Oh give over Navid, every clown needs an audience - so just be grateful I haven’t blocked you yet. You clearly love having your cage rattled. I just find it ironic that those people who offer out the most “personal attacks” are also the loudest complainers when returned.
As for Lawrie vs. Hill, I don’t see why I should debate anyone. On the one hand you have a swivel-eyed fanatic who admits to abandoning the scientific method months ago, versus a guy who showed why the best evidence for ivermectin isn’t worth looking at, and for who the single counter-argument is that he dared to change his opinion. I agree with him - Seeing as how he’s both an actual expert in this field, and also not demonstrating obvious signs of deluded fervour. Or, like some others, trying to garner himself some youtube money.
Fair enough. I read your post: “In a recent development, things are not looking very good in England for the double/triple vaccinated”. And I had thought you were offering your opinion, based on this article, that the triple vaccinated have something to worry about. Maybe I was mistaken, I’m not a mindreader.
One thing interests me though… I can’t imagine the Daily Expose is on your list of regular reads. How do you come across an article like that? I assume social media rather than a google search?
As expected, twisted the video contents whence Hill admits "it will just be a few more weeks" and that outside influence is determining the conclusion of his study. Effectively admits to scientific fraud of the highest order.
We'd appreciate more skilled sleight of hand on this forum, right now it looks crippled to people with discernment. Try again to debunk the video, after you watch the video. -
First Open Letter on the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty
First Open Letter on the WHO's Pandemic TreatyThe World Council for Health opposes the World Health Organisation’s moves to implement a power grab in the form of a global pandemic treaty.worldcouncilforhealth.orgTO: People throughout the world. Governments, presidents, health ministers. Independent media
TO: WHO via World Health Assembly, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, Dr Soumya Swaminathan
TO: United Nations via Antonio Guterres, Liu Zhenmin, Elliott Harris, Maria-Francesca Spatolisano
The World Council for Health (WCH), a coalition of scientists, doctors, lawyers, and civil society advocacy organizations, opposes the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s moves to implement a power grab in the form of a global pandemic agreement, while the world’s attention is diverted by the latest crisis.
The proposed WHO agreement is unnecessary, and is a threat to sovereignty and inalienable rights. It increases the WHO’s suffocating power to declare unjustified pandemics, impose dehumanizing lockdowns, and enforce expensive, unsafe, and ineffective treatments against the will of the people.
The WCH believes that the people have a right to participate in any agreement that affects their lives, livelihoods, and well-being. However, the WHO has not engaged in a process of public participation, which is evidence that its priority is capturing more power for itself and its corporate accomplices, than serving the interests of the people. Without an unbiased democratic process, any agreement by the WHO, acting via the United Nations, will be unlawful, illegitimate, and invalid.

Extracellular vimentin is an attachment factor that facilitates SARS-CoV-2 entry into human endothelial cells
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2113874119
Significance
Human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the most widely known entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2. The possible involvement of other cellular components in viral entry mechanisms remains unknown. Vimentin is expressed in human endothelial cells, binds to SARS-CoV-2-spike, and expedites SARS-CoV-2 entry. Treatment of lung ACE2/A549 carcinoma cells with purified vimentin or coculture of ACE2/A549 cells with HEK-293 cells expressing vimentin increased ACE2-dependent viral entry. CR3022 antibody blocked vimentin interaction with SARS-CoV-2-spike and inhibited SARS-CoV-2 entry. Vimentin could facilitate SARS-CoV-2 infection and contribute to vascular complications associated with COVID-19.
Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells is a crucial step for virus tropism, transmission, and pathogenesis. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been identified as the primary entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2; however, the possible involvement of other cellular components in the viral entry has not yet been fully elucidated. Here we describe the identification of vimentin (VIM), an intermediate filament protein widely expressed in cells of mesenchymal origin, as an important attachment factor for SARS-CoV-2 on human endothelial cells. Using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry, we identified VIM as a protein that binds to the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein. We showed that the S-protein receptor binding domain (RBD) is sufficient for S-protein interaction with VIM. Further analysis revealed that extracellular VIM binds to SARS-CoV-2 S-protein and facilitates SARS-CoV-2 infection, as determined by entry assays performed with pseudotyped viruses expressing S and with infectious SARS-CoV-2. Coexpression of VIM with ACE2 increased SARS-CoV-2 entry in HEK-293 cells, and shRNA-mediated knockdown of VIM significantly reduced SARS-CoV-2 infection of human endothelial cells. Moreover, incubation of A549 cells expressing ACE2 with purified VIM increased pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2-S entry. CR3022 antibody, which recognizes a distinct epitope on SARS-CoV-2-S-RBD without interfering with the binding of the spike with ACE2, inhibited the binding of VIM with CoV-2 S-RBD, and neutralized viral entry in human endothelial cells, suggesting a key role for VIM in SARS-CoV-2 infection of endothelial cells. This work provides insight into the pathogenesis of COVID-19 linked to the vascular system, with implications for the development of therapeutics and vaccines.

How Much Does Serum 25(OH)D Improve by Vitamin D Supplement and Fortified Food in Children? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
How Much Does Serum 25(OH)D Improve by Vitamin D Supplement and Fortified Food in Children?Mass Vitamin D fortification, circulating 25(OH)D concentration response in children may have lower circulating 25(OH)D concentration-response than adults.www.physiciansweekly.comAbstract
Objectives:
This study was conducted to respond certain important questions regarding the efficacy of vitamin D fortification and supplementation in children using a meta-analytical approach.
Methods:
MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched, and 2341 studies were found in a preliminary search. After screening of titles and abstracts, 31 studies were selected.
Results:
Significant raises in circulating 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations were observed in both groups that took vitamin D supplement (mean difference [MD] 28.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 22.5–34.9) and vitamin D-fortified foods (MD 20.29, 95% CI 13.3–27.2). The meta-regression revealed a significant association between age of participants (B −1.4, 95% CI −2.8, −0.02, P = 0.047) and dose of vitamin D (B 0.007, 95% CI 0.003, 0.01, P < 0.001), with the effect on serum 25(OH)D concentrations. The analysis showed that serum 25(OH)D concentration increases by 0.7 nmol/L for every 100 IU of vitamin D intake after adjustment for age, baseline serum 25(OH)D and latitude which is far less than the reported amount in adults.
Conclusions:
Altogether, these findings indicate that in a mass vitamin D fortification program, circulating 25(OH)D concentration response in children may be lower in children than in adults and vitamin D supplementation may still be needed in this subpopulation

The original source of this Rossi text was not plagiarized. Perhaps the original source for this was US Navy research.

Table 14 shows the triply jabbed and infected have a lower covid mortality than the unjabbed infected by 1 to 3 times, depending on the age bracket.
This is wrong: This table shows that 70% of the "recovered + triple jabbed" + tripple jabbed have a lower mortality. But if we adjust the rate for just the 3x jabbed it becomes negative for all groups. Vaccine efficiency can only be measured for persons that never had the illness.
But this cheating is the basic tactic of the pharma mafia since day 1. They (Pfizer & Moderna, Astra/Oxford) also vaccinated the phase III control groups to obscure the facts about vaccine damage and negative performance of vaccines...
-
The vaccines are effective until they become ineffective.
That is true of all forms of immunity. For some diseases acquired or vaccine immunity lasts a long time. For others it lasts only a short time. Acquired immunity to influenza lasts only a season, and so does the vaccine immunity.
The recent data is starting to show they are not only losing their punch, but hurting more than helping.
Bullshit.

Solid, healthy individual in her mid forties. At least she was. She is now vaccine (Pfizer) injured with numerous blood clots.
Nope. She may have blood clots, but they were not caused by the vaccine. Billions of doses have been administered. If they caused blood clots, we would know by now. Quoting an actual Atlanta expert (and not one of your imaginary antivaxxer "experts"):
There is no evidence that the Pfizer vaccine causes blood clots.
"I am not aware of any causally related clotting problem with either" the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccines, which are known as mRNA vaccines, said Dr. Walter Orenstein, a professor in the infectious diseases division at Emory University’s School of Medicine and associate director of the Emory Vaccine Center. "I am also not aware of any information published in the medical literature about clotting problems with the mRNA vaccines."
The J&J vaccine did cause blood clots, in a tiny number of patients, mainly young people. The chances that you happen to know one of the few people affected that way are about the same as your knowing someone who won $100 million in the Mega Millions lottery.

If someone forms the belief that ivermectin is some kind of worthwhile treatment, the next step is to question why the medical establishment disagrees with this view,
OR, you can look at the data from tests that appeared to show ivermectin worked. You assume good faith on the part of the researchers, and ask why some tests worked but others did not. From that, a tentative conclusion is that ivermectin has a positive effect on the prognosis for people infected with worms. That is not 100% proven, but it is plausible. If true, it explains the facts; it shows that the good quality positive tests were not faked or badly done; and it shows there is no conspiracy against ivermectin. The stuff is not needed in countries with few parasites. The medical establishment in Europe or the U.S. probably looks at test data from the U.S. or Europe, as it should. The establishment concludes that ivermectin does not work in these places. That's reasonable. Reasonable, not God Given, absolutely Certain Truth. (There is no such thing.)
This approach defuses the arguments, accusations and emotions, and moves the discussion back to a scientific basis. It is shown in the Fortune graph by Bitterman:
Maybe that is not true, but it is a good starting point. Granted, it is still possible that ivermectin works even in Europe or the U.S., but doctors have to go with the best evidence available. First do no harm. Using a drug that does not work is often harmful, and it gives false hope. People who depend on ivermectin endanger themselves.

Government documents reveal CDC delayed disclosing likely COVID-19 animal spillover event
Emails shine a spotlight on a months-long delay in publicly disclosing suspected mink-to-human spread in the U.S.
This was reported in the mass media and elsewhere as soon as it happened. Perhaps a detailed report from the CDC took a long time, but there was no cover-up or delay in publicly disclosing the infection. The public was warned. Thousands of minks were culled (killed).

Thousands of minks were culled (killed).
They have been killed for nothing...But may be it still was better than a live in a concentration camp (tiny cage).

May be once we should look at a so claimed perfect vaccination/prevention country like South Korea....
South Korea COVID - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometerwww.worldometers.infoThe highest daily case peek was about 600'000. Compared to USA 7x would be 4.2 Million. The death rate is high At least higher as for all other counties during an Omicron wave but we know, that most deaths with Omicron are with not from.
So what did prevention/vaccination help? Nothing as in all other countries too. Vaccines just delay the death of obviously sick people. But with Omicron vaccines fuel hospital patients as RNA treated end up there at 2-3x higher rate now. (See Israel/UK data where it is worst for 3x boostered)
The worst we could figure out is now fact in Germany. 2x/3x (mandatory) vaxx hospital personal is now taken out of work and about 50% of all surgery has to be cancelled - all thanks to vaccination and stupidity that forces positive tested (without symptoms) to stay home...

if adding obsidian it may be best to start small.
Like a true nano mineraloid
Very few obsidian samples are almost colorless. In some stones, a blotchy or snowflake pattern (snowflake obsidian) is produced by the inclusion of small, white, radially clustered mineral cristobalite spherulites in the black glass. Obsidian may contain patterns of the remaining gas bubbles from the lava flow, aligned with layers created as the molten rock flowed before cooling. These bubbles can have interesting effects like a golden shine (sheen obsidian). The inclusion of magnetite nanoparticles creating thin-film interference causes an iridescent, rainbow-like sheen (fire obsidian). Mexico’s colorful, striped obsidian (rainbow obsidian) contains oriented hedenbergite nanorods that cause thin-film interference to the rainbow stripping effects.
- Obsidian is produced by rapidly cooling felsic lava extruded from a volcano with minimal growth in crystals. It is commonly found within the margins of rhyolitic lava flows known as obsidian flows
- Under high pressure at depth, rhyolitic lavas may contain up to 10 percent water, which helps to keep them fluid even at a low temperature. Eruption to the surface, where pressure is low, permits rapid escape of this volatile water and increases the viscosity of the melt. Increased viscosity impedes crystallization, and the lava solidifies as a glass
- Although newly formed obsidian has a low water content, typically less than 1% water by weight, it becomes progressively hydrated
- ...not a true mineral because, as a glass, it is not crystalline; in addition, its composition is too variable to be classified as a mineral. It is sometimes classified as a mineraloid
- rich in elements such as aluminium, sodium, and potassium
- Different obsidians are composed of a variety of crystalline materials. Their abundant, closely spaced crystallites (microscopic embryonic crystal growths) are so numerous that the glass is opaque except on thin edges. Many samples of obsidian contain spherical clusters of radially arranged, needlelike crystals called spherulites. Microlites (tiny polarizing crystals) of feldspar and phenocrysts (large, well-formed crystals) of quartz may also be present.
- Though obsidian is typically jet-black in colour, the presence of hematite (iron oxide) produces red and brown varieties, and the inclusion of tiny gas bubbles may create a golden sheen. Other types with dark bands or mottling in gray, green, or yellow are also known.

My tinkering in the day was using it to stretch my fiberglass resin using it as a dust mix.
adding the mix it to the fiberglass and ten cloth on waxed aluminum sheets for the aircraft skin thinking the glow in the dark pigment would stay bright longer. it was when I pulled the dry fiberglass from the aluminum door blank" -aluminum on each side of the wood core,like a capacitor the voltage released.
Talking about cracks in glass holding a charge was from this site, I had no idea why it was holding enough charge to jump from the aluminum sheet 3 feet away to the freight container wall.
thinking it was the pockets in the fiberglass or the crushed cracked obsidian charged likely from a chemical mix.
No idea. it was just interesting.

Wondering what interesting CMNS active
agents are in varieties of granite. Any nickel or lithium or whatnot? Turn these crystals into tiny nano embryonic pre crystal bits by turning it into obsidian in your backyard using a Fresnel lens and a bucket of ice water or a piece of white granite... Way cool.
Cold mill it in a hydrogen atmosphere perhaps... I have a bunch of Lapidolite from from the Harding Mine in New Mexico laying around somewhere. High lithium content.

Contact charge exchange between two metals is known to result from the transfer of electrons. But when at least one of the materials is an electrical insulator, there is no general understanding of what carries charges from one surface to the other. Different theories have proposed either electrons or ions. An electron is a subatomic particle carrying a negative electrical charge; an electrical current involves movement of electrons in a metal conductor. An ion, on the other hand, can carry either a positive or a negative electric charge; they are known as cations and anions, respectively. A cation has fewer electrons than protons, giving it a positive charge. An anion possesses more electrons than protons, so it has a net negative charge. Cations and anions can be atoms, molecules or polymer fragments. Evidence has been discovered for both electron and ion transfer under specific experimental conditions, but these data are limited and frequently contradictory. Recently, new research has demonstrated that charge exchange can also result from the physical transfer of tiny amounts of surface material from one substance to another. An understanding of how this occurs on a molecular level is now just beginning to emerge. It is becoming increasingly clear that more than one mechanism can occur simultaneously, and what happens may depend on the material compositions and conditions of the experiments in ways not yet known.
Not yet known? Hmmmm...
So much to study and learn.
