The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

“I felt so bad because he protected the country and I can’t even protect his memory,” Erica Laws

Quote II

“I’m not worried -- and it’s unkind to say this -- I’m not worried if an idiot gets COVID and dies,” the rocker matter-of-factly states. “I’m worried he takes other people with him. Who didn’t have a choice. It doesn’t have to be death. Being in a hospital is horrific. There are so many cases of people who were deniers and who are begging in the hospital to get the vaccine. But it’s too late.” Gene Simmons of Kiss

Quote III

“I’m a conservative. I think you govern best when you govern closest to the people being governed. And if a local community is having—their ICU is full, and the people at the local schools see that they’ve got to stay open, because otherwise children miss out for another year of school, and they put in policy, then the local official should be listened to" Sen. Bill Cassidy, MD (R-LA)

Quote IV

“Servicing the lavatory was a first time experience for me. You have to experience some of the dirtier jobs to be able to relate to and respect what the airmen go through every day.” U.S. Air Force Capt. Erin Walsh, 380th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron

Quote V

“Nobody will ever understand why Mitch McConnell allowed this non-infrastructure bill to be passed. He has given up all of his leverage for the big whopper of a bill that will follow. I have quietly said for years that Mitch McConnell is the most overrated man in politics—now I don’t have to be quiet anymore,” Pres. Donald J. Trump

I normally don't report celebrity crap. But............***SNORT***. Poor Meghan Princess Grifter.

THERE were some very special celebrations taking place last week, with Meghan Markle and Barack Obama both marking their birthdays on August 4th.

However, the Duchess of Sussex - who turned 40 - is reported by a royal expert to be unhappy that she wasn't invited to the former US President's party.

In a just world, someone would be going to prison and suffering the indignities that are associated with prison. However, since Washington D.C. swamp critters are involved. There will be no consequences for anyone.

The Office of the Inspector General for the National Security Agency announced Tuesday an investigation has been launched after Fox News anchor and journalist Tucker Carlson was unmasked.

"The National Security Agency Office of the Inspector General (OIG) announced that it is conducting a review related to recent allegations that the NSA improperly targeted the communications of a member of the U.S. news media. The OIG is examining NSA’s compliance with applicable legal authorities and Agency policies and procedures regarding collection, analysis, reporting, and dissemination activities, including unmasking procedures, and whether any such actions were based upon improper considerations. If circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider other issues that may arise during the review," the office released in a statement.

Honor among thieves? No!

Someone claiming to work with one of the most notorious ransomware gangs says they’re fed up with how extortion money is divvied up and has leaked a host of the gang's files on a hacker forum.

The files, posted to a forum frequented by Russian-speaking cybercriminals and reviewed by NBC News, include numerous instruction manuals allegedly belonging to Conti, a Russian-speaking hacker group that has attacked several hospitals, including health care chains in the U.S., and Ireland’s national system, the Health Service Executive.

In one step-by-step guide, written in Russian, members are instructed how to identify and hack victims using Cobalt Strike, software that includes a number of known hacking programs. While built for defenders to test their own systems, Cobalt Strike has become a popular tool for criminal hackers.

FAA Wants To Control How Much Alcohol Flyers Drink At Airports

The Federal Aviation Administration wants to become a nagging spouse, counting your drinks and then berating you when you order another cocktail.

Of course, there has been some recent madness in the skies, including the most recent incident when a man appearing to be intoxicating went on a rampage that ended with him being taped to a chair. That has prompted the FAA to decide that alcohol consumption in airports should be limited.

It looks like Oregon's politicians and teachers unions really don't give a flying fuck for students.

According to a new report from Oregon Live, Oregon Governor Kate Brown has signed a law to allow students to graduate without proving they can read, write or do math.

She apparently does not want to talk about it, the report says.

Per the Free Beacon “The bill, which the Democratic legislature passed in June in a mostly party-line vote, suspends Oregon’s high school graduation requirements for at least five years as the state works to reform its high school standards. A spokesman for the governor’s office told the Oregonian that suspending the proficiency requirements will benefit “Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.””

Oregon Senate Republicans tweeted “This was perhaps the worst bill that passed this session and Democrats can’t come up with a good reason for it.”

Two Teens Found a Dead Body in a Ditch, but Before Getting Help, They Robbed It

Content warning: This article discusses a disturbing video involving a dead body.

Human beings have always participated in some grisly, inhumane, and downright ugly practices. In modern society, however, we've become more and more privy to this bad behavior because so many people have video cameras and can either live stream or upload footage of their disturbing actions to the internet.

It is nice to see a teenager not sitting on his or her ass with their damn cell phone.

Fourteen-year-old James Savage finished the length in 12 hours earlier in August, according to the Tahoe Daily Tribune. Savages previously completed the separate pair of two-mile or longer legs. The teens swim began at South Lake Tahoe and ended in Incline Village, Nev.

James became the youngest to complete the 12-mile true width swim, also known as the “Godfather” swim, from the Godfather Mansion in Homewood to Cave Rock, which is part 2 of the Triple Crown.

“I had no doubts whatsoever,” Jillian Savage, James's mother, told the Tahoe Daily Tribune. “He’s been swimming almost every day, six, seven days a week since he was 8. With open water, it’s just what he does. But mentally, even though it takes a whole bunch of us to make the swim possible, he’s really out there by himself.”

Quite the couple. Quite the Genius Award Winners.

Police responding to a 1 AM domestic disturbance found a Florida couple “covered in spaghetti” following a physical confrontation that resulted in the pair’s arrest on domestic battery charges, records show.

According to police, Stephanie Lannas, 45, and her boyfriend, Adolfo Rivera, 35, were eating dinner early Friday morning in their Clearwater home when a verbal argument turned violent.

During the physical confrontation, police allege, Lannas and Rivera each shoved a plate of spaghetti in the other’s face. When a Clearwater Police Department cop arrived at the residence, the duo was “still covered in spaghetti upon officer’s arrival.”

The mutual combat--for which alcohol was a factor--led to Lannas and Rivera each being arrested for domestic battery. They were booked into the county jail and released the following day on their own recognizance.

Kids shouldn't suffer from cancer. The least we can do is honor their last wishes. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

THE BIKE THAT IS GOOD FOR THE SPIRIT
There are several types of treatments. More or less invasive, some act on a broad spectrum and others are more direct. Some, on the other hand, do not affect the disease, but help the soul. Because there is nothing stronger than a positive and fighting spirit to deal with a disease, even in a six-year-old child. In fact, this story comes from Germany, where a 6 year old child was diagnosed with cancer.

His family made a special request to help the child cope with the treatment: the son is passionate about motorcycles, so he asked the motorcyclists of a local motorbike club to go by motorbike in front of the house, because even just the sight of a motorbike of any kind brings him joy and makes him feel good. The parents thought that even about fifty motorcycles could make a pass in front of the windows of the house. The request then became a whirlwind, a word of mouth that ran fast and numerous on the web, very numerous: in the end, along the road in front of the house, more than 15,000 motorcyclists paraded.

The only thing about this is that you somehow think it's different than the last many years of chronic incompetence, MisHum.
Not complaining, mind you, after all, you live in Cheeseville and I live in Latteland, both with essentially Communist public education unions.
Communists know that keeping the masses stupid and angry makes it easier to destroy the existing, functioning society.
And judging by the last few years, it's working.
As long as the paychecks and benefits keep coming, there is no incentive for them to change.

57 I'm not worried if an idiot gets COVID and dies...

I'm still looking for a public comment where one who is skeptical about the risk/reward of the mRNA injections and have such a pig ignorant and hate-filled view such as the likes of so many virtue signaling personalities.

I have heard many crazy things about the mRNA injections, but I haven't heard anybody wish death or feel happy about the death of someone who took the Clot Shot. In fact, I hear more people who have not bowed the knee pray for the safety of those who have.

Rather pray that the mRNA injections are relatively benign and that those hundreds of thousands of people suffering side-effects are over-stating the alleged suffering.

71 Had my introductory session at the new job today. The college president is a decent type, I would say, including with the Covid paranoia. He said in his address that he would not try to force any of us to go one way or another; he personally recommended getting the vaxx, but said he was opposed to any attempt to make it mandatory. Ditto for masks; he didn't think much of them, but we could wear them if we wanted.

I found him later during a break and said I fully approved of his position: not that he necessarily cares what a new hire thinks, but hearing positive feedback from below can't hurt.

73 And how many hospitals has Gene Simmons been too where he has witnessed people "begging for the vaccine?" I'm willing to bet none. Another celeb talking out of his ass, as usual.

He probably got it from the twitter bots that were posting about their brother begging for the vaxx. Cool story, too bad several hundred bots all posted the same thing.

That reminds me to file my latest Level of Fear report from here in Smallville, State of Flyover.

We hit the two grocery stores tonight. It was late, so not a lot of shoppers, but there was a noticeable uptick in the masked population. Several kids with the smile suppressors - that really irks me, but I return the courtesy of saying nothing that those poor folk pay me.

I noticed the uberliberal Aldi had moved their "advisory" notice from low on a side window over to eye-level on the door, but still the same notice. Their employees were told weeks ago that they could unmask if they had the shot -- and, so, sort-of good for them -- they were all still masked.

The American grocery store (basically next door) had no KungFlu notice of any kind; their employees got their faces set free weeks ago.

But gauging by the masked ones, the new KungFlu Boogaloo 2 is already starting.

Brown is committing fraud. She is going to permit issue of bogus graduation certificates, a credential that some companies and probably all community colleges use as proof applicants have a base level of reading, writing, and mathematical abilities.

147 The current tally is that Kate Brown has done more to harm Oregonians than even the CCP. The CCP only killed thousands with their biological weapon against the West, while Kate has ruined hundreds of thousands for the rest of their lives by destroying their livelihoods, savings, as well as her destruction of the public education system.

But the destruction continues, so the competition continues as well.
One thing is for sure, both of them despise regular Oregonians.

151 I saw today a couple that appeared to be mid 30s walking down a sidewalk with 2 younger boys. I'm guessing between the ages of 5-9. Mom and the 2 boys were wearing masks.

For Fuck Sakes there wasn't anyone on the sidewalk but them. I wanted to roll the window down and start hacking and utter Karen, Karen. But, I didn't

I've mentioned them before, but we have a wonderful middle aged black couple as neighbors. One is a college professor. Neither leaves the house unmasked. They drive out of their garage in their $100k cars with their masks on.

It has broken so many brains.

Do they still require standardized testing? Or has that been dumped? If the latter, then there is no longer any legal requirement to do anything with the kids other than to feed them and make a feeble attempt to keep them from killing each other - basically, we are talking about a human kennel.

It isn't fraud anymore, its thirteen years of "do whatever you want as long as you don't get caught".

From their rules https://t.co/VclQwbiRRe

"Rule 115. Rio reserves the right to remove any Participant from any WSOP Event ...
including but not limited to, if Participant is determined by Rio in its sole discretion, to have received a positive test result for COVID-19 or come into close proximity (within 6 feet for 15 cumulative minutes) of any person who has tested positive for COVID-19, ..."

So I get DQ'd (with no refund) if someone I'm sitting next to tests positive? Nope.

Movie producers should take advantage of this for a disaster movie. But CGI is probably cheaper, and poses no risk to actors, stuntmen, camera operators and cameras.

Anyway, using the sinking of a real cruise ship in a movie has been done. Well, not complete sinking of a ship. The 1960 film, "The Last Voyage," used an intentionally partially-sunk liner, SS Ile de France. From IMDB:

The ship used by the filmmakers was the SS Ile de France, the famous French liner that cruised the Atlantic from 1926-59. She was leased for $4,000 a day. After shooting completed, she was re-floated (having been partially sunk for the film) and towed to the scrap yard.

I only found out about the Cuomo resignation because I logged into the HQ a couple of hours ago and read the earlier articles.
God help me, I so love those Burning Skulls. They are a thing of beauty.
But one of the important things is that the Dungeness crab season is open in upper Puget Sound. Brother and wife are on their 28 foot boat in LaConner, north Sound area. He told me on Monday they soaked one pot for 3 hours, and got 23 keepers (minimum 6 and one-quarter inch shell width, males) They only had 2 tags, each good for 5 crab a day, and had to throw back 13.
BTW, 23 crab in 3 hours with one pot is astonishing abundance.
The earliest time I have free on an open day is next weekend. You positively know where I'm going to be next Saturday.

296 So I tried to watch Jackson's Hobbit movies. I only got as far as the scene where Doctor Who is racing through the woods with giant bunnies. Turned it off, never looked back.

Today I was begifted a copy of the Tolkien edit, which supposedly cuts the three-movie mess down to one (long) film, more true to the book.

So, Milady Jo and I are going to go check it out. See you tomorrow, or in a few minutes, depending....

I've never heard of them, but they look pretty cheap. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it might be difficult to sharpen or keep sharp, or the ergonomics could be bad and it's uncomfortable in your hand. I'd suggest holding a few before deciding.

It's not "tactical", but I can't recommend an Opinel #6 enough. Wonderful, inexpensive, elegant little folding knives that hold an edge like crazy. $10-$15 or so in the camping section or at a local hardware store.

The Long beach is run by brain-dead retards with no imagination whatsoever. It would easy, but not necessarily inexpensive, to dig a canal to float the old darling another few hundred yards inshore. Then backfill the canal behind it, pump out the water in the section occupied by the ship, and replace that water with concrete. Result? A ship now rooted in the ground, and any further decay of the hull will be immaterial.

391 Anyway, using the sinking of a real cruise ship in a movie has been done. Well, not complete sinking of a ship. The 1960 film, "The Last Voyage," used an intentionally partially-sunk liner, SS Ile de France. From IMDB:

The ship used by the filmmakers was the SS Ile de France, the famous French liner that cruised the Atlantic from 1926-59. She was leased for $4,000 a day. After shooting completed, she was re-floated (having been partially sunk for the film) and towed to the scrap yard.
Posted by: Gref at August 10, 2021 09:55 PM (AMIL/)

Just for the record, ocean liners like the Queen Mary, and the Ile de France are not "cruise ships". Their purposes are quite different, and that extends to their construction. Liners are built to cross the oceans quickly. Cruise ships are floating condos that just dawdle along.

416 Speaking of officers and protocol, etc., when I was an officer I wore my marksmanship badge on my class-A's because I realized there was no exception in the uniform regs for officers. All I heard was "it's customary". So I followed the uniform regs (or, more specifically, the lack of exception for officers) and disobeyed the "custom". I eventually suspected that the "custom" was due to too many officers not shooting sharpshooter or expert, and not wanting to communicate that fact to the troops under their command. However, I did shoot sharpshooter or expert and I did want to communicate that fact to the troops under my command. Never got any gruff for following the regs.

My wife's first comment was " is the man a complete idiot"? WSP is already struggling to maintain staffing levels. I know several patrolmen. This will not be received well.

474 But the "vaccines" are "leaky", meaning they don't prevent transmission, don't provide mucosal immunity. I think.

So, like an N95 mask (maybe, and usually probably not), the "vaccines" do NOT "protect" others.

But with a society (globally) so stupid, ignorant, dumbed down, and subservient, it's best just to lie, cheat, and marginalize people or groups where you can.

483 Sock Monkey, I still remember when Buck moved from El Cajon (eastern part of San Diego) to ID. I wasn't here at the time, but it was a thing. An early example of the mass exodus/extinction of small manufacturing in CA. Which of course resulted in a hollowing out of much of the middle class and prosperous skilled working class.

But not to worry!

Public employees making (in real terms, when total compensation is the standard, and excluding the massive remaining feature of job security) 2-3 times what previous people in their positions made (often doing their jobs better), are the new, fake "middle class".

That law was overturned by the US Supreme court that ruled that children were not mere wards of the state.

Because although children are not mere wards of the state, all schooling is a ward of the state, just like barbers.

I'm filled with regret. Come to Jesus now, before it's too late. Don't be like me."

Good point, that. But it doesn't ring true, in any case. Most people know, have had it drummed into them, in fact, that vaccines can't "cure" disease, only prevent it. So all the stories about people on their death bed clamoring for a shot of clot snot are just bullshit.

People who spread those lies need a hickory shampoo.

or after six months or a year, is there no benefit at all to having had the vaccine?

522 illiniwek, have not followed it diligently, but believe the biggest data set is from Israel, and that mitigation (prevention of serious disease) appears to remain robust at the 6-month mark, while protection against infection has fallen below 20%.

Given the mechanics of the vaccine (inducing protection against the distinctive spike protein of the alpha variant), the decline in infection protection makes sense. The mRNA people are not surprised by the decline in protection, I don't think.

But I'm off to the Bismarck Sea (sadly, only digitally), so .....

this is where my knowledge of exact science terminology wanes ... a quick search says vaccine efficacy is about "attack rate", which I assume means contracting (catching?) the virus, but not about mitigation (better outcome).

It seems to me that if efficacy is near zero, the mitigation benefits would also be (at least) greatly reduced ... but it is complicated.

Publius is really the better one to talk to about it, I'm just going by memory.

Basically the study he quoted from looked at three metrics, antibody presence, hospitalization rates, and mortality, IIRC.

I believe the efficacy in those categories had reached an efficacy half-life within 68 days and was statistically insignificant after 198 days.

I can't recall if those numbers were plucked from antibody tests or if they included all three metrics.

No vaccine prevents infection. They produce antibodies to battle the disease. All of the health professionals know this. They conveniently fail to discuss that part.

We had some sneaky Land Nav instructors. After a day-long test on the Land Nav course (about 30 miles total) they gathered everyone together and told us they had inserted a fake Nav Point somewhere on the course. The only way to find it was to cheat.

They offered amnesty to anyone who stepped forward (before we handed our tests in); you would be allowed to retake the course the next day at a 10 pt penalty. But if you stayed mum and had that fake point solved on your test, you would be dropped from the course (resulting in office hours and reduction in rank when your Battalion found out).

I was cool, didn't need to cheat as Land Nav was one of the few things I was very good at. But I smelled a con.

604 Sock Monkey, "that's what I meant", to use a common phrase, referring to the ability of vaccines to prevent infection. Via antibodies created thereby (the vaccination).

The mRNA "vaccines" in this case, apparently, do not produce the broad antibody defenses one gets from familiar and successful vaccines like smallpox, Salk, etc. The do produce defenses against the C19 spike protein, but that fades over time (again, from what I've read, no surprise to mRNA vaccine designers).

Anyway. My point was that the mRNAs don't prevent transmission, as they don't provide the broad general immunity, so the whole "protect others" rationale or attack or obsession completely evaporates. As with even N95 masks, which I doubt provide much actual protection to the wearer either - no protection of others.

And all of this is irrelevant, factitious and destructive paranoia for a pathogen with an overall IFR, and clearly focused mortality, of covid 19.

I suspect that N95 masks provide even less protection to third parties than do makeshift cloth ones. The N95 filter media is quite restrictive. So on the exhale, the exhaled air finds the path of least resistance: out the perimeter of the mask, carrying any airborne virons with it. And because the filter media is so restrictive, users will instinctively find work-arounds to defeat an effective seal so that they can breathe without too much effort.

615 Bismarck Sea battle video was quite good. This guy does a good job of providing just enough background and context, including technical, without losing the thread of his narrative. And, as hoped, skip bombing.

Didn't realize the unusual manpower stats of the Pacific War. Japan used only 11 divisions (plus special detachments) for its entire conquest and ultimately failed defense of its Pacific empire. Australia had 12 divisions. US only ever deployed 21 there, through the surrender (I think this number would have climbed if Coronet, March 1946, had occurred).

Of course it's small islands, mostly, or mostly unusable jungle islands like New Guinea, so small numbers of troops is not shocking.

Didn't know air units had been dispatched to strafe survivors of the Japanese convoy massacre - serene about the morality of it (these troops die in the water or die while taking 2-3 Allied soldiers with them, on land), but still surprised. Sounds trite, but adults in charge at the time - not amoral or ruthless, just serious.

621 AOP - absolutely correct, as is your custom. And that leaves aside the rather lively - as in completely transformative - question of "nebulization" - exhalation through any kind of mask or medium resulting in a finer, lighter form of droplets (and virions) with slower sedimentation, and hence greater ability to infect.

I famously (ha) gave up on it all in fall 2020, but several actual experts in the field (who develop nebulization techniques for therapeutic purposes, who really know the mechanics) were sounding that alarm back then.

The greatest call of the night was the batter hit the ball so foul the only way it could have been more foul is it was in the next ball field. The ump called it fair and the the field teams was like, "OK, we can work this!" This resulted in the batter being called out at first base without ever leaving the batters box.

Hilarity ensued. Eventually everybody calmed down and agreed that the proper thing to do was roll back the out and continue with the same batter.

The Ump caught the humor of all this and kept looking around and saying "are we good!" every time he made a call.

Late to the party tonight. Japanese study mentioned above found the mRNA vaccines have a antibody "half-life" of about 68 days. After 198 days the level of neutralizing antibodies is down to nil. The latest Israeli data has the infection efficacy down to 20% (with confidence interval reaching 0%) for those vaccinated in Feb.

Now, sterilizing vs non-sterilizing vaccines/immunity. I think we're all pretty much up to speed on that. It is clear these spike protein only vaccines are non-sterilizing and cannot prevent infection and transmission.

Now, note that the protection against *severe disease* is still higher than 20%. How does this work, you may wonder. How can a non-sterilizing vaccines that allows for infection and transmission still reduce more severe disease.

There is no worthwhile "memory immunity" (T-cell) induced by these spike only vaccines. You need N-protein recognition (which natural immunity provides in spades) to get sterilizing, "point of entry"/mucoscal immunity to this virus.

633
Now, say a vaccinated person with low antibody titers gets infected. There is still some "spike memory" there, which, when enough cells get infected and the spike protein is floating around, will be recalled to produce more anti-spike activity.

This is the mechanism via which it still maintains higher efficacy against severe disease. And this is also the mechanism to put natural selection pressure on the virus to mutate it's spike protein to escape that immune response.

This is why using a non-sterilizing vaccine in the middle of a mass outbreak of the disease you're fighting is weapons-grade stupid. Those who do this should be taken out and shot. It's that stupid.

When you have an active outbreak of something, by God, you only want to use sterilizing vaccines or nothing at all.

A useful analogy for sterilizing vs non-sterilizing immunity is a military invasion one.

Imagine the virus is an enemy invader trying to land on the beach. Sterilizing immunity is repelling the invader at the beach. The enemy never gains a beachhead.

With non-sterilizing, the enemy does gain a beachhead, and manages to get inside. You may still repel him, but he's inside and fighting inland and in your towns and cities before you defeat him.

N-protein recognition is the only way to get your immune system to sterilizing immunity against coronaviruses. These vaccines do not do that.

You may wonder why Pharma and the Top. Men. didn't go for N-protein vaccines. Well, they tried before. And failed. Remember the first SARS. Sars-CoV-1. This latest is Sars-Cov-2.

They tried to produce vaccines against the first SARS. With N-protein vaccines. They failed. Big Time. ADE effects. That is, try you N-protein vaccine in animal studies. Challenge the vaccinated with the actual virus. Your vaccine makes it much worse.

Coronaviruses are notorious for ADE effects, BTW. Pharma and the Top.Men found the only thing that did not produce ADE effects immediately was the spike protein approach.

And that's why they went with that. Now, we learn that there were some "signals" for ADE even with the spike, just much less than the N-protein attempts.

648 >> Publius, what is the effect of mass-vaccination using leaky vaxxes during a pandemic on unvaxxed: 1) those who've never had covid; and 2) those who have had it but recovered

That's a good question. So far, the variants don't appear to be any worse than the original. Looking at some hard data, the dreaded Delta is less virulent than the orignal (mortality less) and even the transmissibility appears to not be much greater. The Top. Men would protest this last point. But that's only when you assume the vaccines are lowering transmision. They aren't.

Now, the question is what happens to a vaxxed individual who gets infected and then recovers? What does his immune profile look like then? No one knows. No study on that has yet been published. I would assume it might improve the immune memory profile more toward the N-protein, but it still wouldn't be as good as natural immunity.

If unvaxxed, stay that way, I plead with you, and you look at the FLCCC protocol. Get thee some Ivermerctin on hand, even if horse paste, and be prepared.

651 Antibody-dependent Enhancement (ADE)

"ADE occurs when the antibodies generated during an immune response recognize and bind to a pathogen, but they are unable to prevent infection. Instead, these antibodies act as a 'Trojan Horse', allowing the pathogen to get into cells and exacerbate the immune response."

654 I came late to the party & am probably covering ground already trod but I own a Kershaw Blur as an EDC folder and it is very good and reasonably priced (I have the more spendy S30V blade but still worth the money, I think).

Of note for PNW morons especially, Buck often has blems on display in their factory showroom for a significant discount. Blem (blemished) being what an OCD QC type person rejects as unsuited for sale via normal channels but are functionally sound.

Benchmade, in my limited experience, has excellent quality but are very expensive, making it more likely to become a safe queen (ask me how I know).

ADE = antibody disease enhancement. Basically, antibodies make it worse.

Another one, OAS = "original antigenic sin". Look that up.

All these things can come into play.

ADE can happen even with your natural immune system. Even it can screw up. But it's track record is much better than Pharma, believe you me.

I encourage all of you to read Geert Vanden Bossche. He's one of the top virologists and immunologists in the field. Long list of real word credentials on the system, involved with many a vaccine effort over the world.

He warned, from the get-go that these leaky Covid vaccines would be a disaster. Don't do it, he beseeched the Top. Men. But they didn't listen.

If you want someone with a Ph.D. and all sorts of other credentials after his name, along with patents and other bullet points on the C.V, he's the one, and he'll tell you, in Ph.D language exactly all the shit I've been rambling about.

Either horde information resources are way wrong or these folks are being completely bamboozled. Every media trope was trotted out despite the inherent contradictions we've all seen and heard.

659 The info on the above linked website is not comforting (even though it only applies to children). It gives only 2 examples ADE resulting from vaccines, and in both instances those who were vaccinated were worse off when infected again:

1) Respiratory syncytial virus: "In clinical trials, children who were given the vaccine were more likely to develop or die from pneumonia after infection with RSV"

2) Measles: "Children who were vaccinated and later became infected with measles in the community developed high fevers, unusual rash, and an atypical form of pneumonia."

Are we going to see this with Covid vaccine? Where those that are vaccinated suffer more lethality when re-infected? Or does the fact this is a mRNA vaccine make it an entirely different circumstance?

663 >> Are we going to see this with Covid vaccine? Where those that are vaccinated suffer more lethality when re-infected?

Robert Malone says we are beginning to see the signals of this. I don't know. Some say the boosters will kill that signal for a while.

Look at "binding-only" vs neutralizing antibodies. The mRNA vaccine produce more of the former than than the latter. Several papers have shown this. This is why the dose of these vaccines was such to produce higher titers of total antibody levels than even natural infection produces. It was to to get the levels of neutralizing antibodies high enough, at the expense of even greater titers of binding-only.

Binding-only are the ones implicated in ADE. So, as the levels of antibodies wane over time, the binding-only type will remain even after the neutralizing get below detection levels.

This is when ADE might kick in in the vaxxed population. A booster would kick the neutralizing back up.

Just FYI, Pharma has learned that the best place to experiment on people and children is in 3rd world shithole countries such as in Africa. They can get away with a lot of shit there they couldn't get away with here or in other advanced counties.

That's a red pill that is hard to swallow for a lot of people.

671 "Binding-only are the ones implicated in ADE."

This is a bit over my head LOL but to make sure I am following you - getting the Neutralizing antibodies to the proper level also meant raising the Binding-only antibodies to an even higher level (since there were already more of them) Thereby increasing the chance for ADE?

Yes. The binding-only fraction of vaccine induced spike antibodies is higher than neutralizing in these mRNA vaccines. Don't know what they are with the adenovirus vector vaccines like J&J and AZ.

So as the antibodies wane, according to the 68-day half-life, at some point, the binding-only will still be significant, while neutralizing will be too low.

Binding-only means an antibody that is capable of binding to the pathogen, but does not neutralize it. In ADE, this binding actually enhances the ability of the pathogen to infect a cell.

IOW, the antibody, which is close, but not close enough, manages to enhance the ability of the virus to infect a host cell.

682 I watched an interesting presentation on bitchute awhile back. Dr Ryan Cole a pathologist discussing the effects of the spike protein on your body. He pointed out that VAERS has recorded over 11k deaths in recently vaccinated patients. He also stated that in all of those deaths only one autopsy has been performed. I think that if true, that is a very salient question.

Re VAERS. All the smart people tell us not to pay any attention to VAERS. Why, correlation is not causation and all that. But I ask, what the the hell happened. Why so many deaths and adverse events reported for these Covid vaccines, and no others?

Why? What changed. You'll find that 94% of the deaths associated with vaccines are all Covid. In years of *all* the other vaccines administered, none even come close to the Covid vaccines.

For example, Flu vaccines. 100s of million per year. 24 deaths associated with it per year. A trifle compared to the numbers for the Covid vaccines in less than a year.

And it's not just VAERS. The Europeans have a similar system. Same results as VAERS. Hell, from reports in Hungary, which someone was reporting on Denninger's forum the serious AE (adverse effect) ratio for the Covid vaccines was 4/10K. The kill rate was about 79/1M. or 8/100K.

The Top. Men. tell us this is nonsense. Okay, prove it. Why is this nonsense? Why do all these systems show far more AE for the Covid vaccines than any other? By orders of magnitude?
