    Nice. It seems as if that preacher would have taken up and instrument, he may have been pretty good. As for actors' performances being music-tized, I'm partial to Gene Wilder.

    There are real safety signals and the public health leaders along with some here still want to push unnecessary shots. That is current news. So it goes in this thread.

    I personally think we should have a separate thread on the shots. But when the cdc is recommending parents jab their kids with these shots. It is going to be news.

    CDC finally releases VAERS Safety Analysis. And now it’s clear why it tried to hide it for so long ...

    • CDC’s VAERS safety signal analysis based on reports from Dec. 14, 2020 – July 29, 2022 for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines shows clear safety signals for death and a range of highly concerning thrombo-embolic, cardiac, neurological, hemorrhagic, hematological, immune-system and menstrual adverse events (AEs) among U.S. adults.

    • There were 770 different types of adverse events that showed safety signals in ages 18+, of which over 500 (or 2/3) had a larger safety signal than myocarditis/pericarditis.

    • The CDC analysis shows that the number of serious adverse events reported in less than two years for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is 5.5 times larger than all serious reports for vaccines given to adults in the US since 2009 (~73,000 vs. ~13,000).

    • Twice as many mRNA COVID-19 vaccine reports were classified as serious compared to all other vaccines given to adults (11% vs. 5.5%). This meets the CDC definition of a safety signal.

    Since we love anecdotal stories here, I work for a company that sells AEDs. Sudden Cardiac Arrest is not new and has been the number one killer in the workplace for a long time. In our training we’re taught that it does not discriminate and can strike perfectly healthy people at any time, without warning. This is not a new phenomenon. What’s new is the reporting of every incident by less than reputable “news” outlets. Increases will absolutely happen when you count suicide and car accidents in your statistics. I wouldn’t doubt that cases are actually up to an extent, but I’m still leaning towards the actual virus being largely responsible. Pretty much the whole world has had some strain of Covid at this point. As many of us were mocked for “hiding in our basements” we said in 2020, we have no idea the long term effects Covid may have. Well, here we are with an increase in cardiac episodes.

    Reverse anecdote: I never knew of any young person who suddenly arrested at work or on the field. Never even heard of it. Did hear of neck injuries on the field.

    Fast forward to 2020ff: I have two acquaintances, one a former co-worker, another a Facebook friend who were stricken with GBS as affirmed by their physicians. I also have a friend, a formerly healthy 60 year old who developed blood clots in both lungs and now can’t go anywhere without dragging along a large oxygen canister. This is not normal. This is going beyond confirmation bias.

    You are correct. So is Hank Gathers, for those of us old enough to remember. What you need is a pre-COVID level baseline. Fortunately, we have a 2016 study looking at cardiac events in athletes.

    What we need to do now is compare the baseline with the number of events happening now. And when we do that, we don't see any significant increase in expected events.

    I’m not saying that every death is a vaccine death.

    “Further evidence of the failure of the vaccine drive, Chudov notes, is that deaths overall in Australia are running at about a fifth higher than usual.

    What awaits Australia in 2023? We do not know, and Covid proved everyone’s past predictions wrong. I cannot see how these endless waves of Covid will end when people’s immunity worldwide is unset by reckless vaccinations [see here].
    The only thing I know is that if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. I hope that Australians will soon stop taking Covid vaccines.

    They will not be helped in that by the NSW health authority, which has decided to drop vaccination status from its weekly reports, as from December 31st.”

    Can’t say that I blame them. Side note: vaccines are making people more susceptible to a non-existent viral infection. They’re just killing people outright after having tested positive.

    Media still twisting itself in knots to shield it’s readers from the obvious. 61 year old bodybuilder issues haughty challenge to the vax-hesitant, subsequently dies.

    In response to the we told you so’s from the preached-to’s, paid fact-checkers bellow “Nah-ah! It wasn’t the vaccine! It was the disease he was vaccinated for that killed him!”

    Presumably he would have been even dead-er if not for the vaccine.

    Fact check: Bodybuilder Doug Brignole died of COVID-19, records show
