At 14 months Marianna is into everything. She shoves a plastic children's chair up to the dining room table, uses it to climb onto one of the tall dining room chairs, and from there up to the table. Last night as Zoriana and I were doing jigsaw puzzles Marianna showed up about six times. I patiently lifted her off and put her back on the floor, and she equally patiently repeated the cycle.
Zoriana, by the way, is a whiz at jigsaws. You may remember that I showed a video a couple years ago as she was first getting started. She now whips right through those designated for six and seven-year olds. She always tries to drag me into it as a matter getting my attention, but when circumstances force her she does them on her own. These are Disney type puzzles with cartoon, unicorn and princess themes between 160 and 270 pieces.
Anna went up in the attic yesterday to get a toy baby stroller for Marianna. She loves it. Last night I regretted not having my camera when she was running all over the house with two dolls in the stroller. However, as she repeated the performance this morning I was able to get it. Here she is. Neanderthal that I am, it pleases me that she is playing with dolls rather than, say, toy tanks or Monster High figurines.
Girls love cameras. Since I had it out, Zoriana insisted that I take a picture of her. I didn't quite have time to get a photo of her nicely petting Raccoon, the way a cat likes to be stroked. However, she did for a couple moments, before reverting to form. Here she is picking up a tolerant but unhappy Raccoon. The poor guy was minding his own business, waiting for breakfast, which was not forthcoming because Zoriana fed him the whole box yesterday.
And here's a picture of Zoriana holding Marianna in much the same way she holds raccoon. Marianna is never sure about the process. She sometimes smiles, because she likes the attention, but at other times she bawls loudly because it wasn't her idea whatsoever. Baby dolls may be placid and accept whatever treatment they get. Marianna is definitely not like that.
I'm continuing to work on my paper about what happens after the great depopulation. I'd like to share a couple of thoughts that have come to mind.
There is an imbalance in standards of evidence. The government has the whip hand. They can claim with authority that the vaccines are 94% 83% 68% 51% 33% effective and nobody bats an eye. They continue to claim they are safe no matter how many vaccine injuries are reported on their official sites. Therefore, in the words of the CDC, FDA, NIH and other official bodies they remain "safe and effective."
A much higher standard of evidence is demanded of critics. Whereas the government approved vaccines went through a quite brief trial process, one which included many well documented flaws such as unblinded research, vaccinating the control group to make comparisons impossible, and whistleblower reported fudging of data, critics are told that they must present rigorous double blinded, gold standard studies.
Critics are relentlessly ridiculed should they err. Even when they are right – such as about the laboratory origins of the virus, the many properly executed studies proving the effectiveness of іvermectіn, hydroxychloroquіne and quercetіn, and the conclusions drawn from the governments own data about the dangers of the injections. This has made top-tier critics such as Bret Weinstein, Steve Kirsch, Robert Malone, Judy Mikovits, Stephanie Seneff, Vernon Coleman, Peter and Ginger Breggin, and Alex Berenson reluctant to even talk about phenomena that are widely suspected but cannot be proven. They bit their collective tongues for a long time about the lab origin theory, the improbability of herd immunity and so on. Other contrary opinions they have held since the beginning, such as the uselessness of masks, social distancing and lockdowns, appear more and more to be true.
Thus many of the most interesting conjectures come from second tier analysts who have less to risk by being wrong. These are the people who are ridiculed as tinfoil hat nut cases. They are sometimes wrong, but they are often enough right that one should pay attention. These include the Infowаrs crowd (even I am reluctant to name names – it is dangerous!), Stew Peters and the like. It is worth repeating some of the many charges that have come from these quarters. Some will prove to be false. On the other hand, evidence continues to accumulate behind several of the others. This is a "stay tuned" situation. Here are some of the claims being reported:
The number of adverse reactions reported in the VAERS data varies wildly from lot to lot. If so, the composition of different lots must be different.
Photographs of VIPs being vaccinated may be fake. This is alleged about Justin Trudeau.
The injection may be saline solution. A Slovenian whistleblower showed that the supposed saline solution given to VIPs could be identified as such by lot number.
The vaccines include materials not included on the list of ingredients. Multiple independent researchers have corroborated claims of graphene oxide, stainless steel particles, and random organisms such as Hydra. Once again, these anomalies vary by lot number.
Magnets will stick to the shoulders of people on the arm that received the Pfizer and Madera shots.
These claims sound weird. I am not endorsing them, but I have my eyes open for future reporting on the subject.
There are vastly many weird aspects to the pandemic itself and the vaccines. There is no single theory that explains everything well, but depopulation is as plausible as any. China, Russia and the United States differ on this particular. China reversed its one child policy some time ago and is now actively encouraging childbearing. Russia likewise wants to increase its birth rate. Even if American billionaires have somehow been able to push through a biological agent that will reduce the population in the west, they do not have such control over China and Russia.
It raises the question of vaccine adverse reactions in those two countries. I searched on "Adverse reactions Sputnik" as well as Sinovac and Sinopharm. One can of course expect the two countries in question to carefully protect the reputation of their vaccines. Both have, however, been rolled out worldwide, so there should be some unbiased assessment.
The only complaint I find about Sputnik is that Russia has been slow in fulfilling its delivery commitments to Bolivia and other Latin American countries. There are reported deaths in Hong Kong associated with the Chinese vaccines, although the levels appear to be moderate. Of course, there is a vast cloud of uncertainty around the collection and analysis of any statistics in this regard.
Enquiring minds want to know. Meanwhile, I'm plowing ahead with my analysis of what kind of future my children can expect in a far less populous world a decade or two from now.
One of you wrote to ask about Lake WeBeGone. It's obviously a takeoff on Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion. It's an invitation to describe the geological history of our home on the left bank of the Desno River.
The Desno flows into the Dnieper here at Kyiv. The headwaters of both are about 300 miles north of here but only 500 feet greater elevation, at the Continental divide between the Black and Baltic Seas.
The left bank of the Dnieper is very low, dotted with lakes formed when meanders of the two rivers got cut off. That's the history of our named lakes: Russanovsky lake where I swim, 1/3 mile away and Rainbow Lake, 2/3 mile, where they are building the new metro.
The 300 x 200 foot lake across from our house had no name until now. It is owned by our homeowner's association. It is obviously shallow, though neighbors assure us they used to swim there. Frogs love it, people catch small fish. They fenced it in seven years ago, though to protect it from what has never been clear.
That's our lake WeBeGone, where the men are strong and smell of fish, the women are good looking and don't, and the children are the definition of what average was when I was a kid. In other words, way above average.
