From the doggedly persistent onetime NYT reporter Alex Berenson putting it to the WaPo writer who blithely, blithely dismisses as “misinformation” his hard-news reporting on the trouble with vaxxing as publicly reported by three countries, not the U.S.

Here’s what (the Twitter-banned) Berenson said about it:

Vaccine failure in two charts and two graphs from four countries

I could make the long case about original antigenic sin, falling antibodies, the issues around cellular immunity, myocarditis, and all the rest.

But I’m just going to offer these four images because they speak more clearly than anything I could say.

Scotland, Britain, Israel, and Denmark are four of the world’s most highly vaccinated countries. They all have 90 percent adult Covid vaccination rates and 60 percent adult boosters. Yet the vast majority of deaths are occurring in vaccinated people; serious cases are soaring; and…

In Blighty, where things are looking up.

Winter deaths are usually running high at this point in January, but this year is different.

According to the latest figures from the ONS, released today, in the week ending January 14th there were 6.1% fewer deaths than the five-year average in England and Wales (872 fewer deaths).

Note that the five-year average the ONS uses doesn’t include 2020 or 2021, only the historically low-mortality years 2015-19, so this is an extremely low figure indeed.

The recession (of our emergency) cometh?

Together on Zoom. in “White Accountability Groups,” which . . .

. . . are for people who identify as white and/or have white skin privilege to explore how to recognize whiteness and white privilege, identify and interrupt our internalized dominance, and collectively develop strategies for liberation and change,” the duo wrote on their intake form for those seeking to participate in the . . . groups,

which

are scheduled to meet over Zoom every other week on Monday beginning Jan. 31 from 4 to 5:15 p.m.

No end date is mentioned. The duo are Dominican University’s ministry coordinator and Title V Project director. Title V is for advancing equity among programs serving mothers’ and children’s health.

Villagers are urged to participate in the Zoom meetings by the village president.

The nation is not in the best of hands.

Yesterday President Biden held a rare press conference to observe the first anniversary of his tenure in office. I assess Biden’s press conference yesterday the worst ever — the worst presidential press conference, that is.

He went on for nearly two hours. The longer it went, the worse he got.

Short and (bitter) sweet

In accordance with the policy of His Eminence Cardinal Blase Cupich and the implementation of the motu proprio of His Holiness Pope Francis Traditionis Custodes within the Archdiocese of Chicago, there will be changes to the schedule of Masses at St John Cantius Church.

The first-Sunday rule:

Beginning on January 25, 2022, on the first Sunday of each month, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be celebrated in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Missal, both in Latin and English.

The Archdiocese also prescribes for us liturgical unity of prayer for Holy Mother Church’s major feasts of Christmas, Pentecost and Easter, including the Triduum.

The canons — priests, brothers, seminarians — will work harder than ever “to restore the sacred.”

The Canons Regular of St John Cantius are committed to serving the faithful within the Archdiocese of…

Read it here, but not here, the pastor’s parish web site, where it’s gone missing. Tsk, tsk.

A shame, because it’s rather good, a cry from the heart, cast as a letter to his vicariate bishop and dutiful in tone. Direct too, opening:

Thank you for consulting the Archbishop [Cardinal Cupich] regarding my request for permission to offer the Holy Sacrifice, “Ad Orientem.” [Facing east, or in same direction as the people, a key feature of the Traditional Latin Mass.] I will comply with his directive that this is forbidden in his Archdiocese.

Even so, the Archbishop does not provide evidence that “Ad Orientem” was abrogated at the Second Vatican Council. As I read Sacrosanctum Concilium [the council’s document on the liturgy] and the Roman Missal the implication is “Ad Orientem” was not abolished or prohibited – on the contrary.

He also makes respectful but direct…

What a picture.

“Unlikely” to be helpful.

Now the World Health Organization has waved the white flag on Covid vaccine boosters too.

WHO released a statement about Covid vaccines yesterday. It’s filled with the usual public health jargon and ass-covering, but one line stands out:

a vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable.

It’s over, people.

From his book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health (Children’s Health Defense), p. 57, Kindle Edition [emphasis added]:

During a pandemic, reliable and comprehensive data are critical for determining the behavior of the pathogen, identifying vulnerable populations, rapidly measuring the effectiveness of interventions, mobilizing the medical community around cutting-edge disease management, and inspiring cooperation from the public.

The shockingly low quality of virtually all relevant data pertinent to COVID-19, and the quackery, the obfuscation, the cherrypicking and blatant perversion would have scandalized, offended, and humiliated every prior generation of American public health officials.

Too often, Dr. Fauci was at the center of these systemic deceptions. The “mistakes” were always in the same direction—inflating the risks of coronavirus and the safety and efficacy of vaccines in order to stoke public fear of COVID and provoke…
