Damnit, Not Again

By Karl Denninger, The Market Ticker

There are times that the “F” word is absolutely appropriate.  For example on August 6th, 1945, by the Mayor of Hiroshima in the instant of time just before he was BBQ’d: What the **** was that?

This is one of those and so I’ll use it without reservation: ****.

A drive-by parade outside of Methodist Mansfield Medical Center last April was supposed to be Corey Ripe’s happy ending. The 47-year-old was headed home after a week on a ventilator battling COVID-19.

Ok, he got Covid, he got it bad in March/April 2020 before we knew what we were doing — but he lived.

Then, January.

Three days later, they got confirmation that, in addition to pneumonia, Ripe had once again contracted the virus that had already nearly claimed his life.

Really?  What was the Ct on that test?  You see, I read that linked article and it describes symptoms that don’t make a lot of sense for Covid-19.  Certainly anything’s possible but the article does make sense for a whole bunch of other infections particularly if he had secondary bacterial pneumonia.  What did the hospital give him?  Nobody has said.  There wasn’t an antibiotic in there by chance, was there?

He then gets vaccinated post-recovery.  Remember, the vaccine prevents severe disease and death, we’re currently told.  We were previously told it prevented getting the virus (that was a lie), that it prevented symptoms (that was a lie), that it prevented giving the virus to others (that was a wild-eyed, entirely-unscientific claim with zero evidence and proved to be a crazy-faced lie as is now showing up everywhere including at all-vaccinated colleges) and now it’s “you won’t go to the hospital or die.”

OH REALLY?  WHERE IS THIS GUY RIGHT NOW?

Still, Saturday night, though he’d shown no prior symptoms, Parris knew it had to be COVID-19 again when she heard the fluid in his lungs.

She rushed him to the ER. And an hour later, Parris got a familiar call.

Ripe was intubated and waiting for an available ICU bed.

I see.

So here are my questions, since this is so wildly improbable that I find it impossible to believe unless something really, really ugly is going on with these jabs.

• At his second alleged infection did the hospital check for both “S” and “N” antibodies at admission?  They should have been present.  You know they didn’t look.  But let’s assume, for the sake of argument, the first infection really was Covid (it’s entirely plausible) and not the flu with a secondary bacterial infection that got him.  I’m not sold on this because H1N1 was going around at that time, I got what I presume was that in January 2020, it did get into my lungs and it flattened me for a week with serious hanging-on symptoms, notably a nasty non-productive cough, that kept hanging on for a month and material cardio impairment for several more (it was worse than Covid-19 which I got first days of August of this year.)  It was bad and I thought, after Covid-19 became known to be a “thing”, I might have had it.  But it was not Covid-19; I know scientifically it was not because a few months later I sourced IgG antibody tests and I was negative.
  
• After the second alleged infection but before he got vaccinated did anyone check for both “S” and “N” antibodies?  You know the answer to that one too.  Of course not.  “If you’re recovered you should still get vaccinated” is what every ******* in the medical and political field has said even though there is zero evidence you get any benefit from doing so and, post-infection, the data is that your protection is many times (13x or more, to be exact) better than getting jabbed.
  
• In any event being an alleged “two-time winner” of the Covid-19 sweepstakes, a statistically unlikely thing to the extreme unless one of the two wasn’t actually Covid, he takes the (bad) advice and gets vaccinated.  Ok, so now he should have both “N” antibodies (from previous infection) and a bunch of “S” ones.
  
• Now a few months later he gets hammered.  Again they say “Covid-19.”  Did they look at admission time for those antibodies this time?  You know damn well they did not and, much worse, this time was extremely rapid onset which strongly implies that VEI may be in the game here.  Yet I’ll bet $1,000 they did not pull antibody titers for both “S” and “N” proteins on admission and given the history I’ll argue that’s not only personal malpractice it’s public-health malpractice and gross negligence.

Here’s why those antibody titers are important especially this time around.

Natural infection provides a higher (by quite a lot) “N” protein titer than “S”.  Why is that?  Because coronaviruses have evolved so their “S” proteins can evade the immune system.  If this was not the case they couldn’t infect you, but obviously they do.  Thus natural infection will produce both but the “N” titer will be higher.

Vaccination produces NO “N” antibodies at all because they’re not encoded in the vaccine.  That’s intentional; the hypothesis that all the vaccine makers in the US used (and in Europe and many other places) operated under was informed by work that was done when SARS was going around.  Vaccines were attempted and they all failed due to ADE-style problems during animal trials.  The belief was that they failed because of the “N” protein in the vaccine.  This was supported by mechanistic (not in-body) work and sounds plausible (I’ve read the work) but the problem is that many times what appears to be “correct” on a mechanistic or test-tube basis doesn’t work that way in the human body.  Since SARS disappeared we never tested this theory on people before Covid-19 showed up because we couldn’t; there was no virus against which to risk natural infections and challenge trials with something like SARS are flat-out nutso given its fatality rate.  The short trials we did do this time around before EUAs issued accounted only for the wild strain that was in circulation at the time; all these other “letters and numbers” mutations were not known as they didn’t exist and thus couldn’t be tested against.  All looked ok, and away we went without any long-term data to back up the claims.  Then we licensed one of them with less than a year’s worth of data to back up the belief that enhancement was off the table.

If this guy has a significant “S” titer, particularly if he has one that is higher than his “N” titer then when he was injected he did produce the expected antibody response.  In other words the expectation is that he had “protection.”  If he has no titer then he is the one dude out of millions that both got nothing in the way of immunity from either infection or vaccination.

But assuming he does have antibodies given his extremely-rapid deterioration this time — from no symptoms to insane deterioration to the point of requiring intubation within a day this time around that implicates VEI in an extremely serious way and in fact until disproved that has to be the presumed reason he got hit that hard, that fast.

This is exactly what VEI (ADE is a subset of VEI, “Vaccine Enhanced Infection”) looks like when it happens folks.  People go from being asymptomatic or only mildly ill to crashing within hours.  The presumption when someone who is vaccinated and has an antibody titer has this sort of thing happen is that is, until conclusively excluded, what you’re dealing with is VEI and it’s a pull the damned alarm right now because the risk of people being imminently ****ed en-masse is on the table sort of event.

If that is what happened then the odds are extremely high that a mutational strain that can tear through the vaccinated population like a wrecking ball is here in the United States — right here, right now.

No bull**** folks.

The only “out” from this scenario if that’s what happened to this individual is that whatever strain he has is disadvantaged on an evolutionary basis and thus will not widely spread and become a material part of the mix.  That is not and cannot be brought under our control.

I Hate Being Right

By Karl Denninger, The Market Ticker

I told you a few weeks ago I was seeing very disturbing data that strongly suggested the jabs were, in some form or fashion, destroying existing immunity or otherwise potentiating more-severe disease.  I didn’t have the hard data to quantify it, but I’ve mentioned the drift in the data streams for some time now.  It was clear and convincing, but not quantifiable.  Until now.

I didn’t then (and still don’t) know the mechanism; I don’t have billions of dollars of lab laying around I can play with.  But on the data it was happening; it was not conclusive but the evidence shift was clear in the data pattern; what had been protection from being harmed if you were jabbed was trending toward neutral in the aggregate and anecdotes suggested harm.

Well, now we have it, and yeah, it’s harm.

Note the right two columns.  They adjust for per-100,000, which is the only accurate way to do it — you must adjust raw rates for the population prevalence of the specific condition under test.

This data shows conclusively that for anyone between 40 and 79 being vaccinated makes it more-likely for you to get Covid-19.

That means what you think it does: If you took the jabs you are the plague rat; you are more-likely to get (and thus transmit) the disease than an unvaccinated person.

Britain had studiously avoided publishing the ranged data like this in their updates until now.  I don’t know why they did it this time but it doesn’t matter.  Their data continues to claim that the jabs are effective in preventing hospitalization and death but the exact opposite is true when it comes to getting Covid-19 which means those who are vaccinated may acquire personal protection but in doing so become Angels of Death to others.

If you have trouble with numerical tables here it is in bar charts:

In addition this is arguably one of the most-immune populations — or should I say allegedly immune — on the planet.  

n this report, we present the results using a 4-weekly average, of testing samples up to 27 August 2021, which takes account of the age and geographical distribution of the English population. Overall, the proportion of the population with antibodies using the Roche N and Roche S assays respectively were 18.1% and 97.7% for the period 2 August to 27 August (weeks 31 to 34) (Figure 3). This compares with 18.2% Roche N seropositivity and 97.0% Roche S seropositivity for the period of 5 July to 30 July (weeks 27 to 30).

In other words 97% of the population has either infection-acquired immunity or vaccination-acquired “alleged” immunity.  That is so close to 100% it is indistinguishable and makes clear that Biden’s actions not only won’t work they can’t because even with effectively 100% coverage Delta continues to go straight through vaccinated individual’s immunity and, as the above data shows, the vaccinated are the ones spreading the virus.  They are literal plague rats killing the unvaccinated who have not seroconverted.

Let me be perfectly-clear: The vaccines are worthless in stopping the acquisition and transmission of disease.  With nearly 100% antibody coverage if the jabs worked at all Britain would be a literal dead-end for anyone who got the virus and it would be gone there.  Cases would be as common as measles; onsie-twosie here and there.  It isn’t gone which is hard, scientific proof that the jabs do not work to stop Covid-19 from circulating in the population and this data proves that in fact it makes infection and transmission more-likely rather than less in very large swaths of the population as a whole.

The seroconversion prevalence by prior infection is very close to the NEJM numbers for the United States.  As such we can expect the same outcome here; if you are seroconverted you are safe and sterile immune but if you are vaccinated and between 40 and 79 you are not only getting Covid you are infecting and killing those who have not seroconverted via infection and in fact are driving both unvaccinated and vaccine-failure infections leading to serious disease and death.

Also, as expected young people are over-represented in having had Covid-19 and thus being presumptively immune.  In the UK for those under 30 that number stands at 27.7%, greater than one in four.  These people have no reason whatsoever to take the jabs as all they offer is personal risk.

The data is clear:

• The jabs are destroying existing immunity in that they have negative effectiveness in preventing infectionamong a wide swath of the population.  If you get (or have been) vaccinated and are between 40 and 79 you are more-likely to acquire a Covid-19 infection and thus be able to spread it than an unvaccinated individual.
  
• The jabs do appear to continue to confer protection against hospitalization and death however this must be, on a public-health basis, compared with what they do to others.  For those who cannot be vaccinated (e.g. immune compromised where the jabs will not “take”, for example) creating a mass of walking plague rats will kill those individuals at a materially higher rate.  Public health is about the aggregate impact on the population.  We made the decision to change the DTP vaccine in children to DTaP because, even though as the latter is non-sterilizing and thus occasionally caused an infant to get infected by his sibling and get very sick or die the aggregate harm was lower than that caused by the DTP vaccine across everyone, including those who needed tetanus boosters and could not get a stand-alone tetanus shot as they are not produced.
  
• The trend toward failure in preventing death is one of deterioration.  While this has not yet accelerated greatly it likely will.  This is due to two problems; the sequencing in public databanks which suggests VEI is just a matter of time and waning antibody titers over time.  These two are are very likely to combine in the months ahead and the probability of them doing so into the maw of flu season this winter is, by my estimation and previous timelines for mutation (e.g. Delta’s emergence in said databanks to it becoming prevalent) is likely odds-on.  If it happens those not previously infected but vaccinated are going to get slaughtered this winter given the above data.  If this is done intentionally by some nation that just-coincidentally doesn’t allow the vaccines that exhibit this problem as we do in in the US, the UK, Israel and similar…..

Let me point out that recombination, which is how someone with a lab would create said “oh crap!” strain, is easy.  It is one of the natural mechanisms by which new strains emerge.  For this reason and because no manual tampering with the virus is necessary to do it proving someone did it and it was a natural event when it happens will be, other than by direct capture and testimony of the persons responsible will be impossible.

There is an argument for those who are specifically-morbid, which is correlated (but not caused) by age to take the jabs.  But for those who are not morbid the data continues to show that while there is no such thing as a risk-free existence and this virus can and occasionally does get people without morbidity it almost-never kills or hospitalizes you.  Mass-vaccinating the healthy, however, winds up killing those who cannot (not by choice, but by medical necessity) take said jabs.

To be blunt: I acquired sterilizing immunity to infection by taking personal risk in that I got Covid-19.  I did not do that intentionally (that would be stupid) but I did prepare for what I considered inevitable, and it occurred.  What I did not do was put others at enhanced risk, which the data now says occurs if you are not previously infected and get jabbed for the benefit of my own protection against severe disease.  I also did not take the risk of the next mutation killing me, a risk that, if vaccinated you cannot un-do once you do it.

The evidence is clear: While we should continue to make available said jabs any form of compulsion is in fact manslaughter since there is a reasonable contingent of persons who, for medical reasons, cannot be vaccinated and thus cannot avail themselves of the option to be protected against hospitalization and death.  In non-morbid people this protection is of little value since the base rate of harm is extremely low.

To repeat: Mass-vaccinating non-morbid people kills the unable-to-be-vaccinated through intentional increase of their risk which exceeds the benefit to the non-morbid vaccinated person.  It is thus not only contrary to public health it can legitimately be considered maliciously so and thus intentional manslaughter or worse.

Joe Biden and your employer, if they go along with it, are trying to kill your immune-compromised child, mother, father or grandparent.

That’s the data and it is likely to get even worse in the weeks and months ahead.

One final thought: If you took the jabs before now, not knowing the above then it is what it is; you were deceived, told this wouldn’t happen and thus are the victim of a bunch of murderous pricks who knew damn well that there was every reason to believe this might happen due to previous attempts to create coronavirus vaccines.  As I said above if you’re materially morbid I can understand the choice, even today, although I think you’re going to seriously regret it, possibly within months.  But if you, as a non-morbid person, irrespective of age, take those jabs now whether of your own free will or a mandate you’re a five-alarm *******, a minion of the Devil, you’re willing to kill others for alleged “protection” that is statistically worth zero to you, I want nothing to do with you as you a monster and I hope you get what you deserve for doing so in this life or the next and it hurts.  That goes double if you give it to your children; they are at statistical zero risk and thus you’re intentionally killing other people and deserve to hang for it.

It Is Time To STRIKE

By Karl Denninger, The Market Ticker

The data is in folks, and the lies are collapsing.

Biden is due to unleash his “six point” plan (the latest iteration) to alleged “Beat Delta.”

You can bet it will contain more mandates.

What it won’t do is recognize these key facts, and thus will fail and will kill Americans unless he is stopped.

• Natural immunity from prior infection is 7-13x, and perhaps as much as 25x as effective as is a vaccine.  This is the data from Israel and multiple studies.  A study from Cleveland Clinic, following more than a thousand of their employees who were infected, found zero reinfections.  Think about that folks — zero so-called “breakthroughs” among previously-infected and not-vaccinated people.
  
• The CDC ITSELF has published their own data that if infected while vaccinated you are equally contagious to someone who was not vaccinated.  Further, contrary to the original claims of the CDC and vaccine makers that the vaccines reduce or eliminate symptomatic infections in virtually every case (95% of the time) they found that 79% of vaccinated people who got infected were symptomatic.  This is statistically identical to unvaccinated persons who sometimes have fully-asymptomatic infections.  If you are vaccinated and get infected you are just as likely to infect (and potentially sicken or kill) another person, vaccinated or not, as someone who is not vaccinated.  This is formally-admissible evidence in court as it is a direct publication of the CDC!  The CDC has admitted, in print, that there is no public-health benefit from the vaccines.
  
• The vaccines are failures.  This should not surprise as every previous coronavirus vaccine attempt also failed.  Yes, they may provide personal protection against serious outcomes for a few months.  The original trials may have been rigged to show that.  The manufacturers deliberately set the dose to produce antibody levels much higher than natural infection.  Why would you do that when, as with any drug, the higher the dose the greater the adverse effects?  The logical reason is that you knew you had to keep protection levels adequate for the four months of the trial and then you intended to unblind the study which immediately destroys the ability to follow up and assess the effect of the vaccine over longer periods of time.  Both Moderna and Pfizer did exactly that and the FDA let them.  Do not be deceived by outright lies in the media; if you don’t know someone who’s fully-vaccinated and got laid out flat on their back or killed by Covid-19, you will.  In Texas at a monoclonal antibody infusion center (where you go if infected and at high risk) the case rate between vaccinated and unvaccinated is statistically identical to Texas’ vaccination rate.  At Duke University where everyone must be vaccinated this year there have been multiple outbreaks.  Cornell has a five times higher case rate now, with everyone vaccinated by mandate, than they did last fall.  There are multiple such examples and they prove the vaccines rapidly become at best worthless.  A “mandate” is thus a demand that you the take the risk of serious injury or death for no reason other than political demand. 
  
• JAMA, the official journal of the American Medical Association, has published proof that the vaccines are at best failures and at worst may be enhancing Covid-19 infections.Specifically, they published a study from blood donations showing the presence of alleged immunity in 83.3% of Americans.  This is sufficient to suppress any virus with an R0 of up to just under 6, and obviously since May it has only climbed.  They did differentiate between antibodies from infection and vaccination, which we can do in this case due to the design of the vaccines.  This study found 20% of Americans have had Covid-19 and are presumptively immune; the balance was from vaccination.  The problem is that if the vaccines worked the summer spike we have seen was impossible, yet it happened.  This is hard proof the vaccines do not work over time; you have taken the risk of serious adverse events up to and including death for a benefit that lasts no more than six months.

Biden will, later today, deny once again that natural infection protects you.  Yet we know, scientifically, it does and about a quarter of the population has had Covid-19.  JAMA has so-proved that 20% of America was immune by natural infection in May of 2021 and obviously the percentage has increased since then.  The CDC claimed (and still does) there were four infections at the lower boundary of their scenarios (e.g. you never went to the doctor or were tested, thus there’s no record) for each Covid-19 infection that they know about.  If the PCR+ tested people all actually had Covid-19 this would have resulted in a 40-50% positive read by JAMA for previous infected and it did not.  Since there is no reason to believe the number of “low symptom or silent” infections is in fact lower than 4:1 (anecdotally — myself, my daughter and my girlfriend all got Covid the first few days of August, we all survived and none of us went to the doctor, hospital or were tested; this is likely quite ordinary) the only reasonable explanation is that a huge percentage of the alleged “PCR+” people never had it.  Elon Musk demonstrated that these tests are horrible back in October of last year when he took four rapid tests in sequence and got two positive and two negative results — no better than a coin flip.

If half the people claimed to have “had it” really didn’t, but were screwed with quarantine orders and similar, the math from the JAMA study works resulting in 20% immune by infection as of May, and about 25% or perhaps even higher now.

Folks, one quarter, approximately, of the population of the United States has had Covid-19 and has no reason to wear a mask, take a jab, or take any other precaution unless, among that group, you are one of the very few — 1 in a thousand — who has a materially-compromised immune system but beat the infection anyway.  If you’re in that group then any infection can kill you and might — including the common flu.

The three key points that the Biden administration and everyone else, including employers, must be forced to recognize and adjust policy to address, are:

• If you have previously been infected — actually infected, not claimed positive by a PCR+ test (e.g. you got distinctively ill and/or have a positive antibody test post-infection) you are presumptively sterile immune to a degree superior to any vaccine.  Not only is there no benefit to you being jabbed but plenty of risk there is the possibility, as is discussed in this paper, that being jabbed may destroy some element of your existing immunity and place you at severe risk of injury or death from other viruses.  Fully one quarter of the American population is in this position.  Among health-care workers the percentage is almost-certainly higher as they labored for roughly a year in direct contact with Covid-19 positive people and, in many cases, known-ineffective (less than an N95) PPE and got infected.  Exactly zero of the previously-infected has any reason to take any of these shots nor wear a mask or otherwise employ “defensive” measures against Covid-19 as every such person is presumptively safe not only against infection but against potentially infecting others.  We must demand OTC, “use in home” access to the existing antibody tests so anyone who had a claimed infection can verify it themselves, in private, and know if they are presumptively safe.  These tests are available now and there is no reason you should not be able to buy one just as people buy pregnancy tests every single day.
  
• If you have not been previously infected then the jabs provide only personal and fleeting protection. We do not know whether or not the risks associated with getting repeatedly jabbed escalate with each successive jab, whether if you do not get adversely impacted you are “safe”, or if something in the middle happens.  You are betting your life that the adverse event rate curve is not exponential and yet there is quite-strong evidence from the first two jabs that it might be.  This must be a personal choice without coercion as if the jabs also degrade existing immunity, and there is emerging evidence they might, you could literally screw yourself into a coffin.
  
• Like it or not we are all eventually going to get Covid-19 and it would be wise to prepare for that before it happens. I said this back in March and April of 2020 and have never wavered from that point.  It remains true.  The correct action, and the only action, is to support immediate treatment upon detection of infection so as to keep people out of the hospital.  Do we have known effective treatments “by the NIH standards” today?  No.  But we have believed ones that are safe, and Americans must be offered the choice on a nationally-mandated basis.  “Right to Try” mandates nothing less since the medical system has nothing approved on offer.  We either take this position or many more people will die.

IF BIDEN DOES NOT, and you know he won’t today, take the three points above as policy then those of us in the health care system and elsewhere who are in that 25% of America that has strong, natural immunity must STRIKE.  We were all sold a bill of LIES in America and elsewhere and the data is irrefutable.  Israel and the UK are being overrun with serious and fatal cases of Covid-19 despite being very highly vaccinated.  The claim that this is all “unvaccinated” people is a lie.

WE MUST SHUT EVERY HOSPITAL DOWN TONIGHT UNTIL BIDEN STOPS THE MASS-SLAUGHTER.

THAT STRIKE MUST BEGIN TONIGHT AND CONTINUE UNTIL THE POLICIES ARE REVERSED.

WE, the people, have ALL the power.  One quarter of the public GOING ON STRIKE will decimate the economy, the markets and every industry across the United States.  It will also INSTANTLY force closed EVERY hospital.

The administration will have NO CHOICE but to capitulate to the American people and STOP the death.

If you don’t do it, America — especially if you’re a health-care worker — every single death after tonight is on your hands.

• Natural immunity from prior infection is 7-13x, and perhaps as much as 25x as effective as is a vaccine.  This is the data from Israel and multiple studies.  A study from Cleveland Clinic, following more than a thousand of their employees who were infected, found zero reinfections.  Think about that folks — zero so-called “breakthroughs” among previously-infected and not-vaccinated people.

Biden will, later today, deny once again that natural infection protects you.  Yet we know, scientifically, it does and about a quarter of the population has had Covid-19.  JAMA has so-proved that 20% of America was immune by natural infection in May of 2021 and obviously the percentage has increased since then.  The CDC claimed (and still does) there were four infections at the lower boundary of their scenarios (e.g. you never went to the doctor or were tested, thus there’s no record) for each Covid-19 infection that they know about.  If the PCR+ tested people all actually had Covid-19 this would have resulted in a 40-50% positive read by JAMA for previous infected and it did not.  Since there is no reason to believe the number of “low symptom or silent” infections is in fact lower than 4:1 (anecdotally — myself, my daughter and my girlfriend all got Covid the first few days of August, we all survived and none of us went to the doctor, hospital or were tested; this is likely quite ordinary) the only reasonable explanation is that a huge percentage of the alleged “PCR+” people never had it.  Elon Musk demonstrated that these tests are horrible back in October of last year when he took four rapid tests in sequence and got two positive and two negative results — no better than a coin flip.

If half the people claimed to have “had it” really didn’t, but were screwed with quarantine orders and similar, the math from the JAMA study works resulting in 20% immune by infection as of May, and about 25% or perhaps even higher now.

Folks, one quarter, approximately, of the population of the United States has had Covid-19 and has no reason to wear a mask, take a jab, or take any other precaution unless, among that group, you are one of the very few — 1 in a thousand — who has a materially-compromised immune system but beat the infection anyway.  If you’re in that group then any infection can kill you and might — including the common flu.

The three key points that the Biden administration and everyone else, including employers, must be forced to recognize and adjust policy to address, are:

• If you have previously been infected — actually infected, not claimed positive by a PCR+ test (e.g. you got distinctively ill and/or have a positive antibody test post-infection) you are presumptively sterile immune to a degree superior to any vaccine.  Not only is there no benefit to you being jabbed but plenty of risk there is the possibility, as is discussed in this paper, that being jabbed may destroy some element of your existing immunity and place you at severe risk of injury or death from other viruses.  Fully one quarter of the American population is in this position.  Among health-care workers the percentage is almost-certainly higher as they labored for roughly a year in direct contact with Covid-19 positive people and, in many cases, known-ineffective (less than an N95) PPE and got infected.  Exactly zero of the previously-infected has any reason to take any of these shots nor wear a mask or otherwise employ “defensive” measures against Covid-19 as every such person is presumptively safe not only against infection but against potentially infecting others.  We must demand OTC, “use in home” access to the existing antibody tests so anyone who had a claimed infection can verify it themselves, in private, and know if they are presumptively safe.  These tests are available now and there is no reason you should not be able to buy one just as people buy pregnancy tests every single day.
  
• If you have not been previously infected then the jabs provide only personal and fleeting protection. We do not know whether or not the risks associated with getting repeatedly jabbed escalate with each successive jab, whether if you do not get adversely impacted you are “safe”, or if something in the middle happens.  You are betting your life that the adverse event rate curve is not exponential and yet there is quite-strong evidence from the first two jabs that it might be.  This must be a personal choice without coercion as if the jabs also degrade existing immunity, and there is emerging evidence they might, you could literally screw yourself into a coffin.
  
• Like it or not we are all eventually going to get Covid-19 and it would be wise to prepare for that before it happens. I said this back in March and April of 2020 and have never wavered from that point.  It remains true.  The correct action, and the only action, is to support immediate treatment upon detection of infection so as to keep people out of the hospital.  Do we have known effective treatments “by the NIH standards” today?  No.  But we have believed ones that are safe, and Americans must be offered the choice on a nationally-mandated basis.  “Right to Try” mandates nothing less since the medical system has nothing approved on offer.  We either take this position or many more people will die.

IF BIDEN DOES NOT, and you know he won’t today, take the three points above as policy then those of us in the health care system and elsewhere who are in that 25% of America that has strong, natural immunity must STRIKE.  We were all sold a bill of LIES in America and elsewhere and the data is irrefutable.  Israel and the UK are being overrun with serious and fatal cases of Covid-19 despite being very highly vaccinated.  The claim that this is all “unvaccinated” people is a lie.

WE MUST SHUT EVERY HOSPITAL DOWN TONIGHT UNTIL BIDEN STOPS THE MASS-SLAUGHTER.

THAT STRIKE MUST BEGIN TONIGHT AND CONTINUE UNTIL THE POLICIES ARE REVERSED.

WE, the people, have ALL the power.  One quarter of the public GOING ON STRIKE will decimate the economy, the markets and every industry across the United States.  It will also INSTANTLY force closed EVERY hospital.

The administration will have NO CHOICE but to capitulate to the American people and STOP the death.

If you don’t do it, America — especially if you’re a health-care worker — every single death after tonight is on your hands.

The Lie Of ‘All Unvaccinated’

By Karl Denninger, The Market Ticker

Here’s truth folks….

Remember, you get monoclonal antibodies if infected, symptomatic and at risk of severe outcomes.  When I got Covid-19 last month I did not qualify since I was not any of >65 (58 isn’t good enough), fat, diabetic, hypertensive or one of the few other listed “things” that quality you irrespective of age.  I did not get vaccinated, I got Covid-19 and recovered, obviously, or I wouldn’t be writing this, and now have very strong natural immunity.  At this point I thus have neither any fear of Covid-19 or any reason to be vaccinated.

Got that folks?

The 23 people were all promised they would not get sick as the inducement to get vaccinated.  All 23 of them were symptomatic and at high risk.  Every single one of those people was also exactly as contagious to others as were the 27.

48% of Texas is vaccinated.

46% of these recipients were vaccinated.

There is no statistical difference between the percentage of vaccinated people in the State of Texas and the percentage of people receiving monoclonal antibodies for symptomatic and at-risk-of-severe Covid-19 patients among this group of 50 who are vaccinated.  It is statistically identical.

The debate is over folks.

You were conned America.  You were told to roll up your sleeve and take the risk of clotting disorders, heart damage, heart attacks, strokes and other serious, even life-threatening adverse reactions based on the lie that doing so would (1) prevent you from getting Covid, (2) prevent you from infecting others with Covid, and (3) keep you from having a symptomatic and potentially-serious outcome if exposed to Covid.

All three were LIES and are being repeated to this day by Biden, Fauci, the CDC and your local and State Health Departments.  Any “mandate” predicated on these lies was and is in fact a felony assault with a reasonable expectation of serious bodily harm or death to your person and should have been, and should be today, met with whatever level of force is necessary to cause the person issuing said mandate to STOP on an immediate basis.

THE VACCINES DO NOT PREVENT INFECTION, TRANSMISSION OR THE RISK OF SEVERE OUTCOMES.

ENOUGH!

PS: Before you do something stupid like get a “booster” answer this — why would you believe the third jab will work when you were told the other two would — and the people doing so lied?  When, in addition, there is evidence that the manufacturers knew this would happen and rigged the trials to conceal it?  What data do you have (none!) on whether the risk of serious adverse events rises with each successive injection, if it does by how much (what if it’s exponentially worse?) and why would you be so stupid as to believe a single thing these people say after being screwed by the very same people? I remind you: Never in the past has there been a successful vaccine for coronaviruses.  All previous attempts have failed during trials, which took years to discover, either by mutational escape or worse, enhancement in those who got the injection(s).  Don’t throw your life away.

PPS: Note that there is now emerging evidence of ADE, VEI and/or OAS from the vaccines exactly as has occurred with all other attempts to vaccinate against coronaviruses.  And no, it doesn’t have to be Covid-19 that triggers it either; any other beta coronavirus can plausibly do so.  One of them, OC43, circulates in the population and usually causes mild colds.  Not this time — it sent the person who got it to the hospital and nearly killed them.  Was the vaccine responsible for that?  It might have been and if it got this person it could also get YOU.  There are already cases being reported in the US where the person is vaccinated, presents to the ER with what looks like severe Covid-19 (including the specific markers for Covid such as ground-glass infiltrates in the lungs on X-ray or CT) but repeatedly tests negative.  Here it comes folks….

* VEI – Vaccine-enhanced infection.  Encompasses ADE from vaccines and OAS, along with other related mechanisms such as destruction of existing B-cell recognition.  ADE is a very-specific term and may not be the mechanism by which this is occurring; that has not been determined.

Where Are The Handcuffs?

By Karl Denninger, The Market Ticker

Gee, you think the obvious I pointed out a long time ago — that the double-amine coding in Sars-Cov2 was both a marker commonly used in virology research and had a zero probability of being naturally-occurring in bats because it is not a coding preferred for that amino acid in bats, and thus would not result in an infective virus in said bats, marked the virus as almost-certainly manipulated in a lab?

NEWLY RELEASED documents provide details of U.S.-funded research on several types of coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. The Intercept has obtained more than nine hundred pages of documents detailing the work of the EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based health organization that used federal money to fund bat coronavirus research at the Chinese laboratory. The trove of documents includes two previously unpublished grant proposals that were funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as well as project updates relating to the EcoHealth Alliance’s research, which has been scrutinized amid increased interest in the origins of the pandemic.

It appears, does it not, that Fauci lied.  Both he and his wife, Christine Grady, who chairs bioethics at the NIH and who “conveniently” has been ignored by the media and everyone else, and who, it must be presumed, any grant proposals would have to go through and be approved by, ought to be in irons right now.

And by the way, exactly how does it happen that in a federal agency a person’s wife winds up in a position to review and formally approve her husband’s work?

Exactly how did that situation arise and why has it been allowed to continue to exist for a very, very long time?  Why weren’t both those *******s driven out of the NIH years ago for what was an obvious intentionally-installed conflict of interest and, since this organization was dealing with things like bat viruses, a potential cause of a global pandemic if and when said conflict wound up approving something that should have been denied and immediately exposed to the public as a intentionally-dangerous act that was blocked?

Why is nobody looking into this?  Why hasn’t it been investigated?

Did it happen?  We don’t know.  It is a reasonably hypothesis, is it not?

Gee, don’t think those are important questions that deserve answers, especially when it turns out that Fauci has repeatedly maintained, both in public and in sworn testimony before Congress that absolutely no “gain of function” research was in fact funded by the NIH under his direction and approval — and that of his wife?

From JAMA: Proof They’re AT BEST Worthless

By Karl Denninger, The Market Ticker

I hate being right, and it’s even nastier when a peer-reviewed medical journal publishes proof without realizing what they’re doing, and thus doesn’t make a recommendation based on the data they present.

Findings  In this repeated cross-sectional study that included 1 443 519 blood donation specimens from a catchment area representing 74% of the US population, estimated SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence weighted for differences between the study sample and general population increased from 3.5% in July 2020 to 20.2% for infection-induced antibodies and 83.3% for combined infection- and vaccine-induced antibodies in May 2021. 

Remember the basic rule of epidemics: Herd suppression begins to bend the curve of infection at about 1/2 of the actual suppression number and widespread epidemic spread is mathematically impossible when you reach that number.

That doesn’t mean a light switch is thrown and nobody gets sick.  It means the outbreaks are spotty and of no major consequence because they don’t go beyond the concentrated places where immunity does not exist.

The basic formula for herd suppression is 1 – 1/R0.

Therefore at 83.3% total immunity as of May 2021 a virus with a given R0 can be computed.

.83 = 1 – (1/R0)

In other words a virus with an R0 of 5.88 or less is suppressed.

That’s well beyond the necessary level to suppress Covid-19.

But it didn’t, did it?  Since May we’ve seen a serious outbreak and screaming from everyone.

We know natural immunity works because every study of persons previously infected, where said previous infection was documented by more than PCR test, that is, medical certainty and not a BS, flawed test has shown that an effective zero persons get re-infected and, there is no evidence said persons can spread the disease either.

Non-sterilizing vaccines do not suppress anything; if you can still get and spread the virus, and we now know that is true despite the claims of the lying media, the CDC, NIH, Fauci and everyone else originally back to December and January when those false claims were used to CON people into taking jabs then until and unless you actually acquire an infection and build natural protection spread does not stop because you are not part of the herd that suppresses spread.

The JAMA study now proves that:

• The jabs are worthless to inhibit the spread of Covid-19.  The legal, ethical and moral arguments for “forced vaccination” are now dust.  The anecdotal evidence from places like Cornell, which is taking a case rate five times that of last year despite near 100% vaccination rates, are now converted into hard, irrefutable science.  The debate on “passports”, “digital certificates” and demands by employers and others to get jabbed is over.  JAMA has proved that the jabs do exactly nothing to prevent the spread of disease.
  
• If you are jabbed you are just as likely, if not more-likely, to give the virus to others.  This is particularly important if the “others” are seriously medically-compromised (e.g. elderly and morbid, immune-suppressed, etc.) and take no precautions because they believe they’re safe around you.  The reason you may be more-likely to spread the virus to others is that if the jab suppresses your symptoms you will not know you’re sick, and thus you will have no reason to limit contact with others.  This makes the jabbed literal Typhoid Marys; an un-jabbed person who feels ill will (unless they’re psychotic) self-isolate to the extent it is practical, even without a quarantine order.
  
• The insistence of jabs in medical settings is now, on the science, converted from “will protect patients” to will, with scientific certainty, screw unvaccinated patients, some of whom cannot be vaccinated and thus now constitutes gross negligence and depraved indifference to human life.  Since we know that prior infection in fact confers sterilizing immunity the only rational act for health care providers dealing with high-risk patients who either cannot be vaccinated or show no sufficient immune response is to only allow convalescent, recovered health-care workers to care for them because they are the only sterile immune individuals.  To do anything else, when there is a sizeable reservoir of said persons in the community (one in five, and almost-certainly much higher as medical personnel were exposed preferentially for the last 18 months) is voluntary manslaughter or even Murder 2.

In addition the JAMA data suggests (but does not prove) that VEI (vaccine-enhanced infection) is occurring.  That is, the symptomatic and serious infections in vaccinated people may be cases where the vaccine made the infection more-serious.  That, by the way, is exactly what every other coronavirus vaccine attempt has ended in over the decades.  We, in our arrogance, believed that foregoing the several years required to make sure that ordinary mutational patterns would not lead to the same result didn’t need to take place and a short, four month trial was sufficient.  We’re now finding out that it wasn’t after putting that risk in the arms of roughly 200 million Americans.  That was stupid.

The data is what it is.  You cannot argue with mathematics folks, and while JAMA apparently does not realize what they published and proved, they nonetheless did exactly that.  Not only did they do so the number of samples involved (nearly 1.5 million) gives excellent statistical power and a very narrow confidence band that spans less than 1% of those with said resistance.

Yet despite that fact and data, and after the cut-off date for this study’s data in May the spike we took this summer did happen which, unfortunately for all the madhouse screamers at the CDC, State Departments of Health, the NIH and the Biden Administration proves, with scientific certainty, that the vaccines are worthless in interdicting both the acquisition and transmission of Covid-19, as otherwise given this prevalence as of May of 2021 the spike in infections this summer could not have occurred.

The debate is over folks.

The slaughter must end and end now; the data from JAMA is irrefutable.

Slowly But Surely, The Stupid Is Failing

By Karl Denninger, The Market Ticker

It is slowly dawning on all the different entities, including health care, that if they actually try to enforce jab mandates they’re going to be screwed.  Some of this is very visible already if you know where to look.  Hospitals report “staffed and available” ICU (and regular) beds.  For a bed to be usable legally-mandated staffing levels must be present.  Beds don’t “disappear” in a hospital; you don’t make the building larger or smaller, do you?

Nope — it’s all about staff levels.

Well?

There has already been a contraction — and the mandates aren’t, for the most part, in effect yet.  In a few places they’ve fired people.  In others they’re threatening to.  The problem, beyond being sued and losing, is that they can’t actually make good on the threats without immediately detonating any chance of being able to help the poor bastard who has a heart attack a week later — and people are already leaving over these demands.

Witness what just happened in Chicago.  Lightfoot mandated jabs for everyone in the schools; a large number of bus drivers quit.  Now what?  No school bus for your kids, that’s what!  The city is claiming Uber and Lyft will be provided; uh huh, good luck there because, guess what — neither mandates their drivers be jabbed!

And don’t kid yourself — those arguing that Jacobson, a USSC decision centering on smallpox from 1905, a disease with a 30% fatality rate, are flat-out wrong on several levels.

First, in Jacobson the only penalty for refusal was a one time $5 fine.  Today that’s about $150.  The scope of the penalty often informs the constitutionality of the action; that which mandates your execution is subject to a greater level of scrutiny than a traffic ticket, which is approximately what the level of the dispute involved in Jacobson was.

Second, in Jacobson the refuser was criminally prosecuted and convicted; in other words he did not get a summary judgement via extra-judicial or private process, he was first tried and convicted in a court of law where he could and did present all of his evidence and experts; he lost in a judicial proceeding.  Exactly zero of the current mandates have included any such due-process protection on a collective — say much less individualized — basis.

But leaving aside the USSC’s decision to refuse to hear cases thus far, or Jacobson at all, a take the jab or be fired mandate, if met with the middle finger by any material percentage of the workforce, instantly cripples or even bankrupts the firm in question.  If that firm is in Health Care they are liable for this, as no part of the PREP Act or any other act of the legislature I can find provides any immunity for self-inflicted destruction of their ability to provide care.

Indeed, in many states “CON” laws forbid reducing or increasing medical capacity without review of an appointed board and as such a deliberate action by a health care provider to fire staff and, by doing so, reducing capacity is actually illegal.

Now I’ve argued for a long time that CON laws are stupid, they serve to reduce competition, they are arguably felonious to the extent any private party is involved in them (the government can collude and otherwise violate 15 USC on its own without breaking the law but no private party can without an explicit statutory exemption) but the fact remains that such laws exist in many states and are enforceable and they constrain both increases and reductions in medical system — including hospital — capacity.

Next up is the last 18 months of history when it comes to various so-called “essential” employees.  A huge percentage have had Covid-19.  They were essentially compelled to risk exposure on a daily basis, especially in the medical system, and an enormous percentage of them got infected — and lived.  Having done so they are presumptively immune.  The data is that previous infection is thirteen times as effective in preventing a second infection as a vaccine is at preventing the first one.  There is no reason for them to take any precaution at all; their risk of contracting or spreading the disease is a statistical zero.  This is clearly not true for vaccinated people who, we have learned, are just as contagious as an unvaccinated person if they get infected and, as time goes on, the vaccine wears off or is evaded by the virus (both of which, I remind you, were utterly predictable from our experience attempting vaccination against other coronaviruses) but there is no evidence that prior infection wears off to any material degree over the time we have had to look at it since this virus first appeared.

I challenge those who think infected and recovered people should take a jab, wear a mask or otherwise take any protective step with regard to Covid-19: Produce your evidence that what you propose has any statistically valid benefit to others or even, for that matter, to the individual in question.

There is none.

As for those who have not been infected the data on personal risk allocation is less-clear.  Certainly, Covid-19 can seriously injure or kill you.  But, since we now know the vaccines neither prevent infection or passing the virus on to others, and have a wildly higher hazard rate than any of the other commonly-used vaccines the equation is now entirely personal.  That is, there is no social or employment and customer-related benefit to be had and thus we are now talking about the same classification of personal choice as is packing on that extra 100lbs or choosing to engage in anal sex, both of which are personally dangerous but do not impact other, non-consenting people except, perhaps, by consuming medical system resources someone else might want or need.

What’s even worse is that the so-called rare “breakthrough infections” are anything but rare and they’re landing people in the hospital too.  Oscar De La Hoya anyone?  Can anyone argue that’s not a man in excellent physical condition?  He was vaccinated and yet… in the hospital with Covid.  Or Jesse Jackson — vaccinated, wound up in the hospital with Covid.  The claim that this is now a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” is flat-out bull****; oh sure, maybe it was true in January, but it isn’t now.  Either the vaccines quickly lose their potency, the virus has evolved to evade them and made them near-worthless, or both.

How about Cornell?  95% vaccination rate with a mandate and they have taken five times the cases of last year.  It took a literal three weeks for the pronouncements of the administration to blow up in their face.  How could you possibly call that anything other than “worthless” and when does the administration that put said policy in place, and put every student at risk for no benefit get run out of town on a rail after being asset-stripped to their underwear and blackballed so they can’t even get a job spinning pizzas — ever.

What has remained constant is lifestyle decisions you personally made and continue to make each day.

Indeed, the data is that being morbidly obese puts 60% or more on your risk of hospitalization or death from Covid-19.  Since every single person who is morbidly obese willingly put every item of food and beverage down their own throat should we not hold them accountable for the load they are now placing on the medical system, especially since we knew this in early 2020 and they willingly and intentionally remained obese rather than lose the weight in the intervening 18 months?

If I have a right to be fat (and not be discriminated against on the basis of being fat) then I have a right to be unvaccinated against this virus since neither being not-fat or vaccinated confers a health benefit to others; any benefit, such as may exist, is mine and mine alone.

Never mind the facts on the risk of hospitalization (or worse) if you get Covid-19.  The media and government fear porn has led to stunning stupidity among the public in this regard.  The majority of all persons, whether Democrat, Republican or Independent, believe your risk of winding up in the hospital is 20% or more, and a plurality of all groups believe it is 50% or higher.  The true risk?  1-5%, depending on your personal medical status.

Our government and media has deliberately generated an aura of fear that has caused everyone to believe their risk is ten to fifty times what is true when it comes to this disease.

If you think this is some sort of esoteric argument, or it will not matter when this finds its way into court you’re dead wrong.  The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that bodily autonomy is sacrosanct.  As just one example you have every right to screw another man in the ass so long as you both are adults and consent, which is why the laws related to such sexual practices across the United States in any public accommodation, housing, employment and similar have been progressively, over the last decades, struck down as unconstitutional.  Indeed just last year firing someone for being gay become formally illegal.  In short the USSC has, on a consistent basis over the last hundred years, ruled that what you choose in terms of personal risk as a consenting adult is nobody else’s damned business and absent hard, scientific proof that someone else is harmed you are on extremely thin ice legally with an attempt to discriminate on any such basis.  The legal record is very clear in this regard; that which used to be able to be proscribed 100 years ago as “immoral” or “dangerous” for a particular person has been repeatedly and almost without exception greatly narrowed as the USSC has considered various cases before it.

I remind you that at the time of Jacobson the Court saw such things very differently and personal choice was much less-respected than it is today.  Around the same time as Jacobson, for example, the state legislature of Oregon passed a law allowing forced sterilization of “sexual perverts” — aimed straight at homosexuals and the feeble-minded.  Oregon was not alone in passing and enforcing these laws.  Do you really think jabbing people was a big deal to the Supremes while the State of Oregon was cutting off people’s balls due to their sexual preference?

Do you think the Judge in Chicago did not take all of this into consideration when he reversed his former ruling that an unvaccinated mother by virtue of refusal lost her rights as a parent?  I’d like to see the history on exactly why he originally thought that was a good idea, and if perhaps a little off-the-record urging was involved.  Family courts are known for hair-raising rulings and such off-the-record games but this one got reversed awfully-quickly, didn’t it?  Perhaps the light went on in his head — since the jabs do not produce sterilizing immunity to the virus and do not interrupt transmission his ruling was that one can be dispossessed of their civil rights for a personal medical, social or political decision with the boundary of impact encompassing nobody but herself.  It was likely wise to walk away from that voluntarily before he got slapped in the face on appeal.

One cannot be socially liberal in terms of what two or more adults do in their own bedroom and stand for a vaccine mandate when the vaccine in question does not prevent harboring or transmitting the disease to others.  If it did you might have a point, but it doesn’t.  None of the current jabs do.  We were all lied to about that although I did point out that it was a lie at the time because the trials were never designed to prove that, and thus to claim they actually prevented disease and transmission was nothing more than speculative bull**** issued from a government mouthpiece — and act that endangered the public because it led people to believe that for which there was no evidence and worse, caused people who could not be vaccinated (e.g. due to immune system compromise) to believe they were safe in the company of vaccinated individuals when in fact they gained no element of personal safety whatsoever.  Some of them have found this out the hard way over the last six months, having relied on that lie, and now are dead.

Further, to refuse to recognize natural immunity when, on the science, it is superior to the vaccines and does produce sterilizing immunity tags your position as not only punitive and without scientific merit it tags you as a monster worthy of expulsion and extinction of your entire family line as the next group to be targeted with such a punitive, non-scientific measure is likely to be some other non-favored political or social group.

This is exactly what those who targeted gay people for decades did, and exactly what the Taliban and Iran have done in throwing said gay people off buildings because of who they choose to sleep with and love.  And, I remind you, anything of that nature has explicitly been ruled unconstitutional in the context of employment, public accommodation or any other business endeavor.

If you support such mandates or act in any way to promote or enforce them then you are a member of the “God Hates Fags” group — you’re just picking on a different set of people.  Your position is no more defensible than theirs; indeed it is less-so since their advocacy was limited to waving signs where you demand that others lose their civil rights and liberties, means of earning a living and access to everyday life.

America was founded on the principle of individual choice and liberty.  There are indeed just boundaries on individual liberty when it comes to actions that, on actual science, put other people at unreasonable or unconscionable risk.  We prohibit driving while intoxicated for this reason, and provided you can scientifically defend the state of intoxication that presents unreasonable risk, this is within the government’s power to do.  But it is perfectly legal to get ****-faced in the company of other adults within the confines of your own property, so long as you don’t project anything beyond its boundaries while in an inebriated state, since nobody but the willing are in danger from those doing so.

When the science by the admission of the government, and thus not subject to dispute, is that the claimed “compelled action” has no benefit in reducing risk to others and, to the extent benefit exists it is entirely personal then there is simply no argument one can make that a mandate passes muster at any level.

Not ethical, not moral and not legal either.  That CDC document is admissible evidence folks, and its conclusive.  It is the official position of the US Federal Government’s alleged “disease control” experts.  They published it of their own free volition.

We had no right to stop gay men from deciding to have sex with each other even when there was no treatment or prophylaxis for HIV/AIDS.  We had no duty to promote same, but we also had no right to banish such persons from ordinary commerce and daily life because they put themselves at risk of a deadly disease.  Many of them decided to do so and died yet exactly nobody demanded that if you were gay and male you couldn’t go watch a Broadway show, be a fireman or work in a school.  Yes, there were people who argued that but they were bigots just as those arguing for mandates are now, and ultimately they lost in court and, in some cases, were found legally responsible for damages that resulted from their conduct.

That’s not because HIV/AIDS wasn’t serious — for those who got it and died it sure as hell was, and for Mental Midget Fauci who argued against using Bactrim in those people he helped shoved 30,000 of them into the hole while waiting for his “controlled trials” which, incidentally, never came — all while pushing his “favored” drug, AZT, which in fact failed to save the life of a single person who got infected with HIV.

The reason it’s nobody else’s damned business is because said gay person didn’t infect anyone else, statistically-speaking, who didn’t choose to accept the risk.  Oh sure, they might cut their finger or suffer a nosebleed in a public bathroom and that blood could infect someone else, but statistically there was no change.

The same applies here; the vaccines do nothing to change the risk to others.  Whether vaccinated or not the risk to others is the same.  In fact by attenuating symptoms you might actually be more likely to spread the virus if vaccinated since if you do not feel ill, and thus have no reason to believe you’re infected you are more-likely to socialize and spread the virus to others.  The original claim that the vaccines prevented such risk has now been proved to be false by the government’s own admission; there was never any scientific evidence that this was the case as the trials were not set up to show that, and as time has gone on we have discovered that in fact there is no protection for others; all the vaccines confer is a waning and uncertain degree of personal protection.

If your boss mandates jabs he is a bigot exactly as is someone who plays “God Hates Fags.”  He’s also on the wrong side of science, facts and, ultimately I predict, the law.  The Government’s own experts have already admitted that there is no public benefit to these vaccines as they prevent neither infection or transmission and the moment they did that they voided all “benefit to the public” arguments by their own hand.

That should and indeed must be the end of all discussion of “mandates” and if it isn’t then may every entity issuing such a mandate along with all of their directors, officers and managers be destroyed, both corporately and personally, for what is nothing more than attempt at punitive action for political purpose with no public benefit whatsoever and which violate the basic principle of bodily autonomy and personal self-determination upon which all civil rights rest.

Statistical Abuse And Flat-out Lying

By Karl Denninger, The Market Ticker

This is the sort of statistical abuse that ought to get any entity that pulls it burnt to the ground, especially during a pandemic when it is used as an advocacy tool for a dangerous intervention that produces little better than “flip-a-coin” outcomes.

The dramatic change in vaccine effectiveness from June to July is likely to be due to both the emergence of the delta variant and waning immunity over time, compounded by the end of masking requirements in California and the resulting greater risk of exposure in the community. 

The second part of that sentence is absolute BS.

You either ARE or you ARE NOT immune to a given virus.  There is no middle ground; the question is binary.

If you are immune then no amount of PPE is required.  I will, right now, sporting natural immunity, walk into a Covid-19 ICU without any PPE on and sit there and observe for 30 minutes.  I will do without fear because I am presumptively immune from the virus as a result of previous exposure, infection and recovery.

Anyone who believes the vaccines work is welcome to come with me on the same terms: 30 minutes in the ICU, no PPE.

If you believe you are immune due to vaccination then you should be perfectly willing to do this without a shred of fear that you will, in fact, get Covid-19.  You’re immune, or so you were told.  That’s the point of vaccination; you make you impervious to a given disease.  Yes, in some very tiny percentage of persons, nearly every time as a result of being immune-compromised, the vaccination fails to elicit an immune response.  But — assuming you are not immune compromised then there is absolutely no reason on God’s Green Earth for you to fear the virus if you have taken the jabs and the appropriate 2 weeks has passed since the second one.

If you do not believe this to be true then you wasted your time and worse, took the risk of severe adverse effects from the jab for no purpose.  You gained nothing either physically or mentally from said jabs.  You have no faith in your course of action.

As it turns out there’s damn good reason to not have faith since the table in that article discloses that in July 75.2% of cases, all symptomatic, were in fully-vaccinated workers.  The workforce was 83.1% fully-vaccinatedat that time.  There was only one death and thus statistically the power to prevent death was undetermined.

It is reasonable to believe that zero of said workers are in fact seriously immune-compromised since being so would make working in a health-care setting, with sick people all around you on a daily basis, a literal suicidal act.

Now if the vaccine was completely worthless then 83.1% of cases would be in vaccinated persons and 16.9% in unvaccinated persons, since that would be the ratable portion.  If the vaccine was 100% effective then 100% of the cases would be in unvaccinated persons and, of course, zero in vaccinated individuals.

Would I, given this data, go into a Covid-19 ICU while vaccinated?  Absolutely not; statistically speaking there is utterly no reason to believe I am protected.  I expect to see 16.9% of cases in the unvaccinated but in fact see 24.8%; while that does indeed imply some protection it’s not much better than flipping a coin.

Is that what you signed up for when you took the jabs America?  Will you abide a mandate when it is now proved you don’t actually get the protection you were promised?

I would hope not.

These results are definitely not what you were sold by the CDC, Fauci, Trump, Biden, your State Health Department and all the advertising on the TeeVee and social media.  You were sold nearly 100% effectiveness sufficient to remove your fear of getting Covid-19.  What you actually got is more akin to what you get out of the flu shot if you take it each year: Some attenuation of risk but, in many cases, absolutely nothing of value.

The difference is that unlike the flu shot that rarely harms anyone beyond a sore arm for a day or two (last year’s flu shot campaign, which delivered about 170 million doses, recorded 26 associated deaths) VAERS says that 13,627 deaths and nearly 56,000 hospitalizations have been associated with these jabs — thus far.

In other words on a reasonable “back of the envelope” analysis the Covid-19 jabs are close to 500 times more-likely to kill you than the flu shot is and have no better record in preventing you from getting Covid-19 than the flu shot does in preventing you from getting the flu.

My personal decision, seeing the adverse event risk, was to rely on natural immunity and risk infection.  I got infected.  I hit said infection immediately with meds despite the “official position” that there are no meds that work, my approach was successful and I now believe, with no evidence to the contrary in the data we have developed over the last 18 months, have durable, stable and sterile immunityand thus am willing to enter, without fear, into a Covid-19 ICU without any PPE whatsoever.

My approach, for myself, turned out to be right and since I have acquired said immunity (“the hard way”) I will not permit coercion to receive that which, on the scientific data, cannot materially improve said immunity (it’s binary, as I pointed out originally) and will consider any attempt to coerce or mandate same as a felony assault with intent to commit great bodily harm and will respond as is appropriate to any *******, no matter their affiliation, who tries it.

Welcome To The New Normal

By Karl Denninger, The Market Ticker

Again, this is a guest posting from Ishmael….

Welcome to the new normal.  A more detestable phrase has never been uttered.  “New” has no business describing “normal”.  Normal is normal.  There’s nothing new about it.  

Tickerguy’s recent ticker was a smoking gun. Killing Grandma was deliberate, not incompetence:  The PREP Act provides immunity for hospitals but only if they use approved COVID treatments.  Until it’s repealed we’re stuck with it.  The killings will continue until morale improves. 

Another phrase in the PREP Act explains much of clown world we’ve been living in and why the coof is not going away:

(quote) …from COVID–19, or the transmission of SARS–CoV–2 or a virus mutating therefrom. (quote)

With that provision, the PREP act ushered in a new normal.  Thanks, *******s.

How many variants and mutations of the coof do we have to look forward to?  As many as “the experts” discover.  Anything to keep malpractice immunity and money flowing into hospitals. When SCIENCE fails, bull**** flows: Tard rags prevent the spread.  The vaccines are highly effective and safe.  There are no treatments for COVID.  Ivermectin is dangerous.

The coof is with us until the money spigot is dry.  By then, we’ll have bigger problems.

So here we are, clown world.  Population: Yes.

How do we fight for normal, the 2019 version? 

Accept the fact that COVID is never going away.  Stop hounding people back to sanity.  The fear porn machine keeps them stuck.  They will either stop hiding under the bed on their own or not. Maybe this will never be their fight.

We are on our own.  

It’s worth repeating:  We are on our own.  

This is not defeatism.  Acknowledging it conserves mental energy and time for what comes next.

Take a deep breath. 

Nothing has changed, only the shock of proof is new.  Old information, new confirmation.  We were on our own nineteen months ago, a year ago, last month, and still today.

Read the first word again:  “we”. No one is alone in this, even those surrounded by clowns.

Clown world is inherently abusive.  The first step in coping or leaving an abusive relationship is realizing things will never change.  Abusers instill guilt and a sense of helplessness in their victims. “If only everyone got the clot shot!” and “Stay home for Thanksgiving so we can save Christmas,” were two prime examples of this.  See, it’s those people’s fault for the plague, don’t be like them. 

Abuse is not the victim’s fault and there is plenty adults can do about it, because they are not powerless.

Another fact:  No one can change their abuser.  No amount of placating or surrendering will sway them. Concessions accelerate abuse.  Avoiding punishment today means a double helping tomorrow.  Look at all those who got the clot shot in exchange for a free face and “normal” life.  Now they need three shots.  Or maybe a new shot every six months, the abusers haven’t decreed which yet.

There is no way to leave society, so coping is people’s option.

The gaslighting and demoralization cycle of rewards (Early Summer 2021) followed by punishments (end of July 2021) will continue.  Dreading it is normal, living your life around that dread is not.  Laugh, ignore mandates, create a bubble for your family.  Do whatever it takes to remember normal.

What should we do?  What can we do?  

The fight back to normal is not everyone’s. Some fight other battles, some want to lose what’s left of their sanity in relative peace.  That is okay.  No one can make another’s decision.

For those who choose to fight, take another deep breath and internalize this next sentence:

Pushback is coming, and it’s coming from me. 

How do you push back?  Everyone will answer this differently. There are so many good ideas that readers can share in the comments.  Remember, “We are on our own”.  

Pushback is the fun part.  It’s socially uncomfortable, but it’s the only way to fight and win against clown world.

A person who has already decided to quit/get fired over a jab mandate is in an excellent position to push back.  Masks?  Forget it.  Thrice daily testing?  No way.  Wear pants in the office?  Please.  What, they gonna get fired?

The hospitals will keep killing us, but with enough pushback the other bull**** vanishes.  No more mask stupidity or social distancing.

Once those in charge realize people are serious, they ask themselves fearfully what comes after pushback if we don’t cut the ****, including paying hospitals to kill patients?

Here’s WHY They Killed Your Grandmother

By Karl Denninger, The Market Ticker

Oh boy….. 

You want to know why, if you get Covid-19, the doctor and hospital won’t prescribe and use anything until you’re choking — and then only Dexamethasone, Remdesivir (which has failed twice in random controlled trials, including a VERY LARGE one, and is dangerous enough, on the data, that I’d never take it personally), oxygen, and ultimately a ventilator?

Here’s the reason directly from the government itself on an official government web page:

Section VII. Limitations on Distribution
The Secretary may specify that liability protections are in effect only for Covered Countermeasures obtained through a particular means of distribution.  The Declaration previously stated that liability immunity is afforded to Covered Persons only for Recommended Activities related to (a) present or future federal contracts, cooperative agreements, grants, other transactions, interagency agreements, or memoranda of understanding or other federal agreements; or (b) activities authorized in accordance with the public health and medical response of the Authority Having Jurisdiction to prescribe, administer, deliver, distribute, or dispense the Covered Countermeasures following a declaration of an emergency.

COVID-19 is an unprecedented global challenge that requires a whole-of-nation response that utilizes federal-, state-, and local- distribution channels as well as private-distribution channels.  Given the broad scale of this pandemic, the Secretary amends the Declaration to extend PREP Act coverage to additional private-distribution channels, as set forth below. 

The amended Section VII adds that PREP Act liability protections also extend to Covered Persons for Recommended Activities that are related to any Covered Countermeasure that is:

1. licensed, approved, cleared, or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (or that is permitted to be used under an Investigational New Drug Application or an Investigational Device Exemption) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act or Public Health Service (PHS) Act to treat, diagnose, cure, prevent, mitigate or limit the harm from COVID–19, or the transmission of SARS–CoV–2 or a virus mutating therefrom; or
   
2. a respiratory protective device approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) under 42 CFR part 84, or any successor regulations, that the Secretary determines to be a priority for use during a public health emergency declared under section 319 of the PHS Act to prevent, mitigate, or limit the harm from, COVID–19, or the transmission of SARS–CoV–2 or a virus mutating therefrom.

…..

There’s your answer.

Malone found this, by the way, and referenced it.  Full credit to him for doing so.  I’d missed it.

If the hospital or physician refuses to treat you with anything other than Remdesivir (which has an EUA still outstanding despite failing said trials), dexamethasone, oxygen and a ventilator (which, you remember, Trump bought tens of thousands of for this explicit purpose under the DPA) they are immune from all legal action you may take due to their negligence, even if they KNOW there are other treatment options that, on the science, work.

If they use those options they lose the PREP Act immunity.

That’s right: The US Federal Government demanded that in exchange for legal protection in all respects with regard to Covid-19 treatment only what they approved for said use could be used.  Anything else and poof — the PREP Act liability shield is gone.

HHS killed every single person denied care and treatments by direct decree as they not only pay the hospitals $30,000+ to put you on a ventilator they immunized the hospitals from legal action if and only if they refused to treat you with anything not on the FDA’s “approved” list.

THE PROBLEM WAS CREATED BY TRUMP AND CURRENTLY RESIDES WITH BIDEN WHO HAS REFUSED TO PUT A STOP TO IT.

Both of them, all of HHS, every member of Congress and every clinician and hospital involved from your local physician on up to every hospital following those protocols are murderous pricks who, between them, agreed to let you die on purpose and use proved-worthless and dangerous drugs to avail themselves of a liability shield put forward by HHS and authorized, years prior, by Congress.

Every one of these people — including every single Congressperson who did not revoke the PREP Act (or demand HHS remove that clause under pain of doing so) — is a mass-murderer.

Now you know what happened — and why.

You also now know why the only thing they will recommend in the current context is the jabs.

We no longer have a health care system in the United States folks.  It was deliberately destroyed by the PREP Act and what Trump’s HHS Secretary, and then Biden’s after him, did when Covid-19 showed up.  What we once had in America is gone, destroyed by Congress and the Executive in two successive Administrations.  It will never return until and unless the people of the nation demand it does and back up that demand with whatever is required.  There are a half-million dead Americans who became dead, in large part, as a direct result of this.  If that’s not enough for you to get off the couch — what is?

Nothing more than money and an absolute liability shield caused what has happened and is still happening today.  There is no need for any “grand conspiracy”; the explanation is found right there in the original and official source document.

It’s really simple folks: If you let me collect $30,000 for every person I kill, and so long as I do it with my SUV (or some other specified implement), and by no other means, I cannot be prosecuted or sued, well…..

I’m gonna get rich and a lot of people are going to get dead.
