A Few Insights Based on CDC Data Regarding COVID and its Vaccines

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

My background is as a casualty actuary. I am used to looking at data from standard sources and trying to make some sense of it. I am hesitant to take someone else’s word for what the data show because I know that it is easy for mistakes to creep in. In this post, I will provide observations based on data from the databases of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Johns Hopkins University. Hopefully, some of these observations will prove insightful.

I am aware that the proper reference for COVID is “COVID-19.” In this post, I have elected to use the shorter reference, except when shown in an exhibit prepared using software developed by someone else (Figure 3).

[1] Recent data show that COVID vaccines don’t really prevent a person from catching and passing along the virus that causes COVID. The CDC has recently changed its guidance to reflect the fact that the vaccines mostly reduce the chance of severe illness. Vaccines are still recommended by the CDC, not because they reduce transmission, but because they may reduce COVID-related healthcare costs.

Figure 1. Number of US vaccine doses provided to various age groups, based on data from a CDC database.

It is clear from Figure 1 that the big initial push for vaccine delivery peaked around April 2021. The rollout was substantially accomplished by July 2021. Then there was a second, lower peak, related primarily to boosters in the November 2021 to January 2022 period.

Figure 2 shows the pattern of newly reported COVID cases, relative to the first round of COVID vaccinations, based on data reported to the Johns Hopkins University database.

Figure 2.US reported COVID cases by month based on data from the Johns Hopkins University database.

Clearly, the first round of vaccinations did not put an end to new COVID cases. In fact, the CDC started becoming concerned about transmission among the vaccinated as early as July 2021. At that time, it started recommending that everyone wear a mask in conditions that represented high transmission. It also began using the term breakthrough infection to describe the (hopefully uncommon) condition of coming down with COVID after being vaccinated.

In fact, back when the Delta wave hit in the fall of 2021, it was possible to blame at least part of the problem on the lesser-vaccinated Southern part of the US. The well-vaccinated Northeast seemed to fare relatively much better (Figure 3).

Figure 3. US reported COVID cases (moving 7-day average, relative to population) by part of the US based on data from the Johns Hopkins University database. Visualization is available at this web address.

Figure 3 indicates that a quite different situation occurred when the Omicron variant hit close to the beginning of 2022. The heavily vaccinated Northeast clearly led the way, both in timing and in the number of COVID cases relative to population. The relatively less vaccinated South was much lower, close to the Midwest in its number of cases, relative to population.

The Omicron variant is very different from the original Wuhan version of the virus. This difference between virus variants is at least part reason that current mRNA vaccines fail to block transmission of the Omicron virus. Instead, current vaccines mostly reduce severe symptoms. This is very similar to the explanation we have heard when getting influenza vaccines each year. Researchers make a guess with respect to which particular strains will be circulating the following year. The level of protection will vary, depending upon whether the researchers’ guesses prove to be accurate the following year.

There are also indications from patterns elsewhere (and from theory) that it is not good practice to vaccinate at the time a virus is already starting to circulate widely. The booster vaccinations that took place in November and December 2021 (Figure 1) may have inadvertently raised, rather than lowered, their recipients’ chances of catching COVID. But, of course, the illness would be (on average) relatively mild. This lower severity of outcome is to be expected, partly because the mutated virus seems to be less virulent than the Wuhan COVID virus, and partly because the vaccines tend to reduce the severity of the disease.

The CDC started moving in the direction of treating vaccinated and unvaccinated people alike back in July 2021. Now, with the evidence from the Omicron wave coming in, it has had no choice but to move even further in the direction of treating everyone alike. For example, for domestic travel, the CDC recommends tests for both vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers if there is a concern about COVID. Recent CDC recommendations with respect to the wearing of masks do not depend upon vaccine status, either.

The idea of requiring everyone to be vaccinated likely originated from the cost-savings and profits that were expected to occur if people could be vaccinated and kept out of hospitals. Employers were very much in favor of such cost-savings because their workers likely would be able to stay on the job more of the time. Insurance companies were in favor of such an approach as well, because it would lower health care claim costs. Hospitals and physicians were in favor of the recommended COVID vaccines because physicians could perform more elective surgery (and thus make more money) if the hospitals were not full of COVID patients. Of course, the drug companies selling vaccines were in favor of selling more vaccines, too.

Furthermore, we know from prior experience with viruses that the ability to stop transmission with a vaccine varies greatly from virus to virus. Forecasting that any proposed vaccine will prevent transmission is a very “iffy” proposition. The viruses that cause the common cold, HIV and SARS are related (in some way) to the virus that causes COVID. Despite decades of research, none of these viruses has a successful vaccine. This suggests that COVID cannot be stopped by a vaccine, either. We also know, in general, that if a virus jumps from an animal to human hosts, transmission can only be stopped if all of the animal hosts are successfully vaccinated, as well.

[2] COVID vaccines used in the US do not seem to have done much to reduce total COVID deaths.

Figure 4. Number of US COVID deaths by month on two slightly different reporting bases. CDC data are based on death certificate data, reported up to several months after the date of the death, but backdated to the date of actual death. Thus, its indications will tend to be low for recent months. The Johns Hopkins University database contains reports sent in by providers. It should be more complete for recent dates.

Vaccinations started in December of 2020, but there were about 20% more COVID deaths in 2021 than in 2020. Part of the problem is that after the Delta peak in deaths in September, deaths never retreated to zero, or close to zero. COVID deaths immediately began increasing with the Omicron peak. While there was a lull during March 2022 in reported cases (Figures 2 and 3), data for April and May seem to indicate that reported cases are again on an upward path.

If today’s vaccines really worked as people initially hoped, I would expect to see a lot more progress in reducing new cases than shown to date.

[3] Data from OurWorldInData.org provides excess mortality indications for five age groupings. This data indicates that Ages 15-64 were particularly hard hit by the last two waves of COVID (Delta and Omicron). Ages 85+ were hit very lightly.

Figure 5. Chart prepared by OurWorldInData.org showing excess mortality.

Since these charts are for all causes of death combined, they will reflect deaths that might have occurred due to other problems of the 2020 to 2022 period, in addition to COVID deaths. For example, increased suicides and homicides would be included, as would a rise in drug overdoses and motor vehicle accidents. If there are deaths stemming from the use of vaccines, these deaths would be included in the total deaths from all causes, as well.

The rise in deaths in the Ages 15-64 grouping is particularly striking. This group is known for being more likely to be depressed by the events of the day. The base number of expected deaths is relatively lower than for the older ages. This allows the deaths from newly increased causes to magnify the total death rate of the period by a greater factor. Life insurance companies have been complaining about the high numbers of deaths experienced on their policies, predominantly for this age group.

The strikingly low deaths in the Ages 85+ group in 2021 may reflect the working of the vaccine. There might be other causes as well. Some of the weaker members of this group likely died in 2020, leaving fewer to die in 2021. This lower death rate may also reflect the impact of antibodies gained from catching COVID in 2020. People included in Ages 85+, more frequently than younger age groups, lived in care homes of various kinds during 2020. In this setting, they were more exposed to the early rounds of COVID than those living in home settings. Thus, they had more of a chance to develop antibodies from catching the illness.

[4] If we prepare charts showing provisional mortality data for 2021, together with similar indications for prior years, we can see how US mortality rates have been changing for different age groups. We can also see the relative role of COVID cases in these changes.

Figure 6. Death rates for four youngest age groupings, based on CDC Provisional Mortality Data for various years.

The CDC data show mortality rates based on deaths from all causes. For the years 2020 and 2021, it gives a separate indication of mortality associated with COVID. The orange line represents what the mortality would be if all COVID deaths (using a broad definition of COVID death, based on COVID appearing as “any cause” on the death certificate) were removed.

COVID vaccines were not available until mid-December 2020, and then for only a very small group, so the difference in the orange and blue lines at the 2020 point represents the number of COVID deaths for the age group, before the vaccines became available. The 2021 difference between the two lines represents the number of deaths from COVID taking into account whatever vaccines were used for this age group. We might expect the gap between the blue and orange lines to become smaller in 2021 than in 2020 if the vaccines given to the particular age group (or the prior antibodies from catching the illness) were making a significant change in reducing COVID cases in 2021.

Looking at Figure 6, COVID has essentially no impact on babies under Age 1. The total number of deaths seemed to drop more than usual in 2020, perhaps partly because mothers were at home more. For Ages 1-4, death rates are up in 2021, but not because of COVID. COVID seems to play practically no role in the mortality of Ages 5-14 and at most a very minor role for Ages 15-24. For the latter group, mortality is significantly up in both 2020 and 2021, perhaps because of more suicides and risky behavior resulting in death (such as car accidents and drug overdoses).

Figure 7. Death rates per 100,000 for four groupings between ages 25 and 64, based on CDC Provisional Mortality Data for various years.

We can see similar patterns to what we saw for Ages 15-24 in the chart above, but with progressively more COVID in the mix of causes leading to the uptick in the overall death rates. The share of COVID cases in the mix rises in 2021 relative to 2020 for all of these age groupings, despite the vaccines and prior immunity which should start building up (if immunity is truly “durable,” something that is not always the case).

Figure 8. Death rates for three groups from age 65 and up, based on CDC Provisional Mortality Data for various years.

It is only when we get to these oldest ages that death rates stop increasing in 2021. In fact, when the impact of COVID deaths is removed, the death rates seem to be improving. These age groups tended to get the vaccine early. They also lost quite a few sickly members in 2020, when the first round of COVID hit. The remaining group may be in somewhat better health than the original mix. Also, as mentioned in Section [3], they may also have more antibodies from actually catching COVID during 202o, while living in a care home.

[5] We can perhaps get an inkling of what is going wrong with death rates by comparing deaths by cause for January 2020, January 2021, and January 2022, based on monthly provisional death data.

A sample of one month is not very much, but January tends to be bad for mortality because the cold weather encourages dry indoor conditions, especially in the colder parts of the country. People tend to stay inside more because of cold weather. Vitamin D levels tend to be low because of lower sunlight exposure. Communicable disease deaths, including those of COVID, tend to be high at this time of year.

Figure 9. Chart prepared by Gail Tverberg using CDC data for Select Natural Causes. Amounts for January 2022 are likely somewhat incomplete because of the lag in death certificate preparation.

Looking at Figure 9, the first thing we notice is that total January 2022 deaths from natural causes are still outrageously high compared with January 2020 deaths. These deaths exclude deaths from suicides, drug overdoses, car accidents and many other unnatural causes that we know are trending up substantially, so the overall situation is probably even worse than natural death indications would suggest.

One thing we notice is that heart disease deaths seem to be trending higher. This could be a fluke, or it might be caused by COVID or the vaccines (or both). Investigation might be useful.

Cancer deaths, at least based on this tiny sample, seem to be flat. This suggests that fears of a rapid rise in cancer deaths because of vaccine-related issues may be unwarranted.

COVID deaths in January 2022 are down from their very elevated level in January 2021.

Cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and kidney disease deaths all are higher, in this very small sample. These diseases would all seem to possibly be influenced by a greater number of COVID cases or perhaps by side effects associated with vaccines or with treatments. Researchers interested in these topics should be aware that data are being collected that might give insight into changes in the number of deaths associated with these causes.

One thing that alarmed me when I looked at the CDC’s list of “selected” natural causes is that the list of diseases for which data is given is not very complete. One grouping that clearly has been omitted is diseases of the liver. I would strongly suspect that deaths from diseases of the liver are rising, if people have been staying at home and drinking more alcoholic beverages.

[6] Conclusions and ideas for further examination.

Clearly, the CDC has a huge quantity of data that can be examined if anyone wants to put the time and energy into looking at it. Too often researchers coming from the biological sciences do not stop and think about using whatever data is available to support or refute their ideas, at least based on the evidence to date.

The significant increases in mortality for the many age groups between 15 and 64 would seem to suggest that something is going badly wrong. Someone should be examining these changes. If part of the problem is that vaccines are having serious side effects, this can perhaps be seen by analyzing deaths by cause for these age groups.

The lack of COVID cases in the youngest age groupings (babies and Ages 1-4) would suggest that vaccines are not really needed for these age groupings. Babies don’t excessively fill hospitals with COVID cases. Training their immune systems to look for a long-extinct version of the virus cannot be very helpful in the long run.

If the underlying purpose of vaccines is to help the profitability of big companies, hospitals, doctors and vaccine-makers, this makes a big difference in our understanding of what we are being told. Clearly, the government is also a big employer; its ability to stay within its budget is enhanced by holding down the hospital and other medical costs of its employees. For example, if the government wants the hospitalization costs and work lost by those in the US Army and US Navy to be as low as possible, it will mandate vaccines for these employees. The CDC, being a government agency, cannot help but be at least somewhat influenced by what government leaders are demanding when interpreting scientific evidence.

The government cannot explain that the reason it wants everyone to be vaccinated has essentially nothing to do with disease transmission, without upsetting many people, so it publicizes its change in stance with respect to vaccines as little as possible. Businesses do not want it known that their reason for demanding vaccines is to hold down their own COVID healthcare costs, so they are not anxious to publicize the underlying reason, either. Thus, the vast majority of citizens are not aware of the fact that even with boosters, their chance of catching COVID and passing it along to others is still very high. Studies seem to indicate that boosters may provide an individual person with a short window (6 weeks, or so) of lower likelihood of catching COVID, but the overall effect is not enough to reduce the overall pattern of disease transmission.

If a vaccine against Omicron is developed, we need to be aware that there is a high probability that by the time the vaccine is widely distributed, the virus will have mutated sufficiently that its only benefit will be to somewhat reduce the severity of whatever version of COVID is prevalent at the time the next wave of cases appears. Thus, we cannot hope that with a better-directed vaccine, it will make any substantial difference in disease transmission. Thus, we should expect that the major benefit will always be “reduced healthcare costs with respect to COVID.”

There are quite a few people who have discovered from reading on-line articles that there are ways of potentially reducing the severity of COVID besides receiving the vaccine. These include raising vitamin D levels in advance of contracting COVID and taking any number of common, inexpensive drugs (including aspirin) if the disease does hit. They also recognize that the long-term effects of the vaccines are unknown. For example, if repeated too many times, the vaccines may damage the immune system, according to some analyses. The views of these vaccine-refusers need to be respected. The vaccine-refusers can easily be turned into scapegoats.

About Gail Tverberg

My name is Gail Tverberg. I am an actuary interested in finite world issues - oil depletion, natural gas depletion, water shortages, and climate change. Oil limits look very different from what most expect, with high prices leading to recession, and low prices leading to financial problems for oil producers and for oil exporting countries. We are really dealing with a physics problem that affects many parts of the economy at once, including wages and the financial system. I try to look at the overall problem.

    Looks like the lights of BAU are flickering….

    June 10 (Reuters) – The power grid operator in the Central United States warned on Friday that problems it may experience keeping the lights on this summer could also occur during the summers of 2023, 2024 and beyond.

    The region’s grid operator, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), has already warned of potential capacity shortfalls and other reliability concerns in parts of its territory this summer.

    The northern and central regions are at “increased risk of temporary, controlled outages to preserve the integrity of the bulk electric system,” MISO has said.

    MISO operates the grid for some 42 million people in 15 U.S. central states from Minnesota to Louisiana and the Canadian province of Manitoba.
    On Friday, MISO released a survey showing it could have a potential capacity deficit of 2.6 gigawatts (GW) during the summer of 2023 depending on market responses over the next year.

    One gigawatt can power about a million U.S. homes on average, but as little as 200,000 on a hot summer day.

    MISO’s biggest problem is that demand was rising at the same time generation resources have declined due mostly to the retirement of coal and nuclear plants for economic or environmental reasons.

    MISO said it may only have 119 GW of power resources available this summer to meet a projected peak demand of 124 GW.

    For 2024 and beyond, MISO said “the capacity deficits are projected to widen … due to declining committed capacity and modestly growing demand.”

    MISO officials were not immediately available to say what the grid would do to fix this problem.

    Sarah Freeman, president of the Organization of MISO States and commissioner with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, said in a statement: “States stand ready to work with MISO … to maintain reliability and resilience throughout this significant resource transformation.”

    don’t think OPEC has to worry that much more about US shale growth long term,” he said, adding that the firm “will be more cautious” through 2025.

    Supply-chain issues have also held the sector back from boosting production. Unique sand used for fracking is now in short supply, and prices have nearly tripled from where they stood just one year ago. That’s further hobbled the industry that’s crucial for matching supply with Americans’ extraordinary demand.

    “We can’t get enough sand,” Michael Oestmann, the CEO of Tall City Exploration, told Reuters in February. “We’re running less than the number of [fracking] stages we could pump in a day because we’ve run out of sand every day.”

    The author references hospitals wanting to keep costs down, implying it’s a sinister motive. Regardless of how a healthcare system is structured, keeping costs down is always paramount.

    The author’s focus on cost misses the mark. What the leaders in public health and hospital administration sought to prevent was filling hospital beds to, or over capacity. In spite of what Sarah Palin and her ilk had to say, death panels are an abomination to American healthcare. There’s nearly as much aversion towards providing the absolute minimum care, such as IV fluids to someone on a cot in a tent.

    The main concern is to make sure that people with broken ankles, inflamed-gallbladders, and chest pain can be treated.

    • Doctors and hospitals want to have beds available so that it is possible to do elective surgery. I talked about that issue. If the hospital beds are too full, elective surgery is what gets cut back. Surgeons of many types can’t earn much income if the hospitals are full of COVID patients who truly need care for COVID. Of course, the patients are unhappy as well.

    The following is just a theory I thought of.

    In NATO countries the effect of regulation almost seems to be inflationary. It seems like regulation is good for NATO economies. Regulation does good things for NATO economies by increasing demand for enforcement of regulation, and limiting the amount of workers participating in NATO economies. Wages would have been lower without the War on Drugs and maybe the inflation that began with the oil embargo in the 1970s would have persisted into the 1980s if there had been no War on Drugs. The War on Drugs may have kept everyone’s wages a little bit higher than they would have been if it was never undertaken.

    Instead of falling wages, what happened for many low wage workers, or workers who are required to take a drug test to be employed, is that their wages may have frozen maybe because the labor pool has been frozen so that there has been a fixed number of job seekers for decades despite a growing overall job seeking population for the last couple of decades. High-skill, elite workers saw wage increases. Rich people saw wage increases.

    Today I was thinning my Pinova apple tree. And now I have found this article:

    “In conclusion, the LiDAR measurements of the leaf area combined with a carbon balance model allows for the estimation of fruit bearing capacity for individual trees for precise crop load management.”

    “CONCLUSIONS
    1. It was demonstrated that the estimation of the daily leaf area demand per fruit to satisfy its C requirement, LAdemand, undergoes seasonal changes. When the foliage of the tree is fully developed, the fruit bearing capacity of the tree may be estimated using LAdemand in the period when fruit growth rates achieve their maximum extent.
    2. The estimation of the leaf area of individual trees using LiDAR scanning was shown to be feasible to allow for individual tree estimates of target fruit numbers.
    3. The fruit bearing capacity of individual trees varied within the orchards investigated. This was due to variation in the total leaf area per tree. Field uniform flower thinning resulted in an avoidable sub-optimal crop load above or below fruit bearing capacity in both orchards. When combined with the modelling of carbon supply and crop carbon demand, the optimal number of fruit may be estimated for each tree.”

    http://www.international-agrophysics.org/pdf-127540-55797?filename=Carbon%20consumption%20of.pdf

    It is the amount of carbon that determines the fruit bearing capacity. You need carbon for sugars. The difference between the wild trees and the cultural trees is the size of the fruit and its sugar content.

    “The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”

    https://biblehub.com/genesis/2-9.htm

    The fruit with a high sugar content gave energy to the human brain.

    “Best Sugars
    The best sugars for the brain are complex carbohydrates, or what grandmother termed “starches”. Starches and fruit sugars (fructose) do not cause the roller-coaster mood swings that the junk sugars do. The molecules in complex carbs are long. It takes longer for the intestines to break them down into the simple sugars the body can use. Thus, they provide a time-release source of steady energy rather than a sudden surge followed by a sudden drop.”

    https://www.askdrsears.com/topics/feeding-eating/family-nutrition/brain-foods/best-brain-foods-11-ways-foods-can-help-you-think/

    The Bible story about the first sin is about the gardne and agriculture, about the fruit and the grain, about the fructose and the starch.

    “The Case for Swapping Fructose for Starch
    In a 2017 study, Professor Lustig and his team replaced the sugar in the obese children’s diet for starch. Starch is made up of linked glucose-glucose units and is present in carbohydrates like rice, wheat, pasta, or potatoes. The children’s daily consumption of fructose decreased from 12% to 4% of calories, but the researchers ensure that their calories remain the same. This is to ensure that the effects seen would not be a result of reduced caloric intake.

    After only nine days of fructose restriction, liver fat decreased from 7.2% to 3.8%, visceral fat decreased from 123 to 110 cubic centimeter (cm3), and the liver fructose-fat conversion decreased from 68% to 26%. Insulin sensitivity measured by the oral glucose tolerance test improved as well. Importantly, their weight remained the same. In a separate analysis looking at a subgroup of these children, Professor Lustig also noted a decrease in blood pressure, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol compared to baseline.”

    ““Fructose metabolism is a primary nutrient used by many animals to gain fat mass,” a 2020 research review by researchers from the USA, Sweden, UK, Japan, and Korea wrote. “This has been shown to occur in long-distance migrating birds before their flights, in bears and other mammals preparing for hibernation, and also in certain types of fruit-eating fish such as the Pacu.””

    https://shinjieyong.medium.com/can-swapping-fructose-for-starch-improve-metabolic-health-b1407a9be50d

    “Which fruit contains starch?
    Bananas are starchy. Most fruits contain little if any starch. However, bananas and their relatives, plantains, contain more starch, especially if they aren’t very ripe.”

    https://www.livestrong.com/article/316069-starchy-fruits-vegetables/

    “The new study — drawing on clinical trials, basic science, and animal studies — concludes that fructose is more damaging to health than glucose.

    Lucan and DiNicolantonio lay out a series of findings that show the digestive tract doesn’t absorb fructose as well as other sugars. More fructose then goes into the liver. Too much fructose in the liver eventually creates a cascade of metabolic problems that includes fatty liver disease, systemic inflammation, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.”

    “There’s a hierarchy: starch, sucrose, which is half fructose, and then fructose,” Goran said.”

    • Somehow, tracking people becomes attractive when energy supplies are very low.

      China and Japan have been known for great uniformity of culture for a long time. A person doesn’t want to stand out. They tend to get promoted by seniority. Individual achievement does not seem to be considered very important. This tends to keep energy consumption low.

      In the US, we have perhaps gone overboard the other direction. Individuality is greatly admired. We hear endlessly about Elon Musk, Bill Gates and others.

      Tracking probably allows governments to keep energy consumption of everyone at a uniformly low rate. Governments fell that they can keep control of everyone that way.

      I have insufficient data to make a call on that. But I think everyone who is born will die. One of the schoolboy jokes we often used to repeat is “Life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease” — which in a manner of speaking, it is. Humans are designed by God or Evolution to be temporary.

      Making the wrong decisions can take you out early, though. Visiting a doctor is a risk to your health and life, and staying in a hospital is a greater one. And getting injected or hooked up to an intravenous drip requires a busload of faith in the physicians, the nurses, and the people who put the juice into the bags. They have a solution for every ill, I’m told.

      Taking a COVID-19 injectable or a bunch of them is clearly one of the wrong decisions—for a number of reasons I won’t go into here—but it is only one of a multitude of wrong decisions that most of us make and right decisions that we don’t make from a health standpoint during the course of our lives. These decisions add up.

      And a lot of the time we make the bad decisions and don’t make the good ones from the standpoint of optimizing our health, wealth, happiness and length of tenure in this vale of tears because we’ve been bamboozled into making them or not making them. We’re hypnotized, mind-controlled, brainwashed and living in a cult—the cult of Normieism. And that includes me. I like to tell myself I am out of the cult now, but I probably still have plenty of residual cultishness, some of which I may not even be aware of.

    • One must consider at least two variables:

      First, this is a global experiment, in which doses are not all the same to begin with.

      Second, production quality is sketchy, and the range of active material allowed is somewhat larger than in other drug offerings.

    Published:June 11, 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(22)00791-7
    Summary
    Background
    Several passive surveillance systems reported increased risks of myocarditis or pericarditis, or both, after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination, especially in young men. We used active surveillance from large health-care databases to quantify and enable the direct comparison of the risk of myocarditis or pericarditis, or both, after mRNA-1273 (Moderna) and BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech) vaccinations.
    …….

    Findings
    A total of 411 myocarditis or pericarditis, or both, events were observed among 15 148 369 people aged 18–64 years who received 16 912 716 doses of BNT162b2 and 10 631 554 doses of mRNA-1273. Among men aged 18–25 years, the pooled incidence rate was highest after the second dose, at 1·71 (95% CI 1·31 to 2·23) per 100 000 person-days for BNT162b2 and 2·17 (1·55 to 3·04) per 100 000 person-days for mRNA-1273. The pooled IRR in the head-to-head comparison of the two mRNA vaccines was 1·43 (95% CI 0·88 to 2·34), with an excess risk of 27·80 per million doses (–21·88 to 77·48) in mRNA-1273 recipients compared with BNT162b2.
    Interpretation
    An increased risk of myocarditis or pericarditis was observed after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination and was highest in men aged 18–25 years after a second dose of the vaccine. However, the incidence was rare. These results do not indicate a statistically significant risk difference between mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2, but it should not be ruled out that a difference might exist. Our study results, along with the benefit–risk profile, continue to support vaccination using either of the two mRNA vaccines.

    However it is rare…..right

            though I am being drawn to my own concept (which has a similar basis) that the planet might release zoonotic diseases in order to protect itself from our predations and excesses.

            we herd millions of animals (and ourselves) into unnatural close confinement, the result of which being that viruses that belong in other animals jump to us.

            The result being (in the past) mass culling of our numbers.

            In our time, the virus has the ultimate effect of disrupting our global economic system, and shutting down that which is putting at risk all other species on the planet.
            The precise details are irrelevant, it is the end result that’s important.

  23. Durwood Dugger says:

    There are two things that need to be considered discussing the COVID vaccines and there inability to reduce infection transmissions: First, true vaccines limit the infection transmission by the respective pathogen. Second, agents that only reduce symptoms of pathogen infections are generally innate immune system stimulants.

    There are a wide variety and types of immune system stimulants that trigger an increase in your innate immune system awareness of infections, increased production in immune system cell types, and immune system beneficial chemicals. Repeated frequent immune stimulant use can produce immune system fatigue. Additionally, the innate immune system when activated dramatically increases the need or Vit. C, which should be supplemented with immune stimulant usage.

    Most known innate immune system stimulants are cheaper than using an ineffective vaccine as an immune stimulant. Once the current vaccine ceased to have an infection transmission impact – reducing infection rates, then it became just one more type of innate immune system stimulant. It is quite likely that other known immune system stimulants could have been used just as effectively as the ineffective vaccines with less expense and limitations.

    The fact that this was not discussed openly, either means the CDC and other gov. health experts are grossly incompetent, or that there was a purposeful effort to support the ineffective vaccine (post Wuhan variant) and its producers and supporters economic beneficiaries at the general public’s expense both health wise and economically.

    • What you say makes very good sense:

      First, true vaccines limit the infection transmission by the respective pathogen. Second, agents that only reduce symptoms of pathogen infections are generally innate immune system stimulants.

      In fact, your whole comment makes very good sense.

      I had not realized this:

      . . . .the innate immune system when activated dramatically increases the need [f]or Vit. C, which should be supplemented with immune stimulant usage.

      .

      Perhaps those who are having difficulties after a recent booster vaccine should be taking vitamin C to help counteract those problems.

          Cruise died in Pittsfield, Massachusetts on June 9, 2022, aged 65; her death was a suicide.[5] Grinnan said that she “left this realm on her own terms. No regrets. She is at peace”.[13]

          The mindset of the industrial automotive leadership if was a good to have increasing amounts of resources and talent devoted to it at a staggering rate…we can’t just have these laying around and going to waste…from a book I read long while ago.

          • my house, (as is everybody else’s) is worth maybe 100 times what i paid for it, years ago.

            its value is essentially derived from the energy input that is now locked within it.

            I cannot release that energy, other by setting fire to it—a very short term gain.

            I could sell it, but would have to buy an equivalent ‘block of house-energy’, or go live in a tent somewhere, Not feasible,

            Builders now are not prepared to work for the same wages that were extant when my house was built, neither are materials and land available at that price.

            our ‘commercial system’ is predicated on the infinite game of leapfrog between wage demands and ‘surplus’ energies.

            as long as available surplus energies exceeds wage demands, everything works fine.

            Collapse kicks in when that equation is inverted—ie overall surplus energies cannot cover wage demands.

            It doesn’t work if there’s merely ‘sufficient’ energy.
            There has to be ‘surplus.’

              Lumber prices are crashing and I could put together a crew, mostly Latin American, that could build your house for 10% of what “builders” would quote. By the way they could do it with hammers and nails.

              It is financial capitalism and private equity that is destroying the world. Yes we have absolute limits but “investor” ass wipes are the current cause of prices.

            • ok

              if 90% of the value of my house is ‘smoke and mirrors–then why cant I persuade tradesmen to come and work on my house for 10% of the going rate?

              I just had a fence rebuilt–admittedly a long fence, but the materials alone cost half the original price of my house. Mostly lumber—no sign of the price of it crashing much here btw.

              The value of anything is what someone else will pay for it.

              A house, a work of art, a classic car

              I think you are ‘wrong’ on what a ‘latin american crew’ would charge to build a average house.

              The simple reason being that they have to eat and survive in the same world in which the house itself is being built. Which makes your concept nonsense, unless they are not getting paid at all??

              Materials have to be bought in from somewhere, and all those materials are fossil fuel dependent. Exactly how would you remove 90% of the cost of fossil fuel input?
              Just curious.

              You may resent capitalism, i do too—but my house represents part of my capital, and unless you live in a teepee, yours too.

          My daily “commute” for the past thirty years has been about five meters. The office is literally next-door to the bedroom.

          Compared with somebody who commutes for an hour a day five days a week and uses four litres of gasoline in the process, I have saved myself 5 x 50 x 30 = 7,500 hours of commuting and lowered the old carbon footprint by 4 x 5 x 50 x 30 = 30,000 liters of gasoline. And at an average cost of 130 yen a gallon over the period, that’s a net gain for my piggy bank of 3.9 million yen just for gas not burned.

          My nearest neighbors are a family with five adults, four of whom do the above commute on a daily basis. The matriarch used to drive to work as well until a couple of years ago. So they will have spent 16 million yen or more just for gas for commuting, chalking up significant economic activity in the process.

      We (especially me) have a few comments on CJD. Misfolded proteins. Nothing unexpected

      • drb753 says:

        You can get misfolded proteins from a number of non protein aminoacids in regular foods. Beets and beans for example. And if you fast the body will aggressively recycle them. All this big pharma maneuvering can be easily outmaneuvered for the most part with a healthy diet. The permanent additions to the vaccine are another matter though.

              It’s nearly 1pm and all I have consumed to day is a cup of coffee — and maybe a couple of small lines of Bolivian to suppress my appetite. I will come off that shortly and hope my appetite recovers in time for lunch.

              23 hours a day! A mere amateur!

              There are people in Sri Lanka who have been fasting for weeks!

              Seriously, for the past six months I’ve been fasting for 12 hours a day, and I feel healthier for it. One of the people I work with put me on to it. She was an overweight and pre-diabetic fifty-year-old, until she started taking all her daily meals within a six hour window, and now she’s a healthy, slim, attractive and upwardly mobile fifty-two year old. But I thought 18 hours a day without food was a bit radical — being as every society is three meals away from chaos.

            • Good for your friend, Tim. Over the last few years, I have ended up limiting myself naturally to a four-hour window most days, with absolutely no ‘results’ of that kind.

              I just don’t feel hungry when I wake up, and I can’t be bothered to make lunch (also not hungry).

    • This is an issue. Perhaps we need to go back to religion. It at least is not focused on growth and a continued increase in complexity. Our current plan for the way ahead will simply not work.

      • Dennis L. says:

        From an amateur philosopher’s perspective, the death of religion gave birth to nihilism which leads to depression and many pills, drugs, booze, etc.

        Dennis L.

        • Good point!

        • Mirror on the wall says:

          I am fairly sure that booze, depression and other social ‘problems’ existed before atheism became popular.

          Besides, atheists do not become ‘nihilists’, they have already been socialised into the value system of their own society and they tend to retain that.

          Crime stats suggest that atheists have lower perp rates than Christians, but atheism tends to correlate with higher social class which itself correlates with lower crime rates.

          It is not clear that it really makes a quantifiable difference.

        • Student says:

          The terrible point has been that current western society has discredited both religion and philosophy.
          People have been tamed to be consumers and also that it is almost possible to live forever if one trusts Science.

          • Mirror on the wall says:

            If humans need some ‘purpose’ or ‘goal’ (which religion historically provided) then the simple fact is that bourgeois ‘liberalism’ emerged militarily triumphant from the 20 c. We live in the shadow of that history, and no other ‘political philosophy’ is really possible now. And it is probably too late now anyway. It is what it is.

            • Tim Groves says:

              Francis Fukuyama probably agrees with you. But I think you are both wrong there. The entire West is tapestry of lapsed Christian societies running on the “fumes” of Christianity. Likewise, Israel is running on the fumes of Judaism, and a lot of societies are running on the fumes of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Animism, etc. Islam has the strongest fumes, by the way.

              At the risk of mixing my metaphors, it’s these fumes that are holding our post-religious societies together, and the journey into atheism is a journey into the dismal swamp of dystopia, degeneracy and degradation.

              I don’t like to give sermons—although this day is Sunday—but for I’m pretty sure than once that last king has been strangled with the entrails of the last priest, human beings on the whole are going to be far worse off than they would have been if they’d continued to believe religious fairy tails.

              Men are weak, and “the journey from vice to evil is but a step.” I think Dick Cheney’s career exemplifies that.

              All human beings are connected to “the Source”, however we may chose to conceptualize it. Denying that connection, as atheism does, robs its adherents of meaning, companionship, comfort and all the added bells, whistles and special features that having a a deity to watch over you brings.

            • Fast Eddy says:

              I am currently listening to The Source… throwing first born babies into the fire… WTF kinda religion is that!

              Mass atheism would lead to a VIP lounge on every corner and a run on Bolivian … destroying the fabric of society … kinda like how this trips to the tranny strip bars for 6 yr olds is doing …

              BTW – I bet a lot of people are unaware (and may not care) but in most cities in Asia – including Hong Kong — if there are massage joints pretty much everywhere…. I know of a few married dudes who would use their lunch breaks to head to these places to ‘get the edge off’… not sure what sort of edge they are referring to ….

              One guy who partook (he had a thing with one of the massagies) left HK to return to The Real World… and the one thing he says he misses the most is those once or twice a week forays into the Deviancy Zone… he’s an atheist for what that’s worth

              We have already seen that the data shows that secularism correlates with better crime rates and social functionality. That your dogma says otherwise does not really matter.

              You probably know next to nothing about what Medieval societies were really like, if you imagine that they were ‘virtuous’ places. Maybe get some books, or just get on YouTube and learn something.

            • Tim Groves says:

              Medieval societies covers a lot of ground. The period is usually considered to extend from the fifth to the fifteenth centuries. Very few people know “a lot” about that immense slice of human history.

              I tend to read “big” books and subcontract out the expertise to the writers of those books—but I never imagine that I “know” something about history outside of my own experience just because I happen to have read it in a book, because pretending to have the expertise or the knowledge myself would be so pretentious that I would explode like a frog that swallowed a hand grenade.

              I’ve also seen Robin Hood, and Cadfael, and The Name of the Rose. Does that give me “knowledge” of medieval societies?

              Do I really need to remind you that correlation does not necessary imply causation? That you would stoop employ such a dodgy logical fallacy in an attempt to score points tells the cognoscenti that you are grasping at straws there. Norman has tried to teach us that that lesson, gently, with his flat tyre analogy.

              You’ve also attempted to take this thousand-year-long historic period stretching across numerous cultures, countries, regions, political and economic conditions and eras, and treat it a single thing for purposes of comparison with the present era so you can say something definitive about them. Do I really need to spell out to you why this approach is nonsense?

              Please tell me you do understand so I don’t need to do that? I’m not Noam Chomsky. I am not Jordan Peterson. I do not relish trying to explain to other “intellectuals” what is wrong with their thinking.

          • Today’s philosophy seems to be “more, more, more” based on more complexity, rather than more energy. Of course, this can’t work. There are diminishing returns to complexity.

      • Mirror on the wall says:

        Interesting stuff.

        The thing is that life without growth is a contradiction, because life grows. And dissipative structures tend toward complexity. It is what it is. Take away those tendencies and nothing energetic or living comes to be, and there is nothing such.

        Now, an ‘other world’ without those tendencies is simply radically unknowable, and there is no reason to think that it exists, or, if it does, that it supports radically earthly beings like ourselves, who are grown, complex, dissipative structures.

        It raises the problem of how beings, like us, whose being depends on the structures of being in this ‘world’, like growth and complexity, could have being in an ‘other world’ in which those structures are absent.

        It may be that religion is a placeholder for non-being, or simply death, the personal cessation of growth and dissipative complexity. It may be a wish to absent oneself from reality, from life itself.

        Perhaps humans have simply evolved psychological structures that leave some of them ‘ambivalent’ about existence with its pain, suffering and loss, and religion is symptomatic of that ambivalence.

        Perhaps it is a weariness, a decline of vitality, that religion has reinforced in the breed in that religion provides a Big Carrot of eventual ‘deliverance’ from this ‘world’ as a reward for continued perseverance in everyday life rather than suicide.

        If so then we might well be ‘ambivalent’ about religion itself, in so far as it helps to perpetuate life, for some, but it may also weaken vitality, adjustment to the ‘world’, and so worsen the problem.

        But again, things largely ‘are what they are’, and if religion does that, over many generations, that then is probably just how it is.

        Or maybe the propositions of religion, and the ‘other world’, even if radically ‘unintelligible’, are nevertheless ‘true’.

        Religion is itself one of life’s great ‘mysteries’, and its existence is itself a ‘question’ that invites consideration in terms of its own ’causes and effects’.

        • Tim Groves says:

          “The thing is that life without growth is a contradiction…”

          Right, stop right there. Life is defined by homeostasis, not by growth. It isn’t necessary for an organism to keep getting bigger. One can diet, exercise, keep fit, eat more roughage, that sort of thing.

          People who think that life without growth is a contradiction shop too much at Walmart for Oreos and Ice Cream, in my opinion. It gives them a jaundiced view of life.

          • Kowalainen says:

            An increase in complexity burns calories, there’s no getting around that fact.

            Getting lean and mean is a proverbial exercise in optimization of your organism, and you’ve gotta chuck in more calories to endure the vigor.

            Humans are living organisms, and life is a property of organisms. Organism are either unicellular or else they are multicellular, in which case “individual cells grow and then divide via a process called mitosis, thereby allowing the organism to grow.”

            Humans are multicellular, and thus human existence is impossible without growth (no, I am not saying that become big like mountains lol), and indeed they constantly produce new cells to replace dying cells. Organisms live by consuming other organisms, except for some unicellulars that live on sunlight – not humans.

            In any case, all organisms live through organic processes, so perhaps you would like to explain how life, ‘eternal’ or otherwise, is possible without organic processes. How can humans ‘live’, which is a property of organisms that undergo organic processes, without those organic processes? Let us start right there.

            • Kowalainen says:

              What if these so called “organic” processes is in fact synthetic? In simpler terms; nanotechnology.

              I would say that life is basically anything that ingests mineral (at some point) plus energy and spits out copies of itself with some minor alterations here and there because of random chance or by intent from sapient beings.

              Why make it complicated?

              Assuming that “life” emerging on earth as a completely natural random chance/event is a bold claim.

              I would think that terraforming/seeding a suitable planet is much more likely. Since there’s a lot of water on earth, why not make it water based, and oxygen plus hydrogen produces water and energy.

              And here we are, ingesting starches, sugars and turning them into excursions of WtP embodied as MOARons and Tryhards. 🤦‍♂️

              Oh well; it is indeed something artistic/mathematical about life in all its recurrent/recursive/self-referential structures.

              But, yeah, some meddling is to be expected by stirring in the can of YOLO crazy. But hey, I guess it takes a few iterations to stomp out the worst bugs from the primate lineages. That is if it is possible at all.

              Mirror, I’m starting to wonder whether you are a chatbot. I was talking to Elon the other day and he assured me that there are a lot of them about and that they are great conversationalists. 🙂

              I made a valid point about your use of “grow”. You know it’s a valid point, but to accept its validity would mean —heaven forfend—accepting that you had made a cognitive error, which would be anathema to you, wouldn’t it?

              So you can’t accept the validity of the point for a-priori reasons. Which means you need to change the point, deflect the argument, mess up the the blackboard, use classic squid inksquirt tactics.

              In this case, you attempt to redefine the meaning of the word “grow”—a simple everyday English word that even Baldric understands. You dress up your argument in sciency language, but you are essentially redefining “growth” to mean something akin to “homeostasis”.

              And if you controlled the kulture, the media, academia, and the dictionary publishing industry, you might get away with it. But until then:

            • Mirror on the wall says:

              Of course all life grows, even unicellular.

              > Unicellular organisms (like bacteria, yeast and archaea) typically grow using a method called binary fission. Here each single cell (mother cell) expands, replicates its genetic material, and divides into two cells (daughter cells). In this way, each time a new generation is produced the population doubles (Fig. 1A).

              My original statement that ‘life grows’ is entirely correct, and without growth there is no life.

              Try as you may to find fault with that statement, it remains true.

              Perhaps you would like to explain how there can be life without growth, and without organic processes….

              It is an obvious nonsense because life is a property of organisms undergoing organic processes.

              You may want to have ‘life’, ‘eternal’ or otherwise, without organic processes but it sounds very much like an obvious nonsense.

            • Kowalainen says:

              I think what we mean with “life” is too narrow as only pertaining organic processes on earth.

              I would perhaps consider all processes which are capable of reproduction, evolution and complexity (in expression) as life.

              Growth is just a side effect of the process that needs to be controlled for, negatively fed back as to stabilize the evolutionary system while maintaining diversity and expression.

              Of course the goal function is trivial (maximum complexity), however the error signal (metric) for determining convergence might not be trivially selectable as is obvious from the rapacious primate’s perpetual boom and bust cycles.

      I don’t know what illusion D. Dennet’s quote refers to, but I would say that illusions are almost inevitable in human beings, starting at such elementary levels as 1) illusion of the self, 2) illusion of consciousness 3) ilusion of being a free agent., 4) Big Etc.

      It seems obvious that without some kind of illusion it’s impossible to get out of bed every morning, since without illusion life depressively seen as “not making sense.”
      Didn’t Denett have any illusions? I’m sure he had a lot: the illusion of being a credible philosopher, a respected author, an esteemed teacher, one of the 100 most influential thinkers according to Life magazine…etc..

      So maybe what distinguishes human beings is not whether they have illusions, but whether they are aware of them. In addition, there are people who “choose” to create their own illusions, something which is usually achieved by an expansion of the fictional bubble called the self. Philosophers, writers and artists in general are known to favor this approach. in their case the iIllusion of course is la gloire, ie “immortality”,

        I think people confuse illusions with hallucinations and fantasy. There is nothing illusory with processes that give rise to awareness. It is as real as mathematics and Yoda is real.

        Our minds craft hallucinated experience (processes associated with qualia/suchness) of unfathomable Ultimate Reality.

        • Best canned tuna recipe I know:

          Put water on to boil for pasta, and in the meantime saute’ one or two cloves of garlic in abundant olive oil. When the garlic just starts to be cooked rather than raw, add drained tuna (packed in oil tastes better) and mash it around for a minute or two. Add a cup or two of canned crushed tomatoes, could be a small can or whatever amount to taste of whatever tomato product you have on hand. Throw in a handful of chopped oil-cured black olives (or other olives) and a tablespoon or so of capers. Mix with cooked pasta (I like spaghetti, but it’s also good with farfalle).

          This can be made entirely from the pantry, if you count garlic amongst your pantry items.

          You can hang yourself afterwards.. at least you’ll have had a nice meal.

    Gone! Outcome Unknown: What Happened to Pfizer’s Records on Pregnant Women?

    The Pfizer documents show that pregnant women were excluded from the trials, but 270 women in the vaccinated group did get pregnant.

    Of the 270 women, the records of 234 went missing.

    Dr. Naomi Wolf: “Pfizer’s supposed to follow those women, follow the birth, follow the babies and say what happened. Gone. Gone. Outcome unknown. Of the 36 women who brought their babies to term, 28 of the babies died.”

    • I cannot believe that the results on pregnant women are this bad. We would have seen much more adverse outcomes in the data I was looking at with respect to babies.

      • Fast Eddy says:

        I would sure like to see the results of the entire 270 women who became pregnant during the trial — wondering how they lost the results. Wondering why there are so many redacted sections in the court ordered release of the Pfizer docs.

        Wondering why they didn’t redact the fact that something like 28 of 30+ babies dies.

        Wondering why the courts — which have demonstrated total capture with respect to the CovCON… forced Pfizer to release these documents at all (and again – why are they allowed key sections to be redacted – and nobody questions that except me)…

        It’s all theatre. Titillating theatre

              This is also why it’s hard to raise the issue of vaxx damage with someone: however you dress it up, however polite and tactful, it can only reflect very badly on their good sense.

              The reaction is ‘So you are saying I am a MOREON. Is that what you are saying!!!’ (said in a pitch that would make a soprano proud)

    • I noticed this uptick in the percentage of people who are reporting disabilities as well. It could include people with “long COVID” as well. Of course, the long COVID could come from vaccinations.

      • Fast Eddy says:

        Just skimming through the glossary in the UEP (I have the full plan but am not releasing it because I’ve been threatened with assassination if I do that)…. and under the PR section I see:

        Long Covid – code word for Vaccine Injuries. As the injuries and deaths explode as we enter the booster phase of UEP, it is crucial that all media outlets be provided with articles that blame these injuries on Long Covid (see Long Covid for details)

        • Xabier says:

          The meme of ‘Long Covid’ was certainly inserted very early on in the ‘Pandemic’. Why?

          1/ To stoke fear – Terrible Terrible Covid is something you may never recover from.

          2/ As plausible cover for the anticipated high incidence of persistent vaxx injuries and disabilities.

          Every angle covered.

          • Fast Eddy says:

            Recall how covid ‘damages the organs’…. now we know that it’s RemDeathisNear that they give to covid patients that damages the organs… well we know — but the CovIDIOTS don’t …

            And if you were to tell them that they’d tell you to stop spreading conspiracy theories

            I am ok with that – if they want to take RemDeathisNear that is their choice…

    “National Institutes of Health Executives, Scientists, and Researchers Receive Millions in “Royalty Payments” from Big Pharma“

    https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/06/10/national-institutes-of-health-executives-scientists-and-researchers-receive-millions-in-royalty-payments-from-big-pharma/

    • This is an update to a story that came out in May. It notes that Fauci received 23 such payments, but doesn’t mention the total amount.

      One excerpt:

      A total of 34 NIH people received 100 or more royalty payments, according to data compiled by OTB and provided to The Epoch Times. Only nine of the 34—all between the ages of 68 and 91—are still on NIH’s payroll.

      Another:

      Andrzejewski also noted that “a government bureau engaged in cutting-edge scientific discovery must justify why they employ people in their 80s and 90s.

      “When those employees earn between $230,000 and $330,000 in taxpayer-paid salaries each year and are ranked in the top 20 of 1,800 scientists receiving hidden third-party paid royalties, there are naturally a lot of questions.

        And now they feed High Carb + Processed Food Diet to the CovIDIOTS! Load em up with Sugar Pops! Finish them off.

        BTW – can you believe that people actually eat garbage like Sugar Pops… Captain Crunch and the like – they feed that to their kids hahahaha…. here Johnny — have a bowl of processed carbs with a thick coating of sugar — and milk — and if it’s not sweet enough for you toss a couple of spoons of more sugar!

    • ivanislav says:

      They injected spike protein directly into the brain. Of course this is going to create inflammation and damage. It was a dumb study coming out of Brazil, designed to produce a result. It is worthless; injecting almost anything into the brain will cause damage.

      • Thanks for your thoughts on the paper. I didn’t try to read very much of it. Also, my level of understanding of the vocabulary is low.

      • Fast Eddy says:

        Truly fascinating … so they targeted the MOREONS who already struggle with cognitive deficiencies… and injected some shit that has crossed into their brains.

        BTW the tech used in these injections was originally under development for the purpose of delivering cancer treatments to the brain… it was experimental until they deployed it with these jabs. cuz?

        Poor MOREONS… no wonder they continue to boost… there is no way in hell they will ever connect the dots now that their IQs have dropped below 50… (20% decline per shot right?)

        Instead of scorn they deserve our pity — born a MOREON .. a trusting MOREON… and now they’ve been pumped full of Stooopid Juice… they can’t get a break these poor animals.

      If this is due to him taking the vaccines, well too bad, he deserves it.

      • Fast Eddy says:

        Of course it is.

        The VAERS data shows that Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (RHS) is 160 times more likely after a COVID vaccination than for all the other vaccines combined in any given year. And if you exclude the anthrax vaccine from that comparison, the likelihood is simply too high to calculate (0 cases in 32 years).

    The Weaponisation Of Coronavirus Was Complete in 2002:

    There is NO novel coronavirus, only a weaponised version meant to harm and destroy what we called humanity

    A Pathogen Weapons Programme is now over 2 decades in the making

    Pfizer’s first effort to create a spike protein based vaccine for coronavirus was in 1990 not 2020
    SARS did not exist as a human condition until they invented a weaponised version of coronavirus.
