Russian Deputy PM: Restoration of Nord Stream Possible
FILE PHOTO – Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak MOSCOW, Oct 2 (Reuters) – Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Sunday that it was technically possible to restore the ruptured offshore infrastructure of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, TASS news agency reported.
A total of four leaks were discovered last week on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in the Baltic Sea near Denmark and Sweden, with a significant fall in gas pressure leading to the detection of the ruptures.
“There have never been such incidents. Of course, there are technical possibilities to restore the infrastructure, it takes time and appropriate funds. I am sure that appropriate possibilities will be found,” Novak said.
Denmark’s Energy Agency said on Sunday it had been informed by Nord Stream AG that stable pressure had been achieved in Nord Stream 1, once the largest single supply route for Russian gas to Europe, indicating the outflow from the last leaks had halted.
Nord Stream AG said on Saturday that gas was no longer flowing out of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which had held some gas despite never becoming operational.

Germany Spends 2.5 Billion Euros on 100 Million Bivalent Boosters Only To Find No One Wants Them
Bivalent booster uptake fail.eugypius
The German government has ordered 100 million doses of BA.1 and BA.4/5 bivalent vaccines at a cost of 2.5 billion Euros, and almost nobody wants them. An amusing Welt article chronicles the scenes unfolding at our deserted regional vaccination centres, which for some reason are still open:
Michael Hubmann did not expect that so few would come. Only 85 people had themselves vaccinated against Covid-19 on Thursday in Fürth in Middle Franconia, a district with 120,000 inhabitants. “We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for people,” says Hubmann, a paediatrician who is coordinating the vaccination campaign. He explains that vaccinations were offered simultaneously in two shopping centres, a bus, a home for the elderly and in a former shop in the pedestrian zone. “Yet hardly anyone wanted to have the fourth dose.”
The medical bureaucrats are baffled, just baffled:
“Unfortunately, interest in the fourth dose has been pretty low so far,” says Markus Beier, Chairman of the German Association of General Practitioners. At the same time, he says it’s important that people over 60 and those with previous illnesses in particular protect themselves with a further dose. “There is uncertainty among the population as to what further vaccinations will achieve. But they still strengthen protection against severe outcome.”
Meanwhile, vast quantities of vaccine are expiring. At the end of August alone, 3.9 million doses of Moderna and another 700,000 doses of Novavax had to be binned.
The chart above tells the whole sordid story of our recent experiment with mass vaccination. Demand for this snake oil was highest in the beginning, before anybody had any direct experience with it; and in the Fall, when the government tied vaccination to specific social privileges. As overt vaccinator coercion has faded and millions of people have tried these doubtful elixirs for themselves, interest has all but entirely evaporated. This is the ultimate vindication for all those who have been saying that the vaccines are lousy overhyped pharmaceuticals with a bad side-effect profile. A safe and effective product would only gain momentum with the population. It took less than two years for these to wear out their welcome.

Peer-Reviewed Report Shows mRNA Jab Caused Encephalitis in Man’s Brain Before He Died
A Case Report: Multifocal Necrotizing Encephalitis and Myocarditis after BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccination against COVID-19
by Michael Mörz
Academic Editor: Sung Ryul ShimVaccines 2022, 10(10), 1651; https://doi.org/10.3390/vaccines10101651 (Received: 31 August 2022 / Revised : 25 September 2022 / Accepted: 27 September 2022 / Published: 1 October 2022(This article belongs to the Special Issue Adverse Events of COVID-19 Vaccines)Download PDF Review Reports Citation Export AbstractThe current report presents the case of a 76-year-old man with Parkinson’s disease (PD) who died three weeks after receiving his third COVID-19 vaccination. The patient was first vaccinated in May 2021 with the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vector vaccine, followed by two doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in July and December 2021. The family of the deceased requested an autopsy due to ambiguous clinical signs before death. PD was confirmed by post-mortem examinations. Furthermore, signs of aspiration pneumonia and systemic arteriosclerosis were evident. However, histopathological analyses of the brain uncovered previously unsuspected findings, including acute vasculitis (predominantly lymphocytic) as well as multifocal necrotizing encephalitis of unknown etiology with pronounced inflammation including glial and lymphocytic reaction. In the heart, signs of chronic cardiomyopathy as well as mild acute lympho-histiocytic myocarditis and vasculitis were present. Although there was no history of COVID-19 for this patient, immunohistochemistry for SARS-CoV-2 antigens (spike and nucleocapsid proteins) was performed. Surprisingly, only spike protein but no nucleocapsid protein could be detected within the foci of inflammation in both the brain and the heart, particularly in the endothelial cells of small blood vessels. Since no nucleocapsid protein could be detected, the presence of spike protein must be ascribed to vaccination rather than to viral infection. The findings corroborate previous reports of encephalitis and myocarditis caused by gene-based COVID-19 vaccines.[…]Via https://www.mdpi.com/2076-393X/10/10/1651Scottish Government Orders Investigation Into Recent Spike in New Born Baby Deaths
NWO Report
Posted BY: Jim Hoft
The Scottish Government announced an investigation of why newborn deaths were higher than expected in both September 2021 and March 2022, as published by Public Health Scotland.
Healthcare Improvement Scotland has been commissioned by the Scottish Government to investigate the high incidence of newborn mortality in the country.
“The review will cover all reported deaths across Scotland between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022 to find out if there is anything that may have contributed to the increase. Anything identified will feed into recommendations and actions to improve the quality of care for mother and babies,” according to the news release.
“Once the review team is formed it is expected it will take no longer than six to nine months to complete the work,” it added.
Deaths among infants younger than four weeks old increased to at least 18 in March (4.6 per 1,000 births) and as many as 21 in September (2021) (4.9 per 1,000 births), according to Scottish Daily Express.
“Every death is a tragedy for the families involved, that is why earlier this year I committed to this review to find out if there is a reason for the increase,” Public Health Minister Ms. Todd said.
“I appreciate how difficult this time is for anyone affected and I would encourage them to access support if they wish to do so. There is information about organizations and help available on the National Bereavement Care Pathways Scotland as well as the Scottish Government website.”
More from Scottish Daily Express:
While infant death rates vary from month to month, the average among newborns is just over two per 1,000 births with neonatal mortality defined as death within 28 days of birth.
This is the second time since current records began in July 2017 and the second time in six months that the neonatal mortality rate hit 4.8 per 1000 live births, well beyond an upper warning threshold known as the “control limit”.
Coronavirus was suspected of playing a role but experts, while describing the figures as “really troubling” did not directly linked to the virus.
The review will not duplicate any matters which are, or have been, the subject of other review, investigation or audit processes.
Dr Sarah Stock, an expert in maternal and foetal medicine at the University of Edinburgh, told a national newspaper earlier this year: “I think the numbers are really troubling and I don’t think we know the reasons why yet.
“What we do know it’s not neonatal Covid – the rates of Covid-19 infection in babies are very low and deaths from Covid are thankfully very, very small, so this isn’t Covid affecting babies.”

Hidden History: The Systematic US Oppression and Exploitation of Latin America and Latin Americans
Harvest of Empire: The History of Latinos in America
By Juan Gonzalez
Viking Penguin (2000)
Book Review
Although over 20 years old, this book remains extremely relevant in the face of the continuing immigrant crisis at the Mexican border.
Gonzalez begins by describing the pre-European population of the Americas, which according to most scholars was 60 – 110 million:[1]
25 -40 million in modern day Mexico6 – 11 million in the central Andes25 – 40 million North of the Rio GrandMost historical and archeological evidence reveals the slave-based states of the Aztecs (Mexico), Mayas (Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala) and Incas (Peruvian highland) were politically and culturally sophisticated as Europe. The population of the Incan city Tenochititlan was 200,000 – 400,000, in contrast to the 50,00 in London and the 40,000 in Seville.
The Mayans, who had the only written language, also had advanced knowledge of math and astronomy.
In North America, only the the Pueblo civilization [2] approached the sophistication of the South and Meso American civilizations. However the Iroquois Confederacy, which stretched from Lake Superior to Virginia, had the most advanced form of government in North America [3]
After a detailed exposition of successive waves of colonists arriving in the Americas over the next four hundred years, Gonzales describes the forcible annexation by the US government of Florida (1802), Texas, California and the Southwest US (1855) and Central America and the Caribbean Basin during the second half of the 19th century. Along with annexation came the inconvenience of several million Mexicans, Cuban, Filipinos and Puerto Ricans living in these territories.
A good number were exterminated; others subdued by systematic terrorism. In the Rio Grande valley, for example, landowning Mexicans were beaten up, lynched and swindled until the 10% Anglo population controlled nearly all the land.
The other really interesting part of the book linking 20th century immigration patterns from various Meso-American and Caribbean Basin countries to growing exploitation and oppression of Central America, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Mexico by Wall Street and the US government.[4]
The book also details the systematic use of Mexican immigrants (by corporations and the government) to suppress American wages. The US government first began recruiting cheap Mexican laborers between 1880 and 1930 to work on railroads and in the fields between. They forcibly deported 1 million of them when unemployment rose during the Great Depression, even though many were US citizens.
When American men were fighting overseas in 1942, the US started the Bracero Program to recruit new Mexican workers, recruiting as many as 450,000 by 1950. This was followed by Operation Wetback during the 1954 recession, in which they kidnapped and illegally deported 1-2 million Mexicans.
Resurrected when the recession lifted, Bracero ended in 1964 when Lyndon Johnson replaced it with the H-2 Guest Worker Program.
In 1966, US corporations begin moving operations to northern Mexico instead of recruiting Mexican immigrants to cross the border. This trend escalated with the passage by the Clinton administration’s adoption of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994. The latter has resulted in enormous profits for Wall Street, suppression of wages and job growth on both sides of the border, along with (ironically) a massive increase in the flood of immigrants across the Mexican border.[5]
[1] Following the arrival of European settlers approximately 1 million indigenous Americans died annually (from disease and massacres) for most of the 16th century. The Spanish killed more than the Anglos because the advanced societies of South and Meso-America put up greater resistance.
[2] The Anasazis, from whom the Pueblos were descended, were even more “advanced” when they mysteriously disappeared some time in the 13th century.
[3] The European framers of the US Constitution modeled much of it on the Iroquois Confederacy. However they left out the bit about women controlling the land and choosing new tribal leaders.
[4] Prior to World War II, Central America and Caribbean Basin were de facto colonies of Wall Street corporations, who exploited cheap labor and lax regulation in pursuit of hundreds of millions in profits from sugar, coffee and banana plantations. Strikes and uprisings by local peasants to improve their brutal working conditions resulted in repeated US military invasions and occupations.
[5] Gonzalez blames the shutting down of many Mexican farms owing to their inability to compete with cheap US farm surpluses.

Hurricane Ian: Florida Homeowners in for Rude Shock
Florida Insurance Companies were already in crisis before Ian. Many Florida property owners are in for a rude shock.
Hurricane Ian could cripple Florida’s already-fragile homeowners insurance market. Experts say a major storm like Ian could push some of those insurance companies into insolvency, making it harder for people to collect on claims.
Since January 2020, at least a dozen insurance companies in the state have gone out of business, including six this year alone. Nearly 30 others are on the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation’s “Watch List” because of financial instability.
“Hurricane Ian will test the financial preparedness of some insurers to cover losses to their portfolios, in particular smaller Florida carriers with high exposure concentrations in the impacted areas,” Jeff Waters, an analyst at Moody’s Analytics subsidiary RMS and a meteorologist, told ABC News. Waters said Florida is a peak catastrophe zone for reinsurers, and those with exposure will likely incur meaningful losses.

Disturbing Details Coming to Light with Nordstream Pipeline Bombing
Free West Media
US helicopters circled over Nordstream for weeks
The Arabic news channel Al Mayadeen reported that weeks before the attack, US helicopters were circling over the sea area where the fatal explosions took place on September 26 with a striking frequency.
This can be reconstructed using the flight data from the online service “Flightradar24”. According to this, at the beginning of September, just under a month before the attack, a US Navy Sikorsky MH-60R “Seahawk” helicopter was circling for hours on several consecutive days – especially on September 1, 2 and 3 later over the area of the damaged natural gas pipelines not far from the island of Bornholm.
According to the aircraft tracking portal, the US helicopter flew from Gdansk to the area where the Nordstream pipelines were several times.
On September 10 and 19, US helicopters also flew over Nordstream 1, and on the nights between September 22 and 25, several helicopters stayed for hours over the site of later explosions. The helicopters that were in the air on the night of September 22 to 23 and 25 to 26 left particularly confusing flight tracks.
On the latter night, a multi-purpose MH-60R “Strike Hawk” helicopter circled for nine hours over a sea area about 250 kilometers from Bornholm, from about 5:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. Central European Time. Among other things, the “Strike Hawk” can fight underwater targets.
No repair work possibleNo repair work will be taking place on Nordstream Pipelines 1 and 2. Such tasks would have to be commissioned and paid for by Russia, because Russia owns the pipelines. And the EU would have to lift its sanctions against Russia to carry out the work. This is not to be expected in the foreseeable future.
The time window for a possible repair closes in October. Because the tubes are currently full of salt water. Without immediate action, this salt water will corrode the tubes, which are protected against its effects only on the outside, but not on the inside. This information is also available to the federal government, which appears to have written off the entire Nordstream project.
With the demise of Nordstream, the German economy lost billions in value.
The German Bild newspaper summarized the Western dilemma in a quote from an alleged “Russia expert” as follows: “The question is not of a technical, but of a political and legal nature. A number of sanctions against Russian gas supplies will have to be lifted for repairs. The ships that can carry out the construction work must obtain permission for such work. Gazprom needs to be able to pay for the repairs. The necessary technological solutions must also be made available.”
These problems will never be overcome in time – that is, in a few weeks.

Mother Claims Baby Died from Blood Clots of Donated Blood
Baby Alexander before and after blood transfusion (Source: Cornelia Hertzler via Gatway Pundit)
Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News
Earlier this month (September 2022), the Red Cross admitted that they don’t label blood products as originating from COVID-19 vaccinated people or blood from unvaccinated people.
The reason they don’t separate or apparently distinguish blood from COVID-19 vaccinated or unvaccinated people is because they believe that “the COVID-19 vaccine does not enter the bloodstream & poses no safety risks to the recipient.”
As Kyle Becker of Becker News recently pointed out, this statement by the Red Cross that the COVID-19 vaccine does not affect the bloodstream is contradicted by several published studies.
The social media response appears to dismiss legitimate concerns about the Covid vaccines, while slightly overstating the claim that the vaccine “does not enter into the bloodstream.”
A landmark peer-reviewed study published in September provides hard data on the serious adverse events of special interest [AESIs] of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA vaccines as determined in an independent “randomized clinical trial.”
“In the Moderna trial, the excess risk of serious AESIs (15.1 per 10,000 participants) was higher than the risk reduction for COVID-19 hospitalization relative to the placebo group (6.4 per 10,000 participants),” the study found.
“In the Pfizer trial, the excess risk of serious AESIs (10.1 per 10,000) was higher than the risk reduction for COVID-19 hospitalization relative to the placebo group (2.3 per 10,000 participants),” the study added.
The AESIs with Risk Ratios higher than one [elevated risk] include coagulation disorder, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and myocarditis/pericarditis.
In a May 2021 “Science” article, a medical researcher explained how the Covid vaccine ultimately does wind up in the bloodstream.
“The Spike protein is not released to wander freely through the bloodstream by itself, because it has a transmembrane anchor region that (as the name implies) leaves it stuck. That’s how it sits in the virus itself, and it does the same in human cells,” Derek Lowe points out.
“The Spike protein produced by vaccination is not released in a way that it gets to encounter the ACE2 proteins on the surface of other human cells at all: it’s sitting on the surface of muscle and lymphatic cells up in your shoulder, not wandering through your lungs causing trouble,” Lowe added. “Some of the vaccine dose is going to make it into the bloodstream, of course. But keep in mind, when the mRNA or adenovirus particles do hit cells outside of the liver or the site of injection, they’re still causing them to express Spike protein anchored on their surfaces, not dumping it into the circulation.”
Thus, it appears that the Red Cross’s social media response is a bit of an overstatement on the vaccine not entering the bloodstream. It does not exactly engender trust to dismiss the public’s concerns and to post information that appears to be misleading.
There are millions of people who might need to receive a blood transfusion and have documented grounds not to fully trust the mRNA vaccines. It might behoove the American Red Cross to show that they care about those people, too. (Source.)
The Gateway Pundit recently published the story of Cornelia Hertzler of Hot Springs, Montana, who gave birth to a baby boy on January 3, 2022 who died just a month later on February 17, 2022 from blood clots just after receiving a blood transfusion.
Cornelia Hertzler of Hot Springs, Montana, gave birth to Alexander on January 3, 2022. Unfortunately, Alexander died on February 17, 2022.
Mrs. Hertzler told The Gateway Pundit that her one-month-old baby died from a blood clot caused by receiving “COVID-vaccinated blood” during a blood transfusion.
“He died after getting a blood transfusion of vaccinated blood,” Hertzler claimed. “He got a blood clot instantly after receiving his transfusion. A blood clot that no blood thinner could resolve.”
“It got steadily worse until it went from his knee to his heart and his organs shut down. That’s why his body swelled up and his veins looked like they were exploding,” she added.
Alexander was born with a throat problem that can only be treated with surgery. Hertzler claimed that her son was given the blood by the doctor at Sacred Heart in Spokane, Washington, without her or her husband’s permission.
“He had an operation to fix an issue in his throat he was born with. He did not need a blood transfusion during the operation. Most babies do not.”
“Later on, after our authorization had expired (we only authorized a blood transfusion in case of an emergency during an operation). The doctor gave him a blood transfusion because his hemoglobin levels were a little low. We had not given permission for this and the doctor knew we did not want vaccinated blood because we were worried about blood clots. The next day after the transfusion, they discovered a blood clot,” Hertzler said.
Hertzler stated the doctor had ruled out the possibility that the incident was caused by the blood transfusion.
“They would not even consider it was the blood transfusion that killed him. They did admit it was the blood clot that killed him. I’m hoping it can warn others about the danger of the blood from the blood bank,” she said. (Source.)
There is no indication that Mrs. Hertzler was able to receive any information about the vaccination status of the person who donated their blood that was used in her baby, and she perhaps was just drawing conclusions based on the fact that about 80% of the U.S. population has now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and that COVID-19 vaccinated people who have now died commonly have strange blood clots, according to reports from funeral home embalmers. See:
Funeral Embalmer: 85% of Dead Bodies Now Have Strange Blood Clots Since COVID Vaccine Roll-outsEither way, we are surely going to see more tragic stories like this one until someone steps forward to provide blood that is clearly marked as coming from either COVID-19 vaccinated people, or unvaccinated people.
And if the Red Cross is not going to do this, then it sounds like there is a potential lucrative business opportunity for others to step in and fulfill.

Facebook Scrambles to Escape Stock’s Death Spiral as Users Flee, Sales Drop
Saul Loeb | AFP | Getty ImagesJonathan VanianCNBC
A year ago, before Facebook had turned Meta, the social media company was sporting a market cap of $1 trillion, putting it in rarefied territory with a handful of U.S. technology giants.
Today the view looks much different. Meta has lost about two-thirds of its value since peaking in September 2021. The stock is trading at its lowest since January 2019 and is about to close out its third straight quarter of double-digit percentage losses. Only four stocks in the S&P 500 are having a worse year.
Facebook’s business was built on network effects — users brought their friends and family members, who told their colleagues, who invited their buddies. Suddenly everyone was convening in one place. Advertisers followed, and the company’s ensuing profits — and they were plentiful — provided the capital to recruit the best and brightest engineers to keep the cycle going.
But in 2022, the cycle has reversed. Users are jumping ship and advertisers are reducing their spending, leaving Meta poised to report its second straight drop in quarterly revenue. Businesses are removing Facebook’s once-ubiquitous social login button from their websites. Recruiting is an emerging challenge, especially as founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg spends much of his time proselytizing the metaverse, which may be the company’s future but accounts for virtually none of its near-term revenue and is costing billions of dollars a year to build.
Zuckerberg said he hopes that within the next decade, the metaverse “will reach a billion people” and “host hundreds of billions of dollars of digital commerce.” He told CNBC’s Jim Cramer in June that the “North Star” is to reach those sorts of figures by the end of the decade and create a “massive economy” around digital goods.
Investors aren’t enthusiastic about it, and the way they’re dumping the stock has some observers questioning if the downward pressure is actually a death spiral from which Meta can’t recover.
“I’m not sure there’s a core business that works anymore at Facebook,” said Laura Martin of Needham, the only analyst among the 45 tracked by FactSet with a sell rating on the stock.

The More COVID Shots You Get, the More Likely You’ll Get COVID. Here’s Why.
By Dr. Joseph Mercola Story at a glance:
Scientists warn that repeated COVID-19 boosters may result in lowered immunity through a process known as “original antigenic sin” (OAS) or “immune imprinting.”Original antigenic sin describes how your first exposure to a virus shapes the outcome of subsequent exposures to antigenically related strains. The end result is that you become increasingly prone to symptomatic infections.Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirm that people who got two or three COVID-19 jabs are MORE likely to get ill with COVID-19 six to eight months after the last dose than had they gotten none.Health authorities are potentially worsening matters further by pushing people to simultaneously get the updated bivalent COVID-19 booster and a quadrivalent flu vaccine this fall.The COVID-19 jab and the flu vaccine are the No. 1 and No. 2 most dangerous injections respectively, based on adverse event reports and payouts from the U.S. Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Both are also capable of shedding, and both can make you more prone to infection as their protection wears off.COVID-19 has been going on for nearly three years, and with a whole new set of untested COVID-19 boosters being rolled out, some scientists are taking a step back, cautioning that there still are unanswered questions about how the shots work.
They say more research needs to be done on what is known as “original antigenic sin,” aka “immune imprinting,” which refers to how your immune system responds to repeated introductions of the COVID-19 variants.
Understanding original antigenic sin
The following description of original antigenic sin was published in a January 2019 Journal of Immunology paper titled “Original Antigenic Sin: How First Exposure Shapes Lifelong Anti–Influenza Virus Immune Responses”:
“The term ‘original antigenic sin’ was first used in the 1960s to describe how one’s first exposure to influenza virus shapes the outcome of subsequent exposures to antigenically related strains. In the decades that have passed, OAS-like responses have been shown to play an integral role in both protection from and susceptibility to infections.
“OAS may also have an important deterministic role in the differential efficacy of influenza vaccine responses observed for various age cohorts across seasons …
“OAS describes the phenomenon whereby the development of immunity against pathogens/Ags is shaped by the first exposure to a related pathogen/Ag … subsequent infections with similar influenza virus strains preferentially boost the Ab response against the original strain …
“The critical role of primary exposure in shaping the composition of the Ab repertoire was not only observed in humans after influenza virus infections; this phenomenon was also observed in animal models and in the context of other infectious agents.
“For example, additional serum absorption experiments in ferrets infected in succession with three different influenza virus strains demonstrated that nearly all of the host Abs after the infection series were reactive against the first strain, only a fraction of serum Abs could be absorbed by the secondary virus, and fewer yet by the tertiary virus.”
Simplified example
Here’s a layman’s summary to illustrate this phenomenon as simply as possible, within the context of COVID-19:
Exposed to the original Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 strain, your humoral immune system is programmed to produce antibodies against that specific virus. Similarly, if you got the jab, your body will produce antibodies against the viral spike protein formulated into that shot.Exposed to the Delta strain, your immune system responds first by boosting the production of the original antibodies, while antibodies specific against Delta are produced in a far lower amount as it takes time for your body to respond to the new strain.Exposed to an Omicron variant, your immune system again responds by boosting the original antibodies, while antibodies against Omicron are produced in even lower amounts than those against Delta.As a result of this process, with each exposure to a new variant, the original antibodies get “back-boosted.” So, over time, those antibodies come to predominate.
The process is (at least theoretically) the same for all vaccinations. Each booster dose back-boosts or strengthens the original antibodies, making them more and more predominant.
The problem is that they may not be effective at neutralizing newer strains (depending on the amount of mutation), thus rendering you more and more prone to symptomatic infection.
Frequent boosting may backfire
As reported by ABC News:
“Some experts say they are concerned that frequent boosting with the original version of the vaccine may have inadvertently exacerbated immune imprinting. At this point in the pandemic, some adults have received four or more doses of the same vaccine …
“[Some] scientists worry about a potential backfire, with frequent boosting handcuffing the body’s natural immune system and leaving it exposed to radically different variants that might emerge in the future.
“‘Where this matters is if you keep giving booster doses with [original] strain, and continue to lock people into that original response. It makes it harder for them to respond then to essentially a completely different virus,’ says Dr. Paul Offit, professor of pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Philadelphia …
“The timing of vaccines may also need to be taken into account, as the nation moves from original doses to updated boosters.
“‘It is true that the best boosts typically are the ones that are given infrequently, that immunologically, if you boost too much and too frequently, then you often have a lower immune response at the end,’ said [director of the center for virology and vaccine research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dr. Dan] Barouch.”
Data confirm negative efficacy after second dose
In the video below, Dr. Meryl Nass reviews official data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which confirm that people who got two or three COVID-19 jabs are MORE likely to get ill with COVID-19 six to eight months after the last dose than had they gotten none.
Should you double up on COVID-19 booster and flu shot?
Our reckless health authorities are potentially worsening matters further by pushing people to simultaneously get the updated bivalent COVID-19 booster and a seasonal flu vaccine this fall.
Early in September 2022, White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci urged Americans to “Get your updated COVID-19 shot as soon as you are eligible,” and White House COVID-19 coordinator Ashish Jha, September 6, stated, “I really believe this is why God gave us two arms, one for the flu shot and the other one for the COVID shot” — a statement that will live on in infamy as one of the most ridiculous comments from a public health official ever uttered.
One problem, although hardly the most important one, is that it’s still far too early for a flu shot.
As noted by STAT News:
“The protection generated by influenza vaccines erodes pretty quickly over the course of a flu season. A vaccine dose given in early September may offer limited protection if the flu season doesn’t peak until February or even March, as it did during the unusually late 2021-2022 season.
[…]
STAT cites research showing the effectiveness of the flu shot wanes by about 18% for every 28 days post-vaccination. What it doesn’t mention is the fact that the flu shot historically has had an effectiveness well below 50% to start with.
The 2018/2019 flu vaccines, for example, which outperformed the 2017/2018 vaccines, had an adjusted effectiveness rating of:
29% for all ages.49% for children aged 6 months through 8 years.6% for children ages 9 through 17.25% for adults between the ages of 18 and 49.12% for those over 50.This may become the ‘dark winter’ Biden warned about
Ever since the rollout of the COVID-19 shots, there have been suspicions that some kind of shedding is happening between the jabbed and the unjabbed.
With mass flu vaccination, the possibility of transmission is further exacerbated, and there’s no telling what kind of viral mutations the combination of a bivalent COVID-19 jab and a quadrivalent flu shot might produce.
A study published Jan. 18, 2018, in the journal PNAS showed that people who receive the seasonal flu shot and then contract influenza excrete infectious influenza viruses through their breath.
[…]
This study also highlighted the possibility that annual flu vaccination might lead to reduced protection against influenza over time, and that each vaccination can make you progressively more prone to getting sick.
