et tu, Snohomish? Another public health agency ignores public health

One of my very first Substack posts covered how Washington state was disappearing ‘inconvenient’ covid data. In that case, they were hiding the fact that hospitals were never in danger of being overrun. (Something that should have been obvious on April 8, 2020, when Inslee ordered the field hospital at Century Link to be dismantled)

Recently I detailed how King County was moving their goalposts to hide fading vaccine efficacy, disappearing almost all of the actual data on the site and only showing ‘age and time adjusted’ estimations based on OTHER estimations of vaccine uptake.

Sadly, Washington state hasn’t been the only place that’s doing this. Scotland is no longer going to publish its covid data.

Public Health Scotland will stop publishing data on covid deaths and hospitalisations by vaccination status - over concerns it is misrepresented by anti-vaxx campaigners.

But we don’t have to go across the world to find other examples. The CDC is hiding data right here at home!

For more than a year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has collected data on hospitalizations for Covid-19 in the United States and broken it down by age, race and vaccination status. But it has not made most of the information public.

Kristen Nordlund, a spokeswoman for the C.D.C., said the agency has been slow to release the different streams of data “because basically, at the end of the day, it’s not yet ready for prime time.” She said the agency’s “priority when gathering any data is to ensure that it’s accurate and actionable.”

Another reason is fear that the information might be misinterpreted, Ms. Nordlund said.

Yes, the priority of the agency that ‘suggested’ we all wear masks and that the vaccine would end the pandemic — even while knowing it would do nothing of the sort — is CLEARLY ensuring data is accurate and actionable.

Remember when the CDC pointed at the Kansas mask study as proof that masks worked?

Many of us immediately noticed what’s wrong with this chart: there are two different axes. In fact, when the data was shown with both lines on the same axis, the study actually showed masked counties ALWAYS had more covid than non-masked counties.

And CDC published this ‘recommendation’ in late November. Guess what had already happened between the end of study and the time the CDC published the recommendation? (Study duration in red boxes)

In other words, the original data was completely cherry-picked and the newest data had ALREADY blown the study out of the water. Both masked and unmasked counties saw huge increases at the start of the winter surge. Yet the CDC still pointed to this study as proof of mask efficacy, KNOWING IT WAS BULLSHIT.
