There are a lot of different numbers being tossed around, but what do they really mean? Beneath the heart-stopping headlines and shocking statistics, there is usually sound data that provides the less alarming context.
News outlets use scare tactics to hook the human psyche. Indeed, this entire COVID “crisis” has been driven by very sophisticated propaganda, intentionally devious interpretations of data, and an embarrassing lack of critical thinking.
Scary headlines feed your fear. Naturally, living in a fearful state causes the mind to filter information in a way that confirms the need to be scared, so that you can stay alive. It’s a predictable part of being human.
This hardwired instinct is meant to keep you alive. Unfortunately, it also short-circuits critical thinking.
Why? Because if you’re running from a tiger, you don’t have time to stop and analyze every rustle in bushes behind you. Instead, you bolt toward whatever feels safest in that moment.
And so it is with COVID:
We see a shocking headline (the rustle in the bushes), and rather than analyze what is really being said, we bolt toward perceived safety–> the minds confirms prior conclusions about the pandemic (there IS a tiger chasing me!), and seeks comfort in proscribed solutions (the government/masks/vaccines will protect me).
Below you will find examples of critical analysis that demonstrate how to dig deeper into the data and find the truth of the situation for yourself.
Looking at the numbers from other countries, it become very clear that the vaccines do NOT afford any greater protection from COVID. In fact, just the opposite is true!
August 25, 2021
Israel (pop. 9,227,700)
78% age 12 and older fully vaccinated
26% age 12 and older on their 3rd jab
7 day average cases per day = 6088
7 day average deaths = 21
Lebanon (pop. 6,768,310)
15% age 12 and older fully vaccinated
0.0% age 12 and older on their 3rd jab
7 day average cases per day = 540
7 day average deaths = 3
Egypt (pop. 102,000,000)
**11x the population of Israel**
2.1% age 12 and older fully vaccinated
0.0% age 12 and older on their 3rd jab
(adjusted for population size difference vs Israel)
7 day average cases per day = 16
7 day average deaths = 0.73
The higher the vaccination rate, the HIGHER the average case count and number of deaths. This is is exactly this same trend that we see in the United States. What a coincidence!
With a little critical thinking and elementary math, the narrative unravels pretty fast. That is why it is critical to shed assumptions, do the homework, and figure things out for yourself.
If you have recently figured out that the public is being fleeced, welcome to the club.
THE CLAIM:
There are now 11.98x More Deaths in the Unvaccinated!
These are the numbers being presented:
428 vaccinated deaths
5,126 unvaccinated deaths
Doing the math: 5,126/428 = 11.98
Sounds like a crisis right?!
Take a closer look….
Here’s the latest CDC data covering the areas below between April 4, 2021 to July 17th:
(Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Los Angeles County, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York City, North Carolina, Seattle and Utah.)

Take Note:
>>> Just 18% of the population was fully vaccinated on 4/4 and 49% on 7/17
>>> So, naturally, you’re going to have far more “unvaccinated deaths” since 82% of the population was unvaccinated at the beginning of the data set.

Here’s the meat of it all:
Deaths / Hospitalization (all ages)
5,126/28,883 = 17.74% of the “unvaccinated” who were hospitalized died.
428/2,025 = 21.14% of the “fully vaccinated” who were hospitalized died.
IF THE VACCINES WORK, then why is the death rate HIGHER among vaccinated people?!
