Day 754: The Billing Data

The bad cat reports on a treasure trove of vaccine side effect data: insurance billing in Germany.

this seems a sensible approach.

doctors [may] avoid filing vaccine adverse events reports with agencies. it’s extra work and they are under pressure not to. BUT they are going to bill for treatment. because doctors always bill for treatment.

The adverse event rate was many times that in the German version of VAERS, although the data is only for early 2021 so far. It may prove even worse later in the vaccine rollout. All-cause mortality also rose above average later in the rollout, despite the increasing immunity of the population to COVID.

P.S. Eugyppius also takes a look at the insurance data.

P.P.S. Massachusetts cases were up a sixteenth of a percentage point today, though on account of the holiday, this may be a displaced Tuesday lull and not fully representative of current case counts.
