Only The Vaccinated Can Be Permitted To Transmit The Virus

VE has always been measured retrospectively — after the fact. Thus accurate or mostly accurate or at least somewhat accurate picture of a vaccine's effectiveness can be gleaned — based on historical data.

And NOT based on Estimates.

Some may notice that “fact checkers” that “debunk” the growing and obvious simple fact that moderna and pfizer may end up having VE = 0 — all rely on CDC “estimates” — even as what they are trying to smear and claim as “false” — was based on an MDs and/or scientists quoting from actual data — and checked by those actually skilled in the science of data.

The narrative fact checkers use estimates to smear actual scientific knowledge — results gleaned from actual, concrete research and data. So what happens, now that our zig zagging, hysterical CDC director Rochelle Walesnky has just confirmed that mRNA neovaccinoid effectiveness equals zero?

Walensky told CNN the covid shots, having failed to prevent the disease among those inoculated also cannot prevent transmission of the disease among those inoculated.

mRNA neovaccinoid effectiveness=zero...,

She prefaced this astonishing acknowledgment of the drugs’ failure with an even more astonishing fabrication: “Our vaccines are working exceptionally well!”

The CDC Director: “Our vaccines are working exceptionally well! They continue to work well for Delta with regard to severe illness and death, they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”

“They continue to work well for Delta with regard to severe illness and death” she said — but what does the data say?

Don’t expect CDC director to level with the American people on this essential matter.

Expect more tears and flapdoodle from her; it’s how she runs.

To date, I am able to locate CDC published information that says Delta is highly transmissible; and unable to locate CDC information demonstrating this variant causes “severe illness and death” — the CDC’s most recent information from an Aug. 6 published study is equivocal:

“Finally, differences in vaccination coverage in some of these populations might be an additional confounding factor when estimating crude VE at the county and state levels. VE studies with more rigorous methods and the power to estimate protection against severe outcomes are needed to better understand the potential impact of the Delta variant.”

Obvious question: how does “VE studies with more rigorous methods and the power to estimate protection against severe outcomes are needed to better understand the potential impact of the Delta variant”

Square with: the covid shots “continue to work well for Delta with regard to severe illness and death”.

Walensky made this claim on national TV — fully aware her own agency’s most recent information is actually claiming that “VE studies with more rigorous methods and the power to estimate protection against severe outcomes are needed to better understand the potential impact of the Delta variant.”

Another paper says the Delta “B.1.617.2 variant is highly transmissible in indoor sports settings and households, which might lead to increased attack rates.”

This paper, last updated July 16, also says, in conclusion: ” Finally, vaccine effectiveness could not be calculated because of an inability to interview all persons associated with the outbreak and incomplete state immunization registry data.”

To sum up. VE is supposed to be determined after the fact.

I Will Not Submit...,

off-guardian |  In New York City, California, Australia, etc., the people have permitted government such control over our daily lives that we have to ask it for permission to control our bodies, to move freely, to practice religion, to educate our children ourselves, to protest, etc.

Soon Biden, Trudeau, and other world leaders are going to clamp down on our ability to express ourselves and to associate with each other online so that we can no longer question, object to, or organize against government action. It is the destruction of democracy.

It astounds me that my Progressive friends — the same ones who claim to support “social justice” — are welcoming a fascist society in which government crushes any opposition and individuals cannot make choices about their own lives.

I will not comply because I do not want to live in the society that is being created by extraordinary submissiveness to government. I do not want to be complicit in this era’s atrocities.

What is the point of living if one merely exists to obey the elite to one’s own detriment? Is it even living if one lacks the agency to direct one’s life? I’ve already submitted in contradiction of my values to a shameful extent. One might say, “Well, what’s one more compromise,” but it won’t be just one more compromise. It will be just the next cut in a slow death by a thousand cuts.

Submitting only validates tyrannical displays of power and ensures that there will be more such displays in the future.

And what does one get for compromising? Merely your continued membership in a society that will only have you if you immolate yourself and become nothing more than a reflection of the desires of the ruling class.

If you cannot be truly yourself in a society, is that society worth clinging to? I think not. As much as leaving the stability of my comfort zone terrifies me, staying in it means continuing to silence and shrink myself for a disingenuous feeling of acceptance. In that way, it is more of a discomfort zone.

Each time I expressed my fears about the future direction of society, my friends said “it won’t happen.” Each time it did happen, they shrugged their shoulders and reminded me that compliance was an option.

At this point, if the government were to cart me away to an internment camp (which is not a completely far-fetched notion and which has happened in the past) for being a dangerous dissident I am certain that my friends and family would watch it happen and say it was my fault for not complying.

They are no longer capable of recognizing the humanity of the opposition or of questioning government.

Karen Says It's Time To "Round Up These Gottdayyum Spreadnecks!!!"

NYTimes |   Many vaccinated Americans are tired, disgusted and eager to assign blame. Public health experts and government officials, including some Republicans, have shifted from sensitive prodding to firm condemnation of those forgoing vaccination. Private conversations among the inoculated take an even less diplomatic turn: “We were so close, and these stupid, unvaccinated jerks ruined it for the rest of us.”

Fatigue and outrage are appropriate emotions, considering all that has been lost to Covid-19: lives, jobs, experiences, money, physical and mental health. But those feelings, if not properly channeled, can themselves take a heavy toll. What do we do with our anger?

I am a progressive woman who resides in a conservative state. I am on record in this fractured political era as a proponent of maintaining connection across gulfs of understanding, with the caveat that this civic burden falls to people whose social privileges allow them to engage safely with “the other side.” But seeking to understand dangerous behaviors and beliefs is quite different than permitting them. I myself, by many accounts an amiable person, once yelled at a truck stop full of unmasked people to read the sign on the goddamn door.

Fury — collective, generational, political, cultural, individual — is utterly familiar to me, more so than the happy serenity of my current life. I was a child in poverty during the 1980s “farm crisis,” when federal policies favoring big corporations devastated rural communities. Everywhere I turned, something was dying: the local grocery store, the family farm, the cancer victims whose water supply contained agricultural runoff. There was joy in my family, but there was also addiction, abuse and neglect that drew from a deep well of justifiable rage and sorrow.

Anger is a contagious energy that jumps quickly from one person to the next. It will seize your mind and body as its host. If allowed to explode, it will hurt others. If allowed to implode, it will hurt you. I had to learn early how to transmute it for the sake of my own survival. I found that it can be the source of a powerful alchemy. If we are up to the task, it could help us create something good together.

Our national conversation has reached the point where many Americans are done with any and all excuses offered by the unvaccinated. Some of the inoculated are not just self-righteous but downright venomous, arguing on social media that hospitals should refuse to admit unvaccinated Covid-19 patients, calling them trash and wishing them a painful death. Residents of blue America have pronounced this a red-America problem. “Our state did a great job fighting the pandemic,” one person tweeted. “Our reward? The mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers in adjacent red states flooded their hospitals and spilled over into ours.”

Old political resentments have found a new outlet in the fraught vaccine debate. “I’ve been pissed off since Reagan was elected,” another Twitter user quipped in a thread parsing the emotions of the vaccinated. Exhausted, despairing minds find comfort in turning complex realities into simple, opposing categories. The noble, upstanding vaccinated American and the selfish, stupid, unvaccinated one. The good liberal citizen and the far-right anti-vaxxer.

 

 

If The Agenda Was "Public Health" Would Fauci And Walensky Still Have Jobs?

technofog  |  While they say this is about health, it is clear that it is also political.

The press revels in condemning conservatives for not getting the vaccine. Self-loathing conservatives like David French say Evangelical vaccine hesitancy is a “spiritual problem.” Conservative governors – those with low COVID death rates in their states – are attacked for not doing enough to encourage vaccination.

Paul Krugman takes these arguments to the next level, arguing that conservatives seeking personal autonomy are really trying to preserve their white male Christian “privilege” while making minorities pay the price.

The government – including officials like Dr. Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins – must be happy with the blame-shifting. Just imagine their delight, after having potentially contributed to the creation of COVID-19, that the unvaccinated are now the accused.

Never one to miss a media appearance, Dr. Fauci is out there saying the unvaccinated are “propagating” the latest outbreak, that we need to “do something to get them to be vaccinated.” This duty that Dr. Fauci advances is the purported obligation to do something to protect others. (One has to ask whether millions of lives would have been saved had they followed this same duty with taxpayer dollars at Wuhan.)

We believe this is just the start. If persuasion has reached its limit (and there is evidence it has), then please, trust them at their word when they advocate restricting your rights and inflicting punishment if you remain unvaccinated.

And in considering the institutions of power setting their sights on the unvaccinated - those whose purported crime is of inaction - I leave you with the words of René Girard:

“The crowd tends toward persecution since the natural causes of what troubles it and transforms it into a turba cannot interest it. The crowd by definition seeks action but cannot affect natural causes. It therefore looks for an accessible cause that will appease its appetite for violence. Those who make up the crowd are always potential persecutors, for they dream of purging the community of the impure elements that corrupt it, the traitors who undermine it.”

Experimental NeoVaccinoids? Billions Of People? At The Same Time? Jawdropping Hubris...,

larrysanger  |  It is an objective, indisputable fact: never in the history of the world has there been a global push to administer an experimental medicine to all of humanity, billions of us, at the same time.

I want you to stop and reflect on that. Imagine the hubris it required both to carry out this plan and to propagandize the world to carry it out.

“Hubris?” you ask. “What do you mean?”

The Covid vaccines are experimental. The FDA has not approved them. Most vaccines require years to test and approve, in no small part because we want to make sure they don’t have dangerous long-term side effects, which they can have; the CDC has published a list of problems with selected approved vaccines. Many experimental vaccines never make it out of the experimental phase. CNN made similar points back when Trump was, wrongheadedly (I thought so at the time) pushing for rapid approval of the Covid vaccines. Of course, the mercurial news organization hastened to forget all that when the Biden administration decided rapid vaccine deployment was a good idea. They shouldn’t have: for all the good they certainly have done, physicians warn us that vaccines can be dangerous for some, and experimental vaccines are, naturally, even more so.

Again, my point is simple and absolutely factual. Again:

• experimental vaccine
• billions of people (over two billion)
• at the same time

You have to be willing to trust the welfare of billions of people not just to the honesty of our leaders and scientists—because things can go wrong for decent people. You must also trust their competence—and not just that, because competent people can make surprising, unforeseeable mistakes. You must also trust that we avoided the worst, that we dodged a bullet, and that they actually succeeded in making a more or less safe vaccine.

 

Governments Are Keenly Aware Of The Consequences Of Non-Sterilizing Vaccines

In a self-organizing economy, things can work together in a way that looks like a conspiracy. When there are not enough resources to go around, the world seems to turn into two warring factions. We are seeing this right now. I think you are seeing a tip of the true world situation. Looked at through one lens, the world looks like we will have a happy ever after situation, forever. Looked at through another lense, we look like we are on the edge of disaster. I am afraid the “edge of disaster” folks are correct. The “happily ever after” situation is the one favored by Main Street Media. Anyone who spends a lot of time reading Main Street Media will think that the opposite side is crazy conspiracy theorists.

I think we are running short of fossil fuels. Shut downs help the economy get along with less fossil fuel, especially oil. A local leader, when he or she makes a decision to shut down the economy, takes into account all of the considerations. Do local factories need to shut down, for lack of parts or for lack of orders? Is it becoming impossible to import enough oil for all needs? Are local people protesting about inadequate pensions and living conditions? A shutdown could help all of these problems at once.

 

The problem is inadequate resources to go around. Inadequate resources, though the laws of physics, lead to ever more wage and wealth disparity. When this happens, epidemics more easily take hold. The poor especially are vulnerable, because they tend to not eat well. This time, a group of influential individuals and the pharmaceutical industry decided to help the situation along in a way that would benefit themselves at the same time it reduces population. Some people might like this approach, but I find it objectionable.

 

Obviously governments know what they are doing …. they are aware of what happens when leaky vaccines are used during a pandemic…  So why?

 

COMPASSIONATE EXTINCTION PLAN (CEP)

 

1. Every country on the planet is on board with the Injections. Even Sweden. When have all countries aligned on any issue? Never.

 

2. Not a single MSM outlet is interviewing any of the expert dissenters – Yeadon, Bridle, Montagnier, Bossche etc… and the mainstream social media platforms are blocking them.

 

Why?

Conventional Oil peaked in 2005 http://www.euanmearns.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/C-Cdec141.png

Shale in 2018.

 

According to Rystad, the current resource replacement ratio for conventional resources is only 16 percent.

THE PERFECT STORM : The economy is a surplus energy equation, not a monetary one, and growth in output (and in the global population) since the Industrial Revolution has resulted from the harnessing of ever-greater quantities of energy. But the critical relationship between energy production and the energy cost of extraction is now deteriorating so rapidly that the economy as we have known it for more than two centuries is beginning to unravel https://ftalphaville-cdn.ft.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Perfect-Storm-LR.pdf

 

“The global economy was facing the worst collapse since the second world war as coronavirus began to strike in March, well before the height of the crisis, according to the latest Brookings-FT tracking index. “The index comes as the IMF prepares to hold virtual spring meetings this week, when it will release forecasts showing the deepest contraction for the global economy since the 1930s great depression. https://www.ft.com/content/9ac5eb8e-4167-4a54-9b39-dab48c29ac6c

 

The Fed is sharply increasing the amount of help it is providing to the financial system https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/23/fed-repo-overnight-operations-level-to-increase-to-120-billion.html Banks did not trust each other – similar situation when Lehman collapsed. 

Oil Gluts – do NOT indicate we have found more oil. We just pumped what’s left too fast.

 

Summary In 2019 a second Perfect Storm was approaching – the central banks had been doing ‘whatever it takes’ for over a decade…. Essentially nothing was off the table — throw the kitchen sink at pushing GFC2.0 into the future. In 2019 the guns were blazing but the beast was no longer held at bay…

 

What do you do when you are burning far more oil than you discover — and your efforts to offset the impact of expensive to produce oil push you to the edge of the cliff? You can accept your fate and allow the beast to shove you into the abyss…. Or you can take the ‘nuclear option’ and shut down as much of the economy as possible, preserve remaining oil and pump in trillions of dollars of life support to keep the system feebly alive.

 

Punchline: The problem global leaders face is that if you unleash the nuclear option without some sort of cover, the sheeple and the markets would be thrown into a panic and you risk blowing things up prematurely. So you need a reason for putting the global economy on ice — one that does not spook the masses – one that is big enough to justify such epic amounts of stimulus and extreme policies — and one that allows you to explain ‘this is just temporary – once this is gone — we will get back to normal’

 

A pandemic is the perfect cover.

 

End Game – Covid was foisted on us as cover for the response to peak oil (if we don’t slow the burn oil prices go through the roof and we collapse) but it is also being used to convince billions to be Injected. The Injection is meant to cause extremely deadly variants like this .. only worse because we are deploying into a pandemic so everyone dies https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/tthis-chicken-vaccine-makes-virus-dangerous.

 

The reason for this is that 8B people need cheap oil to live. They would starve without it. And 8B people without food would result in epic starvation, violence, rape and cannibalism. Industrial civilization ends soon after peak oil. Unfortunately we also have 4000 spent fuel ponds that will boil off and release toxic substances for centuries. These facilities cannot be controlled with computers and energy. So even the subsistence level humans die as they consume these toxins in the food, air and water.

 

The PTB understand all of this and that is WHY every leader is on board with the Injections. There is NO way out of this — so they have decided to mitigate the suffering as much as possible by putting us down and here is the mechanism https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/post/why-the-ongoing-mass-vaccination-experiment-drives-a-rapid-evolutionary-response-of-sars-cov-2.

mRNA Neo-Vaccinoids Don't Work As Promised But Exactly As Intended...,

ourfiniteworld |   [9] The public has been led to believe that vaccines are the only solution to COVID-19 when, in fact, they are at best a very poor and temporary band-aid.

Vaccines are a tempting solution because the benefits have been oversold and no one has explained how poorly today’s leaky vaccines really work.

We are already past the period when these vaccines were well matched with the viruses they were aimed at. Now we are in a situation in which the viruses are constantly mutating, and the vaccines need to be updated. The catch is that the variants stick around for such a short time period that by the time the vaccine is updated, there is likely to be yet another new variant that the new vaccine does not really match up with well.

Requirements that employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 cannot be expected to provide much benefit to employers because workers will still be out sick with COVID-19. This happens because they are likely to catch a variant such as Delta, which does not line up with the original vaccine. Perhaps they will be out for a shorter period, and their hospital bills will be lower. These types of benefits are what people have expected of influenza vaccines. There is no reason for them to expect more of the new COVID-19 vaccines.

Even with 100% vaccination herd immunity can never be reached because the vaccine encourages the virus to mutate into more virulent forms. Each new variant stays around for only a few months, making it hard for vaccine makers to keep up with the changing nature of the problem. Vaccine makers can expect to face a constant battle in having to run to stay even. Someone will have to convince citizens that each new vaccine makes sense, even though injuries reported to the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System seem to be much more frequent than those reported for vaccines for other diseases.

An erroneous, one-sided story is being told to the general public, in part because the pharmaceutical lobby is incredibly powerful. It has the support of influential people, such as Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates. The pharmaceutical industry can make billions of dollars in income from the sale of vaccines, with little in the way of sales expenses. The industry has managed to convince people that it is OK to sell these vaccines, even though injury rates are very high compared to those for vaccines in general.

Vaccines are being pushed in large part because the pharmaceutical industry needs a money maker. It also wants to be seen as having cutting-edge technology, so young people will be attracted to the field. It cannot admit to anyone that technologies from decades ago would perhaps work better to solve the COVID-19 problem.

[10] The pharmaceutical industry has been telling the world that inexpensive drugs can’t fix our problem. However, there are several low-cost drugs that appear helpful.

One drug that is being overlooked is ivermectin, which was discovered in the late 1970s. It was originally introduced as a veterinary drug to cure parasitic infections in animals. In the U. S., ivermectin has been used since 1987 for eliminating parasites such as ringworm in humans. Ivermectin seems to cure COVID-19 in humans, but it needs a higher dosage than has been previously approved. Also, it would not be a money maker for the pharmaceutical industry.

The possible use of ivermectin to cure COVID-19 seems to have been intentionally hidden. At approximately 32:45 in this linked video, Dr. David Martin explains how Moderna announced ivermectin’s utility in treating SARS (which is closely related to SARS-CoV-2) in its 2016-2018 patent modification related to the SARS virus. It sounds as though Moderna (and others) have participated both in developing harmful viruses and in developing vaccines to cure very closely related viruses. They then work to prevent the sale of cheap drugs that might reduce their sales of vaccines. This seems unconscionable.

Vitamin D, in high enough doses, taken well before exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19, seems to lead to reduced severity of the disease, and may eliminate some cases completely.

Various steroid drugs are often used in the later stages of COVID-19, when conditions warrant it. The medical community seems to have no difficulty with these.

Monoclonal antibodies are also used in the treatment of COVID-19, but they are much more expensive.

[11] Conclusion. Governments, businesses, and citizens need to understand that today’s vaccines are not really solutions to our COVID-19 problem. At the same time, they need better solutions.

Current vaccines have been badly oversold. They can be expected to make the mutation problem worse, and they don’t stop the spread of variants. Instead, we need to start quickly to make ivermectin and other inexpensive drugs available through healthcare systems. People do need some sort of solution to the problem of COVID-19 illnesses; it just turns out that the current vaccines work so poorly that they probably should not be part of the solution.

The whole idea of vaccine passports is absurd. Even with the vaccine, people will catch the new COVID-19 variants, and they will pass them on to others. Perhaps they may get lighter symptoms, so that they will be off work for a shorter length of time, but there still will be disruption. If those who catch COVID-19 can instead take ivermectin at a high enough dose at the first sign of illness, many (or most) of them can get well in a few days and avoid hospitalization completely. Other medications may be helpful as well.

I am skeptical that masks can do any good with the high level of transmission of Delta. But at least masks aren’t very harmful. We probably need to go along with what is requested by officials.

It is becoming clear that today’s pharmaceutical industry is far too powerful. Investigations need to be made into the large number of allegations against it and its leaders. Why did members of the pharmaceutical industry find it necessary to patent viruses, and then later sell vaccines for a virus closely related to the viruses it had patented?

Post WW-2 The U.S. Has Never Produced As Much Oil As It Consumes

ourfiniteworld |  [4] More doubts are being raised about quickly finding a vaccine that prevents COVID-19. 

The public would like to think that a vaccine solution is right around the corner. Vaccine promoters such as Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates would like to encourage this belief. Unfortunately, there are quite a few obstacles to getting a vaccine that actually works for any length of time:

(a) Antibodies for coronaviruses tend not to stay around for very long. A recent study suggests that even as soon as eight weeks, a significant share of COVID-19 patients (40% of those without symptoms; 12.9% of those with symptoms) had lost all immunity. A vaccine will likely face this same challenge.

(b) Vaccines may not work against mutations. Beijing is now fighting a new version of COVID-19 that seems to have been imported from Europe in food. Early indications are that people who caught the original Wuhan version of the COVID-19 virus will not be immune to the mutated version imported from Europe.

Vaccines that are currently under development use the Wuhan version of the virus. The catch is that the version of COVID-19 now circulating in the United States, Europe and perhaps elsewhere is mostly not the Wuhan type.

(c) There is a real concern that a vaccine against one version of COVID-19 will make a person’s response to a mutation of COVID-19 worse, rather than better. It has been known for many years that Dengue Fever has this characteristic; it is one of the reasons that there is no vaccine for Dengue Fever. The earlier SARS virus (which is closely related to the COVID-19 virus) has this same issue. Preliminary analysis suggests that the virus causing COVID-19 seems to have this characteristic, as well.

In sum, getting a vaccine that actually works against COVID-19 is likely to be a huge challenge. Instead of expecting a silver bullet in the form of a COVID-19 vaccine, we probably need to be looking for a lot of silver bee-bees that will hold down the impact of the illness. Hopefully, COVID-19 will someday disappear on its own, but we have no assurance of this outcome.

[5] The basic underlying issue that the world economy faces is overshoot, caused by too high a population relative to underlying resources.

When an economy is in overshoot, the big danger is collapse. The characteristics of overshoot leading to collapse include the following:

• Very great wage disparity; too many people are very poor
• Declining health, often due to poor nutrition, making people vulnerable to epidemics
• Increasing use of debt, to make up for inadequate wages and profits
• Falling commodity prices because too few people can afford these commodities and goods made from these commodities
• Gluts of commodities, causing farmers to plow under crops and oil to be put into storage

Thus, pandemics are very much to be expected when an economy is in overshoot.

One example of collapse is that following the Black Death (1348-1350) epidemic in Europe. The collapse killed 60% of Europe’s population and dropped Britain’s population from close to 5 million to about 2 million.

Boston Mayor Kim Janey Says "Don't Let These Covid-21 Slave Catchers Catch YOU!!!"

wcvb |  Boston's mayor said she wants to encourage people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 but compared the idea of requiring vaccine passports to several unsavory parts of American history.

NewsCenter 5's Sharman Sacchetti posed the question to Mayor Kim Janey Tuesday, after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that proof of COVID-19 vaccination will soon be required for entering restaurants, gyms and indoor venues.

The new requirement, which will be phased in over several weeks in August and September, is the most aggressive step New York has taken yet to curb a surge in cases caused by the delta variant. People will have to show proof that they have had at least one dose of a vaccine.

"The goal here is to convince everyone that this is the time," de Blasio said. "If we’re going to stop the delta variant, the time is now. And that means getting vaccinated right now."

When Janey was asked for her opinion on the idea, she expressed that her administration wants to encourage vaccination but did not explicitly say whether she would consider implementing a similar policy.

"We want to make sure that we are giving every opportunity for folks to get vaccinated. When it comes to what businesses may choose to do, we know that those types of things are difficult to enforce when it comes to vaccine," Janey said. 

She went on to compare vaccine passports or credentials to documentation requirements during slavery and the Jim Crow era. Janey also drew a comparison to the so-called birtherism conspiracy theory.

"There's a long history in this country of people needing to show their papers," said Janey. "During slavery, post-slavery, as recent as you know what immigrant population has to go through here. We heard Trump with the birth certificate nonsense. Here we want to make sure that we are not doing anything that would further create a barrier for residents of Boston or disproportionally impact BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) communities."

She continued, "Instead, you want to lean in heavily with partnering with community organizations, making sure that everyone has access to the lifesaving vaccine. As it relates to people who want to encourage their workforce to get vaccinated. We certainly support that."

Janey became the first Black and first woman to serve as mayor of Boston after Marty Walsh left to become U.S. Secretary of Labor. She is currently running for a full term.

The mayor's remarks drew the scorn of other candidates.

 

Sen. Rand Paul Issues The Call To Resist - "Choose Freedom!!!"

foxnews |  Resist. 

They can’t arrest us all. They can’t keep all your kids home from school. They can’t keep every government building closed – although I’ve got a long list of ones they should.

We don’t have to accept the mandates, lockdowns, and harmful policies of the petty tyrants and feckless bureaucrats. We can simply say no, not again. 

Speaker Nancy Pelosi — you will not arrest or stop me or anyone on my staff from doing our jobs. We have all either had COVID, had the vaccine, or been offered the vaccine. We will make our own health choices. We will not show you a passport, we will not wear a mask, we will not be forced into random screening and testing so you can continue your drunk with power rein over the Capitol. 

President Biden — we will not accept your agencies’ mandates or your reported moves toward a lockdown. No one should follow the CDC’s anti-science mask mandates. And if you want to shutdown federal agencies again — some of which aren’t even back to work fully — I will stop every bill coming through the Senate with an amendment to cut their funding if they don’t come to work. 

No more.

Local bureaucrats and union bosses — we will not allow you to do more harm to our children again this year. Children are not at any more risk from COVID than they are for the seasonal flu. Every adult who works in schools has either had the vaccine or had their chance to. There is no reason for mask mandates, part time schools, or any lockdown measures.

BIDEN SAYS AMERICANS SHOULD EXPECT MORE COVID RESTRICTIONS

Children are falling behind in school, and are being harmed physically and psychologically by the tactics you have used to keep them from the classroom last year. We won’t allow it again.

 

CDC Not Counting Vaccine Breakthrough Cases, So How They Know These Workers Were Unvaccinated?

NYTimes |  In late spring, the 142 nursing homes operated by the Good Samaritan Society hit a milestone that was unthinkable just four months earlier: Zero cases of Covid-19 across the whole company, from 900 at the peak of the pandemic.

The relief was short-lived.

The case count has ticked up again: It’s still below 100 among residents and staff, the company said, but includes many breakthrough cases of vaccinated residents testing positive. Then last week, two vaccinated residents died with Covid at the Good Samaritan Society-Deuel County nursing home in Clear Lake, South Dakota.

The company said it had pinpointed the cause of the spread there and at other of its facilities: The breakthroughs had happened in the same homes where unvaccinated staff were testing positive, seemingly carrying the virus into the home from the community.

“We fought this virus, and we were winning with the vaccine,” said Randy Bury, chief executive of the Good Samaritan Society, a nonprofit chain that operates in 24 states.

Late last month, the company became one of the largest long-term care chains in the country to order mandatory vaccines for staff, highlighting turmoil within an industry desperate to avoid a repeat of the devastation that swept through this highly vulnerable population.

After sharp drops in infections over the last several months, the number of Covid cases among U.S. nursing-home residents and staff roughly tripled from the week of July 4 to the week ending July 25, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency’s data show that cases of Covid among residents had risen to 1,312, the highest figure reported since early March.

About 133,000 nursing home residents died of Covid over the course of the pandemic, although the death rate has plummeted in recent months with more than 80 percent of residents now vaccinated. Overall, Covid deaths among nursing home residents and staff members accounted for nearly one-third of the nation’s pandemic fatalities.

Growing calls for vaccine mandates among health care workers have gained urgency but also met resistance in the nursing home industry, where some homes say it will cost them staff members in an industry already plagued with high turnover. Only about 60 percent of nursing home staff members are vaccinated, and some states report an even lower rate, with less than half inoculated, according to the most recent government data.

As of the week ending July 25, Covid cases among nursing home staff members nationwide were also climbing, to 2,145, according to the C.D.C. data.

 

The "Vaccines" Don't Work...,

TAE  |  For some obscure reason we have accepted the idea that we can do no risk stratification, that everyone is at equal risk, and therefore everyone should undergo the same treatment. And then we find out that this treatment doesn’t work, or only half, or only for a few months, etc. But you can be sure insurance companies are still doing risk stratification, also for Covid, it’s how they make a profit.

We find the vaccine is not a vaccine, but a therapeutic. An untested one at that. While we could have focused on prevention, either for everyone or just for the vulnerable, and early treatment for early victims. As 80% of people were never at risk at all and 80% have already been infected and survived.

There are plenty ways to do prevention and we have discarded them all, in favor for a treatment that now turns against us. That is to say, the vaccine makes the virus more, not less, dangerous. It’s not the unvaccinated that are the pool the virus mutates in, it’s the vaccinated.

And it’s not only the mutations. All Covid therapeutics used in the west induce the vaccinees’ body to produce spike proteins, which are toxic to the body. Initially, it was claimed that they would stay near the site of injection, but we soon found that they spread through the entire body, and assemble especially in the most vulnerable spots: lungs, testes, placenta etc.

And that’s not all either: we now see suspicions that the spike proteins remain active in the body, and continue to be produced inside the body, for much longer than we were told they would be. An as yet unpublished report will claim that they have been found five months after injection, instead of mere days. The potential consequences would be much more disastrous than the virus.

 

 

And wouldn’t you know, the moment we find out from the CDC itself that the vaccines don’t work, that same CDC clamors for more vaccinations, and all the usual suspects in the media and politics and “expertise” chime in. Everyone vaccinated now or we’ll take your jobs away, and all of your fun. Children, no matter how young, must be jabbed, even pregnant women. This therapeutic we never really tested is perfectly safe for your unborn child!

Without a jab, you’re a lethal danger to everyone who’s been vaccinated!

Well, actually, I am not, and thanks to the CDC now I can prove it.

The other way around, though, I’m not so sure.

Vaccine Effectiveness - The Israeli Data Is Ominous At This Time

“Vaccine efficacy and vaccine effectiveness measure the proportionate reduction in cases among vaccinated persons. Vaccine efficacy is used when a study is carried out under ideal conditions, for example, during a clinical trial. Vaccine effectiveness is used when a study is carried out under typical field (that is, less than perfectly controlled) conditions.” according to the CDC.

 

With our warped medical leaders, politicians, pharma-profiteers and big media now feeding us “Delta Variant” swill as if we were caged pigs, a few things may be of use to better frame our perspectives and understandings on this, —the latest CDC etc. Narrative Operation.

 

Israel is now reporting Vaccine Effectiveness for covid shots at 39%-40%.

 

Haaretz, quoting Israel’s director of public health services, Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, has her stating [dateline Aug. 1, 2021]: “Previously we thought that fully vaccinated individuals are protected, but we now see that vaccine effectiveness is roughly 40 percent.”

 

Alroy-Preis stated fully half, or 50% of the current infections in Israel are among those fully vaccinated.

 

And she told Haaretz: “we see a drop in the vaccine effectiveness against disease for those who have been vaccinated early on, and we see it for both elderly people over the age of 60 but also for the younger.”

 

This means that the claimed ~40% VE is in fact going down as she speaks.

 

What will the actual VE end up being?

 

During a March 2021 interview with France 24, Alroy-Preis said 80 percent in that country eligible were already vaccinated against Covid-19 — claiming: “You can get to a point in this pandemic where you open sectors and the disease goes down.”

 

Her March claims, along with her credibility have gone up in smoke as the Zionist Entity begins more draconian lockdowns etc. in a matter of days.

 

And we also have more fantasy, masquerading as science from New England Journal of Medicine, dateline July 21, 2021.

 

This NEJM work on behalf of big pharma — and not on our behalf at all — has been recently used to create the illusion that covax VE can do what has never been, regarding influenza vax’.

 

“With the BNT162b2 vaccine, the effectiveness of two doses was 93.7%” NEJM says, and also states: “88.0% (95% CI, 85.3 to 90.1) among those with the delta variant.”

 

This is hyped at top of this paper, in third paragraph under results.

 

Fourth paragraph: “This finding would support efforts to maximize vaccine uptake with two doses among vulnerable populations. (Funded by Public Health England.)”

 

Way down,
27th paragraph: “The numbers of cases and follow-up periods are currently insufficient for the estimation of vaccine effectiveness against severe disease, including hospitalization and death.”

 

Here is the NEJM, publishing a paper titled, “Effectiveness of Covid-19 Vaccines against the B.1.617.2 (Delta) Variant” — and none of the 12 authors, plus “et al.” — none of them had the skill set to recognize they are violating the VE definition!

 

“Vaccine efficacy/effectiveness (VE) is measured by calculating the risk of disease among vaccinated and unvaccinated persons and determining the percentage reduction in risk of disease among vaccinated persons relative to unvaccinated persons.”

 

VE includes measuring against disease — whether mild, moderate, severe, and deadly.

 

And this, published in NEJM!?!

 

Be that as it may, prior to March 2020, it was widely accepted: that 40% VE was “OK” for the CDC — even as they for decades claimed they wanted at least 90%.

 

When the drug pushers claimed with zero evidence in November, in concordance with the Emergency Use Authorizations for Moderna and Pfizer, they were claiming the impossible, at least, what has always been impossible: any VE better than 50% for influenza vaccination’.

 

It was ON PURPOSE the medical charlatans and vaccine fanatics in charge of this criminal operation pretended not to know the obvious about VE.

 

These false expectations of 90% and higher for covid shots — the “experts” all knew all along this was myth, a fairy tale — their science fiction posing as scientific knowledge. . . and the false expectations they created obviously totally inappropriate: and now they are stuck in their own contradictions. [But they got their EUA, and got to pillage the lands far and wide with their experimental poison, now appearing to be creating potential catastrophe. As we will see below, this is exactly what the CDC is now saying; however, they are not stating this obviousness in a rational and coherent manner. Rather, in a way that in effect blames us for it. But what else is new?]

 

The gaslighting continues.

 

This CDC graph shows last 11 years of VE: 43% average VE, for influenza.

 

And depending on the type of flu — it was completely worthless during 2018/2019 flu season for those aged 9 – 49 years old: EV = 3%, for H3N2, that season.

 

And those 50-64: zero VE.

 

The 40% VE rate [and dropping] that Israel is now reporting would have been considered normal — unacceptable, yes; normal, also yes.

 

Googling “Vaccine Effectiveness” and covid VE, you won’t find anything, in US, on this essential matter — though our dear CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is ‘weighing in’:

 

“The largest concern that I think we in public health and sciences are worried about is that virus and potential mutations. . . the potential to evade our vaccine in terms of how it protects us from severe disease and death,” Walensky said last week.

 

“Right now, fortunately, we are not there. These vaccines operate really well in protecting us from severe disease and death,” she said. “But the big concern is the next area that might emerge, just a few mutations potentially away, could potentially evade our vaccines,” the CDC director said.

In other words: VE = 0 . . . . Zero vaccine effectiveness. 

 

This is the kernel of the on-purpose-created mass confusion, of which Walensky is directly complicit.

 

Vaccines unable to prevent disease spread are worthless.

 

As Dr. Meryl Nass, MD, put it: “This is called community spread, and when you cannot identify where the virus was picked up, and you refuse to treat contacts with effective post-exposure drugs, then Track and Trace is simply an expensive, bad joke.”

 

And worse, the CDC director is trying to pretend she and her agency don’t know where the spread is originating!

 

“In an unvaccinated person, the virus does not encounter the same evolutionary pressure to mutate into something stronger. So, if SARS-CoV-2 does end up mutating into more lethal strains, then mass vaccination is the most likely driver,” he said.

 

To sum up, what the science fiction likes of Walensky et al. are trying to obscure is that the overall VE for covid shots may end up being as bad as the 2018/2019 influenza season.

 

Overall VE is how the CDC has always reported VE; and they would also break that down to subset by the different influenza strains and clades as need be.

 

“Delta” is part of the “novel” corona subset. We’ll see what the data says — someday.

Why Hasn't Sweden Suffered A National Paroxysm Of Covid Induced MegaDeath?

aier |  Since the Covid pandemic broke out, Sweden has been fought over more than any other part of Europe since Germany in the 30 Years War. In refusing to use an iron fist to control a virus, lockdown advocates claimed it was either committing murder or suicide; choose your favorite metaphor. Relatively few such as me, in three separate articles, claimed the Nordic country was sparing both the economy and something called “liberty” with its light-handed approach. My favorite title (editor chose it): “Media Enraged That More Swedes Aren’t Dying.”

Thus last year we saw such headlines as CNN’s “Deaths Soar In Country That Didn’t Lock Down. Officials Identify Big Reason Why.” Around the same time “Sweden Steadfast In Strategy As Virus Toll Continues Rising,” claimed another source. “Sweden’s Coronavirus Strategy Drives Up Infection Rate,” screamed the BBC. Everyone was playing pile-on. “Sweden Has The Highest Daily Coronavirus Death Rate In The World – And It’s Getting Worse.” That’s from Yahoo Sports. Sports?

Modelers desperately tried to scare Sweden into locking down. One predicted an incredible median of 96,000 deaths, with a maximum of 183,000. At Sweden’s Lund University an academic used the parameters in the now-infamous Neil Ferguson/Imperial College model to warn that it meant 85,000 deaths for Sweden. An Uppsala University team also found the nation paying a terrible price with 40,000 Covid-19 deaths by May 1, 2020 and almost 100,000 by June. 

Total Swedish Covid deaths at this writing: 14,651.

It’s not that Sweden did nothing – but very little. “From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Health Agency . . . embarked on a de-facto herd immunity approach, allowing community transmission to occur relatively unchecked,” declared a scathing editorial in the leftwing medical journal The Lancet last December. “No mandatory measures were taken to limit crowds on public transport, in shopping malls, or in other crowded places,” it said. “Coronavirus testing, contact tracing, source identification, and reporting, as recommended by WHO, were limited and remain inadequate.” High schools closed temporarily, but grade schools never.

“In our view,” snarled The Lancet, “there is still not sufficient recognition in the national strategy of the importance of pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission, aerosol transmission, and use of face masks.”

Time to revisit Sweden as much of the world starts locking down and masking again regardless of vaccination levels, blaming the Delta variant. And those impudent Swedes are pretty much refusing to die of Covid at all.

I've Reached The End Of My Patience With Consensus Delusion And Nonsense...,

We are dealing with human beings – sometimes at the very worst moments of their lives. – truth is the very foundation of what we do. Without it, everything will come crashing down. I have literally thousands of former students, interns, and residents on forums that I keep up with often. They are some of the leaders of this profession. They are located in every corner of this country. It is through them that I have been able to keep a pulse on what is going on medically in this country. And it is through them that I realized early on in this pandemic that all was not as it was being presented. Fear mongering, lying, panic and hysteria were rapidly becoming the order of the day. Absolute mistruths were being told to the American people. Numbers and figures were being quoted completely out of context and historical perspective to scare people to death. More importantly, critical issues about the virus and the disease it causes were not being discussed at all. For example, as was true then and is true now, the overwhelming risk factors for bad outcomes are old age and poor health habits such as obesity, inactivity, and immunocompromised status. That was true at the beginning and is most certainly true now. But to this day, and especially since the vaccine push started, we hear ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about this from our officials. And I saw absolutely no one in the media lifting a finger to do a thing about it; rather, they were happy participants in the whole affair.

I am not now nor have ever been an investigative journalist. But I am a foot soldier on the ground and I have been trained by the best to make observations, to think of possible hypotheses to explain them, to look for critical evidence to support or falsify hypotheses, and to act accordingly. That is the very essence of the scientific method. It was hammered into my brain as a young physician in the AIDS wards, when we literally had no idea what we were doing for years on end. We had to learn to let that method flow through our veins in order to do the best we could do for patients while our whole profession was trying to figure AIDS out. And that experience was critical for me when this whole thing started. I could see that my patients were getting a horribly warped view of the whole situation, so I decided all those months ago to start putting my observations on here as comments. I have then shared with everyone hypotheses that a rational scientist/medical doctor would come to, and how I was going about falsifying or supporting them. Some of the thoughts have been critically wrong, and I have endeavored always to make sure all know that. Many of them have stood up over time. Everything I have done or said in these comments has been in good faith. I view this group of commenters as my very own.

But now, my friends, we have reached a critical juncture in this entire situation. As has always been the case in human endeavor, when you start down the road of lies, it will be no time before you have painted yourself into a corner. And that is where the medical establishment finds itself today. Along with the elite/political establishment that prodded, aided, and abetted every step of the way. This is all about to blow up in their face and they are acutely aware of that. They have two choices, admit their mistakes, ask for forgiveness and understanding, and begin the rectification process OR double down.

It is very clear to me that the elite have decided to double down. The FSMB proclamation is just but one part of doubling down. I will bring your attention to a few other things this weekend that are emblematic of the current elite thinking – The Brooks & Dionne sequence from PBS Newshour on Friday night – We have two commenters – one ostensibly from the Right – and one from the Left. Both have clearly agreed that it is high time to get nasty on the deplorables refusing to get vaccinated. There is not a comment made about all the facts that have come to light this past week – as in all the breakthrough cases, as in all the vaccinated positive patients being just as likely to transmit as the unvaccinated. I am going to make an argument right now – GIVEN WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW ABOUT THESE VACCINES, WHAT EXACT PURPOSE IS BEING SERVED IN A PUBLIC HEALTH PERSPECTIVE OF FORCING THESE VACCINES ON EVERYONE? There is certainly no longer evidence that it is any safer to be in a crowded grocery store with vaccinated or unvaccinated patients. As for individual risk, I have been on my knees for months literally begging all of my high risk patients to get vaccinated. My contacts are telling me that the overwhelming vast majority of the ill in the hospitals are in these same high risk groups – OBESE DIABETIC and IMMUNOCOMPROMISED. 25 year old jocks are not in that high risk group. Outside of vaccinating every single soul that is high risk, given what we know now, what is the purpose of vaccinating every single human?

FSMB or anyone else – that is a scientific argument, based on observations and facts – please I am all ears, tell me what is wrong with that argument? Please present your own observations and facts.

Please look at the Bill Maher show on Friday when he had his roundtable. I cannot find a video of this. He had the US Rep from the Virgin Islands. And some guy who was the very essence of the elite PMC. They got around to vaccine hesitancy among blacks – and he blamed it on Tuskegee. The US Rep from the Virgin Islands was like – NOT SO FAST. THAT WAS GENERATIONS AGO. THAT IS NOT REALLY ALL THAT APPLICABLE HERE. THE PROBLEM IS THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY HAVE NO FAITH IN THE GOVERNMENT TO DO THE RIGHT THING. And I looked at my wife and said – PREACH IT SISTER. That is a woman who is in touch with her constituents and knows what she is talking about. I would add the following – the same exact thing is true of the majority of the Bubbas out there that are being denigrated all day by the press – THEY HAVE NO FAITH IN THE GOVERNMENT TO DO THE RIGHT THING – WHY WOULD THEY???? It has been my contention all along that Blacks and Working Class Whites have so much in common. Maybe the upcoming turmoil will make them all realize that. The best however was the PMC guy.

Mr. Maher and I are obviously marinating in the same cultural stew. After going on for a while about Bubbas and Blacks, Maher made the point that another group of vaccine holdouts were the pristine body, man bun Bernie Bros. THE PMC guy did not even acknowledge the comment. Maher said it again. And again the PMC guy was literally dumbstruck. Never had entered his mind. Maher, seeing it was hopeless moved on. THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MARINATING IN THEIR OWN NARRATIVE FOR SO LONG THEY HAVE NOT A CLUE WHAT IS REALITY. It is clear they have all convinced themselves that enforced vaccine mandates are such a great idea. Why, there will be no consequences, everyone will just buckle under. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT FIRE THEY ARE PLAYING WITH. I have been hearing from multiple contacts all over the country that the mass resignations in health care are just beginning. It is not the RNs and MDs. Nope it is the CNAs the front desk people, the housekeeping. They are just walking off the job – going over to the Piggly Wiggly or Kroger and getting more money and less bull shit from the boss. It is happening among police, firemen, teachers and other workers as well. WHAT KIND OF MORONS WOULD DO THESE MANDATES IN THIS ECONOMY? THEY ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH. And again, the reason for mass vaccination for public health has literally fallen apart with the evidence coming out the past few days. WHAT PURPOSE DOES IT SERVE FROM A PUBLIC HEALTH STANDPOINT TO VACCINATE THE ENTIRE POPULATION WITH A NON-STERILIZING VACCINE?

Again, FSMB and any others, that is an argument based on observation and evidence…. Please address the argument with your own observations and evidence and let’s talk. I am all ears.

Thirdly – this little chestnut from Andrew Sullivan If you read his substack entries from early this year, several times he writes that very soon, as in this summer right now, we will be living in the Roaring 20s again. COVID will be over. All his elite friends were telling him that. Imagine his surprise when the event in the town he was in for the summer popped the lid off the narrative. Because of the incompetence of our press, there is no real reporting about how many “bears” were actually involved. I, however, have taken care of a lot of “bears” in my life. Obesity, glucose intolerance/diabetes, and sedentary lifestyles are very common in this group. As is fitting with the truth of this whole pandemic, those are all critical risk factors for bad COVID. What a perfect opportunity for the press or medical establishment to hammer this point home with this group of folks that have fallen ill. NOT A PEEP. Could that lifestyle choice be a reason why so many of them, vaccinated or not, fell ill? How many “bears” were actually involved in getting ill? And is so fitting of the whole elite attitude, Mr. Sullivan’s impulse is to blame the unvaccinated – and “let it rip”. He looks right through the habits of his friends and blames the unvaccinated for ruining his promised party summer. My favorite quote – “So the obviously correct public policy is to let mounting sickness and rising deaths concentrate the minds of the recalcitrant. Let reality persuade the delusional and deranged. It has a pretty solid record of doing just that.” Mr. Sullivan, do the delusional and deranged include the over 700 of these people who were actually vaccinated? Mr. Sullivan, are you listening to yourself? Delusional and deranged? What a perfect encapsulation of these people and how they think. He has pontificated so much in his life about all the indignities that happened in the AIDS crisis. I guess “let it rip” was actually the lesson he learned from that nightmare. I learned some lessons too. You tend to do that when you sign 8-10 death certificates every day of your intern year. All I can say is “I’ll do me. Mr. Sullivan, you can do you.”

FMSB – or anyone else – please point out to me any misinformation in the above paragraph.

I want to finally explain a very important concept that is going to become even more important the next few weeks. We clearly have a non-sterilizing vaccine. There is now continued and mounting evidence that the vaccine helps symptoms and keeps some people from becoming extremely ill. (That is why I am strongly encouraging everyone at risk in my practice to take it NOW). However, there is evidence now, the Provincetown affair being the best example, that these vaccines do nothing to stop transmission. The vaccinated and unvaccinated alike can share the wealth and harbor viruses in their bodies. Viruses do not just sit around. They replicate at literally a logarithmic rate. They are not bacteria who reproduce at a 1-2-4-8 pace. No indeed, they are replicating at a 1-1000-1000000-1000000000000 pace. Since mutations happen when replication occurs, when you have this logarithmic rate of replication you have much higher levels of mutation. You are much more likely to have viruses develop mutations that will allow them to be more transmissible, more toxic, and more vaccine evasive. And when you have a vaccine that does not clear the virus from the vaccinated but instead allows it to be replicated and spewed you have just logarithmically elevated your chances of having real problems occur. That is where we are with these vaccines folks. At least with the information we have now. I did not just make this up out of my head. These are things I read just this AM in textbooks of medicine. Latest editions. Textbooks are there not for latest research – they are the repositories of wisdom and knowledge acquired over generations. They are the foundation. This is not new knowledge. This was known during the polio pandemic. That is why there were 2 vaccines – one was nonsterilizing(Salk) and the other sterilizing(Sabin). Both were given to every patient because they understood the wisdom of not having vaccine escape viruses in the wild. This entire concept has been known for generations.

There are two big differences now –

First of all, polio viruses and their ability to mutate are like a dice roll. Coronaviruses are more like a Rubik’s Cube.

Secondly, Jonas Salk was loud and proud about donating the polio vaccine to the world. He could have been minting gold. However, he hit one out of the park for the ages. Pfizer, Moderna, and their executives are indeed minting gold – how many new billionaires have been created by these vaccines? And oh by the way – the third world can just suck it – losers. And the elite wonder why “the delusional and deranged” as Mr Sullivan puts it, have a trust issue.

FSMB – please point out any misinformation in the above paragraph. Since the discussion about viruses is directly from Mandell’s Infectious Disease – we may have problems if you believe that is misinformation.

Folks, if you are high risk, obese, old, diabetic or immunocompromised – please go and get vaccinated right now. We all need to monitor our risk factors going forward – LOSE WEIGHT, GET YOUR BLOOD SUGAR DOWN, EXERCISE, GET SUNLIGHT – GET VIT D EVERY DAY. HUG YOUR KIDS AND YOUR SPOUSE. LAUGH ALL YOU CAN.

 

From what I have heard in multiple conference discussion this past week or so is that exactly how non-sterilizing the vaccines are is now critical. If it is really true that their sterilizing activity is equal to unvaccinated status – then we have issues. If it is just allowing 5% of the viral load of a non-vaccinated patient that is a completely different story. The flu shots to some degree are non-sterilizing each and every year, but my understanding is they are nowhere close to parity.

When that article came out from the CDCs own MMWR this week that the viral load in Provincetown was the exact same as the unvaccinated, it sent chills down my spine. That is most definitely not a good finding. They need to be looking at this aggressively to confirm or not. Also, as I alluded to above – was there something unusual about that cohort of patients? If it truly was a “bear” convention – they are older, more obese and much more likely to be diabetic. Did those pre-disposing conditions possibly factor into the parity with viral loads? Furthermore, it is critical that actual virologic counting be done on the samples. cT is very suggestive but not expositive.

But the point that it is apparently so close in parity to unvaccinated status is profoundly disturbing. This was completely unexpected and concerning to every one I have talked to this week.

I am awaiting further data – assuming they will be forthcoming with it. It has the potential to be a very interesting week.

And per your quote above, “If infection with natural coronaviruses doesn’t do it, I don’t think we should necessarily expect or have the anticipation that we’ll be able to get there with the vaccine.”

I have been hearing those sentiments all this past week from many people I know and respect. Basically – we are going to have to learn to live with this virus. How are the American people going to take that?

I have multiple overarching concerns right now ——

1). There is absolute signal that this is a completely non-sterilizing vaccine. If so, there is precedent but not certainty that this could make this whole thing worse. In a normal world, I would have expected a pause and reflect moment. Instead, we are doubling down on vaccinating everyone. Is that a wise course?

2). There is all kinds of talk in the air about boosters right now. I have not spoken to a single patient – not one – many of whom lined up willingly in December – who are remotely interested in this at this time. A direct quote from my old lady neighbor from less than an hour ago – “I got vaccinated once – and I did that for my country. I will never let this clown car brigade get near me with another one. They cannot keep their lies straight.” And she is a loyal Dem – Biden signs all over her yard last year. All these people like Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity towing the line of the official narrative never get near an actual citizen. I do so every day all day – and I am telling you that is just not going to fly.

3). The idea of mandating vaccination in this unsure environment is really a sign of the medical establishment not realizing the position they are in. I just got off the phone with the nurse taking care of my patients in the hospital. One of the CNAs told the charge nurse she would not be back tomorrow. She quit. The stress is already overwhelming and now this. My hospital has already had its little mandate attempt – and it ended in disaster for the administration. So they tried the humiliation and loss of privileges approach – and people are quitting in the droves. I am sorry to say – this could literally cripple some of our hospitals far better than a crush of COVID patients. And at this juncture, unless more evidence comes to the fore, universal enforced vaccination does not make much sense medically.

Why In The World Did The CDC Stop Tracking mRNA Neo-Vaccinoid Breakthrough Cases?

bloomberg  |  The U.S. agency leading the fight against Covid-19 gave up a crucial surveillance tool tracking the effectiveness of vaccines just as a troublesome new variant of the virus was emerging. 

While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped comprehensively tracking what are known as vaccine breakthrough cases in May, the consequences of that choice are only now beginning to show.

At the time, the agency had identified only 10,262 cases across the U.S. where a fully vaccinated person had tested positive for Covid. Most people who got infected after vaccination showed few symptoms, and appeared to be at low risk of infecting others. 

But in the months since, the number of vaccine breakthrough cases has grown, as has the risk that they present. And while the CDC has stopped tracking such cases, many states have not. Bloomberg gathered data from 35 states and identified 111,748 vaccine breakthrough cases through the end of July, more than 10 times the CDC’s end-of-April tally.

With more than 164 million Americans vaccinated, breakthrough cases are expected. The number of them should rise as more people are vaccinated, simply because there are more vaccinated people who could get infected. While a similarly small proportion of vaccine breakthroughs was seen in clinical trials of the shots, state health officials said it was important to know how many are happening, how severe they are, and if they’re getting more common. 

The CDC said when it announced the change in May that it would continue to collect data on breakthrough cases if the infections resulted in hospitalization or death — a rare occurrence, since vaccines provide significant protection. The decision to stop tracking non-severe cases was made to “help maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance,” the agency says on its website.

But that decision to follow not track mild or asymptomatic cases is now being questioned, including by state officials dealing with the virus on the front lines. 

At the same time the CDC stopped tracking those cases, the delta variant began to spread in the U.S. Small numbers of delta-variant cases were identified in mid-April. The strain began to take over in some parts of the country in June, then exploded nationally in July.

It now makes up the vast majority of cases, in part because it is more contagious than prior strains. New waves of Covid cases have caused a surge in hospitalizations in the South among unvaccinated people, and led the Biden administration and states to push for vaccine mandates. 

“When I saw CDC was going to stop tracking vaccinated people who get infected, my heart sank,” said Charity Dean, who helped lead California’s response to Covid as the state health department’s assistant director. “We lost our shot at being able to characterize how this variant is moving through the population and how new variants might emerge.”
