Covid policies do not reflect any of the science, and January 6 analysis which is well done: Links 2, December 23, 2021

1. PJ Watson on how the Mayor of Hamburg lies with ‘statistics’ to deploy more totalitarian measures

Another PJW short: This one busts the whole death of the unvaxxed by Omicron in the UK lie

2. From Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA gene therapy’s substack: Omicron has Cracked Open the Overton Window

The Overton window of political possibility is the concept that there are a limited range of ideas the public is willing to consider and accept. That politicians can only be effective by advocating policy that fits within the Overton window and that disruptive groups are the ones who can expand or contract the Overton window. In the case of COVID-19, the use of the noble lie has been used by government and world health officials as well as legacy media sycophants to restrict and even close the Overton window regarding issues such as mask use, vaccination strategies, and lockdowns. To be explicitly clear, the Overton Window is a political concept which is being actively manipulated to constrain scientific discourse.

Government officials are intentionally acting as those disruptive groups which limit the window by co-opting media outlets, social media and big tech through NGOs, The Trusted News Initiative and three letter agencies. Through NIH media campaigns, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Francis Collins and many others have acted to limit or close the Overton Window.  They have also effectively used smear campaigns both against groups and individuals to limit the Overton Window and keep their policy positions from being questioned by the public and to expand governmental authority.  There is now a deep understanding of the political science behind the Overton Window, and the idea is being used to market ideas to the public in ways never thought of before by governmental organizations and agencies.

The most common misconception is that lawmakers themselves are in the business of shifting the Overton window. That is absolutely false. Lawmakers are actually in the business of detecting where the window is, and then moving to be in accordance with it.”

3. I think this fellow is a Montreal lawyer. In this he looks at the events of January 6th with reason and procedure required in law. All practices that are anathema today.

4.  UK confirms officially that the newest variant of Covid is much milder than previous strains. Doesn’t seem to affect policies whatsoever though.

As for overwhelm the NHS, from what I have been reading, hospitals have been lowering the criteria for what is considered worthy of hospitalizations as the rates are so low.

5. Majority of mumps cases are among the vaccinated, CDC finds

(In 2022, please remember to look for the following words: “All cause mortality after vaccination.” Thank you.)

As many as 94 percent of children and adolescents who contracted the highly contagious virus had been vaccinated.

Mumps cases continue to circulate in the U.S., largely among vaccinated people, including children.

Cases of mumps, once a common childhood illness, declined by more than 99 percent in the U.S. after a vaccine against the highly contagious respiratory infection was developed in 1967. Cases dropped to just 231 in 2003, down from more than 152,000 in 1968. But cases began climbing again in 2006, when 6,584 were reported, most of them in vaccinated people. 

According to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of mumps cases in the U.S. from 2007 to 2019 were reported in children and adolescents. As many as 94 percent of those who contracted the illness had been vaccinated.

“Before that, large outbreaks of mumps among people who were fully vaccinated were not common, including among vaccinated children,” said Mariel Marlow, an epidemiologist at the CDC who led the new study. “But the disease symptoms are usually milder and complications are less frequent in vaccinated people.”

  1. The Overton window: well, they are winning for now.

    When people are willing to wait for five+ hours outside, in the frigid cold, to be either tested or get the jab, at the risk of contracting bronchitis or a cold or the virus itself once inside the facility, you know people are not yet thinking clearly.

    ** Boosters shots and COVID-19 test kits topping Canadian’s wish lists **

    On the eve of the Christmas holiday, COVID-19 booster shots and rapid test kits are topping the wish lists of many Canadians as case numbers rocket to record highs across much of the nation.

    Fuelled by the explosive growth of the Omicron variant, Quebec reported 9,397 cases Thursday and Ontario 5,790, while coronavirus cases in British Columbia topped 2,000 for the first time.

    In Montreal, a top health official, Dr. Mylene Drouin, confirmed that one of every five tests for the virus was coming back positive, that 60 per cent of positive cases were among people aged 18 to 44, and that 90 per cent of new infections involved the Omicron variant.

    People have been lining up, often for hours, to get highly sought after vaccine booster shots as well as rapid test kits to try to ensure that holiday gatherings are as safe as possible. – https://t.co/AlqWrxg8jB
