12+ min ago (490+ words) Written by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH on November 25, 2025. Posted in Current News A new peer-reviewed study has quietly revealed one of the most consequential biological findings of the pandemic era " and the authors never acknowledge it: Every single vaccinated participant in the study had fibrinolysis-resistant, ThT-positive amyloid microclots circulating in their blood Hidden in the supplementary tables is a demographic and biochemical pattern that completely reframes the paper: 94 percent of all participants were vaccinated. 100 percent of these vaccinated individuals had amyloid microclots " including every "healthy control." The condition labeled "Long COVID" occurred almost entirely in a heavily vaccinated population, without any laboratory confirmation of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. In reality, the study is observing Long VACCINE pathology, not Long COVID. And because the authors" own mechanistic experiments show that purified spike protein alone produces these amyloid, fibrinolysis-resistant clots, the implications are profound....

19+ min ago (336+ words) Written by Paul Homewood on November 25, 2025. Posted in Current News I had a fruitful conversation with Grok, after he/she/it mentioned in passing that floods in Monmouth since 2000 had become more frequent because of "climate change" When challenged he referred me to Met Office reports, which stated the amount of rain falling on the wettest days (99th percentile) has increased by ~20 percent across Wales since 1960. He also quoted attribution studies. I responded by pointing out that the 1960 to 1990 period was a much drier interlude. When the HADUKP daily data, which goes back to 1931, and monthly data back to 1836 was analysed, those "extremes" disappeared. Which, I suppose, all goes to show that you should not trust the Met Office without checking the data first! And this is what that data shows. You"ve already seen this graph for daily rainfall, which…...
