COVID-19 Health System Overload Forecaster
Burleigh, why do you keep peddling this nonsense about doctors and nurses being scared about saying anything against the vaccine? The overwhelming majority of doctors and nurses genuinely agree with the vaccines. I asked my sister, who is a nurse, and my brother-in-law, who is a doctor, about your claim and they said that the only ones who should fear suspension or reregistration are those who spread harmful misinformation, like the quack in my local town who was struck off for discouraging all of his patients from getting vaccinated and even refusing to consult patients who had already been vaccinated. Fortunately, these rogue practitioners are a tiny minority. My father, who is a retired doctor and has nothing to fear from medical authorities, is adamant that the vaccines are a crucial strategy in the management of the pandemic. He even got slightly annoyed when I suggested that there are laypeople like you speaking on behalf of the medical establishment. Mate, just let the experts do their job.

4 billion dose just of is very small sample. Vlad read vax anti expert on Web say think good scientist never release drug if not test on at least 1 billion mice then 5 billion peasant is no bad reaction so be prove safe.
Good is only 1 billion more dose to peoples and is get enough data for vax anti peoples be happy.
Apart from being about as funny as cancer, you should realise what you don't know.
The experts are still asking questions and freely admit it.

Oh come on overthefalls, burleigh has a degree in virology from Meta University. What would a retired doctor know anyway?
Here’s the very latest from Professor Petrovsky and his progress with the TGA , its on You tube so no doubt many will disregard this as nonsense. For those that can be bothered watching its very interesting .
Yesterday's fish wrapper.
Nobody has a crystal ball.

And this is questionable when you put such faith in what is going on.
"The White House move usurped the normal process in which the FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention make these sort of science-based decisions, according to interviews with six current and former FDA scientists and CDC advisory panel members'.

The latest update.....from September. Try to keep up mate.
"The debate will likely be heated following the Biden administration's announcement last month — before the experts could weigh in — that the U.S. plans to start booster doses Sept. 20 if regulators approve them."
So they usurped the announcement.......not the decision which was still left to the regulators.
Try not to distort the facts mate.

Aaron, just because that claim appears in a newspaper doesn’t mean you’re getting the full story. Of course there are doctors who are complaining of being gagged; however, they are a minority. I’m not a medical expert, so I choose to to follow the advice of the majority because taking advice from the dissenting minority is unwise.

Great suggestion………… not
A GP is the best person to access your medical history and give you a balanced account of your risk / benefit, everyone is different as are their circumstances.
Loss count of GP's and specialists that I have seen suggest treatments / procedures and each time clearly laying out the risks, it was always my decision whether I proceeded or not.
Maybe you don't understand the process?

aaron61, seems to be as stupid as burleigh.
Are they in some sort of competition?
tyler, I think you are stretching things a bit there. Why would the spike proteins be more persistent than proteins introduced by other forms of vaccination? The estimate is that they persist for a few weeks.
@tyler , off subject but did you see this post from a few days ago ? Ivermectin (this arm is currently paused due to temporary supply issues). https://www.principletrial.org/
@blindboy , have you had a look at the video I put up on Petrovsky ? His initial phase 3 trials were on 17,000 people and now has been administered to 2 million people. Side effects have been minimal with some feeling flu like aches and pains for 24 hours. No myocarditis, no thrombosis and most importantly no deaths from the vaccine. The benchmark for efficacy set by the Iran FDA was 60% and they achieved above that against the delta varient. He has a lot of support from everyday Australians that have got behind this vaccine with its go fund me . Unbelievable to think a go fund me is helping this vaccine get looked at by the TGA . Strange times.
I haven't been following Petrovsky supa. It seems he got has had a hard time. Not sure why.
He covers a lot in that video and is definitely worth listening too . He explains the difference in his vaccine, boosters, marketing, child vaccination, policy, even talks about some of geert vanden bosshe views . Its 90 minutes long but very educational . I doubt you will agree with everything he says blindboy but keep an open mind, he’s been doing this his whole life . I think Burleigh and shortenism and others would also get something out of it .

Not scared mate, they have been threatened. If a Dr gives an exemption they will be audited. This is why Clot Morrison and the premiers have a big smile on their face when they say to consult your GP. Doctors have been politicised.
Ask your sister and brother in law why there is such an increase in myocarditis in young fit healthy people. And will they go on the record about it. I bet they won’t. Ask them about early treatments and if they will go on the record. Again I bet they won’t.
Just the experts being silenced while fit healthy people are injured. That’s not doing their job
"Just the experts being silenced (about myocarditis) while fit healthy people are injured. That’s not doing their job"
Oh FFS burleigh, this is perhaps the most ridiculous statement you've come up with.
If someone has myocarditis there's fucking evidence that the condition actually exists. Scans, symptoms, treatment protocols, etc. Do you honestly think a doctor would not report myocarditis (that is easily provable with evidence) for fear of a backlash? This is tinfoil hat garbage.
Your last post is a late entry for dumbest comment on this thread.
@overthefalls , in the Petrovsky video he also touches on doctors being censored and the loss of doctor patients relationship, maybe get your brother in law and sister to have a look and see what they think ?

Overthefalls can ask his bro in law. And if it’s reported is he allowed to discuss the numbers? Obviously not personal stuff but can he express his concern of myocarditis and other known vaccine injuries publicly, or will he face disciplinary action?

Absolute drivel Burleigh. The fact you know that myocarditis is a side effect (a very rare one) because it's openly discussed by doctors, puts a massive hole in your argument.
Doctors can discuss vaccine side effects and all other medical issues openly without disciplinary action as long as they are A. accurate and B. Respect patient privacy.
What doctors can't do without consequence is push anti-vax BS. I know this upsets you, but hey, the medical profession does have standards and respects rigorous research, unlike you.
“tyler, I think you are stretching things a bit there. Why would the spike proteins be more persistent than proteins introduced by other forms of vaccination? The estimate is that they persist for a few weeks.”
Blindboy, I haven’t looked at the research on how long the spike protein stays on the cell surface but firstly, live-attenuated vaccines don’t do anything to the cell membrane.
Secondly, if the spike protein disappear on the cell surface then each time you get a booster your risk (and the population risk) of a complication is exactly the same.
Ie the population adverse drug reaction rate is exactly the same and accumulates with each booster.
Re the Oxford trial of Ivermectin and the supposed shortage of supply, not sure what to make of that. Seems like with a few phone calls and a bit of pre-planning they probably could have sourced a few extra thousand tablets pretty easily.
Maybe there’s more to the story.
After all it’s not really likely to produce a result. It’s a low dose and short duration given on an empty stomach and it’s assessing mild Covid up to 14 days after symptom onset. Often Covid is gone by day 10 and the viral replication phase is well and truly over by about day 7 as far as I understand. So therefore there will be plenty of subjects basically on the road to recovery spontaneously and/or fully recovered when they enter the trial.
The devil will be in the detail. My guess is that it will pass peer review and will be proudly declared to show that Ivermectin has no benefit

Yes agreed, it looks as though it was designed to fail and doctors said so months ago . Running out of stock made me laugh, shows how serious they were . Merck new drug is a bit of a joke , down to 30% efficacy and Australia has brought 300,000 doses for an unapproved drug. Pfizer new pill only good if used in the first 3 days , no doubt we will be stocking up on that one too .
tyler my understanding is that the protein is on the surface of B cells that are antigen presenting cells and so would behave the same as any other antigen.
Not sure BB. My understanding is that it is taken up in every other cell as well. I mean why wouldn’t it be? And certainly the vascular complications of the vaccine are said to be from the spike protein, so therefore it is probably on other cells apart from B cells.
Don’t know enough about it (don’t think anyone does) but either way, if the spike proteins dissipate rapidly then are reintroduced with the next booster then by definition the risk is the same second (or third etc) time around and will be cumulative with each booster.
May not be that simple but I guess we’ll find out with each round of boosters
Yeh I did a bit of a quick refesher and the role of the antigen presenting cells is to stimulate the T cells. You are right about the take up in.other cells the antigens on their surface then initiate clonal selection leading to the production of antibodies. I think the data so far is encouraging in terms of the safety and expect that to continue. The US has been rolling out boosters for a while so there should be preliminary data soon.
Just when you think you know something the damn real world evidence throws a curve ball at you.
Nice to hear a balanced and civil reply BB.
Maybe you had a few clean 3 footers on dark like I did.
But I can’t see a way how the adverse event rate will not be cumulative with each booster, given that it reintroduces spike protein on the cell surface each time.
Couple that with basically daily increases in evidence for early treatment and you can’t help but think that there is a limited lifespan to recurrent boosters.
But the vaccines do reduce severity of illness thus far, that’s not in doubt.
However there is a chance that risk-benefit ratio will reverse in the future, it will remain to be seen
UK Vaccinated Adults are currently spreading 72.46% more Covid than brotherly Unvaccinated.
There is no Fake Mandate for VIP Card / Hospital Care...(Hesitants are saving lives & Healthcare Costs)
Salute UK Health for supplying the Vax Data...this helps clear the air!
You'd kinda think that Experts would trip over WR stats & rush release Alerts?
As the rate shows...Adult VIP Vaxerz will soon spread 100% more Covid than unvaxed.
Mass Vax is orchestrating their own relentless Covid Health care crisis.
UK Wk 32-35 or (9th Aug- 5th Sept) Adult Totals
Unvaxed 113,936 cases (22.77%) No Vax Rate 35.4% = 35.68% reduction of Covid infections / rescues
Vaxed 386,366 cases (77.23%) 2 Dose Rate 58.1% = 32.93% Extra spread of Covid infections / Death
UK Wk 46-49 or (8th Nov-5th Dec) Adult Totals
Unvaxed 104,612 cases ( 16.07%) No Vax Rate 22.1% = 37.52% reduction of Covid infections / rescues
Vaxed 546,335 cases (83.93%) 2 Dose Rate 62.22% = 34.94% Extra spread of Covid infections / death
9th Aug-5th Dec Unvaxed improved on their Covid lowering efficacy (Better immunity) by 1.84%
Vax efficacy fell a further 2.01% = Over period = Vax immunity wanes 3,85% faster than unvaxed.
VIP Vax Pass holders are currently spreading 72.46% more Covid than their Unvaxed rescuers!
tbb salutes Hesitants for mopping up Expert's Covid Tsunamis..
Experts own Data reveal their Pet Vaxerz are stoking Covid Tsunamis taller & faster...'Out the back!'
Stop! Nothing to do with Unvaxed! This is Vax getting shittier from the Vax Plant or Demographic shift!
People should know that their Vax is turning to shit when they need it most! Well Shouldn't they?
Could explain why Youth Cases are rising as Vax loses 2% efficacy at the Factory. (Let's not go there!)
UK Rollout has long been the leading source of Covid...don't need an expert to tell the crew that!
tbb is guessing the crew are smart enough to see the truth...there is no spin! Straight data rip!
WHO [ Virus can't Spread ] but Warns Against ...
[ Mandates ] [ Vax Pass ] [ Boosters ] [ Hoarding Vax ] [ Mix Vax ] [ Poor Vax Records ]
World Science & Govt Health Experts collective reply: "No! No! No! No! No! & No! Did we miss any?"
Expert's Shit Show lost respect leading to hesitants delay in signing up for the Wacky Vax Race!
Seriously! If All Govts tell WHO to fuck off before every directive.. then wot inspiration for hesitants!
Oz Booster is not recorded on Certs or used for compliance
UK & Oz have poor form on Incubation Spikes > Both nations censored Phase 1 Vax & now Boosters.
Booster Vax Ramps are currently skyrocketing UK & Oz & locking down many nations.
France (Boosters Rollout covid incubation by exact Age Phases now fills Hospitals by Phase order.)
So why don't the experts share such important Booster News! ... tbb is joking right!
Boosters represent largest / fastest data on most current Vax Spikes (Bonus UK Example!)
4/5th Dec UK 339,286 doses/day > 874,036 tests/day > 43,252 cases/day
#1 advice : Isolate 2 weeks after Vax! (See the result when everyone ignores #1 Age old Vax Advice!)
16/17th Dec UK 890,945 doses/day > 1,634,872 tests/day > 92,597 cases/day (Near perfect Display!)
So any here can convince others that it's a perfect coincidence & Covid is running the show! Good Luck!
Boris, Dan / Gladys all do the same, in reverse if need be, for Freedom Days ( Drop Vax >Tests > Covid )
Yes! NSW are also pulling the same stunt right now ( Ramp Vax > Ramp Tests > Ramp Covid!) Check!
WTF...Govts refuse to show a weak side to Anti Vaxerz...so forgo Incubation Isolation = WR Spikes
However! These Spikes are Triple Vaxed & are prioritized for Home recovery ( Not on Hospital Data)
New Variant > Waning Panic > more Vax > more Incubation leaks > more Cases > more Fear > more Vax
We'll Check UK again...just to be sure - no funny business...
Quite a healthy lot of Lowest Vax 30-50% UK Cities having lowest UK Covid under 50 cases.
Also Birmingham / Wolverhampton / Liverpool / Bolton / Sunderland / Drewsbury low Vax > Low cases
Even North London still has some Low Vax Pockets fighting off Covid spreading Vax Bullies.
Yes True! There are a few High Vaxed Cities with Low Covid. (That's mostly as Hi Vax is the new norm!)
The rest is a Wasteland of Vaxed Covid Zombies cluelessly spreading Covid at record rates...Wot! Me!
If UK wishes to cut down on Hospital Costs then call off yer Rollout VIPs from spreading record Covid.
Otherwise! It's only fair to send 72.4% of Extra Covid Health Costs to VIP Superspreaderz. (Correct!)
Sure! Reward Hesitants with VIP Passes for soaking up an extra 37.52% Covid...
Isolate the Vaxed VIP Super Spreaders until Hesitant Clean Up Crew can mop up their Vax mess!
Or maybe fast track that goofball End of the World Vax Plan...sure it will come good...just humour them!
Never seen anything more dastardly evil in all of a lifetime, demons wish to harvest every single soul.
Great stuff TBB. thanks.

"When you have COVID-19 you can’t just go to the GP, so if anything is not quite right, you have to go to hospital via ambulance. It’s embarrassing and dramatic but can’t be avoided."
What is embarassing if not outright scandalous is 2 years into this crap-show we do not have a pre-hospitalisation treatment plan / drug protocol for early diagnosis Covid patients. We've bet the house on vaccines and forgotten to treat the sick.
Says the well known infectious disease expert. Not.
Covid is so hardcore that only the supremely fit and Uber healthy like Barnaby Joyce can survive it’s evil clutches.
Omicold is coming for you!
The PR spin doctors have “modelled” up a storm and more death plague fear is to be served daily to all!
Or…..you could respect the real world outcomes:
South Africa deaths are running at just 7.5% of the weekly deaths from back in July when they had their last Covid wave. Hospitalisations are falling, in the Gauteng province they are already half that of the previous week. So Omicron looks like no big deal, with symptoms being that of a common cold.

A few people round here have had Covid in the past week or two.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't take it seriously in the broader sense though.
