In a piece in the Guardian this weekend headed "Where's the herd immunity? Our research shows why Covid is still wreaking havoc", Danny Altmann, Professor of Immunology at Imperial College London, writes that "contrary to the myth that we are sliding into a comfortable evolutionary relationship with a common-cold-like, friendly virus, this is more like being trapped on a rollercoaster in a horror film". I will quote it at length so you get a full sense of the pessimistic vision he is setting out.

Did vaccines really save 500,000 lives in the UK?

Pfizer Covid-19 mRNA Vaccine
It would be fair to say that, over the last two years, Imperial College has not built a reputation for unimpeachable epidemiology. For those who've forgotten, the university is home to Professor Neil Ferguson - the scientist who, perhaps more than any other, convinced our leaders to impose lockdown.

The latest study to come out of Imperial College isn't the work of Neil Ferguson. But its conclusions have the just same ring of implausibility. Published in Lancet: Infectious Diseases, the study estimates that - from December 8th 2020 to December 8th 2021 - the vaccines averted 19 million deaths, including 500,000 in the U.K.

While both these figures are implausible, I want to focus on the latter - just because there are so many more unknowns when dealing with global-level Covid statistics.

Best of the Web: Anthony Fauci says that he's experienced rebound Covid symptoms after taking a Pfizer's antiviral Paxlovid - which studies now show is NOT effective for the vaccinated

Dr. Anthony Fauci confirmed on Tuesday that he is suffering from 'Covid rebound' symptoms after being treated with Paxlovid.

Paxlovid, a drug that was anointed as America's silver bullet against COVID-19 by some health officials and even President Joe Biden, may not have any effectiveness for people that are already vaccinated, according its manufacturer Pfizer's own data.

Fauci, 81, broke the news while speaking remotely at the Foreign Policy Global Health Forum.

Earlier this month, Fauci tested positive for the virus with mild symptoms including fatigue. As his symptoms got slightly worse, Fauci began a five day course of Paxlovid.

vegan married couple kills kid
A vegan Florida woman was found guilty of murdering her 18 month old son after she tried to feed him a diet of only raw fruit, vegetables, and some breast milk.

The New York Post reports that "Sheila O'Leary, 39, is facing life in prison after a jury convicted her Wednesday of murder and a string of child abuse charges over the 2019 death of her toddler, Ezra."

The child died on Sept., 27 2019 in Cape Coral, Florida and Sheila and her husband Ryan were charged with first-degree murder in December of that year. The pair were also charged with aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child, child abuse, and two counts of child neglect.

Comment: The vegan diet is one of the least healthy diets possible for human beings, especially children.

ONS data suggest vaccine effectiveness against death has been overestimated

I was recently involved in a fairly lively discussion with a group of acquaintances, just about all in their 40s. Most of them had recently had bouts of Covid of varying levels of severity, yet they all seemed to think they'd been lucky that they'd dodged a bullet and that without the protection of their multiple vaccines they wouldn't all be here to tell their tales. I thought their faith was misplaced and that their recoveries owed much more to their general health than any vaccination. The fact that the discussion occurred in a gym where they all regularly exercise their relatively healthy, lean bodies, made the whole conversation even more bizarre. I suspected they wouldn't be interested but for my own peace of mind I thought I'd go away and see if the data supported their view or mine.

However, finding real-world data on vaccine efficacy is increasingly difficult. In recent months the UKHSA, ONS and NHS have stopped releasing real-world data on Covid cases, hospitalisations and deaths by vaccination status. This makes it effectively impossible to see if claims for vaccine efficacy turn out to be substantiated.

In previous articles I've used data from UKHSA and ONS to question both the protection vaccines afford against infection and against death. However, the data I'd used in these pieces only covered a relatively short time period. I wanted to see if I could find data covering the impact of vaccines on 40-somethings right through the vaccination period.

What was the point? South Korea, poster child for containment strategy, now has same excess mortality as Sweden

Until recently, South Korea was the poster child for the 'contain and vaccinate' strategy, having kept infections to a minimum until completing its vaccine rollout.

In November of last year, former 'Zero Covid' proponent Devi Sridhar argued "It is never too late to learn lessons from countries such as South Korea, which pursued maximum suppression, and succeeded." And in a super-viral tweet, Vincent Rajkumar (a professor at the Mayo Clinic) proclaimed, "South Korea followed the textbook principles of epidemiology. Kept deaths 40 times lower all the way till 75% of population fully vaccinated. This is success."

All that was true until February of this year, when the country saw its first major outbreak. This outbreak, as I noted previously, led to a large spike in excess mortality; by March's end, the number of weekly deaths was almost 70% higher than normal.

Highly antibiotic-resistant MRSA in pigs 'can jump to humans'

Fears are growing over a strain of MRSA common among farm animals that scientists say is capable of "rapidly adapting to human hosts".

The World Health Organisation lists the superbug as one of the biggest global threats to human health due to its resistance to antibiotic medicines.

The feared strain, called CC398 is a growing cause of human MRSA infections and first emerged in livestock around 50 years ago, most likely due to heavy and widespread use of antibiotics in pig farming.

The White House is set to hand out nearly 2 million monkeypox vaccines in the coming months, beginning with an initial phase of around 300,000 doses as part of a new national strategy against the potentially dangerous virus.

The White House announced the strategy on Tuesday, noting that 56,000 vaccine doses would be allocated immediately, followed by 240,000 additional shots "over the coming weeks." Another 1.6 million doses will be made available later this year.

"The vaccine strategy will help immediately address the spread of the virus by providing vaccines across the country to individuals at high risk," the White House said, adding that the first leg of the plan "aims to rapidly deploy vaccines in the most affected communities and mitigate the spread of the disease."

SOTT Focus: Objective:Health: What is a Woman? Documentary Review

O:H header
Wikipedia says "A woman is an adult female human." So if even a propaganda outfit like them can get it right, why is it that Matt Walsh, in his new documentary 'What is a Woman?' have such trouble getting a straight answer out of people?

On today's episode of Objective:Health, we do an in-depth review of the documentary and talk about many of the contentious issues brought up in the film. At the center of the film is a look into the twisted ideology of transgenderism which is currently infecting the US and beyond. We look into the ideological brainwashing of children, who are being lead to make decisions about life-altering surgeries and hormone treatments, women and girls being forced to compete against biological men in athletics and the invasion of biological men into women-only spaces. We even go into the history of this ideology and the personality-disordered individuals who we can thank for it.

Join us on this episode of Objective:Health as we take a deep dive into the documentary 'What is a Woman?'


The dangers of this ideology are also well covered here and worth a watch too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcztAjqcwfo
