...[the jab hamster wheel] is it riskier to jump off than to stay on?" asked Jean. Radagast - the blog author - replies "You’ll have to jump off at some point. Better to do it earlier than later." Faultless logic really. 

Please read this [Link] from RINTRAH (simply 'the online diary of a Dutch man.'): 'Suppression of the innate immune system: The main cause of the pandemic of the fully vaccinated' 

"It wasn’t immediately obvious that the vaccines increase infection risk by disabling innate immunity, because initially your body is flooded with effective neutralizing antibodies against this virus. It’s only once the antibodies begin to wane, that it becomes clear that the main methods your body normally uses to prevent or abort infection have been disabled.

And if you understand that this is what has happened, then you also understand how this happened" 

Hat-tip in the comments from of the following link: the Naked Emperor's latest post: A Picture is worth a Thousand Words. or a graph. 

More from RINTRAH (please read the whole thing...and the comments).

You don’t have to believe me anymore, at this point you can just look at the numbers coming out daily. If these vaccines could solve the problem for us, you wouldn’t be seeing:

-Record deaths in Israel

-Record ICU admissions in Israel

-Record cases in Israel

[...]

-Record cases throughout highly vaccinated regions of the world

-Unexplainable excess mortality that seems to come and go together with different variants of this virus

-People who continually get reinfected

All of these are irreconcilable with a vaccine that works. We’ve seen ninety percent of Israeli elderly above 60 receive three doses of this vaccine. The pandemic is supposed to be over in Israel but it’s not, they’re doing worse than ever before.

The conclusion: "The fact that there’s a sudden outbreak of a novel coronavirus doesn’t suddenly make the process easier, it mainly makes us less critical about potential flaws and risks involved.

And now you can see the consequences of that."

And just for fun: Highly virulent HIV variant found circulating in Europe [Nature]

And off on a tangent: I agree entirely with Francis Hoar: the problems we are facing and will face are not the fault of Covid 19 or even SARS CoV 2, it is "the worst public policy decision in peace time." To be fair he has been saying similar for the whole pandemic period.

Genomic epidemiology of novel coronavirus - Africa-focused subsampling [Nextstrain.org] 

Now, you could read that as 'Double O' short-hand for fictional licenced-to-kill undercover agent or 'Oh Oh' as in awareness of a problem, mild alarm or worry over the realisation of an error...but...Ian Rons at the Daily Skeptic gives us his 'Bond' tongue in cheek conspiracy theory (honest, I know all the others have come true but this is a joke). however, it may be the case ("Self-disseminating vaccines to suppress zoonoses")! 

Anyhooo, a month ago Igor Chudov wrote "Omicron 'variant' likely to be man-made. It evolved from a strain that is not in circulation as of 1.5 years ago." And from almost two weeks back "Omicron is Not Normal " [eugyppius], and last week from Jonatan Pallesen [his Twitter] "It is based on a variant last seen in mid-2020." 

"That is a very odd path for a virus to evolve naturally. But a normal one if it was investigated in a lab since then." 

There are many more with so much info (e.g. Dr. B, or the Chinese!) but links lead to links and the rabbit hole is endless albeit super interesting and thought provoking. Below you'll see two more images of the evolutionary connections (Omicron's goes back to mid 2020 remember), on the right the larger view, on the left a close-up of the origin (click to enlarge) ...maybe that OO isn't so conspiratorial after all...

Omicron offensive: ostracise others...

Jesus wept. yes, I quote the scriptures but also the modern meaning applies: after a mention of the head bed-wetter ABC* telling us what Jesus would do, now Bozo the Clown is too! FFS. 

"Boris Johnson has invoked the teaching of Jesus Christ to urge the public to get a Covid booster jab", ludicrous. [The Guardian] 

* No sooner had I blogged 'will no one rid us of this turbulent priest?' (to coin a phrase hehe), and 'his wokeness presiding over the collapse of the faith in the UK (he is not alone in the blame for this)' when Frederick Edward, 'Will nobody rid me of this turbulent priest?', at Bournbrook has what could almost be a follow-up: albeit smarter, calmer, better written...OK, OK! 

"Given that the entirety of the mainstream Christian establishment is wetter than a damp rag left out overnight during a rainstorm, it seems almost churlish to pick on any individual in particular." 

And regarding the Archbishop of Canterbury's comment, Frederick writes: 

This spiritual blackmail left me cold. If you love your neighbour, you probably shouldn’t try and strong-arm them into having a vaccine for which there is no long-term data and whose potential harms outweigh any conceivable benefit for vast swathes of the population. Particularly considering the fact that vaccination does not appear to stop infection or transmission. 

Hear hear.

Oh, and by the way, I almost forgot: "The UKHSA study also found that protection against Omicron from booster shots starts to wane within three months, meaning millions face having an earlier fourth Covid jab next year." [The Times]...

...please don't pretend to be surprised.

Oncoming oppression II...

Previously blaming the unjabbed it was Avid-Jabber Javid and Sadiq Khan[t] (amongst others), now it the normally sane Philip Johnston [DT] and, half expected, the leader of the Church of England, the primate of All England. So, will no one rid us of this turbulent priest? No, I am not suggesting anyone murder the latest Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby- his wokeness presiding over the collapse of the faith in the UK (he is not alone in the blame for this) who, in pretending to be a Christian -  said "it's not about me and my rights to choose – it’s about how I love my neighbour" [Independent], no Justi-babes, it really isn't. he thinks I am immoral. He said the same thing at the beginning of the year [Reuters] about getting the jab, back then you could forgive the ignornace, not now. 

I turn your attention to The Blogmire and Rob Slane's* excellent blogpost 'The Middle of the Road to Hell'. 

We are accustomed to thinking of great evil as instantly recognisable. From Nuremberg rallies to the squalor of the Gulag, great evil is something obvious and unmissable. Or so we think... 

It really is an excellent piece boosted by pertinent quotes from Vaclav Havel ['An apostle of Friedrich Hayek and Margaret Thatcher...'] and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (how many of the latter's famous quotes are so relevant again now?!) 

"Both Havel and Solzhenitsyn saw the issue very clearly. It is this: we can either stand for truth, or we will get falsehood; we can either retain our integrity, or we will invite deceit."

Rob piece essentially centres on the work by Belgian psychologist, Matthias Desmet re the current mass psychosis. "Amongst his many insights is the idea that totalitarian systems tend to see populations split into three broad groups. Firstly, there are those who are utterly hypnotised by the propaganda. Secondly, those who are not necessarily in thrall to the propaganda, but who nevertheless tend to go along with the demands it exacts on them. And thirdly, those who seem to be not only immune to the propaganda, but who oppose it as they are able."

Amazing this gets repeated all through history: the oft quoted Marcus Tullius Cicero [IEP], two thousand years ago said: "Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the 'new, wonderful good society' which shall now be Rome, interpreted to mean 'more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.'" 

Wow...the 2nd time in a week with a Cicero quote...

* Rob Slane 'dwells in the Country Formerly Known as Great Britain, now known as The Quagmire'. 

Update 1 p.m.: across the pond the lies are similar: Sleepy Joe said "The only real protection is to get your shot."...stop lying POTUS. For those not believing what the Whitehouse has said ("For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.") here is the WH briefing room link.

Omicron outcomes, official ordure...

[Link to Euro News article and image]*

It just keeps coming: politicians spouting shit and causing problems. This time is is Sajid avid-jabber Javid, who says [SKY 'News'] - in an amazing case of non self-awareness -  'accused those unwilling to have the vaccine of having a "damaging impact" on society.' No Jabid, YOU and other LYING politicians and their LYING not very SAGE 'experts' are the ones having that marked effect; "We are watching the data and discussing it with our scientists and our best advisers almost on an hourly basis."...it doesn't matter how often you do it if the data is already skewed the way you want it!

Everything that is going on is based on dodgy models, wrong input and blinkered observation of data. We knew this when they started taking Prof Panic's advice; amazingly, that link is 18 months ago! How time flies when you're enjoying yourself!) but now they are openly admitting their shit-fest [Spectator]

  "if you tweak one assumption (on severity) then — suddenly — no need for lockdown". 

We knew this last year but hey. As per Reg's comment there: Fucking scandalous. 

At last some MSM 'names' are beginning to question the narrative: "...this raises serious questions not just about Sage but about the quality of the advice used to make UK lockdown decisions." 

Another LYING politician is Sadiq Khan, "The really bad news is those in hospital - the vast, vast majority are unvaccinated that's why it is so important to get both the vaccines and the booster jab.". Lies, the data proves him to be wilfully misleading or just fucking lying.

COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report [UK GOV Week 50 pdf] has this: 

By 12 December 2021, the overall vaccine uptake in England for dose 1 was 67.9% and for dose 2 was 62.2%. Overall vaccine uptake in England in people with at least 3 doses was 31.4%. 

Hmmmm, not quite the numbers you expected? Is Khan admitting that if you haven't had the booster you are considered unvaccinated?

I am quite interested in the Danish data which concurs with what I think is happening in the UK:

"Omicron - which continues to appear significantly less dangerous though more transmissible than earlier variants of Covid - has been used as a cover for vaccine failure." 

* re image: don't get me wrong, I know gene sequencing is complicated, costly and time consuming so many countries just won't/can't do it....but really? Also please note: "This article and its accompanying graphics are being regularly updated by our team of journalists. The last update was on December 16."

Omicron outbreak...Oh...

Life continues in Clown world. yes Israel has a very high vaccination rate so any new cases of anything will be mainly in the vaccinated, but hey...get your booster, LOL. Coming to a country near you soon: especially one telling you to rush to get a booster [Metro LINK] "Health Secretary Sajid Javid insisted that the Government will 'throw everything at' the booster programme, with GPs only focusing on urgent needs and vaccinations for the next few weeks."...for something they KNOW won't work against something they KNOW doesn't need it. A virus 'they know very little about' but know "Booster shots up to 75% effective against Omicron" [Yahoo UK] ...really? 

But what's this: "Sadly at least one patient has now been confirmed to have died with Omicron"...[ALJ LINK] says Boris. 

This was inevitable, but what did the patient die of? 

Boris then blows it:"So I think the idea that this is somehow a milder version of the virus – I think that's something we need to set on one side – and just recognise the sheer pace at which it accelerates through the population." ...sorry? What? The idea it is milder? Why do we need to set it to one side? And we all know the 'sheer pace'...so what do you mean BoJo? Not thinking of an excuse for stricter restrictions are you? You have already obliterated any Christmas dinner/drinks trade the pubs might have gotten. 

And a third jab of something we are getting VERY close to knowing causes a death surge?! FFS. Anyway, so now COVID deaths will be OMICRON deaths? 

 The Health Foundation report: What has happened to non-COVID mortality during the pandemic?

"In England, deaths from causes other than COVID-19 have been lower than usual for 80% of the pandemic. In January to September 2021, this was equivalent to about 34,000 (or 9%) fewer deaths than we would expect, based on historical mortality patterns."

"During the pandemic, deaths from eight of the nine leading causes of death in England were lower than usual." 

They have got to keep the numbers hidden somehow, before we see 'behind the curtain'. The longer the politicians keep digging down in the hole they are in, the harder their punishment will be.

"The government is running out of time to stop messing up". "I would dearly love to see Boris grip this mess and turn things around. The time to do it is not much longer." writes UK Member of Parliament Steve Baker, Count the Cost in The Critic. 

I disagree, BoJo the Clown has botched too much. Brexit (almost) is all he has to his name. The rest of the high-tax, open border, green zealotry and lockdown/ mask domestic terrorism is a few bridges too far for me. Steve Baker almost gets there too because before the final sentence posted above he writes: 

It is long past time to finally, openly and honestly count the cost of lockdowns and restrictions and vote no to all these measures. That is the only way to get off this road to the hell of minute and ever changing restrictions on our lives on which the Government has embarked.

And btw, I don't give a toss about the parties they had, it is just further proof that that they don't believe this shit either. 

Why Plan B? And Gove pushing for Plan C?! Show us the data! Well they don't because showing the data makes them look even more like politico-pharma tyrannical misfits. That link, written by 'a senior executive in a pharmaceutical company' ends with a great quote (one of many*) from Spanish philosopher Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás (George Santayana to his mates)

Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.

* A couple more as that Wiki page just reminded me: the omni-quoted "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" and the sad truth about the human race:

"Only the dead have seen the end of war" 

(the latter from Soliloquies in England and Later Soliloquies, readable online [LINK] at The Project Gutenberg eBook).

Oh? OMG! Omicron!!...

The point of the image is at the end of the blog-post...if you can't be bothered with all the great info :-)

So just as the sheeple were thinking the restrictions were a thing of the past, just as news that the lack of problems in most Africa seem to be making the news (there are good logical reasons why), just as you booked your Christmas party...da da daaaahhh.. a new deadly variant pops up, and suddenly all over the place (6-10 countries), and is a "variant of concern", WHO...well, viruses going viral, by the time a variant is identified it will have already spread far and beyond where it was identified. Whoda thunk it? Plus of course the new scary deadly more contagious variant is also in - in fact first detected in - the fully vaccinated. 

Alastair Cavendish (at British Freedom..no, not what you think!) writes of The Ogre: "Every single institution; the House of Commons, the House of Lords, the courts, the police force, the scientific and medical establishment, the BBC and the rest of the legacy media, is rotten beyond redemption. The known rules of ancient liberty are no longer generally known, let alone observed."

... Experience, however, tells me that [politicians] will not. The type of people who seek power, and who are prepared to lie and flatter and backstab their way to it over decades of ignominy are not likely to leave their better-adjusted fellow citizens in peace." 

"The Ogre stalks with hands on hips,
While drivel gushes from his lips..." 

Dare I quote Julia Hartley-Brewer (on Twitter) re Bozo's press conference and the brave honest timid cowed complicit media: "Every sodding question at this press conference is 'why aren't you going further, bringing in more rules?'" 

Also interesting stuff from Michael Curzon, writing on Bournbrook:

"From what we do know so far, this press conference was unnecessary. The ramping up of restrictions, including those relating to masks, is reactionary. But regardless of this, Britons will now be that little bit more scared ...

... whether that be about the ruining of (another) Christmas or a fear of Covid itself, or, of course, both.

Ooh, and by the way – we are told that the measures will be reviewed in three weeks (when the number of Omicron case in Britain will, inevitably, have risen). Do you reckon this review will see restrictions being taken away, or new restrictions being added to the pile?"

Finally, Andrew Lilico in The Spectator: "The tyranny of Boris Johnson’s mask mandate", and don't be fooled, it is very clearly tyranny: "Absent any emergency justification, the imposition on the public is simple tyranny." 

"It is not legitimate to restrict our liberties in this way 'just in case'." 

"The coronavirus emergency is over – and it has been over for months. There is no plausible justification for introducing mask mandates at this time."

The image above suggests SARS CoV 2 has been 'only' endemic for most of this year, certainly positive testing below 5% would suggest that (present but manageable). 

Oh? OMG! Omicron!!...

... Experience, however, tells me that [politicians] will not. The type of people who seek power, and who are prepared to lie and flatter and backstab their way to it over decades of ignominy are not likely to leave their better-adjusted fellow citizens in peace." 

"The Ogre stalks with hands on hips, While drivel gushes from his lips..." 

Dare I quote Julia Hartley-Brewer (on Twitter) re Bozo's press conference and the brave honest timid cowed complicit media: "Every sodding question at this press conference is 'why aren't you going further, bringing in more rules?'" 

Also interesting stuff from Michael Curzon, writing on Bournbrook:

"From what we do know so far, this press conference was unnecessary. The ramping up of restrictions, including those relating to masks, is reactionary. But regardless of this, Britons will now be that little bit more scared ...

... whether that be about the ruining of (another) Christmas or a fear of Covid itself, or, of course, both. Ooh, and by the way – we are told that the measures will be reviewed in three weeks (when the number of Omicron case in Britain will, inevitably, have risen). Do you reckon this review will see restrictions being taken away, or new restrictions being added to the pile?"

Finally, Andrew Lilico in The Spectator: "The tyranny of Boris Johnson’s mask mandate", and don't be fooled, it is very clearly tyranny: "Absent any emergency justification, the imposition on the public is simple tyranny." 

"It is not legitimate to restrict our liberties in this way 'just in case'." 

"The coronavirus emergency is over – and it has been over for months. There is no plausible justification for introducing mask mandates at this time."

The image above suggests SARS CoV 2 has been 'only' endemic for most of this year, certainly positive testing below 5% would suggest that (present but manageable).
