The Coronavirus Hoax

[tdj]

I'm relieved that the social upheavals and protests lately have taken this virus off of front page news, but I'll still be glad whe.mn we can all get back to normal. My local news still has stats on how many cases were diagnosed for the week and how many people died. The death toll is down to one or two a week.
I'm almost positive I had it a month ago, and felt so bad I came darn close to going to the emergency room. But I didn't mainly because of all the hysteria. I didn't want to be put on some registry forever, and I didn't want to risk being stuck in an isolated hospital bed for who knows how long. So I toughed it out and stayed home. It's a nasty bugger for sure. I had all the symptoms too.

Far-left lawmaker blasts President Trump's rally plans as 'irresponsible and selfish' — except she spoke at George Floyd rally just days earlier

Rallies apparently are acceptable to the left as long as they're for the correct reasons

Democratic U.S. Rep. Val Demings on Thursday blasted President Donald Trump's plans to hold rallies in her home state of Florida — and elsewhere — as "irresponsible and selfish" due to the coronavirus.

Trump is planning on upcoming rallies in Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and North Carolina as well.

Demings also tweeted Thursday that Florida is "experiencing a new surge in COVID-19 cases. I urge you to do everything you can to protect yourself and your neighbors. Wear a mask. Limit gatherings."

Rallies for me, but not for thee?

A number of folks were quick to point out that Demings said she spoke at a George Floyd "Hope and Healing" rally just a few days before decrying Trump's plan to hold rallies of his own:

Observers naturally were incensed at Demings' hypocrisy — which has been widespread among fellow leftists who have dispensed with attempts to defend or explain away their double standard. Namely, that protests and riots against police are OK, even though they attract massive numbers of people who end up not socially distanced, which health experts have advised against in order to contain the COVD-19 spread.

But religious services, students going to school, weddings and funerals — and protests against coronavirus lockdowns? Sorry, they're bad and will kill granny.

How did folks respond?

Commenters on Twitter took no prisoners:

"So it's ok to protest but not really? What's the freaking difference?"
"Telling the law-abiding to lock down, but rioters to run free, is the ultimate social injustice."
"Because rallies are somehow different in terms of the virus than mass gatherings for a protest?"

The new panic lie: Increased coronavirus hospitalizations and cases in the southwest
The media thinks we don't understand arithmetic.

The health "experts" and the media propagating viral panic porn [perfect term for it] think people like us don't understand arithmetic. They think they can manipulate headline stories warning of increased cases of COVID-19 in order to push more lockdowns, ignoring all the ways that more cases are being discovered, while the percentage of positive tests, new hospitalizations and deaths, and the lethality of the virus are all waning significantly.

"Arizona's COVID-19 spread is 'alarming' and action is needed, experts warn," read the title of an Arizona Republic article on Wednesday. Yahoo News breathlessly warned about a "spike" in all the southwestern states.

As is always the case, there is a grain of truth that is hugely distorted by numerous obfuscations of important facts and context. The truth is that new hospitalizations of people coming in for serious coronavirus infections are actually extremely low. What they are actually counting are the extra people coming in for all of the delayed health care caused by the lockdown. But thanks to universal testing in hospitals, they are discovering more asymptomatic cases than ever before, which had nothing to do with the original purpose of the hospital stay. Thus, they are blaming the fallout of the lockdown on the easing of the lockdown!

This chart from Arizona's coronavirus dashboard says it all.

**See full article for multiple graphs and further text (really long article)**

The media, as always, are engaging in headline panic news and fudging math that proves the exact opposite of their headlines. It's similar to what they are doing with accusations of executive force, in light of George Floyd's death, against black criminals while ignoring the fact that black criminals commit an even greater share of violent crime, which proves shooting of white criminals is even more common per capita. They think we don't understand arithmetic.

And speaking of Minneapolis, if small-scale reopening in these other states led to a spike in the virus, then don't you think jam-packed protests beginning over two weeks ago in Minneapolis would have caused a spike, rather than a drop, in hospitalizations?

Anyone who wants to attend President Trump's Tulsa rally next week has to sign a COVID-19 waiver

President Donald Trump announced this week that he was going to have his first major political rally since the start of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. The event is set for June 19 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

He and his campaign have made it clear that they do not believe that the concerns over the spread of the virus at a large gathering should preclude coming together.

Many of the campaign's backers have also noted that the president's detractors — largely on the left — suddenly rediscovered their worries about the spread COVID-19 at what is likely to be a massive gathering. Anti-Trumpers spent weeks of ignoring the disease's dangers while protests and riots went on around the nation following the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The campaign's website warns would-be rallygoers that there is a COVID-19 exposure risk if they come to the rally and that the campaign and the venue will not be held responsible if people contract the virus.

What's going on?

Health experts have repeatedly warned Americans that large gatherings are dangerous in these days of the coronavirus pandemic and that these groups exacerbate the risk of spreading the disease.

But as we all know, those warnings have been ignored by people on both ends of the political spectrum — and in between.

Experts warned about a potential spike in COVID-19 cases when Wisconsinites were going out to vote April 7. But there was no spike.

When the coronavirus oracles saw the huge crowds at Lake of the Ozarks over Memorial Day weekend, they were appalled and warned about a coming spike in COVID-19 cases. But health officials found no new cases linked to the partiers.

Pro-lockdown partisans attacked gatherings of citizens marching to demand the reopening of the economy, like the famous Michigan protests that garnered so much hate and ridicule from the left.

The ire from many on the left against those who want to be able to gather for worship services has been an ongoing source of tension.

But hypocrisy was soon to rear its head.

In the wake of the horrific death of George Floyd, the frantic warnings against public gatherings suddenly went quiet as protesters took to the street to peacefully demonstrate for police reforms — and as rioters destroyed businesses, burned buildings, and took over several blocks of a major American city.

But this week, President Trump was able to get his critics to once again remember the seriousness of the coronavirus by announcing the June 19 Tulsa rally.

And though the president's team rightfully mocked Trump's opponents' two-facedness — perhaps most notably Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), who, just days after speaking at a major George Floyd "Hope and Healing" rally, ripped the president's planned rallies as "irresponsible and selfish" — they did add a COVID-19 warning to the campaign website's rally registration.

Anyone who wants to get tickets to the Tulsa rally will see this note on the site's signup page:

By clicking register below, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury.

The move could be merely a legal CYA move for the campaign and the venue. Or it could be an admission that maybe large public gatherings aren't as safe as some would have us believe.

Jury's still out since getting a straight and consistent answer about anything COVID-related is a challenge.

This was an interesting article explaining where some of the nonsense views about chipping and vaccines are coming from.

It was interesting from, a psychological view point, as it relates to the current state of civilization, but a waste of time for anyone with two brain cells that could be rubbed together. The links lead to nothing but codswallop. I’ve seen so much information from valid sources that contradict this article, and the links provided, it doesn’t warrant discussion.

The only logical response I have to offer is that an individual who reads nothing at all is better off that an individual who reads nothing but fake news.

Gov. Cuomo threatens to shut down Manhattan; tells NYers to rat out social distancing violators
Has he not seen the protests in NYC?

New York City has experienced weeks of George Floyd protests and riots. Thousands of people crammed in close proximity, violating social distancing guidelines. A great deal of the protesters did not wear masks, and chanted protest battle cries, releasing potentially dangerous coronavirus respiratory droplets into the air. But New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo doesn't seem to be too concerned with the protests. He is very perturbed about too many patrons at restaurants, and he wants New Yorkers to rat out any businesses not following COVID-19 restrictions.

After seeing the viral video of the crowds, Cuomo unleashed fresh threats against New Yorkers. The Democratic governor vowed to shut down Manhattan and the Hamptons if throngs of people frequented bars and restaurants. Cuomo said the state received 25,000 complaints against businesses not complying with coronavirus restrictions.

"We're getting reports from all across the state that there are large gatherings. Social distancing is being violated. People are not wearing masks," Cuomo said. "Manhattan and the Hamptons are the leading areas in this state with violations. They are rampant, and there's not enough enforcement."

Cuomo threatened to put parts of the state back on complete lockdown if the behavior continued. "If local governments are not monitoring policing, doing the compliance, yes, there is a very real possibility that we would roll back the reopening of those areas."

Cuomo also threatened to pull a restaurant or bar's liquor license for not adhering to social distancing and capacity regulations.

"Local government, do your job. If we have to close, then people are going to hold you accountable," Cuomo said. "Bars and restaurants, do your job. Or you can have an SLA violation and possibly loss of your license."

Cuomo then asked citizens to rat out businesses that didn't comply with restrictions. "These are not hard-to-spot violations," he said. "People send videos of these violations."

"It's disrespectful to the health care workers and the essential workers who sacrificed themselves for 100 days. Some of whom died and gave their life to crush this COVID virus," Cuomo added. "Show a modicum of respect and wear a mask."

"We're not going to go back to that dark place because local governments didn't do their job," Cuomo promised. "If you do not [do your job], and this continues, we would have no choice but to take state action, ceasing the behavior."

New York City is in phase one of its four-stage reopening plan, and the earliest they can move to phase two would be July.

Meanwhile in Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon, thousands gathered a rally for black trans lives that was packed to the gills.

The government declared my Uncle-in-Law's funeral to be too much of a health risk for 3 dozen people, even if they all had masks on. Sorry, but it's incidents like this which are why I don't believe them when they scream about how dangerous COVID-19 is.

Easy, if there was no quarantine, far more people would be exposed (And this infected) to the virus than if there was a quarantine.

Speaking of the COVID-19 pandemic, Just Facts has a couple of interesting takes in an article by its co-founder James D. Agresti and Dr. Andrew Glen titled "Anxiety From Reactions to Covid-19 Will Destroy At Least Seven Times More Years of Life Than Can Be Saved by Lockdowns."

Scientific surveys of U.S. residents have found that the mental health of about one-third to one-half of all adults has been substantially compromised by government reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic. There are deaths from non-psychological causes, such as government-mandated and personal decisions to delay medical care, which has postponed tumor removals, cancer screenings, heart surgeries and treatments for other ailments that could lead to early death if not addressed in a timely manner. Interesting and sadly enough, New York state enacted one of the strictest lockdowns in the U.S. but has 22 times the death rate of Florida, which had one of the mildest lockdowns.

Good News: Up to 45 Percent of People With COVID-19 Have No Symptoms

Findings from the Scripps Research Institute suggest that as many as 45 percent of those infected with COVID-19 are free of symptoms.

That’s great news, proving that for many people the virus that causes COVID-19 is not that dangerous. The bad news, however, is that this statistic will be used to justify invasions of privacy as part of totalitarian schemes to track Americas who will now be viewed as a mass of “typhoid Mary” asymptomatic carriers of the pandemic plague.

The paper describing the results obtained by the study was published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Therein, the researchers described their method of conducting their study.

“From 19 April through 26 May 2020, using the keywords COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, symptoms, and asymptomatic, we periodically searched the published medical literature using the PubMed service maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health. We also searched for unpublished manuscripts using the bioRxiv and medRxiv services operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. In addition, we searched for news reports using Google and monitored relevant information shared on Twitter.”

The researchers turned up some eyebrow-raising results. In one case they found a “96% rate of asymptomatic infection among thousands of inmates in 4 state prison systems.” Even the researchers were befuddled by this, openly wondering in their paper why “might the asymptomatic infection rate in this setting be so anomalously high?”

One possible answer, they theorized, might be immunity gained in the population from exposure to other betacoronaviruses.

“One plausible factor could be cross-immunity imparted by the betacoronaviruses HCoV-OC43 and HCoV-HKU1, which has been proposed as a mitigating factor in the spread of SARS-CoV-2,” they suggested. “According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HCoV-HKU1 was active across the United States from late November 2019 through mid-February 2020. In a locked-down congregate setting like a prison, it seems possible that contagious respiratory viruses could spread rapidly, so it would be interesting to do a serosurvey for antibodies to these betacoronaviruses.”

While it is assuredly good news that this research supports the idea that most people do not have to fear health consequences from exposure to the virus, the researchers point out that, in their opinion, the results obtained by the study underscore the need for aggressive statist interventions.

“In countries like the United States that have been hardest hit by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, it has been apparent for some time that the amount of testing must be significantly and rapidly increased — perhaps by an order of magnitude or more,” they write. “With this new knowledge that a large proportion of those infected with SARS-CoV-2 have no symptoms, the urgency for more testing becomes even greater.”

Moreover, they note, people should be tested repeatedly.

“The difficulty of distinguishing asymptomatic persons from those who are merely presymptomatic is a stumbling block. To be clear, the asymptomatic individual is infected with SARS-CoV-2 but will never develop symptoms of COVID-19. In contrast, the presymptomatic individual is similarly infected but eventually will develop symptoms. The simple solution to this conundrum is longitudinal testing — that is, repeated observations of the individual over time.”

This, of course, is not really feasible, even in a thoroughgoing police state. Recognizing this, the authors of the study make other suggestions.

“Because of the high risk for silent spread by asymptomatic persons, it is imperative that testing programs include those without symptoms. To supplement conventional diagnostic testing, which is constrained by capacity, cost, and its one-off nature, innovative tactics for public health surveillance, such as crowdsourcing digital wearable data and monitoring sewage sludge, might be helpful.”

Commenting for a Scripps news release, study co-author Eric Topol, M.D., emphasized the need for massively increased testing.

“The silent spread of the virus makes it all the more challenging to control,” said Topol, who is founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute and professor of Molecular Medicine at Scripps Research. “Our review really highlights the importance of testing. It’s clear that with such a high asymptomatic rate, we need to cast a very wide net, otherwise the virus will continue to evade us.”

Was the Lockdown a Trojan Horse, Deadlier Than COVID-19?

With a death rate similar to the flu, was COVID-19 a trojan horse designed to disorient you to accept the 'new normal' while giving up freedom of speech, religion, the right to work and other constitutional rights - without stopping to think through the ramifications?


How Fear of a Virus Changed Our World
Analysis by Barbara Loe Fisher

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
• During the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans who value freedom of speech, religion, assembly, privacy and the right to work have given up those constitutional rights, without stopping to think through the ramifications of the larger precedent being set
• Why did U.S. public health officials persuade lawmakers to almost immediately lock down and home quarantine most of our population instead of using traditional disease control measures that identify, quarantine and treat the sick?
• As we let go of fear and return to rational thinking, it is opening up a public conversation about science, health and liberty that is going viral, despite attempts by Big Pharma and Big Tech working with governments and mainstream media to censor it
• When you go to the polls November 3, 2020, think hard about who you are voting for and why. If you don’t like the response to the COVID-19 pandemic that your governor or other elected representatives have made, your vote in this and every election beyond this one could affect whether America will continue to value liberty or throw it away
• If the state can tag, track down and force individuals to be injected with biologicals of known and unknown toxicity today, there will be no limit on which individual freedoms the state can take away in the name of the greater good tomorrow
Fear is a primal biological response to a perceived threat to our survival. Fear triggers momentary paralysis and then a fight or flight reaction before the brain can rationally analyze and calibrate our response to a perceived threat.1
Right now, people around the world are living in fear of being infected or infecting someone else with a new coronavirus that can kill those most vulnerable without warning. Along with confusion and uncertainty, which prolong fear, many of us are traumatized by the authoritarian measures governments have taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in China in late 2019.
The "new normal" is disorienting, like we have taken a hit to the gut and then to the head that we didn't see coming. Maybe that is why so many Americans, who value freedom of speech, religion, assembly, privacy and the right to work, have given those constitutional rights up, without stopping to think through the ramifications of the larger precedent being set.
We are slowly coming out of shock five months after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control declared a public health emergency on January 31,2 which escalated six weeks later into a social distancing lockdown when the World Health Organization declared a COVID-19 pandemic on March 11.3
Questions About the Lockdown Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
There are lots of questions being asked now about whether the lockdown response to the new coronavirus has matched the threat, questions like:
• Why did the U.S. fail to immediately screen people at sea ports and airports for illness as soon as the outbreak was identified in China and got worse in February so they could be quarantined and tested?4,5,6,7,8
• At the beginning of the pandemic, why were Americans told masks were useless and to stop buying and wearing them, when now we are told we must wear masks?9,10,11,12
• Why were U.S. emergency supply warehouses, which were supposed to be stocked with pandemic preparedness equipment for health care workers, completely empty?13
• Why were residents of nursing homes and other crowded medical facilities not effectively screened and tested to make sure the sick were not being housed with the healthy?14,15,16,17
• Why did U.S. public health officials persuade lawmakers to almost immediately lockdown and home quarantine most of our population,18 instead of using traditional disease control measures that identify, quarantine and treat the sick?19,20,21,22


Opening Up Conversation About Science, Health and Liberty
As we let go of fear and return to rational thinking, it is opening up a public conversation about science, health and liberty that is going viral, despite attempts by Big Pharma and Big Tech working with governments and mainstream media to censor it.23,24,25,26,27

In the United States of America, we live in a constitutional republic where democratically elected representatives make laws, and state governments are a check and balance on the authority of the federal government.28

American values and beliefs, which have influenced the adoption of human rights in international law,29,30,31,32 are embedded in the 1776 Declaration of Independence33 and codified in the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.34
Americans value autonomy and individuality. We believe each person is a unique and independent individual with an inalienable right to life and liberty.35 We value the human right to freedom of thought, expression and belief; freedom of conscience and association; and respect for privacy — all civil liberties that limit the power of government.36
We value equal opportunity for all and mobility within society based on individual initiative and hard work, not on hierarchy, inherited privilege or government permission.37 We are a pragmatic and adaptable people who value the use of common sense and practical solutions to problem solve, achieve and succeed.38

We are a generous people and believe that voluntarily helping others by donating our money and time is a personal choice motivated by charity, not by communal expectation or a legal requirement.39 Above all, we are a self-reliant, optimistic people with an indomitable spirit and faith in our ability to overcome adversity individually and as a nation.40,41,42

Some of the core values, which have shaped our history and defined who we are as a nation, have been put on trial in 2020 because we are paralyzed by fear of a virus that doctors say could be hiding in the breath of every person who comes near us and contaminate everything we touch.43,44

Often described in military and apocalyptic terms as a war for human survival against an "invisible enemy,"45,46,47,48 the authoritarian lockdown approach by governments to the coronavirus pandemic has been framed as a choice between safety and liberty.

In horror, we watched the coronavirus pandemic unfold in February 2020 with Chinese officials either chasing citizens suspected of being infected with the virus into the streets and dragging them away to quarantine camps, or using hammers, nails and blocks of wood to barricade families into their apartments.49,50,51,52

Then, after scientists and U.S. public health officials used mathematical models to warn lawmakers to lock down the U.S. or prepare for between 1.7 and 2.2 million Americans to die of COVID-19,53,54,55 we were filled with an uncommon fear and uncertainty that continues to haunt our lives.

The Fear of Public Spaces and Getting Too Close to Each Other
As most states emerge from months of quarantining people in their homes and shuttering businesses,56 many Americans are still afraid to enter a public space because we are warned over and over again that the invisible enemy will kill us if we don't stay 6 feet away from each other at all times, even outdoors.57

Parents have been urged not to hug their children if a member in their family has been exposed to the virus.58 In one city, government officials told residents to take photos and report fellow citizens who violate social distancing rules by getting too close to each other outside.59

We see fellow Americans being arrested for not wearing masks60,61 or for walking on deserted beaches,62,63 or for taking their children to empty playgrounds.64,65 Small business owners, who are struggling to feed their families, are being sent to jail for reopening without government permission.66

Food banks are running out of food because families, some who have never stood in a food bank line in their lives, have no other choice.67 It doesn't feel right, but most of us comply with the new rules, afraid to be the one who gets a dirty look or is yelled at or arrested — or worse — if we don't comply.

COVID-19 Mortality Estimates Far Exceed Reality
Since the World Health Organization declared a coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 and CDC officials predicted it could kill 1.7 million Americans, by May 22, 2020, there had been 335,000 COVID-19 reported deaths among the world's 7 billion people, with about 96,000 of those deaths reported in the U.S.68

How the death toll would have been affected if global lockdowns had not taken place to try to slow the infection rate and delay population-based herd immunity will be debated for years to come.69

Although the vast majority of COVID-19 infections are thought to be asymptomatic, data show the estimated symptomatic infection-mortality rate in America is currently at most 1.3 %.70,71,72,73 About 90 % of people who die are over 65 years old, with the majority of those people suffering with one or more chronic poor health conditions like heart or lung disease, obesity, diabetes and hypertension.74

More than 80% of children who die from COVID-19 also suffer with chronic illness and disabilities like immune suppression, obesity, diabetes, seizures, developmental delays and genetic disorders.75,76

We all hope to live long and productive lives, but nobody escapes death and, for some, it comes sooner than expected. The sudden unexpected death of a person for any reason is a tragedy, especially for that person's family and friends.
The deaths of tens of thousands during this pandemic or any pandemic is a tragedy. The feelings of loss and helplessness are magnified when individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 die alone, separated from their families, denied the comfort of taking their last breath in the company of people they love and who love them.77
Are We Really All in This Together?

Whether the new coronavirus jumped out of an animal in a Chinese live food market78 or escaped from a biohazard lab,79,80 whether the virus kills an estimated 1 to 2% of those symptomatically infected or far less,81 this year billions of people around the world have followed the advice of the World Health Organization, government health agencies and doctors, who tell us that this "invisible common enemy" must be vanquished using any means possible because, collectively, "we are all in this together."82

Public health officials have persuaded lawmakers to divide the American people into two classes: those who are considered "essential" and allowed to continue working and those who are considered "nonessential" and barred from earning a living.83,84,85,86

Small businesses and services judged to be "nonessential" have been forced to close their doors, including day cares, schools, churches, restaurants, theaters, barber shops and salons, gyms, parks and beaches while, paradoxically, everyone is free to roam through grocery stores, drug stores and big box stores like Walmart, Target and Home Depot, owned by big corporations.

Mass Suffering Generated by Widespread 'Sheltering in Place'
Tens of millions of healthy Americans have obeyed orders to "shelter in place" and self-quarantine at home for months, sacrificing their jobs and losing their savings,87,88,89 destroying one-third of the small businesses middle class citizens have worked a lifetime to build,90,91 while parts of the travel,92,93,94,95,96 restaurant,97 retail98,99 and personal care industries100 go bankrupt.

By the end of May, there were more than 38 million Americans unemployed, representing almost 24% of the labor force, and most of them are hourly low-wage earners who don't have savings to pay the rent or buy food while they are out of work.101,102,103

So, the homeless rate in the U.S. is projected to increase by 45% this year, with almost 1 million people homeless by the summer.104 At the same time, Congress is driving up the national debt in an attempt to delay the complete collapse of our economy by using taxpayer money to pay people to stay away from each other.105

Fear of a virus has prevented people sick with heart disease, cancer and other health problems from being treated in hospitals that have been told to only treat patients infected with COVID-19.106,107

Neglected children and battered women have been trapped for months in homes with their abusers, while calls to mental health hotlines from depressed, anxiety-ridden and suicidal children and adults have increased by nearly 900%108,109,110,111 and, in some cities, prison inmates — even those charged with violent crimes — are being released from jail with the justification they should not be exposed to COVID-19.112,113

With our children locked out of classrooms and the faithful blocked from worshiping in churches, synagogues and mosques, fear has stopped most of us from publicly questioning the premise that the price of safety is liberty.114,115,116,117,118,119

Few have challenged the mantra repeated over and over again by doctors and politicians in positions of power that this dystopian reality we are now living in will be the "new normal"120 until we are all tested and everyone is vaccinated when a COVID-19 vaccine is available because then, and only then, will it be "safe" for government to give back at least some of the liberty that has been taken from us.121,122,123,124,125

What we have allowed to be done in the name of public health has no parallel in American history or human history.
No Lockdowns for Past Epidemics and Pandemics

The world did not lock down during centuries of epidemics of smallpox, which was a highly contagious virus and had a case fatality rate of 30%.126 Americans did not stop working to prevent epidemics of diphtheria when that contagious disease swept through communities in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with a mortality rate of between 5% and 10% that was even higher for children.127

Societies have not closed businesses and schools to prevent tuberculosis, a contagious disease that spreads the same way as coronavirus and has a case fatality rate still between 20% and 70%.128,129
In 1918, state governors did not order healthy people to shelter in place and put tens of millions of Americans out of work during the Spanish flu pandemic, when that highly contagious H1N1 influenza virus had a case fatality rate of more than 2.5%.130

So, why are the majority of people in educated societies like the U.S. cowering in fear before a virus that does not cause any symptoms or complications in the majority of children and adults under the age of 65, and has a mortality rate of about 1%, which is even lower if all the asymptomatic infections are counted?131
In America, why are we allowing fear to erode cultural values and beliefs that have sustained and defined who we are as a nation for 245 years?

1982: Challenge to Vaccine Science, Policy, Law and Ethics
The profound ramifications of what is happening this year in the name of public health and the slippery slope that has been created is expanding the conversation about science, health and liberty that has been going on for several centuries in academic, philosophical and political circles,132,133,134,135,136,137 but didn't go public in post-World War II America until 1982, when parents of vaccine injured children challenged the science, policy, law and ethics of mandatory vaccination, the most revered of all medical interventions in the history of public health programs.138
Mothers and fathers, whose children died or were brain injured in the 1970s and '80s by the crude whole cell pertussis vaccine in DPT, had simple goals: We wanted safer vaccines, more and better quality scientific research to identify those children at high risk for being harmed by vaccination, and the inclusion of informed consent protections in public health policies and laws.139,140,141,142

At first, defensive vaccine manufacturers, public health officials and pediatricians met our request for safer vaccines and better science with anger and dismissal.143 Before Congress passed the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act giving vaccine makers a partial liability shield, but also acknowledging that vaccine safety should be a national priority,144,145 we were patronized. Then, when we refused to go away, we were demonized.146,147,148,149,150
Today, any person who talks about their or their child's vaccine reaction or criticizes one-size-fits-all vaccine policies is called ignorant.151,152 Any person who points out how low vaccine licensing standards are or how big the long-standing gaps in vaccine safety research are, is accused of being a science denier and slapped with the "anti-vaxxer" label.153,154

If you question the orders of doctors, who believe it is moral to enforce "no exceptions" vaccine laws that sacrifice vaccine vulnerable children in the name of the greater good, you are called "selfish" for defending the ethical principle of informed consent and refusing to offer up your child's health for herd immunity.155
If you protest against vaccine policies that deny people an education, medical care and employment based on their vaccination status, you are called a danger to society.156 If you criticize information disseminated by the CDC and World Health Organization, you are branded a threat to global health and can be censored on the internet or far worse.157,158,159,160,161

Strategies Creating a 'New Normal' During COVID-19 Pandemic
Does this sound familiar? It should, because it is the same rhetoric and political tactics being used during this COVID-19 pandemic to keep the people fearful and compliant.

It is the same strategy that will be used to label you a selfish threat to the public health if you don't agree to be electronically tagged, tested and tracked by health officials when thousands of COVID-19 "contact tracers" fan out across America to test for COVID-19 infections.162,163,164

It is the same strategy that will be used when you are told you must get an antibody test and obtain an "immunity passport"165 before you are given back your freedom to participate in society — that is until a fast-tracked coronavirus vaccine is licensed and your passport to life and liberty becomes proof you have received a COVID-19 vaccine — perhaps simultaneously delivered and tracked via a microneedle quantum dot tattoo on your skin.166

Will a positive antibody test be accurate167 or does it even matter? Every day, we hear scientists and public health officials arguing about whether or not naturally acquired coronavirus immunity means anything at all,168,169,170,171 while promoting the idea that a COVID-19 vaccine is the only thing that will give us immunity and save us all.172,173
Tomorrow, the "new normal" in America may well include the order to "show me your vaccine papers"174,175 before you can enter a store or restaurant, go to school, attend a football game, get on a plane, train or subway, obtain a driver's license, be admitted to a hospital or nursing home, get a room at a hotel or walk on a public beach, if health policy and lawmakers do not use common sense to adopt a more balanced approach to dealing with a virus that, so far, has changed everything.176,177,178,179

There is no oversight180 on the decisions we allow scientists and doctors with big titles and even bigger salaries to make decisions for us181,182,183 that can affect the biological integrity of each one of us and profoundly impact the way we live our lives
.
Yet, science is not perfect, doctors are not infallible and the risks of having a complication to an infectious disease or a vaccine can be higher or lower depending upon the genes and epigenetic history we inherit, the environments we live in and the life choices we make.184,185,186,187

Health Defined by Absence of Chronic Disease and Disability
The health of a society is not solely measured by the absence of infectious disease but, more importantly, by the absence of chronic disease that destroys quality of life and lowers a nation's life expectancy because it often leads to premature death.

In America every year, heart disease kills 647,000 people; lung disease kills 160,000; uncontrolled hypertension and stroke kills 146,000, and diabetes kills 83,000 people,188 while millions more suffer cancer189 and other types of immune and brain disorders.190

America has the worst life expectancy,191 the worst infant mortality192 and maternal mortality193 rates and the highest prevalence of chronic illness and disability194 of all developed nations in the world, even though we have one of the most highly vaccinated populations in the world,195 with over 94% of school children having received dozens of doses of vaccines for the past three decades.196,197

Today only 4 adults in 10 are considered healthy, while over 50% have one chronic disease and 30% suffer with two or more.198 An astonishing 25% of all children have a chronic poor health condition199 such as asthma, epilepsy, food allergies, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease and other autoimmune disorders, developmental delays, autism, anxiety and depression and diabetes.200

In fact, chronic disease marked by unresolved inflammation in the body201,202 is the No. 1 cause of death and disability in America and is responsible for most of the annual $3.5 trillion spent on health care.203 It is an epidemic that is crippling and killing far more people than COVID-19 or any other pandemic in our history.
U.S. public health officials have no explanation for why the majority of Americans are sick, except to blame the people for making themselves sick by smoking and drinking too much, eating junk food and not getting enough exercise or sleep.204

COVID-19 Mortality in U.S. Impacted by Multiple Failures
Whether or not you buy that explanation, the fact that over 160 million people in our population are afflicted with chronic poor health may be at least one reason why there have been more COVID-19 related deaths reported in the U.S. than any other country.

That, along with the fact that on March 24, the CDC told doctors and coroners to list COVID-19 as the official cause of death for a person, even if that person had one or more chronic health conditions or had never been tested for COVID-19.205

Mortality from COVID-19 in the U.S. has also been impacted by the systematic neglect of well-funded federal health agencies like the CDC and BARDA.206,207 The government was caught totally unprepared for an influenza-like pandemic, despite Congress and three Administrations appropriating billions of dollars to federal health agencies since 2006 to prepare for a pandemic just like this one.208

Instead, warehouses were left empty without emergency supplies of masks, gowns and gloves for health care workers209 and without diagnostic tests, equipment and therapeutic agents to help patients survive complications associated with an epidemic of a viral respiratory disease like coronavirus.210

That is because federal health agencies, which have forged public-private business partnerships with the pharmaceutical industry,211 have given most of the money Congress handed them for pandemic planning to drug companies to build new vaccine manufacturing plants and produce more vaccines for the national stockpile.212,213
As the World Health Organization, the CDC, businessman Bill Gates and NIH's Dr. Anthony Fauci keep telling us, using lots of vaccines is the best way to stay healthy and fast-tracking a COVID-19 vaccine to market is the only way the world will ever be a safe place to live again.214,215,216

Pharma, Governments Cut Corners to Develop COVID-19 Vaccines
So, global pharmaceutical and biotech companies are now developing over 100 experimental COVID-19 vaccines, with a handful leading the race after being given billions of dollars in funding from the U.S. government, the Gates Foundation and other organizations.217,218

Some of these coronavirus vaccines being created by scientists will use as yet unlicensed DNA, messenger RNA and nanoparticle technology, oil-based adjuvants and electricity, to genetically manipulate and hyperstimulate strong inflammatory immune responses in the body.219,220

Some companies are skipping animal trials,221 which are an important part of the vaccine licensing process to answer questions about whether COVID-19 vaccines could cause neurological reactions or more severe coronavirus infections in vaccinated animals, or fail to work at all. These are only a few of the short and long term problems that could have devastating consequences for humans being vaccinated.

Some companies are cutting corners by conducting Phase 1, 2 and 3 trials simultaneously, but will they investigate whether half of U.S. adults and a quarter of children suffering with chronic illness are at increased risk for adverse responses to the new COVID-19 vaccines BEFORE they are licensed and mandated?

Elected lawmakers in your state can choose to mandate a few or many vaccines with or without exemptions, while the federal government has the authority to mandate vaccinations for people entering the U.S. or crossing state borders.
Other vaccine manufacturers want the green light to deliberately infect human clinical trial subjects with COVID-19 to see how well an experimental vaccine works.222

Enthusiastic "bioethicists" are jumping on board to help advance this type of "new normal" in vaccine research, but parents of vaccine injured children are logically asking why it is ethical to intentionally infect humans with a new virus in a clinical trial when for decades public health officials have insisted that it is absolutely unethical to conduct a prospective clinical trial comparing health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children to determine whether vaccines are harming far more than "one in a million."223,224

So, while we are being ordered to obey new rules that require us to give up our constitutional and human rights, drug companies and government health officials are violating old rules that govern ethics and the scientific method for proving that vaccines are safe and effective.225

Jacobson v. Massachusetts: A Ruling With Tragic Consequences
Science is not perfect, doctors are not infallible and vaccines carry risks that can be greater for some than others, which is why voluntary vaccination should have been unanimously upheld in the 1905 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Jacobson v. Massachusetts.226

Instead, the majority sitting on that high court more than a century ago viewed the notoriously reactive smallpox vaccine as a sacred cow and medical doctors as infallible so they could affirm the constitutional authority of state legislatures to mandate smallpox vaccinations during outbreaks. The court said:
"The matured opinions of medical men everywhere, and the experience of mankind, as all must know, negative the suggestion that it is not possible in any case to determine whether vaccination is safe."
Using bad logic and bad science while leaning heavily on the pseudo-ethic of utilitarianism, state governments were given the green light to legally require vaccination based on a "common belief" that vaccination is safe and effective, rather than proven fact.

Piously waving the greater good flag to justify throwing civil liberties out the door, the court majority ruled that citizens do not have a legal right to be free at all times because there are "manifold restraints to which every person is necessarily subjected for the common good."

The Court said that state legislatures can exercise police power to restrict or eliminate civil liberties, including freedom of religion, during public health emergencies in order to "secure the general comfort, health and prosperity of the state."
But the justices also warned that mandatory vaccination laws should not be forced on a person whose physical condition would make vaccination "cruel and inhuman to the last degree." They said:
"We are not to be understood as holding that the statute was intended to be applied in such a case or, if it was so intended, that the judiciary would not be competent to interfere and protect the health and life of the individual concerned. 'All laws,' this Court has said, "should receive a sensible construction."

One academic activist attorney has said that the 1905 Jacobson ruling "is often regarded as the most important judicial decision in public health."227 That is not an overstatement because, in 1927, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes used it to issue a eugenics ruling in Buck v. Bell that affirmed the constitutional authority of Virginia to forcibly sterilize a young woman mistakenly judged by state officials to be mentally retarded.228

Justice Holmes declared, "The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the fallopian tubes," leading the way for mass sterilization of tens of thousands of Americans that doctors and government officials judged to be genetically defective, or morally unfit or otherwise a threat to the public health during the 1920s and '30s.229

This is the tragic legacy of Jacobson v. Masschusetts,230 an immoral utilitarian ruling that public health officials cling to in order to justify legally requiring people to use vaccines that carry a risk of injury or death and applying societal punishments for refusing to do it.231,232

State Legislators Primarily Make Most Public Health Laws
During this time of fear and confusion, the Jacobson ruling also reminds us that it is democratically elected representatives in state legislatures who make public health laws governing people living in different states. That is because what is not defined in the U.S. Constitution as a federal activity is reserved for the states, which is an important check on federal government power.

Elected lawmakers in your state can choose to mandate a few or many vaccines with or without exemptions, while the federal government has the authority to mandate vaccinations for people entering the U.S. or crossing state borders.233

It was this understanding that prompted NVIC in 2010 to launch our free online Advocacy Portal at NVICAdvocacy.org that monitors proposed vaccine-related legislation and helps Americans educate lawmakers so flexible medical, religious and conscience vaccine exemptions can be secured and protected in public health laws.

Despite aggressive lobbying efforts by vaccine manufacturers, public health officials and medical trade groups, until 2020, vaccine exemptions and informed consent rights have been successfully defended in multiple states over the past decade, even though California, New York and several other states have taken those rights away.234

Now, it looks like voluntary vaccination will be on the line in every state as the Vaccine Culture War,235 which is the tip of the spear in a much larger culture war about values and beliefs going on in this and many other countries in the 21st century, is brought home to every person and every community in America.

Contact Your Legislators Now and Vote in November
You have an opportunity, right now, to contact your elected representatives and let them know how you feel about protecting civil liberties and vaccine informed consent rights in your state. Sign up to use NVIC's Advocacy Portal to defend voluntary vaccine choices.

And, when you go to the polls November 3, 2020, think hard about who you are voting for and why. If you don't like the response to the COVID-19 pandemic that your governor or other elected representatives have made, your vote in this and every election beyond this one could affect whether America will continue to value liberty or throw it away.
Because if the state can tag, track down and force individuals to be injected with biologicals of known and unknown toxicity today, then there will be no limit on which individual freedoms the state can take away in the name of the greater good tomorrow.

Be the one who never has to say you did not do today what you could have done to change tomorrow. It's your health, your family, your choice, and our mission continues: No forced vaccination. Not in America.

Speaking of the COVID-19 pandemic, Just Facts has a couple of interesting takes in an article by its co-founder James D. Agresti and Dr. Andrew Glen titled "Anxiety From Reactions to Covid-19 Will Destroy At Least Seven Times More Years of Life Than Can Be Saved by Lockdowns."

Scientific surveys of U.S. residents have found that the mental health of about one-third to one-half of all adults has been substantially compromised by government reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic. There are deaths from non-psychological causes, such as government-mandated and personal decisions to delay medical care, which has postponed tumor removals, cancer screenings, heart surgeries and treatments for other ailments that could lead to early death if not addressed in a timely manner. Interesting and sadly enough, New York state enacted one of the strictest lockdowns in the U.S. but has 22 times the death rate of Florida, which had one of the mildest lockdowns. By Walter E.Williams June 2, 2020

I was going to mention that, then suicides ("2 weeks now = a year normal;" don't know if it holds up everywhere), spouse abuse, child abuse, loss of income and all the health and mental problems that result/ will result from that, job loss, and more.

The real-life science/ cases doesn't seem to hold up with the theory. (I'm sure there are other variables, but if real life HAD matched up, I can't help but imagine that those variables would have been tossed out the window.)

New York Undercover Nurse Confirms Virus Criminal Hoax
The video has a tendency to be taken down, aka, censored. Watch it while you can.

Powerful testimonial and even recordings of other nurses and doctors/residents. Wow. I hope that such insanely unethical practices stop and are not being practiced elsewhere, but I fear they may be or have been.

It’s scary to think how some in the medical field will blindly follow unethical orders that lead to “legal” murder. It’s also interesting how despite hydroxychloroquine with zinc and blood thinner successfully treated many patients at multiple healthcare facilities yet the NY governor banned it - saying it should be preserved only for those in critical states despite it being more useful in earlier stages. Makes me wonder if there will be a more lethal pandemic (this covid was as Gates suggested, “military games pandemic” practice) and they want it to be around... & also all attempts are being made to inflate #’s to justify global shut downs/paranoia.

Even Trump has switched from focus on actual treatment of hydroxychloroquine to vaccine$.

Do a simple google search

Type any 3 digit number with new cases and you will find an area with that exact number of cases reported as new.

examples
532 new cases
328 new cases
747 new cases

it's probably nothing, but funny none-the-less

There are 3141 counties in America and we have dealing with the pandemic for about 120 days roughly so there should be 376920 daily county reports, but there is only 1000 different 3 digit numbers. So it is not surprising at all that there are places with any given 3 digit case numbers. Still fun though. (what struck me as even more surprising was that the number of counties is also the first four digits of pi)

We're going into full retard mode with this thing. Maricopa county has mandated everyone over 2 y.o. to wear masks. Little kids at library entrances are having fits ripping masks off their parents try to put on.

You can't talk any sense to some people
1 - A WHO official recently confirmed a truth common to essentially all diseases: asymptomatic people rarely transmit corona virus.

2 - fatality is .26% or less according to CDC for people contracting the illness and likely much less due to method of attributing deaths

3 - the early computer model used, which predicted 10's of millions of deaths and which caused the extreme measures now taken, has been shown to be a complete piece of garbage software. It was widely lambasted as spaghetti code giving different results each time it was run with same inputs.

4 - Mask wearing is actually damaging to health. Oxygen levels in the space within the mask can easily drop below 19% which violate's OSHA oxygen-level safety standards for workers. This can lead to hypercapnia (build up of CO2 in body) and cause dizziness, possible loss of consciousness, and seizures.

5 - Governor's, county officials and mayors cannot make laws - only the state legislature can. But they cannot create or hope to have laws enforced that violate inalienable constitutional rights.

Warp Speed COVID-19 Vaccine Makes Big Pharma Crooks Rich
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
June 23, 2020

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
• Two Moderna executives cashed in $25 million when stock prices rose immediately following the announcement that its COVID-19 phase 1 trial showed promising results
• Stock dropped within days, as critics pointed out the results were likely misrepresented and actually quite alarming
• Twenty percent of Moderna’s phase 1 volunteers suffered severe systemic side effects. With a reaction rate of 20%, vaccinating the global population would gravely injure at least 1.5 billion individuals, and likely more, since only exceptionally healthy volunteers were included
• The most hazardous hurdle for Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine lies ahead. Past attempts at creating coronavirus vaccines have failed, as both animal and human subjects would develop robust antibody responses but then become gravely ill when exposed to the wild virus. In some animal studies, all the animals died upon exposure to the wild virus
• Coronaviruses have been shown to produce two different types of antibodies: neutralizing antibodies that fight the infection, and binding antibodies that cannot prevent viral infection. Binding antibodies can instead trigger “paradoxical immune enhancement,” causing severe illness and/or death when exposed to the wild virus

Moderna's Phase 1 Trial
1 in 5 Subjects Suffered Serious Systemic Events

“Past attempts at developing COVID vaccines have always faltered at this stage as both humans and animals achieved robust antibody response then sickened and died when exposed to the wild virus.”

I'm relieved that the social upheavals and protests lately have taken this virus off of front page news, but I'll still be glad whe.mn we can all get back to normal. My local news still has stats on how many cases were diagnosed for the week and how many people died. The death toll is down to one or two a week.
I'm almost positive I had it a month ago, and felt so bad I came darn close to going to the emergency room. But I didn't mainly because of all the hysteria. I didn't want to be put on some registry forever, and I didn't want to risk being stuck in an isolated hospital bed for who knows how long. So I toughed it out and stayed home. It's a nasty bugger for sure. I had all the symptoms too.

And you certainly didn't want to have a forced intubation w/oxygen pressure set over safe limits.
