Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment

* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
The top part of the chart gives the population 'N' in each group...
I agree that the numbers are too small to be statistically significant, proving Dr. Fauci's recent conclusion that these vaccines were a public health failure. The point of the paper I showed you is those early therapeutics reduced hospitalization by 85% in high-risk patients within the unvaccinated cohort.(see attachment) Our pharma-corrupted governments banned this to ensure all roads led to mass vaccination. Also, especially in the older cohorts that are fully boosted, Vaccine Fatality Rates are 1%.
Dr Fauci's recent admission that the injections were useless and a public health failure.
The report was authored by Denis G. Rancourt, Marine Baudin, Joseph Hickey, and Jérémie Mercier.
In the report, the vaccine-dose fatality rate (the ratio of vaccine-induced deaths to vaccine doses delivered in a population) from the COVID-19 vaccines is found to increase exponentially with age and to be close to 1% for the oldest age group.
The authors also estimate a global total of approximately 13 million deaths from the COVID-19 vaccines.
The report contains a detailed explanation of the methodology used, with accompanying technical appendices.
Governments were insisting even COVID recovered take the injections insisting that natural immunity given to the COVID infected is does not exist, defying the entire
basis of the science of immunology.
This published paper shows Natural Immunity is Robust and superior to vaccine-induced immunity. So why the hell was millions of people that were already recovered from COVID forced to damage their excellent Natural immunity with these injections????
Anyone who thinks the government is here to help is out of their mind!
Governments forcing these useless, harmful injections on the population is the greatest crime against humanity ever perpetrated. As far as age stratification id concerned given that these were supposed to be aimed at the elderly population age stratification still does not refute that the more doses, the more the immune system is destroyed. The older cohort is statistically significant. The younger cohort is not.
Giving the elderly and immunocompromised the third dose was medical malpractice. Even though it was advertised, they needed it the most they were the ones that needed to avoid it.
COVID-19 pandemic China lab leak >>> governments lock down free people and give them free money, trillions of dollars >>> crushing high interest rates and inflation hits back, hard >>> banks fail.
Another way to cope: stand exactly where the shooter was when he blew Kennedy's head off. This is a creepy place, you can feel hideous, dark, slimy, evil, sick, cold energy when you inhabit the exact spot. Move two feet to either side, or back, and you do not feel it. X marks the spot, it is closer in reality than it looks in photos and film.

One way to cope is to visit the graves of the Cowboys from Hell. Vinnie Paul on the left, Dimebag Darrell on the right (the markers I mean) of the band Pantera.
The NY Times and The Atlantic are nothing but WEF-controlled propaganda rags.No published peer review evidence in the article, just nonsense spewed by a couple of bought and paid-for scientists. These articles are so ridiculous that it insults the intelligence of even someone with a modicum of knowledge about virology and evolution.
As per Dr. Malone.
Well, things are getting interesting on the fifth generation information warfare battleground concerning the origins of SARS-CoV-2.
For those who (like me) find the preponderance of information makes a compelling case for a laboratory origin, this appeared to have been mostly settled. Both Jeffrey Sachs (chair of the Lancet commission investigating the origin) and World Health Organization (WHO) Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus have concluded that SARS-CoV-2 was engineered in a laboratory (see this reference). The Department of Energy (DOE) in a classified intelligence report has concluded that Covid-19 most likely originated with a leak from a laboratory, although this conclusion was made with “low” confidence. The FBI backed the lab leak theory with “moderate confidence” in a 2021 report. Christopher Wray, the FBI director, has also weighed in on the debate over Covid’s origins and endorsed the theory that it may have leaked from a lab. (see this reference). And we recently had Robert (Bob) Redfield throw Anthony Fauci, NIAID, the US State Department, USAID, and DoD under the bus concerning funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (now under control of the CCP Peoples Revolutionary Army) to perform the gain of function research which purportedly gave rise to this virus. In this “Who is Robert Malone” substack, we have previously covered the Project Veritas document releases which appear to explain the “rationale” for this funding (see this reference and this 2022 reference) and Redfield’s testimony (see this reference).
Now we also have these additional truth bombs from Senate investigator Diane Cutler, Senator Roger Marshall, and CBS News. Video is available here.
According to records reviewed by CBS News, the U.S. government may have made duplicate payments for projects at labs in Wuhan, China, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
"I've found evidence that points to double billing, potential theft of government funds. It is concerning, especially since it involves dangerous pathogens and risky research," said Diane Cutler, a former federal investigator with over two decades of experience combating white-collar crime and healthcare fraud.
Cutler found evidence of possible double payments as she investigated U.S. government grants that supported high risk research in China leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic. She was hired by Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, who took her records to USAID and the internal watchdog at USAID, which launched a new probe, details of which have not been previously reported.
Cutler said she has viewed over 50,000 documents and that the U.S. government may have made duplicate payments for possible medical supplies, equipment, travel, and salaries.
Sources told CBS News that tens of millions of dollars could be involved.
Sources familiar with the grant records did not dispute CBS News reporting.
A spokesperson for USAID declined to comment. A USAID inspector general spokesperson declined to comment "on the existence of a specific open investigation." The press office for NIH did not respond to CBS News' questions.
Sources told CBS News the investigation of possible double-billing could take at least six months to conclude.
Marshall is now calling for a 9/11-style commission.
"I think there are 1.1 million reasons American taxpayers should care," he said. "You'll have a plane crash. We want to find out why the plane crashed. We go to any lengths to do that. And the hope is we don't have another plane crash for the same reason."
While intelligence agencies have not been able to reach a consensus on the origin of the pandemic, the FBI and Energy Department have found an accidental lab leak is plausible. The Wuhan Institute of Virology conducted viral research in the city where the SARS-CoV-2 virus first emerged.
During a recent congressional hearing regarding the origins of COVID-19, the House voted unanimously on a bill ordering the declassification of intelligence about the origins. Robert Redfield, the former director of the CDC, testified that money from the NIH, the State Department, USAID and the Defense Department provided funding for high-risk virus research in Wuhan.
In the face of this rising tide of consensus regarding the origin of SARS-CoV-2 and the role of the US Government (and the retired/not retired USG employee/consultant Anthony Fauci), Dr. Fauci has apparently decided to mount a media campaign to create confusion and a cloud of ambiguity around the issues. Sycophantic corporate media (such as MSNBC), which has been complicit in spreading the mis- dis- and mal-information peddled throughout the CORONAcrisis by Dr. Fauci, is lapping all of this up and is gladly amplifying his limited hangouts, misdirections, obfuscations and misrepresentations - because they have been actively complicit in facilitating the lies, censorship and gaslighting which has characterized the WHO and US Governments’ response throughout the CORONAcrisis.
Regarding whether Dr. Fauci is representing himself or the USG at this point, I have it from a reliable source that he has worked out some sort of employment agreement which allows him to have six HHS Marshalls/Inspector general agents protect and drive him around. A big outstanding question is how is Fauci still is able to be employed by the USG and to get government assigned protection and drivers?

Nattokinase in the Prevention and Treatment of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseas

Opinion Article
Approximately 15% of Americans who took a COVID-19 vaccine have some new medical illness and regret the shot. Many are looking to nattokinase in formulations of Spike protein support supplements asking is it safe, and what is the track record for this Asian discovery?
Chen et al reviewed human studies before the pandemic on the use of nattokinase with this introduction: “Natto, a cheese-like food made of soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis, has been consumed as a traditional food in Asian countries for more than 2000 years. Natto consumption is believed to be a significant contributor to the longevity of the Japanese population. Recent studies demonstrated that a high natto intake was associated with decreased risk of total CVD mortality and, in particular, a decreased risk of mortality from ischaemic heart diseases.
Before the 1980s, very little was known about the mechanism by which natto consumption led to overall cardiovascular health. In 1987, Sumi et al discovered that natto contained a potent fibrinolytic enzyme called nattokinase (NK). Since then, a considerable amount of NK research has been performed on NK in Japan, Korea, China, and the United States, and these studies confirmed that NK, an alkaline protease of 275 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of approximately 28 kDa, is the most active ingredient of natto and is responsible for many favourable effects on cardiovascular health. First, NK has potent fibrinolytic/antithrombotic activity.
In addition, in both animal and human studies, NK also has an antihypertensive, anti-atherosclerotic, lipid-lowering, antiplatelet/anticoagulant, and neuroprotective actions…The most unique feature of NK is that, as a single compound, it possesses multiple CVD preventative and alleviating pharmacologic effects (namely, antithrombotic, antihypertensive, anticoagulant, anti-atherosclerotic, and neuroprotective effects). There are no other drugs or drug candidates with multiple pharmacologic properties similar to NK. In addition, NK is a natural product that can be administered orally, has a proven safety profile, is economical to use, and provides distinct advantages over other pharmaceutical products.”
In drug development, the most important early observations are on safety. There are two units used in nattokinase dosing, e.g. 100 mg=2000 fibrinolytic units (FU). In the table, Lampe et al in 2016 tested nattokinase up to 10 mg/kg/day (~160,000 FU for an 80 kg person). That means in doses of 100 mg or 2000 FU twice a day are well within a safety range to avoid significant toxicities.
In summary this review is reassuring that the ever-increasing use of nattokinase in post-COVID-19 and after COVID-19 vaccine injuries is safe and reasonably well tolerated.
There may be additional benefits on the cardiovascular system. There is a pressing need for continued clinical development for the COVID-19 and cardiovascular indications. Patients wanting to use the supplement ahead of the emerging science given the lack of FDA approved indication should discuss with a knowledgeable healthcare professional and be on alert for intolerances, allergic reactions, or bleeding complications.
Bang: Switzerland withdraws all Covid vaccination recommendations
April 07, 2023

Switzerland stops the Covid vaccinations: All vaccination recommendations have been withdrawn, doctors can only administer the controversial vaccines in individual cases under certain conditions - but then bear the risk of liability for vaccination damage. When will countries like Germany and Austria follow this example?
The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and the Federal Commission for Vaccination Issues (EKIF) state, as of 3.4.23, in their vaccination recommendation ( can be found on this websi
In principle, the FOPH and EKIF will not formulate a recommendation for vaccination against Covid-19 in spring/summer 2023 due to the expected low virus circulation and the high level of immunity in the population.
Vaccination is only possible in individual cases – namely:
Vaccination is possible for people who are particularly at risk (BGP) ≥ 16 years of age if the attending physician considers it to be medically indicated in the respective epidemiological situation in the individual case, a temporarily increased protection against serious illness is to be expected and the last vaccination dose at least 6 months ago.
However, no vaccination recommendation for risk patients is explicitly given here.
In the following, it will be discussed that the effectiveness of vaccinations against current variants is reduced and short-lived - especially for people who are at risk. The adaptation of the mRNA vaccine could not keep up with the development of the variants. The BAG's recommendations could change if there was a new wave of outbreaks, but even then, according to the document, vaccinations are no longer recommended for people under the age of 65.
No positive risk-benefit ratio
The remarks on “Adverse Vaccination Symptoms” (UIE) are also piquant:
According to the current state of knowledge, the risk of severe UIE with a recommended vaccination is much lower than the risk of a complication from Covid-19, against which the vaccination protects. The benefit of the vaccination administered according to the recommendation therefore outweighs the possible risks.
In the case of the valid non-recommendation, this essentially means that there is no longer a positive benefit-risk ratio for any Covid vaccination. Liability: the federal government is out, doctors have a duty
Compensation by the federal government to injured persons for vaccination damage can only be considered for vaccinations if they were officially recommended or ordered (see Art. 64 EpG).
However, the federal government only stepped in if the damage was not covered by the vaccine manufacturer, the person vaccinating or an insurance company. The person vaccinating - i.e. generally the doctor - can be held liable if he has violated the duty of care. In this context, it is pointed out that the same rules regarding patient information apply to the Covid vaccination as to all other vaccination. However, very few doctors are likely to have informed their patients correctly about all the risks and side effects and the limited effectiveness of the Covid vaccinations. The off-label use of vaccines (not unusual for Covid vaccinations. For example, the bivalent mRNA vaccines in Switzerland are not approved as first vaccinations, not as a booster for people under the age of 18 and not as a fifth vaccination) must be discussed become. For doctors, the justification of vaccinations is becoming more difficult due to the changed recommendations, according to a BAG document on liability issues:
Suppose the doctor treating you chooses or prescribes a vaccine based on the vaccination recommendations of the BAG. In that case, he/she can prove that he/she has observed the recognized medical and pharmaceutical sciences rules and has therefore fulfilled the duty of care under the law on therapeutic products.
The “ Weltwoche ” reports that from now on, the doctors will have to be held liable for the vaccination – which means that their willingness to vaccinate is likely to decrease significantly.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his presidential campaign on Wednesday ... built on re-litigating Covid-19 shutdowns and shaking Americans’ faith in science.
