Fool me once….

Three years ago, the principle of informed consent was unceremoniously dumped as a guidepost for public health matters. Most of the population seemed to have nearly limitless confidence in those who employed central planning to manage a pandemic response. Despite the subsequent train wreck, we are still seeing many individuals professing shock that they have been misled, once again.

When Brad MacLeod visited a pharmacy in Ancaster last week to get a COVID-19 vaccination, he was quite pleased. It was his sixth shot. But that happiness turned to alarm the next morning when MacLeod checked his vaccine certificate and realized he had received the same bivalent COVID-19 shot he received last November instead of the one he wanted — the new monovalent vaccine targeting the XBB.1.5 subvariant.

And who knew that the U of T has a Faculty of Information?

“There’s so much confusion around emerging variants and new vaccines and which protects against which that it’s very difficult for experts to stay abreast of what’s going on,” said Colin Furness, assistant professor with the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information…

Rinse and Repeat

There’s no reason not to try something that’s never worked every other time its been tried. This time we “feel” it will work.

Globe and Mail- B.C. COVID-19 hospitalizations up 58 per cent in two weeks, as infections, deaths also spike

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced last week that mask mandates were returning to health-care settings across B.C. during the respiratory illness season.

Naivete mindedness

As SDA readers are well aware of, any conservative or libertarian who challenges popular narratives on almost any topic is bound to be branded a conspiracy theorist these days. In this talk, Dr. Philip McMillan notes that academia seems to be going all out to create new terms like “conspiracy mindedness” in an effort to attack ideas that they don’t like. In rebuttal, he proposes a new term that deserves to gain some traction: naivete mindedness.

“It would be very interesting if they did a similar conspiracy theory scale looking at a naivete mindedness scale so they look at the opposite end: those people who don’t question anything, who go along completely with what they’re told even if what they’re told doesn’t necessarily make sense… that’s the naivety minded sense and it would be interesting to see what the outcomes of those kinds of research would be anyway.”

Stating the obvious

When you see media articles puzzling over how the pandemic seems to have made society less civil, you just have to wonder how brain dead someone must be not to have seen this coming.

A lot has happened in the time since March 2020, and some Canadians feel that one of the characteristics the country used to be known for – kindness – may no longer be an accurate stereotype.

They’ve turned to social media to ask whether anyone else has noticed society being “increasingly unkind” and “disrespectful” since the pandemic.

CTV is soliciting opinions in regard to this problem, but it’s unlikely anyone who strays from the narrative is going to see their thoughts publicized.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

Architect of the biggest cya operation in modern history.

Last month, Committee Chair Brad Wenstrup made headlines when he revealed that seven CIA analysts “with significant scientific expertise” on the agency’s COVID-19 Discovery Team (CDT) received performance bonuses after changing a report to downplay concerns about a possible lab origin of the virus.

Now, a months-long investigation by Racket and Public, which included interviews with the CIA whistleblower behind last month’s revelations and others in a position to know, reveals that Fauci not only visited the CIA but also pushed the controversial “Proximal Origin of SARS CoV-2” paper, published by Nature Medicine, in meetings at the State Department and the White House.

Previous reporting already showed that Fauci “prompted” the “Proximal Origin” paper, according to its authors. Lead author Kristian Andersen expressed grave doubts about the natural origin theory even months after Nature Medicine published the paper. And they described themselves as pressured by “higher ups,” referring to individuals in the White House and other government agencies.

Now, the new information from multiple sources, including a CIA whistleblower, a senior government investigator, and a senior official, suggests a broad effort by Fauci to go agency by agency, from the White House to the State Department to the CIA, in an effort to steer government officials away from looking into the possibility that COVID-19 escaped from a lab.

“Fauci’s expert opinions were a significant consideration and were part of our classified assessment,” said the CIA whistleblower, a decorated and long-serving CIA officer with expertise in Asia. “His opinion substantially altered the conclusions that were subsequently drawn.”

Fauci had reasons to push scientists and intelligence analysts to believe the virus had a zoonotic origin since his agency had issued a grant to fund research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China.

Wuhan Flu: The Long Cold Science

Shocking, I know: In a bold new paper, three academics criticize how #longCovid has been studied. They say the term itself is so ill defined it should be discarded and that the studies have often been riddled with bias.

The one-legged stool

British physician and medical researcher Dr. Philip McMillan has been a vocal critic of the Covid pandemic response since day one. In this thirty minute presentation, he looks at some disturbing trends he currently sees in highly vaccinated populations. The problem, as he sees it, is that the overwhelming reliance on vaccines as a means of fighting Covid essentially means that we have one tool in the drawer and little else.

“I don’t think the world is properly prepared for what this could look like…. I mean [the] immune system gets destroyed bit by bit the more shots you take….your immune system is like an army with multiple facets… [it] has an Air Force it has a Navy it has the army on the ground it has the Marines it has the paratroopers and what I think we’re seeing is that you are putting all of your resources into only one group: your army…. it’s kind of like building up your paratroopers numbers so that they’re in the millions and you’re not spending any money on your Navy or your Air Force and then what happens is that you are not prepared for different kinds of enemies….so it’s not that the immune system is weaker I just think that the immune system has been focused in a way that makes it difficult to be able to neutralize… what we’re seeing…”

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

@CollinRugg;

BREAKING: A whistleblower has come forward alleging the CIA offered officials a significant amount of money to say that COVID did *not* come out of the lab in Wuhan.

“The Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have received new and concerning whistleblower testimony regarding the Agency’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19,” a letter to CIA Director William Burns said from House COVID Subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup & House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner.

“According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed that intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China,” the letter continued.

“The seventh member of the Team, who also happened to be the most senior, was the one officer to believe COVID-19 originated through zoonosis.”

“The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position.”

The conspiracy theorists were right again.

Safe and Effective®

Vinay Prasad;

The Biden administration asked Marion Gruber and Phil Krause at FDA to approve the initial booster (dose 3) for all ages. They refused, and ultimately resigned citing political pressure. Since then, many colleges and universities mandated this controversial decision and later the bivalent booster in young adults— despite uncertainty about net effect.

This fall, one more unproven dose marches forward. A new shot is scheduled to debut this month. In the US, CDC has hinted it will be pushed down to 6 months of age. Meanwhile, the UK and Australia advise it only to 65+. This difference is staggering.

These facts paint a concerning picture that the US policy is unjustified. Paul Offitt maker of the RotaVax agrees. He says in Science, that he, aged 72, will not get the fall booster.
