    Swedish Study Links Declining Fertility Rates to COVID Jab Roll Out

    Dr. Michael Yeadon

    Media have absolutely no business not referencing this study now. The authors do not equivocate like they usually do, but rule out other causes than c19 vaccination.

    Worse, when media reinforces the official lie that the c19 “vaccines” are safe in pregnancy, they’re lying in the most despicable manner.

    Women & girls: trusted media, the medical profession & the establishment are all lying to you in ways that can impact fertility & likelihood of a joyful, life birth.

    I’m just appalled by this.

    “ We show that the seasonally adjusted monthly TFR of Germany dropped from 1.5-1.6 in 2021 to 1.3-1.4 in early 2022, a decline of about 14 %. In Sweden, the corresponding TFR dropped from about 1.7 in 2021 to 1.5-1.6 in early 2022, a decline of almost 10 %. There is no association of the fertility trends with changes in unemployment, infection rates, or COVID-19 deaths. However, there is a strong association between the onset of vaccination programmes and the fertility decline nine months after of this onset.”

    Unabated Carbon Is Shrinking Earth’s Upper Atmosphere, Scientists Warn

    Rising levels of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere could exacerbate efforts to clean up our increasingly cluttered shell of orbiting space junk.

    According to two new studies, the greenhouse gas has significantly contributed to the contraction of the upper atmosphere. This contraction has been hypothesized for decades; now, for the first time, it’s been actually observed.

    Some of the observed shrinkage is normal, and will bounce back; but the contribution made by CO2 is, scientists say, probably permanent.

    This means that defunct satellites and other bits of old technology in low Earth orbit is likely to remain in place longer due to the reduction of atmospheric drag, cluttering up the region and causing problems for newer satellites and space observations.

    “One consequence is satellites will stay up longer, which is great, because people want their satellites to stay up,” explains geospace scientist Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center.

    “But debris will also stay up longer and likely increase the probability that satellites and other valuable space objects will need to adjust their path to avoid collisions.”

      Cursed with a memory.

      From earlier this year: http://www.space.com/satellites-falling-off-sky-solar-weather

      Wild solar weather is causing satellites to plummet from orbit. It’s only going to get worse.
      By Tereza Pultarova last updated June 25, 2022
      The change coincided with the onset of the new solar cycle, and experts think it might be the beginning of some difficult years.

      Cleaning up orbits
      While the harsh solar activity is bad news for satellite operators, who will see the lifetimes of their missions shortened (even satellites with onboard propulsion will run out of fuel much faster because of the need for frequent altitude boosts), the situation will have some welcome purifying effects on the space around Earth

    Australian consumers dubious about government’s cyber security capabilities

    A study of 1,504 Australians has found customers feel left out of the debate on cyber attacks, data security, and have low confidence in national efforts to keep pace with threats.

    The study analysed the responses of Australian focus groups surveyed in 2020 to investigate sentiments on institutional trust, understanding of resilience, digital literacy and perceptions of cyber threats.

    Research co-author associate professor Robert Manwaring said the findings highlighted the gap between citizens’ knowledge and engagement and the broad response to cyber threats from top-down, technocratic and elite-driven agencies.

    “There’s generally little meaningful strategic effort to engage citizens in government-led responses, overlooking what’s often called the ‘social layer’ of cybersecurity,” he explained.

    “We need to encourage a genuinely whole-of-society approach — something which like Sweden and Finland are making considerable inroads.”

    https://www.themandarin.com.au/205847-australian-consumers-dubious-about-governments-cyber-security-capabilities/

    Citizens don’t need to think. That’s why we have the government – to do it for us!
    Scroll forward 6 months in the JC2 crystal ball and see how they manage to screw it up…

    Every baby born will be issued with Digital ID – timeline ID4D

    Under the guise of ‘inclusivity and equality’ Every baby born will be issued with Digital ID.

    Yes, they are planning to start forcing governments to issue Digital IDs for when people are born. This is not a social security number or birth certificate. This is a Digital Identification that you will have the rest of your life. A bar code that encapsulates ALL of your information. That includes making money, banking, education and your continued compliance in an enslavement system.

      I once wrote a piece of software called God but I’m making no claims.

      Ayyadurai is notable for his widely disputed claim of being the “inventor of email”.[77] His claim is based on an electronic mail software called “EMAIL”, an implementation of interoffice email system, which he wrote as a 14-year-old student at Livingston High School, New Jersey in 1979

      In 1971 the first ARPANET network mail was sent, introducing the now-familiar address syntax with the ‘@’ symbol designating the user’s system address.[25] Over a series of RFCs, conventions were refined for sending mail messages over the File Transfer Protocol.

      DEC’s ALL-IN-1 and Hewlett-Packard’s HPMAIL (later HP DeskManager) were released in 1982; development work on the former began in the late 1970s and the latter became the world’s largest selling email system.[29][30]

      The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) protocol was implemented on the ARPANET in 1983. LAN email systems emerged in the mid 1980s.

          “Actually IBM has PROFS email well entrenched around the world by 1980.”

          True, it ran on IBM’s VM/CMS operating system. They also had DISOSS for their MVS operating system. I can’t speak to PROFS, but I supported DISOSS for several years and it was a buggy piece of software for which we got a seemingly endless series of PTFs (Program Temporary Fix) from IBM which often broke more things than they fixed. DISOSS was phased-out in most IBM MVS shops when IBM purchased Lotus Notes in 1985 but IBM later sold Lotus Notes to HCL in 2018, so I am not sure what IBM shops use for Email these days.

    6G, tbe IOB – Internet Of Bodies

    Digital identity, digital twins, programmable central bank digital currency (CBDC), a social credit system, human augmentation and the Internet of Bodies (IoB). These are all part of the dystopian future being rolled out by the globalist cabal as the “solutions” to the world’s problems.

    Transhumanism has long been sold as a way to make us healthier and, eventually, immortal. Today, it’s being promoted under The Great Reset banner of “equity.” The propaganda is that everyone will benefit from human augmentation, from the richest to the poorest. In reality, transhumanism is a eugenics program, differing in name only.

    The BBC is lying again.

    BBC 22 Nov 2022 :

    Scientists have revealed a 43% decline in a large Adélie penguin population off the east Antarctic coast over the past decade.
    It’s believed several years of extensive ice near the penguin colony was the trigger – despite an overall reduction of ice around Antarctica.
    [my bold]

    NASA 17 Oct 2022 :
    A satellite-based data record starting in late 1978 shows that indeed rapid changes have been occurring in the Arctic, where the ice coverage has been declining at a substantial rate. In contrast, in the Antarctic the sea ice coverage has been increasing although at a lesser rate than the decreases in the Arctic.

    It never ceases to amaze me how Leftists think warming is a bad thing, even if it were true that it was happening, and yet people, most animals (except cold-adapted ones) and food crops (including grasses for herbivorous livestock), LOVE THE WARMTH.

    Furthermore, those of us who identify as H. sapiens go to considerable amounts of trouble and money to vacation in warm places (unless for cold weather sports like snow skiing).

    And if Leftists knew any history they’d know that civilisation thrived during the naturally warm periods of recorded history such as the Minoan (if you can work out how to decipher Linear A), Egyptian, Roman and Medieval Warm Periods (the latter of which has been or soon will be written out of history).

    The only thing to worry about is civilisation-destroying cold as commentators above mention.

    Warming is wonderful. Too bad it’s not happening.

      Listening to the local greens candidate he declared that at 0.5 degrees warming look at the catestrophic flooding that is caused and, in his words “imagine what it will be like when we reach 1.5 degrees”
      Asbolutely no knowledge of history, just believes in a “climate emergency” and blames all weather events on this. While all the flooding in Victoria was predicted to be the worst ever recorded, this narrative just vanished when the flood heights just hovered around previously recorded highs. No one asks what has changed in the last 150 years that alters flood heights. Levies, tree removal, stream flows straightened, roadways even houses on floodplains will all alter the way water flows, but hey its only climate change NOTHING ELSE

      I wish more research would be done on this topic of how bad is warming anyway. But of course, that won’t happen. For the life of me I cannot understand what Canadians fear from warming. I’d suggest they would be the richest country in the world should it warm significantly. Massive amount of land under ice there.

      As you say, cold is the biggest problem life forms face, and requires huge amounts of energy to combat. Even if temperature did rise, it is the assured answer to their dream of lowering energy usage.

      I’m convinced it would be a huge benefit to the ecology. There would be costs of course there always is with any dynamic system. But crocodiles in the arctic waters does not scare me at all. So many areas where life would boom without that long freeze of death and hibernation each year. Especially since apparently most warming takes place towards the poles. It’s the perfect solution to the world’s problems.

      If CO2 is the climate control knob, turn it up!

    ” The national security reporter, James LaPorta, was dismissed after being deemed primarily responsible for a November 15 news bulletin that erroneously said Russian missiles had carried out the strike, according to people at the AP familiar with the decision. They asked for anonymity to talk about personnel matters and internal operations. ”

      He was merely reporting what Zelensky said…

      “Trust in the AP and trust in our report is paramount.”” Well, its a laugh a minute in mainstream media, I have trouble thinking of a written statement more untrue than that absolute rubbish! I feel they are trusting the readers to be unthinking and particularly stupid enough to swallow anything.

      “The incident is a particularly vivid reminder – given the potential consequences – of the need for journalists to take care in “fog of war” situations, said William Muck, a political science professor at North Central College in Illinois.”

      …and none of this was in evidence when they blamed Russia for the Bucha “massacre”, or for attacking Mariupol.

      It’s a big “so what” Gee Aye. Has he done any more than show CO2 is a greenhouse gas and has increased which — newsflash — skeptics agree with?

      He has not shown whether the energy is escaping through other avenues thus rendering the “trapping” by CO2 to be a meaningless minor shift. The whole spectrum matters, not just the CO2 parts. He’s updated Harries et al, which we already knew.

      He hasn’t found the hot spot. He hasn’t shown the climate models have all the relevant forcing factors, that they work on the upper troposphere, the Antarctic, or polar amplification, or rainfall, or drought, or storms…

          ps.. Of course, he couldn’t include that graph in his paper, if he wanted to get published.

          40

    • #

      Yes, the measurements have resolved the fact that the tiny decrease (as shown by his measurements) in outgoing radiation in the weak CO2 band, is more than compensated by the radiation through the atmospheric window.

      No models needed.. Just data !!

      40

    • #
      b.nice

      And seriously.. “clear sky” conditions.. that’s a point of non-science right there

      The natural warming of the atmosphere by solar energy over the last 50 or so years means “clear sky” conditions hold more water vapour.

      The measurements are basically irrelevant to any warming or cooling.

      And of course, such a tiny radiative change, even if not compensated for (which it is), has zero relevance, because the energy transfer through the atmosphere is controlled by pressure and temperature gradients.

      40

    • #
      b.nice

      I don’t think GA realises just how “weak” CO2 radiation is.

      It is measured by absorption at TOA, because to measure it by its actual radiation to the surface requires very special super-cooled sensors. (as in Feldman 20??)

      You actually have to create the sensor conditions of extreme cold, to measure it.

      So much for warming 😉

      Is that the NASA satellite showing increased long wave radiation to space? They claim that that “proves” global warming.
      Basic thermodynamics states that more energy into an isolated system results in more energy being radiated out. Now all they have to do is produce ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS that more heat is coming in (so the Earth warms) or that there has been a reduction in energy escaping to space (both of which they deny).

        Somewhere I have a graph that shows the outgoing radiation tracks with the UAH TLT data.. as physics would dictate. (I’ll find it in the morning)

        No energy is being “trapped”… that is a total furphy !

        10

    • #
      b.nice

      What the paper actually shows is that climate models not only over-calculate the absorption by CO2 by a significant amount…

      … but you can absolutely bet they take no account of the increased radiation measured through the atmospheric window.

      We also know they don’t cope with ENSO, Sun, UV, clouds and a myriad of other far more important things than a minor trace gas.

      Its just another indication that the models have basically NOTHING correct !

      Thanks for bringing that to people’s attention, GA.

      The whole radiation balance idea depends upon earth being an isolated closed system that can only receive or radiate energy significantly as EMR at light frequencies. This theory holds itself up by it’s own bootlaces by rounding all other effects and unknowns down to nothing then ignoring them. My theory is always doubt any complicated calculation presented as close to perfectly correct.
      Application of the radiation balance methods to giant planets is produced very very large differences in temperature to measurements. They called it the gas giant “energy crisis”.
      In this video Anton Petrov discusses recent findings from watching heatwaves on Jupiter.

      Here for those who prefer to read, the same topic from EOS.

      Because it’s so far from the Sun, receiving less than 4% of the sunlight that Earth gets, temperature models predict that the highest part of Jupiter’s cloud layers should be -70?. Researchers who presented findings at the Europlanet Science Congress 2022, however, measured them at more than 400°C.

      Gee Aye

      a few things in the paper.

      0.360±0.026 Wm−2 is the increase in two decades. It’s about 0.1% of the radiation from the Sun. If you look at figure 5, it’s far from an even profile with latitude. I’m not sure that the error should be so small and not confident that it truly is an objective measure.

      CO2 can absorb more radiation without warming of the surface.

      “Increased emission in the atmospheric window 800-1000 cm−1
      is consistent with ≈0.3◦C/decade surface warming.” It doesn’t prove it, while HadCRUT4 has the trend from 2001 at half of that. Something is amiss.

    NBN is such a disaster that my ISP is encouraging people to move to 5G broadband.

    That’s why politicians shouldn’t be allowed to make engineering decisions.

    Unfortunately government anticipated that their disastrous NBN system would be circumvented by the free market and introduced legislation for a “5G data tax”.

    The legislation is there but they haven’t yet implemented the tax. I guess they will if too many people abandon NBN.

      I only have experience of the tower version, very close to tower and yeah it’s pretty bad, useless for uploading at the basic plan cost, but takes care of everyone’s streaming needs and that’s all most households use it for. So, I wouldn’t say it’s that bad.

      But I couldn’t stream for virtual car racing for example, transfer is just not quick enough. Annoying because I was going to get into it to waste time.

        Phillip:
        In a previous residence I tried to get NBN. The technicians couldn’t connect me, despite the phone cable running to the end of my drive. 2 futher sets of technicians came (at long intervals) and the first identified the problem (a misconnection in the junction box) but he couldn’t report that for fear of being disciplined, The third advised me to use 4G (which I had already switched to, partly because my phone line didn’t work anymore either).
        A friend working from home ended up suing Telstra as the NBN supplier for 6 months very poor service some years ago. Finally got a response.
        In my current retirement village practically no-one bothers to get NBN. Possibly some might switch to 5G which is being heavily advertised recently; I have my doubts. Telstra 4G connection here is quite good, minimal disruptions. How it goes out in the country I don’t know as I couldn’t get a signal for my phone in 2015 when 16 kilometres from Bendigo, let alone places more remote from Melbourne. Locally Optus is OK although it was very slow during the bad weather 10 days ago. Vodafone is/was a bad joke locally but new tower might have improved then.
        The one supplier of NBN that I have heard nothing but good about was Aussie Broadband. I haven’t used their service so cannot quote personal experience but multiple people I know switched to them (after others) and were happy.

          I’m in a small country town in the mid Hunter.

          I’m on NBN fiber to the node (about 1/2km away.) and a new connection which was ready to go just when I needed it.

          I get 34Mpbs down and 6Mpbs up

          Plenty enough for my needs.

    As time moves on, six months now since the May 2022 election, Albanese Labor is racking up errors of judgement faster than Rudd Labor did from November 2007 election.

      Yeah – some choice.

      The stupidity born of know-it-all arrogance by Rudd, Gillard and Albanese,
      or the deliberate, planned destruction of the middle class by Abbot, Turnbull and Morrison.

      Of course, when it comes to actually murdering the population wholesale, Morrison has no equal.

        Hanrahan,

        It never ceases to amaze me that people can continue to think there is some kind of difference between the two – that somehow or other one lot of these self-serving, cheating, lying, corrupt quislings are in some way preferable to the other.

          If there is no difference why would Dennis make the post above?

          You fair weather conservatives reject the good because they aren’t perfect and console yourselves for the poor outcome with the false premise that there is no difference between the two major parties anyway. A wimp’s way out. Support good candidates, reelect them and you might get a better quality candidate in the adjoining electorate.

          Ever met a lefty say he was going to vote lib because…..? Nor have I.

            “reject the good because they aren’t perfect”

            So you have a really good opposition party in OZ?
            I’m skeptical.

            If they come from the political class, i.e. NOT from amongst the rank and file, then it’s axiomatic that they’re no bloody good, and our job doesn’t get any easier , or different.
            Our job , of course , is to keep the bars tards honest.
            That’s not possible if we only elect members of the political class.

    Astounding Propaganda Piece Just Published in Biomedicine Taipei Shows the Extent of Pseudoscience, One of the Last Straws in the Loss of Scientific Integrity.

    Heart attacks, strokes and blood clotting seen around the time of Covid-19 Vaccination are described as being caused by anxiety triggered vasoconstriction in turn caused by antivax messaging.

    Written by Raymond D Palmer, Chief Science Officer at Full Spectrum Biologics on 22 November 2021, published in Biomedicine Taipei in September 2022, and shared via NIH, this classic should be downloaded and saved!

    It will go singularly as one of the lowest points in “medical science” in history! There is no more science, there is only farce and posturing and blaming the victims (for being anxious and causing their own severe outcomes) and antivaxer messaging for causing that anxiety!

    At superficial face value it could be logical! It blames antivax messaging for causing extreme mental stress and anxiety in vaccine recipients at the time they are injected. It claims that this same anxiety will cause vasoconstriction that will in turn trigger heart attacks, strokes and blood clotting, loss of taste and smell, among others.

    It calls heart attacks strokes and blood clotting “perceived side effects”. It proposes the use of anticoagulants and vasodilators prior to vaccination in subjects with a history of heart disease, obesity, poor health, combined with extreme stress or fear of vaccines!

    Yes, heart attacks are your own fault.
    But only if you’ve had the vaxx…

      This fails at the first hurdle. One needs to actively seek out the anti-vax message. Anyone smug under their face diaper and only reading the blue birds on twitter would not be exposed, thus not anxious.

      Seems rather than misinformation, it just reflected the fact that in the entire body of published papers you can find total garbled contradiction!

    It looks like a reduction in clouds could be the reason for our slight global warming over the last 45 years.
    All of this article is based on many recent peer reviewed studies and the actual data.
