And I live there. I had covid and my green passport has been revoked because I won't get the "vaccine". Everyone here is running for their third. Thank you Alex for keeping me sane and on the right path!

Like Harvard Business School, almost 100% vaccinated and had to stop in person classes because of a COVID outbreak !! Maybe 110% will work?!?!

This proves the vaccine kills more people than it saves...This is the only way to get a negative result!

Not a randomized controlled trial. RCTs show vaccines effective over a broad range of ages.

Expand full comment

Actually,the so called RCTs were fudged at best, the Absolute effectiveness in all the trials indicate less than 2% effect in preventing Covid between vaccine groups and control groups. Relative effectiveness is a useless measure.

Expand full comment

By absolute effectiveness, you mean you take include people who haven't got the bug? So, a cancer cure is no good if it cures half the cancers, because most people didn't get cancer during the two month study? Don't like your medical school either.

Conclusions from the study: "This suggests some waning of immunity, albeit still providing protection for individuals without comorbidities. However, a third vaccine dose may be needed, particularly in individuals with risk factors for severe COVID-19. Appropriate use of masks, especially in high-risk settings is advised."

The conclusions don't seem to indicate any changes are likely...

The conclusions seem utterly unrelated to the data presented in the paper.

This is sadly not unusual in many scientific papers. The investigators perform pretzel logic to declare "Black in white." See Gary Taubes' book "Good Calories, Bad Calories" to see how for many nutritional studies the data indicates the exact opposite of the conclusions presented in the papers.

Perhaps if people try harder to believe they work, they'll have a placebo effect? In all seriousness, such effects can be real; is declining belief in efficacy a factor in declining efficacy?

..get a fourth dose...no, wait! fifth dose...no, wait! get IV drip attached with vaccine! Now you're good.

Expand full comment

So Israel no longer recognizes infection-conferred immunity? Alex’s write-up seems to suggest that those who previously had Covid can no longer get the green pass unless they get one dose of the vaccine. Is that new just since they required the booster?

Expand full comment

Yes, to be "green passed" the naturally recovered need one shot ( for now). Even though it is Israeli studies that confirm robust immunity from Infection!! They don't want to hurt any ones feelings.

Expand full comment

Feels like they want everyone with immunity from prior infection to be vaccinated to make the vaccinated reporting look better or because they don't want the naturally immune stats to put vaccine immunity to shame.

Expand full comment

This is an excellent point! I didn’t think of that. But weren’t there some studies that came out that said the vaccine erased the natural immunity when given after infection?

Yes, I have heard of those studies as well. So idk. Just spitballing. Who knows what will happen tomorrow, much less what will prove true in 6 months. I sure miss 2019.

ADE. We’re there. No reason to expect anything different in US this fall/winter, so expect a bad one. Fauci has pivoted to doom/gloom recently too to prepare us but not for this reason bc he won’t utter the unutterable…massive vaxing + ADE = disaster. Throw HC labor shortages onto the fire bc nurses and orderlies will walk rather than get a mandated vax and it’s gonna be epic bad.

There was a saying in medical school: “those that can do, and those that can’t teach”. I think that’s overly simplistic but in this case I would modify it to “those that can do, those that can’t become directors of public health agencies”.

I really like how he sounds demonically excited that we'll be looking for ADE to be "interspersed" while the trials are going on...Good thing we're still in them and will be until May 2023 (Pfizer), Jan. 2023 (J&J), late Oct. 2022 (Moderna).

I'm personally using this chart of estimated "natural" immunity in my state. I no longer use the vaccination rate in anything it just skews things. We are at about 45% and so I'm expecting a bad winter because those states which did get a lot of people vaccinated will probably get sicker too...

Hey, I went to the link and tried the chart, but I can't understand the date spread. I read the preprint and skimmed the full document but still can't figure it out how to interpret the bottom figures on the graph which I assume are dates. Can you explain?

Expand full comment

I'm not sure we're seeing full blown ADE yet. As I understand it, in an ADE scenario, the more healthy would also be at higher risk because their immune systems are more efficient, which in this case would increase replication rate. So far the healthy staff people were not particularly affected.

Perhaps this is a milder enhancement effect caused by antibodies waning at different rates, and the waning is faster in the older demographics. (This was pre booster rollout)

The ADE I am worried about would arise from virus spike mutations that escape the neutralizing RBD antibody coverage, leaving other enhancing antibodies still able to bind.

But Biden tells us that covid will go away with 97% vaccinated. We just need to look at Israel to see the supreme failure of it all. It’s worth noting that now in WA state, healthcare workers, firefighters, state workers are now being fired based off them being unvaxxed. Yet so many of these folks say the reason they haven’t vaxxed is cuz of natural immunity. They be the ones not testing positive when exposed and yet their vaccinated coworkers are getting and spreading the virus on their hospital floors. But it’s the unvaxxed with natural immunity getting fired. We are about to have a huge healthcare crisis on our hands in WA. Not from Covid, but from idiot policies to fire anyone who hasn’t taken the jab. Oh and religious exemptions at Peace Health in the area have ALL been rejected.

My husband and I live in WA as well. We had Covid way back in March 2020, fully recovered thanks to a daily regimen of vitamins and supplements, have refused vaccines and are now being excluded from all social interactions in public places because of it. No sporting events, restaurants, museums, etc. after October 25. Husband will not be able to go the the gym, thereby banning a major effort to stay healthy despite the fact that not a single virus infection has ever been traced to a gym.

Millions think if they get the virus they will die. Media and government did this damage with purposeful scaremongering. Those terrified of dying will never change their minds that this virus did not mean a death sentence for most. The vaccines are not safe for some, and long term may be safe for none. Time will tell the diseases that appear due to vaccines. Now we are going to jab kids and kill some of them unnecessarily. Of course killing babies is widely embraced today as the right of the mother. Why are we vaccinating children? To protect adults? Meanwhile vaccinated are the spreaders in many cases.

Expand full comment

Since when did a vaccine affect anyone other than the person who is vaccinated? Absolutely one of the worst deceptions of the entire vax campaign. I've had numerous vaccines in my lifetime. How many people did any of my vaccines protect? ONLY ONE. A vaccine put into my body only affects ME... no one else. My lack of a covid vaccine endangers not one person.

Expand full comment

I understand your point but it's not entirely accurate. There actually is such a thing as herd immunity with e.g., measles. Your kid's measles vaccine protects the kids that didn't get vaccinated.

Covid shots are totally different and in that case I agree with you completely.

Expand full comment

That analysis falters when the VACCINATED spread the disease. Reducing the numbers who can spread the disease does arrive at herd immunity which is why my mother got us all together for a measles party. We had punch and cake for all our neighborhood. We all stayed home from school until we recovered. The school continued on anyway and was there when we returned. I never heard of any casualties but I was likely too young to understand if there were issues.

Expand full comment

There can be fatal cases of encephalitis due to measles (red measles) and the bigger problem is just the disruption of life for lots of people when an epidemic sweeps through a geographical area. Of course the more cases the more likelihood that there will be fatalities. Rubella (German measles) cause serious birth defects if a pregnant woman catches it in the first trimester. Measles parties (and chickenpox parties) were common when there were no vaccines to create immunity.

However, these mRNA COVID vaccines don't seem to produce a very protective or long-lasting immunity (if they produce actual immunity at all) compared to the older killed or attenuated virus vaccines. They clearly don't engage the immune system in the way that either natural infection or conventional vaccinations do.

Expand full comment

None of those vaccines protected anybody either.

The difference was that doctors won't let people get tested for measles, polio, etc if they're vaccinated.

The covid vaxed are still getting tested so even the official data demonstrates that they don't work.

Biden saying 97% makes me think he is trying to figure out how to force it on everyone in the country. I think the mandates are only going to get worse, unless hospitals, police departments, etc become overwhelmed beforehand because so many are fired for rejecting the shot.

It can go either way, which is what worries me (and presumably many readers here).

Agreed. Twitter noted yesterday that 700,000 have died of Covid. I personally do not believe that stat. Nobody knows that over 800,000 die each year of cardiovascular disease. 700,000 of cancer. Start adding up all those deaths every year and that puts virus in different perspective. The person wearing mask, fretting over virus, that is obese is not at all doing all he/she can to be healthy and reduce risk. I know a 2 guys like this. So obese. Unbelievable smokers. 1 Married to nurse. Frets constantly about virus. They must know being obese is a top risk. Nope.

Their conclusion..."This nosocomial outbreak exemplifies the high transmissibility of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant among twice vaccinated and masked individuals. This suggests some waning of immunity, albeit still providing protection for individuals without comorbidities. However, a third vaccine dose may be needed, particularly in individuals with risk factors for severe COVID-19. Appropriate use of masks, especially in high-risk settings is advised."

I wasn't so prone to being conspiratorial until the CCP and globalist Democrat (same large animal?) had this fortuitous pandemic happen exactly when they needed it to defeat Trump and launch a new phase of their Soros Assisted Collectivist New World Order. Given such profound evidence of a coordinated global misinformation program, I now believe that the virus and the vaccines and the administrative policies around them were designed in fact to prolong the pandemic.

Somewhere deep in the belly of the beast is some documentation connection Fauci, the CCP, DNC, wealthy globalists and their corporatist benefactors, to a bold plan to wreck the world with sickness, death and fear so to leverage the chaos with "help" in the form of more totalitarian control.

Bottom line, allowing those at least risk to get infected (esp. children) promotes herd immunity faster than vaccination. The vaccinated are a huge risk creating even better variants that have potentially more harmful overall effects. We can hope those recovered with natural immunity will retain an ability to stay immune to those newly created variants.

We need to all stop falling for the fraud that everyone is average, and statistical averages apply equally to every individual. They don't. Immunity is is not binary -- immune or vulnerable. Some people are innately more susceptible to bad reactions to infections than others. Likewise, some people respond less to vaccines than others. Good innate immune health requires that our systems function correctly. Likewise, immunity acquired by vaccination also requires good immune health. Vaccines aren't magic potions, imbuing the recipient with a protective force field. It only stimulates the immune system to strengthen defenses against the targeted pathogen. A weakened immune system is more vulnerable to pathogens, and is also less responsive to vaccines.

The important information about the cited Israeli case is not whether he was vaccinated, but what conditions contributed to his immune failure.

The medical industry knows this. The politicization of medical services has driven clinical competence underground. Standards of care are not decided by practicing doctors or nurses, but by bureaucrats they work for, many of whom have decided political obedience is more important than patient success. That is the biggest scandal in American history. The only scandal that can exceed that one is if we allow the perpetrators of this deadly medical fraud to remain blameless.

Either the bureaucrats will be punished, or the rest of us will.

well stated David. Infection is a combination of the inoculum or viral lode, the potency of the virus (virulence) and your immune defenses. Everyone's defense is highly variable. especially with this virus.

If a vaccinated HCW was in the dialysis unit with the patient for longer periods of time - or had the patient cough in his face - it would be a lot worse exposure than just walking by the room.
