Column: Why anti-vaxxers are pretending a flawed study on vaccine deaths has been vindicated
Yahoo ^ | 10/24/23 | Michael Hiltzik

Posted on 10/25/2023 7:45:49 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Over the weekend, as I pondered a volume of forgotten lore ā€” it was Emily Wilson's gripping translation of Homer's "Odyssey," actually ā€” my email inbox started filling up with the curious news that a long-discredited and retracted paper claiming that the COVID vaccines had killed nearly 300,000 Americans had been "reinstated."

It did not take long to determine that the truth was, no, not really. But the sudden appearance of this claim and its rapid spread across the anti-vaccine ecosystem speak volumes about how "bad papers written by antivax ideologues designed to promote a narrative that vaccines are dangerous and/or ineffective ... never die," to quote the veteran pseudoscience debunker David Gorski.

Medical debate gobbledygook, all I know is before the vax people didn't die suddenly, especially young people.

I’d love to have an honest chat with the actuaries at a big life insurer. You know they know the score.

"and the vax injures and KILLS PEOPLE!"

Don't forget that the "vaccines" do not prevent infection and transmission, and there is literally no way to prove that they reduce the severity of "COVID" or its hospitalization rate.

Prior to the Covid vaccine, sudden adult (or arrhythmic) death syndrome was a major killer, with about 200,000 US adults dying from it every year.

In the 1970s, I read an article about it in a women’s magazine. It said that the first symptom is often death. I remember thinking that that is one doozy of a first symptom.

An organization was even founded decades ago to raise awareness and fund research into SADS:

https://sads.org/about-us/ “The SADS Foundation was founded by Dr. Michael Vincent on December 12, 1991.”

The Cleveland Clinic has an informational webpage about it: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23214-sudden-arrhythmic-death-syndrome

SADS is caused by genetic conditions, not environmental factors (such as medications).

Why do you think that, by law, defibrillators must be located in public places and businesses that have over a certain number of employees? It’s because of SADS.

The only thing that has happened since the Covid vaccine roll-outs is that professional antivaxxers who are aware that most people have never heard the term “SADS” suddenly started talking about it and implying that it is caused by vaccination. You might even know someone who died of it, but never heard the acronym “SADS.” I knew a 29 year old woman, a newlywed, whose new husband found her dead in the kitchen. Only 29 years old. This happened in 2017.

Thanks to research, deaths from SADS have decreased since the 1990s. However, it will still be a while before they are eliminated.

“the anti-vaccine ecosystem speak volumes”

“anti-vaccine” speaks volumes. Most critics of the mRNA shot have taken vaccines all their lives. When you start off with a slander, there is no need to read on.

I have worked in the hotel industry all my life, probably have come in contact with 10’s of thousands of people, and only known of two deaths while working at the hotels, both suicides.

Iā€™d love to have an honest chat with the actuaries at a big life insurer. You know they know the score.

Insurance actuaries do not have population level death data. They only compare the death rates among the insured with the mortality data compiled by the CDC. The CDC is the only organization that collects and analyses nationwide cause of death data. This data is publicly available.

Provisional Mortality Data ā€” United States, 2022

CDC WONDER. This is a searchable database. You actually have to input targeted queries about the numbers of deaths from a specific cause.

Mortality Statistics. This is a summary to the latest finalized death data, representing deaths in 2021. It shows that the top ten causes of death were:

1-Heart disease.
2-Cancer.
3-Covid-19.
4-Accidental injuries.
5-Stroke.
6-Chronic lower respiratory diseases.
Followed by Alzheimer's, diabetes, chronic liver disease, and kidney disease.

Whatever death data you are curious about, you can find it at one of these links.

Both of which are obvious acts of treason, and why the perpetrators behind them are so hysterically determined that an ever-growing number of people stop using their common sense about both of them.

Please. Believing any government agency at this point is a fool's errand.
