I've found that there's a lot of quality podcasts available. Right now I'm listening to Lex Fridman #251, a podcast with Ray Dalio. I have mixed feelings about Dalio, but then I've never really listened to an extended interview with him nor have I read any of his books, so my perception is built entirely on soundbites and quotes. So far, it's an interesting interview and he has a keen perspective on history particularly with regards to money and power.

Another good podcast is Hardcore History with Dan Carlin.

Thanks for the links Dan to the Joe Rogan podcasts and other material. Hard to find open discussion these days.

This thread continues in the new year here.

I'm plagued by Dan's in my life - my farmer neighbour is Dan, another friend from Gold Coast is Dan, you're Dan, my nephew is Dan, and one of my subjects, the premier of Victoria is Dan...

Ha! And I've never liked my name! I had a uni professor who went by Danny, and he once said something about never wanting to be a 'Dan'. But, Dan it is for me, like an old shoe. Fine. Here's a funny story that's somehow related. Decades ago I was on an all night fire watch in the woods. The forest service had done a controlled burn and three of us sat on top of a ridge all night to make sure the smoldering embers didn't ignite. We are all named Dan.

Anyway, the Gold Coast Dan pointed out that Joe Rogan has become a media giant - which is true. Whereas the normal media giants have spent their time censoring/vilifying anyone questioning the origin of Covid or the long term social/medical consequences of vaccines and lockdowns, Rogan invites guests on and asks them questions. It's a simple formula but in today's world it's deemed radical and dangerous.

This long form interview, or even the 30 minute to one hour podcasts, is really encouraging to see and it's taking off. People are hungry for it on some level. It's filling a void. I've started using Spotify just in the last few days in an effort to move away from YouTube, and I've found that there's a lot of quality podcasts available.

But it does resonate with a large audience - who are curious to find infromation. Meanwhile mainstream media is digging it's own grave of irrelevance.

There's a massive gap in the market in Australia for something similar. We've got one side who simply refuses to cover the origin whatsoever - even two years later - the public-funded broadcaster as done zero stories on the possibility of a lab-leak - zero.

The other side has done a scant few stories on it - dipping their toes in about a year after the event - but still carries on vilifying the vax-hesitant. No-one has made any attempts whatsoever to join the dots between the cover-up and the complicity of those involved - be they scientist or security organizations.

I've only listened to the first 30 minutes, but this seems like an extremely sober, objective, highly qualified doctor discussing the history of covid with regards to early treatment and research. Can't have that!

We didn't need any reminders of the normalized insanity that we find ourselves in, but that's one out of the box.

However, other scientist, and anyone with common sense, is warning of 'immune system fatigue'.

Then what do we do?

Meanwhile, reports are saying 96% of Omicron patients in Germany were fully vaxxed - including 28% who were triple vaxxed.

Germany has a vax-rate of 71.1%. Even if the vaccine was the same as a placebo you'd still only expect 71.1% of cases amongst the vaxxed - but 96%?

Unsurprisingly, many countries such as Australia, have long since banned information regarding vax status of those infected with Covid. Occasionally stuff will get leaked to the media if an unvaxxed person dies, but everything else is strictly classified.

As with Covid origins, we have to use deduction to navigate areas where info is suppressed. Why is the info being withheld by vaccine advocates? Because it's not favourable to the pro-vax movement.

This could be great news for the world, bad news for the vaccine industry and power mongers.

Yep. If i have to get Covid, then i want Omicron. In fact i'd rather get injected with a dose of Omicron than the vaccine.

The silly thing is that in many countries, including Australia, having a 'natural' infection is still not considered equal to having two-shots of vaccine - scratch - make that three shots.

That shows you right there it's got nothing to do with science - everything to do with entrenching vaccine makers into our lives.

The immune response of people infected with omicron appears to increase protection against delta more than fourfold, according to a study from South Africa.

This could be great news for the world, bad news for the vaccine industry and power mongers.

Those that are either unvaxxed - or have had two doses but the last one was more than 4 months ago - have a right to know whether there are simple accessible remedies that (a) are protective (b) decrease severity.

I've said this a few times but it keeps coming back to me: the most frightening thing is the western experts/media must be convinced they're gonna get away with it.

If they don't, it's mass murder.

Granted, it's a very small study. Interestingly, it suggests that even gargling with tap water has some effect, but the providone-iodine group hit a 100% negative on PCR tests after 12 days.

The incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was significantly lower in the "experimental" group (two participants of 114, 1.8%) compared to the "control" group (thirty-three participants of 117, 28.2%), with an 84.8% efficiency. We conclude that the mouth and nasal rinse with AgNPs helps in the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection in health personnel who are exposed to patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

A Spanish study showed no statistically significant difference in viral load after use of mouthwash.

I can't find any published discussion of this completed study out of Stanford on the efficacy of povidone-iodine (PVP-I) containing nasal sprays as compared to isotonic saline nasal sprays in COVID-19 positive patients, but the data seems to suggest that they all work to some degree. (See the Analysis Population Description section.)

There's clearly a lot of scientific interest in using mouthwash and nasal sprays consisting of commerically available ingredients, just not much in the US and certainly not in the media.

Gargling and Nasal Rinses to Reduce Oro- and Nasopharyngeal Viral Load in Patients With COVID-19

For this study, 48 patients who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 will be randomly assigned to four study groups: control, saline, chlorhexidine gluconate, and povidone-iodine. Each patient will be asked to gargle with a solution of either saline, chlorhexidine gluconate, or povidone-iodine or nothing (control group) as well as spray the same solution in their nose four times daily. Patients will then be tested for COVID-19 once daily in the evening for 7 days and viral loads will be measured.

Notice the dates on this, a start date of April 2020 with completion of May 2020. Cheap, fast, simple study, right? Well, this one was canceled.

Granted, it could have been canceled for all sorts of reasons. It may have been redesigned and launched with different criteria. It would be nice to know why.

Study: In this study, a statistically significant proportion of nasopharyngeal clearance with all strengths of PVP-I NI and PVP-I NS (compared to the corresponding controls) is observed, so our recommendation is to use PVP-I prophylactically in nasopharynx as well as oropharynx for prevention of COVID-19.

Better pick up some quick before it gets banned!

This again highlights the potential criminality of the Covid-pharma cartel. Trillions spent on experimental vaccines, and now experimental mRNA pills, while simple, cheap, safe, effective easily accessible medicines are ignored or outright banned. Many people have died as a result of being denied these treatments.

There is even some evidence that gargling salt water is effective. That would be funny - saline solutions are used as a placebo in vax trials - so if you gargled your placebo instead of injecting it then you would end up with better protection against Covid than two shots of an experimental vaccine!

Moderna is not standing around twiddling its thumbs as Omicron threatens to ruin the drug bonanza - they've come up with a strategy to institutionalize mRNA vacs - get the various client countries opening local factories which will create a self-perpetuating incentive to keep the market pumping. Think of all the jobs it will create!

Bad news travels fast. In this case, good news gets buried.

Here's a screenshot of the Google News front page from a couple days ago.

No wonder people are confused. God forbid we get good, solid, scientific, daily summaries.

It showed people were 70-80% less likely to need hospital treatment, depending on whether Omicron is compared to previous waves, or other variants currently circulating.

Prof Cheryl Cohen, National Institute for Communicable Diseases, South Africa: Compellingly, together our data really suggest a positive story of a reduced severity of Omicron compared to other variants.

There are other studies but the SA one might be the most informative since they have a low vaccine uptake rate - so we know it's not just the vax that's reducing severity.

BBC: The University of Hong Kong found Omicron was better at infecting the airways, but worse at getting into the deep tissues of the lungs, where it can do more damage.

Great. Stay the fuck out of the deep lung tissue. If you can exist in the airways then we can all get along fine.

Although Omicron could be a blessing, i can't see any reason why it couldn't mutate again to become more severe - especially with thousands of labs around the world madly passaging it through humanized mice and god knows what to achieve exactly that result.

The bottom-line is that those in greatest danger of an adverse Omicron effect are the elderly with co-morbidities - and the the drug companies.

This despite the mysterious lack of studies done on the seriousness of Omicron. Over a month ago we were told there wasn't enough data to decide whether Omicron was milder that previous strains. Amazingly, we're still hearing that same line. It's simply not plausible that there could still be no information.

Getting the BS decipherer out again, you have to deduce that there is info which shows Omicron is milder - but we can't say that coz it might cause Booster-hesitancy. So instead of giving you the hard-facts, we'll leak this silly modelling to scare everyone into believing they still need us to enforce the bio-state.

The PM Scott Morrison is taking a surprisingly sensible approach - similar to the Taiwan model whereby you encourage people to adopt certain behaviours rather than forcing them to do it. Masks for example -instead of issuing edicts where it's masks on or masks off, develop a mentality where people can take personal responsibility. But somehow that's anathema to the health experts coz they are hooked on the rush of totalitarian control.

The hardest thing now is shaking off these power-addicts and getting them out of our lives.
