German Press Covers Pfizer Pfraud by Igor Chudov
The article explains that Pfizer unblinded and removed numerous patients who suffered adverse events from the Covid vaccine trial. It also gives examples of Pfizer subjects whose deaths were covered up.
Die Welt also describes Argentine lawyer Augusto Roux, who remained alive, but whose sufferings were written off as “anxiety.”
Die Welt mentions that Pfizer’s contracts included a liability waiver even for Pfizer's negligence and for "fraud or bad faith on the part of Pfizer itself."
I expect this “fraud waiver” will be litigated furiously in many countries.
The most important determinant of how much “Corona reckoning” we will see is the future fate of humanity and the disturbing trends of excess mortality and infertility.
Shimabukuro #Denominatorgate by Steve Kirsch
In Preliminary Findings of mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons, Tom Shimabukuro and other CDC authors used data from VAERS and v-safe to estimate pregnancy complications. They concluded that “Preliminary findings did not show obvious safety signals among pregnant persons who received mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.”
But they later admitted to a very serious error in this response. They admitted that they should NOT have used a denominator of 827 because 700 received their first eligible vaccine dose in the third trimester. Here is what they wrote:
We agree that the denominator used in that proportion — 827 completed pregnancies — is not an appropriate denominator for the calculation of a risk estimate or rate.
So when you take out the 700 from the denominator, you get 104/127=81.8% which is now sounding a lot like Kory’s number from the Pfizer documents, isn’t it?
the CDC submitted a new estimate for the rate of spontaneous abortion which they claimed was 12.8% (age-standardized), and in the worst case, no more than 18.5% on an age-standardized basis
So their new best estimate was 12.8% which to me is remarkable since they admit they used the wrong denominator in their original study (827 vs. 127), yet are now able to get the same result (12.6% in the paper and 12.8% in their new analysis).
Australia: Pandemic Of Vax by Ma Mu
This new analysis of raw, official, unmanipulated data from The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) confirms what many of us, who trust our own eyes and ears, have been suspecting for years: There never was a Covid pandemic in 2020. Let’s be clear: There was a virus that was making people sick and killing some people, but not more so than in any previous years.
The author argues convincingly that the actual Covid injections caused an iatrogenic pandemic in Australia in 2021 and 2022. Iatrogenic means caused by medical examination or treatment. If this work holds up to scrutiny, it looks like this is convincing evidence that the state of Australia is directly responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of its citizens by manipulating, coercing, or mandating them to take unsafe, deadly Covid injections.
UK Deaths Trending Toward Normal by Carl Heneghan & Tom Jefferson
Overall, a topsy-turvy week in that deaths are down, as are ambulance wait times; covid is on the turn, and staff absences are through the roof. As for delayed discharges, there’s no change afoot.
In the week ending 3 February 2023 Week 5), 13,412 deaths were registered in England and Wales, 1.4 per cent above the ONS’s 5-year average. So deaths are heading back to somewhere near normal; what 2023 has in store remains to be seen.
America’s Booming Culture by Ted Gioia
A hundred thousand songs are uploaded daily to streaming platforms.
In the last year, 1.7 million books were self-published.
Every minute, 2,500 videos are uploaded to YouTube.
There are now 3 million podcasts—and 30 million podcast episodes were released last year.
About 86% of youngsters want to grow up to become influencers, and they contribute to these impressive numbers.
there are now 36 YouTube channels with more than 50 million subscribers—each of these has far more reach than any record label or newspaper.
The New York Times, by comparison, has just 9 million subscribers. That’s a drop in the bucket compared to MrBeast, who runs more than a dozen YouTube channels with an estimated 200 million aggregate subscribers—and now has his videos translated into Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, and Russian.
These alternative people and platforms represent the only really successful audience development force in contemporary culture. By comparison, everybody else’s efforts are minuscule—even prestigious institutions such as Harvard University and The New York Times.
Failure To Strive by el gato malo
this bizarre modern fixation upon the idea that all difficulties are pathologies and that no one ever had a hard time or found life confusing or adolescence disorienting before and that everyone needs to be medicated has become a full blown mental illness of its own.
it’s not the people who are sick.
it’s a severe societal problem and likely a symptom of a society that’s broken.
people do not need more pharmaceutical intervention or piles of predatory struggle session therapy/re-education regimens.
they need to strive.
and calling every hardship “disease and pathology” stops this. it’s a lazy answer. it’s the replacing of the weight room and the sprint circuit with cheetos and a couch.
Leaving The Cult by Sasha Stone
It was a lie that Trump was a fascist. We’re closer to fascism now than we’ve ever been as a country with the Democrats in power. And it was always a lie that Trump World was a cult.
The cult of the Left is ruled by fanatics, zealots, and true believers. While there really are people who suffer from gender dysphoria - and trans people do exist, in my view - they aren’t part of the cult of the Left so much as they have become sacred symbols of it.
To be a member of the cult you have to be always deferential to the sacred and protected groups. America is still majority white, majority Christian and majority heterosexual nation. That means cult members have to either “cross over” as non-binary or trans to be “saved” or they have to be good allies
The women are bad enough - trading their journey of empowerment for endless self-punishment over their whiteness. So now their children are being used as sacred symbols for their path toward salvation. They might not be sacred themselves but they are “holy mothers” of the sacred which gives them some status.
Cults separate children from parents. Cults separate mothers from their biological impulse to protect their children. Watching Democrats wear pins to the State of the Union that said “abortion” was yet another sign that the cult seeks to destroy the bond between mother and child.
The cult seems to want less power for the mother, for women. No one decides the gender of their child at birth. Mothers don’t know, can’t know their children. They aren’t to be trusted, after all. They are earthly, not sacred, people. Their gender doesn’t really mean anything anymore - their status as mothers is only useful if it produces a sacred being.
Years from now when all of these young people come to us to ask, Where were you? Why didn’t you protect us? What are we going to say?
CDC: A Vax Sales Team by Kelley K
In 2020, pediatric Covid deaths in Georgia included a drowning, a severe car crash, an infant with “serious medical conditions,” and a child with a number of complex medical issues.
it seemed obvious to me that investigating rare pediatric deaths would be an important role for the CDC, to inform parents and pediatricians about any known risk factors and provide guidance for caring for sick children. To my surprise (at the time), those investigations never happened.
And look what Moderna is working on now — vaccines for infants 3-5 months of age! I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the CDC specifically called out the high rate of hospitalizations for babies under 6 months at a recent VRBPAC. They are positioning themselves to promote a vaccine for younger infants next.
In order to hide myocarditis risks, the CDC also routinely obscures the risk-benefit for vaccination in this age group by ignoring age stratification of both Covid and the vaccine.
“Experts” Wrong On Natural Immunity by Ian Miller
The most profound and important graphic is the comparison for Omicron immunization.
Against the currently dominant variant, past infection thoroughly outperformed Moderna and Pfizer’s mRNA vaccination in both re-infection and symptomatic disease.
It's almost impossible to be more wrong than Fauci, Birx, Mother Jones, dismissive "experts" and "fact checkers" have been over the past few years.
Vax Result In Cognitive Disfunction by Dr. Peter McCullough
There is now abundant evidence that the synthetic lipid nanoparticles travel into the brain and install the genetic code (mRNA or adenoviral DNA) for the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein.
As this protein is produced and accumulates in the brain, it can cause inflammation and also fold into an amyloid plaque. Thus, there is strong rationale for some vaccine recipients to develop mild cognitive dysfunction, Alzheimer’s like dementia, and other forms of neurocognitive decline.
If a senior citizen is already confused or has cognitive decline, any further vaccination is contraindicated. In patients such as this, further booster shots are likely to worsen the condition and should be avoided.
Booster Causes BA.2 Wave by Fabian Spieker
The only dose series which lines up all jurisdictions including Puerto Rico in a very tight channel was the booster series administered to children aged 12-17 beginning in Q4’2021.
The US booster campaign of 12-17 year old children in late Q1 of 2022 allowed BA.2 to gain predominance, causing over 15 million infections.
For every boostered resident aged 12-17 per resident aged 12-17 6.9% (95% CI: 5.9%-7.8%) of a region’s population caught the infection in the 8 weeks starting with calendar week 12 of 2022. Regions with low booster rates among their child population only saw neglible BA.2 case rates at the time.
it seems BA.2 would possibly never have been sequenced at all if it weren’t for the boostering of children.
Roald Dahl Memory-Holed by Naked Emperor
Roald Dahl is one of the most successful children’s authors ever. I don’t know about the rest of the world but in the UK his books are a staple of childhood. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG, The Witches, Danny the Champion of the World, The Twits, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach and Fantastic Mr Fox are just a few titles that you will probably have heard of.
In 2021 Netflix bought the rights to Roald Dahl’s books from the Dahl Estate. However, the Ministry of Truth got hold of the books the year before when publisher Puffin and the Roald Dahl Story Company started to change words and phrases within the books. Sometimes they just removed things altogether.
Gen Z Revival In Kentucky by Olivia Reingold
Meerkreebs told me he was certain that he had “totally whiffed” the sermon, and immediately got off stage and texted his wife, “Latest stinker. I’ll be home soon.”
But students, moved by his message, lingered.
At first, he said it was just eighteen of them who stayed back to pray while everyone else headed to class. But then students began texting each other: you need to come back to chapel, something is happening.
Every day, more students came, praying and singing around the clock, taking shifts between classes and mealtimes and even at bedtime to the point the chapel never emptied. Soon, reports of similar around-the-clock prayer sessions were popping up at other college campuses
“We’re seeing a great awakening of 18- to 25-year-olds,” says Garrett English, who drove all the way from Clemson University in South Carolina to witness the scenes for himself. “This right here—this is amazing. We are seeing college-age students fighting for other college students’ faith.”
When I notice he’s holding back tears, I ask him why. “Seeing this next generation come to life does my heart good.”
New Zealand 2022 Booster Data by Aussie17
Within the last six months of 2022, boosted patients died almost four times compared to the unvaccinated and fully vaccinated.
It looks like the Booster was the Kill Shot!
Empty Values Of Lemon & CNN by Jennifer Sey
Just this past week, Don Lemon made yet another sexist comment when he asserted that Nikki Haley, a Republican Presidential candidate, was past her prime — at 51. As a 56 year old man, his defense of this misogynistic, retrograde assertion: Google said so.
Even though it seems to be mostly Republican women who Lemon believes are incapable of contributing in the public arena after a certain age, he has also demonstrated sexist intolerance on-air in how he treats his female co-workers.
CNN’s willingness to leave Lemon in place for so long — with repeated offenses under his belt — is representative of the Democratic Party overall. They pay lip service to equality and inclusion, and apparently to masking — when it serves them.
Vax Quality Control Issues by A Midwestern Doctor
Since the start of the rollout, many people were seriously concerned about the potential quality control issues with the vaccines, and from almost the start of the vaccine rollout, it has been abundantly clear there are serious issues which are leading to a high variability over what ends up in each vaccine.
With the COVID-19 vaccines, the most likely points of fraud were:
Producing preclinical data (e.g., animal studies) that claimed that the vaccines were safe and effective.
Altering the clinical trials to erroneously claim the vaccines were safe.
Altering the clinical trials to erroneously claim the vaccines were effective.
Failing to producing the claimed vaccine product (there were quite a few almost insurmountable production challenges for doing this).
Viruses…do not typically infect bacteria. One of the many odd characteristics of COVID-19, however, is that it does (I first learned about it from this post which discussed an Italian study that demonstrated how it happens). This is important, since a sustained infection of the gut microbiome with SARS-CoV-2 can transmit the virus into your stools and sustain its presence within the body.
Throughout the pandemic, [Dr. Sabine] Hazan has observed that unhealthy changes in the gut microbiome predisposed one to a severe COVID-19 infection and that SARS-CoV-2 infects the gut microbiome
More importantly, Hazan has also observed that COVID-19 vaccination pathologically alters the gut microbiome so that the bacteria she had found that would typically prevent a severe COVID-19 infection (and many other conditions) instead disappear and no longer serve their protective function.
the best guess I have heard from Hazan was that the spike protein produced by the vaccines is a toxin that kills the good bacteria
Berberine The Nutraceutical by Dr. Robert Malone
berberine appears to be one of the most powerful tools we have to regulate insulin and yet, because there is no profit in promoting this product, there is almost no publicity or significant research into its clinical benefits.
Berberine works by binding to a variety of individual enzymes and altering their efficiency.
its uses have varied greatly and include treating infections, sores, and as an antimicrobial for various kinds of gastrointestinal inflammation.
Time For Kink-Shaming by The 21st Century Salonnière
Lemieux has been allowed to wear fetish items on the basis of his “gender identity and gender expression” because apparently the school board thinks he believes he’s a woman, and this is how he wishes to express himself.
When he’s at school, he dresses like — sorry — a weirdo with a breast fixation, with the school board’s endorsement and protection. When he’s at home, he dresses like a guy.
According to the linked article above, Lemieux’s neighbor says, “He wears prosthetic breasts extremely infrequently.… He puts the breasts on to teach, occasionally when he goes for a walk or when the cops visit.”
Teacher Lemieux and his enormous prosthetic breasts look for all the world like a person who’s so addicted to his sexual fantasy that it’s getting more extreme and out of control.
when an adult in a position of authority has an obvious fetish, and he insists on living it out in front of his nonconsenting students for his own sexual gratification, the time for kink-shaming is long overdue.
O’Keefe Out At Project Veritas by Sage Hana
The alleged reason for the split is being framed as O’Keefe being a “mean boss” and “sketchy use of funds” stuff, see PV statement below.
It may, and I stress may, be a bit more cloak and dagger than that.
Independent journalist George Webb crashed a Twitter Spaces Project Veritas fundraiser and alerted O’Keefe to a Jordon Walker Boston Consulting Group paper on Remdesivir.
Webb’s thesis is that O’Keefe went off script, rogue, and started tracking Jordon Walker beyond Pfizer to Boston Consulting Group which was an apparent key player in the 2020 Plandemic Remdesivir Hospital Protocols.
It’s all very WEFFIE, which makes sense, as the WEF is made up of Fortune 500 corporations and all zeeee penetrated Cabinets…at root this is the Mussolini Fascism on steroids, the marriage of State (Global) and Industry (Global).
SARS-CoV-2 Natural Immunity by Carl Heneghan & Tom Jefferson
a recent Lancet systematic review shows past SARS-CoV-2 infection protects against subsequent reinfection and severe disease.
protection against severe disease was high for all variants, with roughly 90 per cent protection at 40 weeks.
A total of 65 studies from 19 countries were included in the review; 23 were rated as good, 32 as fair and eight as poor quality. However, the review does have some limitations: the number of studies is low compared to the issue's importance, and there is limited data beyond 40 weeks after the initial infection. There are also variations in the methods for ascertaining past infection status that could affect the results.
The results also highlight the ridiculousness of mandates that were never a good idea.
The results also further call into doubt the covid strategy, which was driven by inexperienced and unprepared commentators who considered there was no protective immunity from SARs-CoV-2 infection or reinfection was an unknown scary concept. More importantly, these same commentators and several advisors proposed that developing infection-acquired population immunity was a dangerous idea.
