Don't forget to factor in Vitamin D levels. They tend to be low in general in populations in more northern countries, but particularly low in those dark skinned who live in northern countries.
It wouldn't be a constant throughout-vitamin D3 levels rise from sun exposure between late April and mid-October in northern latitudes. Vitamin D is fat soluble so adequate stores would last a few months until December. The peak insufficiency in vitamin D3 levels is from December until May basically.
Wouldn't that depend on where (ie, how far north?) one lives? My research into this has said sun exposure from pretty much mid June to mid September (and even only a few hours a day) produces rise in D levels.
Absolutely. I am in Montreal so I am at a lower latitude than people in the UK so I was going with my latitude of 45°. I think London is at 51°. It makes a difference of months. So for this article you are right, it would be a longer period of vitamin D3 deficiency for UK residents. https://www.grassrootshealth.net/document/sunshine-calendar/
It would explain it if a large portion of the population started on Vit D after that correlation became more wildly known. Hospitals & nursing homes change protocols, etc.
i wondered about this, especially when the virologists on This Week in Virology (TWIV) got all social justicey and started to proclaim that racial disparities in outcomes were due solely to "systemic racism" and not to other issues. in fact they actually said that the claim of lower vitamin D levels in black people was "egregious."
but i don't recall anyone ever claiming that sickle cell anemia disparities were due to systemic racism. why does that condition get a pass? probably because they can't stretch it's origins, no matter how hard they try, to include american slavery.
I don't get scientists who are supposed to be EVIDENCE BASED stick their toes into the abstract social justice realm. It's waaaay past their wheel house.
I stopped listening to TWIV because I sensed they were sympathetic to that nonsense. No time for science that doesn't stick to science and facts.
I will say this. Dr. Racaniello said in May of 2020 pouring money into vaccines was going to be a waste and that investing in anti-virals would have rendered a better return and results.
The very idea that "the science is settled" is anti-scientific. And a lot of these mantras and social justice aspects sound more like a religion, or a cult, than science.
I vote for cult. When you have "scientists" who alter/lie about data (University of East Anglia/IPCC for "global warming"), ignore data (CDC and VAERS reporting) or ghost/gaslight people who ask for accountability and honest, truthful answers - I'd say cult is a good label for these types of people.
i'm not opposed to people going "outside of their wheel house." after all that claim could be leveled at us. surely you've heard this: just shut up and trust the experts. you can't do your own research.
i still listen to TWIV although to a much lesser degree. i find them too smug for words. you'll be happy to know that Racaniello has changed his mind; he now proclaims the vaccines "miracles" of modern science and why we should flood them with unrestricted tax dollars because GOF research will enable the development of more vaccines for viruses we haven't even created (oops, i mean discovered) yet to save the world
Fun fact: People with sickle cells are less likely to contract malaria. It is thought to be a genetic variation that developed due to prevalence of malaria in many regions of Africa. The slave trade is one way that these African traits ended up in the US. Sickle cell recessive trait is very common in West African adults, but not sickle cell disease. It is speculated that most African children with sickle cell disease do not survive childhood. Black Americans with Sickle Cell have a lower life expectancy, but are more likely to survive childhood
well, that's been suggested and maybe even tried. if they can just make an air borne virus that attacks people with a certain genetic ancestry, then they could target only chinese people or whoever was your enemy du jour.
there were papers early on about how this virus attacked ACE2 receptors, and the variantion of ACE2 receptor expression by race/ethnicity made some groups more vulnerable than others. I'm not saying it's eugenics, but don't discount the possibility that things are engineered to harm some more than others. That said, ACE2 isn't the only pathway for infection, maybe just primary in the original/wild strain
Yes! And I had a sneaking suspicion that it was a plan to ruin Trump's presidency! He was actually making America great again! Couldn't let that happen.
That is exactly what I was thinking when I read the article Vitamin D has shown to be such an important factor in fighting off viruses. Pre-Jab there was not much being reported by the complicit media about alternative tx. once the jab was here the media doubled down against alternatives. The press is responsible for an immense amounts of the deaths.
And the fascinating thing about Vitamin D is its relation to skin color, i.e., fair skin in the north helps to produce Vitamin D in a relatively low sunlight environment whereas the sunny climes near the equator favor darker skin to prevent burns because there is ample sunshine for healthy Vitamin D levels.
In other words, darker skinned people living in the north are much more vulnerable to corona virus than their cousins in the south and are perhaps the most at-risk group in terms of skin color. Conversely, a fair skinned person in the with lots of sunshine would likely have very high Vitamin D levels but with the downside of being more prone to sunburn.
I don't have a link handy but Bret Weinstein and some of his podcast guest have spoken at length about the issue.
Light skin *can* absorb Vitamin D more readily in northern climstes, yes, but still, that's really for about 3 months a year where i live in Canada, and less the further north you go. There's a reason those in northern countries traditionally are fish esters - and cod liver oil drinkers! (I remember being struck, early on in Covid) about a blogger, a physician I think, talking about breakfast buffets in Sweden having cod liver oil in little cups!
The above article explains pretty much what the dark horse pod cast video states. Dr. John Campbell has a very good youtube video reviewing the article, it's only about 30 minutes.
To do your study on a population of people that is hardly even affected by the disease and then to vaccinate the controls this was totally designed for us to not have clean data. Then mandating everyone get them so that they don’t have too many unvaxed to send out a crazy signal it all seems so illegal. How are our politicians and lawyers not forcing them to give us this information?
Let's see... maybe they are in on it too, perhaps? Campaign donations, other rent-seeking activities... opportunities for corruption abound in 'the system.'
1. There has been a concerted effort by the purveyors of the COVID vaxx to cover up the data that would be useful in assessing efficacy. This, in spite of the fact that the "vaccines" were labeled "experimental" from the get-go, and promises were made about assessing safety and efficacy on the fly. This kind of hanky-panky can not be described as accidental. It surely is deliberate and speaks to the existence of some truth which it is hoped will remain concealed.
2. All-cause mortality rate differences between blacks and whites are not adjusted for socio-economic factors that might differentiate these groups, so conclusions are hard to have confidence in. Were there changes in the socio-economics of the British black population in 2022? Seems unlikely, but we really have no data on whether this could be related to the dip in Black all cause mortality. Or was it that White all cause mortality actually increased relative to Blacks because more Whites had received the booster, which evidence suggests increases mortality significantly compared to getting just one or two jabs?
3. The life insurance data, which has skyrocketed since the introduction of the vaccines combined with the relative lack of increase in all-cause mortality prior to the vaccines (i.e., in 2020) is the strongest naturalistic evidence that COVID-19 was not a significant health crisis, and that the vaccines were the actual and true health health crisis, and the probable cause of the spike in the death rate which began in January 2021.
Gatito, while I do not discount your hypotheses, I think there are other factors at play that simply do not get as much attention as they deserve. This list is by no means complete, but only to generate thought and feedback:
- How likely were blacks vs whites to seek hospitalized medical care for a respiratory disease?
- What exactly was the dominant treatment protocol for blacks vs whites?
- What were key vitamin levels in blacks vs whites during the surges, and how did this affect immune system response?
- Add to the list as you think of things...
We talk about these things, but not enough. I am not sure that you could acquire the data to examine the questions posed above. However, anecdotally, I see an overall population that is unhealthy going into an immune depleted time of the year. Now apply a fear factor that leads to seeking unnecessary hospitalization, which forces a protocol that kills people. Suddenly, you have spikes in death, which in reality show nothing, but a highly dysfunctional medical system.
My apology, this is the hazard of writing blurbs in response to a treatise. I should lay groundwork first, but usually try to keep it too short. My assertions:
- What we saw in 2020 was a normal cold and flu season, exacerbated by treatment protocols that kill people (unfortunately, I think blacks as a group were generally less healthy and more prone to seek hospitalized treatment). There were simply no excess deaths in the general population, which showed up outside of the normal trend line for the last 10 years. Truth in Advertising: There is a problem with this assertion, due to the manipulation of data released from .gov, but prior to 2nd Qtr 2021 this applied.
- There is little doubt that the roll-out of the clotshots killed a BUNCH of folks, and that can be readily seen in the data.
- There is obviously a strong signal that shot recipients are getting sick at a much higher rate, but I believe this is due to immune system destruction from the shots, not necessarily pathogen mutation. This hypothesis is somewhat supported by the explosion of aggressive ailments in shot recipients.
BTW, I am tracking with everything you are saying. I guess I am framing it within the context of none of what we are seeing now being related to pathogen mutation. Go ahead, knock off IQ points...I can take it. 🐶
P.S. You could have stopped all this, if you had not slammed the child gate behind me.
That's how I'm reading Mrhounddog's argument too. El Gato's argument is that the changeover correlates with the appearance of the new Omicron variants, which it does. Mrhounddog is proposing that it correlates with a progressive destruction of the immune system of vaccinees, perhaps becoming significant about four months after the booster. Both are possible, although critical immune degradation at just that time is still hypothetical.
i've noticed something very interesting here. despite what fauci has said (the moderna vaccine was invented by a black woman so you should take it) and what biden has said (our black brothers and sisters are really taking the vaccine in great numbers), i don't think they are. i live in SC and we notice all the time that black people are invariably wearing masks even though they are are not required. the white people still wearing masks are all old and frail looking, in motorized wheelchairs, using walkers or canes and generally not in good shape.
i see pretty robust looking black people wearing masks when out walking alone, riding bikes alone, driving in their cars alone. i think they're just not getting vaccinated, lumping them in with the Tuskegee experiments and other eugenics programs and the masks are a way they believe (incorrectly) that they can protect themselves without an irreversible injection.
i'm very curious about this and always think about asking them A) if they are vaccinated and B) why are they masking still and C) if they aren't vaccinated, why not but i've never had the nerve. i'd love to make an informal poll.
i certainly wondered about this a lot. in NYC where you couldn't go to a MacDonalds without a passport, what would happen when the scrawny white minimum wage teen at the door tried to tell the large strapping black man that he could not enter to buy his fries? assuming the black guy pummeled him, would the woke newspapers list the kid's cause of death as white supremacy or covid?
and down here at the arts festival (where i was the costume director since 1980 and kicked out simply because i refused the vaccine), newly drowning in woke apologia and trying to make it up to black people for a past that it had nothing whatsoever to do with- how could they justify their draconian admittance policies (2 shots plus booster after 5 months, masks and photo ID, no children under 5 allowed) when the very mention of photo ID for voting purposes- arguably more important than attending a concert- causes a mass hissy fit among liberal democrats? it seems to me that such policies would automatically exclude a great many possible attendees of all colors, races and creeds.
in any event the governor here made such discrimination illegal in late april, not that it did much to help lagging ticket sales. the people offended that such policies ever existed remained offended that it took the force of law to overturn what never should have been policy in the first place.
I have asked a number of blacks here in a western suburb of Chicagoland (in the parking lot of grocery stores or in the check out lanes) if they bought into the jab hype (whether they are wearing a face diaper or not) - many tell me they did not buy into it - I explain to them that my theory is that the goons running the sh💉t show are eugenicists at heart. Many (not all) wholeheartedly agree with me citing the Tuskegee experiment, etc. They are often more awake than the suburban “white supremicist”. So, then we may have a chance to discuss the fear factor. Then, I talk about God. You would be amazed at how much more willing the black community is to engage in discussing God’s Providence in our lives & His goodness. My experience with discussing these same issues with my white counterparts who I meet in the grocery parking lot & are wearing masks is much more defensive & not nearly as engaging. My focus now is on both black & white moms with children in tow. Because I love & care about these innocent littles & they are too young to make informed choices.
Is this too bold of me? IMO - not when Children’s TV programs
unabashedly promote these awful experimental jab(s). Our children & grands should not be the vile govts guinea pigs or jab rats.
I believe that Black Americans have the lowest vaccine uptake, for a variety of reasons. But class definitely matters, so more college educated Black folks did get vaccinated. But there is variation there too. Black alums from my university survey were only 60% vaccinated last May, and about 50% opposed mandates. Spirituality also plays into things. It was more common for me to hear White families "cocoon" themselves away from others during COVID, while Black families continued to gather with extended family, feeling that missing those moments and relationships was more harmful than getting sick. More of a "if it's my time, it's my time" sense of existentialism.
i admire your guts! as i said it's my hunch that many here haven't bought the story but i haven't directly asked anyone. one of my very long term black friends did get covid, survived and was vaccinated as soon as she was able. she did tell us that if we weren't going to get vaccinated, we'd better get used to being lonely.
i suspect the people i see on the streets don't buy it and that they are the majority.
you're doing important work. do you keep a running tab of your results? there should be some way to quantify it. maybe you'll inspire me
My best friend is a black man from Boston (now stuck in CA). We talked about this a few months back and he said it was absolutely due to history of experiments being done on the black community.
Ha! Franek, I love your sarcasm, I live in a Chicago suburb and I would not be surprised to see that here. I can't wait to get out of this state! I'm so sick of these Dummycrat policies. It feels wonderful when I visit Tennessee or Florida, it's like you're in a different world when you're around like minded people!!!!😊 Common sense is rare in blue states!😔
"Significant ethnic variations in the gene GC that encodes Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) (protein that circulates Vitamin D/metabolites in the blood) have been reported. Black people and Asians are more likely to carry the GC1F variant of this (GC) gene, which has been associated with low DBP levels, and lower synthesis and metabolism of Vitamin D (19). On the other hand, white people are more likely to carry the GC1S variant in whom higher DBP levels are generally observed (20).
It is known that darker skin in Black people and Asians can lead to a lower concentration of vitamin D in the blood as the increased melanin in their skin reduces the absorption of sunlight needed to produce vitamin D (21, 22). It is likely that lower exposure to sunlight, for example, with cultural attire, may also contribute to reduced vitamin D concentration as would more time spent indoors during lockdown.
Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of <50 nmol/L (20 ng/mL) is classified as Vitamin D deficiency in adults (23). In Europe, people from the dark-skinned ethnic background were found to be more at risk of vitamin D deficiency compared to white counterparts (22). Vitamin D deficiency has also been reported in infants, adults and pregnant women of Asian families living in the UK (24–26)."
The general state of 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in most countries is well below the 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L needed for full immune responses to the bacteria which cause post-operative infections. See Quraishi et al. 2014: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/fullarticle/1782085 .
The 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels of the Asian and Black people in the UK is far worse. Please see the graphs at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#03-uk-low. Only about 1% of Asians (from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) have over 30 ng/mL 75 nmol/L.
Please read the research articles cited at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/ for all you need to know about vitamin D. This was a global disaster before COVID-19, with influenza (would never spread as an epidemic if people supplemented vitamin D3 properly to attain at least 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L 25-hydroxyvitamin D), sepsis (would rarely occur with this level - but today it kills 10 million people a year worldwide), numerous auto-immune problems (best suppressed with higher than this level, such as with the Coimbra protocol: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/06-adv/ ) and of course COVID-19, in which those with the lowest 25-hydroxyvitamin D get more severe infections, shed more viruses, and are harmed and killed to a much greater degree.
The comorbidities you list are to a large extent caused by low 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
All sound too simple? Couldn't be true? Please read the research.
"t is known that darker skin in Black people and Asians can lead to a lower concentration of vitamin D in the blood as the increased melanin in their skin reduces the absorption of sunlight needed to produce vitamin D."
People in Africa evolved to have darker skin because more melanin protects them from the harmful effects of sun rays. People in Europe evolved to have lighter skin because less melanin cover makes them better able to make vitamin D from sunlight. As a result, black people in northern latitudes make less vitamin D than do white people, and so they have lower protection against viruses such as Corona.
The bottom line: Evolution is another example of white privilege and systemic racism!!!
“omi was a failed minor sub-mutation that had been around but was going nowhere. then, the vaccines changed the game”
Very likely. Generation time is vastly smaller and mutational rate and numbers of offspring vastly higher than in bacteria. Plus recombination in viruses is so common that the concept of a lineage with no horizontal gene transfer shouldn’t be mindlessly applied as people are always doing with these phylogenetic trees. Especially with the number of immunocompromised hosts and insufficient sterilizing immunity around that will maximize all these processes.
(Hell, even slowly evolving sexual organisms can immediately speciate as a result of polyploidy.)
Caution: Black people form only 3% of the population of the UK and are mostly in England and mostly concentrated in relatively few large cities, particularly London. Whites - 85% - are distributed more evenly across the landscape of the isles and dominate rural areas, villages and towns: they are a minority in London.
14 different criteria for assigning CoVid as cause of death have been identified in England, and other variables exist for Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland who have different health policies and recording mechanisms.
I don’t think comparing Black CoVid deaths with White in the UK is comparing like with like.
Bear in mind that in response to an FOI request last September which asked for data on number of deaths where the cause was CoVid alone with no other underlying conditions, the number given for January 2020 to September 2021 was just over 17 000, when the published figure of CoVid deaths for the period was supposedly over 140 000.
I really don’t think any meaningful analysis in which one can be confident from data about CoVid from anywhere can be made, no matter how tantalisingly the curves on graphs line up or support theories.
The only credible data is excess mortality. Even then how much excess mortality during CoVid is due to CoVid and how much to Government restrictions and second order effects? The only relatively clean data - albeit polluted with ‘vaccination’ - in that respect is Sweden which shows - not much happened out of the ordinary.
Being a business guy I wish I could contribute to the cause of parsing and understanding the data. Best I can do is cheer on the effort, learn from what's found and spread the word.
Keep plugging away as the state and Big Pharma will never willingly admit anything...
Side question on nomenclature that I’ve been wondering about. What happened to the Greek letter naming convention for COVID variants post Omicron? How come it’s BA.2 and BA.5 and not Pi & Rho?
well, we can't call it the china virus because- you know, hate crimes and Trump. what about monkeypox, marburg, ebola, the spanish flu, MERS, SARS or any of those other names that indicate a place and might spark off waves of "racism."
all the original variants had place names- the indian variant, the brazilian variant, etc until the woke insanity took over the naming process.
but what about us greeks? don't we have the right to take offense that our ancestral alphabet is being used to name terrible viruses? might not the practice spark hate crimes against people of greek origins? but i guess since western civilization came from greeks and it's cool to disparage western civilization these days, whatever hate crimes come our way are just what we deserve?
if only they made sense and used consistent logic. but no....
Data concealment will break down when it depends upon cadaver concealment. Wait for the CDC and FDA to request large budget increases for incinerators and cold storage.
Gee.... anybody know why US cardiologist appointments are booked up 6 weeks out? I wonder about oncologists. This signal is not really hard to look at... unless you absolutely don't want to know.
I don't know if it helps, but here is my real world feedback based on people I know.
In past 3/4 weeks I personally know 16 people who have had it. This is by far the most people that I know that have had it at any one time. The people in the 3 and 4x injected groups who have been affected this time are in the most risk averse category for mask wearing/social distancing etc. As far as they know they have not had covid before.
8 people 4x vxd couple of weeks illness and feeling quite unwell (over 70)
6 people 3x vxd couple of weeks illness and feeling quite unwell, (3 x 40ish, 2 x 80's, 1x late 80's)
1 teenager 3x vx
1 unvxd, unwell to similar level as above (third time of having it alpha Mar 20, delta Oct 21 and omicron Jun 22) white early 60's
I don't know any other young people who have caught it this time around even though they are attending schools/ college / events with lots of people.
None of the 16 individuals were hospitalised, all are white.
Couples seem to be catching it in pairs more this time than before. Symptoms, severity and length of illness were similar whether vx or not (other than in teenager).
It suggests that multiple injections do not provide any protection from this variant and have increased susceptibility to this variant. It does suggest that some protection was provided against earlier variants however it is also possible that there were far more precautions taken and so exposure was less.
Don't forget to factor in Vitamin D levels. They tend to be low in general in populations in more northern countries, but particularly low in those dark skinned who live in northern countries.
but this would be constant throughout.
it does not explain or even speak to the sudden change in relative rates in april 2022.
It wouldn't be a constant throughout-vitamin D3 levels rise from sun exposure between late April and mid-October in northern latitudes. Vitamin D is fat soluble so adequate stores would last a few months until December. The peak insufficiency in vitamin D3 levels is from December until May basically.
Wouldn't that depend on where (ie, how far north?) one lives? My research into this has said sun exposure from pretty much mid June to mid September (and even only a few hours a day) produces rise in D levels.

Absolutely. I am in Montreal so I am at a lower latitude than people in the UK so I was going with my latitude of 45°. I think London is at 51°. It makes a difference of months.

Assuming people expose themselves sufficiently to the sun without sunscreen
This is English data so we can assume they live in England.
Thank you
Rates of death? I agree. I was only commenting on why the rates were so high in dark skinned people to begin with.
It would explain it if a large portion of the population started on Vit D after that correlation became more wildly known. Hospitals & nursing homes change protocols, etc.
it would explain the sudden change if the weather in april was inviting people to get out and be exposed to the sun.
It's worth mentioning that we had a pretty cloudy and wet spring in the UK.

He saw the likelihood of success was low.

I stopped listening to TWIV when they said, "Tony is a great guy."
Swell, stand-up guy experimenting on babies and beagles. Clueless people.

Yes I know all that but the point is no one says that the reason blacks have more sickle cell anemia than white people is because of systemic racism
Wouldn't that be something? If "scientists" could make a virus more deadly in some races but not others! Racist virus!
well, that's been suggested and maybe even tried. if they can just make an air borne virus that attacks people with a certain genetic ancestry, then they could target only chinese people or whoever was your enemy du jour.
isn't that sick?
So evil!

Oops - I didn't read this before posting my comment making the exact point.
To do your study on a population of people that is hardly even affected by the disease and then to vaccinate the controls this was totally designed for us to not have clean data. Then mandating everyone get them so that they don’t have too many unvaxed to send out a crazy signal it all seems so illegal. How are our politicians and lawyers not forcing them to give us this information?
Let's see... maybe they are in on it too, perhaps? Campaign donations, other rent-seeking activities... opportunities for corruption abound in 'the system.'
A few things are indisputable:
1. There has been a concerted effort by the purveyors of the COVID vaxx to cover up the data that would be useful in assessing efficacy. This, in spite of the fact that the "vaccines" were labeled "experimental" from the get-go, and promises were made about assessing safety and efficacy on the fly. This kind of hanky-panky can not be described as accidental. It surely is deliberate and speaks to the existence of some truth which it is hoped will remain concealed.

Or was it that White all cause mortality actually increased relative to Blacks because more Whites had received the booster, which evidence suggests increases mortality significantly compared to getting just one or two jabs?
3. The life insurance data, which has skyrocketed since the introduction of the vaccines combined with the relative lack of increase in all-cause mortality prior to the vaccines (i.e., in 2020) is the strongest naturalistic evidence that COVID-19 was not a significant health crisis, and that the vaccines were the actual and true health health crisis, and the probable cause of the spike in the death rate which began in January 2021.
Much quackery afoot with the “safe and effective” quackcines. (Oh, they were effective all right!)
Gatito, while I do not discount your hypotheses, I think there are other factors at play that simply do not get as much attention as they deserve. This list is by no means complete, but only to generate thought and feedback:
- How likely were blacks vs whites to seek hospitalized medical care for a respiratory disease?
- What exactly was the dominant treatment protocol for blacks vs whites?
- What were key vitamin levels in blacks vs whites during the surges, and how did this affect immune system response?
- Add to the list as you think of things...
We talk about these things, but not enough. I am not sure that you could acquire the data to examine the questions posed above. However, anecdotally, I see an overall population that is unhealthy going into an immune depleted time of the year. Now apply a fear factor that leads to seeking unnecessary hospitalization, which forces a protocol that kills people. Suddenly, you have spikes in death, which in reality show nothing, but a highly dysfunctional medical system.
Whew, I have not had enough coffee.
the benefit of using all cause death is that we do not need to know those things.
it inherently captures all mortality effects.
it looks to me like something changes on a relative basis and did so abruptly in quite a short timeframe.
and most external issues (demographics, risk factors, vitamin d deficiency, hospital choices, etc) would not have shifted like that.
you seem focused on "why did disparity exist?" but that's not the focus of the piece.
the key question is why did so much relative change occur in such a brief time.
My apology, this is the hazard of writing blurbs in response to a treatise. I should lay groundwork first, but usually try to keep it too short. My assertions:
- What we saw in 2020 was a normal cold and flu season, exacerbated by treatment protocols that kill people (unfortunately, I think blacks as a group were generally less healthy and more prone to seek hospitalized treatment). There were simply no excess deaths in the general population, which showed up outside of the normal trend line for the last 10 years. Truth in Advertising: There is a problem with this assertion, due to the manipulation of data released from .gov, but prior to 2nd Qtr 2021 this applied.
- There is little doubt that the roll-out of the clotshots killed a BUNCH of folks, and that can be readily seen in the data.
- There is obviously a strong signal that shot recipients are getting sick at a much higher rate, but I believe this is due to immune system destruction from the shots, not necessarily pathogen mutation. This hypothesis is somewhat supported by the explosion of aggressive ailments in shot recipients.
BTW, I am tracking with everything you are saying. I guess I am framing it within the context of none of what we are seeing now being related to pathogen mutation. Go ahead, knock off IQ points...I can take it. 🐶
P.S. You could have stopped all this, if you had not slammed the child gate behind me.
i still think you're missing the key conclusion:
something very significant happened in april 2022.
this was not a time of high vaxx dosing.
but it was a time of a new variant suddenly taking over.
so why, in your hypothesis of "immune destruction not pathogen mutation" does it manifest at that specific time?
...or consider "Pathogen Mutation interacting with Immune Destruction."
[I put the Capitals in just for fun.]
That's how I'm reading Mrhounddog's argument too. El Gato's argument is that the changeover correlates with the appearance of the new Omicron variants, which it does. Mrhounddog is proposing that it correlates with a progressive destruction of the immune system of vaccinees, perhaps becoming significant about four months after the booster. Both are possible, although critical immune degradation at just that time is still hypothetical.
Please be aware that the Black UK cohort is materially different from the Black US cohort.
i've noticed something very interesting here. despite what fauci has said (the moderna vaccine was invented by a black woman so you should take it) and what biden has said (our black brothers and sisters are really taking the vaccine in great numbers), i don't think they are. i live in SC and we notice all the time that black people are invariably wearing masks even though they are are not required. the white people still wearing masks are all old and frail looking, in motorized wheelchairs, using walkers or canes and generally not in good shape.
i see pretty robust looking black people wearing masks when out walking alone, riding bikes alone, driving in their cars alone. i think they're just not getting vaccinated, lumping them in with the Tuskegee experiments and other eugenics programs and the masks are a way they believe (incorrectly) that they can protect themselves without an irreversible injection.
i'm very curious about this and always think about asking them A) if they are vaccinated and B) why are they masking still and C) if they aren't vaccinated, why not but i've never had the nerve. i'd love to make an informal poll.
i certainly wondered about this a lot. in NYC where you couldn't go to a MacDonalds without a passport, what would happen when the scrawny white minimum wage teen at the door tried to tell the large strapping black man that he could not enter to buy his fries? assuming the black guy pummeled him, would the woke newspapers list the kid's cause of death as white supremacy or covid?
and down here at the arts festival (where i was the costume director since 1980 and kicked out simply because i refused the vaccine), newly drowning in woke apologia and trying to make it up to black people for a past that it had nothing whatsoever to do with- how could they justify their draconian admittance policies (2 shots plus booster after 5 months, masks and photo ID, no children under 5 allowed) when the very mention of photo ID for voting purposes- arguably more important than attending a concert- causes a mass hissy fit among liberal democrats? it seems to me that such policies would automatically exclude a great many possible attendees of all colors, races and creeds.
in any event the governor here made such discrimination illegal in late april, not that it did much to help lagging ticket sales. the people offended that such policies ever existed remained offended that it took the force of law to overturn what never should have been policy in the first place.
I have asked a number of blacks here in a western suburb of Chicagoland (in the parking lot of grocery stores or in the check out lanes) if they bought into the jab hype (whether they are wearing a face diaper or not) - many tell me they did not buy into it - I explain to them that my theory is that the goons running the sh💉t show are eugenicists at heart. Many (not all) wholeheartedly agree with me citing the Tuskegee experiment, etc. They are often more awake than the suburban “white supremicist”. So, then we may have a chance to discuss the fear factor. Then, I talk about God. You would be amazed at how much more willing the black community is to engage in discussing God’s Providence in our lives & His goodness. My experience with discussing these same issues with my white counterparts who I meet in the grocery parking lot & are wearing masks is much more defensive & not nearly as engaging. My focus now is on both black & white moms with children in tow. Because I love & care about these innocent littles & they are too young to make informed choices.
Is this too bold of me? IMO - not when Children’s TV programs
unabashedly promote these awful experimental jab(s). Our children & grands should not be the vile govts guinea pigs or jab rats.
I believe that Black Americans have the lowest vaccine uptake, for a variety of reasons. But class definitely matters, so more college educated Black folks did get vaccinated. But there is variation there too. Black alums from my university survey were only 60% vaccinated last May, and about 50% opposed mandates. Spirituality also plays into things. It was more common for me to hear White families "cocoon" themselves away from others during COVID, while Black families continued to gather with extended family, feeling that missing those moments and relationships was more harmful than getting sick. More of a "if it's my time, it's my time" sense of existentialism.
Yep. No one here gets out alive! It’s nice to live life.
generally, oppressed people are more awake than those doing the oppressing or unaware or ignorant that oppression is taking or has taken place
i admire your guts! as i said it's my hunch that many here haven't bought the story but i haven't directly asked anyone. one of my very long term black friends did get covid, survived and was vaccinated as soon as she was able. she did tell us that if we weren't going to get vaccinated, we'd better get used to being lonely.
i suspect the people i see on the streets don't buy it and that they are the majority.
you're doing important work. do you keep a running tab of your results? there should be some way to quantify it. maybe you'll inspire me
My best friend is a black man from Boston (now stuck in CA). We talked about this a few months back and he said it was absolutely due to history of experiments being done on the black community.
it's good if you can learn from history. most people right now seem to have forgotten even very recent history, like pfizer's fines for fraud
In democrat run places this fall you might need a vax passport and photo id to get into the polling place in order to vote without an ID.
Or just stuff a mail in ballot box.
Ha! Franek, I love your sarcasm, I live in a Chicago suburb and I would not be surprised to see that here. I can't wait to get out of this state! I'm so sick of these Dummycrat policies. It feels wonderful when I visit Tennessee or Florida, it's like you're in a different world when you're around like minded people!!!!😊 Common sense is rare in blue states!😔
ugh, that would be horrible but i wouldn't put it past them
This article is a good intro to vitamin D deficiency in minorities.
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2020.613462/full
"Significant ethnic variations in the gene GC that encodes Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) (protein that circulates Vitamin D/metabolites in the blood) have been reported. Black people and Asians are more likely to carry the GC1F variant of this (GC) gene, which has been associated with low DBP levels, and lower synthesis and metabolism of Vitamin D (19). On the other hand, white people are more likely to carry the GC1S variant in whom higher DBP levels are generally observed (20).
It is known that darker skin in Black people and Asians can lead to a lower concentration of vitamin D in the blood as the increased melanin in their skin reduces the absorption of sunlight needed to produce vitamin D (21, 22). It is likely that lower exposure to sunlight, for example, with cultural attire, may also contribute to reduced vitamin D concentration as would more time spent indoors during lockdown.
Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of <50 nmol/L (20 ng/mL) is classified as Vitamin D deficiency in adults (23). In Europe, people from the dark-skinned ethnic background were found to be more at risk of vitamin D deficiency compared to white counterparts (22). Vitamin D deficiency has also been reported in infants, adults and pregnant women of Asian families living in the UK (24–26)."
The general state of 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in most countries is well below the 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L needed for full immune responses to the bacteria which cause post-operative infections. See Quraishi et al. 2014: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/fullarticle/1782085 .
The 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels of the Asian and Black people in the UK is far worse. Please see the graphs at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#03-uk-low. Only about 1% of Asians (from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) have over 30 ng/mL 75 nmol/L.
Please read the research articles cited at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/ for all you need to know about vitamin D. This was a global disaster before COVID-19, with influenza (would never spread as an epidemic if people supplemented vitamin D3 properly to attain at least 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L 25-hydroxyvitamin D), sepsis (would rarely occur with this level - but today it kills 10 million people a year worldwide), numerous auto-immune problems (best suppressed with higher than this level, such as with the Coimbra protocol: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/06-adv/ ) and of course COVID-19, in which those with the lowest 25-hydroxyvitamin D get more severe infections, shed more viruses, and are harmed and killed to a much greater degree.
The comorbidities you list are to a large extent caused by low 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
All sound too simple? Couldn't be true? Please read the research.
"t is known that darker skin in Black people and Asians can lead to a lower concentration of vitamin D in the blood as the increased melanin in their skin reduces the absorption of sunlight needed to produce vitamin D."
People in Africa evolved to have darker skin because more melanin protects them from the harmful effects of sun rays. People in Europe evolved to have lighter skin because less melanin cover makes them better able to make vitamin D from sunlight. As a result, black people in northern latitudes make less vitamin D than do white people, and so they have lower protection against viruses such as Corona.
The bottom line: Evolution is another example of white privilege and systemic racism!!!
“omi was a failed minor sub-mutation that had been around but was going nowhere. then, the vaccines changed the game”
Very likely. Generation time is vastly smaller and mutational rate and numbers of offspring vastly higher than in bacteria. Plus recombination in viruses is so common that the concept of a lineage with no horizontal gene transfer shouldn’t be mindlessly applied as people are always doing with these phylogenetic trees. Especially with the number of immunocompromised hosts and insufficient sterilizing immunity around that will maximize all these processes.
(Hell, even slowly evolving sexual organisms can immediately speciate as a result of polyploidy.)
Yup
and there's convergent evolution in play here as well. I think we're going to see a lot of intertwining of twigs, from different branches, in the bush
that's a whole new set of forces by virtue of selection diversification for transmission advantage - vaxx driven or not.
Caution: Black people form only 3% of the population of the UK and are mostly in England and mostly concentrated in relatively few large cities, particularly London. Whites - 85% - are distributed more evenly across the landscape of the isles and dominate rural areas, villages and towns: they are a minority in London.
14 different criteria for assigning CoVid as cause of death have been identified in England, and other variables exist for Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland who have different health policies and recording mechanisms.
I don’t think comparing Black CoVid deaths with White in the UK is comparing like with like.
Bear in mind that in response to an FOI request last September which asked for data on number of deaths where the cause was CoVid alone with no other underlying conditions, the number given for January 2020 to September 2021 was just over 17 000, when the published figure of CoVid deaths for the period was supposedly over 140 000.
I really don’t think any meaningful analysis in which one can be confident from data about CoVid from anywhere can be made, no matter how tantalisingly the curves on graphs line up or support theories.
The only credible data is excess mortality. Even then how much excess mortality during CoVid is due to CoVid and how much to Government restrictions and second order effects? The only relatively clean data - albeit polluted with ‘vaccination’ - in that respect is Sweden which shows - not much happened out of the ordinary.
if they count the deaths correctly, it's really a flu with a great PR campaign
Yes indeed - without CoVid - it would just have been another bad ‘flu season which we get every few years.
And most of those who died supposedly of CoVid, would have died anyway from ‘flu or pneumonia.
the bad cat is using all cause mortality data. whether the death was covid or not doesn't matter.
Being a business guy I wish I could contribute to the cause of parsing and understanding the data. Best I can do is cheer on the effort, learn from what's found and spread the word.
Keep plugging away as the state and Big Pharma will never willingly admit anything...
Side question on nomenclature that I’ve been wondering about. What happened to the Greek letter naming convention for COVID variants post Omicron? How come it’s BA.2 and BA.5 and not Pi & Rho?
well, we can't call it the china virus because- you know, hate crimes and Trump. what about monkeypox, marburg, ebola, the spanish flu, MERS, SARS or any of those other names that indicate a place and might spark off waves of "racism."
all the original variants had place names- the indian variant, the brazilian variant, etc until the woke insanity took over the naming process.
but what about us greeks? don't we have the right to take offense that our ancestral alphabet is being used to name terrible viruses? might not the practice spark hate crimes against people of greek origins? but i guess since western civilization came from greeks and it's cool to disparage western civilization these days, whatever hate crimes come our way are just what we deserve?
if only they made sense and used consistent logic. but no....
They couldn’t risk getting a variant named Xi.
Any illusion of benefit credited to the bio weapon injections is by the data kicking the non-up-to-date vaccinees into the unvaccinated categories
i already accounted for than and was still finding meaningful VE vs delta (though far lower than they claimed) (linked above)
the question is whether this is still the case with omi.
Data concealment will break down when it depends upon cadaver concealment. Wait for the CDC and FDA to request large budget increases for incinerators and cold storage.
"ways to get at better data"

Gee.... anybody know why US cardiologist appointments are booked up 6 weeks out? I wonder about oncologists. This signal is not really hard to look at... unless you absolutely don't want to know.
Ignorance is bliss has replaced e pluribus unum.
I don't know if it helps, but here is my real world feedback based on people I know.
In past 3/4 weeks I personally know 16 people who have had it. This is by far the most people that I know that have had it at any one time. The people in the 3 and 4x injected groups who have been affected this time are in the most risk averse category for mask wearing/social distancing etc. As far as they know they have not had covid before.
8 people 4x vxd couple of weeks illness and feeling quite unwell (over 70)
6 people 3x vxd couple of weeks illness and feeling quite unwell, (3 x 40ish, 2 x 80's, 1x late 80's)
1 teenager 3x vx
1 unvxd, unwell to similar level as above (third time of having it alpha Mar 20, delta Oct 21 and omicron Jun 22) white early 60's
I don't know any other young people who have caught it this time around even though they are attending schools/ college / events with lots of people.
None of the 16 individuals were hospitalised, all are white.
Couples seem to be catching it in pairs more this time than before. Symptoms, severity and length of illness were similar whether vx or not (other than in teenager).
It suggests that multiple injections do not provide any protection from this variant and have increased susceptibility to this variant. It does suggest that some protection was provided against earlier variants however it is also possible that there were far more precautions taken and so exposure was less.
Step by step, Gato is pushing the bottle to the edge of the table. The three-letter hoomans keep trying to prevent the fall, but it’s coming.
