#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%.

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.
