A Covid Potpourri, 8/6/21

This is a grabbag of Covid related news--it covers a spectrum of issues. 

1. To start with, here's an article that appears at Zerohedge. It addresses a finding that's been floating around for a while, regarding the long term effect of Covid the disease. But understand, as Dr. Robert Malone and others have pointed out--the vaccine side effects appear to mimic, as it were, side effects of the disease and that both are likely attributable to the effect of the toxic spike protein. That means that effects of the disease may also show up as long term effects of the gene therapy injections. In other words, supposing that the vaccine may protect you from these effects is simplistic at this point:

Recovered COVID Patients Suffering 'Significant Cognitive Deficits' According To Large-Scale UK Study

Malone himself has said that he has "long haul" Covid, and has experienced some of the neurogical effects--I believe he referred to his own experience as including "brain fog". For my money Bret Weinstein really hits the nail on the head with regard to this issue. The one way we know that can prevent these effects is early treatment. This is something that should be a no-brainer, yet for far too long the regime policy has been to make early treatment difficult to impossible:

A terrible development.

Assuming the result holds up, it's vital to determine how the emergence of cognitive deficits interact with early interventions and preventive measures. Sending people with Covid home to sicken in place (and to sicken others) never made sense. https://t.co/9IaFyk0Nmz

2. I've been waiting for this next issue to get the attention it deserves:

Vaccine Passports Are New Form Of "Segregation" For Black Communities, Dr. Drew Admits

The article gets into the weeds regarding what the actual numbers are, but the bottom line is that vax mandates will have a very serious impact on a vast swath of people across the country. This is an outcome that liberals are ardently embracing--liberals everywhere are racing to voice their support for hammering the deplorable unvaxxed and unwashed masses, as they see them. Their hatred for these thought criminals who reject "settled science" or whatever, seemingly knows no bounds. In their fantasy world they see these mandates as punishing Trump voters. But of course, as is so often the case with liberals, the reality is different: the one demographic that will be most seriously affected will be African Americans. 

Notably, and maybe this offers some hope for the rest of us:

Boston’s Democratic mayor slams vaccine passports: Comparable to modern-day slavery, Jim Crow

3. It's all for the kids!

I covered this yesterday, but this article goes into even more detail--if you're interested in the Covid angle of government teachers maneuvering from having to return to ... teaching. Yeah, I know about Zoom and all. Don't make me laugh. Ground Zero for this latest political judo by the government teachers is Chicago:

"For The Sake Of The Kids" - Chicago Teachers Union Threatens No In-Person Education Due To "Immediate Threat" Of Delta

Amid all the detail, two lines from the demand letter the government teachers addressed to their subordinates in 'government' jumped out:

"new pandemic variants pose immediate threats to the health of all Chicagoans, but especially our unvaccinated student population." 

and

"school communities need more than masking to ensure safety – especially as we continue to learn about the delta variant." 

The first sentence intimates that as long as new variants develop--and we know that, in the nature of viruses, there will always be new variants--the potential for keeping schools closed will remain on the table. The second sentence subtly reinforces that point by suggesting that there will be an ongoing "learning" process regarding Dread Delta--for now, but likely including all new variants.

What a scam! But they're doing it for the kids! It's how the Prog "village community" comes together for the kids.

Note--as we have in the past--that the students most severely and negatively affected will once again be ... black kids. We've pointed this out several times, as repeated studies have confirmed this. As large a percentage as 1/3 of students in major metro areas simply dropped out. No doubt the spectre of shuttered classrooms is also behind the surge in homeschooling among blacks, but that's still too few students who will benefit. This won't end well, but what do Dems care?

4. ARR--Absolute Risk Reduction. That means This simple tweet by Malone provides background for #5:

COVID-19 vaccine efficacy and effectiveness—the elephant (not) in the room
Absolute Risk Reduction = 1·3% for the AstraZeneca–Oxford, 1·2% for the Moderna–NIH, 1·2% for the J&J, 0·93% for the Gamaleya, and 0·84% for the Pfizer–BioNTech vaccines.https://t.co/cfqlETlzHJ

In other words, in the real world you're not at much risk from Covid no matter what your "risk" bracket.

5. Alarmism from Brandon Smith--but the problem is that, increasingly, alarmism appears to be common sense. That seems to be a corollary to the insight that, these days, the difference between conspiracy theory and proven fact is about six months. Smith is talking about the push for vaccine mandates and what's behind it. Just a few excerpts, but it's stuff you'd be foolish not to be considering. I was personally struck by the repeated refs to "phones"--which, in context, has to mean "smart" phones. It turns out that 85% of US adults own a smart phone. I'm part of the 15% that flies under the radar, so to speak:

We Will Not Comply - A Campaign Against Medical Tyranny

We are dealing with a virus that around 99.7% of people will easily survive according to the medical establishment’s own studies and stats as well as numerous independent studies, yet, for some reason we are being bombarded with fear mongering from the media and from governments.

Why is [sic] the only solution being suggested to the general public involve us giving up all of our freedoms and medical autonomy? Why is 99.7% of the population supposed to lock down, mask up and submit to an experimental mRNA vaccine with no long term testing data to prove its safety? Why don’t the 0.26% of people that are truly at risk of dying from the virus simply take precautions or stay home while the rest of us get on with normal life? Hell, I would be fine with contributing to a fund to help support the 0.26% at risk, to help their families and help with their medical bills.

The Federal Reserve and other central banks burned trillions of dollars in stimulus measures and PPP loans to keep businesses from going completely bankrupt, and to keep jobless “non-essential” workers from starving during the initial shutdowns. But, we could have simply kept the economy going this entire time and paid a fraction of that cost helping the tiny minority of people that would actually suffer from the illness.

Yes, that’s right, I’ll say it again and again because I STILL to this day see the media and misinformed covid cultists continually claim the death rate of covid is much higher. It is not. The median Infection Fatality rate of covid is ONLY 0.26%. This is a FACT. This is the science according the vast majority of medical studies out there on the IFR. Let me repeat: The entire world is being locked down and told we have to give up our inherent human liberties because 0.26% of the population might get more than sniffles and brain fog from a covid infection. Why?

Well, that’s easy; because the covid response and restrictions have nothing to do with public health and everything to do with public control.

Seems inarguable to me. Here's another chunk, but there's lots more:

Globalists like Gideon Lichfield at MIT told us exactly what the plan was in March of 2020 in an article tiled ‘We’re Not Going Back To Normal’. They admit that the goal has always been to institute vaccine passport restrictions that will last for many years to come, if not forever. From the article:

“Ultimately, however, I predict that we’ll restore the ability to socialize safely by developing more sophisticated ways to identify who is a disease risk and who isn’t, and discriminating—legally—against those who are.

…one can imagine a world in which, to get on a flight, perhaps you’ll have to be signed up to a service that tracks your movements via your phone. The airline wouldn’t be able to see where you’d gone, but it would get an alert if you’d been close to known infected people or disease hot spots. There’d be similar requirements at the entrance to large venues, government buildings, or public transport hubs. There would be temperature scanners everywhere, and your workplace might demand you wear a monitor that tracks your temperature or other vital signs. Where nightclubs ask for proof of age, in future they might ask for proof of immunity—an identity card or some kind of digital verification via your phone, showing you’ve already recovered from or been vaccinated against the latest virus strains.”

I say to you that this is the classic philosophy of almost every semi-human monster that has ever lived. This is the ideology of narcissistic sociopaths. The religion of soulless robots. Some of the greatest evils known to mankind have been committed in the name of “the greater good of the greater number”. This mantra cannot be tolerated under any circumstance; it cannot be allowed to infect our nation and supplant our deeper values. Because if it does, we may find ourselves slaves to the system for a very long time.

As I have been warning they would do for the past year, multiple governments are keeping pandemic lockdowns and restrictions in place or they are bringing them back (in the case of the US), and it should be clear to everyone that this circular process of medical tyranny is not going to end. It is never meant to end. The goal of the establishment, of globalists and governments, is to keep the restrictions in place indefinitely.

The mainstream media has consistently attacked the claim that governments would enforce vaccine passports as conspiracy theory. Now they are openly admitting that the plan is to institute vaccine passports and they are vigorously defending it. They are discussing with avid fervor how they might be able to FORCE or compel each and every person to take the jab, even if they don’t want it and even if the jab serves no purpose.

I have my own suspicions of the jab and its true purpose and safety, but lets not forget that the jab is at the very least a stepping stone to the vaccine passports.

The operative word above is "avid". Every day we see ever more gleeful and avid forecasts of the revenge that will be wrought upon the unvaxxed. How they'll squirm, how they'll suffer--oh, the joy of the Progs!

6. Did you hear the one about the medical professor who's calling for hate crime prosecutions against anyone who criticizes Fauci? As is usual, he stated at the end of his article that he had no conflicts of interest. What he omitted is that he has received nearly $10 million in grants from Fauci's NIAID. Really.

7. Finally, I'll toss this article into the mix, since it graphically illustrates the extent to which America is spiraling into an abyss of irrationalism. Notice that I don't say "irrationality". "Irrationalism" is intended to indicate a cultish embrace of irrationality in the name of a higher obedience and submission:
