In an understatement of the century, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky recently summed up her agency’s role in promoting distrust in science by stating that they did not “reliably meet expectations.”
I bet by now you guys heard about "athletes" and other active (no old) people collapsing. perhaps heart issues??? But I bet you didn't hear one single politician having these problems, right?
The CDC Swamp just doubled in depth. CDC just appointed Nirav Shah to its #2 position. He is a protege of the Soros Empire (Recipient of a Paul & Daisy Soros Med Fellowship - Paul is George's brother). His handling of COVID in Maine: Fauci adoration; Tight dictatorial control of data; Press conference master made Saint by media
An article in The Maine Monitor by Samantha Hogan (June7, 2019) states:
“Janet Mills states: “The Department conducted an exhaustive, national search, and based on Dr. Shah’s credentials, I believe Commissioner Lambrew has selected a superbly qualified individual to lead the Maine CDC.”
But recent findings by Pine Tree Watch paint his four-year tenure there in a far different light:
Shah was severely criticized for his handling of repeated fatal outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease – a form of pneumonia caused by a waterborne bacteria – at the state-run Illinois Veterans Home from 2015 to 2018. In all, 13 people died; 74 residents, volunteers and staff were sickened; and more were suspected of having contracted a non-fatal variation of the bacterial infection.
The criticism started when Shah did not notify families or the public about the initial outbreak in 2015 for six days, despite suspecting an epidemic of Legionnaires’ was beginning at the veterans home. That outbreak sickened more than 56 people and contributed to the death of 12 veterans that year.
The state of Illinois and the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs are being sued by 12 families of the veterans who died from complications of Legionnaires’. None of the families has settled with the state.
A grand jury in Illinois subpoenaed hundreds of records from Shah’s department related to its handling and response to the outbreaks.
Illinois lawmakers and U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, both Illinois Democrats, repeatedly called for Shah to resign after a botched water-system repair at the veterans home came to light, information was withheld from the public, and the home wasn’t issued a safety violation citation.”
IDEALIZATION AND IDOLIZATION:
Despite being embroiled in a 3 year turmoil as Director of Illinois Department Health, here in Maine Dr. Shah enjoys an almost rock star status with a Facebook fan page of more than 37,000 adoring fans called “Fans of Dr. Nirav Shah.”
The only problem with comparing policy is that it does not examine what the people actually did. I was not required to wear a mask but many people I know did, including me. I never got Covid because I always masked up. But that does not prove they were totally effective. Policy aside I have seen no controlled study. Let’s face it, I won’t. Who is going to volunteer to go in a room of Covid people without a mask as the control group.
This has been a very, very difficult 3 years for people like myself who have some understanding of medical stats and the ability to read and interpret stats. In late 2019, I watched the actual data coming out of Italy, and then the cruise ship that brought covid to the US. In both cases, it was obvious covid had basically the same risk as the flu. Less for younger people, more for older (85+).
Now, 3 years later, the worldwide data shows a case fatality rate of about 1%. That means an infection fatality rate of about 0.2%. Actual infections always exceed confirmed cases by about 5x, for obvious reasons. It has almost 0% risk for anyone under 45. Even for a 75 year old, the actuarial tables show a 5% chance of death within 12 months just because they are old, versus a 3% chance of death if they contract covid.
On top of that, I have some education in public health. Every single public health student learns generic masks don't work for respiratory viruses. The MPH candidates I went to school with used to laugh at Asian countries for wearing masks, as did the professors. Moreover, the Spanish flu proved this to be true in real life. Everyone wore masks; they did nothing. The Washington Post even reported this, but no one paid attention.
For a mask to work against an airborn virus, it would have to be designed to stop something 500x smaller than the diameter of a human hair. If there is even one small crack in the seal of the mask, that creates a superhighway for the virus. It's idiotic to wear even N95s that haven't been personally fitted and replaced with every wearing. Even more idiotic to basically don a thong or a paper napkin on one's face and expect it to stop the spread. That's magical thinking, like Linus with his blankie.
Somehow, none of these actual medical facts, which have been known for 100+ years, mattered to the fear-mongering CDC, NIH, and media. The more fear, the more "vaccines" sold.
Further (sorry, this is long), anyone with common sense should have known we've been trying to find a vaccine for the cold and flu for decades, with no real success. To think they could magically create an effective and safe vaccine in just months is magical thinking. Our current flu "vaccines" have poor efficacy. In their best years, they are about 40% effective. 0% in their worst years. Usually closer to 0 than 40. It's all junk science. Just like Pharma's science regarding mental health meds and Alzheimers - both of which we found this past year have been completely fraudulent.
We need a wholesale tear down of the medical system and a full rebuild. All of this was beyond ridiculous. Like a dystopian novel come to life. And it falls at the feet of the "experts," and I'd argue the Good Germans who enabled the government to do this.
They're still running the same playbook. One is not to comment on a perfectly healthy man or woman collapsing, perhaps dying, of cardiac arrest. Especially if that comment is about the Bug Juice.
Good article. But imo it’s far bigger than that. If you can distrust the foundations of science and importantly, the scientific method, then what other societal structures come into question? I’ve always had issues with “settled science” which is anathema to the scientific method. But we all know that’s hallowed ground, so I won’t go there.
But like a trifecta box at the racetrack, this episode removed even modicum trust I had in MSM and politicians of any color uniform and jersey.
Now of course every gaslit presser with the Psaki and KJP page turners is a complete farce. I always knew pols were clowns, but not with my level of seething contempt that borders on unhealthy.
As a wagering man, like most market denizens, every conspiracy theory is now the favorite rather than the underdog. Skepticism turns to cynicism.
Have you read the records of Congress it smells like conspiracy all the way. If there could be no conspiracy, why not remove crimes of conspiracy from the Statutes? Sadly, conspiracies exists and they are rampant.
Medicine has returned to the Dark Ages. A Reformation is on the way.
Good analogy.
I hope somebody introduces you to a comment ban. Nobody cares about once (AFAIK) but every other comment. Ban 🔨

Nor Gates, Soros, Klaus, Trudeau, Gavin on and on.
Lord we must have justice 🙏🏼
Governments don’t apologize. That’s why gov should be small.
The Covid-1984 Plandemic was the beta test. Wait until the WHO treaty is signed in May 2024 ... then the real Plandemic will roll out.

Excellent work
great read, and so true

Missed this one earlier but will be linking it today from Brownstone's site @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Thanks for sharing!!!
Considering Gates is one of the largest donors to the CDC, why in the Heck would honesty be expected!?
CDC is a Corrupt organization, zero oversight.
All these agencies are liars and bow to the donors.
Eradication is the only way out.
can I opt out of cdc oversight?

The sun rose this morning because I did the Sun Dance last night.
I would.
Here is an excellent example.
If you can smell a fart through your underwear and jeans…..
A little China , chemical tainted mask will do zero.
If you can breathe in the mask, than you are not protected.
The size of a virus gets in.
Look on the box. Says it will not protect you.
Wearing a mask is the same as Linus and his security blanket. Period
it is stunted, subsidized, science that sets not well with us because it so skewed by moniies taken from us under the guise of protecting us.

Push back at cdc the stupid cops everyone of them.
