What I think would be great is if you could not only include your primary articles, but also include the main attacks from the media/science hitmen since your original articles came out, and address those as well. That way we'd basically end up with a guidebook on how to convince the people we care about what the REAL numbers are.

Where WERE the numbers? (past tense)

Disagree. Stay in the present (tense); the game’s not up!

Rather than writing a history book, I suggest that you write a textbook for the mass market (a successor to Darrel Huff’s 1954 classic, “How to Lie with Statistics”) that uses the Covid fiasco as a teaching moment to enhance data literacy for everyone (and especially those responsible for public policy), with emphasis on such topics as data quality, integrity, analysis, interpretation, extrapolation and forecasting.

Please make sure to include information on how easy it is to skew data when you don’t count someone as vaccinated until 2 weeks after their second shot

Covid By Numbers.

Sign me up for a paperback version, Sir Normski.

Keep the title but maybe include a subtitle, such as ‘A statistical analysis of the Covid ‘pandemic’.

I think the same about keeping the title. The subtitle would appeal to more people if it were briefer, more clear that the book runs counter-narrative or reveals something new and important, and especially if it were less academic sounding. Many people use their fingers to do addition. "Statistical analysis" would turn them away. "Numbers" OTOH can be swallowed by more people.

Your potential audience is much larger than this blog. I think "Where are the Numbers" is too vague a title. (though the suggested subtitle above is a welcome addition).

You want a title that says this is an authoritative analysis of Covid statistics (or numbers). Perhaps "Covid: an Independent Statistical Analysiis (free from the pervasive influence of vaccine money)." That is too long, perhaps, but it does capture the concept I would want the title to put across... if there were a way to say "written by experts in statistical analysis" I would include that also, but that is likely a bridge too far...

Or Maybe: "Here are the Numbers: A stastical analysis...."

Absolutely right about getting a physical copy out. The coming tyrannical global regime will censor the internet and erase history. Sell your books w/o keeping a names list that the gestapo can track. Sounds almost as paranoid as government agencies tracking citizens to censor them for telling the truth. Oh wait, that already happened.

The establishment could decide to go Fahrenheit 451. Anyone who is caught with a paper book will be sent to a "reeducation camp". A pdf file can at least be stored on an encrypted drive.

An excellent idea....books are for keeps, an un eraseable record of an era, which generations can refer to, hold up as 'evidence'. Title suggestion, "The Covid Years - The Distortion of Numbers", or, "Covid and How Numbers Became 'Cases'", or, "How Numbers Can Be Played- Covid-19". Hard back or paperback, it is very well worth doing. Perhaps hardback form gives more academic 'gravitas'.

Superb-look forward to purchasing. Please include a chapter that pulls all this together within an exploration as to where this leaves medical ethics.

"Where are the Numbers" is a recognisable title and defines the problems nicely. It will be generally applicable so an ebook would be the best for many of us who would find it difficult to obtain a printed book.

Thank you.

One thing that I suspect many have been wondering is; Who or what was really the driving force behind the fraud?

The synchronised censorship & suppression, the standardised & approved narratives, the introduction of government by penalty & impediment (Canada led the way, closely followed by Australia & NZ) and so on.

Yes - the role of the WEF conspiring with the UN, WHO etc., is pretty clear, but what were the mechanisms? Why did Whitty, BoJo & others change their minds so quickly? Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates & the others are plausibly promoted as the evil masterminds, but I don't really buy that. Somebody or something is pulling their strings.

When I looked into the climate change racket twenty five years ago, I became convinced that the driving force behind it was a bloke called Maurice Strong. He set things in motion and created self perpetuating structures that have mushroomed & are responsible for the continuing alternative genocide.

Who is the Maurice Strong of this complementary bollox? I know you can't answer these questions, but the absence of meaningful 'official' numbers has been no accident. There should be some reference to it.

Robert F Kennedy Jr says the CIA is behind the pressure. (Sorry, I didn't keep the citation.) He says for instance that the CIA puts people in news rooms. Ray McGovern About the MICIMATT (using the term here in reference to the mess in Ukraine, not the van, but the principle apples), the: "Military, industrial, Congressional intelligence, media, academia, Think tank complex. Why do I say media, as if in all caps? Because media is the fulcrum. It’s the basis, you can’t make this MICIMATT work without the media. And who controls the media? The same corporations that control Raytheon, Lockheed and the rest of them." Citation: https://scheerpost.com/2023/07/02/ray-mcgovern-russias-coup-is-actually-bidens-disaster/".

Aargh. 2 typos missed. Should read, "the principle applies", not "apples", and should read "not the fax" rather than "not the van".

I recently discovered that you can edit replies. Underneath your text there is a little heart for 'liking', a small balloon for replies and to the right of that there are three little dots. Click on the dots and a dropdown appears containing an 'edit' button.

A book is good because the publishing event creates a splash, whereas substack can be ignored to some extent as the haunt of those terrible conspiracy theorists.
