120 Experts from Around the World on Covid-19

The original Website is in German - I used Google Translate to translate it as shown below.  The original is at the following link:  https://www.rubikon.news/artikel/120-expertenstimmen-zu-corona

It's a nice vindication when everything I've been saying over the past several weeks about Covid-19 has been mirrored by the comments below.  What have I been saying?  Briefly, the deaths from Covid-19 have been inflated because of the CDC guidelines, the lockdown will probably cause more harm than the virus, the total cases were a lot higher than reported, the media's fear-mongering was just that, etc.  Now you don't have to believe me...read what the experts say.  I have no doubt there will still be those who disagree, some due to fear, others because they have an agenda they want to force on you (like some dangerous vaccine or drug).  Or perhaps they are out for the profits, after all, 7 Billion doses of a vaccine or drug would be worth a fortune - just look at the stock prices of the companies working on them.

If you want to be afraid of something, be very afraid of a medical dictatorship, where you are tracked everywhere you go (if you are allowed out at all), vaccines that might kill or injure you are mandated, you can't hold your date's hand or get within 6 feet of him/her, and on and on.  Basically, it would be no different than living in North Korea or China - if that doesn't scare you, then I think all hope is lost.  It scares me a lot more than the virus which I have no doubt my immune system can handle with little problem.  Now for the expert comments on Covid-19.

120 expert opinions on Corona
High-ranking scientists, doctors, lawyers and other experts worldwide criticize the handling of the coronavirus.
by Jens Bernert

Here you will find a selection of over 120 expert opinions on corona, including a number of statements by high-ranking doctors and virologists.  This list does not claim to be complete and is also available as a printable PDF file (1).

"He and his team are examining the corona victims in Hamburg: Now the Hamburg medical examiner Klaus Püschel has appealed to Chancellor Angela Merkel to slowly open up Germany again. 'Now is the right time'  Püschel says to the 'Hamburger Abendblatt'. He added: 'The time of virologists is over. We should now ask others what is the right thing to do in the corona crisis, such as intensive care medicine. 'According to his findings, Covid-19 is' a comparatively harmless viral disease'. The Germans would have to learn to live with it, without quarantine. The fatalities he examined all had such serious previous illnesses that, even if it sounds hard, they would all have died in the course of this year, 'said Püschel ”(2).

Professor Dr. Klaus Püschel is a forensic doctor and head of forensic medicine in Hamburg

“'We come to a much lower value of 1.6 per thousand. So if we have 1,000 Danes who have had this infection, then there are one or two who have died with it. '(…) Together with colleagues, he performed blood tests on almost 1,500 blood donors (...) The blood was used to test for coronavirus - test antibodies  and preliminary results shed new light on the number of infected people ”(3).

Professor Dr. Henrik Ullum, Rigshospitalet Copenhagen, Denmark, Section for Transfusion Medicine, Center of Diagnostic Investigation

"What we need is to control the panic," he said. Overall, we will be fine.  (...) But he also accuses the media of causing unnecessary panic by focusing on the relentless increase in the cumulative number of cases and highlighting celebrities who become infected with the virus. In contrast, the flu has contracted 36 million Americans since September and killed an estimated 22,000 the CDC said, but most of these deaths are not reported ”(4).

Professor Dr. Michael Levitt, Professor of Biochemistry, Stanford University, USA. Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2013

"Personally, I would say the best advice is to spend less time watching TV news,
which are sensational and not very good. I personally consider this Covid outbreak to be a bad winter flu epidemic. In this case, we had 8000 deaths in the risk groups last year, i.e. over 65% people with heart disease etc. I don't think the current Covid will exceed that number.  We suffer from a media epidemic! ”(5).

Professor Dr. John Oxford from Queen Mary University of London, UK, the world's leading virologist and influenza specialist

“I feel what is going on right now is what we experience more or less every winter. (...) The contagion is high.  But in my view, the disease is not as bad as influenza. (…) I believe that you only look at one thing selectively here and fill it with a certain panic. (...) I believe that we have had situations like this several times and that the measures are now being taken too far.  (…) We need air and sun, air dilutes the viruses and sun with UV light kills them. But no curfew! You don't get infected on the street! ”(6).

Professor Dr. Karin Mölling, internationally renowned virologist. Former director of the Institute for Medical Virology in Zurich, Switzerland. Cross of Merit 1.  Class of the FRG

"Covid-19. Sharp criticism of ARD and ZDF for reporting on the corona virus. (...) As a result, television stages threats and executive power at the same time - and practices 'system journalism'. (...) The editors-in-chief have abdicated, 'concludes Jarren. The reporting lacked all distinctions, to meet and ask: Who has which expertise? Who appears in which role? ’Mostly individual statements are sent, there is no real debate between experts, writes the media scientist” (7).

Professor Dr. Otfried Jarren, Institute for Communication Science and Media Research at the University of Zurich, President of the Swiss Media Commission in Switzerland

“First of all, the tripling of the tests resulted in a little more than tripling the number of people who tested positive.  This tripling was demonstrated to the citizens as a tripling of the infected. (...) Far-reaching decisions require secure foundations. This is exactly what has been neglected so far. The repeated equation of the number of people who tested positive with the number of people infected obscured the Dead too. (...) The government's standard of when measures should be weakened is based on an apparent number of infected people, which has nothing to do with reality ”(8).

Professor Dr. Gerd Bosbach, professor of statistics, mathematics and empirical economic and social research and co-Author of the well-known book "Lies with Numbers"

"First analyzes of Austrian COVID-19 deaths by age and gender:
We analyze the age and gender distribution of the reported COVID-19 deceased in Austria. In line with international studies, the Austrian data also suggest that the risk of death increases sharply with age. The observed age dependency is consistent with that of the general annual risk of death in Austria ”(9).

Institute for Medical Statistics (IMS) of the Medical University of Vienna, Austria

"'Who can calculate and has an understanding of numbers, is not defenselessly exposed to the dizziness of statistics. This proves to be particularly useful in the corona crisis. 'Meyerhöfer also sees a crisis in mathematical education'. 'We see rapidly increasing numbers of infected people, and this curve frightens us.' (...) 'They are numbers, legitimize the blocking of contacts and business closings '(…) Meyerhöfer refers to the statistical handling of the deceased:' In statistical practice, a person who dies with Corona is counted as a person who died from Corona. It does not tell whether he died of Corona ’” (10).

Professor Dr. Wolfram Meyerhöfer, Professor of Mathematics Didactics

“The number of reported infections is not very meaningful, since no population-based approach was chosen, the measurement points to a past time and a high rate of untested (especially asymptomatic) infected people can be assumed. (...) The general preventive measures (e.g. social distancing) are theoretically poorly secured, their effectiveness is limited and also paradoxical (the more effective, the greater the risk of a 'second wave') and they are not efficient in terms of collateral damage ”(11).

"Tom Jefferson, an epidemiologist and honorary research fellow at the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University, said the results were 'very, very important'. He told the BMJ: 'The sample is small, and more data will be available. It is also not clear how exactly these cases were identified. But let's just say that they can be generalized. And even if they are 10% down, this indicates that the virus is everywhere. If - and I emphasize if the results are representative, then we have to ask: why the hell do we lock ourselves up? ’” (12).

Dr. Thomas Jefferson, epidemiologist and research fellow at the University of Oxford, UK

"In both China and South Korea, social distancing only began long after the number of infections had already decreased, and it has therefore had very little impact on the epidemic. This means that herd immunity has already been achieved there, or you are about to reach herd immunity. It was imminent. But by ordering social distancing, they prevented the endpoint from actually coming which is why we still see new cases in South Korea a few weeks after the peak ”(13).

Professor Dr. Knut Wittkowski from New York, USA

"After a long period of reflection, I turn to the remaining reasoned. And despite possible hostility, shit storms or stigmatization, I don't want to lose my right, To critically question comments by journalists, so-called experts, and decisions by political decision-makers. (...) Percentage of serious cases and death rates overestimated by a factor of 10. (…) Anyone who wrongly assesses the current procedure as appropriate would have to do so on the occasion of the annual Data with us probably have to require anew every year in the influenza season with the same consequence ”(14).

Professor Dr. Dr. Martin Haditsch, specialist in microbiology, virology and infection epidemiology, Austria

"'The quality of care is going down', says the chairman of the German Depression Aid Foundation, Professor Ulrich Hegerl. 'That could cost lives. The number of suicides could increase. ' Depression is the cause of most suicides every year. (...) The German Depression Aid recommends those affected
Stay active in times of domestic quarantine and maintain a daily rhythm. Sleep times should not be extended because too much sleep can increase depression severity "(15).

Professor Dr. Ulrich Hegerl, University Hospital Frankfurt, Chairman of the German Depression Aid Foundation

“In the past, pneumonia at the end of life was called the friend of the elderly. And now you go there, diagnose the corona infection and turn it into an intensive care case and of course you still can't save the patient. They are just too seriously ill.”(16).

Dr. Matthias Thöns, specialist in anesthesiology emergency, pain and palliative care.

"In my first video on COVID-19, I suggested (...) that the death rate should be around 0.7%. The opposite was proven to me today. The number of deaths is actually one tenth of them. Here is the unvarnished truth: COVID-19 is not much worse than bad flu ”(17).

Professor Sam Vaknin, Israel

"The fear of Covid-19 is based on its high estimated death rate - according to the World Health Organization and other organizations, 2 to 4% of people with confirmed Covid-19 have died. (...) We believe that this estimate is profoundly incorrect.  (…) If the number of actual infections is much larger than the number of cases - by orders of magnitude larger - then the actual mortality rate is also much lower. This is not only plausible but, based on what we know so far, is also likely ”(18).

Professor Dr. Eran Bendavid and Professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya are medical professors at Stanford University, USA

“In infectious diseases, a distinction is made between infection and illness. So only patients with symptoms - like fever or cough in this case - should be included in the statistics as new cases. In other words: a new infection, determined by a laboratory test does not necessarily mean that we are dealing with a newly ill patient who will need a hospital bed. (...) Draconian measures that restrict people's fundamental rights in such a comprehensive way can only be imposed if there is reliable evidence that a new virus is extremely dangerous. (...) Has there ever been such a scientifically founded indication for COVID-19? In my view, the simple answer is: no ”(19).

Professor Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, specialist in microbiology and infection epidemiology, former head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene at the University of Mainz

“In Heinsberg, for example, a 78-year-old man with previous medical conditions died of heart failure, and that without Sars-2 involving the lungs. Since he was infected, he naturally appears in the Covid 19 statistics. The question is, whether he would not have died anyway, even without Sars-2. Around 2,500 people die every day in Germany, and there have been twelve deaths in the past three weeks, and there has been a connection to Sars-2. Of course people will still die, but I lean out of the window and say: It could well be that in 2020 we will not have more deaths than in any other year ”(20).

Professor Dr. Hendrick Streeck, Professor of Virology and Director of the Institute for Virology and HIV Research at the Medical Faculty of the University of Bonn

"We need to keep these serious measures of society as a whole [note: interview question about contact closures and exit restrictions] as short and as low as possible, because they could potentially cause more illnesses and deaths than the coronavirus itself. (...) We know that, for example, unemployment creates illness and even increased mortality. It can also drive people into suicide. Restricting freedom of movement is likely to have a further negative impact on the health of the population ”(21).

Professor Dr. Gérard Krause, Head of Epidemiology at Helmholtz Center for Infection Research

"That is not the impression I get from talking to my colleagues in Germany. We agree, for example, that there is no point in closing the borders at this point. We also agree that it is necessary to minimize social contacts. But we also agree that it is very difficult to predict what will happen when you close schools. A lot of things happen when you do that: children are affected, society, especially parents. (…) That means, that the effect of this measure on public health will be much worse than the spread of the virus in schools ”(22).

Dr. Anders Tegnell, head of the Swedish health authority

"Beate Bahner, specialist lawyer for medical law from Heidelberg, announces a lawsuit against the corona regulation Baden-Württemberg to: The measures taken by the federal and state governments are blatantly unconstitutional and violate a multitude of fundamental rights of citizens in Germany to an extent never seen before. (...) Weekly restrictions on going out and bans on contact based on the darkest model scenarios (without considering factual-critical expert opinions) and the complete closure of companies and businesses without any evidence of infection risk from these businesses and companies are grossly unconstitutional ”(23).

Beate Bahner, medical law specialist, author of five medical law books.

“Total algorithmic population control. If you cannot show a green button on your surveillance smartphone in Wuhan, which signals that you are probably not infected, you can only move on foot and may not enter restaurants and the like. In South Korea, recordings from surveillance cameras, Credit card data and GPS data are evaluated to identify and track potential virus carriers. Covid-19 is like a heavenly gift for the plans of the World Economic Forum. (…) And thanks to Covid-19, a lot of people now find these totalitarian opportunities even desirable ”(24).

Dr. Norbert Häring, Journalist and economist

“Finally, the use of non-invasive ventilation in patients with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit is controversial. Considering the above factors, clinicians may not resort to non-invasive ventilation in critically ill patients with ARDS due to COVID-19, until further data from the COVID-19 epidemic are available "(25).

Professor Dr. Silvio A. Ñamendys-Silva, intensive care doctor, Mexico

“The Robert Koch Institute is changing the way it is counted, which makes the data increasingly messy. It is becoming increasingly difficult to make an objective summary.  More and more frightening pictures and reports are rushing in on us without anything recognizable changing in the numbers ”(26).

Dr. Bodo Schiffmann, medical doctor

“We know corona viruses from the past (…) But the data suggest that this disease is less dangerous than influenza.  (With) influenza, we can all still remember well how it came to a serious outbreak situation in 2017. Ultimately, with 27,000 dead in Germany and those 27,000 dead that seem to have displaced some. (...) It cannot be that we only care about Corona and that somewhere there is a risk that any other outbreaks of germs, for example, result ”(27).

Professor Dr. Jochen A. Werner, Medical Director and CEO of the University Medical Center Essen

"Given the well-known fact that 7-15% of acute respiratory diseases (ARE) are always caused by coronaviruses in every 'flu wave', the case numbers that are now continuously added are still completely within the normal range. About one in every thousand people die from the winter infection waves.  By selectively using detection methods - for example only in clinics and medical outpatient clinics - this rate can of course easily increase to a frightening level, because those who need help are usually worse off than those who recover at home ”(28)

Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, internist, pulmonologist, Specialist in hygiene and environmental medicine. Member of the German Bundestag from 1994 to 2009

"Is our fight against the coronavirus worse than the disease? (...) Possible application of a 'herd immunity' approach (...) The data from South Korea (...) show that 99 percent of active cases in the general population are 'mild' and do not need specific medical treatment. (…) The deaths are mainly found in the elderly, in people with serious chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and in people in both groups.  This does not apply to infectious flagella like the flu. The flu also hits older and chronically ill people hard, but it also kills children ”(29).

Dr. David Katz, Yale University, USA, founding director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center

"It’s usually that people willingly give up their freedom, if you want to protect yourself against an external threat. And the threat is usually a real threat, but it is usually exaggerated. I'm afraid that's what we're seeing now. (...) And anyone who has studied history will recognize the classic symptoms of collective hysteria here.  Hysteria is contagious (…) whether the cure is perhaps worse than the illness ”(30).

Jonathan Sumption, former judge of the British Supreme Court

"It can be deduced from this That the mortality rate of COVID 19 is well below 1%: This finding was also included in a study by colleague Anthony Fauci from the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is based on a report based on 1099 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 - Concentrated patients from 552 Chinese hospitals.  This suggests that the overall clinical outcomes of COVD-19 might ultimately be similar to severe seasonal flu, which has a mortality rate of around 0.1%, or pandemic flu like that of 1957 or 1968, and not that of SARS or MERS, which are characterized by a lethality of 10% or 36% and which unbelievable to say that there have been no scaremongering in our country ”(31).

Professor Dr. Giulio Tarro, virologist, Italy

"But Prof. Ricciardi added that Italy's death rate can also be high due to the way doctors report the deaths. (…) 'A re-evaluation by the National Health Institute showed that only 12 percent of the death certificates showed a direct connection to the coronavirus, while 88 percent of the patients who died had at least one previous illness - many had two or three, ”he said” (32).

Professor Dr. Walter Ricciardi is scientific advisor to the Italian Minister of Health

“This evidence fiasco creates tremendous uncertainty about the risk of dying from Covid-19. Reported deaths, such as the official 3.4% rate from the World Health Organization, are appalling - and meaningless. Patients who have been tested on SARS-CoV-2 are disproportionately large with severe symptoms and poor results.  Since most health systems have limited testing capacity, the selection bias could even increase in the near future. (…) A population-wide death rate of 0.05% is lower than that of seasonal flu. If this is the actual rate,
locking the world off with potentially enormous social and financial consequences can be completely irrational ”(33).

Professor Dr. John Ioannidis, Stanford University, USA

"Corona: A mass panic epidemic. (...) The WHO estimates that one flu season kills around 500,000 people, i.e. about 50 times more than those who have died during the more than three-month coronavirus epidemic. (...) No such draconian measures were taken during the 2009 influenza pandemic, and of course they cannot be used every winter that lasts all year round, as it is always winter somewhere.  We cannot switch off the whole world permanently ”(34).

Professor Dr. Peter C. Gøtzsche, medical researcher and professor at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark

"The media stir up fear of the corona virus (...) Every winter we have a virus epidemic with thousands of deaths and millions of people infected in Germany.
And corona viruses always have their part in it. (…) Anyone who is only exposed to quarantine measures and suffers financial damage because of a positive coronavirus PCR test may be entitled to compensation under Paragraph 56 of the Infection Protection Act.  But you should also defend yourself against senseless deprivation of liberty ”(35).

Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, internist, pulmonologist, specialist in hygiene and environmental medicine. Member of the German Bundestag from 1994 to 2009

"SARS-CoV-2, the novel corona virus from China, spreads worldwide and despite its currently low incidence outside of China and the Far East triggers an enormous response. Four common corona viruses are currently in circulation and cause millions of cases worldwide. This article compares the incidence
and mortality rates of these four common coronaviruses with those of SARS-COV-2 (…) He concludes that SARS-CoV-2 is likely to be overestimated because 2.6 million people die from respiratory infections each year compared to less than 4,000 deaths from SARS-CoV-2 at the time of writing of this article ”(36).

"At the end of the year, however, all states with prosperity will be irreparably indebted,  all people with material wealth have been expropriated, the medium-sized economy has been decimated, the large banks have been restructured thanks to their loans to sovereigns, the so-called health sector has become even more bloated and big pharma has become even richer.  (...) Everyone will live in fear of contagion and will be unemployed in a socially isolated manner or vegetate in the 'home office' with online orders. The survivors will need everything above the bare minimum to raise the protection money for banks and big pharma ”(37).

Dr. Gerd Reuther, medical doctor

"The numbers of young coronavirus sufferers are misleading (...) Vernazza therefore calls for all of the rash decisions made in recent weeks to be reflected upon. If almost 90 percent of the infections go unnoticed, it makes no sense to test all people. (…) The new knowledge shows that many of the measures may even be counterproductive. Above all, he thinks it is wrong to close schools, as a curfew in the epidemiological sense would not be the right thing ”(38).

Professor Dr. Pietro Vernazza, Infectiologist, Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen (Switzerland)

"While everyone is talking about the corona virus, one hears little of the flu wave at the moment. According to experts, the risk of infection and mortality in influenza viruses are approximately the same as in coronavirus. 'Corona is by no means more dangerous than influenza,' says chief physician Clemens Wendtner from the Schwabinger Clinic for Infectious Diseases,
where seven of the thirteen corona infected people are being treated in Germany. 'We assume that the mortality rate is well below one percent, and even more in the alcohol range,' explains Wendtner. This is a similar size to that of influenza ”(39).

Professor Dr. Clemens Wendtner, chief physician at the Schwabinger Clinic for Infectious Diseases

"The virologists, who are now significantly influencing political events, are taking advantage of a redefinition of 'pandemic' by the World Health Organization (WHO) for their form of scaremongering. While a pandemic was previously only declared when a virus causes significant disease rates worldwide, Since 2017, the sole spread of viruses has been a reason for initiating a phased monitoring and virus control plan. However, since all forms of viruses are spreading rapidly across the world due to globalization, there is basically always a pandemic. And every year there are new viruses that are spreading rapidly in the global population. It thus becomes a matter of arbitrariness or of special interests to declare a pandemic with a certain virus ”(40).

Professor Dr. Franz Ruppert, psychotraumatologist

"The EU Commission met with Facebook & Co., to coordinate steps against the spread of conspiracy theories surrounding the Covid 19 outbreak. (...) All participants had assured that they wanted to make 'reliable news sources' more prominent, 'remove prohibited or harmful content' (...) (...) The tools developed in the code of conduct, According to Jourová, according to Jourová, the fact that unmasked 'fake accounts' and social bots should be switched off quickly and beneficiaries of false reports should have their advertising revenue withdrawn quickly. (…) Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg had publicly assured in parallel that decided to take action against incorrect information about the coronavirus ”(41).

Stefan Krempl, IT specialist magazine Heise Online

"'Corona is more of a head problem'. The flu currently poses a significantly higher risk than the corona virus, according to the doctor. 200 lives in Germany, a message from Thursday morning, had requested this in the first months of the year. 17,000 had already been infected in this country. Compared to the few hundred corona cases known in Germany, which mostly went off lightly, this was far worse. Nevertheless, there is a great deal of uncertainty among the population regarding the subject of corona, a 'huge noise', as Hable says ”(42).

Dr. Michael Hable, medical officer

"You cannot prevent the infection. The asymptomatic are just as virus-spreading as the symptomatic. (…) The symptomatic are actually less contagious than the asymptomatic, which are still in the incubation period.  (…) It is completely hopeless to want to protect against viral infection. That is why the measures that are being taken at the moment are completely absurd ”(43).

Dr. Claus Köhnlein, internist

“We could make a simple estimate of the IFR as 0.36% based on halving the lowest limit of the CFR prediction interval.  However, the considerable uncertainty about how many people suffer from the disease, the proportion of asymptomatic patients (and the demographics of those affected) means that this IFR is probably an overestimation. (...) In Iceland, where most tests were carried out per capita, the IFR is somewhere between 0.01% and 0.19%. Taking into account historical experience, trends in data, the increased number of infections in the largest population group and the potential effects of misclassification of deaths, a presumed estimate for the COVID-19 IFR is between 0.1% and 0.36% "(44).

Dr. Jason Oke, Professor Dr. Carl Heneghan, Oxford University, UK

“In every country, more people die from regular flu than from the corona virus. (…) What has stopped the swine flu pandemic and what does virus stop in general? Anyone who believes the government is killing viruses is completely wrong. What is really happening The virus, that no one can stop spreading in the population, and then the population, not the vulnerable, is exposed to the virus, and at the same time the body produces antibodies to switch off and prevent the disease. The virus is currently spreading in Israel by a very large number of people who do not know they have it, and people are exposed to the virus and become immune. The chain of infection is interrupted and the virus comes to a standstill ”(45).

Professor Dr. Yoram Lass, former director general of the Israeli Ministry of Health

"The only 'basis' of the completely absurd' corona floating in the fact-free vacuum Dizziness is the '5% IPS patient lie' - every primary school student knows that the ratio of IPS patients to sick people (ie those who test positive) of 1:20 aka 5% is in reality a factor of 100 or even lower because Although every IPS patient is tested, the least diseased, ergo less than 0.05%, and the 'corona dead Lies with which everyone knows what I know who died (random) carrier of ONE (PCR extremely sensitive) corona virus as AN COVID-19 deceased. This is the case in Italy and Germany, and because I never received an answer to my question to the BAG, probably also with us and everywhere else ”(46).

Dr. Thomas Binder, doctor, Switzerland

"As far as can be seen, the various exit restrictions were enacted by general decree, referring to Section 28 Infection Protection Act. Among the few lawyers who have spoken out publicly, it seems - and rightly so - the majority agree that they are all illegal. § 28 IfSG is already not a suitable legal basis - apart from the fact that the proportionality of some restrictions is also very doubtful. Therefore, in my opinion, an action against the general decree - or against the penalties or fines based on it - would have good prospects of success ”(47).

Dr. Jessica Hamed, criminal and constitutional lawyer

“In my opinion - and I have a lot in common with many other doctors - the virus is about the same danger as influenza. We see this in the death rates, which are around 0.3 to 0.7 percent. That's what we see with influenza. The course is similar. So it is a disease of the ear, nose and throat. This is an infection that is similar to influenza and is similarly contagious. (…) Measles are significantly more dangerous ”(48).

Professor Dr. Stefan Hockertz, immunologist and toxicologist

"The numbers of 20 or 50,000 corona infected, that are mentioned every day in different countries are utter nonsense. Not even 1 percent of the population has been tested using highly questionable tests. We don't know anything about the other 99 percent. A strong increase in flu symptoms was already noticed at the beginning of February.  They were probably already corona cases. Only it has not been tested. In any case, the current measures are not based on facts, but are an irrational overreaction ”(49).

Dr. Gerd Reuter, medical doctor

“In Italy, the number of deaths during the regular flu season is 20 times higher than that previously with Covid 19 died. How is it that we don't overload the intensive care units every year? Here are the data from Covid-19 in Italy, updated on March 10, 2020 at 6:00 p.m .: 8514 cases with 631 deaths. Note that this selection is chosen extremely selectively, as the tests are mainly performed on sick people.
The majority of experts, including Ilaria Capua, believe that asymptomatic cases are 10 to 100 times higher. Therefore, the mortality rate will not be 7.4%, but at least ten times lower. (…) These data confirm that we are still facing a panic epidemic and that the media are the main spreaders ”(50).

Dr. Leopoldo Salmaso from Italy specializes in infectious and tropical diseases as well as public health

"It is neither possible to demonstrate a significantly increased lethality of the virus, nor a pandemic course. For scientific reasons, in my opinion it is imperative to create a statistical study, to check the real danger of the situation. Politicians and the medical profession are in complete blind flight during the corona crisis - not a pandemic not proven there. This can and will cost human lives ”(51).

Dr. Richard Capek, medic

"This significantly overestimates the mortality from the disease, how much is unknown. So we have a muddle of terms that ultimately explains why we keep talking about infected people instead of positive people. The high numbers remain in memory, for example the mortality rate of 3.4% stated by the WHO. And that creates fear. (...) that we have to make sure that the media does not use the power of images to create emotions that affect our judgment. If you get pictures of coffins and death departments from Italy or pictures of completely empty shelves, then their effects exceed the facts mentioned ”(52).

Professor Dr. Gerd Bosbach, Professor of Statistics, Mathematics and empirical economic and social research and co-author of the well-known book "Lies with Numbers"

“I did a scientific study on chloroquine and viruses that was published thirteen years ago. Since then, four other studies by other authors have shown that the coronavirus responds to chloroquine.  None of this is new. It takes my breath away that the group of decision-makers doesn't even know about the latest science. We knew about the possible effect of chloroquine on cultured virus samples. It was known to be an effective antivirus ”(53).

Professor Dr. Didier Raoult is an infectious disease expert and runs a hospital in Marseille, France

"[Question: Professor Edenharter, are the current contact bans and exit restrictions covered by the Basic Law and the applicable laws?]  A clear no.  First of all, there is no suitable legal basis. In addition, regulations have been adopted in at least some federal states that disproportionately restrict the freedom rights of certain groups of people ”(54).

Professor Dr. Andrea Edenharter, legal professor


"[Quotes a colleague] In this context, I would like to point out that the RKI speaks out against post-mortems for reasons of infection protection! (...) So far, it was a matter of course for pathologists to take appropriate safety precautions, even with infectious diseases such as HIV / AIDS, hepatitis, tuberculosis, PRION diseases, etc. to autopsy.   Are you afraid of knowing the real causes of death for those who tested positive?  Could it be that the corona deaths would melt away like snow in the spring sun?  By the way, minimal or limited autopsies, as recommended by the RKI, are always problematic, because you can usually only find what you are looking for, but essential unexpected findings often go undetected ”(55).

“If a virus does not kill itself or kill alone, but only in conjunction with other diseases, then you shouldn't blame the virus alone.  That this happens with COVID-19 is not only wrong, it is dangerously misleading.  Because you forget that many other factors - local factors - can play a decisive role. (…) I can only say: These measures are self-destructive and that if society accepts and carries them out, this is like a collective suicide ”(56).

“Journalism that only parrots public statements without criticism has ended.
(…) Reading newspapers is fast at the moment. Two minutes, like in the GDR. Scroll once and you know that the government's opinion has not changed and neither has the media logic. Actually, I've already said everything about it. I wrote last week how journalism and politics have rocked each other at the imperative of attention, thereby creating a reality that can no longer be discussed by three people on the street. This is the death of the public, which cannot be revived online ”(57).

"According to the" Kurier "(Wednesday edition), the Salzburg internist Jochen Schuler spoke of" non-quantifiable medical collateral damage from the shutdown.   'There is currently a large number of patients who are not well cared for.  The usual ways in the health system are blocked for many, 'said Schuler.

"This suggests that the overall clinical outcomes of Covid-19 Ultimately, they are more similar to those of severe seasonal flu (with a death rate of around 0.1%) or pandemic flu (similar to those from 1957 and 1968) than to a disease such as SARS or MERS, in which the deaths were 9 to 10% or 36% were ”(59).

“It is often said that if you now compare this corona virus with influenza, it is a trivialization. But that's not the case. So in Germany we have a very
very high disease burden from the influenza virus and also very, very many deaths. The worst influenza year in recent history in Germany was the winter of 2018. It was as a result that around 25,000 people died in Germany within a period of 8 weeks.  And if you imagine it now with a media accompaniment, as is common today with the corona virus, then it would be that we would get such reports every week: in the first week 100 people died in Germany, then there were 1000 people, then it was 5000 the next week, that's 8000, then the numbers slowly decrease again. That would be very, very dramatic if it were really accompanied by such media. With Corona we are very, very far away from this situation. Nevertheless, the fear that many have is far greater than it was in winter 2018 ”(60).

“400 people were reported in Styria alone because they did something wrong. And I already think 'wow'. We would not have let anyone offer us that recently, which is now forbidden to us.  You have to weigh it up: Is this medical risk, on the one hand, that we actually have, worth it, that we let all our freedoms be trampled on? Is that proportionate or not? I find this question important. Because of course: The fear patient always wants radical solutions. He wants total solutions.  The anxious patient wants this because he is afraid, he wants the virus away ”(61).

“Since Le Bon at the latest, mass psychology has taught us that, especially in times of crisis, people unite to form a uniform mass under the impression of a threat.  It does not matter whether the threat exists objectively, or is only perceived as such, or maybe just constructed. This extraordinarily powerful mass psychological mechanism works particularly well with a threat that is perceived as unknown, i.e. new. For example, a virus like the corona virus ”(62).

"How does discrediting and disinformation work? (...) Strategy 1: The persons concerned are presented in a disparaging way (...) 2: Words are used around the term field 'lies' (...) 3: Arguments are not given specifically, but only hinted at and evaluated (...) 4: In the alleged contradiction, only perspectives or even confirmations are brought (...) 5: Contradictory or strange statements of the mainstream opinion remain unilluminated (...) 6: Arguments are brought up per government line, which - literally - are meaningless (...) 7: Statements by the person concerned are given incorrectly or not at all (...) However, as a linguist, I do see that there are filters and discourse patterns from journalists and lobbyists that are not very helpful for the discussion, because they hide the view of arguments ”(63).

"So far, the Robert Koch Institute and the Federal Government have avoided collecting and publishing the number of weekly corona tests in Germany.

"The actual number of coronavirus positives' can only be given after a serious epidemiological study," warns Gismondo.  She warns: 'The only reliable numbers today are those of patients who are treated in the sub-intensive care and intensive care units and those of deaths'. As a result, the virologist makes it clear: 'Today we can only talk about the percentage of deaths among hospitalized patients.  All other numbers are wrong 'and as such' they also distort people's impression '. It also has dangerous effects on the psyche. We conclude - according to Gismondo - that can change the trend of the measures taken and influence the behavior of the citizens ”(65).

“Consider the effects of the closure of offices, schools, transportation systems, restaurants, hotels, shops, theaters, concert halls, sporting events and other venues indefinitely and the related unemployment and unemployment of all of your employees.  The likely outcome would be not just depression, but a complete economic breakdown with countless jobs lost long before a vaccine is ready or natural immunity sets in. (...) advise people at higher risk,
protect yourself through physical distance and aggressively increase our healthcare capacity. With this battle plan, we could gradually build immunity without destroying the financial structure on which our lives are based ”(66).

"I'm not a friend of lockdown. Anyone who imposes something like this must also say when and how to pick it up again. Since we have to assume that the virus will be with us for a long time, I wonder when do we return to normal? You can't keep schools and day care centers closed until the end of the year. Because it will take at least that long until we have a vaccine. Italy has imposed a lockdown and has the opposite effect. They quickly reached their capacity limits,
did not slow down the virus spread within the lockdown at all. A lockdown is a measure of political despair, because coercive measures mean that you can go further than the generation of reason ”(67).

The investigation suggests that the disease may have been common in the UK two months earlier than the first case was officially diagnosed.  (…) Should the results of the study prove correct, this would indicate that only one in every 1,000 infected patients will need hospital treatment and there is hope that the UK's 'lockdown' measures will be lifted earlier than planned could "(68).

In Africa, a million could be infected with meningitis, which is transmitted by spit - and the planes come and go. Nobody cares. There are 135,000 people infected with tuberculosis in Latin America, and none are upset. When someone makes a lot of noise about something like Corona ...

“Personally, I would say the best advice is to spend less time watching television news that is sensational and not very good.  I personally consider this Covid outbreak to be a bad winter flu epidemic. In this case, we had 8000 deaths in the risk groups last year, i.e. over 65% people with heart disease etc. I don't think the current Covid will exceed that number. We are suffering from a media epidemic! ”(72).

"It is important that the results that we present here suggest that ongoing epidemics in the UK and Italy started at least a month before the first reported death and have already led to the accumulation of significant levels of herd immunity in both countries.  There is an inverse relationship between the proportion of currently immune animals and the proportion of the population susceptible to serious diseases. This relationship can be used to determine how many people will need to be hospitalized (and possibly die) in the coming weeks if we are able to precisely determine the current level of herd immunity ”(74).

“The same applies to all other statements in this Spiegel online report. Especially suspicious is that in 2009 the so-called 'swine flu' virus, also known as 'H1N1', would have triggered a pandemic with 150,000 deaths worldwide.
In fact, 'the great fear of the' swine flu pandemic 'was staged in the media,' 'as Ulrich Keil, professor of epidemiology and social medicine at the University of Münster, consultant to the World Health Organization (WHO) for decades and until 2002 chair of the European Region of the World Association of Epidemiologists IEA, rightly stated. 'That is forgotten today, since after the catastrophe that did not take place in Germany it was not worked out which mistakes were made in evaluating the H1N1 flu virus infection.

"No more than 10 people will die from the novel coronavirus disease COVID-19 in Israel," said Nobel laureate Michael Levitt on Wednesday when the government continued to impose additional restrictions on the population. Levitt said Coronavirus fears in Israel are disproportionate to the threat, and the number of cases in the country is uncertain due to variations in reporting. 'I would be surprised if the number of deaths in Israel exceeded 10,' he said, adding that the Jewish state 'cannot be found on the world map regarding the disease' '”(77).

"In the current climate, anyone who has a positive test for Covid-19, the clinical staff who take care of him, will Certainly be known: If one of these patients dies, the staff must write the name Covid-19 on the death certificate - contrary to the usual practice for most infections of this type. There is a big difference between Covid-19, which causes death, and Covid-19 found in someone who died of other causes. If you make Covid-19 reportable, it could appear that it is causing more and more deaths, whether that's true or not. It could make it seem a lot more like a killer than a flu, simply because of the way how deaths are registered ”(78).

I'm not talking about the pandemic, because I've seen 30 of them, one every year. It's called influenza. And other respiratory viruses, we don't always know what they are. But I've never seen this reaction before, and I'm trying to understand why. (…) Print,
that is exercised on public health doctors and those responsible for public health. And this pressure comes from different sides. The first place he came from was the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) when he said, 'This is a serious threat and a number one enemy of the state,' I have never heard of a WHO Director General using such terms ”(80).

"In general, the current widespread idea is to be opposed, that health and life are a priori higher priorities than other constitutional goods in the necessary balancing decisions. Even if it is difficult: The basic right to life and physical integrity (Art. 2 Abs. 2 S. 1 GG) is subject to a simple legal reservation. In the interest of personal freedom, we do not force anyone to consent to postmortem organ donation even though people on the waiting lists die every day. Of course, a speed limit on the motorways and a ban on overtaking on country roads would mean that nine people would not die on Germany's streets every day; we don't do it because we (here in my opinion absurdly) weight mobile freedom higher than the protection of life ”(81).

"The European 'mortality monitor', to which all deaths are reported weekly, even shows immortality at the moment.  The feared rush to the hospitals has also failed to materialize. Reliable data are therefore lacking, which justify the severity of the interventions. (...) This is undoubtedly the largest redistribution program ever in peacetime. Fortune knights and subsidy hunters will benefit
who are looking for gaps in the roughly knitted laws. Sectors such as delivery services or medical device manufacturers will also benefit, which you cannot blame for this. All others, especially transfer recipients and taxpayers, will lose. (…) In hindsight, we all have to pay for it ”(82).

“The CDC counts both real COVID-19 cases and speculative assumptions of COVID-19 equally. They call it death from COVID-19. They automatically overestimate the actual death toll, as they admit. Before COVID-19, it was more likely that people were given an exact cause of death on their death certificates when they died in the hospital. Why more precisely when a patient dies in the hospital? Because the hospital staff has laboratories for physical examination results, radiological studies, etc. to make a good educated guess.  It is estimated that 60 percent of people die in hospital. But even [in these] hospital deaths, the cause of death is not always clear, especially in someone with multiple health conditions, each of whom could cause death ”(83).

"The Federal Association of German Pathologists (BDP) and the German Society for Pathology (DGP) are calling for as many autopsies as possible from those who have died of corona. In doing so, they contradict the Robert Koch Institute's recommendation to avoid internal examinations in such cases.  On the contrary, it is necessary to gain further knowledge about the disease and its often astonishingly brilliant course and to answer open questions. In the best case, further therapy options could be derived from this - this is the value of the autopsy for the living, according to Prof. Dr. med. K.-F. Bürrig, President of the Federal Association.

“Interestingly, the type B prevalent in Wuhan is not the original human virus type. But also in Wuhan comes type A, the original human virus genome, quite before. In this first phase of the outbreak, the A and C types were found in significant proportions outside of East Asia - among those affected in Europe, Australia and America. In contrast, the B type is the most common type in East Asia. (...) For example, it was initially assumed that the first northern Italian case of infection ('Patient One') had been infected by a certain Wuhan contact person from his circle of friends. But when this contact person was tested, it turned out that she didn't have the virus. The search for the Italian 'patient zero' thus ended in a dead end ”(90).

“Because what is exaggerated are rare individual cases, and in some cases only indications, which on closer inspection pose no problem at all.  Cases have also been reported as “secondary infections”, in which the virus was detected again by means of PCR after a Covid-19 disease had healed, but without the persons again showing symptoms. It is therefore worthwhile if you first orientate yourself towards 'normal biology'.  And this is clear: We form neutralizing antibodies and thus immunity against virus infections - especially against beta coronaviruses, to which the SARS-CoV-2 belongs.

Because it could be used to create 24-hour movement profiles of people.  Thus, the traceability of the infection chain would be possible. At the same time, you would actually have the same result as if you observed us all around the clock.

“Corona shows that digital platforms may be important, but reality is still set by the leading media. The power lies with those who manage to place their version of reality in the Tagesschau, in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, in the mirror, in time, in the Bild newspaper. We saw what happens when government press releases become media reality, the big editorials howl with politicians, and their little followers brand every deviant on the web as a conspirator and health enemy. Approval rates as in North Korea ”(111).

Professor Dr. Michael Meyen, Professor of Communication Science at the LMU Munich

“Based on public and published information, we estimate that the overall symptomatic risk of death (likelihood of dying after developing symptoms) of COVID-19 in Wuhan was 1.4% (0.9-2.1%), which is significantly lower than both the corresponding raw or naive confirmed death risk (2,169 / 48,557 = 4.5%) and the approximator1 of deaths / deaths + recoveries (2,169 / 2,169 + 17,572 = 11%) as of February 29, 2020 ”( 112).

Professor Dr. Tsz Kei Joseph Wu (et al), Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Hong Kong, China

"A scientifically founded discourse of all relevant medical societies B. ad hoc commission did not take place. Instead, virologists became media stars and political advisors who are now proclaiming the war against Corona (President Macron) or draconian measures for democracies.  (...) However, large parts of the medical societies agree immunologically, herd immunization by infection or vaccination is required to stop the pandemic.  (…) Experienced by the media, one stage of escalation after another, and are now faced with the restriction of democratically guaranteed fundamental rights without even leading the democratic social process of a discursive dialogue ”(113).

Professor Dr. med. Harald Matthes is the medical director of the Berlin Community Hospital Havelhöhe

“Autopsies on COVID-19 deceased patients are no more dangerous than other infectious deceased people, for example those infected with tuberculosis or HIV or hepathitis C. (...) Of course, the autopsy has to make a very important contribution - as they say - to clarify the correct cause of death. Whether you died of COVID or with COVID. It is also about better understanding this new clinical picture ”(114).

Professor Dr. Gustavo Baretton is Chairman of the German Society for Pathology (DGP)

“The pandemic psychosis opens up the possibility of creating a new totalitarian world order to save humanity. The fact that there are greater interests in generating or even using a mass delusion is immediately punished as a 'conspiracy theory'. (...) The fear of viruses only needs to be stirred up for a long time, for example by virus mutation or 'new' viruses, so that practically all emergency laws must continue. With the fear of infection and death, all protests and all counter evidence are nipped in the bud and all serious consequences, such as unemployment, bankruptcy, impoverishment, social hardship,
Severe mental and psychosocial illnesses, violence, are blamed on the viruses. The political and economic conditions and causes remain untouched ”(115).

Dr. Hans-Joachim Maaz, former chief physician of the clinic for psychotherapy and psychosomatic medicine in Halle and long-time chairman of the German Society for Analytical Psychotherapy and Depth Psychology

"To date, a large part of the hectically cleared intensive care beds in hospitals is empty. Word got around that the first predictions of an unchecked exponential spread of the allegedly completely new corona virus were far exaggerated. The all-clear is in the air, accompanied by warnings not to give up the contact block and isolation too quickly. But did they really help to avoid a medical disaster? Largely unnoticed data from the Robert Koch Institute suggest that the trend was reversed even before the toughest countermeasures such as school closings and ban on meetings. And that SARS-CoV-2 has only a partial role in the diseases in focus - like every year the different viruses for the flu season ”(116).

Dr. Johannes Wollbold, systems biologist and mathematician

“We should never have pressed the stop button.  Commentators and Monday trainers have to switch off the flashlight: The Danish health service has control over the situation. And the total shutdown was a step too far ”(117).

Professor Dr. Jens Otto Lunde Jörgensen, Aarhus Universitetshospital, Denmark

"Some of the water carriers of the new world government have already spill over: lifting the restrictions on fundamental rights would require that there be a vaccine or a drug against 'Covid-19'. The fact that the vast majority of those affected either don't get sick at all or manage the disease without any therapy,
unmask the threat of this announcement ”(118).

Dr. Gerd Reuther, university lecturer and specialist in radiology

“The epidemic reveals a second, no less disturbing fact: the state of emergency, which the governments have been attuning to us for some time, has become our normal state. There have been worse epidemics in the past than today, but no one had ever thought of declaring a state of emergency like the one now that even prevents us from moving freely. People have got used to living in conditions of constant crisis and emergency.  They do not seem to notice that their lives have been reduced to a purely biological function and that they have lost not only every social or political dimension, but also human or affective dimensions. A society that lives in a constant state of emergency cannot be a free society ”(119).

Professor Dr. Giorgio Agamben, Italy. Professor of philosophy at the Universities of Venice and Paris

"According to a new study by the RKI, the number of reproductions they called, which indicates how many new people are infected by an infected person ... dropped to below 1 before the lockdown. (...) If you look at the graphics, you can see (...) on the 20th March it drops below 1. Three days later the lockdown came. That was March 23. And if you look further now, you can see that the curve stays below 1 with minor fluctuations. It is not the case that after the lockdown the curve continues to go down. One can therefore conclude two things: 1.
The lockdown was not necessary because it [reproductive factor, number of reproductions] was already below 1, and 2. the lockdown was also not effective because it [reproductive factor, number of reproductions] did not decrease further due to the lockdown ”(120).

Professor Dr. Stefan Homburg, University of Hanover

“It is important that the doctors are heard.  But there are obviously situations (...) where doctors in the hospital and the official functions have been muzzled ”(121).

Dr. Stephan Rietiker, medical doctor, Switzerland

"The psychological principle that makes us afraid of swine flu, bird flu or COVID-19, but not common flu, means fear of the risk of fear. It is easy to instill fear of episodes in which many people die within a short interval, such as Airplane crashes or epidemics.  (...) For example, when swine flu spread, many governments followed the advice of the World Health Organization and hoarded Tamiflu, a drug that was put on the market to protect against the serious consequences of the flu. However, many WHO consultants have had financial ties to drug manufacturers and there is still no evidence that Tamiflu is effective ”(122).

Professor Dr. Gerd Gigerenzer is director of the Harding Center for Risk Competence at the University in Potsdam

“Suicides, social anger and legal complaints - epidemics such as those of SARS (2003 in China and Canada) and Ebola (2014 in West Africa) have already illustrated what can cause a quarantine in the people affected.  The potential benefits of such mandatory mass isolation must therefore be carefully weighed against the psychological disadvantages, emphasize Dr. Samantha K. Brooks from London’s King’s College and colleagues ”(123).

"'We expect the Chancellor To be able to resume the drastically postponed hospital treatments. ’(...) Gass emphasizes: 'People are at risk of dying because they are not being treated in time because of corona.' There are 30 percent decline in occupancy rates in the clinics. Gass: 'We have 150,000 free hospital beds and around 10,000 free intensive care beds.' (...) In Berlin only 68 ITS beds are occupied by corona patients, 60 of whom are ventilated. This contrasts with 341 empty ITS beds. Gaß: 'The Berlin emergency clinic with 1000 beds in the exhibition halls is currently not needed' (124).

Dr. Gerald Gaß, President of the German Hospital Society

"Has SARS-CoV-2 fooled the whole world? (...) An IFR of 0.1%, which is probably a conservative number, indicates that everyone is already infected. This implies that SARS-CoV-2 spread quickly before almost everyone was aware of it. It is therefore likely that the virus is airborne.  I urge the world to get away from the barriers quickly and orderly and to develop sensible approaches to fighting the disease without causing further economic misery. It may be difficult to do this, but the cure is currently far worse than the disease ”(125).

Professor Dr. Mikko Paunio, Epidemiologist, University of Helsinki, Finland

"I think what we see is a tsunami of an ordinary mild illness that sweeps across Europe and some countries do it and some countries do it and some countries don't and in the end there will be very small differences (... ) Most people who get it will not even notice that they are infected ”(126).

The Media, CDC, WHO - Scare Tactics, Lies, and Misinformation

Every day I'm learning something new about Covid-19, the flu, and the lies in the news.  I'm sure most people are aware that according to the news reports each year flu deaths are somewhere between 40,000-70,000.  This year, through April 25, they are at 5,846 from the CDC website.  This makes me wonder how many flu deaths are being reported as Covid-19.  See below for why I am wondering this (about the CDC guidelines for reporting Covid-19).  Also, as of April 25, the total Covid-19 deaths (which is no doubt padded with those missing flu deaths along with other URI's) was 37,308 (54,256 was reported in the news on that date).  Don't believe it?  Here's a chart from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS):

I read today that the news gets their numbers from Worldometer Coronavirus US.  I wonder why that is.  Could it be for ratings and to scare people?

Also in the news, they were interviewing someone about Covid-19.  The interviewer asked what about people who don't want to get vaccinated.  At first, the answer sounded like it might be reasonable.  The person said they are mostly well-educated people but they go on the internet and find misinformation.  That seems like a contradiction.  I'm well educated, I know when I see misinformation.  How?  I've either investigated it already or I will.  Then I find the truth.  That is what well-educated people do.  I've researched vaccines for the past 5 years.  The CDC claims they are safe.  Here is what I found:
1.  U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) said they were "Unavoidably Unsafe."  Does SCOTUS give out misinformation?  It was for that reason all liability was removed from the makers of vaccines.
2.  Over $4.2 Billion has been paid out by VICP (Vaccine Injury Compensation Program) for vaccine injuries.  Only about 33% who file win their cases.  Most people never heard about the program.  Most doctors deny the adverse reaction so most people never know to file.
3.  If you go to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) you'll find hundreds of thousands of injuries and deaths from vaccines.  A study was done by Harvard Pilgrim over a three year period and the conclusion showed that only about 1% of injuries get reported to VAERS.
4.  There have never been any Gold Standard safety studies of vaccines.  Not one has ever used an inert placebo.  Even now, the Oxford study for the Covid-19 vaccine is using the Meningitis vaccine as their "placebo."  That vaccine has killed more people than meningitis does.  No doubt the Covid-19 vaccine will be found to be safe.  With that kind of "study", they may as well just say it's safe and save some money.  Would you want that injected into you?  I don't.  Remember, once it's injected, it can be un-injected.
5.  If vaccines are effective, why make them mandatory?  You get it, you are protected (of course, that is not true but that is what they want you to believe).  Well, what about the immune-compromised?  With some vaccines, you can still be an asymptomatic carrier of the disease and not know, so you become a stealth carrier and can give it to them.  If they are effective, how did outbreaks of mumps happen aboard a navy ship and a college campus where 100% were vaccinated?

Who is misinformed?  Maybe I should have said, WHO is misinformed, ha ha.  Well, back to the interview on the news.  The scare tactics.  The interviewee was talking about some possible new Covid-19 strain that is even worse than the current one going around (not sure if it was new or mutated - if mutated, then the vaccine wouldn't do much good anyway).  He then went on to say if you get it you might suffer "a horrible death."  People can suffer a horrible death from heart disease, diabetes, cancer, car accidents, other accidents, etc.  So should we outlaw everything and just stop living?  It almost seems like that is what they want.  Be afraid, be very afraid, so that way you'll do anything they tell you.  Unfortunately, that fear is killing people - Some people might need cancer treatment, have a heart attack or other heart problem, diabetes, and any number of things that they normally would go to the hospital for, but now they are too scared to leave their home and/or go to a hospital where they might catch Covid-19.  I heard on the news, too, that some hospitals have "Do Not Resuscitate" orders because of Covid-19.

Did you hear about the New York health department order, backed up by the governor, to house Covid-19 patients released from the hospital in nursing homes?  The last death toll I heard from that order was 3,500.  Updated May 11, 2020 - At least 28,100 residents and workers have died from the coronavirus at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities for older adults in the United States, according to a New York Times database (See article here). The virus so far has infected more than 153,000 at some 7,700 facilities.  I wonder how many others were the result of health department mandates?  Today in the news a doctor said how unlikely it was to get infected while you are out in the fresh air, that any exposure to the virus would be so small that your immune system would fight it off.  The very next thing he said, when asked about masks, was that everyone should wear them when going out.  But according to many virologists, immunologists, and doctors, they can also harm the health of those wearing them and weaken the immune system which is the last thing you would want.  Confused?  You should be when health departments, the CDC, the WHO, doctors, scientists, etc., all disagree on what is best and make decisions that are killing people.  The only thing everyone seems to agree on is that you need a good healthy immune system to fight the virus.  None of the "official" sources of information will tell you how to achieve that.  In fact, they will censor and/or block any information that does tell you how.  They even attack and discredit those who attempt to tell you.  If you scroll down to my post on what I do to stay healthy, then research each item I mention, you just may save yourself from ill-health.

I have no doubt the daily statistics on the news are lies.  Why?  First, they said Covid-19 was killing 3-4% of those infected.  Now we know it's less than 1%.  That was because the number of cases was a lot higher than reported.  Next came the CDC Covid-19 Guidelines.  The last paragraph of the guidelines says, "COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death."  I read that hospitals are being paid $13,000 for each Covid-19 patient they treat, plus $39,000 if they go on a ventilator.  I'm guessing a lot of hospitals are telling their doctors to assume that whatever URI (Upper Respiratory Infection, such as influenza, flu-like illness, pneumonia unrelated to Covid-19, etc. ) someone died from, list it as Covid-19 - they would, after all, be following CDC guidelines.  In addition, the normal death rate when on a ventilator is 50%, but if someone has Covid-19, the death rate goes up to 80-90%.  I'll leave the logic and common sense to you.  I doubt we'll ever know the actual number of deaths from Covid-19.

Perhaps the worst misinformation of all is that if it is not a drug or a vaccine, it's misinformation.  Anything natural that probably would save most lives lost to Covid-19 is either censored or labeled misinformation.  That they are doing that is sickening (literally and figuratively).  Someone the other day even attacked my post for sharing the following:  Augmenting Your Immunity.  After you read the page at this link, click his bio in the "About" menu at the top - it is impeccable (Harvard Medical School graduate and MIT graduate, and founder of the Xprize, plus much more).  Here's his photo for those interested (it's from his website, I didn't shoot it).

You probably also won't hear on the news that one of the groups at highest risk for poor outcomes with Covid-19 are those who are obese.  This virus should be a wake-up call for most people to start taking better care of themselves, which they should do anyway.  I realize there are some people who have health problems they have no control over, but most have a choice.  Choose wisely - it may save your life.  And start investigating what you hear in the news as much of it is fake.  Please check my prior posts for more information about vaccine, Covid-19, and how to have the best chance to stay healthy (I agree with Dr. Diamandis's Augmenting Your Immunity).

The following has been added on May 11, 2020:

From the NY Times (https://www.nytimes.com/…/01/26/health/flu-rates-deaths.html)

"Jan. 26, 2018

This year’s flu season is now more intense than any since the 2009 swine flu pandemic and still getting worse, federal health officials said on Friday.

Nationally, the number of people falling ill with flu is increasing. More worrying, the hospitalization rate — a predictor of the death rate — has just jumped.

It is now on track to equal or surpass that of the 2014-2015 flu season. In that year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates, 34 million Americans got the flu, 710,000 were hospitalized and about 56,000 died.

Here's a link to the 2017-2018 flu season: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden-averted/2017-2018.htm… - you can see the chart from that CDC link below.

And a chart from the Washington Post (from the CDC) showing flu deaths from 2013 to 2020. Where did those 56,000 deaths disappear to in 2014-2015 and the 61,099 deaths for the 2017- 2018 flu season? From the chart it looks like the real numbers of deaths were around 9000 and 17000 respectively.

One has to wonder, and I certainly do wonder, how much Covid-19 numbers are also inflated. It looks like the media inflated the flu by about a factor of 6. And there were no lock downs, no masks, no social distancing, and no destruction of the economy.

One more statistic - daily deaths in the U.S. in 2019 from all causes was 7,969. Shouldn't they force everyone to eat healthy, outlaw obesity, outlaw driving, swimming pools, and everything else that could result in death, and just make everyone stay home. Imagine all the lives that would be saved.everyone to eat healthily, outlaw obesity, outlaw driving, swimming pools, and everything else that could result in death, and just make everyone stay home. Imagine all the lives that would be saved.

Covid-19 - Great Information That Just Might Help You

The healthier you are and the stronger your immune system, the better the chances of avoiding Covid-19.  If you do get Covid-19, then you need to give your immune system the support it needs and optimize it.  I have heard nothing in the media or from the CDC/government about how you should do that.  Below are links to some excellent information about Covid-19 and things you may want to try.  I've been supporting and optimizing my immune system for over 25 years with excellent results avoiding colds, flu, and many other health problems and believe you can do the same.  You can see what I take and do at this LINK.  The rest of the page is based on information I've collected over the past few weeks.  Unlike what you hear in the media, it's not about the economy vs deaths from Covid-19.  It is about deaths caused by the destruction of the economy, job losses, and the effects of social isolation.

May 5, 2020 - More Links - Here is one about Intravenous Vitamin C (IVC).  Here's one (a YouTube Video) from Dr. John Iannidis.  Here's another video from Swedish Expert Prof. Johann Giesecke.  It talks about why Sweden doesn't have lockdowns.  And another good and informative article by Dr. Mercola about Covid-19 and Insulin Resistance.

April 29, 2020 - Today I read about the supposed success of the drug Remsdirivir lowering the duration of Covid-19 by 31%.  In the article, they said there were a few other drugs they were testing.  So once again all they will talk about in the media are drugs and waiting for a vaccine.  There is never a mention of nutrition nor supplements to support/optimize your immune system.  Thankfully, I have been educated in that, have studied it for 40 years, and practice it on myself, and it has worked for me.  The results of that education are at the link in the first paragraph.  Guess what - keeping your immune system healthy costs almost nothing and has no side effects.  Even better - you don't have to wait, a good healthy diet and supplements are available now.

April 28, 2020 - Click this link to learn about the dangers of wearing a mask.  Then whatever you decide of think is right, at least you can make an informed decision and not attack someone who isn't wearing one in public.

April 25, 2020 - I had heard this from Judy Mikovits (immunologist) and just got backed up from two doctors who have been treating Covid-19 patients and have also studied immunology for 20 years each - wearing a face mask can make you more susceptible to infections.  Staying at home will weaken your immune system.  As will a poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, obesity, etc.  The CDC, etc., won't share that information with you.  So these are the things that you need to know to stay healthy, which they continue to hide from you, or even worse, continue to censor and debunk.  From the time I started studying and researching vaccines 5 years ago, and now Covid-19, all I find from the media and CDC/government are lies and misinformation.  But with Covid-19, it's worse - they are destroying lives and the economy and the results of that may be much worse than the damage from the virus itself.  As always, you should (you really need to) watch The Highwire with Del Bigtree.  I'm sure most of you have heard the phrase, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."  This may have never been more true than now, literally.  From what I heard this week, we've already passed the tipping point with the lockdowns - they will now cause more death than the virus, perhaps many orders of magnitude higher, and the longer the lockdowns go on, the worse it will get.

April 18, 2020 - I was thinking about the information in my update from April 17 along with everything else that has been going on with the government response to Covid-19 and thinking about what I would write today.  And, lo and behold, in my email this morning was the latest newsletter from Dr. Mercola in which he interviewed Shiva Ayyadurai, Ph.D. from MIT discussing exactly this subject the same way that I was thinking about it.  Here is the link along with the video or downloadable transcript of the interview.  One of the things he talked about explains why I am putting the links here and not on Facebook - FB Censorship.  Anyway, the bottom line is that if you really want to know what is going on with the response to Covid-19, which may be no worse than the flu when everything is taken into account, you need to watch the interview.  And. as with vaccines, you need to use some logic, common sense, and do the research - I hope the links on this page help you get started.

April 17, 2020 - It seems like new information coming out every day.  Today it was announced that Santa Clara County, CA has been getting tested for antibodies and they found that there were 50-85 times more cases than the daily reports have been showing, which means that the death rate from Covid-19 is 1/50 - 1/85 of what has been getting reported.  Here is the link to that story.  That, coupled with the CDC reporting guidelines - that anything suspected or thought to be Covid-19 (even if it isn't) is to be listed as a death due to Covid-19 and it may turn out to be not even as bad as the flu.  After what they have been doing with the lockdowns, etc., I doubt they will ever admit this is the case.  Is it just me or has anyone else noticed there is no more flu, pneumonia, cancer, or other disease deaths reported?  Everyone who dies seems to have died from Covid-19.

NEW link added April 16 - Flu Misinformation and Coronavirus Fears - A letter from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to Sanjay Gupta with excellent information about the flu vaccine in relation to Covid-19.  A MUST read if you are thinking of getting a flu shot.

Added April 15, 2020 - Expert virologist Judy Mikovits on Covid-19 (and vaccines).  About a 2 hour video.

Added on April 14, 2020 - People keep saying it's Covid-19 deaths vs the economy. It's not that simple. From a study done years ago, they found that each 1% rise in unemployment was responsible for 36,000 deaths over the next five years (from suicides, depression, heart disease, stroke, drug use, etc.). They then adjusted that for the growth in population since then, and it is now projected to kill 58,000. Add to that the effects from social isolation and the numbers could end up, at some point in the near future, being much worse than from the virus. It's way more complex than economy vs virus. If you are doubting this, read this article from Scientific American blog:  The True Cost

NEW on 4/9/2020 - Hydrogen Peroxide Protocol - Watch the video at the top of his page.  Two nice things - nothing to lose if it doesn't work and everything to gain if it does.  And it's inexpensive.  Use food-grade H2O2 as the drug store brands have impurities in them.  Just follow the directions in the link.  It almost sounds too simple!  SECOND UPDATE to this blog - an episode of The Highwire that you have got to watch - it could save your life or that of someone you know relating to Covid-19.  Plus the interview with Knut Wittkowski is amazing.  And another supplement that may be helpful:  Glycyrrhiza
APRIL 11, 2020 - Interview with a state senator who is also an M.D. about Covid-19 reported deaths - a short video is included.

NOTE:  I read an article on March 14 about Covid-19 and some other viruses and suggestions about what may help you survive them - melatonin (new to me for this purpose but worth a try as it has other benefits), ascorbic acid (vitamin c), and nitric oxide (which your body can make).  Here's the link to the article.  You can read the whole article or go down about 40% of the page to the Melatonin subheading.  Again, no downside to trying these things.  I already take vitamin c and will be adding the melatonin (200-500mcg/day = 0.2 - 0.5mg/day).  And here's the latest article about Vitamin C as it relates to Covid-19 (3/18/2020).  UPDATE 3/22/2020:  Just read this article about Quercetin vs coronavirus.  I've been taking it for a while as a supplement and it's in the food I eat.  Here's more information from a medical doctor which is very similar to my information:  Dr. Peter Diamandis, MD.  UPDATE (3/29/2020) - Coronavirus Strategies.  Also, now that I've been taking the melatonin for several days, I can say I seem to be sleeping a little better and dreaming more.  Another new related article:  Nobel prize winner has good news on coronavirus…  4/1/2020 - I know it's April Fool's Day but this really happened - a doctor on the news talking about the possible benefits of Vitamin D related to Covid-19.  On 4/2 the same news station asked another doctor about Vitamin D - he had no comment - that's the usual response.

April 1, 2020 - NOTE:  I started this post on March 9, 2020.  As of today I am Covid-19 free (unless I had it back in January when I had that two-day scratchy throat).  If I'm sick at all, it's that I'm sick of hearing all the coronavirus news and the cries for help and cooperation with no mention of how to support your immune system.  Maybe if they told people how to do that there would be no pandemic.  Perhaps the hospitals wouldn't be overflowing and people wouldn't be scared for their lives.  Especially when it is still spreading exponentially with all the suggestions they've been giving.

April 3, 2020 - Below is a chart from the CDC listing the leading causes of death in the U.S.  They have left out one category - deaths caused from medical interventions, which are listed in the second chart below (or you can go to this link to see a more comprehensive explanation).

These two charts are each for a one year period during normal times.  I wonder if these totals will go up, down, or remain about the same for this year.

There are a couple of reasons I have included these during the Covid-19 pandemic.  The total CDC listed deaths from diseases are 1,864,422 in a year.  Add to that the deaths by medicine (excluding surgery and unnecessary procedures) of 714,800 and we have a total of 2,579,222 deaths per year or 7,066 every day in the U.S. from diseases.  As of today, there have been a total of _________ (fill in the blank) deaths from Covid-19 - not per day, but since the start.  And yet the media doesn't mention a word about all the leading causes of death every hour of every day as they are doing for Covid-19.  I'm not saying it shouldn't be covered, only that they shouldn't be scaring the hell out of everyone with what sounds like the end of the world.  You are a lot more likely to die from all the other possible causes above (and perhaps a lot of Covid-19 deaths are those other causes).  The other reason I list the above is from what I learned listening to The Highwire the past two weeks - that if anyone dies and they detect Covid-19 in their system, the cause of death is listed as Covid-19 regardless of whether that was the actual cause of death.  In other words, many Covid-19 deaths are from other causes that would have happened regardless of Covid-19.  I verified this in the CDC guidelines.  You will also learn if you watch The Highwire that the vast majority of deaths are happening in those with from 1-3 underlying health conditions - which you can see from the charts above.  I would bet that even if they don't have a known underlying health condition that those who are dying have a poor diet or vitamin/mineral deficiency of some kind.  Go back to April 14 above to get an idea of how many more will die over the next 5 years from the shutdown (hint:  over 500,000 based on unemployment of 15%, which could be higher and doesn't include the effect of social isolation, so who knows, maybe it'll end up being over a million).

The End of the World? Or The Year the World Stood Still?

If you quarantine yourself and stay at home (which you should if you have health problems), why would you care if I do.  After all, I'm not going break down your door and expose you.  There is the same kind of reasoning about vaccines.  If they are safe and effective as they claim, then all you would need to do is vaccinate yourself and you are then safe from anyone who doesn't, right?  So why would you care what anyone else does about a vaccine?  Again, you are safe and immune.  If it is not safe and effective, why would you bother getting it?  Why would anyone want any medical procedure to be made mandatory, including vaccines?   Would it be the end of the world  for you if others don't do these things?  Not if they work as they claim they do.

To many it may feel that way.  Thanks to the media's 24/7 coverage of Covid-19 many are living in fear.  And thanks to the government's response, that fear is becoming a reality.   I have seen totally sane people getting upset that the stay at home orders are getting close to being discontinued.  They should be a lot more afraid of what will happen if they continue.   People keep saying it's Covid-19 deaths vs the economy.  It's not.  That is what they want you to think.  From a study done years ago, they found each 1% rise in unemployment was responsible for 36,000 deaths over the next five years (from suicides, depression, heart disease, stroke, drug use, etc.). They then adjusted that for the growth in population since that study, and it is now projected to kill 58,000 over the next 5 years for each 1% rise.  Unemployment has now increased by 12-16% - so the math would say we are looking at 696,000 - 928,000 deaths just from unemployment.  Add to that the effects from social isolation plus the destruction of the economy, and the numbers could go much higher and end up being much worse than from the virus. It's way more complex than economy vs virus.  Do you really want to live in a world like that?  See The True Cost of the Pandemic.  Also Epidemiologist Warns Of Unintended Consequences From Lockdowns.  

If you think the true numbers of Covid-19 are being reported truthfully, you need to think again.  First, in Santa Clara County they tested around 3300 people for antibodies and found there were 50 - 85 times more people who had had it than previously reported.  Next, the CDC guidelines tell doctors that if they suspect Covid-19 as the cause of death to list it as the official cause of death, even though it may not be (and maybe they didn't eve have it).  How many deaths are being listed as Covid-19 that aren't the cause.  The flu looks like Covid-19 (where have all the flu deaths suddenly gone?).  Did you know when the CDC reports annual flu deaths and media gives you that number that it also includes deaths from pneumonia from any cause?  A lot more die from pneumonia than from the flu.  If you don't believe it, go to this CDC website Link to check the leading causes of death.  They don't combine any other causes, only flu and pneumonia.  Why?  No doubt to promote and sell the flu vaccine.  NOTE:  They just got back results on antibody tests conducted in Los Angeles County and found about 55 times more people have had Covid-19 than originally suspected (or about 420,000 people).  What this would mean is that instead of a 3% death rate it would be a 0.054% death rate or less than the flu.  And then, if you take care of your immune system through diet, exercise, supplements, good sleep, proper weight, low stress, etc., your odds of having a problem decrease dramatically.  It doesn't mean it can't happen, maybe you have a genetic defect or something, just that it probably won't.  On the other hand, if you take drugs (as most who are over 65 do), are overweight, etc., your odds of having problems increase dramatically.

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WITH THE NEW WARNING FROM THE HEAD OF THE CDC!!!!  What is the one thing that can protect you from getting and/or dying from Covid-19 (or the flu and other URI's) ?  Your immune system.  What is the one thing that the media or government will never tell you?  How to optimize (augment, balance) your immune system!!!  In fact, they won't allow anyone else to tell you, either.  They call all natural remedies misinformation, not proven, a hoax, etc.  Things that studies and anecdotal evidence have shown to be effective in augmenting your immunity.  They want nothing to interfere with their drugs and vaccines even if those alternatives could and do save lives and keep your immune system (thus you, too) healthy.  In a previous blog post I have listed what I do and what I avoid on a recent blog post.  It is why I am not worried about Covid-19 and why I haven't had the flu for over 15 years.  I just read today that the head of the CDC (Center for Disease Corruption?) said next Winter things will be worse than they have been now - and he may be right if you listen to the CDC and do nothing to support your immune system.  I know what I'm going to be doing - exactly what I've done for the past 15 years (the point where my fine-tuning paid off).  I can't tell you that what I do will work for you (no, really, I'm not allowed to), but you can check out what I do and research what I take (using DuckDuckGo search engine or buying lots of books).  You absolutely MUST have a good immune system.  More Covid-19 information here with lots of links to scientists, doctors, investigative journalists, etc., to save you time in your research.  You may have lots of extra time right now so it's the perfect time to learn about your health.

Why  did I title this, "The End of the World?"  Because one day they will make untested vaccines mandatory and inject everyone on the planet only to find out it is fatal after some period of time.

And that, as they say, is that.  That is what I am afraid of, as well as shutting down everything and destroying the economy and our way of life, not Covid-19.

Increasing the Odds in Your Favor - the Road to Health (Updated 4/9/2020)

This is what I have done (and continue to do) to go from being sick all the time to being well all the time.  It may seem like a lot (it isn't really when you consider the benefits) but has worked exceedingly well for me (and others who have done it) for a very long time.  It includes diet, exercise, supplements, sleep, avoiding stress, lifestyle, etc.  How do you learn these things?  You do it by reading, research, and education and then applying what you've learned.  There will be some trial and error to fine-tune things until you find what works best for you.

There are no guarantees in life but doing what I have done has worked well for me for the past 25 years for avoiding colds, flu, Covid-19 so far, and many other health problems, so I hope it will do the same for this virus and for you.  Perhaps the best part is that there is no downside (unless you feel going to the doctor less often is a downside).

NOTE:  For Covid-19 information, please click this LINK.  I had included it on this page but there was too much new information so I felt it need a page of its own.

A lot of internet sites are censoring information related to natural therapies similar to what I'm talking about.  They are even calling it fake news and/or misinformation!  They (drug companies, CDC, the media, and all those who profit from drugs) must not want you to know about natural products that augment your immune system, which in turn may help you survive and stay healthy but from which they make no profit.  You would think that with a pandemic they would share anything that might help you.  You would be wrong.  Anything that doesn't make money for them they call misinformation, fake, worthless, or dangerous - pick your word.  All these things that "don't work" have done wonders for me.  It's like what I'm sure some people told the Wright Brothers - it's heavier than air, it can't possibly fly...as the brothers flew away.

This road is in Santa Monica, CA and is lined with fig trees

This one is a back road on the way to Solvang, CA

These bottom two roads were in the hills above Malibu

The top two photos should be where your road to health leads you.  The bottom two might be where you are now.  If it is, now is the time to go to health, and fast.

HERE'S MY STORY, MY ROAD TO HEALTH and HOW I NOW STAY HEALTHY.  Until about the age of 30, if a cold, flu or other upper respiratory infection was going around, I caught it - at least four times a year.  I had had an ulcer, was diagnosed with IBS (aka "nervous stomach") at age 30, had headaches, allergies, bronchitis, dandruff, etc.  When I asked the doctors who diagnosed me with nervous stomach what I could do, they said to stay out of stressful situations.  That was all they suggested.  I knew someone from a beach in Santa Barbara who looked like Mr. Health.  I asked him how he stayed so healthy.  He told me to get the book "Health Secrets of the Hunza" and follow their diet (an all-natural organic whole food diet).  I did, and over a period of 6 months, the nervous stomach faded away (and has never come back) and I reduced my colds/flues to only once a year.  Then over a period of years, I kept fine-tuning things.  And eliminated more variables.  The first change was adding vitamin C.  Then taking it several times a day.  Next, I added more immune-supporting supplements.  As a result, I've had one scratchy throat that lasted a couple of days in the past 12+ years, and no flu for at least the past 15 years.

Natural things don't always work as fast as drugs.  But they have no side effects, either - no one has died from vitamins or healthy organic food (unless it was contaminated) in the past several years.  If anyone had died, it would have been from massive overdoses.  Even drinking too much water can kill you.

There is no way to know if what I have been doing will give you the same results but I have no doubt it will at least improve your health.  It is also meant to support your immune system.  NOTE (VERY IMPORTANT):  If you are on any medications then you need to check with your health care provider to make sure that if you want to try some or all of the supplements I mention below that they will not interfere with any medications you might be taking.

As well as what to take, there are things to avoid:  sugar, fructose (aka HFCS), all chemicals (which is why you should eat only whole organic foods), artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, processed foods, trans-fats, cut way back on Omega-6 oils, etc.  Once you eliminate these things, everything else starts tasting better - at least it has for me.

What foods do I eat - almost all organic whole foods and no processed foods.  For breakfast, I make a smoothie (I use a VitaMix to totally disintegrate the seeds I put in it) and take most of my supplements.  My smoothie consists of the following:  blueberries, grass-fed whey protein, superfood mix (I make my own - see below), mushroom blend, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, apple, banana, strawberries, organic raw egg, and fish oil.

My superfood mix is all organic and has acai, noni, goji, wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella, maca, camu camu, lucuma, moringa, cacao, turmeric, and ashwagandha.  I add this seven days on and then take one day off - herbs should be cycled, never taken every day.  NOTE:  You can buy superfood mixes in most health food stores and online.  It's much less expensive to make/mix yourself.

My supplements consist of N-A-C, R-Lipoic Acid, and probiotics on an empty stomach in the morning, then with my smoothie, a good multivitamin, Vitamin C with quercetin (may help zinc get into cells more efficiently), coenzyme Q 10, MSM, vitamin E, Vitamin K2 MK7 with K1, Vitamin D3 5,000 i.u., ginger, and astaxanthin (Link).  Also calcium and magnesium in the evening.  And other supplements as needed (oil of oregano, Cyclone Cider, etc.).

I've just added some extra zinc, vitamin A, and resveratrol due to the pandemic.  Along with liposomal vitamin C if needed.  I'm hoping the above works as well for coronavirus as it has for colds, URI's, and flu.  So far, it has.

NOTE:  The above is for general health and immune support.  This is in addition to handwashing.  The news and medical establishment won't cover this - if they don't make money from it, you won't hear about it.

A little about my background as related to health:  First was the talk with my friend on the beach.  Then in 1988 I started working in vitamin/health food stores, talked with lots of people about what they were taking, and in 1991 opened my own vitamin store with a couple of partners.  In order to learn more about supplements and nutrition, I got my master's degree in holistic nutrition plus took all the courses for a PhD, but the school closed (the recession) before I was able to write my doctoral thesis.  I learned everything I set out to learn - the rest has been from feedback from customers (I estimated that over the 20 years in retail vitamin sales I talked with well over 30,000 people) on what worked for them and what didn't.  All the while I studied more and tried many different supplements until I found the perfect combination for me, as listed above.  With the internet, I continually learn new health ideas.

In my opinion, based on research from doctors, immunologists, epidemiologists, virologists, microbiologists, anecdotal evidence, etc., as well as my own experiences, supporting your immune system is the single most important thing you can do for your health.  And to lessen the effects of all viruses and bacterial infections should you get one.  

Safe and Effective and Other Lies

The BIG question is why would you believe someone who consistently lies to you?  I mean, if you've caught someone telling a few lies, why would you start suddenly thinking they are telling the truth and that they have your best interests in their heart?  I'm sure by now most people have heard "Safe and Effective" when the CDC (is that the Center for Disease Creation?), drug companies, media, and government are talking about vaccines.  So let's see what the truth is.

Did you know the CDC has patents on 23 vaccines - no wonder they say "safe and effective."

Are vaccines safe?  Well, over $4.2 Billion (Billion with a B) have been paid out for vaccine injuries and deaths by VICP (Vaccine Injury Compensation Program) which most people don't know exists.  And of those who do know, and apply, only about 1 out of 3 people are able to collect.  Most people are also not aware that an injury caused by a vaccine was actually due to a vaccine, especially when several days may pass between the injury and the vaccine.  Many doctors have told them the cause of death was unknown or SIDS.  And if their child became autistic after vaccination, they are told vaccines don't cause autism and are turned down.  The government's leading expert witness on vaccines and autism (Dr. Zimmerman) told the government that in a certain subset of children, vaccines can cause autism - Dr. Andrew Zimmerman was fired shortly after.  And then there is Stanley Plotkin, the leading authority of vaccination.  He wrote the medical textbook on vaccinations.  Under oath, he said he didn't know if vaccines might cause autism, that there were no conclusive studies one way or the other, so they would assume they don't cause autism, otherwise, people might not get vaccinated.  In other words, it was for the greater good to say they don't.  And then there is VAERS where you will find hundreds of thousands of adverse events after vaccination and where less than 1% of injuries ever gets reported according to the Harvard Pilgrim Study.  They estimated that 1 out of 40 are injured.  Does the above sound like vaccines are safe?  The above is all verifiable, you just have to do the research.  So they are lying about that - vaccines are anything but safe.  You would be safer standing in an open field during a lightning storm.

How about effective?  If you do the research you'll find that 38% of the Disneyland measles cases happened in those who had been vaccinated for measles.  In Texas, they just closed a school due to an outbreak of Pertussis (whooping cough).  Their vaccination rate was 100%.  Every year they claim the flu vaccine is somewhere between 17% - 50% effective.  In Canada one year they claimed zero percent effective.  Mumps outbreaks have happened on college campuses that require 100% vaccination rates.  Guess what, they've lied to you about this, too.  Some studies have shown that even if the flu vaccine works for you, it makes you more susceptible (about 4X more) to other upper respiratory infections which may be worse than the flu...such as CORONAVIRUS.

Every day, in states across the country, they are lying in order to pass legislation to force vaccinations on all your children knowing a certain percentage of these children will be killed or injured by the vaccination which may not even protect your child.  And they want to do the same for adults.

Still wondering about vaccinations?  As the number of vaccines has increased, check the numbers for autism (from 1 in 10,000 to now 1 in 40) and the numbers for chronic health conditions (from around 15% of children to now around 54%).  This is in a country that spends more on healthcare (sickcare, really) than any other nation by far.  And in developed nations has the highest rates of infant mortality, worst health, and one of the shortest lifespans (which started going down a few years ago).

Are we no smarter than lemmings following each other off the vaccination cliff?  We have, with the internet, access to vast amounts of information, and yet most people listen to the lies of the media, the CDC, big pharma, etc., all while the truth is easily available.  What happened to common sense?  Can you not see that adults after the age of 28, when most or all vaccines have worn off, are not suddenly dying from all those terrible diseases.  From the way they talk, everyone should know someone who knows someone who has died from measles, mumps, chickenpox, whooping cough, etc.  Where are they hiding all those bodies (more people get killed by lightning!).  But you probably know someone who knows someone who has autism, one or several chronic health conditions, ADHD, allergies, diabetes, childhood cancer and on and on.  They call this normal - it's not.  As vaccines have increased, all those health problems have followed.  There may be other contributing factors but it doesn't take rocket science to figure out that injecting mercury, aluminum, monkey kidney cells, contaminants, etc., might just have a negative impact on you.  We have a brain - we should be using it before it is destroyed by these vaccines.  After all, we are not lemmings...yet.

Some catchwords/phrases/vocabulary pro-vax people use:
1.  Debunked - anytime they don't want you to believe cause and effect, as in vaccines cause or contribute to autism.  Sorry, been debunked.  Sorry, but it hasn't been debunked.
2.  Safe and Effective - see the beginning of this article.
3.  Coincidence - another favorite.  Whatever health problems you suffer after vaccination is just a coincidence, it was about to happen anyway.
4.  SIDS, SUIDS, or Cause Unknown - Used after the vaccination ends your life.
5.  Discredited - First they'll discredit those who tell the truth, then they will say they've been discredited - like they did to Dr. Andy Wakefield.
6.  Show us the proof/study - even when it's easy to find.  Probably just to waste your time.
7.  Anti-vaxx - even though very few people are actually anti-vaxx.  They are pro-choice, pro-freedom, pro-informed consent, pro-safe vaccine, pro-Nuremberg Code, etc.  Pro-vaxx people want everyone vaccinated, so it makes sense that if someone was anti-vaxx they would want no one vaccinated - I don't know anyone who cares if you get vaccinated.

There is so much more information than I can list here - so to be continued for my next post.
