Coffee & Covid – LONG TERM EFFECTS
March 28 | Posted by mrossol | Childers, Coronavirus🗞*COVID NEWS AND COMMENTARY* 🗞
📉 According to CNBC, Joe Biden’s job approval ratings are down -3% from January, which had already set the lowest polling point in his presidency. Meaning, his numbers are even MORE historically low now. Maybe if Biden had REALLY ended the pandemic on March 1st during his State of the Union, his poll numbers would be better. But now he’s mired in the slough of Ukraine and keeps himself busy warning Americans that because of his excellent Ukraine plans there will be food shortages WITHOUT EXPLAINING A PLAN TO DEAL WITH IT.
Hint: when you have bad news, break the bad news along WITH a plan. That reassures people that you know what you’re doing.
📈 It’s happening in Spain now, too. According to official data, 82% of all Covid patients are fully jabbed, and 92% of all Covid deaths there are fully jabbed, which is really harshing the narrative that the shots protect folks from serious illness and death. In Spain, 81.66% of the population has been fully vaccinated. Do the math.
I know you probably find it hard to believe that the experts were wrong about something related to the jabs. But none of the clinical trials supporting vaccine approval measured or were even intended to measure hospitalizations and deaths. The jabs’ clinical trials only measured infections. There have been no randomized clinical trials confirming that any of the vaccines prevented or even reduced hospitalization or deaths from Covid-19.
The only measurement that the FDA relied on to approve the vaccines for emergency use — infections — turned out to be wrong. But they’re still approved, on this anecdotal suggestion that the jabs prevent serious illness and deaths. Let’s run a clinical trial and see what happens. That’s science, right?
🔥 President Trump filed a sweeping 108-page RICO lawsuit Thursday against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and others, alleging that they “maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that he was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty [Russia]” to try and rig the 2016 election. The suit claims up to $24 million in damages.
I haven’t furnished reading it yet, but the details so far are unsurprising given everything we know. President Trump filed the lawsuit on Thursday in the Southern District of Florida. We’ll keep an eye on it.
🔥 Last week Governor DeSantis signed a new bill into law which requires high schoolers to take a financial literacy course to graduate. The proposed course covers issues like credit scores, calculating federal income taxes, checkbook balancing, and so on. It amazes me that something like this took so long.
🔥 The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report on “Learning Loss During the Pandemic,” finding that 1.1 million U.S. students did not show up for school AT ALL during closures. Thanks, experts!
🔥 The New York Times — of all places — ran a surprising article last week headlined, “Trying to Solve a Covid Mystery: Africa’s Low Death Rates.” It’s a mystery! The sub-headline reads, “The coronavirus was expected to devastate the continent, but higher-income and better-prepared countries appear to have fared far worse.”
Well, well, well.
The Times reported population studies showed that about two-thirds of the population in most sub-Saharan countries already have Covid antibodies. Since only 14 percent of the population has received any kind of Covid vaccination, the antibodies must be overwhelmingly from natural infection.
The bottom line is, the experts have no ideas why low-jabbed Africa is doing so much better than countries with well-developed corporate hospital systems and high jab rates. No ideas at all. The experts are baffled. Again. The article explored and rejected a series of possibilities, like whether a large number of deaths had somehow gone unreported in Africa. But, according to an expert cited for the story, “it was clear there had been no tide of desperately sick people.”
Because of previous scares like Ebola, Africa has one of the most highly-developed infection tracking systems in the world. It’s not like they aren’t keeping track.
The story concludes that Africans should STILL get the shots, of course. “Because at this point, it’s not for those people: It’s to try to prevent new variants,” an expert explained. “A new variant as infectious as Omicron but more lethal than Delta could yet emerge, he warned, leaving Africans vulnerable unless vaccination rates increased significantly.”
Sure. New variants. You never know. Jabs now, jabs later, jabs forever.
📊 *COVID IN FLORIDA AND ALACHUA COUNTY* 📊
We have a new Covid report from the State of Florida, now published every other week, and it shows the numbers continuing to recede. The first noteworthy item is that we might have expected to see the next seasonal uptick beginning, but instead, numbers are still dropping, and are now below the prior trough’s low point.
In particular, daily national Covid admissions fell below 500 for the first time ever. I suspect this is a result of the new CDC rules for reporting hospitalizations “for” Covid and not just “with” Covid.
The next report will be significant. Will the numbers keep falling or will we see the seasonal Spring wave picking up? I can’t wait!
Have a marvelous Monday, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow for more.
