Wow, the Kostoff paper pulls no punches, concedes no ground to the narrative (this quote is in the third paragraph of the introduction):

“In the remainder of this article, we use the term ‘inoculated’ rather than vaccinated, because the injected material in the present COVID-19 inoculations prevents neither viral infection nor transmission. Since its main function in practice appears to be symptom suppression, it is operationally a “treatment”.”

Language is important, words have power. So much for being labelled as “anti-vaxxers”. ”It’s just a vaccine, why are you hesitant?”.

Too bad that “they” got away with hijacking the word “vaccine” initially for these mRNA treatments.

We need to share this report.

This is very important because it’s published? Hope against hope this is the beginning of the end or something. Now we would need Kim Kardashian to endorse it. And I’m only half joking.

I can imagine the third covid shot campaign being quietly abandoned.

Fauci : I would like to thank America for its service. I would like to thanks each and everyone of you who got the vaccine. You have bought this great country the time to develop a drug that will once and for all put this pandemic behind us : Ivermectox.

The biggest reason the Kostoff paper is important, aside from being great and thorough work (this is what this kind of analysis should look like), is that a blasts a hole through the asses (see what I did there?) who begin and end their obtuse defense of the vaccination program with, "Show me a peer-reviewed paper?" As if we don't all know this is a tactic of asymmetric warfare.

But we heard this for months with Ivermectin. Now there are multiple peer reviewed RCTs for ivermectin and still it's ignored by the establishment. I hope this is different and I am busily sharing/pushing Dr. Kostoff's paper to everyone I know.

Yup! Gotta get these pop culture liberals to speak up, as insane as that it. I mean I’m a new fan of Madam Minaj because of her defiance to attacks over a common sense statement.

Thanks.

And I wonder what the "5 x" risk would become if that 65+ demographic (and others) had access to prophylactic and early treatments? (I've read they offer a significant reduction in hospitalisation and death.)

The correct answer is, "We should be comparing a treatment not against the status quo, but against the best available alternatives, which would be early treatment alternatives since waiting for people to get progressively sicker is both ineffective and truly psychopathic."

This is what I keep telling everyone. They keep doing the comparison between vax and totally untreated COVID. This is ridiculous. Various treatments have shown 60-85% reductions in hospitalization/death. Compare vax to 15% of COVID bad outcomes for a realistic risk-benefit measure.

Excellent. Enlightening. Withering. And highly entertaining. People like you help to keep my faith in humanity alive in the face of a world ruled by assholes. Thank you!

I don’t like where this is going. I’m part of the executive branch and I’m fighting the mandate at work, probably alongside thousands of others. In the event we lose and are coerced to vaccinate, and accept the coercion over termination from the job, what’s the research on micro-clot prevention?

I'm in the same boat in Canada with my employer. My union has sent out multitudes of notices regarding the most obscure things, that only impact a few, and been noticeably limp on the forced vax mandates to the point of absurdity. I can't see how the truth won't be out in the next short while? Every day I think, is this the day? Kostoff's published paper should go along way toward getting us to THE day the world wakes up.

I wonder about Lovenox (Enoxaparin ) I know the drug is being studied/used for Covid 19 cases. I have interest in prophylactic use because of my husbands extremely rare condition (permanently blocked superior vena cava). He was prescribed Lovenox to prevent clotting during his fight with cancer (the tumor was the cause of the blocked vena cava). Aspirin use might be the safest to take, but not sure what studies (if any) have been done with ASA.

I’ve begun taking baby aspirin to hopefully prime the system for on-boarding of substances contains the spike protein.

Lovenox is LMW heparin; I believe the advisory was not to give heparins because it can exacerbate VITT.

The truth in Australia of how we have such a high death rate amongst the unvaccinated is exactly this. The absolute numbers are incredibly low but shown as relative to the vaxxed.

The ruse is completed by pretending that they are vaccinating EVERYBODY in certain age groups regardless of if they think it is too risky. Hopefully they aren't vaccinating those who either Covid or a vaccine would be a death sentence.

Even if they are giving it to those people we still don't know if they are counting them as unvaccinated if they fall off the perch very soon after that first injection.

Sorry if I'm being stupid here. So Walensky is saying 1 million jabs save ONE death and cause only" 30-40 "mild" 🤦🏻‍♀️ cases of myocarditis?

Oh

Yeah, and the "one death" would be an 85 year old. Walensky is dangerous to our children.

Expand full comment

And she also assumes all of those 1 million kids don't already have natural immunity, which is entirely unlikely. Probably 75% of teens & 20s have had it at this point, so cut all her numbers down by three-fourths, and then by three-fourths again, unless they're kids with pre-existing cancer.

Why are children being vaccinated? I don't know. Perhaps you should ask Duke's Dr. Susanna Naggie, the HIV researcher who's sponsoring the ACTIVE-6 trial and who submitted her 9 year old twins for the experimental jab back in March (or at least she pretended to, for the ever present photographers). Search her name and the words, "shots in little arms." There's an accompanying story written by a journo who missed out on the Cold War and has since been covering health.

This is what we're up against.

"Inoculated". It's not a vaccine.

I just want to add that CDC Director Walesky myocarditis estimate from the summer is low, at least for teenagers. This study has it at 16 per 100,000 for a subset. I have seen other reaearch with similar values. Im other words, the value she cited was low by about an order of magnitude, at least for some groups.

This is great news - the restraint gets more difficult for many of us every day. The humour helps (the last meme was a beauty). One point - the figures that show the unvaccinated/vaccinated all cause mortality uses blue for unvaccinated. The figures below that show vaccinated deaths over time post shots uses blue. This momentarily confused me (albeit some days it doesn't take much).

From a 2015 write up: "The true incidence of myocarditis is difficult to determine, and most instances are believed to be subclinical. [...] Most cases of lymphocytic myocarditis are subclinical and never come to the attention of a physician. In the majority of patients, the condition resolves spontaneously with no known sequelae. In a small percentage, mostly children and young adults, the myocarditis presents as acute-onset fulminant disease and may progress rapidly to sudden death. In these patients, the infiltrates are usually diffuse."

I'm not a Doctor, but I think "In the majority of patients, the condition resolves spontaneously with no known sequelae." means mild.

In the paper linked, they found the cases of myocarditis were 27 per million people (10-50 95% CI). Those data were from one of Israel's health care provider; therefore, I assume the cases of myocarditis were clinical. The actual number of myocarditis, subclinical and clinical, would probably be higher than the numbers Dr. Walensky quotes.

Hi Matt, thank you for your work on lagging deaths in the first part of your series. I have done it to Malaysian Covid deaths myself - the government released dates for when each death tested positive, so I used that instead of lagging deaths back by 18 days. I'm finding peak deaths (for both vaccinated and unvaccinated) occur before peak infection rates. Not sure if I can find any co-occurence with peak vaccination doses given.

Wow, what a piece. Well done.
