COVID Fact-Check: “ICUs Are Filled With The Unvaccinated”

Via Off-Guardian.org,

A few days ago Dr Hillary Jones, whilst being interviewed on Lorraine Kelly, claimed:

90% of people in hospital are unvaccinated”.

Similarly, last week, Kevin Maguire claimed on Jeremy Vine’s show that:

The unvaccinated are filling hospital beds, they’re in ICUs taking up precious resources – there are hospital waiting lists going up because there are so many unvaccinated people in hospitals”

Television presenters and news headlines across the United Kingdom have commonly referred to hospitals being filled with unvaccinated covid19 patients.

As if it could ever be considered evidence of anything, an anonymous “doctor” wrote a piece for The Guardian, which he filled with nameless anecdotal evidence, and emotively headlined:

ICU is full of the unvaccinated – my patience with them is wearing thin

This claim is regularly used as an argument for vaccine mandates, and/or unvaxxed-only lockdowns.

But is it true?

In a word, no.

ICUs are not “full” of unvaccinated covid patients, they’re not even full of covid cases. In fact, they’re not even full at all.

As of last week, NHS England’s own bed statistics reported that England has 4330 available critical care beds, of which 894 (21%) are being used by Covid patients, 2608 (60%) non-Covid patients and 828 (19%) were empty.

So, England’s critical care beds are not even 90% full, let alone 90% full of unvaccinated covid patients.

But let’s be charitable and assume these people misspoke or communicated their point badly. Let’s assume they meant 90% of covid hospitalisations are unvaccinated.

That, at least, is true right? Wrong.

The actual number is 35.4%

According to the UK’s Health Security Agency data (page 31 of this document) 6639 patients were admitted to hospital “with Covid” in the weeks 44-47 of this year. Of those 6639, 2355 were unvaccinated.

So unvaccinated people do not even make up the majority of Covid cases, let alone the majority of ICU admissions in general.

So, even going by the official statistics – which we’ve previously shown are routinely inflated to make the “pandemic” appear frightening – the claim is incorrect.

And that doesn’t even account for the fact that, according to Public Health England, a “Covid hospitalisation” is anyone admitted to hospital for any reason within 28 days of a positive Covid test. This could include people who are admitted to hospital for something else and then happen to test positive while they are there.

We could also discuss the tiny number of hospital beds available in this country, which has more than halved since the 1980s, whilst the population has exploded in that time.

But that’s really an article for another day.

ICU’s are designed, by law, to be able to be at 150% of “capacity”, so 90% is low census, and generally staff get sent home when census is low. These are not urgent numbers.

They will never stop lying about this. Learn to see the truth.

ICU “capacity” is also constantly being adjusted as needed. It is not a fixed number, because that is not the industry standard. Just one of many media cons.

Hospital capacity is based off available staff, which they are firing for non-vaxxed status.

Same issue locally for us. The local news station publishes the daily Covid-1984 numbers and just loves to focus on hospitalizations and the unvaxxed. But you have to look into their data. For example, they say:

81 County residents are hospitalized.
54 unvaccinated/27 vaccinated

Then they say:

17 of total hospitalized are in the ICU.
12 unvaccinated/5 vaccinated

17 ICU patients sounds scary, but that is broken up into 3 area hospitals. Then they list all of the age groups:

60-69 years old: 22 unvaccinated/4 vaccinated
70-79 years old: 14 unvaccinated/10 vaccinated
80-89 years old: 3 unvaccinated/8 vaccinated

So 61 out of the 81 hospitalized are over 60 years old. As a matter of fact they say: “The average age of the vaccinated patients currently hospitalized is 72 years old.”. Other than a traumatic injury, the type of people hospitalized and in the ICU are older folk who are frail and dying. That has always been the case, but now they “have Covid” so it is all of a sudden a focus point for their data.

The hospitals are not overrun and neither are the ICUs. The ICU patients represent the standard patients that are generally admitted into them. There are no patients in the 13-60 range that are in the ICU, just old people as it has always been. Fear propaganda at work.

And how many are there BECAUSE of the jab, and how many are classified as “unvaccinated” because they are within a few weeks of their last jab? Change the meanings of words as it suits you and you can pretty much get any results you NEED.

I’m a retired MD and have a chronic medical condition that will eventually kill me; actually, that describes all of us, but I can put a name on my ‘illness’ beside ‘old age’.

I worked in hospitals nearly full-time from 1976 through to 2017; these days, and maybe forever, avoid hospitals if you possibly can. I believe most of us, certainly the oldsters, would prefer to die at home rather than in some isolated high-tech ICU.

If you haven’t had a booster you will be considered unvaccinated.
If you have and are in the ICU for another reason . You will not be classified the same way.

They will use selective statistics to continue lying.

Remember the bullshit about all these doctors and nurses and hospital administrators being such God-like figures, heroes? There they were, slaving night and day to save us all, risking their booties for the millions dying of Covid in the streets; I am sure we all remember the garbage trucks picking up the dead bodies. It hurt me to bundle what was left of Grandma into a plastic bag and set her by the curb. Turns out that many of the sick people would have been better off taking their chances at home. In most places these paragons of virtue and bravery had plenty of time to do Tik Tok dances with Negro “doctors” when they weren’t murdering patients by sticking plastic tubes down their throats. $25.00 worth of Ivermectin would have saved most of the victims. Hell, even the Indian government figured this out.

The whole perverted line of crap has just worn too thin. Fauci should have a rope around his neck, Whitmer, DeBlasio, and Newsom should be stood up before a wall and shot, and the entire Australian regime should be forced to dance naked in the streets before they are served up to the precious Abo’s in a gigantic cherry pie. That horse-faced bitch from New Zealand deserves to get the Joan of Arc treatment.

Just got back from Whole Paycheck. About half the people had dirty rags on their faces. It was all I could do to keep from walking up and punching one of them right in the nose. I am sick to death of these idiots and their fear and their submission.

But do not despair. The tide is turning. The scam becomes more ridiculous by the day. God bless DeSantis.

Here is the other problem.

There are only two categories being used by NHS.

Vaxxed and Unvaxxed.

To be considered vaxxed one must be jabbed twice and fourteen days clear of last being stuck. Worse still in next couple of weeks the NHS will, following the lead of Israel, likely change the parameters on being part of the chosen class. Count on them moving the goal post once again, declaring that anyone six months past last immunization being forced to reverting to being one of the untermensch, the unclean, the unjabbed.

What I was going to say was that it really depends upon how unvaccinated is defined but you did it already so I will just say what you said.

Except to say it is probably a lot worse than even we think. I suspect an invasion of body snatchers will be upon us soon: prepare the pods.

Iska Waran
Iska Waran

As much as Fauci and Wallensky would like to declare that anyone whose vaccination was six or more months ago has reverted to unvaxxed status, I predict they won’t do it anytime soon. Too few people are getting boosters, and the government doesn’t want the number of “fully vaxxed” to fall from 200 mil to 100 mil.

Rise Up

There are not anywhere near 200 million people vaxed in the U.S. 200 million DOSES, perhaps (multiple jabs for a single person). Even that is doubtful.

Everything is exaggerated so don’t believe any of the numbers.

Everybody’s hunch about the true numbers of the vaccinated depends upon their own circle. Almost everyone I know is vaccinated – family, friends (even Republicans and theoretical conservatives), co-workers, etc.

Everyone affiliated with or working in a hospital lies. Done.

To that end, I have just ordered some books:

James Grundvig: “Master Manipulator – The explosive true story of fraud, embezzlement, and government betrayal at the CDC.”

Peter Gotzsche: “Mammography screening – Truth, lies and controversy.”

I also enjoyed the book by the same author:

Peter Gotzsche: “Deadly medicines and organised crime – How big pharma has corrupted healthcare.”

Two other ones that I have already read, the first one being a classic of sorts:

Suzanne Humphries: “Dissolving illusions – Disease, vaccines, and the forgotten history.”

and her autobiography: Suzanne Humphries, M.D.: “Rising from the dead.”

I am looking for a copy of

Peter Duesberg: “Inventing the AIDS virus”

but it sells for $500+ on ebay.

I really think we should have a monthly column for book recommendations.

Our state has a whopping 29% of ICU beds tied up with covid patients or at least patients testing positive with the wonderful PCR test. Hospital overwhelmed with covod! Mostly false!

John Pietrusiewicz

Almost all cases of Covid are now the vaxxed. The nurse whistle blower from upstate New York about a month ago on Stew Peters, and other places clearly showed, at her hospital, 100% of the cases were the vaccinated. 18 of like 22 patients were in the hospital system where they got their shots. The other four received their shots from another provider. She had to ask them in person if they were vaxxed. All said yes. As an insider, it was easy for her to get this information. On a separate issue, Florida also had no covid cases in all counties for 7 days, per Google. The vaxxed and masked are the most at risk.

They are lying to us?! Shockface. First thing I learned in my college statistic class is you can do anything you want with statistics. You can take the same data and depending on how it is presented and manipulated you can support both sides of an issue with your “data”. Doing that is practically a religion for economists because their “data” is so subjective. So, when I see statements about this percentage this or that it does not even register. Then you get the we have “data” to back it up! Of course you do. As the article below clearly illustrates the data has been massaged. Determining the actual ground truth becomes extremely difficult. The further away you are from gathering the actual data yourself the more unreliable it becomes. It requires trust from the audience. After being lied to by gov’t media etc. for so long I have zero trust in “news articles” and see all data from these sources as suspect.

“So, when I see statements about this percentage this or that it does not even register.”

I kind of like statistics when used correctly. Statistics can’t “prove” anything. What it can do is assign a probability to the data you have, indicating the likelihood (probability) that these numbers come from random fluctuations in sampling.

What could go wrong? Plenty! Starting out with an invalid hypothesis, too small a sampling size, non-random sampling, poor survey design (usually reflected as biases the designer has), showing percentages that are meaningless, scaling manipulation, and on and on. If done right, it ain’t easy!

Finally, even if everything was done perfectly, there is the problem of interpretation. What do the data MEAN? Things can get really fucked up in the final report. For example …

—1) Let’s say there are 2,000,000 men in Oopalumpa

—2) 200 of them have only one leg

—3) Total number of male legs in Oopalumpa : 3,999,900

—4) Average number of legs: 1.99995

—5) Therefore: 99.995% of all men in Oopalumpa have a higher than average number of legs!

I don’t mean to sound smarter than the average bear, but folks who don’ have at least a rudimentary understanding of statistics should not even bother believing a word that is written, unless it’s from a very very reliable source you trust.
