Their numbers are not reliable anymore, but here’s the data for week 51 (two weeks ago):

Compared to pre-pandemic levels:

Xmas deaths, average for 2014-19: 11.5k
For 2022: 14.5k

But don’t worry, that’s just about 3,000 more dead people than before…. in one week! And nobody will notice, merry Xmas everyone!!

That’s 26.4% increase in deaths, but they tell us to quit worrying about the COVID-19 pandemic, side effects of vaccines (dare to suggest any exist and they’ll call you “antivaxer”), and the NHS crisis in general.

Weeks ago it said:

And this:

Only a few minutes ago it released the numbers again. But they are the same!!!!!!!

Here:

In order to potentially save face for Rishi (unelected PM who pretends to be a GP now in some media photo ops) ONS delayed and delayed data. NO RELIABLE DATA ON DEATHS SINCE DECEMBER 2^ND!!! And they did not bother to correct what they already admitted to be an “undercount”.

A new year’s resolution? Hide the dead? Undercount them?

There is no notice in the site saying that they are still undercounting or that there is missing data. Sarah Caul’s update looks like this now:

Sarah, does it take more than 3 weeks to ‘find’ those ‘missing’ death certificates? What on Earth is going on here? ‘Traffic-shaping’ of numbers? This is not acceptable. Taxpayers are paying to be informed; ONS says it’s not subjected to political pressure, but maybe that’s tacitly changing.

The risk of COVID-19 also varied by the number of COVID-19 vaccine doses previously received. The higher the number of vaccines previously received, the higher the risk of covid infection.

Vaccine doses versus risk of covid during the 3-month study period

One dose, 1.7 times more likely to test positive for covid

Two doses, 2.63 times more likely to test positive for covid

Three doses, 3.1 times more likely to test positive for covid

More than three doses, 3.8 times more likely to test positive for covid

So compared to the unvaccinated

1, x 1.7

2, x 2.36

3, x 3.1

4, x 3.38

P = 0.001 means 999 out of 1,000 likely to be a genuine result

That 99.9% likely to be a genuine result

Things Have Changed (Dylan)

Bivalent antigens

Original vaccine and BA.4/BA.5 lineages of Omicron.

(Approved without demonstration of effectiveness in human clinical studies)

(Approved without demonstration of safety in human clinical studies)

Background

To evaluate whether a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine protects against COVID-19.

Methods

Employees of Cleveland Clinic, n = 51,011

Cumulative incidence of COVID-19 was examined over the following weeks.

Protection provided by recent and prior vaccination was evaluated

First bivalents given, 12 September 2022

Three-month study

Results

Among 51,011 employees,

20,689 (41%) had had a previous documented episode of COVID-19,

42,064 (83%) had received at least two doses of a vaccine.

10,804 (21%) were bivalent vaccine boosted

COVID-19 occurred in 2,452 (5%) during the study.

(Pfizer 89%, Moderna 11%)

Risk of COVID-19 increased with time since the most recent prior COVID-19 episode

Risk of COVID-19 increased with the number of vaccine doses previously received.

Note, this is based on large numbers

Doses, 0 = 6,419 (12.6%)

Doses, 1 = 2,528 (5%)

Doses, 2 = 14,810 (45.9%)

Doses, 3 = 23,396 (45.9%)

Doses 4, 3,757 (7.4%)

Doses 5, 85 (less than1%)

Doses 6, 16 (less than 1%)

The bivalent vaccinated state

Was independently associated with lower risk of COVID-19 (HR, 0.70)

(over the 3 months of the study)

Leading to an estimated vaccine effectiveness (VE) of 30%

Things Have Changed (Dylan)

Data as OpenDocument Format

ack in October I looked at the data from Ireland for the first quarter of each year, focusing on total number of deaths, irrespective of cause and age.

We now have data for the second quarter (Q2) of this year.

Total number of deaths in second quarter (Q2), by year:

Q2 2019: 7519
Q2 2020: 8582
Q2 2021: 6700
Q2 2022: 9326

The official data for England only runs until the 19^th, so let’s compare apples to apples:

2022 hospitalisations per day with COVID-19

19-12-2022 1,296
18-12-2022 1,176
17-12-2022 799
16-12-2022 834
15-12-2022 1,064
14-12-2022 963
13-12-2022 1,026

2021 hospitalisations per day with COVID-19

19-12-2021 926
18-12-2021 735
17-12-2021 743
16-12-2021 777
15-12-2021 805
14-12-2021 815
13-12-2021 794

2020 hospitalisations per day with COVID-19

19-12-2020 1,812
18-12-2020 1,672
17-12-2020 1,873
16-12-2020 1,796
15-12-2020 1,730
14-12-2020 1,746
13-12-2020 1,581

Meanwhile ONS says that due to some unspecified technical error it cannot publish the latest death toll/tally (for December), which seems awfully strange. How hard can it be to just count death certificates? No classification or further certifications of them is required, just a running sum/total.

The official government propaganda will likely say the above are not hospitalised for coronavirus but for something else, but how is that any different from last year (wintertime)?

In spite of very scarce testing, 28.8% more COVID-19 positives were registered in the latest week compared to the prior week.

COVID-19 is still with us and it kills many people. The media must not ignore this.

WHO, Covid vaccine site

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/covid-19-vaccines

Site as of 12st December 2022

Everyone, everywhere, should have access to COVID-19 vaccines.

WHO is determined to maintain the momentum for increasing access to COVID-19 vaccines,

and will continue to support countries in accelerating vaccine delivery,

to save lives and prevent people from becoming seriously ill.

Countries should continue to work towards vaccinating at least 70% of their populations

WHO vaccine equity site

https://www.who.int/campaigns/vaccine-equity

This represents a serious threat to the fragile economic recovery,

including due to the risk of new variants creating large waves of serious disease,

and death in populations with low vaccination coverage.

Director general press release

https://www.who.int/director-general/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing—14-december-2022

Only one in five people in low-income countries has been vaccinated;

Access to diagnostics and life-saving treatments for COVID-19 remains unacceptably unaffordable and unequal;

Also mentioned

Greater Horn of Africa

Cholera outbreaks in 29 countries

Haiti, 1,200 confirmed cases, 14,000 suspected and 280 reported deaths

Haiti received almost 1.2 million doses of oral cholera vaccines

For all COVID-19 vaccines

injection-site reactions (sore arm for example)

generalised symptoms such as ‘flu-like’ illness

headache, chills, fatigue (tiredness), nausea (feeling sick), fever, dizziness, weakness, aching muscles, rapid heartbeat

they may be reported more frequently in younger adults

Overall, our advice remains that the benefits of the vaccines outweigh the risks in the majority of people.

The benefits of the vaccines in preventing COVID-19 and serious complications associated with COVID-19 far outweigh any currently known side effects in the majority of patients.

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis has been reported in individuals who have received Spikevax.

Close observation for at least 15 minutes is recommended following vaccination.

Myocarditis and pericarditis

There is an increased risk for myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination with Spikevax.

Few days, primarily occurred within 14 days,

more often after the second dose,

more often in younger males

risk profile appears to be similar for the second and the third dose

Available data suggest that the course of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination is not different from myocarditis or pericarditis in general.

Healthcare professionals should be alert to the signs and symptoms of myocarditis and pericarditis.

Vaccinated individuals should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention if they develop symptoms indicative of myocarditis or pericarditis,

such as (acute or persisting) chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations following vaccination.

Healthcare professionals should consult guidance and/or specialists to diagnose and treat this condition.

Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-vaccine/

Everyone aged 5 (on or before 31 August 2022) and over can get a 1st and 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

People aged 16 and over, and some children aged 12 to 15, can also get a booster dose.
