This is not a “CORRUPT” number as DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES ARE NOT EASILY FAKED OR CORRUPTED AND ARE VERY ACCURATE.

550,000/36,000=15 …ROUGHLY.

As to attribution, the increasing difference of total deaths/month from the recent decadal norm started sharply in about March 2020 at the time of the great china-covid infection increase and increased to about 550,000/year above the norm roughly. What else was the cause? Are the elderly and weak dying at an increased 550,000 per year rate since march 2020 by coincidence?

Edward has said this extraordinary excess death rate of half a million/year is mostly due to EXTRA deaths by suicide, cancers, heart disease, and other indirect causes due to government covid over-reaction, such as restricting Hospital services. This does not seem reasonably credible to me. If he or RZ or anyone can justify this extraordinary assertion with national statistics then lets see it.
Edwards justification is the plot of the CDC’s “estimate” of Covid caused deaths..But aren’t the CDC’s numbers corrupted and unreliable as Edward and others have been saying? I certainly do not trust them. That is why I use total deaths versus total deaths. It is difficult to ascertain cause when multiple diseases are acting together, especially in the elderly and infirmed; and this is what Edward and others have been saying for over a year, and I agree!

https://wmbriggs.com/post/38241/

BUT EVEN if you accept the plot Edward provided above (which reduces “Covid” deaths by about 140,000/year) and use the more accurate 664,000 death/year year over year total death increase (see above), you can calculate (664,000-140,000)/36,000= 14.55 increased lethality, which is still ROUGHLY 15 times as lethal than “normal” flu!!

It does not matter that many of these people had other diseases or were elderly and weak BECAUSE this is the same group that dies of “normal” flu. The approximate 2 week lagging correlation of death rate spikes with known infection rate spikes is again hardly coincidental and FURTHER INDICATION OF THE CAUSE/EFFECT RELATION OF COVID-19 TO THESE DEATHS. Whether this is a flu virus or not, it is roughly 15 times as lethal as the “normal” flu.

I originally held this view (or hope) of normal flu like mortality rates myself, but the facts would not support it. This is not “fear and panic” talking, but simple rationality. Edward’s and RZ’s response to these facts sounds more like confirmation bias, or an inability to simply admit they were wrong, as I was also wrong.
I find these statements with regard to covid-19 lethality specifically, and the fervid attempts to find other causes, bizarre. Such questionable statements simply fan the flames of general public fear and dismissal of “right wing nuts”.

In the reference link sited by RZ:
https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/essays-and-commentaries/covid-19-the-unwarranted-panic/

is the quote “This is a death rate[in S. Korea] of 0.9%, higher than the flu’s 0.1% but not horribly so.”
Thus, an early confirmation from RZ himself that Covid-19 is roughly a factor of 9 worse than “common” flu viruses, and not “quite comparable to the ORDINARY flu”. THUS THE EXTRAORDINARY NATURE OF THE COVID VIRUS WAS NOT UNEXPECTED EARLY ON.

Although I agree with the overriding conclusion of the post. The number of people in the U.S. mortally threatened (ie needing hospitalization) of covid was about 4 in 1000 per year. The number of covid-19 induced deaths is about half of that(0.2% of the population)…hardly an existential crisis warranting the egregious devastation of an economy, personal finances, private businesses, education, and the social health and happiness of entire societies.

“A substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease.”

These covid VACCINES are not therapeutics and cannot be used as such or considered such since they must be employed before infection, even Edward should be able to figure this out(but maybe not), and do not have to be 100% preventative to be an effective “vaccine”. Vaccines that don’t work well on some older people (far below 100% because they have very poor immune systems) are still “vaccines”. Vaccines do not have to be 100% preventative on all people to be a “vaccine”. Any substance that enhances immune response by the method described in the definition is a vaccine….it may or may not be safe and effective. A covid vaccine (see definition above) that reduces death and hospitalization by 80 or 90% is still an effective vaccine. If you were a high risk person and would rather have gotten very sick(even deathly sick) and gone to the hospital and relied on therapeutics to save your life from the original or delta covid variant, so be it.

Edward likes to pretend that these vaccines HAVE not been effective and certainly useful for high risk people. He rightly notes that therapeutics are getting better and the new variants are getting much less dangerous so vaccines are becoming pointless for all but a few. But this is irrelevant to his original inane statement ie “In reality, we learned that the vaccines are ineffective.”

https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2582

He will not admit the proper definition of either vaccine or therapeutic, and will not admit their proven effectiveness in reducing death and hospitalization in high risk groups…what a foolish response.

Note that all-cause deaths have not been so very terrible, and that in the U.S. they are now only about as bad as a bad flu year. Also note that in England and Wales, the Wuhan flu was never worse than the bad flu years of 1999 and 2000.

Covid, mRNA “vaccinations”, yearly required injections to function in your own country and its all overseen by an FDA that funds the government agency that regulates it to the tune of billions of dollars?

We are all but grist for the mill that is government. Eventually it will all be revealed because that is what the Constitution provides.

The only question that remains to be seen is if it will come too late in today’s highly technologically infested and manipulated world.

Edward: If you can afford it, look for a concierge doctor, like I have. (See this post.) They usually cost about $1800 per year, but you end up with a real doctor whom you can talk to, when needed. And they are almost always individuals who are doing this because they wanted out of the insurance/government racket that no rules most medicine. They wanted to get back to treating their patients.

When I asked my doctor what to do if I test positive or otherwise get sick, she said to call her, and she will ask questions but will send me to the hospital for therapeutics. This means that I have to trust strangers to provide something that the government has told hospitals to not provide or that government has rationed.

I need a new doctor.

Bobby Hill,
Did you hear a great “whooosh” sounds as my post went over your head? I did some research and presented findings.

Oh, and by the way, asking Robert was your stated position, implying (intentionally) that Robert was wrong. You had a stated position, but that fact went over your own head. Of course, any source that does not conform to your position would automatically be considered by you to be not reliable. We already know from your past comments on other threads that you are not willing to learn, so you are not the target audience. It isn’t as though your mind is open to ideas.

But if you want to troll us, we get to troll back. Goose/gander.

Doctor Mist asked: “I substantially agree with most of what you say here, but I am really curious about this trope that what we have been offered are not ‘vaccines’. They are an injection of material that stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies to the disease, thereby giving you a leg up if you are ever exposed to the disease, so that maybe you fight off the disease before it even gets a toehold, or maybe you get a much milder case. I don’t know what else you would mean by ‘vaccine’.”

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/vaccine
1. any preparation used as a preventive inoculation to confer immunity against a specific disease, usually employing an innocuous form of the disease agent, as killed or weakened bacteria or viruses, to stimulate antibody production.

If it fails to confer immunity, it is not a vaccine. The shots do not confer immunity, and as Max noted they eventually become worse than useless, making us more susceptible to infection. Something that gives a “leg up” to make a milder case may be a therapeutic provided in advance of infection, but by definition it is not a vaccine.

Doctor Mist will not be my new doctor.

“the entire meta-narrative that is constructed around you is {expletive}, and it’s {expletive} to enslave you…”

The “Vaccine” terminology is deceptive in this case because the colloquial understanding of “vaccine” has always been a treatment that provides effective immunity forever. This should be obvious for anyone who lived through the last two years and observed how BigGov+BigPharma alliance deliberately used “vaccine” and “anti-vaxxer” as propaganda terms.

It is one thing to say, “I think a vaccine should be required to ” and another statement entirely to say, “I think a treatment that is less than 1% effective (ARR) for a period of approximately 4-6 weeks should be required to .” These are not equivalent statements at all, but the propaganda efforts were specifically geared towards deceiving people into believing they are. The psychopaths even went so far as to change the definition of “vaccine” multiple times to facilitate this deception.

The entire episode casts a deserved negative pall Big Pharma, and rightfully so. If Big Pharma are willing to lie as much, and as badly as they have on Sars-Cov-2, it’s rational to re-evaluate the trust that has been placed into other products and system.

VAERS, for example, is revealed to be a completely-ineffectual system. We know now that the formulae used to calculate what is seen as a “dangerous” level of AEs is actually completely broken — For all practical purposes this system can never detect dangerous AEs because the calculations used by the FDA & CDC to classify abnormally high rates of AE is too heavily weighted.
We also see that medical ethics are more-or-less completely absent. These treatments were recommended to children who are at effectively zero risk from Sars-Cov-2 infection, but cause severe AEs at a rate greater than 1/1000. This is dumbfoundingly criminal behavior, but no one at the FDA, CDC, Hospitals, Insurance Cos, or GPs spoke up to protect individuals.

It’s also correct & warranted to question the fundamental assumptions about vaccines as a technology. Vaccines, for example, are frequently credited for eliminating polio. However, cases of polio declined 90% over a period in which vaccines were not available. Similar declines are noted for other diseases whose decline is typically attributed to vaccines. How much of what we attribute to vaccines was actually attributable to other environmental changes? It’s clear that the scholarship we’ve been fed contains falsehoods, and it’s imperative to challenge it with independent research as well as develop better ways to filter & hold accountable those producing fraudulent research.

The root of the problem is lack of accountability. A functional system will eliminate actors who act badly (whether by mistake, or intention) by firing them or otherwise removing them from positions of authority. Instead, what we have is a dysfunctional system where not even literally-globe-spanning screwups that cost millions of lives results in any meaningful consequence to anyone.

It is transparently obvious that malicious actors such as Fauci deserve execution for propagating known lies. Lesser functionaries who were ignorant but still complicit deserve severe punishments as well. Moreover, we must completely abolish the FDA, CDC, and prosecute organizations like Pfizer, Moderna, & WHO as the criminal organizations that they are.

Since none of these important corrective actions are being taken, the rot will get worse. Consider what the next crisis is bound to look like. It is almost impossible to comprehend failure on the scale of Covid-19, and yet the problems will only grow more severe.

The only solution is accountability, real accountability with blood and teeth.

This has NOT been the policy of the Federal government, nor their propaganda arm the MSM / big tech Social Media overlord censors.

Speller: Great point about the PCR test. You also reminded me that I did not add the dishonest reporting of COVID deaths. The numbers were clearly exaggerated because hospitals got bonuses for reporting a death as caused by COVID rather than something else.

I expect my readers will chime in with innumerable other examples of dishonest lying related to the Wuhan panic that I forgot to mention.

Doctor Mist asked, “Where is this coming from?”

It is coming from the complete loss of trust that I and most ordinary people now have of the people advocating these shots. There has been too much hanky-panky, including actions designed not only to force people to get these shots, paid for by the federal government, but deny them the right to choose alternative treatments.

The whole point of my essay is this lying, and the resulting loss of trust. You illustrate only one example.

And the *NEW* technology mRNA spike protein based “vaccine” which is fast and effective in producing waning anti bodies for approx. 10 weeks. And it may give you myocarditis, or a blood clot, or extended periods, or a miscarriage, or make you feint and crack your skull open and kill you. Stay tuned on what the long-term effects may be its all experimental by definition. Mot in the short term appear to not be negatively affected.

Other than that I suggest it for those older and at highest risk of succumbing to Covid.

They are an injection of material that stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies to the disease, thereby giving you a leg up if you are ever exposed to the disease, so that maybe you fight off the disease before it even gets a toehold, or maybe you get a much milder case. I don’t know what else you would mean by “vaccine”.

Yes, some vaccines are more effective than others, or more long-lasting than others — some of the inoculations we receive as children give you 98% protection and last effectively your whole life, others need boosters after ten years or so, and (as you say) flu shots give you maybe 65% protection and typically wane in months. And there are diseases, like flu and covid, that are especially adept at mutating, so a vaccine for last year’s strain may be disappointing on this year’s strain.

All of these are things one can say, and are helpful to remember in assessing risk as you live your life. But it’s distinctly unhelpful to act like they are a big hoax, like they are injecting you with saline and pretending it’s medicine. Where is this coming from??

In the middle of the most severe symptoms which for me was extreme weakness, I was in bed and realized my side door was unlocked after having my neighbors watching my store for the day and went to lock it.

I managed get out to the door and as I am attempting to put the key in the lock I feel myself going down. How did I fall? My knees buckled and I floated down onto my back, luckily missing the edge of the slate steps that were nearby. I didn’t feel a thing.

And then I laid there for about 45 minutes without the strength to turn myself over and get up. I laid there and thought “Well I guess this is where they are going to find me in the morning”. It was a crystal-clear night and I laid there on my back and just stared at the stars trying to figure how I was going to get back to my bed.

So thinking about these two comedians and their situations I can identify with them both. Two of us apparently were luckier than the other. I am not Vaxed and so either way you must assume that Covid one way or another can get you.

“Bob Saget Autopsy: Major Head Trauma with Multiple Skull Fractures”

“Comedian Heather McDonald Says She Won’t Get 4th Covid Jab After Collapsing on Stage, Fracturing Skull”

Yes, they are both comedians, if either is your taste in comedy. But what else do they have in common?

Both recently had their booster Vax and one dies. Apparently, he fell in his hotel room and then went to bed, and it is revealed that he had a fractured skull.

And the other was witnessed to feint during a performance and hit the back of her head as she was bragging about how she just got her third vax, and apparently also fractured her skull.

Seems like a correlation to receiving the Vax but the effects are not exactly what one would expect. But there it is all the same.

I wonder if both of them happened to play soccer during the day before their unfortunate event? Now that would be interesting if they did.

That point is that the PCR test, which all of those terrifying case numbers were based on which was the “curve that needed flattening”, and the PCR test was never meant to discover covid and has a 90% false positive result.
Those case numbers created nearly all of the fear and yet the numbers were meaningless, they might as well have been pulled out of thin air.

I think the difference is how medical treatments are determined and administered is now decide by executives within massive hospital conglomerates, and before it was administered by private doctors in their offices.

Most doctors now work for the massive conglomerates due to the prohibitive nature of being on one’s own.

And that model lends itself to the perversions we see before our own eyeballs.

You want to lose your medical license? You push against the machine that has a financial interest in a particular mode of treatment that serves their financial and, in this case, political agenda.

You as a private practitioner want to stand against Collins, Fauci and the NIH / CDC who were in bed with the Wuhan lab / CCP? Initially scientists reasonably identified the SARS COV2 virus was more than likely the result of manipulation in a lab and not the result of a natural source.

Then the phone call was made, and / or those scientists apparently realized from where their funding came from and got their opinions right.

No more emergency powers for “public health” reasons. None. Not ever.

Hospitals and other “health” facilities must never be allowed to limit visitors or force visitors into wearing crap on their faces or proving they’ve had an injection. Assisted Living Facilities, same thing. We must not let the pseudo-medical-so-called-experts influence us in any way. If I decide I need inside the facility, that’s where I go, and I go without facial covering or injection.

We must reestablish sovereignty in all areas of our lives.
