First Australian Covid Vax, approved overseas, but instead of a medal, we sack Prof Petrovsky

Professor Nikolai Petrovsky

We’re sacking Vaccine Professors for not taking the right vaccine?

Who knew? The first traditional vaccine for Covid that’s based on protein anywhere in the world  has been approved for use. It was designed in Australia, but can’t be used here. The Professor of the team that invented it received no help from the Australian Government, and is about to be sacked from Flinders Medical Centre** because he won’t take the mandatory Pfizer, Astra Zenica or Moderna injections. What would he know — he’s just a vaccine developer?

UPDATE: The SA Govt will now recognise the Covax-19 trial participants. This is a small step but good news. Prof Petrovsky won’t be forced to quit.

Instead of the committee-approved ones, has taken his own vaccine called Covax-19 or Spikogen. It has just been approved for use in Iran where Stage 2 and 3 trials were conducted. He said he would stand by his vaccine and even accept liability, unlike all the current vaccine makers who demand waivers.

Professor Nikolai Petrovsky is hopeful though, that after “the excellent Phase 3 trial results” he will be able to get approval in many countries, maybe even in Australia? But our government-funded TGA won’t consider it until his team pays over $300,000 so they can assess it.

You’d never know the Australian government was trying to save Australians lives, or give our citizens more choices. Perhaps because they aren’t? If they were interested, they would surely find a way to fast track the assessment process and cover the trivial cost of reading a report from Iran. The Government has spent $1.9 billion on other vaccines, but can’t find 300k for the most successful Australian vaccine in years?

The situation is so comic, Petrovsky has had to resort to crowdfunding, so they can afford to pay our government to get approval. They have set up a GoFundMe page, which has already raised $290,000 out of the $326,000 already.

I’ve donated. (Don’t call me anti-vax, I put money into vaccine research🙂  )

GoFundMe:  Bring Covax-19 Vaccine back to Australia

UPDATE: Within 8 hours of posting this $36,000 was donated and the target reached. Thank you!

Judging by the comments there, there are already a thousand volunteers for a trial here.

Petrovsky tells us there are great results from the latest trial in Iran but he can’t make the resultsCoronavirus-vaccine. Photo
public yet. (He’s hoping his papers on that will be accepted so he can). He claims they meet all the FDA and other requirements to be approved. Apparently, in animal tests, after vaccination, they can challenge the animals with live virus and not only do they not fall sick, the team can find no recoverable virus in challenge tests, which is excellent. There’s no transmission to other animals either. He calls the vaccine “quasi sterilizing”. If it’s a lot less leaky that “all the rest”, it may even help mop up the nastier mutations we’re probably making by giving millions of people very leaky vaccines. Wouldn’t that be something?

Covax-19 apparently causes few side effects. Petrovsky claims there is no thrombosis, no fever, no myocarditis, and no myocardial infarction. No one needs to take a day off work…

Perhaps the biggest problem for Covax-19 is that it’s too good?

If I understand correctly, despite all these advantages, and it being home-grown, the government told him they couldn’t support a vaccine unless it was manufactured in Australia. But when he approached CSL — the main likely manufacturer in Australia — they flat out refused to even consider it. What can Petrovsky do? Maybe move to Tehran.

Right now, a certain leaky lab in Wuhan has another 19,000 samples from bat caves to play with. There are plenty of pandemics to pick from. Perhaps for the sake of National Security we need our own vaccination and pharmaceutical manufacturing base? We need supply lines and expertise here. Isn’t Covax-19 the perfect place to start?

Nuclear subs are all very well, but they can’t shoot pandemics.

Having dedicated his career to creating vaccines, Professor Petrovsky can hardly be called an anti-vaxxer. But he has safety concerns about the current rollout, and thinks mandates can’t be justified for something that is mostly done for individual benefits not for the community. He is also astonished at how fast the other vaccines were approved, and all damages waived, and doesn’t think the risk benefit can be justified at all for young children. He bemoans the lack of transparency. Don’t we all?

If Pfizer etc is so good, Why o Why are those Pfizer contracts top secret?

Comparing vaccines

A protein vaccine is a simpler creature than the new mRNA vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna). It’s simpler than Astra Zenica too, which is based on using genes inside a common cold virus vector. Novavax is also a protein vaccine (but it is not approved anywhere yet).

Like Novavax, Covax-19 uses a form of the infamous spike protein, but because the protein is made, purified and then injected, each person receives an exact known dose, and there is no need for any genetic material to be introduced inside our cells. There’s little risk of autoimmune disorders, like myocarditis, because the spike isn’t made inside our own cells and isn’t expressed on the surface of them. When healthy cells express the spike, our immune system is more likely to mistake them as a foreign threat which triggers the autoimmune disease.

The adjuvant used is also promising. An adjuvant is designed to wake up our immune systems so they pay attention to something that essentially poses no threat (in theory). In many vaccines the adjuvant is just aluminium hydroxide (would you believe), but Covax-19 doesn’t contain any heavy metals. Petrovsky uses the incredibly safe plant fibre called “inulin” plus a small oligosaccharide (a small odd type of sugar unit).

From the Interview above:

1. Why has the Australian government refused to engage with Australian vaccine creators?
2. Why has CSL refused to cooperate with Australian vaccine companies?
3. What are in those secret commercial contracts with Pfizer et al?
4. Are there clauses that prevent competition and consideration of products that are actually safer for the Australian population?

Australians need a choice of treatment, and we need our own vaccine industry.

I believe he said Covax-19 was given to 16,000 people in Iran for Phase III Clinical Trials. Yet Greg Hunt, our Minister for Health, is not supporting this venture with even $10. Do Australian lives matter? It is outrageous that CSL is failing the Australian people.

Petrovsky explains that the reason the current vaccines are not very useful is because they just don’t reduce the Ro (rate of transmission) enough. Delta has an Ro of 6 – 8, so a reduction of transmission of 20% only reduces an R0 from 6 to 5. The exponential curves won’t be much different.

Petrovsky says they use the same spike otherwise but have removed the furin cleavage site because the spike without it works better as a antigen. I wonder if without the furin cleavage site, the free-floating spikes may be less likely to get into some cells. No one asks though and Petrovsky doesn’t say.

I look forward to seeing the results. Though it’s hard to beat some antivirals, and the long term studies won’t be finished for years…

The  GoFundMe  is nearly there!

    Surely this is a clear indication as to what extent our political and public health system has been corrupted by international commercial interests. Maybe some Australian insecurity about our home-grown scientific products thrown in to boot for a good measure.

      There have been many clear indications in the past with the blocking of IVM, HCQ, etc. While I hope this is the one that changes course, there have been many times when things should have changed and the government (especially Vic) double-down.

      Perhaps many are working on the “ignorance is bliss” approach, and just follow government directives regardless…

        It is beyond bizarre that government regulators should see as their primary responsibility the protection of profits for service/product suppliers.

        There are only three possible explanations for these bans.

        1. The regulators believe that reducing suppliers’ profits will stop the supply of goods and services,
        2. Regulators are “on the take”, or
        3. The regulators are just too unintelligent to understand what they are doing.

        None of which are acceptable.

      Many governments were panicked in the early days of COVID and signed away their sovereign power to Pfizer’s control.

      A new report has been released by an established and credible organisation called Public Citizen.

      The full report can be viewed as a PDF here:

      https://richardsonpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Pfizer-power-Oct-19-final-web12544.pdf

      It quotes the written conditions of Pfizer contracts obtained from sources within nine governments.

      These include Brazil, Argentina, Albania, Colombia, and others. I think we can presume that Pfizer would have negotiated similar terms with the Australian and New Zealand governments.

      No wonder the politicians are hiding the raw deal that allows Pfizer a free reign over our people’s lives and national assets.

      Here are five samples taken from the conditions Pfizer imposes on governments that sign its contracts.

        After a year of vaccines, the EU MEPs are only now starting to demand contract details from their vaccine negotiators regarding the dodgy deals done in the name of protecting the public.

        https://alethonews.com/2021/11/03/the-eu-is-not-revealing-the-details-of-its-contracts-with-vaccine-makers-why/

        One supplier agreed to “reveal” its contract terms — 68% of the pages had at least one redaction.

        More astonishing is that not even the EU members of Parliament know the details of the agreements.

        To prove his point, the Romanian MEP held up individual pages of the CureVac contract, each one heavily redacted like some kind of imitation of artist Kazimir Malevich’s ‘Black Square.’ It doesn’t get any less concerning when we drill down to which parts of the contract were blacked out. According to an analysis conducted by Euractiv, “4.22% of the liability section and 15.38% of the indemnification section was found to be redacted, while 0% of the section on the processing of personal data was redacted.”

        Meanwhile, the contract’s annexes, which delve into the nitty-gritty details of the agreement, were redacted by some 61%. In total, almost 24% of the contract was hidden. Now ask yourself this simple question: Would you sign up for a home mortgage if it was discovered that one-quarter of the agreement was missing? I’ll crawl out on a limb and guess ‘no.’ Nor would anyone think you were ‘anti-mortgage’ or ‘mortgage hesitant’ if you did so.

          The Australian government is a sovereign entity.
          It has the power to abrogate any contract.
          The high court can cancel any contract that is injurious.
          This reminds me of the old leadership acronym.
          It must start to apply when our sovereign interest to protect our population is interfered with.
          Especially by drug companies, if it happens.
          Some lead, others follow, the rest get out of the way.

    This is the sort of “reporting” that Australians need access to as it illustrates the things that need changing.

    This Australian Vaxxine denial stands alongside the earlier demolition of Australian manufacturing, the sale of natural Australian water to overseas interests at the expense of our farmers, the takeover of an Australian island to the detriment of original owners plus the “rental” of Australian ports to overseas interests.

    While all of the above might just be the tip of the iceberg, there’s no doubt that those in positions of trust have been very busy selling off our national assets rather than building a solid nation.

    Twenty years ago I was given an insight into the medical approval process surrounding the use of SSRIs and the detail was disturbing to say the least and so now, with CV19 Vaxxines, the possibility that the “approved” Vaxxes may not be all that useful is not surprising.

    History will repeat until such time as we have massive Clean out of our national systems.

    Internal CDC emails Show Why They Changed the Definition of “Vaccines” and What it Means to be “Vaccinated”

    November 2, 2021 | Sundance | 218 Comments

    TechnoFog submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to see what was happening inside the CDC, as they discussed needing to change the definitions of “vaccine” and “vaccination” in order to get past the problematic issue of their supported products not actually providing immunity from the COVID-19 virus or any variant thereof.

    Within the internal emails [SEE HERE], the officials within the health industry knew they had a problem because their push to vaccinate everyone would not generate any immunity from the virus itself.

    Rather than deal with the problem of a non-effective vaccine, the officials discussed, modified and then eventually just changed the definition of what a vaccine is intended to do:

    Novavax is also a protein vaccine (but it is not approved anywhere yet).

    Indonesia is first to approve Novavax Covid vaccine

    Issued on: 01/11/2021 – 16:00

    Indonesia, hard-hit by the coronavirus pandemic, became the first country to approve the new vaccine for Covid-19 created by US-based Novavax, the company announced Monday.

    The approval will give Indonesia, which has strained to obtain adequate supplies of coronavirus vaccine for its 270 million people, first access to the vaccine, which will be manufactured in India under the brand Covovax.

    The vaccine uses a different technology than those which already have gained general approval and circulated around the world.

    Unlike the mRNA products from BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna and Curevac, Novavax’s two-jab vaccine relies on a more traditional technique, using proteins to carry fragments of the coronavirus rendered harmless to produce an immune reaction.

    Jo, thank you so much for this informative post. Although I have listened to the interview before, you explained so many details of the mechanics of his vaccine that I did not comprehend.

    The privatisation of CSL was a great mistake, although, given the politics & the contractual relationships with the vaccine companies, it is unlikely that CSL would have taken on Covax19.

    Hopefully, once Prof. Petrovsky’s vaccine is put before the TDA, there will be enough public pressure for it to be approved. Maybe Clive Palmer could be persuaded to use his enormous resources to do something incredibly worthwhile & finance any future manufacture of this promising vaccine.

    It is a diabolical era in which we live – we can only hope.

    The Single minded pursuit of Mandatory Vaccination with RNA/DNA vaccines by our Health Officials has become quite sinister. All alternatives are rejected and people who asking why are vilified and called misinformers and conspiracy theorists.

      Your welfare is not what political leaders have at heart

      The video is titled, “PRESS CONFERENCE-EU PARLIAMENT OPPOSES MANDATE AGENDA 30/10/2021. She is dead on, and she has never even heard of Daniel Andrews. People in government, she says, have agendas of their own. Political “elites” could not care less about your personal welfare. Listen to it through. She explains why she will not be commanded to be vaxxed. She is “a free citizen”. No vax mandates.

      There is then this worth bearing in mind: Victoria’s plan to keep unvaccinated locked up until 2023 blasted.

      Personally, I think Andrews is still feeling the humiliation of having overseen the highest number of Covid deaths in Australia. Victoria accounts for 1134 out of 1448 covid deaths across Australia, 78.3% of the total covid death rate. And even still case numbers proliferate in Victoria where they have become near invisible everywhere else.

      Andrews thinks he is always the smartest man in the room and here was the absolutely undeniable evidence that he is actually the stupidest and overwhelmingly the most incompetent political leader, certainly in Australia, possibly anywhere in the world.

    I want to know who exactly is telling our politicians and senior public serpents what to think.

    Full disclosure is required!

    I have previously stated here that I thought it was significant that the “Health” Minister Hunt has mentioned that mRNA “vaccines” are the way forward.

    Why would he specify the mRNA part in his description? Why wouldn’t he just say “vaccine”?

    He has been told what to say. He is only a stupid politician. He himself wouldn’t know the difference between mRNA and a box of rocks.

      Unvaccinated are ‘still kidding themselves’

      Ruby Princess Health Minister Brad Hazzard has warned that there are still some New South Welshmen who have failed to comprehend the severity of contracting Covid-19.

      “Let’s not kid ourselves, the virus is still there, it’s becoming a little less dangerous to the majority of the community because most of us have been out and getting vaccinated,” the NSW Health Minister said on Tuesday.

      “Some of us are still kidding ourselves about not getting vaccinated and that there will be a better outcome (otherwise) … and no, it is not.”

      Mr Hazzard said he had come across residents who have chosen to wait for a “new” vaccine to arrive in the near future.

      “There are some people who are still hanging out for different vaccines. I’ve spoken to people who think we’ll see new vaccines coming into NSW,” he said. “I don’t think so – we’re awash at the moment with Pfizer. Let’s get real, folks.”

        The “unvaxxed” are being set up for a position as scapegoats.

        I fully expect the Left will promote hysteria and violence against the unvaxxed, the untermenschen.

        In Vicdanistan Andrews’ proposed “dictator for life” legislation will enable him to round up “certain classes of people” and relocate them elsewhere, e.g. the “quarantine camps” he is building right now.

        The camp(s) will have the Orwellian name of “The Centre for National Resilience”.

        I wonder if “guests” will also see “Albeit Macht Frei” written over the main gate?

          Hatred For The Unvaxxed Comes From A Place Of Emotion, Not Reason

          When COVID-braving Dennis Prager said he contracted it purposely in order “to be taken care of by therapeutics,” the public outcry was more life-threatening than the virus. He must be made to pay for any treatment he gets. He should be denied a hospital bed. Another conservative talk show host spreads his disease.

          Every story speaks of a mini plague and every ending is a blameworthy death. Is fear driving the paranoia? What’s to hate in one who makes a choice and takes the consequences, and is content to let others do so? And why is it doctors who seem more prone to arousal? The unvaccinated are despised with incomprehensible ardor.

          the VAERS numbers for America? There, you find 17,128 vaccine-related deaths; 2,631 miscarriages; 8,408 heart attacks; 10,304 Myocarditis; 83,412 hospitalizations, etc. Yes, the stats come with a precaution: causality is not proven.

          Speaking of causality, how many recorded COVID deaths were not, in fact, attributable to COVID

          Get vaxxed, for our own good, but also for the greater good of society. The vaxxed, we’re told, remain scared of COVID. The vaccine failed to fulfill its first promise to immunize. All must therefore get jabbed, again and again and again. All must expect the vaccine to fail to immunize, as it failed the already vaxxed. Get three shots to satisfy that nebulous concoction, the “greater good”? Well, no. For every life saved, the vaccination has been taking nine lives. (No cats intended.)

      The Pfizer contract with Brazil is obscene and in normal cases illegal. For example, Pfizer wanted state own infrastructure as collateral such as sea ports and airline companies for vaccines they may or may not provide. If the vaccines prove to be toxic then the government will pay all bills including Pfizers defence.

      If Australia has signed an equivalent contract it would explain their irrational behaviour and lack of support for antivirals and homegrown vaccines.

      What is not mentioned but coincidently three presidents of small nations such as Haiti, who were opposed to the vaccines suddenly died. The Haitian president was shot by an American doctor. The other two died unexpectedly. After their deaths all three governments decided to embrace the vaccines.

    The fact that the inventor of a proper traditional vaccine gets sacked and the vaccine has to be first used overseas tells you everything you need to know about Australia.

    It’s certainly not the “clever” country. Perhaps it was for a brief time in the 1950’s and 1960’s, certainly not now.

    Most Australians are now ignorant, cowering and scared of just about everything (but nothing they should actually be concerned about like the increasing totalitarianism and censorship of unapproved opinions by the Left.)

      I disagree. The people are still clever as evidenced by a traditional vaccine being invented here without government support.

      It is governments and particularly administrative government who best fit the description in your final paragraph.

      The single most damaging thing anybody could say is “the government should”. Far better to say “Let’s go Brandon” even if it was inspired overseas.

      My proposal is to put all government employees on three months leave. Anybody who is actually missed by a member of the public can return to work. The rest can far cough.

        I finally switched to some music after a cop26 attendee from Fidgi complained about the slow movement towards collecting the full 100 billion dollars of the CO2 fund.

        The speaker was from a Pacific church group concerned about sea level rise etc: and their 2 pussent share of the collection plate.

      And, with most Australian soils being “low” in zinc, less of it makes it into edible plants.

      Keen gardeners will know the symptoms of low zinc in their soils: Leaf discolouration (yellowing). Zinc is essential in the process whereby plants produce chlorophyll. Poor chlorophyll levels , poor photosynthesis. Poor nutrient uptake; Low Zinc. Like many other things in Nature; a cyclic relationship.

      BTW, you can overdo the dosing of your prized veges, too. “Zinc toxicity is an actual problem.

      Funny how “dose rate” is so important in so many things….

      So, if Australians are getting insufficient dietary Zinc from locally produced food, immune functions, and other various bit and pieces, also cease optimal function. Who ‘da thunk it?

      It’s not like there is no Zinc on the Continent, it’s just that there is very little in surface soils. A thousand feet below Mount Isa, it’s a different story.

    Just because a “vaccine” is developed by an Australian does not mean that 1 year, 3 year, 5 year and 10 year safety data should not be available before it is approved for use.

    It normally takes over a decade to properly test and approve a new vaccine so that both short-term and longer-term side effects are identified and understood.

    The human immune system is the result of millions of years of evolutionary development and should not be messed with just because dumb politicians believe they know better than the world’s leading virologists.

      How about we “crowd fund” approval for Ivermectin? It has exceeded the required timeline for ALL negative event indications by many times. The only result left to be confirmed is its action against COVID. By all indications so far Ivermectin can safely be considered to be “Covid Kryptonite”

      Vid by Drbeen on Engeneic vax from OZ.
      He describes the novel mode of action etc.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy6di8l4iwE

      This is a rough description of the process by a commenter on another site:

      I watched an explanation video on Dr Mobeen Syeds YT channel describing this new nano-cell targeted vaccine and it’s got me interested. The technology works using a few tricks but in a nutshell they managed to bias bacterial cells so that during division it creates a nano-cell packet, (essentially an empty cell), to which adjuvants, spike protein etc. can be added inside. The second trick is that they managed to attach an antigen to the cell that will be directed to a very specific target, (in this case macrophages), such that the cell contents only get released once ingested by the macrophages, so along with the adjuvant to call up the T-cells, this creates this taught immunity. (there’s one other ingredient he spoke about but it slips my memory just now). Anyway he noted that the advantages were that the spike proteins would not be free floating through the body, going only to the targeted cells and also the recipe of the components would mean that it can be stored at room temperature. Apparently it’s currently starting its first human trials but if it can do what it claims, would this not be potentially the “safest” offering out there? Does anyone know anything more about this vaccine particularly why or why not this claim may be valid?

      I cannot see any real immediate benefit from going to the time and cost of approval for ANOTHER injectable “vaccine” when there is already a great of evidence for an alternative that demonstrates massive positive outcomes with very low toxicity, (In some countries could accurately be referred to as, COVID KRYPTONITE) from already performed and documented trials from pharmaceuticals that have been in use for decades and only need approval for this specific treatment. The FEE from TGA of $326000.00 is miniscule when compared to the financial benefits stemming from an early solution to the problem.Is the Government prevented from following this course of action due to the constrictions they have agreed to in the Pfizer contract(That we are not allowed to see) due to, in the Governments own words “National Security”

    Has this new vaccine been developed in accordance with The Nurenberg Code and the Helsinki Declaration?

    The history of so-called COVID-19 vaccines provides evidence that ” a priori reason to
    believe that death or disabling injury will occur”.

    3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal
    experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other
    problem under study that the anticipated results justify the performance of the
    experiment.

    5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to
    believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those
    experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.

    COVID and the Shadow of Original Antigenic Sin – A Primer

    This primer is a summary of the magnificent work of Eugyppius over the last week or so. In a series of posts, principally, here and here, he fashions an argument that a universal vaccination campaign:

    may permanently compromise immunity to SARS-2, via Original Antigenic Sin — the phenomenon, long observed in the antibody response to influenza infections, that initial exposure to a pathogen (or a spike protein) shapes all subsequent immune responses to mutated, recombined or reassorted instances of that pathogen. Our Corona vaccines elicit antibodies against the spike protein alone, while natural infection provokes antibodies against other virus proteins as well, including the nucleocapsid or N protein. The broad spectrum of natural immune response is why recovered individuals enjoy much greater and longer-lasting protection, than people who have been merely vaccinated.

    Of course, you would imagine that immunologists and public health experts would be well aware of Original Antigenic Sin and the problems it might establish for a universal vaccination campaign. So what was there riposte and what is the counter riposte:

    Original Antigenic Sin was most influentially described by Thomas Francis in 1960. He noted that, regardless of whatever influenza A strains were in circulation, subjects tended to have dominant antibody responses to the strains that were current in their early childhood:

    This is precisely the danger we are now facing. We are attempting to vaccinate the entire population using a particular feature – the spike protein – of COVID prevalent in 2020. In doing so, we may be, via original antigenic sin, denying the emergence of broad spectrum immunity (in individuals) and layered immunity (across the generations) in our society. As Eugyppius concludes:

      The Disappearance of Influenza

      eugyppius Aug 6

      The flu is gone. This is not an illusion. It’s not down to the wilful or mistaken misdiagnosis of Corona or anything like that. Most countries have long-standing influenza surveillance programs, entire offices of people whose job it is to find and track the flu. These programs are still running, and influenza tests are still widely administered across the world. Despite all of this searching, nobody can find anything but a few outliers. As a seasonal phenomenon in the northern and southern hemispheres, influenza has disappeared.

      Everything suggests that Corona has displaced influenza. Even if we can’t identify or even really conceive of the mechanism, Corona begins to resemble an invasive species that has disturbed the ecology of human-infecting respiratory viruses. Nobody will talk about this, because they are eager to claim any victory they can for mass containment. The absence of flu must be ascribed to lockdowns, even though flu is gone even in countries that have not locked down.

      Respiratory viruses all have regional and seasonal features. That is to say, they rise and fall according to complex, intertwining, regionally varying temporal patterns. Throughout the northern hemisphere, mild yet robust rhinoviruses have a dual fall-spring seasonality. They surge before the winter viruses and after influenza, as if to avoid these heavier hitters. Most other commonly surveilled respiratory viruses, including human coronaviruses, peak around the winter solstice or just after. Influenza, finally, surges just as all these deep-winter viruses are receding, infecting the greatest number of people around March. These patterns shed curious light on the second and third waves of the Corona pandemic.

    The Australian Government goes into debt at the rate of $6000 per second. The TGA submission could have been paid for with 50 seconds worth of debt expenditure. I am normally strongly opposed to useless government spending, which much of it is, but this would have been worthwhile.

    Since the Government is comfortable spending without constraint, their unwillingness to forego this spending means they only want Big Pharma access to the Australian vaccine market.

    I looked at the Gofundme page but keep getting “unknown error” if attempting to donate.
    Can we trust the (pharma funded & govt controlled) TGA to provide an honest product evaluation anyway?
    Won’t the big pharma contracts negate any possibility of the use of Covax here?

    These guys are interesting: Fenton, Neil and McLachlan, Queen Mary University of London.
    They’ve done some more recent work, trying to reverse-engineer the data from ONS, so it can be more useful. But here’s what they wrote in September:
    (hat tip to someone around these parts).

    We could immediately evaluate the effectiveness to date of vaccines in the UK by simply looking at the registered deaths since the start of
    the vaccination programme in December 2020. All we need to know for each registered death is the person’s age and whether they received at least one dose of the vaccine before death. Although a longer period would, of course, be better it is still sufficiently long to show a real effect if the vaccines work as claimed and if Covid19 is as deadly as claimed.

    Moving forward we should certainly be collecting this simple data, but our concern is that (in many countries) the ‘control group’ (i.e.
    unvaccinated) may soon not be large enough for such a simple evaluation.

    Joni Ernst introduces the “FAUCI Act” and I’m still laughing

    I don’t know if they’ll be able to find a single Democrat in either chamber to vote for the bill that Joni Ernst just introduced, but they really should pass this thing, if only for some badly needed humorous relief during a contentious political season. The FAUCI Act seeks to ban American funding of gain-of-function research in China and would require a full investigation into how American tax dollars were spent inside the secretive walls of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. The acronym is the major selling point here because it stands for the “Fairness and Accountability in Underwriting Chinese Institutions Act.” She’s also (likely intentionally) calling out the mainstream media’s mishandling of this story from the beginning, constantly taking Fauci’s side even after we learned that he was absolutely wrong on this question.

      David, you are in our prayers. Most people seem to escape any short term effects, and the long term effects are unknown – as is life in general for us all, after all!

      Advice: put yourself on a daily regime of Vit C, Vit D3, Zinc, &, if you can obtain it, Quercetin. Also CoenzymeQ10 (CoQ10) is a magnificent anti-oxidant. These should bolster your immune system significantly. A low dose aspirin, like Cardia, would also be warranted because of your age.

      I am not a (medical) doctor, but none of these supplements are injurious, as far as I know, and all are part of the protocol recommended by some pretty eminent physicians and virologists.

      Me? I take most of the above on a daily basis, and have recently added a daily anti-histamine because of 1) the impressive analysis & observations of the Indian doctor Dr. Shankara Chetty re treatment of COVID and 2) because it is a terrible hay fever season!

      David I’m sorry and angered at your loss of medical choice due to a mandate, which by the way is not a law, and life becomes impossible when people follow it out of fear or ignorance.

      My wife is double vaxed against her wishes in order to travel to WA but that looks less likely by the day with their dictator in waiting.

      So I found a Spanish doctor amongst others that use this protocol, https://www.orwell.city/2021/07/antioxidants.html

      Thanks to scientific articles we have seen, we know that every antioxidant, especially the master antioxidant glutathione, degrades graphene oxide. Glutathione can reduce even to zero its toxicity. And we have demonstrated that.

      We and others have started the above protocols with great results, NAC and Zinc is the basics but the others are easily obtained and proven treatments over the covid hysteria, for the modest outlay I recommend it we even had one person remove the magnetism from their arm where they were jabbed in under two weeks, something must be working.

    Demand proof! This is not about vaccine hesitancy, it is about choice governed by hard statistical data. According to the principle, “The first rule of medicine is do no harm. The second rule of medicine is to protect the privacy of your patient.” As this is to be believed as null and void at this very moment, it can be contested.

    As you have been reading, there are a plethora of vaccines available. Novavax for example, even Sputnik V lite. All these vaccines have passed clinical Stage 3 trials supported by statistical data including adverse affects. This is the information, any Health Minister must provide. Like any workplace must provide a Material Safety Data Sheet on any product used that may have adverse affects to persons in the workplace.

    They also must adhere to the laws they have created. Full stop!

    “The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience.”

    See also:

    A quote from a bloke called Ian Watson:

    “If you have to be persuaded, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized.
    If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance.

    Interesting news comments this morning on local news station illustrating transparency in government. Ninety two percent of Colorado’s ICU beds are full. Thirteen hundred of those beds are Covid related. What is the percentage of Covid beds compared to total beds? Not stated. Comparing apples to grapefruit. And our governor, King Jared the second, has signed an executive order which allows Covid patients to be moved anywhere at any time, without their knowledge or permission.
    From web search, “As of today, with the number of hospitalizations that we have, we are at almost 90% of our ICU beds occupied in the state of Colorado,” Bookman said. “That means that we have approximately 120 ICU beds available across the entire state.” (90% occupied, 120 available (10%). But there are 1,300 in hospital with Covid.
    When you attempt to find total number of ICU beds in the state of Colorado…well, you try it.
    Looks to me like there is an effort to cloud this issue as much as possible.

    Great article Jo. One comment: aluminium is hardly a heavy metal. Its atomic number is 13 which makes it one of the lightest metals, with only a few metals being lighter (lithium, beryllium, sodium and magnesium). The expression “heavy metal” refers to the likes of cadmium (48) or mercury (80). These heavy metals are often quite toxic and hard for the body to excrete, which accounts for their bad reputation.

    Keep up the good work! Cheers.

It’s also attenuated. mRNA and viral vector instruct the body to manufacture the spike protein and this could conceivably continue to be manufactured ongoing and it could end up anywhere. No one really knows as these are experimental ‘vaccines’.

    CSL was a spin-off from the Fed Health Dept. Taxpayers funded the manufacturing facilities so they should be available to all Australian vaccine companies. CSL operates like a monopoly. Where’s the ACCC?

    Never lose sight of geopolitics when trying to understand the ‘goings on’ associated with this whole covid debarcle. It is just another part of the arms race. Normally germ warfare is not a good option because it will sooner or later come back to bight and bight hard. This all changes when you entrench a system of regular vaccination shots to your entire population. When a germ warfare attack comes back to bight, it does not bight a prevaccinated population quite so hard. I wonder who will get in the first strike? It’s the unipolar teams last best chance to thwart the rapid rise of competing multipolar powers. Matthew 24:22 comes to mind. I am no prophet but I sure as heck can see what ‘blind Freddy’ can see.
