Tracking mortality during a pandemic should be considered of the utmost importance and perhaps that’s why there are systems in place for this exact measure. The problem is, when none of the information on those 4 books lines up and shows that officially provided data was altered and over-reported.
It’s straight up fraud.
Early on in the COVID days, Alberta used to provide the daily counts on deaths in summary and in raw data. I chewed through this data on a daily/weekly basis depending on what was going on…vaccines, boosters, masking, other Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs). In this, it was relatively easy to see that there was some fuckery going on with the data…so, for the first time, I figured I’d just assemble this all.
Starting off with, what the Old Dashboard Data used to provide, it showed a total of 5,492 Deaths broke down by the full years reported 2020-2022:
These numbers from the Province were fed to Health Canada, on a weekly basis…however, I have previously noted that there was some back padding of the stats and from here, there is a difference of about 70 deaths that Alberta had on the books that it never provided to Health Canada - total deaths for these same 3 years being 5422.
Quite the dramatic difference in 2020 where the Provincial Dashboard showed 265 More COVID associated mortality in 2020 than what was provided to Health Canada and how they made up these deaths in their reporting to HC for 2021, with an increase of 221 deaths…nice to see that they’d finally worked this out by 2022 with deaths being exactly the same at 2101, still making 2022 the worst year for COVID associated mortality.
The next set of books was the Leading Causes of Death, provided by the Province of Alberta and this reporting was done to rank the highest and lowest causes of mortality. Flesh out COVID and the total number of deaths on this chart becomes 4,581:
From what the province was reporting and reporting on through CMOH at the time - Deena Hinshaw, to what they showed in official statistics for highest causes of death, there was a difference of 910 Deaths.
As in…
There were 910 people who died, that the province apparently and mistakenly reported as COVID deaths.
In the way that the pandemic played out, the above chart makes the most amount of sense when you consider that most of the population of the province was locked down during 2020, but opened back up to a more transmissible variant in 2021 - which caused more deaths but if the vaccines and Paxlovid were showing benefits, a decline in mortality for 2022 makes sense. This could also be chalked up to the fact that 2022 was the Year of Omicron and the least virulent variant of COVID, meaning that this would be the natural progression of COVID, with or without NPIs, Vaccines and Paxlovid.
As in…
Everything that was done and there was a lot…showed absolutely No Value and could never be rationalized.
IF I was working for AHS, I could actually use the information from the Leading Causes of Death report and make a case for not being fired and arrested. But because of the colossal failures, lies and division created throughout these 3 years…instead of actually coming clean on this, AHS created a 4th set of books to rewrite history and erase their abysmal failures. The most current numbers, instead of looking at a Calendar Year, have cutoffs for the End of August to seemingly only show the mortality broken down through Flu Season:
But all this was really meant to do was obfuscate the data and make is so that the current reporting would never have to jive with previous reporting. Check it:
Which shows the first 3 years of COVID Mortality to look like the following:
Bar-None, the WORST Looking of the 4 sets of reporting that had been done, showing the Highest Mortality still being last season and making up almost 50% of the Deaths.
What the fuck are they thinking?
This looks TERRIBLE.
What it seemingly shows is that AHS has tapped out on saving people and they’re just going to let the pandemic kill people.
But yet, they’d seemingly rather look incompetent, than criminally dishonest.
Not the message that I believe a Provincial Healthcare Provider should be sending out, and especially, not into another Season of COVID.
Charges should be laid but, no one went to jail re Thalidomide, evilly this will be the same.
I'll never trust a doctor again.
well done Sheldon!
