Covid

Vax-ed as Sick as Unvax-ed, Amongst My Friends

By

I live in a seaside town with a surf culture, attracting many seeking an alternative lifestyle, with probably an unusually high percentage of Covid-19 unvaccinated – at least amongst my friends.   We have lived free of Covid until recently, until New Year’s Eve.  It was four days after that that I first heard about it spreading amongst my friends and acquittances here in Noosa.

For the last decade I have spent most New Year’s Eves at the local surf club.  This year I choose to stay home – and play scrabble with my husband and mother.  I have been waiting for Covid to arrive, and I have feared it.

I got vaccinated against Covid-19 because I understood that it would reduce my chance of falling ill – of being hospitalized – that was after I was told that it was not clear whether being vaccinated would stop me getting it.   I have come to understand that being vaccinated against Covid-19 is more like being vaccinated against the flu, than say smallpox.  With a smallpox vaccination you are protected for life, but with a Covid vaccine, well some of my friends are asking why they bothered.  Because it doesn’t seem to have made any difference.

Amongst my friends here, and in Cairns where it is also spreading, the vaccinated and unvaccinated seem to be ill for a day or two and then better within three or four.   Some of the unvaccinated are taking the alternative medicine Ivermectin with zinc, but not all of them.

This is not how it was meant to be: vaxed as sick as un-vaxed!

I understand that I am not meant to be writing this.  That if I was patriotic, I would be lamenting Covid.  I know I am meant to still fear it.  We see pictures on the news at night, increasingly of children in hospital dying from Covid-19.

I emailed a couple of professionals yesterday, including a relative with a master’s degree in public health, asking about the extent of the testing of the vaccines efficacy, and also its safety.  I’m concerned about its safety because the vaccination of children in the 5 to 12 age bracket is about to begin in earnest here in Australia, and with the Pfizer mRNA technology. I can’t find which studies were used by the Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA) to determine the vaccine to be safe for this age group?  I am interested.  I am always interest in data.  I am a scientist and I have an inherent distrust of government and bureaucracies.

There is an open letter from the Queensland Health Practitioners Alliance, and others, explaining:

It is widely recognised and not contested that children are at low risk of serious illness from Covid-19. Children are vulnerable to myocarditis from mRNA vaccines. In addition, now that we have new information on novel gene-based vaccine adverse events, this provides significant warnings and safety signals.

The risk/benefit ratio in children, which was not in favour of Covid-19 vaccination originally, is now very likely to be very negative by any reasonable assessment. A Physicians and Medical Scientists Declaration lists 38 scientific papers as supporting evidence for this view (Attachment 4).

For small subgroups of children who might be at higher risk of serious illness from Covid-19 due to comorbid conditions, the need for vaccination is present but the risk/benefit ratio is likely to be more favourable with Covid-19 protein-based and attenuated virus-based vaccines. These vaccines are based on decades of known technology, and the Australian Government has purchased a supply of protein-based vaccines.

Anyway, the reply to me from the health professional is perhaps typical of those who want to preserve the status-quo and our respective for medical science, no matter the evidence and no matter the risk to our children.  She wrote:

I am not interested in debating the science related to vaccination. I know many of vaccine experts personally and would put my trust in their expertise and my life or the life of a loved one over some random click bait internet propelled and generated merchant of doubt*.

We are in the middle of a deadly pandemic, vaccinating the globe is part of our way out of it. This is merchant of doubt territory and it’s dangerous. It will only prolong the misery which will be disproportionately experienced by the poor, vulnerable and immune compromised.

We all benefit from getting people vaccinated. We can trust our health system including its experts.  No matter how much I read about it they would know more – and so I put my trust in them.

Really? Trust the experts. Unconditionally.

Just yesterday I read that Professor Mark Smyth is a fellow of the Australia Academy of Science, which describes him on its website as “the most highly cited immunologist in Australia.”

According to an article published yesterday by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (their ABC) this professor has been found to have fabricated scientific data used in support of grant funding applications and human trials.   Specifically, and I will quote from the article:

An independent panel, led by retired Queensland Court of Appeal judge Robert Gotterson and which included three eminent scientists, found Professor Smyth had seriously breached codes relating to the responsible conduct of research and the use of animals in research.

“The institute referred the findings to Queensland’s Crime and Corruption Commission, in line with its legislative obligations,” QIMR Berghofer said in a statement released on Tuesday.

“The findings against Mark Smyth included fabrication of research data, which was used to support grant funding applications and clinical trials.”

The institute said while there was no indication that participant safety had been compromised in any human trials using Professor Smyth’s research data, it had taken “decisive action” to notify the clinical studies involved.

Statistician John P.A. Ioannidis published a review of medical research back in 2005 entitled ‘Why most published research findings are false’ (Plos Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124 ).   It included comment that:

The majority of modern biomedical research is operating in areas with very low pre- and post-study probability for true findings.

The review by Professor Ioannidis is a devastating critic of the sad state of biomedical research; and it this same profession, biomedical research, that developed the new Covid-19 vaccines that do not seem to be working – at least not amongst my friends and acquittances either in Cairns, or here in Noosa.

Incarceration Nation: Frightened of Ivermectin, and Dihydrogen monoxide

By

When plain old water is called ‘dihydrogen monoxide’ – an accurate description of its chemical composition – people tend to be frightened of it.   Particularly so when some of its potentialities are listed including causing suffocation (drowning).  Yet, water is fundamental to life on Earth.

I would argue that the medicine Ivermectin is fundamental to my community effectively dealing with Covid.  Yet because a campaign has been run against it, people are now frightened of it.

There is a documentary entitled ‘Incarceration Nation’ about the speed with we jail people here in Australia, especially people of colour – and for the pettiest of crimes.   After receiving an exemption from Covid vaccination, the greatest tennis player in the world, Serbian Novak Djokovic, flew into Australia.  He is now being held in a detention centre; the relevant government Minister says he is free to leave our country at any time – but he is not free to leave the detention centre to play tennis, because he is unvaccinated.

Australians were initially told that they needed two injections, sometime apart, to be protected from the Covid virus, and that vaccination rates needed to reach 70 percent of the population to contain outbreaks.    With the emergence of a new and very different strains of the Covid virus we are now being told that we must get a booster shot to be protected.   In the beginning there were two very different vaccines available one known as AstraZeneca and the other Pfizer.  Initially we were told that it was important that the two injections be from the same product, Pfizer and Pfizer or AstraZeneca and AstraZeneca.  It is now the case that all boosters will be Pfizer.

Yet my doctor, a registered General Practitioner in Queensland, advised me against Pfizer on the basis it was very much an experimental vaccine using a new technology and that the risk of Pericarditis from a Pfizer vaccination, while rare, was a real possibility – particularly for young men and boys.

While arranging for me to be vaccinated with AstraZeneca, my doctor also prescribed what is known in anti-vaccination circles as ‘The Triple Therapy’ against Covid: Ivermectin, zinc and an antibiotic.   He advised me that should I get covid, even after being vaccinated, I should immediately begin the treatment.   Covid, he advised me, was a potentially terrible disease, and there was no guarantee that the vaccine would remain effective against new strains, but that the triple therapy: Ivermectin, with zinc and the antibiotic would.

Within a week of my doctor writing that prescription, Ivermectin was banned from sale in Australia for the treatment of Covid – by the government.

The unofficial advice has been that the Australian government wants everyone vaccinated rather than relying on medicines.

Yet if you read the peer reviewed literature – The Science – Ivermectin has a real role to play in both the treatment and as a prophylaxis against Covid.  For example, the conclusions from a review of Ivermectin trials published in the American Journal of Therapeutics (volume 28, pages 434 – 460) is that given the evidence of efficacy, safety, low cost, and current death rates, Ivermectin is likely to have a positive impact on health and economic outcomes of the pandemic across many countries.  The same review article explains that Ivermectin is not a new and experimental drug with an unknown safety profile. It is a WHO ‘Essential Medicine’ already used successfully to treat other diseases and very safe at correct doses.  The review article also states: ‘Ivermectin is likely to be an equitable, acceptable, and feasible global intervention against COVID-19. Health professionals should strongly consider its use, in both treatment and prophylaxis.

Yet the Australian government has banned my doctor from now prescribing Ivermectin for use as either a prophylaxis or treatment against Covid.

There is no avoiding the reality that the Australian government’s approach to the management of this pandemic has been unscientific.   Rather than empowering doctors to sift through the available information as it is published, the Australian government has tried to force us all to be vaccinated.

Anyone who has refused has been ostracised, and many have been forced to close their businesses.   For example, my friend Patrick ran a very successful restaurant (Sushi Monster) here in Noosa for 12 years, but he chose to close the day before the vaccine mandate was introduced – he closed his restaurant on December 16, 2021 rather than have his 16-year-old son who worked in that business vaccinated with Pfizer.   The mandate decrees that to legally work in a restaurant in Queensland that provides table serve and/or that serves alcohol you need to be vaccinated.

It is the case that Patrick, and perhaps also Novak Djokovic, are more frightened of Pfizer than they are of Ivermectin – and perhaps for good reason.

Of concern, the information relied on to license the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine has never been made public.   On Thursday, the very same day that Novak Djokovic’s lawyers were arguing for his right to play tennis in Australia despite his vaccination status, a judge in the U.S. ordered that Pfizer’s pre-licensure safety data be all released and within the next eight months.  It had previously been argued in court that this was impossible because there was so much documentation, apparently it needs to be released at a rate of 55,000 pages a month for it to be all released within the next eight months!  This would suggest to me that the safety of Pfizer is dependent on many ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’.

When I asked Patrick, as he closed-up his shop on the last day, what his hopes and fears were for the future he replied that he just hoped he could stay out of jail.

I initially thought he was joking, but there was no smile on his face.

Afterall, like Novak Djokovic, Patrick is not the type to agree to 9pm curfews or keeping his boys from visiting playgrounds.  Yet if you didn’t agree to these imposts and you were a resident of Melbourne this last year, and you weren’t prepared to pay fines, you risked jail.

Australia is no longer a free nation – if it ever was.

Each of us today, has a choice.

We can choose to hate Novak and Patrick because they have the arrogance and intelligence to go against what has been decreed and what is popular.  The alternative is to stand with them and for science, and for choice.

Additional Information

  1. About the Journal that published the review study about Ivermectin

The American Journal of Therapeutics is a bimonthly medical journal covering advances in drug therapy, comparative effectiveness research, and post-marketing surveillance. The journal was established in 1994 by John Somberg MD and is published by Wolters Kluwer.

The journal has been part of the Web of Science Core Collection since 2010, with an impact factor of 2.688. The journal is included in the Index Medicus(Medline).

  1. Why we need boosters

An additional “booster” dose of Moderna or Pfizer mRNA-based vaccine is needed to provide immunity against the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a study by researchers at the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard. The results of this study, reported in the journal Cell, indicate that traditional dosing regimens of COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States do not produce antibodies capable of recognizing and neutralizing the Omicron variant.

  1. Why the Pfizer safety data is not public

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to produce, at a rate of 55,000 pages per month, the documents it relied on to license the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine.

The case was brought by the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT), which said the data should be made public quickly because the FDA took just 108 days to review the data before granting the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine full approval.

The group which bought the case comprises public health professionals, medical professionals, scientists, and journalists, includes Dr. Harvey Risch, a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, who was until recently a professor of psychiatry at UC Irvine’s School of Medicine, and Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist, epidemiologist, and internist.

4. A guide to treating Covid, at home

I’ve been asked various questions on Facebook that need context, so I have uploaded a guide popular with the unvaccinated.

 

Ivermectin Banned, Leunig Sacked: No Opportunity for Dissent When it Comes to Covid

By

I’ve just put a pen through the name of the doctor who prescribed the triple therapy (Ivermectin, Zinc and Zithromax) for me back in September, as either a prophylaxis or cure for Covid. That same doctor gave me the AstraZeneca vaccine. They are potentially complementary, according to that registered Australian doctor.

I crossed out his name on the medicines I have, not because I don’t like him or trust him, but because I don’t want him to get in any more trouble – but I wanted to post a picture of the medicines he prescribed for me, when it was still legal to do so.

I got my tablets (see feature image) the week before they were banned by the TGA for use against Covid.

These medicines are now banned, because here in Australia, we are not allowed to make up our own minds when it comes to best medicines, especially when it comes to Covid.

Should you have an informed opinion chances are you will be cancelled by one or more of the institutions. Indeed, that is what has just happened to one of Australia’s best-known cartoonists. Michael Leunig has just been sacked for questioning the government’s covid vaccine mandate.

A cryptic 39-word statement on the newspapers letters page last Monday said that they were “trialling new cartoonists”. The cartoonist confirmed to The Australian newspaper just yesterday that he was axed from his prized Monday editorial page position by The Age, after it dumped a cartoon in which he compared Daniel Andrews’ threat of “vaccine mandates” for Victoria to the famous Tiananmen Square vision of “Tank Man”, the Beijing dissenter who defiantly faced off against the Chinese government’s tanks in 1989.

The offending cartoon posted to Twitter, it was never published by the newspaper.

We are all expected to just get vaccinated never mind that this potential solution might not be the best option for everyone. It could even turn out that there are long term consequences. When I gave my daughter antibiotics back when she was two years old, I thought I was doing the right thing, it was what my doctor recommended. Chances are that it had a negative effect on the development of both her teeth and her gut microbiota, with long term consequences. Not that I’m against antibiotics but sometimes they may exacerbate a problem, rather than solve it. If I had my time over again, I would have done some research, and probably dissented.

Right now, when it comes to best public health responses, I’m no expert, and neither is Rebecca Weisser but I think she makes some good points:

Overlooked by almost everyone is the possibility that the pandemic could end with an effective treatment. If there were an outbreak of plague (which still exists in parts of the US and Africa) would the Australian government lock down the country because there’s no vaccine? Let’s hope not since there’s a perfectly effective antibiotic to treat the Black Death. When HIV emerged in the 1980s, there was no vaccine to prevent it. There still isn’t. Yet Aids-related deaths have been reduced by over 60 per cent, thanks largely to effective treatment.

The first essential element in responding to any pandemic is not a vaccine, which does nothing for people already infected, it is treatment. Indeed, an effective treatment reduces the circulation of a virus reducing the chances of mutations and makes a mass vaccination program safer and more effective.

It is to Australia’s credit that one of the most effective treatments was identified at Monash University along with the Doherty Institute which showed that ivermectin kills the Sars-CoV-2 virus within 48 hours. Yet to our national shame, the researchers have been starved of resources and the discovery ignored.

Not so in Indonesia where an enterprising philanthropist, Haryoseno, leapt into action and made ivermectin available to the masses for free or at low cost. As a result, Indonesia has had an extremely low Covid mortality rate. That is until the Ministry of Health decided, in line with the WHO’s recommendation, that ivermectin would only be used in a clinical trial. Haryoseno has been threatened with a fine and a ten-year jail sentence and the supply of ivermectin has dried up. Result? Deaths per million have increased five-fold since withdrawal of ivermectin on 12 June.

In Australia, one of the few doctors brave enough to use the drug to treat patients and save lives, Dr Mark Hobart, was reported to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Thankfully, AHPRA advised that there had been no infringement. Indeed, federal Health Minister Greg Hunt wrote to one of the doctors in Australia who prescribes ivermectin confirming that he was aware that some physicians are prescribing ivermectin off-label for Covid and that they were quite within their rights as the practice of prescribing registered medicines outside of their approved indications is not regulated or controlled by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)*, it is at the discretion of the prescribing physician*. Yet the silence persists. Ivermectin is the drug that dare not speak its name.

Some doctors prescribing ivermectin* are members of the Covid Medical Network. They can be contacted via their website and provide prescriptions for prophylaxis and treatment anywhere in the country (covidmedicalnetwork.com). Many follow the protocol established by world-renowned researcher Dr Thomas Borody who, largely at his own expense, has run a trial of an ivermectin triple therapy which has shown a reduction in mortality of 86 per cent in patients who were seriously ill with Covid. The only patients who died in the study – which has been published on preprint server medRxiv – were those that declined treatment.

Demonstrating the complete lack of urgency with which it treats repurposed drugs, the TGA last updated its advice on ivermectin on 1 June. It claims that there is currently insufficient evidence to support its safe and effective use. Yet since 1 June results of 15 new trials and meta-analyses of ivermectin have been published almost all showing steep declines in mortality. The question that the TGA has to answer is how is it possible to approve an experimental gene therapy vaccine with plummeting efficacy, significant short-term safety signals and unknown longterm side effects and yet not recommend a drug with an outstanding safety profile, which is supported by Nobel laureates and multiple randomised controlled trials?

* This situation has now changed, it is now illegal to prescribe Ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of Covid in Australia. And if you are a cartoonist of some standing dare not question the logic of this, or the vaccine mandate.

Why Craig Kelly Resigned on Tuesday

By

Craig Kelly has a huge following on Facebook. His daily posts were ‘liked’ and ‘shared’ by thousands, until he was blocked – disallowed, censored. His page is still there. He just can’t post anything. The banner at the top of his page says:

Today’s truth is frequently tomorrow’s error. There is nothing absolute about the truth … if the truth is to emerge and in the long run triumph, the process of free debate – the untrammelled clash of opinion – must go on.

Craig is quoting Australia’s longest serving Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies.

Last Tuesday, on 23rd February 2021, he handed his letter of resignation to the current Prime Minister, Scott Morrison. That was in the Great Hall of the Australian Parliament in front of the joint party room: 110 Senators and Members of the House of Representatives belonging to the Liberal and National Parties.

He has been a member of Parliament for over a decade, and he does make close friends. In making the speech that he did at 11.20 am that morning/Tuesday morning, Craig knew he would be losing some of his closest friends, and perhaps forever.

Craig phoned me yesterday to chat about it – while he packed up to leave Canberra after a tumultuous week. He was heading home: back to Sydney where he lives. But there is no refuge anywhere for Craig. Just two weeks ago, during a home invasion, someone flew the Islamic flag from his bedroom window and photographed it there while accusing him of being a supporter of the caliphate. Also recently, he was accused in the Sydney Morning Herald of being anti-Semitic because he described Dr Zev Zelenko as having a long Jewish beard. That is a fair description of the physical appearance of the American doctor who has recommended the drugs Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc and Azithromycin as a treatment for Covid. Craig is actually a fan of Zev’s – on the public record as describing Zev as a true hero, and someone from whom he (Craig Kelly) draws strength, courage and inspiration.

Craig likes people, and people of all ethnicities. He grew up in the 1970s, with a father who travelled the world buying wholesale for his successful furniture business in south western Sydney. Craig got to go on some of these overseas adventures: down the back streets of far-flung places from Hong Kong to Istanbul, where his father would seek out, not only the best business deal, but also the best of the local foods – especially the sweets.

Like his father, Craig cares about small business and also people, and their capacity to make their own decisions about how they furnish their home, what they choose to eat, and what medications they choose to take or reject. In his letter of resignation given to the Australian Prime Minister on Tuesday Craig wrote:

I acknowledge that some of my conduct over recent months has not helped … has made it difficult for you and the government. However, at all times I have acted upon my conscious and my beliefs – not political expediency.

My goal has only been to save lives and ensure that my constituents and all Australians, were not denied access to medical treatments if their doctors believe those treatments could save their life.

Craig was censored by Facebook for posting a quote from Professor Tom Borody who advocates Ivermectin, when combined with Doxycycline and Zinc, as an early treatment for Covid. Professor Borody is another of Craig’s heroes: recognized worldwide for his innovative clinical work and research into complex gastrointestinal disorders and infective disorders.

Another professor, probably Australia’s most senior immunologist, Robert Clancy, has also suggested there are alternatives to vaccination for the treatment of Covid. In a recent interview on ABC radio Professor Clancy made mention of a recent scientific review that summarises 43 different studies on Hydroxychloroquine, concluding that:

HCQ is consistently effective against COVID-19 when provided early in the outpatient setting, it is overall effective against COVID-19, it has not produced worsening of disease and it is safe.

So, why is Facebook banning Craig and why did the Australian Prime Minister’s Office ask that Craig Kelly remove – that he delete – 20 previous Facebook posts?

It was reported by The Guardian newspaper that up to 70 posts had disappeared from Craig’s Facebook page – the inference being that he/Craig had deliberately deleted them.

Craig has told me that all his Facebook posts are still there, and he has no intention of removing any of them. Craig tells me that he stands by everything that he has written on Facebook as accurate and correct. He acknowledges that others may disagree, and that he is keen to discuss why, especially with reference to clinical trials and published scientific papers.

Craig acknowledges that he is neither a scientist nor a doctor – but rather a politician with a keen interest in these issues who will always make-up his own mind based on reading and consulting widely. I know from personal experience that Craig will spend hours discussing detail and seemingly anomalous results always in search of the truth. Craig and I both enjoy the technical, and we both like puzzle solving.

My expertise, and most recent peer-reviewed published papers, are in climate science. Craig has been known to text me at midnight, asking for clarification about some detail pertaining to how air temperatures are measured and/or the historical temperature record for Australia remodelled/homogenised by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

Craig attempted to raise the issue of the world’s longest heat wave record in the Australian parliament a couple of years ago. Specifically, Craig was attempting to draw attention to how the historical observations/temperature measurements have been changed, and how the values as originally recorded at Marble Bar between 31 October 1923 and 7 April 1924 have been adjusted down.

When the Australian Bureau of Meteorology cools the past – as it does with most of the 112 temperature series used to construct the official statistics – current temperatures appear hotter. The remodelling of Marble Bar has, to quote Craig, also robbed Australia of the world’s longest heatwave record. This now goes to Death Valley in California.

Whether it is climate science or medical science, Craig revels in the detail. It is his current inability to communicate this detail, or to defend himself against accusations that he is promoting unproven treatments for Covid, that left him with no choice but to resign from the government on Tuesday.

He made up his mind last weekend. He finished drafting his letter of resignation to the Prime Minister Monday night. He also wrote a letter that same night to the Speaker, informing him of his resignation and asking for a reallocation of seating in the chamber and that he be given indulgence to address the house/the parliament.

Last Tuesday morning was really difficult for Craig.

The first thing the Prime Minister asked Craig when he gave him his letter of resignation was, ‘Why didn’t you tell me first’.

Had Craig told Scott Morrison of his intension to resign first, Craig believes that the Prime Minister would have denied him the opportunity to address his colleagues that morning in the joint Party room. There was nothing more important to Craig, than what he calls ‘eyeballing’ his colleagues, and explaining his decision: a most difficult decision – to leave the team, the government – his government.

Looking people in the eye, and having a firm handshake are both characteristics of Craig Kelly.

They are traits I so remember of my father, who like Craig’s father, travelled the world through the 1970s – but as an agricultural scientist working on international aid projects. Dad would often take me with him, and I also got to eat the most delicious foods. Dad liked his sweets, but also the hottest chilli sauces in the back streets of Jakarta.

I never got to meet Craig’s father, but I did go to his funeral, out of respect for Craig.

Craig Kelly is a good friend of mine, and his particular perspective on alternative treatments for Covid are worthy of scrutiny. And like Craig, I am of the opinion that the Covid vaccines now being rolled out across Australia may not be the best choice for everyone. More than anything else, just like the flu vaccines, it should be up to the individual whether they choose to be vaccinated – or not.

Update 31 May 2021
David Archibald just published this data on Ivermectin and ‘whole of country trials’ that backs up what Craig has been asking for … choice in terms of what we can use to prevent and/or treat Covid, there should be more options than just vaccine:
https://wentworthreport.com/ivermectin-whole-of-country-trials-in-real-time/

Writing in the Mountain Home magazine, Michael Capuzzo has put together a compelling narrative in support of Ivermectin that is also damning of mainstream medicine and their ability to act in the best interests of the individual when it comes to the oh-so political Covid-19: https://www.mountainhomemag.com/2021/05/01/356270/the-drug-that-cracked-covid
