Let's zoom further into this graph, and isolate ages 5-11:
β’ Why was it at 4.7% before the vaccine campaign for this age group even started?
β’ Since when did age 5-11 start getting vaccinated in May?
β’ 4.7% of 391,430 kids this age is about 18,400 kids.
Something's wrong.π§
4.7%, or 18,400, is way too many kids age 5-11 to be so at risk from COVID-19 that they get an adult dose before Health Canada has even approved a paediatric dose.
So Alberta Health is falsely claiming 4.7% of kids age 5-11 are vaccinated, even though:
β’ those kids got vaccinated because they turn 12 in 2021
β’ they got an adult dose, not a child dose
β’ before the paediatric vax rollout started 26 Nov
β’ they're all 12 in 2 days anyway
I warned about this in a thread on 7 Dec:
β’ the pace of child vax was low
β’ there were no targets or plan
β’ there was a LOT of obfuscation
Maybe I should change my words above from "Sneaky" to "Slimy" or "Unethical".
This ties in with what Dr Ogbogu explained yesterday: the Alberta Government is depriving mature minors with capacity to decide for themselves of their right to health care by allowing antivax parents to stop them from getting vaccinated.
19 Dec:
β’ 107,626 doses in age 5-11, all 1st dose, for 27.5%
β’ 101,763 doses age "Unknown" across doses 1-3
20 Dec:
β’ 142,561 doses age 5-11, of which 129,565 1st dose, for 33.1%, and 12,985 2nd doses
β’ 70,232 doses age "Unknown"
All other age groups got modest increases typical of one day's worth of vaccination.
So I have to ask:
β’ Why would age 5-11 doses go up nearly 34,935 doses in one day?
β’ of which 12,985 2nd Dose?!
β’ when Unknown age goes down 31,531?
β’ and age 12-19 goes up 254 as expected?
Sure looks to me like AB Health pulled 31,531 doses on 20 Dec 2021 from age "Unknown", to fudge them into age 5-11, to pump up those vax numbers:
β’ which explains +12,985 2nd Dose +11 3rd Dose
β’ the remaining increase of 3,404 in age 5-11 is consistent with a day of 1st Doses
β’ β’ β’

I have watched, and learned from, fellow professional engineers responsibly warning govs + public for over 35 years.
@cityofcalgary Infrastructure GM Michael Thompson, over 10 years.
Can't recall warnings so grave as #BearspawSouthFeederMain yesterday.
@cityofcalgary @paulisci @DuaneBratt @TheBreakdownAB @RobBreakenridge @LiveWireCalgary @CTVMarkVillani @CBCScott @davidbarrettyyc @JeromyYYC @iceTyyc GM Thompson stressed we're big city on two small rivers, which themselves are dependent on snowmelt from the Rockies.
For too long, we have tolerated lack of redundancy in essential water services.
I see hard limits to Calgary's growth: short + long term.

With hindsight, Bearspaw South Feeder Main = aorta, the largest artery in the body.
It can no longer reliably carry flow & pressure from heart = Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant.

On #GivingTuesday, my surprisingly bushy #Movember broom and I would like you to support @YYC_counselling. Here's why.
Today, 2 Dec 2025, is the LAST day for donations from you to be matched by an anonymous donor, thereby 2X your money.
1/
In August 2011, @BalBrach @CBCCalgary was assigned to the story, because IIRC 18% of victims that @CalgaryPolice encountered were men, but there was no gov program to support them/us.
@YYC_counselling offered a donation-funded program, and they recommended me to interview.
2/
@BalBrach @CBCCalgary @CalgaryPolice @YYC_counselling I'd recently completed a 14-week group therapy program for Male Victims of Domestic Violence.
CCC continually improves, so you can see its successor here "Turn for the Better" in its list of Group Counselling Programs, but only "On Demand" due to $$.
The drummer in this video is my favourite person this weekend. Everything about her is energetic performance:
β’ drumming of course
β’Β hair
β’ silver jumpsuit
β’ attitude.
I want to power into EVERY Monday morning with that energy.
@FionaMattatall
@FionaMattatall Here is the same band performing:
Simple Minds - Someone Somewhere In Summertime (Live from Paisley Abbey)
They're all having a great time, but she is a combination of Determined and Delighted.
I just found my wake-up with or without caffeine videos.
@FionaMattatall Found her! Thanks to @YouTube always working to make lists + mixes for me, her name is Cherisse Osei @Cherissedrums and she is deservedly a @ZildjianCompany artist.
This is a technical showcase. Watch her light up in front of a big live audience.
Yesterday @Rogers @RogersHelps [sic] "Terry in Charlottetown, PEI" cancelled my home office internet service AGAINST MY EXPRESS INSTRUCTIONS in order to upsell me to new plan.
Can @TELUSsupport move up my install date from 16 July to add @TELUS TV & Internet to my mobile plan?
Rogers INSISTS that they have not outsourced their support to India, or anyone. Given that my phone call of two (2) hours on Saturday was with 2 Indians with insufficient authority or account access, including "Jaz the tech support supervisor in Calgary" [what a coincidence!]...
I say that is BS. I was a loyal Shaw customer for years because they were based in Calgary. The transition to Rogers was a mess: passwords + challenge questions/answers got lost in the shift.
Rogers does not empower their "support" to support. Only to stall, obstruct or upsell.
If you come to Palomino early enough on a weekday, the soup of the day may still be available.
Having lunch here now at 1.30pm and first time for me, and it is heaven.
Clam chowder with a delicacy in the spices and herbs you wouldnβt expect from a βBBQ Jointβ.
Thank you Chef.
My mistake. CORN chowder, not clam chowder as I said above.
First bite blew me away, so I tweeted right away. They have a similar classic base, IIRC.
I canβt eat pork, so I got it without bacon garnish (therefore also vegetarian).
For those who do π, party on people.
For βmain courseβ you need video, not photo.
This is Elote Taco Salad, with the smoked turkey I added, to the music of Talking Heads βBurning Down the Houseβ which Palomino provides with your meal.
After the soup, at least half of this will go home for dinner/midnight snack.
This is "Olde Ghosts" warming up - in this program.
I am a nerdy 58-yr-old engineer who surprises people with 2 unexpected traits: a love for good metal, and endless jokes.
On the latter, I am like Leslie Nielsen who could easily get even people braced for his hidden fart accordion to crack up. But I'm not using one....yet.πΊ
With metal, I was raised with Indian music my parents played, like the Pakeezah soundtrack, until the cassette literally broke.
This is one of the songs from that movie. It builds until Meena Kumari (Indian's Marilyn) dances with those 2 π backups.
