Covid Vaccination Linked to 21% Increase in Medical Problems – Nature

by Will Jones
28 February 2023 5:29 PM

Adults have sharply higher risks of being diagnosed with heart, skin and psychiatric conditions for at least 90 days after they receive Covid jabs, a peer-reviewed study of almost 300,000 people in California, published in the leading journal Nature, has shown. Alex Berenson has the details.

The researchers examined new diagnoses given to the same people before and after they were vaccinated to see whether the shots changed the risk of new health problems.

They found that people were about 21% more likely to receive a new diagnosis in the three months after a shot, compared to the three months before. With almost 240 million American adults jabbed, the rise translates into millions of extra new medical problems found in the months after vaccination, and tens of millions worldwide.

Serious conditions such as hypertension were about 25% more likely to be diagnosed in the three months following a shot than the three months before, the researchers found.

Depression, eczema, diabetes, and cellulitis were 10-20% more likely.

Myocarditis diagnoses had the highest additional risk. They were about 2.6 times as likely overall, with an even higher risk in men. Myocarditis is a known side effect of the mRNAs, so the fact it had a particularly high rate of extra diagnoses provides strong evidence that the signal the researchers found was real.

Overall, the researchers reported that the 284,000 Covid-vaccinated adults they examined received almost 6,000 additional diagnoses of health conditions in the 90 days after being jabbed compared to the 90 days before.

With about 237 million American adults vaccinated, that estimate would translate into about five million extra diagnoses for problems like diabetes in the three months following the shots. Worldwide, the number could be up to 25 million.

Worth reading in full.

Because ALL the MSM do and thats all that counts. Sheeple will hang on every word he says without a shred of critical thought. If people did their research, they’d know that Ferguson isn’t an Epidemiologist, he’s a Physicist. he has no medical training whatsoever.

All of Neil Ferguson’s modelling prior to lockdown being announced showed the most benefit to come from isolation of the vulnerable coupled with quarantine of those infected.

It really isn’t at all clear why they went for universal lockdown instead.

Even most sheep wouldn’t swallow that one so, viola, create a climate of fear – and the rest simply follows – dodgy gene therapy being the only way to stop everyone dying = compulsory “vaccination” = digital ID.

I suspect its because every other country in Europe was doing it, other than Sweden. With the situation very unclear as to the severity/deaths etc, the UK followed everyone else. Its easy to look back now and say that it may not have been the right choice, but at the time, it was a crisis situation, and you go safe option, tried and trusted, at least ‘what everyone else is doing’. No-one wants to be the one to choose another route and get it wrong…

This is nonsense. All Sweden did is follow standard approved WHO protocol for pandemics. The lockdowns are completely experimental and never formed part of already wargamed solution to pandemics. This is a crime scence, a war zone, not a rational response to a genuine health crisis. Its a completely irrational response to what is at worst a low mortality rate virus. Dont believe me – allow HMG to explain. HMG downgraded C19 from a high consequence infectious disease 19th March 2020, before the first lockdown.

High consequence infectious diseases (HCID)Status of COVID-19
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-consequence-infectious-diseases-hcid#status-of-covid-19

As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK. There are many diseases which can cause serious illness which are not classified as HCIDs.

The 4 nations public health HCID group made an interim recommendation in January 2020 to classify COVID-19 as an HCID. This was based on consideration of the UK HCID criteria about the virus and the disease with information available during the early stages of the outbreak. Now that more is known about COVID-19, the public health bodies in the UK have reviewed the most up to date information about COVID-19 against the UK HCID criteria. They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall), and there is now greater clinical awareness and a specific and sensitive laboratory test, the availability of which continues to increase.

If Big Pharma, medics, and the state were going to go for “focused protection”, i.e. mostly protecting people aged over 80 who tend to be the ones most at risk from pneumonia, then

1) they would have done it nearly 2 years ago, and
2) hospitals throughout my lifetime have always been places where old people catch pneumonia, and seriously I don’t know how on earth the authorities are going to change that – the country hasn’t got the effing resources.

“Given that the vaccines don’t provide lasting protection against infection, they’re best seen as a way to protect the most vulnerable.”

Huh?

In other news: click here to watch from 0:28 in Tesco’s Christmas advert and tell me that that couple aren’t under house arrest.

(Note to those who haven’t yet begun to wrap their heads around how propaganda works: yes, I know that superficially the point is that Tesco delivers even to those who live in high-up flats. The actual message is that even if you’re under house arrest

  • the state loves you
  • big business still wants your money
  • and don’t be a killjoy and moan about it – just accept it with a smile on your face and keep your wallet open.)

Further to your observation about tower block inmates being under house arrest.

The only people who ever thought tower blocks were a good idea were social experimenters like that twat le Corbusier(sp?) who condemned mostly working class people to live their lives in those shit-holes just to test his theories.
Aided and abetted by corrupt local councillors who implemented them to line their own pockets, notably “Champion of The People” T. Dan Smith in Tyneside, late 1970s but he wasn’t the only one

Noah says
“a month ago I asked if we should encourage people to get the virus so as to build up more immunity . . .”

Over a year ago I was making the same point here at lockdownsceptics when telling of students largely disregarding instructions not to socialise or mingle both in halls of Residences and in student houses of multiple occupation.
I argued that they should be left to get on with it and thus be post-covid safe to go home and share Xmas with Granma.

When the Autumn term ended and the student body were asked to take part in mass testing before leaving precisely 6 tested positive.

The age breakdown for positive test in England show clearly that the 20 to 24 age group has had far fewer positives than the younger and older groups, suggesting that they did acquire natural immunity earlier.

Latvia has banned unvaccinated MPs from voting and even from taking part in debates, and it will also dock their salaries. There are nine of them, out of 100 MPs altogether. (Source.) The Latvian authorities have today begun a crackdown on the unvaccinated outside of parliament too, including by banning them from supermarkets. That’s even if they have a “medical reason” for being unvaccinated. For some reason Latvia isn’t been reported much, if at all, in the British MSM.

They are preferring to report on Austria, perhaps because more of their journalists know where the country is, and they know it’s in some foreign place called “Europe”. The publicly-remunerated turd Katya Adler at the BBC is saying it will be “interesting” to see how restrictions are enforced.

Sad given that Latvia so keenly adopted the new democracy following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
A report yesterday suggested that all who voted in favour of banning unvaxxed MPs came from the ruling ‘far right’ coalition. It would be interesting to know if the banned MPs all come from a particular part of the political spectrum or do they perhaps represent the substantial ethnic Russian minority?

Presumably Latvia has a Constitutional Court? Can’t see such a ban getting past that if properly run.

I’ve wondered whether they will try to pull that here. Health min. De Jonge, of the CDA, formerly the single biggest party in NL, over the past 10 years or so has been decimated and is now a shadow of its former glory, has lost a lot of voters over the years to Wilder’s PVV and presumably in the last year or 2 to FvD (Forum for Democracy), not that far removed from the PVV.

Wilder’s has taken the approach of being against any mandates, but does not oppose any and all measures as such (some yes, like the night curfew). FvD is against all measures and is very outspoken against the vaxx itself. If De Jonge gets his way and allows a caretaker government to push through unconstitutional legislation that can bar people from attending their workplace unless vaxxed/recovered, he will be able to keep FvD MPs from entering parliament. Considering they are clear opponents to the current government, that smacks far more of doing away with political opposition than anything to do with public health concerns.

I don’t know if he will try to keep political opponents out of parliament and I am even less convinced he would succeed in doing so if he tried, but I am keeping my eyes open for the attempt, which in itself would be disgraceful enough.

I remember my BIL (aged late 70s) disagreeing with the GBD because he thought focused protection meant that at his age, he would be forced to stay indoors except for necessary outings and exercise. I pointed out that for the GBD creators, it was advice but not mandatory. I fear focused protection if it was instigated in the future might be aimed only at the non-jabbed, especially the older ones of which I know quite a few, and be mandatory.

This is like the abusive partner admitting they have made mistakes and telling their battered victim they have changed their ways now … but one thing is missing in their admission … an apology – a sincere heartfelt sorry for all the harm they have caused and damage they have inflicted.

“Anyway, back to Neil Ferguson”

Why the f., Noah, are you giving more air-time to this numptey fraud as a means of hanging your hat?

All you do is rehearse various Narrative threads :

(1) There’s the true ‘vaccine hesitancy’ – the sort that pauses to think that the 1% ARR does something practically useful.

(2) ‘Focused protection’ is a novel idea. It isn’t – it’s what we all practise when there’s a virus about.

(3) That the virus is exceptionally dangerous to the older population. It isn’t – the somewhat raised mortality follows the natural curve.

(4) More burbling about ‘infections’ and ‘cases’ are given credibility, ffs.

(5) Above all – that this straw man has any insight, given his disatrous modelling record.

Give it a rest.

Neil Ferguson is not suggesting focused protection at all, or the benefits of natural herd immunity. He is simply saying that protection against COVID should be focused and that the less vulnerable population will likely, naturally, acquire immunity to COVID. Please don’t twist his words.

I remember at, about the mid-point of this debacle, reading some analysis on costs vs benefits of lockdowns/restrictions on this site.

We are now over 18 months in and some of the data, including things like NHS waiting lists is shocking.

I wrote to my pro-lockdown Labour MP over a year ago now, warning that the cure is probably going to be worse than the disease, I included a number of pieces of data at the time – but they were largely predictive.

Surely, as I notice the Telegraph is reporting, we have a mounting tsunami of real world evidence that this is the case?

I wonder if readers or contributors have an up to date lists of harms vs benefit, so I can write to my MP once more?

Any help would be great – and, I would encourage DS to work on getting this together so we can all do the same.

At some point they are going to have to admit that lockdown was a policy choice, not a necessity and we have to start making the shit stick on them – and not their scapegoats.

I can’t help thinking that a coordinated focus on this would begin to help shift the argument.

In April 2020, about 5 or 6 weeks after this all kicked-off, by accident while channel hopping, I came across a late night talk fest (they’re usually quite serious, socially-engaged nonsense here, hence I avoid like the plague). A woman was talking, either a doctor or hospital administrator, about all the measures they had taken, how tough it had been. Everyone around the able was looking at her as she were Jesus giving the sermon on the mount.

Then a chap there got his turn to speak. He was a professor of Public Administration and Risk Assessment. He said that yes, NL had done well to deal with such an unexpected and overwhelming event, but that no one had ever bothered to speak of cost/benefit and that it was time to start doing so. He had emails from oncologists and other doctors saying they were prevented from continuing their work and that this would lead to missed/late diagnoses which would result in deaths further down the line. He presented a variety of costs/negatives that could arise from focusing solely on corona and that there was great need to do a cost/benefit analysis going forward. The rest of the people at the table looked at him as if he were insane or had just murdered their cat. They hardly responded to what he said and moved on to someone who continued to fawn over the lady who was singlehandly saving the country from corona.

I expect to hear the cost/benefit analysis about 10 years from now, with a lot of “sorries, we got it wrong, we’ll do better”.

Neil Ferguson does not get to walk this back. By the time all deaths are counted, from lockdowns to delayed hospital appointments, his formal advice to government has killed hundreds of thousands of people totally unnecessarily. He has committed crimes against humanity and must stand trial. Or this happens again and again. This cannot be a “no consequences” situation.

Ferguson knows how the Covidofants produce these numbers and what they actually correspond to: Healthy people repeatedly being caught in the mass-testing net, eg, pupils, people who have to undergo workplace testing etc and – obviously – Corona-mad volunteers who keep testing themselves, many presumably also repeatedly testing positive all the time.

Most COVID data is bogus given the ease with which the numbers can be adjusted by the authorities to support the desired narrative at any moment in time – this is particularly true of “cases” which can be made to rise by simple virtue of doing more tests or ramping up the number of PCR cycles used.

The share of positive tests is a slightly better measure as it removes the influence of the number of tests done from the comparison*

And if we look at that measure in the UK, Netherlands and Germany we can clearly see the UK’s positive cases are on a downward trend while the Netherlands and Germany are rising steeply. Perhaps the UK got more of its pandemic over with in 2020 and so has greater immunity now? All of those Guardian commenters in 2020 saying “look how much better our European friends are doing with COVID compared to the little Englanders” may look a little foolish if so (not for the first time).

* Of course there are still plenty of confounding variables when comparing the positive test rates in different countries: PCR cycle numbers and also what populations are subject to testing – if testing is focused on people with symptoms, for example, rather than mass testing of asymptomatic people, the positive rate will be higher. In the end all cause mortality is the only measure worth looking at.

Downward trend is no longer the case for the UK, at least not for now: Mass testing, presumably again mostly of healthy pupils, has again stopped an attempt at stealing the experts their beloved pandemic (simulation) dead in its tracks!

When they captured Osama bin Laden, someone suggested he should be sentenced to having to go through airport security for the remainder of its life. Similarly, I hope all of SAGE and all these professors of public gobbledegook and international dideldidum who are behind this will end up being force-tested for COVID twice per day for the remainder of their lives.

I have always said, right from the beginning of this debacle, that covid parties was the way to go.

Just like the measles parties of old.

It’s not to late. As a bonus, its likely the virus has become less virulent (probably why its not killing so many, nothing to do with “vaccine” effectiveness) & more infectious (showing up the “vaccines” for what they are, useless). Evolving, as most viruses do, becoming less harmful, because killing your host is an evolutionary dead end.

Neil Ferguson will forever be known as the bloke who told everybody else to stay at home to protect their grannies whilst he had his mistress, the wife of another man, flit across London to his lair for a bit of rumpy pumpy. What a hypocrite.

I was going to quote Luke 15:7 (“There will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent”) but, because Ferguson is a mendacious, philandering, self-regarding, serially inaccurate cuck, I think I’ll stick instead with John 11:35 (“Jesus wept”).

Neil Ferguson Makes the Case for Focused Protection

I think the only focused protection we’re likely to see is vaccine passports & locking up the healthiest in society, i’e. The unvaccinated.

YES the big pharma propaganda & liberal religion of scientism is taking us, to chemical apartheid, the likes of Austria, Australia, Germany are discriminating against the healthiest people in society & calling them unclean for not polluting their bodies with synthetic alien substances, and to think I used to ridicule conspiracy theorists who would rant about transhumanism & Malthusianism!

Time Ferguson and Gates/China financed Imperial College were exposed as among the principal engineers of the Global Covid Scam and the Mass Gene Therapy Injection ‘project’. He has obviously been primed once again to join in on the latest Lockdown hype .

It is now all so obviously all a pack of total lies.

This isn’t the first time, and it’s unlikely to be the last, that I’ve said, “fuck off, Ferguson”.

You have to hand it to Ferguson, he is consistent. He’s been consistently 100% wrong, about everything he decides to open his mouth and talk about.

Focused Protection ?

isn’t that where they protect the “vulnerable” by locking down the un-vaxxed ?

ferguson’s been trotted out to give the next predictive programming heads-up.

⁣Hospitals in USA and in first world countries are refusing life-saving Ivermectin treatment even with court orders. Big Pharma doing everything they can to jab us no matter what, while alternative COVID cures EXIST! There happens to be heavy censorship who are looking for these treatments.

Ferguson coming around to agreeing with the Great Barrington Declaration? Unbelievable. This snake is a piece of work! He is now slithering to escape from his part of the blame for this hellish fiasco. He should be at the front of the line of accused when Nuremburg 2 takes place!

To use an old pejorative term, he’s ‘covering up his a—e’ to defend himself. I agree with you that there is nothing paradoxical about normal human behaviour and it’s outcome. The concept of “lockdown” and related political behaviour is the real problem, is it not?

If I had just made a very public pronouncement recommending new restrictions of any sort, I would not break those rules as it would undermine their credibility. Unless, of course, I didn’t believe what I’d just espoused.

But, this is exactly what Ferguson and too many other ‘experts’ to name were discovered to have done. For me, this proves beyond doubt that we’re being conned.

Imagine Churchill not carrying his gas mask.

The snake Ferguson is ‘nudging’ towards what’s being hinted at in France.. confining people over 65 in their homes.. for their protection of course. But it wouldn’t stay there as the hint then talked of over 50s.

Do you see where this is going ?

They know that isolating people damages them, makes them vulnerable, so they are weasel wording their way into the next stage of this farce..

Same old same old.. divide and rule..

I’m a bit confused about the paragraph refering To Martin & Jay it looks like a bit of it has gone missing. If any one is in any doubt they were clear that we would build up immunity over time and we should have concentrated on protecting the most vulnerable. If we had followed their advice as set out in the Great Barrington declaration we would have had less deaths and suffered less cost to our country’s finances. Feguson and Hancock and many other scientists rubbished the declaration and we have paid and are paying in increased taxes the cost of that. The most wrong thing is that those scientists who gave very flawed advice to our government are still being listened to by them.

That would be locking down DAGE then would it, so the rest of us can carry on living normally?
