Wikipedia: John Lorimer Campbell is an English YouTuber and retired nurse educator known for his videos about the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, the videos received praise, but they later veered into misinformation. He has been criticized for suggesting COVID-19 deaths have been over-counted, repeating false claims about the use of ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment, and providing misleading commentary about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines...
In August 2022 David Gorski wrote for Science-Based Medicine that while at the beginning of the pandemic Campbell had "seemed semi-reasonable", he later became a "total COVID-19 crank". Others have expressed concern that Campbell's videos have been used by podcaster Jimmy Dore and others to support false claims against the Covid-19 vaccine. [end]
Minus: They simply stopped reporting them.
Were they reported before the pandemic began? Maybe they aren't being reported now because the president declared the pandemic to officially be over? Don't you believe this is something that should have happened a long time ago?
dotard donald, if he were still president, would be saying now "no, the pandemic is not over"? Wasn't he trying to prematurely say it would be over soon (many times) previously?
Minus criticizes for not publishing the numbers... but if they were still being published... then they would be fake aka "pencil whipped".
The bureaucrats always pencil whip the numbers. I used to follow the Maryland Dept of Education "test scores" religiously. Every few years they'd change the test, as the scores ALwAYS went down. The test change simply started a new point from which to measure the decline in scores.
The numbers are fake. Anybody who follows them, a fool. The economic numbers? FOGEDDABOUDIT!
On Jan 28 2002, the MSPAP scores for 2001 were finally released. The official conclusion was that the test and its scoring was perfectly valid. Generally, scores dropped on every front. The composite score for the state dropped. The composite score for almost all counties dropped. In the state, 120 elementary schools saw their scores drop by more than 10 percentage points. (Keep in mind that a "ten-point drop" for a typical school which had scored a 40% satisfactory rate in 2000, and fell to 30% in 2001, is really a 25% decrease in performance. A "ten-point drop" from 20% to 10% is really a 50% decrease in performance.) The Washington Post reported (Jan 29 2002):
Of 118 elementary schools in Montgomery County [one of Maryland's most affluent], 100 had test scores decline this year, with 26 schools posting drops of more than 10 points. Even more disconcerting to county officials, some of the schools with the biggest drops are considered among the county's best and had no changes in principals, third- and fifth-grade teachers or number of troubled students in classes.
Prince George's County Superintendent Iris T. Metts was similarly mystified by the swings in scores in her county. For instance, Fort Foote Elementary in Fort Washington, which has won national awards, dropped from 60.6 percent to 36 percent in 2001. "Same Principal, same faculty, same hard work, same efforts, and they had a double-digit drop," Metts said.
Show me a school's demographics, and I can tell you their scores.

Because, if the data doesn't show what Minus wants to see, then the conclusions MUST be fake.
Were they reported before the pandemic began?
ReplyDeleteYep. So why stop now?

The economy's GREAT! Right Dervy?
ReplyDeleteDervy waiting for next Biden Admin economic report...
ReplyDelete\\ The test change simply started a new point from which to measure the decline in scores.
ReplyDeleteTests need to be changed... by obvious reason. ;-)
Yep, they were making the teachers look bad. Every year their budgets and tax expenditures went up, and the student's test scores went down.
ReplyDelete...and they couldn't just admit that "changing demographics" were contributing significantly to the measured decline.

It was a VFW problem. Very Few Whites having kids. ;)
ReplyDeleteps - Watch Dervy start screaming about "racism". Hey, I didn't collect the data. I just analyzed it.
ReplyDeletebtw - The secret to closing the B/W Achievement Gap... or at least "appear" to be closing it. ;)
ReplyDeleteLies, damn lies, and statistics!
ReplyDeleteDervy thinks the problem is "racism". Much like Oedipus, he blinds himself not only to the problems, but also to their solutions.
ReplyDelete...he sees "problems" where none exist (like declining test scores).
ReplyDeleteYou started talking too smart for that cretin to respond.
ReplyDeleteQ, that's what happens when "cret¡n" indulges in JoeJoe RobbingIt Bidet Chocolate Chocolate Chip soft fudge ice cream. "cret¡n" gets pee—brain freeze every time.
DeleteNo, Dervy doesn't deal well with numbers. It's a foreign language to him.
ReplyDeleteI replied. I don't know what happened to it. But yeah, standardized tests are racist.
ReplyDeleteMinus does not do well with numbers. Proven by his complaints about "fudging" them re climate change.
"I didn't collect the data. I just analyzed it".
Data from biased tests.

ReplyDeleteThe tests are de-biased before given.

ReplyDeleteLOL!
Mystere (in German): My IQ is 300.
ReplyDeleteBullshit. Your IQ is MUCH lower than 300, Mystere. MUCH MUCH lower.
Habitual use of "your" instead of "mine"? ;-P
ReplyDeleteπππππππππππ GOOD ONE, Q!
DeleteCretin dunno what "habitual" means. Obviously. Given that I never use "your" instead of "mine".
ReplyDeleteAnd what "habitual" mean... in NewSpeak? ;-P
ReplyDeleteNo cretinic retorts here? ;-P
ReplyDeleteWhy are you asking me to give your NewSpeak redefinition of "habitual"?
ReplyDeleteObviously (from the context) it means "something never done".
But you would know better than me, given that you are the NewSpeaker here.
Whereas I don't use NewSpeak. I say what I mean and mean what I say.
OK, I gave you want you wanted. Now you can respond with that cretinic retort you have been desperate to post.
