#COVID19AB Child Vaccination Deception 🧡

IMO, AB Health is falsely inflating age 5-11 stats, using 2 separate gambits:

1. Mixing kids who got regular, adult dose for turning 12 in 2021 into current age 5-11 getting paediatric doses now.
2. Poaching doses from age "Unknown". Image
@SOSAlberta @TehseenLadha @jvipondmd @GosiaGasperoPhD @RajBhardwajMD @PopAlberta @Adam_Toy @caitlynsmitman @demandsbetter @kasza_leslie I noticed this 2 weeks ago, and contacted a few reporters, but the false statistics remain.

In fact, Dr Hinshaw's office is citing those false stats today in preparation for her 3.30pm briefing.

@SeanDunn10 is already fact-checking another part of it.

So here is my thread from 2 weeks ago:

threadreaderapp.com/thread/1476375…

followed by a different way of presenting my analysis in the rest of today's thread.
In the 29 December part of that thread, I pointed out that AB Health had quietly added this cryptic Footnote 2 to Table 1 on the Vaccinations page

alberta.ca/stats/covid-19…

So let's look at these 2 footnotes and process them. ImageImage
"Note 1: individuals who received a first dose in one age category may cross into another age category for a second or third dose."

That makes sense.

eg. Someone who got 1st Dose at age 44, and 2nd Dose at age 45, moves UP into older age group.

Same regular, adult dose too. Image
"Note 2: The age group 5-11 year olds includes those who received the Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty pediatric COVID-19 vaccine and those who were eligible to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine because they were 11 but would turn 12 in 2021."

Say WHAT now? Image
Note 2 says:
β€’ Kids who are all 12 now
β€’ who got REGULAR, ADULT doses throughout 2021 because they would turn 12 in 2021
β€’ are being pulled back DOWN into age 5-11
β€’ to mix their numbers with kids getting PAEDIATRIC doses since 25 Nov 2021.

ie. Opposite to Note 1.

WHY? ImageImage
Referring to my thread 2 wks ago, if this:
β€’ pulling kids age 12 who got regular adult doses
β€’ into the stats for age 5-11 getting paediatric doses
β€’ OPPOSITE to natural shift in all ages
β€’ is the right thing to do...

Why did AB Health wait until the 20 Dec stats to do it?
AB Health needs to disclose exactly how many kids:
β€’ are still age 5-11
β€’ got paediatric doses
β€’ in their regular daily updates
β€’ and how many kids who turned 12 in 2011 - who got regular, adult doses - that they juiced into age 5-11
β€’ and move those kids back to age 12-14
Poaching doses from age "Unknown".

I did say at the beginning of today's thread that there were two (2) gambits.
β€’ age 12, already shown.

I had to do a lot of thinking last week, and too much time with spreadsheets, to show the second gambit. Image
Between 19 and 20 Dec 2021's stats, AB Health:
β€’ quietly moved 18,621 doses from age "Unknown" to age 5-11
β€’ while total 1st Doses had only gone up 4,578 doses

This looks more like intentional deception than mere incompetence. At the least, negligence. Image
Let's zoom out a bit in my spreadsheet, built exclusively from AB Health's own stats.
β€’ age 5-11 stats started Fri 25 Nov, with stats from opening weekend ending Sun 28 Nov on the Monday after
β€’ 6,139 doses per day on opening weekend
β€’ then 4,248 doses/day until 19 Dec.

OK. Image
From Mon 20 Dec 2021, to latest stats provided Friday, up to Thu 6 Jan 2022:

Daily pace of vaccination continued to fall since opening weekend 6,139 doses/day to only 1,129.

Not enough to pretend this age group was vaccinated enough to return to school in January. Image
As I showed in my previous thread, in total, between 19 and 20 Dec, AB Health:
β€’ moved 31,531 doses (Dose 1, 2 & 3) from "Unknown"
β€’ while age 5-11 went up by 34,935
β€’ in one day
β€’ even though Total Doses across ALL age groups for ALL Doses (mostly 3rd) went up by 35,825. Image
This juicing of age 5-11 stats from age "Unknown" even pumped up the 2nd Doses:
β€’" Unknown" down 12,899
β€’ age 5-11 up 12,985
β€’ but Total 2nd Doses across all ages only up 2,099

Age 5-11 only got 107,626 1st doses since 25 Nov.

Yet on 20 Dec they got 12,985 2nd doses?!

πŸ΄πŸ’© Image
But wait - it gets even more ridiculous:

3rd Doses. Boosters!
β€’ To age 5-11
β€’ On 20 December 2021
β€’ Even though only age 18+ is eligible, after 5+ months
β€’ Or age 12 under specific immunocompromised conditions

alberta.ca/covid19-vaccin… ImageImageImage
I have to parse my words carefully.

In my opinion, based on bona fide belief from information that AB Health & Education have provided, it appears:
β€’ AB Health is deceiving Albertans about low child vaccination levels
β€’ to get parents to send those kids to school anyway.
Nationally, age 5-11 has 1st dose coverage of 45.63%.

Even with falsely inflated stats, Alberta is showing 38%.

Nationally, age 5-11 has 2nd dose coverage of 2.03%.

Because of falsely inflated stats, Alberta is showing 4.1%

πŸ΄πŸ’© is so obvious.

health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vacci… ImageImage
Obligation is on AB Health to disclose.

However, I could guess that from 162,518 kids age 12-14 with 85% 1st regular dose coverage, ~18K were pulled down into age 5-11.

20K "Unknown" were juiced in.

So 18K + 20K out of 391,430 kids age 5-11 is ~10%.

Lowering that 38% to 28%.

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.

Social media children, lots of questions, few answers. What did your study find? Jason Nagata:  We followed 12,000 preteens over three years and we actually found big rises in social media use. So during that period, social media on average increased from seven minutes a day to over 70 minutes a day. So a tenfold increase.  And in our analysis, we actually found that rises in social media from year to year among these 9 then 10 then 11-year olds were actually associated with future depressive symptoms in the following year. So I thin...
Ali Rogin:  So what you're saying is that you found the correlation here to be with social media use leading to more depressive symptoms, not the other way around. You're saying that depression doesn't necessarily indicate use of social media? Jason Nagata:  Yes. In our study, were able to follow these same 12,000 kids year to year. So were able to look at both their depression and their social media use every single year. And so we could look at patterns in their use. And we found that those kids who had big spikes in their social media use from year to year then subsequently had bigger sp...
Ali Rogin:  And talk to us about the size and the scope of this study. This sounds massive. How did you track this many children and has that been done before? Jason Nagata:  So, yeah, the data comes from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study. It is a national study that follows these 12,000 kids from over 21 different states, study sites across the U.S. and it's funded by the National Institutes of Health and is I think one of the largest studies on child development and social media and brain health ever.
Ali Rogin:  That's such a fascinating ancillary piece of information that you found in looking at this data. I do want to ask though, what is your advice for parents with the understanding that this data brings us to. Jason Nagata:  Yeah, we actually looked at parent actions for rules and monitoring in the study and we actually found that the biggest predictors of kids screen use was actually their parents screen use. And as a new parent I think it's really important to practice what you preach. So if you're going to tell your kids to put down their phones to important that you role model g...

🧡 Alberta's Reigning Queen of deceptive cherry-picked public health stats, Health Min LaGrange, was back at it Monday, this time over measles immunization.

Bonus Topic: Where is the source for the widespread claim that airborne measles is only infectious up to two (2) hours? Screenshot from Goa 5 May 2025 press release, where Health Min LaGrange made the same claim in the YouTube press conference:  [below is the quote verbatim, but I would put sarcastic quotes around "facts"] "Quick facts β€’ Currently, appointments in the central zone are available within one day, while in the south zone appointments are available usually within one to two days. β€’ Following increased efforts to educate Albertans on measles and the importance of immunization, there has been a significant rise in immunizations across the province. Since March 16, there has been a 67...
Excerpt from GoA lengthy web page on measles  "How measles spreads  Measles is an extremely contagious disease, spread easily through the air.  You do not need to be in direct contact with someone who is infected. You can get measles just by passing through a room or location where a person who is infected was up to 2 hours before. The person who is infected does not still need to be there to put you at risk of disease.  Measles can also be spread through coughing, sneezing, yelling, singing and breathing."

I was just treated TERRIBLY by @HyattCalgary. Manager just denied me service in restaurant for some vague reasons behind:

β€œNone of the staff are comfortable with you and want to serve you.”

Huh? You just lost polite, loyal 20% tip customer. Maybe my friends too.

See you never.
The VP who oversees the restaurant was not on, but I left my business card.

My @Hyatt loyalty card, which shows zero as it has not updated for my purchases since February, when my car died, and I found walking there convenient. High prices, but matching food & service (!) Image
@Hyatt Now, I don’t care about my points, as I will never visit @HyattCalgary again, for any reason.

I won’t spend much time with the VP if he or she calls me. This is their problem to solve, not mine. I’ll get nothing from it either way - I’m gone.

Dear @CalgaryPolice and other smart people. I'm looking for 2 things:
β€’ video of press conference and written response by Chief @neufeld_mark to Dreeshen's stupid announcement early Dec 2024
β€’ GoA policy & evidence to get sites approved for photo radar

calgary.ca/cps/traffic/ph… x.com/DevinDVote/sta…
@CalgaryPolice @neufeld_mark I didn't know until now of this formal 12-month pilot while looking for more information related to my witnessing a cop nearly killed on Centre Street @ Samis Road on Sat night by a speeder who pulled over, then zoomed away.

@reportrix @MBellefontaine

cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
@CalgaryPolice @neufeld_mark @reportrix @MBellefontaine I always knew Dreeshen's announcement, served in a "No Cash Cow" BBQ apron with Beef on a Bun for reporters, was colossally stupid.

I learned it kicked in on 1 April.

Will talk on record about my direct personal experience from this Saturday night.
