Florida Provides the Latest Proof That the Covid Vaccines Did Not Save Lives

by Dr Clare Craig
11 July 2023 7:00 AM

The benefits claimed from the Covid injections (now reduced to an assertion that they prevent severe disease and deaths – claims that infections or transmission are reduced having been jettisoned) are heavily dependent on a measure of the number of deaths per case. Unfortunately, due to inconsistencies in the way ‘cases’ are measured these data have to be taken with a pinch of salt. Furthermore, there are no historic data on how data on cases changed over time for previous respiratory viruses. Having a disproportionate number of cases per deaths for a third wave of an influenza variant might be the norm. No-one knows. All that we do know is that historically waves of hospitalisations and deaths for influenza have been of a similar size and duration each  year.

Joel Smalley has analysed the data from Florida and has broken them down by age group. Here are the death curves for the over-65s in Florida. It is a repeating pattern of several waves of similar size.

Figure 1: Deaths in Florida for over-65 year-olds. Total deaths (black line) over the baseline (dotted black line) at the top and Covid deaths (green) with the weekly excess deaths in grey bars.

Compared to waves in recent years caused by other respiratory viruses there were more deaths in these waves attributed to Covid.

Somehow people believed the lie that the fall from the beginning August 2020 was due to lockdown and the fall from January 2021 was due to vaccinations. However, the same people accept that the fall from August 2021 and January 2022 were both natural events. It is hard to reconcile those beliefs. Clearly, the timing of the earlier peaks was the same time of year as the later ones suggesting a natural peak occurred with each wave. It becomes very hard to see a vaccine benefit of any kind given the equivalent size and duration of these death waves before and after injection. The official claim is that the third wave would have been close to 20 times larger in the absence of vaccination in order for the injections to have been 95% efficacious against death. That is an extraordinary claim.

Having established the impact Covid had in Florida on the more vulnerable over-65 year-olds we are ready to look at the impact on younger age groups. Here are 25-44 year-olds.

Figure 2: Deaths in Florida for 25-44 year-olds. Total deaths (black line) over the baseline (dotted black line) at the top and Covid deaths (green) with the weekly excess deaths in grey bars.

Covid had minimal impact on this age group. A small July 2020 peak is evident but no January 2021 or January 2022 peak is seen. Instead, there was a rise from lockdown but it’s a plateau not a wave. Then there’s the dramatic death spike in summer 2021.

The official story is a combination of:

  1. There were more cases for Delta
  2. Delta was more deadly in the young
  3. It was the unvaccinated young who were dying

The first is reliant on the case data, which are not a reliable measure as they are subject to testing rates, reporting rates and how the testing is carried out. The second depends on the idea that relatively minor changes to a virus can dramatically change its biology. There is not good evidence that such mutations have caused any major change in either transmissibility or deadliness let alone the pathology it causes. For example, comparing transmissibility over the course of a whole wave shows that the proportion of contacts becoming infected was similar for every variant. Omicron was indeed less deadly but had numerous mutations of the spike protein which did change its pathology. Even Omicron did not result in a different death rate for different age groups. Thirdly, the claims of deaths being in the unvaccinated were heavily skewed by many patients whose vaccination status was not recorded being assumed to be ‘unvaccinated’, by the first two weeks after injection being classified as ‘unvaccinated’ and by an underestimation of the size of the unvaccinated population.

Importantly, by May 2021, nearly 30% of 25-44 year olds had been injected.

That is a huge proportion and you can bet it included all – or nearly all – of those who were at risk of dying from Covid.

Figure 3: The total percentage of each age group to have received an injection in Florida

So why did the young in Florida die, right at the time when they were being injected?

Unlike in the U.K., Florida vaccinated young people at a time when there was a marked wave of Covid. Filling the body with synthetic spike keeps the immune system very busy. During that time it is not able to do its day job properly. We know this for a variety of reasons.

First, Pfizer reported on the impact on one type of white blood cell in the first few weeks. After a week it had recovered but it certainly fell and we don’t know how low.

Figure 4: The count of the white blood cells, lymphocytes, in the blood in patients injected with the Pfizer product at different periods before and after vaccination. The left graph shows a molecule that was rejected for having too severe an effect. The others show the molecule used (central graph 18-55 year-olds and right hand side 65-85 year-olds). The measure at day 1-3 was still low and it is not clear how low it went before that measure.

There is other evidence of the impact, such as the high rates of shingles and the around 40% higher rates of Covid infection in the first two weeks after injection.

If the Delta wave really would have caused substantially more deaths in the absence of Covid vaccination then we would have seen huge Delta waves in low vaccination countries. 

Take, for example, South Africa, where only 10% were injected by August 2021. The pre-Omicron waves were all of a similar magnitude. This was true for both Covid-labelled deaths and excess deaths.

Figure 5: Covid attributed deaths in South Africa
Figure 6: Excess deaths as percentage of baseline in South Africa

Another example would be Palestine, which can be compared to Israel. Palestine had larger waves of excess mortality in the pre-vaccination and post-vaccination era, but within each country the waves were of similar magnitude over time. By September 2021 only 20% of Palestinians were injected compared to 64% of Israelis. The lower excess deaths in Israel are likely due to having had high numbers of deaths earlier on as the Covid labelled deaths had a similar dimension regardless.

Figure 7: Covid labelled deaths in Israel and Palestine
Figure 8: Excess deaths as percentage of baseline in Palestine and Israel

A further example would be Bahrain and Oman – two nations in the Arabian peninsula that fared worse than others. Both are heavily vaccinated but the timing was markedly different. Bahrain went early and had vaccinated half its population by the end of April 2021. At the beginning of June 2021, Oman had only vaccinated 7% and did not reach 50% of the population until mid-August. A large Delta wave surged in Bahrain with vaccine rollout in May 2021 but did not affect Oman until June. Ultimately, the lack of vaccination in Oman until summer had no detrimental impact. (Excess death data are not available for Bahrain.)

Figure 10: Covid attributed deaths in Bahrain and Oman 
Figure 11: Cumulative covid attributed deaths in Bahrain and Oman

The claim that Covid vaccines saved lives does not stand up to any scrutiny.

92% of UK dead post the stabbination program, were perforated and jabbed. Add in the dead and injured from the stabs and efficacy is a massive negative. Rona dead: many of them with the fake tests: average age 82, Fat, with pre-conditions. IFR 0.3%. There was never a need for the stabs, nor lockdowns. Rona was simply a pilot project for future scamdemics to get the sheeple used to diapers, self-imprisonment and endless stabbies.

Why do you need to stab someone in the deltoid with murdered baby kidney-cell derived poisons, which include aluminium, formaldehyde, mercury and other toxins, plus mRNA and the ‘spikeys’ for a viral attack in the lung area? The stupidity of such a claim is astounding.

It is clear if you bother to analyse any of the stabs including smallpox and other non-existing viruses that the junk is built for profit, (and control) not for health.

Good to see it again. This one was produced by HART on 2/7, and I referred to it in a comment on something else in “latest news” a week or so back. The only item that is missing is the possibility that Covid-19 jabs injured quite a few people, either directly or via other problems. Not all such occurrences would be in the death totals for the same period of time, presumably. But yes, the claim that it did any good does not stand up to scrutiny.

150 K dead post the stabbinations. Millions injured, thousands have had their lives ruined.
25 K dead from Rona, from not with the fake tests.
I am just an idiot and not the science, but it appears to be a massive negative balance against the retards who promote stabs.

Superb work from Dr Claire Craig.

Yet still the likes of Dr David Lloyd (lefty, Brexit-hating GP) will go onto the Media and claim – with no evidence whatsoever except the flawed WHO models – that the jabs saved millions of lives.

What’s the significance of vaccination levels in May 21 for the spike in the 25-44 yrs age bracket that occurred in August 21, especially if one is pointing out that vaccinees were considered unvaccinated until 2 weeks after injection? August is fully 3 months later. Why was there such a pronounced spike at all if vaccines were the cause, instead of a progressive rise similar to the rate of vaccination?

To be fair, the Amish people provide a very interesting and effective control group against any vaccines all year round. No wonder they’re suspiciously never reported on and ignored by Big Pharma captured scientists, such are these inconvenient to the narrative results. This just says it all really. Contrast this to your ultra-highly vaccinated typical American kid;

”In a new comprehensive study, presented by VSRF founder Steve Kirsch to the Pennsylvania State Senate, it was calculated that for Amish children, who are strictly 100 percent unvaccinated, typical chronic conditions barely exist, if any at all.
These chronic conditions, which many vaccinated children and swaths of Americans suffer from, include auto-immune disease, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, ADHD, arthritis, cancer, and autism.
During testimony before the PA Senate, expert health advocates shared details on why there have never been any reports published regarding the health of Amish children in general.
“After decades of studying the Amish, there’s no report because the report would be devastating to the narrative,” Kirsch testified.”

Well I had no idea this sort of information was recorded. Interesting and very telling. Yet more proof the UK government couldn’t give a rat’s derriere about the British public. Absolutely inexcusable;

”Excess deaths; a reminder.

This slide shows the number of times the phrase ‘excess deaths’ has been recorded in the Houses of Parliament, since 1 Jan 21.

The spike to the right of the chart shows 11 references, during ‘Excess Deaths: Policy Implications’ from 24 Jan 23 in the House of Commons. I would encourage you to read the transcript, which is not very long, and confirms that the Government could not care less and has absolutely no interest in finding reasons, especially since this is happening in other countries.”

Given the fragility of people’s minds these days I used to wonder if they would be angry when they found out. But lately I have noticed a more fatalistic note from people in general – yes they know that they were duped and yes they know that they are weak but they are passed the point of caring. If you don’t address the issue of demoralisation in this country then everything else ceases to matter.This is on every level most noticeably economically. We have let things decay for several decades we really need to make a bit of an effot now.

Where are the studies analysing the “extra life” gained by survivors of C-19 by 5-year age groups. “As my wife intoned as the rolls of the dead were being paraded on the BB each evening, “They might have had a few more years in them.” I suspect not.
