P13 New Zealand Data-The MOH Brown Shirts Have Taken Down Dashboard!

Next Steps...

Part 12 HERE

With a heavy heart I announce that New Zealand’s Ministry of Health (MOH) brown shirts have somehow bullied my data visualization provider Tableau Public to take down our beloved dashboard created from Steve Kirsch’s derivative work on the leaked data.

Tableau is a orders of magnitude bigger company than Wasabi or Mega the backup storage type providers that took down Steve Kirsch and Kevin McKernan’s data. Kevin’s personal data was later restored.

Tableau was purchased by Salesforce back in late 2019 just in time for the plandemic for $16B. It’s not Elon Musk Twitter coin, but it’s still a large purchase most were not aware of nor even sure what Tableau does? Among other things they can do interactive dashboards really really well. Tableau is a direct competitor to Microsoft Power BI. Enthusiasts and experts alike agree Tableau is head and shoulders better than Power BI. As a matter of fact CDC even started to use Tableau, I think they are testing out it’s capabilities HERE. If you own a cell phone then you have at least a couple apps that have a backbone running on Tableau. It’s also what C.E.O.’s and management teams use internally to visualize incoming and outgoing data of all types.

I was given no notice, no warning, no email no nothing! I happened to catch a Telegram blurb saying the dashboard was down. The best I can tell the dashboard was nuked around 3pm PST yesterday Dec 11. I didn’t catch wind until about 10pm.

Since I was only using the “Public” version of Tableau I can not save dashboard to my local servers (if I had one) or my ISP. Tableau Public and free access to most tools is a fair exchange and perfect for my needs of bring VAERS and other data visibility to the world for free. If I were to license the software for ~$900/yr (single user), I could operate like a proper website and hold the data and my proprietary dashboard where I want and even put if behind a paywall if I wanted, which I would never do.

Microsoft Power BI by contrast only costs about $15/mn for licensing fees so that might be an option moving forward? I don’t think I’m going to make a stink with Tableau over this spineless maneuver, I’ll probably just recreate something like The Eagle’s Superstore of Office visits and visit “tragic heart attacks” wink wink.

I am curious what kind of intellectual property rights I would have with a licensed software? Maybe this would be a good time to build a dashboard for Steve Kirsch in Power BI or Tableau under his license and see what happens if they try to push Steve around? I’m game.

Stay Tuned, I’ll be back!

You can go back through my various articles on this subject to get visualizations of the now memory holed dashboard. I did create this score card visual outside of the dashboard that summarized the data:

God Bless, Support The Eagle, keep fighting!
