Indoor Vaccine Mandates in US Cities, Vaccination Behavior, and COVID-19 Outcomes

During the pandemic, many of the largest cities in the United States introduced vaccine mandates. Their goal? To increase the number of people being vaccinated, thereby limiting the spread of COVID-19.

In “Indoor Vaccine Mandates in US Cities, Vaccination Behavior, and COVID-19 Outcomes,” Vitor Melo, Elijah Neilson, and Dorothy Kemboi question the efficacy of these efforts in nine cities that implemented the mandates: Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington DC.

Intended and Unintended Effects of Indoor Vaccine Mandates

City vaccine mandates were arguably among the most restrictive and polarizing regulations ever enacted in the United States. Millions of people were prevented from entering restaurants, bars, gyms, theaters, sports arenas, and other public indoor areas without proof of COVID-19 vaccination. The mandates negatively affected unvaccinated individuals and businesses that were not allowed to serve unvaccinated customers.

In New York City, for example:

  • More than 90 percent of restaurants reported having customer-related challenges, such as losing customers who objected to the mandate.
  • Three-quarters of restaurants reported staff-related challenges because of the city’s vaccine mandate.
  • 1,430 city workers were fired for failing to comply with the mandate.

Previous research has shown that similar country-level mandates increased vaccine uptake substantially. However, city-level mandates are easier to evade than country-level mandates because it is generally easier to travel to a neighboring city that does not have a mandate than to cross national borders.

Cost-Benefit Analysis

Most supporters of the regulations claim that the benefits associated with the increase in vaccination rates as a result of the mandate—and its implied reduction in the spread of COVID-19—outweigh the costs of its disruptions. However, the authors find that indoor vaccine mandates had no significant impact on COVID-19 vaccine uptake, cases, or deaths across all nine cities that implemented the policy.

Key Takeaway

Public health restrictions and regulations were widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic, and so understanding their consequences is essential. The authors find that city-level mandates had smaller effect on vaccine uptake (and consequently on COVID-19 cases and deaths) than nationwide mandates— and thus failed to achieve their intended objectives.

We now know that instituting indoor vaccine mandates was almost certainly counterproductive. May that lesson not be soon forgotten. ~ Vitor Melo, study author

**Comment**

This paper ignores a key fact: the experimental gene therapy injections do not stop infection or transmission and are linked to more reports of adverse reactions and death than any other vaccines in the history of VAERS, making all of this null and void. In fact, according to a peer-reviewed study from Michigan State University the news is far worse: 278,000 Americans died of reactions to the jabs, in the first year alone.  An investigative journalist, using Our World in Data, estimates that the shots have caused 7.5 million deaths globally in addition to 27 million severe injuries.

Then there’s the well known fact that public health completely botched and mismanaged the pandemic on virtually every single point.

But the “vaccine” madness hasn’t ended. 

On March 23, 2023 a commanding majority including 10 judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Court, sitting en banc, affirmed the preliminary injection against Biden’s mandate for all federal workers to get the COVID shot.  While the mandate has been lifted in the military, Biden has not repealed it for federal workers.  Foreign travelers are also under still under the mandate.

Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic is not allowed into the U.S. for a match because he hasn’t been “vaccinated” for COVID, despite having recovered from the virus in 2020.  His request for an exemption was refused, and he was famously deported from Australia in 2022 for the same reason.  This should prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is all COVID theatre as natural immunity has finally, albeit late, been recognized as superior to “vaccines.”  Further proving the lunacy, if Djokovic enters the country via boat, no COVID test or “vaccination” is required; however, if he takes an airplane – the jab is required.  Explain that one.

Plus the Biden has declared the COVID ‘pandemic’ to be over but we are all forced to sit around until the magical date of May 11That’s another one that defies explanation.

Stanford Virality Project Exposed: True COVID Info Censored on Social Media

“Robby Soave elaborates on a new information as part of the Twitter Files, which unveil additional censor campaign to restrict Covid-19-related content. #covid #freespeech #taibbi.

And speaking of censorship and Taibbi, we now have proof that DHS’s CISA partnered with a censorship consortium called EIP to illegally censor Americans. During the 2020 election, EIP & CISA worked with GEC and ISAC to police political wrongthink on social media.  In 2/21, EIP rebranded itself the Virality Project and went on to censor COVID narratives that didn’t align with the government narrative. They targeted people giving 1st hand accounts of “vaccine” injuries, and negative thoughts about “vaccine” passports, as well as censored jokes and satirical memes.

We are warned this will only get worse unless Congress stops it, because in the past three years the government has granted more than 500 contracts and/or grants aimed at tackling “misinformation.”

And speaking of things getting worse, Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi received an unannounced visit at his home by an IRS agent right before he testified before Congress in what appears to be an attempt to intimidate a witness before Congress.

Using the tax-payer’s dime, CDC and HHS offered $1 Million for research to create a tool to predict ‘Vaccine’ ‘Misinformation’ trends. A single applicant will receive an award ranging from $400,000 to $500,000 to develop “a forecasting model that aims to identify potential misinformation on vaccines and how it will affect people as it spreads on social media,” according to Fox News. The funding comes amid ongoing lawsuits challenging other federal government attempts to fight “misinformation” on constitutional grounds.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the conflicts of interest here.  The government has patents on vaccines, including the COVID clot shot, and now it’s giving tax dollars for research to counter and shut down all dissenting opinions that dare to threaten profits they stand to gain.  Government scientists also receive secret, undisclosed royalty payments.  It’s a handy-dandy relationship where corrupt agencies win and the taxpayer loses.

Again, this public health monopoly must be destroyed.  Research institutions, industry, and government have no business working together.

ABSTRACT

The OspC outer-surface lipoprotein is essential for the Lyme disease spirochete’s initial phase of vertebrate infection. Bacteria within the midguts of unfed ticks do not express OspC but produce high levels when ticks begin to ingest blood. Lyme disease spirochetes cease production of OspC within 1 to 2 weeks of vertebrate infection, and bacteria that fail to downregulate OspC are cleared by host antibodies. Thus, tight regulation of OspC levels is critical for survival of Lyme borreliae and, therefore, an attractive target for development of novel treatment strategies. Previous studies determined that a DNA region 5′ of the ospC promoter, the ospC operator, is required for control of OspC production. Hypothesizing that the ospC operator may bind a regulatory factor, DNA affinity pulldown was performed and identified binding by the Gac protein. Gac is encoded by the C-terminal domain of the gyrA open reading frame from an internal promoter, ribosome-binding site, and initiation codon. Our analyses determined that Gac exhibits a greater affinity for ospC operator and promoter DNAs than for other tested borrelial sequences. In vitro and in vivo analyses demonstrated that Gac is a transcriptional repressor of ospC. These results constitute a substantial advance to our understanding of the mechanisms by which the Lyme disease spirochete controls production of OspC.
IMPORTANCE
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato requires its surface-exposed OspC protein in order to establish infection in humans and other vertebrate hosts. Bacteria that either do not produce OspC during transmission or fail to repress OspC after infection is established are rapidly cleared by the host. Herein, we identified a borrelial protein, Gac, that exhibits preferential affinity to the ospC promoter and 5′ adjacent DNA. A combination of biochemical analyses and investigations of genetically manipulated bacteria demonstrated that Gac is a transcriptional repressor of ospC. This is a substantial advance toward understanding how the Lyme disease spirochete controls production of the essential OspC virulence factor and identifies a novel target for preventative and curative therapies.

Abstract

Borreliella (syn. Borreliaburgdorferi is a spirochete bacterium that causes tick-borne Lyme disease. Along its lifecycle B. burgdorferi develops several pleomorphic forms with unclear biological and medical relevance. Surprisingly, these morphotypes have never been compared at the global transcriptome level. To fill this void, we grew B. burgdorferi spirochete, round body, bleb, and biofilm-dominated cultures and recovered their transcriptomes by RNAseq profiling. We found that round bodies share similar expression profiles with spirochetes, despite their morphological differences. This sharply contrasts to blebs and biofilms that showed unique transcriptomes, profoundly distinct from spirochetes and round bodies. To better characterize differentially expressed genes in non-spirochete morphotypes, we performed functional, positional, and evolutionary enrichment analyses. Our results suggest that spirochete to round body transition relies on the delicate regulation of a relatively small number of highly conserved genes, which are located on the main chromosome and involved in translation. In contrast, spirochete to bleb or biofilm transition includes substantial reshaping of transcription profiles towards plasmids-residing and evolutionary young genes, which originated in the ancestor of Borreliaceae. Despite their abundance the function of these Borreliaceae-specific genes is largely unknown. However, many known Lyme disease virulence genes implicated in immune evasion and tissue adhesion originated in this evolutionary period. Taken together, these regularities point to the possibility that bleb and biofilm morphotypes might be important in the dissemination and persistence of B. burgdorferi inside the mammalian host. On the other hand, they prioritize the large pool of unstudied Borreliaceae-specific genes for functional characterization because this subset likely contains undiscovered Lyme disease pathogenesis genes.
_______________
**Comment**
And herein lies the age-old problem: unstudied Borreliaceae-specific genes that have not been functionally characterized, and undiscovered Lyme disease pathogenesis genes.  Everything else hinges on these unknowns.
This research is begging to be done, but has been avoided like the plague because of corrupt public health, run by one man doling out research grants whom has far too much power, and whom receives untracked, secret royalty payments.
COVID has shown the world what Lyme/MSIDS patients have been facing, only they have been in this hideous time-warp for over 40 years. Researchers are smart – they know they must cow-tow to the NIAID mafia overlord to get research funding, which means they must espouse the accepted narrative that Lyme is a simple nuisance cured with a couple weeks of a mono-therapy that hasn’t worked from the get-go.
Nobody seems to care but sick patients and a handful of ethical researchers who feverishly attempt to move a 40 year old needle that’s covered with an inch of rust.  When dissenting research finally does come out, it is retracted for flimsy reasons, in this case due to testing methods, but my educated guess is the research simply couldn’t stand because it revealed too much truth.  This is quite ironic considering the COVID ‘pandemic’ only occurred due to faulty testing insisted upon & patented by corrupt public health which quietly had to withdraw its EUA because it can’t distinguish between COVID and the regular flu.  Monopolizing medicine/disease is the CDC & FDA‘s MO and this includes testing, as virtually everything else spawns off of testing.  Control testing and you control the entire paradigm from research to drugs.
This diabolical monopoly then sets the ball rolling for the entire world, again demonstrating the frightening monopoly that must be broken.  Mainstream medicine, which is lazy, remains brain-washed and simply follows orders. And compliance is what corrupt public health is counting on.  Truth is crucified and dissenters are promptly tarred and feathered despite saving livesCensorship, bullying, firing and closing labs down, tossing out and manipulating data, fake science, and “disappearing” are efficiently deployed to silence any opposition.
Believe it or not, mainstream medicine still does not even believe Bb is pleomorphic.

China’s New “Ethnic Specific” BioWeapons Target Specific Races Based on DNA

March 20, 2023

China as been purchasing the DNA of Americans.  China’s BGI – a large manufacturer of one of the most popular prenatal tests in the world developed with the military, has been harvesting data from millions of women, and analyzing the data with AI.  So far 8 million women have taken BGI’s prenatal tests globally. One BGI study used a military supercomputer to re-analyze data and map the prevalence of viruses in Chinese women, look for indicators of mental illness in them, and single out Tibetan and Uyghur minorities to find links between their genes and their characteristics.

Other companies selling such prenatal tests also re-use data for research. But none operate on the scale of BGI, scientists and ethicists say, or have BGI’s links to a government or its track record with a national military.  

In the video, UW researchers who in 2004 figured out how to safely and effectively get therapeutic DNA inside cells were mentioned.  But a Colonel in the People’s Liberation Army states:

University of Wisconsin scientists have made exogenous naked DNA and injected it into the veins for easy access into muscle cells for gene therapy.  By combining this knowledge and particle-gun technology, we could create a micro bullet out of a 1 micron tungsten or gold ion, on whose surface plasmid DNA or naked DNA could be precipitated, and deliver the bullet via a gunpowder explosion, electron transmission, or a high-pressured gas to penetrate the body surface. We could then release DNA molecules to integrate with the host’s cells through blood circulation and cause disease or injury by controlling genes.

While China amasses genetic information from around the world, it has banned the collection or preservation of its citizen’s genetic information.

Beijing is determined to dominate the biotech industry and may be developing biological weapons designed to target certain ethnic groups.  China’s state media claim the country already has the largest database of 80 million profiles in 2020, but is likely even greater now.  An international tracking mechanism called “The green health code” is already in place in China, barring thousands from workplaces, shopping malls, classrooms, restaurants, etc. due to strict virus controls.  Overnight the city quietly rolled out a new rule requiring everyone who bought medication for anything that resembled COVID to take a test before the health app status could be green again.  Don’t have a green card?  Too bad, so sad.  Normal life grinds to a halt for anyone without a green card.

This is what our corrupt public health ‘authorities’ want for us.  China is their beloved role model.

COVID MRNA Platform Appears to Be a Dead End

Link

March 17, 2023

A recent editorial in the Lancet by immunologists highlight:

High prevalence of breakthrough infections is evidence of us failing in our war of attrition against the virus, measurable by increased caseload, hospitalizations and healthcare provision, lost days from work, chronic disability from persistent symptoms, and an inability to simply return to normal life.”

The dataset from Singapore reminds us that suggesting the booster strategy will simply involve tweaking vaccines annually, as for influenza, seriously underestimates the complexity of the current challenge.” ~ Rosemary Boyton & Daniel Altmann

With 70% of the population targeted with mass COVID-19 vaccination, herd immunity was promised as a natural positive outcome by the promoters of the COVID-19 vaccines early on. This was communicated by the WHO, NIH, CDC and countless other agencies. But how could that have happened with a non-sterilizing vaccine that failed to fully stop viral transfer targeting a pathogen, an RNA virus that mutates frequently like influenza?

Here in the U.S. alone we have spent over $4.6 trillion fighting COVID.  The strategy has locked us into a commitment to a platform that was supposed to be flexible and robust, but is neither.  

But, will anyone listen?  Doubtful.

mRNA Vaccine Contamination Much Worse Than Thought: Jabs “Up to 35%” DNA That Turns Human Cells into Long-Term Spike Protein Factories

The contamination of mRNA vaccines with DNA is far greater than initially thought at up to 35%, and the DNA’s role in inducing human cells to produce the spike protein long term has been confirmed, according to the latest research.

Earlier this month, the Daily Sceptic reported on the work of Dr. Kevin McKernan and his team who had subjected the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna to deep sequencing analysis and found alarming levels of DNA contaminants known as plasmids. These are small circular DNA molecules that in principle can self-replicate in bacterial and human cells and induce the cell to produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein long term. Each vaccine dose was found to contain billions of these plasmids.

The Moderna vaccine appeared to contain DNA contamination at around the ‘safe’ level set by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) at the equivalent of one part per 3,000 mRNA molecules, though it’s not clear how safe this level really is. The Pfizer vaccine, on the other hand, was found to contain DNA contamination at 10 times the ‘safe’ level, at one plasmid per 350 mRNA molecules.  (See link for article)

______________

Important excerpt:

Molecular biologist Dr. Jessica Rose explains that this means each dose may contain trillions of DNA molecules, 100 times greater than previously reported: “The left-over expression vectors used to manufacture the mRNAs are at contamination levels 100-fold higher than originally proposed and imply trillions of DNA molecules per dose. This has implications for integration into our genome.”

Precise levels are unknown and may vary by batch, but the team confirmed the plasmids are intact and are capable of self-replicating to express mRNA for spike protein in human cells, not just in bacteria.

Anyone looking into the contents of the vials must get permission.  You can be arrested if you don’t “mother may I?”.  Nobody wants to know what’s in these suckers but a few have dared to look and it ain’t pretty.

The following contaminants have been found by researchers in the vials:

  1. At least 55 undeclared chemical elements
  2. Green Monkey DNA
  3. metals, including graphene
  4. parasites and eggs
  5. moving “self aware” organisms
  6. hexagonal crystalline structures with 4-sided rectangular structures with regularly spaced dots in the form of a grid
  7. particulate foreign matter
  8. PEG
  9. nanotechnology
  10. lipid nanoparticle
  11. gene sequence that forces your body to make a foreign spike protein
  12. black particles
  13. white floating matter
  14. impurities from human fetal cell lines

But, will anyone listen?  Doubtful.
