Covid Lies From the Mouths of Politicians: "Within Months, All Germans Will Be Vaccinated, Cured or Dead" — German Health Minister

When Jens Spahn, Germany's Minister of Health, said that, within months, all Germans will be "vaccinated, cured, or dead," his objective, presumably, was to so terrify the unvaxxed that they would get the jab. 

However, the statement of this latter-day Goebbels embodies a lie, three lies in fact. 

First: 

Conveyed by implication, the Minister's first lie is that the "vaccinated" are a distinct category from the "cured" and the "dead".  This however is not so.  British data show that the vaccinated are more, not less, likely than the unvaccinated to catch Covid. That means that the vaccinated must, in greater numbers than the unvaccinated, be joining the community of the "cured" or the "dead".

In fact, among adults over the age of 29, the British data show that the Covid case rate, i.e., cases percent, for the vaccinated is more than twice that for the unvaccinated.

Second:

 As for the division between the "cured" and the "dead," it is true, again according to British data (see Page 15), that mortality from Covid is higher among the unvaccinated that the vaccinated, but contrary to the implication of the minister's statement, the risk of death from Covid is not great, rather, it is barely higher than that from the flu. 

Among under 18's, the recorded death rate per 100,000 was zero for both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. 

In the 18- to 60-year-old category, the death rate for the four-week period to Week 42 was 2.8 in 100,000 (0.0028%) among the unvaccinated, versus 0.48 in 100,000 (0.00048%) among the vaccinated. 

For the over 60's the recorded overall mortality was 63 per 100,000 (0.063%) among the vaccinated versus 176 per 100,000 (0.176%) among the unvaccinated.

For comparison, in 2019, deaths in the UK involving flu and pneumonia averaged 8.5 per 100,000  (0.0085%) per four-week period, which is four times the death rate from Covid among unvaccinated people between the ages of 18 and 60 recorded during the four weeks to October 24, 2021. 

Third:

The third lie implied by the German "Health" Minister's statement is that the progress of Covid through the population is a bad thing that must be halted. In reality, Covid is beyond containment. All attempts,  however draconian, to stop the spread of this highly infectious virus have failed. That is true even in China, where outbreaks are ongoing. Covid has become endemic, meaning that it is now widespread and ineradicable by means of any feasible public health measures.

Now, therefore, the objective of public policy should be to allow the acquisition of herd immunity through naturally acquired infection among the majority of the population, although those wishing to obtain whatever benefit there may be from vaccination should certainly be free to do so. The resultant more widespread immunity from infection, already acquired by a large fraction of the world's population, will prove to be both more robust and more durable than the short-lived,  narrow-spectrum immunity provided by the so-called vaccines.

 With the attainment of herd immunity, the virus will reach a stage of so-called endemic equilibrium, meaning that it will remain in circulation, but at a sub-epidemic rate, its spread limited by naturally acquired immunity throughout the population. 

Immunity from the so-called vaccines will not be a factor in ending the Covid pandemic since we have seen from the UK data that the vaccines do not stop, but rather promote, viral spread. 

The vaccines now available are of value, at best, in moderating the severity of disease. Moreover, there is a cost to the use of the vaccines, that being an increase in the number and virulence of newly created Covid variants. 

Far from inducing a general immune system response, the vaccines induce merely the production of antibodies to just one of the virus's 18 protein components, namely the spike protein of the original Wuhan Covid strain. Thus, any mutation in the Covid spike protein that evades neutralization by vaccine-induced antibodies makes the vaccinated person a potential incubator for a novel Covid variant. 

This phenomenon of vaccine-facilitated immune escape means that the ongoing and world-wide drive to achieve universal vaccination with the present generation of "leaky" Covid vaccines may be about to create a global catastrophe. Specifically, the vaccines may be giving rise to an array of Covid variants more deadly than the original virus. Thus, to quote an article from The Lancet:

If substantial immune evasion occurs, current vaccines are likely to still offer some benefit to individuals. At the population level, however, they could induce viral selection and escape, making the prospect of achieving herd immunity increasingly remote.
That is a truly terrifying prospect: a world ravaged by multiple Covid variants, against which the achievement of population-wide natural immunity has been made virtually unattainable.

Yale Epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch: It's the Unvaccinated who should fear the vaccinated, not the other way around

Avi Abelow, Founder & CEO of The Pulse of Israel, recently interviewed Yale Epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch, MD, Ph.D. He asked, should the vaccinated fear the unvaccinated? Dr. Risch responded:

No. I put it the other way around. The unvaccinated should be afraid of the vaccinated. They’re just as infected. In fact, maybe more infected. If vaccinated, people are infected. So it is well known that it is the vaccinated people that generate the mutant strains and not the unvaccinated people. And that has led to the corruption of the medical establishment: saying that unvaccinated people are generating the mutants is an absolute falsehood. It is exactly the opposite. This has been known for 100 years that it’s vaccinated people who are more prone to generate mutant strains.

Vaccine-Induced Covid Variants: The More the Scarier, the Better to Force Your Acceptance of Tyrannical Social Control

Universal vaccination to control a viral pathogen during a pandemic assures the emergence of mutant viral strains that evade vaccine-induced immunity. It works like this: the antibodies induced by the vaccine kill the dominant viral strain, which makes the infected person an ideal host for the multiplication and spread of mutant virus particles resistant to the vaccine-induced antibodies.  

So what is almost every national government doing during the Covid pandemic? They are seeking to force the vaccine on every member of the human race, including infants and pregnant women. 

And what do we see as a result? Variants that have achieved immune escape, which is to say resistance to the antibodies induced by the vaccine, the latest such variant being called Mu, for mutant.

But not to worry: Big Pharma will produce booster shots, engineered to deal with the scariest variant. 

But what happens as the variants multiply? 

Are you ready for  multiple booster shots, two? three? a dozen? every month a new one?

And even then there will remain the expense, comparable to that of a major war, of lockdowns, mandatory face masks, school closures, termination of the right of free movement, thousands upon thousands of small business closures, plus the psychological trauma leading to more drug abuse, alcohol abuse, child abuse, wife beating -- the fallout from what amounts to a deviant medical tyranny. 

And for what? To treat a viral disease with a mortality rate of around one in one hundred thousand among children (much less than the flu), rising to maybe one in several hundred for older adults, and one in ten for those in their eighties?

Covid, or rather the response to it, is a scam. It is a project in the name of medicine to impose a tyranny to be permanently enforced by means of vaccine passports, an arrangement that will  transform into a Chinese-Communist-style system of social credit: which is to say total behavioral control by way of round the clock surveillance, big data, artificial intelligence and automatically imposed restrictions on your freedom of action.

Quote of the Day: It's the Vax That's Creating the Variants

Geert vanden Bossche, PhD (virology), formerly:
Head of Vaccine Development at the German Center for Vaccine Development; Employed in vaccine development with GSK Biologicals, Novartis Vaccines, Solvay Biologicals; Program Manager with the Geneva-based Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization:
“Given the huge amount of immune escape that will be provoked by mass vaccination campaigns and flanking containment measures, it is difficult to imagine how human interventions would not cause the COVID-19 pandemic to turn into an incredible disaster for global and individual health.”
Source

What is immune escape? 

It's when the antibodies you produce in response to viral infection fail to kill mutant forms of the virus. 

How does the vax promote immune escape?

First, if you're infected, the virus multiplies throughout the tissues of your body. 

Then, your vax-primed immune system kicks in, producing antibodies to the original Wuhan strain.

Every virus particle susceptible to those antibodies dies, which leaves the field (which is to say the cells of your body) wide open to the multiplication of any mutant among the billions of viral particles that pervade your tissues that are resistant to antibodies to the Wuhan strain of the virus.

This development is called "Immune escape."

Deployed during the ongoing global pandemic, the vax can thus to play a key role in the emergence of new Covid variants.

And what are the consequences of immune escape?

First, having taken possession of your body, the Covid variant created with vax-assistance, will likely achieve transmission to others. For example, in the absence of social distancing, lockdowns, etc., every case of the Delta variant creates around eight new cases in a population without immunity. 

Second, if the vax-created variant is deadly, it may kill you — though probably not before you've passed it on. 

But remember, if you don't get vaxed, Justin Musso Trudeau won't send you  to the back of the bus, he will prohibit you from riding the bus, a train, a ship or a plane, he will boot you from any public sector job you may hold, and he will tell the world that you are a very bad, contemptible and stupid person. 

So go on. Get vaxed. You may make the pandemic worse, you may die as a result, but what's that compared to being scorned by Justin Trudeau.

Why Trudeau Called an Election Now

Whether anyone reads this blog I sometimes doubt. Google supplied stats indicate an all time hit count of just over one million. But daily totals fluctuate in what seems a meaningless fashion, from practically zero to a thousand or more. But even when the daily count is high (relatively speaking, that is), reader comments, if there are readers, are few and far between. Not that I care greatly. I write to find out what I should think.

However, reader's comments, other than the spam variety, are certainly welcome, and today Unknown's comment provides a hook to hang some thoughts. 

The comment:

"I don't get the election call"

Which prompts this response:

To call a premature election without declaring a rational justification means either:

1. That Trudeau believes his chances are better now than they will be at any time in the next two years,

 or 

2. That Trudeau wants a full four-year mandate for whatever undeclared plan he has for Canadians. 

or 

3. Both of the above.

Under the first heading, which is to say the assumption that things are about to get a lot worse, we can anticipate:

 (a) full Covid immune escape, followed by forcible injection of everyone with top-ups, back-ups, long-stops or whatever the Hell they call the next few rounds of futile, potentially toxic, and quite possibly sterilizing jabs. 

(b) In addition, we're gonna see raging inflation, rising from the current maybe 10 to 20 percent (bought potatoes the other day for $1.99 a pound -- and I remember the days of childhood when spuds were but a penny a pound); to a low accelerating hyper-inflation rate of say 50 to 100%.

(c) Plus, an imploding housing market as interest rates start following the inflation rate and all those families that leveraged to the max to get a home, a place to raise a family, go bankrupt as their mortgage payments rise ten, twenty, fifty and more than 100 percent. 

Under the second heading, there's the coming "Great Reset (to use the terminology of the perps.), meaning death to tens and hundreds of thousands of small Canadian businesses, while the globalist corporations pick up assets for pennies on the dollar and take over the business that occupied the small business space.  

If that is what we are about to see, it will take time for the bastards to grind the little guys down and force them onto the dole, but four years of it should insure an irreversible transformation of the economy.

Time To Acknowledge Covid Vaccine Failure and Recognize That Infection-Acquired Herd Immunity Is What We'll Get

 The new-technology, Covid so-called vaccines are "leaky."

Probably few readers understand what it means for a vaccine to be "leaky." Allow me, therefore, to explain: 

A leaky vaccine is one that protects the vaccinated while allowing them to spread the pathogenic agent to the unvaccinated. Cool, hey: it's a vax that kills all those stupid anti-vaxxers. 

A further feature of the leaky Covid vax, is that the vaccine induced antibodies facilitate the reproduction and transmission of viral mutants beyond the control of the vaccine. This this is occurring is evident from Covid outbreaks among the vaccinated now being observed both in Israel and Australia

But no prob, Big Pharma has the answer: vaccine boosters, top-ups, extenders or whatever they call what are in effect new vaccines against new viral strains arising through vaccine-induced immune escape. 

Immune escape is when vaccine-induced antibodies eliminate the original viral strain (the Wuhan strain in this case) from the cells of a vaccinated individual, thereby clearing the path for multiplication of any antibody resistant mutants that may have emerged and which will readily infect the vaxxed as readily as the unvaxxed.

Then there's the risk (never evaluated in the case of Covid vaccines) of vaccine-induced antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). That is, enhancement of viral infectivity and virulence, as explained here

Now, we are thus faced with the prospect of an unending stream of potentially more dangerous covid variants each having escaped control by the latest iteration of the vaccine. 

It is now apparent, therefore, that the professional epidemiologists were correct: covid should have been allowed to spread without restriction except among the most vulnerable, those being chiefly the old and the obese. In that way, we would by now have acquired durable, robust, population-wide, immunity: that is robust, durable, full-spectrum herd immunity against all Covid variants. 

While it is late, it is not too late to go for natural immunity. This, however, cannot be achieved with the original Wuhan strain of the virus in countries where most of the population has already been vaccinated against the Wuhan strain. 

Instead, it will be necessary to isolate a variant that is no more virulent than the Wuhan strain (and preferably much less so), but which is unconstrained by the so-called vaccines that have been distributed.

The side effects of this live-virus vaccine should be no worse than the common cold, but its immunological effect will be to induce full-spectrum resistance, including long-lived T-cell immunity to all Covid variants.

But it is a near certainty that no such plan will be adopted. Instead, we appear headed for global depopulation as Covid evolves under the driving influence of so-called vaccines, into an ever more efficient vaccine-resistant killer.

When more Covid-19 data doesn’t equal more understanding

Fauci admits the vaccinated can spread Covid as well as the unvaccinated 

So that ends the moral argument for vaccination: The unvaccinated are no more a danger to others than the vaccinated, and probably they are less of a danger since they don't have the sense of security that vaccination provides and which promotes behaviour that heightens the risk of infection.

Will Vaccines End the Pandemic?

From Britain, where 35% of the population has now been jabbed with one of the novel RNA "vaccines," the indications are that the treatment works. Among the "vaccinated" both cases and hospitalization rates are falling. 

Thus: 

Even a single dose of the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines helps reduce the incidence of both severe illness and hospitalizations, 

Even a single dose also helps lower mortality.


Still, there are some who say it is too soon to declare victory over Covid. Indeed, it has been argued that mass vaccination during a pandemic is precisely the wrong thing to do.

Why?

Because it will drive viral immune escape, making the virus resistant to, not only the novel "vaccines," but also the body's natural defense mechanisms.

Perhaps the most vocal exponent of this concern is the highly qualified vaccine expert, Dr. G. vanden Bossche. In this interview he expounds the reason for his concern:

Or to summarize Dr. vanden Bossche's thesis, the mRNA vaccines:
(1) suppress disease expression without preventing infection and virus transmission.

(2) induce antibodies effective against current viral strains, while suppressing the production of natural, long-lived, broad-spectrum antibodies effective against novel virus strains. 

(3) because of (1) and (2), vaccines drive the survival and spread of novel viral strains against which the current mRNA vaccines will be ineffective.
Those, collectively, must be the mechanisms that account, in whole or in part, for the phenomenon of antibody-determined enhancement, or ADE -- the enhancement being of viral infectivity and disease severity. 

So are the Brits really winning the war on Covid?

Or are they merely enjoying hubris before nemesis in the form of a renewed and more deadly "vaccine"-induced epidemic?

Ominously, Zero Hedge reports: COVID Cases Are Spiking In A Dozen States With High Vaccination Rates but the details provided are too few to draw any conclusion as to whether these trends could be an early indication of ADE in action.

What is not certain the question of vaccine safety is that expert opinion is uncertain. Thus for example, a review article published only five months ago in the journal Frontiers in Immunology concluded with the following statement:
Potential disease enhancement and other theoretical safety concerns related to each type of vaccine need to be understood and carefully monitored for, while potential suboptimal immunity may need to be overcome. Certain vulnerable populations may respond poorly to vaccination, or the vaccine may predominantly protect against severe disease, rather than infection. If T cells prove critical for protection, it will be necessary to ensure that the included T cell epitopes are recognized by enough HLA types to ensure worldwide coverage.
So if you've already been vaccinated, thanks and congratulations for taking part in the world's largest ever experimental vaccine trial.
