I’ll be serious again. Have a look at this:
An analysis of CDC data shows that cases of influenza-like illnesses in doctors offices and urgent care centers appear to be higher than they’ve been in at least 28 years — when the agency first started tracking the information.
That’s the United States. In Japan, it’s the same. They have never seen anything like this since they started measuring in 1999. Australia had its worst outbreak of influenza ever seen a few months ago.
In the Netherlands, we now have so many people sick with influenza, that people are just being sent home from the hospital with oxygen, to get better at home.
If it was just Japan, I would think “oh perhaps it’s because they were wearing masks”. But I think it’s pretty obvious by now, what it is: Immune system damage. It’s not some special mutation in Influenza, it’s not some new hybrid between regular influenza and H5N1 either. The reason is simple: The other viruses are misbehaving too, metapneumovirus in Japan reached unprecedented levels a few months ago too.
What you’re looking at, is damage to the immune system, observed through most of the human population. It seems to be a combination of damage from SARS-COV-2 and damage from the vaccination campaign.
Let me remind you again, of this:
This is the model, for what happened that led to the 1918 influenza being so destructive in isolated communities. The most isolated communities had exposure to a single previous influenza strain years earlier and ended up with a whole bunch of cross-reactive T cells against it, leading to excessive inflammation.
On the other hand, the non-isolated ones had exposure to various respiratory pathogens which led to trained innate immunity (alteration of the alveolar macrophages), enhancing their ability to process viral particles, along with a balanced and diverse T cell response.
Something similar is seen in SARS-COV-2 and Influenza. When you catch SARS-COV-2, your alveolar macrophages in your lungs are trained. This is what we call trained innate immunity. That training of your alveolar macrophages then has the effect, of ameliorating a subsequent influenza infection.
And the alveolar macrophages have some other cool tricks they perform too. When the alveolar macrophages are trained by exposure to an influenza infection, that subsequently allows them to provide you with long-term immunity against lung cancer, as they become better able to target these cancerous cells. This anti-tumor immunity is dependent on interferon gamma and on natural killer cells.
This is part of the reason I’m not a big fan of the idea of masks and cleaning the air either. We evolved with all these pathogens in our environment, they perform a role that our body is used to. I know some immunologists became eager to now just end our exposure to respiratory pathogens altogether, but I would say: Put your hand on the Bible and swear that we don’t set ourselves up for new problems down the road as a result.
The other reason I don’t like it is because it’s a slippery slope. I also look at all the children getting sick now and think to myself: “Well, maybe we should put UV-C lighting in classrooms, just kill the germs.” But you know when you start with this approach, it’s never good enough. Transmission still continues, but now it takes place elsewhere, so you will want the lights there too. And then eventually you’ll look at a crowded Christmas market, where most transmission of germs now takes place and you’ll say: “Well we can no longer afford that risk.” If you are not careful, you sleepwalk into dystopia again, but now you would make it permanent.
But my main point is as following: When people are not vaccinated against SARS-COV-2, we know what happens: The innate immune system has to do most of the job against the virus, resulting in trained innate immunity, that is effective against unrelated viral pathogens too (see: the trained alveolar macrophages working against influenza). But vaccinate the kids and they end up with antibody levels against SARS-COV-2 that are a thousand times above normal. So now you have the adaptive immune system doing most of the work, rather than the innate immune system.
SARS-COV-2 will mutate to avoid that adaptive immune response, at least it avoids the parts that actually works. It continues recalling the antibodies that enhance infection, but it will avoid the potently neutralizing ones. As a result, you end up with more and more B cells and T cells in the lung environment, that are reactive with SARS-COV-2. Those cells are competitive with other B cells and T cells.
Almost every element of the immune response, is competitive with other elements for scarce resources. B cells compete with each other over access to T cells. Innate lymphoid cells compete with T cells. And most important perhaps, T cells compete with each other. You do not have infinite numbers of T cells circulating in your body, with every vaccine you get boosting their numbers. No, when you are vaccinated and some of your T cells get to proliferate as a result, this means all your other T cells have to reduce their numbers.
Those T cells stimulate B cells. The B cells underwent a class switch, from IgG3 (very potent neutralizer) to IgG4, which is much less competent at neutralizing viral particles. You can substitute quality for quantity, boost the levels of IgG4 enough and you’ll presumably still neutralize the SARS-COV-2 viral particles. But again, all the elements in the immune system are competing with each other. When you have a whole bunch of B cells producing mediocre IgG4 antibodies in your lungs to deal with SARS-COV-2, there’s not a lot of room for the rest of the adaptive immune response that your lungs need against other respiratory pathogens.
The science is clear on this: Live vaccines generally improve the immune response against unrelated pathogens, by training innate immunity, which looks for conserved molecular patterns seen in various unrelated pathogens. Inactivated vaccines however, tend to worsen the immune response against unrelated pathogens, by stimulating an adaptive immune response that interferes in the response to unrelated pathogens.
Contrary to the long-held belief that the effects of vaccines are specific for the disease they were created; compelling evidence has demonstrated that vaccines can exert positive or deleterious non-specific effects (NSEs). In this review, we compiled research reports from the last 40 years, showing that live vaccines induce positive NSEs, whereas non-live vaccines induce several negative NSEs, including increased female mortality associated with enhanced susceptibility to other infectious diseases, especially in developing countries. These negative NSEs are determined by the vaccination sequence, the antigen concentration in vaccines, the type of vaccine used (live vs. non-live), and also by repeated vaccination. We do not recommend stopping using non-live vaccines, as they have demonstrated to protect against their target disease, so the suggestion is that their detrimental NSEs can be minimized simply by changing the current vaccination sequence. High IgG4 antibody levels generated in response to repeated inoculation with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines could be associated with a higher mortality rate from unrelated diseases and infections by suppressing the immune system. Since most COVID-19 vaccinated countries are reporting high percentages of excess mortality not directly attributable to deaths from such disease, the NSEs of mRNA vaccines on overall mortality should be studied in depth.
This is all stuff I have been explaining to people over the past four years. And now you are seeing the result: An outbreak of a cocktail of various respiratory pathogens. And now you are seeing new scientific studies, proposing what I already explained to you years ago. Not bad I would say, for a guy with a blog.
There isn’t really an easy way out of this. When SARS-COV-2 disappears, what happens is that antibody concentrations start go down, allowing the virus to return. You would have to really aggressively suppress this abnormal adaptive immune response you induced in the lungs in most of the human population, if you wish to stop this.
There’s also competition for susceptible cells, between SARS-COV-2 and the other respiratory viruses (metapneumovirus, influenza, etc). While those viruses circulate at high levels, SARS-COV-2 becomes dependent on cells deeper in the body to spread between people, due to viral interference. That seems to explain why S:679R is only now suddenly very fit, despite first emerging over a year ago: It makes it easier to fuse cells together and use enzymes like furin for cleavage.
As long as the abnormal immune response induced by the SARS-COV-2 vaccines persists in most of the population, this is just the situation we’re stuck with. SARS-COV-2 is now forced to evolve to become an increasingly systemic virus, as long as this global wave of other unrelated respiratory viruses dominates the lung environment.
Don’t blame me for this. Go knock on Mr. Bourla’s door and ask him:
-Hey, why does the immune system now produce IgG4 antibodies against a respiratory virus, instead of IgG3?
-Hey, why are the antibody concentrations measured in vaccinated children a thousand times higher than the concentrations in naturally immune children?
From “safe and effective” to sad and defective…
Those are a couple of excellent questions for Mr. Bourla under oath.
It might actually happen with The Donald in power.
The winds of change are blowing.
The Donald is the one who made this catastrophe with operation warp speed.
The actual decisions were made by the NSC. Fauci was just a media front man: https://debbielerman.substack.com/p/fauci-was-not-in-charge-of-covid
Thank you Rintrah. I often fantasize about building a research coalition with you and other renegade scientists.
Tying all your microlevel knowledge in with macrolevel data. Even though you dont know me. If somebody could send you a couple of millions, it could do Wonders. Im working on the capital accumulation part. However, it will take a couple of years. A wait we can hardly afford.
Ed Dowd is an advocate of revealing the truth about the covid shots. He is also an ex-fund manager, and works with his research firm, Phinance Technologies. He might be a great contact for your project.

Let me state here that I do not doubt any of the things you’re writing about Covid.
BUT…
what situation exactly are we stuck in?
Not in scientific terms but applied to every-day life.
Will “this global wave of other unrelated respiratory viruses” that “dominates the lung environment” end at some point and will the SARS-COV-2 then not be forced to evolve to become an increasingly systemic virus anymore?
What does “systemic virus” exactly mean applied to every-day life?
Also you repeatedly say that you told “us” what would happen, but what could “we” have done about all of this? Who is “you”? The people who read this blog? Who else could it possibly be?
I appreciate that all of this is indeed always very interesting – same as the GVB writings once were before he lost his integrity by hiding – but I’m starting to wonder how I should process all of this constant information.
If this all should to become unfolded in one or two decades, what should I do with that knowledge over this time period?
Or will something happen soon? If so, when? 6 Months, 3 years, 10 years….and what will happen specifically?
You see, I’m just trying to point out my state of confusion of how to process this continuous information of doom. And I can imagine other people to feel that way too
Again, I don’t doubt your scientific expertise but I’m starting to doubt the actual usefulness of all these essays for laymen as I strongly doubt any influential scientist is reading this or any serious scientist doesn’t already knows this.
So what’s the point?
(Really, this in not at all intended to be a put-down – I’m really asking myself these questions)
As a side note, maybe read this substack article that is floating around the world right now. It’s maybe a different or additional perspective.

By the way, same processing problem on my part here, maybe even worse.
Rintrah is charting what is happening as we go along. If it weren’t for him we wouldn’t have a chance at putting the pieces together. Having an accurate model of reality is always a good thing, and it can help in ways that are hard to predict . Those who had a flawed model of reality in 2021 ended taking the jab for example.
I appreciate your sincerity and candor, Grandy. I feel the same. Something about doom & gloom attracts me, especially (I think) because I’ve been challenged because of my choice to not be jabbed. Maybe because I believe in common sense and want to see the physical forces of the world demonstrate that we can’t bullshit our way through life and expect a good result. I think a big part of me values cosmic justice to be on par with peace.
Grandy,
The situation we are stuck in is that SARS2 is going to keep re-infecting, causing systemic damage, until the end point (defined later). Sytemic here means damage to multiple organs. Specifically all the organs SARS2 can infect, which is all of them as far as I know. This means brain damage, neurological degeneration, damage to heart, lungs, digestion, reproduction, immunity, etc.
In everyday life this will manifest as people developing, at younger and younger ages, diseases/disorders that used to be seen only in the elderly. Imagine how badly society will function when 20-40 year olds routinely develop advanced heart disease, senile dementia, etc and need assistance with the tasks of daily living. If the majority of your population needs caregivers, who will provide the care?
The systemic aspect of SARS2 is built into it’s structure. Radagast has written prior posts explaining the function of the polybasic cleavage site. It will never lose it’s systemic nature. If SARS2 were to “not be forced to evolve to become an increasingly system virus”, then it would evolve in some other direction that would be to our detriment. As long as it keeps circulating, it keeps evolving. To “win” this arms race with the virus, the human immune system must innovate in a decisive way preventing further re-infection and circulation.
For now, SARS2 will keep re-infecting because the highly covid vaxxed can’t develop sterilizing immunity. Instead repeat infections wear them down. The highly vaxxed are the majority of the population, so the population cant develop herd immunity either.
The end point is when the population has herd immunity. That can only happen when those who can’t form immunity are a small fraction of the population. There is a formula for determining how big this fraction can be. I’d be happy to post the specifics of the formula, but it’s not relevant to your question. I’ve run some estimates. The highly vaxxed (non-immune) can be no more than roughly 5-20% of the population, depending on the specific features of a virus that doesnt exist yet. Since that virus hasn’t evolved yet, we can only guess about it’s features that are relevant to the formula. I should note that the formula is not new and has been in use for decades.
To illustrate, let’s say the formula for herd immunity results in a max fraction of non-immune of 10%. Imagine you have a population of 100 million, and 30 million are unvaxxed. If herd immunity sets the maximum fraction of non-immune at 10%, that means the unvaxxed have to be at least 90% of the ending population. That means the ending population will be no more than 33.3 million because 30 million is 90% of 33.3 million. The difference between the starting population and the ending population is the number of highly vaxxed (non-immune) who must die for the ending population to have herd immunity.
100 million – 33.3 million = 66.7 million
This is complicated by observations suggesting that some of the vaxxed are able to form immunity. If half the vaxxed are able to form immunity, then the numbers change radically. Way fewer vaxxed have to die for the population to have herd immunity. The percentage of unvaxxed in each country or state varies widely, resulting in large variations in the formula result.
The formula says nothing about the time that will elapse from the start to the end point.
It could happen really slowly, spanning decades, and manifest mainly by people dying at younger ages, alongside babies who are born but don’t get vaxxed. This would increase the size of the unvaxxed population over the years, while reducing the size of the vaxxed population. Modern medicine may be able to provide treatments that prolong the lives of the highly vaxxed.
It could happen really fast if the virus were to make an evolutionary jump such that it fully evades existing adaptive immunity, thus triggering GVB’s tsunami of hivicron. Or it could be something in between. These are random biological events whose timing cannot be predicted.
What’s the point?
We can all make choices going forward that are different from what we would choose if we didn’t understand this future. The unvaxxed can choose to set aside funds or space in their homes for family/friends who may have nowhere else to go in the last months or years of their lives. We can encourage family/friends to see a doctor earlier than if we didn’t understand this. We can act earlier if the professionals we rely on seem to be making mistakes, rather than just brushing it off. We can expect towns to shrink, and so maybe not buy that remote parcel at the very edge of the grid, and instead buy the one closer in that might still have utility services 10-15 years from now.
The vaxxed will have to address estate planning earlier than they would have otherwise. It would be wise to make conservative choices that reflect the odds that you may have a shortened career due to a shortened productive work life. Long term care insurance and disability insurance may become more important earlier than would have been the case otherwise. Not a complete list, just a few random ideas.
There is no guarantee that humans will ever reach truly effective herd immunity against SARS2. We won’t know until we get there. It may be that when SARS2 has killed most of the vaxxed, it will adapt to the remaining now-majority population of unvaxxed and start wearing them down too. If that is the case, the release of the SARS2 bioweapon will prove to be the end of Homo sapiens and, since we are the last species of genus Homo, that will also be the end of our genus.
About the Debbie Elerman substack Covid Dossier… As a society we must correctly diagnose the cause of the problem so that we can avoid a repeat in the future. Those who are alive now may not live to see the benefit of revealing the truth and preventing recurrence, but we must aim to leave future generations with a viable social structure based on integrity and virtue, rather than on corruption and virtue signaling.
So in our final years, the adults alive today must prepare for their own demise earlier than we would have otherwise, and before we go we must try to fix the ills that caused this problem.
Wow, excellent summary TM.
As you say, the the real X-factor here is how fast things will unfold. I think GVB has lost his credibility and I tend to believe it will be many years / decades. If I go with the theory that all this was pre-planned and pre-designed (which I tend to lean towards), then they absolutely would not have wanted any rapid collapse event. What they would have wanted, and what they have so far 100% received, would be a “soft-kill” or “slow-kill” where society keeps going, just at incrementally lower function, giving time to adjust and soft land on a reduced population. What they would not want under any circumstances is a “Day of the Dead” scenario where 75% of the population just drops dead and everything collapses. That leads to basically a 99% death rate as nobody is self sufficient in today’s world. Or maybe I’m being too optimistic. If the GVB theory is true, we should all be setting up 100% self-sufficient farms right now…
So yes, it could be the end of OUR genus, but what about new ones? I believe that this process will most likely naturally select a sub-species of gene transfected (genetically altered) humans who will be “spike protein resistant.” It’s something I think about often, who will “win” in the end, the gene transfected humans or the original ones? It’s not the “slam dunk win” many unjabbed people think it is. If “resistant” people emerge who are genetically altered to produce spike proteins that are toxic to the unjabbed, it’s the unjabbed who will lose…
I agree on the desired pace if this was pre-planned, which is an explanation that I also lean toward. A fast collapse is what I call the knee-deep-in-the-dead scenario, and any depopulation that leads there would have been avoided. The problem is that those who pre-planned this are not uber-competent evil masterminds. After much thinking I’ve concluded they are arrogant incompetent dummies who like to imagine they are smarter and better. In short they think they are super-humans, but are at best merely midlin.
They very likely set in motion something they thought would not hurt them (ie they are unvaxxed) and that they thought would preserve their cushy lifestyle and avoid a collapse. But like the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, they’ve released powers they don’t understand and cant control, and they certainly have not foreseen all paths into the future.
We cannot know how nature will resolve this mess. Strange and unexpected things have and will happen. There are no guarantees for anyone. Including our not-so-bright overlords who have grossly overestimated their own abilities.
The Covid infectious clone was devised and globally dispersed by the world’s poorest of the poor as a YOLO biological effort in strategic nihilism. Business as usual means that the world’s poorest would have been the first to die. Under Covid, however, the poorest of the poor will be the last to die and perhaps they might be the end survivors.
That‘s what I‘ve been telling politicians, journalists, self-made scientists since 2022: Goethe‘s poem about the Sorcerer‘s Apprentice exactly mirrors the situation we are in. To quote the English translation:
„ Lord and master, hear me crying! –
Ah, he comes excited.
Sir, my need is sore.
Spirits that I’ve cited
My commands ignore.“
No one will listen. They don‘t understand what‘s going on in the background. I doubt if the makers of this evil virus (and the vaxgenes!) really were ahead of all of their plans. You cannot fool nature. Not a single human being is able to do this. So, they ALL will be caught off guard – as GVB always says.
I agree. Even Geert does not know when or how fast this will end. I doubt the creators of this situation know much more than him. Geert’s failed prediction was made on Vejon Health. He explained it was for psychological reasons, to get people’s attention, more than a scientific prediction. A politician never would have done that, but Geert is not a politician. We do not know how Mother Nature will end this. She bats last.
Geert did say he made his last message in January, and part of me interprets that as him saying around March or April, and I might honestly stop listening if we make it to the end of the year. Prior when he said he didn’t know, he indicated something indefinite. However, as you mentioned, things like this could take years to decades, and that seemed to be the case with Marek’s disease, and that gradually became more virulent.
You are correct. The vaxxed retards protect the unvaxxed retards from viral evolution that would be more deadly to the unvaxxed. Once all the vaxxed are dead, then the protection for the unvaxxed will be the outdoor and much less dense subsistence farming lifestyle that the unvaxxed will already be living in order to survive.
The job of the Covid is to collapse the massive multi-ecosystem planet killing industrial machine. This it will do, in the fullness of time.
Yours sincerely,
Retard
Hey Retard, remember when you said that the ultimate plan from the globalists is to eventually blame everything on the COVID vaccines? Well with RFK Jr. being confirmed today as HHS secretary, that prediction is one step closer to reality.
Normie sheep always look for a shepherd to lead them into the slaughterhouse. Normies can never think for themselves. RFK will put the lipstick back on the Big-pharma pig and the normie retards will be lining up again in no time – this time with the big stamp of RFK approval.
From my observations, there’s much less covid and likely this trend will continue. Maybe it’ll sometimes mutate and produce a deadly variant but that will be the end of it (killing the host stops the spread). I think such mutants have already occured (e.g. in April 2024 in Chile) and by killing the hosts the deadly variant stopped spreading. Another issue could be disease enhancement for people who have been vaccinated which basically means you would have antibodies that make it easier for the virus to infect your cells, the opposite of what they are supposed to do. This is a rare occurence though. Expecting this to happen on a significant portion of the vaccinated population is fiction imo. And what GVD claims is total BS, which he continues to profit from financially. Personally I use sodium bicarbonate, silibinin, zinc and vitamin E in case of a cold or flu. If I don’t feel better in a day, I would fast for a day or two (hasn’t happened since I got covid in jan of 2021).
It is not going away. Check the wastewater in Boston; it is spiking again like crazy. There was a big summer wave and that is why the winter wave has been delayed. Also other respiratory viruses are temporarily driving it out, but that is now ending. I would be thrilled if you were right but you are not right.
I checked, and a quick look tells me it’s about 60% less than the previous winter.
Look at the trajectory: https://data.wastewaterscan.org/?plantId=b50c6424&selectedLocation=%7B%22label%22%3A%22Boston,%20MA%22,%22level%22%3A%22plant%22,%22value%22%3A%22b50c6424%22%7D&charts=CjIQACABSABaBk4gR2VuZXIKMjAyNS0wMS0wMnIKMjAyNS0wMi0xM4oBBjMxNjgyNMABAQ%3D%3D&selectedChartId=316824.
There was a huge surge last winter in the Boston area. Then last month, a sizable surge. Now there is another sizable surge. If you add together both of this winter’s sizable surges, it equals nearly last winter’s surge. It is just divided in time. And, it is going straight up now. And look at the RSV; I don’t think that it is a coincidence that covid is starting to go up just as RSV is going down.
Every fucking time there is a lull people think it’s over.
@karininca it’s nowhere near last winter levels. You need to zoom out. Really, the Boston data just proves my point. It’s like 80 or 90% less then a year ago.
You aren’t reading what I wrote. There have been two peaks so far this winter; they combine already to about 90 percent of last winter’s peak. And the trajectory presently is straight up. Go to the 24 month setting (that is what I copied, but it reset itself at a shorter duration).
@karininca if you’re looking at the last 24 months than it’s staring you in the face. It’s WAY down! I’ve posted the chart to chatgpt and it says that the 2024/2025 winter period has approximately 46.4% less total wastewater viral concentration than the 2023/2024 winter. I bet it’s even less but I’m not going to bother gathering the actual numbers. It’s VERY clear just by LOOKING at the chart.
Yes, I am looking at the 24 month chart. There was a big surge a year ago in January. This year there are TWO surges in Jan./Feb that add up in height to nearly as much as the single surge a year ago. And the current surge is vertical; it has just gotten started. It is true that the area under the line is not as bad as last year, but again, it has just begun. If it suddenly drops again that will be great, but the line is as sharply vertical as I have seen.
@karininca fact is that in Boston as in many places around the world there much less covid compared to previous winters. You asked me to check, you said it was spiking like cary, it IS NOT. I am right, you are wrong (as are all of you who continue to create fear around covid).
I think you may have covid brain. Covid damages the parts of the brain that perform risk assessment. I have a friend who has had covid a couple of times and he thinks it is fine for his infant grandson to be brought to the local pool and catch a severe case of norovirus, and for his daughter in law to catch RSV in the same trip and nearly be hospitalized despite her youth and prior good condition (since her immune system is shot from a recent bout of covid). He is a history buff but he doesn’t see that in the old days, which weren’t that long ago, people avoided infectious illnesses, and they especially kept their kids away from them. There is going to be a brutal selection process going forward.
@kareninca this is rediculous, I am acutely aware that there are people getting sick, that’s been happening since life started, but that’s an entirely different issue. As for the other comment, there’s high correlation of wastewater viral loads to the real number of cases
No, SA is right that there we can no longer know if there is a correlation. There was data supporting a correlation early on, but with the new variants we just can’t tell since covid cases are not being counted. The wastewater is better than nothing for figuring out caseload, but that is all.
@kareninca lol, trying so hard to fit the data in your narritive. That’s right up Geert’s alley! That scammer would love to have you on his forum. Over and out.
Geez, you are too stupid to read a chart. STFU with your fear mongering.
Are you saying that there is not currently a spike in the MA wastewater?
Also, do you think Rintrah is fear mongering?
Covid brain can also cause hostility. It’s better to try to reason, rather than attack.
@kareninca Maybe, but at least I can look at a chart and understand what it shows. Look, I don’t encourage anyone to go to crowded places when there are a lot of sick people. But less covid means less covid, and people like you seem to be unable to handle that. The fearmongering must go on!
@swizzlestick, @kareninca, @Harrold, scientifically speaking those charts are just some data points used to monitor viral prevalence in the population and not a direct measure how many people got sick. They are measuring viral particles in the wastewater. We do not know if different variants produce the same number of particles per person on average. Because of that we can’t say much. What is important how many people got COVID in 2023 vs 2024 or 2021 vs 2024. From my circle of family/friends/co-workers most got COVID in 2024 it was spread throughout the year though.
I’m not afraid. I haven’t caught covid, and I don’t especially want to catch covid. The people I know who have caught it are in worse shape as a result; I can see that. It isn’t fear-mongering to say they are in worse shape; it is just the truth. Calling this fear mongering is manipulative. I have a relative who caught covid in the late December wave that you find to be so small; it harmed her kidneys.
I think that people who have caught covid, mostly want other people to catch covid too. I’m not saying you feel this way (at least consciously), but I do think it is a thing.
Yes, SA, early on there were data that showed that wastewater levels matched infection rates pretty well, but who knows with subsequent variants. I go by wastewater, reddit posts (which of course could be manipulated, but they have matched my personal observations), and prayer requests in my church (which is worldwide). A surprising number of people that I know or know of through church caught it around Christmas; I’m not sure that the wastewater really showed that.
@kareninca, your understanding of the COVID matter is surprisingly very deep (of course I am making an assumption that you are not a MD/Scientist, Immunologist, Virologist, statistician etc.) So many things can change those charts – viral particles produced per person, duration of the disease, chronic vs acute COVID infections etc. We do not even know if there are people who are chronically ill and produce low level of viral particles for a long time and if yes then what % of population is falling in that category. We also do not know how they are normalizing the data and baseline. At best it can be used to monitor the trends in my opinion. The only way we can know for sure if they do a frequent variant-specific antibody check on a sizable population and correlate it with a variant-specific wastewater viral load. So that you can trace % of people who got sick with specific variant to the wastewater data real-time. Someone also mentioned a new weeks ago that they changed the way they are calculating the baseline. Don’t remember if it was TM or someone else.
SA, yes, early on when I started reading about wastewater data, I wondered how different variants might affect readings. The first thing that came to mind was that a particular variant might produce more particles in the gut, and so appear to be causing a lot of cases when it wasn’t really (but the case tracking at least helped with that). But all of the other things you describe would be factors, too. And a whole lot more. I just reached into my brain and pulled out the possibility that infection with a new variant might not itself show up in the wastewater (much? at all?), but it could cause people with existing reservoirs of the virus to release particles from those reservoirs. So people could have antibodies to variant X (since it formed reservoirs in their bodies), and variant X could be in the wastewater (since it was driven out by variant Y), but variant Y is causing the symptoms (if any). Just a random thought.
I don’t have any training in science. I have a BA in philosophy and an advanced degree in a field that prizes the pursuit of counterexamples. I do have trouble reading the antibody diagrams that Rintrah posts. In the case of the Boston charts, I figure that you can’t read such charts literally; you have to read them taking into account what they can truly say (as you describe). And a spike is a spike; that is informative.
Couple that protective superiority of the live vaccine, with the risk that live virus vax can revert, and it seems that vaccine hesitancy is justified. Overall advantage to live virus, but cautionary?
Rintrah – could you please do a post on what the 1918 influenza pandemic and whatever that sleeping sickness thing afterwards was called, was all about? What caused those issues and why did they both die out?
The 1918 pandemic had started back in 1910 in Machuria, the pathogen came from the cometary dust of comet Halley. The Chinese workers brought this pandemic to Europe (WWI). While toxic levels of doses of aspirin were given, and there was also a vaccination campaign at the time, nothing much happened until the eruption of the Katla volcano on October 12, 1918. It is at point in time when the M. influenzae pandemic really took off (H1N1 is a mycobacterium, not a virus), and in the course of a single day M. influenzae would become galloping M. tuberculosis. Sars is M. avium. The virulence of Delta was due to the activation of the beta prions in Sars. Omicron is Delta without the prions being activated. So, for a new real pandemic, a massive volcanic eruption has to happen.
Take your meds and fuck off.
Could you post a link to an explanatory source that provides a justification for the identity of H1N1 as a mycobacterium instead of a virus?
Sure. Dr. Lawrence Broxmeyer’s analysis of the 1918 pandemic:

Broxmeyer has even tested patients with Covid-19 in the spring of 2020, and has isolated M. avium.
As for the astrobiological sources of pathogens read the works of Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe.
On November 25th, 2019, Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe made the following stark warning, weeks before the coronavirus emerged.
On the basis of this data, there appears to be a prima facie case for expecting new viral strains to emerge over the coming months and so it would be prudent for Public Health Authorities the world over to be vigilant and prepared for any necessary action. We need hardly to be reminded that the spectre of the 1918 devastating influenza pandemic stares us in the face from across a century.

The Himalayas act as the first barrier for the jet streams, that is why pandemics usually start in that region of the world.
And here is a link to Dr. James Joseph King’s work, who identified the source of the 1918 pandemic to be the Chinese plague of 1910:

It’s happening that’s for sure. It’s really sped up over the winter there. I’ve lost count the amount of people saying they can’t shift colds and flu like they used to.
My Dad has severe Covid fibrosis in his lungs (never smoked or been a big drinker) and severe cognitive impairment that can’t be explained by detailed brain scans. Doctor said it could be possible Covid brain damage. Yet I still have to put up with illiterate idiots who think Covid has either vanished or is now just the common cold now thanks to the ingenious vaccines.
Look into a post-Covid protocol: https://imahealth.org/treatment-protocols/
I am very sorry about your father. Maybe serrapeptase would help with the lung fibrosis: (Effects of Systemic Enzyme Supplements on Symptoms and Quality of Life in Patients with Pulmonary Fibrosis—A Pilot Study from 2021). Rintrah has mentioned serrapeptase; I’ve used it.
And methylene blue may help with the dementia (Exploring Methylene Blue and Its Derivatives in Alzheimer’s Treatment: A Comprehensive Review of Randomized Control Trials from 2023). it is overall very safe, but it can interact with other meds, so you need to check.
My elderly mom’s kidney function took a whack after her first covid infection two years ago. When she caught it again over Christmas I dreaded her next readings, and sure enough she is now stage 3b. It is true that she has had four shots but the damage maps the infections. She can possible recoup from this, but the wastewater is spiking in Boston again (she isn’t in MA but visits people there). There’s no good way to keep her safe; she can’t even take claritin now that her kidney function sucks.
Thanks. Sorry to hear about your Mum.
Thanks for a great, well written, clear analysis. Why are we attracted to doom and gloom? We want to know reality so we can prepare as best we can. There may be nothing we can actually do, but sometimes it makes a difference. Part of it is Schadenfreude, we want to say, “I told you so” to others who did not take our advice. Most of us don’t actually do that when it occurs. It’s too sad. I know people who are vaccinated, they get repeated bad Covid infections, while my wife and I get none. It would be cruel to tell them why, what can they do about it? And they would not take it to heart. I might just mention, getting some Ivermectin would be good, inspite of what the authorities say. Are they the walking dead?
“You would have to really aggressively suppress this abnormal adaptive immune response you induced in the lungs in most of the human population, if you wish to stop this.”
How could this be done? Asking in general and for myself specifically. I had an infection first and was vaccinated after.
I’ve heard from people with pretty serious Covid related issues that plasma replacement and or stem cell replacement are the only ways to really reset your system.

I’ve written about this before a few times.
You want something that depletes the lung’s T cell and B cell population, while strengthening the innate immune response.
And the only thing I’ve seen so far that fits the bill, is vaporized cannabis. THC induces apoptosis in T cells and B cells.
Cannabis is successfully used in HIV patients, to reduce immunological abnormalities. You even see a reduction in the overall HIV viral reservoir in cannabis users, as opposed to non-users.
The terpenes found in cannabis are known to have anti-viral effects, especially pinene, which is necessary when you’re depleting the T cell and B cell population that are currently doing the job.
Cannabis also seems to accelerate the development of monocytes into macrophages in the lungs.
Cannabis use should also suppress inflammation, allowing the lungs to regenerate themselves better after an infection.
Unfortunately it hasn’t been properly studied yet, in an ideal world we would have some cannabis users and non-users and monitor them for a few years after they were vaccinated.
What I would expect to see is that you see the lung environment gradually populated with increasing numbers of T cells and B cells directed against SARS-COV-2, at the cost of other pathogens. On the other hand, I would expect the process to be dampened or absent among those who regularly vaporize cannabis.
But again, it hasn’t been properly studied.
Just vaccinate more.

Fauci?

Basically even a mild case causes mental heath problems that get worse with time, not sounding so good.
Yes, I think the theory of non-specific effects of live & non-live vaccine is sound. Old live vaccines did good jobs, but recent non-live vaccines do more harm than good.
Promoting all vaccines and rejecting all vaccines are both radical and away from the truth.
There might not be a depopulation conspiracy, bu excessive greed and deceitfulness of Big Pharma are causing great harm to people of the world.
TB in the Netherlands; a big outbreak:
https://x.com/outbreakupdates/status/1891193412344258617
I would have thought it would be not so hard to monitor for TB in a country of 18 million.
I wonder if this is one-off, or if there will be more.
