					<description><![CDATA[Can we say &quot;collusion&quot; now?

https://technofog.substack.com/p/cdc-emails-our-definition-of-vaccine
&lt;blockquote&gt;The CDC caused an uproar in early September 2021, after it changed its definitions of “vaccination” and “vaccine.” For years, the CDC had set definitions for vaccination/vaccine that discussed immunity. This all changed on September 1, 2021.
...
People noticed. Representative Thomas Massie was among the first to discuss the change, noting the definition went from “immunity” to “protection”.
...
Of course, the usual suspects defended the CDC. The Washington Post, for example, cast doubt that the CDC changed the definition because of issues with the COVID-19 vaccines. The CDC tried to downplay the change, stating “slight changes in wording over time … haven’t impacted the overall definition.”

Internal CDC E-Mails

CDC emails we obtained via the Freedom of Information Act reveal CDC worries with how the performance of the COVID-19 vaccines didn’t match the CDC’s own definition of “vaccine”/“vaccination”. The CDC’s Ministry of Truth went hard at work in the face of legitimate public questions on this issue.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Emails detail the reason.

&lt;blockquote&gt;After taking some suggestions, the CDC’s Lead Health Communication Specialist went up the food chain to propose changes to the definitions: “I need to update this page Immunization Basics &#124; CDC since these definitions are outdated and being used by some to say COVID-19 vaccines are not vaccines per CDC’s own definition.”
...
There you have it. Affirmative action for the multinational corporations. Why have them improve their vaccines when you can just change the definition of vaccine to fit their ineffective vaccines?  

Congrats to all the skeptics out there – you raised enough hell that the the CDC went and tried to change reality.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I picked this up from a comment at a Legal Insurrection post today.
Does anyone have another take on it?
Kind if .... interesting, although they don&#039;t say which states got the good and which got the bad. 

https://theexpose.uk/2021/10/31/100-percent-of-covid-19-vaccine-deaths-caused-by-just-5-percent-of-the-batches-produced/
&lt;blockquote&gt;An investigation of data found in the USA’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has revealed that extremely high numbers of adverse reactions and deaths have been reported against specific lot numbers of the Covid-19 vaccines several times, meaning deadly batches of the experimental injections have now been identified.

But what’s perhaps more concerning is that the “deadly” lots were distributed widely across the United States whilst other “benign” lots were sent to just a few locations.
...
But the investigation of VAERS data also revealed that reported deaths due to the Pfizer vaccine were again only associated with certain batches of the jab. The chart above shows that 96% of the lots of Pfizer vaccine had zero death reports made against them. Meaning the 2,828 reported deaths were associated with just 4% of the lots of Pfizer vaccine.

Five lot numbers were associated with 61-80 deaths each, a further 5 lot numbers were associated with 81-100 deaths each, and just 2 separate lot numbers were associated with over 100 deaths each.
...
As you can see from the above table 4,289 different lots of Pfizer vaccine were distributed to 12 states or less across the USA, recording 9,141 adverse event reports against them alongside 99 deaths and 657 hospitalisations. This equates to an average of 2 adverse event reports per lot and 0 deaths and hospitalisations.

However, a further 130 different lots of Pfizer vaccine were distributed to between 13-50 states across the USA, recording 166,170 adverse event reports, 2,799 deaths, and 14,155 hospitalisations. This equates to an average of 1,278 adverse event reports per lot number, alongside 22 deaths and 109 hospitalisations.

This data therefore shows that each lot from the 130 different lot numbers of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine distributed to more than 13 states, harmed on average 639 times more people, hospitalised on average 109 times more people, and killed on average 22 times more people.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Similarly for Moderna, although perhaps not the same spread by state.
Lots of graphs, data from  VAERS, and a comparison to mortality per lot for the standard flu vaccines in the past.]]></description>

The optimum was probably USA ca. 1960. Which would require a lot of classes of people to get back in their figurative boxes and STFU. Otherwise Britain ~1820-~1880. I chop them off arbitrarily at 1880 because German metallurgy and chemistry and instrument making far surpassed them in the next two decades — during which time other trends were beginning to manifest in Britain: cf Kipling’s Gehazi —&#062; London still a financial powerhouse today, but all industry and social capital well and truly stripmined.

Ed Dutton says that Genius requires a mix of high IQ and psychopathy. The true genius has to be quite goal-oriented and abrasive because geniuses upset the current paradigms and get a lot of pushback. Shrinking violets who are smart just won’t push the envelope so far. Dutton claims that there’s less prevalence of  psychopathy in East Asians, which (along with Cultural arguments) is a potential limiter for genius production. Furthermore East Asian bell curve is narrower but mean is to the right of White Americans. So fewer retards and dummies, more generally capable folk with good executive planning function, but proportionately not as many out in that extreme right tail &#062; 150.

There’s always a sweet spot and an equilibrium (if only temporary). Right now there is a kind of unstable equilibrium. A few Whiteys have the super genius ideas and the East Asians manufacture them and often copy them. The rest of the Whiteys get to have Drag Queen Story Hour and BLM.]]></description>
