Covid, Daily Maverick and Isaiah 5:20

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

A Girardian dystopia awaits us all when publications like the ‘Daily Maverick’, the ‘Conversation’ and ‘Bhekisisa’ betray journalism by parroting received truths fabricated by researchers such as Baker & Robinson, in order to denounce readers.


This post was partly written November 2021 but set aside in order to build a solid response to friends, family and the powers that be who argue that Covid vaccines are safe, and that anyone who does not wish to be vaccinated against Covid is a public risk and should be punished (see here). Fortuitously, the aforementioned task now serves as scaffolding for this post which sets out to show how I believe the South African media betrayed journalism, democracy, their purported liberal values, South Africa, and the future.


In the run-up to the municipal elections (1 November 2021) in South Africa, Stephen Grootes, political analyst for the Daily Maverick (DM), penned an essay, Anti-vaxxing politics — an ideal wedge issue for the desperate and low, arguing that ‘certain people’ are trying to generate vaccination hesitancy or even anti-vaccination sentiment for their own nefarious ends. Those in question were Reverend Kenneth Meshoe leader of the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) and Mzwanele Manyi, head of policy for the African Transformation Movement (ATM).

In addition to the post’s title, Grootes’s first paragraph sets the tone for his hit piece: ‘disgusting’, ‘disturbingly…selfish’, ‘(causing) untold damage’, all of which ‘(threaten) democracy’.

Wedge drivers

I do not want to fly the flag for either the aforementioned gentlemen (Meshoe or Manyi) but for the DM to complain about ‘desperate’ and ‘low’ wedge-driving that ‘threatens democracy’ when they themselves block readers from commenting on their pro-vaxx propaganda, which they’ve pumped out since the beginning is, in my view, hypocritical.

The above-mentioned post penned by Grootes, was, however, an exception, I assume, because it was deemed primarily political so a window of opportunity was provided by an open comments’ section for me to say my say, so I posted a response that, minutes later, DM, true to form, canned.

Fortunately anticipating this might happen I took a screen shot of the thread in question:

Covid-related comments that the ‘Daily Maverick’ spiked

The above is just one recent instance. There have been other, the most egregious being DM’s hit pieces aimed at Nick Hudson founder of Pandemics Data & Analytics (Panda) here & here also with no comments allowed, so Hudson could not be defended or be permitted a right to reply. Even Zapiro joined the mob (see here).

At this point I want to emphasise that the DM is not unique in this regard. For instance two of my comments to PoliticsWeb were intercepted for ‘moderation’, and I assume spiked, as they failed to appear. Only Biznews and Vrye Weekblad locally here in South Africa, as far as I know, enabled Covid to be discussed throughout this period.

Back to Grootes: what for me was so disappointing was that Grootes had always been fair, so why the vituperation? DM had always been my go-to publication for insight matched with integrity, so why this sudden betrayal of both their name (‘maverick’) and principles (liberal and democratic)?

Pro-vaxx propaganda dressed up as science

DM might argue they’re applying the unanimity-of-messaging principle of public health in line with the South African Disaster Management legislation (see the screen capture below):

South African Disaster Management legislation ‘Daily Maverick’ uses to justify shutting down all Covid-related debate

but as Dr Jay Bhattacharya points out in his Uncommon knowledge interview with Peter Robinson (see the link below), the science behind the current vaccination drive is far from settled, so trumpeting their pro-vaxx message is partisanship, not science:

In this case we had a new virus, we had enormous uncertainty about its death rate, who was most at risk, how it spreads, what interventions work and don’t work, enormous fights going on within the scientific community [ .. ] and before it was resolved people like Dr Fauci jumped to this public health norm [ … ] It actually had very pernicious effects so it, in effect, shut down scientific debate

Click here for the full segment until 1:03:51

In the same interview Bhattacharya observed how when the chips are down (DM take note):


the professed ideals that many people have: concern for the poor, concern for the working class, concern for children, as best I can tell that concern was lip service, as soon as the fear of Covid hit

Click here

Bhattacharya’s observation mirrors that of Giorgio Agamben in his: The invention of an epidemic:

The first thing that the wave of panic that has paralyzed the country obviously shows is that our society no longer believes in anything but bare life [ … ] Bare life — and the danger of losing it — is not something that unites people, but blinds and separates them. [ … ] And what is a society that has no value other than survival?

Giorgio Agamben: Clarifications translated by Adam Kotsko online here

If so, then ‘fear’ has Grootes (et al) by the short and curlies.

Fear aside, I find it hard to believe that Stephen Grootes and the DM don’t know exactly what they’re doing as does John Stupart – another zealous elevated protégé of the DM et al pro-vaxx revolution – saying it loud and clear: the unvaccinated are putting ‘the rest of society’ at a ‘20 times’ risk of the virus:

your resistance to the jab puts the rest of society at a greater risk – 20 times, to be precise – of infection from you

Weekend Thing newsletter, Daily Maverick, Saturday, 27 November 2021.

Rabble-rousing stuff. Evidence proffered by Stupart was a dubious post by Christopher Baker and Andrew Robinson of CEBRA (Centre of Excellence for Biosecurity Risk Analysis) in The Conversation, entitled Your unvaccinated friend is roughly 20 times more likely to give you Covid.

Clearly Stupart hadn’t bothered to read the article in question before amplifying its divisive and destructive message to goodness knows how many DM readers in the midst of a pandemic (November 2021 during the very scary Delta wave)?

Nor, it seems, did Mia Malan, editor-in-chief of Bhekisisa, who did the same to her >40k Twitter followers:

Because had Stupart and Malan done so, they would have discerned just how morally questionable the Baker and Robinson article in fact was, as, buried in the content for anyone who bothers to read beyond the headline, was Baker and Robinson’s confession that theirs was a ‘thought experiment’, i.e. conjecture, based on a mathematical-modelling exercise posing, if the title is anything to go by, as hard science.

For instance in the body of their post we learn what the ‘roughly 20 times’ in the heading is not an absolute but relative risk, which is exactly the same stunt Pfizer pulled by claiming 95% relative vaccine efficiency whereas the absolute equivalent of the Pfizer vaccines is <1% (0,84%)*** (see end note)

Further we learn that ‘20’ doesn’t factor in age – despite age being a crucial consideration when it comes to Covid risk of infection.

Neither Stupart nor Malan mentions any of the authors’ hand-washing disclaimers or their statistical sleight of hand above, but, instead, disseminate as fact the authors’ main incendiary message: your un-vaxxed friends will most likely kill you, so banish them from society.

Nowhere do any of the protagonists in this unfolding tragedy (Grootes, Stupart, Malan, Baker & Robinson) acknowledge their atavistic, reductionist assumptions that assign human beings to one of two binary categories (good or evil/selfish or selfless). They ignore the fact of there being two immune responses to the virus: natural and vaccinal which work in totally different ways, thus transcending a snapshot view of the pandemic. Lastly there is the egregious omission of actual research findings that the vaccines are an experiment that is largely failing, a fact that DM’s much vaunted investigative arm, Scorpio, could easily have uncovered had they wanted to, seeing I was able to do as much (see in particular my: Evidence that the official Covid narrative is rigged which, incidentally, references Daily Maverick, Bhekisisa and the Conversation (under: ‘They fund the narrative’) but also Stop believing Covid vaccines and boosters are not harming you and They say vaccinate against Covid; I say don’t).

Instead we have Stupart self-congratulatory hectoring of the ‘the great unvaxxed’:

If you’re reading this, you have at least one news outlet that isn’t derived from social media hysterics or deliberate fake news memery. Get. Vaccinated. Now. Before it’s too late for us all.

Isaiah 5:20

The fact that DM has from the very beginning stifled discussion on all the Covid-related ‘wedge’ issues listed in my reply to Bruce MacDonald:

  • source of the virus
  • lockdowns
  • masks
  • efficacy
  • side effects short & long
  • mandates
  • vaccine tracking
  • scapegoating, and the
  • shaping of human consciousness to accept authoritarianism unquestioningly

demonstrates, I believe, a totalitarian bent which betrays their values and their name. Consequently I shall not be renewing my Insiders subscription initiated way back in the days when I trusted DM to be on the side of the good and not in the business of subverting truth in the service of dark forces out to trick or coerce every single one of us on planet Earth to forfeit dominion over our own being and our bodies, for power and profit.

Stop believing Covid vaccines and boosters are not harming you

Third of three parts extracted from a full rebuttal (see here) responding to friends and family believing we should get vaccinated against Covid

If you have been vaccinated and are contemplating also being boosted, then read:

The harm you might be doing yourself

Our immune systems are under siege: wave after wave of vaccination and booster-generated spike being manufactured beyond the mucosal barrier, far in excess of severely ill Covid patents, is harming healthy immune systems throughout the planet that would otherwise have combatted the virus naturally and by now have built herd immunity

Key vaccinal adjuvants are allergenic for certain people: polyethylene glycol, (PEG) is an adjuvant (i.e. an additive intended to ‘enhances the body’s immune response’ OED) introduced to stabilise and facilitate the cellular uptake of mRNA but which is at the same time potentially highly inflammatory (Malone, 00:20:37 here), having caused anaphylaxis and cardiac collapse in animal experiments. PEG poses a hidden but high risk for approximately 2% of the population that might not know they’re allergenic, resulting in acute anaphylaxis (Stephanie Seneff and Greg Nigh, page 11) which, if we recall, had already become apparent during dodgy Pfizer trials that the CDC tried to suppress (see: ‘They downplayed deaths and serious side-effects at the start of the rollout’ above)

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) containers could trigger breast cancer: the synthetic fatty containers for the mRNA have been shown to cause inflammation and swelling of the lymph gland in the armpit of some vaccinees thus posing a danger of axillary lymphadenopathy that, particularly for women, could develop into breast cancer (Seneff & Nigh, pages 8&9)

Injected mRNA is still circulating months later: Robert Malone hypothesis that the pseudouridine they used to replace the uridines in the mRNA he invented might have been so successful in keeping the mRNA intact long enough to reach the spleen that mRNA breached the immune system’s early defences completely and instead of it breaking up after a few days as promised on the CDC website (refer the image below) mRNA and the lab-spike it’s generating the meanwhile, is still travelling the lymphatic system and beyond months later. (Röltgen et al via Malone here). Not a happy outcome.

The CDC assures humankind that vaccinal spike is harmless (note the bold)

Lab-engineered spike is far more toxic that the real thing: the spike protein that injected mRNA instructs cells to manufacture in our bodies has been genetically engineered to stay open, and anchored to the surface of cells. This was achieved by replacing two adjacent amino acids with prolines, a highly inflexible amino acid. Pfizer and Thomson-Reuters fact-checkers claim the modification makes the spike safer. Nor so, Robert Malone corrected, by underlining that ‘science is science’, and that their modification has in fact enhanced spike’s immunogenicity (Malone >32:08). Consequently instead of fusing, lab spike now attaches itself to ACE2 receptors wherever it can find them and remain docked weeks on end potentially causing harm (see also the next point)

Instead of Covid being combatted at the periphery, vaccinal spike is being mass-produced throughout our body: mRNA spreads throughout the body instructing cells it encounters to produce lab spike. Now consider this isn’t happening in the mucosal lining of our nose and throat where wild infection would strike and be combatted as part of natural infection (see ‘how our innate immune system goes about protecting us from the SARS-CoV-2 virus’, above). Instead this is happening in the ovaries (in fifth-place after injection site, liver, spleen and adrenal glands), testes (with reproductive implications), our brains (with neurological implications), and all over where cells are being instructed to create a toxin that will in itself likely cause endothelial damage (Mikolaj Raszek, here)

Lab-spike tampers with blood pressure, and more: ACE2 play a critical role in regulating angiotensin II (ANGII), which is responsible for blood pressure and cellular water levels, inter alia, by restricting or dilating blood vessels. If ACE2 regulates well, then expect optimum blood pressure, and wound healing. But if ACE2 is prevented from doing its job because lab-spike has attached itself to ACE2 receptors then things go horribly wrong through overproduction of ANGII leading to restricted blood vessels, soaring blood pressure, systemic hypertension, myocarditis, strokes and heart failure (Krishna Sriram, Paul Insel and Rohit Loomba). Clearly Novak Djokovic did his homework

Wave on wave of spike is confusing the immune system and runs the risk of priming self-reactive antibodies to attack host proteins: SARS-CoV-2 virus includes a number of sequences homologous with human protein, which explains why Covid 19 infections can trigger a range of cascading conditions including coronary arterial disease, strokes, and systemic hypertension (Seneff & Nigh, page 21). Wild spike contains almost all the aforementioned sequences as does lab-spike which the circulating mRNA instructs cells throughout the body to generate. First jab and our immune systems generate vaccinal antibodies to combat spike docked on the surface of the cell membrane. Second jab three weeks later, ditto. Three, four months pass and there’s a third wave of spike-generated antibodies being generated causing confusion as to their relationship to booster-spike, existing antibodies from the first and second jabs and/or human protein homologous with spike, thus potentially triggering cross-reactive antibodies pathologically primed to attack the liver, mitochondria, nervous and digestive systems, pancreas and blood platelets (Seneff & Nigh, page 15), and the consequential danger of hatching a range of autoimmune diseases that lead to low platelet counts, peripheral nerve damage, pernicious anaemia and lupus (ibid. pp 16-17)

The last two years have set the stage for antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) whereby the immune system assists rather than repels the virus: there is an increasing and real fear of a perfect storm: mass vaccination programmes driving newer more infectious or lethal variants, vaccinal antibodies not only unable to sterilise the virus but also rapidly waning in efficacy therefore requiring continual boosting resulting in a situation that invading viruses are able to exploit either directly through gaining cellular entry by exploiting gaps in the defence (Jesse Santiano & Seneff and Nigh, page 12)) or indirectly by exploiting cytotoxic inflammatory conditions in the wake of early infections leading to tissue damage and heightened infection, and unable to be cleared by a depleted immune system (Seneff and Nigh, page 13). With respect to the former (direct) route for ADE think: a guerrilla contingent circling army HQ and finding exhausted sentries asleep at their posts with the gates wide open, and with respect to the latter (indirect) route, think: discipline so deteriorated that when the guerrilla contingent strikes it finds a heavily compromised garrison with neighbouring brothel-diseased soldiers all suffering from hang overs and keys to the safe. What is the likelihood of ADE? Paul Offit says it can’t happen, Geert Vanden Bossche says it will happen if there’s mass vaccination against Omicron, and Paul Alexander believes that soaring infection rates and deaths among the vaccinated tell us it is already happening. In the end: man proposes, God disposes. See also: Derek Lowe & Edward Nirenberg

Vaccinal spike could be causing long-term prion-like diseases: research flowing from papers by Weickenmeier et al., Mueller et al., & J. Bart Classen suggest that vaccinal spike might be causing prion-like diseases (Seneff & Nigh, pages 22-5), in that lab-spike contains five prion-like motifs one of which is located in the proline region mentioned above (see: ‘lab-engineered spike is far more toxic that the real thing’ above) and is able to bind to host proteins inducing misfolding into prions. They argues that the pH balance in the spleen, accumulating spike and resultant inflammation create the perfect condition for hatching toxic prion oligomers which are then transported as exosomes up the vagus nerve to pathways in the brain causing widespread neurodegenerative disease manifesting over time as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (progressive weakness and muscle atrophy)

Vaccine side-effects might be early signals of serious disease developing in the background: Seneff and Nigh contend that early Vaers reports of headaches, nausea, dizziness, encephalitis, blood clots, Bell’s palsy, anaphylaxis might be important cardio vascular and neurological signals that we downplay or ignore at our peril (Seneff & Nigh, page 22)

Our innate immune system is being phased out: reports of the activation of latent herpes Zoster (shingles) on Vaers suggest that vaccinal antibodies are suppressing the innate immune system (Seneff & Nigh, page 21). Additionally bear in mind that ongoing lab-induced stimulation biases vaccinal antibodies over the innate immune system therefore perpetrating what is known as original antigenic sin thus putting humankind in grave danger if ever confronted by a vaccine-resistant variant with no plan B because our innate immune systems have been phased out. Apropos see this report: ‘Israeli SARS-CoV-2 Omicron cases surge, as do deaths while study reveals a fourth booster raises antibodies yet doesn’t appear to stop Omicron’

Geneticists are playing God: given that the very virus with which we are now grappling is almost certainly lab-made – the smoking gun being research suggesting that the SARS-CoV-2 virus 2 contain ‘proprietary (i.e. patented) sequences’ (K. Balamurali et al here) allegedly held by Moderna Therapeutics, Moderna TX, Cambia, CureVac AG and even Monsanto (references: Rose here and an interview with the CEO of Moderna here) – the spectre of reverse engineering causing chromosomal damage cascading downwards trans-generationally or any other genetically-engineered nightmare is a distinct possibility (Seneff & Nigh, pages 26-30). At issue is a paper that has just come out (Aldén et al, here) reporting that mRNA ‘reverse transcribes’ into DNA in the nucleus of liver cells and, therefore, potentially, testes and ovaries with transgenerational implications, something the CDC assured vaccinees would never happen (see image below). See (also): Peter McCullough’s alert here, a Trial Site News report here, Reddit discussion here and a broader sweep here.

CDC assures vaccinees that mRNA won’t reverse-transcribe into DNA


Vaccines are falling seriously short in a number of other ways: whereas the body’s natural immune response is immediate, vaccinal antibodies need two injections spread over weeks to come into their own leaving the vaccinee vulnerable to Covid, during the interim. Whereas the innate response is broader, longer lasting and against many different antigens present in the virus, vaccinal antibodies are not mucosal and only pinpoint the Covid virus’s spike protein but of an earlier variant, no longer circulating.


To illustrate some of the above:

  • consult this list of 1000 peer-reviewed studies questioning Covid-19 vaccine safety, published by Informed Choice Australia
  • visit Robert Malone’s website where he reports on, and references vaccine-associated deaths and disability in children and young adults
  • do the same with respect to Jessica Rose, who provides numbers (scroll down) with analysis of Vaers stats
  • read Rose’s consolidated finding of mortality among the very young based on coroners’ reports here
  • read these two most recent reports of three young children who died days after being vaccinated here and here
  • list on Twitter of people who died in their sleep here

Finally, I share four personal illustrations of possible vaccine-induced injuries. A family member suffered full-blown Covid after her first Pfizer shot. After her second she developed what she described as a bumpy heart diagnosed as arrhythmia and ascribed to ‘post-Covid’ (not ‘post-vaccine’!?). Months later her condition hasn’t changed and after yet another thorough medical assessment her diagnosis is now depression. Hers, I believe, is a template: dull humankind’s grief through mass medication. I received news of a second fully vaccinated family member being admitted to George hospital and diagnosed having suffered a series of mini-strokes. A few weeks previously a fully vaccinated friend died or a heart attack. The fourth instance was a distraught neighbour sharing that her perfectly fit father has recently been in and out of hospital but doesn’t want to consider vaccines might be the cause, although (his daughter reports), “I think he knows, because he’s heartbroken.”

  • and here (Evidence that the official Covid narrative is rigged)

Evidence that the official Covid narrative is rigged

Second of three parts extracted from a full rebuttal (see here) responding to friends and family believing everyone should get vaccinated against Covid

Big pharma, regulatory authorities, government, big tech, legacy and mainstream media (MMM) lied, twisted and kept us from the truth about Covid vaccines

Here’s the evidence

They doctored the definition of vaccines: pre-2015 vaccines prevented diseases. Not anymore. Now all their experimental technology needs do to qualify as a vaccine is to offer protection from the disease. Prevent/protect; big difference.

They told you the vaccine cannot give you Covid (see here): that’s right, even if (as happened to a close family member) you contract full-blown Covid after your first shot, the vaccination didn’t do it. How come? Well you’ll need to know that the definition of ‘vaccinated’ means two shots (soon three, and counting), so the fact that the first shot suppresses your immune system up to 14 days, during which time you’re vulnerable to whatever’s in the air, including the virus, you mustn’t blame the vaccine. Also you’re classified as ‘unvaccinated’ for statistical purposes, which looks good when the graphs proving the unvaccinated are most at risk of Covid infection are paraded by the experts and MSM.

They hid clinical trial results: it took a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from a group of 30 scientists and academics (reference) to extract the first 100 or so redacted pages from the Food and Drug Administration Agency (FDA) which relayed ‘the data and information relied upon by the FDA to approve Pfizer’s experimental vaccine for Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA)’. The FDA wants the remaining pages kept under lock and key for 55 years. To discover gross malfeasance hidden from you such as claiming 95% vaccine efficiency whereas the absolute equivalent is <1% (0,84%), and serious flaws in Pfizer’s research itself, watch this 40-minute video put together by the Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA): Pfizer Covid shots cause ‘More Harm Than Good’ (click here), and never again say you didn’t know.

They downplayed deaths and serious side-effects at the start of the rollout: once the rollout had begun the FDA requested a report from Pfizer on any adverse events, which came in a research paper published as Cumulative Analysis of Post-Authorization Adverse Event Reports of Pf-07302048 (Bnt162b2) received through 28-Feb-2021 (click here), which revealed 1223 deaths and thousands of serious side effects out of 42,086 cases reported in the first three months that should surely have elicited concern.

But Pfizer reassured all in the report that there was no need to panic as they would continue monitoring. That was almost a year ago. In the meantime, Sonia Elijah in Trial Site News is worried, plenty. See here (pay-walled). Elijah speaks to the aforementioned Trial Site News report in a follow-up interview conducted by Australian James Preston which at the time hit over 1.25M views in its first three days on YouTube that – surprise, surprise – YouTube then promptly took down. You can however view the interviews here (part one) and here (part two) in which Elijah reports over 150K symptoms from 40K cases in the first three months of Pfizer’s vaccination programme following emergency use authorisation. These included nine recorded deaths from anaphylaxis – four on the same day of receiving the shot, and, in the ‘pregnancy and lactation’ category of a follow up ancillary report from Pfizer to the FDA: 25 reports of ‘spontaneous abortions’ (miscarriages) among 270 ‘unusual pregnancies’ including neonatal deaths, all of which fell within the three-month time period of the report.

They are now decoupling reports of deaths from the vaccine: first Scotland and now the CDC will be withholding vaccine-related hospitalisation and death numbers for fear they’ll be ‘misrepresented’ by anti-vaxxers. That’s royal considering how data has been presented over the last two years to convince the world that you’ll never fall seriously ill or die if you’re vaccinated (see also, ‘They hid behind dodgy stats’ below). Further grist to the vaccine-industry mill is that not one of the reasons mentioned in a recent WSJ report on the unusually high number of non-Covid death pay-outs in 2021 was attributed to the vaccine, which to me illustrates the level of vested interest cover-up. The net result is that very few who suddenly fall ill or learn that a friend or family member has died considers that the vaccine might be the cause. Apropos see a personal note further down (‘they are not worthy’) in which I share four instances (three sudden illnesses and one death) that seem suspiciously like they could be vaccine-related.

They spiked research: Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened a meeting to decide whether also to vaccinate children aged five to 11. Days before the meeting was scheduled Elsevier withdrew a highly relevant peer reviewed paper by Drs Jessica Rose and Peter A. McCullough (see screen capture below), which presented findings of Myocarditis adverse events in children, as reported in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (Vaers). See here (Peter McCullough in conversation with Brett Weinstein) and here (Jessica Rose interviewed by Gal Shalev).

They doctored research: Dr Hill of the WHO skewed results that would otherwise have proved Ivermectin was helpful in early treatment. See ‘Dr Tess Lawrie on the suppression of her work’.

They hid behind dodgy stats: by analysing the UK Office for National Statistics (Ons) data, Professors Norman Fenton and Martin Neil of Queen Mary University of London point to ‘a range of serious inconsistencies and anomalies’ that bring into question reports of vaccine effectiveness. See also this exchange between Spectator’s Fraser Nelson and Professor Graham Medley who chairs the Sage modelling committee where the latter conceded ‘we generally model what we are asked to model’.

They suppressed every alternative to the official narrative: they have made it their business to promote one narrative by targeting, censoring, censuring, de-platforming or demonetized vaccinologists, virologists, scientists, doctors and/or academics who question their one narrative. Examples I’m aware of among many more follow:

  • YouTube has taken down content or demonetised accounts: Professor John Ioannidis had an early post in the epidemic taken down, pointing to the psychological, sociological and economic consequences of lockdowns that were being implemented without any research having been conducted. Drs Bret and Heather Weinstein’s DarkHorse Podcast was demonetised (also here). Senator Rand Paul was suspended for ‘allegedly delivering misinformation regarding the Covid virus and masks’. Dr Aditi Bhargava’s testimony as part of U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s panel discussion into COVID-19 vaccine injuries, pulled. Dr Peter Doshi senior editor at BMJ (British Medical Journal) and associate professor of pharmaceutical health services research at the University, of Maryland School of Pharmacy had his video removed for searching questions regarding Covid vaccines (also here). Nick Hudson of Panda’s (Pandemics Data & Analytics) had his ‘the ugly truth’ video taken down. They took down the abovementioned James Preston interview of Sonia Elijah
  • Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter have permanently deleted accounts most often without explaining why: Robert Kennedy Jnr’s Instagram account was cancelled without notice for ‘false Covid vaccine claims’ or ‘vaccine misinformation’. Vaccinologist Dr Geert Vanden Bossche LinkedIn account was suspended for unknown reasons as was that of Prof. Marty Makary. Researcher and lecturer Dr David Thunder had his Twitter account permanently cancelled, inter alia, for warning against ‘exposing children, who are at negligible risk from Covid-19, to the risk of a vaccine whose impact on children is not yet well understood, would be irresponsible’. Abir Ballan’s Twitter account was permanently cancelled for reporting on the aforementioned conversation between Drs Laurie and Hill in which the latter admitted to doctoring the results of their study to downplay the effectiveness of Ivermectin (later rescinded). Dr Robert Malone’s Twitter account was permanently suspended he suspects for sharing the abovementioned CCCA report: ‘Pfizer Covid shots cause ‘More Harm Than Good’’. Malone’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were also cancelled for unspecified crimes.
  • medical authorities have vilified, hunted and/or taken out key academics and practitioners who question, stray from or disagree with the official narrative: Professors Martin Kulldorff (Harvard), Sunetra Gupta (Oxford) and Jay Bhattacharya (Stanford) were conspired against by Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Francis Collins, former director of the NIH, for arguing, in their Great Barrington Declaration, targeted vaccines for the vulnerable and the lifting of lockdowns. The Australian medical authority hit Dr Mark Hobart so hard for ‘falsifying vaccine records’ that Melbourne doctors were subsequently terrified to issue exemptions from vaccines even for individuals, like Betty Pezzimenti, who are at mortal risk of anaphylaxis (see this Bret Weinstein interview). US Medical Authorities are not far behind with the following prominent doctors that advocate early treatment for Covid being targeted one after the other: Dr Peter McCullough, one of the most published medical practitioners in the world sued for a third-party error for which he’s being held responsible (Joe Rogan Interview | transcription, page 37). Dr Paul Merrick ‘an exceptional physician by any standards – run out of his hospital and demeaned’. (ibid., page 37. See also here & here.) Paediatric cardiologist Dr Kirk Milhoan ‘among the most qualified individuals in the world for managing Covid and commenting on cardio myocarditis in children … a pastor at a local country congregation, has run a food bank his whole life (and) travelled to emerging economies to provide free treatment’ kicked out of his hospital because he was providing early treatment’ (Joe Rogan Interview | transcription, pages 40-41). Dr Robert Malone inventor of the messenger RNA (mRNA) technology underpinning the vaccine, Chief Medical & Regulatory Officer for the Unity Project of more than 17000 physicians and scientists worldwide and outspoken critic of mass vaccination particularly for children received a long list of complaints filed with the Medical Licensing Board for Maryland three days before Christmas to which he had to answer under threat of having his licence revoked (Joe Rogan Interview | transcription, page 19). But wait for it; that’s not all: the US Federation of State Medical Boards has just warned they will soon be identifying, investigating and potentially punishing physicians or pharmacies involved in marketing claims associated with Ivermectin with respect to Covid-19 (see here) leading to more doctors being fired, such as, inter alia, more recently, Dr Edith Behr in Pennsylvania

They fund the narrative: MSM and non-government organisations (NGOs) are richly rewarded for promoting the narrative. Here’s a list of Bill and Melinda Gates beneficiaries, which includes >R12M USD to the Guardian and >6M to the Conversation. South Africa’s very own Bhekisisa scoring just shy of R4M USD (that’s a lot of money converted to ZAR). Other generous donors are George Soros’s Freedom Foundation, which, inter alia, funds the Daily Maverick, which churns out pro-vaxx content, and with their comment section battened down since the start of the pandemic. What price freedom of the press? Meanwhile, Meet the 40 New Billionaires Who Got Rich Fighting Covid-19.

They now deploy a phalanx of fact checkers: a new front in their battle to undermine truth in the name of truth is the fact-checkers. I say this because I’ve recently noticed that certain of my primary sources for this post are now being ‘fact checked’ and labelled ‘false’. I point for instance to this Agence France-Presse (AFP) dismissal of the 40-minute video I referenced above by the Canadian Covid Care Alliance, which identifies four elements in the video they claim to be false so as to disqualify the whole (see image below). For instance a ‘non-fact’ they identify is that one of the long list of young sportsmen reported in the video dropped dead hadn’t been vaccinated. I could argue the other three ‘errors’ as well, but you can reach your own conclusions after watching the video. This then apparently serves as evidence to slap a ‘cancelled-nothing-to-see-here’ label over the video that Google – who owns search – ensures is the first item anyone gets directed to when searching for the video.

Search Canadian Covid Care Alliance or CCCA and Google is sure to dish up ‘the dirt’, carefully curated to discredit. One such instance is illustrated above

I fear deeply their diktat: vaccinate; so should you

In which I alert to the danger that is upon us

Why doesn’t it matter that young pregnant mothers are told it is safe and they should be vaccinated also for their unborn child? Why are children walking around with masks? Why are friends encouraging friends to sign petitions supporting vaccine mandates? Why are people being arrested because they are frightened they’ll do themselves harm if they are vaccinated? Why are we being encouraged to discriminate and to hate? Why at times do I find myself weeping uncontrollably as I experience all this unfolding in real time? Why is it that many who have been vaccinated do not want to engage on any of these issues? Why is the aforementioned now normal?

My reason for this cri de cœur

To find answers to these questions I reached out to family members and friends who believe that we must all be vaccinated, and that anyone who resists should be encouraged or forced to do so, otherwise corralled and separated for the greater good. Their argument, as I understand it has the following dimensions:

  • health: they argue that because the unvaccinated are at greater risk of contracting the virus than the vaccinated, the unvaccinated are the breeding ground for new variants. Furthermore, because it is the unvaccinated that mostly land up in hospitals, they are clogging ICU thereby depriving other patients with potentially fatal illnesses from receiving attention
  • policy: a pandemic is a public health matter not private, and so individual vaccine status is salient
  • moral: the unvaccinated display a selfish disregard for the welfare of others
  • cognitive: there is dissonance at work when those who reject science as in vaccination then seek help from science if infected
  • personal: there exists a fringe yet significant subset of society prone to conspiracy theories and libertarianism resembling MAGA-flag-waving Trumpists who see rejecting the vaccine as a mark of status
  • scientific: the anti-vaxx movement signifies a universal retreat from science into belief, religion and postulates, in which case the only way forward for any sensible human being is to follow scientific consensus

What they’re sharing seems to be underpinned by faith that government initiatives have and will prevent unnecessary deaths, gratitude to pharmaceutical companies for the vaccines, and a belief, generally, that their decision to be vaccinated and boosted was the right one, likewise for their children.

If the above covers all bases, then what follows is how I see things from the point of view of someone who doesn’t want to be vaccinated and who believes no one should unless they are in the <1% at risk of death from the virus, and even then there are question marks.

To this end I’ll provide evidence that we are being lied to and manipulated. I’ll then try to explain how what ‘they’, as in the powers that be call science (big money, big pharma, medical authorities, government, big tech, legacy and main stream media (MSM), and/or the Davos World Economic Forum set), is being used to subvert science, and to separate us from nature. I’ll then try to share why this profound instance that we all experience as life here on our planet somewhere in the cosmos, and of being human, is under grave threat and therefore needs each of us to say ‘no’ to further shots and their mandates, and ‘yes’ to our own immune systems and basic human rights. Finally, throughout all that follows, I pay homage to the doctors, geneticists, statisticians, journalists and foot soldiers (whom, last mentioned, I reference at the end) whose experience, research and insight I have used as the grist for this reply. Thank you for holding the line, risking all.

Before I launch forth, I must acknowledge this post turned out longer than I would have hoped. The reasons are that the friends in question are razor sharp and schooled in discourse where opinion counts for naught and positions must be grounded and tightly argued. Length, therefore, should not be cause for discounting what I share. Instead my request is that whomever shows me if and where I’ve erred or misled. These are not ordinary times. Andy Grove, former CEO of Intel once warned: ‘only the paranoid survive’. We must know that the oligarchs are plenty paranoid. We need to be as well.

They have lied, twisted and kept us from the truth

What follows is evidence for the above statement:

They doctored the definition of vaccines: pre-2015 vaccines prevented diseases. Not anymore. Now all their experimental technology needs do to qualify as a vaccine is to offer protection from the disease. Prevent/protect; big difference.

They told you the vaccine cannot give you Covid (see here): that’s right, even if (as happened to a close family member) you contract full-blown Covid after your first shot, the vaccination didn’t do it. How come? Well you’ll need to know that the definition of ‘vaccinated’ means two shots (soon three, and counting), so the fact that the first shot suppresses your immune system up to 14 days, during which time you’re vulnerable to whatever’s in the air, including the virus, you mustn’t blame the vaccine. Also you’re classified as ‘unvaccinated’ for statistical purposes, which looks good when the graphs proving the unvaccinated are most at risk of Covid infection are paraded by the experts and MSM.

They hid clinical trial results: it took a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from a group of 30 scientists and academics (reference) to extract the first 100 or so redacted pages from the Food and Drug Administration Agency (FDA) which relayed ‘the data and information relied upon by the FDA to approve Pfizer’s experimental vaccine for Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA)’. The FDA wants the remaining pages kept under lock and key for 55 years. To discover gross malfeasance hidden from you such as claiming 95% vaccine efficiency whereas the absolute equivalent is <1% (0,84%), and serious flaws in Pfizer’s research itself, watch this 40-minute video put together by the Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA): Pfizer Covid shots cause ‘More Harm Than Good’ (click here), and never again say you didn’t know.

They downplayed deaths and serious side-effects at the start of the rollout: once the rollout had begun the FDA requested a report from Pfizer on any adverse events, which came in a research paper published as Cumulative Analysis of Post-Authorization Adverse Event Reports of Pf-07302048 (Bnt162b2) received through 28-Feb-2021 (click here), which revealed 1223 deaths and thousands of serious side effects out of 42,086 cases reported in the first three months that should surely have elicited concern.

But Pfizer reassured all in the report that there was no need to panic as they would continue monitoring. That was almost a year ago. In the meantime, Sonia Elijah in Trial Site News is worried, plenty. See here (pay-walled). Elijah speaks to the aforementioned Trial Site News report in a follow-up interview conducted by Australian James Preston which at the time hit over 1.25M views in its first three days on YouTube that – surprise, surprise – YouTube then promptly took down. You can however view the interviews here (part one) and here (part two) in which Elijah reports over 150K symptoms from 40K cases in the first three months of Pfizer’s vaccination programme following emergency use authorisation. These included nine recorded deaths from anaphylaxis – four on the same day of receiving the shot, and, in the ‘pregnancy and lactation’ category of a follow up ancillary report from Pfizer to the FDA: 25 reports of ‘spontaneous abortions’ (miscarriages) among 270 ‘unusual pregnancies’ including neonatal deaths, all of which fell within the three-month time period of the report.

They are now decoupling reports of deaths from the vaccine: first Scotland and now the CDC will be withholding vaccine-related hospitalisation and death numbers for fear they’ll be ‘misrepresented’ by anti-vaxxers. That’s royal considering how data has been presented over the last two years to convince the world that you’ll never fall seriously ill or die if you’re vaccinated (see also, ‘They hid behind dodgy stats’ below). Further grist to the vaccine-industry mill is that not one of the reasons mentioned in a recent WSJ report on the unusually high number of non-Covid death pay-outs in 2021 was attributed to the vaccine, which to me illustrates the level of vested interest cover-up. The net result is that very few who suddenly fall ill or learn that a friend or family member has died considers that the vaccine might be the cause. Apropos see a personal note further down (‘they are not worthy’) in which I share four instances (three sudden illnesses and one death) that seem suspiciously like they could be vaccine-related.

They spiked research: Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened a meeting to decide whether also to vaccinate children aged five to 11. Days before the meeting was scheduled Elsevier withdrew a highly relevant peer reviewed paper by Drs Jessica Rose and Peter A. McCullough, which presented findings of Myocarditis adverse events in children, as reported in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (Vaers). Apropos, see here (Peter McCullough in conversation with Brett Weinstein) and here (Jessica Rose interviewed by Gal Shalev). More widely, are two first-hand accounts of doctors (Pierre Kory and Flavio Cadegiani) who report on ‘The Corruption of Medical Journals’, which can be viewed here.

They doctored research: Dr Hill of the WHO skewed results that would otherwise have proved Ivermectin was helpful in early treatment. See ‘Dr Tess Lawrie on the suppression of her work’.

They hid behind dodgy stats: by analysing the UK Office for National Statistics (Ons) data, Professors Norman Fenton and Martin Neil of Queen Mary University of London point to ‘a range of serious inconsistencies and anomalies’ that bring into question reports of vaccine effectiveness. See also this exchange between Spectator’s Fraser Nelson and Professor Graham Medley who chairs the Sage modelling committee where the latter conceded ‘we generally model what we are asked to model’.

They suppressed every alternative to the official narrative: they have made it their business to promote one narrative by targeting, censoring, censuring, de-platforming or demonetized vaccinologists, virologists, scientists, doctors and/or academics who question their one narrative. Examples I’m aware of among many more follow:

  • YouTube has taken down content or demonetised accounts: Professor John Ioannidis (scroll down) had an early post in the epidemic taken down, pointing to the psychological, sociological and economic consequences of lockdowns that were being implemented without any research having been conducted. Drs Bret and Heather Weinstein’s DarkHorse Podcast was demonetised (also here). Senator Rand Paul was suspended for ‘allegedly delivering misinformation regarding the Covid virus and masks’. Dr Aditi Bhargava’s testimony as part of U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s panel discussion into COVID-19 vaccine injuries, pulled. Dr Peter Doshi senior editor at BMJ (British Medical Journal) and associate professor of pharmaceutical health services research at the University, of Maryland School of Pharmacy had his video removed for searching questions regarding Covid vaccines (also here). Nick Hudson of Panda’s (Pandemics Data & Analytics) had his ‘the ugly truth’ video taken down. They took down the abovementioned James Preston interview of Sonia Elijah
  • Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter have permanently deleted accounts most often without explaining why: Robert Kennedy Jnr’s Instagram account was cancelled without notice for ‘false Covid vaccine claims’ or ‘vaccine misinformation’. Vaccinologist Dr Geert Vanden Bossche LinkedIn account was suspended for unknown reasons as was that of Prof. Marty Makary. Researcher and lecturer Dr David Thunder had his Twitter account permanently cancelled, inter alia, for warning against ‘exposing children, who are at negligible risk from Covid-19, to the risk of a vaccine whose impact on children is not yet well understood, would be irresponsible’. Abir Ballan’s Twitter account was permanently cancelled for reporting on the aforementioned conversation between Drs Laurie and Hill in which the latter admitted to doctoring the results of their study to downplay the effectiveness of Ivermectin (later rescinded). Dr Robert Malone’s Twitter account was permanently suspended he suspects for sharing the abovementioned CCCA report: ‘Pfizer Covid shots cause ‘More Harm Than Good’’. Malone’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were also cancelled for unspecified crimes.
  • medical authorities have vilified, hunted and/or taken out key academics and practitioners who question, stray from or disagree with the official narrative: Professors Martin Kulldorff (Harvard), Sunetra Gupta (Oxford) and Jay Bhattacharya (Stanford) were conspired against by Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Francis Collins, former director of the NIH, for arguing, in their Great Barrington Declaration, targeted vaccines for the vulnerable and the lifting of lockdowns. The Australian medical authority hit Dr Mark Hobart so hard for ‘falsifying vaccine records’ that Melbourne doctors were subsequently terrified to issue exemptions from vaccines even for individuals, like Betty Pezzimenti, who are at mortal risk of anaphylaxis (see this Bret Weinstein interview). US Medical Authorities are not far behind with the following prominent doctors that advocate early treatment for Covid being targeted one after the other: Dr Peter McCullough, one of the most published medical practitioners in the world sued for a third-party error for which he’s being held responsible (Joe Rogan Interview | transcription, page 37). Dr Paul Merrick ‘an exceptional physician by any standards – run out of his hospital and demeaned’ (ibid., page 37. See also here & here). Paediatric cardiologist Dr Kirk Milhoan ‘among the most qualified individuals in the world for managing Covid and commenting on cardio myocarditis in children … a pastor at a local country congregation, has run a food bank his whole life (and) travelled to emerging economies to provide free treatment’ kicked out of his hospital because he was providing early treatment’ (Joe Rogan Interview | transcription, pages 40-41). Dr Robert Malone inventor of the messenger RNA (mRNA) technology underpinning the vaccine, Chief Medical & Regulatory Officer for the Unity Project of more than 17000 physicians and scientists worldwide and outspoken critic of mass vaccination particularly for children received a long list of complaints filed with the Medical Licensing Board for Maryland three days before Christmas to which he had to answer under threat of having his licence revoked (Joe Rogan Interview | transcription, page 19). But wait for it; that’s not all: the US Federation of State Medical Boards has just warned they will soon be identifying, investigating and potentially punishing physicians or pharmacies involved in marketing claims associated with Ivermectin with respect to Covid-19 (see here) leading to more doctors being fired, such as, inter alia, more recently, Dr Edith Behr in Pennsylvania.

They fund the narrative: MSM and non-government organisations (NGOs) are richly rewarded for promoting the narrative. Here’s a list of Bill and Melinda Gates beneficiaries, which includes >R12M USD to the Guardian and >6M to the Conversation. South Africa’s very own Bhekisisa scoring just shy of R4M USD (that’s a lot of money converted to ZAR). Other generous donors are George Soros’s Freedom Foundation, which, inter alia, funds the Daily Maverick, which churns out pro-vaxx content, and with their comment section battened down since the start of the pandemic. What price freedom of the press? Meanwhile, Meet the 40 New Billionaires Who Got Rich Fighting Covid-19.

They now deploy a phalanx of fact checkers: a new front in their battle to undermine truth in the name of truth is the fact-checkers. I say this because I’ve recently noticed that certain of my primary sources for this post are now being ‘fact checked’ and labelled ‘false’. I point for instance to this Agence France-Presse (AFP) dismissal of the 40-minute video I referenced above by the Canadian Covid Care Alliance, which identifies four elements in the video they claim to be false so as to disqualify the whole (see image below). For instance a ‘non-fact’ they identify is that one of the long list of young sportsmen reported in the video dropping dead hadn’t been vaccinated. I could argue the other three ‘errors’ as well, but you can reach your own conclusions after watching the video. This then apparently serves as evidence to slap a ‘cancelled-nothing-to-see-here’ label over the video that Google – who owns search – ensures is the first item anyone gets directed to when searching for the video.

Search ‘Canadian Covid Care Alliance: more harm than good’ and guess what Google presents? Nothing to see; move on, now

Update: just in, the CCCA has fact-checked the AFP fact checkers, see here.

They are now ‘the science’

Whether Anthony ‘I represent science’ Fauci personifies science, or the medical-industrial complex is perhaps moot; what is harder to dispute is that he and those he represents have glossed over what would normally be understood as science set out below and in its place constructed ‘the science’, an edifice that rules supreme, as we are now experiencing to our alarm:

  • not all viruses are the same: generally speaking, viruses seek out specific hosts in which to propagate. For instance measles seeks out children whereas Covid goes for the elderly and sickly. Measles is highly infectious but doesn’t change much over time unlike flu and Corona viruses which are highly mutable and so keep coming at us with ever-new variants (reference: Vanden Bossche, G: here (interview) or here (transcription), particularly >32:17)
  • not all vaccines are the same: some traditional vaccines provide lifelong immunity, current gene-based vaccines used to combat Covid don’t, and cannot. For instance traditional, live, attenuated (as in a weakened form of the disease) vaccines provide sterilizing lifelong immunity against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), whereas the new gene-based mRNA technologies produced by Pfizer and Moderna turn out to be leaky as their efficacy wanes rapidly, and are therefore non-sterilizing. Another drawback is their laser-specificity which means they’re already largely out of date as soon as a new variant takes over
  • not all vaccination programmes are the same: the current vaccination programme is aimed en masse, i.e. everybody, as legislated in the country in question. Past vaccination campaigns have been targeted, for instance, at the very young for measles, and have provided immunity. The current drive to vaccinate every single human being on the planet has never ever in the history of humankind been attempted, and is believed to be driving new variants, as will be discussed below
  • each of us has an immune system: we were all born with an intact (innate) immune system which is our first line of defence to ward off pathogenic danger (i.e. bacteria and viruses). We strengthen our immune system through diet (for instance breast milk at birth | see here, here and here followed by balanced whole foods growing up and into old age), exercise, and immune training through exposure to the world of pathogens, and not locked down living in a bubble. Under attack the epithelial cell receptors on the surface of our bodies (skin) and throughout our body (cell lining of our nose, mouth, intestine, blood vessels, etc.) send out signals for B-cells to attach themselves to the attacker and to manufacture antibodies, and for killer T-cells to destroy infected cells. B & T-cells are under the management of helper T-cells that call in macrophages to sterilize, as in completely kill off the virus, thereby helping humankind achieve herd immunity. Some B and T-cells turn into memory cells which stay behind as early warning and defence systems in case the virus or a cousin ever returns. With constant exposure to and mounted protection from the outside world our innate immune system learns and develops as our adaptive immune system. We can further strengthen our immune system by priming it in advance against highly contagious pathogens such as measles and polio through exposure. This is where vaccines have a role to play, also in building herd immunity. Apropos, to note that because mRNA vaccines do not completely kill, as in sterilise, the virus they can never offer humankind herd immunity against a virus that mutates rapidly, so mandating vaccines in order to achieve herd immunity is wishful thinking
  • how our innate immune system goes about protecting us from the SARS-CoV-2 virus: a relatively small number of Covid viruses enter our body by latching onto the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein receptors on the surface of the mucosal cells in the nasal cavity, unlock and then release their RNA programme into the cell with instructions to make new virus particles according to its genetic blueprint (references: here, here & here). Immediately the body’s innate immune system springs into action where, armed with the memory of prior infections that enable it to target 54 related pathogenic proteins there’s, what Robert Malone describes ‘a dance between your escalating immune system and the spreading virus’ (reference here >34:01). If the body’s natural immune defence is unable to stem the invasion because of a generally rundown physical constitution or saddled with comorbidities, the pathogen gradually spreads down the respiratory tract to infect first the upper and then lower lungs and could spread to other organs. If our natural immune’s defence proves successful (which, incidentally, was the case with potentially >99% of the human population before the first vaccines were rolled out) then our body’s immune system is strengthened with an expanded arsenal against upcoming variants

With the above science back into the picture, I shall try to convey to you, dear reader, why I believe that blind trust in the Covid vaccinal narrative is misguided.

They now assume for themselves the right to ownership of our bodies

In a previous post (A grin without a cat: Covid-19) I argued that if humankind wants a glimpse of its future, to look no further than any modern factory farm where animals are quarantined, vaccinated, pumped full of antibiotics and on a conveyor belt to their inevitable end. No escape.

To understand how close we are to this dystopian outcome let us explore the consequences of part one of this essay:

They rule against nature: for me the most damning proof that the powers that be have little interest in health or saving lives beyond mandating vaccines, is that our immune system has not once in the past two years, ever been acknowledged let alone celebrated for what it is: our primary and most effective defence against SARS-CoV-2. Nor has there been any purposeful discussion around ensuring our immune system is and remains robust. Consequently we’re now confronted with the bizarre scenario where the only deemed front against Covid is vaccinal antibodies. The fact that my natural immune system has been and continues working equally hard and, it turns out, far more reliably than vaccinal antibodies at keeping me alive simply isn’t credited. In summary: how come >99% of us didn’t die before the vaccines arrived? How come, a year later, vaccines get all the credit?

Update: the CDC has now added a ‘healthy living’ component to their website. Covering their arse, maybe?

They hunt and take out those among us whom they’ve labelled the enemy: it confounds me that most people who have chosen to be vaccinated are insistent that others do so as well, instead of experiencing relief that they are at last safe. For how else must one interpret the cruelty now unfolding against the unvaccinated who must be unpeopled, segregated, brutalised, removed from the voters’ role, fined, dismissed, children sacrificed, robbed of their childhood and bullied at school?

Yet blaming and targeting the unvaccinated is as logical as the farmer spraying Roundup blaming his neighbouring organic farmer for his own super weeds.

Biology 101: a virus, cell, species evolves or mutates in order to overcome an obstacle, like what happens when you spray Doom or lay Rattex only to be faced later on with Doom-resistant flies and Rattex-resistant rodents. Further: whereas there is ongoing dispute around whether asymptomatic people (vaccinated or unvaccinated) can spread the virus (references: here, here, here & here) vaccinated people infected by the virus, currently in the majority (source), are as contagious as the unvaccinated (source).

Instead, blame lies squarely in their court, as in a hubristic, universal public health policy against which Geert Vanden Bossche warned right from the very beginning, namely, that conducting mass vaccination programmes with leaky non-sterilizing vaccines in the midst of a pandemic would breed ever more virulent and/or infectious viral strains. Clearly Vanden Bossche’s warning has come to pass.

Their fall-back claim that vaccines ensure you don’t fall seriously ill or die is second-hand-car-dealership talk because, as Dr Aditi Bhargava pointed out, then they should acknowledge, instead of outlaw, early treatment which yet again proves this is about exclusive rights to your and my immune systems. It’s not about health, at all.

And you think it’s going to end? Fat chance as Pfizer prepares to roll out a three-shot vaccine for Omicron alongside pending FDA approval to vaccinate infants, and in case that doesn’t whip humanity into line waiting in the wings is an HIV scare.

They seem dissociated: I often wonder who are these space-suited scientists genetically modifying mice, reprogramming mosquitoes and preparing the next shipment of technology to be injected into the arms of humanity?

Do they connect with or feel in any way responsible for possible or even probable side-effects from the vaccines? Does the anxiety of someone who took the jab and is now in some doctor’s waiting room touch them in any way? And I would direct the same question to the laptop executives in boardrooms, scenario planners and politicians playing wargames that have turned our planet into one giant hospital where we’re all mandated to be injected with vaccinal components and sequences none of us is able to monitor, modify or switch off.

I would like to ask whether they themselves have the faintest understanding of the technology they’re injecting into us? Yet most none calls a halt. Few admit they’re stumped, and that things are not working as hoped. Instead all we hear day after day is that the vaccines are safe. For me their hubris is terrifying. This cannot end well.

Not only are their vaccines not working, they are doing us harm: what follows is a list of possible consequences of the vaccine within a context where, as we have seen, regulatory authorities refuse to release data:

  • our immune systems are under siege: wave after wave of vaccination and booster-generated spike being manufactured beyond the mucosal barrier, far in excess of severely ill Covid patients, is harming healthy immune systems throughout the planet that would otherwise have combatted the virus naturally and by now have built herd immunity
  • key vaccinal adjuvants are allergenic for certain people: polyethylene glycol, (PEG) is an adjuvant (i.e. an additive intended to ‘enhances the body’s immune response’ OED) introduced to stabilise and facilitate the cellular uptake of mRNA but which is at the same time potentially highly inflammatory (Malone, 00:20:37 here), having caused anaphylaxis and cardiac collapse in animal experiments. PEG poses a hidden but high risk for approximately 2% of the population that might not know they’re allergenic, resulting in acute anaphylaxis (Stephanie Seneff and Greg Nigh, page 11) which, if we recall, had already become apparent during dodgy Pfizer trials that the CDC tried to suppress (see: ‘They downplayed deaths and serious side-effects at the start of the rollout’ above)
  • lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) containers could trigger breast cancer: the synthetic fatty containers for the mRNA have been shown to cause inflammation and swelling of the lymph gland in the armpit of some vaccinees thus posing a danger of axillary lymphadenopathy that, particularly for women, could develop into breast cancer (Seneff & Nigh, pages 8&9)
  • injected mRNA is still circulating months later: Robert Malone hypothesis that the pseudouridine they used to replace the uridines in the mRNA he invented might have been so successful in keeping the mRNA intact long enough to reach the spleen that mRNA breached the immune system’s early defences completely and instead of it breaking up after a few days as promised on the CDC website (refer the image below) mRNA and the lab-spike it’s generating the meanwhile, is still travelling the lymphatic system and beyond months later. (Röltgen et al via Malone here). Not a happy outcome.
The CDC assures humankind that vaccinal spike is harmless (note the bold)

  • lab-engineered spike is far more toxic that the real thing: the spike protein that injected mRNA instructs cells to manufacture in our bodies has been genetically engineered to stay open, and anchored to the surface of cells. This was achieved by replacing two adjacent amino acids with prolines, a highly inflexible amino acid. Pfizer and Thomson-Reuters fact-checkers claim the modification makes the spike safer. Not so, Robert Malone corrected, by underlining that ‘science is science’, and that their modification has in fact enhanced spike’s immunogenicity (Malone >32:08). Consequently instead of fusing, lab spike now attaches itself to ACE2 receptors wherever it can find them and remain docked weeks on end potentially causing harm (see also the next point)
  • instead of Covid being combatted at the periphery, lab spike is being mass-produced throughout our body: mRNA spreads throughout the body instructing cells it encounters to produce lab spike. Now consider this isn’t happening in the mucosal lining of our nose and throat where wild infection would strike and be combatted as part of natural infection (see ‘how our innate immune system goes about protecting us from the SARS-CoV-2 virus’, above). Instead this is happening in the ovaries (in fifth-place after injection site, liver, spleen and adrenal glands), testes (with reproductive implications), our brains (with neurological implications), and all over where cells are being instructed to create a toxin that will in itself likely cause endothelial damage (Mikolaj Raszek, here)
  • lab-spike tampers with blood pressure, and more: ACE2 play a critical role in regulating angiotensin II (ANGII), which is responsible for blood pressure and cellular water levels, inter alia, by restricting or dilating blood vessels. If ACE2 regulates well, then expect optimum blood pressure, and wound healing. But if ACE2 is prevented from doing its job because lab-spike has attached itself to ACE2 receptors then things go horribly wrong through overproduction of ANGII leading to restricted blood vessels, soaring blood pressure, systemic hypertension, myocarditis, strokes and heart failure (Krishna Sriram, Paul Insel and Rohit Loomba). Clearly Novak Djokovic did his homework
  • wave on wave of spike is confusing the immune system and runs the risk of priming self-reactive antibodies to attack host proteins: SARS-CoV-2 virus includes a number of sequences homologous with human protein, which explains why Covid 19 infections can trigger a range of cascading conditions including coronary arterial disease, strokes, and systemic hypertension (Seneff & Nigh, page 21). Wild spike contains almost all the aforementioned sequences as does lab-spike which the circulating mRNA instructs cells throughout the body to generate. First jab and our immune systems generate vaccinal antibodies to combat spike docked on the surface of the cell membrane. Second jab three weeks later, ditto. Three, four months pass and there’s a third wave of spike-generated antibodies being generated causing confusion as to their relationship to booster-spike, existing antibodies from the first and second jabs and/or human protein homologous with spike, thus potentially triggering cross-reactive antibodies pathologically primed to attack the liver, mitochondria, nervous and digestive systems, pancreas and blood platelets (Seneff & Nigh, page 15), and the consequential danger of hatching a range of autoimmune diseases that lead to low platelet counts, peripheral nerve damage, pernicious anaemia and lupus (ibid. pp 16-17)
  • the last two years have set the stage for antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) whereby the immune system assists rather than repels the virus: there is an increasing and real fear of a perfect storm: mass vaccination programmes driving newer more infectious or lethal variants, vaccinal antibodies not only unable to sterilise the virus but also rapidly waning in efficacy therefore requiring continual boosting resulting in a situation that invading viruses are able to exploit either directly through gaining cellular entry by exploiting gaps in the defence (Jesse Santiano & Seneff and Nigh, page 12)) or indirectly by exploiting cytotoxic inflammatory conditions in the wake of early infections leading to tissue damage and heightened infection, and unable to be cleared by a depleted immune system (Seneff and Nigh, page 13). How to understand ADE? Perhaps a useful metaphor is seeing the SARS-CoV-2 virus as a guerilla detachment that can exploit a vaccine-battered and therefore weakened immune system which finds exhausted sentries asleep at their posts with the gates wide open or vaccine-induced inflammation and tissue damage leading to heavily compromised diseased soldiers who become the entry point. What is the likelihood of ADE? Paul Offit says it can’t happen, Geert Vanden Bossche says it will happen if there’s mass vaccination against Omicron, and Paul Alexander believes that soaring infection rates and deaths among the vaccinated tell us it is already happening. In the end: man proposes, God disposes. See also: Derek Lowe & Edward Nirenberg
  • lab spike could be causing long-term prion-like diseases: research flowing from papers by Weickenmeier et al., Mueller et al., & J. Bart Classen suggest that vaccinal spike might be causing prion-like diseases (Seneff & Nigh, pages 22-5), in that lab-spike contains five prion-like motifs one of which is located in the proline region mentioned above (see: ‘lab-engineered spike is far more toxic that the real thing’ above) and is able to bind to host proteins inducing misfolding into prions. They argues that the pH balance in the spleen, accumulating spike and resultant inflammation create the perfect condition for hatching toxic prion oligomers which are then transported as exosomes up the vagus nerve to pathways in the brain causing widespread neurodegenerative disease manifesting over time as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (progressive weakness and muscle atrophy)
  • lab spike side-effects might be early signals of serious disease developing in the background: Seneff and Nigh contend that early Vaers reports of headaches, nausea, dizziness, encephalitis, blood clots, Bell’s palsy, anaphylaxis might be important cardio vascular and neurological signals that we downplay or ignore at our peril (Seneff & Nigh, page 22)
  • our innate immune system is being phased out: reports of the activation of latent herpes Zoster (shingles) on Vaers suggest that vaccinal antibodies are suppressing the innate immune system (Seneff & Nigh, page 21). Additionally bear in mind that ongoing lab-induced stimulation biases vaccinal antibodies over the innate immune system therefore perpetrating what is known as original antigenic sin thus putting humankind in grave danger if ever confronted by a vaccine-resistant variant with no plan B because our innate immune systems have been phased out. Apropos see this report: ‘Israeli SARS-CoV-2 Omicron cases surge, as do deaths while study reveals a fourth booster raises antibodies yet doesn’t appear to stop Omicron’
  • geneticists are playing God: given that the very virus with which we are now grappling is almost certainly lab-made – the smoking gun being research suggesting that the SARS-CoV-2 virus contains ‘proprietary (i.e. patented) sequences’ (K. Balamurali et al here) allegedly held by Moderna Therapeutics, Moderna TX, Cambia, CureVac AG and even Monsanto (references: Rose here and an interview with the CEO of Moderna here) – the spectre of reverse engineering causing chromosomal damage cascading downwards trans-generationally or any other genetically-engineered nightmare is a distinct possibility (Seneff & Nigh, pages 26-30). At issue is a paper that has just come out (Aldén et al, here) reporting that mRNA ‘reverse transcribes’ into DNA in the nucleus of liver cells (and, therefore, potentially, testes and ovaries with transgenerational implications), something the CDC assured vaccinees would never happen (see image below).

CDC assures vaccinees that mRNA won’t reverse-transcribe into DNA
  • vaccines are falling seriously short in a number of other ways: whereas the body’s natural immune response is immediate, vaccinal antibodies need two injections spread over weeks to come into their own leaving the vaccinee vulnerable to Covid, during the interim. Whereas the innate response is broader, longer lasting and against many different antigens present in the virus, vaccinal antibodies are not mucosal and only pinpoint the Covid virus’s spike protein but of an earlier variant, no longer circulating.

To illustrate some of the above:

  • consult this list of 1000 peer-reviewed studies questioning Covid-19 vaccine safety, published by Informed Choice Australia
  • visit Robert Malone’s website where he reports on, and references vaccine-associated deaths and disability in children and young adults
  • do the same with respect to Jessica Rose, who provides numbers (scroll down) with analysis of Vaers stats
  • read Rose’s consolidated finding of mortality among the very young based on coroners’ reports here
  • read these two most recent reports of three young children who died days after being vaccinated here and here
  • list on Twitter of people who died in their sleep here

Finally, I share four personal illustrations of possible vaccine-induced injuries. A family member suffered full-blown Covid after her first Pfizer shot. After her second she developed what she described as a bumpy heart diagnosed as arrhythmia and ascribed to ‘post-Covid’ (not ‘post-vaccine’!?). Months later her condition hasn’t changed and after yet another thorough medical assessment her diagnosis is now depression. Hers, I believe, is a template: dull humankind’s grief through mass medication (antidepressants and sleeping tablets). I received news of a second fully vaccinated family member being admitted to George hospital and diagnosed having suffered a series of mini-strokes. A few weeks previously a fully vaccinated friend died or a heart attack. The fourth instance was a distraught neighbour sharing that her perfectly fit father has recently been in and out of hospital but doesn’t want to consider vaccines might be the cause, although (his daughter reports), “I think he knows, because he’s heartbroken.”

They are not worthy

I’m hopeful that I was able to get across that, with respect to:

  • health: it is not the unvaccinated who were responsible for increasingly virulent or contagious variants, or are most at risk of vaccine-resistant variants that will clog ICU and morgues
  • policy: calls for universal mandatory vaccination has nothing to do with sound public-health policy, and everything to do with bending humankind to the will of the few
  • morality: defending one’s health against novel, experimental, proprietary gene technology developed by an industry that has proved its malfeasance over and over, and within a context where basic human rights and alternative medical protocols have been criminalised could hardly be deemed immoral
  • personal: those whom I’ve referenced are physicians, academics, scientists of the highest order who have been systematically maligned, side-lined, disbarred, de-licenced, cancelled and/or silenced by Big pharma, regulatory authorities, government, big tech, legacy and mainstream media in cahoots; hardly libertarianism, flag-waving Trumpists
  • cognition: those who reject vaccines do so based on thorough research, sound arguments and an unassailable logic grounded in reality as also awe and gratitude for a healthy immune system which they conscientiously nurture and train
  • science: these past two years have demonstrated the suppression and subversion of science, consequently there is no scientific consensus, let alone science

That said, the contents of this post stands for naught if no one bothers to read or even skim any of it. Everything above stands for naught if the powers that be manage to block the sharing thereof via social media and/or convince readers that facts and conclusions reached are faulty or the mad ravings of some misguided, alt-right conspiracy theorist from deep inside his rabbit hole.

For example it comes as no surprise that Drs Vanden Bossche, Malone, Rose have been discredited, as have most of the other sources I have referenced. One such critic is Orak (aka Dr David H. Gorski) whom you can access here. Gorski, like his fellow operators, spends a good deal of his time, in his words: ‘refuting pseudoscientific claims made by quacks, cranks, and antivaxers’, which no doubt refers equally to this post of mine.

Read Orak and all the fact-checkers with which Google presents you, but while doing so please note who are being fact-checked (Gates? Fauci? Pfizer? WEF? WHO? FDA? CDC? Guardian? Daily Maverick? Bhekisisa?), and the pattern: an authorial ad hominem denigrating superiority. A focus on one or two mostly minor or extraneous points in order to distract and assure readers nothing to see; move along now; alternatively to discourage, frighten, beat into submission anyone, like I, who experiences disquiet, a sense of foreboding and grief witnessing those whom he loves willingly trusting what he believes is an all-enveloping evil that has no conscience, tells lies, deceives and coerces us into accepting a world where we will be tagged and told what is good for us, like: the next jab, owning nothing and cold showers. Worse is the deep sense that our capitulation will pave the way for a transhuman future determined by those who control the algorithm, leaving each of us diminished, obedient and fearful of offending the machine and, on the etheric plane, an end to the flowering of consciousness on our planet, over which we hold custodianship thereby plunging the universe into utter darkness for aeons to come.

I have reached the above conclusion because it’s clear to me that they now know there is no bottom line so they can clamp down any time they decide. It’s also clear to me that we are not dealing with flesh and blood but with a mind or a presence against which Rudolph Steiner warned us when he appealed to parents and teachers not to encourage intellectualising before children have incarnated into their bodies. The result are the Justin Trudeaus of our world: poster boys and girls of the New Order, who practise in front of a mirror, and disapproving of lowly truckers who must be crushed one at a time for daring to protest by cutting off funding, freezing bank accounts, impounding and auctioning their means of keeping body and soul together. Finally it’s clear to me that if they succeed nothing will stand between each one of us and their power.

It is we who are doing this to ourselves, and our children.

Geert Vanden Bossche Warns of Covid-19 Vaccination Catastrophe

Our only hope of surviving vaccine-induced variants on the horizon is to honour, and keep building a healthy, responsive, robust innate immune system. This interview explains why and how

This transcription/interpretation/summary is offered as a companion to an interview conducted by Highwire podcaster, Del Bigtree, with vaccinologist, Dr Vanden Bossche.

Its aim is to provide text for those serious about understanding the pandemic. It provides clearly navigable sections, subsections and definitions for intelligent search, skimming, dipping into, reading and research, a timeline for cross referencing, a medium that enables copy and paste and, most importantly, hopefully, incentive to draw readers to watch the full interview and to share with their loved ones.

To help navigate, here are the main sections:

Who is Vanden Bossche, and what brought him to this point?

00:00 Del Bigtree introduces Geert Vanden Bossche: Hello Geert in Brussels, Belgium, and me in Austin, Texas. I wanted to put out a video that feels very intimate, because we’re going to get very intimate in this conversation. I’ve done several shows tracking what you have done over the last almost half a year. One such instance was in March of this year, when you put out a video from your own social media page warning the WHO (World Health Organisation) that there was a real problem with their approach towards the SARS Corona virus. I want to play it for the viewers:

Text of the soundtrack:

My dear colleagues at the WHO, my name is Geert Vanden Bossche. My background is veterinary medicine. I am a certified expert in microbiology and infectious diseases. I have a PhD in virology, and have a longstanding career in human vaccinology.

I’m urging you to immediately open the scientific debate on how human interventions in the Covid-19 pandemic are currently driving viral immune escape. I’m urging you to invite me for a scientific hearing open to the public and to the scientists all over the world on this very topic. Ignoring or denying the impact of stringent infection prevention measures combined with mass vaccination using prophylactic vaccines is a colossal blunder.

Please do listen to my cry of distress, and let’s first and foremost, deliberate on a scientifically justified strategy to mitigate the tsunami of morbidity and lethality that is now threatening us. And let’s, meanwhile, devise a strategy to eradicate the steadily emerging highly infectious variants. On behalf of humanity, I sincerely thank you for considering my call.

Read Vanden Bossche’s open written submission here

03:04: Bigtree wants viewers to appreciate that Vanden Bossche’s deep concerns, understandings, and outspokenness are grounded in practice, honed by research and guided by integrity; hence his line of questioning: I want to start with your background. What is it about your experiences that are giving a different perspective from what we’re hearing for other world-renowned scientists?

03:21: translational medicine is a myth: It has more to do with what I decided 10 to 12 years ago when I decided I would take a completely different approach to science, using it as a tool to solve real-world problems rather than an end in itself. At the time I had been worked in both academia and in industry and had started thinking of these two different worlds that both start with the letter ‘p’: the world of the publications – which is what counts in academia, and the world of products – which is what counts in industry. And in-between everybody talks about translational medicine.

My background is veterinary medicine, which is very broad and diversified; I specialised in virology, vaccinology and immunology in industry and zoonosis, (note: definitions for underlined words have been provided at the end of the paragraph in question; credit, unless otherwise indicated, is the Oxford English Dictionary (OED)) and which I taught at university, and evolutionary biology – all of which have to do with the interactions between a pathogen and the host’s immune system. (Zoonosis: disease which can be transmitted to humans from animals | pathogen: a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease | immune system: organs and processes of the body that provide resistance to infection and toxins: the thymus, bone marrow, and lymph nodes.)

05:29: academia pays no attention to the population effect: you need to draw from multiple fields of study in order to understand the evolutionary capacity of a pathogen when it is put under widespread immune pressure. This process is called the population effect, which doesn’t feature at all in clinical studies. (Put under widespread immune pressure: the host’s immune response puts pressure on a pathogen to mutate in order to overcome thereby escape this response (my interpretation gleaned from this paper)).

05:47: industry is industry & academia is academia, and ne’er the twain shall meet: I was so fed up that we put many products in the pipeline in industry without understanding their interaction and how they work. I was so fed up in academia in that all that counts is to be published. We need to connect both spheres because otherwise we find ourselves exactly in our current situation where we release products without understanding what’s going on, without understanding the pandemic. You know my point. I’m 200% convinced this is going to lead to a catastrophe.

06:22: Bigtree probes: why put your career in jeopardy? you’ve worked for Gavi (The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations) on the Ebola vaccine programme, and with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Now obviously you didn’t start out to put your career in jeopardy. You must have reached out to your peers at the WHO, at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, at Gavi. How did you reach out, and what was the response?

06:52: “Geert you’re right but nobody’s going to listen to you because you go against the mainstream”: I reached out at least three times to all the global health authorities, public health authorities, CDC (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention), NIH (National Institutes of Health), Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, WHO. I maybe got one or two anonymous responses including one of the world’s if not the world’s most famous vaccinologist (Vanden Bossche didn’t want to divulge his or her name) who told me: “Geert you’re right. These vaccines are just going to breed variants but nobody is going to listen to you because you go against the mainstream.”
Imagine! Imagine! It is just – I have no words for this. I have no words for this.

07:50: were you surprised? were you surprised when you got no response? Was this the first time you reached out to these people?

07:48: déjà vu (the Ebola story in West Africa was the same): no I was not surprised. Ebola. It was the same. But that was small scale, the countries in West Africa.

Vanden Bossche helped coordinated the Ebola programme in West Africa as part of Gavi, in collaboration with the WHO, Unicef and the CDC

I helped coordinate the Ebola programme, part of which was the vaccines, but not just the vaccines, also the number of measures needing to be taken to control the Ebola crisis in collaboration with WHO, and Unicef (United Nations Children’s Fund) and the CDC by strengthening health measures, etc. So it was collaboration between all these international health authorities. But since I came from the vaccine field I was particularly interested in the vaccines that would be deployed.

08:57: Bigtree focuses the discussion: but what was that issue, when it came to evaluating the effectiveness of the vaccine and the safety of the vaccine?

09:03: in North Africa they administered an often inflammatory-inducing vaccine for a lethal inflammatory virus, but only started measuring the effect of the vaccine after 10 days: basically it came down to the naïve interpretation of those who were conducting the study, where the incubation period of Ebola is approximately 10 days, and their decision to postpone clinical observations until after (the virus’s) incubation period had expired, but then, inexplicably, in addition to the index case, also to vaccinate contacts, instead of using them as the control group – the end-point of the study being, to establish vaccine efficacy so many days after administering the vaccination. (Incubation period: the period between exposure to an infection and the appearance of the first symptoms | index case: the first identified case in a group of related cases of a particular communicable or heritable disease | control group: a group acting as a control in an experiment; especially a group of people participating in a study or trial who, typically without their knowledge, serve as a control by not being given the treatment being tested.)

On top of a virus that often causes death from a huge inflammatory cytokine storm they administered a vaccine comprising a live vector that often induces strong inflammatory cytokines which could prove fatal

But the vaccine that were administering was a live vector which, everybody knows, and I come from the (indistinct) field (09:47), is very-very strong in inducing inflammatory cytokines And if you study the pathogenesis of Ebola you will learn that people often also die from a huge inflammatory cytokine storm. (Inflammatory: relating to or causing inflammation of a part of the body | cytokines: any of a number of substances, such as interferon, interleukin, and growth factors, which are secreted by certain cells of the immune system and have an effect on other cells | pathogenesis: the manner of development of a disease.)

The potential of a perfect storm: vaccine and disease coming together

So what do you think happens? Almost none of them made it till day 10, before they started the observation.

10:50: flabbergasted, Bigtree makes sure he understands Geert completely: let me get this straight. They know the incubation of Ebola to be about 10 days so they identify and vaccinate the index case, they then also identify and vaccinate everybody who had come in contact with the original person (i.e. they ring vaccinate the index case).

In addition to the index case they vaccinated the contacts, instead of using the latter as the control group. They also postponed clinical observations until after the virus’s 10-day incubation period had expired. Almost none of them made it till day 10, after which they started the observation.

But they then decide: ‘let’s ignore any data for the first 10 days because we know that if an event is going to happen within those first 10 days we don’t want it to contaminate the final result’. But now what you’re saying is they administered an inflammatory vaccine to people who were potentially incubating a highly inflammatory disease. That’s what we know. They’re haemorrhaging, they have issues, you are then creating a perfect storm with these two things (vaccine on top of the disease) coming together, where, obviously – if someone’s already had a haemorrhagic disease of huge cytokines also driven by the vaccine – then those people are going to die. So did you ask to see any data, because obviously there were deaths happening that weren’t making it into the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of this product? Did you reach out to the WHO to say, can I see the data before the 10 days?

12:04: research concluded that the Ebola vaccine was 100% efficient. I immediately knew something was very wrong: The question was very-very simple: we just wanted to have the case fatality rate of the whole period from the very beginning – as of day zero from the vaccination – so we could compare the case fatality rates of the vaccinees with that of the placebo. (Case fatality rate: the proportion of cases of a disease or condition that are fatal within a specified period of time | placebo: a substance that has no therapeutic effect, used as a control in testing new drugs.)

I was working with Gavi at the time, and asked that question of the WHO. We never got the results. We were told they were confidential.
And then I remember I was on vacation and my boss sent me this paper in the Lancet (Efficacy and effectiveness of an rVSV-vectored vaccine in preventing Ebola virus disease: final results from the Guinea ring vaccination, open-label, cluster-randomised trial (Ebola Ça Suffit!)) (see below), which reported vaccine efficacy as 100%

The research paper published in Lancet reported the vaccine efficacy as 100%. Vanden Bossche knew immediately something was wrong

I immediately knew something was very wrong.

But of course Ebola was small scale, only in West Africa. But I’m sharing this to demonstrate that now isn’t the first time that I’m taking a deep dive into such things. And it’s because I cannot stand, firstly, that the science is being violated and, secondly – that this is more than about freedom, conspiracy theories or side effect, although side-effects are important – what we’re now dealing with is a global health drama that affects every single human being.

Understanding one’s natural immune system

13:38: what if there had been no vaccine and matters had simply run their course: we would have had a pandemic; a natural pandemic which – because this is not a childhood disease – would primarily or almost exclusively have affected the vulnerable: the elderly who have an aging immune system, or people with underlying diseases, or are otherwise immune suppressed.

The only way to calm down a pandemic is through cutting down transmission and the only way to cut down transmission is through herd immunity. (Herd immunity: resistance to the spread of an infectious disease within a population that is based on pre-existing immunity of a high proportion of individuals as a result of previous infection or vaccination.)

So we would have had a couple of waves. Some people would have died depending on what would have been the possibilities of treatments for the vulnerable; while at no stage would younger people have developed asymptomatic infection (15:19). Then, of course, you have in-between people who would not have sufficient innate immunity to be protected against the disease. Those people would have got the disease, recovered and then acquired a long-lived immunity from the disease. (Asymptomatic: only see the antigen for a few days so your immune system is not truly primed (Vanden Bossche).)

The virus would not have been eradicated within one year but would most likely have been under control due, to a large extent, to the innate immunity that all youngsters and people in good health have.

16:02: innate antibodies: comprise our pre-existing antibodies pre-primed at birth to act as our first line of defence. Innate antibodies are found in every vertebrate species (frogs, birds, fish, mammals, reptiles), which tells us how important they are from an evolutionary standpoint but have been completely neglected when it comes to our understanding of the virus and its spread. We are talking antibodies that protect all young children and people in good health from disease, which then tells us that SARS-CoV-2 is not a childhood disease. (Antibodies: a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances which the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.)

17:41 naturally acquired antibodies: comprise antibodies generated when coming into contact with an antigen. The cells that generate these innate antibodies we call B1 cells. B1 cells are different from B cells that generate naturally acquired antibodies (18:14) or antigen-specific antibodies, and which have a high affinity for a specific antigen, are long-lived and acquired when we talk about exposure to SARS and other infections and diseases. Once you have acquired and then recovered from the disease they have long longevity. And even if they disappear they generate immunological memory so can be recalled very rapidly, because as soon as the body is re-exposed to the virus or sees the antigen again, within no time, because they are memory cells, will again start to produce naturally acquired antibodies that will then protect them. (Antigen: a toxin or other foreign substance which induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies.)

21:25 cellular immunity explained: here we’re talking, for instance, T-cells (acquired immunity). But the innate system also includes the natural cellular component, for example the natural K-cells (natural killer cells). So it’s even more complex. For instance we have effectors (antibodies or cells) that go about neutralising the virus or germ or killing the virus-infected cells. If the virus is too powerful to be killed or neutralised by your antibodies (innate or acquired) the effector cells can still bind to the virus thereby facilitate the entry of that virus into antigen-presenting cells which then cut the virus into bits so that different pieces can be properly presented to the T or K-cells, which means both compartments can work together (antibody part and cellular part) to neutralise a free-floating virus or a virus inside the cell, which is what killer cells do, they kill virus-infected cells. (Antigen-presenting cells: any cell that assists in the production of immune responses by presenting antigen; especially any of several types of cell with monocytic lineage that present antigen in association with class II MHC molecules, to helper T lymphocytes.)

23:06: difference between prevention of infection and prevention of disease: once the virus is inside and destroying the cell you’re then predisposes to the disease. But if you then have killer cells that can kill those virus-infected cells, they will enable you to recover from the disease; whereas if you have functional antibodies which can readily neutralise the virus as it enters you can prevent the infection of the cell in the first place.

(See also 02:01:26 under the section headed ‘Reaching for a fuller understanding of the innate immune system’. Additionally you are referred to the addendum to this post of slides made available by Vanden Bossche for sharing: ‘According to the science, no single C-19 vaccine mandate can be justified, on the contrary!’. Thirdly there’s an excellent 20-minute video on Vanden Bossche’s website: The only fight you should have, is the fight for your health which will provide further explication while simultaneously underpinning how important one’s natural innate immune system is for survival against Covid.)

Why mass vaccination in the midst of a pandemic is a colossal blunder

26:04: why the vaccine rollout will prove a disaster: I’m just going to repeat this because this is literally what I said at the very-very beginning and will lead to the explanation to your question: never ever use vaccines that do not induce sterilizing immunity to do mass vaccination in the midst of a pandemic. (Sterilize: make (something) free from bacteria or other living microorganisms | immunity: the ability of an organism to resist a particular infection or toxin by the action of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells (OED) and, combined as a concept: kills the virus (my sense))

Normally if you get infected there’s a viral load due to the infection and then almost after you have transmitted the virus – very often it’s like this – the antibodies start to bounce. Consequently the peak of the virus is reached after the viral replication has already taken place. So the antibodies you generate can no longer put this new virus or variant under immune pressure. It’s already gone, almost, by the time these antibodies mount. (Bounce: unsure what is meant here, possibly, become active | viral replication: the process by which genetic material or a living organism gives rise to a copy of itself | mount: organize and initiate (a campaign or other course of action))

So if you are vaccinating people during a pandemic, it means that the antibodies are mounting while they can be confronted with the new virus. There you start to put immune pressure on the virus. So the combination of massive vaccination programmes across the entire population in the midst of a pandemic can only lead to natural selection of the fittest – and because many people are in a similar situation – the variant that can overcome the pressure will, of course, be enriched in the population and ultimately become the dominant variant. (Natural selection of the fittest: the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin, and it is now regarded as be the main process that brings about evolution, compared with ‘survival of the fittest’: the continued existence of organisms which are best adapted to their environment, with the extinction of others, as a concept in the Darwinian theory of evolution. )

There are many studies that confirm this hypothesis of mine. For instance, this paper from Canada: Canada’s COVID-19 status: Delta variant sparking ‘increased disease activity’, provinces need to be careful about reopening, top officials say where they introduced mass vaccination, and in August they had 50% of the Delta variant circulating, one month later the virus was 100% Delta.

So we have never ever been saying that these more infectious variants were generated by vaccines or mass vaccination. No, they were already circulating. They existed already. But within a short timeframe, what mass vaccination has done is generate an excellent breeding ground for these more infectious variants, so now their propagation has exploded. This explosion is therefore directly attributable to mass vaccination.

29:10: Bigtree’s killer-whale/shark analogy: I have an analogy that I want to run by you. It’s not that it’s mutating, as in growing arms and legs and things like that, it’s that you’re just selecting a variant that’s already there but it wasn’t the popular one, it wasn’t the dominant variant. The dominant was the more mild form of the illness. So in my analogy imagine you’re a scuba diver and you’re going swimming in the ocean and there are killer whales in the ocean. Now the killer whales we know rarely attack human beings but on an odd rare occasion they’ve been known to be hungry and decided to attack a human being. There are also sharks in the ocean. Sharks we know love to attack human beings and do it all the time. They’re much more dangerous to human beings. But killer whales out-compete sharks. They can eat a shark so you don’t usually find sharks and killer whales in the same water. But if the scuba diver decides: I’m afraid of the killer whales and that rare risk that I could be killed by them, and wipes them out, what you’re doing is taking away that environment where they’re outcompeting the shark. Now the sharks come in because there are no killer whales around and now the sharks become much more dangerous to the scuba driver. They’re the more dangerous variant. Now all we have left is sharks and now all of us are in danger of getting in the water. Is that it, sort of?

30:45: Vanden Bossche strengthens Bigtree’s metaphor: that analogy would be stronger if the weapon the scuba diver is using can only take out killer whales. The weapon doesn’t work for the sharks. It only works for the killer whales. That weapon is the immune system of course. The sharks can resist, the killer whales cannot resist.

The counter logic: we’ll vaccinate ourselves out of this pandemic

31:40: Bigtree wanting to play devil’s advocate, first checks whether Vanden Bossche knows Dr Paul Offit: I want to play a clip by a guy named ZDogg who does an internet talk show and he interviewed a very famous doctor here, Dr Paul Offit. I guess he’s a virologist. He’s invented vaccines or made vaccines. I’m not sure if you’ve ever come in contact with Paul Offit.

32:00: Vanden Bossche confirms Offit is a world-renowned vaccinologist: he’s very well-known because he’s one the editors of the most famous vaccine book (Plotkin’s vaccines) together with Stan Plotkin and Walt Orenstein. You cannot not know him.

32:17: Bigtree plays the clip of ZDoggMD (Dr Zubin Damania) interviewing Offit: OK, so he’s a big deal. He’s your equal peer. He’s asked about your theory on pressuring the virus and making it deadly, and this whole thing you’ve been worried about, and this is what he had to say in this interview:

‘So there’s a guy, Geert Vanden Bossche … 32:32-34:40

Text of the soundtrack:

[Zubin] So there’s a guy, Geert Vanden Bossche. Have you heard about this guy? Yeah, so apparently, a virologist in Europe, his premise, and you can maybe explain it better than me is that, oh, by vaccinating during a pandemic, we’re putting pressure on the virus to emerge – vaccine escape variants – and that we’ve primed our immune system. Therefore, follow-up vaccines won’t be very effective. Something along those lines to paraphrase. Am I paraphrasing that right? And what do you think about this? ‘Cause it has a grip on the public, this idea.

[Paul] With what evidence? I mean, you have for example, you have measles. We’ve had a measles vaccine since the early 1960s. Measles is like this virus, a single stranded RNA virus,. Measles, like this virus, does mutate, nonetheless, despite 60 years of measles vaccine, we have not seen strains generated that resist immunity from vaccination. I mean, flu is different, flu mutates on a daily basis. I mean, that virus is a moving target. This virus also mutates but much slower than, say, influenza does, we’ll see. I mean, the notion that you’re creating, you’ve created a population, either from natural infection or immunization that is likely to have several years of protection. That’s a good thing. And although this virus may mutate to the point that it escapes recognition by current immunity from vaccination immunization, then you come up with a second generation vaccine. That’s what you do. I don’t think that’s gonna happen actually. I think that the virus has probably seen already about 12,000 mutations on this virus already. I mean, and I think you may get to the point, if they’re resisting all immunity, meaning, it’s as if you never got the vaccine, you’d never gotten actually taken. I think that’s probably a lethal mutation.

[Zubin] Yeah, so in other words, you’re running the runway out on the virus’s ability to change itself.

[Paul] Lethal to the virus, not lethal to us.

[Zubin] That’s right, lethal to the virus, right. And so, within that parameter, then I think, again, it’s another compelling reason to just go and get vaccinated now.

34:43: Bigtree challenges Vanden Bossche: “Offit says you’re wrong”: he says just like measles this is a single strand virus, that we’ll achieve immunity the same way we do with measles, he says the flu mutates faster, every day, he said, but the Corona virus is not as fast. I find it ironic that in the end he says it’s mutated 12,000 times, that would mean there are 12,000 variants or something, which, to a lay person, sounds like a lot but I don’t know. But what do you reckon? In the end, he says, we’re going to have immunity for several years and should there be a another variant all we’ll have to do is make a new vaccine to deal with that new variant and we’re good to go. That seems to be the thinking of almost every scientist working for governments around the world. Where do you differ from that perspective?

34:42: Vanden Bosch provides a long list of reasons why current measures in place to combat SARS-CoV-2 are unprecedented and that render Offit’s offence void: Have you ever seen mass vaccination across all age groups against measles? We vaccinate children against measles. Why? It’s because measles is a childhood disease. And remember about the innate antibodies. Measles is one of the most infectious viruses we know that immediately breaks through the innate immunity, so if you don’t come with a vaccine you cannot stop this thing. Second, what I also said, never ever vaccinate with vaccines that do not block transmission during a pandemic of a highly mutable virus. Measles is not a highly mutable virus. It can be an (indistinct) virus but not highly mutable. Influenza is. Were you to attempt mass vaccinations against flu with vaccines that cannot block transmission you’ll end up with exactly the same situation. We’re not comparing the same things. What’s happening now with respect to Covid is dissimilar to the flu. We have herd immunity with flu so from time to time immunity weakens, followed by a breakthrough but, guess what, as soon as flu starts to spread it encounters young people who have very good innate immunity who will block and eliminate the virus or encounter people who were previously ill and who have mounted long-lived broad spectrum antibodies against the flu. Now is completely different. We have never done mass vaccination of measles across all age groups. (Mutable: liable to change. )

38:20: the vaccination rule: you only vaccinate vulnerable people, for instance, children against measles, and the elderly against SARS-Cov-2. Had we followed the current regime back in the 60s with measles, we would most likely have encountered the self-same problem. The other difference (between measles and SARS) is that the measles vaccine is a live vaccine (live, as in an attenuated or weakened form of the germ that causes the disease) which strongly stimulates innate immunity and that can therefore induce sterilizing immunity. This doesn’t mean you can eradicate measles – we had the same with polio which was also a live-attenuated vaccine which failed to eradicate the polio virus, as you can still have transmission by asymptomatic people. But we will be able to control polio much more easily. Why, because you’ll have a lot more immune stimulation that sterilizes with a live vaccine; whereas the current crop of vaccines for Covid with antibodies cannot control the infection and the transmission, whereas innate immunity can. This is why innate immunity is so super-efficient. So had we a live virus (instead of mRNA) our vaccines would have been a lot more efficient.

42:20: in summary:

  1. SARS-CoV-2, generally speaking, is a highly mutable virus whereas the measles virus is less mutable
  2. the vaccines are different: live, for measles, which induces a strong immune response that mostly neutralizes the virus vs a largely non-sterilizing mRNA, as newer more infectious SARS-CoV-2 variants are discovered
  3. measles targeted the vulnerable whereas our current vaccine rollout is across the board thus causing immune pressure and new variants

43:15: yes, but by then they’ll come up with a new vaccine, Bigtree counters: Geert, Paul Offit says it doesn’t really matter if you’re right or not because even if we have selected for a variant and at some point that variant becomes the dominant strain, at that point we’ll come up with a new vaccine that handles the future variant, end of problem. Why is that an issue? That seems to be what the FDA and everybody is counting on. We’ve seen the studies that say this variant is getting problematic: Oxford researcher confident Covid vaccines can be adapted to protect against future virus strains & Future Delta variant mutations seem to elude vaccine antibodies and consequently we may need a new vaccine. Why are you worried that’s not going to happen? That is clearly what they say is going to happen. So why won’t that save us?

43:55: again, I’m always repeating: do not mass vaccinate with non-sterilizing vaccines during a pandemic: what Paul Offit is alluding to is the influenza strategy. And again, I’m always repeating: do not vaccinate with non-sterilizing vaccines during a pandemic, as you are loading your gun while on the battlefield, while already being attacked. If you do this before you get attacked there’s no problem because after infection the antibodies speak, so you’re not putting the virus under pressure. But now you’re vaccinating people without giving them quarantine until they have full-fledged antibodies, you don’t tell them: stay at home for at least six weeks because you need your first shot, you need your second and it’s going to take a full six weeks before you have full-fledged antibodies. These people go out and the next day or week they can get reattacked by the virus. Why? First of all it’s a pandemic. Second, we are now dealing with a new pandemic. This is a pandemic of a highly infectious variant. This is a pandemic of the Delta. Again, the conditions are not fulfilled, as in comparing apples with oranges.

Research backs the Vanden Bossche hypothesis

46:37: what if one day there’s a pathogen no vaccine can stop: you would like to see us stop this mass vaccination campaign because it’s causing the pressure you’re talking about, and Paul Offit’s approach with mass vaccination is going to create a variant that each time we then vaccinate we’re going to create a more and more infectious problem. Is the fear that one day there’ll be a pathogen that no vaccine can stop? Is that basically the concern?

47:01: research clearly points to a future of vaccine-resistant pathogens: when I read peer-reviewed journals from molecular epidemiologists, right, I mean they’re simply predicting this, and I cannot understand, it’s like I’m telling these things, but if you don’t mind, I can give you citations. Peer-reviewed papers from Harvard Medical School, the Dana-Faber Cancer Institute, MIT, etc., for instance: Risk of rapid evolutionary escape from biomedical interventions targeting SARS-CoV-2 protein

‘Vaccines that do not provide sterilizing immunity (and therefore continue to permit transmission) will lead to the build-up of large standing populations of virus, greatly increasing the risk of immune escape’

There are statements like:

When nABs (neutralising antibodies) are broadly present in the population, population-level selection for antibody-evading, infection-competent viral mutants may result in a rapid resurgence of SARS-CoV-2 infections

This is what we’re seeing right now: a resurgence of the infections globally and therefore an increase in in-effectivity. Further:

Evidence from multiple experimental studies […] suggests that specific single mutants may be able to evade spike-targeting vaccinal immunity in many individuals and rapidly lead to a spread of vaccine-resistant SARS-CoV-2.

One variant that can escape convalescent plasma neutralization is already circulating in South Africa and could experience greater positive selection pressure once vaccines are deployed widely.

Finally, the overall size of the pandemic in terms of numbers of active infections will play a significant role in whether the virus can be brought under control with nAb prophylactics or vaccines. The speed at which nAb resistance develops in the population increases substantially as the number of infected individuals increases, suggesting that complementary strategies to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission that exerts specific pressure on other proteins (e.g., antiviral prophylactics) or that do not exert a specific selective pressure on the virus (e.g., high-efficiency filtration, masking, ultraviolet air purification) are key to reducing the risk of immune escape.

In this context, vaccines that do not provide sterilizing immunity (and therefore continue to permit transmission) will lead to the build-up of large standing populations of virus, greatly increasing the risk of immune escape.

There are other publication – I don’t want to take too much of your time – where it is very-very clear that I’m not the only one. I’m probably the only one who dares to speak up but world class molecular epidemiologists are very well aware and were warning us at the beginning, for instance this one published 25 July 2021: The emergence and ongoing convergent evolution of N501Y lineages coincides with a major global shift in the SARS-CoV-2 selection landscape [J] 50:28 which finds that:

‘The emergence and rapid rise in prevalence of (the alpha, beta, gamma variants)…prompted renewed concerns about the evolutionary capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to adapt to both rising populations immunity, and public health interventions such as vaccines and social distancing…as a consequence, all have gained epidemiological and immunological properties that will likely complicate the control of Covid-19’

The emergence and rapid rise in prevalence of three independent SARS-CoV-2 “501Y lineages”, B.1.1.7, B.1.351 and P.1., (i.e. alpha, beta, gamma) in the last three months of 2020 prompted renewed concerns about the evolutionary capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to adapt to both rising populations immunity, and public health interventions such as vaccines and social distancing. as a consequence., all have gained epidemiological and immunological properties that will likely complicate the control of Covid-19. 50:49.

As a consequence all have gained epidemiological and immunological properties that will likely complicate the control of Covid-19.

So this is not new. People know. People have seen even before we started the mass vaccination where the virus was most likely under heavy infectious pressure already because it was present in highly populated areas, for example, South Africa or Brazil. But this pressure was directed against the spike protein, and it’s been shown that the many mutations in the S-protein have been driven by immune selection pressure exerted by the population. Now guess what. We are now coming with a vaccine the target of which is the spike protein, and the spike protein is the target of the infectiousness. Consequently I’m exerting immune pressure on top of the pressure that existed before the mass vaccination; I’m therefore exerting pressure on the infectiousness of the virus. That is what S is doing, namely, making the virus infectious. So then, if that is the case, I would expect an explosion of more infectious viruses, and that is exactly what we are seeing.

52:29: Bigtree is gobsmacked: why doesn’t Paul Offit (the WHO etc.) know this?

52:35: with due respect, world-renowned experts are now making big-big mistakes because they’re not doing their homework, or because they cannot draw from all these different fields – so they have no right to speak: I don’t know. I’m under the impression that sometimes – this is my personal impression – the establishment (experts in particular disciplines) thinks, well, we have made it. I’ve made my reputation, my career, and based just on my knowledge, I’m going to draw conclusions. If you are tackling a very complex problem like a pandemic and you intervene with preventative measures like vaccines then you can afford to leave stones unturned, then, for sure, this is a recipe to make big-big mistakes. But with due respect, world-renowned professors are now making big-big mistakes because they’re not doing their homework, or because they cannot draw from all these different fields: immunology, virology, vaccinology, evolutionary biology, and if there’s one field that is missing because you think you are a virologist and not an immunologist and think you can explain this from the viewpoint of virology only then you have no right to speak.

Natural versus vaccinal immunity

54:18: how far can we trust natural immunity as opposed to vaccinal: you concede in earlier exchanges that people with natural immunity are being re-infected, even though studies out of Israel are showing there is long-lived, robust protection from natural immunity, vide: A 1 to 1000 SARS-CoV-2 reinfection proportion in members of a healthcare provider in Israel: a preliminary report

‘This study demonstrates that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity’

This study demonstrates that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity

Natural immunity is clearly far better than vaccinated immunity, yet you have been pretty vocal about your concern about reinfection. So what are you saying that’s different from what we’re seeing in the studies from Israel, saying it’s less than 1%, virtually non-existent, this reinfection problem? Are they the same problem? Explain it to me.

55:58: we need to distinguish between symptomatic and asymptomatic infections: let me correct that impression. I am most certainly not against naturally-acquired immunity. But there are two things. First of all, the reason people get re-infected is because after asymptomatic infection you develop short-lived antibodies. Remember the study in Brazil, Brazil city/might have reached herd immunity and, guess what, a few months thereafter they had the second huge wave. The problem is that many must have developed asymptomatic infection which would have lasted a few weeks versus those who contracted the disease and developed the long-lasting antigen-specific antibodies with memory and who were of course protected. Therefore we need to distinguish between symptomatic (long-lived) versus asymptomatic (only see the antigen for a few days so your immune system is not truly primed) infections.

58:25: diving deeper: we understand the problem with the vaccine, referencing: CDC: Covid vaccines won’t stop the transmission; fully vaccinated can still get, spread Delta strain, namely, it doesn’t stop the infection, it doesn’t stop the transmission, it doesn’t neutralise the virus and therefore just creates pressure allowing it to be a breeding ground and so, in some circumstances – as this vaccine is pressuring – and we’ve created this unnatural world, we really want as many people not to come in contact with it or, at least, to be asymptomatic so they still have this innate immunity in place. Are we in a situation where innate immunity is preferential compared to the naturally acquired immunity?

01:01:26: innate immunity should be understood as broader than purely pre-existing immunity and less specific than our acquired immunity: well certainly for this type of disease, which is not a childhood disease and typically the innate immunity is more than sufficient, in fact, the acquired immunity is only very important where you have a situation where the innate immunity is not sufficient.

I wanted to make a small correction to what you’re saying: the vaccinal antibodies can also neutralise, the problem is that their neutralising capacity is limited because the S-protein in the vaccine is different from the protein in the circulating strain, whereas the innate antibodies from a natural infection provide an immediate update because you get infected by the most relevant variant that is circulating and, secondarily, your innate antibodies prime in a much more efficient way to encompass the diversity of variants which your immune system will recognise. It’s therefore a more immediate, relevant and comprehensive ‘update’ than induced in vaccinal antibodies.

01:02:54: I don’t want to make things complicated but it is somewhere between the purely pre-existing protection that has no memories and broadly-protective and cross-protective, and the one that is acquired, which is very specific and has memory. You have something in-between. All this is documented. These are like innate antibodies that have already some kind of maturation – not really memory – that are a little bit narrower in what they recognise. And people who keep in good shape, have this kind of innate, trained immunity.

People who keep in good shape have an immune system that is constantly updating with information on the newest variants in circulation and therefore offers protection more immediate, relevant and comprehensive than that induced by vaccinal antibodies.

Mass vaccination is causing a catastrophe of an order of magnitude completely unprecedented

01:03:39: immunity of the healthy unvaccinated will very shortly outpace that of the vaccinated: I tell you, everybody can write this down: the immunity of the unvaccinated will become better and better thanks to training; as they’re continuously confronted with the virus.
This you will see and you can already see in the graphs published by Public Health England, Case rates by vaccination status for weeks 33-36 vs weeks 38-41 | Public Health England where the

The immunity of the unvaccinated will become better and better thanks to training; as they’re continuously confronted with the virus

efficacy or the number of diseased people remains more or less the same among the vaccinees but in the non-vaccinated you start seeing the number of infected people beginning to slow down. This is because their immunity, whether trained or preexisting, is a sterilizing immunity which strengthens over time with further exposure to the virus thus strengthening the immune system. And if there are fewer infections among the unvaccinated then, of course, you’ll get fewer disease cases, and you’ll see the number of disease cases in the unvaccinated dropping – and this applies also to the children – you will see, even though we continue the mass vaccination, trained innate immunity (in children and adults) bringing down the infection rate.

So guess what? These experts who don’t understand anything about the evolutionary dynamics of the pandemics are saying, yes we have low disease cases for the kids but we need to vaccinate them because they are having a tremendous impact on transmission, refer: CDC recommends paediatric Covid-19 vaccine for children 5 to 11 years. Of course they do, but as these young people hone their innate immunity they’ll out-compete children with short-lived (vacinal) antibodies

As young people hone their innate immunity they’ll out-compete children with short-lived vaccinal antibodies

This you will see demonstrated in the publication of Public Health England where, in the left panel, in the first three columns (under 39)

In the first three columns (under 39) you see the effect of the vaccine on infection, where there are fewer vaccinees infected than non-vaccinated. Under the age of 30 or 40, even, the vaccine has a dramatic effect on the reduction of transmission. But wait a bit (see the next graph)

you see the effect of the vaccine on infection, where there are fewer vaccinees infected than non-vaccinated. Under the age of 30 or 40, even, the vaccine has a dramatic effect on the reduction of transmission. But let’s wait for one month as the innate immunity of the unvaccinated gets trained by the circulating virus, and then look at the graph in the right pane:

One month later as the innate immunity of the unvaccinated gets trained by the circulating virus in the age group 30-39 it’s the unvaccinated that are experiencing fewer infections

Now in the age group 30-39 it’s the unvaccinated that are experiencing fewer infections, 18-29 it’s more or less the same, whereas in the very young there’s little advantage in not being vaccinated. But this is only because their immune systems are new to the world and, therefore, with little exposure to antigens, so yes, it appears on the surface that there’s a major advantages by being vaccinated. But wait, I tell you, track this in a month or so, and in the 18 age-group you’ll find it’ll be in the favour of the unvaccinated thanks to their trained innate immunity with its sterilizing advantage and also, over time, the very young.

01:07:52: vaccinating young people is going to cause a major disaster: if we are going to vaccinate these young people we are going to rob them of their sterilizing immune capacity, which then means we can completely forget about herd immunity. Can you imagine the medium to long-term consequences of suppressing humankind’s innate immunity on a permanent basis, because this is exactly what we’ll be doing if we immunize young children? Secondly, we will be creating a breeding ground for the most infectious strains thereby speeding up resistance to any vaccines in the pipeline. Thirdly, when the day comes – which will be sooner than later – when the latest variant outflanks the vaccine (i.e. the arrival of a vaccine-resistant variant), the innate antibodies of the vaccinated will be completely suppressed, and their acquired antibodies through vaccination, worthless. Can you imagine what that will mean for individual health and population health? This is just going to be a major disaster.

1:09:11: FDA’s authorisation of vaccines for children: Bigtree plays a short clip from the FDA meeting that authorised vaccines for young children (FDA: Vaccines and related biological products advisory committee October 26, 2021), of one of the committee members, Dr Eric Rubin, concluding:

We’re never going to learn about how safe the vaccine is, unless you start giving it. Yea, that’s just the way it goes. (see the screen capture below)

We’re never going to learn about how safe the vaccine is, unless you start giving it. Yea, that’s just the way it goes

01:09:48: the current vaccination policy’s devastating endpoint: You can talk about many-many things. You can of course talk about all the side-effects, and what they’re now saying, yea, we’re using human beings – even children – as experimental animals. But the one thing we can guarantee is that the safety impact of driving this virus into resistance, thereby depriving children of both their innate immunity and their vaccinal protection, and irrevocably preventing the population from ever generating herd immunity will be of an order of magnitude way beyond the side-effects we’re now talking about.

So what we are causing is that instead of the population exerting selection pressure on the virus, we are going to allow this virus to exert selection pressure on the innate immunity of the host. So that means only people who will still have their innate immunity intact have a chance to survive.

01:11:21: what is your worst-case scenario? if you game this out on a population level what are we looking at?

01:11:44: mass vaccination is causing a catastrophe of an order of magnitude completely unprecedented: I cannot talk about numbers but what is clear is that the order of magnitude will be something completely unprecedented because, again, and this is the logic of the science: what we will obtain, if we do this, if we continue the mass vaccination, if we continue to boost, if we don’t do anything about infection pressure, we immunize all the children, I mean, if that is not going to be a catastrophe you can put me in gaol. I’m very serious about this. If any expert would dare to say this: ‘if I’m wrong with the vaccination of the children you can put me in gaol’. Nobody! I do this because I’m convinced. I’ve done my homework. I’ve turned this thing upside down from all sides. It is like pieces of a puzzle, a very complex puzzle that can only match in one single way. If it scientifically makes sense, and you see all the data, and the data comes together exactly. Of course I cannot say January or February when, for instance, it’ll explode in Israel. But I know it is going to explode. I know it’s going to be very fast. I think before the end of the year, even. But I cannot tell when, for sure. We are giving the virus the opportunity to do a natural selection among the human race: those who have innate immunity versus those who have not. None left, because of what I’ve explained.

I know this is very strong. You know me in the meantime. I’m not into sensation. It cannot be that we vaccinate the children. It’s impossible. That is our last hope. It’s our last hope.

Innate immunity: nature’s most precious gift to a child
  • innate immunity is present at birth and protects children from a multitude of different diseases, including viral diseases such as Coronavirus (incl. all SC-2 variants), Influenza virus and some other respiratory viruses
  • innate immunity is generally acknowledged to be our ‘first line’ of immune defense
  • innate immunity has an antibody (Ab) component (‘innate’ Abs) and a cellular component (‘natural killer’ cells) that can prevent or abrogate infection, respectively. In contrast to vaccine-induced immunity, innate immunity enables sterilizing immunity and is, therefore, a key pilar of herd immunity.
  • as innate immunity is ‘innate’, it can operate immediately upon attack by a pathogen and does not need to ‘mature’ before full-fledged protection can be provided
  • because innate immunity broadly protects from a broad and diversified spectrum of respiratory viral diseases (e.g., CoVs, Flu, RSV), SARS CoV-2 (SC-2) is typically NOT a childhood disease.
  • with aging, natural titers of innate Abs wane and may, therefore, result in enhanced susceptibility of older age groups to SC-2 (full text: ‘The immune system of children: The key to understanding SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility’
So why does innate immunity not protect against all (viral) diseases?
  • some receptors on host target cells readily outcompete innate Abs for binding to the virus (e.g., viruses causing chronic diseases)
  • some viruses are highly infectious and easily break through the host’s innate immune defense (e.g., measles). Such viruses (or bacteria) typically cause childhood ‘diseases’
  • that’s why we need vaccines to fight chronic diseases (unfortunately, we don’t have these vaccines yet) and childhood diseases!
But why then do some of our children get C-19 disease?
  • children (and youngsters) who typically got asymptomatic infection at the beginning of the pandemic are now increasingly seeing their innate immune Abs suppressed by short-lived, nonfunctional spike (S)-specific Abs which they acquired as a result from previous asymptomatic exposure
  • repetitive exposure to highly infectious variants (e.g., Delta variant) leads to mild to moderate suppression of CoV recognition by their innate Abs (I will explain this more in detail)
  • the dominance of highly infectious Delta variant cannot be explained by any phenomenon other than mass vaccination across multiple age groups
  • luckily enough, healthy children are endowed with high titers of functional innate Abs and hence, capable of competing with the low affinity, S-specific Abs they acquired as a result of previous asymptomatic infection
  • it is true that because of high infection rates, children may now develop mild or sometimes even moderate disease. However, provided they were in good health and have no underlying disease, it’s highly unlikely for them to develop severe disease
  • individuals who recover from C-19 disease develop life-long immunity towards SC-2 and contribute to herd immunity
  • children at risk must, of course, receive early multidrug treatment (P. McCullough et al.)
What happens with innate immunity when children grow up?
  • there is now unambiguous evidence that innate immunity can be ‘trained’ upon re-exposure to the same or similar pathogens. Immune cells producing protective innate Abs can acquire memory such as to ‘remember’ the virus and bind to virus particles with higher affinity ‘trained’ innate Abs will be more effective at neutralizing SC-2 while still able to recognize a multitude of different CoVs (including their variants)
  • thanks to innate immune training, unvaccinated healthy subjects (including children) will improve their protection from SC-2 (and other CoVs). Their trained innate Abs will better resist competition from low affinity, S-specific Abs acquired upon previous infection
Why is C-19 vaccination of children an unforgivable sin?
  • whereas S-specific Abs acquired upon asymptomatic infection exert a rather weak suppression of innate Abs, vaccinal Abs exert strong suppression of these Abs
  • due to high infection rates (Delta variant!), these vaccinal Abs are now continuously boosted and relevant innate Abs are, therefore, constantly suppressed
  • because of sustained suppression by vaccinal Abs, kids may no longer be naturally protected against a number of childhood infections that do not usually result in disease. As innate Abs are also protective of ‘self’, their prolonged suppression is highly likely to raise the incidence of autoimmune diseases
  • vaccinating children against SC-2 deprives them from their capacity to sterilize this virus as well as a number of other viruses that do not usually cause harm to children
  • in the meantime, unvaccinated children may get mild or moderate disease.
  • the resulting training of their innate immune system or acquisition of natural S-specific Abs (that outperform vaccinal Abs!) will provide them with sustained protective innate or acquired immunity, respectively
Vaccination does not improve your protection against severe disease or hospitalization
  • innate immunity in healthy unvaccinated individuals (i.e., w/o underlying disease) prevents or abrogates SC-2 infection and, therefore, protects against disease (and hence, hospitalization!): as the vast majority of unvaccinated healthy individuals are protected against mild or moderate disease, they are much less likely to contract severe disease!
  • however, some healthy unvaccinated individuals (including some youngsters and children) may develop moderate disease as a result of sustained anti-S Ab titers. As they recover, they develop broadly functional, naturally acquired Abs that protect them against a diversified spectrum of variants
  • given the small subset of hospitalized unvaccinated individuals and recent resumption of precautionary measures, fewer and fewer ‘vulnerable’ unvaccinated people will land in the hospital whereas the opposite will apply to vaccinees, due to the steadily increasing resistance of the virus to neutralizing Abs and continuing mass vaccination (boosters!)
  • the single best approach to protecting yourself and your children is to take excellent care of your health. Mild disease equals life-long protection (provided you don’t get any C-19 vaccine and you stay in good health). If nevertheless the virus breaks through your innate immunity, don’t worry as you are beyond unlikely to contract severe disease. Once recovered, you should stay exposed to the virus (variants!) such as to ensure a regular update of your naturally acquired Abs
  • unvaccinated people with underlying diseases should adhere to infection prevention measures (avoid contact with super spreaders) and should have access to early treatment. They should not get jabbed!
  • there is no reason for fear! Stress and fear will only weaken your innate immunity. That’s what modern Neuroscience is telling us
  • nor is there any reason for discrimination, besides discrimination against current insane measures that are anything but based on sound scientific grounds
Credibility? Time for DYOR
  • all my predictions were/ are based on science and nothing but science
  • the vast majority of these predictions materialized or on the verge of becoming reality
  • no single expert or Public Health (PH) official dares to openly debate me or to engage in a scientific discussion about the single most ignored aspect of this pandemic, i.e., the critical role of innate immunity and how it gets corrupted by the current vaccines
  • none of the scientists who are currently revealing the truth are having any conflict of interest
  • all of the above should be serious food for thought to those who still believe that what politicians and PH authorities tell them is in the best interest of people’s individual health and that of society at large

When it comes to the property clause in our Constitution, watch the ANC like milk on fire

Section 25 of the South African Constitution sets out your and my rights with respect to property. If South Africans are not ultra-vigilant, the ANC will gut those rights.

The State’s right to expropriation without compensation (EWC) is implicit in Section 25 of the South African Constitution, nothing needs changing.

Not so, argues the ANC and their EFF allies. EWC must be made explicit and to that end the ANC initiated and managed a multi-party parliamentary process culminating in a draft proposal (see below) to amend Section 25, which was Gazetted just before Christmas with a deadline for comments on the 31 January 2020.

Now, mere days before the deadline, we learn that the draft proposal for comment is in fact a dummy or, more exactly, a decoy.

This is the proposed draft amendment (changes to the Constitution indicated in bold)

(1) No one may be deprived of property except in terms of law of general application, and no law may permit arbitrary deprivation of property.
