Pulse Oximeters. Be careful.

(26th March, since posting I’ve additionally learned oximeters might not only be unreliable, but can also give different results based on skin colour.)

Since COVID more and more people are measuring their blood-oxygen levels, watching for a threshold they’ve been told to worry about.

Interestingly, those thresholds are set by both mainstream and freedom oriented medics. For instance, the FLCCC say get to hospital if blood-oxygen saturation drops below 94%.

But…

… Scott Schara sees oximeter use as pivotal in the lead up to the medical murder of his Down’s Syndrome daughter, Grace.

… Leslie Batts regrets using one too. Because it opened the door to the killing of her husband in hospital.

Knowledge misapplied or a psyop?

Most of us think oximeters are a useful tool. But…

Deaths in Ireland… upward trend slowing down?

Today, Ireland Excess DeathsIrish Quislings and RIP Counties each updated with their November numbers. Thankfully, this November seems less harsh than Nov ’22 and Nov ’21. But still way above pre-scam Novembers.

Also, more people have died in eleven months of 2023 than in the whole ‘novel virus’ year – the year we (supposedly) had no natural immunity nor injections to save us.

Good job those transfections started in Jan ’21 just as the deaths really started accelerating, eh?! It’d have been so much worse if those counter-measures hadn’t been deployed just then. Just in time.1Sarcasm

And no, this does not show lockdowns, masks and standing on circles in shops saved us in 2020. Because if they had saved us that year, why did they stop saving us from Jan ’21 on? (You might remember we were also doing those things for about the first half of 2021 – while the transfection roll-out was ramping up?).

The Tragic Consequences of believing Anti-Science

Scared people can be lethal – especially if deriving psychological security from just following orders. Stephanie Warriner’s tragic death (killing?), a case in point.

Legal consequences for those directly involved in the incident?

None, apparently.

Because a judge quashed the case… “despite the available video footage, two security staff who testified the accused placed weight on her upper body while she was held chest down, a forensic pathologist who testified Warriner would still be alive had she not been restrained that day — and revelations one of the guards admitted he falsely claimed Warriner threw the first punch.”

“… died after being choked by security in a Toronto hospital for having her mask too low. A coroner’s report stated she died “due to restraint asphyxia following struggle and exertion

… 10 May 2020. Stephanie Warriner, who had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) attended Toronto hospital because she was struggling to breath[e]…

Sitting in the hospital lobby she committed the terrible anti-science crime of wearing her mask around her neck.

… People have been told that useless masks will stop people transmitting a virus. There’s no need to go into the science of it but let’s put it this way, an asbestos removal man doesn’t wear a loose piece of cloth to stop him getting lung cancer.

Sadly, Stephanie died on 27 May, 16 days after the incident…

… lost her life because of anti-science. Anti-science, together with fear, made people believe that the world would end if a piece of cloth was not worn on one’s face correctly. It also gave the power-hungry an excuse to target people who were just minding their own business.

The Battle of Science vs. Ideological Faith in COVID-19 Vaccines

Anthropologists and historians have long observed that people in the grip of powerful religious or ideological convictions are immune to empirical evidence that challenges their beliefs. In1984, KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov gave an interview to G. Edward Griffin, titled ‘Soviet Subversion of the Free World Press’ in which he talked about what he called “ideological subversion.”

By “subversion” he meant the subversion of a nation’s political and economic culture, and also subversion of a people’s perception of reality. As he put it:

It is overt and open. You can see it with your own eyes. All you have to do—all American mass media has to do—is to unplug the bananas from their ears, open up their eyes, and they can see it. There’s no mystery. …. What it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country. It’s a great brainwashing process. … You cannot change their mind. Even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and illogical behavior.

I’m frequently reminded of Mr. Bezemenov’s remarks when I read Steve Kirsch’s reports of his daily battle with adherents to the COVID-19 Vaccine Cult…

This morning he published an essay detailing Dr. Liza Dunn’s attempts to refute the excess mortality analysis of UK math Professor Norman Fenton. As I read it, it occurred to me that Dr. Dunn is a COVID-19 Vaccine True Believer. She will therefore be extremely reluctant to consider that her belief is an Article of Faith, and not a conviction grounded in empirical science. To debate with her is the equivalent of someone going to Geneva in 1542, when John Calvin was the virtual dictator of the city, to debate with him about his Calvinist theology.

“Guys, it’s inappropriate to question someone’s vaccine status when they die.

That information was only relevant for employment, travel, education, recreation, dining, access to medical care, and celebrating holidays.”

Some on Twitter didn’t realise that was sarcasm. I hope you do.

The dumbest, most dishonest argument for Covid jabs yet

A computer model claims they prevented 3 million American deaths and almost 19 million hospitalizations. Imagine what they would have done if they actually WORKED against Omicron…

… in the interests of science – as opposed to The Science – I will demolish this absurdity in three minutes or less.

Alex Berenson

He does.

el gato malo does a more detailed takedown

passing off a model as evidence is tantamount to lying…

remember this?

so, if it does backfit and your major parameter assumption is wrong, it means the whole rest of your model is garbage.

… it’s pure GIGO1Garbage In, Garbage Out and the minute you assumed “vaccines worked well” then “vaccines saved huge numbers of lives” will pop out.

but if this assumption is wrong (as it appears so clearly to have been in the israeli palestine natural experiment comparison where death rates in the two places were near indistinguishable both before and after vaccination despite wide divergence in vaxx rate) then you’ve just “proven” nothing at all apart from the fact that models express the assumptions of the modeler.

COVID vaccine hesitancy is associated with significant increased risks of a traffic crash

The [‘Canaadian crash study’] authors are not mincing words: they found that UNvaccinated people are MORE likely to have car crashes. Based on this statistical finding, they urge people to vaccinate to avoid car crashes!

But…

Guess who is more likely to get into a car crash? That’s right, the person who drives to work daily, as opposed to a remote worker.

And…

The Unvaccinated Could not Take Trains or Fly in Canada

So they had to drive more.

Oh, one more thing…

Turns out that people over 65, who do NOT drive to work, are the ONLY group where vaccination leads to a slightly higher chance of car crashes for the vaccinated (without reaching statistical significance).

This outcome is the OPPOSITE of what happened to employed people:

So we can see that the conclusion that “unvaccinated people are more likely to be hurt in crashes” is explained by the fact that “essential workers” who drive to work were the ones choosing not to get vaccinated!

So… It is not the COVID vaccine that reduces the chances of having a crash. It is a fact that staying home with warm coffee and a laptop is safer than commuting to work or driving a truck. The effect does NOT exist in old people who do not work.

Ontario Nurses Association Wins Second Decision on “Unreasonable and Illogical” Vaccinate or Mask Influenza Policies

In 2018. After first in 2015.

[Vaccinate or Mask (VOM)]… policies force nurses and other health-care workers to wear an unfitted surgical mask for the entirety of their shift if they choose not to receive the influenza vaccine.

After reviewing extensive expert evidence… Arbitrator William Kaplan, in his September 6 decision, found that St. Michael’s VOM policy is “illogical and makes no sense” and “is the exact opposite of being reasonable.” In reaching this conclusion, Arbitrator Kaplan rejected the hospital’s evidence. A copy of the full decision is available here

This is the second such win for ONA.1Ontario Nurses Association In 2015, Arbitrator James Hayes struck down the same type of policy in an arbitration that included other Ontario hospitals … Hayes found there was “scant evidence” that forcing nurses to use masks reduced the transmission of influenza to patients. Despite this clear ruling, the majority of TAHSN hospitals refused to follow the Hayes award and maintained their respective VOM policies. As a result, ONA was forced to litigate this matter again at St. Michael’s Hospital.

Then SARS-CoV-2 came along late 2019

It tool a few months, but from around Easter 2020, the same masks that hadn’t worked for influenza were brilliant at preventing COVID-19 transmission.

The ScienceTM must have changed.
