Matthew, your analysis is brilliant and we need appropriately trained scientists to critique garbage studies. Else, we only have the headlines parroted in the media as certain truth. I do see the point Jeffry is making about the possibility of variants coming from the immune compromised or monoclonal antibody treatment. Both may provide non-sterile immunity with selective pressure. However, from a statistical point of view, the number of vaccinated far, far, far outweighs the very small population of Covid positive immunocompromised. It is more likely that variants now and in the future will arise from "leaky" vaccines aimed at a virus that mutates easily. The mechanism for immune escape is accepted and understood in the literature related to worsening of Marek's disease in poultry due to intense vaccination campaigns. The mechanism is also duly considered in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-95025-3. I would like also to point out that we cannot control natural immune escape, but we sure as hell can prevent manmade immune escape by halting our vaccine debacle. Immune escape, ADE, alarming safety signals, and waning effectiveness all lend to fact that we should quit now with a failed strategy. Dr. Kory and the other FLCCC docs have modeled the end of the pandemic with early treatment and prophylaxis. Most generic drug protocols are at least 50% or more effective at reducing hospitalization, and death- but more importantly, they reduce the spread by treating early and ending the disease before highly symptomatic and infective stages.

Matthew, Your analysis is detailed and thorough and even a nonscientist like me can follow it, Thank you.

Here is a simple video that was shared with me that clearly explains the "vaccine" concerns for many of us unwilling to submit. Share with anyone you love.

Thanks for what you do. The collusive media. Maddening.

I have been disabled from responding on twitter. Will you please respond to @MartinKuldorff where posted as I think you could support as well as respond to some of the naysayers.

“Scientists speaking up against the official pandemic narrative are not doing it for personal or financial gains. Such accusations are nuts; as that would be nuts. We do it for public health.“ https://twitter.com/martinkulldorff/status/1426665937630076934?s=21

As always,THANK YOU for your wealth of information and Humor! I can pull off one liners once in a while, but nothing like you. ;-)

Thank you for your analysis. Very important.

It would be interesting to correlate vaccination rates with safety of visiting the country.

Highest vaccination rates in Malta, UAE, Iceland, Seychelles, Uruguay, Chile, Bahrain and they are level 4.

Only Singapore is still level 2

I'm not a maths person but I do know what selective pressure is. My BA in Anthropology taught me that much. So it seems to me that these leaky vaccines could easily create the same kind of problem that antibiotic overuse does. Only it's viruses becoming adapted to leaky vaccines, rather than bacteria becoming adapted to misused antibiotics. But if so, then why are most of the scientists denying the possibility of such a well-understood problem (that we have been warned about for decades with antibiotics) existing also in this situation with the highly mutagenic coronaviruses? Everything seems to be upside-down these days and it's very disorienting.

I posted a short comment here two or three days ago, which is no longer visible. It wasn't off topic or disrespectful, in my opinion, so I'm wondering why it was deleted.

Salut Matt,

These may be of interest,

Haven't looked closely, I have to admit that statistics wasn't my best subject at university. I am a lowly chemist who has to "hum" any equation that comes along.

Before our email conversation devolved, that is the point I was trying to make -- that I think you have a strong burden of proof if you want to make the GVB argument that the variants ORIGINATED in the vaccinated hosts.

Conflating #1 and #2 muddles the discussion.

Another point I have not seen you consider (I admit I haven't read all your posts so let me know if discussed elsewhere) is the potential for variants to emerge in unusual circumstances such as immunocompromised individuals with long Covid treated with monoclonal antibodies, e.g. This has been documented to produce an accumulation of selected mutations within that person, which some have hypothesized as potential origin of major variants (especially ones for which there is a huge jump in the phylogenetic tree in which the variant differs substantially from previously documented variant).

How are you so confident that the temporal/geographic connection of variant origins with vaccine trials implies causation? How can you be sure there was not origin in some other way, e.g. as in the example above, and that it was from those in the vaccine trials?
