If you take their claims at face value, which, less face it, would be an pretty dumb thing to do, there is a logic perhaps. Memory holing adverse events and the sudden illness that coincidently seems to follow these vaccines like flys around shit, maybe they’ve gone with the Wuhan version because it’s well known Original Angeneic Sin is a factor. Omicron specific vaccines are not showing good data in the early trials and with OAS, that’ll be even less of a uplift for receipients. They may as well go with dose 4.

And yet no MSM news on the rise of life insurance Q4 reports on disability and deaths from the injected. The FDA, Moderna and Pfizer lied about the clinical data. More people died in the vaccine group than the placebo. The whole sh*tshow will collapse when Wall St realises what has happened.

They are not a single product entity anymore. Moderna is very busy at the moment rolling out a new super-duper variant HIV mRNA “vaccine”.
 
Whilst the pig-eyed inbred Prince Harry is terribly busy ordering everyone to run along and get their HIV test.
 
You would not know whether to laugh or cry at it, but very many of those that took the COVID-19 gene therapies will have compromised immune systems – this number doesn’t include those that dropped dead or are lying comatose as result of the serum.
 
So, a lot of the injected will have mRNA gene serum induced immunodeficiency, which, they’ll be told, is being caused by them having the new variant of HIV virus.
 
Yes sir, the Cabal will explore every avenue in regards to depopulating the sheep and useless eaters.   
 
Check out woke comedian, Heather McDonald, as she brags about her numerous “vaccines” and boosters, and sneers at those that haven’t had them, before she collapses like a sack of manure and fractures her thick skull.
 
In a follow up interview, she whined that she would not be getting the fourth booster.
 
It takes a fractured skull to teach the woke. 🙂

UK jabby-jabs in the autumn “despite the emerging evidence from Israel that a fourth vaccine dose does little or nothing to reduce spread”

Sadly in Italy, Health Minister Speranza (=hope) has announced an immediate wave of fourth jabby-jabs to start immediately, no delay, emergency continuing until ‘summertime’, with none of these Unicold has ended the pandemic ideas, so recently popular in other regions

I think that’s the situation, as due to my Christmas present of a mild unicold, I was able to gather enough pieces of paper to make it out of Italy (where having a foreign holiday may be illegal) to the Canary Islands. Holidays in the Sun! Sunny & distant storms, very little panic or fascism here, which is nice. “Hope” should <<Italian swear word beginning with va-fan…>>, for not accepting reality.

We have been on Lanzarote since NY Day, and besides face nappies in supermarkets its almost ‘normal’. Its sort of legal to get to another EU country ( and an odd assortment of places you normally wouldn’t go to) from France, but god help you if you want to go unjabbed to somewhere else you may wish to visit!
I think perhaps over 50% of the Spanish here are ignoring any remaining restrictions, and about 80% of the visitors are.

No matter how hard the medical establishment tries to coerce people into accepting booster shots, the fact remains that these “vaccines” are very poor by any standard. They don’t stop people catching the disease or passing it on to others, and any protection they might offer against serious illness is short lived. It should also be remembered the “vaccines” are far from 100% safe – the EMA Website records thousands of deaths directly attributable to the “vaccines”.  There is also reason to suspect regular vaccination may have long-term adverse effects – time will tell. No doubt some people will be happy to be jabbed every three months.That is their choice; it is not my choice.

Ultimately how will anyone know whether their cold is due to SARS-CoV-2 or any of multiple viruses? Will people stop going into work as soon as they get symptoms of a cold? Living with the virus is literally that. Vaccination against it is not the answer. Illness is caused by the pathogen and our immune system response. Fever – immune system. Pain – immune system, Swelling – immune system, fatigue – immune system.

The number of people with severely weakened immune systems will be growing with each ‘booster’.

Since two weeks ago, MHRA have released booster totals per manufacturer. For doses 1 and 2, it was 48.5% PfizerBiontech and 48.5% AstraZeneca. The remainder was Moderna and unknown. For the boosters, it is 76% PfizerBiontech and 23% Moderna. That is 99% mRNA type jabs.
I had a suspicion from the start that it was going to go all mRNA – particularly Pfizer.

Watching Pfizer/Moderna – same technology, one licenced from the other – take out AstraZeneca early on in the jab roll out was like watching a scene from a mafia film where one group of mobsters takes out another group to take over their business.

It was a full on take out job. There was no censorship of side effects of the AstraZeneca jabs. The blood clots. That circulated just fine. Only after AZ was taken out did they start clamping down on “misinformation” about side effects.

Flu vaccines are adapted each year to try to match the dominant strain of the virus. Even so, their efficacy is very variable

I took flu jabs for years, hoping that on average they did me some good. After reading the results of this paper I have decided not to continue with them.

“The data included 170 million episodes of care and 7.6 million deaths. Turning 65 was associated with a statistically and clinically significant increase in rate of seasonal influenza vaccination. However, no evidence indicated that vaccination reduced hospitalizations or mortality among elderly persons. The estimates were precise enough to rule out results from many previous studies.”

In English, they do no ruddy good.

The vaxx does little or nothing to reduce spread? The conclusion of the Israeli study would appear to be (in keeping with their terminology) that it does little or nothing of anything at all (other than make some people a lot of money and give a lot of people a range of health issues they did not have prior to being poked).

“The increased efficacy against symptomatic compared to asymptomatic infections found in this study suggest that the fourth dose may be more efficacious against severe disease and death, as was recently observed22. Therefore, older and vulnerable populations who are at higher risk for severe disease may benefit most from a fourth vaccine dose.”

“Our data provides evidence that an mRNA fourth vaccine dose is immunogenic, safe and somewhat efficacious, apparently more against symptomatic disease. Four to five months after the third dose, the fourth dose increases immunogenicity and restores it to levels comparable to peak antibody levels after the third vaccine dose. Thus, while mRNA vaccines seem to be highly potent and protective against severe disease, next-generation vaccines may be needed to provide better protection against infection with highly transmissible future variants.” (emphasis mine)

Considering that the group studied consisted of approx. 1000 people and of that group 700 were in the control group, I’d ‘suggest’ that the majority of people in the control group told them to stick the 4th jab somewhere other than their arms.

What is this new obsession with having incredibly high antibodies?! We’d all be laid up in bed with fever 24/7 if we had high antibodies to every pathogen we had encountered permanently floating round in our blood.

Good job of highlighting all the qualifying “weasel” words and phrases – ‘may be” “seem to be” ‘apparently,” etc. – All of the studies and pronouncements from officials I have read are replete with such qualifying words.

A few weeks ago I had a text inviting me for a 4th jab (I have a blood condition which makes me “vulnerable”). What I found most interesting was that in the text the 3rd jab – which I also have no intention of having – was referred to as the “third primary dose” and not a booster. It has obviously been a 3rd full dose from the start dressed up a booster to seem more palatable but why the change in language now?

Because the majority of people no longer seem able to remember their lives further back than a few months. It’s like 1984 – there will always be the planned full dose followed by one very last imminent booster – forevermore.

I’m struck by all these citizens who are getting these “texts” telling them to go get their next jab. These are not public health agencies – they are Vaccine Promotion Agencies.

… If this order (?)/reminder comes from a ‘trusted” public health authority, many people do what they are instructed to do.

Yup, along with my parents.
My 92 year old father has declined noticeably since he had the 3rd shot and flu jab on the same day. He has lost mobility, lost use of hands, much weaker overall. My mother seems unaffected physically. I begged them both not to have any more jabs after number 2, but off they went anyway.

And why? “Because they sent for us” – they being the sainted NHS.

My mother moans to me that my father “isn’t that good”, but won’t accept that the magic jab may have had a role to play.

I fully accept that his age is a big factor, but there’s no comparison with how he was only a year ago, and how he is now.

Talking about flu jabs, one should never forget that the correct comparison is not just between how many die vaccinated or unvaccinated from the disease, but how many people die both from the disease and from the vaccine itself if vaccinated, compared to the unvaccinated. The Daily Expose today compares the VAERS data for covid and flu jabs:

https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/02/21/covid-vaccines-50-times-deadlier-than-flu-vaccines/

Based on UK and US states, a recent preprint indicates that covid plus vaccination all told kills more people than covid without vaccination.
“COVID-19 and All-Cause Mortality Data by Age Group Reveals Risk of COVID Vaccine-Induced Fatality is Equal to or Greater than the Risk of a COVID death for all Age Groups Under 80 Years Old as of 6 February 2022.”
Highlights of paper here.

With respect, the Daily Expose is a clickbait site. Every article that I have been tricked into reading there, without exception, has mixed a spoonful of evidence and fact into a steaming bucket of exaggeration, speculation or outright fiction. I’ve seen them flip between true claim A and unrelated false claim B within the same sentence and back again without so much as a semicolon in between.

The more we find ourselves inclined to believe a narrative, the harder we should question it, yes?

How do you differentiate between what you say is true or false? Many of the incredible claims of a year ago are now proved to be true!

Many of the ‘Covid truths’ pumped at the population were straight lies.

Personally I wouldn’t write in public about topics on which I was such an ignoramus.

May I take this opportunity to thank comrades Kim Il-Sung, Enver Hoxha, and Tim Davie – who has contributed so much in his roles at Pepsi, the Conservative Party, and the BBC – for their wise leadership, come rain or shine, come lean times or fat.

Clearly the proles are not dying off fast enough.
The elderly ones must be tougher than first imagined – well some of them.

It’s like a never ending nightmare. Despite all the evidence, they won’t give up on those blo*dy jabs.

I will never travel abroad again, I see that now. Still defiantly unjabbed, I’ll never catch up. I won’t be the only one though.

When they have overturned the Nuremberg Code they will force a Super Jab containing all the previous 8 shots pick-and-mixed from all the options- should cause the ‘drop’ numbers to rise!

I assume they are working on Gates’ suggestion of a 15% global reduction model?

There have been advances is robotics and AI since the 15% reduction estimate. I’d imagine that he thinks can probably keep the larder stocked up for his private chefs, and enough private jet fuel and luxury yacht diesel production, with only 15% of the population surviving.

While I despise and disagree with this idea when you look at it unfortunately it makes sense. In the eye of a top billionaire what most of the people are doing on earth? Struggle with survival and put out a lot of unnecessary waste… In the past the aristocrats needed the peasants but now with self driving john deer tractors/robots/AI why should you need them?

Laughable and ludicrous in equal measure. The only problem is that while the vaccine certificate for travel remains everyone has to have this injectable therapy every 270 days. And that’s simply not on.

The analysis of former BlackRock portfolio manager Ed Dowd might very well change the entire faux narratives about COVID and the vaccines.

This substack journalist has a good summary of Dowd’s recent areas of interest – life insurance company data, funeral home data, fixed Phizer trials and DoD adverse event data.

Dowd says eventually Wall Street is going to connect all the dots and begin shorting stocks as required.

Source http://www.NaturalNews.com IT Never Ends: UK citizens will need booster shots every three months for the rest of their lives’’ Wednesday 8th December 2021

Health and social care Secretary Sajid Javid of Great Britain has announced plans to impose a policy of endless booster shots for all adults every three months for rest of their lives’’ Speaking before the houses of commons ( watch below) “Speaking before the houses of commons Javid explained how the joint committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recently decided that the new plan is to inject all adults aged 18 years of age and older every three months for the Chinese virus and its many variants’’ .

“JCVI published its advice in the last hours’’ Javid said “First, it’s advised that the minimum dose interval for booster jabs should be halved from six months to three months’’ . “Second, that the booster program should be expanded to include all remaining adults aged 18 and above’’ .

I also know a few well to do people presumably I work in Waitrose who most are middle class I saw a nice young man rather good looking he said he had two jabs he was athletic and said he felt ill also was not wearing a mask this time round

so I could see his face and that he said he did want a booster, next customer was also slightly well mid seventies, all masked and very cautious with her husband she was slightly annoyed that the isolation was going along with free tests , .

I served her she asked why I do not wear a mask I said I could not breathe in but then she went on it was Waitrose’s policy that staff should be masked , I said I could not I have a hidden disability end of discussion ,

also why would a fourth jab be a need , or first second third if a fit healthy person is well with no underlying health problems no obesity I am not the healthiest the past two years I gained afew pounds from eating vegan chocolate, vegan chocolate spread no gym, my swimming pool however I never eat potato chips , or drank a big fizzy cola all day I did strength training weights , squats press ups , nothing is advised in reducing Covid deaths less sugar no refined carbs regular exercise good sleep and a few gym membership for the obese reducing the price of Coke and sweets , chocolates all advise designed to dumb down and make ill.

I also did Chole Ting home workouts I had been to my gym eight times since it opened this was 2020 , then it brought in mask mandatory around the corridors and the changing rooms, Puregym policy I did not want too go much I could not stand seeing mask wearers and only one class thenbhitbridcic a vlsss timetable

I have been back since the summer of 2021 , it did two classes a bodytone legs bums and Tums a
I went four times last week I do some press ups squats weights

it is good for my mental health no mask mandate was not brought up since it was reintroduced last November till January the 27th 2022 , I also only have too wipe down equipment with my antiviral spray .

I also went too a regular walk about 3 and 4 miles since the lockdown ended from all social meet-ups , some with a couple of friends some on my own I meet well educated people I admit walking groups mostly older around mid fifties early sixties, I met a guy on a six mile walk around Hampstead, he said he worked for the NHS it was exhausting all through a park not or 10 miles or 11
miles 14 miles he said a doctor said get the booster he was 46 and well fit , no underlying health issues no obesity yet got a booster ,

too be fair no one was obese on Ken’s walk or any walk I went on , still the educated got middle working class like me can be awake about genre therapy or asleep I asked him why he said nothing then replied he wanted it , .

when it comes to Covid-1984 I often find the middle class young old , too hysterically hand sanitizer and wear those 15 pound flower face mask and they probably are llikely to trust or obey the BBC Sky News Channel 4 , I am educated I have good grades I read a lot I read PseudoPandemic however the middle class at work and educated university friends not Oxford Cambridge like more Leeds university some friends since I was 18, do not want to know when I mention great reset something sinister is going on , it is quite depressing .

Once again the rhetoric used …..let’s jab the elderly and vulnerable to keep them Safe. Safe from what…the flu!!! Turn the language around and yes this jab has been successful because people are dying. The useless eaters and the disabled will be conveniently dispersed of first. We need to change everything about modern living.
we need to break up the establishment and their institutions and we do that by ignoring them. We create our own education system based on the family and skills. We govern ourselves collectively and let the best ideas for all float to the top. We live as humanity should live, by the seasons and the values that Jesus gave us. We don’t need to be told what medicine to take or what years are to be given to a state controlled learning system.

What kind of science is it that ignores the data. The mRNA technology is not a vaccine as we had previously defined it. The antibody response to the fragments that our own cells are induced to produce are not robust. We still do not know enough about the data as the controlled studies were abandoned. More worrying is that trials were conducted with patients with previous infection excluded. As we have 85%+ antibodies in U.K. population we have no published safety data on this group. More vaccination? Whatever happened to Vit D and treatment? Compare the vaccine only response for Covid19 and that of HIV….
