Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 176

anti-fooderWe 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. I have added a new rule (see below, #6):

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. 

6. Please don't just post bare links without explanation. A sentence or two telling readers what's on the other side of the link is a reasonable courtesy, and if you don't include it, your attempted post will be deleted.

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.

I nod my head reading this and agree.

But this was a really radical statement to have 4 years ago, and you did, and you gave us this outlet to share. Share our fears, watch as the gestapo turn our worst fears into reality and then turn it up to 11.

I survived, with the threat of being fired. Fill out this religious exemption or we will let you go. Sword of Damocles above my head every day for 3+ years and they still have not 'accepted or denied' my exemption request.

Thank you for this space, and for this community. I am stronger for it.

Pneumonia outbreak

(Anonymous) 2024-12-19 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Has anyone else had a social circle recently stricken with pneumonia? I'm in the US and it's just torn through most of the people I know. Myself excepted, of course. People cite it as "the sickest I've been since childhood," and it seems to me like they're coming down with common colds that their bodies aren't able to fight off. The worst thing about it all is the uncertainty: will people's bodies adapt and start to get better or will this get worse for them with every year?

In other news, the experts are predicting a wave of bird flu:

health insurance and perhaps insurance in general will be illegal somewhere down the road, like in 100 years

Kind of like how usury was a sin in christianity, originally because there was a perception that money-lending contributed to the fall of the Roman empire. Until the reformation, and then christians decided that usury was all hunky-dory again.

What happens when autistic adults who are not high functioning like me lose their parents due to age and infirmity?

This is scary. I know some kids who never managed to leave the nest. Now they are middle-aged and their parents won't be around much longer. One of my childhood friends will probably end up looking after his brother. There needs to be some kind of group-home arrangement; but in today's world, most of those would probably end up being predatory scams.

"Struck off" is british for had his medical license revoked.
These days, that's a badge of honor. As a general rule, you can consider that physicians have split into two groups: the competent, honest ones on the one hand; and those who have retained their licenses on the other.

There are three in particular that come to mind. The first was that King Charles III would die before the end of the year. Granted, the year isn't over yet, but it this prediction were coming true, His Majesty should be on his deathbed by now. The second one was that Russian hypersonic cruise-missiles will destroy NATO military bases in certain NATO countries such as Britain or France. That seems as though it would be another one that would have happened by now if it were a true prediction. Lastly, there was the prediction that the Deep State will interfere with Trump's re-accession to the presidency to the extent that he will not be able to take office until well after the traditional Inauguration Day. If this were the case, it would be something that would be underway right now. (To be honest, I am also taking a new liver-supporting supplement for my health that's a bit on the spendy side, and I decided I would rather spend money on that than on a Substack that keeps making faulty predictions.)

To be honest, I would not have voted for the likes of Donald Trump if I hadn't felt the need to make my switching sides in the Culture War something real and of consequence, as opposed as to some inconsequential change in my socio-political patterns of thought. However, it's worth noting that the Deep State went from trying to kill Trump once, maybe twice, this past summer to effectively green-lighting his election victory. As the influence of Israel upon the Deep State is grossly disproportionate, I have to wonder if the reason Trump is encountering no real resistance because he made a deal to help Israel go to war with Iran.

I have already decided that whatever happens as a result of Trump's second victory just happens, which is a stark illustration of just what a bottomless pit of sheer, unbelievable moral bankruptcy the outgoing Biden-Harris Administration has been. However, a war with Iran is the one thing that could make my attitudinal decision a very bitter pill to swallow, not in the least because this could result in the very global thermonuclear war I have been attempting to ward off in my daily prayers for the past almost three years!

It was not just in Mexico, that was just the country that got the blame. The phenomenon was worldwide. In my country the minister of health bought a hefty 34 million vaccines. That is 2 for each inhabitant, baby's included. Fortunately most people didn't fall for it and most of the vaccins were destroyed or shipped to Africa - yeah, I know...:-(

Besides the callous actions of WHO, big pharma and their bought lackeys the most astonishing element is that there has never been any accountability. Everyone including the media continued like nothing special had taken place and attention went back to the series of euro-crisis we had in those days.

People have often spoken about the psychological effects of the behavioural modification experiments that have accompanied the medical experiments we've undergone.

And, it is often the case that history rhymes... which gives this relevance in the present.

Here is an article addressing psychological and behavioural aspects of the HIV/AIDS crisis, that first saw light in a magazine called "Continuum" in 1996/1997, written by Toronto writer Ian Young, who had lived through the years as a participant, and who writes about the strange connection between gaining a HIV-positive status and the paradoxical release of joy and relief and "proper" acceptance and initiation into the gay community of that time. It is lengthy, thoughtful, and may interest people who like to read that kind of article. (also I had to go to the way back machine to find it) Ian Young is author of a book called "The Stonewall Experiment" which looks interesting.

https://web.archive.org/web/20110811172324/http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/hiv/iycultsero.htm

The concluding paragraphs:
QUOTE
AIDS today [1996/1997] is not what it was in the early Eighties when the term was coined to avoid the embarrassing acronym GRID - Gay Related Immune Disorder. The definition has changed: illnesses which were once considered key AIDS symptoms are now excluded if HIV is discovered not to be present; even the official record now lists well over 4,000 such cases. Pelvic inflammatory disorder in women may now result in an AIDS diagnosis if HIV is shown or assumed to be present. T-cell counts, ignored in the early years of AIDS, are now combined with the ever-changing list of disorders to produce diagnoses on a "one from column A, two from column B" basis. Pneumocystis carinii, long considered a protozoon, is now acknowledged to be a fungus. Consensus is growing that Kaposi's sarcoma, once regarded as a hallmark of AIDS in gay men, is not caused by HIV, and investigations into a suspected "KS virus" are underway.(13) The most popular AIDS drug, AZT, has been discredited, and physicians are reduced to offering their HIV Positive patients the experimental drug (or "cocktail") of the moment on a "try it, you might like it" basis. Many of these drugs are highly toxic, especially when combined, and their "side-effects" read like a list of AIDS symptoms. In short, things are a mess. Meanwhile, the AIDS conveyor belt rolls on, providing employment for an ever-increasing army of support personnel. And every week, the roll of sick and dying young men grows longer.(14)

Gay men have long served as repositories for a complex of group fears and fantasies about sex, sickness and death. Psychohistorian Lloyd deMause has drawn attention to society's periodic killing off of "its own id-representatives, its youth, who represent itself in the life-phase when it was most sexual and most aggressive."(15) In the past, this filicidal syndrome has usually been acted out through war. The frequent employment of war metaphors in AIDS literature of all kinds suggests that in the Eighties and Nineties, AIDS is taking the place of war, or has become a new kind of war. Under the veneer of a compassionate liberalism, psychobiochemical assault is being infficted on gay men: not as a conscious intention, but as the result of policies predicated on certain unconsciously held ideas.

It is time to rethink this crisis, to begin to understand how we might extricate ourselves from the nightmare that has overtaken us, and enveloped us now for almost two decades. We will not understand the phenomenon of the seroconvert until we begin to investigate the destructive hold of unconscious belief systems in which we all participate. Until then, all the AIDS Education and Safe Sex Information in the world will not prevent new cohorts of young men from summoning up their courage and heading from the Test Site to the tattoo parlor to take up their cross.

I wonder if something is brewing. Besides several attempts this week to whitewash or play down the crimes of the upper echelons in regards to Covid, the breakthrough study from 2020 showing the efficacy of HCQ is now retracted https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/18/hydroxychloroquine-covid-treatment-journal-study-retracted The timing of this all is a bit conspicuous.

IgG4 and Cancer link

[personal profile] bluemoose 2024-12-19 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone (Germ) left this at Automatic Earth today. IF you follow some of Rintrah's COVID discussions you should be able to understand at a basic level what is being discussed.

Exploring the possible link between the spike protein immunoglobulin G4 antibodies and cancer progression

Abstract
“Repeated inoculation with messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines elicits immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) antibody production. Such an increase in the concentration of specific and non-specific IgG4 antibodies allows the growth of some types of cancer by blocking the activation of effector immune cells. This work proposes the hypothesis that cancer growth may be indirectly promoted by increased concentrations of non-specific IgG4 antibodies by the following mechanisms: 1) IgG4 antibodies can bind to anti-tumor IgG1 antibodies and block their interaction with receptors located on effector cells, thus preventing the destruction of cancer cells, 2) IgG4 can interact with fragment crystallizable gamma receptor IIb (FcγRIIB) inhibitory receptors, thus reducing effector functions of innate immune cells, and 3) targeting of specific epitopes by IgG4 could be oncogenic by inducing the production of a microenvironment that can promote cancer development. ”

Further to the above, here is a paper from March 2020, by David Crowe, who died in July of 2020. In one of his obituaries, his death is described (I kid you not) as "suddenly, by cancer."

In any case, David Crowe was a long time HIV/AIDS sceptic (not a sceptic as to the existence of the clinical disease known as AIDS, but a sceptic as to its purported viral cause. Very early in the Covid crisis (March 2020! as I said above), he wrote about how his HIV-informed scepticism affected his assessment of the Coronovirus.

Sir: As you can tell, I am a fanboy and do take your opinion quite seriously. Distrust in what the pharmaceutical/diagnostic industry has become is just common sense (I did say that I am happily retired and out of that particular whores game).

I cannot say that there is a "bad" technology. Opiates are a godsend to the end of life and those with chronic pain, but a serious problem for others. mRNA has similar profile, it can work in cases where nothing else can work, but there is a price and it really doesn't cure, it merely delays.

I think that the reason I ended up voting for Trump is his relationship with RFK and the angst toward the industry we discuss. It seems that "first do no harm" needs to be re-examined without corporate profits being in the discussion.

I'll ponder this again today. Who knows, I have changed my mind before. But I do think that there may well be a use for mRNA in medical use, just not in a semi-mandatory, population level event

I live in a relatively isolated location, only leaving the property a few times a week to do some shopping. Occasionally I will meet someone in town who I know or a neighbour in passing and the very first thing they ask is if I've been well. When I say yes, very well thank-you, they express relief that not everyone is getting sick.

I haven't brought this up before since I don't know much about it and it's one of the alternative medicine things that is still way, way, out there, but so many of the things that used to be way out there are now acknowledged as true in much larger circles than every before. So.
I have heard over the years that there are detox treatment protocols for vaccine injury related autism.
Keep in mind that autism is a blanket diagnosis for a number of poorly understood phenomena and there are many development aspects that simply cannot be reversed no matter what the treatment. Once a developmental stage has passed there is no going back to fix whatever went wrong. However.
I would encourage anyone one concerned with a vaccine injury to start by looking into heavy metal detoxification protocols and go from there.
Wheatgrass juice, as old fashioned and pedestrian as it is, would be a solid start. Chlorella, cilantro, and a number of other things have also been shown to be helpful.
This is not medical advice; I'm not an expert. What I'm offering is a indication of a possible path through the wilderness. As far as I know finding the way through will be a huge challenge. If you choose to seek this way, best wishes and may the Gods be with you.

Have a niece, now in her mid thirties who is not "high functioning" and it has been accepted that when her parent can't keep her anymore, her older sisters will take her in. I have two affected nephews who are on their own, seem emotionally stable, but really shun others and dislike physical contact. After almost 50 years in a relationship I cannot imagine being alone.

Re: IgG4 and Cancer link

[personal profile] boccaccio 2024-12-19 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, this is bad news and a synchronicity too. This study implies that another pathway of vaccine-induced cancer has shown up. This one could be particularly nasty.

I remember a study we talked about on this forum that showed that children showed an increased level of IgG4 1 year after their last jab. The conclusion of combining these two facts means inevitably more cancer in children. This is alrady visible in the data https://x.com/1goodtern/status/1865109552653373713 (link to chart with colon cancer cases in under 15s, primary diagnoses, England. It shows a tripling of diagnoses in 2023 and 2024!!!).

To make matters worse, the virus is also cancer enhancing. This doesn't get much attention on this forum, but is nonetheless important too. See https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8536488/ and https://web.archive.org/web/20240317195255/https://www.webmd.com/covid/news/20230531/covid-and-leukemia-whats-the-connection

Of course the cancer inducing qualities of the virus get a boost due to the increase of IgG4 as it makes one more tolerant of the virus and thus increases both the amount of virus in the (IgG4 increased) individual as society as a whole.

I must say that this is a complete mess with mutually reinforcing pathways to cancer. No-one knows where it will end, but it is a safe bet that cancer rates will keep rising for an undetermined period into the future. A disturning state of affairs.

As for the synchronicity, I just came across this article with the title "Why do so many young people suddenly have cancer?" https://www.vox.com/explain-it-to-me/389508/cancer-early-young-adults-colon-breast-explained Of course it states that the cause is unknown, but attention is called to the rising rates of cancer.

I just came across this datapoint on X that strikes me as relevant

About 20% of my young patients are showing evidence of increased clotting as part of the baseline lab panels.

Never used to see this.


https://x.com/StevePhillipsMD/status/1859969046894219524

We're about to enter 2025 but the clotting issues are on their way to become a new normal in our society. An incidence of 20% is just stunning. Add to this a tripling of cancer in children (see my comment earlier this week) and record breaking sickness levels and it is obvious we have likely the greatest health disaster on our hands since at least the Spanish Flu. Yet not a beep from the health authorities or the MSM.

Hawaii banned the import of poultry for the next 90 days because a cow sneezed somewhere in the world. Hopefully the little hatchery down the street survives. All of a sudden our annoying pet rooster is about to earn his feed money back. We just have to let one of the hens go broody and resist the temptation to eat eggs for the next few weeks as the prices continue to skyrocket.
