Scotland: vaccinated get sick Covid-19 4 times more often
Official figures from Public Health Scotland show that over the past
month the fully vaccinated population were on average twice as
likely to die of Covid-19 than the not-vaccinated population, with
a single weeks figures showing that the fully vaccinated were
statistically four times more likely to die of Covid-19 than the
unvaccinated.
BBC News wont tell you that official figures show the Fully
Vaccinated are 4 times more likely to die of Covid-19 than the
Unvaccinated suggesting Antibody-Dependent Enhancement
BBC News wont tell you that official figures show the risk of
death is 4 times higher among the Fully Vaccinated than the
Unvaccinated suggesting Antibody-Dependent Enhancement.
These figures are evidence of suspected antibody dependent
enhancement (ADE), a phenomenon where antibodies can enhance
virus entry and replication in cells.
The antibodies generated during an immune response recognise
and bind to a pathogen, but they are unable to prevent infection.
Instead, these antibodies act as a Trojan horse, allowing the
pathogen to get into cells and exacerbate the immune response.
The result is often more severe illness than if the person had been
unvaccinated, and this is precisely what we are now seeing with
official figures from Scotland.
Public Health Scotland publish a weekly Covid-19 Statistical Report,
the latest of which was published Wednesday 26th January. The
latest report contains figures on Covid-19 cases and hospitalisations
by vaccination status between 25th Dec 21 and 22nd Jan 22, and
figures on Covid-19 deaths by vaccination status between 18th
Dec 21 and 14th Jan 22.
The new figures show that the vaccinated population still accounted
for the vast majority of Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations, and deaths
over the past month, just as they have for the last several months,
despite the fast acting Booster jab campaign in December
(

Government institutions have tried to justify the vaccinated
accounting for the majority of cases, hospitalisations and deaths by
claiming this is to be expected when a higher proportion of the
population are vaccinated, so they have instead used rates per
100,000 individuals to prove that the Covid-19 vaccines are
effective.
But for months on end the case-rate per 100,000 has been highest
among the fully vaccinated population, and the problem authorities
have now is that the hospitalisation and death rates per 100,000 are
now also highest among the fully vaccinated population.
The following graph shows the age standardised Covid-19
hospitalisation rates per 100,000 individuals by vaccination status
in Scotland. The data has been extracted from table 14, found on
page 44 of the PHS Covid-19 Statistical report published Wednesday
26th Jan 22 (

The highest hospitalisation rate (
https://bit.ly/3rUPPzT) in the
past month among the fully vaccinated was recorded as 63.11 per
100,000 individuals in the week beginning 1st Jan 22.
But at the same time the rate per 100,000 unvaccinated individuals
was recorded as being 45.25. Meaning during this week the fully
vaccinated were statistically 1.4 times more likely to be
hospitalised with Covid-19 than the unvaccinated.
The 4 week average age-standardised hospitalisation rates per
100,000 individuals equate to 41.33 among the not-vaccinated,
but 46.44 among the fully vaccinated, meaning on average the
fully vaccinated have been 1.12 times more likely to be hospitalised
with Covid-19 than the not-vaccinated over the past month.
The following graph shows the age standardised Covid-19 death
rates per 100,000 individuals by vaccination status in Scotland.
The data has been extracted from table 15, found on page 50 of
the PHS Covid-19 Statistical report published Wednesday 26th
Jan 22 (
https://bit.ly/3KOW5BR).
The highest death-rate (
https://bit.ly/3g7dJCw) in the past month
among the fully vaccinated was recorded as 14.05 per 100,000
individuals in the week beginning 8th Jan 22.
But at the same time the rate per 100,000 unvaccinated individuals
was recorded as being 10.4. Meaning during this week the fully
vaccinated were statistically 1.4 times more likely to die of
Covid-19 than the unvaccinated.
However, the most concerning figures came in the week beginning
18th Dec 21. During these seven days the death-rate per 100,000
was recorded as 6.55 in the fully vaccinated, but just 1.69 in the
unvaccinated. Therefore, during this week the fully vaccinated
were statistically 4 times more likely to die of Covid-19 than the
not-vaccinated.
The 4 week average age-standardised death rates per 100,000
individuals equate to 6.2 among the not-vaccinated, but 10 among
the fully vaccinated, meaning on average the fully vaccinated have
been 1.6 times more likely to die of Covid-19 than the not-vaccinated
over the past month.
We should not be seeing these kind of figures if the Covid-19
vaccines really are 95% effective at preventing death. What we are
seeing here is that the Covid-19 vaccines are increasing the risk
of death suggesting they are causing antibody-dependent enhancement.
These are extremely concerning figures and we imagine Public Health
Scotland will refuse to publish them in future reports sometime soon
if this trend continues, and we dont imagine youll be hearing about
them on BBC News any time soon.
