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.

“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….

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.

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.

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.

"We" didn't create anything- THEY did.

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."

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.

Biggest Pharma failure right up there with the OxyContin scandal

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 ??!

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🙄

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.
