Another look at non-CV-19 excess deaths in Minnesota, which likely are equal to or more than the actual CV-19 deaths.

Pretty much caught up with the short set of research summaries on the usual topics.

The first of catchup posts on recent research.

Wind farms are an environmental nightmare and disrupt the regional sea food chains.

Tik-Tok is controlled by the Chinese government and used by it to interfere in US elections and policymaking.

While the mainstream media reliably parrot the official line on jobs growth, a closer look shows it just ain’t so.

A further exploration of the effect of matching the population size estimates to the year of event data demonstrates an even greater decline in apparent vaccine effectiveness.

Background on the census data which is available for Minnesota age group size estimates, which reveals even more clearly why DOH’s choice of 2019 five-year estimates is flawed.

No real change in event trends in any population sub-category as we head to winter.

This is a complex and tricky issue, but it appears very clear from our analysis that DOH is using an approach that substantially exaggerates vaccine effectiveness in the 65 and over age group.

More questionable methodological selections by Minnesota DOH lead to an overstatement of the effectiveness of the vaccines in the oldest age group.

A slightly delayed update to the data on cases, hospitalizations and deaths by vax status.

Despite some newspaper headlines, there is no sign of any significant uptick in CV-19 events.

There really is no good reason for people to get endless numbers of CV-19 vaccine boosters, including the new “bivalent” one.

A truly tremendous set of research summaries covering excess deaths, bad effects of the epidemic response, vaccines, population immunity and other fascinating topics.
