UK Cardiologist notes link between mRNA Vac and heart disease
Yes, Covid was genetically manipulated, with patent applications going back to 1999, by Fauci, DARPA, and the Chinese Communist Bioweapons lab in Wuhan, made to target the human lungs, and boosted by billionaire/ eugenicist Bill Gates, while the inventors of mRNA and PCR science have both soundly condemned how they are being used now, and the powers that be wargamed a bioweapon release and how governments and media should respond in the convocation EVENT 201, held shortly before the outbreak.
All the foregoing all provable facts.
Fauci lied about funding gain of function research at the Communist Chinese bioweapons lab in Wuhan. He's constantly lied about the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the "vaccines," and in other things... such as his constantly moving goalposts.
These so-called "vaccines" do not provide immunity, permits the virus to mutate within the bodies of the vaxxed, and permits the mutated virus to to spread by them to others.
What little reporting of deaths and adverse events from these Jabs far exceed-- on orders of magnitudes -- the deaths and adverse events caused by all previous vaccines combined over the past 30 years.
Look to who are exempted from these experimental Jab mandates.
And now this:
The recently published “warning” in the journal Circulation by cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry, known as a pioneer in infant heart transplant surgery, is having reverberations around the cardiology community. Gundry’s analysis was presented at the recent meeting of the American Heart Association.
“We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.”

Cancer vaccines to be at heart of 'national war' against deadly illness in UK using mRNA vaccines.
In response to: Vaccines to treat and potentially cure cancer will be at the heart of a “national war” on the disease over the next decade, Sajid Javid will say on Thursday.
The Health Secretary will set out a vision to make Britain a “world leader” in cancer care, amid warnings of some 50,000 missing diagnoses since the start of the pandemic.
Mr Javid will promise a 10-year Cancer Plan for England, which will use new technologies - including mRNA vaccines - to find new ways to boost survival rates.
Scientists who pioneered the jabs to protect people against Covid are examining whether similar methods can be used to train the immune system to recognise and attack cancer cells, preventing regrowth.
Mr Javid will also promise improvements in diagnosing cancer earlier, “so fewer people face the heartache of losing a loved one to this wretched disease”.
Late diagnosis has meant Britain’s cancer survival rates lagged behind many other Western nations, even before the pandemic.
Tens of thousands of people are being recruited to take part in trials of a blood test which could detect more than 50 types of cancer before symptoms appear.
In a speech at the Francis Crick Institute in London, the Health Secretary will launch an eight-week “call for evidence” to inform the 10-year plan, to be published later in the year.
“Let this be the day where we declare a national war on cancer,” he is expected to tell scientists, promising a plan which “learns the lessons from the pandemic” and applies the advances to cancer care.
The Health Secretary is expected to promise “a far-reaching look at how we want cancer care to be in 2032”, encompassing prevention, diagnosis, treatment and vaccines.
Officials are working on plans to intensify research on mRNA vaccines for cancer, bringing together learning gained through the pandemic, with expertise in cancer immunotherapy treatment.

Fingers crossed these vaccines will prolong lives and stop the suffering and pain caused by cancer.
Goes to show how good can come from something as devastating as a pandemic controlled with mRNA vaccines.
Cancer vaccines will not be mandatory.

I got dilated today...
Eye exam. Originally scheduled for last year, pushed back as the doctor decided to take a holiday vacation. No cataracts, no signs of glaucoma. The blurred vision is because my left eye is weaker than the right and my standard glasses need to be changed.
I left the office with disposable sunglasses as blurred vision was at maximum. Good thing the vision center was only a mile from my home. I took the day off from work and it was a good thing as I had a splitting headache and couldn't focus for a few hours.
It was dark 7 hours later when I went grocery shopping and bright lights from car headlights had a slight blue 'edge' when I blinked. I'm thinking that was a reaction from the eye drops.
Hopefully, I'll be back in business tomorrow.

Does vitamin D protect against Covid after all?
Israeli study finds patients who are deficient are up to 14 TIMES more likely to fall severely ill.
Vitamin D may help fight off coronavirus after all, a study suggests.
The jury has been out on the 'sunshine vitamin' since early in the pandemic, with conflicting findings muddying the waters.
Papers that did find a link were deemed not rigorous enough and not definitive. But a new study — this time in Israel — claims to have the most conclusive evidence yet.
Previous research has been criticised for only looking at vitamin D levels when the Covid patient was already in hospital.
Being ill is known to make levels of the vitamin drop, which may have skewed findings, according to critics.
To overcome this limitation, in their latest study, researchers from Bar Ilan University and the Galilee Medical Center looked at patient records up to two years before they were diagnosed with Covid.
They found people who were consistently deficient in the vitamin were up to 14 times more likely to suffer severe disease, even after adjusting for age and other underlying health woes.
The patients were in hospital before Israel's vaccine rollout was widespread and scientists said its findings should be seen as a green light for anti-vaxxers to turn to supplements instead.
People are still strongly encourage to get jabbed, with extra vitamin D only offering a helping hand alongside more steadfast protection against the virus.
The researchers measured vitamin D levels in 253 adult Covid patients from April 2020 to February 2021.
Those with vitamin D deficiencies were found to be significantly more likely to develop severe Covid than patients with high levels of the vitamin.
They said the association was so strong they could predict Covid patient outcomes just by their age and vitamin D levels.
Vitamin D is vital in helping the immune system respond properly to the virus, they said. But they could not prove higher vitamin D levels were the only factor behind better disease outcomes in Covid patients.
Dr Amiel Dror, a physician at RMC and one of the researchers behind the study, said the results were also as important for Omicron as the previous variants patients in the paper had.
It comes on the back of a host of studies suggesting the 'sunshine vitamin' — usually sourced from sunlight — can help protect against the virus.
But the research was not deemed strong enough by the UK Department of Health to warrant continuing A previous scheme of giving out 3p Vitamin D pills to the clinically vulnerable in winter.

So tell me again how catching covid gives a victim natural immunity , I like to laugh
Thousands of covid victims re infected with Omicron ,
one serious point is that its about 4 months worth of cover from vaccines . Any damn fool farmer knows that to treat animals with a therapy that has such a low effectiveness sooner or later that effectiveness is lost . The time that was bought with vaccines is being lost certainly for first world nations while Ivermec is being produced for third world countries .
A U.N.-backed agency has struck a deal for nearly 30 generic drugmakers to make low-cost versions of Merck & Co's COVID-19 pill molnupiravir for poorer nations, widening access to a drug seen as a weapon in fighting the pandemic.
The antiviral pill, which in December received emergency approval in the United States, reduces hospitalizations and deaths of high-risk patients by around 30%, according to clinical trial results.
The deal, negotiated by the U.N.-backed Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) with Merck, will expand output by increasing the number of companies that will produce the drug, after Merck entered into licensing agreements with eight Indian drugmakers in October.

I wonder at the intelligence of people who claim Ivermec does not work . What would somebodys motive be to say such a thing .

Most Deaths During The Spanish Flu Were Due To Bacterial Pneumonia
How Many Deaths Attributed To Covid May Be Due To Bacterial Pneumonia?
I.E. People may've Died WITH Covid but FROM Bacterial Pneumonia?
How many lives may've been Saved if Covid patients had been treated with Antibiotics?
But antibiotics weren't Prescribed because Covid is Viral - Not Bacterial?
It also raises the question whether widespread masking is sound Public Health Policy.
All that information was Available WELL Before Covid arrived on the scene.

BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA CAUSED MOST DEATHS IN 1918 INFLUENZA PANDEMIC
IMPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE PANDEMIC PLANNING
(Emphasis mine, Mick)
The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs.
The work presents complementary lines of evidence from the fields of pathology and history of medicine to support this conclusion. "The weight of evidence we examined from both historical and modern analyses of the 1918 influenza pandemic favors a scenario in which viral damage followed by bacterial pneumonia led to the vast majority of deaths," says co-author NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. In essence, the VIRUS landed the first blow while BACTERIA delivered the knockout punch."

Summary:
Respiratory infection is much higher among healthcare workers wearing cloth masks compared to medical masks, research shows. Cloth masks should not be used by workers in any healthcare setting, authors of the new study say.
The widespread use of cloth masks by healthcare workers may actually put them at increased risk of respiratory illness and viral infections and their global use should be discouraged, according to a UNSW study.

Japanese Doctor on Fitness
Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that's it... Don't waste time on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart saying you extend life of a car by driving faster. Want to live longer? - Take nap.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: Oh no. Wine made from fruit. Fruit very good. Brandy distilled wine, that means they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Grain good too. - Bottoms up!
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program
A: Can't think of one, sorry. My philosophy: No pain...very good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food fried in vegetable oil. How can getting more vegetable be bad?
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: You crazy?!? HEL-LO-O-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around.
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming good for figure, explain whale to me.
Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is also a shape!
Well... I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.
Finally, the Japanese Doctor summed up: Look mister, Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Beer in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride my life was"!!!!!
Eat whatever you like because you will still DIE, don't allow motivational speakers deceive you.
1. The inventor of the treadmill died at the age of 54.
2. The inventor of gymnastics died at the age of 57.
3. The world bodybuilding champion died at the age of 41.
4. The best footballer in the world Maradona died at the age of 60.
BUT
5. The KFC inventor died at 94.
6. Inventor of Nutella brand died at the age of 88.
7. Imagine, cigarette maker Winston died at the age of 102.
8. The inventor of opium died at the age of 116 in an earthquake.
9. Hennessey Cognac inventor died at 98.
How did these doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life?The rabbit is always jumping up and down but it lives for only 2 years and the turtle that doesn’t exercise at all, lives 400 years.So, take some rest, Chill, stay cool, eat, drink, and enjoy your life.

If only he had listened and followed directions
From The New Yorker;
Andy was particularly spot on with this one from over a month ago.
If Trump stayed away allowing Fauci to handle the pandemic,
things would have been much better, than the chaos Trump fostered.
Less infections would have occurred, more centralized equipment & supplies acquistion at the federal level and more lives would have been saved.

Satire from The Borowitz Report
America’s Teachers Urge Trump to Use Time at Home to Repeat First Grade
By Andy Borowitz
March 31, 2020
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump should use this time when he is staying at home to repeat first grade, the nation’s teachers are urging.
Carol Foyler, the executive director of the National Alliance of Elementary Educators, said that the homebound Trump has a “golden opportunity” to use remote learning to repeat the first-grade curriculum.
“At a time when many of our nation’s children are being homeschooled, this seems like the perfect time for President Trump to learn the basics of reading, writing, and math,” she said. “By June, he could be reading ‘Hop on Pop’ and ‘Go, Dog, Go!’ ”
She added that anyone at the White House would be qualified to homeschool Trump, “except Jared.”
Foyler acknowledged that the plan for Trump to repeat first grade had faced dissent from some of the nation’s teachers, who felt strongly that he should first repeat kindergarten.
“From an educational standpoint, the kindergarten curriculum is mainly devoted to socialization and getting along with others,” she said. “I think the ship has sailed on that.”
That disagreement aside, Foyler said that the nation’s elementary educators were prepared to offer Trump a broad array of online learning resources. “He will have everything he needs to repeat first grade while Dr. Fauci runs the country,” she said.

Some very good news on the Covid-19 vaccine front
Trials involving 500 people in the UK given a vaccine developed by Oxford University produced BOTH
antibodies and T-cell reactions. Antibodies help in the shorter term, but a T cell reaction may give protection for over a year. Phase 3 trials will be undertaken soon depending upon the results to that, the vaccine may be ready to distribute to the public as early as September or October.
This is the first vaccine for protection against Covid-19 that has shown both antibody & T cell responses.
The full details of the study should be available later today.

Omicron variant appears to be ‘super mild‘ mutation with Covid death rate not jumping
In response to: The WHO and Coronavirus experts are increasingly convinced the new Omicron variant is ‘super mild’ and has, so far, not led to a jump in Covid death rates anywhere in Southern Africa.
The WHO is calling this morning for countries to drop travel restrictions and end the mass hysteria, and instead be cautiously optimistic as more and more reports out of South Africa suggest the new Omicron variant is not more lethal than the previous Delta variant.
In fact, there have been no reports of hospitalisations or deaths as a result of anyone being diagnosed with Omicron.
Most patients merely experience a severe headache, nausea, dizziness and a high pulse rate, according to hospitals and medics across Southern Africa.
However, the news of the new variant, first reported in South Africa, led to mass hysteria around the world: markets thumbed and dozens of countries imposed travel restrictions and additional checks, including the UK, US, EU, Israel, Australia and Japan after the new mutation popped up in the UK, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic and Israel among other countries.
Dr Angelique Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association, said this reaction was “medically seen, not justified.”
A GP for over three decades, and chair of the South African Medical Association, she was the first African doctor to suggest to local authorities Covid had mutated into a new strain.
Coetzee called the response from many European countries, including the UK, “just a hype.”
South Africa’s health minister Joe Phaahla also said the majority of cases of Omicron seen by doctors in his country have been “mild”.
Asked what he knows about how unwell people are who have it, Dr Phaahla said: “It is still too early at this stage.
He added he has heard from GPs that the “majority of the people they’ve been seeing are mild.”
“Our clinicians have not witnessed severe illness. Part of it may be because the majority of those who are positive are young people,” Dr Paahla added.
Hundreds of infected people across Southern Africa reportedly complain of nausea, headaches, fatigue and a high pulse rate, but none seem to suffer from a loss of taste or smell, which has been the case with most other Covid mutations.
Moreover, more and more medics across Southern Africa are confirming that most Omicron-infected patients merely have a severe headache, nausea or dizziness.

This is the latest info on the Omicron variant.
I believe the UK and other countries made a knee jerk reaction and need to calm down and follow the science, not speculation.
To date there has not been a single death from this version of covid.
