• Russian Roulette

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to ALL on Thursday, December 30, 2021 15:37:05
    Hello Everybody,

    The government of Israel is pushing for a fourth booster shot.
    Despite warnings from scientists that doing so is not a good idea.
    Not a good idea at all. And yet, the Israeli government is intent
    on carrying out its mad plan.

    It is not just Israel which is doing this. The USA is also doing
    the same, although currently only on its third booster shot. As are
    other countries around the world, continuing to administer covid-19
    vaccines.

    We all know that lockdowns ravage economies, and the shots ravage
    our bodies. So why do governments continue to enforce these insane
    rules on their own populations?

    Further lockdowns and vaccine shots. That is what governments want.
    Whether right-wing, left-wing, or whatever. The solution is always
    the same.

    Less than 1% of vaccine adverse effects have actually been reported.
    Do you know why? Most people who died after vaccination died at home
    or in the car.

    What that means is far more people have died from adverse effects
    of covid-19 vaccines than has been reported.

    Now think about this -

    If an individual person survived two shots of a covid-19 vaccine
    without inducing autoimmune organ damage, can they survive a third
    shot or a fourth? Keep `em coming, we can take it! Gimme the jab!
    Gimme the jab! Keep on poking me until I am dead!

    Oh, my. It's a conspiracy. Lefties want to kill us. Lefties
    want to kill us all.

    "Danger, Will Robinson, danger!"

    You have been warned.

    People keep saying its just like the flu vaccine, which is a lie, or at least, a grave misunderstanding. You don't need to take the flu vaccine four times in a single year in order to keep your job.

    Somewhere, the risk/benefit trade off swings the other way I think when taking "booster" after "booster" (Boosters are the exact same vaccine, we would be more honest if we just said you had to be revaccinated, instead of getting a "booster").

    I am basing my comments on German pathology reports concerning
    the effects of covid-19 vaccines. You and others can view the same
    at this site -

    Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting Systems

    https://openvaers.com/


    Whatever stuff is inside those tiny vials, it is no vaccine
    against anything. The risks outweigh the benefits, in my opinion.
    Especially since we know so very little about what long-term harm
    those "vaccines" may have done, or are doing, to our bodies.

    Somewhere, the risk/benefit trade off swings the other way I think when taking "booster" after "booster" (Boosters are the exact same vaccine, we would be more honest if we just said you had to be revaccinated, instead of
    getting a "booster").

    According to these pathology reports it is those "boosters" that
    are most dangerous, as they kind of "supercharge" what the first
    vaccines have already done. Kind of like shooting yourself a
    second time after playing a game of Russian Roulette. The first
    time the chances of survival are pretty good, at 5 out of 6.
    The second time at 4 out of 6. How many times will an individual
    continue to get lucky?

    I have had two, with no ill effect, but the third, the fourth, the fifth? The comparisons to the yearly flu jab that people like to make don't hold. With the flu vaccine you don't take 4 shots with in a year.

    And that is indeed the problem, at what point does the risk/benefit ratio then turn in favour of not taking more "boosters"? I really doubt there is nothing to worry about with regards to taking a booster every 4 months.

    Hello Dennis,

    Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting Systems

    https://openvaers.com/


    1,859,633

    Reports of Vaccine Adverse Events in VAERS

    21,002 COVID Vaccine REported Deaths/30,250 Total Reported Deaths

    110,609 Total COVID Vaccine Reported Hospitalization/
    192,203 Total Reported Hospitalizations

    Through December 24, 2021

    Accounts for only 1% of vaccine injuries

    This is just the data.
    Without any commentary.
    The statistics speak for themselves.

    Reactions, side effects, and long-term effects.
    What's the difference?
    Funny that none of those companies that manufacture those
    COVID-19 vaccinations can tell the difference.
    Or maybe they can, but do not want others to know.

    Reactions are normal, and usually occur shortly after an individual
    has been vaccinated and usually lasts no longer than a few hours, or
    days at most. A sore arm, or headache. Nothing more serious.

    Side effects are longer term, and are a reaction to the body that
    is a bit more than what one would call a normal vaccination reaction,
    and are regarded as being more serious, but not permanent.

    There are no long-term effects, as it is impossible to separate
    long-term effects from side effects. After all, it is impossible
    for anybody to determine when side effects will ever stop.

    So what do you know what the long-term effects people have
    from having taken the COVID-19 vaccination(s)? Is it really
    best for people to follow their doctor's advice by getting
    a "booster" shot that may or may not help protect them from
    COVID-19 or its variants?

    The "cure" might very well be worse than the disease.

    Whatever stuff is inside those tiny vials, it is no vaccine
    against anything. The risks outweigh the benefits, in my opinion.
    Especially since we know so very little about what long-term harm
    those "vaccines" may have done, or are doing, to our bodies.

    Somewhere, the risk/benefit trade off swings the other way I think when
    taking "booster" after "booster" (Boosters are the exact same vaccine, we

    continue to get lucky?

    --Lee

    I have had two, with no ill effect, but the third, the fourth, the fifth?

    Why not? Natural immunity lasts at least six months. With no
    vax needed. Or any permanent danger caused by manmade versions.
    The difference being that manmade versions can be scheduled.
    No more randomness involved. Get the jab, be sick for a day or
    two. And after your sore arm and headache have gone away you
    can go back to work.

    The comparisons to the yearly flu jab that people like to make don't hold. With the flu vaccine you don't take 4 shots with in a year.

    Nobody had to take time off work in order to get a flu shot.
    And even with COVID-19 vaccines available, those same flu shots
    are still available. What we will probably wind up doing is have
    shots once a month for the rest of our lives. Not sure if we are
    brave enough to do that once a week. But once a month might be
    doable.

    Anyway, there is nothing to worry about. According to those in
    the know, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Except a few
    problems, such as inflammation of the heart. And a few other minor
    things.

    See there? One can never be sure about anything in this messed up
    world of ours. And it really is a truly messed up world.

    "There is no evidence that reactions can occur at a later stage."
    ~ A spokesman for Pfizer, quoted in the above article

    Telling people that reactions "cannot occur at a later stage" than
    a few days after an individual has been vaccinated is a bunch of
    horse manure. But those spokespersons have been taught very well by
    their masters as to what to tell the general public.

    And that is indeed the problem, at what point does the risk/benefit ratio then turn in favour of not taking more "boosters"? I really doubt there is
    nothing to worry about with regards to taking a booster every 4 months.

    Inflammation of the heart muscle is a long-term effect of the
    covid-19 vaccines. Especially in regards to the so-called "booster"
    shots. That is what has been shown by German pathology reports.
    But Dr. Fauci will never tell you that. The CDC will also never
    tell you that. The FDA will also never tell you that.

    What do you think will happen when your heart is no longer
    strong enough to pump the blood that circulates through your
    system?

    You really shouldn't help spreading anti-vaxxer propaganda. Have you read the disclaimer on the website? And I mean the *real* VAERS site, not that by some stupid (GOP?) conspiracy theorist.

    https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html

    Just google "VAERS hoax" and you'll get lots of examples and explanations of how some people don't understand the data and then present their misunderstandings as proof.

    Statistics has always been hard for the uneducated to accurately interpret -- hence the saying about the three kinds of lies...

    Fact: The C-19 vaccines that originate from the German company BioNTech (most notably Pfizer and Moderna -- the only two that are used in Sweden BTW) are of a type mRNA. It's *not* the usual, old type with a reduced version of the disease, that can cause side effects, living in it. Read more about this revolutionary discovery here:

    Here is the important point. Are we safer with it, or without it. I would think, for the most part, the balance is in favour of vaccines. As I once said to an anti-vaxxer years ago (they were actually anti-vax), "If EVERYTHING you say about vaccines is true, it is STILL better than the 50% child mortality and disease we used to have".

    Its complicated, because you have to weigh up other risk-management techniques such as quarantine, lockdowns, distancing etc, but even if the vaccine is directly responsible for, lets say for argument, 5,000 deaths, if as a result 1,000,000 did NOT die, is that not still better?

    I posture a similar argument when persons say that the vaccine is only 60% (or what ever number) effective.

    Surely that is 60% better than not having it?

    Hello Bj”rn,

    Reports of Vaccine Adverse Events in VAERS

    You really shouldn't help spreading anti-vaxxer propaganda. Have you read the disclaimer on the website? And I mean the *real* VAERS site, not that by some stupid (GOP?) conspiracy theorist.

    https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html


    I got it from the same guy who says high cholesterol is good for you.
    So whatever he says has to be credible. But hey. Don't take my word for
    it. Just look at Donald J. Trump and how trim and fit he is. That is
    what high cholesterol does to a person that age.

    Just google "VAERS hoax" and you'll get lots of examples and explanations of
    how some people don't understand the data and then present their misunderstandings as proof.

    Taking horse medicine prevents COVID-19. Africans have been taking
    it for years in order to get rid of the worms in their drinking water.
    The added benefit of it making them immune from COVID-19 is a plus
    for them that should be noted by the rest of the world. But our
    experts in the health fields will not allow us to take that stuff,
    on fake claims that it would kill us.

    Statistics has always been hard for the uneducated to accurately interpret -- hence the saying about the three kinds of lies...

    How to lie with statistics. Somebody wrote a book about that.
    Put it online for free so everybody could read it without cost.

    Fact: The C-19 vaccines that originate from the German company BioNTech (most notably Pfizer and Moderna -- the only two that are used in Sweden BTW) are of a type mRNA. It's *not* the usual, old type with a reduced version of the disease, that can cause side effects, living in it. Read more about this revolutionary discovery here:

    Whatever happened to good old-fashioned American ingenuity?
    Didn't America save the world a few times? Aside from Superman?

    Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

    Just think what the world would be like had Superman been German.

    That's an easy one. It all amounts to IP (intellectual property) theft. Usually in the form of patent trolls.

    "What's in it for me" is the capitalist mantra, not "what can I do for my country" -- or even humanity.

    Remember the guy who refused to patent his discovery of penicillin? Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming refused to patent it, he wanted it to benefit the entire humanity. Do you think a US scientist would ever do such a thing?

    A US /scientist/ might very well try. But his/her boss or the boss of his/her boss would see to it that it gets patented anyway. One way or another.

    Maybe. But the fact of the matter is, that almost every new discovery comes from taxpayer funded universities (socialism) -- including the revolutionary mRNA discovery.

    One way or another, all those discoveries seem to quietly slide away into some corporations, more often than not created by one or more of the involved scientists. Not only in the US...

    Ah well, as we all know, socialism is evil, egotism is the new God.

    "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Long forgotten, wise words from a former POTUS with great speech writers.

    Its complicated, because you have to weigh up other risk-management techniques
    such as quarantine, lockdowns, distancing etc, but even if the vaccine is directly responsible for, lets say for argument, 5,000 deaths, if as a result > 1,000,000 did NOT die, is that not still better?

    I posture a similar argument when persons say that the vaccine is only
    60% (or what ever number) effective.

    Surely that is 60% better than not having it?

    Two factors to consider.

    60% of what? If you are young, healthy, that is 60% of a very, very low number anyway.

    Secondly, are there any other risks which are increasing. By mitigating one risk (COVID-19), are you introducing any new ones?

    Everything should be Open Source.

    Many things about vaccination now are in the field of psychiatry. For instance, crazy guys demand Jokovich to be expelled from Australia Open because he is not vaccinated, even when he had proved he is well and
    sound using multiple PCRs, which is a scientific mean of diagnostic.

    Has he had "multiple PCR tests"? That is not being reported here.

    Now PCR test is a usual and reliable practice when somebody want to
    enter in any country of the world. BTW, many countries ask PCR even for vaccinated people and it is a right thing to do, because vaccinated
    people are sick with covid in easy form, and they never go to the
    hospital because of it. And they are covid viruse containers.

    As for "several" -- the best way to be sure about a man safety is to
    make PCR several times, it done in the latest Olympics games for instances.
