COVID-19 ... how we cope :)

[Bob Gillanders]

So your proposition is that an influx of highly skilled youth has captured rating points, leading to significant rating deflation of the older generation of chess players? I am not sure if online ratings are a completely different animal. Youth are more into online chess, and hence I would expect that they would float to the top of the ratings and someone like me would get beaten down to the level of a beginner based on the lurid descriptions of rating declines of Bob A and yourself. Bob A was not much different than me at around 1900.
I don't see any evidence of anything like that happening to me.
This would make an interesting study: vax versus unwaxed chess player rating evolution post-vax. It would factor out the "more skilled young chess players stealing the rating points theory" or prove your hypothesis correct if vax status makes no difference.

Oh Sid, that really does not describe accurately my comments. It has been discussed previously here and on CFC forum. If you want to research that yourself, great.
The 2 Bob's and others brought up this issue years ago, and we struggled to gain wide spread acceptance that rating deflation was real, not a hoax.
But then the mathematicians at FIDE came to the same conclusion. So much so that they did a rating adjustment upward as of March 1, 2024.
You could review their findings as well. Again, we are talking about OTB ratings only, not online ratings.

Of course, the ratings decline of the Bob's is a combination of numerous factors, including aging etc. we acknowledge that.

Have a nice day.

Yes, really. But I speak only of OTB rating systems. Online ratings are a completely different animal

Really? I play online chess, and my rating fluctuates in the same tight range it has for years: expert-weak master. I haven't seen hoards of young ones
clean my clock all of a sudden. please explain. I play mostly five-minute blitz.

5 minute blitz is all about cheapos.

Try 40 moves in 2 hours against the youngsters to see where you really are.

LOOL spoken like a true patzer, ha!

I have some good news for you Bob. Your rating decline is only 546 points and most of that is attributable to general rating deflation.
It is simple demographics related to the severe shift to a younger pool of chess players. This began before COVID and was accelerated when play resumed after COVID.

My decline was almost 700 points, and many others have similar stories.

We are not mad cows.

How about "angry bulls"? LOL

taking care of my health, as a senior with diabetes, by getting COVID-19 vaccine shots regularl

Ironically, the older you are, the worse the shots are for you. Let's start with one of the deadliest Neurodegenerative diseases, Jacob Creutzedeld disease, aka Mad Cow disease, which has proven to be vax-induced. Before the vaccine rollout, this occurred in one in a million people, or 300 people a year in the US. Now it occurs in around 12 in 60000 people or around 70000(!) people a year in the US alone.

How do I know this, Bob? Unlike you, I use scientific methods and investigate.

I wrote an article about this back in August 2022. Besides the six cases of CJD reported, we received 60 cases of serious neurological diseases that would indicate close to 1,000,000 US cases a year of other neurological diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc. So yes, even though your rating plummeted before the pandemic, your decline in rating accelerated significantly post-vax.
The good news is you are still alive, so hopefully, you were injected with a placebo, especially if you are part of a long-term study.
If people like Dr. Francis Boyle are signing affidavits stating these are bioweapons, you had better believe it!

New Data Confirms Injections Cause Previously Rare Creutzfeld Jacobs Disease

By Sid Belzberg

Last fall my colleagues Adam Gaertner and others hosted this website for a few months:

https://prions.rip

During those few months in the fall we received about 15,000 hits.

We requested at the time that anyone who after the injection experienced serious neurological problems or their loved ones to submit a report to the site.

We received 60 reports, including 6 cases of diagnosed Creutzfeld Jacobs Diseases (CJD). Normally this disease affects 1 in a 1,000,000 people. To get 6 cases you would need 6,000,000 hits to the site assuming everyone reports. The chances of getting 1 case in 15000 hits is 1 in 66. To see 6 cases in 1 group of 15000 is 1/66^6 or 1 in 82,000,000,000, or 20 times more likely to win a powerball lottery!

We recently put the site back up, and again ask if anyone that has experienced serious neurological events post-vax to please submit a report here: https://prions.rip

* * *

"Fringe scientists" that supported our hypothesis last year included the late Dr. Luc Montagnier, Nobel laureate.

---

To reiterate, CJD is an exceptionally rare disease that is now a known and established severe adverse reaction (SAE) from the DEATHVAX™. Injecting this slow kill bioweapon can cause ailments that are about as likely to develop in the real word as getting struck by lighting twice.

The proof is now irrefutable.

Reasons for Bob's Momentous Standard Chess Rating Plunge (CFC 1911 to 1365)

1. More stupid now.
2. Move a bit slower with the 79th birthday next month.
3. I am not techie and so can't take full advantage of all the new chess study aids.
4. I am a very busy almost 79 year old (My friends tell me....even over-busy) and so can't take full advantage of all the new chess study aids.
5. My sections that I play in are vast seas, containing little sharks, from 5 - 17 y.o.. They are taking full advantage of all the new chess study aids. They take no prisoners!
6. Like with the Boomer's Wealth, we are now seeing the greatest generational transfer of rating points ever: from us Boomers to the newest generation that doesn't even yet have a name.

[Note: Ageism is a prejudice.]

P.S. - Sid's allegation that it is due to my taking care of my health, as a senior with diabetes, by getting COVID-19 vaccine shots regularly is............
FALSE! Don't believe him - his brain is addled by too much Quantum Physics Theory. My rating was plummeting long before the pandemic!

Definition of "Vaccine"

Courts use language very carefully!

9th Circuit Court of Appeals Ruling

Very conservative, in my view: that Modified mRNA “vaccines” do not qualify under the existing definition of "vaccine" .

Short & Sweet!

Sid's Hyperbolic Extrapolation from this ruling: Modified mRNA "vaccines/whatever they are" are in fact "slow-kill bio-weapons".

Sid - Please.........Don't hold your breath waiting for a second court hearing to extend the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal very technical ruling into your monumental statement......you can't hold your breath that long!

Bob A

Sid's Hyperbolic Extrapolation

My "extrapolation" is based on science, not just legal rulings, something your vax-induced demented brain can not comprehend. You
wonder why your chess rating has plummeted to that of a beginner!

As usual, Bob falls back on his trusted sword of ignorance.



BMJ (Brit. Med. Journal): excess deaths in 47 Western countries (1/20 to 12/22

https://bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/cont...00282.full.pdf.

"Conclusions Excess mortality has remained high in the Western World for three consecutive years, despite the implementation of containment measures and COVID-19 vaccines. This raises serious concerns. Government leaders and policymakers need to thoroughly investigate underlying causes of persistent excess mortality."

BOMBSHELL: 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Rules Modied mRNA "Vaccines" Are Slow Kill Bioweapons

The "vaccine" makers are now stripped of Legal Liability Protection

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals did not exactly come to the obvious conclusion that these Modified mRNA “vaccines” are in fact slow kill bioweapons yet, but their monumental ruling that they do not qualify as vaccines proper does mean that at some point in the not so distant future (when the excess deaths and turbo cancers become even worse) they will ultimately rule that these gene altering “therapeutics” are a mass eugenics program.

The PSYOP-19 DEATHVAX™ never prevented the spread of any “pandemic,” nor did it attenuate symptoms whatsoever; no, the “it would have been so much worse if I didn’t get vaccinated” excuse for those that contracted COVID post their poisonous injections was just more of the same “Trust the Science” reality inversion.

The Intelligence Industrial Complex along with Fauci’s NIH and NIAID and BigPharma always knew that their DEATHVAX™ would be utterly unsafe and ineffective as per the ferret, mice and rat studies that they themselves funded decades ago — not a single animal fared well in any of the Modified mRNA trails, and this deadly platform could never ever get to human trials, which is precisely why they foisted their scamdemic to push through Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). In reality there was never any emergency; well, actually, the illegitimate and captured governments along with their partners-in-crime are the only true emergency, but we digress.

Here, however, plaintiffs allege that the vaccine does not effectively prevent spread but only mitigates symptoms for the recipient and therefore is akin to a medical treatment, not a ‘traditional’ vaccine. Taking plaintiffs’ allegations as true at this stage of litigation, plaintiffs plausibly alleged that the COVID-19 vaccine does not effectively ‘prevent the spread’ of COVID-19. Thus, Jacobson does not apply.

The Jacobson v. Massachusetts ruling that, “mandatory vaccinations were rationally related to “preventing the spread” of smallpox” remains wholly unconstitutional and is an egregious violation of all human rights. Jacobson should never apply in any case, even if there was some kind of legitimate Bubonic Plague 2.0 outbreak, but we digress yet again.

The 9th Circuit ruled that the DEATHVAX™ cannot be considered a vaccine if the claim is that it does NOT prevent the spread; therefore, all Legal Liability Protections are now stripped, and major lawsuits may commence.

And on October 22nd, 2014, during the Gain of Function (GoF) moratorium, Fauci authorized Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to continue his illegal bioweapon research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology:

Hence, PSYOP-19 was always a U.S. made bioweapon as funded by the American tax slaves, and these “voluntarily” extorted Americans ended up paying for their very own demise given that the “free” EUA “vaccines” were always the primary payload, not the GoF virus.

Now that this 9th Circuit ruling is in the books, the legal floodgates have been opened, and plaintiffs must go straight past the BigPharma assets, and directly sue the DEATHVAX™ patent holders in the DoD and Pentagon, as well as the various “nonprofit” coconspirators, and the criminal Federal agencies like the NIAID, NIH, CIA, et al.

Time is of essence, because the next GoF “pandemic” in PSYOP-DISEASE-X is well underway:

Yes, the same bioterrorists are at it again, yes bird flu is another GoF bioweapon, yes another deadly Modified mRNA vaccine has already been stockpiled, and yes they are escalating their takedown of the entire global food supply; to wit:

This 9th Circuit ruling represents a major turning point in not just all things scamdemic, but, also, in terms of the United Nations and their eugenics “health” node the World Health Organization attempting to subvert States’ Rights in America with their murderous “pandemic treaty” power grab.

They want you dead.

Do NOT comply.
