"and one wonders why"

I'll bite. A la Tainter (and many others I'm sure) the last stage before collapse is too many symbol manipulators trying to manage complexity, draining real resources from those who keep the lights on and the sewage flowing.

We used to make things. Now we make believe. And we can't tell the difference.

Just to be clear. You're not open for financial support yet, right? Want to make sure I'm not missing something.

After Reading 'Pandora's Lab: Seven Stories of Science Gone Wrong, I am in the camp that we are going to be asked to have booster after booster simply because nobody in charge is questioning the 'Science' that big Pharma is pushing out. I highly recommend the book so people can see how easily the scientific community can be swayed into making bad decisions.

Speculating, I think that the bureaucracy may be too dispersed (I'm talking about the US). PCR test analysis protocols, for instance, is different in every lab, not even every state. Since testing is still mainly done voluntarily rather than through random population sampling (i.e. in compliance with epidemiological measurement standards), rona continues until the media-panic/population panic ourobouros dies of old age.

This is GREAT reporting...and I wonder, Eugyppus, if any "science" reporters at any wide-circulation news platforms are subscribers.

Any ADE/VED in the cattle

or clues as whether those are in the cards with the current human injections?

I hope this is still up by the time you read this https://twitter.com/Casper88728495/status/1438920251530530821

there were four more videos stating a very similar case, but they have already been deleted

Basically, in case it's already gone when you get there, they are all quoting whistle blowers (seems to be more than one) that hospitals in Australia have been treating breakthrough cases with Vitamin I (and therefore saving them) and unvaccinated people are still getting nothing but ventilators, and therefore death

Very interesting piece. Thanks for this!

i'm not sure these folks were smart enough to delay rollout to coincide with spring and that it may have been a lucky accident of playing politics.

it's clear there was A LOT of political pressure not to approve via EUA any vaccines until after the US election in order to deny trump any claims to having helped in their creation.

twitter is rife with "posting their L's" comparisons of pundits and politicians calling the "trump vaccine" fraud back then and now ruthlessly pimping for mandated "fauci ouchies."

(this account is a fun follow)

many likely mistook spring for vaccine efficacy and the summer surge in the southern US as "failure to vaccinate and distance."

but they seem to be in for a surprise as folks like NYT are claiming the vaccines saved the "blue states" that are now mostly showing huge covid growth as they come (oddly early) back into season and where many are WAY ahead of a year ago and even nearing past winter peak for hospitalizations.

if they had been smart enough to time vax to seasonal decline, they would be smart enough not to set themselves up to look so foolish now as florida keeps dropping and northern new england surges.

parsimony would seem to indict politics here and make it appear they got lucky, not smart on seasonality.

and, of course, the rewards for mistaking luck for smarts tend to be pretty unpleasant.

should make for an interesting winter....

Great article - again! Wondering if people might be receptive to strategies to help protect themselves from the virus and the vaccine. What can people do to protect themselves from the VIRUS and the VACCINE? Many people who’ve taken the vaccine have ‘buyer’s remorse’ and may be wondering what action they can take after the fact. Interestingly, I wrote about these topics in the Spring of 2020.

Optimal levels of vitamin D protect against the virus and vaccine.

SPIKE PROTEIN ATTACKS ENDOTHELIAL CELLS - One of many things of great concern is the direct injection of the spike protein into the body as part of the 'vaccination' protocol. Salk (April 2021) has shown that the spike protein is an endothelial cell toxin and appears to be linked to the cardiovascular events that follow the vaccination (for example, https://www.salk.edu/news-release/the-novel-coronavirus-spike-protein-plays-additional-key-role-in-illness/).

The spike protein in the vaccine is a toxic agent.

VITAMIN D & ENDOTHELIAL HEALTH- The best way, currently, to protect from the virus and the vaccine is by maintaining optimal vitamin D. A blood level of 80-100 ng/ml optimizes immune function and can be achieved with 5000 - 8000 IU vitamin D3 daily. I wrote about vitD and COVID in early 2020. Interestingly, the third article listed below is somewhat prescient in that it describes how vitD maintains healthy endothelial cells in the cardiovascular system and can be used to reverse endothelial cell damage. Perhaps those who have taken the vaccination could gain some piece of mind taking vitD? It won't hurt, since the vast majority of the US population is chronically vitD starved (73%) and it will be helpful long term - not just for COVID.

I have been a livestock Vet for the past 38 years in the UK. We have had a combined Rotavirus and Coronavirus vaccine for cattle the past 20 years or so.(For~ 10 years prior to that the vaccine was anti -rotavirus only)

It is given to the dam pre birth but their antibodies can only be transferred to the calf in approx the first 12 hours after birth in the colostrum.( First Milk)

No placental transfer of antibodies occurs in livestock cf to humans.

The aim is to protect the calf from neonatal diarrhoea. Rotavirus is by far the most virulent of the 2 viruses but as long as cow management allows good colostrum intake the clinical effect is excellent.

We have never recognised or tested for coronavirus family viruses as a cause of bovine respiratory disease in the UK.

Imma take a stab at this question with the following: the government realized substantial power within the fear of COVID, pharma realized the opportunity to use the fear to then generate a never ending stream of revenue based on the ‘need’ to boost, and finally, the Karens are so afraid now that all this is possible.

First time reader/poster. I have resisted getting the Pfizer jab here in New Zealand but it seems like the pressure is enormous. The biggest newspaper here is running a campaign to have the country 90% vaccinated, which I doubt will ever happen. We are supposed to be getting Novavax (it looks like next year now, and maybe only for boosters, so I do not know if it will ever be offered as the main shot). If it is offered, is it safer getting Nova, which is a traditional protein-based vaccine? I also hear that Valneva is being trialed in patients here.

Thank you. Good context and history.

"We did not take the exit, though, and one wonders why."

Delta came along too soon and too heavy to ignore.

If seasonality has an impact on the virus, what do hemispheric differences tell us?
