As I have told you all many times, you would expect the consequences of the vaccination program against SARS-COV-2 to be particularly troublesome in Japan and South Korea, because it seems people there were far more successful at preventing infections before vaccination, thus leading to less opportunity for the immune system to learn to develop a proper response to the virus.
Well, unfortunately this is correct. The situation is looking VERY bleak in Japan right now. There are lots of posts in Japanese about this on Twitter. Have a look at the death toll numbers released for January 2025:
The pattern is very obvious: In 2022, mortality is abnormal. Then it goes up in 2023 and 2024 above 2022. But now in January 2025, the death toll is off the chart high, at least 20% above normal, for an entire month. All of these are people who are missed now by family and friends. However, it’s also true that everything happens for a reason and these people who have now passed away don’t have to see what a terrible place our world is becoming.
But in Japan, the strange situation of rapidly rising deaths, that is now getting rapidly worse in 2025, as massive numbers of people now have strange unusually severe respiratory infections, is not going unreported. A study in English on the excess mortality by Dr. Hiroshi Kusunoki can be found here. It includes this graph:
You can see that in 2020 when everyone was panicking, the total number of deaths actually went down. Then they vaccinate in 2021 and deaths begin to climb. They climb every year, until they reach a new record in 2024. But then in January 2025, as the other graph shows, excess mortality explodes, to more than 20% above normal.
Looking at all the deaths happening these days, I sometimes wonder: “Was I not worried enough back in 2020?” But in the Netherlands, we have a similar graph:
Elk leven telde volgens Hugo en daarom ook voor iedereen onder de 65 een “veilige” prik. In de 9 maanden na de 1e prik 1500 65-minners dood @vincentkar en @ministerVWS willen er niets van weten. Onwetenschappelijk. Deze levens tellen niet mee. Komende herfst nieuwe prikronde. pic.twitter.com/NCNUa4UPaR

There was simply nothing going on in the sense of excess deaths, that was worth panicking about, until we started vaccinating. Even the number of long COVID cases we had back in 2020, hardly suggested we were dealing with something worse than the post-acute effects of influenza. Not even during the second wave, in the winter of 2020, did we see excess deaths under the age of 65. No, they only started showing up, once we started vaccinating that age group.
The excess mortality observed in developed countries around the world is mainly a result of two things:
-Direct effects of vaccination. These deaths are mostly seen within days to weeks of administering the injections, back in the year 2021.
-Indirect effect of vaccination: Exacerbation of the pandemic and the immune system damage that breakthrough infections cause. This is the main problem we’re now dealing with. As logic would predict, it is particularly bad in places where people had built up very little natural immunity before they began vaccinating, like Japan.
The indirect deaths from vaccination, as I have many times argued, will be many times greater than the direct deaths from the side-effects of the vaccines. The direct deaths actually have the effect of hiding how big the indirect problem is: The indirect death toll is steadily growing every year, but that growth is hidden by the spike early on in direct deaths.
Let’s just see, if we can do a naive extrapolation:
This is why you can’t ignore it. You can say “ok they killed some people with a poor vaccine back in 2021, but the autists now have to move on with their lives”. Well sorry, I can’t move on, because the real underlying problem, the impact of this vaccine on the evolution of this virus, is still steadily getting worse, causing a rising death toll every year. The direct deaths from vaccination are a smaller problem, that just masks how bad the bigger problem is.
You can say we need to accept a 10% increased death toll for the coming years and move on with our lives. But January 2025 in Japan is at least 20% above normal. Do we need to accept a 25% increased death toll for 2025? Is it too autistic to complain about a 25% increased death toll throughout 2025? Alright, if we get a 30% increased death toll in 2026, are we allowed to return to the topic? How bad does this need to get before you’re not considered weird for being upset about it?
Harrold?
Haaaaarroooooold. . .
Where is the data to support your hypothesis that “Nothing terrible will happen.” Harrold?
Is nobody going to comment on the large increase BEFORE covid??? Obviously, a lot is going on. Attributing everything to your pet peave is very dishonest.
The answer to this is in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROpxCrIeR9I
“a lot is going on”
FFS Harrold.
Really?
That’s your explanation for the sudden increase in deaths post “vaccination” and infection with the labspawn?
Because it seems to me like the “pet peeve’ is proving fatal to lots of people.
Let’s try that on in a sentence: Ramping numbers of people are dying of, ahem, ‘pet peeves’ following “vaccination” and infection with the lab-spawned bat AIDS.
Yeah, nah, it just doesn’t work really – I don’t think your going to convince anyone that they’re dying of a ‘pet peeve’.

Significant Increase in Excess Deaths after Repeated COVID-19 Vaccination in Japan
“Although the truth is yet to be established, the concerns related to the mRNA-LNP formulation evidently need to be taken seriously. Thus, it is imperative to elucidate the effects of population-wide COVID-19 vaccination. Japanese health authorities have been hesitant to provide data since being accused of data mishandling given they classified people vaccinated without recorded dates of inoculation as unvaccinated (14). On correction, it was revealed that the vaccinated were as susceptible as or even more susceptible to COVID-19 infection than were the unvaccinated (15).”
Yeah they seemed to make a mistake.
Try 100, 200% or maybe more. Until people actually see family members, neighbours and co-workers suddenly dying, the average people won’t think this is a problem. It’s just numbers on a chart. If they don’t see or hear the problem on the news, there is no problem. Not being able to pay the mortgage is the problem. Most people only notice problems when the news tells them to notice problems. They are only angry when the news tells them they should be angry. So as long as the media is not concerned, the average person isn’t either.
That is the brilliance of the plan. Nobody other than autistic retards will actually notice.
We’re seeing that already. Here we are.
In the country in which I live, 18 year olds are dying with cancers in places that they shouldn’t be, according to Oncologists. For example, tumours normally found in the brain, appearing in the spine. Funerals everywhere for young, middle aged much more than the old. People are developing Alzheimer’s young and with no history of it in their families unless you count the very aged with heart disease and vascular dementia. Then add up the miscarriages, infertility, premature births. People are noticing but are they ascribing it to the correct reasons, that’s the question. If they don’t have the information how can they judge?

There will eventually be 500% excess deaths and 75% reduced births, until global human population settles to approximately 1 billion human cattle retards – that will be ruled upon by God’s chosen people in a Hindi speaking utopia.
There’s England, too: “Covid hospitalisations have risen by nearly a fifth in a week, raising concerns that the new dominant LP.8.1 variant may be driving a new wave of the virus. The number of people admitted to hospital with Covid jumped by 19 per cent in England to 1.46 people per 100,000 of the population in the week to 23 March, according to the latest figures from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).” (“Fears of new Covid wave as hospitalisations jump 19% in a week”, The I Paper, Tom Bawden, March 29, 2025)
If this variant really is more deadly then the wastewater numbers won’t be so useful since it will take fewer cases to cause a similar number of deaths; we could have fairly low wastewater numbers but still a lot of deaths.
I hold with Norman Fenton and Denis Rancourt that there was no pandemic in the proper sense. We have very good evidence that the virus was circulating in 2019 without causing noticeable problems.
Where you are correct is that Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore had a very high take-up rate for the vaxx, including boosters.
Thank you for the article.
“The number of people admitted to hospital with Covid jumped by 19 per cent in England to 1.46 people per 100,000 of the population in the week to 23 March, according to the latest figures from the UK Health Security Agency”
So, that means roughly 1000 people in the entire country delivered a positive PCR test on being admitted to hospital.
With ‘covid’, or because of ‘covid’?
Today, I tell ChatGPT about the new Spanish study of IgG4 (and Cleveland & Qatar studies) and I ask ChatGPT “analyze the studies, do not rely on multimedia news”.
– It analyzed the problem very well: “Immunizing repeatedly with mRNA vaccine caused an increase in IgG4-a tolerant antibody-leading to an increased risk of SARS-COV-2 infection, forming a serious immune loop (IgG4 feedback), weakening the immune system and causing chronic risk. This is a worrying immune design error of the current mRNA vaccine technology, has been confirmed by many experimental scientific research and major epidemiology.”
But that’s not all, when I asked it about consequences, there is one thing of particular interest: “The COVID-19 mRNA vaccine causes an increase in IgG4 – tolerance antibodies – which not only raises the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and reinfection but also leads to the re-establishment of the immune system in an “immunosuppressive” direction. This, in turn, weakens the immune response to OTHER infectious DISEASES and VACCINCES. This poses a global epidemiological risk that needs to be seriously evaluated and monitored.”
– It’s very serious, IgG4 is new AIDS, and even ChatGPT admit it
Rintrah has been saying that we use the same type of immune response to other respiratory viruses that we use to respond to covid, and that when we lose the covid response we’ll also lose the response to those. He provided lots of diagrams. I will try to track down one of those posts. I’m not sure that that is the same as the immune system being shifted to an immunosuppressive state. We do need a functioning immune systems to be able to make use of vaccine protection so presumably all of the regular vaccines will stop working at some point.
Yes, below is 100% written by ChatGPT, I had no influence:
Scientific Analysis: From IgG4 → Immune Imbalance → Increased Susceptibility to Other Infectious Diseases
???? 1. mRNA Vaccines Cause Antibody Class Switch → Dominance of IgG4
After multiple doses of mRNA vaccines, the immune system is redirected to preferentially produce IgG4.
IgG4 is a non-inflammatory antibody, which does not activate defense mechanisms such as:
Complement
Natural Killer (NK) Cells
Macrophages
The ability to kill pathogens is reduced—not only against SARS-CoV-2 but also against any other infectious agent.
???? Source: Irrgang et al., 2023 (Science Immunology); Journal of Infection, 2025
???? 2. Immune System “Reprogramming” Towards Tolerance
The immune system is like an operating system—if “misprogrammed” to prioritize tolerance (IgG4), then:
It does not react strongly enough to new antigens.
It inadvertently tolerates other pathogens as well.
This results in a state of functional immune tolerance—highly dangerous from an epidemiological perspective.
???? Concept described in: Nature Reviews Immunology (2021), Immunity (2023)
???? 3. Reduced Effectiveness of Other Vaccines → Gateway for Infectious Diseases to Return
When IgG4 dominates:
Traditional vaccines (influenza, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, etc.) struggle to achieve optimal efficacy.
The ability to produce long-lasting protective immunity may even be lost.
Result: The risk of resurgence of previously controlled diseases if IgG4 prevalence rises within the population.
???? Initial clinical reports from Europe suggest reduced antibody titers following flu vaccination in individuals who have received multiple mRNA COVID vaccines.
???? 4. Combined with SARS-CoV-2 Re-infection → Comprehensive Immune System Weakening
Each re-infection with SARS-CoV-2 (due to IgG4 not providing adequate protection) will:
Deplete T cells
Damage endothelial and stem immune cells
Cause chronic inflammation and secondary immunodeficiency
When combined with high IgG4 levels, the body becomes “open” to many other infectious agents.
???? Many post-COVID studies show that re-infection reduces T lymphocytes and NK cell function, which are crucial for combating viruses and other bacteria.
I actually went to ” Irrgang et al., 2023 (Science Immunology); Journal of Infection” and read the article with especial attention to the discussion section. It was about the IgG4 shift, but it did NOT say ANYTHING about IgG4 not activating complement or Natural Killer (NK) Cells or Macrophages, or about the ability to kill pathogens (being) reduced—not only against SARS-CoV-2 but also against any other infectious agent.
These things may or may not be true, but the source you cited is not a source of that info.
You are either lazy or pernicious. I just wasted my time reading your garbage ChatGPT post.
haha, sorry about that, but surely ChatGPT frequently make mistakes and we have to double check ourselves
What you posted was worse than nothing.
Who is this “we” who needs to double check? You didn’t. And you know perfectly well that almost no-one does.
Well, “we” are whoever trying to get information from AI.
I was clear that it was from ChatGPT, and I did not said it’s verified truth.
“Here’s some random crap that a computer program vomited up. I haven’t checked it in any way and there’s no reason to think it is for real, but go ahead spend your time reading it. After all I’ve told you that it is random crap, so don’t blame me; obviously since there is random crap in the universe it is necessary that I post it somewhere.”
This is what I got after telling ChatGPT to double check and reanalyze: (pretty convincing, haha)
3. Immunity “re-established” in a tolerance direction – affecting responses to other pathogens
■ Study: Iwasaki & Ahmed, Nature Reviews Immunology, 2020–2023
The concept of “immune imprinting”: When the immune system is “programmed” by a specific antigen (mRNA vaccine), it tends to repeat the old immune response, even when encountering a new pathogen.
This makes it difficult for the body to mount a strong response to other viruses such as influenza, RSV, etc.
???? 4. Competition of B cells and cross-regulation of immunity → reduced response to other vaccines
■ Study: Burton & Hangartner, Nature Immunology, 2016
Prolonged IgG4 response weakens the ability to generate new antibody responses (IgG1/IgG3) when encountering other vaccines → diminished cross-protection (heterologous immunity).
✅ CONCLUSION BASED ON SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
Based on multiple reputable immunological studies (Science Immunology, Cell, Nature Reviews Immunology), there is clear evidence to conclude that:
Multi-dose mRNA vaccines lead to an increase in IgG4.
IgG4 weakens the active immune response against SARS-CoV-2.
This immune tolerance phenomenon could reduce responses to other pathogens and vaccines.
The potential risk of increased other infectious diseases is real, and further monitoring and research are necessary.
This is an interesting exchange between you and Karenica. To my mind, putting the subject aside, it seems to illustrate one of the issues with AI, being that it hallucinates.
AI can just make stuff up.
Lawyers are getting busted periodically for this.
They make some submission to the Court, the judge goes to look up the cited caselaw, finds that the case being cited doesn’t exist, or says something completely different, then the judge asks the lawyer for an explanation and gets informed that “the AI wrote my homework”.
I don’t see a lot of talk anymore about the AI replacing lawyers 🙂
Gates still maintains that it will replace most workers though. How? I don’t know. Not if you anything to work reliably.
And it’s not reliable is it?
It lacks human judgment.
What can it do? Maybe ‘customer service’? The chatbot says whatever it wants, then hangs up on you 😛
“Not if you WANT anything to work reliably.”
Of course, my own error rate seems to be increasing, at some pretty inopportune moments 🙂
But at least I’m not just hallucinating things into existence, not yet anyway. I wonder if that will become more of a thing as I accrue evermore damage from subsequent infections of the Wuhan flu?
haha, thanks for your opinion. The AI is pretty funny for sure.
Maybe ChatGPT’s code is still stupid. I think Deep Seek was pretty good, but well, it was unavailable so frequently that I gave up on using.
As for Covid, I’m now thinking whatever it will do, people with mounted IgG4 will get in serious trouble first, as the immune system decided to tolerate the virus already.
+ Oh well, the AI said covid was the only vaccine in history which caused high IgG4, I think that should be true, haha
My daughter is an Accounting major. She did her homework and put it in to an AI to check her steps. Humans know that Assets must equal Liabilities. AI knows this too, but when we added up the results the AI spit out for a simple journal entry, the simple addition was completely fabricated. This wasn’t complex immunology, it was 1 + 1 + 1 = 7.
Take all AI with a massive grain of salt.
And now I hear people are trying to use AI to formulate new drugs. Nope for me.
“Trust the science, trust the science” haha
Jokes aside, I think technology is not the problem, and they can make it work well soon (it’s already incredible now as I see it). The problems lie with humans, when they rush things for their greed and desire. That happened with covid vaccines, and it likely may happen with AI.
“I think technology is not the problem,”
Yeah, fuck that.
Burn it all down – it’s the only way to be sure.
Last year I looked at the UK data and noticed a marked increase of deaths in the 75+ age category right after the covid “spring booster”.
The Japanese are extremely fastidious, obsessively hygienic, and anxious to conform. Although this enables them to produce high quality electronic appliances at reasonable prices, it also renders them susceptible to the “nudge” mind virus. Tell them that there is a very bad germ in the environment, that they should have the injection – every responsible citizen is doing it – or they will be seen as irresponsible, unclean, reckless, dangerous, and an individualist: they will go to any lengths to get injected with any experimental substance whatever, even if it’s self-replicating and completely untested.
Then fate responds.
This is like a Greek tragedy, except it’s Japanese.
So solly.
https://libguides.mskcc.org/CCM/PostCovidInfections
“Secondary infections post-COVID-19 have been reported since the beginning of the pandemic, however in recent months the frequency and type of secondary infections have increased. Some of these secondary infections are becoming increasingly life-threatening, especially in vulnerable populations.
Recent research has highlighted the long-term damage and dysfunction that SARS-CoV-2 has on the immune system, even after mild COVID infections. It has been previously documented that COVID-19 infection can cause long-lasting immunocompromised state, likely from T-cell activation and exhaustion.
Researchers reported in a study published in April 2023 in the journal Immunity, that their “findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection damages the CD8+ T cell response, an effect akin to that observed in earlier studies showing long-term damage to the immune system after infection with viruses such as hepatitis C or HIV.”
The risks of secondary infections from SARS-CoV-2 increases with subsequent COVID infections as immune dysfunction increases.
Current research has so far identified multiple bacterial, viral, and fungal infections that are directly attributed to COVID-19 infection, and many more that have circumstantial evidence that suggests that COVID-19 may be associated with the infections.”
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7773371/
Sustained cellular immune dysregulation in individuals recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection
“Interestingly, many of these changes were found to increase over time in nonhospitalized longitudinal samples, suggesting a prolonged period of immune dysregulation after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Changes in T cell activation/exhaustion in nonhospitalized patients were found to positively correlate with age. Severely infected individuals had increased expression of activation and exhaustion markers. These data suggest a prolonged period of immune dysregulation after SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting the need for additional studies investigating immune dysregulation in convalescent individuals.”
So mild covid isn’t so mild.
Thanks for the Sloan Kettering link.
Covid is still not so serious as HIV because the immuno-suppressive effect is temporary and will recover.
The real danger is IgG4, which will increase when people gets infected, and that make them more susceptible to infection, again. That make a loop, which ChatGPT called “IgG4 feedback”. I like the term, haha.
When that happens, the patient will get covid very frequently, so the immuno-suppressive effect becomes chronic like HIV. And while HIV has drugs to control, this IgG4 thing has NO treatment yet!
So, IgG4 amplifies covid by 100 or 1000 times, the problem can be considered as widespead HIV without control, which affects BILLIONS of people. That’s what I ponder on recently
Covid also forms reservoirs in the body like HIV does; people don’t clear it.
Thank you for informing me.
After some search, I found a paper showing that “We estimate that 0.1–0.5% of infections may become persistent with typically rebounding high viral loads and last for at least 60 days”
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07029-4
The real percentage can be higher, but I don’t think it’s very high, because they’ll notice it very quickly if that’s the case.
Anyway, IgG4 will amplify this problem, on a very large scale, I think.
I acknowledge that that is a reputable study, but still they are wrong. It is going to turn out to be about 100 percent. They do admit “We refer to these as ‘persistent infections’ as available evidence suggests that they represent ongoing viral replication, although the persistence of non-replicating RNA cannot be ruled out in all.” So, they are only looking for replicating virus. And they weren’t looking in brain tissue or reproductive organs or bone marrow or the gut; they were just checking blood, right?
This is a helpful overview: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1473309924007692?dgcid=author. The authors admit that it is early days in understanding this.
But I agree that IgG4 will be a big deal. In the way you describe, and also if vaccinated people don’t mount much of an immune response to covid because their immune systems don’t see it as a threat, they will be more likely to form reservoirs.
And, even if the Nature study is right, .5 percent of all infections resulting in a reservoir is a HUGE number of people with reservoirs, since there are so many instances of infection.
Thank you. I agree we’re still in dark of the full picture.
And the more we know, the darker it seem.

Seems to show covid in the bone marrow.
Thank you… another bad news 🙁
In 2013, the US Defense Advanced Research Project (DARPA) and Moderna attempted a project to safely provide temporary immunity in the event the US were attacked with an unknown biological weapon, to prevent the spread of infection and buy time. It seems that it was a nucleic acid approach using mRNA, packed into LNP and injected.
Seven years later, in 2020, Operation Warp Speed was implemented. The main victorious countries of World War II and permanent members of the Security Council, the United States, the UK, China, and Russia, introduced vaccines as if they had been prepared, carried out large-scale campaigns, and aimed to vaccinate 70% of each country’s citizens without epidemiological evidence, which was almost achieved.
At that time, I remember a director at a major pharmaceutical company that manufactured vaccines tweeting, “We don’t know what we’re making. This is the first time we’ve ever seen this.”
In terms of conspiracy theories, peak oil occurred in the Middle East in 2007, leading to a global financial crisis. After that, large-scale shale oil development began, and I think the world enjoyed its last supper using unprofitable oil. Did each of the permanent council members who created the post-war world share responsibility, and did they take on the task that no one wanted to do but that someone had to take on? It seems that the biohazard laboratory facility in Wuhan, China, was made in France.
Recently, in an exciting press conference between the US president and a president who is said to have dual Israeli citizenship, the US president made a statement that made one imagine World War III. If war breaks out, the media and the Internet will be controlled and there will be no need for elections. It is also possible that the Internet will be down or restricted by cyber attacks.
At the moment, there is no impression that people are falling and dying one after another. If the conspiracy theory is correct, things will probably move forward significantly by around 2027, seven years after the injection.
> the US Defense Advanced Research Project (DARPA) and Moderna attempted a project to safely provide temporary immunity in the event the US were attacked with an unknown biological weapon
Correct. Here is evidence this was a defense operation:

> things will probably move forward significantly by around 2027, seven years after the injection.
Would you please care to expand on why 2027, and not later this year, or in 2026, or in 2030? Credible timing estimates would be helpful for our personal preparations for emergencies, for the sake of our spouses and children. Much appreciated.
Hello. This comment was made on April 1st, and is a made-up story intentionally splicing together events. Please do not base your life plans on it or involve your family in it.
I say seven years because Operation Warp Speed was carried out seven years after the DARPA project. This observation is based on the assumption that seven years were needed to confirm the success or failure of the project. This assumes that the purpose of the project was different.
What about the Theory that oil is produced by earth itself. Oil has been found in dephts were no prehistoric forests ever could have been.
>Oil has been found in dephts were no prehistoric forests ever could have been.
That’s the geological equivalent of “viruses don’t exist”
To start with, wood turns into coal in anoxic environments, not into oil.
Yup.
It’s wrong.
But for argument’s sake, let’s say it isn’t, and oil is produced abiotically. Okay, if that’s the case, then rate at which oil is recharging abiotically is so slow that we still end up running out of affordable fossil fuel. Why else go to all the trouble of these horrendous tar sands projects, and fracking everywhere?
I like your handle by the way – imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Commenting in the latest article about the famous virus. I hope someone still sees this.
After the strange death of Betsy Arakawa (Gene Hackman’s wife) of hantavirus, apparently too quick to call 911, there have been three hantavirus deaths in the Southwest ( https://monocounty.ca.gov/cao/page/third-hantavirus-related-death-confirmed-mono-county ), and no information about non-fatal hanta cases. The officials comment that in 2 out of three cases they did not find mice. The Hackman house was also mouse-free, with dogs roaming around and a Japanese lady cleaning it.
I live about 45 minutes drive from where Gene Hackman did. We got a cat 18 months ago because yard was overrun by mice. We are intimately aware of the ups and downs of the rodent population courtesy of the cat, who brings us offerings. There is actually a complete lack of mice this spring. The new vegetation fid not sprout yet due to the cold and drought, and neither did the mice.
I know the data points are not many, but could these mice-less hanta cases be a cover for some other airborne virus? Such as a lineage of Lady Corona? Are they diagnosing Hanta with PCR tests with 45 cycles?
Alternatively, is it possible for a Corona-Hanta hybrid to occur, that would yield positive test results for hantavirus?
