'The U.S. will not face reality about its foreign policy disasters but rather retreats to fantasy worlds that exist only in its own imagination, writes Michael Brenner.' consortiumnews.com/2022/01/05/low…
'Michael Brenner: Professor of International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh; a Senior Fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations.'
'U.S. engagements in the world over the past 20 years reveal a grim record of failed ventures. Most have been caused by unrealistic goals, blinkered views of the field of action, overweening pride, an ignorance of foreign places & their history'
'and an unseemly readiness to take complacent comfort in fantasy worlds that exist only in its own imagination. In short, American foreign policy has been misguided – badly and consistently misguided.
The inevitable frustrations and failures owe equally to sheer incompetence.'

The Icelandic data is weighted to account for overall percentages of vaccinated / unvaccinated in population:
'The data published on covid.is are weighted; the different size of the groups is adjusted for.'
'The biggest news...is that double-vaccinated people are now 90% more likely to get infected than the unvaccinated. This suggests that the protection provided by two doses of vaccine is in fact less than none, it is the opposite.
'Negative efficacy, which is cropping up in studies in Ontario, Denmark & UK, means one is more likely to be infected w/ the vaxx than without.'
I know you have. The point I'm making is that--whatever the intrinsic merits & demerits of these products--if we are at best in a similar place as b4 vaxx, it's largely owing to their having provided the scientistic illusion of forceful action, & thus cover for that dereliction.
Put otherwise--it can be plausibly argued that the way these ever more evidently flawed inoculants have been recklessly & counter-scientifically used has resulted in a weaker pandemic response than before them.
The vaccines (or their silver-bullet deployment) became the centrepiece of a high-viral circulation / mutation magical pony--instead of being used selectively in a #ZeroCovid low-circulation / mutation strategy.
'Russia has been preparing for this possibility for more than a year. It has repeatedly shown a capability to rapidly mobilize 100,000-plus combat-ready forces in short order. NATO has shown an ability to mobilize 30,000 after six-to-nine-months of extensive preparations.'
'Given the overwhelming supremacy Russia has both in terms of the ability to project air power backed by precision missile attacks, a strategic air campaign against Ukraine would accomplish in days what the U.S. took more than a month to do against Iraq in 1991.'
Helpful overview of the current state of play of scientific publishing on C19--not as damning of the mainstream narrative as some would expect; but also a significant eye-opener to those accustomed to the mainstream gruel.... swprs.org/covid-vaccines…
'German pathologists who investigated 15 post-vaccination deaths found “clear evidence of vaccine-induced autoimmune-like pathology in multiple organs.”' Ideally all such deaths would be autopsied...but start w/ 15.
'Already...several other countries stopped the...Moderna mRNA vaccine due to the increased risk of myocarditis in young people (esp.males). Even the second dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine has been stopped for adolescents in some Asian countries.'
'I no longer call them “federal health agencies” as all their actions have been 100% consistent with what a pharmaceutical or vaccine manufacturer would want them to do.' pierrekory.substack.com/p/saturday-nig…
'To prove that point, I simply ask that, when you read an announcement in corporate media that reports a new decision or action by the federal pharmaceutical agencies (FPA’s for short), simply ask yourself “is that what a pharmaceutical company would do?”'
'Perfect example...2 days ago when it was announced that the “FPA” had authorized boosters for 12-17 year old’s against omicron...using a vaccine designed for older, fundamentally different variants that have already spectacularly failed at giving protection against omicron'
