WaPo finds one sucka in Michigan to say how bad C19 hospitalizations are when 84% of beds statewide are occupied by non-COVID patients

"We don't have a darker color," said Darryl Elmouchi, president of Spectrum Health West Michigan. "So if we're red now, what are we in two weeks?" ...

Spectrum reported more than 370 people hospitalized with covid last week. The system has converted floors and tripled its intensive care unit space, yet there are still patients waiting for beds. Conference space and shared workspaces have been identified for conversion if the surge continues as expected. Elmouchi described the situation as "almost unmanageable."

More. 

The third graph shows 16% of Michigan hospital beds occupied by COVID patients right now.

Who's in the other 84%?

The way you manage a real emergency is to stop filling beds with people getting elective procedures. That they aren't doing this in general tells you they are exaggerating.

COVID patients don't make the hospitals any money. That's the real reason they are complaining. The COVID pandemic cuts into the hospitals' bottom line.

You should see the outpatient eye surgery operation at Grand Rapids Ophthalmology lately. They herd them in and out like cattle, performing cataract surgeries like crazy. The pandemic isn't stopping them one bit.

They've had plenty of time to prepare for this inevitable seasonal wave, but instead they placed their faith in a vaccine which didn't stop the spread. Big Pharma, Big Healthcare, and Big Fauci make suckers of us all:

At this point in the pandemic, months after the shots became widely available, the state's health-care workers expected to see occasional ebbs and flows in case numbers. But not at this level.

"I think all of us had hoped that with relatively reasonable vaccination rates - and a year-plus under our belt - we would not get another surge like this," Elmouchi said.

Idiotic "Governments are considering a fresh round of restrictions, largely against the unvaccinated, to try and curb the spread" when it's the vaccinated who also keep spreading the disease

Scientists in South Africa are studying a recently identified new coronavirus variant that is a cause for serious concern, stoking fears the country may face a potentially severe fourth wave that could spread internationally. ... 

The findings come as several European countries battle a renewed surge in Covid-19 case numbers, with hospitals in some German cities starting to feel the strain. Governments are considering a fresh round of restrictions, largely against the unvaccinated, to try and curb the spread. South Africa is currently on the lowest level of lockdown measures, though the new variant prompted the cabinet and coronavirus council to call a meeting for the weekend.

The small British protectorate of Gibraltar is closing in on 16k booster doses administered to date since Oct 10 after fully vaccinating the entire island by May 1, but the virus is spreading anyway.

The mRNA vaccines are dangerous to the human heart at ANY AGE and should be banned immediately

Abstract 10712: Mrna COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning:

 

Our group has been using the PULS Cardiac Test (GD Biosciences, Inc, Irvine, CA) a clinically validated measurement of multiple protein biomarkers which generates a score predicting the 5 yr risk (percentage chance) of a new Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).

The score is based on changes from the norm of multiple protein biomarkers including IL-16, a proinflammatory cytokine, soluble Fas, an inducer of apoptosis, and Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF)which serves as a marker for chemotaxis of T-cells into epithelium and cardiac tissue, among other markers.

Elevation above the norm increases the PULS score, while decreases below the norm lowers the PULS score.

The score has been measured every 3-6 months in our patient population for 8 years.

Recently, with the advent of the mRNA COVID 19 vaccines (vac) by Moderna and Pfizer, dramatic changes in the PULS score became apparent in most patients.

This report summarizes those results.

A total of 566 pts, aged 28 to 97, M:F ratio 1:1 seen in a preventive cardiology practice had a new PULS test drawn from 2 to 10 weeks following the 2^nd COVID shot and was compared to the previous PULS score drawn 3 to 5 months previously pre- shot.

Baseline IL-16 increased from 35=/-20 above the norm to 82 =/- 75 above the norm post-vac; sFas increased from 22+/- 15 above the norm to 46=/-24 above the norm post-vac; HGF increased from 42+/-12 above the norm to 86+/-31 above the norm post-vac.

These changes resulted in an increase of the PULS score from 11% 5 yr ACS risk to 25% 5 yr ACS risk.

At the time of this report, these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vac.

We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.

Color me skeptical: Firewood prices said to be soaring

$67-$83 a face-cord for seasoned mixed hardwoods doesn't sound that high to me, but $158 for hickory would. The former were common many years ago already.

I come up with $612 for the 1776 cord through 2020, a quibble.

 

At Firewood by Jerry in New River, Arizona, a cord of seasoned firewood — roughly 700 pieces or so — goes for US$200 today. That’s up 33 per cent from a year ago. At Zia Firewood in Albuquerque, the price is up 11 per cent since the summer to US$250. And at Standing Rock Farms in Stone Ridge, a bucolic, little town in the Hudson Valley that’s become popular with the Manhattan set, the best hardwoods now fetch US$475 a cord, up 19 per cent from last year. ...

Over the course of American history, there have been any number of booms in the firewood business. One of the earliest episodes came during the British siege of Boston at the outset of the Revolutionary War. That winter, the price of a cord — a centuries-old benchmark measuring 128 cubic feet — soared to US$20, the historian David McCullough documented in his book “1776.” That’s the equivalent of some $635 in today’s dollars ... just about every major spike in energy prices in the past half century has triggered a rush into wood-burning among some segments of the population. These fevers invariably fade as soon as the energy crisis does.

Facts vs. hysteria: Pandemic year 1 vs. pandemic year 2 to date

If you date the start of the pandemic from the first announced US death on Feb 29, 2020, the first year of the pandemic looks like this:

1402 deaths per day, 78208 cases per day.

 

(There were already 70 cases by 2/29/20, but they have been included in the total anyway.) 

For the 265 days since Feb 28, 2021, the second year of the pandemic to date looks like this:

969 deaths per day, 71838 cases per day.

Deaths are down a whopping 31%, cases a much more modest 8%.

 

The Hill is showcasing the 2021 death toll to date exceeding the 2020 death toll, which is true, and is politically convenient to Joe Biden's opponents, but this completely misses how things are moving in the right direction.

 

Joe Biden famously promised to shut down the virus and not the country. He has not done the former and may in fact do the latter, for which he ought to be held responsible by booting his sorry ass.

 

But that's an entirely different matter.

 

Meanwhile the terrible outcomes predicted by experts from the still dominant India variant, for whatever reasons, are not panning out. At least not yet.

 

 

 

LOL Shaun King: Join BLM, get a free n-word pass

 

Meanwhile in 79% fully vaccinated Spain: Spread of COVID-19 "has raised concerns", lol

European nations are seeing Covid cases explode, with nations bringing in tough new measures and warnings of widespread lockdowns:

While Spain’s vaccination rates are positive – with 79 per cent of the population having both jabs – the Covid rates are rising.

The country has reported 88.6 cases per 100,000 over 14 days, a jump of 67 per cent, according to El Pais.

This is much lower than other badly hit European destinations such as Germany and Belgium, but the spike has raised concerns about the efforts to slow the spread.  

Spain achieved the 79% fully vaccinated threshold on Oct 10. Even that level did not eradicate cases, and now they are rising again.

 

 

 

 

 

The vaccine peddlers like Anthony Fauci insisted multiple times that the 50% level would prevent a surge in cases. Europe is 57% fully vaccinated, yet look at that headline.

Boosters will be the next panacea. And Eric Topol now insists we must have 90-95% vaccinated.

"The science has changed" is simply sanctification of moving the goalposts.

Meanwhile Africa, hardly 7% fully jabbed, is making monkeys of the wizards of smart. 

But no one asks, Why?

Welcome to The Planet of the Apes.

 

The powers that be insist the boosters will stop transmission when the first two jabs have not

Axios:

But boosters dramatically increase protection against infection, which can help reduce the spread of the virus.

Gibraltar, 100% vaccinated with Pfizer since the spring, did not escape the summer outbreak.

And with 35% already given the booster from early October, they are having an even bigger outbreak now.

Three jabs, but the virus still spreads.

The insanity is remarkable.

 

 

 

Pandemic of the jabbed in Gibraltar: Clearest evidence yet that vaccination does not stop the spread, including now with boosters

100% of Gibraltar's ~40k residents were fully vaccinated by May 1, but infections took off again starting around Jul 1, as in many places invaded by the India variant.

The current, larger outbreak than in July coincides almost exactly with the commencement of its booster shot program after Oct 10. Over 14k booster doses have been administered so far.

95% of Gibraltar's 98 deaths to date had occurred already by mid-March, lending support to the idea that vaccination prevents bad outcomes, if not infection and spread.

Gibraltar is using Pfizer.

 

$2.2 trillion Build Back Butter bill Democrats insisted would cost nothing CBO estimates would cost $367 billion over ten years

 

 

 

 

 

 

So-called Democrat moderates in the House voted for it anyway, 220-213, undermining Republican claims their votes could be peeled away once the infrastructure bill had been passed separately.

Between the $250 billion cost of the infrastructure bill and the $367 billion cost of the Build Back Better bill, the optimistic CBO estimated combined ten year costs will dig a $617 billion hole in addition to the $6.8 TRILLION in fiscal year deficits for 2020 and 2021 spent since the onset of the pandemic to alleviate it.

The pandemic spending orgy, which was bipartisan, makes this all seem like a kerfuffle about relatively little.

Already pared back from $3.5 trillion or more in spending, the BBB faces an uncertain future in the Senate. The wild spending dreams of progressives may have been dashed, but anyone who pretends any of this makes any sense is crazy.

The country is currently holding at $28.9 TRILLION in debt, and is set to explode higher pending the raising of the debt ceiling. 

From the story: 

The final outcome wasn't much in doubt after centrist Democrats' deficit concerns largely melted away.

The vote came hours after the Congressional Budget Office issued its official cost estimate of the sweeping legislation, which moderate Democrats eagerly awaited to ease their concerns over the fiscal impact. The Biden administration and Democratic backers of the bill have insisted it would pay for itself and not add to federal deficits.

The nonpartisan CBO, the official scorekeeper, offered a cost estimate with a little wiggle room. It said the measure would increase deficits by $367 billion over 10 years — but that doesn't count additional revenue that could come from increased IRS tax enforcement.

How much new revenue that effort would yield has been hotly debated. The White House has said increased enforcement, aided by an additional $80 billion in IRS funding, would produce $480 billion in new revenue over a decade. The CBO took a more cautious view, saying the effort might produce $207 billion.

These CDC assholes are still out of control: Smallpox vials found in undisclosed lab in Pennsylvania

Philadelphia — Federal health authorities on Wednesday confirmed the discovery of some frozen vials labeled "Smallpox" in a freezer at a facility in Pennsylvania that conducts vaccine research. ...

There are two sites designated by the World Health Organization where stocks of variola virus are stored and used for research: the CDC facility in Atlanta and a center in Russia. ...

In July 2014, officials said a government scientist cleaning out an old storage room at a Bethesda, Maryland, research center found six decades-old glass vials containing freeze-dried smallpox samples packed away and forgotten in a cardboard box. Officials called it the first discovery of unaccounted-for smallpox in the country.

Indonesia is barely 31% fully vaxxed, yet daily new cases per million has returned to baseline anyway

 

My condolences to your theory, Eric Topol.

Tell your employer to go pound sand: OSHA has ceased implementation of the vaccine mandate and it's right there on its coronavirus page

 

So, as if things aren't bad enough for the mRNA vaccines, now we learn Pfizer lied about the number of deaths in the trials

All cause mortality was much HIGHER in the vaccine group than in the placebo group (24%) according to this November 8, 2021 "Summary Basis for Regulatory Action" than Pfizer reported on July 28, 2021 in its "Six Month Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID" (During the blinded, controlled period, 15 BNT162b2 and 14 placebo recipients died, which already suggested no benefit from vaccination):

From Dose 1 through the March 13, 2021 data cutoff date, there were a total of 38 deaths, 21 in the COMIRNATY group and 17 in the placebo group. None of the deaths were considered related to vaccination.

 

The conclusion is you are 24% more likely to die from all causes if you get the jab than if you don't.

 

 

Israeli study of 1.3 million shows mRNA vaccine effectiveness wanes in 4-6 months in the same way for everyone regardless of age: So you're going to jab 5 year olds every six months?

LOL Canada, which was 60% fully jabbed by the beginning of August, got creamed by Delta anyway

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ratio of Pfizer to Moderna administered in Canada is currently 3.5:1.

Canada disproves Eric Topol's alarms about Delta. He calls Delta so formidable and hyper-contagious that 90-95% vaccine coverage is required. 

At a level far less than that, however, Delta came, and more importantly went, in Canada, as if the vaccines made not the slightest bit of difference.

Virus gonna virus.

LOL India, home of the Delta variant, has as few daily new cases per million with 26.6% of its population fully jabbed as it did when fewer than 0.1% were back in February

But Eric Topol doesn't want to talk about that, because it doesn't fit the narrative.

He'd rather talk about Japan, which made "full return to baseline after their worst outbreak, by the combination of high level of vaccination and the continued use of masks and mitigation measures."

How did India do it, Eric?

 

 

Totalitarian extremism to the right and to the left: Some say everyone must get infected, some say everyone must get the jab

                                           I say nyet.

LOL, expert Eric Topol: 74% vaccinated isn't enough, gotta get to 90-95%

 In The Grauniad:

Noteworthy is Belgium with 74% fully vaccinated and one of the hardest-hit countries in the world, now at 79/100,000, currently 10th highest caseload globally. That alone tells us 74% isn’t enough, and that prior Covid (without vaccination, what some refer to as “natural immunity”) is unreliable for representing a solid immunity wall against the Delta variant. In fact, it has been projected for Delta that any country needs to achieve 90-95% of its total population fully vaccinated (or with recent Covid) in order to have population-level immunity that covers, providing relative protection, for the others.

Actually what it tells us is that the Pfizer vaccine, which is what Belgium overwhelmingly uses, does not stop the spread. 

The CDC and Anthony Fauci have held since late in 2020 that the reproduction rate for COVID-19 of 2.5 means a 60% vaccination level should stop the pandemic. 

The vaccines haven't done that. 

The United States is 57.6% fully vaccinated to date, plus 13.9% who have survived infection to date, thus 71.5% "immune".

Yet here we are, into the sixth wave:

 It's Eric Topol who is in denial.

Massachusetts shouldn't have had a Delta surge at all, and neither should the United States as a whole

We have known since July 30th from the Provincetown, MA outbreak on July 4th that the vaccines do not stop the spread, but the insane powers that be continue to insist that the jab is all we need.

Since the CDC considers the basic reproduction number for this disease to be 2.5, herd immunity should have been achieved in Massachusetts at about 60% fully vaccinated/survived infection. This is why Anthony Fauci had kept insisting that getting the country to 50% would prevent a surge.

But on July 4th Massachusetts was already at 71.9% fully vaccinated/survived infection (692k total announced cases minus total announced deaths, 4.28 million fully vaccinated, population of 6.912 million). 

If the vaccines work to inhibit spread, which is what people expect of a vaccine worthy of the name, Massachusetts shouldn't have had a Delta surge after July 4th AT ALL, let alone the high level of daily new cases it has experienced continuously since then.

And in the United States as a whole on July 4th, the fully vaccinated plus those who survived infection totaled 193.787 million, or 58.3% of the population of 332.4 million.

The Delta surge shouldn't have happened in the country at large either, if the vaccines work as INCESSANTLY sold to us.

They obviously do not inhibit spread, but because people commonly think that they do, the pandemic continues.

We're insane.

 

LOL Ireland: 74.5% fully vaccinated against C19 by October 7, daily new cases per million UP 263% five weeks later anyway

Carbon emissions from the Glasgow climate conference are expected to reach more than double the amount pumped into the atmosphere during the last COP, The Scotsman can reveal, with the event on track to be the most polluting summit of its kind. A report produced for the UK Government states that COP26 is on course to emit around 102,500 tonnes of CO2e. Around 60 per cent of the emissions – about 61,500 tCO2e – come solely from international flights, an issue that has dogged the event in light of the widespread use of private jets by delegates.... The 102,500 tCO2e figure means COP26’s carbon footprint is nearly three times that of Glasgow Airport, which reported total emissions of 36,885 tCO2e last year.
