Thanks so much for this analysis jestre. I live in Alberta, so this is of particular relevance to me.
I see that the stats for Ontario are showing that some time around Christmas the Covid case rate for both the partially vaccinated and the fully vaccinated vaulted above those for the unvaccinated. See the graph here https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data/case-numbers-and-spread, labelled "COVID-19 cases by vaccination status". Currently the groupings by age group for cases per 100,000 are out of date and do not show this inversion of efficacy as shown by all age groups. When I checked that website a few days ago the groupings were not so out of date and the inversion did show, so maybe they are deliberately fudging the graphs.
What do you think the explanation is for why Ontario shows (or at least seems to show) that the unvaccinated are actually less susceptible to getting Covid? One possibility is, of course, that vaccinations really do have negative efficacy against Omicron. If that is the explanation why does the Alberta data not show something similar?
I appreciate your question about the value of freedom, and I’d like to add a comment to it. It’s not just that we have, on one side of the balance, lives at stake, and, on the other, freedom. Freedom itself is entangled with preserving lives. If we go full totalitarian (and we’re already part way there) then, if something happens that does not fit with the calcified narrative, that narrative will prevent adjustment to reality. A case in point: If negative efficacy of vaccines for Omicron is/becomes the reality then the “safe and effective” mantra drowning out all other voices will bring about loss of life as well as loss of freedom.
Also VAIDS - vaccine acquired immune deficiency is real and we will see more negative effects as time goes along. Unfortunately it’s not in the government or sickcare system’s interest to be honest about it, we will have to do our own analysis.
You are so right. Once our Charter of Freedoms and Rights is trampled upon, it will never be the same, we will never get them back. The media and the government has been lying to us from the beginning. We need more people like you who use data for intelligent decision making and not propaganda. I think we should learn a lesson from this dark episode.
The virus is just the excuse for everything else. Totalitarianism was always the end game. They’ve never cared about saving lives.
Or what about promoting a healthy lifestyle and vitamin D and using early treatment, thus saving most of those who would die.

Freedom is worth life.
Thanks for your analysis. It is mind boggling how so much public data is flawed and how few people speak up.
Great analysis! Yes, jabs appear to show incremental benefits but not enough to justify totalitarianism.
Your data doesn’t factor in increased natural immunity in the unvaxed. What is an unvaxed and unexposed risk?
Conversely, your data doesn’t consider vaccine injuries which is a whole other can of worms.
Great stuff! Thanks!
