Podcasts about sars covid

**Discussion begins at 4:50**2020 will be a year that lives in infamy for our generation.  It is the year the workers were asked to stay home and children asked not to go to school.  It is the year that healthcare workers showing up to work in unprecedented times fighting a virus that they didn't know how to fight.  It is the year of "don't wear a mask and don't worry" to "wear a mask, wash your groceries, and oh my gosh - it could spread through your eyeballs".  It was a pivotal election year.  It was a year with protests and riots were rampant.  It is the year of fear, and hysteria, and TikTok popping off.  And all of that leads back to a pesky virus called SARS-COVID-2, or as people know it - COVID-19.  So where did this virus start?  Is there still controversy over the origin story?  What does the trail of money say?  And mostly, was the government just covering up a huge, colossal mistake?  Let's travel back in time to revisit the story of COVID-19.  Don't worry, no mask is required while listening to this podcast.  Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

一、【20240428人間菩提】 疫情是給予我們一個很大的教育的提醒，從SARS到COVID-19疫情，以及近日的百日咳疫情警報，許多的疾病不知從何而來，面對疫情人人應該保持戒慎恐懼。病從口入，不只是僅僅空間的感染，是口自己去吃來感染，這為了口，對大地破壞、傷殺多少生命，因此我們該減少口欲，盡量素食。 醫師是大教育家，對人間生命如何保健、如何守護，這是天降大任於斯人也，所以醫師、醫王，真正的就要承擔起這個責任。疫情在這個時代發生，這是對我們一個很大的教育，也給我們很大的考驗。醫療的教育要很用心，如何來培養大醫王，不是教他醫療的常識而已，最重要的那個仁德、仁心，醫德。 二、心蓮朵朵開 美容美心，泉泰行的老闆娘黃美綢與慈濟志工黃秀真分享發生火災時各界的協助，也願讓這份愛傳遞出去，及加入愛心商店的因緣。

Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we are going to dive deep into some wild situations. The first one being that the CIA has whistleblower come out and said that the CIA was actually paying off It's analysts to bury the findings that COVID was a lab leak, literally giving. Their own analysts, financial incentives to switch their opinions on whether or not that was the case. So we read about that, then we will discuss Russell Brand, who is in the news for some not so good things. Some reports coming out and accusations regarding some sexual assault allegations and potentially even worse, he was actually had his YouTube channel suspended or D demonetized today. So we'll discuss. That as a result. And then going a little bit deeper into that, we're going to look at the Mormon Church actually denouncing Tim Ballard. Tim Ballard being the once founder of Operation Underground Railroad. Also the person who is depicted in the movie, the Sound of Freedom, which we've talked about at length here before. So we'll look at what these allegations are, why they denounced him, and. Tim Ballard had a response to this that he did a video on this guy with his PRs is pretty, pretty wild stuff. So we'll look at that. After that, we'll look at a Texas church talking about churches Texas church, which is experimenting with AI generated services using chat GPT for worship sermon and original songs. That is one of the most dystopian things that I've ever heard. So, we'll discuss that. Now, again, as always, the longer you stay with me, the deeper we get. So, after that, we'll discuss the findings of the Mexican doctors who concluded after their tests were done on the alleged non human alien Corpses. So we have their findings on that. So if you don't know, we haven't talked about this yet here because we had a little bit of a layoff over the last couple of weeks for several reasons. But what happened was Mexico had a congressional hearing where there was two alleged alien bodies, which were shown at the congressional hearing. And they look every bit of ET that you could imagine. So what ended up happening is these Mexican doctors actually did a, some tests on these bodies and we'll see, I haven't read this yet, so we'll see what they actually found. And then, last but not least, this is a story that has been surfacing. Pretty consistently somewhat recently regarding, if you recall, Malaysia Air, I believe it was Malaysia Air 370. That was a airplane which had gotten lost, you know, we go all the way back to 2000 and, let's see. This was filmed in 2014, yeah, lost in 2014, I believe. Now there's some really big deep dives that some people did into this situation. And they came up with some pretty wild stuff. And we'll discuss it all. But first, I need you to head over to the substack Austin Adams dot substack calm, go ahead and get signed up.

And let's jump into it. The Adams archive. All right. The very first thing that we're going to discuss today is going to be that the CIA had a whistleblower come out and say that the CIA was paying off its own analysts to bury the findings that COVID was a lab leak from Wuhan. China. So let's read this article. It comes from the New York Post and it says, the Central Intelligence Agency offered to pay off analysts in order to bury their findings. That Covid most likely was from a lab in Wuhan China. A new whistleblower testimony to Congress alleges, and this goes on to say that a senior. Level CIA officer told house committee leaders that his agency tried to pay off six analysts who found that SARS COVID 2 likely originated in a Wuhan lab. And if they changed their position and said that this, the virus jumped from animals to humans, according to a letter sent Tuesday to CIA director, William Burns. Select committee on the coronavirus pandemic chairman, Brad one strap and. Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner requested all the documents, communications, and pay info from the CIA's COVID Discovery Team by September 26th. So they're actually going to be doing further investigation into this, thankfully, and that will be in just about a week's time. So we'll have to see what comes up from that. According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID 19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The house. Panel chairman wrote. That's crazy. Six out of the seven people on this specific team believed that the virus came from a lab leak, and the CIA wanted to hush every one of them, and they tried to do so by incentivizing them, allegedly, With money. So now they're pulling all of those financial hearings. Now we actually have the document from Congress which says. Which is comes from the Honorable William J. Burns says to select to Director Burns to the Select Committee of the Coronavirus pandemic and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence together. The committees have received new and concerning whistleblower testimony regarding the agency's investigation into the origins of COVID 19. A multi decade, senior level, current agency officer has come forward to provide information to the committees regarding the agency's analysis into the origins of COVID 19. According to the whistleblower, the agency assigned seven officers to a COVID discovery team. The team consisted of multidisciplinary and experienced officers with significant scientific expertise. According to the whistleblower, at the... End of its review, six of the seven members of the team believed that the intelligence and science were severe sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID 19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The seventh member of the team who also happened to be the most senior was the lone officer to believe that COVID 19 originated through zoonosis. The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a sufficient or significant monetary incentive to change their position. These allegations from a seemingly credible source requires the committees to conduct further oversight of how the CIA handled its internal investigations into the origins of COVID 19. To assist the committees, and again, this is What they actually wrote to Congress with their investigations. We request the following documents and information as soon as possible, but no later than September 26, 2023, all documents and communications regarding the establishment of all iterations of the COVID discovery teams. All documents and communications between or among the members of all iterations of the COVID discovery team regarding the origins of COVID 19 and all documents and communications between or among members of all iterations of the COVID discovery team and other employees or contractors of the agency regarding the origins of COVID 19all documents and communications between them or among members of all iterations. Including but not limited to the US Department of State, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the US Department of Health and Human Services to include the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the US Department of Energy regarding the origins of Covid 19. And lastly, all documents and communications regarding the pay history to include the awarding of any type of financial or performance-based incentive financial bonuses to members of all iterations of the C Ovid 19 discovery team. The select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic is authorized to investigate the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, including but not limited to the federal government's funding of gain of function research and executive branch policies, deliberations, decisions, activities, and internal or external communications related to the COVID coronavirus pandemic. Whew, that's a mouthful. Further house rule. 11 Clause 2 and 1B grants committees of the House of Representatives with the authority to require by subpoena or otherwise the attendance and testimony of such witnesses in the production of such books, records, correspondence, memorandums, papers, and documents as it considers necessary should the required information not be produced in an expeditious or satisfactory manner. You should expect the committee or committees to use its additional tools and authorities to satisfy our legislative and oversight requirements. Thank you for your attention. And then signed by the chairman. Of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Mike Turner, and the Chairman of Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus Pandemic, Brad Wenstrup. Curious who this Brad Wenstrup is. Anyways. The Honorable Raul Ruiz Ranking Member. Alright, so there's your, there's your document on that. Alright so. This goes on to say that in a separate letter the House Committee leaders, and I'll go ahead and just pull this up on the screen for you guys so you can actually. Look with me here. There we go. All right. So this also goes on to say, In a separate letter, In a separate letter, the House committee leaders identified former CIA chief operating officer, Andrew McCready, Mac, Macridis, as having played a central role in the COVID investigation, and asked him to sit for a transcribed interview. At CIA, we are committed to the highest level of standards of analytic rigor, integrity, and objectivity. Of course you are, just not when it comes to assassinating Kennedys. We do not pay an analyst to reach specific conclusions. Of course we wouldn't do that. The post, in a statement, we take these allegations extremely serious and are looking into them. We will keep our congressional oversight committees appropriately informed. Hmm. Interesting, interesting to see if there's anything more from this article that we should be discussing now to the comment section, which is really what matters, which says that if they are actively covering up evidence that COVID came from gain of function research that was weaponizing a virus, then I wonder what other part they might have in all of this. It seems as if we would want to know the truth of origin if we truly want to prevent similar future. outbreaks. That's a good point, right? Why would you want to cover up the origins of this? Why would you not want to get to the bottom of what happened to prevent it from happening again in the future, unless you or somebody, you know, or somebody who's giving you money. Had any take or partook in any of it, right? Why, why, if you, if you don't have any skin in the game, if you're not somebody who's going to be held liable, if you're not concerned about anything coming back to you as an organization, or maybe as the person who ordered these things to happen, why would you be doing this? That's weird. Huh. The next person said, remember when it was the political left that challenged questions and were skeptical of the various three lettered agencies yet now the left is in unquestioning lockstep when with its former arch enemies, pretty remarkable change in the last. generation. It is pretty crazy to like you go back to the 70s, you go back to the 80s, you go back to the 90s, right? The Democratic Party, the left was primarily the hippies, not the the suit and tie wearing grandfathers that we used to think were Republicans back in the day, right? You always that's always how it was pictured for a very long time, right? That that Republicans were these stiff old white men, and The cool people, the, the artists, the this, the that, the, you know, the people who were free thinkers were the people who were on the left, right? Those were the liberals. Those were the the, the Democrats. And, and it seems like we have shifted pretty, pretty significantly to where the left just wants to be completely in line with anything and everything that daddy government says that they should be in line with. And the right questions literally everything, right? For how long were we saying that there's alien evidence, alien evidence, alien evidence? And all of a sudden, the government comes out with alien evidence, and all of a sudden, we're all questioning it, right? Just because the government actually told us that. There was no winning scenario there. But, now that that information's coming out, and it's coming from the mouth of the government, and not other institutions, which we actually trust, we're questioning that too. Because, Everything the government does has an agenda or else they wouldn't be doing it because the government is just about siphoning money from the pool of tax money that they extorted from its people, right? So once you realize that, you have to realize that there's an agenda behind everything, right? The only way for you to be successful in politics, the only way for you to get into the positions that you want to is, well, maybe a already have hundreds of billions of dollars in the bank and self fund yourself and not have to take money from lobbyists, but maybe there's only been. A handful of people like that in recent history and by handful, I mean, maybe two or three and by recent history, I mean, since 1776, but but it's, it's pretty wild to see that, you know, the left is just so in line with everything the government says, so in line with mask mandates, so in line with you know, what, what the CIA is doing with, with everything and anything that comes out from the government. They're just immediately fall in line with it, right? All of that. They are the propaganda Enforcers is the liberal far left, right and and we have to say far left Although I I tend to believe that the left is far more radical in this ideologies than the right is Even if you go to like the far right, right, the far right, being the proud boy type people the, the QAnon conspiracy theorists on, on all of the the deep channels of 4chan, right? It's like when, in order to get to that level, you're probably looking at when it, when it comes to the liberal left, right? We're talking about what, what are the extreme ideologies of the liberal left? The extreme ideologies of the liberal left is that, oh, Any single moment prior to birth, a child should be able to be killed within the womb, right? There's, there's no, there's no conversation more than until it's born, right? That's a pretty radical idea. And I would say, let's say 30 percent of Democrats agree with that idea. Okay, there's one. All right, the secondary idea being that, you know, let's let's say socialism, like true capital, not capitalism, but socialism, that, you know, everybody and anybody should have their fair share of everything, regardless of work ethic, right? Equality of outcome, right? And you might look at it, maybe not straight socialism, but equality of outcome, right? They want the top 1 percent of people to pay the top, you know, 75 percent of taxes, right? Okay, that seems like somewhat of a radical ideology. They don't want people to be able to have Guns that's a that's a pretty radical ideology. Let's just say again for argument's sake that that's 30 percent 30 percent of the radical left Believes that we shouldn't be able to own any weapons at all any weapons at all Well in 30 percent might be generous. It's probably closer like 35 40 and again, I'm just throwing shit out there, but 35% And then you go into what's another radical idea? Oh, well, maybe that your children at the age of two to three years old, four years old should be able to determine their gender, even though they were born with the chromosomes that they were born with. Okay, that's a pretty radical ideology that your child should be able to choose its own gender when it can't choose its own lunch. Because it would choose candy every day. And that's maybe closer to 60 percent of the, let's say, the radical left, or the left in general, believes that. Okay? We can probably even take that further and further and further, looking at the different ideologies. But let's say 30 60 percent of the far left ideologies Trickle into the majority almost of what the left believes right now. We, we can go to the other side of things and say, what are the radical ideologies of the radical? Right. Right. Okay. Trump's been in president for the last, or has been president during Biden's entire term, and we're just waiting on him to raise his hand and say, it was me the whole time, guys. And rip off his mask like it's Scooby-Doo You know, that's like the radical, radical, right. QAnon people. Right. And obviously, you know, QAnon's been, been has some, some merit to some of its belief systems when it comes to the the child sex trafficking rings and things like that. There's obvious merit to that. But, but when we're talking about the fact that there's going to be Trump's. In charge of the real military and he, and I think we haven't heard much whispers of that over the last year or so, but for about the first year or two for, for Joe Biden's presidency, there was a serious group of small group of extremist conservatives, extremist conservatives who were thinking that Trump was going to come back and take over and be like, ha, it was me, right? I'm still president. And, and, you know, that's, that's pretty radical, but I would say maybe Four, three, 3%, maybe less than 3% of of people right now. Another radical ideology on the right might be what? I can't, it's hard to even think of any. I dunno that you shouldn't have drag shows in front of children Like what is, what is the radical rights belief systems that the government shouldn't you know, we didn't even get the freedom of speech when it comes to the left, right? Censorship. The, the, the right might think that there should be No. No. No censorship of speech, right? That's not even radical. So it's just hard to see. It's hard to see what is the what? And I'm open to the conversation. So send me a message. Let me know what is the radical ideas of the right. And maybe maybe we can start to have the percentage conversations I just had with the left, but it's so much easier. Okay, let's just go with abortion. Right abortion. Let's say every single person believes that there should be no ability to have any abortion. And that let's call that a A radical ideology within the right. Let's just say that just for argument's sake. What percentage of people do you think That are conservatives that hold that belief that just zero abortions for any reason whatsoever, regardless of age, regardless of circumstance, regardless of medical situations, maybe, maybe 10%, maybe 5%, I would think like Uh, and primarily made up of people who are highly religious and for religious reasons, not just ideological reasons. So it's just a weird conversation, right? The far left is far more of the left than the far right being part of the right, right? The percentages of those people are just so much lower than what we see. So the craziness... That the entire left is pretty crazy in their ideology because you get thrown out of the group if you don't agree with all of it. Right? So, anyways, there's your tangent on that. Where were we? I don't think it matters. Last comment says there was no lab leak, virus developed in Georgia and released worldwide through various means with various intensities. Not natural, not an accident, U. S. military operation under the auspices of the deep state. Hmm. That's an interesting one. Now, if you go back, I did a whole episode on the what is it called? The water in the water. What was it? That guy, Peter or something did a documentary about how he believed that it was some form of snake venom that was being released to people through the water systems, right? That was a pretty, that was a crazy, crazy idea. But there's a whole documentary on it. Let's see if I can remember what it was called. Let's go. COVID, Snake, Venom, Water, Documentary. And I did a whole podcast breaking this down. So, you can go back and listen to that. Watch the water. Watch the water. That's what it was. Hmm. Yeah, I believe that was, and this guy is the guy who did it. That he interviewed. This, what's the guy's name? Here he is. Pretty sure the guy's like a chiropractor or some shit. But that's a pretty crazy one that the water, the drinking water was being poisoned with snake venom. That was a, that was a pretty wild one, but, but interesting. And I believe if you go back and actually listen to it, there was, there was some interesting arguments within that. But anyways, maybe that's what they were discussing within that comment there. But wrapping that topic up, the CIA was apparently and allegedly, according to this whistleblower, Paying people not to say that it was a lab leak. And again, you have to ask yourself why. All right? In other news, Russell Brand has been accused of sexual assault. And as a result, his YouTube channel has been immediately demonetized without any actual trial, any hearing. Right? And this is somebody's income. So... YouTube blocks Russell Brand from making money from videos on his channel over sexual assault and rape allegations. Right? Something, something that's embedded in our law is innocent until proven guilty. Right? The guy from That 70s Show that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis was just basically sticking up for in a letter. Was convicted of rape by two women convicted, right? We can demonetize his YouTube. Not sure he would have access to it anyways. But do you just get to as a company? D demonetized the platform people kill their income for allegations. Now, are you playing judge and jury? And how does that play into when somebody goes to court for these things? Right? If you're if you're saying that you believe this person is guilty and also who's making these decisions at YouTube and that. Different companies like this. Anyways, let's go ahead and read this article, which says YouTube has suspended advertisements on Russell Brand's channel in light of a slew of sexual assault and rape allegations made against the comedian as clips of his former wife, Katy Perry, have resurfaced the platform suspensions for violating its policy will still allow brand to. Upload videos, of course it will, it just won't give him money, but he will not profit from advertising. Meanwhile, footage has re emerged of the moment Brand ended his relationship with US singer Perrie by text message in 2011 following their 14 month marriage. Presenter Vanessa Feltz has also shared deeply offensive footage of Brand. Asking to sleep with her and her daughters. When she appeared on his chat show in 2006 and the late comedian, Sean Locke disclosed the reason he hated brand and the clip from the panel show eight out of 10 cats in 2014, explaining he had a fear for his he had a fear his daughters would bring home a man like brand one day. I don't see how that has any merit. Brand has vehemently denied the very serious criminal allegations and said his relationships were absolutely always consensual. So let's see if we can get maybe some of these videos. No, they're just going to send us to a big page of random stuff. All right. So it goes on to say a timeline key points. YouTube suspends monetization. Big brother co creator describes brand allegations as. depressing and BBC confirms removal of brands, content, brand episodes removed from C4 website. No evidence to suggest channel four bosses knew of brands alleged assaults and review into the timeline at BBC led to by director of editorial complaints. This was three hours ago. It says that who cares? That's a silly one. It says the allegations against Russell Brand over the weekend have got people examining the age of consent. Rightly so, that a 30 year old man would embark on a sexual relationship with a schoolgirl feels instinctively wrong to many of us. The woman in question, Alice, who has said that she now feels she was groomed by Brand, though he also denied all of the allegations, has called for consent law to be reviewed in light of her experience. The law enabled it, she told reporters. For the times Saturday night, it shouldn't be legal for a 16 year old to have a relationship with a man in their thirties. Now, most of us are comfortable with the idea that a 16 year old can consent to have sex with another 16 year old, that two teenagers can have a sexual relationship, but we start to feel iffy when there's an adult in the sexual relationship with a minor, as the gap age gap increases, so does our discontent or disquiet. That's not mere hand wringing or moralizing, and it's not about. Trying to deny young people their sexuality, it's because we understand implicitly, even when we can't articulate it, that an imbalance of power can affect consent. Okay, agreed. 16 year olds and 30 year olds shouldn't be having sex. Let's see this clip. Can I have it off with either you or your daughters, the answer's no, and I'm, no. It's terribly awkward when you're a guest on somebody else's show, particularly in a theatre which is full of great fans of, of the presenter, Russell Brand, so they all loved him, they were cheering him and egging him on, and I was in this unbelievably awkward position where you don't quite know what to do. Are you meant to pretend you think it's funny and laugh along? Are you meant to stand up and walk out in high dutch and, and, and look as if you're a spoilsport and a party pooper? You know, what are you supposed to do? But I know I was deeply offended then as I remain deeply offended now. Now that woman looked about in her 40s and not very attractive at the time. And now that's not to take away the seriousness of this clip, but I don't see that there being any merit to that of people just trying to smear him. Now, now something that's come out as a revolt result of this, you know, and something that there seems to be a lot of attention on Russell Brand right now, right now, Russell Brand speaking out consistently, consistently, consistently against the deep state against George Soros against the world economic forum. So To me, it would be no surprise that there's things coming back. Now, from 20, 30, 20 years ago, 10, 15, 20 years ago, that obviously have not been litigated. There's no, nothing going through the court system. So again, I'm not saying that I don't think a 30 year old and a 16 year old should have a sexual relationship. That's creepy. It's weird. It's gross. I, I don't know if I, you know, we just had the one side of that, but he seems to say that he. didn't do any of that. Now telling a woman in her 40s during a talk show, let me have a go at you or your daughters and she's 40 and maybe your daughter's 2025 or something like, okay, it's still nothing there. You know, I would love to see, you know, and here's a, here's a good quote that came from Reddit. That's pretty popular right now. It says, All start caring whether or not Russell Brand had some questionable sex a decade or two ago when the media starts caring what Bill Gates or Prince Andrew was doing on Epstein Island. Or when it starts naming the customers Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of supplying trafficked minors to. Right. There seems to be a lot of emphasis, right? I'll start caring about Russell brand. When you start to show that you actually care about the victims, right? That's what this is saying here. Not, not, let's not diminish if there was some allegations. Cause I haven't read enough into them to say they weren't true or they were true or whatever. Let's just say, sure. There's allegations here, but what we know 100 percent besides the fact that Russell brand had, what seems like a still. Something that has not been convicted against him. And he still hasn't even gone to court for this. That doesn't seem like there's any charges. But there has been somebody who was supplying and trafficking hundreds, if not thousands, of underage women to Prince Andrew, to Bill Clinton, to Hollywood executives, to Hollywood elites, to... Everybody in power, and everybody knew about it. Oh, and also, so did the news companies who silenced the articles to come out. Right? Everybody knew about this, but nobody said anything. And still... They're protecting the lists today, you're going to tell me you're going to tell me that they raided Epstein's Island and found nothing of merit that they're releasing to the public about who was a part of this, how they did it, about what we're doing as a result of that, you're going to tell me they raided an entire island that was used specifically for track picking and found nothing, not a Bit of evidence, not a single strand of evidence that led them to convict somebody who was on that island doing those things. Bill Gates, like I said, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton just person after person after person. And the list, you know, we've gone into that and the whole breakdown of the black list that came out or black book that came out from Epstein. So you can go back and listen to that to see who was all a part of it. But. It's pretty crazy. And, and so this article or this, this person posted and goes on to say that I'll care what about what one former US president is or isn't guilty of. When the media starts caring about what other former US presidents are or are not guilty of. And I'll care about a more powerful country invading a less powerful country when the media reports the conflict and its context in exactly the same tone. And with the degree, same degree of neutrality versus moral outrage as it uses when there's a more powerful country in question is the U S A. Until that day, the mainstream media and everyone who repeats its talking points on social media is not, but idle gossip and the sound of one hand clapping. Until the day I could not give less fucks about what mainstream media says any person did or didn't do, so... Well, that's not what it said. It says about who the mainstream media says any fucker fucked or didn't fuck. And so fuck the mainstream media. Let anyone... It fucks with tell them to fuck the fuck off. With its farce ial fuckery. Now, the top comment on this, and I don't disagree with this, is you are allowed to care about all of those things simultaneously. Right. I don't disagree with that. It definitely seems like you should, you know, If you care about people who are the victims, you should just care about them regardless, but it doesn't seem like it's obviously not the same level of situation here. Now, in light of these things coming up here, I'm actually going to skip. We'll maybe push off the Tim Ballard one to a different episode here, because we have a little bit more to go. And I have a little bit limited amount of time here. So the next one that we're going to move to is a Texas church experiments with. AI generated service and uses chat GPT for worship sermon and original songs to praise the Lord says the church said the experiment would be a one time event. And this comes from Fox news. Now, if this isn't the most dystopian thing you've ever heard of when it comes to religion, I don't know what it is. This is just So sci fi, weird, and cult y. It says, with artificial intelligence seemingly infiltrating every facet of our lives, one church decided to experiment with the technology for one of its services last week. The Violet Crown City Church, located in Austin, held an AI generated service on Sunday, describing the experiment as uncharted territory. Yeah, because you're starting a cult with... a robot at the head of it. This, and you're, you're, you're actually the, so here's a philosophical issue with this is that you're, you're taking the person who is, let's say the, the coding behind the AI and turning that into a deity, right? You're, you're giving it infinite amounts of power over people. When somebody gives their life to a God or a deity or a religion and says, I believe in you. I trust in you. I give you my life. I give you my faith. You know, faith is a faith is a. a tricky thing, right? Faith is, is now not always blind faith, but, but faith with with a little bit of suspicion is, is healthy, right? But faith, faith is a tricky thing. And if you give that faith to something who's, who's being, can be at any single point manipulated by man. Right? You're, you're giving religious potential. You're giving deity like power to something that is man itself, right? We cannot have man worshiping man. That's the problem that we saw with science during COVID science, right? It turned into a cult, right? There's no man who should be a deity and there's no artificial intelligence that should be a deity because what does that become other than the manifestation of the programming, right? Right? So this says. This Sunday, they said, we're entering somewhat uncharted territory by letting Chachibiti create the order of worship, prayers, sermon, liturgy, and even an original song from our 10 a. m. service, the church wrote on its official Facebook page. The purpose, the purpose is to invite us to consider the nature of truth and challenge our assumptions about what, what God can make sacred and inspired. The Church acknowledged such an experiment would be easy to write off, but encouraged its members to keep an open mind. Why not attend instead of an experience for yourself, the Church said, clarifying that this would be a one time experiment and not something we'll likely do again. Yeah, I hope not. The Church assanjed any worries that Skynet, a reference to the fictional AI, I'm not sure an AI can actually express the emotions of love and kindness and empathy, Chambers said. I think that we must practice love and express that. Not only feel it, but we must. Express it. Interesting. Now the comment on this was pretty sure God was not impressed with the vanity of that service. They wanted the creator of the entire universe to interact with a machine? It's like man saying, here, listen to this thing we created. God made man so he could interact and connect with man. Not so that man could make a machine and use it as his proxy. Yes. Agreed. Right, this is, if you think there is layers to reality, one of those layers being the higher, the higher reality, right, which is, let's call it heaven or we're, we're, we're God lives, right? And the layer that we're on being a lower dimension of reality, right? You cannot create, and you cannot, when, when somebody is creating a sermon, when somebody is writing a song, when somebody is deciding on what they do or do not want to talk about, If you believe in, in the faith of, of Christian, Christianity and religion, you believe that God is speaking through that person, right? God's not going to speak through an AI chatbot that was created by some Silicon Valley, woke, purple haired, ear ringed, Weirdo, right? Earrings like there's something wrong with earrings but it's all, you know, I, I pictured like 22 earrings on their head and gate big gauges. Right? But God's not going to speak through that person or at least through the coding that they wrote. I'm sorry. Right? So, so if you believe that that is of this reality that is of this realm and it's not going to be the real thing and all that opens up is a weird it. Alien based cult. Let's get into the good stuff. Alright, so the doctors, if you go back, the doctors in Mexico actually have come out and done testing on the alien bodies that were found in Peru. Now they claim that these were almost over a thousand years old when they were found and they were found in the ruins of I believe it wasn't wreckage, but they were just found and dug up by like archaeologists. So it says Mexican doctors have found no evidence of any assembly or manipulation of the skulls of the so called non human being remains that were presented to Mexico's Congress last week. Seemingly proven the remains were not human made. The scientists conducted a number of tests on the two specimens at the Neuer Clinic on Monday and live streamed the entire procedure. Wow, that's pretty cool. In the end, Jose Zels Benitez, the director of Health Sciences Research Institute and the secretary of the Mexican Navy offices, said the studies proved the alleged aliens belonged to a single skeleton and were not assembled with human objects. He also said his team found that one was alive, was intact, Was biological and was in gestation, pointing to large lumps inside the alleged E. T. 's abdomen, which suggested could be eggs. Whoa. I can affirm that these bodies have no relation to human beings, he previously claimed. The pair, which were allegedly unearthed in Cusco, Peru in 2017, have elongated heads with three fingers on each hand. Creepy. Super creepy. Especially when you look at the pictures of this MRI. Whoa, how are these pictures not out? That's crazy. Also, I do just want to say that nobody seems to give a fuck about the fact that they just showed alien corpses on live TV and then just did an autopsy on them with MRI machines and cat scans and came out with the results. I haven't seen a single person. I found this literally randomly on the New York Post. It says, but otherwise they appear humanoid in shape with two arms and two legs. Each my son. Said that they had strong light bones and no teeth, and had implants of ca, ca, ca, ca, cadmium and osmium, which is one of the scary, scariest elements on Earth. Also, one third of their d n A is unknown. He testified claiming that beings are not part of our terrestrial evolution. These specimens are not part of our evolutionary history on earth. They're not beings recovered from a U F O crash site. Instead, they were found in diatom. Minds and subc subsequently became fossilized, which is an algae. This is the first time it is presented in such a form. And I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non human specimens. They're not related to any other species in our world, but many have expressed skepticism about the discovery. For years, academics, archaeologists and scientists said that mummified remains, that UFO enthusiasts claim or aliens are generally just modified human bodies. And there's people looking at these pictures. There's picture after picture of these skulls. Oh my gosh. Could you imagine being in this room? How wild is that? The very first comment on this said, I am partly convinced they are not human and could be extraterrestrial. However, the DNA results will tell the tale. It should be easy to send a small sample of DNA to a reputable company. In fact, why not send one of the eggs as well? If it was alive at one time, that should be. The final proof of origin. Somebody else commented back to that person and said, is anyone going to believe anything coming from Mexico? Says they performed the same tests on Biden and got the same results. Oh, pretty crazy.  All right. And last but not least on today's episode, we're going to dive into the Malaysia air three 70 conspiracy. This was posted eight days ago on conspiracy Reddit by additional underscore add 3796. And I've dabbled in this a little bit. I haven't read the whole thing, but it's pretty crazy. So this says, Hello, this is Ashton from Twitter, and I have been writing about the MH370 videos for the past month. They are real, leaked, military videos. I don't want you to believe me, I want to convince you with the facts. This isn't all of the facts, just some of the most compelling. The videos... Oldest Archive is a satellite stereoscopic video from the Regenik Dianon with an archive upload date of May 19th, 2024. The description reads, Received March 12th, 2014. Source, protected. Alright, let's go ahead and see and make sure that he doesn't have any prior posts on this that give us a... T. L. D. R. A little bit on his post. So this was, well, he replies a lot. Let's go to his posts. We're looking at an overview. All right. So the one that we had looked at was from eight days ago. Let's just see if he has any the real story of MH three 70 all pertinent evidence and theories. That was 70 or seven days ago. Facts and theories to help the investigation. And okay. So this Reddit looks like started eight days ago or 10 days ago. And it says proof the Northern coordinates are correct and facts. Hey guys, this is Ashton from Twitter. I've noticed a lot of things have gotten destroyed here. Let's see if he gives us a quick synopsis here. And he does not. So let's jump first to the one that he says is all evidence and theories. Okay. So, so my J the general consensus. Well, not general consensus because I haven't done a census, but the idea here is that the original story was, was wrong, that this is a conspiracy and that it didn't just evaporate into thin air or fall into the ocean as everybody thinks. So this says Ashton Twitterson here, many people ask for a comprehensive list. Of the evidence of the M H 370 video. So I delivered most people's immediate reaction will be that the MH 370 videos are stupid or impossible, but they line up with all the facts to date. Don't believe me or trust me, verify the evidence. The U S government made a huge mistake recording this event. There's no excuse they can use to deny it. If you want to destroy all credibility and world governments here is. Your unique opportunity. Each piece of evidence can be verified either visually in the video from works of the community or my own investigation research. If it's not on the list, I either haven't verified it or don't find it to be credibly linked to the investigation. At this time, I'm limited in images that can be used or I would add more. I only put links and sources when it's a contentious point. When the time comes, all those who contributed will be giving credit. Quick disclaimer, they said This is not Q Anon. This is not to distract from Trump or Biden. This is not an alien invasion. This is not a hoax, misinformation, or disinformation. There are ufology elements, but that does not mean it is the explanation. This is the power of the community used to tell the story of the greatest conspiracy of all time. Is this the greatest conspiracy of all time? Note, I don't want to talk to any mainstream media. They'll never tell the truth. I'll talk to any alternative media or Tucker Carlson, Bill Maher, Joe Rogan. If these three can be convinced, I believe the world can be. Interesting. All right, so let's see if we can start with the theories, because I feel like he could have written this better to give us a brief synopsis first. But essentially. Oh, so that's what that video was. Okay, so this is showing that the Malaysia Air 370 was being circled by three unidentified objects in this crazy weird orbs all surrounding it and rotating. I did see this video. And then there's a zap, which is a cold event in the thermal because this was being picked up by thermal imaging. The zap accurately illuminates the clouds in the background and the foreground. All right. So. Let's go through this full. Let's go through this full deep dive. All right. So let's just go back to the top here because now it's starting to make a little bit more sense to me. There's a video that was circulating, which was showing and I'll pull it up here for you guys. So you can watch it if you're on YouTube with me here or on rumble or on the sub stack. This is the web archived video. Okay. Now, again, this comes from 2014 back when this airliner went missing. And here's a video. That they're saying is credible evidence of the Malaysia air showing, and here's my cursor showing there's the orb. There's three orbs that fly right around it in a crazy, crazy quick way that has no, wow. And they're, they're surrounding it like almost in a symmetrical triangle, rotating back and forth and in sync. Almost completely in sync and then rotating and turning back around and all surrounding this airliner, the same airliner that went missing suddenly back in 2014 and they go faster and faster and faster and faster, see if, and then disappears, what completely disappears. So we need to verify obviously the legitimacy of this video, but a lot of people seem to think it's legit. That was crazy. Okay. So one more time at the point where it disappears, the rotating, rotating, rotating, rotating, and it's gone big flash. And the airliner is just completely gone after being surrounded by these three orbs. Now there's a second video that comes from this, and we'll see what this shows us. That was the one that I saw, I believe. It says capture airliners and UFOs, UAV. And here's the thermal imagery. Alright, so here's the aircraft flying. Now why is a UAV this close to this airliner is a better question with thermal imaging. There's an orb, one orb, two orbs. Rotating, rotating, and leaving a thermal trail behind them, which is interesting. Oh, they're perfectly circling when you see the trail around them. Whoa, that's so weird. Super weird. And let's see if it shows it disappearing. Whoa, and it's Gone, dude, if this is real, and this if this is Malaysia air and the whole time I remember this, this was like, this was as big as the Titanic submarine situation. Like all those, you know, the three billionaires, this was an entire airliner just gone, gone. And I believe there was some high profile people on this airliner. But yeah, They we were looking for this for days and days and days went by and days went by and it should have been out of fuel and maybe they they landed here and maybe they didn't and maybe we just haven't their transponder went off whatever it was if this is the airliner and this is real this is one of the craziest conspiracies ever okay Now I'm in. Now I'm in. Alright. So, we got the background now. Filmed in 2014 with technology from 2014. Spy satellite videos, presumed from USA 229 is the earliest archived source. Received March 12, 2014. 3D stereoscopic video, technically a third video, which means we need two satellites in close proximity and on the same orbital trajectory. Satellite perspective changes eight times as do the coordinates, with coordinates visible in six of them showing us the location and direction of travel, south and east. A thermal layer of MQ 1C Grey Eagle posted by Rejiknion received, I don't know what the hell that's supposed to be a name or something received June 5th of 2014. And cameras on the equipment are made. For filming these events, it says this the thermal layer on a specialized electro infrared camera on the MQ one secret Eagle matches the mission purpose for this S I B R S and S I G I N T tracking boats and planes, electronic signals, monitoring intelligence and battlefield awareness, alternate sources and higher quality exists that point to none of these users being the original source. Maybe we can see if these are the same exact videos and higher resolution, but this is two minutes long. So I wonder maybe it's, it looks slowed down a little bit. That's probably why it's two minutes. I want to see it disappear like that. Slow motion. Gone. Whoa, that's wild. Okay it's a speculation. The original source may have come from a private forum or left on the dark web to be found. Videos show coordinates in them that change, but not when the mouse moves. Videos show satellite designations presumed to be N r o l 22 due to seeing 93 and thus ruling out threes. Not sure what that's supposed to mean. Satellite vis video explained by remote terminal access mouse drift. Explained by a JPEG wheel track ball that does not have the click activated screen capture of terminal running at some resolution. 30 frames per second. Citrix remote terminal running at default on 24 frames per second. Okay, very technical. So they're trying to figure out where did this video come from because you see on the screen a mouse going back and forth on top of it over top of the video. So I think that's what they're trying to do here. Remotely navigating around a very large resolution video playing at. Eight frames per second, or is that six? Six frames per second. Okay, so they're just trying to figure out where did this video come from? Plane is making a left hand turn and descending consistent with a circle formation consistent with capabilities of a 777 to 200. Plane's altitude is low based on how close they are to the cumulus cloud formations. Okay, true. There's a heat signature near the center bottom half of the plane. Yes, also true. There's an exhaust smoke coming from the plane, which is likely too low for contrails. Three orbs approach. The plane seemingly not affected by gravity. Yeah, that's that's what I said. It was just moving. It didn't seem to follow Newton's laws. Like it's just moving around in a way that our aircraft absolutely could not. Does the orbs have cold trails that are in front of the orb leading the orb? Yes. Saw that. Speculation. Orbs may be changing the pressure of the atmosphere or absorbing energy from it. Orbs entered a lock formation and begin a pattern and change patterns. Wow, they really broke down this pattern this way the way that they were rotating. Very interesting. And the two of them almost intersect and then change their formation and then go perfectly in sync. Perfectly in sync. It says the orb's pattern encircles the plane over time. The orbs may not be visible to the human eye. Both cameras are infrared. Huh, interesting. A zap occurs as the orbs bend and move towards the plane. The zap is a cold event in the thermal, and the zap accurately illuminates the clouds in the background and the foreground. Huh. So was this at night? The plane completely disappears after the zap, including the plane's visible trail. The MQ 1C is cropped out of the satellite video, just out of view. The user closes the window after the plane disappears, indicating this was not recorded in real time. It requires knowledge of classified military systems. Person who recorded or leaked these videos is likely in prison. How would a hoaxer know? They would never find a plane. Why this is M H three 70. Okay. Good question. How do we know that this is the plane, right? Is this says that it's the only missing seven 77. There was no debris field found official flight path. Has it running out of gas? Because there's nowhere else for it to go and the official search searched everywhere along the final ping art and along the flight path even the Nicobar Islands area, right? So the perfectly along this flight path perfectly around the time that it was flying and it's the exact aircraft type says the thermal matches the exact silhouette of a 777. Okay, yep, which is overlaid at the top of this image here. The color tone matches that of Malaysia Airlines. And satellite coordinates put it on the flight path of MH370 around... 640 Nicobar Islands, which is the smoking gun. Note, this is the suspected location of the turn into the South Indian Ocean. It has an imagery around that. It says NROL 22, released in 2006, is presumed to be a relay satellite due to its molnia. Orbit and clear view of the satellite that took the video, the smoking gun USA two 29 at the right location. Time apparent angle with a sister debris satellite capable of taking stereoscopic video at six 40 UTC. So it's just verifying that there was something in this location at that time that could have taken this video and says propose of. Signal intelligence and space based infrared systems is to track airplanes like this. Interesting, it shows a Lockheed Martin space based infrared system. And then it says the U. S. military had to have tracked MH370. We've proven they had the satellites in the area. US military confirmed the provided data to the intelligence community to help solve the mystery of MH370 and the freedom of information act about the DSP detection of the impact of 370 was ignored. Goes on to show the flight path. The pilot says good night. MH370 at 5 19 UTC at 17 21. 521 UTC MH370 disappears from all civilian radar due to both 8S, B and A cars being shut off. Captain Blelly suggests whoever was in command of the aircraft had intentionally achieved this by disconnecting all four electronic Electrical generators and APU. The radar says the plane makes impossible altitude changes from 5, 000 feet to 55, 000 feet. The radar loses the plane, but tracks an object they believed to be the plane as the satellite system resets three minutes and a log on request happens around 1724 plane changes directions. When the plane gets over Penang, the copilot cell phone pings, huh? The last Malaysian. Radar in between 1815 and 1822, 200 miles West by Northwest of Penang. Hmm. Very interesting. So it's showing basically the flight logs and the the pings of information that was being sent out from it. It says the witness interesting. So it's showing her blog post, Catherine T. It says the reported facts, their timing, and their identified geometrical relative position provided by Miss T are coherent, providing confidence in her reporting. So let's see this blog post while that's loading. She says, I thought it was coming to land. I felt it was traveling slowly. The aircraft was probably flying in L2 between 2000 and 100, 000 feet, held same tack for five minutes. The aircraft had considerably descended. from the first or from the first second of observation until the accidental change of tack. I saw that what looked like black smoke behind the orange glow, which resembled a contrail, but black, but I couldn't see any fire flames or anything like that. I just saw a plane glowing orange. Whoa. This comes from chat GPT, which has gases in the atmosphere, particularly oxygen. Nitrogen can glow orange under influence of electromagnetic effects, ionization, and other electron or energetic processes. The Aurors are a prime example of a phenomenon. Interesting. Says the glowing plane did not have any navigation lights. Alright, as it moved behind the boat, I could see the shape very clearly, which was a passenger plane. Here is the blog post. Which, quite lengthy. But maybe we'll have to send that out in the sub stack. Hmm. Interesting. So this woman says that she saw Malaysia Air right around the time that it disappeared. And wrote a blog post about it. It says other pertinent information. It says, my impression of the hall was that it was monocolor. I assume light matte gray. I doubted my sanity at the time. The plane circles around the boat counterclockwise from the Southeast. Hmm. The silence is sinister was the last tweet. It says other pertinent information to fake passengers using stolen passports that changed their appearance. What one possible passenger who bypassed security. And an SOS at 243 intercepted and reported only in Chinese news, which is a plane attempting emergency landing. Trump leaked a similar satellite photo in 2019 of USA 224, which launched in 2011, same year as USA 229. And then it says debunking the suicide myth. Everyone stands up for him, including officials and his wife. 18, 000 flight hours. Coworkers loved him. So it's talking about the pilot. No indication of suicide intent in the flight path. Had a huge custom simulator. Not standard model. Zahari's flight simulator had been used to pilot two data points in the southern Indian Ocean. Or to plot. And route found on the simulator closely matches MH 150 route to Jeddah with a diversion at the end of the South Pole. He was rostered to fly MH 150, impossible to disconnect all four electrical generators. Flying over his hometown is silly. It was an emergency and people would kick down the door before they would get knocked out. Depressurization is slow. In most emergency scenarios, the plane is not going to last until it runs out of fuel. Now it's going on to debunk the fact that the actual of the debris, no debris found by the official search or above or below water. It says the debris found years later was not consistent with barnacle growth. Only the Flay Perrin was matched with a non unique serial number. One person claims to have found 10 plus pieces, which was featured and contested on a Netflix documentary. Oh, excuse me. No one is allowed to inspect it. Okay. So it's trying to debunk it addressing debunks of the videos. Clouds do move just slowly. So it's just going over some of the things that people are saying about that. Hmm. Interesting. Plane disappears. So it says teleportation. Plane disappears from space time instantly. Intermediate black hole event. Which was it being cold? A witness sees a possible red shifted glow or orange glow Using a plane because it's in open space, huh? Teleportation may be to hide the plane Family's phones were proven ringing on Chinese TV for days Impossible if underwater or in another dimension, huh? Traveling forward in time doesn't break causality But traveling backward in time does See time Dilation says the science wormholes have been shown to be theoretically possible by at least three scientific papers They all show that exotic material is not necessary One paper argues a thin shell could be used to safely transport an object outside of space time Description of an intermediate black hole is consistent with the zap we see in the videos And one paper discusses needing to remove unwanted particles from the area The orbs may have been super conductive the orbs could be cleaning the area in Deucing the mouth of the wormhole and or acting as the barrier for passage. And there's a real patent for a magnetic vortex wormhole generator. What the fuck? No way. Let's pull that one up. Patents. google. com. A patent number is. U. S. 20030197093A1, and I will include this in the sub stack as well, because now we need a sub stack on this one. So this invention, which is called Magnetic Vortex Wormhole Generator. What? This invention relates to a magnetic vortex generator, which has the ability to generate negative mass and a negative spring constant, which, according to Einstein's general theory of relativity, is required in order to create a stable wormhole between R space and hyperspace. Whaaaaat? Very interesting, above my scientific pay grade. But I will definitely be reading through this another time. And maybe I'll highlight some stuff for you when I throw it in the sub stack. Here's the article that came from the last day of Malaysia airline passengers with stolen passports. Okay, interesting. Could these be the aliens? Alright let's wrap this up here. It says Diego Garcia, 1, 700 military and 1, 500 civilian personnel. Space Force has 86, 000 total servicemen and women. Okay. Sighting of a passenger plane 50 miles north of the base flying low in the early morning. I wish he would have put this together better. Pilot had Diego Garcia in his simulator. Not open to commercial aircraft. Enough space for a 7 77. So wait, what is this? Diego Garcia? Is this supposed to be like a a military base or something? What is Diego Garcia? Diego Garcia Base. It's gotta be a military base. Diego Garcia is a British atoll in the Indian Ocean. It is an island of the British Indian Ocean Territory, an overseas territory of the United States Kingdom or the United Kingdom. It is a militarized atoll just south of the equator in the central Indian Ocean and the largest of 60 small islands. Huh. Okay. Interesting. Interesting. Because there was a theory that it landed there, I guess. Okay. Alright, moving on here. Not open to commercial aircraft, has enough space for a 777, has underground facilities with a black vault Freedom of Information Act showing it may be a CIA black site. Message from Philip Wood saying he had held captive with a picture of EXIF data, placing it at Diego Garcia. Tens of millions. To black construction for dredging and other activities. Lockheed Martin contract for upgrading power and water photos of Diego Garcia, Facebook that look like the crew seems like the new area 51 Strava heat map and the small boat Harbor outside of the yacht club seems very active. Do D reassessed privacy's policies for the troops after Strava revelations in 2018. Hmm. Theories and speculation. The reason to do this must be large enough to warrant the risk unlikely to be about money. Shadow war for control of this technology, 20 semiconductor scientists on board. Whoa. So saying that basically the reason that they would have done this was that there was 20 semiconductor scientists on board Malaysia air and they wanted to either remove them, kill them, whatever. Or transport them to this base. Says video suppressed to hide hyper advanced technology not known to the public. Interesting. Video suppressed to hide non human intelligence. Filming had intent. UAV is too slow to catch a 777 and US 229 is only in position for minutes. So the only reason it got filmed, they're saying, is because they wanted to see this, and then somebody leaked it. Primary narratives. Ones with the most evidence, and we're getting towards the end of this. Set the satellite computer to stick to IOR 30 minutes prior to takeoff to make the plane difficult to trace. Three fake passengers possibly in on the hijack. Pilots and crew may be in on it. Flight changed to the last minute. Same data of Diego. 1721 UTC event is electromagnetic jamming plane is flown to Penang as a waypoint and for flies directly towards the coordinates. U. S. military equipment is waiting to teleport the plane to Diego Garcia. Deals are made with the crew and passengers, countries of the passengers. Maldives sighting just north of Diego Garcia in the early morning, Philip Wood resists, where is he now, witness protection. Who is Philip Wood? Debris later thrown in the ocean. Crew lookalikes found on Facebook at Diego Garcia. Motive is control of the very technology we see in the video. And the last portion of this says, UFO emergency event. All right, it says 1721 event disconnects all four electrical generators and APU transponders similar to what an EMP or electromagnetic interference may do damage to the plane will cause it to ground quickly depressurization may be slow fire could have started lithium batteries could be a source of fuel or interest in the UFO angle copilot cell phone pings over Penang. Indicating calling for help. Next logical place to land is in the water. Other narratives, USO, UFO teleports the plane to another dimension or location. Ooh. And motive of the cover up is to hide non human intelligence and technology from the world. Whoa. Decoy plate theory. Second 777 used to spoof the pings and track trick in Marsat. This event was to gain control of patents for some nanochips related to the Rothschilds. What? This event was to gain control of patents for some nanochips related to the Rothschilds. Huh. UFO is saving the passengers from their own doom. UFO is attracted to the lithium batteries, or the governments are working with the NHI for shadowy purposes. Interesting. That is a crazy one. Crazy one. He says, submission statement, the MH370 videos are the largest verifiable conspiracy of all time. This has been a cover up by multiple nations and multiple individuals. This conspiracy has the potential to break the minds of many, as well as destroy confidence in world governments. And this came from the same individual who said, Thank you for contributing, supporting, and getting the message out. Wow. That's a... Crazy one, crazy one. That's one of my most favorite conspiracies that we've gone over. All right. Wonderful. I hope you got something out of that.

We happened to find ourselves in an amazing position, through rapid succession, finished a fundraise, then within twelve months we managed to do an IPO which was the second largest IPO I think for biotech on the Nasdaq ever, I think next to Moderna.GE was really my training ground where I learned a lot. I had this kind of crash course in corporate finance and financials and tax and dealing with businesses and doing diligence integration contracts that was a real learning and training for me in my career and probably where I laid a lot of the foundations because many of those skills you just need as an executive but you need in the scrappy start-up / scale-up environment as well, making sure you're doing the right contracts for the long term and having a bit of confidence and swagger, if you will, of how to have a vision for the company that you have.ON TOPIC: Biotech, pandemic, IPO, drug discoveryAntibodies are Mother Nature's solution for fighting off disease and infection much more broadly than just around infectious disease. They are extremely safe because they're not chemicals. They're a part of biology that people have within them in their immune response and they are effective at treating anything from pain to metabolism, to neurodegenerative disease, cancer and oncology, diabetes.The thesis of AbCellera was that lots changed since 1970s in terms of our understanding of biology – sequencing, computation, PCR, but in order to get to the next level we need to be on a different technology curve that is going to make it possible to discover these medicines. What we decided to do is, using modern technologies, rebuild the entire front-end of drug discovery with how it relates to antibodies.When the actual pandemic hit with SARS Covid-2, we were sent the first blood sample that was on north American soil in order to put our technology in our engine to work and in what was world record speed, we went from receiving a sample to dosing a patient with an antibody drug in ninety days. Which is a process that normally takes four or five years.Our thesis here was, we've made these investments in technology to make the previously impossible possible and here was our moment where we validated it.Arguably the most competitive drug development project in the history of the world - we came first - this small company out in Vancouver… In the end, our products went into about two and a half million people, saving an estimated hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations. You can spend your entire career in Biotech and not have that kind of patient impact.WHY GIVE BACKINSEAD was a foundational moment and year for all of us in our lives. The luckiest thing is like I'm having the time of my life and my career and my family as well.

This week, please join author Guest Host Mercedes Carnethon, Author Brian Bergmark, and Associate Editor Parag Joshi as they discuss the article “Effect of Vupanorsen on Non–High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in Statin-Treated Patients With Elevated Cholesterol: TRANSLATE-TIMI 70.” Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. We're your co-host. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, Associate Editor from the National Heart Center in Duke National University of Singapore. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr. Greg Hundley, Associate Editor, Director of the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Well Carolyn, this week's feature, non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in statin treated patients with elevated cholesterol. We're going to hear from the TRANSLATE-TIMI 70 study. But before we get to that, how about we grab a cup of coffee and discuss some of the other articles in the issue? Would you like to go first? Dr. Carolyn Lam: I would. And by the way, that feature is going to be all exciting. It was discussed at the American College of Cardiology. But okay, how about from cholesterol to vitamins? Let's start with the Greg quiz. Greg, which vitamins have been associated with arterial calcification? Is it A, B, C, D, E? Dr. Greg Hundley: I'm going to pick E and K. Dr. Carolyn Lam: You're smart. Indeed. Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone-7 is the most effective co-factor for the carboxylation of proteins involved in the inhibition of arterial calcification. Furthermore, combined low vitamin K and low vitamin D have been associated with increased all-cause mortality risk. And so, today's paper is from Dr. Diederichsen from Odense University Hospital in Denmark and colleagues really present the first double-blind, randomized controlled trial to test whether vitamin K2, a drug-targeting processes of calcification in addition to vitamin D, could slow the progression of aortic valve calcification and stenosis. So, in a randomized double-blind multicenter trial, men from the community with an aortic valve calcium score above 300 arbitrary units on cardiac non-contrast CT were randomized to daily treatment with 720 micrograms of vitamin K2 plus 25 micrograms of vitamin D or matching placebo for 24 months. And the primary outcome was the change in aortic valve calcium score. Dr. Greg Hundley: Carolyn, so menaquinone-7 and aortic valve score. So, what were the results? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Menaquinone-7 had no major effect on the progression of aortic valve calcification as assessed by CT or echo. High-dose menaquinone-7 was, however, safe and well tolerated. Now, some limitations is that this external validity is limited to men aged 65 to 74 with aortic valve calcification scores of greater or equals to 300 arbitrary units. Thus, caution is needed if we extrapolate these findings and other pathways need to be explored in order to identify an effective therapy for this unmet clinical need. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow, very nice Carolyn. Well, my first article comes to us from Dr. Michael Laflamme from the University Health Network. And Carolyn, human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes or hPSC-CMs exhibit promise for application in cardiac regeneration, but their translational potential is limited by an immature phenotype. So Carolyn, this research team hypothesized that large scale manufacturing of mature hPSC-CMs could be achieved via culture on polydimethylsiloxane, and we're going to call that PDMS, lined roller bottles and that the transplantation of these cells would mediate better structural and functional outcomes then with conventional immature hPSC-CMs populations. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh, that's neat, Greg. So, what did they find? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So, these authors demonstrated the economic generation of greater than one times 10 to the eighth mature hPSC-CMs per PDMS line roller bottle. And compared to their counterparts, PDMS matured hPSC-CMs exhibited increased cardiac gene expression and more mature structural and functional properties in vitro. More importantly, intracardiac graphs formed with PDMS matured myocytes showed greatly enhanced structured alignment, better host graft electromechanical integration, less pro arrhythmic behavior, and greater beneficial effects on contractile function. So in summary, Carolyn, this team describes practical methods for the scale generation of mature human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and provide the first evidence that the transplantation of more mature cardiomyocytes yields better outcomes in vivo. And there's a wonderful editorial by Professor Murray entitled Flexing Their Muscles: Maturation of Stems Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes on Elastomeric Substrates to Enhance Cardiac Repair. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow! That's really significant. Thank you, Greg. Well, the next paper is the largest genome-wide association meta-analysis of plasma ACE2 levels in over 28,000 individuals. And this is from Dr. Xia Chen from Fudan University and Dr. James Wilson from University of Edinburgh in UK, and their colleagues. And guess what, it focuses on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the etiologic agent of COVID 19. And we know that that enters human cells using the ACE2 protein as a receptor. ACE2 is thus key to the infection and treatment of the coronavirus. ACE2 is highly expressed in the heart, respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, playing important regulatory roles in the cardiovascular and other biologic systems. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow, Carolyn. ACE2, and also a very important topic here with SARS-COVID-2. So, what did they find? Dr. Carolyn Lam: First, the overall heritability of ACE2 level is 16% of which 30% can be explained by 10 protein quantitative trait loci identified in this study. ACE2 level is genetically correlated with both COVID-19 and cardiovascular. Elevated ACE2 levels show a causal relationship with COVID-19 severity, hospitalization and infection as shown by Mendelian randomization analyses. ACE2 regulatory variants are enriched on DNA methylation sites in immune cells. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow, Carolyn. So, elevated ACE2 and a causal relationship with COVID-19 severity. So tell us, what are the clinical applications of this really nice study? Dr. Carolyn Lam: The causal evidence of ACE2 suggests that pharmacological inhibition of circulating ACE2 may be a promising approach for treating COVID-19 or its comorbidities. Transcription factors that play essential roles in ACE2 generation could provide alternative paths to pharmacological modulation of ACE2 plasma levels. The genetic correlations between ACE2 and both COVID-19 and cardiovascular disease imply that the cardiovascular complications seen in COVID-19 patients may be intrinsic to the disease and mechanically or/and mechanistically-driven by ACE2. Isn't that neat? Dr. Greg Hundley: You bet, Carolyn. Boy, what an exciting issue. And we've got other articles in this issue. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Yeah. Now, let me start this time. There's an exchange of letters between Drs. Duan and Chang regarding the article “Therapeutic Exon Skipping Through a CRISPR-Guided Cytidine Deaminase Rescues Dystrophic Cardiomyopathy in Vivo.” There's a Perspective piece by Dr. Morris, “The Updated Heart Failure Guidelines: Time for a Refresh.” Love that piece! There's an AHA Update piece (AHA President's Page) by Dr. Elkin on The Road to Equity in Brain Health, and ECG challenge by Dr. Kolominsky, Electrical Extremists in a Critically ill Patient, and an On My Mind Paper by Dr. Paulus entitled “Border Disputes Between Heart Failure Phenotypes.” Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow, Carolyn. And I've got two Research Letters. The first from Professor Groeneveld entitled “Prevalence of Short-Coupled Ventricular Fibrillation in a Large Cohort of Dutch Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation Patients.” And then a second Research Letter from Professor Yamashita entitled “Single Cell RNA Sequence Reveals a Distinct Immune Landscape of Myeloid Cells in Coronary Culprit Plaques Causing Acute Coronary Syndrome.” Well Carolyn, now, we get to go onto our feature, vupanorsen on non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and catching up with TIMI 70. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Let's go. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: So, good morning listeners. I'm really pleased to invite you to this episode of our Circulation on the Run podcast. For those of you who don't hear me often, I'm stepping in as a guest host today. My name is Mercedes Carnahan from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. And I'm really excited to be joined today by Dr. Brian Bergmark, and associate editor, Dr. Parag Joshi. And we will have today Dr. Bergmark discussing his new article published with us on the effects of vupanorsen on non-HDL cholesterol levels in the TRANSLATE-TIMI 70 trial. We're really thrilled to have you with us here today, Brian, to talk about the really important findings coming from this trial. So to start us off, just tell us, what did you find? Dr. Brian Bergmark: Great. Thank you so much. It's really a pleasure to be here and I'm grateful for the opportunity. So, in the big picture, despite numerous agents to reduce lipid-mediated cardiovascular risk, obviously, residual risk remains and there are novel targets to address that risk. One of them is angiopoietin-like 3, which is a protein made in the liver. Angiopoietin-like 3 or ANGPTL3 inhibits lipoprotein lipases among other lipases, and thereby interferes with metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. And so, the idea here was that if ANGPTL3 could be inhibited that LPL or lipoprotein lipase function could be augmented and metabolism of these lipoproteins could be augmented. And so, what we did is we took patients with an elevated non-HDL cholesterol, at least 100 milligrams per deciliter, and elevated triglycerides, 150 to 500 milligrams per deciliter, and randomized them to placebo or one of seven doses of vupanorsen, which is an antisense oligonucleotide, which inhibits the synthesis of ANGPTL3 in the liver. We then follow them to see what the impact was on their non-HDL cholesterol, as well as other lipid parameters through 24 weeks. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much. It's a wonderful design, and I'm really excited to hear a little bit more about what you found. Dr. Brian Bergmark: Great. So, the primary endpoint was the change in non-HDL cholesterol from baseline to 24 weeks. And we did find that all vupanorsen regimens reduced non-HDL cholesterol in a statistically significant manner. The magnitude of that effect was up to 27.7% in one of the dose arms or about 28%. We also saw a statistically significant reductions in the target ANGPTL3 up to about a 95% reduction in the highest dose arm, as well as statistically significant reductions in triglycerides at all of the dose regimens. The effect on LDL cholesterol and on apolipoprotein B or apo B was variable across regimens and only statistically significant in a few of the dose arms. We also found several safety signals. One, there appeared to be higher rates of injection site reactions in the skin at higher total monthly doses. We also found higher rates of elevation in liver enzymes, AST and ALT at higher total monthly doses. And we also found significant increases in hepatic fat fraction or the fat content of the liver at higher total monthly doses. Dr. Brian Bergmark: In the end, we found that while statistically significant, the magnitude of the reduction in non-HDL cholesterol was modest as was the reduction in apo B. And so, the goal here was to find a dose that might have a reduction of a magnitude that would be clinically meaningful for cardiovascular risk reduction. We were underwhelmed by the magnitude of that reduction, and then it was paired with these safety signals, which if there's interest, we could get into more detail in our thinking about why those occurred, what the implications are, but suffice it to say that there were medically meaningful safety concerns paired with a modest reduction in non-HDL cholesterol. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you for that excellent summary. Before I turn it over to the associate editor, I read this with great interest, and in particular, looking at one of the first figures in the paper, which is demonstrating the adjusted change at 24 weeks across different doses and based on how frequently the doses were given the four week as compared with the two week. And one thing that really stood out to me was the clear dose response with the four week regimens with the higher doses appearing to demonstrate the greatest reductions but a less clear signal with the two week regimens. Do you have any hypotheses about why these patterns appeared so different? Dr. Brian Bergmark: Yeah. It's a great question. So, the responsiveness of this is something of interest here I think. So, if you look at the effect of the drug on its target, ANGPTL3, there is a very clear dose response, so there's no doubt that higher doses were impacting the target ANGPTL3 to a greater extent. So, one of the most direct effects would be on triglycerides, one of the most direct lipid effects, and that appears pretty close to a dose response relationship within each of these frequencies of administration. But once you start getting to non-HDL cholesterol, it starts to break down a bit. And is it simply because of random chance or is there actually something distinct going on with how the lipids are being metabolized? Dr. Brian Bergmark: That is something we are diving into. So, the hope would be that we actually reduce apo B, the number of these actually circulating lipoproteins as has been demonstrated with the monoclonal antibody. It's possible that with this other different mechanism in the antibody, this antisense oligonucleotide, perhaps, we're simply shifting the content of these lipoprotein molecules and decreasing the triglyceride content but not actually meaningfully modifying the amount of apo B, LDL cholesterol. And that might be part of what we're seeing with the more muted relationship between dose and the effect on non-HDL cholesterol. I don't know for certain we are diving into this a bit more with other lipid fractions, et cetera. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Oh, well, thank you so much for that explanation. I know that a number of people, this was extremely well received when shared at the recent American College of Cardiology meetings, and so I was really thrilled to find that this was appearing in the journal circulation. So Parag, I'm really interested in hearing your perspectives on why we knew that this was certainly a priority paper for us. Dr. Parag Joshi: Yeah. Let me first start, Brian, congratulations. Fantastic work. And we were excited to receive the paper. I think really hard to pull off trials right now or in the last couple years, so kudos to you. And I echo the sentiments from Mercedes. This is great work. Really important space, the residual risk space I think is very important of course and is critical to moving forward with improving cardiovascular health. So, one of the big picture questions and as we get to this triglyceride-rich lipoprotein lowering space, certainly, there's strong associations with residual risk, but can we impact that risk? And here, we're starting to explore that. And I think when you think of the lipoprotein space, many of us are interested in what is the effect on these lipoproteins as opposed to the cholesterol content or the triglyceride content. And non-HDL cholesterol or apo B, clearly, the better, stronger markers for that risk, so we were really excited to see this paper.   Dr. Parag Joshi: And as Brian mentioned, unfortunately, not the strongest impact here on those measures. And I want to dive into that a little more because I think that carries significant implications for the space, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on that. But overall, really fantastic work. I think my first question really is around the apo B aspect of this and the less than anticipated lowering of those levels. You hinted at this in terms of, is this shuffling cholesterol and triglycerides across particles, or do you think this could be the mechanism by which this happens through ANGPTL3? You do inhibit the levels quite a bit. Did we just miss that... Is this not the right target? What do you think? Dr. Brian Bergmark: Yeah, it's a great question. I do think the target itself holds great promise. Obviously, a monoclonal antibody against this same target results in major reductions in apo B, LDL cholesterol, and the latter through a mechanism that is not really known but is not dependent on the LDL receptor, and therefore has real clinical utility that's approved for people with familial homozygous hypercholesterolemia. Beyond that, of course, in genetic studies, there's a clear association with loss of function in the ANGPTL3 gene and lower levels of all of these lipids, lower rates of coronary artery disease, et cetera. Dr. Brian Bergmark: So, I think it's not that this pathway is not promising and actually already being taken advantage of, I think it's that this particular agent acting through this mechanism was not able to achieve a necessary efficacy with reasonable safety. Some genetic data suggests that there is not actually a dose response between a reduction or loss of function in ANGPTL3 and reduction in apo B or lower levels of apo B and non-HDL cholesterol, but it really requires your complete elimination of ANGPTL3 function, which is probably, likely achieved with the monoclonal antibody. And so, even though we had quite large reductions with the antisense oligonucleotide, perhaps, we just didn't cross that threshold that's needed to modify the lipid panel in the way that would've been clinically meaningful. Dr. Parag Joshi: Yeah. I think that's fantastic as you allude to with evolocumab and the impact that has on apo B levels. I didn't think of it as a threshold effect, but that makes a lot of sense as maybe that just getting to that tipping point is where the issue is here. In terms of the liver signal, what were your thoughts on that? And is that something that we should expect to see in ASOs or do you think it's specific to this compound? Dr. Brian Bergmark: Yeah, I don't know. That was unexpected. Right, there are two liver signals and it's unclear how related they are. One is the inflammation of the liver as indicated by the elevation in enzymes, and then the other is the fat accumulation. So with respect to the fact, if anything, genetic data suggests perhaps loss of function in ANGPTL3 might result in lower rates of hepatic steatosis. In animal models, the antisense oligonucleotide reduces liver fat, and so there's, there was promise going into this that this could actually be beneficial for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. And additionally, there's not data to suggest that the monoclonal antibody increases liver fat. So, there's not a lot to support this as being an on-target effect that by inhibiting ANGPTL3, by that pathway, the liver fat was increased. So, I think a reasonable person might wonder whether this was an off-target effect of the drug. Dr. Brian Bergmark: By what mechanism that occurred, I don't know, what the implications would be for other related agents, I don't know. And then similarly, the liver enzyme elevations, is that related to this? I'm not exactly sure, but also unexpected and I think off-target. But that sort of intrinsic to this mechanism of hepatic targeting, is this something we need to be worried about for other agents in this class or not? I don't know. Obviously, we can't answer that from this single study. We are going to dive into it a bit more to try to overlay patients with hepatic fat accumulation, liver enzymes, et cetera. Of course, both of those happen more at higher doses. How much we can really parse this? I'm not sure yet. Dr. Parag Joshi: Yeah. That's really fascinating. I think the appeal of this paper to the circulation audience is that you have a really exciting novel target and pathway to explore here but somewhat divergent results from what's existing in this space. And I think that raises a lot of questions, really interesting questions going forward for this space. For the ANGPTL3 pathway, what do you see there coming down the line or what are your thoughts on that going forward for this target and ways to approach risk related to it? Dr. Brian Bergmark: Yeah. Great. Thank you. Yeah. No, so I agree. I think moving into this other end of the spectrum of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, et cetera, I think this is where we're headed and this is why we do the trial. We weren't expecting these things that's why you do this experiment, and this is what we found. So now, where do we go from here? So there are, of course, other ways beyond the monoclonal antibody of targeting ANGPTL3 specifically. There's siRNA, there is gene therapy being investigated. So, I think all of them hold an great promise. And of course, we will need to see as those therapies move along what the actual trials show. And then there are, of course, other pathways that are of interest, APOC3, for instance. So, I think there's a lot more in this space that's coming down the line. Dr. Parag Joshi: Yeah, absolutely. I think it's a really exciting space, and we're really happy to get this paper as one piece of that whole puzzle. So, thank you. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Yes. And I echo that as well. And as a methodologist myself, I'm always really pleased to see such well-designed studies. I think this was sophisticated in many aspects in testing different dosing and different timing of the dosing. And also, I'm really impressed by your inclusion criteria, particularly when I noted that 44% of the participants were female, and that you reported those stratum-specific effects. I just had a final question as we wrap up. You acknowledge a nominally significant interaction by sex and I see, for example, that it appears that the magnitude is larger possibly in the relatively smaller subset of females as compared with males. Is this something to pay attention to or do you think this is just some type of an artifact related to greater variability because the group is smaller? Dr. Brian Bergmark: Yeah, it's a good question. So, this is the burning question. We had no a priority reason to suspect that biologically and we are not adjusting for multiple testing in the key value of 0.04. So just to put my money down, I would say, I would guess it's random chance. We found it. It's worthy of looking into a bit more. There were, of course, the important implications for other drugs, et cetera. So, I think it's worth diving into as we will, but are we likely to uncover some biological difference? I doubt it. I wouldn't guess. There are other subgroups where I think at least upfront, you might expect there could be a difference. So, there are thoughts about insulin's effect on LPL. Could diabetes status have an interaction with the drug? I think though not statistically significant, it's also something worth looking into that group and the subfractions of the lipid panel and all of that stuff. So, I think it's all worth looking into but cautiously with the constraints. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, thank you so much for that explanation. And I've really enjoyed this discussion with you today, Brian, and you, Parag. I've certainly learned a lot and I'm really excited to see this excellent work coming out in the journal circulation. So, thank you very much for your time this morning and thank you to our listeners. Wrapping up this episode of Circulation on the Run.

Casting Down the Dragon (2) (Audio) David Eells - 4/13/22 Happy New Year 2029  Andrew Gelinas - 2/25/22 (David's notes in red)    Lets take another look at the possibilities here. Remember the dreams we had of the tribulation "covenant with many" starting and the people did not know it? Many conservative people don't know what just happened; a "covenant with many" called NESARA GESARA was declared on April 1st that could very well be the beginning of the tribulation.) I dreamt I was riding a white horse on a straight road. (A white horse represents sanctified flesh that is under the control of the spirit man and the straight road is the straight and narrow path that we walk on in order to enter the kingdom of Heaven. This is a description of the Man-child reformer ministries revealed as the White Horse rider in the first seal of the Tribulation in Revelation 6. So this is a sign of the beginning of the Tribulation.) I was instructed by someone I could neither see nor hear, to make an announcement to a multitude of people who I knew were concealed behind a mist or cloud just off the right side of the road. (These people represent those who are hidden in the cleft of the Rock during the Tribulation as in A. A. Allen's vision. This announcement is made because they don't know the tribulation is beginning.) I shouted “HAPPY NEW YEAR 2029!” (While still in the dream, I understood 2029 to be 7 years from now.) (Isn't it interesting that the nations are coming together in agreement at this time and when has that ever happened? The Tribulation starts with Daniels “covenant with many”. Some educated speculation is involved here because this word “Now” could have different interpretations. Obviously Israel's Biblical New Year started in Spring according to Exo 12:2, 13:3; and was called by God, Abib 1, and later called Nissan 1.  Nissan 1 for the Hebrew Year 5782 begins at sundown on Friday, April 1st 2022 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, April 2nd 2022. The original word Abib 1 is New Year Apr 2nd and 3rd. These are actually the same day but have been calculated one day off by some people. So this interpretation is pointing to a literal “Now”.     If we back up 7 years from that date we come to the beginning of the Tribulation 7 years on April 1st - 2nd. Using a broader interpretation for “Now”, there are other New Years like the Jewish secular New Year in the Fall or our Gregorian calendar New Year. If one of these were true “Now” would simply mean this year. I favor the more precise “Now”. Another huge significance to this Abib 1 date was declared in Operation Disclosure, reported by those representing the Alliance of nations headed by President Trump, which is tearing down the beast of Babylon D.S.. • Fri. 1 April was Checkmate: Restoration of the US Republic to concepts of the Original Constitution and finalization of the Global Currency Reset to gold/ asset-backed currency. • At 12:01 am 1 April the Restored Republic would be in effect, and was the start of GESARA / NESARA, plus gold / asset-backed USN and USTN activation. (This is a New One World Order. Although the announcement to the public was said to come around Easter?) • Fri. 1 April was the beginning of the first quarter of the new Quantum Financial System (QFS) using the Quantum Computer and new digital currency of Blockchain. From now on trading of all nations would be done with gold/asset-backed currency. • Last Year Juan O Savin said that Donald Trump would be recognized as the US President by April Fool's Day Fri. 1 April. [My Note: As we have seen, the Man-child ministries will run parallel to this. Cyrus conquered Babylon on the same night that Daniel, As a type of the Man-child, was promoted over the kingdom. Jesus, as a type of the end time corporate Man-child, started His ministry by being baptized unto death and resurrection and then went through 40 days of temptation. He was a relatively unknown preacher at this time. Then He quickly demonstrated His Man-child anointing with power.] • At 12:01 am 1 April was the start of GESARA/ NESARA, plus the USN, USTN and Restored Republic would be in effect. (Although the announcement to the public was said to come around Easter?) • Fox News Reported on a White Hat Military Election Sting Operation: Watermarked Ballots in 12 Key States showed that Trump won the 2020 Election. Military arrests of high profile political elites involved in that 2020 Election Fraud have been made and those charged with sedition now reside in Prison Barges at GITMO awaiting Tribunals.)   Transfiguration of the Man-child  Bill Steenland - 3-31-22 (Notice the date of this revelation is at the very beginning of April 1.)  I dreamed I was at a burger restaurant called “5 guys” eating. (Representing those under Grace devouring much flesh.) I was told by the waitress that I was going to witness the transfiguration or a transfiguration of the Man-child at Clingmans dome. (While there on April 1?) That was it!  I remembered inside the dream, prior dreams I had about thermite plasma being tested at Clingmans Dome. (This represents their flesh being burned up, or death to self.) (Clingmans Dome is a place we often visited in the Great Smokie Mountains. It's one of the highest peaks east of the Mississippi.) Maybe that represents this? Rev 14:1-4  And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, (Meaning they are the leadership of God's people and the Lamb their King David.)  and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. (This we have recognized for 50 years as the anointing of the corporate body of Man-child reformers.) 2  And I heard a voice from heaven, (Meaning they are on the earth) as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping with their harps:  3  and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand, even they that had been purchased out of the earth.  4  These are they that were not defiled with women (religious sects); for they are virgins (They have received only the seed of the Lord which is HIS Word.). These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to be the first-fruits unto God and unto the Lamb. (Meaning they are the first to come to this first-fruit manifestation after Jesus who was called the first-fruits also.)   Into the Nuclear Bunkers RT - 3/28/20 / Updated 1 year ago (David's notes in red) The text off the link that Bill sent us below is from 2020 when the military went to the underground bunkers claiming it was preparation for the Pandemic however if a real pandemic broke out, all of the military leadership and political leadership, being in close quarters, could get wiped out by just one infected soldier.  These bunkers are under the ground of 2000' of granite to withstand a nuclear war. The left tried to start a nuclear war at least twice under Obama, which would have legally kept the sitting President in power but everyone was wise to him.  What if the Alliance in their planning a fake Nuclear WWIII to scare the world into the Nesara/Gesara, a "covenant with many", while the left plans on then making it into a real WWIII to stay in power using their agent provocateurs in the midst to strike at all sides, which they are so good at? Look at the preparation for nuclear WW here under the guise of preparing for Covid: On 8/27/21 William Steenland wrote, “This news article sure seems odd, especially now that NORAD & NORTHCOM went underground”.  Run for the hills! Pentagon sends teams into MOUNTAIN BUNKERS as pandemic preparations go into full swing. The US' Northern Command has sent teams of essential staff deep underground to wait out the Covid-19 pandemic… (It has nothing to do with C/19 as they are saying... the military knows that this is not a problem and it is actually the vac/ci/nes that are the true plague. They will prosecute those who foisted this depopulation scam on the world.) Air Force General Terrence O'Shaughnessy heads up the US' Northern Command, as well as the North American Aerospace Defense Command – a joint US/Canadian operation that monitors the skies over North America for missile and airborne threats. Earlier this week, O'Shaughnessy told reporters via Facebook that some of his watch teams would be moved from their usual command center at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado to a number of hardened underground bunkers. One of these facilities is the Cheyenne Mountain bunker complex, a warren of tunnels buried under 2,000 feet (610m) of granite, and sealed behind blast doors designed to withstand a 30 megaton nuclear explosion...  Another team has been sent to an undisclosed location, O'Shaughnessy added. Installations like Cheyenne Mountain are integral to the US government's plan to survive a doomsday scenario. In the event of an existential threat to the US, a nuclear attack for instance, the president and his officials, as well as a contingent of political, military and civilian leaders would be immediately evacuated to four secure facilities to run the country from deep underground…  (The following is what we predicted back in 2020: It's a fake WWIII scare to get all the militaries of the world out so they can then go against the DS world wide.  They are saying there will be a nuke scare because the nuclear reactors would be hacked.  This is a WWIII scare to bring people to desire the covenant.  After both WWI and WWII the world fearfully made peace covenants, the League of Nations after WWI and then the UN after WWII.  Both were attempts to stop coming World Wars. This time the WWIII scare is to force the world into the tribulation dragon covenant which I predicted when Hidden Manna was written many years ago. So what if the left is planning on making this a real WWIII? This nuclear scare to bring all nations into a covenant at this time could become real… It will begin with the Lord appearing in His Man-child, White Horse Rider reformers as the first seal of Rev 6. The Lord in the Man-child body comes first with His “recompense which is before Him” and then a real WWIII comes as the second seal. The Man-child, Tribulation and beginning of WWIII is seen here. Rev 6:1-8  And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come.  2  And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. (Jesus manifested in the Man-child ministry by Word and Spirit.)   3  And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.  4  And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (Notice: We could start with a fake WWIII and then end with a real WWIII.) (Update" Pray down a suspected false flag in NYC on April 18, 2022 to blame the Russians and bring us into WW.)  5  And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand.  6  And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a shilling, and three measures of barley for a shilling; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not. (A food shortage is starting now.) (Update: Food has become extremely expensive as we see here.) 7  And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come.  8  And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, (his name was Death); and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Update: We are seeing these “wild beast empires” fighting it out. We are also seeing that they have prepared 3 more dangerous plagues.)  (Operation Disclosure showed Recently the former CDC director said a “great pandemic” of Avian Flu is coming: “I've always said that the Covid-19 Pandemic was a wake-up call. I don't believe this is the “great pandemic”. I believe that the “Great Pandemic” is still ahead, and it will be a pandemic of Avian Influenza for a person with a significant mortality in the range of 10-50%. It will be a disaster.”) (Covid-19 was only 1.6%)   US Government Diagnosing Chickens with Bird Flu using Fraudulent PCR Tests, then Slaughtering Them April 07, 2022 by: Ethan Huff   There is another engineered plandemic taking place, this time against U.S. poultry. According to the government, avian flu, or bird flu, is sweeping across chicken and turkey farms, which means officials must slaughter these birds in order to keep people from eating their meat and eggs – even though cooked meat and eggs are admittedly safe for consumption. Using the same fraudulent PCR tests that were used to “diagnose” Americans with the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), government officials are now mass-testing poultry and slaughtering them whenever the results come up “positive.” The latest poultry genocide has occurred in Iowa, where 5.3 million hens and 88,000 turkeys were killed due to allegedly being infected with bird flu. All across the nation, some 22 million egg-laying chickens, 1.8 million broiler chickens, 1.9 million pullet and other commercial chickens, and 1.9 million turkeys have been put down so far amid the panic. Since the alleged “outbreak” began about a month ago, operations all across the country have been forced to put down more than 18 million chickens and 305,000 turkeys. Conveniently, the “outbreak” occurred right as the plandemic mask mandates ended and Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. “Iowa is the nation's leading egg producer and had 46 million chickens on farms in February, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data,” reported CBS News in Minnesota. “Iowa raises about 11.7 million turkeys annually.” Piece by piece, they're decimating the global economy and greasing the wheels for mass starvation The USDA claims that 23 states now have confirmed cases of avian flu, the policy for which is to destroy all birds in the vicinity and use their remains for farm compost. The alleged disease is said to spread via the droppings or nasal discharge of infected wild birds such as ducks and geese. The claim is that these droppings and discharges taint dust and soil, spreading the virus throughout poultry populations. “Infected wild birds have been found in at least 26 states, and the virus has been circulating in migrating waterfowl in Europe and Asia for nearly a year,” the corporate-controlled media claims. “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the cases in birds do not present an immediate public health concern. No human cases of the avian influenza virus have been detected in the United States. It remains safe to eat poultry products. Cooking of poultry and eggs to an internal temperature of 165 [degrees] F kills bacteria and viruses.” If there is no immediate public health concern, then why the need to destroy all these birds at a time when their meat and eggs are desperately needed due to shortages and inflation? Does the timing of all this seem suspect to anyone else? It sure does to this writer, who is observing a systematic takedown of the global economy, one piece at a time. There was COVID, then there was bird flu and the invasion of Ukraine, and now there is skyrocketing inflation, fuel shortages, and other problems all slamming the world at once. Is this all just a big coincidence? Or is every component of this part of a multi-year plandemic protocol to take out the food supply, fossil fuels, and entire economies so they can be absorbed into a new world order where everyone owns nothing and is “happy” – everyone who actually survives, that is.   Plagues and Food Supply Problem has Become More Dangerous Clips from Operation Disclosure: The D.S. releases the next plagues. Covid 19 did not escape from Wuhan. With the court-ordered release of Pfizer documents on 1 March, we were just now discovering that North Carolina University Chapel Hill level 4 lab. of Duke University was the origination point of Sars Covid 19. The real truth was that hundreds of U.S. funded Bio-labs across the world received the SARS and other pathogens from the U.S, grew the Pathogens in mass formation (multiplied the production of the SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, etc.) and then released the Pathogens in sequence on many countries. While the Main Stream Media distracted the public with fake news about Ukraine – the center of D.S. operations – the Play Book of the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Chinese Communist Party and Khazarian Mafia called for controlling civilization through a war on food distribution and digital banking in an operation named Lock Step. Having created hunger and starvation by interrupting global food supply chains, the Deep State government would then step in as heros and give out food rations and free money, but you would have to register through their digital banking system that controlled your banking and connection to the new system. If you broke any agreements of a long worded pressed digital document, your bank accounts and assets would be frozen. You could not speak, write or share "mis-information" on the current pandemic procedures, vaccines, virus origins, war info. That would contradict the mainstream narration. While the White Hats were behind the scenes channeling this Deep State Lock Step Plan into a Great Awakening and Global Currency Reset, it was strongly advised to have enough food, fuel, cash and essential supplies for 30-90 days.   Tribulation and Beast Covenant David Eells - 8-29-21 I have said for a long time that Nesara/Gesara is good in the beginning because Trump as Cyrus is using it to free the people of God from Babylonish captivity and giving them the money to rebuild the Kingdom of God.  The second stage of this covenant I have been quiet about for several reasons that are of God. The people of God need to accept this first stage because it is a good repetition of history that rebuilds the Kingdom. But they need to opt out of the second stage because it leads to a One World Order uniting of all nations, a world currency, and the mark of the beast.  This part is a return of the same kind of communist DS tyrants we are being rid of in stage one. Although we must refuse their “Mark" we do not make physical war against it for it is prophesied by God in order to separate the tares from the wheat.  So if the Nesara/Gesara covenant is ultimately the “covenant with many” which is upon us, does this make P. Trump "the antichrist”?  Many will think so but they will be wrong as they usually are and as we will see. We should not lose sight of the fact that history is repeating because God is on the throne and He said it always will.  Cyrus of the Medio-Persian Beast Empire conquered the Babylonian Beast Empire so they are both Beasts… But Cyrus/Trump is setting us free in stage one so give the Lord through him the credit.  In stage one the Babylonian DS faction including their “Church” faction crucified the Man-child and Bride before the Tribulation to get them ready to lead, teach, and reform the Church in their stage two wilderness tribulation crucifixion. It is the same M.O. for two different groups of people and two different times; The Man-child and Bride bodies and then the rest of the Church.  First, we must have the educators educated to reveal the true Kingdom and its demands and then the Church must take the test; the tribulation or trial.  Update 4-13-22: The 7 headed 10 horned Dragon and Beast of Revelation are making this covenant in two fazes. The seed of all 7 world ruling heads, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece, and Rome and revived Rome of the 10 toes of this Beast in Daniels vision are making this covenant through their principalities. The most noticeable are Media - Persia (Cyrus/Trump) and Greece (Full anti-christ) in the second stage mid tribulation war on the saints. The super principality over all is Rome because they are now the ten toes representing the whole world's continental divisions.    Immunity From Plagues by Promise David Eells 4-12-22 Psa 91:2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His is a truth shield and a buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. Paul said, "The Lord will deliver me from every evil work” (2 Tim 4:18). He also said that Jesus bore the curse so that we would be blessed in Gal.3:13,14 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:  14  that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.  He also said the sacrifice for our health was Jesus in 1Pe 2:24  who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.  He also said in Col.1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love.  Do you believe it ?    Select Language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Azerbaijani Basque Belarusian Bengali Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Corsican Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Esperanto Estonian Filipino Finnish French Frisian Galician Georgian German Greek Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Hawaiian Hebrew Hindi Hmong Hungarian Icelandic Igbo Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Javanese Kannada Kazakh Khmer Kinyarwanda Korean Kurdish (Kurmanji) Kyrgyz Lao Latin Latvian Lithuanian Luxembourgish Macedonian Malagasy Malay Malayalam Maltese Maori Marathi Mongolian Myanmar (Burmese) Nepali Norwegian Odia (Oriya) Pashto Persian Polish Portuguese Punjabi Romanian Russian Samoan Scots Gaelic Serbian Sesotho Shona Sindhi Sinhala Slovak Slovenian Somali Spanish Sundanese Swahili Swedish Tajik Tamil Tatar Telugu Thai Turkish Turkmen Ukrainian Urdu Uyghur Uzbek Vietnamese Welsh Xhosa Yiddish Yoruba Zulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version

Well, it's been a while! Hello again. It's been 2 years since the start of the global pandemic for SARS COVID 19 - and I'm finally ready to start again. I feel inspired to share stories about women abroad, and so I'm starting up again with a short series that I'm calling, the COVID chapters. What I hope to achieve with this series is to share stories of hope, of happiness, joy, and triumph, that despite the dark times around the world... there were still good things that happened. Special stories that deserved to be shared alongside the bad. So i'm using this as my own personal time capsule, and I hope that you will join me in listening in on this short series.

Message Log 82, 03/20/2052 - JEWL 3-1-2 Dear fellow humans. I hope our warnings about the next waves of covid variants were taken seriously. Because the next one is knocking at your doorstep right now. This one will be far more contagious than the previous variant. In fact, it will go down in history as one of the most contagious diseases ever. For the time being, at least. America will take a direct hit. The supply chain problems will worsen. The economy will reveal even more cracks as new alliances form in the midst of the war and political outrage further divides you. In the ongoing battle for normalcy, the elderly, the ill, and the sick continued to get infected and die, providing an ideal breeding ground for new variants to emerge and fueling an ostensibly perpetual pandemic. Then the worst nightmare came true! In the years that follow, a SARS COVID super strand will emerge, eradicating a quarter of the population. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vines/message

Animal Clinic Dr. Jevon Clark connected with John Hendricks and Robin Mitchell during the KGEZ Good Morning Show Glacier Bank Community Conversation on Tuesday January 25 , 2022 to remark on SARS Covid in cats, barking dogs and aging cats!

Los microbicidas constituyen una herramienta para la prevención de enfermedades. Algunos –como el cobre-- se usan desde hace siglos o milenios. Otros se investigan en laboratorios de todo el mundo. Científicos españoles han identificado un vidrio sodocálcico y arcilla caolín, que contienen nanopartículas capaces de reducir la infectividad viral más del 99% en 10 minutos de contacto. Se ha probado con éxito con el SARS-Covid 2, adenovirus y con los virus de la gripe y del herpes simple. Hemos entrevistado a Estanislao Nistal, virólogo y profesor en la Universidad CEU-San Pablo, coautor del estudio. Adeline Marcos nos ha contado dos estudios que han permitido identificar distintas especies animales a partir del ADN presente en el aire del entorno de zoológicos. Carlos Briones nos ha hablado de un experimento realizado por científicos japoneses que ha logrado que pequeñas cadenas de aminoácidos proliferen y se encapsulen. Aunque todavía se está lejos del desarrollo de sistemas autorreplicativos, una característica de los seres vivos, es un estudio interesante sobre el origen de la vida. Con José Antonio López Guerrero hemos analizado el reciente estudio de la universidad de Harvard que relaciona el virus Epstein Barr (causante de la mononucleosis o “enfermedad del beso”) con la esclerosis múltiple. Jesús Zamora ha reflexionado sobre el sentido que pueden tener determinadas preguntas que se pueden hacer en ciencia, cuando las respuestas están condicionadas no solo por las limitaciones técnicas, sino por el cambio de las circunstancias que se producen en el tiempo. Con Javier Ablanque y su máquina del tiempo hemos viajado a un gulag ruso en 1944, para conocer a Lev Termen, inventor de La Cosa, un instrumento de espionaje del que ya hablamos en un programa anterior, y del instrumento musical electrónico denominado theremín.

Dr. Paul Cook, Professor of Medicine at ECU's Brody School of Medicine, and an expert in the area of infectious diseases, including SARS-COVID and HIV, talks what a COVID endemic will be like-timeline/will our vaccines stand-up/need boosters every year/Omicron—Non-Profit Spotlight: Red Cross

The gang is back with returning guest, Pavlos Roufos, for a spicy discussion about ever-contentious pandemic politics and how the left should relate to it: Why has SARS-COVID 19 and the state response to it caused such an uproar in parts of Europe and the United States? What contradictory functions does the capitalist state perform in class society, and how has this led to disaster? What is the attraction of denialism among the populist right and, increasingly, parts of the left? Is there a rational kernel inside the mystical shell of COVID conspiracism? How have the unvaccinated been made a scapegoat for the failures of the bourgeois state? And is there anything recuperable within the waves of protest and direct action against mandates and vaccines? Even spicier bonus episode will be available for subscribers at www.patreon.com/theantifada to sign up today. Special thanks from all of us to our friends at Cured Quail for publishing the collective article in question: https://curedquailjournal.wordpress.com/2021/12/09/the-reality-of-denial-and-the-denial-of-reality/ Outro: Juice WRLD - Denial

Happy Thursday. This is Elliot lane, host of cannabis daily. Thrilled to be back with you for fourth time this week on your second week of 2022.Thanks as always to Aaron Thomas, our fearless producer, as well as Benzinga for the platform. This show is designed. To bring you cannabis news and insights for investible information for the day. So let's dive right in tons to chat about today on multiple levels. And some things I can't leave off, but aren't necessarily focused on the public markets.Let's dive in Delta. DLT an F on the OTC provides guidance and timing for their financial year, 20, 21 year in results. They anticipate the quarter ending December 31st to bring in between 16.6 and 17.4 million. That is between a 17 and 23% increase year over year and nine and 14% quarter over quarter.That is in Canadian dollars fiscal year, 2021 results to be between. To be somewhere around 61.8 and 62.6 million compared to 52.1 million for fiscal year 2020. So Delta nine, definitely making improvements year over year and believe me y'all there are some good businesses in this industry in Canada.Let's not forget about them. Delta nine is one of them, one of the OGs in the Canadian. Next up the talk of the town, I would say for the last 24 or so hours a study out of, I believe it's Oregon state university says cannabis may block and or help people to not get COVID or SARS COVID 19. This is a huge, funny and people such as Jimmy Kimmel are saying, why are we listening to the CDC when we could just take CBD?So with that being said I may look at my daily routine and add in some more cannabis. We'll see Huxton cannabis announces plans to bring weed to metaphor. People like relating to objects they know, and this could give them the option to get digitally stoned. I will let you all create your own opinions about this.I just ask why pure extracts, P R X T F on the OTC signs, a white. Custom manufacturing license agreement with a west coast licensed producer to be named, to launch a line of vape products, not a stock. We talk about a lot, but one that's been around and active for several years now, Austin, Texas will have a decriminalization initiative on the ballot.Other Texas cities will soon to follow activists for cannabis in the state have had little success on that level statewide in cannabis reforms. They're starting to turn their attention to the local level per normal in O R N O R M l.org.

So that may be part of the reason, but there's another 560 people are serving partially related to marijuana, serving sentences, partially related to marijuana. So something to keep an eye on.I do hope at least those 10 people are able to get out of their sentence a little early. executive chair that see you RLF on the OTC, their executive chair, Boris Jordan, and six others.

We regularly buy our food from markets without a second thought. But to take charge of our health and nutrition, we have to ask: are these foods really good for us?  From produce to sauces, our food can be chock-full of harmful chemicals without us knowing about it. Even if you are a more conscious shopper, the industry labels ingredients to take on deceptively natural-sounding names. Fresh produce can also be laden with pesticides. So, how can we be more discerning about our food?  Celebrity nutritionist Cyndi O'Meara joins us in this episode to discuss how we can watch out for harmful foods. She shares how food production and supply have changed drastically over the years. Her advice? Check the label. She also recommends being a nutrition activist by taking matters into your own hands and doing your own research.  If you want to know more about eating real food for wellness, then this episode is for you!    Get Customised Guidance for Your Genetic Make-Up For our epigenetics health programme, optimising your fitness, lifestyle, nutrition, and mental performance to your specific genes, go to  https://www.lisatamati.com/page/epigenetics-and-health-coaching/.   Customised Online Coaching for Runners CUSTOMISED RUN COACHING PLANS — How to Run Faster, Be Stronger, Run Longer  Without Burnout & Injuries Have you struggled to fit in training in your busy life?

So, she decided to study human anatomy instead. After university, she started doing nutrition consultations. She advised her clients to shift from the SAD (standard Australian diet) to real foods. Her approach worked wonders for her clients. But forty years later, this type of nutrition shift is no longer enough.  Due to the consumption of ultra-processed foods, many people's food sensitivities require individualised nutrition. [09:40] The Food Industry's Tricks The food industry has become sneakier over the years.  Many packaged and processed foods smell and look like real food even when they are not. For example, vanilla flavouring can be the product of bacteria's consumption of a substrate.  These substrates can be animal-, plant-, or even plastic-based.   Many food additives are a product of synthetic biology. Listen to the full episode to learn more!  [14:29] The Changing Landscape of Our Food Supply The industry now uses genetic modification on microbes, not just on crops.  Genetically modified corn produces toxins that cause bugs' stomachs to explode, which we then consume.  These toxins are harmful to the cells in our gut. In Australia and New Zealand, there is a campaign to radiate fresh produce in groceries.  Cyndi argues that this move would destroy the good soil-based bugs in these foods and sterilise the seeds. [20:06] Becoming a Health and Nutrition Activist Question the origins of your food. You can start by asking local farmers.  Cyndi started the Nutrition Academy to promote local farmers and empower individuals to choose the food they eat. Changing your food choices can be overwhelming. However, small steps are better than none.  You can start with changing your breakfast and learning to prioritise real foods over processed ones.  [26:57] Decoding Ingredients Cyndi advocates checking all your food's ingredients.  For example, quality chocolate should have no emulsifiers, as these kill the bacteria that protect your gut. Many ingredients, such as rosemary extract, sound natural but are either synthetic or heavily processed. In the food industry, this is called clean labelling.  Stop buying packaged foods. Instead, make things from scratch or buy from someone you trust. Learn to read ingredients and make sure that there are no extracts, acids, flavours, colours, and sweeteners.  [37:00] Start to Question and Think A lot of clinical studies nowadays are being funded by industries with a vested interest. Start to question information. Research credible sources for yourself.  There is always a better way—make the effort to learn about it.  Many people think that diseases come with age, but this is only because they've accumulated so many bad habits.  [43:45] Improve and Change Your Lifestyle Your body can heal and do wonders only if you change your habits.  Make sure you manage your stress and do things to lower your stress levels.  With our nutrition, we can affect which of our genes turn on and off. Simple walks or touching soil can increase the good bacteria in your microbiome and boost your serotonin levels.  Don't just stay isolated in front of your screen. Go out into nature to become healthy.  [49:38] Longevity and Wellness  In ancient cultures, people lived up to 100 years. Nowadays, many people are suffering from chronic illnesses or have a disability.  We need both a vitalistic and mechanistic view of health. However, the health system tends to isolate our conditions instead of looking at the patient's lifestyle.  [56:16] Trust and Questioning Advertising has led us to believe that if we're not well, we need to take pills.  We have to shift from a paradigm of trust to one of questioning.  Do your homework and learn more about what you're consuming.   7 Powerful Quotes 'I grow my own food. Because I think we're going to get to a point where people are either going to have to do that or put up with what the food industry is doing.' ‘You're an activist because you are choosing to buy from a farmer in your area.' ‘We didn't want to eat BHA and BHT. We don't want to eat MSG. We got smart. We would look on the label, (sic) it would have that, we'd say no.' ‘It's about reading the ingredients and making sure there's no extracts and acids and flavours and colours and sweeteners.' ‘Our body has the ability to fight. But if we do not feed it the right ingredients, if we do not give it the lifestyle it needs… and if we don't give it sunshine, if we don't give it love and connection, if we don't breathe properly, and sleep, then we are going to be in trouble.' ‘You look at a lot of the clinical studies that have been funded by the industry that's promoting it, and you have to ask yourself, ‘How independent was theirs?' ‘Once you have your philosophy, you don't fall for everything.'

Right, now over to this exciting show with Cyndi O'Meara. Hi everyone and welcome to Pushing the Limits. I am super excited to have you with me again this week for another exciting installment of the show. I have lovely Cyndi O'Meara with me, who is sitting on the Sunshine Coast in Australia. Welcome to the show.  Cyndi O'Meara: Thank you.  Lisa: Fantastic to have you there. Cyndi is a celebrity nutritionist, author, runs a company called Changing Habits in Australia, which is all about educating people, from what I understand, educating people around nutrition and helping them cut through the mess of the noise that's out there and get them into the right mindset and the right things to be thinking about. So today we're going to do a bit of a deep dive into the world of nutrition. So Cyndi, before we get underway with some topics, can you just give the listeners who don't know you a little bit of background about you and what you do? Cyndi: Sure. So I graduated, well, I started my nutrition education in 1980. But I actually didn't start as a nutritionist. I was doing pre-med at the University of Colorado and one of the subjects that I did was anthropology. I did a year of anthropology and cultural anthropology and I thought, ‘Wow, it was food that was really important in the survival of humans and so that we could have babies and keep going,' and I was really intrigued by it and I thought, well I'll become a nutritionist.  So I came back to Australia and I went to Deakin University and finished my Bachelor of Science majoring in nutrition to go do dietetics and at the end I went, ‘This is nothing like what I was taught in anthropology'. So in anthropology, I was taught hunter-gatherer, agriculturalists, paleo, herders — real food. There was no margarine, there was no low fat, there was no processed or ultra-processed foods. There was none of this, and this is what the dietitians were talking about.  They were looking at more mechanistically nutrition, as opposed to what I was taught with culture and anthropology was to look at it very bio-holistically. So I decided, well, I couldn't become a dietitian. So I went back to university to RMIT. I did two years of human anatomy. That was, I kept cadavers for two years, I did all the -ology: the pathology, embryology, histology, parasitology, everything.  At the end of that, six years at uni, I went, ‘I actually know what the human body needs, it needs real food, it needs what I learned in my first year of university.' I could have stopped going to university, and done what I thought. I started to just do consultations, and I only did real foods. I didn't, I got them off the SAD diet, which is the standard Australian diet. We could call it the SNZD diet — too the standard New Zealand diet. The standard American diet and the standard UK diet — margarine, breakfast cereals, low-fat milk, bread, cheese, those plastic fantastic foods and gotten them onto real food. And the results were remarkable. So that was in the 80s.  We now jump to 2021, 40 years on. What I am seeing is a vastly different population, and vastly different problems that we didn't see in the 80s. Now, it's almost like we need to do very individualized nutrition, because so many people have food sensitivities, food allergies, they have the antecedents of their life. So they may have been exposed to a chemical, they may have eaten ultra-processed foods and so they've wrecked their guts or, whatever is happening in— Lisa: Yep, these products or something like that.  Cyndi: Yeah, I only had to change their diet from the SAD diet to real food diet, and we'd get results. I can't do that anymore. So the thing is it we then have to dive deep to find out what is the root cause of what's happening, and what is the problem? I'm not just talking on an individual basis, here, I'm talking on a global basis. 78% of the US population has a gut issue. 50, I think it's 48 to 50% of their kids have chronic disease, one or more. In Australia, it's 38 to 40 with chronic disease.  Now, when I went to school in the 60s, 2% of the whole population of Australia had a chronic disease. Now we have our kids at 38 and 40%. And New Zealand won't be any different, they will be about the same as Australia. If you get to 60, at the age of 60, which I am, I'm 61 this year—  Lisa: Wow, you look amazing! You've done something right.  Cyndi: Well, this is what I do, I eat real food, and I look the best I can. So at the age of 60, the chances of you having chronic disease, one or more, is 80%. So I'm in the 20% percentile. Because I don't do what the rest of the population do. I am not a statistic because I don't do what they're doing. If you want to be a statistic, you do what everybody else is doing. If you don't want to be a statistic, you do something completely different.  That's what I learned very early on. Don't go with what everybody else is doing. Do something different. I would believe that that's you, Lisa. I have to tell you this, Lisa. We've already had the opposite interview where I interviewed you and what you did with your mum and your book. I went through a bit of a crisis in our family and that kept, what you said kept playing in my ear. Lisa: Really?  Cyndi: What you did. You think you're doing something that should be working and your mum just stayed on that level, and then she shot up? Yeah, that's what was happening with us. So I'm well thank you for your incredible resilience, your persistence, everything you did.  Lisa: Someone to tell, someone to tell. Cyndi: Yeah, and I guess that's what I've always been like, but you, your words were brilliant. Thank you.  Lisa: And we all need people to come along and confirm that we're on the right track sometimes because we are getting bombarded with ‘This isn't possible'. I mean, I've just been working with a young man today. He's had a mess of brain injury and the doctors have told him, ‘You'll never talk, you'll never walk, you'll never do anything again'. He's already eight months into his rehabilitation, he's talking, he's starting to walk, and I'm helping him with different things now, and he will make a full comeback. I have no doubt about it, because he has a family that's behind him, he has a mum who thinks outside the box, and is willing to do whatever it takes, and those are the people that will get the results.  This is why these sort of conversations are so, so crucial to have so that we start to understand, and you have the expertise in the area that I'm sort of, know a little bit about but I'm not a complete expert in nutrition side of it. So I'm really keen to dive in. And if I can help you with your family situation, please do reach out. I'd love to help  Cyndi: We might just have a little conversation at the end of it.  Lisa: Yes, we will. I actually was going to take you through the epigenetics, I've just remembered now, and go through that path with you. But I totally agree with you. What I'm seeing in our population now is, when I was at school in the 70s, it was obesity was a rare thing. You had the odd kid who was overweight. Now you look around, and it's like the opposite is having any kid who's not overweight, and people seem to see that this is normal.  If our kids are already like this, and they're already developing things like prediabetes and diabetes before they even reach puberty, in some cases, this is like a mess of warning alarms. For me what's coming down the road as far as a health crisis and the cost that this is going to be on, you know, and human suffering, but also on the society. We have to start standing up and saying, ‘Hey, what we're doing isn't working guys, and we need to make some changes'.  The real food is definitely we we need to be starting from and the processed foods, what is it that's in processed foods that is causing so much trouble? Because isn't like a spaghetti bolognese sauce that I buy from Domino's or something, why is it not the same as what grandma made when she got tomatoes out of the garden? Let's start there, and the weird sort of stuff, so to speak. Cyndi: So in 1998, I wrote a book called Changing Habits, Changing Lives, and it was about the food industry and what food they were suggesting you had for breakfast, I'd say so breakfast cereal, and then I would explain how they make it, what's put into it, what is fortification? So I'd go through that, and then I'd give an example of what we could have for breakfast. Since that time, I have updated that book five times, because the food industry is not getting better as far as our health goes, but they're getting incredibly tricky, with additives and their chemicals to make you think you're eating food.  So it might smell like food, look like food, taste like food, but it is, no way is it food. Let me give you an example of natural vanilla flavoring. This is just one ingredient. So what they've done is that they've figured out if they genetically modify a bacteria, and they put in the smell of the vanilla bean, so the smell of the vanilla bean gene into that bacteria, put it on recycled plastic, as a substrate as it's eating, it eats it, it will make natural vanilla flavoring.  Lisa: Oh my God. So it's coals. Really? Cyndi: Really.  Lisa: That's a new one on a completely left field. That's just one little wee, soddy flavoring.  Cyndi: One ingredient: citric acid, you think it comes from citrus. They genetically modify a mold, put it on a substrate, the substrate could be animal-based, it could be plant based, it could be plastic-based. They're getting really, they're figuring out that there are bacteria that will eat plastic and produce something. So it produces like citric acid. A lot of our additives now are what we call synthetic biology. So they're genetically modifying microbes in order to make a vitamin, amino acid, or something that's going to go into your supplements or into your food supply or your medicine. Lisa: Wow, that's frightening. That's frightening what you just told me there and I wasn't aware that that, to that degree, the genetic modifying of our food is so because you know, you stay away from genetic modified crops. This is about as far as my knowledge goes in that direction, to be honest. So you're saying that the additives and the preservatives and the stuff that they're using in there is actually, they're doing this genetic stuff? Cyndi: Yeah, so they figured out that microbes, you know, nobody's gonna care about microbes, and don't like animals or rats or anything like that. No one's gonna care about microbes. They figured that if they genetically modify them, they can manipulate them to do anything. In the 1990s, a Japanese company manipulated, I think it was tryptophan. They use the genetic modification of a microbe and produce tryptophan, put it in tablets, sent it out into the market, and I think it was 150 people died and 1,500 people were injured permanently as a result of this tryptophan.  They figured out that the bug produced a toxin to protect itself from the tryptophan or something like that. So it was pulled from the market, they soon quickly figured out what was causing it. But it was all covered up, nobody talked about it. I think in the 90s, that kind of calmed that genetic modification down, not as many people were wanting to do it, but now it's at full surge.  Not everything is being made, of course, by genetic modification. Some things are being made with just making a bunch of chemicals and putting them together. So if I was to give you a strawberry flavoring, strawberry flavoring can have 48 chemicals in it. That strawberry flavoring and if one item is natural in that 48 chemicals, it's natural strawberry flavoring, not artificials. Lisa: You're kidding me. So they're just playing with these names and just putting in something natural in order to make it natural. Cyndi: They are absolute masters at it and people don't realize. I'm just telling you one thing that is happening. So if we take it to the genetic modification of foods such as soy and canola and sugar beet and cottonseed, and things like that. If we go there, these are called either Bt, so Bt-Corn, which is a toxin that the corn produces. So when the bug eats it's a pesticide. When the bug eats it, its stomach explodes. That's still in the corn, when you eat it.  Lisa: Oh my god. Cyndi: What we're finding is that while it won't explode our stomach, what it does is it explodes the, it destroys the gut cells, which is one cell thick. So it starts to erode them, and you start to get gaps in your gut and allow protein, chemicals, and things into your blood, which you don't want. You don't want that.  So then the other ones are Roundup Ready. So Roundup being ain chemical that has glyphosate  it. So Roundup Ready soya, Roundup Ready sugar beet. But now they're starting to realize that roundup is not doing what it should be doing on the pest; or not, it's a pesticide but it's more for grass and weeds and things like that. They're finding that that's not working anymore. Now they're producing 2,4-D ready crops, Dicamba ready crops. So Dicamba came into the spotlight I think was last year or the year before when there was a Dicamba ready crop that was sprayed, and all the spray floated over to a I think it was a peach or pear farmer's lands, and killed all of these trees. He actually sued, I think it was Bayer or Monsanto and I'm pretty sure he's won that case. Lisa: That's a big giant to take on. Cyndi: Exactly. This is what is happening to our food supply. We, the Australian and New Zealand Food Standards. So Food Standards Australia, New Zealand have been requested by Queensland agriculture, for Australia wide; I don't know if they'll do it in New Zealand, but an Australia-wide food irradiation process on all fresh fruits and vegetables sold in the grocery stores.  Now when you do that, what it does, is instead of you just cleaning your lettuce and, and doing a bit of a sterilization on it, which is what they do, whether it's organic or not, they have to sterilize it to get rid of any bacteria. So what they're now doing is they want to radiate it because it just doesn't get rid of the surface bugs, it gets rid of the bugs that are inside the food as well. But we need those soil based bugs, of course, they help us with our microbiome. So they're all of a sudden starting to say, we want to radiate everything. Now not only will they kill every bug in our food, what they will also do is that they will sterilize the seed. You know, when on your compost tea, three tomatoes and your pumpkin and and then you've got this pumpkin growing out of your compost, even a tomato growing out of your compost or cucumber. That won't happen.  Lisa: Oh my god, we're not going to have seed come, and who's going to control the seed like that?  Cyndi: I do my own, I grow my own food. Because I think we're going to get to a point where people are either gonna have to do that or put up with what the food industry is doing.  Lisa: And destroy their health.  Cyndi: Yeah, and it's all ultra processed foods. So the whole vegan movement even, I can read you the ingredients of what is called ‘just egg', and it's a bunch of chemicals. It's an ultra-processed food and it is not saving the planet, in actual fact is the worst thing for the planet. Lisa: Jeez, oh my god, this is, I'm all terrified now. Cyndi: I don't want to terrify you. What I want to do is make you aware of what's happening.  Lisa: Oh, absolutely, yeah.  Cyndi: Go to your local farmer, you go to your local farmers market, you support these small time farmers instead of Woolies or Kohl's or whatever you've got over there. Say, Breyer, I forget what's in New Zealand.  Lisa: New World. Cyndi: All you do is that you change the way you buy your foods, or where you buy your foods from, because then you become an activist by yourself. Don't care about anybody else. You're an activist, because you are choosing to buy from a farmer in your area. And I'm sure you already have some incredible region farmers in your area. Lisa: You think they are, they're not, how do you know that they're not using the same practices and the soils? And so, I mean— Cyndi: You talk to them, they're passionate. Go to the farmers' market, and you say, ‘Do you grow your food'? ‘Yes, I do'. Do you use any chemicals? ‘No'. What kind of farming do you do? ‘I want to actually do something called regenerative farming. Have you ever heard of that? Or I do organic farming or I do biodynamic farming, and this is how I do it'.  They're so passionate, they want to tell you. So what I do is, I grow a lot. But when I'm not growing some foods, I will go to my farmers markets, and I know my farmers now in the farmers markets. I've done the hard work. And I have something called the Nutrition Academy. And it's a bunch of people that come and do a year with me, and they become the people that do the research in their area. People come to them and say, well, which farmer should I go to at this market or that farmers market.  I want to create a groundswell of activists who say, we're not eating genetically modified foods, or anything made with a genetically modified bug, or anything that has something ultra processed in it. We're not prepared to buy from the grocery stores, because they can't guarantee me where this is coming from. So I will find a farmers market and I'll support, there are so many young people that want to be farmers, all we have to do as individual say, I'll buy a box from you, or a community supported agricultural box, I'll buy a box from you every week, whatever you're growing, I'll buy it.  Then to supplement you go to your local, organic shop, your local fruit and veggie shop, ask them the questions. It's about us becoming inquisitive. If that's what you do this, please say you're inquisitive, you went there telling me my mum's gonna be like that for the rest of my life. Surely there's something out there. What is happening, medicine's not working, they're telling me nothing's going to happen. So I'm going to go and enquire with other people. That's what I asked people to do with their food supply, is to enquire. Lisa: It's not obvious! I've looked locally, and I've just found one recently who's delivering certain times, a couple of times a week, and I have to get through, and you're like, ‘Lisa's found somebody now'. But it's always out of the way, and it's extra work, and it's, you're busy and you whatever, and there isn't a lot of farmers' markets in our area. There isn't, and I've been looking into a couple of farms here, and then they find out oh actually they're not organic, organic, even though they, you know, say that, but their seeds aren't in there, you know, there's certain practices. So there's thinks little problems, especially when you live in a rural area, and there's not necessarily a bigger place where these people can congregate. But I'm downloading a little bit more, time to dig deeper. Time, to really get into it.  Cyndi: Yeah, it will be somebody in your area, because this farm is everywhere, that they would love farming, and they would love to be able to sell their produce. But if we take it a step by step, and we do it like this, so let's say you're on the SAD diet, the Standard Australian New Zealand diet, let's just say you're on that. If you go from that SAD diet, and you just go to the fruit and veggie, meats, dairy section of your grocery store. That's a really good start. That's a great start.  Once that's in your life, then you go well, I want a better quality fruit and veg and meat maybe, or dairy. Because that many dairy farms and lamb and everything in New Zealand. So you go well, I want to better quality this, where can I find somebody in my area. So it might be six months after you've gone from the SAD diet to the, at least eating fruits, vegetables, meats, and making your own food that you go, I want better quality.  Then you go and seek out maybe a butcher that's doing the right thing or a fruit stand that's doing the right thing. So don't think you have to jump immediately. That's why I wrote ‘check it out'. Realize that it's like, let's start with breakfast, then let's do salt, then let's do dairy, then let's do grains, then let's do nuts, then let's do seeds. Let's do chocolate, let's do— so it's a 52-week, one thing you change a week. Or if it takes you longer than a week to change them, that's fine, 53 weeks. Imagine when you start, where you will be in one year. Lisa: Absolutely, it's the same with exercise is the same with everything, isn't it. Just taking it, you don't have to jump right in at the big change, just start with one change, awaken it. That just makes so much sense in just putting in a bit more effort to find things and do things and maybe start growing, I started growing my own vegetables without having much success. Cyndi: Greens in New Zealand grow incredibly. So it's about— Lisa: For most people.  Cyndi: Invest in greens, because they're like a weed.  Lisa: Yes, yeah, we've got some of those going. It's just making the time to do that, and to prioritize those, because I think I've definitely been aware of the whole processed food. So you stay away from the obvious things, but you've just taken it to another level as far as the genetically modified stuff. That's completely new to me, so that's really important. But starting where you're at, and improving it every week, and just taking on a little bit, because I'm a big fan of that in everything in life, because everything can be overwhelming.  If you get overwhelmed, then you tend to do nothing. It's better to be walking for five minutes a day than to be doing no minutes a day. It's better to be getting good fruits and veggies, and later on you work on the other pieces, if this makes a whole lot of sense. Is there a program through, that you have as an educational online content type of thing as well? Cyndi: It's in my book. So we renamed Changing Habits, Changing Lives to Lab to Table, because that's what it is, at the moment, it's about—  Lisa: Wow, Lab to Table. So I'll put the links and stuff. Cyndi: Stop being a lab rat and start making better choices for your table. And that's on Audible as well. So people can listen to it and just listen to one chapter and go ‘Right, that's what I'm going to do'. They can jump, they can go anywhere they want. They can start with chocolate, if they really want to. I just say well, where can I buy good quality chocolate that's got no emulsifiers? So an emulsifier is in most chocolate and emulsifiers kill the bacteria that makes the layer that protects you from the outside world, in your gut.  Even that little thing that you do by looking at a chocolate that doesn't have lecithin, it's called soy lecithin or sunflower lecithin, or something that's an emulsifier, even if it doesn't have that, so I teach you how to find a good quality chocolate, if that's where you want to start. Lisa: Chocolate's important, so that's a great place to start. Cyndi: Find the white salt out and getting some good salt that's not refined, hasn't got anticaking agents in it, doesn't have free flowing agent in it. They don't, you don't realize it because nobody reads their salt packet. They don't read the ingredients. So I just tell you, this is what's on it, go to your pantry, have a look. If you don't believe me, go to the pantry, have a look at what they put in. They'll have potassium iodide in there as well because that's the chemical form of iodine but you want natural iodide.  So an actual iodine is seaweed and New Zealand's got heaps of seaweed, you know. What I do is I make a salt with seaweed in it and it's called seaweed salt, and that's on the Changing Habits website and we do have a Changing Habits New Zealand website, so you can purchase it and and get it delivered to you not via Australia but New Zealand so I think it's changinghabits— Lisa: .co.nz? Yeah, usually. Okay, we'll get, I'll get my team to—  Cyndi: But mine is .com.au, and we have one of my graduates who runs that and does all the deliveries and everything from New Zealand. So that was one of my graduates from 12 months' education with me. So these people come out knowing exactly how to help people. It might be a trip to the farmers market. It might be coming into your pantry and going through your pantry. I can go into someone's pantry and I can pull 10 things out. Let's say one is barbecue sauce, another one's tomato sauce, another one's hot chili sauce. In other words, I'll pull out all the sauces, and all the sauces will have tomato as the base. All of the sauces will have a citric or an acidity regulator, so citric acid. All of the sauces will have a flavor or sweetener.  So the flavor is what makes the difference. It's not how you used to make your chili sauces or tomato sauces or barbecue sauces. This is an industry that has a base and then they just put a different flavor in, the sweetener might be a little bit different, the acidity regulator might be a citric acid, or it could be citric acid or it could be something else. And basically, you are looking at eating the same thing, just with a different flavor and a different texture.  Lisa: I would have thought, I didn't know that citric acid, for example, was a bad thing, because I thought that came, because you're not educated in this area specifically. You don't know that some of the things that sounds like potassium iodide, that sounds like a natural thing. And so being able to decode that, and I bet they do that partly differently, too, so that you actually think it's something natural— Cyndi: In the industry, it's called clean labeling. So people like me, got smart. We didn't want to eat BHA and BHT. We don't want to eat MSG. We got smart. We would look on the label, it would have that, we'd say no. So what they've done is they've renamed these. So BHA and BHT is called rosemary extract. Lisa: Really? So you're just, you just have never sure, unless you really spend some time educating yourself. Cyndi: Exactly. I read all the labels. So what they've done, rosemary extract is yes, it started with rosemary. But they pulled out one chemical out of the rosemary bark and rosemary leaf. With that, they do all sorts of processes to it, and it ends up as an antioxidant, a synthetic antioxidant, my way of thinking. But because it's an extract from rosemary, they call it rosemary extract, and you go ‘Oh, it's just rosemary extract'. Yeast extract, you think oh it's yeast extract, but it's MSG. So what they've done is rename, every single natural flavoring is the same as artificial flavoring, they just added one little natural chemical, and well purchase strategies that they put in there.  You might read turmeric, or curcumin, everyone does, or curcumin. 75% of all curcumin is made in the laboratory. It's not extracted from turmeric. The most of the population don't know what's happening. And that's why I go, just stop buying packaged foods. And you do have to make things from scratch, or you have to buy it with somebody that you trust. So it's about reading the ingredients and making sure there's no extracts and acids and flavors and colors and sweeteners. If it said tomato, onion, chili, sugar, salt, I'd be happy. I don't have a problem with sugar. I have a problem with all the other crap.  You're blaming sugar. I don't mean lots of sugar. I'd like to see Rapadura sugar, but they're blaming sugar on what I believe is a vegetable oil problem, and all these additives. Lisa: Just interrupting the program briefly to let you know that we have a new patron program for the podcast. Now, if you enjoy pushing the limits, if you get great value out of it, we would love you to come and join our Patreon membership program. We've been doing this now for five and a half years and we need your help to keep it on air. It's been a public service free for everybody. And we want to keep it that way. But to do that we need like-minded souls who are on this mission with us to help us out. So if you're interested in becoming a patron for Pushing the Limits podcast, then check out everything on patron.lisatamati.com. That's P-A-T-R-O-N dot lisatamati.com.

So we are grateful if you do, there are so many membership benefits you're going to get if you join us, everything from workbooks for all the podcasts, the strings guide for runners, the power to vote on future episodes, webinars that we're going to be holding, all of my documentaries, and much much more. So check out all the details, patron.lisatamati.com, and thanks very much for joining us. Cyndi: One of the things that we do know about this genetic modification that's happening at the moment in the microbes is that there's a disease out there called Morgellons disease, you can look it up. At first the doctors just thought that everybody was a little bit weird and psychotic in a way, that there's sort of mental illness. But what would happen is like, on the, a cut would come here and you'd get a pink and an orange and a yellow and a red fiber that would just come out of your mouth or it might happen here or wherever you gotta cut that would be these fibers, colorful fibers.  So the doctors all said, ‘Oh, you just been rubbing on carpet. You just, you've got Munchausen this disease,' or whatever, whatever that, or you're hypochondriac, you know, but what they're really beginning to realize is that some of these microbes, now these are microbes that make fibers. They're associating these microbes with this disease that has gotten into our microbiome. And as a result, they make them. That's their job. So I kind of figure if I'm going to eat natural vanilla, if that bug that makes natural vanilla flavor, does that mean, like, who's gonna smell like vanilla? You know, like, I just wonder. And I make a joke about it but in actual fact, it's, it's no joke. No, they are like nature. And so I choose not to support them in any way. Lisa: No. And that takes a huge commitment. But that's, that's where we need to be heading towards and like you say, one step at a time. Cyndi: Just one step at a time. And if in a year, you're doing that, or even two years, it's better than for the next 30 years or three decades, you've not changed and you have more Morgellons disease, or you're scared of a virus called COVID. It's actually called SARS-COVID 2. COVID-19 is the disease. Our body has the ability to fight. But if we do not feed it the right ingredients, if we do not give it the lifestyle it needs, such as exercises, you do running and yoga, and if we don't give it sunshine, if we don't give it love and connection, if we don't breathe properly, and sleep, then we are going to be in trouble. And we will become vulnerable to SARS-COVID 2 or whatever else comes along. Don't be scared of an invisible thing. Lisa: Yeah, and this isn't mean, this is, you know, those are all my wheelhouse. And that's what I'm always preaching on every week is one of these health fundamentals that if we, in relation to the slide, as far as you know, if we were just focusing on building our immune system, and eating healthier, and doing more exercise, and things would actually be at least better off, even if we did manage to, you know, unfortunately contract it. And we don't want, listen, this whole journey that I've been on the last five years and listening to, you know, I've had hundreds of doctors, scientists, experts, like yourself, sharing their corner of the world's knowledge.  I have absolutely no faith anymore in the authorities, or to be honest, I have no faith in the standards of medical care, I have no faith. Even though you know, like, clinical evidence, can be manipulated, and pushed in a certain way to make something look like it's good and it's safe. Then you look at a lot of the clinical studies that have been funded by the industry that's promoting it, and you have to ask yourself, how independent was theirs? There's just, there's just holes all over the place. And what I think you and I are, you know, with our different expertise as and trying to do is to get people just to question. Just to not take whatever is being thrown at you propaganda wise or whatever it is to actually question, do the research yourself, start to look at it.  It is confusing and overwhelming at times. But when you take control and when you're faced with the big situations, like I have been in my life, unfortunately few times now, not just with mom's story. I've had to face and work things out. If it was up to the doctors, I would have no uterus. I'm about to go through IVF. I'm 52 years old. They told me four years ago, I will die if I do not have a hysterectomy because I had fibroids. Now why did I have fibroids probably because I was on the pill for 30 years. But that's another story. I refused to have my uterus taken out because I believe there was another way. It took me a year to work it out. But I found a way. I found another doctor who worked out exactly which of the fibroids it was a 10 minute operation that was gone. That was a year of suffering bleeding, anemia, blood transfusions every week, but I refused to have the hysterectomy because I wanted to preserve the chance to have a child. And now I'm 52 and I'm able to go through and I don't have it, I didn't die and I still got my uterus. I've only shared that story.  These are the things we have to question. We just work things out and we're just given a white little pill and it's gonna make things better and go away. And I'm sorry, it's not how biology works. It takes time and it takes effort and it takes grind and it takes research. But if you're willing to do that, you're gonna end up looking, you know, like you do at 61. Not like most people who have autoimmune diseases, who have diabetes, who have heart disease, who have all of the horrible things that happened to us.  If we can prevent some people going down that path, then you know, our job's worth doing. If we can help one person who's listening to this just to open their eyes, and you certainly opened my eyes today. I thought I knew a lot, but I know I don't know enough. I don't know enough. This is why I spend like hours every day studying. Every day is a study day, every day is a learning day, every day is a day where I get to connect with amazing people like you that can share another piece of insight that I'm like, ‘Wow, that's terrifying. But okay, let's do something about it'. Sorry I've gone on my slip ups.  Cyndi: You did brilliantly, because this is what's happening is there will be people like you that are proactive in your health. Then there'll be people who don't want to change. They'll go get their uterus out, they'll take that pill, they'll never eat the right foods. That's okay, we can't help them. But there is a group in the middle that are inquiring and questioning and saying there's got to be a better way. I just don't know where it is, how do I find it. So they're the people that I hope to get to, because people like you are proactive, you're already doing it, you don't need me. But it's the people in the middle that are going ‘I know there's a better way, I know I can do this, but I don't know where to go and I can't find it'.  Then they get this aha. And from that, aha, they change their ways from the SAD diet to a different diet. And once they start to feel better, then they go and they start exercising, or they may exercise first and then decide on their food. Then there's this unbelievable effect that happens. Then they become vocal with their family and friends. That's what we want, is that we need them out there being vocal. It's all right, there will be people that don't want to change, and I don't want to even change them. That's just not my market. It's not my people. But I am here for the people who go, ‘Oh, I want to know more. How do I learn more?'  That's why I guess Changing Habits is really more education. Even though we do programs and protocols, and we've got food, my main thing is to educate you is to get you on a program or protocol, and then go, now that you've done that we feeling better, what are the things that you need to learn in order for you to progress as opposed to degress. If you think that you can come on a program or program with me, and go back to your old ways, and still feel amazing, you're delusional, you cannot go back. You have to keep going. So my thing is, if you're coming on that journey with me, please be prepared to be on this and to make major changes in your life that are sustainable, and for the rest of your life.  It's not the one big thing we do once a year that makes the difference. It's those little things that we do every single day, like the five minutes of walking, the banana instead of the chocolate bar, or better quality chocolate instead of a chocolate bar because they're all shit. Lisa: Yeah. We gotta find some good chocolate.  Cyndi: You've done a terrible job of making chocolate. You've bastardize the whole thing. Lisa: Oh, no. Cyndi: Yes. So this is what I want to achieve and the more people that are awoken, the less will have chronic disease, and the less will be vulnerable to whatever comes along. So we know just by the statistics that have happened in the last 16 months, that the people that are vulnerable to SARS-COVID 2 are those with chronic disease. People like you people like me, we're not even, there's not even a death rate amongst us. It just doesn't happen. But it does with people with chronic disease, and it's not the age group, it's your health. And yet they're putting us into age groups because that statistics what happens at age— Lisa: You get all these diseases, because you've been doing all the stuff for so long and there is genetic components to it and pieces of the puzzle. I partly because I studied genetics, and I know that I actually have a, I'm missing one of the genes for respiratory protection. So I'm actually in a higher risk category, but I can know that and like that I can take my vitamin D's and my magnesium, my things. Whatever's going to help me be healthier and then be armed. I mean, my house is full of biohacking, gadgets, machines, things are back standing behind me. I'm ready for battle. Because I know that I can still go down because I have a genetic predisposition to certain things. However, you know, like I was an asmathic as a kid. Severe asthmatic, in and out of hospital all my childhood.  But because I now have my inflammation in my body under control, I don't have asthma anymore. We didn't know that when I was a child, what was causing it. We cut out dairy but that was about it. My parents didn't know what else, things like gluten that we talked about back then and we lived next door to an orchard that was spraying everything everywhere. So goodness knows, but now I don't have a problem with asthma. Now is that because I've changed my diet, my lifestyle and all that sort of thing? Yeah, probably because I am missing that gene completely. So I have no sort of respiratory protection. So I am more prone to that. There's different aspects that we need to be aware of.  One of the biggest, I think, things that, something that I'm big on is stress management, because stress is definitely going to, and this is something that I've been with personally, because I'm so driven and mission orientated. It's very hard not to have a high level of stress when you're operating. So anything that I can do to lower my stress levels, while still operating at a really high performance level, I'm into. That's the breath work. That's the meditation. That's the getting the sunshine that's having my little breaks, it's having my social time, all of those things that I've had to learn to prioritize along the way as well. Yeah, but again, I'm getting off topic. Oh, I've just lost your— Cyndi: I'm using my shop in the background. You're saying the right thing. We do know, and you've already mentioned, and that's epigenetics. So what is happening above the gene that turns the gene on or off? There's nutrigenomics? Yeah. What is the food that turns a gene on and off? There's also metabologenomics, which is, what are the metabolites are made by your microbiome, which you are 90% genetically microbiome? What are the metabolites that are being made by the microbiome that are turning my genes off? What is the- like in nutrigenomics? I love it, because we know that when we go into a state of ketosis, that we're not only changing the metabolism of the brain and what energy the body uses, but we're actually affecting genes being turned on and off from glutamate together. So these are the things that we are affecting as a result of just manipulating food, that's natural dynamics. Now, when manipulate what's happening in our body, with as far as the microbiome, if you go for a walk in the woods, and you come against some spore based bacteria, so such as bacillus, though you will breathe it in, you will touch it because you touched a tree, or a rock, or you've dug down into the dirt for some reason, or whatever, you will get this and it has the ability to increase your good bacteria in your microbiome. It can decrease the bad bacteria. This is going out into nature, we've shown this.  If you go gardening in a really good soil, you pick up a certain soil based bacteria that actually improves your serotonin and will give you a feeling of calm and helps in mental illness, there's psychobiotics out there that we know that certain ones improve serotonin, some improved dopamine, others GABA others noradrenaline. So we have this thing called metabologenomics now, where it switches it, you're not going down the excitatory path of good mind, but you're going down the calming path of GABA just by manipulating your microbes. And that is nature, breathing as you know, both you and I love our breathwork. Sunshine does it. So we are giving our evolutionary body the ingredients it needs to be the best. When you do not do this and you stay in a city. You never get out into nature, you don't see the sunshine, you've got screen on. You've lost those ingredients that the body has had cues for for 400,000 plus years. We're not an modern body we're still evolutionary. Lisa: Our DNA is old. Cyndi: We'll never survive on the lifestyle that this modern world is giving us. We can still live in a modern world, don't get me wrong. But we have to let the body know that it can have these other ingredients. So hiking, you know like it's one of my favorite things to do is put a backpack on and go hiking for five or six days. Or nobody sees me no WiFi. And if that's not your bag, go out for the day. Go into a park. If you're in Auckland, you know go to what's beautiful for Cornwall Park. Pet the cows and the sheep. Just go breathe that beautiful old trees in. Lisa: This is just so basic, isn't it? You know I lost my dad recently and people know the story a little bit. But he was 81 years old. My dad was unfortunately a smoker and that's what brought him in. I could never stop him smoking and that's what ended up being his demise but he was every day all day in the garden, out in the sunshine working physically hard, and he was 81 years old. Apart from what happened to him, which was an aneurysm of the stomach. So he had arthroscopic sclerosis from smoking, but he was powerful, strong, he was exhausted, at the end of the day, he would sleep fine, he had a natural rhythm to his life: get up, work hard, eat probably too much. And not always the best things, smoke way too much. But he had this natural rhythm and he worked all day. He was in the garden all day, and his hands were always dirty, and his feet always planted on the ground. And I really think that's why he got to 81 despite having smoked for 55 years, which is a disaster, obviously.  He probably would have carried on for another, 20 or 30 years, if he hadn't had that unfortunate thing, because he lived in this natural rhythm. He was strong, powerful and fit, despite all of the stuff that he was doing wrong, but just that natural rhythm. I saw this, and I was like, wow. We are artificially stuck indoors, stuck sitting, stuck in front of screens, we need to make time to go out, have that sunshine, get that vitamin D. This is science now, like a lot of the stuff that ancient traditions were telling us to do. Everyone's that's all woowoo and eerie theory, and there's no proof. Now science is starting to bring this proof out. That's really exciting for me, because then we start to see that these guys were right, there is acupressure pressure points and there is negative and positive ionization.  There is all of these things that people have known for centuries, and, you know, millennia sometimes, and our old DNA just cannot survive if we are only in this artificial environment, not going to do well, we're going to be going backwards in our longevity, when we actually should be going forward. We've gone forward up until now, because we've had incredible surgeries and people know about germs and we've done some brilliant things. But if we can combine that knowledge of nature in our ancient DNA, and anthropology and all of that sort of stuff, and then combine it with the knowledge that we have today, there's the power. Because I truly think that within the next 20 years, we're going to be seeing people living much longer lives, like I don't think that you are going to retire anytime soon, like your average 60 year old would have done 20 years ago, now that's lifting up, right. Then by the time you are ready to retire, it will probably be 150. You know, because that's what's coming at us, the change that's coming is just phenomenal. If we can keep ourselves well enough, in the meantime, to benefit from all this knowledge that's coming down the line. Cyndi: Yeah, and the longevity is important. But the wellness is also important, as you said, because most people been 15 years of their life, and that's the last 15 years of their life, in a chronic condition or with some disability of some sort. So if we can change that, by what we're doing. We've seen ancient cultures. And it has shown that these ancient cultures, as long as they got past the age of five, they could live to 100 110 120, the body is able to do that. It's just that back in those days, the problem was pregnancy right through to the age of five. But once you got past that, the ability to get to 100 was here. We are now past that point. We can get most people past the age of five. Although, in chronic condition. That's what's scary is that they're going to have that chronic condition. And they're going to be beholden to the drug companies and beholden to the medical profession for the rest of their lives. I don't have a problem with the medical profession and the medications that they use, because they are life saving at times. But what's happened is that mechanism, which is you have a heart problem, go to your cardiologist, let's not look at your gut or you're leaving your son or anything like that. Let's just check out your heart. Oh, you've got this take that drug, you know.  So that mechanism has taken over from the vitalism which is ‘Hey, let's check your whole lifestyle out. Let's see what you're doing what you're eating, your son, your connections, everything like that. Let's start changing them before we need to go down the route of mechanism'. Vitalism is prevention. But where mechanism is needed is when, like, let's just say you've been in a car accident, you've broken a leg, get to the hospital, you don't get them asking you about your lifestyle. Fix your leg. So they're both important. It's just that mechanism has taken over from this very natural, holistic vitalistic way of living. If we go back to that, then the need for emergency care is going to get less and less or chronic diseases. We'll have acute problems that we might need another.  This is where I'd love to see the narrative go at the moment and I'm watching your prime minister, as well as my prime minister. They haven't said a thing about this. All they're doing is social distance, lockdowns, masks that don't work, the vaccine, that's the narrative. What happened, what, 15 months ago, just imagine this, that both our prime ministers said, right, we're shutting down McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, all foods that have got crap in it, we're stopping the genetic modification of any food coming into our country, because you're lucky you don't grow genetically modified foods.  Stop all of that, we're going to give you the time to go out and exercise and to give you money to go out and do this and get sunshine and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. If they've done that, can you imagine the state of health in New Zealand and Australia at the moment? It would be incredible.  Lisa. That would not be appropriate. You will be pissing off a lot of big companies. And this is what you know, people need to understand, like we tend to think, and like, you know, don't get me wrong, I have a lot of fantastic doctors and things and scientists and things that I work with, who I love, and we need doctors and so on. But the narrative is that they have all of the answers and that they are the only people that have the answers. That isn't necessarily the truth. There are big powers at play. I'm going to sound like a conspiracy theorist when I say that, and that's a word that people use in order to label you and discredit you.  But let's look at what is actually going on. Like in this case with the vaccine, I don't wa

"Long COVID" is the name for the phenomenon experienced by people who have "recovered" from COVID-19 but are still suffering from symptoms months after the virus invaded their bodies. In this episode, listen to highlights from a 7 hour hearing in Congress about Long COVID so that you can recognize the disease and know where to turn for treatment. Even if you didn't catch the rona yourself, Long COVID is far more common that you probably think and is almost certainly going to affect someone you know.

Brooks, M.D. Chief Medical Officer for COVID-19 Response at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Steven Deeks, M.D. Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco Jennifer Possick, M.D. Associate Professor at Yale School of Medicine Director of Post-COVID Recovery Program at the Winchester Center for Lung Disease at Yale-New Haven Hospital Natalie Hakala COVID patient Lisa McCorkell COVID patient Chimere Smith COVID patient Transcript: 1:01:34 Francis Collins: We've heard troubling stories all of us have people who are still suffering months after they first came down with COVID-19, some of whom initially had very few symptoms or even none at all. And yet today these folks are coping with a long list of persistent problems affecting many different parts of the body, fatigue, brain fog, disturbed sleep, shortness of breath, palpitations, persistent loss of taste and smell, muscle and joint pain, depression and many more 1:02:35 Francis Collins: I would like to speak directly to the patient community. Some of you have been suffering for more than a year with no answers, no treatment options, not even a forecast of what your future may hold. Some of you have even faced skepticism about whether your symptoms are real. I want to assure you that we at NIH hear you and believe you. If you hear nothing else today here that we are working to get answers that will lead to ways to relieve your suffering. 1:03:13 Francis Collins: New data arrived every day. But preliminary reports suggested somewhere between 10 to 30% of people infected with SARS COVID2 to may develop longer term health issues. To get a solid measure of the prevalence, severity and persistence of Long COVID we really need to study 10s of 1000s of patients. These folks should be diverse, not just in terms of the severity of their symptoms and type of treatment received, but in age, sex, race and ethnicity. To do this rapidly, we are launching an unprecedented metacohort. What is that? Well, an important part of this can be built on existing longitudinal community based cohorts are also the electronic health records of large healthcare systems. These resources already include 10s of 1000s of participants who've already contributed years worth of medical data, many of them will by now suffer from long COVID. This approach will enable us to hit the ground running, giving researchers access to existing data that can quickly provide valuable insights on who might be most at risk, how frequently individual symptoms occur, and how long they last. 1:04:24 Francis Collins: Individuals suffering with long COVID including those from patient led collaborative groups will be invited to take part in intensive investigation of different organ systems to understand the biology of those symptoms. Our goal is to identify promising therapies and then test them in these volunteers. 1:05:07 Francis Collins: Finally we need a cohort for children in adolescence. That's because kids can also suffer from long COVID and we need to learn more about how that affects their development. 1:05:35 Francis Collins: As we recruit volunteers, we will ask them to share their health information in real time with mobile health apps and wearable devices. 1:08:09 John Brooks: Although standardized case definitions are still being developed, CDC uses the umbrella term Post COVID conditions to describe health issues that persist for more than four weeks after a person is first infected with SARS-CoV-2 to the virus that causes COVID-19. Based on our studies to date, CDC has distinguished three general types or categories of post COVID conditions, although I want to caution that the names and classifications may change as we learn more. The first called Long COVID involves a range of symptoms that can last for months. The second comprises long term damage to one or more body systems or an organ and the third consists of complications from prolonged treatment or hospitalization. 1:09:45 John Brooks: Among these efforts are prospective studies that will follow cohorts of patients for up to two years to provide information on the proportion of people who develop post COVID conditions and assess risk factors for their development. 1:10:00 John Brooks: CDC is also working with multiple partners to conduct online surveys about long term symptoms and using multiple de-identified electronic health record databases to examine healthcare utilization of patient populations after initial infection. 1:20:21 John Brooks: Not only are there persons who develop post COVID symptoms, who we later through serology or testing recognizes having had COVID. But there's also there also were people who develop these post COVID conditions who have no record of testing, and we can't determine that they had COVID. So we've got to think carefully about what that how to manage that when we're coming up with a definition for what a post COVID condition is. 1:20:55 John Brooks: One of the most important things is to make sure that this condition is recognized. We need to make sure that folks know what they're looking at, as you've heard it's sort of protean. There are all sorts of different ways. Maybe we'll talk about this later. But the symptoms and ways that people present are very varied. And people need to be thinking, could this be post COVID and also taking patients at their word. You know, we've heard many times of patients have been ignored or their symptoms minimized, possibly because they didn't recognize that and COVID previously. 1:24:33 John Brooks: It's common, it could be as common as two out of every three patients. Study we recently published in our flagship journal, the Morbidity and Mortality weekly report suggested two out of three patients made a clinical visit within one to six months after their COVID diagnosis. So that is unprecedented, but people who've recovered from the flu or a cold don't typically make a scheduled visit a month later. It does seem that for some people, that condition gets better but there are definitely a substantial fraction of persons in whom this is going on for months. 1:25:37 Francis Collins: Basically what we did was to think of all of the ways in which we could try to get answers to this condition by studying people, both those who already have self identified as having long COVID, as well as people who just went through the experience of having the acute illness to see what's the frequency with which they ended up with these persistent symptoms. And if you look around sort of what would be the places where you'd find such large scale studies, one would be like we were just talking about a minute ago, with Mr. Guthrie, the idea of these long standing cohort studies, Framingham being another one where you have lots of people who have been followed for a long time, see if you can learn from them who got long COVID. And what might have been a predisposing factor that's part of the medical work. You could also look at people who have been in our treatment trials, because there are 1000s of them that have enrolled in these clinical trials. And they've got a particular treatment applied like a monoclonal antibody, for instance, it would be really interesting to see if that had an effect on how many people ended up with long COVID did you prevent it, if you treated somebody acutely with a monoclonal antibody, and then there are all these patient support groups, and you'll be hearing more for them in the second panel, were highly motivated, already have collected a lot of data themselves as citizen scientists, we want to tap into that experience and that wise advice about how to design and go through the appropriate testing of all this. So you put those all together, and that's a metacohort, where you have different kinds of populations that are all put together in a highly organized way with a shared database and a shared set of common data elements so we can learn as quickly as possible. 1:32:59 John Brooks: Extreme fatigue. I mean fatigue, as you probably heard, so bad, you can't get out of bed, it makes it impossible for you to work and limits your social life, anxiety and depression, lingering, chronic difficulty breathing with either cough or shortness of breath. That loss of smell persists for a very long time, which incidentally is particularly unique to this infection to the best I know. 1:37:10 Francis Collins: So the idea of trying to assemble such a large scale effort from multiple different kinds of populations of patients, is our idea about how to do this quickly and as vigorously and accurately as possible. But it won't work if we can't actually compare across studies and figure out what we're looking at. So part of this is the ability to define what we call common data elements, where the individuals who are going to be enrolled in these trials from various sources have the same data collected using the same formats so that you can actually say, if somebody had shortness of breath, how did you define that? If somebody had some abnormality in a lab test, what were the units of the lab test that everybody will agree so you can do apples to apples comparisons? That's already underway, a part of this metacohort is also to have three core facilities. One of those is a clinical sciences core, which will basically come up with what are the clinical measures that we want to be sure we do accurately on everybody who's available for those to be done. Another is the data sciences core, which will work intensively on these common data elements and how to build a data set that is both preserving the privacy and confidentiality of the participants, because these are people who are human subject participants in a trial, and also making sure that researchers have access to information that they can quickly learn from. And then there's a third core, which is a bio repository where we are going to be obtaining blood samples and other kinds of samples. And we want to be sure those are accurately and safely stored. So they can be utilized for follow up research. All of that has to fold into this. And so I'm glad you asked that question. That is the mechanism by which we aim to make the whole greater than the sum of the parts here even though the parts are pretty impressive. The whole is going to be pretty amazing. 1:41:03 Francis Collins: Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the launch of RADX, Rapid Acceleration and Diagnostics. Another program made possible by the Congress by providing us with some additional funds to be able to build new platforms for technology to detect the presence of that SARS COVID-2 virus, increasingly being able to do those now as point of care instead of having to send your sample off to a central laboratory. And even now doing home testing, which is now just in the last month or so become a reality and that's RADX that developed those platforms. 1:41:30 Francis Collins: It was a pretty amazing experience actually. 1:41:40 Francis Collins: We basically built what we call the shark tank. And we became venture capitalists. And we invited all of those people who had really interesting technology ideas to bring them forward. And the ones that looked most promising, got into the shark tank and got checked out by business people, engineers, various other kinds of technology experts, people who knew about supply chains and manufacturing and all of that to make sure that we put the funds into the ones that were most promising. And right now, today, Congressman, there's about 2 million tests being done today, as a result of RADX that otherwise would not have been. 2 million a day, or 34 different technologies that we put through this innovation funnel. And that has opened up a lot of possibilities for things like getting people back to school where you have testing capacity that we didn't have before. 1:42:32 Francis Collins: What did we learn about that that applies to long COVID? Well, one thing I learned was we can do things at NIH in really novel ways that move very quickly when we're faced with a crisis like COVID-19 pandemic, we're applying that same mentality to this effort on long COVID normally would have taken us more than a year to set up this kind of metacohort. We're doing it in a couple of months because we need to utilizing some of those same mechanisms that you gave us in the 21st Century CARES bill, which has been a critical part of our ability to move swiftly through something called Other Transactions Authority. 1:43:16 Francis Collins: You saw in the President's budget proposal for FY-22, something called ARPA H, which is basically bringing the DARPA attitude to health that also builds on these experiences and will give us, if approved by the Congress, the ability to do even more of these very rapid, very ambitious, yes, high risk, but high reward efforts as we have learned to do in the face of COVID and want to continue to do for other things like Alzheimer's disease, or cancer or diabetes, because there's lots of opportunities there, too. 2:02:53 John Brooks: The number of people seeking care after recovering from COVID is really unprecedented. And it's not just people who had severe COVID it may include people had very mild COVID and in fact, we know there's a number of people who never had symptomatic COVID who then get these long symptoms. 2:03:09 John Brooks: Just historically, the other disease I can think of that may have a little analogy to this is polio. It was a more devastating sequentially that people lived with the rest of their lives. But it was thanks to the enrollment of some early cohorts of these patients followed over the course of their life, that when post polio syndrome later came up in the population, we had the wherewithal to begin to understand it. And it happens with been a condition in many ways, sharing some characteristics of this post COVID condition. 2:16:33 Francis Collins: The virus has been evolving. So one question is, how long will you be immune to the same virus that infected you the first time. And we think that's probably quite a few months. But then are you immune to a variant of that virus that emerges like the one called B117, which now is almost 60% of the isolates we're seeing in the United States after it ran through the UK and then came to us, that degree of immunity will be somewhat lower. The good news here, though, is that, and this may surprise people, the vaccine actually provides you with better broad immunity, then the natural infection, and you don't quite expect that to be the case. Usually, you would think natural infection is going to be the way that revs your immune system to the max and the vaccine is like the second best, it's flipped around the other way in this case, and I think that's because the vaccine really gets your immune system completely awake. Whereas the natural infection might just be in your nose or your respiratory tree and didn't get to the rest of your body. With a vaccine. We think that immunity lasts at least six months. But is it longer than that? We don't know yet because this disease hasn't been around long enough to find that out. And so far, the vaccines, the Pfizer, the Moderna, do seem to be capable of protecting against the variants that are now emerging in the US like this B117. 2:26:09 John Brooks: Anosmia are the loss of smell or change and smell is an often overlooked, but surprisingly common problem among people. This disease really seems to target that and cause it. I can say this, you know, I've been I've had a particular interest in this topic, the reading that I've been doing seems to suggest that the virus isn't necessarily targeting the olfactory nerves, the nerves that transmit smell, but more of the nerves that are sort of around in supporting those nerve cells, and it's the swelling and the inflammation around those cells that seems to be leading to some kind of neurologic injury. I will say the good news is that many people will eventually recover their sense of smell or taste, but there are others in whom this is going to be a permanent change in terms of treatment, smell training, interesting therapy, but it really works. And it's I really want to raise people's awareness around that because the earlier you can begin smell training, the better the chances that you'll recover your sense of smell. 2:43:13 John Brooks: We hold regular webinars and calls for clinicians they can call into these often are attended by 1000s of providers. We use these as an opportunity to raise awareness because I think you made a really critical point that patients feel like their doctors don't recognize their problem or they don't accept that it's possible they have this condition. We use those calls and webinars to raise awareness that this is a real entity. We also then publish papers and put out guidelines that illustrate how to diagnose and begin to pull together what we know about management. 2:52:27 Francis Collins: But it certainly does seem that the risk of developing Long COVID goes up. It's fairly clear that the initial seriousness of the initial illness is somewhat of a predictor. Certainly people are in the hospital have a higher likelihood of long COVID than people who stayed out of the hospital but people who weren't hospitalized can still get it. It's just at a somewhat lower rate. 2:53:07 Francis Collins: Risk factors. older age people higher likelihood, women have a slightly higher chance of developing long COVID than men. BMI, obesity also seems to be a risk for the likelihood of long COVID. Beyond that, we're not seeing a whole lot of things that are predictive. And there must be things we don't know about yet. That would give you a chance to understand who's most vulnerable, to not be able to just get this virus out of there and be completely better, but we don't know the answer is just yet. 3:29:30 Francis Collins: First of all, let me say anxiety and depression is a very common feature of long COVID. But there are instances of actual induction of new psychoses sees individuals who previously were normally functioning who actually fall really into a much more serious psychiatric illness. We assume there's must be some way in which this virus has interfered with the function of the brain maybe by affecting vascular systems or some other means of altering the the way in which the brain normally works. But we have so little information right now about what that actual anatomic mechanism might be. And that's something we have to study intensively. 3:33:13 Francis Collins: When you look at what is the likelihood that somebody who is just diagnosed with COVID-19 is going to go on too long COVID It looks as if it's a bit higher for older people, but on the other hand, they're more young people getting infected. So if you go through the mathematics, you can see why it is that long. COVID seems to be particularly prominent now. And younger people who may not have been very sick at all with the acute infection, some of them had minimal symptoms at all, but now are turning up with this. 3:34:10 Francis Collins: We have 32 million people who've been diagnosed with the acute infection. SARS-COVI-2 to COVID-19. Let's say 10% is right. That means there are 3 million people going to be affected with this are already are and whose long term course is uncertain and may very well be end up being people with chronic illnesses. 3:35:07 John Brooks: It's a great opportunity to remind young people they're not immune to this right? This is really the audience you want to reach. Vaccination is something you should strongly consider. This affects people like you. 3:44:06 John Brooks: Some of the symptoms are the ones you see in adults, as you would expect, particularly pulmonary conditions, persistent shortness of breath, maybe cough, as well as persistent fatigue. There is also some evidence that he experienced what is called a brain fog, but it's probably some issue or probably neurocognitive in nature. And this is important for kids when they're growing and developing that, that we understand what's happening there because we don't want that to impair their ability to learn and grow properly. 4:35:54 Lisa McCorkell: I'm testifying today as a long COVID patient and as a member at the leadership team of the patient led research collaborative, a group of long COVID patients with backgrounds in research, policy and data analysis, who were the first to conduct research on Long COVID. My symptoms began on March 14 2020. Like many of what we call first waivers, I was not afforded a COVID test, because at the time tests were limited to hospitalized patients and those with shortness of breath, cough and fever, the last of which I didn't have. I was told that I had to isolate and within two weeks I'd be recovered. A month later, I was in worse health than in that initial stage. I couldn't walk more than 20 seconds without having trouble breathing, my heart racing and being unable to get out of bed the rest of the day. 4:37:18 Lisa McCorkell: Our ost recent survey asked about 205 symptoms over seven months and received almost 7000 responses. In our recent paper, 92% of respondents were not hospitalized, but still experienced symptoms in nine out of 10 organ systems on average. We found that patients in their seventh month of illness still experienced 14 symptoms on average. Most commonly reported were fatigue, post exertional, malaise and cognitive dysfunction. In fact, 88% experienced cognitive dysfunction and memory loss impacting their ability to work, communicate and drive. We found that this was as likely an 18 to 29 year olds as those over 60. Lesser known symptoms include tremors, reproductive changes, months long fevers and vertigo. Over two thirds require a reduced work schedule or cannot work at all due to their health condition. 86% experienced relapses were exerting themselves physically or mentally can result in a host of symptoms returning. 4:38:14 Lisa McCorkell: Long COVID is complex, debilitating and terrifying. But patients aren't just dealing with their symptoms. They're dealing with barriers to care, financial stability and recovery. Due to the lack of a positive COVID test alone, patients are being denied access to post COVID clinics, referrals to specialists, health insurance coverage, COVID related paid leave, workers comp, disability benefits, workplace accommodations and participation in research. When we know that not everyone had access to COVID testing that PCR tests have false negative rates of 20 to 40%. That antibody tests are more accurate on men and people over 40 and that multiple studies have shown that there's no difference in symptoms between those with the positive test and those without. Why are we preventing people who are dealing with real symptoms from accessing what they need to survive? 4:39:00 Lisa McCorkell: Even with a positive test patients are still being denied benefits or have to wait months until they kick in. Medical bills are piling up. People are being forced to choose between providing for themselves and their family and doing what's best for their body. 4:39:58 Lisa McCorkell: The stimulus checks that you all provided us to get through the pandemic. I do really appreciate them. But every cent of mine was spent on urgent care and doctor's visits where I was repeatedly told that mycotic cardio my inability to exercise and brain fog was caused by anxiety and there was no way that I could have had COVID since I didn't have a positive test. 4:41:37 Jennifer Possick: I hope to share my perspective as a pulmonologist caring for people with post COVID disease including Long COVID. So in Connecticut, the surge initially arrived in March of 2020. And within weeks thereafter, people were reaching out to us about patients who remained profoundly short of breath after their acute illness had passed. My colleagues and I were struck by how difficult it was to tell the difference between people recovering from mild, acute COVID and those who had required ICU level care. Both groups had the physical, cognitive and psychological fallout we would expect from a critical illness or a prolonged intubation. And in addition to being short of breath, they reported a host of other symptoms. I saw a teacher who had recurrent bouts of crushing chest pain, mimicking a heart attack, a young mother, who would have racing heartbeat and dizziness every time she played with her toddler, a local business owner who couldn't remember the names of his long term customers or balance his books, and a home health aide who didn't have the stamina or strength to assist her elderly clients. 4:42:53 Jennifer Possick: We've spent this year learning alongside our patients, about half of whom are never hospitalized. They are mostly working age, previously high functioning. Many were frontline or essential workers. Many were initially disbelieved. Their quality of life has been seriously impacted. Some can't walk to the mailbox or remember a shopping list, much less resume their everyday lives and work. 4:43:16 Jennifer Possick: They've used up their paid sick leave. They've cut back their hours they have left or lost jobs. They have difficulty accessing workman's compensation benefits and FMLA or securing workplace accommodations. Some have even cut back on food, rent or utilities to pay for mounting medical expenses. 4:44:03 Jennifer Possick: Consensus practice supports many forms of rehabilitation services but insurance approval and coverage have been beyond challenging and demand outpaces availability in any case. For patients with ongoing oxygen needs, requests for portable oxygen concentrators can be delayed or even denied complicating physical recovery and mobility. 4:44:27 Jennifer Possick: We are a well resourced program at an academic medical center. But we are swamped by the need in our community. This year, we have seen more patients with post COVID-19 conditions in our clinic alone then we have new cases of asthma and COPD combined. Looking ahead, the magnitude of the challenge is daunting. There are over 31 million survivors of acute COVID-19 in the United States, and we don't know how many people will be affected, what kind of care they will need, or how long, or what kind of care that will entail or how long they'll need it. Research will ultimately help us to understand the origin of the symptoms and to identify effective treatment, but in the meantime, their care cannot wait. 4:49:37 Steven Deeks: First, we don't have a way of measuring this, right? Everyone everyone has got a cohort or a clinic measures it differently. They report stuff differently. As a consequence, the epidemiology is a mess, right? We don't really have a good sense of what's going on we need and this has been said before, a general consensus on how to define the syndrome, how to measure it and study so that we can all basically be saying the same thing. Deeks we don't know prevanlence Deeks we don't know prevanlen... 270.5 KB 4:50:06 Steven Deeks: We don't really know the prevalence of either the minimally symptomatic stuff or the very symptomatic stuff. 4:50:27 Steven Deeks: Women in almost every cohort, women are more likely to get this than the men. And This to me is probably the strongest hint that we have in terms of the biology, because women in general are more susceptible to many autoimmune diseases and we know why. And so paying attention to that fact why it's more common in women I think is providing very important insights into the mechanism and is directing how we are going about our science to identify therapies. 4:51:09 Steven Deeks: The same time people are getting acute COVID. They're living in a society that's broken. There's lots of social isolation. There's lots of depression, there's lots of people struggling, who did not have COVID. And the way this social economic environment that we're living in, has interacted with this acute infection is likely contributing to what's happening in ways that are very important but I think ultimately going to be hard to untangle and something that has not been discussed. 6:00:36 Jennifer Possick: I don't think that we can broadly say that there is any treatment that is working for all patients. We don't have that answer yet. As Dr. Deeks had suggested, there are things we try empirically. Sometimes they work for some patients other times not, but we're not in a position yet to say that this is the regimen, this is the treatment that works.

DeepVerge (LON:DVRG) is very chuffed with its £10mln fund raiser. CEO Gerard Brandon tells Proactive London that the money will allow the company to maintain its current steady growth as well as build scale globally using lab support worldwide. With significant institutional participants, it's a real vote of confidence for the medical technology and services company and Brandon is excited now for the rapid roll out of its pathogen detection of SARS-Covid-2 in waste water systems following interest from governments and health care systems all over the world. In particular, DeepVerge said the money would allow for the acceleration of Labskin Services: expand Skin Trust Club; sales at Modern Water and be used for for working capital. News here to on the China Resources deal, which represents a huge potential client base following talks with the Chinese government's state-owned concern.

The Victorian government is facing increasing pressure this morning to lift Melbourne's lockdown amid a string of low case numbers in the state and as the city enters day 11 of its fourth lockdown.All eyes will be on Monday's numbers after officials in the state refused to budge on Sunday despite pressure from fed-up Victorians and business groups to end the lockdown early.Victoria recorded four new positive local cases of Covid-19 on Sunday, including two in aged care, but the risks posed by the Delta variant are forcing officials to be cautious.Acting Victorian premier James Merlino said lockdown is likely to run until midnight Thursday, citing the highly infectious Delta variant covid mutation which has struck 10 Victorians already.Mr Merlino said the state is living in a “different environment” with the new variant compared to its lockdown last year.“There's a reason why public health is so concerned about the Delta variant,” he said. “It is much, much more infection than what we were dealing with last year.”“The last thing we want to see is this variant of the virus getting out, and becoming uncontrollable,” he said.“I want to get there as quickly as you do.”Mystery still surrounds how the cluster began in West Melbourne with “health investigators” scouring sequencing results from labs across the country. The outbreak in West Melbourne has grown to 10 cases of the Delta variant with a primary school teacher the latest to test positive.Mr Merlino said his “expectation” was by the end of lockdown on Thursday, “we'll be in a position to have further easings of restrictions in regional Victoria and careful easing of restrictions in Melbourne.”He went on to say the decision would be based on public health advice.“We've just got to drive this thing to the ground.”“We do not have the luxury of picking and choosing the public health advice that we receive a stop in I hate going into lockdown, like every single Victorian I want to be out of lockdown as quickly as possible, the way to do that is for people to get tested, for people if you are eligible to get your vaccination, for people to follow the rules.”But the financial pressure is increasing day by day for both businesses and residents. A survey by Tenants Victoria showed 66 per cent of respondents said they were financially impacted by lockdown. An estimated average loss was $817.Deputy chief health officer Allen Cheng said lifting the lockdown was a “day by day proposition” but added that Thursday's planned easing of restrictions, was “our expectation”.“If we can, we will,” he said of it potentially lifting early.Mr Cheng said health authorities are examining cases carefully and working with other labs to see if there is any further information that can be obtained from specimens regarding the state's hunt for the delta variant outbreak.Chief executive of the Australian Industry Group Innes Willox has called for the Victorian government to devise an immediate path out of lockdown to save the state's businesses.“This lockdown has been marked by exaggerated language and doomsday prophesies from Victoria's health leaders that have not come to pass,” he said.Currently, he says it's costing the economy nearly $360 million.Last week, Professor MacIntyre told the ABC's Patricia Karvelas the variant spreading in Melbourne is “more transmissible” and “more contagious” and that it has a particular mutation that's “more likely to make it more vaccine resistant than that strain, so that's a big concern”.“There's more virus in the air, we know that SARS Covid-2 is airborne so an area where someone has been indoors might be more at risk with this particular virus.“The biggest risk is breathing in the virus through contaminated air indoors, in settings that are poorly ventilated.“The stakes have been raised with this variant because we know its more transmissible.”“The pandemic is worse today than it was a year ago and there are new variants emerging regula...

Seven months ago. That’s a big deal after a hard year and we should all celebrate that.”  Today the seven-day average for new cases is down to 820 and the percent positivity is 4.4 percent. There has also been a decrease in the number of hospitalization and deaths. Northam said since the beginning of the pandemic fourteen months ago, decisions of the emergency team and the Virginia Department of Health have been led by the data. “And today the data give us a very clear message,” Northam said. “The vaccines are working. They’re helping reduce the spread of this disease. Fewer people are getting sick. Fewer people are going to the hospital and fewer people are dying.” Northam said that vaccinations may be opened up to people over the age of 12 as early as next week. “Parents are eager for their children to be able to get this shot,” Northam said. “Preliminary results from a VCU survey tell us that a large majority of parents, 66 percent, plan to get their adolescents vaccinated. Sixty-three percent will vaccinate their younger children when it is available.” Dr. Costi Sifri, director of hospital epidemiology at the University of Virginia Health System said they are ready.“We at UVA are poised and ready to do that,” Dr. Sifri said. “We would and will use our current mechanisms for providing vaccines for residents of the health district including the vaccine center at Seminole Square and our outreach systems.”  As of today, Exactly one-third of Virginians are fully vaccinated at 33.3 percent and 45.9 percent have had at least one dose. The average doses administered per day has declined this week and is currently at 66,343 a day. A month ago on April 7, that number was 78,785. “We still have a lot of work ahead to meet President Biden’s new goal of 70 percent of American adults getting at least a first shot by the Fourth of July,” Northam said. Northam warned that COVID remains a serious threat and continued vigilance. Though many carried the disease asymptomatically, others such as himself have lasting effects from their illness.“As you all know I had COVID myself last October and seven months later, I still can’t smell or taste anything,” Northam said. “Many long-lasting side effects are much worse. If you haven’t gotten the vaccine, remember this. COVID can make you truly sick for months. The variants that are now circulating raise the risk of getting sick.” Dr. Sifri said some studies suggest that a third of people who contracted COVID developed long-term symptoms. “And it includes people that had mild disease or even didn’t recognize they had the disease, they had the so-called asymptomatic disease,” Dr. Sifri said. UVA will be continuing to study this phenomenon. Northam has previously announced relaxation of several restrictions on May 15, such as allowing 250-person events outdoors and increases in the number of people who can attend entertainment and sporting events. He said if the trends continue, almost all restrictions will be lifted.“If our COVID numbers keep trending down and our vaccination numbers keep going up, we plant to lift our mitigation measures, capacity restrictions and social distancing requirements on June 15,” Northam said. The mask requirement will remain in place for at least a couple of weeks longer, however. Clark Mercer is Northam’s chief of staff and he mentioned an important date to keep in mind as well as well as a logistic hurdle to the legality of even wearing one in public. “The Governor’s executive authority and emergency declaration expires on June 30 and like the governor said, he will revisit it in a future press conference how we talk about masks,” Mercer said. “Even voluntarily wearing a mask in Virginia, you have to have a state of emergency in effect to do so. There’s a law on the books that doesn’t even allow even voluntarily to wear a mask in public so there are some issues we have to work through between now and the end of June.” Governor’s legal counsel, Rita Davis, explained further about the forthcoming end of the emergency. “By code, all declarations of states  of emergency end on June 30 so the governor has the prerogative to reissue a declaration a state of emergency,” Davis said. Northam said he would like to avoid extending the emergency if possible, so this will be something to continue to watch. Another thing to consider is that public meetings at the local level will have to resume being held in person.But, as you heard, one of the concerns remains the possibility of variants emerging. Research continues at the University of Virginia Health System into increasing surveillance and analysis to identify their presence. Dr. Amy Mathers is an associate professor of medicine and pathology. “We have recently signed a contract with the state for the UVA Clinical Lab to do whole genome sequencing of the SARS-COVID variants,” Dr. Mathers said. “The plan as it stands right now in on behalf of the Virginia Department of Health to do up to 250 sequences a week.”That allows for scientists to have a better sense of what variants are circulating. Dr. Mathers said that will help detect emerging strains as well understanding patterns behind patients who might one day contract COVID even after being vaccinated. The UVA labs have been attempting to sequence DNA from as many positive cases as possible and the results show what strains are in the area. “We definitely have a predominance here like we see elsewhere in the state of the U.K. variant so that is widely circulating and does account for over 50 percent of the cases that we’re seeing now in April.” Dr. Mathers said. “And that shift occurred quite quickly and dramatically toward the end of March. We went from ten percent to over 50 percent kind of when we turned over into April.” Dr. Mathers said the variants from Brazil and South Africa are also in the community, but at a lower level. Even lower but present are variants from California and New York. With more data, there will be more of an accurate record of what variants are moving where. So far, vaccines are effective against this strains, according to Dr. Sifri.“The most common variant in the United States, the U.K. variant, the B.1.1.7 variant, is very effectively prevented by current vaccines,” Dr. Sifri said. For the foreseeable future, the surveillance of existing cases and continued research will continue. As Governor Northam, the data is pointing in the direction that vaccinations after a long period of mitigation has lead to the ability to lift restrictions.“It’s very encouraging to see the biostatisticians and modelers who are taking a look at the trajectory of cases here both locally, regionally, and around the United States to see what their modeling is showing data,” Dr. Sifri said. To review the model, take a look at a dashboard on the Virginia Department of Health website. You’re listening to Charlotteville Community Engagement, and it’s time for a quick subscriber-supported public service announcement. Are you a master at literary trivia?

Nikola Howard Nikola is an award winning coach, author, speaker, human physiology mentor, educator, woman in technology, orchid obsessive, and has been low carb since 1999. She is on a mission to free people from Diet Prison, remove the linguistically horrific words “weight loss” from common usage and her mission statement is to ‘assist the UK to eat itself healthy.”Nikola also wants to disrupt the diet industry paradigm and move us away from guilt and shame when it comes to food and our bodies. She is one of the only people working within the diet industry to work on the mental/mindset side of body composition management, to break people away from “victim mentality” and so ensure long term success.This week's episode, we catch up with Nikola Howard. She recently earned an award as Nutrition Coach Mentor of the Year and is on a mission to ‘assist the UK to eat itself healthy' by disrupting the diet industry. When Nikola chose her mission at the beginning of 2020 to be to empower the UK to eat itself healthy, she didn't realise how vital that statement would be. Sars Covid 2 affects people more if they have underlying health issues. Nikola explains that eating a low carb, real food way of eating helps heal some of the health issues we face.Nikola's aim is for people to have long term success not just short term weight loss. Her model is you get healthy, you get your optimal body back and you get an empowered mindset so that you don't need to fail and keep coming back. She helps people to succeed.

Episode 80 One year ago, way back in episode 30, Dr Daniel Janies spoke with us about the emerging SARS-CoV-2 virus and the resultant COVID-19 infections which were quickly spreading around the world. Now, as multiple vaccines are rolling out across the world and dangerous variants are nipping at their heels, we wanted to invite Dr Janies back to the show to talk about about the state of the pandemic, what to expect next, and what we can do to get back to normal. Should we be worried about the new variants? Are there other similar viruses waiting in the wings? What's so special about these vaccines? Will we ever beat COVID or is this just the new normal? Let's talk about it.    ---------------- Dr Daniel Janies is an American scientist who has made significant contributions in the field of evolutionary biology and on the development of tools for the study of evolution and spread of pathogens. He is The Carol Grotnes Belk Distinguished Professor of Bioinformatics and Genomics at University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He is involved with research for the United States Department of Defense, and has advised multiple instances of the government on methods for disease surveillance. -------------------------   Support this podcast on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/DowntheWormholepodcast   More information at https://www.downthewormhole.com/   produced by Zack Jackson music by Zack Jackson and Barton Willis    Transcript  This transcript was automatically generated by www.otter.ai, and as such contains errors (especially when multiple people are talking).

Way back in Episode 30. Back at the beginning of this newfangled pandemic, where I don't even know if we were using that word quite yet. No one really knew in the public really what was going on. I feel like that was at the time when we were just talking about like two weeks of lockdown, to contain this to flatten the curve so that we can get back to normal. President Trump was talking about going back to church on Easter, which have, I am a pastor who just went back to in person church on Easter, he just got the wrong year. It took a couple extra months to get there. And a lot of what you said in that episode of sounded extraordinary at the time, but now seems commonplace. I remember asking you if What if this virus becomes airborne, and you said, Oh, it is airborne. I'm like, wait, what it is. And then sure enough, now, everyone basically agrees that it is airborne. We were debating back then about where it came from. And you said all those other things, those are just red herrings, it came from bats. And there we go. Now we know, you would predict that it was gonna we were still going to be talking about this in a year. And here we are a year later talking about it. So we're really happy to have you back on to help untangle a lot of where we are today. The state of things and what's coming up next. Well, great,   Dan Janies 03:38 great. Yeah, there's certainly been a number of chapters.   Zack Jackson 03:44 No kidding. This probably isn't how you imagined your 2020 was going to go when it started?   Dan Janies 03:51 Well, it there's something about it. I I've been through a few of these. And this one from the beginning felt very different. Just a matter of getting that through our heads. And it came through our heads at different periods of time, I think.   Ian Binns 04:05 Can we expand on that what you saw like this one?   Dan Janies 04:08 Look at 2009 h one n one, we all still traveled when I wasn't allowed to say stay home from work, communications people were worked with when they thought the business community wouldn't like it. And so we had to say, cover your call. That's about all we could say. And I went to China in 2009, you know? Oh, yeah.   Ian Binns 04:32 I think you also said in the last time we had you on the use of the word quarantine, that people were very careful in the use of that word as well.   Dan Janies 04:42 Yeah, we couldn't say that and they weren't going to close the schools. So we couldn't say social distance either. That was so euphemism if we were gonna say something, but yeah,   Ian Binns 04:53 yeah. So and now like the cats out of the bag. I mean, we use those phrases all the time. Now.   Dan Janies 05:00 Yes, yes, this one turned out very different. Do you   Rachael Jackson 05:02 feel a little bit like a prophet?   Dan Janies 05:05 No, um, it's easy to be wrong here too. I mean, some of us even talked about being guilty about not being noisier. You know what I mean? So I did testify to Congress. So I don't know how.   Zack Jackson 05:25 In many ways you do sound a lot like the Hebrew prophets.   Dan Janies 05:28 Yeah. So.   Zack Jackson 05:31 So this the state of things, as you see them right now, where would you place us now compared to last year,   Dan Janies 05:38 I think vaccines and the rate at which we produce them and their efficacy is a is a, just a triumph. I mean, that, that it has been amazing. And anybody who doubts, our ability to, you know, work together and come up with solutions and multiple solutions, in case one didn't work, should, you know, not have much to argue about anymore? It's just been tremendous. And now the rollout is, is it's been a challenge. But in the United States, we're doing a pretty good job, you know, remains a challenge. But we're doing better than other parts of the world. And there are parts of the world like Israel, they're doing better than us. So all this is work.   Kendra Holt-Moore 06:25 I was reading something. Maybe yesterday or a couple days ago, that was just an article about was the phrase, something like hygiene, performed no hygiene theater, that's what it was. And that, like, what we know now about transmission being airborne, and that surfaces are not really that they don't play as much of a role as we thought they did a year ago, but that people continue to, like clean, like non stop surfaces, and that it, like, makes people feel good, but it's actually just this like hygiene theater like performativity. Um, it seems like, I don't know, it might just be where I am currently. But it seems like that's gonna be something kind of hard to let go of, because it is good to like, wash your hands and stuff like that. But yeah, how? I'm just curious. And this isn't just just have to be for Dan. But it is like mostly to that, Dan, I guess, like, how are we going to stop, like wasting money on cleaning protocols that we don't have to do? Is it a good idea to stop all of that? Is there something valuable in signaling? cleanliness is to me, it seems a little bit shallow, I guess. But I understand that there could be value in it. Like what what do you predict for the coming months? And like the next year?   Dan Janies 07:56 Yeah, well, you're doing you're doing a lot, you're just not stopping SARS, COVID to transmission with cleaning surfaces, scoby to the vast majority of it has been covered is airborne, transmission, respiratory droplets. But there are pathogens that are transferred on surfaces, bacterial pathogens, and so forth. So you know, like food hygiene is largely dependent on surface contamination, and so forth. So water contamination, so that's that you're gonna have better food hygiene, which is always a good thing. Yeah.   Kendra Holt-Moore 08:26 Yeah. No, that that, that makes sense. But like, all the extra stuff, you know, like wiping down the like, desks or whatever, like, I guess there's value in that, like, kids maybe won't get us sick with other things. But I guess, part of what was interesting to me about that was that there's been so much money, especially when you're looking at different, like, public schools, or just other organizations that could be putting all that money into, like, air filters and stuff like that. But they're spending so much money on cleaning supplies, and there is like, obviously, you know, like what you're saying it that does help for a lot of other things. But it's just like, where do we like, find the balance of actually, if the priority right now is COVID? It makes sense to do more of the airborne precautions, but what about like, five years from now?   Dan Janies 09:19 Because, yeah, well, I think that's a great question. And it's probably matter is going to, like mass will probably become a matter of personal preference going forward. And schools are regulated. So that won't be preferred personal preference, but, you know, probably be, you know, find some reasonable balance going forward. But once we, you know, we're humans once we started doing something, it's, it's hard to reverse course, right. So, right, that human nature thing.   Rachael Jackson 09:43 Is there such a thing do you think, as too much usage of these things?   Dan Janies 09:49 I have not heard of that. But, uh, you know, if it's like anything if it's preoccupying you so you don't do other things or you're burning yourself. You know, like there are people wash their hands too much and not wreck their skin. And I think those things are.   Rachael Jackson 10:02 Right. Right, this idea of antibacterial right, that we're using all bacterial wipes for everything. Oh, are we just making stronger bugs?   Dan Janies 10:11 Yeah, I don't know, of any particular expertise on that, that. I think these, you know, antibacterial products certainly do provide some of the selective force that that I think that's demonstrated at the look of the paper that is driving antimicrobial resistance, but I'm just using intuition here, as probably nothing compared to overuse of antibiotics, which, you know, we use in our own bodies, and we use wantedly in agriculture, and that's just the concentrations being used in those settings is tremendous. So I think we got whoops, we'll come back to that, so much caring about over cleaning, but hopefully caring about other problems. And to shift gears a little bit here. Think of, you know, antibiotic resistance was was the, you know, the crisis that we've forgotten about cancer screenings haven't been done, you know, people haven't gotten their teeth cleaned. And so there's all this neglected maintenance and and refocusing we're gonna have to do.   Ian Binns 11:14 So what do you think of like, you were being that we kind of talked a little about, like classroom spaces and things like that. You remember back last spring, so a year ago, in conversations about what could the fall look like at so at our university, Danny and see Charlotte and like, even in lab spaces, or classroom spaces, you know, many classrooms may have, you know, access to like a, you know, a staplers or whatever that students could pass around or anything like that, that could be communal supplies. there was all this talk of well, we couldn't have that, you know, the concerns around we can't have communal supplies in your classrooms and stuff like that. Do you think, is that still a concern? I mean, because you know, our university is going to be back primarily face to face in the fall, most universities probably will be most schools are going that route as well. I mean, is that something that you think that teachers will have to clean the desk spaces and stuff like that in between classes and things like that? Yeah.   Dan Janies 12:08 I'll have some thoughts around. But, you know, bear in mind, like, I'm not authorized to speak about University operations by any means, right? I'm just these are just generic thoughts. I think we can be reasonable about it. I think people are gonna like, you know, more personal space, and having their own things. And I'd like to work in a clean environment. You know, I don't I bet the cases of SARS covi transcript Trent transfers based on shared staplers are almost non though, let's put it that right.   Rachael Jackson 12:43 So I wanted to go back to this vaccine question a little bit, if you may, may seem very, very optimistic, which I think is wonderful. Recognizing that, as a whole, our country is doing well. Right? On in some places, adequate, some places, some populations very poor. But as taken as a whole, we're doing well, right. Our my social commentary is that there's certainly issues in with racial justice surrounding that. But if we take the country as a whole, we're certainly doing better than than others, and certainly doing better than what we were doing. So when we look at vaccines, one of the things that we're facing now, and I was listening to an NPR story about this, was saying that very soon, we're going to have a surplus. But we're still not at a place where we're reaching this generalized herd immunity, whether or not that herd immunity is 75%, or 85%, or even 90%. We know that it's above 70. Like comfortably, we know that above 70, is where we need to go. And we're at 25%, looking at this question of having a surplus. And for me, part of what when I look at that part of the rash, the reason for that is are disparities in terms of equity. But then there's also a question of, there's a lot of people that just aren't going to take it. And what do you think as a scientist that we can do to encourage getting to that place? Well,   Dan Janies 14:31 I think several things and I think it's gonna be patchy. And that's the problem with with the herd immunity question is, surpluses are occurring in in some states already, because they've just exhausted the number of people willing to take the vaccine. They think, you know, with the let's just be honest with any medical intervention, there's a small risk of an adverse reaction. Some people have a psychology Do against needles, some people over psychology against distrust in medicine, and those are all things we're gonna have to work on. I think though the recent news about Johnson Johnson and more, most Previous to that asked her Astra Zeneca, vaccines, causing blood clots, is definitely concerning and will be followed up on by the full force of regulatory agencies. But bear in mind, your chances of having an adverse outcome to SARS COVID to infection are about 125 times more than having an adverse reaction to a vaccine. It's terrible for those people had those reactions, but it's something like six and six individuals and 7 million, you know, so it's terrible for all those people, and we got to do better. But you know, people don't have these emotional reactions to vaccine and medicine don't respond to those numbers. Right. So I just think it's a hard question. And I think it's a question of science literacy just for many things. And this speaks to the misinformation to which finds opportunity and in these, you know, in these areas where the vaccines have slightly failed, or where there's mistrust sewn already, I just think what we should just keep doing what we're doing in terms of nature of science, instruction sciences, and perfect vaccines aren't perfect, but they're better than nothing and way better than these ones are wildly good. Stars Coronavirus. Two vaccines are 90% effective, whereas we lived happily with influenza vaccines, you know, 3040 50% effective, you know, so if you're going out in the rain, take a raincoat, you know, it's like, to me, it's common sense, you   Zack Jackson 16:47 know, so that why is the are they recommending the vaccine the Johnson and Johnson vaccine be put on hold? When it seems like it seems safer than any of the the the medications you see advertised on TV with their litany of side effects afterwards? is just for PR and public confidence, or is that actually concerning? Well, it's,   Dan Janies 17:13 you know, all these, those ads don't have those disclaimers because they like them that's regulated, right. So the major concern is, of course, for all those individuals that are infected but there as if effected by an adverse reaction. But the erosion of public trust by a small event is worse in terms of continuing to give the virus new hosts by all the people who can't or because they're not eligible or because of underlying conditions or because they just have a emotional or psychological problem with taking a vaccine. And this speaks back to the herd immunity question and nobody can really calculate what that is and but that the best estimate, I heard of the best sort of way to explain it is 60%. Sounds good because if the are not the transmission rate of the virus is three and that that number is varied. That means for every person affected, you're affecting three others. If we immunize two of those potential new infections, we're taking them off the playing field off the table for SARS Coronavirus, two leaving only one so are not going to one. So every person infected only infects one more person. The virus spread is not growing. It's that sort of a steady state then and that. That doesn't sound great. I mean, I think Coronavirus is going to be with us like like influences with us. We've just will payment down to that low level transmission. But there always be new hosts. There's always going to be children. And hopefully we get the vaccines approved for children. But there's always newborns and there's always people who won't take it. And there's always the virus continuing to evolve which we've seen in influenza for decades.   Zack Jackson 19:03 So you think we are solidly on the path to this being a seasonal thing and not being eradicated? Like MERS   Dan Janies 19:11 Yeah, I I think early hope in some of the uncertainty around SARS COVID. To You know, this notion that it was different but we couldn't explain why was tied to MERS going first didn't really go extinct though. SARS, SARS one, but I mean SARS covi. did go extinct MERS. There were cases until 2018. People think of Huawei in 2015. But there were still cases until 2018. So MERS might be clinking around out there. But this Yeah. tsarskoe v2 is clearly different. I don't it didn't show any seasonality early in our behaviors drove drove more the transmission of the virus and our lack of vaccines or lack of any defense against it. And so we think of fluid seasonal, it may show some seasonality tsarskoe v2, but think of influenza h one n one that actually emerged in April where we're supposed to be coming out of flu season so.   Ian Binns 20:06 So with you said SARS COVID. One did go extinct, right?   Dan Janies 20:12 That lineage went extinct. This is the most important thing that   Ian Binns 20:15 won't happen.   Dan Janies 20:17 It emerged from bats. And   Ian Binns 20:19 I mean, why did that go extinct? That we have things against it? No,   Dan Janies 20:23 that's a great question. So I thought I ran out of hosts in the countries. We didn't experience it so much in the US, we don't think about it, but just good infection control. It was transmitting a lot between patient and healthcare workers. And in Toronto, for example, and they just they stopped, they were able to stomp it out. In Beijing, there was, you know, panic in the streets. I mean, there was nobody in the streets, so just shut down Beijing. And so early rent responses, I think, muted it quickly. But the point is, from an evolutionary perspective, all the cousins of stars go v1, one of which was MERS, one of which was SARS, go v2, there's probably I don't know the number, but there are multiples of these things clinking around in bats all the time. And what happened with tsarskoe v2 is one emerged that can that turned out to be incredibly transmissible and very well adapted to, to humans or human transmission, it continues to adapt through variants. Right. And that was a game changer. And well, you know, we're worried about source code v3 source code before, and anything else. I mean, we've not even paid attention to the rest of the, you know, virus fear for a long time. So that's what we got to start doing.   Rachael Jackson 21:37 Do you think that so you're you're indicating that this, this family lineage, SARS, and MERS, and SARS, COVID to originated from bats, and the second one has also the one that we're mo focuses focusing on SARS, COVID. Two came from bats and the back to human transmission. Do you think that there's my my question is twofold. Do you think that there are other completely different family lines that has nothing to do with us, rs covi that are coming from bats. And second part of that is, are there other animals that we also need to be thinking about that could have this potential transmission that were just that we haven't really focused on?   Dan Janies 22:28 Yeah, great question. So certainly, bats are the most important host for these severe medically important coronaviruses SARS MERS COVID. However, rodents have been the source of other coronaviruses animal to human transmission events have been recorded in the literature since the 60s. And they've been recorded in genomes since you know, the I would say, right after SARS, we started a sequence when I was at Ohio State that a lot of us agriculturally important coronaviruses. In fact, a lot of them do come from cows and in their cousins, camels since case immerse those coronaviruses In fact, in fact, people but they cause something, I can do a common cold. And so there was never a lot of medical concern about them. So   Rachael Jackson 23:21 medically, who cares?   Dan Janies 23:22 Yeah, yeah, it's a cold, you know, we call it a cold, or we call it influenza like illness that one of the soap boxes, I like to get honest, we don't really know what causes those things. They're one of 30 potential things could be a rhinovirus could be bacteria sometimes, and we never really diagnose the pathogen itself, like we have begun to do with source code to, to delineate it from influenza and so forth. I think that sort of personalized attack on the bug itself, rather than the symptoms is going to be wildly important now. And then we'll know more what oh, a backtrack to the animal sources of these things. So that's a great question and opens up an area of science I've been hoping to open up for a long time.   Rachael Jackson 24:06 How is Sorry, just sort of putting on this this other question? How is this for those that aren't super? well read myself included? In terms of what is the difference of I'll just use the bat, as example, right? Drag to human transmission, as opposed to some of these other diseases that we see as carriers, for example, malaria, in mosquitoes, or you used you said rodents and I, that immediately got me thinking, you know, the Black Death or the black plague is centuries ago, which was brought in by rodents, but it wasn't from rodents. It was, you know, the bugs on them. And then it got to us like what is how you talk to me like I'm five in terms of what does it mean to actually have this transmission to cross that barrier? And how is that different than these others? Sort of insect driven issues,   Dan Janies 25:03 it all matters, it's it comes down to the nature of the biology. So pathogens are just they're all just hitching a ride, right? So the bats are good at flying these things around and the bad immune system and this is a whole nother area to seems to be able to fight them off or run so hot, so to speak, that they don't get infected or, and I think they've even reduced their immune repertoire. So they're, they're just flying around happy with full of viruses. It's true. There's NEPA, Andra, don't handle that. Whatever you do. of cool. Yeah, yeah. Cool. Yeah. Oh, it's biology. Don't go to lunch with biologists either. So, so that, you know, the back question is probably people going into caves and collecting guano, I guess it's valuable, maybe eating them. I've heard of bad consumption on around the world. And then let's switch to, you know, insect borne diseases, mosquitoes are worse than bats, right, they cause more death and destruction. And you know, now almost anything on earth in terms of malaria, and flaviviruses, Zika, and dengue and so forth. And the mosquito, the female mosquito essentially bites your friend, then take some of their blood, and your furry friend has the malaria parasite called Plasmodium in it, it's the genus Plasmodium, it's a, it's a little thing called an EP complexin parasite, then the, that female mosquito goes on to you, and bites you, and then injects that Plasmodium into you. And then you get malaria. Right. And in terms of bacterial pathogens, like plague, you know, living close to the rats, and I suppose, you know, historically, rats were getting into food stores, grain and so forth. And people were eating that, and getting infected. And then once it gets into people, you're handling the body and so forth. And all that goes back to all these hygiene issues. Bacteria are terrible, too.   Rachael Jackson 27:10 So we should really, you know, I know, this is not what you're saying. But, you know, part of one of the things that I could hear you saying is be vegan, and wear a mosquito suit all the time. Like, like, like if we want to protect ourselves from these things like that's,   Dan Janies 27:28 yeah. Oh, well. What's interesting about Malaria is we had it in the United States, we had yellow fever in the United States. And so we don't have to be personally hypersensitive or hyper sensitive to what's around us if we do reasonable public health, like control standing water, have screens, our windows, things like simple things like that, that lead to mosquito control. And, you know, this,   Rachael Jackson 27:57 they're the most horrible things. I I am a, you know, from a religious standpoint, and from a you know, perhaps a standpoint of you know, I believe that things have a place and there's Domino effects when you when there's extinctions, you know, we don't fully know understand the ramifications of things but I think the world would be better without mosquitoes. I'm just, I, I see only positives from that. I see nothing good from the mosquito. And I   Zack Jackson 28:32 how will we you know, Jurassic Park without mosquito I don't care.   Ian Binns 28:38 mean, I can become a paleontologist so   Rachael Jackson 28:40 much and I'm, yeah,   Zack Jackson 28:42 that's right. You just be a biologist at that point.   Rachael Jackson 28:44 And I'm one of those people that doesn't get like a cute little mosquito bite, you know, like, oh, it itches. It's like it becomes a welts and it just like my whole like, is awful. So is there any purpose to mosquitoes that that you could shed light on? No, you people have brought   Dan Janies 29:01 up what you have is you know, why don't we just extinct them? Yeah, there there are ways to do it. I don't think we'd be successful mosquitoes   Zack Jackson 29:10 were very good at exterior Yeah.   Dan Janies 29:13 We're going to extinct something Yeah. But But the people would argue that you're taking away the food source for other other organisms like our friends in the bats. Also our friends the fish. Oh, can't   Rachael Jackson 29:26 we just make more flies then?   Dan Janies 29:33 Yeah, yeah. I'm one would, one would say look at Australia, every animal transportation or eradication attempt is calling right.   Zack Jackson 29:49 So I want to ask a question about the the variance I keep hearing if you and a question born out of ignorance because I keep hearing these acronyms thrown around and these different variants of places from the UK from South Africa from Brazil, there was that one in what the Netherlands that was coming through mink. And we were all worried about that one. And I, I hear people saying, Oh, don't worry, the vaccines still seems to be fairly effective against it. But here in Pennsylvania, we have one of the highest, the highest rates of transmission right now. We are, I think, in the top three worst states right now for new cases, which is super exciting. Can you shed some light on the, on some of these variants on the development of them? What do you have your eye on? in particular?   Dan Janies 30:47 Yeah, sure. So when we had those, you know, spikes. In late 2020, early 2021, there were a lot of cases, and every time the virus is replicating itself, it will make mistakes, right, and a lot of those mistakes and mutations will produce viral lineages that are not as successful in transmitting themselves as their, you know, their cousins. But some well, and so UK variant, not only was different by, by by 15 mutations, but also started to become predominant in the UK. And those are the two kind of Harbinger's are indicators of a successful variant. Right. And what's interesting about the UK variant, though, is the vaccines are still pretty effective against it. It's the South Africa variant, which shares some of the same mutations as the UK variant, and especially the Brazilian variant that shows some ability to not be neutralized by the first by the antibodies produced in your body by the first versions of the vaccines. Okay. However, remember, these vaccines were 90% effective against what we call the wild type, the original source COVID. So they had some ground to give, and they're still certainly effective. The number of breakthrough cases were people who were beyond two weeks since their second Pfizer materna shot for example. I think in the United States, something like 5000 total, people have been infected. But that's a very small number against, you know, 40,000 in you know, successful injections, right. So they do occur. Nobody ever said these vaccines were perfect. They're slightly less perfect against variants. But we do have to be vigilant. I mean, there are stories out of Brazil that they thought not vaccination, because they've had a terrible rollout. But in the city of Manassas in the Amazon, they thought that they had herd immunity just because 60% of the people have had Coronavirus, just because of transmission. And the variant emerged. And you know, it's not going away. This is just SARS Coronavirus, two in evolution doing its job. And all those people got reinfected by the Brazilian variants. So there was Yeah, so it's just been ravaging in Brazil. And we don't want that here. And I'm not surprised the UK variant got around the border was open, you could fly to London and back, especially post Brexit, right? The interesting thing here is to where there are a few cases of Brazilian variant, but they've been all travel cases and stopped. In South Africa variant, they see it occurs here in South Carolina. In other states, I looked at the original data, and it's not very good. So I'm worried and vigilant.   Rachael Jackson 33:46 And what does that mean? I'm sorry, what is what is not very good mean?   Dan Janies 33:49 They sequence the virus, and it was an incomplete sequence. And some of the mutations were not characterized. They had Say, say these things are characterized on 15 mutations, they and eight of them that they called it is good enough. So   Rachael Jackson 34:04 okay, so so it's not it's not that, Oh, no, the data is showing bad. It's saying the data was bad, the data was complete.   Dan Janies 34:12 So I, you know, I'll take that back tomorrow, if the if more data comes out, and it's all good. But these things going to other, there's also domestic variants occurring too. There's a variant thing called a California variant, there was a Ohio or Midwest variant. And we're watching all of those vaccines vaccine seemed to continue to work against those even though they're transmitting a lot. So our domestic variants are not quite as worrisome as these originally foreign variants in all these things have overlap. So to call them a, you know, a unique entity is is is a little bit strange. They're they're nested sets of mutations, so to speak.   Kendra Holt-Moore 34:56 I just wanted to follow up and ask Do we know Why the vaccines work against some of the variants and not others? Is that still just like totally mysterious to us? Or is there something that people are finding like this is why it's sort of effective.   Dan Janies 35:19 The key part of the spike protein that binds to yourself called the receptor binding domain. Those are sort of the business end of the virus, and the antibodies produced by the original vaccine against those are not as effective as against the new variants who have modified that receptor binding domain. So they're, they're those new variants are modifying their business and to get into your cells, even though you've been vaccinated.   Kendra Holt-Moore 35:54 Okay, that makes sense. So it's just that some mutations are like closer, they're in the   Zack Jackson 35:59 right spot   Kendra Holt-Moore 36:01 than others.   Dan Janies 36:02 Yeah. And they're in the right spot, they've hit on Yeah. There's, there's one called e 44k, which seems to open up a lot of infectious territory for the virus, then there's one called en 501, y that does the same. And in some of these things have to happen in sets, like, one has changed to compensate for the loss of fitness, or the virus might work a little bad if it only had that one. But if it has to works even better, so it's a it's a complicated choreography that the virus does through evolution.   Kendra Holt-Moore 36:41 Yeah, that makes sense. And then I guess, one more follow up, cuz I know, Rachel has question is, you know, if, if some of these variants are so different that the vaccines we have now aren't really doing it? Like, do you think that in the future, we will be able to formulate a vaccine that can cover all variants? Or are we going to end up with like multiple vaccines to cover different kinds of variants? And it'll just be like, extra shots every year?   Dan Janies 37:13 Yeah, there's a couple of questions there. So one is the first thing is the vaccines are good. They remain good and effective against most variants. The most important thing is even if you're reinfected, you have some immune protection. And the people who are reinfected the small fraction, they're reinfected are not going into the intensive care and are not dying. And so you may have a mild experience, rather than just being immune, I mean, immunologically naive, being re infected post inoculation, but you're not gonna die, right? I mean, you're not going to go to the hospital, we, so that that's the most important thing. And that's, that's the key message. So it's not game over with a variant. Yeah. But it's an ongoing game, right? And an ongoing struggle. And there's a couple of things going on, if we want to roll out, there's a window of opportunity to roll out more and more vaccinations before the virus continues to vary in a way that we can't combat. And then also back to the lab, right. studies are being done to reprint the vaccine, these vaccines are, especially the MMR and a vaccines, they're amazing. You basically just specify what kind of protein you're through what kind of mRNA you want to make, which is the instructions for your body to make the protein free reanna your antibodies to respond to. So they can just say, okay, we see you variant, we're printing you out, and we're going to put that in people now. You know. So that that's, that's just tremendous. I mean, we are, we are incrementally winning this arms race. If we do all things, right, if we prepare, and we do all our due diligence, and people listen.   Rachael Jackson 39:06 You can hear all of our cynicism, and that laugh.   Dan Janies 39:09 Yeah.   Kendra Holt-Moore 39:11 It is really cool, though. And like really, you know, we   Dan Janies 39:13 are much better prepared than we were six months ago. It's amazing. And now, I mean, I'll, I'll go on for just a minute more. There's talk of preparing mRNA technologies against cancer, preparing mRNA technologies against all kinds of other infectious agents. So this, although as terrible as this was the technological spin off, could be tremendous. And, you know, vaccines and infectious disease were, were not a well funded enterprise for a long time. And now we've learned our lesson the hard way it was in the 70s. I think the, you know, least the American Medical enterprise said, you know, cancer is where it's at, and we think and Excess diseases pretty much whipped. And that's completely not true.   Ian Binns 40:04 So is it because of the mRNA technology? Is that what makes the these vaccines so effective? I mean, you talked about like, even Historically, the level the percentage, what 90 to 95% effective is just mind boggling compared to historically with vaccines, Is it because of that technology? Well,   Dan Janies 40:26 bear in mind the the dino virus, which is also a relatively newly employed technology to were also very effective. So much of, you know, Johnson Johnson was one shot at 76%, I think we had the advantage of, at the time fighting one variant, whereas with influenza, there's multiple circulating variants all the time, it's been around, you know, for a long time, where's this source code to was newly emergent, it looked like one thing at the time, the decisions were being made. Whereas influenza is basically a committee decision. And if, nowadays, we we design a vaccine against four of them. And it's a lot of guesswork, but this was not guesswork. We, you know, the MRIs were printed against the stars COVID, two that came out of Wuhan. And so, so now they're gonna have to print them against the one coming out of South Africa, the one coming out of   Zack Jackson 41:22 Britain, I should point out for those at home, who are not super familiar with the way that vaccines have worked, and you can feel free to correct me, because I'm sure I'll be wrong. But the way that flu vaccines have worked is, you know, basically you they try to figure out ahead of time, which ones are going to be the dominant strains, and they have to isolate those strains, and then breed those strains in isolation and breed a variant that is less deadly, and then kill it, and then put it into egg whites. Yes, right. And like, that whole process takes months and months and months and tons of eggs for some reason it I think people still don't realize how, in some ways primitive the technology is, whereas the mRNA vaccine contains the the information for your body to do the creating of the thing that it wants to have resistance against. And so we have the information about the spike protein at the end, we tell your arm muscle, make that spike spike protein, your immune system goes, What is this mess? We need to kill this and sleep and then a couple of weeks later, it's like it's back again. All right, now we really need to remember this. And then whenever it sees the spike protein, chillin on a Coronavirus. It goes and eats it up. Yeah. And there's no eggs that have to be used.   Dan Janies 42:53 Excellent. With it, the one caveat that cell cultures now use for a lot of influenza vaccine production. So but i would i would bet money that, you know, we see I'm already vaccines for from influenza, in the near future to and other other viruses. So,   Rachael Jackson 43:15 you know, from a genetic standpoint, is there I am really trying to understand why this technology took until now to be used. Right? There's there's I think there's sort of maybe, maybe a general misconception in the overall populace that you know, this mRNA it's brand new, and we've we've never seen it before. And it's it's this newfangled thing when it's, there's this woman, Caitlin carico. And I might be mispronouncing her name, I have only read it, but she's been doing this for 30 years. So what, why not just a why now, but why not? Then? Like, what what has changed in the genetics fields? What has changed in epidemiology that has said, Sure, let's try it now.   Dan Janies 44:10 I think the crisis, and you know, the business model wasn't there before and the crisis drove for there be a business model for a rapidly developed vaccine that was tunable. And we put enough money into it that we didn't bank on just one technology. So nobody, nobody said it's mRNA or nothing. They they also did a dino virus technology. And yeah,   Rachael Jackson 44:34 what have we done this 2030 years ago? Like, what if because you're saying one of the statements you just made was that there's a potential now that we've seen the efficacy and that we've poured money into it that we might transition from the influenza vaccine that we all know and love and hate. And take a button that went out there to this completely new way of understanding it? Why wouldn't we have done that 20 years ago.   Dan Janies 45:02 conservatism, I mean, getting getting things approved is is hard. You know, vaccines are, you know, I'm not an expert in this field. But I understand that it's not a great business does take a lot of government influence and incentives. There's this agency called BARDA, VA, er, da, that that their role is to protect the country by making government investments in pharmaceutical development such that we are prepared for this. And I imagine agencies like that will become ever more important than how we run the country.   Ian Binns 45:36 So can I ask you something, just for clarification with the fact that we are at the very beginning of this when we realize we need to develop and produce and distribute vaccines to beat this thing? Where the idea is already there? Well, before this of mRNA technology is the way we should go in the future? Or was this a we need all hands on deck, whatever technology you have you better to use it?   Dan Janies 46:01 Yeah, the ladder in this case, but this was, you know, hopefully 100 year flood. All these technologies existed on paper, or, or even in the case of adenovirus vector technology. It was used in the gene therapy field, and there was a death of a patient. And so it got taken off the shelf. Because then that was recently resurrected. And in terms of vaccines.   Ian Binns 46:29 Okay, but mRNA technology? I'm sorry, you may have said earlier, what else is was it used for prior to this? Because obviously, it's existed, but for medical treatments, is it been used for other things,   Dan Janies 46:41 I'm not aware of any, I could be wrong about that. But we use it every day to make you need to transcribe our DNA and the proteins   Zack Jackson 46:50 you're doing right now. So   Rachael Jackson 46:55 what we've sort of had sort of a roundtable q&a today, which I really appreciate that you've been able to be here for Daniel and allowed us to have this. We're limited by what we know. So are there things that you want to tell us and all those listening, things that we just didn't even know to ask?   Dan Janies 47:19 Yeah, um, please, you know, seek a vaccine, if you're able, and you're your physician, you know, the real regulate Shin allows you to, you're taking taking advantage of tremendous technology that's not going to only, you know, make your health better, but everybody around you, that's what's amazing, though, no vaccines. So I would like to see this starting to be part of in part of good citizenship. And something that we touched upon in prep that we haven't really gotten to is the threat of misinformation. So I think also, it's a matter of good citizenship, not to Ford wonky things, you know, he is free country, you can say whatever you want, but, you know, don't I would like people to care about their reputations online, and then maybe try to check multiple sources and or ask questions and, and not only we having this done to us by foreign adversaries who, for whatever reason, want to slow down our rollout or want to diminish the quality of our vaccine, or the perceived quality of our vaccine so they can sell theirs. We're doing the starting to do it to ourselves with shame. So we're starting to misinformed ourselves for whatever reason,   Ian Binns 48:37 what have been some of your biggest surprises. I know you talked about this a little bit earlier, but over the past year, like things have just really surprised you about your field scientific community in general. The public I mean, just Yes,   Dan Janies 48:54 I would say three things. How big search COBie two was, versus its predecessors, MERS and SARS GAVI to our lack of ability to see what was happening, and we saw it in China, and we didn't believe it. China and Italy, in not take it seriously. That American arrogance, or however you want to put it, which I hated to say wouldn't have said it in 2019. But the fact that this wasn't going to happen to us was just surprising. And then, how bad it was and how we thought we and how we couldn't hold the fort, right? We thought we were through this and people are impatient and they relax their behaviors. And now that we've been having that vaccines, people don't want to accept them and we have this window of opportunity. Now a real window of opportunity. That's not not even you know, terrible. You're not in here vaccine, you can see your grandkids you can you know, you can circulate you can Do all the fun things you want. It's and people are not accepting it. And so all this is a, it's gonna be an ongoing struggle, I   Zack Jackson 50:07 think on multiple fronts. What's your most optimistic projection for what 2021 will look like for the world?   Dan Janies 50:16 I think it's gonna matter every year, it's gonna be patchy, you know, I think your IRA economy's already recovering, I think through tremendous stimulus, I don't know how long that's gonna last. So I'm digressing into a different field here, but but we have the, you know, we have the tools to get out of this thing, we just need to bear down and use them, their place in the world where it's gonna be bad for a long time. And Brazil has a terrible rollout. You know, these places that bought vaccines from China and Russia, may get them may not get them. You know, they may work fine, but they can't produce in the numbers that need to be produced. You know, we we definitely could roll out some of our surplus once we get to that point to to other countries, and we shall, but that's gonna, that's going to take time. So I think we're going to be okay. I think there's going to be pockets of the world that are not going to be okay. For a very long time.   Ian Binns 51:13 Didn't how does that play in for us?   Dan Janies 51:15 Don't Don't count on traveling up. Yeah, enjoy go to the Grand Canyon or something. You're not going to you're not going to Asia? Or or you're not going to the Olympics. You're not going to Europe anytime soon. You can't   Ian Binns 51:30 feel like the impact of international travel. Yeah, it's gonna last for a long time.   51:36 Yeah. Like,   Ian Binns 51:36 I just feel like it's potential for that for several years. Yeah.   Zack Jackson 51:41 But I can go to a Phillies game this summer. Sure. If you want it. Yeah,   Dan Janies 51:50 I think we'll get back to normal domestic activities, including school in the fall,   Zack Jackson 51:56 including drunken karaoke and a smoky bar.   Dan Janies 52:00 Just don't, I said this podcast. I think individually packaged peanuts are going to be   Zack Jackson 52:12 Oh, you should already see the variety and individually packaged communion kits. Yeah, they have just in the past year exploded in variety, and flavors and shapes and sizes. And we're all about that individual packaging now. Thank you again, thanks for taking time to, to spend with us to answer our questions to help illuminate some of our pockets of ignorance. I hope that things will really rolled out as as well as you. You make them seem at least here. You are not very optimistic for the rest of the world. But I hope you're wrong about that. So I doubt you are you've been right about everything so far.   Dan Janies 53:04 Well, thanks for having me. It's really important work that you're doing. So thanks very much.   Ian Binns 53:08 Thank you

一、《經濟學人》總評 ● 本期最佳文章：資產管理業 ● 整體評價： A 這一期的內容非常精彩，但為什麼評分不如上一期？原因很簡單，這期的中國相關文章我覺得寫的不好看，有些偏頗，也沒有營養。 整個雜誌內容還是緊緊抓住了全球最關心的輿論主軸，隨著輝瑞與德國BioNTech的疫苗可能問世，全球政經情勢又有了新的變化。《經濟學人》在封面故事中，分析了這個新聞衍生出來的各種假設情況，也提醒我們不要得意忘形，仍有許多的不確定橫亙眼前。 這期內容中最讓我愛不釋手的兩個議題，一個是價值投資的時不我予，《經濟學人》對台灣投資界追捧的巴菲特投資哲學打了個問號，很有見地。另外它還花了八篇文章，在特別報導裡帶我們深入解讀資產管理在2030年前的可能變化。 最後，憑良心說，這一期的中國相關文章寫得不太好。這期總共有五篇，中國板塊的三篇分別談了香港問題、中國人的心靈空虛以及茶館專欄的第100期，可讀可不讀，沒有什麼養分。 另外商業板塊則有一篇闡述中國民營企業家現在遇到的困難。我覺得，現在因為法制的要求越來越多，過去在野蠻成長時期很多可以做的事情現在都大受限制，互聯網企業也不再像以前那麼高調了，但《經濟學人》以負面角度的陰謀論說明這個現象，我覺得就有些過了。 封面故事 封面標題：〈Suddently，hope〉( 突然而至的希望)。另外在科技板塊第一篇〈Fast tests for covid-19〉中寫到，便宜、快速的SARS-COVID-2測試即將出現，他們會是一個現在需要的權宜之計嗎？ 1954年把麻疹病毒分離出來到正式獲得疫苗許可，總共花了九年的時間；小兒麻痹疫苗從早期試驗到1955年疫苗在美國獲得許可，更是等了20年之久。然後，令人驚奇的是，這次針對新冠病毒研發的有效疫苗，竟然只花了一年時間。兩家製藥公司輝瑞公司和BioNTech公司，本週公佈最後試驗階段的早期數據，報告顯示，接種疫苗可將病癥減少90％以上。突然，在一個黑暗的冬天，有了希望。 儘管是好消息，但有關疫苗的特性和普遍接種的速度來看，存在著兩大問題。一是截至目前為止，相關病例和研究數據都不夠多，另一個問題，是疫苗供不應求。更糟糕的是，輝瑞的針頭需要保存在-70°C甚至更低的溫度下，這遠遠超出了化學家的想像。 二、關於疫苗研發，其他外媒如何報導 《紐約時報》：〈Are These Markets Really Efficient?〉(市場是真正的有效率反應嗎？) 《倫敦金融時報(FT)》社論：〈Markets have found reasons to be cheerful〉(市場已經發現了高興的理由) 《美國全國廣播公司(CNBC)》：〈This changes everything: What the vaccine news could mean for markets in 2021〉(這個變化改變了一切：疫苗對2021年市場的意義) 《華爾街日報》：〈Pfizer's Vaccine Is a Pick-Me-Up for Value Stocks〉(輝瑞的疫苗是一個價值型股票的救贖) 路透社(Loutes)》：這支疫苗現在分配運送的最大障礙，在它需要超級低溫的運送和儲存。 《彭博商業週刊(Bloomberg)》：未經傳統較長時間的充分試驗就廣泛使用，接種者出現副作用的風險就更大。 三、本期《經濟學人》精采文章導讀 本期最精彩的部分，對於價值投資無比崇拜的巴菲特聖徒，一定要好好細讀《經濟學人》的論點。緒論第四篇的標題：〈Beyond Buffett〉(超越巴菲特)；小標：〈Does value investing still work?〉(價值投資仍然可行嗎？)。Briefing專文的標題則是：〈Value investing struggles〉(價值投資的苦苦掙扎)。 一個世紀以來，掌控金融世界的主要意識形態一直是價值投資，但和間接金融一樣，他們對企業持有的是一種保守的態度—重視他們的資產、現金流量和過往記錄，而非未來的發展計劃或藍圖。 現在的麻煩在於，價值投資導致意料之外的糟糕結果。 如果您十年前購買了價值1美元的價值型股票，今天它們的價格為2.50美元，而整個股票市場平均為3.45美元，不包括價值型股票的整個市場價格為4.65美元。 巴菲特的Berkshire Hathaway公司，更是已經跟不上市場。 與此同時，全球經濟發生了兩個重要變化，而價值型投資是完全沒辦法抓住機會的。首先是無形資產的增長，無形資產現在佔美國商業投資的三分之一以上。第二個變化，是外部的影響力日益增加，而這些成本是企業必須面對卻又不想支付的一環。 我認為，現在的投資世界早就已經不同以往，過去的成功越來越不能保證未來的發展。特斯拉如今的估值是Toyota兩倍之多。投資世界更看重的是企業的未來發展，而不是過往的沈澱。 價值投資不是一無是處，但作為新時代的投資人，你必須具備三個新能力，以判斷它的真實價值：1.看懂產業趨勢的變化；2.有能力調研你想投資企業的發展方向；3.明白無形資產的評價，這包括瞭解團隊與研發投入。 第42頁後的特別報導，我建議無論你是金融從業人員（尤其理財專員），或是關心這個產業發展的人，都應該花時間仔細閱讀。 八篇文章，從資產管理行業的發跡，為什麼一躍而起？到這個行業現在面臨的問題以及商業模式的瑕疵，《經濟學人》都分析的恰到好處。最後它還以私有市場以及股權投資與共同基金的交叉發展做為預測，和我的想法不謀而合。第七篇有關上海金融市場的開放思維值得一讀，最後一篇的結論，雖然《經濟學人》自我嘲諷的認為它只是猜測，但我已經感覺八九不離十。 我個人當然最喜歡第五篇以及第六篇文章，這兩篇文章可以讓你真正明白全球股權投資的最新變化，這和你在台灣看見新創孵化以及創業投資截然不同。它的變化，根源於全球資本市場的欲罷不能，以及共同基金的不長進，更重要的是投資人的與日俱進，需要更專業的基金經理人出現。另外第七篇寫大陸尤其上海的金融開放，我覺得寫得還算接地氣，想看明白中國的金融戰略是什麼的話，可以看看。 無論如何，我覺得未來十年台灣年輕一代絕對是有機會，你不要錯過，但記得打開窗戶，窗外有藍天！ 其中第八篇-尾聲，標題：〈Doctor's prescriptions〉(醫生的處方)；小標：〈How will asset management look in 2030?〉(資產管理業在2030年的模樣？)，文章提及至2030年之前，對於資產管理的四個預測。 第一個預測是最謹慎的。 到2030年，這個行業的分類將全數完成，會區分成少數的大型資產管理公司，和更多的利基型資產管理小公司。 第二個預測是，資產管理的競爭將圍繞特定的投資人，所以會需要客製化的產品。 第三個預測是，ESG將不會成為主動資產管理的救星。 第四個預測是，儘管公司治理越來越重要，但大型被動基金還是不會選擇使用投票權來影響企業的。 此外，還有其他幾個重要的預測： 消費貸款Private Debt將變得越來越重要、美國將逐漸失去其在創投的領先地位、 矽谷的大型創投公司仍然有其魅力，這要歸功於他們創造億萬富翁的記錄， 但是更多後起之秀將出現在其他地方。 最後，分享我最喜歡的一個段落作為結尾，這段文字位於第一篇文章的最後一段： 『今天，企業更多的價值在創意，而不是固定資產。大型企業越來越能自己創造收益，啓動小型企業的資金需求則越來越少。其結果就是更多的錢在追逐更少的機會。投資者的回應就是，努力去降低基金管理公司成本，並轉向私人市場投入更多的資金，以期獲得比公開市場更高的回報。這種反應正在重塑整個資產管理產業。』 這份特別報導，聚焦在資產管理行業的前景，並質疑它們對經濟、企業的管理、資本配置以及反對資金信任的投資人的意義。它也將驗證，中國這個正待開發的市場，到底能不能成為新的資產管理產業的增長源。 四、除了疫苗之外，另一個重要新聞是RCEP的簽署 《英國廣播公司(BBC)》：在美中貿易、科技持續對抗之際，包括中國與亞洲14國在內的「區域全面經濟夥伴關係協定」(RCEP)，將在11月15日簽署。這一協定因所涵蓋的人口之多，貿易及經濟總量之大，被認為是世界上最大的自由貿易協定。但是，作為世界第一經濟大國的美國並不在其中。 《彭博商業週刊(Bloomberg)》：包括中國在內的15個亞太國家，將打造世界最大經濟圈，這對中國來說，是一個前所未有的勝利。 《路透社(Loutes)》則注意到，這一協定簽署之時，正值美國大選最緊張的時候，但也讓外界質疑華盛頓與亞太國家的互動關係。這很可能更強化中國在整個亞洲的地位。 《日本共同社評論》：由於中國不是美國曾經主導的另一個大規模自貿協議——跨太平洋夥伴關係協定（TPP）的一部分，中國在使RCEP得以落實的過程中發揮了積極作用。 RCEP標榜降低關稅、強化具有共同原產地規則的供應鏈，並編訂新的電子商務規則。標普全球信評公司亞太區首席經濟學者羅契表示，「雖然RCEP不夠深入，至少與TPP相比是如此，但它範圍廣，涵蓋許多經濟體和商品，這在貿易保護主義抬頭的時代十分罕見」。 RCEP國家大部份彼此已簽署自由貿易協定，唯一沒有自貿協定的是中國與日本、日本與韓國，中日、日韓這兩組國家在RECP之下，將首次互降關稅、互相開放市場，東北亞與東南亞經濟將因此整合，此發展對台灣有較大影響。 有人說台灣是「信息技術產品協議」（ITA）的會員國，但半導體等相關產品原本就是零關稅，對台廠影響不大。然而RCEP不僅涉及關稅，也關涉開放服務業、金融保險投資與電子商務等產品降稅或合作，這方面台灣將苦無機會。 Powered by Firstory Hosting

SOTTO ATTACCO | Ep. 5 - Lui, il peggiore ...Contenuto sponsorizzato Il quinto episodio della serie realizzata da Sophos e Radio IT sui Grandi Crimini Informatici parte dal virus che sta travolgendo le nostre vite: Sars-Covid-2. E parte dal 31 dicembre 2019. Mentre il mondo festeggia l'arrivo del nuovo anno, in pochi prestano attenzione a una notizia che arriva da una sconosciuta città cinese, Wuhan. A migliaia di chilometri da noi, la Commissione Sanitaria Municipale segnala alla Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità l'esistenza di alcuni casi a grappolo di una polmonite mai vista prima. Tutti gli infetti hanno una cosa in comune: frequentano il locale mercato all'ingrosso di frutti di mare ed animali vivi. Il 31 dicembre 2019 è quindi il giorno in cui si ha la prima notizia di quello che la scienza chiama Sars-Covid-2 e tutti noi Coronavirus. Un patogeno devastante, con effetti ulteriori a quelli clinici. Quel virus cambia le vite di tutti, con ricadute colossali anche sul rapporto tra le persone e la tecnologia; rapporto che diventa più intenso, e più complicato. Con Sophos raccontiamo come il Coronavirus ha potenziato gli attacchi informatici e quali crimini siano stati commessi con maggior frequenza. E naturalmente spieghiamo come difendersi in modo efficace con pochi, facili gesti. Ma essenziali.

Vitamin D is not only associated with decreased severity from COVID-2 but also decreased mortality from COVID-2. A study that involved 780 confirmed cases of SARS-COVID-2 showed decreased severity in blood clots, hypoxia, and respiratory stress. There were three groups involved in the study: Group 1: Had enough vitamin D Group 2: Had insufficient vitamin D Group 3: Had a deficiency in vitamin D The group that had a deficiency in vitamin D had a much higher mortality rate than the group that had enough vitamin D. Vitamin D can potentially put out the cytokine storm. You could be at a much higher risk of infection if you are deficient in vitamin D.

Wir hören jeden Tag die neuen Zahlen der Corona-Infizierten. Und die machen vielen Menschen Angst - und sind Grund für den andauernden Lockdown. Aber die Zahlen sagen nichts über die Gefährlichkeit des Virus. Und darauf kommt es ja eigentlich an. Wir sprechen mit Prof. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, Facharzt für Mikrobiologie und Infektionsepidemiologie über die tatsächliche Gefahr, die von SARS-CoVid-2 ausgeht. Er erläutert uns die neue Studie von Prof. Ioannidis von der Stanford-University in den USA und sagt: dieses Corona-Virus ist nicht so gefährlich, daß ein Lockdown gerechtfertigt wäre und kommt zu dem Schluß, daß die Entwicklung eines Impfstoffes nicht die Lösung ist.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6068CON IL CORONAVIRUS LA LIBERTA' E' IN PERICOLO di Paolo GulisanoNelle narrazioni che circolano sui media e sui social, la strategia con cui l'Italia sta affrontando l'epidemia di SARS Covid-19 è la migliore possibile, un modello ovviamente invidiato e ammirato come tutto il resto del Made in Italy. Evidentemente si tratta di una delle forme di training autogeno messe in atto nel Paese, dai flash mob sui balconi ai video con canti patriottici che inondano whatsapp.Un bagno di sano realismo viene invece da un articolo apparso ieri sul New York Times, a firma di Jason Horowitz, esperto di affari italiani. L'analisi di Horowitz è lucida e impietosa. L'Italia ha commesso una serie di terribili errori strategici nella modalità di affrontare l'epidemia. L'Italia è il Paese in Europa dove l'epidemia si è di gran lunga più diffusa, e questo dovrebbe fare riflettere. Dove il numero di morti ha addirittura superato quello della Cina, che ha un numero di abitanti 25 volte superiore. E' evidente che qualcosa non ha funzionato.Per certi versi si potrebbe dire che l'Italia sta diventando sì un modello per gli altri Paesi, ma come esempio di come non si debba procedere. In primo luogo, come avevamo fatto già notare un mese fa, al deflagrare dell'epidemia, l'Italia è arrivata impreparata al conflitto, come spesso è accaduto nella sua storia. Molto è stato detto ma molto resterebbe ancora da dire sulla insufficienza di posti letto, in particolare di terapia intensiva, sugli esigui organici medici ed infermieristici, persino sulla scarsità di approvvigionamenti di materiale di prevenzione. Insomma, in termini bellici, è come se il Governo avesse mandato allo sbaraglio i suoi soldati e ufficiali, come quando nella Prima Guerra Mondiale i generali mandavano i reparti al massacro fuori dalle trincee. [...]MANCATI CONTROLLI E SUCCESSIVA MILITARIZZAZIONE DEL PAESEIl tutto è stato poi ulteriormente complicato e peggiorato dalle scelte del Governo Conte. Horowitz punta il dito sull'attendismo, sulle incertezze di azione, sulla scarsa comprensione del fenomeno, sui mancati controlli sui rientri dalla Cina, motivati dall'intento di non apparire razzisti, di non fare regali alle forze politiche di opposizione.Se l'esperienza italiana ha qualcosa da insegnare, fa notare Horowitz, è che le misure per isolare le aree colpite e per limitare gli spostamenti della popolazione devono essere adottate immediatamente, messe in atto con assoluta chiarezza e fatte rispettare rigorosamente. In Italia non è avvenuto. Si è guardato sì al modello draconiano cinese, che ha funzionato (se ha funzionato) perché applicato da una delle più terribili dittature del pianeta, ma lo si è applicato in modo confuso e rabberciato. Lo si è applicato in mezzo alle contraddizioni che venivano dai leader stessi del principale partito di Governo, con la ormai tristemente celebre gita-aperitivo a Milano di Zingaretti mentre i contagi da Covid avevano già raggiunto i 400 casi e i decessi superavano la decina.Intanto il virus si era da tempo diffuso, silenziosamente, a causa della mancanza di controlli sugli arrivi dalla Cina. Ormai sappiamo che ben prima del celebre caso uno di Codogno il virus era già attivo da settimane in Italia, trasmesso da persone asintomatiche e spesso scambiato per un'influenza stagionale. Si è diffuso in Lombardia, la regione italiana con le più forti relazioni commerciali con la Cina.CHIUDERE LA BOCCA ALL'ISTITUTO SUPERIORE DI SANITÀNei suoi tentativi di interrompere il contagio, adottati uno per volta, isolando prima le città, poi le regioni, quindi chiudendo il Paese in un blocco intenzionalmente permeabile l'Italia si è sempre trovata un passo indietro rispetto alla traiettoria letale del virus. Ora ci troviamo con dei provvedimenti restrittivi che sono pari se non superiori a quelli della Cina, mentre la curva epidemica continua inesorabilmente a salire. [...]La tragedia che l'Italia sta vivendo rappresenta un monito per gli altri Paesi europei e per gli Stati Uniti, dove il virus sta arrivando con la stessa velocità.Molti Paesi hanno già attuato campagne di informazione e di sensibilizzazione della popolazione, hanno provveduto ad approvvigionarsi di materiali di protezione, stanno potenziando gli ospedali, stanno cercando di attuare misure di contenimento del contagio senza ricorre ad eccessive limitazioni delle libertà.Compresa la libertà di pensare e di ragionare: l'ultima pensata di Conte sarebbe infatti quella di chiudere la bocca all'Istituto Superiore di Sanità, colpevole agli occhi del Premier di avere sottolineato che una percentuale molto significativa delle vittime andrebbe classificata come "morti con Covid" e non morti per Covid. Una distinzione epidemiologicamente importante, perché ci dice che per molte di queste persone l'infezione virale è stata una sorta di colpo di grazia in una situazione clinica già compromessa da altre patologie.Conte non vuole questo tipo di comunicazione, perché oggi è funzionale alla sua strategia che la gente abbia il terrore della malattia, per non uscire da casa, che è la sua unica arma attualmente a disposizione per la prevenzione di nuovi casi.Nota di BastaBugie: Stefano Fontana nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Senza la libertà non c'è neanche tutela della vita" fa notare che nei commenti dei politici e degli opinionisti così come nelle reazioni della gente, c'è la percezione che quella contro il coronavirus sia una guerra che giustifica la sospensione delle libertà. È un vecchio dibattito che ha visto impegnati molti filosofi, ma la realtà ci dice che quando il potere toglie la libertà non garantisce nemmeno la sicurezza e la vita.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 20 marzo 2020:Ormai è sulle bocche di tutti: "siamo in guerra!". Si vive quella del coronavirus come la situazione di eccezione di cui si sono occupati i principali teorici della politica, primo fra tutti Carl Schmitt. Secondo lui la sovranità politica consiste nel decidere del caso di eccezione, come nel caso di una guerra dove l'opposizione amico/nemico raggiunge il suo proprio livello politico. L'eccezione si configura tale quando, data la sua urgenza, per fronteggiarla bisogna azzerare tutte le norme, le prassi e le garanzie. Quando vengono meno la norma e il diritto, allora il potere manifesta pienamente se stesso: decide al di fuori del diritto ma la sua decisione ha valore giuridico. Di più: per Schmitt il potere non consiste solo nel decidere davanti allo stato di eccezione, ma anche nel decidere quando ci sia uno stato di eccezione. Senza un potere così inteso, la società viene travolta dalla guerra civile che, secondo Schmitt, è il male peggiore di ogni male.Non so se Schmitt sarebbe d'accordo a considerare la pandemia in corso come situazione di eccezione paragonabile alla guerra. La gente che dice "siamo in guerra!" la pensa però così, pur non essendo Carl Schmitt. Vengono sospese le norme e le libertà personali in molti ambiti, crescono i poteri esecutivi su quelli legislativi, aumentano i Decreti del Presidente del Consiglio, il Parlamento è in quarantena, spesso la Costituzione non viene rispettata, si attuano soprusi senza nessuna protesta come nel caso della sospensione della messa a Cerveteri, si invita a non usare i contanti per motivi sanitari e intanto si controlla l'uso del denaro.La percezione della gente è di una situazione di eccezione, un caso estremo con il relativo scontro tra sicurezza e libertà. La vecchia dicotomia di Thomas Hobbes torna di attualità, con la sua sottostante visione pessimistica dell'uomo: l'umanità prova paura davanti a se stessa e solo il potere come decisione la può salvare.Ernst Jünger, nel suo Trattato del ribelle, metteva in luce il pericolo di una organizzazione capillare della sanità da parte del sistema politico, al quale contrapponeva il valore della libertà: "Le fabbriche della salute, con medici assunti e mal retribuiti, le cui cure sono assoggettate al controllo burocratico, sono sospette: da un giorno all'altro - e non soltanto in caso di guerra - potrebbero assumere un volto inquietante". Ipotizzando l'estensione del potere oltre la sanità, "non è impossibile che proprio da tali schedari ordinati in modo esemplare - egli diceva - escano i documenti che serviranno a internarci, a castrarci o a liquidarci".Il caso di eccezione chiama in causa la decisione del potere come ultima istanza, ma essendo che al potere spetta anche decidere quando si verifica il caso di eccezione, questo potrà essere individuato domani in un'altra emergenza e domani l'altro in un'altra ancora. Alla fine, per dirla ancora con Jünger, "nessuno di noi può sapere oggi se per caso domani mattina non si troverà a far parte di un gruppo dichiarato illegale". Se Jünger teme il sovranismo davanti alla situazione di eccezione, altri sottolineano le difficoltà della democrazia parlamentare a far fronte alle emergenze. Per Donoso Cortes quella borghese è una "classe che discute" (clase discutidora), che ritiene che la società umana sia un grande club, che la verità nasca da sola attraverso la votazione e che, alla richiesta di scegliere tra Cristo e Barabba, risponderebbe istituendo una commissione per esaminare la faccenda. Contro il decisionismo del potere di Schmitt, la democrazia liberale è attendista e irrisoluta: incapace di fronteggiare l'eccezione.Queste reminiscenze libresche - fatti i debiti aggiornamenti - ci aiutano a capire i valori in gioco oggi in tempo di coronavirus: siamo disposti a rinunciare alla libertà per avere la sicurezza? Vogliamo sottometterci ad un dispotismo decisionista per avere salva la vita?La sospensione della libertà per la decisione di un potere sovrano davanti ad una situazione di eccezione non è accettabile: chi infatti può dire quando si sia veramente in questa situazione?
