TL;DR. I need to paraphrase Hillary Clinton here, “at this point…what does it matter?” It’s amazing to me, the exacting standards to which the anti-MRNA vaxx crowd hold themselves. Quite simply, it does not matter if you have 100% accurate data, analysis, information, facts or evidence, it will not be reported to a wider audience. There are no mainstream outlets who will do so, none. Those who think (know) the vaxx is harmful, don’t need more evidence and those who don’t want to know, won’t look at anything that upsets their worldview.
The one thing that really jumps out on the graphs is that when each line of 'Last Dose' appears, it appears with a high peak and then tapers off. Suggesting an initial peak of acute reactions to the shot that then peters out. In industrial engineering we call this 'infant mortality', a high incidence of failures immediately after some intervention. The elevated totals in 2022 for 60-80 and 80-100 appear to be driven by these peaks in 'the jabbed' but of course without knowing how many are in each bucket at each data point it is hard to say anything in particular.
My apologies folks, but I am done with Covid. It was a a planned and -executed operation and far from the humanity-exterminating bug we were told it could be.
Don’t worry, I know someone who will see the (Steve) Cherry on top and explain how this data proves the Grand Unified Theory. I do wish he wouldn’t do that. We are better served by dispassionate assessments of the facts than we are by seeing animals and faces in the clouds.
Considering the anecdote is that cold is a factor for having the oopsie in the heart, I didn't expect to see a smoking gun in New Zealand of all places.
The best program to get the best heart health is to rigidly follow these seven steps:
1) Believe God only, and actively doubt everyone else.
2) Sing, play a musical instrument or dance, but not too much.
3) Avoid public office.
4) Renounce Hollywood and all its works and all its false promises.
5) Eat only BBQ.
6) Brush your teeth with butter instead of toothpaste.
7) Learn Statistics, but be discreete about it.
This program includes all the good things humanity has learned in the last 4,000 years. No virus or cold temperature or poison can damage a person who follows the seven steps.
Thank you for the review of the interesting NZ data and your caveat on their interpretation.
I had my presumed first Covid infection in Nov., 2019, which I figured out some time later when I recalled a patient's NAAT result. My wife had a pretty classical case in January, 2020, after travelling to my sister's birthday, so the timing is solid. We both had recurrences in Jan., 2022, after our son returned from Europe and had a positive LFT result (I know, but we were appropriately symptomatic),consistent with the first Omicron passage. To add insult, we both were sick this New Year's after flying home from a Christmas visit. Likely BN1, it was interesting that the airport seemed clean before Christmas, the flight was filled with coughs 8 days later.
Most of the studies presented over the past four years are devoid of adequate assessment of the subjects. A very few papers might control for existing coronavirus immunity, even fewer with explicit SARS-CoV-2 analysis. The local LifeLabs used an N antigen test which waned after 3 months. Kinexus in Vancouver has been running properly controlled studies on M- and S- proteins (you need these in our populations to distinguish infected from vaxxed subjects) through the plandemic.
Population statistics do not properly represent the situation, which should identify already exposed and immune subjects from totally naive people. The baseline is not flat, even in NZ, as there is exposure in late 2019, cunningly ignored due to the antipodean summer season and low virulence or transmission of respiratory pathogens.
Here's an analysis I did a while ago, ignoring doses administered, just looking at mortality rates, with caveats around the migration between age cohorts/buckets.
A more detailed *but bot guaranteed t be accurate!) analysis of the elderly age cohorts is half way down. - by each of the 5 year elderly age cohorts - men, then women then total.
Apologies for the need yo wade through a long preamble.
Thanks for taking the time and adding your expertise, Briggs. It's a shame that the "denominators" were not released -- so that analysts could compute death rates by category. A proper FOIA request would have requested denominators, allowing for rate calculation.
This leaves one dumbfounded, disturbed by a perpetual mental image of a big question mark.
Did the FOIA request include a request for the denominators, but the NZ government failed to comply? Did the FOIA request mysteriously not include a request for the denominators -- even though it was a good idea? Did it first include a request for denominators, but was it then altered so that they got removed?
Show me your paperz und I vill show you ze data, Ya.
"Region of Waterloo Public Health has issued suspension orders to 18,643 elementary school students who have not updated their vaccination records... All elementary and secondary students are required to provide proof of vaccination under the Immunization of School Pupils Act."
What is the definition of dose? Is the person included in 0 dose for two weeks after their date of first injection? Included in 1 dose for two weeks following their second injection? And so on?

The simple fact that gov'ts all over the world are only releasing what they are being forced to release tells me one of two things:
1 - They actually don't have the data and don't want to admit it.
2 - They actually do have the data and are too scared to admit it.
Knowing gov't bureaucrats and their love of charts and graphs, I suspect #2 is the answer...

Thanks for taking a look, even if no firm conclusions can be drawn from the data.
The fact we lack clear and unambiguous safety data continues to speak volumes.

Thanks for the calm voice of reason.
Longitudinal cohorts would be the ticket here. We could actually see exactly what’s going on.

From 2019 these reports are GIGO.

Thank you again for the analysis.
This note is on the summary tab. When "Days between last vaccination and death" reads N/A, it's code for unvaccinated individuals.
Honestly, this data isn’t very useful as it's already aggregated. One cannot trust data presented this way.
Good stuff. Insighyful and highlighting issues.

Maybe a reconciliation nis possible with the vaxx data. The problem clearly lies in the elderly - especiall the 80-84 year olds.
As I said, I only have a little lap top - plus weak eyesight - so it's E&OE.
I forst posted about this here in January 2023

Please keep on keeping on - you show superior intellect!

Inquisitive minds want to know.

Funny typo Professor Briggs: you wrote "The red line is 0 doses" but the word you meant to write is line.
Now I made the typo: I meant to quote "The red lie is 0 doses"
Funny.
What is the definition of dose? Is the person included in 0 dose for two weeks after their date of first injection? Included in 1 dose for two weeks following their second injection? And so on?
