11 deaths may sound alarming but is it above known risk.

Telenko has an interesting tweet today on the Orlan-10 UAV. The Ukrainians captured one nearly intact and pulled it apart. It’s made from bits you could buy in Bunnings, just about – including a plastic drink bottle for the petrol tank! Pundits are saying how shonky a design it is but I think it’s a very neat bit of kit, very cheap to make with readily available parts. Unfortunately some of those parts probably aren’t available in Russia now, but I’m sure Chinese-sourced bits and pieces could be gotten instead – since that’s where the stuff in Bunnings mainly comes from anyway.

ISIL was flying quadcopters carrying single 60mm mortar bombs back in 2012-14, and had the little bastards set up with remote releases, too.

Democratisation of technology, folks. You could roll into a hobby store for your motors, RC kit and fuel system bits, Bunnings for your fuselage bits and adhesives (Assuming you didn’t want to be lazy and just adapt an existing RC Almost Ready to Fly kitplane), an agri co-op for the makings for your explosive filling, and ultimately produce yourself something very similar. Of course, it (and you also) might not survive its assembly, and a switched opponent could jam it or shoot it down before it gets to hit its target, but it can be done by someone with a moderate skill level and a lot of 5-minute epoxy…

…
Professor Catherine Bennett, chair in epidemiology at Deakin University, told AAP FactCheck the public could be confident in the figures because of the stringent reporting and investigation processes used in cases of reported deaths.

“An expert clinical panel looks at each reported death,” she said, adding that these experts had access to doctors’ reports and medical records, and could request other tests.

It obviously needs repeating.
See here from Queensland Health’s website.
Where the doctor is comfortable the death is from a natural cause unrelated to the COVID-19 vaccine, the doctor is encouraged to issue a cause of death certificate. The death does not need to be discussed with or reported to the coroner.
But…
Doctors assessing if the death is from a natural cause unrelated to the COVID-19 vaccine should ask themselves these
questions:
• Has the vaccine directly caused the death?
• Has the vaccine caused a side effect or complication that has caused or significantly hastened the person’s death?
• Is there a need to reference the COVID-vaccine and/or a vaccine-related complication on the cause of death certificate?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes/possibly/probably/likely or unclear the doctor should seek advice from
the Coronial Registrar, Coroners Court of Queensland during business hours on (07) 3738 7050 or after hours on (07)
3738 7166.

Just to spell it out even for the most obtuse, in Qld (and I don’t know whether it’s the same elsewhere):
(a) a doctor can freely issue death certificates saying the vaxx wasn’t a factor;
(b) but if the doctor asks “has the vaccine directly caused the death” and answers “yes”, the doctor is not supposed to issue a death certificate – they’re supposed to “seek advice” from a government agency.
In the circumstances, rigorous analysis of “reported” deaths may not mean much.

Rhetorical question.

Sort of John I can think of some but rather more detailed list.

I am not vaccinated against Covid for these reasons, and I’m seriously reconsidering fluvax since Big Pharma have made it clear they intend to use mRNA for that too.

Indeed, the whole COVAX shit show has cast a light on the existing, similar fluvax business model:

1) Push annual shots for a virus that changes rapidly.
2) Said shots are likely already obsolete at the time of administration, being developed from last years strain.
3) They tell us we need to do it to protect grandma.
4) It doesn’t work and grandma dies anyway.
5) Rinse and repeat next year..

I too will be a LOT more choosy on what I let them jab me with in future, and thats even before considering the possibility that they might be outright lying about the contents of the shot itself.

The botty-pucker factor at Twitter HQ must really be at 11/10 right now.

The 9.2% cost something like $2.6 billion iirc. He paid eleven billion in tax last year alone, from the Tesla share sales. So he’s probably got a lazy twenty or twenty five billion sitting in the bank right now. Entire TWTR market cap is $37B. Yep, I’d say you’re right about the pucker factor.

Albo could still blow this. He is a deeply unimpressive individual.

The reason he’s in politics. He’d be flat out getting beyond shelf stacking at Godfrey’s in the real world.

Dad has just had it and recovered. He has minimum three months natural immunity

So say our wise health diktators, but the 3 month figure is ass-plucked. Its probably longer than that, but in reality, you are NEVER fully immune to a fast changing respiratory virus. You get a great foundation after natural infection, but you need repeated exposure to ‘update’ your antivirus software constantly as the virus changes. Most times, the variant you get exposed to next is quite similar to the previous one, so your immune system kills it with minimal or no symptoms. Every now and then, a significantly different variant arises and you get a symptomatic case.
The problem with ‘free immunity’ via vax is your immune system leans only ONE thing – what the spike protein in that vaccine looks like. Once that changes, your immune system goes blind to it. In contrast, natural infection gives your immune system lots of targets to build defences against, so you still retain a lot of protection even if the spike changes.

Tim,
That seems to suggest that doctors, in general, have an interest in covering up covid deaths.
I’m not convinced.

No, it suggests that the government might have an interest in persuading doctors not to report vaxx deaths.
They’re not even trying to hide the censorship. This is what AHPRA have said to every health professional in Australia.
‘There is no place for anti-vaccination messages in professional health practice, and any promotion of anti-vaccination claims including on social media, and advertising may be subject to regulatory action.’ [Link below]
So we know for certain that a government agency is threatening health professionals with “regulatory action” for critiquing the vaxxes.
Why is it so hard to accept that the “advice” being offered in relation to death certificates may be, shall we say, less than encouraging about recording what the doctor really thinks?
I don’t know that for certain of course, but if there is any other explanation for what QLD Health is telling doctors in the extract I’ve posted at 2.55pm no-one has been able to articulate what it might be.

Honestly.

Yep. I’m not buying that either. Not by a long shot.

But because I don’t buy that, it doesn’t automatically mean I have to invest in miniature self-replicating robots in vaccines, or mysterious chemicals that turn the blood of corpses into raspberry yoghurt.

Many of you were smarter than you have been for two years.
The reason you can’t put two and two together is your resolute pig headedness to not believe a coup took place in march 2020.
It might be scary petals, but that is what happened, and if you’d only stop shitting yourselves and admit the obvious you’d be able to work out what’s going on.
You’ve already jabbed yourself out of the ignorance caused by denial.
Not fear of a seasonal cold.
But because you would rather believe it was about covid than what it really is about.

Which I’ve been saying for two years now.

Supply chains are being re-routed. It will take 5 years or so to get things back to something approaching normal. We didn’t realize this was a weakness until Covid struck.

Nothing to do with covid you fucking moron.
It’s to do with a globalist takeover by force.
The sniffles don’t do that.

The economy is in weird territory.

We normally have supply problems from high growth, disasters or wars but now it’s a disease.

Businesses just can’t access ordered materials or machinery in a timely manner and the prices are rising by unprecedented percentages.

This has to cause a big drag on productivity into the future.

As people have been telling us would happen for years now.

They aren’t making educated guesses.

What you explained wouldn’t be hugely onerous on a doctor in reporting a death. If the doc can’t sign a death certificate because a person died suddenly then s/he should not be signing anything without further investigation.

That’s the whole point JC. A doctor who does all the necessary investigation and concludes “yes, the vaxx directly killed the patient” isn’t allowed to just issue a death certificate, whereas if the doctor concluded that the vaxx wasn’t to blame, they’re told to go ahead and sign off on that. It’s the double standard that sticks out, especially in the light of AHPRA’s threats against vaxx sceptics.

Furthermore doctors, at least regular doctors, wouldn’t know how a covid death looks without further investigation. I, frankly, don’t see the problem.

I presume you meant vaxx death.
But why do you assume that the certifying doctor hasn’t investigated? Why is a vaxx death different from anything like say an allergic reaction death or a snake bite death? There’s literature on what adverse reactions the vaxxes are known to cause, so it’s not as if a doctor can’t do the normal analysis of known signs same as for expected signs of any other cause of death.

Any time any doctor signs any death certificate they’re making a professional judgment on cause of death after having done whatever investigation they believe is necessary to confirm their opinion. And they’re always allowed to say they don’t know and suggest further tests if they’re not sure. But if they’re sure they issue the certificate.
Unless the government tells them that they’re not allowed to place the blame on the approved vaxxes.

Why is a professional opinion that the vaxx wasn’t a factor absolutely AOK, just sign away, all good, no further questions, while an opinion that the vaxx was a factor something which needs to be scrutinised by government even if the investigating doctor is certain?

Professor Catherine Bennett, chair in epidemiology at Deakin University, told AAP FactCheck the public could be confident in the figures because of the stringent reporting and investigation processes used in cases of reported deaths.

Pfizer strongly supports this statement

Didn’t most adverse vaccine reactions end up in hospital with recognised symptoms?

do you have even the slightest bit of evidence to support this? what are the specific “recognised symptoms” other than myocarditis and pericarditis?

I have not even been able to get a diagnosis for long covid after a year and 2 specialists.

That seems to suggest that doctors, in general, have an interest in covering up covid deaths.
I’m not convinced

What would convince you?

Briefly, yes.

Fourth dose booster ho

CONCLUSIONS
Rates of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe Covid-19 were lower after a fourth dose of BNT162b2 vaccine than after only three doses. Protection against confirmed infection appeared short-lived, whereas protection against severe illness did not wane during the study period.

With omicron infection isn’t that much of a risk, it is severe illness that might arise which is the risk. This study argues no waning of protection against severe illness.

For this analysis, we included persons who, on January 1, 2022, were 60 years of age or older and had received three doses of BNT162b2 at least 4 months before the end of the study period (March 2).

Note that they chose a sample most likely to have waning protection with 25%>80 and 42%>70. They positively selected for a worst case scenario. Good strategy.

That is a question that requires much more research. That probably exists but I haven’t gone looking for it. It could be T cell anergy or T cell elimination because the antigen is so much like a self protein the T cells undergo negative selection. Don’t know about B cells though. That’s where we need to be careful because antibody and T cell mediated immunity are very different processes.

So now I’ll go hunting. It’s out there, somewhere … .

Yes but the study period was only about 8 or 9 weeks. The proposition that Bruce referred to is that with two doses immunity against serious consequences waned after three months and vanished in six. This study didn’t test that for the fourth dose.

It seriously is amazing, it a good way, that the Carmichael mine is actually going ahead seeing there was big, big foreign meddling to try and stop it.

The car industry would have been viable without subsidy if the government had got out of the road with the taxation of all the imput costs of the car manufacturers, their suppliers and their suppliers and their suppliers…….and fuel and power and everyfucking thing that moves and doesn’t…….and then strangled the lot of it with regulation and UN sabotage via eco terrorism or green tape.
And then basic wallies like a few here blame wages of the car factory workers……when there were actually fuck of them left as it was mostly robotic.

The government took more than it gave back in subsidy, and that’s why we don’t have a car industry.
