A recent study by Pfizer “proved conclusively” that their vaccine is safe for children aged 5 – 11.  The trial involved 2,268 children. None of the children came down with myocarditis.  So, obviously, no risk of this side-effect of the vaccine, right? Ummm – would

It is usually possible to create a study to prove any point at all.  Here are two examples of studies that seem to be valid, but which are probably totally meaningless. The first study, offered as part of the pro-vaccine propaganda; well, I’ll interrupt and

The FDA goes all in for vaxxing – any vax at all. Or so it seems.  No matter what vaccine you had, and also no matter which booster you might want, the FDA says “go for it”. I am astonished at this – not so

Can we agree that, and notwithstanding the benefits it conveys, the vaccine has failed to live up to our hopes and dreams?  As I type this, heavily vaccinated Washington State, where I live, is back in some vague degree of lockdown, masks are required indoors

  It is no great surprise that we have the highest number of Covid cases and deaths in the world, because we’re one of the largest countries in the world.  But, after adjusting for population size, and looking at numbers per head of population, we’re
