  1. Jabs jabs jabs. Each one results in a shorter period of time until “waning.

    Not long until monthly jabs for the lemmings, at what cost to their immune systems? Governments trying to fight Antigenic sin, is a fruitless endeavour.

    Bring Out Yer Dead! Like a Monty Python skit, in real time.

    1. This is one of the biggest issues with mRNA as a delivery method. There’s a point where the body will begin to more readily identify the subsequent injections as foreign and dispose of them before they even have a chance to deliver their payloads.
      It was THOUGHT by the eggheads that it could be repurposed as a delivery method for exotic pseudo-vaccines as fewer shots would be needed (perhaps even only one or two). It now appears that this was a gross miscalculation.

  2. Why do I get the impression the Israelis are trying to finish the job a certain Austrian painter without talent started way back in the day.

    1. Secular “Jewish” Israelis want to be able to go on vacation to Gentile countries.

      Actual “ultra-Orthodox” Jews understand that no Jew is safe outside Israel, and avoid non-essential travel outside the country.

      1. Israel taking up the vaccines so aggressively was one of the reasons I felt it was safe enough to take.

  3. I liked your “less severe, more moderate death” title. That was right up there with a Kate title. Hope it becomes a regular header.

    Japan went to Ivermectin after receiving significantly contaminated batches of mrna – Moderna if I recall.

    1. Japan went to Ivermectin after receiving significantly contaminated batches of mrna – Moderna

      Perfectly sensible thing to do.

      Ivermectin was co-invented by a Japanese, Satoshi Ōmura. In 1970, Ōmura isolated unusual Streptomyces bacteria from the soil near a golf course along the coast of Honshu, Japan. He and a scientist from Merck showed that the bacterial culture could cure mice infected with the roundworm.

      Ōmura shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology with his Merck collaborator.

      1. For some reason, this bit of information never precedes articles calling Ivermectin “horse paste”.

        Ivermectin: good enough for Indians, Indonesians and the Japanese but not for the bloated chauvinists in Canada who prefer to quadruple-mask.

  4. The National Post had a lovely article today speculating that it’s not Ivermectin but rather round worms people are taking the Ivermectin that are making the difference. You get rid of the round worms and then your body is stronger and healthier so you can fight off the virus. There also this cute comment where he says “And within about 20 years everyone, including people who actually participated in the cultural mini-war over ivermectin, will wonder what the hell the fuss was all about.”

    If you have a dead relative you’ll be fussing all right.

    2. It wasn’t roundworm that Ivermectin was widely administered for, in the APOC countries, it was to treat ‘River Blindness’…

      As far as a correlation between roundworm and Ivermectin, that theory would need to have a side -by-side comparison with all countries where roundworm is common, showing the stats for Covid infections.
      All else aside, it’s pretty convincing that when countries adopt widespread Ivermectin their Covid infection rates plummet relative to Worldwide waves.

      In doing a search the volume of negative articles vastly outweighs the positive ones, but so what? Let the numbers speak for themselves.

    3. Given that Cosh is nowhere near educated enough in the field of medicine to come up with such a wacky theory on his own, that means it was fed to him. I think I saw this same trial balloon elsewhere recently. I would surmise that this is the new Official Line on IVM : “Sure maybe it works over there, but only because they’re filthy and have worms. Since we’re not filthy it doesn’t work here. Now move along to get your next jab!”

    1. From the study if you prefer text
      “We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination”
      …. and our provincial health apparatchiks with fingers in ears “I don’t hear you” as they approve the jab for 5-11 year old children.

        1. Yes Nancy Dr. Mike Yeadon had those words for the hard heads like myself our families have to cope with on a daily basis. Still holding out and the decision looks better as we move along but it is not for everyone. My family is married to health care workers and like to eat out and attend things. I don’t think they had much choice when they got the jab and of course remember how it was sold
          ‘it’s the way for us to get back to normal’

          1. My Mum always said that one’s health is #1… if one gets sick from the jab one won’t be traveling, eating out or going to a show anyway. What they’re doing in this Country backwards. Florida’s Governor DeSantis has it right.

  7. Speaking of mysterious cures and immune people: my wife and I (yet another couple of nerdy scientists…) have been looking into the fascinating hypotheses surrounding the fact that cigarette smoking is not really an aggravating factor to the Wuhan flu. We thought that this could have something to do with ACE2 depletion, but it may be associated with a benign, carbon monoxide related biochemical pathway (yeah, I know. Carbon monoxide has a bad reputation….). As a biochem dilettante, I am trying to understand this better, and will report back in an appropriate thread, but I am sure some of you here may have already come across this idea. Meanwhile, cigars all around!

    1. At the beginning of this pandemic, France noticed the same thing about smokers and Japan saw the same thing a few months ago.

      1. Yes, and then absolutely nothing was said about it ever again. Not even, as you’d expect, someone saying that there was nothing to the idea. ‘Tells me there’s something to the idea.

    2. That paper in the link had an attached ‘Expression of Concern’…basically a criticism of the methodology or documentation.
      https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1161/CIR.0000000000001051
      Is the criticism valid? I’m not a scientist, I don’t know. But it certainly reflects badly on any Drs. who quote from it without mentioning the weak points in the paper.
      Personally, I really, really hope that the paper gets peer reviewed in a POSITIVE way, and that the criticisms are put to rest.

  9. I am not sure any of the commenters watched the video.

    To recap. A highly vaccinated country (Japan) with an ingrained disciplined approach to mask wearing and social distancing returned to background levels of COVID infections. Preceding their last spike they were already below rates seen in Canada and have just returned to that point.

    The question is why the rate there is so low to begin with. Some of the genetic factors of the population and virus are interesting but relatively unsubstantiated. Invermectin in mentioned but I highly doubt that it was prescribed and used to a large enough degree to have such a substantial effect in such short order.

    Likely it was behaviours returning to pre-Olympic normality that was the cause of the waning facilitated by mask wearing, social distancing and vaccine uptake.
