Down the memory hole

Remember when the public health authorities assured us that herd immunity would be achieved when a large percentage of the population was fully vaccinated? Someone needs to remind them of that, since they clearly seem to have forgotten. Who needs accountability when you can just redefine failure out of existence?

Despite early obsessions with herd immunity, classical herd immunity leading to disease eradication or elimination is almost certainly “an unattainable goal” with COVID, Dr. Anthony Fauci and other top U.S public health officials wrote in a recent article. SARS-CoV-2 mutates constantly, “neither infection nor vaccination appears to induce prolonged protection” in many or most people, they said…

  1. It sounds to me like so many people, including Fauxi, don’t have the first clue what “herd immunity” is, and what it is NOT.
    In others it is understandable, in Fauxi, it’s unforgiveable.

    1. Yes.

      Does Emperor Fauc I present the evidence that prior infection does not provide protection? Is there a distinction between prior infection in vacinees and prior infection in non vaccinated?

      If no difference then were all f***ed. Oh, remember, test the science.

    2. They knew it from the start. They were just whistling in the dark while screwing as much money out of frightened governments and population as possible.

      COVID is corona virus. There has never, ever, been a successful vaccine against corona virus diseases because of it’s high mutation rate.
      The best example is the flu vaccine. They make (somewhat) educated guesses about which mutation is going to dominate next year and create a vaccine based upon that. It will give some protection against that mutation variant, less and less against others, and of course, they often make a mistake in what variant will dominate, and vaccinate everyone against the wrong one.

      It was known from the start that COVID would be no different. But there was a ton of money to be made by vaccinating every person in the world, several times … and pharma companies are well known for being much more interested in treatments rather than cures – they want a subscription from you, keep coming back for whatever is keeping you alive rather than a one time payment for a cure and never see you (or your money) ever again.

  2. The so called six wave is already on the decline just as they’re ramping up calls for more lockdown. Six times they’ve tried lockdowns and it’s always the same damn thing.

  3. Local rag they toss on the driveway for free had a notice of expanded jab clinics….4 days for a total of 24 hours. For another shot of God’s greatest miracle. In death wave number 6! People must be either mentally or physically sick of getting jabs.

    I’ve seen reports that most have really compromised immune systems and will have VAIDS sooner or later. I can’t think of any good reason this shot would have been released to the public given what Pfizer knew.

    They could have simply released saline shots for everyone.

  4. So the facts remain as they they were since I was 6 years old; you can’t get a shot to stop getting sick because there’s too many and they mutate too easily.

    Before we allow egomaniacs playing God can we get 100% mastery of fields in the domain of men figured out; either finance or the rule of law seems to be the first place to start.

  5. In ontario, according to the govs website, where roughly 18/19 percent are considered “not fully vaccinated”(and including the 0-4 age range):

    82 percent of hospitalizations are in vaccinated

    74 percent of icu cases in vaccinated.

    Worth the hundreds millions or billions?

    Herd immunity.. lol

    1. Mad Macs:

      How many of those ‘unvaccinated’ got the plague in days 1 to 14 after the jab? Or are considered unvaxxed because they wouldn’t get a second, third or fourth jab?

      1. It is frustrating. And it seems like they want to make it difficult to identify the actual numbers. By including unvaccinated with people who have received the vaccine…it seriously muddies the water…almost like they do it purposefully??

        There should be no unvaccinated people in a category named “not fully vaccinated”.

  6. I’m mixed on this. It’s too much to expect the authorities to be all knowing at the start of a pandemic. It’s a learning process for everyone.

    What I didn’t like was the outright lying they sometimes did “for the greater good”. As an example, to downplay the importance of masks so that health workers wouldn’t be competing with the general public in accessing them, only to completely reverse their position shortly after, destroyed their credibility right up front. It was extraordinarily short sighted.

    1. I’m not about to forgive the 2 years of violated rights they imposed on us. The so-called “experts”, the public health officers- I want them to face trial. They KNEW the shots didn’t work and were dangerous, they KNEW masks don’t work, but they ALL rolled over and did whatever the WHO told them to.

      They were the public face of the medical system, and they repeatedly LIED to us. That’s why they need to face a trial.

      1. WY, agree with you. this wasnt just a white little lie…or a few minor ones.

        And health officials still have their jobs???

          1. Please cite a study on the effectiveness of masks that you consider more credible.

        1. I don’t give a damn about their study.
          The laws of physics state unequivocally that masks cannot possibly work as protection against a virus.
          BTW that wasn’t even controversial prior to 2020.

          1. Considering that the primary mode of transmission is aerosols that are fully airborne, the “droplets” thing is a red herring.

          2. Exactly, ET. I don’t need a GD peer-reviewed paper to tell me that a barbed wire fence ain’t gonna hold out mosquitoes. A bit of grade school math will suffice.

        2. KM.

          CDC eh..?? Complete Horseshit…Particularly given its coming for a 100% Totally corrupt organization.

          Viral particulate is sub micron in Size: .05 to somewhere around .015mU
          The smallest pore in ANY MASK is in the area of ~100mU.
          5000 times larger at its minimum than any viral bit.

          Masks are a Chain link Fence to keep out mosquitos while ya breathe in higher concentrations of CO2. 100% a CONTROL Mechanism.

          Health Orgs, Govt & MSM with their BS, Lies & constant fear porn can kiss my (_i_). I don’t believe a goddamned thing from ANY one of them at ANY time…EVER AGAIN. Covid – UKRAINE..I don’t give a shit which..its all Bullshit.

        3. Ok KM, you win, you’re allowed to wear 5 FACE DIAPERS to satisfy your paranoia.

          Your paranoia does not justify infringing on my rights, or allowed to contravene my NATURAL IMMUNITY!

          1. DanBC:

            I don’t wear masks theses days. Don’t think it’s called for despite the extra protection it provides.

            If you keep jumping to conclusions you’re going to trip.

          2. It was never medically called for. It was merely another tool in the bastard’s arsenal to control the masses. Just like the 6′ myth. And the lockdowns. All BS that had no, zero, effect on disease mitigation.

          3. Don’t think it’s called for

            It still is in Alberta if you are in a medical facility, as I found out when I went to a lab for a blood test 2 weeks ago.

            Kenny and Deena the Dominatrix misled us on that point.

      2. W.Y.
        You are so yesterday.
        New rules apply.
        Canadian Government leads the way.
        Forget “Put on Trial”.
        Executions First (for all our Helpers)..
        Then we will hold Trails to confirm their guilt.
        These are the new standards of Can Ahh Duh.
        Forward!
        They declared “Emergency”.
        Then they showed us all..How they behave in an emergency..
        With such help,we need no enemies.
        Two full years have passed.
        There is still zero convincing evidence that Dread Covid” ever achieved Pandemic Status..
        Which is why our “expert Help” refined “Pandemic” midway through this period.

        Amazing times..
        Two years of “Pandemic Emergency”.
        No new hospital beds.
        No new medical teams trained to treat “Pandemic” victims.
        No first Aid treatments,to mitigate disease, for those testing positive.

        Is there a single competent person in our Bureaus?
        Cause for these last two years,little evidence .

    2. I totally agree with you on this Killer Marmot.
      As a matter of fact I find myself agreeing with most of your comments as they relate to Covid 19.
      So…..it looks like those pushing the Great Barrington Declaration and the Swedish Covid response were incorrect.

      1. No. One study does not a certainty make. Also, the GBD said a number of emminently sensible things, not just about masks.

        1. I agree. One study isn’t enough.

          But there have been many studies on the effectiveness of masks, and overall they reach the same conclusion. I chose this particular paper because it’s very recent and it’s in a real-life rather than laboratory setting.

      2. O.K. You two clowns keep believing masks work. What we’ll do is relegate you to the scorn that enlightened ‘liberals’ used to put on Christians in believing Jesus will save them of whatever ailment of the day. i.e. f***ing loons. Fair’s fair.

        1. My reason for believing that masks work (at least to some degree) is because there are many scientific studies which support that conclusion.

          What is your reason for believing that masks don’t work?

          1. RedPop:

            Many of those papers do not directly address the effectiveness of masks in preventing COVID. Some, for example, are for influenza, others are for cloth masks, others address CO2 levels, and so on. A few seem to find at least limited support for masks’ effectiveness. Others are not studies at all, but rather are summaries of other studies.

            Here’s my list. It’s only 11 papers, but they directly address the issue, and they are all studies in their own right:

            https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776536

          2. Any discussion about the effectiveness of masks in public spaces needs to take into consideration the question of how many people are likely waltzing around in grocery stores etc. with Covid. Transmissions have primarily occurred in confined spaces with obviously sick people. Also, you need to get a certain viral load to get seriously sick. A slight whiff of the virus from a stranger who sneezes nearby is not likely going to do it, unless your own immune system is especially weak. CDC recommended testing if you have been in a confined space with a sick person for at least ten minutes. I think the masks are largely not effective because they are being used in contexts where transmission is not very likely. I would, however, not object to being asked to wear a mask in a care home.

      3. PG – KM.

        About as bright as a pair .005 W lightbulbs.
        LMAO….but please, carry on, might I suggest you dbl or triple up on your Face Diapers…then add a clear plastic bag, once done, then off you go:
        Get your 4th n 5th boosters.

        tata..

        1. I hate to bring it to you Steakman ….but you really have a limited understanding of what is going on here.
          Perhaps that is the reason for your negative tone and comments ?
          There is good information available and over the last 2 years much research has been done.
          Stop with the nonsense.

          1. Please wear 5 FACE DIAPERS PG. You will feel so much better!

            My Natural Immunity vetoes your paranoia!

          2. Is that a fact eh…lmao.
            Your ignorance is only overshadowed by your insipid arrogance.

            Stupid is as stupid does.
            I have not been sick in 18 years honey, No flu shot , no Bio weapon jab, and unmasked pretty much the entire last 26 months of this complete SCAM.

            IT’S plainly obvious that Science is not your strong suit. Ya wanna be safe snowflake..?? Go purchase an NBCW suit. Or put yer money where yer yap is & get that 4th 5th booster.. Hmm..? and enjoy your remaining months while VAIDS destroys what’s left of your pathetic carcass.

        2. I follow the research, which is sorely missing in many COVID articles.

          Scientific research is a long way from perfect, but it’s our best chance for discovering the truth. It certainly beats your hunches by a country mile. Healthy skepticism is critical, but ignoring the research is not healthy skepticism, it’s just feeding your own predispositions.

          1. Who is ignoring the research? Not most of us here. The ” research” in the case of Covid mitigation measures and vaccines is somewhat conflicting, but on balance certainly does not support masks, lockdown or massive vaccine programs. Also, the vaccines are not preventing the spread of the virus, so there is no justification for mandates. The absolute effectiveness of these vaccines was around 1% — that means you have to give thousands and thousands of doses before they have any impact at all. ( Suggest you read up on absolute vs. relative effectiveness.) Also, scientific research on the risks with these vaccines is being systematically ignored.

          2. “Also, scientific research on the risks with these vaccines is being systematically ignored.”
            It is being systematically suppressed.
            look into Dr Patrick Phillips
            Family & Emergency Physician, Englehart, On.

          3. LindL:

            The vaccines don’t do much to reduce infection rates for the current COVID variants.

            They have a powerful effect, however, on reducing the severity of the symptoms when you do get the disease. In short, they help keep people out of the hospital, and the ICU, and the morgue. And yes, that’s backed up by research. It’s also backed up by statistics collected by the Province of Ontario.

            https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj-2021-069761

            https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data

            Note that 27% of the patients in the ICU are unvaccinated, which greatly exceeds the percentage of older completely unvaccinated people in Ontario, which runs around 5%. The death statistics make an even better case for getting vaccinated.

          4. Killer —
            One problem with the stats us how ” unvacvinated” are counted. The figure often includes vaccinated but not 14 day wait. . . A vaccine reaction could easily be identified as a Covid case and often is. Apart from crude cars comparisons, I think it is very hard to make a case that the vaccines protect against serious illness and death.

      4. The wearing of masks is an IQ test. I’m going to guess you fail it daily.

        1. Was at an ophthalmologist’s office yesterday. Clientele mostly grey-hairs. I’d estimate fully half of them had face diapers on. The only staff wearing them was the older doctor.

        2. Following the scientific research rather than just succumbing to what you want to believe is also an IQ test.

          1. So is believing scientific research = truth in this utterly politicized day and age, sunshine. Considering the amount of peer review fraud committed, you truly have to be an idiot to believe anything “scientific” that carries with it the unmistakable stench of politics. Anthropogenic climate change is one area. COVID research is another. But hey, keep believing you’re smarter than the rest of us.

          2. No, scientific research does not equal truth. I never claimed it did. You talk about IQ tests, but putting words in people’s mouths is not a sign of intelligence.

            But scientific research is the best shot we have at finding the truth. It’s sometimes wrong or contradictory — occasionally even fraudulent — but on the whole it works well, and is certainly better than the alternatives. Those who ignore the research in favour of their own pet theories are groping in the dark.

          3. “Those who ignore the research in favour of their own pet theories are groping in the dark.”

            Pot, kettle.

          4. “pot, kettle”

            Actually it’s not my preferred theory. I hate masks. I don’t wear a mask now, as the current situation doesn’t seem to justify it. Nothing would have delighted me more than to discover that masks were useless.

            But I’m not going to lie to myself because I don’t like the truth.

      5. Thank you. But pushing the science in this forum leaves one with a lot of cuts and bruises.

        Fortunately, I have a very tough hide.

      6. Great Barrington and the Swedish response were both a better way to proceed than the heavy handed lockdowns, which have done considerable damage. I don’t think there is even any question about that.

    3. How about prohibiting viable outpatient treatments . This lead to amny unecessary deaths.

      1. Robert

        Bang on

        So PG – KM…what about that hmm..?? Why were Hydroxy and IVM fraudulently trashed..?? Could it have anything to do with these two reasons. Both have excellent efficacy against the virus when used as prophylactics…and likely ANY other corona virus as well.

        1: PROFITABILITY…
        2: Required Fear mongering to push a terrified population screaming for their salvation, such that 85% of those in the West took the jabs…which we now know are patently useless.. And big time detrimental to remaining immune function capability…??

        Seems to me both are 100% Accurate.

        And the Unspoken base of it all…..RT PCR. A 100% Totally Fraudulent Testing protocol used as the basis for supposedly “Proving” the actual existance of said virus..and of the never before heard term…”Asymptomatic Infection”.

        Biggest BS psy-Op ever pushed onto mankind…one so obviously planned for decades….just Ask Peter Daszak.

    4. They certainly know by now that the vax carries a non trivial risk and achieves virtually nothing, yet they promote it anyway. That is ass covering, period, at the cost of killing and maiming people often at virtually no risk. People guilty of that deserve no quarter, no mercy only DEATH.

      1. Peter

        1000% Concur.
        Let’s us,begin with the Entire Canadian Body Politic -Mayors on up, Every Health Admin in the Country…and the Entire Propaganda Division of the Liberal Party, the MSM.

        Should keep carpenters busy for months…Guillotines and Gallows.

  7. As long as the mRNA jabs make for filthy rich pharmaceutical companies, that’s all they care about.

    The Doctor Who Exposed Fauci’s Fallacies and Got Harassed and Fired from HHS for Telling the Truth

    https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/04/the_doctor_who_exposed_faucis_fallacies_and_got_harassed_and_fired_from_hhs_for_telling_the_truth.html

    “Dr. Paul Elias Alexander was a well-credentialed, internationally known epidemiologist invited by Trump administration officials to be part of the COVID 19 response team at the White House in April of 2020. He packed up his family, leaving a secure and prominent position in Canada to move to Washington, DC.”

    1. Thank you for posting. That story needs to get out there. If Canada had a free press you would expect them to be telling this story. But of course we don’t have a free press. Even worse, our medical overseers work in lock- step with the CDC — probably all controlled by Pfizer.

    1. I’m just now watching Stew Peter’s Interview and the “Watch the Water” vid.

      Unreal…but in the mind’s of evil, far more effective to put it – something into the water supply than randomly in the air……then scare the shit outa everyone with some BS “Novel” virus story all to get them to inject the the activator….the VAX.

      Covid per Se, Never EXISTED…!!

      Anyone that actually died of a virus, was obviously mis diagnosed as Covid – reported as such, which was most likely normal influenza….WHILE 10’s of thousands with the seasonal flu, flat out murdered by Remdesivir, Intubation or Overdoses of pain Killers….all the while withholding treatment that were effective: Hydroxy, IVM, MonoClonal Antibodies…

      Galactic level of EVIL.

  9. Brilliant, Dr. Faustus, I could have told you that two years ago; in fact I did. There’s a reason colds and influenza continue. Even as a kid, long ago last century, it was popularly held that a fortune could be made if one invented a vaccine against catching a cold. So now many people have made fortunes proving that you cannot create a vaccine against the common cold.

  10. Teflon Tony spewing his arrogance on a daily basis.

    “…classical herd immunity leading to disease eradication or elimination is almost certainly “an unattainable goal” with COVID…”

    No shit sherlock – we KNEW that – It’s Identical in that regard to any other Corona Virus: Flu, Influenza, Common Cold, H1N1, Hong kong flu…the list is as endless as there are MUTATIONS…or should I say “variant”. (The New term to scare the shit outa folks).

    His attempts to make a HIV vaccine vector is very much part of this Medically induced disaster that Covid became. And I wonder about his involvement was with SARS 2003. I find it near impossible to disbelieve that the work done by Ralph Baric with FAUCI’S blessing had anything to do with it right..?? ..uhuh.

    US PATENT 7279327 was put up for Certification in 1999, Certified in Apr 2002 and strangely enough…SARS came around the very next yr.

    Coincidence..? or let out on Purpose.?

    This POS is and has been dirty for 35-40 yrs…infecting the entire US Governmental Health organizations..IMO. Lab LEAK…? damned straight it was – on purpose.

    1. Yes, the jabs do not provide much protection at all. Just for a very limited period, at great risk.

      The first 14 days after the shot, your immune system is suppressed, on purpose. Then, with each jab, the period of “effectiveness” gets smaller and smaller. In essence, your immune system has been compromised after 6 months, the jabbed have NO PROTECTION, and in fact, are more susceptible to infection and more serious diseases, and, repeated infections if they don’t die first.

      Say goodbye to your immune system, jabbed peoples. I feel sorry for the deceived, but not for the zealots like PG, KM and their ilk. They will get what they deserve, endless illnesses, and worse. The die is cast. GVB warned everybody early on, amongst others.

    1. did he catch it at the Iftar, or was he just spreading it around? and if he was spreading it around, is that “Islamophobic”?

  11. Fauci’s binary statement of “neither infection not vaccination” is him, as usual,
    being disingenuous.

    He and the other “experts” went against all science to push the creation of a large third group, those who were vaccinated AFTER already being infected.

    I have yet to see anything showing there isn’t prolonged protection through T-cell immunity for those who went through a Covid infection and have never been vaxxed. On the other hand, there is some evidence that the “infected then vaxxed” group is the one most susceptible to reinfection.

  12. Lots of pushback in the comments. Good sign. Some noted that the Dr. Provides no proof that the vaccines have prevented serious illness and death. He just makes that claim. It is another of those ” repeat it often enough . . . ” I also think the claim is used by medical people to assuage their consciences. It allows them to continue ignoring the problems with the vaccines.

  13. Translation of Killer Marmots position:
    “I’m fine with being lied to over and over again to for many months on end, so long as some nice, peer-reviewed “scientific” papers support the most recent lie.”

    1. And how do you know it’s a lie?

      It’s a serious question. How do you decide what’s likely true and what’s likely false?

      For scientific issues such as whether masks or vaccines are effective, I like to see what the preponderance of research says. Doesn’t mean I believe it absolutely, but I give it a “probably true”. What’s your method?

      1. They and you have a credibility gap a mile wide.
        I bet you’re still scared to shake someone’s hand.

        1. You haven’t answered my question. How do you decide what’s true concerning COVID? Follow your hunches? Read blogs? Read goat entrails? Believe the opposite of whatever the authorities say? Believe whatever sounds right to you?

          1. KM

            The less than stellar approach to Covid response by most governments in their mind equates to lies…..rather then incompetence which is what I believe.
            When you consider Stew Peters a good source of info…..There are some great publications available and researchers doing great work trying to answer many questions outstanding.
            Rather than wanting to understand the pandemic, it’s response and what we can expect moving forward…..they double down with the nonsense they have come to believe as truth.
            Next comes the name calling and childish behavior.
            Totally predicable…..

          2. PG:

            I often see the knee-jerk response of “Whatever the government tells me is a lie.”, and “Whoever believes the government is gullible.”

            But to automatically believe OR disbelieve the government is equally foolish. Both attitudes make one a puppet of the authorities. The better response “Interesting. Let’s see what the facts and research say about that.”

            IMHO, governments have sometimes lied about or overstated their cases, and public policy has often been questionable. But much of what they said about COVID has been true, and we shouldn’t deny that just because the government said it.

          3. How do you decide what sex you are? How about you and PG take your love fest somewhere else.
            You are a clown. Toss off.

          4. RedPop:

            So you just instinctively know if vaccines or masks work, do you? I’m skeptical.

            Also, a while ago the blog owner asked people to keep things tolerably civil. Not a horrible idea.

          5. Well KM, I know government gets harder to trust by the day. In the UK, where there still a semblance of plain raw data posted, the vaxxed are worse off than the unvaxxed, and measurably and demonstrably so. Not even mentioning the myocarditus which has killed over 500 elite young athletes in the last year, who were at essentially zero risk from Covid.

          6. Sorry, Killer, but the truth is that much of what the government has told us about Covid has not been true. Take a look at Pseudopandemic by Iain Davies. You can download a copy from his web site. Very informative and very damning. Governments have been less than honest regarding Covid.

          7. LindaL:

            On most points they’ve been honest, but they have told some fibs. Which is why I recommend you never trust what they tell you. If Fauci says water is wet, check the research on it.

        2. Peter:

          The idea that athletes are dropping in unprecedented numbers due to myocarditis from vaccination is very iffy. There has been no formal research on it. One outlet went through the well-known video of athletes dropping on the field and found that — of those clips where they could determine the athlete and date — many had nothing to do with myocarditis and vaccination. A fair number of those athletes hadn’t even been vaccinated yet.

          I think we’re being manipulated.

  14. A lot of discussion here about what is true, who to believe, what science to follow, on and on, ad infinitum. The experts at the very beginning told us that the virus was 99% survivable and in the same breath ushered in the requirements that off-label drugs could not be used for treatment that we had to wait for the vaccine which has proven to be less safe and effective than promised. The same can be said about Carbon Taxes saving the planet and that we must depend on wind and solar power in the future. If these examples are not not enough to make you disbelieve everything that the government tells you, then you are truly dumber that a bag of hockey pucks at an outdoor hockey arena in Prince Albert in the middle of January.
