Safe and Effective? What the smallpox vaccine can teach us.
Robert W Malone MD, MS

There is another important element in the national vaccine program, which is the requirement to keep the vaccine production facilities up and running. These facilities are producing a biological product; they must be kept in production or the process for re-licensure is onerous, if not impossible. In the case of seasonal flu, one of the justifications for the yearly vaccine is to keep the manufacturing plants running and ready for business in case of a truly severe strain of flu or some other, unknown pathogen become a threat. If those facilities are moth-balled, they can’t be brought back on line quickly. Bet you did not know that. One major reason for pushing annual influenza vaccines is to maintain influenza vaccine manufacturing capacity. The industry term used is “warm base manufacturing”. Of course, this results in a very nice annual “cash cow” for the vaccine industry, one which gets annually milked for a tidy guaranteed profit. The term “rent seeking behavior” applies.

So, there is more than one reason to vaccinate the entire population on a regular basis, and the government basically props up the entire vaccine industry with what are functionally major annual subsidies. Once a policy decision is made to acquire a vaccine product or establish a “standard of care” involving a vaccine, it is never re-evaluated. Any politician or government administrator that even considers rethinking whether a vaccine policy makes good sense is confronted by the specter of being blamed for any outbreak or cases of that disease that may arise – regardless of how (in)effective or risky that vaccine product may be.

Nate Hagens on Ukraine.

Pray that we avoid nuclear fallout and brace for non-nuclear fallout.

I watched the documentary “Ukraine on Fire” tonight.

What a confusing mess that part of the world is. I’m very grateful that I was lucky to be born in Canada.

Shame on the US.

YouTube has censored it but you can still find it on Vimeo:

I’m bummed out today.
It seems I’m usually on the wrong side of issues with friends and family.
Several heated discussions today about Ukraine with people I care about.
A month ago heated discussions with the same people about covid policies.
Before that heated discussions about peak oil/climate change.
It’s a big tribe and I’m not in it.
🙁

Gail Tverberg on what we should expect…

I am afraid that we are entering into a period where jobs will be much less available. The reason that jobs will be unavailable is because an increasing number of businesses will close up operations and lay off workers because they cannot obtain the resources needed to make the products they make. Supply lines will increasingly be broken.

In such a situation, banks are likely to be bankrupt as well, because debts cannot be repaid. Governments may institute withdrawal limits of say, $200 per week, to try to keep order in the system.

The government will not be able to collect as much tax revenue either because of the lack of jobs for citizens and the lack of sales by businesses. They may elect to cut off Social Security and Medicare benefits because they cannot afford the cost. They also will not be able to guarantee private pension payments any longer.

Shelves will be mostly empty, in such a circumstance.

People will not be able to afford very many of the few goods that are available, in this circumstance. But I doubt that the issue would be considered inflation. It might look like deflation. Many shares of stock will become worthless. Without fuel and fertilizer, the value of farmland will, in some sense, be worth less than it is today.

I expect in such a situation, central governments (such as the US central government) will not hold together for long. Each local area will issue its own currency. Travel will become much more local because exchange rates among currencies will be unclear. Moving to a new home will become very difficult, so home sales will fall.

CDC Admits They Lied, And Granny Died

Yeah.

Listen to this folks.

Walensky: “When the CNN feed came that it was 95% effective, the vaccine, so many of us wanted it to be helpful, so many of us wanted to say, ‘Ok this is our ticket out.’”

Ok… But then you got millions fired and excluded from society for not taking it.pic.twitter.com/Xcl7bUUrOi

“I can tell you where it was when the CNN feed came that it was 95% effective…… nobody said waning”

CNN feed that it was 95% effective?

Nobody said “waning”?

So you knew, or should have known.

In fact we now have a very high level of evidence that the manufacturers, including specifically Pfizer and Moderna, gamed the trials by at least deliberate refusal to look. We know this because the trial in young people showed that protection goes negative within just a couple of months, that is, it makes you more likely rather than less to get infected.

But the trials were designed only against symptomatic disease, they deliberately did not do surveillance testing on a regular (e.g. weekly) basis in the trial subjects to see if the shots were sterilizing and if they made infection more-likely in the first few weeks, they deliberately ignored or hid adverse events including deaths that were not reported where the public could see them and the doses were set inexplicably high which produced an antibody titer that, coincidentally, lasted the required three months to get the EUAs but were basically worthless or even enhanced infection by six months and the trial was….. coincidentally….. three months.

It was claimed this was not “gene therapy” yet the head pharmacy person from Bayer just said in public that it is, which of course we all knew if you had any sort of competence in reading anything because the jabs all were designed to be taken up into your cells and hijack their genetic machinery to make spike proteins. That’s gene therapy by definition yet if you say that on Twitter it gets your post restricted and if you say it on a Google ad-supported site or on Youtube it draws either a black ball ban on advertising or a strike on your channel — or even a ban. Yet it is absolutely true — and has always been true. The media won’t allow this to be discussed because they know damn well that the public perception is that gene therapy is a last resort sort of thing (e.g. if you have cancer) because it is dangerous and thus the public would refuse to take them.

Drug companies run trials for every single drug they produce. They are THE subject-matter experts in doing so because they have done it dozens or hundreds of times. This means they are in a perfect position to design trials to fit the test and if, in that environment, you give them a liability shield so they can’t be sued if they designed to the test and bad things happen the odds that bad things will happen goes up exponentially.

I warned people repeatedly that I saw discontinuities in the public trial data — that is, intentional omissions that, were I trying to design an honest trial to prove that a given therapy was sterilizing and thus would increase public safety, not just personal safety, I would have included. I also pointed out that surveillance for adverse events, specifically full blood work before and after injections, would have almost-certainly detected the most-severe adverse events before the EUAs were issued and that work was intentionally not done because the “test” that the FDA set forth did not require it.

I also warned people that mRNA was not a new technology but had been worked on for ten years and had always failed for other indications. That is, we knew it didn’t work very well and was dangerous, and in fact the reason the previous trials had failed was on safety margin between effective and toxic doses.

Both Trump and Biden, along with BOTH CDC directors and the people at the FDA know all of the above. So do the executives and researchers in all of the mRNA drug firms. This became even more evident when Pfizer sought to have the detailed data which they had from the start of the jab campaign remain under seal from public scrutiny for 75 years.

As I pointed out all the way back to 2007 and 2008 when I started writing The Market Ticker NOBODY EVER HIDES GOOD NEWS.

My best guess at this point remains that one in thirty people who took these is going to be severely ****ed — either dead or saddled with a lifetime of disability of some material degree. At those numbers if you don’t know someone who has gotten hammered by taking these injections yet you will, and from the people I know and those who have accounts on my discussion forum that is now bearing out in direct reports of people who took the jabs and got screwed.

When do you, Americans, decide to rise and hold these ghouls at the FDA, CDC and all of the so-called public-health and medical agencies, doctors, nurses and others ramming this crap in your arm accountable?

Or are we simpering wimps who will let these people get away with screwing an utterly huge percentage of the population including children?
