Very interesting. I remember EVALI bursting onto the scene, but haven't heard anything about it in years now. If EVALI really is/was secondary to vaping I would expect incidence to increase over time in-line with the adoption curve of vaping. Looking forward to that DMED analysis!
No, that is the claim . That some producers were adding vitamin e to the vape cartridges for a reason and that it’s not meant for that snd was messing up peoples lungs. Pretty sure there are a few podcast episodes on Periodic Effects where these are explained by officials
Yes, I know that's the claim. I mentioned it in the article (above). I was referring to the claim as being a joke. There is zero evidence presented that the addition of vitamin e has any temporal association with these illnesses, whatsoever.
Here is the NIH's "study" on vitamin E as a culprit:
It cites presence of vitamin e acetate in the lungs of *some* who suffered illnesses, using the NYT as the source (they didn't even bother to figure out who the source of the pathology work?!). They toss around adverbs and adjectives in phrases like "very strong culprit" without doing anything like a Bradford Hill checklist to reach that opinion. There is no temporal analysis, nor discussion of whether illness disappeared somewhere that the products available did not include the vitamin e additive.
This reads like a whitewashing. It's a bad joke. It looks on face like the CDC setting the stage for the "novel coronavirus", a phrase that we no longer hear about, but in retrospect looks designed to create dissonance over the true nature of the illness and source of the contagion.
I'll give you another one Mathew... people keep tossing around the word "Vitamin E Oil" when in fact it's Vitamin E Acetate and as far as I remember thats an acid, however it is used as a carrier for THC oils, but biopsy samples of lung tissue show no, I repeat NO Exogenous Lipoid Pneumonia. What they show is lipid-laden macrophages which are present when you get a Covid-19 infection!
I came here to say exactly the same thing! I too remember it bursting into existence rather abruptly it seemed. And now, poof, no mention. Despite, as far as I know, no significant reduction in vaping. In fact, the vape stores seem to be proliferating like ants at a summer picnic.
My wife and I are one of these early cases. Of something. We were wickedly Ill for a month starting late Nov 2019. Sickest I’ve been in my life, with ever covid symptom but loss of taste and smell. I coughed and coughed and coughed and pulled a muscle from it.
I've heard numerous such stories. I had a business partner in Seattle go ill for a couple of weeks in late 2019. He refused to believe it could have been COVID-19, but he had the COVID symptom pattern, for sure.
I got sick with what was probably COVID in mid-December 2019, and the cough wouldn't go away so I went to my general care doctor and she said "oh, you have that virus thats going around that makes everyone sick for like 6-10 weeks". I was going to Disney for Christmas later that week, so she gave me a Z-pack. Never a fever, just a lingering cough. A month later the cough came back and was so persistent that my diaphragm hurt. Went back to the doc and she said, yes its definitely that virus and prescribed singulair (montelukast) to strengthen the lungs and told me to also take claratin to keep anything from settling. That same January of 2020, a co-worker went on a cruise and came back with pneumonia.
We had something identical, picked it up Las Vegas in April 2019. All four of my family had it and it was awful. My husband actually went to the ER because he was having breathing issues. The doctor said at the time he was seeing a ton of whatever he viral infection he thought my husband was suffering from but when it didn't really clear up fully after a few weeks he was then diagnosed with valley fever (went to a specialist and found they didn't run the labs correctly and that was never what he had.) the pulmonologist thought he probably just had a chronic sinus infection that was lingering from whatever viral infection we had had. in January of 2021 we all had what seemed to be covid (loss of smell) but it was super mild and only lasted a couple days for all of us.
Exactly the same for me, coughing-headache-fatigue, early-mid December 2019 in Vancouver, Canada. The worst flu/cold I’d ever had, and it went through the workforce around me. A few weeks later we started hearing about Covid.
My dad was hospitalized for a week in January 2020 with C19 symptoms, lungs were even showing ground glass opacity, but he refuses to make the connection.
My partner came down w something unusual 12/3019 and I experienced what you describe w that damn cough in Jan/Feb 2020 that took forever to shake. That turned into a hard to beat back before it took too strong a hole upper respiratory infection and after all that was over, a few months later, I started experiencing multiple of what’s now part of the long haul symptoms. Had those for over a year. Got Delta symptoms in July 2021 at which point I got scripts for budesonide, fluvoxamine and ivermectin and rapidly recovered from ALL symptoms and have been great since, finally being able to recover and return to normal, though I did lose all my strength and stamina during the long haul yuck and that’s taken some time to regain. Sure as heck wasn’t easy.
Same story for me, survived on lots of Burdock tea alone, Nov-Dec 2019....found out later it has inulin and quercitin, so it kept my blood sugar up...lost 10% bodywt gained it back in some months...what a debilitating weird 'whooping cough like' thing this is..i remember pulling a muscle too in my chest.....after my housemates got jabbed, (i never did, luck)...i got some bad heart palps...been addressing with fresh walnuts and hawthorne tincture...I am glad you too got thru it and its tempting to forget how bad it was really....thanks and best from Oregon
How does water going up your nose wash the brain stem?
How harmful is saltwater burning in one's lungs?
What makes your copypasta comments different from the housewife ladybots who spam all these Substacks to let us know about how they work from home and make tens of thousands of dollars each month?
He’s actually correct that this does work. It’s known as a saline flush or nasal lovage. It’s sterilizes the entire ENT area when done as directed. Can’t speak about burning in the lungs bcz I don’t recall it myself, but I’ve been doing this for many years and when I maintain the practice, I don’t get ill, especially when traveling on planes where it can be like sitting in a Petri dish.
My son’s integrative Neurologist recommended he use the Navage system to clean his nasal passages every day after school or after being in crowds. We use Navage, XClear nasal spray, and a throat gargle to try and keep ourselves from getting sick. Navage seems like a high tech version of what you recommend here.
Salt is everywhere, all packaged products create dependance. It's great that it works, but the underlying cure is the same for a fraction of the cost. I cannot afford Navage.
I've used salt water snorting, and I think it's a great idea, but there are two things I wonder about: Firstly, I don't understand how the salt water would get into the lungs if you swallow it .... unless you choked on it of course. Secondly, I've heard it said that the iodine tends to get lost (presumably offgassing) fairly quickly once the iodized salt is opened. Would really like to know your thoughts on both of these.
You might not need money, but some folks need validation. But you miss the point, since I wasn't so much talking about money anyway. What's the point? Simple. You spam. Often.
Does chlorine in tap water burn lungs? You are recommending people use tap water: "...then it costs nothing with free clean tap water." Is that really wise? Do you do anything to the tap water before you stir salt into it? Your spam didn't actually say. Why is that? Do lungs only burn when there is "a Covid infection" in one's head that's trickled down in one's lungs? Interesting. Are you sure? Perhaps you can add some caveats to your spam that explain how and why it's only a Covid-in-the-head infection that causes lungs burning when salt water gets into them, as further proof and verisimilitude in your helpful, free advice.
Don't older folks have a saying about the cost of taking free advice? Anyone can pretend to be an old, wise man, even old men.
There are devices to do this. A Navage. Look it up. And to his point I know a gal who used this everyday while her partner had COVID and she never got it. It's not the first time I've heard it working
I distinctly remember when I was about 8 and had some virus and my pediatrician instructed my dad to have me do this and gargle warm saltwater. It’s not a pleasant sensation, especially at that age, but damn it worked. Should probably get back to that.
When Ethical Skeptic proposed Omicron pre-dated the Wuhan strain, some wondered if the real leak was from UNC where GoF research was also taking place. Interestingly, UNC's Ralph Baric was one of the signatories to last summer's letter calling for an investigation into Wuhan. Did they set the Chinese up to take the blame, I wonder?
Yes they did. I processed this same hypothesis to my partner very early on in Covidmania before it was the mania. The US govt is famous for testing on the populace.
I have been a proponent of this theory since the spring of 2020. The bell curve of the "vaping disease" suggests viral spread, and the incidences always occurred in clusters. Even at the time the reporting of the "disease" was suspicious to me and smacked of Reefer Madness propaganda. Keep up the good work. I think you are on to something.
Check the date of publication (2006). SARS-CoV2 existed by name as early as July 2006 according to the NIH.
Secondly, this is tin foil hat land, but here goes:
Reading your Omicron hypothesis while hearing Dr McCullough in the background during the Sen Johnson hearing give the reason all mandates should be lifted:
Omicron vs Delta per Dr McCullough
Outpaces delta 70:1
1/40th death rate
Makes you immune to previous strands
Everyone seems to get Omicron regardless of vaccine status, previous infection
Then came the crazy thought. Did we just witness the off switch? Was this a practice run to see if a virus could be outpaced and "turned off"?
It is important to match terminology to definitions. This is not a reference to the virus we now refer to as SARS-CoV-2. There have been multiple uses of the term, which is certainly poor form. But it's important to note that among pockets of scientists with all manner of positions, nobody is suggesting that SC2 existed in 2006, even if some of the research from that time led us to this point.
Really? And to what do you assert these papers are referring to when they plot flourescence of CoV2 relative to PCR CT all the way back in 2006? Or the in the 2008 paper?
Poor form indeed. So the difference between SARS-COV1,2,3 etc would be X number of mutations, run out of greek letters for strains, uniquely different virus?
The off switch is removing the EUA for the RT-PCR test. Or at least modifying the protocol to base the assays on an actual isolated virus (never gonna happen). Or lower CT to whatever level that ends the pandemic. CT25 will do even tho that will generate ~40% false positives. According to JAMA SGTF (S-gene not detected) surpassed SG+ in March of 2021. Suggesting CoV2 being endemic since then.
Agreed. It's difficult to determine what happened when testing is so poor. I work in a small medical office, patients would be symptomatic, test positive and then end up symptomatic months later after believing they should have at least some immunity to a future strain.

A great hypothesis! Why UK though? One would expect the US or China to be the pioneers? Else the Brit Daszak would be the culprit, traveling often to the US Moderna base and Wuhan as an intermediary for Ralph Baric...
I remember hearing about the minks a few weeks after it happened and being surprised at the suddenness of the way it took place. In retrospect, I now wonder if they're a key part of the story.
The reaction of Danish officials was staggering; I can only speculate on what happened:
1) They received intelligence that made them soil their pants.
2) They rushed into action, no holds barred, and destroyed the livelihood of a number of people because they expected horrible things to happen if they did not.
Questions: Was the intelligence genuine? Where did it come from? What was at its core?
The May, 2020 article I linked presents a cornucopia of information but it is long, so not that many will read the lot. I browsed through it when it was fresh, and mentally dismissed most of it. Having re-read it carefully, I believe more attention should be paid to the contents - it would make a good topic for a symposium. Perhaps you could raise it in one of your zoom meetings.
E.g., what happened with badgers at the University of Bristol (Dr. Tess Lawrie might know a thing or two?). Now, Bristol is only ca 50 miles from Salisbury, and Porton Down (Danger Area) is another 10 miles down the road. Whatever happened of the Skripals? Novichok, anyone? When they say Russia, I say Ukraine, and so does Shimatsu. Odessa, the literal Marseille of the East (French Connection level of crime); China, Belt-n-Road, Israeli GMO tilapia in Wuhan, a new light on BARDA´s Rick Bright? Mind boggles. Not to mention Eli Lilly, LSD, MK-Ultra, and Shimatsu´s professor of organic chemistry shooting death.
About DoD records: If the vaccine killed service people, we will see evidence in the number of DD 1300's issued and temporal association with vaccination. If you leave active duty alive, you get a DD 214. If you leave active duty dead, you get a DD 1300. There are no exceptions. Was there a post vaccination spike in DD1300's?
Can you explain this terminology? I am not familiar with it. Remember that I'm not an expert in all domains of records and codes. I am somebody lending a hand from outside the system, doing the best that I can to learn as I go.
If Lt. Crawford leaves active duty alive, Lt. Crawford will be issued a Form DD 214. It is a simple form. If Lt. Crawford leaves active duty dead, DoD will issue a Form DD 1300. It too is a simple form. You should Google both forms.
The important thing is this: These two forms are deeply ingrained in military culture. This is not a rule ignored by the military. Every live body leaving active duty gets a DD 214 and every dead body leaving active duty gets a DD 1300. No wiggle room. No exceptions.
In military culture, you're supposed to strictly account for your head count. Perfect precision on head count is a point of pride and one of the primary rules. As DoD runs a people business, you make think of these forms as receipts. These forms serve as proof of the exact dates, ranks, awards and specialties associated with Lt. Crawford's service. This form is proof that Lt. Crawford served "honorably" or "dishonorably." After ex Lt. Matthew Crawford interviews for twenty civilian teaching jobs, the U.S. Army does NOT want phone calls from all your prospective employers asking "Hey, did this Crawford guy really serve in the Army motor pool from June 3, 2001 to July 8, 2012?" The DD 214 constitutes unambiguous proof of Lt. Crawford's service. It is proof you are eligible for VA benefits (if you served "honorably").
The Form DD 1300 is also proof. It is proof your wife can keep in a file that you died while on active duty. It is proof that Crawford's family is due certain honors and benefits. This, again, is deeply ingrained in the military culture - - they don't want widows and orphans begging for food, and they don't want fake widows mooching veteran's benefits.
There are about 1.4 million active duty. They are 85% male (1,190,000) and young. They are 100% vaccinated. If the vaccine killed one in 5,000 young men, there should be 238 excess DD 1300's for calendar year 2021. In addition, after identifying DD1300's "of interest," you might be able to find temporal association between vaccination date and the date of death listed on the DD1300. Of course, you would have to get medical records in order to get the vaccination date.
I do not know if the DD1300's are public record. I do know that there is a casualty office in the Pentagon narrowly tasked with tracking dead active duty. This office is in the DD1300 business. It's all they do. This office should be able to produce 100% of the DD 1300's for the past five years with the push of a button. This office "closes" the books every quarter and every fiscal year. This office issues detailed reports. I have also read somewhere that DoD shares DD1300 information with, for example, the Social Security death index people.
This is a simple matter for Congress (if they are interested). Congress can order DoD to bring every DD 1300 for the past five years to Congress. There are not that many active duty deaths. If the Pentagon drags their feet on a Congressional request to provide the DD1300's, they are hiding something. How about this question: How many DD 1300's were issued for each of the following calendar years: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021? That might be FOIA-able.
A second "quick check" on active duty deaths would be to ask about "death gratuity" payments. When an active duty service member (of any rank) dies (for any reason), the DoD issues a $100,000 death gratuity. While living, ALL service members fill out a form that designates beneficiaries of the benefit in 10% portions: eg, give 60% to mom, 20% to girlfriend A, 10% to sister B, 10% to girlfriend C.
In the DoD accounting system, funds paid out of the "death gratuity" bucket will have a special account code and can be compared fiscal year to fiscal year.
Second reply: I link to what I think is the current DoD Instruction concerning how DoD handles death of a service member (soup to nuts). The link is NOT something Crawford should spend time reading. It is perfect reading for a summer associate at the law firm. The point of sending this link to you is to show that: i) there is nothing ad hoc about how DoD handles death, ii) there are DoD offices and databases established SOLEY for the purpose of handling "death accounting." The Pentagon should be able to hand Congress accurate death data with the push of a button.
Interesting . I recall with the vape pens there was the question as to some inconsistency.! It was odd because those vape formulations were in use sometime before any issue was declared . And often the people that used them the most were the people making them . I will send this link to Wayne that hosts podcast “ periodic effects”. He had quite few experts on at the time .
Here is some gossip .! A good friend of mine has a childhood friend that works in blood lab in Czech Republic. They told him they checked the blood in storage from sept 2019 and it was positive for sars2. The blood company is owned by US and they were strictly told to keep it confedential
I've been dancing with the Distraction Theory for almost a year now. Once I overcame the reaction that the gain of function labrats are ignorant and/or inept, the ease with which the origins game entered the orthodox narrative - didnt matter whether it was Wuhan Mkt or Wuhan Lab, so long as we were all talking about it...tactical mission accomplished -- struck me as especially convenient as a potential distraction. Next question: What dont "they" want us to see?
Reports of "strange" illness among athletes at the World Military Games in Wuhan Oct 2019 stood out but disappeared just quickly as it appeared.
The leading candidate for the secret hidden by the lab leak -- or Covid Source -- distraction "feels" like it has to do with the whole string of patented genetic this-and-thats that have been showing up thanks to the work of David Martin. The never-been-isolated SARS-CoV-2 "virus" is a biogenetics computer creation. Does not exist naturally. No supercomputer, no SARS-CoV-2. Otherwise no patents possible, as well.
This thread fits neatly at the information control level wherein ivermectin and hydroxy are hidden until the noise gets so loud that it has to be discredited with rapid junk science all to buy time for the vaxx attack to muster and launch.
But even this thread may be distraction from the real deal, which I am everyday sinking deeper into which s this (the possibility of this): the science of virology in total has been put on the line as either a fake pharma marketing opportunity (aka snake oil) in which new rules have to be invented to explain the absence of real, baseline data. The noseeum data. Primarily this has to do with the total absence of verifiable viral infection in proclaimed virus infectees. And this takes us back to the contention that usually is disputed with hyperbolic assassinations: no infectious virus has ever ;been isolated from other potential pathogens. EVER! All of which suggests, more broadly, that the germ theory iitself is experiencing an existential threat and needs "SARS-CoV-2" or that which it is leading up to...to save the day.
How convenient that virus has been spontaneously replace by Russia Yikes ~~> nuclear war yikes!
One more convenient distraction? Hmm. Interesting that the old Chinese idiom of chaos = danger and opportunity is being used pretty much everywhere it seems.
One last bit. The reported prevalence of behavioral scientists in tech and government might be all of some of what we are supposed to disregard aka "Dont look behind that curtain!"
I have a suspicion it was (also) in the 2019 Flu shots. First time I had a flu shot (November 2019) and got incredibly sick with Covid like or severe flu symptoms. Been sick off and on since then. It definitely messed with my immune system. What better way to hide its origins then in multiple carriers like vapes, and flu shots etc etc
Worth noting that a similar mechanism could be detected in Northern Italy where covid-1984 was preceded not only by the usual flu shots but at that particular time also a massive meningitis vax campaign.
Was wondering about the vaping connection — was definitely in the news then disappeared like so many things…
Interesting rabbit (deer?)hole following the references in that evali paper though, where it mentions “Anti–SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were found not only in humans but also in blood samples from white deer collected in the US in January 2020” Following references to: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2114828118 With data in excel file at end, Two deer samples, each from Jan 28 2020, and another one from Jan 5 2020 had sars-cov-2 antibodies — ALSO one from Feb 2019, though for that only one of the two tests passed(false positive? sample too old?). All from deer in NY. Good thing we then closed all the airports and locked everyone down later that March no? Don’t complain about flying until you’ve had to sit next to a white-tailed deer!
It had to have been here much earlier. You can’t make a model explode to thousands of cases from few individuals without many months to a year lead time
Antibody response is not necessarily a pass/fail or on/off binary. The early 2020 and 2019 antibody responses the authors in the paper suggest might "represent potential waxing/waning immunity, nonspecific antibody binding, or cross-reactivity." So, this is somewhat suggesting a possibility the antibody responses were forming (had formed) not in relation to SARS-CoV-2 in those early months but to something similar, like another coronavirus. But note that the larger majority of samples and intensity of seroprevalence is in Michigan, close to Canada.
Speaking of Canada, to further complicate matters, people (may) have forgotten that two Chinese scientists and other Chinese students were escorted from Canada's BSL4 lab, the National Microbiology Lab, in July 2019, after the RCMP determined they had sent several viruses and deadly pathogens from that lab to China in March 2019.
Read batmanghelidjs’ books on water, f. ex., “ you are not sick, you are thirsty” ....and Dr. Med .Barbara Hendel and Peter Ferreira: “Water & Salt, the Essence of Life”. They make what they Call “Sole”; Himalayan salt saturated water, takes about 24 hrs to make. According to them properties very close to spinal fluid. Take one teaspoon a day in a glass of water in the morning on empty stomach and you start cleansing, if too much reduce....these are great books....
Google “proPublica near misses at UNC”. Basically, the UNC lab, run by Baric, which has ties to Wuhan had several “near misses” between 2014-2016, where researchers were accidentally exposed or bitten, and the isolation measures were basically non-exsistent. Thing is the researchers were working with “Unidentified lab created SARS like coronavirus”. When the journalist pushed UNC/CDC/NIH on specifically what virus they were rebuffed. So, reports that normally have clear explanation have been redacted in these very specific incidents.
Very interesting. I remember EVALI bursting onto the scene, but haven't heard anything about it in years now. If EVALI really is/was secondary to vaping I would expect incidence to increase over time in-line with the adoption curve of vaping. Looking forward to that DMED analysis!

No way was it from vaping.

That's a knee-slapper, right?

Do lungs only burn when there is "a Covid infection" in one's head that's trickled down in one's lungs? Interesting. Are you sure? Perhaps you can add some caveats to your spam that explain how and why it's only a Covid-in-the-head infection that causes lungs burning when salt water gets into them, as further proof and verisimilitude in your helpful, free advice.
Don't older folks have a saying about the cost of taking free advice? Anyone can pretend to be an old, wise man, even old men.
There are devices to do this. A Navage. Look it up. And to his point I know a gal who used this everyday while her partner had COVID and she never got it. It's not the first time I've heard it working
Or just go surfing daily in salt water, this seems much safer though!
I distinctly remember when I was about 8 and had some virus and my pediatrician instructed my dad to have me do this and gargle warm saltwater. It’s not a pleasant sensation, especially at that age, but damn it worked. Should probably get back to that.
When Ethical Skeptic proposed Omicron pre-dated the Wuhan strain, some wondered if the real leak was from UNC where GoF research was also taking place. Interestingly, UNC's Ralph Baric was one of the signatories to last summer's letter calling for an investigation into Wuhan. Did they set the Chinese up to take the blame, I wonder?
I would encourage you to read my substack.
Didn't the EVALI cases start near to Fort Detrick or is that just a rumour I'm repeating?
I don't know, TBH. If you find such info, please share it here.
I have an article on my substack that discusses the strangeness surrounding EVALI and Fort Detrick.
Great work my couple links are blown away by your fab deep dive & references!

Yes they did. I processed this same hypothesis to my partner very early on in Covidmania before it was the mania. The US govt is famous for testing on the populace.
I have been a proponent of this theory since the spring of 2020. The bell curve of the "vaping disease" suggests viral spread, and the incidences always occurred in clusters. Even at the time the reporting of the "disease" was suspicious to me and smacked of Reefer Madness propaganda. Keep up the good work. I think you are on to something.
Couple of things:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7542541/#!po=75.0000
Check the date of publication (2006). SARS-CoV2 existed by name as early as July 2006 according to the NIH.
Secondly, this is tin foil hat land, but here goes:
Reading your Omicron hypothesis while hearing Dr McCullough in the background during the Sen Johnson hearing give the reason all mandates should be lifted:
Omicron vs Delta per Dr McCullough
Outpaces delta 70:1
1/40th death rate
Makes you immune to previous strands
Everyone seems to get Omicron regardless of vaccine status, previous infection
Then came the crazy thought. Did we just witness the off switch? Was this a practice run to see if a virus could be outpaced and "turned off"?
It is important to match terminology to definitions. This is not a reference to the virus we now refer to as SARS-CoV-2. There have been multiple uses of the term, which is certainly poor form. But it's important to note that among pockets of scientists with all manner of positions, nobody is suggesting that SC2 existed in 2006, even if some of the research from that time led us to this point.
Really? And to what do you assert these papers are referring to when they plot flourescence of CoV2 relative to PCR CT all the way back in 2006? Or the in the 2008 paper?
Poor form indeed. So the difference between SARS-COV1,2,3 etc would be X number of mutations, run out of greek letters for strains, uniquely different virus?
The off switch is removing the EUA for the RT-PCR test. Or at least modifying the protocol to base the assays on an actual isolated virus (never gonna happen). Or lower CT to whatever level that ends the pandemic. CT25 will do even tho that will generate ~40% false positives. According to JAMA SGTF (S-gene not detected) surpassed SG+ in March of 2021. Suggesting CoV2 being endemic since then.
Agreed. It's difficult to determine what happened when testing is so poor. I work in a small medical office, patients would be symptomatic, test positive and then end up symptomatic months later after believing they should have at least some immunity to a future strain.
Yes and CoV2 AND CoV3 are mentioned in another NIH document from 2008.
A great hypothesis! Why UK though? One would expect the US or China to be the pioneers? Else the Brit Daszak would be the culprit, traveling often to the US Moderna base and Wuhan as an intermediary for Ralph Baric...
Cue the British mink (and remember Denmark): https://rense.com/general96/china-envoys-death-in-israel-mink-cov-leeching-clots-part-24.php
At the time, it read like phantasy.
I remember hearing about the minks a few weeks after it happened and being surprised at the suddenness of the way it took place. In retrospect, I now wonder if they're a key part of the story.
The reaction of Danish officials was staggering; I can only speculate on what happened:
1) They received intelligence that made them soil their pants.
2) They rushed into action, no holds barred, and destroyed the livelihood of a number of people because they expected horrible things to happen if they did not.
Questions: Was the intelligence genuine? Where did it come from? What was at its core?
The May, 2020 article I linked presents a cornucopia of information but it is long, so not that many will read the lot. I browsed through it when it was fresh, and mentally dismissed most of it. Having re-read it carefully, I believe more attention should be paid to the contents - it would make a good topic for a symposium. Perhaps you could raise it in one of your zoom meetings.
E.g., what happened with badgers at the University of Bristol (Dr. Tess Lawrie might know a thing or two?). Now, Bristol is only ca 50 miles from Salisbury, and Porton Down (Danger Area) is another 10 miles down the road. Whatever happened of the Skripals? Novichok, anyone? When they say Russia, I say Ukraine, and so does Shimatsu. Odessa, the literal Marseille of the East (French Connection level of crime); China, Belt-n-Road, Israeli GMO tilapia in Wuhan, a new light on BARDA´s Rick Bright? Mind boggles. Not to mention Eli Lilly, LSD, MK-Ultra, and Shimatsu´s professor of organic chemistry shooting death.
"The DoD is not going to like my articles. Not one bit."
Truth hurts, lucky us! :~)
About DoD records: If the vaccine killed service people, we will see evidence in the number of DD 1300's issued and temporal association with vaccination. If you leave active duty alive, you get a DD 214. If you leave active duty dead, you get a DD 1300. There are no exceptions. Was there a post vaccination spike in DD1300's?
Can you explain this terminology? I am not familiar with it. Remember that I'm not an expert in all domains of records and codes. I am somebody lending a hand from outside the system, doing the best that I can to learn as I go.
If Lt. Crawford leaves active duty alive, Lt. Crawford will be issued a Form DD 214. It is a simple form. If Lt. Crawford leaves active duty dead, DoD will issue a Form DD 1300. It too is a simple form. You should Google both forms.
The important thing is this: These two forms are deeply ingrained in military culture. This is not a rule ignored by the military. Every live body leaving active duty gets a DD 214 and every dead body leaving active duty gets a DD 1300. No wiggle room. No exceptions.
In military culture, you're supposed to strictly account for your head count. Perfect precision on head count is a point of pride and one of the primary rules. As DoD runs a people business, you make think of these forms as receipts. These forms serve as proof of the exact dates, ranks, awards and specialties associated with Lt. Crawford's service. This form is proof that Lt. Crawford served "honorably" or "dishonorably." After ex Lt. Matthew Crawford interviews for twenty civilian teaching jobs, the U.S. Army does NOT want phone calls from all your prospective employers asking "Hey, did this Crawford guy really serve in the Army motor pool from June 3, 2001 to July 8, 2012?" The DD 214 constitutes unambiguous proof of Lt. Crawford's service. It is proof you are eligible for VA benefits (if you served "honorably").
The Form DD 1300 is also proof. It is proof your wife can keep in a file that you died while on active duty. It is proof that Crawford's family is due certain honors and benefits. This, again, is deeply ingrained in the military culture - - they don't want widows and orphans begging for food, and they don't want fake widows mooching veteran's benefits.
There are about 1.4 million active duty. They are 85% male (1,190,000) and young. They are 100% vaccinated. If the vaccine killed one in 5,000 young men, there should be 238 excess DD 1300's for calendar year 2021. In addition, after identifying DD1300's "of interest," you might be able to find temporal association between vaccination date and the date of death listed on the DD1300. Of course, you would have to get medical records in order to get the vaccination date.
I do not know if the DD1300's are public record. I do know that there is a casualty office in the Pentagon narrowly tasked with tracking dead active duty. This office is in the DD1300 business. It's all they do. This office should be able to produce 100% of the DD 1300's for the past five years with the push of a button. This office "closes" the books every quarter and every fiscal year. This office issues detailed reports. I have also read somewhere that DoD shares DD1300 information with, for example, the Social Security death index people.
This is a simple matter for Congress (if they are interested). Congress can order DoD to bring every DD 1300 for the past five years to Congress. There are not that many active duty deaths. If the Pentagon drags their feet on a Congressional request to provide the DD1300's, they are hiding something. How about this question: How many DD 1300's were issued for each of the following calendar years: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021? That might be FOIA-able.
Thank you for this education. I will mention this to the lawyers I am working with.
A second "quick check" on active duty deaths would be to ask about "death gratuity" payments. When an active duty service member (of any rank) dies (for any reason), the DoD issues a $100,000 death gratuity. While living, ALL service members fill out a form that designates beneficiaries of the benefit in 10% portions: eg, give 60% to mom, 20% to girlfriend A, 10% to sister B, 10% to girlfriend C.
In the DoD accounting system, funds paid out of the "death gratuity" bucket will have a special account code and can be compared fiscal year to fiscal year.
Second reply: I link to what I think is the current DoD Instruction concerning how DoD handles death of a service member (soup to nuts). The link is NOT something Crawford should spend time reading. It is perfect reading for a summer associate at the law firm. The point of sending this link to you is to show that: i) there is nothing ad hoc about how DoD handles death, ii) there are DoD offices and databases established SOLEY for the purpose of handling "death accounting." The Pentagon should be able to hand Congress accurate death data with the push of a button.

Interesting . I recall with the vape pens there was the question as to some inconsistency.! It was odd because those vape formulations were in use sometime before any issue was declared . And often the people that used them the most were the people making them . I will send this link to Wayne that hosts podcast “ periodic effects”. He had quite few experts on at the time .
Here is some gossip .! A good friend of mine has a childhood friend that works in blood lab in Czech Republic. They told him they checked the blood in storage from sept 2019 and it was positive for sars2. The blood company is owned by US and they were strictly told to keep it confedential
I've been dancing with the Distraction Theory for almost a year now. Once I overcame the reaction that the gain of function labrats are ignorant and/or inept, the ease with which the origins game entered the orthodox narrative - didnt matter whether it was Wuhan Mkt or Wuhan Lab, so long as we were all talking about it...tactical mission accomplished -- struck me as especially convenient as a potential distraction. Next question: What dont "they" want us to see?
Reports of "strange" illness among athletes at the World Military Games in Wuhan Oct 2019 stood out but disappeared just quickly as it appeared.
The leading candidate for the secret hidden by the lab leak -- or Covid Source -- distraction "feels" like it has to do with the whole string of patented genetic this-and-thats that have been showing up thanks to the work of David Martin. The never-been-isolated SARS-CoV-2 "virus" is a biogenetics computer creation. Does not exist naturally. No supercomputer, no SARS-CoV-2. Otherwise no patents possible, as well.
This thread fits neatly at the information control level wherein ivermectin and hydroxy are hidden until the noise gets so loud that it has to be discredited with rapid junk science all to buy time for the vaxx attack to muster and launch.
But even this thread may be distraction from the real deal, which I am everyday sinking deeper into which s this (the possibility of this): the science of virology in total has been put on the line as either a fake pharma marketing opportunity (aka snake oil) in which new rules have to be invented to explain the absence of real, baseline data. The noseeum data. Primarily this has to do with the total absence of verifiable viral infection in proclaimed virus infectees. And this takes us back to the contention that usually is disputed with hyperbolic assassinations: no infectious virus has ever ;been isolated from other potential pathogens. EVER! All of which suggests, more broadly, that the germ theory iitself is experiencing an existential threat and needs "SARS-CoV-2" or that which it is leading up to...to save the day.
How convenient that virus has been spontaneously replace by Russia Yikes ~~> nuclear war yikes!
One more convenient distraction? Hmm. Interesting that the old Chinese idiom of chaos = danger and opportunity is being used pretty much everywhere it seems.
One last bit. The reported prevalence of behavioral scientists in tech and government might be all of some of what we are supposed to disregard aka "Dont look behind that curtain!"
I have a suspicion it was (also) in the 2019 Flu shots. First time I had a flu shot (November 2019) and got incredibly sick with Covid like or severe flu symptoms. Been sick off and on since then. It definitely messed with my immune system. What better way to hide its origins then in multiple carriers like vapes, and flu shots etc etc
More likely the flu vaccination negatively impacted your immune system, making you more prone to other pathogens.
Worth noting that a similar mechanism could be detected in Northern Italy where covid-1984 was preceded not only by the usual flu shots but at that particular time also a massive meningitis vax campaign.
Was wondering about the vaping connection — was definitely in the news then disappeared like so many things…
Interesting rabbit (deer?)hole following the references in that evali paper though, where it mentions “Anti–SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were found not only in humans but also in blood samples from white deer collected in the US in January 2020” Following references to: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2114828118 With data in excel file at end, Two deer samples, each from Jan 28 2020, and another one from Jan 5 2020 had sars-cov-2 antibodies — ALSO one from Feb 2019, though for that only one of the two tests passed(false positive? sample too old?). All from deer in NY. Good thing we then closed all the airports and locked everyone down later that March no? Don’t complain about flying until you’ve had to sit next to a white-tailed deer!
It had to have been here much earlier. You can’t make a model explode to thousands of cases from few individuals without many months to a year lead time
Antibody response is not necessarily a pass/fail or on/off binary. The early 2020 and 2019 antibody responses the authors in the paper suggest might "represent potential waxing/waning immunity, nonspecific antibody binding, or cross-reactivity." So, this is somewhat suggesting a possibility the antibody responses were forming (had formed) not in relation to SARS-CoV-2 in those early months but to something similar, like another coronavirus. But note that the larger majority of samples and intensity of seroprevalence is in Michigan, close to Canada.
Speaking of Canada, to further complicate matters, people (may) have forgotten that two Chinese scientists and other Chinese students were escorted from Canada's BSL4 lab, the National Microbiology Lab, in July 2019, after the RCMP determined they had sent several viruses and deadly pathogens from that lab to China in March 2019.

Fantastic info. Absolutely corroborates what I have heard from nurses about skyrocketing non-flu respiratory issues in 2019.
Read batmanghelidjs’ books on water, f. ex., “ you are not sick, you are thirsty” ....and Dr. Med .Barbara Hendel and Peter Ferreira: “Water & Salt, the Essence of Life”. They make what they Call “Sole”; Himalayan salt saturated water, takes about 24 hrs to make. According to them properties very close to spinal fluid. Take one teaspoon a day in a glass of water in the morning on empty stomach and you start cleansing, if too much reduce....these are great books....
Google “proPublica near misses at UNC”. Basically, the UNC lab, run by Baric, which has ties to Wuhan had several “near misses” between 2014-2016, where researchers were accidentally exposed or bitten, and the isolation measures were basically non-exsistent. Thing is the researchers were working with “Unidentified lab created SARS like coronavirus”. When the journalist pushed UNC/CDC/NIH on specifically what virus they were rebuffed. So, reports that normally have clear explanation have been redacted in these very specific incidents.
