The sickest and the most spiritually miserable people I know are those with Very good insurance coverage and above average incomes. They run to their doctor for the slightest hint of Not feeling well and follow the Doctors advice as though it comes from God. Instead of making a lifestyle change that would most likely solve their wellness issues.
We seem have forgotten the lesson of Dr. Barbara Starfield, MD., of the Johns Hopkins School of Health, and her study published in JAMA, 2000, the well-known (at the time) US Healthcare Third Leading Cause of Death. See https://www.jhsph.edu/research/centers-and-institutes/johns-hopkins-primary-care-policy-center/Publications_PDFs/A154.pdf Basically, the US medical system is the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer, killing, at time of study in 2000, 225,000 people a year, including 12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgeries,7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals, 20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals, 80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals, 106,000 deaths from FDA-approved correctly prescribed medicines.
The leftist fake news fasco-Marxist (see my article at for a definition of fasco-Marxism https://blaisevanne.substack.com/p/introducing-fasco-marxism) CNBC even put out in 2018 this article: The third-leading cause of death in US most doctors don’t want you to know about, noting “A recent Johns Hopkins study claims more than 250,000 people in the U.S. die every year from medical errors. Other reports claim the numbers to be as high as 440,000. Medical errors are the third-leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. " https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/22/medical-errors-third-leading-cause-of-death-in-america.html. When the fake news gets it you KNOW there's a problem.
Then, of course, since we need to lock down the world for Covid, perhaps we should permanently lock down the world – and particularly one of the big drivers, illegal immigration – over tuberculosis. In 2019 there were an estimated 1,418,000 deaths from TB. There’s just gotta be some way for Fauci and the WHO to milk this one! Or as Dr Travis Harding MD says, 26 min mark here (oops! Just checked and vile Google has removed it, so I'll summarize here) pandemics are about control, so they can keep us busy and preoccupied while politicians do other things with the other hand (exactly what magicians do.) Masks have zero to do, per Dr. Travis Harding, MD, with getting or passing the virus and the countries with the highest vax rate also have the highest, “by far,” Covid spread.
In fact, you are hurting your immune system by not having continual, normal exposure as you lock yourself down from normal interactions. Basically, they are just using this all to make money off of you he summarizes.
Ellen, I’m not vaccinated and now not ever getting flu vaccine again. Stopped 2 years ago. Got covid, had sore throat, no cough, no fever, no aches. Went to local urgent care for sore throat thinking I had strep. Tested for covid, flu, strep. Positive for only covid. Took z-pack 5 days but recovered in 3. All that fear about covid is overblown. I’m 73 and did fine. With not taking covid jab, I don’t worry about sudd effects and vax injuries.
That's great that covid was easy on you .. Was worse for me, younger, despite early treatment, maybe because of high Epstein Barr load, and other insulin related things.
I didn't take the covid vax, nor the flu (nor any Vs ever again in this current system). Mom is 87, was odd that she had no symptoms at all, not even mild (and wasn't just PCR positive, was also rapids that I gave her). Well, perhaps it shall always remain a mystery. At least she's not getting the next "booster"!
I had COVID in February 2020 after being on a plane twice in 6 days. I could not get out of bed for 4 days, except to get something to drink and use the bathroom. I was sick for 2 weeks. I took off 6 days from work. However I call this a "moderate flu" which I've had before so I wasn't overly concerned about it, I knew what to expect.
That’s why I thought I had strep (really bad sore throat, hurt to swallow). I never agreed with the doctor’s diagnosis nor the prescriptions she gave me for ‘covid’ including 4 for a cough I did not have. I just wanted an antibiotic for my throat. But did get a 5 day z-pack and throat felt good in 3 days.
I worked with a large vaccine manufacturer. The comment that stuck with me was “They are never effective, almost all of our product gets thrown out, and we make a fortune as long as we can deliver on time. USG does not care, they just need to spend the money every year.” Indicating zero accountability. Probably 20 years ago. Obviously, this was good information to have, but since I had already been injured in the 60’s, I did not need it.
Here is one conscientious person who seeks less medical care. I wonder if conscientious people are easier to fool, or do educated people tend to be more trusting of other educated people? The last time I visited the doctor, about a year ago, I mentioned to the nurse that, while I trust doctors and nurses, medicine is broken. She nodded her head and agreed.
I want to go out of the country. Every group trip from a planned travel company requires vaccines. The world just got a whole lot smaller for me. And then I read one of the disclaimers: we can't guarantee all our crew will be fully vaccinated on XYZ trips!😆 I wanted to call and say perfect, book me on that trip because I can't guarantee I am fully vaccinated!
Come visit Australia, we don’t give a shit anymore. All welcome unless your from a “poor” country then it will take you at least 3 months to get a visa regardless of vaxx status and we’ll pretend we don’t discriminate.
It's not so much a country requirement...it's the actual tour operators. Not that I want to go on a group thing, but am thinking of traveling alone, in which case, I would go with a group. I just was surprised to see this is a requirement for most any tour group, even in the USA! And having been to Australia as a kid, I would go again. I am sure my adult self would enjoy it more than my kid self...or appreciate it more.
I was going to say we got rid of all that nonsense a year ago, but just checked my favorite incubator of disease (cruise ships) and they still have vaxx requirements even though they’re not required to by law. Maybe other tour operators have similar policies here as well.
"Just remember that I'm right here with you for the whole ride. I'm holding your hand."
Obviously the most valuable quality for computational-phobic to hang in there but this was especially nice balance of prose to problem solving like a Happy Valentine's Day math lesson thank you!
"This really doesn't look good for the vaccine pushers who are likely aware of every bit of data that I have showing HUB = VE, and plenty more."
Super happy to see what not looking good looks like & understanding what we're looking at! <3
Or when HUB is finally exposed in no small way as BUB (Brainwashed User Bias), we get to witness the deliberate discharge of liabilities and wealth by the healthiest and "smartest" via clever democide.
It was always harder to kill those with healthier natural immune systems as function of HUB with legacy vaccines, hence the mRNA poisons.
I received an update from the NYC apartment building that we escaped in late 2021 and there have been increases in "sudden" heart attacks and various other deaths; my ex-neighbor said, "there's death all around me." That building resides in one of the most affluent zip codes in the USSA. There's your WUB + EUB rolled up into a great big dying CogDis BUB.
Edit: my ex-neighbor sadly lost her husband to a "sudden" heart attack last week, and adopted her 3rd dog from a "suddenly" dying neighbor no longer able to take care of her beloved pet.
Thanks for a very clear exposition of this effect - it's a surprise to see how significant it is.
I'd be interested to hear your take on the nocebo effect during the covid hysteria. People were scared witless by the pervasive propaganda and many otherwise intelligent individuals seemed to think they would certainly die if they caught Covid. Do you think it's possible to tease out that confounder?
If the "vaccines" have zero efficacy, how to explain an elderly "vaccinated" person who tested positive on multiple rapid tests and had no symptoms? Trying to make sense of that (Mom), and don't see any other way to understand it besides that her "vaccines" gave her some protection. (Last dose was months before the positive test).
No doubt that these injections are a criminal disaster and not at all worth the risk, for anyone .. but if there's no efficacy at all .. what about when high risk "vaccinated" people end up doing fine with covid?
(Not defending the injections, jus tryin to make sense of things ... )
The human mind fills in a lot of details where information is missing. We often do so because somebody we trust provides us with information. Experts achieve a level of proxy trust. That needs to be questioned.
I note the following:
* An expert said the vaccines work, and she had no symptoms with a positive test.
* She draw a glass of water on August 3, 1988, and she had no symptoms with a positive test.
* She saw a beautiful dog in the park sometime in 1994, and she had no symptoms with a positive test.
There are a lot of things that she could attribute her positive test without symptoms to, whether or not they are inert, or even dangerous snake oil.
I suspect that this interest in establishing a strong relationship is part of the reason for creating a proxy test for a disease. A disease is...symptoms. No symptoms, no disease. The positive test is likely a false positive or else a manipulated test process, but it gets strangely accepted as the disease itself.
You might mention Ruth H (find her comment) whom I might say all the same things/events/dates about, except that she did not get vaccinated. This provides a very basic sort of control for the mental experiment.
I hope that's simple enough to have a conversation about.
(Although, I did give her three rapid tests .. She was in the hospital for something else, and when she said she tested positive, I assumed it was PCR doing what PCR does ... Thought rapid tests are more likely to be false negative than positive, and they were positive immediately ...)
And I had no trust in the "vaccines", I thought they'd be likely to make her more sick (as no one I trust thinks well of these injections, and if anyone did, I'd question their judgement).
Maybe the tests are such BS that rapids are full of false positives too? Or maybe antibiotics & pravastatin that she was already taking ... or perhaps it shall always be a mystery ...
Feels like would be cognitive dissonance to not at least consider the V helped her, because I don't believe in them so they couldn't possibly work .. like a similar blind spot to attributing a recently boosted 30 year old dying while jogging to it being too hot a day ...
At least I saved her from Remedesivir (the hospital ordered it for her the very next day, and I got an advocate from Graith Care to make sure Mom strongly declined and no remdesivir was in her chart).
I promise your gut is correct. You have tons of random antigens in your nose all the time. I would expect to find viral particles of all kinds in asymptomatic noses. The "antigen test" is much like a PCR. It's looking for an "antigen" which is just another word for a viral protein that may attach to an antibody or T cell. It's a viral product. the "PCR" looks for the viral mRNA (edit: more specifically, it looks for a segment of RNA, converts that to DNA, then amplifies the DNA. But if done properly this confirms yes or no, is this nucleic acid sequence present in the sample. RNA OR viral protein in your nose, is NOT a disease, but it does indicate that she was asymptomatically infected, or perhaps is around someone currently spewing the particles into the air). That RNA, is housed in a protein shell, with "antigens" all over or in it on a full viral particle (which are actually very rare and likely short lived. Fragments and subgenomic mRNAs make up the majority of viral material in an active infection, which is likely why it's very hard for nanopores to get full reads). It can also be naked (no protein) and degraded (many processes try to terminate viral RNA as fast as possible even inside a cell, like these proteins I believe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_finger )
They will be suspended in blood or mucus, usually just mucus, unless viremia is reached. When a cell is destroyed, either by the immune system or by the virus itself, it release tons of partial, incomplete particles and subgenomic RNAs. That stuff is supposed to be in your nose, and if it's there with no symptoms, that just means this system did it's job.
But quacks will say it's the IgG to an old, no longer circulating strain from the quasiswarm they primed her to ages ago that protected her. It's simply not true. Most of these lies are possible because the average person does not comprehend the microbial world well enough. And they shouldn't have to. Some people wanna know how the clock works, and some just want to know the time. Nothing wrong with that, but we have to ferret out all this bad science first. Trust no one but yourself. Trust no medication you don't know everything about. At least for now. I'm sorry that's how it is but that's the state of the world ATM
No symptoms, no disease. These tests are as fraudulent as the vaccine. Even tho I tested positive for covid, I still think it was strep. Mg symptoms dud not relate to the many symptoms described as covid. The doc gave me 4 prescriptions for a cough I didn’t have, which I never filled, only the z-pack.
It’s very simple. Covid tests are scientifically meaningless. The primers are fraudulent, created without a sample. Christine Massey’s FOIA requests (she’s reached 2000 now) indicate there are no samples of a SARS-cov2 virus. The tests are a magic trick. They were never fda approved. They are no proof of infection with anything. It’s really that simple
That's what is supposed to happen with or without the vax. That means at worst she had an asymptomatic infection, and the antigen test picked up viral debris or particles in her nose or throat. This indicates she won the infection fight at the membrane barrier. Covid still only kills less than 5% of extremely elderly people when infected (which is an old number, I'm sure it's actually much lower, haven't checked IFR of the elderly in a moment) vaccine or no. Those shots are intramuscular and produce IgG, which is a final stage antibody for tagging/ neutralizing viral particles that have generally bypassed many other innate barriers that exist to blockade viral reproduction before that stage (secretory IgA, inflammation, mucus, ect). Could go on for hours, but the big point is: You probably just saw her natural immune system work correctly, and the "vaccine" would likely ONLY MAYBE help if she was acutely infected, and reached viremia, as it only makes localized serum IgA (which is not secretory IgA) and IgG
The first paragraph, of the last article on my page, has a few resources that would explain these innate barriers better, if you are interested. If not, just remember, innate immunity comes first, innate immunity is what achieves "asymptomatic infections" and it does this daily, or you would be dead. They are priming the adaptive immune system, (which comes after you are sick and the innate system has failed) in ways that may have a LOT of generalized negative effects they do not measure (I'm talking mostly about covid mRNA vaxes but also dead subunit vaxes and LAVs, which I am also suspicious of, but each one again needs its own scrutiny. Also mostly about res disease. Please do not extrapolate these interpretations to other, childhood diseases, as I can not comment much on those yet. Those childhood disease may well be more dependent on the adaptive immune system). Long story short, an aerosolized respiratory infection will never be stopped with narrow target (spike only) adaptive immunity priming, and what you saw was exactly what her immune system does every day, ie, capture and eliminate viral particles
They could have efficacy. It's just completely unproven and definitely exaggerated. Or you mom would have been fine without vaccines anyway. Or she is taking other things that tamp it down without realizing it.
Agree that if there's any efficacy at all it's hugely exaggerated. And at an unacceptable ridiculous risk. Maybe antibiotics and pravastatin and X clear (and the (just a few, not enough) servings of enhanced applesauce I made her eat), tamped it down. But strange she didn't even have mild symptoms - none at all ...
Yes, although she wasn't very consistent with the xlear.
In backwards world, before I could get there, I had to talk to multiple people to get a Drs OK for someone to hand her her bag so she could have the xlear and zinc lozenges (she hated the zinc, hardly had that at all). Talked to a doctor who said she doesn't need anything because she has no symptoms. (Explained that those things are valuable before symptoms. Emphasized no Remdesivir. Assumed I was heard.)
Meanwhile, the next day, day after her first positive PCR, an infectious disease doc orders Remdesivir. If I hadn't gotten a pro advocate from Graith Care to convince Mom to say absolute No to remdesivir, I'm sure they would have convinced her to take it. . .
What is so sick about your mom's story...is they would give a medical intervention without a "reason"... let's give her a boatload of treatments even though she has no symptoms. Ugh...I would have been pushing my mom out of the hospital in her gurney bed. Can you imagine how many people were given treatments without need, just so make money?!
Does the vax cure diabetes? Or is it that the unvaxxed are on average predisposed to other health conditions? Something tells me that Pfizer isn't going to market their "safe + effective" treatment as a way to prevent diabetes, although if there was something that you took once or twice a year, with no side effects, that reduced diabetes rates by 10x, whoever invented such a thing would make a lot of money!
So... that Chinese study says education, healthy body weight, healthy diet, exercise, sleep, regular physical examination, hand washing, using sanitizers, wearing masks, social distancing, decreasing social gathering activities, and abstaining from smoking and drinking were all predictors of vaccination receipt. All of these are risk factors potentially. If you believe in face masks you got a problem. Hand washing definitely does have an effect so that's a big problem...
I've done a lot of research on "confounding by contraindication". It is a whole other beast where the people at highest risk of the adverse outcomes of interest are also the most likely to avoid vaccines. The math gets to be a bit mindboggling. I've modeled it in vaccines and autism. Been too sick to finish it though. Will publish some years from now...TLDR, I can conservatively prove that MMR-autism studies are off by at least a factor of 1.5.
"If you believe in face masks you got a problem. Hand washing definitely does have an effect so that's a big problem"
Remember: the items on the list correlate highly with one another. So, even if diet, exercise, and sleep constitute nearly all of the effect, the correlation will carry over to masking. I decided not to talk about that in the article in order to stay on topic.
Wasn't directing the comments at you, lol, sorry. Pointing out that if someone believes masks work, they can't believe vaccine studies. Can't have it both ways.
“I firmly believe that if the whole materia medica, as used now could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be all the better for mankind and all the worse for the fishes” Homes, Medical Essays, 1891.
Excellent explanation of the effect. I remember Norman Fenton pointing out an artifact in the UK data showing all cause mortality rising in the unvaxxed (way above actuarial life tables) as the rollout ramped up in each age group then converging overtime. If the healthiest were getting vaccinated first and the unhealthy were the stragglers you’d get the hump he pointed out and what looks like “waning” over time as the less healthy join the vaccinated group cancelling out the HUB. However, the official UK narrative is the vulnerable were the ones getting priority access to the vaccines.
The story of the "vulnerable" getting priority access just means the elderly. But you look for HUB *within* age bands, and the extreme elderly (90+) were less likely than the 70-89 y.o. to get vaccinated.
Totally agree, Norman’s video and paper were stratified into age bands. HUB within the age bands is a good explanation for the artifact in my opinion. You can see the effect as the rollout sweeps through the different age bands. The “hump” appear in each age band coinciding with the time they became eligible. He also points out some other anomalies but your explanation of HUB seems to fit the “shape” you’d expect to see if it was present.
The UK data artifact would suggest the vaccine is a magical elixir that protects against all diseases including gonergeaha 😀
I had a brief Twitter discussion with one of Fenton's coauthors and took a look at the UK data long enough to see that the HUB isn't nearly as strong there as it is in the U.S. I'm not sure why, except that the U.S. is spread out, so the only way to achieve the effect was massaging results through mandates.
Socialized medicine maybe? (brings the poor quality of care up, brings the high price quality of care down?)
Just a thought. Any economic policy that may prevent incredibly impoverished individuals may be an explanation. Something that equalizes the health of the low income with the middle to high income. No clue how they make them look effective in that case though, I don't look at their data very often. Could be any number of factors, that's just my first gut feeling. Maybe comparing to Canada would provide more insight?
Interesting you mentioned mandates. I was thinking through the effect it would have while reading your post. I can think of scenarios where it would increase the effect and others that would diminish the effect depending on the assumptions I make.
Is it something you’ve looked at or is there not enough data to make an educated guess?
Maybe, it’s just not significant either way and there are more important things to look into. I don’t know how you can cover as much as you do in such detail, but I’m grateful that you do. Awesome work as always.
The elderly, age 90+, often grew up with no medical care at all, so they are used to being independent. This is especially true if they grew up poor with no medical care, like my dad. IMO the independent streak might be a factory why people don't get vaccinated, or just do research to see if masks stop aerosolized virus particles (they don't).
Mathew, what does it look like if you plot total deaths per capita for each county in 2019 (or a pre-pandemic five year average) against vax rate in say April 2021? Would be interesting to see how the older user bias interacts with the HUB by looking at pre-pandemic death rate and later vaccine take up.
You hit the nail on the head, and something similar is coming in a future article. I got a little sidetracked setting up my education company, but I'll continue the HUB series this week.
OK, I tell the mass formationed non-Einsteins, follow along with me here:
a.) What does a vax do? Any vax? Heck, use Edward Jenner's cowpox vax 200 years ago. Just answer me what it does.
b.) Well, says our leftist somnolent wokester dolt (if they even know!), why they give you an attenuated version of the virus, gives you a light case, and it creates antibodies.
c..) Great! I say. Same with the Phfoozer shot, right? (At this point, they know they've been had). They have to agree, cuz that's what a vax does.
d.) So.... tell me, Einstein wokester, HOW LONG does this effect last? Answer: Pfizer is STILL in Phase IV trials, but we don't really know. Maybe 6 months, maybe foreover. Heck, we can't see Pfizer's data for 75 years, so who knows really. But at minimum it is MONTHS. (Oh, and by the way, we DO know, per the Lund University study, that it DOES go into the DNA, and it DOES go into the uterus, testes, crosses the blood brain barrier, etc. but that's all gravy)
e.) So, I say, we are agreed that it stimulates your immune system for a long, long time, right? That's what a vax usually does (just talking the typical vax).
f.) So, dear wokester, go out to your car now with a full tank of gas. Floor it/redline it AND LEAVE the pedal to the metal until the gas runs out, maybe 8 hours. Now, Einstein, what happens to your engine? Of course, it burns it out.
Exactly what the shot does to your immune system. It's called Antibody Dependent Enhancement or Paradoxical Immune Enhancement. They tried making a mRNA vax for the SARS pandemic ~ 15 years ago, gave it to test animals (today, WE and our freaking KIDS are Pfizer's "test animals"); upon re-exposure to another coronavirus a few months later, ALL THE TEST ANIMALS DIED.
> c..) Great! I say. Same with the Phfoozer shot, right? (At this point, they know they've been had). They have to agree, cuz that's what a vax does.
Not true. The COVID shots were re-classified as gene therapy, not vaccines, but the media just called them vaccines. No one has provided evidence that the mRNA shots create antibodies.
Yes, gene therapy is true. Antibodies? maybe, but doesn't matter, as you need to meet them where they are, and even assuming the antibody theory, it doesn't matter. You may go outside the Overton window otherwise.
I just ran into a guy the other day who told me a long story about how his digestive health changed for the worse after he started getting yearly colonoscopies at 50...and then how he was misdiagnosed with stage 4 cancer at 55, told he had less than 6 months to live, and put on extremely aggressive chemo treatment that almost killed him...before finding out that it was all a mistake and he only had a benign abdominal tumor that could be removed by surgery.
Talking specifically about the Flu vax, here in Ontario they push it hard for everyone. Anyone who sees a doctor will have it "strongly recommended" for them to the point where you have to be strong-willed to decline it. But perhaps they push it even harder for people over 50, or people over 60. So I'm curious what percentage of various age groups actually get the flu vax each year. Maybe those between 30 and 50 who see a doctor more often are more likely to get it, but then I'd call it the Paranoid User Bias.
The sickest and the most spiritually miserable people I know are those with Very good insurance coverage and above average incomes. They run to their doctor for the slightest hint of Not feeling well and follow the Doctors advice as though it comes from God. Instead of making a lifestyle change that would most likely solve their wellness issues.
"Sickest" and "spiritually miserable" are synonyms for "well trained consumers"
If I have to look at one more person wearing a mask - whose holes are around 100 microns perhaps, the virus a thousand times smaller, I will puke.
well trained lab rats that pay to be poked around.

The Alliance for Human Research Protection, which advances voluntary, informed consent to medical intervention has a summary of this here, https://ahrp.org/us-healthcare-third-leading-cause-of-death_barbara-starfield-md/ as does the Society for Iatrogenic Awareness in its article Medical Errors: Still the Third Leading Cause of Death https://iatrogenics.org/responsibility/72-societalimpact/280-medical-errors-still-the-third-leading-cause-of-death .

Then, of course, since we need to lock down the world for Covid, perhaps we should permanently lock down the world – and particularly one of the big drivers, illegal immigration – over tuberculosis.

Ruth, if I may, when did you have the covid?
Last summer early. Why?
Summer is no time for coronaviruses. That is why the circumstance is of interest. Moreover, there is no test for it.
That’s why I thought I had strep (really bad sore throat, hurt to swallow). I never agreed with the doctor’s diagnosis nor the prescriptions she gave me for ‘covid’ including 4 for a cough I did not have. I just wanted an antibiotic for my throat. But did get a 5 day z-pack and throat felt good in 3 days.

It's a combination of good brainwashing, and sociopaths who are streetwise and get their fake vaccine cards.

Come visit Australia, we don’t give a shit anymore. All welcome unless your from a “poor” country then it will take you at least 3 months to get a visa regardless of vaxx status and we’ll pretend we don’t discriminate.
It's not so much a country requirement...it's the actual tour operators. Not that I want to go on a group thing, but am thinking of traveling alone, in which case, I would go with a group. I just was surprised to see this is a requirement for most any tour group, even in the USA! And having been to Australia as a kid, I would go again. I am sure my adult self would enjoy it more than my kid self...or appreciate it more.
I was going to say we got rid of all that nonsense a year ago, but just checked my favorite incubator of disease (cruise ships) and they still have vaxx requirements even though they’re not required to by law. Maybe other tour operators have similar policies here as well.
"Just remember that I'm right here with you for the whole ride. I'm holding your hand."
Obviously the most valuable quality for computational-phobic to hang in there but this was especially nice balance of prose to problem solving like a Happy Valentine's Day math lesson thank you!
"This really doesn't look good for the vaccine pushers who are likely aware of every bit of data that I have showing HUB = VE, and plenty more."
Super happy to see what not looking good looks like & understanding what we're looking at! <3
Or when HUB is finally exposed in no small way as BUB (Brainwashed User Bias), we get to witness the deliberate discharge of liabilities and wealth by the healthiest and "smartest" via clever democide.
It was always harder to kill those with healthier natural immune systems as function of HUB with legacy vaccines, hence the mRNA poisons.
I received an update from the NYC apartment building that we escaped in late 2021 and there have been increases in "sudden" heart attacks and various other deaths; my ex-neighbor said, "there's death all around me." That building resides in one of the most affluent zip codes in the USSA. There's your WUB + EUB rolled up into a great big dying CogDis BUB.
Edit: my ex-neighbor sadly lost her husband to a "sudden" heart attack last week, and adopted her 3rd dog from a "suddenly" dying neighbor no longer able to take care of her beloved pet.
UWS?

Thanks for a very clear exposition of this effect - it's a surprise to see how significant it is.
I'd be interested to hear your take on the nocebo effect during the covid hysteria. People were scared witless by the pervasive propaganda and many otherwise intelligent individuals seemed to think they would certainly die if they caught Covid. Do you think it's possible to tease out that confounder?
If the "vaccines" have zero efficacy, how to explain an elderly "vaccinated" person who tested positive on multiple rapid tests and had no symptoms? Trying to make sense of that (Mom), and don't see any other way to understand it besides that her "vaccines" gave her some protection. (Last dose was months before the positive test).
No doubt that these injections are a criminal disaster and not at all worth the risk, for anyone .. but if there's no efficacy at all .. what about when high risk "vaccinated" people end up doing fine with covid?
(Not defending the injections, jus tryin to make sense of things ... )
The human mind fills in a lot of details where information is missing. We often do so because somebody we trust provides us with information. Experts achieve a level of proxy trust. That needs to be questioned.
I note the following:
* An expert said the vaccines work, and she had no symptoms with a positive test.
* She draw a glass of water on August 3, 1988, and she had no symptoms with a positive test.
* She saw a beautiful dog in the park sometime in 1994, and she had no symptoms with a positive test.
There are a lot of things that she could attribute her positive test without symptoms to, whether or not they are inert, or even dangerous snake oil.
I suspect that this interest in establishing a strong relationship is part of the reason for creating a proxy test for a disease. A disease is...symptoms. No symptoms, no disease. The positive test is likely a false positive or else a manipulated test process, but it gets strangely accepted as the disease itself.
You might mention Ruth H (find her comment) whom I might say all the same things/events/dates about, except that she did not get vaccinated. This provides a very basic sort of control for the mental experiment.
I hope that's simple enough to have a conversation about.
That is clear thinking.
(Although, I did give her three rapid tests .. She was in the hospital for something else, and when she said she tested positive, I assumed it was PCR doing what PCR does ... Thought rapid tests are more likely to be false negative than positive, and they were positive immediately ...)
And I had no trust in the "vaccines", I thought they'd be likely to make her more sick (as no one I trust thinks well of these injections, and if anyone did, I'd question their judgement).
Maybe the tests are such BS that rapids are full of false positives too? Or maybe antibiotics & pravastatin that she was already taking ... or perhaps it shall always be a mystery ...
Feels like would be cognitive dissonance to not at least consider the V helped her, because I don't believe in them so they couldn't possibly work .. like a similar blind spot to attributing a recently boosted 30 year old dying while jogging to it being too hot a day ...
At least I saved her from Remedesivir (the hospital ordered it for her the very next day, and I got an advocate from Graith Care to make sure Mom strongly declined and no remdesivir was in her chart).
I promise your gut is correct. You have tons of random antigens in your nose all the time. I would expect to find viral particles of all kinds in asymptomatic noses. The "antigen test" is much like a PCR. It's looking for an "antigen" which is just another word for a viral protein that may attach to an antibody or T cell. It's a viral product. the "PCR" looks for the viral mRNA (edit: more specifically, it looks for a segment of RNA, converts that to DNA, then amplifies the DNA. But if done properly this confirms yes or no, is this nucleic acid sequence present in the sample. RNA OR viral protein in your nose, is NOT a disease, but it does indicate that she was asymptomatically infected, or perhaps is around someone currently spewing the particles into the air). That RNA, is housed in a protein shell, with "antigens" all over or in it on a full viral particle (which are actually very rare and likely short lived. Fragments and subgenomic mRNAs make up the majority of viral material in an active infection, which is likely why it's very hard for nanopores to get full reads). It can also be naked (no protein) and degraded (many processes try to terminate viral RNA as fast as possible even inside a cell, like these proteins I believe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_finger )
They will be suspended in blood or mucus, usually just mucus, unless viremia is reached. When a cell is destroyed, either by the immune system or by the virus itself, it release tons of partial, incomplete particles and subgenomic RNAs. That stuff is supposed to be in your nose, and if it's there with no symptoms, that just means this system did it's job.

But quacks will say it's the IgG to an old, no longer circulating strain from the quasiswarm they primed her to ages ago that protected her. It's simply not true. Most of these lies are possible because the average person does not comprehend the microbial world well enough. And they shouldn't have to. Some people wanna know how the clock works, and some just want to know the time. Nothing wrong with that, but we have to ferret out all this bad science first. Trust no one but yourself. Trust no medication you don't know everything about. At least for now. I'm sorry that's how it is but that's the state of the world ATM
No symptoms, no disease. These tests are as fraudulent as the vaccine. Even tho I tested positive for covid, I still think it was strep. Mg symptoms dud not relate to the many symptoms described as covid. The doc gave me 4 prescriptions for a cough I didn’t have, which I never filled, only the z-pack.
It’s very simple. Covid tests are scientifically meaningless. The primers are fraudulent, created without a sample. Christine Massey’s FOIA requests (she’s reached 2000 now) indicate there are no samples of a SARS-cov2 virus. The tests are a magic trick. They were never fda approved. They are no proof of infection with anything. It’s really that simple
That's what is supposed to happen with or without the vax. That means at worst she had an asymptomatic infection, and the antigen test picked up viral debris or particles in her nose or throat. This indicates she won the infection fight at the membrane barrier. Covid still only kills less than 5% of extremely elderly people when infected (which is an old number, I'm sure it's actually much lower, haven't checked IFR of the elderly in a moment) vaccine or no. Those shots are intramuscular and produce IgG, which is a final stage antibody for tagging/ neutralizing viral particles that have generally bypassed many other innate barriers that exist to blockade viral reproduction before that stage (secretory IgA, inflammation, mucus, ect). Could go on for hours, but the big point is: You probably just saw her natural immune system work correctly, and the "vaccine" would likely ONLY MAYBE help if she was acutely infected, and reached viremia, as it only makes localized serum IgA (which is not secretory IgA) and IgG
The first paragraph, of the last article on my page, has a few resources that would explain these innate barriers better, if you are interested. If not, just remember, innate immunity comes first, innate immunity is what achieves "asymptomatic infections" and it does this daily, or you would be dead. They are priming the adaptive immune system, (which comes after you are sick and the innate system has failed) in ways that may have a LOT of generalized negative effects they do not measure (I'm talking mostly about covid mRNA vaxes but also dead subunit vaxes and LAVs, which I am also suspicious of, but each one again needs its own scrutiny. Also mostly about res disease. Please do not extrapolate these interpretations to other, childhood diseases, as I can not comment much on those yet. Those childhood disease may well be more dependent on the adaptive immune system). Long story short, an aerosolized respiratory infection will never be stopped with narrow target (spike only) adaptive immunity priming, and what you saw was exactly what her immune system does every day, ie, capture and eliminate viral particles
They could have efficacy. It's just completely unproven and definitely exaggerated. Or you mom would have been fine without vaccines anyway. Or she is taking other things that tamp it down without realizing it.
Agree that if there's any efficacy at all it's hugely exaggerated. And at an unacceptable ridiculous risk. Maybe antibiotics and pravastatin and X clear (and the (just a few, not enough) servings of enhanced applesauce I made her eat), tamped it down. But strange she didn't even have mild symptoms - none at all ...
Certainly plausible xlear could do that
Yes, although she wasn't very consistent with the xlear.
In backwards world, before I could get there, I had to talk to multiple people to get a Drs OK for someone to hand her her bag so she could have the xlear and zinc lozenges (she hated the zinc, hardly had that at all). Talked to a doctor who said she doesn't need anything because she has no symptoms. (Explained that those things are valuable before symptoms. Emphasized no Remdesivir. Assumed I was heard.)
Meanwhile, the next day, day after her first positive PCR, an infectious disease doc orders Remdesivir. If I hadn't gotten a pro advocate from Graith Care to convince Mom to say absolute No to remdesivir, I'm sure they would have convinced her to take it. . .
You are without a doubt a great child.
You saved her life
What is so sick about your mom's story...is they would give a medical intervention without a "reason"... let's give her a boatload of treatments even though she has no symptoms. Ugh...I would have been pushing my mom out of the hospital in her gurney bed. Can you imagine how many people were given treatments without need, just so make money?!
Just shoot this infectious disease doc! Self-defense; he's a murderer!
Great article. And here is one showing the unvaxxed have a 10x higher risk of diabetes
https://nypost.com/2023/02/14/people-unvaccinated-against-covid-at-10-times-higher-risk-of-diabetes/
Does the vax cure diabetes? Or is it that the unvaxxed are on average predisposed to other health conditions? Something tells me that Pfizer isn't going to market their "safe + effective" treatment as a way to prevent diabetes, although if there was something that you took once or twice a year, with no side effects, that reduced diabetes rates by 10x, whoever invented such a thing would make a lot of money!
Thanks for this link.
I can't seem to find the "10x higher risk" figure actually inside of the study, looking a second time
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2801415
So... that Chinese study says education, healthy body weight, healthy diet, exercise, sleep, regular physical examination, hand washing, using sanitizers, wearing masks, social distancing, decreasing social gathering activities, and abstaining from smoking and drinking were all predictors of vaccination receipt. All of these are risk factors potentially. If you believe in face masks you got a problem. Hand washing definitely does have an effect so that's a big problem...
I've done a lot of research on "confounding by contraindication". It is a whole other beast where the people at highest risk of the adverse outcomes of interest are also the most likely to avoid vaccines. The math gets to be a bit mindboggling. I've modeled it in vaccines and autism. Been too sick to finish it though. Will publish some years from now...TLDR, I can conservatively prove that MMR-autism studies are off by at least a factor of 1.5.
"If you believe in face masks you got a problem. Hand washing definitely does have an effect so that's a big problem"
Remember: the items on the list correlate highly with one another. So, even if diet, exercise, and sleep constitute nearly all of the effect, the correlation will carry over to masking. I decided not to talk about that in the article in order to stay on topic.
Wasn't directing the comments at you, lol, sorry. Pointing out that if someone believes masks work, they can't believe vaccine studies. Can't have it both ways.

From the link that Mathew has placed in the last paragraph: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6060929/
Excellent explanation of the effect. I remember Norman Fenton pointing out an artifact in the UK data showing all cause mortality rising in the unvaxxed (way above actuarial life tables) as the rollout ramped up in each age group then converging overtime. If the healthiest were getting vaccinated first and the unhealthy were the stragglers you’d get the hump he pointed out and what looks like “waning” over time as the less healthy join the vaccinated group cancelling out the HUB. However, the official UK narrative is the vulnerable were the ones getting priority access to the vaccines.
The story of the "vulnerable" getting priority access just means the elderly. But you look for HUB *within* age bands, and the extreme elderly (90+) were less likely than the 70-89 y.o. to get vaccinated.
Totally agree, Norman’s video and paper were stratified into age bands. HUB within the age bands is a good explanation for the artifact in my opinion. You can see the effect as the rollout sweeps through the different age bands. The “hump” appear in each age band coinciding with the time they became eligible. He also points out some other anomalies but your explanation of HUB seems to fit the “shape” you’d expect to see if it was present.
The UK data artifact would suggest the vaccine is a magical elixir that protects against all diseases including gonergeaha 😀
I had a brief Twitter discussion with one of Fenton's coauthors and took a look at the UK data long enough to see that the HUB isn't nearly as strong there as it is in the U.S. I'm not sure why, except that the U.S. is spread out, so the only way to achieve the effect was massaging results through mandates.
Socialized medicine maybe? (brings the poor quality of care up, brings the high price quality of care down?)
Just a thought. Any economic policy that may prevent incredibly impoverished individuals may be an explanation. Something that equalizes the health of the low income with the middle to high income. No clue how they make them look effective in that case though, I don't look at their data very often. Could be any number of factors, that's just my first gut feeling. Maybe comparing to Canada would provide more insight?
Interesting you mentioned mandates. I was thinking through the effect it would have while reading your post. I can think of scenarios where it would increase the effect and others that would diminish the effect depending on the assumptions I make.
Is it something you’ve looked at or is there not enough data to make an educated guess?
Maybe, it’s just not significant either way and there are more important things to look into. I don’t know how you can cover as much as you do in such detail, but I’m grateful that you do. Awesome work as always.
The elderly, age 90+, often grew up with no medical care at all, so they are used to being independent. This is especially true if they grew up poor with no medical care, like my dad. IMO the independent streak might be a factory why people don't get vaccinated, or just do research to see if masks stop aerosolized virus particles (they don't).
Mathew, what does it look like if you plot total deaths per capita for each county in 2019 (or a pre-pandemic five year average) against vax rate in say April 2021? Would be interesting to see how the older user bias interacts with the HUB by looking at pre-pandemic death rate and later vaccine take up.
You hit the nail on the head, and something similar is coming in a future article. I got a little sidetracked setting up my education company, but I'll continue the HUB series this week.
OK, I tell the mass formationed non-Einsteins, follow along with me here:
a.) What does a vax do? Any vax? Heck, use Edward Jenner's cowpox vax 200 years ago. Just answer me what it does.
b.) Well, says our leftist somnolent wokester dolt (if they even know!), why they give you an attenuated version of the virus, gives you a light case, and it creates antibodies.
c..) Great! I say. Same with the Phfoozer shot, right? (At this point, they know they've been had). They have to agree, cuz that's what a vax does.
d.) So.... tell me, Einstein wokester, HOW LONG does this effect last? Answer: Pfizer is STILL in Phase IV trials, but we don't really know. Maybe 6 months, maybe foreover. Heck, we can't see Pfizer's data for 75 years, so who knows really. But at minimum it is MONTHS. (Oh, and by the way, we DO know, per the Lund University study, that it DOES go into the DNA, and it DOES go into the uterus, testes, crosses the blood brain barrier, etc. but that's all gravy)
e.) So, I say, we are agreed that it stimulates your immune system for a long, long time, right? That's what a vax usually does (just talking the typical vax).
f.) So, dear wokester, go out to your car now with a full tank of gas. Floor it/redline it AND LEAVE the pedal to the metal until the gas runs out, maybe 8 hours. Now, Einstein, what happens to your engine? Of course, it burns it out.
Exactly what the shot does to your immune system. It's called Antibody Dependent Enhancement or Paradoxical Immune Enhancement. They tried making a mRNA vax for the SARS pandemic ~ 15 years ago, gave it to test animals (today, WE and our freaking KIDS are Pfizer's "test animals"); upon re-exposure to another coronavirus a few months later, ALL THE TEST ANIMALS DIED.
> c..) Great! I say. Same with the Phfoozer shot, right? (At this point, they know they've been had). They have to agree, cuz that's what a vax does.
Not true. The COVID shots were re-classified as gene therapy, not vaccines, but the media just called them vaccines. No one has provided evidence that the mRNA shots create antibodies.
Yes, gene therapy is true. Antibodies? maybe, but doesn't matter, as you need to meet them where they are, and even assuming the antibody theory, it doesn't matter. You may go outside the Overton window otherwise.
I just ran into a guy the other day who told me a long story about how his digestive health changed for the worse after he started getting yearly colonoscopies at 50...and then how he was misdiagnosed with stage 4 cancer at 55, told he had less than 6 months to live, and put on extremely aggressive chemo treatment that almost killed him...before finding out that it was all a mistake and he only had a benign abdominal tumor that could be removed by surgery.
Talking specifically about the Flu vax, here in Ontario they push it hard for everyone. Anyone who sees a doctor will have it "strongly recommended" for them to the point where you have to be strong-willed to decline it. But perhaps they push it even harder for people over 50, or people over 60. So I'm curious what percentage of various age groups actually get the flu vax each year. Maybe those between 30 and 50 who see a doctor more often are more likely to get it, but then I'd call it the Paranoid User Bias.
I don’t understand why alcoholics are “obviously” vaccine averse?
