The most damning article about vaccines yet
British doctors now openly beg for more lockdowns because they say they can’t rely on vaccines
This new piece from Reuters - hardly a outpost of anti-vax fanaticism - should terrify vaccine advocates.
And, honestly, scare the rest of us.
A reminder: Britain has pursued a mass vaccination strategy as aggressively as any country. It approved Pfizer’s vaccine even before the FDA. More than 80% of Britons over 16 are now fully vaccinated.
But Britain is in far worse shape than it was at this time last year, when no one was vaccinated. It is now averaging about 140 deaths a day, roughly 10 times as many as mid-September 2020. And hospitalizations and deaths continue to rise.
Now Reuters reports British physicians are warning the vaccines don’t work well enough to allow the country to return to normal:
And then there’s this:
COVID-19 Cases Spike in Singapore After Country Reaches 80 Percent Vaccine Threshold
Singapore is reporting its highest number of COVID-19 cases in over a year after their nation reached its 80 percent vaccine threshold.
As a result, authorities are beginning to once again implement lockdown measures, including banning social gatherings in the workplace and requesting that residents only go to a maximum of one social gathering per day in their private lives.
Alex Cook, an infectious diseases modelling expert at the National University of Singapore, is making excuses for the vaccine regime, as public health experts toeing the line for Big Pharma are known to do.
“The community cases have actually gone up since reaching 80 per cent coverage, in part because we’re allowing more social events for those who are vaccinated and, I dare say, more fatigue at the control measures,” Cook said.
However, Cook did admit that the vaccines are worthless in stopping the Delta variant of COVID-19, which, of course, will just be used as a justification to push more shots.
“One main lesson from across South-East Asia is that it is incredibly hard to prevent Delta’s spread and, as Singapore shows, even high vaccination rates will not...
Moderna analysis: Those vaccinated last year twice more likely to contract COVID-19
Moderna Inc. has released a set of data which suggested its COVID-19 vaccine is effective in preventing serious health issues or death from "variants of concern" but admitting that efficacy decreases over time, such that those who received the vaccine last year were twice more likely to contract a breakthrough case of the coronavirus disease.
According to the data, which Moderna released Wednesday, a "study shows lower risk of breakthrough infection in participants vaccinated more recently (median 8 months after first dose) than participants vaccinated last year (median 13 months after first dose)."
A Moderna trial conducted over the summer, labeled Phase 3 COVE Study, revealed that "88 breakthrough cases of COVID-19 occurred in the more recently vaccinated group (49.0 cases per 1000 person-years) compared to 162 cases in the group vaccinated last year (77.1 cases per 1000 person-years)."
Across both groups, Moderna highlighted that "only 19 severe cases were observed." While there was a "numerical trend toward a lower rate of severe cases in the groups vaccinated more recently." Moderna insisted that the number of cases was low enough that the trend was "not significant."
The research found that those who were vaccinated earlier on had a 50% higher rate of symptomatic breakthrough cases during the months of July and August compared to...
Amazon Blocks Ad for Book Investigating Black Lives Matter
Amazon this week blocked an advertisement for a new book on Black Lives Matter leaders, claiming content that “revolves around controversial or highly debated social topics is not permitted.”
“BLM: The Making of a New Marxist Revolution” is the latest book by Mike Gonzalez, a former journalist who is a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation, parent organization of The Daily Signal.
The Heritage Foundation, which attempted to buy the ad for Gonzalez’s book, said that Amazon, the nation’s largest retailer, blocked it from its website.
Amazon sent a message to Heritage on Tuesday stating that the ad for Gonzalez’s book “no longer complies with our current Creative Acceptance Policies.”
“Specifically for the following reasons: Your ad contains book/s or content that is not allowed. Content that revolves around controversial or highly debated social topics is not permitted,” Amazon’s notice to Heritage says. “Please remove this content from your ad.”Gonzalez said he wrote the book to answer questions about the Black Lives Matter movement.
“I wrote this book because most of the press refused to cover the important questions about the people and organizations behind Black Lives Matter,” Gonzalez said in a statement. “Now Amazon is trying to limit how many Americans read this book.”
Gonzalez, a former reporter and opinion editor for The Wall Street Journal, added:

Pentagon Confirms Gen. Milley Made Treasonous Promises to China in Trump's Final Days
The Pentagon has appeared to confirm a bombshell report claiming that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley conspired to undermine then-President Donald Trump’s military authority and warn the Chinese government of any impending U.S. attacks.
According to newly released excerpts of “Peril,” an upcoming book authored by reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Milley was worried Trump would “go rogue,” conspired to subvert Trump’s ability to command U.S. nuclear weapons and promised his Chinese counterparts he would warn the Chinese in advance of any U.S. attack.
Axios reported that a spokesman for Milley addressed the report on Wednesday, saying Milley had indeed called his Chinese counterparts in October and January to convey “reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability.”
“The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs regularly communicates with Chiefs of Defense across the world, including with China and Russia,” the spokesman said in a statement.
“These conversations remain vital to improving mutual understanding of U.S. national security interests, reducing tensions, providing clarity and avoiding unintended consequences or conflict.
“His calls with the Chinese and others in October and January were in keeping with these duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability. All calls from the Chairman to his counterparts, including those reported, are staffed, coordinated and communicated with the Department of Defense and the interagency.”
Not directly addressed or denied in the statement, however, was the report that Milley had promised his Chinese counterpart — Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army — that he would warn him of...
