El gato malo is one of the most trusted names in science ( to be clear: legitimate, empirical based science). God Bless you and your insane energy to fight tyranny. You're an inspiration.
Great analysis as always. My only contribution is to disagree with the contention that most of the vaccinated got vaccinated for the benefit of society. Most seem to have been driven by fear for their personal safety and did not do ANY research into the vaccines or the possible side effects. I personally almost got the shot until I looked into the subject.
my fav are the parents who are still saying as they vax their 5 year olds "For the community. Thank you Science ." it's a weird, cultish mantra that isn't grounded in reality.
And in my experience, while they (my neighbors in this case) nod their heads and tell me that they know “everyone is going to get it”, and that they, being vaccinated, are “protected”, they stand in total abject fear of me, because I’m not vaccinated. To the point of refusing to roll down car windows to speak to me from 10 feet away. Insanity.
We got so played, treating this like Ebola...when it was the flu and now, a cold. What's most freaky to me is that once they get the whackscene, and they get sick, and you are not sick or well recovered, they can't S T R E T C H their minds to believe that the jab MADE THEM SICKER, SICKER than they would have been, or possibly disabled dead from that very sacred jab. SACRED, SCARED, almost the same word.
The very last entity to be suspected as the cause, just as milk was the last entity to be suspected in the Tuberculosis outbreaks of the last century. So many had died, but the milkman was the last person allowed in the castle, and the royal kids kept dying. They had to have their milk! Will they ever figure it out? A child can see it.
They should be afraid of you, Shelly, because you are a tiger! ROOOOAARRR! and they are baby zebras. Kind of ironic that you - the "unjabbed" - got the power in you! :D
Yeah, the social responsibility crap was trotted out to coerce resisters, and then the fearful crowd grabbed onto it (after getting jabbed) to get the social credit in their circles. Their little eyes must have lit up when they heard about it. Then they crow self-righteously, as usual.
It would be good if people stopped viewing each other as an enemy for different choices, but I am afraid it goes both ways: othering the unvaxxed or disparaging the vaxxed. We are a family of four, with two boys (one adolescent, one young adult). We are all double vaxxed, kids currently dodging boosters. I came to the US from Russia quite a few years ago with a very high respect for American medicine. American medicine is still vastly better than Russian (in my humble personal opinion). Even in this debacle, you guys have data you can discuss, in Russia they don’t even have any stats on their vaccine, they just go for the shots (or not).
Most people on these kinds of substack discussions have absolutely no enmity towards people who got vaxxed and moved on with life.
It's the fascists pretending to be protecting society who are attempting to literally destroy the lives of people who have no interest in taking part of the largest medical experiment in history who are the enemy.
I want to add that we believed what we were told in the summer, and went for the vax expecting normalcy. Now we are just angry. My husband and I cannot be coerced (both retired), the kids are under the gun. We have made plans to move, transfer and quit whatever they are doing, but no more shots. Fortunately, in America, we have choices.
Brahms, please understand that I am not looking at the vaccinated as the enemy. Quite the contrary…. I know three people that were vaccine injured and many who were forced to get it to work. My problem is with those who decided to get jabbed and are now sanctimoniously telling us that they ‘did the right thing’ for the benefit of society…..because they care.
Sadly, the (many) single young adults I know who took the shots told me they did it for others - some for romantic partners, some for elderly or compromised family members, some to maintain friendships or social connections.
“it’s chilling enough to see a sitting president of the US ask the media to engage in censorship, but to watch him do so to suppress the very data that refutes the failed and flailing policies he’s ramming down our throats is just staggering.”
Indeed. And after watching the Melbourne documentary, plus Psaki telling everyone to ignore SCOTUS….
Me again. Just watched it. Shocking! Truly shocking!! Is this uploaded anywhere other than YouTube? I don’t recall when he posted it, but I’m sure it’s a matter of time before it’s censored. It’a too much truth for the powers-that-be.
I think it’s also on Rumble somewhere. Come to my post on Parler and the link is in the comments there. (@Amy)
And yes, you can see why I could not stop watching it. Two of my favorite musicians are in Melbourne right now, and the government is simply killing their careers, along with everything else.
The intentional aim of collectivizing risk, and transferring it as an individual choice for assessment to one that must consider the risk tolerance of others in society by assuming the worst case outcome based on the potential of an invisible ubiquitous threat whose dangers require an abundance of absurd caution (mostly useless theatre) be exercised to alleviate the neurotic feelings of others from this hypothetical imaginary and invisible harm is one of the most insidious aspects of our present moment and half as comprehensible as this sentence I just wrote. To compare it to wearing a seat belt “to protect others” or stopping at a stop light in automobile traffic is to reveal one’s incapacity toward reason, logic, or rudimentary comparative analysis.
This insidiousness is compounded now with the emergence of symptoms that we once associated with the common cold but are now psychosocially conditioned to apply to our new variant of Covid. It’s the common cold, but because it’s called “covid”, and can only be diagnosed with a “covid test”, our fear response requires a continuation of keeping up all inhumane ritualistic cautionary measures that never worked for any other variant and are by design a test of obedience and submission to willingly partake in the engineered insanity.
Ack! You just hit me where I lived! I miss having a butt on the back step, drinking my coffee, taking in the morning (afternoon, evening, dead of night...) It's been three years and I still get the insane urge to smoke when triggered. (Heh. I said "triggered.")
Y’all are particularly witty commenters. El gato is a fun read, not only because of his own insights (always searching, never arrogant), but also because of the quality of his followers. And I appreciate the laughs.
Oh, I am not allowed on campus due to my allergies. I pretty much always have ALL the main symptoms of Covid except fever and their panic rules require anyone displaying even just one of Covid’s symptoms to stay away. This has been the case for 2 years now, well just shy of 2 years. But I care not for the rules so don’t care. Comes in handy though, just as Yossarian’s (SP?) unusually high body temp did for him. If required to come in and thus have to wear a mask, I just let my coughing and sneezing run amok over Zoom and they leave me alone.
Growing up, I knew a boy since about second grade who literally ALWAYS had a runny nose and sniffled aggressively like ALL the time. It was taken as a given that he was just globally sickly and was allowed to sit out of gym class, etc., but he was also given an absurdly wide berth even into high school as a disease vector. But as far as I could tell, there wasn't really anything else wrong with him; he was normal height and weight, seemed mentally with it, and so on- dude just perpetually had a cold.
Hmm are you talking about me I wonder? Actually, I only sometimes have a runny nose, serious sinus congestion nearly all the time. Very very rare that I ever get a full breath of air as my nostrils are constantly at peats partially blocked. Was a nose breather until about 5th got rad e I guess when I learned what the nose does. Then became all but hooked on Dristan Nasal Spray. Even now, in my 50’s, it requires conscious effort to breath through my nose. Always have a headache. Always. A cough or a heavy clearing of the throat is never far away.
TS: I have similar issues with constant nasal congestion, leakiness, and frequent sinus discomfort. Had an outpatient procedure done almost two years ago that has really helped the ability to draw in a full breath through my nose (no improvement some days, improvement maybe 50% most days, and sometimes totally clear). Sorry I don't know what it's called but my ENT said it's relatively new. Basically they put a frickin' laser up each nostril and zapped the little side passages that are always swollen and it shrinks them down. I had no side effects, just needed a post-surgery regimen of nasal sprays and a course of antibiotics.
Thanks. If ever this madness ends and I can get back to earning a living I will be looking into that. People who have not experienced this do not know what it is like to not be able to draw a complete breath. Honestly, I did not know myself until I was somewhere with really clean air. It was a magical experience. I could actually feel my nasal passages open up and the air being drawn in. My headache cleared away instantly and my energy level shot up through the roof. A sensation I have experienced only a handful of times in my life.
TS I really hope that you can find some improvement in the near future. As far as the impact of nasal congestion, it's a bit of a nightmare for me to think what would happen if I were the victim of a crime where they taped my mouth shut. I would beg them to just shoot me because breathing just through my nose is unpossible (although sometimes possible post-surgery).
I'm sorry but I don't have any recollection of what it's called, wish I did. It might be described as cauterization as opposed to laser per se but for some reason I've blanked out the details lol.
Nah, this kid was a perpetual leaky faucet, every single day of his entire childhood and adolescence. You didn't want to hate someone for being sick, but I have vivid memories of a silent math classroom with violent, random, loud SNIFFs from the back of the room every 5-10 seconds feeling like Chinese water torture.
Luckily, that is me only during hay fever season, which will soon be upon us here. Believe me, it was worse for him. Doesn’t make it easier for you to bear but worse for him.
You know you have a kind of superpower right? It would be in one of those 'Off label' Marvel movies they make all the time with odd things people can do like Farting on demand or something similar. I am glad you use your power in good ways!!
Seat belts: when introduced for front seat travellers it reduced facial injuries and deaths in the front seat, but increased them in the back. Back seat passengers thrown forward on impact met face first the heads of front seat passengers whiplashed back by the restraining seat belts. Whilst head injuries decreased in the front, spinal injuries increased. Transfer of risk.
Everyone’s favourite: unintended consequences.
So we await the full ‘unintended consequences’ report on vaccines.
You are the hero Gotham needs. Unfortunately most people here are pleased to be prisoners. Can we have a feral cat invasion of Australia? What they are doing to Novak Djokovic is beyond disgusting, this may be the biggest athlete stand against tyranny since Jesse Owens.
The vaccinated are more likely to be infected with omicron…or maybe they are just more likely to be infected by anything? Immune system damage and all that.
anecdotally that's what I'm seeing. even young people (forced to boost by colleges) are getting hit by flu/rona/strep all at once!!! that doesn't .. make sense.
This hard-left, lifelong Democratic voter has been driven into the arms of Republican candidates because of the left's handling of Covid-19 and spreading falsehoods like getting the Covid-19 vaccine is a social duty. The left likes to compare Republicans to Nazis but after hearing Dr. Mattias Desmet speaking about mass formation, it's clear that many people are vulnerable to falling under the sway of totalitarianism, no matter their voting preferences. It's really sad.
At this rate pretty soon the Nazis will be running against the Nazis. For what they’ll stand for or against, who cares. At least finally they’ll be pointing the finger at themselves.
We need to stop using the term "vaccine" when referring to the mRNA injections.
We need to stop saying that the "the vaccinated are getting more Covid" as what is happening is that those who are getting the experimental mRNA injections are having their immune systems vaporized among other things.
"Covid" is just a catch-all term invented as a ruse for the purpose of creating mass hysteria. Simply put it was the re-branding of the flu/pneumonia/common cold.
People are getting sick from the poison being pumped into their bodies. These are "vaccine" injuries not "Covid."
It would also help if we stopped saying ‘vaccinated’ and started saying ‘immunised’, because it is the latter that is important, as it means immune for life and unaffected by further exposure to the virus. We would then find that people who are immune are those exposed to/recovered from CoVid and who outnumber the vaccinated who are not immune at all.
We just call them "Clot Shots." It infuriates the true believers. In writing I call them injections , so "injectees" , or occasionally the "Vaxxed." The vocabulary is a Newspeak triumph, of course. Had they been honestly described as experimental chemotherapy instead of "vaccines" it would have been a much harder sell.
Brilliant. Also, the reasoning for getting the vax continues to wane everyday. In Canada, the latest focus has been "get vaxxed to keep hospital beds free"... Meanwhile, infected hospital workers are staying on the job,infecting those in the hospital who are there without omicron. And at least where I am, people that were hanging out with an infected person are encouraged to go to work so long as they are vaccinated and don't have symptoms... Which would be fine if we didnt hear two years of whining about self isolation.
That seems to be the logic for most vaxx hawks in Canada, but Trudeau is clinging to the supposed rationale of 6 months ago. He told kids to get vaxxed to protect themselves, their families, the immune compromised. There’s still a huge portion of people that think vaccines slow the spread.
People at my work catching covid . Most boosted … staffing shortages . I had a patient yesterday , 23 yo boosted gave covid to her boosted parents , dad pretty sick despite being triple vaccinated . Tell me the vaccine really lessens disease severity . When can we hold big pharma accountable to their shitty vaccines which are still under eua ??!
It is insanity to boost with the wrong vaccine. Pfizer CEO says vaccine is largely ineffective against Omicron, but that booster will provide protection? What kind of BS is this? If antibodies are a match to virus antigens, you wont get sick. They clearly are not. I cannot get over this pure insanity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhMbKyDq9_w
Brandon's pathetic pleading for censorship strikes me as close to last-ditch desperation.
Many if not most of them must know what we know, and that when the tide turns it will break his presidency.
Let's hope we soon see the logical next step: the rats scurrying down the passageway leading to the exit hatches.
Imagine what might befall this cadre of totalitarian knaves and mountebanks if legions of urban blue Karen's begin to awaken en masse and realize that everything they've been told is bullshit and they've been masking and jabbing their cubs for naught.
They sure as hell are not going to blame themselves.
Meanwhile, here in Japan where everyone seems to think we are not getting vaxxed to the max as everywhere else, I received an email from one employer JUST today reminding me that today is the deadline to sign up for the 3rd shot (not even doing that foolish “booster BS here!). It was a group email and thus I was able to learn that my boss and all my “esteemed colleagues” have already signed up. Not like its a med school or anything. OPPS! it IS a med school.
In other news, another of my medical schools and their nursing school have already decided that due to Omicron, all classes will be online for the up coming school year which starts April 1st. Our 3rd school year of all online. Yippee!
"is omicron really this much more contagious or is it vaccines MAKING it this much more contagious?"
Anecdotal: I tested positive Dec 30, everyone else in my household tested negative. None of us are vaccinated. I had an increased sense of smell for 8 days, followed by 2 days of a raspy voice and 1 day of a mild post nasal drip. It was a stretch for me to consider myself "ill" in any way. I did not wear a mask in my home, I did not isolate from others of my household, I continued to cook meals, they continued to eat those meals. At day 5 they wanted to visit family and we all tested again; I was still positive, they were all still negative. (They didn't go) At that point they became a bit obsessed and are still testing themselves near to daily, not one has tested positive, not one has had any symptoms. Now at day 16 from my first positive and first day of a "symptom" of acute sense of smell. I don't know how long the incubation period can possibly be but I'm going to go ahead and assume the 4 other unvaccinated freely exposed to me in my household aren't going to/haven't gotten it from me. Several of those they had intended to visit that are vaccinated did get sick from different exposure, they were incredibly sick. I like to say that my worst symptom was continuing to test positive. Possibly it was wrong of me not to isolate within my home, I don't know. No Kleenex were sacrificed in the completion of that experiment.
Your experience mimics the Diamond Princess petri dish from nearly 2 years ago. Only about 20% were found to be infected despite the close contacts with the index case. If you've never been on a cruise ship you need to understand the social distancing is not really possible, or encouraged. People a re herded around like cattle in a feed lot. Ventilation is not great and high air volume spaces are scarce.
El gato malo is one of the most trusted names in science ( to be clear: legitimate, empirical based science). God Bless you and your insane energy to fight tyranny. You're an inspiration.
el gato de la ciencia!
Great analysis as always. My only contribution is to disagree with the contention that most of the vaccinated got vaccinated for the benefit of society. Most seem to have been driven by fear for their personal safety and did not do ANY research into the vaccines or the possible side effects. I personally almost got the shot until I looked into the subject.
or because they wanted to travel and go out to eat
Or make tik tok videos signaling their virtue to their idiot friends.
my fav are the parents who are still saying as they vax their 5 year olds "For the community. Thank you Science ." it's a weird, cultish mantra that isn't grounded in reality.
In its essence it is biological, and projects a death wish. It will be fulfilled.
It’s down right creepy
And in my experience, while they (my neighbors in this case) nod their heads and tell me that they know “everyone is going to get it”, and that they, being vaccinated, are “protected”, they stand in total abject fear of me, because I’m not vaccinated. To the point of refusing to roll down car windows to speak to me from 10 feet away. Insanity.
We got so played, treating this like Ebola...when it was the flu and now, a cold. What's most freaky to me is that once they get the whackscene, and they get sick, and you are not sick or well recovered, they can't S T R E T C H their minds to believe that the jab MADE THEM SICKER, SICKER than they would have been, or possibly disabled dead from that very sacred jab. SACRED, SCARED, almost the same word.
The very last entity to be suspected as the cause, just as milk was the last entity to be suspected in the Tuberculosis outbreaks of the last century. So many had died, but the milkman was the last person allowed in the castle, and the royal kids kept dying. They had to have their milk! Will they ever figure it out? A child can see it.
I love those historical tidbits 👍👍
It is good they shun you - you might catch some nasty stuff from them. Not joking.
Good point! 👍👍
They should be afraid of you, Shelly, because you are a tiger! ROOOOAARRR! and they are baby zebras. Kind of ironic that you - the "unjabbed" - got the power in you! :D
😂😂😂😂
Yeah, the social responsibility crap was trotted out to coerce resisters, and then the fearful crowd grabbed onto it (after getting jabbed) to get the social credit in their circles. Their little eyes must have lit up when they heard about it. Then they crow self-righteously, as usual.
It would be good if people stopped viewing each other as an enemy for different choices, but I am afraid it goes both ways: othering the unvaxxed or disparaging the vaxxed. We are a family of four, with two boys (one adolescent, one young adult). We are all double vaxxed, kids currently dodging boosters. I came to the US from Russia quite a few years ago with a very high respect for American medicine. American medicine is still vastly better than Russian (in my humble personal opinion).

They have made it that way.
I want to add that we believed what we were told in the summer, and went for the vax expecting normalcy. Now we are just angry. My husband and I cannot be coerced (both retired), the kids are under the gun. We have made plans to move, transfer and quit whatever they are doing, but no more shots. Fortunately, in America, we have choices.
Brahms, please understand that I am not looking at the vaccinated as the enemy. Quite the contrary…. I know three people that were vaccine injured and many who were forced to get it to work.

I understand, I guess I was really addressing some of the commenters to your post. It is a sad situation overall.
5 of 6 of my sibs got all the shots cuz they believe authorities wouldn't lie to the people.
Mine too Marty....If we lose them soon, it will be devastating. I did try to warn.
Sadly, the (many) single young adults I know who took the shots told me they did it for others - some for romantic partners, some for elderly or compromised family members, some to maintain friendships or social connections.

Seat belts: when introduced for front seat travellers it reduced facial injuries and deaths in the front seat, but increased them in the back. Back seat passengers thrown forward on impact met face first the heads of front seat passengers whiplashed back by the restraining seat belts.

It would also help if we stopped saying ‘vaccinated’ and started saying ‘immunised’, because it is the latter that is important, as it means immune for life and unaffected by further exposure to the virus. We would then find that people who are immune are those exposed to/recovered from CoVid and who outnumber the vaccinated who are not immune at all.
Jessica Rose has adopted “Covid-19 injectable products.” For me, it is a better term than vaccine.
We just call them "Clot Shots." It infuriates the true believers. In writing I call them injections , so "injectees" , or occasionally the "Vaxxed." The vocabulary is a Newspeak triumph, of course. Had they been honestly described as experimental chemotherapy instead of "vaccines" it would have been a much harder sell.
Brilliant. Also, the reasoning for getting the vax continues to wane everyday. In Canada, the latest focus has been "get vaxxed to keep hospital beds free"... Meanwhile, infected hospital workers are staying on the job,infecting those in the hospital who are there without omicron. And at least where I am, people that were hanging out with an infected person are encouraged to go to work so long as they are vaccinated and don't have symptoms... Which would be fine if we didnt hear two years of whining about self isolation.
That seems to be the logic for most vaxx hawks in Canada, but Trudeau is clinging to the supposed rationale of 6 months ago. He told kids to get vaxxed to protect themselves, their families, the immune compromised. There’s still a huge portion of people that think vaccines slow the spread.
I'm SO through looking at graphs and charts and stats.
Biggest Pharma failure right up there with the OxyContin scandal
Maybe we just need to double the dosage!
Do they offer OxyContin “boosters” yet?
Your math exercises are very much appreciated, here, in "bayesian datacrime," and other articles. I'll come to Prof Gato's classes any day.
People at my work catching covid . Most boosted … staffing shortages . I had a patient yesterday , 23 yo boosted gave covid to her boosted parents , dad pretty sick despite being triple vaccinated . Tell me the vaccine really lessens disease severity . When can we hold big pharma accountable to their shitty vaccines which are still under eua ??!
It is insanity to boost with the wrong vaccine. Pfizer CEO says vaccine is largely ineffective against Omicron, but that booster will provide protection? What kind of BS is this? If antibodies are a match to virus antigens, you wont get sick. They clearly are not. I cannot get over this pure insanity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhMbKyDq9_w
Situation all over Ireland right now. One of the highest vaxxed countries in Europe and has the highest rate of infection.
Brandon's pathetic pleading for censorship strikes me as close to last-ditch desperation.
Many if not most of them must know what we know, and that when the tide turns it will break his presidency.
Let's hope we soon see the logical next step: the rats scurrying down the passageway leading to the exit hatches.
Imagine what might befall this cadre of totalitarian knaves and mountebanks if legions of urban blue Karen's begin to awaken en masse and realize that everything they've been told is bullshit and they've been masking and jabbing their cubs for naught.
They sure as hell are not going to blame themselves.
Has anyone ever died from schadenfreude?
Asking for a friend.
I'm still mulling over how all negative reactions to the shots, post two weeks, gets logged onto the unvaxxed column🙄
Best not to ask the sick of their jab status. Better for MSM if everyone just assumes that sick = unjabbed.
Meanwhile, here in Japan where everyone seems to think we are not getting vaxxed to the max as everywhere else, I received an email from one employer JUST today reminding me that today is the deadline to sign up for the 3rd shot (not even doing that foolish “booster BS here!). It was a group email and thus I was able to learn that my boss and all my “esteemed colleagues” have already signed up. Not like its a med school or anything. OPPS! it IS a med school.
In other news, another of my medical schools and their nursing school have already decided that due to Omicron, all classes will be online for the up coming school year which starts April 1st. Our 3rd school year of all online. Yippee!
🤦♀️
"is omicron really this much more contagious or is it vaccines MAKING it this much more contagious?"
Anecdotal: I tested positive Dec 30, everyone else in my household tested negative. None of us are vaccinated. I had an increased sense of smell for 8 days, followed by 2 days of a raspy voice and 1 day of a mild post nasal drip. It was a stretch for me to consider myself "ill" in any way. I did not wear a mask in my home, I did not isolate from others of my household, I continued to cook meals, they continued to eat those meals. At day 5 they wanted to visit family and we all tested again; I was still positive, they were all still negative. (They didn't go) At that point they became a bit obsessed and are still testing themselves near to daily, not one has tested positive, not one has had any symptoms. Now at day 16 from my first positive and first day of a "symptom" of acute sense of smell. I don't know how long the incubation period can possibly be but I'm going to go ahead and assume the 4 other unvaccinated freely exposed to me in my household aren't going to/haven't gotten it from me. Several of those they had intended to visit that are vaccinated did get sick from different exposure, they were incredibly sick. I like to say that my worst symptom was continuing to test positive. Possibly it was wrong of me not to isolate within my home, I don't know. No Kleenex were sacrificed in the completion of that experiment.
Your experience mimics the Diamond Princess petri dish from nearly 2 years ago. Only about 20% were found to be infected despite the close contacts with the index case. If you've never been on a cruise ship you need to understand the social distancing is not really possible, or encouraged. People a re herded around like cattle in a feed lot. Ventilation is not great and high air volume spaces are scarce.
