An interesting piece by Prof Norman Fenton was published just after New Year. It concerns official government data on Scottish cardiac ambulance calls. Worth reading if you haven't seen it.
Scottish cardiac ambulance data shows worrying increase in incidents
In early 2021, Professor Martin Neil and I wrote about the stark difference in trends between the ‘official’ UK Government data on Covid case numbers and the number of 999 (emergency) and other ambulance calls for Covid triage:
In our view, the ambulance data was a far more reliable indicator of Covid illness than the ‘case’ numbers and showed that, while there was a genuine peak in March 2020, there were only small seasonal increases thereafter. This contrasted with the official claims that, for example, during the winter of 2020–21, the number of Covid cases was five times higher than the March 2020 peak.
Consequently, I was intrigued this week when David Scott of UK Column alerted me to some very interesting data provided by Public Health Scotland on the number of cardiovascular incidents involving the ambulance service. From this link, the data is viewable by selecting Cardiovascular from the top menu and then Scottish Ambulance Service from the Select the data you want to explore box.

So we have to resort to the ambulance men for decent data because the hospitals will reliably lie.
Enjoy the ambulance data before they stop publication.
"There is some evidence of peaks in serious cardiac incidents occurring shortly after vaccination peaks in each of the different age groups."
I might be looking in the wrong place, but I can't find data on vaccination peaks. That would be the really interesting link. Otherwise, isn't the comparison with previous years consistent with Covid itself causing higher rates of heart problems?
Wot? Bent wuflu data? Tell me t'aint true!
dearieme - if the data goes mainstream, they probably will stop it.
Sam - he hasn't included the vaccination data, he merely mentions that one followed the other. My guess would be that he didn't want to take that any further because it doesn't demonstrate a causal connection, but is something we should take note of.
Jannie - and yet the excess death data still remain high.
