Donald Trump Jr., World-Renowned Moron, Urges Vaccine Protests as Omicron Poses “Very High Risk”

If there’s one important lesson people should have learned over the last five years, it’s to never listen to a Trump ever again. Probably the best example of this lesson can be found in Donald Trump and company’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic which, as a reminder, included lying to the public about how serious the virus was, putting the president’s son-in-law in charge of the government’s response, politicizing mask-wearing, and regularly holding super-spreader events. To listen to anything a Trump has to say about the disease at this point would be like listening to a proctologist’s advice after they were found to have performed a series of simple surgeries that left patients shitting out of their mouths. And yet, for some reason, people with the last name Trump still think they’re eminently qualified to make medical recommendations on the matter.

Speaking to Fox News on Saturday, Donald Trump Jr. took a break from taunting NBA players behind his computer screen to rage against vaccine mandates. Praising protests in Europe, the ex-president’s namesake said Americans should be fighting back against the one thing giving us a chance of ever ending the pandemic his father so royally botched. “You don’t hear about what’s going on as it relates to the riots in Europe on a daily basis now against the vaccine mandates, because our media wants to block that out,” Trump Jr. claimed falsely. (In fact, European protests have been extensively covered by, among others, The New York Times, ABC News, and The Washington Post.) “They’re going to make sure that you never hear about it because they don’t want you getting these kind of ideas that freedom may actually still exist in some parts of the world. Europe is pushing back and America’s sitting there like sheep like, ‘Oh this is great we’ll just go along with’ what these guys who have gotten nothing right in the last two years tell us. It’s absolute insanity.”

FDA Says It Now Needs 75 Years to Fully Release Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Data

By Zachary Stieber December 8, 2021 Updated: December 8, 2021biggersmaller Print

The Food and Drug Administration is asking a judge to give it 75 years to produce data concerning the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine, up 20 years from a previous request.

The agency, known as the FDA, told the court it can work faster than its previously proposed 500-pages-per-month-rate. But it also said there are over 59,000 more pages than mentioned in an earlier filing.

That discovery, and a desire to make sure it can work on other Freedom of Information Act requests at the same time, prompted the fresh request to the judge to allow production of roughly 12,000 pages by Jan. 31, 2022, and 500 pages per month thereafter.

That timeline would take it until at least 2096, Aaron Siri, a lawyer working on the case, said in a blog post.

“If you find what you are reading difficult to believe—that is because it is dystopian for the government to give Pfizer billions, mandate Americans to take its product, prohibit Americans from suing for harms, but yet refuse to let Americans see the data underlying its licensure,” Siri said.

The case was brought on behalf of the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, which said the FDA was not complying with its request for data in a timely manner.

The group includes Dr. Carole Browner, a research professor at the University of California, Los Angeles’ David Geffen School of Medicine; Peter Doshi, an associate professor at the University of Maryland’s School of Pharmacy, and Dr. Harvey Risch, a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health.

The group says that the data should be made public quickly because the FDA spent just 108 days reviewing it before granting emergency use authorization to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

The matter is more urgent because millions of Americans are being mandated to take the shot or face repercussions, such as a loss of access to businesses and termination.

The Pfizer jab is the only one that has been approved by drug regulators. Approvals mean products have met a higher threshold of safety and effectiveness than those given emergency clearance.

“The entire purpose of FOIA is government transparency. In multiple recent cases, in upholding the FOIA’s requirement to ‘make the records promptly available,’ courts have required agencies, including the FDA, to produce 10,000 or more pages per month, and those cases did not involve a request nearly this important–i.e., the data underlying licensure of a liability-free product that the federal government requires nearly all Americans to receive,” Siri said.

“As the present pandemic rages on, independent review of these documents by outside scientists is urgently needed to assist with addressing the shortcomings and issues with the response to the pandemic to date.”

The FDA said its Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research maintains the records sought by the plaintiff but only has 10 staff members, and two of them are new, leaving them slower in processing pages than the other workers.

Each line of each page must be reviewed to ensure proper redactions are applied, the filing says.

Additionally, a faster rate than that requested would divert “significant resources away from the processing of other FOIA requests that are also in litigation,” and requests that came in before the request in question, the agency said, adding, “In sum, FDA’s proposed processing schedule is fair to plaintiff.”

Side Effects From COVID-19 Vaccines Are Difficult to Distinguish From Early Symptoms of Virus: Study

By Katabella Roberts December 8, 2021 Updated: December 8,

Post-COVID-19 vaccination side effects cannot be clearly differentiated from the early symptoms of the virus, according to new findings led by researchers at King’s College London and published last week in the eClinical Medicine journal.

Researchers who conducted the study, titled “Disentangling post-vaccination symptoms from early COVID-19” noted that “some individuals experience systemic symptoms post-vaccination, which overlap with COVID-19 symptoms.”

Scientists sought to differentiate the two by comparing early post-vaccination symptoms in individuals who subsequently tested positive or negative for SARS-CoV-2, using data from the COVID Symptom Study (CSS) app, formerly the COVID Symptom Tracker, an epidemiological research mobile app developed in the United Kingdom.

The study analyzed data from 362,770 UK users of the CSS App aged between 16–90 years who had been vaccinated between Dec. 8, 2020 and May 17, 2021, and who subsequently reported at least one symptom associated with COVID-19 within the first seven days of vaccination, other than local symptoms at the injection site.

Of these, 14,842 people took a PCR or lateral flow test, and 150 people (1 percent) subsequently reported being positive for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19.

In order to identify the differences between early COVID-19 and post-vaccination side effects, researchers used machine learning models to review a comprehensive list of 28 symptoms associated with the virus, including headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue, among others.

They also analyzed the data using just the three core symptoms emphasized by the UK’s National Health Service: a high temperature, new continuous cough, and loss or change in sense of smell or taste.

Researchers said that the machine learning models found it difficult to differentiate between symptoms in people who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and symptoms due to having received the shots with “clinical robustness,” unless a test was taken.

“Differentiating post-vaccination side-effects alone from early COVID-19 was challenging, with a sensitivity in identification of individuals testing positive of 0.6 at best. Most of these individuals did not have a fever, persistent cough, or anosmia/dysosmia, requisite symptoms for accessing UK testing; and many only had systemic symptoms commonly seen post-vaccination in individuals negative for SARS-CoV-2 (headache, myalgia, and fatigue),” researchers wrote.

Researchers noted that individuals who present systemic symptoms post-vaccination should be tested for COVID-19 or self isolate to prevent community spread.

“In conclusion, post-vaccination symptoms cannot be distinguished with clinical confidence from early SARS-CoV-2 infection,” the scientists wrote. “Our study highlights the critical importance of testing symptomatic individuals—even if recently vaccinated—to ensure early detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection and help prevent future waves of COVID-19.”

However, scientists noted that they “could not conduct a fair statistical analysis of symptoms after first vs. second vaccination for symptom profiling, given the very small numbers of infected individuals presenting after second vaccination.”

They are also considering using a more complex model to improve the current results, noting that their current sample size limited the use of such models.

“Were a larger dataset to be available, we agree this would be a potential approach,” they wrote.

Three COVID-19 vaccines—Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca, and Moderna—are currently being used in the UK.

According to the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), more than 1 in 10 people can suffer minor adverse reactions to the vaccines including pain at the injection site, fatigue, headache, myalgia (muscle pains), chills, arthralgia (joint pains), and fever.

However, the agency states that these reactions are typically mild or moderate and resolve within a few days, adding that they are usually reported less frequently in those aged 55 or above than in younger people.

The findings come shortly after the discovery of the COVID-19 Omicron variant, which is now in 38 countries. No deaths have so far been reported from the new variant, which was first found in South Africa.

There are currently 437 confirmed cases of Omicron in the UK, official figures show.

I read that it affected pilots more than cabin crew because they were seated more so more clots.
