Obviously heavily vaccinated Americans are the reason that South Africans have mild disease.

You are closest, I'd say. When you combine large numbers of people having average, or even superior intelligence, but demand that they adhere to, or they voluntarily believe, theories and concepts that have little to no basis in objective reality, you in essence have the combination.

Yes: CoVid = Coronavirus disease. 10% of Common Cold infections are from coronaviruses, thus some Common Colds = coronavirus disease = CoVid. Simples.

As a GENERAL RULE, when a person writes frequently with ALL CAPS, that person is a FANATIC.

I only vaguely remember this Chise person from my time on Twitter but, unless this is satire, it is the ranting of an unbalanced mind:

“Know what that means? If you’re not protected, GET PROTECTED. Get VACCINATED. Get BOOSTED (if eligible). Do not walk around without any degree of protection.”

But young healthy people are protected by a healthy immune system, and, in many cases, by natural immunity. So why would they need endless vaccinations and boosters?

chise is actually quite smart.

but she also works for moderna.

and since the vaxx launched, she's been a one woman propaganda show.

sad to see as she used to provide a lot of useful information.

Expand full comment

I’m sure she’s smart. It’s just very strange to extol vaccines and boosters and deprecate natural immunity.

Only a fraud or a fanatic would claim that those who are young and healthy are ‘walking around without any degree of protection’ from Covid, if they haven’t been vaccinated or “boosted”.

I’m in good health, and I’ve never had a moment of fear about Covid. It just doesn’t pose much risk to me, with or without vaccination. That’s obvious in the data.

Expand full comment

If she is so smart, how come she uses stupid arguments in trying to prove her point?

Expand full comment

I think because she’s essentially a shill for Moderna. That’s what the Bad Cat was implying, it seems.

Her Twitter feed is very strange, though. Very repetitive, with the all caps all the time. It reads like what one might expect from a bot, or from someone suffering from a serious psychiatric disorder.

Expand full comment

Yes! I have found Chise to be a strange account. I don’t read it all the time but never once have I read a tweet that acknowledged disappointment or a set back. It’s always “while X may look like the vaccines are failing, X is actually proof that they are doing exactly as expected.”

Always. That is always the take home message.

And now I learn the author works for Moderna. It all makes sense.

Expand full comment

Yes, and she hides all negative comments on her threads. All the time. I find it fascinating how many people are not skeptical of her account.

I had no idea you could even do that.

Yes, I prefer all small case...

This explains a lot of other things, but not the lacking quality of her arguments.

Baghdad Bob was a smart guy, too.

IINM, Ted Bundy was pretty smart if not brilliant. Smart and dishonest/evil are not mutually exclusive.

Expand full comment

Yeah, but her morality is not really discussed and the concise second line (Moderna) tells me that it’s not even open for discussion 😁. Because obviously the teams are set. Maybe she’d like to change teams and join Steve Kirsch, he put out a whistleblower opportunity. True, it was for FDA and CDC, but maybe he’ll settle.

Expand full comment

maybe she's afraid she will be 'disappeared'?

Expand full comment

Well, there's always Substack. Last night on another stack I called out a frequent poster there. Representing as a female dentist, she was making detailed knowledge claims to knowledge about patients' detailed health histories about serious health symptoms, their treatment and after-care. It occurred to me that no real-world dentist would even care, much less have access to, such information. 🙂 Now I'm brusque in my best moments, but when someone is pissing in my pocket and telling me it's raining outside, I feel obliged to call him a "liar." 😛

Maybe she’s tied up in the closet and needs help. The bots have taken over in the meantime.

Expand full comment

I better stop using caps to emphasize a word. LOL.

Expand full comment

She should look up immunity in a dictionary: the state of being immune from or insusceptible to a particular disease or the like.

Immunity means you don’t get it, mild or otherwise.

Cough, fatigue, and a runny nose... ALWAYS the most common symptoms of Covid-19. I know, I know, but no one has said it yet so allow me to be the first.

I wear my Chartruese ribbon proudly, and am actually hoping to catch MiOwnOmicron so I can collect them all, like Pokémon!

Actually, we covid survivors who remain staunchly unvaxxed, cause, why? need to be the only ones not to get any new strain 'they' release on us. Just to prove a dang point. I hope all vax mandate people get omicron, Alpha2 (The new bugaloo), and Delta Dawn (trying out sequel names once we go around the chart again...by the way, has anyone gotten bingo on their card yet?)

Expand full comment

I remember all of the past "pandemics" of my lifetime. The one that makes me chuckle is the "bird flu". I remember coworkers, if they sneezed or coughed etc, they would always just say, "I've got the bird flu". The platform for worldwide fear wasn't in place at that time so it faded after a few months. And here we are 2 years later... calling *everything* covid. Amazing!

You didn't know Kit Kat cures colds? I think The Lancet did a piece on that...

Before the evidence of Omicron being "milder", all the articles were about how the neutralizing titers in the vaccinated against Omicron were basically nil, and this of course meant "get more vaccine". But now somehow that nil Nab is the reason Omicron is mild....

I was under the impression that the vax wasn't effective against omicron hence the need for further tweaking?

I stand corrected. Bad Cat notes--from direct knowledge--that the originator of this Tweet is not only a real person, but also intelligent. Unfortunately (or expectedly) she also works for Moderna, and as such, is putting out the propaganda at a fever pitch. #Dayam

Expand full comment

How are the so-called vaccines, which target Alpha or Delta, "continuing to do their job of warding off severe illness" from Moronic? And how do we know that it's not the leaky so-called vaccines that made those vaxxed folks susceptible to Moronic in the first place?

Expand full comment

They used to call them "breakthrough" but this has been redefined to be something we've expected all along

Expand full comment

Oh, I thought "breakthrough" referred to the vaxxed becoming infected with what they were vaxxed against.

Expand full comment

I think that it does. I was just speculating they we might see yet another term redefined. Like vaccine, herd immunity, anti-vaxxer, etc.

John Campbell just released a new video on Youtube where he talks about the latest on Omicron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzrG3Odgf28. In addition to the usual scaremongering by British politicians, he embedded a message from a South African health rep, saying "Omicron is mild, majority won't need hospitalization, it last for about 5 days whether you're a child or 80 years old, whether you're vaccinated or unvaccinated, whether you suffer from other comorbidities, this is what we see..." something to that effect. It starts at about 3:50 into the video.

Now, Campbell brings up a good point: South Africa is younger than UK or the US, and there is much more natural immunity. So it will be interesting to see what happens in the UK, which he says is about 2 week ahead of the US in terms of infections. I wonder too whether we are going to see any effects of OAS and ADE due to high levels of vaccination in the UK...

Expand full comment

Fraud always in proportion to excessive emoji usage.

Expand full comment

Love it how they are so quick to praise the vax for the mildness of symptoms. And here we have South Africa which seems to be shrugging it off with about three quarters of the population unvaxxed and most likely all exposed/recovered. Gosh! Who would have thunk! But natural immunity is not REAL immunity now, is it?

Expand full comment

Haven't we realized that irrespective of what the data show, the conclusion will always be the same? Vaccines and masks are effective; we need more and more of them and they need to be mandatory, "for the common good". If "cases" go down, it is because they are working; of "cases" go up, obviously not enough people are vaccinated, boosted or wearing masks. Vaccinated people are getting sick... they need another booster, oh and we need to separate them from the unvaccinated.

Expand full comment

This was especially hilarious during the spring when some states were ditching masks. If numbers are going up in masked states, it's the fault of the minority not wearing masks! When numbers go down in unmasked states, it's because of the minority still wearing masks!

It doesn't have to make sense.

It's amazing! And I know I shouldn't be surprised, but a person would think that it would be totally obvious to the general public by now. I mean... if every single person you see is wearing a diaper and sanitizing everything around them and people are *still getting sick*, shouldn't that be a sign? You'd think a light bulb would go off in their mind. But it doesn't. Absolutely baffling.

Yes. I don't know what "side of the fence" you are. But that is precisely the point. Every disease, even a common cold, could kill someone with a broken immune system or debilitated organism. We have always lived with diseases. Should we stop socializing, close all human activlty, develop and mandate a vaccine for every disease, require everyome to walk with a mask... in order to avoid at all costs that some people die of something? Sorry, I don't see "deaths rising at an alarming rate". I see deaths rising and falling in cycles, as they have occurred for ages.

Imagine how bad omicron would've been without the vax!! Or maybe it never would've shown up. One question for Chise (who blocked me ages ago - she doesn't like uncomfortable questions): where is the data showing that omicron is mild in vaxed but not in unvaxed? Ok, 2 questions: I assume you are separating out previously infected folks when making your assumptions about vax-induced immunity - RIGHT?

Expand full comment

I swear, I know a lot of people like Chise, but I'm becoming increasingly skeptical. She says she develops vaccines - maybe so - but she also strays outside her lane and thinks she's an epidemiologist or a data analyst too. Didn't get seasonality. I'm honestly starting to think the account is planted.

I live in Utah and am disturbed beyond belief that CDC Utah has signs, in two languages, up and down I-15, along the Wasatch Front saying that the vax is now available for ages 5+. The UDOH is headed by a pediatrician and their website is filled with videos of docs, pharmacists, etc. saying how safe the vax is for kids and all the right safety studies have been done, etc. etc. etc. I want to look at fetal deaths for the last 10 years. But, when I go to the Utah dept of vital statistics website, the latest report is for 2018. I would like to compare fetal deaths from when Utah approved the jab for pregnant women. Can anyone help?

When the FDA and the CDC do not have the publics best interests in mind regarding health how are we to get back to trust? I would start with cleansing these agencies of their top management and then eliminate anyone who proclaimed support for them from the ranks. America's Top Doctors have qualified people who actually care about our (and their) health.

Get back to trust? Please.

The FDA and CDC should be abolished. Like all the other countless alphabet-soup nests of bureaucrats, they are worse than useless. They do more far harm than good and are far more concerned with their own advancement than some amorphous and subjective "public interest".

It is difficult to even estimate the numbers of people killed due to the chicanery, charlatanism and corporatism practiced by the these corrupt clowns.

How they are tolerated at all, let alone justified and even celebrated, is a study of the intersection between government propaganda and human gullibility.

To be fair, it is likely due to immunity. Innate immunity, that is. Unless of course you're following the the "new science" of big pharma where only antibodies exist (and natural killer cells, the complement system, phagocytes, tcells etc. are just fairy tales).
