The Cleveland Clinic studied over 51,000 employees to see how effective the bivalent Covid-19 vaccines have been up until the close of the study on December 12, 2022. The start date was September 12, 2022. They specifically looked at reinfection incidence with covid-19 after one, two, three, and three-plus vaccines. The results are neatly presented in a line graph which we will look at later in this post. Two things really stand out. The first is that the more vaccinations the employees received, the more Covid-19 they got. The second thing is how the research paper described the vaccines as effective. I can't tell if this is a joke, as the paper is in pre-print and under peer review. In this post, we will look at the study with the results, then review their uncanny conclusions and discussion.
Read MoreOn September 7, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published a study with troubling data. The study is a large observational study that looks at 887,193 children aged 5 to 11 years in North Carolina, of whom 273,157 (30.8%) received at least one dose of the Pfizer vaccine between November 1, 2021, and June 3, 2022. The study includes 193,346 children who had Covid-19 infections reported between March 11, 2020, and June 3, 2022. The researchers compared the effectiveness of the vaccines to the effectiveness of previous Covid-19 infections. They also compared the effectiveness of the vaccines when given to children that have had Covid-19. The results showed that infection from Covid-19 promotes better immunity in children than the vaccines. It also found that the immunity from the vaccines wanes quickly. Most disturbing, the vaccines appear to negate the immunity gained from infection even into negative territory. In other words, the vaccines sometimes promote Covid-19 infections. This is alarming.

Read MoreOne of my dogs, Luna, was injured this week and is in the hospital. Thankfully she is expected to make a full recovery. Her absence has been a reminder of how important she is to our family. But her absence has also reminded me how important she is to our health and well-being. She puts a smile on my face, calms me, and makes me happier. Let's look at the science behind how dogs can help us be happier, healthier, and live longer.
Read MoreI spend so much time talking about the dangers of processed carbohydrate consumption, I have neglected to talk much about the elephant in the room, cigarette smoking. I think I just assumed that people understand the perils of smoking. Perhaps I was mistaken. Keep in mind that cigarette smoking is different from vaping. But if you are a smoker, are you aware of how bad it is for your body? Your Mouth? Read on if you are curious.
Read MoreWe are in the midst of heated times. The implication that unvaccinated people are dangerous is misguided, and I need to speak up. I present facts and ideas that you may not be aware of. I have nothing against vaccines personally and went out of my way to get certified by my state to provide them for anyone wanting one. I deem the matter a personal choice, and the law and medical ethics support this. I believe the risk from receiving the Covid-19 vaccination is probably minimal. The vast majority of us should take it without fear of harm. Like everything in life, individuals must weigh the pros and cons. The views expressed in this post are my opinions only. You should address concerns about the Covid-19 vaccination only with qualified medical professionals.
