Your reporting has really changed my family’s life. Been following you since April 2020. Your HONEST reporting on schools in Europe is the reason why my 9-year-old daughter was put in full-time face-to-face private school last year! She was safe - even though her teacher got Covid and made a quick recovery! She has dyslexia and started the year waaaayyyy behind and is now a little above grade level.
Now she’ll be back again mask free for 4th grade!
Also, my mother is a front line worker - physical therapist in a skilled nursing home who contracted Covid in December 2020. They keep chasing her around for the shot but thanks to your data and reporting, she knows her natural immunity is strong!
The proof is in the pudding. Knowing is objective; thinking is subjective. Has your mother done a covid test to confirm that indeed her antibodies are as robust as she thinks (subjective) it is? Assuming antibodies are robust isn’t an objective measure, a test is.
Paid subscriber here. Also did not receive notice. I suppose it's inevitable substack will start censoring. I'm afraid Alex will have to find another platform
The vast majority of my sub stack emails, from all my paid and unpaid subscriptions, end up in the junk/spam/promotions folders. Have you checked there?
My guess is many of the people who wanted to get vaxxed were mostly in hiding most of 2020 and didn’t get exposed. So now they are susceptible. So far, I have known zero people who have been re-infected with Covid but several who got vaccinated and now have covid. It seems like the people in my area now who are getting it were the ones that mostly isolated until they got the vaccine. Interestingly enough, a nurse friend (who had covid in early 2020) I have keeps testing negative for covid every time she’s exposed yet her vaccinated coworkers are now testing positive and getting actually sick (one is even hospitalized). Now the state of OR has mandated health workers must get the vaccine. My friend now has to decide to get it or lose her job. She sees her vaccinated coworkers getting covid and she’s not… so it makes zero sense to get the vaxx if already infected previously. The world has gone crazy
I really hope she refuses and stands her ground with the rest of us. It won’t be forever since these vaccines will be shown to be the sham that they are.
I can’t help but think “a disease that is overwhelming hospitals so much, that they are threatening to fire 30% of their staff during a shortage”…. Hmmm
To my knowledge even Florida or Texas aren’t overwhelmed with covid19 patients. Do you know of any state whose hospitals are overwhelmed and have a high rate of covid+ patients that are on a vent? Serious question
Many I know have had the same experience - they are unvaxxed, but had COVID before, and have been around a ton of vaxxed people who have gotten COVID post-vax, yet those who have the natural immunity yet to have gotten it again.
My friend who lives in the UK got covid in March 2020. Just 3 weeks ago, she tested positive with covid, along with her kids. She and her kids had high fevers and cough. Her youngest son who is 1 year old was hospitalized for observation and given IV fluids, the higher fever made him dehydrated, but they are all fine now. So, my friend who had COVID got COVID again, what happened with the “robust” antibodies people who had covid are suppose to have? There’s lots of variables that this virus causes, to speculate this virus is the virus of the unvaccinated or that people who got covid can’t get covid reinfection is preposterous.
Or the vaccinated believing they too can’t get reinfection is equally absurd. My husband too got Covid19 in March of 2020, he had fever and cough, I slept with him during all that time, and I didn’t get covid from him, nor from the patients who had COVID during the height of this pandemic that I took care of in my emergency room in NYC, who had the highest cases of COVID deaths. If covid is that contagious…somehow even after sleeping with someone with active covid19; I didn’t get sick. My husband tested for COVID antibodies and he was positive 1 year ago. Now, he refuses to check his level of covid antibodies because he is believing that COVID antibodies are still robust, but he won’t have an objective test to support what he believes, and it drives me batty, since I am an emergency room provider, who believes in objective measures, not on “I think my covid19 antibodies will stay robust forever.” Let’s all agree there’s still much we don’t know and anyone who thinks they know is merely guessing
My ex wife had COVID in 2020, mild case. Got the J&J vax in March, now reinfected with COVID in Brazil. Worse symptoms this time around but not severe.
So are you making the assumption that she had COVID antibodies from her early COVID infection, but by taking j&j, somehow made her vulnerable to COVID reinfection? How about the possibility that her initial infection’s antibodies had already waned down and it made her vulnerable to breakthrough COVID infection. Had she checked her antibodies after 1st COVID infection and they were still robust, and for some unknown and preposterous reason, she still took j&j vaccine, and at some point got breakthrough infection, then you have something to be wary about. But without those objective measures, we can assume her antibodies from initial covid infection waned down. Right?
I am an emergency room provider in NYC and none of my nurses or providers who were vaccinated have had breakthrough infections, and we see lots of patients. All of the positive covid results are from unvaccinated population. I know this information because as part of my assessment, I ask patients if they have been vaccinated or not. All of my positive covid test—once again are from non-vaccinated population. That is so far what is trending in my emergency room
A letter that also came to me via a route like a letter in a bottle.

I'm sorry you're going through this. My husband just got his mandate, no exemptions, and the clock is ticking. Trying to figure out what to do...but definitely do not want the vax. Montana is looking better and better!
Have you seen the intended penalties for anyone utilizing or distributing a fraudulent vax card? (Well, that get caught...) Time in federal prison, pushing for years. YEARS.
Also to add: we've definitely joked about it, but my husband and I really care about being honest people with integrity. And that's why we are all getting screwed... If we were totally OK with being dishonest and gaming the system, there are definite "outs" on this.
Yes my husband feels the same way, doesn’t want me to entertain any wrong ideas, however I still daydream about it because the alternative is so awful!
That's what we thought, but employer is standing firm, stating they are an at will employer. Large healthcare organization that employs over 150,000 employees and they will not be accepting any religious exemptions. (The irony is that it is a "Catholic" company!) Medical exemptions will be approved by a selected committee.
We may be contacting an attorney. This company monopolizes all medical care (hospitals and clinics) in our semi-rural geographic area, meaning that it isn't as simple as "go work elsewhere."
Just the fact that we find ourselves in this situation is disheartening and makes me truly scared. What comes next?
Look....what happens when VAERS explodes..(there are other inputs besides that database you know)...500K adverse affects and ticking. If deaths are really 45K plus according to Thomas Renz esq. whistleblower (prob. a biostat. with privileged Access to the dbase) by ANY METRIC this blows the doors off any vax schedule.
I've been thinking all along with each new report of deaths, "surely this will open up discussion and dialogue." Crickets. How many deaths will it take? 100,000? More?
There is NO certified reference materials for isolated SARS-CoV-2 “covid-19” virus. it does not exist. If that doesn't exist, WHAT THE HELL IS THE EXPERIMENTAL JAB FOR?
Hope you are busy looking for a new job and saving money. You are far better off waiting this out than taking a vaccine now. You can always find another job, you can't unvax once you are harmed.
I need to add that as of this morning there are 10.7m job wanted ads and only 9.4m people out of work and looking for jobs so you should be easily able to find a new job and your employer is stupid to let you go assuming you do good work.
Do you follow Robert Barnes on Locals? In his chat yesterday he said Rel. Exemptions have been getting granted lately esp. after an attorney letter. But he's got some sample letters for employees to use.
We have religious exemptions in Alabama as well. Most commonly (and a yale student was just successful with this too!) it is because of the fact that electively aborted fetal cell tissue is used in the development of vaccines. They use the cell lines from these aborted fetuses. This is in conflict with religious beliefs.
Such as the synthetic pathogen injection becoming frighteningly understood. and the first causality of SARS CoV-2 'covid-19' having never been established since NO certified reference materials for isolated SARS-CoV-2 “covid-19” virus exist. Now the bioweapon or spike is real.
There is a strong case to made that it's the first option, the vaccine is undoing (enough of) natural immunity to increase the number of susceptibles in the population and allow for a third wave. There are many reports of those previously recovered from Covid who (stupidly) got vaccinated, and now are getting infected again (once the high titers of spike antibodies wane, half-life of about 68 days per a Japanese paper on the subject -- levels are nil after about 6 months).
I don't think Delta is all that more transmissible and probably less virulent than the original. You only come up with crazy high transmissibility if you assume the vaccines are lowering transmission. If instead, it's the vaccines have screwed up natural immunity. then this accounts for the new surges.
Look at the infection curve for the US. Worldometers will do. You will see we started vaccinating after the peak of the second wave. We vaccinated into the natural decline of the virus. We were well on our way to herd immunity without a single vaccine being administered. Then, we got a little post-vaccination spike, and it continued to trail off. And now, we're having a third surge.
Look a the curve for India, where vaccination rates are very low. That's the dreaded Delta variant, where it first started. Note they still look like a classic two peak infection curve. They are trailing off, no third spike. They are at herd immunity for Delta with about 67% of the population having antibodies, and natural antibodies.
Finally, look at all the heavily vaccinated countries (UK, Iceland, Israel). Look at their curves. Same third wave behavior, even in Iceland with vaccination rates approaching 90% in the adult population, 75% for the total that includes children too young.
See the full text, Figure 2, chart G. This looks at the change in immune memory profile for those vaccinated after being infected with Covid. Natural immunity plays very little attention to the spike protein. It looks at the N-proteins, which are more conserved across mutations. Your immune system knows a thing or two because it has seen a thing or two over millennia of natural selection fighting viruses.
Vaccination shifts it, lowering the total memory profile and shifting the smaller remainder heavily toward the spike. The spike-only vaccination is quite inferior to natural immunity.
Let me add. You may wonder why Pharma went spike-only. Good question. Why didn't they try N-protein? Because it's very hard. There has never been a successful vaccine against any coronavirus in humans before. They tried with the first SARS. They failed. Trying for the N-protein produced ADE effects, which coronaviruses are bad about. Your natural immune system knows how to do it, but Pharma doesn't.
So they settled on the spike, which they claimed produced no hint of ADE effects (well, maybe a little they now seem to acknowledge).
And, if you read Geert Vanden Bossche, this spike only immunity is not and cannot be sterilizing. You need N-protein recognition for that. And the only way, he says, to get that would be a live, attenuated virus vaccine, which would be very difficult to do safely, and would take decades of research.
Pharma went for a flash in the pan, really a cheap trick that would appear to work over the short term, and hoped it would be enough. It wasn't, and looks like it is making things worse.
The N protein ADE experience as pretext for their design choice is a fig-leaf. Spike protein targeting produced ADE in previous research as well. There seems to be no reason to imagine that IgE over-sensitization-based ADE cares which protein is sensitized for. However, as I posted above, the signal for ADE doesn't actually seem to be here yet. I think we have to wait until winter for the Covid vaccines to actually experience a trial run, and if everyone takes the "boosters" then we won't even get to see that. (So it's not even against pharma's interest to push ADE scares before the signal arrives; only against their interest to acknowledge the clear risk before we get to 100% vaccinated).
Back the design choice narrative; it's suspicious that "research" on SARS vaccines "dried up" in the mid-10s. Seems more like it moved in-house. It's impossible that the narrative that the spike protein *was not expected* to cause ADE is valid (unless further research was done in-house). However, if such a move to in-house spike protein script research occurred, it's even more likely that the other harms were already discovered, especially potential fertility harms, so straight away you land into "intentional depopulation conspiracy theory" territory and have to break out the Reynolds Wrap.
I disagree with Bossche's premises and obsession over herd and neutralizing immunity, but agree that natural immunity is the way to go.
If what you’re stating is correct then why are people who had covid, getting reinfection? I personally know of my friend in the UK who had covid in early 2020 and 3 weeks ago tested positive to covid not once but 3 times, she couldn’t believe it so she went to various testing sites in London to confirm
If what you’re saying is true, then why are people like my friend in the UK, who got COVID back in March 2020, got covid reinfection? My friend was sick wry high fever and cough and other symptoms back in 3/2020, now in August she is again covid+ with fever and headache, her kids too got infected. Thankfully she and the kids are now fine. But if your theory is correct that natural immunity is far superior and more robust than vaccines, then why my friend and many others who had covid, are experiencing breakthrough infections? Could it be antibodies from getting covid aren’t as robust and long lasting? Serious question
Nature "acquired immunity" is not 100% either, but so far, it's much better than the spike-only vaccine immunity. There is a breakthrough rate with natural immunity, but it's much less, at least 7 times less (and likely more).
With some people, due to a variety of factors, their immune response just isn't that great, and they don't get much acquired immunity. And other things can go wrong to, including some basic bad immune luck.
Reading the latest from Vanden Bossche, he now worries that the heavy escape pressure put on the virus by the vaccines could drive mutations that also evade natural immunity at some point. It's a very scary scenario.
Since the PCR cycle cutoff was set so high, we cannot rule out the possibility that those with prior infection were not really infected...so they are really vaxxed or unvaxxed.
And isn't Israel counting those with one jab or two jabs up to 13 days post as unvaxxed.
I was thinking this very thing. Saw a PA give testimony that the earlier PCR tests could not distinguish between Covid and the flu. Curious if anyone has researched this.
I 100% disagree with you. As a medical provider, working in emergency medicine, I saw with my own eyes as I tested patients with bilateral lung infiltration, all my PCR’s were positive for all my patients who had bilateral lung infiltration. Also, I never got a false positive, I had plenty of false negatives with patients whose lungs were covered in covid.
Many of the PCR+ tests recorded as cases were screening tests performed on people with no symptoms and no exposure. My son in grad school was required to get weekly tests. One of my nephews was positive with symptoms. Another nephew was positive without symptoms but had to quarantine in a hotel for a week.
People who go to an ER are sick.
There are false positives and false negatives. However, when the PCR cycle cutoff is 40-45, the chance of a false positive (with or without symptoms) is very high. We have no idea how many of those cases were real, which means we really don't know how many of the infections occurring now are breakthrough infections.
Perhaps the people "whose lungs were covered in covid" had a different infection? Without performing a lavage, culture, and genomic typing can you be certain of the viral culprit?
Basically the theory is the response to the solo injected spike protein, and the very specific antibodies created, overwrites prexisiting broad antibodies and immunological memory to the virus itself.
Don’t know the mechanism, but this is the argument Dr VandenBossche has been making—along with selection pressure among the vaccinated causing new strains to emerge—and so far it looks like he’s right.
My best friend and his wife(fully vaxed) took a trip to Mexico,both got sick 2 days after returning...4days later got the monoclonal antibodies and are doing great now 1 week later. I’m gonna stick with flccc
Speaking of censorship -- The federation of state medical boards said that physicians who post COVID-19 vaccine "misinformation" may lose their license. Of course -- unclear what counts as "misinformation".
It’s anything that disputes their orthodoxy. Notably unscientific, but nothing new. The medical industry has been attacking heretics for a long time. Find a copy of betrayers of truth to see how it works.
I do loathe having to go to twitter. The full thread:
"1/ I don't think people get yet what the Israeli data mean.
Barring an extraordinary reversal, in days Israel will have more serious cases than at this time in 2020.
In a week it will have more VACCINATED serious cases than the total serious cases at this time in 2020...
2/ BUT MANY ADULTS IN ISRAEL HAVE ALREADY BEEN INFECTED AND RECOVERED.
Most have been vaccinated, since most adults have been vaccinated.
THEY SHOULD BE PROTECTED. NATURAL IMMUNITY IS REAL.
So the real pool of vaccinated at-risk people should be MUCH smaller than it appears..."
We already know from the July 12 update that previously-confirmed-infected were not jumping into the infected category at nearly the rate of the general vaccinated/unvaccinated pop.
The pool *is* smaller, yet the wave looks bigger.
So what? Respiratory viruses "burn out" well before they exhaust all available fuel. This keeps them around long term.
It's really leaping too far to take the Israel situation as evidence of vaccine-induced natural immunity disarmament - especially when the last provided update indicated that reinfection were ultra-rare. Look at the testing graph when you google "Israel covid stats" - testing was way lower last summer and the positivity rates in July and August jumped to twice what they are this summer. There's your mystery solved.
Summer provides protection against deficient respiratory immune responses. ADE probably won't arrive until the winter and probably will be staved off by the roll-out of "boosters" which repeat and magnify the direct harms of the "vaccines."
Thank you for doing the difficult job of going to Twitter and pulling the whole thread. I got a subscription in hopes I would never have to go to Twitter again :)
Hi Alex, Thank you again for all the work you are doing to inform everyone. Question sir- Have you ever seen any info or rumors that the “elite class” of the world aren’t actually getting the “real” vaccine but just saline or sugar water?
that was a great CDC paper - talk about propaganda - but they had to counter after they published a real paper on the Mass outbreak that shows vaccines do next to nothing. The prevailing theory now is that as the vaccine wanes in efficacy the virus takes advantage of ADE or "antibody dependent enhancement". We will know soon.
Oh - Alex, in case you noticed, no one in the US is looking at these countries that have been highly vaccinated and reporting on them. No one.
Both are possible! The universities have sent out mandatory vaccine letters, what choice are they leaving people. This is one time I would have no problem paying.
Or transfer to one that doesn’t require it (or move online)... for me, university degrees are looking to be worth less and less each day to the point that when my kids reach college age, we are thinking of seeing whether to encourage them to for instance come up with business plan and we would rather fund that (or buy a farm and they can homestead :)) than waste money in a woke madrassa.
The conversation now needs to dump the word vaccine from all vernacular...all discussions. A man-made bioweapon or synthetic pathogen is being injected into your loved ones.
Another thing to throw in this mix, and it was mentioned below I think, is that the PCR tests may likely be crap. I'm reading about people who thought they had Covid, back in early 2020, and were confirmed positive by the PCR tests. Now, they have the latest "T-cell test" to look for immunity and they find they are negative. Huh?
They probably had some sort of flu that was misidentified by the PCR test. If this happened in large numbers, then well, hell, much of the case date and curves may be garbage. Garbage in, garbage out.
It would be nice if the CDC et al would do some sort of large scale randomized national testing to determine, accurately, how many people have actually been infected. You know, like India did several time. But they won't do that (or have and just haven't told us about it)
From the get-go this whole panicdemic has been nothing but lies, hysteria and lunacy.
The entire process being used today via PCR is complete junk science that wouldn’t pass even the most basic science lab audit. That’s why most of these PCR outfits aren’t ISO accredited, by the way.
I think we are all trying to figure this out with no good answers. I had Covid in April 2021. I keep track of my antibodies. I feel that is the best way to track my immunity is by having an antibody test every couple of months. The other issue is we are solely relying on a vaccine to fix this without looking at therapeutic in addition for early on symptoms. Obviously we are seeing some serious issues with vaccines working for the long haul, so Dr. Fauci for instance needs to start looking at other options.
I am paying $ to support Alex. Alex...you need to go down to Charlottesville VA and interview Dr. David Martin. His subject matter expertise with respect to Biosecurity goes back 20 something years. I am paying you to get down there (if you are in NY) and interview him.
So today, I tried 3-4 times to post in my local NextDoor about the latest Iceland policy shift and apparently I am not allowed to post any link from Alex's twitter feed or mention "Alex Berenson" in the post or it is automatically removed... the censorship is insane! It means Alex is right on target and no one wants to know how on target he is. Crazy times! So now I have to write "Al3x B3r3ns0n" to get around that auto-censor (but can not paste in the link) if I want to direct folks to what he posted on Iceland's change of course.
From a paid substack supporter who will continue to support you even if all your content is free:
Brilliant way to skirt another suspension while still using twitter. You reach so many more there. Thanks Alex!
I agree with Madeleine!

Vaccine mandates are increasing and so is the truth about these vaccines. This is on a collision course.

This is just awful. There has to be a nurse out there who would trade a Benjamin for an empty syringe and completed vax card.

There is NO certified reference materials for isolated SARS-CoV-2 “covid-19” virus. it does not exist. If that doesn't exist, WHAT THE HELL IS THE EXPERIMENTAL JAB FOR?

Sean...you will not take a synthetic pathogen., Signed Uncle Tom.
Thank you, Uncle Tom!
Hope you are busy looking for a new job and saving money. You are far better off waiting this out than taking a vaccine now. You can always find another job, you can't unvax once you are harmed.
I need to add that as of this morning there are 10.7m job wanted ads and only 9.4m people out of work and looking for jobs so you should be easily able to find a new job and your employer is stupid to let you go assuming you do good work.
Do you follow Robert Barnes on Locals? In his chat yesterday he said Rel. Exemptions have been getting granted lately esp. after an attorney letter. But he's got some sample letters for employees to use.
You will evnetually win a lawsuit. And your current employer will miss you.
Have you spoken to an attorney? Religious exemption?
In AL the religious exemption is obtained by going to a Health Dept and I think that is the case in most places/states
We have religious exemptions in Alabama as well. Most commonly (and a yale student was just successful with this too!) it is because of the fact that electively aborted fetal cell tissue is used in the development of vaccines. They use the cell lines from these aborted fetuses. This is in conflict with religious beliefs.

Such as the synthetic pathogen injection becoming frighteningly understood. and the first causality of SARS CoV-2 'covid-19' having never been established since NO certified reference materials for isolated SARS-CoV-2 “covid-19” virus exist. Now the bioweapon or spike is real.
There is a strong case to made that it's the first option, the vaccine is undoing (enough of) natural immunity to increase the number of susceptibles in the population and allow for a third wave. There are many reports of those previously recovered from Covid who (stupidly) got vaccinated, and now are getting infected again (once the high titers of spike antibodies wane, half-life of about 68 days per a Japanese paper on the subject -- levels are nil after about 6 months).
I don't think Delta is all that more transmissible and probably less virulent than the original. You only come up with crazy high transmissibility if you assume the vaccines are lowering transmission. If instead, it's the vaccines have screwed up natural immunity. then this accounts for the new surges.
Look at the infection curve for the US. Worldometers will do. You will see we started vaccinating after the peak of the second wave. We vaccinated into the natural decline of the virus. We were well on our way to herd immunity without a single vaccine being administered. Then, we got a little post-vaccination spike, and it continued to trail off. And now, we're having a third surge.
Look a the curve for India, where vaccination rates are very low. That's the dreaded Delta variant, where it first started. Note they still look like a classic two peak infection curve. They are trailing off, no third spike. They are at herd immunity for Delta with about 67% of the population having antibodies, and natural antibodies.
Finally, look at all the heavily vaccinated countries (UK, Iceland, Israel). Look at their curves. Same third wave behavior, even in Iceland with vaccination rates approaching 90% in the adult population, 75% for the total that includes children too young.
Can you provide a plausible physical explanation for how the vaccine could destroy natural immunity?
See this link, which I posted below in another comment.

See the full text, Figure 2, chart G. This looks at the change in immune memory profile for those vaccinated after being infected with Covid. Natural immunity plays very little attention to the spike protein. It looks at the N-proteins, which are more conserved across mutations. Your immune system knows a thing or two because it has seen a thing or two over millennia of natural selection fighting viruses.
Vaccination shifts it, lowering the total memory profile and shifting the smaller remainder heavily toward the spike. The spike-only vaccination is quite inferior to natural immunity.
Let me add. You may wonder why Pharma went spike-only. Good question. Why didn't they try N-protein? Because it's very hard. There has never been a successful vaccine against any coronavirus in humans before. They tried with the first SARS. They failed. Trying for the N-protein produced ADE effects, which coronaviruses are bad about. Your natural immune system knows how to do it, but Pharma doesn't.
So they settled on the spike, which they claimed produced no hint of ADE effects (well, maybe a little they now seem to acknowledge).
And, if you read Geert Vanden Bossche, this spike only immunity is not and cannot be sterilizing. You need N-protein recognition for that. And the only way, he says, to get that would be a live, attenuated virus vaccine, which would be very difficult to do safely, and would take decades of research.
Pharma went for a flash in the pan, really a cheap trick that would appear to work over the short term, and hoped it would be enough. It wasn't, and looks like it is making things worse.
The N protein ADE experience as pretext for their design choice is a fig-leaf. Spike protein targeting produced ADE in previous research as well. There seems to be no reason to imagine that IgE over-sensitization-based ADE cares which protein is sensitized for. However, as I posted above, the signal for ADE doesn't actually seem to be here yet. I think we have to wait until winter for the Covid vaccines to actually experience a trial run, and if everyone takes the "boosters" then we won't even get to see that. (So it's not even against pharma's interest to push ADE scares before the signal arrives; only against their interest to acknowledge the clear risk before we get to 100% vaccinated).
Back the design choice narrative; it's suspicious that "research" on SARS vaccines "dried up" in the mid-10s. Seems more like it moved in-house. It's impossible that the narrative that the spike protein *was not expected* to cause ADE is valid (unless further research was done in-house). However, if such a move to in-house spike protein script research occurred, it's even more likely that the other harms were already discovered, especially potential fertility harms, so straight away you land into "intentional depopulation conspiracy theory" territory and have to break out the Reynolds Wrap.
I disagree with Bossche's premises and obsession over herd and neutralizing immunity, but agree that natural immunity is the way to go.
If what you’re stating is correct then why are people who had covid, getting reinfection? I personally know of my friend in the UK who had covid in early 2020 and 3 weeks ago tested positive to covid not once but 3 times, she couldn’t believe it so she went to various testing sites in London to confirm
She was indeed covid+ And she was
If what you’re saying is true, then why are people like my friend in the UK, who got COVID back in March 2020, got covid reinfection? My friend was sick wry high fever and cough and other symptoms back in 3/2020, now in August she is again covid+ with fever and headache, her kids too got infected. Thankfully she and the kids are now fine. But if your theory is correct that natural immunity is far superior and more robust than vaccines, then why my friend and many others who had covid, are experiencing breakthrough infections? Could it be antibodies from getting covid aren’t as robust and long lasting? Serious question
Nature "acquired immunity" is not 100% either, but so far, it's much better than the spike-only vaccine immunity. There is a breakthrough rate with natural immunity, but it's much less, at least 7 times less (and likely more).
With some people, due to a variety of factors, their immune response just isn't that great, and they don't get much acquired immunity. And other things can go wrong to, including some basic bad immune luck.
Reading the latest from Vanden Bossche, he now worries that the heavy escape pressure put on the virus by the vaccines could drive mutations that also evade natural immunity at some point. It's a very scary scenario.
Since the PCR cycle cutoff was set so high, we cannot rule out the possibility that those with prior infection were not really infected...so they are really vaxxed or unvaxxed.
And isn't Israel counting those with one jab or two jabs up to 13 days post as unvaxxed.
I was thinking this very thing. Saw a PA give testimony that the earlier PCR tests could not distinguish between Covid and the flu. Curious if anyone has researched this.
https://fos-sa.org/2021/08/02/fda-document-admits-covid-pcr-test-was-developed-without-isolated-covid-samples-for-test-calibration-effectively-admitting-its-testing-something-else/
I 100% disagree with you. As a medical provider, working in emergency medicine, I saw with my own eyes as I tested patients with bilateral lung infiltration, all my PCR’s were positive for all my patients who had bilateral lung infiltration. Also, I never got a false positive, I had plenty of false negatives with patients whose lungs were covered in covid.
Many of the PCR+ tests recorded as cases were screening tests performed on people with no symptoms and no exposure. My son in grad school was required to get weekly tests. One of my nephews was positive with symptoms. Another nephew was positive without symptoms but had to quarantine in a hotel for a week.
People who go to an ER are sick.
There are false positives and false negatives. However, when the PCR cycle cutoff is 40-45, the chance of a false positive (with or without symptoms) is very high. We have no idea how many of those cases were real, which means we really don't know how many of the infections occurring now are breakthrough infections.
Perhaps the people "whose lungs were covered in covid" had a different infection? Without performing a lavage, culture, and genomic typing can you be certain of the viral culprit?
Basically the theory is the response to the solo injected spike protein, and the very specific antibodies created, overwrites prexisiting broad antibodies and immunological memory to the virus itself.
Look at Dr Robert Malone twitter - ADE - Antibody Dependent Enhancement.
That will turbo-charge auto-immune disorders. #Tickingtimebomb.
Yes - more money for big pharma - never be linked to vaccines.
Don’t know the mechanism, but this is the argument Dr VandenBossche has been making—along with selection pressure among the vaccinated causing new strains to emerge—and so far it looks like he’s right.
My best friend and his wife(fully vaxed) took a trip to Mexico,both got sick 2 days after returning...4days later got the monoclonal antibodies and are doing great now 1 week later. I’m gonna stick with flccc
Protocol . No vax for me !!
Speaking of censorship -- The federation of state medical boards said that physicians who post COVID-19 vaccine "misinformation" may lose their license. Of course -- unclear what counts as "misinformation".
It’s anything that disputes their orthodoxy. Notably unscientific, but nothing new. The medical industry has been attacking heretics for a long time. Find a copy of betrayers of truth to see how it works.
Until people see it here they won't believe anything. The unvaccinated and recovered will be blamed for all failures
I do loathe having to go to twitter. The full thread:
"1/ I don't think people get yet what the Israeli data mean.
Barring an extraordinary reversal, in days Israel will have more serious cases than at this time in 2020.
In a week it will have more VACCINATED serious cases than the total serious cases at this time in 2020...
2/ BUT MANY ADULTS IN ISRAEL HAVE ALREADY BEEN INFECTED AND RECOVERED.
Most have been vaccinated, since most adults have been vaccinated.
THEY SHOULD BE PROTECTED. NATURAL IMMUNITY IS REAL.
So the real pool of vaccinated at-risk people should be MUCH smaller than it appears..."
We already know from the July 12 update that previously-confirmed-infected were not jumping into the infected category at nearly the rate of the general vaccinated/unvaccinated pop.
The pool *is* smaller, yet the wave looks bigger.
So what? Respiratory viruses "burn out" well before they exhaust all available fuel. This keeps them around long term.
It's really leaping too far to take the Israel situation as evidence of vaccine-induced natural immunity disarmament - especially when the last provided update indicated that reinfection were ultra-rare. Look at the testing graph when you google "Israel covid stats" - testing was way lower last summer and the positivity rates in July and August jumped to twice what they are this summer. There's your mystery solved.
The antibody dependent enhancement signal isn't here yet - see https://unglossed.substack.com/p/midsummer-maladies#footnote-anchor-14.
Summer provides protection against deficient respiratory immune responses. ADE probably won't arrive until the winter and probably will be staved off by the roll-out of "boosters" which repeat and magnify the direct harms of the "vaccines."
Thank you for doing the difficult job of going to Twitter and pulling the whole thread. I got a subscription in hopes I would never have to go to Twitter again :)
Hi Alex, Thank you again for all the work you are doing to inform everyone. Question sir- Have you ever seen any info or rumors that the “elite class” of the world aren’t actually getting the “real” vaccine but just saline or sugar water?
that was a great CDC paper - talk about propaganda - but they had to counter after they published a real paper on the Mass outbreak that shows vaccines do next to nothing. The prevailing theory now is that as the vaccine wanes in efficacy the virus takes advantage of ADE or "antibody dependent enhancement". We will know soon.
Oh - Alex, in case you noticed, no one in the US is looking at these countries that have been highly vaccinated and reporting on them. No one.
How long before people are paying to get shot dumped to get vax number for proof of vaccine? I know many who would pay for that service.
We should not go that route. We need to stand together and stand strong!
Both are possible! The universities have sent out mandatory vaccine letters, what choice are they leaving people. This is one time I would have no problem paying.
Or transfer to one that doesn’t require it (or move online)... for me, university degrees are looking to be worth less and less each day to the point that when my kids reach college age, we are thinking of seeing whether to encourage them to for instance come up with business plan and we would rather fund that (or buy a farm and they can homestead :)) than waste money in a woke madrassa.
The conversation now needs to dump the word vaccine from all vernacular...all discussions. A man-made bioweapon or synthetic pathogen is being injected into your loved ones.
Another thing to throw in this mix, and it was mentioned below I think, is that the PCR tests may likely be crap. I'm reading about people who thought they had Covid, back in early 2020, and were confirmed positive by the PCR tests. Now, they have the latest "T-cell test" to look for immunity and they find they are negative. Huh?
They probably had some sort of flu that was misidentified by the PCR test. If this happened in large numbers, then well, hell, much of the case date and curves may be garbage. Garbage in, garbage out.
It would be nice if the CDC et al would do some sort of large scale randomized national testing to determine, accurately, how many people have actually been infected. You know, like India did several time. But they won't do that (or have and just haven't told us about it)
From the get-go this whole panicdemic has been nothing but lies, hysteria and lunacy.
The entire process being used today via PCR is complete junk science that wouldn’t pass even the most basic science lab audit. That’s why most of these PCR outfits aren’t ISO accredited, by the way.
I think we are all trying to figure this out with no good answers. I had Covid in April 2021. I keep track of my antibodies. I feel that is the best way to track my immunity is by having an antibody test every couple of months. The other issue is we are solely relying on a vaccine to fix this without looking at therapeutic in addition for early on symptoms. Obviously we are seeing some serious issues with vaccines working for the long haul, so Dr. Fauci for instance needs to start looking at other options.
I am paying $ to support Alex. Alex...you need to go down to Charlottesville VA and interview Dr. David Martin. His subject matter expertise with respect to Biosecurity goes back 20 something years. I am paying you to get down there (if you are in NY) and interview him.
So today, I tried 3-4 times to post in my local NextDoor about the latest Iceland policy shift and apparently I am not allowed to post any link from Alex's twitter feed or mention "Alex Berenson" in the post or it is automatically removed... the censorship is insane! It means Alex is right on target and no one wants to know how on target he is. Crazy times! So now I have to write "Al3x B3r3ns0n" to get around that auto-censor (but can not paste in the link) if I want to direct folks to what he posted on Iceland's change of course.
