Correcting Anti-Vax Misinformation

The ghouls use statistical manipulations to advance their propaganda.

Let's make it really simple with some UK data

There is NO association with 2021/2022 and a "bump" in Sudden Heart Deaths "Died Suddenly"

/1

No 2021/22 bump in Heart Disease Complications

/2

Myocarditis? Newp.

Heart Attacks? Nope.

Strokes? Nope.

Nor nervous system diseases

No 2021/22 bump in endocrine disorders

Nor cancers as a whole

Nor metastatic cancers

Nor "metastatic cancers in secondary or lymph sites" (where the ghoulish Makis claims "turbocancer")

Quite simply, the anti-vax ghouls lie. They use incorrect statistics (that they never cared about before), and distort data to tell the tale.

This dataset represents BY OCCURRENCE every death in the UK from 2010-2022, and EXCLUDES any significant data lag issues.
