“Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness drops near zero within months: study”
No, no, no. Why do we still have to say this even to publications and journalists who are prepared to take on the narrative. OK they are reporting the contents of the study and the study doesn’t back the official narrative, but still it needs to be said, every time: Vaccine effectiveness starts at near zero. Prof Norman Fenton has demonstrated over and over how due to the way “vaccinated” status is delayed for 21 days, even a placebo will have the “apparent” short term effectiveness of the Covid vaccines because when fully vaccinated status is delayed a statistical quirk kicks in such that it is inevitable – a geometric fact – there will be the apparent of short term effectiveness.
Norman Fenton’s analysis:
https://youtu.be/Gkh6N-ZL3_k
“British MP Andrew Bridgen has been expelled from the Conservative Party. According to Bridgen, a senior UK politician has privately admitted to him that he may well be right about Covid vaccine harms, but said the government is expecting to suppress public information about Covid vaccine adverse effects for the next 20 years, citing ‘lack of political appetite’ for a public disclosure”. (TCW)
Oh yes? And what about free and informed consent? They have been misleading us from the start, and we really do need a campaign to restore the principle of free and informed consent, and fully uphold the hippocratic oath.
I should link the Mark Steyn show also, from whence comes the above quote (37:42ff):
Thar She Blows! :: SteynOnline
Oh, and TCW article in full:
How to fight for Covid truth – The Conservative Woman
Also from the same article:
“It would certainly suit those who wish the pandemic gravy train and the biotech boom to continue, if the population were to remain polarised and the adverse effects hidden. At this time, it is my belief that launching ad hominem attacks, participating in lawful protests or expressing violent sentiments (never a good idea) will simply play into the hands of those from the media, corporates, medical professions and governments who are hoping that public concern can continue to be managed, marginalised and cancelled.”
True enough I dare say, but I will not easily forget those who called us “granny killers”, or the police duffing up women peacefully protesting against the human rights abuses.
I suspect that there is some truth in this from the comments too:
“To cut a long story short therr a far too many boomers retiring who are expecting plump private pensions, state pensions and expensive NHS care.
There simply aren’t enough younger people to pay sufficient taxes to keep the boomers in the style they think they are entitled to.
The government know this and they also know that the boomers won’t vote in favour of having their comfy lifestyle reduced.
The only real option the government has is to cull the boomers and thereby eliminate their cost, hence mRNA kill shots, midazolam, ventilators etc”
Killing the unborn was always likely to result in the killing of the elderly. Committing human rights abuses never ends well.
Good post.. thank you..
As Mark Steyn said, “Beijing Bidden” may have won the 2024 election already, for all we know. Still, it’ll be fun to watch big Ron try!
Ron DeSantis comes across as a level headed man.. I’ve agreed with a lot of what he’s said and done.. but.. its his visits to Israel to announce legislation that makes me more than a little suspicious of him.
Doesn’t that country, Israel, already have a vice like grip over the US through an abundance of Neocons in the Biden administration. Just asking..
“The dirty secret behind premium ‘green’ energy deals”
I had the conversation with my daughter when she said she’d moved to a 100% renewable supply. Renewables is only a quarter of generated electricity. We can’t all be using that part, all the time.
“Denver Councilwoman proposes taxing ‘white-led businesses’”
As Dr Thomas Sowell said “How much of my hard earned money do I have to give you before you consider it fair.”
More on population levels here;
”Sweden is one of the few countries reporting live births by month. The latest report brings disconcerting news as birth rates continue being depressed instead of recovering. For example, February 2023 births are 12% down compared to Feb 2021. (Sweden’s live births started to decline nine months after Swedish women began to get vaccinated in 2021)
As arkmedic reported, abortions due to fetal malformations rose by 13%in the UK in 2021 compared to 2020. The 13% increase in ground E (fetal abnormality) abortions happened on the background of overall abortions barely changing in 2021. So, these are due to an abnormal and unexplainable increase in fetal abnormalities. Surely cannot be due to the safe and effective Covid vaccines that British women were forced to accept in 2021, right?
Germany’s excess mortality is back to a worrying level of 17%.
We can see that excess mortality and reduced fertility work together to reduce the population of many Western countries, making Scientific American’s Stephanie Feldstein and her WEF friend Jane Goodall happy.”

https://thepostmillennial.com/trans-kids-prescribed-more-anti-psychotic-meds-after-beginning-gender-transition-than-before-study?utm_campaign=64466
A 2021 study of military youth has revealed that not only were minors with severe mental illness allowed to embark upon experimental medical sex changes, but also that prescriptions for anti-psychotic drugs actually increased after hormonal interventions were initiated, reports Fox News.
The study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, examined the Department of Defense (DoD) medical records of 3,754 trans-identified adolescents and 6,603 siblings who did not identify as transgender. The findings reveal no improvement in mental health after commencing hormone interventions and an increase in prescriptions for psychotropic medication.
The trans-identified cohort were more likely to have a mental health diagnosis, use more mental healthcare services, and be prescribed more psychotropic medications compared to the sibling cohort.
Just putting this on record..so that when it is blown-up, the usual suspects can say China did it..and that the USA never said it and it’s all misinformation…!! LOL!

Tha Daily sceptic is a shining light it this crazy world made all the more so by you unbelievable intelligence lot! But here’s a little aside from all this madness, just to remind us what the real world ,that we all have to live in, is actually like!
Me and the wife had a few libations last night up on the new patio, so this morning we fancied a nice full English, so, there iam in my dressing gown and nothing else doing my Jamie Oliver impression when Betty, my 91 year old mother in law, who had already had her cornflakes, comes wobbling through the kitchen on her rollator and the wife shouts “it’s alright mum,he’s not the naked chef” to which I arrogantly retorted ” I can be darling!”
to which Betty replied ” no thanks, I don’t want to bring my breakfast back up!”
… thanks mum!
And ,later today, I had to lie on my stomach while the wife pried a tick out the back of my knee!
You couldn’t make this up could you?
LOL…you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your family!! As we all know, no matter what shit is going on..daily life just keeps doing it’s thing…thank God…
Nearly A Third Of The World Economy Is Now Subject To Sanctions(..or more realistically… western economic terrorism)! An interesting sobering new study…
The results are as any observer of such acts would expect. Sanctions are used too broadly. They hardly ever serve their supposed original purpose and do not reach their aims. They hurt the poor more than the supposedly targeted leaders of this or that country.
These numbers though are astonishing ….. Over the past six decades, there has been significant growth in the use of economic sanctions by Western powers and international organisations.
Less than 4 percent of countries were subject to sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union, or United Nations in the early 1960s; today, that share has risen to 27 percent. The magnitudes are similar when we consider their impact on the global economy: the share of world GDP produced in sanctioned countries rose from less than 4 percent to 29 percent in the same period. In other words, more than one fourth of countries and nearly a third of the world economy is now subject to sanctions by the UN or Western nations.
Under international law only sanction imposed by the United Nations’ Security Council have legal standing. Sanctions by the U.S. or EU are under international law an illegal use of state instruments. The U.S. is using sanctions constantly to press under nations to do its bidding….
Sanctions that hit the whole economy of a country are inhuman and should be prohibited.

In our psychopathic anti-universe where false is true, war is peace and evil is good, my friend, distinguished medical microbiologist Prof. em. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, will be tried in court for “incitement of the masses” in Plön, Germany, on the 23rd of May.
Have the anti-semitism charges been dropped and replaced with this? I have mainly him to thank for my decision not to be injected. A decision I am very pleased I made. It’s good to see he is not without support in Germany.
https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1635090849972486144
Yeah I saw that and I’m highly doubtful anything will come of it, given how far along the crumbling of the narrative is and the German Health Minister’s own feelings on the matter ( jab injuries etc ), which have been shared on here numerous times. However, I can’t imagine how stressful this must be for our Dr B. He’s one of only a handful of experts who’ve shown nothing but integrity from the very beginning and is a shining light of actual science and many years of learned wisdom, which he’s been sharing with us from the start. They’d have to prove he’s done something wrong and the man has done nothing wrong whatsoever, so I hope the knowledge that he has truth and evidence on his side bolsters his confidence and gives him strength to face what’s to come.
A kind and thoughtful post Mogs.
Good grief.
Telling the truth is now “incitement of the masses.”
Clearly Nazi Germany was never de-Nazified. Obviously Fishy will be making a full statement on this matter as soon as he gets back to work.
Won’t he?
“Why should lesbians sleep with men?”
Let me just get my head around this, a person born biological male who identifies as a woman can now be a lesbian if he fancies women!?
Absolute insanity! People like her need locking away in a mental institution she’s obviously lost the plot!
Haha, you took one for the team, Dinger! I didn’t click on the article so now I know the context I certainly don’t want to either!
I find it strange that the pro-vaccine lobby have any gusto left at all. They obviously know the direction the wind is blowing. Maybe they don’t understand that the disability levels alone will be enough to drive all living standards down for the next few decades. Seems to me to be a pathology similar to drug addiction where self-delusion is allowed to occupy the mind except for brief and terrifying moments of clarity. It is a difficult issue for a society to face. You have to look after the wounded even if it means the ruin of your society. Again military tactics – design a bullet to maim rather than kill thus taking three people off the battlefield rather than one. It is more than that though. An incapacitated adult costs about £5 million over the course of their lifetime and that is without considering expensive medical interventions.
