Booster At 1.3% Uptake by PETER MCCULLOUGH, MD
On October 4, 2023, the Reuters indicated that uptake of the new but already outdated XBB.1.5 boosters was a paltry 1.3%. It is now very likely that word-of-mouth on vaccine injuries, disabilities, and deaths has spread to virtually every American. The country knows the novel genetic products that code for an endless production of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein are not safe.
Defining Covid by TOM JEFFERSON & CARL HENEGHAN
Perhaps the biggest problem is the total lack of definition of a case of Covid. Only two studies published in 2020 used or referred to a definition (WHO’s). Further investigation revealed that the definition used was a clinical one. It defined a respiratory syndrome without laboratory confirmation. Although we “marked up” one study in the ROBINS I tool, the definition lacks specificity, which is highly problematic if the target for your actions is SARS-CoV-2. As some of the studies compare the results of different models or compare epidemic data before and after one or more interventions, such comparisons are invalid unless a standardised credible definition of a “case” is used.
Childhood Death Rate Dropped 30% by 2ND SMARTEST GUY IN THE WORLD
lockdowns had the ‘unfortunate’ side effect of lowering routine childhood vaccination rates. Yet evidence is now coming to light that the predicted decline in vaccinations might actually have had a positive impact.
he death rate for American children dropped during lockdowns when many parents were unable to take their children for their scheduled vaccinations. During this period childhood deaths dropped by 30% going from an average of seven hundred deaths per week to fewer than five hundred during the months of April and May 2020.
According to Dr. Collin Lynn, a family physician based in California, “It’s definitely possible that we’re at a tipping point where we’re giving too many vaccines. Sometimes I wonder if in the future we’ll look back at the 2000s and say, “What were we thinking? Why were we giving so many vaccines?”
Stand With by CJ HOPKINS
If you “stand with” the nation-state of Israel and its ongoing efforts to wipe out and otherwise remove the Palestinians from the territory it controls, I get it. The United States of America did that to its indigenous population. The British Empire did it in its colonies. A lot of nations and empires did it. It is standard nation-state behavior. There is nothing aberrational about it. If you can live with supporting that … OK, go for it, but spare me the sanctimony and the “unprovoked attack” crap.
If you “stand with” the Palestinians in their ongoing efforts to not get wiped out, or otherwise removed from their homeland, I get it. My sympathies are with them too. I’ve never found nation-states particularly sympathetic, especially when they are in their Mercilessly-Wiping-Out-the-Indigenous-Population phase. However, if you believe that “standing with” the Palestinians means celebrating mass murder, and making excuses for it like “settlers are not civilians” … OK, fine, but count me out.
Blunt Force Vax by ASHMEDAI
The deviation in September is so monstrous that it seems like a caricature, or maybe a mad-libs insertion, but not actual data.
How can the answer to “what is the next number in this sequence: 6,4,6,6,6,5,_?” be. . . *29*?!?
there is clearly substantial excess mortality in Nevada involving physical accidents that begins in 2021.
The bizarre, cartoonish explosion of such deaths in September 2021 among 18-49 year old’s, and to a lesser extent in Sep/Oct 2022, defy any sort of conventional epidemiological wisdom. That’s what you’d expect if there was a terrorist attack. It certainly was not covid, that’s for sure.
Of course, our austere public health officials cannot be bothered to address actual public health concerns.
Pfizer Pfraud Bankruptcy? by IGOR CHUDOV
Ed Dowd, a former asset manager,…explained that legal protection granted to Pfizer by the PREP act will cease to protect it if significant fraud on the part of Pfizer is discovered.
The stock market may be waking up to the possibility that Pfizer may go bankrupt due to the upcoming Covid vaccine claims. Many parallels can be drawn between the corporate behaviors of Pfizer and Purdue Pharma, another pharmaceutical concern that dishonestly and aggressively marketed harmful products. Purdue Pharma went bankrupt due to the greed and depravity of its leaders, as their “legal protections” evaporated. The same may happen to Pfizer.
Old, experienced vaccine companies like GSK refused to participate in “Covid vaccines” - and we now see why they made the right choice.
ND Vs SD by THOMAS VERDUYN, TODD KENYON & JONATHAN ENGLER
Many studies have been undertaken to examine how successful lockdowns were at curtailing ‘Covid mortality.’ The general consensus of the articles we have encountered is that lockdowns had no discernible influence on the trajectory of Covid.[8] In a previous article,[9] we demonstrated this visually with a graph that plotted Covid cases in two mid-western states, namely North and South Dakota. We chose these two states because they are adjacent to each other, enjoy relatively similar climates, have comparable population densities, and, significantly, took divergent paths in responding to Covid. North Dakota chose to lock down somewhat, while South Dakota opted for no lockdowns at all. Despite what some might have expected, the curves were almost identical for the two states.
Thrombosis Post-Vax by PETER MCCULLOUGH, MD
Woo, et al, from the Office of Biostatistics and Pharmacovigilance, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring Maryland, reported a large number of blood clots in the US from the Janssen adenoviral DNA COVID-19 vaccine. They describe clots extending from the ankle to the groin. I have seen this in my practice with both mRNA and adenoviral vaccines. This nothing like I have seen before.
Bekal et al, reported cases of obvious mRNA vaccine induced thrombosis. When measured, the D-dimer was a tip off that Spike-protein had triggered the coagulation cascade. Note the clots are in temporal relationship to the vaccine administration, not COVID-19 illness.
Wag The Dog by EL GATO MALO
as each past folly reaches the point of widespread disbelief, they need a new one, a more compelling one to take its place.
one of the reasons corrupt governments love war so much is that it’s an all access excuse to do the unthinkable. you can direct it abroad or focus it at home. you can fund and staff foreign battles or you can wage campaigns upon your own people and the potential to grab more power, misbehave more egregiously, and act with even less fiscal restraint presents itself all over from graft to grift to just plain degenerate profligacy.
it’s a tried and true jingo jamboree to shut off critical thinking and criticism, a practice so obvious and blatant that satire about hiring film makers to make up wars to cover up scandal and influence the outcome of an election used to be amusing pastiche.
but that game always implodes and it’s imploding now. they push the antagonism past a breaking point and the illusion of plausibility shatters. they mean to fracture the fragile people and fling them against us as shock troops so we are too busy fighting them to realize that the battle should not be red ants vs black ants but everyone against the guy who keeps shaking the jar.
US Blocks Peace Deal by JEFF CHILDERS
To pass the proposed cease-fire resolution, which would also have required the immediate return of all Israeli hostages, at least nine countries would have had to vote in favor. Any of the five ‘permanent members’ could veto.
Five member countries voted “for” the cease-fire (China, Gabon, Mozambique, Russia, and the UAE), four countries voted “against” (France, Japan, Britain, and the United States), and six others abstained. It didn’t pass.
In other words, the United States just stopped another potential peace deal from happening. If you didn’t know better, you might think the secretive U.S. State Department is intentionally trying to make the world more chaotic and wartorn.
Day Zero Adverse Events by DARRELL O. RICKE, M.S., PH.D.
COVID-19 vaccines have non-random enrichment patterns of association for many autoimmune diseases. Surprisingly, many of these autoimmune disease adverse events are occurring within 24 hours of vaccination (day 0). In general, these pattern appears to be non-specific (e.g., not likely just cross-reacting epitope antigens, etc.).
My initial hypothesis is that many of these patterns may result from the very high reactogenicity level of these COVID-19 mRNA and adenoviral vaccines creating very strong immune responses pushing some at risk individuals over disease onset thresholds for these autoimmune diseases. If correct, then all mRNA and adenoviral vaccines and therapeutics may also exhibit similar patterns of enrichments for autoimmune disease adverse events.
Turning Vessels Into Stone by WALTER M CHESNUT @WALTER M CHESNUT
The Spike Protein mimics the effects of potentially DECADES of the atherogenic process virtually instantaneously.
In yet another discovery we observe how the Spike Protein rapidly ages us. This time via the vasculature.
As if this were not bad enough, new research shows that this very pattern and type of damage can be osteogenic. It can turn the tissue to stone.
The more I study this virus and its Spike Protein, the more I am convinced that ACE2, as a receptor, is perhaps the most diabolical receptor a virus can use to cause both rapid and gradual decline in the human body.
Massachusetts Fatal Vaxes Falls by ASHMEDAI @ASHMEDAI
(1) No excess fracture deaths in the initial 2020 wave of covid deaths
(2) From ~Sep 2020 -- end of 2020, the incidence of fracture deaths is a pretty even, stable slightly rising trend, that starts well before winter wave starts & doesn't show any impact from first half of this winter 2020 wave
(3) At beginning of January 2021, there's a burst of excess that exceeds all prior incidence rates... Critically, the incidence of fracture deaths is still going up even as the covid wave is going down (middle blue vertical line), and then initially shows only a slight decrease compared to the far more pronounced drop off in covid deaths.
(4) You can also see a mandate/booster bump (green circle) in Q3 2021 that is not related to covid at all, but which is an almost perfect correlation to a certain mass administration event.
(5) Finally, the roller coaster of excess starting around the middle of 2022 has no relation to covid deaths.
Protecting Free Speech by RAV ARORA
One’s commitment to the foundational, noble ideals of Western, liberal society is most revealingly tested in times of emergency and mortal danger. Core principles such as individualism, bodily autonomy, tolerance, pluralism, and informed consent are easy to support in abstract theory — until such issues carry real societal ramifications and reputational costs.
The past few years have provided no shortage of international uprisings surrounding race relations, viruses, vaccines, elections, and Middle Eastern affairs where peoples’ principle commitments immediately implode in the face of emotionally inflaming injustices (accurately understood or not).
Statements such as “Resistance is justified when people are oppressed!” and “Hamas is a logical conclusion for people struggling and uprising” at this protest capture the dominant ethos of the worldwide demonstrations.
None of this speech is a call to violence. It should be protected and defended with all our ethical convictions — because free speech commitments matter most when our opponents and enemies are attacked.
VA Study On Flu & Covid Vaxes by STEVE KIRSCH
This paper unintentionally shows two important things for the elderly, which is the population most at risk of dying from these infections:
the flu shot doesn’t materially reduce your risk of being hospitalized for the flu and
the COVID shot doesn’t materially reduce your risk of being hospitalized for COVID.
These results are likely applicable to everyone else as well, but the paper couldn’t explore that since it used a VA dataset which was primarily elderly men.
The paper was published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature in a “gold standard journal” using “gold standard” fully reported data from the VA.
mRNA Cardiac Side Effects by PETER MCCULLOUGH, MD
There have been many drugs that have never made it on the market because they cause heart rhythm disturbances. Because the COVID-19 vaccines were rushed in development, preclinical cardiac toxicity studies were skipped. Now three years into the disastrous COVID-19 vaccine campaign, we are learning that probably every person sustains some degree of heart dysfunction or damage within 48 hours of the shot.
Schreckenberg et al studied the direct effect of administering Pfizer and Moderna mRNA to isolated adult rat cardiomyocytes. The results were not good.
This means that mRNA coding for foreign protein is taken up by heart cells and it makes them sick with abnormalities of contraction and electrical conduction. This is very bad news for all mRNA products. If heart muscle cells cannot be excluded from biodistribution of mRNA, this means every new mRNA vaccine could cause heart problems including cardiac arrest.
Vaxed Dying Suddenly More Than Unvaxxed by STEVE KIRSCH
25% of Americans are not vaccinated.
If the COVID vaccine isn’t related to the deaths, then roughly 25% of the people who die suddenly should be unvaccinated.
This isn’t the case. It’s less than 0.1%.
This is statistically impossible to occur unless there is a cause (as I explain below).
One explanation: the vaccine is causing the deaths.
Is there another explanation? Nobody has ever offered an alternative.
VAERS Seizure Reports by JESSICA ROSE
NO BABY NEEDS THESE INJECTIONS. It is, in my opinion, absolutely malfeasant to inject a baby or a child with these products which do nothing to aid in prevention of illness and in fact, have been proven to induce a wide-range of adverse events that include serious ones, including seizures and death.
In infants and other young children (up to and including 17 years of age) as of October 6, 2023, there were 67,866 reports of adverse events in total. Of these, there were 1,298 reports of seizures (1.9% of total). Of these, there were 1,064 reports filed within 7 days (82%), 1,004 filed within 3 days (77%), and 766 filed on the same day (59%).
It gets worse.
For infants only, which includes babies ages 0-4, as of October 6, 2023, there were 5,641 reports of adverse events in total. Of these, there were 52 reports of seizures (0.9% of total). Of these, there were 35 reports filed within 7 days (67%), 35 filed within 3 days (67%), and 13 filed on the same day (25%).
Un-Removed DNA by ANANDAMIDE
the codon optimization and the use of modified bases that increase the secondary structure and melting temperature of RNA are likely making this DNA hard to digest. Monitoring only one region of the plasmid with qPCR , like the unprotected vector, might lead you to believe you’ve removed more DNA than you think.
when they use T7 RNA polymerase to copy RNA off of a DNA template, the resulting product is a DNA:RNA hybrid. A triple helix that DNaseI doesn’t recognize.
