Earlier today, the Financial Times removed a comment from a reader calling himself ‘Mykonos Mike’ underneath an article about why COVID-19 infection and vaccination are only partially effective – and, in some cases, completely ineffective after a certain period of time has passed – when it comes to reducing a person’s likelihood of becoming re-infected, infecting others, and ending up with a severe bout of the disease. The reason given for removing the comment, in spite of the fact that it was the most liked and commented on, was “violating our community guidelines”, although, needless to say, no more detail was provided.
In light of this, we thought it was only right to republish Mykonos Mike’s comment in full.
Is this the long winded drivel to explain how people who have taken four doses of a 95% effective vaccine can get infected multiple times? The science in the pandemic has been so wrong it entered fairy tale wonderland story telling level, almost from the beginning. This is volume 15 of series four of the story. I’ll provide a spoiler – nobody cares anymore. And the decisions made in relation to this virus were ineffective and have created massive social and economic problems that will last decades. Time to start calling it as it is FT, the media are hugely complicit in this nonsense. Governments, scientists, health authorities and pharmaceutical companies need to answer very direct questions.
You can read the FT article Mike is commenting on here. Here’s an excerpt.
A surge in COVID-19 hospital admissions driven by the BA.5 subvariant of Omicron, accompanied by the inability of vaccines to prevent reinfection, has prompted health policymakers to rethink their approach to boosters.
U.S. regulators last week recommended changing the design of vaccines to produce a new booster targeting Omicron — the first change to the make-up of shots since their introduction in late 2020. Research into immune imprinting, whereby exposure to the virus via either infection or vaccination determines an individual’s level of protection, is now driving the debate over the make-up of COVID-19 vaccines.
Immunologists say that, more than two years into the coronavirus pandemic, people have acquired very different types of immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, depending on which strain or combination of strains they have been exposed to — leading to big differences in COVID-19 outcomes between individuals and countries.
“The effect is more nuanced than ‘more times you have it, less protection you get’,” said Professor Danny Altmann of Imperial College London, who is investigating the phenomenon with colleagues. “It’s more helpful to consider it as progressive fine-tuning of a huge repertoire. Sometimes this will be beneficial for the next wave, sometimes not.” …
A study of 700 U.K. healthcare workers by the Imperial team, published last month in the journal Science, found that Omicron infection had little or no beneficial effect of boosting any part of the immune system — antibodies, B-cells or T-cells — among people who had been imprinted with earlier SARS-CoV-2 variants.
The Daily Sceptic has addressed the claims being made about this study and the supposed loss of natural immunity with Omicron here.

Just tried to view the FT article, but it appears to be paywalled now!
Yes, article paywalled. Anyway, events have overtaken Coronacobblers. With the resignations of Javid and Sunak, Boris Johnson is exposed as a political leper, more and more will distance themselves. Some will do it so that they can fend off complicity in the fraud.
The man that wanted everyone jabbed, and the man that paid everyone to stay at home.
A complete and utter “who gives a fuck” sideshow.
Report the vaccine injuries, that should be the headline.
I absolutely detest ALL politicians. They no longer serve the people, they serve a global cabal. Only time will tell if I should have hated Boris slightly more or slightly less; that time is fast approaching.
I have an FT subscription. The article is essentially a very poor description of OAS and trying to explain in a “yeah but no but yeah but no” way as to why it’s not the vaccines’ fault that they don’t work and that the vaccinated are getting endless infections.
In a way, I’m glad they are finally acknowledging the concept of OAS, but trying to pin it on on the wily virus rather than the crass stupid of using a leaky vaccine in the middle of a pandemic (which they were warned about by GVB multiple times, but ignored him), is disingenuous to say the least.
Good news is that the majority of commentators are now anti-vaccine. I’ve been watching the sentiment shift over the past 9 months, and it’s unstoppable.
We knew the FT still had at least one subscriber but I am amazed to learn they are also interested in Daily Sceoptic articles. Perhaps it is comparative research?
In the context of the attempt to market it as a “cure” to the Covid-19 panic, that may well be true, but not everyone is negative about conventional, or ‘proper’, vaccination for many other reasons. It could be that the misuse of the term has undermined confidence across the board by the general public, though, and that could be a sad outcome.
Original Antigenic Sin is a term someone with a knack for inappropriate use of religious terms invented to explain why the failure of his Dengue Fever vaccine really wasn’t his fault. It has meanwhile travelled from the anti camp to the pro camp because Our Immune Systems Just Don’t Work And We Will All Die A Horrible Death Because Of That !!!!111111
is so obviously useful for justifying Chinese corona policies in perpetuity. That’s the problem with flashy bullshit. It can be used by every crank.
Not as you claim.
OAS or Antigen imprinting first described by Thomas Francis Jr 1960 article “On the Doctrine of Original Antigenic Sin”.
‘“The antibody of childhood is largely a response to dominant antigen of the virus causing the first type A influenza infection of the lifetime. […] The imprint established by the original virus infection governs the antibody response thereafter. This we have called the Doctrine of the Original Antigenic Sin.”
His father was a preacher and he saw an analogy with the Christian concept of original sin.
This makes preciously little difference: It remains an unproven (and, for the foreeable time, unprovable) and ill-defined speculation supposed to explain obviously wrong conclusions drawn from incomplete observations, worded in a loaded way. For a start, please define imprinting and explain how humans ever manage to become older than about two years when their immune systems cannot mount an effective response to the second serotype of influenza they happen to encounter.
NB: This defintion self-voids the moment it references christanity, communism, fascism or the WEF.
‘… acknowledging the concept of OAS, but trying to pin it on on the wily virus…’
Yes. The variety of responses to the ‘variants’ is due to just how strongly the immune systems of individuals have been antigen imprinted which depends on the state of their immune system to begin with, and how many doses of the snake oil they have had and at what interval they received them.
The ‘new design’ ‘booster’ will have the same effect on the OAS immune system as a new variant, it will boost the immune system to reproduce immune agents for the original protein as it was originally trained and will therefore have no more effect than the current juju potion.
I used to regularly comment BTL on articles in The Daily Telegraph until I was finally banned for life for espousing ‘conspiracy theories’.
This was the straw that broke the camel’s back from July 2021:
The offending comments were left on site and reads as follows:
Covid is a smokescreen for the wholesale introduction of digital bio surveillance. The ruse was predicated on ‘cases’ discovered through a PCR test that is so unreliable it has been taken out of service by the CDC in the US.

The vaccines clearly don’t work – see Javid, Piers Morgan and Evan Davis et al.
Now that the penny is dropping among the majority of the population, people are beginning to wonder what is in these vaccines.

The zero Covid zealots are the smokescreen behind which our government are hiding.
We’re following the ‘science’, data not dates.
The over reliance on modelling produced by well known incompetents like Ferguson was always a ruse. Those of us blessed with the essential characteristics of numeracy, stoicism and common sense knew immediately that the figures used to justify lockdown measures bore no resemblance to the mortality and infection figures from the Diamond Princess.
This then begs the question: How are supposedly intelligent members of the cabinet incapable of seeing this disconnect between these numbers.
My theory is that they knew full well that the numbers they were presenting were BS but they knew the majority of the U.K.population are innumerate and reluctant to rock the boat.
The reason we have been forced to endure these lockdown measures is to condition us to accepting permanent restrictions on our private lives.
The ultimate goal is a global digital bio Identity system. As proposed by Gates’ ID2020.org scheme and recommended by the WEF.
This would then meet our commitment to zero carbon by restricting movement through a social credit ‘nudge’ system as piloted in Communist China.
Have you been looking over Klaus,s shoulder !
A study of 700 U.K. healthcare workers by the Imperial team, published last month in the journal Science, found that Omicron infection had little or no beneficial effect of boosting any part of the immune system — antibodies, B-cells or T-cells — among people who had been imprinted with earlier SARS-CoV-2 variants.
What this precisely mean isn’t entirely clear, however, it’s pretty clear what it implies: Omicron is so absolutely horrible that the immune system just doesn’t work against it! Taking this for granted, all of these 700 health care workers must obviously be dead by now. And every adult who was ever exposed to Sars-CoV2 before last winter must obviously have died meanwhile, too, as there are only two possible outcomes from a Sars-CoV2 infection.
Considering that Imperial has proven that it will be 2 for all of the cases I mentioned, how did I miss the UK becoming depopulated by Omicron? Who are all these people running around everywhere? Are they perhaps the walking Omicron dead? As I got COVID in 2019, am I perhaps dead myself and somehow failed to realize that?
Or could it be that Imperial is run by a bunch of disingenious windbags making up shit as they go, with absolutely no regard for a truth which doesn’t help their preferred narrative?
Can someone please send them ,and the BBC, Guardian, Mail. Telegraph etc. this

I’ve been banned by them all.
The paper explains how and why the jabs are harmful.
I’ve been banned by the BBC, set up a new email & used that for another account. I still comment but am more circumspect in the wording I use, fewer ‘trigger’ words but still raising the questions & doubts.
Thank goodness legacy media remains on a downward spiral. Three years of lies is almost too much for most people to swallow.
