They also fired teachers and the list goes on. It is time to stand up and fight!!
Then those nurses, policemen and whoever needs to get the vaccine as required to serve the public. It makes sense that all Congress have gotten the vaccine, but some refuse to tell their constituents the truth and continue to spread lies.
Firing health care workers after they’ve spent over 20 months of working with sick patients, trying to save lives while exposing themselves to COVID, is insane! The Dems who are high on control have lost their minds!
And hide the cure from everyone knowingly murdering people. If you know someone is going to die, why on god’s earth would you not simply give them Ivermectin??? I had a head nurse lie to me today from @texashealth said no research on it . I feel like we are going to see the end of big pharma and the hospitals when this is all over. It’s sick when you can’t trust a hospital to put your health above statistics and payoffs. It is a planned action. If nurses and police quit they can call in the military to take their place then they will control us all. They had the National Guard leave their civilian job as doctors and nurses to replace healthy Doctors and Nurses. That’s ridiculous, it mathematically changes nothing.
Just when he thinks liberals couldn’t possibly make any worse decisions than they have the last 8 months, they keep making more! Right, that’s what I said to aren’t we supposed to be in a pandemic?
I think it’s time to change the word Democrat to Commiecrat…

They want the national guard to take over hospitals so they can start federalizing medicine. Transportation and policing is next. The entire plan is to make the problems as bad as they can to convince people they have to accept their solutions. They know what they’re doing. Every time the situation starts getting better, they have to do something to keep the fire burning. It’s the only way their plan works… Fewer health care workers, more depopulation. They want a reason to bring in the military. Then it will be using the military to “help” with the police shortage. How do you think the malpractice insurance companies will feel about replacing Doctors/Nurses with National Guardsmen??? They want the system to fail so they can implement phase two of “Obama Care” aka socialized medicine.Doesn’t make good sense to me… Help wanted signs everywhere, significant sign-on bonuses offered, Drs needed, medics needed, firefighters and police officers needed, airline workers in need, but yet we’re firing THESE folks because they exercised their right to say NO!
They are perfectly following their plan to destroy America. The idea is to have people they can control under them, not people who already discovered that they have evil plans. The real reason they’re firing nurses is because they won’t comply with big governments narrative of the unvaccinated dying and could possibly expose the entire most fraudulent vaccine hoax of all time
Crazy isn’t it.. firing those with natural immunity yet vaccinated have temporary “protection” . Makes more sense when you realize which one of those will be the reoccurring Pfizer customer $ . Politicians in free states should make it their mission to find the fired jobs in their states. We must take care of our own refugees. Natural immunity is free
Democrats are so bad at government they fire nurses during a plandemic.
They are not getting vaccinated because they know the truth. They have seen it all. They are in self preservation …You do realize these are the people who were already exposed while working the front lines? You do realize how moronic you’re being? Media silent about it-tried to develop mRNA vax for 30 yrs-but all fail long term safety studies. Those safeguards were lifted just for Covid vax AND Pharma relieved of all liability for death & injuries. More have already died of this vax than all vax combined for 30 yrs. Understand-same long term problems that made it fail FDA safety requirements for decades STILL EXIST. Experimental vax. For virus 99.98% under 65 will survive w better immunity than vax gives. No one responsible for any damage you may suffer means no one should be forced. You assume all risk. But also means EVERYONE has right to know truth abt it 1st. Healthcare workers do. Decision by significant % should be a red flag maybe they know something you don’t & look closer.
CDC: as of 9/17/21 Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System reported 726,000+ adverse events-including 15,386 deaths, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations. Est <10% of adverse events reported. Just the tip of why no mRNA vax passed FDA requirements for 30 yrs-lifted for Covid vax.
Changed in 2 months. What will they know in 1 year. 5 years? 10, 30 etc.
We’re guinea pigs for an experimental vax though they try to downplay and hide that from us. We will be the ones to personally find out why no mRNA vaccine was ever approved for use in humans in 30 yrs of trying-until the safeguard requirements designed to protect us-were removed. 70,000 health care workers in New York alone, worked through the whole Covid outbreak last year, were considered heroes, and are now willing to give up their careers rather than take the shot; aren’t you a bit curious as to why?…
So the vaccinated can still spread and still get sick from Covid, tell us again how this vax is supposed to be the end all! Silly sheep! Remember these are the freedom of choice for people who CHOOSE not to get vaccinated. Govt. has a responsibility to take all steps to protect their citizens and it is legal to require vaccines. They aren’t being fired; they have chosen not to meet the terms of employment. That would be true if it wasn’t all part of the plan. Look at NY firing the nurses to then bring in the military, Hegelian dialect.
No,.some misguided and irresponsible nurses are refusing to comply with the regulations related to the safe performance of their job. Firing nurses isn’t the answer. Y’all thought scare tactics would work and now it backfired. Hope you don’t need elective surgery anytime soon. Short staffed due to “Covid” You know,..like when you entered the military and were required to take multiple vaccines?
Yup, the people that were taking care of the sick before the vaccines … who’ve been exposed to the virus numerous times , and most likely have immunities to the virus … makes perfect sense to fire them all … or you might be an idiot … which is it ? I’ll choose an idiot …There was no vaccine when this all started and they stayed with it and did their job. Why force it on them when they can still get Covid?
They are humans and they have a power of free will. Let people be people about the pirate juice and make their own decisions. Then they fire the nurses and doctors, adding to the workload of the remaining staff causing patient care to suffer. Last step is to blame the people that they fired for the whole mess that they created, completing the cycle of
Libtarded victim-status desire.
I’ve been in Healthcare for 24 yrs and always got vaccinated for things but this is EXPERiMENTAL. Healthcare workers don’t want to be experimented on. If you can get Covid after Vax it means it doesn’t work!! But feel free to keep taking those boosters. sheri@spiccolo216
Call it what it is. An experimental death jab. Have you ever thought why they don’t want to take it…..they see the side effects first hand in the hospitals where they work.
Exactly how is being vaxxed related to a nurse safely doing the job? I’ve asked this of several today. So far no one has had an answer. They would be a primary hub of contagion if they were to become infected. They come into contact with many people, many unhealthy people with compromised immunity. It is malpractice to allow them to do their job without proof of immunity in some form.
Your answer is very inaccurate. The vax does not prevent them from getting it or spreading it, it does not provide 100% immunity, best it helps the vaxxed person have a milder case. So there’s no more guarantee of protection for being exposed to someone vaxxed vs unvaxxed. To take it even further all nurses consistently practice infection control with all patients to protect the patient & themselves, including wearing masks. There are multiple serious communicable diseases & anyone including nurses you come in contact with could have one of those.
If your friend told you to jump off a bridge would you do it? These are experimental vaccines. People aren’t anti-vax. They are wanting to see what happens after people take it. There is nothing wrong with being cautious. mRNA is not experimental. It’s been around since the early 90’s,.it just so happened to have an application that worked for Covid. There are multiple diseases that are using the same approach,.. cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and AIDS.
So how many people can you go about discrediting using your inflammatory language against your fellow citizens in these Heroes that have already worked through over two years of pandemic?
How about the creator of email? His election results. Time to shame him now? How does the vax save those around the ones that took it? Please explain. Because it doesn’t.
According to the CDC, 60% of the U.S. is currently vaxxed, yet daily deaths from COVID are as high as in late Feb when fewer than 10% of Americans were vaxxed. What does that tell you?
That’s just a narrative the left is trying to push and gullible liberals like you believe it.
Pfizer is (Chinese Owned) exempt from liability but won’t let us know what’s in their mandatory cocktail. I’m not anti vax but this situation is making me consider it. Comply it’s their body The drug is out a year you have no idea what’s in it nor do they! Why is it a woman has a right to an abortion because it’s her body horse choice but you don’t have a right to do that with the vaccine? No thank you.Dow is up about 4000 points since he became President.
Sounds like the economy is doing amazing. That’s how we measure the economy, right?
Joe Biden Is Not A Good Person Though (townhall.com) When somebody says that they are going to do or not do something but then the situation or circumstances change, that’s not a lie. Allow me to help guide you. Viruses mutate. Viruses don’t do what we want them to do. They evolve. As our understanding of this NEW VIRUS AND ITS VARIANTS EVOLVE, SO MUST WE.
So by your logic, if nearly 700,000 COVID deaths is no biggie, then neither was 9/11 because, hey, less than 3,000 people died so who cares? I’m just curious — how many people have to die before you think someone should do something about it? How many is enough?
If you are paying more at the gas pump, he has raised your taxes, unnecessarily. Bidens new driving tax, if passed, will require you to pay $0.08/mile. *Avg. American drives around 14,000 miles per year (don’t get me started). If you are paying more at the supermarket, he has raised your taxes, intentionally (forcing supply chain reductions).
This tax is called a Hidden Tax.
When did he promise any of these things? Do you take every statement anyone makes as a promise? Or is Biden not the one lying regarding each of these supposed ‘promises’? His “plan” to stop CoVid included adults being responsible and getting vaccinated. It can only work if people stop throwing adolescent temper tantrum’s – Thus, the adults must treat the kids like babies w/mandates. It’s called PUBLIC SAFETY!
Let’s see. He had no way of knowing that there would be millions of recalcitrant belligerent, science-deniers who put other peoples’ lives at risk. His plan was to get nearly everyone vaccinated. He thought he could trust law enforcement to not be racist, violent, opportunists. Luckily, the worst of the Trumpie Troopers will be leaving their jobs because they won’t be vaccinated. We can replace them with new cops who know going in that they will be expected to protect and serve. And he could have jump started the economy,Biden couldn’t have anticipated Red State morons wouldn’t get vaccinated “to own the Libs”. They’ve chosen instead to die in droves. Treating them like adults was a mistake so now he’s had to treat them like children. And FYI the economy under Biden is stronger than under Trump.
Essentially what you just said was, “he promised no vaxx mandate, he had to enact one because we wouldn’t follow his plan to stop covid, and he said he would jumpstart the economy, because you wouldn’t follow my plan to stop covid”. Stop blaming him for something you did! We had a glut of nazis in Congress who decided not to block him in order to, in their words, “kill the Biden presidency in the crib”. Oh, yes. And the Nazis also urged people not to get vaccinated, even though a lot of them had themselves.
Any Questions????Biden can’t stop Covid or build the economy as long as people refuse the vaccine and wear a mask. The responsibility for what is happening to us is the virus and the people who refuse. This country or the world can move ahead as long as we can’t move the virus behind us. He had a plan to curtail covid and he didn’t want to mandate vaccines, unfortunately a bunch of rich vaccinated folks engaged in such a sustained campaign to have ordinary folks oppose the vaccine that he had to correct course. Also, I wouldn’t be boasting about having anything to do with an insurrectionist. He will be held to account. Consequences are coming… Maybe, stop being a fascist, do what’s best for the US and learn that lies are not normal, except in the terrorist organization known as the GQP You lie There is no mandate. It’s, get vaccinated OR be tested. His plan to stop covid is working, except amongst the ignorant repubicans, so you lied again. The economy is doing so much better. Of course, ignorant red counties are behind BLUE counties because red politics harm…Right!!!
He wouldn’t ban fracking. He wouldn’t halt the pipeline. People got “strapped” at the border. This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. I will bring us together. Pay your fair share Trillionaires Hunter’s laptop was russian disinformation The infrastructure bill will cost $0 …….
The Dow is up 4000 points since he took office. Unemployment is down. Covid is only rampant in RED states because you idiots refuse to get vaccinated. That’s on you, not him.
The Great Reset is just another word for global Communism. I will not eat bat. – I will not live in a pod. – I will not drive electric. – I will own my things. – I will be free. – I will be happy.
I’ve got a feeling the government is lying about vaccination rates and it’s way less than what they are reporting. They are becoming more and more extreme in their threats and the only reason that would make sense, is if the majority of people were not complying.
Our founding fathers felt back in 1776 that a Constitutional Republic was Ever Lasting until the Chinese Yuan took over in the United States. The Constitution laid the Foundation for their understanding of Common Sense|Human Nature of which we lack in todays USA. There are more ways of destroying a democracy than sending troops into the streets, storming the radio stations, and arresting the politicians, as Adolf Hitler discovered after the failure of his beer-hall putsch in 1923. Ten years later, on January 30, 1933, when he was appointed head of the German government, Hitler was the leader of the country’s largest political party, the National Socialists. Even five years earlier, in May of 1928, he’d been a political nobody, with the Nazis gaining less than 3 percent of the vote in national elections. But in the elections held in July 1932, they won 37 percent of the vote—and six months later, Hitler was in power. He seemed to have come from nowhere.
As the German historian and journalist Volker Ullrich shows in the first part of his highly readable and well-researched new biography, Hitler: Ascent, even if Hitler wasn’t directly elected to power, his appointment as Reich chancellor was legal and constitutional, the result of political intrigue surrounding Germany’s aging conservative president, Paul von Hindenburg. Many people in Germany thought that Hitler would be a normal head of government. Some, like the conservative politician Franz von Papen and the leaders of the German National People’s Party, thought that they’d be able to control him, because they were more experienced and formed the majority in the coalition government that Hitler headed. Others thought that the responsibilities of office would tame and steer him in a more conventional direction. They were all wrong. Hitler won mass support between 1928 and 1930 because a major economic crisis had driven Germany into a deep depression: Banks crashed, businesses folded, and millions lost their jobs. Hitler offered voters a vision of a better future, one he contrasted with the policies of the parties that had plunged the country into crisis in the first place. The poorest people in Germany voted for his opponents, notably the Communist Party and the moderate left-wing Social Democrats, but the lower-middle classes, the bourgeoisie, the unorganized workers, the rural masses, and the older traditionalists—Protestants and evangelicals who wanted a moral restoration of the nation—switched their votes from the mainstream centrist and right-wing parties (save for the Catholic Center Party) and gave them to Hitler instead.
Whereas other politicians seemed to dither or to act as mere administrators, Hitler projected purpose and dynamism. They remained trapped within the existing conventions of political life; he proved a master at denouncing those conventions and manipulating the media. The first politician to tour the country by air during an election campaign, Hitler issued an endless stream of slogans to win potential supporters over. He would make Germany great again. He would give Germans work once more. He would put Germany first. He would revive the nation’s rusting industries, laid to waste by the economic depression. He would crush the alien ideologies—socialism, liberalism, communism—that were undermining the nation’s will to survive and destroying its core values.
Ullrich quotes a police report on one of Hitler’s early speeches, in which he “used vulgar comparisons” and “did not shy away from the cheapest allusions.” Hitler’s language was never measured or careful, but “like something merely expulsed.” Yet, revising earlier opinions, Ullrich shows how carefully Hitler prepared his speeches. Seemingly spontaneous, they were in fact calculated. Full of base allegations and vile stereotypes, they were precisely designed to gain maximum attention from the media and maximum reaction from the crowds he addressed. When he declared that fines were of no use against those he called Jewish criminals, his listeners interrupted him with chants of “Beatings! Hangings!” Aided by his talented propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, Hitler not only flaunted his vulgarity and exploited tribal hatreds; he also lied and lied his way to success. The Jews, he argued, had stabbed the German Army in the back in 1918; the politicians of the other parties, he insisted, were hopelessly venal and corrupt and should be put in jail; the Nazi thugs who were condemned to death in 1932 for the “Potempa murders” were victims of a “monstrous blood-verdict”; liberal newspapers that criticized Hitler were, as Goebbels put it, the “Jewish lying press.”
Few took Hitler seriously or thought that he would actually put his threats against the country’s tiny Jewish minority, his rants against feminists, left-wing politicians, homosexuals, pacifists, and liberal newspaper editors, into effect. Fewer still believed his vow to quit the League of Nations, the forerunner of the United Nations. But within a few months of taking office, he did all of these things—and much more. Once in power, the Nazi regime was run exclusively by men: Only heterosexual white males, the Nazis thought, had the required detachment and lack of emotional connection to the issues at hand to make the right calls. Nazi propaganda mocked disabled people; within a few years, they were being sterilized and then exterminated. Hitler railed against the roving bands of criminals who were destroying law and order and called for the return of the death penalty, effectively abrogated under the Weimar Republic. Within a short space of time, the executions began again, reaching a total of more than 16,000 during his 12 years in power, while Germany’s prison population rocketed from 50,000 in 1930 to more than 100,000 on the eve of the war.
Feminist associations were all closed down, the law forbidding homosexual acts between men was drastically sharpened, vagrants were rounded up and imprisoned, illegal Polish immigrants were deported. Germany pulled out of international organizations and tore up treaties with cynical abandon, dismantling or emasculating the structures of international cooperation erected after World War I and freeing the way for rogue states like Italy and Japan to launch their own wars of conquest and aggression. Ullrich tellingly quotes the Nazis’ triumphant declaration of “our departure from the community of nations,” buttressed by Hitler’s assurance that he would “rather die” than sign anything that was not in the interests of the German people. Hitler followed up on this commitment as well, though of course this proved not to be in the interests of the German people in the end.
The story of German politics between January 30 and July 30, 1933, is essentially the story of how the Nazis shut down the country’s democratic institutions, destroyed the freedom of its press and media, and created a one-party state in which opposition was punishable by imprisonment, banishment, or even death. It was Hitler’s “first hundred days,” but the radical changes went on for longer and seemed terrifyingly easy to perpetrate. There was nothing underhanded about these changes: Nazi leaders gave clear warnings about what they planned to do. But too few people saw them as a threat before they came to power. As Goebbels said on February 10, 1933: “If the Jewish press still thinks it can intimidate the National Socialist movement with veiled threats, if they think they can evade our emergency decrees, they should watch out! One day our patience will run out, and then the Jews will find their impudent, lying traps plugged.” Ullrich shows how newspapers were weakened by the economic pressure applied by the Nazi government. Editors were forced out, reporters were disciplined or imprisoned, and an increasing number of newspapers were shut down altogether, leaving only a captive press that confined itself to parroting the “news” issued by the government in Goebbels’s daily morning press briefings. All that the few remaining decent journalists could do was to write in “Aesopian” language, or in fables involving figures from the past like Genghis Khan; their only hope was that readers might get the message.
With the disappearance of a free, critical media and the subordination of law-enforcement agencies, the path was open for a massive expansion of political corruption at every level of the regime. Ullrich makes good use of recent research to underline the fact that the Nazi regime was, among other things, a kleptocracy; it was dependent on patronage and clientelism all the way down the line, since the formal procedures for state appointments and the rules of conduct for the occupants of high office were scrapped or bypassed in favor of a personal style of rule. The confiscation or forcible takeover of Jewish businesses lined the pockets of the party’s leaders; they also benefited from seizing the property of oppositional institutions like the socialist-oriented trade unions, the Social Democratic Party, and many others. Goebbels ensured that he was paid a vastly inflated salary as editor of a Nazi Party magazine, while Hermann Göring was given enough money by people seeking his patronage that he was able to buy and furnish five hunting lodges and to operate a private train. Hitler ostentatiously refused a salary as head of the German government, but he made sure that he earned royalties from the display of his face on postage stamps, which brought him enormous wealth. Well before the war, the Nazi leaders had become millionaires.
How did all this happen—and with so little opposition? What caused German democracy to react so toothlessly and to collapse so swiftly? Historians used to argue that German democracy had shallow roots, having come into existence with the Weimar Republic after the end of the First World War, and thus lacked any kind of tradition in a country whose basic political culture had always been authoritarian. But as the historian Margaret Lavinia Anderson and many others have shown, Germans were in fact already practicing democracy under the kaiser: Political parties were strong and becoming stronger; legislative institutions were gaining more power and influence; and a lively range of newspapers and magazines fostered vigorous public debate, despite the feeble attempts of the government to censor them.
By the time Hitler began his rise to power, the German state, reconstituted after the war, possessed robust constitutional and legal structures that were designed to frustrate any attempt to undermine or circumvent democracy. Judges were independent, as were police and prosecutors. In fact, early in 1933, the provincial Nazi government in Prussia—the state that covered over half of Germany’s territory and included more than half of its population—was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. But the Nazis simply ignored this ruling, as they did the thousands of prosecutions brought by local and regional authorities against the storm troopers and others who had beaten up, imprisoned, and, in many hundreds of cases, murdered the party’s opponents. The courts could safely be ignored, not least because Hitler’s government was able to govern by executive order after the burning down of the Reichstag, the national parliament building, on February 27–28, 1933. A lone, deranged Dutch anarchist was found guilty of setting the fire, but the Nazis portrayed it as a terrorist act by the Communist Party in a nationwide conspiracy to take power. The government declared a state of emergency, and Hitler exploited a provision in the Weimar Republic’s Constitution that permitted him to rule by decree in such times. Hitler would repeatedly renew the Reichstag Fire Decree all the way up to the end of his rule in 1945.
The Nazi seizure of power was carried out step-by-step through the first half of 1933, each step disguised as a seemingly legal act. On April 7, 1933, the government issued an executive order dismissing Jews and the regime’s political opponents from state employment. Many similar orders followed, culminating in a law to establish a one-party state and then, in the late summer of ’34, a law to declare Hitler dictator for life. It was possible to do these things because Hitler had pushed a bill through the national legislature on March 23, 1933, that effectively disabled the parliament and devolved its power to make laws onto his cabinet. He was able to secure the necessary two-thirds majority by arresting Communist deputies who would have voted against it and by persuading the large Catholic Center Party to vote for it through a mix of promises and threats. Issued by the government, these laws had the appearance of legitimacy, and almost no one stood up against them as they were put into effect. Even after the legal profession and the judiciary had been purged of the Nazis’ opponents, there were still some judges who retained a modicum of honesty and independence. Hitler was furious when the Supreme Court, trying the alleged perpetrators of the Reichstag fire, acquitted all but one due to a lack of evidence. He rapidly set up a parallel apparatus of “Special Courts” crowned by a national “People’s Court,” all of them packed with committed Nazis. But the vast majority of the legal profession and law-enforcement agencies went along with the party anyway, even as the Nazis passed a raft of new treason laws and transferred the task of enforcing political conformity from the storm troopers and concentration camps to the police, the courts, and the prisons.
There were plenty of Germans who disapproved of these measures: Hitler didn’t attain supreme power on a wave of popular acclamation. On the contrary, in the last free elections of the Weimar Republic, the left-wing parties—the Communists and Social Democrats—won more votes and gained more seats in the national parliament than the Nazis did. But they were fatally divided, spending at least as much time fighting each other as they did trying to stop Hitler from establishing a dictatorship. Their rhetoric was feeble in comparison with his, their supporters less fanatical, their electoral propaganda less powerful and less sophisticated. The concentration of political and legislative power in the cabinet didn’t last long. Beneath the surface appearance of normality, the cabinet was being marginalized as Hitler appointed his own cronies and disciples to new positions or pushed out his conservative coalition partners. The men who ruled Germany did not do so because they were constitutionally acting government ministers but because they were Hitler’s cronies: Goebbels, Göring, Heinrich Himmler, Robert Ley, and a handful of others.
Before long, the police and the Gestapo had been merged into Himmler’s SS, while regional Nazi Party leaders—Gauleiters—were bypassing the formally appointed state governors and administrators at every level. Senior civil servants were fired if they made any difficulties or were effectively supplanted by parallel appointees of the regime even if they conformed, as the vast majority of them did. German bureaucracy was famously punctilious, but under Hitler decisions were increasingly made on the hoof, by verbal order, leaving behind no paper trail. Hitler made sure that the armed forces were on his side by giving them massive increases in funding and a huge new armaments program. In 1935, he introduced a draft that forced millions of young men into military service. His program for making Germany great again included a new aggressive attitude in international affairs. He sent the army into the Rhineland, occupied Austria, and annexed Czechoslovakia, before invading Poland and launching a European and, eventually, a world war. All along, the Soviet Union was targeted as Germany’s main external foe, even if, for tactical reasons, Hitler concluded a temporary nonaggression pact with Stalin in August 1939.
Hitler’s seizure and remaking of the state was buttressed by a wholesale reorganization of the education system and an effort to redefine German culture. Many, if not most, of Germany’s leading scholars and scientists were forced to leave the country, either because they were Jewish and so regarded as non-Christian foreigners, or because they were opponents of the regime (or, indeed, as in the case of Albert Einstein, both). The intellectual quality of German universities, which had led the world in research before 1933, plummeted. It has never fully recovered. Hitler didn’t care. For him, education was a matter of practical instruction; it had nothing to do with the transmission of pure knowledge, let alone the traditional humanistic values that had underpinned the German educational system since the early 19th century. Before Hitler took over, a fifth of all university students were enrolled in the humanities; by the eve of the war, that portion had been cut in half, in a student body that was itself shrinking rapidly, from a total of 104,000 in all universities in 1931 to just under 41,000 in 1939. By this time, fully half of all students were taking degree courses in medicine, its importance boosted by the Nazis’ focus on racial research and eugenics.
The regime’s assault on culture extended to its policy toward the arts, which were “coordinated” by Goebbels in a Reich Chamber of Culture that ended funding for modern painting, sculpture, and music, and banned allegedly subversive artists from working. Almost all of Germany’s major artists and writers left the country, turning it into a cultural desert. The mostly second-rate artists and writers who stayed behind had little choice but to propagate “German” art and culture, and their work was often unimaginative, conformist, and dull. Theater and cinema put out trivial productions aimed at a broad popular audience: costume dramas, musicals, and other forms of light entertainment. Outright propaganda films were relatively rare, though these are the ones remembered today. There were no game shows or reality TV in Hitler’s day, but if there had been, Goebbels would have loved them. The main objective of Nazi education and culture was not, however, to distract people from issues of political importance; it was to instill a new sense of patriotism. Pupils were made to salute the flag before school every morning, and the religious assembly that opened the school day was turned into a festival of obeisance to Hitler. All children had to join the Hitler Youth or its female equivalent, the League of German Girls, where they sang patriotic songs and performed military exercises and drills. History lessons were turned into a celebration of German heroes from the past. Geography was Nazified in order to justify German claims on other parts of Europe. Math students were required to do calculations based on the number of “racially inferior” people in the population.
Such exercises pointed to the fact that the regime constantly targeted minorities as a way of mobilizing popular approval and support. The Nazis may have dominated state power, but this wasn’t the kind of dictatorship that depended solely on repression, important though it was. Like many other modern dictatorships, it wanted to appear popular, not least because this strengthened its hand in negotiations with foreign powers. Regular elections and referendums were put to the voters, and they routinely delivered majorities of 99 percent in favor of whatever the government proposed—results achieved by depriving known or potential opponents of the vote, by manipulating the electoral process, and by directly or indirectly intimidating the great mass of people into supporting Hitler’s government. A key part of the process was the vilification of political opponents. The Communist Party, a mass movement that had gained 100 seats in the national legislature in the last free elections of the Weimar Republic, was suppressed, accused of preparing a violent revolution. The moderately progressive Social Democrats, who enjoyed even more widespread support, were damned as “November traitors,” a reference to the November revolution in 1918 that overthrew the Kaiser’s regime. They were also maligned by the Nazis for having signed the ignominious peace treaty with the Allies at Versailles.
Nazi media and officialdom heaped abuse on democrats and harassed them at every turn. These opponents of the regime bore the brunt of the new treason laws from 1933 onward; in 1935 alone, there were some 23,000 political prisoners in Germany’s jails, and more than 5,000 people were being tried and condemned for treason every year. In speech after speech, Hitler and the other leading Nazis attacked the Jews, who, they claimed, had orchestrated the efforts by these political parties to destroy Germany’s military prowess and cultural purity. Hitler was a conspiracy theorist without equal: Influenced by a bizarre forgery known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, he believed—perhaps as early as 1919, when he incorporated these views into his first-ever recorded speech—that there was a worldwide conspiracy of Jews, directed by a secret cabal probably located somewhere in Paris, to overthrow the German race, annihilate its culture, and render it impotent before its enemies. All Jews everywhere, no matter their political views, were part of this vast plot.
When the Nazis came to power, Jews made up less than 1 percent of the population in Germany, but the Nazis regarded them as a vast, powerful, and deadly threat. Hitler was convinced that without a proper sense of urgency, Germany would be eventually defeated, dominated, and very likely destroyed by them. This is what made anti-Semitism different from the other kinds of racial and religious prejudice held by the Nazis. The disabled and the mentally ill, “Gypsies,” homosexuals, “habitual criminals,” Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the other minorities targeted by Hitler were seen as obstacles to Germany’s renewal; they weakened the race and undermined its will to assert itself in the world. But the Jews were different: They were the “world-enemy,” as Goebbels called them, the Weltfeind. Far more than an obstacle, they were an existential threat. This is why Hitler deprived them of German citizenship, robbed them of their livelihoods, stripped them of their possessions, forced as many of them as he could to emigrate by making their existence in Germany a living hell, and—when he had conquered areas of Europe that, unlike Germany, had very large Jewish populations—eventually murdered some 6 million of them.
Ordinary Germans were not wholly won over by such acts of persecution and destruction; only a minority applauded them. But the great mass of Germans did nothing to stop any of this. Civil courage was in short supply in a country cowed into submission by a ruthless dictatorship that knew no limits in its willingness to apply violence to those it hated. This included foreign states as well as domestic minorities. From the outset, Hitler intended a war of European conquest and, most likely, had that been victorious, world hegemony as well (as demonstrated by his megalomaniacal building plans for “Germania,” a renamed Berlin, as world capital and intended permanent site of the Olympic Games after the war had been won). With the support of the country’s military-industrial complex—grudging and cautious at first; then, after the defeat of Poland in 1939 and France in 1940, fulsome and enthusiastic—Hitler threw caution to the wind and launched a war that could only end in Germany’s defeat. His indifference to human suffering, and his willingness to devise and use weapons of mass destruction, knew no bounds. It is fortunate that he never got his hands on nuclear weapons, though they were in development in Germany’s laboratories well before the end of the war.
Violence indeed was at the heart of the Nazi enterprise. Every democracy that perishes dies in a different way, because every democracy is situated in specific historical circumstances. In Hitler’s case, as Ullrich shows, the essential context was supplied by World War I, an unprecedented conflict in which millions were killed and those who survived were plunged into a new, militarized, and brutalized world where violence in the service of politics became the norm. Every political party in Weimar Germany had its paramilitary wing, ready to beat up and even kill its opponents—even the Social Democrats, whose Reichsbanner was committed to the defense of democracy. Yet with the unbridled brutality of the storm troopers, the Nazis outdid them all. The election campaign of June–July 1932 saw 105 people killed. This gave the Nazi seizure of power much of its historical distinctiveness and helped acclimatize the German people to the massive violence that underpinned it, with up to 200,000 opponents of the regime thrown into concentration camps in 1933 alone and more than 600 killed, even according to official figures.
For many, the legacy of World War I has long since faded away, and the destruction of Germany’s cities, the mass murder of Europe’s Jews, and the vast slaughter of World War II have acted as a sharp antidote to cultures of political violence and the militarization of party politics. Anyone who wants to use violence against his opponents to establish a dictatorship today would need to employ a different kind of force. Rather than sending armed and uniformed squads onto the streets, he or she would need to rely on harassment and persecution carried out by a captive media, and eventually, if opposition persisted, on the state power of the military and the law-enforcement agencies to crush it. Above all else, Hitler was a media figure who gained popularity and controlled his country through speeches and publicity. Far from being a consistent and undeviatingly purposeful politician, he was temperamental, changeable, insecure, allergic to criticism, and often indecisive and uncertain in a crisis. There were many occasions in which he nearly came to grief, most notably as a result of his unconventional private life—such as when the suicide of his half-niece Geli Raubal, with whom he’d been having an affair in the early 1930s, threatened to destroy his reputation with the respectable classes of German society. Ullrich convincingly links Hitler’s personality traits with political events. At key moments, such as the crisis of 1934, when the army threatened to move against him if he didn’t curb his violent, raucous supporters in the Brownshirt movement, Hitler hesitated and dithered before finally making up his mind. Ullrich corrects many misapprehensions and disposes of many myths. And he paints in the broader political context with great skill and the knowledge gathered over a lifetime of studying German history of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Over the years, there have been many biographies of Hitler, most of which have, in some way, underestimated his talents or underplayed his personal life. Alan Bullock’s Hitler: A Study in Tyranny (1952) was the first serious life of the German dictator, but it depicted him primarily as an opportunist with no consistent ideas or purposes except the gaining and wielding of power. In Joachim C. Fest’s Hitler (1973), he’s an ignorant, unintelligent, vulgar petty bourgeois whose rise to power owed much to his ability to articulate the resentments of his class at the coming of the modern world. For Ian Kershaw, whose two-volume biography currently holds the field, Hitler was almost an unperson, a man without a meaningful personality or private life, the creature of larger forces in German history. Others have seen him as a psychopath, a warped personality, a man who didn’t conform to the normal standards of human behavior. None of these pictures really grasps the man, however. Volker Ullrich provides a more complex and, perhaps for this reason, an even more troubling account of Hitler’s ascent to power. His Hitler is one whose personal life provides a key to understanding how he achieved and used supreme power, and his biography—by providing the wider context of German society and politics in which Hitler ascended—also attempts to explain why so many Germans were willing to allow him to do so. Everyone concerned about democracy should read this book. For the Nazis were “a warning from history” (to quote the title of the still-unsurpassed 1997 television history by Ian Kershaw and Lawrence Rees, now being rebroadcast in the United Kingdom as a response to current political events), and we would all do well to heed it.
I Think they’re trying to create the “everyone is doing it” illusion to discourage hold out.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the American people have been told to “follow the science.” Yet for a year and a half, they’ve heard contradicting messages from self-appointed prophets of “the science” like Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We learned that politicians who claimed their decisions were science-driven often ignored scientific findings that didn’t fit certain political narratives. We discovered that scientists are fallible human beings, and some would let personal interests and political views cloud their judgment.
Is science itself one of the victims of the COVID-19 pandemic? I asked Dr. Scott Atlas at the 13th annual Freedom Conference hosted by the Steamboat Institute, a Colorado-based nonprofit organization. Formerly a professor and chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center, Atlas is now a senior fellow in health policy at the Hoover Institution. Atlas has been under constant attacks by the left and the corporate media since he served as a special adviser to former President Trump and a member of the White House coronavirus task force from August to November 2020. The New York Times and the Washington Post ran hit pieces on Atlas, questioning his qualifications despite his distinguished career and scholarship. Google-owned YouTube also removed a 50-minute video of Atlas’s interview with the Hoover Institute. Twitter took down his tweet that questioned the effectiveness of masks. Watch this video Here: The Doctor Is In: Scott Atlas and the Efficacy of Lockdowns, Social Distancing, and Closings – Bing video
‘Science’ Destroyed Its Own Credibility. Atlas has refused to be silenced. He has a lot to say about how the scientific field and Americans’ trust in it have been tremendously harmed during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Science has been not just a victim,” he told me, “but actively participated in the self-destruction of its credibility.”
To prove his point, Atlas referred to the now infamous letter published in Lancet, which denounced the lab-leak theory as a “conspiracy” that created “fear, rumors, and prejudice.” Facebook “fact-checkers” used the letter to censor discussion of the lab-leak theory for more than a year. It then surfaced in The Daily Mail that Peter Daszak, president of Eco Health Alliance, orchestrated a group of scientists to write the letter without disclosing the EHA’s close financial ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). Now many scientists accept that the WIV lab-leak theory is just as probable as the natural origin theory. Atlas also faulted leading scientific publications such as Nature and Lancet for playing “important roles in enabling, encouraging, and enforcing the false narrative.” In June, journalist Ian Birrell cited one source who estimated the publisher of Nature had sponsorship agreements worth millions of dollars from Chinese institutions. “Science is not supposed to be about intimidating, countering interpretation of data, or abusing, or censoring data,” Atlas said. “Science is not supposed to have a view. Science is only about data and the scientific process. There is never supposed to be ‘an accepted view’ of science.”
Stop Censoring the Scientific Process. Politicians and pundits also lost people’s trust by advocating regulations that were not based in fact. “The phrase ‘follow the science’ should never be uttered again by people who do not know actual data. They must stop,” Atlas said. “They have no credibility whatsoever when they get up and say, ‘follow the science.’ It’s clear many of them don’t know the science, don’t understand the science, and they are not using the science to make the recommendations.” How can science and scientists recover from this trust deficit? “It depends on only one thing — the visibility of the scientific process, which by definition is about the visibility of the data,” Atlas said. “There should be no censorship of views and interpretation of different data. Do not intimidate or issue harsh condemnations of people just because you disagree with them. Let the truth prevail by the data.” He has received hundreds of emails from other scientists who have encouraged him to remain outspoken while afraid to speak up themselves. “The saving of science really depend[s] on scientists to come forward and to be unafraid to say that the objectivity of science and [the] scientific process itself has been contaminated and impeded,” he continued. “When more scientists come forward, there hopefully will be a reversal of that [trust deficit]. There is no such thing as science without the evidence being visible and debates being current. Science doesn’t exist in any other way.” How can we do a better job of fighting back the next time our ruling class tries to send us into crisis mode? We have to recognize what the data revealed about this current pandemic, Atlas said, citing several recent studies (including one by Eran Bendavid and other scientists of Stanford University) showing that lockdowns didn’t work to keep COVID-19 from spreading while imposing their own severe additional costs.
Never Let Lockdowns Destroy Lives Again. Lockdowns destroyed people, Atlas said, by “shutting down medical care, stopping people from seeking emergency medical care, increasing drug abuse, increasing death by suicide, more psychological damage, particularly among the younger generation. Hundreds and thousands of child abuse cases went unreported. Teenagers’ self-harm cases have tripled.” Atlas also noted the increase of other deaths like tuberculosis, caused by the world’s focus on COVID-19. The World Health Organization warned in 2020 of up to an additional 400,000 deaths from tuberculosis because of the diversion of resources to COVID-19. “Mortality data showing that anywhere from a third or half of the deaths during the pandemic were not due to COVID-19,” Atlas said.
“They were extra deaths due to the lockdowns.” Besides causing health issues, the lockdowns have enormous economic costs, especially for poor people and developing countries. The Bangladesh economy’s shutdown during the pandemic, Atlas noted, was forecast to wipe out about $3 billion and close to 900,000 jobs off the nation’s economy with a devastating effect on the nation’s poor.
“We can never use the lockdown strategy again,” Atlas emphasized. Instead, we should offer targeted protections for high-risk people but no lockdowns of low-risk people. Other scientists, such as the authors of The Great Barrington Declaration, have advocated for the same approach. Atlas offers additional advice on how to prepare for the next pandemic based on lessons learned from COVID-19 in his upcoming new book, “A Plague Upon Our House: My Fight at the Trump White House to Stop COVID from Destroying America,” which is available for preorder now. Ultimately, Atlas said, the most important lesson to learn from the COVID-19 pandemic is that individuals must take responsibility for their own health-related decisions. We should never surrender our autonomy and capability to assess our risk tolerance to bureaucrats or the so-called expert class. Helen Raleigh, CFA, is an American entrepreneur, writer, and speaker.

The financial ruin of the U.S. is imminent. It will be ugly. I feel bad for the next generation. I feel resentment towards our BS leadership (ACROSS THE BOARD). I feel growing resentment towards the silent folks that voted for this clown president. It makes us vulnerable, weak. I feel uneasy overall about the future. It’s not so much how I feel, as I’m over 60, The burden of repayment and diminished quality of life will fall to them. Thanks @TheDemocrats & @GOP . When you owe money all over town, as they say, you are not in a position of strength. As an individual or as a nation. If I know this, surely “they” know this. Ugh. I’m thinking how can any entity be that far in debt and still ask for more money? Any bank would have already cut off the average citizen. Learn how to cut back, not spend more, It’s not OUR national debt! That debt is on the government alone! I balance my budget, work for what I make, and spend only what I have earned.
If I can’t afford something, I do without it. That debt doesn’t belong to me. I never authorized anyone to borrow on my behalf! With people like AOC who have degrees in Economics this makes sense to them. Well by 2032 10 years from now America will not be able to raise enough tax revenue to make the yearly interest payment on the national at the current rate of speeding.
All we will have to sacrifice for the debt is our country, land, citizens, and will likely have to start speaking Chinese soon.

Lenin’s political pamphlet What Is to Be Done?, written in 1901, also helped to precipitate the Bolsheviks’ split from the Mensheviks. In Germany, the book was published in 1902, but in Russia, strict censorship outlawed its publication and distribution. One of the main points of Lenin’s writing was that a revolution can only be achieved by the strong leadership who would dedicate their entire lives to the cause. After the proposed revolution had successfully overthrown the government, this strong leadership would relinquish power to allow socialism to fully develop. Lenin said that if professional revolutionaries did not maintain control over the workers, then they would lose sight of the party’s objective and adopt opposing beliefs or even abandon the revolution entirely.
The pamphlet also showed that Lenin’s view of a socialist intelligentsia was in line with Marxist theory. For example, Lenin agreed with the Marxist ideal of social classes ceasing to be and for the eventual “withering away of the state“. Most party members considered unequal treatment of workers immoral and were loyal to the idea of a completely classless society. This pamphlet also showed that Lenin opposed another group of reformers, known as “Economists“, who were for economic reform while leaving the government relatively unchanged and who, in Lenin’s view, failed to recognize the importance of uniting the working population behind the party’s cause.

So I hesitated for a while, but it’s simply the best document I’ve seen on Covid, vaccines, etc. Whoever Spartacus is, they have a very elaborate knowledge in “the field”.

Yes, exactly… I just met with someone injured by the jab. She now has stage 4 cancer. She took the jab in Jan. If anyone regrets taking the jab, check out NanoSoma…
Herd immunity is the only way. Covid going is no different than the flu. Flu changes the vaccine changes Covid is no different. Eventually the vaccine will be found that works. And once a year we will make the choice to get the shot or not. Like the Flu, Pneumonia and Hives.
Freaking stupid: They want you to get a vaccine for the Covid 19 when there are variants out there… Let me know when the death rate is higher than 1% and maybe I’ll worry.
Exactly. If every single person got jabbed on the planet right now.
There would still be cases growing each week. Because the vaccines are shit.
The #CovidVaccine screws up the #ImmuneSystem! People who took the jab are condemned to take #BoosterShots for the rest of their lives! #antivaxxer#antivaxxers is a weaponized word that allows naïve people to dehumanize and debase other people, guilt-free and consequence-free.

It’s at best an ‘ok’ flu shot. Just to be clear, so there is no confusion; I am involved in both second gen SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development as well as repurposed drug development for COVID-19.

Particularly when you know they have no positive effect on Delta. What would you do now knowing about Uttar Pradesh, India with 1% used the Chinese vaccine issuing med kits of ivermectin issued by officials for early Tx?

The problem is doc, I don’t think people are going to have trust in their physicians and pharma at all after this. I think actual anti-vax is going to go through the roof. Riddle me this, why are you promoting Vax R&D when readily available treatment protocols exist? No need whatsoever for this cult-like behavior for vaccine development. It has nothing to do with health & everything to do with big pharma. Natural immunity & healthy lifestyle. If you’re not an anti-vx-er then you still haven’t uncovered the entire story.

As bad as Covid has been the past +-two years it has shown me a lot. Show me who my true friends are. Who will betray me in a second if asked to. It Gave me a new appreciation of nature, photography, and music. Lastly, it showed me that you have to enjoy life even in the bad times.
The last 2+/- years have also shown me who my friends are, and they are my family. They always have my back, love me unconditionally, and are there if I need them. Moving home to be nearer my true “safety net”. Agreed. It’s also shown many that you must take responsibility for your health and when prepping, make sure to stock up on s u p p l e m e n t s. It’s shown me that I want nothing to do with my peers, who mostly blindly accept the false science, lies and tyranny. I’m learning how to identify as something other than just my profession. I haven’t found it yet, but I’m sure there is a better life. That’s true for the longest time people identified themselves by their occupation so you never really got to know the full person.

I totally agree with what you said about covid .. Life is only as hard as one makes it. In my opinion, Covid is a minor setback in everyday life of fast paced humdrums. Yes, the past 2 years have been a shock to our everyday “normal” lives. Americans are resilient and strong,
this is why America is the greatest country on earth
To jab or not to jab?
I don’t agree that we need a vax at all. Natural immunity is the only thing that ends this. Lock up the old people for a few months and let the young & healthy stop the virus dead by way of natural immunity. Done. Thankyou Doc.. for being the voice of reason in this whole COVID hysteria! We cannot have #MandatoryVaccination if Fauci n CDC don’t recognize #naturalimmunity !
People are losing their careers over this madness. Hopefully you are not using aborted fetal cell lines. Disgusting and the reason many of us won’t touch the vaccines. Thank God because now we’ve seen the disaster they are.
I Got “Breakthrough” COVID And Here’s What I Wish I’d Known.
The test results that hot day in early August shouldn’t have surprised me — all the symptoms were there. A few days earlier, fatigue had enveloped me like a weighted blanket. I chalked it up to my weekend of travel. Next, a headache clamped down on the back of my skull. Then my eyeballs started to ache. And soon enough, everything tasted like nothing.
As a reporter who’s covered the coronavirus since the first confirmed U.S. case landed in Seattle, where I live, I should have known what was coming, but there was some part of me that couldn’t quite believe it. I had a breakthrough case of covid-19 — despite my two shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the second one in April. I was just one more example of our country’s tug and pull between fantasies of a post-covid summer and the realities of our still-raging pandemic, in which even the vaccinated can get sick. Not only was I sick, but I’d exposed my 67-year-old father and extended family during my first trip back to the East Coast since the start of the pandemic. It was just the scenario I had tried to avoid for a year and a half. Where did I get it? Who knows. Like so many Americans, I had loosened up on wearing masks all the time and physical distancing after getting fully vaccinated. We had flown across the country, seen friends, stayed at a hotel, eaten indoors and, yes, even gone to a long-delayed wedding with other vaccinated people.
I ended up in quarantine at my father’s house. Two rapid antigen tests (taken a day apart) came back negative, but I could tell I was starting to feel sick. After my second negative test, the nurse leveled with me. “Don’t hang your hat on this,” she said of the results. Sure enough, a few days later the results of a PCR test for the coronavirus (this one sent to a lab) confirmed what had become obvious by then. It was a miserable five days. My legs and arms ached, my fever crept up to 103 and every few hours of sleep would leave my sheets drenched in sweat. I’d drop into bed exhausted after a quick trip to the kitchen. To sum it up, I’d put my breakthrough case of Covid right up there with my worst bouts of flu. Even after my fever broke, I spent the next few weeks feeling low. Of course, I am very lucky. I didn’t go up against the virus with a naive immune system, like millions of Americans did before vaccines were widely available. And, in much of the world, vaccines are still a distant promise.
“You probably would have gotten much sicker if you had not been vaccinated,” Dr. Francesca Torriani, an infectious-disease physician at the University of California-San Diego, explained to me recently. As I shuffled around my room checking my fever, it was also reassuring to know that my chances of ending up in the hospital were slim, even with the delta variant. And now, about a month later, I’ve made a full recovery. The reality is breakthrough cases are becoming more common. Here’s what I wish I’d known when those first symptoms laid me low.
Dear heads who are blaming obesity: STOP being a puppet for the @DNC who plan to manipulate & control the food supply. You’re only helping the socialists. There’s a WHOLE planet with Covid & the whole damn thing isn’t fat people.
1. Is It Time For a Reality Check About What the Vaccines Can — and Can’t Do? The vaccines aren’t a force field that wards off all things Covid. They were given the green light because they greatly lower your chance of getting seriously ill or dying. But it was easy for me — and I’m not the only one — to grab onto the idea that, after so many months of trying not to get Covid, the vaccine was, more or less, the finish line. And that made getting sick from the virus unnerving. After all, there were reassuring findings earlier this year that the vaccine was remarkably good at stopping any infection, even mild ones. “There was so much initial euphoria about how well these vaccines work,” said Dr. Jeff Duchin, an infectious-disease physician and the public health officer for Seattle and King County. “I think we — in the public health community, in the medical community — facilitated the impression that these vaccines are bulletproof.”
It’s hard to keep adjusting your risk calculations. So if you’d hoped to avoid getting sick at all, even slightly, it may be time for a “reset,” Duchin said. This isn’t to be alarmist but a reminder to clear away expectations that Covid is out of your life, and stay vigilant about common sense precautions.
2. How High are My Chances of Getting a Breakthrough Case These Days? It used to be quite rare, but the rise of delta has changed the odds. “It’s a totally different ballgame with this delta phase,” said Dr. Eric Topol, a professor of molecular medicine and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in San Diego. “I think the chance of having a symptomatic infection has gone up substantially.” But “quantifying that in the U.S. is very challenging” because our “data is so shoddy,” he said. The vaccinated still have a considerably lower chance of getting infected than those who aren’t protected that way. Los Angeles County collected data over the summer as the delta variant started to surge: Unvaccinated people were five times as likely to test positive than those who were vaccinated.
3. How Careful Do I Need to be if I Want to Avoid a Breakthrough? Looking back, I wish I’d taken more precautions. And my advice to friends and family now is: Wear masks, stay away from big gatherings with unvaccinated people and cut down on travel, at least until things calm down. The U.S. is averaging more than 150,000 coronavirus infections a day (about twice what it was when I fell sick), hospitals are overwhelmed, and the White House has proposed booster shots. Scientists are still making sense of what’s happening with breakthrough cases. In many parts of the U.S., we’re all more likely to run into the virus than we were in the spring. “Your risk is going to be different if you are in a place that’s very highly vaccinated, with very low level of community spread,” said Dr. Preeti Malani, a specialist in infectious diseases at the University of Michigan. “The piece that’s important is what’s happening in your community.”
4. What Does a “Mild” Case of Covid Feel Like? In my case, it was worse than I expected, but in the parlance of public health, it was “mild,” meaning I didn’t end up in the hospital or require oxygen. This mild category is essentially a catchall, said Dr. Robert Wachter, who chairs the Department of Medicine at the University of California-San Francisco. “Mild” can range from “a day of feeling crummy to being completely laid up in bed for a week, all of your bones hurt and your brain isn’t working well.” There’s not great data on the details of these mild breakthrough infections, but so far it appears that “you do way better than those who are not vaccinated,” said Dr. Sarang Yoon, an occupational medicine specialist at the University of Utah who was part of a nationwide study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on breakthrough infections. Yoon’s study, published in June with data collected before the delta surge, found that the presence of fever was cut in half, and the days spent in bed reduced by 60% among people with breakthrough infections, compared with unvaccinated people who got sick. If you’re vaccinated, the risk of being hospitalized is one-tenth that of the unvaccinated, according to the latest data from the CDC. Those who get severely and critically ill with a breakthrough case tend to be older — in one study done before delta, the median age was 80.5 — with underlying medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease.
5. Can I Spread It to Others, and Do I Need to Isolate? Unfortunately, you still have Covid and need to act like it. Even though my first two tests were negative, I started wearing a mask at my house and keeping my distance from my vaccinated family members. I’m glad I did: No one else got sick. The delta variant is more than twice as contagious as the original strain of the virus and can build up quickly in your upper respiratory tract, as was shown in a cluster of breakthrough infections linked to Provincetown, Massachusetts, over the summer. “Even in fully vaccinated, asymptomatic individuals, they can have enough virus to transmit it,” said Dr. Robert Darnell, a physician-scientist at The Rockefeller University. The science isn’t settled about just how likely vaccinated people are to spread the virus, and it does appear that the amount of virus in the nose decreases faster in people who are vaccinated. Still, wearing masks and staying isolated from others if you test positive or have symptoms is absolutely critical, Darnell said.
6. Could I Get Long Covid After a Breakthrough Infection? While there’s not a lot of data yet, research does show that breakthrough infections can lead to the kind of persistent symptoms that characterize Long Covid, including brain fog, fatigue and headaches. “Hopefully that number is low. Hopefully it doesn’t last as long and it’s not as severe, but it’s just too early to know these things,” Topol said. Recent research from the United Kingdom suggests that vaccinated people are about 50% less likely to develop long Covid than those who are unvaccinated.

CELINA – A 49-year-old unvaccinated man is among three new deaths and 98 new cases of COVID-19 reported in Mercer County during the past week, according to a Wednesday news release from the Mercer County Health District. Health district administrator Jason Menchhofer on Wednesday night said the newest deaths also include an 84-year-old man and an 80-year-old man. Both were fully vaccinated, marking the third and fourth fully vaccinated individuals to die from the virus. —> Read More
Is this a legit question? U know better than to think this can all be solved by voting…Do you know what happens when you please God?
Miracles. Miracles happen.
I knew of a man that thought he would try God and ask him to move a mountain so they could be a road, So he did, not long after the road was made into a freeway and man carve that mountain down to put the road through. In reality God can only do what he can do naturally. Use of Ego, application of Ego, stuff like that. Slamming Ego is like slamming one’s arm. Who creates their own first thoughts? No one. Most people don’t know why they like peas over another vegetable but they do.
Come 2023 when covid Vaccine trials are officially complete,
I’m either going to be PROVEN RIGHT or PROVEN RIGHT.
AMERICA FIRST – FREEDOM – TRUMP – PATRIOT “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” IFB ALL PATRIOTS.
For every 1000 ballots we cast, the left communists have 1003 balloots waiting. We must vote from the rooftops. They keep being able to cheat like Gavin Newsom..so it might be a civil war cause we can’t go on like this . No need to bother to persuade them, or vote them out, defeat them, wear them down to the ground. They deserve it.
Trump knows Unless this fraudulent voting system is corrected, millions of Trump supporters will never vote again. Not after what we witnessed 11/3 and the GA senate vote.
No, we tried that in 2020. We cannot vote our way out, but we can pray.
God is the only one who can change things.
Yes, with a 5 to 4 vote at SCOTUS confirming that the Nov 2020 election was so riddled with fraud and corruption the state legislatures have decertified, changed their electoral college votes giving Trump 270 or more votes and
declared Trump the winner of the presidential race.
We were coasting to victory in 2020. And our Republic leaders, Do nothing!! Mitch McConnell And other Rinos didn’t do or say anything. So fat chance we’ll win another national election.
I didn’t believe they would actually be able to pull off such a huge fraud.
September 24, 2021 ~ An independent audit confirms that Joe Biden won in AZ’s Maricopa county in 2020.” That’s False!!!
Not unless the same thing that happened in Maricopa county happens in Fulton county (GA) & counties of Detroit, Milwaukee, & Philadelphia for starters. Preferably Forensic audits w/ signature verification. Should’ve happened 20 yrs ago. Won’t happen so no CaliforniaRecallElection should be Audited>that will tell you if we can or not we’ve felt for decades it was rigged here so maybe we should assume it is>Audit them all>attempt to keep it honest & burn ESS Computer voting machines>How do you think that Maduro won Looks in Venezuela now.
Trust me Venezuelans have been trying to vote the way out of socialism for 20 years and it doesn’t work. We were the Richest country in the world at one time. Sad to see where it is now. Balkanization. Police state. Civil war. There is a 100% chance we are headed for one of the three. That’s the only way. Get the bad sec’s of state indicted. True the vote and win next year. Then impeach Joe, Kamala, Nancy, Chuck, Adam- all the swamp. Let the House pick POTUS, and kill every EO Biden signed. Baby steps but democracy is slow on purpose .
We don’t have time to dick around with local elections. Has voting ever worked the way it’s supposed to?
There won’t be a NATION left to save. We’ll never know. But knowing what we know now about how corrupt the Democrat Slave Master Party is, and always has been, I doubt it… The GOP is corrupt also but I just don’t see their kind of corruption stooping to election rigging and physical intimidation.
No one is interested in fixing the voting system. They won’t even admit it’s broken. The GOP certified this fraudulent election. We’re toast. Yeah, by criminal investigations…the problem is way way deeper. you’ve got the whole unelected bureaucracy plus foreign government influence including the world government. Yes it’s there but not in its full form yet.
Just look no closer than here on Twitter sidebar it says, Gaslighting 101….hard to fight that when everything is rigged for the Demoncrats…might have to look at other options…Unfortunately, no. We’re past the point of working this out w/ #woke Demoncrats. They know it, too. That’s why the fences go up around federal buildings. They know what they did. You mean put in a number to be voided by ten “mail in” ballots at least? From dead people, duplicate people, etc. Hell no. Voting means nothing at this point.
Trump won big. Newsom lost big. But here we are with…”voting.” After what happened in California and the gaslighting by the MSM, I no longer think so. Too many Rinos and bad actors on both sides, it’s a shame that they don’t follow history, in the end, they are fools for the establishment and of what’s to come.. When we sit still and allow our election integrity to be lost, we will never have any confidence again. Besides all this illegal immigration is simply vote buying. If you pick one cause to volunteer and spend your time on, I recommend election integrity, and local involvement in the election process.
We the people are the only way.
The democrats perfected the way to cheat and control elections because of the weak republicans. It’s over for our country. Not so sure either…..by the time mid term election arrives who knows what else the Democrats could change? or destroy! Guess we’ll find out in about a year. I am actually hopeful that we will. And if we don’t it will be civil war and the country will split. Unsure of the method of remedy other than it is our solemn duty…. To show a sign of impatience, is needed for those whose ideology (communism) is very patient.
In effect…They will gnaw forever, at a bone made of marble… our vote will be stolen. If nothing or no one is held accountable for the cheat, then I guess not. Unsure if patriots have that much patience. The lies from the Left and the MSM are trying people’s fortitude! California is fucked. America is on the brink of distinction. Paper ballots will never get you out of the situation you’re in. Nope not unless 2020 is fixed in all 50. Exposing ALL who are compromised is the only option. Or else!…. Faux-voting is how we got this faux-admin. Fix it or we’ll never get back our One Nation Under God Republic.
I am still holding out. We are still free on paper. We must start local and work our way up. There’s too much evil in this country and running this country to ever have a vote that counts again. If the 2020 cheat is not fully investigated and charged and soon, start learning Mandarin. Voting has been designed from the get go, to be manipulated. Sometimes they rig a little, and sometimes they rig a lot. We need a new way of delegating power. Or better yet, instead of delegating power, just hire contractors to do the jobs we need. No need for polls. Not without an overhaul on the entire voting system.
There is no way! The tentacles of the establishment are deep into our elections So many non-elected are bought and paid for via Soros. The only way out of this is war, and I have my doubts about that, 40 years ago it would have happened, before the Soyboy era. I pray that enough people has seen what is happening to our country and we can vote for people who actually care .
September 26, 2021 ~ Democrats Unveil Plan To Strip Presidency Of Powers As They Fear Trump May Return. (RoyalPatriot.com)- House Democrats appear to be looking ahead to the possibility of a second Trump administration, with far-left House speaker Nancy Pelosi joining other Democrat lawmakers on Tuesday to announce the introduction of legislation that curtails the power of the president. House Speaker Pelosi was joined by Rep. Adam Schiff of California, who is the chief sponsor of the bill, which is being titled the “Protecting Our Democracy Act.” Notice how they always use language to falsely attribute characteristics to extremist legislation? This is by no means an effort to protect democracy, and nor is their “For the People Act” a piece of legislation that benefits the people.
Without making any specific reference to President Donald Trump’s unconstitutional acts – which there is no evidence he has ever even committed – Pelosi said that they are taking action to ensure that “no president of whatever party can ever assume that he or she has the power to usurp the power of the other branches of government.” In short, she wants to make sure the House has more control when a president isn’t doing what she wants him to do.
She’s probably mad that she couldn’t stand in the way of funding the wall. President Donald Trump famously diverted $3.8 billion in Pentagon funding to pay for the wall, citing the obvious fact that mass migration of illegals over the border was a national security risk. Under the Democrats’ new bill, the president’s pardon power would be limited, presidents would be required to provide their tax records, and a deadline for prosecuting former presidents and vice presidents for federal crimes while committed in office will be extended. Do you see what they’re doing here?
The new legislation will effectively make it easy for Pelosi to force Trump to release his tax returns, and to prosecute him on non-crimes she accuses him of. They’re so scared of Trump coming back that the Democrats are proposing legislation that will make it significantly easier for them to punish him when he does.
YOUR FEELINGS ARE NOT FACTS….. I MY COUNTRY.… IF YOU DO NOT YOUR COUNTRY FEEL FREE TO LEAVE IT. PATRIOTISM IS NOT RACISM….IF DON’T LIKE ME KEEP WALKING…
Socialist They are bought off puppets who are propagandists no different than Joseph Goebbels. Biden warns that the debt crisis could trigger a recession, as he is pushing for a 3.5 trillion dollar infrastructure bill that is full of everything but infrastructure projects.
“If you’re on a free will, sovereign planet and you choose not to use your free will or sovereignty, who’s fault is that?” ~ Rion DeRouen
Please pray for This GlobalSpiritual War.
Pray that our country is able to retain the values and traditions intended by the founding fathers and that our great nation never succumbs–to those who wish to change our country into something we can never accept. Also pray that GOD allows America to emerge from this crisis stronger than ever.
He holds the foolish evildoers in derision and laughs at them!
1. Getting vaccinated from coronavirus is now a race. Against the spread of the Delta variant, which is two times as contagious as previous strains. Delta accounts for nearly all new cases, averaging well over 100,000 in the United States daily. While millions of people continue to get vaccinated, millions are still hesitant or skeptical. According to medical experts, this is now primarily a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The vaccines, however, do not fully protect against the Delta variant. Breakthrough cases are possible. The vaccines’ protection against getting infected with Delta ranges from 39 percent to 96 percent. Symptoms of breakthrough infections can be non-existent or, on rare occasions, severe. There are two camps of Delta patients, and depending on one’s vaccination status, their experience with the virus differs.
Dr. Amira Roess is an infectious disease expert and professor of Global Health and Epidemiology at George Mason University’s College of Health and Services. She provided information about the likely indications someone has the Delta variant for the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. Read on to find out more—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss these Sure Signs You May Have Already Had COVID.
2.Signs of Infection for the Unvaccinated.
95% of new cases come from the unvaccinated population. Unvaccinated individuals may experience cough, fever, chills, muscle aches, headaches, loss of taste or smell, and many other symptoms. They may endure these symptoms for much longer than those who are vaccinated, which could result in hospitalization. Preliminary data analysis suggests that among unvaccinated individuals, the Delta variant may cause more severe symptoms than the Alpha variant. We are waiting for much-needed data to help answer this question. We do know that the Delta variant infects more individuals. There is also compelling evidence of a longer duration of infectiousness among the unvaccinated compared to the first strain of COVID-19. Individuals infected with the Delta variant can infect about twice as many individuals as we had observed in people infected with the Alpha variant. RELATED:Signs Delta is in Your Brain, Warn Doctors
3. Get Vaccinated
These vaccines protect people from serious illness and hospitalization by up to 90%. To limit the spread, wear an N95 mask or facial covering. Social distancing while indoors and participating in group activities outside as much as possible is also crucial in stopping the proliferation of this highly contagious variant.
Says the CDC: “COVID-19 affects different people in different ways. Infected people have had a wide range of symptoms reported – from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:
Fever or chills Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Fatigue Muscle or body aches Headache New loss of taste or smell Sore throat Congestion or runny nose Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea
Look for emergency warning signs for COVID-19. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:
Trouble breathing Persistent pain or pressure in the chest New confusion Inability to wake or stay awake Pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nail beds, depending on skin tone
Call your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you.
Follow the public health fundamentals and help end this pandemic, no matter where you live—get vaccinated ASAP; if you live in an area with low vaccination rates, wear an N95 face mask, don’t travel, social distance, avoid large crowds, don’t go indoors with people you’re not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don’t visit any of these 35 Places You’re Most Likely to Catch COVID.
The One Food to Eat If You’re Having Gut Issues: Garlic
You’ve been feeling bloated lately (and it’s not just the salty takeout you had for dinner last night). Or things in your midsection are feeling funky, but you just can’t pin down why. Your gut microbiome is sending out a cry for help—but short of loading up on probiotics, you’re at a loss.
Don’t worry, friend—relief might be as simple as tweaking your diet. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a 2018 study conducted by researchers at Kings College London found that prebiotic fibers found in certain foods might be more beneficial for the gut than others. Among those foods? Garlic.
Really? Pungent, spicy garlic for stomach woes? Here’s why: Garlic is naturally high in inulin, a type of non-digestible carbohydrate or “functional fiber” that feeds the good bacteria in your digestive system. Basically, it acts as fuel for those bacteria to do their job better, which makes your gut function better overall. And per a study in Food Science and Human Wellness, garlic actually promotes the growth of friendly bacteria (bifidobacteria, specifically) in the gut, and prevents disease-promoting bacteria from growing at the same time. Not to mention, garlic is also known for its antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer properties and might be able to prevent heart disease.
And it tastes *kisses hands like a chef.* Know that garlic will start to lose its prebiotic benefits the more you cook it (and raw is best for gut health), so try rubbing it on toast or adding it to guacamole or salad dressing instead of cooking it. On the other hand, too much of a good thing can have adverse effects, so start out slow (i.e., don’t just down whole cloves out of the blue). One more important thing to note: If your bloating and digestion issues are caused by IBS, or if you subscribe to a low FODMAP diet (which eliminates a lot of those non-digestible carbs), garlic could be a trigger for stomach issues. Studies have found that eliminating foods like garlic can actually help clear up those issues, so it’s worth talking to your doctor if you think IBS could be in the picture.
A hospital in Nevada is urging residents to take the coronavirus seriously as it nears capacity due to an influx of COVID-19 patients. “As a hospital staff, we are pleading with you to practice the precautions we know are effective in stopping COVID-19,” Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital said in a COVID-19 update on Friday.
The hospital urged citizens to wear masks, avoid large gatherings, practice social distancing and get vaccinated against COVID-19.
“Most importantly, please get vaccinated against COVID-19. Vaccination truly is the best way to protect yourself and others from being hospitalized with this disease,” the hospital said. The hospital reported 48 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 between Sept. 17 and Sept. 23 and 14 patients in intensive care. Eleven people have died. Nearly 94 percent of the hospitalized patients were unvaccinated as well as nearly 86 percent of patients in intensive care. Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital said that its medical-surgical unit and intensive care unit have both been “near capacity for several days.” The hospital has postponed elective surgeries and redeployed surgical staff for COVID-19 patients. The hospital also said it was moving patients to “alternate clinical areas of the hospital” to increase the number of beds available. The hospital is currently not turning away any patients, but wait times may be longer than normal. “At Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital, we are here to serve you whenever you need us. Please help us slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep our healthcare system from being overrun,” the hospital said. In Elko County, where the hospital is located, a record 655 active coronavirus infections were reported on Friday, according to the Elko Daily Free Press. The county has also reported 18 deaths in September, surpassing December, which was the county’s deadliest month in the pandemic.
If they would stop testing people that don’t have symptoms, those numbers would dwindle. It seems obvious that vaccines are causing variants. From my understanding The Vaccinated have no more natural immunity to Covid. Now Covid is everywhere, not just this enhanced version.
It could be that they are now defenseless to all Covid.
By this source the case rate is climbing in just 11 states/territories and in two it is stable. In ALL the rest it is declining. The 7 Day National Survival Rate is > 99.99%Consider this with Biden restricting monoclonal antibodies and HCQ/Ivermectin prophylaxis. Vaccines aren’t working most likely and the spike proteins in the vaccines are considered harmful to human DNA cells, this is what some Physicians and Professors examining the vaccines indicate. Everyone needs to wake up! The vaccines are causing the rise in cases and hospitalizations.
Because the man made “vaccine” is making the man made virus mutate faster. Some have hunkered down to not live.

The day following an interview where I extolled the virtues of an essential oil blend aptly named the “cold and flu blend”, my husband came down with cold symptoms and I had a scratchy throat. Life is funny that way.
That same day, I went into high gear and began applications of this natural cold and flu medicine three times a day. In my case, two days was enough because I never developed any additional symptoms. My husband, however, had a lot of congestion so he has continued the protocol for almost a week. The good news is that both of us are now fine and had no need to resort to over the counter remedies. Our natural DIY cold and flu medicine worked. Of course, I knew it would!
It is my opinion that everyone should have this blend in their arsenal not only for now but for when and if the stuff hits the fan. It is a do it yourself recipe that you can make yourself. To the best of my knowledge, it is not available pre-blended. Flu bomb oil – Bing video
MAKE YOUR OWN COLD AND FLU BOMB USING ESSENTIAL OILS
This will make enough to almost fill an empty 5ML essential oil bottle. It is easily cut in half or doubled.
Note: Protective blends go by many names and are available from many different companies (Thieves, Robbers, Germ Fighter, Shield). Or you can make your own using the recipe in this article Make Your Own Essential Oil Protective & Immunity Blend.
HOW TO USE THE COLD AND FLU BOMB
There are many ways to use this blend but my favorites are in a rollerball supplemented by use in a diffuser.
Roller Ball Formula: Add 60 drops of the Cold and Flu Bomb to a 10ml rollerball. Top with FCO (fractionated coconut oil) or another liquid carrier. Apply to your chest and throat area and to the bottoms of your feet at least three times a day. For severe symptoms, bump that up to six times a day. This is a very potent 30% dilution.
In a Diffuser: Diffuse 6 to 8 drops in your favorite diffuser. I keep one running in the bedroom at night, in the bathroom while getting ready in the morning, and in the great room during the day. This blend has somewhat of a medicinal smell (or at least it does for me) but I put up with it.
Flu Bomb Essential Oil
Infused in every Flu Bomb product, our Flu Bomb essential oil blends are an all-natural premium blend of essential oils designed to combat colds, fight flu naturally and support a healthy immune system.
Essential Oils for Flu*
Frankincense
Oregano
Cinnamon
Wild Orange
Lemon
And more!
Our Flu Bomb blends are essential for preparing your body to fight flu and cold symptoms all year! These all-natural ingredients are considered some of the best essential oils for cold and flu. This blend of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, decongestants can be applied to boost your immune system naturally.
This was a logical choice since Plant Therapy has always been my preferred source for carrier oils such as Fractionated Coconut oil and Jojoba oil. They carry a huge variety of EOs and are available to purchase directly both on the Plant Therapy website and on Amazon. As a bonus, their web site posts test results individually by oil along with the corresponding batch number. This assures me that the oils are not fake.
While there are many excellent EO companies, I am happy with my choice and hope you will check them out. Wherever you decide to purchase your oils, let your nose guide you. If your essential oil smells like paint thinner, return it. Good oils smell nice.
What Is The Flu Bomb? The flu bomb is an all natural tea like drink made up of antiviral, antimicrobial, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients.
To be honest, it doesn’t taste great. When I first put this together I was nervous to actually drink it. But like I said, I was desperate so I drank it up and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. And now whenever I get sick my body actually begins to crave it. The ingredients and their medicinal properties are listed below.
The Flu Bomb Ingredients Many of the ingredients you may already have on hand. You don’t necessarily have to use every ingredient on the list. But from my personal experience the more ingredients you use the more powerful the flu bomb will be.
1 | Echinacea Tea Echinacea has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral properties and is an immune strengthening agent. Drinking echinacea tea has been found to be effective in shortening the duration of cold and flu symptoms.
2 | Lemon Lemons are packed with vitamin C. They’re also a natural antioxidant that enhances the immune system and lemons also have antiviral and antibacterial properties. Lemon juice has been reported to decrease the strength of the cold and flu virus in the body.
3 | Cayenne Pepper Cayenne pepper may relieve fever and lower your body temperature by stimulating sweat glands. Cayenne peppercan also help relieve congestion by stimulating the mucous membranes of the nose and sinuses. Cayenne is also highly anti-inflammatory. You can click here to learn more about the health benefits of cayenne pepper.
4 | Apple Cider Vinegar The probiotics in apple cider vinegar can give your immune system a boost. Also, the acid inapple cider vinegarcan thin out mucus in the throat. Apple cider vinegar is rich in the same nutrients that you would find in apples, too. Potassium, vitamin C, antioxidants, and vitamin E.
5 | Garlic Garlicis a powerful antioxidant with antimicrobial, antiviral and antibacterial properties. Garlic also provides decongestant and expectorant effects. Click here to learn more about the amazing health benefits of garlic!
6 | Honey Not only does honey help this drink to go down a little easier, it also has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Research suggests thathoney is an effective cough suppressant as well!
7 | Ginger Ginger naturally combats nausea and vomiting. It is also anti-inflammatory and can help to ease digestion issues.
8 | Tumeric Curcumin, the medicinal compound found inturmeric powderhas powerful antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It also has strong antiviral properties that have a direct effect on influenza infections.
Brew one cup of echinacia tea Squeeze the lemon juice into cup Add all the remaining ingredients above Stir well Drink up!
SUMMING IT ALL UP Everyone needs to make their own decision relative to flu shots as well as remedies and drugs to combat colds and flu symptoms. By now you know that I have chosen a more natural path to wellness and as a result, I avoid both. As I say that, please understand that if my symptoms were dire, of course, I would seek more traditional medical attention. Still, I cannot remember the last time I was sick. I like to think that by regularly using a protective blend in my diffuser, in my soaps, and in my cleaning products, I have an edge on wellness. Couple that with the cold and flu bomb when I am feeling symptoms, and so far I am golden. If you do nothing else, make up a batch of the portable hand sanitizer and keep it with you while you are out and about. It just might save the day.

Furthermore:
Most everyone knows that the immune system – a complex network of cells, organs and molecules – protects us from bacteria, viruses and other foreign invaders that can cause infection. What you may not know is that the immune system can also find and attack cancer cells. There are two main types of immune response:
Innate Immunity The body’s first line of defense, innate immunity immediately protects us from foreign pathogens and abnormal cells, including tumor cells, through the activation of natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages and other white blood cells.
Adaptive Immunity The body’s second line of defense, adaptive immunity is a learned defense system. It develops in response to exposure to a specific foreign pathogen or abnormal cell. Adaptive immunity uses different types of white blood cells, such as B cells and T cells, to build up long-term immunity and uses antibodies to identify and signal a need for destruction of a pathogen or cancer cell.
The rise of immuno-oncology
Over the last 100 years, the ways in which scientists and the medical community have used immune cells to fight cancer has evolved tremendously. This type of cancer treatment is known as immuno-oncology (I-O). The primary I-O approach leverages T cells from the adaptive immune system. This approach has proven to be successful and has led to the development of numerous FDA-approved treatments that utilize a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. Yet, with every innovation, there has been room to build on these therapies to make them safer and more effective.
As researchers looked for opportunities to improve, they have learned more about the cells of the innate immune system. They recognized that NK cells have great potential to improve outcomes for people with cancer. NK cells have properties that make them particularly effective at naturally destroying tumor cells. These characteristics make them ideal for pairing with Affirmed’s innate cell engagers (ICE®), which help redirect NK cells to the site of tumors and bind to them, enhancing natural anti-tumor activity.
Affirmed’s pioneering approach to create the next breakthroughs in I-O
Approved T cell-based I-O therapies have resulted in breakthroughs for some cancer patients, this type of treatment has limitations. Efficacy is often unpredictable, with some immunotherapies effective only in subsets of patients with certain types of cancers. Some patients develop resistance to these treatments or do not respond at all, and some treatments are associated with severe toxicities.
Recognizing these challenges, Affimed is taking a pioneering approach to I-O drug discovery and development. For the last 20 years, our researchers have leveraged what we know about the innate immune system to actualize its untapped, and historically overlooked, potential to fight cancer. NK cells present a major benefit to harnessing the power of the innate immune system, as they possess potent, anti-tumor capabilities and potentially a more tolerable approach to fighting cancer, with the additional benefit of potentially leading to a multi-layered immune response.
Affimed scientists, using our proprietary Redirected Optimized Cell Killing (ROCK®) platform, have generated a pipeline of ICE® molecules that bind to innate immune cells and can be customized to target a variety of tumor types. Affimed’s ROCK® platform is the most clinically advanced technology platform for designing innate immunity therapeutics for patients with hematologic cancers and solid tumors, aiming to give patients back their innate ability to fight cancer.
Innate immune cells, including NK cells and macrophages, express the cell surface protein CD16A, one of the most potent activating receptors on these types of cells. ICE® molecules bind to CD16A on innate cells, as well as to specific targets on tumor cells, resulting in the ability of ICE® molecules to recruit the body’s own innate immune cells to the site of the tumor. This unique mechanism of action leads to effective and efficient tumor cell killing, mimicking the natural way the body employs innate cells to fight cancer. We are currently evaluating our ICE® molecule AFM13 as both a monotherapy and in combination with NK cells in patients with hematologic cancers and developing our ICE® molecule AFM24 as monotherapy, as well as in combination with NK cells and a PD-L1 inhibitor, in solid tumors.

Fight for your freedoms or your kids will never know those freedoms existed. We have to make sure our children have a stable world. It’s our job, all of us, that’s very impactful.
Well, why does the US Gov not have rolling data on this?
Dr. Anthony Fauci: “I’m not denying at all that people who get infected and recover have a considerable degree of immunity.” Practically every policy of consequence is ignoring this. The disinformation has fomented the trust crisis. It’s important to get this right & trumpet it – you’re safe, it’s OK to return to normalcy, etc.
People still think you might get HIV from a toilet because of this buffoon…
A shot does not dramatically increase the recovered immunity. In fact, T-cell exhaustion has been seen. shot only increases circulating antibodies. which is expected when encountering covid. Natural immunity is perfect. Don’t Fuck with it. Fauci questions natural immunity but these questions also applies to the vaccines in use which haven’t been answered, yet they’re enforcing mandates,
Look, Fauci and our current illegitimate administration is here for profits only and don’t care to educate anyone on SCIENCE or want to protect the American people! The sooner we all realize this fact, the better it is for all of us!
They “don’t know what the durability of protection is from natural immunity”, but the durability of protection from the lab made pharmaceutical is settled
science? Exactly!
I’m sick of hearing people excuse all the ignorance with excuses about it being a new virus. We have the top people in the world working on this for 18 months. Why do we still have no answers to important questions?
They have been purposely ignoring the data because it goes against their agenda.
So we don’t have any idea about the durability of natural immunity, but we KNOW that this new vaccine that allows breakthrough infections and that we are pushing boosters for has better durability. But natural immunity can’t be monetized or controlled by the public health and pharmaceutical industries, so that ain’t gonna fly. How are Bill Gates, WEF, Fauci, Wen, Biden, et al gonna capitalize on natural immunity and good health?!
So he DOES have enough data to know everyone needs boosters b/c vaccine immunity isn’t anywhere near as robust/durable as the original data they “had enough of” predicted it would be, but DOESN’T have enough data to know how robust/durable natural immunity is…so mandates it is! My partner had a moderate case COVID? She had tested 5 months later with a good supply of antibodies. Tested again 12 months later & doubled her antibodies. Her doctor stated no need for a vaccine and he was deploying the vaccine at his clinic.
Natural immunity versus vaccine? Fauci says previously-infected people should vaccinate because the government doesn’t yet know the durability of natural immunity. WORSE: The more people you vaccinate before tracking this, the smaller a pool you will have 4 it. Immunity by overcoming all 29 proteins, or by just 1 out of 29 when vaccinated. (Sic. Spike protein). No wonder Israeli studies show that natural immunity is 13 times less likely to get Covid again compared to fully vaccinated, and 27 times less likely to get symptoms from it.
The discussion should have been largely about measuring and proliferating immunity from the beginning. How many of the 40 million in the US who recovered and did not succumb to covid-19 had more than sufficient antibody levels to prevent serious re-infection?
This is how he rolls: yes, natural immunity exists (3/2020), no, maybe we need to look into it (8/2021), yes (9/2021). My prediction, in a few months, those with prior infection won’t need vax cards. You claim you don’t know the duration of natural immunity all because it is cheap/free compared to the multibillion dollar vaccine industry hoax. You don’t know the durability of the vaccine either (clearly with boosters needed). You don’t know the long term effects of vaccines either. But clearly that’s nothing they care about. But they care about the unknown durability of natural immunity, SMH!! One moment it is that apparently we have no data, the next he describes the relative degree of natural immunity with some precision. The broad thrust of the data doesn’t support this claim. Vaccinating people who have had covid-19: why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US? | The BMJ
For the people in charge of responding to the largest international pandemic in modern history to NOT have the data on immunity for the covid recovered is downright intentional obfuscation. “I understand that vaccination offers stronger protections…”
Then you understand wrong, @jaketapper . It’s well established through multiple large scale studies that natural protection offers broader and more durable immunity than vaccination. It’s no longer even up for debate. Physicians pushing unnecessary medical procedures is a SERIOUS ethical breach. Pushing vaccines on people with natural immunity is unnecessary. An infection recovery practically stops the virus from reinfection most people.
A vaccination practically stops people noticing they are transmitting an infection. Exposing the virus to the vaccine may increase selection for vaccine resistance. “The findings appear to indicate increased protection from natural immunity over vaccine-conferred immunity. This may be due to a more extensive immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 proteins, compared with the immune activation provided by the vaccine, the researchers suggest.” But we know the “durability” of the vaccine. 6 months. A third booster adds 12 days. We also know that the vaccine only protects against one part of a specific spike protein from the original virus, hence ineffective against variants. Natural immunity provides broad immunity. He story changes everyday – we have a real life Marty Byrd Nor do we have the durability of vaccine immunity, especially against variants…but that’s ok apparently, because it’s not in support of the point currently being argued.

#DoctorDoomFauci strikes again. This joker & liar should have resigned a long time ago bec flip flopping on Covid19 mask mandates, gain of function, vaccine mandate. He is truly an agent & benefactor recipient from the Big Pharma’s. he’s misleading again: acquired immunity is at least 7 times stronger than vaccine immunity! And it lasts much longer. According to a study, God made immunity is 13 times more efficient to fighting the virus than the man made vax. Dr. Evil Fauci to Guantanamo. I cannot listen to him talk about the durability of natural infection immunity as if the vaccine doesn’t offer at best six months of “durable” immunity. By considerable degree he meant natural immunity is 13 times more effective against Delta.
He simply will not accept ANY prevention or treatment other than the vax. He is evil & motivated in his message by greed & corrupt leadership here & abroad. Any scientist would be open to exploring a multitude of options & celebrating their success. #FireFauci@FoxNews@MartyMakary Re: vaccine immunity. In this opinion piece by a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the Israel study from a few weeks shows that people with natural immunity were 27x less likely to get a 2nd infection compared to vaccinated individuals. There is no evidence that taking the vaccine after recovery improves the immune response at all, let alone “dramatically”. He’s making that up.
Are you just going to ignore that many who get Covid do NOT recover and die? And many more have long term negative health effects. So comparing natural immunity AFTER infection, to the vaccine preventing the infection is apples and oranges.
Is “natural immunity” against Covid better than the vaccine? | DebunkLink CDC: “The study of hundreds of Kentucky residents with previous infections through June 2021 found that those who were unvaccinated had 2.34 times the odds of reinfection compared with those who were fully vaccinated.” Our immune systems did not just suddenly crap out. Why is it so controversial to strengthen your immune system? Science is no longer evidence based. Fauci always assumed and not knowing for sure he subjected everyone to the adverse effects of experimental vaccines. It’s criminal. Like almost everything, the establishment shit-Lib narrative slowly but surely gets dismantled. Next is ‘FauciMectin” for 700 bucks a pop. Fauci talks like an extremely manipulative person talks. Watch some of his videos from when he was younger. Extremely extremely ambitious person. Borderline psychopathy. Look into Dr. Tony’s track record (particularly around AIDS). Breathe. Look again. Now respond…. The man is a fraud. Blatant lies. Studies show natural immunity is superior to the jab and others show no benefit to jabbing those with natural immunity. It definitely does not seem the vaccine is lasting longer than those who have had COVID, we are constantly reporting breakthrough cases, how many do you know who have got it twice? Fauci should be in jail. #FauciLied#FauciLiedMillionsDied
NATURAL IMMUNITY REQUIRES THAT YOU CONTRACT COVID AND SURVIVE. Natural immunity is 27times more protective according to an Israel study. Fauci is the main advocate of the “Gain of function” virus research and the funding for Wuhan research institute of virology to catch the Bats worldwide for GOF research.
What studies have been done in the U.S. comparing natural immunity vs vaxxed immunity levels? Fauci should already have this data. The recovery rate is over 98% so there are potentially tens of millions who recovered prior to taking the vaccine. Why is he hiding this?
etc and so is msm in its vax marketing campaign. When will lawyers develop a spine to litigate injuries because people hear these pharma and go and get boostered and die? And how is it they are allowed to do this without any “misinformation” tags from fact checkers? Their guidance is directly contrary to an FDA vote….so how is this different to previous advice contrary to FDA or CDC guidelines?
History will show that Fauci is worse than Mengele. If you look at the Texas border today and still believe that this little tyrant gives two figs about your health, you are beyond hope. Hundreds of thousands of people could have been saved with a simple medical protocol that would have cost penny’s . Fauci disregard them all, pushes vax that he held patents http://on.Pay for a virus, patent it, Vax,

The short answer is that there’s no rule, according to Dr. Mary Hayden, a professor at Rush University and head of the university’s Division of Infectious Diseases. The symptoms are so similar that “there’s really nothing that clearly differentiates one illness from the other,” making it nearly impossible to reliably self-diagnose. But here are some quick tips from experts for when you’re wondering whether you have COVID-19, and that could help you protect yourself and the people around you. Watch for symptoms, such as loss of smell, that don’t match up with common illnesses. Loss of smell is a symptom that is “more suggestive of COVID,” said Hayden, “especially if you don’t have nasal congestion.”
People with COVID-19 may lose their sense of smell without getting any of the other cold symptoms such as a sore throat or blocked nose, which is a “clue,” said Hayden. Dr. Mary K Hayden has a medical practice at 1653 West Congress Parkway, Chicago, IL. Dr. Mary K Hayden specializes in infectious disease and has over 34 years of experience in the field of medicine. She is affiliated with numerous hospitals, including Rush University Medical Center (IL) and more. New patients are welcome to contact Dr. Mary’s office in Chicago, Illinois.

This loss of smell is also different from when you get a blocked nose and can’t smell anything, or breathe properly. People with COVID-19 also get dysosmia, which is where “everything you taste tastes terrible,” said Aniruddha Hazra, MD – U of Chicago Medicine.
Websites offer lengthy checklists of symptoms that fit more with specific illnesses. This helps you identify symptoms that don’t square with conditions you typically get. For example, if you have a fever, said Hayden, this should rule out allergies because people with allergies don’t typically run a higher temperature. Decide when to get tested, and how to choose the right test. There are two different tests: rapid antigen tests, which were popular during the beginning of the pandemic, and polymerase chain reaction tests, called PCR tests. PCR tests are “the gold standard,” said Hazra, because they’re much more sensitive, working by picking up genetic material specific to COVID-19 with the ability to detect “tiniest traces” of the virus.
But this doesn’t mean that rapid tests don’t have their uses. It depends on the situation, said Hazra. Even if a test isn’t perfect, “this doesn’t mean it can’t be used in an educated way,” he said.
Despite being more reliable, PCR tests are slower than rapid tests, taking 24 to 48 hours to provide results. So if you need answers in a matter of minutes, rapid antigen tests are your best call. You can use these if you have symptoms and you’re trying to decide whether you should go to work, or to see your grandma, said Hayden. These tests are actually “comparable to PCR tests” when you have symptoms, added Hazra. But if you’re worried you have asymptomatic COVID-19 after you’ve been exposed to someone with a confirmed case, or you’ve been to a big event and are concerned that you got the virus, you should take a PCR test. Rapid tests often don’t pick up on asymptomatic cases, which could lead to a false negative test result.
“The best way to give yourself peace of mind is to get tested five days after exposure if you have no symptoms,” said Hazra. ‘You can go to a testing center or to your doctor for a PCR test,” Hazra added. The rapid tests most available in the U.S. are BinaxNOW tests by health care company Abbott Laboratories. But there is a cost barrier to these tests in the U.S. that isn’t found in Europe, said Hazra. In Denmark, a rapid test is available for the equivalent of $3, whereas in America a pack of two tests costs more than $20. “There’s still obviously an access issue,” said Hazra, particularly for communities hit the hardest by COVID-19, which are often working-class and may not be able to afford home tests. The test “has to be accessible for it to really make a difference,” added Hazra.
Weigh your specific circumstances. For people who are vaccinated, said Hazra, the vaccine should give them some “peace of mind,” because the likelihood of getting sick is small, and people who do have breakthrough infections will experience a milder form of the virus. But you should think about why you’re getting tested, according to Hayden. If you work from home and never go out, you don’t need to worry about getting tested, she said. But if you’re in contact with other people, especially those who are immunocompromised or not vaccinated, you should get tested regardless of your vaccination status. People who are immunocompromised also could be subject to specific caveats and complexities, said Hayden. Small studies have shown that some people who have kidney transplants, for example, have not developed antibodies after two, or even three vaccine doses.
These are people who could be particularly affected by those who transmit the disease. We need to think about the “chains of transmission,” Hayden said. If you have the virus, you might “expose someone who got a little sick, who then exposes someone else who got really sick,” said Hayden.
Good morning, Chicago. Illinois health officials on Thursday announced 3,526 new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 and 25 additional fatalities. Officials also say a total of 5,918,422 vaccines have now been administered. Meanwhile, as more and more people receive COVID-19 vaccines, many are wondering if vaccinated people can spread the virus. Here’s what scientists say.
Chicago public health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady warned Thursday that the statewide uptick in COVID-19 cases could cause a significant increase in illness, hospitalizations and deaths. Arwady said the growth in cases in Chicago is being driven primarily by young people. She said that as the numbers have increased here officials have been watching the spike that’s happening in Michigan.
The COVID-19 pandemic is changing. In one corner, the highly effective vaccines. In the other corner, the highly contagious Delta variant. The tug of war has led scientists to discover that some people are at higher risk of contracting Delta, and some common ways people catch COVID haven’t really changed. Read on to find out more—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss these Sure Signs You May Have Already Had COVID.
1. Being Unvaccinated. The COVID vaccines are still very protective against COVID infection and highly protective against severe illness, hospitalization and death. If you’re an unvaccinated adult, your risk is high and growing, particularly if you’re young. “If you are young and unvaccinated, it’s not probably a question of when, not if, you get COVID-19,” said Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, director of the Ohio Department of Health, on Sept. 21, about news that hospitalizations in the state had hit a record, and hospitalizations of those under 50 had doubled, since January.
2. Being Around Someone This Long After Infection. A study published last month in JAMA Internal Medicine found that people infected with the coronavirus were most infectious two days before and three days after the onset of symptoms, and that coming into contact with an asymptomatic person was more likely to result in an asymptomatic infection. All the more reason to follow the CDC’s recommendation to wear a face mask in public, regardless of your vaccination status, to protect yourself and others.
3. Indoor Restaurants and Bars. Since the beginning of the pandemic, health officials have warned that dining or drinking indoors is a major coronavirus risk. According to a study by the CDC, people who tested positive for coronavirus were twice as likely to have eaten at a restaurant in the previous two weeks. “People who are fully vaccinated can continue to go out to restaurants and bars, although they should wear a mask when they are not eating. We know that the Delta variant is highly contagious. At the same time, the vaccines are still very protective against severe illness,” Natasha Bhuyan, MD, a clinical assistant professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix told The Arizona Republic on Aug. 27. “The safest option for people who want to continue to go out is, go to restaurants and bars that require vaccines,” she said.
4. Living in a Low-Income Area. According to a study published in The Lancet on Sept. 2 (which involved more than a million UK residents who had gotten the Moderna, Pfizer or AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines), “breakthrough” COVID infections (or infections that occur after full vaccination) are rare, but they’re much higher for people living in lower-income areas. The researchers said that’s probably because people in those areas live in closer proximity and are less likely to be vaccinated.
5. Being Older As has been reported since the beginning of the pandemic, the biggest risk factor for COVID infection, serious illness and death is simply age. Although vaccinations have slashed the rates of severe sickness and death, the Lancet researchers found that older adults are still at greater risk of breakthrough infections. “The increased risks of breakthrough infections for frail, older adults — especially those living in care homes or who require frequent visits to health care facilities — and for other people living in deprived conditions reflect what we’ve seen throughout the pandemic. These groups are at a greater risk of exposure and are therefore more vulnerable to infection,” study co-author Dr. Rose Penfold of King’s College. “Health policies designed to prevent infections, including policies around timing between the first and second dose and potential booster shots, should prioritize these groups.”
6. How to Stay Safe Out There Follow the fundamentals and help end this pandemic, no matter where you live—get vaccinated ASAP; if you live in an area with low vaccination rates, wear an N95 face mask, don’t travel, social distance, avoid large crowds, don’t go indoors with people you’re not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don’t visit any of these 35 Places You’re Most Likely to Catch COVID.Does Xlear Nasal Spray really work to fight against COVID …
An Important New Covid-19 Study And a Specific Nasal Spray For Adjunctive Treatment of Covid-19 to Speed Recovery!
Previously on EC, I have mentioned using a nasal spray called “XLEAR” as an excellent nasal spray to help treat sinus infections and nasal issues in general. This product contains xylitol and grapefruit seed extract, which can kill certain bacteria, viruses, and both have biofilm busting qualities, all contributing to this nasal spray’s effectiveness. This new study also suggests that XLEAR may help treat an existing Covid-19 infection as an adjunctive treatment that shows potential to speed the recovery process, which could be useful and especially if you have other health issues which may be exacerbated by Covid-19 as lessening the duration of Covid-19 infection may help reduce the potential for worsening of the existing health condition.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7645297/ Just thinking aloud here, but I wonder if using Xlear before going into a crowded area might be useful??? I have used colloidal silver in this way previously, but Xlear is easier for most people to get and is reasonably priced plus you know what you are getting. When I use the colloidal silver, I just put it in a two-ounce spray bottle and spray generously into each nostril while inhaling, and I suspect I could do similarly with the Xlear product. Here is a link to the product: https://amzn.to/36BMXyw
Xlear spray is also available at CVS and most pharmacies. You want the product that contains both “grapefruit seed extract and xylitol.”
The study mentions that Xlear has shown antibacterial and antiviral properties, which potentially include SARS CoV-2. In Covid-19 patients, Xlear was reported to result in rapid clinical improvement and shorten time to negativization on repeat intranasal swab test via PCR. The clinical reports also lists how the nasal spray was implemented and the frequency of use. This study is very interesting and suggests a new and novel use for Xlear as an effective adjunctive treatment for Covid-19. Xlear filed a Pre-Emergency Use Authorization (Pre-EUA) Request with the FDA in December, comparing the use of nasal spray to handwashing and suggesting it could be used as part of a layered approach to combating the spread of the virus. While more research and data is needed, there are some promising results coming from initial studies.
Xlear’s Pre-EUA Request is based on initial data suggesting Xlear Nasal Spray may reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral load in the nose, and otherwise attenuate the virus. “Studies show that regular nasal cleansing may help reduce viral infections, including from the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19),” said Dr. Gustavo Ferrer, a doctor and global respiratory disease expert who has studied the use of Xlear Nasal Spray to combat SARS-CoV-2. Xylitol has been shown to have inhibitory properties versus SARS-CoV-2 in cell culture, in vitro according to another study. Xylitol is one of the ingredients of Xlear Nasal Spray and is also found in a wide variety of oral care products. Xlear has been used by millions of people over the last twenty years for cleansing and moisturizing the nasal cavities without a single report of a significant adverse event.
Now it may prove to be useful for more than just oral care.
MouthWash & Covid 19 · A Rutgers study shows two types of mouthwash disrupt SARS-CoV-2 in laboratory Researchers at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine have found evidence that two types of mouthwash disrupt the COVID-19 virus under laboratory conditions, preventing it from replicating in a human cell. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, people may notice their bad breath while wearing a mask since the foul smell can get trapped quite easily. If you’re one of the many people experiencing mask breath, LISTERINE ® can help you find relief, as it effectively kills 99.9% of bad breath germs when used properly. The structure of a SARS-CoV-2 (the virus particle causes COVID-19) is a big reason why mouthwash might be effective against it – so allow us to get into the science for a minute.
