COVID Junk Science Crumbling; GoFundMe FAIL


Government officials are starting to treat COVID-related junk science like a mask they've sneezed in: quietly dropping it, trying not to be noticed.

Here's the White House press secretary saying the Biden administration never supported lockdowns. (They just wanted you fired for not taking an experimental injection.) 


Here's the State of Indiana obliquely saying that vaccination doesn't prevent spread. Note that the top of the isolation and quarantine flow chart says "regardless of vaccination status." 

 


Come to think of it, I haven't seen a tweet or heard their ad recommending vaccination in a while. 

It doesn't look like the vaccines are doing much of anything anymore, based on data compiled and calculated from the state's coronavirus website and the Regenstrief hospitalization website (click to enlarge):


The breakthrough hospitalization rate is more in line with Denmark and England. The huge jump might be explained by the 87% breakthrough rate of cases the previous week--or maybe it was Indiana's attorney general "asking questions and raising concerns" over reported COVID statistics.

The AG is also raising concerns over GoFundMe. The organizers of the trucker convoy in Canada set up a GoFundMe account to cover expenses for their protest. After donors gave them $10 million, GoFundMe distributed $1 million to the organizers, then closed the account stating the protest had turned into an occupation. They announced their plan to offer refunds and give whatever remained of the $9 million to charities of its choice. I'm not a CPA, but I don't think charities are legally allowed to do whatever they want with allocated funds. But GoFundMe isn't buggo on law OR order.

I'm old enough to remember when GoFundMe was bailing rioters out of jail back in 2020. Andy Ngo recalls when GoFundMe supported squatters, domestic terrorist groups, and someone who assaulted him in 2019 and Jack Posobiac points out that GoFundMe supported CHAZ/CHOP after people were murdered there. So 1) GoFundMe having a bee in their bonnet over parking violations, honking and whatever it is that "police are investigating" beggars belief, and 2) giving the truckers' money to someone else is stealing. 

GoFundMe beat a retreat: they're actively refunding the money to the donors to "make it easier for them." Right--after tweets all over Twitter advised the donors to do "charge backs" instead of refunds, making GoFundMe incur bank fees. Now, at least two attorneys general (Indiana's and Florida's) are now looking into the organization. And yes, contrary to the ignorati on Twitter, they have jurisdiction since GoFundMe is based in the US and some of the donors live here.

The fundraiser is now at GiveSendGo, where a stampede of donors ddos (denial of service) attack crashed their site. It is back up and running slowly, but the convoy raised over $1 million in one day. 

I've watched a few live streams of the protest. Elsewhere on social media I saw one nazi flag and (oddly for Canada) one Confederate flag among thousands of protestors, but all I saw in the live streams where Viva Frei was walking around were Canadian flags and signs opposing the mandates and their prime minister. People of various backgrounds--white, black, Sikh, Inuit, Muslim--were dancing, walking around, talking; a few people were building a small soup kitchen that looked like a food stand. People were shoveling the sidewalks and trash was in trash bags. Even last night--a Friday night--nobody looked drunk or disorderly. He walked around the Senate building and didn't find any graffiti; he walked by the Terry Fox statue this morning, where people had put flowers.

Clearly, this protest offended something besides GoFundMe's decency or by-the-book enforcement of terms of service. Let's hope that GoFundMe goes the way of lockdowns and vaccine mandates.

Fermented bread and butter pickle recipe ft. L. Plantarum

After Dr. Davis said the other night that  L. plantarum  may reduce some of the effects of the herbicide glyphosate (which is everywhere), I'm re-running my recipe for fermented bread and butter pickles. Pickling cucumbers naturally have  L. plantarum  bacteria on them, and fermenting them with some brown sugar multiplies these bacteria. (Just don't use chlorinated water to wash them.) And if you're growing your own cucumbers, avoid spraying the fruits with  Bacillus thuringiensis , or Bt (leaves and vines are OK). It's unclear what effect a big dose of Bt would have on humans. Another benefit of DIY pickles: no emulsifiers like polysorbate 80, which is a common ingredient in pickles. If you have GI problems, it could be from emulsifiers. These sweet-and-sour pickles are the tastiest I've ever made. There's just a little added sugar (some of which the bacteria will consume) and turmeric that gives the pickles their bright color.  Special equipment Quar...

Collagen-filled Low Carb Burritos

Low-carb, grain-free Mexican food is hard to find, but it's easy to make your own at home. This recipe has an authentic ingredient: carne de lengua, or beef tongue. Don't be put off: beef tongue is tender, delicious, and full of collagen. Look for it directly from farmers in your area. To cook it, cut it in 1" to 1-1/2" slices and pressure cook for one hour. Enjoy the delicious broth as a bonus. Ingredients 1 slice cooked beef tongue, peeled and cut into small cubes 1 egg wrap (I use these  from Egglife) 1/4 cup cooked black or pinto beans Chili pepper Oregano Garlic (powdered or minced) Cumin Guacamole (with no emulsifiers) Salsa Shredded cheddar cheese Sour cream or homemade cream cheese  with no emulsifiers  Put the egg wrap on a plate and put the beef and beans down the middle of it.

Carrageenan: A Sickening Thickener. Is it a Migraine Menace?

Let me tell you about my ride in an ambulance last night. I woke up at six o'clock from a nap with a mild headache. I ate dinner and took my vitamins, along with a couple of extra magnesium pills. Since magnesium helps my TMJ flare-ups, I thought it might help my headache. Then I went to see my mother. A few hours later, I had a severe headache, sinus pain and nausea. During a brief respite from the pain, I left for home, but less than a mile later, I got out of my car and threw up. A cop, Officer Fisher, pulled up behind me and asked if I was okay. He believed me when he said I hadn't been drinking, but he said I seemed lethargic and he wanted the paramedics to see me. (Later he mentioned that a man he'd recently stopped was having a stroke.) Thinking I had a migraine headache, the paramedics wanted to take me to the hospital. But since I knew that doctors don't know what causes migraine headaches, and I didn't know what effect their medicine would have on m...

Getting Over Palpitations

Note to new readers: please note I'm not a health care provider and have no medical training. If you have heart palpitations, I have no idea whether the following will work for you. Over the past several days, I've had a rough time with heart palpitations and feeling physically jittery. I was wondering if I was going to turn into one of those people who can't sit still. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it would be a major lifestyle change. Kidding aside, something wasn't right and I really needed to get back to normal. I tried popping potassium pills like candy. I ate more. I doubled up on my iron dose. I went to yoga and even got on the treadmill at 6 AM yesterday. I tried the nuclear option of eating more carbs to stop peeing away minerals. Most of these things helped, but the problem kept coming back. A comment from Galina made me look up epinephrine, one of the drugs my surgeon used to anesthetize me Friday. First, the assistant at the surge...
