A female athlete Shuai claims she is assaulted by a government official then disappears then weeks later reappears and apologizes to her communist government and says it was a misunderstanding. And now Tennis Australia bans T shirts supporting her bc they’re afraid. Even in Australia… the whole world is watching. What happened to justice? Freedom? Wearing a T shirt with an obscene picture or word I get it, that’s not good for TV. But instead, wearing one that supports a victim, empowers the victim - what’s the problem?

Exerpts from an interesting Sept 30 2021 article In European Journal of Epidemiology https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10654-021-00808-7 “Vaccines currently are the primary mitigation strategy to combat COVID-19 around the world. For instance, the narrative related to the ongoing surge of new cases in the United States (US) is argued to be driven by areas with low vaccination rates “———————-———————-“The sole reliance on vaccination as a primary strategy to mitigate COVID-19 and its adverse consequences needs to be re-examined, especially considering the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant and the likelihood of future variants. Other pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions may need to be put in place alongside increasing vaccination rates. Such course correction, especially with regards to the policy narrative, becomes paramount with emerging scientific evidence on real world effectiveness of the vaccines.”

Excerpt copied from this opinion article dated 9-20-21 by Dr Jesse Pelletier MD - “The Biden policy unfortunately continues to ignore other means of acquiring immunity, which may include natural infection and single doses of mRNA vaccine. We cannot turn away from that which has been known all along: this is not a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Many of the unvaccinated have been previously exposed to SARS-CoV-2 or had COVID-19. They have some immunity. This is a pandemic caused by a highly infectious virus that mainly manifests in the immunologically naive. Recent data from Israel continues to build upon the notion that immunity in people who survived a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection is robust and durable -- perhaps even more so than in the unexposed but vaccinated. Ignoring these facts and blindly forging ahead with blunt policies will continue to unravel vital threads of trust that remain in the system.” Reference https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/94598?xid=nl_secondopinion_2021-09-21&eun=g1692306d0r

What is Inflation? Helpful information from Victor Menasce’s excellent Real Estate Espresso podcast from 9/14/2021. Excerpt quoted as follows and continued in comments: ——————————————————“The government has changed the way it has measured inflation over the years in order to downplay the effect of inflation. When the experience of inflation is high the population gets testy. So governments have gotten good at changing the measurement of inflation. The underlying data that makes up the inflation measurement is still available, so if you know the method it’s possible to recreate an inflation metric exactly the same as the Bureau of Labor and Statistics did in 1990…and in 1980. You can then compare to today’s published number. That’s exactly what the folks at shadowstats do.

They use the government’s own published data to recreate the inflation metric using their previous methodologies. Today the US government is saying that inflation is running at 5.1% at the end of July. They’re saying that that rate is temporarily elevated due to the pandemic. They’re saying it’s due to supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic and due to labor disruptions caused by the pandemic and that things will return back to normal. But if we measure inflation using the same method as in 1980, the US would be reporting an inflation rate of 13%. See, when you look at a producer price index of 22% , a consumer price index increase of 13% makes a lot more sense. When you listen to the narrative coming from the White House, the administration is blaming those greedy suppliers for raising prices in America’s time of need. There’s no mention that printing of 4.3 trillion dollars in the past year could’ve have even remotely contributed to elevated prices. See, inflation is defined as the inflation of the money supply . It’s NOT the increase in the consumer price index. Increasing prices are the consequence of inflation but not the inflation itself. “

How Does Natural COVID Immunity Compare to Vaccine Immunity? Also, if public health was the motivation, why only weekly test the unvaccinated, since the vaccinated also are susceptible to carrying and transmission? 🤔

Sweeping statements Biden made on safety, age groups, and no mention of previously infected- recovered Americans. 🤔Some interesting excerpts from his speech tonight, news report from BBC, headline from MDedge, and finally Nature.org. ————————-References: https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/joe-biden-announces-new-covid-19-vaccine-mandates-speech-transcript ——————-https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58438669 —————-https://www.mdedge.com/familymedicine/article/245624/coronavirus-updates/politics-or-protection-whats-behind-push-boosters/page—————— https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34030176/

Just some perspective here… does it seem odd that auto manufacturers will recall all models of their cars and trucks for only six cases of malfunction? Recalls occur so often with cars. Could it be because they have legal liability (aka payouts of millions of dollars in damages)? Wonder how that contrasts with makers of Vaccines? Just curious, worth looking at. Wonder when the last recall was?….. Here’s an excerpt from New England Journal of Medicine’s Dec 2020 article , “ the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations, the global pharmaceutical-industry lobbying group, publicly demanded that manufacturers be granted protection from lawsuits associated with vaccine-related adverse events if they were going to participate in pandemic responses. In the United States, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act provides manufacturers immunity from lawsuits related to injuries caused by vaccines, with narrow exceptions.” And later In the article “Second, the World Health Organization (WHO) has an insurance mechanism for vaccines deployed under emergency use authorizations. This mechanism requires that the recipient country agree to indemnify the WHO, donors, manufacturers, and health care workers who vaccinate people; the WHO then provides compensation to people who have a serious adverse event.” Ref: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2030600 ——————————— last year CNBC Wrote an article where they interviewed a lawyer on the subject, here’s an excerpt “You also can’t sue the Food and Drug Administration for authorizing a vaccine for emergency use, nor can you hold your employer accountable if they mandate inoculation as a condition of employment.” Ref: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/16/covid-vaccine-side-effects-compensation-lawsuit.html

The summary of this article from Science.org 26 Aug 2021 is that for non previously infected people they should get their two jabs. For those who have already gotten infected and recovered the immunity is far greater than the jab. The questions remain whether the prior infected need to still get the shot even though two shot mandates are currently being rolled out all over the country. And if so only one shot may be needed not two. (Which also calls into question if a prior recovered person third shot aka booster if they don’t even need a second one in countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Israel ). So based on the Israeli study the hierarchy for protection might look something like this: Prior infection recovered > Double jabbed > No prior shot nor prior infection. https://www.science.org/news/2021/08/having-sars-cov-2-once-confers-much-greater-immunity-vaccine-vaccination-remains-vital

The problem with the delta variant is that it infects both those who have had their two shots and those who haven’t. And once those individuals have it, their viral loads are indistinguishable one group from the other. And therefore transmission occurs regardless of status. This variant is looking like it is becoming the predominant one in the UK, was in India. And appears to be in the USA. Because of this study and other like it showing delta’s capabilities this is why CDC is recommending masks for both groups regardless of shot status. The question: if those who have shots are able to be infected and carrying same viral loads as the group without shots, what does a shot passport accomplish other than allow that person to spread virus ?

Lots of news about delta variant and how it is more contagious. Here is the UK government’s most recent update on all variants of concern in the UK, which is nicely organized. To cut and paste a few highlights: Under age 50 larger # of Delta cases were in the population without shots which is in line with what I have heard in the news. Over age 50, the larger # of Delta cases were in the population which received both shots. That was an interesting finding, counterintuitive to what the media has reported. And Conversely the death rate for those under 50 for delta was 71 out of 265,749 positive cases which on the chart shows as 0% which of course is due to rounding because those two numbers divided is 0.000267169396686. The group over 50 years of age was 670 deaths out of 33,736 cases or 2%. So the questions might be why are those who received their two shots and over the age of 50 showing up as more likely (21,472) than the no shots (3,440) to have Delta? And if the death rate is higher in the over 50 group, 2% (vs 0% in the under 50), then what is the benefit to give the older group the shot if a greater number of them (21,472) were infected with it than the group that didn’t get the shot (3,440)? The website was updated as of august 6, 2021. As new data emerge they will update the site and perhaps shed more light on this interesting topic.

Well meaning government vs liberty. Quoting the often saucy Richard Maybury: “political power is the legalized privilege of using force on persons who have not harmed anyone. This privilege is what sets governments, meaning politicians and their bureaucrats, apart from the rest of us, and apart from any other institutions.... That’s what the federal government’s more than 300,000 laws are about... This privilege is why all governments are inherently sociopathic. How many humans would not be corrupted by the legal privilege of using force on people who have not hurt anyone? A key point : this is why George Orwell warned that political power is not a means, it is an end.’ “ Reference : Early Warning Report August 2021 edition By Richard Maybury, and Reference: https://www.loc.gov/item/2009631778/
