That would be a good counter point to Hanse turning off the air con in Congress the night before he babbled on about Gerbil Worming in the summer of 1988 (?). Summer in DC without air con can be unpleasant.

Are the COVID Shots Working?
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola ? Fact Checked
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
? A recent report details a SARS-CoV-2 Delta outbreak in an Israeli hospital where 238 out of 248 (96%) of the exposed patients and staff had been fully vaccinated with Pzer’s mRNA vaccine
? Of the 238 fully vaccinated individuals, 39 (16%) were infected, as were three of the 10 unvaccinated individuals who got exposed
? While all of the sickened staff recovered, five infected patients died and nine turned into severe or critical cases. All of the dead and severe/critical cases were fully vaccinated. Two unvaccinated patients that got infected only had mild illness

? This outbreak tells us that the COVID shots cannot create herd immunity. It also suggests vaccinated people may be more prone to serious and lethal infection than the unvaccinated
? Of 41,552 hospitalized patients in the U.S., 73% of the unvaccinated, 71% of the partially vaccinated and 72% of the fully vaccinated received a diagnosis of COVID-like illness (CLI) between January 1, 2021, and June 22, 2021

You have spent an entire thread deriding “idiot commenters”, “loonies” and people that you claim can’t read a basic scientific paper.
It transpires that every single thing you’ve sneered at is explicable as a straightforward, correct analysis of the data as included in and used in the scientific paper in question.
Every. Singe. One.
And when the criticism that started it off was pointed out to the authors of that paper they accepted that it was valid.
We’re left with you insisting that some “loonies” (as you called them) had confused two sets of data and got into a terrible muddle, but it turns out that the percentage they came up with is exactly what you get by a straightforward, correct analysis of the data as included in and used in the scientific paper in question, an amazing coincidence which has been left unexplained. We’re just meant to take your word for it that your sneer at the “loonies” is justified, somehow, despite their answer being a demonstrably correct analysis of the actual data in question. 104/(827-700)= .8189, to that many decimal places. Keep the change.
If you don’t realise by now how ludicrously you’ve beclowned yourself you are beyond reasoning with. You’re the one who’s demanding we “move on”, and “leave it”. Well, now’s your chance to show you mean what you say.

“We need the most extensive and comprehensive response to this to get Australia back to normal,” he said.

“I’m advised we’ll need about a 95 per cent vaccination rate across the country.

“That is the normal target range for when you’re having a vaccination program and we’ll be seeking to ensure that that is widely implemented.”

On the pregnant women and the inoculation – it seems very simple to me. If women are told to avoid soft cheese, alcohol and smoking during pregnancy, especially the first trimester, it seems good sense to me to avoid taking an experimental drug.

I have no handle at all on complex studies and percentages and the like, but sometimes the simple approach is best.

On the pregnant women and the inoculation – it seems very simple to me. If women are told to avoid soft cheese, alcohol and smoking during pregnancy, especially the first trimester, it seems good sense to me to avoid taking an experimental drug.

That’s what I thought at first too, Calli. But then I had a look at the number of pregnant women in the third world who were dying of Covid along with their child in utero without help from even basic medical facilities, for pregnancy greatly enhances susceptibility to Covid infection in all who are pregnant no matter where they live, and I had second thoughts. Reading reports from medical staff in under-resourced clinics who nursed pregnant women dying of Covid was fairly gruelling too.

I was glad a cohort study was being done (mainly on Hispanic women) and that after some corrective revision indications were that nothing perceptibly deleterious was happening.

In a relatively Covid-free environment such as Australia has had to date I would have advised any pregnant rellie to think twice re the vaxx, especially in the first trimester. In a saturated Covid environment, the issue is nothing like as clear cut, especially now more time has elapsed for testing. I still don’t personally like any vaxx in pregnancy, but that may be just my gut reaction rather than soundly medically based.

The apparently insoluble problems of using WTE in the non-dried-dung world are:

1) The energy loss in evaporating water from the waste (even air- dried);

2) The energy loss in achieving sufficiently high temperatures to combust the dioxins in the exhaust gas.

I very much agree, Gilas. Putting up that lack of clarity in reporting during my days studying and then working in epidemiological modes would have seen me given short shrift.

However, it is only a cohort study and it is not trying to do anything too fancy, so I think given the urgency of the matter it was worth a preliminary report. That said, on the <20 weeks data, a key point of interest, how they managed to do what they did at first and not get picked up on it is, as I said in my review of the study yesterday, beyond me.

Not get picked up on it in peer review, I should have said there. Obviously the error was glaring and did get picked up after publication and corrected. I note that the NEJM Editorial spoke about it as though chewing on alum, trying to minimise the reputational damage. They knew it was a cock up.

NEJM and The Lancet have both done very badly as peer reviewers of late.

This wretched study also ‘went inclusive’, speaking of ‘pregnant persons’, I guess so they didn’t exclude in sampling the occasional preggers female-to-male trannie as well as for their main aim, to show how ‘woke’ they were. My view on that is that excluding any pregnant female-to-male trannie should be done automatically as the hormones taken to sustain that fantasy would contaminate any result from that woman and her pregnancy. Some would disagree of course, and say in that case one should exclude many other women taking lord-knows-what during pregnancy. As in all epidemiology, sampling is a minefield, but imho ‘woke’ terminology is not required re pregnancy: only women get pregnant. I’d hold the line on that at least.

Also, on the pregnancy/inoculation question. What happens in the third world is poles apart from the first world.

For a woman in her first trimester in Aus to submit to an experimental inoculation while eschewing Camembert and Champagne is a measure of how deep the conditioning on Covid has become.

Pregnant and more susceptible to complications? I have no doubt of it given the physiological changes pregnancy entails to both cardiovascular and the simple mechanics of breathing (could possibly be similar to the fatties who are also affected).

The apparently insoluble problems of using WTE in the non-dried-dung world are

Faustus – And (3) Nimbies flock in from as far away as Mars screeching Dioxin! Mercury! CO2!

The whole recycling scam started because every time councils tried to build a rubbish incinerator in the eighties the proto-Greens caused such ululating hysteria that they had to cancel. Meanwhile landfills were filling up and the Greens were totally opposed to opening more of them. So they forced ratepayers to separate out the plastic and cardboard and whatnot, then shipped bales of it to China, where it was carefully burnt out of sight of the Greens. Amazing what subsidies can do. That worked very well until the Chinese decided they didn’t like being the world’s rubbish tip and banned the practice.

So it’s amusing that WTE is starting to be mentioned all over again.

“I’m advised we’ll need about a 95 per cent vaccination rate across the country.

“That is the normal target range for when you’re having a vaccination program and we’ll be seeking to ensure that that is widely implemented.”

So there you are.

Goal posts officially moved again, “old and vulnerable” became 50%, became 60%, became 70%, became 80% now becomes 95%.

A total endorsment of Victoria and NT’s extremist ‘mandate’ lunacy from PM muddle headed wombat.

There are two things driving this: rivers of gold and promises of lifetime sinecures flowing into liberal party faceless men’s pockets from Pfizer, etc, and hubristic public health ‘advisors’ in Australia. Who are infamously smug to the rest of the world that we’re the Gold Standard(tm) on Health initiatives, especially vaccines. They love waltzing around explaining that Australia ‘achieves’ what nobody else can. The simply want to get to 95% to preen in front of the world what a bunch of goody two shoes faggots modern Australians are.

I noted something interesting and little commented upon in that tapestry – there was an occasional dragon biting its tail. This is an image of the mythical Scandinavian World Dragon, who if if he lets go of his tail will bring on Ragnorok, the final battle for the end of the world and the doom of the gods. The Normans at this stage were still Norsemen as well as Christians and the old beliefs often died hard, being maintained still in symbols and folklore. I noticed the same dragon carved over a lintel in the little church at Penmon, a sacred island off Anglesey. And don’t get me started on the shiela-na-gogs in churches throughout Britain and Ireland – stick figure women consisting almost entirely of a huge open vulva. Often explained as ‘fertility symbols’ they are far more than that. I suggest they reflect the Quim, the source of life as found in the mythic Volva goddesses of Scandinavia, where men would look to find the answer to the mysteries of the universe and human existence. Like the old father god The Green Man, in ancient churches still.

I have a freize copy of the Tapisserie, purchased at Bayeux. I must get it out to peruse the penises in better detail. Some of them were rather hard to see in that link, areff, and further research clearly must go on in the name of history and of science itself. 😀

Greetings from the thin edge of the New World wedge, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Those of you who think Australians are doing nothing are mistaken. They are using every means possible to fight the terrible totalitarianism descending upon them, and the world, like a suffocating blanket. But Australia has been engineered to perfection. The means of repression in Australia on every level – political, social, psychological, spiritual – have been refined and practiced to levels you might be yet to experience, but you shall, and soon (though I find it astounding that the memories of Brits and Yanks are so short).

Australian media is demonstrating mind-blowing expertise at deceiving, coercing, shaming, reframing, narratising and indoctrinating. It’s so clever that even if MOST Australians are opposed to what’s going on, we have no way of knowing, because the media can make it look as though NO-ONE is. Their selection of the details they want to highlight, edit, crop and present for “discussion” is breathtaking. Evil genius.

Never mind the fact that the media “talent” themselves are notoriously unintelligent. They are script readers extraordinaire. They are pamphleteers for the ruling oligarchy – not of Australia, but the world. They are the blunt instruments of those who crave absolute world power. These power-fond unknowables demonstrate the skill of surgeons as they use all the instruments at their disposal: political, military, religious, economic, scientific, media, technological, artistic. None of these fields is working for you. It’s patent that they are now working toward the same end, and that there is really only one enemy: us.

Don’t even believe their explanations for the next “war” when it comes. It’s important that you don’t. They will want your children to fight it. Their “good guy-bad guy” narratives should be the first thing you reject. You can proceed only according to this assumption: without God, no-one is good, though everyone claims to be.

You can no longer un-see this. We have been living in a dream state. This world is built on so many lies and deceptions for the sake of a small number of people, it’s got to the stage where truth – sorry, Truth – has been utterly negated. As a believer in God these days, I can say that the lessons of Scripture have not been learned. People still turn to people, nations to nations, for comfort – when they’re not turning ON one-another. They think these alliances will help. They turn to the very world that got them here in the first place. But there’s nowhere to turn in this world. Be as smug and scientific, as pompous and political, as you like. There’s nowhere to turn.

All this time people thought they were a mere audience. Some thought they were watching reality. Some knew they were watching theatre. It didn’t matter. They were written into the play all along, and now the fourth wall is down, the doors to the theatre have slammed shut, sentinels with guns guard them and the dramatis personae are menacing the audience. It’s easy for them now. After all, the audience willingly left their weapons (real and metaphorical) at the door before they entered.

This is participatory theatre, but your participation is no longer voluntary. To those of you who love this world, you’ll adore the final act! It’ll bring the house down! The rest of us live in hope that the much-ridiculed deus ex machina will provide the means of escape.

On biomass….

https://www.renewableenergymagazine.com/biomass/wood-pellet-exports-from-us-topic-of-20201104

Lets chop down and pelletise wood, which we will send across the ocean to be burnt to produce “green’ power!

In 2009, the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive (EU RED) established goals to produce more energy from renewable sources, triggering exponential growth in the solid biomass trade. By 2018, the EU was trading over 18 million tons of wood pellets, with a third imported from the southeastern United States.
Wood Pellet Exports from US Topic of New Study
Pixabay
But what effect does this large, new industry have on southeastern US forests? Until now, European policymakers could only infer that the region’s wood pellet industry was compliant with EU RED rules through case studies, land use projections, and literature reviews. This first-of-its-kind study gives a more definite confirmation of compliance.

From 2005 to 2017, an international team conducted a systemic assessment of 123 areas where wood pellet mills managed vast swaths of forest. Composed of researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, University of Missouri, and Resources for the Future, the team found the following trends:

Overall, there was a net expansion in the amount of carbon stored in southeastern forests–which means that current production is compliant with EU trade requirements calling for the preservation of carbon stocks in biomass sourcing areas.
The amount of carbon stored in the soil of southeastern forests decreased with each year of milling operations. There were no significant changes in the amount of carbon stored in live or standing-dead trees, but the carbon was concentrated in fewer but larger trees.
There was a downward trend in the number of standing-dead trees.
“All in all, our analysis suggests some positive areas but possible concerns if some trends were to continue. We examined 12 years of data, but that is only a small window of time to assess sustainable forestry,” lead author Francisco Aguilar said. “Monitoring using the best-available data shall continue. And it must be observant of other co-localized factors that can significantly alter forest conditions. For instance, systematic assessments must also take into consideration population changes, expansion in wood fiber demand from other competing sectors, and extreme weather.”

The researchers also note that the US Department of Energy suggests a 21% increase in domestic electricity generation using wood by 2030 may also signal a further increase in demand–and that future monitoring is warranted.

“This research provides the first comprehensive assessment of changes to US timberlands induced by demand in the EU for pelletized wood for energy production,” co-author and RFF Darius Gaskins Senior Fellow Dallas Burtraw said. “The findings provide cautious support for the sustainability of US forests, with ongoing monitoring, as demand for wood pellets is likely to increase.”

I can save them a lot of time and money.
There are vast reserves of wood available under the ground in the form of coal.
Youre welcome.

“I had a look at the number of pregnant women in the third world who were dying of Covid along with their child in utero without help from even basic medical facilities…”

Is that really a honest and balanced appraisal? Any Obstetrician/ Gynaecologist knows the origin of the cultural norm that it is perfectly acceptable in all cultures for an older man to have a younger wife. The original one died during childbirth.

Historically without modern medicine and available interventions when complications to the mother and pregnancy arise, having babies is a pretty hazardous undertaking. I believe the general rule of thumb is in times past and in places third world, up to 3/4 of pregnancies spontaneously abort in the first trimester. Up to 1/3 of women used to, and in a lot of places, still do die the course of actually giving birth or not long after due to infection in the absence of professional medical supervision.

Yep.

Less moisture to waste energy on liberating, more concentrated solid carbon, the combustion-aiding benefits of additional gaseous hydrocarbons in situ and any sulfites or nitrates exposed can be rendered harmless both through a sufficiently long flame/gas path and/or appropriate chemical ‘scrubbers’ at the exhaust end.

It also has a far nicer and less acrid smell, is easier to transport and store for any given unit of mass and volume And can in fact be generated in surprisingly short order from any lignin or cellulose-based biomass with the appropriate quantities of heat and pressure. Check out the coal deposits left behind after Mt Saint Helens went BOOOOOM! in 1989, and buried the redwoods and other tall and dense alpine trees in a decent layer of lava…

HD, I’ve no argument with recognising that women in the third world may have perilous pregnancies and fatal childbirths for mother and/or child. Afghanistan is a case in point given that women in the countryside with no pregnancy care and midwifery at all were not the concern of the ‘feminist’ women in the cities. But there’s no point in denying that many third world women were also dying from Covid infection when Covid was running in epidemic proportions. Vaccinations of all sorts have saved so many lives in the third world, so these vaxxes should be considered too. As Calli has noted, the third world is a different place. The risk equation is different there.

Rosie if any majority of 11 were ‘vaccinated,’ Victoria would have said so.
Ergo: we know with 100 percent certainty that a majority of deaths in Victoria were ‘vaccinated.’

The Andrews government is now deliberately killing people so that it can ride out the bell curve and claim ‘victory’ when “case” numbers go down.

Opening up is what’s needed. Melbourne is basically a funky, germ-ridden rumpus room that needs its windows thrown open and a full bond clean-out done on the surfaces and floors and dunnies.

It would require heroic levels of koolaid guzzling to conjure up a complete fantasy that if all or even most of the people who had died were not vaccinated that Victoria, of all, governments would suddenly start hiding that detail right now.

In the very moment that Victoria are threatening people with homelessness if they don’t get vaccinated, they stop reporting the vaccination status of people dying because they’re all unvaccinated.

I mean how honest to god delusional would you have to be to think that.

While I’m reluctant to re-ignite a tedious “debate” about a now well-worn matter, I have to ask those who would argue the minutae of a single study as if it could destroy the entire controversy around the “safety” of these jab – I have to wonder just how many jab-induced miscarriages would be acceptable? After all, each one is a death.

Similarly, perhaps we could be told just how many life-long jab-induced injuries would be acceptable; or how many children should be content to lose a parent to the jab because the parent has been pressured, coerced, blackmailed into taking it to keep their job and thus the ability to provide for their family? Seriously, the numbers are out there, even with so many adverse reactions not being reported or acknowledged, for there to be at least a sensible pause and honest re-evaluation of the entire debacle.

If this was indeed about our health and safety, that would be the logical response. But no, it’s full steam ahead. If you’re not asking why by now…

Prediction: in 2026 we’ll casually be told that the 2020/2021 vaccines were as effective as chicken soup.

Does this not sound eerily familiar?

Serious adverse events were first reported during post-marketing surveillance from Japan, UK, and subsequently from other places although most of the published articles did not report them. A recent Cochrane review and a series of articles in British Medical Journal (BMJ) have revealed the truth behind oseltamivir[Tamiflu] success story, which incidentally is one of the highest revenue earners for Roche. It is inexplicable that despite the lack of scientifically robust data on efficacy and safety of Oseltamivir, reputed organizations like World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), EMA, US FDA not only recommended the drug in question for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza but its stockpiling as well.

This fiasco essentially provides us with an opportunity to articulate tangible lessons so as to guard against such scientific transgressions in the future. There is a need to consider changes in the process of introduction of a new drug in the public health care system and to bring greater accountability and transparency in the way we practice science.

@ Elizabeth (Lizzie) Beare,
I can appreciate from whence your viewpoint arises, however I see the inference that corona makes any difference at all to mortality and morbidity relative to pregnancy as no more than another conceptual norm hijacked and used misinformatively. Obviously not intentionally or capriciously in your case.

I don’t disagree at all that actual, genuine vaccination is a means for public good, particularly in third world places. However, it is beyond dispute that the mRNA medical interventions are by definition gene therapy that has departed little from the protocols developed in the early-mid 1990’s. That while at the time reproducibly demonstrated here in Australia to “cure” type I diabetes, required endless “boosters”. Ultimately the risk of continued interventions (increasing auto immunity to modified pancreatic and other tissues) outweighed dramatically the risk of standard insulin injections as per normal management. If it is possible to use the term “management” relevant to a progressive disease such as IDDM.

Specifically in reference to these mRNA interventions and pregnancy. The design of the interventions, the general application thereof to pregnant women and the unborn is a stupid idea. For two observed reasons;

i) Given the limited publically available post-mortem studies, the lipid nanoparticle/ complex vectors are transversing both the blood-brain and blood-gonad barriers. Evident from the multi-systemic localised histologically visible micro scarring and clotting. If you want an immune response, you want it anywhere but the brains and gonads. These are the two organ systems all of Medicine is designed to protect and perpetuate.

While babies and children do have the capacity for the most part to overcome systemic nerve and brain damage, I can see so rationale to causing injury to the unborn en-masse, to an entire population before they have even “stepped” out of the womb.

ii) The rational design of the epitope coded for in the medical interventions, against which specific immune responses are sought is not very rational. Criminally negligent in fact. That carries for the non- mRNA vaccines like AZ . Many will argue intentionally just plain intentionally criminal. There is no reason at all why the mRNA’s had to be designed to produce immunity to a functional spike protein. Why the damned modified spikes most of the time will remain attached to the modified cells. Antibody dependent enhancement could have been avoided entirely by targeting entirely different portions of SARS Cov2.

—–

The way I see it, these interventions were specifically designed with pregnant women in mind. “Foundations” like the Bill and Melinda Gates after all being so concerned with the plight of people in the third world deliberately steered the design of these medical interventions. They never have had much success with their previous third world birth control/ family management campaigns.

By facilitating a level of care to women normally unavailable during pregnacy to ensure dramatic reductions in normal mortality and injury to both mother and child would create perhaps 1/3-3/4 more of a compounding “problem”. The problem being a larger population of people in the third world. More girls who’ll grow up without access to contraception, education and employment which by themselves lead to self regulation, flat lining and decrease of population growth.

In my view it is beyond reasonable doubt that very sick people are responsible for what is being seen to play out. The calculated sociopathic idea that the best way to improve the lot of people in the third world and the planet in general is to reduce future numbers. There is no rational, compassionate nor altruistic rationale for deploying an intervention that has a propensity to localise in the gonadal tissues and cause injury and scarring. Other than the rationale that if the people never happen there will not be a future problem of their welfare.

Emails between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, his business partner at consultancy Rosemont Seneca, show Schwerin was working on Joe’s taxes
The claim raises serious questions about whether funds from the joint accounts were used for Hunter’s May 2018 week-long bender with a prostitute
Last December, Hunter admitted in a public statement that he was under federal investigation over his tax affairs
A former federal prosecutor tells DailyMail.com that if money was flowing between Hunter and his father, that could make Joe a target of the probe

Word from the local supermarket is the frozen veg is really hard to get.
All levels of the production and storage slowed or stopped because of labour shortage caused by enforced staffing numbers or quarantine.

Buy fresh or grow your own then blanch and freeze it in meal-sized packages. Alternatively, if you have a Vacola preserving kit you can do it that way in bottles. If you’re into pickled veg/preserved in vinegar that’s another option.

Jais Valeur, boss of Europe’s biggest slaughterhouse, has warned the only way for agriculture industry to hit climate targets will be to dramatically reduce the amount of beef it produces
Beef is by-far the most polluting meat to produce, and Mr Valeur said there are not enough ways to reduce its environmental impact without getting rid of cows and cutting production
At the same time, demand for beef is set to rise meaning that prices will inevitably rise as supplies dwindle
Mr Valeur predicted that steaks will become ‘a luxury like champagne’ before the end of the decade
