They has an entire week to prepare for this!

So one hour late. At least…

Just saying what the data shows (to better assess efficacy, based on data rather than what pharmaceutical companies advertise in the media):

Data as OpenDocument Format (ODS)

References: Latest Dataset from Deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status, England: deaths occurring between 1 January 2021 and 31 May 2022

Disclaimer: This isn’t a rejection of vaccines, just an effort to understand the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine used in the UK (typically from AstraZeneca, which basically privatised publicly-funded work).

Clarification: The numbers above show that most deaths impact old age groups; among those, vaccination rate was high, so the big gap in numbers isn’t telling the full story.

“Some 1.1 million people in private households tested positive for coronavirus in the latest survey, which covers the seven days to 17 September in England and the week to 20 September in the other three nations, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).” — UK ‘blind’ to new immune-evasive Covid variants creating ‘perfect storm’ for devastating wave

Some anecdotal remarks today:

And hospitalisations grow like never before.

The current policy isn’t working. People are ill and they get poor (there’s also Long “COVID-19″, which few wish to speak about). As someone noted: “as of Monday, Labour were polling 17 points ahead of the Conservative (per YouGov). That was bad enough, but by Thursday 29th, a new poll gave Labour a stunning 33 point lead in the polls as Conservative voter support imploded. It seems that tanking the currency, the pension system, the housing market, and the national debt in just one week is slightly unpopular. Who could possibly have seen that coming?”

We need a way to ‘circuit-break’ the virus or vaccines that more effectively curb its spread.

Just to be clear, the vast majority of those first shots are administered to kids.

53,813,491 out of over 68,000,000 Brits got vaccinated for COVID-19. This means over 14 million got nothing of that sort.

COVID-19 was permitted to become very, very prevalent
