Data Dump from Canada exposes NATO's Yugoslavia war fairy tale.
Grayzone's Kit Klarenburg has a "must read" piece that smashes the western narrative on the '90s Yugoslav war. Lots of detail. Klarenburg is ramping up his work with Grayzone. impressive to say the least.
https://thegrayzone.com/2022/12/30/declassified-intelligence-files-bosnian-war/
"The Canadian soldiers were part of a wider UN Protection Force (UNPROFOR) dispatched to former Yugoslavia in 1992, in the vain hope tensions wouldn’t escalate to all-out-war, and an amicable settlement could be reached by all sides. They stayed until the bitter end, long past the point their mission was reduced to miserable, life-threatening failure."
"Throughout the conflict, the Bosnian mujahideen worked ceaselessly to escalate the violence. Muslims from all over the world flooded into the country beginning in the latter half of 1992, waging jihad against the Croats and Serbs. Many had already gained experience on the Afghan battlefield through the 1980’s and early 90’s after arriving from CIA and MI6-infiltrated fundamentalist groups in Britain and the US. For them, Yugoslavia was the next recruitment ground.
The Mujahideen frequently arrived on “black flights”, along with an endless flow of weapons in breach of the UN embargo. This started off as a joint Iranian and Turkish operation, with the financial backing of Saudi Arabia, although as the volume of weapons increased the US took over, flying the deadly cargo to an airport in Tuzla using fleets of C-130 Hercules aircraft."
The peacekeepers’ increasingly bleak analysis of the reality on the ground provides a candid perspective of the war’s history that has been largely concealed from the public. It is a story of CIA black ops, literally explosive provocations, illegal weapon shipments, imported jihadist fighters, potential false flags, and stage-managed atrocities. "

I got interested with the link to "Mehr News" which seems close to an official website of Islamic Republic of Iran.
It reminds me the famous last words of Goethe (the most renown German poet, from the Enlightenment period), "Mehr Licht", "more light", interpreted as "meaning “more illumination, more knowledge, more reality.” It could have a different meaning in Farsi (i.e. Persian).

I noticed the same. actual research has been done that shows covid does not cause ongoing heart issues whereas mRNA vax does. With the Thai research it found I think with the third booster, 17% of the 300 or so tested before and after showed measurable heart issues. Many of these were unfelt by the subject, but they are now all at risk of serious heart issues in the future. I think it was an Israeli study of before and after covid that showed the heart was unaffected.
I assume though that that covers mostly the not at risk group as serious covid illness has in some patients caused heart issues.
Even WHO are in on the game stating Covid numbers must be far higher than reported due to excess deaths. Just another corrupted UN peripheral organization now.

No. Goethe’s last words where « mehr nicht », which means « no more ». See Thomas Bernhard’s short story Goethe schtirbt (Goethe Dies). Here is a translation (it would have been better not to try to translate mehr Licht/mehr nicht):
One of Thomas Bernhard's most beautiful texts, along with Cutting Timber.

"The Mujahideen frequently arrived on “black flights”, along with an endless flow of weapons in breach of the UN embargo. This started off as a joint Iranian and Turkish operation, with the financial backing of Saudi Arabia ..."
from migueljose (3)
When I read "a joint Iranian and Turkish operation" then I knew it doesn't pass the smell test. Iran and Turkey may be working together, reluctantly even, in the Astana Peace Process (under Russian leadership), but supplying arms to the same takfiri "Jihad Joes" that Iran was having to deal with on their Afghan border is a stretch. The paragraph reads like part of a psy-ops to me.

The incorrect translation has been pointed out. Goethe isn't an "Enlightenment" figure. He is Romantic, sturm and drang, etc. "Faust" represents Goethe's major farewell to Enlightenment positions. "Young Werther" another leave taking.

Peter AU 1 @ 7:
The Thai study that you refer to - is that the one that used students from two or three high schools as the sample population? Your argument would be strengthened if you can confirm this.
N Hanrahan @ 11:
Thirty years ago when jihadis from Afghanistan were being flown to Bosnia-Herzegovina by the CIA and MI6, Iran and Turkey were very different countries from what they are now. In those days, Erdogan was a professional footballer, not yet contemplating moving into Istanbul politics, and Turkey was either still ruled by a military junta or returning to democracy. Iran had just come out of a long war with Iraq in a state of poverty.
There were corrupt politicians in Iran in those days, especially when Rafsanjani was President. The power balance between the Presidency, the Grand Ayatollah (Ali Khamenei was new to the job) and the council that approves presidential nominations may have been different too. We cannot say then that Iran would not have seen value in agreeing to work with the CIA and MI6 to transport jihadis from Afghanistan to Europe, especially as huge numbers of Afghan refugees were entering Iran and jihadis were likely travelling with them. If some sanctions relief had been promised to Iran as a result of cooperating, Iran would have been more eager to cooperate.

COVID-19 infection poses higher risk for myocarditis than vaccines
By American Heart Association News https://www.heart.org/en/news/2022/08/22/covid-19-infection-poses-higher-risk-for-myocarditis-than-vaccines
In the new study[ https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.059970 ], researchers analyzed records from England's National Immunization database for nearly 43 million people 13 or older who had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine between Dec. 1, 2020 and Dec. 15, 2021. More than 21 million had received three doses of the vaccine – the initial two-shot regimen plus a booster. Nearly 6 million tested positive for COVID-19 either before or after receiving a vaccine. During the one-year study period, 2,861 people – or 0.007% – were hospitalized or died with myocarditis.The analysis showed people infected with COVID-19 before receiving a vaccine were 11 times more at risk for developing myocarditis within 28 days of testing positive for the virus. But that risk was cut in half if a person was infected after receiving at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

2022 was the year of karmic boomerangs for the collective west and not least of these, geopolitical, economic, financial, cultural, social, is the total failure to protect the public’s health from Sarsacorona 2 infections, compounded and intensified by the no holds barred approach of cramming an experimental product down our throats.
To understand the ongoing situation and do something about it, add these two ingredients to your mind’s mixing bowl. (In two posts)
Part 1. What is at the root of our lack of informed consent on the mRNA vaccines? Here is one explanation:
In April of 2021 there was a World Health Organization consultation. Now, that's fancy bureaucratic talk for we all get together and figure out what we're gonna do. It was chaired by Margaret Liu of Merck, who was the person that was at the forefront of the team trying to get DNA vaccines developed back in the '90s and failed. But she was the chairperson, very much an industrial scientist. In this meeting that brought together all the regulatory agencies from all over the world, it was decided to circumvent normal preclinical and clinical testing based on this shared core platform concept. That's why I wanted you to understand what the platform was as opposed to the payload.So there was a conference at WHO in which all the Western regulatory agencies got together and China, and they all agreed that we're gonna treat this as a platform technology, and we're going to push it through with very limited testing. And then once we've done that, new products can be rapidly developed by grandfathering in that old inadequate data package. Now, I'm not saying this as a conspiracy theory. It's published. And we are now seeing that being deployed. The only new data that will be required for these new vaccine and mRNA based therapeutic products is going to be that associated with the payload. So they're gonna assume that the platform is safe now because it's been deployed in billions of people. That's another reason why they have to deny all the adverse events 'cause the whole logic collapses otherwise.
The FDA position, and we've now seen this deployed, thank you for five minutes... We've now seen this deployed with the new boosters. The FDA position is that changes in the mRNA sequence for similar payloads do not require substantial non-clinical or clinical data. What that means is what we've seen. They went to manufacturing, sales, and deployment of these new vaccines with virtually no real testing. To the extent that they did any testing in mice what they found was that it didn't in any way interfere with infection of those mice by the pathogen. It didn't work in the mice. It doesn't matter. They've all agreed that this is the new rules.
So now, we have over 100 clinical trials for mRNA vaccines, 51 of which are currently enrolling, the rest are about to start enrolling in the United States, and they're all grandfathered based on what they assert is the clear evidence that there is no safety risks associated with this technology because it's been deployed in billions of people in the United States and worldwide.
In addition, there's over 200 clinical trials for mRNA based drugs based on this same logic. This all grandfathers in a technology platform, ignores that what's being delivered is not natural RNA. And what it creates is a situation. This is how things work in regulatory space. There's only two companies right now that have those approved data packages. And what that means is that these two companies now have a monopoly on any new drugs, or vaccines developed and deployed with this technology. Because anybody else that's gonna try to come in with their own version of it is gonna have to go through all of that other testing and demonstrate that their stuff is at least as safe and effective as the stuff that's been deployed on all of us. So what the FDA has done is granted a monopoly in perpetuity to Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna..”
*****
“It's not allowed to be discussed [panoply is issues concerning safety and efficacy y] because of the potential impact on the deployment of this product, which they believe that the ends justify the means...
[A]t the fundamental level, there's a belief that this technology is so important that we have to push it through the entire population. And we have to get people to accept it. And so, that's so important that they believe that they were justified in deploying the largest propaganda effort the world has ever seen...
It was over a billion dollars spent by the CDC, okay? And it's still ongoing. What that results in is that people cannot have informed consent.

Part 2. Geert Vander Bossche’s view on the situation in the vaccinated countries, this is from Oct 2022, a truncated version:
Hello everyone. My name is Geert Vanden Bossche. I'm a seasoned vaccinologist with background in veterinary medicine, in biology, immunology, microbial diseases. I have been sending out video messages before and this is probably the last one I'm going to do. I will still write articles, I will still do interviews. But this is my last video message. And the reason why I'm sending out this video message is because I can no longer stand it. For me, it has become unbearable to see how our health authorities, our experts and governments are still trying to make people believe that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and that they will be able to control the pandemic. In this presentation I made a few PowerPoint slides. I will show you that, as I have already been saying in the past, this is an unbelievable blunder. It is an insult to the science...we are already too late to intervene in a way that could prevent humanitarian crisis. It is really my last and desperate call for action as Omicron is now causing a fast and large-scale immune escape in vaccines. So, this is simply accelerating. Immune escape is accelerating...
given the fact that we are on the brink of a humanitarian crisis, and you do all things by matter of surveillance and just to document and just to try to understand what happened without any predictive value, I think this is a complete nonsense. It is a waste of time. When humanity is on the brink of humanitarian crisis, we need to gather information that is able to predict with a high level of fidelity, with a high level of confidence what is going to happen...
none of these researchers dares to mention that this huge immune selection pressure that they're finding out about, and that has become more and more obvious as the vaccine coverage rates were growing, that this could be due maybe to the mass vaccination, and that the changes to the mutational landscape are now only escalating. All this is very, very clear to them. But nobody dares to mention that this huge immune selection pressure has to do with the mass vaccination. I cannot believe this...
none of these molecular epidemiologists or these variant watchers are really understanding the immunology that is now driving the fulminant expansion of these immune escape variants...
the effect of immune refocusing is that it expedites immune escape in vaccines...this will lead in fact to a situation where breakthrough infections are causing an increased proportion of poorly neutralizing to even non neutralizing antibodies. And that is the system that will expedite and accelerate immune escape as never seen before...
what will be the consequences now of this enhanced immune escape in vaccines, how will these consequences of this enhanced immune escape evolve?...
these are the non- neutralizing polyreactive antibodies that are so far still protecting vaccinees from severe disease, but they cannot protect them from disease, only from severe disease. They are putting tremendous pressure on viral virulence. And there is no doubt that the virus, as it has done all the time along, will also overcome yet another humoral immune pressure. For a virus this is just another humoral immune pressure as it has been seeing humoral immune pressures all along and has overcome them all along.
So if that happens, at that moment we will see that immune escape will cause what we call ‘antibody dependent – (because it's depending on those antibodies)- enhancement of severe disease’...
We not only need to avoid vaccine breakthrough disease. We would need to reduce the infection level to an extent that we can even avoid vaccine breakthrough infection...
So how can we do this? Of course, the infection rate can only be reduced via chemoprophylaxis with safe and effective antivirals that on top are broadly accessible and affordable. So, I don't care which antivirals but they need to comply with those criteria.And we know that there are only very, very few drugs that have these properties that are really safe, can do the job, are effective, broadly accessible and affordable. And I tell you, I think this will need to be done in a prophylactic way. We will need to do it right now in highly vaccinated countries and start providing people massively with antivirals. And the reason I'm saying this is that preventing these vaccine breakthrough infections is almost like generating herd immunity. If we can avoid these vaccine breakthrough infections we can start to build herd immunity.
And please remember: the only way, the only way to control and terminate a pandemic is by generating herd immunity. So then, how long would we need to give these antivirals? Forever? No, we would not do this because that would also have a risk of, for example, inducing (drug) resistance. We would need to do this till we have achieved full herd immunity....So, we have a choice.
Really? Yes, we have a choice. Please remember only herd immunity can terminate the pandemic. So, you have the choice. You can either reduce this transmission by enhancing the virulence in the vaccinees, what the virus tends to do... The only alternative is to provide these people with antivirals, antiviral chemoprophylaxis.
The virus, if there is no herd immunity, can do whatever it wants and will overcome the kind of ridiculous immune pressure that we are trying to put on it...
It will escape. And the winning party is not going to be the technocrats, it's not, let's say, the megalomania of mankind, but it's simply the biology. And these experts, these scientists have forgotten about biology. They are blinded ....And that is also why I'm saying, with regard to the COVID-19 battle, the country or the continent that will win is Africa. Because they will build herd immunity....

COVID-19 infection poses higher risk for myocarditis than vaccines...COVID-19 infection poses higher risk for myocarditis than vaccines
Perhaps you want to read the article again, because that is not what this attempt to whitewash the inoculation (not a vaccine) says.
There is no control sample, people who got infected but did not get the inoculation and people who got neither covid nor inoculation.
Nor is Myocarditis the only problem, see: Died Suddenly

Laurence @ 14
"If a person was infected after receiving at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine."
What does that even mean? A vaccine is something that gives sterilising immunity. How does a person with sterilising immunity get infected?
Prior to' vaccine' rollout the number of 13 year olds developing myocarditis was so tiny stats were absent or did not mean much. Now we see newborns with myocarditis.
Bigger question. Why on this site of all places, where analysing propganda is one of the mainstays do so many continue to believe whatever the government tells them if it concerns health. Do you think there is a government anywhere who cares about you? A government that tells truth?

This is hearsay. I can't specify the name or even my exact connection because M.D.s are living under an Inquisition. An internist/general practitioner of my acquaintance will soon be leaving the practice of medicine. He is in his early 50s and much of his career would be ahead of him. He is playing cardiologist to a dozen children because the real cardiologists are utterly swamped. He had never seen childhood myocarditis before and now he sees every variety. Not to mention the neurological problems, the aggressive cancers, the reproductive mayhem. And no one talks about it. Entirely impossible to tell a patient what the doctor knows. Entirely impossible to be collegial with other doctors. Everyone walking around in fear.
Oh. My brother has myocarditis. This is not fucking abstract.

It seems there is a massive propaganda operation underway to swing mRNA issues onto covid. The 80% of the population that are brain dead - the sheeple will believe it.
All who have been injected with the strands of code instructing their DNA to produce spike protein will now need injecting with a line of code to tell their DNA to stop producing it. If this is not done it will carry on through the generations. Playing god. This has to be the biggest crime of history. All so US big pharma can rake in hundreds of billions in profits.

I had the same thought except my trigger was Saudis funding Iranians. Either something is off w/ that paragraph or there were indeed some very strange circumstances/bedfellows in Yugoslavia.
P.S. Nobody I know who has had all the way up to 5 total mRNA shots has had any heart issues at all. One dude in his late 30s with 4 shots did a triathlon in the last couple of months. Don't get me wrong, I think my family is done with the mRNA stuff - and it's not a "vaccine" anyway since it's not even designed to prevent infection in the first place - but there's now a booming cottage industry of "skeptics" accompanying the booming actual industry of these "vaccine" patents.

That looks like sound logic, but also based on numerous speculations. If anything Iran hated the USA and CIA more then than they do now, not less, and I'd need to see names of corrupt Iranian politicians with the actual power to cooperate with the CIA and Saudis named. On the other hand I could see a situation where whatever was left of (closeted?) Shah loyalists and corrupt expats being willing to assist in the effort.

"... Why on this site of all places, where analysing propganda is one of the mainstays do so many continue to believe whatever the government tells them if it concerns health..." oldhippie@19
There is government propaganda. And then there is anti-socialist 'libertarian' propaganda, designed to save 'free enterprise' from the threat to its profits of socialised medicine while excusing neo-liberal dominated governments from taking the measures necessary to prevent deaths in a pandemic.
As to north American governments they are thoroughly corrupted by neo-liberal ethics which teach them that a few hundred thousand additional deaths, mainly among old (retired) people and those with restricted access to medical assistance, are no loss. That the fewer old people and pensioners there are the better for the capitalists. And that any precedents establishing medical 'entitlements' should be rolled back or resisted.
You ask Bigger question. Why on this site of all places, where analysing propganda is one of the mainstays do so many continue to believe whatever the government tells them if it concerns health. Do you think there is a government anywhere who cares about you? A government that tells truth?
You ask " Do you think there is a government anywhere who cares about you?"
Not in a country where the capitalist class is absolutely dominant and the demands of the people can be ignored. But that is not the case everywhere: there are countries where mass pressure from below can force governments to make changes. That was a lesson reinforced by those who followed the history of the pandemic.
In countries like the UK for example a neo-liberal government, inclined to allowing millions to die and "the bodies to pile up" rather than to take such obvious precautions as closing ports and testing travellers, was forced by the weight of opinion, albeit without having to deal with any political opposition, to go through the motions of responding to the real threat of an epidemic which has killed a million Americans already.
The enemy here is not 'government' but a ruling class with cannibalistic instincts and a capitalist system founded on them.

Not a criticism of, nor counterargument to, Jen but the comment got my brain ticking and wondering "Didn't I first hear of Erdogan maybe as far back as in the late 80ies?" so I had to check and I was wrong.
Wikipedia says he was mayor of Istanbul from 1994 to 1998. To me he was "always" AKP but that's clearly also a mistake since they were only founded in 2001 (and since late 2003 I doubt I would have noticed any of it) so I'm confusing AKP and RP (the RP logo on the relevant Wikipedia page rings a bell).
Having "kicked my memory bank" the gushing over him that I remember reading must have been from about 95 or so. He was popular in western Europe when he arrived, many including me thought he was good news (in some ways I was a very different person back then but maybe in the end he was/is good news?).
Anyway (and it might not make any difference) he's been around in Turkish politics for at least 28 years which is nearly 30 years.

Interesting the author is female yet ignored two basic salient facts. More females than males voted in midterms. Exit polls(sample 18K). Showed that overwhelmingly 68% of single women marked their ballots for Democratic politicians — a 37-point margin over the Republican Party.
The short and very predictable answer prior to the midterms of 2022. Women of childbearing" age in the USSA. Are very angry at GOP for canceling "Roe v. Wade". This had absolute zero to do with the virus.
The above average death rate in the over 50 age group. Is actually the result of the anti-vaxxer brigade active campaign of selling complete lies and total nonsense about vaccines in general.
This poor female author hardline supporter of the racist and bigoted GOP party. Is an atypical case of blaming the other guy rather than your own incompetence and anti female FRIENDLY policies.

"Playing god. This has to be the biggest crime of history. All so US big pharma can rake in hundreds of billions in profits."
I am feeling like a dinosaur watching the asteriod fall.
I suspect that it is not only for the money.
In the Jikkileaks "exposé" where they talk about four "Pfizer batches" of which two were responsible for most of the deaths reported, there was also a note that the Pfizer employees were given vaxx only from (8?) Batches that did not cause deaths.
Did someone know that certain doses could be mortal before they sent them out? Is this part of the reset? Is this deliberate?

I have noticed you saying this before, even one time incorrectly saying that Dr.John Campbell said this. He did not if my memory serves me well. Perhaps you can cite your evidence of incorporation of mRNA payload codons into cellular nuclear DNA?
Dr. Campbell clearly made the distinction between mRNA transcription in the ribosomes, which the EAU pharma intervention is designed to do, and DNA incorporation and replication of codons in the cell nucleus which can occur if reverse transcriptase is present and available. This is not the primary mechanism involved with the jabs. I have seen no evidence of this is happening although it is a scary talking point but who could get published or funded to ascertain if this is occurring.
There are many problematic issues with this new cutting edge technology, not the least of which old hippie and I had an interchange about at the very beginning of this thing. I raised the question, what happens if the message coding gets screwed up and codes for completely different proteins or fragments; and what about purity of product as there are so many ways to contaminate this industrial biological product.
Well, the release of those files in Australia showing impurities linked to deaths and worse shows we were prescient as were many many other people with standing, unlike us, and they were not listened to.
It doesn’t require anything more than understanding how the system of unmitigated profit (Washington Consensus) forces these outcomes, unlike a system where people, humanity, is put first (Beijing Consensus*).

Transcriptional reprogramming from innate immune functions to a pro-thrombotic signature by monocytes in COVID-19
Transcriptionally, COVID-19 monocytes are characterized by enrichment of pathways involved in hemostasis, immunothrombosis, platelet aggregation and other accessory pathways to platelet activation and clot formation.
...we examine the function of classical CD14+ monocytes in patients with mild and moderate COVID-19 during the acute phase of infection and in healthy individuals. Monocytes from COVID-19 patients display altered expression of cell surface receptors and a dysfunctional metabolic profile that distinguish them from healthy monocytes. Secondary pathogen sensing ex vivo leads to defects in pro-inflammatory cytokine and type-I IFN production in moderate COVID-19 cases, together with defects in glycolysis. COVID-19 monocytes switch their gene expression profile from canonical innate immune to pro-thrombotic signatures and are functionally pro-thrombotic, both at baseline and following ex vivo stimulation with SARS-CoV-2. Transcriptionally, COVID-19 monocytes are characterized by enrichment of pathways involved in hemostasis, immunothrombosis, platelet aggregation and other accessory pathways to platelet activation and clot formation.

All the best for the new year to b and all the bar goers. After receiving a death message today of a good friend by an heart attack, I can’t handle the link about Covid calmly. Let’s forgive B his stubborn one sided perspective on this one issue. This whole Covid/vax complex actually falls in three dimensions. 1st: is Covid really dangerous for public health? It kills mostly people in the years of average life expectation and with an IFR around 0,1 percent. 2nd: Is the vax effective against the disease? In Germany today dies the same amount of people of this like one year ago. 3rd: does the treatment cause side effects? Nobody denies this anymore. Only question is, how does it outweigh each other. This is a purely statistic miracle. And what is statistic other than politics. I am deeply convinced, this complex will lead to a second Nürnberg Trial. BTW only after that the western bloc will be able to achieve a sane assessment about the new multipolar world order. Booth complexes are political and have their origins from the same source. For the rest, thank you very much dear B.

'cept there was nothing else available in Canada. Covid 19 was and still is a hell of lot more dangerous. My experience with Moderna (two and a booster) is nada.

I am not an anti vaxer. Vaccines like penicillin have save countless millions from death serious illness and maiming.
With all western governments pushing US big pharma DNA code that has destroyed the lives of unknown numbers, western governments can never again be trusted when it comes to health. Only after a revolution when we have government of the people and for the people if that ever occurs.
What we are seeing with covid is political medicine vs by gone days of scientific medicine.
We have to distiguish between traditional vaccine that have helped countless millions and US big pharma computer code that is destroying lives.

It was so well-written it was selected as a featured article and translated into other languages, including English, Arabic, and Russian, spreading the damage to other language editions of Wikipedia.

@ all do make the distinction between traditional vaccines and US big pharma computer code. Traditional vaccines have a great deal of benefit vs a small amount of risk. US big pharma injections have a high amount of risk vs a small if any amount of benefit. All medic all interventions be it old time herbal or modern scientific have risk vs benefit. Until recently scientific medicine was a matter of determining a specific pathogen and the specific chemical compound in what could be termed herbal medicine that countered that pathogen.

Is China falling apart because their oppressie govt cannot deal with Covid?
This has been the latest spin in the info war against China, that zero covid setup a deadlier outbreak now and repealing zero covid is also a sign of weakness (quite the contradiction).
Anyway, on my twitter account here is a link comparive Covid cases to Covid deaths.
https://twitter.com/chrischuba/status/1609400301739511809
The number of deaths have declined even with record breaking number of cases.
This makes sense because almost all of China is vaccinated.

I repeat, the mRNA codes in the jabs do not enter the cell nucleus where DNA resides. It does not integrate into germ DNA.
The mRNA enters the ribosomes which are the protein factories of cells.
Potentially, if the enzyme reverse transcriptase were available, what you say could occur but there has been no evidence of this.
That the mass mRNA vaxx pharma intervention does not stop transmission is the major problem (and crime) because repeat infections due to viral escape evolution (forced by vaxx configurations) and immunity imprinting (where one’s vax-trained immune system is responding with outdated responses to viral epitopes) results in a dysregulated immune system where people have less capacity to fight off disease for up to 1 year or more after repeat infection. This holds for fighting off invaders like bacteria, viruses, fungi and more, not just SC2.

Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of COVID-19
“We show that, beyond the first 30 d after infection, individuals with COVID-19 are at increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease spanning several categories, including cerebrovascular disorders, dysrhythmias, ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease, pericarditis, myocarditis, heart failure and thromboembolic disease. These risks and burdens were evident even among individuals who were not hospitalized during the acute phase of the infection and increased in a graded fashion according to the care setting during the acute phase (non-hospitalized, hospitalized and admitted to intensive care). Our results provide evidence that the risk and 1-year burden of cardiovascular disease in survivors of acute COVID-19 are substantial. “

How interesting.
"Flu vaccine is produced by private manufacturers, so supply depends on manufacturers. Vaccine manufacturers have projected that they will supply the United States with as many as 173.5 million to 183.5 million doses of influenza vaccines for the 2022-2023 season. These projections may change as the season progresses. All flu vaccines for the 2022-2023 season will be quadrivalent (four components). Most will be thimerosal-free or thimerosal-reduced vaccine (93%), and about 20% of flu vaccines will be egg-free." (Source Center of Disease Control USSA)
To be honest, far more than you think. Range factor 52% to 56% of the legally registered population. A flu jab is also issued to all cancer patients inpatients, outpatients, and survivors. So we are looking at basically 1 in 2 USSA citizens getting the seasonal flu jab.
The virulent seasonal Influenza virus does not offer herd immunity mythical pipe dreams on offer by the sellers of doubt!
The Flu jab does not offer one hundred percent total immunity. All of this is fully explained at the time of the inoculation by a trained medical professional.

Given that Nature is a mouthpiece for the science establishment (which seeks to stifle what it considers to be COVID "disinformation"), I wouldn't rule out the possibility that this "finding" is intended to divert blame away from the "vaccines."

"..immunity imprinting (where one’s vax-trained immune system is responding with outdated responses to viral epitopes).."
Is there any difference between double mRNA vaxxed and boosted in this regard? I had 2 Pfizer shots when the Delta strain arrived and my country's govt abandoned the Chinese model in favour of vaxx mandates. My father had just had a heart attack (~6 months after vaccination and family history so probably unrelated) and at that stage Pfizer was giving protection against infection of ~40% down to ~10% over the first 3 months so I thought it was worth the risk to get some protection against transmission while my father was recovering (he's fine now).
Omicron arrived a month or so after my 2nd shot so that was the end of any meager protection against infection I might have had. I never bothered with any boosters in the hope that it would minimise "immune imprinting" and give me a longer period of protection after infection. Is there any chance of that or am I just as screwed as those with 3-4-5 shots?

I have only scanned this thread and not intelligently read it yet, but the meta picture is encouraging, to see so many comments finally able to distribute information on the deaths from the mRNA therapy.
Interesting too to note the deliberate conflating of Covid-19 with the sudden death phenomenon, rather than the jab - I saw that in b's linked article but hadn't seen its wider deployment yet - thanks for the info.
Interesting also to see the one-note troll at work accelerating this conflated lie in hopes of getting it to go "halfway round the world before the truth can get its shoes on."
Interesting as a side note to this how trolls are so readable on other topics but when their trigger topic comes up they launch into war mode. "Activate the asset."

I can't believe I'm the most prolific commenter here on the matter of the jab, and certainly not on the virus itself. Maybe I'm just one of the few left standing after b banned the best sources of information? It's a theory to examine, nothing more - after all, that's how science, and journalism both work.
For the record, I'm not anti-vax, as we commonly see that term used. I'm just pro informed consent - very much so that.

In this study, we used the US Department of Veterans Affairs national healthcare databases to build a cohort of 153,760 US veterans who survived the first 30 d of COVID-19 and two control groups: a contemporary cohort consisting of 5,637,647 users of the US Veterans Health Administration (VHA) system with no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and a historical cohort (pre-dating the COVID-19 pandemic) consisting of 5,859,411 non-COVID-19-infected VHA users during 2017.
These cohorts were followed longitudinally to estimate the risks and 12-month burdens of pre-specified incident cardiovascular outcomes in the overall cohort and according to care setting of the acute infection (non-hospitalized, hospitalized and admitted to intensive care).

According to the doctors at Sen. Ron Johnson's third roundtable focusing on the vaccines the answer is you're better off with fewest as possible. Those with less will fair better than those with more. What's ridiculous are the vaccines are only meant to stop covid 19, but that virus died off between a year and a year and a half ago. Viruses like anything else have a shelf life and for them that's historically been around two years. It's various variants are still around, but the one they're jabbing for is history.
Look for the video Sen. Ron Johnson hosts expert forum on covid vaccines. However, right below that video, at least on my screen is aluminum expert uneaths likely cause of Alzheimers, which is a compelling watch as well.

Netanyahu: "Despicable" UN Vote Has No Bearing On Israel
The opening quote
The United Nations General Assembly on Friday passed a resolution asking the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to evaluate the legality of Israel's “prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation of Palestinian territory.”In a video message, Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu was quick to condemn the UN vote as a "despicable decision" that has no bearing on Israel -- a government that sprang into existence in 1948 in the wake of a UN General Assembly recommendation to partition Palestine.
"The Jewish people are not occupiers in their own land nor occupiers in our eternal capital Jerusalem and no UN resolution can distort that historical truth," said Netanyahu.
I think that 2023 will also see some significant change to the Occupied Palestine situation and its about time, IMO

More about the nature of virus, but this specifically concerning covid.
From which an excerpt:
The official CDC document, (dated July 21, 2021) entitled “CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel reads as follows:Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed [January 2020] and this study conducted, assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of known titer (RNA copies/µL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen. (emphasis added, page 40)
Compare the above statement to the CDC January 28th, 2020 advisory confirming the isolation of SARS-CoV-2:
On January 20, 2020, CDC received a clinical specimen collected from the first reported U.S. patient infected with SARS-CoV-2. CDC immediately placed the specimen into cell culture to grow a sufficient amount of virus for study.
***
See the analysis of CDC responses in the section below on Freedom of Information Requests initiated by Christine Massey.
The World Health Organization (WHO) Did Not Undertake The Isolation / Purification of a Specimen
From the documents quoted below, the Chinese authorities did not provide the WHO with a specimen of isolated / purified SARS-CoV-2.
The covid business is like just about everything else these days: determining the truth is well nigh impossible. There are credible, substantively differing views up, down, left, right and center. For example: is it a bioweapon? Mistakenly released? The vaxes help? The vaxes hurt? Rising death rates are due to covid? Rising death rates are due to mRNA tech? Lockdowns are the only viable way to protect against this deadly bioweapon? Lockdowns are a tool of the 'Reset' types conditioning governments and populations to seque from rights-based sovereign nation states models to more up to date totalitarian techno-fascist models?
And so on.
But again as with the material in the article cited above: if you drill down to the details with sharp focus, everything gets more fuzzy. This is true with studying corruption in politics: the more you research the more confusing it gets.
My conclusion is that this is because what is being studied is based in deception. It is by nature fictive. So when you drill down into it what you find is less and less substance and more and more uncertainty, insubstantiality, appeal to take things on faith or succomb to peer pressure, suspend disbelief, go along to get along.
Come to think of it, this parallels what happened to many physicists in the past century. The more they got into the particle level 'quantum' realm, the more they discovered that mind cannot be separated from matter and vice versa making the material world essentially a type of dream world. The deeper they went into matter the more they uncovered that materialism is a false belief not substantiated by science which further lacks the tools to examine anything non-material. They are hard-pressed to determine whether their enquiries engender deeper insight or profound confusion.
In short, there may be some truth to be found, but these days pretty much anything in the public domain information-wise is generally false and/or deliberately presented in such a way as to enhance collective confusion and ignorance. Therefore, it is not worth putting too much time or effort into because the deeper you go (into deception), the less there is of substance to find.

I have no expertise in these things, only understanding from reading.
Immune imprinting is occurring. It’s in the literature. That said, every person’s immune system has a unique history and health resilience. My understanding is the more priming, the more imprinting. Geert Vanden Bossche would say, I think, that you are better off than the others. Some would say, don’t worry, things work out when we are prepared.
One of my elder brothers is immune compromised. I have lost count of the # of his jabs. We don’t talk about it. He does nasal washing regularly to maintain his family and social life without getting sick, has done for years, long b4 covid. He probably could have skipped the jabs since his meticulous ablutions probably are 99% more effective at stopping covid infection than the jabs. The efficacy rates they give for Pfizer and Moderna jabs are relative, not absolute efficacy, making their product sound much more effective than they are.
My personal ‘choice’ as an elder was to get two doses of Pfizer mNRA, the only option available to me. I have not experienced covid that I am aware of so I have no natural immunity afaik. I wear KN95 mask when in indoor or close spaces.

Lies Kill, Facts Save Detecting COVID-19 Misinformation on Twitter
Online social networks (ONSs) such as Twitter have grown to be very useful tools for the dissemination of information. However, they have also become fertile ground for the spread of false information!
The spread of misinformation has grown to be a prevalent vice on the Internet over the years. The COVID-19 outbreak has yet again accentuated the risks that come with this growing issue. OSNs have, in particular, been adopted as a way to connect and keep tabs on the information pertaining to the pandemic. However, the spread of misinformation continues to be a major problem as the world continues to grapple with the latest pandemic.
In cases where one may encounter any sort of misinformation, then the best way to control the spread is by avoiding any sort of engagement. In this regard, users should refrain from commenting and sharing such content. This is the only way to stop their growth in popularity.
If any form of misinformation is shared on social media, then it is also good to report the content. In this case, if the information was shared privately, you can get in touch with the sender and inform them that content shared is likely misinformation. You can explain the risks associated with such content amidst such a global crisis.
One can also contribute to sharing credible content from reputable sources on the web. Use sites and platforms that are known to be credible in relaying information regarding COVID-19.
Users should try and cross-check the information they receive to ascertain credibility. They should check and verify the sources: ideally, they should source information from reputable digital platforms like the WHO and other channels.
(source IEEE ACESS DATED AUGUST 26TH, 2020.)
In 2022, 68% of the misinformation concerning SARS-COVID-19. Originated from just twelve people.
On one thread of MOA. We see through the lies, misinformation, and propaganda(Ghost of Kiev) concerning country 404.
Yet on the other hand? Interesting times indeed.

Laurence believes the government when they say 95+ million doses were injected into 39 million people, or 2.43 doses per person. All of the young people I know only got jabbed because their employer said they had to, then did not bother to follow up with the 2nd or a booster.
That data is contradicted by their own numbers where 80% have had 2 doses and only 20% have bothered with a booster.

“…can't believe I'm the most prolific commenter here on the matter of the jab, and certainly not on the virus itself.…
You could be the “last man standing”. Or just built of more persistence than me.
I know by now I often just can’t be bothered with a reply.
By now most are welded to their view, but the revelations re Wuhan I think worth highlighting ongoing.
Once we have full disclosure about gain of function research… who and why, we get IMHO to understand the virus itself AND the experimental gene therapy that was rolled out globally in cartoon-like short time to “solve” the problem.
The forced - whether by full legislative mandate - or by coercive pressure such as prohibiting nonvax from fully participating in society… - the forced “solution” didn’t “save lives”, as placing people with covid into aged care homes (and similar sinister actions) proved.
If it really was about “saving lives” rather than the global rollout of a mRNA medical intervention… then why ban other treatment that was known and is known to be effective. ?

How interesting."Flu vaccine is produced by private manufacturers, so supply depends on manufacturers. Vaccine manufacturers have projected that they will supply the United States with as many as 173.5 million to 183.5 million doses of influenza vaccines for the 2022-2023 season. These projections may change as the season progresses. All flu vaccines for the 2022-2023 season will be quadrivalent (four components). Most will be thimerosal-free or thimerosal-reduced vaccine (93%), and about 20% of flu vaccines will be egg-free." (Source Center of Disease Control USSA)
To be honest, far more than you think. Range factor 52% to 56% of the legally registered population. A flu jab is also issued to all cancer patients inpatients, outpatients, and survivors. So we are looking at basically 1 in 2 USSA citizens getting the seasonal flu jab.
The virulent seasonal Influenza virus does not offer herd immunity mythical pipe dreams on offer by the sellers of doubt!
The Flu jab does not offer one hundred percent total immunity. All of this is fully explained at the time of the inoculation by a trained medical professional.
Peter - Clearly I was being sarcastic when I said flu "vaccine" - they call it "the shot" everywhere I've ever been including Latin America where they are quite literal.
Bad Deal - See above. The difference btwn the flu shot and the COVID "vaccine" (other than the 'technology') is that the former is not marketed and mandated like a vaccine. It's a choice. And it's 40=70% effective. Can't even say that about the mRNA vax except in groups of people in very specific categories.
The rest of your rant about vaccine effectiveness is not even worth addressing.
