The Dose November 18, 2021

A column for all things COVID

The greatest impact this week for me was watching Senator Ron Johnson - R - Wisconsin in the subcommittee hearings on the vaccine injured. The Rumble video is almost three hours long but it is very watchable, unlike Odysee, with no stutters or voids.

If someone could put up a link to that video, I would so appreciate it.

I also want to add that the usually expected safety oversight groups and usual processes seem to have been truncated for the 'studies'. Someone like McCullough or Malone had quite a bit to say about the discarded safety procedures. I have looked for the video, but couldn't find it.

It looks like Pfizer had a grand total of one (1) trial that has been used for almost everything. Do I have that right?

Here's an interesting presentation of excess deaths by country from the Economist. Not sure of the original source.

Excess deaths

After looking the 'All Countries' information, I really wonder about the hair on fire messaging we are getting about the total 'cases' for example in Germany. How sick are they? How many are above the normal flu season? And other simple questions. It sounds like they create panic by non-differentiation and blurring of information.

It's an open thread, so weigh in. Thanks for civil and thoughtful exchange.

We have the Kennedy book on order since at least a month. It's currently sold out. Really?

I appreciate the previews. I may not have the stomach to read.

That is my understanding. Ivermectin had 60+, most of which were completely, and deliberately ignored by Fauci & Co..

Just read the chapter in Kennedy’s book “The Killing of Hydroxychloroquine”. The takedown began “way back in January 2020, months before the WHO declared a pandemic….”.

There is no doubt in my mind that the field of potential preventive treatments was already being cleared to make way for an exclusive franchise for a select few mRNA vaccine candidates which were already waiting in the wings. Hydroxychloroquine had already demonstrated efficacy against MERS and SARS, and might have closed the door on EUA’s for the vaccines if it also was proved effective with SARSCov-2. The means employed to denigrate the competition and elevate the vaccines as chronicled by Kennedy were unconscionable in the extreme.

trial which will last until the fall of 2023 when the final report was to be released. Last spring they discontinued the placebo group only a few months in. Unfortunately this will make the study almost useless for determining the long term safety of the vaccine.

Any attempts to get data at this time to find out why the vaccine's efficacy and safety are not up to the standards that were highly promoted at the beginning of the vaccine's roll-out are now being legally challenged. Pfizer's lawyers are countering that it will take up to 55 years to comply with a court ordered request.

This leads us to believe there is something they are hiding as we go into 3rd and 4th booster shots less than a year into the program.

So no push for preventatives nor treatments. Not even a whisper of mouthwash as a virucide nor iodine nasal spray. Those two simple steps (D and mouthwash) would have nipped the pandemic in the bud, of course that wasn't ever the goal.

Be well!

@Lookout I stayout of these threads because they are overwhelmingly anti vax which I have been on record may not be for everyone. However for some of us, due to our own personal and family circumstances, we have chosen to become vaccinated. So I hope my comment here will not be discounted.

It seems as though much in these threads is presented as an either/or situation. I firmly believe that the majority of people in the country do not see it as black and white, but rather as a combination of strategies to protect ourselves and our friends and family as best we can. The use of vitamin D is one such strategy for myself in addition to being vaccinated and wearing a KN95 mask at all times while out in public.

Being in very good health to begin with may not prevent severe symptoms from this pandemic as I personally know in the case of two individuals. This is why I encourage any and all strategies that each person may feel comfortable in using to mitigate first getting this virus or if we do get it, to prevent severe long term impacts that can come back even one year after initial illness, as was the case of one friend of ours.

I believe that Dr. Campbell has been very good at presenting a variety of strategies for us to ensure our optimal recovery and/or prevention should we encounter COVID on a personal basis. While younger patients may be able to withstand this virus with nothing more than the symptoms of a common cold (as was the case of several unvaccinated family members), age is no guarantee as was the case of a woman I know who suffered from long COVID which was so bad, she had to sell her profitable small business.

I would hope people would keep an open m ind toward those of us who have chosen multiple strategies in trying to keep ourselves and those with whom we interact as safe from the most devastating effects of COVID.

@Dawn's Meta Our actions are informed by our experience.

I think the pushback is due to the overwhelming amount of herding in one direction. If there is openess to treatments as well and informed consent, it would be an level playing field.

If tptb were transparent as they said they would be, they wouldn't need the pressure and othering.

We both feel the same way from a slightly different viewing point.

I hope choices any of us make are for the best.

Please take care.

I'm vaccinated...two jabs, but I've decided not to boost.

The point I've been trying to make is we have been misled to think vaccines are the only way out of the pandemic and there are no other options. That is simply not true.

Everyone has to pilot their own course through this upheaval. No one is criticizing anyone for being or not being vaccinated. Sorry if I gave you that impression.

My participation in the COVID conversation is to share what I've learned and my evolving thinking on the subject.

@Lookout @Lookout ETA: we are scared in another way. We have hyper immune function due to too much exposure to many toxins. We are horrible candidates for any vaccine.

After years of having them we have been warned. But medical exemptions are hard to enforce.

We are using the FLCCC protocols and isolating as much as possible. We use IVM twice a week and if we feel any sense of a cold we make it daily.

I have had 2 shots and will avoid the booster for as long as I can.

are the completely new genetic 'vaccines' that were rolled out with ONLY 2-3 months of human testing. This did not allow sufficient time to investigate any adverse effects. In addition to this, ALL the data for their efficacy and safety is being withheld until 2023 at the earliest and possibly even 2056 if the Pfizer lawyers get their way. This despite many doctors and lawmakers insisting at least the preliminary data be released. Take note that the placebo group in the Stage III trials that were to continue until the end of the study in fall of 2023 were discontinued last spring (2021). Unfortunately this means we don't have a control group to compare efficacy and safety of the brand new, never before used in human inject-able product.

When these gene therapies were rolled out in mid December 2020, Fauci touted them as "100% effective, 100% safe", "we will see the bright light by February, March, April", "we will reach herd immunity by the second quarter (2021)".

We've watched as both the efficacy and safety both degenerated before our very eyes in less than 10 months. In the most vaccinated countries in the world they are approaching not only requiring a 3rd booster but now a 4th booster for the original vaccinated population. One of the troubling aspects is that the MSM are involved in this cover up of the failure of this vaccine. It has now become apparent that a booster shot will be mandated for the coming winter 'flu' season as the efficacy of the vaccines has gone well below 50% and some as much as 20%.

The other concern that I have is that this gene therapy must be used as the SOLE legal prophylactic to combat SARS-CoV-2. Nowhere will you find information on the beneficial benefits of vitamin D, vitamin C, quercetin, melatonin, zinc and Omega 3's from the NIH. In fact any mention of them has been suppressed by the MSM and FDA itself as efficacious in combating the virus. If you mention them you WILL BE automatically labelled an anti-vaxxer.

But I don't think the vaccination are the real 'end game'. They are just the camel's nose under the tent.

Is is unfortunate that you have not followed the DOSE as we are currently discussing not only the mandating of the vaccines and subsequent booster shots but TPTB will be tying them directly to a biometric identification system that you will have to keep on your person to be produced whenever you are out in public. We now see this set in law in Canada, Australia and Western Europe - the countries that have been focused on by the WEF for The Great Reset. Third world countries have been easy to manipulate and control because they are financially dependent. This has not been hidden from sight for anyone who cares to look.

Compliance from the US government is essential for the success of this plan so US citizens will have to get on board. The only thing in the way is the American Constitution to prevent the draconian laws that been enacted in those other countries becoming the rule of the land. We are watching this fight occurring in real time as we speak.

We have gone far, far beyond to vax or not to vax. How do feel about these developments that have occurred in less than a year?

I admit that I’m vax hesitant because of my health issues. It should be an individual decision whether or not to take an experimental gene therapy which is what the vaccine companies call their products.

I don’t see these discussions as anti vax either as many have taken them. I see them as a place to see lots of information that the media refuses to cover. It’s been very valuable to me.

He is taking a lot of guff for doing what he is doing. He is right when he asks if relevant agencies are in touch with people who have been hurt?

No one is calling these people. After they were promised.

I recommend a researcher named Dr. Bruce Patterson. He is working on tests and treatments for inflammation syndromes. He is seeing success, almost regardless of the original instigator. Dr. Mobeen has a couple of good videos with him.

112 Kids Given Smaller Dose of Wrong COVID Vaccine, Pharmacy Ordered to Stop Administering Shot

A Virginia pharmacy wrongly administered COVID vaccines to 112 children under age 12, using a smaller amount of the vaccine formulated for people 12 and older. Last month, two children in Texas were given adult doses of the COVID vaccine, and in Indiana, two young children got COVID vaccines instead of flu vaccines.

Two children suffer adverse reactions after mistakenly given adult dose of a COVID vaccine

As The Defender reported Oct. 15, Joshua and Alexandra Price took their 4-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter to a Walgreens in Indiana for the flu shot, but the children and parents were all mistakenly given Pfizer’s COVID vaccine.

“Walgreens called me to say there was a mix-up, we did not receive the flu shot,” said Alexandra. “And I’m like well what did we get? And he was like we got the COVID-19 shot, and instantly I was like, well what does this mean for my kids…?”

The parents said their children, Sophia and Lukas, experienced side effects from the vaccine — which was approved only for ages 12 and older. The side effects included fever, body aches, cough, headache and nausea.

The children received a dose three times higher than what was used for testing for children in clinical trials.

“The 4- and 5-year-old are also under treatment of a pediatric cardiologist for tachycardia and elevated blood pressure, respectively,” the Prices’ attorney, Dan Tuley, said in a statement.

“[The cardiologist] said our daughter was having higher blood pressure than she would like,” said Alexandra. “And Lukas, our son was having tachycardia …”

“Their prognosis is uncertain at this point in time, and their medical treatment providers continue to monitor their conditions,” Tuley said.

Kids are getting their 2nd shot closer than what adults were getting, but I haven’t seen why that changed. Anyone?

And how hard it is to post information on the site. She talks about how every case she submits is 1st given a temporary case number and then after follow up with the CDC and verified it’s given a permanent one. So no people aren’t just saying whatever they want and posting nonsense.

https://thehighwire.com/videos/these-patients-deserve-to-be-heard-vaers-...

She tells what she has been seeing on the adverse reactions and also how she got reprimanded for being seen as anti vaccine and told she can’t post any cases she hasn’t seen. The person she talked to said that everyone is supposed to be on board with getting people vaccinated regardless of the injuries she sees. Highly recommend watching it. But horses and water….

The guy on the phone call is the hospital administrator who says that people should understand the risk/benefits, but the people at the national level want people jabbed. Regardless of the risks. That’s abhorrent. People aren’t being informed of the risks. They are telling her to cover them up. Just following orders huh? Grumble! The woman is the chief medical officer.

"You must push the party line because we want people to get jabbed. Period." In other words even though you’re seeing problems you have to stay silent about it. That part starts at around 40 minutes.

You got to toe the company line and there has been no education on how to use VAERS. It takes about 30 minutes to post each report. Doctors don’t have time to do that.

I have not the slightest criticism of your decisions. As I have posted several times, I believe the first waves of injections could be an excellent part of an overall public health strategy. I do not like the speed of its development, but there is plenty of published evidence that they do what they were billed to do -- to reduce the chances of fatality or serious illness from those who catch the disease.

For that reason, there was never any chance that these treatments would end the pandemic. In fact, the Pfizer executives planned the booster shot regime from the start and they knew that this would be endemic -- something that will never go away. From March 11, 2021, quoting from the Pfizer website:
.

.
[W]e believe it's becoming increasingly likely that an annual revaccination is going to take place. And we believe that, that's going to take place for the foreseeable future, most likely a single dose, but that's what we see based on what we've seen to date. And not as -- so we don't see this as a onetime event, but we see this as something that's going to continue for the foreseeable future.

Now in terms of pricing, let me see if I can hit on that. So if you look at how current demand and current pricing is being driven, it's clearly not being driven by what I'll call normal market conditions, normal market forces. It's really been driven by kind of the pandemic state that we've been in and the needs of governments to really secure doses from the various vaccine suppliers. So what we believe, what I believe is as we move from a pandemic state, from a pandemic situation to an endemic situation, normal market forces, normal market conditions will start to kick in. And factors like efficacy, booster ability, clinical utility will basically become very important, and we view that as, quite frankly, a significant opportunity for our
vaccine from a demand perspective,
from a pricing perspective, given the clinical profile of our vaccine. So clearly, more to come here. But we think as this shifts from pandemic to endemic, we think there's an opportunity here for us

.

Yeah, as of seven months ago, very early in the vaxx campaign, they were already working on the booster shots and operating from the premise that this is endemic, rather that a pandemic. This disgusting rhetoric from Pfizer to the Investment Community was: This is An Opportunity.

But that opportunity would not be worth shit if people could get early treatment that works. So we have a debate about whether ivermectin "works." On one side, we have a lot of people arguing that it works -- and on the other side is a pack of lies and suppression.

People who took the jab are not making up those ridiculous lies.

Nor is it their fault that there is an organized Big Lie campaign in support of Vaccine Only and in support of mandating this medication. Those lies are far more significant than the disease itself, or just about anything that we have encountered on this planet. Most of the governments of the world are now destroying the last vestige of popular democracy in this effort to mandate the globalization of the doctor-patient relationship -- and a lot of other things.

I do not recall a single post on this board or any of the other boards where I lurk that blames people who get vaccinated for anything. Personally, most of my friends and relatives have gotten the jab(s) and I would not want any of them to start quaking in their boots about the possibility of injuries to come.

I have no reason to believe that anybody will be injured. Unfortunately, I also have no reason to believe that nobody will ever be injured by these innoculations.

We are all just taking our best guess about things that are unknowable. If there was a credible case made that this would stop the pandemic, I would go along with it.

But Pfizer knew it was endemic all along. They are the assholes, not their customers.
