New FAA cardiac health rules not prompted by COVID-19 shots




CLAIM: The Federal Aviation Administration loosened the requirements that airline pilots must meet for cardiac health because a large number have heart damage caused by the COVID-19 vaccines.
https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-faa-pilots-heart-covid-373861551
871

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. In October, the FAA widened the acceptable parameters it uses when screening pilots for a specific heart condition, the agency said in a statement to The Associated Press. However, the FAA explained that this change was made in response to new scientific evidence about the condition from its cardiology consultants, not adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines.

Trump’s Policies Resulted In The Unnecessary Deaths Of Hundreds Of Thousands Of Americans: Lancet Report

Decades of policy failures that the Trump Administration exacerbated resulted in more than 450,000 unnecessary American deaths in 2018, with tens of thousands of additional deaths in other years also attributable to President Donald Trump's actions, according to a report published Thursday from a commission of health experts convened by the British medical journal The Lancet.


The Lancet launched the commission on Public Policy and Health in the Trump Era in April 2017, tasking the group with chronicling the administration’s actions.

The commission's analysis found that 461,000 fewer Americans would have died in 2018 if the United States’ death rate had been equivalent to those of the other G-7 nations.

The 49-page report also concludes that Trump’s “hostility” to environmental regulations (including the rollback of at least 84 separate environmental and workplace protections) significantly worsened pollution, resulting in more than 22,000 extra deaths in 2019 alone.

The US is currently running at about 350 COVID deaths per day.

Measured in daily new confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people, the US is doing worse than the other countries on the graph.

Some even suggest +10,400 Russians died of Covid in a region near Ukraine last month? Arab and Czech and Pakistani Mercenary +1,700 died of Covid because they forgot to take the jab before joining their Army-For-Hire?

This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us, Episode 9, “Look for the Light.”

For its entire first season, The Last of Us attempts to sell the audience (and one of the show’s two protagonists, the teenage Ellie) on a promise: that her immunity to the Cordyceps fungus means that her freeze-dried and then crushed-into-powder brain is the main ingredient for a vaccine to save humanity. However, it isn’t until the series’ final episode, “Look for the Light,” that we hear about the actual plan to make that cure from her brain. . . .

After interviewing many scientists, long story short: Ellie doesn’t need to die to save humanity—in fact, it’d be better if she didn’t. Real-life science would preclude the need for Joel’s rampage (to save Ellie's life from the Firefly gang's insane vaccine manufacturing process), a morally queasy deed that acts as both the culmination of Season 1’s plot and the instigating incident that defines the tone of the show’s future. But in a way, this fact-check of the show’s science only further proves the show’s artistic success.

All season long, The Last of Us has depicted a humanity that’s barely worth saving, where, though there are some exemplary people, nearly every attempt at banding together is corrupt and every solitary leader (and beloved gruff guardian) is some varying degree of murderous. The Fireflies’ plan being an awful one fits the show’s worldview perfectly. If you look at the Fireflies’ idea as ridiculous and ill-informed, as these scientists do, this ending is even grimmer. Living through this pandemic has bred a climate of desperation so strong that the hope that something could be the ticket out is more than enough to ignore ethical considerations to try the most fanciful plan. Marlene doesn’t regret killing her friend’s daughter for a chance at a vaccine that’s not likely to work, and Joel doesn’t regret killing the Fireflies to stop it from happening, even though there’s the slimmest chance it could. “Look for the Light” simply drives home the idea that The Last of Us isn’t about surviving a terrifying reality, but rather clinging to the dreams, and people, we use to cope with existing within it.

New DNA analysis adds strong evidence for natural origin of COVID-19 virus

The Atlantic reports https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2023/03/covid-origins-rese
arch-raccoon-dogs-wuhan-market-lab-leak/673390
/ that three researchers have performed a re-analysis of swabs taken at the Huanan Market in Wuhan early in the COVID-19 pandemic. The original analysis, done last year by a Chinese team, drew no conclusions about the origin of the virus, but the new analysis strongly suggests that the virus developed naturally and then jumped to humans from raccoon dogs:

A new analysis of genetic sequences collected from the market shows that raccoon dogs being illegally sold at the venue could have been carrying and possibly shedding the virus at the end of 2019....The genetic sequences were pulled out of swabs taken in and near market stalls around the pandemic’s start. They represent the first bits of raw data that researchers outside of China’s academic institutions and their direct collaborators have had access to.

....Within about half a day of downloading the data from GISAID, [the researchers] discovered that several market samples that tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 were also coming back chock-full of animal genetic material—much of which was a match for the common raccoon dog. Because of how the samples were gathered, and because viruses can’t persist by themselves in the environment, the scientists think that their findings could indicate the presence of a coronavirus-infected raccoon dog in the spots where the swabs were taken.

“This is a really strong indication that animals at the market were infected,” said Seema Lakdawala, a virologist at Emory University who wasn’t involved in the research. “There’s really no other explanation that makes any sense.”

This year 14 percent of adults have received a dose of the new vaccine formulation that became available in September — compared to 28 percent who have gotten a flu shot.

More than 80 percent of all Americans, and more than 90 percent of adults, received at least one dose of the vaccines, remarkable penetration in a country where less than half of people get their flu shot every year.

Ever since that first shot, the public’s interest in subsequent Covid-19 vaccines has been steadily dropping. Less than 70 percent of the US finished their initial two-dose vaccine series. Less than 20 percent of the country received last year’s bivalent booster shot.

Pfizer said in September that it expected about one in four Americans to get the latest shot. Though there is still time, current vaccination rates are well short of that goal. It is an open question how the for-profit pharmaceutical manufacturers who produce these vaccines will respond to what the market is telling them.

Kiki wasn't against the Covid vaccine, so that's not just a shitty thing to say but it's just as stupid as anything else you've ever posted.

JewelStaiteFan had a theory that 1kiki and Signym are the same people: "Kinda curious how, when Kiki has extended absences, it is always at the same times when SignyM is missing, disabled, bedridden due to illness."
http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=58882&mid=1
151133#1151133


My theory is that "1kiki" and "SignyM" are front names for Russians posting from Moscow.

In two months it will be two years since "1kiki" posted anything: http://www.fireflyfans.net/profileshow.aspx?u=41207

It has only been hours since "SignyM" last posted:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/profileshow.aspx?u=1606

"SignyM" would post even more often, but only if Putin would pay a higher wage.

I called bullshit when JSF said that and I'll call it bullshit if you're saying it now.

If Sigs and Kiki are the same person, she'd basically have to have split personality disorder in order to balance the differences between the two.

It's not as if Sigs and I have never argued about anything before, even specifically about Covid itself, but Kiki was on another world with her stance compared to Sigs regarding Covid and the vaccine and even the mandates. Our posts to each other devolved into borderline hate-posting at each other once we dug our heels in on the Covid topics.

All the while, Sigs was somewhere in the middle, agreeing with Kiki on some aspects of Covid/Vaccines and agreeing with me on others.

Basically, she thought I was full of shit when I said Covid wasn't dangerous at all, but she also disagreed with Kiki and took my side when I railed against Biden*'s tyrannical mandate that was costing people their jobs and livelihood.



Bottom line, regarding today's discussion, Ted is an idiot twice over. Once for getting his 15th booster shot today and gloating about it. And twice for claiming that Kiki is dead because she didn't get her boosters.

Who knows? Kiki might not be with us anymore, sad as that would be. But it certainly wasn't because she missed a booster.

I'm CERTAIN she got every single booster available to her so long as she was/is still breathing.

I don't know if she's still alive anymore.

Covid ‘miracle drug' that Donald Trump urged people to take killed 17,000

A Covid "miracle drug" that Donald Trump urged Americans to take has killed nearly 17,000 people, according to a new study.

In the beginning of the pandemic, scientists put their hopes in anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a means to treat the deadly virus.

One scientist even called the drug a "magic bullet" against Covid.

In April 2020, then President Trump advocated for Americans to take the drug and spoke of the "miracle" recovery made by a woman who took it.

Trump said in a Covid Taskforce briefing at the time: "The nice part is, it's been around for a long time...if things don't go as planned, it's not going to kill anybody."
