Global COVID-19 Pandemic Outcomes: Dissecting a Failed Strategy

Abstract

Objectives to assess COVID-19 mortality rates per country population. To determine what if any independent country-specific variables from 9 different databases were correlated. Design population based retrospective cohort study. Setting analysis of global COVID-19 treatment and containment strategies using data from 9 worldwide websites. Participants 108 countries worldwide. Interventions none. Main Outcome Measures were COVID-19 death rates per country population analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. The main outcome parameters were to determine if there are any correlations between the percentage of countrywide COVID-19 deaths/population by the countries’ percent vaccinated. Secondary outcome measures include the effect of other independent variables on COVID-19 death rates per country population including: health expenditures per capita, annual income per capita, COVID-19 tests per 1000 people, stringency index (a measure of each countries containment strategies), hydroxychloroquine score (a measure of each countries use), ivermectin score (a measure of each countries use), hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and specific countries and geographic locations. Results COVID-19 vaccination rates ranged from 0-99% in 108 countries. Univariate analysis demonstrates the following independent variables to correlate with COVID-19 deaths/population (correlation coefficient, p value): countrywide COVID-19 vaccination rates (+0.2936, p=0.002); healthcare costs per capita (+0.3212, p=0.0007), income per capita (+0.3051, p=0.0013), COVID-19 tests per 1000 population (+0.6981 p=0.0307); stringency index (+0.3098, p=0.0011); hydroxychloroquine index (-0.1337, p=0.0678); and ivermectin index (-0.1383, p=0.1535). Conclusions Increasing rates of COVID-19 vaccination are associated with increase COVID-19 death rates per country population (p=0.002). Other variables associated include healthcare costs per capita (+0.3212, p=0.0007), income per capita (+0.3051, p=0.0013), COVID-19 tests per 1000 population (+0.6981 p=0.0307); and stringency index (+0.3098, p=0.0011).

COVID-19 & Disaster Capitalism - Part II

“…To evaluate effectiveness of social containment measures we developed a stringency index based on a binary (0,1) weighting of 11 parameters: mandates, masking, social distancing, curfews, quarantine, business/school closings, banning or limiting public gatherings, lockdowns, travel ban, contact tracing, and PCR testing. Results were unambiguous: no benefit was conferred by containment measures or vaccination initiatives; to the contrary we observed trending towards increased mortality in countries with higher vaccine rates and per capita income levels [25]. The pandemic management strategy, as global caseload numbers already indicate, was an unmitigated failure.…”

Intravenous high dose vitamin C and ozonated saline effective treatment for Covid -19: The Evolution of Local Standard of Care

“…Not only were there untold unnecessary deaths from Covid -19 infection, but there have also been tens of millions killed and injured with an absurd experimental gene therapy that profited only the wealthy corporatists. Unfortunately, the deaths and morbidity continue from these experimental shots [80,83]. This is exactly why the "third world countries" fared so much better during the COVID-19 pandemic; the local on the ground physicians rejected the ridiculous narratives of the global elite that were planned only to benefit the elite with massive pharmaceutical profits.…”

Frecuencia de anemia y principales etiologías en pacientes con diagnóstico reciente de enfermedad renal crónica sin terapia dialítica

“…La presencia de anemia en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica no dialítica (ERCND) puede dar lugar a una serie de complicaciones, entre las que se incluye aceleración del deterioro renal (8,9), afectación en la calidad de vida (10), mayor número de hospitalizaciones con estancias más prolongadas (11) y menor sobrevida a largo plazo (12)(13)(14).…”
