All these people who are protecting themselves by wearing masks and/or quarantining themselves will be particularly hard hit, because they're not allowing herd immunity to assert itself. When I went to the supermarket earlier I noticed that it was younger people more than anyone else who were wearing masks. "Great certainty" of second coronavirus wave, health experts warn
By Joe Buchanan | Posted: Wed 4:59 PM, May 06, 2020 | Updated: Wed 5:56 PM, May 06, 2020 Governor Jim Justice is easing the aggressiveness of his reopening strategy. "We know that as we go back out again, we have to be extra careful," said Dr. Clay Marsh, West Virginia's coronavirus czar, during Governor Justice's daily COVID-19 briefing Tuesday. While COVID-19 cases are starting to level off in West Virginia, health experts say a second wave of cases is expected. "In [my opinion] it is with great certainty that there will be waves of this virus in the months ahead. It is the uncertainty as to the intesity of the waves," said Dr. Mark Povroznick, Chief Quality Officer and Chairman of Infection Control at United Hospital Center. While coronavirus is expected to continue spreading, Dr. Kathy Moffett, Director of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at WVU Medicine says we can still take advantage of the reopening. "We can still go get haircuts and go to some of the stores that are open and business, come to the doctor - but we do it safely. So that we are respecting the social distancing. I am wearing a mask, I am washing my hands, I am taking hand sanitizer," said Dr. Moffett. A vital aspect of reopening and fighting the second wave of spread is monitoring testing results. "If you have a registry and you have a way to really look at testing data very quickly, it is useful to see if you start to see a bit of an uptick in transmissions," said Dr. Sally Hodder, professor and director of West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Dr. Hodder worked with WVU Medicine to create a registry of COVID-19 testing, both in positive and negative results. "I think it is going to be very important for second wave to look and see if there is increased transmissability going on before we have the hospitals full," said Dr. Hodder. She is also working with agencies nationwide to compile this registry with other state registries to create a national picture of COVID-19 spread. Video at link

If You Are Under Age 29 You Are More Likely to Drown than Die from Coronavirus
By Jim Hoft Published May 16, 2020 at 9:03pm The number of deaths from coronavirus in the US has been plummeting since mid April. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) there were 78 coronavirus deaths in the United State in the 0 to 29-year-old age group this year. The numbers were totaled from the week ending Feb. 1 2020 to May 9, 2020 during the current outbreak. Those coronavirus victims under age 60 are also likely to have at least one comorbidity. In the United States since 1999, an average of more than 815 children ages 14 and under have died as a result of unintentional drowning each year. Using these numbers it is safe to say a child or young adult under 29 is eight times more likely to die from drowning than die from the coronavirus in America. Luke Johnson, former chairman of Pizza Express and Channel 4, took it a step further this week arguing if you’re under 60 with no underlying health conditions you’re more likely to drown than die of COVID-19. It is absolutely insane that Dr. Fauci and the CDC are pushing the notion that schools need to remain closed due to this virus. Fauci’s coronavirus lockdown may go down as the most disastrous public health policy in US history. link

Horowitz: New study demonstrates how low coronavirus fatality rate is outside nursing homes
Daniel Horowitz · May 20, 2020 Virus We no longer need to rely on unicorn simulation models to predict the threat level of COVID-19. After millions of global cases, we now have reams of hard data. In recent days, two things have become clear: 1) The overall death rate is dramatically inflated with people who died only with COVID-19 – not because of it – especially in nursing homes; 2) Outside nursing homes, the fatality rate is low even for most seniors and shockingly low for younger and healthier people. This destroys politicians’ reasons for pushing the irrevocably harmful actions taken by our government rather than a more strategic and targeted approach. To begin with, the media and politicians are still promoting high overall infection fatality rates (IFR), such as the World Health Organization’s estimate of 3.4%. But we’ve seen enough random sampling from serological antibody tests, corroborated by hard data from prisons and navy ships, to demonstrate that the virus spread earlier, wider, and more asymptomatically than previously thought, thereby driving the fatality rate much lower. A new analysis averaging all the major antibody tests indicates that the average overall fatality rate (including nursing home deaths) is 0.2%. Why have our policies not been updated to reflect that reality? This week, Dr. John P.A. Ioannidis published a preprint (before peer review) analysis averaging the fatality rates reflected in the extrapolation of all the serology tests with a sample size larger than 500 and that were randomly sampled (as opposed to health care workers). These tests measure the seroprevalence – the prevalence of antibodies for the virus in a given population – through some degree of random sampling. Based on these random samples, the Stanford professor of medicine, epidemiology, biomedical data science, and statistics concluded that the fatality rate ranges from 0.02% to 0.40%. That is a range of seven times less deadly or 2.8 times more deadly than seasonal influenza. The mean IFR is 0.2%, right around the result we saw from the first U.S. serology studies in Santa Clara, Los Angeles, and Miami Dade Counties. That is 17 times less deadly than what the World Health Organization originally predicted and 4.5 times less deadly than the Imperial College study assumed! The study included data from 12 antibody tests conducted in different countries, from the U.S. and Brazil to China, Japan, Iran, and several European countries. They collectively show that the virus is exponentially more prevalent, often presenting asymptomatically, than the confirmed case tally indicates. Ioannidis further notes that most of these surveys likely understate the number of infections (and therefore overstate the fatality rate) because several of them were of blood plasma donors, who tend to be healthier people. Also, the virus seems to be particularly widespread in nursing homes, in prisons, and among disadvantaged minorities, which Ioannidis believes were underrepresented in these samples. He noted that this was especially true in the Santa Clara study conducted by his Stanford colleagues, which seemed to disproportionately attract wealthy volunteers. Nonetheless, he concludes: Interestingly, despite their differences in design, execution, and analysis, most studies provide IFR point estimates that are within a relatively narrow range. Seven of the 12 inferred IFRs are in the range 0.07 to 0.20 (corrected IFR of 0.06 to 0.16) which are similar to IFR values of seasonal influenza. Three values are modestly higher (corrected IFR of 0.25-0.40 in Gangelt, Geneva, and Wuhan) and two are modestly lower than this range (corrected IFR of 0.02-0.03 in Kobe and Oise). Ioannides observes that two of the three antibody studies with the higher range were in cities with super-spreading events in the lead-up to the infection peak, and Wuhan had a situation where hospitals were overrun. Obviously, New York’s experience was an outlier, so the antibody test conducted by the state (which indicates an IFR of at least 0.6% for New York City) was not included in his analysis. He chalks up the more severe outcome in places like New York City and northern Italy to an amalgamation of factors that fed on each other, including: hospitals reaching capacity, large numbers of medical providers becoming infected and spreading it in the hospitals, use of unnecessarily aggressive ventilation treatment, and in the case of NYC, in particular, “an extremely busy, congested public transport system that may have exposed large segments of the population to high infectious load in close contact transmission and, thus, perhaps more severe disease.” Continued at link

Many US states have seen LOWER infection rates after ending lockdowns that are are now destroying millions of livelihoods worldwide, JP Morgan study claims
A JP Morgan study suggests lockdown measures have not only resulted in economic devastation but could have also resulted in more COVID-19 deaths Strict stay-at-home orders put in place in most states to stop the spread two months ago has so far seen nearly 39 million American lose their jobs There are now more than 1.6 million infections in the US and over 95,000 deaths The JP Morgan report says that restarting the US economy may not lead to a second surge in infections that health experts have feared Report says infection rates have been falling seen since lockdown measures were lifted in parts of the country Alabama, Wisconsin and Colorado are among those that saw lower infection rates (R rates) after lockdown measures were lifted, according to the report The R rate is the average number of people who will become infected by one person with the virus Here’s how to help people impacted by Covid-19 By TIM STICKINGS FOR MAILONLINE PUBLISHED: 08:55 EDT, 22 May 2020 | UPDATED: 11:56 EDT, 22 May 2020 Coronavirus lockdowns have 'destroyed millions of livelihoods' but failed to alter the course of the pandemic given many US states have seen lower infection rates after easing restrictions, a JP Morgan study has claimed. The statistical analysis has raised questions about the effectiveness of the lockdowns put in place across much of the United States two months ago to stop the spread of COVID-19. It suggests that the lockdown measures have not only resulted in economic devastation but could have also resulted in more COVID-19 deaths. The strict stay-at-home measures put in place by the governors of most states in mid-March has so far seen nearly 39 million American lose their jobs and forced businesses to close.

Horowitz: The CDC confirms remarkably low coronavirus death rate. Where is the media?
Daniel Horowitz · May 22, 2020 Font Size A A A Most people are more likely to wind up six feet under because of almost anything else under the sun other than COVID-19. The CDC just came out with a report that should be earth-shattering to the narrative of the political class, yet it will go into the thick pile of vital data and information about the virus that is not getting out to the public. For the first time, the CDC has attempted to offer a real estimate of the overall death rate for COVID-19, and under its most likely scenario, the number is 0.26%. Officials estimate a 0.4% fatality rate among those who are symptomatic and project a 35% rate of asymptomatic cases among those infected, which drops the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) to just 0.26% — almost exactly where Stanford researchers pegged it a month ago.

READY FOR ROUND 2 OF LOCKDOWNS? CDC LIAR-IN-CHIEF ANTHONY FAUCI JUST TOLD MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL NOT TO SCHEDULE ANY GAMES AFTER SEPTEMBER
In the United States, deaths from the coronavirus are projected to rise steadily in July and August, then sharply through September, according to projections Monday from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. The best he can do, Fauci said, is to say that October Major League Baseball is probably not the best of ideas this year. “If the question is time, I would try to keep it in the core summer months and end it not with the way we play the World Series, until the end of October when it’s cold,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a telephone interview with The Times on Tuesday. “I would avoid that.” by Geoffrey Grider June 17, 2020 If the sole factor is minimizing risk for the novel coronavirus, Dr. Anthony Fauci said the major leagues would be wise to wrap up the postseason in September. They put the whole country on lockdown because it was not safe to go outside and meet in large numbers, unless you were rioting and looting, then it was encouraged. They said liquor stores and abortion centers were essential, and banned church and gun shops. Now those same people are mentally preparing us to be locked down again, even while denying it. Which chapter of Revelation will we be in tomorrow, what section of ‘1984’ will they appropriate next? The options are endless, let’s start here. “Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”― George Orwell, 1984 Here we are in America, 3 months almost exactly into our COVID-19 fever dream, and the rabbit hole keeps getting deeper, the voices hazier and the images just a little more out of focus. If the United States is the Titanic, our iceberg is surely the November elections. If the elections take place, there will be riots over how to vote, and if we get to vote neither side is going to accept the outcome. Prepare for a second lockdown? Sure, because it’s coming. Prepare for this to be the last elections held in America? It just might happen, and that you can’t prepare for. Fauci says MLB should consider not playing into October FROM LA TIMES: How long should baseball’s short season extend? The players say November. The owners say October. But, if the sole factor is minimizing risk for the novel coronavirus, Dr. Anthony Fauci said the major leagues would be wise to wrap up the postseason in September. “IF THE QUESTION IS TIME, I WOULD TRY TO KEEP IT IN THE CORE SUMMER MONTHS AND END IT NOT WITH THE WAY WE PLAY THE WORLD SERIES, UNTIL THE END OF OCTOBER WHEN IT’S COLD,” FAUCI, DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES, SAID IN A TELEPHONE INTERVIEW WITH THE TIMES ON TUESDAY. “I WOULD AVOID THAT.” Owners have expressed concern about an increase in coronavirus cases, notably in the home states of nine of the 10 teams that would be grouped in the Western region. Those outbreaks have “increased the risks associated with commencing spring training in the next few weeks,” MLB Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem wrote to players’ union negotiator Bruce Meyer on Monday. bill-gates-bioterror-attack-covid-19-lockdown-id2020 CLICK TO SEE WHAT BILL GATES HAS BEEN UP TO AND WHAT HE HAS IN HIS NEW WORLD ORDER PIPELINE Nonetheless, Fauci said, playing in July likely would be less risky than playing in October. “Even in warm weather, like in Arizona and California, we’re starting to see resurgences as we open up,” Fauci said. “But I think the chances of there being less of an issue in the end of July and all of August and September are much, much better than if you go into October.” THE UNITED STATES MAY BE AT A CRUCIAL POINT IN THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, WITH CASES RISING AGAIN AND OFFICIALS DECIDING WHETHER TO STAY THE COURSE ON REOPENING. AT LEAST 19 STATES HAVE SEEN NEW CASES GO UP IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND SIX STATES ON TUESDAY REPORTED RECORD INCREASES, CBS NEWS’ MANUEL BOJORQUEZ REPORTS. SOURCE Fauci said he understood that minimizing risk is one factor for baseball, but not the only one. In a letter to Meyer last week, Halem said the owners’ desire to complete the playoffs before November was based primarily on the recommendation from the league’s medical advisor. Halem also noted that MLB’s television partners do not wish to shift the postseason from October. The league has told the union that postseason television revenue is worth $787 million. In the United States, deaths from the coronavirus are projected to rise steadily in July and August, then sharply through September, according to projections Monday from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. The best he can do, Fauci said, is to say that October baseball is probably not the best of ideas this year.

NOT WEARING A COVID-19 MASK HAS JUST BEEN MADE A CRIME IN FAR LEFT WASHINGTON STATE AS NJ, NY AND CT NOW IMPOSING 14-DAY QUARANTINES
A county in Washington state has run out of hospital beds because of a recent spike in coronavirus cases — and now, Washington Governor Jay Inslee says the entire state is going to take a more aggressive approach to handling the pandemic. Everyone in the state, minus a few exceptions, will now have to wear a face mask, and will be charged with a misdemeanor crime if they fail to do so. by Geoffrey Grider June 24, 2020 Everyone in Far Left Washington state, minus a few exceptions, will now have to wear a COVID-19 face mask, and will be charged with a misdemeanor crime if they fail to do so. Have you ever watched flood waters rise on a street, the kind that you will often see with hurricane swells? If you have, then you know that when the water level gets so high on a road you prior to that could drive on, that contained in those flood waters was debris and garbage of every conceivable kind. A veritable witch’s brew of waste. So it is now with everything the New World Order is forcing upon us, they are attacking relentlessly, from every angle, all the time. The idea is to not let you catch your breath, no pun of any kind intended. They are literally trying to take our breath away. Now put your masks on, sit down and shut up. “And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant. And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.” Daniel 11:22,23 (KJB) Governor Janet Mills is trying to pass a law in Maine that would make it illegal to go to any public place without a mask. If it passes, the good citizens of Maine could be charged with a Class E crime and face a $1000 fine or 6 months in jail. This is happening all over America as the end times spirit of Antichrist continues to rise. The New England Journal of Medicine writes that “the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic”, and the global elites are making full use of our innate fear of COVID-19, and so much the more so as they bombard us with fear-laden messaging around the clock. So now it’s a crime to not wear a mask? Soon it will be public executions to make an example out of the ones who refuse to comply. Think that can’t happen? You better go read up on Nazi Germany, it did happen, and it will happen again. Mandatory Masks Aren’t About Safety, They’re About Social Control MANDATORY MASKS HAVE VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH SAFETY AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH SOCIAL CONTROL TO KEEP US IN A CONSTANT STATE OF CONFINEMENT Far Left Washington state to require face masks after county runs out of hospital beds FROM CBS NEWS: In a Tuesday press conference, Inslee said the state is experiencing an “uptick” in COVID-19 activity, and that to stop it, the state needs to “remain vigilant and diligent and resourceful.” “The number of people that one person infects is now going up,” Inslee said, adding that every coronavirus-infected individual in the state is potentially infecting around three other people. As of Tuesday evening, there are 28,870 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Washington, and more than 4,000 hospitalizations, according to the state’s Department of Health. Yakima County, which sits just southeast of Seattle, has the second highest numbers in the state — and said it has run out of hospital beds to help battle the virus. On June 19, the Yakima Health District said in a release that Virginia Mason Memorial “had no intensive care or non-intensive care beds available.” “There were multiple patients waiting for hospital bed space overnight,” the district added. “This was after at least 17 patients had already been transferred out of the county. Several individuals are still currently waiting for available bed space.” Yakima is now the epicenter of the virus in the state, Inslee said. READ MORE Tri-State to Require Visitors From COVID Hotspots to Quarantine FROM NEWS 4 NEW YORK: The governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut said Wednesday they will implement a mandatory quarantine on visitors to their states from viral hotspots, part of a coordinated effort to sustain low local infection rates as coronavirus cases surge to two-month highs across nearly half of the country. New York City, the former epicenter of the national epidemic, now boasts one of the lowest COVID transmission rates in the nation. New study data from COVID Act Now shows New York and New Jersey are two of just three states on track to contain COVID. Meanwhile, new U.S. coronavirus cases have soared to levels last seen in April as the pandemic first worsened across America. “WE NEED TO DO THINGS RIGHT INSIDE THE FOUR WALLS IN OUR RESPECTIVE STATES,” GOV. PHIL MURPHY SAID AT A WEDNESDAY NEWS CONFERENCE WITH GOV. ANDREW CUOMO AND GOV. NED LAMONT. “THE LAST THING WE NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW IS TO SUBJECT OUR FOLKS TO ANOTHER ROUND.” Young adults are accounting for an increasing share of new COVID cases, raising alarms at both national and local levels. In New Jersey, people ages 18 to 29 have accounted for nearly a quarter of new June virus cases, compared with just 12 percent of new cases in April. Gov. Phil Murphy has warned he may have to pause his state’s reopening process if the daily upticks turn into a trend. Both Cuomo and Lamont previously raised the prospect of having visitors self-quarantine for two weeks if they were coming from parts of the country with high or rising rates of COVID-19. READ MORE Do Masks Even Work? Can You Be Forced To Wear One? We are beginning to see more and more mask mandates being rolled out, which raises many questions. Does wearing a mask offer protection from the virus? Is wearing a mask for extended periods of time pose any risk to your health? Can the government or employers really make you wear a mask? In this interview, Spiro is joined by Dr. Andrew Kaufman to discuss these issue in addition to another concerning aspect regarding mandated masks. link

Other things are appearing in the news, such as the riots and looting, and the plandemic is taking a back seat. Time to ramp up the fear-mongering again! PROFESSOR: LOOMING COVID SURGE ON “VERGE OF BEING APOCALYPTIC”
THIS IS DARK. BY DAN ROBITZSKI / 10 HOURS AGO Unfortunate news for those hoping the coronavirus pandemic was fading away: models suggest that an “apocalyptic” resurgence could be coming in the near future. Multiple U.S. states, including Florida, Texas, and California, are currently experiencing record daily numbers of new COVID-19 cases, CNN reports. And they all still seem to be on the upswing. Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of Baylor College of Medicine’s National School of Tropical Medicine, told CNN that Houston is on track to be the most coronavirus-ravaged city in the U.S. — but that other Texas cities aren’t far behind. “The big metro areas seem to be rising very quickly and some of the models are on the verge of being apocalyptic,” Hotez told CNN. The three states hitting record numbers right now are also the most populous in the country. Combined, their new surges put more than 27 percent of the U.S. population at risk, CNN reports. Hotez, who’s also working on an experimental COVID-19 vaccine, warns that Houston in particular may quadruple its coronavirus case load over the next two weeks, which would put the same devastating strain on its healthcare system that places like New York City experienced earlier in the year. “That is really worrisome and as those numbers rise, we’re seeing commensurate increases in the number of hospitalizations and ICU admissions,” Hotex told CNN. “You get to the point where you overwhelm ICUs and that’s when the mortality goes up.” link

Well, the riots are winding down a bit, so it's time to stir up the fear again with the the plandemic! Texas, Florida roll back reopening as W.House revives virus task force
WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 23: Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, leaves after testifying at a hearing of the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce on Capitol Hill on June 23, 2020 in Washington, DC. The committee is investigating the Trump administration's … AFP26 Jun 20208,830 Houston (AFP) – Texas and Florida ordered bars to stop serving alcohol on site Friday amid a record-breaking surge in COVID-19 cases in both states, as the White House coronavirus task force was set to hold its first public briefing in almost two months. The two populous southern states, home to some 50 million people, were spared the worst of the outbreak in spring but are now being struck hard. The United States, already the hardest-hit country in the world with close to 125,000 deaths, never fully emerged from its first wave. Following a weeks-long plateau, new cases are once again back to where they were in April. “At this time, it is clear that the rise in cases is largely driven by certain types of activities, including Texans congregating in bars,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican ally of President Donald Trump. As a result, bars will be required to close but may continue providing delivery and take-out services. Other measures include that restaurants can remain open with 50 percent capacity indoors, and outdoor gatherings of 100 people or more require local government approval. Texas was among the most aggressive states in reopening in early June after months of lockdown. But the strategy has backfired: the state saw a record of 5,596 new coronavirus cases Thursday, a major jump from just 10 days ago, when the state had only 1,254 new cases in a day. Lina Hidalgo, the chief executive of Harris County, the most populous in Texas which includes the city of Houston, issued a stay-at-home advisory and raised the threat level to “severe” or Level 1. “This pandemic is like an invisible hurricane,” Hidalgo said. “This is a serious situation. The outbreaks are worsening.” Hidalgo, who is affiliated with the Democratic party, does not have the authority to make the guidance mandatory. Florida meanwhile reported a record breaking 8,942 new cases of COVID-19 Friday, as well as 39 new deaths and 212 additional hospitalizations. “Effective immediately, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation is suspending on premises consumption of alcohol at bars statewide,” the Florida government department tweeted Friday.

If you don’t believe the official narrative on COVID-19, then you have a MENTAL ILLNESS, claim scientists
06/27/2020 / By Ethan Huff / Comments If you don’t believe the official narrative on COVID-19, then you have a MENTAL ILLNESS, claim scientists Unhappy with having to stay physically distant from others? Wish you could shop without being hassled about face coverings? Then you are probably a mentally ill psychopath who needs drugs and “therapy.” This is what a new study published in the journal Social Psychology and Personality Science has decided about people who reject the official narrative surrounding the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Unless you accept it all hook, line and sinker, the study declares, then you are sick in the head and more than likely crazy. Citing claims made back in March by Dr. Deborah Birx about how overcoming the pandemic requires drastic changes to society and everyday life, Pavel S. Blagov, the study’s author, has concluded that those who reject the government’s draconian measures are abnormal and scary. “My experience as a psychological scientist as well as a practicing psychologist has convinced me that the importance of psychology and behavior in the prevention and management of a wide range of health problems is enormous,” Blagov says, referring to Birx’s March 31 suggestion that behavioral modifications would translate “into something that changes the course of this viral pandemic over the next 30 days.” “This includes personality, or the study of important ways in which people differ,” the associate professor and director of the Personality Laboratory at Whitman College added. “It was clear from reports in the media very early in the COVID-19 pandemic that some people were rejecting advice to socially distance and engage in increased hygiene. There can be many reasons for this, and I thought that personality may play at least a small role in it.” Listen below to The Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, talks to Sheriff Mack about how a second wave of attempted lockdowns will be met with resistance: If you oppose extreme government overreach into your personal life then you possess the “Dark Triad” of negative personality traits, according to Blagov The idea of “personality” in the way that Blagov is using it in this context does not refer to, say, an introvert versus an extrovert, or some other innocuous differentiator between personality types. Instead, he is saying that people who resist government lockdowns and “social distancing” have personality problems. In fact, if you refuse to happily accept anything and everything that the government decides is good for you, your family, and the whole of society in order to keep everyone “safe,” then you fit the mold of a Dark Triad, meaning you are narcissistic, Machiavellian, and psychopathic. “I expected [these personality traits] to be implicated in health behaviors during the pandemic,” Blagov further noted, pretending that he somehow has legitimate science on his side. “There is also prior research suggesting that people high on the Dark Triad traits may knowingly and even deliberately put other people’s health at risk, e.g., by engaging in risky sexual behavior and not telling their partner about having HIV or STIs.” In other words, if you do not buy the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as it is being sold to the masses by the likes of Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci, then you are basically a whore with AIDS who gets a thrill out of going around deliberately infecting people with a deadly disease, according to Blagov. As for how Blagov came to this laughable conclusion, it was derived from an online survey that was conducted back in March that produced dubious-at-best results. “The study’s limitations included its use of a non-random, non-probability sample of only U.S. adults; abbreviated trait measures; and newly developed, previously untested health-behavior measures,” Blagov admits. link

Italy’s coronavirus lockdown leaves citizens in poverty and unable to rebound because of economic restrictions
Wednesday, July 01, 2020 by: Arsenio Toledo Tags: charity, China, Collapse, coronavirus, covid-19, economic collapse, economic reopening, economy, financial aid, financial crisis, Flu, Giuseppe Conte, government, handouts, infections, insanity, Italy, lockdown, lockdowns, market crash, outbreak, pandemic, reopening, risk, stocks, superbugs, virus (Natural News) Italy lifted its two-month-long lockdown on May 18. But, its impact will be felt for far longer, as the measure also caused the country’s worst economic downturn in 75 years. On March 8, the Italian government placed the northern parts of the country under cordon sanitaire; this was then extended nationally the next day. While the country has emerged from it last month, the lockdown has left many Italians struggling, with no means to regain lost incomes. Small business owners are faced with the challenge to reopen under heavy coronavirus restrictions. Meanwhile, the tourism and entertainment industries are fighting an uphill battle, given economic restrictions and a worldwide slump in demand. It’s worth noting that the economic crunch Italians are reeling from is also felt in many countries. In Spain, the government is planning to roll out a universal basic income to combat post-pandemic poverty, while in the U.K., nearly a million people applied for government aid during the first two weeks of April. (Related: In epic speech, Italian member of Parliament demands arrest of Bill Gates as a “vaccine criminal” for pursuing crimes against humanity.) Listen to the Health Ranger Report by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, as he explains how a universal basic income scheme would collapse the economy of the United States. Italy’s “new poor” struggle to find food post-lockdown Italy’s economy has been rocky, even before the coronavirus hit. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the country had been in constant decline. The eurozone debt crisis in 2010 rocked the economy even further, and employment data from before the pandemic showed a 9 percent unemployment rate and massive wealth inequality. Estimates from Coldiretti, Italy’s main agricultural lobby, reveal that over a million people were left economically vulnerable by the coronavirus. Meanwhile, 11.5 million Italians have applied for financial aid, saying they have ceased receiving a fixed income. These Italians, dubbed the “the new poor,” have also brought up the total number of people requiring food assistance up to a record high of 3.7 million. Analysts expect the lower middle class to erode further, as they expect the economy to contract by 9.5 percent this year. “Only some [lower middle-class families] will eventually be able to lift themselves up again. Many of them never will,” added Pierluigi Dovis, a representative from the Catholic charity Caritas. People in the country’s new poor include those who received an irregular income, as well as gray economy workers. The latter, in particular, are excluded from the country’s welfare safety net. Charity organizations unable to provide for all families The scale of Italy’s coronavirus crisis has stretched even charity organizations thin. Giovanni Bruno, head of Banco Alimentare, Italy’s largest food bank, said that he believes the country is dealing with an unprecedented crisis. In fact, for the first time ever, Banco Alimentare is getting calls for help from middle-class Italians. “We are talking about educated people, people who are able to track us down on the internet,” he added. “Each time it’s like getting stabbed in the heart.” Before the outbreak, Banco Alimentare distributed food to 1.5 million Italians – which has since risen by 40 percent in two months. The food bank has said that it cannot keep up with the spike in requests for aid, especially in Italy’s poorer southern regions, where the economic crisis is expected to last for a long time. Another charity, L’Abbraccio says that this pandemic is unlike anything their volunteers have ever seen. In L’Abbraccio’s branch in Salerno, the number of families the charity has been helping has jumped from 160 to more than 500. Caritas, the international Catholic charity, says that requests for help in Italy are up by 114 percent. Too early to tell if financial aid would help Italy’s social safety net is also struggling to help families. The “citizen’s income” is a revolutionary policy that currently provides around one million families up to 6,000 euros ($6,697) a year in financial assistance. The current government is considering a set of reforms that would expand the number of families eligible to receive the citizen’s income. Many Italians have also received cash assistance from employment benefits and emergency cash handouts from the Italian government. This includes a 600 euro ($670) payment for part-time or self-employed workers. In Rome, many families are eligible to receive food stamps. This allows them to obtain up to 100 euros ($111) worth of groceries every week. In March, Prime Minister Conte announced that 400 million euros will be set aside to provide Italians with food stamps. Another 4.3 billion euros would be made available to mayors to help their citizens. The Italian government has also announced plans to roll out a 55 billion euro economic support package, which includes emergency cash assistance for anybody who was not able to qualify for any previous aid payments. This will include workers who relied on income received from the gray economy. It’s too early to tell if any of these financial assistance programs will be able to truly help Italians out during this crisis – especially those looking to get back to work but are hampered by economic restrictions. For example, 13 percent of Italy’s gross domestic product relies on the tourism industry, a sector of the economy that employs millions of people and – much like many other sectors – is unlikely to rebound for a long time.

PROTESTERS IN AFRICA REJECT COVID-19 VACCINE FROM GAVI ALLIANCE, SAYING THEY DON’T WANT TO BE BILL GATES ‘GUINEA PIGS’ IN RACIALLY MOTIVATED TRIALS
The band of demonstrators who gathered Wednesday at the University of the Witwatersrand, where the trial is based, reflect long-running fears among some in Africa over testing drugs on people who don’t understand the risks. “The people chosen as volunteers for the vaccination, they look as if they’re from poor backgrounds, not qualified enough to understand” protest organizer Phapano Phasha told The Associated Press ahead of the event. “We believe they are manipulating the vulnerable.” by Geoffrey Grider July 2, 2020 Protesters against Africa’s first COVID-19 vaccine trial burned their face masks Wednesday as experts note a worrying level of resistance and misinformation around testing on the continent from Bill Gates and GAVI Alliance. For year now, Bill Gates has been using Africa as his personal laboratory to carry out experiments on the people of the African continent. He can do this with the approval and authority of the United Nations and the World Health Organization, and you could, too, if you could donate $4 billion dollars like he did. Bill Gates is the world’s largest private funding source of the WHO, and as such, he has an open door to go to Africa and do as he pleases. But Africans, thanks to social media, have gotten wise to his schemes over the years, and for the first time, have begun to openly protest Bill Gates and the GAVI Vaccine Alliance. So the question is, what will you do when the Bill Gates vaccine comes to your town? Think it will be as easy as just saying no thank you? Guess again. Today in my town of Saint Augustine, my buddy Andy and I attempted to enter a restaurant for lunch, where we were told we would not be seated without wearing a mask. A quick look around showed me exactly zero customers wearing a mask. The hostess said that the new ordinance is that you must wear a mask as you walk to you table, then you can take it off. How stupid is that, right? But they refused to seat us until we went back to the car, got our masks and put them on. That’s how it will be with the vaccine. Don’t have it? Can’t prove it? No entrance, no admittance, no service. This is the world we have entered into, a world where vaccines created by Bill Gates will be forced into our veins, followed by a digital ID immunity passport. Think you can stop it? You can’t. The blacks in Africa don’t want it, but they won’t be able to stop it. Bill Gates has been quietly lately, but he’s been busy. Really, really busy. eugenicist-bill-gates-event-201-id2020-national-tracking-system-population-control-eugenics-nazis-microsoft BILL GATES IS BUYING, WHO WANT S A SHOT AND A CHIP? Protest versus Africa’s 1st COVID-19 vaccine test shows fear FROM FOX 5 NEW YORK: Anti-vaccine sentiment in Africa is “the worst I’ve ever seen,” the CEO of the GAVI vaccine alliance, Seth Berkley, told an African Union vaccine conference last week. “In general, people in Africa know the diseases and want to protect each other,” he said. “In this case, the rumor mill has been dramatic.” The trial that began last week in Johannesburg is part of one already underway in Britain of the vaccine developed at the University of Oxford. Some 2,000 volunteers in South Africa are expected to take part. It’s important that vaccines be tested in Africa to see how they perform in the local context, professor of vaccinology Shabir Madhi, leader of the new COVID-19 vaccine trial in South Africa, told reporters and others in a webinar Sunday. But the band of demonstrators who gathered Wednesday at the University of the Witwatersrand, where the trial is based, reflect long-running fears among some in Africa over testing drugs on people who don’t understand the risks. “THE PEOPLE CHOSEN AS VOLUNTEERS FOR THE VACCINATION, THEY LOOK AS IF THEY’RE FROM POOR BACKGROUNDS, NOT QUALIFIED ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND” PROTEST ORGANIZER PHAPANO PHASHA TOLD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AHEAD OF THE EVENT. “WE BELIEVE THEY ARE MANIPULATING THE VULNERABLE.” The activist and political commentator brought up the widely circulated remarks earlier this year by a French researcher, Jean-Paul Mira, who said, ““If I can be provocative, shouldn’t we be doing this study in Africa, where there are no masks, no treatments, no resuscitation?” He compared it to some AIDS studies: “In prostitutes, we try things because we know that they are highly exposed and that they do not protect themselves.” “THE NARRATIVE WE GOT IS OUR CONTINENT IS A DUMPING GROUND,” PHASHA SAID. FIRST ENSURE THE VACCINE WORKS ELSEWHERE BEFORE BRINGING IT TO AFRICA, SHE ADDED. FELLOW PROTESTERS SANG AND DANCED WITH BANNERS SAYING “WE NOT GUINEA PIGS” AND “NO SAFE VACCINE.” “If you want to test, test in the areas which they call the epicenter of the world,” demonstrator Sean Goss said. It’s not clear when Africa’s first vaccine trial will begin showing results, but a worried Madhi has said the local surge in confirmed cases could mean seeing them months earlier than expected. South Africa now has more than 151,000 confirmed coronavirus cases, the most on the African continent. Africa overall has more than 400,000 cases. READ MORE Africans Are Waking Up To The Treat From Bill Gates and the GAVI Vaccine Alliance Germany, France pledge millions to Bill Gates-backed vaccine alliance Well, well, look who is giving Bill Gates billions of euros, our old buddy Emmanuel Macron. Isn’t it funny how Macron, Gates and COVID keep popping together wherever you look? Melinda Gates Wearing An Upside-Down Cross Talking About COVID-19 Vaccine I will let you make up your own mind as to why Melinda Gates chose to wear an upside-down cross on national television. I know she went to Catholic school, and that she and Bill have raised their children as Catholics. But when you look at the millions of dollars they give to Planned Parenthood, an organization that exists to slaughter children in the womb, exactly what kind of Catholic she is gets a little murky, to say the least. link

ROCKLAND COUNTY NEW YORK NOW ISSUING $2,000 PER DAY FINE FOR ANYONE WHO REFUSES TO BE PART OF THEIR COVID-19 CONTACT TRACING SURVEILLANCE
As reported by The New York Times, a party in Rockland County, NY in mid-June attracted a crowd of 100 people, in violation of a state ordinance that capped gathers at 10 people. After the party’s host and eight guests tested positive, Rockland officials launched a vigorous contact tracing effort to identify others who may have been exposed. They quickly hit a road-bump as several of the party-goers obstructed the efforts. Rockland County upped the ante, issuing subpoenas. “Those who did not comply and share what they knew by the following day would face fines of $2,000 a day,” according to Rockland officials. by Geoffrey GriderJuly 13, 2020 Officials in New York’s Rockland County recently got aggressive about COVID-19 contact tracing, issuing subpoenas to eight party-goers who refused to cooperate with tracking surveillance efforts. Is anyone surprised at this? I certainly am not, the only surprising thing is that this model has not yet been adopted nationwide. Give it time, it will be. Wasn’t only as recently as April 10th that we were told that contact tracing would be voluntary? Yep, it sure was., right up to the moment when it wasn’t. Of course, just like the telephone tax used to fund the Spanish-American War in 1893, don’t expect it to go away anytime soon. What you can expect is hefty fines for non-compliance like what we are now seeing in New York. Long before the Jews were physically sent to concentration camps, they were marked with a yellow star before being segregated into ghettos. That’s how it works, it’s a process that takes place over time, but rest assured that slow, steady arc will complete its mission. COVID made be the excuse they are using to force contact tracing surveillance, but you can bet the farm on the fact that it will quickly be applied to all sorts of other areas that have nothing to do with coronavirus. Enjoy the article below from Forbes extolling the virtues of fining people $2,000 per day for not taking part in contact tracing surveillance tracking. $2,000 A Day Fine For Obstructing Coronavirus Contact Tracing FROM FORBES: If the eight had failed to comply, they would have been subject to fines of $2,000 per day; however, within 24 hours, all eight acquiesced, signaling that the threat of a monetary fine may be an effective health policy tool to mitigate the spread of coronavirus. 100 Person Gathering In Rockland County: As reported by The New York Times, a party in Rockland County, NY in mid-June attracted a crowd of 100 people, in violation of a state ordinance that capped gathers at 10 people. After the party’s host and eight guests tested positive, Rockland officials launched a vigorous contact tracing effort to identify others who may have been exposed. They quickly hit a road-bump as several of the party-goers obstructed the efforts. “My staff has been told that a person does not wish to, or have to, speak to my disease investigators,” Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert, the county’s health commissioner, was quoted in the Times. Of the individuals her team tried to contact, Dr. Schnabel said, “they hang up. They deny being at the party even though we have their names from another party attendee.” Rockland County Subpoenas and Potential Fines: Instead of tolerating the party-goers selfish refusal to cooperate, Rockland County upped the ante, issuing subpoenas. “Those who did not comply and share what they knew by the following day would face fines of $2,000 a day,” according to Rockland officials. The subpoena and financial warning worked as all eight individuals who had received a subpoena started cooperating with the county Health Department. “I will not allow the health of our county to be compromised because of ignorance, stupidity or obstinance, or anything else,” Ed Day, a Rockland County executive, said. Contact Tracing Is Essential: Contact tracing is one of the few tools that public health officials have in their arsenal to fight coronavirus outbreaks until a vaccine is safely developed. “A role of government is to protect individuals and their families as well as health care workers and other essential workers,” wrote Dr. Tom Frieden, who headed up the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during the Obama administration and oversaw responses to H1N1, Ebola, and Zika, and Dr. Kelly Henning, the director of public health at Bloomberg Philanthropies and a former professor of infectious disease at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “The hard, skilled work of contact tracing is akin to hurricane warnings: People are alerted so they can protect themselves and their families. . .we need to play the hand we’ve been dealt as well as we possibly can to save lives, reduce spread and help restore our economy.” Sadly, New York City and other places that have embraced contact tracing, have struggled with its execution. In New York, less than half of city residents who had tested positive or were presumed positive provided information to contact tracers. In Massachusetts, only 60 percent were responding and in Louisiana, fewer than 50 percent were answering. “What we lived through. . . is [the] equivalent of a forest fire,” Andy Slavitt told PBS Newshour host, Judy Woodruff. “What we have to do is to prevent forest fires from breaking out, so we can catch things when they’re little campfires. And in order to do that, we have to have the ability to surround the outbreak as it happens, so it doesn’t spread into community again.” Adopt Rockland County’s Approach: The rest of the country should adopt Rockland County’s model. Contact tracing is so crucial to containing outbreaks, that it shouldn’t be left up to the whims of individuals. The Covid-19 pandemic proves how health and wealth are tightly integrated. Economic recovery depends on being able to control the outbreak of Covid-19 and currently, the U.S is failing miserably. “The virus drives the economics,” said Betsey Stevenson, who served on President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers and is now a professor at the University of Michigan. If Covid-cases keep rising, “we’re not going to have people going back to work,” she added. UP UNTIL NOW, MOST CORONAVIRUS PREVENTION EFFORTS, INCLUDING QUARANTINES AND CONTACT TRACING, HAVE ONLY BEEN LOOSELY ENFORCED. WHEN YOU HAVE IMBECILES IN ALABAMA THROWING COVID PARTIES TO SEE WHO CAN GET INFECTED FIRST AND SELFISH VACATIONERS IN THE OZARKS CROWDING POOLS WITHOUT MASKS, WE NEED TO WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT VOLUNTARY EFFORTS ARE INADEQUATE. Individual rights have limits. Just like one cannot yell fire in a crowded movie theater and one’s right to throw a punch ends where another’s nose begins, we need to rethink the balance of individual rights and community obligation. If individuals aren’t willing to take rational and basic steps to mitigate the spread, the government must mandate action and ramp up enforcement. Conclusion: Rockland County’s subpoena and threat of a $2,000 fine worked well. The rest of the country should adopt equal measures. American lives depend on it. READ MORE link

Here's some news out of Germany (translated from original): Hot information on the next curfew: next lockdown already decided
Posted on July 31, 2020 by Allure It seems incredible: another lockdown. For no reason. And in the middle of midsummer. And yet it is exactly what the government is not only planning, but has obviously already decided. Even the date is already set. Hot information - The Corona madness never ends. In view of the information published in the following video, there is still a lot to expect of the German population. So there should be a second lockdown - and much earlier than expected. This new lockdown will not rely on falling numbers of alleged new infections. The numbers are falling - worldwide - and yet another lockdown is already planned. The announcement of a next lockdown was passed on by a present and concerned local councilor in East Hesse who no longer wanted to remain silent. The date for the next loopdown is already set. August 30 - plus / minus a few days. And this lockdown should last longer than the first one. 3 - 6 months !!! See for yourself in the exclusive interview - only at ET Video & Content (It's in German; if you want to see it, go to the link.)(If this video is deleted on YouTube , we have additionally saved it and also included it in the article below.) link

Singapore to tag visitors with electronic monitoring devices to ensure Covid-19 quarantine compliance
3 Aug, 2020 22:34 New arrivals to Singapore won’t necessarily have to quarantine at a government facility during the pandemic - some, including residents, will receive an electronic monitoring device that will alert authorities if they leave home. Singapore announced on Monday it will track incoming travelers coming from a select group of countries - including residents and citizens - with electronic monitoring devices, starting August 11. Authorities framed the trackers as a positive for travelers, noting they would allow recipients to self-isolate at home instead of quarantining in a government facility. New arrivals will be ordered to activate the devices upon reaching home, at which point they are programmed to alert the authorities should the user try to leave or tamper with the device. It’s not clear what kind of device the city-state plans to use, though the announcement hints at something quite a bit beefier than the slimline electronic wristbands Hong Kong deployed in March and South Korea has also adopted. Authorities hinted that recipients are supposed to receive and acknowledge notifications on the device itself, rather than on a smartphone app linked to the device as is the case in Seoul. However, the city-state has sought to reassure recipients that the device will not store personal data and does not have the ability to record or store audio or video. Singapore was one of the first places to adopt tech-enhanced contact-tracing to manage its Covid-19 outbreak, developing a Bluetooth-powered app called TraceTogether which - despite initial fanfare - reportedly failed to attract more than 25 percent of the population (and was quite useless for those without smartphones). Because the app was programmed before Google and Apple rolled out their contact-tracing platform, it doesn’t work well on iPhones and is a huge drain on battery life. Perhaps foreseeing a dim future for the app, Singapore announced in June that it would supplement TraceTogether by distributing wearable contact-tracing devices. The government attempted to allay fears of being tracked by explaining the devices lack GPS chips or internet capability and operate only on a Bluetooth-proximity basis, alerting authorities only if the wearer tests positive for Covid-19. However, privacy advocates have pushed back against the wearables, noting that it’s impossible to tell what the devices are actually doing at any given time. Vivian Balakrishnan, head of Singapore’s Smart Nation Initiative, has not ruled out making the wearables compulsory, and some have warned that the government need only add Bluetooth sensors to public places to turn the dongles into de facto GPS trackers. The wearable electronics proposed for new arrivals would seem to fulfill those concerns, especially as they’re being rolled out for residents and citizens arriving from outside Singapore as well as for some foreign nationals. Singapore has only reported 27 deaths with the coronavirus, though its case count - 53,051 as of Monday, according to Johns Hopkins University - is somewhat high for a nation of just 5.1 million people, reflecting the close quarters in which its inhabitants live. link

It’s about compliance, not science: Virginia officials demand students get vaccinations to participate in ONLINE learning from home
Monday, August 03, 2020 by: Lance D Johnson Tags: badhealth, badmedicine, badscience, constitutional authority, false guilt, fear of immune system, health freedom, infant mortality plummeting, junk science, liability-free inoculations, medical privacy, Medical Tyranny, mental abuse, obey, Online learning, Parental rights, public health threats, religious exemption to vaccination, vaccination coverage, vaccine wars, vaccines (Natural News) Public health officials in Virginia are warning prospective students to get all the required vaccinations before the start of the school year in order to do online virtual learning from their home. If parents do not comply and do not show proof their kid got the injections, then their kid won’t be able to access the online learning materials provided by the school district. This is a threat. It’s also a lie, an empty threat, because children belong to their parents, not the state. “I think people feel like if you’re not going to the brick and mortar school then you don’t need to have the immunizations but that’s incorrect,” said Fairfax County Health Department worker Shauna Severo, speaking with NBC 4 in Washington. This controlling public health official is lying. There are legal exemptions for any and all vaccination for schoolchildren in Virginia. These exemptions are constantly under assault in each state, but they do exist, as long as parents realize how important their freedom is to make medical choices for their own family. According to Virginia law 12VAC5-110-80: No certificate of immunization shall be required of any student for admission to school if: The student or his parent or guardian submits a notarized Certificate of Religious Exemption (Form CRE 1), to the admitting official of the school to which the student is seeking admission. Form CRE 1 is an affidavit stating that the administration of immunizing agents conflicts with the student’s religious tenets or practices. It’s all about compliance as controllers try to force vaccinations on kids learning from home It’s now apparent that vaccination coverage is all about compliance, not health. Why do officials want to force children to take liability-free inoculations, when these children will be learning from the confines of their home? How intrusive will these controlling people get? There’s nothing in the vaccinations that enhances a child’s immune system – no antiviral prophylactics, no minerals like zinc that will stop viral replication. Vaccines do not contain vitamin C, so they cannot boost thymus gland function nor strengthen the adaptive immune response. They do not contain Vitamin D and therefore do not strengthen the intra-cellular T-cell response to viral infection. There’s nothing in a vaccine that strengthens the child’s microbiome, enhancing their immune system’s ability to detect and react quickly to invading pathogens. If anything, there are enough side effects listed on the vaccine insert sheets to make any rational parent second guess the safety and effectiveness of the inoculations. Forced to do online learning, students across the nation are being conditioned to fear their own immune system and be ignorant of how it works and adapts to its environment. Instead, they are taught that they are biological sources of contamination, always infecting others with infections they don’t even have. Forced to stay in their homes, children are being mentally abused to accept a life of fear and false guilt. When they are included in school activities, they are lined up and spaced out like prisoners, forcibly masked and monitored. Desperate, Virginia setting up pop up clinics to get kids vaccinated Virginia is now setting up pop up clinics to make sure that schoolchildren are inoculated with the CDC’s bloated vaccine schedule, which has not been studied as a whole for safety. Parents are told to make appointments beforehand. Virginia officials are desperate to force compliance because vaccination rates have plummeted in 2020. During the initial lock downs, vaccination coverage plummeted as parents avoided contact with medical facilities. Ironically, the mortality rate for infants plummeted during this time as well. The drop off in inoculations for infants coincided with historically low cases of SIDS. Parents are still avoiding the medical system and vaccination rates are down. Many are starting to see the rampant coercion in the vaccine industry and how vaccine makers are shielded from legal liability when their products harm people. More parents are skeptical of how many vaccinations they submit their child to and are speaking up at pediatrician offices. In the end, the threats from public health officials in Virginia are empty and have no legal or constitutional authority. Parents have the final say what goes into their child’s body, especially when they are facilitating their child’s education from home. link

More fear porn! Dr. Fauci issues dire warning on 'lurking' viruses, says COVID-19 is 'worst-case scenario,' 'worst nightmare.' A professor of virology weighs in without the alarmism.
Sounds like it's going to be a great time SARAH TAYLOR Dr. Anthony Fauci says there are more viruses around the corner and that the country is absolutely not finished with COVID-19. According to a Friday Newsweek report, Fauci spoke with Dan Diamond on Politico's Pulse Check podcast, where he said that the COVID-19 pandemic is easily his "worst nightmare" as well as the "worst-case scenario" for the United States. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also told Diamond that there are even more frightening viruses than COVID-19 that are "lurking" around the corner. "You have to assume that there are more viruses that are still lurking because we know historically we've had outbreaks long before I've been around, even before recorded history," he said. "We know that there have been outbreaks recently, we're in the middle of an outbreak now. And there's no doubt that we're going to have outbreaks in the future." The 79-year-old doctor also said that the COVID-19 infection is the "worst-case scenario or my worst nightmare" and that the notion of a growing number of viruses jumping from animals to humans is a terrible notion to behold. What else? Dr. Ian Jones, a professor of virology from the United Kingdom's University of Reading in Berkshire, England, said that Fauci is merely "stating the obvious." "Virus outbreaks from animals to man occur all the time depending on proximity and abundance, in avian flu for example, but only rarely do they efficiently transmit one person to another," Jones explained, according to Newsweek. He pointed out that it's only natural for a pandemic to take place when humans are able to transmit such viruses to their fellow humans. "These are of varying severity; the flu pandemic of 2009 was relativity mild whereas the current COVID pandemic is severe," Jones added. 'Worst nightmare' over and over Fauci has often repeated his claims that COVID-19 is his "worst nightmare." Twice in July, Fauci said coronavirus was his "worst nightmare." On one occasion, Fauci said the virus was public health's "worst nightmare" due to the abundant way the virus spreads among humans, as well as its newness. "What [kept] me up at night is the emergence, usually jumping from an animal reservoir to a human, of a brand-new virus that no one has ever seen before," Fauci explained. "Bingo. The worst nightmare comes true." A second occasion saw Fauci call the disease health experts' "worst nightmare" due to it being the "perfect storm" because there was no end in sight to the deadly pandemic. link

Horowitz: More than money: GDP loss from lockdowns will cost millions of life years
Daniel Horowitz · August 6, 2020 In 1957, America was faced with a flu-like virus that had a similar fatality rate to COVID-19 and was even more disruptive in some ways. Yet, Americans understood that these viruses cannot be stopped, and they slogged along without shutting down their economy and infringing upon liberties. Which, as I mentioned before, is why almost nobody living at the time remembers it. Contrast that to 2020 when we have compounded inevitable viral deaths with avoidable man-made deaths from lockdown – no matter how much these policies fail to deliver. On July 30, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released the GDP numbers for second quarter and revealed that the economy had contracted by an unfathomable 32.9%. This number shocks the conciseness and blows out the worst quarter of the Great Depression, yet the announcement barely stayed in the news cycle beyond a few hours. But behind that loss of money is a loss of life that few are trying to quantify and balance against the policies that have induced this misery. In May, four professors with backgrounds ranging from medicine to economics attempted to quantify the number of lives lost from the devastation of the lockdown itself – something our government failed to simulate when it embarked on this novel policy. They used a formula based on government data assuming one life lost from suicide, alcohol or drug abuse, or stress-induced illnesses per $17 million of economy productivity lost. Now that we have hard data of GDP losses, I wanted to revisit those numbers. According to BEA, the current‑dollar GDP decreased by $2.15 trillion in the second quarter and by $186.3 billion in the first quarter, primarily in the final days of March. The total loss of $2.3 trillion in GDP is roughly in line with what Scott Atlas of Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, John Birge of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Ralph Keeney of Duke University, and Alexander Lipton of the Jerusalem Business School of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem predicted in their May article in The Hill.com. Using their formula of one life lost per $17 million in decreased economic productivity, that would equal roughly 137,000 lives lost just from the drop in economic activity through June. Those numbers have likely grown by tens of thousands over the past five weeks, and based on the trajectory of our existing problems, will continue for months on end. In other words, the death toll just from the economic stress alone (not to mention the delayed health care) will be more than the eventual excess deaths from COVID-19. But it’s worse than that. Most people who die from the virus are at or above the age of life expectancy. Even Neil Ferguson of the Imperial College of London, the primary advocate for lockdown policies, predicted that two-thirds of the fatalities would be among people who would have died within the year. Contrast that to a younger generation of adults and even children who are now committing suicide and overdosing on drugs due to the disproportionate anxiety and social isolation being imposed upon their lives thanks to the national masochism and panic. This will result in millions of years of live lost. Just take drug deaths in Davidson County (Nashville), Tennessee, for example. Even with our liberal counting, there have only been 205 coronavirus deaths. At the same time, from March through July 25, there have been 354 fatal drug overdoses. Drug overdose deaths are up 47% this year in Davidson County. That alone accounts for a good chunk of the excess deaths. The deaths will likely skyrocket in the future because so many more are getting hooked on the drugs now, as indicated by the non-fatal ER visits in recent months that will likely translate into fatalities later on because of intractable addiction. Here is a look at the rate of increase in drug-related ER visits, according to the Davidson County Health Department: And most of these deaths are among young adults who have many years left to their lives. This is just a snapshot of the real-life consequences of treating every virus case as if it’s stage 4 pancreatic cancer. It winds up taking priority over every other social, medical, and economic consideration. The tragic irony is that none of these policies have even helped reduce the fatalities from the virus itself, even with this myopic and paranoid focus of our government and society. A new research paper published in JAMA Network reveals that the mean weekly number of new cancers diagnosed plummeted by 46.4% for six forms of cancer: breast, colorectal, lung, gastric, pancreatic, and esophageal. No, the virus is not that novel – it doesn’t cure cancer. It means that in our paranoid obsession over coronavirus, treating it as if it is worse than cancer, has ensured that so many would-be stage 3 diagnoses will not be caught until stage 4. What ever happened to the trope – “if we can only save one life….”? link

Why? For a virus with a greater than 99.5% survival rate?

CDC Director: No ‘Regular Life’ Until At Least the Middle of Next Year
by: Ron Paul 2020-09-17 Source: Ron Paul Liberty Report | 0 By Adam Dick Remember President Donald Trump saying he wanted things to open up in America by Easter? Oh well. Throughout most of America, the coronavirus crackdowns are continuing strong five months after Easter. And United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert R. Redfield said Wednesday at a US Senate subcommittee hearing that “regular life” will not begin to return until, he predicts, the “late second quarter, third quarter” of next year — around the middle of 2021. Why the long wait? Redfield says the wait is so a coronavirus vaccine can be distributed and injected around America first. Of course, many people have no interest in taking this sped-up vaccine that is just about sure to cause more harm than good considering facts including that coronavirus is not a particularly dangerous disease for most people and that the vaccine is not even undergoing ordinary vaccine testing. By the middle of next year there may also be very little to no spreading of coronavirus. If enough people refuse vaccination, will the date of return to regular life be pushed back even more? Count on that or on mandates or incredible pressure being placed on people to be vaccinated. But, really, even if every single American takes the needle, there is no guarantee that the US government, along with state and local governments, will choose to give up all their newly created mandates. The coronavirus was a flimsy excuse for the power grab. Surely, new excuses can be concocted. Hopefully, it is becoming much clearer to many more people each day that waiting for permission to return to regular life — to the “old normal” — is a chump move. A better course is to protest the “new normal” mandates, encourage others to join in opposition to the mandates, and act increasingly in defiance of the mandates, ignoring restraints on liberty put in place purportedly to address the contrived coronavirus crisis. link

This one will be far worse, because people isolated themselves, used lots of hand sanitizer which killed good germs, and wore face masks which are a breeding ground for all kinds of nasty stuff, so their immune systems couldn't develop an immunity.

Pfizer Says "Second Wave" Faked on False-Positive COVID Tests, "Pandemic is Over"
Updated on September 25, 2020 Dr. Mike Yeadon In a stunning development, a former Chief Science Officer for the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer says "there is no science to suggest a second wave should happen." The "Big Pharma" insider asserts that false positive results from inherently unreliable COVID tests are being used to manufacture a "second wave" based on "new cases." Dr. Mike Yeadon, a former Vice President and Chief Science Officer for Pfizer for 16 years, says that half or even "almost all" of tests for COVID are false positives. Dr. Yeadon also argues that the threshold for herd immunity may be much lower than previously thought, and may have been reached in many countries already. In an interview last week Dr. Yeadon was asked: "we are basing a government policy, an economic policy, a civil liberties policy, in terms of limiting people to six people in a meeting...all based on, what may well be, completely fake data on this coronavirus?" Dr. Yeadon answered with a simple "yes." Dr. Yeadon said in the interview that, given the "shape" of all important indicators in a worldwide pandemic, such as hospitalizations, ICU utilization, and deaths, "the pandemic is fundamentally over." Yeadon said in the interview: "Were it not for the test data that you get from the TV all the time, you would rightly conclude that the pandemic was over, as nothing much has happened. Of course people go to the hospital, moving into the autumn flu season...but there is no science to suggest a second wave should happen." In a paper published this month, which was co-authored by Yeadon and two of his colleagues, "How Likely is a Second Wave?", the scientists write: "It has widely been observed that in all heavily infected countries in Europe and several of the US states likewise, that the shape of the daily deaths vs. time curves is similar to ours in the UK. Many of these curves are not just similar, but almost super imposable." In the data for UK, Sweden, the US, and the world, it can be seen that in all cases, deaths were on the rise in March through mid or late April, then began tapering off in a smooth slope which flattened around the end of June and continues to today. The case rates however, based on testing, rise and swing upwards and downwards wildly. Full article with charts at link
