Peak matches vaccination timeline

Background
Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL, SSHL) is a medical emergency. It can range from mild impairment to total hearing loss, which may be temporary or permanent. It often appears together with additional symptoms such as tinnitus, dizziness, and a feeling of ear fullness. Immediate diagnosis and treatment may promote partial or full recovery, in some cases.
Data was received from Maccabi HMO (2.5M members as of 2022, approx. quarter of Israel’s population) for ICD codes H91.2 H90.5 H91.9 H91.23 via Freedom Of Information Act request.
Analysis
The graph above shows the raw data grouped into yearly quarters. A clear surge in cases is visible in all age groups above 20, while the youngest age group (0-20) may exhibit a slight rise during Q4/2021.
Next, we compared each age group to the average quarterly number of cases in 2017-2020 and thus created a 100% baseline for each age group:
Clearly, the extreme rise in cases is related to age, with the 80+ age group exhibiting a 409% peak in cases in Q4/2021 and a more moderate peak in younger ages. This is discussed later. The 0-20 age group also showed a moderate rise in Q4/2021 (133%) . The normalized graph (Chart 2) is also useful to assess the trends prior to 2021, a relatively gradual and stable increase in cases in most age groups, which could be explained by population growth, ageing, or transition of members between HMO’s.
Data by gender: The rise appeared similarly in both genders, with males above 80 showing a higher peak (373%) than females (326%) when comparing 2021 cases to 2017-2020 average for each gender.
Discussion
Is SSNHL related to Covid-19 ?
In the graphs we see no rise in case numbers during 2020 (Covid-19 without vaccines). In fact, a study from Israel found lower SSNHL incidence in 2020. A systematic review from 2022 states: ‘The literature is inconsistent regarding whether Covid-19 causes an increased incidence of SSNHL, and this matter remains unclear’. We can assume that such an incidence rate due to Covid-19 would have been discovered by now.
Is SSNHL related to mRNA vaccines?
The sharp rise in cases (beginning Q1/2021) temporally matches the vaccination campaign in Israel which began on Dec. 20, 2020 for ages 18+ . The rise in cases at ages 0-20 (beginning Q4/2021) temporally matches the approval of Pfizer’s vaccine for children aged 5-11 on November 2021.
A retrospective study from Israel analyzed Idiopathic SSNHL (ISSNHL) cases and similarly detected an exceptional rise in cases during 2021. In addition, out of 51 cases that were investigated in 2021, 13 patients (25.4%) had received the Covid-19 vaccine within 30 days before onset, with 4 cases (8%) occurring within 96 hours of vaccination. The researchers emphasized the need for additional investigation to determine if there is a causal relationship.
Another retrospective study from Israel used data from the largest HMO in the first few months of the vaccination campaign. It filtered vaccinated members who were diagnosed with SSHL and treated with steroids. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated during 21 days from the first and the second doses. The relative increase in cases was 35% and 23% after the first and second dose, respectively. In women ages 16-44 there was a 92% increase after the first dose. In men ages 16-44 there was a 145% increase after the second dose.
Researchers from France found that Tozinameran (BNT162b2 Pfizer vaccine) is associated with an elevated risk of 45% for SSNHL (Rr=1.45/1,000,000 injections). They also found that there was complete recovery in only 22.5% of cases.
Could such a clear safety signal pass unnoticed? On May 2024 Israel’s ombudsman (State Comptroller, Mevaker Hamedina) had announced that 82% of medical teams’ adverse event reports were not received by the Israeli Ministry Of Health (Ynet) (Times Of Israel) and additional 4% were not processed. The Health Ministry also failed to process 33,000 reports filed by the public regarding side effects. According to the report, IMOH investigated just 1,000 instances of severe side effects. Currently (Feb. 2025) there is no indication that IMOH had started handling the unprocessed data.
Conclusion
The data clearly shows a sharp peak in cases during 2021 in all age groups, with incidence rates gradually subsiding but not returning to expected rates even by the end of 2023. The reason behind this alarming peak could well be related to Covid-19 vaccines. Further research is required to prove or disprove a causal link. The Israeli Ministry Of Health’s lacking adverse event monitoring leaves a major gap in the ability to assess the safety of mRNA vaccines worldwide, with Israel appointed as ‘The world’s lab’.

An excerpt:
" ... If the military industry needs wars, the pharmaceutical industry needs diseases. It is no coincidence that ‘public health’ is by far the most profitable sector of the world economy, to the extent that Big Pharma spends about three times as much as Big Oil and twice as much as Big Tech on lobbying. The potentially endless demand for vaccines and experimental gene concoctions offers pharmaceutical cartels the prospect of almost unlimited profit streams, especially when guaranteed by mass vaccination programmes subsidised by public money (i.e., by more debt that will fall on our heads)."

"This equation has four factors, a little bit of multiplication. So you've got a thing on the left, CO2, that you want to get to zero, and that's going to be based on the number of people, the services each person is using on average, the energy, on average, for each service, and the CO2 being put out per unit of energy. So let's look at each one of these, and see how we can get this down to zero. Probably, one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero.

That's back from high school algebra. But let's take a look.

First, we've got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent. But there, we see an increase of about 1.3 .... ."
