mortality rate has more than doubled: more than 30 per 100,000.

"Yes," Maarten Boudry would say, "that's because they weren't vaccinated, of course!" But this is the graph of non-covid mortality, so everything but covid, and the jab does not work -as far as we know- against cancer, heart failure, cerebral infarcts or rabid pangolins. If a medical intervention has such a large negative effect on the rest of the population, there is either something seriously wrong with the research (healthy vaccine effect?) or you should have seen it much earlier and stopped immediately. The latter did not happen. Of course not, because if you disregard the disease against which the vaccination is being given, the vaccination of one person does not affect the mortality rate of the other.

We won't talk about the huge mortality peak of the vaccinated at the beginning of the campaign, that probably has everything to do with small numbers, not being age-stratified, etc. etc...

Riddle 1: How can it be non-covidDouble the mortality rate of unvaccinated people in six months, just after the start of a vaccination campaign?

Riddle 2

In the lower part of the graph, it is striking that at the end of 2022, more deaths are counted among vaccinated people than at the beginning of 2021 among the entire population, when there was no vaccination yet. I have indicated this with dotted lines.

The difference is (optically) about 6% more mortality, while the vaccinated population was smaller: only 80%-85% of the total population. That's not good. The last quarter of 2022 (flu?) has hit the vaccinated particularly hard. Faltering immune systems?

What this graph does not show is that the deaths of the vaccinated and the unvaccinated must be added together to get a picture of the total non-covid mortality. That's what I've done in the image below. The height of the dotted lines is shown in bars below.

According to CBS, total non-covid mortality in December 2022 was between 15% and 20% higher than in January 2021.

Riddle 2: How can the vaccinated cause 85% of a population to cause more mortality than the total population prior to the vaccination campaign?

Note: Ageing and population growth are dwarfed by this

Afterburners

This was all about people who are not in long-term care. Has the other group, with long-term care, fared better? No: non-covid mortality did not increase by 20% but by about 60%: 1,000 in January 2021, 1600 in December 2022. See the green line in January 2021 for non-covid mortality among the total unvaccinated population and the blue line + the green line summed for non-covid mortality in December 2022. Below is the original CBS chart.

Exactly two weeks earlier, CBS headlined: "Mortality down in 2023". That's to be hoped after looking at 2022. But here too, you can look at the pleasant pieces of data, but the precautionary principle requires that you look for signals. So in that respect, we should not be with our government.

Recommended, highly recommended!

Finally, a somewhat heavier viewing tip that relates to the (government) information as we receive it. Crystal-clear story about how the misinformation movement was set in motion and how it takes hold with the incumbent, from NGOs to academia, politics and business. They want to keep their positions as they are and then democracy potentially becomes a huge problem. Imagine if they want something else? The solution lies in directing democracy with the right information (propaganda) and censorship of any dissent, including well-founded criticism.
