Dissension in the ranks...Let's not make the mistakes of the past
Drs John Campbell and Robert Clancy sitting down to discuss some of the issues to be addressed at an upcoming conference of the Australian Medical Association to be held in Sidney.

In addition the Australian Medical Association has published a book concerning the excess all cause mortality rate in Australia, available as a PDF download at no cost here: https://amps.redunion.com.au/
This excess death rate is only occurring in developed west countries, and only began to occur after excess deaths from the virus itself had returned to pre-virus levels. Researchers from around the world are concerned, and the book the Australian Medical Association has published has articles contributed by some of them.

Response to a blog who's author is supportive of Harvard termination of Prof Martin Kulldorff
I saw it was long and only now got around to reading it. At least this guy is a real doctor, not part of the mass hysteria crowd. I looked for evidence he is also a research scientist but didn't find it if it does exist. (Not spending too much time on it.) I did see he came across the Ioannidis seroprevalence study and was hesitant to argue against it as Ioannidis is one of the most published and cited epidemiologists in history.
The importance of this study (and other covid-19 seroprevalence studies) in the early days was to learn if the virus was risk stratified, and if so the percent of death according to risk stratification, and looking for the prevalence of antibodies across the entire population.
Covid-19 is/was very risk stratified, as is now clear, affecting mostly the elderly, whose immune systems are weaker for two reasons, age, and in addition poor lifestyle choices (which is more common in the US than any other developed world population).
The risk of death from infection was much lower in middle age, and a statistical zero in children under age about 14 (if I recall the exact age). So resistance to the virus is a smooth plot according to age and immune system strength.
On a side note "Immune System" is a bit of a misnomer, there is no specific anatomical system for immunity, the entire body is involved , to varying degrees.
What are the 12 systems of the human body?
They are Integumentary System, Skeletal System, Muscular System, Nervous System, Endocrine System, Cardiovascular System, Lymphatic System, Respiratory System, Digestive System, Urinary System, and Reproductive System (Female and Male).
These seroprevalence studies, along with other established pandemic science, are the entire rationale for protecting the elderly, allowing children to stay in school, not giving vaccines to children under 12, and allowing the middle aged to continue work activities according to personal choice.
There were no independent studies at that point for the safety and efficacy of the new mRNA tech, and none of the three authors of the GB Declaration have ever been "antivaxx" in any way.
Some call any resistance to any vaccine "antivaxx", a completely anti-science stance. Many vaccines in history have been withdrawn for safety reasons. The only bodies saying vaccines are universally safe and effective are the profiteers. I'm surprised when rational people agree with that bias.
These studies also demonstrated the virus was spreading very quickly, much too quickly to stop in its tracks. It became clear then what we know now, basically every one has been exposed, and the majority to the point of symptoms.
And standard epidemiological science is that viral pandemics are a natural disaster. We cannot stop volcanos, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc, and pandemics. We can however use science to reduce destructivity, with risk stratification etc.
Zero Covid was an invention of some marketing department, or at best, wishful thinking.
And the rationales for a total lock down and vaccines for everyone are an invention of BigP. The vaers vaccine injury system alone is sufficient evidence the roll out would have been stopped early in previous years on the basis of safety concerns. And now we have independent studies coming in from around the globe confirming significant safety issues.
The US Vaers reporting system (vaccine adverse event reporting system), and similar systems in nearly every country across the globe, suggest mRNA vaccine tech is quite dangerous relative to the commonly accepted standards for vaccine safety.
Finally a note about "studies" done by or for BigP (you've heard this before) are completely invalid on that one point alone - profit bias is "built in". Other biases are the participation of anyone involved with any kind of drug development invalidates studies. The only medical studies that can be trusted are completely independent. These are the only studies I pay attention to, and by that measure we've suffered ongoing censorship of medical information for at least a decade prior to the pandemic.
A lot of people that do follow independent studies re the pandemic are saying this has been a crime against humanity. In my opinion it has not risen to that level, but censorship of real scientific debate, censorship of information, ignoring basic epidemiological science, and mandates enforced by loss of livelihood, approach that level. What remains to be seen is the sum result of independent studies of vaccine related injury/death rates, and those studies are being done, but not by the pharma industry...no surprise there.
Meanwhile what happened during the pandemic is potentially still happening...the all cause mortality rates across most of the globe in 2022 and 2023 are off the chart, while deaths from covid ave fallen to an effective nil. In the developed west (where BigP is in control of legislative bodies) there is massive resistance to looking into this issue.
Meanwhile my point of view is not a rush to judgement, and patience.
I will also say I do not understand why all things pandemic were politicized liberal and conservative. That to me says neither side should be listened to.
Let's continue to listen to independent research scientists.
Fortunately full censorship of the global internet is as yet not possible.

De Niro isn't afraid of Trump
I think most people do not understand what it means to be a pathological malignant narcissist, but Robert De Niro clearly does!

Exactly how rare is the occurrence of biology in the universe?
First, did you ever stop and think where the term universe came from? Uni = one; verse = song; universe = one song.
We don't know thats true! It's a metaphysical term, ie "spiritual", and has nothing to do with science as we think of science in our hypertech ultramodern world of today.
So why are we still using the term Universe? Can't we up the game a bit with a science word?
The problem is we don't know "scientifically" if there is one verse. There might be two, or three or an infinite number of them.
Ah, I get it, if there's an infinite number of them, all of them would be one thing, all the songs. A body of songs.
Humm, back to metaphysics again, and metaphysics is a branch of philosophy, and definitely not the cold hard facts of science!! Maybe Einstein (definitely a scientist) had it figured out: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
Shit. Now we're falling deeper into the quagmire of infinity (whatever that is). Does that mean we have to be either atheist or religious? What if I want to be both?
Humm, I guess that would be pantheistic agnosticism. Which I guess translates roughly to "I know there is life, but I can't really say I understand it completely".
How do I know? I don't know, I just know that I know we are definitely "here". It's a feeling.
Perhaps the word science isn't really "grounded" unless we can turn a specific scientific principle into a technology. Like Einstein: e=mc2, et voila, nuclear energy.
That word bugs me, sounds a bit like "new clear", doesn't it?
Which brings us back to biology, ie life, and the question: how rare is it...?
Or how common? How common is biology in the universe?
Obviously we have absolutely no idea. We at least know there is one example, and we are it, living, as we are, in the "known" universe.
So there is at least one, and I think it's likely if there's one there's more. But since there is only one in the "known" universe, and since that's a relatively big space, it is rare.
So "biology is rare" is a ground plane of understanding. Let's look further at why it is relatively rare.
How far is the earth from the sun? 92 million miles. How far is the equator to the poles? 6000 miles. Apparently the "star to planet ratio" is pretty exact since none of the other planets in "our" solar system (yes we own it:) have biological life. Why not?
The star to planet ratio has to do with strength of radiation, heat and light, and very likely other forms of radiation also. The heat and illumination ratio has to be pretty damn exact...and how do we know that?
Well, think about the distance of the earth to the sun, 92 million miles. Now think about the distance of the equator to the poles, 6 thousand miles. Now think about the fact the proliferation of species of biology on the equator is VASTLY (some unknown orders of magnitude) greater than the the proliferation of biology on the poles. In a measly 6000 miles is the difference between almost too hot to almost too cold for biology to exist. And 6000 compared to 92 million? Relative to that number, if the earth was just a tiny bit further or closer to the sun biology would not exist, it would be too cold or too hot.
No wonder Earth is the only planet in nine where the extremely rare miracle of biology occured.
And how is it the earth hit that exact sweet spot? What are the oods?
You'd think we would be more careful with that rare miracle, right?
We already know there are enough nukes on the planet to destroy most of the biology on the planet (including us), and now we are worried artificial intelligence has the potential (according to the brainiacs who invented it) to end the human species!
Double trouble.
So why in the name of creation are we disrupting the ecology with man made technology to the point the so-called 6th mass extinction has begun?
I'll give you the short version, and it's something we humans really don't like admitting to ourselves. We are "driven" mostly by the unconscious (instinctual) mind, not the rational "conscious" mind. But not only that, the "processing" of the unconscious mind (brain, brain stem, and nervous system) takes up about 10x more space in the entire "autonomic nervous system" than the conscious mind's processing does.
Which makes us closer to the "lower animals" than we like to admit.
You know the one "we only use about 10% of our brain"? Well that's what it is referring to. And the incredible thing is that it takes up so much "room", and yet we are completely unconscious of it.
So the unconscious drive behavior that probably gets us in more trouble than the others is greed. Buddhists have a solution for that! But how many of us are Buddhists...
That aside, the better we personally become with loving behavior, the more likely we will individually become a net positive in our "impact" on the planet and all of our brothers and sisters across the planet.
Will that save our species? Who knows, but one thing is for certain, it just feels better living that way, and that is reason enough.

Dietary Heart Disease, Damage to Arterial Endothelial, Rubbery Plaque Formation, and Spike Protein Damage to Endothelial
We know from dietary heart disease that damage to the endothelial generates a rubbery plaque to form on arterial walls as a defense of some kind. And we now know the mRNA vaxxes generate massive spike proteins cascading through the arterial and vascular systems, damaging the endothelial, and generating similar rubbery plaques as occurs in dietary heart disease.
If nothing else this vaxx disaster shines a bright light on the cause of premature death in the majority of developed world populations, which could be a positive for population health.
That is unless the pharma industry manages to cover up this connection due to the damage it would cause to their business model.
There is a well documented sordid history of this sort of cover up. But wouldn't it be nice if the most prescribed drug, statins, becomes the least prescribed drug because it isn't needed any longer, and developed world healthy life spans were extended by decades.

AI, Friend or Foe?
It mispronounced sentient! A programmer's easter egg?
Sentient definition:
Sentient means capable of sensing or feeling. It can also mean conscious of or responsive to sensations like seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, or smelling. For example, "Elephants are highly intelligent, sentient and responsive creatures".
Sentience surfaces only in self generating life, ie biology.
Sentience definition:
The capacity to experience feelings and sensations, to have affective consciousness, subjective states that have a positive or negative valence (Chandroo et al., 2004). From: Neuroscience, 2022.
How do seeds know how and when to sprout? This can be argued to be among the most basic forms of sentience.
Life, ie biology, is some unknown orders of magnitude more complex than AI, and any other form of technology.
Can AI be made into a weapon? Of course. Any technology can be made into weapon.
Technology does not have feelings, intuition, instincts, "drive", or an unconscious mind.
It does not want anything.
The danger is not AI, it is "drive", Eros and Thanatos:
In Greek mythology, Eros is the god of love and desire, while Thanatos is the personification of death. Eros represents the life instinct, which drives behaviors that promote survival, pleasure, and reproduction. Thanatos, on the other hand, represents the death instinct, which drives aggressive and destructive behaviors.
While Eros is associated with creativity, love, and relationships, Thanatos is associated with aggression, self-destructive tendencies, and the desire for death or non-existence. Freud borrowed these terms from Greek mythology to conceptualize two fundamental drives within the human psyche in constant conflict, shaping human behavior and psychological development.
In other words, as POGO said, we have met the enemy and he is us.
As we get smarter do the odds we will self-destruct grow? If so, why would we call it smarter?
