U.S. Surgeon General, 2022
Thank you for your interest. I have been distracted, bamboozled and affected by covid misinformation during this public health emergency, along with hundreds of millions of Americans and billions of earthlings. Many became more suspicious, anxious and isolated, which damaged themselves, their relationships and communities. The entire planet was plunged into panic in a great reset. From the earliest hints that a novel coronavirus was coming out of China, there were authoritative sources claiming mutually exclusive “facts.” Disputed evidence multiplied over the next years until confused consumers of news, opinions, papers, guidelines, mandates, blogs, vlogs and online comments were bewildered by contradictory narratives.
Although it was “novel”, the virus was close cousins to SARS 1. Conflicting claims that it definitely wasn’t made in a lab or that it obviously was circulated. “Guidelines” demanded by infectious disease specialists, dictating school, small business and public space closures, shelter in place, masking and social distancing were “evidence based.” Opposite research proving these policies were ineffective at reducing spread, hospitalizations and deaths, and far harmful to most people’s health, by severing economic and social ties.
Extensive damage to the social, educational, physical and economic health of citizens of all ages and class ensued. For decades, public health agencies have prioritized controlling infectious diseases over effective actions to reduce sedentary obesity fueling chronic diseases driving most hospitalizations and deaths.
Social isolation, loss of control, financial stressors, academic and employment disruption, combined with confusing and contradictory information from official sources created immediate and long term medical and psychological harms. Entire generations have been retarded from infant brain development, to educational and economic opportunities. Personal and social connections were catastrophically disrupted with enormous psychological and physical harms.
The highest paid government public health authority conspired to quash dissent from the official narrative. Red flags signaling misinformation were ignored or trashed. Two Weeks to Slow the Spread mutated to only Warp Speed Vaccines could save us. Positive PCR tests of Infection became Cases. Death with Covid piled onto death from totals. From One and Done or Double Jab, to Boosters Needed every quarter.
Widening the window of vaccine injured for a Pandemic of the Unvaxxed. Suppressing evidence that early treatment with various low cost and non toxic supplements and medicines was critical to recovery. EUA approval of dangerous, ineffective biological products. It’s hard to keep track of all the confusing misinformation dropped into the Memory Hole since 2020, but I kept a log.
Pandemic Panic: Writings from the Inside, collected chronicles gleaned from public sources before their published date stamp.
The great thing about the Surgeon General’s (so military) request for comments, is that someone has to read them. So we’re a job creator. The more information we supply, the more jobs. Unless they have AI on the job.
Believing in fairy tales about the job creator class, I attached Pandemic Panic, along with my uncondensed Medical Monopoly series, Save Trillions with Universal Health Care, Cancer Cathedral: Prevention is the Cure, Mandatory Vaccinations = Totalitarian Inoculation and Psychiatry: Voodoo Science (in progress).
Government paid readers are going to have to take shifts. Not that I expect an honest appraisal from the General. Pretty obvious that the fix is in, but someone, somewhere (possibly offshored) is getting paid to read this. You’re not, so I’ve kept it succinct.
To be honest, footnotes are boring. Links are a distraction from the text, although rabbit holes are full of surprises. I’ve extracted the essence of selected articles, papers, essays and opinions as illustration for my Surgeon’s sentences, so you don’t have to. Links to the source are included for those online, (for now). These are a tiny sample of what’s available, with more every minute. Feel free to add yours, and please briefly describe it.
Dr. Anthony Fauci Update on Coronavirus Pandemic | C-SPAN.org, “as you see here, it is, from a genetic standpoint, quite proximal to the original sars, thus the nomenclature was changed where the original sars became sars-co-v-1 and mers — and the new novel …”
The Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Pandemic, “the 2003 SARS-CoV was found to be the most closely related (approximately 79% homology) among coronaviruses that are capable of infecting humans. Unlike SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 is capable of causing sustained community transmission since an infected host can infect, on average, 2–3 uninfected individuals .9 The estimated infection fatality rate (IFR)—used in place of case fatality ratio because it is generally believed that a significant number of infected individuals are not diagnosed—of SARSCoV-2 is also much lower at 0.3–1.0%; in comparison, SARS-CoV had a case fatality rate of 9.6%.”
“The Lancet, had in February last year, published an open letter that ‘strongly condemned conspiracy theories’ surrounding the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, suggesting that Covid-19 does not have a natural origin. Earlier this year, it was revealed earlier that Peter Daszak — a British scientist and president of the US-based non-profit EcoHealth Alliance that has a direct connection with China — had secretly orchestrated the now-infamous letter. The firm has also funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
“In October 2021, the US intelligence community released the full report of its probe into the origins. The report did not conclusively favor any origin scenario. Of the eight assembled teams, one (the FBI) leaned towards a lab leak (with moderate confidence), four others (and the National Intelligence Council) leaned towards zoonosis (with low confidence), and three were unable to reach a conclusion.[26][27][28][29][25] British intelligence agencies believe it is “feasible” that the virus began with a leak from a Chinese laboratory.[30 "
“By taking only publicly available, scientific evidence about SARS-CoV-2 and using highly conservative estimates in my analysis, I nonetheless conclude that it is beyond a reasonable doubt that SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a laboratory. The additional evidence of what appears to be adenovirus vaccine genetic sequences in specimens from five patients from December 2019 and sequenced by the Wuhan Institute of Virology requires an explanation. You would see this kind of data in a vaccine challenge trial, for example. Hopefully the WHO team can get answers to these questions.”
“NEWLY RELEASED DOCUMENTS provide details of U.S.-funded research on several types of coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. The Intercept has obtained more than 900 pages of documents detailing the work of EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based health organization that used federal money to fund bat coronavirus research at the Chinese laboratory. The trove of documents includes two previously unpublished grant proposals that were funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as well as project updates relating to EcoHealth Alliance’s research. The documents contain several critical details about the research in Wuhan, including the fact that key experimental work with humanized mice was conducted at a biosafety level 3 lab at Wuhan University Center for Animal Experiment — and not at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as was previously assumed. The documents raise additional questions about the theory that the pandemic may have begun in a lab accident, an idea that Daszak has aggressively dismissed.”
Center for Disease Control 2017 “Ten years ago, when the 2007 strategy was being developed, the evidence for the use of NPIs during influenza pandemics was limited, consisting primarily of historical analyses and contemporary observations rather than controlled scientific studies... modeling studies that used historical data to evaluate NPI use in U.S. cities during the 1918 pandemic or that simulated pandemic scenarios as they might occur in the future generally supported the effectiveness of early, targeted, and phased-in (layered) use of multiple NPIs in preventing spread of disease, especially when used in combination with antiviral medications. This conclusion seemed plausible. However, the NPI modeling studies had substantial limitations, including lack of data supporting assumptions about the effectiveness of individual NPIs, economic and social costs of NPIs, and likely rates of compliance
Use of Face Masks in Community Settings “Face masks (disposable surgical, medical, or dental procedure masks) are widely used by health care workers to prevent respiratory infections both in health care workers and patients. They also might be worn by ill persons during severe, very severe, or extreme pandemics to prevent spread of influenza to household members and others in the community. However, little evidence supports the use of face masks by well persons in community settings, although some trials conducted during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic found that early combined use of face masks and other NPIs (such as hand hygiene) might be effective. Use of face masks by well persons: CDC does not routinely recommend the use of face masks by well persons in the home or other community settings as a means of avoiding infection during influenza pandemics except under special, high-risk circumstances
School closures and dismissals: “CDC might recommend the use of preemptive, coordinated school closures and dismissals during severe, very severe, or extreme influenza pandemics. This recommendation is in accord with the conclusions of the U.S. Community Preventive Services Task Force. The task force found insufficient evidence to recommend for or against preemptive, coordinated school dismissals during a mild or moderate influenza pandemic. In these instances, jurisdictions should make decisions that balance local benefits and potential harms.
“Social distancing measures: Even though the evidence base for the effectiveness of some of these measures is limited, CDC might recommend the simultaneous use of multiple social distancing measures to help reduce the spread of influenza in community settings (e.g., schools, workplaces, and mass gatherings) during severe, very severe, or extreme influenza pandemics while minimizing the secondary consequences of the measures. Social distancing measures include the following: Increasing the distance to at least 3 feet (98) between persons when possible might reduce person-to person transmission. This applies to apparently healthy persons without symptoms. In the event of a very severe or extreme pandemic, this recommended minimal distance between people might be increased.
“Although progress has been made since 2009 toward building the evidence base for use of NPIs to slow the spread of pandemic influenza, additional research is needed. Knowledge gaps remain and should be addressed by future research. Further updates of these guidelines will be developed and issued when significant new information and evidence emerges about the effectiveness and feasibility of NPIs in mitigating the impact of pandemic influenza.”
Pandemic Panic: Writing from Inside. “For all their Plandemic Planning, the World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control and official ’public health experts’ have not provided consistent advice to governments and citizens alike. They blame their wavering vacillations on the fever of a “novel” infectious disease, very deadly and highly contagious, with a steeper learning curve than Farr’s Law. Their message about masks has gone from blase´ to mandatory, with no evidence to support either stance. WHO explained on Jan. 29th, ‘Wearing medical masks when not indicated may cause unnecessary cost, procurement burden and create a false sense of security. Wearing a mask incorrectly may hamper its effectiveness to reduce the risk of transmission.’
“Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Pasha of Pandemics told 60 Minutes on March 8, ‘There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.’ The CDC and WHO were in lockstep concerning face masks for civilians then. WHO still reserves mask ‘recommendations’ for people with minor symptoms who need to leave their house. Then the CDC flipped in April, demanding ‘cloth face coverings in public where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain’ for everyone over the age of two.
“Their original advice was spun as reserving scarce face masks for medical responders and COVID-19 coughers, plus ignorance about asymptomatic spreaders. But Fauci had insisted, ‘Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think it is. And, people keep fiddling with the mask and touching their face.’ The New England Journal of Medicine editorial agreed, ’A mask will not protect providers caring for a patient with active Covid-19 if it’s not accompanied by meticulous hand hygiene, eye protection, gloves, and a gown. Wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. The desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic. Masks are talismans that may help increase perceived sense of safety.’”
“this is a survey across every political and scientific spectrum. Before Covid, the CDC, WHO, NIAID and medical journals all agreed that masks, shelter in place, school closures, small business and public space lockdowns were ineffective at preventing spread of infectious diseases and harmful to health, economy and society. Many poor nations and Asian countries that did not follow China’s example of welding people into their apartments had far fewer deaths and severe cases than the U.S. and European nations. The U.S. had the world’s highest death rate per population, so perhaps it was medical treatment and the many chronic illnesses Americans already suffered from. California and Florida are statistically similar in death rates among age cohorts. Both states have lower levels of obesity (at least on the coasts) than the south or midwest.
“Sadly, our children will bear the catastrophic consequences and not just educationally, of the deeply flawed school closure policy for decades to come (particularly our minority children who were least able to afford this). Many are still pressured to wear masks and punished for not doing so. I present the masking ‘body of evidence’ below (n=167 studies and pieces of evidence), comprised of comparative effectiveness research as well as related evidence and high-level reporting. To date, the evidence has been stable and clear that masks do not work to control the virus and they can be harmful and especially to children.”
mask studies: “Children throughout the US have been kept out of classrooms through most of 2020, and ill patients have been kept away from medical treatment. It was widely hoped this would work. However, outside of the US, it was found that mortality actually increased steeply closely following lockdowns.3 Also, it was found that in Europe, ‘no lives were saved’ by lockdown.4 In an early analysis in the US also, it was not found that lives were saved by shutdown.5
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on March 15 removed from its data tracker website tens of thousands of deaths linked to COVID-19, including nearly a quarter of the deaths the agency said had occurred among children. In a statement to Reuters, the CDC said it made adjustments to the mortality data because the website’s algorithm was ‘accidentally counting deaths that were not COVID-19-related.’ ‘Data on deaths were adjusted after resolving a coding logic error,’ the CDC’s website states. ‘This resulted in decreased death counts across all demographic categories.’
“Dr. Meryl Nass, physician and member of the Children’s Health Defense scientific advisory committee explained: ‘CDC is not a public health agency. It is a public propaganda agency that collects a massive amount of data. CDC marshals its huge data library to create presentations that support the current administration’s public health policies. CDC also has state-of-the-art PR staff, as well as TV studios, and produces videos, radio spots and an enormous number of press releases that are distributed to the media. CDC hosts many journalists at its Atlanta headquarters. Free junkets successfully cultivate U.S. health reporters.’
“Quoting a 2007 Senate oversight report on the CDC, Nass said the agency spends ‘millions of tax dollars for failed prevention efforts, international junkets and lavish facilities, but cannot demonstrate it is controlling disease.’”
“In public, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins urge Americans to ‘follow the science.’ In private, the two sainted public-health officials schemed to quash dissenting views from top scientists. That’s the troubling but fair conclusion from emails obtained recently via the Freedom of Information Act by the American Institute for Economic Research.
Dr. Mercola quote, behind paywall. “Health Feedback was established as part of the Vaccine Safety Net — a ‘global network of websites, created by the World Health Organization, that provides reliable information on vaccine safety.’ It also belongs to the International Fact-Checking Network, founded by the Poynter Institute and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, Facebook, the Omidyar Network and George Soros-owned nongovernmental organizations such as the National Endowment for Democracy and Open Society Foundation. To date, Health Feedback has not issued a correction to its fact-check reflecting the CDC’s new mortality data.”
“Delta infection resulted in similarly high SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated people. High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus. This finding is concerning and was a pivotal discovery leading to CDC’supdated mask recommendation. The masking recommendation was updated to ensure the vaccinated public would not unknowingly transmit virus to others, including their unvaccinated or immunocompromised loved ones.”
“More Americans ages 13-24 say the coronavirus pandemic has hindered their goals and social lives than Millennialsand members of Generation X. About 46% in the Gen Z age group said COVID-19 has made it difficult to pursue their education and career goals, as compared with 36% of Millennials and 31% of Gen X. What’s more, about 45% of Gen Z respondents said it was difficult to maintain good relationships with friends, as compared with 41% of Millennialsand 39% of Gen X. About 40% of Gen Z also said romantic relationships had become more difficult, as compared with 32% of Millennials and 33% of Gen X.
“All age groups reported a hard time with maintaining mental health, including 49% of Gen Z, 47% of Millennials, and 48% of Gen X. But for the younger age group, about half report that the pandemic has made it harder to have fun and be happy overall. Overall, 35% of Gen Z frequently experiences stress and another 46% report experiencing it sometimes.
“Internationally in this age group, employment options dwindled at more than twice the rate of older generations, according to the International Labour Organization in Switzerland. In fact, ‘though the number of young unemployed has remained essentially unchanged between 2019 and 2020 worldwide, this is only because many young people without a job stopped looking for one or have delayed their entry into the [labor] market,’ the organization wrote in a report on world employment trends earlier this year.”
“The overall proportion of reported children’s ED visits for mental health-related concerns increased and remained higher through the end of the reporting period in 2020 than that in 2019. The proportion of mental health–related ED visits among children increased 66%, from 1,094 per 100,000 during April 14–21, 2019 to 1,820 per 100,000 during April 12–18, 2020.
“Adolescents aged 12–17 years accounted for the largest proportion of children’s mental health–related ED visits during 2019 and 2020. During weeks 12–42, 2020, the proportion of mental health–related visits for children aged 5–11 years and adolescents aged 12–17 years increased approximately 24% and 31%, respectively compared with those in 2019; the proportion of mental health–related visits for children aged 0–4 years remained similar in 2020. The highest weekly proportion of mental health–related ED visits occurred during October for children aged 5–11 years (week 42; 1,177 per 100,000) and during April (week 16) for adolescents aged 12–17 years (4,758 per 100,000).
“A Harvard study has found that more and more young people are showing symptoms of severe depression and having suicidal thoughts. In the US adult population as a whole, the incidence of suicidal ideation typically hovers around 3.4 percent. But this new study reveals that in October, 36.9 percent of young adults had suicidal thoughts, compared to 32.2 percent in May in the wake of the first round of government lockdowns.
“Children have had most of their social ties cut from under them. This means that they a higher risk of developing mental health issues now and also in the future. They, therefore, stand to be the most severely impacted, now and in the long term.”
“Young people who are lonely might be as much as three times more likely to develop depression in the future, and that the impact of loneliness on mental health could last for at least 9 years. The studies highlight an association between loneliness and an increased risk of mental health problems for young people. There is also evidence that duration of loneliness may be more important than the intensity of loneliness in increasing the risk of future depression among young people.
“For our youngest and their return to school, we need to prioritise the importance of play in helping them to reconnect with friends and adjust following this intense period of isolation. The easing of lockdown restrictions should be done in a way that provides all children with the time and opportunity to play with peers, in and outside of school, and even while social distancing measures remain in place.” Cage dodgeball may be the only game they can play.
“2020 has been a rough year for everyone, but teens and young adults are among those hit hardest by mental health concerns. A recent CDC report of 5,400 people found that 25% of respondents between the age of 18-24 had contemplated suicide in the previous 30 days. A recent survey found that 80% of students have experienced some negative impact to their mental health due to the pandemic. 20% say their mental health has significantly worsened. This is part of a larger trend showing an increase in depression and anxiety among young people in recent years.”
“COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown has brought about a sense of fear and anxiety around the globe. This phenomenon has led to short term as well as long term psychosocial and mental health implications for children and adolescents. The quality and magnitude of impact on minors is determined by many vulnerability factors like developmental age, educational status, pre-existing mental health condition, being economically underprivileged or being quarantined due to infection or fear of infection.”
“One of the principal measures taken during lockdown has been closure of schools, educational institutes and activity areas. These inexorable circumstances which are beyond normal experience, lead to stress, anxiety and a feeling of helplessness in all. It has been indicated that compared to adults, this pandemic may continue to have increased long term adverse consequences on children and adolescents. The nature and extent of impact on this age group depend on many vulnerability factors such as the developmental age, current educational status, having special needs, pre-existingmental health condition, being economically under privileged and child/ parent being quarantined due to infection or fear of infection.”
School Wasn’t So Great Before Covid, Either; Yes remote schooling has been a misery-but it’s offering a rare chance to rethink early education entirely., Erika Christakis, The Atlantic, December 2020), “Surveys showed students reported feeling less happy while at school than in any other location… Another large study found that emergency psychiatric visits more than doubled when school was in session compared with during the summer … [the opposite pattern to adult suicides which peak in summer] Elementary school students levels of the stress hormone cortisol became elevated during the school year. Peter Gray, a psychology professor … says that if school were a drug, it would not receive FDA approval.’ [That’s debatable, considering the economic power of schools and the FDA’s supine stance against approval of harmful drugs.]”
“The World Health Organization released data that demonstrated that 55% of adults in the United States reported that COVID-19 lockdowns had a negative effect on their mental health (World Health Organization, 2020). This data indicates the negative impact of lockdowns on mental well-being and allows suggestions to be made about the disproportionate impact it may have on the elderly, who depend greatly on out-of-home interactions to thrive socially.
“Lockdown led to a significant increase in feelings of depression, anxiety, negative mood changes (e.g., anger, fatigue, and confusion), and a reduction in sleep quality compared to pre-lockdown. The follow-up showed that mental well-being, depression, and disturbances in mood were still badly affected post-lockdown.”
“Deaths of despair defined as ‘mortality resulting from suicide, drug overdose, and alcohol-related liver disease’ are increasingly problematic – COVID-19 enhanced that despair. Easy access to handguns, alcohol, opioids, prescribed, diverted, or illicit increases the likelihood of these despairs. Despair makes no racial or gender distinctions, nor is it solely the problem of the urban centers or rural areas. [factors fueling DoD] Financial distress, Lack of infrastructure and access to fundamental services, Deteriorating sense of community, a decline in civic trust! ,Dysfunction and fragmentation in family life.”
“Some have worried that ‘the cure is worse than the disease.’ Economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton mocked this as a ‘pet theory about the fatal dangers of quarantine.’ They concluded in the summer of 2020 that ‘a wave of deaths of despair is highly unlikely.’ However, by examining CDC data Mulligan points out that there have been around 30,000 excess deaths that are completely unrelated to Covid-19. Elderly individuals have seen a decrease in non-Covid-related excess deaths and bear the large share of Covid deaths.
“The interesting point is that excess deaths for working-age people has also been increasing but Covid-19 is not the reason. If Covid isn’t killing younger people then the only other major explanation would be deaths of despair. Deaths caused by suicides and drug abuse due to the life-crushing effects of lockdowns. When you force the entire country into social isolation and upend people’s lives, people tend to get emotionally distraught. That’s why younger people are dying at higher rates than usual. "
“During the pandemic, moderate-to-severe anxiety among adults jumped to 37.3 percent, up from 6.1 percent in 2019. Moderate-to-severe depression hit 30.2 percent, four times higher than prior to the pandemic. Our greatest concern is anxiety among young adults. During the pandemic, 43.5 percent reported moderate to severe anxiety.
“Income is a key indicator of mental health. Households with income less than $25,000 are 20.1 percentage points more likely to report moderate to severe anxiety than a household with income that is $200,000 or more.
“The federal government over the past year has led a vigorous policy response to the damage that the pandemic has wrought on the economy and the physical health of the nation, authorizing over $3.1 trillion in relief and recovery support. However, there has not been enough done at the federal level to address what is frequently triggered by exposure to these unprecedented levels of social isolation, job loss, illness, and death: anxiety and depression.”
“Eating Disorders Among Teen Girls Doubled During Pandemic, CDC Study Shows: Emergency room visits for eating disorders among 12- to 17-year-old girls doubled during the coronavirus pandemic, according to new research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — a troubling existing trend that was likely worsened by the stress of living through the prolonged crisis.
“Among teen girls, aged 12 to 17, ER visits for eating disorders and tic disorders increased in both 2020 and 2021. There were also more visits for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder among teen girls in 2021.There were also increases in ER visits related to behavioral health conditions among children 5 to 17, including self-harm, drug poisonings, socioeconomic and psychosocial concerns, and — among adolescents only — symptoms of mental health conditions and substance use.”
“These ‘public health’ measures were mostly cooked up in 2006 by the teen age daughter of a government computer guy. ‘The primary author of this paper was Robert J. Glass, a complex-systems analyst with Sandia National Laboratories. He had no medical training, much less an expertise in immunology or epidemiology.’
“Canadian economist Douglas Ward Allen, the Burnaby Mountain Professor of Economics at Simon Fraser University, suggests the ineffectiveness of lockdowns may stem primarily from voluntary changes in behavior. ‘The limited effectiveness of lockdowns explains why, after one year, the unconditional cumulative deaths per million, and the pattern of daily deaths per million, is not negatively correlated with the stringency of lockdown across countries.”
“The use of universal lockdowns in the event of the appearance of a new pathogen has no precedent. It has been a science experiment in real time, with most of the human population used as lab rats. The costs are legion. The question is whether lockdowns worked to control the virus in a way that is scientifically verifiable. Based on the following studies, the answer is no and for a variety of reasons: bad data, no correlations, no causal demonstration, anomalous exceptions, and so on. There is no relationship between lockdowns and virus control’, [infections, hospitalizations or deaths].
“Of course this was all predictable, and yet, the lockdown steamroller could not be slowed, or diverted, even for children at very low risk of serious complications or deaths from the novel coronovirus and its greek variants. These disastrous public health results from ‘public health guidelines’ were predicted, both by elite oligarchs and social health researchers. Some would say they were deliberately imposed to achieve negative outcomes, others accept herd mentality over herd immunity ruled over rational approaches and reasoned resistance to tyrannical authority.
“The number of deaths that mention one or more of the conditions indicated is shown for all deaths involving COVID-19 and by age groups. For over 5% of these deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 4.0 additional conditions or causes per death. For data on deaths involving COVID-19 by time-period, jurisdiction, and other health conditions.”
“Acetaminophen toxicity is the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide and the most common cause of liver transplantation in the US. It is responsible for 56,000 emergency department visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and 500 deaths per year in the United States. Fifty percent of these are unintentional overdoses. More than 60 million Americans consume acetaminophen on a weekly basis, and many are unaware that it is contained in combined products.”
https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210716/large-remdesivir-study-finds-no-covid-19-survival-benefit
“Large Remdesivir Study Finds No COVID-19 Survival Benefit, July 16, 2021 — A lack of consensus regarding the antiviral drug remdesivir to treat people with COVID-19 continues, leaving doctors without clear direction on one of the few treatments for the illness the FDA has granted emergency use authorization.
The latest research comes from Michael Ohl, MD, and colleagues who studied a large group of Veterans Administration patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Compared with a matched group of veterans who did not receive the antiviral, remdesivir did not significantly improve survival rates
The percentages were close: 12.2% of patients in the remdesivir group died within 30 days compared to 10.6% of those in the control group. At the same time, the study showed remdesivir led to more days in the hospital.”
“Other drugs: There are lots of other supplements and drugs that have convincing data. Most all these drugs have a very low side effect profile and so anything where the green line is solely to the left of the vertical bar is highly likely to be helpful. However, NIH doesn’t recommend any of them being used except for Molnupiravir, Paxlovid, and Remdesivir.
“Even as hospitals and governors raise the alarm about a shortage of ventilators, some critical care physicians are questioning the widespread use of the breathing machines for Covid-19 patients, saying that large numbers of patients could instead be treated with less intensive respiratory support.”
“If the iconoclasts are right, putting coronavirus patients on ventilators could be of little benefit to many and even harmful to some. In this case series that included 5700 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the New York City area, the most common comorbidities were hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. Among patients who were discharged or died (n = 2634), 14.2% were treated in the intensive care unit, 12.2% received invasive mechanical ventilation, 3.2% were treated with kidney replacement therapy, and 21% died. According to the correction in JAMA, of those who required ventilation, 72.2% “remained in hospital” at the end of the study period.
“Some doctors are trying to reduce their reliance on ventilators for coronavirus patients because of reports of abnormally high death rates for patients using the machines, The Associated Press reported on Wednesday. New York City officials have said at least 80% of coronavirus patients who were on ventilators in the city died, the AP reported. Unusually high death rates have also been recorded elsewhere in the US and the world. Ventilators are typically used only for the worst-affected patients, and there are no drugs approved to treat COVID-19, so this could help explain the higher death rate. But doctors have also said ventilators can damage the lungs — and while the machines may be an effective way to treat other respiratory illnesses, some are looking for alternative treatments.”
“including UK data, which reportedly found 66% of ventilated COVID patients died, and a small study in Wuhan, where 86% of ventilated patients died. Both of those studies were referenced by The Associated Press in April 2020. ABC News also reported in April 2020 that ‘only a third of patients placed on a ventilator survive the experience,’ noting that ‘some experts are wondering if ventilators could be contributing to the poor survival rate and whether ventilators are being overused.’
“Despite that, putting COVID patients on mechanical ventilation is ‘standard of care’ for COVID across the U.S. to this day. Ventilator use remains widespread, for no apparent reason, [except] that it’s standard for Medicare, the U.S. government’s national health insurance program, to pay roughly three times more for patients who go on ventilators, and due to a federal stimulus law, Medicare was paying 20% more for the treatment of COVID-19 patients,”
“The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which administers Medicare, provides add-on payment for COVID-19 treatments approved and authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This includes remdesivir, which Mercola singled out, but also COVID-19 convalescent plasma, baricitinib, molnupiravir and Paxlovid.”
“What we had was a ‘casedemic’ — an epidemic of false positives. And if a majority of ‘cases’ are false positives, then most ‘COVID deaths’ were likely not due to actual COVID infection either. Many scientists have noted that anything over 35 cycles is scientifically indefensible. A Sept. 28, 2020, study in Clinical Infectious Diseases revealed that when you run a PCR test at a CT of 35 or higher, the accuracy drops to 3%, resulting in a 97% false positive rate.
“Fatal errors have also been found in the paper on which PCR testing for COVID is based. Consider the criteria for determining whether an RT-PCR test result is positive for SARS-CoV-2. The CDC instruction (until 1 May 2021) specifies running the RT-PCR tests for 45 amplification cycles. a specimen is considered positive for SARS-CoV-2 if all SARS-CoV-2 marker (N1, N2) cycle threshold growth curves cross the threshold line within 40.00 cycles (< 40.00 Ct).
“Many false positives are possible in the upper part of this cycle threshold range, especially in areas of low prevalence. In particular, virus culture has been found to be unfeasible in cases with a Ct value exceeding 33. A prospective cohort study involving the first 100 COVID-19 patients in Singapore also showed that attempts to culture the virus failed in all PCR-positive samples with a Ct value >30”
“Another study found that tests with low specificity (deriving from use of many cycles) cannot provide strong evidence for the presence of an infection. A systematic review of PCR testing concluded “Complete live viruses are necessary for transmission, not the fragments identified by PCR. Those with high cycle threshold are unlikely to have infectious potential.”
“This negative outcome of increased “breakthrough” cases motivated the CDC to change a number of reporting and test procedures and issue new regulations for identifying and investigating hospitalized or fatal vaccine breakthrough cases starting 1 May 2021, ’submit only specimens with Ct value ≤28 to CDC for sequencing. (Sequencing is not feasible with higher Ct values.)”
“In March 2020, the National Vital Statistics System even changed the way COVID deaths were to be captured on death certificates to include ‘assumed’ deaths due to COVID, and in April 2020, the CDC adopted a definition for ‘probable COVID-19 cases,’ which was based on exposure and symptoms alone. Doctors have also blown the whistle stating that they were being pressured by hospital administrators to list COVID-19 on death certificates even though it wasn’t a contributing factor. These make it far more likely that overcounting has occurred than undercounting.”
“U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield acknowledged during a House hearing Friday that COVID-19 data could be inflated because hospitals receive a monetary gain by reporting COVID-19 cases. Republican Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer of Missouri questioned Redfield during a House Oversight and Reform subcommittee hearing on coronavirus containment. He asked about the ‘perverse incentive’ for hospitals to classify deaths as being coronavirus related when the virus didn’t cause the death.
‘As long as you have COVID in your system you get to claim it as a COVID death, which means you get more money as attending physician, hospital, whatever. Would you like to comment on that, about the perverse incentive? Is there an effort to try and do something different.’ Redfield responded by telling the congressman, ‘I think you’re correct in that and we’ve seen this in other disease processes too.’”
The World Health Organisation, advised Before Covid, “if mandatory vaccination is considered necessary to interrupt transmission chains and prevent harm to others, there should be sufficient evidence that the vaccine is efficacious in preventing serious infection and/or transmission.”
“The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies four of the top five counties with the highest percentage of fully vaccinated population (99.9–84.3%) as ‘high’ transmission counties. Many decisionmakers assume that the vaccinated can be excluded as a source of transmission. It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.”
“unvaccinated people with a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection create antibodies that are more effective in the long run compared with others who were vaccinated but never infected. While the quantity of antibodies decreases with time in both COVID-19 recovered patients and vaccinated individuals, the quality of antibodies performance increases following infection but not after vaccination. ‘Previously infected patients appear to be better protected against a new infection than those who have only been vaccinated’, according to a news release attached to the research. The numbers of antibodies a month after vaccination were higher than those in the COVID-19 recovered patients. However, these numbers also declined more steeply in the vaccinated group.
“These findings stand in stark contrast to an October 29, 2021, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study that found that COVID-19 vaccines provided five times the protection of natural immunity.”
January 19, 2022: “During October 3-16, compared with hospitalization rates among unvaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, hospitalization rates were 19.8-fold lower among vaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, 55.3-fold lower among unvaccinated persons with a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, and 57.5-fold lower among vaccinated persons with a previous COVID-19 diagnosis.”
“FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research allowed the public to access data for the first time that Pfizer submitted to the FDA from its clinical trials in support of a COVID-19 “vaccine” license. Hidden in one appendix is a 38-page report of clinical data for Pfizer’s “vaccine” which lists 1,291 adverse side effects of the shot in alphabetical order.
“The list includes acute kidney injury, acute flaccid myelitis, anti-sperm antibody positive, brain stem embolism, brain stem thrombosis, cardiac arrest, cardiac failure, cardiac ventricular thrombosis, cardiogenic shock, central nervous system vasculitis, death neonatal, deep vein thrombosis, encephalitis brain stem, encephalitis hemorrhagic, frontal lobe epilepsy, foaming at mouth, epileptic psychosis, facial paralysis, fetal distress syndrome, gastrointestinal amyloidosis, generalized tonic-clonic seizure, Hashimoto’s encephalopathy, hepatic vascular thrombosis, herpes zoster reactivation, immune-mediated hepatitis, interstitial lung disease, jugular vein embolism, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, liver injury, low birth weight, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, myocarditis, neonatal seizure, pancreatitis, pneumonia, stillbirth, tachycardia, temporal lobe epilepsy, testicular autoimmunity, thrombotic cerebral infarction, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, venous thrombosis neonatal, and vertebral artery thrombosis among 1,246 other medical conditions following vaccination.
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recently admitted that it withheld critical COVID-19 data from the public because the agency thought it would be ‘misinterpreted’ and cause ‘vaccine hesitancy’ since it weakens the case for booster shots in certain demographics. Apparently, the CDC has been collecting detailed data on COVID-19 infections in the United States and organized it by age, race and vaccination status. However, the agency withheld detailed information to the public about breakthrough cases, hospitalizations and deaths, which it has been collecting since the beginning of the COVID shot rollout in 2021.
Yet, the latest data from the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System shows 1,151,450 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 24,827 deaths since Dec. 14, 2020.”
An appendix to the Pfizer covid vaccine trial document, listing over one thousand different types of adverse reactions to their injections, concluded, “The data do not reveal any novel safety concerns or risks requiring label changes and support a favorable benefit risk profile of to the BNT162b2 vaccine.”
“In March 2021, Congress appropriated $1 billion U.S. tax dollars for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to spend on activities to ‘strengthen vaccine confidence in the United States,’ with $3 billion set aside for the CDC to fund ‘support and outreach efforts’ in states through community-based organizations and trusted leaders.
“The Biden administration paid nearly the entire corporate media, including so-called ‘conservative’ media outlets, with taxpayer dollars to engage in a massive campaign to push only positive coverage about COVID shots while censoring any negative information, without disclosing it to their audiences. This is a serious breach of journalistic ethics.
“Hundreds of news organizations were paid by the federal government to advertise for the shots as part of a comprehensive media campaign by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The COVID-19 Public Education Campaign, a ‘national initiative to increase public confidence in and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines,’ [paid] ‘trusted messengers and influencers’ speak to news organizations to ‘provide factual, timely information and steps people can take to protect themselves, their families, and their communities.’
“HHS’s public education efforts were co-chaired by U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, former National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins, NAIAD director Tony Fauci, Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith, and CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky — with Vice President Kamala Harris leading the effort from the White House.
“Federal law allows HHS, acting through the CDC and other agencies, to award contracts to public and private entities to ‘carry out a national, evidence-based campaign to increase awareness and knowledge of the safety and effectiveness of vaccines for the prevention and control of diseases, combat misinformation about vaccines and disseminate scientific and evidence-based vaccine-related information, with the goal of increasing rates of vaccination across all ages … to reduce and eliminate vaccine-preventable diseases.’
“Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, ‘People have been injured and died as a result of the most extensive propaganda campaign in U.S. history and it was paid for with our taxpayer dollars. These COVID shots are neither safe nor effective. However, the American public has been given propaganda instead of truth from the news media. Sadly, most of the American corporate media has been paid off by the Biden administration to publish propaganda. The consequence is that many people have needlessly suffered as a result of the censorship and propaganda.’”
“How best can scientists push back against the AIER and GBD? There is a range of evidence-based strategies. These include: ‘Public inoculation’–warning people about the risk of being misled and drawing attention to who is pushing the contentious information and their financial competing interests; Highlighting scientific consensus; and Mapping the institutional networks who are pushing controversial information and then using political and legal strategies to counter them.
“For physicians, scientists, and public health officials to be effective countering efforts like the GBD, it will be absolutely critical for them to realize that they are not dealing with an orthodox scientific debate based on sound data and evidence, but a well-funded sophisticated science denialist campaign based on ideological and corporate interests.”

“Have you ever heard of a vaccine that is associated with seizures in 0.15% of adults who take it — let alone one that is mandated by many colleges and workplaces? About 25% of people with pre-existing auto-immune disorders, depression or anxiety reported a worsening of their symptoms following the booster. Five to ten percent of people with diabetes, hypertension, and lung & heart disease also reported a worsening of their condition.
“Nearly 10% of women under age of 54 had disruptions to their menstrual cycle after the booster (apparently they did not ask women above this age). About half of those women reported that the problems persisted at the time of a follow-up interview, which was anywhere from 10-16 weeks after vaccination. Of these, 31% sought medical treatment as a result and 9% were on medication for it.
“Notably, 39% of these women reported similar disruptions following prior doses, of whom 1/3 (which is a little over 6% of all women under the age of 54) were still experiencing symptoms at the time of the 3rd dose. Given that the vast majority of vaccinated Israelis were ‘fully vaccinated’ by the end of March and the booster campaign for that age group didn’t get into full swing until late August, this means that these women were likely experiencing these symptoms for somewhere between 4-months.
“How badly did the Israeli vaccine adverse event reporting system undercount adverse events? We can calculate an “underreporting factor” (URF). If the URF is 100, this means you have to multiply the number of reported events by 100 to approximate the true number of adverse events. The only question is — how much larger?
“The URF varies from a low of 1,700 for loss of consciousness to 48,800 for difficulty breathing. Some other highlights: a URF of 6,500 for seizures, nearly 6,000 for Bell’s Palsy, and over 4,000 for blurry or disturbed vision. Actually the URF was even higher for some milder, general AE’s and for local site reactions: 54,000 for chest pains, 230,000 for limited arm movement, and 540,000 for injection site pain.
“The underreporting in Israel is probably worse than to the US VAERS. Israel does not conform to the international classification standard for AE reporting. The US, UK and Europe use the MedDRA system. The Israeli MoH apparently decided to make up its own classification system and continues to use it, for reasons unknown. Based on v-safe data, the CDC reported an overall hospitalization rate within a week of the first dose of 0.1%, which was also the rate for people who received a booster and primary series all from Pfizer only.
“Overall, 28% were unable to perform normal daily activities, or 22% of the ‘Pfizer only’ group (this compares to 29% in the MoH survey). 1.2% of v-safe respondents developed a non-injection site rash (1.9% of ‘Pfizer only’) vs. 2% in the MoH survey. Other results from v-safe are also quite similar to the MoH survey, and overall the similarities lend credibility to the validity of the survey results. But the report is very light on details about specific adverse events.
“We can compare ‘systemic’ reactions to the MoH’s ‘general reactions’ where we see the CDC reporting 58.4% among ‘Pfizer only’ vs. 48.6% in the MoH survey. These numbers are 64.3% vs. 55.7% for local injection-site reactions. Beyond that, we can glean that 0.9% of Pfizer-only recipients sought medical care following the booster dose, but we don’t know what the rate of hospitalization was. Note that the CDC has resisted FOIA requests for more detailed breakdowns of the v-safe data, though it is known that they possess the requested information.”

“MID- AND LONG-TERM ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM PRIOR VACCINES: A 2020 study emphasizing mid- and long-term adverse effects from prior vaccines [4] identified the following sixteen mid- and longer-term potential issues concerning vaccines. These include: Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (where enhanced virus entry and replication in a number of cell types is enabled by antibodies); Intrinsic Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (where non-neutralizing antibodies raised by natural infection with one virus may enhance infection with a different virus); Immune Enhancement (enhancement of secondary infections via immune interactions); Cross-Reactivity (an antibody raised against one specific antigen has a competing high affinity toward a different antigen.); Cross-Infection Enhancement (infection enhancement of one virus by antibodies from another virus);
“ Vaccine-Associated Virus Interference (where vaccinated individuals may be at increased risk for other respiratory viruses because they do not receive the non-specific immunity associated with natural infection); Vaccine-Associated Imprinting Reduction (where vaccinations could also reduce the benefits of ‘imprinting’, a protection conferred upon children who experienced infection at an early age); Non-Specific Vaccine Effects on Immune System (where previous infections can alter an individual’s susceptibility to unrelated diseases); Impact of Infection Route on Immune System (where immune protection can be influenced by the route of exposure/delivery); Impact of Combinations of Toxic Stimuli (where people are exposed over their lifetime to myriad toxic stimuli that may impact the influence of any vaccine); Antigenic Distance Hypothesis (negative interference from prior season’s influenza vaccine (v1) on the current season’s vaccine (v2) protection may occur when the antigenic distance is small between v1 and v2 (v1 ≈ v2) but large between v1 and the current epidemic; Bystander Activation (activation of T cells specific for an antigen X during an immune response against antigen Y); Gut Microbiota (Impact of gut microbial composition on vaccine response); Homologous Challenge Infection Enhancement (the strain of challenge virus used in the testing assay is very closely related to the seed virus strain used to produce the vaccine that a subject received); Immune Evasion (evasion of host response to viral infection); Immune Interference (interference from circulating antibody to the vaccine virus); Original Antigenic Sin (propensity of the body’s immune system to preferentially utilize immunological memory based on a previous infection when a second slightly different version of that foreign entity (e.g. a virus or bacterium) is encountered.); Prior Influenza Infection/Vaccination (effects of prior influenza infection/vaccination on severity of future disease symptoms); Timing between Viral Exposures (elapsed time between viral exposures); Vaccine-Associated Enhanced Respiratory Disease (where vaccination enhances respiratory disease); andChronic Immune Activation (continuous innate immune responses).
“Most of these events are not predictable, and most, if not all, would be possible for the COVID-19 inoculant in the mid- and long-term for adults and children. The biomedical literature is very sparse with studies on long-term vaccine effects, especially long-term adverse effects. Large numbers of people and long periods of time are required to identify such adverse events, and draw statistically-valid connections between vaccinations and disease. These efforts would be very resource-intensive, and there appears to be little motivation among the vaccine producers and regulators to make these resources available for such studies. Thus, the following examples reflect the extremely small tip of an extremely large iceberg of long-term adverse vaccine effects.” [4]
“The two main categories of diseases reported in the biomedical literature triggered by past vaccinations are “Autoimmune (e.g., Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Psoriasis, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Hepatitis, Uveitis, Pseudolymphoma, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Thrombocytopenic Purpura, etc.) and Neurological (e.g., Central Demyelinating Diseases, Developmental Disability, Febrile seizures, Narcolepsy, Encephalomyelitis, Autonomic Dysfunction, etc.). Others include Diabetes, Gastrointestinal, Joint-related, Necrobiotic Granuloma, Neutropenia, Pulmonary Fibrosis, etc.” Infrequently reported post-vaccination autoimmune diseases include systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory myopathies, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and vasculitis.
“Most of the extra cases of IDDM appeared in statistically significant clusters that occurred in periods starting approximately 38 months after immunization and lasting approximately 6–8 months. Immunization with pediatric vaccines increased the risk of insulin diabetes in NOD mice.Exposure to HiB immunization is associated with an increased risk of IDDM.” [4 ]Even the sparse past vaccine studies that went beyond the short-term showed latency effects of serious diseases occurring three years or more post-vaccination.
“A future COVID-19 vaccine appears to be the treatment of choice at the national/international level. Vaccine development has been accelerated to achieve this goal in the relatively near-term, and questions have arisen whether vaccine safety has been/is being/will be compromised in pursuit of a shortened vaccine development time.”

“The statistically significant and overwhelmingly positive causal impact after vaccine deployment on the dependent variables total deaths and total cases per million should be highly worrisome for policy makers. They indicate a marked increase in both COVID-19 related cases and death due directly to a vaccine deployment that was originally sold to the public as the ‘key to gain back our freedoms.’The effect of vaccines on total cases per million and its low positive association with total vaccinations per hundred signifies a limited impact of vaccines on lowering COVID-19associated cases.
“These results should encourage local policy makers to make policy decisions based on data, not narrative, and based on local conditions, not global or national mandates. These results should also encourage policy makers to begin looking for other avenues out of the pandemic aside from mass vaccination campaigns.”
“The first study, a pre-print that was released on MedRXiv by a team of researchers in Denmark, [“page not found” for this link, instead article on ivermectin] shows that the experimental vaccines provide absolutely zero protection against Omicron beginning two months after vaccination (which they refer to as ‘peak’ protection).
“After just three months, fully vaccinated individuals begin to experience sharp negative protection. Researchers found that those who received the Pfizer vaccine were an astounding 76.5% more likely to have a breakthrough infection than their unvaccinated counterparts once 90 days had passed – those who received Moderna’s were 39.3% more likely.
“According to the study, the spread of the new Omicron variant was ‘likely’ caused by ‘super-spreader events among young, vaccinated individuals. Only those who had taken a complete two-dose vaccination or a two-dose vaccination and a booster were counted as vaccinated in the study.
“the most recent data from the CDC shows that U.S. millennials, aged 25-44, experienced a record-setting 84% increase in excess mortality during the final four months of 2021, according to the analysis of financial expert and Blackrock whistleblower, Edward Dowd.”
89% increase in mortality among 18-45 yo in one year.
“Dowd, with the assistance of an unnamed ‘insurance industry expert,’ compiled data from the CDC showing that, in just the second half of 2021, the total number of excess deaths for millennials was higher than the number of Americans who died in the entirety of the Vietnam War. Between August and December, there were over 61,000 deaths in this age group, compared to 58,000 over the course of 10 years in Vietnam.
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is listing people who die from the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) as unvaccinated if they die within 14 days of getting the second vaccine dose. Mainstream media outlets have published multiple articles that supposedly prove that unvaccinated Americans make up the vast majority of recent COVID-19 cases. One article from Yahoo Finance even claims that the unvaccinated population of Los Angeles is 29 times more likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19.
“This report cites the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, published on Tuesday, Aug. 24. The report provides people with the CDC’s definitions for ‘fully vaccinated,’ ‘partially vaccinated’ and ‘unvaccinated.’ According to the chart, a person is only considered fully vaccinated if 14 days have passed since that person’s second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
“This means if someone was hospitalized, admitted to ICU, required mechanical ventilation or died within two weeks of getting the jab they are being counted as ‘unvaccinated,’” wrote Kelen McBreen for InfoWars.”
“89% of Covid-19 Deaths among the Fully Vaccinated – Latest Public Health Data proves this is a ‘Pandemic of the Fully Vaccinated’ and suggests the Vaccinated are more likely to die. As things stand there were 28,711 Covid-19 cases among the unvaccinated population between Oct 23rd and Nov 19th, with projections showing cases could increase to a cumulative total of approximately 60,000 by Dec 17th among the unvaccinated.
“But there are far more cases among the vaccinated population, with 50,222 cases being recorded between Oct 23rd and Nov 19th, and projections show cases could rise to a cumulative total of approximately 105,000 by Dec 17th.”
“I updated this a week ago and added what I believe to be a useful metric, the number of people currently in the 2 week ‘worry window’ post vaccination where there has been well demonstrated immuno-suppression, enhanced covid susceptibility, and where we’ve seen many stories of very rapid illness, hospitalization, and death this (and many vaccine deaths called ‘covid deaths’)”
“Everything about COVID, particularly the PR campaigns for the vaccines screamed to me that something very bad was in the works. Many of us watched as everything was coordinated to create a once in a lifetime opportunity, step by step, to push through a variety of otherwise unacceptable medical experiments and practices. As mRNA technology likely represents a potential multi-trillion-dollar source of revenue and the pharmaceutical industry is desperate for innovations (it is getting very difficult to develop new traditional drugs), bringing mRNA to market seemed a likely goal of Operation Warp Speed.”
“Reports of neurological problems are increasing for the clinical presentation of COVID- 19. The clinical presentation reported in this study seemed to be a combination of nonspecific complications of the systemic disease, inflammation of the cerebrovascular system, and the effects of a direct viral infection. Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, a spongiformencephalopathy caused by prions, is characterized by a severe neurological destruction, which has an extremely high mortality. In this publication, we presented a patient who was admitted to the Pamukkale University Anesthesiology Intensive Care Units with the neurological findings that developed after the COVID-19 vaccine.”
“Gregory Poland, MD, director of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group in Rochester, Minnesota, remains a steadfast vaccination advocate — even though he developed tinnitus soon after receiving his second dose of COVID vaccine. A little more than a year ago, Poland was driving back from the hospital after receiving his second shot when he nearly veered out of his lane. ‘It was like someone suddenly blew a dog whistle in my ear, Poland told MedPageToday. ‘It has been pretty much unrelenting.’ Since then, Poland said he has been experiencing what he describes as life-altering tinnitus, or ringing in the ear. It occurs in both ears, but is worse in the left than in the right.
“He remains steadfast that opting to receive his booster — after which his tinnitus briefly disappeared but then returned at a slightly higher pitch that made it just a bit less bothersome — was the right move. After all, it would be ‘way too ironic’ for a prominent vaccinologist to die of COVID, he said. He also worried about the possibility of contracting COVID and spreading it to his patients.
“Yet Poland realizes his life may never be the same, and that many others may be grappling with the same reality. He continues to receive emails from other individuals across the country and around the world who say they have also developed tinnitus after COVID vaccination. Poland believes there may be tens of thousands of people affected in the U.S. and potentially millions worldwide. He feels strongly that more research should be done to determine what caused these symptoms and what can be done to help people desperate for relief.
“And in a recent Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) analysis reported in the Annals of Neurology, tinnitus was among the most commonly reported adverse neurological events following vaccination. But its authors noted that rates of neurological adverse events were far higher following SARS-CoV-2 infection than after vaccination.
“‘Temporality is not causality,” Poland said. ‘Rather, it forms a hypothesis, and then what you do is carefully collect information to determine [whether] this potential syndrome or side effect [is] above and beyond the background rate before there was COVID or a COVID vaccine, and is the rate different in people who got the vaccine and people who didn’t.’ For Poland, he believes that ongoing transparency is essential to continuing to build trust and confidence in vaccines.
“Dr. Madhava Setty, senior science editor for The Defender added: ‘The spike protein has been implicated as the cause of many ailments following both vaccination and COVID-19, from myocarditis to clotting disorders. We cannot know which is more dangerous, the virus or the vaccine, if we do not have a large number of unvaccinated people to observe.”
“The American Tinnitus Association reports that:‘Tinnitus is a reported symptom of the following medical conditions: Metabolic Disorders: Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism, Anemia; Autoimmune Disorders: Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia; Blood Vessel Disorders: High Blood Pressure, Atherosclerosis; Psychiatric Disorders: Depression, Anxiety, Stress; Vestibular Disorders: Ménière’s Disease,Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Otosclerosis; Tumor-Related Disorders (very rare): Acoustic Neuroma, Vestibular Schwannoma, other tumorous growths”
“The FDA/CDC listed these possible adverse events [page not linked to now] from the covid vaccines in Oct, 2020. Guillain-Barré syndrome, Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, Transverse myelitis, Encephalitis/myelitis/encephalomyelitis/ meningoencephalitis/meningitis/, encepholapathy, Convulsions/seizures, Stroke, Narcolepsy and cataplexy, Anaphylaxis, Acute myocardial infarction, Myocarditis/pericarditis, Autoimmune disease.
“Pregnancy and birth outcomes, Other acute demyelinating diseases, Non-anaphylactic allergic reactions, Thrombocytopenia, Disseminated intravascular coagulation, Venous thromboembolism, Arthritis and arthralgia/joint pain, Kawasaki disease, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome, Vaccine enhanced disease.”
“President Joe Biden: Told the public the vaccines were safe and effective even though the data said the opposite. Wore ineffective face masks in order to mislead the public into thinking these masks could protect them. Refused to meet with any qualified scientist or doctor with opposing viewpoints before and after mandating the vaccines. Deliberately refuses to meet with scientists with opposing viewpoints so continues to spread misinformation today. He tried to scare the unvaccinated by claiming the unvaccinated would experience a winter of severe illness and death. Continues to erode public trust in the office of the President with approval ratings that are at all time lows:
“CDC Director Rochelle Walensky: Told people the vaccines are safe and effective and that masks work. Withheld information about early treatment protocols.
“NIAID Director Anthony Fauci: Funded the virus, covered it up, knowingly spread misinformation about the source of the virus, lied about it all in Congress when questioned by Senator Rand Paul, and told Cliff Lane to not approve any early treatments in the Guidelines.
“US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy: Told people the vaccines are safe and effective and that masks work and said nothing about effective early treatment protocols. Compounded the error by labeling people trying to spread life-saving information as ‘disinformation’ spreaders.
“Bill Gates: Funded the misinformation campaigns (the fact checkers) including GAVI.
“FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock: Said she would investigate the Maddie de Garay case that proved fraud in the Pfizer trial and then did nothing. The FDA also denied the EUA application on fluvoxamine, a drug later proven to reduce mortality by 12X in a large Phase 3 trial.
“COVID-19 Guidelines Chairman Cliff Lane: Discredited every single working COVID early treatment including fluvoxamine which has a 12X reduction in fatalities. Ignored all COVID-19 early treatments that work.
“Tom Shimabukuro (CDC vaccine expert): Never mentioned the VAERS URF which underplayed the danger of the vaccines by at least 41x and deliberately misled people about causality and VAERS by claiming you can’t determine causality. Ignored all the safety signals in VAERS on all but a few symptoms. Ignored the death safety signal. Ignored every safety signal in DMED.
“John Su (CDC, VAERS expert): See Tom Shimabukuro
“Steven A. Anderson (FDA), the top vaccine safety official at the FDA: Deliberately ignored all the VAERS and DMED safety signals and ignored all attempts to meet about the safety signals.
“Gavin Newsom, Governor of California: Mandated vaccination in California even though he was injured by the COVID vaccine. Will not vaccinate his own kids. He knows the vaccines are dangerous from first-hand experience and deliberately misleads the people of California by claiming they are safe.
“Dr. Richard Pan, California State Senator: Introduced legislation in the California legislature to close the Personal Exemption Loophole for COVID-19 School Vaccinations which will lead to the death of an unknown number of children. All done with no scientific evidence.
“Top corporate spreaders of misinformation. These companies refuse to censor doctors and scientists who claim that the vaccines are safe and effective and masks work. Instead they actually compound the problem and censor people who are telling the truth. Net result: hundreds of thousands of deaths caused by censoring the wrong people.

“The actions of the Disinformation Dozen cost lives. Collectively, these people are responsible for the deaths of over 1M Americans. For example, they have done things such as: Encouraging and/or mandating people to take ‘vaccines’ that data shows are more likely to kill them than to save them. And even when people aren’t killed, the scientific evidence shows that these vaccines are making people more likely to be infected from the latest variant. This has led to the untimely death of an estimated 400,000 Americans and to the permanent disablement of a roughly equivalent number.
“Telling people to wear masks when they know full well that all of the randomized trials showed that masks were ineffective. By misleading people to think they were protected, people then ventured into dangerous situations believing they were protected when they were in fact not protected at all. Masks are not harmless interventions. IQ has dropped dramatically (22 points) due to this ‘harmless’ intervention. DHS needs to stop these terrorists now inside the CDC who are promoting this.
“Ignoring all attempts to challenge them on their views by refusing to debate qualified scientists and doctors. Spreading misinformation about the VAERS system by deliberately not calculating the underreporting factor using their own methodology and then not applying that in public statements, thus misleading the CDC and FDA outside committees into making erroneous decisions. Also ignoring all the safety data in the VAERS database and refusing to take any meetings to discuss it.
“Deliberately trying to censor doctors and scientists from spreading the truth that will save lives through intimidation tactics and directing social networks to cancel their accounts. Sandbagging early treatment drugs that have been shown in clinical trials to save lives. They literally told people not to use these life-saving protocols leading to the unnecessary death of close to 900,000 people.”
“Under the Nazi Regime, moral norms were systematically obliterated. The medical profession and institutions were radically transformed, academic science, the military, industry and clinical medicine were tightly interwoven, as they are NOW. The Nazi system destroyed a social conscience in the name of Public Health. Violations against individuals and classes of human beings were institutionalised. Eugenics driven public health policies replaced the Physician’s focus on the good of the individual.
“Coercive public health policies violated individual civil and human rights. Criminal methods were used to enforce policy. Nazi Propaganda used fear of infectious epidemics to demonise Jews as spreaders of disease, as a menace to public health….Fear and propaganda were the psychological weapons the Nazis used to impose a genocidal regime and today, some are beginning to understand why the German people didn’t rise up, fear kept them from doing the right thing. Medical mandates are a major step backwards towards a fascist dictatorship and genocide.Government dictates, medical intervention, these undermine our dignity as well as our FREEDOM….The stark lesson of the Holocaust is that whenever doctors join forces with government and deviate from their personal, professional, clinical commitment to do no harm to the individual, medicine can then be perverted from a healing, humanitarian profession to a murderous apparatus…
“Every step of the murderous process was endorsed by the academic, professional medical establishment. Medical doctors and prestigious medical societies and institutions lent the veneer of legitimacy to infanticide, mass murder of civilians. It was the first industrialised medical murder project in history. The first victims were disabled German infants and children under 3….The next victims were the mentally ill, followed by the elderly in nursing homes. The murderous operations were methodical, and followed protocol very,very carefully.” Holocaust survivor Vera Sharavdraws on her experience during Nazi Germany to form her perspective on what is happening in the world today.
“The key to any sort of narrative revolution of information warfare is NOT to convince your crazy Fauci-worshippingneighbor. The point of it is to convince decision makers and opinions makers that they are holding onto untenable positions. The vaccinated are uniquely susceptible to fear induced psychoses: The Covid psychosis, created by the corporate media, affected them to the point of taking a completely unproven and experimental treatment that no sane person would even consider, if exposed to reasonable discussion and opposing points of view or given a few minutes to think about rationally.
“Two years of constant fear mongering and mask wearing has conditioned the ‘fear pathways’ in their brain to be the primary contributors to decision making. The vaccinated are self selected group that were most affected by the Covidpsychosis. The unvaccinated passed the Asch Experiment, and are much less susceptible and will be watching it from the sidelines with horror and compassion.
“The trust in legacy media is at record low, for good and obvious reasons that we will not discuss, inviting mistrust, paranoia and rumors. Thus, the legacy media will not be able to quash this. Widely circulating in the most primal social network: people meeting people in person, at work, or talking on the phone. This network is out of control of governments and Internet oligarchs everywhere in the world except North Korea, and is no less influential than Twitter or Facebook. This primal in-person social network has its own influencers, like that Covid skeptic Bill from accounts payable, who knows everything and was right on every turn, its own friend groups, in-person retweets, and so on.
“So once enough bad stuff is known to enough people, it begins circulating. No amount of fact checkers can convince someone that ‘No, your uncle’s blood clot was unrelated to the vaccine he took a day before.’
“Denials that vaccines cause ill effects, coupled with the fact that mRNA vaccines do cause wide ranging ill effects due to varying biodistribution of spike protein, makes it impossible for an average person to even tell, but they will blame the vaccine. This could conceivably bring 50-60% of the population into a fear frenzy, that authorities did not create and therefore will not be able to control. It is uncertain who will control this fear, if anyone, but this is very socially dangerous and could potentially affect Western societies in very profound ways. Fear could grow into anger, and anger could be harnessed by enterprising revolutionaries.”
“If governments want to be helpful in reducing severe disease and deaths, imposing more laws and restrictions is not the answer. Rather, focus on educating people on how to better maintain their immune systems. Encourage healthier lifestyles through education and wellness programs, especially in the less fortunate of our society. Provide or encourage businesses to consider better sick leave alternatives for people in ALL jobs/vocations so that people are not driven by the choice of work to live or stay home and be sick.” Roger W.
