peter daszak: supervillain origin story

taking a look at one of the more important and lesser studied players in the covid drama and his outright terrifying areas of research interest

I still wonder about Taiwan's apparent success in getting new cases down to between 1 and 7 per day (out of 23.5 million population). As I recollect, the spike in April was owing to a returning pilot who didn't disclose his outside contacts (official story). "Full vaccination" stands at just 15%, and anyway they seemed to have this thing down before vaccine rollout. It doesn't seem complicated to me, considering the comprehensive and decisive—and rather conventional—measures the Taiwan government took at the very outset.

I know, "they're an island," but so? The US government didn't even try. And why would they?

[Elvis]

Equally important is the fact that we still don't know what this is and what global leadership was briefed on in the early months of the outbreak. We can infer a great deal, especially in light of the fact that existing guidelines and consensus science on respiratory outbreaks was chucked out of the window and major expert organizations had such a curiously difficult time nailing down the parameters of transmission.

I'm kind of all about this.

Since the beginning of the health crisis, the French government has claimed that early treatment was ineffective. It has imposed major restrictions on our freedoms, in particular on doctors’ prescriptions,[1]

It has also promised that vaccination would achieve collective immunity, the end of the crisis and a return to normal life.

But the failure for 18 months of this so-called “health strategy” based on false simulations, innumerable lies, promises never kept, as well as the propaganda and fear campaign has become unbearable.

In turn this has been followed by the extortion of consent to be vaccinated, by outright blackmail, while curtailing our freedoms to move and socialize, our right to work and engage in leisure activities.

Are the current vaccines that they want to impose on us effective?

Can they lead to a collective immunity or is it only a myth? To answer this question, we will make the current sanitary assessment of the most vaccinated countries according to the figures provided by the World Health Organization and the curves of OurWorldinData. (From Vaccine outset in December 2020 to September 15, 2021)

Record mortality in Gibraltar, champion of Astra Zeneca injections

Gibraltar (34,000 inhabitants) started vaccination in December 2020 when the health agency counted only 1040 confirmed cases and 5 deaths attributed to covid19 in this country. After a very comprehensive vaccination blitz, achieving 115% coverage (vaccination was extended to many Spanish visitors), the number of new infections increased fivefold (to 5314) and the number of deaths increased 19fold. The number of deaths increased 19-fold, reaching 97, i.e. 2853 deaths per million inhabitants, which is one of the European mortality records. But those responsible for the vaccination deny any causal link without proposing any other plausible etiology. And after a few months of calm, the epidemic resumed, confirming that 115% vaccination coverage does not protect against the disease.



Malta: 84% vaccine coverage, but just as ineffective

Malta is one of the European champions of pseudo-vaccines: on this island of 500,000 inhabitants, nearly 800,000 doses have been administered, ensuring a vaccine coverage of nearly 84% with a delay of about 6 months.

But since the beginning of July 2021, the epidemic has started again and the serious (fatal) forms are increasing, forcing the authorities to recognize that vaccination does not protect the population and to impose restrictions.



Here again, the recurrence of the epidemic in terms of cases and mortality proves that a high rate of vaccination does not protect the population.

In Iceland, people no longer believe in herd immunity

In this small country of 360,000 inhabitants, more than 80% are primo-vaccinated and 75% have a complete vaccination cycle. But by mid-July 2021, new daily infections had risen from about 10 to about 120, before stabilizing at a rate higher than the pre-vaccination period. This sudden recurrence convinced the chief epidemiologist of the impossibility of obtaining collective immunity through vaccination. “It’s a myth,” he publicly declared.



Belgium: recurrence of the disease despite vaccination

In Belgium, nearly 75% of the population is primo-vaccinated. And 65% of the population has a complete vaccination cycle. However, since the end of June 2021, the number of new daily infections has risen from less than 500 to nearly 2000. As RTBF acknowledges, in the face of the Delta variant, current vaccination is far from sufficient to protect the population.

Singapore abandons the hope of “Zero Covid” through vaccines

This small country is also highly vaccinated and nearly 80% of the population has received at least one dose. But since August 20, 2021, it has had to face an exponential resumption of the epidemic with an increase in cases from about ten in June to more than 150 at the end of July and 1246 cases on September 24.



This uncontrolled recurrence of the disease despite vaccination has led to the abandonment of the strategy of eradicating the virus for a model of “living with the virus” by trying to treat the disease “like the flu“.

In the UK: a worrying rise in infections

The United Kingdom is the European champion of Astra Zeneca vaccination, with more than 70% of the population vaccinated for the first time, and 59% with a complete vaccination schedule. This high “vaccination” rate did not prevent an explosion of cases at the beginning of the summer, with up to 60,000 new cases per day by mid-July.

Faced with this significant resumption of the epidemic despite vaccination, Andrew Pollard, representative of the Oxford Vaccine Group, acknowledged before Parliament: “collective immunity through vaccination is a myth“.



his resumption of infections has been accompanied by a resumption of hospitalizations, severe cases and deaths. According to the official report of August,[2] deaths were more frequent among fully vaccinated patients (679) than among non-vaccinated patients (390), thus cruelly denying the hopes of a protective effect of the vaccine on mortality.

After the last sanitary restrictions were lifted, the epidemic decreased to a level of less than 30,000 cases per day, whereas at the beginning of July, simulations by covid specialists were predicting up to 100,000 new cases per day if the sanitary measures were removed.

Israel: obvious post-vaccination disaster denied by officials

Israel, champion of the Pfizer injection, once everywhere cited as an example of effectiveness, is now being harshly reminded of reality and is now the model of vaccine failure.

70% of the population is primo-vaccinated, and nearly 90% of those at risk have a complete vaccination cycle. But the epidemic has rebounded stronger than ever since the end of June, and more than 11,000 new cases were recorded in 1 day (September 14, 2021) surpassing the peaks seen in January 2021 during the outbreak following the first Pfizer injections by nearly 50%.



This resumption of the epidemic, despite the Pfizer injections, is accompanied by an increase in hospitalizations where the vaccinated represent the majority of those hospitalized.



Vaccination does not protect against severe forms of the disease or against death.



End of July: 71% of the 118 seriously ill Israelis (serious, critical) were fully vaccinated!

This proportion of seriously ill people vaccinated is much higher than the proportion of fully vaccinated people: 61%. To claim that the vaccine protects against serious forms of the disease, as the Israeli Minister of Health imprudently declared, is a mistake (or disinformation?).

In order not to acknowledge its mistakes, the Israeli government remains in denial of this obvious failure and continues to propose only vaccination as a solution. How many more deaths will it take before it follows the example of India or Japan and finally adopts early treatment?

Conclusions

The current pseudo vaccines are not effective enough. They do not prevent the recurrence of the epidemic, nor hospitalizations, nor severe forms, nor death. In Israel and Great Britain, which specify the vaccination status of the victims, the vaccinated suffer from an increased risk of mortality compared to the non-vaccinated.

The pursuit of a vaccine-only policy leads to a deadly impasse, whereas countries that officially advise early treatment (India) or allow their doctors to prescribe it (Japan, Korea) fare much better.



What are our health authorities waiting for to stop believing in false simulations carried out by epidemiologists who are too closely linked to vaccine companies, to look at the proven facts and to interrupt their deceptive and deleterious pro-vaccination campaign and recommend early treatment?

The continuation of the ban on early treatment by treating physicians leads to a loss of chances for many patients and directly engages the responsibility of the government and particularly the Minister of Health.

Dr Gérard Delépine is an oncologist and statistician.

[stickdog99]

Any intelligent observer (factoring in the existence of Covid19 in populations throughout 2019 though minus any spike in excess deaths in that year) would conclude that everything done in the name of Health since early 2020 is precisely what has killed above average numbers of people between that period and now.

It's pretty hard to avoid that conclusion if you are openminded enough to even consider it.

they're at 15% vaccination. U.S. is over 50%. What measures are you referring to? Can you spell them out?

Also, What about Australia? Or New Zealand? Or Singapore? Or the Philippines?

Singapore has 85% of its population at least partially vaccinated, exactly the number “expert” Peter Hotez says would get us past COVID. They also have one of the world’s longest mask mandates.

Doesn’t look like they’ve gotten past it, does it?

Over 76% of Australia’s total COVID cases have been reported since 11/5/20 when the Washington Post praised Australia for “following science” to near elimination

Yet somehow they’re still pretending the people who determine The Science™ have any idea what they’re doing



On 7/15 when Victoria mandated masks anytime outside the house, they were averaging 4 cases per day. Cases are up 33,025% since & they’re now averaging the equivalent of ~90,000 cases per day in the US

Even with the strictest enforcement in the world, masks still aren’t working!

https://twitter.com/ianmSC/status/14454 ... 02818?s=20

https://twitter.com/ianmSC/status/14454 ... 76322?s=20

Back on 7/17/20, the NY Times credited the Philippines with the highest rate of mask wearing in the world

They had reported 61,160 cases by that point — they’ve reported 2,409,015 since. ~98% of the total after world leading compliance

How are we still pretending masks matter?

https://twitter.com/ianmSC/status/14422 ... 86273?s=20

Newly reported deaths in Hawaii have risen 1,740% in the past two months despite one of the longest mask mandates in the world & overwhelming compliance…

@nytimes

New Zealand is abandoning its "Covid zero" goal of eliminating the coronavirus. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern acknowledged an end to the strategy seven weeks into a lockdown that has failed to halt an outbreak of the Delta variant.

Cases in New Zealand are rising again, which is bizarre because I was assured by fanatical New Zealand COVID twitter that their lockdown would eradicate COVID in a matter of days

https://twitter.com/ianmSC/status/14447 ... 20481?s=20

Meanwhile, Norway, Sweden, Denmarrk and Japan have essentially removed most if not all restrictions. Norway has the highest vaccine compliance rate of that group, but Japan's is only about 59%, I believe. They acknowledge that it's seasonal/endemic. (though the current mass experimentation with leaky vaccine mandates may well be exacerbating and prolonging this crisis. Time will tell).

what is Taiwan doing? Do we know how they're testing and reporting? You may have previously provided their methods, but if you can re-share that'd be appreciated as I'd like to compare and contrast.

Clearly, however, from the above examples, mandates of various forms DO NOT WORK.
(and by extension, mask usage does not work, nor do mass vaccination campaigns, as many cities with high vaxx rates and high mask compliance rates continue to see increased cases, etc.)

Over 200 million people have now been vaccinated in the US. 68% of adults are fully vaccinated and 78% have had at least one dose.

Yet covid cases and deaths are more than double what they were this same time last year.

Per a report from @Forbes, more Americans have died from Covid-19 so far in 2021 than in all of 2020.

Nick Hudson Interview – The Covid Operation As A Battle Of Ideologies
Posted on October 7, 2021

Joining me today is Nick Hudson, Co-Founder & Chairman of PANDA (Pandemics ~ Data & Analytics), here to discuss COVID-19 from a statistical perspective, as well as the ongoing ideological battle within this country that COVID-19 has clearly exacerbated. This has given rise to a new arm of this extreme political divide.

Answer: He didn't. It was the Zebra Crossing.

Dr. Keith Berkowitz Calls for Doctors to End the Covid Civil War of Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated

The renowned NYC internist says doctors must renew their Hippocratic Oath, reject the callous "one-size-fits-all" approach, and treat patients as individuals—or harm the doctor-patient bond.

Dr. Keith Berkowitz

Dr. Berkowitz is the Medical Director of the Center for Balanced Health in Midtown Manhattan and a founder of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance. He was formerly a professor of medicine at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York, an associate of the late Dr. Robert Atkins, and medical director of the Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine.

Now as we approach the nineteenth month of this COVID-19 pandemic, I am shocked at the current narrative. The anger that is being expressed in our community is disturbing. Families and friends are being divided based on vaccination status and medical beliefs. Both sides are adamant that they are right and blame the other side for the current medical situation. In Washington, D.C., they are threatening health care workers with losing their license if they do not receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Health care workers who a year ago were viewed as heroes as they tirelessly cared at enormous personal risk for covid patients are now being viewed as the villain less than one year later.

What is more disturbing is the comments I read on social media such as “they can choose…a different profession.” Why have we become so callous and decided that “one size fits all”? In fact, it was only six years ago that President Barack Obama announced that the United States would embark on a government-funded precision medicine initiative that will enroll over one million people. My question is why we are not following this advice today.

I know we are in the middle of a terrible pandemic where many have lost their lives. This is a great tragedy for the many families who lost a loved one. To end this unnecessary suffering, we must first take a “time-out.” We need to first end this “civil war” pitting the vaccinated against the unvaccinated. Every individual in this country is someone’s brother, sister, father, mother, daughter and/or son. We need to work together to find a solution. As a medical student in the 1990s, I witnessed firsthand the devastation caused by the AIDS epidemic. While training at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York, I saw the overwhelming toll this illness took on health care providers, patients, and families alike. Because this was a new virus, science was constantly evolving. I remember being a fourth-year medical student helping take care of a patient on mechanical ventilation on a regular medical floor because of a shortage of ICU beds. My attending physician at the time taught me the importance of trying every drug in our arsenal (as long as they do not harm the patient) in order to give these individuals a chance at survival. He reminded me that medicine is both a science and an art that often relies on a “trial and error” approach. What he said we must never do is watch and wait when potential options are available. Today’s comparison would be the families rushing to court to get the hospitals to prescribe FDA approved medications off-label.

This is why the term “follow the science” really bothers me. This phrase is misleading especially in a pandemic of a novel virus where information is constantly changing. Because of this, we are constantly “reacting” and changing guidelines. Following one narrative can often be dangerous as it does not allow for discussion and disclosure. My brother often jokingly reminds me that “medicine is practice, so let me know when you get it right.” Moses Maimonides, a twelfth century physician, said this best in the following prayer:

Keep far from me the delusion that I can accomplish all things. Give me the strength, the will, and the opportunity to amplify my knowledge more and more. Today I can disclose things in my knowledge which yesterday I would not yet have dreamt of, for the Art is great, but the human mind presses on untiringly.

In this situation, we must not forget the most important person in this equation, the patient. Medical practice must not become so rigid to be only about the science. Each patient is an individual, and the solution must be personalized for each one. Otherwise, we are in danger of damaging the doctor and patient relationship. Trust is a fundamental characteristic of the physician-patient relationship. Patients must trust that their physicians will work in their best interests to achieve optimal health outcomes. We must be flexible and avoid this one size fits all approach. Although the greater good is important, we must not lose sight of the person that sits in front of us. In that encounter the individual is our priority and deserves our best. As my mentor told me while I was a medical student, “…a patient’s trust in a health care provider is both a great gift but also a great responsibility that no one should take lightly.”

Action steps that I feel are necessary to help us move forward include:

1. Focus on helping individuals take steps through lifestyle, supplementation, and diet which help strengthen overall immunity and prevent disease

2. “Listen to our patients”—they know their body better than us and let us partner with each individual to develop a plan together which will help protect them

3. Keep the medical office as a safe destination where all individuals feel cared for no matter what their individual beliefs and/or vaccination status

4. Gather our great scientific minds including frontline healthcare providers and encourage disclosure and discussion to help find a better solution

5. Look for outside examples, other countries, and learn from their successes and failures in formulating public policy

6. Most importantly, keep an “open mind” when looking for potential solutions

In spring 2020, Dr. Keith Berkowitz discovered in the medical literature the life-saving covid treatments developed by Drs. Paul Marik, Pierre Kory, Joseph Varon, Umberto Meduri, and Jose Iglesias and suggested they form the FLCCC to help bring their protocols to the world.

they're at 15% vaccination. U.S. is over 50%. What measures are you referring to? Can you spell them out?

Most recently I summarized Taiwan 's actions back on page 241:

Looking again at Taiwan, where new Covid cases are one per day. That's out of 23 million people.

What did Taiwan do that's different?

The Taiwan government:

- immediately took command of the necessary resources
- immediately banned export of PPE
- guaranteed to manufacturers the purchase of all PPE they could make
- tested people daily
- conducted unintrusive contact tracing
- imposed limited isolation
- provided quarantine facilities for infected persons
- encouraged use of facemasks, provided free.

The US did pretty much the opposite, sitting on its hands, letting the "free market" make book. In Taiwan they're playing baseball in crowded stadiums again.

The "unintrusive" tracing part is from an article I read that said Taiwanese are jealous of their privacy, and the government, being sensitive to that, used some method that didn't use their phones. Sorry, I didn't save the URLs, but I think the general reportage goes along those lines.

Notice vaccines aren't on the list; it seems they weren't really necessary with ordinary prevention measures—granted, at extraordinary levels, but I think they just had a good plan together. Who knows?—maybe the April spike was caused by the vaccine? I don't know.

[drstrangelove]

Three Victorians MPs are set to be banned from Parliament next month for refusing to get vaccinated or produce evidence of their inoculation status.

Late on Thursday night, the state government circulated a motion to upper house members stating that, “in order to protect the health and safety of members and parliamentary staff”, MPs must have their first jab by October 22.

. . .

The move would make Victoria the first state to block vaccine-hesitant MPs from voting on behalf of their constituents.

It would also strengthen the government’s position in the upper house, where it holds 17 of 40 seats and often relies on crossbenchers to pass legislation. If Mr Limbrick and Mr Quilty were excluded, the government would need two crossbench votes, rather than three, because 19 votes would secure a majority.

Mr Limbrick said the government was using the mandate to reduce the number of MPs likely to vote against an upcoming emergency powers bill that would give it the legal ability to enforce many public health rules.
