Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 65
As we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. So it's time for another open post. 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. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.
Re: Immunity changes and spike distribution after the vax
I write as someone who once believed that new energy breakthroughs were destined to save us from our dirty and time-limited oil dependence, and by God I was going to be a part of those breakthroughs.
I wrote out all the equations and enzymes and conversion steps, using photosynthesis to turn sunlight into hydrogen instead of sugar. Calculate maximum efficiency. Engineer the missing steps. Scale as necessary. Voila, our shiny future awaits!
Once I really got into the nitty gritty of working against evolution and trying to redesign enzymes in my graduate work, I started to wake up. But then I realized that I was working alongside others who had devoted their entire careers to this work and who had not yet woken up and probably never would. The fact that they could make it work on paper meant that it *had to* work in the real world given enough research and investment.
I see that same Progress belief at work here. The theory of vaccination says that it is always possible to induce immunity to a pathogen by training the immune system to recognize some component of it. Vaccination works because the theory says it works, and if the real world disagrees then it can be massaged or blurred or wishfully interpreted so that it validates the theory.
Certainly there *is* greed and incompetence, but I really think it's driven by the belief that technology and Progress has given us a God-like understanding of the world, and therefore the world *must* conform to our models and theories and abstractions and solutions. Which means that scientists will place a lot of weight on proxy measures for which the theory is validated (antibodies are produced!) and be extremely incurious regarding all of the potential limitations and failure modes.
Re: Immunity changes and spike distribution after the vax
I don't pretend to know what is going on *in addition* to greed and incompetence (which are certainly in play). Lots of possibilities, probably multiple players. None of them good.
