Pain, Pain, Go Away!

Alleged Faking and Frenzy on Pfizer Study A Pfizer researcher has blown the whistle on the sloppy, helter-skelter practices at a contractor called Ventavia during the COVID vaccine trial. The British Medical Journal reports  regional director Brook Jackson's revelations: Falsifying data Employing inadequately trained vaccinators Delay in following up on adverse events Overwhelmed staff Possible unblinding of participants Jackson reported the problems to the FDA, who never investigated them. Jackson was fired.  Vendors Lied: Volunteers Wrecked Meantime, researchers "did everything in their power to hide what happened" to Maddie de Garay, a trial participant. At age 12, Maddie participated in the Pfizer trial and received two doses of the vaccine. According to Maddie's mother, Stephanie de Garay, Trials have participants use an app to report specific adverse reactions, but the app doesn't have a way to report other reactions. Other reactions are reported to the stud

"We trusted the science!" This is what I keep hearing when I watch videos made by vaccine victims' next of kin. I cringe every time. I have nothing but sympathy for little Maddie, now in a wheelchair after participating in one of the trials , and others like her . But science is a process , not a corporation, not a government committee, and not a product. It's done best dispassionately and without perverse incentives--not in the middle of a major panic. You need data to have science you can trust, and the data simply weren't there. Getting an experimental injection has no more to do with trusting the science than smoking on the advice of your doctor to lose weight or calm your nerves did back in the 50s.  Ah, but the vaccines were tested! In fact, they're still in the middle of phase 3 trials, which aren't scheduled to end for another two years. Pfizer's trial was unblinded at six months--meaning there's no longer a control group  that hasn't

As American readers know, our Uniter-in-Chief announced a vaccine mandate for companies employing over 100 people. The rule has been drafted by OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and is now in review. It is expected to take effect in December--or to put it more plainly, millions of employees are supposed to be fired right before Christmas for the offense of being unvaccinated. Is this really going to happen?  The day after the announcement, I talked to my boss, who's one of the owners where I work. He's a certified public accountant who advises businesses on compliance. He predicted lots of lawsuits and workarounds; I didn't get the sense there were any plans to fire unvaccinated employees.  We've seen employers who've already issued mandates and claimed only 1% or so of their workforce left. But given the shortages, shutdowns, delays, rising prices, and rapidly rising wages for certain types of jobs, a 1% difference in the workforce beggars be

You wouldn't know it by looking at mainstream media, but millions of people around the world are protesting vaccine mandates, courageously facing water cannons, rubber bullets and beatings. In some countries, vaccine passports are required to go to your workplace; elsewhere, citizens have to send the government a selfie within minutes to show where they are. Proof of prior infection isn't accepted. Unvaccinated Australians are going to face steep fines simply for being unvaccinated.

Protests here don't accomplish anything--unless it's your union picketing and shutting down business. Several years ago, a movement called Occupy Wall Street camped out for months in cities around the country--they even camped out through the winter in Civic Center Park in Denver. They accomplished

If you got my last post by email, the link to Dr. Suneel Dhand's banned video didn't show up. Apparently, the email feed I use doesn't recognize videos unless they're on YouTube.  You can see Dr. Dhand's video at the link below--it's hosted on Odysee. https://odysee.com/@DrSuneelDhand:4/news-75-covid-cases-are-in-vaccinated:c

There's an idea going around that cancel culture isn't real, and the only people being "cancelled" are racists and alt-right types and conspiracy theorists. How do you know this is correct? Why, their opponents and the media outlets that deplatformed them tell you so! It's circular logic.   Likewise, people looking down their noses at "Dr. Google" and their warnings--"don't get medical advice on social media!" Consider the source, though: doctors and media companies, both of whom (in many cases) take money from pharma. There's no conspiracy theory here; rather, it's realizing that trying to cure yourself by listening to people selling medications meant to be taken indefinitely is worse than asking a barber if you need a haircut.  Some doctors promoting effective lifestyle changes--not quackery--have been deplatformed. Dr. William Davis, the Wheat Belly author, has said in online meetups that TV shows no longer have him on as a gue

Maybe you've heard of doomsday cults: religious sects with charismatic leaders who predict the world will end by a certain date. Doomsday comes--but by some miracle, the world doesn't end. Neither does the cult--many members go on being members.  So it is with coronabros. We were all supposed to die of COVID (well, a bunch of us, anyway). Now that apostates have kept on living, left the cult and refuse to take the holy water, some of the cultists are coming unglued.  Southwest Airlines cancelled over 1,000 flights over the weekend. The word over at Unreported Truths is that there's a pilot sick-out over vaccine mandates, and pilots from other airlines are ready to join them. Some blue checky-check on Twitter called the sick-out "domestic terrorism." Silence is violence, and apparently so is not showing up for work. Other cultists want the president to fire them, apparently not realizing that Southwest Airlines is a private employer, nor that firing pilots wouldn
