CORRECTION : Vaccine candidate was found to be more than 90 % effective in preventing COVID-19 in participants without evidence @ @ @ @ @ the first interim efficacy analysis , not 99 % as previously stated .

By Children's Health Defense Team
Pfizer announced Monday's preliminary analysis of its COVID-19 vaccine trials indicates the vaccine will be more than 90% effective. The news sent stocks soaring and had the media all but doing cartwheels.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told CNN the vaccine is “the greatest medical advance” in the world’s last hundred years. He told ABC News that the drugmaker “feels very good about the safety.”
But the New York Times pointed out that Pfizer’s data — delivered in a news release, not a peer-reviewed medical journal — “is not conclusive evidence that the vaccine is safe and effective, and the initial finding of more than 90 percent efficacy could change as the trial goes on.”
Jesse Goodman, professor of medicine and infectious diseases at Georgetown University, told the Times, “We need to see the actual data, and we’re going to need longer-term results.”
Fast Company reported on the development by reminding readers that the Pfizer vaccine if approved, will be the first to use “an as-yet-unproven technology platform that relies on something called messenger RNA, usually shortened to mRNA.”
Moderna is also working on an mRNA COVID vaccine. In May, Children’s Health Defense reported that clinical trials for Moderna’s vaccine had a 20% “serious injury rate” in its high-dose group. Moderna told the New York Times this week it expects interim findings from its study this month.
Commenting on Pfizer’s latest vaccine news, Mary Holland, vice chair and general counsel for Children’s Health Defense said:
“New vaccine technology will likely mean new kinds of vaccine injuries. Because there’s never been a licensed mRNA vaccine before, we really don’t know what injuries are going to look like. In that the vaccines were developed so quickly, with such short clinical trials, the long-term injuries are a complete unknown.”
What exactly is mRNA technology? Fast Company describes it this way:
“Like other vaccines, mRNA vaccines work by training the immune system to recognize a threat like a virus and begin producing antibodies to protect itself. But while traditional vaccines often use inactivated doses of the organisms that cause disease, mRNA vaccines are designed to make the body produce those proteins itself. Messenger RNA — a molecule that contains instructions for cells to make DNA — is injected into cells. In the case of COVID-19, mRNA vaccines provide instructions for cells to start producing the ‘spike’ protein of the new coronavirus, the protein that helps the virus get into cells. On its own, the spike protein isn’t harmful. But it triggers the immune system to begin a defensive response. As Bill Gates, who has supported companies like Moderna and BioNTech through the Gates Foundation, has described it, ‘you essentially turn your body into its own manufacturing unit.’”
Holland and others are concerned that the combination of novel technology, fast-track approvals, and widespread panic that could trigger new vaccine mandates may lead to unprecedented types and numbers of injuries.
Pfizer, which is developing its COVID vaccine in partnership with German drugmaker BioNTech, recently confirmed that the drugmaker will seek emergency use authorization for its COVID vaccine from the Food and Drug Administration, once the company successfully completes clinical trials.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, previously stated that long-term immunity to COVID will be possible only if the “vast majority of the public get vaccinated” and that a vaccine will go hand-in-hand with “continued public health efforts.”
According to CBS Boston, Fauci told analysts in October that initial COVID vaccines won’t kill the virus, only prevent symptoms.
Vaccine makers, already shielded from liability for vaccine injuries under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, will be even more protected against COVID vaccine injuries. As reported by Mercola.com, in March, the Federal Register published a “Declaration Under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act for Medical Countermeasures Against COVID-19” which effectively sets up a new COVID “vaccine court.”
The new declaration expands the existing focus on injuries or deaths related to the recommended vaccines for children and pregnant women, to specifically include injuries stemming from a new COVID vaccine.
Meanwhile, Pfizer’s clinical trials — which include children — continue. According to Axios, Pfizer and BioNTech say they’ve enrolled “43,538 participants to date, 38,955 of whom have received a second dose of the vaccine candidate as of Nov. 8, 2020.”
Pfizer and BioNTech didn’t take money for research and development of their COVID vaccine under the federal government’s Operation Warp Speed program. But the program has promised Pfizer $1.95 billion to deliver 100 million doses to the federal government, which will be given to Americans free of charge, the New York Times reported.
The Wall Street Journal reported in October that Pfizer set up a facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan on “a stretch of land the size of a football field” in anticipation of delivering up to “100 million doses this year and another 1.3 billion in 2021.”

Anxiety, depression, and fear ravage so many today, but few pauses to consider that in addition to the material influences in our lives, we may be also under the influence of beings which exist in dimensions outside of our ordinary perception.
But there is much more to reality than what we can see. feel, hear, taste, and touch. In fact, an accounting of the matter that makes up the universe reveals that some 73% of it is made up of dark energy, and another 23% is made up of dark matter, neither of which can we see, nor understand. Furthermore, the human eye is only capable of seeing around .0035% of the entire spectrum of electromagnetic (EM) radiation. When we look into the heavens, 96% of it is invisible to us. Include in this the spiritual realms and there is an entire universe of possibilities that exists beyond our five senses.
Very few scientists today are willing to explore metaphysics to examine life beyond ordinary perception in order to make a connection between the seen and the unseen.
Rudolf Steiner, though, one of the most prolific and gifted scientists, philosophers, and esotericists of his time, devoted much of his work to the task of peering behind the veil, sharing his insight into the deeper nature of life and of the world beyond.
Regarding anxiety and depression, Steiner spoke of hostile beings in the spiritual world that influence and feed off of human emotion; a concept flatly rejected by most today. Yet this also analysis holds true for shamans and others who access the spiritual dimensions in order to alleviate mental suffering for their patients.
Many are familiar with the notion of energy vampires, or people who suck your energy and feed off your negative emotions. On the existence of similar entities which exist in other dimensions, Steiner wrote:
“There are beings in the spiritual realms for whom anxiety and fear emanating from human beings offer welcome food. When humans have no anxiety and fear, then these creatures starve. People not yet sufficiently convinced of this statement could understand it to be meant comparatively only. But for those who are familiar with this phenomenon, it is a reality. If fear and anxiety radiates from people and they break out in panic, then these creatures find welcome nutrition and they become more and more powerful. These beings are hostile towards humanity. Everything that feeds on negative feelings, on anxiety, fear and superstition, despair or doubt, are in reality hostile forces in supersensible worlds, launching cruel attacks on human beings, while they are being fed. Therefore, it is above all necessary to begin with that the person who enters the spiritual world overcomes fear, feelings of helplessness, despair and anxiety. But these are exactly the feelings that belong to contemporary culture and materialism; because it estranges people from the spiritual world, it is especially suited to evoke hopelessness and fear of the unknown in people, thereby calling up the above mentioned hostile forces against them.” ~Rudolf Steiner
Negative emotions are food for inimical spirits.
A concept such as this isn’t readily accepted into the everyday conversation steered by rigid skepticism and scientific materialism. The traditions of today have sought to expel ancient metaphysical wisdom and its practical application from our lives, and though scientific inquiry is exceptionally valuable, the spiritual perception has always been a part of our experience.
“And yet, despite the cynical skepticism, all of the ancient mystery schools, true shamanic insights, and esoteric teachings (much of which have been suppressed and/or distorted over thousands of years for obvious reasons) have conveyed this truth for ‘the ones with eyes to see and ears to hear’, using their own language and symbolism, be it “The General Law” (Esoteric Christianity), Archons (Gnostics), “Lords of Destiny” (Hermeticism), Predator/Fliers – “The topic of all topics” (Shamanism, Castaneda), “The Evil Magician” (Gurdjieff), The Shaitans (Sufism), The Jinn (Arabian mythology), Wetiko (Native American Spirituality), Occult Hostile Forces (Sri Aurobindo & The Mother, The Integral Yoga), etc.” ~Bernhard Guenther
Dealings with extra-sensory or hyper-dimensional beings have long been a part of our history, and are directly accessible to any of us when proper practice and attention is given to the matter. I know this to be true from my experiences with plant medicine shamanism where it is entirely possible to enter into states of consciousness where entire cosmologies of life exist and are available to interact with.
Finding oneself in the rut of spiraling negative self-talk, depression, crippling anxiety, or uncontrollable, irrational fear, is a sign, as Steiner points out, of a disconnection from our true spiritual nature, exacerbated by beings who operate in the spiritual realms. This is why some consider disorders like this to be spiritual illnesses, and until the rift is healed with proper attention given to the development of the spirit, the feelings tend to exacerbate and drive one further into distress.
“When humans have no anxiety and fear, then these creatures starve.” ~Rudolph Steiner

consciouslifenews--2020-11-12--Dystopian “Great Reset”: “Own Nothing and Be Happy”, Being Human in 2030

The World Economic Forum ’ s ( WEF ) annual meeting at the end of January in Davos , Switzerland , brings together international business and political leaders , economists , and other high-profile individuals to discuss global issues .
Driven by the vision of its influential CEO Klaus Schwab , the WEF is the main driving force for the dystopian ‘ great reset ’ , a tectonic shift that intends to change how we live , work and interact with each other .
The Great Reset entails a transformation of society resulting in permanent restrictions on fundamental liberties and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to boost the monopoly and hegemony of pharmaceuticals corporations , high-tech/big data giants , Amazon , Google , major global chains , the digital payments sector , biotech concerns , etc .
Using COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions to push through this transformation , the great reset is being rolled out under the guise of a ‘ Fourth Industrial Revolution ’ in which older enterprises are to be driven to bankruptcy or absorbed into monopolies , effectively shutting down huge sections of the pre-COVID economy .
Economies are being ‘ restructured ’ and many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ machines .
In a short video below , the WEF predicts that by 2030 , “ You ’ ll own nothing and you ’ ll be happy.
” A happy smiling face is depicted while a drone delivers a product to a household , no doubt ordered online and packaged by a robot in a giant Amazon warehouse : ‘ no humans were involved in manufacturing , packaging or delivering this product ’ ; rest assured , it is virus- and bacteria-free – because even in 2030 , they will need to keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ maintain full-spectrum dominance over the population .
The jobless ( and there will be many ) could be placed on some kind of universal basic income and have their debts ( indebtedness and bankruptcy on a massive scale is the deliberate result of lockdowns and restrictions ) written off in return for handing their assets to the state or more precisely the financial institutions helping to drive this great reset .
The WEF says the public will ‘ rent ’ everything they require : stripping the right of ownership under the guise of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the planet ’ .
Of course , the tiny elite who rolled out this great reset will own everything .
Hundreds of millions around the world deemed ‘ surplus to requirements ’ are to be robbed ( are currently being robbed ) of their livelihoods .
Our every movement and purchase are to be monitored and our main dealings will be online .
The plan for individual citizens could reflect the strategy to be applied to nation-states .
For instance , World Bank Group President David Malpass has stated that poorer countries will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their feet after the various lockdowns that have been implemented .
This ‘ help ’ will be on condition that neoliberal reforms and the undermining of public services are implemented and become further embedded .
On 20 April , the Wall Street Journal ran the headline ‘ IMF , World Bank Face Deluge of Aid Requests From Developing World .
Scores of countries are asking for bailouts and loans from financial institutions with $ 1.2 trillion to lend .
An ideal recipe for fuelling dependency .
In return for debt relief or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the likes of Bill Gates will be able to further dictate national policies and hollow out the remnants of nation-state sovereignty .
What will happen to our social and personal identity ?
Is that to be eradicated in the quest to commodify and standardize human behavior and everything we do ?
The billionaire class who are pushing this agenda think they can own nature and all humans and can control both , whether through geoengineering the atmosphere , for example , genetically modifying soil microbes or doing a better job than nature @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lab .
They think they can bring history to a close and reinvent the wheel by reshaping what it means to be human .
And they think they can achieve this by 2030 .
It is a cold dystopian vision that wants to eradicate thousands of years of culture , tradition , and practices virtually overnight .
And many of those cultures , traditions , and practices related to food and how we produce it , and our deep-rooted connections to nature .
Consider that many of the ancient rituals and celebrations of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ myths that helped them come to terms with some of the most basic issues of existence , from death to rebirth and fertility .
These culturally embedded beliefs and practices served to sanctify their practical relationship with nature and its role in sustaining human life .
As agriculture became key to human survival , the planting and harvesting of crops and other seasonal activities associated with food production were central to these customs .
Freyfaxi marks the beginning of the harvest in Norse paganism , for example , while Lammas or Lughnasadh is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Paganism .
Humans celebrated nature and the life it gave birth to .
Ancient beliefs and rituals were imbued with hope and renewal and people had a necessary and immediate relationship with the sun , seeds , animals , wind , fire , soil , and rain and the changing seasons that nourished and brought life .
Our cultural and social relationships with agrarian production and associated deities had a sound practical base .
Prof Robert W Nicholls explains that the cults of Woden and Thor were superimposed on far older and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the earth , the crops and the animals , and the rotation of the seasons between the light and warmth of summer and the cold and dark of winter .
We need to look no further than India to appreciate the important relationship between culture , agriculture , and ecology , not least the vital importance of the monsoon and seasonal planting and harvesting .
Rural-based beliefs and rituals steeped in nature persist , even among urban Indians .
These are bound to traditional knowledge systems where livelihoods , the seasons , food @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , healthcare , and the passing on of knowledge are all inter-related and form the essence of cultural diversity within India itself .
Although the industrial age resulted in a diminution of the connection between food and the natural environment as people moved to cities , traditional ‘ food cultures ’ – the practices , attitudes , and beliefs surrounding the production , distribution , and consumption of food – still thrive and highlight our ongoing connection to agriculture and nature .
If we go back to the 1950s , it is interesting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ narrative based on a series of images that depicted the company as a ‘ hand of god ’ coming out of the sky to ‘ solve ’ some of the issues facing humanity .
One of the most famous images is of the hand pouring the firm ’ s agrochemicals on Indian soils as if traditional farming practices were somehow ‘ backward ’ .
Despite well-publicized claims to the contrary , this chemical-driven approach did not lead to higher food production according to the paper ‘ New Histories of the Green Revolution ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it has had long-term devastating ecological , social , and economic consequences ( see Vandana Shiva ’ s book ‘ The Violence of the Green Revolution ’ and Bhaskar Save ’ s now a famous and highly insightful open letter to Indian officials ) .
In the book ‘ Food and Cultural Studies ’ ( Bob Ashley et al ) , we see how , some years ago , a Coca-Cola TV ad campaign sold its product to an audience that associated modernity with a sugary drink and depicted ancient Aboriginal beliefs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coke and not rain became the giver of life to the parched .
This type of ideology forms part of a wider strategy to discredit traditional cultures and portray them as being deficient and in need of assistance from ‘ god-like ’ corporations .
What we are seeing in 2020 , is an acceleration of such processes .
In terms of food and agriculture , traditional farming in places like India will be under increasing pressure from the big-tech giants and agribusiness to open up to lab-grown food , GMOs , genetically engineered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and drones , and other ‘ disruptive ’ technologies .
The great reset includes farmerless farms being manned by driverless machines , monitored by drones , and doused with chemicals to produce commodity crops from patented GM seeds for industrial ‘ biomatter ’ to be processed and constituted into something resembling food .
What will happen to the farmers ?
Post-COVID , the World Bank talks about helping countries get back on track in return for structural reforms .
Are tens of millions of smallholder farmers to be enticed from their land in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basic income ?
The displacement of these farmers and the subsequent destruction of rural communities and their cultures was something the Gates Foundation once called for and cynically termed “ land mobility ” .
Cut through the euphemisms and it is clear that Bill Gates – and the other incredibly rich individuals behind the great reset – is an old-fashioned colonialist who supports the time-honored dispossession strategies of imperialism , whether this involves mining , appropriating and commodifying farmer knowledge , accelerating the transfer of research and seeds to corporations or facilitating intellectual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ IP laws and seed regulations .
In places like India – still an agrarian-based society – will the land of these already ( prior to COVID ) heavily indebted farmers then be handed over to the tech giants , the financial institutions , and global agribusiness to churn out their high-tech , data-driven GM industrial sludge ?
Is this part of the ‘ own nothing , be happy ’ bland brave new world being promoted by the WEF ?
With the link completely severed between food production , nature , and culturally embedded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life , we will be left with the individual human who exists on lab-based food , who is reliant on income from the state , and who is stripped of satisfying productive endeavor and genuine self-fulfillment .
Technocratic meddling has already destroyed or undermined cultural diversity , meaningful social connections , and agrarian ecosystems that draw on centuries of traditional knowledge and are increasingly recognized as valid approaches to secure food security ( for example , see ‘ Food Security and Traditional Knowledge in India ’ in the Journal of South Asian Studies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ envisaged regards humans as commodities to be controlled and monitored just like the lifeless technological drones and AI being promoted .
But do not worry – you will be property-less and happy in your open prison of mass unemployment , state dependency , track and chip health passports , cashlessness , mass vaccination , and dehumanization .

In a short video below, the WEF predicts that by 2030, “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.” A happy smiling face is depicted while a drone delivers a product to a household, no doubt ordered online and packaged by a robot in a giant Amazon warehouse: ‘no humans were involved in manufacturing, packaging or delivering this product’; rest assured, it is virus- and bacteria-free – because even in 2030, they will need to keep the fear narrative alive and well to maintain full-spectrum dominance over the population.
The jobless (and there will be many) could be placed on some kind of universal basic income and have their debts (indebtedness and bankruptcy on a massive scale is the deliberate result of lockdowns and restrictions) written off in return for handing their assets to the state or more precisely the financial institutions helping to drive this great reset. The WEF says the public will ‘rent’ everything they require: stripping the right of ownership under the guise of ‘sustainable consumption’ and ‘saving the planet’. Of course, the tiny elite who rolled out this great reset will own everything.
Hundreds of millions around the world deemed ‘surplus to requirements’ are to be robbed (are currently being robbed) of their livelihoods. Our every movement and purchase are to be monitored and our main dealings will be online.
The plan for individual citizens could reflect the strategy to be applied to nation-states. For instance, World Bank Group President David Malpass has stated that poorer countries will be ‘helped’ to get back on their feet after the various lockdowns that have been implemented. This ‘help’ will be on condition that neoliberal reforms and the undermining of public services are implemented and become further embedded.
On 20 April, the Wall Street Journal ran the headline ‘IMF, World Bank Face Deluge of Aid Requests From Developing World. Scores of countries are asking for bailouts and loans from financial institutions with $1.2 trillion to lend. An ideal recipe for fuelling dependency.
In return for debt relief or ‘support’, global conglomerates along with the likes of Bill Gates will be able to further dictate national policies and hollow out the remnants of nation-state sovereignty.
Identity and meaning
What will happen to our social and personal identity? Is that to be eradicated in the quest to commodify and standardize human behavior and everything we do?
The billionaire class who are pushing this agenda think they can own nature and all humans and can control both, whether through geoengineering the atmosphere, for example, genetically modifying soil microbes or doing a better job than nature by producing bio-synthesized fake food in a lab.
They think they can bring history to a close and reinvent the wheel by reshaping what it means to be human. And they think they can achieve this by 2030. It is a cold dystopian vision that wants to eradicate thousands of years of culture, tradition, and practices virtually overnight.
And many of those cultures, traditions, and practices related to food and how we produce it, and our deep-rooted connections to nature. Consider that many of the ancient rituals and celebrations of our forebears were built around stories and myths that helped them come to terms with some of the most basic issues of existence, from death to rebirth and fertility. These culturally embedded beliefs and practices served to sanctify their practical relationship with nature and its role in sustaining human life.
As agriculture became key to human survival, the planting and harvesting of crops and other seasonal activities associated with food production were central to these customs. Freyfaxi marks the beginning of the harvest in Norse paganism, for example, while Lammas or Lughnasadh is the celebration of the first harvest/grain harvest in Paganism.
Humans celebrated nature and the life it gave birth to. Ancient beliefs and rituals were imbued with hope and renewal and people had a necessary and immediate relationship with the sun, seeds, animals, wind, fire, soil, and rain and the changing seasons that nourished and brought life. Our cultural and social relationships with agrarian production and associated deities had a sound practical base.
Prof Robert W Nicholls explains that the cults of Woden and Thor were superimposed on far older and better-rooted beliefs related to the sun and the earth, the crops and the animals, and the rotation of the seasons between the light and warmth of summer and the cold and dark of winter.
We need to look no further than India to appreciate the important relationship between culture, agriculture, and ecology, not least the vital importance of the monsoon and seasonal planting and harvesting. Rural-based beliefs and rituals steeped in nature persist, even among urban Indians. These are bound to traditional knowledge systems where livelihoods, the seasons, food, cooking, processing, seed exchange, healthcare, and the passing on of knowledge are all inter-related and form the essence of cultural diversity within India itself.
Although the industrial age resulted in a diminution of the connection between food and the natural environment as people moved to cities, traditional ‘food cultures’ – the practices, attitudes, and beliefs surrounding the production, distribution, and consumption of food – still thrive and highlight our ongoing connection to agriculture and nature.
‘Hand of God’ Imperialism
If we go back to the 1950s, it is interesting to note Union Carbide’s corporate narrative based on a series of images that depicted the company as a ‘hand of god’ coming out of the sky to ‘solve’ some of the issues facing humanity. One of the most famous images is of the hand pouring the firm’s agrochemicals on Indian soils as if traditional farming practices were somehow ‘backward’.
Despite well-publicized claims to the contrary, this chemical-driven approach did not lead to higher food production according to the paper ‘New Histories of the Green Revolution’ written by Prof Glenn Stone. However, it has had long-term devastating ecological, social, and economic consequences (see Vandana Shiva’s book ‘The Violence of the Green Revolution’ and Bhaskar Save’s now a famous and highly insightful open letter to Indian officials).
In the book ‘Food and Cultural Studies’ (Bob Ashley et al), we see how, some years ago, a Coca-Cola TV ad campaign sold its product to an audience that associated modernity with a sugary drink and depicted ancient Aboriginal beliefs as harmful, ignorant and outdated. Coke and not rain became the giver of life to the parched. This type of ideology forms part of a wider strategy to discredit traditional cultures and portray them as being deficient and in need of assistance from ‘god-like’ corporations.
What we are seeing in 2020, is an acceleration of such processes. In terms of food and agriculture, traditional farming in places like India will be under increasing pressure from the big-tech giants and agribusiness to open up to lab-grown food, GMOs, genetically engineered soil microbes, data harvesting tools, and drones, and other ‘disruptive’ technologies.
The great reset includes farmerless farms being manned by driverless machines, monitored by drones, and doused with chemicals to produce commodity crops from patented GM seeds for industrial ‘biomatter’ to be processed and constituted into something resembling food. What will happen to the farmers?
Post-COVID, the World Bank talks about helping countries get back on track in return for structural reforms. Are tens of millions of smallholder farmers to be enticed from their land in return for individual debt relief and universal basic income? The displacement of these farmers and the subsequent destruction of rural communities and their cultures was something the Gates Foundation once called for and cynically termed “land mobility”.
Cut through the euphemisms and it is clear that Bill Gates – and the other incredibly rich individuals behind the great reset – is an old-fashioned colonialist who supports the time-honored dispossession strategies of imperialism, whether this involves mining, appropriating and commodifying farmer knowledge, accelerating the transfer of research and seeds to corporations or facilitating intellectual property piracy and seed monopolies created through IP laws and seed regulations.
In places like India – still an agrarian-based society – will the land of these already (prior to COVID) heavily indebted farmers then be handed over to the tech giants, the financial institutions, and global agribusiness to churn out their high-tech, data-driven GM industrial sludge? Is this part of the ‘own nothing, be happy’ bland brave new world being promoted by the WEF?
With the link completely severed between food production, nature, and culturally embedded beliefs that give meaning and expression to life, we will be left with the individual human who exists on lab-based food, who is reliant on income from the state, and who is stripped of satisfying productive endeavor and genuine self-fulfillment.
Technocratic meddling has already destroyed or undermined cultural diversity, meaningful social connections, and agrarian ecosystems that draw on centuries of traditional knowledge and are increasingly recognized as valid approaches to secure food security (for example, see ‘Food Security and Traditional Knowledge in India’ in the Journal of South Asian Studies). The massive technocratic transformation currently envisaged regards humans as commodities to be controlled and monitored just like the lifeless technological drones and AI being promoted.
But do not worry – you will be property-less and happy in your open prison of mass unemployment, state dependency, track and chip health passports, cashlessness, mass vaccination, and dehumanization.

So much was seemingly riding on the election. But to me, even though it's still officially in dispute, it's ALREADY decided. The unresolution is the resolution.

And there is a strong resurgence of sovereignty happening at the same time.
No officially elected President yet? It's clear, YOU are the President Now!
Liberty versus Lockdown
I always felt this election was not specifically one about politics, it's been taking place in the energetic dynamic of Liberty versus Lockdown. You have an Opposing Consciousness in the field, which is using the guise of the plandemonium to progressively curtail civil liberties and freedoms, applying mass media to persuade us the future is already decided, already marshaled, when it clearly isn't. See the surface shenanigans as a reflection of what's happening underneath.
Instead of being bedazzled by the drama, notice instead the extraordinary opportunity. Was not society already embedded with this control hiding within the shadows, mercilessly pulling the strings of power for its own selfish ends? Has it not ALWAYS been so? Of course it has. The only difference now, and thankfully so, to those who are prepared to see, it is clearly visible.
It would seem there is evidence of vote tampering (only the courts can decide that one). Again though, we don't have to wait to make a decision. Wasn't the vote ALWAYS rigged? Wasn't it ALWAYS designed to deprive you of power? Of course so. You might have the illusion of democracy, yet the 1% get ever enriched and the 99% ever impoverished.
How to Follow Your Path of Light through the Accelerating 5D Shift
A Resurgence of Sovereignty
Look deeper now, through the drama and how they would project is playing out. And see the tremendous resurgence of sovereignty that's happening in cities around the world, exactly BECAUSE of the ridiculous plandemonium, which by now, has all but lost any kind of credibility.
Personally I don't need evidence. I can FEEL the election was rigged. But it's ALWAYS been rigged – one way or the other; this way or that, to keep you disempowered, in the illusionary hope that someone will “fix it”. There's a frustration building in the field at that. One that's been misdirected into distraction and idle entertainment by the mega tech corporations who are fuelling this mass hypnosis. It may appear to be working. But I see and feel something else. I do believe this shenanigens of a vote will prove the final straw that breaks the donkey's back.

And the fact that we've been deprived of a meaningful and respectful outcome is exactly the outcome we needed. Stop believing. Stop the mindless acceptance that somehow there's a system that has your best interests at heart. IT DOESN'T! It's all a charade, this way or that, designed purposefully to distract and control. It's time to let go now. Time to liberate yourself from that. Time to settle into the true seat of your power.
Reclaiming Your Sovereign Power under the Universal Law of “God”
The Power of Perception
As I reflected over the weekend on the non-outcome, I could feel a wave of freedom washing over me, a wave of release. I was feeling the wider field moving even before it is manifest on the surface. It's like when the blind man has first lost his sight, but then realized the heightened power of his other senses. We can't trust in the ‘leadership' anymore, as if we really could. The trust has evaporated. Where does that leave us? We must believe in ourselves, in our own sovereignty, in our own power of perception.
I can feel it. A wave of alchemical rebellion building in the field. The election was timed just as plenty of European countries (such as here in the UK) were going back into lockdown. But what you won't yet see in the media, is the wave of growing rebellion against it. I'm seeing people in cities across the UK emboldened by the Common Law, challenging the (so called) authorities. We've lost trust in the state – fortunately! And with that, the masses are beginning to lose their blind faith in the system.
So let's NOT wait for the election to be officially decided. Decide on yourself right now. Let go of the external outcome. Pick up the wave of your soul and ride it. In any given moment let the sovereignty and freedom of soulful alchemy shape and decide your pathway for you. Let your every breath and step become an act of rebellion against anything that would lock your consciousness down.
The vote has been decided – YOU are the President now!

consciouslifenews--2020-11-12--How COVID-19 Vaccine Can Destroy Your Immune System

There ’ s evidence showing the elderly — who are most vulnerable to severe COVID-19 and would need the vaccine the most — are also the most vulnerable to ADE and Th2 immunopathology Lethal Th2 immunopathology is another potential risk .
A faulty T cell response can trigger allergic inflammation , and poorly functional antibodies that form immune complexes can activate the complement system , resulting in airway damage ADE means that rather than enhance your immunity against the infection , the vaccine actually enhances the virus ’ ability to enter and infect your cells , resulting in more severe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Previous coronavirus vaccine efforts — including those for SARS , MERS , and RSV — have revealed a serious concern : The vaccines have a tendency to trigger antibody-dependent enhancement ( ADE ) According to a study that examined how informed consent is given to COVID-19 vaccine trial participants , disclosure forms fail to inform volunteers that the vaccine might make them susceptible to more severe disease if they ’ re exposed to the virus According to a study that examined how informed consent is given to COVID-19 vaccine trial participants , disclosure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine might make them susceptible to more severe disease if they ’ re exposed to the virus .
The study,1 “ Informed Consent Disclosure to Vaccine Trial Subjects of Risk of COVID-19 Vaccine Worsening Clinical Disease , ” published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice , October 28 , 2020 , points out that “ COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralizing antibodies may sensitize vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated.
” As noted by the authors of that International Journal of Clinical Practice paper , previous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ respiratory syndrome coronavirus ( SARS-CoV ) , Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus ( MERS-CoV ) , and respiratory syncytial virus ( RSV ) — have revealed a serious concern : The vaccines have a tendency to trigger antibody-dependent enhancement .
What exactly does that mean ?
In a nutshell , it means that rather than enhance your immunity against the infection , the vaccine actually enhances the virus 's ability to enter and infect your cells , resulting in more severe disease than had you not been vaccinated.2 This is the exact opposite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do , and a significant problem that has been pointed out from the very beginning of this push for a COVID-19 vaccine .
The 2003 review paper “ Antibody-Dependent Enhancement of Virus Infection and Disease ” explains it this way:3 In my May 2020 interview above with Robert Kennedy Jr. , he summarized the history of coronavirus vaccine development , which began in 2002 , following three consecutive SARS outbreaks .
By 2012 , Chinese , American and European scientists were working on SARS vaccine development and had about 30 promising candidates .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ candidates were then given to ferrets , which are the closest analog to human lung infections .
In the video below , which is a select outtake from my full interview , Kennedy explains what happened next .
While the ferrets displayed robust antibody response , which is the metric used for vaccine licensing , once they were challenged with the wild virus , they all became severely ill and died .
The same thing happened when they tried to develop an RSV vaccine in the 1960s .
RSV is an upper respiratory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caused by coronaviruses .
At that time , they had decided to skip animal trials and go directly to human trials .
Coronaviruses produce not just one but two different types of antibodies : • Neutralizing antibodies , also referred to as immunoglobulin G ( IgG ) antibodies , that fight the infection • Binding antibodies ( also known as non-neutralizing antibodies ) that can not prevent viral infection Instead of preventing viral infection , binding antibodies trigger an abnormal immune response known as “ paradoxical immune enhancement.
” Another way to look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually backfiring and not functioning to protect you but actually making you worse .
Many of the COVID-19 vaccines currently in the running are using mRNA to instruct your cells to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein ( S protein ) .
The spike protein , which is what attaches to the ACE2 receptor of the cell , is the first stage of the two-stage process viruses use to gain entry into cells .
The idea is that by creating the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein , your immune system will commence the production of antibodies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ process .
The key question is , which of the two types of antibodies are being produced through this process ?
In an April 2020 Twitter thread,6 The Immunologist noted : “ While developing vaccines … and considering immunity passports , we must first understand the complex role of antibodies in SARS , MERS , and COVID-19.
” He goes on to list several coronavirus vaccine studies that have raised concerns about ADE .
The first is a 2017 study7 in PLOS Pathogens , ” Enhanced Inflammation in New Zealand White Rabbits When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Neutralizing Antibody , ” which investigated whether getting infected with MERS would protect the subject against reinfection , as is typically the case with many viral illnesses .
( Meaning , once you recover from a viral infection , say measles , you ’ re immune and won ’ t contract the illness again . )
To determine how MERS affects the immune system , the researchers infected white rabbits with the virus .
The rabbits got sick and developed antibodies , but those antibodies were not the neutralizing kind , meaning the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As a result , they were not protected from reinfection , and when exposed to MERS for a second time , they became ill again , and more severely so .
“ In fact , reinfection resulted in enhanced pulmonary inflammation , without an associated increase in viral RNA titers , ” the authors noted .
Interestingly , neutralizing antibodies were elicited during this second infection , preventing the animals from being infected a third time .
According to the authors : In other words , if the vaccine does not result in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you might be at risk for more severe lung disease if you ’ re infected with the virus .
And here ’ s an important point : COVID-19 vaccines are NOT designed to prevent infection .
As detailed in “ How COVID-19 Vaccine Trials Are Rigged , ” a “ successful ” vaccine merely needs to reduce the severity of the symptoms .
They ’ re not even looking at reducing infection , hospitalization or death rates .
The Dengue virus is also known to cause ADE .
As explained in a Swiss @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The paper goes on to detail results from follow-up investigations into the Dengue vaccine , which revealed the hospitalization rate for Dengue among vaccinated children under the age of 9 was greater than the rate among controls .
The explanation for this appears to be that the vaccine mimicked a primary infection , and as that immunity waned , the children became susceptible to ADE when they encountered the virus a second time .
The author explains : This could end up being important for the COVID-19 vaccine .
Hypothetically speaking , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also caused by an RNA virus , then anyone who has not tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 might actually be at increased risk for severe COVID-19 after vaccination , and only those who have already recovered from a bout of COVID-19 would be protected against severe illness by the vaccine .
To be clear , we do not know whether that is the case or not , but these are important areas of inquiry and the current vaccine trials will simply not be able to answer this important question .
The Swiss Medical Weekly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in coronavirus infections , citing research showing inoculating cats against the feline infectious peritonitis virus ( FIPV ) — a feline coronavirus — increases the severity of the disease when challenged with the same FIPV serotype as that in the vaccine .
The paper also cites research showing “ Antibodies elicited by a SARS-CoV vaccine enhanced infection of B cell lines in spite of protective responses in the hamster model.
” Another paper,10 “ Antibody-Dependent SARS Coronavirus Infection Is Mediated by Antibodies Against Spike Proteins , ” published in 2014 , found that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was published in the journal JCI Insight in 2019 .
Here , macaques vaccinated with a modified vaccinia Ankara ( MVA ) virus encoding full-length SARS-CoV spike protein ended up with more severe lung pathology when the animals were exposed to the SARS virus .
And , when they transferred anti-spike IgG antibodies into unvaccinated macaques , they developed acute diffuse alveolar damage , likely by “ skewing the inflammation-resolving response.
” An interesting 2012 paper12 with the telling title , “ Immunization with SARS Coronavirus Vaccines Leads to Pulmonary Immunopathology on Challenge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what many researchers now fear , namely that COVID-19 vaccines may end up making people more prone to severe SARS-CoV-2 infection .
The paper reviews experiments showing immunization with a variety of SARS vaccines resulted in pulmonary immunopathology once challenged with the SARS virus .
As noted by the authors:13 The Elderly Are Most Vulnerable to ADE On top of all of these concerns , there ’ s evidence showing the elderly — who are most vulnerable to severe COVID-19 — are also the most vulnerable to ADE .
Preliminary research findings14 posted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end of March 2020 reported that middle-aged and elderly COVID-19 patients have far higher levels of anti-spike antibodies — which , again , increase infectivity — than younger patients .
Another paper worth mentioning is the May 2020 mini review15 “ Impact of Immune Enhancement on COVID-19 Polyclonal Hyperimmune Globulin Therapy and Vaccine Development.
” As in many other papers , the authors point out that:16 Do a Risk-Benefit Analysis Before Making Up Your Mind In all likelihood , regardless of how effective ( or ineffective ) the COVID-19 vaccines end up being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the public in relatively short order .
Most predict one or more vaccines will be ready sometime in 2021 .
Ironically , the data17,18,19 we now have no longer support a mass vaccination mandate , considering the lethality of COVID-19 is lower than the flu for those under the age of 60.20 If you ’ re under the age of 40 , your risk of dying from COVID-19 is just 0.01 % , meaning you have a 99.99 % chance of surviving the infection .
And you could improve that to 99.999 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vitamin D replete .
So , really , what are we protecting against with a COVID-19 vaccine ?
As mentioned , the vaccines aren ’ t even designed to prevent infection , only reduce the severity of symptoms .
Meanwhile , they could potentially make you sicker once you ’ re exposed to the virus .
That seems like a lot of risk for a truly questionable benefit .
To circle back to where we started , participants in current COVID-19 vaccine trials are not being told of this risk — that by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with more severe COVID-19 once they ’ re infected with the virus .
In closing , consider what this PNAS news feature states about the risk of vaccine-induced immune enhancement and dysfunction , particularly for the elderly , the very people who would need the protection a vaccine might offer the most:21

By Dr. Joseph Mercola | mercola.com
There’s evidence showing the elderly — who are most vulnerable to severe COVID-19 and would need the vaccine the most — are also the most vulnerable to ADE and Th2 immunopathology
Lethal Th2 immunopathology is another potential risk. A faulty T cell response can trigger allergic inflammation, and poorly functional antibodies that form immune complexes can activate the complement system, resulting in airway damage
ADE means that rather than enhance your immunity against the infection, the vaccine actually enhances the virus’ ability to enter and infect your cells, resulting in more severe disease than had you not been vaccinated
Previous coronavirus vaccine efforts — including those for SARS, MERS, and RSV — have revealed a serious concern: The vaccines have a tendency to trigger antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE)
According to a study that examined how informed consent is given to COVID-19 vaccine trial participants, disclosure forms fail to inform volunteers that the vaccine might make them susceptible to more severe disease if they’re exposed to the virus
According to a study that examined how informed consent is given to COVID-19 vaccine trial participants, disclosure forms fail to inform volunteers that the vaccine might make them susceptible to more severe disease if they’re exposed to the virus.
The study,1 “Informed Consent Disclosure to Vaccine Trial Subjects of Risk of COVID-19 Vaccine Worsening Clinical Disease,” published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice, October 28, 2020, points out that “COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralizing antibodies may sensitize vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated.”
“Vaccines for SARS, MERS and RSV have never been approved, and the data generated in the development and testing of these vaccines suggest a serious mechanistic concern: that vaccines designed empirically using the traditional approach (consisting of the unmodified or minimally modified coronavirus viral spike to elicit neutralizing antibodies), be they composed of protein, viral vector, DNA or RNA and irrespective of delivery method, may worsen COVID-19 disease via antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE),” the paper states.
“This risk is sufficiently obscured in clinical trial protocols and consent forms for ongoing COVID-19 vaccine trials that adequate patient comprehension of this risk is unlikely to occur, obviating truly informed consent by subjects in these trials.
The specific and significant COVID-19 risk of ADE should have been and should be prominently and independently disclosed to research subjects currently in vaccine trials, as well as those being recruited for the trials and future patients after vaccine approval, in order to meet the medical ethics standard of patient comprehension for informed consent.”
What Is Antibody-Dependent Enhancement?
As noted by the authors of that International Journal of Clinical Practice paper, previous coronavirus vaccine efforts — for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) — have revealed a serious concern: The vaccines have a tendency to trigger antibody-dependent enhancement.
What exactly does that mean? In a nutshell, it means that rather than enhance your immunity against the infection, the vaccine actually enhances the virus's ability to enter and infect your cells, resulting in more severe disease than had you not been vaccinated.2
This is the exact opposite of what a vaccine is supposed to do, and a significant problem that has been pointed out from the very beginning of this push for a COVID-19 vaccine. The 2003 review paper “Antibody-Dependent Enhancement of Virus Infection and Disease” explains it this way:3
“In general, virus-specific antibodies are considered antiviral and play an important role in the control of virus infections in a number of ways. However, in some instances, the presence of specific antibodies can be beneficial to the virus. This activity is known as antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of virus infection.
The ADE of virus infection is a phenomenon in which virus-specific antibodies enhance the entry of virus, and in some cases the replication of virus, into monocytes/macrophages and granulocytic cells through interaction with Fc and/or complement receptors.
This phenomenon has been reported in vitro and in vivo for viruses representing numerous families and genera of public health and veterinary importance. These viruses share some common features such as preferential replication in macrophages, ability to establish persistence, and antigenic diversity. For some viruses, ADE of infection has become a great concern to disease control by vaccination.”
Previous Coronavirus Vaccine Efforts Have All Failed
In my May 2020 interview above with Robert Kennedy Jr., he summarized the history of coronavirus vaccine development, which began in 2002, following three consecutive SARS outbreaks. By 2012, Chinese, American and European scientists were working on SARS vaccine development and had about 30 promising candidates.
Of those, the four best vaccine candidates were then given to ferrets, which are the closest analog to human lung infections. In the video below, which is a select outtake from my full interview, Kennedy explains what happened next. While the ferrets displayed robust antibody response, which is the metric used for vaccine licensing, once they were challenged with the wild virus, they all became severely ill and died.
The same thing happened when they tried to develop an RSV vaccine in the 1960s. RSV is an upper respiratory illness that is very similar to that caused by coronaviruses. At that time, they had decided to skip animal trials and go directly to human trials.
“They tested it on I think about 35 children, and the same thing happened,” Kennedy said. “The children developed a champion antibody response — robust, durable. It looked perfect [but when] the children were exposed to the wild virus, they all became sick. Two of them died. They abandoned the vaccine. It was a big embarrassment to FDA and NIH.”
Neutralizing Versus Binding Antibodies
Coronaviruses produce not just one but two different types of antibodies:
Neutralizing antibodies, 4 also referred to as immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, that fight the infection
also referred to as immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, that fight the infection Binding antibodies 5 (also known as non-neutralizing antibodies) that cannot prevent viral infection
Instead of preventing viral infection, binding antibodies trigger an abnormal immune response known as “paradoxical immune enhancement.” Another way to look at this is your immune system is actually backfiring and not functioning to protect you but actually making you worse.
Many of the COVID-19 vaccines currently in the running are using mRNA to instruct your cells to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S protein). The spike protein, which is what attaches to the ACE2 receptor of the cell, is the first stage of the two-stage process viruses use to gain entry into cells.
The idea is that by creating the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, your immune system will commence the production of antibodies, without making you sick in the process. The key question is, which of the two types of antibodies are being produced through this process?
Without Neutralizing Antibodies, Expect More Severe Illness
In an April 2020 Twitter thread,6 The Immunologist noted: “While developing vaccines … and considering immunity passports, we must first understand the complex role of antibodies in SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.” He goes on to list several coronavirus vaccine studies that have raised concerns about ADE.
The first is a 2017 study7 in PLOS Pathogens, ”Enhanced Inflammation in New Zealand White Rabbits When MERS-CoV Reinfection Occurs in the Absence of Neutralizing Antibody,” which investigated whether getting infected with MERS would protect the subject against reinfection, as is typically the case with many viral illnesses. (Meaning, once you recover from a viral infection, say measles, you’re immune and won’t contract the illness again.)
To determine how MERS affects the immune system, the researchers infected white rabbits with the virus. The rabbits got sick and developed antibodies, but those antibodies were not the neutralizing kind, meaning the kind of antibodies that block infection. As a result, they were not protected from reinfection, and when exposed to MERS for a second time, they became ill again, and more severely so.
“In fact, reinfection resulted in enhanced pulmonary inflammation, without an associated increase in viral RNA titers,” the authors noted. Interestingly, neutralizing antibodies were elicited during this second infection, preventing the animals from being infected a third time. According to the authors:
“Our data from the rabbit model suggests that people exposed to MERS-CoV who fail to develop a neutralizing antibody response, or persons whose neutralizing antibody titers have waned, may be at risk for severe lung disease on re-exposure to MERS-CoV.”
In other words, if the vaccine does not result in a robust response in neutralizing antibodies, you might be at risk for more severe lung disease if you’re infected with the virus.
And here’s an important point: COVID-19 vaccines are NOT designed to prevent infection. As detailed in “How COVID-19 Vaccine Trials Are Rigged,” a “successful” vaccine merely needs to reduce the severity of the symptoms. They’re not even looking at reducing infection, hospitalization or death rates.
ADE in Dengue Infections
The Dengue virus is also known to cause ADE. As explained in a Swiss Medical Weekly paper published in April 2020:8
“The pathogenesis of COVID-19 is currently believed to proceed via both directly cytotoxic and immune-mediated mechanisms. An additional mechanism facilitating viral cell entry and subsequent damage may involve the so-called antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE).
ADE is a very well-known cascade of events whereby viruses may infect susceptible cells via interaction between virions complexed with antibodies or complement components and, respectively, Fc or complement receptors, leading to the amplification of their replication.
This phenomenon is of enormous relevance not only for the understanding of viral pathogenesis, but also for developing antiviral strategies, notably vaccines …
There are four serotypes of Dengue virus, all eliciting protective immunity. However, although homotypic protection is long-lasting, cross-neutralizing antibodies against different serotypes are short-lived and may last only up to 2 years.
In Dengue fever, reinfection with a different serotype runs a more severe course when the protective antibody titer wanes. Here, non-neutralizing antibodies take over neutralizing ones, bind to Dengue virions, and these complexes mediate the infection of phagocytic cells via interaction with the Fc receptor, in a typical ADE.
In other words, heterotypic antibodies at subneutralizing titres account for ADE in persons infected with a serotype of Dengue virus that is different from the first infection.
Cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies are associated with decreased odds of symptomatic secondary infection, and the higher the titer of such antibodies following the primary infection, the longer the delay to symptomatic secondary infection …”
The paper goes on to detail results from follow-up investigations into the Dengue vaccine, which revealed the hospitalization rate for Dengue among vaccinated children under the age of 9 was greater than the rate among controls. The explanation for this appears to be that the vaccine mimicked a primary infection, and as that immunity waned, the children became susceptible to ADE when they encountered the virus a second time. The author explains:
“A post hoc analysis of efficacy trials, using an anti-nonstructural protein 1 immunoglobulin G (IgG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to distinguish antibodies elicited by wild-type infection from those following vaccination, showed that the vaccine was able to protect against severe Dengue [in] those who had been exposed to the natural infection before vaccination, and that the risk of severe clinical outcome was increased among seronegative persons.
Based on this, a Strategic Advisor Group of Experts convened by World Health Organization (WHO) concluded that only Dengue seropositive persons should be vaccinated whenever Dengue control programs are planned that include vaccination.”
ADE in Coronavirus Infections
This could end up being important for the COVID-19 vaccine. Hypothetically speaking, if SARS-CoV-2 works like Dengue, which is also caused by an RNA virus, then anyone who has not tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 might actually be at increased risk for severe COVID-19 after vaccination, and only those who have already recovered from a bout of COVID-19 would be protected against severe illness by the vaccine.
To be clear, we do not know whether that is the case or not, but these are important areas of inquiry and the current vaccine trials will simply not be able to answer this important question.
The Swiss Medical Weekly paper9 also reviews the evidence of ADE in coronavirus infections, citing research showing inoculating cats against the feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) — a feline coronavirus — increases the severity of the disease when challenged with the same FIPV serotype as that in the vaccine.
Experiments have shown immunization with a variety of SARS vaccines resulted in pulmonary immunopathology once challenged with the SARS virus.
The paper also cites research showing “Antibodies elicited by a SARS-CoV vaccine enhanced infection of B cell lines in spite of protective responses in the hamster model.” Another paper,10 “Antibody-Dependent SARS Coronavirus Infection Is Mediated by Antibodies Against Spike Proteins,” published in 2014, found that:
“… higher concentrations of anti-sera against SARS-CoV neutralized SARS-CoV infection, while highly diluted anti-sera significantly increased SARS-CoV infection and induced higher levels of apoptosis.
Results from infectivity assays indicate that SARS-CoV ADE is primarily mediated by diluted antibodies against envelope spike proteins rather than nucleocapsid proteins. We also generated monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV spike proteins and observed that most of them promoted SARS-CoV infection.
Combined, our results suggest that antibodies against SARS-CoV spike proteins may trigger ADE effects. The data raise new questions regarding a potential SARS-CoV vaccine …”
A study11 that ties into this was published in the journal JCI Insight in 2019. Here, macaques vaccinated with a modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) virus encoding full-length SARS-CoV spike protein ended up with more severe lung pathology when the animals were exposed to the SARS virus. And, when they transferred anti-spike IgG antibodies into unvaccinated macaques, they developed acute diffuse alveolar damage, likely by “skewing the inflammation-resolving response.”
SARS Vaccine Worsens Infection After Challenge With SARS-CoV
An interesting 2012 paper12 with the telling title, “Immunization with SARS Coronavirus Vaccines Leads to Pulmonary Immunopathology on Challenge with the SARS Virus,” demonstrates what many researchers now fear, namely that COVID-19 vaccines may end up making people more prone to severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The paper reviews experiments showing immunization with a variety of SARS vaccines resulted in pulmonary immunopathology once challenged with the SARS virus. As noted by the authors:13
“Inactivated whole virus vaccines whether inactivated with formalin or beta propiolactone and whether given with our without alum adjuvant exhibited a Th2-type immunopathologic in lungs after challenge.
As indicated, two reports attributed the immunopathology to presence of the N protein in the vaccine; however, we found the same immunopathologic reaction in animals given S protein vaccine only, although it appeared to be of lesser intensity.
Thus, a Th2-type immunopathologic reaction on challenge of vaccinated animals has occurred in three of four animal models (not in hamsters) including two different inbred mouse strains with four different types of SARS-CoV vaccines with and without alum adjuvant. An inactivated vaccine preparation that does not induce this result in mice, ferrets and nonhuman primates has not been reported.
This combined experience provides concern for trials with SARS-CoV vaccines in humans. Clinical trials with SARS coronavirus vaccines have been conducted and reported to induce antibody responses and to be ‘safe.’ However, the evidence for safety is for a short period of observation.
The concern arising from the present report is for an immunopathologic reaction occurring among vaccinated individuals on exposure to infectious SARS-CoV, the basis for developing a vaccine for SARS. Additional safety concerns relate to effectiveness and safety against antigenic variants of SARS-CoV and for safety of vaccinated persons exposed to other coronaviruses, particularly those of the type 2 group.”
The Elderly Are Most Vulnerable to ADE
On top of all of these concerns, there’s evidence showing the elderly — who are most vulnerable to severe COVID-19 — are also the most vulnerable to ADE. Preliminary research findings14 posted on the preprint server medRxiv at the end of March 2020 reported that middle-aged and elderly COVID-19 patients have far higher levels of anti-spike antibodies — which, again, increase infectivity — than younger patients.
Immune Enhancement Is a Serious Concern
Another paper worth mentioning is the May 2020 mini review15 “Impact of Immune Enhancement on COVID-19 Polyclonal Hyperimmune Globulin Therapy and Vaccine Development.” As in many other papers, the authors point out that:16
“While development of both hyperimmune globulin therapy and vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 are promising, they both pose a common theoretical safety concern. Experimental studies have suggested the possibility of immune-enhanced disease of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV infections, which may thus similarly occur with SARS-CoV-2 infection …
Immune enhancement of disease can theoretically occur in two ways. Firstly, non-neutralizing or sub-neutralizing levels of antibodies can enhance SARS-CoV-2 infection into target cells.
Secondly, antibodies could enhance inflammation and hence severity of pulmonary disease. An overview of these antibody dependent infection and immunopathology enhancement effects are summarized in Fig. 1 …
Currently, there are multiple SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV vaccine candidates in pre-clinical or early phase clinical trials. Animal studies on these CoVs have shown that the spike (S) protein-based vaccines (specifically the receptor binding domain, RBD) are highly immunogenic and protective against wild-type CoV challenge.
Vaccines that target other parts of the virus, such as the nucleocapsid, without the S protein, have shown no protection against CoV infection and increased lung pathology. However, immunization with some S protein based CoV vaccines have also displayed signs of enhanced lung pathology following challenge.
Hence, besides the choice of antigen target, vaccine efficacy and risk of immunopathology may be dependent on other ancillary factors, including adjuvant formulation, age at vaccination … and route of immunization.”
Do a Risk-Benefit Analysis Before Making Up Your Mind
In all likelihood, regardless of how effective (or ineffective) the COVID-19 vaccines end up being, they’ll be released to the public in relatively short order. Most predict one or more vaccines will be ready sometime in 2021.
Ironically, the data17,18,19 we now have no longer support a mass vaccination mandate, considering the lethality of COVID-19 is lower than the flu for those under the age of 60.20 If you’re under the age of 40, your risk of dying from COVID-19 is just 0.01%, meaning you have a 99.99% chance of surviving the infection. And you could improve that to 99.999% if you’re metabolically flexible and vitamin D replete.
So, really, what are we protecting against with a COVID-19 vaccine? As mentioned, the vaccines aren’t even designed to prevent infection, only reduce the severity of symptoms. Meanwhile, they could potentially make you sicker once you’re exposed to the virus. That seems like a lot of risk for a truly questionable benefit.
To circle back to where we started, participants in current COVID-19 vaccine trials are not being told of this risk — that by getting the vaccine they may end up with more severe COVID-19 once they’re infected with the virus.
Lethal Th2 Immunopathology Is Another Potential Risk
In closing, consider what this PNAS news feature states about the risk of vaccine-induced immune enhancement and dysfunction, particularly for the elderly, the very people who would need the protection a vaccine might offer the most:21
“Since the 1960s, tests of vaccine candidates for diseases such as dengue, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) have shown a paradoxical phenomenon:
Some animals or people who received the vaccine and were later exposed to the virus developed more severe disease than those who had not been vaccinated. The vaccine-primed immune system, in certain cases, seemed to launch a shoddy response to the natural infection …
This immune backfiring, or so-called immune enhancement, may manifest in different ways such as antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), a process in which a virus leverages antibodies to aid infection; or cell-based enhancement, a category that includes allergic inflammation caused by Th2 immunopathology. In some cases, the enhancement processes might overlap …
Some researchers argue that although ADE has received the most attention to date, it is less likely than the other immune enhancement pathways to cause a dysregulated response to COVID-19, given what is known about the epidemiology of the virus and its behavior in the human body.
‘There is the potential for ADE, but the bigger problem is probably Th2 immunopathology,’ says Ralph Baric, an epidemiologist and expert in coronaviruses … at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Many belief systems share their own interpretations about Judgement. In both Christianity and Catholicism, Divine Judgment can be defined as a person’s destiny being determined by their life’s faults and accomplishments. Likewise, Buddhism can coincide with this interpretation under the guise of Karma.
Overall, Divine Judgement dictates a person to take responsibility for their actions; however, it can be easier said than done. Accepting the consequences for our mistakes can be intimidating, especially because we fear the stress and pain that it may bring us. However, contrary to belief, taking accountability can offer more advantages, both socially and spiritually, than they do challenges.
The Social Benefits
When a person takes accountability for their actions, they are more likely to forge healthier relationships. For example, according to a 2005 research study, children who were held accountable for their actions were better able to develop positive social interaction skills, than those who did the opposite.
Moreover, taking accountability can also benefit a person within the workplace environment. In this context, accountability can help build trust between teams and coworkers. Leaders who are held accountable are better preferred because their coworkers can trust their intentions and work ethic.
The Spiritual Benefits
On the other side of the conversation, taking accountability can also offer spiritual insight. In the Bible’s explanation of what is the day of the Lord, taking accountability begins by repenting from one’s sins. As a process, repentance shouldn’t be perceived as a punishment, but rather a blessing. Being able to acknowledge one’s mistakes is a fundamental step to cleansing oneself from one’s pride and ignorance and towards humility.
Taking accountability can teach one to become more mindful of their thoughts and actions. Buddhism dictates desire and ignorance lie at the root of human suffering; by being mindful of one’s negative impulses, their faults and errors, one is one step closer to weighing the scale of Divine Judgement in their favor.
