He’s got a good point.

And of course this in-over-her-head dope of a Press Sec had no answer to give him:

Covid has been deadly for African politicians that didn't go along with the lockdowns. Big Grin

https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/5/e005587

"In the 12 months between 6 February 2020 and 6 February 2021, COVID-19 claimed the lives of at least 24 national ministers and heads of state, which is well in excess of the reported in-office death rate for such politicians in recent years. Seventeen of these deaths are from the African continent (and the count kept growing after 6 February 2021), putting the COVID-19 death rate at 1.33% among national ministers and heads of states—seven times above estimates of the world's average for a demographic profile of similar sex and age average for the same period."


Covid also seems to be especially deadly for freelance Journalist and Photographers

Over 600 journalists died of COVID-19 in 10 months
Geneva-based NGO says journalists in field, particularly freelancers and photographers, are vulnerable to coronavirus

I had a cousin that died of cardiac issues at 22 years of age. He had an undiagnosed hole in his heart that he’d had since birth.

An uncle died of respiratory failure from what was believed to be sleep apnea. He was an avid cyclist.

People die unexpectedly.

I can’t help but wonder as ghoulish as this thread has turned if some wouldn’t be pointing to their deaths as some political Point spread in the desperation to be right about some vaccine or other political maneuver. This thread started with bullshit over reporting of death for political gain, and I guess it will go out that way.

By speculating and posting links to each unexplained death that haven’t a single link to vaccines or COVID? Just that they died suddenly? That’s how you demand answers?

It’s morbid and ghoulish at best.

^^^You certainly don't believe that they'd actually 'link' ANY of these 'unexplained deaths' to the COVID vaccine even if it were the likely cause, do you? I certainly don't...

Coincidentally, 'All Cause Mortality' is basically up 40% anywhere/everywhere they care to look at the numbers, and the timing of the increase directly correlates to the release of the COVID vaccine, so there's that.

Correlation is not causation, but absent other credible hypotheses one has to consider the totality of the situation.

Are there excess deaths? And if so, is there adequate information about serious adverse outcomes from the mRNA vaccines to suggest many of these unexpected (and unexplained) deaths of young and healthy adults could be vaccine related?

The answers are Yes, and Yes.

Consider this: Every single thing the authorities have said has been exactly backwards. Masks, hydroxychloriquine, Ivermectin, the vaccines are safe, the vaccines are effective, no boosters needed, one booster needed, boosters good for new variants, 2 weeks lockdown would flatten the curve, and on and on and on.

What are the chances the highly credentialed authorities would get everything exactly wrong?

And so what are the chances we are hearing the truth now about cause of death in these various individuals, or about excess deaths?

I’ve been listening to Joe Rogan’s interview with journalist, Alex Berenson, this morning. If you watch Tucker, even irregularly, you’ve probably seen and heard Berenson, a voice in the wilderness during the COVID Pandemic. He is the only person to have successfully sued Twitter and is now posting again—completely vindicated. I’ve listened for an hour of the 3-hour podcast and there are many significant revelations, like the Biden Administration leveraging Twitter to ban Berenson, even though Twitter’s board didn’t feel like anything he posted warranted a ban.

Yep. People die unexpectedly.
At a predictable rate. When the rate increases, shouldn't people ask why?

If the vaccines worked, wouldn't you expect all-cause mortality to drop rather than increase?

Here's more...
Young doctors in Canada are dying at a rate 23X normal after the second booster

The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) data for 2020 shows doctors in Canada aged 50 and under die at a rate of about 6 per year.

After the latest booster, 6 Canadian doctors, 50 and under, died within a 15 day period.

Something is very wrong here, but nobody wants to talk about it or look into it. They’d rather look the other way.

Consider that the predominant C19 victims in 2020 were the elderly and very ill. Had C19 not happened, those people would have lived a bit longer and would now be in the window of expected death. IOW, many of those people would be expected to be dying now, and are therefore part of the baseline death rate.

But since they died 2 years ago (prior to the vaccines), the baseline expected number of present day deaths should be reduced by however many died "early" from C19.

Which means excess deaths are actually higher than it appears because the baseline has not been corrected.

This author makes some good points.

"For example, much of what has happened throughout COVID-19 parallels the early days of the AIDS epidemic. Fauci fought to kept a variety of effective treatments for AIDS off the market so that he could push through a deadly and ineffective (but highly lucrative) drug to treat HIV, AZT (which oddly enough has much in common with Fauci’s recent pet project Remdesvir and the other COVID-19 medications). Once AZT entered the market, rather than end the epidemic, it significantly worsened the trajectory of AIDS (this book and this book provide the untold history of what happened, a that history allowed me, in late 2019, to predict the identical course that COVID-19 followed)."

Eight boosted mice: Critics pan FDA for preelection Omicron jab approval based on irrelevant data

https://justthenews.com/govern..._campaign=newsletter

Mainstream media have joined prominent doctors in questioning the FDA for its reliance on animal studies to approve so-called bivalent COVID-19 boosters for ages 12 and up, even as the shots are already being forced on low-risk, "fully vaccinated" populations such as college students.

Commissioner Robert Califf and Peter Marks, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said the FDA was using the same process for boosters combining ancestral and currently dominant Omicron BA.4/5 components that it follows for annual flu shots.

"This is the number one question people are asking," Califf said in a press conference Wednesday. The agency has "extensive experience in the past with strain changes made without clinical data based on the totality of available evidence," Marks said, citing flu vaccines.

The FDA didn't give Just the News access to the interactive Zoom feed to ask questions, just the one-way YouTube stream, and didn't answer requests for the evidence behind their claims.



Wake Forest University imposed the bivalent boosters nearly a month before their approval "to strengthen our community's collective immunity," with no exemption for even recently boosted community members. It hasn't yet decided whether to renew its flu vaccine mandate.

The Mercury News emphasized that bivalent booster "studies about efficacy, so far, have only been completed in mice." Eight mice in Pfizer's study "generated a 2.6-fold increase in neutralizing antibody levels" against BA.4/5 compared to its current booster, while "lab work" showed Moderna's caused an 8-fold increase.

Those figures were left out of the FDA's press release on its emergency use authorization of the two boosters, as was any mention that the "nonclinical data" came from animals.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said the feds didn't have time to wait on human data. Otherwise, "we will be using what I would consider to be a potentially outdated vaccine" for an expected COVID surge, she told Conversations on Health Care.

This shows midterm elections are behind the rush to approve boosters, University of California San Francisco epidemiologist Vinay Prasad tweeted. Unless agencies are "firewalled" from politics, the feds will "approve anything to lower cases right before the vote" regardless of safety concerns.

Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis Chair Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), who successfully pressured the FDA to lower its standards for COVID vaccines for children under 5 this spring, issued a statement Wednesday celebrating the approval of bivalent boosters.

A week earlier, the subcommittee denounced the Trump administration for pressuring regulators to approve COVID vaccines ahead of the 2020 election. Spokesperson Graeme Crews didn't respond when asked how booster approval without human data on the eve of midterms was different.

Califf and Marks invoked their sister agency's new report on the second consecutive year of reduced life expectancy to justify bivalent booster approval.

"COVID was the main factor" in life expectancy falling from 77 years in 2020 to 76.1 years in 2021, according to Robert Anderson, chief of mortality statistics at CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, HealthDay reported. Other factors, including drug overdose and suicide, were "probably related to the pandemic, but not directly to the virus."

It's not clear bivalent boosters would reverse or mitigate that trend, however. The steepest drop in life expectancy was in the category "American Indian and Alaska Native," which fell 1.9 years to 65.2 in 2021.

AIAN has a higher booster rate than the black and Hispanic/Latino categories, according to the latest CDC data from Aug. 24. Black life expectancy declined 0.7 years to 70.8, and Hispanic/Latino 0.2 years to 77.6. Whites, whose booster rate is second only to the Asian category, lost a full year, to 76.4.

The FDA officials repeatedly invoked the prospect of rising hospitalizations and deaths without bivalent approval in the press conference. "We're not talking about trivial things," Califf said. Marks said he was hearing from doctors that pediatric hospitals are admitting more children while adult hospitalizations fall.

But the FDA isn't explicitly claiming the new boosters actually reduce severe outcomes. It cited clinical studies of each vaccine maker's Omicron BA.1 bivalent, which found "better ... immune response" from the bivalent than the single-strain booster. (Moderna's version was approved by the U.K. last month.)

While the agency claims BA.1 evidence is enough to approve BA.4/5 boosters "because these vaccines are manufactured using the same process," Prasad said this was like equating pizza and cake because they are made "in the same oven."

The agency's reliance on antibody response isn't echoed by Pfizer, whose vaccine R&D chief told the agency's outside advisers last year that it hadn't found an "antibody threshold" for breakthrough infections. Kathrin Jansen said there's "probably a much more complex story and not easily just addressed with neutralizing antibodies."



The agency shut out the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee this time, with Califf explaining that VRBPAC approved bivalent boosters in theory in June. The Mercury News reported that VRBPAC member Paul Offit of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia disapproved of mouse-only data. He didn't answer Just the News queries.

"Americans deserve to see the data," Johns Hopkins medical professor and National Academy of Science member Marty Makary tweeted, asking why the White House and COVID adviser Ashish Jha are "pushing [bivalent boosters] so hard & universally w/o public data?"

"How did we go from 40k person [randomized controlled trials] to 8 mice," which is too small to determine whether the new boosters reduce or worsen the heart inflammation side effect from current vaccines, Prasad tweeted.

Califf and Marks said the risk of myocarditis prompted them to choose a two-month window between doses. Young people, who are at highest risk of the side effect, shouldn't wait longer because they need to "refresh the immune system with what's actually circulating," and the booster can "probably reduce by more than half their risk of long COVID," Marks said.

Okay, that just totally pissed me off, again. Nothing really new but man does it piss it me off.

The left is completely bereft of integrity. We, as people, have obviously learned nothing from the nazi experience and being 'commanded' to do something. The left calls us nazis and yet here we are.


I just don't understand. The populace of the left, not those in charge, talk about things like equity, goodness for people, saving the children, kumbaya, idealist socialist constructs. And yet they support the fascist corrupt elite who would just gather power and money and hoard it for the select few.

I don't understand. I'm mean, if you're going to be stupid, at least do it so that it makes sense.
