There is a new dominant variant that is emerging here and there in the US. At the moment, it seems to infect mostly 1.) Those who have received any Cobid-19 vaccine, or 2.) Those who have had at least one prior Covid-19 infection.

CDC: Vaccinated at Higher Risk from Covid Than Unvaxxed

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that Americans who have received mRNA shots for Covid are now at a higher risk of infection from new variants of the virus than those who are unvaccinated.

The CDC quietly made the damning admission in an update on its guidance regarding newly emerging variants of Covid.

However, according to the notice, people who have been vaccinated are more likely to catch the new variant than someone who has never been vaccinated or had Covid.

It states that the new variant “may be more capable of causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received COVID-19 vaccines.”

Goalpost moving:

The CDC insists that the new 2024 election vaccines will definitely do their job when they’re rolled out later this month.

“This updated vaccine will be effective at reducing severe disease and hospitalization,” the CDC claims.

(The goalpost was moved after Delta and Omicron showed that they didn’t work as described, however Walensky knew that they didn’t just a few months after people started getting jabbed and she called Fauci and Collins to discuss how to handle the issue, but she kept the information from the public and still insisted that they were effective. -sd)

Alarmingly, the CDC makes this claim while simultaneously stating that “scientists are [still] evaluating the effectiveness of the forthcoming, updated COVID-19 vaccine.”

The CDC’s admission comes just a month after the Cleveland Clinic released the results of a study that showed that a higher number of COVID-19 vaccine doses received increases the risk of infection with COVID-19.

The study was published at Open Forum Infectious Diseases (OFID), wherein the studies are fully peer-reviewed.

Despite concerns, this round of Covid shots is being rushed to market without proper testing as previous versions were.

However, as Slay News reported, new documents have just been unsealed that expose Pfizer’s testing practices for prior mRNA injections.

Pfizer tested its Covid “boosters” on fewer than two dozen people before Democrat President Joe Biden’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the mRNA shots for full public use, explosive unsealed documents have revealed. (Guess that’s better than the previous booster that was only tested on 8 mice that then died after being exposed to the virus. -sd)

Remember Biden said that it’s simple. "If you get jabbed you won’t get infected." as did Fauci and Walensky and many media stenographers such as Rachel Moscow. Jill Biden is on her 3rd round of the Rona. Biden and Fauci have had it twice and Walensky got it one month after she got boosted.

As for masks if they actually block the virus and protects infected people infecting others then they should have to be disposed of in a biohazard bin instead of just being thrown in the garbage bin that eventually becomes overflowing with deadly viruses that would easily spread to others.

If you can find the earlier charts that showed case numbers you will see that the numbers were going down just before the jabs came out. It’s believed that because the jabs are non sterilizing they are pushing the virus to mutate. This was discussed by many scientists and doctors before people started getting them. Maybe what we are seeing is ADE? Antibody dependent enhancement.

My cousin took a job at Home Depot for the same reason, and ran into a similar problem. Home Depot a very manly kind of place, and masks were optional, so she went without a mask to better fit in. The store was in a rural location. During that time, the unvaccinated did pretty well, but the vaccinated were getting sick, especially if they were over 55 years old. She had a long run ar Home Depot, but eventually another surge began with a new variant. She quit the job but caught the Covid on the way out the door.

Later on I read some research papers about this reverse-immunity phenomenon. Scientists believed that when the vaxxed and non-vaxxed worked together in a closed environment, the non-vaxxed somehow developed a natural immunity to the virus. They speculated that the vaccinated who were getting boosters were shedding antigens (antibody fragments) that spread much the way Covid did, to the unvaccinated folks. No further studies were funded, I imagine. This 'contact' immunity was temporary, and it seemed to correlate with assumptions about so-called herd immunity.

The fact is, Scientists have never figured out how to produce a neutralizing vaccine for any corona virus. The best they can do is a temporary immune boosting serum, which is better at masking the symptoms than it is at stopping infections. Nevertheless, it successfully suppressed symptoms that resulted in ICU admissions — and thus prevented a collapse of the US health care system, which was the major concern of the leaders in Washington. Flattening the curve.

My tiresome digression, here, does have a point, which is to say that research into "treatments" for Covid-19 was always the most promising endeavor (rather than research into vaccines). The immediate development of treatments was more likely to provide immediate benefit for both patients and, health care workers, too. This was a forced choice, and treatment development lost. The pursuit of treatments didn't completely disappear at that time, but such studies were severely suppressed and sometimes irrationally denounced in medical journals. However, there are miracles in nature all around us. Re-purposed drugs, at this point in medical history, is a treasure trove. There is enormous data on the long-term effects of many excellent drugs (that no longer have patent potential). Furthermore, there is a plethora of unexplored synergies in the world or retired miracle drugs.

So after Covid "serums" became the official protocol, world-wide, the FDA finally approved a "treatment" medication for people who become infected with Covid-19 — which can happen whether or not they are vaccinated. The CDC website now urges people who test positive for Covid to immediately contact a health care provider for a prescription for Paxlovid, particularly people older than age 50. Paxlovid must be taken as early as possible. It may not be effective if you wait too long. Any urgent care center can provide the same help.

In the US, Covid is no longer tracked in a useful way. The best we can do is strategic wastewater testing around the country. Here is a page with charts explaining some of the data from the past 8 months:

We're essentially flying blind now, in terms of defensive wellness..

Perhaps someone with more patience than I, can distill useful information from this data. There is a new dominant variant that is emerging here and there in the US. At the moment, it seems to infect mostly 1.) Those who have received any Cobid-19 vaccine, or 2.) Those who have had at least one prior Covid-19 infection.

Hope you both feel better real soon.

@usefewersyllables my brother and his friend went to a casino in Lafayette. Afterwards, they both had the flu, the worst flu of their lives. His friend missed work, used up all his sick time, remained ill for a couple of months. My brother, retired, pretty much stayed in bed for 3 months. In December, I returned from a vacation in Morocco. I got the flu. Then, pneumonia, then double pneumonia, then walking pneumonia. Then, some strange eczema outbreak, and a cough that persists to this day. My brother and his friend also cough a lot. We were not COVID tested, as there were no tests, or even a name for the virus.
In 2021, I had the antibodies test that showed I had COVID "a long while back".
Last week, my secretary's 11 yr old son tested positive. He was given meds for sore throat, was sick for 3 days, missed one day of school. I tend to think the newest actual variant might be very mild, but seasonal flu is particularly bad this year. If you get a COVID test, it is statistically more likely to show positive than negative. If I were to get sick right now, I would refuse to be COVID tested, demand a normal medical regimen for flu.
I remember how one year, 2021?, there was magically no flu case hospitalizations. All COVID cases. I will not allow any dr. to pull that shit on me.

to omit any actual meaning in terms of prevention is an absolute crime against humanity.

I'm "vaxed" twice and "boosted" once, and have now had covid 5 times. It'll be 6 or 7 times soon enough, I'm sure. But I will not be getting any more covid-related goop under any circumstances. It is not a vaccine, and I am permanently out of the weasel-word-parsing game. If it doesn't prevent infection, it is not a vaccine, and it is therefore worse than useless.

Sigh...
