Here is a comprehensive description based on pre-Covid science of how the human immune system interacts with coronaviruses, why lockdowns can backfire (with reference to the Spanish Influenza pandemic), why in the normal course of things variants are not to be feared and why the Covid vaccines not only do not provide long lasting protection but threaten to prolong and deepen the pandemic.

And how the epidemiological establishment was fully aware of these principles from the very beginning.

Julius Ruechel has no credentials so his work may be dismissed by those for whom such things are important, but his work is specific and well reasoned and can be readily assessed on its own merits.

A few bad words, but the content is well worth it. I could have posted this in a couple other threads. I was lazy and just picked here.

According to CDC data, only 31 percent of pregnant people have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and vaccination rates vary markedly by race and ethnicity. Vaccination coverage is highest among Asian people who are pregnant (45.7 percent), but lower among Hispanic or Latino pregnant people (25 percent), and lowest among Black pregnant people (15.6 percent).

Clearly, far too few wom—err—walking cell clump incubators have been vaccinated against the virus.

"Science" is actually unable to use the word "women" anymore. It's completely crazy.

It looks like we are coming off the second-largest wave of Covid in the US.

According to these numbers, we were basically at 2,000 people per day dying from Covid a couple weeks ago. I don't know that I heard much about that death rate in the news. I do see that although this has been the second worst wave in terms of numbers of cases, it is the third worst in numbers of deaths, so that is evidence that this wave has been less deadly.

In October of last year, we were in a sort of trough before the huge upswing in November and December. I wonder whether we'll see another wave this winter. I find it amazing that the virus has not played itself out yet given the massive and relatively successful immunization campaign on top of a huge amount of natural immunity.

Over 44 million cases of Covid have been reported in the US.

I believe cases are probably underreported. 44 million cases is only 14% of the US population. I am pretty sure that the real rate is quite a bit higher because not nearly everybody who had Covid, even people who were pretty sick, was tested. As of now, 57% of the population is fully vaccinated for Covid. I assume that a fair amount of people who have had Covid have also been vaccinated, so there may be some overlap; but if the real number of people who have had Covid (and thus have natural immunity) is closer to 20%, we're looking at a number of close to 75% of the population either having had Covid or been vaccinated. Maybe that means there is still a way to go before the virus plays itself out, but I can't imagine we will see another brutal wave like we saw last winter.

And here in PA, our former health secretary Richard/Rachel Levine, was born a man, but now is a woman. He/she moved on to bigger and better things and is working for the Biden administration. He/she was behind Governor Wolf's mandate that Covid patients be moved into nursing homes. But not before he/she moved his/her mother out of a elder facility, into the swanky Hershey Hotel.

We are told to follow the science, yet those same people can't follow the scientific fact, when a person has XY chromosomes they definitely are male and when they have xx Chromosomes they are female.
