1. This is not a Vaccine.
When you get a vaccine for something, you are immune. The immunity, by definition, is what makes it a vaccine. Even if it were a vaccine, Bagholder prefers
There are none so blind, as those who will not see
You would think an actual Blind person would see less than someone who can see, but chooses not to. The reality of it though, is while the blind person sees nothing; the person who can see - but refuses - sees less than nothing. They only see the bad information already in their head. Given the choice between no information (the blind) and bad information (those who can see, but refuse), Bagholder would prefer no information. Hence the expression, "there are none so blind, as those who will not see."
At the root level, this expression speaks to the virtues of being open minded. Psychologists would say when a mind is closed to new information it is usually due to holding a belief that runs counter to what new information is saying. The Psychological term for this is cognitive dissonance. Simply put, there is a gap between what is believed, and reality. When this occurs, there are
I am doing my best to find something to write about other than Covid, and the Vaccines. Its tough to do, because its everywhere you look. Its simply amazing the number of people who willingly roll up their sleeves, for an untested vaccine (which offers no immunity) to fight a virus which has a survival rate of 99.76% - same as the flu. The thought process of most adults has been corrupted, no doubt. My guess is the educational system is largely to blame. So lets discuss them & leave the Covid out of it.
Bagholder has always believed public schools are not there to teach, but rather they are there to familiarize and condition the young to the ways of institution, eliminating any bit of independent thought or self awareness along the way. As far back as I could remember, it was:
I am altering the deal, Pray I do not alter it any further
As we documented previously, The powers that be have a penchant for “moving the goalposts”, so to speak. Much like Lord Vader (pictured above), they proclaim X. When X turns out, not to their liking - they simply Re-define X. Consider the promises made by Government regarding Covid. First it was, 15 days to flatten the curve. When that failed it became masks & social distancing. When that failed it became 30 day lockdowns. After having been teased multiple times with a possible end to Covid, the public was clamoring for any possible solution. Pfizer then conveniently rides in with a vaccine to fight Covid.
The public was promised a return to “normal’ life, if only they
The first amendment in the constitution is a remarkable provision which has for over 200 years granted us the freedom to speak our minds. It states:
Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech.
Meaning, we all have the right to say whatever we want, no matter how hateful, ridiculous, or outright stupid our views may be. There is a reason this was the first amendment. Our forefathers realized the importance of being able to call out the prevailing political leadership on their misdeeds. Speaking out against the leadership (and their choices) is a means of checking the power of those in charge. Its why despots all throughout history, upon assuming power, immediately
In the mid 1980’s a friend of mine approached me with the opportunity to parachute out of an airplane. Bagholder was in - all the way in! Since we were noobies, before jumping we were required to take a 4 hour class designed to help us out should something go wrong during the jump. One of the things they had us do was watch a 90 minute video of all the possible problems ranging from, a non opening chute, a tangled chute, a torn chute, a torn ripcord, a partially opened chute, etc…. The video was just one disaster after the next. After 90 minutes of that, about half of the people in my class got up, walked out, went to their cars, and drove away. Even Bagholder was having second thoughts.
So, i pulled the instructor aside and asked him
Pictured above are the 3 stooges, a slapstick trio who were a seminal influence in Bagholders childhood. They would routinely undertake mundane everyday tasks - like walking through a door (pictured above) - and fail at them, often in spectacular fashion. Notice in the photo above there is a doorway, plenty big enough for any of the stooges to get through. But in typical stooge manner, they attempt to go through the door simultaneously - shoulder to shoulder - which prevents any of them from getting through. All of which brings us to the topic of todays discussion:
Masks, and their efficacy.
Fauci has claimed on many occassions wearing a mask is one of the best things you can do to prevent the spread of the Virus.
Since we discovered in part one - link here - the decision to vax is largely tied to political affiliation, Bagholder thought today he would vet the arguments of the pro vaccine side. At one point or another, Bagholder reached out (some verbally - some in writing) to every one of the 41 people he could list which voted Democrat in the last election AND chose to get the Jab. In no uncertain terms I asked WHY they did it & to please help me understand
When making big investment decisions, one of the most important factors is looking at who is on which side of the trade, also known as the structure - link here. In many arenas, like the commodity markets - nothing else even matters. Bagholder, being the logical type, believes looking at structure when making life decisions - as opposed to just investment decisions - is a worthwhile pursuit. So, when considering
In the 1960's, Pharmaceutical companies were permitted to bring drugs to market without much, if any testing. So when pregnant women suffering from morning sickness were looking for relief, the drug companies were happy to provide a drug called Thalidomide. The drug was very effective in stopping morning sickness....the problem however was in the side effects. Babies born to women taking Thalidomide while pregnant showed a 12 fold increase in birth defects. Not only were the side effects horrific, but it took almost a decade for the scientific community to figure out the 12x increase in birth defects was caused by thalidomide.
One of the interesting lessons from the Thalidomide debacle was how the connection between the drug & side effects was established. There was a group of women who chose not to take the drug creating what scientists call "the control group". After a decade, there were enough births (data) for doctors to compare births from those on the drug, to those not on the drug (the control group). Once the sample size was large enough, it was obvious when comparing the 2 groups - Thalidomide was causing the defects.
Enter the federal Government. Shortly after this debacle, the FDA was given some teeth. They mandated 2 things... First, does the drug work (efficacy). Secondly, what are the potential risks (side effects). Ever since, drug companies have been required to show a drug works - first in a Lab (phase 1), secondly in animals (phase 2) , and finally in clinical trials with Humans (phase 3) - before they are permitted to sell the drug on the open market. In addition they are required to disclose all side effects; which is why every drug commercial ends with a long list of potential maladies. All this thorough testing seems very reasonable to Bagholder, as we do not want to end up with more Thalidomides.
In the mid 1970's, just a few years after they empowered FDA and fresh off the Thalidomide disaster, the USA gets hit with an epidemic of Swine flu. So how does Government respond? Under emergency use authorization, they allow drug companies to create and market a vaccine in only months without clinical testing or FDA approval. Sound familiar? As it turned out the vaccine was killing & maiming far more people than the Flu - and so the vaccine was pulled from the market in only months, an abject failure.
Fast forward to 2020 - the year of Covid. Does government learn from their past mistakes? Of course not. Government, in its infinite wisdom, arbitrarily decides to suspend what has worked for nearly 50 years, and once again, allow drug companies to sell their experimental mRna "vaccines" without testing and without FDA approval. Obviously they do not learn from history.
Speaking of FDA approval, drug companies only get approval on about 8% of the drugs they take to the FDA. Meaning 92% of the time, their concoctions fail to work. So you have 2 drugs (Moderna & Pfizer) brought to market without testing from companies who fail 92% of the time. If history is any guide, for you glass half full types, there is a 14.72% chance ONE of the 2 drugs will work ((100 - {(.92x .92) + (.08 x .08)}) = 14.72) . For the realists among you, there is a 99.36% probability at least ONE of them will fail ((100 - 100(.08x.08))=99.36) .
Yes, you read that correctly - 99.36% probability one of them will FAIL.
I can hear the whining now....Oh Bagholder ....you do not know what you are talking about! Thing is though, Math is very unforgiving, because it cannot be argued - and if there is one thing Bagholder understands - its math.
The part Bagholder is struggling with is why the incessant push for a 100% vaccination rate? The news cycle is 24/7 - get the vaccine!! I've seen them use fear as a motivator - get the vaccine before the virus get you. I've seen them use flattery - get the vaccine, its the smart move. I've seen them use bribery - get the vaccine, and you can get a free side of fries. I've seen threats - get the vaccine or you are out of a job. I've seen mandates, get the vaccine - or you are out of the military. What I haven't seen from TPTB is the Math, because its just not on their side. The question remains, why the push for 100% vaccination.
And then it hit me....
With a 100% vaccination rate, there is no "control group". When the long term side effects of the Vaccines start showing up - There will be no control group to which we can compare results, and thus no way to establish a connection between the Vaccine & side effects. So a couple years from now when sterility rates soar, or cancer rates skyrocket - or whatever the side effects may be - they can then be conveniently blamed on some new Virus. Gman & the drug companies will then step in with another new drug to solve the problem their covid vaccine created. Bagholder strongly suspects TPTB know there are long term issues with the Vaccines. As such, the relentless push for 100% is to cover up their tracks, and hide a Crime in progress.
Just remember, you are not ANTI-VAX ....you are just part of the CONTROL GROUP.
Much like the late, great George Carlin - Bagholder has only a few rules to live by. The first is "I don't believe anything Government tells me".... Some good examples include:
"Read my lips, no new taxes" LIE
"I did not have sex with that woman" LIE
"Saddam has Weapons of Mass Destruction" LIE
*************************
Bagholder could easily name another dozen lies just off the top of his head - but you get the idea. There was not a shred of truth in any of those statements.... Which brings us to the Latest Government LIE.
"Covid Vaccines are safe & effective"
It's hard to believe Gman can pack 4 lies into a 6 word sentence, then again - they are world class Liars.
LIE #1
"Vaccines"
When you get a Vaccine for something - you are immune. The immunity is what makes it a Vaccine. For example, Bagholder has gotten a Polio Vaccine, as such - will never get polio. How is it then, there are 100's of thousands of Vaccinated people coming down with Covid? Simple, It is Not a Vaccine - it is something else. Much like calling my dog a cat does not make him a cat..... Calling this a Vaccine does not make it a Vaccine.
LIE #2
"SAFE"
According to VAERS (the vaccine adverse reaction office of the CDC) as of 7/16/21 there have been 9125 deaths in the US reported attributable to the VACCINE, and over 110,000 Reactions so severe they required Hospitalization. In fact, there have been more hospitalizations & Deaths in the USA from these "covid vaccines" than ALL other Vaccines in US history, combined!! With numbers like these, Anybody making the case these Covid shots are Safe - is Lying. Once again, calling my dog a cat, does not make him a cat....Nor does calling these covid shots "Safe" make them Safe.
Lie #3
"Effective"
If these Covid shots are effective, why are "vaccinated" people testing positive for Covid? Why would booster shots be neccesary for something which is effective? According to the CEO of Pfizer the Pfizer Vaccine is 84% effective in preventing Covid - link here. For people incapable of critical thought, 84% sounds wonderful. Truth is 84% is a disgrace. We are a country of roughly 360 million people with roughly 36 million cases - meaning 10% of us have been infected, and 90% of us have not been infected. In other words, Doing Nothing to prevent covid has been 90% effective. Only Big Pharma & Gman could lower the 90% down to 84%, and call it Effective. My dog is a cat.
LIE #4
Implications
"Covid Vaccines are safe and Effective" is a Declarative statement. When made by someone in a position of authority, like for instance, the President of the United States - there are some implications. Chief among those, would be the vaccines have been thoroughly tested. Fact is, they have not been tested - at all. These are experimental Drugs. Make no mistake, If you have taken the Vaccine, you are part of an experiment. In US history, there has never been a mRna drug to pass phase 2 testing (on animals), let alone phase 3 testing (on humans in clinical trials). To state these covid shots are safe & effective without testing is more than just disingenuous, it is an outright LIE.
Bagholder is quite certain when history looks back years from now ..... the statement "Covid Vaccines are safe & effective" will go down as the biggest Government Lie since Abraham Lincoln told the masses the "Income tax is a TEMPORARY measure to fund the war".
First some indisputable facts both sides can agree on ...
1. The Virus is Real
2. The "vaccine" appears to help in combating the Virus should you get it, but is not without risk
3. Approximately 1.6% (1 in 60) of people who have tested positive with Covid have died (36mil US cases, 600k deaths - grossly exaggerated number, but lets use it)
4. There is risk present both in taking the Vaccine and NOT taking the Vaccine
5. According to the CDC 82% of the Deaths Have been in people over 65, and 95.2% of deaths have been people over 50
The real Question here is what are the risks, exactly ..... Lets consider the math first ....
In a country of 350 million people with 600k deaths, The overall chances of Death are 1 in 584.
There are roughly 54 million aged 65 and older in this country, Leaving 296 million under the age 65.
600k deaths x 82% Yields 492,000 deaths from over 65, leaving 108,000 deaths from the under 65.
Meaning if you are over 65, actual chances of death (492k out of 54 mil) are about 1 in 112
For people under 65, the same math (296 mil/108,000 deaths) yields a result of 1 in 2740.
For people under 50, the same math (236mil/29230 deaths) yields a result of 1 in 8073.
Now, couple those numbers with the March 19th study by the University of Chicago showing 82.2% of people testing positive for Covid are Vitamin D deficient, while 17.8% are not Vitamin D deficient.
People whose vitamin D levels are good & over 65, the odds of getting Covid AND dying from it can now be adjusted as follows: 112/.178 = 1 in 629
People whose vitamin D levels are good & under 65, the odds of getting Covid and dying from it can now be adjusted as follows: 2740/.178 = 1 in 15,397
People whose vitamin D levels are good & under 50, the odds of getting Covid and dying from it can now be adjusted as follows: 8073/.178 = 1 in 45,353
Fun fact for those in the under 65 group: You have a better chance of being struck by lightning (1 in 15,300 - google it) than dying from Covid.
For the record, Bagholder finds it despicable the World has been turned upside down for a Virus killing one healthy person in every 15,397 people under 65.
Even more reprehensible, is a country which injects its young with an experimental vaccine highly likely to fail.
*********************************************************************************
And now lets consider some facts about the Vaccine .....
- No clinical trials
- No Double blind studies
- No phase 3 testing
-The mRna Vaccines are altering both the Structure (at the ACE 2 receptor) AND function (to start producing spike proteins) of every cell in your Body
- Another fun fact... Do you know what else alters the structure & function of your cells? I'll save you the trouble of research - the answer is Cancer
As if all that is not bad enough, there is this:
- According to VAERS (the vaccine adverse reaction office of the CDC) as of 7/16/21 there have been 9125 deaths in the US reported attributable to the VACCINE, and over 110,000 Reactions so severe they required Hospitalization. Unlike the 600k Covid deaths where hospitals were incentivized with cash payments to report, there is no cash payment for the 9125 Vaccine deaths. So it is safe to assume the 9125 deaths the CDC admits to, is LOW - but lets use it.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Just over 124 million Americans are now fully Vaccinated. If you divide 9125 by 124 million that gives you a Vaccine death rate of 1 in 13,589.
So in conclusion, The Virus is killing 1 in 45,353 people under age 50 who are not Vitamin D deficient - while the Vaccine is killing 1 in 13,589.
In Other words, without even considering the long term side effects .......
The VACCINE is 3.5x deadlier than the VIRUS.
Bagholder will take his chances with the Virus.
