Coronavirus Update for March, 2021

Posted on by

I suppose I could sum things up this way: lies, more lies, and damned lies.

Where everything BUT “the science” is being followed.

Instead — of course — it’s all about money, money and power, money and power and control. With politics being at the center.

“The science” itself can go straight to hell.

Because, throughout all of this, guess what hasn’t changed from the CDC?

And isn’t it odd that the CDC absolutely must be followed — until the CDC doesn’t need to be granted any veritas because it conflicts with things like Leftist politicians and teachers/ unions.

But before we begin with the facts and alternative thoughts and suggestions (which are so terribly despised by Leftists), I just have to show you this again because it’s, well, funny. Remember: humor is only funny because it contains elements of truth.

As we all know, social media and the American Media Maggots, in concert with the Demorats and Leftists, have done their level best to ensure that you, the average American citizen and — most importantly — taxpayer, has been treated like the average mushroom: kept in the dark, fed shit, and expected to produce nevertheless.

So let’s review, because so much more information has been revealed, and let’s examine this a bit chronologically, shall we, since my last communique on January 26th.

And on January 26th, the CDC made a statement.

CDC officials say schools can re-open during pandemic — but precautions are crucial

by Denise Chow, 1-26-21

Schools should reopen as soon as possible if social distancing and mask-wearing can be maintained to keep in-person learning safe, health officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a study published Tuesday.

The research, published online in the journal JAMA, provides a framework for how to open schools safely while limiting the spread of Covid-19. Research supports “a path forward to maintain or return primarily or fully to in-person instructional delivery,” according to the study.

The recommendations provide some clarity about a contentious topic and offer much-needed guidance for local officials, school administrators and parents.

And while your children were still not in school, the Chicago Teachers Union decided to make an emotive dance video expressing — what exactly, I’m not sure.

“Safe return or no return” the CTU says, because as we all know, teachers are more important than emergency responders, firefighters, law enforcement, paramedics, truck drivers, clerks, mechanics, railroad workers, roofers, restaurant servers, cooks, maintenance workers, plumbers, electricians, contractors, Uber drivers, couriers, bus drivers, fast food workers, utility workers, street pavers, refuse and sanitation workers, signal maintainers, etc. I could go on and on.

The answer is: no they’re not.

We’re also discovering the incredibly corrupt actions and subsequent coverup involving New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and his nursing home orders, also involving, we’ve since discovered, mental health facilities.

New York AG probe prompts Cuomo team to release nursing home COVID death data

by Denis Slattery, 1-28-21

ALBANY — Attorney General Letitia James accused the Cuomo administration Thursday of undercounting COVID nursing home fatalities by as much as 50% in a bombshell report — prompting state officials to finally release long-sought data on deaths.

Following the release of the 76-page report, which also found many elder care facilities failed to protect vulnerable seniors from the deadly virus, state Health Commissioner Howard Zucker provided a breakdown of nursing home deaths.

The new data includes residents who died after being taken to a hospital — information that reporters, advocates and lawmakers have been requesting for months.

This hasn’t stopped either, because students are not back in school for the most part.

Suburban College Student Dies by Suicide After Struggling With Isolation

by Regina Waldrop, 12-11-21

Childrens’ emergency room visits related to mental health have increased significantly during the pandemic, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

An 18-year-old University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign freshman died by suicide in October while grappling with isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, his family said.

Now, his mother is sharing her family’s tragic story in hope of sparing others from similar heartbreak.

Trevor Till, who was from suburban Seneca, excelled in the classroom at Seneca High School and in activities including marching band and cross country.

This parent speaks for most every parent: stop killing our kids and do your jobs..

Of course no one in the American Media Maggots mentioned what Dr Simone Gold pointed out — “Facebook just announced it “made a mistake” when it censored studies showing HCQ saves lives. Censorship is never “a mistake.”  Tech executives repeatedly made a calculated decision, month after month, silencing physicians worldwide.”

The Lancet also retracted an article delineating what it believed were the “disadvantages” of hydroxychloroquine. Imagine that. At least it had the guts to do so.

Governor Cuomo continued to be smug, dismissive and sanctimonious.

Cuomo Dismisses Nursing Home Death Criticism, Tells Critics to ‘Talk to the Federal Government’

Amid criticism that New York underreported deaths from COVID-19 in nursing homes, Governor Andrew Cuomo defended his state’s response and encouraged those who felt there were mistakes made to “talk to the federal government.”

Cuomo’s already taken heat for implementing policies that fostered the spread of the new coronavirus in nursing homes, where some of the most vulnerable people live. Those attacks reignited in the wake of a report from state Attorney General Letitia James that found officials undercounted the number of deaths among seniors by “as much as 50 percent.”

January was also when Juan Williams said “hydroxychloroquine, that’s no hope.”

Then, as now, Leftists like him would rather see people die than admit Trump was correct about that drug, and studies are proving him correct.

We’ll later determine, I predict, that we could have saved thousands and thousands of lives had hydroxychloroquine been utilized prophylactically.

Then vaccines began to emerge and, simultaneously, stories about said vaccines came to light, this first from the UK.

UK Nursing Home: 24 Residents (One Third) Died In 3 Weeks After Experimental MRNA COVID Injections

by Brian Shilhavy, 1-29-21

In what is becoming almost a daily report of massive nursing home deaths following injections of experimental mRNA COVID shots, a nursing home in the U.K. is reporting over one third of their residents have died after receiving the mRNA experimental COVID injections.

You weren’t supposed to hear or read that, of course.

Something strange occurred three days prior to that.

Merck Scraps COVID Vaccines — Says It’s More Effective To Get The Virus And Recover

by Steve Watson, 1-26-21

Vaccine manufacturer Merck has abandoned development of two coronavirus vaccines, saying that after extensive research it was concluded that the shots offered less protection than just contracting the virus itself and developing antibodies.

The company announced that the shots V590 and V591 were ‘well tolerated’ by test patients, however they generated an ‘inferior’ immune system response in comparison with natural infection.

The company stated that instead it will focus on research into therapeutic drugs labeled as MK-7110 and MK-4482.

We also discovered this, regarding China — which should come as no surprise to thinking and cognizant American citizens.

China is collecting the world’s DNA and the reason is sinister: Gordon Chang

by Tony Sahakian, 12-4-20

Gordon Chang warns next disease could be far more deadly than COVID-19

The Peoples Republic of China (PRC) has been collecting people’s DNA for years, and according to Gordon Chang, author of ‘The Coming Collapse of China,’ the country’s sinister motivations should be of great concern to the United States.

With over 80 million health profiles, China has the largest DNA database in the world, and growing. In an interview with Fox News, Chang warned that China plans to use this information to create bioweapons designed to target specific ethnic groups.

“The coronavirus is not the last pathogen that will be generated from Chinese soil. And so we’ve got to be concerned that the next disease is more transmissible and more deadly than the novel coronavirus,” said Chang.

China reportedly collects the DNA of its own citizens for purposes of law enforcement, tracking down dissidents, and forming a tightly controlled surveillance state.

They have also found ways to obtain the DNA of foreigners, including Americans.

How exactly do they get this sensitive information?

“Buying American companies which have DNA profiles, subsidizing DNA analysis for ancestry companies, and hacking,” said Chang.

Let me be blunt: targeting certain ethnicities whilst simultaneously excluding the Chinese themselves. Very specifically-targeted bioweapons — far beyond the “enhancing” done currently to the Coronavirus in Wuhan.

Regarding school closures, the Children’s Health Defense, California Chapter, wrote a letter to California Superintendents which read, in part:

As the world learns to navigate COVID-19, opening schools safely is in everyone’s best interest. We have learned some California public school districts, such as LAUSD, and the California Department of Education (CDE) intend to mandate frequent Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) testing¹ on students and, when investigational COVID-19 vaccines are available to children, intend to mandate students and employees be vaccinated before they can return to campus. We are also monitoring CDE efforts to set up testing and vaccination centers on campuses.

Protracted school closures have created an educational and mental health emergency among students, due to learning loss from remote learning and isolation from their peers, sports, cultural activities, jobs and other support systems. Teen suicides are at an all-time high. One of many tragic losses, teenager Dylan Buckner had “depression worsen significantly after COVID hit,” which led to his suicide. His father stated, “The family believes that had COVID not happened, or the country’s response to COVID had been more effective, Dylan would still be alive today.”³ In contrast, we invite you to learn more about how Alsea School Superintendent Marc Thielman opened schools in an Oregon county in Fall 2020 without incident.

Doctors practice medicine. It’s called “practice” for a reason. That is why you may go from one doctor to another in order to “get a second opinion.” But according to Leftists you should never acquire another opinion that somehow manages to be counter to “theirs.” Well, here’s another doctor’s opinion.

We also know this as well, because I have a history of speaking and writing plainly regarding my thoughts and opinions.

President Trump would have acquired a second term if not for Wuhan-19. The Demorats and Leftists realize it, the American Media Maggots realize it, and China, Russia, North Korea and the bulk of Europe know it as well.

Autopsy Report: Coronavirus Cost Donald Trump Reelection

by Charlie Spierling, 2-2-21

An autopsy report on former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign demonstrates that voters’ perception of his coronavirus response affected his support in key swing states he won in 2016 but lost in 2020.

The report, which Trump’s chief campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio drafted, shows the coronavirus was the most important issue of the 2020 election.

Moving along, we discovered more about Governor Cuomo’s nursing home tragedy and the coverup that came along with it.

NY Senate Democrats block subpoena for COVID-19 nursing home death data

by Carl Campanile and Bernadette Hogan

Democrats who control the state Senate blocked a motion Monday to subpoena records of the Cuomo administration seeking a fuller accounting of nursing home residents who died from the coronavirus.

The motion was made by Sen. Thomas O’Mara, the ranking Republican on the Investigations Committee panel during a virtual meeting

The GOP motion to compel the state Health Department to release records came just days after Attorney General Letitia James issued a blistering report that found Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his health agency withheld an accurate count of the number of nursing home residents who died from COVID-19 by some 50 percent by excluding residents who died after being take to hospitals.

Then something big dropped from the CDC that, clearly, the Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots hadn’t anticipated.

CDC director says schools can safely reopen without vaccinating teachers

by Berkeley Lovelace Jr, 2-3-21

Teachers do not need to get vaccinated against Covid-19 before schools can safely reopen, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.

“There is increasing data to suggest that schools can safely reopen and that safe reopening does not suggest that teachers need to be vaccinated,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told reporters during a White House news briefing on Covid-19.

“Vaccinations of teachers is not a prerequisite for safely reopening schools,” she added.

During a press briefing later Wednesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki walked back Walensky’s comments, saying that they were not “official guidance” from the CDC.

Except that, well, the comments came from the very Director of the CDC, herself. I guess that’s not official.

Bloomberg even posed an interesting question.

When Will Life Return to Normal? In 7 Years at Today’s Vaccine Rates

by Tom Randall, 2-5-21

When will the pandemic end? It’s the question hanging over just about everything since Covid-19 took over the world last year. The answer can be measured in vaccinations.

Bloomberg has built the biggest database of Covid-19 shots given around the world, with more than 119 million doses administered worldwide. U.S. science officials such as Anthony Fauci have suggested it will take 70% to 85% coverage of the population for things to return to normal. Bloomberg’s Vaccine Tracker shows that some countries are making far more rapid progress than others, using 75% coverage with a two-dose vaccine as a target.

Israel, the country with the highest vaccination rate in the world, is headed for 75% coverage in just two months. The U.S. will get there just in time to ring in the 2022 New Year (though North Dakota could get there six months sooner than Texas). With vaccinations happening more rapidly in richer Western countries than the rest of the globe, it will take the world as a whole seven years at the current pace.

The Epoch Times editorial board nailed it with this op-ed piece.

Editorial: Giving the Right Name to the Virus Causing a Worldwide Pandemic

1-28-21

There has been controversy recently about what to call the virus that has unleashed a worldwide pandemic. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) prefers “novel coronavirus.” Others have referred to it as the “Wuhan virus,” after its place of origin, as is common in naming diseases.

The Epoch Times suggests a more accurate name is the “CCP virus,” and calls upon others to join us in adopting this name.

The name holds the CCP accountable for its wanton disregard of human life and consequent spawning of a pandemic that has put untold numbers in countries around the world at risk, while creating widespread fear and devastating the economies of nations trying to cope with this disease.

After all, CCP officials knew in early December that the virus had appeared in Wuhan, but they sat on the information for six weeks. They arrested those who tried to warn of the danger, accusing them of spreading “rumors,” and employed the regime’s rigorous censorship to prevent media coverage and to delete any mentions of it from social media.

What might have been contained was allowed silently to spread, showing up in all of China. Individuals who might have protected themselves became victims, in numbers far greater than the CCP has admitted. By late January, there were reports that all of the crematoria in Wuhan were operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week to deal with the crush of dead bodies.

And still, China has yet to pay any sort of significant price for dropping this little bomb not on just their own nation, but the rest of the planet. Why? Because the rest of the planet, with a few exceptions, fears China. President Trump didn’t. President Biden and his sycophants do.

Meanwhile, the measures taken to quarantine and treat the population of Wuhan were grotesquely inhumane. Apartment buildings were welded shut. Temporary “hospitals” were created that actually served as jails for those believed to be sick with the virus. Locked into these places with no medical treatment and little food, the unfortunates were trapped there until death.

In lying about the danger facing China, the CCP was acting according to its usual script. The CCP’s dominant narrative is that the Party is “great, glorious, and correct.” The presence of the deadly CCP virus in Wuhan, or, in 2003, of the SARS virus, doesn’t fit the script. As with SARS, the first response was denial.

Let us not forget that China also stated it could easily hold the US and the world hostage should it decide to withhold medicines, antibiotics and PPE — should we get out of line, you see.

And this points out why the name “CCP virus” is needed, to distinguish the victims from the victimizer. The people of Wuhan and of China are the victims of the CCP’s arrogance and incompetence, expressed in this viral pandemic.

The name CCP virus also sounds a warning: Those nations and individuals close to the CCP are the ones suffering the worst effects from this virus, as is seen in the raging infections in the CCP’s close ally Iran and in Italy, the only G-7 nation to sign onto the Belt and Road Initiative. Taiwan and Hong Kong, which have rejected the CCP—Taiwan in a recent landslide national election and Hong Kong in months of massive demonstrations—have had relatively few infections.

Finally, the CCP virus reminds the people of the world that the source of the virus is itself evil. This is a communist virus, and with the name CCP virus, The Epoch Times reminds the world of the cure: ending the CCP.

And because Leftists and Americans have such short memories, yes, we have historically named viruses and diseases after people and places.

Here are 17 other diseases named after populations or places, by Tristan Justice at The Federalist on 3-13-20

  • West Nile Virus

Named after the West Nile District of Uganda discovered in 1937.

  • Guinea Worm

Named by European explorers for the Guinea coast of West Africa in the 1600s.

  • Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

Named after the mountain range spreading across western North America first recognized first in 1896 in Idaho.

  • Lyme Disease

Named after a large outbreak of the disease occurred in Lyme and Old Lyme, Connecticut in the 1970s.

  • Ross River Fever

Named after a mosquito found to cause the disease in the Ross River of Queensland, Australia by the 1960s. The first major outbreak occurred in 1928.

  • Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever

Named after its 1940s discovery in Omsk, Russia.

  • Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever

Named in 1976 for the Ebola River in Zaire located in central Africa.

  • Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)

Also known as “camel flu,” MERS was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and all cases are linked to those who traveled to the Middle Eastern peninsula.

  • Valley Fever

Valley Fever earned its nickname from a 1930s outbreak San Joaquin Valley of California, though its first case came from Argentina.

  • Marburg Virus Disease

Named after Marburg, Germany in 1967.

  • Norovirus

Named after Norwalk, Ohio after an outbreak in 1968.

  • Zika Fever

First discovered in 1947 and named after the Zika Forest in Uganda.

  • Japanese Encephalitis

Named after its first case in Japan in 1871.

  • German Measles 

Named after the German doctors who first described it in the 18th century. The disease is also sometimes referred to as “Rubella.”

  • Spanish Flu

While the true origins of the Spanish Flu remain unknown, the disease earned its name after Spain began to report deaths from the flu in its newspapers.

  • Lassa Fever

Named after the being found in Lassa, Nigeria in 1969.

  • Legionnaire’s Disease

Named in 1976 following an outbreak of people contracting the lung infection after attending an American Legion convention in Philadelphia.

Just as we can’t have Gina Carano, Dr Seuss, Pepe Le Pew, Speedy Gonzalez and Spider Monkeys, we can’t have diseases named after their points of origin.

Kalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom locked the state down with glee though he dined at The French Laundry in Napa, one of the most expensive restaurants in the state, racking up a $12,000 liquor bill — but did receive one rebuke in February.

US SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST NEWSOM ON INDOOR CHURCH SERVICES IN CALIFORNIA COVID-19 CASE

by Dale Kasler, 2-5-21

In a ruling that could hamper California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s efforts to enforce COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, the U.S. Supreme Court has knocked down the state’s prohibition on indoor church services.

Late Friday, the court ruled 6-3 in favor of South Bay United Pentecostal Church, near San Diego, which has been fighting in court for months for the right to hold indoor services. The court’s majority said Newsom’s order violated the Constitution’s protection of the free exercise of religion.

Under California’s tiered protocols, indoor church services are prohibited in regions of the state in the purple tier, where the coronavirus is designated as “widespread.”

Then a little vaccine pushback began.

Nearly Half of Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Deputies and Staff Decline Vaccine: Report

by Ian Cull, 2-5-21

As Santa Clara County works to boost its COVID-19 vaccinations by expanding sites to get a shot, information released during a Public Safety meeting this week shows that of the sheriff’s deputies and staff, 48% declined the vaccine when asked. 

“Mind-boggling number,” said Supervisor Susan Ellenberg, who was shocked because it includes a large chunk of deputies working in the jail system. 

“I am a little bit speechless,” she said. “We can’t significantly reduce or eliminate outbreaks in the jail if every day we have people coming into the jail who haven’t been vaccinated.” 

Axios examined the costs of lockdowns on schools.

The high cost of missed school

by Erica Pandrey, 2-7-21

The pandemic’s disruption of in-person school is causing headaches for students, parents and teachers. But it’ll also trigger long-term economic consequences to the tune of trillions of dollars.

The big picture: The U.S. economy could take a $14 trillion to $28 trillion blow in the long run due to coronavirus-induced learning loss, according to economists’ projections. And the longer the pandemic keeps kids out of classrooms, the higher that number will climb.

  • “Nobody’s paying attention to this absolutely stunningly large economic cost that just keeps piling up,” says Eric Hanushek, a Stanford economist and one of the architects of an OECD analysis of the economic impact of COVID-19 learning loss.

On average, American students from kindergarten to fifth grade have missed out on 20% of the reading and 33% of the math skills they would have learned in normal times, according to a McKinsey report that analyzed diagnostic test scores across the country.

  • And the learning loss isn’t equal, says Jimmy Sarakatsannis, one of the authors of McKinsey’s report. When looking just at students of color, those numbers go up to 23% and 41% for reading and math, respectively.

  • That’s because students of color are more likely to be in resource-strapped school districts with poor remote learning infrastructure. They’re also far more likely to lack steady access to devices or the internet.

The number of high school dropouts is also projected to spike as a result of the pandemic, he notes.

Plus the mental, physical and sociological affects on children.

So where did this virus come from — in terms of motivation or need? From what is called “gain of function” research.

US officials revisit rules for disclosing risky disease experiments

by Nidhi Subbaraman

An expert panel is considering how much to reveal about a largely secret review process of ‘gain-of-function’ research.

US disease researchers are pushing the government to be more transparent about federally funded research that involves making pathogens more deadly or more transmissible.

Several disease researchers who attended a recent meeting to discuss transparency around such studies say the US government should offer a public explanation when it approves such ‘gain-of-function’ experiments, disclose who made the decision to fund them and make a broad public announcement when a study begins. Others argued that greater transparency could make it harder to approve necessary research.

“Gain Of Function” virology research needs to be made ILLEGAL. GOF is “federally funded research that involves making pathogens more deadly or more transmissible.” It should be ILLEGAL WORLDWIDE. Unless we’re just really enjoying Wuhan-19.

Speaking of great laboratories, lets examine a not-so-great lab.

Asleep At Lab: Whistleblower Allegations From Inside CA’s Billion-Dollar COVID Lab

by Julie Watts, 2-8-21

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Lab techs sleeping while processing COVID samples for testing. COVID test swabs found in the restrooms. These are just two of the concerning allegations from whistleblowers about what’s happening inside the state’s new billion-dollar COVID testing lab.

CBS13 uncovered thousands of inconclusive test results coming out of the state’s new lab late last year, now whistleblowers want the public to know what’s really going on inside.

I’m sure you heard and read about this. No? I wonder why not?

CBS13 has interviewed more than half a dozen whistleblowers and obtained dozens of internal records and quality control reports.

The documents detail problems ranging from contamination causing inconclusive results to swapped samples and inaccurate results sent to patients.

Records indicate that employees handling patient specimens had not been signed off for competency on crucial skills. Documented competency is required under federal law.

We saw this in January.

CDC Expands Negative COVID-19 Test Requirement to All Air Passengers Entering the United States

From CDC Newroom, 1-12-21

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expanding the requirement for a negative COVID-19 test to all air passengers entering the United States.  Testing before and after travel is a critical layer to slow the introduction and spread of COVID-19. This strategy is consistent with the current phase of the pandemic and more efficiently protects the health of Americans.

Variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus continue to emerge in countries around the world, and there is evidence of increased transmissibility of some of these variants.  With the US already in surge status, the testing requirement for air passengers will help slow the spread of the virus as we work to vaccinate the American public.

This of course doesn’t count when you walk illegally into the nation however.

If you have the temerity to insist on your kids going back to school, you could perhaps use this article and its studies as evidence of “the science.” It won’t be considered, though.

Three studies highlight low COVID risk of in-person school

by Mary von Buesekom, CIDRAP News

A trio of new studies demonstrate low risk of COVID-19 infection and spread in schools, including limited in-school COVID-19 transmission in North Carolina, few cases of the coronavirus-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in Swedish schools, and minimal spread of the virus from primary school students in Norway.

Click here for the studies.

Consideration is now being given to requiring tests prior to board national air flights.

US considers Covid-19 testing requirement for domestic air travel

by Marnie Hunter, 2-9-21

The Biden administration is considering a rule that would require negative Covid-19 test results for domestic air travel”, according to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Buttigieg mentioned the possible testing requirement for air travelers within the United States.

“There’s an active conversation with the CDC right now,” Buttigieg told Axios. “What I can tell you is, it’s going to be guided by data, by science, by medicine, and by the input of the people who are actually going to have to carry this out.”

It was no shock that this came from the WHO, the World Health Organization, owned and operated as a subsidiary of the China Communist Corporation, managed by Dr Tedros, nothing more than a bought-and-paid-for Chinese puppet.

Covid: WHO says ‘extremely unlikely’ virus leaked from lab in China

BBC, 2-9-21

Peter Ben Embarek, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) mission, said it was “extremely unlikely” that the virus spread from a lab leak in the city of Wuhan.

He said more work was needed to identify the source of the virus.

The investigation could now focus on South East Asia, one expert said.

The WHO team are currently at the end of their investigation mission.

Wuhan, in China’s central Hubei province, is the first place in the world that the virus was detected in 2019. Since then, more than 106 million cases and 2.3 million deaths have been reported worldwide.

Dr Embarek told a press conference the investigation had uncovered new information but had not dramatically changed the picture of the outbreak.

Experts believe the virus is likely to have originated in animals before spreading to humans, but they are not sure how.

Which is really odd, you see, when former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently said that US intelligence indicated that, yes, Wuhan-19 did indeed come from a lab in Wuhan.

Then the New York Post broke the news about Governor Andrew Cuomo and his now-outed coverup.

Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa admits they hid nursing home data so feds wouldn’t find out

by Bernadette Hogan, Carl Campanile and Bruce Golding, 2-11-21

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them “we froze” out of fear that the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned.

The stunning admission of a coverup was made by secretary to the governor Melissa DeRosa during a video conference call with state Democratic leaders in which she said the Cuomo administration had rebuffed a legislative request for the tally in August because “right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting.

“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,” DeRosa said. “He starts going after [New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”

In addition to attacking Cuomo’s fellow Democratic governors, DeRosa said, Trump “directs the Department of Justice to do an investigation into us.”

“And basically, we froze,” she told the lawmakers on the call.

Usually, the coverup is worse than the scandal. In this case, we’re talking about 15,000 deaths in the state of New York due to Governor Cuomo’s order to send hot Wuhan-19 patients into nursing homes and mental care facilities.

“Because then we were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation.”

DeRosa added: “That played a very large role into this.”

And what we suspected all along was confirmed. Cuomo lied all along. That’s called “consciousness of guilt” and, in my mind, lends credence to a criminal prosecution for murder. You can’t tell me a good attorney couldn’t prove, with this fact pattern and others, that there was no malice aforethought.

You have to understand, Governor Cuomo had NOTHING to do with FIFTEEN THOUSAND DEATHS in NY nursing facilities. Just because he sent the order, doubled down on the order, covered it up, took money from nursing companies, cooked the numbers and books — well, that really means nothing.

The AP published this also on February 11th.

AP: Over 9,000 virus patients sent into NY nursing homes

by Bernard Condon and Jennifer Pelz, 2-11-21

More than 9,000 recovering coronavirus patients in New York state were released from hospitals into nursing homes early in the pandemic under a controversial directive that was scrapped amid criticism it accelerated outbreaks, according to new records obtained by The Associated Press.

The new number of 9,056 recovering patients sent to hundreds of nursing homes is more than 40% higher than what the state health department previously released. And it raises new questions as to whether a March 25 directive from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration helped spread sickness and death among residents, a charge the state disputes.

“The lack of transparency and the meting out of bits of important data has undermined our ability to both recognize the scope and severity of what’s going on” and address it, said Richard Mollot, the executive director of the Long Term Care Community Coalition, a residents advocacy group.

The new figures come as the Cuomo administration has been forced in recent weeks to acknowledge it has been underreporting the overall number of COVID-19 deaths among long-term care residents. It is now nearly 15,000 up from the 8,500 previously disclosed.

The Cuomo administration’s March 25 directive barred nursing homes from refusing people just because they had COVID-19. It was intended to free up space in hospitals swamped in the early days of the pandemic. It came under criticism from advocates for nursing home residents and their relatives, who said it had the potential to spread the virus in a state that at the time already had the nation’s highest nursing home death toll.

Dr Stella Immanuel stepped back into the light, as well she should have.

Because they were wrong, and she was correct.

Oh, wait. The CDC sending another mixed message.

As the year advanced, more focus was placed on the various vaccines. The Pentagon became concerned.

One-Third of Troops Turning Down CCP Virus Vaccine: Pentagon

by Jack Phillips, 2-17-21

About one-third of U.S. military troops have turned down the vaccine for the CCP virus, or the novel coronavirus, said the Pentagon on Wednesday.

Maj. Gen. Jeff Taliaferro, a top official in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the military has a two-thirds acceptance rate for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine.

“Our initial look—and this is of course very early data—is acceptance rates are somewhere in the two-thirds territory,” Taliaferro said in a hearing. “And of course, it varies by different groups.”

Notice that no real reason is given, according to the Pentagon.

A spokesman for the agency, John Kirby told Politico and other news outlets on Wednesday that the DOD doesn’t have a system in place to track vaccinations among troops. He dispelled the idea that the Pentagon is withholding information from news outlets and the public.

“Nobody is hiding data,” Kirby said. “We don’t have a system in place across the services to specifically track data with respect to those individuals who for whatever reason are declining.”

But the truly important paragraph is right here.

Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for the CCP virus are under emergency-use authorization by the FDA. It means the agency has not fully cleared their usage.

Hold that thought. The confusion isn’t over yet.

Third shot may be needed to combat new coronavirus variants, Bill Gates says

by Caitlin Yilek, 2-17-21

A third dose of coronavirus vaccine may be needed to prevent serious cases of new variants of the disease, Bill Gates said Tuesday. The billionaire philanthropist’s comments come amid to the growing concern that current vaccines are less effective against the South African and Brazilian variants.

“The discussion now is do we just need to get a super high coverage of the current vaccine, or do we need a third dose that’s just the same, or do we need a modified vaccine?” Gates told “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell.

“All five of the companies that have U.S. vaccines are looking at making that modification and adding that in so that people who’ve already had two shots might need to get a third shot,” he said. “I think it’s reasonably likely that we will have a tuned vaccine just to make absolutely sure that as these variants hit the U.S. that they’re not escaping from vaccine protection.” 

So just how complicated is this going to get? And how tolerant is the American public going to be?

And more vaccine stories began trickling in.

Spain: Second Pfizer Shots Halted After 46 Nursing Home Residents Die After The First Shot

HAF, 2-18-21

LOS BARRIOS, SPAIN — The Nuestra Señora del Rosario (Our Lady of the Rosary) nursing home is reeling due to mass deaths after mRNA inoculations.

All residents and workers at the facility received the first dose of Pfizer mRNA in early January, according to Spain mainstream media outlet ABC de Sevilla.

The Andalusian Health Service reported that at least 46 residents have died since January. For perspective, Our Lady has a maximum capacity of 145 residents.

The Junta de Andalucía (regional government) intervened in early February to curtail the death count. But people continued dying. Spain’s Ministry of Health is now in charge of mitigation.

The Ministry said in a statement:

“In view of the imminent risk to public health, and in particular for the [residents] and workers of this center, as the current protocol for disinfection and isolation of positive cases cannot be guaranteed.”

The situation remains dire, as at least 28 residents and 12 staff members were COVID-19 positive last week. Health officials halted all further mRNA shots as a result.

Ever the eternal pessimist, Dr Fauci weighs in.

Fauci: Americans may be wearing masks into 2022

by Nextstar Media, 2-21-21

The nation’s leading infectious disease expert said Sunday that it’s “possible” Americans will need to continue wearing masks into 2022 to protect against COVID-19.

Asked by CNN’s Dana Bash whether Americans will need to continue masking into next year, Dr. Anthony Fauci responded: “I think it’s possible that that’s the case.”

Fauci went on to predict when the U.S. will see a degree of “normality.”

“I think we’ll have a significant degree of normality…as we get into the fall and winter by the end of the year,” he said.

Mixed messages. Every month. Every week. But here is something that isn’t mixed — and is highly important, as it makes the difference between a Fear Porn subject and an informed individual.

Federal law prohibits employers and others from requiring vaccination with a Covid-19 vaccine distributed under an EUA

by Aaron Siri, 2-23-21

Ever since the Food and Drug Administration granted emergency use authorization for two new vaccines, employers, schools, and other organizations are grappling with whether to require Covid-19 vaccination.

While organizations are certainly free to encourage their employees, students, and other members to be vaccinated, federal law provides that, at least until the vaccine is licensed, individuals must have the option to accept or decline to be vaccinated.

Knowing what an organization can or cannot do with respect to Covid-19 vaccines can help them keep their employees, students, and members safe and also save the them from costly and time-consuming litigation.

Remember this. Mark this down.

Even though the FDA granted emergency use authorizations for the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines in December 2020, the clinical trials the FDA will rely upon to ultimately decide whether to license these vaccines are still underway and are designed to last for approximately twoyears to collect adequate data to establish if these vaccines are safe and effective enough for the FDA to license.

The abbreviated timelines for the emergency use applications and authorizations means there is much the FDAdoesnotknow about these products even as it authorizes them for emergency use, including their effectiveness against asymptomatic infection, death, and transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease.

Given the uncertainty about the two vaccines, their EUAs are explicit that each is “an investigational vaccine not licensed for any indication” and require that all “promotional material relating to the Covid-19 Vaccine clearly and conspicuously … state that this product has not been approved or licensed by the FDA, but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA” (emphasis added).

EUAs are clear: getting these vaccines is voluntary.

The same section of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that authorizes the FDA to grant emergency use authorization also requires the secretary of Health and Human Services to “ensure that individuals to whom the product is administered are informed … of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product.”

Likewise, the FDA’s guidance on emergency use authorization of medical products requires the FDA to “ensure that recipients are informed to the extent practicable given the applicable circumstances … That they have the option to accept or refuse the EUA product …”

It’s an EUA — Emergency Use Authorization.

When the FDA grants emergency use authorization for a vaccine, many questions about the product cannot be answered. Given the open questions, when Congress granted the authority to issue EUAs, it chose to require that every individual should be allowed to decide for himself or herself whether or not to receive an EUA product. The FDA and CDC apparently consider this fundamental requirement of choice important enough that even during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic they reinforced that policy decision when issuing their guidance related to the Covid-19 vaccines.

That means: know the law. And know your rights.

This means that an organization will likely be at odds with federal law if it requires its employees, students or other members to get a Covid-19 vaccine that is being distributed under emergency use authorization.

The American Media Maggots won’t admit it, and never will, but Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had the right idea all along: protect the elderly, quarantine people with the greatest potential for exposure, and let everyone else be adults. Imagine that. And his infection rates, with one of the highest percentile of elderly in the nation, are less than that of New York and many other states.

The nutcases also emerged as well.

School Board Member Compares Reopening Schools Before Teachers Are Vaccinated To ‘Slavery’ And ‘White Supremacist Ideology’

by Marlo Safi, 2-24-21

A board member of a San Diego public school district claimed that reopening schools for in-person instruction was “white supremacist ideology” and told fellow board members to check their privilege when they discussed potential reopening dates.

According to radio 600 KOGO News Radio, Chardá Bell-Fontenot, the Vice President of La Mesa-Spring Valley Schools, told board members that “forcing” teachers to return to classrooms when they don’t want to was “slavery” after another board member said that the district’s plans shouldn’t solely revolve around vaccination.

What is it about teachers and Wuhan-19 that brings out the racists?

Then we have Dr Michael Yeadon, former CSO at Pfizer, who weighs in.

Meanwhile, as teachers scream about not having safety in schools and refusing to return to the classroom, we have this Leftist scrote.

Berkeley teachers’ union president caught dropping off kid at in-person private school despite fighting against reopening schools

by Chris Enloe, 3-1-21

Matt Meyer is the president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, the union that represents public educators in the notoriously liberal city, and has staunchly fought against reopening schools until all teachers have received the coronavirus vaccine.

But that has not stopped Meyer from taking his own daughter to a private school operating in person.

“Do what I say, I’m better than you, smarter than you, I’m in charge, I have power — the power to tell you what to do — and my words never apply to myself.”

So while you’re locked up, your friends are locked up, your kids are locked up — Leftists and illegals are free to do what they wish.

108 illegal immigrants in Texas who tested positive for COVID reportedly released

by Mark Moore, 3-3-21

​More than 100 illegal immigrants who tested positive for the coronavirus — after their arrival in Texas ​​since late January — have been released by the Border Patrol into the Lone Star State ​and are free to travel to other parts of the US, according to reports.

Felipe Romero, a spokesman for the border city of Brownsville, told Fox News that they are telling the migrants who tested positive to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to quarantine and maintain social distance, but that Brownsville doesn’t have the authority to stop them from traveling to the rest of the country.

He said the 108 positives account for 6.3 percent of the total migrants who received rapid tests at the city’s main bus terminal, a program that began on Jan. 25.

This is the part where I say “But wait; there’s more.” Thousands more. Perhaps tens of thousands more.

What about tuberculosis? What about measles? Chicken pox? Hepatitus? Who needs enemies when one has Joe Biden?

More about Governor Cuomo.

Top Cuomo aides said to have altered report on nursing home deaths totals

CBS, 3-5-21

Top aides to Gov. Andrew Cuomo altered a state Health Department report to obscure the true number of people killed by COVID-19 in the state’s nursing homes, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times reported late Thursday.

The aides, including the secretary to the governor, Melissa DeRosa, pushed state health officials to edit the July report so only residents who died inside long-term care facilities, and not those who became ill there and later died at a hospital, were counted, the newspapers reported, citing documents and people with knowledge of the administration’s internal discussions.

The report was designed and released to rebut criticism of Cuomo over a March 25 directive that barred nursing homes from rejecting recovering coronavirus patients being discharged from hospitals. Some nursing homes complained at the time that the policy could help spread the virus. The report concluded the policy played no role in spreading infection.

And remember that WHO report? Did it pass your “smell test”? It didn’t mine.

WHO halts interim report on coronavirus origins amid growing pushback

by Caitlin McFall, 3-4-21

The WHO investigation was first questioned over a finding that escape by the virus from a lab was ‘extremely unlikely’

An interim report by the World Health Organization (WHO) summarizing the investigation into the origin of the coronavirus outbreak in China has been dropped, reported the Wall Street Journal Thursday.

Fox News could not immediately reach the WHO, but top scientists on the investigative team said the public’s demand for answers was too great to be supported in an interim report.

“By definition, a summary report does not have all the details,” Peter Ben Embarek told the New York-based publication. “So since there [is] so much interest in this report, a summary only would not satisfy the curiosity of the readers.”

I speak Leftist, so I’ll translate. “We got caught fellating China, people actually saw what we did there, so maybe it’s time to rethink this conclusion.”

Here is Alexandria City Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Gregory Hutchings telling you the CDC says he can’t put children back in classrooms. Do you believe him?

I repeat, for those of you who just tuned in, that it’s okay for truckers, firefighters, clerks, Uber drivers, grocers, law enforcement, fast food employees, janitorial staff, servers, cooks, mechanics, delivery drivers, electricians, plumbers, contractors, barbers, utility workers, to go to work. Just not teachers.

And if you still have confidence in government.

Thousands at Oakland Coliseum received wrong vaccine dosage, medical staff say

Thousands of people who visited the mass vaccination site at the Oakland Coliseum received the wrong vaccine dosages this week, raising questions about the effectiveness of the medication, according to two medical workers who contacted KTVU.

People who received too little of the Pfizer doses received their vaccines on Monday before 2 p.m. But at that point, the issue was identified and was stopped by that evening, according to the EMTs, who asked to remain anonymous in order to keep their jobs, and which was confirmed by state officials. That is the only day and time period in question.

So listen to Dr Carrie Madej.

This is the science. First, children are not at significant risk of poor outcomes from COVID-19. As of Tuesday, 288 children have died from the disease in the United States, compared with more than 500,000 adults. While the death of any child is devastating, this is similar to the number who dies from influenza each year.

And yet, truly, who knows where we’ll be in a month from now?

Arizona Hospital Worker Says Nearly All of New COVID Cases are Illegal Aliens

Imagine that.

Professor Dolores Cahill also presents information.

So this bombshell dropped, from the Epoch Times.

The Biggest COVID-19 Vaccine Skeptics? Front-Line Health Care Workers

by Lawrence Solomon, 3-11-21

What do front-line health care workers and first responders know about COVID-19 vaccines that politicians and their public health advisers don’t?

According to a January analysis by Gallup, 51 percent of health care workers and first responders polled in December 2020 were unconvinced of the merits of getting vaccinated, even if the vaccine “was free, available, FDA approved and 90% effective.”

Gallup found these results especially concerning since those at highest risk of exposure to COVID-19—the professionals required to meet America’s health, safety, and critical economic needs and whom the National Academies of Engineering, Science and Medicine defines as “Tier 1A workers”—were the likeliest to refuse vaccination (34 percent).

The front-line workers proved to be as defiant as Gallup’s survey of their intentions anticipated. In California, more than half of Tehama County’s hospital workers at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital, an estimated 50 percent of front-line workers in Riverside County, and 20 percent to 40 percent in Los Angeles County refused the vaccine, according to a report in the L.A. Times.

And if you aren’t sufficiently disgusted, there’s this in Kalifornia.

California schools use COVID relief payments for teacher bonuses

by Adam Schrader, Daily Mail, 3-14-21

California schools are using COVID relief payments for teacher bonuses and a union has jokingly requested a trip to Hawaii using the money – even as classrooms are still closed, internal memos have revealed. 

The memos, shared online by the group Reopen California Schools, appear to show that some school districts have been using state and federal COVID relief money on educator bonuses instead of getting kids back into classrooms. 

‘I’ve been inundated with reports of school districts spending state and federal COVID relief money on substantial one-time bonuses to teachers and administrators instead of spending them on getting kids back in classrooms or to curb learning loss,’ the group tweeted.

So have we been lied to all along?

So you want to know what kids really want? They want to go back to school.

And you know what adults need?

To know the difference between an Emergency Use Authorization, and EUA, and a fully licensed vaccine.

Be informed. Be smart.

Coronavirus, January 2021: an update

Posted on by

As we all know, social media and the American Media Maggots, in concert with the Demorats and Leftists, have done their level best to ensure that you, the average American citizen and — most importantly — taxpayer, has been treated like the average mushroom: kept in the dark, fed shit, and expected to produce nevertheless.

Don’t question what we say, don’t believe what you see us do — because we really didn’t do it. Okay, some of us did it, but that really doesn’t make any difference. Like Nancy Pelosi says, she was “set up” by her hairdresser.

Anyone besides me wondering “well, if you were set up by your hairdresser, what other ignorant decisions have you made in your 50,000 years in politics?” Sometimes, you have to actually be smarter than a house plant.

First, let’s sing an homage to Kalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom and other Leftist authoritarians in the age of Wuhan-19.

So let’s review, because so much more information has been revealed, and let’s examine this a bit chronologically, shall we, since my last communique?

How about some great ideas from Leftists and Demorats. Leftists cannot NOT destroy this nation and its economy. Leftist governors LOCKED down the country, now want to ADDITIONALLY TAX the same people they locked down — for complying. Leftists are insane. Let me remind you: Leftists destroy everything they touch.

Economists suggest $10 daily tax for those who work from home

WABC TV, 11-11-20

Should people who work from home face an additional tax?

The idea is not close to becoming reality, but economists from Deutsche Bank made the argument in a report that is causing quite a stir online.

The base argument here is that people who work from home aren’t using gas, buying coffee, doing things to help the economy that those who go into work tend to do.

Deutsche Bank researcher Luke Templeman is suggesting a $10 a day work from home tax in the U.S.

The money would help struggling workers who cannot work remotely.

Templeman and Jim Reid outline their plan in a November report called “What We Must Do to Rebuild,” saying the proposed tax would be for people who want to continue to work from home post-covid.

This is how the Leftist mind, in this case of Germany, functions. And you think you have problems now trying to find accurate information about Wuhan-19 — much less any other topic — just wait until Biden’s butt hits the Oval Office chair.

Biden Transition Official Believes the First Amendment Has a ‘Design Flaw’ — His Remedy Is to Curb Free Speech

by Robert Spencer, 11-14-20

Richard Stengel, according to the New York Post, “is the Biden transition ‘Team Lead’ for the US Agency for Global Media, the U.S. government media empire that includes Voice of America, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.” He is also a menace to our constitutional protections and to free society in general. If he is any indication of what is coming, we’re in for a rough four years, or longer.

Stengel wrote last year in a Washington Post op-ed that the freedom of speech must be restricted, for “all speech is not equal. And where truth cannot drive out lies, we must add new guardrails. I’m all for protecting ‘thought that we hate,’ but not speech that incites hate.”

Who determines that? Leftists, of course.

And our beloved Dr Fauci, King of All He Surveys, said this about Christmas.

Did you listen to his demands? If so, you’re likely a Leftist or a Fear Porn junkie.

Let me state up front: Leftists and Demorats are removing your freedoms, and then selling them occasionally back to you, when it suits their purposes, one molecule at a time, as long as you promise to obey them.

How do you keep an electorate under control? You frighten them beyond their wits. You tell them they’re going to die without a mask or six feet — but your superiors won’t be doing that. You tell them they can’t vote in person. You mushroom them. You keep them in the dark and feed them shit, then expect them to also keep producing taxes.

Because a frightened electorate will believe anything you tell them, and do anything you say, just for a scrap of bread or a sup of water. “Thank you sir, may I have another sir?”

The Wall Street Journal asked:

As Covid-19 Surges, the Big Unknown Is Where People Are Getting Infected

The U.S. and Europe struggle to identify where coronavirus infections are occurring, making it hard to impose targeted restrictions

I can answer that: no one really can say for sure. Statistics prove it isn’t in restaurants and bars, but we’ll get to that.

The other place people get infected? On paper. Through tests with false positives.

But who needs so-called “targeted restrictions”? Just restrict everything, according to Leftists and Demorats. See how much easier that is?

So Kalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom simply ordered a “curfew” on November 16th.

‘Time is of the essence’: 94% of CA population plunges into most restrictive COVID tier

Gov. Gavin Newsom says 41 of 58 counties will be in the purple tier; state weighs possibility of curfew

“California is pulling an emergency brake,” he said in announcing that 41 counties, which comprise over 94% of the state’s population, will be in the purple tier, effective Tuesday. Last week, 13 counties were in the state’s most restrictive tier.

A curfew! That will do it! Why didn’t I see that? Wuhan-19 is nothing if not obedient, if you just teach it how to tell time.

Some of these actions do occasionally have consequences.

Mass exodus from NYC is happening as New York state to lose $1.4 billion in tax revenue: Report

The Blaze, 11-19-20

New York is in real trouble.

Some extremely worrisome data has recently emerged providing a glimpse into the economic downfall of the real estate market in New York during the coronavirus pandemic.

The New York Post published a report detailing how New Yorkers are fleeing NYC in vast numbers. According to data from the United States Postal Service, more than 300,000 NYC residents have moved out of the Big Apple since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Remembering, of course, that people don’t just vote at the ballot box. They vote with their feet as well.

Then there’s the continued lying a fudging numbers by the CDC and other “official” organizations. From GatewayPundit.com:

CDC Lists 26,557 Heart Attacks as COVID Deaths, Lists 7,919 Accidents and Poisonings as COVID Deaths

by Jim Hoft, 11-16-20

According to the CDC there were 26,557 heart attacks listed as Coronavirus deaths.

And there were 7,919 accident and poisoning deaths listed as Coronavirus deaths.

The CDC also revealed in their latest numbers that hospitals have been counting patients who died from serious preexisting conditions as COVID-19 deaths.

One America’s Pearson Sharp has more.

“The CARES Act, passed by Congress in March of 2020, gives hospitals a 20% bonus on their diagnosis-related group, paid for by Medicare. Essentially, that means doctors are being paid to list deaths as Coronavirus without any indication the patient’s death was actually Covid-related.”

PLUS: “The CDC explains the Coronavirus itself is responsible for just 6% of all deaths listed as Coronavirus related. The other 94% of deaths are due to pre-existing co-morbidities including serious illnesses and advanced age.”

JUST. LIKE. THE. YEARLY. FLU. Except that Wuhan-19 is much more easily transmissible.

Again, as I’ve said numerous, numerous times, the difference between “with” and “of.”

Fear Porn, control, power, money. Do you finally see the linkage? But of course the stupidity it doesn’t stop there.

PA gov announces new COVID rules, including wearing a mask in your house

by Frank Miles, 11-17-20

Pennsylvania is planning to take additional steps to address a sharp increase in coronavirus infections and hospitalizations, including requiring masks to be worn indoors with limited exceptions, officials said Tuesday.

In addition, starting Friday, anyone who enters Pennsylvania must be tested at least 72 hours before arrival, and if they can or do not get a test, they must quarantine for 14 days. The order does not apply to people who commute to neighboring states for work or health care, officials said, and will be largely self-enforced.

Pennsylvania already has a statewide mask mandate, limits on indoor and outdoor gatherings and occupancy restrictions at bars and restaurants.

But the new rules go even further. Masks are required outside where it isn’t possible to maintain at least a six-foot distance from others, according to the order, and inside where people from multiple households are gathering, even if they can maintain a social distance. 

There were a few members of law enforcement who decided they prioritized the actual Constitution and Bill of Rights over Leftists issuing orders that bypassed every state legislature.

Butler County Sheriff: ‘I’m not going to be the curfew police’

by Travis Peters, 11-17-20

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced a statewide curfew Tuesday. Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones says he will not enforce it.

He is not the “mask police,” and now Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones says he’s not the “curfew police,” either.

“This curfew is going to do nothing, absolutely nothing,” Jones said.

Let’s remember that back on December 3rd, Kalifornia Governor Newsom put the entire state on a lockdown again. No one did, of course. The freeways were packed. Traffic up to Lake Tahoe was packed.

Newsom imposes new regional COVID-19 restrictions as cases spike

by Nathaniel Weixel, 12-3-20

Californians will face strict limits on in-person gatherings and shopping under new rules announced Thursday by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in an attempt to control the rapid spread of COVID-19 infections.

The rules will temporarily close indoor dining, bars, playgrounds, wineries, live sports with crowds, nail and hair salons and other personal services for a three-week period.

Schools already open will remain open, as will retail stores and malls, with a 20 percent capacity and metering restrictions. Religious institutions would be limited to outdoor services.

And you couldn’t have listened to this Los Angeles restaurant owner without crying, yourself.

Los Angeles County shut down outdoor dining for no reason. Another authoritarian move based on nothing.

Los Angeles Health Officials Unable to Provide Data to Support Outdoor Dining Ban

by Zachary Steiber, 11-25-20

Los Angeles County public health officials on Tuesday said they don’t have data to support a weekslong ban on outdoor dining, triggering pushback from supervisors.

Health officials said they believe outdoor eating at restaurants is a place with a high risk of transmission of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.

Dr. Muntu Davis, the county’s public health officer, told the county Board of Supervisors that the best data officials have is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency in September published a case control probe that found a link between COVID-19 cases and going to locations that offer on-site eating and drinking options.

But that report did not distinguish between outdoor and indoor dining and Davis admitted officials don’t have information about restaurant patrons contracting COVID-19.

“But fuck it, we’ll do it anyway because we have the power and you don’t.” Trust me, if Trump wanted outdoor dining banned, they’d be screaming to keep it open.

There was some common sense. Sheriff Chad Bianco of Riverside County (CA) nailed the hypocrisy of Newsom’s dictatorial edicts which are NOT backed by “the science.” Over 60% of the new cases are from people who STAYED INSIDE under lockdown.

Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes also weighed in.

It’s more of this:

  • Do what we tell you.
  • Shut your business.
  • Lose your business.
  • Or we’ll cite you.
  • Arrest you.
  • Turn off your water.
  • Turn off your electricity.
  • Lose your business license.
  • Lose your job.
  • Lose your house.
  • Lose your apartment.
  • Lose your car.
  • PAY YOUR DAMNED TAXES.

It was never political, of course.

Pelosi fears passing another virus relief bill would give Trump a win, Mnuchin says

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Monday that he worries another coronavirus relief package might not be enacted because Speaker Nancy Pelosi fears it would reflect positively on President Trump.

“I am somewhat concerned that she is afraid that any deal would be good for the president,” he told CNBC.

Then this:

Pelosi on reason for shift to supporting smaller coronavirus relief: ‘New president’

Sam Dorman, 12-4-20

‘Don’t characterize what we did before as a mistake.’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said on Friday that she was willing to move forward with a smaller coronavirus relief package with President-elect Biden headed to the White House and a vaccine on the way.

Pelosi previously encountered criticism for not supporting a moderate Democratic proposal, insisting on a much larger price tag. The current proposal from the Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of 25 Republicans and 25 Democrats working to find bipartisan solutions, is $908 billion, significantly less than the $1.5 trillion proposed before the election. In October, the White House had also proposed a $1.8 trillion package, roughly twice the size of the one Pelosi is now backing.

When asked about her shift on supporting the much smaller package, Pelosi cited “a new president and a vaccine.”

She added that the current proposal “has simplicity, it’s what we had in our bills, it’s for a shorter period of time, but that’s O.K. now because we have a new president.”

Translation: we couldn’t have afforded to give Trump anything remotely resembling a “win.”

Then this from Bernie Sanders:

Bernie Sanders concedes Democrats held up coronavirus relief: ‘That’s right’

by Audrey Conklin, 12-8-20

His remarks seemed to clash with the Democratic narrative

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Monday criticized Democratic leaders for getting behind a smaller $908 billion coronavirus relief package after rejecting a $1.8 trillion proposal from President Trump in October

Then this from the NEJM, the New England Journal of Medicine.

Universal Masking in Hospitals in the Covid-19 Era

  • Michael Klompas, M.D., M.P.H., 
  • Charles A. Morris, M.D., M.P.H., 
  • Julia Sinclair, M.B.A., 
  • Madelyn Pearson, D.N.P., R.N., 
  • and Erica S. Shenoy, M.D., Ph.D.

As the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to explode, hospital systems are scrambling to intensify their measures for protecting patients and health care workers from the virus. An increasing number of frontline providers are wondering whether this effort should include universal use of masks by all health care workers. Universal masking is already standard practice in Hong Kong, Singapore, and other parts of Asia and has recently been adopted by a handful of U.S. hospitals.

We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.

But you were never supposed to hear that or read that. Just putting that article or quoting that article on social media got you deleted or eliminated wholesale.

Of course, irony plays a big part now in our daily lives. Take it away, Mexico:

Mexico: López Obrador says pandemic lockdowns are the tactic of dictators

AP, 12-2-20

Mexicos’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador suggested on Wednesday that politicians who impose lockdowns or curfews to limit Covid-19 are acting like dictators.

The comments came as López Obrador once again fended off questions about why he almost never wears a face mask, saying it was a question of liberty.

The Mexican leader said pandemic measures that limit people’s movements are “fashionable among authorities … who want to show they are heavy-handed, dictatorship.

“A lot of them are letting their authoritarian instincts show,” he said, adding “the fundamental thing is to guarantee liberty.”

And speaking of more Kalifornia Korruption:

Companies part of group founded by CA governor collectively get nearly $3 million in PPP loans, data shows

ABC7, 12-8-20

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — At least eight companies partially owned by Gov. Gavin Newsom collectively received millions of dollars from the Paycheck Protection Program, according to an ABC7 analysis.

While data released by the Small Business Administration earlier this year showed the PlumpJack Group received up to $350,000 worth of PPP loans, newly-released data by the SBA indicated PlumpJack businesses – including wineries, bars, and restaurants – received more than eight times that amount at nearly $3 million altogether.

The average small business loan for California companies retaining 14 employees was roughly $128,000. Yet, the PlumpJack entity Villa Encinal Partners LP – that according to SBA data also retained 14 employees – received more than seven times that amount at $918,720.

ABC7 reached out to Gov. Newsom for further comment on this story and have yet to hear back.

Then on December 9th, Governor Newsom locked down the entire state under his “stay at home” order. Unconstitutional as it was. The freeways were packed. Lots of cars were still traveling to Lake Tahoe on the weekends.

And oddly enough, like magic, the flu just disappeared.

Flu hospitalizations this season too low for CDC to run model on disease burden

by Michael Lee, 12-7-20

Influenza hospitalizations so far this fall have been too low for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to run its model on the burden of the flu season.

“CDC, can’t run their flu model; too few hospitalizations,” columnist Phil Kerpen noted on Twitter while sharing a snapshot of the CDC website.

“The model used to generate influenza in-season preliminary burden estimates uses current season flu hospitalization data,” the CDC website says. “Reported flu hospitalizations are too low at this time to generate an estimate.”

That wouldn’t be because any deaths resulting from the flu somehow got rolled in Wuhan-19 deaths, would it?

In the meantime, people occasionally found their voices. I had been saying, all along, that people should withdraw the consent of the governed.

Anti-mask protesters in Idaho overwhelm cops, force cancellation of public health meeting

by Joseph Wilkinson, 12-9-20

Idaho public health commissioners had to shut down their meeting and scramble home because of coordinated protests across the Boise area.

The commissioners tried to meet Tuesday to address the COVID-19 pandemic, but were met with fierce resistance from anti-mask protesters, the Idaho Statesman reported.

The anti-maskers gathered outside the public health building in downtown Boise and at commissioners’ houses around the city, according to a press release from Boise police.

One person was arrested trespassing at the public health building, according to Boise police. Cops said they’re trying to get arrest warrants for some people who demonstrated outside the officials’ homes.

Please note that if you’re protesting outside the houses of various officials for freedom, you’re subject to arrest. If you’re protesting because you want to rip freedom apart, light fires and loot, then that’s nifty.

Of course, we’re on hyperdrive with a vaccine. Let’s ask Billionaire Bill about its safety.

And first, we all know the Wuhan-19 tests are incredibly accurate, right?

Austrian FPÖ Member of Parliament Michael Schnedlitz administered a COVID-19 PCR test to the beverage Coca Cola in the plenum before his colleagues. The popular drink tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus.

He said he was performing the test live before parliament: “so you can see how worthless and misguided these mass tests are.”

He continued: “The evidence is overwhelming, starting with the absolutely absurd mass tests that are currently being carried out, which are nothing more than a large-scale redistribution of tens of millions of euros in tax money from the population…it can’t go on like this.”

Canadian Pathologist: Coronavirus Is “Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated”

By Ryan Craswell, 11-19-20

A leading Canadian pathologist called COVID-19 a hoax and shamed governments nation-wide for overblown responses.

In a recently released Zoom call with Edmonton City Council, Dr. Roger Hodkinson said the virus is nothing more than “bad flu”. He suggested the hysteria and shutdowns stop immediately while also criticizing the public for blindly donning masks and walking around “like lemmings”.

“This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public,” said Hodkinson in his address. “It’s outrageous.”

“It should be nothing more than a bad flu season,” he continued. “This is not Ebola, it’s not SARS. It’s politics playing medicine, and that’s a very dangerous game.”

Dr. Hodkinson is a graduate of Cambridge University in the UK. He is a medical specialist in pathology, including virology, and served as Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons committee in Ottawa. He previously worked as a Pathologist in the Medical Examiner’s Office in Edmonton and is now the CEO of Western Medical Assessments.

He called on the city officials to open businesses, drop any mask mandates and get back to life as normal.

“There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians,” he said.

“Masks are utterly useless,” Dr. Hodkinson added. “There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signaling.”

The doctor also called social distancing useless. He said the only action needed is for people to rest at home while sick, protect the most vulnerable and give at-risk individuals 3,000-5,000 IU of Vitamin D per day.

Dr. Hodkinson noted that Vitamin D has been “shown to radically reduce the likelihood of infection”.

“You gotta get a grip on this,” he told the council. “The scale of the response you are undertaking with no evidence for it is utterly ridiculous.

Then the actual pushback began.

Minnesota businesses plan defiant mass reopening

ANS, 12-14-20

Employees of closed businesses have “bills to pay, children to feed, presents to gift and they’re going to lose their homes.”

More than 150 businesses plan to reopen this week in defiance of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s coronavirus shutdown.

The businesses have organized as the Reopen Minnesota Coalition. This group has created a Facebook page and GoFundMe to raise awareness and money for business owners who will likely face legal consequences for their actions. Rural businesses involved in the effort plan to open Wednesday, Dec. 16, while metro businesses will open two days later on Friday. Walz’s current shutdown order is set to expire on Friday, but an extension is possible.

And this.

Solvang Openly Defies State COVID-19 Order

by Tyler Hayden, 12-11-20

As Santa Barbara County battles against its third wave of the coronavirus, reporting 643 active cases Friday and 140 total deaths, Solvang is actively flouting Governor Gavin Newsom’s latest stay-at-home order. The order closed all in-person dining, hotels, and wineries and breweries ― the types of businesses the Danish-themed tourist town lives on.

On Monday, the city council voted to defy the state edict, which applies to the entire Southern California region, including Los Angeles. Mayor Ryan Toussaint filed the emergency motion. It was approved unanimously. “As of tonight, they can go about their business,” said Councilmember Daniel Johnson of the restaurants and bars lining downtown’s Copenhagen Drive. 

“People can’t keep getting kicked like this,” said Councilmember Robert Clarke, complaining Solvang and Santa Barbara County shouldn’t be lumped with Los Angeles and its spiking caseload. “Maybe we need to rename all our restaurants French Laundry,” he quipped, alluding to Newsom’s famously hypocritical close-quarters dinner at an upscale Napa restaurant.

And this.

‘Are you gonna pay my rent?’: California restaurant owner explodes at health dept. workers citing him for defying closure order

The Blaze, 12-15-20

‘My calling is to all the other restaurant owners to open your restaurants. If we all open up, they can’t do anything.’

The owner of a restaurant in Ventura, California, exploded in anger at a couple of health department workers who issued him a citation Monday over his refusal to close and thus “breaking” the “law.”

Just who is “essential”? And who owns restaurants?

Northstate lawmakers call for restaurants to be declared essential

by Austin Herbaugh, 12-15-20

REDDING, Calif. — Northstate lawmakers are calling on Governor Gavin Newsom to declare restaurants essential to allow them to stay open during the pandemic.

“Closed restaurants means jobs lost, missed rent, mortgage and car payments and a lot of unemployment checks,” the Dec.11 letter sent to the Governor reads in part.

Several state lawmakers– including Northstate Republican Senators Brian Dahle and Jim Nielsen– are urging Newsom to lift tough restrictions that are devastating many businesses.

“We ask that you immediately reclassify the restaurant industry as critical infrastructure before even more damage is done to our communities,” the letter states before emphasizing the role these businesses play in communities.

The California Restaurant Association reports that 60% of California restaurants are owned by people of color, and 50% of California restaurants are owned or partly-owned by women. in 2019, more than 1.8 million jobs were attributed to the restaurant and food service industry in California. This equates to approximately eleven percent of employment in the state. Closed restaurants means jobs lost, missed rent, mortgage and car payments and a lot of unemployment checks.

Then shhhh, a wee bit of truth slipped out. You weren’t supposed to hear or read this either.

California’s Health Secretary Concedes There Is No Empirical Basis for the State’s Ban on Outdoor Dining

by Jacob Sullum, 12-11-20

The ban is “not a comment on the relative safety of outdoor dining,” Mark Ghaly says, but part of the effort to keep people from leaving home.

This week a Los Angeles County judge ruled that a local ban on outdoor dining at restaurants, ostensibly aimed at reducing transmission of the COVID-19 virus, was “not grounded in science, evidence, or logic.” Around the same time, California Health and Human Services Secretary Mark Ghaly admitted that the same thing is true of a state ban on outdoor dining that currently applies to all of Southern California, including Los Angeles County. Ghaly said that ban, which is one of many restrictions that are triggered when a region’s available ICU capacity drops below 15 percent, is “not a comment on the relative safety of outdoor dining” but is instead aimed at discouraging Californians from leaving home.

“The decision to include, among other sectors, outdoor dining and limiting that, turning to restaurants to deliver and provide takeout options instead, really has to do with the goal of trying to keep people at home,” Ghaly said during a briefing on Tuesday. He noted that “we have worked hard with that industry to create safer ways for outdoor dining to happen.”

The whole deal behind Wuhan-19 is Slim Shady at best. Because then you have this.

Founder of vaccine safety website, ex-pharma insider found dead

by Emily Mangiaracina, 12-15-20

‘If something were to happen to me,’ Brandy Vaughan wrote in late 2019, ‘it’s foul play and you know exactly who and why.’

Brandy Vaughan, a former sales executive for the pharmaceutical company Merck and the founder of learntherisk.org, a website dedicated to educating people on the risks associated with vaccines, was apparently found dead by her nine-year-old son on December 8.

According to Children’s Health Defense, Vaughan is reported to have died of “gallbladder complications,” although the source of the report has not been cited, nor has it shared the specific cause of the complications (such as a gallbladder rupture).

Soon after learning of her death, a friend of Vaughn’s, Erin Elizabeth, shared screenshots of a Facebook post Vaughan had written in December of 2019, in which she assured readers that she was not suicidal and did not take any drugs that would cause her to die suddenly.

In her 2019 Facebook post, Vaughan wrote, “If something were to happen to me, I have arranged for a close group of my friends to start a GoFundMe to hire a team of private investigators to figure out all the details.”

“There have been many on this mission or a similar one that have been killed and it’s time this b——- stopped. The darkness cannot win.”

And, of course, that’s the very last you heard of that.

We know that freedom and security are a scale, and we try our best to balance them. You can have lots of freedom but less security. You can have lots of security but little freedom. When Hollywood weighs in, you know there is a concern.

David Mamet Warns Americans Are Giving Up Their Rights Under Coronavirus Lockdowns: ‘We’ve Forgotten the Constitution’

by David Ng, 12-17-20

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and Oscar-nominated screenwriter David Mamet is warning Americans that they are giving up their Constitutional rights under coronavirus lockdowns, saying that questioning government authorities needs to remain a vital part of the country’s democratic tradition.

In an interview with Breitbart News’ editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily on Sirius XM Patriot 125, David Mamet blasted the shut-down and stay-at-home orders that have once again taken effect in many states, leading to widespread economic devastation.

“It just doesn’t make any sense. It’s the first time in history that an entire economy has been shut down because of an infection,” he said during Wednesday’s broadcast. “And obviously everyone gets to pick his or her own experts and say whom they believe in. But that’s what you’re supposed to do with your health, right? We’re supposed to make our own decisions about our health.”

Oddly enough, David Mamet nailed it. And Dr Anthony Fauci got pissed at our independence.

Fauci blames America’s ‘independent spirit’ for rise in COVID cases

by Art Moore, 12-17-20

America’s “independent spirit” is partly to blame for the fact that the Fauci family won’t be gathering for Christmas, says the White House coronavirus adviser.

He was asked Wednesday in an interview with the Washington Post’s Power Up newsletter whether the rise in cases this fall could be attributed to American individualism or President Trump’s refusals to mandate masks and other mitigation efforts.

The “independent spirit in the United States of people not wanting to comply with public health measures has certainly hurt us a bit,” Fauci said.

Damn you for embracing your stupid Bill of Rights.

Business owners in New York City weren’t happy. But wait; there’s more.

San Francisco put a quarantine into effect. Nothing really happened. They were counting on your obeisance.

San Francisco’s 10-Day Travel Quarantine Order Takes Effect

NBC, 12-17-20

San Francisco on Thursday announced a mandatory 10-day quarantine for anyone coming into the city from outside the Bay Area, and it went into effect Friday.

The travel quarantine order, which started at 12:01 a.m. Friday, remains in effect until at least 12:01 a.m. Jan. 4. It applies to returning residents and those moving to the city who spent any time outside the following nearby counties: San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Sonoma, Napa, Marin and Santa Cruz.

Those who have to quarantine have to stay home and not physically interact with others outside their household. They are not allowed to go to work, school or any other place outside their home. They should have food and other essential items delivered to them.

This, of course, was ridiculous on its face. How do you enforce this? Shut down the Bay Bridge? The Golden Gate Bridge?

Thank goodness some people know how to act during a plandemic.

Then this information dribbled out of the World Health Organization, the WHO, and was promptly tamped down and removed from social media.

WHO Finally Admits COVID19 PCR Test Has A ‘Problem’

by John O’Sullivan, 12-17-20

In a statement released on December 14, 2020 the World Health Organization finally owned up to what 100,000’s of doctors and medical professionals have been saying for months: the PCR test used to diagnose COVID-19 is a hit and miss process with way too many false positives.

This  WHO-admitted “Problem” comes in the wake of international lawsuits exposing the incompetence and malfeasance of public health officials and policymakers for reliance on a diagnostic test not fit for purpose.

This World Health Organization admission is that the crux of the “problem” is a wholly arbitrary cycling process which “means that many cycles were required to detect virus. In some circumstances, the distinction between background noise and actual presence of the target virus is difficult to ascertain.”  [emphasis added]

The UN body is now clearly looking to distance itself from the fatally flawed test as a growing number of lawsuits are processing through the courts exposing the insanity of relying on a test that even the inventor, Professor Kary B. Mullis said was never designed to diagnose diseases. [1]

Again, let me state the obvious. If the DC politicians — on both side of aisle, Demorats and Republicans — truly cared about the effects of the Coronavirus on average American lawful citizens, they would have crafted a clear bill, put nothing else inside, and passed it in the light of day.

But they refused. Both parties. They played politics with your lives, your family, your parents, your grandparents, your job, your business, your mortgage, your bills, your car payments, and brought additional drugs, overdoses, mental conditions, suicides and human torment into the mix.

Demorats didn’t want to give Trump a path towards a second term victory. And YOU were the political ping-pong ball slapped about on the table by both sides. Did you HEAR ANY Republican — at all — even one time — call for a clear bill?

No you didn’t. Instead, they wanted to slip bullshit and politics and billions of dollars we don’t have into a bill that sent more billions of YOUR hard-earned American Taxpayer Dollars overseas.

They clearly displayed, to me, that they have ZERO concern for you. THEY have jobs. THEY haven’t had to sacrifice or lose businesses, homes, marriages, friends and family members to suicide.

REMEMBER THIS.

Later, after this is all over, I’m sure we’ll find some commonalities in dealing with the plandemic. One will be the CRIMINAL FAILURE to prophylatically apply hydroxychloroquine. There will be others. This may be one immediate commonality.

Study finds over 80 percent of COVID-19 patients vitamin D deficient

by Jackie Salo, 10-27-20

More than 80 percent of 200 patients hospitalized in Spain with COVID-19 had low levels of vitamin D, a new study found.

The study, which was published Tuesday in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, found that the majority of patients being treated for COVID-19 at a hospital in the northern city of Santander suffered from a deficiency of vitamin D.

Researchers at the University of Cantabria determined that just 82 percent of the 216 patients had inadequate levels — compared to around 47 percent of people in a control group who didn’t have the virus.

The vitamin, which promotes healthy bones and supports immune system function, is produced by the body naturally when it’s exposed to sunlight, though it can also be obtained from eating foods such as fatty fish, egg yolks, mushrooms and cheese.

Patients with deficiencies of the sunlight vitamin in the study were also more likely to have hypertension and heart disease, as well as experience longer hospital stays.

One thing mentioned during the 1918 flu pandemic — which occurred in the middle of World War I, was that soldiers and victims were placed in outdoors tents and settings. Did this have an affect? Again, time will tell.

Then bit by bit, more information leaked. Things were not always what they seemed. Again, social media didn’t want you to have this information. There was and is, naturally, only one way to think about the plandemic, and that’s to do everything that Dr Anthony Fauci says.

Minnesota lawmakers say coronavirus deaths could be inflated by 40% after reviewing death certificates

by Emma Colton, 12-22-20

Two Minnesota state lawmakers are calling for an audit of death certificates that were attributed to the coronavirus, saying COVID-19 deaths could have been inflated by 40%.

State Rep. Mary Franson and state Sen. Scott Jensen released a video last week revealing that after reviewing thousands of death certificates in the state, 40% did not have COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death.

“I have other examples where COVID isn’t the underlying cause of death, where we have a fall. Another example is we have a freshwater drowning. We have dementia. We have a stroke and multiorgan failure,” Franson said in the video.

She added that in one case, a person who was ejected from a car was “counted as a COVID death” because the virus was in his system.

Shark bite. Covid. You’ve seen the meme.

“For 17 years, the CDC document that guides us as physicians to do death certificates has stood, but this year, we were told, through the Department of Health and the CDC, that the rules were changing if COVID-19 was involved.”

“If it’s COVID-19, we’re told now it doesn’t matter if it was actually the diagnosis that caused death. If someone had it, they died of it,” he said.

Then there was this release from OAN and man, you were NEVER to report this in social media. It would get you instantly excommunicated.

Click here, because I cannot embed the video:  https://www.bitchute.com/video/cvNloum9UHnK/

However, beware. If this is advocated in Australia — then it will be pushed here.

Small business calls for mandatory vaccine laws for employees

12-27-20

Small businesses are calling for a new law to stand down workers without pay if they refuse to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The Pfizer-bioNtech vaccine is set to be rolled out across Australia in March. Business owners fear employees won’t come to work if co-workers have not received the jab. Industrial relations minister Christian Porter says a number of issues are yet to be discussed by the government.

Here’s something else you’re not supposed to know about.

Asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 didn’t occur at all, study of 10 million finds

by Michael Haynes, 12-23-20

Only 300 asymptomatic cases in the study of nearly 10 million were discovered, and none of those tested positive for COVID-19.

A study of almost 10 million people in Wuhan, China, found that asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 did not occur at all, thus undermining the need for lockdowns, which are built on the premise of the virus being unwittingly spread by infectious, asymptomatic people.

Published in November in the scientific journal Nature Communications, the paper was compiled by 19 scientists, mainly from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, but also from scientific institutions across China as well as in the U.K. and Australia. It focused on the residents of Wuhan, ground zero for COVID-19, where 9,899,828 people took part in a screening program between May 14 and June 1, which provided clear results as to the possibility of any asymptomatic transmission of the virus.

Asymptomatic transmission has been the underlying justification of lockdowns enforced all across the world. The most recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) still states that the virus “can be spread by people who do not have symptoms.” In fact, the CDC claimed that asymptomatic people “are estimated to account for more than 50 percent of transmissions.”

Do you see what’s happening here? Do you see what is unfolding before your eyes?

The recent findings should enable society to reopen once more, according to the AIER. Without asymptomatic transmission, “the whole basis for post-curve-flattening lockdowns,” life should resume and “we could take comfort in our normal intuition that healthy people can get out and about with no risk to others.”

The New York Post — shut down because it reported the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop — reports more truth.

How cancel culture keeps COVID-19 lockdown doubters silent

by Karol Markowicz, 12-27-20

Say the wrong thing online, and have your life destroyed. Cancel culture has permeated everything, including debates over how to deal with the pandemic. 

On the left, the conversation is heavily policed, with clear red lines drawn around “unacceptable” opinion. Reopening schools was treated as “irresponsible,” even though the numbers said otherwise. It wasn’t until Oct. 9 when things began to shift. That’s when a piece headlined “Schools Aren’t Super-Spreaders” appeared in The Atlantic. The piece didn’t exactly break new ground. What mattered is that it appeared in a liberal publication. That made it OK to believe and say what even many liberal parents knew but didn’t dare voice. 

Very few on the left have pointed out that, hey, these lockdowns don’t seem to be working at all. The groupthink on the left is fiercely enforced.

Absolutely. Because when the Gateway Pundit wrote this, and I re-Tweeted the article, I was suspended by Twitter and suspended by Fakebook for 30 days.

330,000 Americans Die ‘With’ China Coronavirus – CDC says Number Who Died “From” Coronavirus Is Much Less, Around 6 Percent

by Joe Hoft, 12-27-20

We reported in August that the CDC admits that only 6% of all deaths in the US classified as Coronavirus deaths actually died from the China Coronavirus alone.

Yes, this was from the CDC’s own reporting.  So today it looks like less than 20,000 deaths in the US (330,000 x 6% = 19,800) over the past year have actually been due to the coronavirus only.  The remainder of the deaths reported by the CDC include accidents, overdoses, suicides and those presumed to have had the coronavirus upon their death.

This is the MASSIVE difference between two words: WITH and OF.

Then a win from a New York court.

Federal Court Blocks Governor Cuomo’s Restrictions on Churches

Wiz, 12-28-20

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit blocked New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 restrictions on religious gatherings.

On November 25, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the case, Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo, holding that New York may not enforce 10- or 25-person congregation-size limits on certain Catholic churches and Orthodox synagogues, pending further litigation, because the restrictions likely discriminated against religion in violation of the First Amendment.

The Supreme Court temporarily blocked Cuomo from enforcing the restrictions but sent the case back down to the 2nd Circuit for further review.

Today, the 2nd Circuit held that Cuomo COVID restrictions were unconstitutional.

There were bound to be issues with vaccines. You’re an adult. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.

ER nurse tests positive for COVID-19 eight days after receiving vaccine

by Michael Chen, 12-29-20

Health experts are weighing in after a San Diego-area nurse tested positive for COVID-19 more than a week after receiving the Pfizer vaccine.

In a Facebook message posted on December 18, Matthew W., an ER nurse at two different hospitals, talked about receiving the Pfizer vaccine that day. He told ABC 10News his arm was sore for a day but he suffered no other side effects.

Six days later on Christmas Eve — after working a shift in the COVID-19 unit — Matthew, 45, became sick. He got the chills and later came down with muscle aches and fatigue.

The day after Christmas, he went to a drive-up hospital testing site and tested positive for COVID-19.

Again, agencies and entities are playing fast and loose with the numbers. It’s why I doubt much of what I hear from the American Media Maggots and so-called “health professionals” when they tell me it’s “about the science.”

How can California have 0% ICU capacity and 1,300 available ICU beds?

12-29-20

We’ve been hearing for weeks about the crush of patients crowding intensive care units in hospitals as California copes with the worst phase of the coronavirus pandemic. But when the Golden State’s official calculation for statewide ICU capacity dropped to 0% late last week, it raised a question that anyone with a basic understanding of math would find perplexing:

How could something be at “zero percent” — for example, ICU beds — when some are still available?

Turns out, as with so many metrics tracking the COVID-19 outbreak, the state’s definition of “capacity” is far from simple.

With Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office desperately trying to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed, the state on Dec. 3 linked its latest stay-at-home orders to ICU capacity. It broke California into five regions and announced that new restrictions would be triggered when ICU capacity dropped below 15%.

Adjusted or unadjusted, health experts say ICU capacity is a highly fluid number that also factors in the availability of ICU nurses, necessary equipment, and suitable space — not simply beds. Ultimately, experts say, capacity can be increased some, but gauging capacity is an essential tool to monitor how much we’re straining the system.

Dr. John Swartzberg, professor emeritus of infectious diseases and vaccinology at the University of California-Berkeley, said he understands why the state is adjusting ICU capacity but worries it could cause confusion and distrust.

“They need to explain why they’re thinking that way,” Swartzberg said of the state’s formula.

And then: political fact check. From Newsweek.

Fact Check: Did Democrats Block COVID Relief 40 Times as Republicans Claim?

“Democrats blocked key aid for small businesses and American workers 40+ times,” a graphic shared on social media said. GOP legislators, committees and the GOP shared similar sentiments, as well.

Mostly true.

Technically speaking, Republicans have tried more than 40 times to bring another round of relief to businesses and workers.

And here’s the evil statistic no one on the Left wants you to know.

Overdoses Have Killed More Than Three Times as Many People as COVID-19 in San Francisco

by Mel Baker, 12-17-20

While COVID-19 deaths have the potential for exponential growth due to the nature of a viral pandemic, they are dwarfed by the number of people who have died from drug overdoses in the city this year. 

As of Dec. 16, the San Francisco Department of Public Health reports that 172 people have died from COVID-19. The number of overdose deaths reported through the end of October stood at 570. There were 441 in 2019. 

Dr. Hannah Snyder, an addiction specialist at San Francisco’s general hospital, said the main driver of overdose death is the prevalence of the powerful opioid fentanyl. 

Overdoses. Suicide. Domestic violence. Alcoholism. Follow the science blindly. There are no unforeseen circumstances for doing so.

And even more information you’re not supposed to know. I call it “First Model Year Of A New Car Syndrome.”

“I’m Choosing The Risk Of Getting COVID”: Over Half Of Health Care Workers At California Hospitals Refuse Vaccinations

by Tyler Durden, 1-2-21

California’s health workers are refusing to take the new COVID-19 vaccines – with over half of frontline workers at one hospital unwilling to take it, and between 20% and 50% of workers at other facilities who feel the same, according to the Los Angeles Times.

So many frontline workers in Riverside County have refused the vaccine — an estimated 50% — that hospital and public officials met to strategize how best to distribute the unused doses, Public Health Director Kim Saruwatari said. -LA Times

Plus this.

Alarming number of US health care workers are refusing COVID-19 vaccine

by Kenneth Garger, 1-1-21

US health care workers are first in line to receive the COVID-19 vaccine — but an alarming number across the country are refusing to do so. 

Earlier this week, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine disclosed that about 60 percent of the nursing home workers in his state have so far chosen not to get vaccinated. 

More than half of New York City’s EMS workers have shown skepticism, The Post reported last month.

And now California and Texas are experiencing a high rate of health care worker refusals, according to reports.

An estimated 50 percent of front-line workers in Riverside County in the Golden State opted against the drug, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing public health officials. 

That is called a clue.

And this is what Leftists have in mind for you if Wuhan-19 gets worse.

New York Democrat’s bill allowing governor to detain individuals dangerous to ‘public health’ sparks backlash

FDA warns Congress about Covid test that may give false results

NBC, 1-6-21

The new warning questions the efficacy of the tests administered by start-up Curative just weeks after becoming readily available in November.

Food and Drug Administration had a message for Congress — the tests available yield an alarmingly high rate of false negatives.

After a monthslong delay on Capitol Hill to implement Covid-19 testing for the members and staff, thousands of those who work in the building have become reliant on the system due to increased holiday travel and exposure.

But the new FDA warning questions the efficacy of tests administered by the start-up Curative just weeks after becoming readily available in November after a slew of positive cases among lawmakers.

Our loving Dr Fauci chimes in once again.

Fauci reinforces WHO’s recognition that vaccine may not prevent contraction, spread of virus

The World Health Organization said last week that there is no evidence that the vaccine prevents people from getting the virus and then passing it on.

With the possibility of coronavirus vaccine mandates for students, airline travelers and others, infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledges that the shots may not prevent the spread of the infection by those vaccinated.

Fauci’s statement in a recent Newsweek interview reinforced statements from the World Health Organization about the uncertainty around whether a vaccine will prevent infection or whether there will still be the possibility that those who receive a shot can still transmit the virus.

Studies suggest that symptoms could be lighter or unnoticeable with the shot, possibly allowing vaccinated individuals to still contract and spread the coronavirus.

“We do not know if the vaccines that prevent clinical disease also prevent infection,” Fauci said. “They very well might, but we have not proven that yet. … That’s the reason I keep saying that even though you get vaccinated, we should not eliminate, at all, public health measures like wearing masks because we don’t know yet what the effect [of the vaccine] is on transmissibility.”

1. Flatten the curve.
2. Don’t wear masks. Wear masks.
3. Just another month.
4. Stay home, don’t go out.
5. A vaccine will solve everything.
6. A vaccine won’t do shit.
7. Maybe 2022. Maybe not.
8. Shut up and do what I say.

Mushroomed. Fed shit. Kept in the dark. Shut up. Don’t listen to this.

Then, magically, mystically, all is well.

  • Cuomo: reopen the economy.
  • Whitmer: reopen the economy.
  • Bowser: reopen the economy.

1. So now that Trump won’t have a second term, it’s magically, politically, okay to open up after 10 months of KILLING businesses.

2. At a time that it’s CLAIMED Wuhan-19 cases are “SKYROCKETING.”

3. Meaning: the point was NEVER “the science,” was it?

While simultaneously, this.

Cuomo still refuses to disclose total number of COVID-19 nursing home deaths: watchdog

by Carl Campanile, 1-13-21

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration is again refusing to release the total number of nursing home residents who’ve died from the coronavirus for at least another two months — until March 22 at the earliest, a watchdog group charged.

The state Health Department is only publicly reporting residents who physically died in nursing homes – but not those who died after being sent to hospitals for medical care.

The state reports more than 8,201 residents died in nursing homes. But unreported nursing home deaths — those who were ill and died in the hospitals — could be in the thousands, said the Empire Center’s Bill Hammond.

“The state is stonewalling — plain and simple,” Hammond said in an interview Wednesday night.

“This would be like the New York City Police Department reporting homicides on weekdays and not weekends.”

I get to say this and write this because, after all, it is my blog and my post and my show — at least for a while until we turn into North Korea.

This was greatly avoidable had people prophylactically applied hydroxychloroquine and other cheap drugs. We will look upon this time in our history and realize, sadly, that we could have saved, literally, hundreds of thousands of Americans by using our heads and common sense.

From a California nurse regarding Covid-19, and what’s really occurring

Posted on by

Note: this was taken from a local social media group involving a nurse from my general area. Those who will take me to task — and they’re going to be Leftists — have done their level best to ensure that information is not disseminated for some time, concentrated primarily this past year (the worst yet) and, oddly enough, when President Trump came to office. That tells me just about all I need to know.

For those who say that I am creating “damage” by disseminating such information, I should point you to the basics of medicine. I first think of the word “practice,” as in “medical practice” or “practicing physicians.”

When one doubts a medical opinion (in direct reference, for the ignorant amongst you, to the word “practice”), doctors, professionals and patients frequently seek a “second opinion.”

That’s because there is no “one way” to handle medicine, just as there is no “one way” to apply science, particularly regarding “global warming” and the almost meaningless phrase now, of “climate change.”

Also, because of my nature, when an individual, group, organization, political party, class or government sets limitations on information and proscribes what can and cannot be said, read, spoken or watched — well, that simply makes me want to double down on my beloved First Amendment.

There are some truths immured in blood and chaos and one of them is this (simply witness 2020): “in an election year, everything is about the election.” Tucker Carlson can give me a quarter for stealing my phrase, which I have used for decades.

Wuhan-19 is no exception.

When people tell you “it’s not about the money,” guess what? It’s about the money. And it’s about power and control. Check your local and state governments for those abuses. Oh. Did I mention power? The power to lock a state down, lie to our faces and tell us it’s raining expertise?

The excerpt for your perusal.

FROM A NURSE’S POINT OF VIEW

I’ve been working as a clinical nurse provider in pediatrics, oncology, long-term care and preventative medicine for 43 years, the past 30 years in El Dorado county and Sacramento. It’s a very tough time working in healthcare this year, but in ways you might not realize.

Doctors and nurses in the four local hospitals I work with are pressured to maintain a pretense that a corona virus named Covid is “virulent.”

We are expected to maintain an attitude of “better safe than sorry” to our patients, as if this is a potentially deadly contagion.

We are expected to pretend we don’t know hospitals (ours included) are “getting paid” ($19K-$39K) for every autopsy that states a patient died “from Covid” – when we know they didn’t die of it.

Media has gotten away with blatant slander, and we are being silenced from responding.

The chaos in ER is increasing with people coming in with random symptoms – in fear that a virus could kill them or be contagious. The reality is that asymptomatic patients (without symptoms of influenza) are sent home with a “Covid packet”, they can test if they want.

Patients with respiratory or cardiac features are held at the ER doctors’ discretion to admit or discharge for testing protocol.

We all know by now that the tests give only a false-positive.

The average DAILY death rate in the US is 8,500 to 9,000.

This year is no different in our hospitals. We are not inundated or needing to make “Covid wards.”

Despite the sensationalized numbers on TV, people are not dying of any influenza.

Though some can die “with” an influenza.

But all patients die from three core causes:

  • Malnutrition/starvation/dehydration,
  • Medical mistakes, and
  • Toxemia.

Healthy people do not get influenza; and unhealthy people do not die from influenza.

There is no difference between SARS caused by corona viruses from SARS caused by any other viruses.

And no one in history has died “from” a Corona virus.

There is a lot of debate about the the IFR of the SARS-CoV-2, but the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine states the rate is 0.5%.

That means 99.5% of SARS-Cov-2 infected people will survive.

It takes 4 to 7 years in a laboratory to create a viable PCR test, one that has been isolated, purified, and passed all 4 of Koch’s Postulates requirements – the 4 steps required to establish that a microorganism is the cause of a disease:

(1) it must be found in all cases of the disease;

(2) it must be isolated from the host and grown in pure culture;

(3) it must reproduce the original disease when introduced into a susceptible host;

(4) it must be found present in the experimental host so infected. Covid has failed all tests because a corona virus is not a contagion – not ever in history, and not in 2020.

The biggest travesty in history is that we are forced to use an invalid test as a diagnostic TOOL to DIAGNOSE Covid as a DISEASE.

The resultant false-positives from the test are being used as the fuel to justify the mindset of fear for creating the social control lockdown restrictions of masks, distancing and solitary confinement.

Unfortunately these measures have contributed to stress related illnesses and are contraindicated in typical medical treatment plans used for the past 700 years.

“Flu Season” is a term coined by the medical practice to describe symptoms of bodily detox during holiday winter months.

There are environmental and behavioral factors that directly impact declining health during these times such as: prolonged indoor habitation, lack of sunshine, lack of exercise, consuming more toxins than usual (alcohol, processed meats, boxed foods, dairy, fast foods, flour, sugar/high fructose etc.) exacerbated by daily use of chemicals in the form of prescription drugs, and radiation.

An overload of toxins contributes to disease susceptibility.

The “cure” is to minimize exposure to toxins, by eating organic food, daily exercise, drinking structured water, adding minerals and practicing herd immunity.

It is safer to get the flu naturally from another human than to inject man-made chemicals which carry a high risk of permanent side effects.

l personally would not get the Covid vaccine, nor recommend it to my patients.

First of all, there is no established credibility:

It takes 10-14 years (in double-blind lab studies) to create a viable vaccine. The Covid vaccine was made in 7 months.

<Secondly, the Covid vaccine contains mRNA and non-human genetic materials — ingredients never injected into humans before due to issues of “permanence.”

There are no studies of the permanent side-effects from combining non-human DNA with pharmaceutical Rx chemicals.

Thirdly, since vaccine manufacturers are “exempt from liability” they have no reason for caution from using the most neurotoxic ingredients on earth.

High risk patients with pre-existing disease, immune compromise, those taking prescribed chemical Rx, the elderly, and those experiencing systemic allergies are cautioned to avoid the Covid vaccine.

I care for medically fragile infants and children as an “independent clinical nurse practitioner.”

I contract with the State DHCS to provide services to those that need IV or ventilation care in their home. I work directly with my patients’ doctors and in their offices and hospitals: Kaiser, Sutter, Children’s and UCDMC. I can tell you that the ICU’s at these facilities are not “filled with Covid deaths” nor are patients “dying of it” in clinics or long-term facilities.

The nursing staff are conflicted. Half are conflicted from knowing that Covid is harmless, and yet we are stuck in some kind of a twilight zone or social experiment. And the other half are very frightened. Everyone is very confused. We are all very stressed. I have never met a nurse that believes Covid caused any of their patients’ deaths but refrain from speaking out due to job security fears.

Under the current censorship rules, our ability to think and speak out independently is under immediate threat. Social control tactics are coming at us from every angle, manipulating every aspect of our individual nursing jobs. The additional Covid requisites and rules, that defy basic science, have caused severe emotional stress.

For example, when flu season ended last summer the news stations suddenly began to sensationalize stories of “a rise in Covid deaths”, when there was no rise in deaths, not any flu admission.

Suddenly we were sucked in to the hysteria, the masking fear increased, families forced to wait outside in their cars. This was coincidentally when the Covid PCR test was first introduced.

It would be foolish and naïve to believe this will end here.

Covid is not the existential threat it’s been made out to be, yet the ‘powers in charge’ want us to believe otherwise. Seeing a fearful public not putting up a fight when their human rights are being stripped away; even gladly relinquishing freedoms all for the guise of “better safe than sorry” against a perceived threat is the epitome of insanity.

We are seeing patients coming in with full blown hysteria asking for the vaccine “as a cure”; when sadly the cure looks much worse than the cause. . .

This is my story – from my experiences in 2020, in my work, my town.

We’re all adults on this bus. With the exception that government is incapable of doing nothing but treating you like a child and a mushroom, all at once.

And if you doubt the monetary aspect involved, I should refer you to this video once more.

What we’ve discovered is that there is, literally, a world of difference between the words “with” and “of.”

“Of” makes money and statistics.

“With” means nothing.

Leftists and authoritarians need you in this mode.

Because the more you panic, the easier you are to control.

Never forget that.

Coronavirus: more Fear Porn half-truths, obfuscations and outright lies

Posted on by

You can see my previous posts about the Coronavirus here and here and here. In their midst, of course, you’ll discover that videos — once present — have since been removed by the American Media Maggots, who refuse to either tell the truth, tell a half truth, or insist that the average citizen has no means whatsoever of discovering the truth.

Occasionally — only very occasionally — are the AMM taken to task. Here is one amusing instance involving George Cos.  .  .sorry, I mean Brian Stelter from CNN.

Not to mention the threats made to President Trump from every level in America and beyond — for daring to tell the truth about the Wuhan-19 and other topics.

The basic truth up front is this: 99.5% of people will not be hospitalized or die from Wuhan-19. And yet we’re bankrupting people, ruining families, killing businesses and geometrically increasing suicides all throughout the United States.

Information is coming to light that lockdowns don’t work — yet a number of Demorat-run states, mayors — and many nations in Europe now — believe in doubling down on the very thing time has proven to be rather a spectacular failure.

More lockdowns and more lockdowns.

Rights repressed. Businesses killed. Families ruined. The health of hundreds of thousands of persons ruined. Lives shattered by ever-increasing suicides.

From the NYPost.com:

It’s now looking like the lockdowns may have been a huge mistake

by Michael Barone, 9-6-20

Were lockdowns a mistake? To that nagging question, the answer increasingly seems to be yes.

Certainly, they were a novelty. As novelist Lionel Shriver writes, “We’ve never before responded to a contagion by closing down whole countries.” As I’ve noted, the 1957-58 Asian flu killed between 70,000 and 116,000 Americans, between 0.04 percent and 0.07 percent of the nation’s population. The 1968-70 Hong Kong flu killed about 100,000, 0.05 percent of the population.

And the sensible adage that you quarantine those affected and shield those at highest risk has fallen by the wayside.

The US coronavirus death toll of 200,000 is 0.065 percent of the current population. It will go higher, but it’s about the same magnitude as those two flus, and it has been less deadly to those under 65 than the flus were. Yet there were no statewide lockdowns; no massive school closings; no closings of office buildings and factories, restaurants and museums. No one considered shutting down Woodstock.

And here is a key:

Plus, we’re much more risk-averse. Children aren’t allowed to walk to school; jungle gyms have vanished from playgrounds; college students are shielded from microaggressions. We have a “safetyism mindset,” as Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff write in “The Coddling of the American Mind,” under which “many aspects of students’ lives needed to be carefully regulated by adults.”

The legitimate fears that hospitals would be overwhelmed apparently explain the (in retrospect, deadly) orders of the governors of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan requiring elderly care facilities to admit COVID-infected patients. And the original purpose to “flatten the curve” segued into “stamp out the virus.”

Governors imposing continued lockdowns claimed to be “following the science.” But only in one dimension: reducing the immediate number of COVID-19 cases.

Here comes the truth no one in government seems to want to admit. The cure is worse than the disease.

The lockdowns also prevented cancer screenings, heart-attack treatment and substance-abuse counseling, the absence of which resulted in a large but hard-to-estimate number of deaths. What Haidt and Lukianoff call “vindictive protectiveness” turned out to be not very protective.

Most every person with whom I’ve corresponded recently on social media knows someone or has had a family member commit suicide in 2020. Wuhan-19 is the primary reason in concert with other aligned issues.

The anti-lockdown blogger (and former New York Times reporter) Alex Berenson makes a powerful case that lockdowns delayed, rather than prevented, infections.

There are old lessons here. Governments can sometimes channel but never entirely control nature. There is no way to entirely eliminate risk. Attempts to reduce one risk may increase others. Amid uncertainty, people make mistakes. Like, maybe, the lockdowns.

Likewise, another doctor provides a warning.

Stanford expert blasts COVID lockdown failures: ‘We quarantined the healthy … exposed the sick’

by Daniel Payne, 9-10-20

Citizens and public authorities fixated on society-wide lockdowns as a key measure to combat COVID-19 have failed to account for the devastating effects those measures can have on society as a whole, a Stanford professor of medicine says. 

Jay Bhattacharya, the director of Stanford’s Program on Medical Outcomes as well as the director of the school’s Center on the Demography and Economics of Health and Aging, said in an interview this week on the John Solomon Reports podcast that he found it “shocking” that, as countless countries earlier this year moved to shut down ahead of COVID-19, so many had forgotten to “think about both the cost and benefits” of such policies.

“Country after country made the same decision with a couple of exceptions,” Bhattacharya said. “And I think that was a major problem.” 

Another article on lockdowns you weren’t told about.

Revolver Exclusive Study: COVID-19 Lockdowns Over 10 Times More Deadly Than Pandemic Itself

Revolver, 8-31-20

A groundbreaking new study commissioned by Revolver News concludes that COVID-19 lockdowns are ten times more deadly than the actual COVID-19 virus in terms of years of life lost by American citizens.

The economic devastation of the lockdowns will last for decades after the virus is brought under control, and it may lead to far worse ripple effects down the road. For the first time in its history, America has experienced what could be almost likened to a sudden stop in an emerging nation — a situation so crippling and perilous that long term financial and social stability have been legitimately threatened.

Because in truth, there’s no real way to completely halt a pandemic. History should have taught us that.

But Leftists, Demorats and the concomitant systemic bed-wetters, the American Media Maggots, all have what I term Historical Alzheimers. They learn nothing from history. That is purposeful.

Because we’ve all seen situations such as this.

Tennessee woman who passed away 6 months ago gets letter saying she is COVID-19 positive

by Jeni Diprizio, 9-3-20

A Shelby County man questions what is going on at the Shelby County Health Department.

His mother died six months ago, but the health department just sent her a letter saying she is COVID-19 positive.

Troy Whittington said he was surprised when he opened the letter this week from the Shelby County Health Department. He knew what was in that letter was false.

“I’m just having a hard time understanding how they can say someone has COVID-19 when they are not even alive,” said Whittington.

Whittington said a letter arrived from the Shelby County Health Department for his mother, Sandra Whittington. The letter says she has been diagnosed as COVID positive and needed to isolate.

That would be difficult, according to her obituary: the 66-year-old died February 16th. That was weeks before the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Shelby County.

“It’s been 6 months, almost 7, since she passed away. There was no testing that was done at that time. On her death certificate it was stated she died, what the cause of death was, and it was not COVID-19. It was COPD,” said Whittington.

The Millington resident said his mom fought a long battle with COPD and was considered in stage 4 when she died in hospice at the home of a friend.

Whittington said when he called the health department, he was told she took a COVID-19 test June 20th, which was clearly impossible. She was cremated.

As we know, much of what the LDAMM insist is correct is based on junk like this, including false tests, false positives, and tests that actually gave Wuhan-19 to people.

CDC’s failed coronavirus tests were tainted with coronavirus, feds confirm

by Beth Mole, 4-20-20

As the new coronavirus took root across America, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent states tainted lab test kits in early February that were themselves seeded with the virus, federal officials have confirmed.

Now, according to investigation results reported by The New York Times, federal officials confirm that sloppy laboratory practices at two of three CDC labs involved in the tests’ creation led to contamination of the tests and their uninterpretable results.

Pediatrician Dr Bob Hamilton said this about Wuhan-19 and children — eliminated on much of social media.

Wuhan-19 also provides a golden opportunity for those Demorats and Leftists who are doing their level best to ensure President Trump is not re-elected because

IN AN ELECTION YEAR, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT THE ELECTION.

Kalifornia Dictato.  .  .I mean, Governor Gavin Newsom has 30 lawsuits pending against him due to his arbitrary, capricious and unconstitutional lockdowns in the state.

Newsom is also choosing business winners and losers in the state — favoring, of course, government.

San Fran keeps private gyms closed, but has reopened city-owned gyms. Furious owners call out city leaders.

by Chris Enloe, 9-6-20

San Francisco gyms have been forced by the liberal city to remain closed for months as part of measures implemented to reduce the spread of coronavirus. But city leaders have applied different rules for fitness facilities used by city employees.

According to KNTV-TV, city-owned indoor gyms have been open for months, all while privately owned indoor gyms have struggled to stay afloat. The result, KNTV reported, is “crushing private gym owners.”

Daniele Rabkin, who owns Crossfit Golden Gate, told KNTV the city’s actions are “shocking” and “infuriating.”

And this from Dr Fauci himself, which flies in the face of the lies promulgated by the Biden campaign and its aligned sycophants.

Dr Ted Noel weighed in on masks. You heard or saw nothing of this.

And I repeat: the study at UCLA and Stanford by researchers found that the Coronavirus is “ten times less fatal than thought, which translates to a healthy 50-to-60 year old dying after a contact is ONE in 19.1 MILLION.

I should remind everyone continuously: Cases mean NOTHING. The MEANINGFUL statistics are hospitalizations and deaths. But we also know, per the CDC itself, only 9,000 deaths were DIRECTLY attributed to Wuhan-19, instead of 180 000 at the time, The difference between dying OF Coronavirus and WITH Coronavirus.

Listen to Dr Mark McDonald explain about that evil — yet cheap and effective — hydroxychloroquine.

In an election year, everything is about the election, which is why the LA County Health Director, Dr Barbara Ferrer, said that schools won’t open until after the election.

In the meantime, though Dr Fauci said it was safe to vote in November, he now tells us that we must “hunker down” until 2021.

US News wrote this on September 14th. Roundly ignored.

U.S. COVID-19 Cases Fall 15% in Past Week, Deaths Down for Four Weeks

by Reuters

THE NUMBER of new cases of the novel coronavirus reported in the United States fell 15% last week from the previous seven days, and deaths fell for a fourth week in a row, according to a Reuters analysis.

The United States reported on average about 35,000 new cases each day in the week ended Sept. 13, marking the eighth straight week of declines from a peak in July of about 70,000 new cases a day. On average, more than 735 people a day died from COVID-19 last week, with fatalities declining in California and Texas and holding steady in Florida.

You can’t relate good news, as it would likely assist President Trump in his re-election.

What we also know in a continuing fashion is that researchers can’t seem to get their stats or tests straight.

Coronavirus testing at Boston lab suspended after nearly 400 false positives

by Minyvonne Burke, 9-9-20

A Boston lab suspended coronavirus testing after an investigation uncovered nearly 400 false positive COVID-19 results.

Orig3n, a biotechnology company which counts dozens of nursing homes as its clients, ceased testing on Aug. 8 at the request of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. The suspension came days after state health officials became aware of an unusually high number of positive coronavirus tests.

An investigation found that there were at least 383 inaccurate positive results from the lab that, upon re-testing, came back as negative.

Then we discovered a story that wasn’t covered by, literally, any news organization other than Fox, revealed on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Dr Li-Meng Yan indicated the Coronavirus was released, on purpose, by China.

Attorney General William Barr weighed in.

AG William Barr: Coronavirus Lockdowns ‘Greatest Intrusion on Civil Liberties’ Since Slavery

by Joel Pollak, 9-17-20

Attorney General William Barr said Wednesday evening “other than slavery, which was a different kind of restraint,” coronavirus lockdowns were the “greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history.”

Barr’s comments came during a Constitution Day celebration at Hillsdale College, commemorating the date in 1789 when the Constitution was signed by the Framers in Philadelphia.

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Barr has expressed alarm at the restrictions imposed by state authorities on First Amendment rights, particularly the freedom of religion.

Barr said:

Australia — the state of Victoria in particular — has some of the most oppressive and restrictive laws in a Western society.

Then we had the CDC giving us false information. Or was it?

CDC Says Aerosol Guidance Was “Posted in Error” to Website

by Ryan Chatelain, 9-21-20

ATLANTA — On Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated their guidelines to say that the coronavirus can be spread through tiny respiratory droplets called aerosols that can linger in the indoor air.

But, according to reports from The Washington Post and CNBC, the CDC now says that it was posted on its website in error.

“A draft version of proposed changes to these recommendations was posted in error to the agency’s official website,” the CDC said, adding that the organization is “currently updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Once this process has been completed, the update language will be posted.”

The short-lived revision made Friday suggested 6 feet might not always be enough distance. 

Hold that thought for a bit. We’ll come back. But first, a word from Joe Biden.

And whereas other states are locking down further or changing goalposts entirely, Florida Governor Ron Desantis says he’s done. Here he is speaking with Dr Jay Bhattacharya:

Billionaire Elon Musk must read statistics, because he said this recently:

Elon Musk says he won’t take coronavirus vaccine, calls Bill Gates a ‘knucklehead’

by Ben Cost, 9-29-20

SpaceX founder Elon Musk stirred the pot yet again after claiming that neither he nor his family would take a COVID-19 vaccine even if it was readily available.

The 49-year-old billionaire dropped the bombshell during a Monday appearance on the New York Times opinion podcast “Sway.”

“I’m not at risk, neither are my kids,” Musk told host Kara Swisher about the rationale behind his decision.

During the bizarre exchange, the Tesla CEO decried the nationwide lockdown as a “no-win situation” that has “diminished my faith in humanity.” Musk previously called widespread quarantines “unethical” and “de facto house arrest,” RT reports.

Instead of the current sweeping measures, the Boring Company boss suggested a more targeted lockdown where “anyone who is at risk” be “quarantined until the storm passes.”

Swisher criticized his suggestion, adding that humans could potentially die in the process.

“Everybody dies,” quipped Musk.

And there we go. Fear Porn has demanded that Americans put their lives on hold and quiver in the fetal position underneath their desks at home. Mattress manufacturers have benefited greatly due to the prodigious amount of bed wetting across the nation.

“Gates said something about me not knowing what I was doing,” Musk told Swisher. “It’s like, ‘Hey, knucklehead, we actually make the vaccine machines for CureVac, that company you’re invested in.’” He was referring to the fact that Tesla manufactures equipment for the German biopharmaceutical firm CureVac.

And here’s something you never heard. Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, left Governor Newsom’s economic task force because he’s going to fire 28,000 Disney employees in Southern Kalifornia. Because they won’t be opening.

Bob Iger Quits Governor Newsom’s Economic Recovery Task Force

According to a Disney spokesperson (via The Sacramento Bee), Disney Executive Chairman Bob Iger has quit California Governor Gavin Newsom’s task force to reopen the economy. According to the report, the spokesperson would not say when or why Iger quit the task force.

Iger originally joined the task force back in April to help advise Newsom and the state of California on how best to reopen the economy after the COVID-19 shutdown. Iger was one of more than 70 business leaders that would provide advice to the Governor.

Since then, Disneyland has announced a reopening date, only to have to cancel their reopening due to a lack of guidance from the state.

Translated: Governor Newsom doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing. And as Iger suspected, on October 7th Governor Gavin Newsom said “theme parks won’t be opening any time soon.”

And now Newsom wants “disease parity.”

Gavin Newsom Moves Goalposts on Reopening AGAIN, Now Adding ‘Equity’ Measures

by Jennifer Van Laar, 10-1-20

On the 197th day of “15 days to slow the spread,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (Democrat, of course) has moved the reopening goalposts yet again. 

Originally counties had to meet metrics aimed at ensuring adequate rates of testing and the availability of hospital/ICU beds/ventilators. (Contact tracing was supposed to be a part of that, but that effort’s been a big fat joke). Once hospitalization rates, ventilator usage, and death rates plummeted over the summer Newsom changed his strategy and enacted by gubernatorial fiat a tiered system that completely ignored those metrics and instead focused on daily new cases and positivity rate.

Now that more counties are set to move out of the most restrictive tier, Newsom’s changed the game again and has added an “equity requirement” counties must also meet before they can move down a tier.

And of course it has to do with race, because what else is there in the life of a Leftist Demorat? Oh, right. Sex.

  • Equity Metric. Ensure that the test positivity rates in its most disadvantaged neighborhoods, as defined as being in the lowest quartile of the Healthy Places Index census tracts, do not significantly lag behind its overall county test positivity rate, as described in detail below.

  • Targeted Investments. Submit a plan that (1) defines its disproportionately impacted populations, (2) specifies the percent of its COVID-19 cases in these populations, and (3) shows that it plans to invest Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Diseases (Strategy 5: Use Laboratory Data to Enhance Investigation, Response, and Prevention) grant funds at least at that percentage to interrupt disease transmission in these populations. The targeted investments can include spending on augmenting testing, disease investigation, contact tracing, isolation/quarantine support, and education and outreach efforts for workers. Effective for the October 13th tier assignment, this plan must be submitted before a county may progress to a less restrictive tier. Due to data limitations in small populations, the equity metric described above cannot be reliably applied to smaller counties, as described below.

I speak Leftist, so I’ll translate: Kalifornia is now applying “critical race theory” to a pandemic.

I would continue to remind everyone of the above, from the CDC. And what’s happening in Europe right now — the alleged “shining example of what to do” according to Leftists.

In early October, President Trump acquired Wuhan-19. The social media fell apart with wishes that President Trump would die. Instead, for a 74-year-old, he recovered rapidly — precisely what Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots didn’t want.

Press conferences at Walter Reed with Dr Conley went something like this.

The press:

• “Is he dead?”
• “Why isn’t he dead?”
• “Can you make him dead?”
• “He’ll die soon, won’t he?”
• “He’s going to come back to the White House and kill people, isn’t he?”
• “Why didn’t you kill him?”

Dr Harvey Risch in Newsweek wrote:

The Key to Defeating COVID-19 Already Exists. We Need to Start Using It

As professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, I have authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently hold senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. I am usually accustomed to advocating for positions within the mainstream of medicine, so have been flummoxed to find that, in the midst of a crisis, I am fighting for a treatment that the data fully support but which, for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of the science, has been pushed to the sidelines. As a result, tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19 are dying unnecessarily. Fortunately, the situation can be reversed easily and quickly.

I am referring, of course, to the medication hydroxychloroquine. When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.

The desperately wicked inexcusable has been revealed. Again.

In an election year, everything is about the election.

Joe Biden and company continue to bleat that President Trump didn’t take the Wuhan-19 seriously. Oh really?

Then there was THIS, in contravention of their “we made a mistake” post on September 21st of 2020:

The revelation was huge. But not a peep. From anyone.

CCP Virus Can Spread Through Airborne Transmission, CDC Says

by Zachary Stieber, 10-5-20

The virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread sometimes through airborne particles in enclosed spaces with inadequate ventilation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in updated guidance on Oct. 5.

The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus causes the disease COVID-19.

Although not as common as transmission through close contact, airborne transmission of the virus can sometimes happen under conditions allowing for small droplets and particles to linger in the air for minutes or even hours, the CDC said in its updated guidance.

“These viruses may be able to infect people who are further than 6 feet away from the person who is infected or after that person has left the space,” the agency said of airborne particles.

Americans have been told for months to social distance—or maintain a distance of six feet—from non-household members to avoid transmitting the virus.

How does this happen? That no one now listens to the CDC? Is it because the information is now too grim to process? Is it unenforceable? Wouldn’t this mean that, essentially, everyone would have to be inside — if we continue on the current path of Lockdown Mania?

Has it thrown the massive camshaft in the gears of government? And why haven’t you heard of this?

Questions, questions, questions.

Gavin Newsom has answers. Put your mask down between every bite as you patronize any open restaurant. Not kidding.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is ridiculed after urging diners to wear their masks in between bites – but also warning them to ‘minimize number of times you take it off’

  • The Democratic governor’s office tweeted on the subject on October 3 

  • Three images showed a diner in a mask at a table before a second picture of the person eating without a mask. In the third image the diner was back in their mask

  • But the post also said: ‘Minimize the number of times you take your mask off’

  • The message sparked ridicule from a number of California residents 

  • ‘This has got to be the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard,’ one said

  •  Another added: ‘It’s confirmed, I live in the dumbest state’

Meanwhile, back in schools, statistics indicate that out of 70,000+ positive reported COVID-19 cases on Universities, there were 3 hospitalizations 0 deaths to date.

And now, on October 12th, the absolutely unthinkable occurred. The WHO, World Health Organization, said lockdowns are damaging.

WHO warns against COVID-19 lockdowns due to economic damage

by Jackie Salo, 10-12-20

The World Health Organization has warned leaders against relying on COVID-19 lockdowns to tackle outbreaks — after previously saying countries should be careful how quickly they reopen.

WHO envoy Dr. David Nabarro said such restrictive measures should only be treated as a last resort, the British magazine the Spectator reported in a video interview.

“We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” Nabarro said.

Did you hear of that? Are the states responding to the new WHO guidelines? Of course they aren’t.. Again PROVING that “in an election year, everything is about the election” AND that Demorats are doing their level best to ruin a President Trump re-election — and if people have to suffer, pay, or die — no problemo.

Europe is getting worse. Weren’t they the shining example of what to do? Now what? Double down on failure? Less than a week ago:

European nations smash Covid-19 records as WHO warns daily deaths could surpass April peak

by Emma Reynolds and Tim Lister, 10-16-20

London (CNN)Concern is mounting in Europe as countries smash records for daily coronavirus cases and the World Health Organization warns that the daily death toll on the continent could reach five times its April peak within months.

Countries that managed to contain infection rates through spring lockdowns and began relaxing measures are watching the virus return with a vengeance, with Germany, France and the Czech Republic all reporting record case numbers in the past two days.

“The fall/winter surge continues to unfold in Europe with exponential increases in daily cases and matching percentage increases in daily deaths,” WHO Europe director Hans Kluge told a news briefing Thursday.

But listen: it’s “cases, cases, cases.”

Europe’s tally of new cases in its five most-affected countries — which together have a similar population to the US — was nearly 42% greater than the increase in the US in the week to October 13.
JHU’s seven-day rolling average of new cases in the US stood at 49,542 on October 13, compared with an average daily rise rise of 70,158 in France, the UK, Russia, Spain and the Netherlands.
The population of the five European countries is 343 million; the US population is 331 million.

Plus this terrible news from Australia:

Lockdown Kills: Four Newborn Babies In Australia Die After Travel Restrictions Prevent Them From Receiving Lifesaving Care

by Amanda Prestigiacomo, 10-21-20

“I shall leave it to you to image the profound effects of these deaths on the parents”

Four newborn babies have died after they were denied lifesaving treatment due to coronavirus-related lockdown travel restrictions implemented by politicians in Australia.

“Four Newborns in Adelaide have died after being denied lifesaving heart surgery because it wasn’t available in Adelaide, and they couldn’t be transferred interstate because of travel restrictions,” reported 9News Australia.

Their deaths have sparked outrage from medical professionals in the area demanding change.

“Medical professionals in South Australia are calling for urgent action this morning following shocking revelations of the deaths of four babies,” said a 9News Australia anchor on-air, Tuesday. “The newborns were denied lifesaving heart surgery because it wasn’t available in Adelaide, and they couldn’t be transferred interstate because of travel restrictions.”

This is madness, people. Killing infants because we allegedly don’t want to kill people?

The lockdown measures in Australia have been particularly severe. For example, The Wall Street Journal noted Sunday that politicians in Victoria, which includes Melbourne, finally said they “would ease some of its harshest restrictions, such as forbidding people from leaving their homes for all but a handful of reasons and keeping offices and retail outlets mostly shut, after daily infections fell to just two from a peak of more than 700.”

The Guardian, on Monday, laid out travel restrictions pertaining to South Australia as follows:

South Australia – People from all states and territories except Victoria can enter South Australia without having to quarantine for 14 days so long as they haven’t been in Victoria in the past fortnight. South Australian residents will not be allowed to return to their state from Victoria unless they are essential travellers. Victorians living within 40kms of the SA border are allowed into the state for essential purposes only. They can not travel more than 40kms into SA and must have had a negative Covid-19 test in the last 7 days and complete a registration form.

According to the report, gatherings in private homes in South Australia are limited to 50 people, “including members of the household, as long the maximum density does not exceed one person per two square meters.”

In New South Wales, the restrictions are even more strict, per The Guardian: “On Sunday 19 July, the government issued advice asking people not to host, or go to, a gathering of more than 10 people at home. But the law in NSW currently allows 20 people from different households to visit. There is no limit to the number of guests you can have over per day, as long as there are no more than 20 at a time and guests can stay overnight. If there are more than 20 visitors at a home, every person can be held individually responsible for a breach of the public health order.”

What was said? You can’t stop a pandemic? And yet it’s Trump’s fault in the US when every other country is in WORSE shape than we are?

Plus: these are primarily nations having the strictest lockdown conditions from the start.

But is Kalifornia lifting restrictions? No, why should it?

Gov. Newsom Limits Gatherings to Three Families, Two Hours Or Less, No Singing

by Katy Grimes, 10-13-20

Gov. Gavin Newsom and his California Department of Public Health issued another “new” set of  social distancing guidelines prohibiting gatherings that include more than three households at any time.

The Oct. 9 document, “Mandatory Requirements for All Gatherings,” explains that all private gatherings must limit the number of attendees and are required to be held outside.

“Gatherings are defined as social situations that bring together people from different households at the same time in a single space or place.  When people from different households mix, this increases the risk of transmission of COVID-19.”

  • Gatherings should be two hours or less.  The longer the duration, the risk of transmission increases.

Rules for Singing, Chanting, and Shouting at Outdoor Gatherings 

  • Singing, chanting, shouting, and physical exertion significantly increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission because these activities increase the release of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols into the air. Because of this, singing, chanting, and shouting are strongly discouraged, but if they occur, the following rules and recommendations apply:

    • All people who are singing or chanting should wear a face covering at all times while singing or chanting, including anyone who is leading a song or chant. Because these activities pose a very high risk of COVID-19 transmission, face coverings are essential to reduce the spread of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols;
    • People who are singing, shouting, chanting, or exercising are strongly encouraged to maintain physical distancing beyond 6 feet to further reduce risk.
    • People who are singing or chanting are strongly encouraged to do so quietly (at or below the volume of a normal speaking voice).

  • Instrumental music is allowed as long as the musicians maintain at least 6-foot physical distancing. Musicians must be from one of the three households.  Playing of wind instruments (any instrument played by the mouth, such as a trumpet or clarinet) is strongly discouraged.

CDC Study Finds Overwhelming Majority Of People Getting Coronavirus Wore Masks

by Jordan Davidson, 10-12-20

A Centers for Disease Control report released in September shows that masks and face coverings are not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19, even for those people who consistently wear them.

A study conducted in the United States in July found that when they compared 154 “case-patients,” who tested positive for COVID-19, to a control group of 160 participants from health care facilities who were symptomatic but tested negative, over 70 percent of the case-patients were contaminated with the virus and fell ill despite “always” wearing a mask.

“In the 14 days before illness onset, 71% of case-patients and 74% of control participants reported always using cloth face coverings or other mask types when in public,” the report stated.

A reminder: it is forbidden for you to have this knowledge.

Mostly recently, from NationalReview.com:

Stats Hold a Surprise: Lockdowns May Have Had Little Effect on COVID-19 Spread

10-4-20

Data suggest mandatory lockdowns exacted a great cost, with a questionable effect on transmission.

If lockdowns really altered the course of this pandemic, then coronavirus case counts should have clearly dropped whenever and wherever lockdowns took place. The effect should have been obvious, though with a time lag. It takes time for new coronavirus infections to be officially counted, so we would expect the numbers to plummet as soon as the waiting time was over.

The authors conclude:

The evidence suggests, then, that the sweeping, mandated lockdowns that followed voluntary responses exacted a great cost, with little effect on transmission. We can’t change the past, but we should avoid making the same mistake again. 

Damn them.

Then there is this: the Great Barrington Declaration, in which:

As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.

The Great Barrington Declaration – As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection. 

Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice. 

Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.

Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza. 

As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e.  the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity. 

The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection. 

Adopting measures to protect the vulnerable should be the central aim of public health responses to COVID-19. By way of example, nursing homes should use staff with acquired immunity and perform frequent PCR testing of other staff and all visitors. Staff rotation should be minimized. Retired people living at home should have groceries and other essentials delivered to their home. When possible, they should meet family members outside rather than inside. A comprehensive and detailed list of measures, including approaches to multi-generational households, can be implemented, and is well within the scope and capability of public health professionals. 

Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.

This too, obviously, is forbidden knowledge — as it leaves open the option of supporting President Trump’s re-election.

Senator Melissa Mendez said: “The Governor has just moved Riverside County back into the most restrictive lockdown tier. With unemployment in CA 50% higher than the national average, he has just put MORE people out of work. We cannot sustain this

Now, most recently in Kalifornia, two newer events, first from Gavin Newsom:

California Announces Restrictive Reopening Guidelines For Disneyland, Universal Studios; Less Restrictive Measures For Smaller Parks

by Tom Tapp, 10-20-20

On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom teased the release of reopening rules for theme parks in the state, saying cryptically, “We are going to break up the theme parks…Not just one or two brands, it is many different parts of the theme park industry.”

Well, now we know what that means.

California’s director of Health and Human Services Dr. Mark Ghaly said Tuesday that smaller theme parks can resume operations in the state’s Orange Tier. Capacity will be limited to 25% or 500 visitors, whichever is fewer. Only outdoor attractions may reopen and only to guests who are residents of the same county.

Sure. Let’s make sure the “guidelines” are as convoluted and changeably fluctuous as possible, like trying to nail Jello to a tree.

The announcement drew a swift, negative reaction from executives at Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, Legoland and others.

Masks must be worn in all parks at all times, except when visitors are eating or drinking. Reservations will be required for all parks, with temperature checks at the gate.

Orange County, where Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm are, is currently in the Red Tier. Los Angeles, home to Universal Studios, is in the most restrictive tier, Purple.

Does anyone completely understand, by the way, the concept of a virus completely and voluntarily halting its spread when our mouths are open, eating?

So here’s what you have to do per Obergrüppenführer Newsom:

Among the physical distancing recommendations are:

-One-way foot traffic and clear directions to better control the flow of guests throughout the park, especially in certain heavily used and/or narrow throughways

-Plexiglass dividers on switchback lines/queues for attractions and concessions, or close sections of switchback lines/queues to ensure sufficient physical distance between visitors

-Implement timed and/or advanced reservation ticketing systems and pre-assigned seating or activity areas

-Discontinue tours or guided experiences that combine households or individuals from different households into the same tour group (Disneyland’s Haunted House comes to mind here)

-Face coverings are mandatory on attractions and rides throughout the park.

-No indoor lines are allowed for any attraction or ride.

My first thought: what’s the point? And again, as I continue to point out, it’s “cases cases cases.” Sooner or later everyone is going to be a “case.” “Cases” mean nothing.

You can clearly see why Disney CEO Bob Iger is most definitely off the Newsom Train, as he has had to release 28,000 employees. And running Disneyland is completely unsustainable on a 25% capacity.

Then this from a San Diego health official.

Dr. Wooten says it’s not her job to listen to WHO advice on lockdowns

by KUSI, 10-21-20

I speak Leftist, so let me translate: “the actual science can go to hell.”

It was sure odd how most Leftists were all adrape over the WHO and CDC when they advocated mass lockdowns, however. Strange, I’d say.

Can you be more nakedly political than this? Perhaps; I’m not quite sure how.

And also a very new story, this time from NPR:

Studies Point To Big Drop In COVID-19 Death Rates

by Geoff Brumfiel, 10-20-20

Two new peer-reviewed studies are showing a sharp drop in mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The drop is seen in all groups, including older patients and those with underlying conditions, suggesting that physicians are getting better at helping patients survive their illness.

“We find that the death rate has gone down substantially,” says Leora Horwitz, a doctor who studies population health at New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine and an author on one of the studies, which looked at thousands of patients from March to August.

The study, which was of a single health system, finds that mortality has dropped among hospitalized patients by 18 percentage points since the pandemic began. Patients in the study had a 25.6% chance of dying at the start of the pandemic; they now have a 7.6% chance.

You see a trend here? Something similar to “the science says open up” but Leftists are doing the opposite?

So what have we learned?

A few things.

When Demorats, Leftists and the American Media Maggots bleat, scream and cry that “it’s all about the science” in terms of Wuhan-19, you should instantly substitute in your Brain Housing Group:

“In an election year, everything is about the election.”

And moreover, making sure that OMB, President Donald John Trump, the guy with the dead cat on his head, isn’t re-elected.

It’s that simple.

Coronavirus: why are we still locked up? Where’s the “science”?

Posted on by

Because it’s the election, baby!

I’ve said it for years, I’ll say it again (okay, I stole the phrase from my Civics teacher, Mr Helms, in the 1960s), and Tucker Carlson owes me 25¢ every time he says it:

“In an election year, everything is about the election.”

Everything.

I have the citations. I have the stories. I have the articles. I have the videos. I have the facts. This post – (show) exists as an archive, a repository of stories to show to those disbelievers who think everything was justified and, frankly, we’re all going to die.

I guarantee, to date, you have heard little if ANY of this. That is purposeful. And that is also why I ask you to reference those doubters who seek facts to read this post, to check the links, to navigate the resources, and think for yourselves.

You can soak yourself in all the American Media Maggot gurp you wish. Here is the other side of the coin. The one you won’t hear.

It’s all Fear Porn, aimed at President Trump, having little if anything to do with actual science.

And to date, only one Leftist has had the guts to admit it, Los Angeles Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.

Audio: LA County Health Director Says Schools Won’t Reopen Until After November Election

KTLA Staff, 9-10-20

During a reported conference call with local educators, school nurses and other groups while discussing the upcoming flu season, Ferrer said:

“We don’t realistically anticipate that we would be moving either to Tier 2 [of California’s reopening plan] or to reopening K-12 schools at least…until after the election, after, you know, in early November. If we just look at the timing of everything, it seems to us the most realistic approach to this would be to think that we’re gonna be where we are now…until…we are done with the elections.”

At least there’s one Leftist telling the truth, and that I can admire in my own demented way.

So let’s cut to the chase up front, and I’ll present supporting evidence along the way.

The chase is this: the “science” says OPEN UP THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ELIMINATE THE LOCKDOWN, keep those at greatest risk separated and allow the economy, employers and employees to GET BACK TO WORK.

Let’s begin with this purposely-neglected article from July’s Washington Examiner:

Study: Coronavirus restrictions killing 10,000 children per month and ‘wasting’ and ‘stunting’ millions more

by Andrew Mark Miller, 7-29-20

A new study shows that coronavirus restrictions and lockdowns are leading to the deaths 10,000 children per month and stunting the growth of millions more.

“It’s been seven months since the first COVID-19 cases were reported, and it is increasingly clear that the repercussions of the pandemic are causing more harm to children than the disease itself,” UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore said. “Household poverty and food insecurity rates have increased.”

The study, conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University and published in the Lancet medical journal, said that hunger stemming from coronavirus restrictions is causing the deaths of 10,000 children per month and stunting the growth of another 550,000 per month.

This is The Lancet, folks — and Johns Hopkins University, not some “right-wing organ.”

“By having schools closed, by having primary healthcare services disrupted, by having nutritional programs dysfunctional, we are also creating harm,” Victor Aguayo, the head of UNICEF’s nutrition program, said.

The warning of the dire repercussions of the pandemic as well as the efforts to combat it echo the findings of other studies that have suggested lockdowns are costing a significant amount of harm.

One study published in May suggested that coronavirus restrictions will destroy seven times more years of life than lockdowns will save.

Another study showed that drug overdoses are skyrocketing since lockdowns were imposed, and a doctor in California told a local news outlet he believes suicides are rising as well.

We’ll get to those aspects.

Dr David Samadi, at work, practicing every day, and hated, despised by Leftists and social media, who have consistently removed and blocked his information — unlike an individual with the initials of A.F. — recently wrote and asked, per CDC numbers:

According to the CDC, through the end of July the average number of total deaths in the United States per day was 7,434 this year. In 2017 there were an average of more than 7,700 deaths per day in the United States. Where is the major increase in COVID-19 related death?

Statistics and science. And why I’m proving that locking up American citizens is absolutely unscientific bullshit.

Also, Dr Richard Harbison, MD, wrote:

I’m an MD. I got Covid 19 on March 24. I took HCQ (and zinc). I went from the sickest I’ve ever been to afebrile and symptom free within 24 hrs.

His Tweets and social media have also been taken down. Because Leftists and Demorats cannot afford to have an easy or ready solution to Wuhan-19, and things certainly cannot be ameliorated before November 3rd — precisely as LA Director Ferrer stated.

An article from 2017 no one wants you to know about as well, which was eliminated from social media:

Malaria drugs could help to combat cancer

by Honor Whiteman, 11-24-17

Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are drugs that are used to treat malaria, but a new review suggests that they may have another purpose: treating cancer.

The research — which reviewed more than 190 studies investigating how chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) affect cancer cells — describes how the malaria drugs may increase tumor sensitivity to existing cancer treatments.

Based on their findings, first study author Ciska Verbaanderd, from the University of Leuven in Belgium, and her colleagues say that the drugs “deserve further clinical investigations in several cancer types.”

Given that cancer is increasingly becoming resistant to existing therapies, there is a desperate need to uncover new ways to fight the disease.

Verbaanderd and colleagues believe that the drugs CQ and HCQ could help in this fight.

Then there was this, in late July, when Ohio pharmacists — not from any other state, just Ohio — decided they were going to refuse to fill scrips for hydroxychloroquine.

I drew serious crap from Leftists and pharmacists when I wrote something similar to “oh right, pharmacists clearly know better than doctors in terms of how to treat their individual patients.” A few blocked Twitter assholes later, I motored on.

The pharmacists (shocker) later withdrew their ban at the request of Ohio Governor Mike Dewine. But why ban it in the first place? I think you know why. OMB.

Dr Stephen Smith weighed in and, of course, was eliminated from YouTube wholesale.

Funny thing is, I’ve always had this question:

If hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc simply don’t work, then why are Leftist elements so terribly worried about Americans having access to it, if prescribed by a doctor?

Answers:

  • 1. Power and control.
  • 2. President Trump can’t be allowed any “win” whatsoever.
  • 3. Even if that “win” means saving American lives.
  • 4. Translated: Demorats and Leftists truly don’t give a shit about YOU.

Then there was this from CBN.com:

Yale Medical Expert: Hydroxychloroquine Saves Lives, ‘Propaganda War’ Is Killing People

by Andrea Morris, 7-25-20

As the number of deaths from COVID-19 rises, the debate over the effectiveness of the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine has also persisted.

In an op-ed published by Newsweek, Yale Epidemiology Professor Dr. Harvey Risch wrote that hydroxychloroquine is “highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.”

Risch said the drug works against the virus when taken early before it multiplies throughout the body. He said some physicians who prescribed hydroxychloroquine to patients are now being scrutinized for their actions.

And, as referenced, the Newsweek article (a source beloved by Leftists, I should care to point out) indicates:

The Key to Defeating COVID-19 Already Exists. We Need to Start Using It | Opinion

by Harvey A Risch, MD, PhD, 7-23-20

As professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, I have authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently hold senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. I am usually accustomed to advocating for positions within the mainstream of medicine, so have been flummoxed to find that, in the midst of a crisis, I am fighting for a treatment that the data fully support but which, for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of the science, has been pushed to the sidelines. As a result, tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19 are dying unnecessarily. Fortunately, the situation can be reversed easily and quickly.

I am referring, of course, to the medication hydroxychloroquine. When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.

Of course, that article was buried, ignored and never repeated by anyone in the American Media Maggot regime. You can never afford to give even the slightest win to OMB, no matter how many Americans you happen to kill in the process.

There is this article from the WHO indicating Wuhan-19 doesn’t follow seasons.

WHO says COVID-19 pandemic is “one big wave”, not seasonal

7-28-20

GENEVA — A World Health Organization (WHO) official on Tuesday described the COVID-19 pandemic as “one big wave” and warned against complacency in the northern hemisphere summer since the infection does not share influenza’s tendency to follow seasons.

Then there is Dr Fauci saying that Wuhan-19 follows seasons, and we’d best be prepared to be on lockdown until, well — how does late 2021 sound?

Okay, well, hold that thought — because wait, there’s more!

We seem to have forgotten these doctors — which social media has done yeoman’s work in an attempt to remove from sight.

Doctors With Coronavirus Treatment Face Orwellian Suppression

by Matt Stringer, 7-29-20

Several doctors across the country—who are apparently successfully treating the Chinese coronavirus—are experiencing an Orwellian-like oppression by the media and government regulators.

When reputable Texas doctors offered the world evidence of apparently successful treatment plans for the coronavirus, one might have expected medical researchers and leaders to rush to explore the feasibility of the treatment plan.

Instead, leaders have shunned the news, mainstream media has gone into hyperdrive to discredit the doctors, and medical elites have refused to explore the treatment plans. And now, tech giants have removed and suppressed viral social media posts containing information from those medical professionals regarding their treatments.

It is a terrifying act of suppression straight out of George Orwell’s “1984,” a book that describes a tyrannical future where truth is suppressed and lies are promoted.

The most well-known treatment plan receiving the most pushback is the use of hydroxychloroquine, a common drug used for treating malaria, combined with zinc tablets and an antibiotic.

Another video since de-rezzed from the bulk of social media, with praises for — zounds, no! — hydroxychloroquine! Here is Dr Simone Gold.

Watch the full video here, on BitChute.

A brief reminder, by the way. Remember the John Lewis funeral in Atlanta on July 30th?

All the folks attending the John Lewis funeral, from DC, were supposed to self-quarantine for TWO WEEKS according to DC law, when they returned. You think anyone did? Hell no. Not one. Not even one. Laws are for little people, proles, serfs, groundlings, servants, subjects. Not for the DC Elite.

Or as Amir Tsarfati wrote:

Can someone report this church to the authorities for holding an indoors service with more than 50 people? Oh wait. It’s a funeral of a politician where a failed former US president held an election campaign under the guise of a eulogy. The rules don’t apply here.

Another little-remembered event involving Dr Anthony Fauci.

Money and Politics Behind Anti-Hydroxychloroquine Bias, New Report Suggests

by Debra Heine

Remdesivir, an antiviral medication that was developed by the biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences, has been widely touted as the most promising drug to treat COVID-19, even though—so far—the new and expensive drug does not seem to be terribly effective at fighting the disease.

The anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, on the other hand, is cheap, has been used safely for decades, and has shown great promise as a weapon in the fight against the coronavirus—yet after President Trump mentioned it as a promising potential treatment for the disease, the media immediately blasted him for touting an “unproven” and potentially unsafe drug.

As Full Measure reported Sunday night, the two camps have divided along political lines, with conservatives siding with hydroxychloroquine and the left-leaning media backing remdesivir.

The FDA seems to have taken a side too, green-lighting emergency use of remdesivir for severely ill coronavirus patients, while warning that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine should only be taken in the hospital or as part of a formal study due to reports of “serious heart rhythm problems.”

Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson spoke with a doctor and several scientists who told her that the anti-hydroxychloroquine bias in the media has been “unwarranted,” “harmful,” and has even “cost lives.”

These are stories you haven’t heard, have you?

Attkisson also “followed the money” to find out why the two drugs are being treated so differently. Not surprisingly, she found that many of the people promoting remdesivir have major conflicts of interest.

She first spoke with cardiologist Dr. William O’Neill, a medical director at the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan, where both remdesivir and hydroxychloroquine are being studied.

O’Neill told Attkisson that the media’s attempts to “disprove and discredit” hydroxychloroquine has been “very harmful.”

“I think those of us that are actually involved in the scientific endeavor feel that there is some value to it and it has to be tested,” he said.

Joining many other doctors who have gone on the record to praise hydroxychloroquine as a promising treatment for coronavirus, O’Neill said that he’s seen improvement in every coronavirus patient to whom he has prescribed the drug.

Remdesivir, on the other hand, leaves him cold.

But aren’t the Demorats yelling from the highest towers that only Republicans are politicizing Wuhan-19 and its treatments?

Turns out BZ‘s Demorat Axiom is correct: “Whatever the Demorats accuse you of, they are doing themselves.”

Then there’s this, as we all pretty much suspected all along:

Dr. Hatfill told Attkisson that some of the decisions being made concerning the drugs “do not seem to be rational” and that when what seems like a clear path is not taken, “very often, money is somehow involved.”

The experts on a government panel that devised the coronavirus treatment guidelines talked up remdesivir but downplayed hydroxychloroquine. Full Measure checked into their financial ties to see if there were any conflicts of interest there.

“We found that of 11 members reporting links to a drug company, nine of them named relationships to remdesivir’s maker Gilead,” Attkisson said.

BZ speaks Leftist. Allow me to translate. Hydroxychloroquine is cheap, efficient, and doesn’t cost mega-dollars. But it is advocated by OMB and therefore cannot be embraced for any reason. Politics and money. Money and politics.

“In an election year, everything is about the election.”

Here’s something I’ve always wondered. Wouldn’t it be interesting to somehow get Dr Anthony Fauci to sit down and take a blood test? You know. Just to see if he’s been taking hydroxychloroquine and/or Azithromycin prophylactically.

And there’s this, which we’ve known for some time but continues to keep getting buried.

COVER UP: Fauci Approved Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine 15 Years Ago to Cure Coronaviruses; “Nobody Needed to Die”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose “expert” advice to President Trump has resulted in the complete shutdown of the greatest economic engine in world history, has known since 2005 that chloroquine is an effective inhibitor of coronaviruses.

How did he know this? Because of research done by the National Institutes of Health, of which he is the director. In connection with the SARS outbreak – caused by a coronavirus dubbed SARS- CoV – the NIH researched chloroquine and concluded that it was effective at stopping the SARS coronavirus in its tracks. The COVID-19 bug is likewise a coronavirus, labeled SARS-CoV-2. While not exactly the same virus as SARS-CoV-1, it is genetically related to it, and shares 79% of its genome, as the name SARS-CoV-2 implies. They both use the same host cell receptor, which is what viruses use to gain entry to the cell and infect the victim.

This is why I love the internet and its concomitant memory. If you just know how to research, you can find oh so many things.

The Virology Journal – the official publication of Dr. Fauci’s National Institutes of Health – published what is now a blockbuster article on August 22, 2005, under the heading – get ready for this – “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.”

Write the researchers, “We report…that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage.”

Why has Dr Fauci seemed to push back on hydroxychloroquine? Easy answer. Because he is aligned with an interest in Remdesivir, which is much more costly per dose. From the GatewayPundit.com:

STUNNING: Fauci’s Remdesivir Costs $9 Per Dose, Will Be Sold at $3,000 per Treatment — China Company Linked to Soros Will Also Mass Produce the Drug

by Jim Hoft, 6-29-20

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (https://aapsonline.org) filed a lawsuit against Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA for “irrational interference” by the FDA with timely access to hydroxychloroquine.

Never in history have we seen such a determined effort by the scientific community and pharmaceutical industry to downplay and lie about the use of a successful drug to treat a deadly disease.

Clear thinking individuals — of course that excludes the American Media Maggots, Leftists and Demorats — would be asking a litany of questions. Which they aren’t.

Hydroxychloroquine is the first choice in a study of 6,000 doctors treating the coronavirus. In the field and in independent testing hydroxychloroquine displayed amazing results in treating the COVID-19 virus.

But there was great pushback against hydroxychloroquine for two reasons. The first reason was because it was safe and very inexpensive. The second reason is because Donald Trump promoted its use.

You’re going to be seeing the studies which prove that.

As we reported earlier, from the beginning Dr. Fauci was against the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus. Fauci was thrilled about its use just a few years ago. (Hold that thought.)

Dr. Fauci did promote the use of Remdesivir. He was excited to share the news on its effectiveness in April.

The company Gilead produces Remdesivir. Gilead is partnered with Wuxi App Tec, a company that WND (World Net Daily) states is owned in part by George Soros. Connecting the dots. You’re welcome.

The one person behind the promotion of Gilead’s remdesivir is the doctor who has worked with Gilead for a long time, Dr. Fauci. He also has downplayed and criticized the use of the much cheaper drug hydroxychloroquine:

Can there be any uncertainty as to why Dr. Fauci, who worked closely with Gilead, is strongly promoting its more expensive and less effective medication, which has already failed against Ebola, over a readily available, markedly affordable medication with a 91% success rate?

But wait; there’s more.

Gilead said the drug will cost $520 per vial, or $3,120 for a six-vial treatment.

A previous report at Bloomberg noted the cost to manufacture remdesivir is only $9 per treatment. Hydroxychloroquine is only $1 per treatment!

Dr Anthony Fauci knew about the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine back in 2005. He conveniently forgot in 2020. The 2005 report stating this is here.

An article published by the Virology Journal dated August 22, 2005, calls into question some of Dr. Fauci’s past statements on Chloroquine (HydroxyChoroquine is a less toxic derivative of Chloroquine). The title is “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.” 

The Virology Journal is officially published through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and is part of the United States National Library of Medicine, a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

But then:

Dr. Anthony Fauci, an immunologist, has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984. NIAID is one of 27 institutes that make up the NIH.

You think Dr Fauci is stupid? That the doesn’t read the Virology Journal? Me neither.

As far as Dr Anthony Fauci is concerned, hydroxychloroquine will damned near kill you.

But wait. What else do we know about our beloved Dr Anthony Fauci? How about this, from Newsweek.com:

Dr. Fauci Backed Controversial Wuhan Lab with U.S. Dollars for Risky Coronavirus Research

by Fred Guterl, 4-28-20

Dr. Anthony Fauci is an adviser to President Donald Trump and something of an American folk hero for his steady, calm leadership during the pandemic crisis. At least one poll shows that Americans trust Fauci more than Trump on the coronavirus pandemic—and few scientists are portrayed on TV by Brad Pitt.

But just last year, the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the organization led by Dr. Fauci, funded scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other institutions for work on gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses.

In 2019, with the backing of NIAID, the National Institutes of Health committed $3.7 million over six years for research that included some gain-of-function work. The program followed another $3.7 million, 5-year project for collecting and studying bat coronaviruses, which ended in 2019, bringing the total to $7.4 million.

It gets better.

Many scientists have criticized gain of function research, which involves manipulating viruses in the lab to explore their potential for infecting humans, because it creates a risk of starting a pandemic from accidental release.

Actually, it gets much, much worse.

The work in question was a type of gain-of-function research that involved taking wild viruses and passing them through live animals until they mutate into a form that could pose a pandemic threat. Scientists used it to take a virus that was poorly transmitted among humans and make it into one that was highly transmissible—a hallmark of a pandemic virus. This work was done by infecting a series of ferrets, allowing the virus to mutate until a ferret that hadn’t been deliberately infected contracted the disease.

The work entailed risks that worried even seasoned researchers. More than 200 scientists called for the work to be halted. The problem, they said, is that it increased the likelihood that a pandemic would occur through a laboratory accident.

Just wait until you hear what a Chinese virologist thinks happened with Wuhan-19. Was it some kind of “accident”?

And knowing what you know, what do you think of this bit of Dr Fauci, from 2017?

I’m all out of bubblegum, and in 2020 I’m all out of coincidences.

I always ask questions. Social media, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Google, they don’t want you asking any questions. None.

Other doctors’ opinions, medical professionals — nothing can be in contravention of their views. Because none of them are — drum roll please — medical professionals.

So what have they done? Rip and remove articles and videos out by active, practicing doctors and other medical scholars. Ignoring tests. Ignoring studies. Ignoring actual real-world results.

When, conversely, medicine and science are, literally, all about asking questions, acquiring additional opinions, testing, prodding, trials, assessments, more questions, more appraisals.

But what if? What if you were a certain doctor — and what if you were instrumental in, purposely or unwittingly, creating a plague, with a vaccine at your fingertips, a real cash cow — wouldn’t you want to minimize the cheapest solution in favor of something with some real monetary zing? I’m not saying that’s etched in stone. But I am doing something that the American Media Maggots won’t.

I’m asking questions.

Then, an actual cogent article from the WaPo, “Where Democracy Dies In DC.”

The coronavirus pandemic is pushing America into a mental health crisis

by William Wan, 5-4-20

Anxiety and depression are rising. The U.S. is ill-prepared, with some clinics already on the brink of collapse.

Three months into the coronavirus pandemic, the country is on the verge of another health crisis, with daily doses of death, isolation and fear generating widespread psychological trauma.

Federal agencies and experts warn that a historic wave of mental-health problems is approaching: depression, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide.

Just as the initial outbreak of the novel coronavirus caught hospitals unprepared, the United States’ mental-health system — vastly underfunded, fragmented and difficult to access before the pandemic — is even less prepared to handle this coming surge.

“That’s what is keeping me up at night,” said Susan Borja, who leads the traumatic stress research program at the National Institute of Mental Health. “I worry about the people the system just won’t absorb or won’t reach. I worry about the suffering that’s going to go untreated on such a large scale.”

But if you ask Leftists and Demorats, this is the least-addressed of their concerns. They don’t wish to bring this topic up. Move along. Nothing to see here. These are not the reasons to unlock America you’re looking for.

And while almost everyone is experiencing increased stress, the effect for many will be transient — trouble sleeping, shorter fuses.

The difficulty is identifying and treating those who develop deeper, worrisome mental problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder and severe depression.

So let’s gaze back in history for a moment and ask ourselves: what’s pushed this frenzy, this reaction that I call Fear Porn — because it wasn’t always like this in the United States.

Who remembers the Asian Flu of 1957? I was alive then. I was a kid. I don’t remember. I don’t remember my parents making any mention of it whatsoever.

Or the Hong Kong Flu of 1968 that killed over 100,000 people — the equivalent of 160,000 people today, in terms of percentile? I don’t. I remember the Summer of Love in 1967. I remember the movie Bullitt in 1968. I remember both Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in 1968. I don’t remember crap about any flu. I was a senior in high school.

David Horowitz wrote:

The 1957 Asian flu, a form of H2N2 influenza that is believed to have originated in China, is estimated to have killed 116,000 Americans, the equivalent of roughly 200,000 in today’s larger America. Given that an estimated 25 percent of the entire country contracted that flu and a much larger share suffered from strong symptoms, one has to wonder what the recorded death toll would have been had we tested everyone and counted those deaths as liberally as we do today.

For even greater context, keep in mind that there were only about 4.9 million people over the age of 75 back then, as compared to 23 million today. So, while the general population was slightly more than half of what it is today, the over-75 population was approximately one-fifth of what it is today. The over-90 population was 1/12 of today’s advanced senior population. Accordingly, the death toll in 1957 was even more severe than with COVID-19 when one considers how many more seniors we have today. After all, the median age of death from COVID-19 is 78, roughly around life expectancy, with roughly half of all deaths occurring among sicker seniors in nursing homes.

Oh, the anarchy we had in 1957 and 1968! It was off the charts! Shutdowns, testing, the economy tanked twice because of it!

Uh, no. It didn’t. Somehow we muscled through it all and soldiered on.

Another more dangerous aspect of the Asian flu as compared to COVID-19 is that it seemed to be more dangerous to pregnant women and to cause birth defects, similar to what was observed during the Spanish flu. A study published in Minnesota in 1959 found that nearly 20% of deaths that occurred during pregnancy were due to the 1957-58 epidemic, making it the leading cause of death for pregnant women during those months. One-half of all women of child-bearing age who died during the epidemic were pregnant.

If that were true today, we’d have lost our shit three times over. The panic would have people wearing full body Dupont Tyvek suits. No one would be driving trucks, delivering goods, providing services; grocery stores would be closed, there would be chaos, panic and riots. Here’s the kicker:

There was never a thought to shut down people’s lives, and nobody ever thought that humans could stop the spread of the actual virus. Hence, few remember living through it.

Compare that to today. Back then we didn’t shut down the economy. We didn’t kill small businesses in favor of mega businesses and chains. We didn’t quarantine people,

“Quarantine was not considered to be an effective mitigation strategy and was ‘obviously useless because of the large number of travelers and the frequency of mild or unapparent cases.’”

Sound familiar? Except today, we are doing the opposite.

In 2006, D.A. Henderson, the former dean of Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, wrote:

“There are no historical observations or scientific studies that support the confinement by quarantine of groups of possibly infected people for extended periods in order to slow the spread of influenza.”

Horowitz concluded:

Thus, from 1957 until fairly recently – before the medical profession was politicized – they all understood that we lack the ability to stop the spread of a flu-like virus. The best we can do is treat it without sowing panic. As Henderson warned, “Experience has shown that communities faced with epidemics or other adverse events respond best and with the least anxiety when the normal social functioning of the community is least disrupted.”

What a shame that Henderson and the common sense that defined America until recently are no longer living.

Then this story from the Washington Examiner, which was absolutely buried by the American Media Maggots, burned, then the ashes buried.

CDC director acknowledges hospitals have a monetary incentive to overcount coronavirus deaths

by Andrew Mark Miller, 8-1-20

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield agreed that some hospitals have a monetary incentive to overcount coronavirus deaths as they do deaths for other diseases.

“I think you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes, too. Really, in the HIV epidemic, somebody may have a heart attack but also have HIV — the hospital would prefer the [classification] for HIV because there’s greater reimbursement,” Redfield said during a House panel hearing Friday when asked by Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer about potential “perverse incentives.”

Redfield continued: “So, I do think there’s some reality to that. When it comes to death reporting, though, ultimately, it’s how the physician defines it in the death certificate, and … we review all of those death certificates. So I think, probably it is less operable in the cause of death, although I won’t say there are not some cases. I do think though [that] when it comes to hospital reimbursement issues or individuals that get discharged, there could be some play in that for sure.”

“Some play in that for sure.”

Listen to Glenn Beck interview Dr Simone Gold, who is a board certified emergency physician, attended Standford Law School, she’s a doctor, a lawyer, worked for the Surgeon General in DC, working as a physician on the front lines in the city, country and reservations — and founded American Frontline Doctors. I can’t embed her video because, you guessed it, Facebook won’t allow the video to be embedded. Why? She discusses the utilization of hydroxychloroquine.

Listen here.

The “rules” of Wuhan-19, the “science” of it all, is what BZ calls “Kabuki Theater of the Absurd.” From the NYPost.com:

All the COVID safety rules are little more than theater

by Karol Markowicz, 8-3-20

If you go to a restaurant in Gotham right now, you might be subjected to a temperature check. It’s no big deal, it takes a second — but it’s pointless; plenty of COVID-positive people don’t have a fever. So why do we do it? It’s part of a growing trend of COVID-19 security theater. We do things that have no bearing on our actual safety but that make us feel safe.

Take masks. It makes sense to wear masks inside businesses or for any close contact with strangers. But why are people wearing them outside, when they’re not near anybody? Neighborhood message boards across the country are filled with complaints like: “I saw a bicyclist without a mask today!”

The problem is messaging from the top. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention coronavirus guru, is the man we all look to for direction. In March, he said, “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.” Now he’s gung-ho, yet his mask instruction is very convoluted.

He wore a mask to throw out the first pitch at the Opening Day game at Nationals Park — while standing more than 60 feet away from the nearest person. Then he sat down in the stands with his wife and friend, and they all took turns wearing and removing their masks.

In restaurants in New York, you must wear a mask to your seat. But then you take it off to eat, drink and talk, which is clearly where all the danger lies.

I could go on. YOU could go on. I’ll wager you still see, after all this time, brain-dead zombies wearing masks in their own cars. With the windows up. Don’t you shake your head and say out loud, “you stupid fucking moron”? I do.

And just as Demorat Governor Andrew Cuomo should, in my opinion, be tried on 11,000+ counts of manslaughter for pushing hot, infected Wuhan-19 patients into nursing homes where the very weakest in society live in tight quarters with the least trained staff and the least equipped staff — Demorat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, on August 3rd, vetoed a bill from the GOP-controlled Legislature that would have shifted elderly people with COVID-19 away from nursing homes and into entirely separate facilities.

So I have to continue to ask: just what is it about the nature of Demorats makes them so ignorant, so naive — or so dangerously evil? There’s a special kind of Hell that exists for people like that.

Here’s what we know about 2020 election politics in the time of Wuhan-19. OMB cannot be afforded any win whatsoever. The two states with the greatest ability to impede any effort of President Trump’s are in fact New York and Kalifornia. Thusly, this Kalifornia story should surprise no one.

L.A. Teachers Union Calls to Defund Police, Cap Charter Schools as Part of COVID Reopening Plan

by Zachary Evans, 7-16-20

The second-largest teachers union in the U.S. called to defund the police and place a moratorium on charter schools in a “research paper” recommending that Los Angeles city schools stay closed at the beginning of the fall semester.

United Teachers Los Angeles released its study on school reopenings on July 9, recommending that schools only open once a set of safety precautions and funding conditions are met. On Monday, the Los Angeles and San Diego school districts announced they would not reopen for the near future.

So it’s not about the Coronavirus. It’s about whatever amount of power, control and money the CTA and NEA can possibly acquire. It’s Cloward-Piven. It’s Alinsky. It’s the Perfect Storm. It’s “never let a good crisis go to waste.” And why shouldn’t it be a total power grab?

I know this is an aside but hell, it’s my blog and I get to wander as I wish. The State of Kalifornia wants your children. You parents don’t deserve them, you can’t be trusted, and you can’t be counted on.

You parents won’t do the right thing and prioritize sex, race and race and sex. You don’t get ahead in a Leftist society by prioritizing stupid things like history, mathematics, science and English. So parental control in Kalifornia has to go. We’ve got a Woke Child Mob agenda to further, so get out of the damned way, parents.

Which means that private schools have to go. Charter schools have to go. Home schooling has to go.

Which is really odd because, now, if you think about it, the Wuhan-19 thingie has proven that a lot of teachers are damned near superfluous because 100, 200, 300, 1000 students can be taught, over the internet, by one teacher and a good software program.

Simultaneously, home schooling is exploding. Charter schools are being created and enrolled. And the NEA and CTA are watching their power dribble away. Hence, well, you know. Teaching in Kalifornia isn’t about your kids. It’s about the teachers. Come on. Get with the program. Literally.

What about the children themselves?

Which brings me back to Kalifornia and Wuhan-19, from our capital’s Leftist organ, The Sacramento Bee, which never saw an article it couldn’t corrupt by inserting the Op-Ed page into every paragraph in every story.

California COVID-19 data glitch interferes with contact tracing, school reopening waivers

by Sophia Bollag and Tony Bizjak, 8-5-20

A major COVID-19 data glitch in California means counties don’t know how many residents have tested positive in recent days, suddenly making it hard to gauge their success in battling the coronavirus.

The computer problem, which is blocking case data from getting to the state and to counties, is inhibiting local officials from tracking infection spread and could stall Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to let some elementary schools reopen.

Cue the Church Lady.

This study emerged from the Henry Ford Health system — which the American Media Maggots kept quiet.

Treatment with Hydroxychloroquine Cut Death Rate Significantly in COVID-19 Patients, Henry Ford Health System Study Shows

7-2-20

DETROIT – Treatment with hydroxychloroquine cut the death rate significantly in sick patients hospitalized with COVID-19 – and without heart-related side-effects, according to a new study published by Henry Ford Health System.

In a large-scale retrospective analysis of 2,541 patients hospitalized between March 10 and May 2, 2020 across the system’s six hospitals, the study found 13% of those treated with hydroxychloroquine alone died compared to 26.4% not treated with hydroxychloroquine. None of the patients had documented serious heart abnormalities; however, patients were monitored for a heart condition routinely pointed to as a reason to avoid the drug as a treatment for COVID-19.

Would it surprise you to know that a YouTube video, once embedded in that story, is no longer available and has been removed?

Plus this good news:

Henry Ford Health System is currently also involved in a prophylactic hydroxychloroquine study: “Will Hydroxychloroquine Impede or Prevent COVID-19,” or WHIP COVID-19. The study is a 3,000-person, randomized, double-blinded look at whether hydroxychloroquine prevents healthcare and frontline workers from contracting the COVID-19 virus.

Please let me translate for the brain-addled Leftists amongst you. That means the study showed treatment with hydroxychloroquine cut death rates in half, in the sickest Wuhan-19 patients.

Let me also state, because I value clarity and honesty, that the entire Leftist/Demorat reason they are against hydroxychloroquine is because President Trump advocated for its use. Had he eschewed its utilization — and this is no joke — you can rest assured the rest of the Leftist sphere would be advocating hydroxychloroquine and, say, aspirin — if President Trump hated it.

How about some more stats? What did we discover about Florida in August?

Let’s take a closer look at Sarasota County over the last 30 days. According to the US Census, Sarasota County was inhabited by 433,742 souls as of July 1, 2019.  Here are the numbers according to the Florida Covid 19 “Dashboard.” Just follow this link and click on Sarasota County. Five thousand nine hundred seventy four Sarasotans tested positive since the first of July (July 7 to be precise). That is 1.3% of the total county population. Hospitalized? 360, which represents 0.08%. How about deaths? 160. That is roughly consistent with the number of deaths recorded state-wide – 0.036%.

What about neighboring Manatee County (seat of the city of Bradenton and winter home of the Pittsburgh Pirates)? Manatee has a slightly smaller population than Sarsota, weighing in with 413,655 happy inhabitants. 8,956 Manatee maniacs tested positive for Covid–i.e., 2.1%. More have been hospitalized – 589, which represents 0.14%. The death count is 189 or 0.045%.

And as the The Spectator indicates — here is why I call it Fear Porn. Here are the falsehoods that people in the UK and the United States believe:

In a recent Kekst CNC poll, British respondents estimated that nearly 7 percent of the UK population has died from the coronavirus. That would be 4.5 million people. Scots supposed that more than 10 percent of the UK population has died. That would be seven million people. Astonishingly, Americans believed that COVID has killed nine percent of their compatriots, or almost 30 million people!

You can’t believe the stats from Dr Fauci, you can’t believe the CDC, you can’t believe the stats from government — they have all at one time or another been caught fabricating data, covering up date, not mentioning salient data, or outright lying about data. From the NYPost.com:

Cuomo and his Health Dept. at odds over total New York COVID-19 deaths

by Carl Campanile, 8-5-20

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his own Health Department are at odds over how many New Yorkers have died from the coronavirus.

The governor on Wednesday reported 25,179 COVID-related fatalities in New York State.

But the state Health Department said in issuing an emergency directive on Wednesday that more than 32,000 Empire State residents have died from the killer bug.

The bulk of those — easily over a third — were killed when Governor Cuomo mandated that hot Wuhan-19 patients be placed in nursing facilities containing the elderly, a group of individuals least capable of fending off such a virus, in facilities poorly staffed, poorly equipped, and in many homes where ten or more weak, elderly patients may occupy one room.

We’ve worried about vaccinations. Would they be effective? What would be placed in them? Trackers — which, by the way, is technologically possible and is being considered for Africa? And would they be mandatory?

What if you said no?

From News10SanDiego.com:

States have authority to fine or jail people who refuse coronavirus vaccine, attorney says

by Derek Staahl, 8-7-20

Legal precedent dates back to 1905

As drugmakers race to develop a vaccine against the coronavirus, several legal questions are emerging: could the government require people to get it? Could people who refuse to roll up their sleeves get banned from stores or lose their jobs?

The short answer is yes, according to Dov Fox, a law professor and the director of the Center for Health Law Policy and Bioethics at the University of San Diego.

“States can compel vaccinations in more or less intrusive ways,” he said in an interview. “They can limit access to schools or services or jobs if people don’t get vaccinated. They could force them to pay a fine or even lock them up in jail.”

What if technically it’s “not mandatory,” but you won’t be allowed into grocery stores until you’re “proven clean by way of vaccine”? You won’t be allowed into banks? You won’t be allowed into stores? Repair personnel can’t come to your home until you’re “proven clear by way of vaccine”?

Although states would have the authority to mandate vaccinations, there’s more doubt about whether Congress could enact a federal requirement.

The most likely federal vaccination requirement would come in the form of a tax penalty, but Fox said given the current composition of the Supreme Court, a federal vaccine requirement would likely be found unconstitutional.

ANOTHER reason that having reasonable jurists on SCOTUS is an imperative.

And:

A coronavirus vaccine should be mandatory, and tax penalties, higher insurance premiums, and denial of many government and private services ought to be considered for those refusing the shot, two doctors and an attorney argued in USA Today on Thursday.

What about masks? You’ve all heard the shrill Karen Army of Mask Nazis. Here’s an article from Fee.org:

Europe’s Top Health Officials Say Masks Aren’t Helpful in Beating COVID-19

by Jon Miltimore,, 8-6-20

The top medical experts in the world can’t decide if masks are helpful in reducing the spread of COVID-19 or just make things worse.

Denmark boasts one of the lowest COVID-19 death rates in the world. As of August 4, the Danes have suffered 616 COVID-19 deaths, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.

That’s less than one-third of the number of Danes who die from pneumonia or influenza in a given year.

Despite this success, Danish leaders recently found themselves on the defensive. The reason is that Danes aren’t wearing face masks, and local authorities for the most part aren’t even recommending them.

This prompted Berlingske, the country’s oldest newspaper, to complain that Danes had positioned themselves “to the right of Trump.”

“The whole world is wearing face masks, even Donald Trump,” Berlingske pointed out.

This apparently did not sit well with Danish health officials. They responded by noting there is little conclusive evidence that face masks are an effective way to limit the spread of respiratory viruses.

Ouch. That’s gotta hurt.

Dutch public health officials recently explained why they’re not recommending masks.

“From a medical point of view, there is no evidence of a medical effect of wearing face masks, so we decided not to impose a national obligation,” said Medical Care Minister Tamara van Ark.

I’m sure you heard of this story and the state of Denmark, right? No? What about Dr Fauci’s position in March?

In late February, early March, here’s what the CDC said:

Some more truth.

I’d like to take this point to illuminate some disparities. Despite having the strictest mask mandates in the United States, Hawaii has seen Wuhan-19 cases explode.

On the other hand, look at Africa. Look at South Africa. Everyone expected Wuhan-19 to have its way with the entire continent, to turn it into a massive quagmire of infections and death. No such thing. I believe there are a number of reasons why, not just one.

Hydroxychloroquine is still prescribed there against Malaria. There aren’t many old folks. People live together in many places, cheek-to-jowl in conditions are not the finest in terms of sanitation. Part of that creates an inherent immunity against much of what the rest of the world faces. People may already have various degrees of immunity against the Rona.

In America, we’ve dropped our immunities. We scrub and wash and sanitize with hundreds of different and available liquids and gels. Kids stay inside. They don’t interact with the outdoors like they used to. I submit that, as a culture, we’re not building up and reinforcing our immunities. Parents think they’re “doing good.” I submit they may not be.

As I wrote: “It’s called an IMMUNE SYSTEM. Try using it. You were issued one. You either killed it or you kept it warm.”

Then there was this bombshell from the CDC:

New CDC report says 94% of COVID deaths had underlying conditions, only 6% died from COVID alone

by Adam Ford, 8-30-20

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a new report detailing how many COVID-19 deaths in America also involved other underlying health conditions.

According to the report, only 6% of the COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. list COVID-19 as the only cause of death. 94% of COVID-19 deaths involved at least one other underlying health condition, and on average involved “2.6 additional conditions or causes of death.”

That too was removed from sight by the American Media Maggots, who can be counted on, like cats, to cover up shit that doesn’t fulfill and enhance their anti-Trump agendas of “Trumpf über alles enterfernen.”

Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots all labeled that as twisted, skewed bullshit. Funny thing, though. Minnesota State Senator, Dr Scott Jensen, already spoke about the official CDC Wuhan-19 death guidelines back in April — and the financial incentives involved. Financial. Incentives.

Then there’s this from AIER.org. Guaranteed you haven’t heard of this article, because the first paragraph says it all and wouldn’t be tolerated.

The Virus Doesn’t Care about Your Policies

by Jeffrey Tucker, 8-25-20

Based on the data, there seems to be no relationship between lockdowns and lives saved. That’s remarkable, given that we know for sure that lockdowns have destroyed economies the world over.

Every epidemic model being flung around in March built in the assumption that lockdowns would control the virus. In the early days, it was about preserving hospital capacity. Later it became a general principle: slow the spread. The methods were the same in nearly every country. Ban large gatherings. Close schools. Shutter businesses. Enforce stay-home orders. Mandate human separation. Masks. Travel restrictions.

Nothing like this has been tried in the whole history of humanity, certainly not on this scale. You might suppose, then, there was absolute certainty that there would be a causal relationship between lockdowns and the trajectory of the virus. Just as the FDA doesn’t approve a drug unless it is proven to be safe and effective, one might suppose the same would be true for a policy that shattered every routine and trampled human rights in the name of disease mitigation.

Surely! It turns out that this is not the case. It was pure speculation that lockdowns would suppress this virus, and that speculation was based on a hubristic presumption of the awesome power and intelligence of government managers.

Who by their very nature, are not intelligent. They are, however, political. And remember:

“In an election year, everything is about the election.”

For five months, governments all over the world have been freaking out, ordering people around to do this and that, passing mandate after mandate, and yet there is no evidence that any of it matters to the virus.

Already in mid-April questions arose. Prof Isaac Ben-Israel, head of the Security Studies program at Tel Aviv University and the chairman of the National Council for Research and Development, looked at the data around the world and concluded that the virus comes and goes after 70 days regardless of the policies deployed. He found no relationship at all between locking down and transmission and death.

Fast forward to mid-July. Data scientists investigated the experience from the spring. They too found no relationship between the virus and policy. Putting it very bluntly: “Rapid border closures, full lockdowns, and wide-spread testing were not associated with COVID-19 mortality per million people.”

That’s awesome to consider. Billions of lives fundamentally altered. Economies wrecked. Centuries-old traditions of liberty and law thrown out. Police states everywhere. And to what end? The data indicate it was all for naught. Apparently, you cannot control a virus with state policies. The virus just doesn’t seem to care.

Tucker concludes:

At some point, we are going to have to throw in the towel. Whether a country locks down or stays open has as much predictive power over deaths per million as whether it rains today is related to the color of my socks. Or whether hurricanes are controlled by literacy rates.

In other words, the claim that lockdowns control viruses is pseudoscience or magical thinking of a deeply dangerous sort; it wrecks economies and lives.

To be sure, there are plenty of studies claiming that lockdowns saved lives but the high-profile ones are model-based extrapolations that presume the existence of a relationship that the facts do not seem to back up. If there is a broad-based research study using real data that demonstrates something life-saving about destroying rights and liberties in the name of virus control, I’ve yet to see it. (A disagreeing reader sends me this paper, which you are free to read and consider.)

Meanwhile, we are overwhelmed with evidence that it was all pointlessly destructive. Liberty means the practice of health and wealth; lockdowns lead to exactly what D.A. Henderson predicted: catastrophe.

Australia, the land of freedom since 1996, says this about hydroxychloroquine.

Then this unique video from Australia.

Plus: what’s really being done in Australia. The government is creating a DNA database that is being shared to China.

And this notation.

Worldometers coronavirus page shows 99% of known cases worldwide (which are only a percentage of actual cases, btw) defined as “mild,” with 1% being “serious or critical.” After a rougher start, the death rate is now approaching that of the flu. Why is everyone still panicking?

From WSJ.com:

Covid-19 Cases, Death Rates Are Declining Six Months Into Pandemic

by Jon Kamp and Sarah Krouse, 9-9-20

Medical experts warn against complacency, with some forecasters saying the U.S. Covid-19 death toll could more than double by Jan. 1

The U.S. is catching its breath after a punishing six months of the coronavirus pandemic, with the daily death toll from Covid-19 declining in the wake of summertime outbreaks in Sunbelt states like Florida and Texas.

Still, public health authorities and researchers are warning Americans not to let their guard down. The confluence of students mixing once again in classrooms, colder weather in places like the Northeast and fatigue from long-running pandemic isolation threatens to trigger more cases while driving the deaths…

The WSJ can’t afford to let you feel too good — there has to be the Death Hammer in there, some place. But notice the current trend:

The American Media Maggots keep mentioning cases cases cases cases.

That’s just about immaterial. Tell me about the hospitalizations, the lack of beds, and the deaths. Oh wait. You’re predominantly not hearing about that. It’s because deaths are going down.

Nor, again, are you hearing about the related deaths from suicides, mental illness, the ruination of individuals, families, businesses. But not big corporations. Oh no. Walmart? Doing just fine. Amazon? Doing just fine. Media corporations? Doing just fine.

Politicians and bureaucrats? Doing just fine. Not one job lost. Not one meal missed.

OPEN. AMERICA. UP.

And as opposed to Joe Biden, who said 200 million Americans died from Coronavirus, Dr Fauci said President Trump saved lives.

According to presidential candidate Joe Biden, over half of America is now dead, from Wuhan-19.

Then the good doctor weighs in again. But is anyone listening? No. Anyone on the Republican side? No. Republicans gathering en masse to protest mail-in ballots, which are designed to clog the system and derail the presidential election? No.

Fauci says there is ‘no reason’ Americans can’t vote in person in November

by Brooke Singman, 8-14-20

Infectious disease expert says it’ll be safe to cast ballots in person if voters follow social distancing guidelines

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci said this week there is “no reason” Americans can’t vote in person for the 2020 presidential election, so long as voters follow proper social distancing guidelines amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Joe Biden just voted in person. Folks, if Joe Biden can vote in person, anyone can vote in person.

OPEN. AMERICA. UP.

Close to 1,000 German doctors are questioning the WHO. Everyone should.

“We will not, we cannot go back to the way things were. The Covid-19 pandemic has given new impetus to the need to accelerate efforts to respond to climate change.”

– WHO Director Tedros Adhanom

Wuhan-19 isn’t about a “vaccine.” It’s about WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION & FLEECING YOU.

The CDC also wrote:

“Because the general public has not received training on proper selection and use of respiratory PPE, it cannot be certain whether respiratory PPE worn during contact with an individual with COVID-19 infection protected them from exposure.”

They don’t know.

OPEN. AMERICA. UP.

I can’t embed, but listen to this concerning Bill Gates and Dr Anthony Fauci.

And here is a tale of two governors, Ron DeSantis of Florida, and Gavin Newsom of Kalifornia.

Revolver Exclusive Study: COVID-19 Lockdowns Over 10 Times More Deadly Than Pandemic Itself

8-31-20

A groundbreaking new study commissioned by Revolver News concludes that COVID-19 lockdowns are ten times more deadly than the actual COVID-19 virus in terms of years of life lost by American citizens.

Up until this point there had been no simple, rigorous analysis that accurately and definitively conveys the true costs of the COVID-19 lockdowns. Accordingly, Revolver News set out to commission a study to do precisely that: to finally quantify the net damage of the lockdowns in terms of a metric known as “life-years.” Simply put, we have drawn upon existing economic studies on the health effects of unemployment to calculate an estimate of how many years of life will have been lost due to the lockdowns in the United States, and have weighed this against an estimate of how many years of life will have been saved by the lockdowns. The results are nothing short of staggering, and suggest that the lockdowns will end up costing Americans over 10 times as many years of life as they will save from the virus itself.

Read the rest of the article for more.

But Joe Biden says:

I repeat: 99.5% of people will not be hospitalized or die from Wuhan-19. And yet we’re bankrupting people, ruining families, killing businesses and geometrically increasing suicides.

OPEN. AMERICA. UP.

Even the New York Times revealed:

Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be.

by Apoorva Mandavilli, 8-29-20

The usual diagnostic tests may simply be too sensitive and too slow to contain the spread of the virus.

Some of the nation’s leading public health experts are raising a new concern in the endless debate over coronavirus testing in the United States: The standard tests are diagnosing huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the virus.

But wait. I thought it was all about “cases,” why we’re doomed. What if the “cases” aren’t really bad cases after all? What if they’re pretty much negligible?

The New York Post gets into questioning things.

It’s now looking like the lockdowns may have been a huge mistake

by Michael Barrone, 9-6-20

Were lockdowns a mistake? To that nagging question, the answer increasingly seems to be yes.

Certainly, they were a novelty. As novelist Lionel Shriver writes, “We’ve never before responded to a contagion by closing down whole countries.” As I’ve noted, the 1957-58 Asian flu killed between 70,000 and 116,000 Americans, between 0.04 percent and 0.07 percent of the nation’s population. The 1968-70 Hong Kong flu killed about 100,000, 0.05 percent of the population.

The US coronavirus death toll of 186,000 is 0.055 percent of the current population. It will go higher, but it’s about the same magnitude as those two flus, and it has been less deadly to those under 65 than the flus were. Yet there were no statewide lockdowns; no massive school closings; no closings of office buildings and factories, restaurants and museums. No one considered shutting down Woodstock.

So what changed? American Media Maggot-driven Fear Porn against President Trump.

The anti-lockdown blogger (and former New York Times reporter) Alex Berenson makes a powerful case that lockdowns delayed, rather than prevented, infections.

There are old lessons here. Governments can sometimes channel but never entirely control nature. There is no way to entirely eliminate risk. Attempts to reduce one risk may increase others. Amid uncertainty, people make mistakes. Like, maybe, the lockdowns.

Dr Mark McDonald continues to tell the truth about hydroxychloroquine.

Stanford expert blasts COVID lockdown failures: ‘We quarantined the healthy … exposed the sick’

by Daniel Payne, 9-10-20

Stanford Professor Jay Bhattacharya talks “disastrous decision” of loading COVID patients into nursing homes, failing to follow pandemic playbook.

Citizens and public authorities fixated on society-wide lockdowns as a key measure to combat COVID-19 have failed to account for the devastating effects those measures can have on society as a whole, a Stanford professor of medicine says.

Jay Bhattacharya, the director of Stanford’s Program on Medical Outcomes as well as the director of the school’s Center on the Demography and Economics of Health and Aging, said in an interview this week on the John Solomon Reports podcast that he found it “shocking” that, as countless countries earlier this year moved to shut down ahead of COVID-19, so many had forgotten to “think about both the cost and benefits” of such policies.

“Country after country made the same decision with a couple of exceptions,” Bhattacharya said. “And I think that was a major problem.”

The professor said the global community largely abandoned the playbooks followed during earlier pandemics, instead “jump[ing] to a global lockdown.”

Bhattacharya alluded to the policies in states such as New York and Pennsylvania that instructed nursing homes to accept COVID-19-positive patients, decisions which critics have claimed led to a significantly elevated death rate in nursing homes.

“We essentially, in effect, exposed people who were at high risk in nursing homes, in assisted care facilities, elderly populations,” Bhattacharya said. “We essentially, in the early days of the epidemic, did the inverse of the right policy.”

“We quarantined the healthy, and we exposed the sick,” he added.

Eventually, some good news unwittingly seeped out.

U.S. COVID-19 Cases Fall 15% in Past Week, Deaths Down for Four Weeks

by Reuters, 9-14-20

(REUTERS) – THE NUMBER of new cases of the novel coronavirus reported in the United States fell 15% last week from the previous seven days, and deaths fell for a fourth week in a row, according to a Reuters analysis.

The United States reported on average about 35,000 new cases each day in the week ended Sept. 13, marking the eighth straight week of declines from a peak in July of about 70,000 new cases a day. On average, more than 735 people a day died from COVID-19 last week, with fatalities declining in California and Texas and holding steady in Florida.

THEN: what we suspected was confirmed. From someone who ought to know. CHINA IS OUR ENEMY.

Covid-19 “genetically engineered to target humans”

by Ana Mico, 9-16-20

Li-Meng Yan and her team of researchers published a 26-page document laying out how Covid-19 could have been developed artificially in Chinese labs.

Li-Meng Yan, the Chinese virologist who has been in hiding in the US after claiming that the Chinese authorities not only knew about the novel coronavirus long before the first cases were officially reported in Wuhan last December but who has also suggested Covid-19 was created in a Chinese military laboratory has published with her team of researchers a 26-page document laying out her theory that the pandemic sweeping the world is not of natural origin.

Yan and her team published their findings on Zenodo in a report entitled “Unusual Features of the SARS CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification Rather Than Natural Evolution and Delineation of Its Probable Synthetic Route.”

I could make a very good case for: this is war. On a planetary scale.

And the skewed statistics aren’t stopping.

Coronavirus testing at Boston lab suspended after nearly 400 false positives

by Minyvonne Burke, 9-9-20

An investigation by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health found that there were at least 383 erroneous positive results.

A Boston lab suspended coronavirus testing after an investigation uncovered nearly 400 false positive COVID-19 results.

Orig3n, a biotechnology company which counts dozens of nursing homes as its clients, ceased testing on Aug. 8 at the request of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. The suspension came days after state health officials became aware of an unusually high number of positive coronavirus tests.

An investigation found that there were at least 383 inaccurate positive results from the lab that, upon re-testing, came back as negative.

And just in case you didn’t think the CDC was incompetent — here’s more incompetence.

CDC Says Aerosol Guidance Was “Posted in Error” to Website

by Ryan Chatelain, 9-21-20

ATLANTA — On Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated their guidelines to say that the coronavirus can be spread through tiny respiratory droplets called aerosols that can linger in the indoor air.

But, according to reports from The Washington Post and CNBC, the CDC now says that it was posted on its website in error.

So. Either the CDC was lying then. Or they’re lying now. My. I’m confident.

Here are the facts we’d best get used to: we’ll never know. We’ll never know precisely how many people were hospitalized behind Wuhan-19. We’ll never know precisely how many people were killed strictly behind Wuhan-19.

And we’ll only be able to guesstimate how many people had their work lives destroyed, their businesses destroyed, and how many people committed suicide behind being locked up in their homes and all of the other associated physical and mental issues.

Because we’re so much smarter today. Or are we? The whole point of this post is to ask questions and, moreover, to LEARN SOMETHING from this massively-costly and unnecessarily-deadly experience itself.

To date, what have we learned?

This:

Wuhan-19 lockdowns have little if anything to do with actual science.

They, however, have everything to do with politics and impeding the re-election of President Donald John Trump, OMB, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head.

Period.

P.S.

Then there is this.

COVID-19 patient was black and paralyzed, so doctors decided his life wasn’t worth saving

by Charles Camosy, 7-10-20
Last month, a disabled, 46-year-old African American man was euthanized without his consent or that of his wife. But rather than exploding amid our racial-justice moment, the story hardly yielded a peep from those who control our national discourse.
In 2017, Michael Hickson suffered a brain injury that left him paralyzed. Still, he was able to enjoy many activities: having books read to him, listening to music, answering trivia questions. He had memory problems, but he recalled his birthday and Social Security number with ease. Michael was leading the kind of life many people with disabilities do: not without difficulties but intrinsically valuable and dignified.
Then Michael contracted COVID-19 and was admitted to St. David’s Medical Center of South Austin, Texas. A disagreement over his care led to medical decision-making being taken away from his wife and given to the state and his medical team.

Michael Hickson. This is a human being. Covid made him nothing.

And I include the photo because it makes the situation even more obvious, striking and despicable.

Michael didn’t do well and needed intensive care. His wife, Melissa, apparently did not trust his medical team and decided to (legally) record the exchange she had with her husband’s doctor.
As the recording shows, they agreed that Michael should not be intubated, but Melissa still wanted Michael to be treated aggressively. The doctor insisted aggressive treatment wouldn’t “help him improve” and “right now, his quality of life . . . he doesn’t have much of one.”
Melissa was taken aback: “What do you mean?” she asked. “Because he’s paralyzed with a brain injury, he doesn’t have quality of life?”
“Correct,” the doctor flatly replied.
Pressed further by Melissa, who admirably kept her cool, the doctor admitted he’d had three patients survive who were in Michael’s situation but claimed her husband’s case “doesn’t fit those three.”

I apologize to the author — please note: Charles Camosy — but the significance of his story is such that it deserves to be printed and read in its entirety.

Michael’s “quality of life is different from theirs,” she was told. The others “were walking and talking people.”
Melissa tried to respond, but the doctor had had enough. “I don’t mean to be frank or abrasive, but at this point, we are going to do what we feel is best for him along with the state, and this is what we decided.”
Melissa did get in one last shot by telling him that this was a decision to kill her husband. And she had good reason to think so: Giving her husband food, water, oxygen and medicine would have not been burdensome treatment. And Michael may have beaten the odds.
The hospital had plenty of space for him. The issue, the doctor made clear, was Michael’s disability. The state and the hospital decided that they shouldn’t try to save someone with his disabilities.

Read that again: The hospital had plenty of space for him. The issue, the doctor made clear, was Michael’s disability. The state and the hospital decided that they shouldn’t try to save someone with his disabilities.

After pro-life journalists broke the story on June 26, the National Council on Disability publicly called on the federal Office of Civil Rights at the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate the hospital for violating Michael’s civil rights.
“When a medical facility makes a decision to deny medical care to a person with a disability that is based on, or influenced by, biased views about life with a disability, it runs afoul of federal civil rights laws,” the group said.
Yet when the Washington Post, a paper otherwise all in on outing structural racism, picked up the story, it framed Melissa’s claims skeptically and credulously accepted the hospital’s word that “it wasn’t possible to save” Michael and that none of its decisions was made on the basis of his disability.
Sorry, but the recording was clear: An ­institution with power over Michael’s very life had deemed it a life unworthy of life.

But wait; there’s always more.

Owing to structural health disparities, many African Americans have a justified fear of being treated like “throwaway people” in a clinical setting, particularly when it comes to so-called “end-of-life” decisions.
And because doctors are often ableist in their assumptions, the vulnerability of African American patients are magnified when they are disabled. Health providers consistently rate the quality of life of their disabled patients worse than the patients themselves.
When confronted with the fact that patients generally prefer length of life to quality of life, many physicians find themselves “surprised” and admit: “We think we know what is best for a patient, but this is often wrong.” It’s appalling.
If you care about racial justice, remember Michael Hickson. Say his name. Tell his story.

Due to an issue, not of his making, Michael Hickson was euthanized because he contracted Coronavirus while disabled. Recall:

In 2017, Michael Hickson suffered a brain injury that left him paralyzed. Still, he was able to enjoy many activities: having books read to him, listening to music, answering trivia questions. He had memory problems, but he recalled his birthday and Social Security number with ease.

And so here we go. Why should Michael Hickson live? How productive is he going to be? Shouldn’t we just let him die?

Great words, because it’s no longer a question. He’s no longer a “problem.” He’s just dead.

Aren’t you proud America? Isn’t this what you want, Demorats? Leftists? Winnowing the field? Culling the herd?

Introducing the most virulent disease of 2020 into nursing facilities, mandating by law that those persons infected with Wuhan-19 be placed into buildings containing, in small rooms, those Americans with the least possible physical ability to fight off the Wuhan-19 virus, America’s elderly — and being shocked when almost 50% of American deaths from the virus are in fact from nursing homes?

Where, oh, by the way, the staffs are the least trained — and possess the least amount of proper equipment?

Ezekiel Emanual: death boards. No one should live over the age of 75. And the unborn and just-born should be killed as well.

Michael Hickson was not a chunk of flesh. He was responsive and he was aware. He caught a virus. So he was euthanized. Like a dog, or a horse with a broken leg.

This is August of 2020.

But THIS is where we are as a nation?

In MEDICINE? In GOVERNMENT?

And still people lie to you, and me, day after day after day.

This is how we do things — in the United States of America — in September of 2020.
