Nearly 80% Of Surveyed Americans Won’t Change Their Mind & Get Vaccine (RT)

A new poll has found that Americans refusing a Covid-19 vaccination are highly unlikely to change their minds as inoculation rates have also significantly dropped. More than three in four adults (78%) who have thus far refused to get a Covid-19 vaccination say they are unlikely to change their minds in the future, according to a new Gallup poll. Of that group, 51% say they are “highly unlikely” to change their minds. Approximately 20% of people who are hesitant to receive a vaccine say they are open to changing their stance, with only 2% saying they are “highly likely” to eventually be convinced to get inoculated. The poll – conducted among over 3,500 adults with a margin of error of 3% – could spell bad news for President Joe Biden’s ambitious goal of vaccinating 70% of US adults by July 4.

Recent reports have shown that vaccine rates are plummeting in recent weeks, threatening the president’s plan. While approximately 3.4 million shots were being given out a day in mid-April, that number has now fallen to below one million a day, according to a report from the Washington Post. To hit the president’s goal, it says, approximately 4.2 million adults would need to be getting vaccinated a week, but only 2.4 million were given a jab last week. The drop has been chalked up by health officials to a lack of supply, rather than demand as vaccination sites have popped up around the country, but are seeing less and less people come through.

Some states have tried incentivizing vaccine hesitant residents by offering lottery winnings worth millions of dollars. The rates of vaccination vary significantly from state to state, with a handful set to hit Biden’s goal, including New York, a state in which over 60% of adults have received at least one dose of a vaccine. Some right-leaning states, however, have lower vaccination rates and are unlikely to hit the 70% threshold in the next month, the Washington Post report goes on. Twelve states, including Oklahoma, Montana, and West Virginia, have seen their daily vaccinations fall to just 15 jabs per 10,000 residents. One Utah woman told the outlet that “in certain circles, it’s almost shameful to get the vaccine.”

Unvaccinated Houston Methodist Nurses Plan Walkout (HC)

Dozens of cheering supporters gathered outside the Houston Methodist Baytown campus Monday evening as several medical workers who refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine ended their last shifts working for the hospital system. The act of protest was aimed at what workers said was the hospital’s decision to suspend employees for two weeks without pay and then fire them for failing to immunize themselves. Jennifer Bridges, a nurse who effectively lost her job at the Baytown facility for deciding not to be inoculated, said the goal was to stage a walkout but that did not go as planned. Participating employees who refused the vaccine’s first dose were told not to gather or linger on the hospital grounds after ending their shift, she said. “The hospital wouldn’t let us do it,” Bridges said.

She got out of work early, emptied her locker and gathered with others on a grassy medium near the ambulance entrance to the hospital. Bridges fished a paper out of a backpack — a suspension report — that she had been asked to sign. She refused, she continued. About 117 employees in May filed a class action lawsuit against the health system for requiring its workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Bridges said the plaintiffs in the suit are a mix of those who want more trial data to emerge on the long-term effects of the vaccine before taking it, and those who simply don’t want any shots. “We’re not against the vaccine, we just want to be more comfortable with this one and have thorough research out before we take it,” Bridges in April said.

“When patients get care, they have the right to refuse treatment, but we’re not allowed that same exemption.” The suit alleged that the three major coronavirus vaccines are only authorized for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, meaning employers cannot require them as a condition of employment. At least 50 more employees have expressed interest in joining the plaintiffs since the lawsuit went public, she said.

“SARS-CoV-2 is going to become an endemic virus. It will always be with us. The sooner most of us are exposed to it, ideally in childhood, the sooner it will cease to be a major problem.”

Why Subject Our Children To The Risk Of Death From Vaccination? (CW)

All non-corrupted scientific commentators have known from the very start that this pandemic only ends one way: SARS-CoV-2 is going to become an endemic virus. It will always be with us. The sooner most of us are exposed to it, ideally in childhood, the sooner it will cease to be a major problem. High-risk individuals can choose to take a vaccine. Ivermectin and vitamin D can be used to prevent infection and treat confirmed cases. As we have seen, the argument that children must take vaccines so that we can achieve herd immunity is utterly false. Only those completely ignorant of virology and immunology would even attempt to make it. That brings us back to the original argument for vaccinating children against Covid: to protect them from the severe disease.

If this is the only reason to vaccinate children, there is only one calculation that parents should make: Is the risk from Covid greater than the risk from the vaccine? The present Covid vaccines being administered in the West are based on experimental technologies that are being used under emergency use authorisations (EUAs). Full safety studies will not be completed until 2023. The Covid vaccines were all created in the last year and we have no medium-term or long-term data on them. We don’t know if they will have an effect on children’s reproductive organs and fertility. We don’t know if they will produce auto-immune diseases. And we don’t know if they will lead to ADE (antibody-dependent enhancement) upon re-exposure to the virus (causing more severe illness).

We do know that the vaccines produce a range of cardiovascular and neurological events including strokes, myocarditis, pericarditis and paralysis in a significant number of people. In the small US state of Connecticut at least 18 children and young adults have come down with myocarditis, an extremely serious and sometimes fatal condition involving inflammation of the heart muscle (and they’ve only just started vaccinating children there). The Israel Ministry of Health has reported that the incidence of myocarditis for vaccine recipients is between 1 in 3,000 and 1 in 6,000 in young men. In Canada (population 38 million) only 11 children have died from Covid since the start of the pandemic. In the UK (pop 68 million) 32 children have died. It is nearly certain that all of them had one or more severe comorbidities. The fact is, most children brush off Covid without even knowing they’ve had it. For all intents and purposes, Covid poses zero risk to healthy children.

“..a lot of ethical dilemmas as to whether you should vaccinate children to protect adults.”

Child Vaccination: Who’s Selfish Now? (Curzon)

A number of school leaders have swung into action following the approval of the vaccination of children against Covid (a disease which almost all children aren’t at risk from) using the Pfizer vaccine (trials of which only included 1,134 children). It wasn’t very long ago that the establishment line was: if you don’t get a Covid vaccine, you are selfish. Even the Queen (disappointingly) joined in with this line [..]. But now, adult advisers to the Government suggest that children should be vaccinated not to protect children but to protect…themselves. Professor Anthony Harnden, the Deputy Chairman of the Government’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, says:


‘I think the vast majority of benefit won’t be to children, it will be an indirect benefit to adults in terms of preventing transmission and protecting adults who haven’t been immunised, for whatever reason haven’t responded to the vaccine and therefore that presents quite a lot of ethical dilemmas as to whether you should vaccinate children to protect adults.’ He notes that children themselves are ‘in the main’ not at risk from Covid. Over half of the adult population has been fully vaccinated (with seventy-five per cent having received at least one dose of a vaccine) and Covid deaths, while still exaggerated, have flattened. There is no reason to vaccinate most children and, given the potential side effects, many not to do so. If the Government bottles it on the vaccination of children, it is they who are being selfish.

Good question (we asked this before): where are the life insurance companies?

If they don’t change their policies, that’s a big sign.

Time To Make Them PAY (Denninger)

[..] of those from 5-17 the number of persons who were admitted to the hospital and died, from March 1 2020 through March 31st, 2021 was……. wait for it…… NINE. Yes, a literal NINE nationwide. Another nine under 5 died. That’s right — 18 children in total from 0-17 year olds died of Covid-19 all the way back to March of 2020. If that’s not enough further review in a recent study the CDC did itself found that about a third of those were misclassified and had no plausible connection to Covid-19 actually killing the person in question. That’s a statistical zero risk of death if you are in that age bracket (17 and under) and get Covid. There are roughly 75 million persons under the age of 18 in the United States; this means their risk of death from Covid-19 since March of 2020 is roughly 1 in 4 million.

To put context on this you’re roughly one thousand times (there is a lot of variation with age and sex) more likely to die of something else in that age bracket provided you make it out your first year. Why your first year? Because roughly 5,500 per million infants die in their first year from all causes combined which is a stunning 20,000 times the rate that Covid-19 kills them. In addition for those under 50 the percentage of hospital admissions ending in death was 2.4%. There is no material risk of dying of Covid if you are under 50 and this is with zero early drug intervention which we know works so can we cut the crap folks? This isn’t my data it’s the government’s official data. The AARP confirms this; 95% of those who died were 50+ but 64.6% of the Covid-19 alleged cases have been in people under 50.

Yet now the CDC is attempting to scare kids and adolescents into taking jabs through flat-out lies. Why hasn’t the CDC been banned from Twitter and Facebook for “medical misinformation”? They are the publishers of this data and yet they are knowingly lying about their own data! Now are there an awful lot of seniors who are fat and/or diabetic? You bet. But there are also many who are not and Covid doesn’t kill them often, if at all. There is no reason for anyone to put up with any more of this bull****. After almost a year and a half of being gaslighted, lied to up and down the line by every so-called “expert” under the sun, having treatments suppressed to the point that discussing them gets you thrown off social media sites and doctors sanctioned or threatened with loss of their licenses and professional associations please explain to me why the people of this nation haven’t gotten tired of their loved ones being deliberately sacrificed — that would be called murder, by the way — and shoved all of this bull**** up the government’s ass?

Nor is there any reason for anyone to get a jab for anyone else’s benefit; these are not fully-tested and documented products, no matter what someone tries to tell you and again, the FDA’s own documents in the form of the actual EUAs say so. Any claim otherwise is ALSO a lie; these shots are lightly tested and there is plenty of evidence that more than one of the original safety claims made for them are now known false. [..] where are the life insurance companies? If there’s one group of people who have their crap dialed in when it comes to who’s going to die and how often it’s those folks. Oh not you specifically of course, but statistically, you bet. These companies do not lose money and they don’t make stupid bets either. Every one of their bets collects a small amount of money and when they’re wrong very large amounts go out their door. If they are not changing rates and forcing jabs to get coverage or surcharging you if you don’t get the jab then this much is absolutely certain: Covid-19 is non-event from a life insurance perspective — in other words, whether they think you’ll die of it.

Embattled Thailand Kicks Off Mass Vaccination Drive Against Covid-19 (RT)

Bangkok has started its mass vaccination campaign against Covid-19, with the government aiming to inoculate six million people in June alone, as a third wave surges and now accounts for 80% of all cases since the pandemic began. “The government will ensure that everyone is vaccinated,” Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said on Monday after a visit to a Bangkok inoculation center as the national vaccination program kicked off. Amid a third wave of the virus, which has seen case levels far exceed those of the first and second waves, the state is aiming to administer six million doses of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine, which is being made locally, and China’s Sinovac shot in June. The government hopes to vaccinate 70% of the country’s 66 million people before the end of the year.


To date, only 2.8 million people have received one shot in an initial rollout targeting the most vulnerable, including frontline health and transport workers. The government has been heavily criticized by opposition parties for over-reliance on the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is being made by royal-owned Siam Bioscience. Concerns emerged that the company’s production capacity may have been overestimated after the Philippines said its order had been reduced and delayed. Bangkok has been forced to search elsewhere for more supply, sourcing 200,000 AstraZeneca vaccines from South Korea, and hopes to complete a 20-million-shot deal with Pfizer in the coming weeks. To date, Thailand has registered 179,886 infections and 1,269 fatalities from the virus, 80% of which has been recorded during the third wave. 2,419 new infections and 33 deaths were recorded on Monday.

“..plenty of pretty young things on hand, only some of whom know a reverse repo from an Appenzeller Sennenhund..”

Reset Yourself ! (Kunstler)

If Quentin Tarantino made a James Bond movie, the villain would be a maniac named Klaus Schwab, played with a light touch by Christoph Waltz, leading a SMERSH-like org bent on turning the world into a utopia of robots, and, of course, absolutely everything would go wrong, leading to a joyously comical bloodbath in the climax. Are we living in that movie, one wonders? In real life — is there even such a thing anymore? — Klaus Schwab is the octogenarian head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), the NGO that hosts the annual cavalcade of global villains at Davos, Switzerland, held every January in perfect designer snow, with the raclette melting temptingly on the hearth, endless flutes of Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut making the rounds, and plenty of pretty young things on hand, only some of whom know a reverse repo from an Appenzeller Sennenhund. Must be fun as all git-out.

The Davos meeting is ostensibly called to improve the state of the world (ha!), and thereby inspires countless paranoid fever dreams in the minds of many who would prefer to be spared utopian social experiments, especially from plans drawn by billionaire bankers who view the present surfeit of mankind on this planet (some 7.6 billion) as cluttering up the joint — all these unnecessary hoi polloi filling the oceans with their yukky plastic, making navigation difficult for the Davos yachting crowd… or something like that. Klaus Schwab has been shockingly literal about his wished-for utopia, summing up his vision as, “You will own nothing, and you will be happy about it.” Hmmm, no property… and then what? Logically, no corpus of contract law to regulate it? Farewell pesky US constitution. (Let’s face it, it’s been falling apart lately, anyhow.) How’s that going to make folks happy? Can I at least keep my Waterpik and my flyrod?

And what about your property Klaus? And the property of your nonagenarian buddy George Soros, including all the cash money he’s been sprinkling around the USA to fund the election of utterly incompetent Attorneys General and District Attorneys, so as to sow chaos in America’s streets? What about your pal Bill Gates’s property… those hundreds of thousands of acres he’s buying up across the American grain belt? And the half that goes to Melinda under California divorce law. Will the poor girl have to make those dreary trips to the Safeway on her own? Will there even be supermarkets? Or just distribution depots like the old soviet glory days, with long lines for schmoozing?

“I want the dollar to be the currency of the world. That’s what I’ve always said.”

Trump Calls Bitcoin Scam, Denounces It For Competing Against The Dollar (RT)

Former President Donald Trump called bitcoin a probable “scam” on Fox Business, Monday, complaining that it’s competing against the US dollar, which he wants to be the “currency of the world.” During an interview on Fox Business, host Stuart Varney asked Trump for his thoughts on the popular cryptocurrency and whether he would invest in it. “Bitcoin, it just seems like a scam,” Trump declared, adding, “I don’t like it because it’s another currency competing against the dollar.” “I want the dollar to be the currency of the world. That’s what I’ve always said.” Trump has repeatedly shot down cryptocurrencies in recent years, accusing them of facilitating “unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity.”


“I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air,” he said on Twitter in July 2019. “We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!” Trump’s presidential administration also attempted to crack down on cryptocurrency through regulations last year as one its final acts ahead of President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Dumping The Dollar: Russia Ready To Shift Currency Liquidity To The Euro (RT)

Russian authorities are planning to shift the nation’s currency liquidity from the US dollar to the euro, the country’s Finance Ministry announced on Monday. “Our number one goal is to turn Russia into a euro-oriented country, thus to replace the dollar with the euro,” said Dmitry Timofeev, head of the department of external restrictive measures control at the Russian Finance Ministry. The official noted that Russia has every reason for the move, adding that the government is preparing a wide range of incentives for businesses to transition to the European single currency. “Since we are a market economy, we cannot just order: stop using dollars,” Timofeev said, though he added that some state-owned corporations might be forced to shift.


“We need to develop the necessary tools in a single package to move the entire economy further away from the dollar, which, in fact, will allow us to avoid sanctions and make the world more democratic,” he added. The announcement comes days after Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that the National Wealth Fund would reduce its share of dollars to zero within the next month. Meanwhile, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak warned that Russia may soon be tempted to move away from dollar-denominated crude contracts if the US administration continues to pile up targeted economic sanctions.

“Biden is well-prepared to answer for this when he soon visits Europe since, of course, he was deeply involved in this scandal the first time around.”

The Coming Biden/Putin Train-Wreck Summit (Ron Paul)

I have my doubts whether the Putin-Biden summit in Geneva will take place later this month, but even if somehow it is pulled off, recent Biden Administration blunders mean the chance anything of substance will be achieved is virtually nil. The Biden Administration was supposed to signal a return of the “adults” to the room. No more bully Trump telling NATO it’s useless, ripping up international climate treaties, and threatening to remove troops from the Middle East and beyond. US foreign policy would again flourish under the steady, practiced hands of the experts. Then Biden blurted out in a television interview that President Putin was a killer with no soul. Then US Secretary of State Antony Blinken discovered the hard way that his Chinese counterparts were in no mood to be lectured on an “international rules-based order” that is routinely flouted by Washington.

It’s going to be a rough ten days for President Biden. Just as news breaks that under the Obama/Biden Administration the US was routinely and illegally spying on its European allies, he is preparing to meet those same allies, first at the G7 summit in England on June 11-13 and then at the June 14th NATO meeting in Brussels. Make no mistake, Joe Biden is up to his eyeballs in this scandal. Ed Snowden Tweeted late last month when news broke that the US teamed up with the Danes to spy on the rest of Europe, that “Biden is well-prepared to answer for this when he soon visits Europe since, of course, he was deeply involved in this scandal the first time around.”

Though Germany’s Merkel and France’s Macron have been loyal US lapdogs, the revelation of how Washington treats its allies has put them in the rare position of having to criticize Washington. “Outrageous” and “unacceptable” are how they responded to the news. Russia has been routinely accused (without evidence) of malign conduct and interference in internal US affairs, but it turns out that the country actually doing the spying and meddling was the US all along – and against its own allies! Surely this irony is not lost on Putin.

“That would immediately raise the question of the US initiating nuclear war against China to prevail in that situation..”

Daniel Ellsberg: The 90-Year-old Whistleblower Tempting Prosecution (BBC)

While the Pentagon Papers left a lasting legacy, they weren’t the only documents Mr Ellsberg got his hands on. At the same time, Mr Ellsberg copied another classified study that showed how seriously American military chiefs took the threat of nuclear war during the Taiwan crisis of 1958. For 50 years, the study went virtually unnoticed until 2017, when Mr Ellsberg published the full document online, which was highlighted by the New York Times newspaper last month. In theory, Mr Ellsberg’s disclosure could put him at risk of prosecution on the same charges he faced for leaking the Pentagon Papers. Now aged 90, Mr Ellsberg says he is not intimidated by the possibility of prison. In an interview with the BBC, he explained why.

[..] For decades, Mr Ellsberg has been a tireless critic of government overreach and military interventions. His opposition crystallised during the 1960s, when he advised the White House on nuclear strategy and assessed the Vietnam War for the Department of Defense. What Mr Ellsberg learned during that period weighed heavily on his conscience. If only the public knew, he thought, political pressure to end the war might prove irresistible. The release of the Pentagon Papers was a product of that rationale, which underpins Mr Ellsberg’s latest disclosure, albeit in a different context. “I want to do my part in avoiding nuclear war,” Mr Ellsberg said from his home in California. In his assessment, a nuclear war over Taiwan is a serious threat. To understand why, consider the unsettled question of Taiwan’s relationship to China.

China has asserted sovereignty over Taiwan since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949. Since then, China has regarded Taiwan as a rebel province that must be reunited with the mainland – by force if necessary. As Taiwan’s most-important ally, the US would be expected to take action if China did attack the island. “War games appear to show that the Chinese would win a conventional war over Taiwan and against the US,” Mr Ellsberg said. “That would immediately raise the question of the US initiating nuclear war against China to prevail in that situation, just as US decision-makers committed themselves to doing if it was necessary in 1958.” In the end, it was not necessary in 1958. But what material released by Mr Ellsberg shows, in sobering detail, is why American military leaders believed it might have been.

    WHO Celebrates As Indian Health Regulator Removes Ivermectin from Its Covid-19 Protocol

    India’s Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has executed a policy reversal that could have massive implications for the battle against covid-19, not only in India but around the world. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives, are at providing stake. Providing no explanation whatsoever, the DGHS has overhauled its COVID-19 treatment guidelines and removed almost all of the repurposed medicines it had previously recommended for treating asymptomatic and mild cases. They include the antibiotic doxycycline, hydroxychloroquine zinc, ivermectin and even multivitamins. The only medicines that are still recommended for early treatment are cold medicines, antipyretics such as paracetamol and inhaled budesonide.

    “No other covid-specific medication [is] required,” say the new guidelines, which also discourage practitioners from prescribing unnecessary tests such as CT scans.

    “Patients are advised to seek tele consultation; and Covid-19 appropriate behaviour must be observed such as mask, strict hand hygiene and physical distancing… [Patients are also advised to maintain] a healthy diet with proper hydration… [and] to stay connected [with family] and engage in positive talks through phone, video-calls, etc.”

    The decision to remove ivermectin, multivitamins and zinc from the treatment guidelines is hard to comprehend given the current state of play in India — unless, of course, you assume After suffering one of the worst covid-19 outbreaks since the pandemic began, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives, India is not just flattening the curve, it is crushing it. And the widespread use of ivermectin, a potent anti-viral and anti-inflammatory with an excellent safety profile, appears to have played an instrumental role.

    On taxing the rich. Or in this case, the 15% corporate tax: “”If any European country ever receives anything close to a check for 15% of the profits made by a big digital tech company selling in their borders, I shall eat my hat.” — Bill Blain

    Don’t worry, all those billionaires are going to buy Senators so they can very responsibly tax themselves, not the middle class. (They can’t tax the bottom 90%, they are already poor and pay zero in “tax”. Only 100% in energy and inflation tax, the only ones that matter.)

    But I’m sure more government will fix it.

    “Countless popular websites including Reddit, Spotify, Twitch, Stack Overflow, GitHub, gov.uk, Hulu, HBO Max, Quora, PayPal, Vimeo, Shopify, and news outlets CNN, the Guardian, the New York Times, BBC, Financial Times are currently facing an outage.”

    Huh. They’re not even done with Cyber Polygon yet. Are they in a hurry? Something happen? A: Yes. Their system has already swapped and they already don’t have control. So the dum-dums are going to shut off the internet. Uh-huh. I’m sure like CV and CCP Bioweapons labs, nobody will be mad at them about it or anything.

    Speaking of: Wot a shok! The Colonial ransom paid in Bitcoin was trakked! And recovered. Who knowd?

A: No. #Illogic is our God. Our goal is to have complete #Illogic, #AntiLogos, in every word and action, every choice, by every person on earth. It’s going pretty well.

    Example? Fed, which “You had ONE job”, that is, stable prices, not only NEVER had stable prices, 2% inflation stealing 50% by retirement, now says “Inflation is Good”. …Janet, even if it WERE good, it’s against the foundational law that founded the Fed. But don’t say they didn’t warn ye.

    …And again, warn you about the upcoming, planned, written, published, widely-advertised, totally intentional shortages and “inflation.” Caused by the upcoming, planned, written, published, widely-advertised, totally intentional “cyber attacks.” By all the usual suspects. But Uber didn’t rush to robotic cars, Wal-Mart didn’t rush to self-checkout, Amazon didn’t buy a fleet of trucks a week ahead of time, Gates, etc didn’t sell out right before, nobody knew nothin’. Just like now.

    Speaking of the Fed, can somebody tell me how we have “Free Markets” when they are:

    A) printing $6T in debt, then
    B) buying $6T of their own debt back out of the market, in the universe’s largest circle-jerk?

    Gosh, Capitalism sure fails. Or it does when you completely centrally-control it by erasing all competition, creating monopolies, running everything by edict, and having the government protect it all in de-facto Soviet control and ownership.

    So you create stuff to buy it back, and this is normal and logical? Or have you spread the cancer of #AntiLogos, of the pure #Opposite of sense and order? That is: #Theft and #Oppression?

Event 201 was October of 2019 and covid began around January. They (whoever they are) are going to be wargaming the internet going down this July. So i’d say its a fair bet it may go down afterwards.

    Ilargi: “Good question (we asked this before): where are the life insurance companies?
    If they don’t change their policies, that’s a big sign.”

    A study from December 2020 analyzed 800,000 life insurance policies from 100 insurance companies. The study found that insurance companies did not have to significantly adjust premiums to account for any increased risks from Covid-19. Instead, they found “minimal observable adjustments.”

    From the National Bureau of Economic Research:

    Did COVID-19 Change Life Insurance Offerings?

    “If the earliest predictions of the increase in mortality rate from COVID-19 would have come to fruition, then theory suggests that life insurance companies would have been forced to significantly adjust life insurance premiums or offerings to account for the increased risk. Our findings—from an analysis starting with nearly 100 companies and 800,000 policies—suggest minimal observable adjustments through October 2020.”

    Or they watch too much Fox News and listen to too much right-wing radio or believe the wild things they read on social media and have become convinced that the vaccine is some kind of nefarious plot to put tracking devices into their brains or make them vote for a Democrat or give up their guns.

    Because of these millions of holdouts, this country may never reach effective herd immunity. It will be an inexact, harsh justice if COVID-19 and its more virulent mutations are stalking the unvaccinated among us for years to come.

    WHO Celebrates As Indian Health Regulator Removes Ivermectin from Its Covid-19 Protocol
    Posted on June 8, 2021 by Nick Corbishley

    “…. removed almost all of the repurposed medicines it had previously recommended for treating asymptomatic and mild cases. They include the antibiotic doxycycline, hydroxychloroquine zinc, ivermectin and even multivitamins. The only medicines that are still recommended for early treatment are cold medicines, antipyretics such as paracetamol and inhaled budesonide. “

    After India finally gets somewhat of a grip on its deadly second wave, one of its health regulators just took away one of its main lines of defense.

    Who was that health regulator? Which one of the 29 autonomous/statutory bodies?
    main.mohfw.gov.in/sites/default/files/List%20of%20Officers%20of%20DGHS.pdf

    “The Organizational Chart of the Directorate General of Health Services is at Annexure-IV. The DGHS also renders technical advice on all medical and public health matters and in the implementation of various health schemes. In order to implement the policies and programmes of the Ministry in an effective manner, there are three subordinate offices located at various places in the country which function directly under the Ministry. The Ministry is also administratively concerned with 29 autonomous/statutory bodies. There are also three Public Sector Undertakings under the administrative control of the Ministry.”


    Crushing the Curve

    The DGHS began recommending the widespread use of ivermectin as early as April, in direct contradiction of the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Treatment packs were assembled in many states and distributed to patients testing positive for Covid. In at least two states — Goa and Uttarakhand — the medicine was distributed as a preventive. As has already happened in over 20 countries where ivermectin has been used — from Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Peru to Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Bangladesh — case numbers, hospitalizations and fatalities have fallen in almost vertical fashion. On Monday the country recorded its lowest number of new cases in 61 days.

    “When we started seeing more cases, we decided to take up a door-to-door survey,” Bagalkot District Health Officer Dr Ananth Desai told New India Express. “When the health officials noticed people with symptoms during the survey, they tested them immediately and provided them with home isolation kits, which had medicines like Ivermectin, calcium and zinc tablets along with paracetamol. We advised the patients to start with the medication even before their Covid-19 test results came out. With these measures, we noticed that many patients recovered faster. This helped in increasing the recovery rate”.

    For the moment the separate treatment protocols recommended by India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), ( http://www.mohfw.gov.in/pdf/UpdatedDetailedClinicalManagementProtocolforCOVID19adultsdated24052021.pdf ), and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), ( http://www.icmr.gov.in/pdf/covid/techdoc/COVID_Management_Algorithm_17052021.pdf ), continue to include ivermectin. As such, many doctors are likely to continue prescribing the medicine. But what happens if MOHFW and ICMR follow the DGHS’ lead and also drop ivermectin. Will doctors stop using a medicine they know to work against a virus that has already caused so much devastation?

    “India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, has been using ivermectin since last summer. In this second wave the turnaround was so dramatic that even the World Health Organization (WHO) showcased its achievements. In a May 7 article titled “Going the Last Mile to Stop Covid-19” the WHO noted that aggressive population-wide health schemes, including home testing and “medicine kits”, had helped regain control of the virus. But what the WHO failed to mention is what was in those medicine kits.”

    “Some people fear the side effects of the shot more than they fear getting the virus.”

    It’s obviously a risk-benefit analysis, which is quite rational. The risks and benefits aren’t the same for everyone, so there is no one-size-fits-all answer.

    Also, some people have higher levels of immunity to brainwashing, and are more likely to recognize the ongoing attempts to manipulate the masses and manufacture consent. Again, it’s quite rational to resist such manipulation.

    I think it’s likely that most of the “millions of holdouts” are motivated by these rational concerns, despite the attempts in the media to paint them as uninformed kooks.

    7 May 2021

    The Uttar Pradesh state government has initiated house-to-house active case finding of COVID-19 in rural areas to contain transmission by testing people with symptoms for rapid isolation, disease management and contact tracing.

    Government teams are moving across 97,941 villages in 75 districts over five days for this activity, which began on 5 May in India’s most populous state with a population of 230 million.

    Each monitoring team has two members, who visit homes in villages and remote hamlets to test everyone with symptoms of COVID-19 using Rapid Antigen Tests (RAT) kits. Those who test positive are quickly isolated and given a medicine kit with advice on disease management. All the contacts of those who test positive are quarantined and tested using an RT-PCR at home by a rapid response team.

    Two mobile vans have been allocated to each Block within a District in the state to test people with symptoms, even as routine sample collection and testing continues in Community Health Centres.
    The state government has deployed 141,610 teams and 21,242 supervisors from the state health department for this activity to ensure all rural areas are covered.

    WHO, which supported Uttar Pradesh government in training and micro planning for the activity, now has field officers on the ground to monitor and share real-time feedback with the government for immediate corrective action to ensure quality. On the inaugural day, WHO field officers monitored over 2,000 government teams and visited at least 10,000 households. WHO will also support the Uttar Pradesh government on the compilation of the final reports.
    Those with symptoms are tested and given medicine kits and information on quarantining and isolation, both at home and in hospitals. People without signs of COVID-19 are urged to get vaccinated and follow COVID-appropriate behaviours to prevent transmission in rural areas of India’s most populated state.

    Micro planning, house visits, concurrent monitoring and follow ups were core to India’s polio eradication strategy to ensure no one misses access to vaccination and health care services.

    Roboto wrote previous: I know I said this in the previous thread, but that may have been after most readers stopped reading that one. I have essentially realized that the most “Covid-compliant” types are really just Hillary Clinton’s creepy cult from the 2016 Election. One reason I was so resistant to realizing that for so long is that the worst of Donald Trump’s creepy cult (mostly the QAnon crowd) have been piggy-backing their crazy-talk on Covid-narrative skepticism.

    Yes, and this ‘sociology’ is not limited to the US. In F and Switz. it is the Socialists who are gung-ho for lockdowns, controls, curfews, vaccines, masks, punishments for nay-sayers, etc. European Socialists are not equivalent to Dems. politically but occupy a similar position society-wise on this.

    Those against the dominant COV-19 narrative and its imposition come from the working class (e.g. Gilets Jaunes, a new ‘economic’ uprising, now killed off by the State (Macron) and cov-19, similar to US deplorables..), from the far right (if that has any meaning these days..), and from the remnants of what I call the ‘true left’, ex. Communists (or sympathisers) in France, Worker’s Party in Switz, or in GB the ‘old’ Labor, oriented to the working class (Tony Benn, last vestiges Jeremy Corbyn, pushed out.)

    Libertarians are obviouly scathing about the strictures, a more purely ideological stance, less related to pragmatics.

    So, this lockdown-vaxx-hyper scare-control scenario is fundamentally neo-liberal, and the neo-libs seem to be ‘running’ the ‘developed’ West. (Btw, Jacinda Ahern is a third-wayer, a Blairite.)

    Essentially what we are seeing here is the top 20% (not the top economic 20%, but those with social capital, sitting on decision nodes, in the media, holding important positions, being top professionals, or ‘stars’, etc.) supporting the scare pandemic and the attendant coercitive and unreasonable or even highly damaging (from a health pov) moves, demands, rules, — for their own interests.

    These interests are those of the professional-managerial-class and their hangers on, those who are dependent on it, plus those who hope to join. People who don’t work on the ground, aren’t ‘essential workers’ (deplorables), etc. They accepted or promoted lockdowns, because the lockdowns would protect *them* (no busy transport, office, lunch), love ‘vaxxes’, because these are a badge of adherence to the narrative, not a health move, and enjoy stiffing the deplorables, which was covered up by clapping for health workers and that kind of ludicrous sh*t.

    If the truck drivers in the US went on a national strike the neo-libs would change their ‘values’… slowwly. Hooww? Could this happen? They would moan. However with corrupt Unions etc. there is little chance of such a correction or re-set.

    Funny-ironic how the Seattle Times quoted by Absolute Galore fails to mention one of the larger reasons for not getting the jab, characterizing the unvaccinated as believers in conspiracies. No mention of folks who already survived Covid not wanting the vaccine.

    A couple of weeks back the the centralized part of the church I attended pre-Covid issued an advisory about group singing at church. (It isn’t compulsory — nothing is from this organization, the individual congregations retain autonomy.). The advisory made recommendations about vaccinated and unvaccinated. The music director sent it out. I responded back and pointed out that there is a whole host of Covid survivors not getting the vaccine, carrying immunity. He responded that he had FORGOTTEN all about the fact that there are people with natural immunity. He thanked me for reminding him, assured me that immunity from infection would be included as the congregation decides on its own procedures for reopening. He said that he personally considers naturally acquired immunity to be “almost as good” as vaccine inspired immunity, and urged me to get at least one dose of the vaccine to further my protection.

    This is how brain-washing works — “forgetting” facts that have not been programmed.

    If teens can legally consent to the vaccination, they should also be able to legally withhold consent from getting the unnecessary and potentially harmful injections. They could truly be “taking responsibility for their own health,” instead of blindly following the herd or succumbing to pressure from their parents or peers.

    The “About” page says VaxTeen was started by a high school senior who works as an epidemiology intern at UCLA. The “partners” of VaxTeen include something called “Keep Up The Rates,” whose website says they are “supported by GSK, Merck & Co., Inc., Pfizer Inc., and Sanofi Pasteur,” all of whom were involved in developing vaccines for Covid-19.

    John figures:
    It looks like SARS-CoV-2 virus was already on the loose in the US, Wuhan-Games, France and Italy (at least) by the time Event 201 was held, so if one assumes similar staging, then the fall of the dollar-denominated-western-empire is already underway.
    I’m not saying you should not hold some cash. I think you should, and should have good relations with the places where you get your needs met and contribute to the needs of others, and ride a bike, and grow vegetables.
    You already know my approach.

    Supporting evidence is that (patient, prudent, timely) Russians are now openly scorning the puppet-leaders of the western empire, and frontally attacking the dollar, while giving openings for negotiated settlements, at the same time.
    Look at the elegance, please.
    The US has strained to keep EU and Russia separated since the collapse of the USSR.
    First, the EU was going to share in the pillage and plunder, and it did, but when Russia reasserted autonomy under Putin, the pillage tapered to residuals on debt.
    Lately, the US has been straining mightily to keep the (energy-buying) EU separated from next door energy exporting Russia, which is just not possible, if Germany is to maintain production and pricing, and Europeans of modest means are to survive the winters.
    The last decade of wars has been fought, at least partly, to control the oil and gas flows to industrial Europe. Blocking Iranian oil/gas and Russian gas/oil, while substituting other sources, controlled by the US military, has failed, despite massive injuries to Iraq, Syria, Iran and Ukraine.
    Flipping those tables, Russia positions to destroy the petro-$ by ceasing dollar trade of oil. Russia would really like to use the Euro, and basically join the EU in some way, splitting Europe from NATO military diktats, and forming a much more powerful European alliance, based on local geography and meeting of local needs, while North America does whatever, grows corn, rebuilds infrastructure, beats swords into plowshares…
    Just imagine the flip from petro-buck to petro-Euro, Eurasian integration in an augenblick (blink of eye). The Russian Central Bank took part in Cyber-Polygon last summer, already. They were clearly under threat from the west. They kept muddling through, and making all those inferior Russian products, and getting some stuff from China, and now they are not apparently threatened at all by elimination from dollar-denominated trade, so the dollar must be threatened as global reserve currency, so yes, hold more as cash. (Yes, Dr.D is right about anti-logos.)
    Charles Hugh Smith sent this claptrap from the Fed https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/preconditions-for-a-general-purpose-central-bank-digital-currency-20210224.htm
    ,about what the essential requirements for a central bank digital currency for the US would be and who would have to sign on. Notice that the real-stakeholders, the Buffet-Bezos-Gates-Soros crowd are not on the list. It’s a lie. It soulds like they don’t have it worked out yet, but smaller banks (than the Fed) will sort of get cut out to keep the central banks in bidness. Jamie Dimon has apparently picked his side of that deal.
    One point is that Federal Reserve Notes are a central bank liability, whereas other things are not. Holding FRNs gives one a bit more autonomy, makes one a little more like a real person, a central bank. That doesn’t go very far, but people are in the habit (supremely important) of accepting FRNs as “cash”; don’t have to give it a second thought. Some of us remember stagflation, but it all happened in $US for Americans. It’ll happen again.
    Now is a bad time to buy lumber. It’s 4 times usual $ price. maybe it’ll be half that next year. Probably one should be counter-trending with $US, and not be time pressured if it can be avoided. Chinese window-unit air conditioners still seem to be cheap, even the better ones. We got the last one at the medium price at the Yoakum grocery store yesterday. It works fine. We got the kitchen floor repaired and I spent about 10 hours in the humidity gardening and pushing a good-little-Honda mower.
    Like Charles Hugh Smith has said, “work on plan-C”.
    I was mulling this over while I pushed the mower. Plan to have options and recourse in scenario-C, a scenario of USSR type collapse/reset. Maybe all the thinking and the vegetable gardening and communicating with other denominations of prepper will be good for us.
    Be on good terms with God and Man…
    One thing that is increasingly important for me is to have a working understanding of what we need as a baseline to survive and to thrive, so that I can be of assistance and offer counsel, advice and a demo, if called upon some day.

    Here’s a good example of the massive PR campaign at work in Australia, and of the obfuscating tactics of the Guardian in the spread of disinformation and fear throughout the population. One can but feel for those elderly people and families who are trying to resist the inevitable compulsory vaccination policy in care homes.
    Brilliant evil minds at the top, who have planned and continue to control this whole thing, eh what?!
    Across the ditch here in Aotearoa, nanny Jacinda has booked and paid for 10 million Pfizer jabs with tax-payer money, expecting to talk her way into every household in the land. Two jabs each for every man, woman and child. Here it’s gene therapy or nothing with a total ban on IVM (apart from horse paste, for the moment) and HCQ.

    Sometimes it feels as if the sun takes quite a while to come up 😉
    Always love to read your posts. Wondering how your thoughts are progressing with regard to the Sinovac product? Side effects? At least it’s not a gene therapy, although presumably still injecting the whole virus including the toxic spike proteins (even though “dead”)?

    Thanks Mr House, for the Peter McCullough (I watched the first 4 minute, as it suggested).
    Yep. WHY? Why a-needle-in-every-arm? Why even those recovered from COVID?
    WHY?

    Long time reader, first time poster. I just want to give a heartfelt thanks to Ilargi and all the TAE family, especially the regular posters. You guys mean a lot to me and I just want to say it in case our overlords are about to revoke our internet privileges.

    @ctbarnum: I’ve been catching up on recent posts after a busy Friday through Monday at work and the homestead. I’m not sure how you came to be notified that your-kind-ain’t-served-here. Is it a private practice or a public clinic? If the phones are anything like the phones everywhere else, you would likely fare better showing up in person, masked, polite and neatly dressed on something like a Tuesday, Wednesday, asking to have the exact legal position of the clinic explained to you for your edification, and staying there until somebody did that, or scheduled you with someone to do that.
    Take notes. Take names. Be detail-oriented. Just keep asking questions. Don’t confront overtly. Questions work to do that better, I think
    If you find, at the end of that, something illegal-appearing, then some of UpstateNYer’s legal connections might be good. Any attorney that would pose 2-3 specific legal questions to the clinic on office letterhead would get the point across. (I think)

    Regarding the Sinovac vaccine (brand name Coronavac), which is a traditional type of vaccine using inactivated Covid-19 viruses, I looked up the adverse reactions from the clinical trials and found that they are quite mild compared to the mRNA and adenovirus vector vaccines.

    The main reaction to the Sinovac vaccine was pain at the injection site. Fever was almost nonexistent. Reactions to the vaccine were fairly similar to the reactions for the placebo. In two of the trials, headaches and fatigue were more common in the placebo group than in the vaccinated group.

    Taking a quick look at efficacy, during the trials it was around 50% for preventing a “very mild” case (no treatment needed), but it was 100% effective at preventing hospitalization, and 84% effective at preventing a mild case. The confidence intervals were pretty wide, though (probably because the trials had around 10,000 participants instead of 40,000).

    The dosage is two injections which contain only 3 micrograms of the inactivated (non-replicating) Covid-19 virus. For comparison, each Pfizer injection contains 30 micrograms of the mRNA (with each strand of mRNA potentially replicating multiple times), and each Moderna injection contains 100 micrograms of the replicating mRNA.

    For transport and storage, it only needs to be kept at refrigerator temperatures.

    It looks like this Sinovac vaccine is much safer, and better overall, than the Covid vaccines being used in the US and Europe. Perhaps that’s why we don’t hear much about it in the media. Based on what I know now, if I had to get a Covid vaccination, I would want this one.
