USA: elections in the midst of a dictatorship

by Eduardo Vasco, Strategic Culture: All major Western media outlets, controlled by Washington’s disinformation and propaganda apparatus, are providing extensive news coverage (or rather, “journalistic”) of the presidential elections in the United States. The country is portrayed as a bastion of democracy and free choice for citizens. However, this paradise is being threatened by one […]

Changing Views toward mRNA based Covid Vaccines in the Scientific Literature: 2020 – 2024

Before the global Covid-19 pandemic

mRNA based vaccines had never been administered to the public,

(outside of a single clinical trial that was not completed at the time.)

The aim of this article is to raise awareness that medical science can be biased due to social and economic influences,

especially during high stress epochs in history.

Scientists should be conscious of always being objective and sceptical regardless of what is happening in the wider world.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33332359/
Material and methods

A literature survey was performed examining the reporting of severe adverse events (SAEs) in articles published between 2020 and 2024.

4,130 articles

Results and discussion

From 2020 to 2024,

the literature has gone from claiming there are absolutely no SAEs from mRNA based vaccines (2020/2021),

to an acknowledgment of a significant number of various SAEs (2023/2024).

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38350768/

Conclusions

The early scientific literature was biased,

so as not to report SAEs,

due to social and political concerns,

and overwhelming corporate greed.

Only in the last year have scientists been able to publish articles that acknowledge a high number of SAEs linked to mRNA based vaccines.

This should act as a warning that science should be completely objective when evaluating health risks,

but can often be influenced by social and economic considerations.

More detail

International competition between the United States, Russia and China

All three countries claiming their vaccine was the most effective and the safest.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32663910/

For unknown reasons, the United States chose to invest heavily into mRNA based vaccines,

as opposed to other types of vaccines with stronger research supporting the underlying technology.

Due to competition between the world’s three super-powers, no country wanted to admit there were any problems with their nation’s vaccination program.

Unfortunately, these toxic politics entered into the scientific literature en force.

Three time periods, 2020 to April 2024

2020 to the end of 2021

Scientific literature claimed there were absolutely no serious adverse events (SAEs) whatsoever

January to August 2022

Scientific literature claimed there were some SAEs,

but they were very rare and that mRNA vaccines were a miracle drug

September 2022 to April 2024

Characterized as being highly sceptical of mRNA based vaccines.

E.g. COVID-19 vaccines and adverse events of special interest: A multinational Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) cohort study of 99 million vaccinated individuals

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38350768/

Significant OE ratios were found for Guillain–Barré syndrome, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, myocarditis and pericarditis.

Conclusions

A drastic shift in the medical literature occurred concerning mRNA based vaccines between 2020 and 2024.

The early literature seems to have been heavily biased in favour of promoting an experimental vaccine,

without any previously completed human clinical trials,

for both monetary and political purposes.

Even as reports of SAEs became too numerous to dismiss in 2022, the literature at the time simply down played SAEs as extremely rare.

Even though there were blatantly obvious conflicts of interest, such as vaccine producers publishing manuscripts promoting their own vaccine, articles were published in very prestigious journals.

It wasn’t until late 2022 that the first criticisms of mRNA vaccines began to appear and, as time goes by, more articles are becoming more vocal about completely banning all mRNA vaccines until they can be thoroughly tested for safety concerns.

The drastic shift in attitude towards mRNA vaccines in only about three years shows serious vulnerabilities in Western medical research.

Hong Kong Crashes As China’s Stimulus Frenzy Ends With A Bang

Hong Kong Crashes As China’s Stimulus Frenzy Ends With A Bang

There is some good news and some bad news for China bulls this morning (local time).

First the good news: since mainland China (aka A-shares) were closed for the past week, mainland Indexes such as the Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 are up – just barely – because after opening up almost 11% to catch up with the frenzied rally in offshore markets and ETFs, the index has erased almost all gains since it closed for trading on Sept 30.

For the real action, one has to go to neighboring Hong Kong, which was open while China was closed, and which proceeded to soar as much as 30% since the China stimulus bazooka was fired on Sept 23 (just two days after we said it would be). It’s also were the bad news is because one look at what the local Hang Seng China Enterprises Index is doing, and HK longs will want to throw up: as shown below, not only are HK stocks down as much as 11% after the open, but they have somehow managed to wipe out almost half the gains since the bazooka was launched in less than two hours!

What sparked this liquidation? Well, yesterday China unveiled yet another “emergency” stimulus meeting, this time held by the National Development and Reform Commission (i.e., China’s central planning bureau). Expectations were high that just like the emergency Sept 26 Politburo meeting which was led by president Xi himself, today China would unveil even more sweet, sweet stimmies.

Alas it was not meant to be, and the press conference led by Zheng Shanjie, chairman of China’s top economic planner, the National Development and Reform Commission was an epic dud: in it, Shanjie said that while external risks and downward economic pressures were increasing, they remained confident of achieving the full-year GDP growth target. He said new policy measures will focus on expanding domestic demand, increasing support and the property and capital markets.

In short, nothing new, and certainly nothing even remotely close to the Rmb 10 trillion in fiscal stimmies that many were expecting. As UBS writes, “the NDRC press conference has released no details on fiscal stimulus so far, with the Q&A session ongoing. Zheng Shanjie along with deputy heads Liu Sushe, Zhao Chenxin, Li Chunlin and Zheng Bei, were widely expected to announce an action plan at the press conference. As a result, USDCNH is coming up, while iron ore and copper are declining. Shenzhen’s ChiNext has narrowed gains to 13% from more than 18% earlier as China returned from the Golden Week holiday.

What is the take home message here? First, that Jim Cramer was – as usual – a fade.

The second, and far more important message, is that the half life of Beijing’s latest attempt to goose markets, at just around 10 days is the shortest of all…

… and it means that with the market having called Beijing’s bluff, Xi has two options:

  • Do another half-assed attempt to stimulate the economy with the very limited measures already unveiled, which he knows – and more importantly the market knows – will achieve nothing, and spark another market crash and economic meltdown, or
  • Do what Goldman trader Borislav Vladimirov laid out yesterday, when he said that China Must Do QE Now, “Or It Will End Up In A Bigger Hole In 12 Months.”

And since for Xi the time for half-measures is now over, especially if he wants to avoid a deflationary spiral, social insurrection and political mutiny, this only leaves one option open: the truly nuclear one. The only question is when, because while the market may have peaked at +30% the first time China tried to goose markets, the next time we are talking triple digits, not to mention $3K gold and $100K+ bitcoin.
