Politics Not Science

 The people running the US government have been dropping all pretense of professionalism, adherence to rule of law and rights protected (not given) by the US Constitution.  Let's take this from the FDA:

It is not the job of the FDA to "counter vaccine hesitancy". It is the job of the FDA to objectively examine drugs before they go to market for effectiveness and minimal side effects.  It is naked politics for this agency to be "sprinting" to "expedite approval", when they should be "diligently" collecting data and letting the proverbial chips fall where they may.

As I've pointed out, the current vaccines have killed more people in the last 7 months than the total death counts from COVID in a number of US states. Furthermore the deaths in the last 7 months are 5x the deaths of all flu vaccines combined and in use since the 1990s.

A non-political FDA would never grant full approval for a drug with this profile for people who are healthy and I doubt it would be anything more than a "last ditch emergency use" for anyone who was extremely sick and likely to die.

But as I've said, this is politics. The reason they are "sprinting to expedite approval" is because many of the arguments against taking the current "vaccines" is that they are experimental and lack full approval. What the FDA is doing is eliminating that argument so that private businesses and governments can say that these are "fully approved" vaccines and thus you have no "valid" argument against taking it.

This is why a lot of the mandates are coming into effect September-October. This is the plan. The specific time frame isn't important. 

Ultimately the state (and various private entities) believe you are a slave to the paycheck and therefore have no [economic] choice but to do as you are told. 

And let's not mince words, they believe you to be their property. 

Take the shot Toby.

I told you months ago that this mandatory vaccine and passport scheme is the end of America where citizens are sovereign. When this stuff goes down the precedent will be set and you will be the property of the state and there is no going back without "fire sticks" if you know what I mean.

Not A Typo?

 So I had to make sure it wasn't Babylon Bee. Had to make sure that it wasn't someone mistaking the data. No. No it's not a typo:

"A sobering scientific analysis published Friday of an explosive Massachusetts covid-19 outbreak fueled by the delta variant found that three-quarters of the people who became infected were fully vaccinated. The report, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, bolstered the hypothesis that vaccinated people can spread the more transmissible variant and may be a factor in the summer surge of infections."

Look. Since last year I have warned against being alarmed by "cases". That the "casedemic" is not important, the outcomes are. So long as people aren't dying or suffering serious permanent conditions in large numbers relative to cases, the case count is irrelevant. People are infected with things all. the. time. It only matters if you get sick.

So the reason I'm posting this stuff is because the American public has been sold a sack of shit and told it's gold. They have been programmed to think that those who are counter to the "official narratives" are conspiracy theorists, illiterate and innumerate who are "accessories to murder" and should be "rounded up, arrested and thrown in jail". Yes, people out there are calling for mass arrests and detention of people because they will not "fall in line".

Not too long ago CNN pushed the full lie that the un-vaccinated were "variant factories:".  When do they get held to account for the xenophobia they have fostered in the public?

"Critically, the study found that vaccinated individuals carried as much virus in their noses as unvaccinated individuals, and that vaccinated people could spread the virus to each other. The CDC was criticized this week for changing its mask guidance without citing unpublished data. The report released Friday contains that data."

This is Homer Simpson level of duh. Again, vaccines DO NOT PREVENT Infection. It cannot because these things (viruses and bacteria) are freely floating about and enter our bodies many thousands if not million times a day. You have bacteria on your skin right now. You have bacteria in your gut right now. The immune system knows of these bacteria and simply keeps them in check so that they don't reproduce to the extent that they cause disease. This is what happens with AIDS patients. Their failed immune systems cannot keep these ever present organisms in check and the person dies of "opportunistic infections."

So yes it should be *expected* that vaccinated people spread just like everybody else. This is why I said from the jump that you shouldn't worry about "the spread" but you should concern yourself with making your body a hostile environment for the virus so that you don't get a severe case. 

Now I'm going to drop a hint on what's going to drop next: The vaccinated may have a higher mortality rate (that is, death per x cases) than the unvaccinated. That is, even if there are more cases among the unvaccinated, more of them will survive the encounter, in total, than the vaccinated.

Some of you may be familiar with the current paper that is showing this data. I don't feel comfortable posting it until I see more data and the difference is at least 2 stand deviations from average.  Because if this turns out to be the case then millions of people are possibly walking around with medical time bombs.

I will say this, regardless of vaccination status I strongly suggest regular D, Zinc and Quercetin intake schedules. 

It's All Relative I Suppose

 Vaers data for:

Flu Vaccines. All dates. Deaths. United States only:

From 1990 to present 1,163 reported deaths as an adverse reaction to all types of flu vaccines.

Deaths, Life Threatening and Permanent Paralysis:

 

6918 total. Since 1989.

COVID-19: All dates, Deaths, United States Only:

 

from 2001(?) to present (this writing): 5467.  5414 in 2021 alone. And it's only July.

Death, Life threatening and Permanent disability:

18,481. It's only July.

Anyone who says that these current COVID vaccines are anywhere as safe as flu vaccines is lying to your face.  

You make up your mind as to whether this profile is "safe" considering your risk profile.

On a side note, If we divide the deaths since January 2021, 5414 and divide it by 7 (for months elapsed) that's 773 a month. That would mean that compared to some states, the vaccine killed more people than the virus did since data started being collected in March 2020.

Winners Never Quit

 This is simultaneously about Simone Biles and not about Simone Biles. I'm not an elite level athlete with big money endorsements and people hanging their dreams on me. I don't know that life or that life's pressure. I do better than most in my chosen athletic endeavors but I'm not at that level and so I I will refrain from bashing on her too much. Besides, Biles, and Osaka are really a symptom of a larger problem with America. It is no longer a country of winners.

One of my favorite movies is Apollo 13 featuring Tom Hanks. If I'm flipping channels and I see that movie on, I stop and let it play out. Clearly I know what's going to happen but that's not the point. For me Apollo 13 is a throw back to an America that wasn't a whiny ass bitch complaining about shit. It shows a time when men were men and under extreme pressure, GOT SHIT DONE.

The ability to perform under pressure is not something all of us have. It is a rare gift that if you have it,  you are likely to go on to do great things. If you don't have it, you are lucky to have such a person on your team. 

Apollo 13 showed men who undertook their jobs with the utmost seriousness. Lives were on the line. Fuck sleep. We're going to get the sequence to get the computer up or die trying. We will do it again and again until we get it.

Onboard the crippled ship. We are going to keep our wits about us and remain calm even though our oxygen is running out. Even though if we don't angle this ship right, without the aide of the computer we will either bounce off the atmosphere or be on a completely wrong angle that causes us to burn to a crisp. Assuming we don't simply explode.

That's pressure.

Another thing, for me, is that when I mentally complain that I have to run these 10 miles and it's hot or cold or whatever. I reflect on my ancestors and tell myself that a 10 mile run is not hard. Weeks in the hold of a slave ship is hard. Working from can't see to can't see in the southern heat is hard.

I think of Denmark Vessey (Telemaque) and I think of the strong constitution it took to plan a slave rebellion knowing full well that to be caught was to face certain and probable cruel death. And yet he and his compatriots did it anyway.

I think of the run away slaves I read about in the "Carolina room" when I was researching on Denmark Vesey and seeing all the reports of runaway slaves who braved the marshes to be free. Again, knowing full well that to be caught would result in a minimum "serious" punishment and likely death. 

And still they went.

Is Olympic gymnastics that important?  No. But still, these are the people who came before you. They didn't quit. All we asked you to do, that you volunteered to do, was represent the country to the best of your ability for a few days. That was apparently asking too much.

Apparently she didn't want to injure herself. 

Someone should have told her about the crash during the bike race. When you're the champ and competing at the top level of the sport, injury and the risk of it comes with the territory. 

When I was growing up ABC, the tv station, had a sports program which featured the phrase: 

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

And it featured a montage of athletes enduring epic fails that surely resulted in [great] bodily injury. 

We used to understand that the game came with risks.

Now we hide in our houses. Put on face masks and allow people to inject untested shit into our bodies so we can "feel safe".

America is now a nation of quitters with low expectations.

Black people aren't in the selective high schools because they don't do well on the entrance exams? Instead of telling them to buckle down and study, we tell them that the problem is the tests and move to scrap the tests.

Black students not behaving in school and hence getting suspended? Instead of insisting on high standards of behaviors, no, we'll just allow them to be disruptive, Don't wan't them to feel inferior.

Black males committing crimes at alarming rates that are [many] multiples of other groups? Don't insist on better behavior and accountability. Decriminalize this that and the other.

I could go on but for those who have eyes to see, they know what I speak on. 

So no. Biles' actions is not really an individual thing. It is a product of a larger problem that is a cancer eating at America. Personally, I think it's terminal.  Hopefully I'm wrong.

The "Vaccinated" Are Super Spreaders

 You know this entire COVID response has been an utter circus since March 2020. We have total clowns running the show who enjoy the undeserved power given to them. They told you to wear masks that DO NOT WORK. They shut down your children's schools even though COVID is by far a lesser risk than the flu. They shut down your jobs and your life and told you to stay indoors for months on end.

They accused anyone who objected as conspiracy theorists who were "anti-vaccine" and anti-science.

They told you the vaccine was your ticket out because it would be more effective than a mask.

We, free minded people knew that was likely to be not true. We have been called all manner of vile things and many of us have lost jobs or will soon lose their jobs because WE KNOW the facts.

Now this:

"According to the new science, she said, fully vaccinated people with breakthrough infections from the delta variant have a similar viral load to infections in unvaccinated people. That means the fully vaccinated are more likely to spread the virus with the delta variant than the original coronavirus. "

Remember when CNN and the "experts" said that unvaccinated people were "variant factories"?

I called them out on that xenophobic bullshit on the spot.

And now the experts, just about 3 months later are telling the truth that we skeptics SAID WAS THE CASE:

Vaccinated people, get infected and can transmit and therefore any attempts at coercing people to get vaccinated on the claims that it "stops the spread" is total and utter bullshit.

And what's worse, is that IF the vaccine actually suppresses symptoms, then vaccinated people are walking around transmitting and have no symptoms where an unvaccinated person would likely have developed symptoms and removed themselves from the public.  it may be the case that vaccinated people present a far greater danger to those who are most at risk than those who are not. That would be ironic wouldn't it?

No more of this bullshit from the CDC and others. No more telling us where we can go and what we can do. No more telling us what to put on or in our bodies. It's past time to shut these people down.

COVID is here. It will be here and you all better get used to it. You don't want to end up in the hospital? Then get a hold of your metabolic syndrome if you are overweight and/or diabetic. If you don't have those issues, get yourself on a regular regimen of vit D3, Zinc and Quercetin.

If you have cancer or some other issue that leaves you immunocompromised, though I feel for you, we're not shutting society down for you. Life dealt you a rough hand. Life may yet deal me a rough hand too. I'm not exempt and all of us are going to exit one way or the other. Time to come to grips with that and deal.

Enough of the medical tyranny. 

Enough.

The New Segregationists

 Long time readers of the blog (thank you) know that I have been using the term "Left Crow" for a few years now. It is a play on the term "Jim Crow" which were rules and regulations (not always laws) that were used to keep blacks in America "in their place". I use this term because when viewing the acts and ideas coming out of the popular left, it resembles quite closely, that of the Jim Crow era. All you have to do is strip the racial aspect of it.  Well no, to be clear a lot of it IS racial in that whites are often the target of the discrimination rather than blacks. This is deemed "OK" because it is done on behalf of blacks who, strangely, lack the agency to do things for themselves. Like they are inferior or something.

Well the COVID era has moved Left Crowism even further into segregationalism.Whereas the segregation in Left Crowism was previouisly confined to "safe spaces" and the like, mostly on college campuses, the rise of the Vaccine Religion has caused it to break out into the wider American public. The Vaccine Religion is that one must "believe" in all vaccines, at all times, or you are a "sinner" in need of punishment. There is no space for nuance such as "I'm good with the polio vaccine (second not first), but I'll wait (or pass) on this COVID one until I see more data."

No, it's either full compliance or ostracism. Or segregation. 

If you've read anything online you'll see that across the "western world" more and more "leaders" are calling for the unvaccinated to be barred from restaurants and other places. Various medical organizations who claim to represent their members but actually do not and don't know it because many of their members are afraid to speak up, are calling for the same. While I can understand such mentalities in places like England where people are "royal subjects", the appearance of this mentality in America is, well, unfortunate to say the least.

One of things about the American republic is that it was founded on the principle that each person was free, that is not the subject of royalty, papacy or government; and the government had limited power. It's not only in the founding document but also in the Declaration of Independence. Now as a supporter of the Juneteenth holiday, I have pointed out that it marks a significant milestone in rectifying the issue of black people being the property of others rather than being free, as defined previously, like everybody else. The important thing being that no American is the property of any other person OR the government. Furthermore; they can only be property of the state (in a limited sense) as a punishment for crimes.

Your body is your property and nobody can force you to do something to it or with it. This is not a government given right. This is intrinsic to your existence (AKA: God given). All transactions with your body, be it medical, labour, etc, must happen with your consent. Period. This is also the basis of Roe v Wade. Whether you agree with abortion or not is not the subject for today. The point here is that the court "affirmed" that the state did not have rights to tell sovereign people (adults, not minors) whether they can have a "medical procedure" even if that procedure results in death of another life. Why? Because your body is your property and you choose what is done with it.

The only compulsory vaccinations we have in America are for children. The reasons for this are clear:

1) Children, particularly infants and toddlers cannot make decisions about vaccines or anything else for that matter. Parents, as the persons legally responsible for those children are charged with making these decisions.  Those same parents are under obligation to care for the child should that child suffer a life long disability due to the decisions the parents make for them.

2) Any sane civilization protects it's future. Many of the vaccines given at childhood are for diseases that have high fatality rates in children. Some, like polio, when it doesn't kill can cause serious physical disabilities for life. 

Where adults are told to get vaccinations it is when they travel to other countries. Largely this is for their own protection against diseases that are NOT endemic to where they come from. If I was going to Ghana you would not have to coerce me to get a malaria shot. Or Dengue fever. Or River blindness shots. Line 'em up, roll up my sleeve or drop my pants and lets get to jabbing.

Covid is now endemic world wide. It is zoonotic (can infect animals and make the jump between them and humans) and therefore cannot be eradicated. Period. Hence travel bans and segregation will do nothing to help. Intelligent people know this. Some of these intelligent people have ulterior motives. Which brings me back to the segregation angle.

I believe that a large reason why segregation in America was done was the widespread fear of black people. I'm not getting into the validity of these fears. Just saying that it existed.  A second reason for it was the sense of superiority it gave and re-enforced in the people who benefited from segregation. They believed themselves to be morally, intellectually and ultimately more human than the people they excluded and forced into inferior conditions. In other words, they got off on their superior position.

Witness the rage in the pictures of the black students who "integrated" a school in Little Rock. 

 

Exactly what threat did these students pose to the white students? None. And yet when you see the pictures of the crowd, they are in a full rage.  The "mandatory vaccine" crowd is not much different. 

They want to make it so you cannot work. They want to make it so that you cannot go on public transport (which your taxes went to pay for). They are out in the open about making life 'very difficult" for people who are unvaccinated.

And they believe they are morally superior and so there is nothing wrong with their position. Just like the segregationists were.  Keep the negroes out until they are civilized. 

Keep the unvaxxed out until they are "civilized".

Meanwhile "vaccinated" people keep getting infected and infecting others such as this latest example:

 

Oh.

Rational people without ulterior motives would look at this and scrap any kind of "vaccine mandate" because it would be clear that they "do not work" in reference to infection and transmission.

"Dr. Janet Whelan, a member of the Provincetown Board of Health, confirmed that the vaccinated could be spreading the Coronavirus: “The most interesting thing to me about this cluster of cases is so many of the people infected were vaccinated, which sort of means that a lot of the people that are vaccinated who are exposed to it may feel safe, but may also transmit it to others.”  ABC News however dismissed the spread as being “not a major concern”."

"May also transmit it to others"? I'd drop the "may" part.

Now in the face of overwhelming evidence that vaccination prevents neither infection or transmission, what do these people do?

Officials in Cape Cod’s Provincetown has issued a new mask rule for all the unvaccinated, including children under the age of 12. Unvaccinated people will be required to wear masks both outdoors in crowded areas as well as in all public indoor spaces, despite the fact that vaccinated people make up most of the active cases in the town.

Mask rule? Firstly we were told that vaccines were the exit from masks. If the vaccine is NOT an exit from masks then WTF? And since masks didn't stop anything (for reasons of simple physics), then why do more of things that didn't and don't work?

For a lot of these people, they are in a bubble where they have no one, at least no one they respect. to challenge their thinking. I remember when I had such ideologies. For example, I thought that black people committed no more crime than whites and that the difference was due to racist policing and courts. No one I associated with challenged this assumption and therefore I had no reason to think I was wrong. I even spent a lengthy blog post on the subject thinking I was debunking someone else's write up on the matter. Got a lot of "fan mail" about my "takedown". 

I then stepped out of my bubble, and did that pesky thing called research and found that lo and behold, black Americans commit far more violent crime, particularly in cities than every other group of people.

The thing I thought was racist was true. Since I'm a principled person I stopped writing up misinformation and updated the original post (left it up tho). 

So you must have people who are willing to look at the data and get to conclusions and accept them regardless of how they may feel about it. Clearly masks are NOT the solution. Why the mandates when this is known?

Secondly, since vaccinated people are clearly transmitting, why are they exempt from the silly mask rule?

Because these people are the new segregationists. They now have a group they can discriminate against that they can identify, and they are doing so. The unvaccinated are the new "ni**ers" of America.

 I would think that black leaders (ha!) would be at the forefront of resistance to this neo-segregation movement. We only have to look at our history and what happens when a people lose rights over their bodies. When some citizens have their rights of free movement and association restricted by law, black leaders should be the first to say "not on my watch".

It is time for the public to stand up against these neo-segregationists. Whether you are vaccinated or not. It doesn't matter. A government who can violate your property rights over your body *has no limits*. The ex-slave knows this. The window of opportunity is closing very quickly.  Even if you agree with such a mandate because it comes from people you "trust' and agree with, Are you prepared to accept future mandates if it is from someone you don't? If not there is only one answer to the neo-segregationist: 

Not on my watch.

COVID Zero: Sweden

 I'm not on the "Zero-COVID" train. I believe the virus is and will be endemic. That said, there are a lot of people out there with a belief in Covid-Zero and think that *forcing* people to wear masks, to lock down cities and countries and to force experimental vaccines on people is how you get there. 

Behold a pale horse I mean Sweden.

7 day moving average deaths: 0

Ze-ro.

No mask mandates, late implemented limited lock downs in some places. Everybody was in Sweden's ass about how irresponsible they were being.

As Kook Moe Dee said : How ya like me now?

Now i'm not saying they cannot have a resurgence. This is a seasonal virus and they have had a close to zero death rate before (last summer). So this underscores that what we are seeing in the US and elsewhere is not about "science" but about control.

The Shifted Narrative

 WEF agents, I mean "government agents" are now pushing the narrative that "unvaccinated people" are to "blame" for the spread of COVID, particularly the "Delta variant".  In addition they are claiming that the vaccines makes COVID "like the flu bro". In March of 2020, if you said that you were in denial and "anti-science".

To this last point I would refer you to Worldometers. 

See that Active Cases block? See that "in mild condition" part? Yeah. it's been at that percentage since the beginning.  For most people COVID is at worst like a bad flu (I've had a bad flu, it's not fun. At times you probably wish it would all just be overwith. Then you recover). For the majority of people it is not much of a deal at all.

This was known before any vaccine was put into any arms. Hence the entire "vaccines make it like the flu" narrative is false on it's face. It has always been so.

What *may* be the case is that for that .6% who have severe cases, that the vaccine prevents that from becoming "dead" or that it keeps them out of severe cases. If so, then that is an argument for those who are most susceptible (elderly, comorbid) to seriously consider taking one of the shots.

So having demolished this "vaccines make it like the flu" argument lets go back to the unvaxxed are the problem.

75% you say?

So, people were given the impression that vaccines prevented infection. Yes, they believed that. This is the second (or maybe third) post I have made that shows definitively that the people were lied to. these shots do NOT, in any way, shape or form prevent infection OR TRANSMISSION.

Now the narrative is that unvaccinated people are the majority of  or all of hospitalizations. The set up being that vaccination status determines hospitalization. It does not and never has. 

Of Singapore's 1,096 locally transmitted infections in the last 28 days, 484, or about 44%, were in fully vaccinated people, while 30% were partially vaccinated and just over 25% were unvaccinated, Thursday's data showed.

So 1096 'cases" roughly 250 were unvaccinated. 25% of 1000. Another 300 were partially vaccinated. That's ~550 people who were not "fully vaccinated".

While seven cases of serious illness required oxygen, and another was in critical condition in intensive care, none of the eight had been fully vaccinated, the health ministry said.

8 of the 550 had a severe enough case to require oxygen and/or intensive care. That's ~1.1% of the total. Meaning of the ~550 people, 98.9% had "mild or no symptoms".

Hello? Is anyone home?

""There is continuing evidence that vaccination helps to prevent serious disease when one gets infected," the ministry said, adding that all the fully vaccinated and infected people had shown no symptoms, or only mild ones."

Hello? Anybody home upstairs? 98.9% of the "not fully vaccinated" had either no symptoms or "mild ones' per your own data.

""We've got to accept that all of us will have to have some restrictions, vaccinated or not vaccinated," said Peter Collignon, an infectious diseases physician and microbiologist at Canberra Hospital in the Australian capital."

No. No we do not have to accept this. 

That is what they want. THAT is the "end game". They want to control the population in a way that they could not prior to March 2020. This is why these provably false narratives are being pushed on a generally innumerate population while rampant censorship is being done by the WEF agents.

Natural Infection vs. Vaccine

 

From:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4JeGB6TSms

Paper referenced from here:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.23.21259327v1

Note it is a preprint and may be retracted.

In summary: Vaccine only looks for spike protein S1. Infection-derived immunity recognizes more of the virus and therefore offers better [current] protection against variants.

I have long argued that the current vaccine regime is faulty in that it doesn't use dead or "crippled" viruses to induce immunity. 

Fauci Lying Through His Lips

 You know the old phrase "lying through your teeth". Well, Fauci is lying and it involves his entire mouth.

Let's be clear: Back in 2013 The Ghost told y'all about the "gain of function" experiments going on in China. Sure it was flu strains, but if you think it was limited to that, well, you're stupid.

Now Rand Paul has shown, with definitive proof that such research was going on and that research was being funded by the NIH (via your tax dollars if you are a US resident) even though such research was not supposed to be funded by US government agencies.

I am under no illusion that Fauci will be held to account. Nor anybody else, because the criminal activities of various government agencies and agents since 2016 (really before that but that's another post) have yet to be punished.

Fauci should have been cuffed on the spot and taken into custody to wait for his trial. All the probable cause is present and a reasonable case can be made to a jury. 

I'm sure a lot of people are wondering why I have so many COVID posts. The reason is that there is a lot of criminal activity from various government and private entities going on under the guise of the pandemic. This descent into medical tyranny needs to end. I don't think enough of the US public truly understands the threat of this. It seems the people of France are waking up to this but too many people in the US are dead asleep.

This Is How Dumb Things Are Now

 As we cross into the second half of the second "year of COVID" the true nature of the beast that is authoritarianist clown world that is America and many other places is in full view.  Look at the following:

"All crew on the deployment had received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57830617.amp?s=09 

"Despite following [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines and being fully vaccinated, I tested positive for COVID-19..."

So we can conclusively state that being "fully vaccinated" does NOTHING to stop you from getting infected by COVID which I said way back last year. But because total clowns are running the show and the people are scared to death to lose their livelihoods, they are not acting like the French [currently].

So now the clowns are doing this:

" Still, it is Mr. de Blasio’s first move to require any city employee to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative coronavirus test as a condition of showing up to work, city officials said. It is likely to cover more than 10 percent of the more than 300,000 people who work for city government."

Since we, sorry, now that the rest of you know that "fully vaccinated" people not only still get infected but also infect others, what exactly is the point in giving them a pass on the "negative test"?

There is no logical or data derived reason for this other than being ass hats with state power.

This is how things are now. Total Barnum and Bailey.

What's The End Game?

 So after seeing more and more people decide to put their masks back on most likely due to being scared by the "delta variant" news. We have seen certain places in the US re-instate mask mandates. Never mind that we already knew that masks do. Not. Work. To. Stop. Infection. Fauci said it. All the research prior to March 2020 said it. And numerous videos of people blowing air around and through masks. And don't get me started on the massive amounts of people simply not wearing them "correctly".

That said, in the end I believe that people should be free to choose to do so if they wish so long as they leave me alone. I don't force anyone to take Zinc. I don't make them take Quercetin. I don't make them work out. I don't make them eat well. So leave me to do me and you don whatever comfort material that makes you feel better. But unfortunately, it may be the case that we will once again be doing the mandatory "mask shit" again. What's the end game? Let's review the goal post shifting that has gone on.

2 weeks to flatten the curve

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve.

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread.

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread --> Stop the spread.

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread --> Stop the spread --> Stop the spread until we have a vaccine.

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread --> Stop the spread --> Stop the spread until we have a vaccine. ---> vaccine. still wear these masks.

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread --> Stop the spread --> Stop the spread until we have a vaccine. ---> vaccine. still wear these masks. --> vaccines don't stop infection put the mask back on.

In some places we have:

2 weeks to flatten the curve --->2 months to flatten the curve ---> slow the spread --> Stop the spread --> Stop the spread until we have a vaccine. ---> vaccine. still wear these masks.-->vaccines don't stop infection so lock down to "stop the spread".

This last goal post stand was inevitable because people like me KNEW that vaccines do. Not. Stop. Infections.  And now that the US has a very public example of this in the case of the "fully vaccinated" Texas Democrats who fled to DC taking COVID with them. I'm not going to pile on them. It's not worth it to me because aside from the politics they did nothing wrong. The entire purpose of a vaccine is to keep you from getting severely ill or dying. It does nothing to stop a virus from entering your body.

How is it that the public was not made to understand this? Why is this news. This is Homer Simpson levels of "duh".

This is why I said from the beginning that the POINT should have been to reduce or avoid symptoms not this silly ass "Zero COVID".  Avoiding the symptoms is doable without vaccines for most people. Others with certain co-morbities MAY have to consider medical intervention. At this point anyone who wants to take the shot can do so. At this point there should be ZERO restrictions or mandates anywhere.

Take it or don't take it.

But why are certain places bringing back masks and perhaps even considering other restrictions again? What is the end game now? The "vaccine" was supposed to be the "light at the end of the tunnel". If that's not it, then what's the end game? 

The Panic Pandemic

 As the "authorities" have moved full steam ahead with their abuse of power by actually calling for censorship of those who don't follow the talking points a great article in City-Journal exposes the real pandemic. I usually blockquote articles at length but this piece is so full of spot on critque that I would end up posting the entire thing. When you have some time to read the entire piece undisturbed you should do so.

Instead of keeping calm and carrying on, the American elite flouted the norms of governance, journalism, academic freedom—and, worst of all, science. They misled the public about the origins of the virus and the true risk that it posed. Ignoring their own carefully prepared plans for a pandemic, they claimed unprecedented powers to impose untested strategies, with terrible collateral damage. As evidence of their mistakes mounted, they stifled debate by vilifying dissenters, censoring criticism, and suppressing scientific research...

 But neither the plague nor Trump explains the panic. Yes, the virus was deadly, and Trump’s erratic pronouncements contributed to the confusion and partisanship, but the panic was due to two preexisting pathologies that afflicted other countries, too. The first is what I have called the Crisis Crisis, the incessant state of alarm fomented by journalists and politicians. It’s a longstanding problem—humanity was supposedly doomed in the last century by the “population crisis” and the “energy crisis”—that has dramatically worsened with the cable and digital competition for ratings, clicks, and retweets. To keep audiences frightened around the clock, journalists seek out Cassandras with their own incentives for fearmongering: politicians, bureaucrats, activists, academics, and assorted experts who gain publicity, prestige, funding, and power during a crisis...

The second pathology underlying the elite’s Covid panic is the politicization of research—what I have termed the Left’s war on science, another long-standing problem that has gotten much worse. Just as the progressives a century ago yearned for a nation directed by “expert social engineers”—scientific high priests unconstrained by voters and public opinion—today’s progressives want sweeping new powers for politicians and bureaucrats who “believe in science,” meaning that they use the Left’s version of science to justify their edicts. Now that so many elite institutions are political monocultures, progressives have more power than ever to enforce groupthink and suppress debate. Well before the pandemic, they had mastered the tactics for demonizing and silencing scientists whose findings challenged progressive orthodoxy on issues such as IQ, sex differences, race, family structure, transgenderism, and climate change.

A Battle For Your Mind

 Long time no write. This won't be long though. This is COVID related but more about some things I saw recently. I don't watch local or MSM programming. I see them for the propaganda outlets that they are.  However; from time to time I am subject to the propaganda channels and see what they are filling the heads of vulnerable citizens with and boy has it gotten worse than the last time.

First there was a report on the Surgeon General who apparently has a booklet out to dispell "misinformation" about the current "vaccines". I don't know what's in it because I haven't read it but I was struck by something that was extremely obvious. There was no example of what this "misinformation" was. You would think that if the reports really believed that the "misinformation" was getting people killed that they would, you know, give an example of said misinformation. 

Nope.

Now maybe they did so in your location, in which case, what I write next doesn't apply. But I don't think the lack of examples was an accident. See by not saying, they are throwing a blanket over anything that goes against the narrative. Doubt everything.

The next thing were these extremely long commercials for getting the shots in which they attempt to answer questions that "doubters" may have. If these were commercials by a private drug company they would be held liable for misrepresentation. 

The first glaring problem was that they kept saying "authorized vaccines".

Yes, they are "authorized". But the "authorization" is an emergency authorization. Why hide this fact? Because if they mentioned that, the viewer would ask WHY? The answer would inevitable include "not fully tested".

Might as well end the commercial.

Sin of ommission.

Again, this is not accidental. They do not want you having information. The EUA (Emergency use authorization) is predicated on not having any other treatment. We know that Ivermectin is an effective solution for most people. We know that HCQ is effective in early stages. We know this despite the various "health industries" colluding to create fake papers along with threatening the licenses of front line medical professionals who would prescribe these drugs.

So since they lied to get the auth (all under Trump mind you) you should be asking what ELSE they are lying about.

The next thing they did was completely misrepresent "side effects". They poo-poohed the subject by saying that some people get "sore arms", "sweats". There was no mention of the heart problems that some, mostly younger people have had. You do realize that damaged heart tissue forms scar tissue that stays with the person for the rest of their life?  You do realize that the damage incurred may result in complications when they are older? That is, it could be a time bomb implanted into the body done for the sake of something they are unlikely to have severe complications from if infected?

Look, high fevers are not fun. I've had them. Not fun. Then it's over and you move along. I'd take a high fever over potential heart damage, every. day of the week.

Then there's the nearly 5k dead out of 8K adverse reactions reported to VAERS.

It's not exactly a small thing when 50% of your adverse reaction is "dead". Imagine you watch a commercial for a drug and they said that death was the most likely adverse reaction to the drug. But it's a small chance of that happening.

Yeah. Thanks but no thanks.

And now after getting the public to believe that the vaccine prevented infection, which is flat out incorrect, they are now back pedaling to say it prevents severe outcomes. Well again, we told you that a long time ago. Secondly we told you how to prevent that sans vaccines.  But why are they saying that, because the high percent (and climbing) of "breakthrough" transmissions. They are trying to blame the "unvaccinated" but the fact is that the vaccine does nothing to stop viral replication. Same as the unvaccinated. All it does is shorten the time for immune response in those who would be unprepared so that the second stage is largely averted. Again, this can be done with therapeutics discussed on this blog at length.

So keep your mind open and see what's not being told to you. We are in dangerous times and it's not the Wuhan virus.

Concern Trolling For Virginia

 Concern Trolling is when someone acts as if they are concerned for your (or someone elses) welfare but they are really being malicious.  CNN is doing some for the unvaccinated in Virginia. Now mind you that at this point in time anyone who is not vaccinated is likely not vaccinated by their own choice and thus understood the risks.  Mind you it SHOULD be the same for those who decided to get vaccinated. So since they knew the deal, if they get sick and die, it's not really newsworthy nor should it be used as a means of propagandizing.  Why? Because bottom line, we are all going to exit this place one way or another. All of us.

Anyway:

 

Say. How many people is that?

"A total of 1,063 breakthrough cases have been reported in Virginia – less than 0.1% of all fully vaccinated people. These cases resulted in 71 breakthrough hospitalizations and 17 breakthrough deaths."

"Breakthrough" is a cute term meaning vaccinated people who got COVID anyway.  Just under 10% of those were hospitalized and a half percent died.  Sounds pretty bad 

but...WORLDOMETERS:

 

189 cases total on July 8. 

3 deaths on July 8.

3.

Three.

III.

This is concern trolling. There is literally "nothing to see here".

The Propaganda And The Data

 My last trip to the casino featured a lot more people wearing masks than last month. Even though the vast majority of them cannot be bothered to even put them on properly. Not that it makes a difference but still. 

I take that to be the result of the new Delta propaganda going about. Yes there is a delta variant. Heck, I'll say that there is likely a whole bunch of variants out there and Delta is just the current top dog.  But I want to expose this: "Delta is KILLING PEOPLE! GET VAXXED OR ELSE YOU DIE!" propaganda being put out by the likes of Reuters

July 8 (Reuters) - U.S. COVID-19 cases are up around 11% over last week, almost entirely among people who have not been vaccinated, officials said on Thursday, as the highly infectious Delta variant becomes the dominant COVID-19 strain in the country.

Around 93% of COVID-19 cases have occurred in counties with vaccination rates of less than 40%, said U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Rochelle Walensky.

 

Now anyone with their third eye open sees the propaganda here. The plot here is to blame cases and deaths on the "unvaxxed" in order to get the public to accept whatever draconian measures they have in mind to force the unvaxxed to comply.   So anyway lets look at worldometers. Here's US cases up to June 29:

 

That's what their giving you grief about. By their talk you'd think you were at January peak.

Now deaths.

Yeah, that low point at the end of the graph. That's 252 deaths on July5. With a downward trendline. And you'll not that line goes up and down (variance) so one day has 136 the next 400+ (4x deaths OMG We're All Going To Die).

Here's the thing: They know the general public doesn't have worldometers as a bookmark. They know that the general public is numerically illiterate. Sorry but it's true. And so they know the public depends upon them for information. 

Earlier today I saw a doctor write about how he is "proning" patients and putting them on ventilators (So please get vaxxed). Proning is turning the patient on their stomachs so their lungs can expand. We already know that ventilator more or less equals soon dead. What bothered me most about it is that these patients werea *allowed* to get this far in the first place. Assuming these patients don't have serious co-morbidities (which by the data are the people who are 99% of these cases), why weren't they prescribed Ivermectin? Why are medical professionals not giving their patients the best care before their lungs are severely damaged?

So there we have it: The propaganda and the data.

It's Not Like We Didn't Warn You

 So when these lockdowns went into effect, it was supposed to be "2 weeks to flatten the curve". That is, give hospitals and other care facilities the time to ramp up to handle what was projected to happen.  At that point the lock downs were supposed to end. 

Didn't happen.

Why? Because in part, the "zero COVID" people got the reigns of power and they got an assist from power hungry politicians who were in part afraid of losing elections. Nobody wanted to be blamed for 'deaths" and be accused of "not doing anything". 

So lockdowns went into effect. Mask rules that defied all research up to 2020 were implemented. Hand sanitizer sales were like printing money. Now generally I rejected both the masks and the hand sanitizer. I won't go into the masks again, you can search the blog for the many pieces on them. On the hand sanitizer point, I looked at it the way I do anti-bacterial soap: Not a good idea.

See the body has bacteria that lives both on and in us. Most of them, so long as they are kept in check do good things for us. You don't want to go killing them off. Also you've heard of "super bugs" right? Those bacteria that have become immune to every known-antibacterial agent short of bleach, You know how that happened? The over use of "sanitizers" and antibiotics. Sometimes its simple best to let the body handle the bacteria.

Well that piece of knowledge, along with a whole lot of other knowledge got tossed out the window and now is coming back to bite the people in the arse.

Immunity debt due to what? Lockdowns?

How could anyone have not seen this coming? Weren't there "experts" warning of the real dangers of lockdowns, particularly on children? I recall reading about them. How were they treated?

New Zealand hospitals are experiencing the payoff of “immunity debt” created by Covid-19 lockdowns, with wards flooded by babies with a potentially-deadly respiratory virus, doctors have warned.

Wellington has 46 children currently hospitalised for respiratory illnesses including respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. A number are infants, and many are on oxygen. Other hospitals are also experiencing a rise in cases that are straining their resources – with some delaying surgeries or converting playrooms into clinical space.

RSV is a common respiratory illness. In adults, it generally only produces very mild symptoms – but it can make young children extremely ill, or even be fatal. The size and seriousness of New Zealand’s outbreak is likely being fed by what some paediatric doctors have called an “immunity debt” – where people don’t develop immunity to other viruses suppressed by Covid lockdowns, causing cases to explode down the line.

I remember how New Zealand was held up as THE PINNACLE of "COVID responsible policies. While mean, uncaring Sweden was killing grandma's left right and center (in cahoots with Trump no doubt).

See, we anti-masker and anti-lockdown people knew that a part of how our immune system works is by getting exposed to things in the environment and figuring out who is "friend or foe" and dealing with them accordingly. As a side effect of dealing with these environmental hazzards you get immunity to things you haven't encountered yet but are similar in nature to something you already encountered.

Duh.

This was common knowledge prior to March 2020.  There was a YouTube video of two doctors who said this last year and they were shut down and censored by big tech for contradicting WHO. 

But y'all still trust the media right?

The “immunity debt” phenomenon occurs because measures like lockdowns, hand-washing, social distancing and masks are not only effective at controlling Covid-19. They also suppress the spread of other illnesses that transmit in a similar way, including the flu, common cold, and lesser-known respiratory illnesses like RSA. In New Zealand, lockdowns last winter led to a 99.9% reduction in flu cases and a 98% reduction in RSV - and near-eliminated the spike of excess deaths New Zealand usually experiences during winter.

“This positive collateral effect in the short term is welcome, as it prevents additional overload of the healthcare system,” a collective of French doctors wrote in a May 2021 study of immunity debt. But in the long term, it can create problems of its own: if bacterial and viral infections aren’t circulating among children, they don’t develop immunity, which leads to larger outbreaks down the line.

We solved one problem by creating another, which we knew would happen. We have sacrificed the children (the future) for the grandparents (the past). 

Good job.

And for those who are upset that I've written that, you need to come to the realization that we all are going to go. Some sooner than others. But you NEVER sacrifice your children. You sacrifice FOR your children.

New Zealand has reported nearly 1,000 RSV cases in the past five weeks, according to the Institute of Environmental Science and Research. The usual average is 1,743 over the full 29-week winter season. Australia is also experiencing a surge, with overcrowded Victoria hospitals also hit by unusually high rates of RSV.

Victoria had some of the strictest lock downs. 

It's not like we didn't warn you.

Eric July On Failure To Protect Property Rights

 Eric July is a Libertarian. I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem with his "roads" philosophy and demonstrated why I think it's not how he thinks it is. However; grown people can disagree on points and agree on other points and his analysis o f a recent Horowitz article is a point of agreement. 

The points here is why "conservatives" continue to fail at conserving and why they are losing nation wide.

It was astonishing to me that the CDC, a body with absolutely ZERO legislative power was able to tell private property owners that they cannot charge rent. Yet they still owe property taxes (where applicable).

The reason they did it was because none of these so called conservative governors have or had the guts to say NO, not here you don't, while pointing out the CDC has no legislative power.

Also that the supreme court has repeatedly ducked cases with the excuse that the case was "moot" is also enraging. Anyone with eyes to see knows the game being played here. It takes ages for cases to make it's way to SCOTUS. Meanwhile the unconstitutional rule or law is on the books and being enforced. This is not an accident. The justices need to make a decision, pro or con,

Why You Want Long Term Data

[Updated 9:33AM]

  So the recent news from Vaccineland is that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine is only 64% effective against the "delta variant" AKA the 'India variant".

Imagine my shock.

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine appears to largely prevent hospitalization and serious cases, but is significantly less effective against preventing the spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus.

At this point do I even have to mention what else does the same thing?

New Health Ministry figures reported by the Ynet news site indicated that over the past month, the vaccine, which has been the one used for almost all vaccinated Israelis, has been just 64 percent effective in preventing coronavirus infection. The data reportedly shows that during May, when the strain was less prevalent, the vaccine was 94.3% effective.

To quote CNN: Vaccinated people are variant factories.  Speaking of, a related article :

It's like these vaccinated people are viral replication factories and disease spreaders!! Say, how many of these vaccinated people have infected un-vaccinated people?

But in all seriousness, this is why any bright person, which is hopefully those of you reading this, knew the "safe and effective" claims being shouted from every TV, radio and website that accepts advertisements, were and are bogus. There are no long term studies for any of these "vaccines". This IS the long term study and YOU who took the jab are the test subjects. What's happening here is like what happens in a casino. You walk in, put money in the machine and hit a jackpot. Instead of thinking you got lucky (what is mathematically referred to as positive variance), you think you cannot lose. Then the losing starts. 

That's what's going on here. Sure you had a nice high score in the beginning. But long term, variance happens and the floor drops out from under your vaccine and it's on the level of a flu shot.

The Ghost mentioned this....last year..like over a year ago that this was a likely outcome.

"The Delta variant, which is believed to be twice as contagious as the original strain of COVID-19, is thought to be responsible for 90% of new cases in Israel over the past two weeks."

I've been saying for over a year now that avoiding infection is a fools errand. 

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine appears to largely prevent hospitalization and serious cases, but is significantly less effective against preventing the spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus.

New Health Ministry figures reported by the Ynet news site indicated that over the past month, the vaccine, which has been the one used for almost all vaccinated Israelis, has been just 64 percent effective in preventing coronavirus infection. The data reportedly shows that during May, when the strain was less prevalent, the vaccine was 94.3% effective.

According to Ynet, the figures were presented Sunday evening at a meeting of a team of experts advising the government on its handling of the pandemic.

Meanwhile, a study from researchers at the Hebrew University and Hadassah University Medical Center indicated that the Pfizer vaccine is 60-80% effective against infection from the Delta strain.

The Delta variant, which is believed to be twice as contagious as the original strain of COVID-19, is thought to be responsible for 90% of new cases in Israel over the past two weeks.

The Health Ministry figures, however, report that the vaccine is still considerably effective against preventing serious symptoms and hospitalization. During May that figure stood at 98.2%, according to the data obtained by Ynet, and during June it was 93%.

You know what else has that same profile and isn't experimental?

The coronavirus cabinet is slated to meet Tuesday evening to weigh a series of new restrictions amid the rise in new cases. The potential steps reportedly under consideration include the return of limits on large gatherings, the reinstatement of the Green Pass, and requiring vaccinated parents of infected children to quarantine until they receive a negative test.

It really is about control. At this point in the game if you're still doing restrictions and the like, you're either just a power mad politician or someone who enjoys inflicting harm on people.

Resting Heart Rate and COVID Outcomes

Early on in the lockdowns I was advising older relatives to take note of their heartrates and that if they saw high BPMs at rest they should be concerned. As we know, the inflammatory stage of COVID wrecks the lungs and people essentially suffocate.  I want to go further into this. Below is a chart of resting heart rates  and how fit you are (or are not).

As we age past 30 or so our maximum heart rate drops. The usual calculation is 220 minus your age. For the most vulnerable group for COVID, 65+ that would mean a max heart rate of 155. And that assumes maximal fitness. If you're 80 or above, that max is 140 and again that assumes you're in max health. Now the 220 figure is not dead on accurate. As with everything else there is variance. I regularly top my alleged max heart rate so you should view that number as a guide. No way I make 220 or even 200. Those days are gone,

In addition to this is the maximum aerobic function AKA; MAF. This is the point at which your body goes into anaerobic respiration (using something other than oxygen).You get this number by subtracting your age from 180. So for our 80 year old, that's 100 BPM. For a 65 year old that's 115 bpm.

Here's the point of all this. If you're past your maximum aerobic function AND have a low max heart rate you have a very small window of operating before the stress on your system becomes critical.

So someone with a resting heart rate of 55 starts to get into oxygen problems at 100 BPM. That could be simply walking up some stairs.  Now imagine that same person with a 77 resting heart rate with a 100 max. Any stress is likely to put them into oxygen problems. Add a co-morbidity and losing lung capacity and it's curtains.

This is why, IMO, COVID takes out so many elderly people. They simply do not have the aerobic capacity and reserve to deal with losing lung capacity. It is also why rolling them over to the prone position helped.

Younger people and those who are exceptionally fit can "afford" to lose lung capacity in the short term and hence have better outcomes if they have more severe cases. Where you see young and/or fit people with very severe cases you can almost be certain there is some other underlying cause and don't count on the media to ask.

The good thing is that you can increase your MAF at any age. Get a watch or chest strap to monitor your heartrate. Set it to sound an alarm when you hit the magic number and go for a jog (or walk). Any time you hear the alarm you slow to a walk (if you're jogging or running) until your heart rate  drops back down. It will take many months if you are unfit OR have been training above your MAF habitually. 

Oh, for the record, my resting heart rate is ~55 and slips into the high 40's when I am knocked out asleep. I'm nowhere near 18 years old.

Where CNN Goes All In On COVID Xenophobia

 It's no secret I have a low opinion of CNN. CNN has once again earned it's reputation is gutter level "news" with it's latest 

I may not have written it here but I know I mentioned it on a YouTube comment that the next phase of the propaganda would be that the unvaxxed are health hazards as a pretext to force medical interventions on them which may include the use of state force and forms of public discrimination. Remember that the Nazi's did not jump from "The Jews are the problem" straight to gas chambers.  The public had to be conditioned first.

"(CNN)Unvaccinated people do more than merely risk their own health. They're also a risk to everyone if they become infected with coronavirus, infectious disease specialists say."

Remember that we have discussed, at length the fact that many people have T-Cell reactivity to COVID even though they never had contact with the virus. 

"We observed that SARS-CoV-2 T-cell response was detectable in more than 97% of convalescent COVID-19 positive subjects and in about 40% of unexposed donors sampled before the pandemic period, in agreement with previous observations [13-15]."

  and

Despite 40 to 60% of unexposed individuals showed positive SARS-CoV-2 T-cell response, less is known about its relevance in the clinical outcome of COVID-19 infected individual. In keeping with some authors, it could be speculated that the presence of cross-reactive T cells correlates with mild disease [19,20]. [My underlines]

So a large percentage of people likely have prior immunity. Where that immunity is not "total" it is likely [as of that publication] that it reduces the severity of COVID, likely due to the patient not going into the deadly inflammatory stage. 

Of course you'll find none of this "expert" writing in CNN's article because it isn't meant to inform.  But let's get back to the propaganda piece:

"That's because the only source of new coronavirus variants is the body of an infected person.

"Unvaccinated people are potential variant factories," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told CNN Friday.

Only?

Have we not covered the number of "fully vaccinated" people who have become "cases"?  

"The cluster’s index case, Case 62873, is an 88-year-old cleaner who worked at Changi Airport Terminal 3. He tested positive on May 5 despite being fully vaccinated.""

This very incident completely contradicts the CNN propaganda piece. The piece is literally FAKE NEWS.

Not only that, it also contradicts another known issue:

Studies suggest that the emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants is correlated with the absence of robust immune protection after first exposure to previous (wild-type) viruses, or even to a vaccine.^1,2 This evolution, associated with the emergence of immune escape mutants, has not only been observed with SARS-CoV-2, but also with other viruses.³

"Immune escape." 

The phrase "immune escape" is nowhere in the CNN propaganda piece. We are not surprised.

"Also, the dynamics of natural or vaccinal collective immunity in the regions where these variants emerged might have placed substantial pressure on the viral ecosystem, facilitating the emergence of a variant with enhanced transmissibility." 

 Translation: The current vaccines may not be effective long term.

"If substantial immune evasion occurs, current vaccines are likely to still offer some benefit to individuals. At the population level, however, they could induce viral selection and escape, making the prospect of achieving herd immunity increasingly remote."

"Pressure on the viral ecosystem facilitating the emergence of a variant with enhanced transmissibility" 

Translation: Vaccinated people are "variant factories".

I'll repeat my solution to this problem again: The point is to keep people from the inflammatory stage of the disease. When you have something this transmissible, trying to keep people from getting infected is a fool's errand. The way you get people to stay out of the inflammation stage is to treat early. However; you cannot treat early when you can be asymptomatic for weeks. So you instill a habit of Vit D and Zinc. Vit D is key because it predicts severity. Zinc inhibits replication. A zinc ionophore  like Quercetin helps zinc enter the cells therefore making any dose you take more effective. In this way, WHEN you get infected, your system is already inhospitable for SARS replication and thus unlikely to cause the inflammatory response while the immune system ramps up.

I don't understand how anyone is taking CNN and others seriously. After the Fauci leaks and the totaly 180 on the "lab leak theory" they should be bankrupt and off the air by now.

All CNN is doing at this point is breeding xenophobia. Don't fall for it.
