how's that for a recordWe are now in the fourth year of these open posts. When I first posted a tentative hypothesis on the course of the Covid phenomenon, I had no idea that discussion on the subject would still be necessary more than three years later, much less that it would turn into so lively, complex, and troubling a conversation. Still, here we are. Crude death rates and other measures of collapsing public health are anomalously high in many countries, but nobody in authority wants to talk about the inadequately tested experimental Covid injections that are the most likely cause; public health authorities government shills for the pharmaceutical industry are still trying to push through laws that will allow them to force vaccinations on anyone they want; public trust in science is collapsing; and the story continues to unfold.

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 and its government enablers are causing injury and death on a massive scale. 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 wholly owned 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 plan on making off topic comments, please go away. This is an open post for discussion of the Covid epidemic, the vaccines, drugs, policies, and other measures that supposedly treat it, and other topics directly relevant to those things. It is not a place for general discussion of unrelated topics. Nor is it a place to ask for medical advice; giving such advice, unless you're a licensed health care provider, legally counts as practicing medicine without a license and is a crime in the US. Don't even go there.


5. 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, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

Please also note that nothing posted here should be construed as medical advice, which neither I nor the commentariat (excepting those who are licensed medical providers) are qualified to give. Please take your medical questions to the licensed professional provider of your choice.


With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Former acting CDC director dr. Richard Besser:
"The idea that receiving vaccines would be parental choice scares me. You know, one of the things that we have in America is a contract between each other. And an important part of that in public health is vaccination. I vaccinate my children to protect them, but also to protect other people's children."

"You know, sending a child to school, you need to have that confidence that the child sitting next to them. isn't going to give them measles or whooping cough because their parent decided that they didn't want to get their child vaccinated because they're hearing all of this misinformation."

"We count on it. What if that child had an immune problem and they're in there and their parent and their children who decided not to be vaccinated? We vaccinate our kids because we care about our children, our families and our community."

Just popping in to share a few observations from Bluelandia, where I work.

In my neck of the blue-state woods, I have noticed that the 2024 reaction to the election of everyone's favorite Orange Hitler is different from the 2016 reaction. Both times, people lost their ever-loving minds immediately after, and in 2016 it seemed to just keep going (and going and GOING), whereas this time, it seems to have settled down into glum dismay a great deal faster. There was an eruption of TDS hysteria in my emails and some personal interactions on November 6 and immediately after, but by the following week, all was suddenly eerily quiet (where by "all", I mean I wasn't getting any more ranty emails or watching any work associates setting their hair on fire around the water cooler, figuratively speaking). I'm not entirely sure what to make of it just yet....I don't know if this is the calm before some new storm, or a sign that maybe, just maybe, some introspection might be happening.

Or not. Because in other news, they are still getting cootie-boosted. I've heard from at least two colleagues directly (and other stories second-hand) about how they were scheduled to get their shots, followed by notification that they were sick for days afterwards, and that's why the whatever-they-owed-me was late. These people are literally going out every year to get injected with a "protection" product that make them too ill to function for days, in order to avoid...catching a virus that might make them ill with cold symptoms for a few days. Because "science".

And of course, they all believe RFK Jr. is a loon with brain worms, but aren't really talk about it much...I get the impression they haven't learned their approved thought-stopper talking points just yet.

Was Wuhan even the place where the virus first started spreading?

There seems to be some circumstantial evidence that the virus originated in the US. There are many accounts of a bad flu going around in the US in November and December of 2019. The US with 5% of the world's population had 20% of the world's covid deaths. There was also the vaping illness in mid 2019, and the closure of Fort Detrick for a few months.

Here in Australia, I noticed in February and March 2020 that many of the people bringing covid back from overseas were returning from the US, indicating that the virus must have been pretty widespread in the US by this time.

Australia has close links to China and there are a lot of Chinese here. If covid had been spreading in China in late 2019, it should have been everywhere in Australia at this stage (Australia didn't impose restrictions on people coming from China until late January 2020).

So apparently, the virus was able to make its way from China to the US and spread widely, but not to Australia.

I also find it hard to believe that at the same time the virus was able to spread right around the world and infect millions of people, China was able to confine the virus to Wuhan. I know many people believe in the efficiency of totalitarian regimes and authoritarian measures, but I'm not one of them.

There are just so many inconsistencies with the Wuhan lab leak story. I of course think the whole thing was a scamdemic, and that the reason the US had 20% of the world's covid deaths was because the US was one of the main driving forces behind the scam, using PCR tests and hospital malfeasance to generate the covid cases, symptoms, and deaths. And maybe there were some nasty cold viruses being deliberately spread, to create "social proof" that a deadly virus was circulating.

'Virulence seems to be increasing

'Virulence seems to be increasing'

"So, they’re noticing in Italy that the case fatality rate is steadily climbing..." (now 3.3% from below 1% in August)

https://www.rintrah.nl/virulence-seems-to-be-increasing/

This is among those in hospital with a confirmed positive test - the hospitals are not full though and the infection rate amongst the general population doesn't seem that high. This notion of increased virulence does fit in with the idea the virus is becoming more immune evasive of particularly vixen induced antibodies. XEC and a newer fast growing variant LP.8.1 appear to be leading the way by introducing more and better placed glycans, according to Rintrah, which helps the virus evade antibodies. Is he onto something or just being paranoid?

Well, I'm watching fairly closely and yes, it would be worse for heavily vixenated with misfiring immune systems. Like these posts of JMG's (172 - really???!!!) this situation remains a developing one, even virally speaking.

Remember monkeypox, alien parrot flu, whatever, it's 99% bollox.

The objective is always to generate fear to justify another set of jabs for whatever it is they're spruiking.

Vax side effects include the millions of unhealthy children from the 72 shot childhood schedule.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.:

"I just want to make this clear. I don't want to take vaccines away from people. I don't want to impose my choices on the American public. If vaccines are working for you, you ought to be able to get them. And I'll make sure that happens. But people should have informed choice. So they should have good science that tells them the cost and the benefits of these products, particularly since they're being ordered to use them."

"76 million kids a year are required to use them. and they're healthy children. So it's the only medical product that's given to healthy people. You want a product like that to be extra solid, to make sure there's no risk, because you can take, you know, there's certain risks that you'll take if you're sick to get better. Of course. But if you're not sick, and you shouldn't be required to take a product unless it is iron-clad, unless you know what the... you know, what all the costs and benefits are."

"And the problem with vaccines is that they were originally introduced by the Public Health Service, which is one of the five military services. That's why there's a surgeon general. And the Public Health Service introduced them and pushed them as a national security defense against biological attacks on our country. So they wanted to make sure that if the Russians attacked us with anthrax with some other biological agent They could quickly formulate a vaccine and then deploy it to 220 million American civilians without regulatory impediments."

"A normal Medical product takes about eight years to get to market because it has to go through double-blind placebo controlled trials And you need to see long-term effects. There are many effects On every medical product that have long diagnostic horizons long incubation periods They didn't want to go through that because they said it's going to be a national emergency. So instead of calling it a medicine, we're going to call it a biologic and we're going to exempt biologics from pre-licensing safety studies."

"So there's no vaccine on that schedule, that 72 vaccines, that has ever gone through a pre-licensing safety study placebo-controlled trial against a real placebo. And that's wrong because that means that nobody knows what the risk profiles are on these products. And nobody can tell you whether that product is averting more problems than it's causing."

"And what I will do, you know, if I'm given this job in the White House, is I'll make sure that those studies get done, that there are people on the panels that approve these products that are not loaded with conflicts of interest. So it's real science. disinterested people and that doctors and patients and Americans know exactly what the costs and benefits of every vaccine are and can make a rational decision."

From: (Anonymous)
The last few autumns my little one brings home a cold, maybe it's covid. We get it for a short period of time, life moves on.

This year, it was a light cold for 2-3 days for the kid and husband. I however got slammed and it's just ending after about 9 days. I don't know if this is the new variant. It was not this bad last year. FWIW, we are all unvaccinated, but if shedding is a thing, we have all been exposed possibly with me being more exposed.

Day 1 - start with scratchy throat, itchy eyes into extreme mucus. Day 2-3 fever. Day 4 on, sinus drainage into the lungs resulting in respiratory issues/lung inflammation. Now about Day 9 I'm mostly over it. I was only really down in bed days 2-3, the rest I've been functional but with symptoms. Day 6 had some real respiratory issues but manageable with a lot of supplements. Also, I had a tiredness for a few days after the fever which was reminiscent of when I got covid (tested positive) in Summer 2022.

I'm not a doctor, this is not medical advice, here's what I used - for the historic record. We use muscle testing to run through our vitamin, herb and homeopathic options on a given day. I took about 4 doses of Vitamin I throughout, about every other day. This was on the high side. My body usually likes a dose of Vit I every 2-4 weeks over the last 2 years. On the other days this last week, my body liked Natto. Typically, when my body wants Natto, it also wants NAC and Serrapeptase but I was out of serra and NAC the last week. My body never seems to like Vit I and natto/serra/NAC on the same day. I don't know why.

My body also liked at various points the last week, CBD, Vit C, Vit B, Zinc, Magnesium, Multi-vitamin, Tumeric, Cod Liver Oil, a variety of Cell Salts with the focus on the ones for cold and fever, Homeopathic cold/flu remedies (the Hylands* kids nighttime cough and mucus blend helped me get good sleep), Reservatrol (knotweed) tincture, Chinese Skullcap tincture, a detox herb blend (Rheas*), and an Anxiety Herb Blend (Herb Pharm* - it had albizia in it which is a good respiratory herb for me but I didn't have it as a singular tincture). I know there are other helpful herbs and supplements but I didn't have a chance to test everything. *I'm not affiliated with anyone. Just passing on what I used.

I also keep a cut onion in the bedroom while I'm sleeping like the old wives tale but I don't know how much that helps!

Tragedy in the Neighbourhood

Date: 2024-11-20 03:18 am (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
A few days ago, my wife went to a seamstress who we didn’t know but who was strongly recommended by a friend. While visiting the seamstress, my wife noticed that the condo unit that she lived in was in decrepit condition. In the course of chatting with the seamstress, my wife found out several shocking things in a row like a series of hammer blows: (1) the family used to own and operate a restaurant but it went bankrupt due to the ‘medicine time’ closures; (2) due to the bankruptcy they had to sell their house and become renters in a substandard two-bedroom condo with $2,400/month rent; (3) during the long ‘cooties lockdown’ period in which medical clinics were closed, her diabetic husband developed gangrene and by the time it became obvious he had to get his leg amputated and now he is unemployed and practically unemployable. Now they live on the meagre earnings of the (fortunately talented and busy) seamstress wife. My wife came out from the visit with her head spinning: a neighbourhood family’s future virtually flushed down the toilet… and what for?

Forgive the perpetrators of this crime of the century? Never!

Terrible story! One of the hardest things about our supposed return to normal, is that these family tragedies go unnoticed. Of course, they always do in the run of things, but this resulted from criminal policies and shameless lies.

A diabetic friend was likewise crippled by the Covid vaxxes: 28, beautiful good and kind, with a child of three - every medical authority she trusted lied, and so she ignored my warnings as implausible......

Dr. Cate Shanahan's books on how food affects gene expression have also been a big wake-up call for me lately. Then I think about how completely off kilter and checked out I feel just from eating too much sugar, and I easily believe the heaps of chemical crud in so-called food could have substantial effects on mental health. I've long since given up on any real research being conducted on it, because of profit motives in the food industry. But if certain dangerous additives do get banned, I'll be sitting here with my organic, non-gmo coconut oil popcorn waiting to see what comes of it.

Shepherds For Sale by Megan Basham

Date: 2024-11-20 05:35 pm (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
Hello All: A while ago there was some curiosity on the Covid Post about this book. I've since read it and decided to report back. Basham's main argument is that American church leaders "have traded the truth for a leftist agenda." She explores several topics including immigration, abortion, climate change, and most relevant to this space, Covid.

The chapter on Covid is the best in the book. I was fascinated to learn how much effort was put into getting church leaders on board with the restrictions and foxes. Francis Collins himself spoke to many of them, by zoom of course. He apparently made much of his Catholic faith in these conversations. I found the twisting of scripture and Christian principles to advance authoritian actions hard to read. But important. I also found out that a few Christian leaders I had admired were more on board with the Covid discrimination then I had thought. Based on published writings, I had understood that Tim Keller and NT Wright supported the foxes but thought that people of faith and discernment could come to a different, valid, conclusion. Turns out they supported discrimination against the unfoxed.

The other chapters in the book are thought provoking and well argued. However, I only recommend them to those that are very interested in church politics or the proliferation of progressive politics. Bashan presents strong factual arguments, but her writing is very dense and not engaging enough to encourage a casual reader.

Side note - Basham shares her conversion story in the last chapter. It's really the only personal part of the book. I love conversation stories. Hers is a good one and very well told.


Cheers, Heloise

Interesting.

The Devil has always quoted scripture of course, with great ingenuity.

That they rushed to get injected, persecuted members of their congregations who declined to be masked or vaccinated, and endorsed general societal discrimination, exposed their religious faith for what it always was: a worthless pretence.

What faith in the Divine did they show, what Christian brotherhood and true compassion? Thankfully, no priest or theologian can have anyone burnt at the stake these days, but they can still wreck lives through treachery. If only they had stood firm!

The fearful ones were clinging to the world like any atheist materialist.

Update on the 2021-2023 List of Transcriptions-- which project got its start here on this forum in 2021 (thank you, JMG!!)—

List of Transcriptions
Home page: https://transcriberb.dreamwidth.org/

Although I limit it (with counted exceptions) to 2021-2023, I'm still at it, planning to post daily through the end of this year, and then continue, albeit less frequently, into 2025.

If you're following my updates to the List of Transcriptions on my substack, https://transcriberb.substack.com/ it may seem a bit random the way they come out, one on jab mandates, a couple on neurological injuries, then, say, two or three or four on masks, and so on. It's not in fact random; I transcribe censored and shadow-banned video that basically falls into 3 categories: 1-Experts Speak Out; 2-Injured and Bereaved Speak Out: 3-Do Not Comply. I've been working on an index for a while now, it still has a way to go, but I think the structure of the collection is coming into ever better focus, as are its lacunae.

For example, last night, for the index, I gathered together the Ireland and United Kingdom posts. You can view that page here:
https://transcriberb.dreamwidth.org/188122.html

(There are several more from Ireland and the UK that I've yet to post, however.)

On the substack, random as it may appear, I do try to pair or otherwise group a few of these as come out. Recently I posted a batch of public comments addressed to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (some outstanding personalities there!!); this week, over 4 days, I'm featuring testimonies by pharmacists (from Australia, Colorado, Washington State, and Florida).

Dog cancer update

Date: 2024-11-21 09:05 pm (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
For anyone interested in my dogs cancer saga: she is doing ok and actually looks a bit better than she did a month ago when she was diagnosed with kidney cancer.

She is 4 years old, and has an aggressive cancer in her entire left kidney extending down her ureter to her bladder. She almost died at animal ER 3 weeks ago, I believe because her kidneys couldn’t handle the medications (antibiotics and pain meds). They sent her home with instructions to call when she’s ready for euthanasia.

We then took her home and stopped all kibble dog food made by large corporation (which has lots of rumors online of their food contributing to serious illness and death, presumably due to glyphosate). Also kibble has lots of starches in it which break down into sugars, and I’m reading that cancer needs glucose to grow so removing processed dog food may help for that reason too. But also it’s hard to imagine that any processed food can be that good for you, and that was the main bulk of her diet.

And she has been on fenbendazole for 3 weeks. It’s the only medication that she can tolerate without trouble and maybe it’s helping her! Thank you Temporary Reality for that tip. She still has discomfort, most likely nausea from poor kidney function, but she seems much happier, more energetic, walks/jogs 1-2 miles daily which is much better than when I brought her in and got her diagnosis.

According to the vet she is ‘defying the odds.’

Dear Tamar, I'm so glad to hear this - whatever the outcome of this, she's happier and more energetic, what's not positive about that?! And heck, even I don't walk/jog 1-2 miles a day (though maybe I ought to), so she MUST be feeling spry. (and maybe I ought to get a dog, so I can put in those miles...lol)

Go Dog, Go! as they say ;)

How truly inspiring that dear, lovely Tedros could spare a thought for all the disadvantaged unfortunates of the world!

I am so moved I fear the tears will leave this keyboard awash.

And it's comforting to know that such tender-hearted professionals are watching over us. Watching so closely......

( I have personal knowledge of the people at WHO HQ, in the office of the Director, and quite apart from their performance during the 'pandemic', I have not met a group of more greedy, indolent, careerist, arrogant (and racist people) outside banking: and they have diplomatic immunity too!)

I suspect there is much, much more COVID than the government wants anyone to know about. The reason I think this is all kinds of help is available for COVID victims from large businesses. That said, you don’t want to get it, it’s awful. I spent a week in the hospital. Curiously, Sonkitten started to get it and shook it right off, thank God. I didn’t find out i had it until the hospitalist said “OKAY, you have COVID, and at your age [65] you will probably be dealing with it for a while.” Driving Sonkitten to the grocery store knocks me out for the rest of the day. If you find yourself unusually weak, see a doctor if possible (although when dealing with coronaviruses, there’s a limited amount a doctor can do for you). I fear this is going to explode what With holidays and cold weather coming. Today’s

Trump Appoints Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, Former COVID Vaccine Advocate Turned Critic, as Surgeon General

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/trump-appoints-dr-janette-nesheiwat-former-covid-vaccine/

This message has drawn sharp criticism from vaccine-skeptical conservatives who view mandates and widespread vaccine advocacy as an overreach. However, Dr. Nesheiwat’s recent statements indicate a significant shift in her perspective.

To her credit, Dr. Nesheiwat has since adjusted her stance as more data became available. She criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for its handling of the vaccine’s rollout and mandates, particularly its impact on children.

“If CDC approves a COVID vaccine addition to the routine schedule of vax for kids, it will mark the most egregious unethical & harmful decision to children. No mandates. Especially for a vax that can’t prevent disease.”

“COVID vax does not prevent disease like we once thought it did per the CDC / Pfizer etc.”

She also wrote, “A big mistake. The CDC allowed us sick doctors/nurses to work while covid+ positive but you are penalizing those who already have natural immunity knowing the current vaccine does not stop transmission or acquisition of covid.”
