For some time anyone who dared to question the possibility of excess Covid 19 deaths were ridiculed by establishment opinion. However, there are a number of analyses being shared to encourage questions about higher than normal death rates because of Covid 19 in working age people.

In Barbados there is definitely a worry of elderly people dying reportedly because of contracting Covid 19. Unfortunately exhaustive Covid 19 related data is not made public by local public health authorities to support rigorous independent analysis. However, more and more questions are being asked of the local public health authority in some quarters about excess deaths linked to the Covid 19 pandemic.

A non traditional publication by the name of The Conservative Woman questioned last week if the Germans have raised a plausible link between individuals injected with the Covid vaccine and excess deaths. The blogmaster in the public interest thought it important to share different opinions flowing in the news feed. Local government departments feeding the skepticism of the public is a well known fact as it relates to accurately aggregating data. Several times we have witnessed Covid 19 statistics adjusted with a one line explanation. The question some continue to ask of the local public health authority is – how robust is the criteria used to parse Covid 19 data in Barbados?

It is a preprint research paper by Christof Kuhbandner (a psychologist at Regensburg) and Matthias Reitzner (a statistician at Osnabrück) who have applied sophisticated actuarial analysis to the publicly available all-cause mortality data provided by the German government. Eugyppius comments: ‘When you account for historical mortality trends, the virus no longer looks so dangerous and the vaccines no longer look so great.’ 

TCW

As a matter of urgency to ensure confidence in maintained in the public health authority, independent agencies including the UWI, Cave Hill should be allowed to perform a deep dive of the criteria used to collect and analyze Covid 19 data. The pandemic has exposed globally there is growing cynicism and distrust by the public regarding how public health officials rolled out the Covid 19 vaccination project.

This is a call for greater transparency in Barbados to provide clarity about possible excess deaths. It should not be difficult to collate a minimum of 5 years of data between 2017 and current to eliminate questions being asked about excess deaths.

  1. NO

    Of course. But during the interregnum he’s made nuff sew and sew money as well.

    A little stale (to 2018), but the nuff sew and sew money he made was with your buddy Soros. At some point, like all contarians, he will be correct.


  3. The predictions business as a contrarian is fraught.

    The truth is that Rodgers’ estimates have been consistent with the general trends for the average citizen.

    Except for the continuous stream of free money and low interest rates flooding the financial markets a calamity would have been here already.

    Indeed, they have not yet recovered from 2008-9.implosion.

    All this time the FIRE sector has been playing monopoly on the public’s dime, creating irrational market conditions while main street continues to suffer.

    Yes, Rodgers is from the old school and maybe his instincts are a bit dated but the general trajectory of his meanings cannot now be discounted.

    Where he has been imprecise is the same place where most economists and financial people are also failing – measuring financialized markets.

    The externalities of several wars ongoing or brewing and the associated economic divorce will act to make Rodgers unmistakably right this time.

  6. Do boosters save people from getting very sick with Covid?
    New data from Britain say the opposite.

    Alex Berenson

    Newly mRNA boosted adults aged 40-74 are now TWICE as likely to be hospitalized for Covid as those who haven’t recently been boosted, a new British government report shows.

    Vaccine advocates endlessly claim that though mRNA shots fail against Omicron infection in weeks, they still miraculously prevent Covid from becoming a serious illness that could require hospitalization.

    These figures, which cover hospitalizations in June, suggest otherwise.

  7. Fauci’s Red Guards: Lawsuit Reveals Vast Federal Censorship Army
    “This evidence suggests we are uncovering the most serious, coordinated, and large-scale violation of First Amendment free speech rights by the federal government’s executive branch in US history.”

    Michael P Senger

    One aspect of dictatorships that citizens of democratic nations often find puzzling is how the population can be convinced to support such dystopian policies. How do they get people to run those concentration camps? How do they find people to take food from starving villagers? How can they get so many people to support policies that, to any outsider, are so needlessly destructive, cruel, and dumb?

    The answer lies in forced preference falsification. When those who speak up in principled opposition to a dictator’s policies are punished and forced into silence, those with similar opinions are forced into silence as well, or even forced to pretend they support policies in which they do not actually believe. Emboldened by this facade of unanimity, supporters of the regime’s policies, or even those who did not previously have strong opinions, become convinced that the regime’s policies are just and good—regardless of what those policies actually are—and that those critical of them are even more deserving of punishment.

    SNIP

    Through this method of forced preference falsification, any mass of people can be made to support virtually any policy, no matter how destructive or inimical to the interests of the people. Avoiding this spiral of preference falsification is therefore why freedom of speech is such a central tenet of the Enlightenment, and why it is given such primacy in the First Amendment of the US Constitution. No regime in American history has ever previously had the power to force preference falsification by systematically and clandestinely silencing those critical of its policies

    .Until now. As it turns out, an astonishing new release of discovery documents in Missouri v. Biden—in which NCLA Legal is representing plaintiffs including Jay Bhattacharya, Martin Kulldorff, and Aaron Kheriaty against the Biden administration for violations of free speech during Covid—reveal a vast federal censorship army, with more than 50 federal officials across at least 11 federal agencies having secretly coordinated with social media companies to censor private speech.

    It is certainly not as bad as the pandemics that killed 90% of the indigenous peoples of North America, South America and the Caribbean.

  24. People think of going back to Africa as going back to the past when it should be about going towards the future. Africa may be 5, 10, or 15 years behind America in latest technology, but latest technology is outdated in 5, 10, 15 years anyway.


  25. Norte that Dr. Aseem Malhotrain seen in the video below is a cardiologist giving a speech on the topic “evidence based medicine has been hijacked”. His speech addresses his concerns that the hijacking of evidence based medicine negatively affects the treatment options offered to cardiac patients. However, it is interesting that hIs concerns about the hijacking of evidence based medicine as it relates to cardiology is very similar to the concerns expressed by other very experienced medical doctors and scientists who also allege a similar situation exists in relation to the controversies surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic and the authorized preventive measures and treatment options offered to the general public for preventing/treating Covid-19.

    About Dr. Aseem Malhotra, from the Youtube video description:

    Dr Aseem Malhotra is an NHS Trained Consultant Cardiologist, and visiting Professor of Evidence Based Medicine, Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health, Salvador, Brazil. He is a world renowned expert in the prevention, diagnosis and management of heart disease. He is honorary council member to the Metabolic Psychiatry Clinic at Stanford University school of medicine California, and is Cardiology MSc examiner at the University of Hertfordshire, UK. He is a founding member of Action on Sugar and was the lead campaigner highlighting the harm caused by excess sugar consumption in the United Kingdom, particularly its role in type 2 diabetes and obesity.

    In 2015 he helped co-ordinate the Choosing Wisely campaign by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges as lead author in a BMJ paper to highlight the risks of overuse of medical treatments. In the same year, he became the youngest member to be appointed to the board of trustees of UK health think tank, The King’s Fund that advises the government on health policy.

    I was making the point to SS that the Chinese got to the New World before the Europeans and could well have brought the diseases like smallpox.

    Did you know that smallpox originated in India and Egypt?

    True true fact …. atleast according to google.

    Even the pharaohs had it.

    Now if the pharaohs were in the Americas then what you are suggesting is that smallpox came to the Americas through Africans.

    “Smallpox is thought to have originated in India or Egypt at least 3,000 years ago. The earliest evidence for the disease comes from the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses V, who died in 1157 B.C. His mummified remains show telltale pockmarks on his skin.”

    So, if Rameses V, a pharaoh, visited the Americas when he was contagious, then maybe he took it over, not the Europeans.

    The Chinese also visited India and Egypt.

    You weren’t by any chance born under the Union Jack?


  27. Rigged: Pfizer Trial Hid Injuries, Maddie’s Story
    Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked

    September 10, 2022

    When Stephanie de Garay allowed her three children to sign up for Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot trial, she assumed the worst that could happen was anaphylactic shock — and in that case, they’d be treated with an EpiPen and be fine. From her daughter’s perspective, the trial was a way to keep up with a close friend who had already signed up for the trial.

    It also didn’t hurt that the trial offered monetary compensation of $119 per visit.1 This is what prompted all three of de Garay’s children to ultimately sign up for the COVID-19 shot trial, which changed the life of de Garay’s daughter Maddie. A healthy 12-year-old girl prior to the trial, Maddie loved to dance, play soccer and spend time with her friends.

    She suffered a severe systemic adverse reaction to her second dose of the shot, however, and struggled through 11 ER visits and four hospital admissions in the year and a half that followed. Injuries from the shot have left her unable to walk or eat — she receives her nutrition via a feeding tube — and suffering from constant pain, vision problems, tinnitus, allergic reactions and lack of neck control.2

    As though the physical trauma weren’t enough, Maddie and her family were continually dismissed by the medical professionals put in place to help, ignored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and denied the care needed to help Maddie.

    SNIP

    Maddie’s story is ongoing but, sadly, is only one of many cases of people being seriously injured or killed by COVID-19 shots and not being taken seriously — or outright discredited — by health care providers and health officials. However, there is hope — and it comes in the form of protecting your right to informed consent and the freedom to make your own medical choices. As Siri put it:24

    “The hope is that we make sure that we always have the choice to say no. As long as we can say no, that is the safeguard. That is the stopgap to all of this bad conduct. It’s not going to protect those who don’t know better to say no in certain situations, but it will protect those who do … There should be a lot of hope out there because COVID vaccine mandates have receded all across this country.

    Freedom of speech, the ability to have individual liberties. That is what will save us … The ability to become educated, to have access to information and to make informed decisions … the ability to say no about something, or a medical procedure, that we don’t want to have on our bodies or our children’s bodies.”

  28. Spin-off effect of vaccine hesitancy a concern
    As Barbados joins the rest of the world in rolling out its COVID-19 vaccination for children five to 11 years old, a development which is expected to be a major pillar in the return to normalcy of the education system. As was the case of the adult and adolescent vaccination programme, the issue of vaccine hesitancy is expected to factor.
    In this week’s Sunday Sun Q& A, Senior Multimedia Journalist Colville Mounsey speaks with the head of the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA), Dr Joy St John, to get a clearer picture of how the region has been faring in this endeavour.
    COVID-19 vaccines have been the subject of some controversy globally and the region has not been shielded from this debate. Is vaccine hesitancy more or less of an issue now that the issue has shifted to parents vaccinating their children under 12 years old?
    Vaccine hesitancy appears to be affecting non-COVID vaccines. So, for me, it is not an issue of more or less, it is the spin-off effect of that hesitancy that is now concerning me, especially as we are looking at children. Normally the Caribbean is known for its very high vaccine coverage among children and the vaccine hesitancy has done what I feared; it has started to affect vaccination against things like polio. We have become victims of our success; we have not seen a case of polio in the Caribbean in a long time, [and] we are so accustomed to the wonders of modern medicine that we are taking this for granted, not realising that the paralysis with polio is permanent.
    So, for me, the vaccine hesitancy is way too much, but the flip side of that is vaccine acceptance.
    Although we are seeing vaccine hesitancy among adults and young people, we are still seeing some parents more afraid of what COVID can do to a child and they are preferring to give vaccination a chance. Barbados has most recently started the vaccination of children, but paediatric COVID vaccines were circulating in the region a few months ago through a Spanish donation, and, from all reports, parents have made good use of
    that donation in the countries that took it up. So there has been vaccine acceptance and an understanding of the importance of vaccines because people have seen their relatives experience, not only acute COVID, but Long Covid.
    How does the medical community get over this hurdle?
    The medical community is made up of clinicians, practitioners who operate at the doctor/patient level, and then there are public health practitioners. What we are speaking about is occurring within the public health circles, so CARPHA has done vaccine acceptance surveys and right now we are working to understand some of the issues that are causing the hesitancy. We are working on communication campaigns; we have hired consultants with funding from the government of Canada, the government of Japan and USAID.
    This funding helps to develop communication campaigns that take the concerns into account and tell the adults, parents and children the truth about vaccinations. We have been tracking what has been happening with vaccination in the Caribbean and outside of the Caribbean; we have been tracking if there have been any adverse effects. I am pleased to say that the adverse effects following immunisation are very few, especially among children. We have decades of experience in immunising children and more recently for COVID-19 we have been tracking what has been happening with children outside of the Caribbean. So we are going to be telling them the truth and the science behind immunisation.
    COVID-19 vaccines for children are just being rolled out in Barbados. Where should the priority be placed?
    The other thing that the medical community can do is to understand the WHO [World Health Organisation] emergency use listing, which focuses on children who are at the high risk of getting the worst aspect of COVID illness if they are not immunised. So we are talking about those children with existing respiratory disease, cancer, anything that would weaken their immune system – [they] should be ones that are vaccinated. We need to understand that
    this is up to as young as five years of age.
    What are the recurring concerns raised by parents regarding vaccinating their children, and are these concerns based in sound medical judgement?
    As I said earlier, there were surveys conducted by CARPHA, as well as UNICEF and they have all reported that when asked if they would vaccinate their children, the majority of parents said not at the pre-primary or primary levels. So, they are not comfortable vaccinating children under 12 years of age because they think they are too young, and it is also a function of what vaccines are available. So they are concerned about myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart muscle – this is a fear around the vaccine that is available.
    On the other hand, parents are more likely to say yes to vaccinating a child of secondary school age, but the primary and pre-primary levels are where parents are most concerned. There are other parents who don’t have concerns and they are immunising their children.
    It is said that the risk of longterm damage from COVID is significantly lower in children, so why vaccinate, especially since the more recent variants of COVID are accompanied with milder symptoms?
    There is actually research on this subject matter and some of the studies have been done by Barbadians.
    What they found is that COVID-19 incidence and mortality in the region is consistent with the global estimates. Child and adolescent cases ranged from 0.6 per cent to 16.9 per cent.
    This compared with a global case rate of 20.2 per cent in 2021. By August 2021, there were 33 deaths among children from Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados.
    Respective case fatality rates from 0 to 9 and 10 to 19 years old were 2.8 and 0.7 in Haiti, 0.1 and 0.2 in Jamaica, 0 and 0.14 in Trinidad.
    To be honest, long COVID, which is defined as anything that lasts over 30 days, has not been very well researched overall around the world, and this goes for both adults and children. For the cases that we are aware of anecdotally, there are some people who have suffered with long COVID and even though they contracted the illness very early, they are still fighting issues. The issues range from brain fog, the development of diabetes, the development of heart diseases, hair loss and there are even some reported cases of people who develop psychiatric illness. It is as if COVID gets into the body and goes wherever it feels to go and some unlucky people can have those issues for a long time.
    What is the plan of action to tackle misinformation?
    In collaboration with our international development partners, CARPHA will enhance the regional public education campaign on immunisation against COVID-19.
    We are currently working with consultants, agencies and community groups to identify vaccine information gaps and develop innovative communication tools that would improve the public’s
    understanding of COVID-19 vaccines and the vaccination processes. We are especially targeting parents, women and their minor children with unique, fun and interactive messages that are based on the science. CARPHA will also design culturally and gendersensitive vaccination campaigns to counter misinformation and dispel rumours.

  29. Ferdinand: Slow going Doc hopes more children get jab if done at schools
    by RACHELLE AGARD rachelleagard@nationnews.com

    THERE HAS BEEN NO significant uptake in the Pfizer paediatric COVID-19 vaccines, but cocoordinator of the National Vaccination Programme Dr Elizabeth Ferdinand is hopeful once they can get into schools that will change.
    “There has been no significant increase over what we reported last week. They are still coming in little by little, with no big increase,” she reported to the DAILY NATION yesterday.
    While Ferdinand said they were still considering going into schools when they reopened next Monday, she said that was dependent on talks with the Ministry of Education.
    “I think we have to give them a week or so to settle. It’s going to be hectic the first and second weeks and then after that we will look to see if we can go into the schools. We have to have dialogue with the Ministry of Education,” she said.
    Ferdinand said one of the reasons for the decline in paediatric vaccines might be attributed to parents not seeing a need for them right now, but she said she encouraged parents to get their children vaccinated.
    “Life is going back to normal now with full school and full work resuming, certain restrictions have been reduced, so the population has sort of accepted it moving forward and that is probably why the parents are a little hesitant to rush forward in getting them done because maybe they don’t see the need.
    “But there is a need really, people are still dying, although it is the older people, but it is the younger people who are giving it to the older people. That’s why we want to try and give it to the younger people so that they would not pass it on to the others, so all I can do is encourage the parents to bring their children to be vaccinated and hopefully we will come out on top,” she said.
    Three weeks ago, the Barbados Government received a gift of 14 400 Pfizer paediatric vaccines, a double-dose regime with boosters as appropriate, from the United Kingdom government at the Grantley Adams International Airport.
    Minister of Education Kay McConney, during a press conference on Saturday, said they had plans in place to deal with any spikes of the virus in schools following the resumption of full face-to-face classes next Monday.
    “We continue to reiterate that our partner is the Ministry of Health and Wellness and in the event that there is such a spike, our first option will be to ensure that we consult with our main partner, and take advice and take lead from them, and then to ensure we discuss with some of our other educational partners what has come out of that discussion and make a decision based on the facts at the time.
    “One of the things that we have reiterated is that the protocols are what they are now. However, they are constantly being monitored and being re-evaluated and we are very open to reviewing. Our first interest is that we create the right kind of environment for learning and for instruction. In the event we believe that that is threatened significantly, and that the ability of our students to learn in a safe environment is in fact something that is being compromised,
    we will take the necessary decisions,” she said.

    Peak of the Hurricane season which so far has spared us.

    We had serious rain in the early hours of this morning, 92 parts up by me and 1 to 2 inches in various parts of the island and we are on Flash Flood Watch.

    For the past few years, the large pond bottom has been full by the end of September but last time I checked, it was dry.

    We may not have had enough rain to cause the flooding associated with rises in COVID cases, but we will know in a few weeks.
