Virus Keeps a Rolling

From the never ending list of new studies.

Breakthrough infections at an Israeli hospital back in July.

We have investigated a nosocomial COVID-19 outbreak involving the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant among a highly vaccinated population. The attack rate among exposed individuals reached 23.3% in patients and 10.3% in staff, with 96.2% vaccination rate among exposed individuals. Moreover, several transmissions probably occurred between two individuals both wearing surgical masks, and in one instance using full PPE, including N-95 mask, face shield, gown and gloves.

Breakthrough cases in San Francisco that seem to be following Geert Vanden Bossche’s predictions. 

Fully vaccinated were more likely than unvaccinated persons to be infected by variants carrying mutations associated with decreased antibody neutralization.” And,” Viral loads were significantly higher in symptomatic as compared to asymptomatic vaccine breakthrough cases, and symptomatic vaccine breakthrough infections had similar viral loads to unvaccinated infections.” as well as, “These findings suggest that vaccine breakthrough cases are preferentially caused by circulating antibody-resistant SARS-CoV-2 variants, and that symptomatic breakthrough infections may potentially transmit COVID-19 as efficiently as unvaccinated infections, regardless of the infecting lineage.”

New one in the Lancet confirming what we already know about how long the shots last.

Effectiveness against infections declined from 88% (95% CI 86–89) during the first month after full vaccination to 47% (43–51) after 5 months. Among sequenced infections, vaccine effectiveness against infections of the delta variant was high during the first month after full vaccination (93% [95% CI 85–97]) but declined to 53% [39–65] after 4 months. Effectiveness against other (non-delta) variants the first month after full vaccination was also high at 97% (95% CI 95–99), but waned to 67% (45–80) at 4–5 months. Vaccine effectiveness against hospital admissions for infections with the delta variant for all ages was high overall (93% [95% CI 84–96]) up to 6 months.

And to finish things off a paper looking at the costs and benefits of lockdowns.

“An examination of over 100 Covid-19 studies reveals that many relied on false assumptions that over-estimated the benefits and under-estimated the costs of lockdown. The most recent research has shown that lockdowns have had, at best, a marginal effect on the number of Covid-19 deaths. “And,”Using a mid-point estimate for costs and benefits, the reasonable estimate for Canada is a cost/benefit ratio of 141. It is possible that lockdown will go down as one of the greatest peacetime policy failures in modern history.”

Emphasis mine.

  1. A winter surge in Covid will be spun as coming from unvaxxed setting up the Us vs. Them economic war and collapse. Nothing is by mistake or unforeseen. The donks have game planned everything.

      1. RSV cut a path through Minnesota this Summer.
        RSV is usually a Winter disease, like Influenza.

    1. Hubby and I pulled out a calendar and penciled in the dates we think are the next acts of the drama, like a recurring show on Netflix. Coming up next (by the breathless coverage of all the kids in hospital…why not before now? Who knows?? Maybe we will find out in an upcoming episode!!)
      So the kids 5-11 vax approval and mandatory inoculation are coming next….stay tuned!

        1. Bring out your unvaccinated!
          Bring out your unvaccinated!
          Cart and horse funded by your sunny ways government.
          Serfs Up!
          Have a SAFE day.

          1. Hahahaha … “… but I’m NOT infected with a very high viral load”. “YES you are … and we’re putting you in an elder care home to ensure it gets higher!!”.

            BTW … does anyone know what regulates the viral load? Is it length of exposure to an infected patient? Is it the strength of the patients immune system? These articles want to imply that it is vaccination status that determines viral load. I don’t buy that premise.

      1. That’s when our 14yr old will be pulled from the school district. Fewer students equals less Govt funding.

    2. It already is being spun, from one end of the country to the other, that it’s a pandemic of the unvaccinated.

      NB is locking down pretty hard for Thanksgiving weekend, and slapping more public sector workers with “vax or get fired” mandates, as just the latest round of insanity.

      This isn’t going to stop until Canadians demand that it stop. Any sign of that happening?

        1. I am beginning to believe that many Mask People are starting to enjoy the oxygen restriction making them light headed.

        2. I See that utter STUPIDITY every day, outside walking, walking their dog, driving their car, walking out of grocery stores masked till they open the car door. So.. if #’s are right, then 70% of those I walk by are jabbed 2/3 times…and likely spewing Spike proteins.

          I could care less if you’ve had 14 jabs or eat pickled Eggs at 3:30 in the AM while listening to Johan Sebastian Bach….Fucking whatever..!!! I don’t even care if you DO have the Vid…all the merrier – rather that than some Coerced Vial of FauxiFilth.

          …just so sick of this shit.

          And hey, Jason your TREASONOUS Nazi MAGGOT….I will have, as many folks over to my place for Thanksgiving, as I Damned Well PLEASE….Capisce..??
          Now fuck off back EAST where scum like you belong

          This now concludes my program.

          1. steakman, the people have consumed the kool-aid. The vaxxes will make things far worse and will kill more people than the flu ever could. After the third and then the following fourth shot no one will have a functioning immune system. We have allowed the government to put nails in our coffins.

    3. Hey, what is there to worry about? The government is all over this………………………Oh, shit!

  2. In order to break the power of Progressive networks to spread disinformation (and in fact break much of their financial, information and social power as well), “we” should be looking for ways to break their networks. Read these articles and do what you can:

    https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/04/why_coca_cola_caved_.html

    Without the cash flow and information pipelines, they are less able to use things like lurid Covid stories to impose more restrictions and remove more freedoms.

    1. I cut the cord about 10 years ago.
      That kinda stuff is why I say Rebel News is controlled opposition.
      The Menzoid did a couple of shows about the evils of “Kodi Media Player Boxes”, starting off saying their full of Chinese spyware, then segueing into the importance of Hollwierd’s IP rights.
      Little R-Pi media boxes are the way of the future; allowing the consumer to pick and choose according to his tastes, as opposed to being force-fed pre-digested MSM media pap and commie propaganda.

  3. The slime stream media are ramping up their anti-vaccine hatred, they should be sued for libel for the filth they articulate. Remember when the media glammed onto climate change, they wrote books and made themselves experts on all things climate change-well they’ve done the same thing via covid and it’s high time we the people shut up their government approved propaganda. I am sick of the lies, I am sick of the abuse and mostly I am sick of a medical establishment that out sourced patient care to bureurats who get decide covid treatments.

    1. Medical establishments that outsourced medicine to pharmaceutical lobbyists and insourced pharmaceutical marketing programs.

    2. @Rose,

      You might like this letter. Sure hope it gets spread around even half as much as “breakthrough” viruses.

      https://westernstandardonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021-10-04-LT-CPSA.pdf

      “The college (CPSA) or anyone else has no right to force anyone to be vaccinated against their will.”

      “In this regard, we would respectfully request that every member of the CPSA Council that publicly supports the present coercive injection program of the AHS and who is not willing to take a stand for the individual autonomy and dignity of physicians, nurses, health care workers and citizens of Alberta, immediately resign from the Council of CPSA,”

  4. We have been lied to and manipulated at every step. Someone needs to be removed from office, and imprisoned. Start with your local health official – have them charged with fraud as a start.

  5. A winter surge in Covid will be spun as coming from [the] unvaxxed setting up the Us vs. Them [dynamic]. . .

    Well, our governments will certainly try, but I’m running into more and more vaxxed who are showing signs of buyer’s remorse, coupled with the dawning, uncomfortable realization that governments do not exist to make them happy or to keep them safe, but to govern (control) them, and they aren’t even doing a particularly good job of that.

    Really, incompetence borne of non-accountability appears to be the only thing that’s directly in most governments’ wheelhouses.

  6. Weird, because our gal in Israel, Ms. Vivian Bercovici said Israel was the bee’s knees with respect to tackling this covid crisis and how the world could take a lesson or two from the chosen ones. Okey Dokey.
    At least a whole bunch better than the Finnish backwater she vacations to when she’s feeling a little verklempt.
    I guess it must be all those Israeli children coming back from vacationing abroad. Not my words btw…hers.

  7. Israel’s case counts are now declining but their deaths are still stable/slightly up. So maybe cases and deaths really are uncoupled but in reverse.

    1. I now consider Israel’s data to be out the window due to the fact they have been giving out the boosters.

      Anything before the middle of August I believe can be some what accountable but after that who knows what the data really means.

      1. We’re through the looking glass. I don’t trust my nation’s statistics either. And now my work is changing the requirements for employment to include a clot shot.

        My kids’ future is more important than I am. Oh shit.

    2. Probably almost everyone now has had the virus and natural herd immunity arrived. Israel’s a small place.

  8. weight lifting, physical activity is shown to ENHANCE ONE’S IMMUNE SYSTEM.
    jeepers, that being the case, howcum every public access gymnasium was
    LOCKED UP TIGHTER THAN FORT KNOX????

    1. Because the authorities don’t want you to have a healthy immune system, they want you toget ill with virusses so you buy the vaccine and accept the gradual introduction of a tyrannical regime.

      Yes I am suggesting a conspiracy. Do you not think Pfizer’s marketing department and lobbyists are not working overtime at present? This is PAYDAY.

    2. Makes lots of sense doesn’t it. For the first time in over 14 years i’m without a gym membership because I don’t have a vaccine passport.

  9. Bizarro world again. I find myself hoping the longevity of the shots is very short lived. Otherwise there will be real problems down the road relative to any disease that requires some form of natural immunity not specifically related to the boosted protein that combats the original Covid strain (which is everything else).

    So, which was it…panic? greed? incompetence? malice? or old fashioned stupidity? …that pushed a genetic therapy that ignores just about every consequence associated with the protocol. I guess, depending, on the party…all of the above.

    1. Its not a genetic therapy. It doesn’t have any reverse transcriptase in it.
      That doesn’t mean its action is fully understood, though.

    2. I took a Pfizer shot in April.. live in the same house as my 96 year old Mom..After becoming more familiar with vaers etc, I resisted the second shot.. Got a bad chest cold a few days ago. My Doc sent me in for a test today. I am taking Vitc,vitd3, NAC,selenium etc.

  10. there is no cure. the function is a rate /cum . the curve is flattened not reduced . the function is an integral not a derivative. like bread dough it will always rise until the sugar is done. works out to 1;50000 even if it takes infinite years.

    1. The slope of the curve is the determining factor for our healthcare systems. Steeper slope = more “cases”/day. The integral is simply the entire population.
      This is not to say that the state line has any merit whatsoever.
      Six degrees of separation. Where are the bodies? The only place the pandemic exists is in the media, and the brainwashed minds of the media consumers.

      1. the calculation of the curves gives an end result of 50000 deaths, we are at 28000. works out off of each ‘wave’ i wrote that wrong like a clint eastwood movie , prepare me 22000 coffins more . this doesnt stop till then. resistance is futile and false

  11. People that I’ve talked to are not only getting their so-called booster shot, they talk about getting their 3rd jab as though it’s a source of immense pride. Regular people are becoming Branch Covidian cultists. They don’t even consider how these same experts promised them that the first two shots were going to be enough. You can’t shake their faith.

      1. We’re a society that literally has Pride Parades. We’re gonna go SPLAT! real good when we hit the ground. Maybe the Moslems are onto something.

          1. Prinz Dummkopf will, of course, joyously march in it, preferably if the participants are, well, you know…..

    1. Those would be the dumb ones, Dan. Sadly, a significant fraction of the overall population.

    2. If I had had that weak ass Pfizer vaccine, I would get the booster, of Moderna. Results are in, Pfizer fades after six months. You can catch COVID to get your ‘better’ immunity if you want. I am 65, I have no interest in catching the virus if I can at all help it. The risks of the vaccine are very small compared to the risks of catching COVID for people my age. If I were 30, the calculation would be entirely different.

      There is nothing cult about it. I could easily come to this same conclusion by simply carefully reading the studies that Francisco posts here.

      1. See I happen to 100% agree with you because you have made a rational choice. The problem is I have made my own rational choice but our government will not accept that. Internment camps are coming next.

  12. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:
    That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity.

    2nd Epistle of St Paul to the Thessalonians, Chapter 2 Douay Rheims

  13. There will be no end to this cycle of: declining vaccine efficacy, passports, more boosters, more lockdowns, more masks until it becomes commonplace to employ rapid testing with early treatments including, wait for it! anti-virals with vitamins to enhance the immune system. How f…ing radical is that FFS! Who knew that viral loading could be lowered with anti-virals? Apparently the 30% of the planet that hadn’t sold out to their Stalinist leaders and zombie health care professionals who jumped in bed with big Pharma. The conspiracy theory (quickly becoming reality) of the build back better, WEF, Gates, Soros, crowd are still on schedule in what used to be the western civilized world. The hate speech that passes for media coverage is doing their part like the good party members they are. The Canadian Eloi are OK with it.

    1. The hate speech that passes for media coverage

      That sums it up perfectly, Mr. Chittick. Every news cast these days is a 5 minute hate of the unvaccinated, they are lepers AND witches. They are to be ostracised.

      1. There is a guy who comes on CKNW every day.. He just hates anti-vaxxers.. He says there is no such thing as personal choice. I have come to despise the clown. He wears a really crappy toupe, and lives on LeftyIsland..Home of cbc retirees!.. I listen to him as much as possible so I get my daily exercise by screaming at the FraidyCat. Fk, I hate lefties!

  14. The best thing one can do is to make the conscious effort, I repeat conscious effort, when you are out in public to never touch your face.
    Don’t pick your eyes, nostrils, lips, ears, or any other orifices. Plus avoid enclosed areas with lots of people. And you should be fine.
    If you feel the need to pick at your face, then wash your hands thoroughly first.
    This will protect you better than any of the supposed vaccines will.

  15. The virus(s) are doing exactly what the Chinese gain of function virologists designed them to do. Most of us are in denial. Annnnd, more importantly “I. Don’t. Care. Another fight at the moment and this opponent makes COVID look like a Church Lady

  16. Pretty sure my wife has Covid. Also pretty sure she gave it to me now, although my symptoms are very weak, so I can’t be sure.

    She works with a gal who got sick, tested and was positive. Later, my wife showed many of the same symptoms…
    She did lose her smell for most of a day, and her taste for a few hours. Other than that, just cold symptoms.

    We are both healthy, under 50, and know the odds of serious infection. AKA not worried.

    Does piss me off that there isn’t more therapeutics available….. Course we’d have to go get tested to get them probably, and we have no desire to do that….(we are self isolating anyway, as we always do when sick)

    But, we are tripling our Vit D, Vit C and Multi-Vitamin intake. Our symptoms are 90% gone… just a few more days.

    How many show symptoms, but don’t get tested?

    Sure glad I don’t work with anybody, or need to go into any buildings etc. I don’t have to worry about being a superspreader!!

      1. My wife works in a school. The only person currently out with covid is double vaxxed.
        Color me surprised.

  17. Protect yourself, because the Vaccine is not doing a good job of Protecting Anyone.

    Vitamins C and D, Zinc.
    A study says any person with 50 ng/mol of Vitamin D will prevent deaths.
    I cannot find the link, but I posted it here a few days ago.

        1. Yeah, it’s not as common as VitC, so I order on line for most of my supplements.

          NAC is another important item, N-acetyl cysteine. The FDA has hinted it may ban it, cuz the peeps are ordering it to also treat Covid. So, that’s a good reason to go buy it. Add it to your war chest before it’s banned.

  18. The politicians don’t even talk about this ending anymore. How much longer until people realize this is forever?

    1. One of the Globe journalists ( Saunders, maybe) inadvertently let it be known that they were not to mention ” the end of the pandemc”. I thought that was very odd, and who would be responsible for issuing such a directive?

  19. I just came across a very interesting statistic about COVID-19 from the Middle East.

    It appears that in Afghanistan, both vaccinated and unvaccinated children under the age of12 are 3 times more likely to die from a Joe Biden drone strike than the virus.

  20. An interesting slip of the tongue here in Oz recently in the NSW Supreme Court.

    Backstory – A group of people are challenging the NSW Government’s orders that teachers and aged care workers will need to get The Jab in order to work. We have NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard and his barrister, Jeremy Kirk handling the legal defence which seems to revolve around the fact that no body is being FORCED to get the Jab, just that there are exceptions to stay at home orders that give advantage to Jab victims.

    So, ignoring the blatant attempt to call black, white, here is the interesting slip.
    (quoting from au.yahoo.com/news )

    “Mr Kirk said the state probably did have the power to force people to be vaccinated if “some terrible disease” like Ebola were threatening society.”

    Note the use of the phrase ‘some terrible disease’.

    What this barrister representing the NSW Health Minister is admitting by omission is that Covid is NOT some terrible disease. Ebola is, apparently, a terrible disease, but Covid is not.

    Muse on this – the barrister representing the NSW government in the NSW Supreme Court is claiming that Covid is NOT a terrible disease.

    So, if Covid is NOT terrible, just why does the NSW government feel it appropriate to tell under 18s how many friends they are allowed to have and when and where they can visit them?

  21. The MAJOR “science” in the entire Kovid Kaper is POLITICAL SCIENCE; an abomination of similar galactic magnitude to “Social” (spit) science.

  22. So that explains that breakout in July. But looking at the data since then, the Pfizer definitely works it’s just not 100%. Delta spread exactly like I said it would, primarily among the unvaccinated at a very disproportionate rate:

    https://datadashboard.health.gov.il/COVID-19/

    The unvaccinated are being infected at 3 x the rate of vaccinated. But the unvaccinated only account for 33% of the population. So 33% of the population are accounting for 75% of the new infections. That’s an astronomical difference. Only a couple weeks in July – probably related to the link in this post – were the vaccinated ahead of the unvaccinated on absolute terms. Relative risk? Not even close.

    Under the severely ill heading, the unvaccinated are 5x as much. The vaccinated at no point were ahead of the unvaccinated in absolute terms here. Never mind relative risk which amplifies the difference due to population differences in each cohort.

    Israels deal with Pfizer meant that the country was exclusively Pfizer and would stick to their dosing regiment. They were the first to vaccinate, but unfortunately now it seems like the Pfizer vaccine is the weakest among the majors. They never offered others which is another weakness (a mix is best), plus they never mixed doses among people. They never extended intervals. Now we understand, this is actually the worst way to vaccinate! Even with that, it is still many times better than no vaccine.

    I just love it when a mouth breathing cousin screwing inbred proclaims “bUt JuSt LoOk At IsrAeL!”. Yes, I agree, look at Israel. Further proof the vaccines are effective. Thank you!

    Compare to Canada, we have 4 approved vaccines(good), we spread out the doses (good), and we mixed vaccines (good). This is why Canada is in such good shape relatively.
