Experts say there is little need to fear a recent surge in cases as fewer than one in 3,000 infected people now dies from coronavirus – with the rate even lower for the vaccinated.
Death rates from Covid are lower than ever, according to analysis carried out for The Mail on Sunday.

Experts say there is little need to fear a recent surge in cases as fewer than one in 3,000 infected people now dies from coronavirus - with the rate even lower for the vaccinated.

The analysis of official data by Oxford University shows the 'infection fatality rate' has dropped about 30-fold since the pandemic began due to a combination of vaccine protection and naturally acquired infection.

Comment: Covid is dying, but they still want you vaccinated and afraid. Why else would an article like this tell us there's nothing to worry about followed by a list of things to worry about?

The risk of being hospitalised with heart inflammation is up to 44 times higher following Covid vaccination, a study in Nature has found.

The study, which examined the vaccination status of all 1,612 hospital cases of myocarditis and 1,613 hospital cases of pericarditis in France between May 12th and October 31st 2021, found that the risk of being hospitalised with myocarditis was 8.1 times higher in the week following a Pfizer second dose (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.7 to 9.9) and 30 times higher following a Moderna second dose (CI, 21 to 43).

Covid Vaccines and Fertility

Covid vaccination and monthly live births in Switzerland

Why is there a substantial decrease in births in Germany and Switzerland - nine months after the beginning of covid mass vaccinations?

Do covid vaccines influence male or female fertility?

An Israeli study recently published in the scientific journal Andrology seemed to have found a 15% decrease in sperm concentration three months after mRNA covid vaccination. The authors argued the decrease was temporary, but the data didn't actually show a recovery, just a wider confidence interval. However, the study was very small (just 37 participants), it had no control group (to exclude external effects), and several other studies found no such decrease in sperm concentration - some even found a supposed increase, highlighting the complexity of such measurements.

Thus, contrary to claims by some covid vaccine skeptics, the recent Israeli study didn't prove that covid mRNA vaccination reduces sperm concentration or quality. In fact, there is currently no strong evidence showing such an effect. On the other hand, a covid infection may temporarily impact sperm quality, but this is not unexpected after any infection or disease.

That being said, new birth data out of Germany and Switzerland raises some serious questions. Specifically, both countries recorded a consistent 10% to 15% decrease (compared to expectations) in monthly births from January to March/April 2022 (the latest available data) - that is, precisely nine months after the beginning of covid mass vaccination in the general population in April/May 2021 (see charts above and below).

NEJM paper falsely claims babies are at "high risk" from COVID-19 to justify vaccinating pregnant women

pregnant face mask vaccination
I subscribe to a publication called MedpageToday. This is an excellent way to follow what is going on in the mainstream medical discussion, not least to understand better what is wrong with it.

This week it published a piece on the benefits to infants from vaccination during pregnancy, reported in a study published in NEJM on June 22nd (with a linked editorial about how vaccination during pregnancy is "two for the price of one"). In the introduction, the study authors make the following claim: "Infants younger than six months of age are at high risk for complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)."

This came as a surprise, so I checked the source they cite in support of this statement. In short, the source tells us nothing about risk of hospitalisation from contracting COVID-19. All it tells us is the number of hospitalised infants over time per 100,000 in the population, which shows that early January this year, during a surge of Omicron infections, there was of course also a spike in infant hospitalisations; if we look at the general trends we see this in all age-groups. This has nothing to do with the hospitalisation risk of infection at all.

Best of the Web: Too weak to walk. 5-year-olds in nappies: The lost children of lockdown

We all know they suffered during Covid. But this landmark Mail investigation reveals it's only now that the true devastating toll is starting to show - and it's the poorest who are hardest hit

From the way she gently coaxes her little girl into smart new trainers, it's clear that Chloe is a caring mother. And as someone who wants the best for her children, she has concerns about the development of both Jordon, six, and Mia, four.

Waving an exercise book at me, the pages covered in squiggles, Chloe, 24, a single mother who lives on the outskirts of Norwich, explains: 'Jordon's teacher wants him to write a poem. But he's so far behind, he doesn't even know what a full stop is!'

Then she glances down at her daughter, crouched at her feet, arms wrapped around her mother's calves. 'My youngest is so clingy, I'm having to send her to reception with her dummy to keep her calm.'

Comment: This is typical of British state 'conservatism' - a cruel mix of accurately reporting social ills, but always leaving out the government's role in creating successive generations of autistic or otherwise damaged people. The lockdowns had an atrocious effect on current young generations, certainly, and it was a condensed form of what government has been causing for decades: dependence on government and thus lack of proper human development.

Some 44% of the planet's waterways contain high levels of pharmaceuticals, a new study claims.

A shocking 43.5% of the world's waterways are contaminated with drugs, according to a research team who published their findings on Wednesday in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry.

Led by the University of York's Alejandra Bouzas-Monroy, the researchers analyzed 1,052 samples across 104 countries and found 23 separate pharmaceutical compounds at levels exceeding those considered "safe." These included antidepressants, antihistamines, benzodiazepines, painkillers, and stimulants.

The number of reported probable cases of severe acute hepatitis of unknown origin in children has more than tripled in a month, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a statement on Friday.

The number of cases has risen to 920 worldwide, up from 270 in the organization's previous report late last month.

The actual number may be even higher, the WHO said.

The outbreak was initially detected in early April when Britain reported ten cases of mysterious hepatitis in previously healthy children under the age of 10.

Comment: There's no mystery here. Unusual cases of hepatitis correlated with recent Covid vaccination have been noted for a while.

'Polio Outbreak' - The WHO, Bill Gates, emergency vaccines & more of the same

Polio Vaccine

Polio is on the front pages of British newspapers again for the first time in decades. What a time to be alive.

For those who missed it, two days ago the UK government declared a "national incident" after traces of the polio virus were detected in sewage from North London.

Yes, a "national incident"...for traces...found in sewage.

This is a massive escalation, even compared to the pandemic. Covid and Monkeypox at least had the good taste to wait for a single person to actually have the disease (allegedly) before hitting the big red panic button.

In a somewhat startling coincidence, just two days before the "polio in London" news broke, Forbes published an article headlined...
There May Be A New Polio Epidemic On Its Way- If So, What We Can Do
It's totally unrelated, talking about a "polio-like" enterovirus that hasn't yet had a vaccine approved in the US, and never mentions London once.

The same (or similar) news hitting headlines around the world for (supposedly) totally different reasons makes my inner-cynic twitch.

So, what's going on here?

While it may look like polio is suddenly back in the news, it's actually been there longer than you'd think and has been building to this point.

The truth is it all fits into a very predictable pattern.

Vaccinate harder comrade! Omicron subvariants to lead to surges of infections in highly vaccinated populations, studies suggest

Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 appear to escape antibody responses among both people who had previous Covid-19 infection and those who have been fully vaccinated and boosted, according to new data from researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, of Harvard Medical School.

However, Covid-19 vaccination is still expected to provide substantial protection against severe disease, and vaccine makers are working on updated shots that might elicit a stronger immune response against the variants.

The levels of neutralizing antibodies that a previous infection or vaccinations elicit are several times lower against the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants compared with the original coronavirus, according to the new research published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday.

"We observed 3-fold reductions of neutralizing antibody titers induced by vaccination and infection against BA4 and BA5 compared with BA1 and BA2, which are already substantially lower than the original COVID-19 variants," Dr. Dan Barouch, an author of the paper and director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, wrote in an email to CNN.

Comment: At this point it is pretty apparent that efforts to vaccinate the world are just creating more covid variants, extending the situation that they are supposedly trying to contain.

Peter Doshi and colleagues' heroic attempt at re-analysis of the Phase 3 trials.

There has been a bit of a stir lately concerning the posting at the beginning of this month of a pre-print (not yet peer reviewed) article entitled "Serious Adverse Events of Special Interest Following mRNA Vaccination in Randomized Trials".

Words like "bombshell study" have been used to describe the findings. That sounds pretty significant, and certainly got my attention. With BMJ Senior Editor Dr. Peter Doshi as the senior author, could be! Dr. Doshi has a well earned reputation for telling inconvenient truths. So, let's take a look.
