COVID-19: Genocide of the Old and Sick

Mass media, government

The gov't of Italy foolishly responded by sending sick people into nursing homes.  

Bloomberg's Tomara Remondini and Marco Bertacche wrote that in Italy "99% of Those Who Died from CoronaVirus Had Other Illnesses, Italy Says."  That's a Bloomberg headline.  So it's not like some organs of the major media and some journalists aren't trying to set the record straight.  It's just that the connected media, CNN, ABC News, etc. generally explode their stories on the scene with general hysteria anyway that almost any story sounds like it's an epidemic of some sort.  

The folks dying with the Coronavirus were already very sick.  And putting sick people into a nursing home where you've already got sick people is a recipe for disaster, a situation that anyone would recognize as dangerous except for Governors Cuomo of New York, Whitmar of Michigan, Newsome of California, and the governor of Washington state.  

There was never any reason to think that this virus was a threat to young, productive, working-age citizens.  

The idea was that sooner or later, people were going to get exposed to the CoronaVirus and that by locking down the entire population, the government thought that they could slow down the spread of the virus.  But the reality is that outside from a few locations, like New York City, there never was a major surge.  Check out this chart.  To me, it is the most damning of evidence as to where the "hotspots" or dangerous zones are: 

Thanks to Robert Wenzel for the article where this image is found.  Check out the share of deaths from Coronavirus in nursing homes.  

And then there was this:

This is a holocaust of the elderly and sick.  Thanks to Daniel McAdams' piece "COVID-19: Genocide of the Old and Sick."  It's not the young, the productive, or healthy working people who are dying.  If that's the case, then why is it the young who are complying to the letter of the recommendations with things like social distancing or wearing masks?  Masks cover up smiles.  They make a person seem threatening.  Think of doctors or surgeons.  These guys are not your friends.  

ENDING THE LOCK DOWNS SAVES LIVES

Thanks to Bob Wenzel for the video. 

Tucker Carlson’s take on the lockdowns has been pretty good.  I particularly liked his citations of the different headlines that have gone out of their way to condemn states that have reopened, like Georgia. We should praise Georgia for its courage to put risk back in the lives of individuals and away from government bureaucrats.  Don’t tell people to stay safe.  Tell people to stay free.  The Bezos' rag, The Washington Post, headlined an article with "Georgia Leads the Race to Become America's No. 1 Death Destination," an article by Dana Millbank on April 21, 2020.   

Bezos is onboard with Fauci, Birx, Ferguson, Gates, and other medical idiots.  He has mandated that all of his employees and contractors wear masks.  And we know now that masks cause people to get sick and develop respiratory conditions.  Does Bezos care?  Not about you.  Does Bezos stop to think about the benefits of the prophylactics?  Never.  Bezos follows government mandates.  If he follows government mandates, does that mean that Jeffrey receives gov't money or special protections or privileges?  For we all know that in the U.S., major corporations are on the receiving end of U.S. doled-out dollars, while the rest of us rely on the insights and strategies of capitalism to survive. 

"calls [to the suicide hotline] increased from the month of February to March went from 20 calls to 1,800."

Dr. Jeffrey, I. Barke, MD, is a medical practitioner serving in Newport Beach, CA.

Dr. Mark McDonald is a Clinical Psychiatrist and Medical Legal Expert, practicing in Los Angeles, CA.  The YouTube video description explains that

Mark McDonald, M.D., F.A.B.P.N., a double board-certified physician specializing in adult psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry will share his doctor-patient experiences during the Covid-19 shutdown.

DR. MCDONALD [3:07]: A recent tragedy that happened in his practice.  A 31-year-old woman he'd seen for depression.  She was on a cocktail of medications.  Remote history of opiate abuse.  She was due to see him this week, but he received a call from her step-mother, who lives in Atherton, who explained that she had died.  She was going to school at Antioch College to get her Masters in Counseling, the school shut down as all of the schools have from K through graduate.  She had to return to her apartment, where she lived alone, confine herself to a small space, no family, no boyfriend.  She had no 12-step meetings to go to to offer support.  And she was under stress.  Unknown to me, she declined.  I didn't hear from her or the therapist.  She found a supply of Fentynal and overdosed.  She was found unresponsive by paramedics and she died.  Again, she was healthy.

DR. BARKE: But Dr. McDonald, this is a death that has nothing to do with the viral infection.  This is a death that has to do with the unnecessary economic and medical shutdown in our country.  And I know that you're just one doctor practising, but this is being repeated over and over again.  And this is not unique to you, but it is going on throughout the country, is this correct? 

DR. MCDONALD:  It's going on everywhere.  The director for Didi Hersch Suicide Prevention Hotline, who was interviewed by the LA Times in early April, she manages the entire suicide prevention network in Los Angeles County, a private practice, a private outfit basically, and the calls that increased from the month of February to March went from 20 calls to 1,800.  So if that isn't a signal that a tremendous number of patients and non-patients, just residents here in LA that are suffering such distress that they need to call suicide prevention hotline, how many more are out there, and how many of them are now dead or suffering in silence waiting to see me or seeing you, or seeing any physician that they need healthcare from . . . .

DR. BARKE: The mental health crisis across our country as a result of the economic and medical shutdown is quite traumatic.  And as a primary care doctor, I am seeing this in my colleagues as well, where routine visits are just not happening, both for mental health and regular health problems.  So I think it's a tragedy, and we hope the message gets out that we need to open up our economy and most importantly we need to open up our healthcare so patients can start getting the care that they need to prevent tragedies like the one that you are describing.  

Thanks, Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx, Billie Gates, 

It's true that some folks impose self-isolation, but when governments do it you know they're not just giving you space.

Board-Certified Neurosurgeon: Masks Pose Serious Risk to the Healthy

Dr. Russell Blaylock, a Board-certified neurosurgeon, writes:

As for the scientific support for the use of face mask, a recent careful examination of the literature, in which 17 of the best studies were analyzed, concluded that, “ None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.”1   Keep in mind, no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Any recommendations, therefore, have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission. And, as you have seen, there is no conclusive evidence of their efficiency in controlling flu virus transmission...

Now that we have established that there is no scientific evidence necessitating the wearing of a face mask for prevention, are there dangers to wearing a face mask, especially for long periods? Several studies have indeed found significant problems with wearing such a mask. This can vary from headaches, to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, to hypoxia, all the way to serious life-threatening complications.

There is a difference between the N95 respirator mask and the surgical mask (cloth or paper mask) in terms of side effects. The N95 mask, which filters out 95% of particles with a median diameter >0.3 µm2 , because it impairs respiratory exchange (breathing) to a greater degree than a soft mask, and is more often associated with headaches. In one such study, researchers surveyed 212 healthcare workers (47 males and 165 females) asking about presence of headaches with N95 mask use, duration of the headaches, type of headaches and if the person had preexisting headaches.2

They found that about a third of the workers developed headaches with use of the mask, most had preexisting headaches that were worsened by the mask wearing, and 60% required pain medications for relief. As to the cause of the headaches, while straps and pressure from the mask could be causative, the bulk of the evidence points toward hypoxia and/or hypercapnia as the cause. That is, a reduction in blood oxygenation (hypoxia) or an elevation in blood C02 (hypercapnia). It is known that the N95 mask, if worn for hours, can reduce blood oxygenation as much as 20%, which can lead to a loss of consciousness, as happened to the hapless fellow driving around alone in his car wearing an N95 mask, causing him to pass out, and to crash his car and sustain injuries. I am sure that we have several cases of elderly individuals or any person with poor lung function passing out, hitting their head. This, of course, can lead to death.

A more recent study involving 159 healthcare workers aged 21 to 35 years of age found that 81% developed headaches from wearing a face mask.3   Some had pre-existing headaches that were precipitated by the masks. All felt like the headaches affected their work performance.

Unfortunately, no one is telling the frail elderly and those with lung diseases, such as COPD, emphysema or pulmonary fibrosis, of these dangers when wearing a facial mask of any kind—which can cause a severe worsening of lung function. This also includes lung cancer patients and people having had lung surgery, especially with partial resection or even the removal of a whole lung.

While most agree that the N95 mask can cause significant hypoxia and hypercapnia, another study of surgical masks found significant reductions in blood oxygen as well. In this study, researchers examined the blood oxygen levels in 53 surgeons using an oximeter. They measured blood oxygenation before surgery as well as at the end of surgeries.4 The researchers found that the mask reduced the blood oxygen levels (pa02) significantly. The longer the duration of wearing the mask, the greater the fall in blood oxygen levels.

The importance of these findings is that a drop in oxygen levels (hypoxia) is associated with an impairment in immunity. Studies have shown that hypoxia can inhibit the type of main immune cells used to fight viral infections called the CD4+ T-lymphocyte. This occurs because the hypoxia increases the level of a compound called hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which inhibits T-lymphocytes and stimulates a powerful immune inhibitor cell called the Tregs. . This sets the stage for contracting any infection, including COVID-19 and making the consequences of that infection much graver. In essence, your mask may very well put you at an increased risk of infections and if so, having a much worse outcome.

What this means is that the mindless and illiterate mask mandate are mandating serious health risks to customers and employees.  The mask is part of that security theater of corporate America that demands compliance of a new normal while flaunting traditions, proven, and long-lasting values.  It's as though corporate America isn't independent or entrepreneurial,  but that they themselves have willingly fastened government shackles around their business.  What an embarrassment.
