@citizenjournos_ I did not say you can't use 5 years of data to get an average. Of course you can. If you genuinely want to be a journalist, try factually and faithfully reporting what I said.
@joanne121206 @citizenjournos_ @NISRA No, I don't. I have issues with how others are interpreting the the figures as I have set out repeatedly.
Please stop misquoting and misinterpreting what I said.
RT @DannyDonnelly1: Lovely morning walk on the coast road litter picking with the wife @donnelly_maeve and our local @ecorangersni ! There were pancakes and coffee after thanks to @isupportlhlh ! #BeachClean
RT @allianceparty: Alliance has a plan to tackle the cost of living crisis and that means ensuring our local businesses are protected too.

RT @donnelly_maeve: Out with Abe, Bobby and Danny to do litter pick on coast road #ecorangers #liveherelovehere
RT @allianceparty: Clarification is needed on what the ending of free lateral flow tests means for respite and day care provision, Alliance MLA @Kelmba has said.

@davidgettingby @paulfrewDUP People were not required to take the vaccine. That was your argument and it was wrong.
@paulfrewDUP @davidgettingby So you'd rather we had encouraged people not to test and instead continue to spread the virus to others? Okay.
As I said, you're now deflecting from the point of the original exchange. I'm not following you down that rabbithole.
Enjoy your Sunday.
@paulfrewDUP Okay, Paul. We're done here. You're simply refusing to evidence your claims.
Enjoy your Sunday.
@davidgettingby @paulfrewDUP No they did not. They could take an LFD test, for example, as an alternative.
Your premise is simply wrong.
@davidgettingby @paulfrewDUP It didn't require anyone to take the vaccine.
So, your premise is false.
@paulfrewDUP I'm quite happy to discuss what I supported.
I'm asking you to evidence "quite extraordinary".
@paulfrewDUP A position on excess deaths? All deaths are a tragedy. I thought I made that clear.
You've yet to explain specifically what part of it concerns you.
And with respect, vaccine certification has nothing to do with the exchange on interpreting statistics.
@ANNAOHara05 @allianceparty Anna, if you aren't interested in civil exchange, scroll on past and don't interact. It's simple.
@DavidLu90074694 @4dannyboy @paulfrewDUP Not a blanket statement for the pandemic: a complete misrepresentation of this exchange. I was referring to a full regression analysis of deaths over the last 5-10 years.
If the best you have is misquoting, I'll be blocking you.
@shinydancerni @paulfrewDUP I understand the ONS and NISRA analysis, what it shows and what it doesn't. I have no issue with their analysis.
@darrenleckey @paulfrewDUP It is. Which is why I asked Paul a few times what his specific concern is. He hasn't answered.
@paulfrewDUP No-one said each death wasn't important - it was the first point I made in response to the original questioner.
I didn't attempt to smear you, quite the reverse. I asked you a question which you haven't answered.
I think I'm wasting my time trying to have a rational exchange.
@4dannyboy @paulfrewDUP As I said, I hadn't analysed the stats: I was pointing out that higher than average /= increase over each year.
If people are going to argue about this, they need to understand what they are reading. That was my only point.
@paulfrewDUP What is it you are concerned about specifically? For example, over 1000 excess deaths are estimated to have been caused by the recent heatwave. Is that part of your concern?
Or are you only interested in a narrative that supports your vaccine scepticism?
