This falls under the umbrella of what I like to call Enron accounting where the numbers used for evaluation have footnotes that apply definitions that change the entire formula. On contract pricing it takes the form of revising billable items so evaluation includes routine costs like maintenance in residual value just by moving the category the cost is recorded. This is how we end up with $900 hammers etc.. Enron accounting is lucrative even when they get caught.
These are highly prized skills in the world of lobbyists legislation and Federal contracts. These loopholes and distorted reporting are government wide and underlie system wide corruption, nice illustration tyvm.
Yes, I think that is absolutely the situation. Science stats are being done like Enron kept its books. It’s much more prevalent than many appreciate, and it’s actually been going on for a long time. One example of this would be the rigging of cholesterol numbers to trigger statin drug prescription.
The challenge for public understanding, I think, is due to the fact that complex book keeping, like tax law, or biostatistics, is removed enough from common understanding (via technical language, layering, and obfuscation); when folks feel like they don’t understand something, they often will default to trusting ‘the experts’, instead of seeking more sources or educating themselves. It’s a kind of intellectual laziness, but understandable, because it takes a lot of time and effort for most folks.
In defense of overworked, over tired people everywhere, even w research the front groups and paid editorial and MSM spin make finding truth a pro sport.
The distortions and abuses are everywhere regulations and profits intersect. During the Reagan years I was a Beltway Bandit bidding Fed networking contracts and left from the level of corruption. From 1997 on my skills from the dark side have been used to expose frauds especially around toxic chemicals and gmo foods.
Folks can't begin to fathom the level of influence in everything from the 90 day rat studies to the labeling laws that go into manipulating public beliefs and product contents. We need a major system wide overhaul. Think your worst & it's worse.
I’m not so certain that Dr. Hughes’ post actually disproves the initial hypothesis. One would have to have more detail about the diagnosis practices in New Zealand, and more detail re: testing methods and distribution, especially following jab, in order to make that assessment.
I don’t know much about cycle threshold for PCR used in New Zealand, or if they (like the CDC recommended in the US) failed to test jabbed and unjabbed populations with the same CT. Based on US and UK practice, I might offer this hypothesis:
The inoculations actually manifest Covid in the jabbed (or greatly increase frequency) in the 10 days or so following uptake; however, prior to third round boosters, because these persons were identified as ‘unvaccinated’ up until 14 days after uptake, there can be a severe distortion in cases/hospitalizations/deaths in the ‘unvaccinated’ population.

Yes, everyone needs a kind of transformative ‘re-education’ so we can overhaul everything. Thank you for what you do!
Always my pleasure, knowledge is power that multiplies when we pass it on.
Lucky us! :~)
