Fred’s final Question:
There seems to be some dissension in the press (and with the government medical agencies) just how much immunity is conveyed by being infected. Today,I saw on TV where a govt doctor said that infection offered 'some' immunity, but not as good as the vaccine. I would have thought it was the opposite as the vaccine sensitizes the immune system to 1 protein (the 'S' protein) from the virus, but getting and overcoming COVID should sensitize your immune system to something like 23 proteins that make up the virus particle. Yes?
Fred: You’re on the right track
The gov’t doctor who said, “ infection offered 'some' immunity, but not as good as the vaccine”, is flat wrong. He’s not just wrong, he dangerous. Anyone who goes by his advice could die from following it.. He doesn't understand the most critical component of human immunology- clonal expansion and memory. He’s in good company, though, I’ll give him that.
Dr. Atul Gawande who is a surgeon and public health specialist and was awarded a MacArthur (so-called “genius”) Grant in 2006, is also on record as claiming the vaccine confers better protection than getting the disease. I heard him say it in a radio interview. I just about fell out of my chair until I heard he had a Covid vaccine start-up of his own and had recently been tapped to assume a major role in President Biden’s USAID. Maybe he didn’t care about the lives that would be lost because of his comments since there might be some money in it, or maybe he doesn’t understand human immunology.
Then of course Dr. Anthony Fauci has been telling this to us ever since the vaccines came out. But he’s the last person you’d want to listen to regarding the virus and vaccines. It took him six months plus to even recognize that the vaccines didn’t block transmission. If you’ve read all the Parts in this series, you know this already. He had no excuses, of course. I figured it out on half a sheet of notebook paper with a dull #2 pencil in a hotel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, before the vaccines even came out. You’ve read that explanation already. I don’t believe Dr. Fauci thinks that horrible vaccine confers better immunity than getting the disease and recovering. You won’t either after you read my post entitled “Painting Jay Into a Corner”.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the FDA COMMISSIONER from May of 2017 to April of 2019, and currently a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a partner at the venture capital firm New Enterprise Assiciates (NEA), and a BOARD MEMBER AT PFIZER and Illumina. He wrote a NYT bestselling book called “Uncontrolled Spread” about the Covid-19 Pandemic. Here are some shocking discoveries from an interview on Oct 21, 2021 on The Megyn Kelly Show. The whole interview is a BS-fest. Its quite sickening, actually. The interview starts at about 47 minutes in.
He is in favor of giving the vaccine to children and used the trials where 90,000 adults were studied to justify its use in children. You have got to be kidding me.. There were only about 2,000 children in their trial. (Even Megyn said, “I love the vaccine and think it’s miraculous. And I think we should be really proud of the guys at Pfizer and Moderna and J&J but there’s no long term testing…etc” and she goes on to say she’s willing to take a risk there for herself but maybe not her children (which is commendable, but wrong).
He said, “I wouldn’t argue that natural immunity is better than vaccination.” It’s almost inconceivable that he could be that obtuse. Forst of all if you know anything about human immunity, you know that natural immunity is better than a vaccine based on a single protein. And if he couldn’t reason that out, all he had to do was look at the literature. A recent study had shown that natural immunity was 27 times more effective than the vaccine. It just boggles the mind how these people making policy and influencing the public could be this stupid or dishonest. Dr. Gotlieb was selected to be on Face the Nation and CNBC as a regular to guide the nation through this and he doesn’t know much about it at all (or he’s lying, which is worse). Dear Mr. Face the Nation and CNBC Producers: GET SOMEONE ON YOUR SHOW WHO KNOW’s WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT!
Finally, the CDC Director, Dr. Rochelle Wallensky whom you’ve seen in this series next to Dr. Fauci procloaiming that if you get the vaccine you can neither get the virus nor spread it to anyone else a full four months after I confirmed, with data, that, in fact, the opposite is true. She and Dr. Fauci were saying this regularly in April and May of 2021. As you read her credentials, bear in mind that she said all of this five months after I had come to the conclusion that these vaccines couldn’t block transmission and four months after I had confirmed it using real world data from Israel. I’m sure by late February, the US data showed the same. Am I that much better than all of the epidemiologists and data scientists working together at the CDC whose job it is to alert the director of such a major finding? Of course not!
Were she and Dr. Fauci lieing to the American people in order sell more vaccines? I thought so at the time. When I discussed this with Dr. Bhattacharya, he had a different take. He claims Dr. Wallensky just didn’t know. “How could that be? I figured it out in January!” I exclaimed. “I didn’t know myself. It never occurred to me that those vaccines weren’t blocking transmission”, said Jay.
OOPS…
I went on to explain how I confirmed my hypothesis. “But you didn’t have enough data in January!”, he protested. “I used the data coming out of Israel. As you know they were much more efficient than us in administering the vaccine.- roughly a month ahead- eve though they started six days after us.”
It was fairly easy to prove my Earth-shattering assertion that the vaccines weren’t blocking transmission. If the data scientists at the CDC were unaware of this most critical element of any vaccine- can it block transmission-, they most certainly had neglected to account for my favorite (and coined) term of the pandemic, “immunity-in-place”.
I latched on to that concept very early on in the pandemic by noticing that most of the passengers on the Diamond Princess didn’t test positive, let alone have symptoms, even though they had to have been exposed to the virus. By the end of a three week cruise, considering the cramped quarters provided, you feel you’ve been intimate with every woman on the ship, and that’s near impossible with 2500 passengers aboard. It had to be that they were protected from getting infected with SARS-2 before they got on the ship, I reasoned, a kind of immunity in place due to cross-reactivity with other coronaviruses due to exposure earlier in their lives.
Immunity-in-place, yeah that’s what I’ll call it. Many of my corrections of the expertsover the last two plus years were a direct result of invoking that concept since they neglected it over and over again from the beginning.
It was there to help me prove that Professor of Medicine, Epidemiology and Population Health, Dr. Julie Parsonnet and her team at Stanford were off by a factor of five when they said only 31.5 million people in America had been exposed by September 28, 2020 and that “we weren’t anywhere near herd immunity”. Specifically, I showed that even 8 days before that, on September 20, 2020, we had passed the 155 million mark and that, coupled with the approximately 120 million (at a minimum) additional members of the herd because of their immunity-in-place, we were in actual fact very close to herd immunity. We needed only an additional 70 million or so that we would pick up during the first half of the winter bump to reach herd immunity. We arrived at that oft-talked about but rarely understood milestone on January 11, 2021, approximately nine-and-a-half months after the initial wave hit our northeast. The wild type virus was gone, never to return in any significant way, in less than a year.
And we did it without a single person being fully-vaccinated…
I made a beautiful video explaining this several days later but YouTube took it down immediately. I mentioned my finding in two or three interviews I did at the same time but YouTube took those down too and the world was deprived of two incredibly-important facts. 1., that we had reached herd immunity for the wild type virus, and, 2., that we did so without a single person being vaccinated (see graphs below).
Dr. Bhattacharya challenged it, as recently as March, 2022 on the grounds that the abrupt drop in cases could have been due to the end of the winter bump. Jay has been a great “counterpoint” to my theories and has made me think. Thank you to Dr. Bhattacharya. On this occasion, I pointed out that the flu’s winter season stretches from October 1 to May 31 and that its peak occurs in February. Although influenza and coronaviruses have their differences, it is not reasonable at all to entertain the possibility that the winter season of coronaviruses could have come and gone by barely 1/3 of the way through January while that of influenza continues until May 31 and has its peak in February. I stand by my claim. We most certainly reached herd immunity to the wildtype SARS-2 virus on January 11, 2021.
Did I mention that we did so without the help of even a single person being fully vaccinated (two weeks past their second dose)? I’m not saying 1%, I’m saying one person.
Not a single person out of 365 million.
And this is after the Government and TV Doctors, numerous academics, virtually all of the mainstream media and garden variety proponents of the vaccine, both medical doctors and laymen, believed and preached that we would need 60% to 70% of the population vaccinated (later upped to 90%) before herd immunity could be reached.
President Biden even said we’d need 98% vaccinated at one point.
That’s power, isn’t it? When you can be so profoundly clueless about something of jugular importance and by executive order, make policy with the stroke of a pen, based on that complete lack of understanding, policy that will cost millions of people their lives and livelihoods, causing both physical pain and heartache on a colossal scale and then walk away as if you have done absolutely nothing wrong, perhaps in the utterly delusional belief that you were right all along.
Time has proven me correct and my approach to finding the date of herd immunity for the different variants will be adopted by the scientific community eventually because the reasoning behind it is irrefutable.
As soon as the public found out that the vaccine did not block transmission, the interest in getting the vaccines would have fallen off a cliff. I hate to say this but it is more likely that they lied about the data coming in so they could sell more vaccines. If they- I’m talking about the general public now- had seen my video of February 10, 2021, they would have had the opportunity to save their own lives and that of their children by not getting one of those vaccines.
Dr. Wallensky’s credentials: Director of the CDC. Prior to her appointment as CDC Director, she was Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at the Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Not bad.
How someone with these kinds of credentials could not understand anything of substance about this virus and vaccine with the kind of support staff she must have under her, is incomprehensible. When she admitted openly that she didn’t understand the mathematics of absolute and relative risk reduction, I thought, “well, she has staff that does and it’s not a major surprise that there is a medical doctor who is not particularly mathematical, regardless of her position”. In other words, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. But to not realize that the vaccine is not blocking transmission months and months after it was obvious to a surgeon living in a 3rd world country with no resources at hand, is very concerning. I was shocked when her predesessor held up a surgical mask in testimony before Congress and said something like “This mask affords me better protection than a vaccine that is 70% efficient”. He should have known that surgical masks didn’t work. All he had to do was look at the literature if he wasn’t able to figure it out on his own. Again, I made excuses for him, saying to myself, “Well, he doesn’t know anything about physics so he can’t see how a mask couldn’t possibly reduce transmission significantly of an invisible respiratory virus.”
But you’ve got to wonder what these people are doing all day.
None of them thought the virus could have come from a lab either, months and months after I proved that it had. Dr. Redfield did, eventually, to his credit, come around on that score.
Just to wrap up, as I’ve explained, the polio vaccine is very effective. It's a live attenuated type which is by far the best kind (please see Part 4 in this seires).
Do you remember that idiotic meme that was running around the internet for a while? It said something like
“We Eradicated Smallpox We Can Do the Same With Covid-19- Get Vaccinated!”
But enthusiasts of these memes didn’t realize that Smallpox and the vaccines created to protect you against it aren’t anything like Covid-19 and the mRNA and adenovirus vector vaccines foisted on the public in less than a year, following some very dodgy trials.
Smallpox (variola) virus has some advantages over SARS-2 that make it conducive to eradication.
There is no reservoir host for the smallpox virus It lives in humans only. ** domesticated and wild animals can carry SARS-2
It is very easy to identify someone who is infected They have unmistakable pox marks and pustules on their skin, extremities> trunk, including their faces. No laboratory tests are necessary. Thus it is easy to identify and quarantine the spreaders since patients exhibit signs and symptoms before becoming contagious. **Pre-symptomatic pateints can spread SARS-2
The sick are contagious for only about three special weeks near the beginning of and at the height of their illness.
As a DNA virus, variola does not mutate frequently. Estimates run from once every twenty years to the more commonly accepted once or twice a year. If you recover, you are protected for life. ** SARS-2 mutates much more rapidly. As you know, it is an RNA virus.
80% of those who recovered had permanent scars. This was helpful is seeing where the virus had been. Those vccinated also had a distinctive scar at the injection site. **Elaborate and expensive testing is necessary to determine who has had SARS-2.
The vaccine was freeze-dried which meant it had a shelf-life, on the order of 30 days, even in hot, tropical climates. The mRNA vaccines for Covid-19 have to be kept at extremely-low temperatures.
One dose was all you needed to protect ~95% from catching the virus for at least 10 years. No number of doses keep you from catching the SARS-2 virus.
Unfortunately, SSARS-2 is a virus that is impossible to eradicate. Just imagine if you were able to remove it entirely from the human population. You still wouldn’t have it licked. Domestic animals harbor it and newborn babies enter the world every day.
Furthermore, the vaccines themselves have imparted selective pressure on SARS-2. In a future post, I will explain how this happens and propose a solution to this whole mess. Please stay tuned.
And thank you very much to Fred for posing these excellent questions.
"But to not realize that the vaccine is not blocking transmission months and months after it was obvious to a surgeon living in a 3rd world country with no resources at hand, is very concerning." Agree 100%.
Not to dismiss your intelligence because you certainly figured a lot out independently a long time before the rest of us did.
But this shouldn't be able to happen. Not with a whole task force of experts. Not with the billions of dollars in resources. Not when there are full time professionals whose job is related to this exact field of pandemic planning and response. This should have been identified immediately.
So why was it not? Are they all dumb? Or was it purposely ignored? And if it was purposely ignored... why do you think that was?
