Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in February, 2022 (yeah, I know…a little more dramatic than needed), I came across a study that said that a new version of COVID, Omicron BA.2 was more transmissible in a boosted population. The study noted that it was more transmissible in all populations, 2x that of BA1 in unvaccinated but the HIGHEST population that would see more cases would be the boosted population by 3x.
The Study Said:
We found BA.2 to be associated with an increased susceptibility of infection for unvaccinated individuals (Odds Ratio (OR) 2.19; 95%-CI 1.58-3.04), fully vaccinated individuals (OR 2.45; 95%-CI 1.77-3.40) and booster-vaccinated individuals (OR 2.99; 95%-CI 2.11-4.24), compared to BA.1.
Back then, 2 months ago, Omicron was only a pimple on the COVID radar for Canada:
And, this being the ONLY study available on the subject and seeing the already large failure of vaccines, you might think it would have been a really good idea to NOT get boosted.
But, if you were the Chief Medical Officer of Health for a Province, where you completely ignored every other piece of Data, suggesting this may have been in tune…which is Exactly what Dr. Deena Hinshaw - CMOH Alberta has done.
And what has been the product of this?
Well…it’s like this.
Boosted population increased by .2% moving from 36.9% last week to 37.1% this week:
And during this same week the boosted population, having been the HIGHEST in hospitalization in the previous week, grew by the largest amount and by the greatest percentage moving from 44.25% to 47.6% making up an additional 70 Cases while the unvaccinated population shrank by 2.
Where Boosted COVID deaths also seen the largest increase moving up an additional 2% or an increase over the last 120 period by 28 deaths.
And where is Omicron BA2 for the province?
It makes up the Majority of the cases where we were still in decline mode from BA1 in February:
So…the only study we had available that said that Omicron BA2 was more transmissible with more doses of vaccines has proven this study to be accurate and throughout the last 2 months, all Hinshaw has been doing is recommending More Doses and talking about how they're critically important in lowering the risk of severe outcomes:
“It’s Clear”, she says.
What?
She just looked at the same data before reporting this and you can see that the only thing that seems abundantly clear is that she’s lacking in the ability to analyze data.
But here’s what really pisses me off.
Data Padding.
While I’ve taken a week off of analysis, I’ve still kept my spreadsheets open - data that you can obtain from the provincial website - drilled down to Deaths, of course…and here’s what last week to this week looks like:
Last week, the update up to April 11th, 2022 (including deaths up to April 10th, 2022) reported that for the month of April there were a total of 13 deaths. Today, the data download shows that during this time there were 36.
How does Deena explain this discrepancy?
That between April 12-18 there were 7 deaths/day related to COVID-19 - which means she actually backpadded the data to make up deaths where as if you download the data and sort, what you are left with for COVID deaths between April 12-18 is 15:
Last week, Deena said there were an average of 5 deaths per day from the week previous giving a total of 35 deaths, this week she’s said that there were an average of 7 deaths per day which is 49 for a total over the last 2 weeks of 84. From the Data that you can download on the provincial website→Link, for the entire month of April, there are 51 - Difference of 33 or a 64% increase by the Hinshaw Update.
Wastewater indicates - despite the Hinshaw update of an additional 2 deaths per day over the last week from the week prior that COVID may have peaked. Chart looks like:
And if you were wondering if we’d ever seen this before…where there is a capitulation bounce on respiratory viruses during this time…the answer is Yes, we have. In fact, if you look back to the Pre-COVID days of Influenza in the province, by Alberta Standards, you’d find this:
All of the Provincial Reporting, even without all of the data that’s been excluded shows that the vaccines haven’t really been that critical in reducing severity and as much as they try to hide this, it’s still very clear.
In the last week, there were 49 COVID deaths (4190-4141 - most of which were backdated by 1 week). In this time, 44/49 or 90% are still occurring in the only group by age demographic that ever needed protection and are still not getting it. Worse yet, when the only data that was available showed an increase in risk by a 3rd dose, the recommendations were to get your booster dose.
Welp…
How many more people need to die before they finally pull the plug on the failed vaccine measures and work towards protecting the only populations that ever needed protection?
After how many doses?
It's not incompetence or inability to analyze data, it's wilfully criminal. There simply is no other explanation. They know. They are evil, not stupid.
Great article Sheldon, as per usual. Thanks for your work.
