They are just making up narratives now, and the media are not calling them out on it….

The Director of the CDC made an important admission during an interview today on CNN.   CDC Director Rochelle Walensky stated the vaccine does not prevent COVID-19 infection, nor does it stop the vaccinated person from transmitting the infection or the delta variant.  According to Director Walensky, the only benefit from the vaccine now is presumably that it reduces the severity of symptoms.

If a vaccinated and non-vaccinated person have the same capacity to carry, shed and transmit the virus – with or without symptoms – then what difference does a vaccination passport or vaccination ID make?

According to the CDC TODAY, both the vaxxed and non-vaxxed person walking into a restaurant, store, group, venue or workplace present the exact same risk to other people there, so how does the presentation of proof of vaccine make any difference?  WATCH:

Additionally, her entire statement makes no sense.  There is no evidence that vaccinated asymptomatic carriers are asymptomatic because of the vaccine.  There are likely just as many asymptomatic non-vaccinated carriers.  The data shows an equally distributed infection rate regardless of vaccination rate, which is simultaneously admitted by Direcor Walensky, which, as an outcome, is an admission that undercuts the entire argument for compulsory vaccines.

The reverse is also evident in the data.  There are just as many vaxxed carriers who are symptomatic (ie. sick), as there are un-vaxxed carriers who are symptomatic (ie. sick). The percentage of vaxxed and non-vaxxed people hospitalized it identical to the vaxxed/non-vaxxed population around the hospital.

In regional populations with extremely high vaccination rates, the COVID infection rate continues unabated.  The percentage of vaccinated people hospitalized is identical to the percentage of people vaccinated in the community.

In Gibraltar, 99% of the population vaccinated; COVID infection rate climbs.  In Iceland over 75% of population vaccinated; infection rate climbs.  Singapore and Israel show the same thing [Data Sets Here].  So what value is the vaccination passport?

This is not just scientific madness, it appears to be very intentional and purposeful.

The Moderna and Pfizer vaccine tests were conducted, as customary, with a control group; a group within the trial who were given a placebo and not the test vaccine.  However, during the trial -and after the untested vaccines were given emergency use authorization- the vaccine companies conducting the trial decided to break protocol and notify the control group they were not vaccinated.  Almost all the control group were then given the vaccine.

Purposefully dissolving the placebo group violates the scientific purpose to test whether the vaccine has any efficacy; any actual benefit and/or safety issues.  Without a control group there is nothing to compare the vaccinated group against.  According to NPR, the doctors lost the control group in the Johnson County Clinicial Trial (Lexena, Kansas) on purpose:

(Via NPR) […] “Dr. Carlos Fierro, who runs the study there, says every participant was called back after the Food and Drug Administration authorized the vaccine.

“During that visit we discussed the options, which included staying in the study without the vaccine,” he says, “and amazingly there were people — a couple of people — who chose that.”

He suspects those individuals got spooked by rumors about the vaccine. But everybody else who had the placebo shot went ahead and got the actual vaccine. So now Fierro has essentially no comparison group left for the ongoing study.  “It’s a loss from a scientific standpoint, but given the circumstances I think it’s the right thing to do,” he says.

People signing up for these studies were not promised special treatment, but once the FDA authorized the vaccines, their developers decided to offer the shots. (read more)

Just so we are clear, the final FDA authorization and approval for the vaccines are based on the outcome of these trials.  As noted in the example above, the control group was intentionally lost under the auspices of  “the right thing to do”, so there is no way for the efficacy, effectiveness or safety of the vaccine itself to be measured.

There’s no one left within the control group, of a statistically valid value, to give an adequate comparison of outcomes for vaxxed -vs- non-vaxxed.

Whiskey – Tango – Foxtrot !!!  This is nuts.

That NPR article is one to bookmark when people start claiming the vaccination is effective.

How can the vaccine not be considered effective when there is no group of non-vaccinated people to compare the results to?

Good grief, the entire healthcare system is operating on a massive hive mindset where science, and the scientific method, is thrown out the window in favor of ideological outcomes and self-fulfilling prophecies.   The fact that the researchers and doctors, apparently under the payroll of the pharmaceutical companies that have a vested financial interest in the vaccine outcome, lost the control group on purpose is alarming.

Of course, Big Pharma will promote the vaccine as beneficial, and the controlled media will promote that message with a complete disconnect from the clinical trial details, and the FDA will grant approval on results that were intentionally constructed to produce only one outcome.

Madness…. All of it.

It can well be argued that New York City’s requirement for a vaccine passport is the canary in the coal mine; the test scenario to see how much real opposition exists to government mandated vaccination policies.  Citizens across the nation nation are starting to realize how severe this issue has become.

There is no other hill to stand upon if medical freedom is taken away.

What is ‘freedom‘ if government can force you to inject a substance in your body?  What is ‘liberty‘ if the government can force you into an unwanted medical procedure in order to live in society.   The issue here is not simply a forced injection.

There is no way for us to comply ourselves out of tyranny.  If we accept the government can forcibly mandate you to undergo a medical procedure, under any circumstance, as a condition to live and function in society, then we have conceded the very cornerstone of liberty.  The New York City vaccination passport must be stopped.

The first organized protest is scheduled for Monday, August 9th at Noon EST.

The Location is: New York City Hall, 52 Chambers St, New York, NY 10007

The protest is being organized by Tina Forte a candidate for NY CD-14. {Twitter Acct. Here}

Now is the time for cold anger to turn hot.  Now is the time to fight:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ~ Samuel Adams

There are a lot of doctors who read these posts, and there are doctors I know and can vouch for as being real. This is an email from one such person I can personally vouch for. In every field, we have people who are actually good at what they do, and others who simply repeat what they read. In economics, I can vouch that we have the same problem. There are those who are only academics who have NEVER even traded no less tried to expand their understanding.

I have said before that I was speaking at I believe the Market Technicians conference in Chicago or perhaps Computrac. To my shock, Milton Friedman came to listen to me. While Milton was an academic, he made an effort like Adam Smith to explore the real world beyond the theoretical pontificating. So there are some on the research side who realize they must look at how things are truly applied.

This note from a reader I know is one of the good guys, expresses the same observation in medicine I have witnessed in politics and economics. Nobody prior to 1902 had a degree in economics, for at best it was a side discussion in ethics. Not even John Maynard Keynes had a degree in economics. Keep that in mind.

Marty,

As you know, I am a doctor, and have been practicing medicine, and treating patients for 21 years.  I have seen many new medications being developed and released to the public over my career.  I also know many other doctors.  One thing I can say is that probably 85-95% of doctors are honest people who work, and want to improve peoples’ lives.  However, we all know that we’re not always 100% successful.

However, it’s also important to understand that there are doctors and then there are “doctors”.  Some doctors do not practice medicine, and just do research, or are administrators, or political appointees.  Most doctors that actually practice medicine work with their patients to accomplish positive outcomes.  Doctors who are administrators or appointees generally do not care to deal with patients, and that is why they are in administration.  I do not have any interaction with these latter type of doctors, but I would say that their actual knowledge about treating people is rather limited.  They are generally more interested in fundraisers, etc.  I think it would be safe to say that it is more important to listen to a doctor that actually has experience, and treats patients.  I think it would also be safe to say that you could probably ignore at least half the things that an administrator or appointee says.

One of the many things I will occasionally comment about with my patients is that there are two parts of the body that we, as doctors in the field of medicine don’t really have a good grasp on:  1. the immune system, and 2. the brain.

Anytime we are dealing with the immune system, there will always be a degree of uncertainty greater than we are used to dealing with.  Vaccines deal with the immune system.  While our treatments for most of the body, may be 99% effective (which are the results that most modern doctors are used to), our treatments when dealing with the immune system or the brain may only be 50-70% effective.

I can also say that the doctors that are currently promoting the vaccine as “safe and effective” actually think that it is safe and effective, as many doctors don’t think too critically about anything anymore, but just accept whatever they’re told or whatever they read.  Many of these doctors are simply too busy treating their patients to stop and think, and then when they get home, they are busy with their families.

The COVID vaccine may very well have some side effects that we are not currently aware of.  The problem is that we need time and numbers to see any correlations.  I would generally say that by 3 years from now, there should be enough data to assess any side effect associated with the COVID vaccines (assuming it is not censored), as that is generally the time frame that we have needed in the past to correlate a rare side effect from a medication.

Insofar as the virus itself is concerned, I would agree that this is a real virus.  We do not culture this virus, because if we grow it in a lab, then lab personnel could be infected.  Consequently, we rely on lab tests to establish a diagnosis.  No lab test in medicine has ever been 100% accurate.  The main terminology we use for discussing the accuracy of a lab test is “sensitivity” and “specificity”, among other terms to discuss how reliable a test may or may not be.  There will always be false positive results and false negative results, no matter the test, and that is where having the medical acumen becomes important.

While wearing medical masks may very well help insofar as preventing people from coughing all over each other, we all know that masks will not be 100% effective either.

Yes, I would suggest not getting distracted by all these irrelevant details in the field of medicine, as no one knows all the details yet, and we may possibly never know the details.  This is not the plague (with a 50% mortality rate), nor is it smallpox (with a 10% mortality rate).  It is a respiratory virus.

Thanks for covering the world’s events, and informing us about lesser known events in history!
