Staying ahead of symptoms as best I can with revolving cocktail of Sudafed, Tylenol, and Advil. Supplementing with EmerginC and ColdEze. Girl friend is a freaking maniac rockstar. She gave up her holiday weekend with friends and instead spent the better part of Sat/Sun cooking for me. Homemake chicken noodle soup, potato soup, tupperware bowls full of fresh cut fruit, on and on. Plus she introduced me to cucumber infused water…good stuff!

I’d say I almost felt normal if not for the sore throat. Cannot get ahead of the pain. I’ve been gargling a bit with salt water and then following up with a tablespoon of honey, but damn…

I have 4 Oxy left from my kidney-stone last year…I keep staring at the fucking bottle…seems a bit overkill for a sore throat though.

I've been following the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance prevention protocols for the past year and a half (because they make sense given my health) and have been blessed not to get the bug (as far as I know). They recommend 5000iu of vitamin D daily as well as time outdoors in the sun for a dose of natural D. It's worth a read of their website if you haven't been there.

I got it a couple of weeks ago. Had a sore throat and decided to take a home test. On day 2 I started with Ivermectin. 2 days on, skip day 3, back on for day 4. Sore throat was gone the next morning after first treatment. Slept most of that day and did not eat hardly anything. Was pretty much completely fine after that except for some congestion.

As is expected, the bug is evolving to become less severe over time. And despite all the hype about “new variants getting around immunity/‘vaccination’”, I suspect that natural immunity is working just fine.

I had the crud back in November; my post-retirement job puts me in close contact with hundreds of people a week (expanded exponentially if you factor close contact with other employees doing the same). Almost NOBODY is masking. Somehow I have either avoided infection that I know of or been exposed with no effects.

Yes I have read that website and it does have very good information. Also there have been several good studies from around the world that found during early stages of the so called pandemic people that were hospitalized and put on the ventilators were all low in vitamin D. I have been taking 5000iu daily vitamin D for my psoriasis for the last 5 years or more. God Bless !!! Smile

Austrian Health Minister and Medical Profession Dispute Responsibility for Massive Covid “Vaccine” Deaths and Health Damage

Paul Craig Roberts

In Austria the massive harm done to human life and health done by the Covid “vaccines” has resulted in the Austrian Minister of Health shifting responsibility to doctors who betrayed their medical responsibility to inform patients of the risks of the vaccine.

Of course, had doctors done so, they would have been punished for “spreading misinformation.” It was the Austrian government that tried to mandate coercive vaccination of every Austrian.

In truth, the “Covid pandemic” was an exercise in massive disinformation by “health authorities,” aka marketing agents for Big Pharma, incompetent, mindless politicians, and a whore media that lied through its teeth and continues to do so.

Now that the Austrian Health Minister has shifted responsibility to medical doctors, how much longer can the utterly corrupt US “public health system” deny that there are massive “vaccine” injuries?

Covid shot every nine months for Canadians as “two doses no longer enough”

https://euroweeklynews.com/202...canadians-two-doses/

CANADIAN citizens will now require a Covid booster every nine months, according to the country’s health minister, who reiterated new Covid guidance in Canada that states “two doses don’t work anymore”.

Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos told reporters that “we will never be fully vaccinated against COVID-19″ as he announced plans for Canadians to get jabbed every nine months.

“We must continue to fight against COVID,” Duclos said late on Monday, July 4.

“We want to be prepared for next fall and that requires an up-to-date vaccination which is based on the nine months.”

He added: “Like the virus, our immunity also evolves. Two doses are no longer enough.”

Referring to recent guideline changes in which the definition was changed in Canada of what constitutes being fully vaccinated, Duclos said that “‘up to date’ means you have received your last dose in the past nine months.”

“If you’ve already received a first booster, that’s great,” but suggests that Canadians check if they are eligible for a “second or third booster” to remain on top of vaccinations,” he said.

On Tuesday, June 14, Canada’s federal cabinet ministers announced changes to the country’s Covid protocol, reflecting the advice from health experts, which now means that to be considered “fully vaccinated” a person must have had three doses of the Covid vaccine because “two doses are not enough”.

Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos told reporters in Ottawa at the time: “Although two doses still protects significantly well against severe disease and death, two doses are not enough now to protect against infection and transmission.

“That is why we are transitioning now to an ‘up-to-date’ vaccination definition of what it means to be adequately protected against COVID-19.”

They are lying. The shots do NOT "protect significantly well against severe disease and death"...

Similar to New Zealand: New Zealand is among the most highly vaccinated nations in the world.

New Zealand: the vaccinated have higher mortality than the unvaccinated so the solution is more vaccines!!!

The narrative is unraveling in New Zealand as this paper by John Gibson points out that the vaccinated are more likely to die than the unvaccinated.

But no finger pointing in New Zealand!

In New Zealand, the traditional media will not cover any research that is counter-narrative because they are so beholden to government funding. For example, in May the NZ government spent an average of $67 (USD$45) PER DOSE on advertising, and all told it has been about $50 million spent on government advertising on the vaccines. On top of that there is a "public interest journalism fund" that gives about another $100 million of government money to the media. So the public only hears one side of the narrative.

So what do the “experts” in New Zealand like Otago University epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker do?

Baker called for new mRNA vaccines to be rolled out urgently!!!!

No matter how bad the data is, these guys are just never going to point the finger at the vaccines that are making things worse.

They have to keep pushing the narrative because I have read, and I forget where, only 17% or less of the population is willing to get their children 6mo to 5 years vaccinated, Someone correct me if I am wrong but it might be more.
Sound like the vaccine manufactures are going to possibly be disposing of a lot of expired vaccines again.

Yes, but, the most recent Omicron variants, BA4 and BA5, do have higher hospitalization and mortality than the earlier Omicron variants. The new variants are attacking into the lungs somewhat. The original Wuhan and Delta strains were more deadly and hit the lungs hard. Omicron BA1 and BA2 only hit the upper respiratory system and were like colds with runny nose and sore throat mostly.

Whether a new Covid variant is more or less deadly is random. In other diseases, yes, they are expected to become less deadly but more infectious because of natural selection pressures whether the person is vaccinated or not against that pathogen. But with Covid there is a paradoxical situation with the non-neutralizing nature of the antibodies.

(Geert vanden Bossche has published a very technical paper, way above my comprehension, but he discusses the phenomenon in several interviews available on you-tube and other platforms)

In short, normally natural selection favors a variant which is highly infectious but does not kill the host. A person who has never had that disease nor a vaccine will easily catch it, and the virus replicates, gets passed on to other people, then the person's immune system kills the virus and develops long term immunity. The faster the virus can spread the better for it, and the fewer people it kills the more it can replicate and spread.

But the Covid vaccines do two things very differently. First, they do not kill the virus very well, so the infected person is a virus factory. This increases the probability of new variants being created. Secondly, the non-neutralizing antibodies suppress the harmful biochemical activity that was killing people. We heard about cytokine storms and the inflammation in earlier variants which was the mechanism killing people. Those mechanisms are suppressed somehow by the non-neutralizing antibodies (Geert has this in detail in his research paper).

Thus the viruses inside vaccinated people are plentiful, and they have no need to become less deadly because the deadliness is suppressed while in that person's body. A more deadly variant won't easily kill the host who is vaccinated, but it could be very dangerous to the unvaccinated who have never been infected before.

Mass vaccination during the pandemic is causing all these variants, and it is easily possible a new variant will be very deadly to those with no prior infection.

Yet that's not really how these bugs evolve. I know of no previous bugs where subsequent versions of the initial strain became more deadly. The trend has been that subsequent iterations become more infectious in an attempt to survive, while becoming less severe overall. Regardless, natural immunity and good health has gotten me to this point without suffering any ill effects of the WuFlu, so I think I'll trust and rely on my system as I move forward.

Something maybe someone should ask the nitwit masquerading as Canada's health officer. Have the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines been modded to accommodate even the current strains of Covid? I think the answer to that is 'No', so they are near worthless in combating Covid while still holding as yet potential unestablished long term impacts.

“ Mass vaccination during the pandemic is causing all these variants, and it is easily possible a new variant will be very deadly to those with no prior infection.”

I don’t believe this for a second. I’d bet my natural immunity against the “vaccine” any day of the week. If Covid is as prevalent as they are saying, my job would have exposed me many times over during the last 4 months- by the law of averages. Suggesting that those with no “vaccination” are more susceptible and at a higher risk to later strains makes no sense.

No, that's the point of the risk of the mass vaccination during a pandemic with these non-neutralizing C19 'vaccines'. This moment now, yes healthy non-vaccinated are at very low risk from C19. But ...

Normally for other viruses the vaccine kills the virus quickly in the infected person, so there is little opportunity for a nasty mutation to happen. Same for those previously infected by that virus. Plus if a really lethal variant appears it is less likely to persist if it kills the host.

But there are 2 huge differences with the C19 vaccines. 1) they don't kill the virus very well, so the infected person has vast numbers of virus replicating in them so there are very many chances for a nasty mutation. 2) the non-neutralizing antibodies paradoxically reduce the cellular level reaction to the virus, so the infected person gets less ill.

The lethality is blunted in a vaccinated person, meaning a nasty mutation is not a detriment to proliferation in vaccinated people like it is with other viruses.

Note that this does not apply to non-vaccinated with C19. Their immune systems kill the virus so there are fewer to mutate, and if a lethal mutation appears it won't spread much because it kills the host. In the non-vaccinated the situation is like other viruses: new variants trend less harmful but more transmissable.

But if a lethal covid variant happens in a vaccinated person it will multiply, and other vaccinated people will spread it. The unvaccinated can be killed by it. Mass vaccination with non-neutralizing jabs risks new variants being more lethal.

Go watch some recent interviews with Geert vanden Bossche.

Absolutely right now unvaccinated healthy people have very little risk from C19. I'm not jabbed and will not be. The risks of adverse outcomes from the jabs is higher than the risk of the virus.

I am open to the possibility a small subset of the population with risky comorbidities may be better off jabbed. e.g. 90 yr olds with diabetes. The risks of the jab may be less than the risk of the virus.

The twist is that these particular vaccines uniquely create the conditions whereby many new variants happen, and they can become more deadly. This is the opposite of other viruses like the flu.

And, the unvaccinated with no previous covid infection would be more threatened if a more lethal variant happens. Unvaccinated but recovered from previous infection would probably be fine.

The upshot is that the vaccines and vaccinated are the threat of future covid disaster.

WSJ: Pfizer Trial Found Vaxxed Toddlers 'Were More Likely to Get Severely Ill With Covid'

https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=63187

The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that toddlers vaccinated during Pfizer's trial were "more likely to get severely ill with Covid than those who received a placebo" and "most kids who developed multiple infections during the trial were vaccinated."

From WSJ, "Why the Rush for Toddler Vaccines?":
"This is a very historic milestone, a monumental step forward," President Biden declared last week after the Food and Drug Administration authorized Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for toddlers. "The United States is now the first country in the world to offer safe and effective Covid-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months old."

In fact, we don't know if the vaccines are safe and effective. The rushed FDA action was based on extremely weak evidence. [...]

More troubling, vaccinated toddlers in Pfizer's trial were more likely to get severely ill with Covid than those who received a placebo. Pfizer claimed most severe cases weren't "clinically significant," whatever that means, but this was all the more reason that the FDA should have required a longer follow-up before authorizing the vaccine.

Also worrisome: Most kids who developed multiple infections during the trial were vaccinated. This warranted more investigation, since experimental vaccines for other diseases sometimes increase susceptibility to infection.

Scientists are also discovering that triple-vaccinated adults who were previously infected with the Wuhan variant have a weaker immune response to Omicron, leaving them more susceptible to reinfection. This phenomenon, called "immunological imprinting," could explain why children who received three Pfizer shots were more likely to get reinfected.

The FDA brushed aside the risk that inoculating infants against a variant no longer circulating could blunt their immune responses to Omicron and its offshoots. There's a reason vaccine trials usually take a decade. Some steps can be accelerated, but an extended follow-up is often necessary to ensure potential side effects aren’t overlooked.

The FDA standard for approving vaccines in otherwise healthy people, especially children, is supposed to be higher than for drugs that treat the sick. But the FDA conspicuously lowered its standards to approve Covid vaccines for toddlers. Why?
An NIH study of adults who took part in Moderna's trial (which ran through March 2021) found those with shots had fewer N antibodies after COVID infection when compared with the unvaccinated, suggesting they're more likely to get reinfected with the virus.

This was known shortly after the covid vaccine rollout began but our public health authorities didn't bother to tell the public. Instead, they did everything in their power to mandate everyone take these experimental shots in order to work or go to school and ordered social media companies to censor all dissenters.

Any more lethal than the original strain?? Luckily there are VERY easy and inexpensive remedies for my unvaccinated hind parts should I contract Covid…Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquin.

It’s ALL still about control…

WSJ: Pfizer Trial Found Vaxxed Toddlers 'Were More Likely to Get Severely Ill With Covid'

Some are trying to keep the UK from following suit:

Letter to the U.K. Gov from 76 Doctors
Comprehensive reasons why the U.S. FDA decision authorizing COVID vaccinations in infants and young children must not happen in the UK.

Robert W Malone MD, MS

An open letter to the MHRA:

Below is a letter signed by 76 doctors in the UK, to the Medical and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and other U.K. Government officials. This letter lays out comprehensive reasons why the recent U.S. FDA decision authorizing COVID vaccinations in infants and young children must not happen in the UK. The letter is well-sourced and accurate. Let us hope that main-stream media here in the USA and in the UK report on this letter in an unbiased fashion.

(the letter continues)

We are writing to you urgently concerning the announcement that the FDA has granted an Emergency Use Authorization for both Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in preschool children.

We would urge you to consider very carefully the move to vaccinate ever younger children against SARS-CoV-2, despite the gradual but significant reducing virulence of successive variants, the increasing evidence of rapidly waning vaccine efficacy, the increasing concerns over long-term vaccine harms, and the knowledge that the vast majority of this young age group have already been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 repeatedly and have demonstrably effective immunity. Thus, the balance of benefit and risk which supported the rollout of mRNA vaccines to the elderly and vulnerable in 2021 is totally inappropriate for small children in 2022.

We also strongly challenge the addition of COVID-19 vaccination into the routine child immunization program despite no demonstrated clinical need, known and unknown risks (see below) and the fact that these vaccines still have only conditional marketing authorization.

It is noteworthy that the Pfizer documentation presented to the FDA has huge gaps in the evidence provided:

The protocol was changed mid-trial. The original two-dose schedule exhibited poor immunogenicity with efficacy far below the required standard. A third dose was added by which time many of the original placebo recipients had been vaccinated.

There was no statistically significant difference between the placebo and vaccinated groups in either the 6–23-month age group or the 2-4-year-olds, even after the third dose. Astonishingly, the results were based on just three participants in the younger age group (one vaccinated and two placebo) and just seven participants in the older 2–4-year-olds (two vaccinated and five placebo). Indeed, for the younger age group the confidence intervals ranged from minus-367% to plus-99%. The manufacturer stated that the numbers were too low to draw any confident conclusions. Moreover, these limited numbers come only from children infected more than seven days after the third dose.

Over the whole time period from the first dose onwards (see page 39 Tables 19 and 20), there were a total of 225 infected children in the vaccinated arm and 150 in the placebo arm, giving a calculated vaccine efficacy of only 25% (14% for the 6-23 months, and 33% for 2-4s).

The additional immunogenicity studies against Omicron, requested by the FDA, only involved a total of 66 children tested one month after the third dose (see page 35).

It is incomprehensible that the FDA considered that this represents sufficient evidence on which to base a decision to vaccinate healthy children. When it comes to safety, the data are even thinner: only 1,057 children, some already unblinded, were followed for just two months. It is noteworthy that Sweden and Norway are not recommending the vaccine for 5-11s and Holland is not recommending it for children who have already had COVID-19. The director of the Danish Health and Medicines Authority stated recently that with what is now known, the decision to vaccinate children was a mistake.

We summarize below the overwhelming arguments against this vaccination.

A. Extremely low risk from COVID-19 to young children

In the whole of 2020 and 2021, not a single child aged 1-9 died where COVID-19 was the sole diagnosis on the death certificate, according to ONS data.

A detailed study in England from March 1st 2020 to March 1st 2021 found only six children under 18 years died with no co-morbidities. There were no deaths aged 1-4 years.

Children clear the virus more easily than adults.

Children mount effective, robust, and sustained immune responses.

Since the arrival of the Omicron variant, infections have been generally much milder. That is also true for unvaccinated under-5s.

By June 2022 it is now estimated that 89% of 1-4-year-olds had already had SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Recent data from Israel show excellent long-lasting immunity following infection in children, especially in 5-11s.

B. Poor vaccine efficacy

In adults, it has become apparent that vaccine efficacy wanes steadily over time, necessitating boosters at regular intervals. Specifically, vaccine efficacy has waned more rapidly against the latest Omicron variants.

In children, vaccine efficacy has waned more rapidly in 5-11s than in 12-17s, possibly related to the lower dose used in the pediatric formulation. One study from New York showed efficacy against Omicron falling to only 12% by 4-5 weeks and to negative values by 5-6 weeks post second dose.

In the Pfizer 0-4s trial, the efficacy after two doses fell to negative values, necessitating a change to the trial protocol. After a third dose there was a suggestion of efficacy from 7-30 days but there is no data beyond 30 days to see how quickly this will wane.

C. Potential harms of COVID-19 vaccines for children

There has been great concern about myocarditis in adolescents and young adults, especially in males after the second dose, estimated at one per 2,600 in active post-marketing surveillance in Hong Kong. The emerging evidence of persistent cardiac abnormalities in adolescents with post-mRNA vaccine myopericarditis, as demonstrated by cardiac MRI at 3-8 months follow up, suggests this is far from ‘mild and short-lived’. The potential for longer term effects requires further study and calls for the strictest application of the precautionary principle in respect of the youngest and most vulnerable children.

Although post-vaccination myocarditis appears to be less common in 5-11-year-olds than older children, it is, nonetheless, increased over baseline.

In the Pfizer study, 50% of vaccinated children had systemic adverse events, including irritability and fever. Diagnosis of myocarditis is much more difficult in younger children. No troponin levels or ECG studies were documented. Even a vaccinated child in the trial, hospitalized with fever, calf pain and a raised CPK, had no report of D-dimers, anti-platelet antibodies or troponin levels.

In Pfizer’s 5-11s post-authorization conditions, it is required to conduct studies looking for myocarditis and is not due to report results until 2027.

Of equal concern are, as yet unknown, negative effects on the immune system. In the 0-4s trial, only seven children were described as having “severe” COVID-19 – six vaccinated and one given placebo. Similarly, for the 12 children with recurrent episodes of infection, 10 were vaccinated against only two who received placebo. These are all tiny figures and much too small to rule out any adverse impact such as antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) and other impacts on the immune system.

Also unanswered is the question of Original Antigenic Sin. It is of note that in a large Israeli study, those infected after vaccination had poorer cover than those vaccinated after infection. In the Moderna trial, N-antibodies were seen in only 40% of those infected after vaccination, compared with 93% of those infected after placebo.

There is evidence of vaccine-induced disruption of both innate and adaptive immune responses. The possibility of developing an impaired immune function would be disastrous for children, who have the most competent innate immunity, which by now has been effectively trained by the circulating virus.

Totally unknown is whether there will be any adverse effect on T-cell function leading to an increase in cancers.

Also, in terms of reproductive function, limited animal bio-distribution studies showed lipid nanoparticles concentrate in ovaries and testes. Adult sperm donors have showed a reduction in sperm counts particularly of motile sperm, falling by three months post-vaccination and remaining depressed at four to five months.

Even for adults, concerns are rising that serious adverse events are in excess of hospitalizations from COVID-19.

D. Informed consent

For 5-11s, the JCVI, in recommending a “non-urgent offer” of vaccination, specifically noted the importance of fully informed consent with no coercion.

With the low uptake in this age group, the presence of ‘therapy dogs’, advertisements including superhero images and information about child vaccination protecting friends and family all clearly run contrary to the concept of consent, fully informed and freely given.

The complete omission of information explaining to the public the different and novel technology used in COVID-19 vaccines compared to standard vaccines, and the failure to inform of the lack of any long-term safety data, borders on misinformation.

E. Effect on public confidence

Vaccines against much more serious diseases, such as polio and measles, need to be prioritized. Pushing an unnecessary and novel, gene-based vaccine on to young children risks seriously undermining parental confidence in the whole immunization program.

The poor quality of the data presented by Pfizer risks bringing the pharmaceutical industry into disrepute and the regulators if this product is authorized.

In summary, young healthy children are at minimal risk from COVID-19, especially since the arrival of the Omicron variant. Most have been repeatedly exposed to SARS-CoV-2 virus, yet have remained well, or have had short, mild illness. As detailed above, the vaccines are of brief efficacy, have known short- to medium-term risks and unknown long-term safety. Data for clinically useful efficacy in small children are scant or absent. In older children, for whom the vaccines are already licensed, they have been promoted via ethically dubious schemes to the potential detriment of other, and vital, parts of the childhood vaccination program.

For a tiny minority of children for whom the potential for benefit clearly and unequivocally outweighed the potential for harm, vaccination could have been facilitated by restrictive licenses. Whether following the precautionary principle or the instruction to First Do No Harm, such vaccines have no place in a routine childhood immunization program.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
