Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Imagine injecting poisons and heavy chemicals into a human shoulder to generate ‘spike proteins’ and finding out that it kills and injures and does nothing against a non-existent ‘viral genomic structure’. Shock news surely. No single isolated Sars II ‘virus’ in its ‘shell’ exists, making the creation of a ‘remedy’ rather difficult. $cience, fraudology and all that. See HIV for more info.
Fraudology indeed, the new pseudo-scientific umbrella term that encompasses virology, genomics and (sadly) epidemiology. I know of several fraudologists blissfully unaware they are, I guess they’re useful idiots.
The question is ‘how do we stop them?’
We may need to start with daddy fraudster himself, Loius Pasteur and his hubris, erroneous inferences and data manipulation. Swiftly followed up by exposing the epistomological flaws in ‘germ theory’ and the circular reasoning employed by virologists.
It’s going to be a long messy fight, but I’m game!
Here’s another recent one, if it hasn’t already been shared on here. Dr McCullough is one of the authors.
Results;
”Approximately 98% of the King County population received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by 2023. Our analysis revealed a 25.7% increase in total cardiopulmonary arrests and a 25.4% increase in cardiopulmonary arrest mortality from 2020 to 2023 in King County, WA.
Excess cardiopulmonary arrest deaths were estimated to have increased by 1,236% from 2020 to 2023, rising from 11 excess deaths (95% CI: -12, 34) in 2020 to 147 excess deaths (95% CI: 123, 170) in 2023. A quadratic increase in excess cardiopulmonary arrest mortality was observed with higher COVID-19 vaccination rates. The general population of King County sharply declined by 0.94% (21,300) in 2021, deviating from the expected population size.”

Regarding excess deaths/democide, Jacqui Deevoy makes this valid point. And I think the answer is simple, as somebody rightly points out in the comments: the police are obviously paid to prioritise and protect the government ( and their various agendas ), not the people. Examples of this abound across all of the government-pushed narratives. We are nothing more than cattle or collateral damage and zero f***s are given;
”We have recently seen evidence that the police have been told not to investigate jab injuries and deaths when a video showing a police officer explaining this to someone who’d gone to them about a jab death went viral.
I’ve believed for years that the police in the UK have been instructed not to investigate the Midazolam murders too.
It would appear that investigating democide – death by government policy – isn’t their thing.
This belief stems from my own experience of trying to get the police to look into my dad’s suspicious death back in 2021 and from hearing accounts from members of my support group who’ve approached the police about the involuntary euthanasia (i.e. murder) of their loved ones only to be turned away.
Can the police be forced to investigate these deaths? If not, how can it be that such blatant democide can be totally ignored?”

Thanks Mogs
But negative effectiveness in itself is no problem.
The real problem is that they are actually er, shall we say rather toxic.
And there my kindness ends.
The bastards knew this, or should have known –

Were we not in Clown World, they would be facing prison.
Some might think a greater punishment should befall them.
Well, negative effectiveness is a problem if you’re elderly and, thus, more likely to be infected. For the elderly, even catching a cold can ultimately be fatal.
I’m glad I said no, wait and see, in March 2021.

I understand that medical scientists want to write articles in a way that may get them “published in a major medical journal” but it’s been bleedin’ obvious for more than two years that the Covid vaccines are not effective. Anyone who wants to look (e.g. on the Worldometer website) can see the graphs showing the MASSIVE increases in Covid cases and Covid deaths in Australia, New Zealand and many Asian countries after mass vaccination compared to before. An effective vaccine is supposed to REDUCE cases and/or deaths, not be followed by MASSIVE INCREASES in cases and deaths, as the graphs for Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and many other countries clearly show:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
We need to add the possibility of the Antibody Dependent Enhancement Effect as an additional mechanism why Covid infection in vaccinated people flourish.
Antibodies developed after vaccination with a certain strain, can potentially enhance virus entry and replication by the next strain that is slightly different.
One of the reasons not to mass vaccinate during an outbreak.
What are the clear and specific symptoms identifying the illness named Covid-19? If there are none then maybe there is no such thing as Covid-19, especially if you can only identify a person as having the illness by means of a PCR analysis, when the inventor of PCR said you cannot use this method to identify illness.
And why did anyone believe, it being the case that Covid-19 takes on so many different forms of illness (like being run over by a bus), that a vaccine can be created to supposedly protect against this undefinable disease?
I suppose we should be happy our politicians did not react like they do with the bird flu – massacring whole bird populations at any sign that one of them is sick. Or maybe that is more or less exactly what they did …
