‘Last week we added a new category called “Amputations” to The COVID Blog™ because it’s happening with more frequency by the day. We may have to add yet another new category. But there’s no all-encompassing word to describe these passing out episodes. Perhaps, like we call post-injection convulsions “Shawn Skelton Syndrome” since she’s the first observed case on this blog, we’ll call this new category “Tiffany Dover cases.”
Everybody was in shock on December 17, 2020 when Ms. [Pontes] Dover passed out on live TV just minutes after receiving a Pfizer mRNA injection. And to this day, there are no definitive answers as to what happened to her. We don’t even really know if she’s alive today. But now, passing out on live television or in some other video presentation is common.
We included the Dover case in the story of Pakistan police superintendent Malik Imtiaz Mahmood. He collapsed on camera, and died of a heart attack shortly after receiving one of the shots. Comedienne Heather McDonald collapsed on stage last week after declaring she’s triple-vaxxed and Jesus loves her. She confirmed with Dr. Drew earlier this week that she got two Pfizer shots and a Moderna booster three weeks before the collapse. Ms. McDonald also said, “I don’t think I’m getting the fourth booster.” Then there’s the Brazilian television presenter and vaxx zealot Rafael Silva. He collapsed on live TV on January 3.’https://thecovidblog.com/2022/02/16/clara-pfeffer-33-year-old-german-television-presenter-suffers-strange-dizzy-spell-after-promoting-curfews-lockdowns-for-the-non-vaccinated/?utm_source=February+16%2C+2022+email
Only a simpleton would think the Government could or would keep your personal data safe!! ‘A shocking data breach has resulted in 500,000 QR code check-in addresses being leaked to a public website where the data could be searched and viewed.
The data involved 566,318 locations collected by the NSW Customer Services Department in what has been labelled a ‘massive and dangerous’ violation of trust.
Addresses were not limited to NSW, and included other states and territories if those businesses or the parent organisation had registered with the government to comply with mandated Covid-Safe procedures.
Some of this data included the location of domestic violence shelters, secrete defence installations – including a missile maintenance unit – power stations, tunnel locations, and private addresses. Pretty much anywhere that people were required to check in to track Covid – which was everywhere.
It is such a serious event that lawyers have called to prosecute the government department.
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has admitted that his state government is to blame for the unthinkable mistake, saying that the list was ‘uploaded in error’.
If nothing else, it is a lesson about the dangers of data and the blind faith that the government has asked citizens to have in its handling of information.
The government is set to introduce its controversial Trusted Digital Identity Bill shortly which will collect, collate, and share a frightening level of personal information about citizens. A leak or act of human error in this system would be a concern for the safety of citizen identity far greater than the NSW data error.
Perrottet said that he was only told about last year’s QR data leak on Monday, even though it happened in 2021. It has been referred to the Privacy Commissioner, but the real question is how a failure of security on this scale could be made without anybody noticing.
“That was worked through [the] Privacy Commissioner. My understanding is they were satisfied that the matter was resolved and that information was taken down. It shouldn’t have happened,” added Perrottet.
The government did not recognise its error, rather a technology security specialist by the name of Skeeve Stevens noticed that the data was publicly available and alerted experts who then went on to officially notify the government that they had a serious data security issue.
While the data was online, any one could have accessed it – including domestic abuses and foreign governments which is of particularly concern to the now-public military installations.
“Some of the scary things we were searching – firearms, armoury, federal police and where storage locations were – perhaps someone should’ve thought about what should and shouldn’t have been disclosed,” said Mr Stevens.’https://www.rebelnews.com/qr_breach_exposes_500_000_nsw_addresses?utm_campaign=rb_02_16_2022&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel
‘A jaw-dropping, peer-reviewed paper shows China’s old-school vaccine produces a far stronger T-cell response to the coronavirus than the Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA jab.
China’s CoronaVac shot caused people to make far more T-cells targeting the coronavirus than those who received Pfizer’s mRNA shot, scientists in Hong Kong have found.
Though it is only one datapoint, the study hints the Chinese shot – which is based on older, well understood principles of vaccinology – may ultimately provide longer-lasting protection than the hastily developed mRNA jabs from Pfizer and Moderna.
The study was published in a peer-reviewed journal called Respirology in November, but has (unsurprisingly) received no attention. It offers a rare head-to-head look at the immune-system effects of the Chinese and Pfizer Covid vaccines, which work in very different ways.
“Humoral responses” are antibodies, the body’s first-line defense against infection; the mRNA vaccines are known to produce supra-natural levels of antibodies, giving rise to short-term protection that fades within months.
T-cells are a part of the immune system crucial for producing long-term immunity and reducing severe disease in people who are infected. The mRNA jabs have been shown to produce relatively limited T-cell protection, but this study appears to have been the first time anyone directly compared them to the Chinese vaccine.
The scientists compared the immune responses in more than 700 people who had received either CoronaVac or mRNA shots, matching them by age and demographic data.
As expected, they found very high levels of anti-spike protein antibodies in people who received the mRNA shot. The mRNA jabs force our cells to make large amounts of the spike protein that sticks out of the shell of the coronavirus. Those proteins then cause the immune system to produce antibodies against it.
The CoronaVac recipients had lower levels of anti-spike protein antibodies. But they also had antibodies to other parts of the coronavirus. Even more importantly, when the scientists ran further tests on a smaller group of about 100 people, they found the CoronaVac shot had sharply increased the level of their coronavirus-targeting T-cells, which last far longer than antibodies.
The new T-cells targeted both the spike protein and another important part of the virus. They included both CD4+ T-cells – which stimulate the overall immune response to infection – and CD8+ T-cells – which directly attack infected cells. Meanwhile, the mRNA jab produced an equally good response in only one of those four types of T-cell.
“The average magnitude of post-vaccination responses was higher in CoronaVac subjects for structural and S-specific T-cell responses,” the researchers explain.
The research was possible because Hong Kong offers its citizens both the CoronaVac shot and the BNT162b2 mRNA jab – the Pfizer/BioNTech shot. (In Hong Kong, BNT162b2 is distributed by a Chinese drugmaker called Fosun, but it is still made by BioNTech and is identical to the shot Pfizer sells elsewhere. A Beijing-based company called Sinovac Biotech makes CoronaVac, which is not approved in the United States.)
CoronaVac’s advantage in producing a T-cell response probably occurs because it presents the body with an invader that is far more like the actual coronavirus than the mRNA shots do.
The CoronaVac shot is a traditional “inactivated virus” vaccine. It contains whole Sars-Cov-2 particles grown in kidney cells and chemically treated so they cannot reproduce. They are then injected alongside an “adujvant” meant to boost the immune response.
In short-term trials, the mRNA vaccines reduced infections far more than the CoronaVac and a second Chinese vaccine called Sinopharm BIBP, which is also an inactivated virus vaccine.
The early results led to considerable chest-pounding about the superiority of Western vaccines and biotechnology in general.
The New York Times, Jan. 13, 2021:
—
But the real-world data from the last year has made clear that the mRNA shots lose their protective effect quickly. Because they focus the body’s immune response on a small part of the coronavirus, they are also very vulnerable to new variants such as Omicron, even after a third “booster” dose.
In fact, Western countries have faced a much harsher Omicron wave since December than countries such as Indonesia, which used more Chinese vaccines than any country except China (although in the last two weeks Omicron cases have risen sharply in Indonesia).
The Hong Kong study may also help explain China’s apparent reluctance to move forward with mRNA vaccines – either its own or those from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech. Fourteen months after Fosun announced a deal to make the BNT162b2 mRNA shot available in mainland China, Chinese regulators have refused to approve it.
Don’t worry, though, China will no doubt be glad to set up CoronaVac clinics at pharmacies across America if we ask nicely!’https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/no-wonder-china-isnt-using-mrna-shots?utm_source=url
How many lies does a person tell before it is known he/she is a liar? ‘White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said COVID-19 booster shots may only be necessary for some people every few years rather than annually.
“It will depend on who you are,” Fauci told the Financial Times in an interview published on Feb. 9, “but if you are a normal, healthy 30-year-old person with no underlying conditions, you might need a booster only every four or five years.”
Fauci had suggested in an interview with NBC News last month that it might be necessary for people to receive booster doses every year.
“We’ve only recently boosted people. We will find out if the booster gives you a degree of durability of protection and actually should be the standard regimen of three doses of an mRNA and two doses of [Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine],” he said last month. “Or—and it’s a big ‘or’ right now—will we need to boost people every year or so?”
According to a study released on Feb. 12 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the efficacy of mRNA vaccine boosters starts to decline after about four months. The study didn’t include an age breakdown and only focused on individuals who sought treatment when the Omicron variant was spreading.
“There may be the need for yet again another boost—in this case, a fourth-dose boost for an individual receiving the mRNA—that could be based on age, as well as underlying conditions,” Fauci told reporters on Feb. 9.
Recommendations for a fourth dose of the vaccine likely will not be made across the board, he said.
During the Financial Times interview, Fauci, who has headed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly 40 years, suggested that the United States is moving out of “the full-blown pandemic phase.”
It came as several Democrat governors moved to rescind statewide mask mandates, although some local municipalities have decided to keep them intact.
Meanwhile, Swedish health officials said on Feb. 14 that they are recommending a fourth COVID-19 vaccine shot for individuals aged 80 and older.
As with the first round of booster shots, those boosters should consist of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, the health agency said.
The recommendation also covered all people living in nursing homes or who receive assisted living services at home. The second booster shot should be administered at least four months after the first booster jab, the agency said in a statement.
COVID-19 is the illness caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.‘https://www.theepochtimes.com/fauci-covid-19-boosters-may-have-to-be-taken-every-5-years_4276673.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_campaign=breaking-2022-02-14-2&utm_medium=email&est=6EDUorc9WyCslH0uSUt%2F4hXCKGcoALHZO%2FbpizBfbDcVYZ9DcVFY6roWTBevJkhjxQ%3D%3D
The following should come as no surprise for ‘If you use the video-sharing platform TikTok, you may be feeding information to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence services, warns Casey Fleming, a cyber security expert and CEO of strategic advisory firm BlackOps Partners.
In a recent interview with Epoch TV’s “Wide Angle” program, Fleming explained the dangers posed by foreign-controlled cellphone applications such as TikTok, which is owned by Beijing-based internet giant ByteDance.
“We must assume,” he said, “that every one of these applications coming from China, Russia, and other declared adversaries of the United States—we have to assume that these applications are weaponized against us.”
TikTok, the hugely popular short-format video app that allows users to create, share, and view 15-second videos often featuring singing, dancing, or comedy, was started in China as “Douyin” in September 2016; within a year, it had 100 million Chinese users.
The app was relaunched as TikTok internationally in September 2017. Attracting dozens of A-list celebrity users, and partnerships with the NBA, NFL, and Comedy Central, TikTok quickly became one of the most popular apps in the world.
By 2020, TikTok reported nearly a billion active users worldwide—less than four years after its launch.
But TikTok may have a dark side. Since TikTok is a Chinese company, all the private information that the app is collecting may be fed directly to the Chinese regime, experts have warned, citing a range of Chinese laws that compel companies to cooperate with regime authorities when asked.
“All of your data on that phone,” Fleming said, “everything you do, and everything that you have stored on your phone is being sent out of the country, possibly to be used against you.
“The Communist Party of China is collecting vast amounts of data. It may not be used against you today. But this information might be used against you, your company, or your country in the future.”’https://www.theepochtimes.com/tiktok-users-are-feeding-data-to-ccp-intelligence-agencies-cyber-experts-warn_4275403.html?utm_source=uschinanoe&utm_campaign=uschina-2022-02-14&utm_medium=email&est=fi9pZQnwvKpYtnxBuqPlePLEYDb%2Fw9O1FKqYX7tTZfaG2Esp0LMiEKT3ktW5%2F9FsUQ%3D%3D
Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
If the Police had allowed this truck to just go through all would have been fine. This is the way tyrannical governments rule over the people!
One of the few politicians that is truthful but he isn’t running in May.
