Follow The Science? What Science?
Do small children really need to be vaccinated, or are we being conned by politicians and drug companies.
Facts are needed in discussion about kids and COVID-19 vaccine
What Does It Mean To Be Vaccinated?
Lancet paper discussed in video.
Speaking of shenanigans with data, the new UK numbers are out. It looks like they’re starting to hide what’s going on now that the numbers aren’t following the narrative.
Cuts Like a Knife
NP- Bryan Adams tests positive, forced to cancel Tina Turner duet at Rock & Roll hall of fame.
A spokesman for Adams, who originally sang the duet Run to You with Turner in 1985, has assured fans the rocker is “fully vaccinated and has no symptoms at all”.
Seems like there’s a theme developing.
Remember when…
… they used to take pretty much everyone’s tonsils out?
In this study of almost 1.2 million children, of whom 17 460 had adenoidectomy, 11 830 tonsillectomy, and 31 377 adenotonsillectomy, surgeries were associated with increased long-term risks of respiratory, infectious, and allergic diseases. Although rigorous controls for confounding were used where such data were available, it is possible these effects could not be fully accounted for. Our results suggest it is important to consider long-term risks when making decisions to perform tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy.
Not 100%, but….
In what seems to be a remarkable turn of events, the CBC actually ran this story without attempting to hide a whole lot.
The cases are linked to a three-on-three league for men over the age of 50, who had been playing at the rink for several years. All are considered breakthrough infections because they were among fully vaccinated people, the health unit said.
“I’m still trying to figure out how this all sort of happened.”
The medical authorities may have a lot of “figuring” to do over the next few months. Perhaps they could start by walking back the widely accepted but absolutely false idea that vaccination means you cannot spread Covid. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that since last spring I’d be considering early retirement.

Aspiration Update
Why the standard procedure around giving the shots ignores basic common sense good practices is both infuriating and perplexing.
Then there’s all the adverse reactions around the shots themselves. A few days ago the UK put out an official 100 page paper cataloging what’s been reported in their “Yellow Card” system for a little over a year now.
“New Diseases”
Alex Berenson has just posted a few pages from his upcoming book. The chapter is about “Long Covid” but what he says about a number of other new illnesses is quite interesting.
I for one had no idea that my life time accumulation of work related aches and pains could be easily diagnosed as fibromyalgia. Had I gone the pill popper route to deal with this who knows how many different pain meds I might be on.
The vaccines are “working”….
A vaccine proclaimed as 98% effective combined with a mass vaccination program was supposed to allow a return to normal existence. Judging by what is now happening in the UK, the window for normal existence may be closing rapidly, less than 4 months after most restrictions were lifted.
The culprit? That could never be a vaccine whose effectiveness was deliberately oversold to the public. Rather, the problem arose when the failings were not covered up with the permanent imposition of a bewildering myriad of restrictions on normality. The vaccination program is starting to resemble an inept worker whom the authorities must “protect” from the consequences of his own incompetence, instead of demanding accountability:
“We have the vaccines and we know which public health protections are effective … but the government has removed all public health protections to protect the vaccination programme.”
Approved or Under Evaluation?
People have noticed that back in July the NIH website added Ivermectin to its list of “Antiviral Agents That Are Approved or Under Evaluation for the Treatment of COVID-19”. No word on which it is, approved or under evaluation. It does link to a list of clinical trails but it doesn’t look like the most comprehensive list there is.
Some discussion of this finding in a video here.
Pretend You’re Not Vaxxed
CBC- One in five N.B. COVID-19 deaths were people who were fully vaccinated
A COVID-19 antibodies researcher expects to see more deaths among fully vaccinated people as vaccine effectiveness begins to wane. “The vulnerable are becoming vulnerable again,” said Rodney Russell, a professor of immunology and infectious diseases at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Anyone over the age of 65, even if they got two shots of vaccine, should pretend they’re not vaccinated. “If you can’t get a third shot, then you need to act like you haven’t been vaccinated because you may not be protected,” said Russell.

Vaccination Status of COVID-19 Deaths in Ireland between 1st April 2021 and 9th October 2021
From the UK- COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report Week 41.
In the UK report pages 10, 13 and 16 are the ones I find most interesting. High level of vaccine uptake amongst the older more vulnerable population, more covid cases needing hospitalization in the double vaccinated, by a long shot, and more deaths as well.
How’s that vaccine passport working in Ontario?
And before I forget “Operation Red Nose” has been cancelled again this year in Canada. So vaxxed or not if you get liquored up this holiday season you’re on your own.
Operation Red Nose Steinbach/ La Broquerie will not be offering its safe ride campaign this year. This follows a similar announcement made earlier in the week by the national Operation Red Nose office.

Psycho-Babble
From Frontiers in Psychology- Prevalence of Psychopathy in the General Adult Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The prevalence of psychopathy is significantly higher among workers in some organizations and companies (e.g., managers, executives, procurement and supply professionals, advertising workers) than among university students or people from the general community. In turn, the prevalence of psychopathy among university students is significantly higher than among people from the general community, although the latter result could be due to the type of career that university students are pursuing (e.g., company careers vs. helping careers).
The quote doesn’t adequately capture all the different avenues of the psychopaths they looked at its just a taste of it. And there’s some rather obvious categories they seem to have left out.
Northern Breakthrough
“Most of our cases were fully vaccinated with high cases in children, adult age groups 20-29 and 40-29,” Anderson said. 90 per cent of Norway house health district’s eligible residents are at least partially vaccinated, according to DataMB.ca.
And via CBC
There were 963 active cases of the virus in the province as of Friday, with First Nations people accounting for about 520 of those cases.
This sounds vaguely familiar.
Update (from Kate): 28% of today’s new 12+ Saskatchewan cases were fully vaccinated. That’s not an argument not to get vaccinated. It’s an argument that vaccine passports are coercive authoritarian Covid theatre.
Postcard from Switzerland
SWI- Switzerland Today
Health workers may be on the frontline when it comes to dealing with Covid pandemic but they are not quite at the forefront when it comes to vaccination rates. In some Swiss cantons the rate is only 50% among nurses. Too much knowledge could be to blame. First-hand observation of the side effects of the vaccine, as well as worry about long-term consequences, are some of the reasons listed for vaccine reluctance among healthcare professionals.
Too. Much. Knowledge.
(You have to hit the drop down button by “Swiss health and safety is not as great as you would think.” in the link to see the quote.)
Fish and Chips and Vax
The latest UK vaccine surveillance report.
I noticed a couple of interesting things in here. First off they acknowledge natural immunity as part of the equation.
Based on antibody testing of blood donors, 97.8% of the adult population now have
antibodies to COVID-19 from either infection or vaccination compared to 18.9% that
have antibodies from infection alone. Over 95% of adults aged 17 or older have
antibodies from either infection or vaccination.
This confidence level chart was interesting.
As was this chart that combines vaccination status with age.
There’s lots of other things in the report. Have a look and add what you find interesting in the comments. There’s also a number of other things that people are curious about which are not in the report. And if you click on the above charts they fill go to full screen size.
No Moderna for You
Chief Epidemiologist Þórólfur Guðnason has decided that Iceland will halt the use of the Moderna vaccine in Iceland. RÚV reports that the decision was made after reviewing new data from the Nordic countries, which shows an increased incidence of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle (or myocaridum), as well as pericarditis, an inflammation in the membrane surrounding the heart (or pericardium), among people vaccinated with Moderna.

NYT-Can Estrogen and Other Sex Hormones Help Men Survive Covid-19?
Both hormones are believed to be safe, especially when used for short durations. Participants will be warned of possible side effects that may be a first for many men, like tenderness in the breast and hot flashes.
For a frame of reference here’s what’s not considered safe.
