We saw the other day that the UK government has been fudging the numbers in a major way. But what are the real numbers in the US? How honest are our rulers?
The short answer? Nobody knows. I’ve always been a skeptic.
The somewhat longer answer: Whatever the real numbers are, they’re nothing like the numbers that the authorities are trying to get you to believe.
You can read the full story here: "The Truth Is, We Have No Idea" - CDC Data Missed Millions Of Unvaccinated Americans. But you won’t get the real numbers:
… revisions in data from three states - Illinois, Pennsylvania and West Virginia - found enough over-counting of first shots to suggest that there are plenty of unvaccinated people nationally who’ve mistakenly been counted as having received a dose.
One of the biggest gaps identified was in Pennsylvania, where CDC estimates of first doses for the elderly exceed the state of Pennsylvania's estimate by about 850,000.
If changes are made to the national data on the scale of Pennsylvania's revisions, this would mean increasing the number of Americans who are unvaccinated by more than 10MM.
"The truth is, we have no idea," said Clay Marsh, West Virginia's Covid czar.

It would be interesting - if not horrifying - to know what percentage of people who had their first shots declined a second due to serious adverse reactions or did not get them because they died in the interim. I realize we will likely never know. But that means the state officials who I admit surmise more than we do don't have an answer for that either.
