News Round-Up
- “Young women had 3.5 times higher risk of death from heart issues after AstraZeneca jab” – The ONS found a dramatically greater risk for 12-29 year-olds in the first three months after a single dose of AstraZeneca Covid vaccine compared to a later period, the Telegraph reports. Yet not after the mRNA vaccines and little in other demographics – contrary to other studies. Sounds dubious to me, but then it is a self-controlled study. Also in the Mail.
- “IgG4 Antibodies Induced by mRNA Vaccines Generate Immune Tolerance to SARS-CoV-2’s Spike Protein by Suppressing the Immune System” – A new preprint summaries evidence which “suggests that the reported increase in the IgG4 [antibody] levels detected after repeated vaccination with the mRNA vaccines is not a protective mechanism; rather, it may be a part of the immune tolerance mechanism to the spike protein that could promote unopposed SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication by suppressing natural antiviral responses” . It may also “cause autoimmune diseases and promote cancer growth and autoimmune myocarditis in susceptible individuals”.
- “The Lockdown Lunacy in Retrospect” – How and why most of the world succumbed to the lockdown lunacy – a new overview from the Swiss Doctor.
- “Rainmaking and Mask Mandates, or: The dumb chain of coincidences that brought community masking tyranny to the West” – Pandemic policies were deeply, profoundly stupid, in a way that we have hardly come to terms with even now, says Eugyppius.
- “Why didn’t America’s Covid hypocrites pay a price?” – Partygate all sounds a bit silly, but then at least the U.K. takes its Covid hypocrites seriously – in America, not so much, writes Matt Purple for Spectator World.
- “Jabbed pilots’ roll call of death and injuries” – Sally Beck in TCW on the worrying rate of serious adverse reactions to Covid jabs among pilots.
- “EU’s energy summit ends in division over Net Zero” – The EU may aspire to become a geopolitical superpower, but arguments over energy at a leaders’ summit this weekend suggested it has enough difficulties keeping its internal affairs in order, says William Nattrass in UnHerd.
- “Council chiefs ‘covered up’ data that could put climate zones ‘into jeopardy’” – Oxford council chiefs “covered up” data that risked “jeopardising” its controversial climate zones, which will ban residents from travelling directly between suburbs, the Telegraph reports.
- “Berliners vote down referendum on tighter climate goals” – Reuters reports that a referendum in Berlin on Sunday that would have bound the city to strive to be climate neutral by 2030 has failed, the city’s mayor Franziska Giffey said in a statement.
- “Putin and Xi’s plot to control the internet will leave the West in the dust” – Britain’s creaking framework risks being left behind by the leaders’ technology pact, says Andrew Orlowski in the Telegraph.
- “Victory for ‘continuity candidate’ Humza Yousaf in SNP battle” – Humza Yousaf, seen as the ‘continuity’ candidate, emerged victorious and is now set to take over from Nicola Sturgeon as First Minister tomorrow, the Mail reports. He has indicated he wants to persist with Sturgeon’s disastrous transgender self-ID policy, despite its key role in her downfall.
- “Six of the worst Humza Yousaf scandals” – It can be a difficult task picking out the most incompetent minister in the Scottish Government, but the new First Minister is definitely in the running, says Steerpike in the Speccie.
- “Killing my own dinner taught me about my relationship with animals and humans” – Fascinating story from Laura Dodsworth about coming to terms with where meat comes from – but when it was published in the Sunday Times she wasn’t prepared for the aggression she received from the militant vegans.
- “Dan Snow is the ultimate midwit historian” – To the Midwit historian, like Snow, there simply is no greater thrill than slaying the most sacred cow you can find, writes Samuel Rubinstein in the Spectator.
- “More than 60% of Scotland’s trans prisoners began transitioning after being convicted” – Data obtained under Freedom of Information Act show 12 of 19 in custody identified as the opposite sex “after their date of admission”, the Telegraph reports. Almost as though they’d prefer to be in a women’s prison…
- “Trans activism is sexist and delusional” – By denying science, the medical profession is committing some of the worst moral crimes in modern times, and it must end, says Jordan Peterson in the Telegraph.
- “‘I’m not biased.’ Google’s chatbot denies any political leaning, but promotes trans drugs, Joe Biden and veganism, and bashes Fox News, gun rights and the January 6th rioters” – Google’s new chatbot insists it does not have a liberal bias, but the Daily Mail‘s 10 tests of Bard reveal its implicit political support for Joe Biden, transgender ideology and universal healthcare access.
- “How I survived the trans mob” – Listen to Kellie-Jay Keen aka Posie Parker talk to Spiked‘s Brendan O’Neill about her violent encounter with gender extremists.
- “Toby Young of the Free Speech Union explains how a freedom of information request shows police forces across the country are giving ‘little or no time’ for training officers about legal protections for free speech” – Watch Toby on GB News speaking with Andrew Doyle.

“The ONS found a dramatically greater risk for 12-29 year-olds in the first three months after a single dose of AstraZeneca Covid vaccine compared to a later period, […] Yet not after the mRNA vaccines and little in other demographics – contrary to other studies. Sounds dubious to me […]” This doesn’t sound wholly dubious. Though it should be expected to be found for the mRNA based vaccines too as other studies have found. The age bias is evident because there is simply an age bias and that has been shown by multiple studies. The bias to greater harm after a the first jab only is due to the fact these studies are examined on a statistical level without tracking if individuals are choosing not to continue receiving jabs. The fist jab is received, there are a subset who are prone to reaction and higher rates of harm in that subset. That subset, having experienced a reaction then choose not to have any further jabs. So statistically there is a drop in adverse reaction rates after the first jab. This affect has also been confirmed by analysis of actuary data. I should point out the reason for the drop is conjecture,… Read more »
..I spotted this story last night in The Telegraph…I put on a few choice comments, as did many others…and just like the quacksine article a few days ago in the same paper…comments started getting deleted and now they have disappeared altogether….again.
It would appear that the Telegraph is not going to be able to publish any future quacksine stories and allow comments…LOL!
My comments on Telegraph articles usually disappear when I click ‘send’ – they don’t even reach the page because there is a partial block applied to me. It’s slightly sinister. Anything that fails the ‘bland’ ‘brain dead’ test just doesn’t make it through – ie cutting, intelligent comment is not wanted. Sometimes I can’t even post ‘Good article’, however.
Occasionally I manage to comment on cookery or something. It causes me to loathe the Daily Telegraph, sadly.
I vaguely remember Spiegelhalter on this very early in the plandemic when the alarming stats on the Astra Zeneca clotshot became apparent: I recall being furious at his comment that the fact it seemed to be affecting women more than men should be considered ‘acceptable collateral damage’. There is a section in one of Fenton & Neil’s substack articles (appended to the one published here) which touches on it.

in other words the worst fears Bret Weinstein laid out in his Dark Horse podcast on discovering this raised IgG4 issue, are coming to be realised.
Odd that the Dr’s and scientists who are most intensively curious and have deep lifelong expertise and who are acclaimed in their fields, but who all became conspiracy theorists once the pandemic started, have so consistently expressed theories and fears that studies have shown have subsequently come to be realised. It’s almost as though the public’s loss of confidence in experts is because there is a mechanism that has been consistently selecting the wrong experts. I’m sure it’s nothing to do with those ‘wrong experts” happening to agree with what makes big Pharma the most money.
“I’m sure it’s nothing to do with those ‘wrong experts” happening to agree with what makes big Pharma the most money.”
Not at all, they are following the $cience or £cience…
Have you notice that the phrase, “although the vaccines prevented hospitalisation and deaths” appear in abstracts just as devout Muslims have to say “peace be upon him” when mentioning their prophet. I am guessing that without that magic phrase, you don’t get published.
Careful, you’ll be cursed with a Pfatwa.
😀 😀 😀
Further to the study above on the negative effect the jabs have on the immune system, here is an example of the lab results one can expect to see;
”When people ask what the labs look like in an immune depleted vaccinated person, the above is what we are talking about. CD3, CD4, CD8 are your T-cells. When we measure T-cells, we either do an individualized CD count like this one, or we do a generic lymphocyte percentage draw. T-cells are the killer cells in your immune system. The powerhouse that keeps you safe from the viruses and bacteria that invade your body. When you are depleted of these important immune components, you are wide open to opportunistic infections. Infections that normally clear on their own can land you in the hospital. When people talk about VAIDS, or vaccine induced deficiency syndrome, this lab panel is what we would see. I shared the link to this providers twitter post, read through the comments.”

‘Nashville Chief of Police John Drake…identified the suspect as a woman and referred to the assailant by female pronouns but in response to reporters’ questions, he said: “She does identify as transgender.” Whether the suspect identified a man or woman was not made clear.’
Whatever ‘it’ identified as, planning to and ultimately killing children is totally abhorrent and evil.
And, it has to be said, is far more often an aberration of male psychology than of female.
I think what somebody identifies as is neither here nor there, especially after what they did and now they’ve quite rightly been killed themselves. ”It” seems entirely more applicable to a piece of scum that can do this anyway. And I’m sure more details will be forthcoming as the days go by, such as the predictable fact they’ll have been on some psych meds, I’m pretty confident anyway.
I agree that a killer is a killer, regardless of which gender they are (or identify as), but it would be incredibly noteworthy if the killer in a school shooting were a biological woman. I am not aware of an precedent.
Yes that’s definitely a rarity, I agree. To be honest I’ve never known the reason for most killers, especially serial killers and mass shooters, to be male. Equal but not the same eh? 😉
Agreed. The reality is that there are differences (beyond physical ones) between males and females, but we are no longer allowed to say that. Evolutionary biology may have something to say about differences between the biological sexes in terms of “willingness to kill”.
This was USA today Twitter…

Police on Monday afternoon said that the shooter was a transgender man. Officials had initially misidentified the gender of the shooter.
You will be pleased to know the comments underneath are as scathing as you would wish…..
‘Humza Yousaf, seen as the ‘continuity’ candidate, emerged victorious and is now set to take over from Nicola Sturgeon as First Minister tomorrow, the Mail reports.’
Another second-rate First minister…
Failed upwards in every post he has previously held. I wish him all the success he deserves.
‘I wish him all the success he deserves’…..Nicely put.
Oh I say ellie, that’s a very, very generous assessment of the fake Scot.
More on immunity from this Dutch author, sharing data from the Netherlands ( I ignored the nod to veganism at the end! );
”The virus has completely escaped the vaccine induced neutralizing antibody response and now it’s evolving towards overcoming the other branches of immunity humans deploy, as those are now its main opponents.
Without the social distancing and the vaccination experiment we would have had a wave of disease followed by herd immunity. This was possible because genetic diversity of the virus was very low. In addition the virus was not optimized for human infection, it would have to compete for hosts with viruses that are much better at infecting us, as they have been infecting us for generations.
The vaccines gave rise to new variants, apparently as soon as the vaccination trials began. Eventually the vaccines developed negative efficacy against infection in late 2021, followed by provoking a tolerogenic IgG4 antibody response, with some people even showing signs of T cell exhaustion following repeated boosting.
We now live in a brave new world where people constantly get reinfected by this virus.”

Screwing about with nature in a laboratory never ends well and which is why I fear the recent law just passed in the UK allowing for GMO food.
Coincidences? God give me strength. Not stupid, evil. It was a POLITICAL decision that came from the WHO.
If the suspected outcome of the bio mechanism outlined in the Abstract in https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202303.0441/v1 is true, the manufacturers and their supporters will behave like ferrets in a sack. If it turns out to be a product that was developed in an attempt to mitigate an infection caused by something, but also assists that something into the future, it could be one of the worst drugs that was ever made. I suppose an ultra cynical observer might say that it consolidates demand for some of their products in a back door way.
“Victory for ‘continuity candidate’ Humza Yousaf in SNP battle”
That means that there are now 4 leaders in the British Isles that are of foreign,Muslim origins! Mainly, if not souly, Indian decent.
Scotland, ireland, England and the foreign secretory.
Imagine if there were 4 white Christian leaders of Bangladesh or India! there would be international uproar at the misrepresentation of it all!
Poor old Scotland, land of my ancestors. How did this happen? Humza Yousaf will destroy that country with his nonsense policies.
“Jabbed pilots’ roll call of death and injuries”
Just an idea…I would love to know what the batches were of the mRNA treatments given to pilots. Also, whether they got them like the public, at their local NHS jabbing station or whether it was a company thing, done at the airline offices. Furthermore, there needs to be a study about the effects of flying once jabbed, an investigation. Too many pilots are dying around the world and, since one of the ‘climate emergency’ aims is to drastically reduce air travel, this just ties into it too neatly not to warrant far more scrutiny. In fact, I doubt there is any scrutiny at all. Airline CEOs have probably already been briefed that their businesses are due to fly south so to speak. More attention must be paid to airline travel before the cold hard squeeze of limited travel availability becomes the norm. Not for the likes of Gates and Soros of course. They’ll still be snapping up the canapés above the earth while we’re rediscovering the ox and the wheel on the earth…if they have their way. Which they won’t!

Brendan O’Neill was a firm supporter of vaccine mandates for Health Care workers. On the strength of the article he wrote pushing this I cancelled my subscription to Spiked. I have absolutely no time for O’Neill, he is a quite repulsive individual.

The U.S. government received hundreds of millions of dollars from vaccine manufacturer Moderna, according to a newly disclosed contract.
Moderna stated that it provided a “catch-up payment” of $400 million to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is part of the NIH, under the agreement.
The 34-page contract, which The Epoch Times obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, has key sections regarding future royalties redacted.
