An article discusses a recent Danish study on CV-19 seroprevalence and ties it to the lack of efficacy of the country’s typical lockdown, masking and other requirements. As the author notes and as we have shown with Minnesota data, these measures had no impact on infections, everyone got infected, usually multiple times. Some informative charts are included in the post. (CV-19 Post)
I am not sure what study he is referring to, there are several large Danish ones that include prevalence data. The most recent one is found here. It covers the primary period of the epidemic, from April 2022 through December 2022. If you look at the supplementary data you see what a huge percent of the population was infected by this time. (Danish Study)
As usual, my concern is that all this data on futility of intervention will be ignored the next time.
Yes, they are likely to go with a narrative that makes Public Health out to be saviors of humanity and allows them (government) to take over and restrict your freedoms.
Worldometers.info has infection and death rates per 1m for each country and for each state. It also have graphs of both the infections and deaths by month.
A scan of most every state and most every country shows the vax had zero effect on infection rates. Infection rates were almost every state and every country always the highest in the Fall 2022 with much greater rates that pre vax introduction.
The data from Worldometers is consistent with the two Denmark studies posted by K Roche.
The Worldometer’s data of death rates is more nuanced with many states and countries showing higher death rates after the vax introduction. Unfortunately, Worldometers doesnt have the deaths weighted by age group. Approx 78% of covid deaths were in the 65+ age group which comprised about 16% to approx 21% of each states population. As such, any analysis of death rates without a deep dive into the 65+ age group is meaningless and often intentionally misleading.
One study that i would like to see, and perhaps the SOA might have done it, is the impact on Social Security and Medicare from the spike in deaths from the 65+ age bracket.
There was some initial research that showed little net benefit to Medicare, due to offsetting CV-19 costs, but benefits to SS in terms of reduced payouts. I have not seen anything lately but will check.
