ER Doctors Go Over COVID-19 Statistics – Why Are We in Lockdown? Also, a Lesson on Immunity

April 28, 2020

The video has been censored and taken down by Youtube, but I was able to find it on the following MSN website.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/other/dr-erickson-covid-19-briefing/vi-BB133JTK  Video here Approx. 52 Min 23 ABC News

Dr. Erickson & Dr. Massihi: COVID-19 Briefing

  • Because of an inordinate focus on COVID-19, people with other critical conditions are not coming in for help due to fear. Meanwhile, doctors from numerous states only have COVID-19 paperwork to do.
  • Dr. Erickson’s testing showed 6.5% in CA were positive for COVID-19
  • The state of CA found 12% have COVID-19, showing it’s far more prevalent than is being reported.  It also shows the more you test, the more positives you get.
  • 0.03% chance of dying from COVID-19 in the state of CA.
  • 96% of those in CA that get COVID-19 recover.
  • Out of 649,000 people tested 39% in New York state test positive for COVID-19.
  • You have a 0.1% chance of dying from COVID-19 in NY.
  • There is a 92% recovery rate of COVID-19 in NY.
  • Never before has the healthy population been quarantined.
  • When you look at mortality, COVID-19 deaths resemble deaths due to the flu.
  • 0.05 chance of dying from COVID-19 in Spain & a 90% chance of recovery without being on a ventilator and without being in a hospital.
  • He compares Sweden (no lockdown) and California & Norway (locked down). He found virtually no difference in death rates.
  • He asks the very pertinent question of whether this data necessitates shutting down the economy.
  • He also speaks to social issues & secondary effects of the effects of COVID-19: Child molestation, spousal abuse, suicide, alcoholism, & depression are all increasing.
  • He then discusses the immune system and the importance of exposing the human body to germs so we can develop antibodies. 
  • He states “sheltering in place” is ruining our immune systems.
  • He blames the media for over-reacting and educating people to take measures that are unhealthy for developing the immune system.
  • He also points out the lack of logic in social distancing measures due to how COVID-19 exists on plastics for 3 days, yet people are allowed to go to Lowe’s, Costco, etc. but people aren’t allowed to go to work. For more on this: https://rightandfree.com/news/2020/04/07/the-grand-farce-of-american-social-distancing?
  • He also asks the very important question as to why are doctors being pressured to add COVID-19 to their diagnostic list for deaths.  For more on this: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/11/hospitals-paid-extra-to-list-patients-as-covid19-3x-as-much-if-the-patient-is-on-a-ventilator/
  • Dr. Ericson does not wear a mask.
  • He talks about how there are many bacteria and viruses that help us fight off more virulent pathogens. We all need normal flora we obtain by being exposed – the opposite of “sheltering in place.”

He mentions a Wisconsin ER doctor who completely agrees with him. Hospitals are empty, people are not getting elective medical care out of fear, and the secondary effects of focusing only on COVID-19 are accumulating, and they are serious.

For a news article on the same topic:  https://www.bakersfield.com/news/two-bakersfield-doctors-cite-their-testing-data-to-urge-reopening/article_eb1959e0-84fa-11ea-9a07-2f2bea880bf9.html

We need to put measures in place so something like this NEVER happens again.

‘Game of Bones’ Humor & Take Care of Your Fur-Babies, Ticks Are Out

Humor for the day.

You will recognize the well known voice of BBC sports commentator Andrew Cotter. Bereft of any sports to commentate, he has turned his attention to his two labradors Olive and Mabel. Make sure your sound is on.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.  I’m still laughing.

‘Game of Bones’

http://

 Approx. 1 Min.

Bucky (Go Wisconsin Badgers!), RIP, wants to remind all of you to protect your fur-babies against fleas and ticks. Animals get Lyme disease too, in fact, Bucky was the first to succumb in our family. After testing positive, he was treated for over a month even though he was asymptomatic. Through the years he developed joint issues and finally died of what appeared to be a heart issue. I can’t help but wonder if Lyme was at the bottom of it all.

A Runner’s Guide to Tick Prevention and Removal

As the weather warms up, more outdoor runs means a greater exposure to ticks. Here’s how to prepare.
By and JORDAN SMITH

As the weather warms up, more of us head outdoors and wander off paved roads onto trails or into wooded areas to run. That, unfortunately, means a greater risk of exposure to ticks. While no one wants to deal with ticks, there are a few preventative steps we can take to help avoid tick bites and prevent tick-borne illnesses.

If you do happen to find a tick, there are a few important things you need to know. We talked to tick and infectious disease experts to find out everything from prerun tick prevention, to tick removal, to the signs, symptoms, and treatments of Lyme disease.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Shame on Dr. Mather for stating  an adult blacklegged tick has to be attached for two days or more to give people a high risk of contracting Lyme disease.  Also, shame on him for perpetuating the “one dose of doxy” myth as a proactive measure.  Mather is a leading expert on ticks but strikes out twice here.

For more on these issues: 

 

Aucott’s statement that Lyme is a “benign” organism is also out of touch.  From everything I’ve learned over the years, I can state that borrelia is one of the most complex organisms known to man. Couple that with the issue of coinfection involvement, and you have an extremely complex disease process.  If it’s so benign, why have we struggled to no avail for over 40 years?  Aucott seems to have completely bought the argument that it’s just our immune system that’s the problem.

Interestingly, after Aucott calls Borrelia “benign” he then goes onto talk about what the CDC has coined “Post treatment Lyme disease syndrome” or PTLDS and that there’s no treatment, no test, and calls it a world class dilemma which is a real biological phenomenon. I thought it was benign?  Again, we are comparing apples to oranges as some, apparently Aucott, believe it’s just our immune systems to blame.

The article also states that 30% don’t get the rash.  That number is not accurate. Depending upon who’s counting, it’s highly variable with anywhere from 25-80% getting it. So many don’t get it that using it for diagnosis is fool-hearty.  If you get it, great – you have Lyme, but if you don’t get it – it means nothing.

The continued myth that only 20% go onto to develop persistent symptoms is also completely inaccurate.  According to this, upto 60% can struggle with continuing symptoms:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/02/25/medical-stalemate-what-causes-continuing-symptoms-after-lyme-treatment/

Dr. Donta comes the the rescue by speaking out for patients. He states:

“The National Institutes of Health has not agreed to have further treatment trials.…so it is left to clinicians like myself who in their clinical experience have sorted out what works and what doesn’t work.”

So there you have it.  What little research exists is owned by The Cabal with clear conflicts of interest who control the study parameters for a pre-determined outcome.  Clinicians are forced to muddle through and figure it out the best they can.  What a predicament – that’s been going on for over 40 years and continues to this day. In light of current events, please remember this debacle and how much of science has been bought out – yielding little more than propaganda.

Doctors Misusing Lyme Disease Surveillance Case Definition

https://danielcameronmd.com/misusing-lyme-disease-surveillance-case-definition/

PERSPECTIVE: DOCTORS MISUSING LYME DISEASE SURVEILLANCE CASE DEFINITION

A recent article “Evaluating the Potential Misuse of the Lyme Disease Surveillance Case Definition,” by Perea and colleagues [1] highlights a concern that I have raised in previous blog posts. That is, are doctors incorrectly relying on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveillance definition when evaluating and diagnosing patients?

By

“Many physicians will mistakenly defer to the CDC case definition of Lyme disease in making a diagnosis. These clinicians require that patients meet this strict and narrow criteria in order to be diagnosed with the disease.” [2]

“However, this definition was designed as a surveillance monitoring tool to track the number of Lyme disease cases throughout the country. It was not meant to be used in making a clinical diagnosis.”

Recently, Perea and colleagues surveyed 1,503 family practice physicians, internists, pediatricians, and nurse practitioners on their use of the Lyme disease case definition. Participants were asked the following questions:

“Which one of the following best describes how you diagnose and treat Lyme disease?”

  • Over 60% of those clinicians surveyed reported treating Lyme disease patients.
  • Out of the 927 clinicians treating Lyme disease patients, 20% reported relying on the CDC’s surveillance case definition to guide their decisions.
  • However, out of the 20% of clinicians who said they rely on the case definition, “knowledge of the case definition was limited.”

“Does the case definition include information on diagnosis and management?”

The clinicians who did rely on the CDC’s case definition were asked if the case definition included information on diagnosis and management.

  • “Only 31 (16.4%) answered correctly that it did not.” Hence, the majority believed the CDC’s definition included diagnostic and treatment guidance.

The authors’ findings support the conclusion that there are still doctors who misuse the Lyme disease surveillance case definition. However, they point out that,

“Interpretation of this finding is complicated by evidence that most respondents who reported using the case definition were unfamiliar with its content.”

No, 1st COVID-19 Vaccine Subject Did NOT Die – But Large Scale Production is in Place Even Without Safety or Effectiveness Data

April 27, 2020

https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-elisa-granato-vaccine/false-claim-the-first-volunteer-in-a-uk-coronavirus-vaccine-trial-has-died-

A false news article headlined “First Volunteer in UK Corona Virus Trial, Elisa Granato, Dies” was shared by social media users on Sunday, April 26, 2020 (here) (here).  (See link for article)

The claim made in this article is untrue.

___________________

**Comment**

Thankfully the claim isn’t true, but the following statement is alarming and should concern us:

The Oxford scientists said last week that large-scale production capacity was being put in place to make millions of doses of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 shot, even before trials show whether it is effective (here).

A vaccine is always considered the magic bullet. I keep posting that Dr. Hotez, a vaccine researcher, has given sound concerns about respiratory vaccines:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/03/29/dr-fauci-pushes-for-covid-19-vaccine-despite-research-showing-vaccinated-may-get-sicker-and-even-die-lab-animals-got-sicker-too/.  Essentially, test subjects had a “paradoxical immune enhancement” issue where many worsened and some even died.

James Lyons Weiler, PhD also gives the following chilling prediction:

When Phase I trials become Phase II trials people will start getting infected w/SARS-CoV-2 following vaccination and start dying at even higher rates due to disease enhancement caused by Pathogenic Priming from SARS-CoV-2 vaccination – something the vaccine developers SHOULD have tested for in animal studies, but skipped.

There are so many other health issues that should be considered as we’ve learned (and continue to learn) factors that contribute to poor COVID-19 outcomes:

Sadly, politics are steering science. While some people are struggling with serious illness, authorities squabble and play games.
