Milwaukee County medical examiner says state’s coronavirus death count too high

State includes deaths from other causes that also list COVID-19 among ‘other significant conditions’ on death certificate

MILWAUKEE —

Milwaukee County’s chief medical examiner says the state’s coronavirus death total includes more than 100 people who had COVID-19 but died primarily of other causes.

The difference is significant and possibly confusing.

As of Wednesday, the state reported 532 COVID-19 deaths in Milwaukee County, but the county’s COVID dashboard lists 428 — a difference of 104 deaths. (See link for article)

The confusion and fear-mongering continue – based on fallacies.

The inflation problem goes back to the beginning of the pandemic.

It’s the comorbidity effect — the simultaneous presence of two chronic diseases. When serious health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease meet COVID-19, well, it can be like throwing gasoline on a fire.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean COVID is the primary cause of death.

As Wisconsin Spotlight reported in May, Milwaukee County Medical Examiners office data obtained by CRG Network (Citizens for Responsible Government) found that residents 65 and over made up 75 percent of 193 COVID-19-related deaths in Milwaukee County. All but four of the victims had at least one underlying health condition.

Underlying conditions included cancer, COPD, heart attacks, stroke, congestive heart failure. Many of the victims were obese, many morbidly obese. The No. 1 comorbidity among the deceased was high blood pressure; No. 2 was diabetes.

“Moreover, 78% of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and 94% of deaths (where complete information on underlying conditions or risk factors was available) occurred in those with at least one underlying health condition,” the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology reported in May.

DHS acknowledges that they’re dumping comorbidity deaths into the COVID-19 pot.

PIC Provides Info To Protect Patients At Risk For Vaccine Side Effects

https://physiciansforinformedconsent.org/physicians-for-informed-consent-provides-key-information-in-medical-board-of-california-hearing-aims-to-protect-patients-at-risk-of-vaccine-side-effects/

Physicians for Informed Consent Provides Key Information in Medical Board of California Hearing, Aims to Protect Patients at Risk of Vaccine Side Effects

Medical Exemptions to Vaccination, Recommended Due to Patient History and Genetics, Go on Trial

OAKLAND, CALIF. (PRWEB) OCTOBER 02, 2020

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on delivering data on infectious diseases and vaccines, provided key information on physician best practices in the case between Kenneth Stoller, M.D., and the Medical Board of California (MBC) (Case No. 800-2017-034218). In July 2019, the MBC accused Dr. Stoller of gross negligence in recommending medical exemptions to vaccination for patients based on their genetic risk of suffering side effects from multiple vaccines mandated by the State of California for school attendance—a precaution that’s not recommended by conventional standards of care. Dr. Stoller’s attorney and author of Galileo’s Lawyer, Richard Jaffe, Esq., defended him based on Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code Section 2234.1, which legally protects California physicians who use alternative or complementary standards of care.

The MBC was represented by Deputy Attorney General, Lawrence Mercer, and its expert witness was Dean Blumberg, M.D., a pediatric infectious disease specialist. Kelly Sutton, M.D., a board-certified internist with training in pediatrics and functional medicine, was the expert witness for the defense. The Administrative Law Judge presiding was Juliet E. Cox. Judge Cox, in addition to earning her juris doctorate from UC Berkeley, also holds a bachelor’s degree in Biology, and a Master of Science in Genetics, a fortuitous background as Dr. Stoller’s defense adduced much genetic information on individual and familial susceptibility to vaccine side effects.

In support of the existence of alternative standards of care for integrative physicians who make vaccine recommendations, Jaffe brought forth “Best Practices for California Physicians Providing Complementary Health Care Methods” by Greg Glaser, Esq., General Counsel for PIC and National Director of the Coalition for Informed Consent (CIC). PIC represents hundreds of doctors who make personalized risk/benefit assessments for their patients and alternative vaccine recommendations when indicated. Another key exhibit was the March 2019 document “Best Practices for Physicians Recommending a Medical Exemption to Vaccination” presented by the late Toni Bark, M.D., and Glaser at the PIC Workshop & Luncheon in Costa Mesa, California.

The hearing was conducted via videoconferencing between Sept. 21–24, 2020, with members of the public listening in via teleconferencing and Ann Leitz as court reporter. Judge Cox’s decision on the case is expected by January 2021.

“I expect that Dr. Ken Stoller will be exonerated, and that his medical exemption letters written under SB277 guidelines will be safeguarded,” said Glaser.

About Physicians for Informed Consent
Physicians for Informed Consent is a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics. PIC delivers data on infectious diseases and vaccines, and unites doctors, scientists, healthcare professionals, attorneys, and families who support voluntary vaccination. In addition, its Coalition for Informed Consent consists of more than 200 U.S. and international organizations. To learn more or to become a member, please visit physiciansforinformedconsent.org.

**Comment**

Many of you will recognize Dr. Stoller as he is a well-known Lyme literate doctor. This is an important case that very well could set a precedent regarding alternative vaccine recommendations.

Lyme/MSIDS patients and the doctors who dare treat them understand the importance of individualized care as each patient has wide and varied symptoms, medical histories, genetic make ups, and responses to treatments.

Anyone who advocates a “One Size Fits All” approach to the human body has serious flaws and holes in their logic.

Lyme/MSIDS patients are in a body-wide war of epic proportions with wide-spread systemic inflammation.  The last thing they need is an immune suppressing vaccine on top of it all.

Gilead Announces It’s Selling Remdesivir Direct (Lining the Pockets of Many Government Officials)

https://www.gilead.com/news-and-press/press-room/press-releases/2020/10/gilead-sciences-update-on-supply-and-distribution-of-veklury-remdesivir-in-the-united-states

Press Releases

October 01, 2020

Gilead Sciences Update on Supply and Distribution of Veklury® (remdesivir) in the United States

— Supply of Veklury Is Meeting Real-Time Demand in the U.S. —

— Clinical Benefits of Veklury Consistently Demonstrated Across Three Randomized, Clinical Trials Are Now Available to All Clinically Appropriate Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients in the U.S. —

— Veklury Distribution Has Transitioned from the U.S. Government to Gilead —

FOSTER CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Gilead has worked diligently to ramp up production and rapidly expand the supply of our investigational antiviral drug Veklury® (remdesivir) by making significant investments to increase internal manufacturing capacity, expand our contract manufacturing network and implement process improvements. While working to increase our manufacturing capacity over these past months, the company also donated 1.5 million vials of Veklury and provided clinical drug supply at no cost for evaluation as an investigational agent in clinical trials around the world. As a result of the decision to make early investments to increase Veklury manufacturing efforts, Gilead is now meeting real-time demand for Veklury in the United States and anticipates meeting global demand for Veklury in October, even in the event of potential future surges of COVID-19.

Starting on October 1, Gilead will be responsible for distributing Veklury in the United States upon conclusion of the previous distribution agreement with the U.S. Federal government. To ensure stable management of drug supply in the near term, AmerisourceBergen will continue to serve as the sole U.S. distributor of Veklury through the end of this year and will sell the product directly to hospitals. This distribution model closely reflects the traditional model hospitals use to procure medicines. Hospitals will control the quantity of Veklury that they order, enabling them to have ample, predictable supply of Veklury in advance of any anticipated increase in COVID-19 incidence.

Oh goody.  Now public officials can reclaim their lost profits when Remdesivir bombed for Ebola.

Excerpts:

Fauci has financial ties to new drugs that are being pushed through the pipeline as alleged remedies for the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19), which explains his anomalous opposition to HCQ, which he once promoted.

Every doctor and medical professional who has bravely come forward in support of HCQ during the current pandemic, by the way, despite the deep state’s opposition to it, has faced ridicule and persecution.

Gilead was able to strongarm the federal government back in 2009 into buying up stocks of Tamiflu, enriching the pocketbooks of not just Rumsfeld but also George Schultz, a former U.S. secretary of state. Rumsfeld chaired Gilead while Schultz sat on the company’s board.

“The interesting part is, Gilead was part of the vaccine lobby at whose behest the WHO faked the H1N1 pandemic in 2009, and kept it a secret from people until committees were setup (sic) which exposed the entire racket,” reports Great Game India.

As a background, Gilead appears to be a creation of the military-industrial complex with a dark history of bioterrorism, according to Great Game India.

Despite its benign image as a mere pharmaceutical manufacturer, Gilead has been accused of engaging in illegal bioweapons research programs in the country of Georgia, where 73 people are said to have died at the hands of Gilead researchers who were testing deadly chemicals on them.

And public officials and the media wonder why the public no longer trusts government employees and their directives…..

Regarding trust, this just out today.  See if you notice what’s wrong with it:  https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/88912?xid=nl_covidupdate_2020-10-

Excerpt:

A former FDA commissioner and a vaccine co-inventor told a House panel on Wednesday that they are confident in the FDA’s review process for vaccines…..

Please know our government has never come clean on vaccine injuries, not to mention has severe conflicts of interest by owning patents on them.  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/09/11/examining-rfk-jr-s-claim-that-the-cdc-owns-over-20-vaccine-patents-its-actually-over-50/

And then the very loaded statement:

Pressure from the administration to approve drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and convalescent plasma through an EUA “without clear evidence of safety or efficacy” has created concern that “the same low standards” would apply to a vaccine, he said.

Meanwhile in reality, doctors worldwide are screaming that HCQ works clinically:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/06/16/aaps-sues-fda-for-irrational-interference-of-access-to-life-saving-hydroxychloroquine/

Fauci’s been accused of running a misinformation campaign against it: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/08/11/yale-epidemiologist-dr-fauci-running-misinformation-campaign-against-hydroxychloroquine-aap-says-fda-caused-20000-deaths/?

But even more importantly, these studies debunking HCQ have been found to be a scam:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/06/30/dr-meryl-nass-discovers-hydroxychloroquine-experiments-were-designed-to-kill-covid-patients-how-many-were-murdered/

Still, ‘crickets’ from public ‘authorities.’

Here’s the real clincher from Dr. Paul Offit, co-inventor of the rotavirus vaccine:

“If COVID-19 vaccines are released before they’re ready to be released, you will hear from these people, and … from people like Drs. Francis Collins and Tony Fauci who are trusted by the American public,” he said.

Well, I don’t know what ‘public’ is trusting these people but it sure isn’t me.

Effect of dapsone alone and in combination with intracellular antibiotics against the biofilm form of B. burgdorferi

Excerpt:

Several theories to explain persistent symptoms have been suggested, including immune evasion in privileged sites [14], antigenic variation [15], persistent antigenic stimulation [16], biofilm formation [17, 18] and B. burgdorferi persister cells, a highly resistant bacterial form which may protect the bacteria from antibacterial therapy. B. burgdorferi can exist in spirochetal, round body forms, intracellularly, as well as in newly discovered biofilm forms [4, 19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29]. Previous data suggested that standard and some newly discovered antibiotics for Lyme disease can be very effective in eliminating spirochetal, round body, intracellular and antibiotic tolerant persister cells [4, 20, 25,26,27] but have little effect on biofilm forms [24, 30]. Persisters are multi-drug tolerant cells present in significant numbers in biofilms [27, 29], and the importance of Borrelia biofilms has been highlighted in autopsy tissues from a well-documented Lyme disease patient [31]. Therefore, to successfully treat Lyme disease, there is an urgent need to find an agent or combination of antimicrobial agents which can efficiently eliminate resistant biofilm forms of B. burgdorferi.

**Comment**

Unfortunately, mainstream medicine denies borrelia is pleomorphic & persistent, and calls it ‘quack’ science. This polarization has continued unabated since the 80’s when the Bayh Dole Act was passed authorizing federal agencies to grant exclusive licenses to inventions owned by the federal government.[7]  Since that time, those entrusted with public health have vested financial interests in the form of patents.  At the same time, monies for research came more and more from the federal government – creating an unholy alliance between the government, research institutions, and manufacturing.  This is the corrupted root that has now given way to politicized science that is dominating the research world.

The denial and conflicts have been felt by thousands upon thousands of Lyme/MSIDS patients as well as doctors who defy the narrative.

Leonard Hayflick – The Impact of the Bayh-Dole Act

I’m about 75% done with Polly Murray’s, “The Widening Circle,” which details her family’s experience with tick-borne illness as well as the early history of Lyme.

I must admit the information makes me even more frustrated over the lack of response to this debilitating illness.  It’s been over 40 years and yet the polarizing controversy continues and we have so little to show for something that is debilitating/killing people.

I plan to write a summary of the book when I’m through but it’s a whopper and almost familiar in that her litany of symptoms experienced by her ENTIRE family takes me back to my own bitter journey.  If you haven’t read her book, I highly recommend it.  But, prepare to be frustrated!

Bay Area Lyme Foundation Launches Ticktective™ Podcast

PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif., September 30, 2020 — Bay Area Lyme Foundation, a leading sponsor of Lyme disease research in the US, announces the launch of the Ticktective podcast and video series.  Ticktective is a Bay Area Lyme Foundation program designed to investigate the latest scientific knowledge and advances in Lyme and tick-borne diseases. The podcast offers insightful discussion with researchers, physicians, patients, and thought leaders in the field.

“Because the science surrounding tick-borne disease is so complex and there are so many unanswered questions, Ticktective aims to share firsthand perspectives about the challenges of Lyme in ways that will intrigue more scientists, physicians and patients to join our battle towards making Lyme disease easy to diagnose and simple to cure,” said Linda Giampa, executive director, Bay Area Lyme Foundation.

There are more than 400,000 people diagnosed with Lyme disease each year in the US, and millions of Americans live with persistent Lyme disease (PLD) caused by an ongoing bacterial infection. The current “gold standard” diagnostic for Lyme disease misses up to 60% of cases of early stage Lyme disease, and if not treated promptly, Lyme may progress to a debilitating stage, becoming difficult, or impossible, to cure. Bay Area Lyme Foundation has funded over 100 research projects at 37 institutions across the US in a mission to find solutions for these patients.

“I’ve always had an insatiable curiosity, and my own diagnosis of Lyme disease has driven me to use this curiosity to find answers that will help lead to solutions for all tick-borne diseases,” said Ticktective host Lia Gaertner, who is the director of education and outreach for Bay Area Lyme Foundation and holds degrees in environmental science and ethnobotany.

Initial Ticktective interviews include conversations addressing the challenges of developing a diagnostic for Lyme disease, the scientific techniques being used to overcome these challenges, what motivates researchers taking on this challenge, and the frustration of patients.

  • 2020 Emerging Leader Award Winner Jacob Lemieux, MD, DPhil of Harvard University discusses the similarities and difference of Lyme disease and malaria, the promise of next-generation sequencing for developing a diagnostic, his lab’s role in COVID-19 research, and the intersection of COVID-19 and Lyme disease.
  • 2020 Emerging Leader Award Winner Artem Rogovsky, DVM, PhD of Texas A&M University discusses what he learned from radioactive ticks, why he is aiming to develop a direct diagnostic for Lyme, and how a conversation at a kids’ birthday party ignited the innovative idea for this diagnostic concept.
  • Liz Horn, PhD, MBI is principal investigator for the Lyme Disease Biobank, which aims to enable and accelerate research by providing scientists with the biological samples needed to conduct important experiments. The Biobank has enrolled over 900 participants and currently supports more than 55 research projects.
  • Singer-songwriter Dana Parish, who not only has numerous chart-topping singles, but has also become a strong advocate for people with Lyme disease after a tick bite in 2014 that progressed to a persistent infection despite antibiotic treatment. She discusses how she is “fighting the good fight,” and making progress in her personal battle and for the cause.

“I was driven to become a songwriter as I wanted to make people feel understood, knowing that the best songs are personal yet universal. With that same spirit, it’s been vital to me to use my voice to be honest about what I’ve learned about the travesty of tick-borne diseases. In an area of medicine filled with misinformation, Ticktective is bringing valuable insights and help straight to the Lyme community. I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to share my Lyme experience with listeners of Ticktective,” said Parish, whom Gaertner refers to as a fierce champion for the under-represented Lyme community.

About Lyme Disease
The most common vector-borne infectious disease in the country, Lyme disease is a potentially disabling infection caused by bacteria transmitted through the bite of an infected tick to people and pets. If caught early, most cases of Lyme disease can be effectively treated, but it is commonly misdiagnosed due to lack of awareness and unreliable diagnostic tests. There are more than 400,000 new cases of Lyme disease each year, according to statistics released in 2018 by the CDC. As a result of the difficulty in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease, more than one million Americans may be suffering from the impact of its debilitating long-term symptoms and complications, according to Bay Area Lyme Foundation estimates.

About Bay Area Lyme Foundation
Bay Area Lyme Foundation, a national organization committed to making Lyme disease easy to diagnose and simple to cure, is a leading public not-for-profit sponsor of innovative Lyme disease research in the US.  A 501c3 non-profit organization based in Silicon Valley, Bay Area Lyme Foundation collaborates with world-class scientists and institutions to accelerate medical breakthroughs for Lyme disease.
