A Car With No Brakes or Steering Wheel

A story in two parts.

Part One:

South Korea’s health ministry has created a “national platform” for aggregated medical data, so they can tell what pharmaceutical products every citizen has received, say for example, and they can closely track subsequent diagnoses and treatments. You see where this is going. The “Coffee & Covid” Substack wrote about this first: Korean researchers evaluated a ton of national data, and have released a series of papers — currently in preprint — about the apparent effects of Covid vaccines.

One paper finds that those vaccines “were identified as significant risk factors” for inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders. Another finds that Covid vaccines “increased the risk of hematologic abnormalities.” And the third, a paper on “non-fatal immune-related adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination,” concludes that “the three-month risks of incidental non-fatal irAEs are substantially higher in the COVID-19 vaccinated subjects than in non-vaccinated controls.”

Meanwhile, the new “frameshifting” paper in the journal Nature — “N¹-methylpseudouridylation of mRNA causes +1 ribosomal frameshifting,” and no, I’m not pretending that even reads like English to me — is telling us that the mRNA injections have effects we haven’t begun to understand, with implications that are unclear but not looking good.

In Alex Berenson’s summary, the paper shows that the mRNAs “accidentally cause our cells to create vast numbers of random misshapen proteins.” See Unacceptable Jessica for a highly detailed discussion of the paper from a scientist.

All of this is frosting on a cake that we’ve been eating for a while. See, for example, the well-known Cleveland Clinic study, published earlier this year, that showed that more doses of Covid vaccines were associated with more frequent Covid infection. But don’t worry, the factcheckers say, because that doesn’t mean what it seems to mean:

“The data from the study do indeed show that those who have more vaccines have more infections, but this is very unlikely to be causal in nature,” epidemiologist Matthew Fox from Boston University told us in an email.

And yet we have another study, published in September in Public Health, that suggests a comparable finding about highly vaccinated healthcare workers: “Both the absolute sick days and the rate of HCWs on sick leave significantly increased with each subsequent vaccination.”

So: Where would you say the evidence is pointing, now, about the safety and effectiveness of Covid vaccines?

Part Two:

The CDC, this week:

Urgent need to increase vaccination against Covid-19!

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, this week:

Let’s check in with some doctors!

They will not stop. Mere evidence won’t slow them down. They won’t even ease up on the gas pedal. It’s like talking to Chad down at the club when he’s gotten into the cocaine: The only answer is more, more, more, more, more.

At this point, if the Covid vaccines were turning people into goats — well, take more! Look at all the goats in my clinic, their symptoms are fairly mild and they’re all dressed like humans. OBVIOUSLY THIS MEANS IT WORKS.
