The Sunday Ishmael: 02/07/2023

 Scotland: Drunkest part of England.
Orkney: Drunkest part of Scotland
The alcohol-related admissions rate to hospital in Scotland is 621.3 per 100,000.
Those Scottish drinkers are clearly not trying. Now, in Orkney, we really put our back into it. Kirkwall, the capital city, and surrounding area, has an admission rate of 760.5 people per 100,000. 
Quoted in The Orcadian,  Dr. Kirsty Cole said that health professionals were aware of the impact of emergency hospital alcohol-related admissions, putting individuals at risk of developing dependence, cancers, psychiatric and mental health problems and dementia. The same paper reported the "huge increase" in numbers of Orcadians experiencing severe mental health distress and needing to be transferred from the local hospital to the Royal Cornhill Hospital, Aberdeen, the specialist centre in the North East of Scotland for mental health problems.
Then there's the appearances before the Sheriff's Court. Week after week, The Orcadian's Court pages report the painful and doomed love-lives of Orkney's drunkards and their colourful, short-lived driving careers. Most cars in Orkney seem to be driven by women, with their banned partners sitting in the passenger seat. 
Here's this week's examples:  
a trial date has been set for a 27 year old man charged with repeatedly punching and biting his partner on her body, to her injury; a 41 year old man was caught driving with four times over the legal limit of alcohol at lunchtime after being refused service at Tesco where he tried to buy more alcohol - his car was impounded and sold on the order of the court and through his solicitor he said he was sorry and had reduced his alcohol consumption from two bottles of rum per day to two every week; a 22 year old man pleaded guilty to engaging in a drunken brawl; three men in their 20's engaged in a car chase through Kirkwall's town centre, overtook the other car and screeched to a stop, throwing plastic bottles at it and shouting at the driver to get out and fight them; a 76 year old man has had a trial date set for an incident in which he was driving 5 times over the legal limit, lost control of the car, which crashed through the fence and became airborne before landing in an adjacent field. Last week saw the trial of a 21 year old, charged with driving whilst incredibly drunk around the unpoliced island of Hoy, with his teenage friend, at 1.50 a.m., leaving the road, flying through the air over a ditch and an unclassified road before crashing into a garden wall where it became wedged between a shed and a polytunnel. The householder, pausing only to don his slippers, hurried to the scene, where he found the teenager taking a piss on his polytunnel. The Court found the teenager to have been the actual driver. I remember one young man, thwarted in love, his girlfriend having dashed into a wardrobe to escape his drunken embrace, who dealt with the situation by pushing over the wardrobe to her injury.
Now, Orkney does seem to be a strong contender for mr ishmael's award category of:  Jock, poor and  angry, malnourished and inebriate, cross-dressing, wife-beating, ginger tribesmen, but I daresay similar stories could be found in any local paper in the U.K. The thing is, how can the NHS be expected to shore up the consequences of determined self-neglect by a godless, drunken, obese and drug-addicted population, determined to sit on their airses imbibing cruelty T.V. whilst pondering the deep philosophical issue of whether they are male or female? 

Sunak has set out a workforce plan for the NHS which doesn't address pay,  in the teeth of strike action by all grades in the NHS for improved pay. Not that I blame him. They already earn more than enough. Junior doctors in their foundation year (just starting) earn £14 per hour. Not bad for a trainee. A friend of mine in her fifties was recently very excited about securing a temporary post at the rate of £15 per hour. The strikers want to restore pay to the purchasing power it had last century, and, while they are at it, doubtless want to restore the deference accorded to Sir Lancelot Spratt:

In response, our Prime Minister, Richie Sunak, who personally has no financial need whatsoever to call on the services of the NHS, has
promised £2.4bn over the next five years. (I know, a Tory promise) to achieve the following targets:
  • doubling medical school places for student doctors to 15,000 a year
  • a 50% increase in GP trainee places for junior doctors from 4,000 to 6,000
  • 24,000 more nurse and midwife student places a year - close to double the number now
  • doubling training places for nursing associates to more than 10,000 by 2031
  • increasing training places for physician associates to 10,000 by 2036
Talk and promises are cheap enough, I guess, especially as the Tories won't be in power to implement these measures. Where are the people to come from to take up all these places? The NHS has over-promised - it attempts to cure matters that are, essentially, sicknesses of the soul, and there isn't enough money nor enough people to do it. Time for being a little more open about rationing and about excluding treatment for certain "conditions". Here's an example - a  30 year old, very distant female relative-by-marriage, a  single virgin, has received IVF treatment. 
Then there's all those people busy digging their own graves with their knives and forks and looking at the world through the bottom of a beer glass. Diabetes is the biggest problem of the developed world. And it is increasing exponentially. There are at least three types of diabetes:
Type 1 is an auto-immune condition. Absolute insulin deficiency results from autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Without insulin replacement, people with type 1 diabetes would die within days or weeks. Type 1 has massively increased worldwide, up 27% on pre-Covid levels. No doubt mr ultrapox will link this to the vaccine, but it could be a consequence of keeping our kids too clean, so that their immune systems can no longer recognise the alien invaders they should be attacking and therefore turn on their own pancreas. Less showering and more making of  mud pies might help. It could also be a consequence of isolation, with kids not sharing their germs, again blinding their immune systems. 
Type 2  stops the body from using insulin properly, which can lead to high levels of blood sugar if not treated. Having too much body mass for the amount of insulin your pancreas can churn out  and/or eating too much simple carbohydrate will cause it. Over time, type 2 diabetes can cause serious damage to the body, especially nerves and blood vessels. It is preventable by improving diet and losing weight.
Type 3 is not yet generally recognised by medical practitioners, but cutting-edge researchers have developed the theory that insulin resistance and insulin-like growth factor dysfunction in the brain may cause Alzheimer’s disease. Now, if that is not enough to deter you from tucking into crisps, cake and chocolate, then there's no hope for you.
Just Say No.
mr ishmael developed Type 1 diabetes quite suddenly, in his thirties, when his pancreas packed up after an attack of gastritis. Here's an early account of his diagnosis.

Me and Diabetes - 1987

I got diabetes once. Still have it actually. Like AIDS or Margaret Thatcher or the Queen Mother, diabetes is one of those things that’s always there. You just have to learn to live with it. What happens is your pancreas packs up and your body can't process sugar. You wind up feeling like a dog’s breakfast. You have a raging thirst, sugar-loaded blood and you spend a lot of time urinating.
When I first had it I was weak as a kitten. I kept falling over all the time. People’d say to me take more water with it, or give me Alcoholics Anonymous pamphlets. I went to the doctor and said I keep falling over all the time. He said take more water with it. I said, no, seriously, have a look at all these bruises on my knees. He said there’s nothing wrong with you but take a few days off.
I would slump in an armchair all day watching Antipodean unemployed peoples’ programmes, feeling lousy. I figured I must be either having a mid-life crisis, or Mark, my stepincommonlaw-son  was poisoning me. I’d sit in the chair thinking Oh God what’s wrong with me, drinking gallons of lemonade and eating giant-sized Mars Bars. Mark and his sister Mandy’d come home from school, survey the dozen flagons of pop and the chocolate bars and say, Oh good, can we have some? No, I’d snarl, there’s only enough for me. I’d go to bed at night, taking a few bottles of lemonade and lie there thinking Oh God what’s wrong with me. I’d be up every hour, drinking lemonade and going for a leak. Sometimes thirst and bursting bladder demanded attention simultaneously. I’d stand over the loo, passing a torrent of piss, thinking Oh God what’s wrong with me and drinking lemonade all at the same time. No mean feat.
My partner, Helen, a social worker, said I should go back to the doctor. She wasn’t getting any sleep and the lemonade and chocolate bars were costing a fortune, maybe we could get them on prescription. We’ve got diabetes, said doctor, when I told him about the lemonade and the chocolate. No I haven’t, Helen says I’m comfort-seeking; all the chocolate and pop are signs of a mid-life crisis, she says it’s the strain of a new relationship and commonlaw stepfatherhood. I’ll be alright when I get back to work. We’re diabetic, says doctor, Doctor knows best, but we’ll just check, before we go into hospital, ha ha. Give Sister a urine sample.
Sister looked like she’d done her SRN in the torture chambers of the KGB, built like Sylvester Stallone with the charm of a hippopotamus. Not a Florence Nightingale type. Pee in the bottle, she growled. When I brought it back she dropped something into it and the pee started bubbling like a witches’ cauldron. Hmm, she says, you could sweeten your tea with this stuff. How long have we been diabetic? I was scared to mention my mid-life crisis so I said I’m not diabetic I’m just a bit run down, that’s all. Saturated! She shouts gleefully to Doctorbastard in the next room. Grinning,
Doctor said We’ll have to go into hospital to be stabilised, I’ll just arrange a bed. But we’re not, I mean I’m not unstable, I protested, a bit eccentric maybe, perhaps a shade idiosyncratic, but not unstable, well not for a long time now anyway. No-no-no-no-no, not like that, he says, shaking his head at me like I was a four year old. We have to get your blood sugar stabilised, just you leave it to me, Doctor knows best.
An hour later I was lying in Casualty, wearing one of those stupid gowns that are supposed to tie up at the back but never do, with this really glamorous, blonde student Doctor, aged about 18 years old, examining me. She looked in my throat, my ears and my eyes, she held her fingers up for me to count, she tickled my feet, bashed my knees with a rubber hammer, listened to my chest, jabbed her fingers into my stomach and said there’s nothing wrong with you. You mean I’m not diabetic, can I go now? Diabetic? She said, nobody said anything about diabetes to me, we haven’t covered diabetes yet. Just then Big Cheese arrived, with lots of little cheeses following behind him, laughing at his jokes, gushing, stammering and offering him their stethoscopes. Have we done his blood? He says to Blondie. No? Well I think we should, don’t you? (By we he clearly meant you but that’s how they speak in hospitals.) Blondie, humbled, produces a giant hypodermic. Have you covered blood samples yet? I enquired fearfully. Anyway, a bit later, Big Cheese returns and says, triumphantly, blood sample shows Diabetes, no question about it. Still, he booms cheerily, no reason you don’t lead a normal life, eh? I think it’s a bit late for that, I said. I beg your pardon? says Cheese. 

After a few days in hospital getting stabilised by being woken up every time I got off to sleep, I came home. I’d learned to inject myself with insulin by practising on an orange, how to test my blood and count my carbohydrates. The last of these was painless, if confusing, but the first two involved sticking needles in myself with painful frequency. C’mere, says Helen one time when I was timorously attempting to prick my thumb for a blood test, not like that, I’ll do it. She’s like most social workers, reads a leaflet and she’s an expert;  goes on a course and she's an Authority. Racism Awareness was the worst; tore through the kids’ cupboards, burning the gollywogs and ripping up the Enid Blyton books. Anyway, she rammed this horrible sharp thing into my thumb bone, pulled it out and a geyser of my life’s blood went up the curtains. I was too busy  stemming the fountain to catch her. Mark was laughing like a drain.  You’re just a diseased old hippy, he said, too many rock festivals, too much marijuana. You’re gonna die, ha ha ha. The girls were kinder. Eleven year old Rebecca said Dad, I think I’m diabetic too. Listen, Daughter, this is very touching, but you’re not diabetic. She kept on about being diabetic until I suggested Helen test her blood - then she made a dramatic recovery. (There was no way she’d be diabetic anyway, her mother, my ex-wife, bless her pointed little head, would get an injunction to prevent it.) Mandy was fascinated by the actual injection. You know how kids are with horror movies – curl up tight in a ball and peek through their fingers. Mandy looked on me as her personal horror film. Told her friends that her mum was shacked up with a junky and brought them round to watch me injecting.
After a while everybody got used to it. Everybody except me.  I’ve been in dozens of road accidents, several brawls, a couple of muggings, I’ve been stabbed, run over, scalded, poisoned and blinded; I’ve fallen off horses, ladders, ships, cranes, trees and motorbikes; I’ve been divorced, bereaved, sued, locked up, slandered, libelled and misunderstood; I’ve had eye problems, kidney problems, back problems, lung problems, drug problems, booze problems, money problems and sex problems. I went to have my skull x-rayed once. The radiographer shook his head as he looked at the plates. I’ve never seen anything like this, your skull’s a frigging jigsaw puzzle. Buy a crash helmet and wear it all the time – in the bath, in bed, everywhere. I became an instant celebrity. He called all his mates over. Come and have a look at these x-rays. And the guy’s still walking around. This is him here. 
So in my humble opinion I’d had my share of calamity and the diabetes was wholly unnecessary. Right out of order.
But the worst was yet to come. It wasn’t the injections or the blood tests. It wasn’t the fact that my feet are liable to drop off and that I’m likely to go blind; odds-on favourite for a heart attack. Nor was it the Hypos – which happen when you’ve messed up your food and insulin juggling act, turned into a gibbering wreck and people have to tip boxes of icing sugar down your throat to bring you round - a thirty-seven year old shaking like a jelly moaning Sugar, Sugar. I learned to live with these tribulations. Except the one no-one mentioned in the hospital. The one side effect of diabetes guaranteed to drive me insane. Harry Secombe.
You develop an incurable disease, you tell your friends about it, and the first thing they say is Harry Secombe, he’s got that, hasn’t he? It doesn’t matter who they are. It’s like a Pavlovian response. They all say it. Go on, admit it. You probably do it yourself. Nobody says Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. They all say Yeah, Harry Secombe and start making Goon noises. Bastards.
Fat bastard Harry Secombe warbling Abide With Fucking Me or Bread of Heaven, Bread of Fucking Heaven, feed me until is stuffed. Worst thing ever happen to stanislav was get dia-fucking-betes, everybody said Oh, fuck, diabetes, Harry Secombe, he's got that, innit, fat Welch bastard, never mind, stan, can sing If I Rued The World, like 'Arry? Good old 'Arry, was in the Goons you know, before he got diabetes, ying-tong-ying-tong-ying-tong-ying-tong-ying-tong-tiddle-eye-poo. Can sing that one, stan?

I gather that you may be joining Guernsey, or is it Norway, Mrs I ?

Thanks for today's portion.

mrs ishmael said...

More huffing and puffing, mr bungalow bill, I suspect. Here's a link to the BBC description of the Orkney aspiration to remove itself from the tight-fisted Scottish Government: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-66066448
They'll no be letting Orkney go, Bismillah, no, they will not let us go - what with all that yellow cake uranium nestled under Stromness and Yesnaby, and the massive strategic reserves the Council is sitting on, from the heady days of oil exploration.
Thank you for your appreciation of today's offering.

Mike said...

Its very clear what Orkney should do:

1. Hold a referendum and declare independence.

2. Apply to join BRICS - with the Orkney resources this would guarantee major Chinese investment.

3. Apply to join the Russian Federation - this would immediately guarantee security, with the bonus that Russia would have a forward base on the UK. If NATO can do it with Ukraine, why not Russia with Orkney?

Then the Orcadians would be able to meet people who can out-drink them.

Win-win-win as the Chinese say. Or leverage as they say in the West.

inmate said...

Diabetes = Vaxxine, nah.
Probly years of over indulgence eating processed shit, booze, aspartame, tobacco, over prescribed pharma drugs an tattooist’s inks.
Excess heart attacks, heart failure, myocarditis, pericarditis, miscarriages, reduced/plummeting sperm counts, post menopausal periods, turbo cancers, shingles = Vaxxine, most likely.
Dementia/ Alzheimer’s = Statins and beta-blockers plus other over prescribed pharma drugs.

Yep, President Rashid Sanook (@joebiden) can make all the promises he likes, don’t matter a shit, he ain’t gonna be there next GE. He’s but a placeman on contract for the WEF, unelected, unaccountable, non-removable by the electorate.

Oh, Orkney n Shetland have never been ‘legally’ part of Scotland, just presumed to be, due to proximity. Norwegian actually, independent officially.

mongoose said...

Enough idle joshing!

Unfortunately, it has been decided that unnecessarily distributed communities are a blight on the eco-loveliness of the universe. Too many too-costly ferries and too much sail-boaty silliness is required. Just the cost and emissions of freighting your Buckie across the oceans is beggaring the nation and slaughtering the polar bears. Henceforth, and beginning Tuesday next, all island dwellers will be resettled in efficient densities. Alas, and alack, and oh well, for Orcadians this means a tower block in Glasgow. Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Tower Block! Don't worry, you will all fit. And henceforth Shithouse House on Shithouse Lane, Glasgow will be known as New Orkney, so it will. You may bring one small airline-cabin bag per person. That is all.

mrs ishmael said...

I entirely agree with you, mr mongoose, certainly in respect of the smaller populated isles, where tiny populations are provided with schools, doctors, community nurses and ferry links - there's one preposterously minuscule island, called Papa Westray, 4 miles long and a mile wide, population of 90, which has a primary school, complete with full complement of teaching staff, cleaning staff and a Head post, servicing 4 pupils.

mrs ishmael said...

With due respect, my inmate, don't mix up your Type 1 with your Type 2 diabetes. The over-indulgence, especially in sugar, causes Type 2 - but Type 1 is a different matter entirely, caused by the immune system attacking and destroying its own insulin-producing cells. It used to be called Juvenile Diabetes, because its usual onset was in childhood.


Orkney was a part of Norway until it was given to the King of Scotland as a dowry for Margaret of Norway. Kids here are still called Norwegian names - Rognvald, Magnus, Thorfinn etc.

inmate said...

Regards diabetes mrs I, I didn’t mix them up, yes overindulgence of anything will lead to problems, however, as we are seeing with the mRNA vaxx the immune system can be overwhelmed causing all sorts of trouble, who’s to say the drug pushing by doctorbastards of pharma drugs - which we’re taking for ever - isn’t causing the overwhelming health problems we see today.

Regarding Orkney, the islands were only a temporary guarantee of a dowry by King Cristian to James. As I found out today Orkney, Shetland and the western isles have been Norse for far longer than Scotchish.

mongoose said...

Being the difficult sort of bastard that i am, mr inmate, I collect the actual stats from the ONS - weekly deaths (Eng and Wales only unfortunately). There is a definite surplus death rate above and beyond the covid pandemic and it is still there. Everything being equal - either incoming folk are significantly ill and die at a v significantly heightened rate than the err native population, or some phenomena is killing us that wasn't there covid and the "vaccinations" took place. It's about 15-20% extra during the winter and early spring. That's a fuck of a lot! About 1500 people per week extra during those months.

inmate said...

It is mr mongoose, but our betters are trying to blame anything but the vaxx. Lockdown, mental health, suicide, wood burners, for fuxake, working from home and of course the sudden rise in cancers being attributed to the backlog in rNHS. It would appear that ‘died suddenly ‘ is a new phenomena, just coincidence so nowt to worry about.

inmate said...

Oh, and apparently the third biggest killer in the USandA, after heart disease and cancers, is over prescribed prescription drugs.

mrs ishmael said...

Just more proof, gentlemen, that the person most likely to kill you is your doctor.

ultrapox - part one said...

as you say, mr mongoose, the ons-figures for weekly registered deaths certainly indicate an elevated current mortality-rate compared to the five year average - and do so despite the five year average mortality-rate being skewed upwards by the lockdown-induced death-spikes of 2020 and 2021 - however, compared to age-standardized mortality-rates from 15 or 20 years ago, the present age-standardized mortality-rates are visibly lower - see figures 1 and 2 from the monthly mortality analysis, england and wales: may 2023 - and this fact may account for, but cannot excuse, the lack of official concern recently registered in this respect.

mortality-graphs reveal that spikes in the mortality-rate are precipitated either by extreme weather conditions or extreme human intervention - such as the lockdown of health-services in march 2020, new year 2021, and notoriously, between 23rd october and 9th november 2020 in coincidence with the murderous welsh 'circuit-breaker' - and therefore, whilst the huge mortality-spike of christmas 2022 is not directly attributable to the autumn-administration of the bivalent 'covid'-booster-vaccine, this extraordinary christmas-carnage was nevertheless caused by the complete dysfunction of hospitals which had become terminally clogged with cases of 'covid'-booster-injury.

i can assure you that a month-by-month trawl through all-cause mortality-rates according to vaccination-status will make very grim reading indeed for people vaccinated against 'covid' - especially those belonging to older generations - and despite suspiciously limited ons-analysis concluding there to be, for young people, "no significant increase in cardiac or all-cause death in the 12 weeks following covid-19 vaccination compared with more than 12 weeks after any dose", this abstruse finding does not necessarily support the rather specious ons-claim that there exists "no increased risk of cardiac or all-cause death for young people in general in the weeks after vaccination" - particularly in view of the admission that there is "an increased risk of cardiac death in young women after a first dose of non-mrna vaccines, with the risk being 3.5 times higher in the 12 weeks following vaccination, compared with the longer-term risk."

[my emphasis is added in bold]

ultrapox - part two said...

(continued from part one above)

indeed, it is what the ons has deliberately avoided analyzing, in the above report, which gives serious cause for concern...

and therefore, if we have not taken the trouble to examine the data-trove ourselves, we are still left pondering the most fundamental questions - including:


1. what are the all-cause mortality-rates for the 'covid'-vaccinated compared to 'covid'-unvaccinated?

2. what are the all-cause mortality-rates for the 'covid'-vaccinated compared to 'covid'-unvaccinated in older generations?

3. what are the all-cause mortality-rates for the 'covid'-vaccinated compared to 'covid'-unvaccinated in younger generations?

4. what is the post-vaccination risk of cardiac or all-cause death for young people compared to this risk pre-vaccination?

5. what is the post-vaccination risk of cardiac or all-cause death for older people compared to this risk pre-vaccination?


dear me, why have the above-figures not been collated - and what facts are these criminal omissions intended to conceal, i wonder?

as i have mentioned before, europe-wide mortality-graphs - pooled by age-group - indicate that current mortality-rates for under-14s have increased from pre-'covid' levels - and this increase in child-mortality is severely pronounced following roll-out of the bivalent 'covid' booster-programme in autumn 2022.

tragically, europeans appear to be jabbing their children to death - most notably in germany and france.

mongoose said...

Indeed, and the silence regarding the lack of appropriate analysis is deafening. Everyone should be interested in the effects of a) covid, b) the different "vaccines", and c) the lockdowns. That is not to mention the numbers regarding d) adverse cancer presentations, e) mental health referrals of young people, f) value outcomes for university students. And we could go on and on.

mongoose said...

Then again, maybe people are analysing and the analyses are being ruthlessly suppressed.

eg Lancet Study on Covid Vaccine Autopsies Finds 74% Were Caused by Vaccine – Journal Removes Study Within 24 Hours

Mike said...

Mr mongoose. Similar pathology data in Australia (not being reported).

If you haven't seen this, please watch. Its the mRNA vaccines.

ultrapox said...

ok, in light of new evidence, i duly withdraw my accusation that there exists no ons-comparison of all-cause mortality-rates for the 'covid'-vaccinated with all-cause mortality-rates for the 'covid'-unvaccinated.

it transpires that, in an article examining the effect of 'covid'-vaccination upon death-rates, the daily mail has already published age-standardized mortality-rates of all-cause death per 100000 person-years - as compiled from 'table 1' of the 01.04.2021-31.12.2022 dataset for deaths by vaccination status, england.

the - incorrectly-titled - daily mail graph shows a gradually increasing all-cause mortality-rate for the 'covid'-vaccinated, compared with a significantly decreasing all-cause mortality-rate for the 'covid'-unvaccinated - such that by december 2022, the two mortality-rates were deemed by statisticians to be 'consistent' - however we will never know whether all-cause mortality-rates for the 'covid'-vaccinated have continued to rise, or whether all-cause mortality-rates for the 'covid'-unvaccinated have continued to fall, because in january 2023, following the cataclysmic roll-out of the bivalent 'covid'-booster programme, this vital aspect of 'covid'-vaccine surveillance - together with the report-page coronavirus (covid-19) latest insights: vaccines - appears mysteriously to have been discontinued.

in respect of the above-reported research, it is also worth noting that, for january, february, and march 2021, the ons suspiciously declined to analyze the mortality-data which it had already compiled according to vaccination-status, and that the use of age-standardized mortality-rates from 'table 1' clouds a clear signal which emerges from the raw mortality-rate data presented - according to vaccination-status and age-group - in 'table 5'.

to be honest, the mere fact that death-rates for the 'covid'-vaccinated and 'covid'-unvaccinated are now considered 'consistent' completely undermines the rationale for risking receipt of an emergency-approved vaccine which is known to have nasty side-effects, and indeed, italian analysis of the same ons-dataset has concluded that:


1. "all-cause mortality relative risk was higher in people who received one or two doses of covid-19 vaccines throughout the whole period and in any of the age groups considered."

2. "people vaccinated with three doses more than 21 days earlier had relative risks lower than unvaccinated people, which however linearly increased over time."

3. "relative risk in vaccinated people of all ages in comparison to unvaccinated people were lower in january-may 2021, however they steadily grew over time."

4. "all-cause mortality relative risk in vaccinated in comparison to unvaccinated people increases over time."

surprise, surprise: the mortality-rates for the vaccinated cohort - except in age-group 50-59 - are absolutely fucking horrendous.

the daily mail has revealed that only 75 brits have been sent to meet their maker by the 'covid'-vaccines...

however, what this shamefully ignorant newspaper has not bothered to mention is that any pre-2020 vaccine which boasted this degree of death-count would have been instantly withdrawn.

furthermore, given the knowledge that the nhs harbours a virulent institutional aversion to investigating 'covid'-vaccine-injury and 'covid'-vaccine-death, it is complete nonsense for so-called experts to cite a toll of 75 as the estimate-ceiling for 'covid'-vaccine-fatalities: why not reckon on 750, 7500, or even 75000?

tragically, you see, the government's deliberate failure to monitor 'covid'-vaccine-injury and adverse reaction means that we really do not have a fucking clue as to the number of 'covid'-vaccine-deaths...

however, we do recognize it's unacceptably huge.

finally, the daily snail is beginning to get warm:


harvard and yale scientists investigate new condition dubbed 'long vax': debilitating suite of symptoms linked to covid shot that last months and resemble long covid - but scientists stress it's extremely rare and benefits of vaccination outweigh risk

- symptoms include headaches, fatigue, abnormal heart rate and blood pressure

- researchers say it could be due to an immune overreaction to the covid protein



i can tell you for nowt that this very serious - and probably auto-immune - disorder causes iron-deficiency anaemia and blood-clots. if it has an auto-immune origin, this life-threatening condition will require a victim to be hospitalized, and in cases of 'warm' auto-immune haemolytic anaemia to undergo treatment with corticosteroids - in order to reset the dysfunctional immune system. alternatively, blood and iron transfusions may be administered for the anaemia - possibly along with blood-thinners for any blood-clotting; normal daily supplements of vitamin-c plus zinc will facilitate an increase in the body's absorption of iron - however too much zinc can also cause copper-deficiency, or hypocupremia.

i know of two elderly women, in the same village, who have suffered this awful type of vaccine-injury, and i therefore reckon this debilitating illness not to be rare amongst 'covid'-vaccinated individuals - especially those who have received the double-strength bivalent mrna-booster.
