Behold this Cassandric headline from yesterday’s Daily Mail UK, which unintentionally revealed the scale of a tidal wave of novel jab injuries in a whole new category. This story connects some dots that will blow your mind.

We begin with Gina’s SADS story. Pay special attention to the highlighted phrase:

Gina’s tragic bad luck isn’t our point, but let’s still pause to pay our respects. Her story sounds all too maddeningly familiar: Gina had some difficult flu symptoms, drove to the ER, doctors said it was just a virus, go home and sleep it off, she went home and climbed into bed, went septic while sleeping, this time ambulanced back to the ER, where she had an ultra-rare complication, stroked out and died, that fast, less than a day, the end.

Gina’s twin-like sister Maria described Gina as “young, fit, and healthy.” We don’t know Gina’s jab status for sure, but in March 2022, the BBC reported that a whopping 92% of British adults had scored at least one jab, with 85% more having already passed second jab going around 85mph and rapidly homing in on third. Given those odds, plus her atypical, young, sudden adult death that a few short years ago would have triggered a major inquest, I will presume Gina was jabbed until offered credible proof she wasn’t.

Gina’s was an awful story, and our hearts break for Maria and for Gina’s other loved ones. But please. What was the reporter doing? Burying the lede.

Let me ask you a hypothetical question. Pretend I am a journalism professor and you are a budding young wannabe reporter, having just submitted Gina’s story as an assignment. I skim it. “It’s a nice start,” I begin encouragingly, “but let me ask you something. Do you think your readers — the general public — will be more interested in Gina’s untimely death or in the worrying rise in sepsis cases?”

Then you answer, “well, Gina’s attractive and relatable and I have this great picture of her…” And I say, “Come on. People should be worried whether it’s going to happen to them. Go rewrite this, make the sepsis outbreak the lede, and use Gina as a two-paragraph human interest hook.”

These student writers!

The bigger story is in there. The Mail did report the sepsis outbreak, but just buried it, a mere side-issue, under a lot of distracting mental junk food. If the sepsis outbreak was the fries, Gina’s story loaded on the cheese sauce, bacon bits, onion straws, shredded lettuce, and ranch dressing. You can’t even see those fries.

Here are the relevant sentences, the facts the Mail actually reported (when you unload Gina’s tragic story):

Sepsis now causes more deaths than breast, prostate and bowel cancer combined. (While sepsis) is most common in the elderly … studies suggest that just under half of all sepsis cases occur in working-age adults.
Sepsis should not be happening in working-age adults in any large numbers.

Sepsis is a sudden bacterial infection that can kill someone in hours. It normally strikes immune compromised people, like the elderly, very young, the chronically-ill, and unfortunate folks hooked up to invasive medical devices for long periods of time. It should not surprise you that sepsis is sort of baffling and mysterious and poorly-understood. It’s not even really a specific disease or condition. It’s a syndrome or process, the body’s overreaction to any type infection — viral, bacterial, or even fungal. It’s a catastrophic failure of the immune system.

Try to follow me here.

Sepsis, as a diagnosis, has several strongly suggestive qualities in light of the recent jabby unpleasantness. First, there’s no test for it, so doctors can diagnose it based on their subjective analysis of symptoms, which could be useful if you wanted to conceal certain death statistics. Second, the most common mechanism of ultimate septic death is blood clots and leaky blood vessels. So. Third, historically speaking, the most rapidly-progressing cases are always seen in the most immunocompromised patients, like elderly folks already in the hospital for some other condition.

Rapid sepsis isn’t normal in young, healthy, 30-year old women like Gina. In fact, it’s super, super rare. Young people need to have really, really bad luck to encounter the disastrous syndrome.

So … what do they say could be causing this sudden outbreak of sepsis in the community, especially among healthy people? You’ll never guess. They’re blaming the doctors. Hey Doctors! You knew it was inevitable you’d be thrown under the bus, right?:

Britain’s worrying rise in deaths from sepsis may be due to some doctors not taking the condition seriously, according to the UK’s top sepsis expert (who said) the blame can also fall on a significant number of sceptical clinicians who believe the crisis is ‘all hype and hysteria’.
See? It’s not the rising cases, it’s doctors failure to respond properly to the rising cases. Brilliant.

They’re arguing that healthy young people like Gina who come in with flu symptoms should also be screened for sepsis — which has no test, mind you — and be immediately started on a massive course of antibiotics if there’s any chance sepsis could be somewhere on the diagnostic radar. It’s utter nonsense. If sepsis is ultra-rare in healthy young people, why should busy ER doctors waste time screening every patient with a sniffle for sepsis, especially considering there’s no test for it? And, if young people normally have less severe cases even when they do get septic, what’s the urgency?

Well, you know the answer. It’s the thing they don’t want to say.

There does seem to be some kind of new epidemic. Just one day before, the Daily Mail ran another sepsis death story, oddly also involving another young woman, aged 29, and also a sister:

The story explained that the young lady died about two weeks ago from “sepsis caused by a rare cancer.” So. A jabby two-fer.

Another story from Sky News on January 20 was headlined “Emily In Paris actor Ashley Park reveals sepsis battle and thanks co-star boyfriend Paul Forman for being at her bedside.” Ashley, 32, got tonsilitis and wound up in the hospital with “several of my organs affected,” and spent “a week in the ICU.” And let’s not forget bizarre pop superstar Madonna, who was hospitalized with sepsis-like symptoms last summer.

I’m going to suggest that it’s not an epidemic of sepsis. Anyway, sepsis is a syndrome and not a condition. But I’ll tell you what corporate media is afraid to tell us. They are afraid to remind us that, back in the 1980’s, people were dying from AIDS, except they weren’t dying from AIDS, so much. AIDS patients were dying in septic shock after otherwise mild infections like flu and tonsillitis and stuff.

The worrying rise in sepsis deaths was just what doctors saw in the 1980’s as the AIDS epidemic took off. That’s what they don’t want to say.

So whenever you read a sepsis headline, especially in a working-age person, think AIDS. Or … VAIDS.
