The gentleman from Madame Tussauds emerged from storage yesterday to read remarks celebrating 50 million COVID-19 vaccinations. Whoever prepared the text is seeking to exploit the ignorance of Biden supporters and others who may devote 23 minutes of their lives to taking it in.
The lords of Amazon have put me in mind of Joseph Stalin
this morning. I see Biden in this light. He is the source of all that is good
and true. Simon Sebag Montefiore put it this way in a Times
book review:
The Bolsheviks viewed the ideology of Marxism
as essentially scientific in its analysis of human progress, and science was
always a vital part of their conception of the Soviet Union,
which they trumpeted as the first state ever founded on “scientific”
principles. Its rulers, particularly Lenin and Stalin, regarded themselves as
manifestations of the “dictatorship of the proletariat,” which gave them the
authority to adjudicate on everything in society, including the arts and
sciences. Lenin was an intellectual, at home as much in the British Museum
Library as in the Kremlin. Stalin was a published romantic poet and
enthusiastic autodidact with a library of thousands of books, not only read but
annotated. They had the confidence to interfere in every genre of art
and every discipline of science. Stalin would soon be hailed as the all-knowing
coryphaeus (leader of the chorus in Greek drama) of science.
Uncle Joe, as I think of him in this context, is all but
the inventor and distributor of the vaccine. His unnamed predecessor has been
“disappeared” from the history. He not only didn’t have anything to do with the
vaccine, he was an obstacle to it. Uncle Joe — he’s the “vaccinator” in
chief (emphasis on the last syllable or you will be eliminated).
John called out the thoroughgoing
gracelessness of Biden’s performance here yesterday.
Watching
Biden speak, one sees something beyond the gracelessness. Staring blankly at
the teleprompter, easily confused, struggling to read and articulate, Biden
appears to be out of it. He’s losing it, if he hasn’t yet lost it altogether.
We need the little boy to shout out, “The emperor wears no clothes!”
Toward the end of his remarks Biden “pushes” (his word)
his $1.9 trillion “recovery plan.” The lying is out of control.
Biden chooses “to close with this. The question I’m asked
most often is, when will things get back to normal?”
Biden’s answer combines the lying and the gracelessness
that permeate these remarks. The preface is a giveaway: “My answer is always
honest and straightforward.” This is Biden’s version of “to be perfectly
frank.”
“I can’t give you a date. I can only promise
that we’ll work as hard as we can to make that day come as soon as possible.
While things are improving are we’re going from a mess we inherited to moving
in the right direction at a significant speed, this is not a victory lap.”
Translation: Not any time soon.

STUDY:
Long term mask use breeds microbes that infiltrate the lungs and contribute to
advanced stage lung cancer
By: Lance D Johnson
A new study finds that cultivation and enrichment of microbes on the face can infiltrate the lungs through unconscious aspirations and cause inflammatory responses and advanced stage lung cancer. The nose and the mouth were designed to take in oxygen without strain, uninhibited. The oxygen travels down the trachea and splits off into two tubes called the bronchi. From there, the oxygen travels down a series of bronchioles until it reaches the alveoli, which are tiny air sacs covered with blood vessels. These air sacs take the oxygen directly to the heart, where it is dispersed throughout the body.
When a person exhales, the process is put in reverse and
the lungs exhale carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide gas is the vehicle that
allows the organ systems to rid the body of wastes. When this process is
obstructed or restrained for prolonged periods of time, the lungs and the heart
struggle to nourish the rest of the body. Long term mask wearing also hinders
the body’s natural ability to detoxify wastes, creates an acidic environment,
and slowly strains the organ systems throughout the body.
Masks are priming the lungs for inflammation
and lung cancer pathology
A study published in the journal Cancer Discovery finds
that lung cancer progresses when the lungs are forced to regurgitate microbes.
Prolonged mask use creates a moist environment that cultivates microbes. This
toxic environment not only forces the person to regurgitate their own wastes,
but also inundates the lungs with microbes that cause a toxic environment that
feeds lung cancer.
The researchers found that the lungs are not just a
sterile environment. When microbes inundate the lungs, they can active an
immune response. This causes inflammatory proteins such as the cytokine IL-17
to appear.
Microbes that are normally found in the mouth can make
their way into the lungs. “Given the known impact of IL-17 and inflammation on
lung cancer, we were interested in determining if the enrichment of oral
commensals in the lungs could drive an IL-17-type inflammation and influence
lung cancer progression and prognosis,” said Leopoldo Segal, Director of the
Lung Microbiome Program and Associate Professor of Medicine, New York
University Grossman School of Medicine. (Related: Masked schoolchildren are

Masks cultivate and enrich microbes that
infiltrate the lungs and cause immune suppression
The research team used diagnostic clinical bronchoscopies
to analyze the lung microbiomes of 83 untreated adult patients who were
diagnosed with lung cancer. They identified the composition of each microbial
environment and documented which genes were expressed as a result. They found
that lung tissue from patients with advanced state lung cancer (stages 3b-4)
was more enriched with microbes than lung tissue of patients who had early
stage disease.
This increased enrichment of oral bacteria in the lungs
was also associated with decreased chance of survival, no matter the stage of
tumors. The bacteria colonies that caused the most damage was Veillonella,
Prevotella, and Streptococcus bacteria, all of which are more readily
cultivated in a mask. Tumor progression was associated with the enrichment of
Veillonella, Prevotella, Streptococcus, and Rothia bacteria. The cultivated
microbes infiltrate the lungs and affect genetic expression, namely the p53,
PI3K/PTEN, ERK, and IL-6/IL-8 signaling pathways.
In further evaluation, the cultivation of Veillonella parvula in the lungs of mice led to expression of inflammatory proteins, increased expression of IL-17, and the presence of immune suppressing cells. “Given the results of our study, it is possible that changes to the lung microbiome could be used as a biomarker to predict prognosis or to stratify patients for treatment,” said Segal. Prolonged mask wearing not only puts strain on the heart and lungs but also cultivates a microbial environment that is more likely to infiltrate the lungs and create an environment of cancer.
CDC data shows that COVID-19 survival rate
for adults is 99.98%; chances of surviving coronavirus is over 99.9% for
most age groups
The coronavirus pandemic which started in Wuhan, China in December 2019 has claimed at least 253,600 American lives, according to the latest tracking data from Johns Hopkins University. In September, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington (IHME) predicted that more than 410,000 Americans could die from COVID-19 by the end of 2020.
With governments around the world imposing a new round of
lockdowns to combat the second wave of coronavirus, the question
remains: Just how deadly is the coronavirus? Who are the most
vulnerable and why? To answer some of these questions, researchers and
public-health officials use the infection fatality rate to determine how to
respond to the deadly virus.
In late August, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) published its findings on the survival rates for
COVID-19 and its controversial provisional death counts. CDC said
there is a high survival rate for COVID-19 and individuals are more likely
to survive the coronavirus after contracting it. According to the CDC
data, 94 percent of all coronavirus deaths, on average, have 2 or more
pre-existing conditions or causes per death or co-morbidities.
Based on the stats, it means that less than 10,000
Americans or 6% of the 161,392 US deaths are related to COVID-19 only. Put
another way, 94% of Americans who died from COVID-19 had other “types of health
conditions and contributing causes” in addition to the virus, the CDC said in
the updated report.
The latest CDC data on new survival rates for COVID-19
includes five COVID-19 pandemic planning scenarios “that are designed to
help inform decisions by public health officials who use mathematical modeling,
and by mathematical modelers throughout the federal government.” According
to the CDC, each scenario is based on a set of numerical values for
biological and epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 illness, which is caused
by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The five COVID-19 Pandemic Planning Scenarios also
represent a range of possible parameters for COVID-19 in the United States. All
parameter values are based on current COVID-19 surveillance data and scientific
knowledge. “Scenarios 1 through 4 are based on parameter values that represent
the lower and upper bounds of disease severity and viral transmissibility
(moderate to very high severity and transmissibility),” the CDC explained. The
CDC says that Scenario 5 represents a current best estimate about viral
transmission and disease severity in the United States, with the same caveat:
the parameter values will change as more data become available.
Below is a quick summary of the CDC COVID-19
Survival Rates.
Age 0-19 — 99.997%
Age 20-49 — 99.98%
Age 50-69 — 99.5%
Age 70+ — 94.6%
Below is Infection Fatality Ratio for Scenario
5: Current Best Estimate
R0* 2.5
Age 0-19 years: 0.00003
Age 20-49 years: 0.0002
Age 50-69 years: 0.005
Age 70+ years: 0.054
Looking at this data, one can argue that, the most
vulnerable age group does (Age 70 and older) does okay with an Infection
Fatality Ratio of 0.054. This CDC data should also be sufficient for everyone
to feel safe, get the kids back in school, and return back to work. The
findings also cast doubts on mainstream media narratives about the potential
lockdown later in the year.
Since most in our major news outlets remained silent
refuse to cover the news. The state of the media is so bad that it takes a
foreign journalist to report the news. Adam Creighton, an Economics
Editor, of The Australian and Co-Host of Business Weekend at Sky News
Australia, said this on Twitter, “The US govt last week updated the survival
rates (i.e., IF infected) for Covid19: …Didn’t see it reported much.”
Below is a screenshot of Table 1 of the CDC 5 planning
scenarios.
In Table 1 below, the Parameter Values
that vary among the five COVID-19 Pandemic Planning Scenarios. The scenarios
are intended to advance public health preparedness and planning. They are not
predictions or estimates of the expected impact of COVID-19. The parameter
values in each scenario will be updated and augmented over time, as we learn
more about the epidemiology of COVID-19. Additional parameter values might be
added in the future (e.g., population density, household transmission, and/or
race and ethnicity).
CDC is not alone in predicting a high survival rate for COVID-19 survival rate. Another study conducted by Stockholms Universitet in June 2020, reached a similar conclusion. The study titled, “Predicted COVID-19 Fatality Rates Based on Age, Sex, Comorbidities, and Health System Capacity,” found there is a 99.99 percent chance of surviving Covid-19. The study further suggests that the fatality rate from COVID-19 varies greatly across countries.
