Abstract

Early in the Covid pandemic concerns were raised that lockdown and other non-pharmaceutical interventions would cause significant multidimensional harm to society. This paper comprehensively evaluates the global state of knowledge on these adverse social impacts, with an emphasis on their type and magnitude during 2020 and 2021. A harm framework was developed spanning 10 categories: health, economy, income, food security, education, lifestyle, intimate relationships, community, environment and governance. The analysis synthesizes 600 publications with a focus on meta-analyses, systematic reviews, global reports and multi-country studies. This cumulative academic research shows that the collateral damage of the pandemic response was substantial, wide-ranging and will leave behind a legacy of harm for hundreds of millions of people in the years ahead. Many original predictions are broadly supported by the research data including: a rise in non-Covid excess mortality, mental health deterioration, child abuse and domestic violence, widening global inequality, food insecurity, lost educational opportunities, unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, social polarization, soaring debt, democratic backsliding and declining human rights. Young people, individuals and countries with lower socioeconomic status, women and those with pre-existing vulnerabilities were hit hardest. Societal harms should challenge the dominant mental model of the pandemic response: it is likely that many Covid policies caused more harm than benefit, although further research is needed to address knowledge gaps and explore policy trade-offs, especially at a country-level. Planning and response for future global health emergencies must integrate a wider range of expertise to account for and mitigate societal harms associated with government intervention.

Increased occurrence of Treponema spp. and double-species infections in patients with Alzheimer’s disease

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157114Get rights and content

Highlights

  • Detection of five bacterial and five viral pathogens in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.
  • An increased frequency of Alzheimer’s disease patients positive for Treponema spp.
  • A significantly higher prevalence of cases with two and more simultaneous infections.
  • The studied pathogens were widespread equally in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.
  • Paralleled analysis of multiple sample specimens provides complementary information.

Abstract

Although the link between microbial infections and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been demonstrated in multiple studies, the involvement of pathogens in the development of AD remains unclear. Here, we investigated the frequency of the 10 most commonly cited viral (HSV-1, EBV, HHV-6, HHV-7, and CMV) and bacterial (Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, Borrelia burgdorferi, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Treponema spp.) pathogens in serum, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain tissues of AD patients. We have used an in-house multiplex PCR kit for simultaneous detection of five bacterial and five viral pathogens in serum and CSF samples from 50 AD patients and 53 healthy controls (CTRL). We observed a significantly higher frequency rate of AD patients who tested positive for Treponema spp. compared to controls (AD: 62.2 %; CTRL: 30.3 %; p-value = 0.007). Furthermore, we confirmed a significantly higher occurrence of cases with two or more simultaneous infections in AD patients compared to controls (AD: 24 %; CTRL 7.5 %; p-value = 0.029). The studied pathogens were detected with comparable frequency in serum and CSF. In contrast, Borrelia burgdorferi, human herpesvirus 7, and human cytomegalovirus were not detected in any of the studied samples. This study provides further evidence of the association between microbial infections and AD and shows that paralleled analysis of multiple sample specimens provides complementary information and is advisable for future studies.

In an Attempt to Squirm Out of Accountability New York Ends COVID Shot Mandate But More Are Falling Off the “COVID Cliff”

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/new-york-end-covid-vaccine-mandate-healthcare-workers/

BREAKING: In Surprise Move, New York Says It Will End COVID Vaccine Mandate for Healthcare Workers

An attorney for the state also requested the court overturn a previous ruling striking down the mandate — a move plaintiffs’ attorneys opposed because it “leaves open the very real possibility that this constitutional violation could happen again and ruin many more lives.”

new york healthcare mandate feature

Article Excerpts:

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) sponsored the original lawsuit, filed Oct. 20, 2022, by Medical Professionals for Informed Consent — a group of medical practitioners affected by the mandate — along with several additional plaintiffs, including two doctors, a nurse, a radiologic technologist and a medical laboratory specialist.

Defendants include the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), New York Gov. Kathleen C. Hochul and Mary T. Bassett, the state’s health commissioner.

New York’s Supreme Court Appellate Division in Rochester was set to hear arguments today — but the plaintiffs’ attorneys were cut short by the state’s announcement.

According to a joint statement released today by CHD and Gibson:

“In what can only be described as pure gamesmanship, New York State asked the court to withdraw their appeal but overturn the lower court’s decision without looking at the merits on the grounds that it was now moot.

“What that means is New York State wants the victory Sujata Gibson and Children’s Health Defense already obtained in the lower court to be thrown out because today they announced a plan to withdraw the vaccine mandate for healthcare workers.”

Gibson told CHD.TV, “The law does not allow an agency to voluntarily stop an illegal activity and then claim they shouldn’t be held legally accountable.”

Everyone wants amnesty and offers hollow pseudo-apologies as if the tyranny of the past three years is all just a simple misunderstanding, but nobody wants to be held accountable for “vaccine” mandates that cost jobs, lives, and health.

If you doubt or have forgotten the tyranny and bullying against the unvaccinated, simply review this 12 minute piece.
COVID gene therapy shots do not stop you from becoming infected, transmitting to others, needing hospitalization, or dying.

This video sums up the shots effectiveness perfectly:

Falling Off the “COVID Cliff” – The Collapse of Big Pharma Has Begun as 30% of Rural Hospitals in America Facing Closure

Comments by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

Article Excerpts:

The Big Pharma financial bubble that was created in 2020 during the Trump Administration, which pumped $trillions into Big Pharma for COVID, has burst.

It is being referred to in the corporate media as falling off of the “COVID Cliff.”

Those falling the deepest are the ones who greatly benefited from the COVID scam, as reflected in the 2023 first quarter financial reports of drug makers.

There are 646 rural hospitals at risk of closure due to financial issues, comprising around 30 percent of all rural hospitals in the U.S., according to the Center for Healthcare Quality & Payment Reform.

The hospitals face losses on patient services as health plans aren’t paying enough to cover the cost of care delivery. The losses will likely increase as inflation and workforce shortages persist, according to the report, which was released in April. While rural hospitals are receiving some support through grants, local tax revenues or other profits, they still have low financial reserves and remain at risk.

More than half the states in the U.S. report 25 percent or more of their rural hospitals are at risk of closure, and more than 200 hospitals nationwide are at immediate risk of closing. (Source.)

Normally all these financial losses in the U.S. medical system would have crashed the economy by now, but of course the U.S. Stock Market ponzi casino is pumping money into the current financial bubble: Big Tech.

No more “kicking the can down the road.” We just fell off the COVID cliff, and the rest of the economy will follow.

UK Stopping Primary COVID Shots But Considers Installing ‘Pathogen Detectors’ At Sea Ports

http://  Approx. 12 Min

UK Stopping COVID Primary Shots

Dr. John Campbell

May 23, 2023

  • In the topsy-turvy world of COVID where corrupt public health has become little more than carnies hawking their wares, the UK Health Security Agency is still pushing the clot shots on the unvaccinated. “Book now to make sure you get both jabs before the offer ends for many people on 30 June.”  Step right up!  Step right up!
  • The CDC website is just as unbelievable and hawks out that “everyone 6 months and older should get a COVID-19 ‘vaccine.'”
  • And this is happening despite the fact it is now widely known the shots do not stop infection or transmission and are linked with more reports of adverse events and death than any other vaccine in the history of VAERS.
    • Retired financial analyst Peter Halligan shows 36 million COVID injection deaths based on scaling up the numbers of adverse events reported to VAERS and EUDRA by an Under Reporting Factor of 40 and then “globalizing” to reflect the one eighth share that EU+US injections were of global injections.
    • Study by Taiwanese & Stanford researchers on US “vaccinated” and unvaccinated shows an alarming statistical increase in retinal vascular occlusion (blindness).
    • New national data show an alarming rise in fatal blood clots.
    • Data showing sudden cardiac arrests.
    • Study shows children are dying at the highest rate in decades.
    • Insurance data show a 40% increase in death.
    • Two studies show increased rates of myocarditis and risk of infection, a Thailand study showed 1 in 43 teens got myocarditis, and Pfizer withheld the fact their own documents showed increased myocarditis after the shots. Now a new study shows that 80% with myocarditis are not recovered at 6 months.
    • Analysis showing 300,000 excess deaths,  6.6 million people, injured, 1.36 million people disabled, and cost the economy an estimated $147 billion in damage — in 2022 alone.
    • 3,000 Australians are lining up for compensation for damage after COVID shots.
But it’s #ABV (anything but the ‘vaccine’).

‘Pathogen detectors’ could be installed at sea ports under new government proposals

Interview: Technology placed in busy transport hubs could monitor the flow of pathogens across global supply chains, says science minister

 DEPUTY EDITOR OF GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY

The government is considering installing “advanced sensors” into its shipping ports to detect the spread of infectious diseases and new pathogenic threats.

Under plans to create an international surveillance network, led by the UK, the same technology would be placed in ports and airports across a select number of nations to better monitor the flow of pathogens across global supply chains.

This data would be shared between members and allow governments to take immediate action against emerging diseases of concern before they escalate into major outbreaks.

George Freeman, the science minister, told The Telegraph that the proposed strategy was in its infancy and remains under development in Whitehall, with the government yet to approach any international partners for the project.

However, he said the “advanced sensor technology” needed to run the programme already exists, adding that AI would also play a vital role in the monitoring and detection of infectious diseases.  (See link for article)

SUMMARY:

  • Using COVID and globalization as excuses, ‘the powers that be’ are pushing biosecurity in the broadest context.
  • Using all the frightening dystopian buzzwords like “constant data feed,” “trusted partners,” “shared data,” “climate change,””food insecurity,” and “hugely powerful” regarding AI, this system would require a very big computer.
  • While China spends $240 billion and the U.S. spends $300 billion per year on science and research, the UK feels poised to be a “‘global convener’ of international scientific partnerships,” where it can once again “assert itself on the international stage,” after being weakened by foreign aid cuts and Brexit which took the country out of the EU’s flagship scientific program, Horizon – which granted UK scientists funding grants.
  • Evidently the government is now “negotiating hard” to return to the EU’s nearly $83 billion science program.

As if reading from the same script (which they are) the WHO is partnering with key countries in all continents and private entities such as the Wellcome Trust and the Rockefeller Foundation to form a new global organization to monitor, identify and track diseases.

“The International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN) will provide a platform to connect countries and regions, improving systems for collecting and analyzing samples, using these data to drive public health decision-making, and sharing that information more broadly,” the WHO said in a news release.

“The IPSN, with a Secretariat hosted by the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, brings together experts worldwide at the cutting-edge of genomics and data analytics, from governments, philanthropic foundations, multilateral organizations, civil society, academia, and the private sector. All share a common goal: to detect and respond to disease threats before they become epidemics and pandemics, and to optimize routine disease surveillance.”  Source
