Most of these activities have been carried out in the shadows using judo-like tactics so as not to attract suspicion from the clueless Unipolar Globalists.

That is … until now.

My sources inside the Kremlin have confirmed and reconfirmed that Trump’s “intention” of terminating Washington’s membership in the WHO has compelled this secretive group of turbo-patriots to go public with their carefully executed plan.

Buckle up because the game is about to change. This time for real, though.

Is your seatbelt on?

State Duma Chairman and certified mega-patriot Vyacheslav Volodin fired the opening salvo in the war of LIGHT vs DARKNESS:

The gloves are off. Volodin EVISCERATED Washington for “looking out for [its] own interests” and not caring about global health:

It was the US that started the WHO, and now they’ve left. This again is them looking out for their own interests. Don’t think they are concerned about the health of the people of the world.

check and mate.

But then Volodin activated BEAST MODE:

“Many countries that longingly looked up to them and did everything Washington said could end up hostage to Washington’s policies,” Volodin noted.

At the same time, according to him, Russia “does not bend to the changing world and the policies of the United States of America.”

The head of Russia’s lower house of parliament reminded his fellow patriots that Russia’s president “will defend the interests of our state just as he did in the most difficult years before.”

That’s really what differentiates Russia from the Collective West. In Russia, an adult is in the driver’s seat.

But we’re getting side-tracked.

Alexei Kurinny, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Health Protection, dropped a massive TRUTH BOMB in response to Trump’s executive order:

This is what responsible statecraft looks like:

In terms of funding, there will be something serious. Because the United States is about a third of the WHO budget revenue. Therefore, a number of programs, including those of a global nature, will have to be cut to provide medical care to underdeveloped countries.

Devastating. Bill Gates will have to sleep with one eye open for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile, ungrateful citizens who don’t want to be tormented by health-destroying WHO “guidelines” have been reduced to writing appeals to Russia’s Health Ministry, which along with Russia’s Foreign Ministry—and the entire federal government, actually—remains a committed and faithful servant of the WHO.

Some of these disgruntled anti-Russia Russians have been venting on a popular Russian internet forum. A sampling of recent hate speech:

I’ll never forget the QR-code fascism in Russia in 2021…

Russia will definitely not get out of this shit [withdraw from the WHO], there are too many interested snouts in the government … I would publicly, like robbers, chop off the hands of all sorts of authorities who issued fines for not wearing muzzles, and the degenerates who blackmailed workers to force them to inject poison.

And the top comment:

Ours [Moscow] won’t leave [the WHO]. Because independence and common sense are only in words.

Don’t worry. I have already reported these maliciously truthful comments to the relevant authorities.

Until next time.

An mRNA vaccine that works on all types of cancer has shown promising results in mice, Gamaleya Center director Alexander Gintsburg said in a June 6 interview with Gazeta.ru.

The drug is “being created based on mRNA technologies like the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines”, Gintsburg told the outlet, adding that his institute has its own mRNA platform that doesn’t rely on Western patents. The genetic vaccine will be custom-fit to each individual patient based on the results of tumor biopsies.

When asked about the vaccine’s safety, Gamaleya’s director said that the benefits of mRNA “therapeutic” vaccines outweigh the potential risks—but that the same cannot be said of “preventative” mRNA drugs.

“Preventive vaccines are needed for healthy people, and here mRNA technologies work worse, as they give more side effects. If a person is already sick and fighting cancer, then the benefits of mRNA technology outweigh these side effects,” he claimed.

The vaccine’s development is being supervised at the highest levels of government. According to Gintsburg, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the project seven months ago and instructed his ministers to provide financing from the budget. The mRNA shot has also received “personal” attention from Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko.

The Gamaleya Center announced in September 2022 that it wanted to create its own mRNA coronavirus vaccine. The Center’s deputy director, Denis Logunov, claimed that the advantage of mRNA technology is that it allows for drugs to be administered on a monthly or even daily basis.

He added that mRNA vaccines such as Pfizer or Moderna provide strong immunity after three to four injections.

In May 2023, Logunov said his institute was developing mRNA “canned food” that could be used to rapidly deploy new vaccines when necessary.

Responding to Gintsburg’s interview with Gazeta.ru, State Duma Deputy Mikhail Delyagin observed that Gamaleya’s director enjoys total impunity as he needles the Russian public with unproven genetic slurries:

The results of using Gintsburg’s previous vaccine [Sputnik V] on people are a “trade secret” vigilantly protected by the state.

Let me remind you that the use of Western vaccines (and Gintsburg talked about their similarity with Russian ones), according to data revealed by Western courts and the media, has already led to the premature death of 3 million people—and people continue to die.

When our domestic vaccinators are tired of waiting for the West to declare a new pandemic, they want a new government order for mass experiments on people.

Judging from reactions on Russian social media and internet forums, Delyagin isn’t the only one who is fed up with Gintsburg’s “mass experiments”:

Does this mean that Moscow’s obscenely abusive relationship with the WHO is finally coming to an end? There’s been several false alarms over the past two years but maybe this time it’s not fake news spread by Aussie Cossack? Maybe this time it’s different?

Maybe. Anything is possible. Let’s have a look together.

Take the wheel, RIA Novosti:

“The WHO is an organization that should be feared. It can plunge the world into panic in the blink of an eye—there is no control over it. Its connections with the most active supporters of the ‘thinning’ of humanity are shrouded in darkness,” Pushkov wrote.

The senator noted that all WHO failures are “covered up through powerful PR.”

“As it turned out, the WHO management paid influencers for presenting the ugly work of the WHO during Covid in a favorable light,” says Pushkov.

Dang.

Before I type another sentence, allow me to state the following: I agree with everything Pushkov wrote on Telegram and it’s very cool that RIA Novosti used its state media platform to disseminate his hate speech against Dr. Tedros (The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, every NATO state, and other weirdos and sworn enemies of humanity who fund the WHO’s ruthless campaign of global health murder).

But Pushkov is also a senior-ranking member of Russia’s upper house of parliament, which means that if he really thinks the World Health Organization poses an existential threat to Russia, he could always … I dunno … introduce legislation calling for Moscow’s immediate withdrawal? Or at least politely commission a report about why Moscow should leave the WHO post-haste? These are things he could definitely do, or at least recommend, as a Senator.

Telegram rants are fun but is Pushkov a Russian Senator or a manlet blogger? Because “complaining on Telegram about Russia’s WHO membership” is something Edward Slavsquat would do; one would hope that a powerful alpha male Senator would be able to do more than that?

All of these questions are irrelevant, actually, because Pushkov doesn’t oppose health terrorism; he just resents the fact that Moscow isn’t getting a bigger piece of the WHO’s health terrorism pie.

For example: Here is another fiery Telegram post from Pushkov dated March 14, 2021:

The “safety of the AstraZeneca vaccine” against the backdrop of deaths and thrombosis—is this what they are trying to convince people of? Half of Europe has stopped using it, there is a scandal in the European Commission, and the company gets off with standard excuses.

Pushkov’s solution to this public health scandal? Europe should use Sputnik V, an experimental genetic slurry developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca, which, coincidentally, is also linked to thrombosis and blood clots.

Here’s something else to consider: As Pushkov was writing Telegram tirades against AstraZeneca’s safety record in March 2021, Russian pharmaceutical company R-Pharm was producing AstraZeneca’s “vaccine” and exporting it abroad. This business arrangement continued until September 2022, when R-Pharm suspended production of the British-Swedish clot-shot due to “lack of demand”:

YOUR EYES ARE NOT DECEIVING YOU: RUSSIA WAS PRODUCING ASTRAZENECA’S GENETIC THROMBOSIS GOO UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2022.

Furthermore, the Russian government partnered with AstraZeneca to create the Ultimate Clot-Shot, and has repeatedly defended the “safety and efficacy” of the British-Swedish slurry:

“The British media and government need to do a better job of protecting the reputation of AstraZeneca’s safe and effective vaccine, which competitors are constantly attacking through the media with facts taken out of context,” the Russian Direct Investment Fund, which financed Sputnik V, and partnered with AstraZeneca, and is also headed by a WEF Young Global Leader, said in October 2021. Yeah, leave AstraZeneca alone you monsters!

Pushkov is not against forcing unproven, barely tested genetic slurries on the world’s population. No, he is perfectly fine with that. He just wants Russia’s unproven, barely tested genetic slurry to have a bigger market share.

Anyway, no one could accuse Moscow of being unsportsmanlike during the Race to Protect Public Health. Putin even wished the CEO of AstraZeneca “success not only in the Russian market, but also in global markets.”

Curiously, I can’t find a single comment from Pushkov—on Telegram or while pontificating in the Senate chambers—about the fact that Russia hopped into bed with AstraZeneca, or that Sputnik V is a crude AstraZeneca clone whose clinical trial data has been classified by the Russian Health Ministry as a “trade secret”. Not a single word about any of this—very weird.

It’s nice that Pushkov was so concerned about the safety and well-being of EU citizens subjected to AstraZeneca’s untested genetic sludge, but why weren’t the same safety standards applied to his assessment of Sputnik V? If you’re a Russian Senator, shouldn’t you be focusing your energies on protecting the health of Russians? It’s charming that Pushkov took time out of his busy Russian senator schedule to worry about Westerners being exposed to thrombosis, but what about Russians being needlessly exposed to thrombosis? Oh right, anyone who talked about that was threatened with arrest or losing their right to practice medicine. I don’t know why Moscow and the Collective West are arch-enemies—they’re so similar.

Here’s another illustrative example of Pushkov’s public health worldview: When Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba called Sputnik V a “hybrid weapon” in December 2020, Pushkov responded by saying that Kiev was murdering its own citizens by not allowing them to get injected with Russia’s safe and effective AstraZeneca clone:

Do you see the problem here?

It’s great that Pushkov is so critical of Western clot-shots. But if he is unable to extend this criticism to Russian clot-shots—which are nearly identical to Western clot-shots—then it’s not clear how Russians benefit from their senator’s based-and-red-pilled takedowns of AstraZeneca (which the Russian government partnered with and repeatedly defended, even as people were dropping dead from horrific post-vaccination AstraZeneca side effects).

So, returning to Pushkov’s hatred of the WHO: Is he advocating for public health policies that don’t rely on unproven genetic injections? Or is he just annoyed that Moscow’s unproven genetic injection—which is identical to the Collective West’s unproven genetic injections—isn’t being injected into more arms?

Meanwhile, Moscow continues to enjoy friendly relations with the WHO—and there is literally zero evidence of the federal government even toying with the idea of withdrawing from this awful organization. Zero. None. If you have such evidence, please, please email me and share it. I’m serious.

Hey, look: There is even an Important Russian Government Medical Authority-Expert who serves on the WHO’s One Health (lol) committee-thing:

He studied in London, of course:

Is Pushkov fighting the space lizards or is he promoting a false clot-shot dichotomy? Are we trapped in a Hegelian clot-shot dialectic, in which the thesis (AstraZeneca) locks horns with the antithesis (Sputnik V), a clot-shot battle that resolves in clot-shot synthesis (they are literally the same clot-shot)?

And what is even the point of opposing the WHO if you support the worst policies promoted by the WHO? It’s just sort of weird.

I guess what I’m trying to say is…

Is Russia prepared for the most anticipated public health crisis in WHO-history?

Yes, according to Russia’s Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor).

In a March 9 press release (archived version here for those who can’t access Russian government websites due to Internet Sanctions), the agency announced that Russia’s “preparedness for new viruses” was at “a high level”. Let’s deconstruct this wall of public health word salad together:

Russian specialists are developing new vaccines and testing systems. Rospotrebnadzor employees work with representatives of other countries to quickly identify emerging threats and respond to them in a timely manner.

The opening line of the press release is “don’t worry, we’re creating new genetic slurries and not-fit-for-purpose tests”, followed by an artfully crafted sentence that translates to: “Yes, we are still working very closely with the WHO”. Nice.

Every year, “Disease X” is discussed by the scientific community at well-known forums, congresses and conferences. Thus, on the sidelines of the second session of the National People's Congress of China, experts discussed the risks of the global spread of a new potentially unknown disease — “Disease X”.

Did you know that the head of China’s CDC recently said that “accelerating global climate change” and “expanding human activities” are increasing the likelihood of a Disease X Global Murder-Plague? Here is an article from TASS:

If Disease X is exclusively a Western Davos Pfizer scam, why is China warning that this hypothetical pox will ravage the globe unless we reverse “climate change” and put an end to “expanding human activities”? Curious minds want to know.

Returning to the press release: Rospotrebnadzor is basically saying, “Look, we’ve been discussing Disease X with our esteemed international colleagues for a long time. Everything is under control. As we already mentioned, new injections and nose-swabs are in development. We got this.”

This topic [Disease X] regularly appears in the information space and is beneficial to large pharmaceutical companies, including due to the memory of the coronavirus pandemic.

On the one hand, Rospotrebnadzor is upset that Big Pharma is hyping the hypothetical terrors of Disease X, even though Beijing has reassured everyone that a pandemic can be avoided if we tax carbon. On the other hand, Rospotrebnadzor’s antidote against this terrifying and extremely hypothetical disease is the same as Western Big Pharma’s cure-all (not-fit-for-purpose PCR tests and dangerous genetic slurries). Confused? Don’t be. It’s 2024, my friend.

It’s nice that Rospotrebnadzor doesn’t like pharmaceutical companies creating needless panic among the masses, but naturally one has to ask how this opinion affects policy. It certainly didn’t stop the Russian government from collaborating with AstraZeneca on “Covid vaccines”, and it definitely didn’t stop Russia’s Health Ministry from handing out Remdesivir like candy.

If the Russian government is serious about putting an end to Imaginary Pandemic Panic, I would recommend starting with Russian state media, which publishes frightening Disease X stories that read as if they were copy-pasted from the WEF’s website:

Here’s the final two paragraphs of the TASS think piece cited above:

What countermeasures [against Disease X] have already been implemented?

WHO and partners have established a fund to combat the pandemic. Some countries have already taken advantage of this initiative to improve their domestic epidemiological situation. In addition, work is underway to improve systems tools that can help prevent an international health crisis. Thus, in Africa, a technology transfer center for creating vaccines was organized so that local manufacturers could create medicine for the population on their own. WHO has also created a system for the rapid and effective exchange of existing biological materials that could cause a new pandemic or epidemic. The necessary data can be quickly shared with all countries to develop medical countermeasures and reduce mortality.

According to Ghebreyesus, the most important thing is the international exchange of experience within the framework of the agreement to combat the pandemic. Thanks to this, the experience of each country will be available to the world community to more effectively overcome the crisis.

Vaxxing Africa: check. Sharing “biological materials” with Russia’s trusted Western partners: check. Shilling for the WHO’s Pandemic Preparedness Treaty: check. Everything checks out.

Back to the Rospotrebnadzor press release:

Today in Russia, readiness for new infectious challenges is at a high level. The “Sanitary Shield” anti-infection system is in operation, a network of PCR centers is being developed, and fast, high-tech domestic test systems have been developed. At checkpoints across the state border there is sanitary and quarantine control, as well as AIS “Perimeter”.

There you have it. A “network of PCR centers” is being created so that Russia can immediately resume mass-swabbing when the next Virus arrives.

This blog has already covered the Sanitary Shield program in great detail, but here’s the one-sentence recap: Russia is creating an Iron Curtain of PCR test centers and genetic vaccine dispensaries that will be used to ensure Biosecurity. You can read more about this program here and here.

Meanwhile, the “Perimeter” system ensures that every traveler will be viewed as a potential biohazard. Rospotrebnadzor’s website explains:

AIS “Perimeter” assesses the risks of importing infectious diseases on each flight, as well as provide methodological assistance in the event of epidemiological threats. Registration forms filled out in the Perimeter AIS allow for monitoring and analysis of the sanitary and epidemiological situation at checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation.

Are you excited for checkpoints where your Health is registered and monitored?

Back to the press release, which ends with:

The term “Disease X” has been around for many years. The definition implies an abstract disease caused by an unknown pathogen, and the timing of its appearance is unknown.

Rospotrebnadzor is a bit peeved by all the sensationalism. Russia has the PCR tests. Russia has the vaccines. And the term Disease X has been around for years. Just relax.

Gamaleya Center Director Alexander Gintsburg has called on Russia to develop genetic vaccine prototypes in anticipation of future public health crises.

To avoid another Covid-like pandemic, it is necessary to create a “national collection” of vaccine preparations designed to counter the “characteristics of possible pandemic pathogens”, Gintsburg said in an interview with TASS. Vaccine formulas can be “developed and created using certified and tested technology. Currently in our country such technology … is the technology used to make Sputnik V, that is, the technology of genetically engineered adenoviral vectors,” he explained.

The rapid deployment of vaccine preparations will play a crucial role in fighting a “possible pandemic pathogen, or ‘Disease X’ as they call it in Davos”, Gintsburg said, referring to recent discussions at the World Economic Forum about the arrival of a hypothetical “Disease X”.

The lead scientist behind Sputnik V told TASS that the Covid pandemic had demonstrated how safe and effective vaccines could be created not in decades, but in as little as five months. Ideally, vaccines should be administered to the public 1 to 1.5 months in advance to stop future pandemics from ravaging the population and the economy, Gintsburg said.

Despite Gintsburg’s confidence in his genetic vaccine formula, the Russian government has declined to disclose the results of Sputnik V’s “tested technology”. In January 2022, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Health Protection Alexei Kurinny filed a complaint to the Prosecutor General’s Office about the Ministry of Health’s unwillingness to release Sputnik V’s clinical trial results. The ministry defended its decision by explaining that data about Sputnik V’s safety and efficacy was “confidential and contains information constituting a commercial secret.”

In October 2023, the State Duma Committee on Health Protection rejected a proposed bill authored by Kurinny that would have required drug makers to publish the final results of clinical trials.

In the same month, Gintsburg revealed that Sputnik V was no longer effective against Covid and that the drug’s formula would have to be updated.

TASS reported last week that close to 300,000 doses of the updated vaccine have been shipped to Russia’s regions.

Gamaleya is also developing an updated Covid vaccine for adolescents. On Tuesday, Gintsburg announced that no adverse reactions had been identified while testing the new drug on children ages 12-17.

Under new rules adopted last year by the Russian Ministry of Health, modifications to Sputnik V can receive authorization after being tested on “50 healthy volunteers”. The approval process takes between 16-38 days.

Russian authorities have spoken openly about their intention to continue producing and distributing Sputnik V. In October 2022, Kirill Dmitriev, the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), the main financer of Sputnik V, said RDIF was ready to produce and distribute new versions of the vaccine within two to three months after the appearance of new mutations. Dmitriev, a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader (Class of 2009), worked for Goldman Sachs and McKinsey & Company before taking the reins at RDIF in 2011.

Russia’s Venice of the North is ending the year in style.

TASS has the hot scoops:

The mask regime during mass New Year’s, sports, and cultural events will be introduced in St. Petersburg from December 20. The corresponding resolution was signed by the chief state sanitary doctor for the city of St. Petersburg, Natalia Bashketova.

“Heads of all organizations and institutions, regardless of their form of ownership, when organizing and holding mass New Year’s, sports, and cultural events, must ensure: the use of personal respiratory protection equipment (masks) by employees of organizations and institutions,” the document says.

So in a city of 5.5 million people where people are walking around doing city-stuff and are breathing on each other while waiting in line to buy city-things and are packing themselves into sardine can-sized elevators that take them to their 2-room city-pods, the Curve will be Flattened (again) by requiring government workers to don face diapers during “public events”? Yes. Of course.

As an added public health bonus, educational institutions have been instructed to carry out “morning filters” (утренних фильтров) using mandatory no-contact temperature checks. Employees and students will be subjected to this very necessary filtration process each and every morning. (Don’t worry, this measure is set to expire on…oh actually, it’s “permanent”.)

Thank goodness Sberbank had the foresight to develop no-contact thermometer machine-things that also scan your retinas for terrorism.

Let’s ignore the mountain of scientific literature that shows mass-masking has no measurable benefit and is likely hazardous to your health, especially if you are a youngster.

Instead, let’s briefly wander into a virtual reality Avatar happy land where masks—especially the cloth ones with the Boston Red Sox logo that you touch nonstop and store in your dirty AIDS-filled jeans pocket—are magic air condoms that save your life ten times a day.

How does masking a handful of people in a bustling city of 5.5 million people change anything? Anything at all? Please explain.

I mean, even if you take Public Health at face value—big mistake, but it takes all kinds to make a world!—where is the logic here? Stop and think about that.

What could this possibly mean?

Here is what Mr. Edward Slavsquat typed 1.5 years ago, at a time when the Brightest Intellects of Our Time were telling you that Vladimir Putin had karate-chopped the Virus Scam as part of his master plan to withdraw from the WHO and introduce a gold-backed ruble:

Russia has not defeated the Virus Scam. On the contrary, the scam has become more wanton, shameless and arbitrary. It is being turned on and off like a light switch without even the pretense of trying to safeguard public health. This is a feature, not a bug, of Permanent Biosecurity.

In St. Petersburg you will get arrested immediately for standing on the street alone with a carboard sign because you are spreading the Virus. So, you know…

Is there an internet blog with a better track record? Does the Oracle of Delphi have a Substack?

Actually, the scariest part of all this is the normalization of treating all young people as suspected biohazards. This is truly devastating.

It is sometimes argued, “I will never agree to the New Normal and therefore the New Normal isn’t possible!”

Cool story bro but generations of youngsters are being groomed to accept and violently defend everything that you find distasteful and soul-crushing. Meanwhile, you will die.

Sorry for being so blunt but that’s how it works. If you don’t believe me, just examine the history of cattle-tagging.

I would like to end this internet article by pointing out that the governor of St. Petersburg, Alexander Beglov, is President Skroob’s (the democratically elected leader of Spaceballs) doppelganger.

I am the first Important Internet Person in the world to point this out (not being facetious, this is true) and honestly I consider the Beglov-Skroob connection to be my greatest journalistic accomplishment. By the way, there’s also this:

St. Petersburg “will not return to its former way of life,” Beglov decreed on January 3, 2022, a day after he expanded the city’s [now defunct] QR code regime. “COVID is with us for a long time. Our task is to return the city to its usual business in the conditions of the new normality, to accelerate the transition to a new norm. New restrictions, empowering employers to exclude the unvaccinated from work, new vaccination incentives and ubiquitous QR codes are an important and very timely step in this direction.”

This freak is a United Russia (Uniparty) hardliner, by the way.

The globalists flee in terror! Bill Gates and Dr. Tedros on suicide watch!

More soon. Kisses and hugs.

Screams of anguish echoed through the streets of Russia after Gamaleya Center Director Alexander Gintsburg announced last month that his unproven genetic slurry had “stopped protecting completely” against the Dreaded Virus. The next day, Sputnik V was interred on Red Square in Lenin’s Masonic pyramid. Fifty million Russians waited patiently in an 80 mile-long queue so they could pay their final respects to their beloved, safe and effective AstraZeneca goo.

But then a miracle happened:

On November 8, Sputnik V emerged from its tomb with an efficacy of 90%! From zero to hero, to paraphrase the latest Science from the Gamaleya Center:

The effectiveness of the Sputnik V vaccine with its original antigenic composition against fatal cases of Covid infection is 90%, despite changes in the level of protection against infection due to the emergence of new variants of SARS-CoV-2. This was reported to TASS by [Gamaleya Center important person] Inna Dolzhikova, one of the developers of Sputnik V.

So … the guy who received the Order of Alexander Nevsky for inventing Sputnik V said that his genetic sludge was no match for New Mutations like the Double-Bad Mega Upsilon Variant, and that Russians would have to wait patiently for an “updated” vaccine set for release next year—but then a week later one of his underlings reassured TASS that Sputnik V was actually still safe and effective?

To the pea-brained layman who is not properly trained in Science, all of this sounds a bit confusing. What you don’t understand though is that measuring the effectiveness of an unproven dangerous medical experiment is a tricky business and sometimes the Effectiveness Measuring Tool isn’t properly calibrated. This is what happened exactly three years ago when Sputnik V’s effectiveness increased in order to match the fabricated data of competing clot shots.

On November 9, 2020, Pfizer revealed that interim trial data had shown its slurry to be more than 90% effective. Two days later, Gamaleya issued a statement (tweeted in CAPS LOCK) declaring Sputnik V was 92% effective.

Moderna followed with an exciting announcement on November 16: The Moderna goo was 95% effective!

A week later, Gamaleya reported that a “second interim analysis” of its data showed that actually, Sputnik V is also 95% effective:

Two weeks ago Gintsburg revealed that “from mid-summer 2022, when Omicron 1, 2 and 3 variants appeared, Sputnik V’s efficacy dropped eight times. When Omicron 4 and 5 appeared, efficiency dropped by a factor of 20”.

I know what a few of you—a handful of unwanted readers who are racist against Science—are thinking: How does a health-preserving substance go from 92% effective to 95% effective to 8x less effective to 20x less effective to zero percent effective back up to 90% effective over the course of three years?

Please, let’s not split hairs. Some of us are prematurely balding and need all our hairs intact.

But as a blogger it is my job to tell you what to think and so I will explain how this works, scientifically and mathematically. There is a loophole in what some might call “basic human decency and common sense”, and it’s called public health. 95% effective to 0% effective to 90% effective is public health. Cattle tags are public health. Leaving immobile elderly women suffering from Alzheimer’s to die in a pile of their own feces is public health. Eating pills that result in “toxic liver damage” is public health.

It doesn’t matter how retarded and anti-healthy these things are. They are public health and if you disagree you’re a menace to society and need to be locked up forever.

And thankfully this process of purging the anti-Science fascists is already happening in Russia.

For example, a young man was recently arrested in St. Petersburg for quietly protesting against Russia’s glorious justice system (Ramzan Kadyrov’s son beating up a Russian teenager who was extradited to Chechnya after setting fire to a copy of the Quran). This lone picketer was arrested for endangering public health by violating Covid restrictions that prohibit public gatherings. One guy. In a city full of people walking around doing stuff. Arrested. Because the Virus. Public health.

Then a few weeks later two gentlemen who were “distributing leaflets about helping the [Not-War] front” were detained, again because of public health:

Police disrupted a Limonov Party picket in St. Petersburg

Today, during a single picket from the National Bolsheviks party, Kirill Travkin was detained. Kirill stood with a flag and distributed leaflets about helping the front. National Bolshevik Semyon Debenok, who was nearby and did not take part in the picket, was also detained. The detainees were taken to the 78th police department of St. Petersburg.

The formal reason for Kirill’s detention was violation of covid restrictions (Article 8.6.1 of the Law on Administrative Offenses of St. Petersburg). Detaining a person at a patriotic event for allegedly spreading Covid, while many other public events are taking place in the city, is absurd. The formal reason for Semyon’s detention is not clear to us.

If you think it’s strange that two harmless pro-SMO Nazbol guys were arrested in St. Petersburg for spreading the Virus, you clearly don’t understand Russia. Anyone who is a millimeter to the Right of the Kremlin—or dares to meddle in politics in general—is considered an existential threat to the Russian State, which is actually just a group of oligarchs who like to kill Slavs for fun. (Thank you to Rurik Skywalker for alerting me to these shining examples of public health preservation.)

Where was I going with this? Oh right, public health. You can laugh or you can cry.

Until next time,

Every Russian schoolchild learns about Alexander Gintsburg—the legendary scientist who eradicated Ebola in Ebola-free Guinea in 2017. Everywhere he goes, admirers lay flowers at his feet as they cry out, “Thank you for getting rid of all that nasty Ebola, Alexander Gintsburg!” and also: “Will you autograph my pericarditis?” For he is also the Father of Sputnik V—a minor footnote in his long illustrious career, which among other triumphs includes an embezzlement scandal, and also non-stop failure.

He is a wonderful man. So we were not surprised to read about his wonderful plan to ensure a “line is drawn” to “sharply distinguish” between Sputniked Citizens and No-Jab Vermin:

Izvestia Newspaper: Now we see the highest incidence in the history of the pandemic, about 40 thousand new cases of COVID-19 per day. From your point of view, are there enough restrictive measures?

Gintsburg: Restrictive measures without vaccination are practically useless. They must be combined with a sharp increase in the number of vaccinated. [Moscow Mayor] Sergei Sobyanin said the number of people vaccinated has quadrupled (per day) in the past 10 days . And it should increase 10 times. In this case, according to my rough calculations, it will be possible to overcome this infection in a few months . In addition, a line must be drawn between the vaccinated, that is, people with QR codes, and the unvaccinated. They must be sharply distinguished.

Hours later, President Vladimir Putin awarded Gintsburg the Order of Alexander Nevsky. The honor was bestowed upon the beloved scientist in recognition of his “years-long dedicated work.”

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

Meanwhile, unappreciative Russians have started to grumble about how life-saving digital ID-based apartheid is somehow at odds with Russia’s so-called “Constitution.”

Here’s one of many whiny commentaries currently circulating on Russian social media:

The trend of the last week is, of course, QR codes. As is customary among real fascists, suddenly and without a declaration of war. Now, with the help of this tool, the elimination of all human rights, without exception, will take place, and without exception. Once again, it is worth clarifying that the constitution in our country has ceased to exist. As well as all mechanisms for its alleged protection. The pathetic Constitutional Court is now just a detail of the interior of the historic Senate building and a place where they receive fantastic salaries just for nothing.

Of course, the technology will be introduced gradually, it will be tested, but the goal remains quite obvious - segregation and apartheid. A person who does not have a QR code loses all civil rights.
