Turns out you can’t even trust Johns Hopkins.

I’m now convinced that NO ONE can be trusted with anything pandemic related now, it’s all become far too politicized:

Massive spike in reported increase of COVID-19 deaths was skewed by old data

It’s this “huge spike” that is causing everyone to panic and reinstitute masking and all the other related BS Mad

sigmonkey had a rough time for awhile.


First couple of days, very mild. Then, well, I've been in bed since Thursday afternoon trying to sleep off the chills and lethargy. I really need to get moving but........at least the chills are gone. Loss of appetite too. Couldn't get through two eggs and Spam this morning.

And Arkansas Department of Health sent another text and no phone call. Whatever. It's Arkansas, thousands of cases every day.

Thank God I'm young and healthy.



Yep, all sounds familiar. Slight sniffles first day then 4 days of no appetite, bit of a loss of smell and taste, fevers at night that left me wringing wet, and a hellava cough. Things smoothed out a bit on day 5 but fevers and cough persisted until I finally called the Dr. on day 11. She prescribed some meds for the lungs but of course by then it had run it’s course and I didn’t need any. So lasted about two weeks and lost 10 pounds. But I am now “naturally” vaccinated! I ain’t taking theirs!

I would say John Hopkins was in on it before it even started. Check out Event 201 that predicted this whole pandemic before it arrived. Watch the videos and see how everything they said would happen is now happening.

After a handful of phone calls and txts today I learned that several people I know have tested positive in the last several days in the East Texas and North Louisiana areas (from greater DFW all the way to the Mississippi River, generally along the I20 corridor and the various adjacent metro areas).

This includes a mix of those who were vaccinated and those not, as well as a mix of children and adults (8, 10, and 17yo kids), and most of these particular adults are healthy Gen Xers, middle to upper class with ample access to treatment/Doctors/etc., not in any of the higher risk groups.

One's wife required some IV fluids at a hospital, but most just have the flu like symptoms so far in varying degrees, one can't taste things much already. Most of them had been being careful to hermit like...

One specific mother daughter combo drove from Monroe to Dallas and back last week for a school thing, but they didn't interact with the rest and most weren't travelling anywhere not local to them.

News has said it is a hot area. I now have direct confirmation of new positive tests and symptoms from locals in four cities along that route.

Be especially careful in those areas...

Separately, it is estimated that upwards of 100k people attended the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago on July 31st.

Some folks in Germany are taking a hard look at the costs and benefits of their governments COVID response…



Respiratory diseases, such as the symptomatic COVID-19 disease, have not been recorded to an extraordinary extent in Germany. A large number of studies have now shown that lethality and mortality are similar to influenza. An overload of the health care system has not even remotely occurred.

However, as is becoming increasingly clear, the government’s Corona measures have caused massive social, psychological, health, cultural and economic collateral damage. This is especially true of the lockdowns that have been imposed. Effects of these measures: Millions of additional unemployed and short-time workers, companies in bankruptcy, excess mortality among the isolated elderly, inadequate health care for the population due to a large number of postponed surgeries and doctor’s visits omitted out of fear, increased suicides, large increases in child abuse, traumatization and “new” fearful social behavior among people. Many fundamental rights were and continue to be restricted on the basis of hastily forced legal changes. The new applicable law empowers federal and state governments to restrict civil rights as needed even after this pandemic has ended, and democratic processes have been shortened and suspended (e.g., postponed elections). Our liberal democratic structures have been altered. Democracy has thus suffered great damage. Many people felt and still feel the measures to be degrading and incapacitating.

It is now necessary to carry out an objective and unsparing analysis of the overall situation, including the crisis management of the federal and state governments, in order to be as well prepared as possible for future pandemics in the sense of structured pandemic preparedness. This also includes a balance sheet or interim balance sheet of the damage that has occurred, which must be attributed to the virus or the prescribed measures in each case.

Time is of the essence because it is possible at any time that a virus event and/or suboptimal crisis management could lead to potentially avoidable damage and casualties.

It is simply not acceptable to wait for the establishment of a parliamentary committee of inquiry, which, as experience has shown, has a longer lead time. Therefore, since mid-July 2020, the Corona Committee has heard experts and witnesses in weekly meetings on a wide range of issues concerning the virus, crisis management and consequences. In particular, the collateral damage of the lockdown, which has been little evaluated to date, has been examined in greater detail.

The sessions are led by lawyers experienced in litigation. They are streamed live and remain available as a recording. Citizens can participate in the discussion by contributing via chat and email. The results of the committee’s work through August 23, 2020, are summarized in an interim report. Additional meetings will follow. A comprehensive final report with transcribed passages from the meetings and a rich collection of evidence is in progress.

All individuals involved are committed to the principles of scientific evidence and are willing to engage in factual discussion on the various topics without personal, scientific, or economic conflicts of interest

I found this on a website and thought it was a pretty good analysis. Even if it has some sarcasm.


●”If I get vaccinated can I stop wearing a mask(s)?”

Government: “NO”

●”If I get vaccinated will the restaurants, bars, schools, fitness clubs, hair salons, etc. reopen and will people be able to get back to work like normal?

Government: “NO”

●”If I get vaccinated will I be resistant to Covid?”

Government: “Maybe. We don’t know exactly, but probably not.”

●”If I get vaccinated, at least I won’t be contagious to others – right?”

Government: “NO. the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission.”

●”If I get vaccinated, how long will the vaccine last?”

Government: “No one knows. All Covid “vaccines” are still in the experimental stage.”

● “If I get vaccinated, can I stop social distancing?”

Government: “NO”

● “If my parents, grandparents and myself all get vaccinated can we hug each other again?”

Government: “NO”

● “So what’s the benefit of getting vaccinated?”

Government: “Hoping that the virus won’t kill you.”

●”Are you sure the vaccine won’t injure or kill me?”

Government: “NO”

●”If statistically the virus won’t kill me (99.7% survival rate), why should I get vaccinated?”

Government: “To protect others.”

●”So if I get vaccinated, I can protect 100% of people I come in contact with?”

Government: “NO”

● “If I experience a severe adverse reaction, long-term effects (still unknown) or die from the vaccine will I (or my family) be compensated from the vaccine manufacture or the Government?”

Government: “NO – the government and vaccine manufacturer’s have 100% zero liability regarding this experimental drug”

So to summarize, the Covid19 “vaccine”…

Does not provide immunity

Does not eliminate the virus

Does not prevent death

Does not guarantee you won’t get it

Does not stop you from passing it on to others

Does not eliminate the need for travel bans

Does not eliminate the need for business closures

Does not eliminate the need for lockdowns!!!

China locking down again as Delta variant sweeps country

This seems unusual for a country that has bragged about its vaccines and effectiveness in corralling COVID-19. The Associated Press reports that the Delta variant has now created outbreaks in half of China’s provinces and in 35 cities. As a result, Beijing has once again imposed shutdowns and mandatory testing regimes:

China suspended flights and trains, canceled professional basketball league games and announced mass coronavirus testing in Wuhan on Tuesday as widening outbreaks of the delta variant reached the city where the disease was first detected in late 2019.

While the total number of cases is still in the hundreds, they are far more widespread than anything China has dealt with since the initial outbreak that devastated Wuhan in early 2020 and over time spread to the rest of the country and the world.

China has not eliminated but largely curbed Covid-19 at home with quick lockdowns and mass testing to isolate infected people whenever new cases pop up. Most previous outbreaks didn’t spread far beyond a city or province. This time, cases have been confirmed in more than 35 cities in 17 of China’s 33 provinces and regions.

The cities of Nanjing and Yangzhou have canceled all domestic flights, and Beijing has halted long-distance trains from 23 stations. The Chinese Basketball Association said that matches of its men’s professional league would be suspended because of the pandemic.

How seriously should we take China’s reported-cases claims? If all they’re seeing is a caseload in the hundreds, they shouldn’t need this kind of wide and economically damaging response. Their totalitarian surveillance state should make contact tracing relatively easy, and containment of a few hundred cases across such a wide field shouldn’t be impossible without these kinds of broad actions.

China has insisted that it has succeeded in vaccinating wide swaths of the country. As of yesterday, China’s national health commission claimed it had administered almost 1.7 billion doses to its populace, enough to fully vaccinate nearly 900 million people in a population of 1.4 billion, which amounts to 64.3% — nearly enough to achieve herd immunity.

But immunity is the question. China’s using its own vaccines in this effort, at the same time that they’re exporting them to other countries in an effort to deploy “vaccine diplomacy.” Western vaccines have performed very well against the Delta variant, including here in the US, despite some media hysteria over an exceedingly small percentage of breakthrough cases. If China’s vaccines performed as well against COVID of any variety, Delta should be a low risk with almost 65% of their total population inoculated, especially given the lower risks among children who might not yet be inoculated at all. We already know from data in other countries — notably Chile, whose inoculation rate with China’s vaccines equals China’s own — that the Sinopharm and Sinovac vaccines are not effective.

US Automakers to Reinstate Mask Mandates at All Plants

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...-plants_3931319.html

Detroit’s Big Three automakers and the United Auto Workers (UAW) union said on Tuesday that they will reinstate the wearing of masks at all U.S. plants, offices, and warehouses, regardless of vaccination status, beginning on Wednesday.

General Motors Co, Ford Motor Co, and Stellantis NV said in a joint statement with the union the move is in response to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) change in COVID-19 guidance for masks for fully vaccinated people related to the Delta variant.

The CDC said last week that fully vaccinated people should wear masks indoors in public spaces in places with substantial or high COVID-19 community transmission rates. The CDC said on Monday that almost 80% of U.S. counties are now at those levels.

At least one major international automaker also plans to reinstate mask requirements for employees later this week, a person briefed on the matter told Reuters.

In June, the U.S. automakers and UAW announced that fully vaccinated workers at their U.S. factories would not have to wear masks on the job beginning on July 12. Numerous automakers operating in the United States had already begun lifting pandemic mask mandates as cases declined.

The mid-50s sister of a close friend (both in Louisiana) died last night from the virus.

She was unvaccinated but otherwise healthy, and isn't even in the group I mentioned yesterday.

I hope he's right on this and the Delta surge crashes quickly. What he describes matches what we are currently seeing in the ER; a rise in cases mostly unvaccinated, more pediatric cases, and mild cases in those that have been vaccinated.
