Regarding the vaccines, I think this is a question we All should be asking as members of a longevity-promoting website.

You have a point there too Hip.  My thoughts are...  You've simply got to admit & reveal any and all downsides to the vaccines, and allow the people to choose whether the risk/reward ratio appeals to them...  Or not!  

 

Rolling out the vaccines, & saying mandates are necessary, as this is the only way to "end the pandemic" was a dumpster fire of a way to introduce them.  What ever happened to science?  Risk vs Reward; & freedom to choose?  

 

I'm retired, so I don't give a rats a$$ about the stupid mandates, but I'll never forgive the prohibition on outpatient treatment, during the dark days of 2020/21.  I had to learn how to use bitcoin, & get simple over the counter meds from India, just to have something to take if I got sick.  I about fell to my knees when they arrived in the post.  

 

When I did get sick, I took the forbidden fruit, & guess what...  I didn't die!  But I did live happily ever after. 

 

We need to start learning to live & let live.  Wear masks if you want to...  Get vaccinated if you like...  Access outpatient plague treatment if it makes you feel better (IT DID!).  

 

What's all this "New Way" of coercion and mandates?  It's a shite way to treat your fellow man.  

 

"The new way of coercion and mandates".

 

It was known for quite some time from the Milgram experiment that a majority of the population can be easily manipulated into torturing and killing their fellow man. The COVID panic  confirmed this experimental result. We say, live and let live. They say F$#^k you, take the shot. They say "F*&^%k you, wear the mask. They say "F#%&* your small business and your church. Some people might forget how how much rabid hatred there was for dissenting opinions - don't forget.

As published and well-documented in the NEJM, the Pfizer COVID mRNA trial was sloppy, rushed, and fraudulent.

 

Once Pfizer and the FDA were forced to release the trial documents (what were they trying to hide?) it was found that there were over 1,000 deaths and tens of thousands of severe side effects. The reports are not in dispute. Some argue that the severe side effects and deaths are of no concern.

 

A new pre-print finds many inconsistencies in the tracking of deaths and severe side effects during the trial.

 

The latest mRNA booster was rubber-stamped by the FDA with the flimsiest of "trials", even though the CDC data (if you believe the CDC anymore) indicates that the vast majority of hospitalizations from COVID have been in the vaccinated. Unfortunately, the CDC is incompetent and made many statistical/numerical errors during the COVID panic. 

 

People still do not realize the wide scope of gas-lighting, lies, and propaganda during the COVID panic, mostly perpetrated by the US government and US national media. Even top reproductive health organizations were given millions of dollars to push the COVID injections.

Surely the newest mRNA booster wasn't released after only a 50 person trial?

 

Seriously?

Oh for cryin' out loud.  Can't believe this!  

 

The CDC is STILL recommending those who've recently had COVID to get boosted as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions about COVID-19 Vaccination  (Updated Sept. 12, 2023)

 

Preparing for Your Vaccine

 

"Can I get vaccinated against COVID-19 while I am currently sick with COVID-19"

 

"No. You should wait to be vaccinated until after you complete your isolation period."

 

They do throw us a little bone here: "Additionally, you may consider delaying your next vaccine by 3 months from when your symptoms started or, if you had no symptoms, when you received a positive test."

People injured or bereaved by Covid vaccines ‘speak in code online over censorship fears

 

People left injured or bereaved from vaccines are being forced to speak in code online about their symptoms for fear of censorship, the Covid Inquiry has heard.

Baroness Hallett, the inquiry’s chair, was also told at a hearing on Wednesday that healthcare workers are afraid to speak out about side effects they have had from the jab, over fears they will be punished by their bosses.

It comes as campaign groups representing hundreds of people who suffered illness or lost loved ones after being vaccinated will be allowed to give evidence to the public inquiry.

 

Anne Morris KC, representing UK CV Family, Vaccine Injured Bereaved UK (VIBUK) and the Scottish Vaccine Injury Group, told the inquiry: “Censorship is a very real issue for the vaccine injured and bereaved.

“Their support groups have been shut down by social media platforms and their experiences censored by the mainstream media.

“They have to speak in code online for fear of having the only source of support taken away from them.”

New published study in NEJM shows virtually no benefit of the COVID injections in kids and adolescents. That is why so many countries in the world are not recommending the COVID injections to kids. All risk/harm and no benefit. The injections raise the level of one specific antibody but maybe at the detriment to the rest of the immune system.

Yet in the US our public health authorities are anti-science and are pushing the COVID injections on kids because of a study in 8 mice and because there is apparently still an extreme emergency going on and the injections need EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION!!!!!

Also, has anyone got any more insight or information about the strange blood clots being found in deceased persons recently? I have seen a few doctors commenting about it.

Let’s start with why are you so seriously concerned with COVID vaccines? Is there anything you can physically do about it? Then do it. If not, them just keep up with the word of mouth.
Do you think vaccines kill people is that why? Do you think they do more harm then good? Do you think they will cause harm in the future ( if so can you provide proof for this for me)? Etc. etc,?

Next, which public health authorities are anti-science and can you show proof of that for me please?

And lastly, so because other countries aren’t doing what we are doing it must be a conspiracy? Is it because the rich want to get richer? That would actually make sense to me.

For everyone here : Have you ever seen that film ‘Contagion’ with Matt Damon? All anti-vaxxers on here should watch this film because you all sound like the Alan Krumwiede character played by Jude Law (especially play the scene where he is on live television) just watch it and ask yourself if you might be very, very intelligent, but still be wrong about Covid, that can happen you know. This movie should be thought for certain college courses.

In the past I’m pretty sure governments used to help with things like polio , but now it’s corporarions and lets face it they are all about the bottom line, making money that’s it, that’s what corporations do, right? So yes it scares me when a corporation is working on a medication I need to take or I might die most likely, still I didn’t want that so I took it anyway, but who knows if they lied about the efficacy of the drug or what damage it can do to a person later on life. Like people believe that autism was caused by certain injections, so something worse might happen this time so people are scared of what’s might happen to their children or their children.

Seven people in my family got covid except me because my I got my first main shot right away and then got 2 boosters , and I never got sick. I guess time will tell if I do but I will probably get another one unless someone here is sure I shouldn’t go threw with it and presents a compelling argument, then sure I might change my mind.

LongLiveTheNewFlesh, as an example of why I believe you haven't read the thread, consider the following:

 

In post # 1386 you ask of Mind:

 

"Let’s start with why are you so seriously concerned with COVID vaccines?"

 

Look at his posts #96, #102, #124

 

In post #127 Mind writes:

 

"Even though I have written it several times already....here goes again....for the record....for the umpteenth time.

 
Preliminary data indicates that the COVID injections alleviate symptoms of the disease and reduce the chance of death.
 
They do not prevent you from contracting the disease (absolute fact).
 
They do not prevent you from transmitting the disease (absolutely true)
 
They do not prevent people from getting sick - only reduce the odds.(another fact) See here.
 
They do not prevent people from dying - only reduce the odds. (true). See here.
 
If you still think that the COVID injections stop the spread of the disease you are not listening to the current head of the CDC who said, the shots do not prevent the spread of the disease."
 
If you go to post #127 you will see where Mind provided 3 links for his assertions. You may disagree with what he has written, but the fact is, is that he provides reference links, and at that juncture, it is you that must provide countervailing references if you happen to disagree with his claims. In addition, in other posts you will find Mind referencing deleterious effects which should be of concern to those taking the jab. The point being is that you would not have had to ask your question in post #1386 if you had read the thread.
 
I'm not going to address your other questions by showing you where in the thread that Mind has written posts that cover them--that's up to you to do.

Testimony in South Carolina over concerns of DNA integration due to all the contamination in mRNA

https://twitter.com/...090236722884969

 

"This is an excellent interview by @MaryanneDemasi with Phillip Buckhaults that I think will answer a lot of people's questions about why DNA integration is a particular concern here (enters the cell in LNPs, a huge number of DNA fragments)

 

He talks about how Pfizer apparently tried to clean out the DNA but instead broke it up into "a bazillion" pieces making the likelihood of integration much higher. "

Some countries have started compensating people for injuries from the jab. In japan, if someone dies from it, they will get 44 million yen as compensation, which is not that much. It seems the drug companies won't distribute the jab in countries in which they do not get complete legal protection against side effects. Obviously they know they would get hammered if people could sue for injury. They know better than anyone how dangerous it is but they will do it for money.

Bottom line is that understanding of the human body and its biological processes remains incomplete. For example, something as simple as cholesterol they get wrong all the time and put people on drugs that worsen their heath.  How the hell is the medical establishment going to get a vaccine that tinkers with genetics right?  They aren't.  

 

They haven't got other, simpler vaccines right either. Take gardasil for hpv. Research its documented side effects. Put those side by side with the safety assurances of the manufacturers. You'll see the approval of gardasil was just as whacked as this mRNA shit-show. 

 

We now know the mRNA vaccines are dangerous. FDA and the manufacturers have been lying about the mRNA vaccines, they continue to lie, and they are presently engaged in a cover-up of the carnage they've caused.   

 

It would be naive to think the industry and its government "watchdogs" suddenly became corrupt in 2020. There's plenty of evidence the public has been snookered for a lot longer.

Remember how consumer watch dogs and health advocates used to decry the practice of big-pharma companies advertising their products on TV or any mass media. This practice is explicitly against the law in some countries.

 

In the U.S. every other commercial on TV is a drug commercial and now we have commercials for everyone to get the latest (6th? 7th?) COVID booster.

 

A reminder: the mRNA injections have never gone through a legit long-term human trial (past animal trials were all failures). The trial they did conduct was well-documented as sloppy and fraudulent. The injections produce severe side effects and death in some cases (multiple peer-reviewed studies), The CDC publicly admitted to lying about tracking adverse events from the COVID injections, you are MORE likely to get COVID if you get the injections (peer-reviewed), and hardly any countries in the world are recommending the COVID injections for healthy young people - EXCEPT the U.S. where it is being advertised non-stop. The national news is pushing the COVID injections relentlessly. The US/UK governments are still trying to censor anyone and everyone who mentions anything negative about the COVID injections.

 

It is like a machine that cannot be stopped (in the US/UK), even while the rest of the world has taken a more rational and scientific approach.

Vaccine enthusiast Paul Offit(age 72)  - LINK (video)

 

 

"I think I'm protected. I didn't get last year's bivalent vaccine. I'm not getting this year's vaccine because I think I have high frequencies of T-cells...

We're going to find out about this vaccine over time. It is a novel strategy.

 

We certainly were surprised by myocarditis and pericarditis and we'll see whether or not over time when we're 5 years into this, 10 years into this, 15 years into this, whether there's any evidence of residual myocardial disease because the reason you have myocarditis is you're making immune response to your own heart muscle...We'll find out about that over time."

 

 

Nothing about the testing of the current shot against the circulating strain, b/c there is none!

The CDC continues to hide data about side effects from the COVID injections. Considering how they continue to hide data about the effectiveness of the injections and they have admitted to lying about tracking adverse events, why does anyone believe them when they say that myocarditis and other heart problems are basically non-existent in regards to the COVID injections? In this thread alone, dozens of peer-reviewed and observational studies have been posted indicating a strong correlation between the COVID injections and heart problems. Here is another one.

 

I know the CDC is lying because I personally know a healthy young doctor who got pericarditis within days of getting the COVID injection. Do I just happen to know one of the people (out of the few) in the entire country that the CDC claims has suffered heart issues due to the COVID injections? Almost impossible for this to be the case.

 

Recent emails that were forced out of the CDC and NIH through FOIA requests (because the US health bureaucrats are trying to hide everything related to COVID and the COVID injections), show that they were well aware of the heart issues FROM THE BEGINNING and were basically scrambling for a way to message the public and ignore the myocarditis/heart risk.

 

Here is another summary of all of the data that was known from the beginning relating to the heart issues caused by the COVID injections.

Since the roll-out of the injections, cancer rates in young people have soared. Deadly skin diseases have soared as well. When these rates go up by 10, 20, 30 percent, that is significant, even if the absolute numbers are low. One of the tragedies in the US is that people who are injured or killed by vaccines are not only ignored but vilified. Same thing for doctors who dare keep track of vaccine injuries and deaths. If you are injured or killed by any other company or any other pharmaceutical you get help, you get reimbursed, you have advocates, the government is on your side - EXCEPT for vaccines - then you are on your own and the (US) government will try to destroy you. How awful.

_____________________

 

In other news, contrary to low-powered faulty studies produced early in the COVID panic, a more detailed look at vaccination and "Long COVID" reveals that the COVID injections have no effect on "long COVID".

 

But then again, there is no robust definition of long COVID. No one can say for sure if it is a real syndrome. Some researchers have looked into the methodological flaws in trying to describe and accumulate data about the mysterious "long COVID" - and it is a mess.

 

The only symptom I have seen that lingers in some people is loss of smell or taste.

Mind, you appear to be wholly unaware of the nature of long COVID. It's a lot more than just a loss of smell.

 

This is in spite of the fact that I explained what LC is in more than one post. It's probably not worth me making the effort to explain it again, if my previous attempts to enlighten failed.

I sometimes lurk on Phoenix Rising and correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there a contingent of people there that claim to have got ME/CFC from the Pfizer/Moderna vaccine?

 

Some claim to have a constellation of symptoms remarkably similar to Long Covid if I'm not mistaken.

 

Am I wrong about that?

Yes, the COVID vaccines can sometimes trigger ME/CFS, as can many other types of vaccine. There is some data to suggest that about 1% or 2% of ME/CFS patients have their illness triggered by a vaccine. But most cases of ME/CFS are triggered by a viral infection.

 

Just why vaccination can trigger ME/CFS is a mystery. But equally, just how viruses can trigger ME/CFS is also a mystery.

I'd be sort of surprised if there were any hard data on that.

 

So what data suggest 1-2%?

 

And what data exists specifically on the mRNA covid vaccines vis-à-vis ME/CFS?

So what data suggest 1-2%?

 

Some published correspondence by the ME/CFS doctor and researcher Dr John Chia suggests 1.5% of ME/CFS cases are due to vaccination. As a clinician, Dr Chia has a great interest in the medical histories of his ME/CFS patients, and often delves into each patient's background. He observed about 1.5% of patients reporting their illness starting just after vaccination (see table 1).

 

Another study found 5% of ME/CFS cases followed hepatitis B vaccine (though other triggering factors may also be involved). Hepatitis B vaccine is the one most heavily implicated vaccines for triggering ME/CFS. 

 

However, according to a patient survey by Dr Charles Shepherd of the UK ME Association, as well as the hepatitis B vaccine, influenza, BCG, tetanus, meningitis, MMR, polio, hepatitis A and typhoid vaccines are linked to triggering ME/CFS. 

 

I also once ran a complex poll myself, asking ME/CFS patients (amongst other things) what they believe triggered their ME/CFS, and out of 169 respondents, 3.6% reported vaccination started their illness. 

 

 

So several sources of data suggest that a few percent of ME/CFS patients have their illness triggered by vaccination. 

 

 

And what data exists specifically on the mRNA covid vaccines vis-à-vis ME/CFS?


I am not sure if the COVID vaccines are more likely to trigger ME/CFS than other types of vaccines. I have not seen any data.

 

But anecdotally, there do seem to be lots of people on the long COVID Reddit forums with COVID vaccine-triggered ME/CFS, so I would not be surprised if the COVID vaccines had more propensity to triggering ME/CFS than other vaccines.

Mind, you appear to be wholly unaware of the nature of long COVID. It's a lot more than just a loss of smell.

 

This is in spite of the fact that I explained what LC is in more than one post. It's probably not worth me making the effort to explain it again, if my previous attempts to enlighten failed.

 
  

 

There is no robust definition of "Long COVID". Without a standard definition there is no way to gather good data. Several studies have cast doubt upon the prevalence of long COVID. Here is another one - a large population study from Denmark. People infected with COVID do not show any increased prevalence of other disease conditions post infection.

Remember when women were smeared as anti-vaxxers when they complained about and reported menstrual abnormalities/bleeding after getting the COVID injections. Remember when they were called stupid for believing that the COVID injection spread beyond their arm. Remember when they were censored off of social media for talking about it. Remember when people in this forum said you were crazy to believe the COVID injection had anything whatsoever to do with reproductive problems.

 

There was always overwhelming data - from the sloppy human trials and even way back to the mouse trials of mRNA technology - that the COVID injections would and did cause menstrual/reproductive problems. The US government ignored it. National news outlets vilified anyone who talked about it.

 

Now Nature confirms what was known from the beginning - excessive menstrual bleeding is a side effect of the COVID injections.

 

Don't expect any apologies. Don't expect any national news coverage. Don't expect any compensation from the US government. Our public health establishment is led by incompetent and unethical people.

Nonsense.

 

If you actually spend time researching the subject you are posting about, you would find that most of LC is a ME/CFS-like illness and/or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).   

 

I mentioned that last time.

 

Of course, you are on record as stating that LC is very rare, which is completely false.

Lol. I am the one posting peer-reviewed studies.

Recall when you were told, don't worry, the vaccine stays in your arm. That is not true - based upon reams of peer-reviewed evidence and autopsies. The COVID injection goes to every organ of the body. Here is more autopsy evidence from a major hospital in the US. Here is another summary of some of the studies.

 

Not only has peer-reviewed evidence found that you are MORE likely to get COVID with every booster you take, but now it has been found you are MORE likely to be sick and take time off of work with every booster you take. I can confirm this subjectively at my workplace. People who took the injections are constantly getting sick and taking days off work, basically every other month. This is not normal.

 

Given all this, you would think the CDC would take a more cautious approach, but they continue to spread false and misleading information about the safety profile of the COVID injections, even spreading the false claim the myocarditis is more common in association with a COVID infection than with the COVID injection, a position that runs contrary to multiple peer-reviewed studies.

 

The CDC also famously lied about tracking adverse events from the COVID injections (they publicly admitted it)., now the MHRA in the UK has admitted failure in monitoring the safety of the manufacturing process. Multiple teams of experts from around the world have found various contaminants in the COVID injections - here is another "shocking" find.

You are diverting from the point I made, which is that you don't appear to know anything about long COVID, and yet you go around posting about it.

 

You don't even appear to know what illnesses come under the long COVID label. You think long COVID is just a loss of the sense of smell!
