Michael Sternbach Posted December 19, 2020 Covid-19 vaccination getting linked to the establishing of "digital identity": https://www.biometricupdate.com/201909/id2020-and-partners-launch-program-to-provide-digital-id-with-vaccines What a surprise...

Michael Sternbach Posted December 22, 2020 Naturally, for the layperson lacking specialized medical knowledge, it is rather difficult to evaluate whatever the high priests of the medical community proclaim, so most will simply follow along with the crowd. It is to be welcomed that there are at least a few courageous experts who call attention to what doesn't add up in the official pandemic narrative and moreover who do so in a way that anybody interested can follow. Dr. Tom Cowan is one of them. He presents his view on what is actually going on in numerous Youtube videos, both on his own and in discussion with other experts. The following one highlights little known facts, in particular that SARS-CoV-2 has never been isolated, much less proven to be the actual cause of covid-19. For those of you whose gut feeling tells them something is off and who therefore like to ask for a second opinion, Dr. Cowan is the man to seek out. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Sternbach Posted January 5, 2021 While everybody should be entitled to making their own choice regarding getting one of the new vaccines or not, I believe such choice should be based on a thorough understanding of arguments pro and con, not on ignorance thereof. Alas, there is too little public discussion of the 'con side', the mass media being instrumental to getting as many as possible into the large-scale vaccination programs. On the critical side (all too often attributed to conspiracy crackpots prone to acting irresponsibly), I found some well-referenced material in German, however, it took me some time to come up with something satisfactory in English. In the following video, Dr James Lyons-Weiler particularly emphasizes the risk of autoimmune disorders occurring in reaction to vaccine jabs. This is consistent with other material that I have reviewed. Enjoy. https://odysee.com/@SGalan:1/Dr-James-Lyons-Weiler-Discusses-Vaccines,-Testing,-and-Damage:7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bindi Posted January 5, 2021 Dr James Lyons-Weiler is not an authority I would take too seriously after a quick search of his name: Video shared on Facebook inflates risk of Moderna vaccine 40-fold IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT Moderna’s data shows that 0.5% of people had a serious adverse reaction. See the sources for this fact-check Social media posts are spreading an inaccurate claim about the safety of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine. With the headline, "Do not take the vaccine," a video post published Dec. 6 features James Lyons-Weiler giving this dire assessment of the Moderna vaccine trial data. "21% of people are having serious adverse events from this vaccine," Lyons-Weiler says in the video. The clip is originally from Oct. 20, when Lyons-Weiler, head of the private group Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge, spoke at a PA Medical Freedom press conference. Lyons-Weiler’s number is more than 40 times too high. The video has been shared widely on Facebook in the last two weeks and was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. The data Moderna submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reports that out of 15,184 who received the vaccine, 82 had a serious adverse event (see page 32). That is a tiny percentage. "Serious adverse effects possibly related to the vaccine were equally rare in both groups — vaccine and placebo — at about 0.5%," said Shiv Pillai, Harvard University’s Immunology Program director. "There was no difference between the vaccine and placebo groups." The FDA briefing paper on the vaccine said it found no patterns to indicate that the vaccine caused these adverse outcomes. We reached out to Lyons-Weiler and had not heard back by the time we published. We did find reference to 21% in a preliminary safety assessment of the Moderna vaccine in November that included a higher dose (250 micrograms) than is used today (100 micrograms). Only 14 people received two doses at the higher level, and three of them — 21% — had a systemic reaction that was judged to be serious. Systemic reactions include fever, headaches and muscle pains. In this study, they were not life-threatening. No one who got the 100 microgram dose had a serious reaction. That preliminary study said that "no trial-limiting safety concerns were identified." An FDA panel recommended the vaccine for emergency use authorization. Our ruling A video shared on social media says that 21% of people getting the Moderna vaccine had a serious adverse reaction. The actual number is .5%. That was the same level for the placebo group. There is no indication the vaccine caused any of these serious events. We rate this claim False. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/dec/18/blog-posting/video-shared-facebook-inflates-risk-moderna-vaccin/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C T Posted January 5, 2021 I find it rather curious (& humorous, to an extent) that all of a sudden more & more countries are hopping on the vaccine bandwagon, with all claiming efficacy when just a couple of months ago the jittery global public were being told a safe working vaccine was still not certain for another number of months. Considering the complex logistics of storage & distribution, something I'd imagine cannot be ironed out in a short space of a couple of months, and considering the quantity of vaccines thats going to be flowing out everywhere, I've been asking myself the question if working vaccines were not already developed much earlier, and held back from being announced due to storage facilities and other logistical issues being un-readied at the time. I mean, every country that wants vaccines are also countries that need to build sophisticated systems to keep the vaccines stable, and one would imagine this is no simple task. How would they know what to build, assuming there was no data available then regarding the nature of vaccines thats going to be rolled out? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Sternbach Posted January 5, 2021 It normally takes 8 to 12 years for any new vaccine to be approved; the shortest case ever (prior to the pandemic) having been 4.5 years. Procedures have been extremely condensed in the current instance and usual safety protocols have been invalidated. At the same time, manufacturers were freed from liability. It is simply not possible to know what side effects these vaccines may have, especially in the long run. All the more, since the very type of vaccine now widely distributed has never been approved for use in human medicine before. According to the peer reviewed medical literature, it cannot be ruled out that DNA based vaccines lead to genetic alterations. The exact ramifications of that are unforeseeable, but potentially include various severe illnesses. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those are the new types such as the one's marketed in the US by both Pfizer and Moderna that have never been used or investigated before outside of cancer research. There's a good overview of the different types in this article: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/science/coronavirus-vaccine-tracker.html I agree with you that we can't know the long-term consequences for either type though. With mRNA vaccines I would be concerned with possible immune system or epigenetic effects. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Auto-immune reactions are probably a concern with either type. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Altered DNA' claims The fear that a vaccine will somehow change your DNA is one we've seen aired regularly on social media. The BBC asked three independent scientists about this. They said that the coronavirus vaccine would not alter human DNA. Please note that I was specifically referring to DNA vaccines (not to mRNA vaccines, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine), several of which are currently in the clinical testing phase for use as a prophylactic against covid-19. In the case of DNA vaccines, it indeed cannot be ruled out that the foreign DNA locally alters the genome, as numerous researchers wrote in peer reviewed journals in recent years. This could, for instance, lead to the activation of oncogenes or deactivation of anticarcinogenic sequences, causing cancer tumors to develop years later. Such local alterations are extremely hard to identify and will most likely show themselves only by the outbreak of the disease they triggered. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S222116911530366X?via%3Dihub https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17058502/ https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/hv.28077 Very similar concerns have been raised regarding viral vector vaccines (especially DNA viruses). The Oxford-AstraSeneca vaccine belongs into that latter category, as it's based on a genetically modified chimpanzee adenovirus. That kind of vaccine comes with similar long-term risks like aforementioned DNA vaccines due to its integration into the cell nucleus before the body would start producing the desired antigens. See Patric U. B. Vogel: COVID-19 - Suche nach einem Impfstoff, Springer Spektrum Akademischer Verlag, Wiesbaden, p. 24. Note that no less than 2.4 billion doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine had been preordered worldwide already by october 2020 (when it was still in the testing phase) and that its clinical application began about a week ago in the UK.

themiddleway Posted January 11, 2021 Seen as the whole world is going down for the mass jab this is a evidenced based article on the vaccines that have been approved; though i can't help but wonder how Wuhan achieved equilibrium with the virus without a vaccination, as that is now deemed impossible by Western Health Officials... oh and take away point : ''None of these studies tell us whether the vaccines are safe and effective for children. It would be unethical to start vaccinating children without first having made sure that it’s safe, especially considering that the risk to children from covid is infinitesimal. The same applies to pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with immune disorders, and people with severe allergies. If you belong to one of these groups, you should probably think extra long and hard before getting vaccinated, because these groups were not represented in the studies, and it is therefore not clear that the benefits outweigh the harms'' https://sebastianrushworth.com/2021/01/10/are-the-covid-vaccines-safe-and-effective/ 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats a post hoc fallacy, there is no evidence that lock downs work, top four in deaths per million are Belgium, Italy, Slovenia, Peru...

What other factors would affect mortality rates other than lockdowns ? A list below : Population Size Age Demographics Overall Health Level Overall Medical Care Quality & Availability (to all, not just those who can pay) Quality of Elderly Care Overall Economy Level of “Industrialization” Birth Rate Quality, Level and Availability of Education Proportion migrant population Population Density Cultural / Socioeconomic Interaction Patterns Behavioral Patterns Family Structure Previous Flu Season Season/Latitude Excellent analysis here: https://softwaredevelopmentperestroika.wordpress.com/2020/08/06/the-simplistic-explanation-to-covid-impact-the-strategy/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) It works for us . It works for me . I have been doing it for over 5 years .... every time a 'flue' is about, I haven't had anything like that since . But I live a 'hermity' life style , so little difference . My view is , if I am not near infected persons and things I am unlikely to catch what is spreading . I am not saying it is the ONLY thing that has kept our numbers low . here is how I see Australia generally in light of the above ; Population Size - low Age Demographics - Average 37 Overall Health Level - majority good - ( except in areas of high indigenous population ) Overall Medical Care Quality & Availability (to all, not just those who can pay) - good Quality of Elderly Care - medium to good Overall Economy - small Level of “Industrialization” - low ( except for mining ) Birth Rate - declining ( 12.720 births per 1000 people ) Quality, Level and Availability of Education - good Proportion migrant population - nearly everyone . Population Density - 3 / sq Km . ( but in urban centres 903 / sq. Km - vast areas are unsettled so it effects the average ) Cultural / Socioeconomic Interaction Patterns - Mostly people listen to health professionals, including the government , not so many nutters ) Behavioral Patterns - socially isolated areas show low numbers , where people congregate higher . Melbourne , known as a more cultural place ( theatre, the arts, events, festivals, food, etc ) as outbreaks . Family Structure - a mix of solid extended families, mostly with European origin families and a version of 'nuclear family' for the rest . Previous Flu Season - 2nd last bad one was 2017 but Last year, Australia experienced its worst flu season on record, with more than 310,000 people presenting to hospital and health services nationwide. The figure is seven times greater than Australia's previous 18-year average Season/Latitude - Came on in summer , spiked in winter died off after winter / Latitude - Australia is the fastest moving continent in the world ..... so I will have to check first https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-28/aust-latitude-longitude-coordinates-out-by-1-5m-scientists/7666858 10 . 41' 26" - 43, 28' 30" Lets flip it up into the same position in the North Edited January 12, 2021 by Nungali Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
