You're going to have to change your name to El Gato Fantastico if you keep this up! Good job you! Definitely earning your Greenies.

fda has ignored the panel b4!

waiting for der fuhrer to mandate boosters bc "science"!

the eua and pfizer's "approval" were based on poorly designed experiments and the concept that danger had to be proven rather than safety.....

Gummi Bear still misses you on Twitter! Do you ever look at Ethical Skeptic? He was always a little over my head but I could tell that he definitely felt like nefarious things were taking place with our Covid response. He has not made a Twitter comment since like August 12. Has he been removed also?

Hope you don’t mind me asking, how old are you, Ed? Given what I have read from Gato and a few others, whose work I trust, I am not going near these therapeutics. Given my personal risk/benefit and the obvious global plot to control us through QR code’s/passports, I will stay with the resistance. I fully expect this to get much uglier this winter in my globalist dystopia of Canada. My guess is they ban the unvaxxed from everything. Even if this is isn’t a global plot to kick start the great reset, politicians, unelected public health administrators and corrupt MSM will continue to double down on the therapeutic needles. This is not about a virus & is obvious because none of this passes the smell test.

Thanks for this: has anyone see any info about these hospital admissions in florida? I cant find any details . Are alot of people ending up in ICUs and dying or are a lot of the admissions just because people are panicking and these patients could have been managed at home with no problem

Also this whole issue of variants is so frustrating . The genetic sequences of these variants are so similar that it is really irrelevant. I saw a study sonehwere that thay vary in sequence homology by 1-2% or even much less.

Even the world “variant” is propagandistic. These Strains are so similar that the vaccine or natural infection immunity should be more than adequate to protect against all of them at this point. And these spikes that we’re seeing in Florida seem like they are just part of the normal seasonal spike that we see in the southern United States every year. I was wondering Mr. Gato if you had any info on these issues

This is why I want support your content. You go where the data takes you.

There's a soupçon of vindication, too -- congratulations.

I would love to get your opinion on this article. It seems to do a good job of explaining the inconsistencies in the government's responses--which you have so ably highlighted.

El Gato. Why does FDA committee refer to Comirnaty? This is not available. So this is nonsense. Sleight of hand regarding existing Pfizer shots and Cominarty continues.

Gato, have you looked into some of the data on child vaccines and myocarditis? Because that's what's going to happen in November. And my worry is that they are going to let those 5-11 vaccines in, which will be immediately mandated on our children.

I know David Wiseman fairly well. He is a dedicated scientist.

Speaking of the Israel death wave, I had given up on finding anything useful from the Ministry of Health dashboard after they recategorized who is and isn't "vaccinated," but I was being too pessimistic. They are now dividing deaths by vaccination status on the dashboard, and the new definitions for vaccination status are given in the user guide, so it's somewhat workable data. https://datadashboard.health.gov.il/COVID-19/general

Per user guide:

-"Unvaccinated": 0 doses

-"Partially": +7 days 1 dose - <7 days 3 dose

-"Fully": +7 days 3 dose

(presumably <7 days 1 dose are in "unvaccinated," but the guide is not explicit)

Since July 31:

-Very few deaths under 60 in absolute counts. (Despite the fact that unvaccinated 40 - 59 year-olds were a driver in hospitalizations throughout July). So only what is happening to the over 60 group seems interesting at first. (That said, ~40 "unvaccinated, ~16 "partial", 1 boosted for under 60s.)

-Immediate jump to 8 daily deaths for "partially vaccinated" over 60 on July 31 (Deaths daily + Absolute number + Over 60), which settles into a sustained daily rate in the low 10s throughout August. No curve. This “flat surge” amounts to something in the low 400s when it subsides after first week of September.

-Whereas, for the "unvaccinated" over 60, deaths are a curve, in line with the overall wave.

-3rd dose administration rate plummets on September 1.

-This pattern suddenly renders the absolute daily deaths for under 60s interesting: daily deaths for Partially" also is flat and steady, and "Unvaccinated" more like a curve, though you really have to squint to see it.

-Without a breakdown of the heterogenous "partially" group, attributing the "flat surge" in August to the "<7 days 3rd dosed" sub-group is perilous. But what other explanation for the flat pattern in the middle of a wave, than the influence of the steady booster roll-out? Additionally, per-100k new and active severe illness rates for "partially" over 60 go down after August 30; though there is a selection bias for this group since currently infected are not leaving the group via boosting through August. A "partially vaccinated, not previously infected" graph might not show a drop.

-Reconciling this attribution with https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.08.27.21262679 raises very interesting questions. The study is garbage, but it still sticks out that infection and severe outcome counts are *not reported* for subjects in the 12 day post- 3rd-dose window. Reverse-calculating infections from the infection efficacy and person-days values implies ~3500 infections in the 12 day window, almost same as the “2nd only” value. But no way to figure how many were severe. The study also doesn’t report deaths. But to take the garbage study at its word, there were fewer per-capita infections in the days after booster.

-The implication of all the above wild assumptions would be that despite fewer per-capita infections in the 7 day window, deaths per infection shot way up. The question is whether these were even really deaths resulting from post-booster “infection,” or merely deaths *following* rare (on a per-capita rate) 7 day window positive tests.

If post-booster infection deaths are no longer residing, the deaths wave should stay flat for quite a while going forward given that the unvaccinated infection rate is currently at a “steady peak”, and most “partially” vaccinated should be done transitioning in “infection efficacy” status and “booster” status at this point.

I wish you hadnt said that. This post will get forwarded to the media (not by me) or someone will catch wind of it and the narrative will be like: "Did the FDA official who said the virus may be spreading more potently from the vaccinated...get his info from a Substack anti-vaxxer? It seems so, a Substack known as El Gato Malo, which means the Bad Cat in Spanish, actually bragged about it on a post to his followers on Sunday. Now it is worth noting that El Gato Malo is notorious for spreading fake vaccine data and information and was kicked off Twitter for it. But the fact that someone from the FDA is reading this Substack and touting it as science raises questions not only about how disinformation is spread through new social media platforms, but also how difficult it is for the authorities to stop it. Bad kitty." -- So they'd defame the FDA guy AND go after Substack all at once.
