Rand Paul Nails Fauci and Cuts to the Chase on Coronavirus Variants – Are the Vaccinated and Recovered Even Getting Reinfected or Sick?

Introduction

You have GOT to see the video I’m going to show you.

It’s not just what they’re talking about. It’s WHERE IT LEADS.

Most of the people who watch Rand Paul go after Fauci here, are concentrating on MASKS, because that is the TOP LAYER of the argument. But THAT is the small potatoes.

Rand Paul distracted Fauci to defend masks, while introducing DEVASTATING truth about variants and immunity.

Rand was not only opening up basic questions about what we should be doing in terms of allowing the immune to “bring us back to normal” in terms of wearing or not wearing masks – he exposed a SCAM being pulled by the left, in which they NEED to push humanity to a Marek’s Disease dilemma, as part of forced dependence on government, and thus to lock in socialism. I will explain that part below.

Because COVID-19 is constantly mutating, AS IT HAS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, variants are naturally causing the new infections, AS THEY HAVE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING – important – AS THEY HAVE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING – but Rand Paul is showing a deep truth of the results that Fauci is trying to hide – that “of course variants take over” – but that does not mean that people who have been vaccinated or recovered from EARLIER VERSIONS of the virus don’t have real immunity that should be letting them return to their normal lives. Just as we always used to do, and always did, with all other colds and flu.

See? It basically boils down to NORMAL vs. WEIRD NEW UNNECESSARY NORMAL.

You can see Fauci RUNNING from this and DISSEMBLING in every possible “smart” way.

Indeed, Rand Paul is hinting at the truth, and you can see Fauci hiding it. The disease seems to be becoming a NORMAL COLD AND FLU BUG to the vaccinated and recovered, once it is no longer novel. And Fauci absolutely CANNOT SAY THAT. He has to try to make us see the glass half empty, by sleight of hand, to make us focus on the SCARY VARIANTS and not the CURED PEOPLE.

It is SO SLICK. You can see that little MAFIA TWERP trying to evade, but no – he CANNOT.

Because YES – we AS A WHOLE are becoming immune, and the disease is no longer a huge threat – most of all to those who have recovered or been vaccinated.

That is, as long as we don’t do something STUPID like making it more virulent – like we did with Marek’s Disease.

And I’m pushing it even beyond THAT, because it seems to me that Geert Vanden Bossche is correct about the possibility of a Marek’s Disease outcome. It sure looks like the globonazis are “accidentally” doing the wrong thing – which will end up making all humans addicted to a vaccine by PUSHING the variants to greater infectiousness and virulence by the very act of mass vaccination using inefficient vaccines.

Only I’m saying it’s not accidental. I’m saying that they want us REALLY dependent on the vaccine (see Marek’s Disease), but to get there we have to FAKE IT to make people take the vaccine for a relatively harmless pathogen NOW.

Which is to say, Aubergine’s razor.

Are you with me?

Maybe not?

OK – there is a lot to unpack there.

Let’s START from the beginning.

Rand Paul Nails Fauci

Now – if you want to watch the video, you can do that right here.

MY ANALYSIS:

First, listen to Fauci start off with “I don’t understand….” – LIAR. Fauci immediately tries to lead away from the IMMUNE to the UNINFECTED.

This is extremely disingenuous. You can tell exactly what Fauci doesn’t want to do. He does not want any exceptions in the policy. He wants people obeying mandates.

This is where, as a recoveree FORCED to wear a mask DESPITE both IMMUNITY and HYPOXIA, I am SO PISSED OFF at all these mask martinets with their muzzle mandates.

In their ZEAL to vaccinate, people like me have been THROWN UNDER THE BUS.

So Fauci pretends to not understand. MAMET PRINCIPLE AGAIN.

So what does Fauci do? Rather than answer the question – “WHAT STUDIES CAN YOU CITE?” – which of course he cannot do – he THROWS A STRAWMAN at Rand Paul, and says “the studies you are talking about…” – WAIT A MINUTE – what studies is Rand talking about? He’s NOT. He’s asking YOU, Fauci, for studies in support of YOUR recommendations.

Then Fauci tries to shut up Rand Paul – gets him to back off a bit – and pivots back to SCARY VARIANTS, and the South African results from the Johnson+Johnson trials – with which I’m actually familiar.

Rand Paul actually NAILS Fauci on something I missed.

The J+J results tested people for antibodies – NOT CLINICAL SICKNESS. This is KEY. This is absolutely freaking KEY. We tend to forget that we MEASURE what we ACTUALLY MEASURE – not what we often THINK we’re measuring.

The J+J serological results, obtained in the course of vaccine trials, looked at whether people had antibodies to different variants at various stages in the testing, and included BOTH vaccine and placebo groups. Novavax also tested in South Africa, and also got interesting results. But the fact is, these were not tests for disease – they were tests for ANTIBODIES. And the results Fauci is talking about were BYPRODUCTS of the study. They weren’t even the POINT of the study.

This just blows up everything Fauci is saying.

Fauci is a hypocrite and a jerk. One the one hand, he DISMISSES clinical testing cases in hospitals for hydroxychloroquine, where LOGIC – PURE LOGIC – can tell you that something is WORKING FOR TREATING DISEASE – because THAT is what you’re actually measuring – but Fauci will dismiss it as not being “placebo, double-blind”.

Or worse still, Fauci ignored the “Lancetgate effect” – a statistical proof of DEATH on a societal scale when HCQ was withdrawn – showing the BENEFIT of hydroxychloroquine on a NATIONAL SCALE.

Yeah. Fauci loves statistics on a tiny, ancillary, and potentially mistaken scale, but when it’s BIG and STARK and says the wrong thing – well – then he just IGNORES them.

So what we’re talking about Fauci ignoring are studies of REAL DISEASE – not just antibodies in the blood – and LOGIC is fully operant on the results – but that’s no good for Fauci because “no placebo” and “not double-blind”.

BUT YET – here we see Fauci talking about MERE HANDFULS OF PEOPLE GETTING ANTIBODIES to the new South African variant, both having HAD the prior version, and NOT having had any prior version. That’s all it was. A mere BLIP in a much larger population of tested people.

But that is ALL YOU MEASURED – antibodies in people who walked in the door – and yet Fauci EXTRAPOLATES THIS to disease, and “no protection”.

And it LITERALLY does NOT MEAN THAT. It only means what people were tested for. ANTIBODIES. It means that getting new antibodies happens, when exposed to a new version, whether you had an old version or not.

WHOOPEE!

Now I see why people don’t think much of Fauci. He sees PROCESS and BUREAUCRACY as TRUTH. He doesn’t see the big picture – STOPPING DISEASE. Yet Rand Paul does.

Wow. Just blown away. Mikovits is right. This guy is a PROBLEM.

MOVING ON.

So here’s what happens next. Rand Paul pushes the fact that we have NO hospitalizations or deaths for people who have recovered or been vaccinated. He confronts Fauci with this. What does Fauci do? He IGNORES the question – IGNORES the challenge – and sticks to “you’re not listening” and “variants and wild type”.

Just as an aside, Fauci is helping his ChiCom buddies by calling the original version “wild type”, when it was anything but “wild”, but THAT is Fauci to the core. Evil little RAT. Bat soup, Fauci! BAT SOUP! You believe that crap?

Buzz off, Fauci, you little demon! LOL. Good grief, I hate people who abuse science like this evil gnome.

Sorry – the guy just makes me burn. “Wild Type”! Bullshit! This thing started mutating so fast, it was wild for about 5 people.

SPIT!

So Rand Paul hits Fauci AGAIN with no significant hospitalization or death, and Fauci AGAIN circles back to variants, and says we have “no variants in this country”.

Now THAT is a flat out lie. FLAT. OUT. LIE.

There is an AWESOME website called NEXTSTRAIN.ORG which has phenomenal analysis of the mutations of viruses, and has been on top of COVID-19 coronavirus mutations from the very beginning.

And I mean VERY beginning.

The site is very up-to-date as well. For example, here is the evolution of SARS-COV-2 as of this very moment:

LINK: https://nextstrain.org/ncov/global

This site leads off to another which deals with the COVID-19 variants, called COVARIANTS.ORG.

LINK: https://covariants.org/per-country

I was looking at Nextstrain from the VERY beginning of this thing. There were country variants ALL OVER the world IMMEDIATELY, and they were spreading to other countries as fast as PEOPLE WERE.

Let’s look at the situation right now. We don’t have variants?

YOU LIE!

This is what Fauci looks like when he lies. Keep it for reference.

And this is what he’s lying about.

Oh, but it gets better – look how variants were emerging from the very beginning:

So no – do NOT tell me that we don’t have any variants, Tony Fauci, you MEALY-MOUTHED GARDEN GNOME.

At that point, Rand Paul just launches into a barrage of truth. JUST LISTEN TO HIM. He is so spot on with the idea of giving people a REWARD for getting the vaccine.

Now – some Democrat chickie-poo comes in and tries to rescue Fauci – who does his best to lie his way out, saying that Rand Paul’s statements are only true about the “wild type” and not the variants. We may get into the possibility that the first “allegedly stronger variant” showing up in South Africa……

…..may be a product of more ChiCom shenanigans, as a propaganda ASSIST to the AmeriCommies and the COVID COMMIES such as Fauci – but let’s just leave that possibility aside for now.

Fauci simply cannot consider letting off on what appear to be IMAGINARY lack of protections of the recovered and vaccinated, even though there is no evidence to suggest that they are not actually protected.

WHY? Why persist in keeping people fearful, and ready for that next vaccine?

I believe it’s because they have a reason.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche’s Warning

Here is the text of his letter which you saw on Twitter above.

I personally like his video better – this interview – but it’s a long listen.

https://youtu.be/YtHfI00D_s4

Now – this guy does not spell out the possibility that we could end up with a situation EXACTLY like Marek’s Disease – but others have, because that is ONE of the “better” outcomes of what GVB is talking about.

Yeah – it could be WORSE than Marek’s Disease. But THAT is bad enough.

Here is the internet explanation of the “better” Marek’s outcome, where we are ALL dependent on a vaccine we would not have needed if we HADN’T over-vaccinated – but at least the vaccine keeps us from dying.

Here is the excellent Wikipedia description of that disease.

So – are you feeling a bit of overload at this point?

I suggest getting a drink, coming back, and listening to the NEXT GUY.

Del Bigtree’s Antibody Explainer

I am not actually a fan of this guy – but JUST because of his wonderful “football playbook” method of explaining Geert Vanden Bossche’s point about the virtue of general antibodies over specific antibodies under certain circumstances, I really have to recommend watching this.

Del Bigtree has followed this subject (vaccines for a while, and while he’s generally on the “opposite side” from me (with Del being generally opposed to vaccines), he clearly understands what GVB is saying, and makes it very easy to understand.

So here you go:

So what else can I tell you?

Well – here is a great bibliography on variants, before I wrap up.

The coronavirus variants experts are most concerned about

Conclusions

I’ll keep it short.

Between Rand Paul’s excellent questions about WHEN we should call “OVER” an overreaction to a “novel cold and flu” that was masqueraded to us as a pandemic to falsely elect Joe Biden…..

Between Anthony Fauci’s dissembling, his evasions, and his flat-out lies, to support policies which have only the trickiest and most misleading grounding in science or reality….

Between Geert Vanden Bossche’s disturbingly simple question of whether our vaccines are actually DRIVING the evolution of new and potentially increasingly dangerous variants of COVID-19…..

And between Wolf Moon’s suspicion that the “South African variant” may actually be the product of more perfectly timed Chinese bio-adventurism…..

It would behoove us to ask whether we are on the right track with mass vaccination of a NEW FLU.

Because if we’re NOT on the right track, then “my vaccine” may not kill grandma – but it could very well kill the grandkids.

And that’s not nice.

2021·03·20 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

What IS Hopium Anyway?

Based on some of the reactions to my post of two weeks ago, it became apparent that some people misconstrue where I’m coming from.

When I condemn hopium, am I condemning any and all hope? NO. It’s true that hopium is hope, but not all hope is hopium. So when I condemn hopium, I am not condemning hope as such only false and unfounded hope.

In fact, I wasn’t even dumping on all hopium two weeks ago. I was talking specifically of the kind that implies that at some date in the near future, all will suddenly become well, and more specifically, the speculation that names a date. (This is, by the way, something that Q never did, and I am aware of that yet I got criticized on that point as if I were going after Q for naming dates.)

A perfect example, someone posted a thing from John Solomon claiming the long-awaited indictments would be coming out in 4-6 weeks. That means, before the end of April. I have a couple of questions in all earnest to anyone who pays any attention to John Solomon.

  1. How many times has he promised the indictments would be coming in just a few weeks?
  2. How many times has he been right?
  3. Given the answers to 1 and 2, why in blazes is anyone still paying attention to this guy?

Or for that matter to ANY prognostication about a specific date?

I’m thinking we may finally have broken ourselves of that particular habit. Because I don’t see too much of it any more. Good.

And now to clear up a misunderstanding I did my fair share to contribute to.

I had heard others here refer to Marica’s as a place with a lot of hopium, and (my mistake!) I assumed that they meant it included this sort of date-specific stuff. Having misunderstood them, I took them at what I thought was their word. (And I probably shouldn’t have trusted them at all, much less expected them to mean the same thing by hopium as I do.)

So when I said later on that they really needed to get off the hopium, I meant the date specific stuff. And when I went over there later, and picked a random page off that day’s daily…I found no date specific stuff! So I was wrong about that, not that one would necessarily be able to tell, since *I* failed to define my terms. Regardless, it was factually wrong and I apologize.

Not that there isn’t hopium of other types, there, and here.

The emphasis over there is quite a bit different. They’re Deplorable over there, of course, but a lot of the content is about peoples’ personal lives, their other hobbies, their current difficulties, and so on. It may or may not be more your cup of tea than this place (which is 90% politics); if you think you need a change of pace, go have a look-see over there.

OK, one other thing to get out of the way. Someone (either there or here, I do not remember) seemed puzzled that I could say that I believe something is happening, when I clearly don’t believe the “movie set” and “Trump is really in charge” interpretations of today’s events. Am I contradicting myself or backing off from that?

No, because that word something could literally mean a trillion different things, and I don’t believe it means either of the two things I mention above. Trump is doing something, but I doubt it’s a countercoup; more likely he’s doing a bunch of stuff behind the scenes to discredit a lot of bad actors, and trying (quietly) to fix the fraud issues and trying to defeat the worse-than-useless dogpuke RINOs. A lot more mundane than what many are thinking, but it’s all important stuff that has to happen one way or another.

Justice Must Be Done.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Lawyer Appeasement Section

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines,  here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

Spot Prices

Last week:

Gold $1728.90
Silver $26.03
Platinum $1207.00
Palladium $2426.00
Rhodium $22,000.00

This week, 3PM Mountain Time, markets have closed for the weekend.

Gold $1746.90
Silver $26.33
Platinum $1198.00
Palladium $2688.00
Rhodium $29,000.00

Just when I thought Rhodium might start returning to sane levels…it jumped right back up again. Iridium, too, is going bonkers, in the realm of $5000. It’s a congener of rhodium. (That’s a fancy word meaning “in the same classification group as.” In chemistry, specifically, it means it’s in the same column of the periodic table, which tends to govern chemical properties.)

What’s causing the PGMs other than platinum to go up while platinum is in the dumpster (relatively speaking)? (And the PGMs are: Platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium and osmium.)

According to one analysis I read, it’s platinum being in the dumpster that is causing all of these problems! (And I can’t verify this, but it makes sense.)

The other PGMs are not mined in their own right; they are quite rare and specifically going after them is uneconomical. Since they do appear with platinum, they are a byproduct of platinum mining. So production of them halts when platinum production halts, and resumes again once someone starts mining platinum.

And platinum was produced a lot back in 2008-2009, to the point where it became a glut on the market. And it is still a glut on the market. Then Covid came along and killed what little platinum production was still going on. The analysts expect this to continue to be a factor until 2024-25.

If they are correct, it’s still a good time to get into PGMs, however, I at least really can’t afford to do so. On the other hand if rhodium, for instance, were to hit $100,000 or more it might just force a restart of platinum mining!

Watch your tailpipes. Your catalytic converter has about $400 in rhodium in it (which as you might imagine, is not much). There is a rash of practitioners of socialist economics thieves sawing off tailpipes on certain model cars now.

Ruthenium

Ruthenium.

We have five precious metals to go, having done silver, rhodium, platinum, and rhenium already.

Rhenium is very difficult to find in bar form, and so is this week’s metal, ruthenium. (Even rhodium is showing iup in bar form at Kitco, PAMP is making bars now.) Ruthenium is one of the “platinum group metals,” that block of six metals tucked in under iron/cobalt/nickel. If you find a nugget of one of these metals, the others will be in that nugget as impurities.

(It’s important not to confuse the two names even though they’re very similar. Rhenium and ruthenium are different things, even if the only difference in spelling is the “ut.” It’s of the “ut”most importance not to let this confuse you.)

Ruthenium’s density is 12.45, which makes it a bit heavier than lead. But do not use it for bullets; the bad guys are barely worth the regular cost of ammo. And it would probably wreck your rifling, being a lot harder than lead (even jacketed lead). Besides, you’re going to have a very difficult time casting it! It melts at 4,233 F (2607K, 2334 C), which is pretty darned hot–about like the filament in an incandescent bulb (2400K), but other precious metals would shrug even that amount of heat off (e.g, rhenium, which melts at 5767F or 3459K). To give you another notion as to how hot this is, iron melts at 2800 F, 1811K.

Ruthenium was, in fact, the last of the PGMs to be discovered, in 1844, by Karl Ernst Klaus. Don’t let that name fool you. He had German/Baltic ancestry, but he was born in the Russian Empire (and indeed, many Russian scientists had very Germanic names, at the time). He named the element ruthenium, after Ruthenia, the Latin term for Russia.

It appears that Klaus discovered ruthenium while going through the residue left over when refining raw platinum for the Russian platinum ruble coinage that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. And indeed the timing is right, the series was produced between 1828-1845.

Ruthenium has some catalytic uses (like rhodium, platinum, palladium and iridium), but not to as great an extent, so its spot price seems to be roughly $385-400 depending on exactly where you look. It seems to be slowly climbing. But even so, it’s by far the cheapest of the PGMs…if you can find it in bar form. It usually trades as “sponge” which is to say loose powder.

China is Lower than Whale Shit

Remember Hong Kong!!!

Whoever ends up in the cell next to his, tell him I said “Hi.”

中国是个混蛋 !!!

China is in the White House

Since Wednesday, January 20 at Noon EST, the bought-and-paid for His Fraudulency Joseph Biden has been in the White House. It’s as good as having China in the Oval Office.

Joe Biden is Asshoe

China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.

But of course the much more important thing to realize:

Joe Biden Didn’t Win
