Polling vs. propaganda

An anonymous doctor’s perspective on what’s permitted to be publicly discussed regarding vaccine injuries:

“Only one polling organization independently investigated it, Rasmussen Reports (a conservative polling organization which has a reputation for getting accurate results due to them having listeners punch answers in response to an automated voice rather than directly talking to someone who may bias them). For American adults, they found:

  1. July 2021: 32% believed public health officials were lying about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.
  2. December 2022: 56% of 1000 respondents believed the vaccines were effective, 57% were concerned the vaccines had major side effects. Most importantly, 34% of those vaccinated reported minor side effects and 7% reported major side effects (e.g., those seriously impairing their quality of life).
  3. January 2023: 49% believed it is likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths and 28% personally knew someone whose death may have been caused by side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. 57% wanted Congress to investigate how the CDC handled assessing vaccine safety (presumably since many suspected the CDC had covered up the dangers of the COVID vaccination program).
  4. March 2023: 11% of those surveyed reported that they believed a member of their household died from COVID-19, while 10% believed a member of their household died and that their death may have been due to a side effect of the vaccine.
  5. September 2023: 47% of those surveyed stated they did not believe the vaccines were safe and 34% did not believe they were effective. As before, these results also politically stratified as Democrats were less likely to believe the vaccines were unsafe (14% D vs. 51% R) or ineffective (17% D vs. 57% R).
  6. November 2023: 24% personally knew someone they believe died from a COVID vaccine, and of those individuals, 69% would be likely to join a class action lawsuit against the pharmaceutical companies.
  7. January 2024: 53% believe it is likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths and 24% personally knew someone whose death may have been caused by side effects of COVID-19 vaccines.
  8. September 2024: 55% surveyed believe it is likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths – including 30% who say it’s very likely.
  9. November 2025: 26% reported they had minor side effects from the vaccine and 10% reported major side effects. Additionally, 46% believed it is likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths – including 25% who say it’s very likely.

In short, the data shows you aren’t crazy, and while the news is not reporting it, the majority of people are seeing exactly the same thing you are. There is no getting around the fact a lot of people were harmed by these vaccines.”

I knew two women who died in mid-2022 in their late sixties who probably had vaccine injuries contributing to their shortened lives. The subject wasn’t allowed to be discussed earlier this decade, and it largely still isn’t.

Everything this article says about covid vaccine injuries is applicable to the childhood vaccines. I found out at a house party earlier this week that both subjects are verboten, especially with women who have preschool children, despite their libertarian orientation.

Don’t know what will change public acknowledgement of vaccine harms. Isn’t it obvious that we were and are being lied to? Why still trust untrustworthy professions?

I thought at the beginning of this decade that people would soon see through the propaganda, but that didn’t happen. I also thought that public punishments for crimes against humanity would penetrate people’s awareness that we’d been duped, but the guilty still run free.

Celebrate Mozart’s 270th birthday

“Mozart’s motet, Ave Verum Corpus, was composed in June of 1791, for his friend, Anton Stoll, a school teacher and choirmaster of the small parish church of St. Stephan in Baden, a spa-town located near Vienna which was famous for its hot thermal mineral springs. Mozart’s wife, Costanze, was pregnant with their sixth child and was ill, and so she was staying at the Baden spa for treatment (“taking the waters”).
The work was written almost as a payment to Stoll, who had often helped Mozart by making travel arrangements to and from Baden for Constanze. Writing very simply, Mozart was perhaps conscious of the limitations of a small-town choir, the manuscript for this work is dated June 17, 1791, and was presumably intended for the feast of Corpus Christi, which fell that year on June 23.”

Timeout for memes

Starting this blog’s eleventh year with meme relief.

Every day I challenge myself to read at least one paper with which I strongly disagree. But I don’t want to fill up my life and this blog by curating papers that detract from science or are a waste of resources.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll return with Max Planck’s observation that science advances one funeral at a time.



Don’t leave any battles for your children that you should have won

This is a perspective of a U. S. military member who refused to obey unlawful orders earlier this decade:

“Dr. Sam Sigoloff is one of the three US military doctors who, under whistleblower protection, reported on the Defense Medical Data Base (DMED data) that showed evidence of widespread injuries sustained by US active service members following the mandated covid 19 injections.

It’s illegal to tell me to take a EUA drug. It’s not a lawful order. The only lawful order is if they actually had Comirnaty, which doesn’t exist. We have seen no evidence that it exists.

Look this says, safe and effective. That’s a false statement. We know it’s not safe nor effective. And effective isn’t even the word that we should be looking for. We should be using the word efficacious. Efficacious means it does what it’s supposed to do, meaning what we expect it to do, as you and I expect it to stop disease. It doesn’t do that.

There is no justification that you have to give. If you don’t want to do it, you don’t do it. If you keep wearing a mask, this will never end.”

What can’t white tea do?

An effusive 2024 review of white tea’s beneficial effects:

“This comprehensive examination contributes nuanced perspectives, paving the way for continued research, innovation, and integration of white tea into diverse consumer preferences. Overall, white tea emerges as a multifaceted beverage with far-reaching implications for health, wellness, and the future landscape of the tea industry.”

I didn’t see a mention of white tea drinkers’ ability to levitate and fly the astral plane like the Red Bull commercials. Maybe it’s just obvious?

Confirming a smell and taste anecdote

My sense of smell returned this time last year per A smell and taste anecdote. Yesterday my primary olfactory nervous system had exceptionally strong function: Freshly ground coffee; roses; the last lemony magnolia flowers of the season; the period pad of a woman in her forties as we exchanged greetings from ten feet away on our opposing beach walks; decomposing reeds and other annual vegetation near a trail.

Most of the credit goes to taking ProdromeGlia and ProdromeNeuro every day. The company hasn’t mentioned that effect in their promotion material or Dr. Goodenowe’s videos AFAIK.


I still spend 3-5 hours a day reading abstracts and studies, and material that challenges my ideas and beliefs. I skip over obvious propaganda, but it’s so pervasive that occasionally I slip.

Here’s a 3-minute excerpt noting November 5:

A visible act of God

I’ve seen four acts of God in my life. This post is about the third.

The first two happened to me. It’s been one month since we all saw the fourth. The recipient characterized it last night when prompted by Elon Musk:

“It’s very much an act of God. It’s a miracle that it happened, and I’m honored by it, I’m honored by it.”

Forty years ago, when on my third submarine, I was in the control room, standing watch as the contact coordinator. I didn’t have much to do because we were on the surface at nighttime, rolling and pitching in heavy seas, and no other ships were crazy enough to be near us.

The officer on deck KD was alone topside in the sail. The lookout normally stationed with him had been sent below decks because of the seas.

The ship’s captain KS was on the #1 periscope scanning the horizon. The chief-of-the-boat was in the control room monitoring water coming through the latched-open hatch.

After one pitch, a hundred gallons gushed into the control room, followed by the unlatched hatch slamming shut. I remember thinking KD had a minute to live if he wasn’t already drowned.

The COB and the captain immediately started to crank open the hatch. Although there were hundreds of pounds of sea water on top pressing it shut, it couldn’t wait to be drained.

After what seemed like a long time, the COB and captain drenched themselves opening the hatch. They ran up the ladder, unhooked KD’s safety harness, and lowered him thirty feet into the control room.

The ship’s hospital corpsman checked KD’s vital signs as satisfactory, and he and the COB took KD below decks. After closing the hatch, the captain reversed course, and informed the chain of command of his decision.


I was raised to be religious. My first impulse is to not necessarily interpret what I see as coincidental.

Back to July 13: I haven’t understood viewpoints contrary to a visible act of God during this past month. Can people discard what we’ve all seen? Have we been propagandized sufficiently to believe what we’re told and not our lying eyes?


It may seem from studies I’ve curated on this blog that I think there’s something people can individually do about extending our lifespans. But I don’t believe that. And why is almost everybody doing things in their lives that encourage reducing their healthspans that may shorten their putative lifespans?

I don’t have an opinion as to whether an individual’s life has a determinable purpose revealed by an act of God. I didn’t get purposeful revelations the first two times acts of God happened to me like what happened to my namesake on the road to Damascus. It just wasn’t my time to die. I lost track of KD and KS before timely soliciting their opinions.

No más

“It is difficult to overestimate how much this Supreme Court just historically and permanently altered the landscape of federal government overreach. I believe this unimaginable improvement in our national prospects was the inevitable result of the Supreme Court observing the government’s wild and painful overreach during the pandemic.

In other words: vaccine mandates.

We’ve longed for a lone decision saying HHS and OSHA can’t just arbitrarily order people to take experimental medical treatments they don’t want. We didn’t get that. But what we did get is arguably and breathtakingly much, much better. The Supreme Court took the long view. They’ve changed everything – including but not only medical freedom – for the better.”

What can be done today to fulfill early unmet needs?

Got agitated earlier this week watching Tucker Carlson’s freely-available interview with a maniac who thinks he’s graduated into a higher state by worshiping the Great AI (Artificial Intelligence, aka Automated Internet, inhabited solely by robots) which will dictate every aspect of what to do with his life. Nevermind that behind the Great AI curtain are the same people who have lied to billions of us, especially during every day of this decade.

Are his current set of beliefs better than previous ones he had of putting a chip into everybody’s brain? What’s wrong with getting to live your own life?

5000

What I saw expressed in the interview was an exhausting pursuit of substitutes for feeling loved. I doubt that many others saw the same, because feeling unloved is so devastating we’ll do anything to avoid it.

But re-experiencing early memories and feelings of unmet needs in a therapeutic setting is the way to keep them from subsequently running our lives. Otherwise, we’ll develop unfulfilling substitutes for what we missed, with misdirected ideas and beliefs accompanied by their unconscious act-outs.

While speaking with a mother who is doing a terrific job of meeting her six-month-old’s needs, I attempted to contrast this interview with the experiences she and her husband are giving their child. Maybe if they read this post, my poor explanation will become clearer.

A head slam anecdote

1. I had some head trauma on Day 146 of an extended 90-day trial of plasmalogen precursor supplements. It happened when ordering dinner for delivery to three people while visiting them a half-dozen states away.

Order status notification was Delivered, but when I went downstairs, I couldn’t find it on either the front or back porches. In the middle of wandering around an unfamiliar house during twilight, I tripped, and head-butted a wall.

2. I’m a little concerned about a 4 cm x 3 cm scalp scrape. Maybe the scar will become a tattoo?

I’m more concerned about the skull / brain impact and cervical disk compression I felt. There have been subsequent symptoms like not understanding simple things my hosts said, and other glitches in me perceiving reality.

Getting medical professionals involved in possible injury treatment won’t happen, though. I lost trust in them because of their actions this decade.

3. Taking daily plasmalogen precursor supplements may have cushioned effects of this head slam. Two days afterwards, though, I ran out of ProdromeGlia, which has been out-of-stock for over a month. Other Prodrome non-proprietary products I don’t use are also out-of-stock. Not a desirable business metric.

There are a hundred ways a small business can screw up customer relationships. It may help for management to emphasize a customer’s value when assessing inventory. Here’s one way to calculate a customer’s monetary value:

Our grandchildren’s grandchildren

Starting this blog’s tenth year with admitting to a National Geographic Alaska show compulsion. There’s something fascinating about seeing a subsistence lifestyle that I’d never choose.

1. A recent Life Below Zero: First Alaskans episode “Rite of Spring” included a visit to remains of a childhood home that had been swept away in a 2009 Yukon River flood. Some of the dialog:

“He put in his will that this land wasn’t ever to be sold or divided. It was for his grandchildren’s grandchildren.”

Nice thought. It’d be better, though, if a person would be around to see that generation of their descendants. Which is impossible when someone risks their survival day after day.

2. A Life Below Zero: Next Generation episode “Uneven Ground” showed a couple and their child repairing an access road, to include clearing trash from their property that’s on a former military installation. I’d guess that there’s a zero percent probability that they weren’t also exposed to leftover environmental toxins in their property’s soil and water.

3. Speaking of which, the park I played in as often as possible until age twelve was mentioned in two articles published decades afterwards:

“They’ll have to deal with toxic waste from incinerator ash dumped on the land as fill that’s buried up to four feet deep. Redevelopment of a water park at the adjacent Grapeland Heights Park required removal of 80,000 tons of soil at a cost of $10 million. Soil tests conducted by DERM in 2006 showed elevated levels of several contaminants, including barium, copper, and dioxins.”

The Melreese Toxic Gamble

“Toxic trouble at the Melreese site was also well-known. The city got an expensive lesson in the problem in 2005, when buried ash with dangerous levels of arsenic, lead, and other contaminants were found at Grapeland Heights Park, the popular park with ball fields adjacent to Melreese.”

Toxic soil under golf course is a legacy of Miami’s dirty past. There’s a lot more out there

I haven’t had toxicity tests after learning about this a few years ago. Too easy to get thoughts, feelings, and behavior trapped in What was not, is not, and will never be.

4. My oldest grandchild and I had a conversation about their environmental angst, which apparently was due to just reading about pollution. I didn’t say much, or sugarcoat anything, or otherwise dismiss concerns.

I think my teenaged grandchildren will be alright, but it’s also up to each of them and their own actions. Too early to expect to see their grandchildren.

I get pollution and death reminders on every beach walk from brown foam and washed up debris of formerly living things. Focusing on those aspects would take away from a beach walk’s other experiences.
