This shouldn’t be too surprising that if you vaccine the elder there is a chance they will die from it – hopefully small – the older more frailer the increase in odds. The below nursing home patients all 80+ https://nypost.com/2021/01/15/23-die-in-norway-after-receiving-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine/amp/

“Twenty-three people died in Norway within days of receiving their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, with 13 of those deaths — all nursing home patients — apparently related to the side effects of the shots, health officials said.

Common reactions to the vaccine, including fever and nausea, “may have contributed to a fatal outcome in some frail patients,” Sigurd Hortemo, chief physician at the Norwegian Medicines Agency, said in a Friday statement.

All 13 were nursing home patients and at least 80 years old. While officials aren’t expressing serious concern, they are adjusting their guidance on who should receive the vaccine.

The news comes just over a week after officials reported the deaths of just two nursing home residents after they received the Pfizer jab. “

Another common drug – interestingly it is a cholesterol drug. Perhaps a vegan diet – 0 cholesterol – could be a solution? Looking for study that goes beyond the typical demographic stats on deaths and sickness and covers lifestyle – I suspect not many vegans impacted by covid. https://bgr.com/2021/01/15/covid-treatment-drug-cholesterol-fenofibrate-ticor/

“A new study suggests that the anti-cholesterol drug Fenofibrate, also known as Ticor, can help treat coronavirus patients.

In lab testing with the drug, the coronavirus completely went away after just five days.

Clinical trials with Fenofibrate began a few weeks ago and the results should be available in the next few months.”

“some researchers speculate that this is why people with comorbidities like diabetes and heart disease tend to experience more severe coronavirus symptoms. With this information in tow, researchers from Hebrew University began looking at several FDA-approved drugs designed to combat the accumulation of fat. Before long, researchers began to hone in on Fenofibrate, a drug that’s sold under the name Tricor. The drug arrived in the mid-70s and is currently used by upwards of 10 million people with high cholesterol.”

We need common sense brought back to policy makers from NY to UK – https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13759626/doctors-forced-nhs-throw-away-covid-vaccines/

“LOCAL NHS leaders are forcing doctors to throw away Covid vaccines rather than give second doses, a report has revealed.

GPs organising clinics at short notice told the Telegraph that they are being warned against using leftover doses on patients who have already had their first jab.”

Total global deaths over 2 Million with a fatality rate hovering around 2%. US continues to show big numbers 3.4K deaths 215K confirmation

As expected its CA leading the US by large lead.

LA county way up there – NY is creeping on the top list. No TX counties showed up today – probably a datafeed issue here.

LA confirmed per capita 10% now! Positive sign is confirmation may have peak and perhaps death might.
