In the US about one-third of us are completely unvaxxed. That's quite a control group and sooner or later people will start noticing that we aren't dropping dead. Not so for much of the rest of the West where vax rates are closer to 90%.

Some day it's going to make a very interesting case study as to why so many Americans refused to get vaxxed despite constant fear mongering, peer pressure, social exclusion, and threats of job loss. Either we are fiercely independent or just belligerent a-holes. Probably some of both.

Edit: Just saw a plot over on Igor's site that showed the US percentage of at least one shot as high-70's which is higher than I've see elsewhere. Not sure what the actual number is but clearly it's lower than most western countries.

Is there cash hidden behind that Gates propaganda book that the idiot WHO guy is holding up?

And am I the only one who thinks that Big Pharma is salivating at the prospect of treating all the "vaccine's" side effects (improperly attributable to "long Covid") with existing and future drugs?

my cousin just announced her family (all shotted up and boosted to the extreme) will be missing Easter bc they all have COVID. for the THIRD TIME. I guess it would have been worse if they hadn't taken shots like they were easter candy or something.

There are no super-duper RCTs showing that IVM or Hydroxychloroquine work, but anyone with eyes open know they do. Likewise, if you're in contact with real people and listen to honest docs who treat long covid and who've had long covid - Robert Malone, Bruce Patterson, Dr. Yo to name a few - you know that long covid is real, terrible, and not so rare. I'm a medical practitioner and see it too much - in unvaxxed too - to dismiss it as imagined. We know that "long vaccine" is real, it flies in the face of reality to deny long covid and does a disservice to those who suffer from it.

Unvaxxed, had covid. Took 6 weeks to get over all the symptoms. That's technically long covid, I suppose. Thing is, I've had in the past a flu- induced bronchitis that lasted just as long. No one gave a damn back then and I don't give a damn now. Viral illnesses can last a while, that's just the way it is.

Agree to an extent. I had covid March 2021. Lost taste and smell. Not vaccinated. Smell and taste changed to horrid distortion September 2021. I have long covid. It is real and I would not wish this on my worst enemy.

"To know what they're going to cover up, look at what they're warning about" is a useful adjunct to the well-established principles that "the truth is generally the opposite of what they say" and "to know what they're guilty of, listen to what they're accusing others of."

As an aside, it's fascinating how the Internet hive mind adapts to the pervasive dishonesty of regime media by developing a detailed epistemology of official misinformation campaigns.

Long covid is absolutely a thing.

its just not THE thing for everyone. my friend highly isolated her children, and only let them back into school when the shot was available in Nov 2021. By mid Dec, her son had to be taken out of school due to excessive vomiting. He was diagnosed with POTS and will be on statins the rest of his life (he's 11). She was so confused when her doc blamed Covid. He was tested all the time (his grandmother was really sick during the pandemic so they were very paranoid), and when he went back to school, his mom still tested all the time. All negative. So, the most logical explanation is the shot. She told me about all this, disbelief in her voice, yet she agreed with her doc. To believe it was the shot is to acknowledge that you damaged your child. It's a sad place to be in.

And the governments are gearing up for the big lie.

On March 9, the CA Senate Health Committee heard a talk on the effects of Long Covid (see the agenda for that day for more info). In the supplementation documentation on their website, there are quotes from the American Heart Association warning of a huge increase in childhood heart attacks due to indirect contact with Covid. WTAF. There is also a Senate bill to increase childhood MRI access for cardiac issues. we live in a horrible clown world.

Happy Easter. Looking forward to your analysis.

There might be one study that won't be done but could shed light on the long-covid gaslighting. Look at unvaxed, i.e., never vaxed, who had a bad case of covid-19 to see if they have residual issues. It's possible that such persons were overwhelmed with spike and could have many of the same issues as vax injured. If this is the case, while it might seem to support the gaslighters, it would rather prove that the vax causes the worst of the worst covid symptoms. The correct conclusion would be to never vax, but to administer early treatment to prevent problems in the first place.

I got the Pfe vaccines because doing so was the only way I could see my parents in the care facility. I deeply regret it. Maybe it is coincidence, but since last March, I have had one upper respiratory virus after another. (And CoVid.) After decades of having MAYBE one per annum.

I think that not only did the vaccine NOT lead to lasting immunity to Sars-CoVid-2, but it also compromised my immunity to other corona viruses (which cause the common cold).

thanks, gato, for all you do. i can only imagine how many hours you devote to sifting the gold out of the mountains of lies, but i'm sure grateful to you for doing it. and you still maintain your sunny disposition and wry sense of humor !

i don't know much about statistics, and i don't speak "biomed" but i learn a lot from you. you explain things well, and are far more entertaining than any statistician i've ever met.

happy easter to you, and to all the other cool cats in the room

Two questions I always ask when I hear about a case of long Covid:

"Was he/she (or were you) vaccinated?"

"Did you know a lot of vaccinated people are experiencing that regardless of whether or not they had Covid?"

Can't fight the media on this, I'm no Elon, but I can share my personal experience that among my unvaccinated family members who had Covid, none of us have persistent symptoms and in fact we all feel GREAT, with praise going to the Creator responsible for our immune systems and our faith in something greater than man and his arrogance.

"That huge wave of reported VAERS deaths that began with the introduction of the mRNA vaxxes was not caused by the vaxxes but is really okay anyway because it is such a small percentage of the number of vaxxed people who were saved by the vax."

I swear to God, this is not going to stop until the bodies choke the crematoriums and People Magazine is carrying dozens of Hollywood celebrity obituaries weekly. At that point the "Fauci and Friends" show on Fox will be canceled and he will decorate a lamppost instead.

Hmm, I wonder, how can we prevent the next pandemic? Maybe we could stop doing something?

Yeah, I saw this coming. Most of them will never admit they were wrong, even consciously to themselves, but they will have to deal with what I have termed "spiritual queasiness". If I mention anything about the latest athlete to keel over, or someone we know dropping dead, people tend to fall silent and/or rush out of the room. I cannot imagine their worry. Staring into the dark, unable to sleep. Or drugged, to shut out the fear. Well, sorry, but it's not like they weren't warned. I'm surrounded by aging hippies, and I have to wonder - when did they all start believing The Man? What happened to "Question Authority" -? They became bureaucrats and academics, and got led to the slaughter. I save my sorrow for the kids - it's the jabbing of the children that gets me. God help them.

I have a feeling late 2022/early 2023 is going to get rather uncomfortable narrative-wise for us suspiciously healthy unvaccinated. They'll blame their sickliness on us. Buckle up kitties, it's going to get a bit bumpy.
