the revisionist history around vaccines is getting pretty extreme. let’s be VERY clear:
yes, they were promised to stop spread, contagion, and provide herd immunity.
yes, those promises were made by the same “experts” currently claiming “vaccines were never supposed to stop spread, just reduce severity.”
yes, they were so committed to this that they literally changed the definition of “herd immunity” to EXCLUDE natural immunity.
(of course, they then changed the definition of “vaccine” as well to make this look like less of a failure)
and yes, all the unprecedented lock down and mask up policies were pushed explicitly as “only necessary until we get the vaccines.”
despite the massive PR offensive underway to deny this, these are the facts.
this is what they sold us.
and we have the receipts.
Life Under Segregation
It began with fear... then coercion and now we live with "soft" apartheid. Everything looks the same but nothing is really what it used to be.
Over the weekend, I attended another freedom rally in my city. The crowd was a large one and there were many young families present. While I was queuing for some food later, I had an extended exchange with a father in his 70s and his adult daughter about the state of things related to Covid. It was a long wait and there was time to go down a few rabbit holes.I was impressed yet again by how well-informed this new fledgling community is. Again I questioned the effectiveness of these gestures of resistance afterwards but I, in part, like to think I'm doing something to draw the line somewhere. Do I have the courage of my convictions to make the effort? At the very least, I can't be party to the official narrative nor should I resign myself with an attitude of despair and passivity.
The next day at church, someone mentioned that they had gone to the same rally and then later on made their way to restaurants nearby for a bite, two of which refused them entry because they didn't have the "right" documentation.
Now that living under segregation has finally sunk in, I've only just begun to see with my own eyes how insidious it is. It isn't just the messaging and the deception. What's really hit home is how the powers-that-be deploy your community (or the people you thought were your community) to apply peer pressure to achieve conformity. First it's the conversations to make you feel your place as "the outsider". Then comes the gaslighting ("conspiracy theories", "misinformation", "we should just follow the experts"). Finally the threat of being ripped apart from one's nearest, dearest and immediate community can be enough to pressure someone into acting against their conscience. The entire process has undoubtedly subtle and incremental. It's come right out of the totalitarian playbook and it's evil.
Whenever I think of how they've managed to split the Christian community over this, I am ashamed. We haven't learnt anything from history.
I observed something similar while watching Terrence Malik's A Hidden Life (a 3 hour long biopic of Franz Jagerstatter, an Austrian Catholic farmer who became a conscientious objector during WW2). His entire village turned against him first before he ended up in Tegel Prison experiencing routine beatings by his Nazi captors. There's a startling scene in which the audience is positioned in Jagerstatter's point of view as he's receiving blows from the prison guards and witnessing first-hand the inhuman brutality being meted out. One recoils in horror as if one is the target of the attacks.
Until recently I've generally believed in the efficacy of vaccines. I'm more highly vaccinated than most I imagine because I've made trips to remote areas in third world countries. These days, I'm much more sceptical about vaccines in general just because it's been shoved down our proverbial throats with impunity. As a result I've gone to places and read things I didn't used to. Robert F. Kennedy Jr's book, The Real Anthony Fauci started that ball rolling and since then I've seen information in various places casting doubt on the glorious history of vaccines as a medical miracle.
Incompetence is no longer a sufficient explanation for what's going. It hasn't for a long time. When the levers of power are actively suppressing useful information and narrowly promoting a single therapeutic without concern for real human lives, this can't be chalked up to stupidity or mere mishandling. There has to be something far more sinister at work.
CDC’s studies show that in COVID-19, the vaccinated can transmit just as easily (if not more easily) that the unvaccinated. ...
Expect a Public Backlash to Condescending Vaccine Propaganda and Faux Science
Pharma’s campaign to snuff out states rights in the form of religious and philosophical exemptions - the law in 18 states in 2015 - led to a backlash by informed consent and health freedom groups who educated themselves, developed new media outlets and publicized whistleblowers like Dr. William Thompson of the CDC and two whistleblowers at Merck who, like Dr. Thompson, claimed data fudging for key studies. ...
The Phases of Vaccine Failure
In this section, I review the events that occur when pathogens are targeted by vaccines. These are generalized, are not distinct (overlap in time) and the higher-numbered phases are not dependent on the lower-numbered ones.
Phase 0. Perfect Antigen Match - “Release Transmission Efficacy”
When a vaccine is identical to the pathogenic with respect to the amino acid sequence and structure of the vaccine and pathogen antigen(s), efficacy should be maximized. It may not be perfect; that depends on myriad factors listed above. ...
Phase 1. Early Mismatch - Original Antigenic Sin
As mutations accumulate in the laboratory-sourced antigen source, they also occur in the wild-type viral or bacterial lineages. Initially, the slight mismatch between the vaccine type and the wild type will tend to cause a slight decay in vaccine effectiveness, unless the vaccine is updated to match the circulating wild-type pathogen. This would likely fall into the category of Original Antigenic Sin, which was first noticed in influenza strain infections: patients who had flu from the influenza virus in one year often had a second bout of more severe influenza in the second year. This is relatively weakening of the immune response, enough to cause more viremia or bacteremia.
The same problem will, of course, occur over time as vaccine antigens in the lab and in the wild evolve away from each other.
Phase 2. Mid Mismatch - Antigenic Drift/Antigenic Shift
A more dramatic loss of an effective immune response occurs when an antigenic epitope is lost wholescale, which can occur in viruses that recombine (swap parts), as can occur with influenza virus and with beta coronaviruses like SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2. ...
Phase 3. Late Mismatch - Vaccine Failure
Given evolutionary transitions away from the vaccine type, pathogens will eventually escape the vaccine to the point where additional vaccination in the population and repeated vaccination (boosting) in individuals will become ineffective public health measures. Routine outbreaks will occur in fully vaccination populations - sometimes even those with 100% vaccination coverage.
When this occurs, pushing for further vaccination via restrictions of rights such as free, prior and fully informed consent, religious and philosophical exemptions will only serve to antagonize an increasingly distrusting public who can see vaccine failure - and vaccine adverse events - with their own eyes. The public messaging that increased vaccine uptake is the best way to shut down an outbreak, epidemic or pandemic will (correctly) be seen as propaganda, and the vaccination event itself will be seen as taking on individual risk with no personal or collective benefit. ...
Phase 4. Disease Enhancement (Inevitable?)
The inability of vaccine immune defenses to stop or slow an infection is one thing. If mechanisms exist by which the act of vaccination increases the rate of infection in a person, the vaccine will be seen as a risk factor for more serious disease. This outcome is, of course, utterly disastrous, and the scale of damage will be a function of the extent of vaccination.
In SARS-CoV-1, MERS (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome) virus and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) vaccination development attempts, disease enhancement was seen (See SARS-COV-2 VACCINE RECOMMENDED READINGS on jameslyonsweiler.com).
I think it is an open question whether fixed vaccines in a world with pathogen evolution will always necessarily lead to disease enhancement of some type.
There is now, unfortunately, mounting evidence that vaccination of individuals using the Wuhan sequence has fostered vaccine escape, and, per my recent article on the work of Jacques Fantini and his team, fostered disease enhancement since the emergence of the Beta variant very early on in the pandemic.
The simplest way to put this: the problem with vaccines is the vaccines. ...
Some think (or hope) that Omicron may be a planted live attenuated virus, made more transmissible and far less lethal to help end the pandemic, e.g., my colleague and friend Dr. Jessica Rose. ...
Now one has to wonder if the vaxxed are going to get these new variants over and over while the pure of blood do not get them.
That would definitely cause a shift in politics long-term.
The risk of death and disease in children has become even more rare with Omicron. Yet even prior to the advent of Omicron, a peer reviewed study clearly demonstrated (using safety data accumulated during past variant circulation) that the genetic COVID-19 vaccines carry a risk/benefit ratio of five deaths in the older, high risk cohort for every one life saved from COVID-19 (and those data did not account for the reporting bias inherent in US deaths due to COVID consequent to inappropriate use of PCR tests).
ICUs are not “full” of unvaccinated covid patients, they’re not even full of covid cases. In fact, they’re not even full at all.
As of last week, NHS England’s own bed statistics reported that England has 4330 available critical care beds, of which 894 (21%) are being used by Covid patients, 2608 (60%) non-Covid patients and 828 (19%) were empty.
So, England’s critical care beds are not even 90% full, let alone 90% full of unvaccinated covid patients.
But let’s be charitable and assume these people misspoke or communicated their point badly. Let’s assume they meant 90% of covid hospitalisations are unvaccinated.
That, at least, is true right? Wrong.
The actual number is 35.4%
According to the UK’s Health Security Agency data (page 31 of this document) 6639 patients were admitted to hospital “with Covid” in the weeks 44-47 of this year. Of those 6639, 2355 were unvaccinated.
Boosters May Cause 'Immune System Fatigue,' Compromise Ability to Fight Virus
The New York Times reported that experts advised caution before Israel approved a fourth COVID-19 vaccine injection, warning that too many shots might actually harm the body’s ability to fight the virus by causing “immune system fatigue.”
As Israel rolls out a fourth COVID-19 vaccine injection to curb the spread of the Omicron variant, experts are now warning that too many injections may cause “immune system fatigue,” and actually compromise the body’s ability to fight the virus, the New York Times reported.
From the report:
“JERUSALEM — Israel is considering whether to approve a fourth Covid-19 vaccine dose for vulnerable people to contain the fast-spreading Omicron variant, despite debate among scientists and a lack of evidence either for or against another booster.
The panel of experts advising the Israeli government on the pandemic recognized that uncertainty, but on Tuesday it recommended giving a fourth dose, concluding that the potential benefits outweighed the risks. It pointed to signs of waning immunity a few months after the third shot, and said that any delay in additional doses might prove too late to protect those most at risk.

But some scientists warned that the plan could backfire, because too many shots might cause a sort of immune system fatigue, compromising the body’s ability to fight the coronavirus. A few members of the government’s advisory panel raised that concern with respect to the elderly, according to a written summary of the discussion obtained by The New York Times.”
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has signaled his support for the fourth injection.
You know what is going to happen. "Yes, in hindsight, mistakes were made, but we were trying to do the best we could!" even though there is plenty of evidence to demonstrate unethical motivations. It's a big rug. Sweep, sweep.
"The shortcoming of the repeat dose toxicity study design should not preclude approval of the vaccine."
Really?
Highlights
Vaccination has been regarded as the most important strategy to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.
Concern has emerged due to sporadic reports of vaccine related immune-mediated adverse effects, including myocarditis in young men.
We report a case series of 2patients who developed aseptic meningitis after BNT-162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) COVID-19 vaccination.
Aseptic meningitis might be another manifestation that clinicians need to be alerted to.
These vaccines may help you win the war against a variant that may soon be rare, but the price you pay is that you make your immunity to everything else worse. It’s a dumb tradeoff (especially since early treatments work so well). But the people making the laws won’t believe any of the science referenced in this article, so it will continue.
Weird chart. Looking at it one would almost think that new Covid cases are perfectly correlated with (mRNA) Covid vaccination levels at both the state and national level:
Yeah, must be a trick of the light. (The great outlier is China, which has completely avoided mRNA and DNA vaccines in its mass vaccination campaign and has no ro. Another coincidence, no doubt!)
The answer is obviously boosters!
Now let’s all thank the Times for (accidentally) providing some helpful information.
why don't public health agencies and regulators track vaccine efficacy by vaccine type? ...
how is literally no one even asking for, much less demanding this?
can anyone even provide a non-sinister/non-crony-corporatist theory?
Studies Needed on the Oncogenic Potential of COVID-19 Vaccinations
Fact Checkers deny it but present no new data. We're doing Science - and taking deep dive into the question of plausibility using molecular evidence using Systems Biology
Throughout the past 22 thoroughly theatrical months, most Americans have ascribed magical “Pandemic(!)” ending powers to some plainly arbitrary measures. They naively believed the relentless government and media messages that if only we would:
—lock down for two weeks (to “flatten the curve!”)
—wear masks (“because my mask protects you!” or something like that)
—disinfect everything (even though the virus doesn’t spread via surfaces)
—walk in one direction in supermarket aisles (because your mask doesn’t really work)
—stay six feet apart (see above, plus four feet is not enough)
—close small businesses (while leaving large ones open)
—test and trace (because what works for STDs also works for respiratory viruses…not)
—stay in our home states (even though states’ infection rates were nearly equal)
—elect Biden (because, like Nixon, he had a secret plan to end “The Pandemic(!)”)
-—vaxx! (because it’s “safe and effective and will stop the spread!”)
—avoid family at Christmas (because people should be even more miserable)
—return to restaurants, theaters and stadiums (but only to 25% of capacity)
—continue to uncritically obey the authorities (although nothing they’ve said, worked)
—vaxx again!! (and blame the unvaxxed for continuing infections)
—continue to wear a mask…or two masks! (unless you’re consuming food or beverages)
—keep schools closed (even though kids were never at risk)
—test even more (though the tests are 90% inaccurate, we need to keep scaring people)
—vaxx yet again!!! (only about 100,000 people have died, been hospitalized of injured after injecting; and keep scapegoating and hectoring the unvaxxed, and require them to vaxx, even though the vaxxed are getting infected, spreading infection and dying)
….we could “CRUSH THE VIRUS!” (Yay, Us!)
Actually, the lockdowns, masks and first round of vaxxes were, by themselves, supposed to get this done. The other measures rest were, well, just more “Science!” Conveyed by “Experts!”
People, how gullible can you have been/still be? None of this worked. None of it could ever have worked. Learn some Microbiology. You’re surrounded, and even inhabited, by microbes. You always have been. You always will be. The world cannot be made sterile. You wouldn’t survive in a world without a wide array of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. You have to co-exist with microbes.
To paraphrase the Good Witch’s message to Dorothy at the end of The Wizard of Oz, the power to end the Scamdemic was always within your power.
If only you had (and now I’m being serious):
—turned off your TVs and radios, Twitter and Facebook and instead believed your own eyes and your own data set comprising only people you knew
—considered that only very old, very sick or very overweight people were at any risk
—known that asymptomatic spread was very rare
—weighed the impact of lockdowns and school closures on people besides your lazy, commute-avoiding, laptop-using, fully-paid or subsidized self
—focused on making your body healthier, instead of eating and drinking whatever you wanted and sitting all day
—educated yourselves about inexpensive, preventive supplements and cheap, safe, effective anti-Covid therapeutics with the same level of focus that you apply to learning about sports teams, celebrities, politics, investments, fashion and gossip
—disobeyed governmental restrictions on your assembly and movement.
—refused to be injected with experimental, ineffective, harmful substances
—realized that sometimes some old and unhealthy people pass from this Earth
…this whole thing would have been over in a month. Or less.
A new calendar doesn’t matter. Only your decision to either comply with, or to resist, all of the continuing foolishness, propaganda and political theater does.
—considered that only very old, very sick or very overweight people were at any risk
This Graph below is from the Ontario provincial government Covid website - sometimes it really helps to see a visual of data points. Here, daily "cases" reported for December 31, 2021 show that the vast majority of cases are now in the vaxxed.
REQUEST: Ask your vaxxed friends about this: do you still support a vaxx passport and mandates if anyone can get Covid?
