Anonymous doctor 21.4.20 - Respiratory doctor blows whistle on fake virus pandemic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVe3PQ-dHwY&feature=youtu.be Any incoming patient is labelled a Covid patient. Most patients were never tested but were recorded as Covid deaths no matter what they died of. They’re showing the numbers like a football game to scare yo. I’ve never seen bodies loaded into a tractor trailer. I really don’t believe that they were bodies. All this stuff is fake. There is no shortage of ventilators. This is not invasive ventilation – this CPAP of BiPAP* but we were not allowed to use them – they said it would cause the virus to spread. You have to let the patient crash and go straight to a ventilator. Everything that we would traditionally do, we’re not allowed to do. They’re not testing for a virus. This Covid test is different. They’re testing for an RNA sequence for a reaction to the virus. Then they put it in a PCR, which amplifies it, so if there is one little shred of that RNA sequence from a damaged cell in you lungs or in your nasal passage, you’re going to test positive. That can come from cancer, radiation, from several things. And then you hear all this talk on the news about antibody therapy and people wanting to donate plasma but they’re not talking about the virus itself and that’s a big issue. Is this as infectious as they’re telling us it is? If so, these machines would all be in use and people would be dying and we’re not seeing that. This is unbelievable. Every bit of this has been created. … . I truly believe it is something else causing all this. H1N1 was a million times more scary compared 2 5G / Coronavirus Briefing 16 May 2020 Available at http://toxi.com/5g to Covid-19. You cannot vaccinate yourself for a sinus infection. I’m not sure that this is a virus. Does this warrant shutting down the country? For all you Trump supporters out there, we’re doing the same thing they’re doing in France, Italy, the UK so does that mean Trump is really in charge of this whole thing? Because I really don’t think he is. I think he’s being told to do what he’s doing. I think this is Deep State. Illuminati stuff. They’re shutting the world down. The world. And they’re putting our kids and grandkids in severe debt for this scam that will never be paid off. Please ask questions, do your homework. Why are we having auto-manufacturers make ventilators? Who’s testing them? How much are we paying for them. Is this going to be another corporate bailout where they give themselves million-dollar bonuses while we starve? * The difference between CPAP, BiPAP and ventilators: https://aeroflowinc.com/need-ventilator- instead-bipap-cpap/ Atlas 26.4.20 - Former neuroradiology chief at Stanford Medical Center gives us the facts and the news is good: https://www.redstate.com/elizabeth-vaughn/2020/04/26/stanford-medical-center- neuroradiology-chief-gives-us-the-stats-tells-americans-to-go-back-to- work/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&bcid=61d724a167f ebce3dc451e400551e837 [Ed. The inclusion of items in this Briefing does not imply endorsement of the stated opinions.] Dr. Scott Atlas, the former neuroradiology chief at Stanford University Medical Center, wrote an op- ed at The Hill on Friday that every American should read. He lays out five key facts that no one is paying attention to. He calls on policymakers “to ignore the panic and rely on facts. Leaders must examine accumulated data to see what has actually happened, rather than keep emphasizing hypothetical projections; combine that empirical evidence with fundamental principles of biology established for decades; and then thoughtfully restore the country to function.” The bottom line is that the mortality rate for COVID is equivalent to the annual flu. Atlas makes the case that total isolation no longer makes sense and that it’s time for Americans to go back to work. Fact 1: The recent Stanford University antibody study concluded the death rate to be between 0.1 to 0.2 percent, in other words, right in line with the seasonal flu. Initial projected death rates from the World Health Organization “were 20 to 30 times higher.” Please take a look at the following statistics from New York City: Death Rate: Under 18 years old: zero and (0 per 100,000 in the population) 18 to 45 years old: 0.01 percent (11 per 100,000 in the population) 75 and over: 0.80 percent (death rate is 80 times that of 18 to 45 years old) Of all fatal cases in New York State: Over 70 years of age: 2/3 of all deaths Over 50 years of age: 95 percent Underlying illness: 90 percent Of 6,570 confirmed COVID-19 deaths fully investigated for underlying conditions to date: 6,520, or 99.2 percent, had an underlying illness. Dr. Atlas concludes that “if you do not already have an underlying chronic condition, your chances of dying are small, regardless of age. And young adults and children in normal health have almost no risk of any serious illness from COVID-19.” Fact 2: Hospitalizations in New York City as of Friday, April 24: 34,600 Under 18 years old: 0.01 percent 18-44 years old: 0.10 percent 65 to 74 years old: 1.7 percent Dr. Leora Horwitz of NYU Medical Center concluded: “age is far and away the strongest risk factor for hospitalization.” Dr. Atlas notes that early on, even WHO reported that 80 percent of all cases were mild. It’s been said many times that 50 percent of all cases are asymptomatic. “The vast majority of younger, otherwise healthy people do not need significant medical care if they catch this infection,” Dr. Atlas said. Fact 3: 2 3 5G / Coronavirus Briefing 16 May 2020 Available at http://toxi.com/5g The quarantines have prevented us from achieving herd immunity. This, Dr. Atlas points out is just “prolonging the problem.” In the last week or so, we’ve seen several studies showing that 30 percent or more of groups tested are found to have developed antibodies. For most people who test positive for COVID, “medical care is not even necessary. In fact, infected people without severe illness are the immediately available vehicle for establishing widespread immunity. By transmitting the virus to others in the low-risk group who then generate antibodies, they block the network of pathways toward the most vulnerable people, ultimately ending the threat. Extending whole-population isolation would directly prevent that widespread immunity from developing.” Fact 4: “People are dying because other medical care is not getting done due to hypothetical projections.” This is something that we’re starting to hear about more and more. Due to COVID, people were asked to postpone elective surgeries and procedures. Not only that, many people have skipped appointments with their cardiologists and other doctors because they are afraid of contracting the virus in a medical facility. The fear factor has resulted in what could have been preventable deaths. Dr. Atlas writes: Critical health care for millions of Americans is being ignored and people are dying to accommodate “potential” COVID-19 patients and for fear of spreading the disease. Most states and many hospitals abruptly stopped “nonessential” procedures and surgery. That prevented diagnoses of life-threatening diseases, like cancer screening, biopsies of tumors now undiscovered and potentially deadly brain aneurysms. Treatments, including emergency care, for the most serious illnesses were also missed. Cancer patients deferred chemotherapy. An estimated 80 percent of brain surgery cases were skipped. Acute stroke and heart attack patients missed their only chances for treatment, some dying and many now facing permanent disability. This is one of the unintended effects of the quarantine and it’s bigger than you might think. I’ll be expanding on this subject in a post later today. Fact 5: We know that the elderly and those with underlying health issues are the most vulnerable members of the population. And those who fall into this category should absolutely remain in quarantine. “Knowing that,” says Dr. Atlas, “it is a commonsense, achievable goal to target isolation policy to that group, including strictly monitoring those who interact with them. Nursing home residents, the highest risk, should be the most straightforward to systematically protect from infected people, given that they already live in confined places with highly restricted entry.” We must “strictly protect the known vulnerable, self-isolate the mildly sick and open most workplaces and small businesses with some prudent large-group precautions. This would allow the essential socializing to generate immunity among those with minimal risk of serious consequence, while saving lives, preventing overcrowding of hospitals and limiting the enormous harms compounded by continued total isolation.

  • COVID-19. Rarely Does the World Offer Proof of an Academic Argument, and Even More Rarely in a Single Word Or Term
    PREFACE TO THE PAPERBACK uU COVID-19. Rarely does the world offer proof of an academic argument, and even more rarely in a single word or term. But there it is. COVID-19 has shown us in the starkest terms—life and death—what happens when we don’t trust science and defy the advice of experts. As of this writing, the United States leads the world in both total cases and total deaths from COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus that appeared in 2019. One might think that death rates would be highest in China, where the virus first emerged and doctorswere presumably caught unpre- pared, but that is not the case. According to The Lancet— the world’s premier medical journal—as of early October 2020, China had confirmed 90,604 cases of COVID-19 and 4,739 deaths, while the United States had registered 7,382,194 cases and 209,382 deaths.1 And China has a population more than four times that of the United States. If the United States had a pandemic pattern similar to China, we would have seen only 22,500 cases and 1128 deaths. While COVID-19 has killed people across the globe, death rates have been far higher in the United States than in other wealthy countries, such as Germany, Iceland, South Korea, New Zealand, and Taiwan, and even than in some much poorer x • Preface to the Paperback countries, such as Vietnam.2 The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine puts the US death rate per 100,000 people at 65.5.3 In Germany it is 11.6.

Pease read the attached letter from my 9-year-old, from District 54, who's goal it is in school this year to Be a Better writer! He has an IEP. This letter was a 2-day labor of love. We are concerned he would Be denied a puBlic education if this Bill passes and per his IEP, we feel he would Be discriminated against. His letter is attached in this email and it is also copied here fully (he got tired of writing and shortened it), included in my first point of concern, Below titled: Civil Rights/Discrimination. HB 3063 is an infringement on our right to bodily autonomy and informed consent. The US Supreme Court has ruled vaccines as 'unavoidably unsafe' and where there is risk, there must Be choice.

  • How the World Is, and Has Been Controlled by the Same Families for Millennia
    How the World is, and has been controlled by the same Families for Millennia These are the Secret Elite Families that rule the world from behind the scenes and what WE can do to change society for the better Let us begin with a quick look at the current (as of May 2015) British Prime Minister David Cameron; Aristocracy and politics Cameron descends from King William IV and his mistress Dorothea Jordan through their illegitimate daughter Lady Elizabeth FitzClarence to the fifth female generation Enid Agnes Maud Levita. His father's maternal grandmother, Stephanie Levita (née Cooper) was the daughter of Sir Alfred Cooper and Lady Agnes Duff (sister of Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife) and a sister of Duff Cooper, 1st Viscount Norwich GCMG DSO PC, the Conservative statesman and author. His paternal grandmother, Enid Levita, who married secondly in 1961 a younger son of the 1st Baron Manton, was the daughter of Arthur Levita and niece of Sir Cecil Levita KCVO CBE, Chairman of London County Council in 1928. Through the Mantons, Cameron also has kinship with the 3rd Baron Hesketh KBE PC, Conservative Chief Whip in the House of Lords 1991–93. Cameron's maternal grandfather was Sir William Mount, 2nd Baronet, an army officer and the High Sheriff of Berkshire, and Cameron's maternal great-grandfather was Sir William Mount Bt CBE, Conservative MP for Newbury 1910–1922. Lady Ida Feilding, Cameron's great-great grandmother, was third daughter of William Feilding, Earl of Denbigh and Desmond GCH PC, a courtier and Gentleman of the Bedchamber.

Giglio A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for a Dual-Degree with Honors (International Affairs and Political Science) The Honors College The University of Maine May 2021 Advisory Committee: Richard Powell, Professor of Political Science, Advisor Mark Brewer, Professor of Political Science, Honors College Lora Pitman, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Political Science Asif Nawaz, Assistant Professor of History and International Affairs Zachary Rockwell Ludington, Assistant Professor of Spanish i ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the failings of the United States response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and how it has been shaped by the nation’s intense political polarization and the widespread dissemination of misinformation. In this thesis, I critically examine the government’s initial response to the pandemic, including its lack of preparedness and the ineffectiveness of its eventual policies. I also attempt to explain the influence of political polarization on the states, resulting in congressional gridlock, as well as wildly varying policies regarding lockdowns and mask mandates.

  • Kansans for Health Freedom Program
    T H I S B O O K B E L O N G S T O : I F F O U N D , C O N T A C T I N F O . WELCOME! Welcome to the Freedom Revival in the Heartland event of 2020. We are so excited to have you here! I can assure you that getting this event off in only three weeks is a testament to the power of God working in a million big and little ways. It is also a testament to the talent, passion, and inspiration of some very dedicated and hard-working people. Today, we unite with all who are awake to the rising trend of medical tyranny. We join with those who have been silenced. We grieve with those who have lost so much. Finally, we rejoice that many more are waking up to the corruption of our health agencies and the failure of the pharma-medical paradigm every day. Kansans for Health Freedom is a young organization which came together in June of 2019. Our goal is to promote and uphold our constitutional freedoms for vaccine and medical choice and true informed consent. We want to see the needless injuries and deaths from vaccines eliminated. We want to hear the unheard and be a voice for the silenced. We want to educate the public about the very real risks of vaccines so that no more will be harmed. Our wonderful team has had an amazing year with many great learning experiences. Some of you have been a part of that, and we thank you! If you are not a member of KSHF but you believe the government and its agencies should not be the determiners for your family’s health choices, please join us.
