England mortality data suggest systematic mis-categorisation of vaccine status
We examine the latest UK ONS vaccine mortality surveillance report which provides the necessary information to monitor this crucial comparison over time. At first glance the ONS data suggest that, in each of the older age groups, all-cause mortality is lower in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. Despite this apparent evidence to support vaccine effectiveness-at least for the older age groups-on closer inspection of this data, this conclusion is cast into doubt because of a range of fundamental inconsistencies and anomalies in the data.
By Occam's razor we believe the most likely explanations are systemic miscategorisation of deaths between the different categories of unvaccinated and vaccinated; delayed or non-reporting of vaccinations; systemic underestimation of the proportion of unvaccinated; and/or incorrect population selection for Covid deaths.
- Did these errors exist before, when the data showed unvax'd dying more?

Right-wing activists are openly 'weaponizing' Twitter's new private media policy.
"It's really important to view the current mass-reporting actions by the far right as just the latest salvo in an ongoing, concerted effort to memory-hole evidence of their crimes," said Chad Loder, an anti-fascist activist* who said they use their Twitter account to document examples of far-right extremism and police misconduct.

The optical isomer of menthol found in mint plants is (1R, 2S,5R), comprising up to 50% of peppermint oil. The lethal oral dose of menthol for humans is estimated at 50–500mg per kilogram of body weight. Menthol’s estimated lethal dose for humans via other routes (dermal, inhalation, injection, etc) is harder to locate.
