"Oh what a tangled web we weave when at first we start to deceive." - Walter Scott
Today, deception has been elevated to an art form. Daily, we are bombard by lies, on their surface so patently absurd, but they keep on coming. Of course, the purpose of the lies are to deceive us. The purveyors of deception are playing us for fools. Here’s a few circulating, some obvious, others not so much.
Inflation is a good thing.
Really? First the spin was that it will be transitory. Now that lie has been put to bed so the new spin is that it’s a good thing because it means the economy is growing. I know that we can “turn lemons into lemonade”, but according to that logic, 2019 should have had terrible inflation.
The U.S. economy in 2019 was the most robust in 50 years and yet, look at where inflation was according to data from U.S. Inflation Calculator. In fact, for 10 years, we’ve had very low inflation until 2021. You think high energy has had something to do with it?
In 2019 average fuel price in Western Australia, where I live it was $1.33 a litre, today it is $1.69 ($4.62 U.S. Gallon). That is a 27% increase. Those costs are passed on.
There is a very good reason this has happened: shutting the construction of a major pipeline in America, stifling drilling in many U.S. Public lands and generally taking an anti-fossil fuel stance is driving up inflation.
No, inflation is bad news because it’s in effect, an additional tax.
Spending $3.5 trillion won’t cost anything
This one is a whopper. President Biden actually uttered this line.
We know Biden is mentally challenged and at times is incoherent. He reads what his backers tell him to say. That is even worse that they are spouting off such drivel. Of course, the spending won’t cost them anything. They just have to get the Central Bank to print and borrow money. Easy done.
We needed booster shots every six months.
This may be the biggest deception of all. Weren’t we told the vaccines were 95% effective? This fib was spoken by Fauci.
The reality is the vaccines haven’t worked so its on to the next deception; boosters and shots for the kids.
Rule of thumb: If you see Fauci about to come to the microphone, run away as far as you can!
The Vaccines Are Safe
They are so safe that 11 Australian health care workers have taken upon themselves to speak out about the vaccine side effects, while incognito on the site, Covid World. They were told not to speak out about it. Many of these people cannot go on working in an area in which the health and welfare of the public is put at risk by what they consider very dangerous products
Pfizer Vaccine Is 95% Effective
From early on when the vaccines were introduced, we were told that Pfizer was 95% effective in preventing Covid. This may not be so easy to pick up on for its flagrant deception however, looking at the stats, it’s easy to see.
Pay close attention to the highlighted row.
The initial Pfizer trial had 18,198 people receiving the injection while 18,325 were the control group who didn’t receive a shot.
Out of those receiving the jab, 8 got Covid while for the control group 162 got it. So if you compare the two figures, the vaccinated group had 95% lower Relative Risk Reduction. We’re comparing the 162 against the 8. (162-8 = 154/162 x 100 = 95%).
However, what we really need to compare is what per cent is 8 out of 18,198 versus what 162 is out of 18,325. This comes out to .88% versus .04%. The difference gives a figure of 0.84% which is Absolute Risk Reduction. So you need to jab over 100 people to get 1 case less of Covid. That is the true effectiveness of Pfizer. Why would you bother?
In the trial, looking at the deaths and causes there is something going on which was apparently hidden from the public. Look at the heart deaths; they were five times more in the vaccinated group than the control.
How the FDA approved the vaccines based on the trial figures is beyond belief. There is no limit to the deception at work. This is the world of 2021 and likely for some time to come.
Thank you for posting Supplementary table 1 and the accompanying calculations of relative risk vs absolute risk. I've seen it talked about other places WRT COVID19 vax effectiveness, but nobody else bothered to show the math to highlight how it really works. 0.84% absolute risk reduction. With the vaccines, the harm would almost certainly approach that of the benefit. What a travesty.
Thanks Vic.
