We are a year and half into the world’s nightmare of COVID-19, also known as the Chinese coronavirus, based on where this demon virus originated and spread from, either intentionally or inadvertently.
We have been told to not wear masks, then wear one mask, then two masks, then no masks indoors. Now we are back to indoor masking and soon outdoor masking, too.
The same “experts” told us that the vaccines were safe and effective, the pathway out of this nightmare. If we were vaccinated we no longer had to wear a mask, at least as of last May, according to the CDC. Two months later they reversed course, recommending mask wearing indoors even if fully vaccinated.
Celebrities, from Pele to Dolly Parton, are endorsing the vaccines, showing photos of themselves getting jabbed. Yet despite half of American adults being fully vaccinated, cases are rising, as this CNN headline screams.
Do the vaccines work or not? Depending on the day and pronouncement, it is hard to know.
First, the COVID “vaccines” are not true vaccines based on the definitions of vaccine. Rather than the “vaccine” containing attenuated virus, it is a strand of messenger RNA, based on genetic code provided by China and serving as the basis for these novel “vaccines” which cause the body to create spike protein which in turn supposedly generates an immune response in the vaccinated to supposedly provide short or long term immunity. How long that immunity lasts is anyone’s guess.
I say “supposedly” frequently as it seems no one knows anything for sure. The New York Times belatedly acknowledged, “There’s much to learn about how the virus spreads.” Tell that to the CNN and MSNBC anchors who think they have it all figured out.
Just because mRNA vaccines represent new technology doesn’t mean it won’t work or it’s bad. But it is a leap of faith assuming genetic code received from China is accurate and doesn’t contain any malicious bits. We can now 3D print organs. If an adversary country sent us computer code to 3D print a new kidney, would we rely on such code to be safe and effective?
Do vaccines prevent illness or simply mitigate things? The influenza or flu vaccine is about 50 percent effective, meaning many still get the flu. The COVID vaccine trials’ primary endpoint, confirmed cases at least two weeks post-vaccination, was met, as was the secondary endpoint of reducing severe cases.
Watching the news today, one wonders how effective the vaccine really is. Distrust was sowed early by President Biden and Vice-President Harris who didn’t trust the vaccines and would refuse to take them “if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it.”
No wonder there is distrust in vaccines. Biden, who we’re told got over 80 million votes, 25 percent more than Barack Obama in 2012, must be trusted and revered by many Americans. If he said he didn’t trust Operation Warp Speed and the resulting vaccines, many Americans followed his lead.
Hence lotteries and cash incentives to take the vaccine, as the carrot. Now the stick of getting vaxxed or being fired. This is the approach hospitals and businesses are taking. For a vaccine that works, Americans should be eager to receive it. Yet only half of American adults have been fully vaccinated.
It’s not, as the media likes to claim, that only MAGA country is unvaccinated. For example, Georgia, which voted for Biden over Trump, and elected two Democrat senators, ranks 45th in vaccination, with only 38 percent of its population vaccinated, far below the national average. Bronx and Brooklyn, hardly Trump country, are only 45 and 48 percent respectively, fully vaccinated, below the national average.
If the vaccines work, why do we see headlines like this? “Tennessee experiences 27 deaths in more than 1,000 breakthrough cases among vaccinated individuals.” Or from a solid non-MAGA blue state, “49 people who were fully vaccinated have died of COVID in NJ.” From the Washington Post, “Three fourths of those infected in Mass. outbreak were vaccinated.” Do the vaccines work or not? Or were the vaccine expectations overly optimistic?
Chinese coronavirus cases peaked in the U.S. in early January, before anyone was fully vaccinated, and have been declining since, until a recent uptick in positive tests. Cases in India peaked in early May and then precipitously dropped despite only 7 percent of the population being fully vaccinated. In these cases, the vaccine could not have been responsible for the declines.
Maybe it’s the COVID test. A positive test is not necessarily a case, particularly in those who are asymptomatic or immune from previous infection or vaccination. How did 9 New York Yankees test positive after being vaccinated? Or number one golfer in the world Jon Rahm, testing positive and being booted from the Olympics despite having had COVID and being vaccinated?
This is the same test that was “positive” when a goat and paw paw fruit were tested in Tanzania last year.
The question is not only whether the vaccines work but also if the testing works? It seems we really don’t know.
Does the CDC want to investigate any of these issues? It seems they do not, declining to investigate mild infections in vaccinated individuals. Wouldn’t be relevant, especially when the vaccines are not yet FDA-approved, and their real-world efficacy would be relevant to the FDA in making an approval decision?
Not looking for or recording breakthrough cases is a good way to not have any, but that’s not science. It’s like the old medical school axiom, “If you don’t take a temperature you won’t find a fever.”
The clown show continues. Now the CDC wants vaccinated individuals to be tested after COVID exposure even without symptoms. Exposure might mean a few viral fragments in your nose, and with a PCR test using a cycle threshold of 40 or higher, you will test positive. And be sent home from work or the Olympics. Even if you are not sick or contagious.
How many of us are carrying insignificant and irrelevant bits of all sorts of bacteria and viruses? So what? Should we all live in a bubble?
The Surgeon General thinks so. He is now, “recommending fully vaccinated people wear masks outdoors to protect the unvaccinated.” His predecessor, a year and a half ago, said the opposite, that the general public shouldn’t be buying or wearing masks. So, which is it? Have decades of infectious disease science changed in a year?
If masks are effective, then why the concern over who is vaccinated or not? Those vaccinated should be safe and don’t need to wear a mask to protect themselves. Those unvaccinated shouldn’t be at risk from the vaccinated if the vaccines work. Confused yet?
If the COVID test is accurate, why are previously infected and/or vaccinated testing positive, upending their lives and livelihoods? Does the test distinguish between the flu and COVID, as the CDC quietly acknowledged that current tests may not? This might explain the absence of influenza this past season as those with the flu may have been misdiagnosed as having COVID.
We now hear from the CDC, via leaked documents, from the administration with the “highest standards of transparency”, that the latest Greek letter variant, “spreads from fully vaccinated people at the same rate as unvaccinated people.” In other words, those getting vaccinated from the virus are still getting the virus. Meaning the touted vaccines are accomplishing what?
The Los Angeles Unified School District acknowledges that the vaccines accomplish little. They are mandating all students and employees, regardless of vaccination status, have a weekly COVID test. So why get vaccinated, especially for those who already have antibodies? Half of LA County residents may have already had COVID, providing better immunity than a vaccine.
Imagine if the Chinese coronavirus was treated sensibly as previous viral pandemics were, without faulty tests, mass testing of asymptomatic individuals, inflated case and death counts, media censorship of any challenge to establishment dogma, discounting the potential merits of safe therapeutics, all in favor of a vaccine that may not be working as advertised. What if herd immunity was considered the pathway forward rather than QAnon conspiracy theory? Was it ever about the virus or furthering a political agenda?

I think Reader has it right here — the only purpose of this exercise is to muzzle us. Here’s what’s happening in Australia, besides soldiers forcing people to stay in their homes:

Here is the link for the original study
>COVID-19 Vaccine Safety in Adolescents Aged 12–17 Years — United States, December 14, 2020–July 16, 2021
This is bad. This study was simply a review of data on VAERS which is entirely incomplete, estimated to be off by a factor of 10X-100X.
CDC found 9246 adverse reactions among children. Of these, all but ~860 were deemed to not be classified as serious or severe. Of these 860, 397 were found to have myocarditis, that makes up 46.1% of these severe cases. These 397 children make up 4.3% of all adverse reactions. 14 children died of various causes, but 6 of them have cause of death unknown pending further info for now. The authors do note that these 397 children are only those who were reported in the passive reporting system and only those who could be determined to have myocarditis(or myopericarditis). Dr. Malone(inventor of the mRNA vaccines and lifelong researcher including human trials to this day) noted on his twitter acct that
That is to say the risks outway the benefits.
CDC does not agree and the vaccinations will continue.
https://www.jpost.com/health-science/israeli-lab-some-existing-drugs-could-stop-covid-at-almost-100-percent-674426. This is the URL for the Jerusalem Post report that “some existing drugs could stop covid at nearly 100 percent.”
This article was published in the Jerusalem Post on July 21 of this year. BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSE TO IT BY THE ISRAEL MINISTRY OF HEALTH, THE CDC, OR WHO. These institutions continue to show no interest in promoting the use pf these 18 medications with curative potential. The worldwide pharmaceutical companies are extremely corrupt, and they seem to have the WHO, CDC, and other national health institutions in many other countries completely under their thumb. AS a result, effective treatments CVi-2 have been suppressed, and millions , probably tens of millions of people whose lives could have been saved have needlessly died.
They want to train everybody to wear a muzzle at all times everywhere.
This is the reason (or one of the reasons).
When this is accomplished, they might stop terrorizing us with the virus (or they might not).
https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/lindsey-graham-says-he-has-tested-positive-for-covid-19-675673. Senator Lindsay Graham has contracted symptomatic CV-2 even though he is fully vaccinated.
https://www.jpost.com/health-science/israeli-scientist-says-covid-19-could-be-treated-for-under-1day-675612. This is a very important article in the Jerusalem Post. It describes how one of Israel’s leading epidemiologists, a Dr. Shwartz, conducted a “double blind” very thorough study of how effective ivervection was in treating CV-2. He discovered that it was very effective. Of those he treated who were sy mptomatic, only one required hospitalization. Three of those in the control group did require hospitalization. The number of those patient who remained symptomatic in the control group after six days was three times the number who had been given ivermectin.
Dr. Shwartz conducted this study way back in May 2020 in Israel. But it was only published very recently, in a relatively small-circulation specialized medical journal that is not considered one of the major, widely read and prestigious medical journals. Over the past year Dr. Shwartz submitted the article to several of these high-prestige journals, but they all refused to publish it. Dr. Shwartz believes that they would not accept the article because they were afraid of Big Pharma, which wants no competition with its vaccines. He also mentions that the CDC and the WHO have banned ivermectin with out any good reason. He thinks that they too were complying with the wishes of Big Pharma, while making up false reasons for the ban. Dr. Shwartz points out that ivermectin has been used for many years to treat a whole host of diseases, including AIDS, and harmful side effects have been extremely rare.
I have summarized this article from the JP because they go to great lenghs to prevent anyone from copying their articles, which are all copyrighted. Power, I ask everyone to read the article for themselves and draw their own conclusions.
If early treatments and prophylaxis were pursued it could seriously limit the people who become ill(as the treatments have been seen to be quite effective) and it could also limit the variants being created(as the virus will freely replicate in fewer people, so fewer accidental mutations would occur). There is no independent estimate of safety or efficacy as of today. There is also no reason for the FDA not to pursue and release this data to the public. There should be no deaths, as vaccines are suppose to prevent illness by definition. The number of deaths has recently been cut in half while a whistleblower has stated under oath that the number should be around 50,000, so there is little I can add to that beyond mentioning it. But regardless of anything, there should be no reason not to treat someone who is ill. It is barbaric that such low practices are allowed anywhere, much less mandated by the US govt with no explanation.
This vaccine is very safe. Go to the CDC VEARS site and you will see that the death rate from the vaccine is extremely low, 5990 deaths vs. about 200,000,000 vaccinated. New variants are developing rapidly because some many people are infected. If too many people aren’t vaccinated we may get a variant that is really deadly. As far as the lack of testing talked about by peloni1986 they are correct that this one was rushed ( by the Trump team) but this was a national emergency . We don’t have the luxury of time. These mrna vaccines work. Even though there are breakthru cases they are mild and most require no hospitalization. However, those who are unvaccinated will really suffer with an expected 150,000+ expected to die.
There is no foundational data available which could explain very reasonable concerns that have been raised by many. Indeed these vaccine programs have no oversights that are required of all vaccines and human trials. The missing foundational testings were a result of a perceived need of something while the CDC forbade treatment to be administered in to the ill. We didn’t have 10yrs so we are here today, but there are many overview boards that monitor and secure the interests of all human trials and are not established anywhere. It is better to right the ship late than to let it continue to sail without such established protocols, and the implementation of oversight measures can be very useful in detecting benefits and harms alike. A critical event committee, a safety monitoring board, a human ethics committee are among the elements of review if a new formulation of aspirin were to be tested among 50 people. Indeed, these are part of the oversight measures employed in every human drug trial and are all missing everywhere from this world wide human experiment. There is no reason for this and no excuse why such oversight should not be employed immediately. It is reprehensible that it had ever been allowed and criminal that the CDC has not corrected this still to this day. Furthermore, need I mention again there is still no early treatments while treatments were always available. Too many things that could be excused due to the early chaos of this plague have steadily been left uncorrected and unexplained while mandating more injections. These questions need answers. If the Americans will not provide them, they can be obtained by any nation committed towards treating the ill and providing proper oversight management.
