It's great to have numbers to show what has been obvious; the vaccines don't work against Omicron. It's insane. Everyone I know who has gotten Omicron has been fully vaxxed and most boosted. Yet, Playwrights Horizons, Carnegie Hall, The Players (club), the University Club, St Thomas Fifth Avenue all require proof of full vaccination, leading those at high risk believe they are safe.

They all have lost my respect.

I work at a university, and they are still requiring the booster shot. I luckily have received an exemption. Talk about losing respect. This is supposedly a world class research center but to question the vax is akin to heresy here. As an unvaccinated minion I am required to test every week and wear a mask at all times. Meanwhile the vaxxed don't need to be tested and don't have to wear a mask. Of course, almost all of them have become sick from Omicron over the last 6 months.

I don't think these people have ever deserved any respect.

The shots were already visibly failing with Delta. Omicron came along at just the right time to take the blame. I think it would be best to just say that the shots have failed against COVID.

At this point these discussions are really antithetical. The COVID shot discussions are flat-earth vs curved-earth, 7 day Adventists vs people who understand the translation of "day" meaning era, etc... You've picked your side and you're going down with the ship. All our focus should be on supporting, voting for, and empowering people who seek truth over being "right," and simply leave those who refuse to live in reality behind. That's what liberty is. They get to decide for them, we should focus on ensuring those we empower are people worth empowering. The shot itself is irrelevant at this point.

Except it's not. There are still vaccine mandates in many places and it seems very likely that they will be ramped up again in the fall. In Canada we are stuck with a pro-vax dictator until 2025 - the ones living in reality are the ones who will be left behind here.

I have been a huge supporter or organ donation all my life. My uncle's corneas were transplanted when I was a kid and my father had a heart transplant in 1992.

I disagree - I had a conversation about all of this yesterday with an educated person in academia who had previously gotten the shot herself and for her 7 year old but after our conversation yesterday when I gave her data that has been coming out she is not going to get her 8 month old vaccinated. We still have education to do to those who don't see what we see and read what we read.

I’m glad you reached someone….wish I could tell you the number of people we’ve tried to reach, including the parents of our grandchildren…all vaxxed & boosted. Even though nearly all of them have ended up with covid after vaxx, they still consider us on the wrong side of “science.”

I’d stay connected to that friend’s conscience….the pressure will be on her to have that infant vaxxed.

It's very very difficult to negotiate these family relationships. Of our six grown children only one has been vaccinated - a tech executive, his family and our grandchildren. We all still get along even though we disagree about this but it is difficult. Every person we save by providing good information is worth it. Hopefully the grandchildren will still be able to have kids and will not vaccinate theirs.

Expand full comment

Yes, it's very difficult. My two daughters and families have not been vaccinated, but I know one of my sons has--I don't know about his family--and I don't know about my other son and his wife. We have a good relationship in general, but neither of my sons or their wives has asked our opinion or solicited information, so it's very difficult to broach the subject. I have nieces and nephews who have asked why we're unvaxxed and what information I can send them, but not my own kids. I desperately want to send them the new info on the shots' effects on sperm, because that might actually influence them. Yet I just don't know if that's the right thing to do.

My family and in-law types are all over the place on this issue. I finally reached out to one of my nephews who has young kids that I know recovered from Christmas Covid. They live in NYC and are, at least, I assume , under pressure. I said I did not know their stance but that it was completely unwarranted medically to vaxx those kids. I got a very polite “thanks for your input.” That makes me think “my input” was too late.

Renee, I love it, and not to be a naysayer cuz I really want this person you educated to stay on track, but the hypnotized are VERY hypnotized and still get bombarded with abject lies: I thought I had my wife convinced her vaccines weren't helping her (Im unvaxxed, got Covid 8 months ago, and shrugged it off to her surprise) and my teenage daughters worked on her as well, but a couple weeks later she scurried out to get a booster. I just don't understand how the propaganda has so much power over the little sheep, especially considering how the real facts are pouring out from so many trusted quarters, and the pro-vaxxers are getting dog piled by the truth. Im going to work on pithy phrases that cut to the truth, cuz that is one thing, the only thing, the Left is good at: Wrapping their lies in belittling quotes, cuz it's like high school all over again: the insecure need to be in the "We're better than the unwashed and ignorant" clique; in reality, maybe they shower, but their ignorance is a stubborn stain.

I’m very sorry that you couldn’t convince her not to get the booster. It worked differently here at my house - after my husband felt he was forced to get it for his job - and did it behind my back because he knew that I was fighting for many people to get exemptions (my daughter in college, my daughter who works in a NICU, myself and people who contacted me for help) - when I finally started to have data available that I shared with him -then everyone in the house got Covid including him (and he was the only one Vaxed and did worse than the rest of us) - he said to me “I will never get injected with this neurotoxin again” - I was like - finally!!!! But, I do agree - I think fear or some kind of inability to believe that there is no institution - not gov’t, not CDC, FDA nor church that is looking out for us - they are just following a script and it’s a bad one. They have perfected and practiced the art of emotional manipulation and it’s sickening. I often wonder why I am not caught in the web - I haven’t found that answer yet.

That's very well said, and you're absolutely right. There is certainly still education to do here - my point was that the data isn't changing. All the reports are just iterations of the same reports that have been coming out since the initial trial data from Pfizer showing your risk of death and hospitalization were higher if you were in the "treatment" group than if you were in the "placebo" group. So yes, of course, we should continue to share and educate wherever and however we can - but more (or maybe I should have said equally) important is identifying those who were asking the right questions, and sharing the right data, and most importantly implementing, or not implementing, the right solutions so we can do everything possible to minimize the risk of this disaster happening again because we're all busy talking amongst ourselves while allowing the talking heads to keep getting it wrong without reprisal...

Team reality also knows that this cohort (i didnt even the word meant 1 yr ago...I kept trying to look up the word hort but to no avail....but I digress....) has a 100% chance of having zero significant side effects if they dont get the vaxx.

Speaking of negative efficacy, I’ve been looking over the fda briefings by Pfizer and Moderna, i haven’t seen anyone mention this: Moderna’s own data on obese children finds negative efficacy! It’s so weird because you’d think the one proven high risk group is the obese, so you’d really want to focus on that, if any kids are gonna get dangerously ill it’s the obese ones… yet on Moderna p114, table 59, they find vaccine efficacy for the obese 2-5 year olds as - 15.4% (compared with +40.4 for non-obese). Am I missing something? Shouldn’t this be huge news? I know Moderna writes it’s nothing to worry about since the confidence intervals are so wide, but that of course applies to all their data! Crazy.

Meanwhile the FDA remain total safety nazis about European formula in the midst of a formula crisis, of course: https://gaty.substack.com/p/can-starving-babies-drink-vaccines

Your statement: “The New England Journal, which published it last week, is among the world’s best medical research outlets” might have been true before the pandemic but the editors have significant COI and the papers they have published over the past 2 years have been distinctly biased in favor of the narrative. Further to that the NEJM editors refuse to correct inaccurate data in 2 of the Pfizer papers they published. NEJM has fallen from grace in my book, while the BMJ has risen as an open honest medical science dialog source.

I agree 100%. I used to have the NEJM on a pedestal. I took its word as medical dogma. Until now. That slime bag - Editor-in-Chief

Eric J. Rubin, M.D., Ph.D. Is literally the one who voted for medical experimentation on American children. He stood up and said in the vaccine advisory meeting - “who cares if we don’t have safety data in children, we won’t know if it’s safe until we start mandating it”. And that’s just what he did. He approved COVID vaccines for children based on antibody studies alone. This man is a criminal. If anyone should be up against the ABIM to have their medical license stripped it is this criminal. I will NEVER respect the NEJM or the Lancet ever again.

And then there's the blood supply…many blood banks required vaccination proof during the lockdowns and relaxed somewhat over the latter part of last year. The main one around here seems to pretty much stay at crisis point and they are begging people to donate. We've yet to see anything about possible effects on people who did not get the vaccine, but had to get transfusion(s) from someone who did.

When AIDS first hit—and until COVID—most blood banks would not allow gay people to even donate. You know, "risky" behavior and all—even if monogamous or celibate. Even as more heterosexual people became infected, they were never outright banned from donating unless they were intravenous drug users (who most likely would never volunteer anyway, but I digress).

Each passing day, it seems getting vaccinated with mRNA—whether forced or voluntary--is the riskiest behavior yet. I feel so bad for the kids who've been pushed into it by well-meaning but ignorant parents or schools being forced by "matching federal funds" requiring them to deny attending or participating in extracurricular activities as the bribe.

Blood donation centers where I live have never required the vax. Like everywhere else, they are desperate for donations. I started donating about two years ago, mainly to reduce Iron in my body (blood donation is the most effective way to do this) once every six months. The second time I gave blood was little over 4 months after I had what I was certain was covid-19. I actually told them about this prior to the donation. Some weeks later, I got mail saying they had tested my blood and that I had NO covid-19 antibodies in my blood. This was an eye opener. Either I never got covid-19 or the antibodies you get from it fade within a few months. Of course i refuse the covid-19 shots.

The antibodies aren't that important anyway, your T and B cells remember.

I have IgG SARS COV2 antibodies against the spike protein and against the SARS COV2 Nucleus antigen that are still through the roof from natural immunity that occurred from an (unvaccinated) Delta COVID infection over 8 months ago. If you had COVID you would still have some antibodies show up in your blood. Assuming the lab tested for the correct things which are:

1) SARS COV2 Total Antibody Profile

2) SARS COV2 IgG Ab N protein

3) SARS COV2 Total Ab N protein quantity

4) SARS COV2 Total Ab S protein quantity

I didn’t know you could donate blood if you have hemochromatosis. It’s hereditary in my family, quite a few 1st & 2nd cousins have it (I come from a huge family). Maybe different states have diff requirements.

I guess I’m more worried about some day, if there was a need for blood & not knowing if it’s vaxx tainted.

@RK&TW:

According to the Red Cross, 4.5 million Americans will a need blood transfusion each year.

Applying the Pareto principle, and having worked in health care, a safe bet is that 80% of those folks are repeaters- the chronically ill, who need it regularly, repeatedly, periodically.

So, 0.27% of the population are new recipients each year.

IMHO, in the case of young/first time parents, it does not. Many are simply doing what our disgusting, lying 3-letter agencies are disseminating through the media as "safe and encouraged."

They often cannot speak out--out of fear of losing their jobs--or insurance not paying for services rendered, UNLESS they follow outlined protocols set by government & insurance companies, NOT the doctors. Compound that with actual counter-evidence of vaccine testing & efficacy failures being basically banned in most every form of both traditional and social media; young parents simply aren't exposed to much "truth" about the vaccines. I'm not using "ignorant" as an insult--just as originally intended: trusting and unaware that something they honestly think is helping their child is most probably harming the child long-term, thanks to the lies they've been force-fed.

The way I see it, regarding less severe disease in the vaccinated and boosted……how is it possible to determine this - especially when everyone reacts so differently to the infection? How do they know someone would have been a lot sicker if they didn’t have the jab? It’s all a crap shoot. I have trouble buying into this premise. I think our unique immune systems are more likely what is determining the severity of illness.

Right. We can't say that the vaccinated have a LESS severe infection any more than we can say the vaccinated have a MORE severe infection - I'm so utterly sick of this propaganda, and all of these brainwashed dummies just repeat it because they've heard it so many times. As RFK pointed out in his book, when Pharma introduced an HIV vaccine (that was highly ineffective), this was the same garbage that Fauci spewed about it - that your infection is much less severe if you've been vaccinated.
