Two of the finest countries to compare re vaccine vs not-vaccine, are Israel & Palestine, for several perfectly cogent reasons. 1) They are geographically & climactically adjacent, indeed, Palestine IS Israel & Israel IS Palestine. 2) They have vastly different approaches to covid vaccination & 3) Israel is comparatively affluent with an advanced healthcare system while Palestine labours in comparative poverty, without an advanced healthcare system.
Nonetheless, barely vaccinated Palestine has fared far better than highly vaccinated Israel.
"The Middle Eastern states of Israel and Palestine show contrasting figures in both vaccination rates and case counts amid the ongoing pandemic. Israel recently saw a massive spike in Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) cases despite three-fifths of its population being vaccinated. Meanwhile, Palestine saw its COVID-19 cases drop even though more than 90 percent of its population remains unvaccinated.
Naturopathic doctor Suneil Jain pointed out the stark contrast in a tweet. His post said: “Palestine: 8.2 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. Israel: 62 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. Guess which one is doing better?”"
USA's COVID DEATHS WERE !!! ~38.6 TIMES HIGHER !!! THAN PAPUA NEW GUINEA's COVID DEATHS, said another way, PAPUA NEW GUINEA's COVID DEATHS WERE !!! ONLY ~2.6 % !!! OF THE NUMBER OF USA COVID DEATHS, as of Jan 10, 2022, adjusted for population.
As of Jan 10, 2022 as per "Trends in Number of COVID-19 Cases and Deaths in the US Reported to CDC, by State/Territory" covid deaths in the USA were ~ 844,000. in a USA population of 333 million (U.S. and World Population Clock). As per the lancet link above "Disrupted care in Papua New Guinea: the harms of COVID-19" "Meanwhile, Papua New Guinea's COVID-19 epidemic has worsened. As of Jan 10, (2022) officially just over 36 000 cases have been reported, with 591 deaths, .... the country's total population is around 9 million".
333 divided by 9 = 37, the usa population is 37 times higher, SO for a population based equivalent number of deaths multiply 591 times 37 = 21,867 or 2.6% of usa covid deaths or usa covid deaths were 38.6 times higher than Papua New Guinea's covid deaths
Just a note that the John Hopkins Covid deaths listing from Australia gives a false impression of how death rates have changed, and also appears to give an erroneous idea of the time period when Oz had highest Covid deaths (it was January '22, not late winter that year).
I would hazard a guess that these discrepancies are partly due to John Hopkins taking reported deaths as all having occurred when the reports were made rather than smoothing out the figures (necessary since some states reported deaths in bulk lots rather than as they occurred), rather than being due to any particular organisation acting nefariously. This could make data represented in graph form appear to have higher 'bumps' than if it were given differently. But that may only be a partial explanation and I'm interested to hear others' thoughts.
Australia's death rates from Covid have improved considerably, which is not reflected in that JH graph. However, they are still far too high amongst the older age groups.
Good article. I obtained my supply of IVM early in the pandemic and has it on hand as insurance against a serious SARS infection. I learned the history of its discovery and usage, and understood that it has been “off label” for many years. Big Pharma could not make Big Profits from it so they spent Big$ on a smear campaign to discredit it. Government elites and the media joined in on the campaign much to their eternal disgrace.

Comparing the peak deaths that occurred just after each highest peak of infections, I get a death rate of about 3% in Papua Niugini versus 0.08% in Australia suggesting that getting vaccinated would have been advantageous. But the graph for Australia does not show deaths due to vaccine side effects. I may be wrong, but I heard they could be as high as 0.5%. If that is the case, getting vaccinated against the early lethal strain of covid19 would have made sense, but would make less sense now that the virus has evolved into less lethal forms.
Thank you Dr. McM for this beyond interesting post.
Thank you
Where is the video that was banned from You Tube that you posted?
Nice job on this one. Excellent.

You can compare the graph above to the government-compiled figures here: https://www.health.gov.au/health-alerts/covid-19/weekly-reporting?language=und
and see the table of deaths per month here: https://www.abs.gov.au/articles/covid-19-mortality-australia-deaths-registered-until-30-june-2023
