If the vaccines reduce the severity of covid infections then perhaps they also reduce the likelihood of covid induced myocarditis.

Sorry Rosie but that does not follow since no study is provided to show myocarditis is less or more severe with or without a vaccine.
For higher risk young men, no evidence is provided that this cohort faces any increased risk of myocarditis from other vaccines.
The arrogance of the medical bureaucracy is astounding. They think we’ll swallow this illogical bullshit and be happy.

The ten fold increase in young men cited is not a result of severe disease as this group have very low risk of ever going to hospital from covid.

It’s too early in the working day to find the links, but the evidence for increased risk(as a result of the genetic vaccines) of myocarditis and other manifestations of cardiac problems particularly in young men is well known. The epidemiologists and other specialists who have seen the accumulating evidence have been very vocal about this serious problem for some time.

It was my immediate concern recently when my (vaccinated) athletic grandson developed chest pains when his father recently suffered a serious injury. “Stress” you might say …..hmmmm

the ADF who turned up for a photo op and put trash on people’s lawns.

Hang on. Ease up there Dot.

If that trash was originally on a roadway, and particularly one that led directly to a hospital then that’s what any disaster plan calls for. One of the first recovery actions is to clear arterial routes to medical services. It’s certainly in Darwin’s recovery plans for cyclones, and that’s what happened in the immediate aftermath of Cyclone Marcus in 2017.

That the ADF turned up late is not the fault of the ADF people who arrived to give the punters a chop out. This was lost on quite a few residents, and there are reports that they were actually spat on by people because they presumably weren’t there in ten minutes with one Blackhawk per person and free jetskis for everyone.

That the ADF personnel – whoever they were – didn’t start removing teeth and burn the remains of said spitter’s house down is to be commended. Perhaps their target should have been the NSW SES head who repeatedly knocked back their earlier offers of assistance.

The ten fold increase in myocarditis in young healthy men not in hospital is not diagnosed or dealt with by the study.

The findings in this study are subject to at least six limitations. First, the risk estimates from this study reflect the risk for myocarditis among persons who received a diagnosis of COVID-19 during an outpatient or inpatient health care encounter and do not reflect the risk among all persons who had COVID-19. Second, misclassification of COVID-19 and myocarditis is possible because conditions were determined by ICD-10-CM codes, which were not confirmed by clinical data (e.g., laboratory tests or cardiac imaging) and could be improperly coded or coded with a related condition (e.g., pericarditis).

Without even going to any links….dishonest people clutching at straws are producing reports dated before the vaccines were administered claiming that covid caused myocarditis and other heart problems we didn’t see prior to their introduction.
We have many many many times on this blog shown that those reports were Fauci funded orgs.
In other words he knew what was going to happen once those killer jabs were introduced.
They knew.
Although this has been proven and boosters will be coming notafan wants to assure you that when you die of something not one unjabbed young person has died from it’s because of covid not the booster you took.

Zipster,

We might be chasing a red herring. The waning of of vaccine efficacy is not uncommon. I’m not going to bother looking into this anymore because as indicated below no-one understands why it happens. If the experts are puzzled by it there’s no point me wasting my time over it.

That was my initial point. Nobody knows why it wanes so quickly. There is something going on that isn’t good. Even the European medical agency said multiple boosters will damage your immune system. Why are only boosters damaging? My guess is that every shot damages your immune system. It’s know that S1 damages monocytes and depletes t-cells. Zero studies have been done to to ensure mRNA generates spike protein does not liberate S1.

You might get a high immune alert reaction for a few months but the immune system doesn’t seem to recover particularly in the older demographic. There isn’t exactly a rush to investigate either.

My observation for what it’s worth, is you can predict the industry focus entirely based on what does and does not drive vaccine sales. Hence the near complete lack of interest by governments in linking long covid with residual S1 debris.

BoN, I’m reminded strongly of Lewis’ story about the N.I.C.E. Just enough truth to muddy the waters and lull the punters.

I’m simply saying young men know the risk of vaccine related myocarditis and can make their decisions accordingly.
It’s an argument against vaccine compulsion.

My son, sons in law and my grandson didn’t know. The risk was not explained to any of them. That might be different now at a doctor-patient level, but the blaring of the MSM and our so-called “Health” entities are not explaining or warning about it in their wall to wall advertising.

How can anyone make a rational decision if they aren’t told, or that the risks are hidden beneath a blanket of pooh-poohing conspiracy theory allegations. The vaxx hesitant are still labelled anti-vaxxers, despite what we now know.

On your second point…quite so. Compulsion to take these things is a disgrace. You could argue that they were injected of their own free will, but when fear is ramped up, the things are promoted as a public good and dangers hidden, exactly how “free” is it? And that’s without considering loss of job or other restrictions placed on the unvaxxed.

Senator Renick mentioned a tga whistleblower claiming that the true number is 2000+. My guess based on the extrapolation is the number is far higher due to active suppression in linking vaccine injuries to vaccines.

Unbelievable stuff.

Well, he is Vlad’s close ally, so there’s that.

Putin is godfather to Mr Medvedchuk’s daughter and is one of his closest allies. Mr Medvedchuk is the leader of the Opposition Platform for Life, Ukraine’s biggest opposition party and in March the party was suspended by President Zelensky for its links to Russia. He was put under house arrest three days after Russia invaded Ukraine but swiftly escaped and has been on the run until today’s announcement. The Official Twitter of the Security Service of Ukraine wrote: “You can be a pro-Russian politician and work for the aggressor state for years. You can even wear a Ukrainian military uniform for camouflage… But will it help you escape punishment? Not at all! Shackles are waiting for you.” Journalist Luke Harding wrote: “This will further infuriate Vladimir Putin. Medvedchuk is – or was – Ukraine’s foremost pro-Kremlin politician. He looks tired and distraught.”

On that description I’d say exchanging him for a few Ukrainians might be a favour to Mr Medvedchuk. It’d be dangerous for him to stay in Ukraine in the current hypernationalistic hysteria.

Election 2022: Greens leader Adam Bandt says he sees teal independents as allies
exclusive
Rachel Baxendale
VICTORIAN POLITICAL REPORTER

1 Comment

Greens leader Adam Bandt sees the teal independents as allies in his bid to bring down the Morrison government, put climate change on the agenda and win the balance of power in the Senate.

Despite years of the Greens claiming to be an unstoppable force in inner Melbourne and Sydney, polls show they may again fail to pick up any lower house seats in addition to Mr Bandt’s seat of Melbourne, which he has held since 2010.

But it’s a different story in the Senate, where the Greens are hopeful of winning additional seats in Queensland, South Australia and NSW, on top of the nine they hold.

Asked what he made of teal independents running in previously safe Liberal seats, some of which have been targeted by the Greens, and whether he saw them as allies or rivals, Mr Bandt told The Australian: “We welcome their ­entrance into the race.

“We welcome anything that draws attention to the terrible ­climate policies of Labor and Liberal, and we’ll be campaigning hard in those seats for people to vote Greens in the Senate.”

Mr Bandt said Treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s Kooyong was the only seat being contested by a teal independent that was also being targeted by the Greens. “We’d already done a lot of groundwork before (Voices of Kooyong candidate) Monique Ryan announced she was running,” he said when asked why his party was running in that seat, where candidate ­Julian Burnside won 21.24 per cent of the primary vote in 2019.

Mr Bandt said the Greens ­believed their strongest chances of winning lower house seats were in Queensland, where they are targeting Labor frontbencher Terri Butler’s seat of Griffith, assistant minister Trevor Evans in Brisbane, and Liberal backbencher ­Julian Simmonds in Ryan. “The feedback in inner-city Brisbane is that Labor’s approach of agreeing with the Liberals on all the key ­issues is benefiting the Greens.”

Conspicuously absent from the party’s list of targets in NSW are Anthony Albanese’s seat of Grayndler, and Tanya Plibersek’s seat of Sydney, where the Greens vote has steadily declined.

Instead, Mr Bandt said, the party has its eye on Richmond, centred on Byron Bay on the NSW north coast, and Canberra.

In Melbourne, Mr Bandt says, he’s targeting Macnamara, held by popular first-term Labor MP Josh Burns, Higgins, held by Liberal paediatrician Katie Allen – also eyed by Labor – and Kooyong, as well as the inner-northern Labor seats of Cooper and Wills, held by Ged Kearney and Peter Khalil.

In Cooper, previously known as Batman, the Greens fared even worse in recent times, scoring a primary of 39.39 per cent at the 2018 by-election, which saw Ms Kearney narrowly elected, but losing almost half that following public infighting to poll 21.14 per cent in 2019, soon after now senator Lidia Thorpe lost the corresponding state seat of Northcote to Labor. The Greens’ vote similarly fell in Wills in 2019. Mr Bandt blamed exchanges of preferences between the major parties.

RedBridge polling company director and former ALP assistant state secretary Kosmos Samaras said the Greens had been suffering “issues relevancy” since the pandemic, having “vacated the field” on health and economic issues.

“A lot of people viewed that two-year period as a period of acute stress and trauma, but also a period where politics did actually matter to them. If they were on the left, the Greens were basically not around, but (Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews was,” he said.

The ALP are pivoting away from the economy to health care with big bucks.

I think this is what got Labor elected here in South Australia. Their entire campaign was about “health” – ambulances, ramping, doctors, nurses, etc.
They openly implied that all the suffering and death from covid was caused by the Liberals recklessly opening up the state borders.

As much as I’d like to think the Libs were thrown out by enraged conservatives, I suspect it was timid, frightened victims of Gov and MSM brainwashing who ran to hide behind Labor’s skirts from the nasty viruses.

“No-one understands why vaccines wane. “

True, but we can guess.
Given the prevalence of auto-immune diseases, it seems likely that the “target” protein for the vax is very similar to some human proteins – same as many cold and ‘flu virus’ are.
This would mean that immune systems that “forget” such “similar” proteins would result in a greater survival advantage, and so become dominant.
This is why even though there are only about half a dozen ‘flu variants, you keep getting them, but for chicken pox, tetanus etc you are immune for decades at least.
So if that is true, your immune system is evolutionary “programmed” to “forget” immune responses that might “damage” you, and this one certainly seems in that category. It would/will be interesting to see the numbers in a year or two – comparison between 0/1/2/3/4 dose at that time might tend to support (or not) that theory.

Yes, and Labor are very good at running emotional distractions on such issues as health and ambos etc. However, I believe those kind of emotive Labor scare campaigns work mainly in marginals. That doesn’t explain the huge swings against the Marshmallow government in safe Liberal seats. Marshmallow was a soft supine leader who led a mint Green progressive government and so come election time, people registered their anger and disgust.

In a prior, as usual, witty and entertaining conversation with head prefect I opined that there was a 50:50 chance the demorats would either cancel or disrupt the mid-terms because in any fair election they would be reduced to AOC’s teeth and Joe’s colostomy bag. Well, Naomi Wolf agrees:

Naomi Wolf: 2020 was the story. It launched a narrative. The narrative is you can restrain billions of people, lock them in their homes, inject them against their will, mask them against their will, destroy their economies, suppress all their human rights, but if the narrative said COVID, that was the plausible deniability that you weren’t an outright fascistic tyrant… And you’re right to worry about the midterms. Given the history of totalitarianism, there’s no reason to believe the midterms that will deliver a resounding defeat to the Biden administration are going to be allowed to unfold without an emergency. And if that emergency keeps us all at home, all the better.

Fuel refiners get $250m to shore up supply

Dominic Giannini

Latest News

Two federal government grants of $125 million will go to two refiners in Queensland and Victoria to shore up Australia’s domestic supply of fuel.

The grants will be matched by the Ampol refinery in Brisbane and the Viva Energy refinery in Geelong for major facility upgrades and to strengthen local production.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the investment will secure domestic fuel production and supply amid global uncertainty stemming from events like the conflict in Ukraine.

“COVID-19, the Russian war in Ukraine and trade restrictions have disrupted global supply chains and Australia is not immune,” he said.

“Oil refineries literally fuel a stronger economy and these investments will help keep our truckies, miners, defence force and farmers moving across Australia.”

An extra 500 construction jobs will be added across both refineries, the prime minister said.

The projects are expected to be completed before the end of 2024.

The funding comes from a fuel security package announced in the 2021/22 budget.

Once you have a disease that can be asymptomatic, yet register you as sick, and once the vaccine for it is declared to never stop you from catching the virus, and only lessens the symptoms they didn’t know how bad you were going to have them….ALL reports need to be treated as bullshit.
At the start they told us one jab and you’d never catch covid.

Not true, Rosie.
Normally requires multi-generational animal studies.
Normally requires at least 2-3 years of human trials.
These were “skipped” or “abbreviated” for COVID vaxes.
Sorry, there is just no way that they can honestly say “all done” – except that they had “permission” to skip certain things because “urgent need”, or whatever. In fact, the reason they got legal protection for bad outcomes is precisely because they didn’t follow “standard” procedures in this case – without such protection, they never would have released them (and neither should they have), too high a risk of exposure to compensation claims that would have sent them broke (yes, even Fizzer!)

Australian Communications and Media Authority
Media Release

13 April 2022
SBS documentary exceeds PG classification

An SBS documentary about the final year of World War II in Europe has been found to have breached the SBS Code of Practice after an Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) investigation found it exceeded its program classification.
The program Hitler’s Last Year was classified by the broadcaster as PG and was broadcast on SBS at 5.30pm on 20 March 2021.
ACMA chair Nerida O’Loughlin said that SBS classified the program as PG, enabling it to be broadcast at any time of the day. However, in accordance with the SBS Code of Practice, depictions of violence in PG programs should be mild in impact and not shown in detail.
“The classification system is an important guide for the public so they can make informed decisions about whether a program is suitable viewing for them,” Ms O’Loughlin said.
“While the documentary by virtue of its topic is distressing and has educational merit for children and adults alike, the depictions of violence and treatment of themes in the documentary that went to air went beyond what can be accommodated under the PG classification category.”
The ACMA found that the broadcast exceeded the PG requirements for depictions of violence to be mild in impact and not be shown in detail. The ACMA also found that the frequency, level of detail of the discussion and visual illustration of distressing themes had a cumulative impact that was not mild and may have been disturbing to some children.
As a result of the investigation, SBS will include the findings in staff training and explore ways of facilitating its audiences making better informed decisions around historical documentaries.

They all want us dead yet want to introduce a vaccine passport, digital social credit scheme…yeah right struth…why bother with the digital passport if they want to kill us all.
Fuck off struth you idiot.
You can hear it ticking over in their now mushy brains.
Firstly, they want to kill off us…people who have experienced freedom…..not everybody.
If you can’t destroy a vibrant rich beautiful civilisation from the outside, it must be done from the inside.
Which we all know they’ve been working at for decades.

More than you dying, what they want from you now, is the mental decline from knowing it.
or suspecting it.
Your bewilderment and confusion.
It may be argued I’m helping them in showing you that they do intend to kill you.
Not very nice of me and helping the enemy struth!
No because you can stand up against boosters.
You’re not supposed to work things out until it’s too late.
You’re meant to scoff at “conspiracy theorists” and “nanna killers” take that third, forth, fifth jab (that still hasn’t freed you, while not one SoE has been rescinded anywhere) until when you do wake up, it then turns you destructive, or very sick.
Right now you are in denial.
The next step, via blaming a small Eastern European war for food shortages, massive inflation and the usual tricks socialists do to destroy a country, which make us turn on each other, as we are already starting to do, and too busy trying not to starve to fight them.
Classic Venezuela style.
You’re not going to all die at once, you’ll be getting cancer soon, or anything that you catch via VAIDS which, as cases rise will put pressure on everyone until we get total social collapse.
They will then save those left (their new slaves) only if the accept the social credit points, pack them densly into shared unit accommodations (you’ll own nothing and be happy)to allow for rewilding and, well no need to go into the rest of the insanity they have planned, yet they aren’t hiding because they know YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW.

You are supposed to believe that it is because the vax “wanes” that people are dying of covid, and become so insane as the death rate explodes as to think it is all from covid (when it’s from the jabs) and at least another jab will give you a few weeks protection, while as you die claiming, well thank god I got the vax or this could have ended much worse.

“Really Kneel.
There’s a polio epidemic and the best advice to parents was to not get their children vaccinated?”

The point is not that same vaccines are more dangerous than others – certainly “live, attenuated” polio vaccine is significantly more dangerous than most. But the disease is also very dangerous, killing or seriously injuring a much greater proportion of all ages than COVID. And we know very well the likely side effects and other risks with that vaccine. Ditto most others like tetanus, chicken pox etc etc. With COVID vaxes, we just don’t have the data on long term effects – obviously, we can’t because they haven’t been around long. So mandating is unethical at best.

And if you care to check, you’ll find that there have been many attempts (going back to the 1950’s) to create a vaccine against the common cold and a “universal” ‘flu vaccine. Most have failed, and a great many failed for the very reason that “efficacy waned” after a short period. And for those that didn’t, the long term effects (auto-immune etc etc) made them too dangerous for general usage. Which I guess is not bad news – it seems likely that waning efficacy means they are less dangerous, long term, than they would be if they didn’t wane.

The thing is, Viktor Medvedchuk is Ukrainian…….so I ask the question, what is he guilty of?

Cassie – The divide between ethnic Russians and ethnic Ukrainians within the borders of the state we know in Ukraine is the root of this whole thing. Same as ethnic Germans and ethnic Czechs in Czechoslovakia in 1938.

What do you do with the ones who are close to the war opponent? Mr Medvedchuk is a pro-Russian pollie and represents that demographic. That’s fine by me, but things are very angsty and if I were him I’d be getting out of Dodge until the dust settles. He didn’t do that, so has been caught and arrested. I do not know what crime he has committed other than escaping from house arrest.

This is an issue on both sides. The ethnic Ukrainian minority in the Donbas region are in the same sort of situation as the ethnic Russian minority in the Ukrainian government-controlled areas are.

I have said it’s baddies vs baddies many times now. Zelenskyy and Putin are both dictatorial and undemocratic, with little tolerance of people who they regard as opponents. The ethnicity problem is in common with many nations – you know yourself what the problem in Israel is, for example. In British India the result was Partition. Will that happen here? I don’t know. I do know it is a mess and both sides have dug in politically so that a peace deal is going to be very difficult to achieve any time soon.

Then to see him streak across the skies and give what-for to those dreadful, surly, and brutish Russkies!

POW! as he punches a tank which then hits the one behind, and they the one behind until there are a dozen or so pancaked to a depth of two metres.

FLING! as he hurls a Russian Baby-Killa missile (patent pending) back into the Russian heartland.

PHOLLOP! as picks up one end of a highway and snaps down suddenly, sending a wave along the road that one by one tosses troop carriers hundreds of feet into the air where they pause momentarily at the top of their arcs – just long enough to show the expressions of comical panic of the troops – before plummeting earthward.

Cut to a shot of Putin in his bunker, propped up at a gigantic conference table in a high-chair, glowering and saying “Curses! Fiddlesticks! He thwarts me once again…I will get you Z-man!”

Final shot of Zelensky, sun setting in the background, cape flapping in the wind, arms folded, gazing out off camera to some place far away, martial triumphant music in the background.

But most of all, I want to see the credits for this wonderful performance. WaPo, NYT, NATO etc.

So how do the FDA know that any hospitalised covid patients who had been treated with hydroxychloroquinine got kidney damage from the hydroxychloroquinine, not from covid, if they don’t compare incidences of kidney damage in those people with incidences of the same thing in hospitalised covid patients who hadn’t been treated with hydroxychloroquinine?

Answer – they don’t even try. They just announce that there had been reported instances of kidney damage in the ones treated with hydroxychloroquinine, then scream hysterically, then ban hydroxychloroquinine.
