No, Guardian, Ivermectin Not Discredited by Elgazzar Retraction

Oh yes, Science matters!

The hits against Ivermectin keep on coming.  Dr. Colleen Aldous and Dr. Warren Parker explain this latest smear campaign in their article Ivermectin — front-line doctors vs bureaucrats.  Excerpts in italics with my bolds.

Given the safety profile of Ivermectin, there is nothing to lose and there’s a good possibility of saving many lives and slowing the pandemic

The Ivermectin battle of ideologies on safety and efficacy pits a group of doctors who deal with dying patients every day against bureaucrat academic clinicians. These academic clinicians have dismissed all evidence, favouring a single, large randomised trial that is entirely appropriate for novel drug development but not for pandemics.

This is akin to a person suffering a heart attack and refusing to be taken to hospital in a Toyota, choosing to wait for a Rolls-Royce.

If science is pure, there should not really be a debate, but there is, and…

India’s Ivermectin Blackout: Censorship of Peer-reviewed Analysis

This is so interesting. Please, take the time to read it and then think about it!

Global Research News

News of India’s defeat of the Delta variant should be common knowledge. It is just about as obvious as the nose on one’s face. It is so clear when one looks at the graphs that no one can deny it.

Yet, for some reason, we are not allowed to talk about it. Thus, for example, Wikipedia cannot mention the peer-reviewed meta-analyses by Dr. Tess Lawrie or Dr. Pierre Kory published in the American Journal of Therapeutics. See this.

Wikipedia is not allowed to publish the recent meta-analysis on Ivermectin authored by Dr. Andrew Hill. Furthermore, it is not allowed to say anything concerning www.ivmmeta.com showing the 61 studies comprising 23,000 patients which reveal up to a 96% reduction in death [prophylaxis] with Ivermectin. See this.

One can see the bias in Wikipedia by going on the “talk” pages for…

Interview

World Renowned Doctor Blows Lid off Covid

In this remarkable interview, world renowned cardiologist Dr Peter McCullough describes by himself and a network of hundred doctors in the US and overseas to use early treatment to prevent hospitalization and death. According to McCullough, a US network of 250 doctors along with a dozen telemedicine services provide early outpatient treatment to 10,000 to 15,000 Covid patients daily. Although it receives virtually no mainstream media attention, doctors in Greece, Italy, southern France, Central America, South America, India, and East Asia are reducing Covid death rates by approximately 85% by offering similar similar treatments.

McCullough worked closely with doctors in Italy (which experienced one the earliest Covid outbreaks) to develop the treatment protocols he uses. They usually combine what he refers to as “sequenced multidrug therapy.” Treatment regimens consist of a “neutriceutical bundle…

How COVID-19 vaccines trigger an immune response

ABC Health & Wellbeing / 

By health reporter Olivia WillisPosted Wed 18 Aug 2021 at 5:00amWednesday 18 Aug 2021 at 5:00am, updated Wed 18 Aug 2021 at 10:13am

How do vaccines mimic a virus?

In order to train our bodies to recognise pathogens (and fight them off down the track), vaccines introduce our immune system to part of a pathogen — known as an “antigen” — which triggers an immune response.

This antigen might be a weakened or inactivated virus, or it might be just one part of a pathogen — for example, the spike protein found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 (used by the virus to latch onto and enter human cells).

Traditional vaccines, including some COVID-19 jabs, deliver antigens directly to the body.

But other COVID-19 vaccines, such as the Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca jabs, use different technology.

Instead of delivering the antigen itself, the vaccines contain a genetic blueprint (or set of instructions) that tell the body to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein using the body’s own cells.

To do this, the Pfizer and Moderna jabs contain a single strand of genetic material — that’s the mRNA or messenger RNA — which is encapsulated in a protective fatty coating.

The AstraZeneca vaccine, on the other hand, contains double-stranded DNA, which is carried into the body via a weakened version of a common cold virus, engineered so it doesn’t replicate.

Single glass vial of AstraZeneca vaccine sits in front of multiple packages of the same vaccine.
The genetic instructions in the AstraZeneca vaccine come in the form of DNA, which is much more stable than mRNA.(Pixabay)

“The DNA gets taken up by your cells, that DNA then encodes the mRNA, and then it turns into a protein … which is what your body is going to respond to,” says Stuart Tangye, an immunologist from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.

“The mRNA vaccine just skips that first step.”

The Military Failures of General George Washington

I think it is fascinating to study a bit American history!

A Skeptic’s Guide to American History (2012)

Episode 4: Washington’s Failures and Real Accomplishments

Film Review

Rarely taught in public schools, General George Washington’s military shortcomings during the US War of Independence are the main focus of this presentation.

Unlike most US generals, Washington wasn’t a professional soldier. A Virginia* planter and slave holder, he joined the Virginia colony militia in 1754 and inadvertently started the French and Indian War.**

The Continental Congress chose Washington to lead the Continental Army because they hope the involvement of a high profile Virginian would inspire other Southern colonies to support what began as a New England insurrection in 1775.

The first of Washington’s major military blunders included his 1775 order for his best general Benedict Arnold to take Quebec. More than a third of Arnold’s men were forced to turn back due to their inexperience navigating Canada’s swampy tangle of lakes, streams and…

Alberta is officially Open for Summer

Maybe we should think about it, how this works! 🙂

I want to include now some more recent news:

NEWS RELEASE

Alberta is officially Open for Summer

Virtually all COVID-19 restrictions are now lifted as Alberta leads Canada by entering Stage 3 of the Open for Summer Plan.

As of July 1, Albertans are now free to gather indoors and outdoors, places of worship and businesses can operate at full capacity, the provincial mask mandate is repealed, and people can safely get back to doing all of the activities they enjoy.

To date, 72.8 per cent of eligible Albertans have received their first dose of vaccine, and 42.4 per cent have received both doses, offering a strong level of community protection in the province. Alberta Health estimates that 50 per cent of eligible Albertans will be fully immunized by July 6.

Mandatory isolation and quarantine rules remain in place, and masking is still required in hospitals, continuing care, mass transit, ride shares, and taxis.

1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed (Eric Cline, PhD)

auntyuta's avatarAuntyUta

From about 1500 BC to 1200 BC, the Mediterranean region played host to a complex cosmopolitan and globalized world-system. It may have been this very internationalism that contributed to the apocalyptic disaster that ended the Bronze Age. When the end came, the civilized and international world of the Mediterranean regions came to a dramatic halt in a vast area stretching from Greece and Italy in the west to Egypt, Canaan, and Mesopotamia in the east. Large empires and small kingdoms collapsed rapidly. With their end came the world’s first recorded Dark Ages. It was not until centuries later that a new cultural renaissance emerged in Greece and the other affected areas, setting the stage for the evolution of Western society as we know it today. Professor Eric H. Cline of The George Washington University will explore why the Bronze Age came to an end and whether the collapse of those…

RESILIENT LIVING: What Would a Complete Supply Chain Breakdown Really Look Like? – By Aden Tate

…Grocery stores rely on just-in-time systems to get their food to their customers.

  • “…Grocery stores rely on just-in-time systems to get their food to their customers. On average, this means that a grocery store has roughly a week’s worth of food within its four walls at any given time. However, remember that this is a week’s worth of food in normal circumstances. As the 2020 toilet paper situation showed, once people fear they can’t get more of something, they stock up. Therefore, a week’s worth of food at the grocery store can be gone in a matter ofdays or hours”

Cyber Polygon 2020 examined the threat of a complete supply chain breakdown. But what does that mean? Is it just no more toilet paper? Or is it something more sinister?
