Tilastoharhoista ylikuolleisuuteen tietokannassa. 🧵
Käydään läpi #VAERS:in (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) dataa erittäin tiivistetysti.
Pohditaan miksi ihminen oli 21 päivää rokottamaton.
Tutkittu ja turvallinen.

Lähdemme tutkimaan miksi. VAERS on siis ainoastaan järjestelmä johon raportoidaan rokotteiden haittailmoituksia (ei siis mikään rokotehörhöjen perustama sivusto). Ensimmäinen taulu kuvaa rokotteista ilmoitettuja haittavaikutuksia 1990-2022:
Aloitetaan siitä miksi rokotuksen jälkeen ihminen on 21 päivää rokottamaton sairaalaraportoinnin kannalta. Voitaisiin lähes väittää protokollan muovautuneen alkupään tutkimusdatan seurauksena (phase 1). Seuraava taulu kuvaa raportoituja kuolemia päivinä rokotuksesta:

The wallpaper cost £840 a roll.
#NHS nurses will receive a pay increase worth less than half a roll of Downing St wallpaper this year – despite their heroics in guiding the country through a deadly pandemic resulting in 150,000 largely avoidable deaths.

#GBeebies investors may be more interested in #INFLUENCE than financial return: £60 MILLION was raised with help from Libertarian billionaires #Cato's John Malone & #Legatum's Christopher Chandler, & hedge funder Paul Marshall who bet big on #Brexit chaos.
I'd never heard of Boris Johnson's senior advisor & one of Carrie Symond's "favourite people" 'chatty rat' Henry Newman, but I've been looking at Andrew Neil's connections to the Orbán regime, &, well, 'it's a small world'...

In 2018, Andrew Neil chaired the #Project28 opinion poll based research event for Viktor Orban's 'Think Tank' the Századvég Foundation - basically the propaganda wing of Fidesz party, set up to spread xenophobia, islamophobia & antisemitism across the EU.

Andrew Neil Chaired the event, but let's take a look at the other speakers.
First up, keynote speaker & Fidesz party MEP József Szájer, who discussed the #Project28 'findings', basically that the EU population had lost their confidence in their ability to influence leaders.

2/- #Tedros from @WHO presented a false #Covid19 and #Flu mortality comparison on 3 March 2020 by conflating Case Fatality Rate CFR of Covid mortality with Infection Fatality Rate IFR of Flu mortality which created worldwide fear and panic. This was deliberate.
3/- #JohnIoannidis @StanfordMed debunked and refuted #Tedros statement saying CFR 3.4% figure causes horror and was meaningless.
He proved this clinically and @WHO had to publish his paper in Oct 2020.
His results #Covid19 IRF 0.23% and 0.05% for those below 70.

We are back for #CrusadingInColor looking at @CWBatwoman. @SilasLapham @JMarieBrowning @shengokai @plcphd @Cruz_CritCom @CACovi715 @MSUEnglish @CALMSU
@CWBatwoman @SilasLapham @JMarieBrowning @shengokai @plcphd @Cruz_CritCom @CACovi715 @MSUEnglish @CALMSU The choice of #BlackMask as villain in this show is interesting to me. The False Face Society might be seen a metaphor for queerness. This not the case, but is it worth considering? @SilasLapham @shengokai @plcphd @Cruz_CritCom ?
@CWBatwoman @SilasLapham @JMarieBrowning @shengokai @plcphd @Cruz_CritCom @CACovi715 @MSUEnglish @CALMSU This really interesting. In an era of careful consideration of #defunding the police, the ideology community championed by a black superhero is intriguing.

Comprehensive analysis of 50 states shows greater spread with #mask mandates
- Masks are “sterilized” with Ethylene Oxide - a known carcinogen'
- The IARC classifies ethylene oxide into group 1, meaning it is a proven carcinogen.

1. Florida with no statewide mask mandate after the state said counties could no longer enforce mask mandates.
2. California’s had mask mandates for 6-8 months and it hasn’t mattered. - The people 'getting together thing' is disproven nonsense.

We can see the same things with #COVID19.
@AlexBerenson backs up everything he says with facts and science. He repeatedly catches establishment figures in their lies.
Berenson is marginalized, labeled a conspiracy theorist, etc. Meanwhile killer @NYGovCuomo is lauded. /2

Four US presidents lied to get us into the #Vietnam War and to keep us there.
Their cabinets and generals lied to us. It was #bipartisan. They killed millions.
They were never held accountable for their Vietnam lies.
The lies never stopped. /3

For a few months now I have been uploading my #Protopia inspirations & thoughts to IG but will start sharing things also here @protopiafutures — please follow & RT if you want to see Sci Fi that expands beyond the outdated #Dystopia/#Utopia binary

instagram.com/protopiafuture…
It’s just the very beginning of sharing some of the future thoughts & imaginations I have been researching for years but I can only hope that these explorations will find an audience & could help shift the mainstream Sci Fi imagery discourse at least a notch. @protopiafutures 2/
As I’ve said years ago with my criticism re the direction Hollywood version of GITS took: we cannot continue being limited by the same Sci Fi tropes that always centers straight cishet able-bodies white western male imagination. That bucket is exhausted. Next! @protopiafutures 3/

Whole lot of hot takes out there around #COVID19, foresight, and the #BlackSwan concept | Dear readers, I present to you...the hottest of hot takes: #coronavirus both "is and is not" a black swan, & this is the most reasonable, rigorous, & responsible view
But first, yes...foresight actually works! And not because it can help you "predict" the future, but precisely because it can help you understand complex phenomena and, at best, spot "emerging issues." See: &
And, the folks at @CSIS struck gold: csis.org/analysis/we-pr… Unfortunate use of the word "predict," which literally means "say before" & should be banished from the vocabulary of all futurists. Great stuff from @BryanAlexander here: bryanalexander.org/futures/antici…

Since people have been asking I thought I'd recap my #dystopia talk at @theuxcrunch from Thursday. The examples used are not what if scenarios. These all happened. #triggerwarning's apply. If you can make it thru to the end I have suggestions for how we can claw back some hope.
This is a quote you’ve all probably seen a million times. #Advertising & #techie shitheads love quoting it before they do trends porn. What they never seem to understand is how politically subversive the last bit is. B/c those wankers abuse it I swore I’d never use it.
Still, paraphrasing it is useful for my point. One person’s future is another person’s dystopia and thanks to the fundamental power of the Internet as a tool for distribution we can spread dystopia far and wide. Often before we know it, realise it, or even imagine it.
