The "bad cat" is back discussing the clever work of Dr. Norman Fenton. This work cuts through the noise and focuses on a clear unambiguous point. Does vaccine uptake change all cause mortality, an indice impervious to revisionism? 1/

This is serious work done by a clever data analyst and the answer BTW is No. At this point in time, there is no observable benefit to vaccine uptake. Digging into the analysis, there are some interesting caveats that do require careful consideration. 2/

Long story short, it basically comes down to this. Vaccination results in an initial rise in death that offsets the long term benefits. Those long term benefits are in turn time limited as vaccine efficacy fades after 5-6 months. 3/

The data sets come from the UK Office of National Statistics. This is a top notch outfit which records and annotates every death in a publicly available registry within 7-10 days. Findings align with Israeli observations and from Pfizer clinical trial data. 4/

This work avoids the standard pitfalls too often observed in Canada. Of note is the jigging of data sets to fit a predetermined narrative. This "jigging" involves implementing criteria to allow problematic data to be moved among between comparator groups (vaxxed to unvaxxed). 5/

It's a bitter pill to swallow but after 19 months of the worst public health response in history, the vaccine endpoint looks underwhelming. Perhaps, this isn't surprising given the known absolute risk reduction (1%) and complicated health status of those susceptible to C19. 6/

This data highlights yet again the need for serious reform of our public health community. The C19 response was a destructive escapade where fantasy thinking was championed at the expense of hard core reality. Long past due to clean house. End.
