First peer-reviewed results of phase 3 human trials of Oxford coronavirus vaccine demonstrate efficacy

. These data indicate that the low dose / standard dose vaccine may provide a protection against asymptomatic infection, but stress that these data are at an early phase, with too high a level of uncertainty to be certain that this vaccine will protect against asymptomatic infection.

Safety and immunogenicity of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine administered in a prime-boost regimen in young and old adults (COV002): a single-blind, randomised, controlled, phase 2/3 trial

ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 appears to be better tolerated in older adults than in younger adults and has similar immunogenicity across all age groups after a boost dose.

Oxford confirms its Covid vaccine is 70% effective and safe – but scientists warn regulators face ‚dilemma‘ in approving jab to be given as 1.5 doses (which they accidentally found is 90% protective)

The MHRA has been considering whether to approve the vaccine since November 27 and is expected to reach a decision before the end of the year.

UK and EU reach deal on Northern Ireland as Government DROPS controversial law breaking Withdrawal Agreement in key step towards a final Brexit deal – but PM warns he WON‘T cave in on sovereignty

The announcement is evidence of some much-needed goodwill as the sides seem deadlocked on fishing rights, state aid rules and enforcement.

It effectively means all the ‚loose ends‘ left to be resolved after the divorce agreement are tied up.

However, the broader standoff shows little sign of easing ahead of a crucial face-to-face meeting between Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen, with the EU trolling that it is ready to negotiate again next year after no deal chaos.

Debatte in der Koalition: Bewaffnung von Drohnen wieder in der Schwebe

Unter unabhängigen Beobachtern gibt es nur wenige, die bezweifeln, dass das Thema Drohnen-Bewaffnung hinlänglich ausdiskutiert sei: Seit dem Jahr 2013 wird darüber gestritten. In diesem Jahr gab es – wie vom Koalitionsvertrag vorgesehen – eine Reihe von Debatten, Vorträgen und eine öffentliche Anhörung im Verteidigungsausschuss.

The Berlin authorities are waging war on Berliners

The other is that too few, until now, are ready to oppose openly the government’s strict new regulations – even in freedom-loving Berlin. Of course, there is a reason for that. For months, those protesting against the lockdowns have been equated with the far right by many media outlets and assorted politicians. This despite a recent study revealing that most participants are not right-wing at all. There have even been calls to have Querdenken, the outfit that has been organising the big anti-lockdown demonstrations, put under observation by Germany’s secret service, the Verfassungsschutz.

As a result, anyone voicing anger over the lockdown risks being discredited as a Covid denier or a right-wing conspiracy theorist. I

Anything that poses a threat to the ability of mainstream media corporations and their employees to monopolize discourse and control information — Patreon, Substack, Joe Rogan, WikiLeaks, social media, etc. — they will hate and wage war on to try to either demonize or control.

Bericht zur Coronalage vom 07.12.2020: Wielers Offenbarungseid

Ehrlich gesagt, fehlen mir fast die Worte. Lothar Wieler ist der Leiter des Robert-Koch-Instituts (RKI), also der Behörde, die genau dazu da ist, die Regierung im Pandemiefall kompetent und seriös zu beraten. Lothar Wieler gab am 3.12. eine Pressekonferenz zur Coronalage, die ein weiteres Dokument der Panikmache statt beruhigender Jahresvergleiche darstellt. Dieser Ausschnitt daraus von 50 Sekunden Länge (oben auch eingebettet), in dem es um das Thema Impfung geht, ist der finale Offenbarungseid, denn ganz offensichtlich hat der Leiter des RKI den Verstand verloren.

Die Propagandisten des permanenten Ausnahme-Zustands

Man muss wohl von einer Pseudomorphose der Demokratie sprechen. Die formalen Strukturen bestehen noch, aber es ist längst ein neuer Geist eingezogen. Und gerade die Aktivisten sehen in der Demokratie ein Auslaufmodell. Das gilt nicht nur für die übergriffigen Klimanotstands-Aktivisten, sondern auch für die Propagandisten des permanenten Ausnahmezustands der Pandemie. Das gilt vor allem aber für den globalen Paternalismus der Davos-Menschen, die mit ihrem “Great Reset” im Schatten von Corona eine Weltrevolution von oben planen.

After the Deep State Sabotaged His Presidential Bid, Bernie Sanders Mocks Those Who Believe it Exists

Also ridiculing „rigged elections“ and „fake news“ — two other weapons used on him — the Vermont Senator‘s relationship to the Democratic Party descends from loyal support to abject subservience.

In An Insane World, Revolution Is The Moderate Position

Simply advocating sanity over insanity gets you shoved out of sight and out of mind by the narrative managers responsible for preserving a world order that is stark raving insane from top to bottom. If you oppose the systems exploited by the ruling power establishment which murders, exploits and oppresses people at home and abroad all day every day while destroying the very ecosystem we depend on for survival, then you are branded a lunatic and your wrongthink quarantined so as not to infect the mainstream herd.

This dynamic is made possible by the fact that the powerful are constantly pouring their wealth and influence into manufacturing the collective delusion that madness is sanity and sickness is health.

New Covid-19 stay-at-home orders set to take effect Sunday night for millions of Californians

Some 27 million people in the Southern California and San Joaquin Valley regions will be affected after both regions triggered a mandate issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom last week requiring new restrictions if a region‘s hospital intensive care unit capacity drops below 15%.
