    From The Lancet

    COVID-19: stigmatising the unvaccinated is not justified

    In the USA and Germany, high-level officials have used the term pandemic of the unvaccinated, suggesting that people who have been vaccinated are not relevant in the epidemiology of COVID-19. Officials’ use of this phrase might have encouraged one scientist to claim that “the unvaccinated threaten the vaccinated for COVID-19”.1
    But this view is far too simple.

    The title of this clip should allude those as to what you are going to see. Warning: once you see it, you can not un-see it. It will stick in your head forever when you look at rock formations… or not?

    Fascinating for the individual to contemplate in their thoughts. A previous cataclysmic event in the Earths history led to what is around us. Volcanism and the Flood; pummeling the Nephilim and Giant Trees. Easy to dismiss or debunk one could say. East to look up petrified wood and you can get what this bloke is hinting about the past.

    In an amazing victory over “cancel culture” and without a lick of advertising, big media reviews, or even a C-SPAN book chat, conservative talker Mark R. Levin’s American Marxism is heading to be the top-selling book for all of 2021.

    According to publishing industry sources, Levin’s call to action sold more than 1.2 million copies in several formats, including 1 million in hardback. Amazon is headlining it as the nation’s bestseller of all books this year.

    Two Common Over-the-Counter Compounds Reduce COVID-19 Virus Replication by 99%

    A pair of over-the-counter compounds has been found in preliminary tests to inhibit the virus that causes COVID-19, University of Florida Health researchers have found.

    The combination includes diphenhydramine, an antihistamine used for allergy symptoms. When paired with lactoferrin, a protein found in cow and human milk, the compounds were found to hinder the SARS-CoV-2 virus during tests in monkey cells and human lung cells.

    Don’t worry, your government and the CDC will put a stop to this outrage as soon as they find no money can be made from it.

    Another comment sums up the scam:

    Jay

    I have stacks of (saved) research papers indicating that there are many legitimate alternatives we could have – and should have – tried at the beginning of this pandemic, while awaiting the magic elixir in a vaccine. Unfortunately, there was no sensible, uniform protocols for doctors to follow when dealing with Covid19 patients, other than to tell them to go home, wait it out, and come back if they got worse. The Covid19 800K death count is a testament to the failure of the medical establishment to ‘do no harm’ by ignoring/denying alternative treatments, even in the throes of thousands of deaths per day.

    Who or what decided that wearing masks, social distancing and lockdowns were the intelligent choice to battle this pandemic while frustrated doctors from around the globe were shut down, shut up, ostracized, deplatformed and fired for speaking out against these meaningless protocols? Whose idea was it to ban age-old, proven safe drugs like HCQ and Ivermectin when doctors and their patients were willing to try it in hopes of a better outcome? It was lobbyists, politicians and doctors/researchers without conscience, who put more value on pocketbooks than on my life or yours. As loved ones are dying in hospital and family members are begging to have Ivermectin administered, even as a last ditch effort to save them, doctors are shrugging their shoulders and refusing to act.

    This is not healthcare. This is a crime against humanity. We are no less oppressed than the Uyghurs – it’s just that our oppression is disguised as public health for your own good.

    Fully Vaccinated Mother Gives Birth To Baby Bleeding From Nose and Mouth, Infant Dies Day Later

    According to a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) report, a fully vaccinated mother gave birth to a baby who was bleeding from the mouth and nose. Tragically, just a day after the baby was born, the infant passed away. Following the death, the baby’s father has stated he believes that the Covid-19 vaccine is responsible for the passing.

    It is becoming clearer why some people are having adverse reactions/and or dying.

    What a devious plan to have it on dry ice so no one sees what is in it. Once it gets into the body and warms up, there are critters running around.

    It would depend on which critters are attacking which system in the body. So healthy athletes are falling off, healthy people are having strange reactions (such as Casey Hodgkinson), new born babies dying.

    Piss off, Kraut.

    Just saw cricketer Graeme Swann talking with CH7 from the UK. About 5 minutes into the interview mentioned that he had spent the week feeling shit with Covid. Someone in his position that is part of the sporting media is highly likely to be fully vaxxed, yet gets it and says he had it real bad.
    The average age of a UK Covid death is still around life expectancy, so how the hell can anyone justify vax coercion/mandates. The vaccines don’t prevent anything. The vaccines are a very dangerous con. Enough of this bullshit.

    From the BMJ:

    Rapid Response:
    Evidence does not justify mandatory vaccines – everyone should have the right to informed choice
    Dear Editor,

    As doctors and health professionals, many of whom work in the NHS, we would like to express our opposition to anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination being mandated for any group of people, including health and care workers. We agree with the House of Lords committee that the evidence is insufficient to justify this measure, but the government and Parliament do not appear to be listening and mandatory vaccines for NHS staff looks likely to be passed into law this week.

    We do not dispute that covid-19 can be and has been a dangerous infection, and we agree that vaccines are effective in many situations. However, there is considerable uncertainty about the effectiveness of the covid vaccines, some serious short-term complications and a lack of data on long-term harms. In this situation, it is imperative that people are able to make a fully-informed choice about whether to have the vaccine or not.

    It is widely accepted that randomised controlled trials are the only means of providing robust data on the efficacy of medical interventions because observational data is subject to uncontrolled biases. Yet the randomised trials of the covid vaccines lasted for a very short time and were only powered to provide definitive statistical evidence on preventing ‘symptomatic infections’, not on preventing infection per se, hospitalisation or death. The trials also provided no data on whether the vaccines reduce transmission or not—things we have had to learn the hard way, through real world evidence like the rapid spread of the Delta and now Omicron variants.

    Results from the randomised vaccine trials published so far suggested the vaccines were effective in reducing symptomatic infections for a few weeks. The average duration of follow-up for people in the first report from the Pfizer trial, on which licensing was based, was only 46 days, for example. [1] The recent report on data from people who had been in the trial for up to 6 months revealed that the mean total duration of follow-up for the primary outcome of the double-blind trial was 3.6 months for those who received the vaccine and 3.5 months for those allocated to placebo. [2] Moreover, only 7% of participants actually remained in the double blind trial for 6 months. [3] Real-world data are not consistent with the trial results, with high case numbers in doubly vaccinated individuals reported from the UK [4] and Israel [5], for example. This suggests either that effects of vaccines wear off quickly, and/or that some bias crept into original trial procedures, possibly due to unblinding caused by vaccine reactions [6] or other procedural irregularities. [7] The same observational data suggests the vaccines may reduce hospital admission and death due to covid infection, but, in the absence of data from randomised trials it is difficult to be certain, since unknown factors may bias the data in either direction.

    More alarmingly, third and fourth ‘booster’ shots have not been tested in any randomised trials, and other data on the efficacy and safety of administering further doses are scanty.

    In other words, data on the only outcome properly tested in randomised trials, the prevention of cases by two vaccinations, appear unreliable, possibly due to rapidly waning effects or other factors, and other outcomes and procedures have not been investigated in randomised trials, meaning there is no secure evidence either way.

    As far as the safety of the vaccines is concerned, it is clear that rare but serious, and potentially fatal adverse effects occur, such as thrombosis and myocarditis, [8] and that these took months to identify. Long-term harms will be difficult to detect due to the short duration of the randomised trials, and will only become apparent in coming years.

    There are also no data on groups who might be particularly adversely affected by the vaccine, such as those with, or at risk of autoimmune disorders, and there is little data on adverse effects of booster shots, which is significant since there have long been safety concerns about repeated exposure to mRNA technology. [9] Repeated booster vaccines therefore represent cumulative risk for untested benefit.

    For young age groups, in whom covid-related morbidity and mortality is low, and for those who have had covid 19 infection already, and appear to have longstanding immunological memory, [10] the harms of taking a vaccine are almost certain to outweigh the benefits to the individual, and the goal of reducing transmission to other people at higher risk has not been demonstrated securely. [11]

    Respecting people’s autonomy and bodily integrity is at the heart of human rights and medical ethics and the data currently available on the vaccines by no means justify over-riding these important principles. More good quality research and access to existing data from the vaccine trials are required for people to make fully-informed decisions about whether to take these vaccines or not. [12] Coercing people to have a covid vaccine, either through the threat of legal sanctions or, in the case of mandates for occupational groups, by depriving people of their livelihoods and careers, is not justified due to the prevailing uncertainty about the overall benefits of the vaccines, the unfavourable risk-benefit ratio for many groups, and, not least, the lack of data on long-term harms.
