Monday: COVID mRNA vaccine risks are being exposed

It has taken the re-election of Trump and the replacement of the heads of the US Health bureaucracy to open up the discussion on the COVID mRNA vaccine side effects.   The new management players, RFK Jr, Dr Bhattacharya and others have started to uncover the institutional malpractice in the management of the COVID pandemic. The period included coerced vaccination with a poorly tested vaccine, false statements as to its efficacy and safety, and misinformation as to the safety and efficacy of alternative treatments. The vaccine mandates were stopped a while ago, but recommendations for boosters are now being withdrawn.

Given this new open approach, Doctors are now willing to speak out.  I have come across a number of these but do not want to inundate you. Nevertheless here is one video exposing some of the issues with the COVID mRNA vaccines.

  

Wednesday: Net Zero destroys the economy

I penned a post on Net Zero just last week, and here I go again. Last week's post was centred on the futility of removing fossil fuels from modern society, given society's extensive dependence on the products of fossil fuels. This post focuses on the economic consequences of driving any economy towards Net Zero. I won't belabour the point as the video below provides the information in an easily digestible form. Indeed, it was a presentation by Paul Marshall at the ARC conference. While his focus is on the UK and the dramatic costs to its economy of the UK's commitment to Net Zero, the arguments apply equally to any country that has sacrificed low-cost energy via fossil fuels, or nuclear, for the so-called 'renewables, wind and solar. Invariably, the move from 24/7 baseload power to intermittent sources raises prices significantly, killing industries that rely on low-cost electricity. Many argue this is unnecessary, but electricity prices have invariably soared wherever the move towards renewables has progressed. 

This video titled "Europe's going bust over Net-Zero (and the rest of the world doesn't care)" is well worth the 15 minutes or so. 

Thursday: Pandemic Excess Mortality 2025

The news is not good. Yes, I would have reported it, if it were. Excess Mortality remains at unacceptable levels into 2025. 

Some may not have followed the story, so let me recap. All cause mortality rates, a parameter often used by Insurance actuaries, rose significantly during the years of the Pandemic. It was noted by insurance companies first, then by many interested in evaluating the impact of the pandemic. Excess mortality refers to rising mortality rates above the 'normal'. The normal is the average that prevailed before 2020, when the pandemic started. By the way, the mortality rate has been relatively stable over the years. 

An increase in mortality during a pandemic is expected, but it would have been expected to return to normal levels as the pandemic waned. Also, the increase in mortality would be expected to follow the peak infection rates and to wane as vaccination rates increase. However, neither of these occurred. The excess mortality that started in 2020/21 has remained high in all the following years. After excess deaths during the peak of the pandemic, one would expect excess deaths to become negative as the most vulnerable had already passed. But that has not happened. Excess deaths remain at pandemic levels long after the pandemic has passed. 

So why is this happening? The finger of blame is pointing at mRNA vaccines! I have posted on this a number of times in the past ( see here,  here, and here), so I shall not repeat it again. The evidence against mRNA vaccines is compelling.

Dr John Campbell's video below covers the recent update on excess deaths.

These statistical measures raise the nightmarish possibility that rolling out the mRNA vaccines has condemned billions of people on Earth to a shorter lifespan.  If this is so, we must hold to account all those who led us to this disaster.

Tapping fingers on the table .....tap, tap, tap.

Friday: How to Stop the West's Decline!

I came across this video this morning, again, due to YouTube roulette. I was served another dish of Konstantin, having devoured several of his pithy presentations in the past. Google's algorithm is quite successful, as it hit the spot again. The only issue I have is that there is no age filter, and YouTube often presents very old delicacies. 

This video is some five months old, but no matter, it is well worth it.

As always, Konstantin presents his incisive arguments with clarity and humour. His fundamental argument is irrefutable. 

 "The West isn’t just 'different'; it’s better (because) "in Australia there are precisely zero

people who get onto rickety boats every year to brave shark-infested waters in search of a better life elsewhere... the traffic is all one way in the opposite direction,  the same is true on the southern border of the United States, the same is true in the Mediterranean...."

The presentation is part of a Holberg Debate on "Is the West in decline?", another must-see.
