Will Bill Gates And mRNA Vaccine Monopolies Be Responsible For Millions of Covid Deaths?

mRNA is the one vaccine I won’t take. It’s news to me that it’s “the most effective”, but I also think (based on very little research, frankly) that it’s the most dangerous.

I will probably avoid taking any vaccine, and may move to a freer state (say Florida) to avoid taking it, if I have to. I may move to a freer state, anyway, since “the science” followed by Democratic governors is as transparent as mud.

Speaking of science and public policy, I recommend progressive youtuber Kim Iverson’s “India’s Virus Strategy, #ForceTheVote and Is Tulsi Becoming A Republican?”*, viz. the part about India’s strategy of testing and (early, outpatient) TREATMENT. They initially treated with hydroxychloroquine, but switched to Ivermectin, when they found out that it works better than hydroxychloroquine. This is what we expect a competent government to do – refining their approach as new knowledge appears. They should also be recommending and distributing Vitamin D, but as far as I’ve heard, only the British government has done so, and only to oldsters.

The systemic fail is not limited to the US. This is critical to understand, should somebody, somewhere, ever attempt to look deeper than their ‘local’ (i.e., national and state level) political and freakonomic analysis.

AFAIK, there’s no coverage of the Indian experience in mainstream media (possibly Fox, but probably superficial, it it happens, at all). IMNSHO, that means they’re essentially complicit in wholesale murder, of human lives and economies.

But think about this, brothers and sisters – WHERE IS THE COVERAGE IN BETTER KNOWN ALTERNATIVE POLITICAL MEDIA?. Instead, we have suppression there, also, at least AFAIK**. So, while Iverson covers this, note that she criticizes progressive Krystal Ball, of the Hill. Ball even mocked Trump for hydroxychloroquine, betraying an utter ignorance of the science behind it. (Or pretending to.) Is DemocracyNow any better? I remember their mainstream-symbiotic coverage of 911 narrative challenges from scientists and engineers, and I got to say: I doubt it.

N.B. Naked Capitalism has a recent (Jan 23) diary “A Healthy Microbiome Builds a Strong Immune System That Could Help Defeat COVID-19”. I have speculated on this very blog that transference of microbiome from human to human (which happens all the time, even without intimate contact; and is already known to be critical in educating the immune system of infants, who are born through natural, vaginal birth) can help build up herd immunity. BTW, many in India are claiming that they are approaching herd immunity.

* though I’m somewhat reticent as she burned me quoting bad data about Sweden; in in this program, I believed she referred to Buttigieg as a Democratic Senator, which is wrong

** I haven’t researched this, instead relying on “what I’ve heard and read”.

But liberals assure me that Gates is a saint!

And to think, this is just the first of many pandemics to come. In ten years, we could be confronted with several new pandemics a year. We’ll be taking vaccines all year long. No problem. Vaccines are fun and safe, so it will all be good. Nothing could go wrong because nothing ever does go wrong.

One nation has already provided more than a quarter of its people with at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, outpacing every other country in the world and more than sextupling the percentage in the United States. During one recent three-day period, in fact, it administered a dose of the vaccine to a higher percentage of its population than the U.S. has altogether. Nearly three-fourths of those over age 60 have gotten their first shot. And most of the population could be vaccinated by the end of March, which would be earlier than any nation except, perhaps, tiny Palau and the Vatican. The government is now preparing “passports” for the twice-jabbed that will exempt them from quarantines.

It’s the kind of standout success one would expect from the now-familiar stars of the global response to COVID-19—Taiwan, South Korea, or New Zealand. But it’s actually been achieved by Israel, in several respects a surprising country to be the world’s front-runner on vaccine distribution. A 2019 Johns Hopkins study ranked Israel an unspectacular 54th among 195 countries in terms of preparedness for a pandemic. After initially appearing to vanquish the coronavirus, Israel has since suffered some of the world’s worst outbreaks—something that remains true as it celebrates its vaccine advances. And during a pandemic in which public trust in government has emerged as arguably the most consistent ingredient across countries for success in combatting the virus, public confidence in Israel’s political leaders is dismally low. The Israeli government currently has the distinction of being one of the most unstable in the democratic world.

The game is to praise liberal-minded policies while doing conservative ones on the sly. This was Obama but also Woodrow Wilson. The age of FDR praised but the racism was not talked about until later. The conservatives know we have to wipe out selective parts of the record. It is not that the record was not clear.

“Last year only four companies were making vaccines for the U.S. market, down from more than 20 in the 1970s.” -FTA

^Good by market, hello regional monopolies.

“The U.S. Health and Human Services Department “conducted extensive market research and price analysis” to ensure prices are fair, said a senior HHS official who asked for anonymity.”

^Get prices for goods made by a regional monopoly operating in a market with non-existent competition (and massive government subsidies) and then determine price reasonableness by….. looking at prices for the same goods in the same market with non-existent competition (and massive government subsidies) populated by the three other regional monopolies.

The best part is that this awful logic is built into Federal Acquisition Regulations so Government buyers have to follow it. This is why Defense Spending is in its current state, it has the same dynamic of regional monopolies and insane Government policy.

Why not Sputnik? Are you serious?

Maybe it’s because Sputnik’s chemical formula is C8H18FN2O2P or something akin to it.

Ian:

Could overpopulation be the motivation for letting the virus rage among the rabble, here and globally,
severely restricting vaccine access, especially among those in the southern hemisphere, and essentially writing off a huge swath of humanity?

I wouldn’t lay it all on Gates but he’s been playing with people’s lives — and deaths — for a long time.

80% of the working class really isn’t needed as long as trillions can be created by the push of a button and divvied out to the people who matter.

McConnell essentially won the filibuster by cutting a deal with conservatives Democrats like Sinema (AZ) and Manchin (WV) to keep it.

I don’t see Trump convicted in the Senate. If anything, delaying the impeachment trial for two weeks gives the stoneless Republicans even more time to wriggle out of voting for it.

Schumer has got to be the worst, most useless Senate Majority leader imaginable. McConnell will eat him alive –like he always does.

I wonder if Gates had to torture and terrorise Oxford into handing over control to AstraZenaGates or if Oxford was happy to be persuaded.

I suspect I will take the risky novel untested mRNA neovaccinoid. Why would I take that risk?
Because at age 63 with a bad pneumonia in my past, high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease, I suspect I am at worse risk from long-tail coviditis than I would be from mRNA vaccinitis.
I may be wrong. I am just doing the best thinking I can for my situation.

Meanwhile, everyone who finds out about dietary and health-maintainance approaches and who can afford them ( or at least the cheap ones) should go right ahead and use them.

It is clear that the Global Overclass has put mankind on its Long Death March through the Valley of Selection. There will be darwinners and darlosers. If the nonRich majority could conquer their governments and use those governments for nonRich majority benefit, that would be great. And it is certainly worth a try. Meanwhile, nonRich people might consider doing what they can at the individual and cultural level to increase their health in the teeth of the Overclass Conspiracy to reduce their health in order to make us all vulnerable to seemingly accidental mass-death from various “causes”.

Bill Gates has always been a piece of work; it didn’t take much but, he helped make the software industry into a ball & chain that burdens every US worker.

Commenting on my experience:

Every US engineer, every US machinist, every US designer, every US drafter starts each year at a horrible economic disadvantage created by the US software “industry”. Estimates run around $16,000.00-$22,000.00/yr must be paid per US employee for the privilege of running software developed over 30 years ago.

In Europe, the aforementioned scientists, techs & trades pay $6,000 to own a full copy of a certain high-end CAD software. In the US, a lower-end version of that same software costs upwards of $20,000 plus, yearly license fees of around $3,000 and special fees for add-ons that are in the full package that European counterparts get free. The software is European in origin but, a great deal of the code is from US developers working on DARPA’s various projects.

While paying lip service and having “show” offices, none of the Asian suppliers I’ve visited pay for any of their software…well, that’s not entirely true, local shops install bundles of the latest software and charge about $150 per installation with support. This is possible because a great deal of software is developed in Asia and the keys are known and in the case of “sophisticated” ones, they can be overcome by spoofing the software into believing it’s on the “the internet”.

To some degree, this actually works in favor of the US software companies as Asians use the latest software and US firms are forced to buy software upgrades just to keep up with their Asian suppliers output. All this shit revolves around copyright laws which are effing ridiculous. Let me give you a hypothetical example:

1] Let’s say a woman develops a fusion engine that produces bountiful, almost free electricity as it’s output. This fusion engine is cheaper to build than a single coal plant steam turbine. She has, at best, 20 years to profit by her world changing invention but, it will take twenty years just to satisfy US regulatory bodies before her fusion engine can be marketed commercially.

2] Let’s say a dude reads of a process and that process has not been “computerized”, so he writes down the code to do it and then patents it as well as copy-writing it. He can go to market the next day and has…what is it now…120 years to profit?

I mean WTF, where’s the logic? In case 1] she must sell her innovation to big capital if she hopes to profit at all…and she has no leverage in that negotiation, without big capital to push congressmen to write “special legislation” to extend the IP, the patent is just bragging rights. The man in case 2] is going to make far more money than the woman in case 1]. Writing software or, a story line is disproportionately favored by lawmakers who make their living…wait for it…creating protocols and writing. With patents, a widget sketched on a napkin and a world transforming innovation have equal standing. And then too, there are the yearly maintenance fees meant to deter lower class ownership of patents that take time to profit by.

In 1979, an East German court ruling found that software was “neither a scientific work nor a creative achievement”. I concur it is the work of a scribe, it is valuable and one should profit but not by ransoming the entire US economy. US software’s innovative heyday was thirty or more years ago and almost none of the true developers profited…just the schemers like Bill, whose fortune really comes from the legal contract his father wrote up for his son…that and…Bill’s willingness to scheme guileless early code-writers and to use capital to break the rest.

A few years ago Bill declared he was going to use his capital to work on fusion, he brought a lot of credulous engineers and scientists together to think-up various schemes to achieve fusion and then…he patented all the processes he could and sent them home. Bill hopes to burden some poor soul who does all the heavy lifting only to find out that Bill’s lawyers can find some kind of infringement in a byzantine labyrinth of copyright and patents. People like Bill have always lived parasitically upon humans.

Had Bill’s life been unlived, the USA would be vastly richer, the lives of it’s citizens far better and the world less divided. I can think of nothing worse to say of a man, or a woman than to say that their existence impoverished the world of their birth.

RE: FDR and the New Deal: “. . . the racism was not talked about until later. ”

I am not sure what sly meaning is intimated here by Stirling. Racism was certainly talked about contemporaneously — racism was often an issue.

The background assumptions were certainly different.

I am not positive where you arre getting your information,
however great topic. I needs to spend a while learning more or figuring out more.
Thank you forr excellent info I was in search of this info
for my mission.
