Very good and comprehensive article from Prof Neil et al, further confirmation that we lived through the biggest and most destructive hoax ( and crime against humanity ) in history;

”False attribution/conflation of pneumonia deaths to a virus is not a new phenomenon. James Lyons Weiler reports on a long history of manipulation of definitions and statistics to inflate the perceived danger from the flu, when the actual danger is bacterial pneumonia. Pneumonia deaths were henceforth coded as influenza/pneumonia.

Before SARS-CoV-2 came on the scene, there was a belief in pharmaceutical circles that the flu wasn’t perceived to be dangerous enough and a concern that flu vaccination rates were dropping. To some it may have looked like the vaccine enterprise and pharmaceutical industry itself might be in danger of terminal decline. In October 2019, there were calls for a universal high-tech flu vaccine to face upcoming viral threats and ‘blow up’ the existing system, with the necessity of having many people dying for the sense of urgency to occur.”

The reduction in the public’s perceived threat of flu may have prompted the pharmaceutical industry to attempt a rebranding of the threat along with a new suite of marketable products to respond to that threat.”

Number of covid deaths increasing hmm? Gosh, anyone would think that someone was either massaging figures, or, alternatively, whipping up new strains in their labs to keep the pharma gravy train going. It shouldn’t be covid 19; it should be covid 57, like Heinz varieties – something for everybody.

New Study Finds mRNA COVID Vaccines Can ‘Reprogram’ Children’s Immune Systems for Up to Six Months Which ‘Could Impact Immune Responses to Other Pathogens’

“Our results add to the evolving evidence that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination reprograms both adaptive and innate immune responses.

Our findings suggest SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination could alter the immune response to other pathogens, which cause both vaccine-preventable and non-vaccine-preventable diseases

These data show that a SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-based vaccine alters heterologous immunity in children and that these effects can persist up to six months after vaccination…That SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in children could impact immune responses to other pathogens emphasises the need for further research and consideration of heterologous effects in vaccination policies given their broad public health implications.”
