Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News


Post COVID data in the UK: Those who got the jab substantially increased their chances of death

How health scientists determined policy against COVID
How health officials and governments determined
policy against COVID during the epidemic.

Data assembled by the government of the United Kingdom now proves unequivocally that getting the jab during the COVID panic was a very bad idea. It did less than nothing to prevent you from getting the virus, and in fact significantly increased your chances of dying.

[T]he data show that 30 percent of the UK population remained completely unvaccinated as of July 2022. 34 percent were not double vaccinated, and 50 percent were not triple vaccinated.

However, the vaccinated population accounted for 95 percent of all COVID-19 deaths between January and May 2023.

The unvaccinated population, meanwhile, accounted for just five percent of Covid deaths.

Perhaps the most troubling information revealed in the data is the fact that deaths increased among the groups who received more “vaccine” doses. The vast majority of the deaths are among those vaccinated four times. This quad-vaxxed population accounts for 80 percent of all COVID-19 deaths, and 83 percent of all Covid deaths among the vaccinated.

The numbers for many other time periods following the introduction of the jab are comparable.

Though we should expect the number of deaths to be higher for the jabbed population since there are more of them, the numbers far exceed that difference. For example, among those aged 80 to 89 during just one month, December 2021, there were only 776 deaths from all causes among the unjabbed. Among those who had gotten the jab, however, there were 16,171 deaths.

That’s twenty times more, even though the total jabbed population was only about double the size of the unjabbed.

The article notes that health officials are now recognizing similar numbers in many other countries, including excess deaths and a surge in heart-related deaths. For example, a study [pdf] of just one county in Washington state found a 1,236% surge in excess cardiac arrest deaths among a population of two million who received COVID mRNA injections.

Joe Biden: dictator
Joe Biden: claiming the power to tell us what medicines we must take
in September 2021.

But don’t worry. The government and Joe Biden insisted you’d die if you didn’t get the jab, and so he mandated it for any employees whose employer took federal dollars. And if you refused, he insisted you get fired.

“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin,” Biden said, making a direct appeal to the 80 million people who he said were still unvaccinated. “Your refusal has cost all of us.”

After all, he was the president and thus of course he knew best. Just consider his many medical degrees as well as the many years of experience he had treating patients!

The worst aspect of this story is that the mandates — and the jabs — were clearly not necessary, even at the height of the epidemic. COVID was simply a variation of the flu, and like the flu if you were healthy when you got it you simply were sick for a few weeks. It didn’t kill you. And for those who were sick and aged and thus seriously threatened with death by the virus, the best solution would have been to isolate them from exposure, the exact opposite of what was done by the Democrats running states like New York and Michigan.

Readers!

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.

 

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

 

Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies.

    wikipedia is on my list of fake-reality web sites….

    An explanation by the cofounder of Wikipedia.

    “And it’s not just politics, he said, noting that the site only reflects “establishment mouthpieces” like Dr. Anthony Fauci as well as government health groups in its coverage of COVID-19.”

    “There’s a lot of Nobel prize winners and distinguished doctors whose views are not only not welcome on Wikipedia — they’re literally censored on YouTube and sometimes Facebook and Twitter because they contradict the narrative,” he said.

    “There’s a global enforcement of a certain point of view on issues like COVID,” he insisted, calling it “amazing to me as a libertarian, or a liberty-loving conservative.”

    Interesting and of course concerning, but I wonder if this might not reflect some self selection being involved. The local Santa Clara County (where I live in CA) case and death demographic data (so representing a pretty multi ethnic sample size of about 2M) has consistently showed from day one in the spring of 2020 when they started tracking these data that age is the most significant factor.

    Those under 60 represented about 85% of all cases, but only account for about 15% of all deaths, and obviously those over 60 represented the reverse of this. And those over 80 account for a meager 3.3% share of cases, but over 50% of deaths! Finally, in general about 2/3 of all deaths have involved patients suffering from at least 1 or more serious co- morbidity.

    So given that older people are in general the ones most encouraged and engaged in getting preventative shots (flu shots, the shingles vax, and the like) it seems likely they were disproportionately active in getting the covid vaccine as well. And given the data above the high death rate correlation would therefore not be at all surprising. It DOES clearly reflect the abysmal efficacy of the vax, but not any obvious ill effects on mortality (as the statistical breakdown noted held from Spring 2020 when they started tracking these stats, and didn’t really change in any obvious way after mass way started.

    To be clear I am not a big vax fan. As an aspiring geriatric I followed this data all along and bit the bullet and submitted to the 2 shot regimen in early summer 2021 after there was no obvious disaster amongst the early guinea pigs. But I DID suffer averse effects shortly thereafter that I cannot conclusively attribute to the Vax, but were serious enough to compel me to abandon further participation.

    But data is data, and one has to be wary of personal confirmation bias.. And in this particular case I expect self selection to participate by older people likely explains this reporting quite well.

    For what it is worth.

    I think it is really messed up that health care professionals and specifically virologists have given up on speaking to the public and debating their critics. I guess it is understandable given how accusatory the rhetoric is towards vaccine proponents. But then when the professional had the upper hand they were brutal in how they demonized their critics. Anyway, would be nice to listen to a vigorous debate between vaccine experts.

    The raw data looks pretty bad but I expect the conclusions would be moderated, but not eliminated, if corrected for age.

    I had to take the vax as a condition of employment as an expat in the UAE. I passed on the first offering, the Sinovax. Of those who jumped as early adopters, many came down with a terrible case 6 months after.

    I agree to take the Pfizer but the second shot put me on my back, unable to work. When the UAE government insisted on boosters, I said an emphatic “NO!” By delaying and citing my reaction to shot #2 I was able to wrangle an exemption.

    I finally came down with a case about a year later – I’ve had worst experiences with flu. The local doctor refused to make an official diagnosis!

    “The raw data looks pretty bad but I expect the conclusions would be moderated, but not eliminated, if corrected for age.”

    You did read the part where the death rate among elderly people who got vaxxed was ten times the death rate of those that didn’t, yes?

    Although I would like to see a better analysis of the data. This report is kind of all over the place.

  • Craken

    The spreadsheet you linked to has a whole column titles “age-standardized mortality rate.” We don’t have to estimate that number. I looked at a few months for people in their 70s and 80s. Adjusting for the categories with large numbers of people in them, I did not see a trend of increased all-cause mortality for those who are vaccinated. What I did see was much lower mortality for the elderly vaccinated in 2021 as a whole.

    This anti-vax thing on the Right is extremely stupid tribalism, led by an extremely stupid & mendacious man who is not even a man of the Right: RFK Jr. It is embarrassing and ridiculous. But, I suppose when it comes to lies, what the economists call sunk costs is generally outweighed by tribalism and reputation maintenance.

    ““The raw data looks pretty bad but I expect the conclusions would be moderated, but not eliminated, if corrected for age.”

    You did read the part where the death rate among elderly people who got vaxxed was ten times the death rate of those that didn’t, yes?”

    Even so, it seems overwhelmingly likely that there is SOME amount of self-selection biasing these numbers – those most at risk were the ones most encouraged to get the vaccine (especially at first).

    That is not to say that I disagree with the basic point, only that such a point is *strengthened* if it survives every possible objection, so I want to see as many objections and admissions as possible. When it survives even that, it is unassailable.

    How many leftists just “up and died”? How many of the “elites”? Joe took the “vaccine” – did that cause his rapid decline in MENTAL and physical health? (Nah, he was demented BEFORE)! I recall an article that referenced BATCHES of the ‘vaccines”. It showed that some batches caused much more damage than others. Were those batches just “unlucky” or were TARGETED? Joe should be tested just to see if he REALLY did get a “vaccine” or just a saline solution. I would bet it was a NOTHING shot! One must ask themselves why the companies that produced the “vacs” had very few ee’s willing to TAKE them! The TRUTHS will emerge soon – much sooner than the 75 year “Request” to HIDE the DATA!
    My Doctor talked to me about the “vac” and I told him absolutely not! I did agree to the pneumonia shot so when the Nurse came in with a tray with TWO syringes I asked her why two. She said one was the “vac”!! I told her “Hell NO”, I did not agree to take it. She seemed confused but didn’t argue much “Doctor x must have misheard you”! I hate not trusting my Dr., but now I don’t and I’ve seen him for over 20 years! Is money that important or that MUCH for each shot??? I do hope Sec. Kennedy can get the FACTS and EXPOSE what has really happened! Pitchforks are scarce these days – as are tar and feathers – we’ll have to make due with some LEGAL Actions!
