In a now viral video posted to Facebook, Moore shared her experience, documenting her positive coronavirus diagnosis on November 29, untimely discharge, and her eventual return back to the hospital. She noted that she had to beg her physician to treat her with the antiviral drug remdesivir as well as a CT scan of her neck and chest due to all the pain she was feeling. The doctor however, initially declined to do both and instead questioned Moore’s symptoms and suggested she should be discharged instead. The doctor would eventually oblige but only after medical tests revealed Moore did indeed have new pulmonary infiltrates in her lungs that warranted necessary and immediate attention.

[they did no good, the numbers keep rising]<br /><br />Public health measures have been the main tools at preventing infection and transmission of the virus. Wearing a face mask can reduce an individual's risk of infection by 70% [not according to the latest study]. With emergency use authorization of the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines [which means they were RUSHED and that the public are the guinea pigs], there is an opportunity to further decrease the risk of illness due to COVID-19 [but we're not taking that route].<br /><br />However, vaccines may give people a false sense of security [that they even WORK, let alone the side-effects] that masks are no longer needed [they never WERE]. Unfortunately, that is not the case [because Bill Gates is paying us big money to tell you this crap].<br /><br />Vaccination teaches the body how to successfully fight a virus without actually getting sick. [LIE; the body does it BY ITSELF]<br /><br />Vaccination does not provide instant immunity. [in fact, if it provides any "immunity" at all - it would be DUE TO the lucky event that your body developed the same anti-bodies to it (the vaccine) that the actual disease is made of - WHICH IS NOT THE CASE, because, outside of the labs they were engineered in, the virus has never been isolated (it's a bio-weapon)]<br /><br />Vaccination trials did not track whether participants wore masks.<br />[this is just ONE of the slipshod ways these vaccines were rolled out on an unsuspecting public]<br /><br />The real world does not mimic a controlled clinical trial [pfft - we just saw how "controlled" it was; so why bother getting the vaccine? You're taking a REAL RISK.]<br /><br />The duration of vaccine immunity is unknown [RIGHT, it won't be for very long, meaning you can get Covid again, so WHY BOTHER, since that's the case if you DON'T take the shot]<br /><br />It is unclear whether vaccines prevent transmission of COVID-19. [Are people really that stupid?

"We don't know of any natural way to compress electromagnetic energy into a single bin in frequency" such as this one, Siemion says. Perhaps, he says, some as-yet-unknown exotic quirk of plasma physics could be a natural explanation for the tantalizingly concentrated radio waves. But "for the moment, the only source that we know of is technological."<br /><br />Smith began sifting through the data in June of this year, but it was not until late October that he stumbled upon the curious narrowband emission, needle-sharp at 982.002 megahertz, hidden in plain view in the Proxima Centauri observations. From there, things happened fast — with good reason. "It's the most exciting signal that we've found in the Breakthrough Listen project, because we haven't had a signal jump through this many of our filters before," says Sofia Sheikh from Penn State University, who helmed the subsequent analysis of the signal for Breakthrough Listen and is the lead author on an upcoming paper detailing that work, which will be published in early 2021. Soon, the team began calling the signal by a more formal name: BLC1, for "Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1."<br /><br />"I think it's on par with the Wow! signal," she says. More likely than not, however, this is simply some previously unknown source of Earth-based interference. In a few months we'll likely know for certain one way or another. But for the time being, it's never aliens — right? "I hate that phrase, because if you say that, then why even look?" Wright says. "What we mean by that is that it's never been aliens before."

Mary Franson and state Sen. Scott Jensen released a video last week revealing that after reviewing thousands of death certificates in the state, 40% did not have COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death.<br /><br />"I have other examples where COVID isn't the underlying cause of death, where we have a fall. Another example is we have a freshwater drowning. We have dementia. We have a stroke and multiorgan failure," Franson said in the video.<br /><br />She added that in one case, a person who was ejected from a car was "counted as a COVID death" because the virus was in his system.<br /><br />"For 17 years, the CDC document that guides us as physicians to do death certificates has stood, but this year, we were told, through the Department of Health and the CDC, that the rules were changing if COVID-19 was involved." [uh . . BINGO]<br /><br />"If it's COVID-19, we're told now it doesn't matter if it was actually the diagnosis that caused death. If someone had it, they died of it," he said. [there ya go]<br /><br />In Tennessee, for example, a hospital retracted a death certificate for a man who tested negative for the virus three times but was listed as a victim of the pandemic.<br /><br />In Colorado, a county coroner's office pushed back against the state's claim that another victim, who tested positive for the virus, died of it in Montezuma County despite dying of alcohol poisoning.<br /><br />Franson and Jensen noted in their video that while the deaths attributed to the virus appear inflated, this does not mean the virus should be treated without caution.<br /><br />"The COVID-19 disease is real.

The Economic Consequences of Major Tax Cuts for the Rich, by David Hope and Julian Limberg, shows that the last 50 years were a period of falling taxes on the rich in the advanced economies. Major tax cuts were spread across countries and throughout the observation period but were particularly clustered in the late 1980s.<br /><br />“Our results show that…major tax cuts for the rich increase the top 1% share of pre-tax national income in the years following the reform. The magnitude of the effect is sizeable; on average, each major reform leads to a rise in top 1% share of pre-tax national income of 0.8 percentage points. The results also show that economic performance, as measured by real GDP per capita and the unemployment rate, is not significantly affected by major tax cuts for the rich. The estimated effects for these variables are statistically indistinguishable from zero.” [more]<br /><br /><br /><br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819564675299071481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-86398157692782868602020-12-26T08:18:23.766-06:002020-12-26T08:18:23.766-06:00Doctor reportedly has severe allergic reaction to ...Doctor reportedly has severe allergic reaction to Moderna COVID vaccine<br />https://www.yahoo.com/news/early-success-korea-sleepwalks-virus-014846598.html<br /><br />A Boston doctor suffered a serious allergic reaction to Moderna's coronavirus vaccine, the first of its kind documented, a report said Friday.<br /><br />Dr. Hossein Sadrzadeh, a geriatric oncologist at Boston Medical Center, became dizzy and felt his heart racing minutes after receiving the vaccine on Thursday, he told The New York Times.<br /><br />"It was the same anaphylactic reaction that I experience with shellfish," Dr. Sadrzadeh told the paper, noting that his tongue became numb, his blood pressure plummeted and he broke into a cold sweat.<br /><br />"I don't want anybody to go through that."
