take a chance on explaining.

JtC was watching the Covid comments mixed in with regular essays, and seeing them get many versions of what's going on. Rather than having those threads end up on the front page which is usual for Open Threads, he asked each Open Thread author to put up a separate post just for Covid Conversations. They won't be put on the Front Page.

By and large his strategy has worked. And most threads are civil and informative.

Does that help?

ETA: fixed a spelling and want to leave a list of podcast sites and critical thinkers...
Some names to look for in this thread…
Dr. Robert Malone - an early inventor of the mRNA platform, and current skeptic. Banned from Wikipedia, YouTube and others.
Geert Vanden Bossche - One of the first to predict ADE and leaky vaccine intensification of variants and fewer diverse strains.
Dr. John Campbell - recently podcast an excellent analysis of protease inhibitors such as Ivermectin, Pfizer version, and Merck version.
https://youtu.be/E1GF0H9V_1g
FLCCC - they have a very good preventative protocol listed on their site.
https://covid19criticalcare.com/ivermectin-in-covid-19/epidemiologic-ana...
Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Merick, founders of the FLCCC alliance.
Chris Martenson - Peak Prosperity, big believer in DATA who deconstructs medical papers on Covid and has a weekly podcast also about surviving all that is going on. https://youtu.be/4-vZR35yzlQ
Dr. Mobeen Sayed - Podcast all things Covid, https://youtu.be/SGNf1IjX6ck
Bret Weinstein and his wife Heather Heyling - weekly podcast called DarkHorse on Odysee platform...https://odysee.com/@BretWeinstein:f/105:c3

If there are others, please feel free to take this list and add to it.

Thanks for the Covid Corner el.

I asked the following to get some clarity about what was expected when changes were first announced - and got the response below, which I thought was fairly clear.

But is, as I interpret it, quite different from saying that nothing related to Covid (what is *not* these days?) should go anywhere outside The Dose which is much more far reaching. For example - can no Covid-related essays be authored aside from TD?

OK, maybe I missed something subsequent to the response below. However, my question "Where did that come from?" is a legitimate one and I would have *expected* a response from the OP (or from JtC, of course, should he choose to).

Can we operate on the assumption that if the editor of an OT does not specifically say to avoid Covid-related content that they are effectively saying that if it comes up it comes up and that if it does and the thread is exiled to CC that they are prepared to live with that?

@ovals49 possible ways out of this. I would sure like to hear more unless it's hopeless.

Maybe the playbook is to look at how the HIV/Aids, Fauci, AZT issues resolved. It seems to me when he was confronted with other ways he just carried on and everyone else just woke up and went back to 'normal' life. I'm not sure my impression from this distance is correct.

for surgeries. A retired physician friend of mine had shared some remarkable accounts of guided directed attention by patients resolving chronic dermatological issues. The mind is capable of much more than we think possible, some of which defies explanation by current medical understandings.

On the down side, there is a possibility that some of these abilities may be evoked subliminally, and not for beneficent aims. This appears to be the suggestion Malone is laying out in this clip. The MK-Ultra experiments were surely not the only experiments exploring subliminal “mind control”.

Several countries have closed their borders, and airline passengers are stranded.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said in a statement a few hours ago (Monday 29th November) that the Omega (Omicron) variant poses a “very high” global risk and could change the course of the pandemic and have severe consequences.

The WHO said, "Omicron has an unprecedented number of spike mutations, some of which are concerning for their potential impact on the trajectory of the pandemic.”

The WHO added in its statements, "The overall global risk related to the new variant ...is assessed as very high."

.

Omicron is said to be in 22 countries, including Canada

Now, here we go with the disambiguation and deflection:

Scientists can't say whether current vaccines offer protection. This will take weeks to determine.

The best advice is to wash your hands frequently and to wear a mask. If you can work from home, do so.

They can't say whether it is more contagious than the Delta variant, or whether the illness is more severe.

Vaccine makers say it will take at least three months to have a vaccine prototype.

The WHO said that the new variant is likely to spread internationally very rapidly and that countries must start preparing for the worse as soon as possible. According to sources, the statement was made based on certain preliminary findings but the WHO stopped short of disclosing those details and instead said that studies are currently underway and that more details would be available to the public on the need to know basis within the next two weeks.

.

Meanwhile, the international health organization is urging its 194 member states to accelerate vaccination of high-priority groups and, in anticipation of increased case numbers, to "ensure mitigation plans are in place" to maintain essential health services.

I checked in with a cranky molecular biologist I like to read, and he had already remarked on the announcement.

Honestly we are confused as to why the Who and so many idiotic experts online and in mainstream media are asking people to get vaccinated fast because of the emergence of the Omega (Omicron) variant when in the first place we do not have any data as yet as to whether the vaccines do or do not have any efficacy against this new variant and whether the new variant could induce ADE issues or even serious consequences as a result of viral priming via exposure to previous infection by other SARS-CoV-2 strains or variants or even by vaccination!

@NYCVG

said basically the same thing. It’s not that bad. I’m also reading how the virus was discovered much earlier and not just the other day which lends me to believe that it’s just fear mongering to get people jabbed. Fauci and his cohorts are saying that the best way to fight this is to rush out and get jabbed to protect themselves. Welp the fallacy there is that the person in Hong Kong was fully jabbed as were others who are infected with it. How can people not see the failure of the ‘vaccines'? Remember Fauci said that to end the epidemic we needed 70% jabbed.

In addition to the Darth Vader article posted below here’s another must read on Bill Gates buying up journalism and controlling what is said. Hope you have time to read both.

https://www.mintpressnews.com/documents-show-bill-gates-has-given-319-mi...

Here’s the video with Max and Jimmy on the article.

If you’re rushed for time you can listen to the video 1st and then read to fill in the blanks. We should be paying more attention to what he’s doing. His father was involved in eugenics too. Gates recently warned about a smallpox epidemic and the FDA has given authorization for smallpox drugs. Now some smallpox vials have gone missing. Who knows?

Snips

- Federal health regulators say an experimental COVID-19 pill from Merck is effective against the virus, but they will seek input from outside experts on risks of birth defects and other potential problems during pregnancy.
- The FDA scientists said their review identified several potential risks, including possible toxicity to developing fetuses and birth defects that were identified in studies of the pill in animals.
- Given the safety concerns, FDA said Merck agreed the drug would not be used in children.
- Regulators also noted that Merck collected far less safety data overall on its drug than was gathered for other COVID-19 therapies.

“While the clinical safety data base was small, there were no major safety concerns identified,” FDA reviewers concluded.
- Additionally, the FDA flagged a concern that Merck’s drug led to small changes in the coronavirus’ signature spike protein, which it uses to penetrate human cells. Theoretically, FDA cautioned, those changes could lead to dangerous new variants.
- Merck’s drug uses a novel approach to fight COVID-19: it inserts tiny mutations into the coronavirus’ genetic code to stop the virus from reproducing.

But that genetic effect has raised concerns that in rare cases the drug could cause birth defects or even spur more virulent strains of the virus.

Umm no not a good drug when the side effects are this bad whilst there is an already safe drug that has been out for decades. It will be interesting to see if it gets approval even though it comes with potential dangerous side effects and only has a 30% chance of working. Fauci claims that he hasn’t seen any trials on ivermectin even though there have been more than 60 that show that it’s effective plus many doctors have been using it as well as other drugs with good results. Let’s just stick with remisivider (so) and that is toxic to kidneys and one that causes birth defects and possibly cancer over one that is safer than aspirin. And costs $700 over one that just costs a few dollars.

As for the video opal posted. Absolutely we have been subjected to a massive psyops from the beginning. The lockdowns were to tell us that this epidemic is very bad and the isolating people drove the point home. That’s why many countries used behavioral psychologists to modify their message. Make people afraid of something and they won’t ask too many questions. Brilliant.

@snoopydawg a new vaccine in fewer than 100 days.

of course there will be.

Since vaccines no longer have to be effective or safe, Why we can throw together something in a jiffy.

All a scam.

Just as so-called new treatments for many ailments are not new, but barely re-worked combos of the same old one.

The distinguishing factor is that the "new" meds do not have generic substitutes and so make more profits.

Fauci has no problem okaying drug that big pharma rushes to get authorization, but insists that the already proven safe drug ivermectin goes through long trials. And even though they have been through 66 peer reviewed studies he refuses to authorize it. It’s always been the standard when people have one foot in the grave that doctors can use off label drugs if they think there is a chance they can help. Except for now. The doctor video below is an eye opener.

@doh1304
He cancelled the Phase III - randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study of thousands of people that was to evaluate safety and efficacy of the vaccine last spring. It was to continue until the fall of 2023.

Due to deaths being similar from COVID and the vaccines they are indistinguishable for the most part. Unfortunately very few autopsies are being performed of these deaths to discover the true cause. They can crank up the PCR tests to 35-40 cycles and claim they died of COVID.

BTW, this type of study is one that Fauci DEMANDED to prove ivermectin is "safe and efficacious" before he would allow it to be used as a prophylaxis by the FDA. He had already ensured the study on hydroxychloroquine would fail, using dangerously high doses (even killing some of the participants) and given only in the later stages of COVID infections.

It’s the one for hospitals that accept Medicare must be jabbed.

I read about this doctor’s case last week or two. It’s beyond comprehension that doctors who are saving lives are being told to quit doing it. Doctors who treat patients and getting good results and anyone that questions the vaccines only path are the undesirables that were wiped out in Germany. Good for her for not answering whether she has been jabbed or not. It’s no one’s business what people do for their health. BTW why didn’t Fauci push monoclonal antibodies from the beginning after they came out? How many lives did that cost? Boy she doesn’t come off as an anti vaxxer nut does she?

There is some encouraging news, and some mysteries still associated with Omicron symptoms. Let’s review a doctor’s experience with COVID cases and what does it mean?

According to the Dr. Angelique Coetzee who is the Chair of the South Africa Medical Board and a practicing GP in Pretoria, the symptoms are extremely mild. Scratchy throat instead of cough. No anosmia and loss of taste, however, lot of fatique. A young child had high heart rate.
...

This could mean bad news for Fauci who had been mounting a renewed push for vaccination using the spread of the Omicron variant as an excuse.

IVM Beats Pfizer and Merck One-Trick-Pony Pills
...
Ivermectin Strong Against Multiple Targets

Inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 key target proteins in comparison with suggested COVID-19 drugs: designing, docking and molecular dynamics simulation study. Excerpts in italics with my bolds.

...
Conclusion from John Campbell

So whereas the Pfizer drug is only working as far as we’ve been told in the proviso press release against one biochemical modality of viral replication, the Ivermectin mechanism is working at many different levels. The fact that the Pfizer medicine is only working against one particular biochemical pathway means to me that the virus could learn to avoid that. It could evolve to be drug resistant as indeed the early antiretrovirals did with HIV.

With ivermectin, because it’s working on so many different levels, it is improbable, to put it mildly,that a virus would mutate in a dozen different ways to avoid all those different mechanisms. We’ve talked about six mechanisms today. It’s very unlikely that we get six mutations that could dodge all of those all at the same time.

So I’ve a brief message to world leaders, people that are making the decisions about this:

Come on you all, you’re not a horse and you’re not a cow. You’ve got a human intellect. Let’s use it to follow the scientific evidence to save human pain, suffering and death.

Plus the kicker is ivermectin costs less than $2 bucks compared to the $1000.00 to $2000.00 for it's competition.

free of pollution with EDCs (which are causing all kinds of cancers, early in life, as well as morbid obesity.)

The cost to society of these omnipresent EDCS is astronomical and tells us we are looking at a health crisis in a few years from EDCs.

In Europe its already around 2% of the European Union's GNP. An astronomical amount of human misery, and money. Its probably much higher here because we regulate much less than them. Also people delay going to the doctor here because of cost, which is suicide.. Insurars wont pay if they are successful at delaying care long enough.

almost guaranteeing people will die rather than survive cancers because we delay treatment until all can be done is palliative care, hospice of those guaranteed to die soon. Palliative care.
