NATO pushing for Kaliningrad CATASTROPHE by provoking Russia into global nuclear war Tuesday, June 21, 2022 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) The railway blockade of Kaliningrad is obviously a setup to try to provoke Russia into “attacking” a NATO member (Lithuania) so that NATO and the USA can justify a full-scale military assault on Russia. Once again, the neocons are scheming to plunge the world into global thermonuclear war in order to destroy the United States of America while attempting to maintain dictatorial control over the world’s natural resources and monetary systems.

To understand the full dynamic of what’s happening, you need to first learn about the geography of Kaliningrad. This Russian territory sits on the Baltic Sea, providing Russia its only year-round ocean access that isn’t frozen over for part of the year. Kaliningrad is land-locked, however, and not physically connected to the Russian mainland. A railway runs through Lithuania, connecting Kaliningrad to Russia proper. This railway passage has been in place for decades and has always been respected by Lithuania as Russia’s right-of-way to supply Kaliningrad.

See this map from Encyclopedia Britannica. Kaliningrad is shown roughly in the center of this map, to the west of Lithuania:

Lithuania’s railroad blockade

Under pressure from NATO and the USA, Lithuania (a NATO member nation) has now blockaded about half the cargo on that railroad, essentially declaring an illegal wartime blockade of Kaliningrad. This is an act of war against Russia, and it violates EU rules allowing open access across borders.

Russia has demanded an immediate reversal of the blockade, with the Russian Foreign Ministry saying, “If in the near future cargo transit between the Kaliningrad region and the rest of the territory of the Russian Federation through Lithuania is not restored in full, then Russia reserves the right to take actions to protect its national interests.” (SOURCE)

Kaliningrad hosts short-range nuclear missiles that can reach Poland and Germany

Kaliningrad is advantageously positioned to allow Russia to achieve denial-of-area military power projection over most of the Baltic republics, encompassing much of Germany and Poland, even using short-range missiles. Russia has the most advanced and modernized missile systems in the world, including the “Iskander” missile with a range of 500 km. Iskander missiles are launched from road-ready vehicles and are therefore mobile.

The Iskander missile system can carry nuclear warheads. It can also carry conventional warheads and even fuel-air explosives (thermobaric explosives) which can penetrate bunkers. Via WorldCrunch.com:

Vladimir Putin has put his nuclear forces on alert — a shock for many, but even more so for those just across the Polish border from Kaliningrad where Russian nuclear missiles are stationed, and aimed at European capitals from Warsaw to Berlin. The region, which is geographically separated from Russia and located by the Baltic Sea, is of vital importance to Moscow when it comes to threatening Europe — with nuclear weapons in particular.

NationalInterest.org also writes about the Iskander missile systems and why they matter. In an article entitled, “Why Russia’s Iskander SRBM in Kaliningrad Is Such a Big Deal,” the website explains:

From Kaliningrad, the Iskander can hit targets in Poland, parts of eastern Germany, southern Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, Belarus, and a great part of the Baltic Sea. …From the exclave, Russia can hit targets in most of the Baltic Sea, threatening an important shipping route, and hit NATO targets.

Short-range nuclear missiles have been spotted in Kaliningrad going all the way back to 2011. Via NonProliferation.org:

Ten years ago, almost to a day, The Washington Times reported that Russia had possibly moved warheads for short-range Tochka-U (SS-23) short-range ground-launched missiles into Kaliningrad… The SS-23s in Kaliningrad that were a concern in 2001 are still there, but recent reports add a new wrinkle: the additional presence of new Iskander ground-launched missiles with the range close to 500 km.

The bottom line? Anyone messing with Kaliningrad is risking retaliation via Russia’s highly-capable missiles.

Meet Russia’s RS-24 YARS ICBMs

Familiarize yourself with the following chart showing Russia’s missile capabilities. The chart is sourced from the Center for Strategic International Studies:

This chart shows that Iskander missiles can reach Poland, Germany and several other Baltic nations. It also shows, more importantly, that Russia’s RS-24 YARS ICBMs (noted as “SS-29 YARS” in the graphic, which uses NATO designations) can reach all of the continental United States, plus all of Europe. (The USA is pale white in the image above, a bit difficult to see but you’ll see it if you look for it.)

In effect, Russia’s ICBMs can reach any target in the Northern hemisphere of planet Earth.

What you need to know about the RS-24 YARS system is that:

  • It travels at Mach 20

  • It cannot be stopped by any known anti-missile defense system deployed by the USA or NATO

  • It can carry out evasive maneuvers during its flight, helping it avoid interception

  • It can deploy multiple MIRVs (nuclear re-rentry vehicles), each of which strikes a different target

  • Russia is rumored to have dozens or even hundreds of these missiles at the ready

In other words, the minute Russia decides it wants to wipe Western Europe and the USA off the map of history, it can easily do so with the RS-24 YARS missiles. And that doesn’t even require use of the SARMAT ICBMs which are even larger and can deploy Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs) upon reentry.

NATO and the USA are grossly miscalculating the outcome of a world war with Russia

The point of all this is that while the USA and NATO — both run by insane, power-hungry neocons who respect no rule of law, no international treaties and no national sovereignty — think they can beat Russia in a global thermonuclear war, they are just as delusional as they’ve been when trying to harm Russia with economic sanctions that have only devastated western nations.

If Biden forces Putin into a nuclear defense of Kaliningrad and Russia, the United States and NATO will be utterly destroyed by Russia’s nuclear arsenal, even if it means Russia has to absorb a retaliatory strike (which it can survive due to anti-ICBM defense systems and a network of fallout shelters).

By trying to force Russia into a war with NATO, the USA’s illegitimate, criminal cartel leaders (Biden, Obama, Clinton, Nuland, etc.) are thrusting the entire world into the very real potential for a nuclear apocalypse and the end of life as we know it on planet Earth. Importantly, the USA will lose such a world war badly, and the whole world will finally see how weak, pathetic and “woke” the US Pentagon has become. The US military is utterly incapable of winning even a single front war with Russia, not to mention a two-front war with Russia and China combined. And the Pentagon is far more concerned about paying for transgender surgeries for woke soldiers than actually teaching men how to fight.

That’s why we must right now arrest the criminals who stole the 2020 election. Remove them from power. Prosecute them. Pull us back from the brink of nuclear war with Russia and reaffirm Russia’s right to exist as a sovereign nation with its own interests and sphere of influence.

Yet we don’t see any evidence whatsoever that the neocon lunatics running the Biden regime have any willingness to recognize Russia’s right to exist. Thus, the entire world stands on the brink of disaster.

Elections have consequences, and stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.

RED ALERT: Entire U.S. supply of diesel engine oil may be wiped out in 8 weeks… no more oil until 2023 due to “Force Majeure” additive chemical shortages Wednesday, June 22, 2022 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) As if we all needed something else to add to our worries, a potentially catastrophic situation is emerging that threatens to wipe out the entire supply of diesel engine oil across the United States, leaving the country with no diesel engine oil until 2023.

This isn’t merely a rumor: We’ve confirmed this is happening.

According to information you’ll see here (and explained in more detail in today’s podcast, below), chemical manufacturers of diesel engine oil additives have declared force majeure and have ceased supply operations to the diesel engine oil manufacturers. Those manufacturers combine base oils with “additive packages” to create diesel engine oil. You can see a full list of these additives at InfoMak.com:

Antioxidants, anti-corrosion agents, dispersing additives, antirust mechanisms, friction modifiers, EP additives, antifoaming agents, antioxidants, etc.

Without these additives, diesel engine oil manufacturers cannot produce the final oil products that lubricate diesel engines. Because key manufacturers of these additives have ceased operations, diesel engine oil can apparently no longer be produced in the USA, at least not until these necessary chemicals are restored to full supply. This is explained by an industry expert in the following 2-minute video:

The current supply of diesel engine oil is expected to be wiped out within 4 – 8 weeks

As stated in the video above, the current supply of diesel engine oil will likely be gone in 4-8 weeks. After that, unless a solution is quickly found, there will be no diesel engine oil available until some time in 2023.

So from late August through 2023, barring some new chemical intervention, there will be no diesel engine oil available in the United States.

“I want it to sink what I’m trying to tell you. I’m trying to tell you there’s going to be no diesel engine oil for an entire year at all,” says the man in the video. “Get some oil, whatever it takes. If you want to continue to operate, you need a least a year’s worth of oil sitting in the garage or in the shop.”

But is he correct? We did some digging to find out…

The warning checks out: Other engine oil suppliers are already warning about the inventory wipeout

We don’t yet know the identity of the man in the video above, and we don’t automatically believe what he is saying. So we’ve independently checked with other diesel engine oil suppliers to find out if this shortage allegation is legit.

Sinopec is a commercial oil brand that’s available for purchase online. The BuySinopec.com retail website carries a similar warning about the looming wipeout of diesel engine oil:

Here’s the text on their website, sourced on June 21, 2022: (note the non-perfect grammar, which we have not corrected):

Diesel Oil PRICE LIST while supplies last. We expect to stock out of diesel oil products in the month June of 2022, and resume back with inventory first quarter of 2023.

This means that other refinery products, including the raw materials for producing base oil for lubricants, are in short supply. This has led to a worldwide shortage of base oils.

Refinery maintenance
Many crude oil producers have postponed their planned maintenance in 2020 because of the pandemic. They are now shutting down to carry out critical maintenance activities, further reducing global supply. Reduced demand for paraffin and fuel has caused many refineries to carry out maintenance activities, further reducing available capacity

Several winter
In February, the Gulf Coast region of the United States was hit by unprecedentedly severe and cold winter weather. This caused shortages in many chemicals and raw materials needed for the production of lubricant additives. In addition, several major additive suppliers declared Force Majeure after their raw material suppliers invoked force majeure due to the extreme weather conditions. This affects additives and chemicals for all lubricant categories.

UPDATE: Shortly after my podcast went live, citing the BuySinopec website, they removed this language from that page, likely due to the very high number of media inquiries they were getting due to my mentioning them in my podcast.

Another source confirms the shortage and rationing of diesel engine oil

A third source has confirmed this situation to me personally, emphasizing that if I were to attempt to purchase two 55-gallon drums of 15W40 diesel engine oil, they could only provide one drum because of “diesel engine oil rationing” that has been initiated within their distribution company. Apparently they are having difficulty supplying all the engine oil being demanded by customers.

We currently have an in-house researcher looking for the actual names and locations of the additive chemical manufacturers who have reportedly declared force majeure and are causing this extreme disruption in the supply chain for engine oil. We will bring you that update once it is available. At present, we do not know the names of these additive manufacturers.

Shortages of diesel fuel and DEF also widely reported

All modern diesel engines require three things to operate:

1) Diesel fuel
2) Diesel engine oil
3) Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) (used to reduce emissions)

Without any one of these three, diesel engines cannot function. Importantly, there are shortages being widely reported in each of these three.

Diesel fuel shortages are being reported in Florida, with Flying J gas stations running out along the highways in some areas. As we reported yesterday on NewsTarget.com:

Union Pacific reducing rail shipments of diesel fuel for Pilot Flying J gas stations… DEF – Diesel Exhaust Fluid – supply chain also cratering

In addition, Union Pacific railroad is asking CF Industries, the primarily supplier of urea for making DEF fluid, to reduce rail car loads. This means the distribution of DEF ingredients as being disrupted.

The problem is so severe that even Tucker Carlson has covered the diesel fuel scarcity emergency:

From “scarcity to non-existent”

A diesel engine oil shortage only adds to the escalating catastrophe hammering trucking and transportation. “[Oil is] going to become the hottest commodity you’ve ever seen over the next couple of months. Anywhere from the next 4 weeks to 8 weeks, it’s going to go from scarcity to non-existent,” says the man in the video above.

Anecdotally, owners of RVs and trucks have been reporting worsening shortages in the diesel engine oil market for months. In February of this year, for example, a user at the “Alliance RV Owners Forum” reported:

DIY vehicle maintenance guys are having a hard time finding synthetic diesel motor oil. I’ve always used Rotella T6 5W40 and I can’t find that stuff anywhere, not even on Amazon. Other brands seem to be in short supply too. I picked up some Motorcraft synthetic 5W40 at my local Ford dealership and the parts manager told me that dealerships are having a difficult time getting Motorcraft diesel oils in.

Users on a GMC Duramax (diesel truck) forum shared similar stories from February of this year:

I cannot for the life of me find Delo 400 in any stores. Diesel oil in general seems scarce. I was able to find some Rotella which I have never used but I’ve heard it’s a good oil. I went ahead and bought 2 2.5 gallon jugs since they were on sale for $30.

Rotella T6 has evaporated for me in the NJ area.

There is a huge additive shortage presently.

Retailers, customers and distributors are all reporting shortages in diesel engine oil. This is not an imaginary problem, it is a real problem that is so far entirely ignored by the corporate media.

Without diesel engine oil, transportation in the USA grinds to a halt… including trains

Yesterday, my company emailed a representative working for one of our package / transport carriers. We asked them if they had contingency plans on how they would deal with diesel fuel shortages. Their answer shocked me so deeply that I recorded a short podcast about it (below).

They told me we didn’t have to worry about diesel shortages because if the diesel ran out, they would revert to using trains for transportation.

Confused, we asked them a question in our reply, “What fuel do you think trains run on?”

Their answer? COAL.

Yes, people working for transportation and logistics carriers in 2022 think there’s a guy on every train, madly shoveling coal into a fire box, like a scene out of the 1850s. They have no idea that trains run on diesel.

Since trains run on massive diesel engines, they use a tremendous amount of diesel engine oil. If the oil runs out, the trains cannot run.

If the trucks and the trains stop running, forget about getting a supply of anything

At this point, any rational person who isn’t a dumbed-down Biden supporter or a mind-numbed CNN viewer should be realizing what happens when the diesel engine oil runs out and all the trucks and trains stop running.

For starters, there will be no coal deliveries to the power plants that generate electricity. So the power grid ceases to function.

That also means all the people with electric vehicles won’t be able to charge their cars.

No diesel = No electric vehicle charging.

With no electricity, ATMs won’t work and banks won’t function either. Nor will Point-Of-Sale retail systems at checkout counters. Credit cards won’t work either.

Without trucks or trains, there will be no food deliveries to grocery stores. No inventory at Wal-Mart. No lumber at Home Depot.

If this diesel engine oil situation is not somehow resolved, Amazon.com will cease to function because all the package carriers — UPS, Fedex, USPS, etc. — will not be able to move loads via roads or rail.

Even worse, without diesel engine oil, all agriculture will grind to a halt and the crops will rot in the fields.

There will be no construction machinery able to operate, since they’re all diesel engines.

And if your food facility is on fire and you dial 911, they won’t be able to send fire trucks because tire trucks run on diesel engines (as do most ambulances).

Many ships and boats also use diesel engines as well.

So a collapse of diesel engine oil, if it runs its course, leads to a total collapse of the economy. America cannot survive even six months without diesel engine oil, much less a year.

Sri Lanka is pulling trains off the railways due to the diesel engine oil shortage

As proof of the severity of all this, Sri Lanka — which is already in a state of revolt and collapse — has just announced they have no diesel engine oil for their railway trains. From Newsfirst.lk:

Sri Lanka Railways said that it will NOT be possible to operate trains in the future due to the lack of engine oil. A senior official at Sri Lanka Railways said that the current level of engine oil would only last for another two months.

That’s in line with the warning we’re hearing in the states: About 8 weeks of diesel engine oil remaining in the pipeline. If that holds out, it means there will be no more diesel engine oil in late August or early September.

About 10 percent of 18-wheeler rigs need to change their oil each week

All across America, about 10% of the 18-wheeler transport trucks have to change their oil each week. These trucks go about 25,000 miles between oil changes, and a typical rig is driven about 2,500 miles per week. That means the typical truck goes 10 weeks between oil changes.

Mathematically, assuming the oil change status is evenly distributed across the fleet of transport trucks, starting in late August, about 10% of long-haul trucks will have to be removed from the roads each week due to a lack of diesel engine oil.

Within 10 weeks, unless some new supply is found, nearly 100% of the trucks will be garaged.

Considering some buffer time in all this, that puts us at around mid-November for the “truck-a-geddon” scenario where trucks are no longer functioning because there’s no engine oil. Trains would be shut down around the same time, seemingly.

We hope this problem can be resolved and that a solution is found. Yet we also live in a world where we have a widely recognized infant formula shortage and now even a tampon shortage. There’s a diesel fuel shortage, a DEF shortage and a serious shortage of replacement parts for tractors, trucks and construction equipment. So it’s not a radical thought to realize there may be a diesel engine oil shortage brewing as well.

Joe Biden recently bragged about “taking millions of cars off the road,” confirming that his goal is to actually eliminate vehicles on roadways. Nationwide scarcity of engine oil would surely accomplish that goal rather quickly, it seems.

The way things are going under the Biden administration — a senile crook who was thrust into power with a rigged, illegitimate “election” — we can only expect the worst.

Hannah, Duncan Rathbun Artist, Author 1952-2022 Duncan Rathbun Hannah, 69, died of an unexpected heart attack on June 11 at his home in West Cornwall, Connecticut. Born in Minneapolis in 1952, he attended Kenny Elementary, Blake School, and Hopkins High School, before leaving for Bard College and Parsons School of Design in New York.

As a child, he displayed a remarkable talent for drawing and painting, and for internalizing and impersonating such luminaries as Sherlock Holmes, Gene Autry, and Count Otto von Bismarck in his daily life and for weeks at a time. A long-time resident of New York City, Duncan returned to Minneapolis often as his artistic career evolved. He showed at Oulman Gallery and Groveland Gallery, among others. Duncan chronicled his turbulent early days in New York in the 1970s in a memoir published in 2018 entitled Twentieth Century Boy. Known as a bon vivant, natty European-style dresser, and witty companion, Duncan traveled often to France and England, where he opened many shows of his art in private galleries. His nostalgic, figurative paintings often evoked the dreamy and sometimes troubled landscapes of children and movie stars, with frequent studies of ocean liners, race cars, and small hotels from the 30s and 40's. Sometimes called "meditations on solitude", his work is held in the collections of the Chicago Art Institute, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum in New York. He had significant success as a portrait painter as well, and has many pieces in private collections, including Mick Jagger's.

Family holds tight after sudden death of Robb Kociol, MD

June 19, 2022

Milton, MA - Since the sudden recent death of her husband Robb on their 15th anniversary, Kristin Kociol said she has learned even more about her [cardiologist] husband’s pioneering work in heart failure and transplantation. “He did a lot in the short amount of time he was here,” Kristin said in a recent interview. “I know a lot of people in Milton are alive because of him.” She said that the support of friends, family, colleagues and neighbors in Milton has been amazing since he died on June 2 at age 51.

It isn’t the first time the family has felt that support. Kristin said that just before her younger daughter Olivia turned six, she was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Olivia began her first chemo on her sixth birthday.

No cause of death reported.

A sports medicine therapist, unusually fit, “died suddenly” while hiking in Spain:

He planned to make a famed pilgrimage alone. He died, while doing it, among friends.

June 15, 2022

Friends often joked that Aaron Hewitt was “The Mayor of Charlotte,” a guy who seemed to know everyone wherever he went ... or, if he found himself around people he didn’t know, he had a reputation for being able to turn a stranger into a pal in a matter of minutes. So even though Hewitt boarded a plane to Europe 11 days ago with every intention of walking the Camino de Santiago on his own, it should come as a surprise to precisely none of his friends that others making the pilgrimage had attached themselves to him less than two days into his journey. And in the face of her tremendous grief, it comforts his wife, Amanda Hewitt, to know that when her husband collapsed and died just outside of Logroño in northern Spain on Saturday morning, he was not alone.

A four-time marathoner, an avid CrossFit athlete, and a hiking enthusiast, Hewitt spent more than 15 years as a popular and respected physician assistant specializing in sports medicine at OrthoCarolina in Charlotte before he and his wife moved to Naples, Florida, in 2018.

He studied athletic training and sports medicine at Central Michigan University, and after earning his bachelor’s degree he worked two years as an assistant athletic trainer for the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings. He went back to Central Michigan to earn a master’s in physician assistant studies, and moved to Charlotte in 2002 to work for OrthoCarolina.

The next morning, Aaron had told his companions that he was feeling nauseated, and to go on ahead of him. They refused to leave him behind, Amanda says. After waiting for him to feel up to it, they walked for maybe 60 to 90 minutes — on a flat dirt path, at a leisurely pace — then stopped to take a photo. After it was snapped, Aaron bent forward to put his hands on his knees, then collapsed. At least one member of the group started CPR, but efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. Amanda says it’s suspected Aaron had a heart attack. Despite the fact that he was a healthy eater and “as fit as they come,” she says he had extremely high cholesterol, which is something both of his parents have lived with, too. He had no known heart conditions. An autopsy report is due back later this week.

Joann Inc. Financial Chief Matt Susz Dies

June 16, 2022

Matt Susz, Joann Inc.'s executive vice president and chief financial officer, died suddenly on Wednesday, the company said Thursday. Tom Dryer, currently Joann's vice president and controller, will serve as interim chief financial officer, the Hudson, Ohio, fabric and craft retailer said. Mr. Susz joined Joann in 1996 and had been chief financial officer since February 2019.

No age or cause of death reported.

Biden’s inapt words of condolence for Susz’s family:

[Biden] ripped the industry of consolidated foreign-flagged vessels a day after tearing into oil companies, and once again laying much of the blame for inflation at Russian President Vladimir Putin's feet.

But he began his remarks at the White House with words of condolence for one of the people there, the head of Ohio-based specialty retailer Jo-Ann Stores. The company is still coping with the news from Wednesday that its chief financial officer, Matt Susz, died suddenly.

'And by the way, my sympathies to your family of your CFO, who dropped dead very unexpectedly,' said Biden, who is known to console people like himself who have lost loved ones and has flown to multiple funerals even as president.

Four mysterious accidents:

Riverhead man dies in single-vehicle crash in Laurel

June 14, 2022

A 68-year-old Riverhead, NY, man died in a single-vehicle crash in Laurel Monday afternoon when his pickup truck swerved off Main Road and across oncoming traffic before striking a tree head-on. Southold Town police confirmed Tuesday that the driver, Angelo Stavropoulos, 68, was pronounced dead at Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead.

Mr. Stavropoulos was driving a 2021 Toyota Tacoma eastbound on Main Road near Laurel Lake Park when the crash happened at about 2:45 p.m. in front of a home. There were no passengers in the pickup or other vehicles involved.

Southold Town Police Chief Martin Flatley said he wasn’t certain if the driver suffered a medical emergency just prior to the crash, but officers and first responders administered CPR at the scene on the driver. A witness who was driving behind the Tacoma said he saw the pickup cross the road and crash directly into the tree. “No brakes, no nothing,” the witness told the News-Review.

Note the final sentence, on last year’s record number of traffic fatalities in Berkeley:

Berkeley honors JT Street, 19-year city worker, who died in motorcycle crash

June 15, 2022

Police do not yet know what may have caused the crash but are looking into whether Street may have experienced a medical emergency.

The man who died over the weekend in a motorcycle crash in South Berkeley was 52-year-old James “JT” Street, a longtime city worker and Berkeley native who lived just blocks from where he lost his life.

The crash investigation is still in progress, but police believe Street — for an unknown reason — struck the curb near a concrete barrier on the east side of Adeline as he rode north. The collision sent him traveling across the lanes and into the median.

There were no skid marks in the roadway, police said this week. BPD does not suspect alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash.

Now, investigators are waiting for the coroner’s report to determine whether Street may have had a medical emergency.

Street’s death was Berkeley’s first traffic fatality of the year.

Last year, eight people died in Berkeley traffic collisions. It was the highest number on record for decades.

June 16, 2022

SAN JOSE (CBS SF/BCN) – A man who died after his car crashed into a San Jose Home Depot over the weekend suffered a medical emergency before the accident that killed him, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office.

The crash was reported at 1:38 p.m. Saturday at the store in the 2100 block of Monterey Road, where the man drove his vehicle into the front of the store and was later pronounced dead at a hospital, police said Thursday.

The medical examiner's office on Wednesday determined the medical emergency, not any injuries from the crash, caused the man's death, so police said they are removing the case from their traffic fatality statistics for the year.

Business community mourns Ryan Malane, 48

June 18, 2022

Port Angeles, WA — Community members were stunned to hear of the sudden death of Ryan Malane, vice president and co-owner of Black Ball Ferry Line, who had contributed his marketing expertise to people ranging from small business owners to those with government entities and nonprofits. Malane, of Port Angeles, died on Sunday at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle. He was 48.

“Every person I’ve had to tell the news to is consistently shocked and heart-broken,” said Marsha Massey, executive director of the Olympic Peninsula Visitors Bureau. “He was a major figure in this community. He cared very deeply about this place — about the North Olympic Peninsula as a whole.”

The cause of death was reported by a family friend to be a lack of oxygen and fluid on his lungs, but no specific ailment has been announced. Black Ball President Ryan Burles of Victoria said Malane had been severely ill for at least two weeks prior to his death. Some said COVID-19 played a part in his early death, even if he was never infected with the virus.

In March 2020, the Coho was docked due to COVID-19 health restrictions, and for the next 18 months, the company survived on reserves and grants while maintaining medical insurance for all of its 120 workers. “The worry, the pressure, everything that came with COVID and trying to keep your business alive … I know it took a tremendous toll on him,” said Randy Johnson, Clallam County commissioner, fellow board member on the county lodging tax board and a close friend. “He took it to heart and thought about it every day.”

Intranasal Flu Vaccine Developed Using Graphene Oxide Sheet-Like Nanoparticles BY RHODA WILSON

Last year Georgia State University announced that researchers had developed an influenza vaccine made of nanoparticles and administered through the nose.

In this study, the researchers developed an intranasal influenza vaccine and they also created a two-dimensional nanomaterial (polyethyleneimine-functionalised graphene oxide nanoparticles).

“In our study, we reported for the first time that two-dimensional graphene oxide nanomaterials had a potent adjuvant effect in boosting the immune responses of intranasal hemagglutinin (HA) vaccines,” said Dr. Chunhong Dong, lead author of the study. “This study gives new insights into developing high-performance intranasal vaccine systems with two-dimensional sheet-like nanoparticles.”

Read more: Intranasal Influenza Vaccine Enhances Immune Response and Offers Broad Protection, Biomedical Sciences Researchers Find, Georgia State University, 3 May 2021.

Who is Graphene-Info?

We discovered the development of this “vaccine” administered via the nose using graphene oxide through an article published by Graphene-Info.

Whenever we read an article, we should use our critical thinking to establish not only how factual it is but also if it has any inherent bias.  One quick way to give some insight is to get a feeling for the nature of the source, whether it could be from a particular perspective or has an inherent bias, by browsing the website, for example.  In the case of Graphene-Info, the ‘About us’ page states:

“Graphene-Info is a comprehensive portal for all things graphene. It was launched in 2009 as a graphene news aggregator and quickly grew to become a hub for graphene professionals and enthusiasts.

“We see ourselves as graphene evangelists, spending our time learning the material and interacting with players in the industry to form a solid foundation for the versatile arsenal of services we offer. We pride ourselves on having a unique understanding of the market, and aim to use it for the growth and advancement of the graphene industry.”

There is an obvious inherent bias with a site so openly enthusiastic about graphene. That doesn’t mean we should ignore or dismiss everything the “graphene evangelists” or their site promoting “all things graphene” publish. It simply indicates it is telling some of the truth but not necessarily all.  That its bias will be to praise “all things graphene” as wonderous while glossing over or attempting to downplay the negatives or harms; and that we should look at alternative sources to get a more balanced view.  However, now knowing this inherent bias exists, Graphene-Info could be a useful resource to highlight “all things graphene” should you wish to stay informed.

Keeping the above in mind, and so you can filter out the pro-graphene bias for yourselves, below we have republished Graphene-Info’s article ‘Graphene oxide gives a boost to new intranasal flu vaccine’ word for word as it highlights using graphene in “vaccines,”  more specifically “vaccines” that are aerosols, or sprays, as opposed to injections.

Graphene oxide gives a boost to new intranasal flu vaccine

Researchers at Georgia State University and Emory University have developed an intranasal influenza vaccine using recombinant hemagglutinin (HA), a protein found on the surface of influenza viruses, as the antigen component of the vaccine.

They also created a two-dimensional nanomaterial (polyethyleneimine-functionalised graphene oxide nanoparticles) and found that it displayed potent adjuvant (immunoenhancing) effects on influenza vaccines delivered intranasally.

“In our study, we reported for the first time that two-dimensional graphene oxide nanomaterials had a potent adjuvant effect in boosting the immune responses of intranasal hemagglutinin (HA) vaccines,” said Dr. Chunhong Dong, lead author of the study and a postdoctoral research Fellow in Dr. Baozhong Wang’s lab in the Institute for Biomedical Sciences.

“This study gives new insights into developing high-performance intranasal vaccine systems with two-dimensional sheet-like nanoparticles,” Dong said. “The graphene oxide nanoparticles have extraordinary attributes for drug delivery or vaccine development, such as the ultra-large surface area for high-density antigen loading, and the vaccine showed superior immunoenhancing properties in vitro and in vivo. The nanoplatform could be easily adapted for constructing mucosal vaccines for different respiratory pathogens.”

The study, conducted in mice and cell culture, found the nanoparticles significantly enhanced immune responses at mucosal surfaces and throughout the body in mice. The robust immune responses conferred immune protection against influenza virus challenges by homologous (same) virus strains and heterologous (different) virus strains.

The results are also promising because needle-free, intranasal influenza vaccines possess superior logistical advantages over traditional injectable vaccines, such as easy administration with high acceptance for recipients and the avoidance of biohazardous waste.

Toxicity of graphene oxide

Previously, we have published numerous articles regarding graphene found in Covid injections and face masks, the harmful effects of graphene on the human body, graphene being transmitted from the “vaccinated” to non-vaccinated and how to detox from graphene.  The first article we published was in mid-July 2021 and the most recent was at the end of May 2022.  Follow this LINK to browse through our articles on graphene.

It is always useful to read the comments under articles as they often provide a useful starting point for alternative views and resources.  In response to Graphene-Info’s article, users have been posting comments highlighting the toxicity of graphene.  One user commented:

“There are plenty of studies linking graphene to toxicity. I personally work with graphene and it caused an irritation reaction and permanent discolouration of my skin from a single exposure. Think what it might do to the sensitive nasal mucosa.”

Other comments provided links to articles and studies which show the harmful effects of graphene:

As one commentator succinctly put it: “Here’s a start … Now – DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.”

5G is a weapon system and a crime against humanity, says Mark Steele BY RHODA WILSON

“Putting tens of millions of 5G antennas, without a single biological test of safety, has to be about the stupidest idea anyone has had in the history of the world” – Professor Martin Pall

Professor Pall is wrong, Mark Steele said in a 15-page report: “It is not a stupid idea but a heinous crime if one understands the motive behind this deployment. 5G is a compartmentalised weapons deployment masquerading as a benign technological advance for enhanced communications and faster downloads.”

“The 5G network has the capability to target acquire and attack the vaccinated due to their nano metamaterial antenna Covid-19 vaccine. Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) require the 5G networks to maintain their geo-position and navigate their environment to the target; these weapons cannot rely on satellite communications due to the potential for inclement weather events and signal latency to disrupt their signals so they must have localised 5G networks.”

Steele clarified the definition of a weapon, it’s “a device, tool, or action that has been fashioned to cause physical or psychological harm in breach of the primary legislation.”

“The compartmentalisation of weapons systems development has played a crucial role in not alerting those within the regulatory authorities and telecommunications industry to the real purpose and intentions of those ultimately driving and funding the deployment of 5G and biological chemical weapons masquerading as Covid-19 vaccines for a planned control and command kill grid.

“The world is blindly following the plans of the technocratic elite and the military-industrial-pharma complex to terminate large numbers within populations across the world with no regard to the primary legislation.

“5G is a weapon system, a crime against humanity so monstrous that even an educated person would find it unbelievable on first inspection of the facts. The prima facie evidence of this globalist depopulation agenda is unequivocal and should be tested in the courts so that the conspirators involved in this murderous plan can be brought to justice. This is the greatest crime ever to be perpetrated on mankind and all of God’s creation.”

Who is Mark Steele?

Mark Steele is a British engineer, inventor, patent writer and weapons research scientist.  He has written an extensive biography in the introduction of his February 2022 report on 5G in the context of nanometal-contaminated vaccines.  His biography includes:

“Cyber Command USA had been made aware of my expertise and specifically requested my advice with regard to an unusual 5G antenna design deployed across the USA. I have been extremely fortunate that most (but not all) of my research and product development work has been carried out outside of the Official Secrets Acts (OSA) legislation. I have acted as a witness and provided statements in several court cases, exposing the lack of any credible evidence that the 5G light-emitting diode (LED) network and planned neural connection to the 5G grid are safe. This includes nano metamaterial technologies that are contaminating vaccinations, that are not legal or lawful, and that breach a number of international and domestic laws.”

However, his highest accolade, for those who are aware of the globalist propaganda machine, comes from Wikipedia which has as its opening gambit: “Mark Steele is a British conspiracy theorist.”

Steele prepared his February 2022 report at the request of “international lawyers.”  His report is packed with information, detailing a wide range of 5G-related topics including radiation-induced Covid-19 symptoms, vaccines, augmented humans and a broad range of risks associated with 5G including risks to health, infrastructure and national security.  We have selected a mere three of the numerous points Steele makes in his report and, using the links he provided, expanded on them.

5G and Aviation Risks

Towards the end of last year, the aviation industry, including Boeing and Airbus, raised concerns over 5G due to its capability to endanger passenger aircraft.  Airbus Americas chief executive, Jeff Knittel, and the Boeing boss, David Calhoun, co-signed a letter to the US transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, detailing the US aviation industry’s shared concerns over 5G implementation in the United States.

“Airbus and Boeing have been working with other aviation industry stakeholders in the US to understand potential 5G interference with radio altimeters,” which measure a plane’s height above the ground, the statement said.

Leading telecom operators Verizon and AT&T were due to start using 3.7-3.8 GHz frequency bands on 5 December, after obtaining licences worth billions of dollars in February.

But they postponed the launch in November after the US aviation regulator expressed concerns over 5G signals’ possible interference with the altimeters.

Airbus and Boeing express concerns over 5G interference in US, The Guardian, 21 December 2021

“Typically, the 5G antenna design uses a larger power input and directed output to deliver focused, high-power data compression signals,” Steele explained, “passenger aircraft that do not have the military mitigation technologies in a civilian setting to protect their pilots or aeroplane flight control systems against directed energy emissions.”

5G and Privacy Violations

Steele explained “Backhaul,” or “wireless transport,” in the context of 5G as the term used for the technologies that enable data to be interrogated and uplifted from multiple devices and environments simultaneously.

Ceragon Networks “is the global innovator and leading solutions provider of 5G wireless transport.”  Quoting a 2020 Ericsson 5G microwave report, Ceragon states that about 38% of all global telecom sites will be connected to the rest of the network via wireless backhaul, by 2025. This corresponds to 62% when excluding the fibre-dense countries China, South Korea and Japan.

Ericsson Microwave Outlook 2020, Enhancing 5G with microwave, October 2020

An example of backhaul technology that Steele gave in his report, is THIS patent for a “technique and device for through-the-wall audio surveillance” filed by NASA in 2005.  This particular patent was later abandoned but the patent’s citations to other patents may be interesting to those who wish to investigate a little deeper.

Technique and device for through-the-wall audio surveillance, US20050220310A1

“This patent, one of a number that confirms the capability to interrogate sound and voice emissions through buildings to gather data on an unsuspecting population using electromagnetic hardware and software systems, are all part of the vast 5G toolbox,” Steele noted in his report.

5G and Health Impacts

5G deployment is underway by governments across the world in all cities and towns without any of the obligatory prior environmental impact analysis or public insurance for instruments of harm, Steele wrote.

In a previous article, we wrote about the UK government’s contempt towards 5G health impacts implying that any suggestion there were health risks are “5G conspiracy theories.”  However, to the UK government’s shame, it is yet again to be proved wrong.

In 2010 Lloyd’s Risk Assessment Team published a report, ‘Electromagnetic fields from mobile phones: recent developments’. “Due to the potential long-term impacts of EMF exposure on health, there are so far no definitive conclusions as to whether EMF is harmful or not,” Lloyd’s stated.  Lloyd’s report concluded:

Lloyd’s Emerging Risks Team Report: Electromagnetic fields from mobile phones, recent developments, November 2010

In 2019 Principia Scientific reported that Lloyds of London had excluded from their policies any negative health effects caused by wi-fi technologies. And other insurance companies were following Lloyds’ lead.  Why?

“Lloyd’s November 2010 Risk Assessment Team’s Report gives us a solid clue: the report compares these wireless technologies with asbestos, in that the early research on asbestos was ‘inconclusive’ and only later did it become obvious to anyone paying attention that asbestos causes cancer.

“Today, MANY more recent peer-reviewed scientific studies show a range of serious damage caused by these wi-fi frequencies. 5G brings a quantum leap in damage – to DNA, to cell mitochondria, and much more.”

Lloyds Insurers Refuse To Cover 5G Wi-Fi Illnesses, Principia Scientific, 12 February 2019

In 2012, 29 authors from around the world, including 10 with medical degrees, 21 PhDs and 3 master’s degrees wrote the BioInitiative Report.  The authors concluded:

“Bioeffects are clearly established and occur at very low levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation. Bioeffects can occur in the first few minutes at levels associated with cell and cordless phone use. Bioeffects can also occur from just minutes of exposure to mobile phone masts (cell towers), WI-FI, and wireless utility ‘smart’ meters that produce whole-body exposure. Chronic base station level exposures can result in illness. Many of these bioeffects can reasonably be presumed to result in adverse health effects if the exposures are prolonged or chronic.

“There is good evidence to suggest that many toxic exposures to the foetus and very young child have especially detrimental consequences depending on when they occur during critical phases of growth and development (time windows of critical development), where such exposures may lay the seeds of health harm that develops even decades later.”

The report reviewed approximately 1,800 studies which reported:

  • abnormal gene transcription;

  • genotoxicity and single-and double-strand DNA damage;

  • stress proteins because of the fractal RF-antenna like nature of DNA;

  • chromatin condensation and loss of DNA repair capacity in human stem cells;

  • reduction in free-radical scavengers – particularly melatonin;

  • neurotoxicity in humans and animals, carcinogenicity in humans;

  • serious impacts on human and animal sperm morphology and function;

  • effects on offspring behaviour; and,

  • effects on the brain and cranial bone development in the offspring of animals that are exposed to cell phone radiation during pregnancy.

In the ten years since the 2012 BioInitiative Report was published, hundreds of new peer-reviewed research papers have been published. A clear majority of studies report biological effects (“E”) as opposed to ’no effect’ (“NE”).  On their home page, BioInitiative has summarised the results of 2022 studies.

BioInitiative: Reported Biological Effects, Henry Lai’s Research Summaries

In 2019, the World Health Organisation estimated that approximately 30% of the population in first-world countries is exposed to high levels of electromagnetic frequencies (“EMF”) and succumb to its harmful effects.  And in December 2020, NBC News reported that ‘Havana Syndrome’, the mysterious neurological symptoms experienced by American diplomats in China and Cuba, was likely caused by pulsed microwave energy.

They know. They have always known.  As Steele wrote: “The telecoms industry and other regulatory bodies have continually denied the real purpose and existence of the radiation dangers posed by the deployment of 5G technologies; they have actively misled the public by issuing demonstrably false press releases through local and national media, as well as by making false statements in courts in failed attempts to discredit experts, including myself.”

Covid Pandemic Truths: Safe and Effective Cures are Condemned while Experimental “Vaccines” are Pushed BY RHODA WILSON

As bad as all this is, what’s worse is the alignment of forces being used to prevent safe methods from being used to stop this virus. When it was revealed that early use of hydroxychloroquine could significantly reduce the severity of the disease and prevent the need for a ventilator, reports immediately surfaced from government agencies declaring that the drug was of no use, was dangerous, and should not be used.

This occurred despite reports of hydroxychloroquine’s benefits from doctors actually treating patients. In some states, prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine were banned. We see the same thing with Ivermectin, another highly effective and safe medication.

Attacking The Real Cures

Every time a treatment was discovered that improved Covid patients’ outcomes or prevented transmission of the virus, forces stepped in to prevent the treatment from being used.

A growing number of natural treatments that could have prevented the spread of this virus, including most of the serious infections, have been blocked by these controllers. Incredibly, a law was passed that prevented clinical physicians from even suggesting such treatments. Curcumin, baicalin, apigenin, luteolin, EGCG, myoinositol, ashwagandha, magnesium, docosahexaenoic acid/ eicosapentaenoic acid, high dose IV vitamin C, vitamin D3, melatonin, astragalus, beta-glucan, mushroom extracts, and ashwagandha all enhance a person’s immunity, thus preventing infection.

As I have written, curcumin has been shown to dramatically reduce damage to the lungs caused by cytokine storms in experimental animals of a sepsis model. Nano-curcumin, being far better absorbed, should be even more effective.

Numerous studies have shown that the primary immune weapon against all viruses is the cytotoxic T cells. Astragalus significantly enhances the body’s production of these immune cells.

I recently published an article on how immunoexcitotoxicity plays a major role in cytokine storm reactions. Basically, the inflammatory cytokines activate NMDA glutamate receptors within the lung epithelial and endothelial cells as well as immune cells, leading to severe destruction of lung tissue and gross leakage of serum into the alveoli. In the article, I noted that the typical American diet contains very high levels of glutamate and other excitotoxic additives. In addition, the tube feeding solutions used in hospitals contain high levels of glutamate. This fact is completely ignored by physicians treating Covid patients.

Dr. Pierre Kory, a founder of the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), made a number of discoveries that dramatically improved the survival of patients with serious Covid-19 cases. Unlike many of the vaccine-only proponents, Dr. Kory has spent his professional life treating some of the sickest in intensive care unit (ICU) settings, including hundreds of Covid patients. But each discovery he made was intensely resisted and rejected by the medical elite and bureaucracies, at least until the proof became so overwhelming that they could no longer deny it. In the interim, thousands died as a result of the elite controller’s intransigence. There is evidence that early treatment, before deterioration occurs, can reduce hospitalisation by 85 per cent.

The Strange Case of Ivermectin

Dr. Kory also discovered that ivermectin, a medicine used to treat parasitic infections, was perhaps one of the most powerful weapons we possess in the battle against Covid-19, reducing the death rate of even very sick patients to such a degree that it has been called a medical miracle.

Dr. Kory and his colleagues — all highly respected and frequently quoted pulmonary and infectious disease experts — put together a protocol using this safe, inexpensive medicine and other compounds. (FLCCC Alliance. http://www.flccc.net.) Their protocol has now been used around the world but not in the United States.

Deaths and cases requiring hospitalisation in countries that have used ivermectin — including Mexico, India, Brazil, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Paraguay, Peru, Argentina, Zimbabwe, and major cities in other countries — have been dramatically and rapidly reduced. In addition, recovery times have been shortened, patient deterioration has been prevented when the drug was used early, and mortality has been reduced among severely ill ICU patients.

In fact, when taken once a week, ivermectin has been shown to dramatically prevent Covid infection, even in hospital workers who are around many sick patients. ivermectin has been studied and shown to be highly effective in 27 carefully controlled trials that included 6,612 patients; 16 trials were randomised, prospective, controlled trials of the highest quality. Yet, the medical establishment — the vaccine-only promoters — has rejected even considering this safe, inexpensive medication for the treatment or prevention of Covid.

Worse, doctors, as well as the general public, are warned by medical associations, the FDA and the CDC not to use ivermectin. In some states, doctors can lose their license should they write a prescription for this lifesaving medication, one that has been used safely for the past 40 years all over the world as a treatment for parasitic infections. Besides being a powerful anti-inflammatory and suppressing viral replication ivermectin has been shown to inhibit a major form of excitotoxicity seen in the face of chronic inflammation and microglial activation.

The Role of The Pharmaceutical Companies in Covid-19 Treatments and Fear

It seems to me, and others, that the pharmaceutical companies making these vaccines don’t want a rival treatment that would cut into their profits. In my opinion, these experimental vaccines are being distributed to the public under a false pretence. According to the EUA act, an experimental treatment cannot be used except in a proven national emergency (pandemic), and only if there are no other available treatments for the condition. Keep in mind that the FDA did not approve the drug presently being used by Pfizer — it is still under EUA regulations as an experimental “vaccine.”

Covid-19 never satisfied the criteria for a pandemic, which requires that the infection must affect a large number of people around the world and have a high mortality rate. This pandemic definition has been used for decades — until this outbreak. The World Health Organisation changed the criteria for this “pandemic,” dropping the need for a high death rate.

For the majority of people, the death rate from Covid-19 is lower than that of a mild to moderate flu season. For those under age 40, the death rate is 0.01%; 99.99% of those infected will fully recover. For all ages, the death rate is 0.26%; 99.74% will recover. Those numbers do not justify mandatory vaccination.

On the other hand, eight clinical trials have shown a significant reduction in transmission of Covid-19, even among healthcare workers, with the use of ivermectin. (FLCCC data). Three of those studies were randomised clinical trials — research of the highest order. Based on these studies, the emergency authorisation should be revoked, and vaccination should be stopped before more people are hurt.

More Natural Protections Against Covid

There are a number of other natural treatments and preventatives that could be used by anyone wanting to protect themselves from Covid. The basis for all of these treatments is reducing inflammation, and several natural compounds also restore immune balance. Others are beneficial because they reduce immunoexcitotoxicity, a possible mechanism for cytokine storms.

These compounds include:

  • Nano-curcumin

  • Nano-quercetin

  • N-acetyl-L-cysteine

  • Intravenous Vitamin C (high dose)

  • Melatonin

  • B-complex vitamins

  • Hesperidin

  • Pterostilbene

  • Apigenin

  • Magnesium

  • Taurine

  • Baicalin.

Immune stimulants should only be used during the first 8 days of a Covid infection to prevent aggravating hyperimmune symptoms. This 8-day period is the period when the virus is reproducing very rapidly in the lungs. After 8–11 days, all the viruses are dead, and then the danger is from a hyperimmune reaction to those dead viruses. At this stage, the idea is to target inflammation and excitotoxicity, as live viruses are no longer the chief danger in most cases.

Recent studies have shown that a significant number of fully vaccinated people are contracting (supposedly) Covid-19 infections as in Israel, where virtually everyone has been vaccinated. In a carefully conducted study in Vietnam hospitals, it was shown that the vaccinated medical care workers were spreading high levels of viruses to fellow workers, patients, and visitors. A majority of medical centres and hospitals in the United States have mandated vaccines for all employees, even those not in contact with patients. These studies suggest that the medical staff is now a major source of Covid-19 transmission and are acting as superspreaders.

More than 80% of the Covid-variant cases are in fully vaccinated people, and the latest reports indicate the vaccines are ineffective against variants — hence the call for renewed masking. (CDC report). Ivermectin as a preventive measure has a success rate of around 80 to 85% against Covid-19. Some studies have reported no infections in hospital workers taking ivermectin.

Fear remains the vaccine makers’ main weapon. The latest strategy is to convince the public that second and third waves of new variants will restore the dangers that have subsided since the original appearance of this virus. All these preventive measures should work against any and all variants. And natural immunity to the original virus appears to give a person full protection against the so-called Delta variant.

This type of cross-immunity occurred with the outbreak of the much deadlier SARS virus, 2002–2004, even with 30% viral mutation variance. The Delta variant differs from the original Covid virus genetically by a mere 1.3%.

Vaccination Increases Risk of COVID-19 Infection, But Infection Without Vaccination Gives Immunity: Study By Marina Zhang

Having two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine has been linked with negative protection against symptomatic infection with the disease, scientists say, while a previous infection without vaccination offers around 50 percent immunity, according to a study analyzing the Omicron wave in Qatar.

The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on June 15, examined the Omicron wave in Qatar that occurred from around December 2021 to February 2022, comparing vaccination rates and immunity among more than 100,000 Omicron infected and non-infected individuals.

The authors of the study found that those who had a prior infection but no vaccination had a 46.1 and 50 percent immunity against the two subvariants of the Omicron variant, even at an interval of more than 300 days since the previous infection.

However, individuals who received two doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine but had no previous infection, were found with negative immunity against both BA.1 and BA.2 Omicron subvariants, indicating an increased risk of contracting COVID-19 than an average person without prior infection and vaccination.

Six months after getting two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, immunity against any Omicron infection gradually dropped to -3.4 percent, below an average person without infection and vaccination (control) which would be set at 0.

For two doses of the Moderna vaccine, immunity against any Omicron infection dropped to -10.3 percent after more than six months since the last injection.

The authors reported that three doses of the Pfizer vaccine increased immunity to over 50 percent. However, considering that immunity was measured at only 42 days after the third vaccination, this is a very rapid immune decline over a short time period.

In comparison, previous infection gave 50 percent immunity, even over 300 days after the infection, which is a far longer period of protection.

Immunity levels for two COVID-19 vaccines fell to negative figures 270 days after the second dose of vaccine. These numbers predict a trend of more rapidly waning immunity for vaccines compared to immunity from infections.

The findings are supported by another recent study from Israel that also found natural immunity waned significantly more slowly compared to artificial, or vaccinated, immunity.

The study found that both natural and artificial immunity waned over time.

Individuals that were previously infected but not vaccinated had half the risks of reinfection as compared to those that were vaccinated with two doses but not infected.

“Natural immunity wins again,” Dr. Martin Adel Makary, a public policy researcher at Johns Hopkins University, wrote on Twitter, referring to the Israeli study.

“Among persons who had been previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, protection against reinfection decreased as the time increased,” the authors concluded, “however, this protection was higher” than protection conferred in the same time interval through two doses of the vaccine.
