Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 193

[ecosophia]

We 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. 

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.

Randomized clinical trial

[(Anonymous)]

A comment on randomized clinical trials (RCTs) -

The models for randomization are built based on physical objects coming out of the same factory process. For example, if a machine follows the same mechanical process to create 1 million pennies, you can toss each of those pennies 100 times and expect the head to tail ratio to be nearly equal in all trials.

In case of humans, the number of variables is so large that we simply use the variables that make us feel good. How do we know that the proper randomization variables are races, sexes, age and so on? I may as well argue the real variable affecting the variation of health is the profile of the gut microbiome, and maybe that gut microbiome changes on the brand of the bread these people eat.

In general I find RCTs to be marketing devices used by drug companies (cartels) to downplay people's real life experiences. ("Oh, you have headache after taking my medicine? That is from stress or fear of injection, because our RCT participants had no headache.") Also, they are used by the same companies as legal shields. As far as scientific evidence goes, RCTs prove nothing.

Re: Randomized clinical trial

[ecosophia]

There's another factor that points in the same direction: the pervasive presence of scientific fraud. It's very easy to rig a clinical trial to get whatever result you want, and there are dozens of ways to do it.

I'll start with my own experience here. When I was at college I did work-study in a laboratory run by a couple of professors who were doing research in a health-related field. They ran what were publicly claimed to be double-blind controlled studies. They weren't actually blinded at all. The actual work of assessing the data required judgment calls from grad students who knew perfectly well that their positions depended on getting results that supported the theory the professors favored. (We talked about it more than once.) Thus the research was completely fraudulent -- but it got ample grant money and media recognition, so nobody asked hard questions.

I've spoken to many other people who did the same sort of work-study grunt work in university laboratories, and nearly all of them have described the same general type of fraud -- part of a culture of pervasive dishonest that not only goes unpunished but receives ample rewards in terms of money, publicity, and influence. When somebody says "X was tested by an RCT," it's unsafe to assume anything other than "the manufacturer of X handed over money to a university lab and got the results they paid for."

Effective Immediately IVM Is OTC in Idaho

[(Anonymous)]

I feel excited to share that the governor of Idaho signed the OTC Ivermectin bill into law:
https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/capitol-watch/idaho-governor-signs-bill-making-ivermectin-available-without-prescription-law/277-f45f6beb-c95a-4355-9feb-bfdc744f6d4a

No more horse paste for me! =-)

On a related note, I also learned yesterday that Little changed his mind about signing into law the health freedom bill because he got pressured from so many directions. The bill's opponents were trying to carve out day care centers as an exemption (meaning they wanting to require all kids in licensed day care centers to be vaccinated) to the bill's mandates and the bill's authors said "no way" because they realized they had the support to get the bill through after Little's first veto. Little apparently decided the optics would be bad for him if he stood by his original veto.

Progress in my opinion....

"MARKS KNOWS WHAT BOBBY IS GONNA FIND IN THAT FEDERAL DATABASE ON VACCINE DEATHS AND INJURIES. HE KNOWS.

That's why he's making the media rounds right now after he got FIRED for trying to block Bobby & his researcher's access to the database. He's out there FURIOUSLY trying to do damage control. There has been a MASSIVE decades-long COVERUP by our 'public servants' who've been running our government health/medical agencies that were CAPTURED by Big Pharma years n' years ago. RFK Jr. is about to END THE COVER UP.

When he does, American parents are going to be absolutely and completely and utterly and totally OUT FOR BLOOD over what they were TRICKED into doing to their kids with these vaccines. and you can quote me on that."

I'm not so sure. It will be extremely hard for most parents to admit they did something (albeit unwittingly) that damaged their child. I think a lot of them will cling to the idea that it's just bad luck that their child is autistic etc. Also, people who consider themselves smart find it very hard to admit that they were duped. I don't think there will be any lynching of those responsible for vaccine injuries. We will lucky if any of them get convicted and spend even one day in prison.

how 'bout the Covid database revealed?

[drhooves]

A recent podcast(#421) from Jim Kunstler had Chris Martenson on, and he was asking about getting to the "data" - which is around somewhere - showing Covid Vax Status vs side effects and reactions and current health.

Yeah, folks will get emotional over kids getting injured from the mandatory series of Jabs pre-Covid, but the injuries and deaths have been much greater post-Covid since the MRNA shots are so much worse.

But I certainly agree that up until now, justice seems very elusive.

Paracelsus, On the Imagination (as a cause of Pestilence)

[scotlyn]

Here is a bit of (serious) fun... :)

I have copied an entire passage from my copy of a 1975 facsimile reprint of the 1656 "Englished" edition of The Archidoxes of Magic by Paracelsus.

This passage is entitled "On Imagination" and grouped with others under the general heading of "Occult Philosophy".

It contains alchemical stuff which goes over my head, but personally I was struck by the image of fearful news "piercing through the skin" and in that way, entering the imagination. Also, by the way the passage confirms the wisdom of keeping news and social media off (or at least well turned down low). And finally, how it emphasises the value of this forum (and any other similar gatherings) for "comforting" one another and easing us out of our fearful imaginings. However the "joy and mirth" that is also commended is worth pursuing. :)

Without further ado:

Archidoxes of Magic, by Paracelsus, Englished by R. Turner, 1656

"What powerful operation the Imagination hath, and how the same cometh to its exaltation, may be seen by an example taken from experience in the time of pestilence, wherein the Imagination poysoneth more than any infected Aire; and against which, no Antidote, neither of Mithridate nor Treacle, nor any such preservative, can exhibit any helpe; unless that such an imagination do pass away and be forgotten, nothing else will helpe. So quick and swift a Runner and Messenger is the Imagination that it doth not onely fly out of one house into another, out of one streete into another, but also most swiftly passeth from one City and Country into another; so that by the Imagination onely of one person, the Pestilence may come into some whole City or Country, and kill many thousands of men: as may be understood by this example.

"Put case there were two brothers dearly loving one another, and one of them lives in France and the other travels into Italy, who is taken away by Pestilence in the middle way, and newes should be brought to the brother living in France, that his brother in Italy was dead of the Plague; at which he being affrighted, it pierceth through his Skin, into his imagination, so that he cannot forget it; and it is kindled in him, and this fire doth so long reverberate and worke, as it may be seen in the tryal of Gold and Silver, which do send forth their flowers so long, until they shine bright again; which is not until they are perfectly cleare, and separated from the other impure Metals: After the same manner also the Imagination striketh back, and worketh itself unto the highest degree, and there will be a relucency thereof, now it is received in a vessel in the man, as the sperme of a man is received in the Matrix of the woman, whereby the conception of the woman immediately follows.

"So doth the Pestilence go from one to another, so long till it spread over a whole City or Country: It is good therefore to keep far off; not because of any corrupt or infected Aire, for it infects not the Aire (as some ignorant people say), but that they may not see or heare the operations of the Pestilence, which may infect their mindes. But those people to whom any such newes is reported as beforesaid, ought not to be left alone, neither must they be suffered to muse silently within themselves, whereby Imagination may labour in their mindes; but they are to be comforted, and the Imagination is to be expelled from their mindes, by exciting them to mirth and joy.

"Neither let any think I speak of this as a fable, as though it should seem to be a light business; neither is the remedy so easie for opprest Imaginations; for the Imagination is, as it were, pitch, which easily cleaveth and sticketh, and soone taketh fire, which being kindled, is not so easily extinguished: wherefore the onely remedy to resist the Pestilence in such men is to quench and expel the force of the Imagination."

Re: Paracelsus, On the Imagination (as a cause of Pestilence)

[scotlyn]

Further to the above, when I looked up the terms Mithridate and Treacle, I was led to articles about ancient "cure all" remedies. Mithridate was called an antidote against all poisons, named after a king who, reportedly, used his prisoners as experimental guinea pigs while perfecting the complicated formula containing 64 ingredients of animal, vegetable and mineral origin. Treacle (or more properly "Venetian Treacle") was a name English apothecaries in R Turner's time would have given to a similar cure-all remedy known as Theriac. Like Mithridate, it contained many expensive ingredients and took a long time to mature to full potency, and was therefore a luxury item sought after by the rich.

Here is a fascinating paper entitled: "Venetian treacle and the foundation of medicines regulation", J. P. Griffin, British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2004.

Update fron the Netherlands

[boccaccio]

Here’s an update from the Netherlands on Covid and related developments

My general impression is that tensions are high. Many sensitive people seem to have quite a lot of challenges with sleep and emotional, mental or fysical health. Last Monday’s MM saw a lot of talk on strange neurological issues showing up. I was too late to chime in, but my own neurological issues have been bad recently. The past 5-6 weeks I basically had a headache every day. Fellow Dutchman Rintrah shared on his blog that he had such severe acute psychosis that he had to be put in an institution. He seems somewhat better now. My sense is that tensions are still rising and that it becomes ever more difficult to solve everyday conflicts in a constructive manner, but my perception could be colored due to my own struggles.

Dutch organization ANWB reported that this year’s ski season has been brutal. Ski accidents were up +20% from last year which already was a high. The conditions were not especially bad, so they couldn’t give an explanation.

I’ve lost interest in closely following excess mortality but still keep a light tab on it. The general trend is that yearly rates are stable at 8-9% excess mortality compared to pre-Covid rates. Last year saw a declining trend in Q1, but Q2 and Q3 saw an increase such that in Q3 the year so far was the deadliest since the start of the Coof. But Q4 saw a lower than usual excess mortality so that at the end of the year the overall mortality was back at the post-Coof average. My reading of the situation is that we are looking at long-term increase of mortality by 8-9% and that the lower mortality in Q4 can be explained by a pull-forward effect from Q2 and Q3.

More interesting is a breakdown of the mortality in age and gender. Statistician Herman Steigstra did just that. He found that most mortality is in the under 60 yrs category and that the eldest ages have no excess mortality at all. Especially women ages 30-50 are hit hard (+20-30%). Excess mortality in the younger age categories doesn’t show any sign of abating, ominously it actually seems to increase.

The Dutch parliament recently discussed excess mortality with the deputy minister for Health Karremans. Out of 150 members of parliament, no less than 3 MP’s engaged on the subject. They were all from coalition parties. The opposition didn’t even bother to attend the meeting. Two proposals were submitted. One asking for investigation of the excess mortality amongst women 30-50 while the other caught the manipulation of the baseline expectation mortality and wanted Karremans to discuss this with health agency RIVM. Karremans rejected the first proposal because “the numbers weren’t coming from scientists” (abject nonsense of course) and made no serious commitment to the second. A few days later the second proposal was accepted by parliament but it’s clear there won’t be any real action coming from it. All in all a very disappointing showing.

The larger point here is that I notice that issues are not being solved any more and that politics and media focus on irrelevant nonsense to give the populace the illusion that they are working at things. Three weeks ago the coalition almost fell and the media and politicians were screaming from the top of their lungs about it. The issue was embarrassingly irrelevant: a minister didn’t want to give 5 people a non-financial award. Seriously, that was all! In the same week it was announced that 5 refineries and 2 chemical plants are going to shut down, but nobody had time for it. Same with the announcement that Tata Steel is going to downsize 1600 jobs. The deindustrialization is gaining speed and nobody in The Hague notices. If I were in a leadership position I would wonder what 800B euro’s investment in weapons is going to do if we don’t have basic industries to produce steel, fuel and chemicals. Maybe we’re gonna fight the Russians with crossbows? The way it’s going my country will resemble Zimbabwe very fast, of course after the obligatory economic crash followed by civil war. It looks like the issues with the vax will go unnoticed. Soon we will have such immense problems that nobody will care.

Re: Update fron the Netherlands

[(Anonymous)]

I know this is a bit off topic, but since Tata Steel was already mentioned, has everyone heard about British Steel? The company, with the last blast furnace in the U.K. that produces high-strength virgin steel, was bought by a Chinese company several years ago. That company now wants to shut the plant down, saying it's not economical, and refuses to bring in material to keep the blast furnace running. (Apparently, if you ever shut the thing down after it has begun operation, it is effectively impossible to restart again. I have no idea why.) After negotiations with the company failed, the Brits are moving to nationalize it this month to keep it going--for the moment.

But, they're saying it still may be converted to producing a lower grade of steel with different equipment, and that could not be reversed. This would leave them without a domestic supply of the high-quality steel needed for tall buildings and similar things (like maybe warships?). It is easy to suspect that the original purchase was part of a long-term strategy by China to remove that industrial capacity from the U.K.

Also, the Welsh are p*ssed because the blast furnace operated there was allowed to be shut down years ago with no such effort to save it.

Definitely a cover-up, and I wouldn't be surprised if the pressure to do so came from a higher level than the Queensland (and even Australian) government.

Ahem.

This is not a general forum for anything unacceptable to CNN, or what have you. It exists to facilitate discussion of the Covid-19 fiasco and issues directly relevant to it, subject to the rules listed in the opening post.

Today I've deleted one attempted comment going on about David Icke's theories and another about the British justice system. Neither of these had anything to do with Covid-19, or vaccines, or anything connected with them. Both were anonymous, and both were deleted. (It's not impossible that both were deliberate attempts at forum dilution -- I could well imagine rent-a-trolls being hired to do that, now that safety issues surrounding vaccination are getting more publicity.) One way or another, though, off topic comments will be deleted. 'Nuf said.

I think this relates to the covid jabs— orthogonally, anyway. RFK's speech today on C-span about autism is major:

https://informedchoice.substack.com/p/secretary-kennedy-has-just-busted

(that's a link to the approx 10 minute-long clip of the C-span video via Australian medical freedom activist Meryl Dorey's substack)

So the autisim epidemic is real. It's horrific. It's not an artifact of better reporting, as RFK makes clear. I doubt that the legacy media will report much of this straight, if at all. But too many people have autistic children, and most of the rest of us don't have seen the increasing prevalance of autisim up close. This elephant of a story hasn't got any place to hide.

Don't think it was the Froot Loops.

About RFK's conference on austism today. It is important to know— though the mainstream media isn't reporting this— that RFK's focus was on the kids who have severe autisum, some 25% of them now, and who cannot speak, use the toilet, etc. Not the "on the spectrum" autistic kids, but the far more serious, debilitating cases, and which have been becoming much more common in recent years.

Attorney Jeff Childers goes into more detail in his post for today.

here is an update from Tamara Lich:


We weren’t able to secure a date yesterday for the sentencing hearing and instead another ‘speak to’ was set for April 28. In addition to time needed to enter numerous impact statements (coincidentally and conveniently comprised of individuals suing us for $300,000,000.00), the Crown has added a forfeiture order to seize Big Red which will add significant time to argue. Therefore I suspect all parties will need to find 4-5 days in their schedules for the sentencing hearing.

The Crown is also seeking two years in federal prison for each of us.

Three days were tentatively set aside at the end of May for a Stay of Proceedings application put forth yesterday by Ms. Magus on Chris’ behalf.

And so The Longest Mischief Trial of All Time continues to plod along, still no end in sight.

This is absolutely unconscionable. Big Red is not 'just' a symbol of the Freedom Convoy - it is the means for Chris Barber to earn a living (he is the owner of a family-operated trucking business). This is like locking up a carpenter's shop so that he can't ply his trade. And for no reason other than spite. Rubbing salt into the wounds. Just when one thinks that lawfare cannot get any worse, TPTB raise the bar yet again...

Three years ago I had a vision of a bronze Big Red monument in Ottawa. Now I am certain that it will happen. It is just a matter of time and the turning of the Wheel of Fate.

both of his books - "tools for conviviality" and "medical nemesis" are insightful. Interestingly they are gone from our public library although the one on homeschooling remains.

"Most curable sickness can now be diagnosed and treated by laymen. People find it so difficult to accept this statement because the complexity of medical ritual has hidden from them the simplicity of its basic procedures. It took the example of the barefoot doctor in China to show how modern practice by simple workers in their spare time could, in three years, catapult health care in China to levels unparalleled elsewhere. In most other countries health care by laymen is considered a crime. A seventeen-year-old friend of mine was recently tried for having treated some 130 of her high-school colleagues for VD. She was acquitted on a technicality by the judge when expert counsel compared her performance with that of the U.S. Health Service. Nowhere in the U.S.A. can her achievement be considered “standard,” because she succeeded in making retests on all her patients six weeks after their first treatment. Progress should mean growing competence in self-care rather than growing dependence.

The possibilities of lay therapy also run up against our
commitment to “better” health, and have blinded us to the
distinction between curable and incurable sickness. This is a
crucial distinction because as soon as a doctor treats incurable
sickness, he perverts his craft from a means to an end. He
becomes a charlatan set on providing scientific consolation in a
ceremony in which the doctor takes on the patient’s struggle
against death. The patient becomes the object of his ministrations
instead of a sick subject who can be helped in the process of
healing or dying. Medicine ceases to be a legitimate profession
when it cannot provide each man or his next of kin with the tool to
make this one crucial differential diagnosis for himself."

Alergy treatment comparison to continuous boosters

[(Anonymous)]

Dr. John Campbell had a guest on recently that discussed the similarities between allergy treatment and getting boosters with the same ingredients over and over. He said that when you treat an allergy you give small doses of the allergen to the patient over a time period and they desensitize the patient to that allergen. He said that it could be possible that when you give the same "vaccine" over and over again, you are making the patient become desensitized to the ingredients of the booster and thus end up having negative efficacy to the treatment.
So to me, it looks like one vaccine sensitizes you to the disease and it makes you fight it better and many boosters de-sensitizes you to the disease and your body cannot fight it off any longer.

Re: Alergy treatment comparison to continuous boosters

[(Anonymous)]

This is an extremely important point, but not a new argument. I heard this mentioned, when the IgG4-related papers came out in 2022. Several people argued at that time that repeated boosting would lead to developing immune tolerance for the virus, which is exactly opposite to what the vaxx-pushers were proposing.

"We are not done. Not by a long shot. What went wrong was EVERYTHING. And I, for one, won’t stop shouting about it until that is acknowledged, apologized for and until those people who did the wrong thing over and over again are de-fanged and de-clawed."

i just saw this posted

THE ORIGIN

“The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory — was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated naturally.

Week 193

Thank you, JMG, and thank you forumistas.

I may be the 11th person to post this, but here goes:

This is the official page for the Us President. He's calling covid 19 a lab leak. I found out about this via el gato— very interesting to see gato's take on it:

breaking news: here it comes
the white house just declared war on the covid conspirators
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/breaking-news-here-it-comes


My hot take: people are going to be arguing until Kingdom Come about viruses and conspiracy theories and the jabs (and that DJT promoted them, etc etc), but this does constitute a major, very concrete step. The White House is going after those who engaged in unauthorized gain of function research and who then lied about it.

Yes, many Americans have Trump Derangement Syndrome (I know what it looks like, I have some in my own family), so Trump could say, "boo" and they would say "bah." But I think that there are now way too many people, all across the political spectrum, who know perfectly well that the lockdowns were wrong, that the masks were just theater, the mandates were outrageous, and the jabs have been useless, except to kill and injure large numbers of the people who take them. I think this is going to turn into a real shalestorm.

Since this is the forum that it is, I'll go further and say I can sense the shalestorm on the astral. It's a feeding bonanza for negs. Banishing crucial.

When I read the Bad Cat's article, I remembered a vision a clairvoyant had a few years back that was reported on here by JMG. The clairvoyant saw in the month of May the rage of the people and the physical tearing apart of someone. I can't remember the details exactly, but I do remember a couple of Mays went by and it didn't happen. There was some talk here of the month being right but not necessarily the year we were expecting it to happen.

I also remember JMG saying to look out for a sudden change in everyone's thinking as a sign the energies from the divine that had been working their way down the planes has finally hit the human world. I was also a little shocked to see Fauci's picture on the White House's page and the seeming mockery of the pardon. If there was an attempt to direct the rage, this would be it.

So, here we are in April, the White House has posted this declaration on their website, the shalestorm has now moved down to the astral, everything seems to be lining up and things are heating up. A couple more official announcements and things might really go off the rails.

If this is the correct year, brace yourself.

University of California San Francisco Study - Damning for the Jabs

[(Anonymous)]

This won't surprise anyone on this forum, but for the record:

BREAKING: New UCSF study shows vaccinated 6x more likely to be hospitalized than unvaxxed.
Nearly 30,000 people were surveyed. You had a 6X greater risk of hospitalization post vaccine than post infection. This is a disaster and should cause the vaccines to be revoked in any sane society.

From the beginning of the craziness, I've tried to give some small financial support to researchers and organizations willing to look honestly at the vexes. On a hunch, I just searched my records and was wonderfully surprised to find that I'd sent a few bucks to one of the authors of this paper a few years back.

Since it had been so long, I figured her study had been quashed somehow--the authors are based at UC San Francisco, so there would be massive resistance to any heretical conclusions.

It's still a pre-print, so plenty of dirty tricks are still possible. But I'm very glad to have helped someone still unafraid to follow uncomfortable data to uncomfortable conclusions.

I just came upon this:

https://x.com/toobaffled/status/1912985376010223822

in which a Dr. Chris Shoemaker, on March 7, 2025, testifies to what appears to be a National Citizens Inquiry in Edmonton Alberta. If I am hearing this right, he claims an 82 times increase in deaths for a jabbed cohort of 10-14 yo children vs unjabbed. He states this is from a double blind study done in 2021 to 2022.

Has this been discussed here and I missed it?

As a scientist (retired), this is the most utterly damning thing I have seen to date. I am simply bowled over by the implications. I am truly shocked. I must now conclude that our society cannot survive this, in anything resembling its current form.

I'd be very interested in other people's thoughts on this.... Cyclone

I can't find any such study by web searching.
