How the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna Vaccines Work

I've included here a good description of how the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna mRNA "vaccines" work. It's taken from an article in Signs of the Times (sott.net) on 30th January 2021.

The technique that was used to produce the Moderna vaccine is the same that was used producing the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. A piece of messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is inserted into a fat globule made of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles come in many shapes and forms and are made among others from fats, proteins, polymers, metals, silica and carbon. The term "nano" refers to the size of the particles and says nothing about the material used. For use in medicine, nanoparticles are available that are made of polymers, proteins and fats.

In the specific case of Pfizer/BioNTech's and Moderna's mRNA vaccines, the nanoparticle is a fat globule that serves as packaging of the mRNA. This allows the mRNA to pass the barrier of the cell membrane of the body's own cells. In this way, the mRNA is delivered to the cell where it can do its job. The nanoparticle is composed of fatty acids - phospholipids - which organise themselves in the form of a sphere so that the nanoparticles are soluble in water. These phospholipids form the outer layer demonstrated in the illustration below. Another fatty acid with a positive charge binds and protects the mRNA and these are visible as light blue spheres in the illustration. A third component of the fat globule is cholesterol, which stabilises the fat globule. A final component of these nanoparticles is the polyethylene glycol (PEG), which extends the half-life of the fat globule, making it less likely to disintegrate. Animal studies have actually shown that these nanoparticles have another important function as "packaging materials": they cause different types of immune system cells to travel to the injection site.

There are several types of polyethylene glycol, designated by a number such as PEG2000 or PEG3350. This number indicates the molecular weight of the PEG used. Polyethylene glycol PEG2000 is used in both the Pfizer/BioNTech and the Moderna vaccines. It is strongly suspected that this component has caused anaphylactic reactions in susceptible individuals. The risk of an anaphylactic reaction to vaccination with the mRNA vaccines is not known precisely, however it is estimated that for every 100,000 people that are vaccinated with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, 1 will have an anaphylactic reaction. This probability is about 10x higher than it would be for classical vaccines. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advise people who previously had an anaphylactic reaction to any of the components of these mRNA vaccines to not be allowed to get the vaccine. The problem, however, is that people often don't know, and in addition, at least one case of anaphylaxis was reported in a 32-year-old Alaskan woman who was not aware that she had any type of allergy.

We will now come to the mRNA in the vaccine. This is the "active" component of the vaccine. The purpose of a vaccine based on the mRNA technique is that instead of the body's own cells producing proteins, now the mRNA takes over this production of proteins for a period of time so that it is able to create the virus' spike protein, putting this on its own membrane, just as the virus has this spike protein on its membrane. The next question is which cells will take up this fat globule containing the mRNA and eventually express it. A study using rhesus monkeys shows that mainly antigen-presenting cells take up the nanoparticles and express the mRNA. This occurs at the injection site and in the lymph nodes into which the injection site drains. Antigen-presenting cells are normally immune system cells that cut foreign proteins into small pieces (peptides) and present them to the immune system on top of a small turret (MHC complex), enabling B cells and T cells to examine them in order to assess whether they are the body's own or foreign pieces of protein. If the B and T cells recognise these peptides as foreign to the body, the immune system is activated. To what extent other body cells take up the mRNA vaccine as well and possibly express the mRNA is not well known, but animal research with macaques indicates uptake and expression in muscle cells around the injection site.

Several promotional materials claim that the mRNA in Pfizer/BioNTech's vaccine is identical to the body's own mRNA, and could for that reason alone have no adverse effects. That is not entirely accurate. The mRNA in both vaccines is modified in various ways so that it is more stable and less likely to degrade. Moreover, the different codons - the sequence of three consecutive building blocks in the mRNA - are optimised to maximise the ability of cells to produce the spike protein. In this way, the spike protein is able to express for a longer duration in the body's own cells while producing more spike protein. The aim is to elicit a maximum immune response. As far as is known there have been no adverse effects of these mRNA modifications in humans, however, experience with these techniques in humans is still very limited.

It's important to understand how the vaccine is supposed to work but at the same time it's important to avoid getting caught up further in the whole Covid hype. It's always important to get back to basics and, at base, this is manufactured crisis. Take away the WHO pronouncements, the RT-PCR tests and the media-driven hysteria and 2020 would have been no different to 2019. The recent publicity given to Long-Covid and new mutant strains of the virus are clearly intended to maintain and even heighten the fear factor. The scamdemic is driven by fear.

The fear and the stresses of lockdowns, job losses, enforced isolation, business failures etc. are taking a psychological toll that is affecting our physical health. The mask wearing is physically damaging as well by promoting bacterial pneumonia and other illnesses. It is indeed a war on humanity:


There is no doubt that the vaccines will sicken recipients even further but there is no stopping the stampede to get vaccinated. To use Australia as an example, there are already over three million adults and at least one hundred thousand under-18s on antidepressants. These chemically lobotomised people have already surrendered control of their mental health to BIG PHARMA and so they will line up unquestioningly to receive their Covid vaccine. However, even those with a clear head, have succumbed to the relentless propaganda. 

Israel and the United States

This post is simply a reprint of material from this site. It gives a good overview of the way in which Israel has systematically stolen and resold United States technology and weaponry over the past few decades.

Israel gets most of its lifeblood from the US through foreign aid or stealing. A prime example of this is the Apollo affair, where Israel stole enriched uranium from the US to build their infamous nuclear weapons program through suspected Mossad agent, Zalman Shapiro, along with four Israeli intelligence agents, including Rafi Eitan, who visited NUMEC periodically between 1965 and 1970. This is how Israel operates. 
However, the alt-media does not go further than the Apollo affair. They don't report on the much deeper and more consequential Israeli thieving of US high technology through the Talpiot Program and Unit 8200. Billions of dollars are being sucked out of the US economy through government contracts to Israeli technology and cybersecurity companies like Amdocs, which has access to all US telephone records through the NSA, and Comverse Infosys, which has access to all NSA electronic tapping equipment. Essentially, Israel runs the national security state. Israeli companies can spy on you. Where did they get the capability to become world leaders in the technology sector? The United States. 
Part of the reason why Israeli tech firms are so competitive in the global market is due to a form of quasi-state capitalism, in which the Israeli government subsidizes 50 percent of Israeli tech firms' R&D costs. This gives these firms the ability to sell their goods and services at significantly lower prices than their American counterparts. This policy is socialist in nature, which Phil Giraldi pointed out in a speech for the Council for the National Interest: 
"Israel, a socialist country where government and business work hand in hand, has obtained significant advantages by systematically stealing American technology with both civilian and military applications." 
How did Israel get access to US high technology and intellectual property? It all began in the 1970s, when the US and Israeli governments formed BIRD (Israel-United States Bi-national Industrial Research and Development) Foundation. BIRD funds joint partnerships between Israeli and American companies, with 50 percent of its funding coming from the US government. That's right, our taxpayer money is funding Israeli industry, while our infrastructure is in shambles. This quote from a Bloomberg article is Talpiot in action:
Subsequently, Israel uses this advantage to flood the US market with their technology exports, partly due to the 1985 Israel-United States Free Trade Agreement, destroying American high technology jobs in the process. This was the first free trade agreement agreed upon by the United States. It reduced all tariffs on Israeli imports, and is the only free-trade agreement that does not have a chapter on intellectual property rights . That means that Israel can have access to US intellectual property under US law. 
"The company [BIRD] promotes joint industrial R&D between American and Israeli companies. They provide a maximum of $1.2 million funding per project. BIRD-supported projects allow leading Israeli technology companies to access key world class-US companies and establish business ties." 
All this technology that Israel has stolen was developed by tax payer money through DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). Nearly all of Apple's technology was developed by DARPA. Google emerged through DARPA technology and the CIA's MDDS (Massive Digital Data Systems) project, and Facebook raised its initial capital through an investment from Peter Thiel, whose data mining company, Palantir, was first funded by the CIA Venture capital firm, In Q Tel. 
There you go, US government funded BIRD gives Israeli tech companies access to "world-class US companies." That is where the Israeli high tech industry gets its lifeblood. Using this access to US industry, Israel set up a massive espionage operation in the United States to steal secret US defense secrets, military technology, and intellectual property in the early 1980s. One operative, Jonathan Pollard, was caught in this operation. Pollard was a US intelligence agent/Israeli spy who stole thousands of documents revealing the methods used by the US for signal intelligence gathering. From then on, Israel had the same intelligence gathering capabilities as the United States. Without Pollard, Israel would never have been able to engage in signal intelligence gathering, which means that the infamous Israeli companies tied to 9/11: Amdocs and Verint, would never have been formed. But Pollard was just the tip of the iceberg. There was a whole Israeli Espionage Network surrounding and working with Pollard, including guys like Richard Perle, Frank Gafney JR, Douglas J Feith, John F Lehman Jr, and Paul Wolfowitz. 
Furthermore, there are Zionist fingerprints all over tech giants like Google and Facebook. Google was initially partly funded by American Jew, Andy Bechtolsheim, the co founder of the tech firm, Sun Microsystems, which has a major R&D center in Israel. Many other tech firms including Google, Facebook, IBM, Motorola, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and Apple have R&D centers in Israel as well. Why would these firms choose to have R&D centers near Tel Aviv? Tel Aviv is the ninth most expensive city in the world. Furthermore, it would make more sense economically to have R&D centers in a place like Bangladesh, where wages are significantly lower with a similar supply of high tech workers.
These companies operate in Israel because they seek to make Israel the high tech capital of the world, where Israel will rule the world in a one world government from Jerusalem as Ben Gurion predicted.
  
Shortly before the Times report, Israel opened an office of the Israeli Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Doubtless it was that blatant act that caused U.S. officials to begin leaking information. The Times' source said that Israel's supposedly academic office in Beijing was actually "facilitating a whole range of military-to-military cooperation between Israel and China.": 
Furthermore, Israel sells their US originated high technology to our enemies, Russia and China. Russia and China then sell that technology to Iran. Therefore, Israel is indirectly arming Iran. The Iran-Israel conflict is a charade. If Israel was really an enemy of Iran, they would never allow China to sell Israeli sold military technology to Iran, let alone sell Israeli military technology to China in the first place. On top of that, Israel has numerous historical ties to the Islamic Republic of Iran, as I laid out in my article, "Iran Not an Enemy of the Jewish Elite". 
Ariwatch.com does a fantastic job of detailing the history of Israel transferring US technology to China in their article, "Israel's Technology Transfer to China": 
 "On June 13, 1990 the Los Angeles Times reported that Israel had become the largest supplier of advanced military technology to China since the United States banned military sales to that country a year earlier. An unnamed U.S. official told the newspaper that Israel was a "back door to U.S. technology that the United States won't sell them."
Israel was breaching the U.S. embargo against China using technology the U.S. had given to Israel for its own defense, even though the technology came with the restriction that Israel would not re-export. 
According to the article, intelligence experts in the West and Asia believed Israel had provided China with some of the advanced technology needed to modernize China's jet planes and missiles. U.S. officials had told Israel they strongly opposed the military cooperation because it undercut U.S. sanctions against China. "This is over our objections," a senior administration official told the newspaper. U.S. officials said that Israel was not operating as a proxy for the United States in these sales. 
The story had no discernible impact on Israel. It went on selling arms technology to China and upgrading relations between the two countries. A year after the Times report, in June 1991, China and Israel signed an agreement on scientific cooperation. 
On Nov. 20, 1991, the East Coast press reported that Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Arens made a secret four-day visit to China earlier that month. By the end of 1991, China's Deputy Foreign Minister Yang Fuchang visited Israel. 
About the same time, a study by the Pentagon-supported RAND Corp. became public with the conclusion that Israel had become "China's leading foreign supplier of advanced technology." It said there had been reports that Israel had helped China develop the HQ-61 surface-to-air missile, the CSS-2 intermediate missile, the PL-8 air-to-air and surface-to-air missile, as well as advanced armor for battle tanks and an air-borne early warning radar system. It said that Israel was currently cooperating with China to develop an advanced fighter jet.
On Jan. 24, 1992 China and Israel established formal diplomatic relations in ceremonies in Beijing. The occasion was attended by Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qichen and Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy.
  
The Sino-Israeli relationship was a strange one. China traditionally favored the Arabs in the Arab-Israel conflict. Moreover, while Israel based its pleas for enormous amounts of U.S. aid on the danger from Arab countries, its selling of weapons technology to China was indirectly helping strengthen the Arabs because China was a major supplier of missiles to Iran and such Arab countries as Saudi Arabia and Syria.
In an obvious effort to dampen the burgeoning Sino-Israeli relationship, U.S. officials stepped up their leaks. Unnamed officials revealed in early March 1992 that there was "overwhelming" evidence of Israel cheating on written promises not to re-export U.S. weapons technology to Third World countries, including China. They added that there was well-founded suspicion that Israel was also selling secrets of America's Patriot anti-missile missile to China. A U.S. team of experts was dispatched to Israel in late March but it failed to find proof of Israeli cheating. The State Department said on April 2 that "the Israeli government has a clean bill of health on the Patriot issue."
But there was disagreement in the government. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said there remained "good reason" to believe diversion had taken place. CIA Director Robert Gates agreed, saying, "There is some indication that they [the Chinese] have some of the [Patriot] technology." 
These disclosures were followed by a report in The Wall Street Journal saying that Israel illegally re-exports technology to a number of countries beyond China, including Chile, Ethiopia, South Africa and Thailand. There was "no doubt in the U.S. intelligence community that Israel has repeatedly engaged in diversion schemes." The Washington Post added that one official said there were "lots and lots of clear-cut cases." Apparently the U.S. had more than enough evidence to convict Israel, if it had the political will to do so.
The leaks by unnamed official sources came just days before Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Arens was due to meet on March 16, 1992 with his counterpart, Dick Cheney. Arens' initial public reaction was outrage: "There is not a grain of truth. No truth in it at all." But as the volume of charges grew, his statements changed to questioning the motives of the leakers: "The real story is who are these unnamed individuals who are floating these malicious rumors?" Defense Secretary Cheney and his spokesmen declined any comment.
  
The subject went to the heart of the economic prosperity of the Jewish state. Arms sales of around $1.5 billion annually accounted for 40 percent of Israel's exports and were based almost entirely on U.S. technology.
On April 1, 1992 the State Department released a report by its inspector general charging that a "major recipient" of U.S. military aid was engaged in a "systematic and growing pattern" of selling secret U.S. technology in violation of U.S. law. The public report did not directly name Israel, but officials left no doubt that it was the subject of the report. The report said Israel's violations began about 1983 and that Israel sought to conceal the violations. A secret version of the report allegedly identified Chile, China, Ethiopia and South Africa as among the recipients of Israel's sales.
State Department Inspector General Sherman M. Funk said he notified Secretary of State James A. Baker III about intelligence reports of Israel's violations in June 1991 and that new procedures to prevent future violations were put in place under an operation called Blue Lantern. Funk said U.S. officials previously had depended on verbal assurances from Israel that it was not retransferring. But, he said, such assurances from Israel
"are not an effective mechanism for providing end-use verification. We identified instances where U.S. items and technology were retransferred or were used in violation of the assurances." 
He added that he had recommended that Israel be forced to repay the money illicitly earned from the transfers but Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence S. Eagleburger rejected the proposal as being an impossible chore. Eagleburger was a protégé of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and a strong supporter of Israel. 
How Israel became so technologically advanced was revealed in a study by the General Accounting Office. The giveaway began in 1970 with the signing of a Master Defense Development Data Exchange Agreement that provided for the greatest transfer of U.S. technology to any country ever undertaken. The transfer was made by what was called Technical Data Packages: the entire complex of blueprints, plans and types of materials required to actually construct weapons.
Over the next eight years more than 120 such packages were given to Israel, according to a 1979 study by the Middle East Arms Transfer Panel. This massive infusion of technology boosted Israel's economy. By 1981, Israel had emerged from being a technologically backward arms importer to the seventh largest exporter of military weapons in the world, with overseas sales of $1.3 billion.
An Israeli writer observed: 
On Oct. 12, 1993 the CIA revealed to the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee that Israel had been selling advanced military technology to China for more than a decade. Central Intelligence Director R. James Woolsey estimated that the trade "may be several billion dollars." 
Woolsey added: 
"Building on a long history of close defense industrial relations, including work on China's next-generation fighter, air-to-air missiles and tank programs, and the establishment of diplomatic relations in January 1992, China and Israel appear to be moving toward formalizing and broadening their military technical cooperation."
"The Americans have made virtually all their most advanced weaponry and technology, meaning the best fighter aircraft, missiles, radar, armor, and artillery, available to Israel. Israel, in turn, has utilized this knowledge, adapting American equipment to increase its own technological sophistication, reflected tangibly in Israeli defense offerings."
Despite the number of reports over the years that Israel was illicitly profiting from U.S. technology at the cost of American companies and U.S. security, Washington continued to provide Israel ever-increasing amounts of technology. According to a report in 1992, there were 322 separate cooperative U.S.-Israeli ventures at that time, valued at $2.9 billion. In addition, there were 49 country-to-country programs involving Israel in co-development or co-production and research with the United States, and there existed 36 active data exchange agreements and 11 new proposed accords. The report concluded: "The magnitude of existing cooperative efforts with Israel is extensive and growing rapidly." In 1993, when Bill Clinton became president he promised to lift the "technological barrier" by granting Israel even more sophisticated technology.

Meanwhile Sino-Israeli relations flourished. Israeli President Chaim Herzog visited China between Dec. 24 and 30, 1992. In January 1993, with the administration of President Clinton taking over in Washington, Israel and China signed a contract permitting Israel to buy Chinese coal. On Feb. 14, 1993, the two countries signed a scientific agreement for joint research projects in electronics, medical technology, renewable energy, agriculture and civilian uses of space technology. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin denied that the trade reached billions of dollars, adding that the figure for 1992 was about $60 million. "All these stories of billions of dollars of arms business in the past 10 years are total nonsense," he said. 
"We have made it clear time and again that we have never done a thing against American law ... never transmitted items of technology that we got from the United States. We are not stupid enough to endanger Israel's annual $3 billion in U.S. aid."
The CIA said that indications of stronger Sino-Israeli ties were the opening of a number of Israeli military sales offices in China, the Feb. 14, 1993 signing of an agreement to share technology, and the current visit to Beijing of Rabin. The report stated (he issued his statement in Beijing, where he was on an official four-day visit.): 
"We believe the Chinese seek from Israel advanced military technologies that the U.S. and Western firms are unwilling to provide. Beijing probably hopes to tap Israeli expertise for cooperative development of military technologies, such as advanced tank power plants and airborne radar systems, that the Chinese would have difficulty producing on their own." 
In 1994 Professor Duncan L. Clarke of The American University in Washington, DC reported in a study:
"For years, Israel had violated the Arms Export Control Act and related executive agreements. [30] Israel has employed U.S. weaponry contrary to U.S. law and policy, incorporated U.S. technology into Israeli weapons systems without prior approval, and made improper transfers of U.S. missile and other defense systems and technologies to other countries, including Chile, China, and South Africa."
In early 1995 came another series of media reports on Israel's China trade. These led to official denials by Israel. David Ivri, the director-general of the Israeli Defense Ministry, admitted on Jan. 3 that Israel had sold China "some technology on aircraft" but added that it was not U.S. technology and that the contracts were "very small in magnitude."
  
In conclusion, Israel's military and high technology sectors are US taxpayer subsidized. Our taxpayer money is going to a country which sells our high technology to our enemies, namely China. China has gotten a lot of its technological capabilities from Israel. China uses this technology to steal US intellectual property, which the Trump administration has rightly brought up as an issue. However, the Trump administration never mentions Israel, who directly hands China this technology. President Trump does not care at all about US intellectual property theft. If he did, he would call Israel out, just like the BBC and Washington Examiner have done. He won't though, because Trump and his buddy Putin are, "fans of Bibi." 
On Jan. 6, Aded Ben-Ami, the spokesperson for Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, again denied that Israel had illegally transferred any U.S. technology to China. "Israel did not transfer any American technology or American components to China," he said. Two days later Defense Secretary William Perry discussed the issue with Prime Minister Rabin in Jerusalem, but the Israeli leader again denied that any U.S. technology was involved.
Then, suddenly, the issue disappeared from the public eye. 
The controversy that had begun in 1990 with anonymous leaks and had grown into official charges by the United States, culminated at the beginning of 1995 with discussions between the two countries at the highest level. After Perry's meeting with Rabin the subject dropped from public sight. What action was taken, if any, was not announced."
  
See, it's all a scam. They're all in this together. Israel transfers high technology to China, who in turn, transfers that technology to Arab countries and Iran. Therefore, Israel is an indirect ally of Iran and SYRIA. I bet you thought that Assad was an arch enemy of Israel. Well, Syria gets extensive military technology from Russia and China. According to the Brookings institution, "Russia and China Provide Cover for Assad's Syria." Therefore, Israel indirectly, "provides cover for Assad's Syria." Recently, Israel's tolerance of Assad has become clear. According to this article by Haaretz: 
This is a key quote from that article: 
"Moreover, while Israel based its pleas for enormous amounts of U.S. aid on the danger from Arab countries, its selling of weapons technology to China was indirectly helping strengthen the Arabs because China was a major supplier of missiles to Iran and such Arab countries as Saudi Arabia and Syria." 
"Several weeks ago, Israel reportedly told Russia that it wouldn't oppose that [Assad in power], as if the decision were in its hands or as if Israel even had any leverage over what kind of government is in power in Syria after the war ends." 
With all this documented evidence of Israel reverse engineering US technology to build up its own tech firms with Israeli military intelligence people through the Talpiot Program and Unit 8200, most alt-media personalities still never mention it. Israel is the MAIN reason why China is a high tech super power. China got all its military technology from Israel. Israel has violated US law by re-exporting US military technology to China, yet they have never beared any consequences. For example, in the 1990s, Israel supplied China with Python III Missiles, which utilized US developed technology for Sidewinder Missiles. This rightfully outraged the lower levels of the US military, who have been slowly ramping up pressure against Israel and doing some damage. For example, in 2013 , "a top Israeli defense official was forced to step down after the United States expressed fury at Israel's decision to sell military equipment to China." Also in 2013, the U.S. military was reportedly concerned that, "the technology could ultimately find it way to Iran." It's out in the open, yet people still think that Iran is Israel's arch enemy. 
In regard to the lower levels of the Pentagon being outraged at Israel for transferring US technology to our enemies, perhaps the Secretary of Defense James Mattis is on to something, as Brendon O'Connell points out. The Pentagon is being audited for the first time. If this audit is legit, it could reveal the Pentagon's Israeli Swamp, with all the, " shady companies with ties to Israel " receiving billions of dollars worth of contracts from the NSA. The fact that James Mattis and President Trump are in a little rift supports this claim. However, it is very possible that this audit will be a ruse to give President Trump credibility yet reveal nothing of value. I am open to both viewpoints; I am not leaning to one or the other, and I will always keep my eyes open on the matter.
  
The issue of the US subsidizing the Israeli tech industry is an issue that will get across to both progressives, who will be outraged that our government is subsidizing a foreign country's economy while sucking out billions of dollars from our economy, and paleo-conservative anti-communists who will be infuriated that our alleged "greatest ally" is funding and arming our enemies: Russia, China, and even Iran. This is the winning strategy; getting both sides of the political spectrum together on the same issues; not walking in the streets holding up childish signs that say, "Expel the Jew by 22!", which Patrick Little did at a Holocaust Museum. That sign that Patrick Little made is the perfect ammunition for the ADL and Jewish owned media to call all critics of Jewish power "Nazis", who seek to throw all Jews out of the country. That is not the way to go. We need to reach out to the common Jewish taxpayer and explain to them that the Jewish elite are not operating in their best interests either. Ordinary Jews are just as much of dupes as the rest of us. They are being duped to support a supremacist state and ideology, instead of learning to keep their culture within themselves and promote Logos (the natural order) with the rest of the world.

Long Covid

A term that has been popping up in recents days is Long-Covid and I thought I'd do a little research into the topic. The first article I came across was in The Bristol Cable of December 4th 2020:

There are an estimated 60,000 people in the UK with Long-Covid, where symptoms last longer than 12 weeks. NHS England have said that long-lasting symptoms include “breathing difficulties, enduring tiredness, reduced muscle function, impaired ability to perform vital everyday tasks, and mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression”. 
The NHS is set to open 40 Long–Covid clinics across the country, eight in the south west, and the Your Covid Recovery website offers support to people with long-term symptoms. We now know that the people most susceptible to it are women, older people, and people who have more symptoms in the first week of illness.

More recently, two separate studies have found damage to organs months after patients first contracted coronavirus. Data from 200 young and previously healthy people found impairment to an organ in 78% of patients four months after originally getting coronavirus. One in four of the participants had two or more organs affected.

On September 27th 2020, The Gothamist carried this report about NewYorkers:

It’s unclear exactly how many New Yorkers suffer from long-term post-COVID-19 symptoms, but a picture of what the long-haul population looks like is starting to come into view. According to McCarthy, “20 to 50 [years old] is the range we’re most commonly seeing at the Center. Thirties and 40s, even more so. And it’s mostly formerly healthy people.”

Among the most alarming post-COVID-19 symptoms being reported are brain fog and fatigue so intense that people are no longer able to work, often leaving them in financial and emotional distress. Those who spoke to Gothamist about brain fog said they had difficulty focusing, struggled to engage with complex material and would forget common words.

Dr. Dayna McCarthy, a rehabilitation medicine specialist who sees patients at Mount Sinai’s Center for Post-COVID Care, told Gothamist in a recent interview:

McCarthy and her colleagues at Mount Sinai the wide-ranging symptoms people experience after contracting COVID-19 resemble a condition known as dysautonomia, or damage to the autonomic nervous system, which regulates such involuntary functions as breathing, heart rate, and digestion. Dysautonomia can develop on its own or can be triggered by the immune system’s response to another disease. 

In another article in Inside Edition, a Dr. Christian Sandrock who works with patients at UC Davis Health’s Post-COVID-19 Clinic in Sacramento, said:

He has seen people who still don’t have a sense of taste or smell months later, people with chest pain and shortness of breath, decreased exercise tolerance, among many other things. Why people are having such persistent symptoms a long time after their infection has resolved is something that doctors are still trying to figure out, Sandrock said. 

“We think it's probably two things. One is with the loss of taste and smell and some of the other effects, the virus can infect your nerve cells and cause those to die,” Sandrock said. “The other, which is really the bigger effect, is that when the virus replicates and spreads, it can actually cause what we call endothelial damage. So the lining of your blood vessels get damaged and they're now irregular and they become a focal point for clotting.”

But, Sandrock said what many people may be experiencing is microvascular clots, which are so small that they don’t show up on testing. 

“So, if you can imagine you have that clotting in your brain and your brain has diminished blood flow, so now you notice you have a brain fog or you have some depression or some psychiatric changes,” he said. “Same thing in your heart. You're having diminished blood flow in your heart, so you get chest pain when you walk a short distance.”

The Mayo Clinic lists these long term Covid-19 problems in an article dated November 17th 2020:

Organ damage caused by COVID-19

Although COVID-19 is seen as a disease that primarily affects the lungs, it can damage many other organs as well. This organ damage may increase the risk of long-term health problems. Organs that may be affected by COVID-19 include:

Heart. Imaging tests taken months after recovery from COVID-19 have shown lasting damage to the heart muscle, even in people who experienced only mild COVID-19 symptoms. This may increase the risk of heart failure or other heart complications in the future.

Lungs. The type of pneumonia often associated with COVID-19 can cause long-standing damage to the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. The resulting scar tissue can lead to long-term breathing problems.

Brain. Even in young people, COVID-19 can cause strokes, seizures and Guillain-Barre syndrome — a condition that causes temporary paralysis. COVID-19 may also increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Blood clots and blood vessel problems

COVID-19 can make blood cells more likely to clump up and form clots. While large clots can cause heart attacks and strokes, much of the heart damage caused by COVID-19 is believed to stem from very small clots that block tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in the heart muscle.

Other parts of the body affected by blood clots include the lungs, legs, liver and kidneys. COVID-19 can also weaken blood vessels and cause them to leak, which contributes to potentially long-lasting problems with the liver and kidneys.

Problems with mood and fatigue

People who have severe symptoms of COVID-19 often have to be treated in a hospital's intensive care unit, with mechanical assistance such as ventilators to breathe. Simply surviving this experience can make a person more likely to later develop post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression and anxiety.

Because it's difficult to predict long-term outcomes from the new COVID-19 virus, scientists are looking at the long-term effects seen in related viruses, such as the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

Many people who have recovered from SARS have gone on to develop chronic fatigue syndrome, a complex disorder characterised by extreme fatigue that worsens with physical or mental activity, but doesn't improve with rest. The same may be true for people who have had COVID-19.

Many long-term COVID-19 effects still unknown

Much is still unknown about how COVID-19 will affect people over time. However, researchers recommend that doctors closely monitor people who have had COVID-19 to see how their organs are functioning after recovery.

Many large medical centres are opening specialised clinics to provide care for people who have persistent symptoms or related illnesses after they recover from COVID-19.

It's important to remember that most people who have COVID-19 recover quickly. But the potentially long-lasting problems from COVID-19 make it even more important to reduce the spread of the disease by following precautions such as wearing masks, avoiding crowds and keeping hands clean.

It seems to me unlikely that a virus can produce such a wide range of possible damage. The loss of taste and smell suggests to me that the nasal swab has damaged the olfactory centre and possibly perforated the blood-brain barrier which would then lead to a wide range of unpleasant effects. I would presume that all of these "long-haulers" received a nasal swab initially in order for them to be diagnosed. The question that needs to be asked is whether it is COVID-19 or damage from the nasal swab that is causing these long-term problems.

Here is a link to BitChute video that is discussing Long-Covid. Professor Jay Bhattacharya who is being interviewed makes the point that there is no balanced science where COVID-19 is concerned. A focus on worse case scenarios and resultant hysterical media coverage obscure any scientific objectivity. Such reporting attracts money. In Britain, as we read earlier, forty Long-Covid clinics opened at the end of 2020 to treat long-haul patients. The hysteria is good for the vaccine business as well of course.

Here is a link to BitChute video in which a young Finnish man is discussing the COVID-19 symptoms that he experiencing 100 days after infection. 

The much beloved Guardian carries this December 13th 2020 story replete with helpful diagrams (Figures 1 and 2):


Figure 1

Figure 2
Dramatic levels of “friendly fire” from the immune system may drive severe Covid-19 disease and leave patients with “long Covid” – when medical problems persist for a significant time after the virus has been beaten – scientists have said.

Researchers at Yale University found that Covid-19 patients had large numbers of misguided antibodies in their blood that targeted the organs, tissues and the immune system itself, rather than fighting off the invading virus.

The scientists compared immune responses in patients and uninfected people and discovered scores of aberrant antibodies in the former. These blocked antiviral defences, wiped out helpful immune cells, and attacked the body on multiple fronts, from the brain, blood vessels and liver to connective tissue and the gastrointestinal tract.

Further tests revealed that the more “autoantibodies” patients had in their blood, the worse their disease. The Covid-19 patients had more antibodies that had turned on them than people with lupus, an autoimmune disease caused by similar wayward antibodies.

It would be interesting to find out how many of these long haul sufferers had earlier flu vaccinations or other treatments that may have compromised or confused their immune systems. It's been suggested that people suffering from asthma are particularly affected. The article mentions that "Long Covid is thought to affect about 10% of 18- to 49-year-olds, rising to one in five among the over-70s."

Of course, the lockdowns and mask wearing haven't improved anybody's health. Figure 3 shows what someone posted on Minds:


Figure 3


I'm not going to get to the bottom of what's causing Long-Covid in this post but I've certainly raised my level of awareness regarding it and will be on the lookout for further information. At this point, it seems it is that the body's immune system that is doing the damage by attacking its own organs in the aftermath of the initial COVID-19 infection. There is even speculation that certain blood types are more susceptible than others to Long-Covid. Watch this video on YouTube.

The same guy that investigated the link between blood types and Long-Covid has also produced some interesting data analysis explained in this November 2020 video:


He concludes that pre-existing autoimmune disorders such as atopy (asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS) are strongly connected to a likelihood of developing Long-Covid. See Figure 4:


Figure 4

I'll include a definition here of atopy:
Atopy refers to the genetic tendency to develop allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma and atopic dermatitis (eczema). Atopy is typically associated with heightened immune responses to common allergens, especially inhaled allergens and food allergens.
As Figure 1 illustrates, a trigger-happy immune system makes coming down with Long-Covid much more likely. For those who escape Covid-19 infection but receive the mRNA vaccination, it would seem that the latter would also trigger the immune system to overreact. This remains to be seen of course as the vaccines are only now being rolled out. 

Here is some information about cytokines and cytokine storms from an April 2020 article:
Scientists believe these cytokines are evidence of an immune response called a cytokine storm, where the body starts to attack its own cells and tissues rather than just fighting off the virus. Cytokine storms are known to happen in autoimmune diseases like juvenile arthritis.

The articles further explains that:

One of the great mysteries of the new coronavirus is why it causes only mild disease in most people, but turns fatal for others. In many cases, it seems the worst damage may be driven by a deranged immune response to the infection, rather than the virus itself. In many of the sickest patients with COVID-19, their blood is teeming with high levels of immune system proteins called cytokines. Scientists believe these cytokines are evidence of an immune response called a cytokine storm, where the body starts to attack its own cells and tissues rather than just fighting off the virus. Cytokine storms are known to happen in autoimmune diseases like juvenile arthritis. They also occur during certain kinds of cancer treatment, and can be triggered by infections, like the flu. One study of patients who died of H1N1 influenza, for example, found that 81% had features of a cytokine storm. Though the virus that causes COVID-19 has been circulating for only a few months, early research shows that like other infections, it, too, may cause this kind of catastrophic immune problem, and researchers say the size of the storm it triggers is gale-force.

While this article is not about Long-Covid, it seems that even those who initially display only mild symptoms when infected can go on to develop autoimmune reactions that may last weeks and months. It's also been pointed out that the common flu has produced such reactions in the past but little interest was shown in pursuing the matter. Now, with such an intense focus on Covid-19, the same phenomenon is being considered a unique feature of the current virus. There's no doubt that people in the 30 to 40 year age group were victims of the escalation in the number of vaccines administered to babies and children in the 1990s. The upsurge in autism, autoimmune disorders, allergies, ADHD and so forth amongst this cohort has made them especially susceptible to cytokine storms as a reaction to viruses or vaccinations.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFS has been around for quite some time and Long-Covid mimics many of its symptoms. A long time CFS sufferer remarked recently that only now, with the growing recognition of Long-Covid, was a CFS-like malady been taken seriously by mainstream medicine. Maybe the flu-CFS link was there all along but it's only been noticed now due to the intense scrutiny given to the effects of Covid-19. 

The Last American Vagabond cites prolonged mask-wearing as the contributing or even causative factor in Long-Covid or Long-Haul Covid as he calls it. Here is a link to his BitChute video:

Peaky Blinders

I started watching "Peaky Blinders" because it begins in 1919, almost a full century ago, and thus a time far removed from the miserable Covid times in which we now find ourselves. I was seeking escape to another world. Of course this was the time of the so-called Spanish Flu but fortunately this pandemic features only marginally. I've watched five seasons so far and the sixth has yet to be released. Sadly, I've noticed an increasing Jewish bias.

Paddy Consodine as Father Hughes

It began for me with Father Hughes, the pedophile Catholic priest, played by Paddy Considine. The character is thoroughly evil and his portrayal reflects poorly on the Catholic Church. This of course is the intent. In a later episode there is a scene where Thomas Shelby and Polly make a dramatic entrance into a convent while the nuns there are seated at table, having their meals. After smashing the head nun's spectacles, Thomas accuses her of child abuse and withdraws his funding to the institution. The children under her care, he tells the nun, are to be relocated. When she protests, Polly threatens her in no uncertain manner with a grisly death. The nuns are portrayed as thoroughly evil. Now of course there are and have been pedophile priests and abusive nuns, but their presence in the Peaky Blinders storyline seems to be gratuitous Catholic-bashing.

For a time in the series, Thomas is involved with Russian nobles, living in exile in England, who have escaped the communist revolution in their country. Let's not forget that the Russian revolution of 1917 was first and foremost a Jewish revolution. In Peaky Blinders, the Russian nobility and their improbable Cossack bodyguards are portrayed as avaricious, self-absorbed, sexually degenerate and, in short, lacking any redeeming qualities whatever. It is a perfect piece of communist revolutionary propaganda that bears no resemblance to reality.

Sam Claflin playing Sir Oswald Mosley

As we enter the 1930s in the series, Oswald Mosley makes an appearance. He is the guy who started up the Fascist party in England. He was naturally close to Hitler and the German fascists and we learn that:
Cynthia (his first wife) died of peritonitis in 1933, after which Mosley married his mistress Diana Guinness, née Mitford (1910–2003). They married in secret in Germany on 6 October 1936 in the Berlin home of Germany's Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels. Adolf Hitler was their guest of honour. Source.

In the series, Thomas refers to Mosley as "the Devil" and he is portrayed as a sexually degenerate psychopath, clearly intended as stand-in for Hitler himself. Let's not forget that Hitler himself was Time's Man of the Year in 1938 and so this whole depiction of Mosley as the devil incarnate because of his Fascist ideology in the early 1930s is historically ludicrous. It's easy to be critical of the Fascists in hindsight but during the time period under discussion, nobody had any idea of the direction things would take.

Of course, there's no requirement for Peaky Blinders to be historically accurate. What's important is to tell a good story and the series does that, which is why I watched all five seasons. However, the end result for me was that my escapism was compromised and I was thrust back into the present times were reality is being similarly distorted.

Hollow Heroes

Nowhere has Zionist propaganda been more influential than in secondary education via book choices for English in various national and international curricula. Anne Frank's "Diary of a Young Girl" is an evergreen of course but there are many others that are also of doubtful authenticity. An  ex-student of mine recently posted on Facebook that:

Holocaust Memorial Day 2021 was on January 27th, and I only got around to do a portrait of Elie Wiesel today. Took me 2 days to draw him. This is one of my most favourite quotes ever. I learned about Elie Wiesel in high school when we read his book "Night". When he passed away in 2018, I was a lot more affected by it than I thought I would, partly because I knew his experiences through his book. But his message to the next generations was clear, - always stand up against oppression, never be silent.


Figure 1: Elie Wiesel

She would have read the book in the mid-naughties. This prompted me to find out more about Elie Wiesel. Properly speaking, his name is pronounced thus but, in English, his surname looks like "weasel", a little furry animal, but a word used figuratively to mean a sneaky and sly person, someone who cheats and lies. Was Elie affected perhaps by the compulsion of the name phenomenon? It appears that he might have been. Here is an interesting article about him, taken from this source:

The Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University organized a major exhibition titled “Champion for Human Rights: The Life and Work of Elie Wiesel” on September 27th 2015. Indeed, Wiesel has been awarded numerous awards — including the Nobel Peace Prize. However, to say that he is a champion of human rights is to be at odds with reality.

Being a loyal supporter of Zionism, he continues to condemn Palestinians, who have been the victims of the colonial expansion characterised by the illegal settlements in the occupied territories of West Bank, Gaza and Golan Heights. He speaks of the Palestinians with a racist framework, famously condemning Hamas for “the use of children as human shields” in the 2014 conflict between Gaza and Israel, known as Operation Protective Edge. That particular statement of his appeared as an advertisement in The New York Times and other newspapers on August 4, 2014. Wiesel endorsed another advertisement in The New York Times, urging lethal actions against Iran because of its nuclear energy program.

The late historian, Howard Zinn, who also taught at Boston University, called Wiesel’s refusal to include the suffering of non-Jews at the hands of the Nazis at the United States Holocaust Museum, along with the exhibits documenting Jewish suffering, one of the most “shameful moments” in recent memory. Wiesel reasoned his actions by proclaiming that the inclusion of the sufferings of non-Jews in the Museum would be an attempt to “falsify reality” and such calls were equivalent to “stealing the Holocaust from us.”

Wiesel has asserted that Jerusalem “belongs to the Jewish people,” his rationale being that Jerusalem was mentioned more than six hundred times in the Torah while not a single time in the Qur’an. Going by his line of reasoning, Prophet Muhammed is named five times by name while Jesus is mentioned twenty five times by name in the Qur’an. So what would his conclusion be, then? He has not only ignored and distorted history, he has also advanced the lie that Israel was attacked in 1967 to justify its occupation of Jerusalem and other Arab lands. In light of the June 1967 war, the UN Security Council resolution 242 explicitly stated “the inadmissibility of acquisition of land by force” and called on Israel to withdraw from its recent occupation of Arab lands. As the resolution was not heeded by Israel, the UN Security Council passed another resolution in May 1968 that “deplored the failure of Israel to comply with international law” and “considered that all legislative and administrative measures and actions taken by Israel, including the expropriation of land and properties, which tend to change the legal status of Jerusalem are invalid and cannot change that status.”

It is quite illuminating to look at Wiesel’s own life. During 1947-49, he worked as a journalist for a Zionist group called Irgun — a terrorist group, designated by the British. So, it is undoubtedly true that he would know about the 1948 Deir Yasin massacre of innocent Palestinians and other groups perpetrated by his own organisation, which at the time was headed by Menahem Begin and Yitzak Shamir. However, Wiesel goes onto argue that that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians left their homes in 1948 voluntarily. He consistently goes on demanding public apologies for crimes committed against Jews but never once for the crimes committed against Palestinians. It is not surprising since he has publicly stated, “I support Israel — period. I identify with Israel — period. I never attack, I never criticise Israel.”

Noam Chomsky has called Wiesel “a terrible fraud” and for good reason. I have illuminated only some of those reasons. By no means is he a champion for human rights. One can say he is a champion of Jewish rights — a champion that distorts history and reality to advance the Zionist agenda. More than anything, he is an Israeli apologist.

There are many other sources on the Internet confirming that Wiesel's "Night" is a work of fiction. It doesn't matter. Like Anne Frank's "Diary of a Young Girl", fiction becomes fact and my ex-student has added Elie Wiesel to her list of heroes. Sadly, she'll probably revere him to the day she dies and never doubt his sainthood for a moment. Such are the hollow heroes who are remembered on Holocaust Memorial Days.
