Births have markedly declined in Taiwan and countries where Europeans live since Covid injections rolled out in December 2020, reports claim.

Disclaimer: I’m required as an American physician to tell people to follow US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Covid vaccine guidelines, which say:

There is currently no evidence that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, cause fertility problems (problems trying to get pregnant) in women or men.

Nevertheless, it might be important to consider findings researchers say represent infertility signals CDC has not yet addressed.

I have not confirmed the accuracy, completeness, analysis, or significance of data furnished by governments and vaccine companies and relied on in the research reports linked here.

Some of these reports have not yet been peer reviewed but might provide warning signals others can critique or research further.

Nothing in this newsletter is medical advice. Please consult with your doctor in health matters.

Strong causal inference from current data

The evidence presented below is circumstantial and observational rather than interventional, e.g., from a randomized trial.

This means a causal relationship between Covid spike protein-encoding injections and fertility issues cannot be definitively proven from these reports alone.

But such causation is strongly suggested by (a) temporal associations, i.e., when fertility or pregnancy problems arise in many people soon after the injections; and (b) plausible mechanisms of disease involving inflammatory jab ingredients listed by manufacturers or reportedly found in vials by researchers — including lipid nanoparticle constituents, heavy metals, and the encoded viral spike protein. These substances might adversely affect the ovaries, testes, pituitary, hypothalamus, adrenals, or placenta, all of which produce sex hormones and perform other functions for starting and maintaining pregnancy.

To definitively prove a causal link between jabs and fertility, we’d need a prospective, randomized trial comparing pregnancy outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups of people.

This almost certainly won’t happen in the US or Europe for vaccines already on the market. Institutional review boards (IRBs) won’t approve any study that randomizes people to an unvaccinated control group, as governments claim it’s unethical not to give everyone current Covid shots that don’t substantially reduce viral infection or transmission and have no public long-term safety record.

So the best we have for authorized Covid injections is observational research, either prospective or retrospective cohort studies — where both vaccinated and unvaccinated people are followed over time to compare outcomes — or retrospective case-control or cross-sectional studies.

Case-control and cross-sectional studies can’t tell us anything about causation, though they help generate hypotheses to be tested further, prospectively.

Cohort studies, on the other hand, particularly prospective ones, can be highly suggestive of causation, especially when cohorts are matched for age, gender, and health status indicators.

Obstetric findings

James Thorp MD and colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort study in COVID-19 Vaccines: The Impact on Pregnancy Outcomes and Menstrual Function (January 2023):

Results:

COVID-19 vaccines, when compared to the influenza vaccines, are associated with a significant increase in AE [adverse events] with all proportional reporting ratios of > 2.0: menstrual abnormalities, miscarriage, fetal chromosomal abnormalities, fetal malformation, fetal cystic hygroma, fetal cardiac disorders, fetal arrhythmias, fetal cardiac arrest, fetal vascular malperfusion, fetal growth abnormalities, fetal abnormal surveillance, fetal placental thrombosis, low amniotic fluid, preeclampsia, premature delivery, preterm premature rupture of membrane, fetal death/stillbirth, and premature baby death (all p values were much smaller than 0.05).

When normalized by time-available, doses-given, or persons-received, all COVID-19 vaccine AE far exceed the safety signal on all recognized thresholds.

Conclusions:

Pregnancy complications and menstrual abnormalities are significantly more frequent following COVID-19 vaccinations than influenza vaccinations.

A worldwide moratorium on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy is advised until randomized prospective trials document safety in pregnancy and long-term follow-up in offspring.

This article by Steve Kirsch reports OB/GYN Dr. Kimberly Biss’s findings in her St. Petersburg, FL, practice since the Covid vaccine rollout:

• 50% reduction in completed pregnancies

• 50% increase in spontaneous abortions (miscarriages)

• 25% increase in abnormal Pap smears, indicating cervical dysplasia, a precancerous lesion

• 25% increase in cervical cancers

Obstetrics nurse Lisa Mooney wrote the following comment to that article:

[I] can confirm this as I work full time as OB/GYN RN, and have for the past 30 years.

Truly heartbreaking the increased level of not only embryonic/fetal loss and infertility BUT also increased morbidity and mortality.

My post partum RN friend is seeing a rise in Rx [treatment] resistant HTN [hypertension, i.e., high blood pressure], preterm births and very fussy breast fed infants.

Falling birth rates where Europeans live

According to Bujard and Andersson in Stockholm research reports in demography (2022):

There is no association of the fertility trends [in Germany or Sweden] with changes in unemployment, infection rates, or COVID-19 deaths.

However, there is a strong association between the onset of vaccination programmes and the fertility decline nine months after of this onset.

The fertility decline in the first months of 2022 in Germany and Sweden is remarkable.

Common explanations of fertility change during the pandemic do not apply in its aftermath.

The association between the onset of mass vaccinations and subsequent fertility decline indicates that people adjusted their behaviour to get vaccinated before becoming pregnant, as societies were opening up with post-pandemic life conditions.

Our study provides novel information on fertility declines in countries previously not affected by any COVID-19 baby bust.

An American physician scientist says he witnessed firsthand [redacted] military intelligence working clandestinely since the 1980s within the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop an ethnic bioweapon to kill billions of people, mainly of European descent.

That bioweapon is now deployed as Covid and its coercive injectables campaign, claims the researcher in a 2022 article published in a peer-reviewed medical journal and linked below.

Support this work.

Article highlights

The author claims:

• The Covid virus spike protein is an ethnic bioweapon made to kill and disable billions of people selectively through both SARS-CoV-2 infection and, principally, nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) shots that encode the spike protein and have regulatory approval or emergency use authorization, with no manufacturer liability even for massive vaccine damage to populations.

• Differential binding of the spike protein to ACE-2 receptor variants can lead to more damage in some ethnic groups than others.

  European variants are the hardest hit, and ones in [redacted] are relatively spared. (See here, here, and here.)

• Blackmailer and [redacted] operative Jeffrey Epstein’s list of [redacted] intelligence assets includes Donald Trump, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, Larry Ellison, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Buzzy Krongard, and others promoting Covid jabs.

• Dr. David Gorski, a harsh critic of doctors questioning leaky Covid spike protein-encoding nucleic acid shots having no long-term safety profile, has admitted financial ties to [redacted] operative Jeffrey Epstein through Seed Media Group.

• Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also listed in Epstein’s contacts as a presumptive [redacted] asset.

• Although RFK Jr. laudably warns of vaccine harms, he blames the operation on Dr. Anthony Fauci and “big pharma corruption and greed,” steering people away from [redacted], implying he is controlled opposition.

Peter Halligan, whom Dr. Roger Hodkinson says in the video above “is a most-experienced analyst in the financial industry and is very skilled at looking at and translating statistics into a summary statement,” estimated global deaths related to Covid vaccines at 20 million and vaccine injuries at 2.2 billion through August 2022.

Vigilant Fox wrote an October 2022 report on this.

But factoring updated VAERS data into Halligan’s numbers, we’re up to 25 million deaths.

Updating US jab deaths and injuries through October 2022

Here are calculations using updated VAERS data as of October 14, 2022, based on Halligan’s methodology:

Deaths: Add 46,999 deaths reported to EUDRA (European Union Drug Regulating Authorities) through July 31, 2022, plus 31,534 deaths reported to VAERS (US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) through October 14, 2022 = 78,533 deaths

Injuries: Add 4,731,833 injuries reported to EUDRA through July 31, 2022, plus 1,668,097 adverse events (excluding deaths) reported to VAERS through October 14, 2022 = 6,399,930 injuries.

Multiply each total by an under-reporting factor (URF) of 40.

Then multiply by 8 to reflect that the US and Europe represent only 1/8 of the injected global population.1

We get:

Global deaths: 78,533 x 40 x 8 = 25.13 million deaths

Global injuries: 6,399,930 x 40 x 8 = 2.05 billion injuries2

Could be worse

These estimated 25 million jab deaths do not include the following:

• Deaths reported in EUDRA from August 2022 to date

• Deaths occurring after future jabs

• Future deaths from delayed effects of past jabs, such as cancer

• Miscarriages (< 20 weeks gestation) or stillbirths (> 20 weeks) related to the jab

• Many deaths occurring around the peak of about five months after vaccination. Reflecting recency bias, VAERS and EUDRA tend primarily to report deaths occurring soon after vaccination because these deaths are more likely to be considered by health care providers to be related to the shots than are later deaths.

• Most lockdown-related deaths, including those from suicide, homicide, or delayed diagnosis of cancer, heart disease, or other deadly diseases

Not all necessarily shot caused

We can’t say all these reported deaths and injuries are caused by the injections, but many almost certainly are, especially considering (a) their temporal relationship to vaccination — half of events are within the first few weeks after the jab, for example — and (b) Covid spike protein-inducible mechanisms by which many adverse events occur, such as blood clotting and myocarditis.

Peter Halligan writes:

Claim: Big Pharma has killed around 20 million people and wounded over 2.2 billion.

Those wounded will develop morbidities in the months and years to come, so this is the butcher’s bill so far.

This genocide has been perpetrated by stealth.

Data is withheld that would expose the extent of the genocide, leaving researchers to look to other evidence of crimes against humanity.

Big Pharma’s legal defence is “the US Government made me do it”.

…

This epic “vaccine” fail does not account for the lives lost over the course of the pandemic by the banning of those treatment protocols for prophylaxis and early-mid stage cure that were discovered in the Spring of 2020, nor do they include the 20 million dead and 2.2 billion wounded from injections (injection “cases”).

How can the casualties from the “Spike Wars” be further demonstrated?

Excess deaths provide a clue. Not all excess deaths are the result of injections, but the impact of injections and the draconian measures imposed globally are going to explain the vast majority.

Steve Kirsch notes:

Many people assumed the vaccine kills you quickly (in the first two weeks) because that’s when people notice the association and report it to VAERS.

This is still true; it does kill some people quickly: half of the deaths reported in VAERS are in the first few weeks.

And this:

VAERS reports will likely only be filed for deaths in temporal proximity to the shot and is highly unlikely to report those deaths happening 5 months after the shot which appear to be the bulk of the deaths.

Leaders are paid enormous amounts of money — including through IMF bribes, as Belarus president Lukashenko revealed — to lock us down in our homes, destroy our businesses, and force us to wear harmful, ineffective masks and take leaky Covid spike protein jabs having horrifying adverse event signals (see here and here) and no long-term safety studies or serial numbers.

For example, Nigerian legislators say Bill Gates paid them $10 million to pass a mandatory vaccination bill:

The Coalition of United Political Parties has alleged that lawmakers in the House of Representatives were offered $10 million for the speedy passage of the Vaccination Bill by the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates.

CUPP in a statement issued late on Monday said it was in possession of intelligence report that the leadership of House is determined to pass the compulsory vaccine bill without subjecting it to the traditions of legislative proceedings.

These people won’t stop unless they face harsh punishment.

Like life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Or the death penalty.

We’re in a war with people who want to kill and disable us, render us infertile, and prevent us from thinking or questioning authority of numbskulls, say researchers.

As we’ve seen for more than two years, we won’t win by arguing or pleading with them.

They’re making too much money to stop — or even care about — injuring or murdering you and your children.

Criminal punishment would mean all politicians, university presidents, airline and hospital CEOs, and other corporate executives would need to think twice before forcing us to bend over and accept mandates they thrust up dark conduits of coercion.

Once most or all of these psychopaths are in prison forever or legally executed, we can live free again.

Further, all those who aid or abet leaders in implementing lockdowns or mask or vaccine mandates should face a minimum of 10 years in prison.

Thus, flight attendants, influencers, celebrities, social media censors, and secretaries who pressure you to take spike protein jabs that don’t substantially block infection or transmission, or to pull masks over your nose, should know they risk at least 10 years in a penitentiary for these actions.

And police officers who assault people for not wearing a Covid mask or having a vaccine passport should be locked up for at least 20 years.

Lioness in a comment noted Michael Yeadon’s statement on Telegram:

Anyone involved in initiatives to nudge people into receiving these injections is a murderer.

I would seek the harshest penalties.

No one involved had any excuse for not spending a short time establishing for themselves what the real world performance of these injections has been to date.

It’s not even necessary to venture beyond the official data.

Murderers. They need arresting, charging and trying.

Best wishes

Mike

Leaders know masks, for example, are a harmful scam.

That’s why don’t wear masks when they think you’re not watching.

These politicians’ crimes and mockery of their constituents cry out for justice.

We need uncorrupted lawmakers — to the extent they exist — to draft and pass crime bills implementing these penalties as soon as possible.

A February 2022 article in Nature raises concern about Covid masks’ shedding of nanoparticle fibers of titanium dioxide, classified by the European Chemicals Agency and other research groups as possibly carcinogenic to humans — and definitely to rodents — by inhalation.

Abstract:

Although titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a suspected human carcinogen when inhaled, fiber-grade TiO2 (nano)particles were demonstrated in synthetic textile fibers of face masks intended for the general public.

STEM-EDX analysis on sections of a variety of single use and reusable face masks visualized agglomerated near-spherical TiO2 particles in non-woven fabrics, polyester, polyamide and bi-component fibers.

Median sizes of constituent particles ranged from 89 to 184 nm, implying an important fraction of nano-sized particles (< 100 nm).

The total TiO2 mass determined by ICP-OES ranged from 791 to 152,345 µg per mask.

The estimated TiO2 mass at the fiber surface ranged from 17 to 4394 µg, and systematically exceeded the acceptable exposure level to TiO2 by inhalation (3.6 µg), determined based on a scenario where face masks are worn intensively.

No assumptions were made about the likelihood of the release of TiO2 particles itself, since direct measurement of release and inhalation uptake when face masks are worn could not be assessed.

The importance of wearing face masks against COVID-19 is unquestionable. [JH comment: There is no high-quality evidence for this statement, likely placed in the article for political reasons to support the government’s prevailing false narrative on masks.]

Even so, these results urge for in depth research of (nano)technology applications in textiles to avoid possible future consequences caused by a poorly regulated use and to implement regulatory standards phasing out or limiting the amount of TiO2 particles, following the safe-by-design principle.

This is yet another reason to suspect nefarious motives for mandating masks that could be making men infertile.

It’s strange masks are demanded by nonscientist Catholic and Jewish leaders including rabbis, despite there being no good evidence masks reduce viral infection rates.

The real reason for mask mandates, one courageous rabbi tells us, is to force you into submission and obedience.

Rabbis constitute the main group pushing Mayor Eric Adams to force masking of New York residents including children.

They also heavily influence Stacy Abrams of Georgia and Ron DeSantis of Florida, though DeSantis fortunately resisted rabbis’ commands to mask children.

Multiple children in China, Japan, and elsewhere have collapsed and died while forced to wear masks during exercise classes at school.

Other reasons for forced masking appear to include reducing exercise tolerance and getting plastics and graphene particles into your lungs and bloodstream.

This might have ill effects on the kidney and other organs.

Masks also increase the work of breathing to maintain proper gas exchange.

We need to resist this tyranny.

It appears the same group is covering up and censoring the truth and spreading disinformation for both these operations.

Leaders like Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who promote the official story of terrorist hijackers, are either duped or — in many cases — willfully going along with the plan.

In any event, such leaders cannot be trusted on jabs, lockdowns, masks, climate change, digital IDs, vaccine passports, food and fuel shortages, or their excited plans for world governance.

Polystyrene (plastic) particles are shed by Covid masks and have been shown to cause infertility in male mice by lowering sperm count and motility.

Because of similarities in testicular function between mice and humans, it’s reasonable to suspect this is also happening in men who wear Covid masks.

There is also concern about the effects of Covid spike protein vaccines on male fertility (see here and here).

And we must determine what Covid vaccines appear to be doing to some pregnancies.

Birth rates in countries where Europeans live are dropping.

Infertility from masks might hide infertility from vaccines

Studies looking for Covid vaccine effects on male fertility might be confounded if both vaccinated and unvaccinated (control) groups of men have been rendered less fertile by Covid masks. Research is needed on this.

Aiming at killing

The Covid bioweapon operation appears to be targeting lives, especially those of European White people (see here, here, and here), through spike protein illness, death, and infertility.

They’re forcing you to wear plastics-shedding masks that have no high-quality evidence of reducing viral infection rates and that are evidently a symbol of the public’s submission and ignorance, which rabbis indicate are to have people accept servitude and vaccine passport slavery that provides the control necessary for certain killings to occur.

Infertility from Covid masks might be another of their goals.

In his Open Letter to Parents Regarding COVID Vaccination, Part III, pediatric rheumatologist Robert Rennebohm, MD, formerly of Cleveland Clinic, makes the following key points:

1.     The human immune system is ingeniously complex.  Its complexity must be understood and appreciated. 

2.     It consists of a mucosal immune system and a systemic immune system, both of which have an innate immunity division and an adaptive (acquired) immunity division.

3.     The importance of the innate immunity division (also called the innate immune system) has not been emphasized by proponents of the COVID vaccination campaign.

This is unfortunate, because innate immunity is enormously important throughout life, particularly during early childhood when innate immunity receives its foundational education: 

a.     An important component of the innate immune system is “innate antibodies” (“natural antibodies”).  Children are born with these innate antibodies, which are present in high concentration during early childhood and wane thereafter.

b.     Innate antibodies are nonspecific — meaning that they are capable of binding to and neutralizing many different viruses.

c.     By binding to viruses, innate antibodies play a major role in educating the innate immune system to recognize and appropriately attack viruses (and other foreign, “non-self” entities).

d.     Also, by binding to viruses, innate antibodies teach the innate immune system to distinguish between “non-self” (which it may attack) and “self” (which it should leave alone).

e.     Interference with the binding of innate antibodies to viruses interferes with the education and function of a person’s innate immune system, leaving the person less able to fight off infectionand more prone to autoimmune disease (disease due to immune attack waged against “self”— parts of one’s own body).

f.      A person’s greatest opportunity for excellent, foundational education of their innate immune system occurs during early childhood. 

If that greatest opportunity is missed or disrupted, it is irretrievably lost. 

4.     The human immune system employs a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional, collaborative, inclusive approach that uses the innate immune system as its first line of defense and employs the adaptive immune system for a more antigen-specific (e.g., virus-specific) response, the latter developing antigen-specific memory in the process.

5.     It uses wise checks and balances, feedback mechanisms and back up mechanisms; it learns from experience; it has astonishing memory; it requires education and practice (particularly during early childhood); it is efficient and adjustable; its marvelous capacities have been perfected over thousands of years 

6.     It represents an elegant immune ecosystem. 

7.     Just as ecosystems in Nature (forests, wetlands, prairies, lakes, and their living species) are complex, delicate, and must not be subjected to misguided tampering, the same is true with the human immune ecosystem. 

8.     In comparison, the COVID vaccines are relatively uni-dimensional, exclusionary, and interfere with the proper education, practice, experience, and function of the innate immune system, particularly in young children, but also throughout life. 

a.     The COVID vaccines are focused primarily on production of antibodies to the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 (SC-2, for short) virus, and they primarily rely on these spike-specific “neutralizing antibodies” to fight the virus.

b.     Compared to innate antibodies, the neutralizing vaccinal antibodies bind much more strongly to the SC-2 virus (even after their neutralizing capacity has markedly diminished) and, thereby, outcompete the innate antibodies for attachment to binding sites on SC-2. 

That is, the vaccinal antibodies interfere with binding of innate antibodies to the virus. (Innate antibodies, by design, bind only loosely to viruses.) 

c.     This vaccinal interference with the binding of innate antibodies to SC-2 results in impairment of normal education and function of the innate immune system, leaving the vaccinated person less able to fight off infection and more prone to autoimmune disease.

d.     Why and how does vaccinal interference with the interaction of innate antibodies with the specificSC-2 virus affect the overall education of the innate immune system, regarding response to other viruses and distinction between non-self and self? 

This is very complex but has to do with shared molecular patterns that many viruses have in common and that are also similar to molecular patterns (“self” patterns) on components of the human body.

e.     This harmful vaccinal interference with the binding of innate antibodies to SC-2 lasts for as long as the titers of spike-specific vaccinal antibodies are elevated, which inevitably occurs when vaccinated (primed) individuals are continuously (or frequently and repeatedly) exposed to highly infectious SC-2 variants (e.g., Omicron variants) or receive “booster doses” of COVID vaccine.

f.      When the COVID vaccines are given to children during early childhood, they disrupt the greatest opportunity for the child’s innate immune system to become optimally educated.   

This disruption has irreversible long-term consequences: such children are rendered highly susceptible to severe disease from numerous glycosylated microbial pathogens (like coronaviruses and other acute respiratory viruses) and to immune-mediated diseases (autoimmune diseases and allergic diseases). 

There is also legitimate concern that such disruption could adversely affect education of the immune system’s cancer surveillance system.

9.     An “optimal” immune response to a virus involves much more than simply producing virus-specific “neutralizing” antibodies. 

An “optimal” immune response involves utilization of all of the potential immune capacities that might be needed to contain the virus and prevent transmission — e.g., innate antibodies and NK (Natural Killer) cells of the innate immune system.

There is much more to the story (of immune protection) than the levels of neutralizing antibodies. It is simplistic and misleading to think only in terms of “levels of virus-specific neutralizing antibodies.”

In fact, natural immunity consists of a well-orchestrated collaborative effort of both innate and adaptive immunity.

That is why comprehensive natural immunity is much more protective than antibodies alone.

10.  Naturally acquired immunity to SC-2 is far superior to the immunity provided by the COVID vaccines.

Naturally acquired immunity can provide optimal, long-lasting, sterilizing immunity that prevents transmission and can contribute to herd immunity.

The COVID vaccines are suboptimal — they do not provide sterilizing immunity, do not prevent transmission, and, thereby, do not contribute to herd immunity. 

In fact, the COVID vaccines interfere with development of herd immunity.

11.  A rapid mass vaccination campaign, using a suboptimal vaccine (like the COVID vaccines) and vaccinating across all age groups, in the midst of an active pandemic of a highly mutable and highly infectious respiratory virus — is a recipe for abnormally generating a prolonged series of dominating new variants that become increasingly infectious, increasingly vaccine-resistant (due to “immune escape”), and inevitably more virulent. 

In other words, the mass vaccination campaign that has been implemented during the COVID pandemic has been responsible for prolonging the COVID pandemic and making it more dangerous.

12.  The vaccinal antibodies produced by the COVID vaccines:

a.     Have been increasingly failing to adequately neutralize the spike protein.

b.     Have been increasingly failing to prevent entry of SC-2 into human cells.

c.     Have not been preventing transmission of the virus from one person to another.

d.     Have been actually facilitating entry of the virus into cells — i.e., have been making the vaccinated individual more susceptible to SC-2 infection.

This occurs when the neutralizing capacity of the “neutralizing” vaccinal antibodies has greatly diminished, as is the case with current Omicron subvariants.

This represents a form of antibody dependent enhancement of infection (ADEI).

e.     Have been impairing the foundational education and the continuing education of the innate immune system.  

When given to young children, COVID vaccines prevent the child’s innate antibodies from actively teaching its innate immune effector cells how to recognize (glycosylated) viruses and distinguish them from “self” antigens (i.e., distinguish between “self” and “non-self”).

This is critical for any immune system to learn at an early stage of life (once passive maternal immune protection is no longer available) in order to provide for a healthy and appropriate immune response.

This interference with the initial foundational education of a child’s developing innate immune system renders a COVID-vaccinated child less able to handle glycosylated viruses (and glycosylated pathogens in general) and predisposes such children to immune pathology (e.g., autoimmune disease). 

And these adverse effects are irreversible. 

f.      Have been “priming” the immune system to respond to SC-2 in a narrow, inflexible, uni-dimensional, exclusionary, increasingly outdated way — instead of the comprehensive, flexible, continually updating, collaborative way in which the immune system normally responds. 

g.     Have been predisposing vaccinated people to increased risk of breakthrough infection/reinfectionand, thereby, have been predisposing the vaccinated to “immune exhaustion” — which, in turn, predisposes the vaccinated to increased infections (of many types, not just COVID) and also impairs protection against autoimmunity and malignancy. 

h.     Have possibly been providing some brief and modest protection against severe COVID disease — but this protective effect will disappear when more virulent SC-2 variants appear (which is inevitable if the mass COVID vaccination campaign is continued). 

i.      Have been causing an unacceptable number of severe adverse events in vaccinated individuals — e.g., myocarditis, blood clots/strokes, neurologic damage, sudden death, and predisposition to autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, and malignancy.

We are only beginning to see the regrettable long-term complications of the COVID vaccines. 

13.  When the risks of COVID vaccination (at both the population level and the individual level) are compared to the benefits, the risks far outweigh the benefits.

14.  Compared to children who have been vaccinated against COVID, children who remain unvaccinated against COVID will be better able to handle SC-2 infection (and other infections) — both now and when a more virulent variant appears.  

15.  Regarding Pfizer’s request for FDA approval of emergency use of its COVID vaccine in children between 6 months and 5 years of age:

a.     The data provided by Pfizer are scant, inadequate, and do not provide compelling evidence that the COVID vaccine was effective in preventing infection, hospitalization, or severe disease.

b.     Although the study concluded that the data “do not suggest any new safety concerns compared with the safety profile described in older age groups,” the median follow-up time was only 2.1 months after the 3rd dose of vaccine. 

This provides an inadequate length of time to determine safety, particularly long-term safety. 

c.     The Pfizer study was too small, too short, and was of insufficient scientific quality to warrant FDA approval.

d.     Furthermore, given Pfizer’s history of proven, convicted health care fraud and their proven inclination to hide data, their safety and efficacy data should be investigated and scrutinized not just by the FDA, but also by an independent objective panel of representative experts who have no conflicts of interest.

16.  When a more virulent variant appears, there are several proactive, protective actions we can and must take — starting with prompt and accurate diagnosis, with attention to the Ct values of positive PCR testsand appropriate use of genomic sequencing (to confirm SC-2 and determine the involved variant/subvariant). 

17.  According to the CDC, about 75% of children and adolescents now have evidence of a previous SC-2 infection, and, therefore, already have some degree of naturally acquired immunity. 

COVID vaccination of these children will not provide additional protection. 

In fact, COVID vaccination of such children will have deleterious effects on their immune function (as mentioned above).

18.  Parents desperately want to do the right thing for their children. It is best for children to not receive any of the current COVID vaccines. 

That is best for each child and it is best for the population as a whole. 

The responsible act is to resist the misguided pressure to “get vaccinated.”

The responsible act is to call for an immediate moratorium on COVID vaccination — until a proper scientific evaluation of the COVID vaccination campaign has been conducted. 

Statements that “the COVID vaccines are very effective; exceedingly safe; get vaccinated; it is your social responsibility to do so; our patience is growing thin” are scientifically inaccurate and irresponsible.

19.  Respectful, healthy, scientific dialogue about the above issues is critically important but has not sufficiently occurred among physicians, scientists, health policy makers, or the citizenry (often not even within families).

Thoughtful challenge of prevailing understandings and careful exchange of ideas is healthy, essential, and should be welcomed---particularly during the current pandemic.

20.  Please understand that I would much prefer that the questions posed in this article be answered by a representative panel of physicians and scientists with exemplary expertise in immunology, virology, vaccinology, evolutionary biology, and epidemiology who would engage in thorough, respectful, scientific, video-archived dialogue about these questions.  

Parents and physicians could then view and listen to that dialogue and decide whose explanations make the most sense and whose recommendations seem wisest.  Parents and physicians (including me) deserve that opportunity.

21.  Education of physicians and the public — about the COVID vaccination campaign and the COVID situation in general — must be honest and sufficiently deep. 

Education leads to demystification and healthy unification; Mystery and confusion lead to polarization, extremism, and ugly intolerance.   

22.  Please, parents, grandparents, and physicians, consider all of the above before making your decision about vaccination of children against COVID.

23.  Parents and grandparents can play a pivotal and powerful role in challenging and reversing the ill-advised campaign to vaccinate children against COVID. 

In fact, protection of children from the harmful effects (both at the population level and at the individual level) of the COVID vaccination campaign will likely depend on the homework and thoughtful advocacy of parents and grandparents, since the CDC, FDA, pharmaceutical companies, NIH, WHO, AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), conventional media (CNN, e.g.) and silent acquiescing physicians have failed to provide that protection.

Lingering white trails in the sky from jets are not water condensation (“contrails”) but rather sprayed particulate materials (“chemtrails”) intentionally used for years to reduce rain cloud formation and precipitation and are the leading cause of drought in the American Southwest, observes geoengineeringwatch.org lead researcher Dane Wigington.

Could the same group of people be behind all these attacks on America and Europe?

• the Covid bioweapon operation

• mass migration of military-age men including criminals across open borders

• food supply shortages from sanctions against Russia, cutting off supplies to Europe and America of wheat, oil and gas, and fertilizer ingredients

• food supply shortages from destruction of farms and food manufacturing and distribution centers

• fuel supply shortages from Biden’s handlers cutting off oil and gas drilling and pipelines, selling off US strategic petroleum reserves to China and India

• drought using geoengineering to cut off water supplies

Mainstream media and politicians never mention or investigate this water-depleting weather manipulation.

Does that reveal anything about who is doing this to us?

Navy Vice Admiral William F. Raborn said in 1968 the military could control temperature, fog, rain, storms, and icebergs as weapons of war.

Who could be waging war against Americans and Europeans?

In the August 2021 video below of rabbis demanding people take leaky Covid spike protein vaccines having no publicly known, long-term safety data, one rabbi misleadingly states, “We see no evidence for any kind of negative outcome for fertility,” although (a) no full-term pregnancies begun after vaccine launch in December 2020 had yet been completed; (b) no pregnant women were included in the vaccine trials; and (c) effects on male fertility, cancer, and genotoxicity are still not known today, according to the FDA-approved label for Pfizer’s vaccine.

The video was released less than eight months after Covid vaccines launched, despite there being no long-term study results and when, according to the CDC, it was not publicly known whether the vaccines were safe in pregnant or breastfeeding women or people with autoimmune or immunodeficiency diseases.

Do rabbis’ demands for forced masking and vaccine mandates relate to their “predictions” Americans and Europeans will be eliminated and must be “destroyed” through various means? (See, e.g., videos here and here.)

NEJM finds 82% miscarriage rate before 20 weeks of pregnancy

Much is unknown, or at least publicly undisclosed, about long-term effects of Covid vaccines on reproduction and potentially heritable genetic disorders.

A June 2021 study in the New England Journal of Medicine found an apparent 82% miscarriage rate (104 spontaneous abortions in 127 women) by the 20th week of pregnancy in women vaccinated in the first two trimesters (i.e., before the 27th week).

For Pfizer’s vaccine, the only one approved — though not yet distributed — in the US, the FDA says:

1. There is “insufficient [available data] to inform vaccine-associated risks in pregnancy”;

2. The vaccine “has not been evaluated for the potential to cause carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, or impairment of male fertility”; and

3. There is insufficient available data “to assess the effects … on the breastfed infant or on milk production or excretion.”

Figure 2: IgM immuno-reactivity obtained with immunodominant peptides in the acute and convalescent phase and negative control group (NC). Each data point represents the OD450 value of one patient. Mean and SD are indicated. The threshold level (mean + 2SD of control) is marked in gray. Data shown is representative of five independent experiments. Asterisk indicates significance *P < 0.05, **P < 0.0001. n.s., not significant. M: membrane protein. S: spike protein. N: nucleocapsid.

From Jörrißen et al. (2021) Antibody Response to SARS-CoV-2 Membrane Protein in Patients of the Acute and Convalescent Phase of COVID-19.

Key points:

• Authorized Covid vaccines solely target the toxic, full-length SARS-CoV-2 (SARS-2) spike (S) protein, and no approved vaccine maker has chosen also to target the SARS-2 membrane (M) protein, suggested in studies to be nontoxic and immunogenic, producing T cell responses and high antibody titers in Covid patients.

• Because antibodies to M protein of the SARS-CoV (SARS-1) virus — nearly identical to the SARS-2 M protein — have been shown to neutralize the virus, researchers expect antibodies to the SARS-2 M protein also to be neutralizing, though this needs further confirmation.

• Covid vaccines targeting only the rapidly evolving spike protein — whose mutation rate was enhanced at least 20 fold through exonuclease alterations identical to ones engineered from SARS-1, leading to evolution of some Omicron variants — don’t significantly block viral transmission and are designed for selection of more infectious and lethal variants (see also here and here).

• Vaccine targeting of the M protein is expected to reduce vaccinal immune escape by variants and improve virus neutralization, helping to achieve herd immunity.

• Because rapid immune escape from spike protein vaccines by viral variants — preventing herd immunity — is almost certainly an intended vaccine design feature and not merely incidental to the Covid bioweapon operation, this could explain why vaccine makers don’t use, or even discuss using, the M protein in Covid vaccines.

Below are Covid M protein perspectives.

Geert skirts M

From the video discussion above between Bret Weinstein and virologist Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche:

• 29:55: Bret Weinstein suggests that including more antigens than the spike protein in Covid vaccines would be useful for reducing immune escape.

• 31:10: Geert Vanden Bossche replies that the spike protein is “the right target” as a vaccine antigen because it “enables infection into the cell” and that the nucleocapsid (N) protein would not be a good target as it is inaccessible to circulating antibodies — valid points supported by the literature.

Surprisingly, Vanden Bossche doesn’t mention M protein as an additional candidate vaccine antigen that is accessible to circulating antibodies and produces strong IgM and IgG responses in nearly all Covid patients and, at least in SARS patients, “efficient neutralizing antibodies,” according to Liu et al.

Lopandic et al. (2021): IgM and IgG Immunoreactivity of SARS-CoV-2 Recombinant M Protein

In ELISA, more than 93% (28/30) of COVID-19 sera were positive for IgM detection, and more than 96% (29/30) were positive for specific IgG detection to M protein.

Successful design and computer modeling of an M-protein Covid vaccine

Ayyagari and colleagues designed a membrane (M) protein Covid vaccine that elicited successful immune stimulation responses in silico, meaning in a computer model.

Immune simulation studies showed the induction of primary, secondary and tertiary immune responses marked by the increased levels of antibodies, INF-γ, IL-2, TGF-β, B-cells, CD4+ and CD8+ cells.

Finally, the vaccine construct was able to elicit immune response as desired.

Ayyagari et al. (2020): Design of a multi-epitope-based vaccine targeting M-protein of SARS-CoV2: an immunoinformatics approach

M protein antibodies are expected to be neutralizing

Lu et al. (2021): The immunodominant and neutralization linear epitopes for SARS-CoV-2

M183–197 is another immunodominant epitope in domestic cases. Because this epitope is located in the S4 subsite of the active center of the M protein, it is possible for it to elicit neutralizing antibodies that inhibit the protease function of the M protein (Dai et al., 2020; Yang et al., 2005).

M protein has strong antigenic properties and is involved in viral entry into host cells

Lopandic et al. (2021): IgM and IgG Immunoreactivity of SARS-CoV-2 Recombinant M Protein

Abstract:

Diagnostic evaluation of specific antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus is mainly based on spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins.

Despite the critical functions in virus infection and contribution to the pattern of immunodominance in COVID-19, exploitation of the most abundant membrane (M) protein in the SARS-CoV-2 serology tests is minimal.

This study investigated the recombinant M protein’s immunoreactivity with the sera from COVID-19 convalescents. In silico designed protein was created from the outer N-terminal part (19 aa) and internal C-terminal tail (101–222 aa) of the M protein (YP_009724393.1) and was recombinantly produced and purified. ?

The designed M protein (16,498.74 Da, pI 8.79) revealed both IgM and IgG reactivity with serum samples from COVID-19 convalescents in Western blot. In ELISA, more than 93% (28/30) of COVID-19 sera were positive for IgM detection, and more than 96% (29/30) were positive for specific IgG detection to M protein.

Based on the capacity to provoke an immune response and its strong antigenic properties, as shown here, and the fact that it is also involved in the virion entry into host cells, the M protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as a good antigen has the potential in diagnostic purposes and vaccine design.

SARS-2 was likely engineered to increase spike protein’s mutation rate and immune escape from vaccines

The SARS-2 spike protein appears to have been engineered to mutate at least 20 times faster than usual through changes to an exonuclease in SARS-1, leading to evolution of some vaccine-resistant Omicron variants.

Therefore, any vaccine expected to reduce escape by the virus from vaccinal immunity, thereby reducing transmission in an effort leading to herd immunity, should consider additional use of other, more stable antigens such as M protein.

M protein regions are mutationally stable and might resist vaccinal immune escape

Jörrißen et al. (2021) Antibody Response to SARS-CoV-2 Membrane Protein in Patients of the Acute and Convalescent Phase of COVID-19:

As peptides M01 and M21 are located in two highly conserved regions of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, such antibodies may evade the higher variations observed for other epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins.

CD8+ T cell responses after vaccination of monkeys with only SARS-CoV-2 N, M, and E antigens — no spike (S) — correlated with reduced nasopharyngeal viral load

Ishii et al. (2022): Neutralizing-antibody-independent SARS-CoV-2 control correlated with intranasal-vaccine-induced CD8+T cell responses

Effective vaccines are essential for the control of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Currently developed vaccines inducing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S)-antigen-specific neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) are effective, but the appearance of NAb-resistant S variant viruses is of great concern.

A vaccine inducing S-independent or NAb-independent SARS-CoV-2 control may contribute to containment of these variants.

Here, we investigate the efficacy of an intranasal vaccine expressing viral non-S antigens [using plasmid DNAs expressing nucleocapsid (N), membrane (M), and envelope (E) antigens] against intranasal SARS-CoV-2 challenge in cynomolgus macaques.

Seven vaccinated macaques exhibit significantly reduced viral load in nasopharyngeal swabs on day 2 post-challenge compared with nine unvaccinated controls.

The viral control in the absence of SARS-CoV-2-specific NAbs is significantly correlated with vaccine-induced, viral-antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses.

Our results indicate that CD8+ T cell induction by intranasal vaccination can result in NAb-independent control of SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting a potential of vaccine-induced CD8+ T cell responses to contribute to COVID-19 containment.

M protein in SARS-1, nearly identical to that in SARS-2, elicits neutralizing antibodies

Of the closely related SARS-1 virus:

Liu et al. (2010): The Membrane Protein of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Acts as a Dominant Immunogen Revealed by a Clustering Region of Novel Functionally and Structurally Defined Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Epitopes

The antigenicity of specific proteins within a viral proteome differs depending on the diversity of quantity and immunogenic antigenicity of the immune epitopes comprised in the proteins.

It has been demonstrated that structural proteins of SARS-CoV such as spike (S), nucleocapsid (N), membrane (M), and envelope (E) proteins possess much higher immunogenicity for T cell responses than the nonstructural proteins.

It has been shown that the S and N proteins are characterized by high immunogenicity to engage the humoral and cellular response to SARS-CoV.

The M and E proteins are the other 2 significant structural proteins anchoring on the envelope membrane surface of the SARS-CoV particles.

The M protein is a typical transmembrane glycoprotein composed of a triple- membrane domain spanning 80 amino acids that account for about one-third of the entire protein (221 residues in total).

Acting as the most abundant structural protein in the virion of SARS-CoV, M also plays a significant role in virus-specific humoral response and is able to elicit efficient neutralizing antibodies in SARS patients.

The E protein is a small integral membrane polypeptide that forms an ion channel. Either the absence or inactivation of the E protein results in attenuated virulence because of the alterations in virion morphology or tropism.

…

Conclusion:

The M protein of SARS-CoV holds dominant cellular immunogenicity. This, together with previous reports of a strong humoral response against the M protein, may help to further explain the immunogenicity of SARS and serves as potential targets for SARS-CoV vaccine design.

We conclude that the SARS-CoV M protein acts as a dominant immunogen for both the humoral response (from previous reported data) and cellular immune response.

SARS-2 membrane (M) protein is highly immunogenic, eliciting antibodies likely neutralizing

Jörrißen et al. (2021) Antibody Response to SARS-CoV-2 Membrane Protein in Patients of the Acute and Convalescent Phase of COVID-19:

[O]ur results suggest that during the acute phase of COVID-19, antibodies are raised to two linear epitopes of the SARS-CoV-2 M protein, located at the very N- and C-termini, showing almost similar levels of reactivity as immunodominant linear epitopes derived from the spike and nucleocapsid protein.

Anti-M is also present in the convalescent phase of COVID-19 patients, however at lower levels, with the N-terminus of the M protein as a preferred target.

In silico prediction of B cell epitopes was employed for the structural proteins, including S and M proteins.

The M protein may also harbor B cell epitopes that can mount a neutralizing antibody response as suggested for SARS-CoV-1.

From broad mapping studies using antibody samples of COVID-19 patients, B cell epitopes located in the S [spike] and N [nucleocapsid] protein were shown to be immunodominant.

…

The immune response directed to the virus spike protein has raised much interest, since this protein directs major arms of the immune system, e.g., by induction of neutralizing antibodies.

However, limited information about the properties of the SARS CoV-2 membrane protein is available.

To our knowledge, a detailed characterization of immunodominant B-cell epitopes in the membrane protein of SARS CoV-2 during the acute and convalescent phase of COVID-19 is compared here for the first time.

As the M protein of coronaviruses represents the most abundant protein of the viral particle, a presumably high level of antibody reactivity can be expected during SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Our data suggest that the level of antibody response recognizing linear epitopes of the M protein is in the same range as for epitopes of other structural viral proteins, namely, the spike protein and the nucleocapsid protein, corroborating that the M protein is highly immunogenic in COVID-19 patients.

[O]ur data indicate that during the first weeks of COVID-19, an IgM- and IgG-specific antibody response is raised in a significant portion of COVID-19 patients to the N- and C-terminal ends of the M protein, with almost identical levels as observed for epitopes located in the S and N protein.

In our analyses covering COVID-19 patients from the acute phase, a significant portion of patients had IgM and IgG antibodies against peptide M01 before day 20 PIO, with the earliest detection at day 8 PIO [post-illness onset].

Of note, the IgM antibody reactivity directed against peptide M01 was found to be increased following day 20 PIO, suggesting that the N-terminus is increasingly stimulating an IgM B cell response during acute disease.

Peptide M21 was recognized by fewer patients in the acute phase suggesting that this epitope is less immunogenic.

Although reactivities of antibodies to peptides M01, M21, S and N were altogether lower in the convalescent phase of COVID-19, a portion of the patients contained antibodies against peptide M01 at this phase, suggesting that antibodies directed to the N-terminus of the M protein may persist in the convalescent phase, however at lower levels.

It was concluded that the level of antibodies to linear epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 proteins, including peptides S and N, correlates to the severity of the disease (21).

[A]ntibody reactivity against peptide M01 was in the same range as directed to immunodominant epitopes present in peptides S and N in both cohorts, suggesting that similar antibody responses to all SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins are mounted in the two phases of COVID-19.

Antibodies to several B cell epitopes of the spike protein were identified to induce neutralizing antibodies. RBD was characterized to harbor major epitopes of the neutralizing antibody response.

Based on mostly theoretical and in silico analyses, M protein of SARS-CoV-2 was also suggested to represent a candidate of vaccines.

Whether antibodies directed to the M protein can neutralize virus as suggested for SARS-CoV-1 is not known.

Carbon dioxide alarmists like Al Gore and US climate envoy John Kerry avoid discussing evidence of the magnitude of any causal relation between manmade CO2 and temperatures, instead saying “the science is settled” and focusing only on CO2 emissions and temperature increases and an urgent “need” to implement higher taxes and zero carbon policies including energy rationing, despite the poverty, hunger, and electricity blackouts resulting from such policies.

Some are pushing climate lockdowns.

The goal appears to be enslavement and control.

Revealingly, virtually all world leaders pushing carbon austerity — like Kerry, Boris Johnson, and Joe Biden — also wear Covid masks that encourage your submission and obedience through deception but don’t work to reduce viral infection rates.

As with Covid, one gets a distinct impression of being scammed, and leaders’ mask wearing might be a good proxy for their carbon hoaxing.

A previous post examined a study by Triacca on a lack of Granger causality:

Our results show there is no detectable Granger causality from CO2 to temperature. In other terms, past observations of CO2 do not significantly improve the predictability of current temperature.

Now for Humlum et al. (2013): The phase relation between atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperature

Two of the paper’s key conclusions:

There exists a clear phase relationship between changes of atmospheric CO2 and the different global temperature records, whether representing sea surface temperature, surface air temperature, or lower troposphere temperature, with changes in the amount of atmospheric CO2 always lagging behind corresponding changes in temperature.

CO2 released from anthropogene [human era] sources apparently has little influence on the observed changes in atmospheric CO2, and changes in atmospheric CO2 are not tracking changes in human emissions.

Here’s the abstract:

Using data series on atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperatures we investigate the phase relation (leads/lags) between these for the period January 1980 to December 2011.

Ice cores show atmospheric CO2 variations to lag behind atmospheric temperature changes on a century to millennium scale, but modern temperature is expected to lag changes in atmospheric CO2, as the atmospheric temperature increase since about 1975 generally is assumed to be caused by the modern increase in CO2.

In our analysis we use eight well-known datasets: 1) globally averaged well-mixed marine boundary layer CO2 data, 2) HadCRUT3 surface air temperature data, 3) GISS surface air temperature data, 4) NCDC surface air temperature data, 5) HadSST2 sea surface data, 6) UAH lower troposphere temperature data series, 7) CDIAC data on release of anthropogene CO2, and 8) GWP data on volcanic eruptions.

Annual cycles are present in all datasets except 7) and 8), and to remove the influence of these we analyze 12-month averaged data.

We find a high degree of co-variation between all data series except 7) and 8), but with changes in CO2 always lagging changes in temperature.

The maximum positive correlation between CO2 and temperature is found for CO2 lagging 11–12 months in relation to global sea surface temperature, 9.5–10 months to global surface air temperature, and about 9 months to global lower troposphere temperature.

The correlation between changes in ocean temperatures and atmospheric CO2 is high, but do not explain all observed changes.

All the paper’s conclusions:

There exists a clear phase relationship between changes of atmospheric CO2 and the different global temperature records, whether representing sea surface temperature, surface air temperature, or lower troposphere temperature, with changes in the amount of atmospheric CO2 always lagging behind corresponding changes in temperature.

(1) The overall global temperature change sequence of events appears to be from 1) the ocean surface to 2) the land surface to 3) the lower troposphere.

(2) Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging about 11– 12 months behind changes in global sea surface temperature.

(3) Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging 9.5–10 months behind changes in global air surface temperature.

(4) Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging about 9 months behind changes in global lower troposphere temperature.

(5) Changes in ocean temperatures appear to explain a substantial part of the observed changes in atmospheric CO2 since January 1980.

(6) CO2 released from anthropogene sources apparently has little influence on the observed changes in atmospheric CO2, and changes in atmospheric CO2 are not tracking changes in human emissions.

(7) On the time scale investigated, the overriding effect of large volcanic eruptions appears to be a reduction of atmospheric CO2, presumably due to the dominance of associated cooling effects from clouds associated with volcanic gases/aerosols and volcanic debris.

(8) Since at least 1980 changes in global temperature, and presumably especially southern ocean temperature, appear to represent a major control on changes in atmospheric CO2.

Industrial hygienist Stephen Petty gave excellent testimony in the New Hampshire Senate on how masks don’t block aerosols and can’t reduce viral infection rates.

Physicians who’ve taken time to analyze the high-quality studies on masks know this. (See reviews of studies here, here, here, and here.)

Unfortunately, many doctors who haven’t had time to read relevant studies get their mask information from government officials or health administrators issuing scientifically unsupportable masking mandates.

It appears you’re being forced to wear masks as a show of submission and possibly for dangerous reasons. (See also here, here, here, and here.)

Masks reportedly harm children’s cognitive development.

Children in China, Japan, and elsewhere have keeled over and died while forced to wear airflow-restricting masks during exercise classes at school.

Other reasons for forced masking appear to include reducing exercise tolerance and getting plastics and graphene particles into your lungs and bloodstream.

This might have ill effects on the kidney and other organs.

Pathogenic bacteria and fungi build up on face masks, posing a risk at least to immunocompromised people if not everyone.

Masks also increase the work of breathing to maintain proper gas exchange.

Donate through Ko-Fi or Buy Me a Coffee.

Small particles shed by masks into people’s lungs might cause cancer and make men infertile.

The Bangladesh mask study that the CDC claims shows masks work has been debunked (see also here).

Does an Orthodox rabbi’s observation that airflow restricting, microplastic shedding, ineffective (see here, here, and here) Covid masks are a “scam” and “idolatrous accessories … only appropriate for the wicked” imply that continuing demands for us to wear them — and to suffer deadly lockdowns and take leaky spike protein vaccines having no long-term safety data — are related to teachings by rabbis (cited below) and Christian leaders that something will “bring forth judgment to the gentiles” who will be “made obedient” as “servants” of select people?

Leaders have failed to present good evidence otherwise for why they force these things on us, apart from they’re paid to do so:

Belarus is the only country in Eastern and Southeast Europe that refused to impose a coronavirus quarantine, despite recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO).

Current leaky, single-target Covid spike protein vaccine design facilitates evolutionary selection of more infectious and lethal viral variants, one of the surest signs we’re under a bioweapon operation attack. (See also here and here.)

Penn State virologist Andrew Read describes how vaccines that suppress illness but are leaky — that is, they don’t substantially block transmission or infection — select for deadlier viral variants:

Here’s the current state of affairs according to virologist Geert Vanden Bossche:

"I SERIOUSLY expect that a series of new highly virulent and highly infectious SARS-CoV-2 (SC-2) variants will now rapidly and independently emerge in highly vaccinated countries all over the world and that they will soon spread at high pace.

I expect the current pattern of repetitive infections and relatively mild disease in vaccinees to soon aggravate and be replaced by severe disease and death.

Unfortunately, there is no way vaccinees can rely on assistance from their innate immune system to protect against coronaviruses as their relevant innate IgM antibodies are increasingly being outcompeted by infection-enhancing vaccinal Abs, which are continuously recalled due to the circulation of highly infectious Omicron variants.

In contrast, Omicron’s high infectiousness would enable the non-vaccinated to train their innate immune defense against SC-2 while the infectious and pathogenic capacity of the new SC-2 variants would be debilitated in the non-vaccinated for lack of infection-enhancing Abs in their blood.

Unless we immediately implement large scale antiviral prophylaxis campaigns in highly vaccinated countries, there shall be no doubt that the pandemic will end by taking a huge toll on human lives.

Unfortunately when these variants arrive, you can expect our masters to implement more lockdowns; further mandatory, original Wuhan-strain spike protein vaccine boosters that make things worse; and more masking showing your submission — which they presumably love to see — but that is ineffective and harmful.

Then they’ll likely create more supply chain disruptions and food shortages. (See also here and here.)

Please resist this tyranny and expose these people.

Vanden Bossche (March 2022): Poor virus-neutralizing capacity in highly C-19 vaccinated populations could soon lead to a fulminant spread of Sars-CoV-2 super variants that are highly infectious and highly virulent in vaccinees while being fully resistant to all existing and future spike-based C- 19 vaccines

Our masters are running multiple operations against Americans and Europeans:

1. Covid, a deliberately released ethnic bioweapon combined with a vaccine program designed to keep viral spread going and facilitate evolutionary selection of more infectious and deadlier variants

2. Russian sanctions designed to reduce food and energy in the West

3. Massive illegal immigration of men of fighting age across open borders in Europe and America

We must resist all of it.

This includes food passports and rationing, reportedly in the works.

Any leader promoting these things is your enemy, paid to destroy you.

Belarus is the only country in Eastern and Southeast Europe that refused to impose a coronavirus quarantine, despite recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO).

“The IMF continues to demand quarantine measures, isolation, a curfew. This is nonsense. We will not dance to anyone’s tune,” [Belarusian president] Mr. Lukashenko told the nation’s new cabinet.

Public masking — a scam having no good evidence of reducing viral infections — is a harbinger of the evil to come.

Your wearing their ineffective and harmful masks or putting them on your children shows them your willingness to accept the fate they have in store for you.

Masks are harmful and can’t reduce Covid infection rates or viral transmission of any virus: expert

Industrial hygienist Stephen Petty gave excellent testimony in the New Hampshire Senate on how masks don’t block aerosols and can’t reduce viral infection rates. Physicians who’ve taken time to analyze the high-quality studies on masks know this. (See reviews of studies…

They never wear masks when they think you’re not looking. They play you for a fool in forcing you to wear them.

We’ve seen this playbook before, aimed at killing people of European descent and with devastating consequences.

Christian Westbrook (AKA Ice Age Farmer) reports on plans to impose digital food passports under the pretext of Russian sanctions and climate change, to restrict your family’s access to calories, protein, and other nutrients while being tied to vaccination records, social credit scores, and more.

Russian sanctions imposed by Biden’s handlers appear aimed at hurting Europe and America far worse than Russia, especially though energy and food shortages.

Is it revealing that the same leaders pushing mass vaccination of every human with leaky spike protein jabs having no long-term safety data are also demanding America suffer food shortages resulting from Russian sanctions and fraudulent climate change policies?

If Covid is a bioweapon operation intended to coerce vaccination and impose vaccine passports that control your access to vital services, wouldn’t rationing food with such passports, supposedly “to hurt Putin,” also represent such an operation?

For years, Westbrook has been covering concerted efforts by governments to harm food supplies in Europe and the US.

Westbrook in the video above:

The attacks are off the chart on food production right now. It’s not Putin or climate change. [F]or years now, this has been a calculated, systematic attack on farming, ranching, and all methods of food production.

Ice Age Farmer website:

Bread and circuses keep the masses asleep … and they are taking away the bread.

As Biden announces food shortages are coming — prompting many to go stock up, and likely necessitating food rationing — two massive attacks are being perpetrated against our food supply:

[a] A “bird flu” epidemic is sweeping Europe and the US, again fueled by PCR tests, forcing mass depopulation of poultry & “backyard flocks.”

[b] And farms contaminated with PFAS are being shut down as it is finally revealed that the “Biosludge” applied to farms (including organic!) was the equivalent of salting the Earth to destroy food production.

Westbrook notes the World Economic Forum states it wants to cut off the world from animal agriculture in a “post-animal economy.”

The closest thing to animal protein in your future may be “fungus burgers” made by Bill Gates out of mutant yeast and nanotechnology he won’t reveal because it’s a trade secret.

They also want to convince you “gardens are dangerous and that you shouldn’t be able to save seeds,” says Westbrook.
