England Suffers 1 Million Covid Vaccine Deaths in Just 2 Years

Thoughts:  England Suffers 1 Million Covid Vaccine Deaths in Just 2 Years

Hunter FieldingFebruary 15, 20242 Comments

Alarming new official data from the UK government shows that England has suffered a staggering one million deaths from Covid mRNA vaccines in just two years.

The vaccinated population in England has suffered an excessive number of deaths compared to the unvaccinated population.

According to the UK Government department known as the UK Health Agency (UKHSA), by 3rd July 2022, 18.9 million people had refused the first dose of the COVID-19 injection, 21.5 million people had refused the 2nd dose of the COVID-19 injection, alongside 2.6 million people who had received the first dose but refused the second, and 30.4 million people had refused the third dose of the Covid-19 injection alongside 8.9 million people who had received the second dose but refused the third.

According to the UKHSA’s figures, 63.4 million people were eligible for vaccination at this point.

Therefore, 18.9 million people refused the COVID-19 vaccine in England and remained completely unvaccinated.

But on top of this, a further 2.6 million refused a second dose, meaning 21.5 million people were not double vaccinated, and 8.9 million people refused a third dose, meaning 30.4 million people were not triple vaccinated.

In July 2022, thirty per cent of the population of England remained completely unvaccinated. 34% of the population of England were not double vaccinated, and 50% of the population were not triple vaccinated.

However, as is shown in the following chart, the vaccinated population as a whole accounted for 95% of all COVID-19 deaths between January and May 2023, while the unvaccinated population accounted for just 5%.

But it’s the fact that these deaths aren’t among the one-dose and two-dose vaccinated population that is truly horrifying.

The vast majority are among the 4x vaccinated, with this population accounting for 80% of all COVID-19 deaths, and 83% of all COVID-19 deaths among the vaccinated.

So with that being said, the following figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in their ‘Deaths by Vaccination Status’ dataset, which can be found on the ONS website here, or downloaded here make for even more horrifying reading.

The following graphs show all-cause deaths by vaccination status between July 1st 2021 and May 31st 2023 by age group.

Each graph can be expanded by clicking on it to see the figures more clearly.

The unvaccinated deaths are shown first in each age group and the vaccinated deaths are shown next in each age group.

What’s extremely concerning about these official figures is that the vaccinated surpass the unvaccinated by far in terms of death in every single age group since July 2021, despite the fact 30% of the population have not even had a COVID-19 injection.

So much so, that there were 965,609 deaths among the vaccinated compared to just 60,903 deaths among the unvaccinated between July 2021 and May 2023.

This means there was a grand total of 1,026,512 deaths in England during this period and the vaccinated accounted for 94% of them, whereas the unvaccinated accounted for just 6% of them.

This more suggests that the Covid-19 injections are deadly, and prove that they are killing people.

And we can be certain that COVID-19 Vaccination greatly increases mortality.

ChatGPT

The information presented seems to be inaccurate and misleading. It's important to note that I cannot verify real-time data or the specific claims made in this text, but as of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there was no credible evidence supporting the idea that COVID-19 vaccines were causing a significant number of deaths.

The safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines are closely monitored by health organizations worldwide. Vaccines undergo rigorous testing in clinical trials before approval, and post-marketing surveillance continues to ensure ongoing safety. Misinterpretation of data or selective reporting can lead to false conclusions.

It's crucial to rely on information from reputable sources such as public health agencies, medical journals, and scientific studies. If there were genuine concerns about vaccine safety, it would be thoroughly investigated by health authorities.

If there have been updates or changes in the situation since my last knowledge update, I recommend checking with reliable and up-to-date sources for the latest information on COVID-19 vaccine safety and any related statistics.

User

In what was is it misleading?  You have a perfect control group (vaccine refusers)?

ChatGPT

While the text mentions a control group (those who refused the vaccine) and presents data on deaths among vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, there are several issues with the analysis and interpretation of the data:

Causation vs. Correlation: The data presented doesn't establish a causal relationship between vaccination and deaths. Correlation alone doesn't imply causation. Other factors, such as age, underlying health conditions, and exposure to the virus, can influence outcomes.

Cherry-Picking Data: The presented data focuses on specific age groups and time periods, which may be chosen selectively to support a particular narrative. A comprehensive analysis would consider a broader range of demographics and timeframes.

Confounding Variables: The text doesn't account for potential confounding variables, such as the overall COVID-19 infection rates, prevalence of variants, and the timing of vaccine rollout. Without considering these factors, it's challenging to attribute differences in outcomes solely to vaccination status.

Data Source Reliability: The text refers to the "UK Health Agency (UKHSA)" and the "Office for National Statistics (ONS)," but without direct citations or access to the specific datasets, it's challenging to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the information.

Lack of Peer Review: The claims made in the text don't seem to be supported by peer-reviewed scientific studies. Valid scientific research undergoes a rigorous peer-review process before publication to ensure accuracy and reliability.

It's important to approach such claims with skepticism and rely on information from reputable health organizations and peer-reviewed studies for a comprehensive understanding of vaccine safety and effectiveness. Public health decisions should be based on a thorough and unbiased evaluation of scientific evidence. If there were credible concerns about vaccine safety, it would be thoroughly investigated by health authorities.

User

You must be joking?  The Causation vs. Correlation ship has sailed by virtue of the sheer sample size!

ChatGPT

Even with a large sample size, establishing causation requires a rigorous analysis that considers various factors. While a large sample size can provide statistical power, it does not inherently address confounding variables or establish a direct causal link.

Here are some considerations:

Confounding Variables: Large sample sizes alone cannot eliminate the impact of confounding variables. Factors like age, underlying health conditions, and exposure to the virus can still influence outcomes. A robust statistical analysis that controls for these variables is essential to draw meaningful conclusions.

Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): The gold standard for establishing causation is a randomized controlled trial where participants are randomly assigned to receive the vaccine or a placebo. This design helps control for confounding factors and provides a more reliable basis for establishing causation.

Peer Review: The scientific community relies on peer-reviewed studies to ensure the validity of research findings. If the data presented has not undergone this rigorous process, it may lack the scrutiny necessary for drawing definitive conclusions.

Temporal Relationship: Establishing a temporal relationship between vaccination and adverse events is not sufficient to prove causation. Other factors may coincide with vaccination, and a thorough analysis is needed to attribute outcomes specifically to the vaccine.

While large sample sizes are valuable for statistical power, they do not replace the need for a comprehensive and well-controlled analysis. Public health decisions should be based on robust scientific evidence derived from rigorous research methodologies. If there are genuine concerns about vaccine safety, they should be thoroughly investigated by relevant health authorities and validated through scientific peer review.

What would you do to prove causation?

ChatGPT

Proving causation is a complex task in scientific research and typically involves a combination of study design, statistical analysis, and consideration of alternative explanations. Here are some key steps and considerations that researchers take to establish causation:

Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): RCTs are considered the gold standard for establishing causation. In an RCT, participants are randomly assigned to either a treatment group (exposed to the intervention, such as a vaccine) or a control group (not exposed). Randomization helps control for confounding variables, allowing researchers to attribute observed effects directly to the intervention.

Controlled Experimental Design: In observational studies where randomization is not feasible, researchers aim to control for potential confounding variables through study design and statistical methods. This may involve matching participants on relevant characteristics or using statistical techniques such as propensity score matching.

Temporal Relationship: Establishing a temporal relationship between the exposure and the outcome is an important criterion. However, mere temporal association is not sufficient for proving causation, as other factors may be coincident with the exposure.

Dose-Response Relationship: A dose-response relationship, where increasing the dose or intensity of the exposure correlates with a corresponding change in the outcome, can strengthen the case for causation. This supports the idea that there is a direct relationship between the exposure and the observed effect.

Consistency of Findings: Consistent results across multiple studies and populations provide stronger evidence for causation. If different studies with varied methodologies consistently show similar outcomes, it adds credibility to the causal link.

Biological Plausibility: A plausible biological mechanism linking the exposure to the observed effect strengthens the case for causation. Understanding how the intervention could lead to the observed outcomes adds credibility to the causal relationship.

Elimination of Alternative Explanations: Researchers need to consider and rule out alternative explanations for the observed effects. This involves careful consideration of confounding variables and potential biases that could influence the results.

Peer Review and Replication: Peer-reviewed studies undergo scrutiny from experts in the field. Replication of findings by independent research groups strengthens the reliability of the evidence.

It's important to note that proving causation is a high standard, and in some cases, causation may be challenging to establish definitively. Public health decisions are often based on a preponderance of evidence, taking into account multiple studies and lines of reasoning.

User

Ha!  So you know what causation 'isn't' but can't explain what it 'is!'  You made me laugh out loud this time!

ChatGPT

I apologize if my previous responses caused confusion or amusement. Causation, in a scientific context, refers to a cause-and-effect relationship between an intervention or exposure and a subsequent outcome. While proving causation can be challenging and often involves a combination of study design, statistical analysis, and consideration of alternative explanations, it essentially means demonstrating that a particular factor is responsible for a observed change or effect.

To simplify, causation is typically demonstrated through well-designed studies, where changes in an outcome can be attributed directly to a specific intervention or exposure, and alternative explanations are ruled out. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are often considered the most robust method for establishing causation, as they involve random assignment of participants to treatment and control groups, helping to control for confounding variables.

I appreciate your feedback, and if you have further questions or if there's a specific aspect you'd like more clarification on, feel free to let me know!

User

If you are so expert in cause effect relationships, you should have no trouble explaining to me how one would go about proving vaccines killed large swaths of the population!

ChatGPT

Establishing a claim that vaccines have caused significant harm or resulted in the deaths of large populations would require rigorous scientific investigation and evidence. It's crucial to emphasize that as of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there is no credible scientific evidence supporting the notion that COVID-19 vaccines are causing widespread deaths.

However, if someone were to genuinely investigate such a claim, they would need to follow scientific principles, including:

Conduct Rigorous Studies: Researchers would need to design and conduct well-controlled studies, preferably randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or large observational studies, to assess the safety and efficacy of vaccines. These studies should involve diverse populations and account for potential confounding factors.

Collect and Analyze Data: Accurate and detailed data on adverse events and deaths would need to be collected. This should include information on vaccination status, demographics, pre-existing health conditions, and potential alternative explanations for adverse outcomes.

Peer Review: The findings of any study claiming a causal link between vaccines and deaths would need to undergo rigorous peer review by independent experts in the field. Peer review helps ensure the scientific validity and reliability of the research.

Transparency and Reproducibility: The research process and findings should be transparent and open to scrutiny. Other researchers should be able to reproduce the study to validate the results independently.

Biological Plausibility: A plausible biological mechanism linking the vaccine to the reported adverse outcomes would strengthen the argument for causation. Understanding how the vaccine could lead to the observed effects is essential.

It's important to note that any claims suggesting vaccines are causing widespread harm need to be treated with extreme caution. The overwhelming majority of scientific evidence supports the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, and any concerns should be thoroughly investigated by credible health organizations and researchers. Public health decisions are based on a comprehensive evaluation of scientific evidence and are not determined by isolated or unverified claims.

User

Reproducibility?  You can only kill people once?

ChatGPT

Reproducibility in scientific research typically refers to the ability of different researchers, using independent methods and datasets, to obtain similar results when studying the same phenomenon. It doesn't imply replicating harmful events but rather replicating studies to verify their findings.

When investigating health-related outcomes, especially those involving adverse events or deaths, the idea of reproducibility is related to conducting multiple studies by different research groups to see if they arrive at similar conclusions. In the context of vaccine safety, if one study were to claim a causal link between vaccines and widespread harm or deaths, other research groups should be able to independently conduct studies to either confirm or refute those findings.

However, it's important to highlight that promoting or conducting studies with the intent to demonstrate harm from vaccines without valid scientific basis can have serious ethical implications. Responsible and ethical research aims to enhance our understanding of health outcomes and improve public health.

The overwhelming consensus within the scientific and medical communities is that vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, have been shown to be safe and effective through rigorous testing and ongoing monitoring. Any claims to the contrary should be approached with skepticism and should be thoroughly scrutinized by experts in the field. Public health decisions are based on the preponderance of evidence from well-conducted and reputable studies.

Safe and effective for everyone but the one million?

ChatGPT

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there is no credible scientific evidence supporting the claim that COVID-19 vaccines have caused the deaths of one million people. It's important to rely on information from reputable health organizations and peer-reviewed studies for accurate and up-to-date information.

The safety and effectiveness of vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, are assessed through rigorous testing in clinical trials before approval. Additionally, post-marketing surveillance is conducted to monitor vaccine safety once they are administered to the general population.

If there were genuine concerns about vaccine safety resulting in significant harm, health authorities and regulatory bodies would thoroughly investigate the matter. Decisions about vaccine safety are made based on a comprehensive evaluation of scientific evidence, and any claims suggesting harm should be critically examined by experts in the field.

If there have been updates or changes in the situation since my last knowledge update, I recommend checking with reliable and up-to-date sources, such as public health agencies and reputable medical journals, for the latest information on COVID-19 vaccine safety and any related statistics.

So let's just assume you did have access and the data matches the article's summary, then what?

ChatGPT

If, hypothetically, the data provided in the article summary is accurate and matches the claims made, it would be a matter of significant concern. Such information would prompt a thorough and urgent investigation by health authorities, regulatory bodies, and independent researchers to understand the circumstances surrounding the reported deaths.

In such a scenario, the following steps would likely be taken:

Verification and Review: Independent researchers and health agencies would carefully review the data, including the study design, methodology, and statistical analysis, to ensure its accuracy and reliability.

Causality Assessment: The researchers would investigate the causal relationship between vaccination and reported deaths. This involves considering confounding variables, alternative explanations, and potential biases that could influence the results.

Public Health Response: If a credible and significant link between vaccination and adverse outcomes is established, public health authorities would take appropriate action. This could involve adjusting vaccination recommendations, issuing warnings, or even considering the suspension of the vaccine in question.

Communication: Transparent communication with the public is crucial. Authorities would need to provide clear and accurate information about the findings, potential risks, and any changes to vaccination recommendations.

It's important to note that such a scenario is highly unlikely given the extensive safety monitoring systems in place for vaccines. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, COVID-19 vaccines had undergone rigorous testing and were shown to be safe and effective in preventing severe illness and death from COVID-19. Any claims of significant harm would need to be thoroughly investigated by the relevant health authorities and validated through the scientific peer-review process.

Well, someone is to blame?

ChatGPT

When addressing complex issues such as adverse events related to vaccines, it's crucial to approach the investigation with a focus on evidence, scientific inquiry, and adherence to established processes. Blaming individuals or groups without robust evidence and a thorough understanding of the situation can lead to misinformation and potential harm.

If there are concerns about adverse events related to vaccines, the following steps are typically taken:

Thorough Investigation: Health authorities and regulatory bodies conduct thorough investigations to understand the circumstances surrounding reported adverse events. This includes analyzing data, considering confounding factors, and assessing the overall safety profile of the vaccine.

Causality Assessment: Scientists and researchers assess the causality between vaccination and reported adverse events. This involves considering alternative explanations and determining whether there is a direct link.

Transparency and Communication: Findings are communicated transparently to the public, healthcare providers, and relevant stakeholders. Clear information about potential risks and benefits is provided to enable informed decision-making.

Continuous Monitoring: Vaccine safety monitoring is an ongoing process. Even after a vaccine is authorized, continuous monitoring helps detect rare or long-term adverse events that may not have been evident in initial clinical trials.

Blame should be assigned based on credible evidence and adherence to due process. It's important to avoid scapegoating or making unfounded accusations that can contribute to misinformation and erode public trust in vaccination efforts. Responsible reporting, transparent communication, and a commitment to scientific inquiry are essential elements of addressing vaccine safety concerns.

Were the Nuremberg trials a mistake?

ChatGPT

The Nuremberg Trials, held from 1945 to 1949, were a series of military tribunals that aimed to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for war crimes, crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity committed during World War II. The trials were conducted by the Allied powers, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and France.

The Nuremberg Trials were significant for establishing the principles of individual accountability for war crimes and the concept that "just following orders" is not a valid defense for committing atrocities. They laid the groundwork for the development of international law related to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

While some criticized the trials for being victor's justice, arguing that the Allies were applying standards to defeated enemies that they did not necessarily follow themselves, many view the Nuremberg Trials as a crucial step in the development of modern international criminal law. The trials set important precedents and contributed to the establishment of the principles that would later be enshrined in documents such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Genocide Convention.

However, opinions on the Nuremberg Trials can vary, and debates continue about the effectiveness and fairness of the process. Some argue that alternative approaches, such as reconciliation and forgiveness, might have been more appropriate, while others emphasize the need for accountability and justice in the face of heinous crimes. Overall, whether the Nuremberg Trials were a mistake is subjective and depends on one's perspective on justice, accountability, and the aftermath of war.

User

So civil trials would have been less barbaric?  perhaps some stiff fines and community service would have been more inclusive, productive and sustainable?

ChatGPT

The choice of how to handle the aftermath of World War II, particularly the prosecution of war criminals, was a complex and contentious matter. The Allies opted for a military tribunal approach with the Nuremberg Trials, primarily to hold individuals accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The trials were designed to establish a legal precedent for the prosecution of individuals responsible for planning and committing atrocities, emphasizing the principle that individuals are accountable for their actions, even in times of war.

Advocates of the Nuremberg Trials argue that the severity of the crimes committed by Nazi leaders warranted a strong and principled response. They believe that the trials helped establish the foundations of modern international law, emphasizing the importance of individual responsibility and the protection of human rights.

However, critics argue that the trials were selective and influenced by the victors, potentially setting a precedent that could be perceived as victor's justice. Some suggest that alternative approaches, such as truth and reconciliation commissions or other forms of restorative justice, might have been more inclusive and focused on healing societies.

The question of whether civil trials, with fines and community service, would have been more effective, inclusive, or sustainable is subjective and depends on one's perspective on justice and the specific historical context. The Nuremberg Trials were a product of their time and the perceived need for a strong response to heinous crimes. In contemporary discussions on justice and accountability, there is ongoing debate about the most effective and fair mechanisms for addressing war crimes and human rights violations.

User

So in hindsight, barbaric?

ChatGPT

The term "barbaric" is subjective and value-laden, and opinions on the Nuremberg Trials may vary. From a historical perspective, the Nuremberg Trials were groundbreaking in establishing the principles of individual accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity. They sought to address the atrocities committed during World War II and set important precedents for the development of international law.

However, criticisms have been raised, including concerns about the selective nature of the trials, potential bias from the victors, and debates over the effectiveness and fairness of the process. Some argue that the trials represented a departure from established legal norms, while others maintain that the severity of the crimes justified the strong response.

In the context of the time and the unprecedented nature of the crimes committed by Nazi leaders, many saw the Nuremberg Trials as a necessary and justifiable effort to hold individuals accountable for their actions. Whether one considers them "barbaric" depends on individual perspectives on justice, legal principles, and the exigencies of the post-World War II era.

User

So without Nuremberg, we would arguably be less 'just' today?

ChatGPT

The Nuremberg Trials played a crucial role in shaping the development of modern international law and establishing principles that have influenced subsequent efforts to address war crimes and crimes against humanity. The trials were significant in holding individuals accountable for their actions, even at the highest levels of government, and in establishing the idea that certain acts are so egregious that they constitute crimes under international law.

Without the Nuremberg Trials, it is possible that the international community might have taken a different path in addressing war crimes and atrocities. The trials set important legal precedents, including the recognition of crimes against humanity and the principle that individuals could be held accountable for such crimes. These principles have been enshrined in subsequent international legal instruments and have influenced the creation of institutions like the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The Nuremberg Trials helped establish a framework for dealing with individuals responsible for mass atrocities, and their legacy continues to shape discussions on justice, accountability, and human rights in the context of armed conflicts. While the trials were not without controversy, many argue that they played a vital role in fostering a commitment to justice and the protection of human rights in the post-World War II era.
