I get email every day explaining why the coronavirus vaccines are failing. bad cattitude is one of the most prolific and the best. His title today is "covid is becoming increasingly vaccine enabled." Subtitle: "each iteration of variant is posing greater infection risk to the vaccinated relative to the unvaxxed. is this becoming vaccine fixation syndrome?"
Overlook his affectation of writing in all lowercase, a trope he seems to have adopted from e e cummings and don marquis. He has a lot to say.
Anti-vaxxers quite often use the terms "vaccine enabled" or "original antigenic sin." What do they mean?
A vastly simplified explanation of the immune system is that it includes two components: innate (naïve) and adaptive (experienced). The naïve immune system doesn't know about specific diseases but is ready to tackle whatever comes along. The experienced immune system has antibodies that remember how it successfully fought off a bug in the past and are ready to respond in a heartbeat the next time that particular pathogen attacks again.
Vaccines load your body with antigens in an attempt to give your body artificial experience.
The scheme works well for viruses that don't mutate much, like smallpox and polio. However, influenza – coronaviruses – mutate all the time. The flu shot program calls for a new shot every year precisely because the disease is not the same from year to year. The pharmaceutical companies try to guess what the flavor of the month will be at the beginning of the next flu season and inject you with appropriate antibodies.
It doesn't work. They are substantially wrong every year, and as I have written twice lately the number of annual flu deaths seems to be pretty much unchanged from 1960. But that's beside the point.
They say that the military always prepares to fight the last war. Here's a Maginot line analogy. Observing how the Germans had attacked in World War I, the French built an impregnable line of concrete bunkers, barbed wire, trenches and other barriers along their German border. The remains I saw of the Maginot line in the 1970s were still formidable.
However, the sneaky Germans totally avoided the Maginot line. They skirted it by attacking through Luxembourg and Belgium.
The flu vaccines do something similar. They arm your body to the teeth for fighting one particular mutation of the coronavirus bug. You got Beta? We got you covered!
However, the coronavirus mutated into Delta, or worse, omicron, about which your body has no vaccine-induced memory. More than that, your naïve immune system does not rise to the occasion because it has been disabled, and seems to think you are protected by antibodies You disbanded the motorized infantrymen that might have defended you because they got in the way of your magnificent Maginot Line.
Which is why the double, triple, and four times jabbed seem to be more vulnerable to the new mutants than us the unvaccinated.
bad cattitude's explanation is a whole lot more scientific, though perhaps less droll. Anyhow, that's why you are still catching Covid despite being double, triple, and quadruple jabbed, and why you will still be catching it even you are duodecimally jabbed and Pfizer's share price goes to the moon.
Zinc, number 30 on the periodic table, is a single atom. As simple as any medicine could be. It hinders viral replication within a cell. Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, still pretty simple, facilitate splitting zinc oxide and getting the zinc ions through the cell walls where they can confront the viruses. Mutation, schmootation. The process is too unsophisticated to be fooled by mutational sleight-of-hand.
On the war front, let me recommend the Institute for the Study of War, which Bob Homans cited today, for some useful analysis. This Russian language Israeli site has balanced coverage and good videos.
On the subject of spooky, here is an actual advertisement for the Thales digital wallet, a device to manage your life and turn you into a total tool of the New World Order. If you find this offer anything other than chilling, I invite you to unsubscribe. This Substack is not for you.
That's the news from Lake WeBeGone, where the men are strong, the women are good looking, and the children above average.
Very well-written explanation of what is going on with the vaccinated. 👍 We are seeing it here, all around us. The vaccinated are not only getting sick; they are getting sickER.
I wonder if the people who made that Thales advert had any idea of how seriously creepy it is. Almost like a deliberate rubbing it in our faces.
