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

Such Gestapo tactics are unremarkable in a totalitarian state. And that is what we rapidly are becoming. Want more proof? See what is happening in Canada. They are making Red China proud.

In medicine or in any other aspect of life you might choose, when totalitarian leadership is crossed it fights back with all it has, not just to correct, but to destroy. Can re-education camps be far behind? And their most powerful weapon is that so many people simply do not believe such a thing is possible.

Right, once you arrest someone, their health is in the hands of the jailers and whatever doctors the State deigns to provide. This is how the west likes to slowly kill their inconvenient prisoners, ala WikiLeaks’ Assange. Maybe throw in some unwanted psych meds with bad side effects, just to help make them less capable in their own defense.

This sounds about right, only release the data that supports the narrative you’re pushing…

The new policy comes as the Biden administration moves to shift its focus to preventing serious illness and death from COVID-19, rather than all instances of infection

More really familiar talk, about a year and a half behind…

I assume appologies are forthcoming for all those who have been demonized for suggesting that same shift in focus?

I’m sure this job doesn’t exist in the US, but I guess the UK is not entirely on board with the “safe and effective” mantra.

CDC is mostly done with masks.

Under the new guidelines, the vast majority of Americans will no longer live in areas where indoor masking in public is recommended, based on current data… It was not immediately clear how the new CDC guidance would affect U.S. federal mandates requiring face coverings on public transportation.

The CDC’s director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, has said a change has been in the works. “We must consider hospital capacity as an additional important barometer. Our hospitals need to be able to take care of people with heart attacks and strokes. Our emergency departments can’t be so overwhelmed that patients with emergent issues have to wait in line”

I’m sure the conspiracy theorists will have a ball with speculating on what’s causing all those heart attacks and strokes…

Really? Are you that … nevermind. It is quite obvious to anyone watching BIG media or reading the NYT and their ilk that the science says the heart attacks are caused by people thinking or hearing about ivermectin.

ETA: 'Ol dud Fauci has issued an alternative science to explain the heart attacks. It is because people have *though of" or *heard" about

CA ends state level mask mandates for kids and schools / day care, effective in another 1.5 weeks. You can have local mandates if you’ve got enough zealots still in charge.

Follow up on Vit D vs covid. A study from Israel uses pre-infection medical data on Vit D levels to compare those patients’ outcomes when hospitalized for covid.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0263069&type=printable

Here’s the visual for older patients, quite obvious impact.

To overcome this possible bias, we followed a previously described methodology of using the most recent historical vitamin D prior to COVID-19 illness [25]. With this approach, the vitamin D values obtained assuredly preceded COVID-19 infection and reflect the potential effect of vitamin D serum status on COVID-19 disease severity and mortality. To further ensure a high degree of accuracy with regards to 25(OH)D levels preceding the infection date, we performed our analyses using the pre-infection value as well as predicted values from a cosinor model, which considers the cycles of serum vitamin D values across the seasons of the year.

A lower vitamin D status was more common in patients with the severe or critical disease (<20 ng/mL [87.4%]) than in individuals with mild or moderate disease (<20 ng/mL [34.3%] p < 0.001). Patients with vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) were 14 times more likely to have severe or critical disease than patients with 25(OH)D ≥40 ng/mL (odds ratio [OR], 14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4 to 51; p < 0.001).

In short, there was a huge and statistically significant correlation between having good levels of Vit D pre-illness and dying or having serious covid issues. For example, one table shows that of those with “critical” hospitalization outcomes, 92% were serious deficient in Vit D (<20) before their illness while 0% had sufficient or higher levels (>30).

Nothing to see here, the Wuhan - NIH connection.

Good recap on NIH’s coverup as well as some help from Google and the scientists directly involved in the gain of function research if you want more.

Bad news on monoclonals - they work great for viruses they were targeted for, but not so much for newer, mutated variants. Only 2 of the main ones worked for the original O (BA1), in contrast to Delta where many worked. New research shows none of the current monoclonals work vs the new O strain (BA2).

If you’re worried health wise for consequences of covid infection, hopefully you can get the PFE pill. Note it has many contraindications, including kidney issues and statin drugs commonly used for high cholesterol. You can’t get a new kidney quickly, but you could talk to your doctor about switching to a different drug that wouldn’t interact badly.

On a side note, my understanding is that it’s not the actual antiviral agent in the PFE pill that causes these bad interactions with many current medications, but a time delay drug they added so you could only take the pills twice daily instead of more frequently.

A bunch of doctors and academics / researchers discussing covid related mandates, masks, vaccines, kids, etc. you won’t find this one on Google’s YouTube. Lockdowns were pretty soundly ridiculed.
