The Eternal Mandates, By Brian Simpson

The health authorities are not admitting that the Covid mandates and vaxxes were a failure, but instead are doubling down on it. No doubt if and when bird flu becomes a plandemic, we will see a rollout of the same policies, which gave so much to the globalists. Thus, constant debunking's are necessary.

It has been claimed that mitigating behaviours and vaccines saved around 800,000 American lives. This claim is taken apart at the Daily Sceptic.org. They show that this sort of claim is methodologically flawed: "Thanks to public health experts and their pharmaceutical company allies, most jurisdictions only count individuals as being vaccinated starting 14 days after their second dose. Those with just one dose are effectively viewed as 'unvaccinated' for purposes of data collection. This type of counting skews the reliability of deaths by vaccination status, as does the fact that there were mountains of mistakes made by public health administrators and jurisdictions regarding data collection throughout the pandemic.

But especially when it comes to deaths by vaccination status. Not to mention that the supposed efficacy of Covid vaccines is highly reliant on when the data were measured. Even the CDC's own data in late 2023 effectively acknowledged that the original vaccination series had waned to reach zero efficacy."

Of course, these sort of pro-system academic papers conveniently ignore the deaths and injuries from the Covid vaxxes, which as has been reported at this site in numerous previous articles, far surpasses any supposed lives saved from the Covid infection. One such estimation is 20 million deaths worldwide.

"We're in the middle of 2024, and the 'experts' still won't give up their ridiculous defence of Covid mandates.

By now, the evidence against the effectiveness of Covid policies and so-called 'interventions' is overwhelming. Mask mandates were a spectacular failure, with the most heavily masked populations often seeing worse results than cities, counties or countries with little to no masking.

Vaccine mandates and passports were an unmitigated disaster; coercion created mistrust, and resistance and in some cases may have led to unnecessary, damaging side effects.

School closures, as we have clearly learned, were a tremendous, world-changing disaster. And it was made all the more frustrating by the fact that we had examples across the globe showing that they weren't needed.

None of that's stopped those committed to maintaining the fantasy of Covid mandates from desperately seeking to validate their belief system. And that desperation just led to one of their most absurd claims yet.

Two researchers from formerly reputable institutions, the University of Colorado, Boulder and the University of California, Los Angeles, just recently published a paper claiming to have cracked the fantastical code on just how effective the social distancing, lockdowns, mask mandates and Covid vaccines were at saving lives during the pandemic.

And what do you know? They found that the policies they supported were tremendous, highly successful interventions! Who would have ever guessed?

According to the headline, they claim that: 'Mitigating behaviour and vaccines saved around 800,000 American lives.'

How did they arrive at this awe-inspiring conclusion? With a model, of course!

Mechanism: Around 68% of Americans got vaccinated before first infection
First Covid infection much less dangerous after vaccination

This is what we're dealing with here; a model based on a "back-of-the-envelope" estimate of lives saved, with their esteemed educated guess as to how many Americans were vaccinated before becoming infected.

Well, 'guessing' might not be accurate… completely guessing is more like it. According to their methodology, they used serology data on the timing of infections and vaccinations, though, of course, without direct links between individuals who were infected and those who were vaccinated, there's little we can learn from population-wide serology data.

Not to mention that to create their model on the benefits of vaccination, they examined data from just 30 states on "COVID-19 deaths by vaccination status".

But as anyone with even a cursory knowledge of Covid data knows, this type of data is hopelessly corrupted.

Thanks to public health experts and their pharmaceutical company allies, most jurisdictions only count individuals as being vaccinated starting 14 days after their second dose. Those with just one dose are effectively viewed as 'unvaccinated' for purposes of data collection. This type of counting skews the reliability of deaths by vaccination status, as does the fact that there were mountains of mistakes made by public health administrators and jurisdictions regarding data collection throughout the pandemic.

But especially when it comes to deaths by vaccination status. Not to mention that the supposed efficacy of Covid vaccines is highly reliant on when the data were measured. Even the CDC's own data in late 2023 effectively acknowledged that the original vaccination series had waned to reach zero efficacy.

Regardless, the poor methodology used to create this model is evidenced by one of their first examples of measuring combined and infection seroprevalence."
