This Just In: Triple-Jabbed Getting COVID


Some experts have finally gotten the memo that this ISN'T a pandemic of the unvaccinated--by getting COVID themselves. Twelve "super responsible," "risk-averse," triple-jabbed doctors and "health experts" attended a wedding in Wisconsin and caught COVID. They've since infected at least five people, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.  The five people mentioned in the tweet below were at the wedding. 

It's time to "stop calling this a pandemic of the unvaccinated," said Dr. Deb Furr Holden, an epidemiologist who thinks she contracted COVID at the wedding. 

Two cheers for Dr. Holden for admitting this--I'd give her three if she went a little further: the mandatory vaccinations for health care workers are pointless. (The Chronicle article is paywalled, but as far as I can tell from Twitter, she has not said this.) Not only are they pointless for stopping the spread of COVID, but they're aggravating the shortage of nurses. IU Health is now asking for help from the Indiana National Guard instead of dropping their vaccine mandate, as several other large hospital systems have done. If you think only about 100 of their 36,000 employees quit because of the mandate, as they claim, I've got a covered bridge to sell you.

In another case of the vaccinated catching COVID, 17 people on the cruise ship Breakaway tested positive. Both passengers and crew were fully vaccinated. Likewise, the cruise ship Celebrity Millennium saw two passengers test positive for COVID last spring--again, everyone aboard was fully vaccinated. 

These aren't isolated incidents. Over 84,000 Hoosiers have had breakthrough cases, and those are just the ones we know about. There's no systematic testing of the general public here. Despite the state presenting the data to give the impression that these are rare, breakthrough cases have made up 18% to 36% of weekly cases over the past few months. This is based on past data from official dashboards. Indiana defines a breakthrough as "any individual testing positive for COVID-19 at least 14 days after their final dose (or single-dose) vaccination."

Clearly, vaccinations are doing little or nothing to stop spread. Yet the forced vaccination fanatics keep saying that ditching the mandates is going to kill people--as if firing people wholesale won't hurt anything, and as if people should not be free to make up their own minds.

An Objective Book about Other Childhood Vaccines

Today's decision by the CDC to add COVID shots to the schedule of childhood vaccines has some people concerned about the rest of the vaccines on the schedule. Contrary to fact-checker claims, adding COVID shots to the schedule means children will be required in about a dozen states to get a COVID shot to attend public school. Indiana isn't one of them--our childhood vaccination law doesn't mention the CDC and such a requirement could run afoul of our ban on COVID vaccine passports. But even freewheeling Indiana has some vaccine requirements and this kerfuffle has people wondering how safe those vaccines are.  There's a book called Vaccines: Truth, Lies and Controversy  by Peter C. Gotzsche, DrMedSci and co-founder of the Cochrane Collaboration, about the safety and efficacy of all those vaccines, including COVID and others. Cochrane was founded to "to organise medical research findings to facilitate evidence-based choices about health interventions involving healt

Battered Cod and my Eclipse Pictures of my Colander

If you miss battered cod on a low-carb, grain-free diet, here's a recipe that'll satisfy your craving. It's based on a Dr. Davis recipe. Battered cod and cole slaw Ingredients 1 pound cod fillets 2 eggs 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1/2 cup ground golden flaxseeds 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon garlic powder Instructions Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the cod into 1-1/2 to 2 inch pieces. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and butter. Beat continuously--don't let the butter cook the eggs. In a shallow bowl, combine the flaxseeds, cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat each piece of cod in the egg mixture and then roll in the in the flaxseed mixture. Place on the baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes, turning once. Eclipse Crescent Shadows Today was the total solar eclipse, and my house was in the "path of totality."

Eclipse Glasses, Probiotics for Heart, Muscle Recovery

Are your eclipse glasses fake? The total solar eclipse over North America is almost here, and Indianapolis is in the "path of totality," meaning the moon will completely block the sun here. A lot of people have gotten special glasses to safely look at the eclipse. But the American Astronomical Society says , "counterfeit and fake eclipse glasses are polluting the marketplace." Some of the counterfeit glasses appear to be safe, the society says, but others are fakes that are no more effective than sunglasses. One of the counterfeits they describe matches the glasses someone gave me. I don't know where she got them, and she's not someone I'd trust to perform adequate due diligence. I just got over an eye injury and I don't need another one--I'll try the pinhole method instead to see crescents during the eclipse if it's not too cloudy.

Diabetes Down, COVID Curiosities, New Glasses after Accident

Diabetes Down Despite Dietitians' Directions Last Sunday when I wrote about the grifters over at EatThis.com, which calls itself "Eat This, Not That," I was worked up enough to tweet to their medical expert board members if they stood by the site's article flogging sugary drinks and fast food for St. Patrick's Day. The site has over 1,300 articles, mostly puff pieces, on McDonald's and a news feed full of "the most important breaking news" on Doritos, burger joints and Chips Ahoy! I asked a dietitian who responded to me what exactly the "not that" part was in "Eat This, Not That." Important news about what you should eat! I was worked up until I remembered the saying, "You can't cheat an honest man." Meaning that this con, like a lot of others, requires some dishonesty on the part of the mark. Every Joe Six-Pack knows that cookies, chips and coffee-flavored milkshakes from Starbucks aren't health food. It takes s

Blog Lineup Change

Bye-bye, Fathead. I've enjoyed the blog, but can't endorse the high-fat, high-carb Perfect Health Diet that somehow makes so much sense to some otherwise bright people. An astrophysicist makes some rookie mistakes on a LC diet, misdiagnoses them, makes up "glucose deficiency," and creates a diet that's been shown in intervention studies to increase small LDL, which can lead to heart disease. A computer programmer believes in the diet and doesn't seem eager to refute it because, perhaps, scientists are freakin' liars and while he's good at spotting logical inconsistencies, lacks some intermediate knowledge of human biology. To Tom's credit, he says it's not the right diet for everyone, but given the truckload of food that has to be prepared and eaten, impracticality of following it while traveling (or even not traveling), and unsuitability for FODMAPs sufferers, diabetics and anyone prone to heart disease (i.e., much of the population), I'm
