Now your garden is evil: Privileged Swedish communists from Uppsala University say elites' use of water must be altered and redistributed to the poor

 What a shock, right?

From the story "From swimming pools to gardening, the rich’s privileged lifestyles are driving urban water crises, study says":

The study, which was led by Elisa Savelli at Uppsala University in Sweden, proposes a new approach to preserving water resources centered around “altering privileged lifestyles, limiting water use for amenities and redistributing income and water resources more equally.”     

Meanwhile lol:

The entire (100%) population of Sweden has access to a safe-drinking water source. 

GUILTY MUCH? The place is still 60% Lutheran.

But a lot of this is just far-north-garden-deprived envy:

 We English are often caricatured as garden fanatics but we have nothing on the northern Swedes. This gardening obsession is not uncommon up here. In the summer our local snowmobile dealership majors in ride-on lawnmowers. Locals fondle Husqvarnas the same way petrolheads caress Ferraris. Coachloads of northern Swedish townies criss-cross the countryside each summer visiting gardens.

CBS eyeball news can't even get the basics right for "excess deaths" story

 The eyeball news story gets it wrong by screwing up the time frame. The reporter is just lazy:

Two years after the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a global pandemic, new research suggests around 18.2 million people have died worldwide as a result. That toll is more than three times higher than the WHO's tally of nearly 6 million officially reported COVID-19 deaths through the end of 2021.

The new figures, published Thursday in The Lancet, are based on the number of "excess deaths" in countries around the world. Researchers determined how many additional deaths occurred from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021 by modeling the number of "expected" deaths in years unaffected by a global pandemic, compared to the total number who actually died from any cause. 

You can't use "the current total".  This is March, hello. You have to use the total on 12/31/21 as the study did, which was closer to 825,000. That means C19 deaths in the US might have been as much as 37% higher than actually reported, not 18%.

The disparity between excess deaths and C19 deaths for the US is much larger than the story lets on.

Similarly with the global total figures. There were about 5.46 million deaths globally due to COVID-19 on 12/31/21, not "nearly 6 million", so the excess deaths are about 3.33 times greater than the C19 deaths, not simply 3.03 times greater.

Perhaps the most significant new piece of information from the story is that "deaths from heart attacks and stroke have climbed beyond pre-pandemic levels", but the story won't suggest that there might be an association between those deaths and mass vaccination, only with the disease itself.

How many older people have died of heart attack and stroke after vaccination without contracting COVID-19? There must be many, many millions globally, by definition, but no one is publishing this information.

The bias in favor of the safety of the vaccines will not hold up forever as new evidence like this emerges.

We were confidently told these vaccines would stop the spread, even at the 50% threshold, which turned out to be a huge lie. Even after Provincetown the authorities bent over backwards to stick with the narrative.

Then we were told the vaccines would stop serious outcomes, yet US deaths in January and February 2022 are the fifth and fourth worst months for deaths of the entire pandemic.

The time for the end of this farce is long past. 

Massachusetts now reports 2,346 total cumulative breakthrough deaths, 2,240 of which have occurred since the end of July 2021, 44.5% of all COVID-19 deaths since that time

Massachusetts total COVID deaths on 7/30/21: 18,082

Massachusetts total COVID deaths on 2/19/22: 23,109

Difference: 5,027 total COVID deaths since last July

 

Breakthrough deaths on 2/19/22: 2,346

Breakthrough deaths by 7/30/21: 106

Difference: 2,240 breakthrough deaths since last July (44.559% of all the COVID deaths over the period)

 

Nice vaccine you got there.

 

The liars with statistics try to dilute the significance of this failure by inflating the denominator by using either total deaths or total vaccinations from time immemorial. What counts is the durability of the vaccines over time, and it is crystal clear that breakthrough deaths are not a small percentage of the COVID deaths which have occurred since Delta took over last summer.

 

The vaccines are not durable by any traditional definition of a vaccine, which is why CDC removed the traditional definition at the end of July when Provincetown proved the mRNA vaccines don't stop the spread and don't prevent disease.

CDC is guilty of scandalous lies.

 

 

Breakthrough deaths in Massachusetts have soared to 44% of all COVID deaths since last July through the end of January 2022

Let's check in on breakthrough deaths in Massachusetts, where breakthrough deaths have soared by 290 just in the last week.

Massachusetts reported 106 breakthrough deaths by the end of July 2021, according to NBC Boston, here.

At the time there had been 18,082 total COVID deaths in Massachusetts.  At the time breakthrough deaths represented a tiny fraction of all COVID deaths (just 0.6%).

Through January 29, 2022 there have been 21,909 total COVID deaths for an increase of 3,827 total COVID deaths during the intervening period in Massachusetts.

As of January 29, 2022 Massachusetts is reporting a cumulative total of 1,789 breakthrough deaths. Subtract the 106 through July 2021 and you get 1,683 breakthrough deaths from August 1, 2021 through January 29, 2022.

1,683 breakthrough deaths is 43.977% of the total COVID deaths of 3,827 which have occurred since last July. More than 8% of all COVID deaths have now been among the vaccinated in Massachusetts.

If this isn't a picture of evolving vaccine failure I don't know what is.
