1 in 2000 may sound like pretty good odds, but what if air travel in the US had that kind of safety record? According to the FAA website, there are 45,000 commercial flights per day over the US, each flight carrying an average of 64 passengers. If these flights had the same safety record as the jabs (1 in 2000 resulting in serious injury or death), we would have 22 commercial airplanes crashing EVERY DAY, some of which would kill all passengers on board, others would just maim all passengers leaving them with life changing injuries. 22 crashes a day, every day. How long would it take the FAA to shut down commercial flights so they could figure out what's going on? And how would people feel about flying with that kind of safety record?

And yet our FAA has been silent about pilots that are vaccinated, and possibly injured. I’m very thankful that there’s always two of us up front at all times.

If what I read is correct, the FDA shut down Abbot’s baby formula production and instituted a recall, after 2 cases of gastrointestinal infection. The Abbot product was cleared, but the FDA found some other non-related irregularities.

Abbot produces 40% of US baby formula and was shut down in February. A company like that could carry out a deep clean within its facilities and test raw materials within a week. It is being kept closed by the FDA whilst new procedures are agreed.

Government approval, depending on FDA clearance, has been given to import baby formula, but the foreign manufacturers will have to comply with FDA regs, which will take several months. These foreign manufacturers are in First World Countries with rigorous (but different) standards.

But the FDA has approved experimental pseudo-vaccines for 5-11 years olds, not at risk from the pathogen, proven to have a comparative statistically high incidence of serious and fatal reactions, and which other Countries have determined to decline approval for this age group as the risk exceeds the benefit.

Meanwhile American babies go undernourished and their parents suffer distress.

Now tell me money isn’t changing hands.

And wasn't there a different bacteria found in the kids than what was found at the plant?

Expand full comment

It was the same bacterium, but a different genetic sequence than what was found in the factory -- meaning it didn't come from Abbott. One of the specimens isolated *was* identical to bacterium found in a distilled water bottle in the household that had been used to prepare the formula. The other wasn't ever matched to a contamination source. And the two isolates found in the homes didn't match each other, ruling out a common source.

Why isn’t the water bottling company being investigated?

Probably because when the the contamination was detected the bottle had already been opened. We live in a forest filled with small malevolent enemies.

This is exactly the reason. If people got infected by some kind of pathogen than caused heart disease that would kill you anywhere from 1 week to 6 months after taking a flight 1 out of 2000 passengers there would be no problem.

Ooh...well, that makes sense.

Expand full comment

That depends. If the FAA said this was normal I fear the media and faithful followers of The Party would label anyone asking questions "anti-air" or "denier".

The FAA has had it's own issues with politics over science. I could go into technical detail on the dangers of some of their plans. Usually, though, the consequences are contained and/or mitigated by outside forces such as DoD. But I have seen time and time again that "science" loses to politics with the FAA. I'm sure you can think of a few yourself ;-)

The difference is that the the FAA hasn't the power to MANDATE that you travel by air. Not yet at least ;-)

I am pretty sure that was the same risk that I got from Oxfords risk calculator for covid hospitalization as a healthy middle aged man.

Good analogy. Although I'm no fan of air travel, it's a statistical fact that it is (by far) the safest form of passenger travel, with a fatality rate of something like 1 per several million miles traveled. This may be of small consolation to the poor bastard who is the statistical exception as he is plunging screaming to a fiery death, but decades of statistics bear this out. In contrast, taking the mRNA jab is might be roughly likened to to getting shitfaced drunk at the bar, blindfolding oneself, and then driving home in a car with no brakes.

I used to use this argument with jabfanatics. Their reply,"if taking the flight would mean I would be safe I would do it. Why do you think all the migrants cross the river into Texas?" or something to that effect or more dimbulby. The argument has not worn especially well for them. Now for some reason they are willing to board the plane for a chance of a few less coughs.

Wouldn't the proper analogy be to 1 in 2000 single-seat plane flights crashing?

Because the "1" in the 1 in 2000 is one person, which is not analogous to 1 plane with 64 persons in the plane.

When that "1 in 2000" adverse event occurs, it's adverse to *one* person, not to 64 persons.

(Unless that one is in the act of piloting a commercial aircraft alone, that is!)

May 18, 2022·edited May 18, 2022

the analogy is that 1 person in 2000 experienced a life changing injury or death. So if you have 45,000 airplanes flying every day, each with an average of 64 people on them, then to have the same ratio of death/serious injury as the jabs, you'd have 22 planes crashing daily. that's one plane out of every 2000 planes that fly that day. Or you could do it by the number of passengers. FAA says 2.9 million people fly every day on commercial airplanes, so if 1 person out of every 2000 that flies dies or gets seriously injured, then 1450 people would die or get seriously injured daily. If there's an average of 64 people on each flight, that's 22.6 airplanes that would have to crash to kill or maim 1450 people.

Expand full comment

The problem I see with the 1-in-2000 "death or serious injury" is that death and serious injury are not the same outcome. So we need to know what's the "1-in-X" for death, and what's the "1-in-X" for serious injury, for the vaxxes. Then also, what's the "1-in-X" for death, and what's the "1-in-X" for serious injury, for the plane crashes.

This is pure hunch, but I'm guessing you're much more likely to die if your plane crashes than you are likely to die if you get the vaxx.

Perhaps there's a better analogy, to something where the death/serious injury dichotomy is similar to whatever the vaxx death/serious injury dichotomy is.

Maybe auto accidents. Seems to me you're more likely to survive (with serious injury) a car crash than a plane crash, and it seems to me you're more likely to survive (with serious injury) the Chinese virus vaxxes than to die from them.

Expand full comment

you're totally missing the point. It's a numbers game and it's hypothetical! Of course if a plane crashes, you're more likely to die than to survive the crash. That's not the point. The point is that 22 plane crashes a day would definitely get the FAA's and the public's attention, even if half of the crashes miraculously "only" injured all the passengers instead of killing them! A few days of 22 crashes a day, and the FAA would ground all airplanes until they figured out the cause. And the public would get the heebee jeebees (technical term) about flying. We've had more than A YEAR of 22 crashes a day with these vaccines and the FDA just turns a blind eye, and the public has been hypnotize by relentless propaganda, so the killing goes on. If the injuries and deaths from the jabs were as visible to the public as 22 airplane crashes a day would be, you can bet this poison would have been withdrawn by early 2021.

Expand full comment

You are comparing the outcome of plane crashes to vaccinations. The fatality rate of crashes is fairly high. But the fatality rate of air travel isn't. The original analogy was comparing the number of commercial flights and/or the number of people who travel by come to harm.

We long ago observed that the probability of death and serious injury was far greater if you crashed the plane than if you did not crash the plane. Thus as an industry we decided crashing should be avoided.

Expand full comment

Again, “death” and “serious injury” are very different. Without knowing the relative ratios of each with respect to the plane crashes and with respect to the vaxxes, we don’t know that it’s an apt analogy.

You make the distinction that “the fatality rate of (general) air travel isn’t” fairly high, well perhaps that can also be said of the vaxxes, in general. Until the “perhaps“ is quantified in separate terms of deaths and serious injuries, we don’t know that it’s an apt analogy.

I mean, imagine if there were a 1 in 2000 chance of the vaxx either killing you or causing a loss of taste. Wouldn’t we want to know the breakdown between those two outcomes?

I've said that since April 2020. I also know people who have died from the vax (four) and no one I know has died of covid. As for injury - yesterday a friend dropped by my workplace. I could tell immediately that something was wrong, M is the merriest person, always happy with life and ready to share his wonderful laugh. M is my age (64) and retired last fall. Life was good and he was cruising. Not anymore. He'd had a double whammie - a heart event has him wearing a monitor so they can figure out what the hell is going on (he'd passed out three times in eight minutes). And he'd been diagnosed a few days later with Stage 1 prostate cancer. Unrelated in any way, of course. Just coincidence, bad luck. M did at least one jab (after much discussion with me), likely more. I just couldn't ask about his current vaccine status, to do so seemed cruel and pointless. But it was there in the silence. We both knew. Dropping like flies is right, dammit, they have to be noticing this. But too late for so many...

Yes, I saw no point in saying anything. When another friend dropped dead a few weeks ago I had a short, very emotional (I used the f-word about ten times in one minute) outburst about the vax - in front of vaxxed people. That went over well, you can imagine. The proverbial turd in the punchbowl. If you're going to point it out, be prepared, you will probably not get a positive response.

I’m sorry for the friends you’ve lost. I have not yet had any family or close friends die (yet) but we may well need to steel ourselves for it going forward. It’s already “out” that all-cause mortality across all age groups (but esp 50 & under) is well above normal from years past.

You don't need to ask, anyway. The proof is in the pudding.

If you see a jabbed person anywhere from 4-12 weeks after their jab, they go pale. Ashen, even. They say they feel fine but they sure as hell don't look it! I've seen it SO many times as a health professional it's just dumbfounding.

Now what sort of jab causes the injectees to go ashen a month or two afterwards? What is that doing to their oxygen supply? I understand the science so I know why but I still see it happening all over the place. Even teenagers go pale and ashen. It's utterly disturbing.

Anyway, whose ego wants to be told, this far into the covid piece, that their adherence to disturbing experimental injections is killing them? I mean, this is their WAY of life. It's like we're pissing all over their shrine to Medicine when we object to these jabs!

The fact is that almost all these jabbed people can't handle the truth. And so we will all be crying at some point - for a friend or family member we cared for who has since died from their belief in the unethical corporation that is called Medicine.

You have my condolences for your friend, Keahi. We all care for people, regardless of their poor choices. But in the future, we are going to have to be more careful about where we place our care - because those that adhere to this madness will all eventually turn against us: which you can already see from the lack of sympathy you got, even though you were no less of a friend than the others were who jabbed... :-(

Wow Robyn...I never thought of this...just watched them get sick with a cold or Covid after....tell me, do they look normal again after 4-12 weeks, or do they stay pale?

One of our local Covid nags invoked her husband's Covid death for moral authority.

She also mentioned, weirdly, that he tested negative for Covid throughout his hospitalization. And that his proximate cause of death was heart failure. And that he died in the Spring of 2021, right around the time the jabs were opened up to people in his age bracket.

One doesn't like to debate a grieving widow, and of course I can't prove anything, but it struck me that maybe people who didn't wear masks weren't the ones she should be angry at.

But it's a useful illustration of the social incentives: blame Covid and you get sympathy and attention and moral authority. Blame the jab and you get swept under the rug or attacked.

Every year the CDC releases an under reporting factor (URF) for VAERS because they know it's under utilized. A study done in the early 2000's concluded less than 1 in 100 adverse events get reported to VAERS. So what is the URF for 2021, you might ask? Welp, the CDC REFUSED to issue a URF for 2021. So 4 different analysts used calculation methods that the CDC has used in the past to calculated a URF. They got 31, 41, 44, and 100. Pick one and do the math. It's horrific.

the tricky issue with this is that i suspect the further out on the severity curve one goes, the lower the under-reporting becomes.

it might be 1 in 100 for "i had a low fever" but more like 1 in 10 for myocarditis, though there also seems to be systemic pressure against reporting in the US right now so that's likely making this difficult to net out.

a range of 10-100X seems like a safe set of boundaries.

i'd guess ~40 overall is fairly reasonable with maybe 14 for severe, but it's hard to get too precise.

yes. there is another factor that's been discussed by some analysts: A small percentage of jab batches have ended up with most of the injuries and deaths. Rampant speculation as to the cause, the most obvious being they're using people as guinea pigs to determine how high a dose they can give and still keep the injuries tolerable. The high injury batches obviously have the dosage too high. Another possibility is that they don't know what they're doing with this new technology, that the manufacturing process sometimes produces batches where the dosage is very high, other times not. Or that storage problems between manufacturing time and time of administering the jabs screwed up the contents in a way that made it more lethal. Whatever the cause of a small percentage of batches being more dangerous, it makes it even more obvious that taking these jabs is one hell of a crap shoot.

The process an adverse event has to go through to even be posted on VAERS is long and perilous as well.

Again, psychology explains much (thanks, Nietzsche): I'll admit I don't work in the industry, in fact I don't even work at all, thank God, so the following are rather assumptions. Entering information into a database like VAERS is arduous, time-consuming effort. To my knowledge, it's also optional and voluntary. It's rather low value work for an MD or even a nurse to perform. They have enough busy work as it is. Finally, there is no reward for so entering the data. In other words, it's lose-lose, a thankless job. I'm surprised that ANY medical professional would waste her time entering data that apparently doesn't even count for much.

one of the greatest authors of modern times.

“When the flames came up her eyes burned out there like gatelamps to another world. A world burning on the shore of an unknowable void. A world construed out of blood and blood's alcahest and blood in its core and in its integument because it was nothing save blood had power to resonate against that void which threatened hourly to devour it. He wrapped himself in the blanket and watched her. When those eyes and the nation to which they stood witness were gone at last with their dignity back into their origins there would perhaps be other fires and other witnesses and other worlds otherwise beheld. But they would not be this one.”

the taciturn and sparse characters poised against such vast and bloodthirsty landscapes. the rhythm and run ons and cadence broken by fragments.

to conjure images like sorcery.

Most people who got sucked into the belief that the jabs are fine, will not read this or care about the caps issue, because they write it all off before they read through the info presented. The only way for those people to change their mind is if the mainstream media presents information purportedly coming directly from CDC.

I got sucked into the Moderna jabs at the start of the pandemic panic under great pressure from my kids. They were sure old dad would get the virus and die in the next few days. I seem to be OK for now, but have my fingers crossed. No booster though, and no booster ever. Fool me once etc.

"An orthography is a set of conventions for writing a language, including norms of spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, word breaks, emphasis, and punctuation."

"conventions" is key - I have barely ever noticed (after reading for months) - the line spacing, the graphics rich content, the short paragraphs as well as the effort to "individuate" visual presentation, suggests that capitalization is expendable.

In the middle ages when paper (or its equivalent) was extremely expensive and scarce word spacing was often not used (i.e. a space between words) and that severely limited reading speed. Anyone reporting reduced el gato reading speed?

I have two acquaintances and two of, as el gato calls them, "once removed" acquaintances who have died from the vax. Can I prove that? No, but all fit the profiles predicted and described by the likes of Ryan Cole, Robert Malone et. al. A very fit 61 year old construction exec, lifetime athlete, who dropped dead while exercising. a 59 year old cancer survivor who had a very aggressive recurrence of cancer. A 40 year old Marine colonel who died after running the Marine Corp Marathon for the 7th time. And 25 year old Navy SEAL candidate Kyle Mullen who died at the end of Hell Week.

I'm now of the mind that the vax is guilty until proven innocent when someone dies unexpectedly or suffers an unusual illness (e.g., golfer Steve Stricker). You want to tell me it's not the vax? Fine, prove it.

Problem is they can't. They vaccinated all the control groups, so no all cause mortality data. Pretty screwed up.

Expand full comment

Well, they could do autopsies, but in most cases they don't want to because they're afraid of what they might find.

Expand full comment

And they are desperate to get us all vaccinated and remove the population level control group.

Expand full comment

Informal control groups exist. For example, all cause mortality before the jab (or even, before the virus). If categorized by specific cause of death, the data would be even more informative. Alas there have been, and will continue to be, obvious desires to deny, alter, or hide the data, as we saw with the very odd behavior of DoD early this year after Sen. Johnson's whistleblowers reported on the spikes in illnesses as shown by the DMED database The database was taken offline and reputed "glitches" corrected. Yeah, right.

Here in Florida, deaths are easily +20% higher than 2019's, with the biggest jumps being in the 25-54 age ranges, 25-35% (Note: those figures should be reduced by about 2% annual population growth.) Even so, big jumps in mortality.

Expand full comment

They are fudging the numbers there as well. 2 doses + 13 days = unjabbed. Die from the jab, sorry, unvaccinated death.

Even with that it's not looking good for the punctured, hence Scotland and other countries not publishing the data.

And yet, and yet - with evidence mounting almost hourly about how risk-filled these shots are - I had a conversation with a coworker on Monday who confidently stated, in response to my lamentations on the damages done by both our PIs and NPIs, "well, remember, all of our interventions were really just to relieve pressure on the hospitals at the beginning of the pandemic - and we accomplished that. No one ever said we would get rid of Covid or that the vaccines were a cure!" Really? That's your memory of events? I didn't hear Joe Biden saying "if you get this vaccine, you're not going to get Covid" or "the vaccinated are 'dead ends' for the virus"? We weren't constantly reassured about the "safety and effectiveness" of these poison shots or threatened about a "dark winter" for the unvaccinated? In fact, this coworker and most of my coworkers, spent months berating the "unvaxxed" as stupid, heartless, and unfit to appear in public and ineligible to receive ANY medical care should they become sick. Sure. I'm just supposed to pretend none of that happened.

I had a similar conversation with someone when I said the vaccines weren't the silver bullet they were touted to be. She replied, well, no-one ever said that. *eye roll* I guess that's the closest some will ever get to admitting they were duped.

Right? Of all the gaslighting that has taken place (and continues to take place) this claim is particularly galling!

And I remember when worrying data from Israel first started coming out and I brought it up at my office, one co-worker actually said, "well, I don't know the specifics about the vaccine" but rolled up her sleeve, nonetheless. Incredible!

Expand full comment

They needed us to think the jabs stopped transmission, because only then would we be 'saving grandma'.

Because they don't, any protection provided is 100% personal, and grandma is going to be infected by somebody sooner or later -- no matter how many people are jabbed.

Expand full comment

People accepting that this many deaths and side effects aren't really happening - This is the most devastating part of being alive right now. I think this puts a giant spot light on ALL so called vaccines and the potential harm they have. They all need to be pulled until more safety standards have been met. I'm sure it's not a coincidence that many kids and young adults have various diagnosis that they would have been unheard of 30yrs ago. "Why did my body decide that I was going to have psoriatic arthritis when I turned 15?" question from my now 27yr old niece. I do wonder, were they recommending Gardasil for 15yr olds in 2010. Almost every niece I have has had some illness (some had surgery) and they are all under 30. Now that they've all had this garbage they're doling out I don't even want to imagine what's coming next.

I heard this from relatives living in Finland: Both of the couple had an adverse reaction (fainting and other one had leg blood clot, both resulting in a visit to a hospital), and the very pedant & proper partner (a judge by profession) tried to report these to Fimea. Fimea flat out rejected their reports, saying "We're already aware of these". So do not consider the Fimea numbers to be the total of all adverse reactions, rather already strongly filtered sum of various possible types of adverse events.

Expand full comment

There's no telling how under-reported adverse events are in the covid vaxx era, as now there exists a culture where we must only say good things about the vaxx. To say anything negative is sacrilege, and the result is much ignoring of reality.

My sister retired from her dream job at NIH in Maryland last October. She is fully fully shotted with 4 doses now. Same with my 98 year old daddy. Both of them, 4 doses.

My sister tested positive for covid this morning. My daddy is always boogery sniffley drippy and drooly, but he is happy coherent and alert. I was outside with him yesterday walking around his fancy neighborhood in Northern Virginia. Anyway, my sister is also suffering from psoriatic eczema all over her body, mainly her head, face, arms. Poor thing. She does not associate the vaccines to the immunity flare ups she is experiencing.

So, I had the first two shots, I was wrangled into them, my hubbs needed open heart surgery, and in order to enter my dads community, I was required. Wow, thinking back that was so draconian. I should have made myself a fake covid card and entered the life of criminality.

Anyway, I have not had a shot in a year, I am not getting anymore shots.

I did get quite sick after the second shot, and developed rheumatoid arthritis kind of flare. I have endured this for a year and now I am on low dose prednisone (which really sucks, yes, I can sleep at night without waking in agony, but prednisone is a messy drug)

There are numerous medical maladies happening to people and they are not associating it with the shot.

I have a good doctor in Northern Virginia.

Next week, I am having 'abdominal surgery" for something that was benign before the shots and now, they are going in and .... oh gosh, yikes. I have never had surgery.

I had a boat load of blood work done and so far there are no cancer alerts.

Still, this all sucks.

Hubbs and I are not getting any more "vaccines" What a load of garbage.

My dear, because it is mUCH bigger than that. A bunch of billionaires have decided there are too many people..that there won't be anough jobs in 2030 because of robots and AI, and we have passed peak oil. So the kindest thing to do is to kill off 7.5Billion people, rather than have the world turn into The Road movie. Would you rather starve? They have been planning this for over 30 years, and now is the Great Reset/AGenda 21, moved up from 2030 to now. They are busy crashing the economy (stocks, bonds, the dollar, private property) and at the end, you will own nothing and you will be happy. Did you think this was just a conspiracy theory??

"these products and mandates were the technocratic centerpieces of 2 administrations"

Products, yes. Mandates, NO. IIRC, Trump's administration never imposed or tried to impose any sort of vaxx mandate.

The mandates are owned *entirely* by the Left and by the Democrat Party.
