Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 196

we have something for thatWe are now in the fourth year of these open posts. When I first posted a tentative hypothesis on the course of the Covid phenomenon, I had no idea that discussion on the subject would still be necessary more than three years later, much less that it would turn into so lively, complex, and troubling a conversation. Still, here we are. Crude death rates and other measures of collapsing public health are anomalously high in many countries, but nobody in authority wants to talk about the inadequately tested experimental Covid injections that are the most likely cause; public health authorities government shills for the pharmaceutical industry are still trying to push through laws that will allow them to force vaccinations on anyone they want; public trust in science is collapsing; and the story continues to unfold.

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry and its government enablers are causing injury and death on a massive scale. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its wholly owned politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you plan on making off topic comments, please go away. This is an open post for discussion of the Covid epidemic, the vaccines, drugs, policies, and other measures that supposedly treat it, and other topics directly relevant to those things. It is not a place for general discussion of unrelated topics. Nor is it a place to ask for medical advice; giving such advice, unless you're a licensed health care provider, legally counts as practicing medicine without a license and is a crime in the US. Don't even go there.


5. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

6. Please don't just post bare links without explanation. A sentence or two telling readers what's on the other side of the link is a reasonable courtesy, and if you don't include it, your attempted post will be deleted.

Please also note that nothing posted here should be construed as medical advice, which neither I nor the commentariat (excepting those who are licensed medical providers) are qualified to give. Please take your medical questions to the licensed professional provider of your choice.


With that said, the floor is open for discussion. 

Why does the media still report these like nothing unusual is happening?

Netflix Child Actress Millena Brandão Dies at 11 After Suffering Cardiac Arrest 13 Times

“We lost our little girl,” Thays Brandão said of her daughter

https://people.com/child-actress-millena-brandao-dies-at-11-11728369

"The preteen died on Friday, May 2 after falling ill. However, her cause of death remains unknown, according to her parents Thays and Luiz Brandão.

Thays told Brazilian news outlet G1 that since April 24, her daughter started experiencing severe headaches, leg pain, drowsiness and a loss of appetite. Millena was taken to see a doctor but didn’t receive a proper diagnosis.

"She had a headache, but she could walk and talk. The doctor said it was dengue fever, but he didn't do any tests. He told us to take her back home and give her dipyrone," her mother told the outlet.

Thays explained that Millena’s pain worsened so much that she couldn’t walk. They returned to the hospital on April 26, but she was ultimately sent home again to rest. Two days later, Millena fainted in her bathroom at home. She regained consciousness after her frightened parents rushed her to the hospital."

Court case

[personal profile] boccaccio 2025-05-06 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Dutch neurologist Jan B. Hommel has been an outspoken voice against the Coof policies and vaxx since the beginning. He posted recently on X that he will start a lawsuit with the father of a deceased thirty-someting. The patient died of brain hemorrhage, 3 years after the jab. The pathologist found that "massive spike protein" was found in his brain and concluded that vaccination is the direct cause of the brain hemorrhage, or death.

Besides the lawsuit being interesting, this is yet another case where someone has spike in their body (near) permanently. A part of the population really cannot get rid of spike, most likely because they keep producing it.

So What’s With Chlorine Dioxide?

(Anonymous) 2025-05-07 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
This topic came up toward the end of last week’s discussion, but I’d like to know about the pros and cons in more depth. It’s so difficult to work out where one can learn the truth about anything medical these days.

I’ve read quite a bit of material on it from Dr. Pierre Kory, who has a series on Substack. He and (apparently) others maintain that chlorine dioxide can successfully treat a wide range of illnesses, including cancer.

Others, among them an old friend of mine who’s a long-term AIDS survivor, feel that it’s a con or even a psyop. I give considerable weight to this friend’s opinion, because he didn’t take AZT back when Doc Fausti was flogging it and that’s why he’s alive today. He has a track record of sound intuition.

On the other hand, someone near me has been diagnosed with cancer and I feel I have an obligation to explore every possible modality, especially alternative ones. I don’t trust the medical establishment and I haven’t forgotten the deaths of many relatives from cancer; chemo didn’t save them.

Sorry if this isn’t quite on topic. But I’m pretty sure the subject would never have received such a wide airing were it not for the catastrophic fustercluck of state-sponsored Covidian cultism and its mandated quaxxines.

Miri AF on RFK

(Anonymous) 2025-05-07 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
This is a post on RFK from UK anti-vax activist Miri Anne Finch who was 'activated' after coming to the US and being heavily coerced into taking a measles vaccine by an American University which threatened to deport her if she didn't comply: https://miriaf.co.uk/rfk-mmr-wtf/

Via her post on RFK we receive a succinct statement of the anti-vax position:

"RFK is really very explicit that this is his goal: "I am not “anti-vaccine”. I want safe vaccines."

And what's wrong with that position?

Well, first of all, there is no such thing: a powerful chemical injection can never be made "safe", only "safer". Some will still get side effects, some of them severe, and some will still die from these effects.

Yet even that is sidestepping a much more critical and fundamental issue: are childhood vaccines either necessary or desirable?

First of all, do they work, and if they do, is what they're achieving actually something we want to promote?

The answer to these questions - and as any honest researcher eventually finds when they go deep enough into the vaccine vortex - is no, and no.

Vaccines do not "work", because the fundamental assumption they are based on is demonstrably false, e.g., that the creation of antibody titres equates to immunity to disease.

When a vaccine is said to be "effective", this is not measured by whether it consistently prevents recipients from developing the condition in question, but rather, by whether it provokes the production of antibody titres in the blood.

As the authorities finally admitted during "Covid", antibody titres don't actually equate to immunity from disease (that's why we were relentlessly told that, even if we'd had "Covid" and thus "had antibodies", we still needed to get endlessly injected - because antibodies to a condition don't mean you're immune to it).

So vaccines don't work, because all they do is create antibodies, and antibodies don't equate to immunity.

But further than that, would it be desirable for them to work?To be clear: is preventing routine childhood illnesses something we actually want to do?

The overwhelming body of evidence says, NO.

These conditions are called "routine", and nature meant all children to pass through them, for a reason.

When children go through the process of measles or mumps or chicken pox, their bodies are undergoing powerful detoxes, throwing off toxic loads that may have been inherited from parents or accrued from other environmental sources. The evidence is very clear that going through these illnesses renders children overall less toxic, as they become less susceptible to toxicity-related conditions, like cancer and heart disease, later on.

What vaccines appear to do - why they create the illusion of "working" insofar as most children who have received e.g., a measles vaccine don't go on to contract measles - is suppress detox pathways, so toxicity that was meant to leave the body, stays trapped inside it instead, manifesting in much more serious ways later on.

In short, it isn't just the additional "crap" in vaccines undermining national health - it is the very mechanism of vaccinating itself, and stopping children from developing measles and other short-lived childhood ailments is actively harming their health."

Reality Engineering

(Anonymous) 2025-05-07 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
JMG, please delete if this feels too off topic. Joshua Stylman has posted a series of articles on societal control. In particular, I found the third article in the series quite relevant to the Covid issue where he talks about how TPTB have employed technology to distort reality and promote compliance. https://stylman.substack.com/p/mkultra-the-hidden-hand-part-3-the

From the article:

"Two decades after 911 transformed airline travel and normalized domestic surveillance, the COVID-19 phenomenon demonstrates perhaps the most sophisticated application of reality engineering to date. Populations experienced not merely disagreement about facts but entirely different perceptual frameworks—divergent realities operating in parallel. Digital technology accelerated this fragmentation, creating the illusion of togetherness while physically isolating people in their homes, each consuming personalized reality streams.

The perceptual division continues today in visible daily patterns: some still wear masks while others act as if the pandemic never happened; remote work has become normalized for some professions while others insist on physical presence; and an entire generation of children now understands "socializing" as potentially meaning digital interaction rather than physical proximity. Beyond these behavioral markers lies something more remarkable: entire epistemological systems diverged, with different segments of the population inhabiting increasingly separate information ecosystems that render certain thoughts unthinkable within their respective reality tunnels.

This wasn't merely polarization but perception management at scale—the culmination of mind influence techniques applied at population level, where shared reality itself fragments into programmable alternatives. The Network's most sophisticated achievement wasn't just influencing what people thought about specific interventions, but creating parallel perceptual environments where the basic frameworks for determining truth versus falsehood themselves diverged."

And from the article's conclusion:
"Next time your phone buzzes, recognize beyond the addiction pattern:

The trigger-response conditioning mirroring MKULTRA techniques

The induced state of heightened suggestibility following the notification

The directed focus shaped by algorithmic curation

The loss of time awareness characteristic of hypnotic states

This isn't habit formation—it's The Network's tendrils engaging with your neurology through techniques pioneered in classified settings. What MKULTRA once achieved through trauma and drugs, The Network now replicates through digital immersion and frequency—only now, the subjects finance their own programming

As we'll explore in Part 4, the fight for cognitive sovereignty requires understanding that technology addiction is merely the delivery mechanism for more transformative consciousness manipulation. You thought the show was outside, but The Network's influence has woven itself directly into neural pathways. The Laboratory created the methods, The Theater staged the performances, The Network deployed them to billions—and now we face The Mirror, where we confront not just habits but the systematic programming of perception itself."

BREAKING: President Trump Announces New Surgeon General Nominee — Withdraws Pro-Masking, Pro Censorship Surgeon General Pick Who Accidentally Shot Her Father at Age 13


Trump also revealed that Nesheiwat would work in another capacity at HHS with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr..

I am pleased to announce that Dr. Casey Means, will be nominated as our next Surgeon General of the United States of America,” Trump wrote. “Casey has impeccable “MAHA” credentials, and will work closely with our wonderful Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to ensure a successful implementation of our Agenda in order to reverse the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and ensure Great Health, in the future, for ALL Americans.”

“Her academic achievements, together with her life’s work, are absolutely outstanding,” Trump added. “Dr. Casey Means has the potential to be one of the finest Surgeon Generals in United States History. Congratulations to Casey!”

Secretary Kennedy looks forward to working with Dr. Janette Nesheiwat in another capacity at HHS. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Yes, it's very strange. Doesn't make any sense. I was promised that if I supported RFK Jr. in his Senate confirmation that neither of these siblings would be working under HHS or in an appointment (and that people much more qualified would be). I don't know if RFK very clearly lied to me, or what is going on. It has been clear in recent conversations that he is reporting to someone regularly who is controlling his decisions (and it isn't President Trump). With regards to the siblings, there is something very artificial and aggressive about them, almost like they were bred and raised Manchurian assets.

From the above-mentioned post, the concluding slide:

- No evidence of viral pathogenicity before the behavioural changes to society.
- Reattribution of deaths to Covid-19 from other causes.
- Deaths that did occur caused by the medical and public health response and were not due to a novel virus.
- Every single policy not only failed to mitigate death from the 'virus' but evidently made the situation worse.
- The Covid event was created primarily by fraudulent PCR testing, changes to death coding and iatrogenisis.
- There was no pandemic.

Social Media Censorship as Cause of the Covid Madness

[personal profile] anonymoose_canadian 2025-05-08 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
One of the things that struck me about the covid madness was just how many people got sucked into it even before March of 2020. This never made sense to me, but one of the books I've just read, The Hype Machines by Sinan Aral, might accidentally provide an answer to this. Over the course of 2019, the major tech companies started taking steps to shut down "anti-vaccine" content on the internet. This included anything that would encourage people to decline to take vaccines. Content such as "the flu is not actually all that dangerous to most healthy people."

Since the best arguments for covid not being dangerous is to look at the flu and say the flu is not really that dangerous to most people, even before covid specific censorship started, Big Tech was removing the ability of most people to get one side of the story on how dangerous the virus was. Since most people get most of their news from the internet, and a huge fraction of that either passes through or tries to make it onto the Big Tech platforms, that means that right from the start efforts to amp panic would spread easier than efforts to tone it down.

Crucially, however, this also seems to neatly explain the odd assortment of people I know who saw through the madness from the start: in my personal experience, there is a near perfect correlation between not using social media (defined as algorithmic websites) and seeing through the madness at the start. Things got more complicated later, but it is suspicious, and it provides a possible explanation for why so many people would go insane all at once.

Naomi Wolf / glamor / Casey Means / MAHA

(Anonymous) 2025-05-11 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Naomi Wolf just posted what I'd call a bomb for the US MAHA movement. She makes some compelling arguments about what's behind the notion of appointing Casey Means US Surgeon General and why it doesn't begin to make sense— or, as Wolf (her PhD is in poetry) more elegantly puts it, Casey Means' "narrative does not pass the most sophomoric level of scrutiny."
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/the-imaginary-casey-means

One key aspect where I believe this matter comes into the realm of this forum is the glamor— and I mean glamor in the occult sense— surrounding Casey Means as a public personality, surrounding Silicon Valley, and surrounding so many of the new technologies, and in addition, the glamor in industrial publishing and MSM visibility in itself.

Glamor is an astral phenomenon that deliberately distorts perople's perceptions.

The fact that Means' brother and co-author Calley attacked Naomi Wolf on Twitter as he did, a playground-level nah-nah (screenshot in Naomi's substack post), is also very telling.

I would say, based on my personal experience, that too many people too easily assume that individuals with money and power — and glamor — are savvier than they actually are.

Interesting Times.
