These women who lost their children during delta were all freshly vaccinated. That's what the data suggest.

If you'd ask me, I'm sure of it.

As it stands, the 'study' clearly holds that 'all…were unvaccinated'.

About two years ago, I noticed something quite 'funny', though:

https://fackel.substack.com/p/covid-update-from-norway-3e4

The age bracket 40-44yo was quite 'under-vaccinated' (if such a thing exists), yet the IPH was claiming uptake rates in excess of 90% (among those 18 or older).

If you'd add the notion that Norwegian mothers are getting ever more older when they have their first child, I suppose the following happened here:

The study authors looked long and hard to find a very small sample of mothers who lost their child after becoming 'infected'; yes, they mentioned that 'all…were unvaccinated', but nowhere did they state anything about, say, the 14-21 days after 'vaccination' that people were counted as 'unvaccinated'…

My hunch is, although I cannot 'prove' this, that some shenanigans like that are at-work here.

What do you think?

Well at least in the US I have 100% reliable information that the CDC categorized recently first-dosed infected individuals as unvaccinated for some studies on vaccine efficacy, along with truly unvaccinated individuals. For their hospitalization dashboard they just pretend these people don't exist.

I wrote about it in my new article (summer deaths) article. It's up there in the summary (the article is very long). They also count everyone as unvaccinated who they don't have vaccination info on. It's insane

I read your piece, and this is also why I wrote about these 'shenanigans'. I think you're correct about this.

I might even write the corresponding author and ask, perhaps this person will also reply…

They're pushing masks again in Australia saying it's the 'eighth wave.'

It's 37C.

Shouldn't we be in the climate narrative? It's all so tiresome.

Sure, masks have always worked against such things, hence why are you questioning them now?

As to the weather, isn't it summer down in Oz? Why wouldn't it be warm like that?

If I'd had to guess, I'd bet the coming narrative is something related to the economic downturn that is now imminent. Couple of notes about that:

* M2 is down in both the EU and the US, for the first time since central banks publish such data in Europe (1982), and overseas it's worse (for the last that happened was in 1929).

* Unemployment, open jobs, and retail sails are problematic; just a few points about Austria here: 6.4-5% are out of work (i.e., on the dole), there's some 350K vacancies that no-one wants or cares enough about (as you'll get more being on the dole than working shitty jobs, but, you know, raising wages, esp. with inflation still high, does not appear to be a concern); sales and consumption have been in negative territory for more than a year (it's some 13 or 14 months in row now).

* It doesn't look much better here up north, for construction has plummeted due to high interest rates; yes, the central bank left rates as they were two days ago--but announced another hike in December; new construction commissions are down by by 50% now, which will play out over the next 6-9 months as construction companies will get fewer and fewer new orders, according to a report in state media some 2-3 weeks ago.

So, the question becomes: what will end 'Ukraine'--is it a Russian 'victory'/implosion of the Zelenskyy régime or will it be major economic dislocation in the West?

Will 'news' about economic gloom and doom push images from Gaza off the screens? (Last night in Germany, hundreds of thousands of moslems 'protested' waving Islamist banners; police states they can't do this any longer.)

So, the other issue lurking somehow in the background: 'build back better' and 'resetting' our societies never looked as good as it will in 2024…

I can confirm that things are so bad economically in Australia - I have never seen it like this in my lifetime. Entire families are sleeping in their cars because there is no housing. When you turn up to a rental 'open day' there can be 100 other applicants.

If you are 'lucky' enough to have a caravan to sleep in, a powered site is 50$ a night, plus $15 for every adult and $10 for every child. PER NIGHT. An unpowered site - so, just a patch of dirt to place a tent is 40$ a night. People are now just living in the forest.

There are thousands of migrants pouring in every day. Shopfronts are boarded up. Inflation is out of control. Even murders are becoming common - we never used to have murders. Maybe one or two a year in Perth. Now? One a week it seems.

Meanwhile our Prime Minister is dining with Joe Biden, giving our money to Israel and Ukraine and spending billions on vanity projects. Essentially, they are looting the treasury before the collapse.

Proverbially fiddling while the city burns; how fitting.

O'er in Austria, the oppositional Social Democrats are now demanding 'legal refugee corridors' and the like while the gov't (conservatives-in-name-only and Greens [sic]) parties combined are polling at less than the 'far-right' Freedom Party…
