Does the coronavirus merit investment, or personal, concern or consideration?

I don’t know why this is being handled as poorly and regrettably as it is. But this is not political, or at least it should not be. This relates instead to the desire we all share for good health.

Nice recap on why all the official, published research on ivermectin shows it doesn’t work. The journals refuse to even consider the papers that show it does, and sometimes even the big money interest got the pre-print servers to refuse to publish them.

Long Covid

If you’re currently up to date on your jabs, the chances of COVID killing you or putting you into the hospital are low. But the chances of it making you sick, potentially for a very long time, are substantial—and apparently getting higher.

Those academics are easily surprised.

One thing that surprised Nash and his teammates is that the risk of long COVID isn’t uniform across the population. Young people and women are more likely to catch long COVID

Sounds to me that some fraction of people with no jobs or low paying jobs declared they had a disability of “long covid”.

Covid relief fraud. The Somali community in MN has been been known for welfare fraud and gang violence, but this was taking it to a whole new level. The $250M they stole is like 5% of Somalia’s GDP.

Covid news roundup

• A new report from the NEJM indicates that mucosal (nasal) antibodies are what may be needed to more effectively block infection and transmission, since that is where airborne pathogens are first introduced into the body

• China approved its first inhalable COVID vaccine manufactured by CanSino, which uses the same adenovirus vector approach that it uses in its injectable vaccine. Early trials showed better immune responses than a regimen of three shots, and CanSino claims that its inhalable vaccine also needs much less viral material to be effective. India’s Bharat Biotech has also approved its own inhalable adenovirus vaccine which it developed in conjunction with researchers at the Washington University (St Louis) School of Medicine

• Inhaled vaccines are best used in tandem within injected vaccines rather than replacing them, since injected vaccines produce antibodies in the bloodstream and internal organs which are needed if nasal defenses fail

• As per Brown’s School of Public Health and Microsoft AI: from January 2021 to April 2022, the US experienced 320,000 deaths that could have been prevented if such individuals had been vaccinated. Excess death rates are still 10% above expected levels, and in 2021, the US experienced the largest decline in life expectancy in 100 years

And for all those in FL, a quick hurricane preparedness video

So much incompetence to go around on this one.

The way I read that report, when the Minnesota Department of Ed (MDE) suspected fraud, they stopped payments and notified the FBI. Then the Somalis took MDE to court to get them to pay on the disputed claims ($20.5 million worth). The Judge couldn’t read between the lines and essentially told MDE that they were wrong for holding up funds while asking the Somalis for proof they were feeding kids. The judge is claiming he stopped short of telling MDE they had to pay. But MDE thought if they didn’t pay and continued to fight in court, they would have to disclose that the Somalis were under FBI investigation. So the taxpayers lost an extra $20.5 million that MDE knew was requested fraudulently because of a stupid judge and a lazy Minnesota Attorney General (the department representing MDE in the fight to keep the $20.5 mil) that couldn’t figure out how to not pay and keep the criminal investigation under wraps. Gotta hand it to the Somalis for their balls. Normally after someone gets caught stealing, they just run away. But the cash cow of this program was just too lucrative. The Somalis actually took MDE to court after MDE told the Somalis they needed to prove the feeding sites were real, and the Somalis convinced a judge to let them keep defrauding. Not only that, the Somalis had the balls to ask the judge to make MDE pay attorneys fees and sanctions for holding up the fund. The judge awarded them the extra money.

Now the judge is trying to play cleanup:

He specifically notes he never ordered MDE to continue paying, yet he conveniently leaves out that he ruled in favor of the Somalis and forced MDE to pay attoney’s fees and sanctions.

I know this is pretty humerous, but it’s rather unfairly taken out of context. This wasnt another classic Biden gaffe, it’s from a year ago in advance of hurricane season, saying that you should get vaccinated “now” before you are sitting in a crowded evacuation site and decide that maybe you should be vaccinated. Say what you want about the need to be vaccinated in the first place, but it’s actually pretty good advice. Get your crap in order before the s#&t hits the fan, rather than lament it after it’s too late. With so much crying about how suffering the consequences of your own decisions is so horribly unfair, I cant criticize any advice encouraging people to proactively take responsibility for themselves.

If anyone had been able to invest in 'ol Doc Fauci, he would have been handsomely rewarded …

It’s been a dogfight to open the books on the Fauci finances. For example, our organization has filed four federal lawsuits versus NIH to open the books.

· Net Worth: The Fauci household disclosed net worth increased from $7.6 million (January 1, 2019) to over $12.6 million (December 31, 2021).

· Top Paid: Fauci continued to be the most highly compensated federal employee earning $456,000 in 2021 and $480,000 in 2022. Fauci out-earned the president, four-star generals, and roughly 4.3 million other federal bureaucrats.

· Big Awards: In 2021, Fauci augmented his government income with nearly $1 million in prizes from non-profit organizations across the world. For example, the Dan David Foundation, based in Israel, awarded $901,400 for “speaking truth to power” and “defending science” during the Trump administration.

ETA: Also, you could have invested in the curiously named EcoHealth Alliance and it’s leader - “honest as the day is long (in the voice of S.Z. Sakall)” Peter Daszak.
Even if things look bleak with EcoHealth, just hold on, because a new day will somehow bring a new contract.

Crazy, right? More on them getting paid to “find” the covid origin somewhere, anywhere, other than their NIH subcontracted grants to Wuhan.

More on the Joseph Robinette Biden ethics in government program (BCF) …

ETA: Of course, as we’ve been told ad infinitum, over a multitude of media, the vaccine is perfectly safe and effective.

Hey! You’ll get excommunicated if you’re not careful, even if you’re an illegal alien. You’re VC status is below that of the vaccine’s VC safety status. The vaccine is perfectly safe and effective.

If you don’t want to be a bad ghost (or whatever you identify as) …

see no evil, hear no evil, research no evil. NIH further tarnishes its already poor covid reputation, from back when they were funding dangerous Wuhan covid research.

This time, progressive ideologues at the NIH are implementing a subjective and unsupported ban on using their public genetic database if they don’t like the possible directions of your research, especially things like IQ or intelligence being genetically linked.

Next thing you know, with some good genetic tests, you’ll be able to figure out your bureaucrats aren’t smart enough for their jobs…
