This has been the Pandemic’s Wrongest Man: an occasional series.

So lucky I don’t have to have dinner with any of these people ever again.

ALT: Just wait until they hear about the all-cause mortality vaccine data. (They will never hear about the all-cause mortality data.) Open / Comment

2022-02-27 21:38:03 Or that nuclear brinksmanship is a joke?

Again, I’m no Kremlinologist. But I’m guessing the average Russian oligarch or FSB general would rather not die in a nuclear war over Ukraine. Ukraine! Way more fun to hang out with Ms. Chelyabinsk 2021.

And history suggests strongman regimes collapse very suddenly - especially when the collapse comes from the elites rather a popular uprising. One minute you’re giving orders, the next you’re on a one-way hall pass to Lubyanka, conveniently connected via underground tunnel to the Kremlin.

Too bad, comrade.

We will see. Open / Comment

At what point do you wake up?

Are you going to pretend that Finland and Sweden are part of the Rus too? Open / Comment

2022-02-26 03:31:33 Hey, remember how they told you the mRNA in the vaccines could NEVER wind up in human DNA?

A new study out of Sweden suggests otherwise (at least in lab-grown cells).

Don’t worry, everything is fine.

After all, we have all that long-term placebo-controlled clinical trial data proving the safety of these mRNA shots.*

All that careful preclinical work too.**

*No we don’t.

2022-02-26 02:41:41 And it’s not like we can give them back to Pfizer. You think the world’s favorite veterinarian is giving refunds?

Instead, expect desperate efforts to get African countries to take them. Though that’s not going so great either.

But at least if Nigeria dumps the shots, the CDC doesn’t have to. It’s not our fault they squandered our charity, you savvy?

Your tax dollars at work once again. Open / Comment

2022-02-26 02:41:23 Meanwhile, over 100 million jabs are sitting in freezers, slowly approaching their expiration dates. And even more are coming.

The United States has ordered and paid for 1 billion mRNA shots, split evenly between Pfizer and Moderna, at a cost of almost $20 billion. About 533 million have been given out, which leaves 467 million to go

Current vaccine uptake, including boosters, is about 10 million shots a month (and dropping). The vaccines have a nine-month storage life even frozen.

You do the math. Unless something changes, American taxpayers will spend several billion dollars on hundreds of millions of vaccine shots that are headed for the great mRNA factory in the sky. Open / Comment

2022-02-26 02:41:07 Meanwhile, fewer than 75,000 unvaccinated people a day are rolling up their sleeves for the first time.

That number is also headed for zero, as companies like Google drop vaccine mandates and countries open their borders. No one who is not vaccinated now will do so voluntarily, and very soon none of those people will have any reason to submit.

The collapse in vaccine demand has gone basically unreported in the elite media.

No wonder.

It makes the public health posturing about how to handle Covid’s next phase even more insipid. While epidemiologists debate triggers for future interventions and the advantages of Omicron- versus original boosters, Americans are showing in the most profound way that the mRNA jabs are medicine’s version of New Coke. I got ya mandate right here.

All the hype in the world can’t save a lousy product. Open / Comment

2022-02-26 02:40:53 Whistling past the mRNA vaccine graveyard


Nancy Reagan would be proud.

Americans are just saying no to mRNA shots.

The unvaccinated are staying that way, and demand for boosters continues to crater.

Barely 1 million third shots were given last week, and even that figure overstates real demand. Failed and now dropped booster mandates on health-care workers drove it. Open / Comment

2022-02-25 17:48:24 It is impossible to be too cynical

How much does Europe REALLY care about the invasion of Ukraine?

This much: Italy and Belgium don’t want the sanctions on Russia to include luxury goods - like Prada or diamonds (the Belgians sell a lot of diamonds).

Because, you know, denying Putin’s mistress this year’s Gucci pumps would be a human rights violation or something.

Can’t make it up. Open / Comment
