Quebec And Vaccines: How To Lie With Statistics

An internal email from the QMJHL leaked showed the league is making the vaccine mandatory for all players and staff. The assistant to the commissioner - Lavallee (I forget his first name) - made a remarkably ignorant statement to justify the measure. He said the low numbers prove the vaccines worked. Ergo, let's dive into it.

That's not true. 

And there's a simple way to prove this.

June 19 2020 - 167 cases.

June 19 2021 - 160 cases.

This statistic shows a couple of things. First, the virus was already seasonal at that point on its way to becoming endemic. 

Second, that's a 'savings' of a whopping seven cases. #safeandeffective; #getthejab; #pfizermodernaawesome.

We had no mask mandates and were emerging from illegal lockdowns to 'flatten the curve' in 2020.

In 2021, we were emerging from some of the most restrictive measures found on the continent and with 75% of people vaccinated.

Seven.

Sort of corroborates with the study in The Lancet showing the ARR to be anywhere betweenn 1.2%-2.5%. That is, it's not 95% effective (which was the relative risk reduction rate) but 2% in the absolute.

Lies. All of it.

I would challenge anyone who makes this irresponsible and factually incorrect statement. Like we did with the curfew and masks, we're misapplying causation and correlation.

The virus is here to stay and it's seasonal. They all but tell you that because they're lying to your faces. They should be forthright and honest telling the people to prepare to live with it like we do the flu.

They can push all they want but not even 100% vaccinated people will end this. 

That's why we never did it with influenza I reckon. Too many variants and strains make it difficult. Even more so with coronaviruses. So why in the world would you consent to being herded and manipulated in this manner with a virus with a very high survival rate and a vaccine that now is the king of adverse events in vaccine history?
