By: Diane Benjamin Every number in this story comes from the same place – the Illinois Department of Public Health website (IDPH) The chart below shows COIVD deaths per day as reported to IDPH. These are daily deaths from 2/17/2022 through 3/16/2022. If you go to the link, hovering over each bar will show you […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) If you want to know who locally got PPP loans from the Federal government there is a database for that: https://www.pppdetective.com/ This site was created to find fraud. If you click on a loan the chances are good it will show “forgiven”. This is free money and it is not taxable. […]
By: Diane Benjamin I am purposely refraining from using percentage increases in the data below. I believe that would distort the actual numbers. For example, I could tell you confirmed suicides increased 40% between 2019 and 2020. The actual number increase was 9, very tragic but 40% sounds far worse than 9. There are a […]
By: Diane Benjamin To Community Players who only want vaccinated people at their shows, and Marcus Theaters who are doing shows just for the vaxed: Being vaccinated doesn’t prevent hospitalization, death, or even getting Covid: https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/vaccine/vaccine-breakthrough.html Illinois hospitalizations and deaths in fully vaccinated people: Those are only the serious breakthrough cases, many more still get […]
By: Diane Benjamin I’ve been updating and posting the chart below for months. One reader told me he doesn’t understand it, so I will explain it again. The Illinois Department of Public Health used to claim they don’t track hospitalizations and deaths in fully vaccinated people, but then they started posting it. The problem is […]
By: Diane Benjamin Follow the money. The link to the information below is available from the McLean County Health Department website. Clicking on the COVID-19 Vaccine tab takes you to the IDPH website – Illinois Department of Public Health. I have been tracking breakthrough hospitalizations and deaths in Illinois which proves the vaccinated can still […]
By: Diane Benjamin Below is the updated chart based on the Illinois Department of Public Health numbers: https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/vaccine/vaccine-breakthrough.html The last time I updated the chart was November 15th. Click the link – the breakthrough cases are largely in people 65 and over. 27% of hospitalizations and 13% of deaths are in the 18-64 age group. […]
By: Diane Benjamin Illinois Department of Public Health updated their numbers: https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/vaccine/vaccine-breakthrough.html Since they don’t report in a way that shows reality, I created and updated this spreadsheet: These numbers don’t include deaths soon after getting the vaccine or booster shot. See the US data here: http://vaersanalysis.info/2021/10/29/vaers-summary-for-covid-19-vaccines-through-10-22-2021/ *Note that the total number of deaths associated […]
By: Diane Benjamin The web page where the Illinois Department of Public Health reports breakthrough COVID hospitalizations and deaths has been down again for many days. The numbers are supposed to be updated every Wednesday. Don’t bother calling the number on the screen, they will provide a number in Chicago. That office in Chicago will […]
By: Diane Benjamin https://bit.ly/2Y6IMt2 Headline: Breakthrough Infections, Deaths Among COVID-19 Vaccinated Rose in Recent Months: CDC Click the link to read the story. Maybe that story is why IDPH was late posting the weekly numbers, for days the site showed “Page Not Found”: https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/vaccine/vaccine-breakthrough.html The new numbers are now posted, the trend in Illinois is […]
By: Diane Benjamin As long as the data is interesting I will continue to update this story. The Illinois Department of Public Health updates this information every Wednesday. They used to say they don’t track it, obviously they did. Last weeks story: https://blnnews.com/2021/10/14/the-data-idph-doesnt-want-you-to-see/ Last week cumulative hospitalizations and deaths in vaccinated people: Today: Breakthrough cases […]
By: Diane Benjamin I previously reported information about hospitalizations and deaths in vaccinated people was not available for Illinois. https://blnnews.com/2021/09/23/idph-foia-covid-data/ Now it is, but it is deceptively reported by IDPH. https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/vaccine/vaccine-breakthrough.html The bottom of the page has CUMULATIVE numbers of hospitalizations and deaths in COVID vaccinated people. Who cares about cumulative? I don’t. I download […]
By: Diane Benjamin I filed a FOIA request with the Illinois Department of Public Health last week. The data I really want they don’t track! They can’t tell me how many COVID infections today are in fully vaccinated people. That means they also don’t know how many of the cases are in unvaccinated people. IDPH […]
By: Diane Benjamin I filed a FOIA request before this story came out, but it proves why the data is important: https://www.sj-r.com/obituaries/i0039023 A lady from Springfield died, this statement was in her obituary: I didn’t redact her name because the story is all over Facebook. I’m sure her family is devastated, but how can they […]
By: Diane Benjamin Follow-up to this story: https://blnnews.com/2021/08/30/schools-cant-quarantine-your-kids/ Unit 5 wants a student who isn’t sick banned from the attending school for 14 days. Her crime was being within 3 feet of a student who tested positive for COVID. Everyone in the school is required to wear masks. The masks supposedly protect people against COVID […]
By: Diane Benjamin The McLean County Board Health Committee met yesterday. One mother gave Public Comment. Julie Bakewell presented the Resolution below to Committee Chair Susan Schafer. The Resolution is a revised version of one another Illinois County has already passed. Julie spells out why Pritzker’s Executive Orders are meaningless and IDPH and ISBE have […]
By: Diane Benjamin Below is the STATEWIDE outbreak locations for the last 30 days. What’s missing? Restaurants and Bars. No, they aren’t all closed, some municipalities aren’t complying with meaningless Executive Orders and some businesses chose to stay open. They are being targeted because they are easy and without the resources to fight back. If […]
By: Diane Benjamin Update to Region 2 (McLean County is in it) – Last 30 Days Outbreak Locations: Not listed: Restaurants and Bars. Tari Renner and Chris Koos are prosecuting them anyway for refusing to kneel before Pritzker. Watch the Normal Town Council refuse to make decisions with facts next Monday.
By: Diane Benjamin Hutsonville School District voted unanimously last night to hire Attorney Thomas DeVore for possible litigation. The Board opposes the “Joint Directives” issued by Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) that include wearing masks, temperature checks, and occupancy limits. The Edgar County Watchdogs have video of […]
By: Diane Benjamin I reported in this story the McLean County Nursing Home was forced to repay $244,195 to the State of Illinois as a result of an audit. The Illinois Department of Public Health claimed the State overpaid them. https://blnnews.com/2020/04/27/mclean-county-nursing-home-fact-left-out/ The County was upset and blamed the Administrator (who has since resigned) for failing […]
The Illinois department of Public Health repealed Pritzker’s Emergency Rule today. See the SHORT video on the Edgar County Watchdogs website: https://edgarcountywatchdogs.com/2020/05/idph-repeals-gov-pritzkers-emergency-rule/ Other media sources are reporting the members were deluged with angry calls and emails from citizens. This repeals the fine and jail time for not obeying the king. The meeting start time was […]
