My thoughts exactly. It seems rare today to see any public official or spokesperson apologizing for being wrong. They're never wrong anymore. Not publically anyway. There are always a hundred excuses thrown out to save face.
Igor isn't exactly a public official obviously. But it gives me confidence to see someone own up and be honest. To err is human.
No rock needed. This is how science advances. You ask important questions. You analyze data, and like all humans you occasionally make a mistake, you are honest enough to admit your mistake and reattract it when you do. This is why people enjoy reading your blog. Thanks for all your hard work and for advancing science.
Don’t swear it! Just the fact that you want to “crawl under a rock” makes you an infinitely more honest and reliable source than 99.9% of other scientists, academics and commentators. People who acknowledge mistakes are easier to trust. You could teach our prime minister (NZ) a thing or two.
Admitting mistakes is one of the greatest markers of adulthood (as I'm reminded by my wife): the problem isn't making mistakes, but not learning from them.
So: what was the problem with your piece?
In other news: 'Vaccine Evasion' Shows Vaxxed Require Hospitalisation and End Up in the ICU 11-13X Compared to 'Unvaccinated'. There were also 7X more deaths among the former, and while Omicron is receding, the IPH still peddles 'vaccines protect' BS while calling for 'strengthened surveillance' to be prepared
"Please ignore my previous post about Paxlovid. It was mistaken. Big apologies, time to crawl under my rock."
That doesn't sound like Igor. It sounds more like something a corporate-sponsored cyber terrorist would post after a successful infiltration. And the fact that he hasn't posted in days suggests that they could have changed his password and locked him out of his account. If true, this doesn't bode well for the future of dissent on this subject. They're not even going to leave Substack alone...
I hope there's a laptop under your rock, because I am looking forward to your next article.
I think if any of us here relied on a human being to be infallible and never make errors, we would have been vaccinated by now. :) There's a reason they added that edit button in the comments section...we all make mistakes and don't catch them until afterward.
What happened? Did Pfizer come to you and make threats unless you retract? Or did you REALLY make a mistake? If the latter, why don't you explain what the mistake was, and correct it instead of crawling under rocks.
Regarding "Vaccinated People Cannot Clear Covid" - check this out:
"The RNA code counted in PCR tests, previously attributed to SARS-CoV-2, belongs instead to a respiratory-virus-induced immune system response by human cells that liberate exosomes, and that vitiate PCR test results. PCR tests have zero specificity in vivo due to the exosome RNA. PCR tests exhibit excellent specificity in vitro on pure samples of other respiratory viruses. Low success rate of vaccines is explained by inexact identification of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA."
The Lancet Respiratory Medicine: Role of exosomes in false-positive covid-19 PCR tests
When the vaccinated "keep getting Covid," this may not be an infection. Instead, the vaccine has programmed their bodies to create poison. Once poisoned, the bodies create an exosome that's picked up on PCR tests for Covid.
In this case, Covid is poisoning, and the vaccines give you perpetual Covid!
This is damning; also, it puts paid to the "reinfection" concept, as I have repeatedly pointed out here. So no more "reinfection" after crawling out from under the rock, I hope.
Thanks Igor! I was asked about paxlovid by a friend who has two family members with covid. Apparently paxlovid works by blocking a protease enzyme to block viral replication, which is also how ivermectin and quercetin work (as zinc ionophores). My friend's concern was how it impacts the immune system after learning about the damage vaccines do to the innate immune system. (See https://jessicar.substack.com/p/the-bnt162b2-mrna-vaccine-against)
But if all paxlovid does is block the protease enzyme, it hopefully has no negative impact on innate immunity (fingers crossed)...
I was also interested to see that paxlovid is a the top of the list for treating early covid according to this document, along with personal faves Nigella sativa (black seed), quercetin (in apples and onions), curcumin (turmeric), etc. I was also interested to see that "rundeathisnear" is listed, albeit near the bottom...
😄👏 or instead of crawling under a rock, time to have a beer and celebrate all your great posts, and your integrity and honesty. 🍻

An indisputable fact: we ALL make mistakes.
Well done. Takes a commitment to objectivity. Would not expect less from you.
What! Are you analyzing, thinking, trying to understand or what? Why don’t you just eat the blue pill and follow the narrative? ;)
Thanks Igor.
Would like an explanation about the mistake, though.
Thank you for admitting your mistake and for your excellent writing. Keep doing both. Your readers trust you because you are willing to admit error.

Don't be too hard on yourself, Igor. We all make mistakes and we are all feeling our way towards the Truth.
No apologies or rock needed, you are integrity in action sir!
Report in the Boston Globe of the rebound effect caused by Paxlovid.

Bingo. Well said. But where did he go wrong? I can't read the article now.
