My latest in PJ Media:
How many stories like this are there going to be before the political and media elites admit that maybe these vaccines don’t really work, or at the very least don’t work nearly as well as had been anticipated? CBS News reported Monday that Harvard Business School is “reverting to remote learning after beginning the semester with in-person classes, citing a rise in breakthrough COVID-19 cases among its students.” If you didn’t think Harvard Business School was full of the people the Left imagines as the only ones opposing the vaccine, you know, guys with Confederate flags on the back windows of their pickup trucks, that is, the Trump-voting, science-denying, mask-hating great unwashed, you’re right: 95% of Harvard Business School students are vaccinated, and 96% of the school’s employees are vaccinated as well.
Those Harvard Business School students who got jabbed thinking it was their gateway to a resumption of normal life are out of luck. That’s not how all this works. Harvard Business School spokesperson Mark Cautela announced: “With the support of Harvard University leaders, advised by city and state public health officials, we have decided to move all first-year MBA students and some in the second year, to remote learning for the week of 9/27 to 10/03.” Accordingly, according to CBS, “All first-year and some second-year MBA students will take classes online beginning this week. Classes will take place remotely at least until October 3, the school said in a statement.”
The CBS article reports the oddity of it all: “As universities resumed in-person instruction this fall, outbreaks of COVID-19 cases have popped up among students across the nation — despite the fact that many colleges have vaccine mandates, as well as the requirement to wear masks indoors.” Of course, CBS doesn’t give a hint of this, but maybe this new outbreak is an indication that all these vaccine mandates and indoor mask rules don’t do anything to stoop the virus. Nevertheless, “more than 900 institutions of higher learning had vaccine mandates in place as of September 20, with such requirements more prevalent on campuses in Northeastern and Western states, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.”
Despite the growing evidence pointing to the hollowness of the standard approach, however, Cautela was keeping the faith. He said that the move to online instruction came because of “a steady rise in breakthrough infections,” and was being undertaken despite the fact that “contact tracers who have worked with positive cases highlight that transmission is not occurring in classrooms or other academic settings on campus.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Michael Copeland says
A Sunday newspaper article, accusingly headed “40% of hospital Covid patients are unvaccinated”, went on to express that the other 60% HAD been vaccinated.
The injection does not claim to confer resistance to infection.

Actually, Michael, I’ve seen more headlines like this one:
“COVID-19 Roundup: The Unvaccinated 29 Times More Likely to be Hospitalized…”

Peter35 says
Jacinda Ardern, two and a half weeks ago:
“68 new cases in Auckland this morning, but 44 of them had been fully vaccinated.”
Bonnie Henry, Chief covid Dr for British Columbia, also two and a half weeks ago:
“84 new cases this morning, but they’re all unvaccinated”.
Who. do you believe?
Ardern is to be believed, since her comment went against her silly lockdown, while Henry is getting increasingly nasty, like all of her dictatorial ‘vaccine’ buddies
And G.I., you might like to. answer something for me; why, since all you vaccinated have taken the magic ‘vaccine’ and are now safe from the dreaded covid, are you so afraid of us who have more sense than to be forced (blackmailed) into getting a syringe full of drugs we do not want? You are ‘safe’, right?
World wide,, none of the vaccinated have answered this question….
Dammit, I’m 86, have lived in Canada 53 years, never had a flu shot, never had the flu. Obviously I have a good immune system, and I am to be punished for that, right?
gravenimage says
OK. Peter–I found that story here:
https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/68-new-community-cases-virus-detected-chch-wastewater
And I never said I was afraid of you–where did you get that idea?
Peter35 says
Looking around, there’s plenty of proof the vaccinated must be terrified of the unvaccinated for some reason, why. otherwise are they so insistent that we too take the jab.
But I should apologize for assuming you had taken the jab—abject apology!
The truth will out about the vaccine; soon, I hope. Caused a lot of deaths in my wife’s country Norway, which I’m glad to see is now free—no more lockdowns, no ”passports”. (same as Denmark)
gravenimage says
Yes, Peter, I have been vaccinated. I received the Moderna vaccines early this summer–my husband received the Pfizer vaccines around the same time.
somehistory says
The cdc ;has been found to not count those who are within a two-week window after getting the second shot as “vaccinated.” If these people get sick before it has been two weeks, they are counted as the unvaxxed.
What is more, if they get sick after the two weeks, they aren’t counted as “breakthrough” cases unless they are hospitalized and to be a “death” of the vaxxed group,, the death must be in the hospital.
Also, the monoclonal therapy that Mr. Trump received, and that biden has put a limit on to those states like Florida and Texas, can only be made from the blood of the unvaxxed. There is too much garbage from the jab…trillions of pieces of stuff…in the blood of the vaxxed for their blood to be used for taking antibodies.
Pathologists in Germany had a conference, and said they have seen so much in the autopsies of the dead from the vaxxed population that they have never seen before and don’t have names for.
Also, they have photos on slides of some of the things they have found in the dead vaxxed….steel, graphene oxide, BOTS…yes, like the ones that people send to computers to spy and trace and hack…to infect another’s computer.
A man who helped set up the DHS, an expert in cyber security, said that the “BOTS” are for tracing the people who get the shots…and he gave an example: A person works loading boxes for Amazon, then goes shopping and his hand is scanned to pay for what he wants from the money he made loading boxes. (He was interviewed by Epoch TV)
And yet, those who are all for this clot shot, which is not a vaccine (the cdc changed its definition of vaccine so this clot shot would fit), mandating that everyone…even coming to a state near everyone, 6th month old babies…get the shots and look forward to a “yearly thing.”
It’s another evil being foisted on the world, and the lies “safe” “effective” ….despicable.
Those trying to force everyone…even to babies…to get this are no better than the taliban.
And the “governor” of NY saying that “god wants us to get it,” and telling those who have that they are her “apostles,” and that they need to go out and convince others of the “Love” that will cause them to get the shot.
No better than the taliban.
commonsense says
Very good, informative post. On the radio today, Dan Bongino had a guest who reported that the incidence of COVID in Israel is several times higher now than it was a year ago. Israel took the initiative early and acted quickly to provide vaccines for its citizens, most of them receiving the Pfizer shots in record time, with most Israelis agreeing to take the shots. The Israeli population is, on the whole, on the young side, and healthy; the guest called Israel the perfect control study. The conclusions drawn from what is occurring there are, firstly, that the Pfizer vaccine (and, probably, the other vaccines as well) has only short term efficacy, and, secondly, that vaccinated people are, contrary to what we are told to believe, still able to readily transmit COVID to others. Thirdly, the lockdowns and attempts at distancing, isolation, and masking (all of which have been tried in Israel) do not work. The best course of action, according to the guest (sorry, I forgot his name), is to use therapeutics for those who have been diagnosed with the virus, and rely much more on the acquired immunity to the virus once one has, hopefully, recovered. In other words, the best outcome would be herd immunity resulting from large numbers of people being exposed to the virus, which would perforce spur the production of robust antibodies far longer lasting and more effective than the hastily distributed quasi-vaccines, the long term effects of which cannot possibly be known at this time.
somehistory says
Thank you for all of that.
One other thing that the guy on Epoch TV had to say: The shot causes such a “storm” in the body, trying to cause the body to fight the virus, makes the person unable to fight off anything else to which they may be exposed. Even cold “germs.”
The German doctors also mentioned the “storm” of t cells trying to fight off the pieces of steel, other bodies of stuff they couldn’t identify; and the damage done to every organ of the body, that the person is overloaded.
fauci and that peter durzak…or whatever his name, the one who tried to get the Pentagon to fund him and the wuhan lab…and the chinese making this virus, are evil and no excuses will ever be enough to undo what they have done to humankind.
As you point out, it cannot be known as yet all of the damage being done.
Terry Gain says
Good post somehistory.
The Vaccine Nazis are somewhat nicer than the Taliban. So far no one has been raped for refusing to be jabbed.
I have decided to identify as vaccinated. I have an open mind as to whether that will work better than this failed vaccine.
I am surprised that so few people point out that the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, population 240 million, has pretty well eliminated COVID-19 after a four month program of distributing ivermectin as a prophylactic and early treatment.
I can’t get Ivermectin in Ontario. The health authorities have deemed it dangerous notwithstanding that it has been safely used to kill parasites for 40 years. Ivermectin is indeed dangerous – to the pharmaceutical industry and the government’s plans to vaccinate everyone. After all, who in their right mind would take a rushed experimental vaccine when they can take a safe and effective prophylactic?
As a last resort I may invest in some scabies so that I can get ivermectin prescribed if I contract COVID-19
roberta says
The spouse and I both have the covid at the moment. Having dealt with it for the last near 2 weeks, we are in agreement that this virus is without a doubt by design.
(I know we all knew that already) but now we are walking the path, which is always more enlightening than just reading the map.
It has loosened and tightened its grip on us several times. Psychologically quite taxing, it adds a twist to the affects of just feeling sick. The up and down of it could easily kill someone who was already suffering from a co-morbidity. Ill explain (it loosens its grip, one feels as if they are on the other side of the virus, and within hours it has tightened back down and a feeling of defeat is then present)
I have lived and worked in shiite holes all over the world, and caught just about every type of crude and virus short of eboli. I am well acquainted with viruses. Ive been more sick in the past, and had a virus or 2 that came back after feeling I was getting the better of it, but never this many ups and downs.
Here is some advice from what we have so far learned. Make sure you have plenty of ibuprofen and prilosec on hand. The prilosec is to offset the stomach issues all of the ibuprofen is going to give you. Dont forgo eating, this crap will waste you away if you are not taking in enough calories. You are not going to feel like cooking, so get a supply of frozen pizzas, pot pies, and cookies. That may sound like junk food, but it will hold you together until the covid passes. Sleep at every chance.
somehistory says
Cookies….peanut butter oatmeal with nuts…pecans or walnuts… if you can get them.
Tastes great and have real food benefits.
I, too had the up …think you are getting over it, and then boom, worse again feeling like you have caught a new one. It’s awful and meant to be.
Hang in there. It will pass. Vitamin C, vitamin D, and since you are taking a lot of ibuprofen, vitamin E, and zinc.
roberta says
Thanks for the reminder, I had completely forgotten about the zinc. Even with it sitting out on the counter.
We were lucky in the draw I guess, he got it worse right off the bat, and I took care of him. Now he has pretty much recovered and is helping me through.
The kids thankfully so no signs
somehistory says
Glad to help. It’s good you and your husband have been able to help each other through it.
Only one child in our family got it…from being hugged and kissed by the other grandparents when they were ill. She was sick for a few days with runny nose and feeling grumpy.
It’s true that the young are mostly immune to it. And they definitely don’t need to be jabbed with an experiment.
gravenimage says
Roberta, I hope you and your husband recover soon!
mortimer says
We who are vaccinated to protect us from disease, now need to wear masks to protect from unvaccinated people because the vaccination doesn’t work and therefore the unvaccinated must get shots that don’t work and then continue to wear masks.
When everyone has two vaccinations and a third booster, we will still have to wear a mask to protect us from the vaccinated, because the vaccinations don’t work.
Makes no sense.
Patriotliz says
Is it “breakthrough” cases/infection, is it vaccine side effects or vaccine-enhanced Covid illness, i.e., ADE?
Do the vaxxed have a greater risk of Covid case/infection than the unvaxxed?
How significant are these reports of Covid cases/infection in either the vaxxed or unvaxxed?
We really don’t get sufficient info in these reports of Covid “cases” pre-vax or post-vax reports.
somehistory says
I have read, watched/listened to what so many doctors have said and it seems that the shots just make everything worse. They don’t protect from the virus and make people more likely to become ill with other stuff. And the vaxxed “shed” to the unvaxxed.
And, we need to recall the “never let a crises go to waste.”
And the fact that b gates…and his father who founded pp…are all for population control; gates has been recorded saying he could use vaccinations to lower the population of earth.

Osteopathy involves the manipultion of the human musculoskeletal system–it does not involve vaccinations.

Why not watch the video anyway? She isn’t just telling what she thinks, but has been shown stuff by others and is sharing it.
Not all doctors are psychologists, but the Social Security disability judges will send people to regular doctors and ask for their opinion about the mental, emotional, psychological condition of the patient.
This doctor will have more experience looking at chemicals, medicines, etc. as the average person who is not a doctor of any kind.
James Lincoln says
Briefly stated:
At 60+ yrs old, I have received the Covid vaccine to help protect *myself* against very serious illness. With the Delta variant, my being vaccinated does little to protect others (inconclusive data) from Covid infection.
That being said:
The Covid vaccine, due to some rare but potentially serious side effects, should only be targeted toward higher risk individuals (age, significant personal health risk factors, etc.,) where the benefit / risk ratio is favorable.
And, as Dr. Rand Paul has stated numerous times, people who have recovered from Covid have natural immunity and do not need the vaccine. This proof of natural immunity should be as valid as a vaccine card.
And…
Masks, except for possibly properly fit-tested N95 respirators, are mostly political theater. Adults can make their own choice but they definitely should not be worn by schoolchildren.
And the list of effective therapeutics for treating Covid continues to improve…
somehistory says
James Lincoln,
Briefly stated….because I can’t see and am gonna give up typing and reading until the drops wear off….
Each person, in a sane world, has the freedom of choice…what is best for him or her.
I very much agree with Dr. Paul….natural immunity is the best. In a sane world, it would be given the respect it deserves and there wouldn’t have to be so much to worry people.
With millions of cases, millions of people have that natural immunity. Probably a lot of people who took the shots, thinking they needed to.
In a sane world, there is freedom to choose.. Even to choose what remedies we wish to use to get better….such as the vitamin, mineral therapies.
It’s really quite funny to me….not laughing type….but before I became ill with the virus, I was already taking those for other things and I believe they helped me get well sooner than some people around m
Stay well.e.

Thank you, James.
Infidel says

Completely agree! While I get the disclaimers about the efficacy of vaccines against the Delta variant, I had myself tested in May to see if I had the antibodies as a result of unknowingly getting infected and recovered from the virus. The answer came out negative. It may have been a true negative or a false negative, I dunno, but I wasn’t gonna keep sinking money in different labs to see if the results were consistent, so I took that as true and took the Janssen vaccine a couple of days later.
I work in a place where masking is not mandated, although lately more of my colleagues have resumed wearing masks. I agree w/ Dr Rand Paul that it’s political theater, and that only medically fitted N95 masks will work. I’m assuming here that that N95 mask is not re-usable: one has to get a new N95 mask every day, which is not the same as the boxes of the blue paper masks that they provide. Which is why I just avoid places where I have to wear masks
Oh, and one more thing: I’m not taking any booster shots. Even if I get the Chinavirus + whatever localized international variant, I doubt that I, in my 50s and in reasonably good health (not obese, not diabetic, no history of heart disease, et al), am likely to die from it. And if I do, the blame would solely go to the Chicoms, and no one else!
P.S. Instead of naming them after Greek letters, they should have named the variants after letters in the Mandarin alphabet – 课, 客, 果, 国… ?
Infidel says
I forgot to mention: people who wear multiple masks are really dumb. Imagine if you had a mosquito infestation in your neighborhood, and then decided to put up 3-5 chain-linked fences around your property to keep them out. Do you really think that would work? Multiple masks are just as effective: if it’s those free blue paper masks that people generally toss after use, wearing 2 of them is as effective as those chain linked fences
David M says
Exactly. The covid 19 virus is 100 microns, the size of the gaps in the mask are at least 1000 microns. Masks are useless & the only reason the elites are getting us to wear them is to show we are submitting to their agenda. Actually the masks are worse than useless, they prevent people from breathing properly & they re-circulate germs. You wouldn’t wrap your car exhaust in a cloth to stop it exhausting would you? No.

The same people who consider activism against jihad as islamophobia more often than not support vaccine mandates. And at any rate, this story is not about being anti-vax: it shows the ridiculousness of in-person classes being suspended despite 95% of students being vaccinated, even though they’re not in danger of even being hospitalized by the variant, let alone dying. Another article a few days ago talked about banning unvaccinated students from remote classes somewhere in the country: that’s the sort of insanity that our elitist overlords are practicing
Most of us here have nothing against people taking vaccines: what we are against is anyone being forced to take a vaccine. To steal a cliche from the NARAL crowd: ‘My body, my choice’
