Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
At the start of my earliest school days, the
last week of August was a time of much fear and trepidation. It was the
end of vacation and the foreboding preamble for back to school adjustments.
At this juncture, the mental preparation for scholastic discipline was
sometimes wrenching. The required conformity within the institution was not
always an easy task and demanded some attention, the challenge being to find
out which was more malleable: the “civilizing” rules of the classroom or the
creativity of our innate human mind.
The anxiety caused by this
contest was nowhere more palpable, at this stage of schooling, than during
the first September lessons of reading and spelling in English.
Perhaps it was this memory
that led me to return once more, at the end of this summer, to “basics” and
visit two books with renewed interest in how to teach reading and spelling to
beginners. The formidable tools I found at hand were: Spell it Right, by Harry Shaw (1961), and The Rights of the Reader, by Daniel Pennac (first published in French as Comme un roman, in 1992, and translated into English by Sarah Adams in 2006, with
illustrations and a Foreword by Quentin Blake). Both books provide considerable
philosophical insights into the pedagogy of acculturation and survival.
In the first chapter of
“Spell it Right,” Shaw introduces the reader to “the Problem of Spelling”:
The one thing demanded of anyone who has had educational advantages is
that he be able to spell. In your daily work or’ in social situations you may
not need to be able to add a column of figures. Few people will care. Not often
will you be thought stupid if you don’t know the dates of historical events –
say, the Battle of Waterloo. Your knowledge of economics can be nil. You may
not know the difference between an oboe and an ibis, an atom and a molecule.
But if you can’t spell, you’re in trouble. Rightly or wrongly, fairly or
unfairly, misspelling is the most frequently accepted sign of illiteracy.
Why is this? You can argue that the ability to think clearly is far more
important than spelling. So are clear expressions of thoughts, an attractive
personality, and demonstrated ability in one’s job. The fact remains that
incorrect spelling is heavily penalized in our society – so heavily that it
keeps people from getting jobs that they want or prevents them from moving up
to better positions. Inability to spell gives people complexes just as much as
unsureness about grammar or proper methods of dress and social behavior.
The main reason for this somewhat illogical reliance on spelling as an
index of intelligence and literacy is that correct spelling is the one fixed
and certain thing about our language. The overwhelming majority of English
words are spelled in only one way; all other ways are wrong. The accepted
system is accepted. It is the system in which our business communications, our
magazines, our newpapers, and our books have been written for generations.
. . .
For many generations, spelling practice has been supported by sentiment,
convention, prejudice, and custom. This is a strong support, since each of us can
think of many other activities similarly reinforced. The world is largely
ruled by sentiment. A hundred, a thousand, observances are based only upon
convention. Think briefly of the clothes people wear, table manners, office
etiquette, and you will see the point. If sentiment, convention, and custom
were removed from our social order, our way of living would be altered beyond
recognition.
If English spelling were much more illogical than it is, the problem
might be solved. Then no one could spell correctly, all of us would be bad
spellers together. But enough people have learned to spell correctly to make
things difficult for those who can’t. This is the situation today, and we must
make the best of it. At sometime in the distant future, correct spelling may be
thought unimportant. Until that time, we can take comfort in realizing that
spelling, like every other activity of the human mind, can be learned. It will
have to be if we are to free ourselves from the doubts and frustrations which
diminish our self-confidence when we write. It will have to be if we wish to
‘get ahead,’ to be socially acceptable, to be considered educated and literate.
Correct spelling is so important for social and business reasons that we
feel obligated to learn to spell as well as we can, perfectly if possible. The
task is not simple. It would be easier if spelling were always logical and
consistent. But from bitter experience we know that the spelling of English
words is illogical and inconsistent. In fact, it is downright eccentric and, on
occasion, idiotic – as writers through the years have gleefully, or wrathfully,
pointed out. Thorstein Veblen, famed author of ‘The Theory of the Leisure
Class,’ once wrote that English spelling satisfies all the requirements ‘of conspicuous
waste. It is archaic, cumbersome, and ineffective . . . failure to acquire it
is easy of detection . . .’ as many of us know to our sorrow. And former
President Andrew Jackson once angrily commented that it is a poor mind which
cannot think of more than one way to spell a word.
Why is spelling difficult? The
primary reason is that the correct spelling of many words does not even
approximate the sounds being represented. Our speech has steadily drifted away
from the traditional writing and the process is continuing. Because our
language is constantly changing, it is likely that spelling will tend to differ
more and more form pronunciation. Unless spelling undergoes reform (and strong
opposition has always prevented this) our spelling may proceed to the point
where many words become ideographic. This means that a written symbol (a
spelled word) will represent something directly rather than stand for the
actual sound of the word itself. This tendency – exemplified by the contrasting
pronunciation and spelling of such words a ‘cough’, ‘Worcester’, and ‘knife’ –
has been evident for centuries. Some experts believe that this difference will
become greater and greater.
Not only are numerous words not
spelled as they sound, but many which sound alike are spelled differently. Any system
is suspect which tolerates ‘fine’ and ‘sign’. We have identical pronunciations
for ‘no’ and ‘know’; cite, sight, and ‘site’ sound alike. No one unfamiliar
with English and English spelling would ever imagine that ‘kernel’ and ‘colonel’
have the same sound.
No adequate history of English spelling has ever been written and
certainly this small book is not the place to attempt one. But a brief review
of known facts about our language will help to account for some of the admitted
difficulties of English spelling.
For about one thousand years before the Christian era, our linguistic
ancestor’s were semi-savages wandering through northern Europe. Those tribes
consisted of Angles, Saxons, and Jutes and spoke several dialects of what is
known as Low German, or ‘Platt-deutsch.’ They had some contact with the Roman
Empire and promptly began a process which has continued unabated to the present
day: they started borrowing words from Latin and placing them in their own
vocabularies. We still use many everyday words borrowed by these tribes:
‘bishop’, ‘butter’, ‘cheap’, ‘cheese’, ‘church’, ‘plum’, ‘kettle’, ‘street’,
etc.
When the Roman Empire began to weaken, it had to give up its occupancy
of what we now know as England, and the
Germanic tribes, commonly called Anglo-Saxons in England in the fifth century
A.D., but we do know that after the year 600 they were converted to
Christianity and that borrowing from Latin became even more pronounced. To what
was then Anglo-Saxon, or Old English, were added many words which are in use
today, such as ‘alms’, ‘anthem’, ‘martyr’, ‘palm’, and ‘priest’.
England even then was considered an attractive place, and Norsemen from
Denmark and the Scandinavian peninsula began a long series of hit-and-run
raids. Forays of the Norseman continued until the eleventh century, with the
linguistic result that many Norse words were added to the language. Examples
are ‘crawl’, ‘egg’, ‘law’, ‘race’, ‘scowl’, and ‘tree’. Even our pronouns
‘they’, ‘them’, and ‘their’ are of Norse origin. So is our suffix ‘-by’, the
Danish word for ‘farm’ or ‘town’, which appears in so many place names, such as
‘Derby’.
Another event of great importance to our language (and spelling) was the
Norman Conquest. The Normans, originally from Scandinavia, settled in northern
France in the tenth century and adopted the French language. In 1066 they
crossed the English Channel and became the masters of England. French became
the language of the nobility, the court, and polite society, although the
common people continued to use English. Our language was profoundly affected by
the introduction of French; literally thousands of words were added to the
English vocabulary between 1100 and 1500. A few examples will serve to show
this borrowing: ‘bacon,’, ‘baptism’, ‘biscuit’, ‘blanket’, ‘bucket’, ‘chess’,
‘curtain’, ‘fault’, ‘flower’, ‘government’, ‘grammar’, ‘incense’, ‘lamp’,
‘lemon’, ‘logic’, ‘parson’, ‘religion’, ‘scarlet’, ‘surprise’, ‘towel’.
Beginning about 1500, the discovery of new lands brought many thousands
of other new words to the English language. Words from such remote regions as
India, China, Africa, and North America enriched the language tremendously.
Among familiar words borrowed, for example, from the North American Indians may
be mentioned Connecticut’, ‘Massachusetts’, ‘Monongahela’, ‘squaw’, ‘tomahawk’,
and ‘wampum’.
In short, during the past thousand years our language has far more than
doubled its size. Words have come pouring into the language form French, Latin,
Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and a scores of other tongues. Many of these words are
difficult to spell, at least in part because of their pronunciation.
This brief comment on English is grossly inadequate as linguistic
history, but its purpose is to make clear one dominant reason why spelling and
pronunciation are so far apart. When these many thousands of words first
arrived in English they often appeared with the spellings, or phonetic (sound)
approximations of the spellings, which they originally had and which did not
always conform to the customs of English. Sometimes, the spellings of words
were modified to conform to the English tongue, many times (they were not. The
English language is a linguistic grab bag with tremendous range and flexibility.
Unfortunately, its very richness compounds our spelling problems.
English is indeed a polyglot language, but that is not all. Present day
spelling often reflects pronunciations of several centuries ago. Between the
time of Chaucer (1340-1400) and Shakespeare (1564-1616) our language underwent
changes in pronunciation which contributed to the chaos of modern spelling.
For example, in Chaucer’s time ‘mouse’ sounded like our ‘moose’; ‘moon’
resembled our pronunciation of moan’. These shifts in vowel sounds (as well as
in others) were thorough. However, since we have retained some of the
Chaucerian (Middle English) system of spelling, Modern and Chaucerian English
seem closer than they really are. Genuine differences are hidden by our
spelling system.
Another change during this period from Chaucer to Shakespeare was the
complete elimination of a vowel sound in certain positions. Chaucer pronounced
‘name’ and ‘dance’ at two syllables. Shakespeare pronounced them as one, as do
we. Similarly, Chaucer pronounced the word ‘laughed’ as two syllables:
laugh-ed, but of course we do not. This elimination of a vowel sound affected
hundreds of quite common words and gave a different aspect to the language. The
‘silent’ vowel in English is responsible for as many misspellings as any other
one cause . . . .
These two changes in pronunciation (but not in spelling) account for
some of the basic differences between the English of Chaucer’s time and that of
today. Furthermore, a number of other sound changes have occurred since the
time of Shakespeare and are still going on. People in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, for example, pronounced ‘reason’ as we do ‘raisin’. They
also sounded the ‘l’ in a word like ‘palm’. Our pronunciation has changed, but
our spelling has not – with consequent grief for all poor spellers.
Why is it that pronunciation is ever changing and spelling is not?
. . .
If you have read this far, you may have become discouraged about ever
learning to spell correctly. You may say, and with reason, that such a weird
and illogical system deserves not study but contempt. Nevertheless, you know
from experience that powerful social and business considerations force you to
master the subject. Actually, the problem is not so difficult to solve as it
may seem.
In the first place, psychologists and experienced educators have proved
over and over again that any person of normal intelligence can learn to spell.
Like any other activity of the human mind, spelling can be approached, grasped,
and mastered. It is easier for some people to spell correctly than it is for
others. This is understandable; some people can master calculus or ice-skating
or sewing or typing or reading more easily than others. Spelling correctly may
not be simple for you, but it surely cannot be termed impossible. Hundreds of
thousands of ‘bad’ spellers have conquered their difficulties. So can you, if
you really desire to and will apply yourself to the task. No special quality of
mind, no rare set of mental or motor reflexes, is involved. (pp.1-8)
Daniel Pennac starts his
book, The Rights of the Reader, by
proclaiming as axiomatic the following observation: “You can’t make a person
read. Just like you can’t make them fall in love, or dream.”(p.13) Pennac’s book
might have carried as a descriptive subtitle, the phrase: “Teaching literacy
before literacy”.
Chapter 3
“We were the book.”
To be fair, we parents didn’t set out
to turn reading into a chore. All we thought about, in the beginning, was our
children’s enjoyment. We were in a state of grace during those early years. Our
total sense of wonder in the face of a new life transformed us into geniuses.
For them, we became storytellers. As soon as they emerged blinking into the
world of language, we told them stories. It was a talent we didn’t know we had.
Their enjoyment inspired us. Their happiness gave us voice. We created
character after character, adventure after adventure, ratcheting up the plots.
We invented a whole world for them, like the ageing Tolkien for his
grandchildren. On the border of day and night, we became their novelist.
Not that it would have mattered if we’d had no talent for storytelling.
If we’d told them other people’s stories, badly, groping for words, mispronouncing
names, mixing up adventures, muddling the beginning of one with the ending of
another…. Even if we hadn’t made up stories at all, if we’d just read aloud,
we’d still have been their personal novelist, their special storytellers
helping them slip into their dreamy pajamas every evening before dissolving
under the sheets of night. More than that, we were the Book.
Remember that intimacy. There’s nothing like it.(pp.17-18)
. . .
Chapter 4
“The paradoxical virtue of
reading.”
We taught our young readers
everything about books, when they didn’t know how to read. We opened their
minds to the infinite richness of imaginary things, introduced them to the joys
of vertical travel; we gave them the power to go anywhere, delivered them from
Chronos, plunged them into the fabulously crowded solitude of the reader…. The
stories we read them were full of brothers, sisters, parents, imaginary twins,
teams of guardian angels, fleets of special friends to protect them from their
sorrows, but who in turn found protection from their own fictional demons in
the worried beating of the children’s hearts. The children became their
reciprocal angels: readers. Without the characters, the children were weighed
down by their own reality. And so they discovered the paradoxical virtue of
reading, which is to abstract ourselves from the world in order to make sense
of it.
They returned from these voyages unable to speak. It was morning, and we
were getting on with something else. To be honest, we didn’t really bother
trying to find out what they’d brought back form the other side. Innocently,
they cultivated their mystery. It was their own private world. Their personal
relationship with Snow White, or whichever of the seven dwarves they were on
close terms with, demanded secrecy. The reader’s greatest pleasure: the silence
after the story has been read.
Yes, we taught them everything about books.
As readers they were ready for anything.
So ready, and let’s not forget this, they were desperate to learn how to
read.(pp.19-20)
Chapter 5
“The great teacher.”
What great teachers we were, when we
didn’t worry about our methods.(p.21)
Chapter 6
‘years later...”
Look at them now, years later, in
their bedroom, with a book they’re not reading. The urge to be somewhere else
is a murky screen between them and the open page, blurring the lines. There
they are, by the window, behind the closed door. Page forty-eight. They don’t
want to think about how long it’s taken them to reach this forty-eighth page. The
book contains exactly four hundred and forty-six of them. Call it five hundred.
Five hundred pages! If only there was more dialogue. Not that it would make
much difference. The pages are crammed with lines, squeezed between tiny
margins; black paragraphs stacked on top of one another; here and there the
relief of a conversation – speech marks, like an oasis, denoting one character
talking to another. But the other person doesn’t reply. And there there’s a run
of twelve pages. Twelve pages of black ink it’s suffocating. Totally
suffocating. Fucking hell. They swear. Sorry, but they swear.
Stupid-bloody-fucking-pile-of-shit-of-a-book. Page forty-eight…. If only they
could remember what those first forty pages were about. But they don’t dare ask
themselves the question someone else is bound to put to them sooner or
later.(p.22)
The misuse of scientific
knowledge and the callous disregard of the data of collective human experience
breeds a violence all of its own that characterizes all class-divided societies. The
hubris of the ruling class and their
so-called “experts” is ultimately suicidal. The ancient Greeks got it right !
Our compulsory schooling has been a careful preparation for unlearning this basic truth; it's too often reduced to an exercise in obediance training within a paradigme of arrogant authority figures.
The 26 + items below invite
us to search our own souls for historic lessons from the past and to muster the
courage of our convictions to live according to our understanding of past
experiences, placed in their specific historical and social contexts. This perspective
can be gained by reading carefully and abstracting meaningful ideas for purposes of
discussion with those around us, spreading the hope of eventually seeing desirable
social changes, despite the omnipresence of “Big Brother” watching and the
immense predatory interests which are lined up against us.
Or as one public intellectual
recently queried : “How do you organize in a fish bowl?”

Last surviving prosecutor of Nuremberg
Trials tells those fighting back against medical tyranny now to “Never give up”
by Rhoda
Wilson
Ferencz,
born in 1920, is the last living prosecutor of the Nuremberg Trials and he has
a message to those who feel discouraged, “I give three pieces of advice. One,
never give up. Two, never give up. Three, never give up.” He is a real
inspiration and to hear him give a brief account his World War II experience,
watch HERE.
After
fighting in the final Battle of the Bulge, Ferencz was tapped on the shoulder
one day, “you, report to General Patton’s headquarters. We got some orders for
you to report”. When he got there Patton said, “We have a message here
from Washington. We are required to set up a war crimes branch.”
So, the first branch of the US army to deal with war crimes was formed. Hermann
Göring
was the first lead defendant that was captured and the highest-ranking Nazi
official to be tried at Nuremberg. He was sentenced to death but
committed suicide the night before his execution was scheduled.
After
completing his mission, Ferencz was given an honourable discharge and returned
to the United States. Sometime later he received a telegram from the Pentagon
to go to Washington. When he got there, he was asked to return to
Germany. “I’m not going back in the army,” Ferencz replied. That’s when
he found out they were setting up further trials and Ferencz agreed to return.
On
his return, he was given some German army correspondence – reports made by
special squads called “Einsatzgruppen” whose
assignment was to kill, without pity or remorse, every Jewish man woman or
child they could find. The Einsatzgruppen reported what they did every
day – how many they killed and the name of
the officer, the unit, the time, and the place. He
began adding up how many people they had killed and when he got to a million,
he stopped counting. He caught the next plane from Berlin to Nuremburg and he
said, “General, we’ve got to put on a new trial.” And that’s how he
became the chief prosecutor of the largest murder trial in human history, the “Einsatzgruppen
case”.
There
were 3,000 members of the Einsatzgruppen that Ferencz had identified as mass
murderers but he was limited to selecting 24 for trial. But only 22 made it
through to the end of the trials, so, Ferencz prosecuted 22 defendants of “the
calculating murder of over a million innocent men, women and children.” This
was his first court case. He had never been in a court room before.
His opening paragraph at the open trial was, “I ask the court to affirm my
international law the right of all people to live in peace and human dignity
regardless of their racial creed,” and the judge did that. “[Now] we have the
more important thing, [which] is to prevent it from happening again, and I’ve
been working on that for the rest of my life,” Ferencz said.
The
post-war trials not only prosecuted the regime and military leaders, but also
members of civil society and industry. One such trial is the “Doctors
Trial”.
Nazi physicians planned and enacted the “Euthanasia Program” – the systematic
killing of those they deemed “unworthy of life.” In addition, physicians
conducted pseudoscientific medical experiments on thousands of concentration
camp prisoners without their consent – most died or were permanently crippled
as a result. The tribunal’s verdict outlined ten assertions in a section
entitled “Permissible Medical Experiments” also known as “The Nuremberg Code”.
The
Nuremberg Code (“Code”) contains the standards to which medical practitioners
must conform when carrying out medical experiments on humans. It is
accepted worldwide and the principles it established have been extended into
general codes of medical ethics.
The
first basic principle of the Code is fully informed and voluntary consent, and
states, “the duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the
consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the
experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated
to another with impunity.”
The
experimental Covid-19 injections are in clear violation of
all ten principles of the Code and a growing list of medical
practitioners, scientists and lawyers worldwide are calling out these
violations, below is a mere few of such individuals:
[CAVEAT from Mark Crispin Miller]
“Benjamin
Ferencz's exhortation—‘Never give up’—was NOT addressed to those of us now
fighting for health freedom”
The headline in that Daily Expose piece—"Last surviving
prosecutor of Nuremberg Trials tells those fighting back against medical
tyranny now to 'Never give up'"—is misleading, as it implies that Ferencz
has weighed in on the struggle "now" ongoing against COVID-19
"vaccine" mandates /passports, etc., and has come down on our side.
But he has not. His exhortation—"Never give up"—is (as one
subscriber has observed) "generic," and so was not meant as
encouragement to those of us who see his work at Nuremberg as crucial to our
work against what's happening today.

US Military Vaccine Mandates Will Go in Effect in
September
by Tyler Durden
Now
that U.S. President Joe Biden has announced that all federal employees must get
the COVID-19 vaccine, he’s expected to announce Friday, August 6, 2021, that
all military personnel will also be served the mandate, beginning in September.
The
average age of most active duty military personnel is around 28, which puts
them at a very low risk of getting COVID or dying from it, ZeroHedge points
out. Not only that, it’s become clear that vaccinated people can still get and
spread the disease.
Since
the vaccine is still under emergency use authorization, technically the military
can’t mandate troops to get it — unless the president signs a waiver requiring it.
Apparently, Biden plans to do that.

Subject: AIPAC is putting Ilhan
Omar’s life at risk
Tell Facebook to take down AIPAC’s racist,
hateful ads against women of color in Congress.
The American-Israel
Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is at it again, inciting Islamophobia and
endangering the lives of women of color in Congress. The
pro-Israel lobby group has taken out a series of paid ads on Facebook
accusing lawmakers Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, and
Rashida Tlaib of lying about Israel by using the words “apartheid,” “act of
terrorism” and “ethnic cleansing.” The ad attacking Ilhan Omar baselessly
links her, a Muslim-American, to terrorism. It’s textbook Islamophobia! Ilhan’s communications
director, Jeremy Slevin, responded to the ads by tweeting that “the
language AIPAC uses in paid ads to smear and vilify [Omar] is virtually
identical to the language used in death threats she gets.” Rashida Tlaib
tweeted “I am so sick of this shit.”
We’re sick
of this shit, too. AIPAC is literally putting the lives of sitting members
of Congress at risk. Sign our petition to Facebook and report the racist ads directly on Facebook. Tlaib,
Omar, AOC, and Bush aren’t the only members of Congress putting their necks
on the line to support freedom and dignity for Palestinians. Mark Pocan
was working on the issue before members of the squad were in Congress and
Betty McCollum is behind legislation to condition aid to Israel so that it
doesn’t support the abuse of Palestinian children. But, as Pocan pointed out,
he and McCollum are not so viciously attacked because they are white while
Tlaib, Omar, AOC, and Bush are women of color. Sign our petition to Facebook telling them to remove
AIPAC’s hateful, racist, and dangerous ads. Then go to AIPAC’s “ad library” and report the ads for endangering the lives of sitting members of
Congress. AIPAC
captioned their ads “stop the lies,” “stop the hate,” and “work for peace.”

USA/UK: US Authorities Must Drop Politically Motivated Charges Against
Assange
by Amnesty
International
“This
attempt by the US government to get the court to reverse its decision not to
allow Julian Assange’s extradition on the basis of new diplomatic assurances is
a blatant legal sleight of hand. Given that the US government has reserved the
right to keep Julian Assange in a maximum security facility and subject him to
Special Administrative Measures, these assurances are inherently unreliable.
“This
disingenuous appeal should be dismissed by the court and President Biden should
take the opportunity to drop these politically motivated charges which have put
media freedom and freedom of expression in the dock.
“President
Obama opened the investigation into Julian Assange. President Trump brought the
charges against him. It is now time for President Biden to do the right thing
and help end this farcical prosecution which should never have been brought in
the first place.
“Amnesty
International’s recent work as a technical partner on the Pegasus Project is
just the latest example that exposes what some states will do outside the gaze
of publicity. It reinforces the vital importance of whistle blowers,
investigative journalists and publishers in holding the perpetrators of human
rights violations to account.”

Moderna Received 300,000 Reports of COVID Vax Side Effects — in 3
Months
They aren’t numbers anyone is going to see in the U.S.
federal government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), but
they’re astounding: In just a three-month period after it introduced its mRNA
COVID “vaccine,” Moderna received 300,000 side effects reports.
The numbers come from a confidential, internal presentation
that IQVIA, a company that helps drug makers manage clinical trials, shared
with employees. “A person with access to the presentation provided screenshots”
of relevant slides revealing the information, according to journalist Alex
Berenson.
The 300,000 “dwarfs the number of reports in VAERS for the
Moderna vaccine,” Berenson added. It’s not clear why the numbers aren’t showing
up in the VAERS, since manufacturers are required by law to turn over to VAERS
all reports of side effects they receive.
As of August 6, 2021, VAERS contains more than 3,000 reports
of deaths following Moderna vaccinations.

Partying With the Vaccinated: 11 of
15 Fully Vaxxed Got COVID
by Dr. Mercola
It wasn’t supposed to happen: A
fully vaccinated individual who thought they were protected from COVID-19 was
diagnosed with the virus after attending a party with 14 other fully-vaccinated
persons. So what happened?
In a commentary for The Baltimore
Sun, epidemiologist Allan Massie describes how he expected to be immune to the
virus, but came down with it anyway. He was “pretty miserable,” he said, and he
didn’t wish it on anybody.
What Massie didn’t mention was that,
as of July 31, 2021, at least 125,000 fully vaccinated Americans in 38 states
had already come down with COVID — and 1,400 of them had died. The overall
survival rate for persons getting COVID naturally is 99.74%.

"fears" that COVID "variants of concern" could soon

Variants
could be named after star constellations when Greek alphabet runs out, says WHO
Covid chief
UN health
agency fears variants of concern could outnumber the 24 letters of the Greek
alphabet, Maria Van Kerkhove tells the Telegraph
BySarah
Newey, GLOBAL
HEALTH SECURITY CORRESPONDENT7 August 2021 • 4:00pm
Dr Van
Kerkhove said several alternatives have already been dismissed, including
naming variants after Greek gods and goddesses
New coronavirus variants could be named after star
constellations once letters of the Greek alphabet are exhausted, a senior World
Health Organization official has suggested.
In an interview with the Telegraph Maria Van
Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical chief for Covid-19, said the UN health agency was
already looking at new names for mutations amid fears there will be more
concerning variants than the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet.
That system was introduced in late May and so far 11 mutations have
been named: four variants of concern, including delta and beta; four variants of
interest, such as eta and lambda; plus epsilon, zeta and theta, thought to be
“of interest” but since downgraded.
But as the coronavirus continues to mutate, it is possible
there will be more key strains than available letters.
Dr Van Kerkhove said star constellations are the current
frontrunner to follow the Greek alphabet, suggesting we could one day see
variants known as Aries, Gemini or Orion.

How is it
that "we" tolerate this?
The swine
flu vaccine rollout was halted after 46 deaths. But now deaths in the tens of
thousands, the number rising daily, is okay?
The moral
impact of the "COVID" scare has been incalculable more destructive
than the pathogen.
US - CDC's VAERS data released August 6,
2021 showed 12,366 deaths and 618,648 adverse reactions plus
an additional 1000 deaths of fetuses by spontaneous abortion and miscarriage
following the injections. 50% of adverse reactions resulted in
hospitalization and long term disabilities. **
EU through July 26 , 2021 Eudravigilance, the European
Database of Adverse reactions to Covid vaccines, lists 20,595 DEAD, 1,960.607
Injured 950,000 of those injured were hospitalized. following injections
of the four experimental COVID-19 shots.
UK Through June 23, a total of 1403
deaths and 1,007,253 injuries recorded following the experimental COVID
injections
* EU There are 23 nations in Europe not included in the
EU. We do not have data from them. likewise, no data from Japan, China, Asia,
Africa or South America. No data likewise from British Commonwealth
countries.
** US There are 168,564 reports that have been
submitted to VAERS but not yet added to the database A CDC employee
whistleblower stated in court under oath that the actual death toll from Covid
vaccines in the US as of July 23 was 45,000, currently as of August 6 total is
51,537 and over 3 million adverse reactions. Harvard University medical
statisticians put the actual death toll from Covid vaccines in the US alone at
500,000, three times that number in the EU and UK combined. They estimate that
only 1% to 10% of deaths and injuries are reported to VAERS or released by
VAERS to the public. The CDC has 13 separate reporting systems, but only VAERS
can be accessed by the public. Their private data is never released.
"If a million people die from the vaccines it will
still be worth it" " Bill Gates.
(How about three million, Bill. Still worth it?
How about 12 million deaths worldwide? How about 7 billion dead over the
next two years ? Your depopulation- eugenicist wet dream . The question we all

"That's
not just disturbing. It's criminal": It wasn't COVID-19 that killed so
many Americans last year. It was REMDESEVIR, prescribed by Dr. Fauci—who KNEW
that it was highly dangerous by Mark Crispin Miller (07 Aug 2021 20:02 EDT)
This is a
major scandal, exposed a week ago, and yet "our free press"
has not reported it. This makes them accomplices of Dr. Fauci, who should be
under indictment for his witting recommendation of a drug so dangerous that it had
to be withdrawn from its first trial.
And that's
the least of it. That whole operation was devised to boost the number of
"COVID cases"—a spike that was incentivized by CDC
(as Dr. Ardis explains in this video).

Why new Lebanon war would 'inflame entire Middle
East'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7boewYjIKPo
from RT
(25:47)
We examine
the disturbing momentum of the fatal and escalating violence unfolding between
Israel and Lebanon. Meanwhile Israel has turned renewed attention on resolving the
threat posed by Iran and its proxy forces once and for all. RT America’s John
Huddy sets the scene and discusses his own experience reporting extensively in
the troubled region. Then former Pentagon official Michael Maloof joins to
discuss the possibilities of a third Lebanon War and why such a conflict would
certainly inflame the entire Middle East and bring tremendous carnage and
devastation. (04:42) Then RT’s
Peter Oliver reports from France on the introduction of controversial new rules
to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, which include mandatory vaccines for medical
workers and mandatory health passes to prevent the unvaccinated from entering
bars, restaurants, long-distance trains, hospitals and more, limit meaningful
participation in society to those who have been vaccinated.(12:30) A
disturbing prevalence of abuse of data among Google employees has come to
light. Google has said 36 employees were “coached” in proper use of sensitive
data. Problem solved? RT America’s Natasha Sweatte reports before Lionel of
Lionel Media joins with a message of doom. (16:12) The
breathtaking ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru have long been considered a window
into the might and splendor of the Incan Empire of which the city was part. But
the results of a new study suggest that its founding occurred significantly
earlier than scholars believed, helping to explain the impressive height
attained by this vanished civilization. Sayeh Tavangar has the details. (22:50)

Investigative
journalist Azmat Khan, who has reported extensively in Afghanistan, says
President Joe Biden has not yet addressed the chaos unleashed by the collapse
of the Afghan government. In remarks on Monday, Biden “really focused on the
decision to end the war” and ignored criticism about chaos at the Kabul airport
and the abandonment of thousands of Afghans who helped the U.S. over the last
20 years. “None of that was really discussed in any detail,” Khan says. She also
discusses why the Afghan military fell so quickly to the Taliban, its
overreliance on U.S. air power, how civilian casualties weakened support for
the U.S.-backed government, and the massive profits the two-decade-long war
generated for U.S. defense contractors.

MASS PSYCHOSIS:
“How an Entire Population Becomes Mentally Ill”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09maaUaRT4M
( 22 minutes)
This is a superb, educational, animated
video that explains how successive derangement syndromes have infected the
populace writ large.
The psychosis we are living through right now most visibly
surfaced in the US with the gateway mental virus – Trump Derangement Syndrome –
followed by Covid Derangement Syndrome, then the long-gestating Woke
Derangement Syndrome. Next it metastasized to easily-induced derangement
narratives such as the 2020 “fair” election, “domestic terrorism,” vaxxines,
and who knows what next.
People have been so thoroughly broken down at this point,
masses of them believe/obey virtually any decree our overlords fear-porn them
into. The video primarily attributes much of modern psychosis to
television and social media. I would add fourth gen mind control weaponry,
arsenal that might well not be revealed for years to come.
The video also explains how both individually and
collectively as a society we can break out of a psychotic state. I’d like to
think that those of us who never succumbed to any of the derangement syndromes
must surely be of strong, grounded, healthy-minded stock, innately or
otherwise. IMO, each one of us is worth, say, 60,000 of their walking
braindead.
We are in the throes of a global totalitarian coup d’etat
that is purposefully practicing sophisticated applied
behavior psychology
on the populace. To counter this war on humanity, it is incumbent on those of
us who are strong to fully activate the oppositional tactics outlined in the
video. They said the most important one was “concerted action.”

U.S. and Allies Ramp Up Reckless Provocations Towards China
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/56693.htm
Editorial
Washington’s global
ambitions are predicated totally on an adversarial agenda.
"Strategic Culture
Foundation " The United States
and its allies are on an ever-quickening collision course with China that runs
the risk of inciting an all-out war. These reckless, unrelenting provocations
are arguably bordering on criminal aggression.
This week saw Washington announcing a $750 million
weapons sale to Taiwan, the island territory which is recognized
internationally as an integral part of the People’s Republic of China since the
victory of the 1949 civil war. As Beijing angrily remarked in reaction, the
proposed arms deal blatantly undermines China’s sovereignty and national
security. It also seems a calculated move to destabilize the region. The supply
of American weaponry to Taiwan – the first such deal under the Biden
administration – will likely embolden separatist factions on the island to
declare independence from China. In that event, Beijing has warned that it will
militarily invade the territory and reclaim authority. That would inevitably
throw China and the United States into direct conflict since the latter has
made controversial declarations to “defend Taiwan”.

2020: A PROPAGANDA MASTERPIECE
PART TWO - Divide & Conquer
https://www.thepressandthepublic.com/post/perspectives-on-the-pandemic-xviii
conversation with Mark Crispin Miller,
Professor of Media Studies at New York University
Interviewed by John Kirby
(37:21)
“The conscious
and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses
is an important element in democratic society,” wrote Edward Bernays, the
father of modern propaganda. In Episode 18 of Perspectives on the Pandemic,
“Divide and Conquer”, Professor Mark Crispin Miller discusses in-depth the
media’s “conscious and intelligent manipulation” of major events arising after
the COVID rollout in the West. From the corporate hijack of the Black Lives
Matter movement, to the fraudulent suppression of life-saving Covid treatments,
to the “coup” on January 6th, Miller makes the case that the establishment
seeks to inflame a fractured country. Masked vs. unmasked, vaxxed vs. unvaxxed,
Red vs. Blue: the ultimate losers of this pro-wrestling drama may be both
democracy and science.

The Most Highly Educated Americans
Are Also the Most Likely To Be Vaccine
When it
comes to who’s hesitant to take a COVID-19 vaccine, it’s the most highly
educated Americans who “probably” or “definitely” aren’t planning on getting
it, a new study found.
Researchers
at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh said, ““It finds
that the association between hesitancy and education level follows a U-shaped
curve with the highest hesitancy among those least and most educated. People
[with] a master’s degree had the least hesitancy, and the highest hesitancy was
among those holding a Ph.D.”
The
researchers’ findings correlate with a 2009 study in BMC Pediatrics that found
that parents who refused vaccines for their children “reside in well-educated,
higher-income areas than non-refusers.”

Are COVID Shots
Fueling More Dangerous Mutations?
analysis by
Dr. Joseph Mercola (Fact
Checked)
(video,
6:29)
Story
at-a-glance
Will
mass injections against COVID-19 encourage the mutation of more dangerous
versions of SARS-CoV-2? In the video above, WhatsHerFace questions why the U.K.
government is procuring 6 million pounds’ worth of body bags, or
“temporary body storage,” even as government officials announce that the
current vaccination rate has “created a protective wall” against the infection.1
If
that’s true, why are they expecting an “excess death scenario” requiring
massive numbers of body bags? The procurement agreement will remain in effect
for a period of four years. Does the U.K. government know something they’re not
sharing with the public?
Have
they peeked at the actual science and realized that mass vaccination during an
active pandemic might encourage mutations that evade vaccine-induced defenses,
or that the gene-modifying injections might render the vaccinated more
susceptible to serious illness and death through a mechanism known as
antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) or the more descriptive term, paradoxical
immune enhancement (PIE)?
Where Are the Variants Coming From,
and Why Now?
WhatsHerFace
highlights some of the answers given by health professionals on social media
when asked why no problematic variants emerged during the first year, when no
COVID injections were available, and only popped up after the mass injection
campaign started.
According
to one such answer, “Our surveillance sucked in the beginning and it takes time
for variants to come about but once they come they become rampant.”
Interestingly, as noted in a February 15, 2021, article in The Conversation,2 variants with
“measurably different behavior” did not emerge until mid-December 2020, which
just so happens to be the exact time at which the first COVID shots were rolled
out.
Fact
checkers have tried to debunk any connection between COVID shot rollouts and the
emergence of variants by showing that variants were identified in various areas
before the shots were introduced in those same regions. However, as noted by
WhatsHerFace, vaccine makers were conducting large-scale trials in those areas
well before the shots became available to the public.
For
example, Pfizer enrolled more than 46,000 participants in the U.S., Argentina,
Brazil, South Africa, Germany and Turkey,3 and
Oxford/AstraZeneca injected 23,000 participants in the U.K., Brazil and South
Africa.
“Now this is
very interesting,” WhatsHerFace says, “because you’ll actually find that
each of the areas where variants first emerged just happen to be the same
countries where the trials took place.”
The Backstory of the Delta Variant
The
Delta variant (B.1.617.2) was initially identified in India December 1 and 11,
2020. While the COVID jabs were not rolled out in India until mid-January 2021,
Phase 3 trials for Biotech’s Covaxin were initiated in Bharat, India, November
16, 2020. By December 22, 2020, 22,500 volunteers had received the jab.
On
a side note, the Indian government released Covaxin to the public before Phase
3 trials were completed and in the absence of any safety or efficacy data.
According to some vaccinologists, the emergence of potentially more problematic
variants following mass vaccination rollouts during an active pandemic is
precisely what you’d expect.
Dr.
Geert Vanden Bosche,4 whose resume includes work with GSK Biologicals, Novartis
Vaccines, Solvay Biologicals and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
published an open letter5 to the World Health Organization, March 6, 2021.
In
the letter, Bosche warned that implementing a global mass vaccination campaign
during the height of the pandemic could create an “uncontrollable monster”
where evolutionary pressure will force the emergence of new and potentially
more dangerous mutations.
“There can
be no doubt that continued mass vaccination campaigns will enable new, more
infectious viral variants to become increasingly dominant and ultimately result
in a dramatic incline in new cases despite enhanced vaccine coverage rates.
There can be no doubt either that this situation will soon lead to complete
resistance of circulating variants to the current vaccines,” Bossche
wrote.6
‘Leaky’ Vaccines Promote Mutations
In
short, when vaccines that don’t provide robust immunity are overused, they
allow viruses to mutate in potentially hazardous ways. When you overuse an
antibiotic that fails to eradicate the bacteria, antibiotic-resistant bacteria
are allowed to flourish.
In
the same way, overuse of a vaccine that doesn’t provide immunity can allow the
virus to mutate inside vaccinated individuals into variants that evade
vaccine-induced immunity.
And,
as we already know, the COVID shots do not prevent infection or transmission,
hence the variants created inside vaccinated individuals will spread, attacking
both vaccinated and unvaccinated alike. This hypothesis was confirmed in a 2015
study7 in PLOS
Biology, which found that “imperfect vaccination can enhance the transmission
of highly virulent pathogens.” As explained by the authors:8
“There is a
theoretical expectation that some types of vaccines could prompt the evolution
of more virulent (‘hotter’) pathogens. This idea follows from the notion that
natural selection removes pathogen strains that are so ‘hot’ that they kill
their hosts and, therefore, themselves.
Vaccines
that let the hosts survive but do not prevent the spread of the pathogen relax
this selection, allowing the evolution of hotter pathogens to occur. This type
of vaccine is often called a leaky vaccine. When vaccines prevent transmission,
as is the case for nearly all vaccines used in humans, this type of evolution
towards increased virulence is blocked.
But when
vaccines leak, allowing at least some pathogen transmission, they could create
the ecological conditions that would allow hot strains to emerge and persist.
This theory
proved highly controversial when it was first proposed over a decade ago, but
here we report experiments with Marek’s disease virus in poultry that show that
modern commercial leaky vaccines can have precisely this effect: they allow the
onward transmission of strains otherwise too lethal to persist.
Thus, the
use of leaky vaccines can facilitate the evolution of pathogen strains that put
unvaccinated hosts at greater risk of severe disease.”
This
research was reported in a number of mainstream media publications, including
Live Science,9 Newsweek10 and
National Geographic.11 Quanta Magazine also took a deep dive into it in May 2018,
closing the article with the following observation:12
“… the most
crucial need right now is for vaccine scientists to recognize the relevance of
evolutionary biology to their field. Last month, when more than 1,000 vaccine scientists
gathered in Washington, D.C., at the World Vaccine Congress, the issue of
vaccine-induced evolution was not the focus of any scientific sessions.
Part of the
problem, [disease ecologist Andrew] Read says, is that researchers are afraid:
They’re nervous to talk about and call attention to potential evolutionary
effects because they fear that doing so might fuel more fear and distrust of
vaccines by the public …”
The
COVID shots, which do not make you immune against the virus but rather only
lessen symptoms of infection, are a perfect example of leaky vaccines that can
allow the virus to mutate within the mildly ill host, who then transmits the
mutated virus to others. In this way, the shots can fuel a never-ending chain
of outbreaks.
NPR Highlights How Vaccines Drive
Viral Evolution
In
a February 9, 2021, article,13 NPR
highlighted this risk, stating that “vaccines could drive the evolution of more
COVID-19 mutants.” According to NPR science correspondent Richard Harris, “the
virus is always mutating. And if one happens to produce a mutation that makes
it less vulnerable to the vaccine, that virus could simply multiply in a
vaccinated individual.”
Simply
having a virus mutating inside you isn’t necessarily dangerous, however. The
viral load also plays an important role in determining how potentially
dangerous a vaccinated individual who carries a mutation might be. If your
viral load is low, the risk of you transmitting the mutated virus to others is
also low. If your viral load is high, then the risk of transmission increases
accordingly.
When
it comes to the Delta variant, there’s bad news for those who have received one
or more COVID shots, as research14 shows fully
vaccinated individuals who develop breakthrough infections with the Delta
variant have the same viral loads as unvaccinated individuals who are infected
with this virus. As reported by Reuters August 2, 2021:15
“Among
people infected by the Delta variant of the coronavirus, fully vaccinated people
with ‘breakthrough’ infections may be just as likely as unvaccinated people to
spread the virus to others, new research suggests. The higher the amount of
coronavirus in the nose and throat, the more likely the patient will infect
others.
In one Wisconsin
county, after Delta became predominant, researchers analyzed16 viral
loads on nose-and-throat swab samples obtained when patients were first
diagnosed. They found similar viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated
patients, with levels often high enough to allow shedding of infectious virus.
‘A key
assumption’ underlying current regulations aimed at slowing COVID-19
transmission ‘is that those who are vaccinated are at very low risk of
spreading the virus to others,’ said study coauthor Katarina Grande of Public
Health Madison & Dane County in Madison, Wisconsin.
The
findings, however, indicate ‘that vaccinated people should take steps to
prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus to others,’ she added.”
Lambda Variant Shows Signs of
Vaccine Resistance
The
latest coronavirus on the block is Lambda, which was first identified in Peru.
It’s now spreading through South America. Like the Delta variant, Lambda is
more infectious than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. Unlike Delta, it appears
more resistant to vaccine-induced antibodies.
According
to Reuters,17 three spike protein mutations “help it resist
neutralization by vaccine-induced antibodies.” While some claim the emergence
of Delta and Lambda is justification for a third booster shot, Rockefeller
University researchers point out that a third dose might raise the number of
antibodies, but it won’t improve their ability to neutralize viruses.18,19
If
a third dose can’t neutralize any of the variants any better than two doses,
then we’re back at the beginning of this vicious cycle where imperfect
neutralization drives additional mutation.
The
Rockefeller University paper also highlights the superior protection offered by
natural immunity, which is what you get after you’ve recovered from an
infection. According to the authors, “memory antibodies selected over time by
natural infection have greater potency and breadth than antibodies elicited by
vaccination.”
Most
of the identified cases of Covid-19 in a Barnstable County, Massachusetts,
town, in July (74%) were among fully vaccinated people. Most, but not all, had
the Delta variant. Additionally, four of five hospitalized patients were fully
vaccinated. Only one was not fully vaccinated. ~ Sharyl Attkisson
For
transparency, one of the coauthors, Michel Nussenzweig, told Reuters that if an
updated injection capable of protecting against one or more specific variants
were to become available, “then that would be the choice."
I
mention that, because the competing interest statement on that paper reveals
the Rockefeller University “has filed a provisional patent application in
connection with this work … (US patent 63/021,387). The patent has been
licensed by Rockefeller University to Bristol Meyers Squib.”
An
identical competing interest statement can also be found on other recent
papers, including a preprint paper20 titled
“Development of Potency, Breadth and Resilience to Viral Escape Mutations in
SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibodies.”
At
the time of writing, I got nothing but error messages when trying to access the
U.S. patent office to confirm what U.S. patent 63/021,387 might be, but based
on the papers bearing this competing interest statement, it sounds like the
Rockefeller University might be patenting a new COVID shot against variants.
First COVID Shots Appear Ineffective
Against Newer Variants
At
the same time that Moderna and Pfizer raise prices on their individual COVID
shots by 10% and 25% respectively,21 evidence of
their ineffectiveness continues to mount.
In
a July 30, 2021, report,22 Sharyl Attkisson cited data23 from the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which show that 74% of
COVID-19 diagnoses in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, between July 6 through
July 25, 2021, and 80% of hospitalizations, were among the fully vaccinated.
“The report
contradicts multiple false reports that have claimed the vaccines are ‘100%
effective’ in preventing hospitalization,” Attkisson writes.24
“It also
contradicts false reports that have implied vaccinated people are not spreading
Covid-19. According to CDC, the fully vaccinated are showing just as high of a
‘viral load’ as unvaccinated people who get infected.
CDC
published new data25 on the topic in its weekly report.
It says that most of the identified cases of Covid-19 in a Barnstable County,
Massachusetts, town, in July (74%) were among fully vaccinated people.
Most, but
not all, had the Delta variant. Additionally, four of five hospitalized
patients were fully vaccinated. Only one was not fully vaccinated. Today, CDC also
acknowledged that Covid-19 viral load is ‘similarly high’ in both vaccinated
and unvaccinated people. That's a result, say officials, of the Delta variant.
From the
start, virologists said that there would be natural variants to Covid-19. They
also accurately predicted that effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines would wear
down in a matter of months, not years. Now, CDC is confirming that the current
Covid-19 vaccines are not working effectively against Covid-19.
In contrast,
the millions of Americans who have fought off Covid-19 infections, either with
or without symptoms, are proving to have greater and longer lasting immunity,
so far, than those who have been vaccinated. That, too, was predicted by
virologists.”
Americans
are now told the Delta variant is a pandemic among the unvaccinated, even
though the data doesn’t support this claim. The CDC appears to be trying to
prop up this narrative by not reporting breakthrough infections in vaccinated
individuals unless they are hospitalized or die.
Even
then, they acknowledge them only if they have a positive PCR test run at a
cycle threshold (CT) below 28,26 whereas
unvaccinated people are still tested at a CT of 40 or above. The higher the CT,
the greater the chance of a false positive.
Israeli Data Show Waning
Effectiveness of Pfizer Shot
Israel
is now recommending a third booster shot for people over the age of 60, as data27 show the
Pfizer injection is only 39% effective (relative risk reduction) against the Delta
variant, down from 64% relative effectiveness two weeks earlier.
As
of August 2, 2021, 66.9% of Israelis had received at least one dose of Pfizer’s
injection; 62.2% had received two doses.28 A day
earlier, August 1, director of Israel’s Public Health Services, Dr. Sharon
Alroy-Preis, announced half of all COVID-19 infections were among the fully
vaccinated.29 Signs of more serious disease among fully vaccinated are
also emerging, she said, particularly in those over the age of 60.
Alternative Treatments
In
closing, remember there are several different treatment protocols for COVID-19
that appear just as effective for variants as for the original virus, including
the following:

COVID Vaccine Mandates Strongly
Opposed in Europe, US as Failures Increase
Analysis by
Barbara Loe Fisher
(video,
6:37)
Since
coronavirus pandemic lockdowns were implemented by many governments in 2020, people
around the world have held largely peaceful protests against unprecedented
social distancing restrictions that are devastating global economies and
ruining people's lives.1,2,3,4
Now, faced
with being ordered to obey new laws that require them to be injected with
COVID-19 vaccines in order to enter public spaces or hold a job, on July 24,
2021 — World Freedom Day — hundreds of thousands of people of all ages took to
the streets in Australia, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Greece and Germany to
publicly challenge oppressive public health laws.5,6
The messages
on the signs they held were diverse but they were united in pushing back
against government overreach.
The brave
determination of people, in democracies around the world who are publicly
defending civil liberties — freedom of thought, speech, conscience and assembly
— and the human right to informed consent to medical risk taking, demonstrates
that the spirit of freedom lives in the hearts and minds of people everywhere.
Both those who gather in the public squares of cities big and small and those
who are watching are inspired by this commitment to defending liberty.
In the
United States, no large demonstrations have been held yet, but polls reveal the
nation is sharply divided about COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
A
Politico/Harvard poll taken in late June 2021 found that Americans were evenly
split on whether children should be required to get the COVID-19 vaccine to go
to school and more than half of employed Americans are against COVID-19 vaccine
requirements for holding a job, while almost 70 percent of Americans oppose
being required to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination to enter a store or
business.7
A recent CS
Mott Children's Hospital poll found that more than half of parents in the U.S.
with children between the ages of three and 11 say it is unlikely they will
give their children the COVID-19 vaccine.8
Australia: 'The lockdown Is Killing
Us, Not COVID'
With a
population of 25 million people, Australians have been subjected to repeated
strict lockdowns over the past 18 months and the government's "stay at
home" lockdown in early July 2021 was imposed on New South Wales, Victoria
and South Australia, where more than half the country's population lives. The
30-day rigid social distancing restrictions were enacted after 176 new daily
infections were registered in the whole country.9
In response,
thousands of Australians gathered in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane on July 24
to protest the lockdown.
Social
distancing restrictions that have been imposed include compulsory masking in
all indoor non-personal residence settings; most schools closed; restrictions
on how far people can travel from their homes; no going to work except for
designated "essential" employees (who must be tested every three
days); exercising and gathering outside only in groups of two; shopping only
for essential items; attendance at funerals limited to 10 people but weddings
are banned, and other limits on person-to-person social interaction.
In what the
U.K. newspaper Daily Mail described as "frenzied crowds" coming
together on July 24, there were estimates that as many as 10,000 protesters
marched from Victoria Park to Town Hall in the central business district.
Carrying
signs calling for "freedom" and "the truth" and "I
don't consent" and "Wake up Australia!" and "We are your
employers, we are not your slaves" and "unmasked, untested, unvaxxed,
unafraid" and "I am not a biohazard" and "Our kids are not
your guinea pigs" and "No false tests, no false cases, no
lockdowns," one protester said, "We don't give a f*** mate, this
lockdown is killing us." Another agreed: "I'm against lockdowns,
they're killing my business."
Dozens of
protesters climbed onto the roofs of a train station and Woolworths store as
the crowd gathered around Town Hall singing the Australian national anthem. One
observer said on social media, "Protest stretches right down Broadway!
Absolutely massive turnout."
The Sydney
protest was mostly peaceful but when mounted police told the demonstrators to
disperse or they would be pepper sprayed, some broke through a police barrier
and threw plastic bottles and plants at officers. The New South Wales Police
Minister confirmed 57 people were arrested and charged and a "strike force
has been established to investigate who was in attendance."10
On July 28,
the Australian Prime Minister called in military personnel to help enforce
social distancing restrictions in Sydney and extended the lockdown for another
month after 239 new cases of COVID-19 were detected in the city of five million
people within a 24-hour period. Residents will be forced to wear a mask outside
their homes and must stay within 3 miles of their homes, only going out for
"essential" activities like food shopping.11
On July 30,
the Australian government used helicopters and the Army to help police enforce
its 'Zero Covid' lockdown in Sydney and issue $500 fines for failure to mask.12 The BBC reported that Australian Defense Force
soldiers will begin conducting unarmed patrols of the streets this week.13
According to
media reports, sirens could be heard throughout the city and helicopters blared
messages that 'this is public health order — do not break rules — you will be
found and fined.'
Road blocks
were set up in a military show of force in response to the public
demonstrations earlier in the week, although soldiers are under police command.
Starting this week, military personnel will accompany police going door to door
to ensure that people who have tested positive for COVID-19 are isolating.14
Reuters
reports that the Australian COVID-19 vaccination rate for adults stands at 18
percent and the Prime Minister has said 80 percent of adults must get
vaccinated before the border, which has been sealed since the pandemic began,
will be re-opened.15
Britain: 'No Forced Testing, No
Forced Vaccines'
In May 2021,
a 12 mile procession of tens of thousands of people ended at Parliament Square
in a protest against continuing lockdowns and vaccine passports as a condition
of accessing public venues.16
On July 19,
the British government lifted the COVID-19 lockdown that had been in place for
over a year, eliminating masking requirements, work from home, and limits on
numbers of people who can gather together, which allowed for the full opening
of restaurants and other public venues without social distancing restrictions.17
Just five
days after the lockdown restrictions were lifted, thousands of people made
their way to Trafalgar Square on July 24 to signal their opposition to
potential future lockdowns, as well as to protest against the showing of
COVID-19 vaccine passports as a condition of entering public spaces.18
There were
banners draped in front of the speaker podium saying, "the public demands
live debate" and "Science is not science without discussion" and
demonstrators held signs that said "No forced testing, no forced
vaccines" and "We are the lions in a world of sheep" and
"If you tolerate this, your children will be next."19
Toward the
end of the July 24 demonstration, the huge gathering in Trafalgar Square in unison sang, "You'll Never Walk Alone:"
When you
walk through a storm
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on
through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, Walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.
The United
Kingdom, which has a population of 57 million, ranks in the top 20 most COVID
vaccinated nations, with an adult vaccination rate of over 57 percent.20
France: 'My Body Is Mine' and 'It Is
My Choice'
Paris,
France and the cities of Marseille, Montpelier, Nantes and Toulouse saw tens of
thousands of people take to the streets on World Freedom Day to protest against
a proposed law that would require all health care workers to get COVID-19
vaccinations or lose their jobs.
People will
be barred from entering restaurants or other public venues, effectively preventing
them from participating in public life unless they have a health pass showing
proof of COVID-19 vaccination, recovery from the disease or a recent negative
COVID-19 test.
A care
assistant at a Strasbourg nursing home expressed her disgust with the proposed
law, saying it is "the blackmail of caregivers who were at the fronts line
during the first wave and who are now threatened with "no more pay"
and even being fired."21
A huge crowd
of 160,000 people or more, many chanting "freedom, freedom" and carrying
signs saying "stop the dictatorship" and "Big Pharma shackles
freedom" and "no to the pass of shame" and "vaccines: fake
freedom" and "don't touch our children" were met by police
deploying tear gas and a water cannon used against some of them.22
Reuters
reported that scuffles broke out at the Champs-Elysees and the Gare
Saint-Lazare railway station.23 The demonstrators met at the Bastille plaza and marched through eastern
Paris and also gathered at Place Trocadero near the Eiffel Tower to protest the
required carrying of a "health pass."24
Just two
days after witnessing several hundred thousand people voicing their opposition
to the proposed new public health law, on July 26, the French Parliament voted
to pass the law that will take effect this week.25,26
Five days
later, on July 31, several hundred thousand French citizens of all ages again
flooded into the streets of Paris with signs saying "We are not guinea
pigs" and "It is our choice" and "My body is mine" and
"Health terror — I will not submit" and "the 4th wave is
us" in opposition to the new COVID-19 vaccine and vaccine passport.27
According to
media reports, four marches dovetailed into the Place de la Bastille, with
health care workers in white coats leading some of them, and were met by waiting
squads of gendarmes and CRS riot police with water cannons. Demonstrators also
gathered at the Arc de Triomphe at the top of the Champs-Elysees and at the
Villiers metro station in northwest Paris.
Reportedly,
about 150 other protest events also took place in cities around France, which
has a population of about 67 million and an estimated COVID vaccination rate of
about 47.5 percent28 or more.
Italy: 'Enough Dictatorship: No
Green Passes'
Thousands of
people gathered in Rome, Genova, Milan, Naples, Turin and scores of other
cities in Italy on July 24 to voice their opposition to the government's
imposition of social distancing and COVID-19 vaccine requirements on citizens,
including a requirement to carry the "Green Pass," which is an extension
of the European Union's digital COVID certificate.29
The Green
Pass will be required to enter cinemas, museums, indoor swimming pools, sports
stadiums or eat indoors at restaurants, proving that a person has been
vaccinated, has had a recent negative COVID-19 test or has recovered from the
coronavirus infection.30
Chanting and
carrying signs that said "Freedom" and "No Green Pass" and
"Down with the dictatorship" and "Better to die free than live
like slaves" and "against vaccination obligations" and
"government does terrorism" and "shame-shame,"31,32 reportedly about 80 cities in Italy
saw demonstrations on World Freedom Day.
These
included an estimated nine thousand people in Milan, who marched in procession
to the Piazza Duomo, the Galleria Vittoria Emanuele and to the Piazza Scala in
front of the Town Hall. One banner said "Big Pharma out of the state. No
to multinationals."
About five
thousand people gathered in Piazza Castello in Turin with signs that said
"We want to have the freedom to choose – the freedom to go wherever we
want without being tied to a sheet."
In Rome,
where there have been anti-lockdown demonstrations over the past year to
protest then closure of cafes, bars and restaurants,33 an estimated two thousand demonstrated and the police
intervened to disperse the crowd with armored vehicles.34 Italy has a population of about 60 million people,
with nearly 52 percent vaccinated for COVID-19.35
Greece: 'Hands Off Our Children'
Thousands of
people gathered in Omonia Square in the center of Athens on July 24 to express
their opposition to the government's COVID-19 vaccine mandate. They carried
signs saying "No mandatory vaccinations" and "No blackmail to
dismiss" and "No separation of Greeks" and "hands off our
children."
The leader
of the anti-COVID vaccine movement in Greece, cardiologist Faidon Vovolis, MD
addressed the huge crowd, which, according to Athens News, included "not
only anti-vaccination activists, but also food and tourism entrepreneurs,
clergy, citizens disaffected by the overall government leadership over the
pandemic, and vaccinated citizens who view recent government measures as
anti-democractic."36
Greek police
used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the demonstrators, who had rallied
outside the Parliament building to protest COVID-19 vaccine requirements for
workers, such as health care workers. Reuters said that about 45 percent of
Greece's 11 million population is already vaccinated.37
Germany: 'For Peace, Freedom, Truth'
Berlin has
been the site of several large demonstrations against lockdowns and COVID
vaccine passports over the past year.38 On Aug. 1, 2021, tens of thousands of citizens marched in the streets of
Berlin to protest lockdowns that have restricted dining indoors at restaurants
or staying in a hotel and requirements to provide proof of COVID vaccination,
defying a ban by German lower and upper administrative courts on public
demonstrations.39
Berlin's
administrative court had refused to authorize 13 demonstrations, some of which
had been organized by the Querdenker (Lateral thinker) anti-lockdown movement.40
Berlin's
police department deployed more than 2,000 officers armed with batons, pepper
spray and water cannon as the crowds made their way from Berlin's Charlottenburg
neighborhood, past the Tiergarten park and on to the Brandenberg Gate.
Reportedly,
police in heavily armed vans dragged protesters across roads and into the vans
with marchers shouting for freedom and the lifting of mandatory masking and travel
bans. Protesters continued to march in the evening through the city streets and
600 people were arrested.41 Germany
has a population of 83 million and 52 percent have been fully vaccinated.42
Human Rights Watch: COVID-19
Triggers Wave of Free Speech Abuse
On Feb. 11,
2021, Human Rights Watch published a report called for an end to excessive
restrictions on free speech and peaceful demonstration where people are
criticizing COVID-19 lockdowns, mandatory masking and other social distancing
regulations that restrict civil liberties. The human rights organization said:43
"At
least 83 governments worldwide have used the Covid-19 pandemic to justify
violating the exercise of free speech and peaceful assembly … Authorities have
attacked, detained, prosecuted, and in some cases killed critics, broken up
peaceful protests, closed media outlets, and enacted vague laws criminalizing
speech that they claim threatens public health.
The
victims include journalists, activists, healthcare workers, political
opposition groups, and others who have criticized government responses to the
coronavirus … Governments and other state authorities should immediately end
excessive restrictions on free speech in the name of preventing the spread of
Covid-19."
Decentralized Government in US Makes
a National COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate More Difficult
Unlike
centralized governments in Europe and many other parts of the world, the
founders of the United States of America ensured in the U.S. Constitution that
this country would operate with lawmaking power shared between national, state
and local governments.44
The fact
that lawmaking power in the U.S. does not solely reside with the federal
government, which is composed of the legislative (U.S. Congress), Executive
(President/federal agencies) and Judicial (federal courts) branches, so far has
protected the U.S. population from being subjected to the same kinds of uniform
lockdown restrictions and now, the same kinds of COVID-19 vaccine mandates that
are being implemented in European Union countries and other nations with
centralized federal governments.
Since most
public health laws in the U.S. fall under the legal jurisdiction of states, if
a resident does not like the lockdown, masking, social distancing or COVID-19
vaccine mandates in the state they are living in, they simply can move to a
different state that does not have the same kind of oppressive public health
laws.
This is one
reason why, although there have been smaller anti-lockdown and anti-COVID-19
vaccine mandate demonstrations in the U.S. over the past 15 months, some of
them protesting COVID-19 vaccine requirements for health care workers,45 so far there have not been massive national
demonstrations in the U.S. like those taking place in Europe and other parts of
the world.
U.S. Government Pushes for an 85
Percent COVID-19 Vaccination Rate
As of July
28, about 60 percent of the U.S. population of 332 million people age 12 and
older had received at least one dose of COVID vaccine and reportedly 50
percent, or about 165 million Americans, are "fully" vaccinated.46 As the third largest country in the world, the U.S.
has a high COVID-19 vaccination rate compared to other countries, with only 25
countries recording a higher vaccination rate than the U.S.47
According to
Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center, the country with the
largest population in the world at 1.5 billion people — China — has a 16
percent COVID vaccination rate; the country with the second largest population
in the world at 1.4 billion people — India — has a 7.4 percent COVID
vaccination rate; and Russia, with a population of 146 million people, has a 17
COVID vaccination rate.48
However,
U.S. government officials are pushing for an 85 percent COVID vaccination rate
in the U.S.,49 even as a former FDA commissioner
says that a combination of natural acquired immunity and vaccine acquired
immunity is likely rapidly achieving an 85 percent herd immunity rate with the
Delta variant in the U.S. population.50
Half to Two-Thirds of Americans
Oppose Punitive COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates as Companies Begin to Mandate
Even though
polls show that one-half to two-thirds of Americans oppose COVID-19 vaccine
mandates, depending upon the setting,51 on July 29, the President announced that all federal workers and
contractors must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or mask and social distance
at all times and get constantly tested.52
The federal
government also is urging corporations, local and state government agencies,
medical facilities and other institutions to make vaccination a condition of
employment.
Some
companies, like Google, Facebook, Morgan Stanley, Ascension Health, The
Washington Post, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lyft and Uber, Walmart and Disney have
already mandated employees to get COVID-19 shots to continuing working for the
companies.53,54 On July 30, Broadway theaters
announced that all members of the audience will be required to show proof of
COVID-19 vaccination and must keep a mask on at all times except when eating or
drinking.55
Opposition Grows as CDC Admits Fully
Vaccinated Persons Can Get and Efficiently Transmit COVID-19
After
lifting national masking recommendations for COVID vaccinated persons in May
2021 with the assurance that the vaccine was effective in preventing
symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection,56 on July 27, CDC officials abruptly reversed course and said that
Americans, whether vaccinated or not, should wear a mask indoors outside their
homes in certain places.57,58
They said
they based that policy change on new information that the COVID-19 vaccines do
not reliably prevent infection and transmission of the Delta variant of
SARS-CoV-2 and that the viral load in vaccinated persons who get infected is as
high as the viral load in unvaccinated persons who get infected.59,60
CDC
officials said the new federal indoor masking policy especially applies to
adults in "high risk" areas where there are more people being
infected with the Delta variant. The masking directive also applies to all
unvaccinated children over age two, as well as vaccinated children over age 12
attending school, and additionally includes all teachers, school staff and
visitors to schools whether vaccinated or not.61
Reuters
reported on July 24 that vaccinated people made up 75 percent of recent
COVID-19 cases identified in Singapore, but vaccinated cases were associated
with mild symptoms:
"Of
Singapore's 1,096 locally transmitted infections in the last 28 days, 484 or
about 44 percent were in fully vaccinated people, while 30 percent were
partially vaccinated and just over 25 percent were unvaccinated."62
The
percentage ratio of infected vaccinated to infected unvaccinated persons in
Singapore matches that of a recent SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Massachusetts. On
July 30, Associated Press reported that information in CDC documents revealed
that 75 percent of the Provincetown outbreak occurred among fully vaccinated
individuals.
About 80
percent of them experienced COVID-19 symptoms, with the most common being
cough, headache, sore throat, muscle aches and fever.63
U.S. States Push Back Against COVID-19
Vaccine Mandates
Over the
past year, Americans have been taking action at the state and local level to
block COVID-19 vaccine mandates. A number of states have passed laws that
restrict COVID-19 vaccine mandates and "vaccine passports" that bar people
from entering public spaces.
Among the
states that have passed laws prohibiting COVID-19 vaccine passports or COVID-19
vaccine mandates in some way are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Oklahoma,
Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana,
New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.64,65,66
On July 29,
the Governor of Texas signed an executive order prohibiting state government
agencies from mandating COVID-19 vaccine being distributed under Emergency Use
Authorization (EUA) and banning public or private entities that receive state
funds from denying entry to those who are not vaccinated and, additionally,
banning companies, state and local agencies — including school districts — from
requiring mask wearing.
He said that
Texans, "have the individual right and responsibility to decide for
themselves and their children whether they will wear masks, open their
businesses, and engage in leisure activities."67
Governors of
several other states also have issued executive orders prohibiting COVID-19
vaccine mandates and some local and state governments have prohibited mask
mandates.68,69 But some city and state governments,
like New York City and California, have created legal requirements that force
state employees to get vaccinated as a condition of keeping their jobs.70
On July 26,
the nation's largest healthcare worker union, United Healthcare Workers,
demonstrated in New York City against employee COVID-19 vaccine mandates.71 So far, the COVID-19 vaccine mandate as a condition
of employment is also opposed by the American Postal Workers Union,72 Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, and
United Auto Workers.73
It's Up to You to Act Now
With
military soldiers patrolling the streets in Sydney, Australia and police with
water cannons and tear gas facing tens of thousands of people protesting
against vaccine passports and COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the streets of
London, Paris, Rome, Athens and many other cities in Europe, there should be no
doubt where the enforcement of mandatory vaccination policies are headed in the
U.S. if Americans fail to proactively take action now.
There is no
question that we are dealing with a global assault on civil liberties and human
rights when public discussion and debate about government policy is censored74,75 and peaceful dissent is considered a
crime. Public health laws that respect civil liberties and the informed consent
ethic can only be secured if the lawmakers we elect value civil liberties and
defend informed consent rights. Become fully informed about who you are voting
for and never miss an opportunity to vote.
I and the
supporters of the non-profit charity the National Vaccine Information Center
(NVIC) have worked since 1982 to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths through
public education. We have publicly defended the ethical principle of informed
consent to medical risk taking and other human rights that include freedom of
thought, speech and conscience.
In 2010, we
launched the NVIC Advocacy Portal, a free online communications and
advocacy network to empower Americans to work in their own communities to
secure informed consent protections in public health laws.
Now more
than ever, it is time to get to know your local, county and state elected
representatives – from your school board members and county supervisors to your
local sheriff and lawmakers – who represent you in your local and state
governments. Establish a personal relationship with those who make laws that
govern you and your family.
Have a
conversation with them now about why you believe it is important to protect
civil liberties and vaccine informed consent rights in public health laws.
Provide them with well referenced vaccine information from NVIC.org and register and join with thousands
of others in your state working to protect the legal right to make a voluntary
vaccination decision by becoming a user of the NVIC Advocacy Portal at NVICAdvocacy.org.

Are COVID Shots Fueling More Dangerous Mutations?
by Dr.
Joseph Mercola
Story at-a-glance
Will
mass injections against COVID-19 encourage the mutation of more dangerous
versions of SARS-CoV-2? In the video above, WhatsHerFace questions why the U.K.
government is procuring 6 million pounds’ worth of body bags, or
“temporary body storage,” even as government officials announce that the
current vaccination rate has “created a protective wall” against the infection.1
If
that’s true, why are they expecting an “excess death scenario” requiring
massive numbers of body bags? The procurement agreement will remain in effect
for a period of four years. Does the U.K. government know something they’re not
sharing with the public?
Have
they peeked at the actual science and realized that mass vaccination during an
active pandemic might encourage mutations that evade vaccine-induced defenses,
or that the gene-modifying injections might render the vaccinated more
susceptible to serious illness and death through a mechanism known as
antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) or the more descriptive term, paradoxical
immune enhancement (PIE)?
Where Are the Variants Coming From,
and Why Now?
WhatsHerFace
highlights some of the answers given by health professionals on social media
when asked why no problematic variants emerged during the first year, when no
COVID injections were available, and only popped up after the mass injection
campaign started.
According
to one such answer, “Our surveillance sucked in the beginning and it takes time
for variants to come about but once they come they become rampant.”
Interestingly, as noted in a February 15, 2021, article in The Conversation,2 variants
with “measurably different behavior” did not emerge until mid-December 2020,
which just so happens to be the exact time at which the first COVID shots were
rolled out.
Fact
checkers have tried to debunk any connection between COVID shot rollouts and
the emergence of variants by showing that variants were identified in various
areas before the shots were introduced in those same regions. However, as noted
by WhatsHerFace, vaccine makers were conducting large-scale trials in those
areas well before the shots became available to the public.
For
example, Pfizer enrolled more than 46,000 participants in the U.S., Argentina,
Brazil, South Africa, Germany and Turkey,3 and
Oxford/AstraZeneca injected 23,000 participants in the U.K., Brazil and South
Africa.
“Now this is
very interesting,” WhatsHerFace says, “because you’ll actually find that
each of the areas where variants first emerged just happen to be the same
countries where the trials took place.”
The Backstory of the Delta Variant
The
Delta variant (B.1.617.2) was initially identified in India December 1 and 11, 2020.
While the COVID jabs were not rolled out in India until mid-January 2021, Phase
3 trials for Biotech’s Covaxin were initiated in Bharat, India, November 16,
2020. By December 22, 2020, 22,500 volunteers had received the jab.
On
a side note, the Indian government released Covaxin to the public before Phase
3 trials were completed and in the absence of any safety or efficacy data.
According to some vaccinologists, the emergence of potentially more problematic
variants following mass vaccination rollouts during an active pandemic is
precisely what you’d expect.
Dr.
Geert Vanden Bosche,4 whose resume includes work with GSK Biologicals, Novartis
Vaccines, Solvay Biologicals and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
published an open letter5 to the World Health Organization, March 6, 2021.
In
the letter, Bosche warned that implementing a global mass vaccination campaign
during the height of the pandemic could create an “uncontrollable monster”
where evolutionary pressure will force the emergence of new and potentially
more dangerous mutations.
“There can
be no doubt that continued mass vaccination campaigns will enable new, more
infectious viral variants to become increasingly dominant and ultimately result
in a dramatic incline in new cases despite enhanced vaccine coverage rates.
There can be no doubt either that this situation will soon lead to complete
resistance of circulating variants to the current vaccines,” Bossche
wrote.6
‘Leaky’ Vaccines Promote Mutations
In
short, when vaccines that don’t provide robust immunity are overused, they
allow viruses to mutate in potentially hazardous ways. When you overuse an
antibiotic that fails to eradicate the bacteria, antibiotic-resistant bacteria
are allowed to flourish.
In
the same way, overuse of a vaccine that doesn’t provide immunity can allow the
virus to mutate inside vaccinated individuals into variants that evade
vaccine-induced immunity.
And,
as we already know, the COVID shots do not prevent infection or transmission,
hence the variants created inside vaccinated individuals will spread, attacking
both vaccinated and unvaccinated alike. This hypothesis was confirmed in a 2015
study7 in PLOS
Biology, which found that “imperfect vaccination can enhance the transmission
of highly virulent pathogens.” As explained by the authors:8
“There is a
theoretical expectation that some types of vaccines could prompt the evolution
of more virulent (‘hotter’) pathogens. This idea follows from the notion that
natural selection removes pathogen strains that are so ‘hot’ that they kill
their hosts and, therefore, themselves.
Vaccines
that let the hosts survive but do not prevent the spread of the pathogen relax
this selection, allowing the evolution of hotter pathogens to occur. This type
of vaccine is often called a leaky vaccine. When vaccines prevent transmission,
as is the case for nearly all vaccines used in humans, this type of evolution
towards increased virulence is blocked.
But when
vaccines leak, allowing at least some pathogen transmission, they could create
the ecological conditions that would allow hot strains to emerge and persist.
This theory
proved highly controversial when it was first proposed over a decade ago, but
here we report experiments with Marek’s disease virus in poultry that show that
modern commercial leaky vaccines can have precisely this effect: they allow the
onward transmission of strains otherwise too lethal to persist.
Thus, the
use of leaky vaccines can facilitate the evolution of pathogen strains that put
unvaccinated hosts at greater risk of severe disease.”
This
research was reported in a number of mainstream media publications, including
Live Science,9 Newsweek10 and
National Geographic.11 Quanta Magazine also took a deep dive into it in May 2018,
closing the article with the following observation:12
“… the most
crucial need right now is for vaccine scientists to recognize the relevance of
evolutionary biology to their field. Last month, when more than 1,000 vaccine
scientists gathered in Washington, D.C., at the World Vaccine Congress, the
issue of vaccine-induced evolution was not the focus of any scientific
sessions.
Part of the
problem, [disease ecologist Andrew] Read says, is that researchers are afraid:
They’re nervous to talk about and call attention to potential evolutionary
effects because they fear that doing so might fuel more fear and distrust of
vaccines by the public …”
The
COVID shots, which do not make you immune against the virus but rather only
lessen symptoms of infection, are a perfect example of leaky vaccines that can
allow the virus to mutate within the mildly ill host, who then transmits the
mutated virus to others. In this way, the shots can fuel a never-ending chain
of outbreaks.
NPR Highlights How Vaccines Drive
Viral Evolution
In
a February 9, 2021, article,13 NPR highlighted
this risk, stating that “vaccines could drive the evolution of more COVID-19
mutants.” According to NPR science correspondent Richard Harris, “the virus is
always mutating. And if one happens to produce a mutation that makes it less
vulnerable to the vaccine, that virus could simply multiply in a vaccinated
individual.”
Simply
having a virus mutating inside you isn’t necessarily dangerous, however. The
viral load also plays an important role in determining how potentially
dangerous a vaccinated individual who carries a mutation might be. If your
viral load is low, the risk of you transmitting the mutated virus to others is
also low. If your viral load is high, then the risk of transmission increases
accordingly.
When
it comes to the Delta variant, there’s bad news for those who have received one
or more COVID shots, as research14 shows fully
vaccinated individuals who develop breakthrough infections with the Delta
variant have the same viral loads as unvaccinated individuals who are infected
with this virus. As reported by Reuters August 2, 2021:15
“Among
people infected by the Delta variant of the coronavirus, fully vaccinated
people with ‘breakthrough’ infections may be just as likely as unvaccinated
people to spread the virus to others, new research suggests. The higher the
amount of coronavirus in the nose and throat, the more likely the patient will
infect others.
In one
Wisconsin county, after Delta became predominant, researchers analyzed16 viral loads
on nose-and-throat swab samples obtained when patients were first diagnosed.
They found similar viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated patients, with
levels often high enough to allow shedding of infectious virus.
‘A key
assumption’ underlying current regulations aimed at slowing COVID-19
transmission ‘is that those who are vaccinated are at very low risk of
spreading the virus to others,’ said study coauthor Katarina Grande of Public
Health Madison & Dane County in Madison, Wisconsin.
The findings,
however, indicate ‘that vaccinated people should take steps to prevent the
spread of the COVID-19 virus to others,’ she added.”
Lambda Variant Shows Signs of
Vaccine Resistance
The
latest coronavirus on the block is Lambda, which was first identified in Peru.
It’s now spreading through South America. Like the Delta variant, Lambda is
more infectious than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. Unlike Delta, it appears
more resistant to vaccine-induced antibodies.
According
to Reuters,17 three spike protein mutations “help it resist
neutralization by vaccine-induced antibodies.” While some claim the emergence
of Delta and Lambda is justification for a third booster shot, Rockefeller
University researchers point out that a third dose might raise the number of
antibodies, but it won’t improve their ability to neutralize viruses.18,19
If
a third dose can’t neutralize any of the variants any better than two doses,
then we’re back at the beginning of this vicious cycle where imperfect
neutralization drives additional mutation.
The
Rockefeller University paper also highlights the superior protection offered by
natural immunity, which is what you get after you’ve recovered from an
infection. According to the authors, “memory antibodies selected over time by
natural infection have greater potency and breadth than antibodies elicited by
vaccination.”
Most
of the identified cases of Covid-19 in a Barnstable County, Massachusetts,
town, in July (74%) were among fully vaccinated people. Most, but not all, had
the Delta variant. Additionally, four of five hospitalized patients were fully
vaccinated. Only one was not fully vaccinated. ~ Sharyl Attkisson
For
transparency, one of the coauthors, Michel Nussenzweig, told Reuters that if an
updated injection capable of protecting against one or more specific variants
were to become available, “then that would be the choice."
I
mention that, because the competing interest statement on that paper reveals
the Rockefeller University “has filed a provisional patent application in
connection with this work … (US patent 63/021,387). The patent has been
licensed by Rockefeller University to Bristol Meyers Squib.”
An
identical competing interest statement can also be found on other recent
papers, including a preprint paper20 titled
“Development of Potency, Breadth and Resilience to Viral Escape Mutations in
SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibodies.”
At
the time of writing, I got nothing but error messages when trying to access the
U.S. patent office to confirm what U.S. patent 63/021,387 might be, but based
on the papers bearing this competing interest statement, it sounds like the
Rockefeller University might be patenting a new COVID shot against variants.
First COVID Shots Appear Ineffective
Against Newer Variants
At
the same time that Moderna and Pfizer raise prices on their individual COVID
shots by 10% and 25% respectively,21 evidence of
their ineffectiveness continues to mount.
In
a July 30, 2021, report,22 Sharyl Attkisson cited data23 from the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which show that 74% of
COVID-19 diagnoses in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, between July 6 through
July 25, 2021, and 80% of hospitalizations, were among the fully vaccinated.
“The report contradicts
multiple false reports that have claimed the vaccines are ‘100% effective’ in
preventing hospitalization,” Attkisson writes.24
“It also
contradicts false reports that have implied vaccinated people are not spreading
Covid-19. According to CDC, the fully vaccinated are showing just as high of a
‘viral load’ as unvaccinated people who get infected.
CDC
published new data25 on the topic in its weekly report.
It says that most of the identified cases of Covid-19 in a Barnstable County,
Massachusetts, town, in July (74%) were among fully vaccinated people.
Most, but
not all, had the Delta variant. Additionally, four of five hospitalized
patients were fully vaccinated. Only one was not fully vaccinated. Today, CDC
also acknowledged that Covid-19 viral load is ‘similarly high’ in both
vaccinated and unvaccinated people. That's a result, say officials, of the
Delta variant.
From the
start, virologists said that there would be natural variants to Covid-19. They
also accurately predicted that effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines would wear
down in a matter of months, not years. Now, CDC is confirming that the current
Covid-19 vaccines are not working effectively against Covid-19.
In contrast,
the millions of Americans who have fought off Covid-19 infections, either with
or without symptoms, are proving to have greater and longer lasting immunity,
so far, than those who have been vaccinated. That, too, was predicted by
virologists.”
Americans
are now told the Delta variant is a pandemic among the unvaccinated, even
though the data doesn’t support this claim. The CDC appears to be trying to
prop up this narrative by not reporting breakthrough infections in vaccinated
individuals unless they are hospitalized or die.
Even
then, they acknowledge them only if they have a positive PCR test run at a
cycle threshold (CT) below 28,26 whereas
unvaccinated people are still tested at a CT of 40 or above. The higher the CT,
the greater the chance of a false positive.
Israeli Data Show Waning
Effectiveness of Pfizer Shot
Israel
is now recommending a third booster shot for people over the age of 60, as data27 show the
Pfizer injection is only 39% effective (relative risk reduction) against the
Delta variant, down from 64% relative effectiveness two weeks earlier.
As
of August 2, 2021, 66.9% of Israelis had received at least one dose of Pfizer’s
injection; 62.2% had received two doses.28 A day
earlier, August 1, director of Israel’s Public Health Services, Dr. Sharon
Alroy-Preis, announced half of all COVID-19 infections were among the fully
vaccinated.29 Signs of more serious disease among fully vaccinated are
also emerging, she said, particularly in those over the age of 60.
Alternative Treatments
In
closing, remember there are several different treatment protocols for COVID-19
that appear just as effective for variants as for the original virus, including
the following:

For the past five years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) via the
National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC) of China has maintained a partnership with the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation that involves conducting scientific research into, you guessed
it: bat coronaviruses.
The National Pulse published an in-depth exposé into the
partnership, revealing that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has been
conducting research on bat coronaviruses alongside the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation at the infamous Wuhan Institute of
Virology, which is where the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) is believed to have
“escaped” after being sent there by Ralph Baric from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The state-owned scientific group says it is “guided by President Xi Jinping’s
Socialist thoughts,” which normally involve creating “strategic cooperative
agreements” with the CCP’s Central Military Commission. However, the Gates
Foundation got involved back in 2015, signing a memorandum of understanding
with the NSFC to “jointly support research projects and bilateral workshops.”
“Together, the Gates Foundation and NSFC would ‘co-fund awards of up to
US$1M and 4 years for collaborations between Chinese and international
investigators,’” writes Natalie Winters for The National Pulse, highlighting key points from the Gates
Foundation memo.

Frontline Care Doctor Shares How to End COVID

Research Deferred After Scientists Diagnosed With CJD
How the
Government May Accuse You of Domestic Terrorism
Story
at-a-glance
Dr.
Paul Marik, a critical care doctor at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in East
Virginia, is renowned for his work in creating the “Marik Cocktail,” which
significantly reduces death rates from sepsis using inexpensive, safe, generic
medications.1 In the video above, he speaks with Dr. Mobeen Syed about
trends in the management of COVID-19, including what he believes could have
wiped out the virus early on.2
According
to Marik, the treatment of COVID-19 patients in the early stages of the disease
was botched in the U.S. and worldwide, and the continued recommendation that
people stay home and isolate while doing nothing until they’re cyanotic, or
basically turning blue from a lack of oxygen, is a disgrace, because early
treatment options are available.
“There
is a scientific vacuum and this starts back to March of last year,” Marik said.
“There's been a complete failure of the major medical institutions across the
world. Every major society has failed to provide honest useful scientific
information.”3
While
the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
the National Institutes of Health have stated there’s no treatment for
COVID-19, only supportive care to treat the fever or provide fluids, Marik
describes this as an outrage:4
“While we
may not have the best answers, we do have some answers and to tell people to
stay at home and isolate so they go blue is an absurdity that's actually
causing lots of damage because we are now waiting for the virus to, in some
people, cause the cytokine storm. And when they arrive with that state it is
very difficult to reverse it and stop it and bring them back.”
FLCC’s COVID-19 Treatment Protocol
Marik
and four other critical care physicians formed the Front Line COVID-19 Critical
Care Working Group (FLCCC) early on in the pandemic. Not content to offer
COVID-19 patients “supportive care,” Marik recruited some of the most
knowledgeable pulmonary critical care specialists to solve the COVID-19
treatment puzzle, honing in on stopping the hyper-immune response — including
multi-organ inflammation and clotting — which is what typically drives death in
fatal COVID-19 cases.5
Marik
told Mountain Home magazine, “As pulmonary critical care doctors we know how to
treat inflammation and clotting, with corticosteroids and anticoagulants. It’s
first-grade science.”6 Yet, when the pandemic began, press briefings neglected to
include clinicians who were actually treating COVID-19 patients to state “these
are the symptoms and this is what you have to do.”7
FLCCC
released their MATH+
protocol for hospitalized COVID-19 patients in March 2020.
It
gets its name from:
·
Intravenous Methylprednisolone ·
High-dose intravenous Ascorbic
acid (vitamin C) ·
Plus optional treatments Thiamine,
zinc and vitamin D ·
Full dose low molecular weight Heparin |
The
MATH+ protocol led to high survival rates. Out of more than 100 hospitalized
COVID-19 patients treated with the MATH+ protocol as of mid-April 2020, only
two died. Both were in their 80s and had advanced chronic medical conditions.8 FLCCC also
created I-MASK+, which is their mass distribution protocol for prevention and outpatient
treatment of COVID-19.
Step-by-Step Guide to COVID
Prevention and Early Treatment
FLCCC’s
I-MASK+ protocol can be downloaded in full,9 giving you
step-by-step instructions on how to prevent and treat the early symptoms of
COVID-19. The prevention protocol is for those who are at high risk of COVID-19
or know they’ve been exposed, and includes:
·
Ivermectin |
·
Vitamin D3 |
·
Vitamin C |
·
Quercetin |
·
Zinc |
·
Melatonin |
The
early outpatient protocol, for those with early symptoms, includes all of the above,
plus aspirin and nasopharyngeal sanitation, such as steamed essential oil
inhalation three times a day along with chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles and
betadine nasal spray. Fluvoxamine is also recommended in certain cases and
monitoring of oxygen saturation levels with a pulse oximeter is recommended.
FLCCC
also has protocols for at-home prevention and early treatment, called I-MASS,
which involves ivermectin, vitamin D3, a
multivitamin and a digital thermometer to watch your body temperature in the
prevention phase and ivermectin, melatonin, aspirin and antiseptic mouthwash
for early at-home treatment. Household or close contacts of COVID-19 patients
may take ivermectin (18 milligrams, then repeat the dose in 48 hours) for
post-exposure prevention.10
Marik’s
original COVID Protocol, released in March 2020, recommended hydroxychloroquine
(HCQ),
a zinc ionophore, to decrease the duration of viral shedding, particularly in
elderly patients with comorbidities.11 However,
their latest I-MASK+ protocol, updated June 30, 2021,12 recommends
quercetin instead. Quercetin, also a
zinc ionophore, is an over-the-counter alternative to HCQ and works much like
HCQ does. According to Marik:13
“Experimental
and early clinical data (published in high impact journals) suggests that this
compound has broad antiviral properties (including against coronavirus) and acting
at various steps in the viral life cycle. It also appears to be a potent
inhibitor of heat shock proteins (HSP 40 and 70) which are required for viral
assembly.”
Censorship Is Keeping This
Information Quiet
If
you’re surprised to hear that an established protocol for COVID-19 prevention
and treatment exists, it’s likely because you’ve heard nothing about it on
mainstream media. This is intentional and exemplifies the censorship that has
been occurring throughout the pandemic. “What we're going through now is
unprecedented in the history of science,” Marik said.14
“I mean this
goes back to witchcraft and really prehistoric behaviors. Science is based on
exchange of information and that has been censored. So, I think history is
going to look back very unfavorably on this period.
I think this
is a very dark period in the history of humanity, the history of science, the
history of the press, you know the history of freedom of speech, just because
of the complete lack of information, misinformation, disinformation and
censorship. I mean it's absurd … what we're saying is being censored and
labeled as scientific misinformation.”
Ivermectin
is a glaring example, which continues to be ignored even though it has shown
remarkable success in preventing and treating COVID-19. It was December 2020
when FLCCC called for widespread adoption of ivermectin, both as a
prophylactic and for the treatment of all phases of COVID-19.15,16
In
one trial,17 58 volunteers took 12 milligrams of ivermectin once per
month for four months. Only four (6.96%) came down with mild COVID-19 symptoms
during the May through August 2020 trial period. In comparison, 44 of 60 health
care workers (73.3%) who had declined the medication were diagnosed with
COVID-19. Ivermectin is safe, inexpensive and widely available, with antiviral
and anti-inflammatory properties, leading Marik to describe it as the perfect
drug to treat COVID-19.18
While
an increasing number of doctors and countries have adopted ivermectin’s
use for COVID-19, many more refuse it, even going so far as to prohibit its
use for patients. Legal fights have ensued, with family members enlisting
lawyers to battle hospital boards in order to give their dying loved ones the
lifesaving pills — even when all other treatment options have been exhausted.19 Urgent
change is needed, Marik said, because profits are being put ahead of lives:20
“Making
money and profiteering is what is driving this — not saving lives — and what
they're most interested in is preserving that single organ, which may be
damaged the most, which is the back pocket. They’re terrified of the back
pocket being damaged. The heart, the brain, the lung, they don't care. It's the
back pocket that's driving this.”
‘The Most Dangerous Vaccines We’ve
Ever Used’
Knowing
that treatment options exist may change people’s decisions about COVID-19
vaccines, which Marik describes as “categorically and without question … the
most dangerous vaccines that we've ever used.”21 In full
disclosure, Marik himself is vaccinated, having received the Pfizer mRNA
COVID-19 vaccine, which he said he received since he’s over 60, putting him
in a higher risk category.
If
he were 24 years old, however, Marik said he wouldn’t get vaccinated, and he
doesn’t recommend it for younger children either, as he believes for people
under 30 with no risk factors, the risks of the vaccine outweigh those of
COVID-19:22
“I think
that the risk of a bad outcome from COVID in a 12- to 17-year-old is very low
and the risk of an adverse effect to the vaccine is probably much higher. So, it's
just not commonsense that you would force vaccination in such kids.
I think it's
a risk-benefit ratio. If they were a Type 1 diabetic, if they were
immunocompromised, if they were severely obese, you may want to reconsider, but
a healthy 12- to 17-year-old, in my opinion and obviously it's my opinion, I
would be hesitant in vaccinating these kids.”
While
Marik believes the vaccines may be “somewhat effective” in decreasing cases of
COVID-19 hospitalization and death, he stresses that they come with sizeable
risks. “The number of side effects and deaths from these vaccines — and this is
based on reportable data from the WHO and the VAERS network — the number of
deaths and adverse events are an order of 10- to 100-fold magnitude than any
other vaccine.”23
He
refers to the mass COVID
vaccination campaign as the biggest experiment done in the history of mankind,
and points out that we don’t know what the long-term effects will be. “And to
make it even worse,” Marik says, “the vaccine companies know a lot about these
vaccines but they haven't given us this information. It's hidden.”
“For
example, when you get the mRNA vaccine, people assume it stays in the arm but
that's not true. The spikes tend to
spread throughout the body. Now the vaccine companies know about this but they
don't want to tell us about it. We have to figure this out ourselves.
… we need to
respect [people’s] autonomy. We need to respect their informed consent. They
should be able to decide for themselves. We should not be forcing this upon
people and this mandate that colleges and some hospitals have, I think it goes
against the foundation of freedom of choice, freedom to do to your own body as
you respect and freedom of consent.”24
Symptoms of Long COVID ‘Identical’
to Vaccination Syndrome
FLCCC
also has a management protocol — I-RECOVER25 — for
long-haul COVID-19 syndrome, which includes a range of symptoms such as
malaise, headaches, painful joints, chest pain and cognitive dysfunction.
The
protocol is still evolving as more is learned about the condition, but of note
is that it’s been successfully used to treat post-vaccine inflammatory
syndromes as well. As noted by Marik, long COVID and post-vaccine inflammatory
syndromes share many similarities, but the latter is taboo to talk about:26
“Post-vaccination
adverse events are much more common in younger people. That's our impression.
There's not a lot of data and if you talk to the experts about a
post-vaccination syndrome they have no idea what you're talking about because …
it's politically not correct to talk about it. They don't want to hear about
it.
So as far as
I know, there are not any peer-reviewed publications on post-vaccination
syndrome but we know from patients that they develop symptoms almost identical
to the long hauler.
They develop
severe symptoms very much similar to the post-COVID syndrome. So, you know
people say, ‘Oh it's in their head. They're making this up. It's a psychiatric
disease. They're trying to gain some something out of this.’ I think it's a
real disease … and these people truly have monocyte activation production of
cytokines much like the post-COVID syndrome.”
This Could End the Pandemic in One
Month
Syed
asked Marik what he would do if given the opportunity to end the pandemic next
month. His response was remarkably simple: a mass distribution program of
ivermectin together with melatonin, vitamin D and aspirin. By assuming everyone
is infected and treating with this safe combination of inexpensive compounds,
Marik says, “We’ll eliminate SARS-CoV-2. It will be gone.”
This
isn’t likely to happen, though, due to “economic and political factors that benefit from
the ongoing pandemic.”27 Marik also weighed in on the lab leak
theory
that SARS-CoV-2 came from a laboratory in Wuhan, China:28
“I think the
preponderance of evidence highly suggests this was a manipulated virus that
whether it leaked on accident or by design leaked from the Wuhan laboratory …
the molecular structure of the spike protein would suggest that this was a
manipulated the protein was specifically manipulated and enhanced …
The
diversity of the symptoms, the systems it involves, the depth of damage it does
and the durability of the damage — that first it causes the acute and then it
becomes long COVID and then it just keeps sitting with us — I have not seen any
other virus in my lifetime, which does this kind of destruction.”
Moving
forward, Marik states that health officials must learn from the enormous
mistakes made during the pandemic, which highlighted a global lack of collaboration
among health care providers along with a lack of honesty and openness.
“This
pandemic has been an example of what not to do. I think everything that could
have gone wrong went wrong,” he said. Once COVID is under control, Marik hopes
to refocus his efforts on sepsis, which
remains a leading cause of deaths overall and is also an important contributor
to the death of COVID-19 patients.

The Lies Behind the ‘Pandemic of
Unvaxxed’
by Dr.
Joseph Mercola
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the White House and most mainstream media, what we have now is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”1
According to the official narrative, 99% of COVID-19 deaths and 95% of COVID-related hospitalizations are occurring among the unvaccinated. In a July 16, 2021, White House press briefing,2 CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky claimed “over 97% of people who are entering the hospital right now are unvaccinated.”
But as reported by Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle,” “that statistic is grossly misleading,”3 and in an August 5, 2021, video statement, Walensky inadvertently revealed how that 95% to 99% statistic was created.
Grossly Misleading Data Manipulation
As it turns out, to achieve those statistics, the CDC included hospitalization and mortality data from January through June 2021. It does not include more recent data or data related to the Delta variant, which is now the most prevalent strain in circulation. The problem is, the vast majority of the United States population was unvaccinated during that timeframe.
January 1, 2021, only 0.5% of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot. By mid-April, an estimated 31% had received one or more shots,4 and as of June 15, 48.7% were fully “vaccinated.”5 Keep in mind that you’re not “fully vaccinated” until two weeks after your second dose (in the case of Pfizer or Moderna), which is given six weeks after your first shot. This is according to the CDC.6
So, those receiving an initial dose in June, for example, won’t be “fully vaccinated” until eight weeks later, sometime in July or August.
By using statistics from a time period when the U.S. as a whole was largely unvaccinated, the CDC is now claiming we’re in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” in an effort to demonize those who still have not agreed to receive this experimental gene modification injection.
Selective Pressure Promotes Emergence of New Variants
Here’s what Canadian viral immunologist and vaccine researcher Dr. Byram Bridle told Ingraham about the claim that we’re in a pandemic of the unvaxxed, and that the unvaccinated are hotbeds for dangerous variants:
“Absolutely, it’s untrue to be calling this a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And it’s certainly untrue … that the unvaccinated are somehow driving the emergence of the novel variants. This goes against every scientific principle that we understand.
The reality is, the nature of the vaccines we are using right now, and the way we’re rolling them out, are going to be applying selective pressure to this virus to promote the emergence of new variants. Again, this is based on sound principles.
We have to look no further than … the emergence of antibiotic resistance … The principle is this: If you have a biological entity that is prone to mutation — and the SARS-CoV-2, like all coronaviruses is prone to mutation — and you apply a narrowly focused selective pressure that is nonlethal, and you do this over a long period of time, this is the recipe for driving the emergence of novel variants.
This is exactly what we’re doing. Our vaccines are focused on a single protein of the virus, so the virus only has to alter one protein, and the vaccines don’t come close to providing sterilizing immunity.
People who are vaccinated still get infected, it only seems particularly good at blunting the disease, and what that tells you therefore is that these vaccines in the vast majority of people are applying a nonlethal pressure, narrowly focused on one protein, and the vaccine rollout is occurring over a long period of time. That’s the recipe for driving variants.”
Natural Immunity Offers Far Superior Protection
Bridle also explains why natural immunity offers robust protection against all variants, whereas vaccine-induced immunity can’t. When you acquire the infection naturally, your body develops antibodies against ALL of the viral proteins whereas the COVID shots only trigger antibodies against one, namely the spike protein.
As mentioned above, when you have antibodies against just one of the viral proteins, the virus only needs to mutate that one protein in order to evade your immune system. When you have natural immunity, on the other hand, your antibodies will recognize all parts of the virus, so even if the spike protein is mutated, your body will recognize other parts of the virus and mount an attack against those.
That SARS-CoV-2 works the same way other viruses do was shown in a Nature Reviews Immunology study7 by Alessandro Sette and Shane Crotty, published in October 2020. The study, “Cross-Reactive Memory T Cells and Herd Immunity to SARS-CoV-2” argued that naturally-acquired immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is potent, long-lasting and very broad in scope, as you develop both antibodies and T cells that target multiple components of the virus and not just one.
If we are to depend on vaccine-induced immunity, as public health officials are urging us to do, we’ll end up on a never-ending booster treadmill. Boosters will absolutely be necessary, as the shot offers such narrow protection against a single protein of the virus. Already, data around the world show vaccine-induced protection is waning rapidly in the face of new variants, and Moderna has publicly stated that the need for additional boosters is expected.8
How Dangerous Is the Delta Variant?
According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Delta variant is both more transmissible and more dangerous than the original virus and previous variants. July 4, 2021, he told NBC News:9
“It is more effective and efficient in its ability to transmit from person to person. And studies that we've seen where they have been the variant that's dominated in other countries, it's clear that it appears to be more lethal in the sense of more serious — allow you to get more serious disease leading to hospitalization, and in some cases leading to deaths.”
In a June 29, 2021, interview,10 Fauci called the Delta variant “a game-changer” for unvaccinated people, warning it will devastate the unvaccinated population while vaccinated individuals are protected against it.
The Delta is more contagious but it’s far less deadly, far less worrisome. In fact, it’s a much weaker virus than both the U.K. [Alpha] and the South African [Beta] variants. ~ Dr. Peter McCullough
Remember, Fauci is not a clinician and has never treated someone infected with SARS-CoV-2. Other health experts and practicing physicians who treat COVID-19 patients disagree with Fauci’s claims, arguing that not only is the Delta variant not more dangerous, it’s certainly not more dangerous for the unvaccinated.
As reported by Ingraham in June 2021 (video above), there’s an evolutionary genetics theory called Muller’s Ratchet, which states that as an outbreak starts to peter out, the virus tends to mutate into a more transmissible form, but at the same time it grows weaker, causing far less serious infection. According to epidemiologist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, this is exactly what we’re seeing. He told Ingraham:
“The good news is on the 18th of June, the United Kingdom presented their 16th report11 on the mutations — and they’re doing a great job, much better than our CDC — and what they demonstrated is that the Delta is more contagious but it’s far less deadly, far less worrisome. In fact, it’s a much weaker virus than both the U.K. [Alpha] and the South African [Beta] variants.”
Spike Mutations Render Vaccinated Vulnerable to Delta
Importantly, the Delta variant contains three different mutations, all in the spike protein. This, McCullough explains, allows this variant to evade the immune responses in those who have received the COVID jabs — but not those who have natural immunity which, again, is much broader. In a June 30, 2021, appearance on Fox News (video above), McCullough stated:12
“It is very clear from the UK Technical Briefing13 that was published June 18th that the vaccine provides no protection against the Delta variant. It’s a very mild variant.
Whether you get the vaccine or not, patients will get some very mild symptoms like a cold and they can be easily managed … Patients who have severe symptoms or at high risk, we can use simple drug combinations at home and get them through the illness. So, there’s no reason now to push vaccinations.”
Children’s Health Defense chief scientific officer Brian Hooker, Ph.D., has echoed McCullough’s sentiments. The Defender quotes Hooker:14
“What we’re seeing is virus evolution 101. Viruses like to survive, so killing the host (i.e. the human who is infected) defeats the purpose because killing the host kills the virus, too. For this reason, new variants of viruses that circulate widely through the population tend to become more transmissive but less pathogenic. In other words, they will spread more easily from person to person, but they will cause less damage to the host.
The vaccine focuses on the spike protein, whereas natural immunity focuses on the entire virus.
Natural immunity — with a more diverse array of antibodies and T-cell receptors — will provide better protection overall as it has more targets in which to attack the virus, whereas vaccine-derived immunity only focuses on one portion of the virus, in this case, the spike protein. Once that portion of the virus has mutated sufficiently, the vaccine no longer is effective.”
Real-World Data Show Most of Infected are Fully ‘Vaccinated’
Real-world data from areas with high COVID jab rates show the complete converse of what media, the CDC and White House officials are telling us. In addition to the British Technical Briefing No. 16,15 cited above, we have additional data from Israel, Scotland, Massachusetts and Gibraltar:
• August 1, 2021, director of Israel’s Public Health Services, Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, announced half of all COVID-19 infections were among the fully vaccinated.16 Signs of more serious disease among fully vaccinated are also emerging, she said, particularly in those over the age of 60.
A few days later, August 5, Dr. Kobi Haviv, director of the Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, appeared on Channel 13 News, reporting that 95% of severely ill COVID-19 patients are fully vaccinated, and that they make up 85% to 90% of COVID-related hospitalizations overall.17 As of August 2, 2021, 66.9% of Israelis had received at least one dose of Pfizer’s injection, which is used exclusively in Israel; 62.2% had received two doses.18
• In Scotland, official data on hospitalizations and deaths show 87% of those who have died from COVID-19 in the third wave that began in early July were vaccinated.19
• A CDC investigation of an outbreak in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, between July 6 through July 25, 2021, found 74% of those who received a diagnosis of COVID19, and 80% of hospitalizations, were among the fully vaccinated.20,21 Most, but not all, had the Delta variant of the virus.
The CDC also found that fully vaccinated individuals who contract the infection have as high a viral load in their nasal passages as unvaccinated individuals who get infected.22 This means the vaccinated are just as infectious as the unvaccinated.
• In Gibraltar, which has a 99% COVID jab compliance rate, COVID cases have risen by 2,500% since June 1, 2021.23
While those who benefit from keeping the pandemic going would like you to cower in fear at the thought of the Delta variant, there’s really no evidence that it’s any worse than the original. It’s more transmissible, yes, but far less dangerous, as its primary symptoms are that of a regular cold.
According to Harvard and Stanford professors, the actual number of Americans dying from or with COVID-19 are actually at an all-time low, so alarmism is uncalled for.24
And, as for viral social media posts by doctors and nurses claiming hospitals are overflowing with unvaccinated COVID patients, don’t believe them. Most are bots. We’ve repeatedly seen evidence that fearmongering is being spread not by real people but by fake accounts run by artificial intelligence. This includes blue check accounts. Here’s a sampling of recent bot farm tweets trying to scare everyone:25
Don’t Fear It, Just Treat It
In closing, remember there are several different treatment protocols for COVID-19 that appear just as effective for variants as for the original virus, including the following:
Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance’s I-MASS Prevention and At-Home Treatment protocol
The FLCCC’s I-MASK+ Prevention and Early
Outpatient Treatment protocol
The FLCCC’s I-RECOVER management protocol
for long-haul COVID-19 syndrome
Nebulized hydrogen peroxide for prevention and treatment of COVID-19, as detailed in Dr. David Brownstein’s case paper26 and Dr. Thomas Levy’s free e-book, “Rapid Virus Recovery.” Levy believes nebulized hydrogen peroxide can also be an invaluable strategy for combating spike protein toxicity27 because, in addition to being a powerful antiviral, it will also augment and speed up cellular healing, in part by improving oxygenation.

“The Awareness Foundation
Covid- 19 Roundtable Video”
https://inoneplace.com/thewatch/item/a7VKK4WS0hA1874
(2:13:52)
Story
at-a-glance
In this time
of extreme censorship and suppression of scientific debate, The Awareness
Foundation COVID-19 Roundtable,1 hosted by
Katherine Macbean of the Awareness Foundation, is a sign of wakefulness and
hope. It includes honest opinions and expertise from 14 high-profile doctors,
including myself, with a focus on the potential dangers being posed by the
experimental mass COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
Each
has faced censorship when speaking out, and though there are some differing viewpoints,
all agree that there’s enough evidence to halt the global COVID-19 vaccination
campaign, either for everyone or — particularly — for those to whom the
vaccines pose the greatest risks with little to no benefit. This includes
children and young people, pregnant women and those who have already recovered
from COVID-19.
I
highly recommend setting aside two hours to watch this roundtable discussion in
full — it’s a rarity in the present day to hear such candor and open debate.
However, I’ve also compiled some of the highlights below, which include
warnings about the dangers these experimental vaccines may pose to society.
A Tsunami of Chronic Disease and
Death
Will
COVID-19 vaccines cause a coming tsunami of hospitalization and deaths, along
with debilitating chronic disease? One expert on the panel, Dr. Peter
McCullough, an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist and full professor of
medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine in Dallas with a master's degree
in public health, said he’s focused more on the short-term adverse effects from
the shot. These nonfatal injuries fall into four major categories:
“What
I'm seeing is just the late emergence of various neurologic syndromes. And it
probably depends on where the seeding occurs of, uh, of, you know, the uptake
of the genetic material in the brain or support cells in the brain, but there's
a whole variety of cerebral, cerebellar, even peripheral nervous system
abnormalities,” McCullough said, adding:2
“I've seen
it in my clinic and they seem to be emerging three, four or five, six months
later after vaccination … So I'm getting increasingly alarmed here that this is
not just a simple one- or two-day problem. And so there's great concern,
particularly in younger kids that over a course of three or six or nine months,
they'll end up with heart failure or cardiac death.
… What I see
is, potentially from these signals, not mass death, but just a large number of
Americans and people around the world with a new chronic disease of some sort
of neurodegenerative disease or cardiac disease. The patients that I'm aware
of, these problems seem to be quite disabling.”
Another
panel member, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, who has treated thousands of COVID-19
patients using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), azithromycin and zinc sulfate,3 with great
success, has a different take. He believes there is a very distinct possibility
that everyone who receives the COVID jab may die from complications in the next
two to three years:4
“I'm just
going to give you the perspective of a clinician who deals with people that are
dying … 4 million dead people can testify to the unique clinical syndrome to
put them there. Basically, a natural animal virus was changed to infect humans,
and then its lethality was augmented to cause blood clots and lung damage.
And in
concept here, we're dealing with a Hitler/Stalin type of mentality with weapons
of mass destruction and the way to win this war — and it's very winnable — is
in the following manner. It's a narrative war. So we need to spread the
following two ideas … Don't give into the fear and choose to destroy yourself,
No. 1. No. 2, treat your problem early. If these two ideas could penetrate the
fixed calls of humanity, then it's really the end of this crisis.”
Dr.
Tess Lawrie, whose company The Evidence-Based Medicine Consultancy has worked
with the World Health Organization, agreed that the vaccines are unsafe for
children and adults alike:5
“They're
actually not safe for anybody, and it's clear. The databases are screaming. The
databases are early warning systems, and the databases around the world are
screaming that we are facing a tsunami of chronic disease.”
Inflammatory Disorders, Cancer
Markers on the Rise
Dr.
Richard Urso, an ophthalmologist in Houston, Texas, is also concerned:6
“Early on,
we were seeing things, mostly thrombotic, but later, as we get into two and
three months [after vaccination], we’re seeing a lot of inflammatory issues.
I’ve had a host of people with inflammatory ocular disorders, as well as having
orbital inflammatory diseases.
I typically
don’t see this rash number of people. For people who don’t know, my clinical
practice is probably one of the largest in the United States, if not the
largest, and we get a tremendous number, in volume, of patients who come
through our office. And I’m seeing late inflammatory disease, and it responds
quite well to inflammatory medicines.”
Some
have brushed off the notion that the virus could be a bioweapon because it
didn’t cause sudden, mass deaths. But this is a misconception. A successful
bioweapon can be something that causes long-term, progressive, chronic-type
diseases, noted Dr. Richard Fleming, a physicist, nuclear cardiologist and

In
1994, Fleming introduced the theory of inflammation and vascular disease, which
explains why these inflammable thrombotic diseases, and the causes, including
viruses like SARS-CoV-2, produce disease states like COVID-19.
“As
I laid out in the theory in 1994,” Fleming said, “you're going to see an inflammable
thrombotic response. That’s the primary thing that people are noticing, be that
heart disease or retinol disease.” The other factor is a prion component of
this virus, “which is also a chronic smoldering disease.” Fleming noted:7
“If you're
going to actually develop something that's going to have a massive effect on
your ‘enemy,’ your goal isn't to kill the enemy any more than it was the goal
of the United States in Vietnam to kill the enemy.
The goal was
to maim the enemy so that more of the enemy would be taken off the field. What
we've seen is something that's been implemented that is an ideal by a weapon
designed to demoralize and to feed people the enemy, and to cause a slow
smoldering process.”
Fleming
cited data from Pfizer that showed in the 12 to 14 days following the second
injection of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine, elderly individuals had a 2.6-fold
increase in symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. “This is an inflammable thrombotic
process affecting every organ system and prion diseases that not only affect
the brain, but also affect the heart and other vital organs of the body.”8
Dr.
Ryan Cole, a Mayo Clinic-trained, triple-boarded pathologist, also said that
he’s seeing potential cancer-causing changes, including decreases in receptors
that keep cancer in check, and other adverse events post-vaccine:9
“I’m seeing
countless adverse reactions … it's really post-vaccine immunodeficiency
syndrome … I'm seeing a marked increase in herpetic family viruses, human
papilloma viruses in the post-vaccinated. I'm seeing a marked uptick in a
laboratory setting from what I see year over year of an increase of usually
quiescent diseases.
In addition
to that — and correlation is not causation — but in the last six months I have
seen — you know, I read a fair amount of women's health biopsies — about a 10-
to 20-fold increase of uterine cancer compared to what I see on an annual
basis. Now we know that the CD8 cells are one of our T-cells to keep our
cancers in check.
I am seeing
early signals … what I'm seeing is an early signal in the laboratory setting
that post-vaccinated patients are having diseases that we normally don't see at
rates that are already early considerably alarming.”
Do the Vaccinated Pose a Risk to the
Unvaccinated?
Sherri
Tenpenny has heard thousands of anecdotal reports that something is being
transmitted from the vaccinated to the unvaccinated:10
“We're
injecting a synthetically made messenger RNA and strips of synthetically made
double-stranded DNA by different mechanisms, and if that transmission goes to
the other person, they don't get COVID, they don't get COVID symptoms that we
typically recognize as COVID. They get bleeding, they get blood clots, they get
headaches, they get heart disease, they get all of these different things.”
Dr.
Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA and DNA vaccine core platform
technology,11 doesn’t agree that anything is being “passed” from
vaccinated people to others, adding that while it may be possible for mRNA to
be shed through breast milk to nursing infants, possibly causing
gastrointestinal symptoms, anything else is just speculation.
Others
suggest it could be more of a hormonal or pheromonal issue than some type of
“shedding,” which may help explain why women are also reporting abnormalities
with their menstrual cycles following vaccination. Dr. Lee Merritt, an
orthopedic and spinal surgeon, brought up a 2015 report by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration, which looked at “shedding” in mRNA vaccines, which they call
gene therapies.12 She explained:13
“They talk
about, they're very concerned about the shedding — and they do call it
shedding, whether that's technically correct … And they tell you in this thing
who to protect, they tell you to protect neonates, immunocompromised people and
elderly with bad immune systems.
They also
say, we don't know what's being shed. They say it could be genetic material. It
could be activated viruses and it could be a recombinant product. This is
what's in the FDA data.”
Immediately Halt the Vaccine Program
All
of the experts agreed that evidence suggests the mass COVID-19 vaccination
program should be halted. “There is enough evidence now just from the European
Medicines Agency alone, 1.7 million in reported adverse events and 17,000
deaths that the four clinical trials should be stopped,” said Dolores Cahill, a
professor at the school of medicine at the University College Dublin.
“They are
detailed in the classifications, cardiac related immune, uh neuropathological
and fertility associated.
So I think
we all have duties as doctors and scientists to say, if something is causing
more harm than good, which this clearly is, we should, I think, unify and
called for a stop to the clinical trials worldwide, and also that any individual
prime ministers and regulators that continue the trial would have to be liable
for any adverse events.”
Malone
believes that the vaccines have merit for certain populations, namely the
elderly, but is advocating for prohibition on vaccination for infants and
newborns, through young adults up to ages 30 to 35. “And specifically,” he
said, “I'm trying to stop this crazy effort to force universities and schools
to have universal vaccination.” In addition, he added:
“We can
argue about risk-benefit for elderly, but the risk-benefit ratio for newborns
through young adults is explicitly clear. It is upside down. It's not subtle
there. You're going to kill more. And, and personally, I also feel that we can
dig in really hard on the reproductive health in pregnancy, in women, that
there just aren't data to support the use of this product because of the
potential female reproductive health consequences.”
Dr.
Urso added the other significant population that has far more to risk than gain
from vaccination: the COVID-recovered. “The immune status should be more
important than the vaccination status,” he said.
“So
I think there's three groups that are easily winnable arguments [to avoid
vaccination]: pregnant women, the young and … the COVID recovered … I mean,
that's a, that's a lousy thing to do to get all these people that are COVID
recovered, good immune status and give them a vaccination for something they
don't need.”
How to End Fear and Optimize Your
Immune System
The
roundtable participants are planning to continue their discussion offline to
formally request an end to mass COVID-19 vaccination for the mentioned groups
as well as create a statement to end government interference with the practice
of medicine. Many physicians have had their hands tied when it comes to
prescribing early treatments for COVID-19, like ivermectin. As Fleming noted:
“… The
reason why people die with COVID is because they're not receiving treatment, so
I would argue that we need to make certain that people, the physicians, are allowed
to treat without government interference and that we put a hold on the
dissemination of the vaccines at this point in time, until we can further
investigate them safely.”
Dr.
Sam White, whose reputation has been under attack since he released a video on
social media detailing his concerns about the suppression of the science around
therapeutics in the U.K., added:
“We could
end the fear overnight by allowing access to therapeutics and changing the
mainstream media narrative that there's no need for masks. There's no need for
lock downs. This is more treatable than flu, as far as I'm concerned, we're
just not allowed to do any treatment. If the public knew that it changes the
narrative overnight.”
While
we work on changing the narrative, or at least opening up discussions of
science outside of the narrative, it’s always a good idea to optimize your
immune system.
Toward
this end, I recommend optimizing your vitamin D levels to 60 to 80 nanograms
per milliliter and improving your metabolic flexibility so your body can
seamlessly transition between burning fats and glucose as your primary fuel.
One way to do this is to condense your eating window to about six to eight
hours a day.
Even
without changing your calories, this can make a profound difference, but from a
perspective of choosing the right foods, one of the most important strategies
that I’ve learned over my four decades of studying this is to avoid processed
foods, nearly all of which are loaded with vegetable, or seed, oils.
These
oils have a high content of linoleic acid, which contributes to mitochondrial
instability and increases susceptibility to oxidative stress. This, in turn,
increases immune dysfunction and mitochondrial dysfunction. These are simple
strategies I recommend, as they're useful to improve your overall health and
resiliency to fight any infection.
As
mentioned, I highly recommend listening to the discussion in full to get all of
the details that weren’t included here. At the next meeting, the group plans to
discuss how to move forward to challenge the narrative in greater detail,
including fighting back against the organizations, such as the Wellcome Trust
and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, that are heavily investing in
this.

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked
(August 18, 2021)
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data,1 COVID-19 “cases” have trended downward since peaking during the first and second week of January 2021.
At first glance, this decline appears to be occurring in tandem with the rollout of COVID shots. January 1, 2021, only 0.5% of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot. By mid-April, an estimated 31% had received one or more shots,2 and as of July 13, 48.3% were fully “vaccinated.”3
However, as noted in a July 12, 2021, STAT News article,4 “cases” had started their downward trend before COVID shots were widely used. “Following patterns from previous pandemics, the precipitous decline in new cases of Covid-19 started well before a meaningful number of people had been vaccinated,” Robert M. Kaplan, Professor Emeritus at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, writes. He continues:
“Nearly 50 years ago, medical sociologists John and Sonja McKinlay examined5 death rates from 10 serious diseases: tuberculosis, scarlet fever, influenzae, pneumonia, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, smallpox, typhoid, and polio. In each case, the new therapy or vaccine credited with overcoming it was introduced well after the disease was in decline.
More recently, historian Thomas McKeown noted6 that deaths from bronchitis, pneumonia, and influenza had begun rapidly falling 35 years before the introduction of new medicines that were credited with their conquest. These historical analyses are relevant to the current pandemic.”
As noted by Kaplan, COVID-19 “cases” peaked in early January 2021. January 8, more than 300,000 new positive test results were recorded on a daily basis. By February 21, that had declined to a daily new case count of 55,000. COVID-19 gene modification injections were granted emergency use authorization at the end of December 2020, but by February 21, only 5.9% of American adults had been fully vaccinated with two doses.
Despite such a low vaccination rate, new “cases” had declined by 82%. Considering health authorities claim we need 70% of Americans vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity and stop the spread of this virus, this simply makes no sense. Clearly, the COVID shots had nothing to do with the decline in positive test results.
To be clear, reported cases mean positive test results, and we now know the vast majority of positive PCR tests have been, and still are, false positives. They’re not sick. They simply had a false “positive.” Right now, we’re also faced with yet another situation that complicates attempts at data analysis, and Kaplan understandably did not address any of these confounding factors.
But just so you’re aware, if you have been fully “vaccinated,” then the CDC recommends running the PCR test at a cycle threshold (CT) of 28 or lower, which dramatically lowers your chance of a false positive result, but if you are unvaccinated, the PCR test is recommended to be run at a CT of 40 or higher, virtually guaranteeing a false positive.
This is just one way by which the CDC is manipulating data to make the COVID shots appear more effective than they are. This also allows them to falsely claim that the vast majority of new cases are among the unvaccinated.
Naturally, if unvaccinated are tested in such a way as to maximize false positives, then they’re going to make up the bulk of the so-called caseload. In reality, though, the vast majority of them aren’t sick.
Meanwhile, those who have received the jabs only count as a COVID case if they’re hospitalized and/or die with a positive test result. These widely differing testing strategies skew the data and allow for false interpretations to be made.
As noted by Kaplan, the most reasonable explanation for declining rates of SARS-CoV-2 appears to be natural immunity from previous infections, which vary considerably from state to state.7 He goes on to cite a study8 by the National Institutes of Health, which suggests SARS-CoV-2 prevalence was 4.8 times higher than previously thought, thanks to undiagnosed infection.
In other words, they claim that for every reported positive test result, there were likely nearly five additional people who had the infection but didn’t get a diagnosis. To analyze this data further, Kaplan calculated the natural immunity rate by dividing the new estimated number of people naturally infected by the population of any given state. He writes:9
“By mid-February 2021, an estimated 150 million people in the U.S. (30 million times five) may have had been infected with SARS-CoV-2. By April, I estimated the natural immunity rate to be above 55% in 10 states: Arizona, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin.
At the other end of the continuum, I estimated the natural immunity rate to be below 35% in the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington …
By the end of 2020, new infections were already rapidly declining in nearly all of the 10 states where the majority may have had natural immunity, well before more than a minuscule percentage of Americans were fully vaccinated. In 80% of these states, the day when new cases were at their peak occurred before vaccines were available.
In contrast, the 10 states with lower rates of previous infections were much more likely to experience new upticks in Covid-19 cases in March and April ... By the end of May, states with fewer new infections had significantly lower vaccination rates than states with more new infections.”
So, SARS-CoV-2 cases were actually higher in states where natural immunity was low but vaccination rates were high. Meanwhile, in states where natural immunity due to undiagnosed exposure was high, but vaccination rates were low, the daily new caseload was also lower.
This makes sense if natural immunity is highly effective (which, historically it has always been and there’s no reason to suspect SARS-CoV-2 is any different in that regard). It also makes sense if the COVID shots aren’t really offering any significant protection against infection, which we also know is the case.
The survivability of COVID-19 outside of nursing homes is 99.74%. If you’re under the age of 40, your chance of surviving a bout of COVID-19 is 99.99%.
Vaccine manufacturers have already admitted these COVID shots will not provide immunity, meaning they will not prevent you from being infected. The idea behind these gene modification injections is that if/when you do get infected, you’ll hopefully experience milder symptoms, even though you’re still infectious and can spread the virus to others.
Kaplan ends his analysis by saying that COVID shots are a safer way to achieve herd immunity, and that they are “the best tool available for assuring that the smoldering fire of [COVID-19] is extinguished.” I disagree, based on two major issues.
First, and perhaps most importantly, this is an untested “vaccine” and we have no idea of the short-term let alone long-term damage it will cause, as any reasonable effort at collecting this data has been actively suppressed. Secondly, the survivability of COVID-19 outside of nursing homes is 99.74%. If you’re under the age of 40, your chance of surviving a bout of COVID-19 is 99.99%.10,11,12
You can’t really improve your chances of surviving beyond that, so COVID shots cannot realistically end the pandemic. Meanwhile, the COVID shots come with an ever-growing list of potential side effects that can take years if not decades off your natural life span. The shots are particularly unnecessary for anyone with natural immunity,13 yet that’s what the CDC recommends.14
In January 2021, Dr. Hooman Noorchashm, a cardiac surgeon and patient advocate, sent a public letter15 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioner detailing the risks of vaccinating individuals who have previously been infected with SARS-CoV-2, or who have an active SARS-CoV-2 infection.
He urged the FDA to require prescreening for SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins to reduce the risk of injuries and deaths following vaccination, as the vaccine may trigger an adverse immune response in those who have already been infected with the virus. In March 2021, Fox TV host Tucker Carlson interviewed him about these risks. In that interview, Noorchashm said:16
“I think it’s a dramatic error on part of public health officials to try to put this vaccine into a one-size-fits-all paradigm … We’re going to take this problem we have with the COVID-19 pandemic, where a half-percent of the population is susceptible to dying, and compound it by causing totally avoidable harm by vaccinating people who are already infected …
The signal is deafening, the people who are having complications or adverse events are the people who have recently or are currently or previously infected [with COVID]. I don’t think we can ignore this.”
In an email to The Defender, Noorchashm fleshed out his concerns, saying:17
“Viral antigens persist in the tissues of the naturally infected for months. When the vaccine is used too early after a natural infection, or worse during an active infection, the vaccine force activates a powerful immune response that attacks the tissues where the natural viral antigens are persisting. This, I suggest, is the cause of the high level of adverse events and, likely deaths, we are seeing in the recently infected following vaccination.”
Despite being widely ignored, Noorchashm continues to push for the implementation of prevaccine screening using PCR or rapid antigen testing to determine whether the individual has an active infection, and an IgG antibody test to determine past infection.
If either test is positive, he recommends delaying vaccination for a minimum of three to six months to allow your IgG levels to wane. At that point, he recommends testing your blood IgG level and use that as a guide to decide the timing of your vaccination.
Mere weeks after Noorchashm’s letter to the FDA, an international survey18 confirmed his concerns. After surveying 2,002 people who had received a first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, they found that those who had previously had COVID-19 experienced “significantly increased incidence and severity” of side effects, compared to those who did not have natural immunity.
The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were linked to a higher incidence of side effects compared to the viral vector-based COVID-19 vaccines, but tended to be milder, local reactions. Systemic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, flu-like illness and breathlessness, were more likely to occur with the viral vector COVID-19 vaccines.
Like Noorchashm before them, the researchers called on health officials to reevaluate their vaccination recommendations for people who’ve had COVID-19:19
“People with prior COVID-19 exposure were largely excluded from the vaccine trials and, as a result, the safety and reactogenicity of the vaccines in this population have not been previously fully evaluated. For the first time, this study demonstrates a significant association between prior COVID19 infection and a significantly higher incidence and severity of self-reported side effects after vaccination for COVID-19.
Consistently, compared to the first dose of the vaccine, we found an increased incidence and severity of self-reported side effects after the second dose, when recipients had been previously exposed to viral antigen.
In view of the rapidly accumulating data demonstrating that COVID-19 survivors generally have adequate natural immunity for at least 6 months, it may be appropriate to re-evaluate the recommendation for immediate vaccination of this group.”
So far, the CDC has refused to change its stance on the matter. Instead, officials at the agency seem to have doubled down and actually go out of their way to misrepresent data in an effort to harass those with natural immunity to inappropriately take the jab, which is clearly clinically unnecessary.
In a report issued by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) December 18, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was said to have “consistent high efficacy” of 92% or more among people with evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.20
After looking at the Pfizer trial data, Rep. Thomas Massie — a Republican Congressman for Kentucky and an award-winning scientist in his own right — discovered that’s completely wrong. In a January 30, 2021, Full Measure report, investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson described how Massie tried, in vain, to get the CDC to correct its error. According to Massie:21,22
“There is no efficacy demonstrated in the Pfizer trial among participants with evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infections and actually there's no proof in the Moderna trial either …
It [the CDC report] says the exact opposite of what the data says. They're giving people the impression that this vaccine will save your life, or save you from suffering, even if you've already had the virus and recovered, which has not been demonstrated in either the Pfizer or the Moderna trial.”
After multiple phone calls, CDC deputy director Dr. Anne Schuchat finally acknowledged the error and told Massie it would be fixed. “As you note correctly, there is not sufficient analysis to show that in the subset of only the people with prior infection, there's efficacy. So, you're correct that that sentence is wrong and that we need to make a correction of it,” Schuchat said in the recorded call.
January 29, 2021, the CDC issued its supposed correction, but rather than fix the error, they simply rephrased the mistake in a different way. This was the “correction” they issued:
“Consistent high efficacy (≥92%) was observed across age, sex, race, and ethnicity categories and among persons with underlying medical conditions. Efficacy was similarly high in a secondary analysis including participants both with or without evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.”
As you can see, the “correction” still misleadingly suggests that vaccination is effective for those previously infected, even though the data showed no such thing. Children of ever-younger ages are also being pushed to get the COVID jab, even though they have the absolute lowest risk of dying from COVID-19 of any group.
Data23 from the first 12 months of the pandemic in the U.K. show just 25 people under the age of 18 died from or with COVID-19.24 In all, 251 children under 18 were admitted to intensive care between March 2020 and February 2021. The absolute risk of death from COVID-19 in children is 2 in 1 million.
While some claim vaccine-induced immunity offers greater protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection than natural immunity, historical and current real-world data simply fail to support this non-common sense assertion.
As recently reported by Attkisson25,26 and David Rosenberg 7 Israeli National News,27 recent Israeli data show those who have received the COVID jab are 6.72 times more likely to get infected than people who have recovered from natural infection.
Among the 7,700 new COVID cases diagnosed so far during the current wave of infections that began in May 2021, 39% were vaccinated (about 3,000 cases), 1% (72 patients) had recovered from a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and 60% were neither vaccinated nor previously infected. Israeli National News notes:28
“With a total of 835,792 Israelis known to have recovered from the virus, the 72 instances of reinfection amount to 0.0086% of people who were already infected with COVID.
By contrast, Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection, with over 3,000 of the 5,193,499, or 0.0578%, of Israelis who were vaccinated getting infected in the latest wave.”
Other Israeli data also suggest the limited protection offered by the COVID shot is rapidly eroding. August 1, 2021, director of Israel’s Public Health Services, Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, announced half of all COVID-19 infections were among the fully vaccinated.29 Signs of more serious disease among fully vaccinated are also emerging, she said, particularly in those over the age of 60.
Even worse, August 5, Dr. Kobi Haviv, director of the Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, appeared on Channel 13 News, reporting that 95% of severely ill COVID-19 patients are fully vaccinated, and that they make up 85% to 90% of COVID-related hospitalizations overall.30
Other areas where a clear majority of residents have been vaccinated are also seeing spikes in breakthrough cases. In Gibraltar, which has a 99% COVID jab compliance rate, COVID cases have risen by 2,500% since June 1, 2021.31
An investigation by the CDC32,33 also dispels the narrative that we’re in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” An outbreak in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, resulted in 469 new COVID cases among residents who had traveled into town between July 3 and July 17, 2021.
Of these cases, 74% were fully vaccinated, as were 80% of those requiring hospitalization.Most, but not all, had the Delta variant of the virus. The CDC also found that fully vaccinated individuals who contract the infection had as high a viral load in their nasal passages as unvaccinated individuals who got infected.34 This means the vaccinated are just as infectious as the unvaccinated. According to Attkisson:35
“CDC's newest findings on so-called ‘breakthrough’ infections in vaccinated people are mirrored by other data releases. Illinois health officials recently announced36 more than 160 fully-vaccinated people have died of Covid-19, and at least 644 been hospitalized; 10 deaths and 51 hospitalizations counted in the prior week …
In July, New Jersey reported 49 fully vaccinated residents had died of Covid; 27 in Louisiana; 80 in Massachusetts … Nationally, as of July 12, CDC said it was aware of more than 4,400 people who got Covid-19 after being fully vaccinated and had to be hospitalized; and 1,063 fully vaccinated people who died of Covid.”
It is important to note this data is over 1 month old now and it is likely that many thousands of fully “vaccinated” have now died from COVID-19.
An argument we’re starting to hear more of now is that even though natural immunity after recovery from infection appears to be quite good, “we don’t know how long it’ll last.” This is rather disingenuous, seeing how natural immunity is typically lifelong, and studies have shown natural immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is at bare minimum longer lasting than vaccine-induced immunity.
Here’s a sampling of scholarly publications that have investigated natural immunity as it pertains to SARS-CoV-2 infection. There are several more in addition to these:37
Science Immunology October 202038 found that “RBD-targeted antibodies are excellent markers of previous and recent infection, that differential isotype measurements can help distinguish between recent and older infections, and that IgG responses persist over the first few months after infection and are highly correlated with neutralizing antibodies.” |
The BMJ January 202139 concluded that “Of 11, 000 health care workers who had proved evidence of infection during the first wave of the pandemic in the U.K. between March and April 2020, none had symptomatic reinfection in the second wave of the virus between October and November 2020.” |
Science February 202140 reported that “Substantial immune memory is generated after COVID-19, involving all four major types of immune memory [antibodies, memory B cells, memory CD8+ T cells, and memory CD4+ T cells]. About 95% of subjects retained immune memory at ~6 months after infection. Circulating antibody titers were not predictive of T cell memory. Thus, simple serological tests for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies do not reflect the richness and durability of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2.” A 2,800-person study found no symptomatic reinfections over a ~118-day window, and a 1,246-person study observed no symptomatic reinfections over 6 months. |
A February 2021 study posted on the prepublication server medRxiv41 concluded that “Natural infection appears to elicit strong protection against reinfection with an efficacy ~95% for at least seven months.” |
An April 2021 study posted on medRxiv42 reported “the overall estimated level of protection from prior SARS-CoV-2 infection for documented infection is 94.8%; hospitalization 94.1%; and severe illness 96·4%. Our results question the need to vaccinate previously-infected individuals.” |
Another April 2021 study posted on the preprint server BioRxiv43 concluded that “following a typical case of mild COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ T cells not only persist but continuously differentiate in a coordinated fashion well into convalescence, into a state characteristic of long-lived, self-renewing memory.” |
A May 2020 report in the journal Immunity44 confirmed that SARS-CoV-2-specific neutralizing antibodies are detected in COVID-19 convalescent subjects, as well as cellular immune responses. Here, they found that neutralizing antibody titers do correlate with the number of virus-specific T cells. |
A May 2021 Nature article45 found SARS-CoV-2 infection induces long-lived bone marrow plasma cells, which are a crucial source of protective antibodies. Even after mild infection, anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibodies were detectable beyond 11 months’ post-infection. |
A May 2021 study in E Clinical Medicine46 found “antibody detection is possible for almost a year post-natural infection of COVID-19.” According to the authors, “Based on current evidence, we hypothesize that antibodies to both S and N-proteins after natural infection may persist for longer than previously thought, thereby providing evidence of sustainability that may influence post-pandemic planning.” |
Cure-Hub data47 confirm that while COVID shots can generate higher antibody levels than natural infection, this does not mean vaccine-induced immunity is more protective. Importantly, natural immunity confers much wider protection as your body recognizes all five proteins of the virus and not just one. With the COVID shot, your body only recognizes one of these proteins, the spike protein. |
A June 2021 Nature article48 points out that “Wang et al. show that, between 6 and 12 months after infection, the concentration of neutralizing antibodies remains unchanged. That the acute immune reaction extends even beyond six months is suggested by the authors’ analysis of SARS-CoV-2-specific memory B cells in the blood of the convalescent individuals over the course of the year. These memory B cells continuously enhance the reactivity of their SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies through a process known as somatic hypermutation. The good news is that the evidence thus far predicts that infection with SARS-CoV-2 induces long-term immunity in most individuals.” |
Another June Nature paper concluded that “In the absence of vaccination antibody reactivity [to the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2], neutralizing activity and the number of RBD-specific memory B cells remain relatively stable from 6 to 12 months.” According to the authors, the data suggest “immunity in convalescent individuals will be very long lasting.”
|
The reason natural immunity is superior to vaccine-induced immunity is because viruses contain five different proteins. The COVID shot induces antibodies against just one of those proteins, the spike protein, and no T cell immunity. When you’re infected with the whole virus, you develop antibodies against all parts of the virus, plus memory T cells.
This also means natural immunity offers better protection against variants, as it recognizes several parts of the virus. If there are significant alternations to the spike protein, as with the Delta variant, vaccine-induced immunity can be evaded. Not so with natural immunity, as the other proteins are still recognized and attacked.
Not only that but the COVID jabs actually actively promote the production of variants for which they provide virtually no protection at all, while those with natural immunity do not cause variants and are nearly universally protected against them.
If we are to depend on vaccine-induced immunity, as public health officials are urging us to do, we’ll end up on a never-ending booster treadmill. Boosters will absolutely be necessary, as the shot offers such narrow protection against a single protein of the virus. Already, Moderna has publicly stated that the need for additional boosters is expected.49
Government agencies typically don’t issue recommendations without ulterior motives. Since current recommendations make absolutely no sense from a medical and scientific standpoint, what might the reason be for these illogical and reprehensibly unethical recommendations to inject people who don’t need it with experimental gene modification technology?
Why are they so hell-bent on getting a needle in every arm? And why are they refusing to perform any kind of risk-benefit analysis?
Data already indicate these COVID-19 injections could be the most dangerous medical product we’ve ever seen, and a June 24, 2021, peer-reviewed study published in the medical journal Vaccines warned we are in fact killing nearly as many with the shots as would die from COVID-19 itself.50
Using data from a large Israeli field study and two European drug reactions databases, they recalculated the NNTV for Pfizer’s mRNA shot. To prevent one case of COVID-19, anywhere between 200 and 700 had to be injected. To prevent a single death, the NNTV was between 9,000 and 50,000, with 16,000 as a point estimate.
Meanwhile, the number of people reporting adverse reactions from the shots was 700 per 100,000 vaccinations. For serious side effects, there were 16 reports per 100,000 vaccinations, and the number of fatal side effects was 4.11 per 100,000 vaccinations.
The final calculation suggested that for every three COVID-19 deaths prevented, two died from the shots. “This lack of clear benefit should cause governments to rethink their vaccination policy,” the authors concluded.
As has become the trend, a letter expressing “concern” about the study was published June 28, 2021, resulting in the paper being abruptly retracted July 2, 2021, against the authors’ objections. They disagreed with the accusation that their data and subsequent conclusion were misrepresentative, but the paper was retracted before they had time to publish a rebuttal.
Based on everything we’ve discovered so far, it seems a pandemic virus industrial complex is running the show, with a goal to eliminate medical rights and personal freedoms in order to centralize power, control and wealth.
By the looks of things, the COVID-19 mass psychosis and loss of any rational thinking by nearly half the population will continue to persist as long as the propaganda continues. Fear will continue and if need be, other engineered viruses may be released, for which they’ll create even more gene modification injections.
I believe the truth will eventually be so overwhelming, it’ll sweep away the confusion and the lies.
