In a roundabout way, a January 12, 2022, AP News article<sup style=\"font-size: 10px;\"><span id=\"edn5\" data-hash=\"#ednref5\">5<\/span><\/sup> admits this role:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cFor two years, coronavirus case counts and hospitalizations have been widely used barometers of the pandemic\u2019s march across the world. But the omicron wave is making a mess of the usual statistics, forcing news organizations to rethink the way they report such figures.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u2018It\u2019s just a data disaster,\u2019 said Katherine Wu, staff writer who covers COVID-19 for The Atlantic magazine. The number of case counts soared over the holidays, an expected development given the emergence of a variant more transmissible than its predecessors.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>Yet these counts only reflect what is reported by health authorities. They do not include most people who test themselves at home, or are infected without even knowing about it. Holidays and weekends also lead to lags in reported cases.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>If you could add all those numbers up \u2014 and you can\u2019t \u2014 case counts would likely be substantially higher. For that reason, The Associated Press recently told its editors and reporters to avoid emphasizing case counts &#8230; Many news organizations are debating how best to use statistics now during the Omicron surge &#8230;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>Hospitalizations and death rates are considered by some to be a more reliable picture of COVID-19\u2019s current impact on society. Yet even the usefulness of those numbers has been called into question in recent days. In many cases, hospitalizations are incidental: there are people being admitted for other reasons and are surprised to find they test positive for COVID.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Narrative Switch Aimed at Hiding Failures<\/h2>\n<p>For those who have been \u201cawake\u201d to the censorship and misleading reporting over the past two years, this attempt at steering the narrative in a new direction is just laughable.<\/p>\n<p>How could the AP possibly have missed the fact that it\u2019s been a data disaster from the start? And intentionally so? Case counts were always unreliable, considering the PCR test cannot diagnose an active infection, and excessive cycle thresholds guaranteed ridiculous amounts of false positives.<\/p>\n<p>COVID hospitalization data were always unreliable, because anyone who tested positive for COVID was counted as a COVID hospitalization whether they were symptomatic or not. Nothing has changed in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that has changed is that now media are admitting it \u2014 pretending that this is a brand-new development, of course. The same goes for COVID death counts. They were vastly overcounted from the start, again, because of the reliance on faulty PCR testing.<\/p>\n<p>Media now claim to be moving away from \u201cunreliable\u201d data such as case counts, hospitalizations and even deaths, and for all the reasons we\u2019ve been highlighting for the past two years. For those who have paid attention all along, this is clearly an attempt to change the narrative without losing all credibility (which I think is near-impossible at this point).<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that Omicron is making the holes in the narrative so much bigger, it\u2019s all falling apart. They\u2019re completely losing the rationale for vaccine passports and mandates for work, school and social events, as the higher the vaccination rate, the higher the infection rate.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced January 19, 2022, that he was ending all remaining COVID restrictions in England,<sup style=\"font-size: 10px;\"><span id=\"edn6\" data-hash=\"#ednref6\">6<\/span><\/sup> including mask mandates on public transportation and in schools, as well as vaccine passport requirements for public events.<\/p>\n<p>This is the complete opposite of what the technocrats need in order to justify passports and mandates. To hide, as best as possible, this narrative-killing trend, media are now \u201cexplaining\u201d why they won\u2019t be discussing case counts or even hospitalizations or death rates anymore.<\/p>\n<p>If they were, they\u2019d have to admit that the pandemic response is resulting in an ever-growing disaster. So, don\u2019t be surprised if fact checkers start debunking statistics proving what a disastrous failure the shots are by saying the data on cases, hospitalizations and deaths are simply too unreliable to use anymore.<\/p>\n<h2>New Narrative Doesn\u2019t Make Sense Either<\/h2>\n<p>The new narrative, according to AP News, will highlight things like hospitals running over capacity and general staff shortages.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is, those don\u2019t paint a true picture of COVID\u2019s impact either, because hospitals have furloughed staff due to lack of patients (many have forgone routine medical treatments for fear of COVID), they\u2019ve fired staff for not getting the jab, other staff have simply quit their jobs in the face of vaccine mandates and hospitals have shut down entire wings due to these staff cuts.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if patients start returning, they might rapidly find themselves with more patients than they can currently handle. What else can you expect when hospitals intentionally make these kinds of cuts?<\/p>\n<p>General staff shortages in other industries are an equally flawed barometer of COVID\u2019s impact. Many are still getting federal assistance and therefore don\u2019t want to reenter the work force. Others are forced out due to vaccine mandates.<\/p>\n<p>Others are too sick to work thanks to COVID jab injuries. As recently reported by OneAmerica,<sup style=\"font-size: 10px;\"><span id=\"edn7\" data-hash=\"#ednref7\">7<\/span><\/sup> a national mutual life insurance company based in Indianapolis, in addition to a 40% increase in deaths among working age Americans (and they\u2019re not dying from COVID), there\u2019s also been a noticeable uptick in short-term and long-term disability claims in the third quarter of 2021 compared to prepandemic levels.<\/p>\n<p>Working age Americans are getting too sick to work, and are dying at unprecedented levels, and it\u2019s not because of COVID infection.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018We Failed,\u2019 Danish Media Admit<\/h2>\n<p>The same attempt at switching the narrative can be seen in other countries. Danish media recently admitted they\u2019ve failed the public by being \u201calmost hypnotically preoccupied with the daily corona counts.\u201d<sup style=\"font-size: 10px;\"><span id=\"edn8\" data-hash=\"#ednref8\">8<\/span><\/sup> \u201cWe, the press, must &#8230; take count of our own efforts,\u201d Danish journalist Brian Weichardt writes, \u201cAnd we\u2019ve failed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weichardt admits that journalists failed to ask authorities for clear answers as to \u201cwhat it meant in concrete terms that people are hospitalized with corona and not because of corona.\u201d He also admits that this \u201cmakes a difference.\u201d This, again, is precisely what many of us have been saying for the past two years, and all we got for the effort was a domestic terrorist label.<\/p>\n<p>Weichardt, in this piece, tries to shift the blame from journalists to the authorities themselves. They\u2019re to blame, he thinks. \u201cThe messages of the authorities and politicians to the people of this historic crisis leave much to be desired,\u201d he writes, ignoring the fact that a journalist\u2019s No. 1 duty is to actually investigate, to double-check and to question, and not simply act as a two-legged parrot.<\/p>\n<p>For two years straight, any dissenting opinion has been labeled as dangerous misinformation, even when completely accurate, because that\u2019s how propaganda works. The fact that press members are now starting to backtrack in order to save what little credibility they have left does not change the fact that they have, nearly universally, acted as promoters of propaganda and nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>Now that a majority of people are onto their spiel, they\u2019re trying to pretend as though it were all a genuine mistake. Nice try. Let\u2019s see how these pharma-backed propaganda jockeys fare when it comes to reporting the truth about COVID jab injuries. That will be where the rubber meets the road in terms of regaining credibility, as it will force them to bite the hand that feeds them \u2014 the drug industry.<\/p>\n<p>The sad truth is, we\u2019re likely facing an avalanche of serious chronic ailments going forward, among them, neurodegenerative diseases, as detailed by Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., in her article \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/rightsfreedoms.wordpress.com\/2021\/06\/15\/sars-cov-2-vaccines-and-neurodegenerative-disease\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines and Neurodegenerative Disease<\/a>.\u201d<sup style=\"font-size: 10px;\"><span id=\"edn9\" data-hash=\"#ednref9\">9<\/span><\/sup> A short summation of this article reads as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThere are many reasons to be wary of the COVID-19 vaccines, which have been rushed to market with grossly inadequate evaluation and aggressively promoted to an uninformed public, with the potential for huge, irreversible, negative consequences.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>One potential consequence is to exhaust the finite supply of progenitor B cells in the bone marrow early in life, causing an inability to mount new antibodies to infectious agents.

The COVID shots are an abysmal failure in every way possible. Again and again, data analyses from around the world show a negative correlation between \u201cvaccination\u201d rates and worsening infection rates and other health trends. There\u2019s No Rationale for Passports and Mandates Among the latest data sets to show this are official statistics from the U.K. government. Its \u201cNational Flu and COVID-19 Surveillance Report: 13 January 2022 (Week 2)\u201d1 shows COVID infection rates in the U.K. are higher among the \u201cfully vaccinated\u201d in all adult cohorts. Infection growth rates are also rising faster among the fully vaxxed than in unvaccinated cohorts of all ages. All in all, these data prove that vaccine passports and mandates are completely pointless and nothing more than a coercion tool. In no way do they reduce infection rates, hospitalizations or deaths from COVID. Regardless of how many shots a person has received, they\u2019re still getting infected and transmitting it. Plus, we know the jabbed are veritable incubators for mutating strains. Everything about this mass vaccination campaign is detrimental to public health. Far Higher Infection Rates Among the Fully Jabbed Using U.K. government data, a Twitter user named Don Wolt created a series of helpful graphs that he posted January 16, 2022.2 The graph below shows the differences in infection rates by age and vaccination status, and it is really telling. Across the board, with the exception perhaps of the 80+ age group, the fully jabbed have significantly higher rates of COVID infection, completely decimating the myth that we\u2019re in a \u201cpandemic of the unvaccinated.\u201d Clearly, that is not the case. ... case rates have been lower in unvaccinated individuals than the single, double, or even triple-jabbed since Omicron became the dominant variant in Scotland. ~ The Herald (Wolt clarifies that each bar in this graph represents four weeks of data, obtained from successive weekly U.K. HSA reports, and the chart illustrates the rates of infection \u2014 i.e., the number of infections per 100,000 people \u2014 not absolute numbers. \u201cVaxxed 2-doses\u201d also includes those who have received a third booster.) Infection Rates Rising Faster Among Fully Jabbed In another graph, you can clearly see how infection rates are also rising faster in fully jabbed cohorts than in the unvaccinated \u2014 and this is not a result of higher vaccination rates. Here, Wolt determined the growth of the infection rate for each age cohort by comparing the data of Week 1 against Week 2 in the surveillance report. As you can see by the orange graph bars, the growth rate of infection among the unvaccinated is relatively flat across age groups, whereas the infection growth rate among the fully jabbed keeps trending upward with age. As noted by Wolt, this infection growth rate increase is not due to a tandem increase in the number of people getting a second or third jab. The data show that the greater an age cohort\u2019s vaccination rate is, the higher its infection growth rate (i.e., the rate of increase from one week to the next). Risk of Death Is Extremely Low in Under-50 Age Groups The January 13, 2022, U.K. COVID surveillance report3 does show that, among those aged 50 and over, the COVID shots appear to lower hospitalization rates and death. However, anyone under the age of 50 who tests positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection still has an exceptionally low risk of hospitalization or death, regardless of vaccination status. In those under the age of 30, the risk of being hospitalized or dying from COVID is \u201ceffectively zero,\u201d Wolt notes, which, again, \u201cmakes mandated vaccination utterly unwarranted.\u201d Responding to detractors who point out that the report warns its raw data cannot be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness, Wolt points out that his graphs are not meant to illustrate vaccine effectiveness per se. They merely show rate trends between \u201cvaccinated\u201d and unvaccinated, and these trends clearly invalidate any perceived need for vaccine mandates. Data from Scotland show more of the same. As reported by The Herald, January 13, 2022:4 \u201cDouble-jabbed Scots are now more likely to be admitted to hospital with COVID than the unvaccinated amid an increase in elderly people falling ill due to waning immunity. It comes amid \u2018weird\u2019 data showing that case rates have been lower in unvaccinated individuals than the single, double, or even triple-jabbed since Omicron became the dominant variant in Scotland.\u201d Omicron Forces Media to Rethink What They Report The COVID pandemic has been all about social engineering, which of course cannot be done without the full complicity of the mainstream media. In a roundabout way, a January 12, 2022, AP News article5 admits this role: \u201cFor two years, coronavirus case counts and hospitalizations have been widely used barometers of the pandemic\u2019s march across the world. But the omicron wave is making a mess of the usual statistics, forcing news organizations to rethink the way they report such figures. \u2018It\u2019s just a data disaster,\u2019 said Katherine Wu, staff writer who covers COVID-19 for The Atlantic magazine. The number of case counts soared over the holidays, an expected development given the emergence of a variant more transmissible than its predecessors. Yet these counts only reflect what is reported by health authorities. They do not include most people who test themselves at home, or are infected without even knowing about it. Holidays and weekends also lead to lags in reported cases. If you could add all those numbers up \u2014 and you can\u2019t \u2014 case counts would likely be substantially higher. For that reason, The Associated Press recently told its editors and reporters to avoid emphasizing case counts ... Many news organizations are debating how best to use statistics now during the Omicron surge ... Hospitalizations and death rates are considered by some to be a more reliable picture of COVID-19\u2019s current impact on society. Yet even the usefulness of those numbers has been called into question in recent days. In many cases, hospitalizations are incidental: there are people being admitted for other reasons and are surprised to find they test positive for COVID.\u201d Narrative Switch Aimed at Hiding Failures For those who have been \u201cawake\u201d to the censorship and misleading reporting over the past two years, this attempt at steering the narrative in a new direction is just laughable. How could the AP possibly have missed the fact that it\u2019s been a data disaster from the start? And intentionally so? Case counts were always unreliable, considering the PCR test cannot diagnose an active infection, and excessive cycle thresholds guaranteed ridiculous amounts of false positives. COVID hospitalization data were always unreliable, because anyone who tested positive for COVID was counted as a COVID hospitalization whether they were symptomatic or not. Nothing has changed in that regard. The only thing that has changed is that now media are admitting it \u2014 pretending that this is a brand-new development, of course. The same goes for COVID death counts. They were vastly overcounted from the start, again, because of the reliance on faulty PCR testing. Media now claim to be moving away from \u201cunreliable\u201d data such as case counts, hospitalizations and even deaths, and for all the reasons we\u2019ve been highlighting for the past two years. For those who have paid attention all along, this is clearly an attempt to change the narrative without losing all credibility (which I think is near-impossible at this point). The fact is that Omicron is making the holes in the narrative so much bigger, it\u2019s all falling apart. They\u2019re completely losing the rationale for vaccine passports and mandates for work, school and social events, as the higher the vaccination rate, the higher the infection rate. To that end, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced January 19, 2022, that he was ending all remaining COVID restrictions in England,6 including mask mandates on public transportation and in schools, as well as vaccine passport requirements for public events. This is the complete opposite of what the technocrats need in order to justify passports and mandates. To hide, as best as possible, this narrative-killing trend, media are now \u201cexplaining\u201d why they won\u2019t be discussing case counts or even hospitalizations or death rates anymore. If they were, they\u2019d have to admit that the pandemic response is resulting in an ever-growing disaster. So, don\u2019t be surprised if fact checkers start debunking statistics proving what a disastrous failure the shots are by saying the data on cases, hospitalizations and deaths are simply too unreliable to use anymore. New Narrative Doesn\u2019t Make Sense Either The new narrative, according to AP News, will highlight things like hospitals running over capacity and general staff shortages. The problem is, those don\u2019t paint a true picture of COVID\u2019s impact either, because hospitals have furloughed staff due to lack of patients (many have forgone routine medical treatments for fear of COVID), they\u2019ve fired staff for not getting the jab, other staff have simply quit their jobs in the face of vaccine mandates and hospitals have shut down entire wings due to these staff cuts. Of course, if patients start returning, they might rapidly find themselves with more patients than they can currently handle.

In those under the age of 30, the risk of being hospitalized or dying from COVID is \\u201ceffectively zero,\\u201d Wolt notes, which, again, \\u201cmakes mandated vaccination utterly unwarranted.\\u201d Responding to detractors who point out that the report warns its raw data cannot be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness, Wolt points out that his graphs are not meant to illustrate vaccine effectiveness per se. They merely show rate trends between \\u201cvaccinated\\u201d and unvaccinated, and these trends clearly invalidate any perceived need for vaccine mandates. Data from Scotland show more of the same. As reported by The Herald, January 13, 2022:4 \\u201cDouble-jabbed Scots are now more likely to be admitted to hospital with COVID than the unvaccinated amid an increase in elderly people falling ill due to waning immunity. It comes amid \\u2018weird\\u2019 data showing that case rates have been lower in unvaccinated individuals than the single, double, or even triple-jabbed since Omicron became the dominant variant in Scotland.\\u201d Omicron Forces Media to Rethink What They Report The COVID pandemic has been all about social engineering, which of course cannot be done without the full complicity of the mainstream media. In a roundabout way, a January 12, 2022, AP News article5 admits this role: \\u201cFor two years, coronavirus case counts and hospitalizations have been widely used barometers of the pandemic\\u2019s march across the world. But the omicron wave is making a mess of the usual statistics, forcing news organizations to rethink the way they report such figures. \\u2018It\\u2019s just a data disaster,\\u2019 said Katherine Wu, staff writer who covers COVID-19 for The Atlantic magazine. The number of case counts soared over the holidays, an expected development given the emergence of a variant more transmissible than its predecessors. Yet these counts only reflect what is reported by health authorities. They do not include most people who test themselves at home, or are infected without even knowing about it. Holidays and weekends also lead to lags in reported cases. If you could add all those numbers up \\u2014 and you can\\u2019t \\u2014 case counts would likely be substantially higher. For that reason, The Associated Press recently told its editors and reporters to avoid emphasizing case counts ... Many news organizations are debating how best to use statistics now during the Omicron surge ... Hospitalizations and death rates are considered by some to be a more reliable picture of COVID-19\\u2019s current impact on society. Yet even the usefulness of those numbers has been called into question in recent days. In many cases, hospitalizations are incidental: there are people being admitted for other reasons and are surprised to find they test positive for COVID.\\u201d Narrative Switch Aimed at Hiding Failures For those who have been \\u201cawake\\u201d to the censorship and misleading reporting over the past two years, this attempt at steering the narrative in a new direction is just laughable. How could the AP possibly have missed the fact that it\\u2019s been a data disaster from the start? And intentionally so? Case counts were always unreliable, considering the PCR test cannot diagnose an active infection, and excessive cycle thresholds guaranteed ridiculous amounts of false positives. COVID hospitalization data were always unreliable, because anyone who tested positive for COVID was counted as a COVID hospitalization whether they were symptomatic or not. Nothing has changed in that regard. The only thing that has changed is that now media are admitting it \\u2014 pretending that this is a brand-new development, of course. The same goes for COVID death counts. They were vastly overcounted from the start, again, because of the reliance on faulty PCR testing. Media now claim to be moving away from \\u201cunreliable\\u201d data such as case counts, hospitalizations and even deaths, and for all the reasons we\\u2019ve been highlighting for the past two years. For those who have paid attention all along, this is clearly an attempt to change the narrative without losing all credibility (which I think is near-impossible at this point). The fact is that Omicron is making the holes in the narrative so much bigger, it\\u2019s all falling apart. They\\u2019re completely losing the rationale for vaccine passports and mandates for work, school and social events, as the higher the vaccination rate, the higher the infection rate. To that end, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced January 19, 2022, that he was ending all remaining COVID restrictions in England,6 including mask mandates on public transportation and in schools, as well as vaccine passport requirements for public events. This is the complete opposite of what the technocrats need in order to justify passports and mandates. To hide, as best as possible, this narrative-killing trend, media are now \\u201cexplaining\\u201d why they won\\u2019t be discussing case counts or even hospitalizations or death rates anymore. If they were, they\\u2019d have to admit that the pandemic response is resulting in an ever-growing disaster. So, don\\u2019t be surprised if fact checkers start debunking statistics proving what a disastrous failure the shots are by saying the data on cases, hospitalizations and deaths are simply too unreliable to use anymore. New Narrative Doesn\\u2019t Make Sense Either The new narrative, according to AP News, will highlight things like hospitals running over capacity and general staff shortages. The problem is, those don\\u2019t paint a true picture of COVID\\u2019s impact either, because hospitals have furloughed staff due to lack of patients (many have forgone routine medical treatments for fear of COVID), they\\u2019ve fired staff for not getting the jab, other staff have simply quit their jobs in the face of vaccine mandates and hospitals have shut down entire wings due to these staff cuts. Of course, if patients start returning, they might rapidly find themselves with more patients than they can currently handle. What else can you expect when hospitals intentionally make these kinds of cuts? General staff shortages in other industries are an equally flawed barometer of COVID\\u2019s impact. Many are still getting federal assistance and therefore don\\u2019t want to reenter the work force. Others are forced out due to vaccine mandates. Others are too sick to work thanks to COVID jab injuries. As recently reported by OneAmerica,7 a national mutual life insurance company based in Indianapolis, in addition to a 40% increase in deaths among working age Americans (and they\\u2019re not dying from COVID), there\\u2019s also been a noticeable uptick in short-term and long-term disability claims in the third quarter of 2021 compared to prepandemic levels. Working age Americans are getting too sick to work, and are dying at unprecedented levels, and it\\u2019s not because of COVID infection. \\u2018We Failed,\\u2019 Danish Media Admit The same attempt at switching the narrative can be seen in other countries. Danish media recently admitted they\\u2019ve failed the public by being \\u201calmost hypnotically preoccupied with the daily corona counts.\\u201d8 \\u201cWe, the press, must ... take count of our own efforts,\\u201d Danish journalist Brian Weichardt writes, \\u201cAnd we\\u2019ve failed.\\u201d Weichardt admits that journalists failed to ask authorities for clear answers as to \\u201cwhat it meant in concrete terms that people are hospitalized with corona and not because of corona.\\u201d He also admits that this \\u201cmakes a difference.\\u201d This, again, is precisely what many of us have been saying for the past two years, and all we got for the effort was a domestic terrorist label. Weichardt, in this piece, tries to shift the blame from journalists to the authorities themselves. They\\u2019re to blame, he thinks. \\u201cThe messages of the authorities and politicians to the people of this historic crisis leave much to be desired,\\u201d he writes, ignoring the fact that a journalist\\u2019s No. 1 duty is to actually investigate, to double-check and to question, and not simply act as a two-legged parrot. For two years straight, any dissenting opinion has been labeled as dangerous misinformation, even when completely accurate, because that\\u2019s how propaganda works. The fact that press members are now starting to backtrack in order to save what little credibility they have left does not change the fact that they have, nearly universally, acted as promoters of propaganda and nothing else. Now that a majority of people are onto their spiel, they\\u2019re trying to pretend as though it were all a genuine mistake. Nice try. Let\\u2019s see how these pharma-backed propaganda jockeys fare when it comes to reporting the truth about COVID jab injuries. That will be where the rubber meets the road in terms of regaining credibility, as it will force them to bite the hand that feeds them \\u2014 the drug industry. The sad truth is, we\\u2019re likely facing an avalanche of serious chronic ailments going forward, among them, neurodegenerative diseases, as detailed by Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., in her article \\u201cSARS-CoV-2 Vaccines and Neurodegenerative Disease.\\u201d9 A short summation of this article reads as follows: \\u201cThere are many reasons to be wary of the COVID-19 vaccines, which have been rushed to market with grossly inadequate evaluation and aggressively promoted to an uninformed public, with the potential for huge, irreversible, negative consequences. One potential consequence is to exhaust the finite supply of progenitor B cells in the bone marrow early in life, causing an inability to mount new antibodies to infectious agents. An even more worrisome possibility is that these vaccines, both the mRNA vaccines and the DNA vector vaccines, may be a pathway to crippling disease sometime in the future. Through the prion-like action of the spike protein, we will likely see an alarming increase in several major neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson\\u2019s disease, CKD, ALS and Alzheimer\\u2019s, and these diseases will show up with increasing prevalence among younger and younger populations, in years to come. Unfortunately, we won\\u2019t know whether the vaccines caused this increase, because there will usually be a long time separation between the vaccination event and the disease diagnosis. Very convenient for the vaccine manufacturers, who stand to make huge profits off of our misfortunes \\u2014 both from the sale of the vaccines themselves and from the large medical cost of treating all these debilitating diseases.\\u201d\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/z3news.com\\\/w\\\/#website\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/z3news.com\\\/w\\\/the-spectacular-failure-of-covid-shots\\\/#breadcrumblist\"},\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/z3news.com\\\/w\\\/author\\\/mercola\\\/#author\"},\"creator\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/z3news.com\\\/w\\\/author\\\/mercola\\\/#author\"},\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/z3news.com\\\/w\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/05\\\/C43D8472-9106-40FB-B345-054F888B9355.jpeg\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/z3news.com\\\/w\\\/the-spectacular-failure-of-covid-shots\\\/#mainImage\",\"width\":500,\"height\":500},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/z3news.com\\\/w\\\/the-spectacular-failure-of-covid-shots\\\/#mainImage\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-01-24T19:00:00-05:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-01-25T14:39:54-05:00\"},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/z3news.com\\\/w\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/z3news.com\\\/w\\\/\",\"name\":\"Z3 News\",\"description\":\"Revealing Mystery Babylon\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/z3news.com\\\/w\\\/#organization\"}}]}\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO -->\n\n","aioseo_head_json":{"title":"The Spectacular Failure of COVID Shots | Z3 News","description":"At this point, there is simply no question. The COVID shots are an abysmal failure in every way possible. Again and again, data analyses from around the world show a negative correlation between \u201cvaccination\u201d rates and worsening infection rates and other health trends. There\u2019s No Rationale for Passports and Mandates Among the latest data sets to show this are official statistics from the U.K. government. Its \u201cNational Flu and COVID-19 Surveillance Report: 13 January 2022 (Week 2)\u201d1 shows COVID infection rates in the U.K. are higher among the \u201cfully vaccinated\u201d in all adult cohorts. Infection growth rates are also rising faster among the fully vaxxed than in unvaccinated cohorts of all ages. All in all, these data prove that vaccine passports and mandates are completely pointless and nothing more than a coercion tool. In no way do they reduce infection rates, hospitalizations or deaths from COVID. Regardless of how many shots a person has received, they\u2019re still getting infected and transmitting it. Plus, we know the jabbed are veritable incubators for mutating strains. Everything about this mass vaccination campaign is detrimental to public health. Far Higher Infection Rates Among the Fully Jabbed Using U.K. government data, a Twitter user named Don Wolt created a series of helpful graphs that he posted January 16, 2022.2 The graph below shows the differences in infection rates by age and vaccination status, and it is really telling. Across the board, with the exception perhaps of the 80+ age group, the fully jabbed have significantly higher rates of COVID infection, completely decimating the myth that we\u2019re in a \u201cpandemic of the unvaccinated.\u201d Clearly, that is not the case. ... case rates have been lower in unvaccinated individuals than the single, double, or even triple-jabbed since Omicron became the dominant variant in Scotland. ~ The Herald (Wolt clarifies that each bar in this graph represents four weeks of data, obtained from successive weekly U.K. HSA reports, and the chart illustrates the rates of infection \u2014 i.e., the number of infections per 100,000 people \u2014 not absolute numbers. \u201cVaxxed 2-doses\u201d also includes those who have received a third booster.) Infection Rates Rising Faster Among Fully Jabbed In another graph, you can clearly see how infection rates are also rising faster in fully jabbed cohorts than in the unvaccinated \u2014 and this is not a result of higher vaccination rates. Here, Wolt determined the growth of the infection rate for each age cohort by comparing the data of Week 1 against Week 2 in the surveillance report. As you can see by the orange graph bars, the growth rate of infection among the unvaccinated is relatively flat across age groups, whereas the infection growth rate among the fully jabbed keeps trending upward with age. As noted by Wolt, this infection growth rate increase is not due to a tandem increase in the number of people getting a second or third jab. The data show that the greater an age cohort\u2019s vaccination rate is, the higher its infection growth rate (i.e., the rate of increase from one week to the next). Risk of Death Is Extremely Low in Under-50 Age Groups The January 13, 2022, U.K. COVID surveillance report3 does show that, among those aged 50 and over, the COVID shots appear to lower hospitalization rates and death.

As you can see by the orange graph bars, the growth rate of infection among the unvaccinated is relatively flat across age groups, whereas the infection growth rate among the fully jabbed keeps trending upward with age. As noted by Wolt, this infection growth rate increase is not due to a tandem increase in the number of people getting a second or third jab. The data show that the greater an age cohort\u2019s vaccination rate is, the higher its infection growth rate (i.e., the rate of increase from one week to the next). Risk of Death Is Extremely Low in Under-50 Age Groups The January 13, 2022, U.K. COVID surveillance report3 does show that, among those aged 50 and over, the COVID shots appear to lower hospitalization rates and death. However, anyone under the age of 50 who tests positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection still has an exceptionally low risk of hospitalization or death, regardless of vaccination status. In those under the age of 30, the risk of being hospitalized or dying from COVID is \u201ceffectively zero,\u201d Wolt notes, which, again, \u201cmakes mandated vaccination utterly unwarranted.\u201d Responding to detractors who point out that the report warns its raw data cannot be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness, Wolt points out that his graphs are not meant to illustrate vaccine effectiveness per se. They merely show rate trends between \u201cvaccinated\u201d and unvaccinated, and these trends clearly invalidate any perceived need for vaccine mandates. Data from Scotland show more of the same. As reported by The Herald, January 13, 2022:4 \u201cDouble-jabbed Scots are now more likely to be admitted to hospital with COVID than the unvaccinated amid an increase in elderly people falling ill due to waning immunity. It comes amid \u2018weird\u2019 data showing that case rates have been lower in unvaccinated individuals than the single, double, or even triple-jabbed since Omicron became the dominant variant in Scotland.\u201d Omicron Forces Media to Rethink What They Report The COVID pandemic has been all about social engineering, which of course cannot be done without the full complicity of the mainstream media. In a roundabout way, a January 12, 2022, AP News article5 admits this role: \u201cFor two years, coronavirus case counts and hospitalizations have been widely used barometers of the pandemic\u2019s march across the world. But the omicron wave is making a mess of the usual statistics, forcing news organizations to rethink the way they report such figures. \u2018It\u2019s just a data disaster,\u2019 said Katherine Wu, staff writer who covers COVID-19 for The Atlantic magazine. The number of case counts soared over the holidays, an expected development given the emergence of a variant more transmissible than its predecessors. Yet these counts only reflect what is reported by health authorities. They do not include most people who test themselves at home, or are infected without even knowing about it. Holidays and weekends also lead to lags in reported cases. If you could add all those numbers up \u2014 and you can\u2019t \u2014 case counts would likely be substantially higher. For that reason, The Associated Press recently told its editors and reporters to avoid emphasizing case counts ... Many news organizations are debating how best to use statistics now during the Omicron surge ... Hospitalizations and death rates are considered by some to be a more reliable picture of COVID-19\u2019s current impact on society. Yet even the usefulness of those numbers has been called into question in recent days. In many cases, hospitalizations are incidental: there are people being admitted for other reasons and are surprised to find they test positive for COVID.\u201d Narrative Switch Aimed at Hiding Failures For those who have been \u201cawake\u201d to the censorship and misleading reporting over the past two years, this attempt at steering the narrative in a new direction is just laughable. How could the AP possibly have missed the fact that it\u2019s been a data disaster from the start? And intentionally so? Case counts were always unreliable, considering the PCR test cannot diagnose an active infection, and excessive cycle thresholds guaranteed ridiculous amounts of false positives. COVID hospitalization data were always unreliable, because anyone who tested positive for COVID was counted as a COVID hospitalization whether they were symptomatic or not. Nothing has changed in that regard. The only thing that has changed is that now media are admitting it \u2014 pretending that this is a brand-new development, of course. The same goes for COVID death counts. They were vastly overcounted from the start, again, because of the reliance on faulty PCR testing. Media now claim to be moving away from \u201cunreliable\u201d data such as case counts, hospitalizations and even deaths, and for all the reasons we\u2019ve been highlighting for the past two years. For those who have paid attention all along, this is clearly an attempt to change the narrative without losing all credibility (which I think is near-impossible at this point). The fact is that Omicron is making the holes in the narrative so much bigger, it\u2019s all falling apart. They\u2019re completely losing the rationale for vaccine passports and mandates for work, school and social events, as the higher the vaccination rate, the higher the infection rate. To that end, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced January 19, 2022, that he was ending all remaining COVID restrictions in England,6 including mask mandates on public transportation and in schools, as well as vaccine passport requirements for public events. This is the complete opposite of what the technocrats need in order to justify passports and mandates. To hide, as best as possible, this narrative-killing trend, media are now \u201cexplaining\u201d why they won\u2019t be discussing case counts or even hospitalizations or death rates anymore. If they were, they\u2019d have to admit that the pandemic response is resulting in an ever-growing disaster. So, don\u2019t be surprised if fact checkers start debunking statistics proving what a disastrous failure the shots are by saying the data on cases, hospitalizations and deaths are simply too unreliable to use anymore. New Narrative Doesn\u2019t Make Sense Either The new narrative, according to AP News, will highlight things like hospitals running over capacity and general staff shortages. The problem is, those don\u2019t paint a true picture of COVID\u2019s impact either, because hospitals have furloughed staff due to lack of patients (many have forgone routine medical treatments for fear of COVID), they\u2019ve fired staff for not getting the jab, other staff have simply quit their jobs in the face of vaccine mandates and hospitals have shut down entire wings due to these staff cuts. Of course, if patients start returning, they might rapidly find themselves with more patients than they can currently handle. What else can you expect when hospitals intentionally make these kinds of cuts? General staff shortages in other industries are an equally flawed barometer of COVID\u2019s impact. Many are still getting federal assistance and therefore don\u2019t want to reenter the work force. Others are forced out due to vaccine mandates. Others are too sick to work thanks to COVID jab injuries. As recently reported by OneAmerica,7 a national mutual life insurance company based in Indianapolis, in addition to a 40% increase in deaths among working age Americans (and they\u2019re not dying from COVID), there\u2019s also been a noticeable uptick in short-term and long-term disability claims in the third quarter of 2021 compared to prepandemic levels. Working age Americans are getting too sick to work, and are dying at unprecedented levels, and it\u2019s not because of COVID infection. \u2018We Failed,\u2019 Danish Media Admit The same attempt at switching the narrative can be seen in other countries. Danish media recently admitted they\u2019ve failed the public by being \u201calmost hypnotically preoccupied with the daily corona counts.\u201d8 \u201cWe, the press, must ... take count of our own efforts,\u201d Danish journalist Brian Weichardt writes, \u201cAnd we\u2019ve failed.\u201d Weichardt admits that journalists failed to ask authorities for clear answers as to \u201cwhat it meant in concrete terms that people are hospitalized with corona and not because of corona.\u201d He also admits that this \u201cmakes a difference.\u201d This, again, is precisely what many of us have been saying for the past two years, and all we got for the effort was a domestic terrorist label. Weichardt, in this piece, tries to shift the blame from journalists to the authorities themselves. They\u2019re to blame, he thinks. \u201cThe messages of the authorities and politicians to the people of this historic crisis leave much to be desired,\u201d he writes, ignoring the fact that a journalist\u2019s No. 1 duty is to actually investigate, to double-check and to question, and not simply act as a two-legged parrot. For two years straight, any dissenting opinion has been labeled as dangerous misinformation, even when completely accurate, because that\u2019s how propaganda works. The fact that press members are now starting to backtrack in order to save what little credibility they have left does not change the fact that they have, nearly universally, acted as promoters of propaganda and nothing else. Now that a majority of people are onto their spiel, they\u2019re trying to pretend as though it were all a genuine mistake. Nice try. Let\u2019s see how these pharma-backed propaganda jockeys fare when it comes to reporting the truth about COVID jab injuries. That will be where the rubber meets the road in terms of regaining credibility, as it will force them to bite the hand that feeds them \u2014 the drug industry. The sad truth is, we\u2019re likely facing an avalanche of serious chronic ailments going forward, among them, neurodegenerative diseases, as detailed by Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., in her article \u201cSARS-CoV-2 Vaccines and Neurodegenerative Disease.\u201d9 A short summation of this article reads as follows: \u201cThere are many reasons to be wary of the COVID-19 vaccines, which have been rushed to market with grossly inadequate evaluation and aggressively promoted to an uninformed public, with the potential for huge, irreversible, negative consequences. One potential consequence is to exhaust the finite supply of progenitor B cells in the bone marrow early in life, causing an inability to mount new antibodies to infectious agents. An even more worrisome possibility is that these vaccines, both the mRNA vaccines and the DNA vector vaccines, may be a pathway to crippling disease sometime in the future. Through the prion-like action of the spike protein, we will likely see an alarming increase in several major neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson\u2019s disease, CKD, ALS and Alzheimer\u2019s, and these diseases will show up with increasing prevalence among younger and younger populations, in years to come. Unfortunately, we won\u2019t know whether the vaccines caused this increase, because there will usually be a long time separation between the vaccination event and the disease diagnosis. Very convenient for the vaccine manufacturers, who stand to make huge profits off of our misfortunes \u2014 both from the sale of the vaccines themselves and from the large medical cost of treating all these debilitating diseases.\u201d","inLanguage":"en-US","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/#website"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/the-spectacular-failure-of-covid-shots\/#breadcrumblist"},"author":{"@id":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/author\/mercola\/#author"},"creator":{"@id":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/author\/mercola\/#author"},"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/C43D8472-9106-40FB-B345-054F888B9355.jpeg","@id":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/the-spectacular-failure-of-covid-shots\/#mainImage","width":500,"height":500},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/the-spectacular-failure-of-covid-shots\/#mainImage"},"datePublished":"2022-01-24T19:00:00-05:00","dateModified":"2022-01-25T14:39:54-05:00"},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/#website","url":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/","name":"Z3 News","description":"Revealing Mystery Babylon","inLanguage":"en-US","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/#organization"}}]}},"aioseo_meta_data":{"post_id":"218856","title":null,"description":null,"keywords":[],"keyphrases":{"focus":[],"additional":[]},"primary_term":null,"canonical_url":null,"og_title":null,"og_description":null,"og_object_type":"default","og_image_type":"default","og_image_url":null,"og_image_width":null,"og_image_height":null,"og_image_custom_url":null,"og_image_custom_fields":null,"og_video":"","og_custom_url":null,"og_article_section":null,"og_article_tags":[],"twitter_use_og":false,"twitter_card":"default","twitter_image_type":"default","twitter_image_url":null,"twitter_image_custom_url":null,"twitter_image_custom_fields":null,"twitter_title":null,"twitter_description":null,"schema":{"blockGraphs":[],"customGraphs":[],"default":{"data":{"Article":{"id":"aioseo-article-634e185235df5","slug":"article","graphName":"Article","label":"Article","properties":{"type":"BlogPosting","name":"#post_title","headline":"#post_title","description":"#post_excerpt","image":"","keywords":"","author":{"name":"#author_name","url":"#author_url"},"dates":{"include":true,"datePublished":"","dateModified":""}}},"Course":[],"Dataset":[],"FAQPage":[],"Movie":[],"Person":[],"Product":[],"ProductReview":[],"Car":[],"Recipe":[],"Service":[],"SoftwareApplication":[],"WebPage":[]},"graphName":"Article","isEnabled":true},"graphs":[]},"schema_type":"default","schema_type_options":"{\"article\":{\"articleType\":\"BlogPosting\"},\"course\":{\"name\":\"\",\"description\":\"\",\"provider\":\"\"},\"faq\":{\"pages\":[]},\"product\":{\"reviews\":[]},\"recipe\":{\"ingredients\":[],\"instructions\":[],\"keywords\":[]},\"software\":{\"reviews\":[],\"operatingSystems\":[]},\"webPage\":{\"webPageType\":\"WebPage\"}}","pillar_content":false,"robots_default":true,"robots_noindex":false,"robots_noarchive":false,"robots_nosnippet":false,"robots_nofollow":false,"robots_noimageindex":false,"robots_noodp":false,"robots_notranslate":false,"robots_max_snippet":"-1","robots_max_videopreview":"-1","robots_max_imagepreview":"large","priority":null,"frequency":"default","local_seo":null,"breadcrumb_settings":null,"limit_modified_date":false,"ai":null,"created":"2022-01-25 16:34:46","updated":"2025-07-16 14:20:01","seo_analyzer_scan_date":null,"focus_keyword":null,"additional_keywords":null,"truseo_locale":null},"aioseo_breadcrumb":"<div class=\"aioseo-breadcrumbs\"><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/\" title=\"Home\">Home<\/a>\n\t\t<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">\u00bb<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/category\/vaccines\/\" title=\"Vaccines\">Vaccines<\/a>\n\t\t<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">\u00bb<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\tThe Spectacular Failure of COVID Shots\n\t\t<\/span><\/div>","aioseo_breadcrumb_json":[{"label":"Home","link":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/"},{"label":"Vaccines","link":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/category\/vaccines\/"},{"label":"The Spectacular Failure of COVID Shots","link":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/the-spectacular-failure-of-covid-shots\/"}],"authors":[{"term_id":657,"user_id":687,"is_guest":0,"slug":"mercola","display_name":"Dr Joseph Mercola","avatar_url":{"url":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/C43D8472-9106-40FB-B345-054F888B9355.jpeg","url2x":"https:\/\/z3news.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/C43D8472-9106-40FB-B345-054F888B9355.jpeg"},"author_category":"","user_url":"https:\/\/mercola.com","last_name":"Mercola","first_name":"Dr Joseph","job_title":"","description":"Dr. Joseph Mercola is the founder of Mercola.com.
