#COVID19AB Child Vaccination
Bogus Statistics 🧡

IMO, AB Health is falsely inflating the number and % of children age 5-11 getting vaccinated.

Here's how:

alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…

/c @SOSAlberta @wingkarli
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.🧐
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 where did this come from? Aha!

Note 2. Sneaky, sneaky, AB Health.

alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…
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".

As of my thread on 7 Dec, AB Health was being honest about age 5-11 vaccination being zero until 26 November.↙️

Since then, they decided to juice the numbers by 4.7%. β†˜οΈ
Why do this? Why pretend the age 5-11 child vax level is at 35.5%, when it is really at 30.8%?

Maybe because it looks like child vaccination is plateauing between 30 and 35%?

Which is less than half the level of the next older age 12-19, or the Alberta average?
Maybe it is because the drive-by shooting from Premier, Health Min & CMOH when announcing the approval of this child vaccine was too effective?

And now that Omicron is here, infecting & hospitalizing children under 12, under 5, it is DECEPTION TIME?

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.

/c @Lorian_H

I don't know how many children age 5-11 could be considered mature enough to have capacity to decide for themselves, but same obstruction.

See also Dr Hinshaw's claim earlier that school COVID-19 vaccinations were not happening because parents wanted to be there. Really?
Before I dive back into πŸ“ˆ, @Jantafrench connected the dots.

AB parents have to decide whether to send their kids age 5-11 back to school Mon or Tue.

IMO, falsely inflating the vax levels of age 5-11 gives a deceptive view of elementary school safety.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Suspicious change btwn 19 & 20 December:

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€’

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? Page 1 of 3-page chat transcript between me and Rogers
Page 2 of 3-page chat transcript between me and Rogers
Page 3 of 3-page chat transcript between me and Rogers
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 wouldn’t expect from a β€œBBQ Joint”.

Thank you Chef. My photo of my clam chowder with unexpected cornbread loaf on the side.
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 can’t eat pork, so I got it without bacon garnish (therefore also vegetarian).

For those who do πŸ–, party on people. My photo of chalkboard sidewalk sign.
For β€œmain course” you need video, not photo.

This is Elote Taco Salad, with the smoked turkey I added, to the music of Talking Heads β€œBurning Down the House” which Palomino provides with your meal.

After the soup, at least half of this will go home for dinner/midnight snack.

I was going to tweet about my early dinner tonight at Palomino (clichΓ© food pics) but just got hit with wall of SWEET sound when I went downstairs to use the washroom, and opened the steel door to basement concert hall.

WOW.

This is "Olde Ghosts" warming up - in this program. My photo with permission of Olde Ghosts 4-piece band warming up (I'd say they're already on fire) as I went to basement washroom at Palomino (shared with underground concert hall).
In the program they are listed as "Old Ghost" which may just be a miscommunication between Palomino mgmt and Band mgmt. Still gets the message across.
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.πŸ‘Ί
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 😍 backups.

Kinda proud of myself. Also.. life is hilarious.

I’ve been eating a lot of rich, flavourful food recently, and I went from a salmon/capers omelet at OEB to the passcode protected washroom in food court at Fifth Avenue Place. Took a massive, relaxed dump.

Laughing as I type.
So I’m washing my hands - even had the foresight to take a restaurant napkin to dry my hands and use on the door lever to exit (trust me on this) and a distinguished gentlemen t about 60 walks in.

And visibly buckles, and groans.

I’m trying not to laugh out loud.
I step out of washroom and all of this is hitting me as I walk slowly to exit escalator, down to a bench on 5 Ave, where I am typing this now.

I’m almost crying not to burst out laughing.

And the Punjabi woman security guard sweetly asks me β€œAre you OK?”

No, Bhenji. I’m not.
