You have to really dig deep.
Are you sure that Safe Search is no enabled? I ran both of your searches and easily got results on Google and Duck Duck Go. Some data is older on both but if no agency is tabulating it right now you get when it was last done.

I find Google delivers far more junk especially from the far right click-bait news sources than DDG.

I'm not looking for 4 year old search results. I'm looking for the 2020 or 2021 black out of weblock birthrate and the current COVID vaccinated death number.

This is elementary data that should be easily found on google.

Serious question - you don't know how a computer can count the number of times a phrase is searched by end users and then rank them? Of all the information computers process, I'd say that's quite the easy task.

And it can be programmed, yes? You don't know that of all the information computers process, telling them what to do is quite an easy task.

Do you really think every google algorithm is organically driven? Not one is preprogrammed? Not ONE?

Please tell me you're not that naive. Please.

I'm getting results for 2020 on the birthrates try changing the wording to get better results. First result on Google for the Covid tests https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/u...ntry=~All+ages. No real difference with DDG.

Seems the "elementary data" is there maybe the results aren't matching what you perceive they should be...

Who cares if Google (or every other search engine) is biased?

Just scroll until you find that something that supports your world view... like a normal internet "researcher".

It takes a little education in a topic before you really know what to search for that might yield the results you want, such as studies that don’t just toe a certain line. People who just do a cursory search for surface knowledge will receive the indoctrination versus the people who really seek to understand. Too many of the former and not enough of the latter.

About 6 months ago the YouTube channel for Redacted got a 2 week vacation for discussing a CDC memo. Not commenting on it, reading it verbatim. The memo in question was not terribly pro-vaccine.
