#2 Letter from Israel's leading immunologist, Dr Ehud Qimron of Tel Aviv U., to the Israeli public health authorities:

Ministry of Health, it’s time to admit failure

In the end, the truth will always be revealed, and the truth about the coronavirus policy is beginning to be revealed. When the destructive concepts collapse one by one, there is nothing left but to tell the experts who led the management of the pandemic – we told you so.

Two years late, you finally realize that a respiratory virus cannot be defeated and that any such attempt is doomed to fail. You do not admit it, because you have admitted almost no mistake in the last two years, but in retrospect it is clear that you have failed miserably in almost all of your actions, and even the media is already having a hard time covering your shame.

You refused to admit that the infection comes in waves that fade by themselves, despite years of observations and scientific knowledge. You insisted on attributing every decline of a wave solely to your actions, and so through false propaganda “you overcame the plague.” And again you defeated it, and again and again and again.

You refused to admit that mass testing is ineffective, despite your own contingency plans explicitly stating so (“Pandemic Influenza Health System Preparedness Plan, 2007”, p. 26).

You refused to admit that recovery is more protective than a vaccine, despite previous knowledge and observations showing that non-recovered vaccinated people are more likely to be infected than recovered people. You refused to admit that the vaccinated are contagious despite the observations. Based on this, you hoped to achieve herd immunity by vaccination — and you failed in that as well.

You insisted on ignoring the fact that the disease is dozens of times more dangerous for risk groups and older adults, than for young people who are not in risk groups, despite the knowledge that came from China as early as 2020.

You refused to adopt the “Barrington Declaration”, signed by more than 60,000 scientists and medical professionals, or other common sense programs. You chose to ridicule, slander, distort and discredit them. ...

You have not set up an effective system for reporting side effects from the vaccines, and reports on side effects have even been deleted from your Facebook page. Doctors avoid linking side effects to the vaccine, lest you persecute them as you did with some of their colleagues. Ministry of Health, it’s time to admit failure

You chose to ridicule, slander, distort and discredit them. Instead of the right programs and people, you have chosen professionals who lack relevant training for pandemic management (physicists as chief government advisers, veterinarians, security officers, media personnel, and so on).

You have not set up an effective system for reporting side effects from the vaccines, and reports on side effects have even been deleted from your Facebook page. Doctors avoid linking side effects to the vaccine, lest you persecute them as you did with some of their colleagues. You have ignored many reports of changes in menstrual intensity and menstrual cycle times. You hid data that allows for objective and proper research (for example, you removed the data on passengers at Ben Gurion Airport). Instead, you chose to publish non-objective articles together with senior Pfizer executives on the effectiveness and safety of vaccines.

Irreversible damage to trust

However, from the heights of your hubris, you have also ignored the fact that in the end the truth will be revealed. And it begins to be revealed. The truth is that you have brought the public’s trust in you to an unprecedented low, and you have eroded your status as a source of authority. The truth is that you have burned hundreds of billions of shekels to no avail – for publishing intimidation, for ineffective tests, for destructive lockdowns and for disrupting the routine of life in the last two years.

You have destroyed the education of our children and their future. You made children feel guilty, scared, smoke, drink, get addicted, drop out, and quarrel, as school principals around the country attest. You have harmed livelihoods, the economy, human rights, mental health and physical health.

You slandered colleagues who did not surrender to you, you turned the people against each other, divided society and polarized the discourse. You branded, without any scientific basis, people who chose not to get vaccinated as enemies of the public and as spreaders of disease. You promote, in an unprecedented way, a draconian policy of discrimination, denial of rights and selection of people, including children, for their medical choice. ...

#6 #5 So you're proud you chased away a good contributor?

Surely you're not referring to this beacon of open-mindedness and good faith?

#122 ^TW,
27.1% of the world population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 13.7% is fully vaccinated. 3.86 billion doses have been administered globally, and 30.86 million are now administered each day.

You don't think if there were any adverse effects, we'd hear about it by now? I mean, not a few dozens people but a few hundred thousand.

Oops. Actually there are MILLIONS now. 100s, even 1000x more than what we were originally told. So many that Pfizer are trying desperately to shield their data from scrutiny ... for 75 years!

p.s. Before vaccines become available, we seen - here at Ranburg - a "scientific" report that masks don't work, at least once a week. We seen reports that people who recovered from Covid have antibodies six-months later.

Double oops.

We seen reports that HCQ, ivermectin - and, for all I know hair growth cream - cure Covid.

Triple oops.

So, it all may be science for MIT anthropologists. For me, it's no different from AGW science or Christian science or Creation Science

#8 One of my retired military pilot buddies sent me a report he was forwarded that indicates the pilot of the splashed F-35 screwed the pooch while attempting the carrier landing. The report indicates that it was due to severe myocarditis and the pilot had a booster 72 hrs prior. "it felt like someone hit me in the chest with a baseball bat..." You can only cover it up for so long...

Myocarditis Following Immunization With mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines in Members of the US Military.

IMPORTANCE Myocarditis has been reported with COVID-19 but is not clearly recognized as a possible adverse event following COVID-19 vaccination.

OBJECTIVE To describe myocarditis presenting after COVID-19 vaccination within the Military Health System.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This retrospective case series studied patients within the US Military Health System who experienced myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination between January and April 2021. Patients who sought care for chest pain following COVID-19
vaccination and were subsequently diagnosed with clinical myocarditis were included.

EXPOSURE Receipt of a messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine between January 1 and April 30, 2021.

MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Clinical diagnosis of myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination in the absence of other identified causes.

RESULTS A total of 23 male patients (22 currently serving in the military and 1 retiree; median [range] age, 25 [20-51] years) presented with acute onset of marked chest pain within 4 days
after receipt of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. All military members were previously healthy with a high level of fitness. Seven received the BNT162b2-mRNA vaccine and 16 received the
mRNA-1273 vaccine. A total of 20 patients had symptom onset following the second dose of an appropriately spaced 2-dose series. All patients had significantly elevated cardiac troponin levels. Among 8 patients who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging within the acute phase of illness, all had findings consistent with the clinical diagnosis of myocarditis.

Additional testing did not identify other etiologies for myocarditis, including acute COVID-19 and other infections, ischemic injury, or underlying autoimmune conditions. All patients received brief supportive care and were recovered or recovering at the time of this report.

The military administered more than 2.8 million doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in this period. While the observed number of myocarditis cases was small, the number was higher than expected among male military members after a second vaccine dose.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this case series, myocarditis occurred in previously healthy military patients with similar clinical presentations following receipt of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Further surveillance and evaluation of this adverse event following immunization is warranted. Potential for rare vaccine-related adverse events must be considered in the context of the well-established risk of morbidity, including cardiac injury, following COVID-19
infection.

#10 The data from around the world are unequivocal. For a young man 15-25 the risk of severe myocarditis, or another serious adverse effect from the mRNA jab, is orders of magnitude higher than the risk of severe COVID.

#16 Back on topic, now Fauxi is seeking to shift blame for his policies' epic failure to the CDC -- and even to his colleague Francis Collins at NIH!

Drs. Bhattacharya and Kulldorff have their revenge now -- finally being given a platform in mainstream media (Newsweek):

"... So, the blame game is in full swing. At a recent Senate hearing, Dr. Anthony Fauci did not even attempt to defend his policies. Instead, he insisted that: 'Everything that I have said has been in support of the CDC guidelines.'

"Dr. Fauci, as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has worked closely with the two CDC directors, Drs. Robert Redfield and Rochelle Walensky, throughout the pandemic, but he is now laying the responsibility on them.

"[Fauxi] did the same with his former boss, shortly after Dr. Francis Collins resigned as director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

"Dr. Collins fiercely defended Fauci throughout the pandemic. In October 2020, the Great Barrington Declaration criticized Fauci's lockdown strategy, calling for focused protection of high-risk older people while letting children go to school and young adults live near-normal lives.

"A few days later, Collins—a geneticist with little public health experience—wrote an email to Fauci suggesting a "take down" of the declaration, and characterizing its Harvard, Oxford and Stanford authors as 'fringe epidemiologists.'

"Fauci agreed with his boss, but when asked about the incident at the recent Senate hearing, he responded that it 'was an email from Dr. Collins to me.' In other words, Fauci himself was just following orders."
