The collateral damage is starting to pile up. So many delayed serious illnesses diagnoses (or never diagnosed), untreated chronic illnesses, death from depression and loneliness, suicides, drug OD, permanent delayed development and on and on. It’s going to be an avalanche….. IF it is honestly tracked and reported. Well, it’ll be a catastrophe either way…. just will we know the full extent. I called this (and many others likely) way back in April 2020. It was obvious for anyone who was willing to THINK.

It will not be reported on honestly in this country I can tell you that. We will have to look to more serious nations to get an idea of what is happening. The USA has ceased to be a serious nation. It is now just a corrupt, bloated government monstrosity that’s only purpose is to keep those rich and powerful in there perches.

Yes, a dear dear woman, beautiful soul, excelling in a vocation she loves, raising a tiny boy.....misdiagnosed with ovarian cancer until it was too late. Palliative now. Days or weeks left. Doesn't want to be remembered as having fought a battle with cancer but wants it to be known THE TREATMENTS DID NOT WORK.

Not enough research for ovarian cancer; using 30 year old treatments.

We grieve.....individually but collectively as well. 💔

My heart is heavy as I read this..women think paps identity ovarian cancer as well and not true. Just watched a Tucker TODAY interview of a doctor/surgeon/scientist. His wife had the same pedigree & was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian C. What I did not know is the standard practice when a woman has cysts the docs rotor rooter these cysts KNOWING a minority are Cancer & not benign. The procedure spreads the once contained cancer through out the body & almost immediately have Stage 4 genealogically based Cancer. They fought with the FDA etc to get this practice stopped. She has since passed

I'm wondering if the excess deaths are because of the lockdowns or from heart attacks/strokes from the vaccines OR something entirely different.

I'd be interested in seeing a breakdown of causes of deaths and which are higher than usual. That will tell more what's going on.

Expand full comment

The problem is that cause of death is so much more complicated that most people realize. It isn't so simple to determine a singular cause of death in most cases. A heart attack could be caused by lockdowns, lack of exercise, unhealthy consumption of food and drugs, failure to go to the doctor - OR it could be a vaccine side effect. How would you know? The reason why all-cause deaths is such a powerful indicator of whether we are doing something right is that it doesn't require anyone to determine a singular cause of death. It tells you on a broad scale if things are generally being done right. Imagine an extreme hypothetical case where a vaccine caused people to black out and not recall it. This might show up in an increase in car accident deaths. The only way to know that the vaccine was causing problems would be overall mortality statistics.

They will never admit that it is the vaccines.

Expand full comment

They might genuinely not know it is the vaccines. Perhaps a few years from now, we might have enough data to understand exactly what the breakdowns were. Did places with higher vaccination levels have lower mortality than places with lower vaccination levels? This type of data is not easily available in real time. The only thing we can suppose is that if the vaccines were a miracle, life saving treatment then we should see some sort of improvement in overall mortality. So far, we just do not see that anywhere that we have even a bit of data. We don't have anything definitive as of right now but it is important to keep an eye on this overall mortality because it is the one statistic that cannot be faked. You are either dead or not. The cause of death can easily be obfuscated.

... and, before Shakespeare, there was the Isaiah 5:20 "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." [NIV 1984]

Question: if "they" achieve something very, very close to 100% vaccination levels, won't they lose the unvaccinated as a "control group" and no one will *ever* prove or disprove that the vaccines contributed to the death-tolls?

Look at the State of Vermont right here in America . They was one of the firsts in the USA to get everyone fully Vaccinated .Cases and deaths are up higher than this time last year across the board long before we had one person Vaccinated . All that we hear From Biden , Fauci , Collins , CNN and Chris Cuomo . Is to get Vaccinated this is the only way we can get out of this . Get Vaccinated it is free if you are not Vaccinated you are the problem . We will never get out of this with CNN Chris Cuomo , in charge .

If you heard Biden yesterday, he has promised over a billion doses of Pfizer to the rest of the world. I have this sick fantasy of watching the lame stream media anchor's faces as they report on how the vaccine has no efficacy. The ivory tower germaphobes who get everything sanitized by their masked underlings before touching it will be soiling themselves. Well, now that I said it out loud I am sure I am a bad person but they have inflicted a lot of pain on the nation with their lies and fear campaign so I guess I can have my fun with their fragility.

From the Dallas Morning News about the sad death of a 66 year old school teacher, who had "done everything right". 75% of the way through the article, it reads:

"Wise had posted on social media that she was fully vaccinated by March. (Her Facebook page was largely made private by the family after interview requests from The News.) She wrote that she had taken an additional preventive step, getting a third vaccine shot just days before she became ill.

Arndt, her sister, wrote that Wise got sick not long after her third shot, and that her health deteriorated rapidly after a few days of flulike symptoms. A doctor confirmed to the family that she had COVID-19 before getting her third vaccine, Arndt wrote."

She isn’t the only one. I imagine most of the older folks that succumbed to the delta were fully vaccinated.

Expand full comment

Getting vaccinated makes one at seriously high risk for at least a week - check out Gibraltar detailed data. It killed thousands in nursing homes.

If she HAD Covid when she got vaccinated that was her worst option. Getting monoclonal antibodies would have likely worked.

She died? That's sad :(

When I first read the story the family was crediting the vaccine for saving her life.

The cumulative effect of Lockdowns would have happened even with 100% effective vaccine.Outside of some Pentecost type feelings of “it’s a miracle “ (cue a very snarky Bill Gates recent interview) Worldwide even the come down from that would have been depressing.But nothing is happening,the entrenched Vaccine Cult is completely out of ideas outside of blaming others and doing what didn’t work beforehand.Really different feeling going in Autumn 2021 in Northern Hemisphere.

I'm trying in vain to communicate some of the problems with these vaccines with health professionals who are otherwise more on the integrative/holistic side of things, and it's surprising how few of them are aware of the pitfalls. One of them told me today he only wanted to see peer-reviewed texts, which to me is really limiting your view of the world, never mind that peers mean people and people are always fallible. Ultimately people are going to have to witness some of the carnage first hand before they are willing to admit there might be a problem.

Agreed, if percentages were same between vaxxed & unvaxxed. According to the head of the testing lab, they are not. As Alex has pointed out, time will tell and there's nowhere to hide at this point.

Expand full comment

I wonder if any analysis would also have to measure whether the individuals actually did postpone medical treatment and testing. There may be a higher percentage of the unvaccinated who went ahead and got their regular medical treatment and testing because they were less likely to follow the panic mode. For example, I did not postpone any of my regular check ups and tests but I have friends who postponed everything out of fear. Those friends are also the ones most likely to snap up vaccines and boosters.

3 months ago my wife slipped a disc in her neck. It stunk. She saw several doctors, each one trying to get her on all these crazy meds. She finally got into see a top specialist in our area. His advice? Let it heal naturally.

Expand full comment

One of the most important lessons of healing is to relax (as much as possible) when you go through pain. It isn't a sign that something is wrong, it is a sign that things are getting better.

Obviously that doesn't mean that you should never ever get intervention (if I'm in pain from being shot, I would be visiting a hospital) but if you wake up with a sore back or sore neck etc, then just accept that your body is undergoing a necessary (albeit unpleasant) rehabilitation. That's not to say you should never ever take analgesics - just as long as you remember that reducing the pain = delaying the healing.

Western medicine is great for triage (when you break an arm to be overly simplistic). Holistic treatments will keep the systems working in good balance so you can recover from the triage incidents.

My sister just had an ear infection, the drops were $300 & her insurance wouldn’t cover. I told her to buy some garlic ear oil. That was the end of it. Most things don’t require a “medical intervention”, the body just needs some extra support to actually *heal*. I hope your wife’s neck is better 👍

When the response by the authorities to an individual who tests positive is to go home with no treatment offered that often results in complications eventually necessitating hospitalization followed by death, perhaps it is no surprise what the authorities in Scotland are seeing. Perhaps that is not the Scottish way but it seems to be how we mostly 'take care of' those testing positive in this country.

Naomi asked "Are people having to wait longer to get care for cancer, surgeries, other diseases?"
