The idea of a sanity check reminds me of another question from my physics course at school:

A pilot does a certain round trip every day (500km to the destination, 500km back). Usually, the plane flies at 200km/h. Today, for some reason (traffic jam in the sky, what do I know), the pilot was only able to fly at 100 km/h on the way to the destination. How fast would he have to fly on the way back in order to make up for the time lost?

The typical student answer would be along the lines of "purple, because aliens don't wear hats"

To which the good professor would have to say: "This is alienophobic, and we should decolonize our minds before we come into contact with aliens."

he would just have to stay stationary for 21.5 hours, as then he would be where he would have been if the traffic jam had not occurred.

indeed - it's something of a worry

I'm utterly baffled why more booster shots (based on the original WuFlu) are being recommended - it makes not one jot of sense from any medical or scientific perspective.

There isn't just a slight mismatch between science (proper) and policy - it's a fucking humungous chasm now.

there never was a medical sense.

this never was a medical issue to begin with.

this is about thinning the herd and it always was.

Guttermouth, is this conjecture on your part, or are some dissident scientists warning that this is on the way? If you have some links, please share.

Doc, because I like you so much, I spent the last 30 minutes scouring my subs to try to find the most recent analysis that touches on this, but all I was able to find was evidence that I read too much. :) Seriously, there was just too much, but...

EGM did a fairly recent data analysis where they show a pretty clear signal that vaccination is aligning with MORE hospitalizations, not less. Eugyppius did a recent piece (here's the non-data one, but there are other ones that are crunchier: https://www.eugyppius.com/p/from-wild-type-sars-2-to-omicron) about how nosocomial transmission allows viruses to be "hotter" because a hospital setting means a person isn't isolated in the same way they would be if they were sick enough to stay home.

The eugyppius article will definitely answer your question as regards theory (and some folks who have commented already have shown others). EGM has pointed to some recent data that supports my concerns.

I deeply appreciate that, Guttermouth. I am a big fan of your writing, too, and just made it official. Hopefully you can use that to buy more food for your AK.

Igor is doing great detective work and laying out the evidence for a cataclysm of biblical proportions. I hope he's wrong on this, but my instincts tell me he isn't and that this nightmare is moving on to an even darker place.

Thanks again. God bless you and your family, Guttermouth. Stay safe!

My AK is the only well-fed horse in the stable; 7.62x39 bafflingly remains plentiful and relatively uninflated.

The picky princess is currently .45 Colt.

Thanks for the well wishes. My gut tells me we have a good ways to go before this really starts tumbling fast; there's still plenty of time for smart people to make the right moves for themselves and their families.

We are going to need to start building real coalitions in this country very soon.

Go look at Geert Vanden Bossche's substack and website....Also Mark Changzi on facebook just brought up a peer reviewed paper on leaky vaccines and what they lead to..from 2014.

It is pretty widely known among some scientists, and is accepted as pretty much the rule by those in the know.

The real problem here is your usage of a white supremacist paradigm to assess vaccine efficacy. As recently reported by NPR, people-- LOTS of people-- silent people-- invisible people-- are silently and invisibly dying in Africa. Where are they on your charts? How do you count all the people who never speak and are never seen? NPR has some ideas, but let me leave you with my favorite quote with an interview with the person who has been tasked with vaccinating the crowds across the continent begging, protesting, and lobbying (all silently and invisibly) for Covid vaccines:

"I mean, there's an institutional racism and an institutional otherism that's going on in this world at the moment. There are those saying that, 'Well, you know, perhaps we don't need to vaccinate 70% or as many Africans as we had thought because so many of them have caught COVID already anyway; surely there's a wall of natural immunity brewing.'

But the same people are not saying that there is a wall of natural immunity brewing in America where there's been widespread infection, or in Europe or in the U.K. So that begins to imply this otherism, this sense of, 'Are they physiologically different to us?' Which is a dangerous place to go. It's either that or the question being posed is, 'Are Africans not being as badly affected because we are not measuring their deaths in the same way?' Or, 'Are Africans and other people dispensable?' I mean, these are really troubling sort of themes that are beginning to emerge."

But we are being horribly racist and white supremacist by not affording Africans every opportunity to share in the great benefits of clots, strokes, heart attacks etc.

"LOTS of people-- silent people-- invisible people-- are silently and invisibly dying in Africa"- so funny. 😅 (I think you're being sarcastic here, which is what I'm finding funny).

However, at this point it general observation of the continuation of the plandemic and rational thought make it clear that the Goo not only has zero efficacy, but is actually causing serious injury and death.

I have no reason to believe the release of the #WuhanFlu was intentional, but the tyrannical actions taken by governments around the world seems on it face to be planned.

I really like this big picture view. Seeing this is not the way it's supposed to be, this is not how a successful vaccine works.

I so appreciate that sometime last winter I stumbled upon the works of such great thinkers and writers here on Substack. It has been a breeze of sanity blowing away the miasma of putrid swamp gas that is clouding the realities of so many people.

I question though how many different ways must it be shown that the jab is not healthy, not effective, not safe, not even what it chemically claims to be before the pendulum of understanding swings back to rationality? (Not even going down the whole crazy train of world politics.)

The coming (northern hemisphere) winter may (or may not) be that macabre winter of death. I am generally not a patient observer. I have always preferred observe–orient–decide–act. Sometimes though that's all one can do. As with economics, all the professional political spin jobs on every channel and at every outlet can't change reality, and eventually even the most mentally laundered see it for what it is, and will step out of the way.

Substack has been amazing

I don't know how much longer they'll be able to hold out, but their commitment to free speech and the free and open dissemination of ideas and opinions is a real breath of fresh air after the totalitarian tech platforms like Twitter and Facebook and Instagram.

I think they'll be properly gunning for Substack soon.

"The development of covid-19 vaccines was a scientific triumph." in the latest edition of 'The Economist'. How can they publish something like this? https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2022/07/07/covid-19-vaccines-saved-an-estimated-20m-lives-during-their-first-year
