Pondering Causality,
Does a failed-narrative fail without a helpful push? Just askin'...
The control-narrative promulgated in our world is something like "COVID will kill worthy-vaccinated and unworthy-doubters unless everybody gets vaccinated frequently forever and locks down whenever we say it's necessary".
This is different from the original advertising "Vaccines Save!", of course.
This narrative has no limit to how harsh it can become, when a critical mass of people comply with it, no limit at all. See "HISTORY", please.
We have some interesting tribal characteristics, which don't always get studied, and which are different in nature from our individual characteristics, which get studied a lot, all the time. Carl Jung and Hannah Arendt did have the full-immersion opportunity to study Mass-Psychosis, which is also called "Mass Formation" in the case of a scared and anxious group of people being made to focus all of their fears and anxieties upon one specified threat, and one way to fight that threat, in order to prevail and survive.
Mass Psychosis is well explained in this 20 minute illustrated video, which I have posted before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09maaUaRT4M
Survival of a human group primarily depends upon the group working together in concert, which is a thing we do well. It seems that we do even better when we correctly understand the problem, and work together with a rational plan to overcome the adversity, but that seems to be optional for group cohesion.
The predominant form of "reality testing" employed by humans is to ask those around you what they think. That seems to illustrate that group cohesion is a more important trait to inherit than brilliant intellectual analysis.
Brilliant analysis, or even a pretty good assessment of facts and mechanisms at play, give a tremendous advantage to a cohesive group, working from that template, over a cohesive group working with "bad facts".
Our "owners" usually have "better facts", information-asymmetry, because they can hire good analysts. When the interests of the owners and the common people diverge greatly, the condition of "Class War" arises. Class War recurs in our history, but the winners write history, so it is often presented in a way which just makes it look weird and mysterious.
"Why did people do that back then? They were crazy back then."
The difficulty for the "owners", the ruling elites, is that they have to get "half of the people to kill the other half of the people" in order to maintain their position of control. This is always horribly bad for both halves of the people, but it is repeatedly accomplished through "Mass Formation".
It goes bad for the elites a lot of the time, too. They are quite happy to stab each other in the backs, whenever they can safely do so. Many times, when there is "blood in the streets", a group of elites will lose command of the dominant narrative.
The current dominant narrative is really weak, and has faded from being merely incorrect, to clearly the opposite, in terms of facts.
mRNA vaccines, in particular, had a lot of deaths and side effects, which were glossed over, because they "saved lives" (more often than not, for 2-3 months or so), but it appears that they actually drive coronavirus infections and hospitalizations higher after 6 months, and they seem to about double the "excess deaths" in a cohort which receives them.
I have been covering those trends, and they are well covered here at The Automatic Earth, "It's Time To Dump Pfizer". https://www.theautomaticearth.com/2021/11/its-time-to-dump-pfizer/
Dominant narratives are easier to break at some times than at others.
I keep coming back to "We Are Winning The War In Vietnam", which was the instructive narrative failure of my childhood and teen years.
Dad was over there for a year, a US Marine, and we lived on bases and in military towns, for the most part. I was a kid who paid attention and thought for himself ("problem child"). The Tet Offensive of early 1968 really rubbed people's faces in the ugliness of not-winning.
Walter Cronkite broke ranks and began gently considering that body count "winning" might never lead to "victory" as we had thought of it in WW-1 and WW-2.
The TV news anchors cannot do that again, but the internet has not yet been fully brought under control at the small-blog and email level.
What is organically coalescing is a more factual narrative among those who reject the dominant narrative. there are 2 levels.
The more accessible level is that crony-capitalist corruption has led to the situation where Pfizer got a lead, kept the lead by getting captured government regulators to suppress any solution other than "vaccines", and this has continued, even as "vaccines" are now seen to become counterproductive to survival after 6 months of time.
The second level, which is not very inconsistent, posits that this is at least partially intentional, if not originally, then as an adaptation to the lab leak spreading a weaponized viral pathogen uncontrollably in our highly connected world.
We are not starving. We are not in as bad an economy as we were in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I think that's about to happen, and for some similar reasons. Faith-based-money has been debauched, and the default is under way, as Nixon had to default on the gold standard when the Vietnam War drained America's vast treasure chest. America reached peak oil that same year of 1971. Consequences were felt for a dozen years after that. Now, the global finance markets and all national currencies are debauched, and the whole world has been wringing out more oil from expensive reserves, paid for with faith-based "investment" money.
We can again expect a failure of currency and a big increase in the price of oil, but globally, not just nationally. Global elites see this, appear to have gotten sold a narrative plot at Event 201 in October 2019, and are trying to stick with it.
I think the "Vaccines Save, Do As We Say" narrative is already failing in some places. It's a Swiss Cheese. It's hard for me to judge, because I don't get all of the actual facts about things.
The elites really don't have clear information either, not right now. They are sheltered from bad news from the information battlefields. We who are firm and resolute with the more factual narrative are not losing ground. They are also widely separated in the world, and need to look to their personal and regional and national survival first. They know not to trust each other, but not to open themselves to attack by an intact alliance of other elites. That can collapse fast.
We can't see how many of us there are, but we can see the "better facts" and firmness of resolution within our smaller groups of socialization. We need to prevail in this narrative contest. This is our historical window of opportunity. Yes, for winning we will get a period like the decade from 1973 to 1983, likely worse, since energy-based industrial economy will be in terminal decline. We will have to reconsider every single aspect of how we spend our time and energy. We will need to do this cooperatively and adaptively. When we get together on this realistic narrative track, we should be able to start solving the real problems in our real lives, and not killing each other for the failing paradigm of the parasitic and wasteful elite owners.
They should learn to ride bikes and grow vegetables, too. It will be good for them.
Look for every opportunity to demonstrate the truth and to demonstrate the ridiculousness of narrative falsehoods, Brothers and Sisters!
"Joe Biden":
“I expect the new normal to be, everyone ends up getting vaccinated and the booster shot, so we reduce the number of people who aren’t protected to such a low degree that we’re not seeing the spread of these viruses,” he told reporters. [Not how these "vaccines" work, is it?]People who are fully vaccinated “can celebrate the holidays much more safely than where we were last year,” Biden said, adding
“That’s a blessing none of us should take for granted.”
He also urged Americans to “wear your masks when you’re indoors in public settings around other people to protect you, to protect those around you.”

Thanks for this, Dennis:
And another federal court rules against another Biden vaccine mandate - this time for health-care workers “Plaintiffs are likely to succeed in establishing that the CMS vaccine mandate is arbitrary and capricious.”
We are prone to think of any word as a "thing". Our minds find that convenient. Some "things" are actually complex and changing internally. We should think of them differently than a brick. The Pfizer mRNA vaccines are like that. Look at the graph and analysis of Pfizer vaccine batches.
Pfizer Systematic Deployment in the USA, Craig Paardekooper
If the separate companies were deploying high toxicity batches systematically, then the patterns of deployment could be confused and clouded by mixing data for all of the companies. - So, instead of combining all of the VAERS data for Moderna, and for Pfizer, I decided to separate them out. - Here is the complete output for Pfizer only - showing adverse reactions for each sequential batch. - Pfizer deployed about 9500 batches to the USA...
If the production of toxic batches was an accident, we would expect their temporal appearance to be random and more scattered. The production of large numbers of toxic batches in close temporal proximity to one another shows that such "accidents" are repeated dozens of times, sequentially ! -
In addition to this, these clusters of toxic batches are separated by clear periods of harmless batches - then the sudden appearance of another cluster. -
The toxic batches are also clustered into a narrow range of toxicity, rather than having a random spread of toxicity - which is odd if these batches were accidents. - Finally, the toxicity of these clusters decreases in steps, linearly over time - again, not what we would expect from the accidental production of toxic batches. - These batches may be Hot Lots by design.
Steve Kirsch:
45% of deaths after COVID vaccination happen in the first 2 weeks
It's 59% at 4 weeks and 63% at 5 weeks.

Austria, not Australia:
People repeatedly snubbing Covid-19 vaccination summons in Austria after immunization becomes compulsory there might face fines of up to $8,100 or several weeks behind bars, according to a draft that was leaked to the media.

There were 2 variables at play here, which is not good study design. The vitamin-D treatment group also had comorbidities, things like diabetes and heart disease. They still did twice as well as the low vitamin-D group without comorbidities, in terms of hospitalizations and deaths.
The level of treatment was not to "optimal" but to "barely normal".
This looks like a study designed to fail or be unimpressive, which turned out to be impressive , anyway.
Rapid and Effective Vitamin D Supplementation May Present Better Clinical Outcomes in COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Patients... Results: Our treatment protocol increased the serum 25OHD levels significantly to above 30 ng/mL within two weeks. COVID-19 cases (no comorbidities, no vitamin D treatment, 25OHD <30 ng/mL) had 1.9-fold increased risk of having hospitalization longer than 8 days compared with the cases with comorbidities and vitamin D treatment. Having vitamin D treatment decreased the mortality rate by 2.14 times.
Conclusions: Vitamin D treatment shortened hospital stay and decreased mortality in COVID-19 cases, even in the existence of comorbidities.
Vitamin D supplementation is effective on various target parameters; therefore, it is essential for COVID-19 treatment.

Omicron Is "Extremely Mild" Says Doctor Who First Discovered Strain
There is also no evidence that absence of vaccination will prevent severe disease from Omicron.
There is no apparent evidence that Omicron causes severe disease. Quite the contrary.
COVID vaccination also protects very well from severe disease caused by thinking about baseball.
(At least there's no "evidence" to the contrary.)
Oxford University Says "No Evidence" Vaccines Won't Protect Against Severe Disease Caused By Omicronhttps://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/oxford-university-says-no-evidence-vaccines-wont-protect-against-severe-disease-caused
Dr Alexander is a good medical analyst and writer.
Are We Overreacting to Omicron? Paul E. Alexander Ph.D."SCIENCE" becomes momma's apron for Toddler Fauci, who cannot mount any rational arguments.
He has "bad facts" like lying to congress about not funding gain-of-function research, and natural immunity being much better than vaccine-immunity..
He calls names. Senators Ron Paul and Ted Cruz (ugh!) are being mean and anti-science, which is very dangerous. Fauci is THE SCIENCE.
Nothing factual does he present.
Twitter was initially sold as peer-to-peer free-speech. Now bad ideas will be banned, and pictures of riots, and people committing crimes against other people and/or property. Tony "the science" Fauci is still a public figure, but there is bound to be room to explore the evolution of this not-first-amendment-bound "private platform" under the new manager.

This is the page comparison I mentioned in the last blog post. Ilargi, the blogger at The Automatic Earth first accessed the version that included the B.1.1.529 mention, dated 7/12/21, and when he returned to the site, that had been deleted. The official story is that it was just "updated", which he caught, then un-updated.
(There are more and more hints that this viral strain may have been in circulation globally for months, already.
There is such a range of presentation of COVID from minimal symptoms to severe illness and death.)
A South African COVID variant was described last March, which did not get as much global traction as expected, but was different enough that it evaded antibodies in the serum of people who had recovered from a prior strain.
