But I’m afraid you’d need to hold the hand of every single “journalist” through these numbers.
I suspect 99% can’t add up their daily shop.

Way before Covid, I had learnt to read journal articles starting with the “competing interests” section, then methods, then results and conclusions last.
Covid certainly reinforced my policy.
It also means that the vast majority of research can be happily consigned to the dustbin.
I never cease to be amazed when the “conclusions” of a research paper are diametrically opposed to the “results”, purely in order to keep the financial masters happy, and score a publication.
I persuaded my 62 year old wife to complete a Yellow Card incident when she suffered from it.
I unfortunately couldn’t previously persuade her not to have the jab as she had a holiday of a life time booked in the Maldives with her friends and that is the only reason she had it.
So what was the nature of the adjustment for covariates? This is the key question, but Thorsteinn doesn’t say. Were they explained in the paper or not?
If you automatically assume you’re being lied to, you won’t go far wrong.
“If you automatically assume you’re being lied to, you won’t go far wrong.”
My view entirely. Always assume that announcements from official bodies, whoever they are, are a pack of lies until said authorities prove differently. As a default position it is highly recommended
22.1% excess deaths here in the UK in week ending 21 April..
2540 non Covid excees deaths in 1 week.. More excess deaths than at the height of the so called “pandemic”
Where’s the debate?, wheres Whitty et al with their graphs and daily broadcast now???
The only politician who raised these concerns gets thrown out of Parliament, even though he was democratically elected by his constituents.
Similar excess deaths in all vaxxed countries
A highly effective “vaccine”??? No it wasn’t.
Cancer relapses through the roof………… Bio weapon would be a more appropriate term.
