Pushing people to dash to vaccination when vaccines are not stopping infectiousness or transmissibility won’t do the trick – Pic by Shehan Gunasekara
The current COVID vaccines – AstraZeneca, J&J, Pfizer, and Moderna are now obsolete. They do not cover the new variants. Patients are being hospitalised and getting sick, despite them. And because of the record levels of deaths and injuries reported after them, they should be considered ‘unsafe and unfit’ for use. Even in Germany the number of adverse effects is leading the Federation of Pathologists to urge for more autopsies in the wake of vaccination, to assess the cause-and-effect link
The State Minister of Primary Health has told people to stay home except for ‘urgent’ matters. Why? We have primarily an airborne virus, not primarily spread through personal contact. And if those vaccinated, and those not at statistical risk, and those who have recovered, stay home too, that’s madness!
Why be vaccinated? Why then have the wits to read data re who is actually vulnerable (above 65 with comorbidities are overwhelmingly those at risk)? And if you recover, a plethora of recent studies confirm immunity is robust and long lived and far better than the non-sterilising vaccine immunity. A superb article from a colleague summarises the overwhelming evidence there… https://www.biznews.com/health/2021/06/28/covid-19-vaccine-immunity.
The State Minister says ‘cases’ have increased by 30%. How do we know? Same, distorting PCR tests which are unreliable. The new government ‘stay at home’ protocols which are a wonderful step forward, refer to Ct values (PCR amplification) of up to 35! Above 28, they are riddled with false positives, why are we even entertaining those results? Anyway, cases mean symptoms, not ‘positive tests’ and positive tests are irrelevant.
UK had 26,000 daily tests, and a mere 36 daily deaths two days ago. This pattern has continued for weeks. US had 100,000 positive tests and cumulatively 326 daily deaths on the same day. You can’t imprison a country when there is such a wide gap possible between ‘test’ and ‘outcome’.
She says deaths have increased by 48.8%. Again, how do we know? The way we fill out death certificates, if you test positive, you are a ‘COVID-linked’ death. That doesn’t show COVID is killing more, but in a period of perhaps greater infectiousness, more people, dying or otherwise, will test positive, which means more deaths will be ‘classified’ as COVID. That doesn’t show they are ‘from’ COVID (which would be without any other major compounding comorbidity). Sustained excess mortality, not ‘classification of deaths’ is what would be the demonstration here.
She says, “The only cure is to prevent the disease from spreading.” Alas, untrue and impossible. It has spread around the world and is mutating like mad. This is why ‘locking it in’ is ridiculous, horse has already bolted, barn door not the solution.
There are numerous early treatment protocols, we presented to policymakers, perspectives on this from some of the world’s leading clinicians in early June. And clearly those principles have been well-applied, and the one indicated by the Government for outpatient care for those with ‘mild symptoms’ is very good. They add ‘asymptomatics’ which is irrelevant by global experience as that is just a euphemism for ‘healthy.’ But that protocol is a potential breakthrough. So ‘staying home’ won’t do it, but early treatment if symptomatic, sure.
Plus, I have highlighted Dr. Chetty’s protocol, which if we could be allowed to present, with 6,000 patients ‘cured’ – no oxygen, no hospitalisation, no death, then all the ICU and hospital pressure disappears and there is no danger of our health system buckling. And society moves on! We know what to do if someone genuinely worsens. Most people will just naturally recover.
Pushing people to dash to vaccination when vaccines are not stopping infectiousness or transmissibility won’t do the trick either.
And we surely aren’t going to have a playbook, that every three months, it is ‘medicine’ to shut down and economically eviscerate society, rather than let natural immunity do what it’s done for billions of years? We will not be economically viable, while the rest of the world is moving to focusing on the symptomatic and staying away from mass testing.
Demonstrable maxims:
The UK confession
From the UK, breaking insight. There is no way of stopping COVID spreading through the entire population, experts tell MPs as they call for end of mass testing as reported in the Daily Telegraph.
Scientists have called for an end to mass testing so Britain can start to live with COVID, simply as they cannot see another way forward or out.
The Delta variant has wrecked any chance of ‘herd immunity’ as per a panel of experts including the head of the Oxford vaccine team, strong vaccination proponents overall. They are calling for an end to mass testing so Britain can start to live with COVID (as Singapore has said, US States are doing, Sweden has already demonstrated, and more).
These scientists said it was time to accept that there was no way of stopping the virus spreading through the entire population, and monitoring people with mild symptoms was no longer helpful (a similar conclusion reached by Iceland recently, which despite being one of the most vaccinated nations on earth, is still locked down with fresh surges).
Prof. Andrew Pollard, who led the Oxford vaccine team, said it was clear that the Delta variant could and did infect the fully-vaccinated, which made herd immunity impossible to reach even with high vaccine uptake.
Speaking to the all-party parliamentary group on COVID, Sir Andrew said: “During the course of this week, there will be 65,000 deaths in the world. We have now over four billion doses deployed of the vaccine globally, and this is now enough doses to have prevented almost all these deaths, and yet they are continuing.”
So, the confession is, that short of natural immunity, and robust early treatment, we don’t have anything that will stop transmission. Professor Pollard said again, “So I think we are in a situation where herd immunity is not a possibility and I suspect the virus will throw up a new variant that is even better at infecting vaccinated individuals.”
Both PHE (Public Health England) and the US CDC concur that vaccinated people when reinfected carry a ‘similar viral load to unvaccinated individuals’ and may be every bit as infectious. Professor Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia, an expert in infectious diseases who also advises the WHO, says it is also time to change the way the data is collected as the virus became endemic.
“We need to start moving away from just reporting infections, or just reporting positive cases admitted to hospital, to actually start reporting the number of people who are ill because of COVID,” he added. “Otherwise, we are going to be frightening ourselves with very high numbers that actually don’t translate into disease burden.”
Sir Andrew fortifies the point highlighting that if mass testing was not stopped, Britain could be in a situation of continually vaccinating the population.
“I think as we look at the adult population going forward, if we continue to chase community testing and are worried about those results, we’re going to end up in a situation where we’re constantly boosting to try and deal with something which is not manageable,” he said.
“It needs to be moving to clinically driven testing in which people are willing to get tested and treated and managed, rather than lots of community testing. If someone is unwell, they should be tested, but for their contacts, if they’re not unwell then it makes sense for them to be in school and being educated.”
Dr. Ruchi Sinha, consultant paediatrician at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, told MPs and peers that choosing not to vaccinate children would be unlikely to cause problems in the health service. Children again have been largely exempted from hospitalisation or critical care. As usual, only those children with serious comorbidities, obesity or severe neurological markers are at any appreciable risk.
“What matters is the burden of patient hospitalisation and critical care and actually there hasn’t been as much with this Delta variant,” she said. “They tend to be the children who have significant comorbidities, obesity, or acute neurological problems and those children are already considered for vaccination or special attention. COVID on its own in paediatrics is not the problem.”
For the orthodoxy, these are quite devastating revelations, particularly received en masse.
And now to Indiana
Where testifying to a school board, Dr. Dan Stock, let loose with quite a fusillade of what should by now be ‘home truths’ rather than hotly contested controversies. 18 months into this, and we are receiving utter balderdash from too many global policymakers.
Dr. Stock is specially trained in immunology and has broad ranging clinical experience, and his conclusions are consistent with what all the leading clinicians who have had remarkable COVID success are saying.
He reminds us yet again, as I noted above, respiratory viruses are airborne, spread via aerosol particles. Certainly, they are small enough to go through masks. Dr. Stock quotes studies sponsored by the NIH on demonstrated lack of mask efficacy, which they now choose to ignore, having first paid for the studies.
The natural history of respiratory viruses is they circulate all year waiting for the immune system to get ill through the winter or go utterly ‘deranged’ as has happened with the vaccines and so they give rise to symptomatic diseases. They cannot be filtered out as they have animal reservoirs, therefore cannot be eliminated. Even after a century of attention, smallpox was only eliminated because there were no animal reservoirs. What we are facing instead, therefore, is the same contextual backdrop as influenza, the common cold, or other viral systems.
Dr. Stock reminds us vaccination changes none of this, especially these ‘vaccines.’ We can see the outcome, in that we are having breakouts in the middle of summer, whereas that is quite distinct from respiratory viral syndrome indicators. Essentially when you have low pathogeny (as we clearly have here globally), and the immune system is mobilised unduly for the respiratory virus, this triggers the virus to become worse than it would have with native infection.
A recent Massachusetts outbreak reported 75% of those who had C-19 positive symptoms were fully vaccinated. So, you get the infection, you shed pathogen, you just may not be as adversely symptomatic. So, if we continue this way, we will be chasing this chimera throughout our lives. The ‘vaccine’ that stressed the virus into an outbreak in the summer when Vitamin D levels are highest, is the result of the ‘nonscience’ being practiced. Early treatment with Vitamin D3, Ivermectin and Zinc, has kept people from hospital, and so unsure were the rabid panic to keep doubling down on what is failing, is flowing from, other than the mad zeal for forecasted profits.
Israeli government data from this period, shows a total percentage of cases being 15,634 fully vaccinated, 3,038 unvaccinated (86% of cases from fully vaccinated from an overall population percentage being 84% vaccinated). A granular look at UK data showcases from 1 February to 2 August, under 50, 21 deaths among those fully vaccinated, 46 among those unvaccinated. But many more ‘positive tests’ from those not vaccinated, so in percentage terms, survival rates are 99.98% vaccinated and 99.97% unvaccinated.
For those above 50, ‘partially or full vaccinated,’ 757 required overnight stay from 27,307 positive tests, leading to 460 deaths, to 98.32% survival. For those above 50, unvaccinated, 295 required overnight stay from 3,440 ‘positive tests’, with 205 deaths, and 94% survival. These are not ‘miraculous’ numbers, and do not justify frothing elation or desperate consternation.
The 5 truths
We have had the great privilege of working closely with Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the most credentialed cardiologists, COVID early treatment pioneers (with overwhelming client recovery success), and COVID peer reviewed researchers. He is also being shockingly signalled for censure and contumely via a half-witted lawsuit about how he allegedly publicly declares his affiliation with Baylor (it is so inane, it’s not worth describing). That the community of COVID medical champions, globally inspired by his ethos, have responded so overwhelmingly by rallying to his support, is heartening. The usual ‘anti Vaxx untruths’ motif is being dangled. Though the lawsuit, on the surface, has nothing to do with that.
Undeterred by desperate attempts to distract us from his message, Dr. McCullough has synthesised the essence of what he has learned through successfully treating patients since March 2020, and since being at the forefront of COVID treatment research. These are ‘5 truths’ that if taken to heart and to practice would end the ghastly, socially and economically destructive policies we’re facing (GBP 400 billion lost in the UK alone).
First, there is no asymptomatic spread. We have covered that repeatedly. But when I asked Dr. McCullough he said, “I’ve been treating since March 2020, 90% plus success in terms of no hospitalisations or deaths, I haven’t seen any asymptomatic.” Clinician after clinician of his stature we’ve asked, has confirmed the same. Focus on the symptomatic. This, by the way, is the advice now too of the WHO, Singapore, Sweden, UK inclining there as per their comments, the free US States and more.
Second, stop testing symptomless people, it creates ‘false positives’, faux ‘cases’ and unnecessary concerns. No routine testing of anyone asymptomatic, particularly as the PCR tests are highly suspect, are unreliable, and cannot by themselves confer a ‘diagnosis’ and they have been abused for too long (their EUA was ‘only’ for testing the symptomatic, not mass testing the asymptomatic).
Third, natural immunity, is robust, complete and durable. It cannot be and is not improved by vaccination or any other method. A person who develops immunity post-COVID is at minimal risk of becoming seriously ill again from COVID. What apparent cases of that kind ‘have’ been reported, they have not held up, virtually all from a misrepresentation of the test procedure.
Even with loosely defined cases, 11 studies involving 650,000 individuals showed a long-term recurrence rate of only 0.2%.
Fourth, no matter the variant, C-19 is easily treatable at home for the small number who develop symptoms with simple, available drugs. So, the only way to end up in hospital and be at serious risk is if you receive no early treatment. We have a pandemic of the lack of early treatment left now.
Fifth, the current COVID vaccines – AstraZeneca, J&J, Pfizer, and Moderna are now obsolete. They do not cover the new variants. Patients are being hospitalised and getting sick, despite them. And because of the record levels of deaths and injuries reported after them, they should be considered ‘unsafe and unfit’ for use. Even in Germany the number of adverse effects is leading the Federation of Pathologists to urge for more autopsies in the wake of vaccination, to assess the cause-and-effect link.
This follows Dr. Peter Schirmacher, acting Chairman of the German Society of Pathology, who performed autopsies on 40 people who had died within two weeks of taking ‘the jab.’ He said 30-40% could be directly attributed to rare but serious side adverse effects from the vaccine such as a blood clot in the brain, or autoimmune disease. He believes many cases go undetected as doctors just do not make the link with the vaccine, and never explicitly test for a connection.
Back home
I read yet another expert fulminating here in the local press, and I found myself shaking my head at the intemperate inaccuracy of the message, much as I salute the concern for life expressed.
Essentially, ‘food vs oxygen.’ Well, if you have no food he asserted, someone will give it to you. Ah, the blithe disdain of the comfortably fed, instructing the hunger pangs and fear of poverty for those at the extremity having been pummelled with bouts of savage yet silly lockdowns, that a bit of ‘begging’ is good for the soul. But if we have no oxygen, it continues, we are dead. Quite a remarkable discovery.
He goes on to say that Delta is so infectious that if we even take our mask off for five minutes, we can be infected.
Let me finish by yet again restating that none of this will do for practical guidance. This is not a one-time ‘two weeks’ of forage and survive. We subjected the public to months of 24/7 curfew, then recurring lockdowns, and recently another pointless extended period, though mercifully with far less restrictions. But for too many industries, SMEs and the daily wage worker, the horror was unabated. The Lanka economy is not a starving man needing crumbs of food and we have already ‘borrowed’ and petitioned everywhere we possibly could, and to so blithely ‘prescribe’ the further erosion of our solvency and national viability is unfortunate.
Sweden in Delta summer, with 9% mask compliance, and barely 40% vaccination has had virtually no deaths. India with early treatment, crushed their own surge and as per antibodies has close to 70% immunity above age six. US States have ‘surging’ positive tests and nominal deaths. Even Israel and the UK, including post UK’s ‘Freedom Day’, have no excess mortality.
Getting ‘infected’ does not mean ‘needing oxygen,’ (overwhelming recovery percentage anyway) though clearly the US States with no mask mandates like South Dakota or Florida or again Sweden or swathes of India where the compliance is dubious, are not exploding with unrestrained deaths either. And those early treatment protocols, the Chetty protocol I’ve mentioned, with over 6,000 seriously ill who never graduated to needing oxygen, is awaiting our attention.
So, how about we eat and breathe, both? A world-class country can aspire to that and more.
