Unwise are they who wallow in red herring sauce

Pandemic Aftermath Update Wk 27 2023

As one can see, the US has indeed returned to baseline in terms of All Cause Mortality, as proclaimed widely in the MSM.

But that is NOT the story, and unwise are they who wallow in its red herring sauce.

In terms of Excess Non-Natural Cause Mortality, we still reside at 15.7%.

The fact that this mortality now features a natural seasonality implies that natural deaths are concealed in this death category.

They’ve ceded the lockdown argument in an effort to protect the vaccine.

Northwestern University academics accuse students of ‘fascism’ after they said they identified as ‘Apache attack helicopters’ on survey about engineering culture

Northwestern academics have accused students of ‘fascism’ after they said they identified as ‘Apache attack helicopters’ on a survey about engineering culture.

The researchers claimed the far-right was on the rise across the US after seeing the students’ replies to the questionnaire.

They claimed the responses were ‘malicious’ and a sign of white supremacy, which they then wrote about in a paper titled ‘Attack Helicopters and White Supremacy: Interesting Malicious Responses to an Online Questionnaire about Transgender Undergraduate Engineering and Computer Science Student Experiences’.

The researchers wrote the paper describing their experiences working on the survey about LGBT students in STEM fields.

They said the ‘backlash’ to the project ‘reflects characteristics of contemporary far-right or fascist political movements in the US, such as the synthesis of antisemitism with anti-Black and anti-feminist rhetorics.’

According to a report in the College Fix, about one-quarter of the so-called ‘malicious responses’ to the survey provided some airplane-related response to the gender question, including a handful who specifically identified as an ‘Apache helicopter.’

Claiming these obviously mocking responses were ‘malicious’ signs of white supremacy indicates these researchers identify as fortunetellers. ABN

Coercive methods to control whole populations

This meme is from about two years ago. It seems that period produced many of the best covid memes. Surely, pressure to get vaxxed was a major factor in meme production as was more than a year of watching covid policies fail or be exposed for their irrationality while government officials assiduously pretended they were working perfectly and criticism of them was subversive disinformation, a cause for shadow-banning or deplatforming.

1,884 Athlete Cardiac Arrests in 2.5 Years, 1,310 Dead

In the past two and a half years, the number of athletes suffering sudden cardiac arrests and related issues has soared to alarming levels.

In early 2021, young athletes started suddenly collapsing with heart-related medical emergencies.

Since then, a staggering 1,884 cardiac arrests or other serious issues have been recorded among athletes.

Unfortunately, 1,310 of those athletes died suddenly.

Good Sciencing has been maintaining a non-exhaustive and continuously growing list of mainly young athletes who suffered major medical issues in 2021, 2022, and the first half of 2023.

According to Good Sciencing, all of the athletes on the list share one common factor: They suffered sudden serious health issues after receiving one or more doses of Covid shots.

Thrown to the Wolves: A physician reveals the nightmare of transgender ideology in a major children’s hospital

Within these academic institutions, so-called experts in the field of transgender medicine would simply declare that puberty blockers and other interventions were the gold standard of care. The evidence to support this is completely fraudulent, but no dissent was permitted. Everyone within the medical community knew that if he questioned transgender ideology, he would suffer the same type of repercussions that had happened during Covid. 

But in reality, when you “affirm” these individuals’ gender identity, what you are doing is affirming their hatred for themselves. You have these children who are going through confusing times, difficult times; when you affirm this belief system, what you’re really doing is telling them: “You hate yourself at this moment, and I will affirm that.” We have to ask ourselves, why do these people have such high rates of suicide? Because we’re affirming that they should hate themselves and that they should try to destroy themselves.

One of the things I’ve been thinking about is what puberty blockers do to children. This medication is called a “gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist” and it comes in the form of monthly injections or an implant. And because it simulates the activity of this hormone, it shuts down the activity of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is this almond-sized structure in your brain, it’s one of the most primal structures we have, and it controls all the other hormonal structures in your body—your sexual development, your emotions, your fight-or-flight response, everything… To shut down that system is to shut down what makes us human.

New emails show COVID vaccine mandates were based on a lie

New documents indicate the entire justification for vaccine mandates was based on a falsehood — and that public health officials knew it.

Emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request show that CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and former NIH Director Francis Collins were aware of, and discussed, “breakthrough cases” of COVID in January 2021 — right when the vaccines became widely available. In her email, Walensky says that “clearly,” it is an “important area of study,” links to a study raising the issue, and assures the person she is sending it to that Dr. Anthony Fauci is looped into these conversations.

However, in public, Walensky was saying something quite different. Two months after discussing this data, she said vaccinated people “don’t carry the virus” and “don’t get sick.” In a congressional hearing, after it became clear people were able to get infected with COVID even after receiving the vaccine, she defended her original statements by claiming it was true at the time she said it — namely, for the strands we were dealing with in early 2021.

We now know that was not true and that Walensky herself knew it was not true.

CDC Director knew COVID vax did not prevent infection

Rochelle Walensky famously claimed many times that the COVID vaccine prevented infection and transmission of the virus.

Even after it became glaringly obvious that this was false, she kept on insisting that the cause of its failure to do so was the development of “variants,” and that the vaccine did work for the original virus. She just repeated this claim to Congress in testimony before a committee investigating the government’s response to the pandemic.

This, it turns out, is a lie, and she knew it. Way back at the beginning of the vaccine rollout, she was quite concerned about the fact that the vaccine did not appear to be working as intended.

Rochelle, so far, has not even attempted an apology. She sold the vaxxes like they were girl scout cookies and getting them was being a member of the team. Filing this post under ‘anti-science’. ABN

See comment below for a nuanced interpretation

If anyone sincerely and fully apologizes, I think we should accept their apologies and let it go. The burden of guilt is bigger on celebrities and even bigger on medical professionals and government officials. A full Buddhist apology includes making amends with no excuses, though an honest explanation is good. How we scale this can be objective to a point. Depending on the person’s reach and what they said or did, their corrective statements and behaviors should be commensurate. I am not going to chase it down but I remember a weak apology from Arnold, saying something like I am sorry for my words. No, Arnie, much more than that is necessary especially when we consider how many were medically harmed by your words. Not only were these people wrong and stupid, they were totalitarian slave boys doing the bidding of their masters for their own profit at the expense of others. ABN

The dubious ethics of Prof. Peter Hotez

Peter Hotez and I share an unpleasant two-year history. When I was not yet banned on almost all social media platforms, I confronted leading coronists with their own contradictions. After Hotez spoke out in favour of universal vaccination of children, my collar burst, and I dubbed him “Dr Evil.”

His response was as follows:

His comrades-in-arms and fellow believers were also quick to speak out and even accused me of anti-Semitism – a typical cyber-bully behaviour. Peter Hotez and his friends around Yamey eventually called on their followers to report me en masse, which ultimately led to the deletion of my account.
