The Daily Sceptic- Denmark Bans Covid Vaccines for Under-50s But Doesn’t Properly Explain Why

Denmark has banned the use of COVID-19 vaccines for people under 50 years of age, explaining that the ban is because widespread immunity and low risk from Covid mean the benefits from vaccination are too low.

Minimal benefit is of course a good enough reason for not recommending vaccination. But it is not reason enough to ban it. No product is banned simply because it isn’t useful. Products are banned only because they’re considered harmful.

The Daily Sceptic- Ivermectin Cuts Covid Mortality by 92%, Major Study Finds – Why is it Still Not Approved?

Regular use of ivermectin led to a 100% reduction in hospitalisation rate, a 92% reduction in mortality rate and an 86% reduction in the risk of dying from a COVID-19 infection when compared to non-users, a major new study has found.

The study, published in the medical journal Cureus, analysed data from 223,128 people from the city of Itajaí in Brazil and is the largest study of its kind, giving its findings a high degree of certainty. Senior author Dr. Flavio A. Cadegiani wrote on Twitter: “An observational study with the size and level of analysis as ours is hardly achieved and infeasible to be conducted as a randomised clinical trial. Conclusions are hard to be refuted. Data is data, regardless of your beliefs.”

Cureus- Regular Use of Ivermectin as Prophylaxis for COVID-19 Led Up to a 92% Reduction in COVID-19 Mortality Rate in a Dose-Response Manner: Results of a Prospective Observational Study of a Strictly Controlled Population of 88,012 Subjects

For over two years we were admonished to listen to the experts. It’s only now that the leftist corporate media is starting to pick up on the fact that there is, in fact, widespread and growing disagreement among the “experts” regarding Covid. The infighting is getting worse as many of the experts are now furiously pedaling their bicycles in reverse.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the real standard was never evidence or science, but rather the narrative. In the case of Covid, it was all about promoting the most apocalyptic vision possible. Now that the apocalypse failed to arrive, the revolution is eating its children. Dr. Atwal had better grow eyes in the back of his head and soon.

“Before COVID … colds went around. Most people did well. Some people still ended up in hospital back then. That was a severe outcome,” he said at a Friday news conference.

“There’s such a focus on infection right now occurring, but it’s OK to get infected,” said Atwal. “You’re building your natural immunity, so that’s good.”

I’m old enough to remember when the recommendation was one and done.

The Daily Sceptic- ONS Data Suggest a Vaccine Fatality Rate in the Over-75s of Up to One Every 275 Doses

The U.K. conducted a unique experiment beginning in late March and winding up in late August. All over-75s were offered a second ‘booster’ vaccination (fourth jab) and to date around 80% have taken up the offer.

eugyppius- Exhaustive study of German mortality data finds excess deaths tightly correlated with mass vaccination

Excess mortality in Germany 2020–2022 is a preprint by Christof Kuhbandner (a psychologist at Regensburg) and Matthias Reitzner (a statistician at Osnabrück) that applies sophisticated actuarial analysis to the publicly available all-cause mortality data provided by the German government. It turns out that when you account for historical mortality trends, the virus no longer looks so dangerous, and the vaccines no longer look so great.

AP- Jill Biden has ‘rebound’ COVID-19 case

Jill Biden, 71, and her husband, 79, have been twice-vaccinated and twice-boosted with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. She had been prescribed the antiviral drug Paxlovid, which has proven to be highly effective at preventing serious disease and death among those at highest risk from COVID-19, but a minority of those prescribed the drug have experienced a rebound case of the virus a few days after their initial recovery.

NIH- Are Lockdowns Effective in Managing Pandemics?

The price tag of lockdowns in terms of public health is high: by using the known connection between health and wealth, we estimate that lockdowns may claim 20 times more life years than they save. It is suggested therefore that a thorough cost-benefit analysis should be performed before imposing any lockdown for either COVID-19 or any future pandemic.
