Spent most of today down the smallpox rabbit hole trying to understand from old papers how the virus is generally transmitted. For such a straightforward question about such a heavily studied pathogen, you'd think there would be clearer answers.

It’s very hard to transmit actually except in a specific stage of illness. It’s why quarantine was so effective for it - quarantine at fever and be extremely careful (full hazmat level careful). A long time ago I read a forum post by Hilary Butler who is very knowledgeable on this. If you can find anything from her it’s well researched info. Guessing it’s been sert from the internet by now as it was over 15 years ago I saw it, when people still shared info without censorship being the status quo.

Smallpox ended because of quarantine, not because of vaccination. Smallpox vaccination is where the original anti-vax movement springs from. Villages with 100% vaccination rates still had outbreaks. Then one village started quarantining and stopped vaccinating. And like magic their outbreaks ended. (Sorry I don’t remember the town name anymore but I believe it was in England. Hopefully that helps.)

The town in England was Leicester where in 1885 the townspeople rebelled against the smallpox vaccine because they recognized it was killing their children. If I remember correctly, about 200,000 people came from all over to demonstrate with them and they stopped the smallpox mandate. Other towns continued with the shots and with the smallpox, but Leicester became smallpox-free.

I'm reading a new biography about Noel Coward and apparently his parents at the turn of the last century refused to get him vaccinated even though it was a legal requirement. His father simply paid a fine of ten shillings. The anti-vax movement involved people objecting to state interventions in their private lives. Some things don't change!

They showed a graph of deaths of all these diseases over the years and they all took a nose dive in the 1930-1950 period, right before the vaccines came out. Childbirth deaths also took a nose dive with more sanitary practices.

Certainly someone else's version of "real" gains momentum because they are convinced they are right, and power comes from gleefully forcing this belief down everyone else's throats. When we don't like the taste it produces, we are hit over the head and sanctioned for complaining. Woe betide those who actually dare voice their discontent or outright resist.

A CIA product. And no doubt so is his daughter to be doing what she's doing now. I'd be interested in your thoughts about this small morsel?

Expand full comment

But wait - there's more!

For one, she's not embarrassed or apologetic about her father's reign of terror. He was a defender of freedom! - she believes, protecting Iranians from the Islamic thugs now running Iran. All that freedom, free speech he stood for when torturing and killing dissidents she and he now protest Iran over. Sounds a lot like US foreign policy declarations about protecting Ukraine's democracy and freedom.

And it's not like she's apologetic about her father. Recent news about her and him at protests against the Iranian regime:

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/iran-shah-infamous-savak-deputy-us-protest-press-review

At her TIME100 Leadership Award she got she had this to say:

https://time.com/6219137/pardis-sabeti-time100-impact-awards-women-iran/

"Sabeti, herself a refugee from Iran whose family fled the country shortly before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, said that her achievements in infectious disease research were only made possible by the “freedom” and “opportunities” she experienced growing up in the U.S. Amini, she said, was planning on studying microbiology and one day medicine. “Those are the fields of my own research and my own life,” Sabeti said. “But her dream was unjustly cut short.”

Pardis Sabeti is a eugenics geneticist. Her work is inspired by her regime thug enforcer father. And viral evolutionary dynamics, engineering. She shared the stage with another eugenics geneticist at the TIME100 Summit in April, 2019 - George Church. Talking about the ethics of things like viruses targeted to kill an individual or ethnicity.

Short clip: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/dr-george-church-dr-giuliana-214036340.html

Long clip: https://time.com/5574168/doctors-ethical-medical-miracles-time-100-summit/

George Church is at the center of the genetics/eugenics research world. And this was a discussion on the bioethics of the work. Interestingly, George Church received a LOT of funding from Jeffrey Epstein. Who himself was a big eugenicist. Ideas of his genes launching a big lineage in the new world order where lesser gene donors aren't in the plans. This was one of Jeffrey Epstein's biggest focuses. He also funded Martin Nowack bigly. Man of many talents. Virus design, social and behavioral scientist ('nudge' psychology'), mathematical genius applied to programmed evolutionary dynamics (PED). Epstein buddy. Many of the frequent visitors to Epstein Island were similar types of scientists and people with interests in eugenics and viruses, like Bill Gates. Maybe the little pedophilia thing was just a side show to other embarrassing subjects he didn't kill himself over?

Anyhow, it's an interesting rabbit hole to go down. Where those with ethics like these people are leading the global invisible disease to be fearful of "safety" protocols. Maybe you'd like to fly with a Fox on a Magic Persian Carpet Ride to discover more, then follow the rabbit holes it leads to?:

That's really interesting, and of effing course they are so inflated and drunk with power psychosis that they'd want to get their own genes in the next generation en masse. Of course. Some of those scientists, like Robert Trivers, may just have wanted the money Epstein could provide, since universities are essentially corporations now, but of course some of them are eugenicists. If you read Meryl Nass' analysis of the One Health EcoHealth documentation, you find that they just think we are livestock and they think they are gods making hybrids of the livestock. It is hilarious that they think they are such fine genetic specimens, well, tragicomic. I am reading Children of the Jacaranda Tree, about imprisonment and persecution in Iran. It was devastating there.

Expand full comment

Right! Terrible. Terrifying. Is it a coincidence that one of the leading figures in combating an invisible enemy with dystopian population control and terror - masks are "fear amplification" devices, aka "terrorizing" like why bank robbers and hijackers wear them - is it just a coincidence that this leading figure, Pardis Sabeti, is in her medical tyranny role because of her genetics, who she was spawned by? Another sociopathic tyrant?

eugyppius, or anyone else who understands this topic that's a lot more than I'm able to bite off right now. Martin Nowack wrote this dissertation at Universität Wien in 1989:

Some high level mathematics and theory in this. How can this subject he took up inform us about his work in fields I listed above, including eugenics, virus design, programmed evolutionary dynamics, nudge psychology, etc? There is a prominent role in much that we see evolving around us that I rather suspect he's playing. What does his study and expertise in this type of game theory tell us about him, things to come?

Same here. Example: for convenience I sometimes go to the church across the street, which is about as multicultural as it gets (not a bad thing.) Although during the shutdown the other parishioners and I who refused to wear masks joined the "traditional" parish a couple miles away. Even at the church closest to me they have long since done away with the masks and covered up the social distance markings with a new carpet runner. (The stickers left a permanent mark on the tile.) But, the few lone hold outs who still wear masks are all 5th generation Mexican-Americans who HATE Trump and LOVE Biden. Not the recent immigrants, but the well-established. I know them and they really saw the whole BLM movement as something that put us gringos in our place and finally put people of color on top. I think they keep wearing the mask because it makes permanent in their minds their newfound sense of superiority that was linked with the masks because the BLM riots and the plandemic happened simultaneously. The parish has decreased in size because about 200 non-mask wearers, (yes, mostly anglo,) switched to the traditional parish in town where almost nobody wore a mask, and the priest never wore a mask.

Funny thing is, as you said, the mask only comes on at church, along with a mantilla, (which nobody else wears at this parish.) It's pure virtue-signalling except It looks creepy as all get-out and is more like a ridiculous costume at this point.

Where do you live?

Though I think there may be much to what you say, it's been my observation that individuals of this sort are extremely conventional and have gotten to the positions they have through obedience.

No one likes an upiddy "whatchacallit". Obama epitomizes this head-down "whatchacallit" ethos. Assuming a libertarian posture is well and good but likely doesn't comport with perceptions of civil liberty protections in the eyes of such individuals.

Putting aside the psy-op of BLM and the phantasm of Mr Warpspeed aside, I've found individuals of the "head-down" sort extremely disposed toward discourses garbed in medical rhetoric. These are not NYC workers and other types as highly suspicious of government as those similarly oriented in the American hinterland listening to country music.

Thence, the "head-downers" are highly susceptible to psychological warfare of a medical nature. Masquing is indicative of responsibility to their minds. There's something quite similar throughout all East and SE Asia. Conversely, NA Indians, people of the Caribbean, and Africa were much, much more incredulous of the entire bit, which is very hard to fathom given their not being bathed in the high virtues of liberty and democracy emanating from the West. <<ahem>>

Recently - as in less than 2 months ago, I was in a hospital without a mask. 2 men who walked by and saw me not wearing one then removed their own. One put on his chin, the other removed and tried to non chalantly hide in his pocket.

They saw a woman not wearing one and decided to follow. I didn’t wear one for years before my husband stopped wearing one. He hates conflict, I hate lies. I view masks as a giant lie. So I didn’t wear one. Our hospital mandate just ended less than 2 months ago btw so it was 3 years I dealt with being othered and glared at for not masking. Most men around me couldn’t handle that and chose to mask up instead. I don’t think it’s truly gender based though. It’s all about individual fortitude.

Is everyone aware of the secret hidden illegal "Chinese research lab" found in Reedley CA several weeks ago? (But actually last Nov./ Dec. and silenced by the CA Dept. of Health.) It's a hushed up story here in the US, hardly covered by mainstream, and barely mentioned except online and by one county politician. They have been testing viruses on genetically altered mice since 2020 apparently, and no one knows who "they" were or how many more labs there are or why the CA Dept. of Health told the local county Dept of Health not to report anything. It was reported when found by the little city inspector, and then the local GOP politician who was furious. Very disturbing story. I think the rise of things like smallpox, TB, typhus, chickenpox, measles and a few other viruses may possibly be related? You all may want to check this story out. It's in the Central Valley of CA, Fresno County. (I am from CA originally and have family in the general area, and even they haven't heard much.)

And weren’t they also making rapid covid home testing kits for sale in the U.S. at that lab?

Morris Brown College has been "on the brink" for 20 odd years now, lost its accreditation and has enrollment of as few as 50 students. It's run by idiots and deserves to be shut down. Maybe this will cause it to close its doors for good.

Great find. I also found an article that reported that the college received a 2.9 million dollar great secured by US Senator Jon Ossoff earlier this year, one of the 2 democrats who won their special "elections" during the heated 2020 cycle in Georgia, ostensibly giving the dems the majority in the senate, and therefore allowing all types of COVID shenanigans to be pushed through by the Biden regime. The little college now owes its paymasters.

Even better find! That's a very interesting detail.

how can you socially distance from something that doesnt exist on campus?

very good question. people often behave as if the virus might be spontaneously generated from close contact itself, and so contact is avoided even in its total absence.

Many people suspected a return to mask mandates and vax mandates--all in time for the 2024 elections. I was an optimist b/c I couldn't believe the bureaucrats would try that again. I wanted to think we were smart enough not to fall for the charade.

I fear I'm wrong. They WILL try it again.

The Big Question is whether sensible people will allow it to happen.

Where’s their risk assessment, covering such items as inhalation of microfibres, masks causing bacterial infections, increased CO2 in circulatory system, trip and fall hazard due glasses misting up, etc?

I know someone who manages clinical trials for Pfi$er. When I talked about the risk/reward of the vaxxes, her explanation was "any medical side effects are worth it, since C0VID is fatal to the unvaxxed." So all of those side effects listed above are acceptable.

The funny part is that she knows my husband and I both are unjabbed and survived C0VID. We don't talk about it anymore because it would ruin our friendship.

She is comfortable lying to your face.

She would be the first to point you out as a dirty unjabbed if it ever came to that

I'm not vaxxed and have not had COVID, but did fall two days in a row due to the mask causing my glasses to fog up, breaking my ankle and busting my head over my eyebrow requiring 5 stitches; then breaking my collarbone and seriously bruising my hip and damaging muscles in my leg requiring TWO years of physical therapy. Total cost for emergency rooms, medical treatment, and therapy was well over $40,000. I'm not wearing a mask again.

I'm so sad for you.

How are you now?

Expand full comment

I'm lots better but my hip will never be the same. It was a really hard fall and I'm lucky I didn't break my hip. I've had trouble with falling for years due to Fibromyalgia and other auto-immune issues. But the mask wearing and sidewalks with curbs along with glasses and humidity did me in. I live in a rural area and we don't have sidewalks, just grass to roads, no transition. I fell because of curb cuts for wheelchairs, saw the flat place for the chair but missed the other part where there was the 4" curb and the othre foot fell right off. I'm a dork.

I look back at it now and realize how funny the two days were and how upsetting the episodes must have looked to others. I used to be a volunteer firefighter/EMT so when I fell each time I didn't panic, get upset, emotional, I basically assessed myself and figured it was no big deal. Others, however, could see the blood gushing from above my eyebrow and were talking about stitches, the ER, an ambulance and all and I'm wondering what they were all upset about. It wasn't until a lady got a sanitary napkin out of her bag and slapped it on my forehead that I understood I had a real problem. The NEXT day when I fell again (no I hadn't been drinking) I heard the crack when I hit my shoulder and hip and I realized that I yelled out a cuss word in front of little kids. I did get up and this time no one came to help. When I got up I tried to find a bathroom so I could look at my shoulder/collarbone. A hotel person told me how far away the bathroom was and I had a bit of a meltdown, and she insisted on calling an ambulance, I just wanted to look at it myself and see how bad things were. After a back and forth I realized she's looking at me, the lady who's hot, sweating, holding her shoulder, scraped knee, and has a huge bandage on her head with stitches saying no to an ambulance cause she fell again. So I said yes. Disney has excellent emergency services for guests, the ER at both hospitals were great, I was alone and they made sure I got back to the hotel safely, I got to the airport and upgraded myself to first class (on Spirit Airlines, ooooooo) so I didn't have to be in a tiny seat between people) and the attendant helped me tie my shoe. My husband met me in Charlotte so I could finally take some good pain meds and sleep the rest of the way home. I looked pitiful enough so people were nice to me.

Thanks for asking. I'm a tough warrior.

Well.... not exactly. The green agenda friend lives a state away; I haven't seen her in four years. The other lives on the other end of the country; I see her once every other year. Maybe. So... not people I see every day.

Plus... although these people are part of the C0VID problem, they can be allies on other things, like saying no to CBDCs and 15 minute cities.

"Select gatherings." But there will be so many exemptions for the rule-makers. And two weeks will become two months, and these kids are at near zero risk. They will save more lives by banning drunk parties than they will from COVID.

Minneapolis was locked down tight until that. Public health was not worried about the peaceful rioters, yet still encouraged people to call a hotline if a neighbor had too many visiting cars parked at their house.

Notice where this is being trialed--a campus. On a campus people are more likely to be woke, uninformed that all of these measures are complete failures and are dangerous, and mindlessly obedient.

They are hitting New York and Michigan, both states with many of the same sort of people. Once they go to these places, this will "trigger" other like (un)minded people elsewhere to point to this and say--see, they are doing it for the good of everyone. We need to do that too!

This is well calculated and manipulative. I am certainly hoping that there are people on that campus who will say, hell no and either withdraw immediately or better yet, start filing civil cases and criminal charges. These things have been adjudicated in courts of law and there are precedents. A college may not abrogate the Constitution. For the rest of us, we have to dig in our heels and refuse!
