COVID Variants: ‘Much Ado About Nothing’

Despite the continued fear-mongering of conflict riddled public health ‘officials’ on the dire aspect of COVID variants, many experts state state these variants are nothing to worry about.

COVID Mutations: ‘Much Ado About Nothing’

Updated March 7, 2020

Excerpts:

Mutation is a mundane aspect of existence for many viruses, and the novel coronavirus is no exception.

“A recent scientific article suggested that the novel coronavirus responsible for the Covid-19 epidemic has mutated into a more ‘aggressive’ form. Is this something we need to worry about? No, and here’s why …

The effects of mutation in real life are nuanced and generally innocuous. Using the idea of mutation to incite fear is harmful, especially in the midst of an epidemic like COVID-19 …

The genetic material of the virus is RNA, not DNA like in humans. Unlike with human DNA, when viruses copy their genetic material, it does not proofread its work. Because RNA viruses essentially operate without a spell-check, they often make mistakes.

These ‘mistakes’ are mutations, and viruses mutate rapidly compared to other organisms. While this might sound frightening, mistakes during replication usually produce changes that are neutral or even harmful to the newly generated virus. Neutral mutations, which neither improve nor hinder viruses’ survival, may continue to circulate without any noticeable change in the people they infect.

Mutations that are harmful to the viruses are less likely to survive and are eliminated through natural selection. Fortunately, when mutations occur that help a virus spread or survive better, they are unlikely to make a difference in the course of an outbreak.

Viral traits such as infectiousness and disease severity are controlled by multiple genes, and each of those genes may affect the virus’ ability to spread in multiple ways. For example, a virus that causes severe symptoms may be less likely to be transmitted if infected people are sick enough to stay in bed.

As such, these traits are like blocks in a Rubik’s cube; a change in one characteristic will change another. The chances of a virus navigating these complex series of trade-offs to become more severe during the short timescale of an outbreak are extremely low.”  Source

For a primer on viruses.

Meanwhile, the goalpost for public safety continues to change like the direction of the wind, defying everything known about viruses.

  1. Erroneous models predicted millions of deaths but never came true and had to be downplayed.
  2. Mortality for COVID isn’t much different than the seasonal flu, yet has been hyped like never before.
  3. Hospitals were given money to label cases as COVID, and the CDC stopped counting the flu – making  everything COVID – purposely inflating cases.  Public health ‘officials’ changed the methodology for determining a “virus-caused” death.
  4. PCR testing has given completely unreliable results but was used to create panic using such high cycle thresholds that healthy, uninfected people tested positive.
  5. This was then used to create the myth of asymptomatic infection causing further panic – making everyone an unknown threat.
  6. The solution: wear a mask, or two, or three at all times – even though the virus is smaller than the holes on most masks and doesn’t work. Even with 100% compliance in the military – masks don’t work. Further, mask usage has caused greater risk of infection, impairment, and causes the wearer to have a lack of oxygen.  One expert states masks are doing nothing but “virtue signaling.”  More experts have recently come forth with the latest data stating lockdowns and masks don’t work.
  7. Everything was shut down to prevent hospital overload which never happened in most states. In fact hospital workers in many states have been laid-off.  
  8. Despite these lockdowns, which didn’t do anything except depress us, keep people from obtaining medical help, and single-handedly gave the greatest chance of creating new variants, public health ‘authorities’ tell us this is the ‘new normal,’ and our only hope is a vaccine.  The vaccine will save us.
  9. Yet, despite a $250M Propaganda campaign by the HHS, the ‘vaccine’ hasn’t saved us and doesn’t appear to lessen transmission or keep you from becoming ill. Instead, it has caused a 6,000% increase in reported vaccine deaths in the 1st quarter of 2021 than in the 1st quarter of 2020.
  10. Further, this injection, which doesn’t meet the legal definition of a vaccine, has been described by the manufacturers as “operating systems” called the “soft-ware of life” and prior to COVID, have never been approved to be used on human populations.  It’s been called the perfect “binary weapon.”
  11. Experts are also challenging health ‘officials’ on vaccinating people who were already infected with COVID stating science supporting this doesn’t exist and there’s a potential risk of harm, including death. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), published a blog post stating that people who’ve had COVID still needed the vaccine, while referencing a study that suggested they didn’t. In fact, numerous studies have shown lasting immunity.
  12. Further, the CDC has thwarted efforts to track adverse events and states that anaphylaxis is “rare,” when a recent study showed it occurred 50-120 times more than what the CDC is reporting.
  13. Despite proven, successful treatments for COVID, and the fact there is a 99.991% recovery rate by doing nothing –  the push for this experimental injection continues unabated.  
  14. None of these public ‘officials’ discuss natural immunity.  History is being rewritten – making vaccines the only answer. Funny how these public ‘officials’ own patents and have severe conflicts of interest regarding vaccines.  It is widely known that the CDC is a captured agency and that the CDC foundation serves as a “tax-free slush fund,” receiving billions in tax dollars and millions through private funds yearly. The agency’s 2019 IRS Form 990 says the CDC Foundation received $252 million privately. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has given $2.3 million so far to the CDC in 2021. You can see all Gates to CDC contributions here, and only the United States government gives more to the World Health Organization than the Gates Foundation. The CDC can no longer exist under the guise of a neutral government agency. 
  15. There has been vast censorship of the doctors treating patients who dare to speak out (similarly with Lyme disease). 
  16. Meanwhile, mainstream media, continues to spin the ‘official’ narrative without question.

BTW: the flu virus mutates freely and vaccines haven’t eradicated it – nor will they, ever.

The flu vaccine does not prevent the spread of the flu, doesn’t reduce flu deaths, doesn’t benefit susceptible patients when healthcare workers are vaccinated, and actually INCREASES THE RISK OF CONTRACTING A NON-FLU RESPIRATORY ILLNESS BY 65%. Source

Columbia Establishes Treatment Center, Clinical Trials Network for Lyme Disease

https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2021-03/cuim-cet033021.php

Columbia establishes treatment center, clinical trials network for Lyme disease

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IRVING MEDICAL CENTER

Grant Announcement

NEW YORK, NY (March 30, 2021)–A new center that will provide specialized care for patients with Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases will begin seeing patients this summer at Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The Cohen Center for Health and Recovery from Tick-Borne Diseases, supported by a $16 million gift from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, will be the first in New York City to offer dedicated treatment for people with Lyme and related diseases.

The foundation’s gift will also fund a national clinical trials network that will focus on identifying more effective treatments for patients with Lyme and tick-borne diseases.

“There is a growing need for evidence-based treatments for patients with Lyme and other tick-borne diseases,” said Anil Rustgi, MD, interim executive vice president and Dean of the Faculties of Health Sciences and Medicine at Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Columbia University Irving Medical Center. “This generous gift from the Cohen Foundation will allow us to build on our faculty’s expertise in Lyme and tick-borne disease patient care and research, providing access to comprehensive, coordinated treatment.”

“We know firsthand the devastation that Lyme and tickborne diseases can cause, and we are thrilled to support this innovative center and clinical trials network to help bring treatments and hope to patients and their families,” said Alex Cohen, President, Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation.

Growing Need for Lyme Disease Experts and Research

The estimated incidence of Lyme disease in the United States has been steadily rising, to approximately 476,000 new cases (including individuals who are newly diagnosed or treated for the disease) annually. Despite antibiotic treatment, approximately 10-20% of these new infections will lead to distressing and potentially disabling symptoms, such as severe fatigue, joint and muscle pain, neurologic symptoms, and cognitive problems that may last for months or years.

There is limited expertise in treating the acute and chronic aspects of tick-borne diseases, making it difficult for patients to find high-quality, specialized care. In addition, little research has been done to determine which treatments are most effective for persistent symptoms, which can interfere with daily activities and work.

“Like COVID-19 ‘long-haulers,’ many people with tick-borne diseases were completely well until their infection precipitated a cascade of chronic, multi-system effects,” says Brian Fallon, MD, director of the Cohen Center for Health and Recovery from Tick-Borne Diseases. “A comprehensive evaluation takes time. In addition, the cost of care for patients with chronic symptoms can be prohibitive, requiring multiple visits to physicians who may not be aware of the latest research on tick-borne illnesses. Our center will be the first to address all of these issues by offering access to affordable care with experienced physicians while at the same time integrating research and physician training into our clinical model.“

Fallon plans to hire additional clinicians to begin seeing patients via telemedicine in July. New clinicians will include family, integrative, and behavioral medicine specialists. Patients with acute or chronic symptoms are expected to be able to see the Cohen Center team this fall in the center’s new clinical space in the Neurological Institute.

“Many patients with chronic symptoms related to tickborne illness are misdiagnosed with conditions such as depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, or even psychosomatic disorder,” says Shannon Delaney, MD, co-director of the Cohen Center. “Children infected with a tick-borne illness may have dramatic and disabling neurologic or psychiatric symptoms that seem to occur overnight.”

Cohen Center patients will be invited to enroll in clinical trials, as well as brain imaging studies and neuropsychiatric studies. Studies that identify biologic markers can help determine treatment approaches.

The Cohen Center will provide training for family medicine fellows and medical students on how to evaluate and treat patients with tick-borne diseases.

“Our educational component will allow us to create a pipeline of family medicine and primary care physicians with experience in caring for patients with the unique and varied set of symptoms associated with tick-borne diseases,” says Krishna Desai, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and director of family and integrative medicine at the center.

First Clinical Trials Network for Lyme and Tick-borne Diseases

The Cohen gift expands Lyme and tick-borne diseases research by establishing the first clinical trials network for multi-site clinical trials and pilot studies to assess treatments. Columbia will be the coordinating site for the trials. Experts at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Children’s National Hospital are key members of the national network.

Academics, community physicians, and the general public will be invited annually to submit treatment study ideas to the clinical trials network for consideration.

“There’s a critical need for effective therapies for patients with Lyme and tick-borne diseases,” says Fallon. “The clinical trials network will be a powerful engine to drive high-quality research in tick-borne diseases, including large-scale clinical trials and potentially transformational early stage research.”

U.S. Court Rules in Favor of Property Owners Installing 5G & Wi-Fi Antennas on Homes Without Notifying Neighbors or Permit

https://www.activistpost.com/2021/03/u-s-court-rules-in-favor-of-property-owners-installing-5g-and-wi-fi-antennas-on-homes-without-notifying-neighbors-or-permit

U.S. Court Rules in Favor of Property Owners Installing 5G and Wi-Fi Antennas on Homes without Notifying Neighbors or Permit

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is supposed to protect Americans by regulating the telecom industry.  It has catered to the industry instead for decades (see 1, 2).  During the Trump administration lawsuits were filed against the agency for NOT protecting the public from unsafe levels of cell phone and WiFi radiation as well as 5G on Earth (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and in space.

Despite another lawsuit and emergency injunction filed against the agency’s amended “OTARD Rule”, a court has ruled in favor of it.  Because of this, American property owners may install 5G and WiFi antennas that will broadcast into their neighborhoods without obtaining a permit or notifying anybody.

The FCC & OTARD Rule

The FCC plans to amend an old Over-The-Air-Reception-Device (OTARD) rule to allow wireless companies to place 5G transmitters on private homes in your neighborhood, with no notice, no hearing, no opportunity for you to do anything about it. The FCC is supposed to work for the people, not the wireless companies. Please call Congressman Frank Pallone at (202) 225-4671 and ask him to hold hearings on the OTARD rule and stop the FCC!

**Comment**

Lyme/MSIDS patients often struggle with sensitivities – including EMFs.

Important excerpt:

Cities AND entire countries have taken action to ban, delay, halt, and limit 5G installation AS WELL AS issue moratoriums due to health, safety, environmental and economic risks.  The majority of scientists worldwide oppose deployment. If you are opposed to 5G, sign and share this letter asking President Biden and Vice President Harris to stop deployment ASAP.

This change in the OTARD rule is reminiscent of how our public ‘authorities’ have been using us to raise money for their biased, self-serving and flawed research regarding tick-borne illness.  Now, the FCC is using people – probably oblivious to the health ramifications of EMFs, especially on chronically ill people, to install their transmitters – bypassing reasonable debate.

Sign the letter and spread the word.

WHO Data: Ivermectin Reduces COVID Mortality by 81%. Also WHO: We Still Don’t Recommend it.

https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz-who-data-ivermectin-reduces-covid-mortality-by-81-also-who-we-still-dont-recommend-it

Horowitz: WHO data: Ivermectin reduces COVID mortality by 81%. Also WHO: We still don’t recommend it.

Imagine if we could have saved 81% of those who ultimately died from the virus by treating them early with a cheap, safe drug, along with other cheap therapeutic cocktails. Well, for one, more people would be alive today. But more important to the powers at be, there would have been no excuse to fear the virus and sow panic and tyranny. Also, there would have been no market for expensive therapeutics and vaccines that are much more experimental and unproven. Which is likely why the WHO is refusing to recommend ivermectin for early COVID treatment, even as its own data prove it should be championed as a cure.

On Wednesday, the WHO updated its guide on therapeutics and COVID-19. Under ivermectin, the meta-analysis shows an 81% drop in mortality among those who used ivermectin as opposed to standard care. It also shows a 64% decrease in hospitalization. Nonetheless, the WHO refuses to endorse it because it claims the confidence level is low.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

This is almost becoming comical.  Almost….

Important excerpt:

In total, there have been 49 studies, 26 of them randomized controlled trials, showing that ivermectin works against the virus. The pooled results show an 80% improvement when used early, 89% when used as prophylaxis, and even a 50% improvement at late stages. It is simply shocking that the global elites would continue to treat this long-used drug as experimental while treating novel vaccines that were only studied by the companies creating them as ironclad. Consider that the vaccines have not been approved by the FDA, on label or off label, there is no liability, and there is no data on long-term safety issues.

Lyme/MSIDS patients suffer from the same ignorance, misinformation, and evil. They are denied the very treatment that could help them – long term antimicrobials. For over 40 years a false narrative has been regurgitated, believed, and followed by mainstream medicine. Doctors are afraid to diagnose and treat Lyme/MSIDS, and anyone that defies the narrative is hunted down and persecuted – similarly to what’s happening with COVID.

We need a CDC/NIAID/FDA walkaway movement.
 

Media Caught in Blatant Lie About Hank Aaron’s Death

Recently, an online webinar called “The COVID Vaccine on Trial: If You Only Knew…..” revealed some interesting developments, one of which concerned the recent death of baseball legend Hank Aaron which occurred after receiving the COVID injection.  Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pointed out that Aaron’s death was part of a “wave of deaths among seniors, among elderly people, Americans, following vaccination.”  

He specifically and purposely avoided saying Aaron’s death was caused by the injection.

Aaron was used by the HHS in a press conference to persuade Black Americans to take the jab, but just 17 days later he died after getting it. Not a very convincing message.

Kennedy’s simple and natural observation was attacked and loudly condemned by mainstream media.

This is where it gets interesting.

All of the articles attacking Kennedy cited the Fulton County Coroner’s Office as their source, stating that Hank Aaron’s death was not caused by a vaccine.  Period.

After Kennedy “spent a lot of time waiting on telephones” to speak with the coroner’s office, he discovered that the office never had Hank Aaron’s body.  There was never an autopsy, post mortem, or necropsy done.  Evidently, his personal doctor just assumed he died of natural causes.  

The national press simply lied to the American public once again.  Source

The webinar pointed out many other important details:

  • The FDA has not approved or licensed these “vaccines.”  They are simply authorized as “may be effective.”
  • The FDA can only authorize these “vaccines” when there are no adequately approved alternatives.  This is why effective therapies like HCQ, Ivermectin, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, zinc, and others are shut-down.  
  • This is causing wide-spread censorship of doctors, research articles, and news articles advocating these interventions, as well as the promotion of fake science.
  • CDC officials have confirmed that state institutions cannot mandate these Messenger RNA vaccines, because the US has long upheld the first principle of the Nuremberg Code: that the consent of the individual is absolutely essential in any scientific experiment. These “vaccines” are experimental.
  • The reason it is advantageous to pharmaceutical companies, governments and healthcare providers to have these experimental products be under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is because it makes them risk-free. 
  • Under the PREP Act if you are injured or die you have to apply within a year to a government administrative program, not a court of law.  If your injury appears after a year you have no recourse.  There’s no hearing and if you lose there’s no appeal.  Everything is on paper – nothing in person – no witnesses, no experts, and no published decisions.  
  • Historically, this program has compensated under 8% of all petitions.
  • The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the four biggest vaccine manufacturers, Pfizer, Merck, GSK and Sanofi, have all been funding biotech firms, including those manufacturing the COVID vaccines today, looking for the next big thing in vaccine profits. Don’t think for a minute that the push to vaccinate the world will be over with COVID-19.
  • Dr. Tenpenny states: “Can you think of any other product in any other industry at any other point in time that has caused this much damage in eight weeks that is still on the market? And not only still on the market, but pushing full steam ahead to get a little bit of this in every person’s arm? So take a step back and think about what that actually means, and it’s a much bigger agenda, as I’m sure many of you know.”  She also points out mechanisms of injury (MOI):
    • anaphylaxis
    • anti-spike immunoglobulins: European epidemiologists state it can take up to 42 days after the shot to develop the highest concentrations of the anti-spike antibody
    • accelerated autoimmune reactions after exposure to other coronaviruses – no one knows how long that risk will be – 1 week, 1 month, 5 years?
    • accelerated risk of more severe side effects  as well as more likely to contract coronavirus infection if you’ve previously had a flu shot
    • antibody dependent enhancement or Trojan Horse phenomenon where your body uncontrollably replicates antibodies after re-exposure to coronaviruses that far supersedes anything you could contract naturally without previous vaccination
    • modification of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages due to anti-spike immunoglobulin – animal studies showed their lungs were full of M1 macrophages and NO M2 macrophages at all
    • autoimmune disorders caused by anti-spike immunoglobulins, antibodies cross-reacting with human tissue. A study showed that 28 out of 55 tissue types cross-reacted with the anti-spike immunoglobulin, which is why people get extreme fatigue from this infection or vaccine, as well as all the neurological problems
    • Tenpenny states there are more than these 7 MOI
    • There are also more things coming through the syringe than what is listed on the Moderna patent.  RNA when it goes into your cells creates a protein called flagellin which causes a huge antibody response – the more the response, the more tissue destruction occurs.  It’s an unapproved adjuvant, never used before on animals and humans that will cause more havoc in the body – anywhere from 4-6 weeks or months in the future

I highly recommend you read the entire transcript as it is chuck-full of information including social justice issues that demand discussion.

I post this information for two reasons: 1) The mainstream media has become nothing more than an arm of pharmaceutical companies peddling their wares. This means you need to corroborate everything they say.  Regarding articles on tick-borne illness, I continue to correct blatant inaccuracies.  2) This experimental mRNA injection that isn’t a vaccine needs to be scrutinized and debated widely.  Many have come forth with serious accusations and details. While the injection manufacturers continue to state they are “safe and effective,” multitudes are experiencing life-changing severe reactions including death.
