CDC is misleading the public by reporting the per 100,000 rate instead of the actual percentages
CDC is misleading the public by reporting “per 100,000” rather than actual numbers. The chart above makes it look like the Native American population is being ravaged by Covid-19, but is misleading due to small percent of total population.
Per 100,000 is a rate, not an actual number. It is only good for comparing within a fixed population/ group, not between different sized populations/groups. This applies to different racial/ethnic groups, age groups, states, counties. The smaller the total population, the larger the “per 100,000” appears. If a population is 10 and only 1 is affected, that is 10,000 per 100,000. If the population is 1000 and 1 is affected, that is 100 per 100,000. The technique magnifies results in smaller populations and reduces results in larger populations.
Example: January, 2021 data from USAfacts.org reported deaths per 100,000 by ethnic group. Each group has a different size and percent of total population. Deaths per 100,000 is reported so that Native Americans appear to be the most affected by far because the population is relatively small. See table below.
| Ethnic Group | Group Population | Group as Percent of US Pop. | Covid Deaths per 100,000 | Number of Covid Deaths | Covid Deaths as percent of total deaths |
| Native American | 6,371,200 | 2 | 285.1 | 18,164 | 3.0 |
| Black | 40,138,560 | 12.6 | 227.1 | 91,154 | 15 |
| Hispanic | 53,836,640 | 16.9 | 185.7 | 99,975 | 16.5 |
| White | 197,507,200 | 62 | 190.8 | 376,843 | 62 |
| Asian | 16,565,120 | 5.2 | 123 | 20,375 | 3.4 |
By converting the per 100,000 results reported into actual numbers and percentage of the total deaths, the picture is quite different and similar to the percent of US population for each group. The huge disparity has disappeared. Blacks and Native Americans appear to be slightly more affected, while Hispanics and Asian are slightly less affected than their population.

A new epidemiology study reports that natural immunity confers better protection against COVID than current vaccines. I’ve been publishing JunkScience.com for 25+ years and can’t think of a single epidemiology study I’ve seen that was worth anything. 31 more words

Media Hype about “Long Covid”
Science Norway reports Poor studies on long Covid are sensationalized by the media Excerpts in italics with my bolds.
Many recent reports in the media have given the impression that people are experiencing major long-term effects after having even mild Covid-19. This impression does not correspond with the knowledge we have accumulated so far.
We must dedramatise the long-term effects of Covid-19, often referred to as long Covid. The media have a responsibility in this regard. They must become more critical of the research methods used in the studies they refer to.
Most infectious diseases with severe symptoms will to some extent be accompanied by long-term effects. Most infectious diseases with mild symptoms will cause few short-term effects.
More and more studies are showing that this is probably also the case for Covid-19. It is vital that more high-quality studies are carried out to examine this problem.

John Tierney writes at City Journal The Panic Pandemic.
The first part of the article is a refresher on how it happened that all those who talked reasonably in the face of the panic narrative, were silenced and banished from public discourse. Included are many recognizable names: John Ioannidis, Jay Bhattacharya, Thomas Benfield, Stefan Baral, Martin Kulldorff, Sunetra Gupta, and the most reviled heretic, Scott Atlas. The excerpts below in italics (with my bolds and images) express Tierney’s conclusions to take away from this sorry mess.
Fearmongering from journalists, scientists, and politicians did more harm than the virus.
The United States suffered through two lethal waves of contagion in the past year and a half. The first was a viral pandemic that killed about one in 500 Americans—typically, a person over 75 suffering from other serious conditions. The second, and far more catastrophic, was a moral panic that…
