The Indian Variant: A Great Motivator to Get Vaccinated
townhall.com ^ | 6/15/2021 | Guy Benson

Posted on 06/16/2021 7:28:28 AM PDT by rktman

I've been very open about my own decision to get vaccinated, while highlighting excellent news about the vaccines' efficacy. They work remarkably well and have worked wonders, unlike the Chinese Communist Party's less sophisticated and less effective versions. Two points, before proceeding further. We know that some "breakthrough cases" do occur among vaccinated people, hence news accounts about recent positive tests from comedian Bill Maher, several New York Yankees, and a pair of passengers on an all-vaxxed cruise ship. The incredibly reassuring news about these examples is that Maher "never was sick, I felt nothing," which was also the case for all but two of the Yankees cases (the exceptions were very mild cases). As for the cruise duo, whose story set off a ripple of panic, the facts on that story are also looking encouraging:

The radio PSAs are particularly insufferable. Absolutely condescending, patronizing and insufferable.

I have an auto immune issue with psoriatic arthritis so..... But, even if I didn’t, I choose not to.

There’s an idea.

I might start the Vu Vax Vlan.

Raise money to persecute anti-vaxxers and spend the money to build my personal real estate empire.

The whole variant thing is all about the vaccine. Ivermectin or HCQ with zinc would work just as well on any variant.

RE: The Indian Variant: A Great Motivator to Get Vaccinated

They’re trying to avoid using the names of countries or places for diseases to avoid being called racist.

This is now known as the DELTA VARIANT.

The UK is the Alpha Variant

South Africa’s is the BETA Variant.

( we can only hope that the mutations don’t go so wild that they run out of Greek letters ).

I don’t really care whether one gets the shot or not at this point, although it seems logical to me to get it. The info’s out there, and we’re so close to herd immunity that even health care facilities shouldn’t be requiring it of their employees. I’m fully vaxxed, but I still oppose the otherization of unvaxxed people. What’s next? The Vax Klux Klan??? Coronavirus PING!

*************************************************************************************

First let me say thank you for the ping, and for your willingness to be a guinea pig for this experiment which is not gonna be over for quite a while.

However, I also have to say -Sorry- In my opinion it is not remotely logical to get it. The mRNA that is used in the Vax is a chemically modified spike-it is in fact a toxin. And it also has Polyethylene glycol(PEG-AKA Antifreeze). Everyone who gets it at this point, is part of the experimental phase of an experiment.

Studies had been done that showed that there would be blood clots, and anaphylactic side effects, initiation of the cytokine storm, as well as potential miscarriages(this is why pregnant women were excluded from the initial trials).

The animal studies - none of them lived. They made the antibodies, but when exposed to the Virus, they got extremely ill and died (the vax made their illness worse). Autopsies have been done that also showed that the monkeys had Alzheimer lesions.

Herd Immunity - What a joke. This virus is 90% similar to the SARS #1 and 60% similar to the existing corona cold viruses. It's estimated that at least 30% of the people likely already had immunity.

Other than for elderly people and the people working with them, no Vax was needed. Even then, the need is questionable.

There is existing treatment. Hundreds of Doctors have written about this and the fact that even with lots of co-morbidity they are able to get most people through with their multi-drug, multi -phase treatments.

Moderna had studies in 2016-2017 That showed that such a vax would spread through the body and would cross the blood brain barrier.

The vaccine makers did no studies of how much of this toxin would migrate, where it would migrate to, how long it will last, and what are the long term impacts(and they did know that there would be immediate deaths from blood clots, anaphlactic shock and prior studies on SARS 2005 existed that they either knew about or should have known about.

For the original SARS, it was known that HCQ was an effective treatment, and also a prophylactic. Which is why HCQ was stockpiled back then in case it was needed.

It appears that all the hype/fear porn, and suppression of knowledge of treatment, has been designed to get the EUA and also to make every one so afraid that they would willingly get an experimental Vax. It appears to have worked very well. Any other vax with so many deaths and major damage would have been pulled from the market. Why is this one an exception?

And finally, these variants-more fear porn. They are 99% similar to CV-19 so any one who is immune to CV-19 is also immune to these variants. The powers that be seem to be desperate to get a jab in every arm by fall. Why so desperate-this flu is about the same as a typical bad flu season - like maybe the Hong Kong Flu. Something ain't right.

Rant over - Nuff Said.

Ethylene glycol is what is in antifreeze. Polyethylene glycol has been used in medicines before, such as laxatives.

Polyethylene Glycol Vs. Ethylene Glycol

As for your other points, other people on this thread who know more can answer them. I seem to recall the mRNA in the vax being altered, for example, to avoid the overreaction that killed all those animals in prior studies.

The spike protein is supposed to be anchored in your cell membranes, but it has been determined to go wandering free in your bloodstream, which can explain some of the bad side effects, so that's one in your favor.

All the fear-mongering on BOTH SIDES of this issue makes me ashamed to be human. Over and out.

What I meant to say was that Polyethylene glycol is similar in molecular make-up to anti-freeze. My mistake.

It is not as toxic as ethylene glycol, but it is definitely known to harm people who have kidney problems. Attacking the kidneys and electrochemical balance of the body. In addition, IIRC, 72% of the population has PEG antibodies

According to Dr. Yeadon, PEG is known to have people who are allergic to it, and is one of the reasons that some of the people are having Anaphylactic reactions.(Dr. Yeadon also has a background in Toxicology)

ADDITIONAL INFO ON PEG:
Anti-PEG antibodies: Properties, formation and role in adverse immune reactions to PEGylated nano-biopharmaceuticals

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169409X20301083

Analysis of Pre-existing IgG and IgM Antibodies against Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) in the General Population

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27804292/

To Date, I have not found any data that indicates that the mRNA was altered to take care of the problem that caused the deaths in animals. If I understand it correctly, it was sort of encased to trick the body into not attacking it and destroying it before it could do it's thing. So if you have a link to any thing different, I'd be happy to look at it.

What I wrote was Primarily based on my notes of information by Dr. Yeadon and Dr. McCullough. I don't consider passing on that information to be fear mongering.

Unlike many people, I do research before making up my mind about anything. I was in the skeptical, but wait and see category until the new and compelling evidence from Dr. Yeadon, Dr. McCullough, Dr. Malone(the inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology), and a few others that I have watched or read these last few days- has convinced me for sure, that continuing down this path with out change is ill-advised.

Unfortunately, it's a bit late for many people, who have already died or had serious reactions. And the long term consequences remain to be seen-I pray daily, that there will not be long term bad results.

I do think that this situation is important - too many people have already been harmed, and innocent children are up next-this is personal-I have grandkids and great grand kids at risk, if they are forced to take it.

One state has already passed a law that children as young as 12 should be allowed to make up their own mind without the parents knowing, whether to take what is essentially an experimental treatment with ZERO long term data on the consequences.

So if you do NOT want me to pass on what I may have learned, going forward, I would suggest that you take me off your distribution list.

The doctors that were instrumental in what I posted are not quacks or fear mongers or anti-vaxers. Here are the credentials for the 2 main Doctors that my notes were taken from.

Credentials for Dr. McCullough and Dr. Yeadon below:

Dr. McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, and Professor of Medicine at Texas A & M College of Medicine, Dallas, TX USA. Since the outset of the pandemic, Dr. McCullough has been a leader in the medical response to the COVID-19 disaster and has published “Pathophysiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection” the first synthesis of sequenced multidrug treatment of ambulatory patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the American Journal of Medicine and subsequently updated in Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine.

He has 40 peer-reviewed publications on the infection and has commented extensively on the medical response to the COVID-19 crisis in TheHill and on FOX NEWS Channel. On November 19, 2020, Dr. McCullough testified in the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and throughout 2021 in the Texas Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, Colorado General Assembly, and New Hampshire Senate concerning many aspects of the pandemic response.

Thanks for the info. I do agree with you that this shot shouldn’t be offered to kids. This is the first time the general public has ever been exposed to this kind of treatment. It’s hard to tell what effect it could have on growing bodies, similar to the potential for disasters that you can have by putting adolescents on psychotropic drugs.

For the children and adolescents, for Heaven’s sake, allow the forbidden treatments (HCQ, Ivermectin, zinc, etc.) and also for adults who don’t want the shot.

The politicization of the pandemic and its vaccines and medications is even WORSE than the fear-mongering.
