Um, yeah, about those Texas DSHS Covid-19 Vax vs Unvax Numbers...
Is Abbott's State Health Services Agency Putting their finger on the scale for the Covid Drugs?
“The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.” Proverbs 11.1
Texas Department of State Health Services seems to have the same problem with dishonest accounting that has infected most other sinecures in the public health papacy: They are cooking the books to make the Covid injections look better than they really are.
To whit, they are playing fast and loose with the definitions of “vaccinated” and “unvaccinated”.
To look at their COVID-19 Cases and Deaths by Vaccination Status Dashboard, one would think the deplorable, Trump-loving, anti-science “unvaccinated” are driving the Covid cases and deaths in the state by a wide margin.
But read the definitions a little more closely:
Do you notice the semantic, sleight of hand in the “Definitions” section? “Fully vaccinated cases” means “received a 2-dose series and have had at least 14 days to establish protection” (emphasis added). This definition accounts for the well-known fact that efficacy will temporarily decrease immediately after receiving a Covid injection.
Now read the “Unvaccinated cases” definition: “…did not receive any doses of an FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccine”.
Did you notice the population that is missing? It looks like DSHS lost a whole lot of people who got the Covid jabs before they had “14 days to establish protection”. Where did DSHS put them? Well the “Rate Calculations” gives us a clue: “The unvaccinated population is defined by subtracting the number fully vaccinated….. from the entire Texas population.” (Emphasis added)
And here, my friends, we see lying with statistics in action, on the taxpayer dime no less. Subtracting DSHS “vaccinated” population which include people who have received two doses and “14 days to establish protection” from the entire Texas population for the same age group means those who have received the shots but are before their 14 day window, when they are more vulnerable to Covid-19, are considered “unvaccinated”. In other words, DSHS is putting their thumb on the scale in favor of the leaky Covid drugs.
So how many people who received the Covid shot are included in DSHS death numbers? One researcher estimated that 56% of “unvaxxed” deaths were actually early post-vax. So, when you look at DSHS numbers, subtract 56% of the volume from the “unvaxxed” and add them back to the “vaxxed” and I think you’ll find that Greg Abbott’s public health bureaucrats are engaging in Enron-levels of dishonest accounting.
If Governor Abbott was really concerned about righting the state economically and restoring public trust in state government, he would fire the snake oil salesmen producing this panic porn. Then, he would align state agencies against the deceptive dictates pushed by Big Pharma and the Feds that are assaulting Texans’ freedoms, health, jobs and lives. If the Governor is unable or unwilling to do that, Texans should fire him in favor of someone who can.
