‘opinion corridor’
• Sweden’s Failed Covid Strategy Leaves The Country Deeply Divided (Peroni)
Excuse me? As of today, Sweden’s death rate has dropped to virtually zero thus by the only measure that really matters then Sweden has been an exceptionally astounding success. Link to WHO regarding situation in Sweden:
https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/se
Sweden is only a “failure” if the goal was to herd everybody into poisonous vaccines.
As for the opinion corridor, sounds similar to the Overton Window. but I’d suggest that maybe many Swedes are keeping quiet about their governments policy’s because they are actually enjoying the relative success of the reasonably limited government response to virus hysteria, especially compared to most of the rest of the world.
Oh sure.
• 2 Separate Studies Debunk Theory That Vitamin D Protects Against Covid-19 (RT)
These studies always look at the wrong thing and end up conflating issues. Nobody is claiming that Vitamin D “protects against covid”, rather there is evidence that upwards of 80% of infections & deaths are in people with Vitamin D deficiencies. Moreover, Vitamin D deficiency has been a common though mostly under the radar problem for many people for any years now, especially in northern climates like North America and Europe.
Additionally, supplements are never as good as the real thing. Better to get outside with some sun exposure where the body naturally produces Vitamin D. This will, for a fact, improves one’s health including their immune system. Next they’ll be producing studies that claim that being thin & healthy (rather that ob*se) do not protect against covid either.
Odd mix of anti-vaxxers.
• France Faces Challenge To Persuade Millions Of Vaccine Sceptics (Sky)
We need to abandon the disparaging smear of “anti-vaxx” because the so-called anti-vaxx crowd is simply normal people with honest questions & concerns about vaccines and their giant corporate pharmaceutical companies.
Here’s an article from NPR about the rollout of a dengue vaccine in the Philippines. Read it and I dare you to tell that you still trust vaccines and would take one unquestioningly (especially the experimental new vaccines):
Thus the anti-vaxx crowd is not the freaks who deserve scorn, rather it is the Evangelical Vaccine Fanatics, i.e., those people who unwittingly shill for corporate pharmaceutical companies who are the twit that deserve to be disparaged at every turn. We need to stop using the anti-vaxx terminology and start laughing at the EVFs or Vac Fans.
Where’s the huge nationwide campaign to prevent this?
• Overweight, Obese Americans Make Up 8 in 10 Covid Hospitalizations (F.)
Well, firstly, exercise is a major component of overcoming obesity but getting outside for running & sport is in direct contradiction to the lockdowns…so can’t have that.
And secondly, fat shaming is fast becoming taboo in the official woke-world with even words like obesity being spelled as if unspeakable, i.e., ob*sity. Good grief!
Liberation ! Finally the people of Texas are FREE ! This is huge news…and soon other states and nation will follow suit. By June we’ll all be burning masks & vaccines in bonfires as we start sending tyrant politicians & bureaucrats to jail. People will be dancing & hugging in the street, making out with strangers on airplanes…it will be fun and it will be glorious !
Wow, I haven’t felt this great in ages. Vivre la Texas !
Mix 1 part seasonal flu with 2 parts marketing team and voila: covid. Sorry, forgot to scream, meant COVID! That might sound ridiculous but I’m really wondering if we’ve all been thoroughly duped by this BS.
• Biden Says US Will ‘Never’ Accept Russia’s Annexation of Crimea (Antiwar)
That’s convenient because maybe it is time that the rest of the world refuses to accept the US’s annexation of Hawaii.
• Vaccine Passports Are A Technical And Ethical Minefield (FT)
In practical terms of disease control, this passport idea is totally stupid and a waste of time. Firstly, because the corona virus (and most other diseases) are already spread all over the world. Like what? Are we trying to protect Antartica? Is that the idea?
Secondly, yeah, there is all kinds of technical BS involved not to mention it is one more stupid thing that you have to wait in line at government bureaucracy to receive. And then how up to date is it really? And who is enforcing it? It’s not like there’s never computer glitches or power outages.
Thirdly, the ethical part is very real. Why stop at corona virus vaccine? But just imagine the civil liberties outcry if a country tried to bar HIV positive travelers. That’d clearly be discrimination against homosexuals and there’d worldwide condemnation. And let’s not forget that at the same time that these clowns want vaccine passports, they are also advocating borderless travel for migrants…how does one make any sense of that BS?
This clown show needs to end and some sanity must return.
They’re first going demand to see what he has and then silence him.
• Why a Durham Report Is Becoming Highly Unlikely (ET)
Hmm, Durham has been pretty silent on his own so shutting him up shouldn’t take much work.
You’re using the wrong test.
• Finland COVID-19 Variant Reportedly May Not Show Up In Tests (NYP)
I love all this fear porn about virus variants. I’m pretty sure that right now I have an undiscovered Caribbean variant that evades tests, is highly contagious, often symptom-less yet kills frail old folks at a disproportionate rate and therefore requires my complete isolation on a sunny tropical island (or mega-yacht) until it is safe for the entire world to return to normal even though we have no idea who else may be infected with this virus variant.
Good grief what a crock of shit.
Schools open. No mask mandate. Make of it what you will.
• Florida Ranks 11th Lowest In Covid Deaths Per Capita Among Seniors (Blaze)
I will make of it that it doesn’t matter what the government authorities and TV doctors like Fauci say or do, they are completely powerless to stop viruses form spreading (although they may be able to make things worse with their policies). Also, notable that Sweden’s conventional approach has resulted in two waves of the corona virus…but at this point—middle of winter too—Sweden’s daily death count has reached zero. In other words, the “deadly virus threat” is pretty much over in Sweden.
Saved this for last because I would like some comments. Did anyone ever state vit. D was a cure for Covid? We sure did not. This epidemiologist appears to take studies on giving people already in hospital large doses of vit. D, to claim it’s useless. This is exactly how HCQ was discredited. But do chime in.
• Why Vitamin D Probably Still Can’t Cure Covid-19 (Gideon)
The study of large doses of Vitamin D in hospitals is useless. The whole point of Vitamin D is to remedy the immune system enough to avoid the hospital in the first place. It is important to remember that even without the current corona virus situation, many people in North America & Europe suffer Vitamin D deficiency (often without even knowing that this is their ailment).
Vitamin D is a natural byproduct of sun exposure, hence its correlation with winter and it’s assorted seasonal diseases. Some anecdotal evidence: I’ve been hanging out on a small tropical island sicnethe beginning of the corona virus out break. The virus has reached us and hundreds of people have been infected but all mild cases (no hospitalization). There has been one official death, however, the man was also dealing with heart trouble and in all likelihood died because of his heart issue while he had the virus, not because of the virus. And local office (very close to me) of 20 people had an outbreak: 9 positive tests bu only 2 people that actually became sick or showed any signs of illness. Moreover, the 2 sick ones also have the palest skin (i.e., least sun exposure).
I am now firmly of the belief that whatever pandemic threat existed is now completely over except for the TV newsrooms. 1- Virus has spread everywhere so no reason to restrict travel. 2- 99.9% of cases are mild and the average person can utilize supplements like Vitamin D to improve their chances 3- Doctors now have a variety of treatments available for treating the sick at all stages of the illness 4- Deaths are dropping low enough that they are barely any worse than normal population death rates
Oh, and one more: 5- Gov Cuomo is no longer juicing the death count with bad policy either.
According to the Bild newspaper, Saxony became the first region in Germany to ban hats and sunglasses on masked drivers. “Wearing a hat and sunglasses in addition to a mask that covers the face and mouth makes [the driver] unrecognizable. So that’s not allowed,”
The fashion police need to end. Now.
It doesn’t matter. She [Kamala Harris] will be believed by her fans, and that’s all that counts.
What fans? Kamala got less than 1% support in the Democrat primary.
According to a recent report summarised in the Guardian, execs fat is responsible for 23% of deaths, far more than the number of deaths with covid.
Trigger warning: But we are not even allowed to talk about ob*sity anymore without offending, so how can these live possibly be saved?
Here’s another alternate for saving lives: did you know that mosquito borne illnesses (malaria, dengue, zika, etc.) kill nearly 2.7 million people each year and rising? Why aren’t people freaked out about this obvious worldwide menace? Masks help but if everybody would cover their entire bodies then mosquito bites would be drastically reduced. We need head-to-toe mandates and we need them now. Also, don’t forget to publicly shame anybody seen in shorts or sandals because they are killers ! (/sarcasm)
On another note, anybody else notice that the daily deaths in Sweden have dropped to zero?
https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/se (scroll down for the daily death graphic)
Once again, it appears that the non-panicked approach of Sweden was correct. The “deadly” virus has now burned out there.Masks Exacerbate Airborne Spread
That wouldn’t surprise me in the least given that every place that has mandated masks then saw infection rates immediately rise.
The mask madness needs to end. The world will not be sane again until we bury the pseudo science that created the gospel of the holy mask.
COVID numbers in the UK and US crashed at the exact same moment. How is that possible?
It is possible because Trump has left Wash DC and the virus was always more of a political issue than a medical issue.
Why is the idea of surrendering control of parts of the US to Facebook, Google etc. not shot down on sight?
• Will Corporation-Owned Smart Cities Come To Nevada? (AN)
Not shot on sight because it is not really so new? Disney set up shop in central Florida because they got a sweet deal from government there to pretty much rule as they please. It is just that there isn’t really any resident “citizens” living there.
Also, some of the big state universities in America are pretty much autonomous too with there own police forces and un-constitutional Student Conduct Codes (i.e., laws).
With precedents like those, Facebook Town and Googleville are probably inevitable.
• Mark Cuban’s Mavericks Won’t Play National Anthem Anymore (NYP)
I’m mostly ok with this. Playing the national anthem before every game has always felt a bit absurd to me. At a baseball game, you are sitting there in the bleachers, beer in hand and half way through a hot dog when suddenly you are supposed to drop everything and stand at attention. Probably half the crowd was ignoring it anyway until all this kneeling BS arrived. So I don’t have a problem eliminating it to keep politics out of sports. And don’t even get me started on the recent “tradition” of adding God Bless America to the 7th inning stretch.
There is also the absurdity of it just in the sense that being at a baseball game is already pretty darn American thing to do. Imagine if the French paused to sing La Marseillaise everytime the ate coq-au-vin…because you know, they might forget that they are French.
Having said all of that, singing the anthem before big games can add to the ceremonial feel of the affair. Opening Day or a championship game, for example. Also, perhaps first game after something like September 11, 2001. And it is still nice to hear the various anthems at international Olympic style events when an athlete represents his country by winning a gold medal.
But overall, I’m generally for decoupling sports from the state.
• Five Ways The Government Could Have Avoided 100,000 Covid Deaths (G.)
It seems to me that problem number 1 should be listed as a lack of sunshine/vitamin D.
All the talk of closing borders and lockdowns to stop a corona virus is completely absurd. Have they not noticed that this is something like the fifth coronavirus? Why isn’t anybody complaining that the border was left open for the 4 previous coronaviruses?
The world needs to remember that it is full of hundreds, thousands even of virus & bacteria. Trying to stop even 1 of them is an insane fools errand.
We’re all hostages to these companies now. No-one talks about boosting your immune system, or getting fitter, natural defenses are not done.
• How To Redesign COVID Vaccines So They Protect Against Variants (Nature)
We are only hostages if we want to be. But the first thing is to realize what these mRNA “vaccines” are up to. They are designed not so much as a traditional vaccine but rather an “operating system” or os (no wonder Bill Gates is involved) with the idea that once the start tinkering with your DNA then they can keep tweaking for whatever the latest crisis ailment is as reported on the news. Some real Frankestein BS.
Moderna flat out admits these on their own website where they describe the “operating system”:
https://www.modernatx.com/mrna-technology/mrna-platform-enabling-drug-discovery-development
Enabling Drug Discovery & Development
We built Moderna on the guiding premise that if using mRNA as a medicine works for one disease, it should work for many diseases. And, if this is possible – given the right approach and infrastructure – it could meaningfully improve how medicines are discovered, developed and manufactured.Our Operating System
Recognizing the broad potential of mRNA science, we set out to create an mRNA technology platform that functions very much like an operating system on a computer. It is designed so that it can plug and play interchangeably with different programs. In our case, the “program” or “app” is our mRNA drug – the unique mRNA sequence that codes for a protein.And naturally the Bill Gates Microsoft OS is notorious for being released half-baked and then trying to patch up later. It baffles the mind that they think he should be the global face of these “vaccine” effort. I’d feel a lot better if Steve Jobs were the billionaire behind this effort because at least he was competent.
In the meantime, no way I am subjecting myself to the mRNA vaccine madness. And I am doing my best to inform everyone about the risks too.
Hydroxychroquine really works says Professeur of Medicine Dr Peter McCullough…
Of course it works, many doctors have been claiming this for almost a year now. But that highlights perhaps the most dangerous aspect of the entire corona virus affair: the attack on practicing doctors.
We hear a lot these days about attacks on experts but those are just pundits on tv offering one-size-fits-all pseudo-solutions. Meanwhile, working professionals (such as medical doctors) are undermined, either promote the tv dogma or risk losing professional license.
Throughout history, if one became sick then they sought the advise and care of someone with experience (and hopefully success) in dealing with the matter at hand. Up close, a skilled doctor can evaluate a patient with all of the necessary nuance for creating a course of action. Instead, suddenly, we have been propelled into a world where doctor & patient no longer matter because EVERYBODY is presumed sick and/or dangerous to others…thus absurd, universally mandated policies rain down with incredible bureaucratic efficiency.
In short, it is a massive centralization of power. The crisis is not medical at all, it is entirely political as tyranny is emerging everywhere in a blitzkrieg attack against us all.
French President Emmanuel Macron claimed on Friday that the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine appears to have little effect on elderly patients,
Of course, AstraZeneca is also one of the non-mRNA “vaccines” that big pharma is banking on. Can’t have any alternative options for us serfs. At very least, they need to be smeared.
I wouldn’t trust Macron. And how convenient for him that the virus outbreak has crushed the Gilet Juanes protest movement.
75% and 90% Efficient at what exactly?
A plastic bag secured over your head is 100% Efficient…at both keep out airborne viruses and death by suffocation. These people think we are stupid, hate us, and want us dead. It is as simple as that.
And off to the bullfight we go. Still not a word on HCQ, ivermectin or even vitamin D. Is it really just incompetence?
Not incompetence. The elites hates us and want many of us dead. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if they are intentionally doing these things to make us suffer & die. We are knee deep in world war III but instead of nation states fighting it is the elites against everyone as they desperately try to consolidate power.
Anyhow, nice to see the daily virus number back up top. And glad to see that we are up to 99.6 mild cases. And deaths are down to 3%. Remember when it was over 10% and rising? Clearly the outbreak has improved a lot in the past year.
The Boeing 737 Max should never fly again and be totally scrapped. Boeing tried to take a short cut by using software to patch over a design problem. All of Boeing’s decisions were driven by short term financial gain.
Ideally, the fraudulent executives and engineers at Boeing should be criminal charged in their decisions that eventually led to the plane crashes. That should be enough to put Boeing totally out of business. At which point, some industrialists could rebuild some new companies from the scraps of Boeing. It would be much safer for the general public to have two or three airplane manufacturers competing for business instead of a single “too big too fail” behemoth like Boeing that believes they can get away with murder.
Merkel To Close German Borders Unless EU Agrees On Covid-19 Fight (RT)
What’s the point of all of these travel restrictions when the virus is everywhere already? Most people aren’t really looking to travel right now anyways.
Someday, in the not too distant future, we will look back at all the efforts to “control” the spread of the virus and realize that it was all a totally unscientific shot in the dark and a total waste of time and effort. As long as there are still humans, then a virus outbreak like this is going to spread until it inevitably burns itself out.
Lockdowns are worse than useless. Masks are nearly useless. Vaccinations are beginning to look half-useless too. They only thing to be done is treat the sick as best we can and let the rest of go about our lives as best we can too.
I can’t wait until the current crop of politicians (Merkel, Macron, Biden, etc.) are flushed out of office.
Vitamin D, Zinc, Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, etc.
Lockdowns, masks, experimental vaccines, etc.
Isn’t it obvious by now? Governments & health officials don’t care anything about the well-being of the general public, they only care about power; about consolidating and centralizing as much power as possible. In other words, about telling you what to do regardless if it helps you or not because…obviously…they know better than you bunch of sorry deplorables.
“…empowering individuals with digital vaccination records”
There is nothing empowering about it. Instead, it is one more thing that is subject to fraud or hacking (like everything digital is) that individuals will need to keep track of. Kind of like a credit score. And heaven forbid should your digital record have an error and you are forced into the bureaucratic hell of trying to correct when all of the powerless technicians say something like, “gee I’d like to help but I can’t change what the computer says.” The whole thing is terrible idea and total BS.
Qanon shaman ?
That guy is a total fraud. He actually had a page on a freelance acting website (now removed) saying that he was for hire. In retrospect, the “storm the Capitol” looks like an expertly timed bit of political theater that conveniently redshifted the narrative just in the nick of time. Instead of Americans hearing various Republicans making a case for election shenanigans…instead that conversation was pushed int the middle of the night while the entire world was now abuzz with talk about all of those “crazy” images out of the Capitol.Vaccine too dangerous for the over 80 crowd?
Given that that the virus primarily affects the elderly, then the vaccine is pretty much useless and not worth the risk of side effects.To put the U.K. variant in perspective, with its faster spread, we are effectively put back to where we once were without masks — even when we’re now wearing masks!
Masks have always been pointless in fighting coronavirus. In fact, trying to stop the spread of an airborne virus at all is totally insane and leads to absurdities like quarantining perfectly healthy people (while you wreck their economic well-being).
All we can do for the most part is treat people who are sick and try to help those who are weak become stronger (exercise, vitamins, etc.) so that they can fight the virus themselves when exposed. Basic medicine, in there words.
Of course last night’s events are presented as insurrection, a coup, treason. But come on. 3 people died of medical emergencies, and the one person who was shot was a female Air Force veteran protesting for Trump. No politician was hurt.
It is also rather absurd to accuse the President (& Commander-in-Chief of the military) of a coup. He is kind of already in power.
Aside from the woman murdered by the police, the events at the Capitol looked pretty tame (although I do hope a few of the Congressmen were soiling their pants at the thought of being on the receiving end of mob justice; serves them right as they deserve to be scared of the populace every no and then). Many of the protesters in the Capitol were even respecting velvet ropes while crossing the rotunda. It is worth remembering that the Capitol is a public building and it is hardly absurd for the common citizen to be there.
Moreover, compare to the average Antifa/BLM “peaceful” protests which descend into a hellscape of rock throwing, obscenities and vulgar graffiti (covering about 6 feet tall of every building). They’d have been rampaging through the halls of Congress mashing up everything in the crudest fashion.
Frankly, yesterday amounted to the old much ado about nothing.
Kamala Harris is an absolute tyrant in the making. Terrifying to think that Biden was a Trojan horse for that. Unbelievable that some people still think Trump is worse.
Not surprised that side affects of the new vaccines are 50x worse. Remember the mRNA is new technology. Big Pharma has been trying to get it to market for 20+ years but consistently failed because of too many bad reactions. They’ve used the overhyped hysteria of sars-cov-2 to pull another Trojan horse con job and foist a shit technology on us serfs.
And Peru is absolutely correct to resist the corporate immunity. Frankly, there is no way that Big Pharma should have immunity for their poisons and sick experiments anywhere in the world. It is embarrassing that only 3rd World nations still seem to understand this.
Tourism Tumbles To 1990 Levels As Pandemic Halts Travel
It strikes me that the drop in travel has more to do with the multitude of arbitrary rules as various governments vainly attempt to stop a virus (as if governments even could stop a virus). As the virus is everywhere, it is not the reason that I haven’t traveled in the last year. Rather, the rules change so quickly & arbitrarily that I don’t want to deal with the consequences of being stuck abroad when a President gets spooked and decides to close everything over night.
Additionally, commercial flights have already lost much of their romance particularly in the cramped economy seats. But now one is expected to bear the additional burdens of wearing a mask (which doesn’t stop the virus) and offering test results (which are wonky) as proof of…what exactly?
I think the interpretation of Putin’s immunity passport might be backwards. If it leads to an new iron curtain then maybe he is trying to keep out the genetically modified freaks created by the western mRNA vaccines.
But again, what is the point of the immunity passport itself? If the virus is everywhere in the world already and and even the pharmaceutical companies are hesitating to claim that their vaccines provide immunity, it is pointless beyond acknowledging that the recipient is willing to trust big pharm & mainstream media propaganda.
the world’s first direct-acting antiviral antidote if clinical trials are successful.
According to Veronika Skvortsova, the head of FMBA, studies thus far have shown it is more than 99% effective.Well, firstly I’m always skeptical of what they mean by “99% effective.” If that means that they are giving it to 100 patients with sars-cov-2 infection and the drug clears them of the infection shortly thereafter…then bravo! because that is really great news.
And oh how fun it would be to see all of the big pharma vaccine pundits’ heads explode if the Russians—of all people!—were the ones to do it 🙂
Might be the best news that I’ve heard in years: a Russian drug to end coronavirus threat and presumably end the Russia! Russia! Russia! fear mongering too. And oddly enough acts as a mirror of the sinking feeling that I had last New’s Years as the first news of the Wuhan Flu creeped into western consciousness.
Been a hell of a trip around the sun this time. Happy New Year everybody !
I’m afraid I lost the plot line along the way. If the chief WHO scientist says there’s no evidence the vaccine protects you from being infected, or even from infecting others, what is the purpose of a vaccine passport?
• Travelers May Need A COVID Vaccine Passport To Travel In 2021 (JTN)
The purpose is to keep everybody scared into compliance with bureaucratic tyranny.
None of it makes any logical sense. As the virus is basically everywhere now, there’s not much point in having any travel restrictions any more beyond barring sick travelers with obvious symptoms (heavy coughing). Healthy and asymptomatic people should not have to prove anything, that burden should be on airline, cruise ships or whatever.
And if you need docs regarding your coronavirus status then why stop there? Let’s prove you are HIV free too. And have approved blood pressure. I see now reason why we can’t have Medical Doctors manning CT scanners at the security check point so that we can screen for tumors while the TSA looks for contraband. That might have actually helped me catch a tour that grew to 10 inches in my belly before I knew about it.
I see a tsunami of violent lockdown protests in our immediate future. Maybe it’ll wait till 2021, but not much longer.
Definitely can feel it coming. My sense is that people might play it cool through the holidays which is time for home & family anyways. But come January & February, if the wanna-be tyrants in public service don’t ease up then they’ll be in for a world of hurt. Not enough cops to arrest everybody just because the governor wants it so.
Winter is a bigger factor than most acknowledged.
Agreed that weather is a significant driver in respiratory illnesses like the seasonal cold outbreaks. But it also appears to be a little more nuanced than : winter bad, summer good. Any weather that drives people indoors to small spaces, tight quarters with others (homes, offices, etc.) increases the speed of an outbreak. Hence the summer spikes in the US south with their heavy reliance on Air Conditioning. The sweet spot seems to be about 75–85°F or 24–29°C where people can comfortably open windows and freely circulate inside & outside. Funny though…nobody is referring to the virus outbreak as an issue of environment.
Masks are still totally useless. Outside in the street with air flowing about, unlikely to catch a virus from someone else unless they literally sneeze or cough in your face. Indoors, the bigger factor is your proximity to others. If your spouse becomes infected and you spend more than 10 minutes speaking in close proximity, then you are likely to become infected too regardless of whether or not you are wearing masks. It’s like farting…in a room, everyone will smell even if you are wearing pants, but outside it’s barely noticeable.
It’s starting to feel like we’re going to need new definitions for “vaccine” as well as for “immunization”.
It’d probably be a good start if we would just revisit the existing definitions. Too many people seem to equate vaccine with cure, particularly a magic bullet or panacea. It’s not. Certainly doesn’t eliminate or even attack the virus itself. Instead, vaccine basically stimulates the immune system for the virus. Kind of like a sparring partner prepping a boxer for a fight. Problem is that if the boxer (i.e., immune system) isn’t already in good shape via training then it doesn’t matter much what the sparring buddy does. Guy will get crushed in the fight if he hasn’t put in the hours of running, weight training, diet etc.
A vaccine is basically a way of speeding up herd immunity process, nothing more. The irony is that we’e been actively using lockdowns and social distancing to slow the herd immunity process for almost a year now. Big picture…our approach to this corona virus has been insanely stupid.
On another note, how can we claim that a vaccine is, for example, 5% effective if we don’t know how many people are already immune to the virus? There is speculation and some anecdotal evidence that as much as 80% of population can avoid infection based on the health of their immune systems with T-cell and antibodies via exposure to previous corona viruses. If we can eliminate 80%o f population from trial studies on that count, then effectiveness of vaccine in protecting vulnerable people drops to what, something more like 50–75%, right?
And if it sounds like the idea that 80% of people already have effective natural immunity, let’s not forget the Diamond Princess cruise ship debacle. A real nightmare worst case scenario: hundreds of people (may elderly) trapped on a boat, winter weather, shared hvac system, with a brand new virus raging about. And guess what? If you resist the numbers, you’ll see that about 80% of passengers & crew somehow managed to avoid infection.
The Vitamin D deficiency info is hardly surprising. As this vitamin is created by sun exposure, North Americans and Northern Europeans have been suffering from it for year now. Especially given the sometimes fanatical efforts of some people to avoid the sun because it “causes cancer”,
Supplements help, but firstly, people need to get outside more and into the sunshine. Leave the fear in the basement with Biden & lock the cellar doors. Too many health benefits to even list.
“The reason we have a higher number of reported COVID-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals,” Briand said
.
Holy smokes, old people are more likely to die?! Who would have ever thought that before 2020.
When is the fog going to lift and everybody realizes that we have been duped by what is—more or less—a seasonal cold or flu but re-packaged by a PR team into coved-19? Excuse me, I forgot the panic-inducing all caps. Obviously meant COVID-19. Earlier this year there was a supposed leak of a report for the German Interior Ministry that basically said most people dying with corona virus infection were old and/or sick enough that they likely would have died within 12 months one way or another any how.
I’ve been following the virus outbreak story since about Jan 1st and after the early fear (yes me too) with strange reports out of China and then the overwhelmed Italian hospitals, I began to regain my sanity in about Easter time in mid-April. Even by then it was becoming clear that the threat was overblown and that this was not the pandemic that we had always feared from scary movies or tales of the Black Death in the Middle Ages.
It has been really surreal to see the ongoing nuttiness in all facets of the public realm.
#notthepandemicwewerepromised
The is no reason to begin with mandatory vaccination. Firstly, although the numbers vary, it is somewhere between 20% and 70% of a population that needs immunity to knock down the likelihood of an outbreak to almost zero. If you can reach those numbers voluntarily, then no reason to force the vaccination.
Secondly, many people such as myself are immediately suspicious and inclined to resist if something becomes mandatory. Mask are perfect example. I was often wearing on a voluntary basis early this year. But as soon as petty gov tyrants started making it mandatory, I immediately began to resist. I almost never wear it now as I simply avoid most paces where it is necessary.
Thirdly, forced vaccinations especially with experimental drug technology such as mRNA vaccine if a violation of fundamental human right to sovereignty of own body and a denial of informed consent. Wasn’t much of the Nuremberg Trial about that kind of stuff? The proposed forced vaccinations are borderline Nazi kind of stuff.
Speaking of vaccine guinea pigs, here is a good example of the risks as NPR looked into a rushed dengue virus vaccine in the Philippines:
Cure was worst than the disease. Perhaps the most interesting part is the the Phillipino gov prosecuted 10 public health officials during the fallout.
Granted most western govs are pretty feckless these days. But if I were a public health tyrant then maybe I’d think twice about pushing experimental vaccines if it could land me in jail.
Better than a vaccine?
Yes, of course. The problem is that in the dominant narrative vaccine has become synonymous with a cure, a panacea or magic bullet. The reality is that vaccine is only a strategy of provoking the immune system for dealing with a virus. It does not directly attack the virus itself.
So the fundamental strategy should be to improve immune system health and acknowledge the people with already healthy immune systems do not need tinkering.i.e., no mandatory vaccinations. Let’s not forget that upwards of 80% of people can fend off the sars-cov-2 virus without becoming infected and of those who do become infected 99% suffer mld to no symptoms.
Given that, it is almost laughable that these companies are claiming that their vaccines are 95% effective in trials. Initial human trials tend to be in people that are already quite healthy. How about test the effectiveness of the vaccine amongst the 70+ nursing home crowd?
Also, very worth noting that the reason that Pfizer vaccine needs minus 70 degree temps is because it is using a synthetic chemical called polyethylene glycol (PEG). Lipid nanoparticles have a nasty tendency to cause inflammation…which leads to plenty of ailments.
And this is curious, a link to a UK tendering system asking for an AI system to help deal with the expected flood of adverse drug reactions during the vaccine rollout by the MHRA (Medicine & Healthcare Regulatory Agency) :
II.2.4)
Description of the procurement:
The MHRA urgently seeks an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software tool to process the expected high volume of Covid-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction (ADRs) and ensure that no details from the ADRs’ reaction text are missed.Link:

As for John Kerry, he’s just another hypocritical dope. 6 houses, 12 cars, travel by private jet …yet we are supposed to take the bus so that he can get credit for saving the planet.
Why bother if other vaccines don’t require this?
Yeah, it doesn’t make sense but as long as Pfizer can use it to keep their place in line for the virus cash grab then no reason for them to stop the nonsense either.
As for the election, it doesn’t surprise me that 30% of Democrats believe the election was stolen from Trump because with the massive fraud it sounds like nearly 30% of Democrats were part of the voting counting system that did the stealing.
The real problem is that so many Democrats see no problem with cheating as long as it keeps Trump out of office because, you know, he is so extra specially bad like Hitler Putin or even worse.
mRNA vaccines may sound like a great new breakthrough but it is also worth remembering the dangers too. This would be the first use of mRNA vaccine so in theory we should proceed with extra caution…instead, it has been rushed through without the usually step of animal testing and without long term observation of human effects. And some people want to make this vaccine mandatory for everybody? That’s insanely dangerous.
Given that an mRNA technology is basically messing with our DNA, a more prudent course would be to deploy it towards the vulnerable elderly population first. They are most vulnerable and also because of advanced age least susceptible to long term risks. Moreover, they are past child-bearing age and given that we have no idea how mRNA tinkering might play out in future generations it would again be dangerous to mandate that young healthy people accept the injection given that their immediate risk of death by cars-cov-2 is near zero and on par with traditional influenza.
As I understand it, the Russian vaccine utilizes more traditional vaccine technology. If forced to do it, I’d much prefer to opt for the Russian version than become a guinea pig for Moderna & Pfizer’s frankenstein experimentation. But hopefully we don’t reach the tyranny of forced immunizations.
Oh…and Bongo Biden is genius ! Need more of that.
Daily case numbers are BS. It would make more sense to track numbers of people actually sick. Not that we should be reporting any of these numbers with the urgency of daily headlines. One could scare any population by cherry-picking the worst data. Why not daily numbers of influenza deaths? Diabetes deaths? Aids deaths? etc.
These case count remind me of that stupid Terror Alert system which was always Orange level, i.e., perpetual panic and totally worthless.
As for the Election, the real issue at this point is will states with reported fraud in Dem stronghold cities (PA, MI, Wi, etc.) have enough legitimacy to actually be certified? That could keep both candidates below the 270 threshold and then kick the election outcome in the state legislatures. Definitely not over.
Very large study, interpreted.: .. no correlation whatsoever between severity of lockdown and number of covid deaths. [..] there was no correlation between mass testing and covid deaths either, for that matter. Basically, nothing that various world governments have done to combat covid seems to have had any effect whatsoever on the number of deaths.
This has been obvious for some time now. As Alex Berenson has been saying “virus is going to virus”.
However, governments with the aid of a complicit press can ramp up virus panic and then use that to enact further tyrannical policies.
We need to throw out all of the government policies regarding the coronavirus and just take the hit on the chin. Lockdowns, masks, testing and tracing are all a gigantic waste of effort. Even if it kills a billion people (vastly unlikely), time to just get on with it. And with any luck, it will knock off a bunch of those doddering old fools in charge of government, academia and corporations too.
