William Briggs tackles coronadoom... [Gilder's Daily Prophecy] March 05, 2021 [UNSUBSCRIBE]( | [ARCHIVES]( External Advertisement 14 billionaires shifting funds here [faces]( identified 14 billionaires and dozens of wealthy, successful individuals who are shifting their funds into a special type of deal. Peter Thiel, Michael Jordan, and Wilbur Ross are just a few of the names. They’re chasing exponential gains in a new and very specific type of play with the potential to churn out some pretty extraordinary returns: (eg: 7,946%, 2,740%, 3,626%). And while gains like these can’t be promised… Our technology guru, the gentleman who found the #1 tech stock on the S&P 4 out of the last 5 years, Jeff Brown, is sharing where this investment capital is flowing to… and the #1 way for you to play this same trend.

Vaccine Efficacy, Vaccine Tyranny, and Lockdown Lawlessness [George Gilder]Dear Daily Prophecy Reader, Today, I’m in the midst of a conference and am calling in some back-up for a Daily Prophecy. Below, you’ll find the latest from William Briggs on coronadoom. Keep scrolling to read his thoughts… Long-time reader Steve Fettig asked me to look into the Reason [sic] article (by Bailey) “Vaccines Are 100% Effective at Preventing COVID-19 Hospitalizations and Deaths,” which is based on a Lancet note “[What does 95% COVID-19 vaccine efficacy really mean?]( (by Olliaro). Bailey’s article is a mess of confusions, but then Olliaro’s is not much better. The worst error of Bailey is not to mention any negatives about the vaccines, such as side effects. He anyway says: As LiveScience reports, the Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson clinical trials all found that their vaccines were essentially 100 percent effective in preventing severe disease six to seven weeks after trial participants had received a first/single dose. As Fettig rightly said in an email to me, “Nothing has 100% efficacy.” Like I said, the quoted trial rates of efficacy will almost certainly be lower in actual populations, and the quoted adverse reaction rates will almost certainly be higher. I base that on decades experience evaluating data like this. Trials are heavily controlled, real people aren’t. But our beneficent government is working in that direction. Let’s look at Olliaro’s number. Vaccine efficacy is claimed at 95%. Problem working with numbers like efficacy is you lose perspective. [We saw earlier]( in the Pfizer data that 0.05% got the doom in the vaccine group and 0.9% got in the placebo group. These are more concrete. They are also the rates only for the people vaccinated and in the study. They will not apply equally to those outside the study, because the people outside it will not look causally the same as those in it. Increasing vaccination, and changing weather, will modify the rates. Accepting those numbers, assuming Olliaro’s vaccinated population of 100,000, then about 50 people in that group would get the doom if — and here’s the part he leaves off — these 50 can find somebody to get the doom from. [We see elsewhere]( that most who get the doom “are contagious for 4-8 days. Specimens are generally not found to contain culture-positive (potentially contagious) virus beyond day nine after the onset of symptoms, with most transmission occurring before day five.” If you get the vaccine, and it works, and I don’t get it, then I can’t get the bug from you, since you can’t be infected. I have to find somebody else in the four or five days they are infectious. That’s why, in those not vaccinated, the rate is only 0.9%. That, and because the bug isn’t so easy to pass on. Because in real life, different people in different areas will get vaccinated with different vaccines, all of which will have variable rates of protection, it will be difficult to guess just how it will all play out. It’s clear, though, that if the rate of infection is really only 0.05%, then herd immunity will happen fast as more people are vaccinated. However, this assumes the vaccine will be a one-and-done, like with measles. And not like the flu. We track 8 variants of the flu, all without panicking. One new coroandoom variant is found, and people retreat back in their shell of fear. When all it means is the efficacy rate will drop to more expected (to me, anyway) numbers. The coronadoom will always be with us, just like many other bugs. Perpetual panic to this is insane.

[‘Everyone Agreed’ on Vaccine Passports, Says Merkel at EU Coronavirus Summit]( German Chancellor Angela Merkel claimed that there is a unanimous agreement within the European Union on implementing a coronavirus vaccine passport, during a virtual meeting of EU member states on Thursday. The German leader said that “everyone agreed that we need a digital vaccination certificate,” following the meeting of European leaders. Merkel said that such a system could be implemented as soon as the summer, but claimed that the introduction of a vaccine passport “does not mean that only those who have a vaccination passport are allowed to travel,” according to the German broadcaster DW. Yeah, sure it doesn’t, lady. We believe you. If we allow this, and I can’t see how we can fight it, so if it happens, we have launched ourselves on yet another slippery slope.

Editor, Gilder's Daily Prophecy Big Game Hunter! Really? [shotgun trigger finger]( since the world’s richest man suddenly stepped down as CEO… Social media has been speculating as to why. While the man himself said he wants to pursue his other passions… Some said his passion was hunting big game from a helicopter. Some felt he stepped down to star in a movie. But one analyst is suggesting a deeper more powerful reason. It is SHOCKING. And by the looks of it, very very plausible.
