Covid19: Global reports, news and updates

[DaveToo]

OK, folks here today recommended two videos that we should see.
BIGGIES!


"Truth About Vaccines 2020 - Vaccine Roundtable Part 2,"

and

"VICTORY - Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci & Big Pharma lost a Massive Supreme Court Case in USA"

I am scratching my head in total confusion.

I watched the Victory video where the doctor is all excited about a 'supreme' court victory.

But then I just started watching the "Vaccine Roundtable Part 2" video and they are all
extremely worried about the impending Gates vaccine to get all 7 billion of us.

Is this a case of timing, ie. the Vaccine Roundtable Part 2 video came out first?
Or is the Victory video, not as big as it's being touted for?

Does anyone know?

A subject of discussion on a couple of other threads, but so far there is no indication I am aware of that the claim about the Supreme Court victory is credible.
And certainly, if it were, RKF Jr. and friends would know.

COVID: David Crowe’s brilliant new paper takes apart antibody testing
by Jon Rappoport
May 15, 2020

"Assuming that a new virus called COVID-19 was actually discovered—we are being told that antibody tests are a vital tool for determining who is immune and who is not.

These tests are heralded as essential and necessary, despite some downplayed doubt among “experts” about how reliable they are.

Canadian author and long-time independent researcher, David Crowe, has written a new paper, “Antibody Testing for COVID-19.” (May 13, 2020).

(For David Crowe’s paper that challenges the discovery of the COVID-19 virus, click here.)

I can safely say it is the most detailed analysis of the tests anyone will ever read.

It approaches the subject from a number of angles, and includes a breakdown of the test-kit manufacturers and the comparative results of their efforts to bring a useful test to the public.

Here are several devastating excerpts from Crowe’s very deep dive:

“The only jurisdiction with a formal structure for approval of antibody tests is the United States but, until very recently, it was a complete joke, as the test manufacturers did not need to provide validation data. Now it is only a partial joke, as validation data must be provided, but the FDA can only do a paper analysis. Imagine if auto-manufacturers had to build cars to certain EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) fuel efficiency standards, but rather than sending a car to the EPA for testing, they could do the testing at their facilities, and just send the results in afterwards…”

“Antibody tests are often subject to cross-reactions with other conditions. This could be because the [other irrelevant] medical condition produces similar antibodies, or because something related to that [other] condition reacts with other test components. The choice of [cross-reacting] conditions to check for is completely under the control of the manufacturer and even when no cross reactions were found for a condition, the number of samples tested was so small that the possibility of a fairly high rate of false positive cross reactions still exists.”

“Positive antibody tests have only been found in a minority of people in the general population even where the virus is believed to have been circulating for months. These fractions are generally taken as truth, but one would expect a highly infectious virus to have spread much more widely…The one experiment that could show whether antibody tests are actually meaningful would be a time series of a large number of people who are currently negative on all tests. This experiment would be time consuming, inefficient (as many people would never become positive on any tests), intrusive (frequent nasal swabs and blood tests) and obviously very expensive. Those are practical considerations, but in the absence of such an experiment we are almost totally in the dark about COVID-19 antibody testing. Given the billions being spent on COVID and the trillions being lost by the economy, it surely is not impossible to do some worthwhile science.”

David Crowe’s paper demands widespread notice and very careful study. He has provided a great service.

Superficial reliance on antibody tests has no connection to real science. Yet, the so-called experts are using these tests to make momentous decisions about the present and future of humans on Earth.

The official experts have literally taken over governments in a grand coup. They must be rejected on every level."

For members and guests in the UK this may be an interesting situation to keep an eye on. (It's reminiscent of Gina Miller successfully holding the UK government to account over the EU referendum where she pushed for any decision made be decided on a legal basis by parliament and not executive fiat, in line with the law.)

It's a positive step.

Government faces legal action over refusal to publish Sage minutes

Businessman Simon Dolan says ministers must disclose science behind lockdown

Article here
By Lisa O'Carroll
Published on Sat 16 May 2020 11.18 BST

A millionaire businessman is launching legal action against the government after it refused to disclose minutes of the Sage meetings that informed its decision to impose the coronavirus lockdown.

Simon Dolan, who owns Jota Aviation, said he received an unsatisfactory response to his challenge over the legality of the lockdown in a “letter before action” sent two weeks ago.

He and his lawyers intend to go to the high court to seek permission for an urgent judicial review of the background to the lockdown imposed on 23 March. He had sought to obtain minutes from meetings of the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage).

“We are pressing ahead with the case and expect to be heard within the next 10 days or so,” Dolan said. “I believe it is absolutely crucial in holding the government to account – they have introduced entirely unprecedented restrictions on basic freedoms, caused the losses of millions of jobs, destroyed businesses, incurred eye-watering amounts of debt, which will take generations to pay back, and yet they refuse to share the basic information they say they rely on to make these devastating decisions.”

His lawyers have argued that the lockdown was ultra vires – outside of legal authority – because it implemented regulations under the Public Health Act 1984 instead of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 or the emergency Coronavirus Act 2020.

They have also argued that the lockdown, which must be reviewed every three weeks, was reimposed on a “disproportionate” basis in law, using an “over-rigid” test regarding its effect on containing the disease but not its impact on the economy, jobs and wider health; and third, that it breached the European convention on human rights covering the right to liberty, family life, education and property.

Dolan was seeking disclosure of the minutes of Sage meetings this year to give the government the opportunity to fully explain its justifications for the five tests Boris Johnson has set out for lifting the lockdown.

“It is now apparent that the five tests are nothing more than another example of empty rhetoric,” he said. ”Remember ‘flatten the curve?’ The curve is flat [but] we are still in lockdown. Remember ‘Save the NHS’? It’s been running at 60% capacity across the board for the entire period.” Dolan argued that economic tests should also be part of the publicly argued tests for continuing a strict lockdown.

Dolan says he is not opposed to the lockdown in principle, but to what he describes as a “totalitarian” approach involving lack of transparency over Sage advice and other key government advice.

“What is [the government] afraid of? Why won’t it let the public see the advice that it continually says it is following? Surely we all have a right to see why we remain in lockdown, why millions of people are not allowed to earn a living or see family or friends,” he said.

The government has been widely criticised in the last week for the lack of clarity in its lockdown guidelines. Scotland and Wales are continuing to tell residents to “stay at home”, while Boris Johnson has relaxed the message in England.

Johnson is also under pressure after epidemiological models suggested transmission rates in London were now half those in north-east England and Yorkshire, raising the question of whether all areas would be safe to emerge from lockdown at the same time.

The Department of Health and Social Care has been approached for comment.

Finally we reach a point where everything becomes remarkably clear, again - and not just because reviewing the Imperial College report has reignited my anger at the initial fraud. No, their own data reveals an astonishing and simple fact: the best treatment for the Covid-19 pandemic (or political games) is to move your country away from one of the three western power centres: NY City, London and Brussels. Practical? Sadly not... in which case, watch this, share the heck out of it, and stock up on pitchforks.

kudos to Wisconsin Supreme Court striking down the state's stay-at-home order:

• While lockdown orders have been challenged across several states, the latest decision from Wisconsin marks the first such lawsuit to succeed against a broader political debate taking place across the nation.
  
• In a 4-3 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the state's stay-at-home order as "unlawful, invalid, and unenforceable" and said the state's health secretary exceeded her authority.
  
• The order, which had been set to run until May 26, also restricted travel and business, along with threatening jail time or fines for those who don't comply.

David Starkey: Covid-19 -- Britain's Disastrous Response Will Have Devastating Consequences

The New Culture Forum Channel
61.6K subscribers
This week on "So What You're Saying Is...": Dr. David Starkey argues that a calamitous series of events and decisions caused a panicked British government to recklessly abandon its sensible coronavirus plan for one that is likely to harm the nation far more than the virus itself.

Comparing this virus with historical pandemics Starkey believes the dire situation we are encountering today has a different cause. Earlier pandemics such as the Black Death eradicated up to half of the population of Europe. In contrast, although it is profoundly tragic on a personal level to the individuals and familiies it afflicts, coronavirus is nowhere near as devastating on a population-wide level as previous pandemics. Consequently, Starkey argues, the Conservative government was correct to follow a similar path to Sweden which was far more relaxed than elsewhere in Europe.

This approach suited Prime MInister Boris Johnson's libertarian attitude and personality. But on a single weekend there was a calamitous confluence of events and decisions that caused the Tory government to panic (Northwick Park hospital overwhelmed, Imperial College modelling showing potential 500,00 deaths etc.) and enforce an extreme lockdown without any plan to deal with the epidemic. It was simply a goal to protect the NHS.

Protect the NHS: The Tory Government, says Dr. Starkey, was desperate not to be seen as responsible or the NHS being overwhelmed. Eager to prove to the traditional Labour "Red Wall" that the Conservative Party really was their natural home, the British government prioritised the NHS's capacity to deal with Covid-19 over everything else-- but disastrously this included its treatment of cancer patients etc. A bizarre and unprecdented abandoning of the Hippocratic oath that we have not seen in other countries, argues Starkey.

DOD And HHS Award $138 Million Contract To ApiJect Systems To Provide Prefilled COVID-19 Vaccine Syringes With RFID Microchip Tracking System
MAY 12, 2020
https://www.3ccorp.net/2020/05/12/do...acking-system/

(I can't keep up with all the news, and this is from a week ago, so maybe things have changed since then, but this article is very disturbing. No word as yet as far as I know as to whether the Covid vaccine will be officially declared mandatory, but if it is, I imagine there is going to be plenty of rioting in the streets.)


“Today the Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announce a $138 million contract with ApiJect Systems America for “Project Jumpstart” and “RAPID USA,” which together will dramatically expand U.S. production capability for domestically manufactured, medical-grade injection devices starting by October 2020. Lt. Col. Mike Andrews, Department of Defense spokesman

Back in March, the Department of Health and Human Services partnered with a company called ApiJect, what does ApiJect they make? They make pre-filled syringes for injecting people with vaccines, and then provide RFID microchip tracking after the shot is administered. You will see in the main graphic for this article an RFID syringe displayed on the screen of a mobile device. Today, May 12, the DoD and the HHS handed ApiJect a check for $138 million, with an order to deliver hundreds of millions of these devices by October of 2020.

Spearheaded by the DOD’s Joint Acquisition Task Force (JATF), in coordination with the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, the contract will support “Jumpstart” to create a U.S.-based, high-speed supply chain for prefilled syringes beginning later this year by using well-established Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) aseptic plastics manufacturing technology, suitable for combatting COVID-19 when a safe and proven vaccine becomes available.

The contract also enables ApiJect Systems America to accelerate the launch of RAPID USA manufactured in new and permanent U.S.-based BFS facilities with the ultimate production goal of over 500 million prefilled syringes (doses) in 2021.

Welcome to the ‘new normal’, it comes with an RFID microchip-enabled COVID-19 vaccination syringe with your name on it. That’s the new normal. The only question is what will you do when they come to your door, and tell you it’s mandatory? You might want to figure out your response to that scenario sooner rather than later. Now would be a good time.

New Public-Private Partnership Created to Develop a U.S.-Based High-Speed, Emergency Surge Drug Packaging Solution, Using Mass-Manufacturable Prefilled Syringes with Optional Mobile-Based GPS Tracking and Confirmation
FROM PRNEWSWIRE: ApiJect Systems America, a public benefit corporation based here, today joined with the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in announcing the launch of a public-private partnership dedicated to creating a U.S.-based high-speed, high-volume, emergency drug packaging solution, establishing “surge capacity” for mass-manufacturable prefilled syringes.

“Today the Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announce a $138 million contract with ApiJect Systems America for “Project Jumpstart” and “RAPID USA,” which together will dramatically expand U.S. production capability for domestically manufactured, medical-grade injection devices starting by October 2020.” Lt. Col. Mike Andrews, Department of Defense spokesman READ MORE

The new consortium, called RAPID — Rapid Aseptic Packaging of Injectable Drugs — will be created and managed by ApiJect Systems America. Its purpose is to enable the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) to fill and finish hundreds of millions of prefilled syringes to respond quickly and effectively to health emergencies such as COVID-19. The RAPID Consortium will build a surge capacity network of up to eight domestic packaging facilities using a well- established, drug-packaging process called Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS). The BFS process, used in sterile manufacturing facilities worldwide, features a high volume, small medical-grade plastic container that holds a prefilled volume of medicines or vaccines. FDA-approved BFS technology is already used to package billions of doses annually for medicines to treat respiratory conditions, rotavirus oral vaccines and more. The RAPID Consortium will combine this well-established BFS technology with an innovative interlocking needle hub. The result is a prefilled syringe that eliminates the inefficiencies and difficulties of packaging medicines in, and drawing medicines from, glass vials using disposable syringes.In addition, each prefilled syringe has the option to include an NFC chip that incorporates a secure unique ID number. This enables healthcare professionals at the point of care to use an app on their smartphones to verify that the drug being injected is authentic and unexpired. It also enables health authorities to know in real time when and where each dose is injected.

ApiJect Systems America CEO Jay Walker commented: “This partnership launched by HHS means we have joined the vital effort to battle our nation’s most urgent public health emergency in our lifetime.”

Walker continued: “American industry has a long history of rising to the occasion to provide for emergency needs in times of crisis. Our manufacturing sector, virtually overnight, built the tools that enabled us to prevail in World War Two. Our health sector innovated to turn the tide against polio and saved millions of lives from HIV/AIDS. The need today to deliver emergency therapeutics and an eventual vaccine for COVID-19 or other public health threats is no greater a challenge than those we have responded to in the past. Our partnership with HHS will enable us to ensure that when critical therapeutics and vaccines are available to meet this crisis, the necessary volume of ready-to-use prefilled syringes will be ready to deliver these essential medicines.”

ABOUT APIJECT
ApiJect Systems America is dedicated to making injectable medicines safe and available for everyone. By using high-speed, high-volume Blow-Fill-Seal plastics technology, we can supply hundreds of millions of ultra-low-cost prefilled syringes in 30 days – with optional RFID tags to enable GPS-based mobile tracking. This will enable governments to better defend their citizens against pandemics, while also improving global access to essential medicines. ApiJect Systems America is contracted with the U.S. government to create and manage the Consortium for Rapid Aseptic Packaging of Injectable Drugs (the RAPID Consortium), a public-private partnership. When fully funded and built out, RAPID will give the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), and the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile, the capability to fill and finish up to 330 million prefilled syringes per month to respond quickly and efficiently to national or smaller-scale health emergencies. The BFS prefilled syringe was conceived and developed by ApiJect’s Head of R&D, noted UK public health leader Marc Koska, OBE. Mr. Koska previously innovated the K1 Auto-Disable Syringe, which is estimated to have saved 12 million lives to date by supporting safe injections.

[B]DOD And HHS Award $138 Million Contract To ApiJect Systems To Provide Prefilled COVID-19 Vaccine Syringes With RFID Microchip Tracking System

My understanding is that an RFID syringe is an interface between the syringe and a computer to prevent incorrect drug or dosage, air embolism, re-use, or other human error according to Apiject:

"specifically injection safety in low and middle-income countries where needle reuse and contaminated multi-dose vials kill as many as two million people every year and infect 10 million or more with transmissible diseases such as HIV and Hep-C."

which is consistent with the first development of the device in 2008. It "tracks" the injection or actual use, so, I guess when a doctor is about to give you Hepatitis, you can read, on-screen, "You are being given hepatitis". Something like that.

"every prefilled syringe can have an RFID chip attached. This will allow healthcare workers to use their mobile phones to automatically capture where and when every injection takes place."

That is how that part works. As far as what lies behind it, inside the syringe, I have no clue and no interest in being mandated to experience it. I do not believe that damaging my streets or surroundings is going to be my reaction. Although I would not be surprised if we have riots various places for different reasons.

[onawah]

No matter how a mandatory vaccine is designed to be administered, if it's mandatory, I think enough people are going to realize that that signals the end of individual sovereignty.
That will no doubt mean lots of protests, and since the police have so far not taken the side of the people for the most part, I imagine it will also lead to some bloodshed.
If a mandatory vaccine is also going to include some sort of tracking device, then even more so.
I did a little research, and I haven't found any corroboration of the article predicting a tracking device being part of this particular vaccine, or that it is intended to be mandatory.
But they are making enough syringes to inject everyone in the US.
It may just have been a matter of some people jumping to conclusions and padding out the facts, but there is no doubt about what Gates wants, and he's been getting his way for quite some time now.
So I can understand the alarm that many must be feeling.

"DOD Awards $138 Million Contract, Enabling Prefilled Syringes for Future COVID-19 Vaccine
MAY 12, 2020
https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Rel...e/GovDelivery/

Statement attributed to Lt. Col. Mike Andrews, Department of Defense spokesman:

"Today the Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announce a $138 million contract with ApiJect Systems America for “Project Jumpstart” and “RAPID USA,” which together will dramatically expand U.S. production capability for domestically manufactured, medical-grade injection devices starting by October 2020.

By immediately upgrading a sufficient number of existing domestic BFS facilities with installations of filling-line and technical improvements, “Jumpstart” will enable the manufacture of more than 100 million prefilled syringes for distribution across the United States by year-end 2020.

The contract also enables ApiJect Systems America to accelerate the launch of RAPID USA manufactured in new and permanent U.S.-based BFS facilities with the ultimate production goal of over 500 million prefilled syringes (doses) in 2021. This effort will be executed initially in Connecticut, South Carolina and Illinois, with potential expansion to other U.S.-based locations. RAPID will provide increased lifesaving capability against future national health emergencies that require population-scale vaccine administration on an urgent basis.

RAPID’s permanent fill-finish production capability will help significantly decrease the United States’ dependence on offshore supply chains and its reliance on older technologies with much longer production lead times. These supplies can be used if a successful SARS-COV-2 vaccine is oral or intranasal rather than injectable."

[shaberon]

This is a non-update which is a bit of a rewind that may help us see what happened.

There was no new coronavirus until Dec. 27th, and this is the perspective of November 16.

What happened is that Beijing had found a couple who were presenting symptoms of Yersinia pestis.

This bacterium is native to central Asia, and is considered the Justinian Plague, the Black Death, and the 1850s Sino-Indian Plague.

A case of Plague came up in April, resulted in a quarantine, and now it can be stopped. So it is a potential epidemic, and there is a response. That is why they were supposed to talk to WHO. If it did not resemble Plague, there would not be much reason to even bring it up.

There have been other outbreaks, and Madagascar gets it twice a year. I don't remember any of us caring about Plague, ever, but something like this is known:

"...in 1994 I was in the Gujarat epicenter of a pneumonic plague epidemic in India, where the actual numbers of laboratory-confirmed infections were relatively small. But panic sparked a national hysteria in which every cough and fever seen from the Himalayas to the beaches of Goa were diagnosed as plague, filling hospital beds nationwide, causing a run on antibiotics, and spawning dark conspiracy theories about Pakistani, American, and Russian bioterrorism."

Although this article appears to be the day before the "first case" of Nov. 17th, the case is "traced back to", i. e., nothing was "new" the next day.

So for the most part, this is based from a legitimate concern, the Plague, which can be treated with emergency measures, usually just in that particular location, and you never know it is going on.

And so if nobody attached "new virus" to it, if it wasn't in the news and government, if it was just silently running its natural course, I wonder if we would notice at all.

If it ever is Plague, I would not object to an actual emergency, around my town, at some ludicrous level of constraint. For a really long time, like maybe about two weeks. I think that is realistic.

So there was potential Plague, or some kind of Pneumonia, that would not respond to regular treatments until it was called a virus in December, and no drastic measures were taken until Jan. 23. Would that have done much good if it was something as critical as Plague, no, probably not. They would have already been ripped to the ground. At this time, everyone else assumes they *don't* have it where they are. But it already is; no one noticed.

So in a place where it probably did run--not a Plague-like, but at least a noticeable rate--of problems, Iran does not need to import any more medical stuff for it, they have made twenty or so of their own products including a disinfectant which they say lasts seven days. They are now in the position of exporter of medical stuff and their death rates are going down. So it perhaps can be turned around and reasonably handled without the hundred billion dollar vaccines not invented yet; I personally would rather handle it without one.

Here, we notice nothing, hundreds of confirmed cases all around, a few people get sick from it. But you never noticed a few "out with a cold or something". I never checked anybody's doctor note to see exactly what germ they were carrying and whether there was anything I had to do about it.
