The Latest Vaccine Safety Gibberish

Once more, here is my position on the CV-19 vax.  They should not have been mandated.  They have minimal effectiveness after a few months for most people, like every respiratory virus vaccine.  Multiple doses risk actually impairing a good immune response to an evolving virus.  The immune response from an infection is better than the one prompted by the vax.  People should seek their own medical advice, but I wouldn’t get another dose of the vax and I absolutely would not give one to children or young adults.   Like all vaccines these have some adverse effects including a fairly significant risk of heart inflammation in children and young adults, especially males, real males that is, not wannabe delusionalists.  But there is absolutely zero trustworthy evidence to suggest any widespread safety problems.

I tire of attempting to bring rationality to the safety issue.  We have a bunch of incompetent do-nothings, the vax safety nuts, leading the charge, making up stuff, including about their background and experience, and trying to get rich in the process–Alex Berenson with his paid substack.  “Dr.” McCullough with his snake oil mRNA detox.  And so on.  Looking for their 15 minutes of fame and some celebrity among those who are weak-minded and susceptible.  What an audience to seek.  And of course now we have brain-dead left-winger trial attorney RFK, Jr. at HHS, the original vax idiot.

Here are a couple of the latest pieces of research seized on and twisted by this despicable group.   The first one has been pimped by the VSNs as terrifyingly demonstrating that the vaccines cross the placenta to the fetus.  Here is what is really hilarious about this, since 99.9% of the people repeating this stuff don’t actually read, or even know how to read, the research.  The point of the study was to show that yes, the vaccines cross to the fetus, and, while cleared quickly, may prompt an immune response there, which is good and protects the fetus to some extent, since the virus may also cross.  The authors express absolutely zero concern about any safety impacts.   In fact they are enthusiastic about the potential to use the technology more broadly to protect fetuses against pathogens.  I wouldn’t be eager to advise pregnant women to get vaxed against a relatively minor threat like CV-19.  But of course somehow the VSNs turned this into a big revelation of great danger.  And to further minimize taking anything in the study as alarming, it was done in mice, not humans.  While mice are often used in early-stage drug development, they are not humans, or at least not most humans, and there are differences in biochemistry, as the authors themselves note.  A great big nothing-burger, unless you are a delusional conspiracy crank.   (Cell Study)

The second study relates to “long” CV-19.  Some reminders here.  Most viral infections, especially significant ones, leave a residue of virus, some viruses find human body reservoirs and remain for decades.  Most serious diseases, including those prompted by viral infections, cause some people to have lingering symptoms and lasting decrements to health.  This is well-studied phenomenon, nothing unique to CV-19.  And in American society today we have a large sub-culture of health obsessives, constantly depressed and anxious and finding one health symptom after another, often so they can avoid work or other responsibilities and get disability payments.  “Long” CV-19 is tailor-made for this group.  Not saying there aren’t legitimate cases of people with lasting CV-19 symptoms and health issues, but be skeptical about the real prevalence and seriousness.

So a good set of researchers looks into whether some of those alleged to have long CV-19 may actually have long post-CV-19 vax syndrome.  Now you have to think about this very carefully.  Almost every American has been infected at least once.  A very large percent of all Americans are vaxed.  Finding people who are vaxed but who had not been infected is extremely difficult.  And the difficulty is enhanced by the fact that the typical antibody test for prior infection is not all that accurate, particularly when for many people the initial immune response fades and there are few memory cells still circulating.  So when the vast majority of Americans were both vaxed and infected, there is no way to distinguish symptoms supposedly attributable to the vax versus the virus.

The researchers who did this study tried to find people with no prior infection, but who were vaccinated and see if some had symptoms similar to long-CV-19 and whether those symptoms might be tied to the vax.  They claim that they did find some people like this, but again, be a little skeptical for all the reasons outlined above.  The first thing you will note on reading the study is that the authors praise, which I wouldn’t, the vaccines as saving millions of lives, and in general discuss them favorably.  The authors then gone on to find some differences in immune responses to those with post-vaccine syndrome versus those without, but also find a greater level of Epstein-Barr virus re-activation, which may account for the symptoms.  Epstein-Barr, you may recall, is associated with chronic fatigue syndrome, another favorite diagnosis of malingerers.  But they also say that the general health status of the alleged sufferers of this syndrome is much worse than of the control group.  Not clear to what extent this was true before vax, but that obviously was likely the case.

Please note further that the authors’ description of efforts to separate those with a prior infection is murky, leading me to question how effective it was.  They claim to be in part studying those with this supposed post-vax syndrome and a prior infection versus those without prior infection.  That seems fraught with methodological danger, particularly in such a small study.  But they found that those with the post-vax syndrome were far more likely to have had a prior infection than those without such a syndrome.  And here is what puzzles me, the researchers said there was no difference in the immune system populations between those who had no CV-19 infection and the control group.  This tells me the symptoms were purely due to infection.

Of course none of these are noted by the VSNs, who immediately seized upon the study to claim millions of people had this alleged syndrome.  The methodological issues in the study and the authors own words speak for themselves.  This alleged syndrome is uncertain at best and could only possibly affect a very small subset of people.  On X, one of the authors specifically said they were making no claims about prevalence.   (Medrxiv Paper)

If you buy into all this vaccine safety conspiracy nonsense and don’t learn to actually read the research yourself, you are like a dog lapping up the vomitus and excreta of other animals.  Be a little more careful about what you eat.
