https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/an-open-letter-to-the-austrian-parliament An open letter to the Austrian Parliament from retired Univ. Prof. Dr. med. Diether Schönitzer A blood specialist weighs in on the proposed Austrian Covid 19 mandatory vaccination law planned for February 1, 2022. Sadly, nobody listens to scientists anymore so his voice will be ignored. Steve Kirsch4 hr ago Univ. Prof. Dr. med. Diether Schönitzer, a blood specialist, weighs in on the proposed Austrian Covid 19 mandatory vaccination law planned for February 1, 2022. Below, I’ve translated the original comment to make it easier to read. Basically, he says the vaccines harm people and shouldn’t be mandated. He calls out experts who look the other way on these harms. I reproduce it here just for the record. It shows that there are experts (who have no conflicts of interest) who are willing to speak out. Retired experts are the most honest since there is much less fear of retribution. Now, you’d think that there would be more retired experts in the US speaking out, but I guess few people want to wreck their retirement in this country. Professor Schönitzer’s comment to the Austrian Parliament Original here. Bold highlights are mine. Opinion Opinion on motion 2173 / A by MPs Gabriela Schwarz, Ralph Schallmeiner, colleagues on a federal law on mandatory vaccination against COVID-19 (COVID-19 mandatory vaccination law - COVID-19-IG) Contents Ladies and gentlemen, I take the liberty of making a factual and technical opinion and an objection to the introduction of the Covid 19 mandatory vaccination law planned for February 1, 2022. I see my qualification for this objection justified as follows: I am retired Univ. Prof. of the University of Innsbruck and worked from 1968 to 2005 at the "Central Institute for Blood Transfusion and Immunological Department" (a state primary clinic), initially as an assistant doctor, then as an Executive senior physician and finally worked on the board for 17 years. The central topic of our daily work was the immunological assurance of the tolerance of the blood cells to be transfused, in particular the red blood cells and platelets, as well as the testing of tissue characteristics for organ and stem cell transplants. It was important to carefully select blood products according to blood groups and to take any antibodies against these cells into account. If necessary, patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemias also had to receive transfusions. The cause of these diseases is, among other things, the administration of various drugs that can give rise to a change in the surface of the blood cells. These changes result in neo-antigens that are recognized by the patient's immune system as foreign and lead to the death of these blood cells. The underlying degradation mechanisms are part of the basic immunological knowledge of doctors and can be confirmed in detail by laboratory tests. This brings me straight to the administration of mRNA-containing substances that are incorrectly referred to as vaccines or serums and after penetrating the bloodstream first penetrate the vascular wall cells and subsequently lead to the formation of spike proteins on the surface of the vascular wall cells. These spikes actually act as foreign antigens (similar to drug-induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia) and are supposed to lead to the formation of antibodies and thus to immunity. The problem, however, is that the spikes adhere to the body's own cells for at least a certain period of time, probably permanently, and the activated killer cells or antibodies (if the vaccination works!) Destroy the cells of the vaccinated person that are externally marked with spikes. The consequence is an immunological cell and tissue destruction in the vaccinated persons, which leads to the well-known thromboembolism, to the destruction of heart muscle cells, lung and kidney tissue, and ultimately to exhaustion of the immune system. Booster vaccinations intensify these effects because fresh spikes that have arisen from the booster encounter antibodies that have now formed. As a result, there is a high probability that acute and autoimmune reactions will arise as long-term consequences and dormant infections such as tuberculosis will be reactivated, which will endanger the health system more than is possible due to the proportion of healthy, vaccine-critical non-vaccinated people. In the latter, a relatively high natural immunization rate must be expected because weak and subclinical courses are not recorded. The introduction of a mandatory vaccination with administrative penalties for non-vaccinating people, which can bring many people to their limits of existence, is not proportionate, so I expressly advise against the introduction of mandatory vaccination in generaland in particular with the use of genetic material-containing ingredients. Punishments are a means of pressure that leads to psychological stress on our fellow human beings, so that compulsory vaccination de facto becomes compulsory (!). It is frightening that colleagues including so-called experts who, out of immunological ignorance and / or disinterest, or under pressure, disregard the Hippocratic oath and advise their patients and their children to vaccinate or carry out the latter themselves!

This is huge. Please don’t take this jab. If you already did, DO NOT TAKE A BOOSTER! This brings me straight to the administration of mRNA-containing substances that are incorrectly referred to as vaccines or serums and after penetrating the bloodstream first penetrate the vascular wall cells and subsequently lead to the formation of spike proteins on the surface of the vascular wall cells. These spikes actually act as foreign antigens (similar to drug-induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia) and are supposed to lead to the formation of antibodies and thus to immunity.

I’m so worried for my daughter who is a nurse-works in NY where our #%#%. Governor just announced mandatory boosters. I was unhappy and worried when she got initial jabs last March. All to keep her job. She has shown no short term reactions. But ironically she just got Omicron 2 weeks ago. (And got original Covid before vaccine available on Nov 2o20). This is portion of letter she got from her hospital today saying she needs to get jabbed even after having Covid. It’s at best not scientifically accurate or supported by evidence. At worst , it’s an out and our lie: o If you have recently had Covid-19, you will still need to receive a booster once you are out of isolation. Natural antibodies are less potent compared to the antibodies developed after booster vaccination. I’m furious with this statement. There are no studies /data that I am aware of to support it. Further, I believe there are actually studies that demonstrate the exact opposite- natural immunity provides equal if not better immunity compared to vaccines. I know there are so many knowledgeable people on the forum and if anyone can point me to literature to refute this statement I would appreciate it. With that said, I’m not sure it will matter because this is not being governed by data and science- it’s all politics and control. Bottom line - if my daughter wants to keep her job, she will need to get booster. We’ve already strongly advised no , but she is a married woman - out of our house and I’m afraid she will acquiesce.
I used to watch Marilyn Hickey in the 70's. I think personally the covid threat is deadly real and often mortal. I read all the articles and I try to balance them out figuring truth is somewhere in the middle but what I know from talking to MD friends around here--'its real and its destructive and some very sad cases it is fatal. Doctors and nurses are fatigued and discouraged. Many are leaving the profession because of burnout. Our hospitals here are maxed out with covid patients. None of this is good. No human solutions seem to eradicate it. And vaxxed and non vaxxed people both get very sick with it--young and middle aged and old. It leaves a lasting footprint often on those who survive. Heart issues and lung issues and blood clots etc. Its time to acknowledge our need for God (yes Pope Francis and our Bishops I am talking to you and to myself along with rest of your sheep) Public penance and public prayers and processions. Our Holy Father must pray mea culpas from the public square. If we all manifest Full scale repentance perhaps God will relent and still send a blessing. (Book of Joel "sound the trumpet in Zion..."
More crazy…. So they point to this study and say hey its ok if a woman’s menstrual cycle is changed by the vaccine because it’s just a little changed! Do any other vaccines do that? Do other vaccines alter any naturally occurring systems in the human body? No ! Because if they did they would be pulled. I’m not a scientists but clearly the vac is playing with hormones and who knows long term effects. But yet this too is accepted. Ugh https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/covid-vaccines-do-disrupt-menstrual-cycles-new-study-reveals

The study found those who were once infected with COVID-19 were less likely to get the delta variant, develop symptoms or become hospitalized with a serious case of COVID than vaccinated individuals who were never infected, according to a report in the peer-reviewed journal Science. The study also found those who were previously infected with COVID and received one dose of the vaccine were even more protected against the delta variant. “This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer-lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity. Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta variant,” the study said. The study pointed out its unique nature. Trending: Way Worse Than Jan. 6: The Time Leftists Blew 15' Crater in US Capitol, Breached with Literal Bomb “This is the largest real-world observational study comparing natural immunity, gained through previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, to vaccine-induced immunity, afforded by the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine,” the study said. “Our large cohort, enabled by Israel’s rapid rollout of the mass-vaccination campaign, allowed us to investigate the risk for additional infection – either a breakthrough infection in vaccinated individuals or reinfection in previously infected ones – over a longer period than thus far described.” In the Science report, Meredith Wadman wrote it was a good news/ bad news situation. “The study demonstrates the power of the human immune system, but infectious disease experts emphasized that this vaccine and others for COVID-19 nonetheless remain highly protective against severe disease and death,” she wrote, noting the risk of the disease is such that people should not seek to be intentionally infected. Are the COVID experts just guessing when they make policy pronouncements? Wadman noted the report could impact policy because “Vaccine mandates don’t necessarily exempt those who had a SARS-CoV-2 infection already and the current U.S. recommendation is that they be fully vaccinated,” adding that some experts believe those already infected should get one dose of the vaccine and no more. “It’s a textbook example of how natural immunity is really better than vaccination,” said Charlotte Thålin, a physician and immunology researcher at Danderyd Hospital and the Karolinska Institute. “To my knowledge, it’s the first time [this] has really been shown in the context of COVID-19.” There is a caution. While the study shows the benefits of natural immunity, it “doesn’t take into account what this virus does to the body to get to that point,” said Marion Pepper, an immunologist at the University of Washington, Seattle. “We continue to underestimate the importance of natural infection immunity … especially when [infection] is recent,” said Eric Topol, a physician-scientist at Scripps Research. “And when you bolster that with one dose of vaccine, you take it to levels you can’t possibly match with any vaccine in the world right now.” Writing in the Spectator, columnist Ross Clark offered his take on the study. Related: Woman Charged with Child Endangerment After 'Quarantining' Her COVID-Positive Son in Dangerous Location The study “suggests that the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine — so impressive in trials — is not strong enough to bring about the kind of herd immunity we might have gained by letting the virus pass through the population,” he wrote. “It also suggests that we might be wasting our time trying to foist jabs on the young when they may have gained better, stronger immunity to COVID through natural infection.” “But one of the most interesting issues is the new light it sheds on the debate over vaccinating children; perhaps it is better to simply allow them to be infected on the grounds they’re highly unlikely to come to serious harm but are more likely to gain lasting immunity from the disease that way.” Truth and Accuracy Submit a Correction → We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism.

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/intensive-care-doctor-tells-sajid-175929216.html Intensive care doctor tells Sajid Javid: this is why I’m refusing the Covid vaccine Will Bolton Fri, 7 January 2022, 5:59 pm Health Secretary Sajid Javid talking to a consultant, Steve James, who has spoken about his refusal to be vaccinated despite working in intensive care since the start of the pandemic - Stefan Rousseau/PA Wire A hospital consultant has told the Health Secretary he refused to be vaccinated because he has immunity from being "antibody" positive after exposure to the virus. Steve James, a consultant anaesthetist at King's College Hospital in London, who has worked in the ICU since early 2020 treating Covid patients, told Sajid Javid why he did not believe in vaccination. The Health Secretary politely expressed his disagreement and urged the public to get boosted during his visit. Mr James told the PA news agency he did not believe Covid-19 was causing "very significant problems" for young people, adding that his patients in the ICU had been "extremely overweight" with multiple other co-morbidities. He said the Health Secretary did not seem to agree with him but had listened to his opinion. "I wouldn't say he agreed with me," he said. "I had the feeling he was listening." A spokesperson for King College Hospital said: "While currently it is not a mandatory requirement for staff to get their Covid-19 vaccination or disclose their vaccine status to patients, we strongly support and encourage all our staff to get their jab, in line with national guidance - and nearly 90per cent of our staff have already done so." In December, MPs approved mandatory vaccinations for NHS and social care staff by April this year. During the visit on Friday, the Health Secretary said he wanted to thank NHS workers across the country for "the amazing work they've been doing throughout this pandemic but particularly during these current challenging times". 'Rocky few weeks ahead' But Mr Javid also warned hospital admissions were rising and that the NHS was facing a "rocky few weeks ahead". He said: "We are in a stronger position than we were last year thanks to the vaccinations and the testing, we have boosted more people in this country than in any other country in Europe, we've got more antivirals per head than any other country in Europe, we're testing more people per head than any other country in Europe." He added: "The best thing anyone can do if they haven't already is get boosted or get your first or second jab if you haven't had one." During the visit he said the intensive care unit for Covid patients had an estimated 70 per cent of patients unvaccinated and that this was a "reminder to us all" of the importance of vaccination. Asked about his reported opposition to relaxing international travel testing rules, Mr Javid said: "I want to see more travel open up - I want to see it being made as easy as it possibly can be and it should always be a balance of caution and approach", adding the approach announced this week was the "right balance". On hospitals declaring critical incidents, he said there was a need for health services to "work together" due to the "workforce pressures" hospitals are facing.
Average age of death from covid is 82. Let's protect the elderly and vulnerable and let the rest of us get on with our lives and take the risk of daily living. In England you are more likely to die by drowning than die from the omnicron variant of covid.
In many countries such as Ireland there was no excess mortality in 2020. Statisticians and genealogists of the future will wonder in what year was the raging covid pandemic?
Ireland 31,140 deaths in 2018 31, 116 deaths 2019 31,134 deaths 2020 Where is the pandemic in 2020? They locked down society and took emergency powers that they have used to impose passports taking away civil liberties. Waken up and smell the coffee Ireland.
In case you missed it, an insurance ceo in us said deaths for 18-64 year olds are up 40% from pre-pandemic. Key part of article: Most of the claims for deaths being filed are not classified as COVID-19 deaths, Davison said. “What the data is showing to us is that the deaths that are being reported as COVID deaths greatly understate the actual death losses among working-age people from the pandemic. It may not all be COVID on their death certificate, but deaths are up just huge, huge numbers.” He said at the same time, the company is seeing an “uptick” in disability claims, saying at first it was short-term disability claims, and now the increase is in long-term disability claims. So in US deaths are up….but at least per this person (and I under stand other companies have similar data), it begs the question, what is causing it? https://www.thecentersquare.com/ind...cle_71473b12-6b1e-11ec-8641-5b2c06725e2c.html
There was a man in his 50's who worked on the family farm here, and who was described in his obit as "strong as an ox", and who looked like an ox in his photo, died suddenly after Christmas. Buried from the church where he was baptized and made his Sacraments. I worked with his father for several years. This was a good family.
Daniel Joseph “Danny” Churilla passed away suddenly on January 5, 2022. Danny was born at Calvert Memorial Hospital on May 25, 1968. The fifth child of Michael and Bernarda McGuirk Churilla, Danny grew up in Long Beach. He was an avid swimmer and liked to go fishing. In his early life, he was a lifeguard and worked in pool maintenance. Danny spent many summers at his sister, Cynthia’s farm in Georgia. He was a good horse rider and farm worker, cleaning horse stalls and feeding the chickens. He was as strong as an ox and dug many a hole to install fencing.
Mike…we here understand completely the pain and frustration you feel. I’m betting this quandary exist in most families now. All we can do is share the truth and pray. It’s a nightmare, just give it to God….only He is in control now.
