... for the protection of the life and health of the volunteers – Drs. Wodarg and Yeadon argue that vaccine trials should be halted until a study design is developed to address the significant safety concerns expressed by many eminent scientists.One objection these doctors make to ongoing vaccine trials is the dodgy PCR test being used to assess vaccine effectiveness. They say that due to the known inaccuracy of the PCR test, any serious study requires the use of so-called Sanger sequencing. This is the only way to make reliable statements on the effectiveness of a vaccine against Covid-19. On the basis of the many different PCR tests of highly varying quality currently being used in vaccine trials, neither the risk of disease nor a possible vaccine benefit can be determined with the necessary certainty, which is why testing the vaccine on humans is unethical per se.

Your previous comment on Sidney Powell not producing the goods is true, and makes me cynical. We're getting played, once again. They wanted to defuse our anger by giving us piecemeal false hope over the weeks since the election and what is coming up: legislative certifications of the election results.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to learn what the experts actually think about the vaccine. It keeps me sane, if nothing else.
It looks as though the ballot stuffing and vote flipping shenanigans will be overlooked while the election is decided on a technicality. Apparently, preserving the means for vote flipping in future elections is too important to allow reform of the electoral process. But the credibility of future elections that rely on anything but manual counts under the eye of all parties will be low to non-existent.
DeleteTom Luongo offers a rationale here for Sidney Powell's failed cases:
Delete"Powell may have brought forth a case she expected to lose with the intention of undermining the validity of our electoral process."
Or in effect justifying the case taken to the Supreme Court by Texas and other states claiming to have been disenfranchised by corruption in Michigan, et al.
Luongo is wrong to think filing suits and having them heard is the way our system works. Our system would work, if it worked, by legislation enacted with foresight and hindsight to prevent what's happened. (It happened in the past. We could have seen the problems and known they'd recur.)
DeleteYou can't close the barn door after the horses have all run out. Ninety per cent of Trump I've seen as doing exactly that. I would have been behind some of this stuff thirty years ago when it could have helped. I watched the US export its industrial base and the "conservatives" remain silent and inactive. (Which showed their elected representatives DID NOT care for their constituencies, nor did they genuinely support a strong natonal defense, for how can you have a strong national defense when your manufactury is moved to a probable aggressive and hostile enemy.) Make America great again? Okay, but government policy must save our manufacturing base and the labor it employs prior to its departure rather than after its radical multi-decade depletion.
I didn't find the conservatives worried so much about what was happening to our educational system during all that time. They are content to blame the damage on "cultural marxists", but that's only a part of the story and they know it. Or should know it. It looked as if their only priority was cutting taxes. That was their only effective action, anyway. If it had been accompanied by other forms of effective action, this would have potentially been acceptable. If they even had other good ideas, we didn't hear about them much. Maybe this is another story.
I assume Tom Luongo is a conservative. He is going to need to deal with how his conservatives have let him down consistently. He is going to need to deal with the Republican contributions to what he calls "mobocracy". I paid attention to that developing mobocracy...I saw two things. A youth which has not been given sufficient stake in the nation's well being. A youth which is poorly informed and insufficiently educated. Both of these traits are going to lean them in the direction we see them leaning. Both developed through conservation contribution either by their intention or lack of sufficient attention.
Yes! My assumption is that the elite did not give a damn about the people or the economy because they considered the people and the economy that supported them to be superfluous.
DeleteIn times past the commons mattered: The more peasants the better since each produced a small surplus that could be skimmed by the landowners and the monarch.
Then, with the industrial revolution, an accompanying agricultural revolution and the transformation of the North American grasslands to grain production, the Western populations explode, thereby providing the labor to work the growing industrial machine and the millions required to lay down their lives in total wars.
But now, with automation and the redundancy of soldiers trained in the art of disembowel with a bayonet, who needs the stinking stupid masses, with their disgusting consumption of everything from pizzas and pot and Internet porn, to automobiles and "education." the masses only clutter the landscape and destroy the environment.
What the elite want now are the high IQ H1b visa entrants to provide the tech support necessary to run an increasingly automated industrial machine and operate the high tech weapons of war (soon to be made superfluous as national elites merge to establish a global techno-tyranny dependent on brain-chips, brainwashing and flame-throwing police helicopters out of Farenheit 451).
The credibility of all of our institutions, including our scientific ones, has been severely damaged. I do not believe it can be recovered without some alteration of our society I would consider revolutionary.
ReplyDeleteSo much of the time this has been nearly all I can take.
What happened to The Great Barrington Declaration? It wasn't heeded and appears now forgotten. We could tell it wasn't going to be heeded by the remarks of most noble Hancock, even though we could see he had no credibility as an epidemiology expert, or even as a human being. But he carried the day, ultimately very smoothly.
Fantastic news now from Anchorage,
"A state-operated outpatient infusion center at the Alaska Airlines Center will provide monoclonal antibody treatments bamlanivimab by Eli Lilly and casirivimab/imdevimab by Regeneron to eligible COVID-19 patients. Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020."-- (Bill Roth / ADN)
These have just received FDA emergency approval and will be administered to outpatients who "have Covid-19" presumably based on testing positive on the damned tests no one denies are wrong virtually all the time. The reason people are being treated is to reduce the overburdening of Alaska's hospital system. Closing in on the end of the year actual to estimated deaths from all causes are at 100%. It means that the CDC's estimation of deaths from all causes, made before Covid-19 (if we can even believe that) was pretty damned accurate and the virus wouldn't have hurt us AT ALL. The lock downs, however, will destroy us as a place where people live their lives, raise their families, and seek ways to make better lives for themselves, their family, and their descendants. Lord have mercy on us.
There was, I must add, a recent Anchorage Daily News article "from the front lines" about a nurse complaining of how terribly overworked she's been in 2020 and relating how the rest of the staff has been overtaxed to near the point of breaking. I have no doubt she was telling the truth, too. Yet when I read the article, I could see it wasn't the enormous influx of severely ill patients causing this. The nursing staff has been a skeleton crew due to the need to quarantine after a positive test. Some of the nurses probably get sick and take sick leave, on top of that. There are various supply bottlenecks of course, which make life more difficult. Plus there are safety procedures complicating and lengthening patient care which the nurses must carefully follow, or else. A lot of these appear very unpleasant. I do not envy anyone working under those conditions. Along with that is what happens emotionally to very sick hospitalized people when they have no contact with family or friends. People do NEED this at such times, and nurses face the stress and strain of it, and make up the lack as much as they can. They can't really, though, which takes a toll.
In the spring, Covid causes some excess deaths as it ran through care homes. In Canada, over 80% of Covid deaths this spring were in care homes. Since then there has been no significant excess of deaths. However, the virus is still knocking off the weakest of the old, but because deaths were brought forward in the spring, the subsequent Covid deaths do not show up in the excess deaths number, which is now at zero. Thus it seems, Covid has simply reduced life expectancy by a month or two, by killing any of those it infects who are in the final stages of physical decline and who will be dead soon anyway.
DeleteThat's not so say Covid is not a nasty bug. I think I had it early in the year (headache, fever, prolonged and severe congestion), before it was known to be already circulating on the West coast of the US and, even earlier, in Europe and China.
And it does appear that the thing is damned infectious, which means it will be going around indefinitely and justifying indefinite bullying and regimentation of the population by the boss apes who cite the "scientific consensus" as justification for their regime of intimidation and subordination.
I'd seen an article in Forbes magazine published maybe in 2017 or so describing the way each wave of flu virus seemed to be increasing in virulence. There were some interesting graphs with the article. I will look around and see if I can find it and give you a link.
DeleteThere are some strange things going on in the background of all this. Peoples' immune systems seem to be compromised somehow. Food allergies in children and perhaps others seem more prevalent. I remember when my son was in nursery school there were other children there who were allergic to peanut butter. No peanut butter was allowed in the school. This seemed to be a common concern, but when I was a boy I never heard of such things.
Also the incidence of auto-immune diseases has skyrocketed.
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/246960#1 (From 2012).
"Earlier studies have shown that genetics and environmental factors cause autoimmune diseases. The researchers discovered that children and teenagers suffering from type 1 diabetes have complications, such as nerve damage, that could lead to amputations."
Virginia T. Ladd, President and Executive Director of the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA), explained:
“With the rapid increase in autoimmune diseases, it clearly suggests that environmental factors are at play due to the significant increase in these diseases. Genes do not change in such a short period of time.”
The incidence of celiac disease, which causes the body’s immune system to attack the small intestine, is also on the rise, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center. In the United States, 1 in 133 people are affected by celiac disease.
Dr. Frederick Miller of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences also believes that the increase in autoimmune diseases derives from a persons’ surroundings.
Miller said:
“The best way to combat the rise in autoimmune diseases is to do research to understand the genetic and environmental risk factors for them, so that those who are at highest risk for developing disease after certain environmental exposures might be able to minimize those exposures and prevent the development of autoimmune disease.”
I've always felt some reasonable concerns had been raised about the safety of vaccines, especially the way they are currently administered to small children. There are so many more administered, and often all at once,than ever before.
We're inducing a variety of immune responses and then we're seeing more incidence of immune system malfunction. It doesn't seem unreasonable to investigate any possible causal relationships here.
There's not been enough acknowledgement we have an older population now. There are more older people. It is not so uncommon for people to hit that remarkable birthday of 100 years. There are more people susceptible to death by flu and death by flu has always been a risk for the elderly. (I remember pneumonia being called "old person's friend", a ticket out of the old folks' home, really not such a nice place to be stuck, and on to the next world, hopefully heaven.)
Then there's the "Hygeine Hypothesis", the idea that children in developed countries are nowadays more prone to allergies because they are less exposed to certain bugs than previous generations, this due not only to greater hygiene but other factors such as Caesarian births, changes in diet, and antibiotic use -- as reviewed here.
DeleteHaving been raised during the 40's and early 50's, I can certainly confirm that people in England washed little compared with today. Ninety percent of houses in those days had an outside toilet -- even in the city. Sometimes people drew water from a well in the same small back yard where the privy was located (cf the autobiography of H.G. Welles). Fleas were common then as must have been intestinal and other parasites, which may also have affected the immune response system.
Having spent my earliest years on a impoverished farm where water had to be pumped by hand from the well, and was heated only with a kettle on the stove, I developed pretty much of an allergy to washing. Occasionally I would be placed in three of four inches of luke-warm water in a tin tub in the kitchen and scrubbed. But mostly I maintained a pretty well undisturbed microbial skin flora. In that respect I was like probably 90% of the population.
I am a bit younger than you, maybe ten years or so, but I also remember an era when a bath was something once a week. I don't remember being repulsed by the smell of sweat, either.
DeleteIf that hygiene hypothesis is correct, CS, just imagine what the new protocols are going to do. Nearly everyone with brains knows peoples' immune systems are getting weakened by shutting people in, especially children's. We aren't letting children play outside enough. This was bad before now, but now it looks to get much, much worse on that score.
There is this slight chance, I think, the viruses aren't getting more deadly, the human immune system is getting weaker. Whatever the reasons, it sure would be smart to get to the bottom of it. Imagine if viruses are getting more virulent and the immune systems getting drastically weakened.
If the powers that be truly cared about health, there would be much more concerted efforts to deal with and counteract immune system weakening. It is telling they do or say very little here.
