Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

"Mother convicted of manslaughter "

Is she any more guilty of what her son did than the mother of a car jacker, robber, murderer, or rapist?

OneGuy: Is she any more guilty of what her son did than the mother of a car jacker, robber, murderer, or rapist?

The parents gave a gun to a mentally-ill child with ideations of gun murder. Then they ignored the child's murderous intent on the day of the murder, neglected to warn the school that the child had a gun, and neglected to check at home to see if the gun was secure.

feeblemind: mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines Caused More Deaths Than Saved: Peer-Reviewed Study

Let's start with the so-called peer review. The publisher, Cureus, uses speed dating rapid peer-review before publication, with actual peer-review occurring only after publication.

As for the paper itself, it's mostly a rehash of previously debunked claims. The authors claim that the trial period for the vaccines was too short, but Phase 3 trials were completed per protocol before the vaccine was approved for general use. They then make claims based on unfiltered VAERS reporting, even though VAERS includes many events that have nothing to do with the vaccine. They also cite a paper withdrawn because the "conclusions are not supported by the study methodology" written by one of their own co-authors. Finally, they don't explain why so many other studies, with very large sample sizes, have supported the efficacy of vaccines.

I'd say that they absolutely explained why other studies came to different conclusions. The other studies lied about the data.


Pfizer’s claim was based on the fact that only eight out of 22,000 vaccine recipients contracted COVID-19 during the trial compared to 162 out of 22,000 people in the placebo group. In total, 170 confirmed COVID-19 cases were reported in both groups.

However, the researchers pointed out that a large number of infections fell under the “suspected” COVID-19 category, which was ignored. A total of 3,410 such suspected cases were identified in the trial, which is 20 times the 170 confirmed cases.

“There were 1,594 such cases in the vaccinated group and 1,816 in the placebo. When factoring in both confirmed and suspected cases, vaccine efficacy against developing symptoms drops to only 19 percent, far below the 50 percent RR (relative risk) reduction threshold required for regulatory authorization,” the study said.

rural counsel (quoting): "However, the researchers pointed out that a large number of infections fell under the “suspected” COVID-19 category, which was ignored."

In the paper, the claim is footnoted to an opinion letter published in BMJ Opinion, which was "clarified" by the author. The paper includes what they call "suspected" cases, even though PCR tests were negative. PCR tests very rarely give false negatives, but the claim requires including every suspected case as a false negative.

Zachriel is entirely correct here. People finding one-offs in medical literature and doctors who have nutcase ideas is easy. Let me repeat, it is easy to find such things on virtually any medical subject. This contradicts entirely solid reality about mRNA vaccines. People claiming otherwise are clutching at straws at this point. It is fine to be skeptical, but the reason to ask questions is to hope for answers, not continue to show off how clever you are to merely doubt.

I used to be a regular here, but the number of conservatives who have become unhinged, playing with words and putting their fingers in their ears makes me a bit player here now.

The covid vaccine killed millions worldwide and continues to kill. Our government continues to cover this up. This isn't some right wing conspiracy. Two years ago anyone would have a good excuse to disbelieve that this could be true. Today it is willful ignorance or such complete devotion to their political party, profession or beliefs that they still can't actually admit it to themselves. It isn't a few doctors who are agreeing that the vaccine is deadly it is tens and hundreds of thousands of doctors. A noted Canadian Oncologist has just given an interview on the problem this presents for Canadian doctors. Since Canada was so aggressive in mandating the vaccine over 99% of Canadian doctors/health workers got the vaccine. He reports that now sudden stage 4 cancer is common and increasing among Canadian doctors and health care workers. It is so new and so common it has it's own name "Turbo Cancer". His research has shown a direct link between vaccination, boosters and turbo cancer. You can continue to ignore the data but eventually it will be impossible to ignore.

Excess mortality in the United States tracks with COVID waves, not with vaccination. Note that excess mortality increased before the vaccine was available and has waned since the pandemic ended.

‘Signs of Reduced Immune System Response Have Been Many’

“Over the last 18 months, there has been growing evidence of a correlation between the increased prevalence of COVID-19 infection and other pathologies, and the repetition of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine boosters. Recent works…are now evidencing causation to add to correlation, as multiple doses of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines may result in much higher levels of IgG4 antibodies, or also impaired activation of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells.

Reduced cellular immunity may be the unexpected consequence of having replaced uracil in the genetic code with N1-methyl pseudo uridine, with activation of regulatory T cells caused by the modified protein. The spike protein on exosomes may persist for more than 4 months. The mRNA of the COVID-19 vaccine was never supposed to only act in the place of injection in the muscle, but rather in the lymph nodes and the spleen. This is central to explaining the many side effects…which include the unintended consequences on the immune system. The lipid nanoparticles encapsulating the mRNA of the COVID-19 vaccines build up in the liver, spleen, adrenal glands, and ovaries. The lipid nanoparticle component is highly inflammatory. Cells that are primed to produce the spike protein are damaged. Spike proteins in the bloodstream damage endothelial cells. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibodies may have unintended consequences on other spike proteins. The residual immune memory of the original SARS-CoV-2 virus may prevent efficacy against variants. Signs of reduced immune system response have been many.

The findings also indicate potentially significant disruptions in the regulatory control of protein synthesis and cancer surveillance. These disruptions may be linked to neurodegenerative diseases, myocarditis, immune thrombocytopenia, Bell's palsy, liver disease, impaired adaptive immunity, compromised DNA damage response, and the initiation of tumorigenesis.

Multiple doses of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines lead to higher levels of IgG4 antibodies…Increased IgG4 synthesis due to repeated mRNA vaccine boosters may cause autoimmune diseases, and promote cancer growth and autoimmune myocarditis in susceptible individuals.

Impaired CD4 + T cell activation, as seen in conditions like HIV/AIDS, can result in a higher risk of opportunistic infections. For example, mycosis fungoides, which is a type of cutaneous T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of CD4 + T cells in the skin. While impaired activation of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells is not considered the direct cause of mycosis fungoides, for which the exact cause is not fully understood, it is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease…The work casts serious doubt about the protective efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 boosters also bearing significant potential adverse effects.”

Boretti, mRNA vaccine boosters and impaired immune system response in immune compromised individuals: a narrative review, Clinical and Experimental Medicine 2024.

rural counsel (quoting): Over the last 18 months, there has been growing evidence of a correlation between the increased prevalence of COVID-19 infection and other pathologies, and the repetition of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine boosters [20, 21].

So, we checked the first citation, Gazit et al. It doesn't seem to support the claim. Indeed, it states research has shown "vaccinated individuals are more protected against severe disease than unvaccinated ones, even if a breakthrough infection (infection after vaccination) occurs."

What makes you think you were anything but a bit player, just like everyone else here? (Including myself.)

Retreating into obscurity is probably the right choice when the evidence against your arguments continues to mount. The way it has about the mRNA adverse effects. The evidence continues to accumulate and compile, and the defenders keep citing older flawed studies that were designed as propaganda to deter vaxx hesitancy.

I suspect you will find that as more is uncovered and learned, the mRNA treatments will be the 2020's version of the thalidomide fiasco. Only spiced up with some of the genocidal ignorance of the 1940's by those that consider themselves our betters and thought it a grand opportunity to impose authoritarian constraints on the general public.

But there will be anachronistic holdouts like yourself that accepted the vaxx wholeheartedly, and will never be able to admit they were gullible, wrong, and foolish. Never. Just like the parents of trans kids who will defend transgenderism to their deaths, because to admit otherwise is to admit they ignorantly butchered their own children like barbarians.

mudbug: Biden to Send Troops to Stop Texas from Protecting the Southern Border

Texas doesn't have a legal right to close the border without federal authorization. Doing so impacts foreign relations and constitutes a violation of federal laws as well as court decisions protecting the right to asylum. The only viable solution is to pass new federal legislation to tighten asylum requirements and speed up the removal process for those not qualified. Fortunately, Republicans have put forth proposals to do so, and Biden has acceded to most of those provisions. Unfortunately, the Congress is completely dysfunctional.
#3.2 Zachriel on 2024-02-07 12:48 (Reply)
Another false Borg narrative. Biden had all of the legal means that Trump had to stop the illegal immigration. Instead, Biden canceled all those means in order to facilitate the invasion.
The democratic party has spent decades mandating asylum but not a single day mandating real immigration law. The 1965 democratic promoted immigration 'reform' all but destroyed actual immigration of useful legal migrants.

Wrong. By the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952:

QUOTE:
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

mudbug: By the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952

The same law also allows for migrants to apply for asylum, and the courts have held that this right generally supersedes the unilateral power of the president under 212(f) to suspend entry under the statute. A temporary ban based on a specific problem is more likely to pass judicial scrutiny.

Republicans in Congress have proposed tightening the qualifications for asylum, as well as reducing the time from an asylum request to adjudication. Biden has agreed to these provisions, but the Republicans are reneging on their own proposal.
#3.2.3 Zachriel on 2024-02-07 21:05 (Reply)
Asylum is not a "right". It is a law. The president could suspend asylum if it was being used to invade the country.

OneGuy: The president could suspend asylum if it was being used to invade the country.

People seeking asylum is not an invasion under U.S. law. The powers of the President are limited by the U.S. Constitution and by law. The current asylum system is broken and requires a legislative fix.

Are We on The Doorstep of Another Civil War?

QUOTE:
The Texas National Guard has been sent to the border to stop the flow of migrants. Roughly half of the states have declared their support for Texas.

If Democrats want to continue unlimited illegal immigration, Biden could nationalize the Texas National Guard, take control, and send it home. But what happens if Texas says no? Would Biden order the armed forces to disarm or attack the Texas Guard? Would the use of the armed forces be legal? Do Democrats care?

History tells us that civil wars happen when our country is divided and the states believe they must get involved. That time may be at hand.

The author is not advocating civil war. No one should want that, but sometimes events take on a life of their own and the rest of us get caught up in the wake.

While we understand radical change may sometimes be necessary, we are much more an incrementalist. Too rapid of change can endanger delicate social balances, so evolution is generally (but not always) better than revolution.

Fact: Under U.S. law, you can't just close the border to people seeking asylum. U.S. law requires that people who apply for asylum be given a hearing based on established evidentiary standards. Under current law, there is no practical way to hold people until such a hearing can establish the validity of their claims, which can take years under the current system.

Summer sea ice extent in both the Arctic and Antarctic is declining. Ice masses in Antarctica and Greenland are decreasing. Sea level rise is accelerating, largely due to thermal expansion. There’s never been a consensus on more regional effects, and some posited effects may not be apparent for a few decades. Regardless, the Earth’s surface is warming consistent with projections.

You probably mean the Greenland ice sheet. Interesting question. With current rates of warming, melting of the Greenland ice sheet will probably result in several inches of sea level rise over the next several decades (in addition to other sources sea level rise). Long term, it's not known with certainty how much warming will cause a complete loss of the Greenland ice sheet, but it will likely take several centuries to completely melt, leading to about 24 feet of sea level rise.
