Covid-19 is a respiratory disease caused by SARS-COV-2.
REMINDER:
the problem is NOT any coronavirus,
but the human immune system not functioning properly

Below is a road map how to steer healthy through the next virus season, listing the logical changes we need to make after we analysed all we’ve got wrong so far.

Health is a state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being and not merely the absence
of disease or other physical impairment [WHO]

HERE is a video by Canadian doctors, explaining in less than 12 minutes why we do NOT need to fear SARS-CoV-2 and can have more trust in our immune system:

In case of doubt or confusion: don’t do anything which could make you ill, and follow the INDEPENDENT science, and double check dependent government advisers for industry bias.
While the “cases” go up, people don’t die any more from covid-19.

Cases are currently 90% false positives, the virus has mutated, and as with SARS or MERS or any yearly flu, the Herd Immunity Threshold HIT was reached in April.
We can safely assume there will be no “second wave” (unless people make themselves ill by not looking after their immune system). Read more below.

The “Second Wave” is just the winter virus season

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#no-second-wave updated: 6 December 2020

Dr. Mike Yeadon, Pfizer’s former Vice President and Chief Scientist for Allergy & Respiratory, explains everything on rumble.com/vbfcsj-dr.-mike-yeadon-pfizers-former-vice-president-and-chief-scie ntist-for-aller.html

The Daily Mail UK reports on 22 Nov: Covid UK: Facts about the risks, the death rate, and NHS capacity: “the number of Covid-19 deaths is significantly lower than the peak back in April. Latest ONS estimate shows that in the week ending November 14, new infections were already levelling off “

There will be no 2nd wave of Coronavirus.
There is no research literature
that underscores the belief in a second wave
.
[Dr Mike Yeadon,
former chief scientific adviser of Pfizer]

Speaking on the Julia Hartley-Brewer breakfast show on Talk Radio, Dr Mike Yeadon, former chief scientific adviser of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals (allergy and respiratory research department), has predicted there will be no 2nd wave of Coronavirus. He points out, that the previous SARS and MERS viruses only came once, no second wave. He also said the current pcr testing brings up 90% false positives. He said he was “going to challenge the Government to cite the research literature that underscores their belief in a second wave… such literature does not exist.” If he is right then the actions of the government will be proved to be unnecessary.

cases versus deaths Spain and UK
“Spain is ahead of the UK”, showing many (mostly asymptomatic and false) positive “cases” – and no deaths. There is NOTHING to panic about.
Spain is some weeks ahead of the UK and shows a HUGE spike of so called “cases”, but no more deaths than seasonal. source: worldometers
UK on 21 October: the so called “cases” are 4x higher than during the April peak
But the deaths are 5x lower (slight number increase as usuallyin autumn)
[source: worldometers.info

It can however be expected, that the huge backlog of missed hospital appointments due to the first lockdown will lead to an increase in hospital admissions. The virus fear stress will result in lowered immunity and increased illness in the population.
As a positive pcr test result at the (mandatory) test at hospital admissions will override other causes of death if the patient should die within 28 days after being tested positive, there is a guearanteed number of covid deaths in the future. See more in the previous article in the Covid Deaths Statistics chapter.

Coronaviruses normally peak from January to March in the northern hemisphere
(see also Evidence that Coronavirus Lockdown was not necessary).

It is a well-known fact that in every “flu wave”, 7-15% of acute respiratory illnesses (ARI) come along with coronaviruses (Glasgow study) with no clinical significance. It is just another name for acute respiratory illnesses (ARI), which as every year put 30% to 70% of all people in our countries more or less out of action for a week or two every winter.
According to a prospective article ARI-virus monitoring in Glasgow from 2005 to 2013, the most common pathogens of acute respiratory diseases were: 1. rhinoviruses, 2. influenza A viruses, 3. influenza B viruses, 4. RS viruses and 5. coronaviruses.”

If we remove any of these viruses, other pathogens will take the place.[www.wodarg.com].
COVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2) can cause a cytokine storm of overzealous immune responses, that generate so much cytokine secretion (hypercytokinesis), that it spills over into the lungs.

“CRUCIAL Viral Update: Critique of Data sending UK into Lockdown Meltdown”
This video clearly explains everything: data, statistics, virus seasons and why the post pandemic should be called endemic. Link: youtu.be/7wifZ9oBrZE

Common cold could be protecting you from Covid-19:
You may have cursed that cold you had last winter—but it could be protecting you against Covid-19.
Your immune response may have been just a dress rehearsal for the more virulent SARS-COV-2 virus that causes Covid-19. A cold, another coronas virus, produces memory cells—known as B cells—that know how to respond if you encounter the Covid virus.
People recovering from Covid-19 have a pre-existing pool of memory B cells that rapidly produce antibodies, say researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center. Memory B cells can detect pathogens and create antibodies to destroy them.
The protection is long-lasting and may even protect you for the rest of your life. Once infected by a virus, another from the same family will trigger a much faster response and could even clear an infection before it takes hold.
The fact that most of us have had a cold could also explain why so many people with Covid-19 are asymptomatic, that is, have no symptoms.
The researchers analysed blood samples from 26 people recovering from mild to moderate Covid-19 and compared them with 21 healthy donors whose samples had been collected up to 10 years ago. They measured levels of memory B cells and antibodies that target proteins that are common in all coronaviruses, such as Covid, SARS, MERS, and the common cold. [from the original study]

The best support for our immune system is:
• do everything that is good for you and your immune system
• don’t do anything which is bad for your health

The worldometer statistic shows, (7 October), that 96+% of ‘cases’ have recovered from COVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2 and the deaths with coronavirus keep dropping. Keep in mind, that about 19 out of 20 deaths were caused by underlying conditions.
The UK withholds the huge number of recovered cases.

Here is a VERY good video, clearly explaining the virus statistics, why people die or not, and how to see all in context:

No Asymptomatic Covid-19 Spread

COVID-19 Study of Almost Ten Million Finds No Evidence of Asymptomatic Spread” [20 December]
Not a single transmission of Coronavirus from a person without symptoms. The research paper also indicates that “virulence of SARS-CoV-2 virus may be weakening over time”.
“If asymptomatic transmission is not happening,… then all of the current lock-down regulations, mask wearing requirements and social distancing rules/decrees are based on a complete fallacy of false assumptions.”

Freedom not Lockdown to stay Healthy

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#freeedom – updated: 17 January 2021

Health is a state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being and not merely the absence
of disease or other physical impairment [WHO]
Which of the two lions you think is more healthy?

Safety has a price. Freedom is the basis of health and happiness.

WHO: we appeal to all world leaders:
stop using lockdown as your primary control method.
The only thing lockdowns achieved was poverty.
[Dr. David Nabarro, 11 October 2020]

News.com.au reports on 11 Oct: WHO: “we really do appeal to all world leaders: stop using lockdown as your primary control method.
Develop better systems for doing it. Work together and learn from each other.
Dr. David Nabarro also claimed that the only thing lockdowns achieved was poverty – with no mention of the potential lives saved.
“we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.”
Experience shows: you can’t control a virus – but the population.

A number of health experts from all over the world came together calling for an end to coronavirus lockdowns earlier this week.
They created a petition, called the Great Barrington Declaration,
which said that lockdowns were doing “irreparable damage.”
[ By 11 October, the Great Barrington Declaration, was signed by
7,447 Medical & Public Health Scientists,
17,087 Medical Practitioners and
259,458 general public ]

The WorldDoctorsAlliance.com takes a more radical approach
and had 7487 signatories by 17 October.

Reality versus prediction models…

In the previous article “We’ve got it all wrong fighting the virus” we learned that lockdown loneliness making us ill and lockdown kills.

Long periods of lockdown could weaken the immune system and leave people more vulnerable to dangerous viruses and pandemics”, Oxford epidemiologist Prof Sunetra Gupta warns. Intense social distancing could leave people unexposed to germs and not develop defences against new viruses. She added that ‘if we return to the point where we have no exposure’ society would be ‘like clumps of trees waiting to be set ablaze‘. ”

Safety comes with a price to pay…

“International travel helps to build up defences
against new and emerging viruses

Avoiding lockdown, and instead travelling and meeting lots of different people will help our immune system to get prepared and “stay fit”.

Liberty is of small value to the lower third of humanity.
They greatly prefer security, which means protection
by some class above them.
They are always in favor of despots who promise to feed them.”

Natural Immunity & T Cell Memory

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#natural-immunity – updated 18 January 2021

Summary:
we have robust, broad and highly functional memory T cell responses preventing recurrent episodes of severe COVID-19 or other coronavirus mutations.
They identify and destroy infected cells and inform B cells about how to craft new virus-targeting antibodies.
T cell memory lasts at least 17 years, possibly life long.

Covid infection shown to provide as much immunity as vaccines [Financial Times, 14 January 2021]
People who have already contracted coronavirus are as protected against reinfection as those who have received the best Covid-19 vaccines, according to a survey of 20,000 UK healthcare workers, the largest study in the world so far. Public Health England regularly tested two matched groups of volunteers between June and November — 6,000 health workers who had previously been infected with coronavirus and 14,000 who had not.
A comparison of infections in the two groups, described in preliminary results released on Thursday, found that prior infection provided at least 83 per cent protection against reinfection.
It gave better than 94 per cent protection against symptomatic Covid-19, matching the figures for the most effective Covid-19 vaccines.
Natural infection looks as good as a vaccine, which is very good news for the population” Susan Hopkins, PHE senior medical adviser said.
People who had recovered from Covid-19 were less likely to transmit the virus to others unknowingly, because natural infection appeared to provide about 75 per cent protection against asymptomatic reinfection.
Eleanor Riley, professor of virology at the University of Edinburgh, said: “If you believe you already had the disease and are protected, you can be reassured it is highly unlikely you will develop severe infection”
[STUDY ARTICLE preprint 18 Dec 2020:
SIREN protocol: Impact of detectable anti-SARS-CoV-2 on the subsequent incidence of COVID-19 in 100,000 healthcare workers: do antibody positive healthcare workers have less reinfection than antibody negative healthcare workers?“]

After being infected with coronavirus, people become immune.
“A number of reported cases of coronavirus patients relapsing after overcoming the disease were actually due to testing failures, South Korean scientists say… the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results for the suspected relapsed patients were false positives. Researchers at the South Korean centre for disease control and prevention (CDC) now say it is impossible for the COVID-19 virus to reactivate in human bodies. The CDC added that unlike other viruses,… the coronavirus stays outside of the host cell’s nucleus.”
“This means it does not cause chronic infection or recurrence,” explained Dr Oh Myoung-don, the head of the South Korea’s CDC committee. 01/05/2020

“A government cannot stop a virus.
What stops a virus is natural immunity.
It’s impossible to stop a virus by government decree.”
[Professor Yoram Lass, former Israeli Health Ministry chief]

On 28 August Neoscope reports: DOCTORS CONFIRM FOR FIRST TIME THAT PATIENT CAUGHT COVID TWICE: A new study published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases today reports that a 33-year-old man showed mild symptoms the first time he was infected, and no symptoms the second time. The patient was infected by two genetically different strains of the coronavirus. “Our results prove that his second infection is caused by a new virus that he acquired recently rather than prolonged viral shedding,” Kelvin Kai-Wang To, clinical microbiologist at the University of Hong Kong, said in the statement. “This is a textbook example of how immunity should work,” Yale School of Medicine professor Akiko Iwasaki, wrote in a Monday tweet. “While immunity was not enough to block reinfection, it protected the person from disease.”

We now have evidence that everyone
develops long-term coronavirus immunity after infection

The study: “Robust T cell immunity in convalescent individuals with asymptomatic or mild COVID-19” (14 August)
“SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells were detectable in antibody-seronegative exposed family members and convalescent individuals with a history of asymptomatic and mild COVID-19. Our collective dataset shows that SARS-CoV-2 elicits robust, broad and highly functional memory T cell responses, suggesting that natural exposure or infection may prevent recurrent episodes of severe COVID-19″.

The “Business Insider” comments on this: “The new finding is strong evidence that all patients likely develop long-term immunity
Memory T cells are an especially key type, since they identify and destroy infected cells and inform B cells about how to craft new virus-targeting antibodies. They can stick around for years, while antibody levels drop following an infection.”

The New York Times reports on 16 August: Scientists See Signs of Lasting Immunity to Covid-19, Even After Mild Infections
“Scientists who have been monitoring immune responses to the virus are now starting to see encouraging signs of strong, lasting immunity, even in people who developed only mild symptoms of Covid-19, a flurry of new studies suggests. Disease-fighting antibodies, as well as immune cells called B cells and T cells that are capable of recognizing the virus, appear to persist months after infections have resolved… the body retains a battalion of longer-lived B cells that can churn out virus-fighting antibodies en masse, should they prove useful again.”

The best times to gain immunity for coronavirus
are summer or autumn, before the flu season.
This way you do not become a burden
for the NHS hospitals
AND you become a protector of the vulnerable
by being immune in the winter.

Immunological research has revealed that serological (i.e. blood) antibody studies detect at most 20% of infections, as most people neutralize the coronavirus with their mucosal or cellular immune system without even needing to develop (permanent) antibodies in the blood

This pie chart explains the findings :
no antibodies in the blood, but immunity
(screeenshot from an amazing scientific immunity lecture by Creon Levit, Chief Scientist of Planet Labs (22 June)
The percentage of an unexposed population is certain to be

60% of people are naturally RESISTANT to SARS-COV2.
Sars-Cov-2-specific antibodies only appear in the most severe cases, about 1 out of 5.
That means: Sars-Cov-2 is five times less deadly than currently assumed [off-guardian.org/2020/06/12/study-80] – and:
the number of people who have gained immunity is five times higher than positive blood test results show.

THIS explains, why the Immunity Threshold HIT (see chapter below) causing the DECREASE of infections after the peak period only needs 10 – 20% of the population in addition to the 50+% who are already ‘naturally’ resistant.

A cold, another coronas virus, produces memory cells—known as B cells—that know how to respond if you encounter the Covid virus.
People recovering from Covid-19 have a pre-existing pool of memory B cells that rapidly produce antibodies. Memory B cells can detect pathogens and create antibodies to destroy them.

The protection is long-lasting and may even protect you for the rest of your life. Once infected by a virus, another from the same family will trigger a much faster response and could even clear an infection before it takes hold.

The fact that most of us have had a cold could also explain why so many people with Covid-19 are asymptomatic, that is, have no symptoms.
The researchers analysed blood samples from 26 people recovering from mild to moderate Covid-19 and compared them with 21 healthy donors whose samples had been collected 6 to 10 years ago. They measured levels of memory B cells and antibodies that target proteins that are common in all coronaviruses, such as Covid, SARS, MERS, and the common cold.

Herd Immunity Threshold ‘HIT’

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#HIT – updated 15 April 2021

So it seems Britain has reached the herd immunity, and we do not need to fear any more virus transmissions nor outbreaks, as “the virus” has no chance to go rampant any more:

Modelling by University College London (UCL) suggests that 73.4 per cent of the population will have protection against Covid by April 12, 2021 – by Mail Online

The Herd Immunity Threshold (HIT) defines the percentage of the population that needs to be immune to reverse epidemic growth and prevent future waves.
medRxiv published an article on 21 May 2020, stating:
“While herd immunity is expected to require 60-70% of a homogeneous population to be immune given an R0 between 2.5 and 3, these percentages drop to the range 10-20% for CVs between 2 and 4.”

Herd Immunity Threshold (HIT)
for SARS-CoV-2 transmission
in heterogeneous populations

can be as low as 10-20%

This suggests, we don’t need to panic to just get over any next virus wave naturally by letting the virus come and go in the usual bell-shaped curve.

Like other respiratotry diseases, including the 2003 SARS epidemic, the virus remains only about two months in any given population, yet the peak incidence and the lethality can vary.

Please notice: Dr. Knut Wittkowski does not claim
there would be no casualties at all.

Any temporary advantage from mitigation comes at the expense of lower population immunity and higher cumulative deaths
“It is herd immunity that stops the spread of an infectious disease, so in general, one would want to let the epidemic initially run its natural course (or even accelerate it, as people have traditionally done with “measles parties”) to build immunity as fast as possible” [Dr. Wittkowski, 28 March 2020, from: researchgate.net]

Fig 1: SIR Model of SARS. Number of susceptible (blue), infectious (red), and resistant (green) people after a population of 10,000,000 susceptible people is exposed to 20 subjects infected carrying a novel virus. Assumptions: R0 =2.2, infectious period = 7 days
Covid recovered cases versus deaths in the US in %
This worldometer graph confirms the SIR Model

The % rate of deaths (orange line) is going down to 6% in the US, while the recovered / discharged from hospital cases (green line) goes up to 94%, confirming the herd immunity threshold model explained above. Source:
worldometer 4 Aug 2020
The UK has been hiding the recovered cases number.

When we use a different model, the situation looks MUCH better and is more likely to reflect reality.
The study led by Dr Gabriela Gomes, a mathematician at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the University of Strathclyde.
If the virus spreads more rampantly among the most socially active group, the level of immunity they build up could protect people in the less active groups.

Natural herd immunity against Covid-19 could develop from just 10% of the population getting infected, not the 60%
predicted from a vaccine”

The ‘herd immunity threshold’ (HIT) can be estimated from the basic reproduction rate of the epidemic, R0 – a measure of how many people, on average, each infected individual infects. Standard simple compartmental models of epidemic growth imply that the HIT equals {1 – 1/R0}. Once the HIT is passed, the rate of new infections starts to decline, which should ensure that health systems will not thereafter be overwhelmed and makes it more practicable to take steps to eliminate the disease.
A recent paper (Gomes et al.[7]) shows that variation between individuals in their susceptibility to infection and their propensity to infect others can cause the HIT to be much lower than it is in a homogeneous population.
The Swedish public health authority estimated that 17% of the Stockholm population would have been infected by 11 April, rising to 25% by 1 May 2020.[5] Yet recorded new cases had stopped increasing by 11 April, as had net hospital admissions,[6] and both measures have fallen significantly since. That pattern indicates that the HIT had been reached by 11April, at which point only 17% of the population appear to have been infected.
[Why herd immunity to COVID-19 is reached much earlier than thought]

Dr. Scott W. Atlas, senior fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution: “Vital population immunity is prevented by total isolation policies, are prolonging the problem.” Therefore: “protect the known vulnerable, self-isolate the mildly sick and open most workplaces and small businesses with some prudent large-group precautions.
“This would allow the essential socialising to generate immunity among those with minimal risk of serious consequence, while saving lives, preventing overcrowding of hospitals and limiting the enormous harms compounded by continued total isolation,” [www.wnd.com April 2020]

Bacteria, Germs and Viruses

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#bacteria

Viruses are essential for our health.
Scientists have determined that there are approximately:
• 30 trillion cells in the average size human body
• 40 trillion bacteria on and in the human body
• 380 trillion viruses on and in the human body

There are thousands of species of bacteria and viruses that compete for space and control of our tissues, made up of beneficial players, opportunists and harmful actors. These organisms are significantly influenced by how we live, exercise, sleep, what we eat and drink and these lifestyle factors even effect how our genes are expressed. We call all these healthy organisms symbiotic, because we both benefit from each other. In fact, we could not survive without them!

Beneficial bacteria are the housekeepers and defenders of our gastrointestinal (G.I.) tract. They produce B-vitamins, brain signalling molecules like serotonin (the antidepressant “brain” hormone—about 80% of it is made in the gut), short chain fatty acids that feed and maintain the cells lining our G.I. tract.

share love, geerms, viruses & immunity

Bacteria regulate pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines (cell signalling protein molecules) to prevent autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and numerous other beneficial activities. Healthy bacteria also live in our mouths, on our skin, and in all the nooks and crannies of our body. They all have vital housekeeping chores in those places. The strength of the health and population numbers of our beneficial bacteria are the first line of defence of our entire immune system. It is estimated that 70% of our immune system resides in the Gut
[from “Why Has Everyone Seemingly Forgotten How the Immune System Works?“]

Bacteria, Germs, fungi and viruses are part of us. Humans first make contact with theirs in the birth canal. From that moment forward, microbes help bolster our immune systems, helping our bodies learn to live with viral diseases that enter our bloodstream. They boost the immune system, protect us from auto-immune diseases, keep us slim, detoxify and may fight off stress and keep babies healthy.

The World Health Organization has actually advised against trying to kill SARS-CoV-2 with disinfectants, both outdoors or across large indoor spaces, stating it may do more harm than good.

We need to connect with nature, get our hands dirty in good soil, have physical contact with animals and other humans and expose our immune system to all those to “keep it fit”.

Daycares in Finland Built a ‘Forest Floor’, And It Changed Children’s Immune Systems
“When daycare workers in Finland rolled out a lawn, planted forest undergrowth such as dwarf heather and blueberries, and allowed children to care for crops in planter boxes, the diversity of microbes in the guts and on the skin of young kids appeared healthier in a very short space of time.” 
“Compared to other city kids who play in standard urban daycares with yards of pavement, tile and gravel, 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds at these greened-up daycare centres in Finland showed increased T-cells and other important immune markers in their blood within 28 days. “
Prior research has shown early exposure to green space is somehow linked to a well-functioning immune system.”

“There are more bacteria in your gut than there are stars in our galaxy – most of them protect us and make us who we are.”
Overuse of antibiotics and antiseptic cleaners is impacting our ability to maintain a balance of healthy microbes in our bodies and environments.
Studies continue to prove that harmful species will exploit areas with too few good bacteria to fight back. Sterility should not be our goal.

Simply avoiding any seasonal virus (at a high cost for society, economy and psychological trauma) makes no sense, as it will return in the next season. What would make sense is to strengthen our immune system, and achieve a herd immunity in the young and healthy population, which will protect the old and infirm and those who are immune system compromised.

Why don’t we stop fighting this virus and make friends with coronavirus instead?
Waging war against a virus is like waging war against ourselves.

Keeping a pet or working with animals strengthens the immune system
According to Dr. Wolfgang Wodard, there is a “regularly recurring presence of corona viruses in dogs, cats, pigs, mice, bats and in humans”.
Dogs, who come with their own set of allergy-suppressing microbes, are the most beneficial to a household’s microbial health, helping to strengthen the immune systems of its children.” [NY Post]

Children Need To Run Free

school age children more likely to be hit by lightening than die of coronavirus
Telegraph headline 9 June 2020

School age children more likely to be hit by lightning than die of coronavirus
Many media reports of young and healthy people dying from Covid19 turned out to be false: many of these young people either did not die from Covid-19, they had already been seriously ill (e.g. from undiagnosed leukaemia), or they were in fact 109 instead of 9 years old. The claimed increase in Kawasaki disease in children also turned out to be false.

The Times reports on 28 August: No child who was not already profoundly ill has died of Covid-19 in Britain, a large study has indicated

Children are NOT spreading coronavirus.

“Scientists are yet to find a single confirmed case of a teacher catching coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world”, [professor Mark Woolhouse]

“in hindsight closing schools in March was probably a mistake, but the limited role children play in spreading the virus only became clear further along the infection curve.”
As an infectious disease epidemiologist at Edinburgh University, Mark Woolhouse is a member of the UK government’s scientific advisory group, SAGE.

 A Rapid Systematic Review published in the Lancet in April
Effectiveness of school social distancing measures found
no data were available“school closures made very little difference” and “there were school children diagnosed with SARS in Singapore, none of them were identified through temperature screening” and There was no evidence of spread of the infection in schools, with spread among children almost entirely through family settings and living in the same apartment blocks as infected cases.” 

Why Kids Need to Spend Time in Nature:
“Most of the studies agree that kids who play outside are smarter, happier, more attentive, and less anxious than kids who spend more time indoors.”
While calling it a disorder might be merely rhetorical, it’s clear kids spend significantly more time inside than outside. This shift is largely due to technology: The average American child is said to spend 4 to 7 minutes a day in unstructured play outdoors, and over 7 hours a day in front of a screen.
Nature reduces stress and fatigue. According to the Attention Restoration Theory, urban environments exhaust our brains. In natural environments, we practice an effortless type of attention known as soft fascination that creates feelings of pleasure, not fatigue.

‘Long Covid’ / ‘Long-haulers’

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#long-haulers – chapter updated 20 January 2021

Could it be, that coronavirus brings underlying conditions to the surface we did not even know before? The mantra “a healthy immune system will deal with all” does not always work, as ‘The Atlantic’ reports on 4 June: COVID-19 Can Last for Several Months.
The disease’s “long-haulers” [or: long covid] have endured relentless waves of debilitating symptoms—and disbelief from doctors and friends.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is typically diagnosed when symptoms persist for six months or more.
About 40 percent of the residents who survived the SARS epidemic of 2003 had chronic-fatigue problems after three years or so, and 27 percent met the CDC’s criteria for ME/CFS. Many different acute pathogens seem to trigger the same inflammatory responses that culminate in the same chronic endgame.
This is post-exertional malaise—the defining feature of ME/CFS. It’s a severe multi-organ crash that follows activity as light as a short walk. It’s also distinct from mere exhaustion: You can’t just push through it, and you’ll feel much worse if you try. The ME/CFS community has learned that resting as much as possible in the early months of postviral fatigue is crucial.
The condition is especially underdiagnosed among black and brown communities, who are also disproportionately likely to be infected and killed by COVID-19.
But recovery is not a simple matter of flipping a switch. For some, it will take more time than the entire duration of the pandemic thus far.

On the 19th August The Atlantic reports:
David Putrino, a neuroscientist and a rehabilitation specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital, has surveyed long-haulers, most are women. Their average age is 44. Most were formerly fit and healthy and experienced
illnesses, such as dysautonomia (disorders that disturb the autonomic nervous system) and myalgic encephalomyelitis.
In an Italian study with 143 patients, 87 percent of hospitalised patients still had at least one symptom after two months, particularly fatigue and dyspnea. A British study found similar trends, including insomnia
More than 90 percent of long-haulers whom Putrino has worked with, also have “post-exertional malaise,” in which even mild bouts of physical or mental exertion can trigger a severe physiological crash.
The trick is to slowly recondition a patient’s nervous system through careful exercises like relaxation and somatic-awareness techniques, without triggering a debilitating crash.
Many long-haulers start feeling better in their fourth or fifth month.

Dr. Wodarg points out that it’s not so much the virus itself that causes long term damage, but the body’s own disturbed immune-response that causes the damage. Seen in the light of the existing science on the same kind of ‘damage’ caused by Influenza it would indeed suggest that the alleged unique damage caused by COVID-19 is not that unique at all. Claims of ‘permanent damage’ made only 2-4 month after the infections took place are premature.

“Seen in the light of the existing science on the same kind of ‘damage’ caused by Influenza it would indeed suggest that the alleged unique damage caused by COVID-19 is not that unique at all.” [Dr. W. Wodarg]

It seems like coronavirus works as a catalyst, bringing hidden weaknesses or underlying health conditions to the surface. Why don’t we use this opportunity to get our health into resiliant shape?

In the article “Is Niacin a Missing Piece of the COVID Puzzle?” are the following tips:
as a “health restorative therapy” for those diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2, they recommend starting with a dose of 500 milligrams of immediate-release niacin, two to three times a day, ideally within the first 48 hours of symptom onset. As your flush response lessens, increase your dose to 1,000 mg, two to three times a day. [source]

“For the subgroup of patients still suffering with high cytokines profiles from deep, remnant damage of previously experienced SARS-CoV-2 infection — termed the ‘long-haulers‘ — alleviation from ailment(s) towards complete health restoration to pre-infection state from initiating and maintaining the aforementioned dosage regimen has consistently been reported to assume within two days and to incrementally follow further over the course of weeks.”24

Dr. Mercola comments: “My research suggests you really only need about 25 mg per day of niacin, which will not cause flushing in nearly anyone. I believe most would benefit from taking 25 mg of niacin daily, preferably in a well-balanced B complex, which would have thiamine (B1) that has also been shown to be useful in COVID-19.. I believe a superior strategy to high-dose niacin in acute COVID-19 would be to use nebulized hydrogen peroxide at 0.1%. .”

A Supercomputer Analyzed Covid-19 and led to the bradykinin hypothesis, providing a model that explains many aspects of Covid-19, including some of its most bizarre symptoms.
It also suggests 10-plus potential treatments, many of which are already FDA approved. Jacobson’s group published their results in a paper in the journal eLife in early July.
This hypothesis might point towards demystifying the covid long-haulers?

Stress Stops Immunity. Relax! Laugh!

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#stress updated 2 August 2021

It would be SO much better for everyone’s health, if the Health Ministry would actively support and promote events where people get together and de-stress dancing, singing, laughing or groups and events for relaxation.

Happiness Chemicals And How To Hack Them:
Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin & Endorphine
Happy people are more likely to also be healthy.
Unhappy people are more likely to feel and become ill

Without proper sleep, your immune system can’t produce the special proteins your body needs to fight off infections and inflammation.

Uncertainty, worries about the future or job loss, and fear of the unknown virus causes stress; as a result we will sooner or later come down with any illness (see Lockdown Loneliness & Isolation).

Stop watching TV news or reading the daily paper, and do something creative, or any relaxing activities instead! Meeting good friends and sharing your worries helps you cope in troubled times.

Laughter Yoga unwinds the negative effects of stress and strengthens your immune system. It is an exercise program for Health and Wellbeing. If you laugh every day, you will not fall sick easily.
If you have chronic health conditions like heart disease, Hypertension, Diabetes, Depression, Anxiety, Panic attacks and even Cancer, you will heal much faster. Laughter Yoga increases oxygen to your body and brain, and makes you feel healthy and energetic. It is a great exercise for team building, peak performance, Creativity and emotional intelligence.
The yoga part of Laughter is the combination of Laughter Exercises with yoga breathing techniques ( Pranayama ). There are more than 20,000 free social Laughter clubs in 110 countries. Besides, Laughter Yoga also being practised in Senior centres, age care facilities, schools and colleges, companies, corporations, factories, physically and mentally challenged, police and prisons….

Laughter Yoga releases endorphins which are natural pain killers, that can help those suffering from arthritis, spondylitis, chronic migraine headaches, chronic pains, fibromyalgia, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases.

We need laughter, humour, joy
to stay sane and human.
When did you last have a good laugh?

Below are two methods for stress relief from the article

Loneliness is an important social stressor that can activate the body’s stress responses. When prolonged, that response can lead to increased inflammation and reduced immunity, particularly in older adults. Inflammation is the body’s response to fight off infection or heal an injury, but when it continues unchecked it can have a harmful impact on health. Under chronic stress, the body becomes less sensitive to the effects of the stress hormones, leading to increased inflammation and eventually disease.

Health Benefits of Socialising

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#benefit-socialising

Health is a state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being and not merely the absence
of disease or other physical impairment [WHO]

“Without social activities, without joy, without thrill, without hugs and kisses, without plans, hopes and dreams, we will cease to be human.
We must oppose anyone who says otherwise” [@robotmats]

Humans are “social animals”, and need each other’s company to stay sane and healthy. Attending a music, sports, dance or other event, or hanging out with friends in a pub lifts the spirit, relaxes, and makes people happy. At the same time the immune system is stimulated by exposure to other peoples’ germs, bacteria and viruses.

daily confirmed covid deaths UK until September 2020, two months after the pubs opened 29 June shows NO increase
Opening pubs shows: socialising does not result in deaths

Meetings to worship together with others from your church, mosque, synagogue, temple, your sangha or your ‘tribe’ is especially powerful.
It brings in the spirit of community, which has comforted and supported religious and spiritual groups throughout history. Some forms of worship include healing, many involve singing or chanting and worshipful prayer.
“When two or three are gathered in my name, I am among them” is a phrase attributed to Jesus, which encapsulates the power which can be created when people focus their hearts and minds together.
And there is also the socialising over a cuppa and sometimes shared meals which helps connecting and bonding with others.

In her book “The Power Of Eight” Lynne McTaggart shares an astonishing fact: when people carry out intention for each other in small groups of eight, miraculous healings occur – virtually in an instant”.
All of this supports our wellbeing and the immune system.

Community is the new guru

Research has shown that prolonged loneliness is associated with increased risk for premature death, similar to smoking, alcohol consumption and obesity. Other health consequences are also associated with loneliness, including elevated risk for heart disease and stroke, and it is associated with increased physician visits and  emergency room visits.

Mass gatherings, demonstrations, concerts and festivals are safe and help keep us healthy. ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests have not seen coronavirus cases surge in cities since the massive demonstrations began, a study says. The research, which was published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found no evidence that coronavirus cases jumped in 315 US cities in the weeks following the first protests.

Now is the time to sing, dance, celebrate and party in good company, de-stress, forget any virus worries and revive the immune system.

crowd at a concert
The immune system thrives in loving company of others.

“immune cells from high-lonely individuals show in vivo, under basal physiological conditions:
1.) decreased activity of the anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid transcription control pathway;
2.) increased activity of the pro-inflammatory NF-κB/Rel pathway. Results reveal a distinct ‘transcriptional fingerprint’ of experienced social isolation that includes genomic indications of immune activation, and a reciprocal shift in the activity of pro- and anti-inflammatory transcription control pathways that shape global gene expression in the human immune system.” [Study “Social regulation of gene expression in human leukocytes“]

In short:
loneliness breeds inflammation and disease.

Hugging and Human Touch

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#hugging – updated: 23 Jan 2021

A ‘New Scientist’ article: How to hug people in a coronavirus-stricken world, indicates, that the health benefit of hugging is greater than the covid-19 risk.
“Tiffany Field at the University of Miami in Florida and her colleagues surveyed 260 adults and found that those reporting touch deprivation scored higher on scales measuring anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep issues and post-traumatic stress.
60 per cent of people in the US reported feeling touch-deprived during the first month of lockdown, suggests a new study, even though only a fifth of those surveyed lived alone.
A separate study of more than 1000 US adults found that those who frequently hugged, kissed or met up with friends and family in lockdown were 26 per cent less likely to report symptoms of depression and 28 per cent less likely to report loneliness… Regular video chats didn’t show the same benefits.”

"we must never stop loving each other"
Hands. Face. Embrace
Alternative meme, based on compassion, health and human needs

Hugging and virus transmission:
Logically, a good hug is less likely to transmit viruses than a face to face chat, as both huggers involved breathe into the space behind each other over their shoulders, putting hands on the backs of the other person; this makes it nearly impossible for a virus to get transmitted.
Speaking face to face does not increase oxytocin, which we need to be happy. After the lockdown people are craving for hugs and social contacts and tired of feeling miserable.

Human contact, togetherness and touch promotes health

“We saw stronger mental health benefits from types of contact that involved touch, which aligns well with the benefits we know come from close touching, like decreased heart rate, higher levels of oxytocin and lower levels of cortisol,” Molly Rosenberg, Indiana School of Public Health in Bloomington.

Even before Covid-19 there was a concern about the decrease of touch in society. So the BBC launched a new global study called ‘The Touch Test’, which took place mostly before the UK was in lockdown: ‘Why I’m not alone in missing hugs during the pandemic‘, including stories like “It’s more than six months now since I’ve hugged my parents or my friends”. On 5th October, a series of programmes “Anatomy of Touch” will start on BBC Radio 4.

Human touch is more important than we may realise

Here is another article from the New Scientist, showing why your brain needs touch to make you human. Being touchy-feely isn’t just nice – it caresses build social worlds from families to sports teams and may even give us our sense of self

Hugging strengthens the immune system
Hugs increase levels of oxytocin and reduce blood pressure.
The gentle pressure on the sternum and the emotional charge this creates activates the Solar Plexus Chakra. This stimulates the thymus gland, which regulates and balances the body’s production of white blood cells, which keep you healthy and disease free.
Hugs can instantly boost oxytocin levels, which heal feelings of loneliness, isolation, and anger.

Holding a hug for an extended time lifts one’s serotonin levels, elevating mood and creating happiness.
Hugging boosts self-esteem and relaxes muscles.
Hugs release tension in the body and can take away pain
Hugs balance out the nervous system
Hugs educate us how love flows both ways.
Hugs are so much like meditation and laughter. They teach us to let go and be present in the moment. They encourage us to flow with the energy of life. Hugs get you out of your circular thinking patterns and connect you with your heart and your feelings and your breath.

Touching and being in close contact with others keeps us happy and healthy

The importance of human touch:
“All human primates are wired for touch, whether we like or not,” says Francis McGlone, a professor of neuroscience at Liverpool John Moores University.
“‘Skin hunger’ is a layman’s term for what, in research, is known as ‘affection deprivation’, which is associated with a range of psychological and even physical health detriments,” adds Kory Floyd, a professor of communication at the University of Arizona who has written extensively on how a dearth of tactile affection can be linked to stress, depression, loneliness and anxiety.
McGlone’s area of interest lies in a different nerve altogether – the C-tactile afferent. This touch-hungry nerve fibre responds specifically to gentle stroking and, unlike its counterpart, does not send this information to the brain straight away – it takes several seconds to arrive.
“That nerve clearly evolved differently,” says McGlone. “The nerve fibre fires up areas of the brain that connect to reward. There’s a release of oxytocin, a hormone that plays a fundamental role in our social behaviour. It has an effect on our dopamine levels, which is the brain’s reward system; it impacts on the release of serotonin, which is connected to our happiness and wellbeing; it has an impact on oustress system; and it helps lower our heart rate.”
“The effects of touch are physiological, bioelectrical and biochemical,” agrees Tiffany Field, founder of the Touch Research Institute at Miami Medical School. “Moving the skin (as, for example, in hugging, massaging and exercise) stimulates pressure receptors which are transmitted to the vagus nerve, the largest cranial nerve that has many branches in the body. Increased vagal activity calms the nervous system (e.g. slows heart rate and leads to EEG patterns that accompany relaxation). It also reduces cortisol – the culprit stress hormone – that then saves natural killer cells that kill viral, bacterial and cancer cells.”

When two cousins and best friends were hugging each other for the first time after lockdown, they started sobbing from the bottom of their hearts. This shows, how much trauma the social distancing has created in us, and how much we NEED hugs. All of us are traumatised – but adults usually don’t show or admit it.

Benefits of chanting
Chanting is a form of singing repetitive short phrases with usually a spiritual message

There are so many benefits of singing including heart health, relaxation and helping the immune system.
The first study to “demonstrate the widespread immune effects of singing, in particular its effects on cytokines showed a significant decrease in cortisol and neuropeptide levels accompanied by an acute increase in cytokine and receptor activity. …this demonstrates that improvements in mood were associated with lower levels of pro-inflammatory response”
“there was evidence that greater improvements in mood as a result of singing were associated with lower pro-inflammatory response… independent of stress levels. … those with the lowest levels of mental wellbeing and highest levels of depression experienced the greatest short-term improvement in mood across the singing session, and that these larger mood changes were associated with lower levels of inflammation.“  [from ecancer.org/en/journal/article/631]

Keeping body and soul in tune – the many health benefits of singing:

bacteria from respiratory droplets spread by singing versus talking into a petri dish
Singing versus talking to a petridish:
there’s really not much difference.
See the whole perti dish experiment in the ‘Face Masks’ chapter

The experiment on the left shows, that singing does NOT spread bacteria more than talking into a petri dish.
However: the health benefits of singing are much higher than those of talking.
WHY are we not allowed to sing?
And there is not much difference between with, and without mask.

The above experiment also proves the old advice: “catch it & bin it”.
A handkerchief or coughing / sneezing into one’s ellbow should be sufficient.

Below is an example, which should really be in the comedy section:

Humming & Nitric Oxide

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#humming – chapter created: 20 December 2020

Nitric oxide shows promise as antiviral treatment:
“An in vitro study finds that nitric oxide, NO, may suppress SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The researchers suggest that inhaled nitric oxide may be an effective treatment for the disease.
Nitric oxide is a cell signaling molecule produced naturally by the body with anti-inflammatory effects and is a vasodilator, meaning it dilates blood vessels to increase blood flow. It also has antiviral properties and is is effective against the herpes virus, coxsackievirus, and hantavirus.
It also inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV.”
“A small clinical study suggests that inhaled nitric oxide at low concentrations not only works as a vasodilator for SARS patients — improving oxygenation of their blood — but also as an antiviral agent.”
“The scientists were also able to show that nitric oxide inhibited a key enzyme called a protease that the virus needs to make copies of itself.”

PubMed.gov publihed a study in 2002: “Humming greatly increases nasal nitric oxide” – Abstract:
“The paranasal sinuses are major producers of nitric oxide (NO). We hypothesized that oscillating airflow produced by humming would enhance sinus ventilation and thereby increase nasal NO levels. Ten healthy subjects took part in the study. Nasal NO was measured with a chemiluminescence technique during humming and quiet single-breath exhalations at a fixed flow rate.
NO increased 15-fold during humming compared with quiet exhalation. In a two-compartment model of the nose and sinus, oscillating airflow caused a dramatic increase in gas exchange between the cavities…”

It is a powerful non-pharmaceutical prescription for self-healing that has only positive side effects, such as harmony, health, and happiness. 
“The Goldmans have superbly, practically, and with great simplicity expanded upon this truth and demonstrated the potency of the hum to heal at all levels of our being. The Humming Effect, with its audio tracks, is an essential text in extending the range of what the human voice can achieve in self-empowered wellness.”

Sunshine, Darkness & Health

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#sunshine

The media have been full with disease scares, and not much about health

There is so much more to sunshine than producing vitamin D.
Sunshine literally nourishes us and is essentila to human health.
And yes: UV light kills viruses and disinfects naturally.
Ari Whitten gives a lecture on Using Light, Circadian Rhythm, sleep and Hormesis to Optimize Immune Function.

Science proves the sun’s UV light is antiviral

A good night’s sleep is a backbone for health
Here tips from 8 Reasons Why You’re Not Sleeping Well:
• No workout within three hours of your own bedtime.
• Limit alcohol in the evening: it interferes with your REM sleep cycle
• Stay cool for the most refreshing sleep
• Avoid worries or stress; write down your worries before bedtime, along with a few things you are grateful for. Try meditating.
• No coffeine from late afternoon: the half-life of caffeine is 3-5 hours.
• Silence! Try using a white-noise machine to block out the sound.
• Darkness! Light impairs your sleep quality – sleeping with lights on results in a 50% melatonin reduction.
No electronics at least an hour before bedtime.
• No late heavy meal sending your digestive system into overdrive

exposure to room light before bedtime suppresses melatonin onset
Melatonin (produced in darkness) is essential for health

Your Brain Starts Eating Itself After Being Starved for Sleep:

  • Sleep deprivation can trigger abnormal action of astrocytes, cells involved in brain cleansing and regeneration
  • When astrocytes are functioning abnormally, they can eat and destroy healthy brain synapses, increasing your risk of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases
  • A consistent sleep schedule is important for keeping your brain healthy and avoiding other chronic health problems
  • The exact amount of sleep you need depends on your age, overall health and activity levels, but for adults, seven to nine hours is a good general rule

In our western “modern” lives we get too little sun light exposure at day time – and too much artificial light before going to bed, which can derail the human circadian rhythm.

health impact of circadian rhythms
circadian rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours. Abnormal circadian rhythm in humans is known as circadian rhythm disorder and can lead to various diseases.

Aspirin & Coronavirus

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#aspirin – 2 February 2021

Covid-19 patients using aspirin were 43% less likely to be admitted to the ICU 
They were also 44% less likely to need ventilators due to their heart medication
Daily aspirin use also reduced the risk of death by 47%
Researchers say aspirin could be the first over-the counter drug for Covid-19 [MailOnline, 26 October 2020

Aspirin Use is Associated with Decreased Mechanical Ventilation, ICU Admission, and In-Hospital Mortality in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19

  • The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus can cause blood platelets to clump, leading to potential blood clots that damage organs.
  • Aspirin is known to thin the blood, helping to prevent blood clots in people who have cardiovascular disease.
  • A new study shows that people hospitalized with COVID-19 benefitted from taking low-dose aspirin.

Low-dose (81 mg) aspirin has been used as a therapy to decrease the risk of heart attacks and strokes caused by blood clots in people who have cardiovascular disease (CVD) [source]
Whether low-dose aspirin is helpful or harmful depends on who you are. If you are at risk of cardiovascular disease, it could be beneficial; but if you are at risk of ulcers and bleeding in your gastrointestinal tract, it could be harmful.

Vitamin B, Niacin & Immunity

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#vitamin-b new chapter, 20 January 2021

Is Niacin a Missing Piece of the COVID Puzzle?

  • B vitamins may play an important role in COVID-19 prevention and treatment, according to two recent papers
  • Based on B vitamins’ effects on your immune system, immune-competence and red blood cells (which help fight infection), supplementation may be a useful adjunct to other prevention and treatment strategies
  • Vitamin B assists in proper activation of both the innate and adaptive immune responses, reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, improves respiratory function, maintains endothelial integrity, prevents hypercoagulability and can reduce the length of stay in hospital.
  • Niacin (vitamin B3) appears particularly important. According to a recent paper, there appears to be a causative link between low niacin status and SARS-CoV-2 infection
  • SARS-CoV-2’s ability to invade your body is dependent on calcium signaling, which in turn is dependent on the presence of NAADP, which is formed from niacin. NAADP-dependent calcium signaling is responsible both for the inhibition of viral entry into cells and driving the virus out of already infected cells

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) — Thiamine improves immune system function, protects cardiovascular health, inhibits inflammation and aids in healthy antibody responses.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) — Riboflavin in combination with ultraviolet light has been shown to decrease the infectious titer of SARS-CoV-2 below the detectable limit
Vitamin B3 (niacin/nicotinamide) — Niacin is a building block of NAD and NADP, which are vital when combating inflammation.
“the downstream inflammatory propagation of ensuing severe acute respiratory virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is entirely prohibited or reversed upstream out the body to expeditiously restore health with well-tolerated dynamic supplementation of sufficient NA (i.e., ~1-3 grams per day).”
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) — Vitamin B5 aids in wound healing and reduces inflammation.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5′-phosphate/pyridoxine) — Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B6, is a cofactor in several inflammatory pathways.
Vitamin B9 (folate/folic acid) — Folate, the natural form of B9 found in food, is required for the synthesis of DNA and protein in your adaptive immune response.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) — B12 is required for healthy synthesis of red blood cells and DNA. A deficiency in B12 increases inflammation and oxidative stress by raising homocysteine levels. B12 deficiency is also associated with certain respiratory disorders. Advancing age can diminish your body’s ability to absorb B12 from food

“A recent study showed that methylcobalamin supplements have the potential to reduce COVID-19-related organ damage and symptoms. A clinical study conducted in Singapore showed that COVID-19 patients who were given vitamin B12 supplements (500 μg), vitamin D (1000 IU) and magnesium had reduced COVID-19 symptom severity and supplements significantly reduced the need for oxygen and intensive care support.”

Niacin Modulates the Bradykinin Storm
COVID-19 also triggers bradykinin storms. Bradykinin is a chemical that helps regulate your blood pressure and is controlled by your renin-angiotensin system (RAS). The bradykinin hypothesis provides a model that helps explain some of the more unusual symptoms of COVID-19, including its bizarre effects on your cardiovascular system
[see chapter ‘Covid Long Haulers‘ above]

As a “health restorative therapy” for those diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2, they recommend starting with a dose of 500 milligrams of immediate-release niacin, two to three times a day, ideally within the first 48 hours of symptom onset. As your flush response lessens, increase your dose to 1,000 mg, two to three times a day.23

Your optimal dose of vitamin C depends on one thing: you. Are you healthy? Stressed? Sick? In sickness it was observed by Robert F. Cathcart, III, MD, that, “The amount of oral ascorbic acid (vitamin C) tolerated by a patient without producing diarrhea (loose bowels) increases somewhat proportionately to the stress or toxicity of his disease” and “[s]tressful conditions of any kind greatly increase utilization of vitamin C.” In other words, the sicker or more stressed you are, the more vitamin C you will “hold” before getting to saturation (bowel tolerance). Bowel tolerance is indicated by gas, a rumbling stomach, or slightly loose stool. If you take way too much C, very loose stool will result, but this goes away once dosages are reduced. When bowel tolerance is reached, this is a sign to back off the extra C. We continue to take C, but we take less and less often. It may take days to resolve illness (it depends how sick we are) but when healthy, the body needs less and “holds” less C. “

Biophysicist Virgiliu Gheorghe on the topic of vitamin C:
it looks like it was vitamin C that lead to stopping the epidemic in China.” in the article Coronavirus Coverup — Vitamin C Dramatic Help against Infection in China, South Korea — Why Aren’t We Told

Orthomolecular.org reports on 16 August:
These studies show very promising results including statistically significant reduction in mortality and inflammation of Covid-19 patients treated with HDIVC [High Dose IntraVenous Vitamin C], with no significant side effect.
But no major medical journals have agreed to publish the papers”.
“…12 qualified patients (18 years or older), 6 critically ill and 6 severely ill patients, were identified and included in the final analysis. C reactive protein, lymphocyte count and CD4+ T cell counts returned to normal on Day 3.
Similar trend of improvement in blood oxygenation levels (PaO2/FiO2) and SOFA (an organ failure measurement) score was also observed, after HDIVC … there were no deaths in HDIVC treated Covid-19 patients in Shanghai.”
“An NIH document (updated in February 2020) clearly states that HDIVC is safe even at very high doses”
The FDA even allows “compassionate drug use” which stipulates the use of new and unapproved drug to treat seriously ill patient when no other treatments are available [11].”

The NHS and NICE only mention vitamin C use for treating scurvy, and declare: “Claims that vitamin C ameliorates colds or promotes wound healing have not been proven.”
Wikipedia states “Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin,[22] … exhibits remarkably low acute toxicity.[5] More than two to three grams may cause indigestion, particularly when taken on an empty stomach.”

Scheme showing no improvement unless really high doses of vitamin C are taken. Disease symptom curves indicate very little effect on acute symptoms until doses of 80-90% of bowel tolerance are reached. Perhaps it is only near tolerance doses that the ascorbate is pushed into the primary sites of the disease.

‘Public Health’ should promote the use of Vitamin C as a home remedy to prevent and treat inflammation before using NHS services, recommending “titrating to bowel tolerance”.

Only when enough vitamin C is made available to the body, dramatic improvement occurs.

There is evidence that vitamin C and quercetin co-administration exerts a synergistic antiviral action due to overlapping antiviral and immunomodulatory properties and the capacity of ascorbate to recycle quercetin, increasing its efficacy:

  • Quercetin and Vitamin C: Synergistic Therapy for COVID-19
  • Vitamin C and quercetin have synergistic effects, useful in the prevention and early at-home treatment of COVID-19. Both are part of the MATH+ protocol developed by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Working Group (FLCCC)
  • For COVID-19 prophylaxis, the FLCCC recommends vitamin C, quercetin, zinc, melatonin and vitamin D3
  • The in-hospital MATH+ protocol calls for intravenous methylprednisone, high-dose ascorbic acid (vitamin C), thiamine and heparin. Optional additions include melatonin, zinc, vitamin D3, atorvastatin, famotidine and magnesium
  • Starting aggressive treatment as early as possible is crucial

“…large doses of vitamin C could also cure other viral diseases such as meningitis, hepatitis, measles, mumps, pneumonia, shingles and even the poisonous bite of a rattlesnake. [2-4] 
Since that time other researchers have reported that there is no viral disease that high-dose IVC cannot successfully treat.
“Klenner did not win a popularity contest with his colleagues. He wrote in frustration that “Some physicians would stand by and see their patient die rather than use ascorbic acid because in their finite minds it exists only as a vitamin.”
“…doctors who use IVC in North America are being harassed by authorities. In some case, being told that if they persist they will lose their license to practice medicine.” [source]

Vitamin D Covid-19 Treatment

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#vitamin-d – updated: 31 March 2021

22 Feb 2021: A Spanish study found giving supplemental vitamin D3 (calcifediol) to hospitalized patients with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 — in addition to standard care — reduced ICU admissions by 82% and mortality by 64%
You need 244% more oral vitamin D if you’re not also taking magnesium and vitamin K2.43 [source]

Vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of acute respiratory tract infection among all participants in 25 eligible randomised controlled trials with 11 321 participants, Vitamin D supplementation was safe and it protected against acute respiratory tract infection overall. Patients who were very vitamin D deficient and those not receiving bolus doses experienced the most benefit.”

  • A randomized clinical study found giving hospitalized COVID-19 patients calcifediol (a vitamin D3 analog) in addition to standard care reduced intensive care unit admissions from 50% to 2%. None of those given calcifediol died, and all were discharged without complications
  • Vitamin D lowers viral replication, boosts your overall immune function by modulating both innate and adaptive immune responses, reduces respiratory distress, improves overall lung function and helps produce surfactants in your lungs that aid in fluid clearance
  • Vitamin D also lowers your risk of comorbidities associated with poor COVID-19 prognosis, including obesity, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease [source]

An August 2020 study found patients who had a vitamin D level below 12 ng/mL (30 nmol/L) had a 6.12 times higher risk of severe disease requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, and a 14.7 times higher risk of death compared to those with a vitamin D level above 12 ng/mL

An adult will need to take 4,000 IU/day of vitamin D3 for three months to reliably achieve a 75 nmol/L level. Persons of colour may need twice as much.”
“And since vitamin D is fat-soluble and its level in the body rises slowly, for those with a deficiency, taking an initial dose of 5-fold the normal dose (20,000 IU/day) for two weeks can help to raise the level up to an adequate level to lower infection risk.”
Government recommendations for vitamin D intake — 400 IU/day for the UK and 600 IU/day for the USA (800 IU for >70 years) and the EU — are based primarily on bone health. This is woefully inadequate in the pandemic context.” [source]

Vitamin D biochemistry, RAS and ARDS – summary of findings in this section:

  • Chronic Vitamin D deficiency induces lung fibrosis through activation of the RAS.
  • Vitamin D deficiency contributes directly to the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
  • Low Vitamin D Status Occurs in 90% of Patients with ARDS and Is Associated with Longer Duration of Mechanical Ventilation.
  • Vitamin D prevents experimental lung fibrosis and predicts survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
  • Vitamin D alleviates lipopolysaccharide‑induced acute lung injury via regulation of the renin‑angiotensin system.
  • VDR Attenuates Acute Lung Injury by Blocking Ang-2-Tie-2 Pathway and Renin-Angiotensin System.
  • 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 suppresses renin gene transcription by blocking the activity of the cyclic AMP response element in the renin gene promoter.
  • Vitamin D supplementation is safe and protects against respiratory tract infection.
  • Studies in HIV patients show Vitamin D induces anti-inflammatory responses through direct effects on T-cells. 
    Vitamin D promotes an anti-inflammatory response by inhibiting the maturation of dendritic cells, downregulating antigen presenting molecules (MHC-class II), costimulatory molecules (e.g., CD40, CD80, and CD86), and pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-12 and IL-23); Simultaneously, Vitamin D enhances anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) and T-cell inhibitory molecule (PD-1).

Chronic vitamin D deficiency induces lung fibrosis through activation of the renin-angiotensin system

  • Vitamin D is causal in reducing development of all cancers, including colorectal cancer.
  • Mortality rates for colorectal cancer have been shown to correlate with latitude.
  • Vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency plays a causative role in the prevalence of Crohn’s Disease.
  • People living near the equator are at low risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease, however, upon migration to developed countries in temperate climates, the risk of IBD increases.
  • Regular doses of vitamin D (VTD)—about 2000 IU/d—early in life have been shown to reduce the risk of developing type 1 diabetes (up to an 80% reduction projected over the next 30 years)
  • Vitamin D is implicated in procognitive and neuroprotective functions, including the reduction of Alzheimer’s disease hallmarks 
  • Nicotine (smoking) downregulates ACE2 almost certainly worsening Covid-19 outcomes for smokers and ex-smokers.

HealthTruth.info comment: there is no patent on D3, so no profit;
all the profit is in the flu vaccines and covid vaccines.

WARNING: in very rare cases of hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood), vitamin D3 should NOT be taken. In March 2021 a woman, B., contacted HealthTruth.info and shared her story:
“We spoke about Vitamin D and  I’ve just written a few words on my problems with it here, I realise it is probably very rare.  I had lots of bloods taken at that time and no other seemed to be of concern.
1) after blood test  Vit D on lowest limit of lower level, advised to take a minimum dose  in 2016/2017 apx 1000iu per day or 7000 a week.
Symptoms had been tiredness, aching and not enough energy in muscles when at Gym, walking was fine.
2) after apx 4 weeks aching got worse , after 6 weeks started to feel really tired bones aching, felt sick, then weeing more, drinking more, for about 3 days as well as previous noticed my vision blurred by afternoon and difficulty focusing, also think I may have had heart palpitations . Final evening started feeling really unwell, thirsty , going to toilet, sweating, all bones ached, by late evening in agony, literally crawled in to bed laid there in agony even my toe bones ached all bones ached. Laid in bed all evening in agony couldn’t face getting  to hospital sitting in waiting room as everything just hurt too much so just lay there all night.
Next morning felt better than I had and stopped taking any supplements incl vitamin D took it easy, noticed after stopping Vitamin D, I was feeling better each day & tried to get the doctors to find out if too much vitamin D
took blood but  vit D still low , I realise they probably should have taken a calcium blood check as later found out the symptoms were hypercalcemia.
For some, taking a vitamin D supplement over an extended period of time can cause the blood calcium level to rise. If calcium in the blood exceeds a normal level, hypercalcemia may develop.
3) Many people prescribing Vitamin D say cant take too much, but clearly there are a few like me that it doesnt agree with.   Long term I’ve noticed my toes still ache regularly, especially after a long walk.
Only other medical problems at the time was I will have been menopausal  & stressed.
Happy for you to let people be aware of this, preferably not name me, but do mention its rare as I dont want to panic anyone when everyone is being told to take vitamin D.
I only know of one elderly person in a nursing home who had similar problems, but if anyone feels worse after taking  Vitamin D please stop & review.”

Madagascar’s remedy ‘Covid-Organics’

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#madagaskar

“This herbal tea gives results in seven days,” said Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina in April. ‘Covid Organics’ is a herbal remedy (also known as Tambavy CVO), produced from artemisia, a plant with proven efficacy against malaria, and other indigenous herbs, according to the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research, which developed the beverage.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) advised people against using untested remedies for COVID-19. “Even if therapies are derived from traditional practice and natural, establishing their efficacy and safety through rigorous clinical trials is critical.”

Sweet wormwood - Artemisia

Does Madagascar’s herbal remedy, COVID-Organics work?
In short, our venture EMSKE Phytochem comes out very much in support of COVID-Organics… Quercetin-7-glucoside (aka “quercimeritrin”) actually shows a rather strong 9.15 in the silico assay results. What we see as demonstrating efficacy in the extract is in a lot of common everyday fruits & vegetables as well, like red onions. This plant has been known to (Chinese) traditional medicine to be safe for administering by way of ingestion. 

In Germany  Artemisia annua plant extract was tested (also known as sweet wormwood). Researchers found that the leaves of Artemisia extract showed anti-viral activity after being extracted with pure ethanol or distilled water. The anti-viral activity increased considerably when the ethanol extract was combined with coffee.

Selenium Benefits

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#selenium

Researchers found that areas with high levels of selenium were more likely to recover from the virus. In the city of Enshi in Hubei Province, which has the highest selenium intake in China, the cure rate (percentage of Covid-19 patients declared ‘cured’) was almost three-times higher than the average for all the other cities in Hubei Province.
By contrast, in Heilongjiang Province, where selenium intake is among the lowest in the world, the death rate from Covid-19 was almost five-times as high as the average of all the other provinces outside of Hubei.
Selenium appears relevant to a number of evolutionarily distinct viruses, via potential immunomodulatory effects that are fully consistent with the many essential roles of selenium in the immune system.

Here are some known health benefits of selenium:
Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Improved Thyroid Health
Cancer Prevention
Heart Health
Fertility Support
Help Treating Asthma
Foods rich in selenium:
Brazil nuts, Salmon, Tuna, Turkey, Cottage cheese, Chicken, Mushrooms, Halibut, Eggs, Navy beans, Sardines, Sunflower seeds, Grass-fed beef, Oats

HCQ – Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#hcq

Treating covid-19 successfully with zinc and hydroxychloroquine:

Zinc inhibits RNA polymerase activity of coronaviruses and thus blocks virus replication. Hydroxychloroquine and quercetin support the cellular absorption of zinc and have additional anti-viral properties.

“The mortality rate from COVID-19 in countries that allow access to HCQ is only one-tenth the mortality rate in countries where there is interference with this medication, such as the United States,” the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (AAPS) general counsel Andrew Schlafly said, citing easier access to the drug in Philippines, Poland, Israel, Turkey, and even Venezuela.

Turkey’s COVID-19 Early Hydroxychloroquine Treatment Strategy
“As soon as a patient has symptoms, they are treated with hydroxychloroquine tablets and/or favipiravir at home. Follow-up calls quickly spot if the symptoms worsen, and then they will be admitted to hospital.”
The Turkish approach is at odds with most countries, such as the UK, where symptomatic patients are asked to stay home, wait, until the symptoms essentially become unbearable, and then serious complications and hospitalisation become very likely.
[Sky News written reporting is remarkable, covering how early outpatient treatment is implemented in Turkey. But there is not a word in their TV program about it]

WARNING: according to Dr. Wodarg, people with ancestors from malaria countries (Africa) may have a glucose-6-dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, a hereditary trait particularly common among ethnic groups living in or coming from areas with malaria. One of the substances dangerous in all forms of this enzyme deficiency is is the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ).
Little attention is paid to this serious side effect in HCQ studies.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) Treatment

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#NAC

FDA Wants to Ban NAC Now That It Combats COVID-19:

  • N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has a long history of use as a first-aid remedy for acetaminophen poisoning. Compelling research suggests it may also be useful against COVID-19
  • By raising glutathione, NAC combats oxidative stress, which is a main cause of the cytokine storm associated with COVID-19. NAC also inhibits hypercoagulation and breaks up blood clots, which is another complication seen in some COVID-19 cases
  • NAC helps loosen thick mucus in the lungs and improves a variety of lung-related problems, including pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), both of which are common characteristics of COVID-19
  • NAC was found to improve immune function and reduce the severity of influenza infections. 
  • Aside from increasing glutathione, NAC may also prevent or improve COVID-19 infection by improving T cell response and modulating inflammation

At present, seven studies involving NAC for COVID-19 are listed on Clinicaltrials.gov.5
The number needed to treat (NNT) in the study8 cited by Debé is 0.5, which means for every two people treated with NAC, one will be protected against symptomatic influenza. That’s significantly better than influenza vaccines, which have an NNV (number needed to vaccinate) of 71,9 meaning 71 people must be vaccinated to prevent a single case of confirmed influenza. It’s even better than vitamin D, which has an NNT of 33.10 
With COVID-19 treatment as a new indication, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is now suddenly cracking down on NAC, claiming it is excluded from the definition of a dietary supplement, as it was approved as a new drug in 1985.2 As such, NAC cannot be marketed as a supplement.

June 30, 2020, “Zelenko and two co-authors published a study,10 currently in preprint, which found treating COVID-19 patients who had confirmed positive test results “as early as possible after symptom onset” with zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin “was associated with significantly less hospitalizations and five times less all-cause deaths.” Hydroxychloroquine has been used safely for 65 years in many millions of patients.”

From How a False Hydroxychloroquine Narrative Was Created

The Swiss Policy Research recommends the following Covid-19 treatment
(updated 4 September):
Prophylaxis:
Zinc (50mg to 100mg per day)
Quercetin (500mg to 1000mg per day)
Bromhexine (25mg to 50mg per day)
Vitamins C (1000mg) and D (2000 u/d)

Early treatment:
Zinc (75mg to 150mg per day)
Quercetin (500mg to 1500mg per day)
Bromhexine (50mg to 75mg per day)
Vitamins C (1000mg) and D (4000 u/d)

Ancillary (prescription only):
Hydroxychloroquine (400mg per day)
High-dose vitamin D (1x 100,000 IU)
Azithromycin (up to 500mg per day)
Heparin (usual dosage)
Note: Contraindications for HCQ (e.g. favism or heart disease) must be observed.
Addendum: Other prescription drugs with first reported successes in the early medical treatment of Covid-19 are ivermectin (read more) and favipiravir (read more).

Professor Thomas Borody, from the Centre for Digestive Diseases in Sydney, Australia, claims in covexit.com in August: It’s Easier than Treating the Flu
COVID-19 is now curable with Ivermectin in combination with 2 other widely available generic drugs – Doxycycline and Zinc 
it can treat and get rid, within 6 to 10 days, of the coronavirus”
Why aren’t we treating every elderly person in every health care facility, in every aged care facility with this? “There is no drug company behind it. “There are no people who are lobbying government and giving donations for reelections.”

Budesonide is an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid. Inhaled with a nebulizer directly into the lungs, it prevents the cytokene storm triggered by covid-19. This is an easily deployable pre-hospital community-based treatment. “Thus far, 100% of my patients appear to be symptom free following a course of inhaled Budesonide therapy”. Budesonide has been studied and utilized for lung related inflammation for over 20 years.

Homeopathy, Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#homeopathy-acupuncture – updated 23 January 2021

Acupuncture could help coronavirus patientsstudy says
By Hannah Frishberg and Hannah Sparks, August 17, 2020
The traditional Chinese practice influenced rodents’ ability to cope with a cytokine storm. In the new study, researchers found that mice experiencing a cytokine storm had a 40% greater chance of survival when treated with electroacupuncture. As well, acupuncture worked well as a preventative practice: Mice treated with acupuncture before developing a cytokine storm experienced lower levels of inflammation and their survival rate increased from 20 to 80%.
“It’s always nice when Western studies back up the ancient healing medical system of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine… Acupuncture is fantastic at triggering the body’s innate healing abilities, helping with inflammation and calming the nervous system. I have seen great results at my practice, treating patients with post-COVID-19 symptoms,” said acupuncturist Sara Reznikoff

Homeopaths have trialed remedies for covid-19 with highly encouraging results.
Phosphorous and Spigelia.
“Homeopathy is hugely successful during epidemics, with a lower mortality rate and people getting better much more quickly,” says Sherr. “So far, the results with COVID-19 have been amazing.”
Of the 204 cases, 64 percent reported their symptoms as “very much better” after homeopathy, 28 percent were “much better.” The other seven percent were either somewhat better or unchanged. None worsened.
The main remedies used in stage 1 cases were Aconite, Phosphorus, and Bryonia. The stage 2 cases had more intense and deeper symptoms and reduced vitality.
The contrast between the attitude of homeopaths like Sherr and the tales of helplessness and despair from medical doctors and nurses watching patients die alone on ventilators in traditional hospital ICUs, separated from their loved ones, couldn’t be starker.

The Scientist Magazine reports on the 7th February 2020:
“The Indian government’s Ministry of AYUSH, which promotes alternative medicine systems in the country, released a health advisory on January 29 that advocates the use of homeopathy and traditional remedies, such as Indian systems of medicine, to ward off infections of the newly circulating 2019-nCoV coronavirus. This includes the use of a homeopathic preparation called Arsenicum album 30C and two drops of sesame oil in each nostril each morning for prevention, and Unani medicines (treatments based on the teachings of Hippocrates and Galen) to mitigate symptoms of coronavirus infection.

New Coronavirus: All Eyes On India specifies another homeopathic treatment:
“It has recommended one dose of Arsenicum album 30, daily in empty stomach for three days. The dose should be repeated after one month by following the same schedule in case Coronavirus infections prevail in the community.”

According to Dr. med. Johannes Wilkens (ärztlicher Direktor der Alexander von Humboldt Klinik in Bad Steben, Landkreis Hof, Germany), homeopathic treatment with Bryonia/Stannum removes covid-19 symptoms after three days. [source: Verblüffende Corona-Heilungen durch homöopathische und anthroposophische Arzneimittel, 20 December 2020]

As homeopathy usually has no side effects, the only criticism could be that using homeopathy might prevent people from getting a “proper” treatment. As health officials keep claiming “there is no treatment for coronavirus”, this risk is clearly not existant.

Can Chinese Medicine Be Used for Prevention of Corona Virus Disease?
A Review of Historical Classics, Research Evidence and Current Prevention Programs from 17 Februry states:
“The infection rate of H1N1 influenza in the CM group was significantly lower than the non-CM group.”
The most frequently used herbs included Radix astragali (Huangqi), Radix glycyrrhizae (Gancao), Radix saposhnikoviae (Fangfeng), Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae (Baizhu), Lonicerae Japonicae Flos (Jinyinhua), and Fructus forsythia (Lianqiao).
Conclusions: Based on historical records and human evidence of SARS and H1N1 influenza prevention, Chinese herbal formula could be an alternative approach for prevention of COVID-19 in high-risk population.”

Research suggests seaweed used in traditional Chinese medicine could protect against COVID-19:
“a carbohydrate found in the seaweed Ecklonia kurome blocks the activity of an enzyme that is essential for the replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – the agent that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).” The seaweed is called “Kun Bu” in China.
The researchers found that polysaccharide 375 completely blocked the enzyme activity of 3CLpro. Furthermore, the homogeneous polysaccharide 37502 bound to 3CLpro and potently disrupted spike – ACE2 binding.
Recently, two components of the traditional Chinese herbal medicine Shuanghuanglian were shown to inhibit 3CLpro in SARS-CoV-2 and to exhibit potent antiviral activities in vitro.

Getting & Staying Healthy

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#healthy – updated: 20 January 2021

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
People with pre-existing conditions need to look after their health. Here are several studies showing what you can do if you have any of the following pre-existing conditions:

cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, pneumonia, obesity, dementia, malignancy, severe asthma, respiratory, liver, neurological and auto-immune diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and kidney disease.

WARNING: When you’ve been on a course of anti-biotics, these anti-biotics cannot distinguish between good and bad bacteria and zaps them all. It can take up to 6 months for the good bacteria to re-populate the gut; some unlucky people can take even longer.
Do you use anti-bacterial wipes? Anti-bacterial washing up liquid, anti-bacterial cleaning sprays in your house, if you do, it is inevitable that you will be ingesting some of the antibacterial agents and they will be destroying the good bacteria in your gut.

  • Metabolic Inflexibility Is Key Risk Factor for COVID-19:
  • While SARS-CoV-2 is a rampant virus that can cause severe problems in vulnerable individuals, the real pandemic — the underlying cause that makes people susceptible to complications from the infection in the first place — is poor metabolic health
  • Aside from old age, obesity has been identified as one of the primary risk factors for being hospitalized with COVID-19 — doubling the risk of hospitalization in patients under the age of 60 in one study
  • One hypothesis for why obesity is worsening COVID-19 has to do with the fact that obesity causes chronic inflammation. Having more proinflammatory cytokines in circulation increases your risk of experiencing a cytokine storm
  • Insulin resistance is another top risk factor for COVID-19 that worsens outcomes and increases your risk of death
  • There are five primary parameters of metabolic health: waist circumference, insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and triglyceride and HDL levels. Having three or more abnormal parameters is indicative of metabolic syndrome

N-acetylcysteine (NAC), elderberry (shortens influenza duration by two to four days), Spirulina, beta-glucan, Glucosamine (upregulates mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS), Selenium , Zinc, lipoic acid, sulforaphane, resveratrol, vitamin D, Bifidobacterium bifidum strain probiotics and sporebiotics

Some basic remindres to get and stay healthy:
Drinking water for hydration, flushing toxins in the body
Fever is your immune system in action. Support it, don’t bring it down.
Stop taking pain killers – they shorten your life span
Exercise daily in nature.
Breathing exercises help to relax. Avoid any stress.
Cold Showers every day result in 30% less sickness days
Quit smoking & vaping for your lung’s health
Remove GMO foods (see info table below)! Go organic.
Avoid antibiotics
FEAR is enemy #1 in covid-19. Focus on LOVE.
Look after your gut – home of the immune system

Commitment: Going deep into your own physiology takes commitment and a willingness to move out of your natural comfort zone. The time to unleash your inner power is now!

Relaxing in an icecube filled pool THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE WIM HOF METHOD

If ice is too much for you:
start with having a cold shower after hot each day:
‘There was a really interesting study showing that if people had a normal shower and then for the last 30 seconds or so every morning, they switched it to cold. The people who were having the cold showers, they reduced their sickness days from work,’ a researcher told Dr Ronx.
‘It was 30% lower in sickness rate in those people, so that’s quite a big drop.’ ‘That cold part of the shower in the morning was initiating this stress response which was helping initiate some of these beneficial mechnicisms’ the researcher continued. [source: metro.co.uk 7 Jan 2021]

Many scientific studies have confirmed the Wim Hof method works –
for example: Radboud University, The Netherlands (2014):

  • Aimed to test if the results from the first study on Wim could be reproduced with a larger group
  • Injected 12 Wim Hof Method practitioners with an endotoxin
  • Results showed that, like Wim, they were able to control their sympathetic nervous system and immune response
  • Anti-inflammatory mediators were ~200% higher,
    while pro-inflammatory mediators were ~50% lower
  • Potentially important implications for “conditions associated with excessive or persistent inflammation, especially autoimmune diseases.” (2014, Knox et. al.)

Testimonials:
“For 12 years now I have had rheumatism. Thanks to the Wim Hof Method I have been able to halve the amount of anti-inflammatory drugs”
“I have severe arthritis in my left hip. By implementing the Wim Hof Method in my daily life, I can deal with this without getting surgery. I’m almost 66 years old and by practicing the Wim Hof Method I feel much more alive”

BECAUSE WE WEAR CLOTHES AND CONTROL THE TEMPERATURES AT HOME AND WORK, WE HAVE CHANGED THE STIMULATION ON OUR BODY, THUS THE OLD MECHANISMS RELATED TO SURVIVE AND FUNCTION.
AS THESE DEEPER PHYSIOLOGICAL LAYERS ARE NOT STIMULATED ANYMORE WE HAVE BECOME ALIENATED FROM THEM, THUS OUR BODIES HAVE WEAKENED AND WE ARE NO LONGER IN TOUCH WITH THIS INNER POWER.
THE INNER POWER IS A FORCE ACCUMULATED BY FULL AWAKENED PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES. IT ALSO INFLUENCES THE VERY CORE OF OUR DNA” [Wim Hof]

You can join a FREE Mini Class containing 3 videos, one on each of the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method; Breathing, Cold Therapy and Commitment:

  • In video one Wim will teach you how to do the breathing technique, to help you reduce your stress levels and strengthen your immune system.
  • In the second video, Wim will explain how to improve your cold tolerance and how to take a cold shower – you can do it!

Food as Medicine and Fasting

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#food-medicine – updated 2 April 2021

The government needs to promote healthy eating and life style to support the immune system – this will also reduce many underlying causes of death (like obesity)
Since over 70% of bodily immune cells are associated with your gut – eating the right food has never been more important.
Here is some good nutritional advice for gut health & life style.
These natural antibiotics do not destroy the biome like anti-biotics do:

We are convinced that the elucidation of immunomodulation by food will help promote good health.”
“In this review, we describe the immunomodulating effects of various food components, including probiotics, prebiotics, polysaccharides, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, peptides, amino acids and polyphenols. Some of these components enhance immune responses, leading to host defense against infection, whereas others inhibit immune responses, thus suppressing allergy and inflammation.

Black seed, sweet orange, and Anthemis hyalina extracts all exhibit antiviral activity against coronavirus
The following substances have been researched for coronavirus disease:: Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), Flavonoids, Herbs, Quercetin, Houttuynia cordata, Nigella sativa (aka Black Seed), Sweet Orange, Probiotics, Zinc, Catechin, Garlic, Honeysuckle, Licorice and Pelargonium

9 foods helping you to keep your immune system strong 💪
Garlic: fights infections, has immune boosting properties
Broccoli: Packed with vitamins A, C, and E as well as numerous antioxidants
Yogurt: High in protein. Good source of vitamins B12, B2, and D. Contain probiotics needed for proper digestion, detoxification, and immune function.
Red Bell Peppers: Ounce for ounce have 2x more vitamin C than citrus
Ginger: Reduces inflammation which helps with inflammatory ailments and sore throats.
Spinach: Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and beta carotene. Beta carotene is believed to help fight infections.

Almonds: High in vitamin E
Green Tea: Contains EGCG which has been shown to enhance immune function
Citrus: high in vitamin C which increases white blood cell production

Anti-Inflammatory Foods
versus
Pro-Inflammatory Foods

“Let food be your medicine” [Hippocrates]
Eating the healthy foods is the basis of your health, considering that 70% of the immune system is based in the gut. It is always best to buy whole fruit and vegetables and prepare the food at home. Cooking is more healthy than frying. Lots of raw food, some fermented, will stimulate the gut. If you can, buy organic, to avoid the agrochemicals and pollutants, especially glyphosate. Search the web – and take your pick.

Here are lists of The dirty dozen & clean fifteen foods
“Clean 15” means: hardly polluted;
the “Dirty Dozen” are heavily polluted.

How to Eat for Life and strengthen your immune system with food short lecture by physician and author Dr. Joel Fuhrman

Fasting boosts the immune system
For millennia, fasting has been one of the anchoring rituals in a variety of spiritual denominations. It can help with inflammation, obesity, insulin resistance, visceral adiposity, and endothelial dysfunction and to Heal Autoimmune Disease – which is the problem why people die with coronavirus. Intermittent fasting has many other health benefits.

Fermented Food Magic

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#fermentation – updated: 21 December 2020

About 3/4 of the human immune system is based in the gut – a complex internal ecosystem, like a rain forest, also known as biome.
Fermentation turns good food into superfood. Fermentation produces “good” bacteria called probiotics, which confer a wealth of benefits to intestinal flora when consumed, enhancing the health of your gut microbiome and boosting your immune system. It is recommended to reseed your inner ecosystem with prebiotic and probiotic-rich foods, like sauerkraut, kimchi & kefir.

So what happens when you take antibiotics or regularly use antibacterial lotions and soaps? You literally kill the good bacteria and the bad ones take over. This, in turn, disturbs the symbiosis (balance) of your microbiome which will lead to digestive issues and immune reactions. Studies have linked everything from autism to most chronic diseases to leaky gut syndrome and improper digestion. 

Kefir is a unique cultured dairy product that is one of the most probiotic rich foods on the planet. Fermented milk products like kefir can help people with milk-related lactose intolerance.  
The Whey in Kefir, sometimes referred to as liquid gold, has long been known to have powerful detoxification qualities

Next time you get sick, think twice about taking an antibiotic and drink kefir instead. A study out of University College Cork in Ireland compared Lactobacillus probiotic preparations […] The researchers discovered that probiotics worked as well as or even better than antibiotic therapy in not only eliminating the infectious agent, but in resolving symptoms!
Consumption of fermented foods has been shown to kill several different types of cancerous tumors in animal studies.
Kefir  has strong anti-inflammatory properties and was found to have both positive effects on allergies and asthma.
More: Kefir Nutritional Facts [from: “What is Kefir?“]

How to make kefir easy yourself (and boost your gut based immune system): buy organic milk + one small bottle of kefir. Add a cup full of kefir to the milk, shake, and keep it in a warm(ish) place. Shake again twice a day; after one or two days the milk has fermented into kefir.
Keep refrigerated and use some of this kefir to start the next one.

the PubMed study “The effect of kefir consumption on human immune system: a cytokine study” confirms:
“Bioactive peptides activate innate immunity by stimulating macrophages, increasing phagocytosis, augmenting NO and cytokine production and boosting the lumen levels of IgG and IgA+ B-lymphocytes.”
“The results indicated that kefir use increased polarization of the immune response towards TH1 type and decreased TH2 type response and accordingly allergic response.”

Top Five Traditional Fermented Anti Aging Foods:
Thanks to the enzymatic boost provided by living microbes in fermented foods, the secret to lifelong vitality may lie in adding these nutritional powerhouses to your dinner plate.
Benefits of eating probiotic-rich fermented foods include:

  • Improved digestion[ii]
  • Boosted immunity[iii]
  • Enhanced weight loss[iv]
  • Treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal diseases[v]
  • Faster healing from colds and flus[vi]
  • Reduced risk of heart disease[vii]
  • Improved symptoms of anxiety and depression[viii]
  • Antiaging effects[ix]

1. Yogurt
2. Fermented Vegetables  Kimchi with antiaging effects, raw sauerkraut and pickled cucumbers, cauliflower and even leafy greens like mustard and collard.
3. Kombucha, a tart, fizzy, fermented tea beverage. Kombucha’s antioxidant activity has been found to be 100 times higher than vitamin C and 25 times higher than vitamin E..[xvii] Kombucha’s high levels of vitamin C boost immunity, and its antioxidant power protects against cell damage, inflammatory diseases, suppressed immunity and tumors.[xviii] 
4. Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV, attributed with antidiabetic and antioxidant effects that make it a useful ally in the fight against diabetes.[xxi] It’s recommended to start with no more than 2 tablespoons of ACV diluted with equal parts water, taken on an empty stomach immediately upon waking 
5. Miso is a fermented soybean paste. miso does, in fact, have the ability to prevent radiation injury.[xxvii]  Made by combining a mash of soybeans and grains with sea salt and koji (a mold starter), the mixture is fermented for three months to three years. [source]

When you buy bread, choose FERMENTED bread. Souerdough is naturally fermented. “Lavain Bread” dough was naturally fermented for 36 hours before baking.

EMF, Electrosmog, 5G and Exosomes

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#5g

Shielding EMF Improves Autoimmune Disease
Electrosmog at both an extremely low-frequency (ELF) or in the radio frequency (RF) range has been found to stimulate a cellular stress response, leading to expression of stress response genes.
Research shows that Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) pathways are susceptible to interference by electrosmog.
The function of another human protein, lysozyme, has been shown to be disrupted by electromagnetic radiation… depletion of lysozyme reduces bacteria-killing ability of human airway sections by approximately fifty percent.
Electrosmog has also been shown to induce DNA strand breakages,
Blocking exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) produces significant symptom changes in 90% of patients with autoimmune disease.
www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/groundbreaking-study-shows-shielding-emf-improves-autoimmune-disease1

According to researchers Marshall and Heil (2017), for instance, “The recent release of WiGig and anti-collision vehicle radars in the 60 GHz region embody a 1000-fold increase in frequency, and photon energy, over the exposures mankind experienced up until the 1950s” (1).

Better safe than sorry: stay away from 5G millimeter waves.
5G Technology and induction of coronavirus in skin cells
publishd on pubmed.gov:
“In this research, we show that 5G millimeter waves could be absorbed by dermatologic cells acting like antennas, transferred to other cells and play the main role in producing Coronaviruses in biological cells. DNA is built from charged electrons and atoms and has an inductor-like structure. This structure could be divided into linear, toroid and round inductors. Inductors interact with external electromagnetic waves, move and produce some extra waves within the cells. The shapes of these waves are similar to shapes of hexagonal and pentagonal bases of their DNA source.
These waves produce some holes in liquids within the nucleus. To fill these holes, some extra hexagonal and pentagonal bases are produced. These bases could join to each other and form virus-like structures such as Coronavirus. To produce these viruses within a cell, it is necessary that the wavelength of external waves be shorter than the size of the cell.
Thus 5G millimeter waves could be good candidates for applying in constructing virus-like structures such as Coronaviruses (COVID-19) within cells.

This is such a strange study – who would want to create coronavirus like structures within cells? These sound just like exosomes – see below:

Exosomes are small (30–150 nm) vesicles containing sophisticated RNA and protein cargo, that are constantly secreted by all cells in vitro and in vivo. Exosomes are changing research due to the intriguing functions within human body, including intercellular communication and signaling. These extracellular vesicles are growing, both in understanding their biological functions and using them towards practical applications such as development of non-invasive diagnostics and advanced therapeutics

According to Dr. Kaufman, what the experts call COVID-19 is not really a disease and a deadly “virus” per se but an “exosome”. Kaufman argued that exosomes are the agents that can be found on the tests using RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription –  Polymerase Chain Reaction), of course the test they use for COVID-19, that is a naturally occurring agent in body cells found in different parts, including the lungs. In his presentation, he explained that exosomes are excreted by the cells when fighting various insults caused by environmental and biological toxins, stress (including fear), infection, harmful radiations, and other kinds of injuries. These exosomes, Kaufman emphasized, do not harm the body but instead provide benefits to our health by facilitating healing.
“the exosome and the virus are essentially indistinguishable from each other.” [source]

Question: if exosomes are part of us humans, transferring genetic material, and if they look just like coronaviruses: would a coronavirus vaccine interfere with the function our exosomes have? Could that unlash unwanted reactions / auto immune diseases?

We Need to CHANGE the NHS

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#change-nhs – updated: 7 April 2021

The current “health” system is too much influenced by profit orientated interests. We need a public benefit orientated system instead.
Teaching people how to live a more healthy and happy life will improve their health, and we would not need more consultants, doctors, nurses and carers. Prevention is better than any treatment.
In 2012 the largest and most detailed study into hospital deaths ever performed in the UK revealed, that almost 12,000 patients are dying needlessly in NHS hospitals every year because of basic errors by medical staff in the UK. That’s 1000 deaths / month.

A required policy change is encapsulated in this proposed slogan modification for the National Health Service:
“Get Tested ASAP – Receive Early Treatment – Save your Life”
to replace the official slogan “Stay Home – Protect the NHS – Save Lives”.

Here is a more Radical Self Care‘ video by Kelly Brogan, showing

  • Why self-care is the most radical form of activism
  • Why healing the body puts us on a spiritual path
  • The core belief that leads to a medical-free life
  • Why it’s never been more important to become your own healer

A study in June 2020 found Five million drug errors kill or seriously harm Britons every year. with a yearly death toll between 1700 and 22,000.
The drugs most likely to cause harm include the NSAIDs, clot-busters or antiplatelet drugs, anti-epilepsy medication, diabetes drugs to lower blood glucose levels, water tablets (diuretics), inhaled corticosteroids and some heart drugs, such as beta blockers.

Antibiotics, killing or preventing the growth of microorganisms, are still routinely administered and prescribed to tackle bacterial inflammation, causing many side effects resulting in breeding super resistant bugs.
Antibiotics are also associated with obesity and kill the “good” bacteria we need in out gut, wiping out the well balanced eco system in the gut, leaving the patient’s immune system severely damaged for the future.
Why are vitamin C and D not on the NICE list, and NHS staff not allowed to administer them?
The universities where doctors are trained need to be reformed, and the governemt’s health policies need to be completely overhauled. Some examples:

  • Traditional treatments and alternative treatments should be allowed and available if they have a record of success, especially if they are cost efficient.
  • Each hospital should get a nutritional expert, advising wards and catering, and updating doctors and nurses on how food can support recovery.
  • Advertisements for foods which are unhealthy could be subject to a 10% health tax, increasing each year by 10%
  • The practice of vaccinations should be reviewed by an independent panel with the aim to minimise risks and side effects.

Vaccination & Immune System

updated: 22 Feb 2021
HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#vaccines

Vaccination is advertised as protecting us from diseases by acivating an immune system response through the creation of antibodies. It interferes with the immune system by increasing immunity against a short term disease on the expenses of a slight reduced immunity to other diseases. Nearly all studies are directly or indirectly financed by the pharmaceutical industry, and the development and testing of vaccines are exempted from the gold standard of other drugs, so it is difficult to find unbiased data.

Vaccines force the immune system to go into inflammatory response but not in the proper manner – so the inflammatory response can remain unabated – confusing the immune system and making the person much more susceptible to other strains and other diseases. Vaccines dysregulate the immune system and weaken it to varying degrees. They can also interfere with our ability to mount an appropriate immune response and they can make us more susceptible to other strains and types of diseases – a phenomenon called virus interference” [source]

On 22 November 2020 an extremely rare study comparing vaccinated with unvaccinated children was published by “The Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge” (IPAK), a not-for-profit organization which exists to perform scientific research in the public interest, funded by people.
Read about it HERE and HERE.
Title:
Relative Incidence of Office Visits and Cumulative Rates
of Billed Diagnoses Along the Axis of Vaccination
by James Lyons-Weiler and Paul Thomas

“We can conclude that … indeed
the vaccinated children appear to be
significantly less healthy than the unvaccinated
.”

Figure 5. Analysis 5. Cumulative office visits in the vaccinated (orange) vs. unvaccinated (blue) patients born into the practice: the clarity of the age-specific differences in the health fates of individuals who are vaccinated (2763) compared to the 561 unvaccinated in patients born into the practice over ten years is most strikingly clear in this comparison of the cumulative numbers of diagnoses in the two patient groups.
The number of office visits for the unvaccinated is adjusted by a sample size multiplier factor (4.9) to the expected value as if the number of unvaccinated in the study was the same as the number of vaccinated. mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674/htm
Table 2) Relative Incidence of Office Visits (RIOV) and Cumulative Rates
of Billed Diagnoses Along the Axis of Vaccination mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674/htm

“Large increases in office visits were found among the vaccinated group in this group of respiratory illnesses. Our quartile representation shows consistent increases in the incidence of office visits for allergy, allergic rhinitis, asthma, sinusitis, and breathing issues with increased vaccine acceptance compared to the unvaccinated group (Figure 4A). In the most vaccinated quartile compared to unvaccinated comparison, the relative risks (and lower CI) of office visits related to these conditions were estimated for asthma (16.01), allergic rhinitis (20.64), sinusitis (11.32), and breathing issues (6.52);”
“Because there were no cases of ADHD in the unvaccinated group, the quartile analysis uses a comparison to the least vaccinated decile to avoid division by zero.”
Figure 4F below:…”families with children with autism may be inclined to opt out of the vaccination program, potentially reflecting a signal of informed choice by families excluding them from the higher vaccinated quartile.”

Figure 4 Relative Incidence of Office Visits (RIOV) axis of vaccination percentile vaccine uptake analysis: incidence of study outcome-related office visits relative to that found in the 2763 variably vaccinated compared to the 561 unvaccinated groups for each percentile of vaccine uptake on the x-axis.
(A) Autoimmune respiratory illnesses; (B) attention deficit/hyperactive disorder and behavioral issues; (C) ear pain, otitis media, and eye disorders; (D) autoimmune conditions of the skin and blood; (E) gastroenteritis, weight/eating disorders, and seizure; and (F) development delays in speech, learning, and social interactions and autism spectrum disorder. mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674/htm

Vaccination appears to have had the largest impact on anemia and respiratory virus infection on the number of office visits

The authors indicate difficulties conducting this study:
“Given negative social pressures and direct threats of undue consequences on individuals who participate in studies that cast any negative light on vaccines or the practice of vaccination, we respect their anonymity”

Like every treatment, vaccination also has risks:

SEOUL (Reuters)Nine people have died after getting flu shots in South Korea in the past week, raising concerns over the vaccine’s safety just as the seasonal inoculation programme is expanded
“Five new deaths were reported on Wednesday alone, but authorities had no plans to suspend the vaccination programme, unless investigations, including post mortems, revealed a link, which preliminary findings had not.” (21 October)

Intellihub writes: “The CDC, by definition, is a private corporation working on behalf of its stakeholders, which include key players in the pharmaceutical and vaccine industries that profit from the spread of disease, not from real prevention and cures.”
“As more and more ‘vaccination’ propaganda appears in the mainstream media, it is crucial that the American people become aware of the outrageous scam the CDC and the medical industrial complex are running,” warns the AntiCorruption Society.

The results showed a positive association between COVID-19 deaths and IVR of people ≥65 years-old [IVR=Influenza Vaccination Rate]. For the 26 European countries considered, the results indicated that COVID-19 DPMI and the COVID-19 CFR were positively and statistically significantly associated with IVR in people ≥65 years-old in 2019 or latest data available.
There is a significant increase in COVID-19 deaths from eastern to western regions in the world. [source]

“For example, for every 10 million individuals vaccinated in the United Kingdom, 21.5 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome and 5.75 sudden deaths were expected to occur as unrelated coincidental events within 6 weeks of vaccination. 34
WHO: VACCINE SAFETY BASICS, page 77

STUDY: Flu Vaccine Raises Risk of COVID Death – Correlation Confirmed by Scientific Analysis (18 December 2020)
Countries with high coverage of influenza vaccination in the elderly had the highest death toll from the coronavirus pandemic… our findings were corroborated by a peer-reviewed scientific analysis.” 
“It is possible that influenza vaccines alter our immune systems non-specifically to increase susceptibility to other infections; this has been observed with DTP and other vaccines.”

Below is a STRONG warning what is likely to happen if people get the flu vaccine AND a second vaccine (like the coronavirus vaccine) in the same season: the deaths rate could rise significantly

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 2flu-vaccines-spike.jpg
Flu vaccine deaths according to the US VAERS spiked in 2010
when a second vaccine against Swine Flu was given.
This is a warning what is likely to happen if people who got the flu shot
will receive an additional vaccine against coronavirus.
This chart was presented by Brian Hooker, CDC whistleblower in an interview

This article discusses previous vaccine safety experiences:

  • People who received the trivalent influenza vaccine during the 2008-2009 flu season were between 1.4 and 2.5 times more likely to get infected with pandemic H1N1 in the spring and summer of 2009 than those who did not get the seasonal flu vaccine
  • A double-blind, placebo-controlled study on ferrets confirmed the results, showing the seasonal influenza vaccine did worsen symptoms after subsequent exposure to the H1N1 virus
  • A 2011 study found the seasonal flu vaccine may weaken children’s immune systems and increase their chances of getting sick from influenza viruses not included in the vaccine
  • In a 2012 study, children receiving inactivated influenza vaccines had a 4.4 times higher relative risk of contracting noninfluenza respiratory virus infections in the nine months following their inoculation
  • A 2020 study found people were 36% more likely to get some form of coronavirus infection if they had been vaccinated against influenza
  • studies have shown that when you get the flu vaccine, you may become more prone to flu caused by influenza viruses that are not contained in the vaccine, or other noninfluenza viral respiratory illnesses, including coronavirus infections
  • Conversely, researchers10,11,12 recently found that common colds caused by the betacoronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 might actually make you more resistant to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and that the resulting immunity might last as long as 17 years.
  • SARS-CoV-2 is one of seven different coronaviruses known to cause respiratory illness in humans.13 Four of them cause symptoms associated with the common cold: 229E, NL63, OC43 and HKU1.
  • In addition to the common cold, OC43 and HKU1 — two of the most commonly encountered betacoronaviruses14 — are also known to cause bronchitis, acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia in all age groups.15 The other three human coronaviruses — which are capable of causing more serious respiratory illness — are SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.

A randomized placebo-controlled trial in children showed that flu shots increased fivefold the risk of acute respiratory infections caused by a group of non-influenza viruses, including coronaviruses. … it is possible that influenza vaccines alter our immune systems non-specifically to increase susceptibility to other infections; this has been observed with DTP and other vaccines.

A systematic review32 by the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews found that to prevent one case of influenza-like illness (defined33 by the World Health Organization as an acute respiratory infection), the NNT [number needed to treat] for inactivated vaccines was 40. To prevent a single case of confirmed influenza, the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) was 71. [source]

Another study Influenza vaccination and respiratory virus interference among Department of Defense personnel found:
“Examining non-influenza viruses specifically, the odds of both coronavirus and human metapneumovirus in vaccinated individuals were significantly higher when compared to unvaccinated individuals (OR = 1.36 and 1.51, respectively) (Table 5).
Conversely, all other non-influenza respiratory viruses had decreased odds in the vaccinated population”
[ ]

“Over 200 viruses cause influenza and influenza-like illness which produce the same symptoms (fever, headache, aches and pains, cough and runny noses). Without laboratory tests, doctors cannot tell the two illnesses apart. Both last for days and rarely lead to death or serious illness. At best, vaccines might be effective against only Influenza A and B, which represent about 10% of all circulating viruses.” [Source: Cochrane Summaries].
We can expect EXACTLY the same for coronaviruses: covid-19 will have mutated into around 200 strands after one year (read more in the next chapter) – and then there are also the usual yearly coronaviruses, each with mutations…

The fact checker website fullfact.org wants to debunk the claim: the “flu kills more people than covid-19”, revealing interesting details:
“If we look at the underlying cause of death data for 2019, we can see that 1,213 people died specifically from flu, which is just 4.6% of the 26,342 who died from either influenza or pneumonia.”
That means: 95.4% in the “influenza / pneumonia” category died from pneumonia – or:
for each flu death, 19 people die of pneumonia.
So a pneumonia vaccine would make MUCH more sense than any flu vaccine.“the ONS reports the number of “deaths involving COVID-19”, which means the number of death certificates that mention Covid-19 somewhere, whether or not it was the underlying cause.
Pneumonia is usually caused by a bacterial infection, but it can also be caused by a virus such as flu or the one that causes Covid-19… many people who die with Covid-19 have pneumonia as well, so the ONS explains that “deaths where both were mentioned have been counted only in the COVID-19 category”.
More interesting information about how fact checkers manipulate data is in the Covid-19 Statistics article in “We’ve Got It All Wrong…

The US Department of Justice issues a report on vaccine injuries and deaths every quarter. In 2015, there were 211 severe cases for the 3 month period from 5/16/2015. 86 of the settlements were listed in this report, 65 of the 86 settlements were for injuries and deaths due to the flu shot; the majority of flu shot injuries were for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).
Here is a short video debunking the flu shot narrative.

First published in April 2015. The H1N1 vaccine fiasco ordered by the (corrupt) WHO Director General is of relevance to the current debate on a COVID-19 vaccine.

GlobalResearch reports on 20 April 2015:
“The 2009 swine flu vaccine caused severe brain damage in over 800 children across Europe, and the UK government has now agreed to pay $90 million in compensation to those victims as part of a vaccine injury settlement.This is the same swine flu vaccine that the entire mainstream media ridiculously insists never causes any harm whatsoever”
“The vaccine caused narcolepsy and cataplexy in hundreds of children. Both are signs of neurological damage caused by vaccine additives which include mercury, aluminum, MSG, antibiotics and even formaldehyde.”
in 2009, the Norwegian health authorities urged everyone, not just at-risk groups, to receive vaccinations after the World Health Organization designated swine flu a pandemic.
“Norway has seen more than 170 reported cases of children developing narcolepsy after receiving the Pandemrix vaccine,” reports the Global Post. “The government has so far paid $13 million to 86 victims, including 60 children…”
“those children who are damaged by vaccines end up being big profit centers for the same pharmaceutical companies that damaged them in the first place.”

Please read more in the next chapter: “Covid-19 Vaccine?

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) about vaccination:
“In the future, we will eliminate the soul with medicine. Under the pretext of a ‘healthy point of view’, there will be a vaccine by which the human body will be treated as soon as possible directly at birth, so that the human being cannot develop the thought of the existence of soul and Spirit.
To materialistic doctors, will be entrusted the task of removing the soul of humanity. As today, people are vaccinated against this disease or that disease, so in the future, children will be vaccinated with a substance that can be produced precisely in such a way that people, thanks to this vaccination, will be immune to being subjected to the “madness” of spiritual life. He would be extremely smart, but he would not develop a conscience, and that is the true goal of some materialistic circles.
With such a vaccine, you can easily make the etheric body loose in the physical body. Once the etheric body is detached, the relationship between the universe and the etheric body would become extremely unstable, and man would become an automaton, for the physical body of man must be polished on this Earth by spiritual will. So, the vaccine becomes a kind of arymanique force; man can no longer get rid of a given materialistic feeling. He becomes materialistic of constitution and can no longer rise to the spiritual”

The above quote is from the Rudolf Steiner lecture series “Fall of the spirits of Darkness” “Changes in Humanity’s Make-up”  (Lecture 5), archives GA177

Coronavirus Vaccine?

https://healthtruth.info/we-need-to-focus- n-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#covid-vaccine – updated: 5 February 2021

Is the new mRNA gene therapy technology used in Covid-19 vaccines safe? mRNA vaccines have never been licensed before.
RNA is the only molecule known to recapitulate all biochemical functions of life: definition, control, and transmission of genetic information. Since the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-1) outbreak in 2002 there have been numerous coronavirus vaccine animal studies conducted: either the animals were not completely protected, became severely ill with accelerated autoimmune conditions, or died, primarily attributed to what is called Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE).
The SARS-CoV-2 virus (which can cause covid-19 symptoms) is from the same cronavirus family as SARS-1.
Experimental vaccines for SARS, MERS, HIV, and other diseases have not been proven effective and safe for humans.

mRNA vaccines are coated with PEGylated lipid nanoparticles (polyethylene glycol). This coating hides the mRNA from our immune system which ordinarily would attack and destroy kill any foreign material. PEGylated lipid nanoparticles have been shown to imbalance certain immune responses and can induce allergies and even autoimmune diseases.
Neither Pfizer/BioNTech nor Moderna have ‘completely’ disclosed everything in their vaccines.
Normally a vaccines would need to be tested AT LEAST five years.
Fast-track policy is a recipe for mass disaster.
Vaccine manufacturers unlimited freedom to create, develop, and market vaccines without any liability.

The daily % increase of Health Impact Events in the table below is concerning: 0.44%, 0.82%, 1.34%, 2.17%, 2.79%

Why no Conspiracies here?

HealthTruth.info/we-need-to-focus-on-the-immune-system-in-the-next-virus-season/#why

When your house is on fire, you don’t call the police to investigate, but the fire brigade to extinguish the fire, evacuate the building to save lives and prevent further damage.
If the fire is a burning deep frying oil pan, do NOT pour water on it, as it will make it worse, but suffocate it with a fire blanket!
Investigating “what caused the fire?” or “who started the fire?” or “who paid the one starting the fire?” (conspiracy theories) need to wait until the fire is extinguished.

The same applies to the coronavirus “pandemic”: we first need to make sure we use the correct treatments and procedures to ensure the situation will not get worse (like using ventilators or lockdown).
How the virus came into existence and who is behind it will surface in due course, and any misconduct will hopefully be dealt with by proper investigations and courtss after we have dealt with the virus – and the virus “cure”: politics.

Inform and empower yourself; “knowledge is power”, research INDEPENDENT science, and check any government advisers [& any research institute, newspaper or TV station] for bias, for example on Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Did We Get It All Wrong Fighting The Virus?

last updated: 27 May 2021

We focussed too much on the novel coronavirus
and lost sight of everything else.
Being obsessed about avoiding death,
we lose our lives
.

“In the last year I have realized that my government and its advisers are lying in the faces of the British people about everything to do with this coronavirus. Absolutely everything.” [Dr Mike Yeadon, 11 Apr 2021]

CLARIFICATION:
SARS-COV-2 is a virus many of us carry without any symptoms.
Covid-19 is a respiratory disease caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus
REMINDER:
the problem was NOT the coronavirus,
but a human immune system not functioning properly
.

Why Did We Think We Need To Stop The Virus?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#why-did-we-think updated: 4 April 2021

According to the latest immunological studies, the overall lethality of Covid-19 (IFR) is about 0.1% to 0.3% and thus in the range of a severe influenza (flu). In most places, the risk of death for the general population of school and working age is in the range of a daily car ride to work.
Up to 80% of all test-positive persons remain symptom-free.
Even among 70-79 year olds, about 60% remain symptom-free.
About 95% of all people develop at most moderate symptoms.

UK summary R number, covid positive tests, deaths, hospitalisations and PCR testing on 3 April 2021: EVERYTHING is going down and clearly past the peak.
Screenshot from https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

UK 25 March 2021: The “R” number is BELOW 1 – still falling.
Positive pcr test results: 0.3% of all tests
Daily deaths (WITH & after covid): DOWN 30%. The curve is CLEARLY past the peak.
Patients admitted: DOWN 20%, curve is CLEARLY past the peak.
EVERYTHING is clear, no virus threat any more –
only the virus testing went mad: 1.8 mio tests a day.

The Mail Online published statistics and facts on 20 November (updated 23 Nov) CLEARLY showing that there is nothing to justify a lockdown.

https://youtu.be/E0Z2rfsUbBs
Here is a critical analysis by Ivor Cummins, showing how the government advisers
got their predictions massively wrong again in Oct. 2020: youtu.be/E0Z2rfsUbBs
this screenshot (from the video above) shows how far from reality the “scare” modelling predictions have been, which were used to convince the UK government to vote for a second lockdon in 2020

All infectious diseases in 2020 have SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED
in the UK (see chapter Covid deaths & Statistics below)

COVID-19 Study of Almost Ten Million Finds No Evidence of Asymptomatic Spread” [20 December]
Not a single transmission of Coronavirus from a person without symptoms. The research paper also indicates that “virulence of SARS-CoV-2 virus may be weakening over time“.
“If asymptomatic transmission is not happening,… then all of the current lock-down regulations, mask wearing requirements and social distancing rules/decrees are based on a complete fallacy of false assumptions.”

Covid infection shown to provide as much immunity as vaccines [Financial Times, 14 January 2021]
People who have already contracted coronavirus are as protected against reinfection as those who have received the best Covid-19 vaccines, according to a survey of 20,000 UK healthcare workers, the largest study in the world so far. Public Health England regularly tested two matched groups of volunteers between June and November — 6,000 health workers who had previously been infected with coronavirus and 14,000 who had not.
A comparison of infections in the two groups, described in preliminary results released on Thursday, found that prior infection provided at least 83 per cent protection against reinfection. It gave better than 94 per cent protection against symptomatic Covid-19, matching the figures for the most effective Covid-19 vaccines.
Natural infection looks as good as a vaccine, which is very good news for the population” Susan Hopkins, PHE senior medical adviser said.
People who had recovered from Covid-19 were less likely to transmit the virus to others unknowingly, because natural infection appeared to provide about 75 per cent protection against asymptomatic reinfection.
Eleanor Riley, professor of virology at the University of Edinburgh, said: “If you believe you already had the disease and are protected, you can be reassured it is highly unlikely you will develop severe infection”

Dr. Mike Yeadon wrote “What SAGE Got Wrong” [21 October]

diagram from Lockdownsceptics article What SAGE got wrong

Dr. Tom Cowan discovered an astonishing research article by the CDC by a group of about 20 virologists from June 2020. He published his analysis of this article on sott.net on 15 October:
“the virologists found that solutions containing SARS-CoV-2 — even in high amounts — were NOT infective to any of the three human tissue cultures they tested. In plain English, this means they proved, on their terms, that this “new coronavirus” is not infectious to human beings.”
“These virologists, published by the CDC, performed a clear proof, on their terms, showing that the SARS-CoV- 2 virus is harmless to human beings. That is the only possible conclusion, but, unfortunately, this result is not even mentioned in their conclusion.

20 virologists find that the SARS-CoV- 2 virus
is harmless to human beings [more above]

Humans have evolved with viruses and we have more viruses in us than body cells. The dance between our immune system and the virus usually ends with our immune system learning a new skill, getting more resilient and long term protection – and the virus is retreating and mutating.
Farr’s Law of Epidemics states that epidemics tend to rise and fall in a roughly symmetrical pattern or bell-shaped curve.
“Expansion begins exponentially but fades quickly after about eight weeks,” Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel

Sweden model versus reality
Wrong scary predictions by the Imperial College London versus reality.
Sweden fared well without locking down.


Prof. Ferguson predicted 8 million in hospital and 500 000 deaths for the UK due to coronavirus. Why did our government trust that scientist who used his 13 year old catastrophic model again, which paved the way to the Coronavirus Bill and the 2020 lockdown?

Here is a very good video, explaininng Science, Logic and Data from September 2020.

Prof. Neil Ferguson,
Imperial College London

Neil Ferguson, mathematical biology professor at Imperial College London, has a track record of wrong pred. ictions. His 2001 model of mad cow disease predicted fatalities up to 150,000 deaths in England, when in fact only 177 people died until 2020 1, but 6 million cows and sheep were culled.

2005 he said: up to 200 million people could be killed by the bird flu Reality check: less than 200 died.

Dr. Paul Offit, one of the leading proponents of vaccination (the man who infamously stated that babies can safely receive 100,000 vaccines at once) posted a statement on his Facebook page regarding this matter.
His message is calm, rational, and reasonable:
Which will do more harm, the virus or the fear of the virus? Why are we so scared of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19? People are usually scared of viruses for three reasons:
One: the virus causes gruesome, disfiguring, permanent symptoms. Smallpox, for example, not only caused life-long facial scarring, it also was a frequent cause of blindness in those who survived.
Two: the virus has a predilection for children. Polio paralyzed tens of thousands of young children every year until a vaccine finally eliminated the disease from the United States.
Three: the virus is likely to kill you. Rabies kills virtually 100 percent of people who develop symptoms after a bite from a rabid animal.
The novel coronavirus currently circulating in the United States–the one that has caused us to shut down schools, restaurants, sporting events, and virtually every aspect of our culture–falls into none of these categories.

The WORLD DOCTORS ALLIANCE wrote an “Open letter to governments and citizens of the world” with regularly updated information and a coherent summing up of the covid situation.

Coronaviruses Are Seasonal

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#seasonal
updated 14 March 2021

Good News: the covid-19 epidemic is OVER! As every winter and as predicted by independent science, the winter peak of deaths and cases is CLEARLY over. So WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

positive test cases UK March 2020 - March 2021
UK positive pcr test results (“cases“) show the winter peak is OVER. [gov.uk]

Keep in mind, the diagrams above and below are based on the controversial PCR test and include an unknown amount of false positives.
The UK deaths below include all deaths within 28 days of a positive pcr test result, regardless of the cause of death.
None of these diagrams show covid-19 infections.

covid deaths UK March 2020 to March 2021
UK deaths within 28 days of a positive pcr test result show the winter peak is OVER. [gov.uk]

Coronaviruses are seasonal just like the flu, peaking January to March in the northern hemisphere [see “Human coronavirus circulation in the United States 2014-2017” and the Glasgow study 2005-2013.
Viruses stay a few weeks before they mutate and disappear and natural herd immunity is achieved.
Covid-19 may be new, but it is still part of the coronavirus family.

4 human coronaviruses over 4 years in 4 US locations
from “Human coronavirus circulation in the United States 2014-2017

So you can relax and stop worrying: coronaviruses are not more dangerous than the flu: the infection rate and mortality are about the same or less. And by now we know how to treat coronavirus.
Here is a good video, explaininng Science, Logic and Data.

Coronaviruses mutate fast. SARS-CoV-2 lineages tracing in over 80 countries shows, that after six months the original Wuhan virus has mutated into 100 lines and gets less virulent. According to Johannes Kreis, the original virus has disappeared by now.

Different seasons for different viruses – see table on the right.
Seasonal variations in frequency of selected upper respiratory tract infection pathogens.
PIV = parainfluenza virus; RSV = respiratory syncytial virus; MPV = metapneumovirus; Group A Strept = group A streptococcus.

Another study in Glasgow / UK over a period of nine years found a similar pattern of coronaviruses peaking from January to March

“We analyzed diagnostic data from 44,230 cases of respiratory illness that were tested for 11 taxonomically broad groups of respiratory viruses over 9 y… including CoV = human coronaviruses (229E, NL63, HKU1)”

The three known groups of coronavirus are associated with a variety of diseases of humans and domestic animals (for example, cattle, pigs, cats, dogs, rodents, and birds), including gastroenteritis and upper and lower respiratory tract disease. Known coronaviruses include human Coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E), canine coronavirus (CCoV), feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43), bovine coronavirus (BCoV), porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (HEV), rat sialodacryoadenitis virus (SDAV), mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), turkey coronavirus (TCoV), and avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV-Avian)

Ventilators: Wrong and Deadly?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#ventilators

Did we need more ventilators to treat covid patients?
The UK government was repeating the slogan “we need more ventilators!” and rush-ordered them. The medical and research community should have known what was killing people with SARS in 2003. It wasn’t viral pneumonia. It was their own immune systems in overdrive in a so-called “cytokine storm” that can be more deadly than the virus itself. [source ]

A study published in JAMA April 22 describing the outcomes for 5,700 patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in the New York City area reported:

Mortality rates for those who received mechanical ventilation
in the 18-to-65 and older-than-65 age groups were 76.4% and 97.2%, respectively.
Mortality rates for those in the 18-to-65 and older-than-65 age groups who did not receive mechanical ventilation were 19.8% and 26.6%, respectively. There were no deaths in the younger-than-18 age group.”

https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/05/06/adverse-effects-of-mechanical-ventilation.aspx

Mortality rate for those who received mechanical ventilation in the older-than-65 age group was 97.2%”
For those NOT receiving mechanical ventilation: 26.6%
Covid patients are four times more likely to
SURVIVE WITHOUT a ventilator

The cytokine storm needs to be addressed. Not the virus.
Yet all the focus was on anti-viral medications that would do nothing to address the immune system dysfunction.
Neither the “Health” Ministry, not the media were telling the public anything about the immune system – it was all about “the virus” and “there is no treatment” and “only a vaccine can help”; none of this is true.

By March 2020, we had evidence, that high doses of Vitamin C could help coronavirus patients in Wuhan and Shanghai [see also http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n14.shtml and HERE

Lockdown Loneliness & Isolation

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#loneliness
updated 19 January 2021

“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or other physical impairment” [WHO constitution, 1948]

“Social relationships, or the relative lack thereof, constitute a major risk factor for health—rivaling the effect of well established health risk factors such as cigarette smoking, blood pressure, blood lipids, obesity and physical activity”
“social relationships influence the health outcomes of adults and should take social relationships as seriously as other risk factors that affect mortality, the researchers conclude.”
[Social Relationships and Mortality Risk: A Meta-analytic Review]

There is robust evidence that social isolation and loneliness significantly increase risk for premature mortality, and the magnitude of the risk exceeds that of many leading health indicators,”
“Loneliness and social isolation are twice as harmful to physical and mental health as obesity”

Loneliness contributes to higher rates of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, infection, anxiety, depression, insomnia, addiction and suicide.
Isolating old people from their friends, families, children and grand children is heartless and cruel. No soldier in combat will be left alone to die by his comrades – but we let our old people die without their loved ones around.

Anxiety from reactions to COVID-19 will destroy at least seven times more years of life than can be saved by lockdowns.
The study, conducted by Just Facts, computed based on a broad array of scientific data that stress is one of the deadliest health hazards in the world, and stay-at-home orders, business shutdowns, media frenzy, as well as legitimate concerns about the virus can ultimately cost more lives than lockdowns can save.
“By choosing to lockdown, policymakers are choosing the greater of two evils, not the lesser.”

The result: two weeks after lockdown and “stay at home” orders,
the non-covid deaths at home have increased significantly

“Frequent in-person connections were associated with lower depression and loneliness; frequent remote connections were not. Conclusions: Depression and loneliness were elevated during the early US COVID-19 response. Those who maintained frequent in-person, but not remote, social and sexual connections had better mental health outcomes.” [US lockdown study April 2020]

Study “Social regulation of gene expression in human leukocytes“These data provide the first indication that human genome-wide transcriptional activity is altered in association with a social epidemiological risk factor.
Impaired transcription of glucocorticoid response genes and increased activity of pro-inflammatory transcription control pathways provide a functional genomic explanation for elevated risk of inflammatory disease in individuals who experience chronically high levels of subjective social isolation.”
“High subjective social isolation is associated with a statistically significant net reduction in the number of expressed genes (131 down-regulated versus 78 up-regulated, p value by exact binomial test).”

Lockdown prevents the development
of population immunity, prolonging the problem.
It is a rigid overreaction of the political system,
just like the cytokine storm of the immune system.

Report 10 Sept: COVID-19 Pandemic Has Decimated Mental Health
53% of American adults said their mental health “has been negatively impacted due to worry and stress over the coronavirus”
40.9% of respondents reported anxiety, depression or symptoms of trauma- and stressor-related disorder relating to the pandemic.
36% report having trouble sleeping, 32% have trouble eating, 12% report increased alcohol consumption and/or substance use and 12% report worsening of chronic health conditions due to worry and stress.
13.3% of American adults reported new or increased substance use as a way to manage stress, and 10.7% of adults said they’d seriously contemplated suicide in the past 30 days.
Unpaid caregivers for adults had the highest rate of suicidal ideation at 30.7%, followed by young adults, age 18 to 24 (25.5%) and essential workers (21.7%)
Those faring the worst are people sheltering in place, 47% of whom report negative health effects, compared to 37% of those not sheltering in place.
“More than 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. have reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder during the pandemic (weekly average for May: 34.5%; weekly average for June: 36.5%; weekly average for July: 40.1%).” For comparison, from January to June 2019, the rate of anxiety or depressive disorder was 11%.
The week of April 20, which, looking back, coincided with the peak of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S., suicides exceeded COVID-19 deaths in Tennessee.

A new peer reviewed study by Stanford researchers has found that mandatory lockdowns do not provide more benefits to stopping the spread of COVID-19 than voluntary measures such as social distancing.
The study compared countries that had imposed mandatory lockdowns, such as England, France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the U.S., to those that had relied on the public to follow voluntary measures, such as Sweden and South Korea. The authors insisted that stay at home orders and business closures had no additional impacting on lowering the spread of the virus. [article source]

Staying at home, using zoom and ordering on-line orders is an unhealthy form of torture
These government instructions led to an increase of time spent in front of computer and TV screens, including for children. This has a negative effect on healthy sleep, eye sight and healthy child development.
The increased exposure to mass media manipulation increases fear and stress, reduces creativity and phantasy, resulting in apathy.
“no hope, no future” – passive giving up people feeling victimised…
We are coaxed to turn into “zoombies”.

On top of the negative screen impact on health, this cyber time is lost for a REAL experience of nature and other people.
On-line shopping has skyrocket, and amazon and other big tax dodging companies’ make enormous profits – while the local High Streets and small business are facing a financial abyss.

Lockdown Deaths

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#lockdown-deaths

The lockdown was imposed to save lives dying from covid-19 when the virus was already retreating.and the alleged infection rates were already dropping.

Suicides due to lockdown loneliness are mentioned in the chapter ‘Lockdown Isolation & Loneliness’ above.
The majority of “covid deaths” were actually “lockdown deaths”
a shocking analysis Lockdown Deaths, Not Covid Deaths by the UK Column revealed on 14 July.

The UK’s largest domestic abuse charity, Refuge, has reported a 700% increase in calls to its helpline in a single day

Bypassers prevented this man from jumping off a bridge to his death by holding and hugging him.

“government actions such as border closures, full lockdowns, and a high rate of COVID-19 testing were not associated with statistically significant reductions in the number of critical cases or overall mortality.”
[A country level analysis , published in The Lancet on 21 July]

“The lockdown regime was detrimental to the health of the very demographic it was supposedly designed to ‘keep safe.”
Whether by design or criminal neglect, lockdown policy has actively targeted the most vulnerable, singling them out for unusual and cruel treatment. Premature mortality is the inevitable and obvious result.”

We know that it is likely that SARS-CoV-2 had already spread around the world before any lockdowns were initiated. We also know that the virus lay virtually dormant and only decided to cause statistically significant mortality after the lockdowns began. Once the WHO identified the “novel” virus and declared a global pandemic, it was the ensuing Lockdown regimes which prompted unseasonable spikes in mortality.
The lockdown regime was detrimental to the health of the very demographic it was supposedly designed to “keep safe.”
The vast majority of those claimed coronavirus deaths were not related to COVID-19. We have clear evidence that the Lockdown regime has caused, and will continue to cause, ill health and death.

[from Lockdown Deaths, Not Covid Deaths | UK Column]

Statistics world wide show a precise and exact correlation between the start of lockdowns and significant rises in overall mortality
If health authorities vastly underestimated the prevalence of the virus at the beginning of the pandemic, why did the virus nevertheless wait until lockdowns were imposed to suddenly start killing at levels which exceeded normal deaths?

Registered deaths in England and Wales have currently fallen below the five-year average for the last five weeks.
Over this same period there have been over 700 excess deaths per week, or 3,799 fatalities in total, occurring at home. only 179 of those deaths have Covid-19 mentioned on their certificate.
This represents a huge number of unexplained – and potentially avoidable deaths – particularly if they represent individuals deterred from visiting hospitals.’ 3,799 is almost 50 per cent higher than the number of people who have sadly lost their lives (2,582) to coronavirus in any setting over the same period.
This suggests that it is possible that more people are dying from direct or indirect effects of Covid-19 prevention rather than the virus itself. Dr Waqar Rashid in the Spectator, 30 July 2020

“Extra 10,000 dementia deaths in England and Wales in April amid reduced medical care and family visits” repots The Guardian; “There were 83% more deaths from dementia than usual in April… a reduction in essential medical care and family visits were taking a devastating toll.”
The British Medical Journal reports 20 000 unexplained deaths in senior care facilities of elderly people in the UK in April and May, ON TOP OF the 10 000 deaths labelled with coronavirus.
Clearly, the aim to “protect the vulnerable and over 70s” was not achieved.

“As national restrictions were imposed, experts from the Department of Health, the Office of National Statistics (ONS), the government’s Actuary Department and the Home Office forecast the collateral damage from delays to healthcare and the effects of recession arising from the pandemic response.
It estimated that in a reasonable worst case scenario, around 50,000 people would die from coronavirus in the first six months of the pandemic, with mitigation measures in place.
The report published in April calculated that up to 25,000 could die from delays to treatment in the same period and a further 185,000 in the medium to long term – amounting to nearly one million years of life lost.” From Telegraph.co.uk 19 July and 20 July on Metro.co.uk

At the peak of COVID-19,
suicides exceeded COVID-19 deaths
in Tennessee / US
10.7% of US adults said they’d seriously contemplated suicide (July 2020)

Covid deaths Sweden versus England
England had 50% more deaths / million inhabitants with lockdown
than Sweden (without lockdown)

Dr. Kendrick in an interview: “I have looked at the impact of social upheaval in the post-Soviet Union countries in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Russia had five million excess deaths in that period due to economic problems. That is how powerful the effects can be. We are going to see the downsides of lockdown policies around the world.
South Africa is already bursting at the seams. We have to look at this with a global perspective. This is going to be extremely costly and destructive of huge sections of the population.

Hospitals became essentially ‘covid only’ centres vast numbers of patients were wilfully neglected, resulting in many thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Staying home leads to “sunshine” vitamin D deficiency,
increasing chances of getting asthma & wheezing, influenza, tuberculosis, depression, schizophrenia, high blood pressure & coronary heart disease, type 1 diabetes, osteoporosis, rickets, muscle weakness & aches, Crohn’s Disease, multiple Sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.
The UK government caused avoidable illness and deaths by instructing people to stay home.

Conclusion of the German Interior Ministry Crisis Management KM4

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#KM4

“It’s classified content shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that in fact the population was deliberately driven to panic by politicians and mainstream media.” [Dr. Reiner Fuellmich in ‘Crimes against Humanity‘]

“False Alarm” (7 May 2020)

  1. The information about the dangers is incomplete and only deal with a narrow segment of the danger’s complexity. Without a proper assessment of the situation, appropriate measures cannot be efficient. Politicians had little chance to make appropriate decisions
  2. There is no evidence that this is more than a false alarm. There has been no increased danger for the population. Most people dying would have died anyway later this year. The danger of Covid-19 has been exaggerated. It is likely we have a global false alarm situation. This conclusion was checked by KM4 and is in alliance with the data provided by RKI [Robert Koch Institut].
  3. The crisis management did not have tools to stop and revoke the state of emergency when it became clear, that the damage of the emergency procedures would be bigger than their benefit.
  4. The collective damage is already higher than the benefit, which is reflected in the casualties outnumbering the virus deaths
  5. The damage caused by the corona crisis for the whole society is already gigantic; most of it will show in the near and far future; we cannot stop it any more, but may be able to limit it.
  6. The resilience of complex and interdependent essential infrastructures of our society has deteriorated, leaving our society more vulnerable to future crises.
  7. The state implemented protection measures have lost any sense by now, but are still in place, and should be lifted ASAP to prevent additional deaths and to stabilise the complex interdependent critical infrastructures.
  8. The incompetence and mistakes of the crisis management with inconsistent and contradicting information have caused a disinformation of the population, and might be perceived as not trustworthy.

3. The crisis management did not have tools to stop and revoke the state of emergency
when it became clear, that the damage
of the emergency procedures
would be bigger than their benefit.

[the above text is a shortened translated summary of the German summary of the crisis analysis] – here is an article in English.
The analysis results were too embarrassing for the government – it needed a whistleblower to publish it. The 93 page German original is here.
The situation in Britain is very similar to the findings of this analysis.

Professor Haditsch, Austria, said the following on 20 June
at the ACU (Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee):

“It should also become visible for all,

  • that the German health care system has never even been close to running the risk of decompensating, i.e. being overburdened;
  • that measurement figures, such as the doubling rate and this dreadful number “R 0”, had the primary purpose of creating fear and putting pressure on the population, and were communicated in an incomplete and manipulative way for lack of reference to the number of tests carried out;
  • that false and untrustworthy fatality figures have been misused for intimidation purposes;
  • that the number of cases was already significantly declining well before the lockdown;
  • that a general mask-wearing obligation ordered 4 weeks later, I repeat 4 weeks later, was factually unfounded, unlawful and psycho-socially irresponsible;
  • that the incorrigible sticking to measures and already refuted statements, i.e. against better knowledge and proven evidence, is a criminal offence in this context; and
  • that ultimately a drastic change in the party-political decision-making structures is overdue because this is the only way to reliably prevent this anti-democratic approach from being continued or repeated.”

PCR Test for “Cases”?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#pcr
updated: 7 February 2021

Polymearase Chain Reaction (PCR) test – OVERVIEW:
The pcr tests for fragments of the SARS-COV-2 virus,
NOT for the Covid-19 disease.

Healthy people testing “positive” are not “cases”. A medical “case” has to be ill
or show symptoms needing hospital admission.
To get 100% confirmed real positives, the PCR test must be run at no more than 17 amplification cycles.
Patients cannot be contagious above 25 cycles.
The maximum reasonably reliable Ct value is 30 cycles.
Above 35 cycles, 97% false positives can be expected.
The UK NHS is using up to 45 amplification cycles.
In an independent peer review, 22 international scientists found ten fatal problems with the Corman-Drosten paper the PCR test is based on.
The PCR test is useless as a specific diagnostic tool

The chance of detecting a positive culture using the PCR test after 34 or more amplifications is near zero

The R Number

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#testing-R

Wikipedia writes: In epidemiology, the basic reproduction number, or basic reproductive number (sometimes called basic reproduction ratio or basic reproductive rate), denoted R_{0} (pronounced R nought or R zero),[20] of an infection can be thought of as the expected number of cases directly generated by one case in a population where all individuals are susceptible to infection.[17]

…not to be confused with the effective reproduction number R R (usually written R_{t} [t for time], sometimes R e R_e),[22] which is the number of cases generated in the current state of a population, which does not have to be the uninfected state.

R_{0} is not a biological constant for a pathogen as it is also affected by other factors such as environmental conditions and the behaviour of the infected population.

R_{0} values are usually estimated from mathematical models, and the estimated values are dependent on the model used and values of other parameters. … it is recommended not to use obsolete values or compare values based on different models.[25]
R_{0} does not by itself give an estimate of how fast an infection spreads in the population. [end of Wikipedia quote]

A major problem with the R number (or: R value) is, that models are based on homogeneous population behaviour and mixing.
In reality some people mix and meet others a lot, while others stay home alone.
See the SIR model in the chapter “Herd Immunity threshold HIT” in the next article “We Need To Focus On The Immune System…

“The ‘R value’ is not a strong enough number to bear the burden of any Government policy.”

“‘R‘ is an artificial figure calculated using mathematical models which have repeatedly been found to reach wrong-headed conclusions.”
[Dr. John Lee]

Researchers at the South Korean centre for disease control and prevention (CDC) say, that natural immunity is gained after infection with Covid-19.

‘Contact Track & Trace’: Dangerous and Unlawful

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#track-trace

The government keeps repeating the message “We need the Track & Trace app to prevent the virus spread”. Apart from SERIOUS doubts about the data security as well as the reliance of such a system, this is a typical “focus on the symptoms” approach (even when there are no symptoms!), not addressing the problem:
The virus is not the problem, but the immune system.

If you’re told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace
or the NHS COVID-19 app

“Self-isolate for 14 days
from the day you were last in contact with
the person who tested positive for coronavirus
“Do not have visitors in your home,
including friends and family”

• The ‘Track & Trace’ is based on the PCR test identifying people who test ‘positive’ as well as those whom they met in the last days (including contacts too short to cause any infection).
The UK government has repeatedly wasted money by outsourcing contracts to incompetent businesses, ordering unsuitable (ventilators) or not fit for purpuse (tests, face masks, PPE) goods in huge quantities.

Remember: the “Track & Trace” is based on unsuitable PCR test results

A WHO study on influenza pandemics in 2019 came to the conclusion that contact tracing is not useful from an epidemiological point of view. The WHO recommends (page 22):
Active contact tracing is not recommended in general because there is no obvious rationale for it in most Member States. This intervention could be considered in some locations and circumstances to collect information on the characteristics of the disease and to identify cases, or to delay widespread transmission in the very early stages of a pandemic in isolated communities.”
We are neither in a very early stage, nor in an isolated community.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is test-trace-unlawful.jpg
Sky News reports on 20 July: “The UK government has admitted its contact tracing programme is unlawful in a legal letter which confirms it has been running in breach of data protection laws since it was launched in May”.

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden warned as early as March that governments could use the corona crisis as an occasion or pretext for expanding global surveillance and control, thus creating an “architecture of oppression”.
A whistleblower who had taken part in a training program for contact tracers in the US described it as “totalitarian” and a “danger to society”.

The failing contact tracing system should be stripped from outsourcing firms to save lives and avoid another national lockdown. The Labour Party has joined demands from local leaders and scientists to scrap a contract with privateers Serco.
Labour said it is “ineffective and not fit for purpose”.Campaigners demand the £300 million cost of renewing the contract on August 23 be diverted to boost existing local public health teams. Mirror from 10 August

Privatised Failure The Conservatives Sidelined Public Health for the Market. by Molly Scott Cato, MEP, 5 June 2020
testing contracts have gone to a string of corporations with little or no medical expertise: Deloitte, Boots, Serco, G4S, Mitie, Levy and Sodexco. Together, they have appointed more than 5,000 staff overseeing testing at 50 regional test centres. These sites are being managed by one person qualified only as a first-aider.
Many of these contracts have been awarded ‘without competing or advertising the requirement’ – in other words, the situation of emergency has allowed Government departments to hand these contracts to these companies with no questions asked.

A story from the “New Normal”meet Sally:
Sally has 2 kids and a husband. Sally was worried about Covid so she paid attention she followed the rules she worried about dying of covid she worried about her kids dying. So she followed the rules and she stayed in her home. She didn’t see anyone and only left the house to go shopping. She washed her hands and made sure the house was clean. She did her best to keep her family healthy. Sally watched the news Sally trusted the media and wanted to do what was right.
When lockdown was over Sally was happy to take her kids to the park and to see her friends again. She was glad that life was returning to normal. Sally decided to book a holiday to Spain because the goverment said their was no risk but a few weeks later the goverment changed their minds. If Sally and her family go on holiday they have to isolate for 2 weeks. Sally decided that her family had missed out on enough so she spoke to her boss and her boss agreed to give her 2 weeks unpaid leave. Money would be tight but it would be worth it to get away.
Sally followed all the rules in Spain she masked up when leaving her apartment. She didn’t mix with anyone and she had a lovely time on holiday with her family She kept her family safe and stuck to the rules. Her holiday wasn’t the same but Sally was glad to take a break from the UK enjoy the sunshine.
Sally didn’t realise how hard isolation would be when she returned to the UK No visitors, no walking of the dog, no trips to the supermarket, complete isolation was hard. She knew her family were healthy and free of corona but she had to follow the goverment rules. There was no way she could pay a fine for breaking the rules.
After 2 weeks the kids could go back to school oh how excited they were to see their friends. Kids are happy to get back into a routine. Life feels normal.
3 days after being back at school Sally gets a call from school to tell her someone in the kids year group has tested positve. The full year group has to go home and isolate for 14 days.
Sally doesn’t have anyone to help with childcare so Sally has to take 2 weeks unpaid leave. Only this time her boss is not as pleased to give her the time off.
Sally isolates with her kids obeys the rules. Home schools but life is getting harder and she can barely afford to feed her family her mental health is suffering. She needs something to look forward to so she makes a promise to herself they she will treat herself when kids go back to school.
Kids go back to school. Even though Sally is struggling financially she books to get her haircut. She knows this will make her feel good. She’s starting to feel normal again. Back at work her boss isn’t happy they’ve had to take on a temp to cover the time she’s been off. Her colleagues treat her differently because of the time of she’s had. Sally feels sad she feels hurt that people can’t see that the kids having to isolate is out with her control.
Sallys mental health is at breaking point but she needs this job the bills are piling up shes lost out on 4 weeks pay.
Sally takes the kids to school on the way to work she gets a text message from test and trace her beautician has tested positive for coronavirus and she has to isolate immediately.
Sally can’t go to workher boss has to terminate her contract due to the amount of time off. Sally has no savings and the bills are stacking up.
6 months later Sally never had coronavirus she has been unable to find a job she has to go to local food banks for food. She’s at risk of losing her home. Sally thinks about suicide a lot!!
Sally worries constantly that her kids might have to isolate. She knows school is the only time they get a decent meal.”

Saving the NHS?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#saving-nhs updated: 12 December 2020

If you are a health care professional in the United Kingdom, you might like to join this Facebook group:
NHS workers for choice, no restrictions for declining a vaccine

Staff are exhausted with significant numbers – 30,000 at last count – off work for Covid-related issues. [BBC, 2nd December]
Many of these 30 000 staff are probably absent from work because they need to self isolate – based on a medically meaningless “positiv” PCR test result, and NOT because they are ill.
Britain has fewer hospital beds than other European countries, so that is a factor to consider.

The NHS wrote a letter to “At Risk Patients living at home with the following instructions:
– Try not to see anyone face-to face for at least 12 weeks
– keep 3 steps (2metres) between you and other people in your home
– Sleep in a different bed from other people if you can
– Try not to use the kitchen at the same time as other people
– If possible, eat by yourself in your room
– Try to keep yourself well and happy
These instructions feel more like punishment and isolation torture;
how can anyone hope to uplift an elderly person’s spirit with that?

Dr. Kendrick in an interview: “You cannot dissociate money and health. We are spending as much on Covid-19 as we would spend on the NHS in three normal years.
“It is going to destroy the health of a lot of people… If you are not willing to accept that you might have done more harm than good, you cannot look at the situation accurately or objectively.”

The LIGHT blue shows suspected covid-19 cases – DEFINITELY not the main issue

Our western “modern” medicine focusses on treating symptoms rather than finding the cause of an illness, and often creates long term unhealthy side effects. Reducing the fever sabotages the natural immune system at work and supports the disease. Antibiotics severely damage the biome, home of the immune system, and a complex and well balanced rain forest like environment. The result is often a short term improvement with a long term weaker health condition or causing other diseases to develop.
On top of this systemic imbalance, almost 1,000 patients die needlessly in UK NHS hospitals every month because of basic errors by medical staff (UK study July 2012)
“Save our NHS” as it is) means cementing a rigid system, which provides income to pharmaceutical companies and their share holders.

People’s choices are heavily influenced by the media [image: Gary Larson]

Dr. Kendrick in an interview:
“we are going to miss the fact that the lockdown policies have caused an increase in deaths from many other things. There has been a 50 per cent reduction in people turning up to A&E. It is clear that people just do not want to bother the doctors. The clarion call was to clear the hospitals of patients. There was a point when my local hospital was a quarter full. Staff were wandering around with nothing to do… An awful lot of people have been standing around wondering what the hell to do with themselves. A&E has never been so quiet.
They basically just started throwing people out into the intermediate care sector. The average age of death from Covid-19 in the UK is around 82, and most of those people have co-morbidities… They had one objective – to clear the hospitals – and everything else was subordinate to that…
We locked down the population that had virtually zero risk of getting any serious problems from the disease, and then spread it wildly among the highly vulnerable age group.” 

In the chapter “We need to change the NHS” (in the next article about the Immune System) you may find some inspiration what we need to do.

The Media and Bias?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#media
updated 30 April 2021

The media: “the first casualty in a war situation is the Truth”
At a time where 19 out of 20 news items in the main stream media revolve around the coronavirus, and Google, Facebook and Youtube, evenTwitter and Vimeo, are selectively removing content damaging their financial interests from their platforms, or labelling content with true, partly true or false warnings, fake and biased news, we need to face it:
Media are tempted to be biased toward their financial supporters.

Here is a recent example how the media reporting ABSOLUTE numbers create
hysteria about India, which has LESS covid deaths per million than other countries.
Source: LeftLockdownSceptics.com
It is increasingly difficult to criticise media and their role in influencing public opinion

Many clinics in Europe and the US remained strongly underutilized or almost empty during lockdowns and in some cases had to send staff home – the media reported the opposite.

A newspaper is a device
for making the ignorant more ignorant
and the crazy crazier.
H. L. Mencken

In August 2020, the Columbia Journalism Review examined nearly twenty thousand charitable grants the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation had made through the end of June and found more than $250 million going toward journalism.
Recipients included news operations like the BBC, NBC, Al Jazeera, ProPublicaNational JournalThe Guardian, Univision, Medium, the Financial TimesThe Atlantic, the Texas Tribune, Gannett, Washington MonthlyLe Monde, and the Center for Investigative Reporting…  journalistic organizations such as the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, the National Press Foundation, and the International Center for Journalists; and a variety of other groups creating news content or working on journalism, such as the Leo Burnett Company, an ad agency that Gates commissioned to create a “news site” to promote the success of aid groups. In some cases, recipients say they distributed part of the funding as subgrants to other journalistic organizations—which makes it difficult to see the full picture of Gates’s funding into the fourth estate. 
The foundation has long used its charitable giving to shape the public discourse on everything from global health to education to agriculture—a level of influence that has landed Bill Gates on Forbes’s list of the most powerful people in the world. 
Other ties include “participating in dozens of conferences, such as the Perugia Journalism Festival, the Global Editors Network, or the World Conference of Science Journalism,” as well as “help[ing] build capacity through the likes of the Innovation in Development Reporting fund.”
PolitiFact and USA Today (run by the Poynter Institute and Gannett, respectively—both of which have received funds from the Gates Foundation) have used their fact-checking platforms to defend Gates from “false conspiracy theories” and “misinformation”

What about the medical experts and research scientists?
The British Medical Journal BMJ published a cross sectional study: Financial ties between leaders of influential US professional medical associations and industry in May 2020.

Results: 235 of 328 leaders (72%)
had financial ties to industry.

Among 293 leaders who were medical doctors or doctors of osteopathy, 235 (80%) had ties. Total payments for 2017-19 leadership were almost $130m (£103m; €119m), with a median amount for each leader of $31 805 (interquartile range $1157 to $254 272). General payments, including those for consultancy and hospitality, were $24.8m and research payments were $104.6m—predominantly payments to academic institutions with association leaders named as principle investigators.
Variation was great among the associations: median amounts varied from $212 for the American Psychiatric Association leaders to $518 000 for the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Conclusions: Financial relationships between the leaders of influential US professional medical associations and industry are extensive, although with variation among the associations. The quantum of payments raises questions about independence and integrity, adding weight to calls for policy reform.

Big companies and corporations find ways to secure their survival, through lobbying politicians and influencing media for their advantage – while small companies and businesses struggle to survive.

Typical media reporting from a demonstration criticising the government politics

Google is not a source of objective information.
They’re a very one-sided indoctrination machine.
Google’s basic strategy is ‘programming people.”
Google manipulates mankind by hiding certain information

and imposing other information.
Their mission is to ‘program’ humanity.”
[Zach Vorhies, senior software engineer of Google]

The media contribute to influence public opinion and politics. Above some examples from The Guardian. So nothing new for the 2020 winter – except, that the NHS has a few thousand less beds available – and seveeral doctors, nurses and care personnel are stressed because some collegues are absent due to selfisolation after testing “positive”.

Coronavirus disease 2019: The harms of exaggerated information and non‐evidence‐based measures“:
“Based on Altmetric scores, the most discussed and most visible scientific paper across all 20+ million papers published in the last 8 years across all science is a preprint claiming that the new coronavirus’ spike protein bears “uncanny similarity” with HIV‐1 proteins.2 The Altmetric score of this work has reached an astronomical level of 13 725 points as of 5 March 2020. The paper was rapidly criticized as highly flawed, and the authors withdrew it within days.
Regardless, major harm was already done”
“The first report documenting transmission by an asymptomatic individual was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on January 30. However, the specific patient did have symptoms, but researchers had not asked.3

We should ensure that the media do not use the power of images to generate emotions that influence our judgment. If you get pictures of coffins and death departments from Italy or pictures of completely empty shelves, then their effects exceed the facts mentioned.

Virus Mania is a social disease of our highly developed society.
To cure it will require conquering fear,
fear being the most deadly contagious virus,
most efficiently transmitted by the media.”

“Fear Porn?” – collage from BBC web site April 2020, by InProportion2

Even though the COVID-19 curve has been flattened,
mainstream media outlets continue to push doomsday predictions of an impending explosion of deaths
• According to Stanford University’s disease prevention chairman Dr. John Ioannidis, the COVID-19 fatality rate for those under the age of 45 is “almost zero,” and between the ages of 45 and 70, it’s somewhere between 0.05% and 0.3%
• So, the fact that young and middle-aged adults are testing positive in droves is not a warning sign of an impending onslaught of deaths, as the risk of death in these age groups is minuscule
• According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, the COVID-19 mortality — which had declined for the last 10 weeks straight — “is currently at the epidemic threshold,” meaning if it declines just a little more, COVID-19 will no longer be considered an epidemic [14 July 2020]

Was The Spanish Flu Different?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#spanish-flu
updated 12 Feb 2021

Some previous pandemics were caused by volcanic eruptions leading to obscured sunshine resulting in food shortages and vitamin D deficiencies.
Spanish Flu casualties were partly due to administration of aspirin, which lowers the fever (“shooting the immune system in the food”) and impedes on the vitamin C absorption in the body (vitamin C was not discovered yet), which is a fatal combination for stressed malnourished bodies fighting an infection.
The “Second Wave” was most certainly not caused by the same virus than in the first winter – but that is difficult to proove or disprove in hindsight. We know however, is that this was a dire war situation, causing lots of fear and stress, which turns the immune system off – an open invitation for germs, bacteria and viruses to invade without much resistance.
We can also assume, that the quality of sleep was bad in a war situation, which is a precondition for many diseases.

The New Scientist writes: “Medical and scientific experts now agree that bacteria, not influenza viruses, were the greatest cause of death during the 1918 flu pandemic.” [4 Aug 2008]

Bacterial Pneumonia Caused Most Deaths in 1918 Influenza Pandemic:
“The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs.”

This main cause of death from bacterial lung infections was established in 2008 via a research study which examined the autopsies and lung tissue specimens and studies conducted at the time and since: the authors were expert pathologists. [Fauci et al, 2008].

Did wearing face masks contribute to viral pneumonia, causing most deaths in the Spanish Flu?

We know that cloth masks were routinely warn and were mandated in many places. The mandating of cloth masks was an experimental measure which went against the public health policies and scientific research evidence base at the time.

Spanish Flu, viral pneumonia, or meningitis vaccine victims?

THE 1918 “SPANISH FLU”: ONLY THE VACCINATED DIED [By Dr. Sal Martingano, FICPA]: Spain was neutral during WW1 and did NOT censor its press, unlike the combatting countries. As a result, Spain was the first to report the 1918 Flu epidemic and the world “scapegoated” Spain as the source. Thus, the “Spanish Flu” is born. History tells us that the 1918 Spanish Flu killed between 50 – 100 million people.
In the book, Vaccination Condemned, Eleanor McBean, PhD, N.D., describes, in detail, personal and family experiences during the 1918 “Spanish Flu” pandemic. McBean’s coverage requires that the historical basis of the event needs to be revisited, with evidence that will “set your hair on fire”.  
In preparation for WW1, a massive military vaccination experiment involving numerous prior developed vaccines took place in Fort Riley, Kansas- where the first “Spanish Flu” case was reported.
Autopsies after the war proved that the 1918 flu was NOT a “FLU” at all. It was caused by random dosages of an experimental ‘bacterial meningitis vaccine’, which to this day, mimics flu-like symptoms. The massive, multiple assaults with additional vaccines on the unprepared immune systems of soldiers and civilians created a “killing field”.  
Those that were not vaccinated were not affected.  [source]

  1. WW1 ended sooner than expected, leaving HUGE quantities of unused experimental vaccines.
  2. Fearing that soldiers coming home would spread diseases to their families, The U.S. government pushed the largest vaccine ‘fear’ campaign in history. They used the human population as a research and development lab to field test experimental vaccines.
  3. Tens of millions of civilians died in the same manner as did the soldiers.  
  4. Instead of stopping the vaccines, doctors intensified them, calling it the great “Spanish Flu of 1918”. As a result, ONLY THE VACCINATED DIED. [source]

WW1 U.S. soldiers were given 14 – 25 untested, experimental vaccines within days of each other, which triggered intensified cases of ALL the diseases at once.  The doctors called it a new disease and proceeded to suppress the symptoms with additional drugs or vaccines.   [source]

Spanish Flu, viral pneumonia, or meningitis vaccine victims?

The Rosenau Experiment, 1918-1919 by Dr. Milton Rosenau:
Volunteers received first one strain and then several strains of Pfeiffer bacillus by spray and swab into their noses and throats and then into their eyes. That procedure failed to produce disease.
Others were inoculated with mixtures of other organisms isolated from the throats and noses of influenza patients.
Next, some volunteers received injections of blood from influenza patients.
Finally, 13 of the volunteers were taken into an influenza ward and exposed to 10 influenza patients each. Each volunteer was to shake hands with each patient, to talk with him at close range, and to permit him to cough directly into his face.
None of the volunteers in these experiments developed influenza.

Dr. Alan Palmer writes:
More important than the pathogen is the resistance of the host:
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, infectious disease ravaged the large cities here and in Europe. Small Pox, Dysentery, Cholera, Diphtheria, the Spanish Flu and even Measles were very deadly. During that time period, livestock, horses, dogs and other animals walked down the streets, defecating and urinating as they went. The cities were greatly over-crowded. There was no efficient way to dispose of human and animal waste, the air was putrid, the water unclean, the food supply providing only basic needs and most people smoked and chewed tobacco. People’s bodies were living petri dishes, crawling with pathogenic (harmful) organisms, disease causing bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi. Their “terrain” was fertile soil, ripe for infection as their immune systems were weak and overwhelmed.”


Today we still find similar conditions and malnutrition in third world countries. For example: vitamin A deficiency is a common condition that contributes to illness, blindness, and death.
In today’s “modern” world, we face different problems: pollution and contaminated processed foods weaken the immune system, and life expectancy in the US is going DOWN – that should be a warning.

Politics of Fear? Gaslighting, Stockholm Syndrome

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#fear-politics updated: 4 April 2021

Fear is experienced in your mind, but it triggers a strong physical reaction in your body. As soon as you recognize fear, your amygdala (small organ in the middle of your brain) goes to work. It alerts your nervous system, which sets your body’s fear response into motion. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are released. Your blood pressure and heart rate increase. You start breathing faster. Even your blood flow changes — blood actually flows away from your heart and into your limbs, making it easier for you to start throwing punches, or run for your life. Your body is preparing for fight-or-flight.” [source]

24 Jan 2021: Government accused of using Covid fear tactics to inflate anxiety levels of British public:
“THE government has been accused of using covert strategies to keep people in a perpetual state of heightened fear to make them obey Covid-19 restrictions.”
A group of 47 psychologists has claimed this amounts to a strategic decision “to inflate the fear levels of the British public”, which it states is “ethically murky” and has left people too afraid to leave their homes for medical appointments. Led by former NHS consultant psychologist Dr Gary Sidley, the experts have written to the British Psychological Society (BPS) claiming the strategy is “morally questionable”.” [express.co.uk]

The Telegraph reports (25 Jan): Manipulative broadcasters’ intrusive reports from hospitals are simply feeding despair
The excessive use of distressing films from the frontline is terrifying already frightened people
“I had to turn off the television news half a dozen times last week which, for a journalist who is obliged to stay on top of events, is quite something. I took this uncharacteristic step because I could not bear to watch, over and over again, the same film reports of appalling distress from hospital intensive care wards, some of them featuring with patients who died after being filmed…”

Quotes from The Telegraph: “inflated fear levels will be responsible for the ‘collateral’ deaths of many thousands of people with non-Covid illnesses” who are “too frightened to attend hospital”.
One regular Sage attendee said: “The British people have been subjected to an unevaluated psychological experiment without being told that is what’s happening.
the Government tells the public how many people have died within 28 days of a positive Covid test, but does not include the context of whether deaths are above or below the seasonal norm, and also gives daily figures for hospital admissions, but not how many people have recovered.”
“Once the fear has been stoked you can’t diminish it. It’s not like turning a tap on and off – you can’t turn the fear off.

“A report by Nottingham University last year suggested that fear could even translate into additional Covid deaths because poor mental health weakens the immune system. The report said: “It is well known that when negative mood states persist over time they result in the dysregulation of physiological systems involved in the regulation of the immune system.” [Telegraph, 2 April 2021]


“As some parts of your brain are revving up, others are shutting down. When the amygdala senses fear, the cerebral cortex (area of the brain that harnesses reasoning and judgment) becomes impaired — so now it’s difficult to make good decisions or think clearly.

As a result, you might… [be] unable to rationalize that the threat is not real. [source]

Children are made feel responsible for the painful, tortured death of their parents and grandparents if they do not follow the Corona rules and don’t stay away from their grandparents. [from ‘Crimes against humanity‘]

“For every complex problem there is an answer
that is clear, simple, and wrong”
H. L. Mencken

Asking people to spy on each other, on their neighbours and local businesss seeds distrust and destroys communities. Using threats triggering fear in order to manipulate people is an old political strategy, ubiquitous in today’s politics and media, labelled as “war on the virus”

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaderssaid Nazi bigwig Hermann Goering after his conviction at Nuremberg. “That is easy. Of course, the people don’t want war,… neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood.”
“After all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.”
“the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

Gaslighting is a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power, making a victim question their reality. It is done slowly, so the victim doesn’t realise how much they’ve been brainwashed.
Gaslighters typically use the following techniques:
1. They tell blatant lies. setting up a precedent.
2. They deny they ever said something, even though you have proof.
3. They use what is near and dear to you as ammunition.
4. They wear you down over time.
5. Their actions do not match their words.
6. They throw in positive reinforcement to confuse you.
7. They know confusion weakens people.
8. They project. (accusing you of what they are doing)
9. They try to align people against you.
10. They tell you or others that you are crazy.
11. They tell you everyone else is a liar.
Details described in the article seem to match the current situation.

The UK government, supported by the media, creates a lot of fear and uncertainty through contradicting instructions which “do not seem to make any sense.” There is no political opposition or questioning of the lockdown, as a war style situation is created with help of the media who thrive in conflict situations, and the message “we are all in this together” signal: “if you don’t do what we say, you endanger the lives of all of us”

Another psychological aspect of the current situation is “The Stockholm Syndrome“, where hostages / victims begin to bond with their kidnappers / abusers, in order to save their lives. Being in a manipulative relationship can cause cognitive dissonance (“this doesn’t make sense”). This means the victim’s intuition has been damaged, and they may be confused about reality. Victims of Stockholm syndrome can become dedicated to a cause or an unspoken desire. They may over-identify with the perpetrator in a dysfunctional way in order to fulfil a personal need. This is the “hook.” A clever political strategy.
How to Help People Who May Have Stockholm Syndrome

The whole political re-action to the coronavirus, fired up by the media, is steped in psychological aspects – here is another one:

Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) — or Munchausen by proxy — is a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care.

“People with MSP may create or exaggerate a child’s symptoms in several ways. They may simply lie about symptoms, alter tests (such as contaminating a urine sample), falsify medical records, or they may actually induce symptoms through various means, such as poisoning, suffocating, starving, and causing infection.”

The UK government’s chief scientific adviser has £600,000 of shares in vaccine maker contracted by the government. The government is “following scientific advice” of the SAGE committee. From 20 permanent members [as of 15 August], only five are independent.
That means, 3/4 of them have ties to industries or other bias, which unavoidably has an influence on what advice they give. Below are excerpts from one SAGE report, showing psychological manipulation methods:

SAGE committee suggests fear
Document showing the SAGE committee suggesting
to increase fear in the UK population

Much fear and panic was created around this new virus, contributing to stress and dis-ease. This led to the acceptance of the government’s lockdown.
On March 19th, a French study “SARS-CoV-2: Fear Versus Data” was published, concluding: “There does not seem to be a significant difference between the mortality rate of SARS-CoV-2 in OECD countries and that of common coronaviruses” and:
“Fear could have a larger impact than the virus itself”
So the same day, the British government decided: “COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious diseases (HCID) in the UK”. But four days later they ordered a lockdown and voted on a Bill, spanning a period of two years. TWO YEARS – for a seasonal virus?
By the time it turned out the virus was not so dangerous, the decision makers seemed too afraid to admit this and return to normal.
Due to lockdown and “flattening the curve”, we haven’t achieved the level of herd immunity yet, so some people will catch up with the virus later.

This table is from Sweden, which did not have lockdown deaths
sneaking into covid-19 death statistics.

Liberty is of small value to the lower third of humanity.
They greatly prefer security, which means protection
by some class above them.
They are always in favor of despots who promise to feed them.”

[H.L. Mencken]

The No-cebo effect of fear
Just like any medication and placebo works better, when people believe in them, any virus will make people more ill when they fear it.
Fear induces stress, which disables the immune system, which makes people more receptive to any infection – a self fulfilling prophecy.
Fear intoxicates our common sense, and especially those who have locked themselves in have been exposed to multiple repeated slogans on all channels to be scared.
Coronaviruses regularly recur in dogs, cats, pigs, mice, bats and in humans, and after all Covid-19 is part of the coronavirus family.

HCQ Studies Set Up To Fail?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#hcq-fail

WHO, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust and the U.K. government used wrong dosage and missed a main ingredient in their studiesHow a False Hydroxychloroquine Narrative Was Created
• The U.K. Recovery Trial— Funded in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust and the U.K. government through Oxford University, this study randomly assigned patients to usual care or to one of five primary drug treatments: lopinavir-ritonavir; a corticosteroid (low-dose dexamethasone); hydroxychloroquine; tociizumab; or azithromycin. They also used convalescent plasma.
Patients received 2,400 mg of hydroxychloroquine during the first 24 hours — three to six times higher than the daily dosage recommended followed by 400 mg every 12 hours for nine more day for a cumulative dose of 9,200 mg over 10 days. The trial ended its hydroxychloroquine arm on June 4, reporting “no benefit.”

• The Solidarity Trial — Launched by the World Health Organisation and funded by 43 countries and 203,000 individuals and organisations, this trial also compares standard of care against four drug options, including hydroxychloroquine, among patients in 35 countries.
the Canadian and Norwegian portions of the trial lists a dosage of 2,000 mg on the first day, and a cumulative dose of 8,800 mg over 10 days. This is only 400 mg less than the U.K.32 Recovery Trial’s toxic dose.
…the study was retracted for using fabricated data, (and this despite having undergone peer-review), the hydroxychloroquine arm was restarted.
June 17, 2020, the hydroxychloroquine arm was stopped again, this time “based on evidence from the Solidarity trial, U.K.’s Recovery trial and a Cochrane review of other evidence on hydroxychloroquine.”

The REMAP-CAP Trial (Randomized, Embedded, Multifactorial Adaptive Platform Trial for Community-Acquired Pneumonia)39 — Here, patients either received nothing, a combination of lopinavir and ritonavir, or hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with lopinavir and ritonavir.
REMAP used the same toxic dose as the Recovery Trial but for six days instead of 10. What’s more, only critically ill hospitalised patients were included in this trial..

By using the WRONG dose, the WHO,
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
Wellcome Trust and the UK government caused avoidable deaths.

All three trials above that used toxic hydroxychloroquine doses also failed to include zinc, which appears to be a key factor; the hydroxychloroquine is really only used to drive the zinc in to the cells.

Children and Covid-19

last updated: 6 January 2021

Corona children studies “Co-Ki”: First results of a Germany-wide registry on mouth and nose covering (mask) in children“:
“By 26.10.2020 the registry had been used by 20,353 people. In this publication we report the results from the parents, who entered data on a total of 25,930 children. The average wearing time of the mask was 270 minutes per day.  Impairments caused by wearing the mask were reported by 68% of the parents. These included irritability (60%), headache (53%), difficulty concentrating (50%), less happiness (49%), reluctance to go to school/kindergarten (44%), malaise (42%) impaired learning (38%) and drowsiness or fatigue (37%).

Our children are severely affected: “Socially isolated children were at significant risk of poor adult health compared with non-isolated children… longitudinal findings showed that chronic social isolation across multiple developmental periods had a cumulative, dose-response relationship to poor adult health”

[Study August 2006: Socially Isolated Children 20 Years Later – Risk of Cardiovascular Disease]

Kids aren’t superspreaders, and they may even be superbarriers [ANH, 19 Nov. 2020]
“in July, Swedish epidemiologist, Dr Jonas Ludvigsson from the Karolinska Institute, well and truly put the nail in the coffin of the idea that kids might be the problem, pointing to evidence that showed that is was unlikely that kids were the main driver of the pandemic.”
“Now we have a new insight. Kids are not only unlikely to be superspreaders, they could actually be a significant part of the solution. It seems their exposure to the virus may create one of the most effective ways of breaking transmission cycles of SARS-CoV-2.

“Now we have a new insight.
Kids… exposure to the virus may create
one of the most effective ways of
breaking transmission cycles of SARS-CoV-2.”

“The latest insight comes from a very detailed case study on a single family published by a group from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and the University of Melbourne, led by Dr Shidan Tosif, just published in the journal Nature Communications.”
“all three kids developed strong antibody responses as measured in saliva and blood plasma. Additionally, the adults developed strong and sustained T-cell responses which would have conferred long-term immunity.”
The youngest child who never had symptoms developed the strongest antibody response and that response was especially strong in the saliva. The authors of the study rightly suggest that this could mean that children can develop a very strong innate mucosal response to virus particles that land in the nose, mouth and airways that prevents the virus from gaining entry to the body and replicating. Hence the lack of evidence of replicating virus in these three children.”
What can we learn? “Young kids who are exposed to the virus may be among the most effective neutralisers of the virus, so when they are in the transmission chain, they could break the transmission chain and reduce rather increase total viral loads” [end of ANH quotes]

A Durham teacher reported, that 5 out of 70 children he has been teaching via zoom did well – but the 65 others were really struggling and did not like on-line learning.

• It is the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day AND being an alcoholic.
• It doubles the risk of death, and destroys the part of the brain responsible for learning.

It looks like trouble is brewing up in the current school generation.

Statistics & Covid-19 Deaths

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#deaths-statistics updated: 27 May 2021

“Dr. Mike Yeadon says the definition of a “coronavirus death” in the U.K. is anyone who dies, from any cause, within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test…
about 1,700 people die each day in the U.K. in any given year, but many of these deaths are now falsely attributed to COVID-19… the daily death count is absolutely bang-on normal” [source, 2 December]

Systematically Flawed Mortality Statistics Should Not Be Guiding Science, Medicine or Public Policy” – An Evidence Based Postion Presented By A Former Death Certificate Clerk [20 April 2021]:

“Clinical practice and legislation aimed to save lives, cause-of-death reporting does not meet any basic criteria of objective fact. Across continents, from 40 years ago to present day, death certificates, which provide the basis for our beliefs as to why we die, have been found to be erroneous in their causal conclusions 20-60% of the time according to the peer-reviewed literature. The daily process of obtaining cause-of-death information, which I was an eyewitness to, is not a process of careful investigation, but rather a rushed and apathetic bureaucratic tumbling machine that incentivizes compliance over recording the complexity of truth.”

The global circulation of flu viruses 2016-2021 according to WHO has disappeared?
YES: the final death count for all of 2020 shows more deaths then in the recent years.
NO: it does not proove they died with or from covid-19 – or as a knock on effect from lockdown.

Statistics: 2020 might be rememberd as the year with dramatic DECREASE of registered infectious diseases. Compare the full (and half) year “Cumulative Totals” 2018, 2019 and 2020 in the table below:

This statistic shows an unbelieveable reduction of cumulative totals of many diseases in 2020, especially in the 2nd half of 2020.

It is not the first time, that politicians were presented with models predicting far too many deaths – and after they voted for lockdown, the numbers were corrected [source]

Covid-19 vaccine 95% effective?” This should be exposed as fraud:
1) nearly 1 out of 5 healthy volunteers reported side effects after the 1st shot, and stronger effects after the 2nd shot. It is likely, that more of frail, old or those with underlying health conditions will suffer side effects.
2) in previous SARS vaccine animal models, they died when exposed to the wild SARS virus they were vaccinated against.
That will likely happen between January and March (coronavirus season in the northern hemisphere)
3) Side effects are only recorded from two weeks after the second vaccination in the trial setup.

22 Nov: the Daily Mail UK reports the latest official data: Covid UK: Facts about the risks, the death rate, and NHS capacity
(in short: it’s all normal for November)

During the ‘Halloween horror show’ press conference used by Sir Patrick and Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty to scare the Government into implementing a second lockdown, one of their slides suggested that daily Covid-19 deaths could reach 4,000 a day by December. [graphic: Daily Mail UK 22 November]

Since the Coronavirus Bill was passed on 25 March, proper post mortem examinations are not required any more, and the real reason of death and underlying conditions may never be found out. The WHO guidelines allow using the emergency ICD-10 code “U07. COVID-19” as cause of death, if no virus was identified. www.who.int/classifications/icd/covid19/en/
This covid death count is basically useles.
An Italian post morten examination found over 95% of covid-19 deaths had underlying conditions likely being the cause of death.
Italian hospitals are the worst in Europe; an analysis from 2015 showed, that over 10 700 people died in Italian hospitals due to hospital acquired antibiotic resistant pathogens in one year.

There are numerous credible reports that doctors and hospitals worldwide had been paid money for declaring a deceased person a victim of covid-19 rather than writing down the true cause of death on the death certificate, for example, a heart attack or a gunshot wound. [from ‘Crimes against humanity‘]

Prominent forensic medicine professor Klaus Püschel, Hamburg, Germany, has vast experience in autopsying individuals who have died with the Chinese coronavirus:
“All [COVID-19] deaths for this region, which have now passed 100, have been autopsied, and each one had serious pre-existing diseases. The average age is 80 years old.”
“I think it’s really completely inappropriate when a president tells his people that we are at war, or when the German chancellor compares the situation with the last world war.”

The vast majority of UK Covid deaths have underlying conditions (green)

The UK ONS: Where only COVID-19 was recorded on the death certificate, or COVID-19 and subsequent conditions caused by COVID-19 were recorded, we refer to these deaths as having “No pre-existing conditions”.
Who decides if the conditions are subsequent or have been underlying?
It is likely, that the conditions which actually caused the death, may never appear in the statistics, leaving the impression that coronavirus was the only cause of death.

Good news? In June 2020 all top 10 causes of death (blue) were lower
than the 5-year average (yellow)!
Isn’t it likely, that the labels of deaths just changed?

Statistics and testing: according to the WHO, the flu has nearly been eradicated?

According to WHO Influenza Laboratory Surveillance Information, it appears that there has been virtually no Flu anywhere in the world since April. The levels from week 16 to date are tiny compared to similar periods over the previous 10 years.

The Telegraph, 8 December: Office for National Statistics (ONS) data – which showed soaring coronavirus cases before the second lockdown – has been quietly revised down and now suggests that cases were largely plateauing at the time, it has emerged.

Why were Public Health England NOT counting covid recovered cases like the other countries?
By this PHE definition, no one with COVID in England was allowed to ever recover from their illness. A patient who has tested positive, but successfully treated and discharged from hospital, was still counted as a COVID death even if they had a heart attack or were run over by a bus three months later.

[from Why no-one can ever recover from COVID-19 in England – a statistical anomaly
Finally: a covid-19 death count review removed 5400 deaths from the statistic
and a cut-off of 28 days is applied on 12 August 2020,
reducing the covid deaths from 442 to 111 (week 18 to 24 July)

The UK government published the following blog on 12 Aug 2020
Behind the headlines: Counting Covid-19 deaths“: The additional indicators which will be used to calculate daily death figures are:

  • the number of deaths in people with COVID-19 that occur within 28 days of a first positive laboratory-confirmed test. 
    This is intended to provide a headline indicator of the immediate impact of recent epidemic activity. Deaths that occur more than 28 days after a positive test will not be included in this count.
  • the number of deaths that occur within 60 days of a first positive test. Deaths that occur after 60 days will also be added to this figure if COVID-19 appears on the death certificate.
    This will provide a more complete measure of the burden of the disease over time.”

“We examined all 41,598 deaths in confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported up to 3 August 2020 and found that:

  • 88% of deaths occurred within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test and 96% occurred within 60 days or had COVID-19 on the death certificate
  • of those who died 29 to 60 days after their positive test, COVID-19 was included on the death certificate for 64%
  • 2,295 (54%) of the 4,219 deaths excluded by a 28-day time limit had COVID-19 on the death certificate
  • overall 91% of deaths reported by PHE in confirmed cases up to 3 August had COVID-19 on the death certificate” [blog.gov.uk]

Anyone who tests positive with coronavirus und dies within 28 days, whatever the cause of death, is counted as “Covid-19 death” So there will always be some covid deaths.

THIS above news item was mostly “no news”.
Normally media report misconduct, and uncover government mistakes.
During this coronavirus time however it is predominantly the scare news
which make it into the headlines.
One month after England, Scotland has now adjusted their covid-19 death count.
The Scotish Sun was the only newspaper showing this in a headline

Covid deaths as well as test “cases” seem to have a high degree in downward adjustment – in other words: they were highly inflated to start with, and it took rather a long time to correct.

The Off-Guardian reports on 8 October:
WHO (Accidentally) Confirms Covid is No More Dangerous Than Flu Head of Health Emergencies Program “best estimates” put IFR at 0.14%
They believe roughly 10% of the world has been infected with Sars-Cov-2. This is their “best estimate”. The global population is roughly 7.8 billion people, if 10% have been infected that is 780 million cases. The global death toll currently attributed to Sars-Cov-2 infections is 1,061,539.
That’s an infection fatality rate of roughly or 0.14%.
Right in line with seasonal flu

Statistics can do anything:
Playing around with death labels seems to be not unusual:
No male “influenza and pneumonia male deaths” 2011-1015 (red)?
No female “chronic lower respiratory diseases” (grey fields) in 2006 and from 2008 to 2011?
“Dementia and Alzheimers”(light blue): are women so different to men?
What surprises will we see for 2020 death labels in the UK?

official UK death statistics are full of surprises due to changing labels and definitions.

Here is an interesting example how a fact check website interprets data: fullfact.org/health/flu-covid-deaths – headline: “Flu isn’t the underlying cause of death for more people than Covid-19
“the ONS reports the number of “deaths involving COVID-19”, which means the number of death certificates that mention Covid-19 somewhere, whether or not it was the underlying cause.
The ONS also reports in the bulletin the number of “deaths in England and Wales [that] mentioned ‘Influenza and Pneumonia’”. Again, they didn’t have to be the underlying cause of death. 

This matters, because “when Covid-19 is mentioned on a death certificate, it is much more likely to be the underlying cause of someone’s death than when pneumonia or influenza is.
[THIS is the point of clear manipulation without proof nor logic]
“Up to the end of June 2020 in England and Wales, Covid-19 was the underlying cause of death on about 93% of the death certificates that mentioned it.”
[Now this is VERY questionable. In reality it is the other way around, that 95% of people WITH covid-19 have underlying conditions – see above, so the covid deaths number should be divided by 20 to get a realistic picture]
“a death counted in the “Influenza and pneumonia” category could be someone who died after having pneumonia, or after having flu, or after having both.”
Pneumonia is usually caused by a bacterial infection, but it can also be caused by a virus such as flu or the one that causes Covid-19. It’s worth noting that many people who die with Covid-19 have pneumonia as well, so the ONS explains that “deaths where both were mentioned have been counted only in the COVID-19 category”.
[WHY is covid-19 overriding pneumonia and the flu in the death statistic without explanation? That shows, that only SOME of the covid deaths are CAUSED by covid, so the covid death number needs to be reduced, and the pneumonia number needs to be increased accordingly.]
From the 26,342 who died from either influenza or pneumonia in 2019, only 4.6% died from flu – and 95,4% died from pneumonia.
A good reminder, that flu is REALLY not that dangerous – it is pneumonia which kills 19 out of 20 people in the flu/pneumonia category.
THANK YOU for reminding us that flu is MUCH less dangerous than the flu vaccine pushers want us to believe.
The Office for National Statistics has begun to include a note on its weekly deaths data, which says: “Figures for Influenza and Pneumonia represent where either of these causes have been mentioned anywhere on the death certificate meaning they will not necessarily be the underlying cause of death.”
Hopefully people will stay away from the flu vaccine this year, which needs 71 vaccinated people to avoid ONE case of flu.

Covid-19: The Data Exposing the Deception“[by UK Column, 11 Oct]:
“When influenza, pneumonia and Covid-19 are on a Medical Certificate Cause of Death (MCCD) together, without a postmortem, it is ridiculous to suggest that nearly 96% of these deaths (18,642) must be Covid-19 deaths. The reason that they are reported as such has nothing to do with medical science and everything to do with the death registration system, created by the UK government, specifically for Covid-19.”
for public sector workers who regularly interact with the public in the community, such as police officers, fire officers, park attendants and so forth, mortality was zero.

Interpreting statistics in a different way leads to different conclusions

“The most obvious reason COVID-19 hospitalizations are going up is because of what’s happening in the hospital system.
Patients are returning to the hospitals for elective surgery that were all delayed during the lockdown.” [j.b. handley blog]

Preventing Infections?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#infections
updated 21 April 2021

Exposing our skin to soap and gels, shampoos, deodorants and perfumes results in most of the ingredients being absorbed into the body. Some of the ingredients may have unwanted side effects – they also remove the protective fat layer on the skin (including sunshine induced vitamin D) and lead to the skin being more vulnerable to infections. It is recommended to reduce soap and gels on the skin.

What happens when you take antibiotics or regularly use antibacterial lotions and soaps? You literally kill the good bacteria and the bad ones take over. This, in turn, disturbs the symbiosis (balance) of your microbiome which will lead to digestive issues and immune reactions. [source]

The CDC acknowledged … cleaning surfaces
to prevent transmission by touch of the coronavirus: It’s pure hygiene theater.
[The Atlantic, 13 April 2021]

“Since 2015, WAAW has been focusing on awareness-raising and education towards the responsible and prudent use of the antimicrobials. Since 2015, WAAW has been focusing on awareness-raising and education towards the responsible and prudent use of the antimicrobials. Previously World Antibiotic Awareness Week, the name was changed this year to World Antimicrobial Awareness Week to reflect the breadth of the initiative. Antimicrobials include antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal and antiprotozoal agents, which are critical tools for treating diseases in humans, animals and plants.
WAAW is particularly important this year as the COVID-19 crisis is increasing the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials, including antibiotics. Unless something is done, this could worsen the growing, long-term problems of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
AMR is a global crisis. There is no time to wait. Everyone has a role to play in preserving the effectiveness of antimicrobials… Human and animal health agencies, the environment and food sectors, as well as civil society must unite efforts to preserve antimicrobial efficacy through a multisectoral One Health approach. The AMR crisis applies to everyone. So, let us act for the sake of all humanity.”

Coronavirus Disinfectants May Be Extremely Hazardous to Health:
Toxic chemicals now being used are causing unprecedented levels of exposure with unknown consequences to human health.
studies on many of the chemicals have been linked to asthma and other respiratory conditions, reproductive effects and neurological and dermatological problems.[v]
Exposure to disinfectants and cleaning products has long been
linked to health risks. Among nurses, for instance, exposure to cleaning chemicals at work was associated with a 25% to 38% increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 
Research published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine also found that women responsible for cleaning at home, or who worked as house cleaners, had accelerated declines in lung function, and long-term respiratory health was impaired 10 to 20 years after cleaning activities.[vii]
Damage to respiratory function for women cleaners was similar to smoking a pack of cigarettes every day for 10 to 20 years.
Spraying the chemicals poses increased inhalation risks, as it generates micro-particles and possibly even smaller nanoparticles, which are absorbed into the body faster and in greater quantities than larger particles. The WHO warned, In indoor spaces, routine application of disinfectants to surfaces via spraying is not recommended for COVID-19“.
Aggressive disinfection procedures being implemented in the name of COVID-19 could end up causing far more harm than good. [source]

Constant hand washing and using sanitiser in schools causes skin problems
and possibly long term health issues from toxic ingredients to this boys hand

Scientists warn that making deep-cleaning a priority is not going to have a significant impact on the spread of the virus, as surface transmission appears to be minimal in the first place. In a study in which the authors tried to mimic actual conditions in which a surface might be contaminated by a patient, no viable SARS-CoV was detected on surfaces.
Fogging students, as proposed in England, is both unwarranted and unwise. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, poisonings related to cleaning solutions have also risen by as much as 20%.
Soap and water is likely one of the best alternative strategies here, as the soap will effectively inactivate viruses.

Negative effects of social isolation and distancing on the immune system have not been considered. Any environment, void of new bacteria, germs and viruses, does not stimulate the immune system; it is to be expected, that people who have avoided contact with others will be the first getting ill next winter.

Professor Hendrik Streeck, virologist from the University of Bonn, is leading a study on Heinsberg, “Germany’s Wuhan” with a high number of “cases” and a low number of deaths. Most cases originate from people being together for an extended period of time, and not from touching surfaces with viruses on them. He believes there is little chance to be infected from surfaces like a door knob. “it would be necessary that someone coughs into their hand, immediately touches a doorknob, and then straight after that another person grasps the handle and goes on to touch their face”
Streeck’s, study found that: “There is no significant risk of catching the disease when you go shopping. Severe outbreaks of the infection were always a result of people being closer together over a longer period of time.”

What About The Covid Vaccine?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#vaccine-introduction updated 26 Jan 2021

Is it possible, that by the time the Covid-19 vaccine was rolled out (December 2020), the actual virus has become insignificant and not virulent any more, and the majority of the population has already gained natural immunity?
Here are some graphs about the timing of vaccine introduction:

An old strategy: when it is all over, a vaccine is introduced,
and we are told the vaccine “eradicated” the disease.

There’s a BIG updated article,
Covid-19 Vaccine: cure or curse?

The same question can be asked about the timing of the introduction of face masks in the UK:

In summer 2020, after public transport, facemasks were made mandatory in shops.

Pandemic Reactions Out Of Proportion?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#out-of-proportion updated: 19 January 2021

In the last 40 years alone the UK has had seven official epidemics /pandemics; AIDS, Swine flu, CJD, SARS, MERS, Bird flu as well as annual, seasonal flu.
All were very worrying but schools remained open and the NHS treated everybody and most of the population were unaffected.

A new peer reviewed study “ASSESSING MANDATORY STAY-AT-HOME AND BUSINESS CLOSURE EFFECTS ON THE SPREAD OF COVID-19” from 5 January 2021 by Stanford researchers has found that mandatory lockdowns do not provide more benefits to stopping the spread of COVID-19 than voluntary measures such as social distancing.

Are we winning the war against the virus? What price are we paying?

Compared to other causes of death and previous pandemics, coronavirus-19 should more be compared to a seasonal flu.
World wide, 1 person in every 50,000 died of coronavirus.
Cardiovascular disease kills about 46,575 people each day.
Heart disease has killed more people in the last 4 days than COVID-19 has killed in the last 4 months…

As shown in the previous article, Coronavirus Lockdown was not Necessary. WHY suddenly such a panic with such a huge collateral damage?

This table puts Coronavirus daily deaths into perspective. Keep in mind, that the numbers are based on PCR tests and may include false positives, “suspected” cases, and those dying from underlying conditions.
By now we have MANY treatments for covid-19, and observations form other countries round the world clearly show, that despite a rise in “cases”, deaths do not rise any more
See more statistics above

The WHO states in Non-pharmaceuticalpublic health measures for mitigating the risk and impact of epidemic and pandemic influenza 2019, page 3:
Not recommended in any circumstances:
UV light
• Modifying humidity
Contact tracing
Quarantine of exposed individuals
Entry and exit screening
Border closure

“This is not Ebola. It’s not SARS. It’s politics playing medicine and that’s avery dangerous game. There is no action of any kind needed other than what happened last year when we felt unwell. We stayed home, we took chicken noodle soup, we didn’t visit granny, and we decided when we would return to work. We didn’t need anyone to tell us.”
“There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians. It’s outrageous. This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public. There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus. Other than protecting older, more vulnerable people. It should be thought of as nothing more than a bad flu season.” [Dr. Roger Hodkinson 23 Nov. – full audio is HERE]

19 out of 20 people die FROM underlying conditions, WITH Covid-19

“The real question is, is this serious enough to warrant putting most of our population into house imprisonment, wrecking our economy for an indefinite period, destroying businesses that honest and hardworking people have taken years to build up, saddling future generations with debt, depression, stress, heart attacks, suicides and unbelievable distress inflicted on millions of people who are not especially vulnerable, and will suffer only mild symptoms or none at all?”

Brave “New Normal”?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#brave-new-normal

Computers are taking over our lives in the name of “Health”.
We are all connected – but
our life quality suffers.
Big Brother is watching you.
Freedom in isolation?
The “new abnormal” is eroding
our society as a well balanced interconnected system of people, groups, clubs, businesses, organisations, and public institutions – a complex network of interwoven connections.
We humans are social animals and need each other’s company.

futurism.com reports: “On Monday 12 October, iconic rock band ‘The Flaming Lips’ held a concert in Oklahoma City where everyone — audience and performers included — was sealed in their own plastic bubble.” Is this the ‘New Normal’?

In Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. People will come to love their oppression, to love the technologies that undo their capacities to think.
Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book,
for there would be no one who wanted to read one.
Huxley feared those who would give us so much information, that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism, and the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.
As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny “failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.”
In 1984, George Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, people are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short: what we desire will ruin us.

Learning from Health History?

when they could make profit.
Learning from history? Public Health disinfected people with DDT
[source: Daily Mail]

The officials did get it wrong in the past, remember?
“Most doctors smoke Camels”, including most outrageous ads like
“Give your throat a vacation”
In 2020, the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on politics, media and the health sector is obvious, when you follow the money.

CNN writes on 1 Sept 2020 about Past vaccine disasters
On April 12, 1955 the government announced the first vaccine to protect kids against polio. Within days, labs had made thousands of lots of the vaccine. Batches made by one company, Cutter Labs, accidentally contained live polio virus and it caused an outbreak.
More than 200,000 children got the polio vaccine, but within days the government had to abandon the program. Forty thousand kids got polio. Some had low levels, a couple hundred were left with paralysis, and about 10 died.

CNN continues: in 1976, scientists predicted a pandemic of a new strain of influenza called swine flu. More than 40 years later, some historians call it “flu epidemic that never was.” President Ford was basically told by his advisers, that “look, we have a pandemic flu coming called swine flu that may be as bad as Spanish flu.” Ford was being cajoled to put forward a vaccine that was hastily put together. The government launched the program in about seven months and 40 million people got vaccinated against swine flu, according to the CDC. That vaccination campaign was later linked to cases of a neurological disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome. There were a few hundred cases of Guillain-Barre.

The definition of a pandemic was changed in 2008.
Until then, a pandemic was considered to be a disease that spread worldwide and which led to many serious illnesses and deaths. Suddenly, and for reasons never explained, it was supposed to be a worldwide disease only. Due to this change, the WHO, which is closely intertwined with the global pharmaceutical industry, was able to declare the swine flu pandemic in 2009.

The Swine Flu vaccines proved to be completely unnecessary. as it turned out to be a mild flu and never became the horrific plague that the pharmaceutical industry and its affiliated universities kept announcing it would turn into. These vaccines also led to serious health problems. About 700 children in Europe fell incurably ill with narcolepsy and are now forever severely disabled. [from “Crimes against humanity“]

In 2011 in a split decision in Bruesewitz v. Wyeth, the US Supreme Court majority ruled that vaccines are unavoidably unsafe” and effectively removed all liability from drug companies, even if there was evidence a drug company could have made a vaccine safer. [CNN]:

This is an invitation to QUESTION ‘our’ government.
Normally people question their government’s agendas.
Under the spell of FEAR, critical thinking seems to be deactivated

The Emperor’s New Clothes?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#emperors-clothes

Illustration by Vilhelm Pedersen, Andersen’s first illustrator

This fairytale is so appropriate in today’s “strange times” –
text from Wikipedia – [bold added]

The Emperor’s New Clothes – the plot:
Two swindlers arrive at the capital city of an emperor who spends lavishly on clothing at the expense of state matters. Posing as weavers, they offer to supply him with magnificent clothes that are invisible to those who are stupid or incompetent.
The emperor hires them, and they set up looms and go to work.
A succession of officials, and then the emperor himself, visit them to check their progress. Each sees that the looms are empty but pretends otherwise to avoid being thought a fool.
Finally, the weavers report that the emperor’s suit is finished.
They mime dressing him and he sets off in a procession before the whole city. The townsfolk uncomfortably go along with the pretense, not wanting to appear inept or stupid, until a child blurts out that the emperor is wearing nothing at all.
The people then realize that everyone has been fooled.
Although startled, the emperor continues the procession, walking more proudly than ever.

How Did We Get Into All This?

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#how
updated 29 January 2021

It is complicated. In times when people face existential threats (losing their health, work, or even their own life), government announcements “don’t make any sense” and conspiracy theories are abundant – and it is difficult to figure out what are news, fake or biased news, and what news we never hear about. Confusion and uncertainty spread and make it difficult to think clearly and to see the situation objectively.

Journalist Roberto Saviano, who has dedicated his career to exposing the Italian mafia, claims that Britain is the most corrupt country on Earth – not exactly a compliment…
90 per cent of the owners of capital in London have their headquarters offshore. Where there is a lot of money, there is also a lot of influence and lobbying.
The British government and politicians have frequently tried to hide misconduct, and were often caught serving their own interests rather than that of the people.

Just like the oil industry has been influencing science and media for years through financing research and studies, which unsurprisingly found that human energy consumption and pollution have no major influence in climate change, the pharmaceutical industry has and is using their influence in science, the media and in politics for their advantage.

Following the money explains a lot. Foundations and Trusts are used to avoid paying tax; funding universities and scientific research institutions avoids paying tax; advertising in newspapers and TV will be written off as expenses – internationally. Nothing new so far.

What seems to have happened:
our government – and others – were lured into wouldn’t it be good to be prepared for a possible deadly pandemic? On the 18th of October 2019 a pandemic tabletop exercise Event 201 simulating a “series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions, true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic.” was held in New York.
Of course it’s good to be prepared – so they adopted emergency procedures for the worst case scenario. And when the emergency procedures had been prepared, coronavirus-19 came. The government is influenced by media, corporate interests and corporate science with their agendas.
And some company made more profit than ever during lockdown,
first of all Amazon. From their point of view lockdown is brilliant.

Either the UK government was naive – or incompetent – or they might have had sinister plans, when they decided to pass the Coronavirus Bill in March. They choose to appoint biased scientific advisers on the SAGE committee (consisting of five independent, and 15 not independent members).

Insiders of the banking sector have predicted a crash of the global economies for 2020, as they are not sustainable any more. Might it be too far off to suspect that politicians feel tempted to use the virus as a culprit, and use their emergency legislation for the expected civil unrest after a financial crash?

The virus spread projections and deaths were scaringly high and massively exaggerated by scientists working for institutions or companies who always need research funds and grants. Dramatizing possible virus threats will result in money coming in. Scientists calling for no action, or suggesting to “let the virus run it’s course” are endangering their job and their research department’s budget. This may explain, why relatively few, mostly retired scientists oppose the official narrative.

Most of the main stream media are directly or indirectly influenced by advertisement revenue or somehow biased by being part of a big international profit orientated investors. For example, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been funding the BBC nearly every year, last in 2019:

BBC Media Action2019Empower Women and GirlsGlobal Growth & Opportunity$2,034,790
Awarded grants by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
BBC Media Action2019Water, Sanitation and HygieneGlobal Growth & Opportunity$2,994,305
Awarded grants by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

The Guardian received $5,686,494 in 2011, $550,000 in 2016, $2,893,865 in 2017 and $150,000 in 2018 from the B&M Gates Foundation. No articles criticising vaccine safety were published in the last 10 years.

Independent Critics & Questions

HealthTruth.info/weve-got-it-all-wrong-fighting-the-virus/#critics

There are many critical voices disputing the lockdown, the emergency legislation and the covid-19 procedures imposed by officials (some are quoted on this web site above); they are often retired (without fear of losing their job) or work independently.
In the UK government’s advisory group SAGE only five out of 20 members are independent; what advice can we expect?

Powerful editorial in the British Medical Journal Fri 13 Nov, by Kamran Abbasi, executive editor:
bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4425
“Science is being suppressed for political and financial gain. Covid-19 has unleashed state corruption on a grand scale, and it is harmful to public health. Politicians and industry are responsible for this opportunistic embezzlement. So too are scientists and health experts. The pandemic has revealed how the medical-political complex can be manipulated in an emergency—a time when it is even more important to safeguard science…..”
Politicians and governments are suppressing science. They do so in the public interest, they say, to accelerate availability of diagnostics and treatments. They do so to support innovation, to bring products to market at unprecedented speed. Both of these reasons are partly plausible; the greatest deceptions are founded in a grain of truth. But the underlying behaviour is troubling…”
“The UK’s pandemic response relies too heavily on scientists and other government appointees with worrying competing interests, including shareholdings in companies that manufacture covid-19 diagnostic tests, treatments, and vaccines. Government appointees are able to ignore or cherry pick science—another form of misuse—and indulge in anti-competitive practices that favour their own products and those of friends and associates…”
“When good science is suppressed, people die.”
