Your Covid Factsheet (updated 24sep21)

George Rebane

The Swiss Policy Institute is a sober outfit that has helped compile a list of established facts about C19 and its pandemic (here).  Most of what you’ve read and heard about the disease is mired in politicized BS.  You have read a lot of the good stuff on RR posted by our readers and me.  But The Guardian has also published a compelling “crib sheet” of referenced facts and graphics which summarize what is known about Covid-SARS-2 (here)  Definitely worth a read so that you can be immunized against what comes out the lamestream and various government agencies and state houses.  (H/T to reader)

[24sep21 update]  NIH Publishes Study - Ivermectin works.  NIH has published on its website (here) an article in the July-August issue of the American Journal of Therapeutics that concluded that “large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin.”

And the American Journal of Therapeutics concludes (here) –

Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.

"Given the evidence of efficacy, safety, low cost, and current death rates, ivermectin is likely to have an impact on health and economic outcomes of the pandemic across many countries. Ivermectin is not a new and experimental drug with an unknown safety profile. It is a WHO “Essential Medicine” already used in several different indications, in colossal cumulative volumes. Corticosteroids have become an accepted standard of care in COVID-19, based on a single RCT of dexamethasone.1 If a single RCT is sufficient for the adoption of dexamethasone, then a fortiori the evidence of 2 dozen RCTs supports the adoption of ivermectin.

Ivermectin is likely to be an equitable, acceptable, and feasible global intervention against COVID-19. Health professionals should strongly consider its use, in both treatment and prophylaxis."

You heard it here first and often, and that through all the bullshit that the evil Democrats and their lamestream media tried to cover up with the resulting loss of hundreds of thousands of lives for which no one is responsible nor accountable – your government at work in peace and war.

[and more]  Led by Bumblebrain and the CDC, the government is still convincing those who don’t know any better that science speaks with a single voice, and that they are “following the science.”  The 24sep21 WSJ reports “Behind Booster Authorization Were Disagreements on Evidence, Broad Access" … The extra Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine doses are rolling out to certain fully vaccinated adults, after disputes inside the U.S. government and with its scientific adviser.”

GeorgeR, thanks for the link.

I did like this chart.

https://swprs.org/israel-highest-infection-rate-in-the-world/#foobox-2/0/israel-cases-vaccinated-unvaccinated.jpg

So after all this....masks not needed, masks needed. wash hands matters, wash hands no matter. Trump's fault. Don't drink bleach even though nobody said that. We're now at 'vaccines' are used purely (hopefully) to reduce symptoms.

About all that's come of COVID, besides Fauci's obvious complicity in letting it loose, is the disease's use as a political hammer. Anything that elects Democrats, increases immigration, and boosts the political power of Men-in-Dresses is a good thing. The folks that really run the government must be laughing their asses off.

It occurred to me that people, especially the 420th Volunteers, won't see the point of that chart.

If you are equally likely to get COVID whether you are 'vaccinated' or not, and the point is purely about decreasing your symptoms...

it's purely a personal matter.

The only person affected is the person who gets the shot.

Snippets from The Guardian's crib sheet (paragraph numbers shown):

11. Kary Mullis (inventor of PCR in 1985, Nobel Prize 1993, died Aug 7, 2019) said: PCR is just a process that allows you to make a whole lot of something out of something. It doesn’t tell you that you are sick, or that the thing that you ended up with was going to hurt you or anything like that.

13. Kary Mullis also: “If you have to go more than 40 cycles (i.e. using PCR for 40 replications/multiplications to produce a significant number of duplicated molecules of the Wuhan virus) there is something seriously wrong with your PCR."

15. They wrote a paper, "Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR", which was submitted for publication on January 21st 2020, and then accepted on January 22nd. Meaning the paper was allegedly “peer-reviewed” in less than 24 hours. A process that typically takes weeks.

Since then, a consortium of over forty life-scientists has petitioned for the withdrawal of the paper, writing a lengthy report detailing 10 major errors in the paper’s methodology.

19. Experts estimate 40-50% of ventilated patients die, regardless of their disease. Around the world, between 66 and 86% of all “Covid patients” put on ventilators died.

20. One meta-analysis published by the CDC in May 2020 found “no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks”.

I still go with a late Aug-early Sep 2019 start of the virus, based on the large increase of cars in 5 Wuhan hospitals' parking lots. https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/42669767/Satellite_Images_Baidu_COVID19_manuscript_DASH.pdf?sequence=3&isAllowed=y.

[24sep21 update] NIH Publishes Study - Ivermectin works

So, why wasn't this reported throughout the land of the free? It was "Published online 2021 Jun 21" in the Amer J of Therapeutics. That was 3 months ago.

OK, you already guessed the answer - the large free press orgs don't have access to the internet! Who knew!

A Covid therapy derived from a llama named Fifi has shown "significant potential" in early trials.

It is a treatment made of "nanobodies", small, simpler versions of antibodies, which llamas and camels produce naturally in response to infection.

Once the therapy has been tested in humans, scientists say, it could be given as a simple nasal spray - to treat and even prevent early infection. Coronavirus-infected rodents treated with the new nanobody nasal spray fully recovered within six days.

It took FBI agents 7 days to recover - evidently they had not been rodentized sufficiently.

'The Botched Crisis on Our Hands'

"Meanwhile, in India deaths and hospitalizations from the Wuhan virus have plummeted. Why? Because the government of India permitted the widespread use of Ivermectin to treat early cases. See the graphs here and be prepared to be astonished."

It's a miracle!

Pfizermectin is about to enter phase 2/3 trials (compressed) as a COVID-19 treatment!

Gregory 803am - Hang in there Greg. Thanks for the good find on Pfizer's ivermectin lookalike.

[The Estonian Fox]

Gregory @7:46 AM-

Prices in India:
Ivermectol-3 Ivermectin 3mg Tablets. Cost = ₹ 53/ Strip of 10 Tablets (in rupees)

For those of you not up on global currency exchange rates, that comes to US$0.71 for 10 tablets of 3 mg of the BIG I.

At that rate of exchange, Uncle Joe's $3.5T infrastructure bill could be done for maybe US$1.25. So he may just be right about it costing only zero dollars. I bet the Tangerine Tornado would volunteer to pick up the bill at that price.

Gives a new meaning to the GINI index - Government Involved in Nixing Ivermectin.

Speaking of which.

"Critics slam Twitter fact check of obituary attributing young mother's death to vaccine"

https://www.yahoo.com/now/critics-slam-twitter-fact-check-175547938.html

...crazy. Of course the anti-COVID shots have some measurable risk. The real crime here is Blue Mob censorship. Unbelievable.
