It’s why it’s better to register copyrights of your comments as news of attacks with the descriptions about those input you seek to forfeit not only the integrity of exactly as you are, but, also, seek to set precedents for that, so as you seek to justify to do that to others, onto those others, while seeking to coerce me into doing that to them, as you would have it done to yourself, most likely due to previous actions from your parts.

I also can’t hide your intents and also do not only report it but also register copyrights for it due to damage and harm intended and the levels of such harms intended which harm is intended to be diverted on to me, despite the security measures implemented which you seek to circumvent by association.

Accusations of complicity can arise in a number of contexts:

Direct complicity — when a company provides goods or services that it knows will be used to carry out the abuse
Beneficial complicity — when a company benefits from human rights abuses even if it did not positively assist or cause them
Silent complicity — when the company is silent or inactive in the face of systematic or continuous human rights abuse. (This is the most controversial type of complicity and is least likely to result in legal liability)

Spanish flu

Pandemic

Description

The Spanish flu, also known as the 1918 influenza pandemic, was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic caused by the H1N1 influenza A virus. Lasting from February 1918 to April 1920, it infected 500 million people – about a third of the world’s population at the time – in four successive waves. Wikipedia

Deaths: 17–100 million (estimates)

Virus strain: Strains of A/H1N1

Suspected cases‡: 500 million (estimate)

Disease: Influenza

Number of deaths: 50,000,000

Start date: 1918

In the last 150 years the world has seen an unprecedented improvement in health. The visualization shows that in many countries life expectancy, which measures the average age of death, doubled from around 40 years or less to more than 80 years. This was not just an achievement across these countries; life expectancy has doubled in all regions of the world.

It seems that oxygen is escaping from the Earth’s Atmosphere, from holes in Ozone Layers.

Which Oxygen, if it does escape from there, which is potentially the case, we may never get back.

So, too many launches damaging the Ozone layer has the effect of causing Oxygen problems.

Also, if the Earth had more Oxygen when a Celestial body hit the earth causing a Cataclysm, wouldn’t the entry burn the Ozone Layer in such a big hole as to cause that 50%+ extra Oxygen percent escape from the Ozone layer hole in the Earth’s Atmosphere, which rockets do burn when escaping Earth’s Atmosphere.

What better ways and increased efficiency can we find to improve that level of repair of the Ozone layer, besides the use of Turn-Ons words, in more scientifically and measurable levels of repair.?.

It is also of astronomical proportions due to the astronomy required to so launch rockets into space.

Additionally,
it would be easier to mine from the Moon and Asteroid and Mars to implement rockets to be launched from out of earth atmosphere so as to avoid this double Ozone burning effect, from launching and re-entry.

Except the vaccines work on the UK variant. In fact the UK variant, because it is treatable and has a vaccine is helping us by being dominant over other variants which could be more vaccine resistant.

DrysonBennington · April 26, 2021, 7:34pm

Here’s a question for ya Foambreaker. After reading through all of Lilsteels posts, especially the posts that talk about his family and lawyers and secret police, why haven’t you attacked Lilsteels posts for being fake?

The link isn’t fake. The link goes directly to CNBC’s website.

A list of all of the variants of Covid-19.

At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that these or any other strains of the COVID-19 virus are resistant to the current vaccines.

Covid-19 is not a virus.

Covid-19 is the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Just the disease AIDS, is caused by HIV, a virus.

DrysonBennington · April 26, 2021, 8:03pm

Another big question that needs answered is, since the SARS-CoV-2 virus originated in China, why isn’t China leading the way in developing a vaccine?

I haven’t seen any articles related to China even trying to develop a vaccine, even though China is the number one country on Earth that studies Coronavirises because China is usually the center of all Coronavirus outbreaks.

So where is the vaccine from China?

Another issue that most are not even aware of is the low efficacy of Sinovac, the Chinese develope Covid-19 vaccine.

With Egypt giving the go ahead to use Sinovac and due to the low efficacy of Sinovac, I would speculate that Egypt and the Middle East in general, who use Sinovac will see consistent levels of Covid-19 and deaths along with an Egyptian variant of Covid-19 emerging, much like the UK variant did.

With Europe possibly opening back up to vaccinated Americans only, the possibility of a potential Egyptian variant of Covid-19 making its way to the U.S. is very likely.

Not to mention Sinovac being used in Brazil which isn’t that fare away or as far away as the virus infects.

Expect the pandemic to continue for many years.

Map of the vaccination efforts in Ohio.

Coronavirus First Discovered in the U.S. in 1962 at the University of Chicago.

All the article is telling us is that Coronavirus, not the Influenza virus that Covid is often labeled as because Influenza sounds like the lesser of two evils for the purpose population control, was first detected in the 1960’s.

The former president of the U.S. called the outbreak a flu. A flu however has a vaccine. Covid back then like it is today, did not react to antibodies like Flu would have reacted.

Therefore the former president of the U.S. did not do anything to investigate the unusual outbreak but simply labeled the out break as a flu because doing so was easier and cheaper then actually doing research.

First human coronavirus isolated at UChicago more than 50 years ago - UChicago Medicine.

On average, the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic has caused 1,332 deaths in U.S. on a daily basis.

Right now the death stands at 578,356 dead.

If the average remains the same +/- 150 deaths a day, the U.S. will see an additional 41, 292 deaths due to Covid-19 by the end of May, 2021.

If the average number of deaths remains the same, are the vaccines working?

According to The Guardian , the term has been used since at least 2004,[2] and appeared in religious academic works in 2011[3] and 2010.[4] However, an earlier, indirect usage, in which the meaning is nevertheless clear, may be found in David Foster Wallace’s essay “Tense Present,” published in Harper’s Magazine in 2001: “PCE [Politically Correct English] functions primarily to signal and congratulate certain virtues in the speaker …”[5]

According to an article in The Spectator in 2015, British journalist James Bartholomew is often credited with originating the term.[6] Bartholomew claimed credit for its creation in later articles.[7] Merriam-Webster editor Emily Brewster describes virtue signalling as an academic-sounding counterpart to the term humblebrag , a term coined by Harris Wittels in 2010.[8]

Opinion

Psychologists Jillian Jordan and David Rand argue that virtue signalling is separable from true outrage towards a particular belief, but that in most cases individuals who are virtue signalling are in fact simultaneously experiencing true outrage.[9] Linguist David Shariatmadari argues in The Guardian that the very act of accusing someone of virtue signalling is an act of virtue signalling in itself, and that its overuse as an ad hominem attack during political debate has rendered it a meaningless political buzzword.[2] Zoe Williams, also writing for The Guardian, suggested the phrase was the “sequel insult to champagne socialist”.[10]

Usage

Virtue signalling rose in popularity as a pejorative term, denouncing empty acts of public commitment (such as slacktivism and pathological altruism) to unexceptional good causes.[citation needed] Virtue signalling may incorporate some or all elements found in political correctness, self-righteousness, and moral superiority. In Bartholomew’s original article, he describes virtue signalling as a public act with very little associated cost that is intended to inform others of one’s socially acceptable alignment on an issue.[6]

Pathological altruism

Pathological altruism is when altruism is taken to an unhealthy extreme, and either harms the altruistic person, or well-intentioned actions cause more harm than good.

The term “pathological altruism” was popularised by the book Pathological Altruism.

Examples include depression and burnout seen in healthcare professionals, an unhealthy focus on others to the detriment of one’s own needs, hoarding of animals, and ineffective philanthropic and social programs that ultimately worsen the situations they are meant to aid.[45]

Social media

Angela Nagle in her book Kill All Normies described the internet reactions to the Kony 2012 viral video as “what we might now call ‘virtue signaling’”, and that “the usual cycles of public displays of outrage online began as expected with inevitable competitive virtue signaling” in the aftermath of the killing of Harambe.[11] B. D. McClay wrote in The Hedgehog Review that signalling particularly flourished in online communities. It was unavoidable in digital interactions, because they lacked the qualities of offline life, such as spontaneity. When one filled out a list of one’s favorite books for Facebook, one was usually aware of what that list said about oneself.[12]

Blackout Tuesday, a collective action that was intended to combat racism and police brutality that was carried out on June 2, 2020, largely by businesses and celebrities through social media in response to the killings of several black people by police officers, was criticized as a form of virtue signalling for the initiative’s “lack of clarity and direction”.[13]

Marketing

In addition to individuals, companies have also been accused of virtue signalling in marketing, public relations and brand communication.[14] Conspicuous consumption has been described as a form of consumer virtue signalling,[15][16] and the pre-conceived bias of end users may complicate business data gathering.

Definitions from Oxford Languages

–
Virtue signalling occurs when people misrepresent the physiological nature of the virus and , increase the risk posed from it by not taking necessary measures to control it.

Every time that this happened caused more and worse adverse effect.

Even people attacking communication and trying to hide the source of their attacks which makes it more efficient to either agents to analyze them or investigate them as, if they have something to hide, they will sure attempt to attack integrity of communication to seek to control by attacking and seek to interfere against the parties integrity.

They also like to create false threats and make false threats assessment, and try to administer such project in favor or better and more efficient systems, while trying to portray themselves as having their rights violated when in fact they are protected and people who gave their life through affliction ended up having their descendants be further abused from it, by intending to take those afflictions out of context and even try to make themselves look good,
with the same virtue signalling.

In fact, to make false claims of virtue is not a virtue.
To take virtue out of context when the risk for the disclosure of such virtue is greater than the benefit caused to public interest and brought to public interest is not virtue either…

It is the vice of Pride which does lead to death.

The one vice that cannot be forgiven is despair.
It is when those attacking make false claims of attacks against them, in desperation for damage caused to them, while seeking redress and trying to forfeit all work done to help those same people, no matter with how much work for the last 200,000 years, that the work is forfeited as they sought it to be.

Their desperation, which they themselves cause and bring on themselves shall not and cannot be forgiven.

That is why they cannot be held accountable for it, because no amount of work will save them.

The risk in India and China are the population levels and higher concentration.

In places like New York and Macau / Macao ,
“With a population of about 680,000[8] and an area of 32.9 km2 (12.7 sq mi), it is the most densely populated region in the world.”,
their problem is the higher density and also, financial situation.

Hospitals in India are not using the same supplies quality, and the equipment is also not the same, and they run out of liquid oxygen too.

CDC to drop PCR Ct for post vaccination covid testing to 28.

“one set of rules for me, another for thee”

el gato malo

Apr 29 _ [47] Likes 19 _ Comments

we have long known 2 things:

sequencing genetic samples at a PCR Ct of 40 is a vastly oversensitive test
the CDC and FDA have been putting thumbs on the scales every way they can

well, this is not a thumb, this is a full forearm. they are about to completely rig the societal-scale vaccine results and render them non-comparable by dropping the Ct from 40 (used for everyone thus far and, apparently, still to be used for the unvaccinated people) to 28 for those who have been vaccinated. you can see the new guidance HERE.

excerpt:

28 vs 40 Ct is a staggering difference. that’s 12 doublings.

this would mean that those who are not vaccinated will have their samples amplified 4,096X as much as those who were vaccinated.

the data will be completely non-comparable. this is not even apples and oranges, it’s apples and orangutans.

for those not familiar, PCR is performed because samples of mucus or saliva may not have enough viral genetic material to be detected. so a primer catalyzed heating and annealing process is used to amplify it (PCR-RT). each amplification doubles the source material from previous. so, it works like this:

the number of times it is amplified is called the cycle threshold (Ct). obviously, the more you amplify it, the more sensitive the test winds up being and the more likely it is to pick up non-clinical virus, viral fragments, etc and give a reading that is not exactly a false positive, as it did find RNA, but rather a false clinical positive (FCP) which means that it found non-viable virus material.

the gold standard test for this is to take the viral material and culture it. if the virus is “live” it will replicate. if not, it will remain inert which means that it cannot either make you ill or infect anyone else. no culture, no risk.

this has long been known and known to be an issue. the NYT published on it. so has the WHO (see more in the middle of this PIECE subsection “a word on PCR”) this was also baked into all the vaccine trials. they did not accept a positive PCR as a “case” they required symptomatic confirm.

now, they want to stack the deck still further and use a test that is 1/4000th the amplification to evaluate the vaccinated while continuing to use a massively over sensitive test to evaluate everyone else.

the variance on this rapidly becomes surreal and pretty much no one has managed to culture live virus from a sample requiring more than a 34 CT (and that is in absolutely perfect conditions). other recent STUDIES have failed to cultivate live virus above a 24 Ct. that’s 1/65,536 the the amplification of the 40 Ct used so commonly on the asymptomatic.

i mean, look, i am ALL for lowering the Ct on the covid tests. this should have been done from the start and only those people with symptoms should ever have been tested. this has been a crazy misuse of the test and had led to case, hospitalization, and deaths counts FAR in excess of any sort of remote reality.

had we used a 25 Ct from day one and only tested symptomatic (as much of asia did) the case count would have dropped by 70% at a bare minimum. 80-90% seems more likely given the reported asymptomatic rates. dropping PCR Ct to such a level has always made sense and will end this casedemic in big hurry.

if we’re going to do that, great, but to do it just for the vaccinated and not for the rest is straight up malfeasance.

the whole point of reporting post vaccination cases is to assess vaccine efficacy. to assess that efficacy, you need to compare it to a control set of either the unvaccinated or comprised of historical data. all that data came/will come from a test that was over 4,000X as amplified. this slants the outcomes incredibly toward vaccines and worse, queers the data so badly in one direction by an amount that cannot be predicted or adjusted out as to render it useless.

this is third grade science fair level stuff.

there is simply no possible way that any remotely reputable or knowledgeable researcher would advocate, allow, or accept this. it makes performing a meaningful comparison impossible and worse, it forever taints the data that’s gathered. if we do this, we are literally NEVER going to know if vaccines worked. NEVER.

i can think of no non-nefarious reason to choose this other than rank incompetence, and honestly, i’m struggling to even accept that one. not even the CDC is this bungling.

literally any scientist or lab tech would know not to do this.

of course, literally any politician or crony capitalist looking to push vaccines would absolutely know that doing this would make their preferred outcome look good.

you be the judge.

why this matters so much

at the end of the day, all personal and public health decisions come down to one thing:

cost benefit analysis.

what are the costs and risks of an action and what benefits does it provide? this is the only rational basis by which to assess alternatives.

but how, if the actual data is entirely slanted and corrupted are we to perform this analysis? how can we tell what is and is not a good idea?

we can’t.

and if we cannot, then we are left unable to evaluate and/or counter the moralistic and political claims about “societal benefit” peddled by agencies and “experts.” they have destroyed the facts we need to make good choices.

it astonishes me to hear public health officials lamenting the lack of public trust they enjoy.

it is all i can do not to bellow “really? what color is the sky on your world?” they have done absolutely nothing to earn it.

they have lied, prevaricated, and pivoted diametrically from one set of admonitions and demands to another without the slightest scientific rationale. don’t mask. mask. go on a cruise! it’s safe! it may be a year before you can leave the house! vaccines will give us our lives back. nope.

a real public health agency would be taking assiduous care to measure all the costs and all the benefits of every mitigation and strategy as accurately as humanly possible and making clear, data driven statements to allow people to assess risk and make the choices that are right for them.

instead the CDC and NIH repeatedly lie and publish JUNK STUDIES about ineffective mitigations like masks. they tell you that you must vaccinate but that when you do, it will not PROTECT YOU and you need to mask and distance.

how is anyone to extract sense from this fatuous miasma of ever-changing and internally contradictory dogmatic doggerel?

this has been a careening clown car from day one, driven and riven by political demands and patronage.

it has served as an engine of justification for political policies not a provider of data to inform them.

clearly, they have no plans to knock this off. it’s just more thumbs on more scales. this group has been so dishonest and reprehensible that it’s going to be a generation before any reasonable person trusts these agencies again.

redfield lied. walensky is lying. facui has been a one man highlight reel of mendacity.

this needs to be torn out, root and stem.

clearly, the whole leadership structures of these groups have been hopelessly corrupted and politicized. (much of the rank and file seem fine and i have spoken to many who have been looking in horror at how these agencies have behaved and what they have advocated)

this has become a top political issue of our times. remember this and vote accordingly before this calamitous clown car runs you over again.

the society you save may be your own.

“People are not starving, they’re being starved”.

The UN warn of famines of 'biblical proportions’ as a result of the Covid-19 restrictions, projecting the number of people in crisis level hunger would rise to 270 million - an 82% increase since 2019.

‘People are not starving, they’re being starved’: millions at risk of famine, NGOs warn

Open letter backing UN call to action says Covid has exacerbated problems of conflict, climate crisis and inequality

World leaders are being urged to act immediately to stop multiple famines breaking out, exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic and caused by conflict, climate crisis and inequality.

In an open letter published on Tuesday to support the UN Call for Action to Avert Famine in 2021, hundreds of aid organisations from around the world said: “People are not starving – they are being starved.”

Warning that “history will judge us all by the actions we take today”, the aid groups added that people were “being starved by conflict and violence; by inequality; by the impacts of climate change; by the loss of land, jobs or prospects; by a fight against Covid-19 that has left them even further behind”.

They said millions of people in Yemen, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Honduras, Venezuela, Nigeria, Haiti, Central African Republic, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Sudan faced starvation and appealed to governments to respond to increasing levels of hunger, stressing that billions of pounds in investment was urgently needed.

In the letter, the organisations including the International Council of Voluntary Agencies and the World Food Programme (WFP) said: “Girls and boys, men and women, are being starved by conflict and violence; by inequality; by the impacts of climate change; by the loss of land, jobs of prospects; by a fight against Covid-19 that has left them even further behind.”

At the beginning of the year, the WFP and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization warned that up to 270 million people did not have enough food or were at high risk of going hungry.

More than 34 million people were on the brink of starving, they said, and may fall into famine without immediate action. Meanwhile, in Yemen, South Sudan and Burkina Faso, 155,000 people are already living in areas with famine or famine-likely conditions.

Over 30 million people ‘one step away from starvation’, UN warns
Read more

At least $5.5bn (£3.95bn) is needed in food and agricultural assistance to avert famine, while millions more is needed to provide healthcare, clean water and other essential services.

The groups warned, however, that funding had dwindled and would not be enough by itself. Governments should step in to end conflicts and ensure humanitarian access, they said.

“The situation requires urgent action, at a scale we are simply not seeing,” the groups said in a separate letter. “If no action is taken, lives will be lost. The responsibility to address this lies with states.”

The letter comes a year after David Beasley, director of the WFP, warned that the world was facing famine “of biblical proportions” because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are not talking about people going to bed hungry,” he told the Guardian in an interview at the time. “We are talking about extreme conditions, emergency status – people literally marching to the brink of starvation. If we don’t get food to people, people will die.”

States had to address rising inequality, and take the political actions needed to stop conflict, which is a main driver of hunger and a barrier to meeting needs, the groups said. “It is imperative that we raise our collective voices to secure the international attention this cause deserves before it is too late,” they added.

Fair warning:
Dr Ward is not a medical Doctor, his credentials are in psychology.
UKColumn is a private interest group commenting on UK policy.

Brisc Rubal publicised his private medical decisions on his CSM 16 running tour, but comments on the appropriateness of this example were removed.

Our concerns on medical marshal tyranny are not unfounded and directly affect CSM delegates.
Please inform yourselves.

Why are certain 5G cell tower components labelled “COV-19?”

There simply is not enough information to verify any of these claims.
But certainly enough to arrest attention.

To be clear, I do not stand against cutting edge medical therapies and techniques.
However experimenting on an ignorant population denied the opportunity to consent is, highly objectionable.
