A mostly subconscious genocide
Toby Rogers
40 min ago September 7, 2022
Vaccine injury is really really expensive. Vaccine injury in children roughly doubles educational costs and vaccine injury in all ages massively increases healthcare costs. That’s why it’s Pharma’s business model.
I naïvely thought (coming out of my Ph.D. program in 2019) that the costs of vaccine injury are so extraordinary, that politicians would be desperate to have a conversation about how to prevent these harms (give far fewer shots, it’s not complicated).
The California Democratic Party came up with a different idea — just kick the vaccine injured and their families out of school and out of the state. That’s what SB 277 (2015) and SB 276 (2019) did. In California today, there are no religious, philosophical, or medical exemptions to vaccination. If your kid brother died or was disabled from a shot you still have to get the full CDC schedule in order to attend school. If you were disabled by a shot, you are exempt from further doses of that one shot but no others. Any doctor who tries to write a medical exemption will lose his/her license. This goes against a century of best practices in medicine.
The result is that the unvaccinated and the vaccine injured instantly became medical refugees and were forced to leave the state. 182,083 California residents fled the state in 2020, and the number of people fleeing the state has grown every year since.
https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/...1558x1100.jpeg
Partly that’s the result of the outrageously high cost of living. But I know at least 5 large families (including Del Bigtree and his family) who were forced to move to free states including Texas, Florida, and Idaho, so that their kids could go to school.
Pharma loves mandate bills because they help wipe out the unvaccinated control group and thus hide evidence of their crimes against humanity. California Democrats (and state Democratic legislators nationwide) love vaccine mandates because:
1.) they magically make educational costs decline by getting rid of vaccine injured students and,
2.) by forcing unvaccinated families out of the state, Democrats get rid of their fiercest critics (who will never vote Democratic again).
I imagine that Bill Gates, Pharma CEOs, and a handful of other elites know exactly what’s going on. But California Democrats are not that clever. They just go with the zeitgeist and the whispers of Pharma donors in their ears who are telling them they just really need to kick vaccine injured kids and their families out of school and out of the state.
As I’ve written before, “the base determines the superstructure” — the base is Eds & Meds and iatrogenocide is the economic model for the state and the nation. 95% of all thoughts are subconscious. The dendrites necessary to process empathy and reason are dead in Dems because of massive overvaccination. So Dems feel like brilliant problem solvers when they implement Pharma totalitarianism and voilà education costs become a bit more manageable.
Now it’s happening again. The Biden Administration announced yesterday that Covid-19 shots will become a once a year ritual like the flu shot. There are of course several problems with this announcement. The flu shot does not work — it’s 0% to 14% effective depending on which study you read. Flu shots cause the most payouts in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Covid-19 shots are much worse — according to the CDC’s own data these shots have negative efficacy, according the CDC’s VAERS system these are the most dangerous shots in American history, and all-cause mortality has increased since the introduction of these shots.
As I pointed out on Instagram last night,
A once a year Covid-19 shot with negative efficacy and increased all-cause mortality is not a vaccination program, it’s a cull.
It is no secret that the flu shot and now the Covid-19 shots are targeted at captive populations — seniors and the disabled. With the flu shot, seniors are targeted with extra high dose formulations. Now with Covid-19 shots, seniors and the disabled will be forced to take shots that completely skipped clinical trials; they will not be properly monitored for safety in the population either.
This is where the magical thinking of the Biden Administration, the public health establishment, and the bougie mainstream becomes incredibly problematic. Once one drops the magical thinking and looks at the data as it really is, one realizes that eugenics — an annual cull of the aged and disabled — is now official government policy in the United States. Covid-19 mitigation is the official cover story (as typhus was for the Nazis) but when the shot doesn’t work then there is no mitigation happening. This is just mass murder of the most vulnerable members of society.
Again, I doubt much of this is conscious for most Democratic policymakers who are so eager to tick boxes and appear to be doing something. They just feel really good about themselves for somehow saving the Social Security and Medicare trust funds — so long as they never allow themselves to realize that the reason these programs are solvent is because they are killing off the people who use these programs. Meanwhile Bill Gates and the billionaire warlords are delighted that the population pressures that might lead to calls for increased taxation on their wealth are being systematically eliminated.
If these eugenic policies are allowed to stand, they will just grow and get worse (as vaccine injury comes to consume an ever-larger share of the economy and Dems respond with even weirder subconscious policies). Covid-19 shots must be removed from the market entirely. All mandate bills must be repealed. Pharma must be made liable for the harms caused by their products. Those are the minimum requirement necessary for us to return to being a civilized society.
Blessings to the warriors.
Prayers for everyone working to stop the iatrogenocide.
In the comments, please let me know what’s on your mind.
As always, I welcome any corrections.

Re: Coronavirus
The following is an Israeli whistleblower's recording and now shared public release of a Zoom meeting of the Israeli Health Ministry's actual findings that show a CAUSAL relationship between "RECHALLENGE" injuries and the "COVID vaccine."
Read about this HERE
Coffee & Covid ☙ Thursday, September 8, 2022 ☙ RE-CHALLENGE
Philanthropist anti-vaxxer Steve Kirsch is on a rampage. His September 2nd Substack is all about a story he called the most important thing he’d ever written, and that should be front-page news, at least in Israel if not globally, about an Israeli whistleblower who reported definitive proof of jab injury causation, a report that was buried under a pile of lies by the Israeli Ministry of Health.
Briefly, after being widely criticized for failing to track vaccine injuries at all, the Israeli government hired a third party research group in December of last year. Their job was to analyze the insurance data from one of Israel’s large HMOs, which covers about 15% of Israelis.
In June, the researchers presented their findings in a zoom meeting to senior officials with Israel’s Ministry of Health. The results were so worrisome that they even suggested that the government consider the legal liability ramifications. There were three main categories in the report.
First, the researchers said they found “new signals,” which are side effects not currently associated with the jabs, including neurological side effects such as hypoesthesia, paresthesia, tinnitus, and dizziness; back pain; and digestive system symptoms in children (abdominal pain).
Second, they found long-term effects that contradicted the prevailing notion that most adverse events happen right after taking the shot. They discovered side effects that were chronic or long-lasting, including menstrual irregularities, various neurological side effects, musculo-skeletal injuries, GI problems, and kidney and urinary system problems.
Third, and most importantly, the researchers discovered many cases of “re-challenge,” which is the recurrence or worsening of a side effect following repeated doses of the vaccines. In fact, they identified cases of re-challenge in all the 5 most common side effects they analyzed.
We’ve heard over and over that “correlation does not equal causation.” But in the private briefing, the researchers stressed that, according to established literature, their ‘rechallenge’ findings PROVE a causal relationship between the vaccine and the adverse effects.
That’s HUGE.
The Ministry of Health slow-walked the response. It took two months to get around to publishing a public report on the group’s findings. The public report completely rewrote what the researchers actually found, it was a complete whitewash, and it falsely told the Israeli public that the research project had proved that adverse events were rare, short-lived, and the jabs were safe and effective.
In other words, the exact opposite of what the researchers told them.
A big fat lie.
What the Ministry of Health didn’t know was that an unidentified whistleblower secretly recorded the zoom call, and after the false public report was issued, the whistleblower sent the recorded zoom meeting to a few people, including Israeli journalist Yaffa Shir-Raz, who broke the story. Yaffa was fired from Israel’s biggest newspaper last year after she tweeted critical things about the jabs.

Breaking: The Israeli Ministry of Health caught lying and manipulating an expert report on adverse events
| 43467 צפיות
The Israeli MOH had no adverse events reporting system for the entire year of 2021. They commissioned a research team to analyze the reports from a new system instituted on December 2021. 6 months later the study's findings indicated long-term side effects, including some not listed by Pfizer, and a causal relationship - so the MOH publish manipulative report, lying that no new signal was found
22 אוגוסט 2022 | Yaffa Shir-Raz | English
"Here we will have to really think medical-legal. Why medical-legal? Because for quite a few adverse events we said: 'OK, it exists, and there is a report, but still get vaccinated'. I mean, we have to think about how to write it and how to present it correctly. So this will not yield lawsuits later: 'Wait, wait, wait, you said everything will pass and you can get vaccinated. And now look what happened to me. The phenomenon continues'".
The speaker is Prof. Mati Berkowitz, a pediatric specialist, head of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology unit at Shamir Medical Center, and head of the research team appointed by the Israeli Ministry of Health (IMOH) to examine the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine. This crucial study was based on a new adverse event reporting system the MOH launched in December 2021 – 12 months AFTER rolling out the vaccines to the public, since the one instituted in December 2020, as they now officially admit, was dysfunctional and did not allow an analysis of the data. In an internal Zoom meeting in early June, the recording of which was leaked to the press, Prof. Berkowitz warned MOH seniors that they should think carefully how to present his study's findings to the public, otherwise they may be sued, since they completely contradict the MOH's claims that serious side effects are rare, short term and transient. After analyzing the reports received over a period of 6 months, the research team found that many serious side effects were in fact long-term, including ones not listed by Pfizer, and establish causal relations with the vaccine. Yet, instead of publishing the findings transparently to the public, the MOH withheld them for nearly two months, and when it finally released an official report, it misrepresented and manipulated the findings, minimizing the extent of reports, and stating that no new adverse events ("signals") were found, and that the events that were detected were not necessarily caused by the vaccine, even though the researchers themselves said the exact opposite..
Background: "The world's laboratory" had no reliable monitoring system
As is well known, Israel was crowned, by none other than Pfizer's CEO Albert Burla, "the world's laboratory". And for a good reason. Indeed, Israel has a very high vaccination rate and was the first in the world to give boosters to everyone. In fact, Pfizers' request for the approval of the boosters was at least partially based on the so-called study conducted in Israel. Israel was also one of the first countries in the world to vaccinate pregnant women.
Yet, as the MOH now admits, during this entire critical year in which the vast majority of Israelis were vaccinated, most of them with 2-3 doses, the vaccine adverse events reporting system was dysfunctional and did not enable a reliable analysis of the data.
In fact, since the beginning of the vaccination campaign, many Israeli experts have expressed serious concerns regarding the ability of the IMOH to monitor the safety of the vaccine and provide reliable data to the world. Nevertheless, the IMOH told the Israeli public, to the FDA, and to the entire world, that they have a surveillance system, and that they are closely monitoring the data. For example, Prof. Retsef Levy from MIT, an expert in health systems and risk management, voiced serious criticism during a Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee meeting on September 17 which focused on the approval of the booster dose, stating that the system is dysfunctional and that the safety of COVID-19 vaccines is not properly monitored properly. In response, Dr. Sharon Alroi-Preis, the Health Ministry's head of public services and a top COVID adviser to the Israeli government, claimed that she is "pretty surprised with Retsef Levi's comment that Israel doesn't follow adverse events". Dr. Alroi-Preis stated: "It's our data. I'm in charge of it. So I know exactly what is being reported to us".
Only at the end of December 2021, a year after starting the vaccine rollout did the MOH finally institute a proper system, to coincide with the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in children aged 5-11. The new system is based on a non-anonymous digital reporting form, which the Ministry asked all public HMOs (Health Management Organizations) to distribute among all patients after they had been vaccinated, so that those who suffered side effects could report them. At the same time, the ministry appointed Prof. Mati Berkowitz and his staff members to analyze the reports. The analysis was done on reports received from the HMOs in Israel over a period of 6 months – from the beginning of December 2021 to the end of May 2022.
The team examined both the close categories of side effects that were set by the MOH (there were 7 such categories), and the free text (they identified 22 categories of side effects). Due to limited time and resources, they decided to first analyze only the 5 most common side effects they identified: 1. neurological injuries; 2. general side effects; 3. menstrual irregularities; 4. musculoskeletal system disorders; and 5. digestive system/kidney and urinary system.

New signals, long-term adverse events, and re-challenge
In early June, the researchers presented their findings to MOH senior officials, including Dr. Emilia Anis, head of the MOH's epidemiological department. Here are their main findings and points:
New signals – The research team identified and characterized side effects not listed by Pfizer, including neurological side effects such as hypoesthesia, paresthesia, tinnitus, and dizziness; back pain; and digestive System symptoms in children (abdominal pain).
Long-term events – The research team repeatedly stressed during the discussion that their findings indicate that, contrary to what we were told so far, in many cases, serious adverse events are long-term, that last weeks, months, a year, or even more, and in some cases – ongoing, so that the side effect still lasted when the study was over. These include menstrual irregularities and various neurological side effects, muscle-skeletal injuries, GI problems, and kidney and urinary system adverse events.
Re-challenge – The researchers found many cases of re-challenge – recurrence or worsening of a side effect following repeated doses of the vaccine. In fact, they identified cases of re-challenge in all the 5 most common side effects they analyzed - e.g., neurological injuries; general side effects; menstrual irregularities; musculoskeletal system disorders; and digestive system/kidney and urinary system.
https://bit.ly/3cyUx2G
An important example that demonstrates the severity of these findings is menstrual disorders.
Long-lasting - In one of the slides, the researchers wrote: "Studies carried out on the above-mentioned subject noted short-term abnormalities (up to a few days) in the menstrual cycle. However, over 90% of the reports detailing the characteristics of the duration of this adverse event indicate long-term changes (emphasis in the original. Y.S). Over 60% indicate duration of over 3 months".
Rechallenge - Then in ~10% of the cases, the problem recurred following additional doses.
WhatsApp Image 2022 08 21 at 17.55.09
Professor Retsef Levi, who is also a member of the Israel Public Emergency Council for the COVID 19 Crisis, said in an interview with GB News that the example of long-term menstrual disorders detected in the study also demonstrates the authorities' response to the public's reports. At first, they utterly deny any causal relationship between these disorders and the COVID-19 vaccines – in this case they denied it despite countless reports that flooded the internet from the very beginning of the vaccination rollout. Then, when the reports still continued and became impossible to deny, the authorities, and experts on their behalf, changed the narrative admitting there might be a relationship, but even if there is, these are mild and transient changes. They only last a few days and they have no future implications on fertility.
The researchers' conclusions: The findings establish causality, and may lead to lawsuits
1. Causality – The researchers emphasize that, according to the literature, these findings establish causal relations between the vaccine and the side effect.
As can be heard in the following clip, Prof. Berkowitz stresses that it increases the chances of causality "from possible to definite":
"One of the things that are strong here is the re-challenge. We know about medications. There is the Naranjo scale [the Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) Probability Scale]. Naranjo, when there is an adverse event which recurs with the re-challenge, it turns from 'possible' to definite, to significant".
2. Think Medical-Legal – as if all this wasn’t damning enough, Prof. Berkowitz warns the MOH officials, in reference to the long-lasting side effects, they should think carefully how to present his study's findings to the public, since they completely contradict their claims that serious side effects are rare, short term and transient.
The HMO's are keeping the data close to their chests
The research team explained during the meeting that their study one important limitation - they only got cooperation from one small HMO to share the data it received from the new reporting system. (Israel's health system is divided into 4 different HMO-type organizations; each Israeli is signed up with one of them) None of the other 3 HMO's shared their data, including Israel’s 2 largest ones – Clalit and Maccabi. Prof. Berkowitz said that they are keeping the data 'close to their chests.
The only HMO that did share the data (Meuhedet) is very small, representing only about 15% of the Israeli population, with a heavy religious population, who has lower vaccination rates than the general population, and seldom use smartphones, so most of them were not even able to receive the text message.
Two other limitations mentioned by the research team:
The most severe cases were not even included in the analysis. There were 173 cases of hospitalization and ER visits that were separately examined by a dedicated expert committee.
The researchers stressed they still have a lot of work, since they only analyzed the 5 top common side effects, but there were 17 others (including cardiovascular, which was 6th most common) that they did not yet analyzed.
'The denominator report' - concealment, manipulation and cover-up
Although the IMOH was aware of these findings, they withheld them for 2 months, not only from the public, but even from their own expert committee that decided on June 30 to approve the vaccine for infants as young as 6 months. That decision was made 3 weeks after the IMOH had been warned about these results and their implications.
The formal report was finally released, on August 20, in a closed press briefing, and surprisingly, the MOH admitted in it, black on white, that Israel did not have a functional adverse events reporting system until December 2021. The unbelievable explanation: "As the vaccination operation progressed, data was received from the anonymous online form, but without the ability to process and professionally validate the data".
Yet, even after receiving such serious findings and warnings, they manipulated the data and tried to hide crucial information to make the vaccine look safe.
'No new signal' – The MOH went so far as to claim there were no new adverse events found in the study that were not already known – no new signals. What about the neurological injuries, which the researchers said are not even mentioned in Pfizer's label? What about the long duration, or the re-challenge? None of these findings is anywhere to be found in the official report.
https://rumble.com/v1i7gnf-israeleak-no-4.html
Manipulating the numbers – In order to promote the narrative of "rare adverse events", the MOH divided the number of reports received in a denominator of the total number of doses given in Israel for the entire year and a half since the beginning of the vaccine rollout - ~18 million, hiding the fact that they only instituted the system in December 2021, and that the analysis was done on reports received during the 6 months until May 2022, from one small HMO.
This ignores the known fact that such passive reporting systems cover only a fraction of the actual events. That would still be true even if the system was operational throughout the entire vaccination period and used by all HMOs (which of course is not the current case). This manipulation - using the denominator of the total doses, was repeated in each of the categories of the side effects in the report.
Furthermore, it turns out that in order to downplay the rate of reports on menstrual irregularities, the MOH used a denominator of the total number of all adult doses – ~16 million – and thus, absurdly, included men in the equation of how common menstrual irregularities are.
https://rumble.com/v1h6saz-89336267.html
Global implications
The discussion exposed in the leaked video has far-reaching and worrying implications, at a global level. While Israel is a relatively small country, it was dubbed "the world's laboratory". The eyes of much of the world were on it, and the FDA and other regulators have repeatedly cited its experience with the vaccine as a basis for policymaking, including on boosters and mandates and much else. So if Israel did not in fact have a functioning adverse event monitoring system in place and its data was a fiction, and if even when it did launch a proper monitoring system a year too late, the analysis of the findings they completely ignored and withheld – what was the FDA really relying on? What were all those regulators relying on?
The Ministry of Health did not respond to Real-Time Magazine's requests for comment. Prof. Mati Berkowitz refused to comment and referred us to the IMOH.

50 Reasons to Give Your Child the COVID Shot

Excerpt from article
An Urgent Communiqué from Dr. Mike Yeadon
This deserves to be a guest post in its own right, but I don’t want to delay sharing it so will paste it below and ask you to share a link to this section of my article (which you can get by hovering in the lefthand white space next to the subtitle, and a link graphic will pop up that you can click to copy the anchor link url, but here it is, in any case), The Conservative Woman article, or Joel Smalley’s post (pre-edited version).
DEAR everyone nervously looking around and asking ‘What the hell is going on?’: this is the most important single message I’ve ever written. I hope this isn’t too controversial. It’s certainly frightening, but I believe we are still the right side of disaster and if enough of us become aware of what is happening here and throughout the democratic world, we can recover the situation. However we really don’t have long. I believe it’s likely things will change irretrievably over this coming winter.
Everything that’s happened and is happening becomes much simpler and it all makes sense when you force yourself to think the impossible. If you experimentally adopt the position that our government is actively working to harm us, to dismantle modern society and enslave the people in a digitally controlled totalitarian world, it all fits. Nothing is surplus.
Even if your immediate response is that this is absurd, please try it for a day or so.
I ask you further to adopt the experimental position that the media, controlled by just six global corporations, all allied to a single global organisation you’ve all heard of, is relentlessly lying to you and has been doing so for more than two and a half years. Same for the internet, controlled by fewer global corporations, also all allied to that same global organisation.
I am certain it’s true because this all started with a scientific fraud relating to a virus, augmented with a relentless campaign of fear and measures known to be useless, which wrecked the economy and smashed civil society. Then we were coerced to accept unnecessary, ineffective and deliberately dangerous injections. Obviously this is an odious crime. Nothing like it has ever happened.
I have absolutely no incentive to say any of this if I wasn’t certain. I am certain. This all took place ‘in my wheelhouse’, my domain of expertise.
I’ve been 41 years in life sciences from training to successful biotech CEO and was worldwide research head and Vice President of Pfizer’s respiratory unit (1995–2011). Here’s what a former Pfizer board member wrote about my accomplishments. Do I sound like a fool?
I’ve given more than 70 interviews, all censored. I’ve been foully smeared. It’s propaganda. It tells you what they’re capable of.
Many have asked why people didn’t resist tyrants in the past. Partly it is fear. But it’s more than that. It’s that normal people, like you and me, simply cannot imagine being so evil. We trust in humanity. And so we should. Most people are good. Few are truly terrifyingly horrible. But some are. It’s the inability to believe it’s happening that really stopped people objecting when they should, when the evidence was unmistakable but had not yet quite reached their door, their family. They are coming for you and your children. There’s ample evidence emerging of long-term, patient planning.
It’s now up to you. I genuinely don’t see what else I can do.
Best wishes,
Mike

Re: Coronavirus
Dachsie comment:
A poorly understood condition or disease. No studies yet. Subjects "definitely" diagnosed as having had "SARS COV 2 virus". No mention of whether those with this vague but serious condition had one of the "COVID 19 vaccines."
"Long Covid" is a meaningless term to me at this point. In addition to needing to know the distribution of this condition in "vaccinated" versus "unvaccinated", I would like to know the specific diagnostic test used to establish the diagnosis of " infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19."
There are large numbers of people suffering from a serious set of symptoms and I appreciate that there will be an effort for studies and research to find ways of helping these very ill people.

Billionaire-Backed Group Steps up Hunt for Long COVID Treatment
Forbes reported:
A group of top researchers, clinicians and patients stepped up efforts to combat Long COVID on Thursday, launching a new billionaire-backed initiative to search for drivers of the poorly understood condition and ultimately find treatments to help the millions of people around the world living with the disease.
The Long COVID Research Initiative (LCRI) hopes to accelerate efforts to understand and treat Long COVID, a sometimes disabling condition that lingers for months or years after infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
The group’s first goal — supported by $15 million dollars in funding from Balvi, a scientific investment fund led by crypto mogul and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin — will be to investigate the causes of Long COVID, with a particular focus on whether the virus stubbornly persists in the body after initial infection.

Key Facts
The Long Covid Research Initiative (LCRI) hopes to accelerate efforts to understand and treat Long Covid, a sometimes disabling condition that lingers for months or years after infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.
The group’s first goal—supported by $15 million dollars in funding from Balvi, a scientific investment fund led by crypto mogul and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin—will be to investigate the causes Long Covid, with a particular focus on whether the virus stubbornly persists in the body after initial infection.
Dr. Amy Proal, a microbiologist at the PolyBio Research Foundation and LCRI’s chief scientific officer, told Forbes the research is not just geared towards identifying the presence of the virus in the body but is also aimed at understanding the downstream impact it has on things like blood clotting and the immune system.
Proal said another key aim of LCRI’s research program is to identify measurable features of Long Covid that could form the backbone of clinical trials and help develop much-needed treatments for the condition.
Henry Scott-Green, one of LCRI’s co-founders and a Long Covid patient, told Forbes the group was founded with a “laser focus” on solving the problem of Long Covid and said its structure and funding is designed to cut bureaucracy and leapfrog slower government-funded research.
LCRI has already secured a commitment for further funding from the Chan Soon-Shiong Family Foundation, led by biotech billionaire Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong (the final amount has yet to be settled), and Scott-Green said the group is aiming to raise $100 million in order to help patients as soon as possible.
Key Background
Though more than a hundred million people around the world are expected to be suffering from Long Covid, the disease is still poorly understood. Its underlying causes are unknown. Proal said growing evidence lends strong support to the viral reservoir theory pursued by LCRI, but some researchers suspect blood clots or problems with the immune system could be to blame. It’s possible these issues could be interlinked. There are no proven treatments for the disease and its exact prevalence in Covid survivors is unknown, though research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests it could be as high as one in five. As well as leaving millions of people sick, the economic impact of Long Covid is enormous. The condition is keeping as many as 4 million people out of work and affects more than 16 million working age Americans, according to a report from the Brookings Institution. The annual cost of lost wages alone could be as high as $230 billion, Brookings estimates. “Many people aren’t really aware of the enormity of the problem of Long Covid,” Scott-Green said.
Big Number
1 in 13. That’s how many U.S. adults have Long Covid symptoms lasting three or more months after contracting the virus, according to data collected in June by the U.S. Census Bureau. The figure—around 20 million adults—does not include children and is likely an underestimate.
What To Watch For
Falling dominoes. Viral persistence is believed to be behind a number of other conditions including Myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as ME or chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple sclerosis (MS). Proal, whose research focuses on infection-associated chronic illnesses, told Forbes that when the pandemic started, Long Covid appeared to fit the bill. Though dedicated to working on Long Covid, Scott-Green said he hopes its model will one day be translated over to other chronic illnesses linked to infections. Hopefully Long Covid will be “the first domino in a series of breakthroughs,” he said.

Covid-19: China locks down 65 million
Across the country, 33 cities including seven provincial capitals are under full or partial lockdown covering more than 65 million people.
China has locked down 65 million of its citizens under tough COVID-19 restrictions and is discouraging domestic travel during upcoming national holidays, AP reports.
Across the country, 33 cities including seven provincial capitals are under full or partial lockdown covering more than 65 million people, according to a tally published late Sunday by the Chinese business magazine Caixin.
It said that outbreaks have been reported in 103 cities, the highest since the early days of the pandemic in early 2020.
Despite a relatively low number of infections, authorities have adhered to a “zero-COVID” policy requiring lockdowns, quarantines and the confining of people suspected of being in close contact with any confirmed case.
China recorded 1,552 new cases in the latest 24-hour period across a nation of 1.4 billion people, the National Health Commission reported Monday.
Most of the 21 million people in the southwestern city of Chengdu are confined to their apartments or residential complexes, while in the eastern port city of Tianjin, classes have ben moved online after 14 new cases were reported, all but two showing no symptoms.
Chengdu lifted the lockdown for about 1 million people in Qionglai city and Xinjin district, two areas in its southwest. Three more rounds of mass testing are being held through Wednesday. and schools remain closed with all classes online.
Sept. 10-12 is China’s mid-autumn festival, the country’s second-most important holiday after the Lunar New Year. The anti-virus measures have taken a major toll on the economy, travel and society in general, but China’s ruling Communist Party says they are necessary to prevent a wider spread of the virus, first detected in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019.
The fear of being caught in a lockdown or sent to a quarantine facility for even being in proximity with a person who tested positive has severely constrained people’s work, socializing and travel habits.
Since the outbreak began, China has placed tens of millions of people under lockdowns that have been strictly enforced, sometimes preventing residents from obtaining food, health care and basic necessities.
A more than five-week closure of Shanghai, China’s largest city and key financial hub, in the spring upended the local economy, prompted protests and led to an exodus of foreign residents.

Sounds like there must be some other reason for these lockdowns because what is reported in this article makes no sense. Outbreaks and cases not much related to having symptoms.

Pentagon Rejected Exemptions for Troops Who Oppose Covid Jabs, Redacted the Reasons for Denials
The United States Department of Defense has rejected exemptions for troops who have stated their objections to mRNA Covid-19 injections. In a number of cases, the Pentagon redacted the reasons for its denials, even upon Freedom of Information Act request for documentation.
One such case was Air Force Master Sgt. Nick Kupper, who filed for religious exemption, but was denied. Sgt. Kupper appealed the decision, while pointing out the chain-of-command was cut out of the decision-making process.
This is the relevant portion of the Pentagon’s response to the FOIA request for documentation.

This whole video seems like a disgusting propaganda ploy to deliver the message -- "get the vaccine."

The bizarre COVID side effect no one is talking about

A subset of COVID survivors are suffering from an unexpected side effect known as parosmia, a condition that causes their sense of smell to go haywire. Coffee smells like sewage and chicken smells like rotting garbage. Yara set out to learn how COVID is doing this to people, and what life is like when you smell and taste all the wrong things with no end in sight.
Parosmia
Dysfunction with smell detection
Parosmia (from the Greek παρά pará and ὀσμή osmḗ "smell") is a dysfunctional smell detection characterized by the inability of the brain to correctly identify an odor's "natural" smell. Instead, the natural odor is usually transformed into an unpleasant aroma, typically a "burned", "rotting", "fecal", or "chemical" smell. There can also be rare instances of a pleasant odor called euosmia. Wikipedia

EU Imploding, Pro-Biden Psyop Continues, CV19 Killer Clots

You are not seeing this in the reporting, but Europe is imploding in every way possible. The only thing that will stop this unfolding crash, is to stop the Ukraine war–and stop it now. There are no signs that is going to happen. There are plenty of signs that Europe’s coming monstrous crash will drag the globe into the Greatest Depression in history. Inflation is skyrocketing and the European Central Bank is coming to the rescue by raising interest rates .75%!!! Talk about throwing a drowning man a boat anchor, that’s what raising interest rates is at a time like now.
The pro-Biden psyop is in full swing, and it needs to be because the real numbers of his approval rating are around 12%. I said the real numbers, not the fake polling that shows Biden surging as inflation continues to roar. It makes no sense that Biden’s official approval rating, according to the propaganda media, was 42% last month, and now, he’s beating Trump in a 2024 matchup by 6 points. 48% for Biden and only 42% for Trump. August 21, 2022, NBC News slipped up and showed a poll where 74% of Americans said the “country was on the wrong track.” Fake news and fake polls abound in the pro-Biden Psyop. The real approval number according to Martin Armstrong is 12%. Let that sink in and that will explain a lot.
We are just getting started with the deadly and debilitating effects of the CV19 bioweapon injections. We have children getting heart disease, and people dropping dead because of the experimental shots. Now, more and more people are experience long blood clots being pulled from their veins. An Ohio junior in high school was the latest victim to have a 6-foot blood clot pulled from his leg. His football career is over, but will his life been cut short too? Doctors say they are “baffled,” but are they just covering up to keep their jobs? This is too stupid to be stupid. When are doctors going to stand up and say stop the shots. It’s killing and maiming people in very large numbers. It’s going to get much worse and that is the science and not the political science or the science fiction surrounding the Big LIE of the CV19 “vaccines.”

Crossroads
JOSHUA PHILIPP
An ingredient allegedly used in the COVID-19 vaccines is patented to help medications break through the blood-brain barrier, and the presence of this ingredient could pose a threat to the health and safety of the U.S. military, according to Dr. Samuel Sigoloff, a major in the U.S. Army and a whistleblower.
We speak with Dr. Sigoloff about his findings, his attempts to alert the U.S. military amid the vaccine mandates, and how he was punished for issuing his warnings.
