Kathryn Huwig's 'Beyond the Data'

HOW TO BOIL A FROG:

Imagine that someone was able to collect information on occurrences of chest pain in every "otherwise healthy" university student, staff member or faculty in North America that were exposed to chemicals as part of their studies, employment, or tenure.

1/...

Data was collected for decades from the beginning of Sept. to the end of April - every year.

"Inclusion criteria" included all of the above - and "otherwise healthy" was defined as NO previous episodes of chest pain prior to enrollment, employment, tenure - AND..

2/...

...NO pre-existing history of cardiac problems, hypertension or respiratory health issues.

Data for male & female subjects is separated and comparison between to the two is analyzed.

HOWEVER...

🧵Well, yesterday, Dr. Vanderhoff in his press conference finally got with the program and said "We are seeing early indicators that cases appear to be peaking and beginning to point toward a decline."

(video: tinyurl.com/3e2khvxx)

I'm so glad he's so timely with that information. Although to anyone who actually looks at the data itself, it's been pretty clear for weeks now that we are declining.

Not 'starting', not 'early indicators' not 'appears' - it's right there, glaringly obvious, nothing but their own data, attached to this post and a hundred others just like it for all to follow along.

Below is a response I made (to someone else's comment) on the "Charles McVety Report" FB page, under the post I shared on FB a couple of days ago:

[See thread below.]

1/...

A completely unique, completely faulty, and all-inclusive "case definition" (aka "inclusion criteria" for data) was invented for CV-19 that no other respiratory virus has ever had.
(health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/program…
and
publichealthontario.ca/en/diseases-an…
and...

2/...

health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/program…
and
canada.ca/en/public-heal… )

"Hospitalizations", "ICU Admissions", "Deaths", etc. are all just subsets of the total number of "cases" (aka "positive" test results) - and as such are subject to the same "case definition".

1) Common themes in this @OntHumanRights statement:
- "protect people at work"
- "collectively protect the general public"
- "collective rights to health and safety"

ohrc.on.ca/en/news_centre…
1/...

- "unless it would significantly interfere with people’s health and safety"
- "public health and safety"
- "would significantly compromise health and safety"

2/...

Their (and the government's) ENTIRE justification for vaccine mandates is that the unvaccinated pose a risk to the health & safety of others.

This however is steeped in logical fallacies.

@IamMonicaRae

Congresswoman Cory Bush (D) of Missouri voted to defund the police but paid $70,000 of tax prayer money for personal security. And she said you can suck it up because SHE needs to protection.

She also blamed needing security on white supremacy and racism.

Mayor of SanFran London Breed cut $120m from the SF police dept while increasing the security detail of public officials from $1.7m to $2.6m over a five year period.

1/ @APDillon_ @jonpsanders @JohnLockeNC @markrobinsonNC @Chad_Adams NC C19 trends through 7/27/21. NCDHHS consistently modifies their dashboard (adds tests which ⬇️ incidence) and adds death data as far back as 6/20, & is no longer updating on weekends.

2/ Overall incidence is 7.26% and has never been at 5% since testing began; no statistically significant change since the mask mandate. Overall incidence 7/28/20: 7.56%, 7/27/21: 7.26%

3/ Daily incid b/w 3.12% & 11.19% over last 14 days. Avg daily incid for 7/21 (5.2%) significantly <7/20 (8.1%). Avg daily incid: May: 6.8% June: 7.6% July 8.1% Aug 6.9% Sept 5.7% Oct 6.4% Nov 7.4% Dec 10.9% Jan 12.0% Feb 7.9% Mar: 5.4% Apr: 5.8% 5/21: 4.4%

@vijayanpinarayi

क़रीब 3.5 करोड़ की जनसंख्या वाला भारत का छोटा सा राज्य है केरल। चाइनीज़ वायरस के पहले तीनों मामले इसी राज्य में मिले थे। वामपंथी शासित है, महामारी के दौरान भी @vijayanpinarayi शासित ही रहा। गुलाम मानसिकता के पत्रकारों ने टीवी बहस में, अख़बारों में कोविड प्रबंधन की खूब प्रशंसा की

अभी भी बड़ा वर्ग है पत्रकारों का जो पहली फ़ुरसत में वामपंथ शासित, साक्षर केरल की चमत्कारी कहानियाँ सुनाने लगता है। बीच रास्ते गाय का बछड़ा मारकर उस राज्य में खाया गया, लेकिन वर्तमान संदर्भों में भी चाइनीज़ वायरस का क़हर देश पर लगातार टूटा तो उसमें केरल की भूमिका सबसे ख़राब रही

अब दूसरी लहर के कम होने की बात की जा रही है तो भी केरल एक ऐसा राज्य है जो चुनौती बना है। अभी केरल में प्रतिदिन 12000 से ज़्यादा संक्रमित हो रहे हैं। दुर्भाग्य से ठीक होने वालों की संख्या संक्रमितों से कम है। खाड़ी के पैसे पर पलने वाले राज्य की सच्चाई कम ही जानते हैं #FactsMatter

@OttawaCitizen

A few hours ago, the @OttawaCitizen posted an article entitled, "Face to Face with COVID deniers in the ICU."

Here is the reply I posted:

- It is OK to believe that some people will get really sick...and some with die from COVID-19.

1/...

- It is OK to realize that the vast majority of those patients are elderly, have at least 3 comorbidities (affecting heart, lungs, immune system), AND live in a cohorted care setting - such as LTC.

2/...

- It is OK to realize that smoking is a HUGE risk factor for respiratory infections - and one that is often forgotten or discounted by patients, the health care system and media.
(Still looking at vaping and CV-19...)

Hey #Ontario

8 things to think about as we head into a new week:

1) Reminder: "Hospitalization", "ICU" & "Deaths" are all subsets of the total number of "Cases" - & are subject to the same case definition.

- The case definition only requires...

1/...

...a recent "positive" test result (NO symptoms required).

- This means that neither "Cases", "Hospitalizations", "ICU" nor "Deaths" require the person to actually have COVID-19 symptoms to be counted.
#FactsNotFear

2/...

2) #BREAKING: Viruses do NOT care about your feelings or how important your task is (or you feel that it is).

- If a virus so contagious and/or dangerous that the only way to protect yourself is to take precautions - then the level of risk does NOT...

@MonicaGandhi9

Someone asked me yesterday why schools aren't mainly open in San Francisco (despite 30 cases in city of 896K yesterday (& they test), <10 hospitalizations) or California (hundreds of thousand of tests done, 1400 cases in state of 40 million, lowest case rate in nation).

But do think clear why. We took a very partisan approach which - in this case- meant we used a fear-based, exaggerated approach to pandemic management without principles of #harmreduction (harm reduction reduces risk to a pathogen by sensible messages)
nytimes.com/2021/03/18/bri…

And, understandably, if we scared people more and took a fear-based approach, we could hopefully reduce infections by getting people to stay away from each other (a common tactic: people used to use scare tactics with HIV as well) instead of #harmreduction

@APDillon_

1/ @APDillon_ @Chad_Adams @jonpsanders @JohnLockeNC @PeteKaliner @DrKellyVictory I’m old enough to remember when we were told to stay home, wear masks in/outside, don’t go near anyone, b/c if we did any of that we “could kill grandma.”

2/ All of this is supposed to protect the vulnerable, right?

Yet there are current outbreaks at 135 SNF’s & 73 residential care facilities in NC as of 4/20/21.

Sure, NC is doing a bang up job of protecting the vulnerable 🙄

3/ NC needs to ensure policies/procedures are in place at these facilities to monetarily reward ZERO Covid cases (think reimbursement) to truly protect this vulnerable population. These facilities also need to reduce patient:CNA/nurse ratio.
