You must now suffer the heartache of placeholder.
This is a placeholder.
Most of this post is boilerplate, but with sprinkles of minor mirth.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Wolfian Wednesday Persnickety Placeholder and Open Topic, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Wolfie’s WOO-WOO Wednesday, due to the author’s expected rambling about his most WOO-WOO opinions. Please bear with us!
We are living in an episode of The Outer Limits.
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s WEDNESDAY…again.
So are we halfway through the week? Is this really HUMP DAY?
Let’s try that again.
OK – maybe Wheatie’s rules need to be posted on Wednesday, too.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a pure placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday Wednesday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!
How did Q put it? Ah, yes.

OK, people. I was going to use this placeholder to post about a recent essay by Robert Malone, regarding MAHA and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. This is a great essay, and I hope you will read it.
Let me just pull a teaser out of this essay. It is a preface of a book by a naturalist and explorer, who was a member of the wealthy family that brought you Tabasco Sauce.
Yup. Tabasco Sauce. That man was a friend of Malone’s great-grandfather.
Here is the quote:
Let those who would live happily and approach the inevitable with a peaceful mind, take heed to nature’s teachings, live a natural life; watch, listen, and think; for the more of these three things you do, the sooner you will realize that your happy, natural fate, lies solely in yourself and your life on earth, and not in the future.’
-McIlhenny
It’s a nice essay that I think many of us “older” people will enjoy.

I will hereafter refer to this as the “black box post” – because it basically describes the “core” of AI as a kind of “black box” that people don’t fully understand, but which I would describe as “emergent intelligence that seems like us, and therefore impresses us”. Childers does a great job in describing what we know and don’t know about it, in easy-to-understand language.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
incompossible
adjective
incapable of coexisting
not capable of joint existence
incompatible
inconsistent
not mutually possible
mutually exclusive in logic
Used in a sentence
Leibniz’s well-known thesis that the actual world is just one among many possible worlds relies on the claim that some possibles are incompossible, meaning that they cannot belong to the same world.
Question: Is mRNA vaccine technology incompossible with “gold standard” treatment, if it is not part of the “Generation Gold Standard” universal vaccine platform for “pandemic” viruses?
I remain surprised that nobody in public is talking about mRNA technology being EXCLUDED from the new vaccine platform being promoted by HHS and NIH.
Is this due to the fact that, if nobody ever talks about the elephant in the room, then nobody will talk about it when it leaves the room? If so, then strategic opportunities abound!
Next Question…..
Is autoimmune disease in COVID-vaccinated kids the end of the shots for kids? First, what’s happening…..
BREAKING: HHS to END COVID-19 Vaccine Recommendations for Kids & Pregnant Women
With over 600,000 estimated COVID shot deaths in the U.S., HHS moves to roll back CDC guidance—amid mounting criminal referrals, legislative efforts, and growing calls for a complete moratorium.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration—under the leadership of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—is preparing to end routine CDC recommendations that pregnant women, teenagers, and children receive COVID-19 vaccines. This decision, expected to be announced in the coming days, represents a long-overdue departure from current ill-advised CDC guidance, which still urges vaccination for everyone aged six months and older, including during pregnancy.
Well, take a look at this. Is this why?
TL;DR / BLUF – COVID vaccines, not COVID, cause autoimmune problems in kids, and they do it about 9 months later, on average, thus escaping scrutiny.
NEW STUDY: COVID-19 Vaccines Increase Risk of Long-Term Autoimmune Disease in Children — Not the Virus
A massive study of 493,705 children found a 23% increased risk of developing autoimmune disease after COVID-19 vaccination, with symptoms emerging about 9 months after injection.
During the COVID-19 pandemic there were reports of an increased association between COVID 19 and various autoimmune diseases (AID) in adults. This study aims to investigate the incidence of AIDs in children before and during the pandemic and explores potential links to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
Methods
We analyzed 493,705 anonymized medical records from Maccabi Healthcare Services, Israel’s second-largest healthcare provider, to study AID incidence during 2014–2022. The study period was divided into three phases: two pre-pandemic phases of equal duration (A and B) and a pandemic phase (C).
Results
Of 4,596 (0.9%) patients diagnosed with an AID in the cohort, incidence rates were 0.9% for Group A (2014–2016), 1.0% for Group B (2017–2019), and 0.9% for Group C (2020–2022) (p = 0.13). Logistic regression showed no significant differences in overall autoimmune disease incidence between the pre-COVID and COVID periods. Notably, specific conditions like celiac disease showed reduced incidence in Group A (OR 0.8309, p = 0.0071) while arthritis was significantly more common in Groups A and B. Additionally, COVID-19 diagnosis was not significantly associated with increased autoimmune disease risk (HR 1.092, p = 0.491); however, receiving at least one COVID vaccine was linked to higher risk (HR 1.2323, p = 0.0033).
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that the overall incidence of new-onset autoimmune diseases in children remained relatively stable during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study indicates a potential association between COVID-19 vaccination and an increased risk of developing autoimmune diseases, necessitating further research to elucidate long-term effects in the pediatric population.
Suddenly the multiple cases of “sudden new autoimmune problems” among my vax-friendly liberal friends and neighbors make a lot of sense.

The Strategy I See Behind the New “Universal Vaccine Platform”
Some of you have to be asking yourselves why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems to have gone from being an opponent of vaccines, to being a proponent of them. I will try to explain.
To begin with, it helps to read the following document (H/T to PAVACA for producing these images). You can use this link, or the images below it.
HHS, NIH Launch Next-Generation Universal Vaccine Platform for Pandemic-Prone Viruses
It is hard for me to put into words, how much of a change this really is. But let me give you a quick “TL;DR” list of the big-ticket items.
Big Pharma is completely cut out of this platform – it’s US government owned and driven.
The vaccines are designed to be resistant to evolution of the pathogens they protect against. The vaxxes themselves are immune to “scariants”.
The vaccines completely abandon mRNA, cDNA, recombinant antigen, spike protein, lipid nanoparticle, and all genetic and related technologies.
The vaccines abandon Fauci’s always-failing strategy of targeting current variants, and instead seek to handle both current and future variants.
The result is fewer and less frequent shots. The better the shot, the more this is true.
The vaccines must pass rigorous safety standards, or otherwise fail to be approved.
The vaccines change direction and focus, from smaller subunits to whole-virus immunity.
The vaccines are potentially capable of inhibiting transmission.
IMO this is not just about changing the vaccines – it’s about changing minds in government science.
Most scientists, sadly, are sheep. They have neither the courage nor the inclination to challenge anything in the current scientific narrative – particularly as reported by our toxic media. If the media says “most scientists believe X”, then most scientists think this is true, and won’t bother to check, much less actively disagree.
The evil media has trained us all to believe certain myths.
There will be more and more exotic diseases coming at us from nature
There will need to be more and more vaccines, and more and more injections of them
Vaccines get better by using newer technology, not by working better for people
Vaccine hesitancy is a bad thing, and must be prevented at all costs
Vaccines are all safe, and rumors that any are bad, are dangerous
Apparently, despite the iron fist of Faucism, somebody in NIAID was thinking in ways that lead in the opposite direction from where Pfizer was taking us. I suspect that these forces sat tight, waited for “reinforcements to arrive” (Trump, RFKJ, and Dr. Jay), and had their proposal working up the chain of command as soon as Trump won.
Will this vaccine approach work? IMO it will work better than mRNA. Whether it works well enough to pass Kennedy’s new standard, based on comparison to placebos and true controls, is another question.
For the sake of those who still want vaccines, I hope so.
I suspect that these vaccines will be safer than mRNA, but not completely safe – particularly with a pathogen like COVID. As long as these vaccines are not mandated, I’m OK with their existence. In any case, the vaccines will have to prove themselves safe and effective.

From the throats of herons and lost wolves, we learn of a mistake made by the gods. They gave us red-winged birds and vesper sparrows who make songs of leaf-light and flying. The gods thought we’d be so happy— all that fruit, one big garden, our nakedness in sun and water. They never counted on our needing a sound for longing, too. They gave that to the loon, to wild dogs whose teeth throb from the light of the moon; they poured it into the long necks of birds. How could they have known? Where in our bodies would they have moored the slender cry of the crane who calls out that night is closing the sky, taking away the glinted green of the frogs’ moist backs, the dazzle the sun makes of every hair, of every shining wing?

Here is the second of TWO videos covering the topic.
Not sure I’m buying this, as my colleague, Prof. Suspicious Cat, has questions similar to those mentioned in the video, about the significance and interpretation of the role of the diffraction grating, and its potential behavior in lensing at odd angles.
