Hello friends. Greetings from Montecito. Where it rained for the first two days we were here. It wouldn’t be The Arrow if you didn’t have to read about an Eades travel nightmare. We left our house in Dallas in plenty of time to get to the airport. Got there early, whizzed through check in and TSA. I told MD something is going to happen—it’s all gone way too smoothly.
Thanks. I always wonder about those. I have major, major approach avoidance when it comes to writing The Arrow. Every time I finish one, I swear to myself that I won't leave it till the last minute. But then I often do. One of the things that gets me going is writing the opening rant. Once I get that out of my system, the writing pretty much flows smoothly. When I go back and look over what I've read, I then always wonder if I should delete the rant. So far I haven't. But I always wonder. It's nice to know that at least one person enjoys them.
Thanks for your explanation of excess deaths. I initially thought the first charts looked actually darn good. Then I read your explanation and what you said made perfect sense. Maybe some of the excess deaths are a result of postponed diagnoses and treatments of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, you name it. My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer in late 2019, but he was able to go through the entire radiation therapy in the summer/fall of 2020. The outcome might have been very different had he not been diagnosed when he was and had not been able to do the treatments.
On another note, did you ever look into the Shingles vaccine? I asked about it a while back and you said you hadn't had the time to look into it. My husband (poor guy) came down with Shingles the other day and is in a lot of pain. His female doc asked why he always turned down the vaccine, and he just said, "I'm a guy." I've not had the vaccine, but now wondering if I should get it. Even if you could point me in the right direction so I can do some research, it would help. Thanks again for everything you do.
I can't give specific medical advice over the internet. I've looked up the Shingrix vaccine, which appears to be the only one now available in the US. You can read about the clinical trial at this link: https://www.fda.gov/media/108597/download Take a look at the adverse events listed and make your call. I was interested to find that in the trial Shingrix was compared to an actual placebo (saline injection) instead of another vaccine. Which, in my view, makes the adverse-event data more accurate. You can also read about the side effects here: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/drugs-shingrix-side-effects This last link is probably more reliable since the vaccine has been introduced to a wider group than just those in the study.
I got the original shingles vaccine but have not gotten Shingrix. It has a "black box" warning that people can get Guillain-Barre Syndrome which is why they mention it in their commercials. You can get GBS after any vaccination but they don't usually put a black box warning on them.
My late mom had shingles and it hurt like heck. I don't want to get shingles, but I am skeptical about how well the vaccine works (at this point, I'm skeptical about everything) and also don't want to get GBS.
GBS was one of the reasons why they took the flu vaccine off the market in 1976. I refused that vaccine and refused the Covid one.
A friend of mine got shingles in her eye at the age of 54. For reasons that I don't remember, her doctor told her to not get the first vaccine. He did recommend Shingrix so she got it. She said the stuff made her ill.
My husband got both shots of it and it didn't bother him.
No doubt whatsoever in my mind that the entire "Kung Flu Scamdemic" has caused and will continue to cause "excess deaths" in the entire world population - that after all was one of the intentions of the "Managers" (the functionaries of the WEF's elite .001%). To be more blunt - the entire scam was a "trial run" to provide datapoints for the forthcoming release of "Disease X" - the Managers will try to "fine-tune" X to murder that % of the world population to provide the Elite with the necessary number of "serfs" and no more.
And re Dementia and the ancients - absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. As you state it certainly is clear that diets are vastly different. I'm placing my bets there.
So you blame the Japanese legislature? (the Diet). Bad joke.. What about the Fact that we are living so much longer? Isn't that a factor? My Dad was fine until his early 80s. Do we know how the ancients dealt with people with disabilities? I remember reading that people with epileptic fits were thought to be possessed by the gods.
Your description of excess deaths and what happened Vs how it was explains is good and clear. I have expected to be better (lower) death results since Covid 'cleaned out' the low-hanging 'fruit' of the vulnerable. But itis not happening. Sweden that did not vaccinate as we did had many early covid death out front ( many of them old people) and was considered a medical disaster by some but now Sweden ahs the lowest death rates because more people got immunity. That is the beneficial side of the curve. Statistics lie. and liars use statistics. You have to be careful when torturing data to make sure they don't just seem to admit something to get you to stop torturing them.
As to sudden death. I have told this story before - my brother's wife died after a Covid shot Pfizer shot on Friday...dead the next Thursday. Died of a heart problem (don't know the specific diagnosis) and then blood clots prevented EMS medics from getting blood to her brain. . she was a truly beautiful, athletic, woman mid-50s no current health problems. She was a technology worker and worked from home. this was s classical mRNA death but does snot say so on her death certificate because as we know THE VACCINES ARE SAFE. So are chain saws.
When you tell people something, it biases their opinion. We all ( well most of us) now have the mRNA in us. some more than others. I live in NYC had to get 2 shots or be banned from entering mass transit restaurants, food markets, etc. I was railroaded. Now I carry around that spike protein which you get in an exaggerated dose in the vaccine. and who know that the devilish thing is doing... even now??
Yes, there should be a reckoning for all of this. But from what I've recently seen of the "justice" system of New York and the commentary by the governor basically admitting that they were selectively prosecuting a major presidential candidate, I have serious doubts.
I hate what happened to your sister-in-law. I hope your brother is doing okay.
From the press release: "excessive dietary protein could increase atherosclerosis risk." I love the terms: "could," "might be", etc. All signs of association, not true causation. But to the lay person, it sure sounds like iron-clad causation.
Also the French video was a good illustration of thinness.
My wife and find the thinness in the Woodstock videos as another good example. People will say it was from drug use. However today we have rampant drug use along with obesity. Drugs of the 60's were not preventing obesity. Also I don't believe the French smoked that much in the 1890's. Mass produced cigarettes did not come into being until around the second world war.
Don’t know if you’re following the ‘mathy’ guys (Ed Dowd, Thomas Renz, Esq. and his military whistleblowers, and the like). Last Feb (so, just over a year ago) Ed Dowd reported – using mainly insurance company data, that some 61 THOUSAND Millennials (27–42 years old) had died (*EXCESS* deaths!) in the previous 18 mo,ths! That is more than the 57k Americans died in the Viet Nam War... which lasted 15 years!
Even IF one considers that the “vulnerable” died in larger numbers in 2020 and 2021, as a rule “worker’s life insurance policies” are written to corporations, who offer (usually just a year of salary) as an inducement to accept a job. Those policy-covered folks are considered – have ALWAYS been considered – the most healthy/least likely to die. (Not least because you lose that coverage if you lose your job...)
The soothing (= lying) propaganda put out by the govts and malign medical establishments completely ignores the disabled, the injured, the seriously ill. (Notice how many stores, restaurants, and ... you know, car rental counters, are understaffed?) The DoD’s DMED records have always been seen as excellent data (true? not true?) of all U.S. mil personnel. The horrific numbers from DMED that mil. whistleblowers released at a Congressional roundtable – no secret data here! (Well, DoD INTENDED it to be secret... oopsie!) Here is a list of %ages BEFORE DoD ... updated their code...
Yet “somehow” the DoD had to pull the DMED entirely, immediately thereafter, to “fix a coding glitch” that affected ONLY data around the pandemic.... Gee. Ain’t that amazing? (After which the numbers were still bad, but not quite so bad.)
from which: “Renz credited the data he presented at the event to military physicians Lt. Col. Theresa M. Long, Lt. Colonel Peter Chambers and Dr. Samuel Sigoloff.”
Dearest Mike, you’re a doctor: go take a wander through the first FLCCC conference videos. SEE what the folks actually trying valiantly to clean up the mess we are are dealing with are finding, and what the mathy guys are pulling together. You KNOW better than to trust the govt!! I expect a lot of your readers are entirely unfamiliar with this info, too.

I’ll stop listing there – it’s huge bunch of folk’s names for further research if you or anyone here wants to begin a deep dive – or go bounding down some good rabbit trails!
I've actually watched most of the videos you posted above. I'm not denying that there are excess deaths. My only issue is that those folks in the above videos have staked their claim on the idea that there are numerous excess deaths. Once you've staked such a claim, you tend to disregard any data going against said claim. That's a situation I don't want to find myself in. What I liked about the study I posted is that it is obvious the authors want the readers of the paper to believe that there are no excess deaths, whereas my analysis shows there are plenty of them.
Mike - another five-star hit. Thanks for the great explanation on"peer reviewed papers" and the inevitable fallout when authors disagree. Somewhere in the dim and dusty past, Peter Attia had a blogpost with the number of scientific papers published daily in this country - but of course, could I find it now? It was, in any event, a staggering amount, and most of them are never replicated. Science, eh? I've also recently read that the information published in the Times (NY) and the Wall Street Journal on the minimal adverse effects of the jabs was what one author called a "limited hangout," which I had to look up, but I'm sure you understand. Very interesting. Wonder what they're all covering up. The "too much protein" "study" really grinds my gears. It's a constant barrage everywhere against protein in the press and even in the entertainment industry (I"m thinking about movies on Netflix). On a recent menu I was checking you could click on your dietary needs - things like gluten free, etc. One of the options to click on was "no red meat." Talk about virtue signaling. It's a crab place in Florida, for what it's worth and the seafood looks amazing, but why pick on red meat? There's only a burger on the whole menu.
Just a couple (that I saw - I miss 'em too, dammit.)
another professor from somewhere wrote and article
wrote an article
Tsimane, indigenous Ameriandians of Amazonian Bolivia
I think the spelling should be Amerindians
(The term Amerindian, a portmanteau of "American Indian")
I'm glad you brought up the term "limited hangout." I didn't know what it was, either, so I looked it up. Obviously a commonly used technique. Thanks for the heads up.
The universe run by the elites (read: lefties) is down, down, down on red meat consumption. So I expect to see it badmouthed everywhere. Including in the study I dissected.
Thanks for finding the typos. All fixed except for the Ameriandians, which was in a quote from the paper, so I left it alone. When I read it in the paper, I assumed it was a portmanteau word combining America (as in South America), the Andes, and Indian. Thus Ameri And Ians. But it could also be a misprint.
Dr Eades, regarding the Belle Epoque video, I thought you might find this X thread interesting (and amusing, "Skinny Girls Don't Have OOMPH!"). Looks like iron might be a culprit in the obesity crisis.
Dr Eades, your discussion about excess deaths made me think about the danger of large-scale bushfires we have here in Australia. 2019-2020 was the last extreme bushfire season (we personally were fortunate to be able to evacuate to Melbourne for that one), and the next is well overdue. The longer we go without any major fires the more fuel buids up on the ground, regular fuel reduction is carried out by various organisations to mitigate the fire danger but that might be insufficient. There are uncomfortable parallels with covid/vaccines performing this form of 'fuel reduction' on the population, I wonder how long this will go on? Will we eventually see a reduction in mortality rates when all the 'fuel' is used up, or is this going to be like one of those underground fires that can't be exstinguished and are left to burn forever?
Very interesting Arrow, as usual. One thing I noticed about the lawsuit article is that you start out spelling the name of the guy suing as Jacobsen, and later it’s spelled Jacobson until the end. He could possibly take offense if alerted, assuming he has any $ left.
I knew about the ridiculous protein bad study and you analyse it really well. The JAMA 'rates back to normal' I had not seen and dementia in the ancients I had never thought of are wonderful insights - thanks for these gems.
I know you enjoy informative videos. Here is Jack Matlock, one of the world's great diplomats. What insights he is giving at age 94. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxjD02QnvJU
suggest correction: change "the rates of ADRD and MIC today" to "the rates of ADRD and MCI today" or maybe better, "the rates of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) today"
I so enjoy your blog! Thank you! I am hoping to hear your thoughts on the book, "Can You Catch a Cold?" by Daniel Roytas. It is not intended to be comedic, but I find myself chuckling as I read this carefully constructed historical review of our "Evidence Based Medicine."
Sort of a p.s. - I love your travel and weather rants - just so you know.
Thanks. I always wonder about those. I have major, major approach avoidance when it comes to writing The Arrow. Every time I finish one, I swear to myself that I won't leave it till the last minute. But then I often do. One of the things that gets me going is writing the opening rant. Once I get that out of my system, the writing pretty much flows smoothly. When I go back and look over what I've read, I then always wonder if I should delete the rant. So far I haven't. But I always wonder. It's nice to know that at least one person enjoys them.
I enjoy your rants too! They are a nice warm-up act before diving into your science essays.
Warm-up act! That's it. I'll start thinking of them as a warm-up act instead of a rant.
Mike - given the "likes" I think you should keep on ranting!
Thanks for your explanation of excess deaths. I initially thought the first charts looked actually darn good. Then I read your explanation and what you said made perfect sense. Maybe some of the excess deaths are a result of postponed diagnoses and treatments of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, you name it.

I think they've been outed. So maybe it will come to naught.
Morning Doc - It will "come to naught" only if a sufficient number of citizens in each country (particularly the US) refuse to "comply".
True.
And re Dementia and the ancients - absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. As you state it certainly is clear that diets are vastly different. I'm placing my bets there.
I am, too.

I've actually watched most of the videos you posted above. I'm not denying that there are excess deaths. My only issue is that those folks in the above videos have staked their claim on the idea that there are numerous excess deaths. Once you've staked such a claim, you tend to disregard any data going against said claim. That's a situation I don't want to find myself in.

Could well be. That's why people should give blood to reduce their ferritin levels.
Dr Eades, your discussion about excess deaths made me think about the danger of large-scale bushfires we have here in Australia. 2019-2020 was the last extreme bushfire season (we personally were fortunate to be able to evacuate to Melbourne for that one), and the next is well overdue.

I certainly hope not, but who knows? With these mRNA vaccines, we're charting a new course.
Very interesting Arrow, as usual. One thing I noticed about the lawsuit article is that you start out spelling the name of the guy suing as Jacobsen, and later it’s spelled Jacobson until the end. He could possibly take offense if alerted, assuming he has any $ left.

The potential for lead was mentioned in the article, so the authors were aware of it.
I completely read past that. Not uncommon for me.
This guy asks if there's a relationship between dementia and lead poisoning in the US.

I wonder about all the people taking statins too.
I don't know that much about lead poisoning, but I have often wondered about the widespread statin us and increased levels of Alzheimer's.
Isn't there also an issue with PPIs for gastric reflux?
The hardness of the water would make a big difference there as it can provide a calcium salt coating of the lead.
I didn't know that. And I have no clue as to the hardness of the water in ancient Greece or Rome. Would be nice to know.
I know you enjoy informative videos. Here is Jack Matlock, one of the world's great diplomats. What insights he is giving at age 94. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxjD02QnvJU
Looks interesting. Thanks for sending.
suggest correction: change "the rates of ADRD and MIC today" to "the rates of ADRD and MCI today" or maybe better, "the rates of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) today"
Thanks. Good catch. I fix it as soon as I've read all these comments.
I so enjoy your blog! Thank you! I am hoping to hear your thoughts on the book, "Can You Catch a Cold?" by Daniel Roytas. It is not intended to be comedic, but I find myself chuckling as I read this carefully constructed historical review of our "Evidence Based Medicine."
