      1. Please explain how one million people, fully vaccinated, died in one year is a “useless stat!”

        Laugh all you want. I’d love to see how you’re going to spin your way out of this one.

        I see you didn’t even bother to try, or you would have had all the answers already.

        1. fc.

          For example for 2022:

          UK deaths all ages under 40 = 13,988
          UK deaths all ages over 90 =124,930

          The death rate for very old people is 8.9 times higher than under 40! OMG!

          Considering that COVID deaths were predominantly among the elderly, which group was more likely to be vaccinated? Obviously vaccinations caused these deaths?

          But even more interesting.
          For those deaths ages over 90;
          – males = 45,432
          – females = 79,432
          OMG! Women dying almost twice as much as men!

          Vaccinations must be affecting women more than men!

          Or perhaps other factors need to be considered.

          1. “OMG! Women dying almost twice as much as men! ”
            There are simply more women than men that make it to 90 years.

        2. “Please explain how one million people, fully vaccinated, died in one year is a “useless stat!””

          Allow me to try. Do you remember when the governments were claiming the Wuhan Flu killed a lot more than it did, when cancer victims were dying from Wuhan, when people who got shot died from Wuhan, when a shark attack victim died from Wuhan? And when every sensible person on the planet screamed “comorbidities”? Yeah. This is bullshit like those government stats but in the opposite direction hence uncritically accepted by SDA mainstream.

          People of low health were much more likely to get vaccinated. People of low health are also much more likely to die. People who were generally more healthy were also less likely to get vaccinated. People who are more healthy are also less likely to die. Elderly were vaccinated at higher rates. Elderly tend to have less life left than young. There this explain the alarmist result.

          Disclaimer for idiots: above I did not make a statement who should and who should not get vaccinated.

      2. It is so much easier to fool people than convince them they have been fooled. For me, I look at every headline and try to analyze the goal. Most often it is likely some narrative is being created and over time the real intent may become apparent.

        “Fully covid jabbed accounted for 95% of all COVID deaths between January and May 2023 in England “. I agree this is not a particularly useful statistic. Frankly , for the most part my experience is that at this point Covid is comparable to a seasonal cold. This has not stopped the hysteria in health centers should someone test positive. No one in authority has applied standard risk management tools and decisions continue to be made based on fear and emotion.

        A detailed analysis of the death profiles based on these excess deaths in England would be most welcome. It certainly appears to me based on the ratio of deaths in jabbed vrs unjabbed something far outside standard deviations is occurring as stated in the article ,in all age groups. Fortunately , there is a much larger control group than they would have had us believe while promoting their jabs. I have struggled with the contention the jab was 95% effective from the beginning. There was an ever changing definition of what this meant. The reluctance to address concerns , the coercion, the plethora of misinformation, the subversion on dissenting experts and profit motive is more than enough to set off alarm bells in critical thinkers. For those who still buy in , I in no way expect to influence thought process. By all means get out there and get those jabs. After all , it’s just another 95% headline.

    1. They didn’t die from “covid”, they died from the shots. No one died of “covid in 2023, 2022, or 2021, or 2020.

        1. In 2020, all influenza and pneumonia deaths were recorded as covid instead, and so for the first time in ever nobody died of the flu.

  1. While it is a beautiful rendition of that song, it is entirely inappropriate for Christmas, or even for any church setting. Leonard Cohen was very generous with the licensing of this song, and there are published versions (with verses by other writers) that are quite appropriate for Christmas, as well as for Easter.

    Here is one version, quite appropriate for Christmas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUJRZRymd1I

    1. Leonard Cohen original rendition of Hallelujah was anything but religious. I cringe when I hear it played over the holiday season as a Christmas song, no matter how many times the lyrics have been re-written.

      1. “I did my best, it wasn’t much
        I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
        I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool ya
        And even though it all went wrong
        I’ll stand before the lord of song
        With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah”

        Brilliant. Like so many other of his songs.

      2. I have always loathed Leonard Cohen, his work and voice. Miserable, self-absorbed sod.

        1. Robert, I agree. His only positive achievement was writing the song “Hallelujah” (as sung by others). Sad though when his money manager stole all of his wealth late in his life.

  2. “Just about all of the media have been peddling the “Hottest for 125,000 years” claim, ”

    “…the climatic evidence we do have is overwhelming, and it tells us that the climate has been much warmer than now for most of the last 10000 years, since the end of the ice age.

    Here are ten powerful, incontrovertible pieces of evidence”…

    “I agree totally we have had a global temperature increase in the 20thC – but an increase from what? ..Probably an increase from the lowest point in the last 10,000 years.”

    The 4 minute video clip is worth your time, I think.

  3. A Compelling Net-Zero Analogy…

    “… Cortés decided to march on the Aztec capital and conquer it. To dispel any notion amongst his crew of fleeing, he destroyed his ships, leaving only victory or death as their path forward…”

    Like Cortes”… we have leadership in the Western world with the romantic vision of Cortés to march us forward to the Net Zero uplands and allow no one to turn back and embrace the comfort of their former fossil-fueled past.”

    “Coal-fired power is just one of the ships that the modern-day Cortés intends to torch. The other is power from natural gas. ”

    https://wattsupwiththat.com/2023/12/26/cortess-ships-and-net-zero-romanticism/

    1. And the goal is not NetZero, but Absolute Zero – no fossil fuels produced or used of any kind.

      1. Codex – and they want it now. I wonder when Just Stop Oil starts going all Manson. Charlie tried to start a race war or class war by killing rich and famous people. JSO is way more motivated than Charles was.

    2. If They get rid of the excess useless mouths like us, then They can achieve their goals (They think).

      1. The problem for the purveyors of this goal is that they need some scribes to do their thinking and serfs to provide labour and priests to keep them in line, For these people will still be flying their corporate jets, and eating and heating well.

    Soaking in ice water and stretched across your forehead will reduce pain from hangover.
    Or hang under.

    1. Again, I keep hearing of labour shortages at a time when “immigration” is at absurd, record levels.

      1. Why would illegals work when they are already on the Liberals UBI system.
        They think that’s just the way it is.

  5. I am sure the same is going on in many mosques in Canada too.
