    I'll remind everyone why I'm continuing to post on this thread. The induced Coronavirus PANIC is an example of how the Leftist Liberal Leaders in the Democrat Party use every potential crisis as a political tool to gain more power. This directly relates to Gun Control as well as to this healthcare PANIC. These lessons must be learned by those who cherish Freedom & Independence from governmental overreach! The survival of America depends on an overwhelming response at the ballot box to these attempts to destroy our society from within!

    The LIES are BOLD and LOUDLY BROADCAST FAR & WIDE!

    Biden administration ends vaccine mandates -- but doesn't want to talk about it
    by Haisten Willis - May 04, 2023
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...ne-mandate-end

    The Biden administration's vaccine mandate began with a roar and ends with a whisper.
    when the mandate was announced. Biden's speech included harsh words for anyone who remained unvaccinated and promises that there would be consequences.
    The Supreme Court later struck down the order on private businesses, while few federal employees were fired.
    But Republicans, who fought against mandates from the start, celebrated their end as a win for freedom.
    Biden may have oversold the effectiveness of the vaccines as he struggled to keep his campaign promise to shut down the virus, saying people who have received them "do not spread the disease to anyone else." That claim was later fact-checked and found mostly false.

    CDC: Autopsy rates hit new low in 2020, COVID deaths ignored
    By Sean Salai - The Washington Times - Wednesday, May 24, 2023
    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...vid-deaths-ig/

    Autopsy rates plunged to an all-time low during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic as deaths from the virus surged without being examined more closely, according to federal data released Wednesday.

    An analysis of death certificates from all 50 states and the District of Columbia found that the autopsy rate fell from 8% in 2019 to 7.4% in 2020, the lowest mark since the first year of data in 1972, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

    From 2019 to 2020, the raw numbers fell from 229,011 autopsies out of 2,854,838 deaths to 249,337 out of 3,383,729 deaths.

    In 2020 COVID deaths were "infrequently autopsied," the CDC reported. For example, while 98.7% of homicide deaths and 49.3% of suicide deaths led to autopsies, less than 1% of all coronavirus deaths merited examination on an autopsy table.

    "The COVID-19 pandemic introduced a large number of deaths with a low autopsy rate, which may account for the significant decline in the autopsy rate between 2019 and 2020," CDC statistician Donna Hoyert told The Washington Times.

    The decrease in 2020 came after a slight increase in the autopsy rate from 2018 to 2019. The report found that the autopsy rate decreased between 1972 and 2020, with the most consistent pattern of decline coming before 1994.

    According to Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, autopsies were "not deemed necessary" as COVID deaths increased from zero in 2019 to more than 300,000 nationwide in 2020.

    "There were hundreds of thousands of excess deaths in the U.S. during the first year of the pandemic, many of which were caused by COVID," said Dr. Adalja, an infectious disease specialist. "Autopsies are often done when the cause of death is elusive and for COVID-related deaths - the third most common cause of death in 2020 - an autopsy would not necessarily have provided any new information."

    But Dr. Carlos del Rio, president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, said doctors should have done more to examine the corpses of COVID patients for information about the virus.

    "Should we had done more? Yes. Autopsies are an important component of learning about diseases and the pathogenesis," Dr. del Rio, interim dean of the Emory School of Medicine, told The Times.

    Fear of infection likely kept many physicians from ordering autopsies, he added in an email.

    "There was reluctance from pathologists to do the autopsies because of the `unknown' and fear of getting infected. Some people said that their autopsy rooms were not equipped to do them, but that is not necessarily true," the doctor said.

    In 1972, 79% of all autopsies were performed for deaths due to diseases and 19% for deaths due to external causes, according to the CDC. Those numbers flipped in 2020 to 37% of autopsies performed for deaths from diseases and 60% due to death from external causes.

    The CDC report found that the U.S. autopsy rate in 2020 peaked at 62.6% of deaths among people aged 15-24, then decreased in each older age group after that.

    "Deaths occurring in settings such as hospital inpatient, hospice facility, and nursing home or longterm care were least likely to be autopsied compared with other locations," the report noted.
    Here's another example of the Coronavirus PANIC misinformation. Autopsies were NOT DEEMED NECESSARY. It was good enough to simply have had covid at the time of death to declare that covid was the cause of death. This 'assumption' worked very well to promulgate the PANIC.

    The Liberal Leftists never want the Light of TRUTH to shine on their preferred propoganda. Accusations and Assumptions are their tools to blind people to the reality that would otherwise put a stake in the heart of their campaign to Create Chaos in order to Promote Control.

    The upper management of Pfizer, Moderna and the other Big Pharma corps are in bed with the Democrats and government in general. As are the Automakers with Electric Vehicles all on the name of another hoax, man-made climate change. Same deal and more 1930's/40's Nazi style Fascism. Where a corrupt, Totalitarian government picks winners and losers and the masses are stuck.

    Dr. Scott Atlas to Newsmax: I 'Was 100 Percent Correct'; 'I Don't Expect an Apology'
    By Eric Mack | Tuesday, 06 June 2023 07:24 PM EDT
    https://www.newsmax.com/politics/sco...06/id/1122619/

    Despite some criticism being hurled at former President Donald Trump for having listened to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leftist media's boogeyman from Trump's pandemic team that took the messaging reins from Fauci and company is now hailing being 100% correct "on everything."

    "Everything I said was 100% correct," Dr. Scott Atlas told Newsmax's "The Chris Salcedo Show" on Tuesday. "Everything I said was not only correct as of today: It was correct back then in March of 2020."

    Atlas was derided by former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo for bringing a new direction of pandemic science to Trump's White House COVID response team, which upset even Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, causing them to ostensibly boycott the team in the final weeks before the 2020 election.

    "I mean, you know, all this stuff was known," Atlas told host Chris Salcedo, reflecting on misplaced criticism.

    "I don't expect an apology, because apologies take integrity."

    Atlas declined to respond to a clip of Cuomo's harshest criticism.

    "I'm not going to lower myself to acknowledge that kind of person," he said. "I mean, just honestly, it's beneath me."

    But Atlas did systematically tick down all the allegations of mistakes in 2020, which wound up being the proper path in hindsight.

    "All the data was known all over the world, including the very low risk to healthy children, minuscule risk," he said. "The fact that the people that were high risk were known and were very old. In fact, the data is the two thirds of deaths were in people that had greater than or equal to six co-morbidities.

    "Two thirds of deaths were in people that were older than life expectancy. The risk of people under 19 is even lower than what we knew then."

    Also, "the latest re-analysis of the 2020 mortality," Atlas noted, showed a "99.999% survival" rate for school-age children and teens under 19.

    "Back when there was the most malignant form of the virus * the highest, most lethal form of the virus with no vaccine: It was 99.999% survival in people under 19," Atlas said. "So you know, everything I said was correct, including the fact that if you recover from the illness, you have biological protection.

    "It is very strong, including the fact that was known then that masks don't work to either stop the spread or to protect the wearer."

    The World Health Organization's pandemic accord is dangerous, Atlas warned going forward.

    "We have to be very careful about this so-called pandemic accord for several reasons," he said. "Number one, it's an accord and not a treaty, and it's legally binding. It's not a treaty, which means that circumvents Congress * just when our trust in public health has been shattered by pseudoscience mandates, lack of information, half of America has lost faith in science itself, not just public health, so that's unacceptable.

    "We need more transparency and more accountability."

    Also, "autonomy is relinquished" and the WHO defines what is a public health emergency, Atlas warned.

    "Intellectual property is circumvented, there's required distribution of things at a fixed price to people, basically they take over control of the patents," Atlas continued. "The WHO has a record of failure here.

    "Let's be very clear: The WHO has failed on H1N1, Ebola, Zika, and specifically in the COVID pandemic, where they backed the lies of China about no human to human transmission, for instance.

    "They actually praised China for being the model of transparency, even though China was blocking information and, in fact, explicitly blocked inspection of the Wuhan Labs. You know, they praised it as the model of pandemic response, and China was the most barbaric, illegal really, or what should be illegal, block of human rights violations."

    Yes it was pretty clear from data from NYC Health and Italy that the people that really had to worry were those with multiple bad illnesses and old folks over 80. The general population was mostly at no risk and probably more harm was done with ventilators on people that didn't need them and other stuff from stress and being denied medical care for small issues that then grew into larger ones. And then the rushed vaccines did more harm.

    A lot of us knew all this but most people reverted to an emotional reaction rather than a rational one and there was nothing that could be said.

    Should be a lot of lessons about all this but will people learn?

    CDC: Suicides, homicides among young people soared during pandemic
    By Sean Salai - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 15, 2023
    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...ople-soared-d/

    Homicides among older teenagers and suicides among adults in their early 20s rose during the COVID-19 pandemic to their highest levels in at least two decades, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday.

    The CDC report on homicide and suicide rates among people aged 10-24 covered 20 years, from 2001 to 2021. It found the homicide rate soared by 37%, from 7.8 deaths per 100,000 people in 2019 to 10.7 per 100,000 in 2020, the biggest annual increase in those years. The suicide rate rose more slowly, reaching 11 deaths per 100,000 people in 2021.

    What’s more, the homicide rate converged with the suicide rate in 2020 for the first time in a decade, said CDC statistician Sally Curtin, the report’s co-author.

    “They both continue to increase,” Ms. Curtin told The Washington Times. “In 2021, a person aged 10-24 was about equally likely to die from suicide as homicide, about 7,000 deaths each.”

    Suicide and homicide have become the second and third leading causes of death for people in that age range, she added in an email. The top cause is accidents, such as vehicle crashes, drownings and drug overdoses.

    During the pandemic, homicides hit a new high for teens, and suicides hit a new high for adults in their early 20s.

    Among 10- to 14-year-olds, the suicide rate tripled, from 0.9 per 100,000 children in 2007 to 2.9 per 100,000 through 2018, and did not change significantly in 2019-2021. The homicide rate for this age group doubled, from 0.7 deaths per 100,000 in 2016 to 1.4 per 100,000 in 2020, and remained unchanged in 2021.

    By comparison, the homicide rate for 15- to 19-year-olds increased from 8.9 deaths per 100,000 in 2019 to 12.3 per 100,000 in 2020 and 12.8 per 100,000 in 2021. That’s the highest for this age group in at least 20 years.

    The suicide rate for 20- to 24-year-olds increased by 9%, from 17.8 deaths per 100,000 in 2020 to 19.4 per 100,000 in 2021, the highest annual increase during the period studied.

    In the same age group, the homicide death rate jumped 34%, from 13.4 deaths per 100,000 in 2019 to 18 per 100,000 in 2020. It remained unchanged in 2021 as the suicide rate passed it.

    Some health experts contacted by The Times cited pandemic-era surges in youth depression and anxiety, gun violence and pandemic lockdowns that kept emotionally struggling people at home as factors driving the increases.

    “Pandemics are major disruptive forces that have impacts that reach into all aspects of health and behavior,” said Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease specialist and senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. “It has been widely demonstrated that mental health suffered at the same time that mental healthcare provision was interrupted and this may be a factor involved in the increases in suicide.”

    It’s impossible to discuss the CDC report without noting other data that shows firearms accounted for half the increase in child and teen deaths during the pandemic, said Stephanie Cunnane, head of communications for 97Percent, a gun control advocacy group founded last year.

    “After analyzing these disturbing numbers, the conversation inevitably turns to how do we stop this trend and save lives? All [of the solutions] are focused on removing access to guns for those at highest risk of violence,” Ms. Cunnane said in an email.

    Pandemic lockdowns likely played the primary role in sparking isolated young people to violence, said Dr. Mike Artigues, president of the conservative American College of Pediatricians.

    “The recent rise in both suicide and homicide rates are no doubt multifactorial and likely affected by the pandemic and increasing use of social media to the detriment of in-person human interaction,” Dr. Artigues said in an email. “We believe that one of the keys to combating this tragic mental health crisis begins with an overall respect for all human life, which includes strengthening the family and promoting healthy teen relationships.”
    (bolding is mine)


    The very groups with the least risk from the Coronavirus were still treated like the most vulnerable (the aged & infirm). Their livelihoods and educational prusuits were UNNECESSARILY TERMINATED - With no evidence that it was good for them or others.

    NOW - it is clear that those who protested this PANIC RESPONSE were right about the terrible damage to be done by these ineffective & unnecessary DRACONIAN POLICIES.

    The proposed response to this confirmed knowledge (as if that knowledge were now a revelatory epiphany) is to blame INANIMATE OBJECTS for the dire actions of those who's lives were destroyed (mentally, socially, financially) because they took their own lives or the lives of others while in a state of despair. Those most vocal and responsible for the PANIC ACTIONS have washed their hands of the actual dire consequences of their promoted course of action.

    These people have no soul - no integrity - no moral conscience - no shame - no respect for the lives of others - no love of freedom!

    THEN, never letting a crisis go to waste (which they created) - They want to justify CONTROL OVER LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS by blaming an INANIMATE OBJECT in pursuit of their GUN CONTROL AGENDA.
    These are vacuous, power hungry authoritarians.

    None are so blind as those who refuse to see (what is clearly in front of their faces).
