We can talk about how more than 98% of the entire population of Australia happily took two to three COVID vaccinations over the course of the past two years or so and there's been no significant increase in morbidity and mortality statistics compared to before. We can talk about how Australia has some internationally acclaimed epidemiologists who have been trawling the statistics here for the past 40 years, publishin…
I mean.. we locked children in their homes for 12-24 months. Quite literally, my kids could not: attend school, take swim lessons, do gymnastics, play soccer for 24 months without severe restrictions. Further, other parents were concerned to the point the sniffles or a covid exposure would limit our ability to get together for 3-14 days. Finally, you had parents also stuck home trying to raise kids in this environmen…
So you LITERALLY sit at home ALL THE TIME for a year? Even China didn't had 12 Month lockdowns!
> mask mandate lifted from schools after 24 months so locked at home or just mask mandates?

mRNA vaccines don't create circulating spike protein. The specific mechanism of action of mRNA vaccines is to create a spike protein inside a cell (muscle cell - it's an intramuscular injection) which then gets presented by the MHC-proteins on the surface of the cell. This is a similar mechanism which viral-vector vaccines use as well. This is quite unlike regular protein-bolus vaccines which do in fact just inject a…
I just saw in an article, that while uncommon, mRNA vaccines can actually lead to circulating spike protein. From the article [1]: Most notably, the plasma of patients with postvaccine myocarditis had “markedly elevated levels” of free spike antigen (33.9 ± 22.4 pg/mL), with the protein circulating in the body unbound by antibodies. “Although postvaccine myocarditis clinically occurs more commonly in males, [this] wa…
> A notable finding was that markedly elevated levels of full-length spike protein (33.9±22.4 pg/mL), unbound by antibodies, were detected in the plasma of individuals with postvaccine myocarditis, whereas no free spike was detected in asymptomatic vaccinated control subjects (unpaired t test; PSo what we have is a potential explanatory mechanism (namely, probably some biochemistry which means for whatever reason these people seem to release the protein rather then keep it cell bound - although correlation is not causation, the whole effect could work the other round).

And yes, flu virus (and other viruses) can (surprise!) replicate itself! And not the vaccine!
Diabetes is complex and a simplistic jump to "Covid directly causes Diabetes" is very likely incorrect. From the article itself: Diabetes risk factors may have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic including limited physical activity, increased sedentary behaviors, sleep disturbances, and increased intake of processed foods. and note that diabetes has increased in very specific groups, not generally at the sa…
COVID directly gave me pre-diabetic symptoms that gradually improved over about 12-18 months. It was really a binary healthy, not healthy switch after the most intense day of sickness.

“Cooking” at home does not necessarily mean healthier than restaurants. Home cooking for most people uses tons of sauces/cheeses/creams/butter/chocolate/breads/etc loaded with sugar and sat fats.
> Home cooking for most people uses tons of sauces/cheeses/creams/butter/chocolate/breads/etc loaded with sugar and sat fats. A restaurant chef once told me, 'not as much as we do'. I was in a city that required chain restaurants to put sodium quantities (and maybe other data) on the menues. The numbers were eye-watering.
Huh, I used the extra time I had during Covid to educate myself on health, nutrition, exercise. I lost 15 kg, reached my target BMI and have been replacing fat with muscle since. I am the healthiest I've ever been in my adult life thanks to Covid.

Former restaurant chef. Indeed, that’s my experience. Especially butter. I’ve never seen so much butter go into a dish. Another that flies under the radar: ingredient quality. Example that comes to mind: the cooking oil for sauce/fry/etc is garbage.
I was a stress eater up until late July when I started with strict OMAD/keto. I lost 8kg and reduced waist circumference by 11cm.
