Opinion | Covid Vaccine Hesitancy Took Off This Winter. Can We Fix It? - The New York Times - "The response has been almost like clockwork, at nearly every medical visit in the past few weeks. “It’s time for the flu shot,” I’ll say to my patients, “plus the updated Covid vaccine.” And that’s when the groans start... a majority of my patients respond along the lines of, “Fine to do the flu shot” — sheepishly pause, then say — “but not the Covid.” When I ask my patients if they have any concerns or questions about the Covid vaccine, hardly any do. Practically no one asks me about safety data or how effective it is at preventing viral transmission, hospitalization and death. Almost no one asks me about current case counts or masking or Paxlovid. There’s just a vague hedge or an abashed, “I don’t know, I just don’t.” As I try to suss out what’s on my patients’ minds, I can feel their slight sense of surprise that there is no specific issue causing their discomfort about getting the updated Covid vaccine. It’s as though they have a communal case of the heebie-jeebies... When my patients express their hesitance to get the updated vaccine, I’ll explain how the Covid virus has mutated, so that’s why we’ve altered the vaccine, just as we do for the flu shot every year."
It's amazing how clueless people can be. But being immersed in a liberal bubble means you can't imagine anything else

FDA vaccine advisers 'disappointed' and 'angry' that early data about new Covid-19 booster shot wasn't presented for review last year - "A former FDA scientist who helped run the agency’s vaccine division told CNN that if he were still at the agency, he would have advocated for sharing the infection information with the advisers, even if it was made available only a short time before the meeting.   “I don’t think there’s any excuse for excluding it,” even with its imperfections, said Dr. Philip Krause, who served as deputy director of the FDA’s Office of Vaccine Research and Review until he resigned in October 2021.  “The company’s failure to present this information at the [FDA advisers meeting] and the omission of discussion about the data at that meeting raises questions about the ability of the process to provide a full and transparent review of the data,” he added.  Krause said his main concern was preserving – or regaining – the public trust in the FDA... About a month after the CDC advisers met, studies were released from researchers at Harvard and Columbia suggesting that the new vaccines didn’t work any better than the original."

PeterSweden on X - "WOAH  I recently discovered something very weird.  Bill Gates invested a whopping $55 MILLION in BioNTech that made the Pfizer mRNA injection.   You will never believe the date that this happened...  Is this just a coincidence?   You know, the company that partnered with Pfizer to make their mRNA covid vaccine and drove Pfizer's revenue to a record $100 billion in 2022.  Well, I had a look and found something very interesting indeed. When did Bill Gates invest this large sum of money?  Turns out that it was on the 4th of September 2019.  Covid was discovered just two months later in November 2019 (at least the first time we got to hear about it).  This turned out to be very profitable for Bill Gates, his investment increasing by 10 times. The original $55 million was worth over $550 million just a few years later.   "the collaboration will fund the identification of potential HIV and tuberculosis vaccine and immunotherapy candidates and their pre-clinical development. It will further enable BioNTech to build out its infectious disease infrastructure, including platform development" - it says in the press release from BioNTech.  Guess what?  Bill Gates has also donated some $20 million to the BBC.  Now it is being reported that the BBC misrepresented the risk of covid in order to boost public support for lockdown.  other words, the mainstream media deliberately mislead the public and scared them into supporting draconian lockdown measures, and also probably scared people into rushing to get the brand new mRNA injections.  Meanwhile Bill Gates investment grew and grew...  "One example is that they gave the impression that hospitals were being overwhelmed during the first wave. Some (mainly in London) were, but overall hospital bed occupancy was at an all-time low during that period" said Professor Mark Woolhouse.  Remember when we were told that the hospitals were completely full and we had all the dancing nurses on TikTok? Remember how some peopel were labelled "conspiracy theorists" for questioning this?  Turns out that the so called "conspiracy theorists" were right once again. The hospitals were not full. We were being lied to.  What do you think about all of this, surely it is just a coincidence that Bill Gates just happened to invest large amounts of money into BioNTech just two months before covid?"

How Should Civil Libertarians Respond to Pandemics? - "Although a crisis may make increased surveillance more palpable to the billions under some kind of lockdown civil libertarians shouldn’t be shy about highlighting the ineffective nature of many emergency measures and insisting that even those that are effective be strictly time‐limited.  Tragedies, panics, and crises have a tendency to result in bad policy. The 9/11 terrorist attacks prompted a wave of unnecessary and ineffective laws and policies...   Even when emergency measures are effective they can sometimes stick around longer than necessary. At the beginning of the Second World War the British government passed a range of policies that infringed on civil liberties, including the introduction of ID cards. In September, 1939 First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill gave a speech in which he emphasized that infringements on freedom would be temporary... The surrender of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan did not spell the end of British ID cards. It wasn’t until 1952 that the British government finally scrapped ID cards over the objections of many in law enforcement."

The Author Who Warned Us Against Blindly Trusting “the Science” - "  “Attacks on me are, quite frankly, attacks on science,” said Anthony Fauci to widespread ridicule or approval, depending upon which side you are on. If you doubt his judgment personally, you must not believe in “the science.” Fauci went on to claim that all of the “things he’s talked about” were “fundamentally based on science.”  Let’s put the weasel words aside and recognize that what he wants you to believe – that all his official policy recommendations (“all the things I’ve talked about”) were firmly proven effective through application of the scientific method – is demonstrably false. The most rigorous, most scientific studies show precisely the opposite.  Fauci was a proponent of what has become to be known as “lockdowns,” the widespread closure of businesses and/or stay-at-home orders for the general population. Dozens of studies show this had no demonstrable effect on the spread of Covid-19. As one after another came out, Fauci went on talking about lockdowns as if this evidence did not exist...   Let’s not forget that early in 2020 Fauci said a study based on a single case of asymptomatic spread of Covid-19 “lays the question to rest.” And guess what? It turned out the patient documented in the case had never been asked if she had symptoms. When it turned out she was symptomatic at the time of transmission, the study was unpublished. Subsequent studies failed to prove asymptomatic spread was significant. A December 2020 study looking at secondary attack rates within the same household – published right on the NIH (Fauci’s agency) website – says it’s miniscule if it exists at all.  Yet, Fauci goes on talking as if this study doesn’t exist. He has no choice. Without asymptomatic spread, there is no justification for lockdowns or mandating masks for asymptomatic people. On a rare occasion where the largely useless national media confronted Fauci with a question about how Texas could be doing so well four weeks after abandoning all Covid restrictions, he had no answer. “Maybe they’re doing more outside,” he mused. Then, he went on recommending the same policies as if the question had never been posed. Fauci wasn’t alone. When White House coronavirus advisor Anthony Slavitt was asked why locked down and masked California and restriction-free Florida were having similar results in terms of Covid spread, he began his answer with perhaps the only honest words that have escaped a public health official’s mouth: “There is so much of this virus that we think we understand, that we think we can predict, that is just a little bit beyond our explanation.” But then, in literally the same breath, he said we do know masking and social distancing work.   Now, you don’t have to be a trained journalist for the obvious follow-up question to occur to you: “No, Mr. Slavitt, the question I just posed to you suggests we don’t know masking and social distancing work because we are seeing equivalent results in states that are and are not following those policies.” Of course, that follow-up was not put to Slavitt. And you really have to ask yourself why. The failure of scientists to be scientific is not a new phenomenon. Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) dealt directly with the tendency of scientists to reject evidence that contradicts the prevailing theory or “paradigm.”... What makes the New Normal so strange is that a scientific revolution occurred with no anomalies. It was firmly established by a century of scientific research that suggested nonpharmaceutical interventions weren’t effective in combating respiratory viruses. Indeed, Fauci himself initially repeated the established scientific consensus that lockdowns and mask mandates were not effective policy responses. He even discouraged people from voluntarily wearing masks.   Then, he and the rest of the government scientists did a complete about face. There was no new evidence that motivated this. They simply abandoned the prevailing scientific consensus based on a desire to do something – even though the scientific evidence before, during, and after the outbreak of Covid-19 said what they wanted to do wouldn’t work. As a result, there is now a New Normal paradigm based on…nothing.  It should be noted that there were plenty of non-government scientists protesting vehemently right from the beginning. The authors of the Great Barrington Declaration were already loudly protesting lockdowns as early as April 2020. Others contested asymptomatic spread, the mortality rate initially reported (they were right), and the efficacy of masks.   Here is the problem. This New Normal paradigm can’t collapse in the face of anomalies, no matter how numerous they are, because the anomalies are now simply ignored. Anyone who calls attention to them, no matter how credentialed or qualified, is systematically discredited.  In such an environment, unsubstantiated assertions like “Covid-19 spreads asymptomatically” and “lockdowns and mask mandates work” continue to form the basis of policy. The same goes for vaccine mandates.   It’s not that evidence against New Normal science can no longer be found. Much of it is available right on the websites of the government agencies denying it. It is simply a matter of saying “no” when governments and media demand you refuse to believe your lying eyes and obey.  Obedience has a price. We will be feeling the economic effects of lockdowns for many years. An entire generation of children will suffer psychological damage from being forced to wear masks during their most formative years. The damage to society as a whole from lockdowns, mask mandates, and (anti)social distancing policies may be immeasurable.  Neither can you simply go along to get along until things “get back to normal.” If and when the COVID Crisis finally ends, there is a Climate Crisis already teed up to begin as surely as night follows day. It will feature the same breathless media propaganda and ignoring of contrary evidence as did the COVID Crisis. The cost this time will be a significantly and permanently lower standard of living for you and your children.  That’s the price of obedience. Are you willing to pay it">?"

Is Our Military Being Used as Vaccine Guinea Pigs? A Flight Surgeon's Testimony Will Make You Wonder - "Lieutenant Colonel Teresa Long, a Brigade Surgeon in the 1st Airborne Brigade of the U.S. Army, gave the most shocking testimony.  In May 2021, Long attended a senior preventative medicine leadership course where senior medical staff discussed the COVID-19 vaccines. Following the presentation, she reports asking the following question, “So, we skipped two years of phase two trials and three years of phase three trials? We only lost 12 active-duty soldiers to COVID-19. Yet, we are going to risk the health of the entire fighting force on a vaccine we only have two months of safety data on?”  The response she says she received is astonishing. Long reports she was told, “You’re damn right, Colonel. And you’re going to get every soldier you can to take the vaccine so I can get enough data points to determine if the vaccine is safe.” Long had suffered long-term, painful injuries from a medical error following the birth of her daughter, and she bristled at this response... After a visit to Fort Benning, Long says soldiers there reported threats and coercion to get vaccinated... Long did a shift in the acute care clinic. She saw five patients. Two came in with chest pain within days to weeks after vaccination. Both were diagnosed with pericarditis and sent to be worked up for myocarditis. Another came in with neurological problems, including drowsiness and confusion. A pilot, the patient reported that he felt like he was drunk and the symptoms would not go away. Long ended up grounding three pilots due to what were, in her medical opinion, vaccine injuries. When she reported this to her command, superiors pulled her charts, canceled her remaining patients, and reassigned her to perform only regular flight physicals... She also pointed out that women have unique considerations, and that 8 out of 10 FDA-approved drugs that were pulled off the shelf disproportionately hurt pre-menopausal women. Specifically, she called out a medication called DES. Pregnant women took this synthetic hormone to prevent miscarriages, preterm labor, and other pregnancy complications. Most often, these women delivered healthy, full-term babies. However, when their daughters entered adulthood, they had alarming rates of rare genetic cancers and infertility. It took 40 years to identify the multi-generational side effects of that particular drug. Long cautioned that there is no substitute for time when identifying medication side effects."

Vaccine-injured mom says MSM wouldn't share her story - "Carrie Sakamoto, a previously healthy young woman, is suing the federal government and the CBC after following what she calls 'misinformation' and experiencing severe adverse effects after receiving her second COVID-19 shot... The mother of three, who suffered significant physical and psychological harm, including permanent Bell’s Palsy, thought she was doing “the right thing” by following the advice and information from the government and the CBC about the COVID-19 vaccines... Following a thorough medical evaluation, Sakamoto was diagnosed with severe and permanent Bell's Palsy attributed to the Pfizer vaccine. As a result, she has endured facial paralysis, hearing loss, vision impairment, dizziness, anxiety, depression, memory loss, cognitive impairment, synkinesis, sleep disruption, speech impairment, tinnitus and vertigo.  She says these chronic health issues have significantly impacted her life, compromising her ability to drive, further exacerbating her isolation and the challenges faced by her and her children... To accommodate her needs and attend medical appointments and rehabilitation treatments, Sakamoto and her family were compelled to sell their rural family farm and relocate to an urban area.  While Sakamoto was granted limited support through the federal Vaccine Injury Support Program, the amount received did not adequately cover the full extent of her injuries, psychological impact, or financial losses resulting from her vaccine-related injuries.  In an attempt to share her vaccine injury story with the public and medical professionals to enhance awareness and improve the management of vaccine-related injuries, Sakamoto reached out to various mainstream media outlets (MSM) she said.  However, none agreed to share her story."

Why Is Pro-Vax Aetna Paying Firm Founded by COVID Skeptic? - "Dr Eli David is a COVID skeptic who regularly tweets criticism about the settled science. But he’s also the co-founder of a company contracted by the health insurance giant Aetna... David is wildly popular with COVID conspiracy theorists, who are drawn to his daily tweets mocking scientific experts, spreading doubt about the safety of the COVID vaccine, and ridiculing those taking precautionary measures, like wearing masks.  In the last month alone, David has repeated numerous talking points common among COVID skeptics. He has claimed the virus poses “almost zero” risk to young people, while the vaccine poses “major risks;” said the pandemic was “faked,” cautioned followers to never “believe in science,” suggested scientists and politicians who imposed COVID restrictions should “pay for their crimes;” and tweeted: “Covid is a deadly pandemic. It killed science, logic, evidence-based medicine, and common sense.”... “Vaccine skepticism kills people. So having the founder of a health-care company associated with a movement that kills people raises some serious questions,” says Dr. Robert Field, a professor of health management and policy at Drexel University.  To analyze David’s social media reach, The Daily Beast partnered with the Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a non-profit that aims to counter online misinformation... “It’s another example of someone who can masquerade as an expert in vaccines without having credentials in a relevant field,” says Imran Ahmed, the CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, “Algorithms reward only engagement, and there’s nothing that can be guaranteed to infuriate people that someone spouting nonsense and lies about vaccines.”  Ahmed is frustrated that three years into the pandemic, social media platforms have not developed effective ways to curb the spread of COVID misinformation."
It's amazing that they could still publish this in 2023. Weird how so much "settled science" turned out to be wrong (weird, the left still keep claiming no one claimed the science was settled, but they still keep sharing the meme about how science changing is evidence that it works and is self-correcting). And it's not like the left didn't villainise the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration either, who were credentialed experts
Clearly criticising the establishment is hateful. So when the left talks about "hate" you know they're doing a bait and switch

Covid Vaccines Linked To Small Increase In Heart And Brain Disorders, Study Finds—But Risk From Infection Is Far Higher - "Researchers from the Global Vaccine Data Network—a research arm of the World Health Organization—looked at expected versus observed rates of 13 medical conditions that were considered “adverse events of special interest” in a study population of 99 million vaccinated people eight countries, making it the largest Covid vaccine study to date.  Rare cases of myocarditis—inflammation of the heart—were identified in the first, second and third doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s and Moderna’s mRNA vaccines: The highest rate was seen after the second Moderna dose (6.1 times the expected rate of cases), according to the study published in the journal Vaccine.  Another heart condition called pericarditis had a 6.9-fold increased risk in those who took a third dose of AstraZeneca’s viral-vector vaccine, while a first and fourth dose of Moderna’s vaccine had a 1.7-fold and 2.6-fold increased risk, respectively.  There was a 2.5-times greater risk of developing the rare autoimmune disorder Guillain-Barre syndrome among those who took AstraZeneca’s vaccine compared to the rate researchers expected, and a 3.2-times greater risk of getting blood clots among the same population.  There was a 3.8-times greater risk of developing the neurological disorder acute disseminated encephalomyelitis after the Moderna vaccine was administered, and a 2.2-fold increased risk after AstraZeneca’s vaccine, according to the study."
Of course, we're told that the risk being higher if you get infected means it's justified forcing people to get covid vaccines, even if they've already been infected or are naturally immune to covid (not to mention how vaccination doesn't stop you being infected, so you could get the worst of both worlds)

Sudden deaths in young competitive athletes: analysis of 1866 deaths in the United States, 1980-2006
Damn covid vaccine!
Keywords: died suddenly

Solving the mystery of sudden deaths in young adults - "sudden deaths among the youngest adults occur from multiple causes—surprisingly, not all are heart-related. About 5-10 percent remain unexplained even after autopsy; these are frequently attributed to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Other causes in the Indian context include infections, stroke, and gastrointestinal and respiratory illnesses. This was revealed in a 2011 autopsy study that specifically looked at sudden deaths among people in India between the ages of 18-35 years. However, among older age groups, a greater proportion of sudden deaths are due to heart-related causes. A 2002 autopsy study published in India, which examined the cause of sudden death occurring between the ages of 23-50, showed that 77 percent were due to coronary heart disease; other causes being aortoarteritis, cardiomyopathy, and stroke... A recent study by ICMR observed the course of 14,419 people who were discharged from hospitals across India after surviving COVID-19. The study found a remarkably high death rate of 6.5 percent over a year. Specific risk factors included age-specific reasons and pre-existing medical conditions. The main causes of these delayed deaths were heart and lung disease. The study reported that people who were vaccinated were less likely to die over the subsequent one-year period when compared to those who were unvaccinated. Another study from ICMR looked at 729 individuals between the age of 18-45 who died suddenly despite being in  “good health”... The study states that vaccination did not increase the risk of sudden death. On the contrary, the authors report that vaccination reduced the risk of sudden death among adults."
