Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 39
May. 3rd, 2022 01:18 pm
The pandemic has been scrubbed from the front pages at this point and replaced by a different hysteria du jour, but the semi-open posts I've hosted here on the Covid-19 narrative, the inadequately tested experimental drugs for it, and the whole cascading mess surrounding them have continued to field a steady stream of comments, so I'm opening yet another space for discussion. The rules are the same as before: 1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, as the vaccinated keep getting sick from respiratory illnesses over and over again while the unvaccinated have no more colds and flus than usual, the floor is open for discussion.

Date: 2022-05-03 05:40 pm (UTC)1) Unherd has a post about a recent Danish study showing that the mRNA vaccines may be less effective than the adenovirus-vector vaccines:
https://unherd.com/thepost/study-into-mrna/
2 ) the National Post have an article pointing to data from South Africa showing that the new BA.4 and BA.5 variants appear to dodge natural immunity.

I'd be interested in what the scientifically minded think, especially about the latter!

Date: 2022-05-03 06:44 pm (UTC)The tests in question did not concern actual infections in live patients, nor did they observe a complete immune response. What they did was expose some blood samples to the new variants and count how many antibodies were produced - all in a test tube. Sure, antibody production is an important part of the immune system; but it's not the only one, and the entire system must be considered before extrapolating a conclusion.
The other thing here is the sample size: 15 vaccinated and 24 unvaccinated, for a whopping grand total of 39 participants. That sample is so small that the results could easily be skewed by other factors affecting both immune response and in-vitro blood cell longevity, such as age, race, diet, body weight, gender, medical history, current medication use, etc., etc. A similarly sized 'random' sample from the city of Stockholm could just as easily conclude that all humans have blond hair and blue eyes!

Date: 2022-05-03 06:10 pm (UTC)The first was the insistence that masks go back on in July 2021. This was after most people who chose to get vaccinated willingly, did so. The way a grand plan leader would have handled it would be to enthusiastically showing how great the vaccines were working while quietly adjusting the PCR testing ranges or re-coding hospitalizations and deaths. By acting confident in the vaccines, more people would have taken them heading into fall. The economy would have returned to normal. People would be loving Biden for ending covid. Celebration! Instead one faction of the regime ramped up testing making cases always present, colleges mandated vaccines for students and employers soon followed, and the media continued the hysteria campaign. Total fail.
The second situation was the rolling out of vaccine mandates in Fall 2021. Again the grand plan seemed to be to put them everywhere, even for travel and to enter stores. The media started the messaging that the unvaccinated were spreading the disease. Employers started to implement the mandates and must have gotten enough pushback that most stopped. The places that did implement them were the colleges, some governments, and cultural institutions. I think colleges and cultural institutions were paid off with federal dollars for their compliance. Companies didn't get the handouts at all. No mastermind seemed to be able to get the companies on board.
The last situation is the now weird patchwork of what I call emotionally-based covid rules that people adhere too. It's anarchy out there with every organization making whatever rule feels good to them and few Health Departments or State Legislatures can stop them. It's bonkers. There's a complete lack of logic to deal with the fact that vaxxed people are passing covid around. It's completely ignored. If public health was focused on stopping the spread, why is there not mass testing at events and for travel? I see over-and-over again at places I can't get into as a mRNA free person, that "guests have said being around other vaccinated people makes them feel safe." Ok then! Maybe if we had testing companies lobbying legislatures then things would be different.
The whole covid mess is so bad it wouldn't even make a believable book or movie. An editor or reviewer would say "There's no plot. Who's the protagonist? Who's the villain? The writer keeps changing their mind and there's no ending to it. It just rambles on." I have to keep reminding myself that it isn't over yet as much as I want it to be over.

Date: 2022-05-03 09:24 pm (UTC)I support access to abortions, at least in the earlier stages of pregnancy. I also don't think anyone should ever be forced to have a medical procedure they DON'T want.
I suspect that some fight is going to erupt sometimes soon when some liberal says "my body my choice" in my vicinity and I can't stop myself from saying "Well, realistically, it's only your choice until society decides that we need you to make a different choice for the sake of the greater good. I mean, if people can be forced to get vaccines for the greater good, then obviously they should be forced to carry pregnancies to term, if that's what everyone else decides is for the greater good. Bodily autonomy doesn't matter when we invoke the greater good. That's how this works now, right?"

Date: 2022-05-03 07:25 pm (UTC)Onto Covid - remember when Granny warned you to be careful about what you wished for? And here we have cause du jour. Neoliberals, across the political spectrum, but especially left of centre, have fought bravely & courageously, as they say, to abolish consent, informed consent and of course, bodily autonomy. (Not to mention informing us that women have penises, men get pregnant and what's the definition of 'woman'). Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
Other stuff, no doubt many if not all have seen the "study" that showed the unvaccinated were driving the pandemic. "Study" as it was a computer simulation with numbers pulled out of someone's nether regions. I noticed it came out within in a week of a very different study (if I can find it again, I'll post a link). This one comparing the immune response from Covid survivors, unvaccinated vs vaccinated (Moderna). 93% of the unvaccinated developed a full immune response (antibodies that recognized the virus nucleoside) vs 40% of those who had the Moderna vaccine. Test subjects were determined by a positive Covid test at time of infection. Antibody response was determined by blood tests.
Science (believe the science), has collapsed. That hurt. It was a useful tool, now gone.
For those who care, Rolling Thunder hit Ottawa this weekend. Seems like some people still believe in bodily autonomy. Thank you truckers of the world. You showed thousands that they were not alone.

From:New data points this week
Date: 2022-05-03 08:54 pm (UTC)Conspicuously absent were the words "safe and effective," which in previous meetings were said about every 15 seconds.
That said, the hundreds of people they fired last year for not being vaccinated are still fired. And the the lunacy of woke ideology is everywhere and getting worse. Hoping to be out of the company by June. Any best wishes or prayers are welcome.
Re: New data points this week
Date: 2022-05-03 10:20 pm (UTC)Thanks for your report. Love the term "ultra-woke vaccinista"-- I will steal it in the next five minutes.
From what I can tell, however, I doubt the "ultra-woke vaccinistas" get much in the way of mental whiplash because they were never thinking logically in the first place. It seems to me that they have some concept of "being a right-thinking person" which they arrive at, figuratively speaking, by licking a finger and holding it up to check for the direction of the prevailing breeze, with which they are sure to ever and always align themselves.
The ones who truly have mental "whiplash," it seems to me, are those who find themselves badly injured after their injections, gaslighted by their doctors, and abandoned to their misery and mushrooming medical bills.

Date: 2022-05-03 09:08 pm (UTC)My country the Netherland is on a steep downward slope and most everybody doesn't even acknowledge it. I guess that is what psychologists call normalcy bias. It is not just the inflation north of 10%. Every week there are a few revelations that would be front-page news in better times, but now just get ignored. I just keep scratching my head and feel disconnected from society. I'll share a few stories from the past few weeks that might also serve as interesting data-points
After a judicial procedure the government released a tsunami of internal documents about the Corona policy. 4 data-analists joined forces and are combing through the data. What they found so far is shocking. It turns out the minister of health and his ministry were very much steering the course and manipulated data. It went so far that health agency RIVM didn't want to take responsibility for the data, so the 'Corona dashboard' was published by the ministery. The ministery also manipulated the data from the statistical bureau CBS. Retroactively the ministery changed the 95% interval of mortality so now we suddenly have much less excess mortality over 2021 than before. The ministery also suppressed hydrochloroquine with harsh measures like fining doctors who prescribed it with a hefty 150,000 euro. All the while they tried to secure HQL from India. It is very obvious that just a few key-players were instrumental in setting the course while the rest just went along.
A few weeks back the association of foreign journalists in the Netherlands complained of the intimidation and bullying the journalists have suffered in recent times. They had a few hair triggering examples of intimidation by the police. Of course we also had a few months ago a UN representative who reported our country to the UN for the excessive police violence during a protest against the Corona measures. Yesterday it was published that when it comes to freedom of press the Netherlands plummeted from #6 worldwide to # 22 in one year.
Another thing is the prime-minister and his ministers. I've never seen such a corrupt bunch in power in my country. The prime minister has been caught telling an astonishing amount of lies, but somehow he stays in power. 1100 children were taken away from their homes because of false accusations of the Dutch tax office, the coalition fell as result, but now we have the exact same coalition in power again and after a year the children are still not back home and the financial extortion is not yet reversed. It is such a disgrace! The rest of the ministers is just as bad: the health minister who threatened unvaxxed people and was engaged in a scandal where the government bought unusable masks for 100 million euro's is still in power, the female leader of a party that betrayed a victim of sexual abuse is still minister, her predecessor who got an expensive appartement as a 'gift' and was also engaged in a sexual scandal is still a free man, etc etc. Our pm likes to say "I don't have any active memory of that" when he is caught lying again. Judges complain that criminals are using the same phrase in the courtrooms nowadays. All of this is very corrosive to our society.
Another thing is the Ukraine insanity. People are only thinking in black and white about it. Our local city hall has replaced the Dutch flag with an Ukrainian one. Tomorrow we have a national day of rememberance of the victims of WOII. Some places will play the Ukrainian national anthem in lieu of the usual Dutch anthem. It's just nuts.

Date: 2022-05-03 10:00 pm (UTC)I am, somewhat regrettably, on LinkedIn for professional reasons (PMC-member here I'm afraid, though making contingency plans) and have noticed a few things recently - around November, Linkedin was full of people posting about friends and relatives dying suddenly of heart attacks and strokes. Then from about January to March, everyone was posting about getting corona and being glad of the vaccine for their 'mild' symptoms, which from the sound of it, typically sounded like being mildly hit by a truck travelling at 30 miles per hour. Now, sadly, it's full of cancer stories. Literally tens of them from a 5 minute scroll.
Oh, and Ukraine posts, obviously.
For anyone not on linkedin or part of the PMC, it's pretty much this:

Date: 2022-05-04 01:04 am (UTC)In these covid open posts I've noticed a lot of people often ask for prayer requests, and it can be hard to keep track of them and remember them all. Personally I enjoy praying on the behalf of others, and so I've set up an entry on my blog to take prayer requests: https://violetcabra.dreamwidth.org/289910.html
Also, I want to note the Crystal Silence League, which allows for people to request prayers for free and all the prayers get answered: http://crystalsilenceleague.org/

Date: 2022-05-05 02:43 am (UTC)I would say that this physician, who I disagree with often, is reacting to this pandemic and dealing with it in his/her own way. And has decided to be anonymous. Just like I am here. And who would not be in the current climate we live in? I would just ask you to be careful about making statements like this. It is one thing to guess, but I just think we need to be very careful with statements like this.

C-vex down-slope
Date: 2022-05-04 09:22 am (UTC)I’m getting back into medical practice after having been locked out last summer for having refused the vex. I have leased a clinic space. I’ve registered my clinic address, phone/FAX, and business data with my payor- the state Workers’ Comp system. After enduring several iterations of the Riddle of the Sphinx, I obtained codes and authorization to submit bills. After a week of sitting through hours of voice menu-trees and stating “request representative” hundreds of times, and snafu’s with the phone company, they eventually got my lines working, and installed a wifi modem. My phone, FAX and internet are now working. But voice-mail is not enabled, and I’ve spent hours trying get voice-mail set up, as my business phone account did not enable that service by default!
I’ve hung my medical school diploma on the waiting room wall, and obtained my clinic furniture except for the exam table, which should arrive in several days. My EMG machine (ElectroMyoGraphy diagnostic machine) is on the fritz, and will need to be shipped to the opposite coast for repair. I ordered a pallet of office supplies and equipment from a major office supply retailer. When it didn’t arrive as scheduled, I enquired as to why, and learned that my order was shipped to a wrong address a thousand miles away, and is gone! Now I have to wait for a phone call from the retailer as to how this will be addressed. At least I received my prescription pads (a VERY big deal), and my clinic signage is scheduled to be in place by May 10.
I’ve spent hours getting set up to receive interpreter services. The Workers’ Comp system in my state requires arranging interpreters through a designated contractor. A physician who needs to use such services has to register with said contractor through an online portal. This alone is a ferociously complex process; it asks for everything from my business UIB code to my driver’s license data (at least it didn’t enquire about my romantic fantasies). It even asks for a pdf file of an image of my driver’s license. I gathered that this pdf was generated when your license is issued, and can be obtained by following the provided online directions. But the websites referenced no longer corresponded to those directions. So I spent time online researching how to get this file, and had to go through nested rabbit holes setting up secure accounts through several state agencies, only to find that I couldn’t obtain my driver’s license pdf that way after all. So I drove to the DMV office, and asked for said pdf. The clerk said “sure”, and asked for my license and email. She simply put the license on a copier, scanned it, and emailed the scan as a pdf! But even though she had my correct email address, I never received it (not even in the spam folder). So she had me photograph my license with my cell phone, text it to her personal cell phone, then she converted it to a pdf file, then I had her email it to multiple addresses, and one of them got it. The pdf image is lousy, but the interpreter service registration website accepted it, and now I can order interpreter services. My G-d what an ordeal that was!
All of these hurdles and torments remind me forcefully of stories of the Soviet Union in the 70's and 80's, and how life there was crushed under a vast, suffocating bureaucracy that made even the simplest tasks a maddening Kafkasqian Hell.
Today I notified the first of my referring law offices that I’m taking patients, and I’ll see what happens.
Wish me luck y’all. (And no, I’m not Southern, though for mysterious reasons, my older daughter absolutely insists that I am…)

As for all those who are pressuring him, that is astounding to me, this late in the manipulation, that there are so many still who would line up for unlimited boosters (Get your Booster for the benefit of Ukraine!) Covid is not even in the regular news, there is not the constant beat of propaganda about it, and still people wear it like a moral signpost.

hepatitis in breastfed children of vaccinated mothers?
Date: 2022-05-04 10:58 am (UTC)https://theirishsentinel.com/2022/05/01/sudden-rise-of-unvaccinated-children-with-liver-damage-were-breastfed-by-fully-vaccinated-mothers/
"by AC – investmentwatchblog –
The recent and sudden rise of liver damage and hepatitis in children seems to be affecting those between the ages of 1mo – 4 years of age.
What they arent telling the public is that the majority of the cases are those under 4 years of age who are breastfed and who have been actively breastfed (within the last 12 months). The children are unvaccinated, but the breastfeeding mothers (in 100% of the cases) have been vaccinated with at least 2 doses.
The incidences of hepatitis is also hitting the 11 – 16 year old age group, with the majority of the cases in that group having been vaccinated with at least one dose.

News headlines and mainstream media titles are stating that unvaccinated children are getting hepatitis and liver damage from an unknown cause (or speculating adenoviruses as the cause) but fail to mention that actual case data shows that the WHO classifies children involved in this issue fall under the ages of 0 – 16 years of age, that the majority of cases are in the 1 month – 4 year old age group, and that 100% of the cases in that age range are being active breastfed (or have been breastfed within the last 12 months) by fully vaccinated mothers."

Date: 2022-05-04 12:51 pm (UTC)Post-mass vax campaign COVID deaths are way up e.g. 1,540 in Jan 2022, whereas the previous worst month was Aug 2020 during the original wave.
Total COVID deaths for the 2020 ‘pandemic year’ were 905, which is well below the historical average annual flu deaths of 1,500 to 3,000.
Video correlating vax status with death rate: https://twitter.com/TexasLindsay/status/1517727088979193856?s
Pregnant women: James A Thorp MD talks a lot about the impacts of the vax on pregnant women and newborns. “The side effects I’ve seen on pregnant women in the last 2 years are unprecedented.” He’s a 68 year old physician board certified in obstetrics and gynaecology and maternal-fetal medicine who has practiced obstetrics for 42+ years and publishes mostly on GETTR.
Poignant article by a vax-injured NZ dentist: https://thebfd.co.nz/2022/04/27/this-should-not-be-happening/
Child stats: P4SV (People For Safe Vaccines – an Australian organisation): In the 100 days since they started jabbing kids 5 and up, 1,300 adverse events have been reported with an injury rate of 1 in 923 jabs and 3 deaths. Conclusion: Risk of dying from the jab is 32 times greater than from COVID.
Mercola published an article where he said the data showed that ~51 kids under 18 will die for every one saved by the jab.
Studies show that the all-cause mortality for US kids who follow the full childhood vax schedule is 4 times higher than for the kids that are unvaxxed. RFK Jr’s Childrens Health Defence has data on this topic.
Comedy Corner - Covidiot world on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19positive/comments/uc04k8/ego_crushed_got_it_after_two_years_starting/
Stranger than fiction stuff: Several videos have appeared on Bitchute with doctors and scientists finding strange artefacts in recipients’ blood post-vax. The people in those videos looked like genuine and serious people and not wackos or disinformation peddlers.
Anyway the video on this page is in the WTF category: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-04-25-claim-covid-vaccines-installed-marburg-payloads-in-human-victims-5g-broadcast-signal.html Published by Mike Adams who is known for over-reacting, but it’s not his work.
In it Jeffrey Prather ref https://jeffreyprather.com interviewed guest attorney Todd Callender, who states that he believes people injected with mRNA “vaccines” were actually installed with nanotechnology carrying chimeric virus payloads that may include elements of Marburg virus.
According to Callender, a broadcast from 5G cell towers at 18 MHz, for a specific duration and sequence, will cause affected cells to rupture, unleashing Marburg payload bioweapons into the blood of those who took the mRNA injections.
Well there’s been an unholy rush to roll out 5G during COVID-time, but that’s also part of the digital currency/ID plan.
As other people have said, it looks like we’re in the eye of the COVID storm, although the main game is still Peak Oil and depopulation one way or another.
