    Thanks for the Computing Forever video, Mr Roboto.
    I commented recently that Australia appeared to be synchronizing for a Chinese takeover.

    @Susmarie108: You mean 0.4 mg/kg as an ivermectin dose, not 4 mg.kg, though you would suffer no real harm at the horse dose.
    You would waste precious ivermectin…
    It’s harder and harder to get ahold of.

    @Zerosum: having a good vitamin-D level should reduce a person’s risk of vaccine adverse events. I have seen a lot of other different advice, but I don’t know the basis of it, so I can’t judge it. An aspirin per day for vaccine day, for about 2 weeks, 81 mg or 325 mg, should reduce clotting risks. One would repeat that twice for a 2 shot vaccine. I don’t believe it has been studied.


    @Hexadec
    : Yes, aspirin is an NSAID, but it is used daily at relatively low doses as a blood thinner, reducing platelet aggregation. This is a routine medical distinction, setting the first NSAID apart from the others, when used to reduce clotting risks.

    @Phoenix Voice: Nice assessment of “workers owning the means of production”, and what that may actually mean in egalitarian/libertarian terms, not totalitarian misappropriation of a concept.

    ​I think the AMA declaration of treason charges for doctors prescribing safe-and-effective ivermectin is a wartime action.​
    ​ ​During times of war, political leaders have serially restricted the media from simply telling the truth. During the American civil war, President Lincoln shut down some 300 newspapers and arrested some 14,000 journalists who had the audacity to contradict his statements to the public.
    ​ ​As extreme as that may sound, this practice has been more the rule in history than the exception.
    In most countries, in most eras, some publications go against the official story line and may very well pay a price for doing so. But, other publications go along with the official story line to a greater or lesser degree and are often rewarded for doing so.​ ​https://internationalman.com/articles/quantitative-brainwashing/

    People can tell themselves that they didn’t see where things have been heading for the last 17 months, but they did. They saw all the signs along the way. The signs were all written in big, bold letters, some of them in scary-looking Germanic script. They read …
    “THIS IS THE ROAD TO TOTALITARIANISM.”…​ ​Yes, that’s harsh, but this is not a game. It isn’t a difference of opinion. The global-capitalist ruling establishment is implementing a new, more openly totalitarian structure of society and method of rule. They are revoking our constitutional and human rights, transferring power out of sovereign governments and democratic institutions into unaccountable global entities that have no allegiance to any nation or its people. That is what is happening … right now. It isn’t a TV show. It’s actually happening. The time for people to “wake up” is over. At this point, you either join the fight to preserve what is left of those rights, and that sovereignty, or you surrender to the “New Normal,” to global-capitalist totalitarianism. I couldn’t care less what you believe about the virus, or its mutant variants, or the experimental “vaccines.” This isn’t an abstract argument over “the science.” It is a fight … a political, ideological fight. On one side is democracy, on the other is totalitarianism https://consentfactory.org/2021/07/31/the-road-to-totalitarianism/

    Not every ultimatum work out​ as planned​:UK care workers leave industry en masse after being told to get vax or quit, with unions begging govt to reconsider policy​ ​ ​According to the Guardian, which spoke to several care home industry officials, “three-quarters of care home operators are reporting an increase in staff quitting since April,” with the reasons being “a desire for less stress and for higher pay” and “to avoid mandatory vaccination, which comes into effect on 11 November.”​… The vacancies for care workers could total more than 170,000 people – with 70,000 being those who refuse the jab – after mandatory vaccination is implemented later this year, according to government estimates cited in the media.​ ​https://www.rt.com/uk/533968-uk-care-worker-exodus-vaccine/

    @Phoenix Voice: Good job unpacking that San Francisco Jan through June 2021 study on viral variants in vaccinated and unvaccinated hosts. It was almost completely pre-delta. I see no reason why the vaccinated carrier would not be effective at infecting the unvaccinated host, as well as the vacinated host. These cohorts may have had a lot of time shifting in the groups. The really big surge in January/February was almost all unvaccinated, since very few had gotten them yet.
    The unvacinated dominated the first half of the time series, and vaccinated were mostly present in the second half of the time series. I bet that has significance as to the evolution of variants.

    The similar transmissibility, but specializing for type of host, is the kind of thing that looks for a breakout opportunity. If there really is the potential for the degree of antibody dependent enhancement of viral pathogenicity that was suggested in what I posted August 23:

    “Here is a specific mechanism of vaccine-antibodies to alpha-COVID spike protein enhancing the ability of delta-COVID to enter human cells, once the spike protein anchors to the cell.​ This is demonstrated to predominate in effet over the blocking antibodies, since delta mutated and they lost effectiveness against it.”
    Infection-enhancing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies recognize both the original Wuhan/D614G strain and Delta variants. A potential risk for mass vaccination?
    ​ ​Using molecular modeling approaches, we show that enhancing antibodies have a higher affinity for Delta variants than for Wuhan/D614G NTDs. We show that enhancing antibodies reinforce the binding of the spike trimer to the host cell membrane by clamping the NTD to lipid raft microdomains. This stabilizing mechanism may facilitate the conformational change that induces the demasking of the receptor binding domain. As the NTD is also targeted by neutralizing antibodies, our data suggest that the balance between neutralizing and facilitating antibodies in vaccinated individuals is in favor of neutralization for the original Wuhan/D614G strain. However, in the case of the Delta variant, neutralizing antibodies have a decreased affinity for the spike protein, whereas facilitating antibodies display a strikingly increased affinity.

    @Kimo:
    What to do for a vitamin-D level of 101, when lab normal range is 30-100 and toxicity is generally considered >150?
    I’m pretty sure there is no clear answer to your question. Data I have seen is sparse but looks like 60-80 might be ideal.
    Try skipping weekends, or take 4000 units/d.
    You have an unusual conundrum 🙂

    @Zerosum: I’m glad your doc would prescribe ivermectin. The pharmacy knows.


    @Expatkiwi
    : I would not add cinchona. Cinchonism is toxicity from that family of compounds. Hydroxychloroquin acts at least partly to help zinc get into cells. So does quercetin , available as a supplement. 250-500 mg/d with 25-50 mg/d zinc is good as part of preventive cocktail.

    In further news-of-John, the Federally Qualified Health Center where I work (18 cumulative years, now) is experiencing more cognitive dissonance now about my treating people with ivermectin-based-therapy.
    I have been email communicating with the Medical Director, a good human, who feels like a brother, and the Director of Adult Medicine, who is a good human and feels like a sister. I am not ethically able to do less than or other than my best for each patient. I can and will document more thoroughly that I discussed standards of care in the US (which I do contrast to India and Mexico already). I will document that. I am not averse to monoclonal antibody infusion, and have referred for it, but it is cumbersome, only helps in the first 5 days of symptoms, and can not really stand on it’s own, more as an adjunct to ivermectin et. al. I will document discussing/offering it.

    A new twist was the mention that I am prescribing ivermectin “outside of a clinical trial”. It would be easier for administration if I were enrolled in a clinical trial, it seems.
    I have just initiated communication with a doctor doing just such a trial, and enrolling physicians.
    I will chase this at least as hard as a mutt dog chases an ice-cream truck, and maybe for longer.
    We’ll see how this tack fares in the uneven winds and seas.

    Getting ready to bike to work at the clinic. These days are numbered.

    I m coming under harsh institutional scrutiny for giving people real information about vaccine risks/benefits, and now for prescribing ivermectin based treatment.

    ​ ​It’s amazing how you can lie with statistics when you don’t provide context and/or leave key information out of your false narrative.
    ​ ​ As of July 4, the entire covid fear narrative was dying out, with cases crashing to new lows and the Big Pharma vaccine profit machine sputtering. That is when those controlling the media narrative began running the stories about the Indian variant and the imminent tragedy. As cases soared over 350,000 per day, the MSM was predicting bodies piling up in the streets​ ​They failed to give context that India has 1.4 billion people, four times the population of the U.S. On a cases per million basis, India’s surge was still 70% lower than the U.S. peak in January. And then the cases collapsed by 75% in a matter of weeks, with no mass rollout of vaccines. But they did distribute copious amounts of ivermectin. Must just be a coincidence. Everyone knows ivermectin is only for cows and horses, per the “experts” at the FDA.​
    ​With the Indian case collapse, the purveyors of fear needed to give the Indian variant a new scary name – Delta Variant. So India, with a 10% vaccination rate has seen a complete collapse in cases. Meanwhile, the UK and Israel, with some of the highest vaccination rates in the world, 64% and 60% respectively, have seen huge surges in Delta cases. It’s almost as if the vaccines have created the Delta surge.​..
    ​ ​The current all hands on deck campaign to discredit ivermectin is a sign of desperation, as they have only been able to coerce and scare just over 50% of the population to have this Big Pharma concoction injected into their bodies. With cases peaking at 155,000 per day, the desperation of Fauci and his acolytes is visible for all to see.

    Julian Assange’s Warning: Humanity’s Last Stand
    As the U.S. loses face in the Afghanistan debacle, a video of Julian Assange speaking in 2011 about the goal behind the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan went viral on social media.​..
    ​“While the internet has brought about a revolution in our ability to educate each other, the consequent democratic explosion has shaken existing establishments to their core. Burgeoning digital super-states such as Google, Facebook and their Chinese equivalents, who are integrated with the existing order, have moved to re-establish discourse control. This is not simply a correction action. Undetectable mass social influence powered by artificial intelligence is an existential threat to humanity.”​ …
    ​ ​In the middle of 2020, the World Economic Forum (WEF) announced their plan for a better world to emerge from the COVID-19 crisis. WEF, together with the United Nations, business sectors and civil society, aims to build the foundations of the world economic system on the Internet of Things, and implementation of AI technology and robotics.
    ​ ​The key idea behind this initiative is transhumanism. Dubbed as Humanity +, transhumanism is a loosely-defined global intellectual movement that has developed over the last decades. With a view that humans are nothing more than complex biological machines, transhumanists aim to enhance human conditions beyond biological limitations through genetic engineering, nanotechnology and artificial intelligence.
    ​ ​Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of WEF, in his book “The Fourth Industrial Revolution,” articulated that transhumanism is a process that brings radical change in our lifestyle, opening a new chapter in human development. He described the goal of the Great Reset as creating a post-human society through a “fusion of our physical, digital and biological identity”.​ (​”​Borg​”​?)​ …
    ​ In her interview by the Investigative Corona Committee Germany, investigative journalist Whitney Webb shed light on hidden motives of the tech companies in censoring content related to Covid-19. She talked about how Google, which is a parent company of YouTube, has investment in the AstraZeneca vaccine via Vaccitech, and ties between the U.S. government, the military and Big Tech companies.
    ​ ​Webb reported that mRNA technology used in vaccines such as Pfizer and Moderna was started with large investment from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) – an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military. She described a push by the tech sector to remake the health care system, moving into telemedicine as a route to changing the current paradigm of medical care.
    ​ ​Webb talked about how companies like Google and Microsoft are now engaged in efforts to replace doctors with apps. Through the use of AI, they create “Precision Medicine”, gene edited medicine targeted to the individual. She pointed out how those developments are not made for profit but to use health care as a way to implement AI and create a technocracy.​..
    ​ At the beginning of 2021, Silicon Valley’s tech companies, in partnership with healthcare companies and the Commons Project Foundation that was established with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, launched the Vaccination Credential Initiative. Together, they are creating digital COVID-19 vaccination records – a global certification system that validates lab results based on their designated authorities.
    ​ ​Naomi Wolff, feminist author, journalist and CEO of a tech company spoke out about the danger of this “proof of vaccination” system that is designed to be used for the purpose of regulating cross-border travel and commerce. Wolff, who authored “The End of America” which outlines the 10 steps those in power can use to close down democracy, warned that this will not stop at Covid or vaccinations and that it heralds the death of liberty in the West. She emphasized that this vaccine passport is “the same platform as China’s social credit system that now enslaves 800 billion people through surveillance and facial recognition technology”
    ​ ​This requirement to show digital proof of one’s health status creates a two tier society, where the unvaccinated are treated as secondary citizens, barred from buying food at supermarkets, eating at restaurants and using public transportation. Around the vaccine passport, the infrastructure for the WEF’s digital economy is now being built.
    ​​ In April 2021, The International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, who joined the initiatives of the Great Reset, stated that “vaccine policy is economic policy”. They are now preparing to roll out Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) that have the capability to control funds, monitor and trace transactions, linking them to personal IDs with a record stored in a massive database.​..
    ​ The monstrous force being unleashed in cyberspace begins to enslave humanity. This is exactly what Assange warned us about, when he decried how the internet has been transformed into the dangerous facilitator of totalitarianism.​..
    ​ Now, in this pandemic, a national security state is quickly morphing itself into a biosecurity state. Public health is weaponized by the authorities to advance their political agendas. With mainstream media fear-mongering and suppressing successful and early treatments of Covid, governments around the world uniformly engage in a global mass vaccination campaign.​ (There are gaps opening in the “uniformity”.)
    ​ ​The fight for free speech now intensifies with doctors and scientists being on the frontline of this battle. By risking jobs and professional licenses, whistleblowers inside medical institutions courageously come forward to uphold the public’s right to know.​..
    … Cardiologist and leading medical expert Dr. Peter McCullough recently criticized the U.S. government’s efforts to force vaccination on its citizens, saying that it “will go down as one of the most deadly, one of the most injurious and costly in human history.”​…
    ​ As the threat to human freedom increases, a man who gave us notice of what is now coming remains in prison, slowly dying. The Covid-19 crisis has hurt Assange immensely. Government imposed restrictions to stop the spread of the coronavirus made it difficult to hold normal court proceedings, and was used as an excuse by the UK government to deny the public access to the court. The extradition hearings took place within an almost total media blackout. Also, the lockdown in the Belmarsh prison restricted visitation from his family and made it almost impossible for Assange’s lawyers to meet their client and prepare their defense.​..
    ​ The struggle that we are now engaged in is not political. It is not left vs. right, or one nation against another. This is a battle of humans against the machine and it can be only won through each person’s defiance, united in solidarity with others to stand up for what it means to be human.
    ​ ​We have been told that we are at the Eleventh Hour. Now this is the Hour. This is humanity’s last stand and we are its only hope. If we fail to claim our own freedom, there will be no more resistance. The future of humanity depends on our uncompromising courage.

    The Safety of COVID-19 Vaccinations — Should We Rethink the Policy?
    Background: COVID-19 vaccines have had expedited reviews without sufficient safety data. We wanted to compare risks and benefits.
    Methods: We calculated the Number Needed to Vaccinate (NNTV) to prevent one death from a large Israeli field study. We accessed the Adverse Drug Reactions database of the Dutch National Register (Lareb) to extract the number of cases reporting severe side-effects and the number of cases reporting fatal side-effects. Results: The NNTV is between 200 and 700 to prevent one case of COVID-19 for the mRNA vaccine marketed by Pfizer. NNTV to prevent one death is between 9,000 and 100,000 (95% confidence interval), with 16,000 as a point estimate. We observed strong variability in the number of Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) per 100,000 vaccine doses across all EU member states. The estimate for the number of ICSRs per 100,000 vaccinations derived from the Lareb database was approximately 700. Among those, there were 16 serious ICSRs, and the number of ICSRs reporting fatal side-effects was at 4.11/100,000 vaccinations. Thus, for 6 (95% CI 2–11) deaths prevented by vaccination, there were approximately 4 deaths reported to Dutch Lareb that occurred after vaccination, yielding a potential risk/benefit ratio of 2:3.

    Tessa (Fights Robots) What Does The Word “Unv-d” Mean?
    Let me get to the heart of it. My policy research over the years makes me believe that, under the guise of COVID, we are being groomed to become life-term subscribers to “in-body artificial immunity as a service”—or an attempt at it anyway…
    ​ ​And, and… the artificial immunity thing is not just about COVID and boosters! The manufacturers are actively working on a number of adult v-es for every real and imaginary malaise there is and isn’t (including the literal plague). And, I believe, the intense emotional barrage around the COVID shot is designed to set a psychological and legal precedent for the creation of a captive market and for enforcing a subscription to “artificial immunity as a service.” From the COVID mandate, we are likely to move on to illnesses that have been up until now considered mundane, then to real and imaginary mental health issues, etc. etc.

    @Phoenix Voice, The most straightforward explanation would be a combination of COVID and “nasty summer cold” got into the group.
    I can’t tell the difference between them in clinic these days without a test, but the people who already had COVID all have negative tests so far.
    The only COVID repeats I have had have been on immunosuppressive drugs.
    Ivermectin helped both times on one of them.

    The Afghanistan Rout and American Glasnost, Dmitri Orlov (Russian: He went through a collapse. He recognizes the progression of conditions and events.)
    ​ ​The US occupation of Afghanistan was rationalized based on an entire edifice of lies. At its foundation lay the lie of Nineleven. Above it towered the lie of fighting terrorism (while training and equipping the terrorists). Somewhere along the way the lie of aiding Afghanistan’s development into a vibrant, modern democracy with gender equality and other bells and whistles was added to this already stupendous structure (while the only actual development was that of the heroin trade)…​ ​
    ​ ​And if you wish to be stubborn and refuse to believe the official narrative, then it becomes quite plausible to think that Nineleven was a lavish American hoax: that the three skyscrapers were mined by some Americans, that the Pentagon was hit by an American cruise missile fired by some more Americans and that Osama bin Laden was a CIA agent who made grainy videos and scratchy audiotapes to inspire America’s pet terrorists (branded Al Qaeda, later rebranded ISIS/ISIL/Daesh/Islamic Caliphate). Osama was looking forward to a comfortable retirement somewhere in friendly Pakistan—a retirement that was cut short by an attack by a group of navy seals some time after his death from kidney failure…​ ​
    ​ ​The plan was to have Afghani heroin ooze out all over the surrounding Eurasia by camel caravans traversing huge uninhabitable deserts, and some of this indeed happened, but it quickly turned out that there was more money to be made by airlifting it out using US military transport planes flying to Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo, which became the major heroin transshipment point. And so a lot of the heroin ended up in the US and in the EU, to a point where there are over 10 million opiate addicts in the US and deaths from opiate overdoses in the US alone amount to half a million a year and growing fast, with drug-related deaths the leading cause of death among the non-geriatrics. But it seems that these are just the opioid addicts who stand up to be counted, whereas opiate abuse is far more widespread and, judging from rapidly dropping overall life expectancy, quite severe…
    This hasty retreat signals, somewhere in the deep subconscious (because the realization is too painful) the end of the something-for-nothing economy on which the US has increasingly come to depend since Nixon took the US dollar off the gold standard 50 years ago. This disease may have been slow to develop, but it is chronic, incurable and invariably fatal. The 2021 US federal budget is $6.8 trillion and the budget deficit is $3 trillion, meaning that out of every dollar spent 44 cents are printed into existence. This is a hospice care-level dosage of financial morphine.
    At this point no amount of financial morphine will allow the American patient to arise from his bed, yank the IV from his arm and go and wreak even more havoc in the world, sowing fear and chaos. The fear and chaos are now right within the US itself. The $753.5 billion the US is spending on defense in 2021 is more than the next nine highest-spending countries spend combined, but it’s not enough to cause sufficient mayhem to scare the entire world into continuing to honor the US dollar in international trade or to invest in dollar-denominated assets; all that’s left is financial inertia and a bit of excitement around the world’s largest market bubble which the US federal reserve is desperately blowing.
    The Afghanistan Rout and American Glasnost’

    Pepe Escobar has more details about the Kabul Airport Bombing:
    ​ ​In parallel, it’s no secret among intel circles in Eurasia that ISIS-K has become disproportionally more powerful since 2020 because of a transportation ratline from Idlib, in Syria, to eastern Afghanistan, informally known in spook talk as Daesh Airlines.
    ​ ​Moscow and Tehran, even at very high diplomatic levels, have squarely blamed the U.S.-U.K. axis as the key facilitators. Even the BBC reported in late 2017 on hundreds of ISIS jihadis given safe passage out of Raqqa, and out of Syria, right in front of the Americans.
    ​T​he Kabul bombing took place after two very significant events.
    ​ ​The first one was Mujahid’s claim during an American NBC News interview earlier this week that there is “no proof” Osama bin Laden was behind 9/11 – an argument that I had already hinted was coming in this podcast the previous week.
    ​ ​This means the Taliban have already started a campaign to disconnect themselves from the “terrorist” label associated with 9/11. The next step may involve arguing that the execution of 9/11 was set up in Hamburg, the operational details coordinated from two apartments in New Jersey.
    Nothing to do with Afghans. And everything staying within the parameters of the official narrative – but that’s another immensely complicated story.​..
    ​ The other significant event tied to the Kabul bombing was that it took place only one day after yet another phone call between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
    ​ ​The Kremlin stressed the pair’s “readiness to step up efforts to combat threats of terrorism and drug trafficking coming from the territory of Afghanistan”; the “importance of establishing peace”; and “preventing the spread of instability to adjacent regions.”
    ​ ​And that led to the clincher: They jointly committed to “make the most of the potential” of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which was founded 20 years ago as the “Shanghai Five”, even before 9/11, to fight “terrorism, separatism and extremism.”
    ​ ​T​​he SCO summit is next month in Dushanbe – when Iran, most certainly, will be admitted as a full member. The Kabul bombing offers the SCO the opportunity to forcefully step up.

    The Flimsy Evidence Behind the CDC’s Push to Vaccinate Children​ Thanks Marc​ (How about no-shots?​)
    The agency overcounts Covid hospitalizations and deaths and won’t consider if one shot is sufficient.​ ​
    ​ ​My research team at Johns Hopkins worked with the nonprofit FAIR Health to analyze approximately 48,000 children under 18 diagnosed with Covid in health-insurance data from April to August 2020. Our report found a mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition such as leukemia.

    CHICAGO – A Chicago mother says a Cook County judge has taken away her parental rights after learning that she is not vaccinated against COVID-19. In what all parties agree is a very unusual and perhaps unprecedented step, a judge at Chicago’s Daley Center has stripped Rebecca Firlit of custody because she refuses to get a vaccination shot.

    ​Texas COVID cases topped out last week and are on the way down. Hospitalizations appear likely to peak this week or next.
    We should assume that deaths will rise for 3 more weeks.​

    Contaminant in over one million Moderna vaccine doses in Japan believed to be metal: NHK​ (1.6​3​ million)
    News of the contaminant could provide a fresh setback for Japan’s inoculation drive as it struggles to persuade many — particularly young people — to get vaccinated
    ​ ​NHK, in a report published late on Thursday, cited ministry sources as saying the particle reacted to magnets and was therefore suspected to be a metal. Moderna has described it as “particulate matter” that did not pose a safety or efficacy issue.​..
    ​ Another health ministry official said it would take “some time” to confirm how many shots from the contaminated batch had been administered in Japan. Kyodo News reported that at least 176,000 shots have been used based on its own tally of figures reported by municipalities.

    Moderna Vaccine Halted In Okinawa After Contamination From “Black Substances”
    ​ ​Three days after the Japanese Ministry of Health announced that they were pulling 1.6 million doses of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine due to contamination in some vials that ‘reacts to magnets’ and which led to the deaths of at least two men in their 30s who died after receiving their second dose of the Moderna vaccine, two prefectures have halted or limited its use after more contaminated vials were discovered, according to Japan’s public broadcaster, NHK, and The Korea Times, citing local reports.
    ​ ​The move comes as the Japanese health ministry said it’s investigating the August deaths of two men who received doses from tainted Moderna batches.

    Thanks: my parents said know.
    Also, you want as low a Kelvin and as high a CRI as you can get. Both have to do with the amount of blue light in the mix, which is the harsh component to your eyes.
    A higher Kelvin just means more blue light in the mix.
    A low color rendition index means that the blue is a big peak, not just a lot, but disproportionately more.
    LED headlights are a good example of the worst of both of those.
    Very blue and harsh, but boy are the “efficient”!

    Thanks to V.Arnold, Susmarie 108 and others who commented kindly about my being muted by the leader of my Buddhist meditation Sangha for saying “there are medicines that work against COVID and none of my patients has worsened after starting them”.
    This is the first time this has been so overt and forceful, and it followed faux-sympathy comments for those who died from COVID “not believing it existed”, recently. Partisan. I channeled love and light energy to them during the tlk which followed, and it likely helped. I have revisited this several times in my meditations since then.
    It is the secret-sauce.

    @Oroboros
    : I mostly agree with your simile of mainstream news being like white-noise for one trying to seek information these days. One can extract useful information from fairly deep in the noise floor, even just by listening down into a mostly-noise distant radio station.
    The simile improves with the substitution of “Pink Noise” for white-noise.

    January through June 2020 was just before delta hit the scene.

    From Yesterday’s comments:
    Thanks for the kind words, Dr.D.
    @My Parents said Know: The clinic officially is making COVID vaccination mandate “for the community good over the individual prerogative”. There is not actually a desire to do more than have good PR while following the narrative. Some would clearly prefer that this be unanimous, but are willing to forge ahead in political correctitude.
    What hurt more deeply was being shut down and muted by my Buddhist sangha leader this morning, when I offered the factual counterpoint to the narrative (schadenfreude, “poor people died thinking COVID wasn’t real”) several were putting forth in a kind-ish sort of way, by stating that the tragedy is that there are effective treatments, that I have prescribed to over 60 people, none of whom got worse or hospitalized. I was sternly told that “This is not the place for that kind of talk and opinion”.
    To say that there are treatments that work is too deeply disturbing of a political view for a medical doctor to voice in a Buddhist meditation group, when it followed the context of talking-about-poor-people-sick-and-dying-from-COVID (smugly).
    Then, during the Dharma talk, I generated love and compassion into their midst (heh, heh, heh…)

    Results SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well.

    It’s an unusual Saturday because we gathered for a family meeting to discuss plans and contingencies in the next few months. If the blame-the-unvaccinated narrative holds, it will be pretty wicked, and I will be fired, but it will be much more wicked than my patients losing my services.
    https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/08/weakening-evil.html

    The biggest weakness of TPTB is their cobbled-together narrative, which requires as much constant support as the New York Stock Exchange these days.

    I have concluded from early February 2020 that the weapon leaked from Fort Detrick, Maryland in early June 2019:
    https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/06/fort-detrick.html
    That is sort of by-the-way, but it sets a timeline for Event 201 in mid October, where governments of the world war-gameda coronavirus pandemic. At that same moment, the US military was attending the Wuhan Games, the first military olympics attended by the US military. Numerous players could not compete, due to a mysterious viral pneumonia that hospitalized some of them.

    Another consideration is that this was a SNAFU, not a planned release. there may well have been weaponized releases, such as the COVID pandemic hit Iran at that big funeral for (US assassinated) General Soleimani on January 7, 2020, but I don’t know.

    The implication is that this narrative is thrown together on the fly, making it more fragile. Monitoring social media with AI lets the narrative turn on a dime, and amplify “favorable” fear trends, but there are some turns it won’t be able to negotiate. I think we are entering one.
    Efforts applied earlier can be more effective. The earlier we call the vaccines making people sicker, the more minds will be lightly primed to notice it before some cover-up can be confabulated.

    It’s not that the current narrative is void of truth, but that it may be exactly wrong, that can be a wake-up call.

    This is not 100% certain to me. There is a specific mode of antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) of viral pathogenicity described here: https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/08/vaccines-help-delta.html
    A support of this hypothesis is provided, in Israeli cases going up, up , up, and UK cases and hospitalizations and deaths ramping up among the vaccinated, more than among the unvaccinated recently.
    Several trends in viral evolution to exploit host weaknesses are present. Some hosts are vaccinated with January 2020 alpha-COVID spike protein antibodies. Those are both (good) “Blocking antibodies” and (bad) “Enhancing antibodies”. There is a mixed cloud of helping, suppressing and ineffectually neutral antibodies as a viral host environment. Viral mutations that change the attack target of blocking antibodies are selected for. The viral mutants that are not affected will reproduce faster.
    We take for granted that viral mutations will “make the virus immune to the vaccine” if the vaccine remains the same for a long time.

    The worrisome feature is ADE, which occurred with all animal tests of coronavirus vaccines in the SARS and MERS period of scientific study. The vaccines worked in the test animals. They made antibodies. More of the vaccinated animals died when exposed to the viral challenge, than did unvaccinated animals… every time.
    It seems that a booster shot of Pfizer increases a waning benefit in the short term. That can only be the case while the blocking antibody effect exceeds the enhancing antibody effect, which will depend upon how long a viral strain has been mutating in this particular environment of vaccinated hosts. Some very successful strain will arise somewhere, and spread predominantly, due to escape from blocking antibody effects, and then, increasingly, from further mutations that exploit the helping hand of enhancing antibodies.
    This kind of progression has now been documented in a Vietnamese hospital, locked down for 2 weeks while a specific delta-COVID variant spread among the vaccinated hospital staff. It was distinct from what was in the community. It caused viral loads (number of viral particles per drop of snot) to be 251 times as high as what had been found a year and a half earlier, using the same techniques in the same area. The delta-COVID in the vaccinated had a whole lot more reproductive success than the alpha-COVID in unvaccinated people had in early 2020. https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/08/vaccine-diamond-princess.html

    Explain this clearly now, and the benefits of your words will be amplified as time unfolds.

    @Ilargi: You asked what happens when vaccine failure becomes so obvious that it’s obvious.
    That would be a fade-to-gray.
    What happens when the vaccinated get sicker than the unvaccinated, from antibody dependent enhancement of viral pathogenicity?
    That is far, far more dramatic of a betrayal.
    Maybe it won’t play out that way, but itlooks like the vaccines don’t fade to gray, because the ADE gets stronger than the viral blocking with time.
    The obvious enfd game is…
    NEWER, BETTER VACCINES, but they may not be able to keep up with the curve and hude it this time.
    I speculate. I may well be extrapolating wrong.

    https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/08/vaccine-diamond-princess.html

    A Vietnamese hospital had to lock down for 32 weeks with all staff in place, all fully vaccinated. A separate strain of delta-Covid was spreading through their ranks, and was different (sequencing done) from what was spreading outside those walls. The viral loads in their noses were 251 times as high as viral loads in early 2020 with alpha-COVID infections, measured by the same group. There are 2 differences, delta-Covid, and vaccination with alpha-spike-protein. If the vaccination is boosting this particular viral sub-strain, it will spread accordingly.
    ​ ​“This group had actually calculated viral load from oral and nasal secretions in the past. The viral load was 251 times that of the previous unvaccinated era where they had used the same methodology. So, they had previous workers and patients who had COVID-19 before any exposure to the vaccines. And now the vaccinated were carrying a massive viral load and passing it to one another.”

    Dr McCullough explains the viral load measurements performed the same way, comparing viral load in the nasopharyngeal space between unvaccinated people infected with alpha-COVID and vaccinated people infected with delta-COVID. It is a fair and valid comparison: McCullouhg has to keep speaking while he can. He is being sued by his medical school employer. Heroic.
