Let me try to summarize these three factors that skew results:

Effect 1: Healthy people of stable means and good eduction seek so-called healthy interventions like good diet, exercise and vaccines. All else being equal, this biases results in favor of the vaccine.

Effect 2: Unhealthy people, people in poverty, and people who are about to die soon because of some other factor are less likely to vaccinate. All else being equal, this also biases results in favor of the vaccine.

Effect 3: Older people and those in fragile health tend to experience accelerating mortality over time, so they actually constitute a unique cohort which can only be compared to itself rather than being grouped into the vaxxed-unvaxxed categories.

Off topic for a moment. I just learned that President Trump took a Covid-19 Booster on October 10th. What? Is he even listening to RFK Jr? This at the heels of rolling out the red carpet for Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, awarding Pfizer $70 billion, praising them for reshoring their poisonous drugs and vaccines, and telling them how great of a job they did during COVID, while Kennedy – who called Pfizer “a craven, venal, homicidal, morally bankrupt, criminal enterprise that has captured and corrupted its regulators.” stood by. What’s going on here?

Yeah - before he was elected in 2016, Donald Trump claimed he had never taken a flu shot. He does whatever he feels is most beneficial for his agenda and portfolio at the time.

- Donald Trump stated in a 2015 interview on the Opie & Jim Norton radio show that he had never received a flu shot and had never had the flu... While he later claimed in 2020 that he had received three flu shots, required by the White House, he questioned their necessity, saying, "I don’t know if I should have. Who knows?"

When I wrote about the flu vaccine recently and found increased deaths after the jabs I, as a non epidemiologist, disagreed that this can be just excused by any healthy vaccinee effect - there is a temporally associated spike, if it is Healthy vaccinee effect there would not be the spike, if it is worth anything chatgpt agreed, I argued that if I invited a group of the elderly to tea and they had increased deaths right after I would ask hard questions about what’s in the tea. This spike in deaths is excluded as healthy vaccinee effect, despite the fact that the jab has known dangers. What you are saying seems to be -if I try to convert to plain English for a moment - to be vaccines in the elderly are less dangerous than thought, because the ones that don’t have them are even more robust than previously adjusted for - but this to me still doesn’t explain the temporal association of have whatever jab and then the sudden rise in deaths in a temporally associated way. It’s also always asssumed that those who opt to not have whatever are doing so because “well” I as sample of one am not “well” I am merely informed.

"Static HVE is because people who choose to be vaccinated have different socio-economic status, better access to healthcare, and have greater health-seeking behaviors. These vaccinated people can have 2x to 5x (or sometimes 10x as noted by Hoeg) lower mortality than their unvaccinated peers." You talk about this all the time but I get very confused because what about the millions of people who don't get vaccinated because they know it is dangerous? I think that in general these people make better health decisions overall. And you are probably friends with many such people. So where do those numbers effect?

Also when you talk about this group of those "who choose to be vaccinated" do you mean just any vaccine the government recommends or the just the covid vaccine? And are you including those who continue to choose getting the covid vaccine vs those who don't?

Who is and where is Hoeg that says that "these" vaccinated can have 10x lower mortality than their unvaccinated peers? I would love to see such a study. I think you yourself brought plenty of data that in real numbers the vaccinated are dying more than the unvaccinated so what in the world does this mean?

Good topic. There is another issue that affects people dying, rather than aging. Example, in New Zealand in 2020 and 2021 we kept out the seasonal flu that normally kills 1500 a year in the colder months. Flu leads to pneumonia which is the killer. So in 2020 we had around 2000 deaths less than expexted. In 2021, paricularly from May onwards, we saw a rebound to somewhere neara normal death rates, even without the flu. You might suggest that was due to the latent deaths expected in 2020, partly true, but you can't apply normal death rates to a time when one of the biggest killers is absent. Coincidently, the jabs rolled out in earnest in May 2021 and a surge in deaths arrived in June and continued to October/November. Mainly in the elderly. Borders were opened in late 2021 after the "safe and effective" jabs had been dispensed, then the boosters started in December/January. All hell broke loose in February/March when Covid swept through the jabbed population, creating a 10% rise in deaths for 2022. So its difficult to apply the 8.5% rule when the threats are so unuasual.

The number 1 killer of men over 40 years old is using ladders. If a vaccine caused a non fatal but debilitating injury to a man over 40yo so that he could no longer use a laddder then you have eliminated the number 1 killer. Crippling someone to make them live longer.

I have to agree with altruistica Steve. I was a pharm rep for Pfizer for 24 years and read hundreds of clinical papers, but I don't understand what you've written here. Maybe you could do what my late husband asked of the cardiac surgeon before his by-pass. He said, please explain it to me as if I were a kindergartner. I am 82 and would like to understand what you are saying here. I have never been vaccinated and don't plan to be, but I would like to know more about your article. I have had Covid twice and had a mild case with full recovery. I am not in perfect health of course, but get along pretty well for my age I think.

It is more reasons why uncontrolled retrospective studies are not helpful. There are just too many confounding co-variables.

Steve,

I haven't commented on one of your posts for quite a while, though I do skirt through them as they appear in my inbox.

I didn't understand a word of what you wrote, since the article didn't outline the technical terms at the beginning, within the document.

It doesn't really matter as I am not commenting on the particulars of the article.

As someone who started going down rabbit holes over twenty years ago after the diagnosis of my son with high-functioning autism (their term....my term is vaccine-induced autism), I no longer really engage in any of this. When Covid came along (March 2020) and I, as one of the astute ones already knew of Gates's 101 war games in Sept 2019, following the unusual death of Kay Mullis, the inventor of PCR testing a month earlier, I knew something was afoot. The next two months confirmed this, as no-one dropped down dead at the supermarket and other than media reports, you would never know anything was different. By May 2020, I had declared myself a sovereign state and as such would not be following any of the herd's rules or dictats. I also posted on social media the following warning.

DISBELIEVE POLITICIANS

DISTRUST HEALTH OFFICIALS

DISOBEY POLICE

Of course I was slated, branded a conspiracy theorist, yada, yada, yada. Banned from Facebook, etc.

I remember every date of what happened, when and how.

The reason for this post though, is to ask you to reflect on your own life and what it means. Where do you want to spend the rest of your life? What do you want to do?

I no longer debate about any of this to naysayers anymore. The evidence is all there for everyone to see. I found the concept of 'The Fifth Dimension' in all of this and it explains to me the reason for everything better than anything I've heard before. I now believe in past lives. I now believe in multiple dimensions. I now know this time on Earth is a mere playground in which consciousness intertwines in a never-ending game. It has given me the capacity to lose the ego, to come to terms with people who cannot see what is obvious because of their fear of letting go. A much read statement during the uncovering of this awakening was, 'We are all on a journey'. Not the same journey and most of us will be back again, to try again to elevate our spirit to a higher dimension.

My advice to you, would be to begin to look into The Fifth Dimension. It may offer to you a kind of peace that you probably haven't seen in at least four years. Stop looking at all the data from around the world to prove your case. Very few people care. Seek happiness for yourself and start to enjoy the rest of your days. Of course, I might have got this all wrong and that you actually enjoy perusing the datasets, the interviews etc.

Whatever you choose to do, thanks for all the work you have done so far in exposing Big Pharma for the gangsters that they are.

Best wishes,

Alan Butterworth

Alan, your post has an admirable tone of authenticity and humility, it resonates with some of my experiences. When Event 201 was held on Oct. 18, 2019, anticipating and table-topping the multi-disciplinary plan for government, media, and public health control -- while many at the simultaneous Invictus Games military mini-Olympics held in Wuhan began to complain of severe flu symptoms, there and back home -- we can see in the name "201" the broad outlines of an occult secret agenda emerging. When Gavin Newsom in March 2020 predicted that "56% of Californians would be infected within 8 weeks", where 8 * 7 also = 56, his inexplicable precision is obviously occult gematria, communicating to elite players using ritual numerology that a serious game was in play, and all hands were expected to be on deck.

To me personally, it is obvious that we inhabit a multiverse both seen and unseen, where intelligent beings at higher dimensional orders play their roles in a great hierarchy of being and influence. And there is a game-like, playground aspect to it all, as you noted, maybe because it was indeed designed as a learning experience, a spiritual progression.

However if I might introduce a new thought, it seems that there is something amiss in the system, some kind of revolt or insurgency that has infected and tainted the original design and plan. In biblical terms, some of the Higher Dimensional beings have rejected their authorized roles and authorities, rejecting the Ancient Rules (the "Law of Love") that must guide those who live in a realm where thought is tantamount to action. Desiring the kind of focus and "worship" owed to a loving Creator, they then dragged incarnate humanity into the fray, inciting man to reject his divine fellowship and calling, and luring us to embrace occult religions and practices (including for example the technology of violence) which are de facto worship of these lesser spiritual beings, or lower-case "g" gods, if you will. There is a passage, Genesis 6:1-4, which speaks to even physical manifestations of this higher dimensional projection into our physical realm, an infiltration into the affairs of men, which progressed to terrible evil and malevolence.

Having read Robert Monroe and others who have explored the psychic multiverse using various spiritual techniques, it seems to me that there is a level of deception operating that blinds all of us, whether in the body and "out of the body" -- not just the "veil of forgetting" that limits most of us from seeing beyond our physical senses and this current life, but prevents most from discerning the rebellion of "the Archons" (including Lucifer / Satan) and how it implicates us and affects us, individually and collectively. The Apostles taught that Christ came to break this powerful negative spiritual dynamic, and finalize the long history of revelation of deeper truth that the Bible represents, wherein Jesus is the archetypal "Lamb slain from the foundation of the world", the One who can break the power of the rebellion's magick (a spiritual legal covenant or contract, really) and reconcile us to the true Creator. These insights, if pursued in genuine humility and love, have the power to transform our lives and shine a light on the darkness of the secret society Luciferians, or Illuminati, and their fellow travelers in the service of the Fallen Ones.

Thank you for your very meaningful and rich post.

Wow Jason,

On first reading your response, the second half took me to a place I haven't investigated much. In 2020, I started reading the bible starting with the Old Testament. I got about 7 chapters in, but couldn’t understand how the Creator could be so cruel and also how the Jews were always the persecuted ones and God always punished their persecutors. I never carried on....I will one day. I did however, also read (and began to set to music) Book of Revelations. In it, I found an eery connection to the madness we were seeing all around us. It was like the '6uild 6ack 6etter' Brigade were taking their cues from this very script.

In all of this, I came across Dolores Canon and Alan Watts, who I remembered from my research into Rupert Sheldrake and his theory of morphic resonance. This then led to The Fifth Dimension which introduced the idea of the ego, losing the ego, the search for truth, losing the fear and embracing forgiveness as the pinnacle of enlightenment. The idea that forgiving someone is done so that you can move on, irrespective of the outcome on the recipient, was something Id never considered before. It has helped me so much. No longer do I feel the need to 'win' an argument with the use of logic so that my version of 'the truth' should be adopted. My tone now, if I ever do discuss such topics, is not at all adversarial, but much more lacking in any real emotion letting the facts as they exist at the moment, speak for themselves. Once again, this is not a 'pre-planned' modus operandi calculated to achieve the effect. Quite the opposite, it is a 'letting go' in a mode of true authenticity, to let the universe sort it all out.

It has been a long journey. I remember adopting a phrase about ten years ago when looking at 'flat Earth' research, that summed up how I was feeling about most things at the time.....'I now believe nothing, and also believe everything'

I had adopted this stance because I was no longer willing to 'pin my colours to a mast'. When doing so, it makes you unreceptive to another's point of view, branding them a racist, a bigot, a sexist, whatever.....Just look at how divisive the world is today because of this clan mentality.

Anyhow, thanks for your reply. It was very welcome.

Al

Hey I'm sorry but I am terrible at following up on Substack (and other) notifications. I am touched by hearing such interesting details of your spiritual journey and wish I had more time today, I'm under the gun on some holiday preps and house repairs.

A couple weeks ago I saw Steve Hackett, the original and most notable Genesis guitar player, perform their epic 20+ minute "Suppers Ready", written mostly by Peter Gabriel based on the book of Revelation. You may already be familiar with that piece, but either way, some evening pour a glass of wine, print out the lyrics, put on the headphones, and find the live version from "Second's Out", their 1977 live album. Crank it up. After all these years I still get goosebumps as they invoke all the mystery and numinous spiritual good vs evil themes that fascinate us so much... not bad for Art School students who weren't really aiming for a "Christian" experience, but were regarded as a "Trips" band at the time.

Also, if I may, I suggest you restart your Bible exploration with the Gospel of John, in a decent modern translation (New English, New International, there are others). Before reading, pray a simple prayer, along the lines of "Hello, I believe there might be a hyperintelligent Creator spirit, who may have revealed himself in history by incarnating in a human body, and fulfilled many Old Testament prophecies to prove it. Please guide my thoughts and reading and reveal yourself to me. I deeply hope you are as merciful and loving as sincere Christians claim you are. Thank you in advance."

God is happy to oblige sincere seekers, and sometimes will even pursue people who seem determined to give him the big middle finger, but a little humility goes a long way in all levels of consciousness. Doesn't sound like open defiance is your cup of tea, so press on and feel free to reply or DM me if you want to exchange thoughts.

Sincere regards, JP
