Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 232

[ecosophia]

We are now into the fifth 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 all these 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 remain 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; new revelations are leaking out about just how bad the Covid vaccines are for human health; 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.

7. Please don't post LLM ("AI") generated text. This is a place for human beings to talk to other human beings, not for the regurgitation of machine-generated text. Also, please don't discuss large language models (the technology popularly and inaccurately called "artificial intelligence" these days) except as they bear directly on the Covid phenomenon. Here again, my finger is hovering over the delete button. 

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 know that ppl have been using these places for that..

DEA Operation Meltdown Shuts Down Hundreds of Illegal Online Pharmacies

https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2026/02/04/dea-operation-meltdown-shuts-down-hundreds-illegal-online-pharmacies

[charlieobert]

I just checked the two online sites I have seen having ivermectin, one of them based in India, and both are still up and running as usual. A quick search using Yandex showed a few more sites.

I wonder if this article is largely bluster, hyperbole and fearmongering - it speaks of shutting down more than 200 website domains, and it lists none of them. It also mentions six fatal overdoses, but doesn't specify from what, and gives no details - six unnamed people died from some unnamed drugs somewhere.

A little further down in mentions counterfeit pills (counterfeit of what?) made with fentanyl, which is the all-purpose drug bogeyman these days.

This may be intended to scare people away - vague undefined massive threats with no substance or follow-through.

The meme

[3bmend_135]

Do you think this will actually happen (and cause the collapse of the current medical industry)? Maybe society will eventually come to its senses and purge most late Gen Z/early Gen Alpha individuals from positions that require mental ability?

Re: The meme

[ecosophia]

Not exactly. One guess I've had for a while now is that one of the next really big scandals in American society will be the discovery that a huge number of the people who are working as physicians didn't actually qualify and don't know what they're doing, they just paid a lot of money for the credentials. Our society is so riddled by corruption and graft these days that a certificate on the wall doesn't actually mean much.

Re: The meme

At least in Canada, this process is well under way. I know, via friends and acquaintances, that the entrance requirements for medical schools in Canada have been radically revamped so that a person with a Bachelor's degree in anything (and, it seems, the further from biomedical sciences the better) can apply, and get accepted. DEI reigns supreme. No doubt the next step will be that Grade 8 drop-outs will be eligible.

I'm sure that getting brain surgery performed by a legally blind "doctor" who majored in interpretive dance and who is on six different types of anti-psychotic medications (hey - discrimination is "violence" and therefore "evil"!) will turn out just great!

Last week there was a mention of the study from Australia. Martin Neil, Norman Fenton, and Jonathan Engler weight in:
Vaccines as the cause of Australian excess deaths in 2021, and beyond

https://wherearethenumbers.substack.com/p/vaccines-as-the-cause-of-australian

PS
Martin Neil is Professor Emeritus of computer science and statistics at Queen Mary, University of London. UK.
Norman Fenton Professor of Risk (a world renowned statistician) at Queen Mary also.
Both have been speaking out against the covidian lies early and often.

[fredsmith11]

I've been tracking so-called excess deaths in Australia since 2021 using data published by the ABS. Using 2020 as a baseline and adjusting for population growth, the excess deaths are around 100,000 so far (that's twice WWII casualties). Excess death rate is currently about +10%. However, the impact is more than covered up by immigration

The same basic parameters apply in almost every heavily jabbed Western country.

Total excess deaths worldwide so far would be around 20M based on CHD numbers.

My subjective impression is that people are overall less healthy since the jabs, but I'm a natural health extremist, so my perception is skewed.

Noting that making people sick and then selling them 'treatments' that keep them sick, or make them sick in different ways, is the basis of the Western medical-profit model.

I've actually seen a newspaper article suggesting that since we know doctors are cheating on their exams using ChatGPT, we ought to just give it a medical license, and stop training doctors. Given how unreliable these systems are, this ranks up there as among the worst ideas I've ever heard, but it does look like in a few years we might have to worry about being seen by Doctor ChatGPT...

[scotlyn]

Personally, I've been saying for years that doctors were given online systems linking them to insurance companies and government health bodies so that they could "train" their replacement AI's. They are getting close to the crunch where they get massively demoted - and replaced by AI's...

(And of course, whistleblowers and leakers "revealing" the massive corruption that has allowed many people to obtain credentials they never earned, will serve this agenda, too. Power co-opts... and absolute power co-opts absolutely...)

[charlieobert]

If these stories are true, than I can see no advantage to seeing a doctor, real or virtual, over doing my own research, particularly since I can consider treatment options that are off the radar of the medical establishment.

It is true that "doctors" have access to tests I do not, but that is only helpful if they are intelligently interpreted. Without a skilled professional, those could be misleading or dangerous.

Nothing takes the place of your own due diligence and responsibility for decision making in health care. Handing off responsibility to a "trusted" expert is no longer a viable option.

Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness

Given the obsolete stuff they released, I would categorise this as limited hang out.
As bad as waxxine were, the mRNA is the current problem.
If they release the MKUltra, it was already released in the 70's. And the Congress committee did a pretty good job back then. Allegedly the MKUltra program was disbanded and documents destroyed. So there's not much else to release.



Is strange that MAHA fight waxxines while this Administration sponsored Stargate a $500 billion program to develop mRNA therapy.

Genetic therapy, drugs are already in food and health circuit. These releases just document the intent and continuity at the core of the elite.

As some people said in the previous post thread, you personally need parallel systems. There is a great chance that DOGE, MAHA are making slow to no progress because things are unreformable. As JMG said 2 decades ago, these things might not be problems but predicaments.

[fredsmith11]

There are numerous patents covering various nanotech-based, human monitoring systems registered aka the 'internet of things', where humans are also things. Vaccines are the preferred delivery mechanism.

Similarly, there are plenty of videos showing very weird stuff in blood samples - self assembling nanotech etc. Some people believe the post-jab blood clots are failures by the nanotech to self-assemble correctly.

Dear JMG and forumistas,

As ever, my profound thanks for this forum.

I note that for a while now there's been some grumbling among counter-narrative Substackers about how Substack has been limiting their reach.

Two very recent developments:

Firstly, Sasha Latypova was unable to repost her interview "about Children’s Health Defense (CHD) Citizen Petition asking the FDA to revoke BLA licensure for Pfizer’s Komirnaty and Moderna’s Spikevax Covid-19 vaccines." You can read about that, and the response of a number of other noted counter-narrative substackers who also attempted to repost or, in some cases, successfully reposted that same post, here:
https://flashlightsproductions.substack.com/cp/189095126

Secondly, Dr. Pierre Kory (best known as the leading champion of early covid treatment with ivermectin) is going to Pickax, a new platform that boasts it utilizes no algos controlling reach.
https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/p/reclaiming-the-digital-commons-no

I have no idea what's going on behind the curtain at Substack. I, and I'm sure you all, can take some guesses that aren't so wild, however.

Brownstone supper / cognitive challenges

[(Anonymous)]

Recently on this forum there has been some discussion of the Brownstone suppers, so I thought I would mention that I attended one last night in Austin, Texas. Food: nachos and enchiladas. The speaker was Dr. Delia McCabe, a "former psychologist with a neuroscience PhD"
https://www.lighterbrighteryou.life
https://deliamccabe.substack.com

Covid and medical freedom issues didn't come up, as far as I recall, apart from one audience question, and also in casual coversation among the attendees over supper. McCabe's talk, which I found fascinating and practical, was basically an overview of how LLMs and social media etc exploit certain specific weaknesses of the human brain. Some were new to me. And this ain't my first rodeo.

I bring the issue up here because over the past several years of this forum many of us have mentioned observing a notable cognitive decline in other people (especially those who took the cooties shots). In addition, our host has also discussed this issue of cognitive decline on his main blog. https://www.ecosophia.net/cognitive-collapse-a-first-reconnaissance

The Covid Justice Resolution?

[drhooves]

Not totally sure about this, but it looks at least semi-legit, based on the organizations listed supporting it. 19K signatures so far. Seems low.

Here's the first paragraph:

"To affirm the permanent lessons of the COVID-19 response, to repudiate certain emergency measures as incompatible with constitutional liberty, and to establish binding principles for any future public-health emergency."

It can be read in full (and signed) at this link:

Re: The Covid Justice Resolution?

[(Anonymous)]

The way I read it, this declaration leaves the door open for extended public health emergencies.

Section 3 parts (a) and (i) mentions emergency orders that automatically expire after 30 days unless they are renewed. Well guess what happened here in Australia? The law said that states of emergencies automatically expire after a certain period, so the government just kept on renewing them again and again for nearly two years.

Section 3 part (b) just shifts the authority upwards from public health agencies to the government, so restrictions on the public aren't completely ruled out.

Section 3 part (c) basically says that the imminent collapse of the hospital system can be used as an excuse to close schools.

Section 3 part (f) says that all data will be released in real time unless there are legitimate national security concerns. Well, wasn't covid a military operation?

Overall, the declaration says that the idea of a "public health" emergency is legitimate.

What I say is that the idea of a "pandemic" is a complete fiction - that in a society where people have access to clean water, modern sewerage systems, and a healthy diet, the idea of some virus making large swathes of the population seriously ill and collapsing the healthcare system is pure fantasy. Therefore, "public health" can never be a legitimate reason on which to declare a state of emergency. This is what any declaration should be saying, that covid was pure fear mongering that had no basis in reality.

White Clots Update

[(Anonymous)]

AICs = Anomalous Intravascular Casts (AICs)

I had been calling them white clots or fibrinaloid castings. Others have called them calamari clots, as well as other names.

Hat tip: https://vesavanhatupa.substack.com/p/new-study-on-the-embalmers-clots
which reports in detail on the 3 part paper (or 3 related papers) in pre-print by Bruce Rapley and Matt Shelton, January 2026.

* * *
FIRST PAPER
Morphological and Histological Characterisation of Anomalous Intravascular Casts (AICs)
Bruce Rapley and Matt Shelton
Abstract
Anomalous intravascular casts with firm, rubber-elastic properties have been increasingly noted by embalmers and clinicians since 2021. To establish their structural characteristics, we performed blinded morphological and histological evaluations. Gross examination revealed elongated, lumen-filling casts up to 25 cm in length, frequently branching and demonstrating elastic resistance atypical of conventional thrombi. Histology demonstrated dense fibrinous lamination with intermittent Lines of Zahn and various cellular inclusions content, suggesting antemortem formation under atypical hemodynamic conditions. These structural features differ from both physiological thrombi and postmortem clots, indicating a distinct pathological phenotype. Further biochemical and molecular analyses will be required to determine the composition and mechanisms underlying these structures.

SECOND PAPER
Elemental Characterisation of Anomalous Intravascular Casts Reveals an Abnormal Biochemical Matrix
Bruce Rapley and Matt Shelton
Abstract
In the first paper of this trilogy, anomalous intravascular casts (AICs) were established as a discrete morphological–histological phenotype distinct from conventional antemortem thrombi and ordinary postmortem clots. While those findings demonstrated that AICs form coherent, lumen-conforming intravascular structures under conditions of active blood flow, morphology and histology alone cannot determine the biochemical nature of the matrix from which such structures are formed.Blinded, multi-site elemental analyses were performed on anomalous intravascular casts using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Elemental compositions were benchmarked against whole-blood reference values and first-principles stoichiometric expectations derived from fibrinogen to assess compatibility with canonical fibrin-based clot biochemistry.AICs exhibited reproducible, non-physiological elemental ratios characterized by marked sulfur depletion, relative phosphorus enrichment, and imbalance within bulk elemental relationships. These compositional features are incompatible with protein-dominant fibrin matrices and could not be explained by simple fibrin overload, cellular aggregation, or classical coagulation artifacts.The elemental composition of anomalous intravascular casts is inconsistent with canonical thrombus biochemistry and supports the presence of a non-canonical intravascular matrix. These findings independently corroborate the structural conclusions of the first paper in this series and establish the need for protein-level analysis to identify the molecular constituents underlying this anomalous material, which is addressed in the final paper of this trilogy.
https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202601.2149

THIRD PAPE
Proteomic Characterisation of Anomalous Intravascular Casts Reveals Non-Canonical Fibrin Architecture and Impaired Fibrinolysis
Bruce Rapley and Matt Shelton
Abstract
Since early 2021, anomalous intravascular casts (AICs) have been reported that differ markedly from conventional thrombi in morphology, persistence, and mechanical behavior. Prior histological and elemental analyses suggested an atypical clot matrix.We performed blinded proteomic profiling of AIC specimens using HPLC-MS/MS (High Precision Liquid Chromatography - tandem Mass Spectrometry) to characterize their protein composition and assess markers of fibrin architecture and fibrinolytic capacity.Proteomic analysis identified 541 human proteins, dominated by fibrin-family components. However, fibrinogen chains were present in highly abnormal proportions, with pronounced depletion of the α chain relative to β and γ chains. Plasminogen was detected at extremely low abundance (0.1283% of total protein), indicating a severe deficiency in intrinsic fibrinolytic machinery.AICs exhibit a reproducible proteomic phenotype incompatible with typical fibrin biology, characterized by chain imbalance and fibrinolysis resistance. These findings support classification of AICs as structurally and functionally abnormal clot entities and motivate further mechanistic investigation.

From the first paper: "Histology demonstrated dense fibrinous lamination with intermittent Lines of Zahn and various cellular inclusions content, suggesting antemortem formation under atypical hemodynamic conditions. These structural features differ from both physiological thrombi and postmortem clots, indicating a distinct pathological phenotype."

In other words, white clots are forming in people who are alive. Pathologist Dr. Burkhardt had insisted that the white clots were so large, they must be a opst-mortem phenomenon, but apparently, if I read this correctly, this is not so.

"A typical hemodynamic conditions"— um, yeah, that's one thing the covid jabs are known to do, cause changes in the blood. A Midwestern Doctor (Substack) has written about how the jabs can cause a collapse of zeta potential.

Early on there was a lot of talk about pine needle tea being very effective for covid jabs detox. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere in maybe 2 years. Which is peculiar.
