Which military database?

What is BC or DEMA?

"Finally, the Pfizer documents show absolute fraud on the “study” of effects on pregnancy."

I disagree with that assessment unless there is something new I haven't seen. If this is the Naomi Wolf claim, she's making incorrect extrapolations to conclusion.

There may very well be very serious fertility issues, but we need to be careful so that we remain credible at each step. Right now there is a low of fast slinging of information, and I don't have time to look over all of it. People need to be rigorous.

BC is British Columbia, and the claim by Nagase and Bruchet that there was an unusual spike in stillborn children in 2021. The Canadian government denies the claim, which is not dispositive.

Brock, Thornley: Spontaneous Abortions and Policies on COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Use During Pregnancy; IPAK PHPI, Nov. 2021.

"In this article, we draw attention to these errors and recalculate the risk of this outcome based on the cohort that was exposed to the vaccine before 20 weeks’ gestation. Our re-analysis indicates a cumulative incidence of spontaneous abortion 7 to 8 times higher than the original authors’ results (p < 0.001) and the typical average for pregnancy loss during this time period."

Pfizer again: Pfizer and BioNTech said the 80 percent efficacy finding was preliminary and based on 10 cases of Covid-19 in the study population as of the end of April. Once 21 cases have occurred, the companies will conduct a more formal analysis of efficacy... Pfizer and BioNTech said they plan to finish filing data with the FDA this week — and warned that the efficacy number was fluid because results are still arriving.

Total 40 rats and 58% died, study stopped! (per my memory of the article) Pfizer then okayed jabs for pregnant or breast feeding mothers.

Those that survive the Pfizer coathanger are probably tougher, healthier, more resistant to COVID to begin with.

Traditional Vaccines During Pregnancy

Traditional “vaccines” seem to have been doing a lot of harm to children, especially since there have been 72 of them in the US. Here are a couple of details about them that you can rarely hear of; the ones that hurt the unborn child through the pregnant mother.

Did you know that if a pregnant woman takes antibiotics, the child is ten times more likely to develop "asthma"? Of course, asthma, as such, is, again, an invented illness for a condition that comes from poisoning to cover up the poisoners, this time, the "doctors" who are dutiful servants of the pharmaceuticals and direct products of their brainwashing received through their astronomically-expensive “education,” that is, conditioning (right down the lane of the widespread myth stating that “if it’s so expensive, it must be valuable”). The same “doctors” have a frenzy to check the women for "urinary infections" to "treat" it with antibiotics, often without requesting a culture (certain pathogens can be indeed dangerous, but much of that can often be remedied with a change of diet or at least addressed directly based on the results from the culture) or giving it time to go away on its own, and inject them with the "vaccine" (another poison) against pertussis or a combination of the same and some other illness that cannot be prevented with a “vaccine” (because literally nothing can).

Those, who receive the pertussis injection, are, again, ten times more likely to have children with "asthma."

If you do the math, those children, whose mom received both the pertussis “vaccine” and an antibiotic "treatment" are a 100 times more likely to develop the condition...

Most importantly, asthma symptoms are usually treated with steroid inhalers that even the most brainwashed “doctors” know that steroids are BAAD for you in the long run…

To add insult to injury, those pregnant mothers, who accept one the latest, even more poisonous brew of a "vaccine," are likely to have a miscarriage, new “health conditions,” or death, because the latest ones seem to have been designed to cause such “side effects”...

And don’t forget that graphene oxide have been found already in the 2019 “flu vaccines” as well as in dental Lidocaine…

I have heard anecdotes about pregnant mothers going into premature labor soon after vaccination - don't know how prevalent that is. As to the claim that newborns are less likely to get Covid if their mothers are vaccinated, to me, that just sounds ridiculous. Babies are less likely to catch Covid period. My anecdote is my granddaughter, whose parents (both) were quite ill with Covid for about two weeks in August 2021. Panicked about what to do about their then 10-month-old, they reached out to her pediatrician, who assured that that a) she had not really seen much in the way of pediatric Covid cases in her practice and b) the child had already been exposed, so if she was going to catch it, there was not much to do about it at that point (yeah, I know, not very 'assuring'). She did not so much as get a sniffle, despite being confined to a home with 2 very sick parents doing their best to care for her. Additionally, her mother was sick with Covid again this past February, and again, she did not have any kind of symptoms at all.

How do you know that someone has "covid"?

They surely shed something.

About a year ago, on the first day, when the muzzle was not mandated around here anymore, my wife and I went to the store (we never wore a muzzle, but that's irrelevant here) and to our amazement, there were hardly any people wearing one. We don't even have TV, so I asked a woman what was going on. She told me that those who had received the injection were not mandated to wear a muzzle anymore.

We went to the car and I started it up. All of a sudden, I felt so sick that I had to close my eyes and lean back. Never felt so ill in my whole life.

The whole thing lasted for about five minutes and there was some slight dizziness for a few more days, and that was it.

So? 1) Politicians are exempt from zero laws in zero nations. 2) It IS illegal to a) mandate untested products, B) coerce or intimidate anyone OR their children to have them injected into them, C) as the articles of impeachment against Trump reminded us, take private $ while in public office (for OBVIOUS REASONS: like the ones you're all whining about right now) & D) give corporations "legal" (they aren't) protections from the harms done by their products.

So, we have no real legal protections for politicians, hundreds of blogs "speaking about" how the jabs are deadly, more than enough people on board with ending the mandates than even your governments could block or dismiss (especially as the public, once they see thousands of others on board with this would support it) & yet I can't PAY any of you hypocrites & cowards to even discuss joining in on taking those legal, non-violent measures.

But another post is going to "tip the scales" & cause WHAT? What is it you cowards fantasize about happening via the agency of whining for Daddy to Show He Cares? You're all going to wait for "someone" always meaning someone ELSE to act.

You're sitting here TALKING ABOUT child murder, refusing to DO ANYTHING to stop it. Proudly, I might add. Declaring yourselves Morally Superior & Woke, while refusing to act to halt child murder.

Congratulations.

“ I talked with a smart friend about whether or not Big Pharma might be crafty enough to have known about the income/health relationship that would result in the artificial appearance of efficacy, and whether or not they might have helped sculpt policy that would result in the illusion of efficacy. He doesn't think they're that smart.I think they’ve had years worth of data to detect various Simpson's paradoxes, and then put them to use. At the very least, it's worth thinking about.”

The data scraping is now on steroids as billions of pcr dna samples have been taken this past 2 years. Any lab tweaked pathogens can now be customised to unprecedented levels and the soon to be released ‘tests for’ said pathogens provide an almost instant feedback loop. It’s the perfect planet lab rat scenario.

Whether or not you are correct, it would at some point be fatal not to think along these lines. This is why high levels of secret and centralized government should never have been acceptible. But most everyone was asleep for that ride.

A former drug rep in the family said the companies track exactly who gets these meds, by doctor, by address, by level of public assistance, insurance, etc. That was decades ago, it's surely been fine tuned more than we'd like, and you can be certain this data is being exploited by Big pHarma, just like we are.

I have two wealthy clients, both in their 70's, both entrepreneurs, self-made and successful, living in wealthy communities. Both are healthier than the average, for sure. Both are vaccinated and boosted. Both recently got Covid, were laid low for a few days and got better.

Both expressed the exact same sentiment to me, how thankful they were that they were boosted, it would have otherwise been a lot worse. I did not push them about that, but I thought, you have zero evidence of that. None. That is only what the medical establishment is telling you. That is your only "evidence."

What a mess. It is as likely I suspect, that their symptoms may have been exactly the same or even less a problem, if they were not vaccinated. But like everything else in this disaster, Medicine knows what the answer is so they never have to ask a question.

Expand full comment

The "Grateful to have been" zombie-chant is especially pernicious as it's almost impossible to puncture. I hear the "grateful" mantra trotted out for hospitalizations, non-hospitalizations but moderately intense symptoms, and mild cases alike.

It's impossible to assail the individual chanteurs logically, but there IS a claim to an objective reality in there- one that I think has already been well-demonstrated: hospitalizations are overwhelmingly vaccinated.

Just curious, of all the worthless marionettes repeating whatever they are told is Truth by Fauci & Co, why did you choose Ryan Grim?

Because he specifically has already done a "debunking" of Dowd and McCullough on All Cause Mortality and basically called McCullough a liar.

So he is already in the game. This is 100% his special role in the Marionette Army, and he plays it across issue, always Trojan Horse stanning for power with plausible deniability rationales.

Interesting. I just watched the video. I will add Grim to the very long list of fake journalists who don't care about the health and welfare of their fellow Americans. What that CEO said about all those people who got Covid and then died from it well after they were out of the hospital was the "100% wrong lie." If Grim were not such a marionette and a real journalist that would have set off a red flag for him.

until the Blue hat flip on the position of bodily autonomy in favor of "mandated" (as close as you can get to forced without pinning someone down and injecting them) inoculation, I was far more likely to lean towards the democrat wing of the Uniparty than the republican wing. but I've never identified with either wing. most of my political views are generally considered libertarian, like personal freedoms, paper voting, 2nd amendment right to carry and bear arms (though I only own hand tools which could be misused as weapons and no guns, I absolutely support gun ownership rights,) "socialist" programs like libraries and fire departments, the right to grow and purchase plant based supplements and substances for personal use, ending the CIA income/power stream from drugs being delegalized, and heavy regulation of those entities with too great an amount of financial resources to be controlled by any other means short of dissolution. probably more of what used to be labeled far left positions too, but now "left" and "right," "liberal" and "conservative" are just doublespeak being tossed around to classify thine nemesis and they don't mean what they used to.

so rather than Party affiliation, left/right/liberal/conservative, I have to more carefully elucidate my specific position on each contentious issue which comes up.

for context, ever since Reagan/Fauci's 1986 vaccine law providing a liability shield for manufacturers and distributors made me do some research into adjutants and other issues with vaccines, which led down the rabbit hole of statistics about improved sanitation and nutrition vs drop in cases of vaccinatable diseases, I have been strongly against requiring /any/ vaccinations for anyone, and feel they should be both voluntary and should (but almost never are) be recommended only with full disclosure of known side effects and toxicity of ingredients.

this new garbage the CDC had to redefine vaccine to cover immediately raised the hairs on the back of my neck, and even just reading the initial EUA application documents before any of the FOIA data releases was enough to determine the various inoculations du jour were clearly not safe and that the books looked cooked in favor of claiming efficacy. cooked so badly that I'd like to see Gordon Ramsay's reaction to the cookers.

while people claiming/feeling affiliation to either the Red hat or Blue hat wing of the Uniparty may well correlate to likelihood of accepting inoculations, I suspect that those of us who don't fit into the Party system are the most likely to distrust and refuse pHarmaCo products.

Indeed. Though both are skeptical of the direction the Dems are taking, and tend to define themselves more in opposition to Repubs than partisan Dems.

Here is an excellent example of the bias in action. Not only are they not accounting for wealth disparities between vaccinated and unvaccinated, they are conflating potential vaccine damage with long covid among breakthrough cases.

What is astounding too, is following their brief biased discussion about Long Covid in breakthrough cases, they discuss adverse events related to medicare patients in hospital for all reasons. It is like they have to talk about adverse events, but NEVER in the context of Covid.

Anytime I see "adjustments to data" I cringe.

It reminds me of the "global warming" scam.

From "Watts Up With That"

“Why do temperature ADJUSTMENTS correlate with CO2? The probability that this happens by chance is shockingly close to ZERO.”

“It is PROOF of man-made climate change – created by ADJUSTING the temperature data to fit a PREMISE– that man-made CO2 released into the atmosphere is driving temperature.”

Expand full comment

I think it’s due to ozone depletion. CO2 is correlated with NO and NO2 emissions which destroy the ozone layer and let more UV radiation in which causes warming. This is also why the stratosphere cools at the same time that CO2 levels rise. But they think it’s caused by the CO2 itself. This monomaniacal obsession with the one molecule - probably the least chemically reactive constituent of the atmosphere apart from noble gases - is why nobody believes in climate change.

I wonder if another reason the Covid deaths track income is that obesity also tracks income and it’s one of the biggest risk factors for bad Covid outcomes.

In America, you are far more likely to be obese if you are poor than if you are rich.

On the Dr. John Campbell's YT channel I've seen a graph demonstrating a good correlation between vitamin D level and positive covid outcome. In other words, chances you dying after catching this pathogen increases with vit.D blood levels decreases. I guess this is also important to study, along with BMI plots and some other underlying conditions (like diabetes and asthma).

Your first post on this topic got me thinking that it might be cleaner to stick to the "same-region-pre-vs-post-rollout" type of analysis. Yes people move, and you have herd thinning from the earlier waves. But a county in 2022 is mostly the same demographically as in 2020. If VE is good, then high uptake counties should've improved upon their 2020 stats more than low uptake counties.

I need to think about it more but seems like this way has fewer confounders. I know many such analyses have been done already.

I would be curious to see demographics of blue state migrants and their age impact on their new red state home. North idaho used to be a place to retire (median age, about 45, in my 2018 queries) but I am hearing more that younger families are moving here to protect their young children from blue state injections. I don't think this is specific to our region.
