Walensky: “When the CNN feed came that it was 95% effective, the vaccine, so many of us wanted it to be helpful, so many of us wanted to say, ‘Ok this is our ticket out.’” Ok… But then you got millions fired and excluded from society for not taking it. https://t.co/Xcl7bUUrOi

We were all hopeful when we heard the vaccine was 95% effective, thinking it was our way out. But maybe we were too optimistic and not cautious enough. We didn't consider the possibility of the vaccine wearing off or being less effective against future variants.

Speaker 0: Can we have improved? Well, you know, I think I can tell you where I was when the CNN feed came that it was 95 percent effective on the vaccine. So many of us wanted to be helpful. So many of us wanted to say, okay. This is our ticket out. Right? Now we're done. So I think we had perhaps too little caution and too much optimism, for some good things that came our way. I I really do. I I think all of us wanted this to be done. Nobody said waning when when, you know, oh, this vaccine is gonna work. Oh, well, maybe it'll work. It'll wear off. Nobody said, well, what if the next variant doesn't it doesn't it's not as potent against the next variant.

March 2020 – An anchor for CGTN, China’s largest state TV outlet, explains the “new norm” of “lockdown.” “We traded a little of our freedom for the greater good… This is exactly what Europe and America should know.” 9/ https://t.co/DsOMeLCVq2

Video Transcript AI Summary

China's response to the pandemic was initially seen as extreme, but people have now accepted it as the new normal. Lockdown measures have been criticized for violating individual rights, but the balance between personal freedoms and public safety is always changing. After 9/11, airports implemented strict security checks, and people accepted the trade-off for the greater good. China imposed the largest quarantine in history, shutting down factories, public transport, and keeping people indoors. This approach helped flatten the curve, preventing millions of cases and tens of thousands of deaths. However, it also stretched out the time and put strain on hospitals. Europe and America should learn from China's experience.

Speaker 0: Stream, draconian, and aggressive. These are the words used to describe China's response. But now people have come to terms with the new norm, lockdown. Some people say, isn't that a violation of individual rights? Actually, the balance between individual rights and public safety is always an ever changing equation. After 911, all the airports in the world began to impose draconian safety checks on passengers, and people accepted it because we traded a little of our freedom for the greater good of the public. China imposed the largest and most draconian quarantine in history. Factories shut, public transport stopped, and people stayed indoors. By doing that, it flattened the curve. On one hand, China avoided many millions of cases and tens of thousands of death. On the other, it stretched out the time and make the hospitals restaaved and less strained. This is exactly what Europe and America should know.

The speakers discuss the concept of achieving herd immunity to stop the spread of the epidemic. Speaker 2 disagrees with this approach, stating that it would result in a significant number of deaths. They emphasize the need to prevent people from catching the virus and highlight the exponential increase in cases. Speaker 1 acknowledges the debate on herd immunity but doesn't believe anyone is advocating for intentionally causing deaths. Speaker 0 explains that there are two strategies: stamping out every case or achieving herd immunity. They mention the difficulty of containment and argue that achieving herd immunity is the only way to end the epidemic once the virus is widespread.

Speaker 0: The only way to stop this epidemic is indeed to achieve herd immunity. Speaker 1: Okay. Thomas Pury, you're shaking your head and now you've got your head buried in your hands. What's your response to what John Edmunds just said? Speaker 2: This is like deciding, you know what, this forest might burn, so let's cut a third of it. This is crazy. We want to have 10, 20, 30 percent of the population catch this. The the the UK has what? 66,000,000 people. That's how many people? That's, around 20,000,000 people. 1 of 1 percent of these people are gonna die. So we're saying we wanna kill 200,000 people in the UK. It. So that's, the Speaker 1: I don't think anyone is saying that. I don't think anyone is saying that. But I think there is a real debate in the scientific community going on about the value of herd immunity. So just briefly, what do you think about the value of herd immunity and can it be created through the measures that the government is, you know, introducing right now? We need Speaker 2: to understand what it means, this herd immunity. They're saying everybody's gonna catch it. So once they catch it, they can't catch it anymore. That's crazy. We we don't want people to catch it. We want people not to catch it because, always, they're gonna die. And and right now, the cases are going exponentially. In a week, the NHS is starting to be collapsed. In 2 weeks, it's gonna be completely collapsed if we don't take measures now. Then people are gonna panic. Maybe not today if you don't take the measures, but they're gonna definitely back in panic next week or in 2 weeks. We have 13 days of advance compared to Italy. Right? They thought the exact same thing 2 weeks ago. And then 1 week later, they realized, oh my god, this is exploding. They have now, what, 17,000 cases? Mhmm. It's it. Calling them. They realized too late that they were not containing this. You you UK now has an opportunity to catch this before the weekend, and we need to catch this before the weekend because everybody's gonna spread this with their friends, with their families that they haven't been seeing in the during the week. So it needs to be declared now. That's why Speaker 1: Let's let's Thomas, where did let's let's bring in John. I mean, has he got a point here? We've got to catch this right now. Speaker 0: There's there's 2 things. There's 2 strategies it. With a new virus, a new epidemic, there's 2 strategies. 1, you can stamp out every single case in the world, every single case in the world, it. And then, the virus then you're free. You've stopped that epidemic without achieving herd immunity, but you must cut every single case in the world. With a mild disease, that's incredibly difficult. That's the phase that we were in when we were Trying to do containment and everybody else is trying to do containment, yeah? Trying to stamp out every single case in the world. It. It hasn't worked, yes? We haven't managed to do that. The next phase, when the virus, the genie is out of the bottle, the virus is all around the world and spreading, the next phase. The only other way that the epidemic's gonna come to a stop is achieving herd immunity.

This is the paradigm that Every hospital in the country is working under. This is the disease ARDS that every hospital is preparing to treat. And this is the disease ARDS for which in the next 2 to 6 weeks, a 100000 Americans might be put on a ventilator.

And, you know, I just my sister, lives in Beijing, and she flew back to Beijing in the middle of lockdown. And just to give you an an idea of the contrast, she was escorted from the airport in Beijing to her home by Ministry of Health officials, and then, put into her home for 2 weeks quarantine. The door was sealed, and, she had a police car sitting outside the house, periodically. And I'm not We go that far in this country, but I just think it's an indication of how serious they are in the countries that have had to deal with SARS about stopping at the root every possible source of infection.

During the lockdown, I hoped that the situation in the US would be similar to Italy. In Italy, people were strictly confined to their homes and could only go out once every two weeks for an hour to buy groceries. They needed a certificate to prove they were allowed to do so. However, Americans don't respond well to such strict measures.

In this video, a question is posed to Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx about concerns regarding the misreporting of deaths due to COVID-19. Dr. Birx explains that in the United States, the reporting of COVID-19 deaths has been straightforward and accurate. However, in some other countries, deaths caused by COVID-19 may be categorized as heart or kidney issues if the person had preexisting conditions. In the US, if someone dies with COVID-19, it is counted as a COVID-19 death. The questioner raises doubts about the accuracy of this reporting, but no further discussion is provided in the video.

Can you talk about your concerns about deaths being misreported, by coronavirus because of either testing standards for how they're characterized? Speaker 1: So I think in this country, we've taken a very liberal approach to mortality. And I think the reporting here Has been pretty straightforward over the last 5 to 6 weeks. Prior to that, when there wasn't testing in January February. That's a very different situation, and unknown. There are other countries that if you had a preexisting condition, And let's say the virus caused you to go to the ICU and then have a heart or kidney problem. Some countries are recording that as A heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID 19 death. Right now, we're still recording it, and we'll I mean, the great thing about having forms that come in and a form that has the ability to market as COVID 19 infection, The intent is right now that those if someone dies with COVID-nineteen, we are counting that as a COVID-nineteen death.

Jul 2020 – Anthony Fauci says if a COVID PCR test only yields a positive using a CT value of 35 or more, it should not be considered a real positive. Despite this, labs across the US used a CT of 37 for years based on the original WHO guidance, inflating COVID cases ten-fold. 35/ https://t.co/pvIb8G6Ort

Video Transcript AI Summary

The speaker asks if a PCR test can be used to determine if a patient is no longer infectious. They mention that if the cycle threshold is 35 or higher, the chances of the virus being contagious are very low. They also mention that even if a patient has a cycle threshold of 37 or higher, it is unlikely that the virus can be cultured. Therefore, they conclude that a cycle threshold of 37 or higher indicates that the virus is no longer viable.

Speaker 0: I'm wondering if you think we could use, a cutoff of viral loads determined by PCR to say this patient is no longer infectious, can go home, can go to a nursing facility? Because right now, the the physicians are really having a hard time with that. Speaker 1: Right. Again, a good question. And what is now sort of, evolving into a bit of a standard That if you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more, that the chances of it being replication competent are minuscule. So that if somebody and you know what? We do. We have patients, and it's very frustrating for the patients as well as for the physicians. Somebody comes in And they repeat their PCR, and it's like 37 cycle threshold. But you never you almost never can culture virus Speaker 0: Yeah. Speaker 1: From a 37 threshold cycle.

Aug 2020 – Bill Gates expresses exasperation with the US response to COVID, which he blames on western “freedom”; China, by contrast, he says, “did a very good job of suppressing the virus,” thanks to the “authoritarian” approach and “individual rights that were violated.” 38/ https://t.co/o8TZVRatm2

Video Transcript AI Summary

China effectively suppressed the virus through strict measures, violating individual rights but achieving impressive results. Their ability to quickly build hospitals and enforce compliance with masks kept virus numbers low. This approach influenced other countries' responses, as it was not part of the traditional playbook. Even Sweden, often cited for its different approach, implemented behavioral changes. The US, despite being a leading economy and having top epidemiologists, performed poorly. The speaker attributes this to a belief in freedom without further elaboration.

Speaker 0: In their typical fairly authoritarian way, they did a very good job of suppressing the virus. You know, there may have been a lot of individual rights that were violated there, but the overall macro effect that they achieved is kind of amazing. They had the benefit that it was really Hubei, 60,000,000 people and they brought in the health resources, 1,400,000,000 and their ability to build hospitals, very, very quickly and force compliance with masks and and various other things, but they've kept the virus numbers to very low levels, compared to most countries. Speaker 1: Do you think the fact that China went into this very strict lockdown very quickly set the tone for the way other countries responded? Because that was not really part of the epidemiological playbook, before. Speaker 0: No. You're absolutely right. I, you know, I live in infectious diseases and how you stop them. And so when we were first talking about the shutdown, I was like, wow, we're really going to do this. Are people really willing to do this? How much productivity are we going to lose by doing this. So that day we sat there in early March and said, okay, no one comes to the foundation offices and they haven't been since, we were talking with Microsoft about it and they did the same thing. I remember thinking, gosh, I wish we did practice for this, because it's such a novel idea. And so I think, yes, that influenced things. The idea that you would just let it rip, and nobody really did that. Even Sweden that people call out did ask for behavioral change. They didn't do pure bans quite as much. And during the epidemic, there have been periods where it looked like their approach was smart, then it looked like it wasn't smart. You know, it that that still swerves around to this day about the relative health and economic effects that they experienced versus other countries. Speaker 1: Now let's turn to the US because it's the country, you know, it's the world's biggest economy. It's the preeminent public health Country in the world has got the world's best epidemiologist. I mean, why is it done so badly? Speaker 0: Well, we believe in freedom.

And the only way to do that Is by draconian means of essentially shutting down a country. We know that we can do that if we shut down. Speaker 2: Well, I think one of the things you really need to do to the extent that you can shut down Temporarily, the country, I think, is important. Speaker 1: Well, if I knew at the time that Shutting down would have such a dramatic effect on controlling the spread. Obviously, we would have shut down earlier. There were those who say, you shut down your dis destructive things by disrupting the economy, and others say, well, if you save so many by shutting down. Why didn't you shut down 2 weeks earlier? But I don't regret saying that the only way we could have really stopped the explosion of infection was by essentially I'm I wanna say shutting down. I mean, essentially having the physical separation and the kinds of recommendations That we've made. Speaker 2: You've been a big fan of Cuomo and the shutdown in New York.

I think that doctor Redfield, misstated something there. And the misstated last Speaker 0: time, Anna. Speaker 1: I'm gonna answer your question Speaker 0: if you Speaker 1: let me finish. The data on susceptible that he was talking about was his, surveillance data that showed that roughly 9% of the country Has antibodies. But when you look at the CDC data state by state, much of that data is old. Some of it goes back to March or April before many of these states had The cases, that's point number 1. Point number 2 is that the immunity to the infection is not solely determined by the percent of people who have antibodies. If you look at the research, and there's been about 24 papers at least on the immunity from T cells, that's a different type of immunity than antibodies. And without being boring, the reality is that according to the papers from Sweden, Singapore, and elsewhere, there is cross immunity Highly likely from other infections, and there is also t cell immunity. And the combination of those makes the antibodies a small fraction Of the people that have immunity. So the answer is no. It is not 90% of people that are susceptible to the infection. Speaker 0: So I guess my question is for I'm not a doctor. I defer to your on this end of his, but so Americans hear one thing from the CDC director and another thing from you. Who are we to to believe? Speaker 1: You're supposed to believe the science, and I'm telling you the science. Speaker 0: So he's not telling us science.

They're a complete disaster for average working families and particularly for people who are working class and lower income people. People have been killed by by people who want to have prolonged lockdowns. And when I say killed, I look at the data and that means, for instance, this week, it was shown 46% of the most common types of cancers were not diagnosed post during the lockdown. Those cancers didn't disappear. They are there. People will present with much later more widespread disease. Half of people who had chemotherapy appointments didn't show up. That 650,000 Americans, half of people who had immunizations for children didn't come in out of the fear instilled by our so called public health experts. You know, you could go on and on 40% of people with acute strokes, and this is sort of devastating when you close schools, just schools alone. We have more than 200,000 cases of child abuse not reported during the 2 months of spring school closures.

Speaker 0: And and and so after hospitals, I think we have schools that reopen, that we can reopen elementary schools in particularly and schools for kids with special needs safely when we have the testing Speaker 2: members of that 25,000 strong union voted in the majority to stay at home for at least another 2 days to defy Chicago Public Schools' orders to return to the classroom, does the AFT stand 100% behind The Chicago Union. Speaker 0: So, of course, we stand a 100% behind the Chicago Union. Speaker 3: Is this semester is this school year probably not gonna have full school openings. Speaker 0: Well, so let me I'm glad you asked that question, Chuck, because what does full school opening mean? If you have if you do 6 feet of physical distancing, You're essentially saying in a school, you're gonna have you're gonna have about 50% or 60% of people in there at any one time, not a 100%. If we get the testing, the vaccine prioritization, and these mitigation strategies, 85% of them are comfortable being in school. So essentially, we got to put our money where our mouth is, which is if it's really important to do, we got a road map. Let's make it happen. Speaker 1: But that's a that's a lot of ifs. Everyone is asking When and how are we getting our students, our children, back into those classrooms full time? Speaker 0: So Full time is gonna depend upon, what's going on with physical distancing and, and what's going on with the variance. And I just hope this is not a rush to put in twice as many desks in a place where we're really starting to get things reopened. Speaker 1: I'm surprised to hear you think that this is a rush. The American Federation of Teachers president, Randy Weingarten, Says the union is reserving judgment for now. Why not trust the CDC's guidance? Speaker 0: We have to figure out in all these schools right now, which have been set up for 6 feet physical distancing, how this is going to work. Speaker 1: You recently pushed back on the CDC's new social distancing guidelines for schools from 6 feet to 3. Why? Speaker 0: Because, you know, in because trust is actually earned. Speaker 1: You're gonna have everyone back in September a 100% in class 5 days a week? Speaker 0: I hope so. I would hope that Fox would be just as focused on let's to get rid of the misinformation about what happened in this election. This election was free. On, Randy. Come on. But this is Speaker 1: not the topic that we're here to talk about. Speaker 3: Why not tomorrow? I mean, literally, why not tomorrow? If if 90% of your teachers are vaccinated, if we know what we know now, Why not just go back to school in person tomorrow? Speaker 0: Well, frankly, 97% of the schools are open for in person learning. Speaker 3: 5 days a week. Speaker 0: About 60% of them are. The real key right now is that about 2 thirds of our parents, particularly black and brown parents, Don't trust it. Speaker 1: The teachers union was back on TV today, and she admitted just a few hours ago that the White House did ask. So what specific language on reopening schools would you like to see us put in our CDC policy? Watch this. Speaker 0: They asked us for language and we gave them language when they asked us for it, we need to, you know, bring back our masks for schools. So the bottom line is We're gonna keep kids safe. We're gonna keep our members safe, and we're gonna try to open up schools. Speaker 1: Now the union leader says universal mask swearing must be in place in order to keep schools open. Speaker 4: Brandy Weingarten and the American Federation of Teachers had previously opposed the idea of mandating teachers to be vaccinated against the virus. But after visiting schools throughout the country, she said the union is now reconsidering it. Speaker 0: Everybody yearns Speaker 1: for normalcy. Speaker 0: You're not gonna You're not gonna have normalcy in the middle of an omicron, tsunami.

Video Transcript AI Summary

In 2021, the goal is to manufacture a lot of vaccines to stop transmission and increase immunity levels. Vaccinated people do not carry or get sick from the virus, and the virus cannot infect them or use them to spread. Vaccines block both getting and giving the virus. Fully vaccinated individuals have a very low risk of getting COVID-19 and no longer need to wear masks. Vaccinated people are safe from infection and can break the chain of transmission. With about 50% of adults fully vaccinated and 62% having received at least one dose, surges are not expected. Vaccinated individuals will not be hospitalized, in the ICU, or die from COVID-19.

Speaker 0: During 2021, we should be able to manufacture a lot of vaccines, and that vaccine, key goal is to stop the transmission, to get the immunity levels up so that you get almost no, infection going on whatsoever. Everyone who takes the vaccine is not just protecting themselves, but reducing their transmission, to other people and allowing society to get back to normal. Speaker 1: We can kind of almost see the the And we're we're vaccinating so very fast. Our data from the CDC today suggest, you know, that that people do not carry the virus, don't get sick. Speaker 2: Now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops the With every vaccinated person, a vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus. The virus does not infect them. The virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else. It Cannot use a vaccinated person as a host if they'll get more people. That means the vaccines will get us to the end of this. Speaker 1: Essentially, vaccines things block you from getting and giving, the virus. Speaker 3: Fully vaccinated people the are at a very, very low risk of getting COVID 19. Therefore, if you've been fully vaccinated, disease. You no longer need to wear a mask. Speaker 4: When people are vaccinated, they can feel safe that they are not gonna get infected. We have the All the vaccines we need. We just need our people to take it, a, for their own protection, For the protection of their family, but also to break the chain of transmission. You wanna be a dead end to the virus. So when the virus gets to you. You stop it. You don't allow it to use you as the stepping stone to the next person. Them. I think given the country as a whole, the fact that we have now about 50% of adults fully vaccinated and about 62% of adults having received at least one dose as a nation.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Masks provide some protection but are not foolproof. Wearing masks indoors is recommended, especially in crowded places, even if vaccinated. However, fully vaccinated individuals do not need to wear masks outdoors or indoors. Children should wear masks in the community, but when they are outside with their family, they can go without masks. The CDC suggests that one mask is better than none, and cloth masks can be effective if properly fitted. Double masking is not necessary. The interviewer jokingly asks if Dr. Fauci is a double masker, to which he replies with a laugh.

Speaker 0: People should not be walking around with masks. Let me just state for the record that masks are not theater. Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better. Masks are protective, and we But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. There has not been any indication that putting a mask on and wearing a mask for a considerable period of time has any deleterious effects. There are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask, and they keep touching their face. And can you get some schmutz sort of staying inside there? Of course. You do not need to wear a mask indoors if in fact you've been vaccinated. Good that you're vaccinated, but in a situation When you have people indoors, particularly crowded, you should wear a mask. So even if you are vaccinated, you should wear a mask. If in fact you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated. You are protected, and you do not need to wear a mask outdoors or indoors. When the children go out into the community, you want them to continue to wear masks. You know, if you look at at at children outside, particularly when they're with the family walking down the street, playing a game, or what have you, don't have to wear a mask. The the the the pediatric the Academy of Pediatric actually makes that recommendation that children should be wearing masks, from 2 years old onward. And you're asking now if your child is a member of your household, can you walk outdoors with your child without a mask? According to that chart, the answer is yes. Speaker 1: But the child can't, not to beat Speaker 0: it beat Speaker 1: it to death. Speaker 0: Yes. Yes. Okay. Because now the CDC says, Speaker 1: I mean, I think I've got this right. One mask is better than 0 masks. 2 masks is better than 1 mask, but you don't have to have double masks. Sick. Is that right? I mean Speaker 0: You know, it became clear that cloth coverings that you didn't have to buy in a store, that you could make yourself, we're adequate. And Betty wanted to fit better, so one of the ways you could do it if you would like to is put a cloth mask over which actually here and here and here where you could get leakage in is much better contained.

Japan conducted large-scale studies on the effectiveness of masks during the SARS epidemic. The studies suggested that masks primarily work by causing alarm, leading people to maintain distance from each other. However, it is unlikely that masks actually prevent the virus from entering the face. Therefore, while social distancing is important, the efficacy of masks in keeping the virus out is doubtful.

And that's what I think happened with SARS. When I was in the SARS epidemic, I saw everywhere, all over Asia, people started wearing these masks and it is alarming when you walk down the street and everybody coming towards you has a mask on. You definitely do social distancing. You definitely it's just a gut thing. But did the mask really help them? Did the mask keep the virus out? Almost certainly not.

Masks are important for children in schools, as they are safe and effective. Kids are resilient and can tolerate wearing masks, just like they do with seat belts and bike helmets. Wearing masks builds resilience and has no adverse effects. Children have a part to play in dealing with COVID, and wearing masks is a small task compared to the challenges faced by previous generations. Masks do not harm children and have been used in cancer wards for years. Research shows that masks do not put children at risk. It is the responsibility of parents and leaders to set an example and teach children to wear masks. Children are happy to wear masks and it is important for their protection.

Speaker 0: A really striking comment that you made in this interview. You said from a broad public health standpoint, and I'm quoting you now, at the population level, masks work at the margins maybe 10%. Speaker 1: In the schools, everybody should wear a mask. Speaker 2: Asking kids to wear a mask Is uncomfortable, but, you know, kids are pretty resilient. Speaker 3: Kids are resilient. And if anything, this is going to build resilience in our holder. Speaker 4: Women's have long term psychological effects on young kids, do you think? I don't think so. I think in fact it's good. Speaker 1: Masking, is very important, particularly in the schools. Masks are safe. Masks do work. Speaker 5: I have a 9 year old. He Tolerates masks for everything. I don't hear him whine just like I don't hear him whine about his seat belt or his bike helmet. Children have no problem with what Speaker 6: is going on. They want to deal sensibly by way of the science with COVID. They've Said we have no difficulty with students wearing masks. Speaker 3: When I look at the history of the world and when I think of, like, my parents and grandparents growing up in depressions, fighting wars, kids always had a part to play too. And when I look at the fact that they're just wearing a mask, but they have a roof over their head. They have food. Speaker 1: A mask is basically noninclusive completely. I've yet to see a child whose mask was bothering him or her. In fact, in Speaker 7: the emergency department, the kids are the best ones at wearing masks, and they often help their parents put masks on correctly. Speaker 1: There's nothing Adverse or bad about masks. We've used masks for decades. We mask kids in our cancer wards routinely. Speaker 8: We have now a plethora of ongoing research and studies, and documents that are showing us that masks do not put children at risk. Speaker 9: This concept that children somehow are harmed or abused by wearing masks is not founded in any science? Speaker 7: It's Simple. It does no harm. My kids wear them to school. Speaker 3: The idea that children won't wear masks is actually an application of leadership to say that we can't at them and won't set an example for them. Speaker 1: Those 50,000,000 children need to protect themselves by wearing masks. Speaker 2: If I'm going to get on an airplane, I don't have to wear a mask, but I will have my kids wear 1. Speaker 3: I don't think this is politically, dividing at all. I wear masks, my kids wear masks. I don't understand why parents are not listening to the science, not teaching their children to wear a mask. Speaker 10: My responsibility if I am lucky enough to be the next governor of Georgia is to look at the science to follow the protocols and Speaker 3: to set the right example. Speaker 7: I don't Speaker 9: think we're even talking to the children. When we talk to schools and classrooms of children, they are Happy to wear masks. Speaker 4: Be comforted by the fact that children have so much neuroplasticity that it this is a bump in their social development, but that they can repair very easily. Speaker 3: You don't go naked. Yeah. And right now, you shouldn't be going to school without a mask. Speaker 2: You're not likely to be able to be exposed to something and spread it to mommy or daddy. And it's not likely mommy and daddy are able will spread it to you either. So I wouldn't worry about it, baby. I promise you. That's why we need to make sure children are wearing masks in school.

Video Transcript AI Summary

Big tech's handling of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is concerning. They have been deferential to the CCP, which was invested in promoting lockdowns similar to those in Wuhan. Facebook and other companies elevated lockdown hysteria and suppressed those questioning it. This is troubling because lockdowns were not the norm in public health guidance before COVID, and it was a new concept influenced by China's experience. The relationship between big tech and the CCP is problematic, especially in fields like entertainment and the American economy.

Speaker 0: I mean, this censorship feels like communist China. You know, you've talked about big tech and its relationship to the Chinese Communist Party. You've been researching this. You say that the lockdown approach that was led by the Democrats, was promoted by the CCP. Tell me about that. Speaker 1: Sure. Before I do, just point out, when we signed the the big tech bill, I had folks who had fled communist Cuba Speaking about how important it was. I had people that have that fled socialist Venezuela talking about how important it was to combat censorship because they lived, through really bad periods of censorship. You look at how big tech has handled the CCP. They are very deferential to the Communist Party of China. And I think that China was very much invested in promoting lockdowns as we started getting in To 2020, February, March, obviously, Italy. Those Italy lockdowns were very much patterned off what we saw in Wuhan. And, Facebook and some of these big companies, they were really serving to elevate the lockdown hysteria And to absolutely suppress people who are raising questions and concerns about lockdowns. And the the reason why that's so, I think, so galling is because Up until COVID, public health guidance was never in a pandemic to just lock down indefinitely. This was kind of a new invention That was really fueled by the Chinese experience. And so I think the relationship between big tech and the CCP is very problematic. And quite frankly, a lot of these big corporations, particularly in entertainment and some of these other, fields, of the American economy.

The Honolulu police department introduced Spot, a $150,000 robot dog used to screen homeless individuals for COVID-19 on Oahu. With only 14 positive cases out of over 1700 homeless individuals since the pandemic began, HPD credits the implementation of mitigation procedures and technologies like Spot for keeping the numbers low. Spot can measure temperature from 7 feet away, communicate, and provide PPE, food, and water to those who test positive. The department believes that the long-term investment in Spot is worthwhile as it eliminates the risk of transmission during interactions.

It also has two way communication capability and can deliver PPE, food, and water to someone who does test positive for COVID.

Speaker 0: One of either you or doctor Fauci were saying that the reason that we're not saying that natural immunity is protective as is recent publication showing that 6 to 8 months out, 92% of those with natural immunity have T cells, B cells, and antibodies that would be considered adequate to protect. And indeed, B cell continues to climb. That we don't have data. Now, in your response to Mr. Casey, you just mentioned that CDC has access to tens of thousands of EHRs And I've been told that HHS or CDC has access to patient identifiable data as to who tests positive. So I do that as a prologue. If we don't know that natural immunity confers Protection against future infection is because we've decided not to look. Because I've learned that there is a cohort of people that we know have been previously infected. We've got the bench research showing that the, triad of antibodies, T cells, and B cells are there and that 92% of them are still there at age 6 months out. So why don't we why have we not done the research showing that natural immunity confers protection against recurrent infection? Speaker 1: Yeah. Thank you so much for allowing me to clarify this point because I understand the question.

And so our our understanding of antibodies, of natural immunity has, changed a a great deal from the onset of the pandemic and is still evolving? I understand that the vaccine would, help if if if you catch COVID and, you'll be able to have less symptoms, from contracting it? But with me having COVID in the past and to having antibodies, with my current, age group and, fitness, physical fitness level? It's not necessarily a fear of mine. Taking the vaccine, like I said, it would decrease my chances of, having a severe reaction, but it does open me up to the albeit rare chance, but the possibility of having an adverse reaction to the vaccine itself. I don't believe that being unvaccinated means infected or being vaccinated means, uninfected? You can still catch COVID, with or we're not having the vaccine. I would say honestly the the the craziness of it all in terms of not being able to say that it should be everybody's fair choice without being demeaned or, talked crazy to doesn't, make more comfortable to do what said person is, telling them to do? Yeah. I I would say that's that's a couple of the reasons that, you know, I would say I'm hesitant at this time, but at the end of the day, I don't feel that it is, know anyone's reason to come out and say, well, this is why or this is not why. It should just be their decision and, you know, loving your neighbors not just loving those that that agree with you or look like you were, moving the same way that you do?

Mar 2021 – Frequent CNN contributor Leana Wen advocates keeping COVID restrictions in place so that reopening can be used as a “carrot” to promote vaccine uptake. 71/ https://t.co/9PPMBXdFgH

Video Transcript AI Summary

My concern is that vaccine hesitancy will prevent us from achieving herd immunity. It's not just the small percentage of anti-vaxxers, but also millions of people who have concerns about the vaccine and don't understand its benefits. We need to clearly communicate that the vaccine is the key to returning to normal life. With states reopening at full capacity, we have a limited opportunity to link reopening policies to vaccination status. If everything is reopened without incentives for vaccination, people will enjoy their freedoms without getting vaccinated. The CDC and the Biden administration should boldly state the benefits of vaccination and the freedoms it provides.

Speaker 0: My main concern is that we're not going to reach herd immunity because of vaccine hesitancy. And I know that's hard for a lot of people to believe who desperately want the vaccine right now, and they're thinking, oh, well, it's just a small percentage of people who are actually anti vaxxers. And that's true. There is the anti science, anti vaxxer contingent. But I think that there are many more people, millions of people, who, for whatever reason, have concerns about the vaccine, who just don't know what's in it for them. And we need to make it clear to them that the vaccine is the ticket back to pre pandemic life. And the window to do that is really narrowing. I mean, you were mentioning, Chris, about how all these states are reopening. They're reopening at a 100%, And we have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status. Because otherwise, if everything is reopened, then what's the carrot going to be? How are we going to incentivize people to actually get the vaccine? So that's why I think the CDC and the Biden administration needs to come out a lot bolder and say, If you are vaccinated, you can do all these things. Here are all these freedoms that you have. Because otherwise, people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms anyway.

People wearing masks on trains and long-distance journeys while others don't. Some restaurants closing at 10 pm. These measures seem contradictory and nonsensical. It's actually a method to confuse and unsettle people, disrupting their lives and causing uncertainty. This method originated in China and was observed by Americans during the Korean War. Prisoners of war were subjected to conflicting measures, never feeling secure about what they should do. There were even occasional relaxations to prevent people from getting used to the measures. This is not a coincidence; it's an attempt to destroy people's psyche by politicians like Söder and Merkel.

The speakers express concerns about the government's control over science, specifically mentioning Dr. Fauci. They argue that when science is dictated by the government, it can lead to the rise of flat Earthers. They also discuss the shrinking sphere of individual liberty and the increasing power of the government. The speakers believe that the government is conditioning individuals to submit to its authority and that this trend will continue, with more control over healthcare decisions being centralized. They criticize the idea of government bureaucrats like Fauci making decisions about vaccines and healthcare, warning against the potential for rationing and arbitrary choices. They emphasize the need to resist and fight back against this trend.

Speaker 0: Them straight. So the danger is when you let science be controlled by government or by one sort of monolithic individual like Fauci, it really doesn't have anything to do with science. Science usually discovers the truth eventually. But when, science is dictated by the government, that's when you get, you know, flat Earthers. Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, they seem to love the character assassination and insult, senator. But listen, as you well know, being an active proponent of, god given rights and liberty, liberty is a zero sum game. Set. You can't have a big sphere of individual liberty and a big government at the same time. And what's really concerning me, senator, is he's constantly moving goalposts, which don't seem to be grounded in science at all, keep shrinking the sphere of individual liberty and empowering more and more government. And it's not gonna stop until we stop it. There doesn't seem to be an endpoint here. Speaker 0: Set I don't think it's been about science for a long time. It's really been about conditioning the American, individual to submit to government. You're right, it never ends. The the goalpost will continue to change, and ultimately, more and more of your healthcare will be controlled. You know, under socialized medicine, when we centralize all controls, most of these decisions are made by government bureaucrats like Fauci. So if you love the dictates on vaccines, you'll love it when Fauci's in charge of who can be dialyzed. In England, for many years, they wouldn't dialyze you after age 50 because they thought, well, you don't have much left to live and over 50, you're over the hill. And I I personally resent that now that I'm well past 50. But the thing is nobody in government should be making those decisions. And once they do, it gets into rationing and arbitrary decisions by, little autocrats like Fauci. It's a huge mistake to let this happen, and we do need to fight back.

Video Transcript AI Summary

The EU has introduced a digital COVID certificate to simplify travel between European countries while ensuring safety. The certificate can be on your phone or printed out and will prove vaccination, negative test results, or recovery from the infection. It will be valid for 12 months and comply with data protection rules. The certificate is free, and the European Parliament has allocated funds to purchase necessary tests. All EU countries will recognize the certificate, but travelers should still check for any local restrictions before their journey.

The EU digital COVID certificate can be on your phone or printed out. It will prove that you have been vaccinated against COVID 19, that you've had a negative test, all that you've recovered from the infection. It will be in use for the next 12 months in all member states. The certificate it will be subject to European data protection rules so your personal health information will be safe. Speaker 0: That sounds expensive. How much will it Speaker 1: cost. You don't have to pay for the certificate. Plus, most EU countries vaccinate Europeans for free. The European Parliament also backed plans to mobilize €100,000,000 to purchase tests needed to obtain the certificate. Speaker 0: Can I travel anywhere with the certificate? Speaker 1: All EU countries have agreed to recognize the certificate. In theory, that means they should not impose more restrictions on certificate holders unless they are necessary to protect public health. So check any local restrictions before traveling.

Sep 2021 – Bill Maher recalls a survey in NYT unintentionally revealing that most Democrats believed COVID’s infection fatality rate was dozens or hundreds of times higher than it really was. 79/ https://t.co/nc5HFb6o1t

Video Transcript AI Summary

According to a survey mentioned in The New York Times, Democrats were more likely to overestimate the chances of hospitalization due to COVID-19 compared to Republicans. Around 41% of Democrats believed the chances were over 50%, while another 28% thought it was between 20% and 49%. This misinformation may have been influenced by the liberal media, leading to unnecessary fear. The speaker highlights the impact of this fear on the entertainment industry, with touring acts struggling to sell tickets in blue states. However, they reassure the audience that safety measures are in place and encourage people to enjoy life while following guidelines. The speaker also mentions their personal experience of getting COVID-19 after being vaccinated, which they find strange but note that many others have had similar situations.

And democrats thought that was way higher than republicans. 41% of democrat and the answer is between 1 5%. K, 41% of Democrats thought it was over 50%. Another 28% thought it was 20 to 49%. So 70% of Democrats thought it was way, way, way higher than it really was. Liberal media has to take a little responsibility for that, for scaring the out of people.

The video discusses the development of the COVID vaccine through Operation Warp Speed and the issue of liability for vaccine injuries. The program protected drug companies from lawsuits, but critics argue that the compensation program is bureaucratic and lacks accountability. The speaker believes that the special protection for vaccine manufacturers should be repealed, along with other forms of crony capitalism. They emphasize the importance of free speech and open debate in making decisions about vaccines. The speaker also calls for an end to government officials joining the boards of companies they have dealt with.

Through Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration and private industry developed a COVID vaccine in record time. Vaccine. The Trump administration and private industry developed a COVID vaccine in record time. Vaccine. The program protected the drug companies from virtually all lawsuits over vaccine injuries. The government has a program to compensate for such harm, but critics say it is a black hole of bureaucracy. 12,000 claims filed, 10% decided, only 8 payouts so far in a forum with no right to counsel, no hearings, no appeals. Mister Trump says he's very proud of warp speed. Should he be? Speaker 0: Vaccine. Well, this question specifically on liability goes back to actually Reagan. And Reagan is a president who I admire. Many of us do. I think that vaccine. Reviving that spirit is in many ways gonna be good for this country in so many ways, but one of the areas where he erred was this special form of lobbying to say that one kind of manufacturer, vaccine. A vaccine manufacturer cannot be sued for their product liability. So I have pledged it is part of my legislative agenda. We will repeal that, vaccine. Just like we will repeal every other form of crony capitalism, people who have been harmed by those vaccines deserve accountability. They cannot be forgotten Americans. And I think one of the top lessons we learned from that COVID pandemic is that free speech in this country is most important in those alleged times of emergency. If we had been allowed to openly debate the merits of those vaccines, they would have been never mandated in the way that they were. And in general, I don't think that we should want capitalism and democracy to share the same bed anymore. It's time for a clean divorce. Let companies be companies, but I don't like the crony capitalism. Vaccine. This dates back a long time in both parties, and I think that we need to end the lobbying. And I personally believe that if you have been working in the government, you should not lobby that government for 10 years. Vaccine. If you have been a government elected official doing deals with companies, be they Boeing or be they pharmaceutical companies, you should not join the board of that company for 10 years after. Vaccine. The former chairman of the FDA, the leader commissioner of the FDA ended up on the board of Pfizer. Nikki Haley did deals with Boeing, ends up on the board of Boeing. I don't care if it's a Republican or a Democrat. Vaccine. We need some basic principles that end the corruption in government. That's how we got the health insurance exemptions. That's how we got Pharmaceutical product liability exemption to end the corruption. We need vaccine. Speaker 2: Alabama. Final question before vaccine. Statements, and we wanna get you all in.

Speaker 0: Ladies and gentlemen The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society, and we are, as a people, inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, There is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it, and there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That, I do not intend to permit to the extent that it's in my control. And no official of my administration, whether his rank is high or low, Civilian or military should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know, for we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means for expanding its sphere of influence, on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned. No rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. No president should fear public scrutiny of his program for from that scrutiny comes understanding, and from that understanding comes support or opposition and both are necessary. I am not asking your newspapers to support an administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people, for I have complete confidence and the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed. I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers, I welcome it. This administration intends to be candid about its errors, for as a wise man once said, an error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors, and we expect you to point them out when we miss them. Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed, and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy, and that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment, the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution, not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply give the public what it wants, but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate, and sometimes even anger public opinion. This means greater coverage and analysis of international news for news, for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission, and it means, finally, that government at all levels must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security. And so it is to the printing press, to the recorder of man's deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news, that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help, Man will be what he was born to be, free and independent.

In spring 2020, tens of thousands of Americans died after being placed on mechanical ventilators. Ventilators were vastly overused, and patients were often put on them not for their own benefit but to protect hospital staff. Prolonged intubation was consistent with guidance from China, and split-ventilation made intubation even more dangerous. Mortality among COVID patients in New York area hospitals fell by over two-thirds between spring 2020 and summer 2020. Despite all this evidence, the establishment is arguing that no patients were killed by ventilators in spring 2020.

This is the paradigm that Every hospital in the country is working under. This is the disease ARDS that every hospital is preparing to treat. And this is the disease ARDS for which in the next 2 to 6 weeks, a 100000 Americans might be put on a ventilator. And yet, everything I have seen in the last 9 days, All the things that just don't make sense, the patients I'm seeing in front of me, the lungs I'm trying to improve have led me to believe That COVID nineteen is not this disease and that we are operating under a medical paradigm that is untrue.

In my 20 years of military and ER experience, I witnessed the challenges of dealing with a novel virus. As healthcare professionals, we made mistakes due to outdated knowledge and assumptions. We intubated patients unnecessarily and didn't consider alternative treatments. Families suffered as they were unable to be with their loved ones during their final moments. I held dying patients' hands, knowing there was little I could do. The government exacerbated the situation by interfering with healthcare decisions and keeping families apart. We shouldn't rely on the government to solve problems it created.

Speaker 0: In my experience, over 20 years in the military and and finished up as an ER doc. And matter of fact, from the beginning of the pandemic, I was serving as a night shift ER doc, full time, working in the ER, being exposed to fevers. We didn't know where it came from and trying to figure out what this novel virus would do to our patient population, and we got it wrong. I'll tell you, when the novel virus hits you or any novel disease, you don't know what to do. That's a fact. So we're the healthcare professionals, the people with the scientific background, the people who understood how viruses work, how they propagate, how they crate inflammation got it wrong. We're going off of old technology, old assumptions. And I remember we were intubating people that probably shouldn't have been intubated. We didn't use NSAIDs. We didn't use steroids. We didn't, take into account how this virus could be different from other viruses we knew in the past. Let me tell you what else I witnessed as an ER doctor. I watched families struggle with this. Once we we're no longer able to allow families into the ER or watch people die by themselves. I held the hands of people who were dying and looked in their eyes and and told them I was gonna do my very best, but knew there was very little I could do because we didn't know what to do. I I watched and prayed with people, knowing that the outcome was gonna be very poor and knowing we're doing some things very wrong, over time and and realizing As it continued, I became very aware that the government was the biggest problem of all. They didn't help this pandemic. They got in the way of the conversation. They interjected themselves between the professionals and the patients. They kept families apart. They didn't let people even die with dignity or with any choice in their own health care. Let me ask you this. This this is my take home, is why do we keep on turning back to the government to solve the problems that the government created? That's what I get out of this.

As Meredith Case, an internal medicine resident at NewYork-Presbyterian hospital, put it in a series of since-deleted threads, hospitals were “early intubating” patients for “many days if not weeks” “to avoid aerosolizing procedures to protect staff.” 6/

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

This practice of prolonged intubation was apparently consistent with guidance from China. As Zeynep Tufekci had put it, “Chinese scientists” advised “many COVID-19 patients need to stay on mechanical ventilators as long as four weeks.” 7/

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

Some hospitals in New York began engaging in “split-ventilation”—putting patients on ventilators two-at-a-time. “Split-ventilation” made intubation even more dangerous than it already was. 8/

Even Anthony Fauci eventually admitted that having “very very readily put people on mechanical ventilation” may have “caused more harm than good.” 9/

Video Transcript AI Summary

Intensive care has improved as we now understand that mechanical ventilation may not always be necessary. Instead, proper positioning in the prone or supine position can be beneficial without the need for intubation. This new approach has been learned through clinical experience, as it has been found that intubation can sometimes cause more harm than good.

Speaker 0: I think the intensive care has improved. We very, very readily would put people on mechanical ventilation. When we found out through clinical experience, it might have been better just to make sure we position them properly in the prone or supine position and not necessarily intubate somebody so readily, which might have actually caused more harm than good. We learned that as we got more

A study in JAMA later revealed a 97.2% mortality rate among those over age 65 put on mechanical ventilators. Patients over age 65 were more than 26 times as likely to survive if they were NOT placed on mechanical ventilators. 11/

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

Overall, mortality among COVID patients in New York area hospitals fell by over two-thirds between spring 2020 and summer 2020. 12/

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

Yet astonishingly, despite all this evidence, the establishment is arguing that *no patients* were killed by ventilators in spring 2020. An astonishing argument, even by the abysmal standards of the COVID era. 13/

@Craig_A_Spencer - Craig Spencer MD MPH

You know why we intubated people for Covid in March 2020? Because otherwise they were going to die. Full. Stop. I remember a patient rolling in with an oxygen saturation of 42%, breathing twice as fast as normal,struggling on a face mask with oxygen all the way up. What to do?

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

The data bears out that ventilator use was sharply curtailed after spring 2020. Overall, CDC data shows that about 10,000 patients died with COVID in NYC hospitals after being put on ventilators in spring 2020. 14/ https://www.michaelpsenger.com/p/the-great-covid-ventilator-death

As I’ve previously written, the percentage increase in excess deaths in the greater New York area in spring 2020 vastly outstrips the percentage increase even in other cities with similar climate and social and economic demographics. 15/ https://www.michaelpsenger.com/p/an-estimated-30000-americans-were

Further, as @ewoodhouse7 has documented in meticulous detail, New York City experienced an unnaturally sharp, breathtaking mortality event just after its lockdown began, unlike anywhere where else or at any other time. 16/ (Source: CDC Wonder mortality, 2018–last month).

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

A side-by-side comparison of inpatient hospital mortality from 2018 to present in NYC vs America’s other largest metro areas illustrates this unnatural, sharp spike in mortality in NYC in spring 2020. 17/ (Source: CDC Wonder mortality, 2018–last month).

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

Moreover, the spike in mortality among young people is inconsistent with COVID’s heavily-stratified IFR by age. This is the most widely-cited data on COVID’s IFR by age. Thus, the unnatural spike in mortality in NYC in spring 2020 cannot be attributed to COVID. 18/

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

The establishment has responded with studies claiming “early intubation” actually reduced time on ventilators, but this is a straw-man. The real issue is whether patients were put on ventilators unnecessarily, or kept on them too long. 19/

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

Even more strangely, most attorneys with whom I’ve discussed the ventilator issue agree that there’s actually little litigation risk for the medical establishment given the perceived global emergency and the information coming from China at the time. 20/

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

This, too, leads me to believe that the real number of patients killed by ventilators must be frighteningly high; even absent any real litigation risk, the embarrassment alone is leading to this broad cover-up. 21/

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

Given all the clumsy, self-contradictory arguments about ventilator deaths coming from the medical establishment, you’ve probably gathered that these are not sophisticated crooks. Rather, these are ordinary people who can’t seem to face what really happened. 22/

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

As I detailed in Snake Oil, it’s the hallmark of any great dictator to be able to bring out the evil even in ordinary people. And some men are uncannily good at what they do. 23/

@michaelpsenger - Michael P Senger

Nonetheless, the situation is morally inexcusable. We need to know how these patients died, not only so we know what really happened during the initial response to COVID in spring 2020, but also because it’s the least we can do to honor the deceased. /end https://www.michaelpsenger.com/p/the-great-covid-ventilator-death

China's response to the pandemic was initially seen as extreme and aggressive, but it has now become the new norm. Lockdown measures have been implemented, raising concerns about individual rights. However, the balance between individual rights and public safety is constantly evolving. After 9/11, airports worldwide introduced strict safety checks, and people accepted them in exchange for greater public good. Similarly, China imposed the largest and most extensive quarantine in history, shutting down factories, halting public transport, and enforcing stay-at-home orders. This approach helped flatten the curve, preventing millions of cases and tens of thousands of deaths. However, it also strained hospitals over a longer period. Europe and America should take note of China's experience.

Speaker 0: Extreme, draconian, and aggressive. These are the words used to describe China's response. But now, people have come to terms with the new norm, lockdown. Some people say, isn't that a violation of individual rights? Actually, the balance between individual rights and public safety is always an ever changing equation. After 911, all the airports in the world began to impose draconian safety checks on passengers, and people accepted it because we traded a little of our freedom for the greater good of the public. China imposed the largest and most draconian quarantine in history. Factories shut, public transport stopped, and people stayed indoors. By doing that, it flattened the curve. On one hand, China avoided many millions of cases and tens of thousands of death. On the other, it stretched out the time and make the hospitals restaaved and less strained.

What's your response to what John Edmunds just said? Speaker 2: This is like deciding, you know what, this forest might burn, so let's cut a third of it. This is crazy. We want to have 10, 20, 30% of the population catch this. The the the UK has what, 66,000,000 people. That's how many people? That's, around 20,000,000 people. 1 of 1% of these people are gonna die. So we're saying we wanna kill 200,000 people in the UK. So that's, the biggest thing. Speaker 1: I don't think anyone is saying that. I don't think anyone is saying that, but I think there is a real debate in the scientific community going on about the value of herd immunity. So just briefly, what do you think about the value of herd immunity? And can it be created through the measures that the government is, you know, introducing right now? Speaker 2: We need to understand what it means, this herd immunity. They're saying everybody's gonna catch it. So once they catch it, they can't catch it anymore. That's crazy. We don't want people to catch it. We want people not to catch it because otherwise they're gonna die. And and right now the cases are going exponentially. In a week, it. The NHS is starting to be collapsed. In 2 weeks, it's gonna be completely collapsed. If we don't take measures now, then people are gonna panic. Maybe not today if we don't take the measures, But they're gonna definitely back in panic next week or in 2 weeks. We have 13 days of advance compared to Italy. Right? They thought the exact same thing 2 weeks ago. And then 1 week later, they realized, oh my god, this is exploding. They have now, what, 17,000 cases? Mhmm. It's exploding then. They realized too late That they were not containing this. You you UK now has an opportunity to catch this before the weekend, and we need to catch this before the weekend because everybody's gonna spread this with their friends, with their families that they haven't been seen in the during the week. So it needs to be declared now. That's why Speaker 1: Okay. Let's Thomas, where did let's bring in John. I mean, has he got a point here? We've got to catch this right now. Speaker 0: There's 2 things, there's 2 strategies with a new virus, a new epidemic. There's 2 strategies. One, You can stamp out every single case in the world, every single case in the world and then the virus it? Then you're free. You've stopped that epidemic without achieving herd immunity but you must cut every single case in the world. With a mild disease That's incredibly difficult. That's the phase that we were in when we were trying to do containment and everybody else was kind of trying to do containment yeah Trying to stamp out every single case in the world. It hasn't worked, yeah? We haven't managed to do that. The next phase when the virus, it. The genie is out of the bottle. The virus is all around the world and spreading. The next phase, the only other way that the epidemic is going to come to a stop is achieving herd immunity.

In the past 9 days, I have been working in an intensive care unit for COVID-19 patients. However, I have noticed some unusual medical phenomena that don't align with the expected viral pneumonia. The common understanding is that COVID-19 starts with mild symptoms and progresses to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). But based on what I have seen, I believe we may be treating the wrong disease. This misconception could potentially harm a large number of people in a short period of time. I fear that our current medical paradigm is incorrect and that we need to reevaluate our approach to COVID-19.

Speaker 0: 9 days ago, I opened an intensive care unit to care for the sickest COVID positive patients in the city. In these 9 days, I have seen things I have never seen before. In treating these patients, I have witnessed medical phenomenon that just don't make sense in the context of treating a disease that is supposed to be a viral pneumonia. 9 days ago, I presumed I was opening an intensive care unit to treat patients with a virus causing a pneumonia That was ravaging lungs across the world, starting out as something mild, cough, a sore throat, and progressively increasing in severity until ultimately ending in something called acute respiratory distress syndrome or ARDS. This is the paradigm that Every hospital in the country is working under. This is the disease ARDS that every hospital is preparing to treat. And this is the disease ARDS for which in the next 2 to 6 weeks, a 100000 Americans might be put on a ventilator. And yet, everything I have seen in the last 9 days, All the things that just don't make sense, the patients I'm seeing in front of me, the lungs I'm trying to improve have led me to believe That COVID nineteen is not this disease and that we are operating under a medical paradigm that is untrue. In short, I believe we are treating the wrong disease and I fear that this misguided treatment will lead to a tremendous amount of harm to a great number of people in a very short time.

The speaker agrees with Gabriel's paper that the goal should be to eliminate the disease and achieve zero infection. They mention that countries with a SARS strategy, rather than a flu strategy, have been the most successful in tackling the coronavirus. The speaker shares an example of their sister's experience in Beijing, where she was escorted from the airport to her home by Ministry of Health officials and put into quarantine for two weeks. The seriousness of these measures reflects the determination to stop any potential source of infection.

Speaker 0: I very much agree with the central point in in Gabriel's paper that we should be aiming for zero infection, and elimination of the disease because that is basically the approach taken in countries which have a SARS strategy as opposed to a a flu strategy. And those are the countries that have overwhelmingly been the most successful in in tackling coronavirus. And, you know, I just my sister lives in Beijing, and she flew back to Beijing in the middle of lockdown. And just to give you an an idea of the contrast, she was escorted from the airport in Beijing to her home by Ministry of Health officials, and then, put into her home for 2 weeks quarantine. The door was sealed, and, she had a police car sitting outside the house, periodically. And I'm not we go that far in this country. But I just think it's an indication of how serious they are in the countries that have had to deal with SARS about stopping at the root every possible source of infection.

Dr. Fauci and Dr. Brooks discuss concerns about the misreporting of deaths due to COVID-19. They mention that in the past, when testing was not widely available, some countries recorded deaths caused by the virus as heart or kidney issues instead of COVID-19. However, in the US, if someone dies with COVID-19, it is counted as a COVID-19 death. There are concerns raised by coroners about the accuracy of this reporting. The conversation ends with a question about whether this reporting method skews the data.

Prior to that, when there wasn't testing in January And let's say the virus caused you to go to the ICU and then have a heart or kidney problem. Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID nineteen death. Right now we're still recording it. The great thing about having forms that come in and a form that has the ability to market as COVID-nineteen infection, the U. S.

The speaker asks if a PCR test can be used to determine if a patient is no longer infectious. The other speaker explains that if the cycle threshold is 35 or higher, the chances of the virus being able to replicate are very low. They mention that it is frustrating for both patients and physicians when the cycle threshold is high, but it is unlikely to culture the virus. They conclude that if the cycle threshold is 37, 38, or even 36, it is just dead nucleotides.

Speaker 0: I'm wondering if you think we could use, a cutoff of viral loads determined by PCR to say this patient is no longer infectious, can go home, can go to a nursing facility? Because right now the physicians are really having a hard time with that. Speaker 1: Right. Again, a good question and what is now sort of, evolving into a bit of a standard That if you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more, that the chances of it being replication competent are minuscule. So that if somebody and you know, we do. We have patients and it's very frustrating for the patients as well as for the physicians. Somebody comes in and they repeat their PCR and it's like 37 cycle threshold, but you never you almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle.

A woman's doctor refused to attend her delivery because she declined the vaccine, leading her to choose a home birth. However, when she went into labor prematurely, she had to go to the hospital. The obstetrics and gynecology department refused to treat her because she was unvaccinated, leaving her in the ambulance bay for 30 minutes. Eventually, she delivered with the help of a paramedic while her husband waited outside. The pressure on pregnant women to get vaccinated was deemed unethical, as they were told they needed the vaccine or their delivery would be unsupported and their husband couldn't be present.

They, in fact, they made it so mandatory that a friend of mine who refused to take the vaxx was told by her doctor that he would not attend her delivery. And, she and her husband made a decision that they would deliver the baby at home. It was her 4th, it was an uncomplicated pregnancy. But the labour started 4 weeks before her due date so they became concerned that, they might be dealing with a preemie and they decided she should deliver in the hospital. And, when she arrived in the ambulance bay in labour no one from the obstetrics and gynecology department at that hospital where she was at would come downstairs and treat her because they said she was unvaxxed and they didn't want anything to do with her. So she sat in the ambulance bay for 30 minutes and finally delivered having a paramedic attend her while their husband sat outside in the parking lot trying to follow on a cell phone. The pressure on pregnant women was extreme and totally unethical. You they were told they must have this vaccine or I will not attend your your delivery. You must have this vaccine or else your husband won't be able to be with you when the baby's born.

Zeynep Tufekci and Jeremy Howard played a role in shifting CDC guidance and ushering in mask mandates across America. A Cochrane review confirmed that masks made little to no difference in preventing COVID or flu. However, Tufekci's op-ed in the NYT went viral and drowned out news of the Cochrane review. Tufekci and Howard submitted a preprint arguing that everyone should wear masks, which influenced the CDC to reverse its mask guidance. They then focused on getting states to mandate masks. Tufekci advocated for child masking and full lockdowns. They also pushed for more COVID interventions based on information from China.

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

This story was always false, if not a lie. Today, the Czech Republic is among the 10 worst countries in the world in terms of its recorded number of “COVID deaths.” Yet this falsehood was the impetus for #Masks4All and soon a basis for mask mandates across the world. 12/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

With the assistance of the WEF Young Global Leaders, Howard published “Simple DIY masks could help flatten the curve. We should all wear them in public.” in WaPo, gushing about the Czech Republic’s mask mandate and citing Chinese CDC Director George Gao. 13/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Indeed, in journal articles, “Chinese expert consensus” had advised ventilators as the “first choice” for COVID.

Zeynep relies on a selection of clinical studies, none of which are RCTs; this same level of evidence would show that any number of silly things work against COVID, from ginseng to magnesium to melatonin to fish oil. 36/

Zeynep cites a trial from Bangladesh which found an 11% reduction in COVID cases when villagers were given masks, without disclosing a re-analysis that found no benefit and attributed that finding to bias. 37/ https://trialsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13063-022-06704-z

When asked if the CDC will revise its guidance to mandate masks in schools in light of the Cochrane review showing masks do not curb COVID, CDC Director Walensky tells Congress its advice on child masking will never change. “Our masking guidance doesn’t really change with time.”

Video Transcript AI Summary

The CDC is the only agency recommending masks for 2-year-old children. The process for updating guidance involves reviewing studies like the Cochrane review, which mainly includes trials for other respiratory viruses. COVID-19 is different because it can transmit before symptoms appear. Wearing masks is crucial, but the study mentioned had limitations, such as people not fully engaging in the intervention. Masking guidance for schools depends on COVID-19 transmission levels in the community. In low or moderate transmission areas, masking is not recommended, but it is for high transmission areas. The timeline for updating guidance depends on disease levels in the community. When there is a lot of disease, masks are recommended, and when there is less, they can be removed.

Speaker 0: In fact, Speaker 1: the CDC is currently the only national or international public health agency that recommends masking 2 year old children. I'd like you to explain in detail the process and the timeline by which evidence such as this is used by the CDC to update, modify or Necessary, withdraw current guidance. Speaker 0: Great, thank you for the opportunity to clarify on those points. So I believe you're referring to the Cochrane review study. This is an important study. But the Cochrane review only includes randomized clinical trials. And as you can imagine, many of the randomized clinical trials that were included in that were other respiratory viruses, not COVID nineteen. Some of them were for COVID nineteen, just to be clear. But it is very different for COVID nineteen because you have a virus that Different from flu, potentially different from SARS or MERS transmits before you actually have symptoms. It's also the case that one of the limitations in that study was Clearly stated that people were not actually engaged in the intervention. So you actually have to wear the mask for it to work. So there are lots of studies now in Georgia. Doctor. Belinsky, Speaker 1: Why are we masking our kids today? Speaker 0: Thank you. Also, so our guidance for school based masking is related to our COVID nineteen community levels. And in this country where most of our country is in green or yellow, that has Low or moderate transmission are COVID-nineteen community levels. And in those situations, we actually don't recommend masking. We recommend it for high COVID-nineteen community levels. Speaker 1: So what is your timeline for updating, reevaluating these guidance? Speaker 0: You know, our masking guidance doesn't really change with time. What it changes with is disease.

Balaji Srinivasan, a tech mogul, predicted the global adoption of China's COVID response, including remote work, face masks, and reduced vaccine approval time. He also coined the term "new normal," which was later used by pro-lockdown officials. Balaji's tweets may suggest a plan to recreate China's COVID response globally.

THREAD: Balaji Srinivasan: The Man Who Couldn’t Wait for COVID to Ring In the ‘New Normal’ Balaji’s ‘prophecies’ may be the best evidence yet that there was a plan to recreate China’s COVID response globally, down to the particular details of how the world would transform. 1/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Going back to the initial weeks of 2020, prior to the western world’s first lockdown in Lombardy, Italy, on February 21, it’s remarkable how normal things were. The Atlantic, for example, published a great piece titled You’re Likely to https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/02/covid-vaccine/607000/

You’re Likely to Get the Coronavirus Most cases are not life-threatening, which is also what makes the virus a historic challenge to contain. theatlantic.com

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

There was Xi’s lockdown in Wuhan, but most commentators opined on how brutal and illiberal it was. One thing virtually no one in the world was doing prior to the lockdown of Lombardy was hoping the rest of the world would adopt China’s lockdown policy. 3/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/02/chinas-reaction-to-the-coronavirus-outbreak-violates-human-rights

Among the few people in the world who looked positively on the prospect of global adoption of China’s lockdowns, one stands out: Balaji Srinivasan, a tech mogul who couldn’t tweet enough about all the details of the “new normal” the world would soon see 4/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Balaji first began tweeting about the new virus on Jan 30, 2020. This is the same day an anonymous stock tip was posted saying the WHO was already privately planning to recreate China’s response across the world, first by locking down Italian cities. 5/ https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/241674007/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Balaji’s first tweets on the subject came in the form of a detailed and widely-shared thread about all the changes the world would soon see if this turned out to be “the pandemic that public health people have been warning about for years.” 6/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Like the anonymous stock tip, an unbelievable number of Balaji’s seemingly-wild “predictions” turned out to be near-perfect prognoses. With the entire world following China’s containment model, remote work did soon take over the world. 7/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Though they’d been ruled out by existing public health literature across the western world, everyone did soon begin wearing face masks following a sharp, unscientific reversal by the public health establishment in April 2020. 8/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

And, governments across the world did sharply reduce the approval time for vaccine development. 9/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Days later, Balaji posted another thread in which he observed the Wuhan lockdown would precipitate a flip into digital life, moving “away from handshakes, restaurants, and public gatherings.” 10/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Balaji “predicted” it would take a year for a vaccine to arrive, and in the meantime, the rest of the world would follow Wuhan’s COVID response into this new form of “remote life.” 11/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Balaji’s language about moving away from “handshakes” mirrored that which would soon come from leading public health officials including Anthony Fauci, who two months later suggested that Americans should never shake hands again due to COVID. 12/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

This idea that COVID would soon lead the world into a “new normal” is one that Balaji repeated several times. 13/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Like his messaging about moving away from “handshakes,” Balaji’s exact term, the “new normal,” would soon be used by leading pro-lockdown officials all over the world—such as vocal “Zero Covid” advocate Walter Ricciardi, liaison between WHO and Italy. 14/ https://sciencemediahub.eu/2020/03/27/how-to-achieve-the-nuova-normalita/amp/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Balaji was especially excited about all the CCP propaganda on new tech being deployed during China’s lockdowns, owing to their “wartime levels of medical innovation.” 15/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

After the WHO issued its February 2020 report endorsing the global adoption of China’s lockdowns, NYT reporter Donald McNeil wrote an article admiring how “China is a place where a leader can ask himself, ‘What would Mao do?’ and just do it.” 16/ https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/28/sunday-review/coronavirus-quarantine.html

To Take On the Coronavirus, Go Medieval on It (Published 2020) Quarantines and restrictive measures served a purpose in the old days. They can now, too. nytimes.com

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

At the time, many commentators found the idea of copying China’s lockdown policy so ridiculous that they thought McNeil’s article had to be satire. 17/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

But Balaji cited McNeil’s article positively in a thread about how Saint Louis had supposedly saved many lives by canceling parades during the Spanish flu, a kind of propaganda story shared widely as part of the initial justification for lockdowns. 18/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Balaji later cited one of McNeil’s interviews for the proposition that “we should know *exactly* what the Chinese did, and determine which of those features are compatible with our ethics and which are not, and then execute.” 19/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Balaji expressed great admiration for Bill Gates, an influential advocate for the global adoption of China’s lockdown policies, and on multiple occasions proposed the idea of making Bill Gates America’s “virus czar.” 20/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Gates later complained “freedom” was hindering the western COVID response; China, by contrast, “did a very good job of suppressing the virus,” he said, thanks to the “authoritarian” approach and the “individual rights that were violated.” 21/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

On many occasions, Balaji stressed that leaders needed to be more afraid of the coronavirus, quoting WHO Director Tedros Adhanom: “All countries must use the window of opportunity created by the containment strategy to prepare for the virus’s possible arrival.” 22/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

When a tech reporter wrote an article poking fun at Balaji’s tweets, he wrote a detailed thread in retort, purporting to show why panic about COVID was justified—while also taking the opportunity to plug “tech the Chinese are using to fight virus.” 23/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

To recap, Balaji, a high-profile investor, began tweeting on January 30, 2020—three weeks before the modern western world’s first-ever lockdown in Lombardy, Italy—and the same day an anonymous stock tip was posted saying: 24/ https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/241674007/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Balaji had supposedly predicted COVID would be a global pandemic; the world would adopt China’s lockdown policy; everyone would soon wear a mask; life would go remote; it would take a year for a vaccine to arrive; and by that time the world would shift into a “new normal.” 25/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Frankly, I don’t buy it. Balaji’s supposed fear of the coronavirus seems belied by the excitement he so frequently expressed about all the new tech being unveiled in Wuhan, as well as his utter loss of interest in COVID after spring 2020. 26/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Imo, it’s far more likely Balaji is exactly the kind of “high profile investor” described in the stock tip, who’d caught wind of the seismic plans being hatched by the WHO and their collaborators to recreate China’s COVID response across the world. 27/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Astonishingly, Balaji even referred to lockdown in the US as a “bottom-up” policy—utterly belied by the fact he was one of only a few people in the world who’d expressed anything close to a desire to emulate China’s lockdowns prior to Lombardy. 28/

@MichaelPSenger - Michael P Senger

Unlike Tomás Pueyo, it’s unlikely that Balaji’s Twitter prophecies had a major effect on policy—though he did spread a bit of panic to bring these outcomes about. 29/ https://michaelpsenger.substack.com/p/tomas-pueyo-returns-the-mba-who-shut

As we continue to navigate the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it's important to reflect on the decisions and actions taken by those in power. A real inquiry into the response to COVID would investigate many disturbing questions that have yet to be fully answered. One such question is why the CDC suddenly adopted social distancing measures in 2004. Additionally, who exported the concept of lockdowns to Liberia and Sierra Leone in 2014? These are important questions that need to be addressed in order to fully understand the decisions made during the pandemic. Another concerning issue is why pandemic plans were not followed. It's important to understand why these plans were not implemented and what could have been done differently to better prepare for a pandemic. Furthermore, why were health security officials talking about curfews of indefinite duration by February 24, 2020? This raises questions about the extent of government control and the potential infringement on individual rights. Additionally, why were beaches and other outdoor spaces closed? It's important to understand the reasoning behind these decisions and whether they were truly necessary. Finally, why were so many federal officials so intimately involved in the censorship of dissenting COVID opinions on social media? This raises concerns about freedom of speech and the potential for censorship to be used as a tool of those in power. Without answers to these questions, democracy is at risk. It's important to continue to investigate and hold those in power accountable for their actions during the pandemic.

The top leaders were convicted despite not directly committing the crimes. There was no international court, body of law, judges, or courthouse at the time. They had to start from scratch. A lawyer named Marie Bernays devised a philosophy for the trial, the conspiracy theory. It claimed that the Nazi movement was not just a political movement, but a criminal conspiracy to seize territory, steal wealth, exterminate Jews, etc. Being part of the Nazi leadership meant being part of this criminal conspiracy.

Video Transcript AI Summary

There has been a significant return on investment, but it's not as high as claimed. Vaccinated individuals are protected against COVID-19 and its variants, reducing transmission and allowing society to return to normal. Getting both vaccine shots is crucial. Vaccinated people are unlikely to get infected, be hospitalized, or die from the virus. They can participate in activities without masks or distancing, but they can still transmit the virus. Vaccines slightly reduce transmission, but a new approach is needed. Israel's experience suggests a potential need for booster shots. The plan is for every adult to receive a booster shot. Overall, it has been a great investment.

Video Transcript AI Summary

China effectively suppressed the virus through authoritarian measures, violating individual rights but achieving impressive results. Their ability to quickly build hospitals and enforce mask-wearing kept virus numbers low. This strict lockdown approach set a new tone for other countries' responses, deviating from the traditional epidemiological playbook. Even Sweden, often cited for its different approach, still implemented behavioral changes. As for the US, despite being the world's largest economy and having top epidemiologists, its response has been poor. The speaker attributes this to a belief in freedom, implying a reluctance to implement strict measures.

Speaker 0: In their typical, fairly authoritarian way, they did a very good job of suppressing the virus. You know, there may have been a lot of individual rights that were violated there, but the overall macro effect that they achieved, is, you know, quite, kind of amazing, they had the benefit that it was really Hubei, you know, 60,000,000 people and they brought in the health resources, 1,400,000,000 and their ability to build hospitals, very, very quickly and force compliance with masks and various other things, but they've kept the virus numbers to very low levels, compared to most countries. Speaker 1: Do you think the fact that China went into this very strict lockdown very quickly set the tone for the way other countries responded? Because that was not really part of the epidemiological playbook, before. Speaker 0: No, you're absolutely right. I, you know, I live in infectious diseases and how you stop them. And so when we were first talking about the shutdown, I was like, wow, we're really gonna do this. Are people really willing to do this? How much productivity are we gonna lose by doing this. So that day we sat there in early March and said, okay, no one comes to the foundation offices and they haven't been since, you know, we were talking with Microsoft about it, and they did the same thing. I remember thinking, gosh, I wish we practice for this because it's such a novel idea. And so I think, yes, that influence things. The idea that you would just let it rip, and nobody really did that. Even Sweden that people call out did ask for behavioral change. They didn't do pure bans quite as much and during the epidemic there have been periods where it looked like their approach was smart, then it looked like it wasn't smart, you know, that still swivels around to this day about the relative health and economic effects that they experienced versus other countries. Speaker 1: Now let's turn to the US because it's the country, you know, it's the world's biggest economy. It's the preeminent public health Country in the world has got the world's best epidemiologist. I mean, why is it done so badly? Speaker 0: Well, we believe in freedom.
