iOS 13.5 update: Apple makes the iPhone face mask and contract tracing app-ready

Posted by https://www.globalworldtrends.com/author/office/

The new iOS 13.5 update for the iPhone has just launched and it’s ready to end all of your troubles with using Apple’s Face ID when wearing a face mask, and it seeds a way for your local public health agencies to develop contact tracing apps. (See link for article)

___________________

Important excerpt:  

This framework will allow governments and public health agencies to develop apps that alert you if you’ve come into contact with someone who later tests positive for Covid-19 and that person anonymously logs their positive result into a database.

We are told the actual contact tracing apps aren’t here yet but 22 countries across five continents have requested and received access to the API.

They also say that everything is being done to protect user privacy.

“It’s ready to end all of your troubles”…..  Ha, ha, ha... that’s about the funniest thing I’ve heard all week.

Besides the invasion of privacy, testing has been proven to be worthless for COVID-19 and shouldn’t be used for diagnosis let alone for quarantining people:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/05/18/coronavirus-covid-19-antibody-tests-do-you-really-want-one-think-hard-about-it-maybe-not/

Meanwhile, the Center For Damaged Credibility (CDC) is going door to door collecting peoples’ DNA:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/05/26/cdc-goes-door-to-door-for-covid-19-testing/

Cloth Masks – Useless Against COVID-19

Cloth Masks Are Useless Against COVID-19

 Approx. 13 Min.
Lisa Brosseau, ScD, is a nationally recognized expert on infectious diseases. Brousseau taught for many years at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She may be retired from the university, but she’s not retired from teaching. She recently cowrote an opinion piecethat drew a lot of notice: In it Brousseau argues that cloth masks offer no protection from COVID-19. As one might imagine, it drew a lot of attention and caused a fair amount of controversy. She recently sat down with Infection Control Today®to talk about her strong feelings about cloth masks and that data she used to reach her conclusions. (See link for article)

**Comment**
I’m so thankful more and more qualified infectious disease experts are speaking out on the madness of face-mask wearing.
Brousseau recommends social distancing, while others have stated should only be done by the elderly and infirm:
More on face masks:
Excerpt:

Cahill is looking at legal action against the Irish government for making policy that is harming people.  She states that there should be a public debate which includes not only those making policy but scientists who thinks like she does to hold authorities accountable.  We should do the same.

Most importantly she states we should make sure that this NEVER happens again.  I concur.  Get a copy of “Virus Mania,” and you will see that there has been a historical trend which rose to a fever-pitch draconian policy with COVID-19, but it’s been done many times before. Our grandmas were right: A virus just runs its course.

Dr. Beard,

Please take a moment and listen to Dr. John Aucott’s 4min video regarding direct diagnostic tests for Lyme disease……

May 21, 2020 By JOHNS HOPKINS LYME DISEASE RESEARCH CENTER

The Path to Better Diagnostic Tests is Through Innovative Research
https://www.hopkinslyme.org/lyme-disease-awareness/the-path-to-better-diagnostic-tests-is-through-innovative-research/  (Great Video Here)

Quote from Aucott’s video:

“The COVID pandemic underscores the importance of having a direct diagnostic test for an infectious disease.”

____________________________________

It’s been four decades since Lyme was discovered so what was the motivation for the delay Dr. Beard? Direct diagnostic tests for Lyme disease have the capability to overturn the long-established dogma that persistent infection after antibiotic treatment does not exist.

A supporter of my petition forwarded your communication regarding the status of Direct Detection Tests for Lyme Disease and you replied with the following:

Statement from Ben Beard of the CDC: “CDC is not primarily an agency that funds extramural research as does several of our sister federal agencies.”

I would like to point out that the CDC has given Dr. Gary Wormser of New York Medical College an open checkbook using grant# RO1 CK 000152 which continues to be used today.

Here is a screenshot from NIH RePORTER:

https://projectreporter.nih.gov/Reporter_Viewsh.cfm?sl=14E9C8084784C1D47598B8961CAA4A01A2FFCEB861BF

That 1.5 million dollar grant was used to focus on the acute stage of disease after early treatment intentionally avoiding the horribly disabled Lyme patient population as exposed in the “Under our Skin” documentary. [1] The conclusion of that study: Lyme is no big deal and nothing more than the “aches and pains of daily living.” [2]

Wormser continues to use funding source RO1 CK 000152 for his propaganda.

Dr. Beard…… It appears that the CDC has its own department for direct detection of infections:

Office of Advanced Molecular Detection

https://www.cdc.gov/ncezid/who-we-are/ncezid-divisions/oamd.html

Focus: To bring advanced technologies, including next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics, into the US public health system in order to more effectively prevent and respond to important public health threats.

Some key activities:

-Improve pathogen identification and characterization of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens using next-generation sequencing and other advanced molecular technologies.

-Catalyze the adoption of next-generation sequencing at CDC and in state and local health departments.

-Build staff capacity in genomic sequencing, bioinformatics, and molecular epidemiology at CDC and state public health laboratories.

-Establish enhanced, sustainable, and integrated laboratory information systems.

-Develop tools for prediction, modeling, and early recognition of emerging infections.

_____________________

So why isn’t Lyme disease a priority for the Office of Advanced Molecular Detection for developing a more accurate Lyme test Dr. Beard?? It appears that you are providing lip service with no intention of insuring that direct detection methods for Lyme are brought to market. One might think that the CDC is colluding to hide the severity of Lyme because the truth about the devastating effects of chronic Lyme would finally be exposed.

A response to this inquiry is requested. (But will most likely be avoided as usual)

Respectfully Submitted,

Carl Tuttle

**Comment**

Tuttle asks a great question and one that deserves an answer.  Antibody testing for Lyme and the other coinfections is abysmal.  We desperately need direct testing, but there has been a concerted effort by authorities against direct testing:  

Never forget that the very folks at the table making decisions for patients have their hands in pharmaceutical coffers with patents on testing for Lyme: ConflictReport

According to Professor Laane; however, microscopy is considered the Golden Standard in diagnostics for Syphilis, and would be the ideal test for Lyme.

Dr. Aucott states the PCR is a direct test and is being used for COVID-19.  Unfortunately, it’s accuracy has been called into question as well:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/05/07/was-the-covid-19-test-meant-to-detect-a-virus/ The creator of the PCR is quite clear it was never intended and shouldn’t be used to diagnose patients. Another expert states he doubts the PCR test is ever true.  Then there’s the president of Tanzania sending in samples from goats, fruit, and motor oil, giving them human names, and having half return positive from the WHO PCR test:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/05/13/president-of-tanzania-punks-who-sending-samples-of-fruit-goats-sheep-even-motor-oil-for-covid-testing-nearly-half-come-back-positive/  I think we can safely say the PCR is not working for COVID-19.

Wisconsin Tick-Borne Illness Center Readies for 2020 Tick Season

https://wiseye.org/2020/05/26/newsmakers-tick-borne-illness-center-readies-for-2020-tick-season/  Video Here (Approx. 30 Min)

Newsmakers: Tick-Borne Illness Center Readies for 2020 Tick Season

On May 26, 2020, WisconsinEye senior producer Steve Walters sat down with Erin Biertzer, president of the Howard Young Foundation, and Dr. Andreas Kogelnik, director of the Tick-Borne Illness Center of Excellence, to discuss the 2020 tick season in honor of Lyme Disease Awareness Month.

According to Russel Labs, there are predominantly FOUR ticks to be concerned about in Wisconsin:  https://wisconsin-ticks.russell.wisc.edu/wisconsin-ticks/ (Click on the drop-down menu)

The black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis)

The Lone Star Tick (amblyomma americanum)

The Wood Tick/American Dog Tick (dermacentor variables) 

The Brown Dog Tick (rhipicephalus sangineus) rare in Wisconsin and usually found on dogs.  It is able to complete its life cycle indoors in homes or kennels.

Please keep in mind that ticks are constantly being found in places they’ve never been found before – mainly due to migrating birds:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/11/07/ticks-on-the-move-due-to-migrating-birds-and-photoperiod-not-climate-change/

Treat each and every tick bite as seriously as a heart attack.

One that is marching across the United States is the Asian Long-horned tick.  Previously only considered a livestock pest, it has been found to transmit Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in a lab setting, and is known to transmit Lyme disease (they say rarely), while in Asia transmit SFTS (sever fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome), an emerging hemorrhagic fever, and is associated with spotted fever rickettsioses, Anaplasma, and Ehrlichia:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/05/05/asian-longhorned-tick-able-to-transmit-rmsf-in-lab-setting-also-transmitted-within-ticks-through-ova/

Again, the unique quality of these ticks is their ability to reproduce by cloning:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/09/12/three-surprising-things-i-learned-about-asian-longhorned-ticks-the-tick-guy-tom-mather/

As to it being in Wisconsin:  https://wiscontext.org/why-invasive-longhorned-tick-has-potential-reach-wisconsin

Excerpt:

There’s no question in entomologist Phil Pellitteri’s mind that it will be able to reach, and likely thrive, in Wisconsin.

“I’ve seen the distribution maps … and it will be able to survive quite well in Wisconsin,” Pellitteri said in a Dec. 19, 2018 interview on Wisconsin Public Radio’s The Larry Meiller Show. “Now, how long it takes to get here is another interesting question.”

Yes, You Do Need To Worry About Ticks & Lyme Disease In The Pacific NW

Yes, you do need to worry about ticks and Lyme Disease in the Pacific NW

Symptoms from a tick bite can mimic other illnesses. What my family wants you to know before you head out into our beautiful backcountry
Credit: Amy Bredes

PORTLAND, Ore. — May is “Lyme Disease Awareness Month.” And the infected ticks that spread Lyme aren’t just back east. They’re here in the Pacific Northwest, too.

So, as Oregon and Washington reopen more outdoor recreation areas, it’s a good time to get up to speed on how to protect yourself.

This story is personal for me. My daughter was diagnosed with Lyme. She did a lot of hiking in college in upstate New York and also spent time in the Mount Hood National Forest. We’re not sure where she contracted Lyme but it went undiagnosed for a year even though she saw every doctor under the sun. (See link for story)

Newstory:

 Approx. 3 Min.

Dr. Melanie Stein discusses many topics including how Lyme paralysis put her in a wheelchair for two years. She now treats patients in the state of Oregon.

Great interview with Dr. Stein who gives it straight. I’m so thankful for practitioners that take on great risk treating people that mainstream medicine won’t touch with a ten foot pole.  Most of these practitioners have suffered with tick-borne illness themselves, like Dr. Stein.  They truly “get it.”
