Using the "Our Word in Data" website we have extracted the latest snapshot for each country of total vaccinations per hundred people and total 'covid deaths' per million. The full data by country - in order of vaccinations - is listed at the bottom of this page (all numbers rounded to 0 decimal places).
We use inverted commas for 'covid deaths' because (as readers of this blog will know) this is a very vague metric and we have no confidence that it is accurate or consistently collected for any country in the world. If the data were accurate, and if the vaccines worked as claimed, then what we should see when we plot the vaccinations against deaths is something like this:
i.e. the more vaccinations in a country the fewer deaths.
Obviously there are multiple confounding factors (other than inconsistent reporting) that can impact on the relationship (timing when covid first hit, average population age, population density, geographial location, access to healthcare, etc) not to mention all the missing factors previously discussed**. Ideally the deaths should also be restricted to post-vaccination roll out (difficult to do that using the Our World in Data spreadsheet). But it is still surprising that the following is the actual plot:
All pretty random*** but note the high number of low vaccination, low covid death countries (mainly in Africa) as shown in this map:
But what it really shows more than anything is how poor all the 'official' covid data are (look at the laughable China data) and, because of the universally poor data, how little evidence there is of either the severity of Covid or the effectiveness of any covid interventions.
This study argues that higher country vaccination rates actually causes higher mortality rates: Beattie, K. (2021). Worldwide Bayesian Causal Impact Analysis of Vaccine Administration on Deaths and Cases Associated with COVID-19: A BigData Analysis of 145 Countries. https://doi.org/http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.34214.65605
**As we have been saying since March 2020 all of the 'official' Covid data are essentially useless because they do not provide us with the necessary information to take account of all of the causal explanations for what is observed:

***For those who place value in correlation coefficients for such relationships (we don't) there is a significant positive correlation of 0.31 between number of vaccines and number of deaths
Thank you for posting this Norman.
You can use the #deepdives tag for posts like this going forward so that your post can be found easier and upvoted by our Curation Trail of 100 upvoters.
Also, would you mind mentioning Hive to your other social medias? We need to bring as many people over to Hive as possible! Later this month @v4vapid will be releasing deepdives.blog which will be a specific place to post content just like this. Your post would go onto the Hive blockchain like normal, but you would also earn a second token called Delve, which is a new cryptocurrency that will be for the truth/freedom community.
I will certainly mention Hive on twitter (I don't do Facebook).
Thanks, I really appreciate that!
Many of us are only on Hive. I used to have a twitter/facebook like 10 years ago but quit!
If you ever want to talk to someone about Hive and the origins of it or anything related to cryptocurrency I would be more than happy to talk about it with you sometime.
I (@truthforce writing) have been running @informationwar project under the tag #informationwar on Steem/Hive for over 4 years. Gathering up like minded people onto an upvote trail, and we go through and find great posts to upvote so people will have an incentive to post content to the Hive chain.
Thanks for reading!
Yeah, something tells me the numbers are off. China with only 3 deaths per million... really? I mean, really...
Congratulations @normanfenton! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain and have been rewarded with new badge(s):
Your next target is to reach 900 upvotes.
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking

Certainly the vaccine is not working as advertised.
Worse, safety of this vaccine is unknown. Many people around me are already suffering from something like headache, heart problems, or skin problems. They were perfectly healthy before vaccination.
