The Arabs of Israel Are they a "persecuted minority?" In a recent poll, 70% of Israel's Arabs declared that they identified with and felt loyalty to the Palestinians, and not to the state of Israel. Significantly, however, the same percentage (70%) declared that they would much prefer to live in Israel than in any other country in the area. (2001).* The Nation, Volume 272, 2001, p. 25* The American Spectator, 2001, Volume 34, p. 15.* _____ Survey finds 28 pct of Israeli Arabs deny Holocaust Dan Williams, Reuters, Mar 20, 2007. — According to the Haifa University survey, 28 percent...

If the truth hurts your narrative, you must censor it. But what if your own information harms your own narrative? Well, then you stop publishing it. For the past few months, Scotland has been publishing age-stratified case rates by vaccination status in a very well broken-down chart every Wednesday afternoon, similar to the way the U.K. published the data every Thursday. The common thread observed from these trends was that the unvaccinated had the lowest case rate, the double-vaccinated had even higher death and hospitalization rates, and the triple-jabbed gradually had increasingly higher case rates, which clearly doesn’t portend good...

You asked ​​Please can you advise on deaths purely from covid with no other underlying causes. We said Thank you for your request. We are responsible for the production of mortality data for England and Wales, this is derived from death certificates in the process of death registration. For mortality figures where COVID-19 was the sole cause of death, please see: Pre-existing conditions of people whose death was recorded with an underlying cause of COVID-19, this dataset can be found in section 8 of the Monthly mortality analysis bulletin. This dataset provides a greater insight into the leading pre-existing cause...

Roughly 30% of all anti-Semitic incidents reported worldwide in 2021 occurred in the US, according to a new report by the Jewish Agency and the World Zionist Organization. The US had the second largest number of anti-Semitic incidents reported last year, after Europe. Broken down by state, New York had the largest number of anti-Semitic incidents in 2021, followed by California, Florida, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. Texas, where a gunman held four people hostage at a synagogue last Saturday, ranked number six. The figures tended to correlate with the size of local Jewish populations in absolute terms. New York, California, and...

Over the past few years, I've encountered various statistics that ruined my day, so to spread the pain, I've collected a few here. Let's start with: 1. The nuclear family fades in the USA: According to a Pew Research study, the United States has the highest number of children living in single-parent households. Almost one fourth (23%) of children in the U.S. under the age of 18 live with one parent and no other adult, which is the highest in the world. 2. Astronomical debt: Our national debt in 2021 was over 28 trillion dollars. This was 122% of GDP....

Federal agencies don’t count what politicians don’t want to know. President Biden and other Democrats continuously invoke “science and data” to sanctify all their Covid-19 mandates and policies, but the same shenanigans and willful omissions have characterized Covid data.During his update on his Winter Covid Campaign on Tuesday, President Biden declared, “Almost everyone who has died from COVID-19 in the past many months has been unvaccinated.” This was true from the start of the pandemic in early 2020, until the vaccines’ efficacy began failing badly in recent months. Oregon officially classifies roughly a quarter of its Covid fatalities since August...

Fauci admitted on TV that when a kid comes into a hospital for say a broken leg. The hospital will test him for covid. If the kid tests positive, then the kid gets counted as a Covid hospitalization individual. Even though the kid is there for a broken leg. It the same for adults.Watch this 1 minute and 56 second clip below. https://twitter.com/ToTheLifeboats/status/1476743919543144459

Rumble — Pfizer reported that its vaccine shows a 95% efficacy. That sounds like it protects you 95% of the time. But that's not what that number actually means. That is the relative risk reduction which does NOT tell you what your overall risk is reduced by vaccination. For that number, we need to look at absolute risk reduction. Time only 118 seconds of pure information!

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Those who follow the debate on restoring Second Amendment rights have probably heard the other side proclaim some variant of:“Most victims are murdered by people they know.”The implication is defending yourself from a murderer is futile, because there is no point in trying to defend yourself from a person who is close to you.This is a way of lying with statistics. The truth is far different.Few Victims Are Murdered By Someone They Live With.In 2013, this correspondent published an essay on the Misleading Murderer that you Know. The numbers were from 2010. This update uses the latest numbers....

Doctors tell One America News they are being threatened and silenced for raising questions about the effectiveness of coronavirus vaccines. One America’s Pearson Sharp sat down with Dr. Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric heart specialist, who explains the vaccine represents a greater danger to our children’s health than COVID itself.

The CDC hits a new low Alex Berenson 10 hr ago 1,080 (I didn’t think it was possible either.) But yesterday the Centers for Disease Control, America’s not-at-all-politicized public health agency, released a new study purporting to show that vaccination protects against Covid infection better than natural immunity. Of course, a wave of stories about the benefits of mRNA vaccination followed. To do this, the CDC used some magic statistical analysis to turn inside raw data that actually showed almost four times as many fully vaccinated people being hospitalized with Covid as those with natural immunity - and FIFTEEN TIMES...

Oregon state Sens. Kim Thatcher and Dennis Linthicum, both Republicans, have petitioned Acting U.S. Attorney Scott E. Asphaug to launch a grand jury investigation into the measurement of COVID-19 statistics by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).Thatcher and Linthicum submitted the petition in a letter (pdf) on Aug. 16 after gathering signatures from 1,718 Oregonians and 53,032 Americans.In the petition, the senators expressed concerns over the measurement and reporting of COVID-19 vaccine adverse reactions including fatalities and injuries.The lawmakers stated that a whistleblower, under sworn testimony, said the data reported under...

Charleston, WV — West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice shared alarming news in his COVID-19 press briefing on August 23, 2021. And while the small state’s local news is barely a blip on the radar of larger networks, the contents should alarm vaccine advocates everywhere. During the first weeks of the vaccine rollout, West Virginia won gold stars from experts everywhere for its commendable vaccination rate which nearly doubled the national rate. Programs targeting the elderly and at-risk populations were going above and beyond the call of duty. And for younger populations in the state which suffers from poverty and rampant...

Charles A. Murray ’65 spoke to Harvard affiliates at a Friday webinar about his new book, which criticizes the idea that race and gender are social constructs. Faculty in attendance criticized his work, saying it makes unfounded claims and is rooted in flawed methodology. Government preceptor David D. Kane invited Murray — whose work the Southern Poverty Law Center terms “racist pseudoscience” – to speak about his 2020 book “Human Diversity: The Biology of Gender, Race, and Class” as part of a lecture series entitled “Data Scientists, Data Professionals, Data Dissidents.” Murray said during the talk that many of Harvard’s...

Young people are more likely to suffer heart inflammation from COVID-19 infection than they are from the vaccines, a new study finds. Researchers from Case Western Reserve University, in Cleveland, Ohio, analyzed data from COVID-19 patients and vaccine recipients aged 12 to 17. They found heart inflammation, also known as myocarditis, after contracting the virus was six times more likely than after receiving the vaccine among teen boys, and 21 times higher among girls. Our results suggest that, even for this high-risk subgroup [young males], the risk of myocarditis from COVID-19 infection is about 5.9 times as great, at a...

CDC has added 6,000 new death reports in VAERS following #COVID19 vaccinations in the US. This is more than double last week's total figure and 0.0036% of the approx. 338 million administered doses.https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1417815215362781190 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1417816598824509442

[h/t Qiviut (Faith is the antidote to fear. Mindset: be a victor, not a victim.)]Are Pfizer and Moderna misleading the public about the efficacy of their COVID vaccines by withholding the fact that there’s another way to parse their data — one that has more real-world significance?In 1954, writer and repentant cigarette industry lobbyist Darrell Huff wrote the best-selling book, “How to Lie with Statistics,” with the aim of teaching the general public how to decode the “secret language of statistics.”In his introduction, Huff wrote: “Averages and relationships and trends and graphs are not always what they seem.” He added:...

As the old saying goes, “There are three kinds of lies: lie, damned lies, and statistics.” It is of the statistics I wish to address today. I’ve always said, and will continue to say, that if you can control the unit of measure, you can control everything. It’s a pretty simple concept – if you get to determine what constitutes funny, you can make yourself the funniest. Same goes for fastest, smartest, best looking, whatever you can think of – if you get to decide what makes something what it is, you have absolute power. While most people wouldn’t reconstitute...

Based on official data from Open VAERS and the CDC, 5,993 Americans have died out of 146,171,792 Americans who are fully vaccinated as of June 11. This corresponds to a ratio of about four deaths out of 100,000 who are fully vaccinated.When VAERS death rates are compared with COVID-19 vaccination rates from December to June, and odd pattern emerges: Vaccine-related deaths decline just as vaccination rates reach their peak in April (Graph 1). This implies that the VAERS death rate started at 18 per 100,000 on the 1st of February, then dropped to around 3.1 per 100,000 on the 1st...
