Why HN links it

HN readers link Igor Chudov's Substack posts mostly as sources on COVID-19 vaccines, birth rates and the lab origin of SARS-CoV-2. Most comments cite them to support or dispute claims, and many contest his conclusions.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 20 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. part of the claim of the furan cleavage "smoking gun" is that the sequence matches a sequence that was patented by Moderna 3 years before the Covid-19 outbreak (Hoping somebody here can shed further light. I don't want to spread misinformation, and I'm not able to corroborate this myself, so be skeptical; however we have seen a lot information manipulation or suppression in every direction the past few years, so be…

  3. And a month later he posted this. https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/uk-births-in-england-colla... ? Common internet debate confirmation bias to grab the first thing you think supports your point after a quick scan, link to it like it is a slam dunk, and read no further. You sounded like you were genuinely interested in learning more, saying you hadn’t seen most of the data so I posted some links to get you started.…

The effect we are talking about is something that necessarily only shows up within the past year, 9 months after young people started getting the shots.

  8. LOL @ the media doing anything besides repeating "safe and effective! safe and effective!" in regards to vaccines any time their string is pulled Rememeber they won't just come out and say "this was made in a lab, duh". You'll have to DYOR. Here's a good starting point: https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/sars-cov-2-was-lab-made-un...

  9. Well, now we're just getting May data and maybe June data. So that would be conceptions starting in August 2021. Here's a really lame screen capture of a visualization I just made with the CDC data. The August time frame is where we're passing 50% of the 25-39 year-olds getting vaccinated. So that would start to show up in the May 2022 birth data. https://pasteboard.co/uhkdWFvhCf9c.png edit: this showed up in my inb…

  10. Not only possible but proven. There are cases where people who suffered extremely severe adverse effects right after vaccination, were recorded by the trial operators as having minor ailments or even having had COVID despite negative tests, e.g. as in this case: https://dailysceptic.org/2022/05/23/concerns-of-fraud-in-pfi...

  12. Why do you think that matters? You cannot simply look at effectiveness against a single endpoint and ignore other outcomes as otherwise you would conclude that cyanide is a 100% effective vaccination against any disease. The goal was to reduce death and illness, not merely move it around, yet the trial data didn't allow any conclusions on whether vaccines save lives or end them overall. Nor did they allow for any as…

  14. No, What I'm saying is that this guy is a run-of-the-mill antivaxxer, even outside Covid. Check his tweets and blog : he writes fallacious pieces against childhood vaccinations like : https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/florida-vaccine-hesitancy-... And no, he's not acting rationally. It may have the flavor of it at first glance, but the implications of what he says being true would invalidate large swathes of science…

  15. > That would certainly seem unlikely. Really the only way that's possible is by vaccinated groups having different behavior. No, other possibilities which have been observed with other pathogens are Original Antigenic Sin (i.e. perhaps targeting the spike protein from the now-extinct Wuhan strain gets the immune system "stuck in a rut" with a less optimal response) or Antibody Dependent Enhancement. Not to say that…

  16. My point was if vaccinated could spread covid, and that paper shows the viral load is just as high so they can. Yes vaccinated with pre-alpha, alpha, and delta have faster viral clearance... but what about Omicron which is 99% of cases now? Maybe the study was done too early, but the results are very bad for vaccinated with Omicron. "In other words: out of 100 boosted persons who catch Covid, 31 — or one-third — wil…

  20. FDA has as much credibility as the SEC. SEC prosecuted LBRY token, while letting FTX steal people's money to fund fraudulent covid studies for the establishment. [1] Those studies encouraged vaccination, which allowed the covid vaccines to kill millions of people from blood clots, cardiac problems and cancer. [2] They only tested the boosters on 8 mice [3], so I guess they really do are about animal welfare. FDA cou…
