Listening to the Dark Horse Podcast this morning with Bret Weinstein and his wife Heather, they cite a paper from 2009 that postulates that the cause of death in the 1919 Spanish Flu was not the flu itself but the overuse of aspirin, especially by the military. It appears that the world panicked about the flu especially because so many soldiers died from it, that health authorities began prescribing aspirin doses about 20 grams. That's a toxic dose. Aspirin had recently become generic and thus was widely available and became the drug of choice for treating the Spanish flu. You can find the discussion by Bret and Heather on your favorite platform and even the Big Brother, Big Sister censorship platform of YouTube presented by the Google evil empire.

The latest stats that I have heard from Europe is that almost all countries have all cause mortality rates higher than 20% with Germany leading the way with 36% above the baseline.

Long ago I came to the conclusion that AIDS was not a disease. I have been arguing in the wilderness that the HIV retro-virus was not the cause of AIDS. I have read several papers by Peter Duesburg over the years, and I read all the Celia Farber's articles which were published in Spin. Of course, living in the Bay Area, I knew what was going on in San Francisco in the early 80s, and several of my friends died of "AIDS." But I also knew several acupuncturists who were treating AIDs patients and I read every article that I could find regarding AIDS. By the time it started appearing in the mainstream press, I knew already that it was hype and nothing more. I recall Ted Koppel trying to force two officials from the CDC to say that AIDS was spreading throughout society, especially to heterosexual women. But the CDC officials would not be bullied and they said that AIDS was found in two populations, needle users and gay men and was usually reserved to neighborhoods. I believe Celia Farber once wrote an article for Spin in which she demonstrated that AIDS was rampant in certain zip codes and was not spreading beyond that.

I particularly remember an article from the San Francisco Chronicle. The headline stated that AIDS had increased 40% from 1982-1983. I poured through this newspaper article until I got to the end. There it stated the actual statistics. In 1982, there had been three cases of AIDS among heterosexual women in the San Francisco Bay Area, but in 1983 it had increased to five heterosexual women diagnosed with AIDS. When you read distortions like that, you have to question everything you read in mass media.

I want to cite a friend about the same time. He went to a rock concert in San Francisco one night, and the next morning we were at work, and he was reading the review of the concert. He said, I don't think that this guy went to the concert at all. He's gotten nothing right. It feels like he made it all up. It's not the same concert that I went to. Then, he said something that stuck with me ever since. If they can't get a review of a concert right, how can they get the big news stories right?

Last month, I bought VIP tickets to a K-Pop concert for my sixteen year old daughter and her best friend. The concert took place in the Mercedes Arena in Berlin. I think the girls had a great time. They came home exhausted and elated. The next day, my daughter came into the living room and complained to me about the review of the concert that she was reading on line. As she was reading, she realized that there was a middle aged German dude eating in the VIP section where they were watching the concert. That was the reviewer who was critical of the boys in the group and found the entire evening distasteful. He especially disdained the screaming chicks who seemed to worship the vocalists in the band. My daughter realized that she was the "screaming chick" from the review but she said that the group was brilliant, talented, and wonderful. She was both offended and insulted by the review and her small role in the criticism, abashed by the judgement of a boring dad type.

We must respect Dr Yeadon, but I do believe there is a SARs-CoV-2 virus that is somewhat unique to the family of corona. OTOH, the mRNA vaccines are perhaps more dangerous than the virus. But I have lost all trust in the NIH to be honest about anything surrounding the various decisions that were made, including development of the miracle vaccine that wasn't.

People became ill and developed flu-like symptoms except different - loss of taste/smell. And PCR does what it's designed to do and matched the viral signature if cycle counts were <20-30. But there was also a huge psyop to persuade us of a risk that wasn't accurately defined. Still, my daughter tells me she must forgo visits with a friend because the friend demands constant masking - "to protect her 90 yo mum". So there remain a number of people who think masks work. Likewise, some think the vaccine has worked, at least so far.

I hope ne day we get a straight story. Not holding my breath.
