 A while back LifeSite News posted an article (link) claiming that the Pfizer vaccine made people more susceptible to the vaccine.

 So I dug into the papers and spent about 8hrs+ to check into their claims.  I did the math and mapped out my results (attached).

My conclusion is that, the data does not claim what they think it claims.  The placebo incidence rate was about 140 cases / 1000 person years.  When the placebo group was immunized, those not previously infected, had an incidence of 52 cases per 1000 person years.

Last time I checked, 52 is still less than 140.

P.S. A more detailed version of this containing my ramblings etc will follow tomorrow.

Placebo 833 5.857 19741 142.2
Study A Grp B Vaccine 81 6.34 20533 12.8
Placebo 854 6.11 20595 139.8
Study B Vaccine

Placebo (Vaccinated Later)

In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

By
Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making.  It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX.  The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience.  The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members.  It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...

What the heck is a congregation of "Pontifical Right"

By
+ JMJ In a discussion with a friend the question occurred to me that I didn't actually know was is involved in being a religious order of 'pontifical right'. I had a vague notion that this meant they reported to Rome as opposed to the local diocese. I'm also aware that, according to the accounts I have heard, the Archbishop received 'praise' and the written direction to incardinate priests directly into the SSPX.  This is interesting because it implies that the SSPX priests were no longer required to incardinate in the local diocese but in the SSPX. This is something that belongs to an order of 'pontifical right'. Anyway here's some definitions: Di diritto pontificio is the Italian term for “of pontifical right” . It is given to the ecclesiastical institutions (the religious and secular institutes, societies of apostolic life) either created by the Holy See or approved by it with the formal decree, known by its Latin name, Decretu...
