Ireland Will Finally Distinguish Between Hospital Patients Actually Ill From Covid and Those Who Simply Test Positive

by Michael Curzon
26 July 2021 4:09 PM

The Irish Government has announced that it will change the way it collects data on Covid hospitalisations by distinguishing between those who are admitted to hospital because of the virus and those who test positive after being admitted for other reasons. It’s only taken them 17 months! RTÉ has the story.

At present, the Health Service Executive [HSE] Covid hub website states that there are 141 people in hospital who have tested positive for Covid, of whom 22 are in ICU.

A Government spokesperson said it is “seeking better data on hospitalisations in order to better inform decision making.

“This includes details on the total number of positive cases in hospital, the number who contracted Covid while in hospital, and those being treated for Covid specifically.”

RTÉ has also requested this information from the HSE but no data has been forthcoming.

The Government spokesperson added: “Details are also being sought on how many travel-related cases had been fully vaccinated.

“The matter will be discussed further with the National Public Health Emergency Team.”

Last week, HSE Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry said the “great majority of [Covid patients are in hospital] because they are sick with Covid.

“In some cases there are outbreaks, and in those outbreaks people have been picked up who either who didn’t have symptoms, or very mild symptoms.”

However, Tony Canavan, CEO of the Saolta Hospital Group, told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland last week that “nearly all the [coronavirus] cases” in the group’s hospitals “are being admitted for other reasons” than Covid.

Of those that do test positive for the disease, “the majority are exhibiting mild or moderate symptoms”.

Worth reading in full.

They are doing this to show you they do not care. They will bend the view on the data whatever way they need.

Yet in England you could go in for an in-grown toe nail, take an LFT, test positive and be classed as both a case and a hospitalisation! 18 months of bending the figures.

The UK said it was going to do this but I’ve seen no evidence of it so far. Perhaps it was kicked into the long grass because it didn’t support the narrative.

UK Vaccination began on 8th Dec 2020.
As of the 15th July 2021 – 219 days later. There have been:

1,490 DEATHS
1,082,942 ADVERSE REACTIONS to all COVID vaccines.

This data is from the Yellow Card Reporting System which at best is
estimated to report only 10% of all reactions and deaths!

Over the 219 day period:

DEATHS a DAY – 6.8
ADVERSE REACTIONS a DAY – 4,944.9

With an Absolute Risk Reduction of ~ 1%
These vaccines are neither SAFE or EFFECTIVE!

“With an Absolute Risk Reduction of ~ 1%” according to the manufacturers…
From the figures Will crunched yesterday, 1% ARR is being incredibly generous!

Well, they would do wouldn’t they? It reduces the apparent prevalence of covid. They can say, “It’s because of the vaccines, you know. So you’d all better get yours.”

Yes – my first thought. There is always a devious reason when they change their counting procedures.

It is instructive to look at the age related statistics on deaths as presented on https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk.
If you look at the headline figure it is deaths within 28 days of a positive test and it has been rising slowly in recent days. This is, however, accompanied by another graph showing deaths with Covid on the death certificate and that appears to be flat lining at around 20.
A look at the graph which shows deaths for over and under 59 has pretty much all the deaths occurring in the older group.
So older people who coincidentally had a positive test in the last month are dying and younger people aren’t. Well, what a surprising outcome.

Is this not utterly predictable? Now is the period to spruik vaccine effectiveness, so the fewer cases the better. Before, the idea was to ramp up hysteria, so the more cases the better.

Too late. Everyone has been jabbed. That’s why this will ‘disappear’. All smoke and mirrors.
