Regarding the chats under my posts:
— I promise that I will always read each one.
— I won't reply directly to people's requests to talk more about a certain issue, since if I start I'll never have any time left for anything else, but I will certainly take note of what you're requesting and observing in these comments, to respond to in my future output, God willing.
— I leave it to this very generously and diversely gifted audience to help each other out in the chat with links to resources that I've alluded to, translations of texts mentioned, etc.
— I will only remove comments and block subscribers that are flat-out advertising a product, service or platform that is irrelevant to the post, particularly if it's done shoutily (bold type, all-caps, emojis). (Only done this once so far.)
— I expect you not to use bad language in your comments.
— More gently than the above, but nevertheless sincerely, I request that you not make comments or leave links that are clearly not at all germane to the original post. It irritates a substantial number of readers.

How sweet and awful is the place with Christ within the doors,
while everlasting love displays the choicest of her stores!
Here ev'ry bowel of our God with soft compassion rolls;
here peace and pardon bought with blood is food for dying souls.
While all our hearts and all our songs join to admire the feast,
each of us cry, with thankful tongues, "Lord, why was I a guest?
Why was I made to hear thy voice, and enter while there's room,
when thousands make a wretched choice, and rather starve than come?"
'Twas that same love that spread the feast that sweetly forc'd us in,
else we had still refus'd to taste, and perish'd in our sin.
Pity the nations, O our God; constrain the earth to come;
send thy victorious Word abroad, and bring the strangers home.
We long to see thy churches full, that all the chosen race
may with one voice, and heart, and soul, sing thy redeeming grace.
Isaac Watts

In his transcripts of Millenniyule, Katana17 has got to @Radical_Liberation — who is now a subscriber to this channel. Radical Liberation is the son of a missionary to the Jews. The only word that defeated the transcriber was Kirkcudbright.
RadLib’s and his wife’s commendable achievement of having eight children is rare in the US, eye-rollingly exceptional in Britain and the white Commonwealth, but still common in the Dutch Bible Belt. The church where I’m a deacon is only seventy strong (a tiny congregation size in Dutch Reformed terms) but has three families of that size.

Serious comments requested: Does this 2019 paper constitute good evidence that asymptomatic spread of respiratory virus infection is normal and common? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6518513/
Subscriber's response:
In this study a PCR test was used to detect infection. (Methodology – Specimen Collection and Analysis; in basic English: we took a swab sample from participants — from the nose — twice a week and tested it using a PCR test).
1. A PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test does not check for a virus, but only for a bit/bits of its genetic code (RNA/DNA). If you want to see a virus, you have to do a culture; you have to grow it on a cell culture. The only result of the PCR test is: I have found the bit I was looking for (with such and such certainty). Nothing else. One cannot infer anything based on this knowledge alone. It would be a parallel to: I have found a footprint in the street, maybe there was a crime committed, and I will solve it.
2. PCR is not a quantitative test; it only says if what I'm looking for is there or not, it does not say how much of it is there. Why is this important? Let’s say the immune system is like an army. One enemy soldier will be easily defeated, while whole enemy platoons may exhaust it and take over. So the dose of an infectious agent is important. PCR does not inform about that, it only says here is a sign of a foreign soldier... a footprint in the street...
So PCR cannot say anything about infection per se. And therefore it cannot say anything about a possible transmission of an infection to other subjects.

The same subscriber's even longer version for the hardcore:
Ok, if you still did not give up, let’s put the story straight.
The story always starts with a patient seeing a doctor. The doctor first talks and listens to the patient: takes the history of the presenting complaint(s). These complaints — what the patient reports — are called symptoms. These are thing like: I have a pain here, I have found this bump there, I feel rather tired, I cannot sleep well etc.
If a patient says, "I feel fluish", it is good practice to ask what exactly he or she means: what are the symptoms? (Fever, headache, muscle aches, runny nose, sore throat, shortness of breath, tiredness, lack of concentration, to mention but a few, so fluish is not a symptom, and is not clearly defined, can mean many things to many people.)
The conversation continues by focusing on personal medical history, or what medical problems or interventions there were in the past (if any), problems in the family etc.
Then the doctor performs a physical examination, looking for signs of disease by taking observations (respiratory rate, pulse, blood pressure, saturation of oxygen etc.) and performing the clinical examination (e.g. listens to the heart, lungs, palpitates the abdomen, tries to elicit reflexes, etc). *
To an experienced clinician, this usually suffices to arrive at a rather narrow differential diagnosis, i.e. what is going on with the patient.
ONLY AFTER that come requests for laboratory tests and imaging, if they can help in further clinical management and/or decisions about treatment(s). Now, PCR tests belong to this category. To start here is to stand the whole story on its head (recently this seems to be fashionable, but only leads to delusions). **
In the case of a suspected respiratory infection, the only important matter is to distinguish between a viral and bacterial source of infection (a proper history, examination and blood tests will do), since the latter may need an antibiotic treatment. In the case of the former, there is hardly ever a clinical need to differentiate which virus is responsible, since the treatment is the same, boosting patients’ immune system (rest, bed rest, vitamins, zinc, fluids, sleep, patience) and alleviation of the symptoms, if appropriate. There is no clinical need for a PCR test in such situation.
It never works the other way around.
* Here we can see that if a patient (or a nurse, for that matter) presents with a FINDING, e.g. "I have high blood pressure", we have to start from the beginning, as described above, to come to the picture of where the elevated blood pressure really fits or belongs (if, in fact, it really is elevated!). An elevated marker in a blood test without the knowledge of the patient’s clinical state is impossible to interpret.
If I am informed by a nurse, for example, that a patient’s potassium level is dangerously high (based on blood results), that the patient may die and needs urgent treatment, then if I act on that call alone, without examining the patient or double checking the result, I could possibly kill the patient by my negligence!
A similar story is that of a raised CRP (C-reactive protein), a marker of inflammation. A raised CRP, on its own account, does not warrant antibiotic treatment nor a hospital stay for the patient. It may well, but the story has to start from the beginning.
Dr Vit Kopecky
Prove me wrong. I am waiting.
A final note [by Dr Kopecky]:
I am not able to comment if viruses really exist or not, I have not done a deep enough dive into it. Even if they do not, all of the above holds true. Define the problem, and search for solutions. A “flu” is just a “flu”.

The last note Dr Kopecky made in the above made the text too long for a Telegram post. Here it is on its own:
** On D-dimer: This is a by-product of the last of the series of reactions that have to take place in order for blood to clot. By measuring it, we can see if clot formation is taking place. Again, that is it! It does not say why, nor where. It only says yes or no. It is not a marker of a pathology per se, it does not diagnose a condition per se. If the result is POSITIVE (the measured number is raised), it does not diagnose a disease (deep vein thrombosis, lung embolism, Covid vaccine injury, etc.) per se!
More commonly, we use a NEGATIVE result to rule out all of the above: if there is no measure of clotting, then no DVT is possible. In the context of the vaccines, if the doctor cannot identify, by an examination, any reason for clotting — and in that group of patients, the test is often POSITIVE — it may imply that some “micro”-clotting is taking place: the doctor cannot see symptoms nor signs of it, yet it must be happening. And the problem is that a blood clot itself triggers the chain of blood-clotting reactions!

It's well worth listening even if you don't have German. Imagine a mainstream radio host in your country giving a medical interviewee this long to answer each question without interruption. Imagine her saying "I didn't know that" in response to his paragraph-long answers, rather than "But surely, but surely" or "So you're saying ...".
BOARDING SCHOOL QUERY
The very worthy daughter of a Dutch friend is looking for an open-minded British boarding school, preferably of real Christian ethos, with fees under £25,000 whose applications for the sixth form for the coming year are still open. She'd prefer International Baccalaureate but wouldn't turn down a suitable school that does A-levels. She is strong in economics, history, swimming and horse riding. She'd like to read Law at university. She despises cliquiness, jolly hockey sticks and socialism.

From an exceptional campaigner with a long track record of good judgement, John Goss:
“Today Gunner can no more deliver with the clean accomplished persona of a politician in control. Worry is written all over his face. He stumbles even more than before over his words, and reads from a script his puppeteers have provided for him. His message is for those sensible enough not to have taken the toxic jabs to stay home.
Hopefully the aboriginals will take decision-making back, not on the basis of a politician’s broken promise, but by their own volition, into their own hands.
In this world or the next judgment-day will come for this evil man, Gunner. His attempt to dictate a malevolent agenda as an example for other states to follow will see him looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life. The victims are not going to easily forgive and forget.”

There has been justified consternation at the footage of a German girl being dragged away by burly Polizei barely conscious, and having wet herself, after having run away from their grasp earlier for the “crime” of tapping one on the arm as he was assaulting an old man.
Laurence Fox has been among the retweeters of the footage.
The demonstration in question took place in Berlin and actually happened a year and a quarter ago.
