Dr. Fauci Comes Clean on Vaccines and Respiratory Viruses

(article is too long, see link and other info below. As always Fauci tells lies and truth, this is for science fags)

By David Bell February 21, 2023

“Attempting to control mucosal respiratory viruses with systemically administered non-replicating vaccines has thus far been largely unsuccessful.” ~ Dr A Fauci (former director of NIAID), 2023, commenting on vaccines for Covid-19.

The journal Cell Host & Microbe recently published one of the more important papers (Link below) of the Covid era; ‘Rethinking next-generation vaccines for coronaviruses, influenza viruses, and other respiratory viruses.’This elicited surprisingly little fanfare considering its authorship and contents.

Firstly, the final author was Dr. Anthony Fauci, the recently retired director of the United States National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), normally a magnet for the media. Secondly, because Dr. Fauci and his co-authors provide evidence that much of what those in authority have told the public regarding Covid vaccines was contrary to what they knew to be true.

Kudos to Dr. Fauci for coming clean on the basics of viruses and immunology. If leading medical journals such as the New England Journal of

Medicine or the Lancet had employed editors with such knowledge three years ago, they might have contributed to public health rather than the gutting of society and global human rights. If those in authority had explained these truths and based their policies on them, things would also have been different.

Likewise for the entire medical establishment. Much death, poverty and inequality might have been avoided. Trust may also have been maintained in the institutions within which they work.

The paper co-written by Dr. Fauci discusses the potential to develop coronavirus vaccines and vaccines for other fast-mutating respiratory viruses. It is best to step through the paper in three parts; reviewing the evidence provided by the authors, noting the residual dogma that persists despite being contrary to this evidence, and lastly considering the implications of the paper regarding the Covid public health response.

Reading the original paper is recommended, as this article only highlights extracts.

1. Poor vaccine efficacy and the superiority of natural immunity.

The review makes clear that vaccines against respiratory viruses such as influenza or coronaviruses (e.g. SARS-CoV-2 responsible for Covid) are highly unlikely to achieve the levels of effectiveness we expect from other vaccines. The authors note CDC data showing influenza vaccines, now pushed for all ages from 6 months upward, have an efficacy ranging from just 14 percent to a maximum of 60 percent since 2005 (extending back 17 years would have lowered this to 10 percent, with the average vaccine efficacy (VE) just below 40 percent). As Dr Fauci notes:

“…our best approved influenza vaccines would be inadequate for licensure for most other vaccine-preventable diseases.”

Indeed:

“…it is not surprising that none of the predominantly mucosal respiratory viruses have ever been effectively controlled by vaccines.”

The authors provide clear explanations for this lack of efficacy:

“The vaccines for these two very different viruses have common characteristics: they elicit incomplete and short-lived protection against

evolving virus variants that escape population immunity.”

It is not just the high mutation rate that is a problem, but also the mode of infection:

“They replicate predominantly in local mucosal tissue, without causing viremia, and do not significantly encounter the systemic immune system or the full force of adaptive immune responses, which take at least 5–7 days to mature, usually well after the peak of viral replication and onward transmission to others.”

As this honest appraisal notes, Covid vaccines were never expected to significantly reduce infection or transmission. Continued…..

Make the Death Penalty Great Again 1/2

February 20, 2023 (1d ago) Guest Post by J.T. Fitzgerald

President Donald J. Trump is reportedly thinking about bringing back certain methods of capital punishment like hangings as well as broadcasting executions on television as part of a second term. Predictably, the media is shrieking at the possibility.

Two recent crimes underscore the need to follow President Trump’s lead and make the death penalty great again. To do that, an originalist Supreme Court must untie juries’ hands in casting down the ultimate punishment. At the same time, Red States must get rid of criminal sanctuaries.

The Murder of a Memphis Mom

Cleotha Abston is charged with the brutal, wanton murder of Eliza Fletcher, a wife, mother of two young sons, and Memphis kindergarten teacher. Prior to Fletcher’s killing, Abston already had a lengthy criminal record. When he was just fourteen, a “juvenile court found it to be true that” Abston “committed a juvenile delinquent act of rape against an unnamed suspect when he was 14.” The rape likely involved sodomy because Abston’s victim was a male.

While his peers marked their sixteenth birthday with getting a driver’s license, “Pookie” Abston committed more crimes. When he was sixteen, Abston kidnapped a Memphis lawyer “at gunpoint, threw him in the trunk of his own car and drove him around to various ATMs, demanding he withdraw cash.”

In 2001, Abston’s victim noted that his tormenter had juvenile matters “in every year — 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999″ — and that includes charges of theft, aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a weapon, and rape. Foreshadowing Abston’s future crimes, his victim wrote he “obviously never learned any lesson from his encounters with law.”

Abston received a twenty-four-year prison sentence, but only served twenty of those years on account of time-served and other behavior-related credits. Out of prison, Abston allegedly committed another rape, this time of an adult woman.

That brings us to Abston and Eliza Fletcher. As Tucker Carlson recounted last fall: “According to the indictment [against Abston,] as Fletcher jogged by, Abston leapt out, beat her bloody, smashed her cell phone, then dragged her into his vehicle. Within an hour, Eliza Fletcher was dead. She’d been sexually assaulted and murdered.” The autopsy results show Fletcher died from a gunshot wound to the back of the head.

An Atlanta Pedophile Ring

In January, Townhall reported on the indictment of two “adoptive dads” from Georgia named William Dale Zulock Jr. and Zack Jacoby Zulock. The couple “allegedly performed oral sex on both boys, forced the children to perform oral sex on them, and anally raped their sons.”

Townhall further reported that “[n]ot only did the married men allegedly rape the two boys who were adopted through a Christian special-needs adoption agency, they were pimping out their children to nearby pedophiles in Atlanta-area suburbs.”

If convicted, the Zulocks each face “over nine life sentences” for their crimes. Even if the prosecution proves its case beyond a reasonable doubt, this means the couple would spend the rest of their days in prison, eating three square meals and receiving medical care at taxpayer expense….

The Supreme Court’s Pro-Criminal Death Penalty Jurisprudence

The Eighth Amendment was ratified in 1791. The very next year, according to a database compiled by researcher M. Watt Espy, a Pennsylvania man was put to death by hanging for rape. The Commonwealth of Virginia executed a thirteen-year old arsonist in 1796. In 1801, a California man was executed by firing squad for the crime of sodomy-buggery-beastiality. In 1878, a decade after ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware put two men to death for rape. Many of these were public executions, the last one in this country occurring in Kentucky in 1936.

At an earlier time in American history, someone with Cleotha Abston’s rap sheet might not have ever seen his sixteenth birthday, much less be alive to leave Fletcher’s two young sons without their mother. Similarly, if convicted of raping a child, the Zulocks could look forward to meeting their Maker, not spending the rest of their life in prison.

What changed? Not the text of the Eighth Amendment—it’s been the same for more than 230 years. What changed isthe Supreme Court’s interpretation of that text, effectively blocking juries from imposing the death penalty on rapists, child molesters, and murderers under the age of eighteen.

This began in earnest in 1972. In a case called Furman v. Georgia, the Court instituted a de facto, nationwide moratorium on the death penalty. The great Judge Robert H. Bork, then serving as Solicitor General, persuaded the Court to reinstate the death penalty in Gregg v. Georgia, which was decided in 1976. Bork, a first-rate legal scholar and father of originalism who broadly contributed to the development of the law in a wide swath of areas, including antitrust, would later be denied his rightful place on the Supreme Court by Joe Biden, whose legal resume includes finishing near the bottom of his law school class at Syracuse University.

Five years after Gregg, in Coker v Georgia the Court barred the States from executing criminals who rape women. In 2008, in Kennedy v. Louisiana, the Court took the death penalty off the table for child rapists, a decision that was even a bridge too far for then-candidate Barack Obama, who criticized the Court for its conclusion.

While the Court scaled back the substantive limits of the death penalty, it has also tinkered with capital punishment’s age limitations. In Thompson v. Oklahoma, decided in 1988, the Court barred executions for convicts under the age of 15, and later, in 2005, raised the minimum age for capital punishment to 18 in Roper v. Simmons.

Let’s be clear. There is no “originalist” case for these decisions. They rest on notions like “national consensus” and amorphous, manipulable standards like “evolving standards of decency.” For originalist purposes, here is the only thing that matters:

when the Constitution was ratified, was capital punishment practiced in the United States for a given crime and applied to convicts at a particular age? If the answer is yes, the Eighth Amendment does not bar the punishment—period. This was the essential, and correct, logic the Court applied in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization to send the question of the legality of abortion back to the States, sweeping the Court’s egregious Roe and Casey decisions into the dustbin of history.

The Court’s supervisory role, consistent with the text of the Fourteenth Amendment, is to guarantee due process of law,not to sit in judgment of substantive decisions of juries.

And even on the procedural issues, as Justice Scalia noted in his concurring opinion in Glossip v. Gross, a case which itself involved a challenge to a method of execution, the Court has created “labyrinthine restrictions on capital punishment.” Today we have a system marked by seemingly endless appeals, many of which do not challenge the underlying guilt or innocence of the condemned, but rather how the killers may be put to death.

Make the Death Penalty Great Again, Again!!!
