On the (imminent) slide towards another NATO war in Europe...
'And so, yes, of course, NATO commanders are frightened by what they see, this is true, & quite understandable.' thesaker.is/why-did-russia…
'What is not understandable is why these delusional idiots created the condition which left Russia no other choice than to be ready to fight a full scale war in Europe, including a nuclear one.'
'while western politicians spent the past 30 years or so slowly encircling Russia, Russian force planners successfully reformed the Soviet/Russian armed forces ...into a military capable of taking on all of NATO at once
and quickly and very painfully defeat it.'
'Does anybody in Europe seriously doubt the determination of the Russians not to allow yet another European surprise attack?'
(NATO support for Nazi-infiltrated Ukraine is a corrosive reminder of the last European surprise attack.)
'Russian Defense Minister Shoigu just reported that in November the USAF used 10 strategic bombers coming in from both the east and the west to rehearse nuclear strikes on Russia and that they changed course only 20km from the Russian airspace.'
At some not-too-distant point it is not inconceivable that Russia will, as a last resort, shoot down or sink NATO military craft making threatening runs for its borders.
But if NATO escalates to attack RF territory, the Russian riposte is likely to be massive, rapid, & on NATO territory (not just Ukraine), including US soil & not improbably Freelander Canada.
Within hours.
Since much of NATO's attacking airpower will be destroyed in the first hours by superior Russian air defences, & much of RF's missile power cannot be stopped, & its ground armor is largely unstoppable, then US, already nuclear-biased, may escalate to last domaine of parity--MAD.

Are adverse events in C19 vaccine trials under-reported?
'A systematic review in PLOS journal analysed 28 studies & found that adverse events were less likely to appear in published journal articles than unpublished studies (e.g. industry-held data).' maryannedemasi.com/publications/f…
Systematic review in PLOS Journal:
doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.1002127 journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…
'strong evidence...much of the information...remains unpublished & that the number & range of adverse events is higher in unpublished than in published versions of the same study.'
'Experts now suggest that the pivotal Covid-19 vaccine trials may have under-reported adverse events in several ways.' [below]

'In the UK it was described that secondary attack rates among household contacts exposed to fully vaxxed index cases was similar to household contacts exposed to unvaxxed index cases' (25% to 23%)'
That was transmission. Regarding infection:
'Peak viral load did not differ by vaccination status'
They conclude:
'It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.'
Gross negligence is essentially what current vac-sanctified reopening amounts to.
His recent work can be read in the context of sociologist Sheldon Wollin's concept of 'inverted totalitarianism,' ably described by former NYT Bureau Chief, Pulitzer-prize winning writer, Chris Hedges.
Hedges interview on 'inverted totalitarianism'
Unlike charismatic strong-man veneration of classical totalitarianism, inverted totalitarianism hides in the 'anonymity of the corporate state'... not a revolutionary party but a systemic corporate power that infests the democratic, judicial trappings of state. 35k lobbyists...

Pfizer official figures:
relative risk reduction (RRR), 95.1%; 95% CI, 90.0% to 97.6%;
absolute risk reduction (ARR), 0.7%; 95% CI, 0.59% to 0.83%; pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33652582/
To compare w/ influenza inoculations:
'A 1.4% ARR works out to a NNV of approximately 72 people, meaning that 72 individuals need to be vaccinated to reduce one case of influenza.'
'By comparison, Figure 2 of the present article shows that the NNV for the Pfzier-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are 142 (95% CI 122 to 170) and 88 (95% CI 76 to 104), respectively.
Best case: 95% RRR and .7% ARR = avg of 142 vaccine courses to prevent 1 *symptomatic* case of C19

'12 of 31 infections in fully vaccinated household contacts (39%) arose from fully vaccinated epidemiologically linked index cases. Peak viral load did not differ by vaccination status or variant type'
