One of the BEST things to come out of all this mess is just how many regular writers and citizens have figured out govt data and statistics and how it is false- and that they make shit up in summaries and press releases.

Now look at the Massachusetts raw data from January 6, 2022:

https://www.mass.gov/info-details/archive-of-covid-19-vaccination-reports#january-2022-

Click on "Weekly COVID-19 Municipality Vaccination Report – January 6, 2022"

Now open the Excel file, and click on the tab "Age --- municipality"

Look that the very first city of Barnstable.

It says:

  • the 65-74 population of Barnstable is 7,032, but the number vaccinated with at least one does is 7,340
  • the 75_ population of Barnstable is 4,798, but the number vaccinated with at least one dose is 5,206

Of the 3,035 entries in this spreadsheet, a full 825 (over 27%) have a higher value for vaccinated with at least one dose than for the entire population!

Now, click on the tab "Race and Ethnicity --- municipality"

Look that the very first city of Barnstable.

It says that the Hispanic population of Barnstable is 2,644, but the number vaccinated with at least one dose is 2,856!

Now check out Brewster. It says that the Black population of Brewster is 97, but the number vaccinated with at least one dose is 128!

Do any of these published data strike you as reliable?

And of course they left clues as to what they were doing on a weekly basis. They were doing God's work by overestimating all of these vaccination rates!

good lord...

Once might be an accident. Twice raises eyebrows. Thrice? Forget thrice. That excel sheet had 800+ instances of vaccinated population count exceeding overall population count in the "Age - municipality" sheet.

Some other nuggets from that data:

  • Multiple towns called "Unspecified" also have anywhere from 4,500 to 270,000 vaccinated vs. a population of nil.

  • The population counts include fractions of a person.

  • There's a town called "Great Barrington".

The source is LA County's own official vaccination dashboard.

Just go there and click on the choice "Seniors 65+ yrs".

This is what you will see.

The graph for just Seniors 65+ years clearly reads:

  • Total population: 1.37 million
  • with 1+ doses: 1.39 million
  • with 1+ bivalent dose: 564K (41%)
  • up to date: 276K (20%, well now up to 21%)

On the bright side, even in LA, even among seniors, only 21% still believe in Big Pharma's latest scam.

In San Francisco, official city data show that over 100% of Bayview/Hunters Point residents have completed the primary series of two vaccination.

San Francisco neighborhood data.

Check out the very first row:

Bayview Hunters Point -- total acs_population = 38,480 count_series_completed = 38,547

So more the number of people who got 2 doses is greater than the total population?

Note that the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood is one of blackest, poorest, and youngest neighborhoods in SF. Hmmmm. So how far off do the think the city's official higher than 100% officially reported vaccination rate is?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayview%E2%80%93Hunters_Point,_San_Francisco

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Bayview–Hunters Point had the highest percentage of African-Americans among San Francisco neighborhoods, home to 21.5% of the city's Black population, and they were the predominant ethnic group in the Bayview. Census figures showed the percentage of African-Americans in Bayview declined from 48% in 2000 to 33.7% in 2010, while the percentage of Asian and White ethnicity increased from 24% and 10%, respectively, to 30.7% and 12.1%. However the eastern part of the neighborhood had a population of 12,308 and is still roughly 53% African-American.

A recent Brookings Institution report identified Hunters Point as one of five Bay Area "extreme poverty" neighborhoods, in which over 40% of the inhabitants live below the Federal poverty level of an income of $22,300 for a family of four.[45] Nearly 12% of the population in the Bayview receives public assistance income, three times the national average, and more than double the state average. While the Bayview has a higher percentage of the population receiving either Social Security or retirement income than the state or national averages, the dollar amounts that these people receive is less than the averages in either the state or the nation.

What purposefully underestimating actual populations and counting undocumented people as vaccinated does is ruin all population-based statistics that have ever been published purporting to show that "unvaccinated people are X times more likely" to get COVID, be hospitalized with COVID, or die from COVID (or other any other cause).

Garbage denominators in:

  • huge overestimates of achieved vaccination rates by the very institutions tasked with making them as high as possible

  • huge underestimates of entire populations so that unvaccinated populations (which are calculated by subtracting the often over 100% vaccinated population estimates from the purposefully underestimated total population estimates)

and garbage data out.
