Here’s a good find by Chief Nerd, confirming our analysis in the above article, that one of the most popular CDC COVID vaccine effectiveness charts is based on fatally flawed data. https://x.com/thechiefnerd/status/1749067856665248102

Chief Nerd points to a paper that shows 44% of people who were labeled “uncertain” and presumed unvaccinated for CDC purposes, were in fact vaccinated. https://academic.oup.com/jamiaopen/article/6/2/ooad026/7117831

The mortality results in the Pfizer and Moderna gold-standard randomized clinical trials (the ONLY truly unbiased mortality data) were "4 killed for every 3 saved", even at the height of the pandemic:

COVID deaths: 2 vaccine vs. 5 placebo

non-COVID deaths: 29 vaccine vs. 25 placebo

Pfizer: https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMoa2110345/suppl_file/nejmoa2110345_appendix.pdf – Table S4

Moderna: https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMoa2113017/suppl_file/nejmoa2113017_appendix.pdf – Table S26

I had not seen this June 2023 testimony, where former CDC director Rochelle Walensky admitted the CDC did not have aggregate data on hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccination status. Which is exactly what we said in the above article. The CDC chart Dr. Hotez and so many others refer to is, like we said, invalid. The CDC does not supply the raw data, source, or methodology behind the chart's construction, and now they admit they didn't have the necessary data.

See video of Walensky's testimony: https://twitter.com/thechiefnerd/status/1668684433363202053

Please…… Help Fight Against the Sale of Children for the Purpose of Sex Trafficking and Child Pornography

1. Watch this entire trailer……

2. Go see this movie when it opens on July 4th, and………

3. Consider Paying it Forward

The Sound of Freedom

https://www.angel.com/pay-it-forward/sound-of-freedom

This is a true story. I watched an hour long interview with Tim Ballard, the subject of this movie, and Jim Caviezel. Tim quit his job as a Department of Homeland Security Special Agent so that he could literally, 'save the kids'.

He is 'The Real Deal'. Jim Caviezel is the actor who plays him in this movie.

These men are literally doing 'God's Work', Tim, by performing this work, and Jim by shining a light on this literal EVIL that is among us. For instance, at my workplace, two men were fired and incarcerated within the last 6 months for child pornography. That happened because they were 'incautious' enought to watch it on a government computer. Think of how many are watching on their private computers, and don't get caught. This is a huge problem worldwide, and our country is a primary contributor to this (no other word for it but)…….. Pure Evil.

We have a moral obligation to do what we can to fight against this….

Please help.

Please take a material step and stand up for goodness, on this Independence Day.

Thank you, Elizabeth

The issue of regaining trust is fairly separate from the issue of getting the data and analysis right. Debate is a great way to do trust, but a terrible way to deal with data and analysis.

but a great way of letting people know what they don't know: that vaccine companies have no liability and that childhood vaccines have not been trialed against a true placebo for a sufficient length of time. most people, including scientists in other disciplines and doctors, have incorrect assumptions about vaccines and would be horrified to learn that they've been wrong all these years

Yes. Good point. We need both formal analysis and public discussion.

“Scientists” scrambling to cover their butts, not discover truth. Tragic for science and the world.

A debate would increase the number of sceptics. They know they have no case. At best they think vaxxxes are good overall so lying to promote them is OK!

Sorry, but this vaccination subscription model is something I will opt out of.

The Hotez video is priceless.

There were no errors or mistakes; all of the modeling, stats, etc were intentional, to flog the narrative, maintain fear for much of the global population & cover up the diabolical truth of what was & is intentionally being done

If you are an avowed vaccinazi, then data does not matter and the FDA, CDC, AMA and big pharma are your partners for life. The payola you get cements your life long status in the vaccine cults as another captured zombie.

Nice number crunching, all we have had is smoke and mirrors to cover up a nanoparticle bioweapon. Great work CDC, either they are all incredibly stupid or corrupt. Mmmmm I wonder...

This is outstanding analysis by Bret. I remember well the weeks of stories, screaming "everyone who is in the hospital with Covid is unvaccinated." The opposite was more likely to be true. Talk about brazen lies.

So people who tell brazen lies should be considered as .... what they are ... brazen liars.

Instead, they’re deified & elevated to make pompous prognostications & scold or threaten the plebs from perches in the lame street media.
