Why Do Rad-Trads Keep “Guessing” Everything Right?

[Michie]

Why do trads keep guessing the outcomes correctly in nearly every issue happening in current events? I usually point out that conservatives and traditionalists understand truth better than liberals and leftists because we put evidence ahead of identity politics. I still think that’s the mainreason why we keep “getting it” on so many current events in Church and State. But today, I want to explore some additionalreasons.

After talking to many traditional Catholics over the past three years, I can say with confidence that over well over 90% of them refused the COVID vaccine. That number may be above 95%. The vaccine is just one of a dozen issues of current events where I trust conservative and traditional voices. Even though one day mocked as “prophets of doom,” we were almost always exonerated in cold-cut statistics the next year.

First, let’s look at the evidence to see how many lives the mRNA-rearranging poison took from among our loved ones. Steve Kirsch wrote an article Substack titled The “died suddenly” vax vs. unvaxxed statistics tell you everything you need to know. In it, he shows various groupings of statistics that reveal only 1 out of 1000 of everyone who “died suddenly” over the past two years were unvaccinated in the United States. Yet 25% of the US population is unvaccinated! Mr. Kirsch claims this is “statistically impossible,” unless the vaccine itself has killed millions of people who never received a cause of death.

The government and media will never admit the vaccine caused an enormous increase in all-cause mortality the last few years. So where does Kirsch get these statistics that so few unvaccinated are numbered among the “died suddenly”?

Really? See the latest thread on Archbishop Vigano. One wrong, and I'll end with that one alone.

Why do trads see all these things so clearly? The answer is surprising for a group of people frequently called Jansenists: We actually trust in the goodness of God. We trust in the goodness of God working through our common sense and the Holy Spirit’s gift of counsel more than the advice and admiration of men, especially more than globalists causing all this confusion in Church and State.

Well, the issue here is that the many trads "trust in the goodness of God" only to the extent that the point at issue is in alignment with their own personal conclusions. When the living Magisterium in the form of the pope and the bishops in communion with him teach or say something that is not in alignment with their own personal conclusions, then they criticize the Magisterium and claim that the Holy Spirit is not at work within it. Many (but not all) trads seemingly cannot "trust in the goodness of God" when it comes in the form of the Holy Spirit working thorugh the pope and the living Magisterium. When someone agrees with their personal conclusion, it is "God working through our common sense and the Holy Spirit's gift of counsel". When the living Magisterium is at odds with their personal conclusions, well then the Holy Spirit was not at work and the Magisterium is not to be trusted. So ultimately this eccesiology is Protestant in nature.

Then there are the clots that happen prior to death. Embalmers do not typically know that someone who died was “in normal health,” as is often claimed in the documentary, nor do they reliably know someone’s vaccination status. Blood clots do happen in life, for a variety of reasons. The COVID-19 vaccines made by AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson were indeed associated with rare—and I must repeat, rare—cases of blood clots, but risk factors for blood clots in general include obesity, cancer, a sedentary lifestyle, pregnancy, family history, and smoking. Oh, and COVID-19 itself, which you won’t learn from Died Suddenly. This may surprise you, but an American dies of a blood clot every six minutes. Clots, either before or after death, are common.

As anatomical pathology specialist Irene Sansano told a fact-checking website, the clots shown by Hirschman do not look different from the ones pathologists regularly see in blood clot autopsies at the hospital. To know if there really was an uptick in clots seen during embalming, we can’t rely on a scattering of anecdotes. We would need a database to monitor trends, and as Schmidt points out, this database does not exist.

But if the sight of strings of clotted material isn’t scary enough, Died Suddenly is willing to make its title even more manifest by showing us rapid-fire montages of people fainting and seemingly dropping dead. Out of context, these videos are distressing. However, The Real Truther account on Twitter has demonstrated that many of them are not what they seem. The woman who passes out and falls into a moving train? Her name is Candela. She fainted because of low blood pressure and survived with a fractured skull. That young basketball player who collapses on the court? His name is Keyontae Johnson, and his fainting took place on December 12, 2020, before the COVID-19 vaccines were readily available. He has since been medically cleared to play and recently signed with Kansas State. These people are not dead. To borrow a phrase from the conspiracy playbook, we have been lied to.

Given that syncope, the medical term for a temporary loss of consciousness brought about by a drop in blood pressure, affects one in five over their lifetime, and given the ubiquity of cameras in our world, that’s a lot of fainting episodes captured on video that can be used to bolster a narrative that “something’s not right.”

The Anti-Vaccine Documentary Died Suddenly Wants You to Feel, Not Think

People want to feel like their concerns are heard. Being dismissed can lead to loss of trust, which can send people looking for empathy in the wrong places. Members of the anti-vaccination movement and of its media arm excel at portraying themselves as “those who care.” The rest of...

And now we find that the risk of blood clots is much higher for people who get infected with COVID, than for vaccinated people:

Who's most likely to get blood clots post-COVID?​

As the pandemic has progressed, with new variants, the use of vaccines and boosters, and more people having some level of protection against the virus, the way complications of COVID-19 can manifest has evolved. But for now, Galiatsatos says, blood clots post-COVID are most common in people 50 and older and those with diabetes or high blood pressure.

The new JAMA Network Open study found that the risk for blood clots after a mild COVID-19 infection was particularly high among men, people age 55 and older, those who'd had blood clots previously and those with a BMI of 30 or above.

Who's most likely to develop a blood clot post-COVID? New study offers answer

Even a mild COVID-19 infection can raise the risk for blood clots later. So watch out for these warning signs, experts urge.

Avoiding vaccination out of fear of blood clots is like chugging a fifth of whiskey before driving because some sober people have auto accidents.

The study looked at results from 1.4 million diagnoses of COVID-19, which researchers said led to an estimated 10,500 additional cases of clot-related problems.

Extensive data collection and linkage in effect across Great Britain enabled researchers to crunch the numbers, Sterne said.

Researchers found that the first week after a COVID-19 diagnosis, the risk of an arterial blood clot – the kind that could cause a heart attack or ischemic stroke by blocking blood flow to the heart or brain – was nearly 22 times higher than in someone without COVID-19. That risk dropped sharply, to less than four times higher, in the second week.

"Between 27 and 49 weeks, there is an approximately 30% increased risk for arterial clots, Sterne said. "But the elevation is greater for longer" for clots in veins, which include deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, when a clot travels to the lungs.

In the first week after a COVID-19 diagnosis, the risk of such venous problems was 33 times higher. By the third and fourth weeks after diagnosis, the risk was still about eight times higher. And between 27 and 49 weeks later, the risk was still 1.8 times higher than in somebody who had never had COVID-19.

Blood clot risk remains elevated nearly a year after COVID-19

People who had COVID-19 early in the pandemic had a heightened risk of clots up to 49 weeks later, according to a large study from England and Wales.
