This week, after five years of research, two newly discovered antiviral molecules have been shown to combat coronaviruses. Johan Neyts of the Rega Institute for Medical Research in Leuven outlines how he hopes the new molecule developed by his team might help us deal with emerging pandemics in the future. But as the US halts all Covid related research, will drugs like these ever hit the shelves? Among the grants terminated this week by the National Institute for Health is a programme called AViDD, AntiViral Drug Discovery, supporting 9 independent consortia. Annette von Delft of Oxford University and Ed Griffen of the drugs discovery company MedChemica spoke to us about the overnight shut down of years of work and importance of antiviral development. The longest ever carbon-based molecules have been discovered by the Mars Curiosity rover. Caroline Freissinet of the Laboratoire Atmosphères et Observations Spatiales talked us through the meticulous planning and geological chance that made this possible, and whether these long chain alkanes could be a clue to discovering life on mars. Researchers at Vanderbilt University have been delving into the genetic evolution of horses to discover the mutation that's behind their runaway metabolic success. Gianni Castiglione explains how a mutation that should have been catastrophic instead helped horses to evolve from the size of dogs to the giant athletic animals we know today.

State agencies work to combat spread A month ago, avian influenza, or bird flu, was found in a commercial duck farm on Long Island, leading to the deaths of over 100,000 birds. The discovery, coming shortly after the disease was found in birds in Putnam County, led to fears of widespread outbreaks. While the disease has continued to kill wild birds, the outbreak at the Crescent Duck Farm has so far been the only case of the disease at a large bird farm in New York. And in the weeks since the Putnam and Long Island cases were discovered, there's only been two others confirmed in smaller backyard flocks: one with 50 birds in Ulster County, and a flock of 15 ducks and geese near Syracuse. H5N1 - the avian influenza strain being found in the U.S. - was also discovered during testing at live bird markets in New York City's outer boroughs earlier this month. Those markets were temporarily shut down by the state. Elizabeth Wolters, a deputy commissioner of the state Department of Agriculture and Markets, noted that farms routinely test for diseases such as avian influenza. In New York City, "we were able to get in, quarantine the market, shut it down, get it cleaned up." It's not unexpected that bird flu has ramped up across the nation over the past few months, said Kevin Hynes, the wildlife health program leader for the state Department of Environmental Conservation. Colder weather favors the transmission of the virus, much like it does for human influenza. This is also the time of year when migratory waterfowl are moving through New York. With the country having lost half of its wetlands over the past 20 years, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, migrating birds have less secluded places to land and end up resting closer to poultry farms and commercial flocks. Waterfowl can be infected but not get sick, Hynes said. "They're flying around infected; they're shedding the virus through their saliva and their feces, and it goes into the water," he said. "Other birds are exposed to it that way, either other wild birds or domestic poultry that might be in your backyard or at a free-range poultry operation." The disease's relatively low impact on local commercial poultry can be credited to the departments of Environmental Conservation, Agriculture and Health working together, said Wolters. There has been concern at the national level after the Trump administration fired officials who were working on bird flu and accusations that research about the disease has been withheld by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but Wolters said her contact with federal agencies has been smooth. "We haven't seen any changes to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's response," she said. "To date, all the information on the detections continues to be posted on its website. It's the same with the genetic sequencing" the agency has been sharing with researchers. As of Feb. 20, there have been no confirmed human cases of bird flu in New York, nor have any dairy cows been affected. There has been only one confirmed death, in Louisiana, and many people infected have responded well to antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu. The symptoms of avian influenza are similar to those of seasonal influenza, although many people infected with avian influenza also get pink eye. Another reason for cautious optimism: Although H5N1 has been detected in New York state in mammals such as bobcats, racoons, foxes and possums, it hasn't been detected in pigs. That's significant because pigs are genetically similar to humans, said Hynes. "Pigs can be infected with human seasonal influenza viruses," he said. "If they're already infected with that, and they get a new infection at the same time of avian influenza, that could change the viruses' genetic material, and you could end up with a new strain that could potentially be very virulent to people and spread to people in an airborne fashion." As of now, avian influenza has not spread person-to-person. But every time ...

Jeanne Lenzer is an award-winning independent medical investigative journalist and author whose hard-hitting investigations and analyses have appeared in medical journals, such as The BMJ and the Journal of Family Practice, and in outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, the Atlantic, Washington Monthly, Newsweek Japan, Mother Jones, and Discover. Her first book, The Danger Within Us: America's Untested, Unregulated Medical Device Industry and One Man's Battle to Survive It, explores themes that have been at the heart of Lenzer's work over the past three decades: the intersection of money and medicine and how profiteering distorts medical science and undermines the public health, often by gaming or misrepresenting research to obtain a desired outcome. The book served as a basis for the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists' award-winning Implant Files project on medical devices and for the Netflix show, Bleeding Edge . It was used by John Oliver for his segment on medical devices as well as by the television show, The Resident for segments on the vagus nerve stimulator. It was favorably reviewed by Jerome Groopman in The New Yorker.  Her investigations have revealed hidden financial ties between industry and public institutions, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. In each instance, she documented flawed scientific recommendations that serve to protect profits over public health. Examples include the CDC's recommendation for oseltamivir (Roche, Tamiflu), a campaign that was paid for by Roche; and the FDA's approval of drugs over the (sometimes unanimous) recommendations of their own scientists - after being contacted by politicians beholden to manufacturers. http://www.jeannelenzer.com/

Our new group will be (in alphabetical order): Ahamed El Azzih Mohamad, Basiru Omisore, Kenechukwu Nweke, Mariano Rubio, Nariman Almnini, Patrick De Luna, Sheila Toro, and Syed Hasan. We welcome all of you. We hope you can enjoy 3 enriching and fulfilling years. During this episode, you will hear a conversation between Dr. Arreaza and Dr. Song. Some elements of the case have been modified or omitted to protect the patient's confidentiality. 1. Introduction to the case: Headache. A 40-year-old male with no significant PMH presents to the ED in a local hospital due to over a month history of headaches. Per the patient, headaches usually start from the bilateral temporal side as a tingling sensation, and it goes to the frontal part of the head and then moves up to the top of the head. 8 out of 10 severities were the worst. Pt reports sometimes hypersensitivity to outdoor sunlight but not indoor light. OTC ibuprofen was helpful for the headache, but the headache always came back after a few hours. The patient states that if he gets up too quickly, he feels slightly dizzy sometimes, but it is only for a short period of time. There was only one episode of double vision lasting a few seconds about 2 weeks ago but otherwise, the patient denies any other neurological symptom. He does not know the cause of the headache and denies any similar history of headaches in the past. The patient denies any vomiting, chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, abdominal pain, or joint pain. The patient further denies any recent traveling or sick contact. He does not take any chronic medication. The patient denies any previous surgical history. He does not smoke, drink, or use illicit drugs. What are your differential diagnoses at this moment? Primary care: Tension headache, migraines, chronic sinusitis, and more.2. Continuation of the case: Fever and immigrant.Upon further inquiries, the patient endorses frequent “low-grade fever” but he did not check his temperature. He denies any significant fatigue, night sweats, or weight loss. He migrated from Bolivia to the U.S. 12 years ago and has been working as a farm worker in California for the past 10 years. He is married. His wife and daughter are at home in Bolivia. He is currently living with friends. He is not sexually active at this moment and denies having any sexual partners. Differential diagnoses at this moment?  Tension headache, migraine, infections, autoimmune disease, neurocysticercosis. 3. Continuation of the case: Antibiotics and eosinophilia. As we kept asking for more information, the patient remembered he visited a clinic about four months ago for a dry cough and was told he had bronchitis and was given antibiotics and the cough got better after that. He went to another local hospital ED one month after that because the cough came back, now with occasional phlegm and at that time he also noticed two “bumps” on his face but nothing significant. After a CXR at the ED, the patient was diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia and sent home with cough medication and another course of antibiotics. His cough improved after the second round of antibiotics. We later found on the medical record that the CXR showed “mild coarse perihilar interstitial infiltrates of unknown acuity”. His blood works at the ED showed WBC 15.2, with lymphocyte 21.2%, monocyte 10.1%, neutrophil 61.7%, eosinophil 5.9% (normally 1-4%), normal kidney, liver functions, and electrolytes, and prescribed with benzonatate 100mg TID and doxycycline 100mg bid for 10 days. He went to the same ED one month before he saw us for headache and fever (we reviewed his EMR, and temp was 99.8F at the ED). After normal CBC, CMP and chest x-ray. The patient was diagnosed with a viral illness and discharged home with ibuprofen 400mg q8h.Due to the ongoing symptoms of headache and fever, the patient went back to the same clinic he went to four months ago for a dry cough and requested a complete physical and blood work. The patient was told he had a viral condition and was sent home with oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) for five days. However, the provider did order some blood work for him. Differential diagnoses at this moment?  Patients with subacute meningitis typically have an unrelenting headache, stiff neck, low-grade fever, and lethargy for days to several weeks before they present for evaluation. Cranial nerve abnormalities and night sweats may be present. Common causative organisms include M. tuberculosis, C. neoformans, H. capsulatum, C. immitis, and T. pallidum. At his physical exam visit, the patient actually asked the provider specifically to check him for coccidiomycosis because of his job as a farm worker and he heard from his friends that the infection rate is pretty high in the Central Valley of California. His serum cocci serology panel showed positive IGG and IGM with CF titer of 1:128. His HIV, syphilis, HCV, HBV are all negative. The patient was told by that clinic to come to ED due to his history of headache, fever, and very high serum coccidiomycosis titer.  The senior and resident intern were on the night shift that night and we were contacted by the ED provider at around 9:30 pm for this patient. When reviewing his ED record, his vitals were totally normal at the ED, the preliminary ED non-contrast head CT showed no acute intracranial abnormality. A lumbar puncture was performed by the ED provider, which showed WBCs (505 - 71%N, 20%L, 7%M), RBC (1), glucose (19), and protein (200). CSF: High Leukocytes, low glucose, and high protein.On the physical exam, the patient was pleasant and cooperative, he was A&O x 4, he had a normal examination except for two brown healing small nodules on his forehead and left cheek and slight neck stiffness. At that point, we knew the patient most likely had fungal meningitis by cocci except for the predominant WBC in his CSF fluid was neutrophil not the more typical picture of lymphocyte dominant. And because of his very benign presentation and subacute history, we were not 100% sure if we had a strong reason to admit this patient. We thought this patient could be managed as an outpatient with oral fluconazole and referred to infectious disease and neurology. 4. Continuation of case: Admission to the hospital.Looking back, one thing that was overlooked while checking this patient in the ED was the LP opening pressure. Later, the open pressure was reported as 340mm H2O (very high). The good thing was, after speaking to the ED attending and our attending, the patient was admitted to the hospital and started on oral fluconazole.  Three hours after the admission, a rapid response was called on him. While the floor nurses were doing their check-in physical examination, the patient had a 5-minute episode of seizure-like activity which included bilateral tonic arm/hand movements, eye deviation to the left, LOC unresponsive to sternal rub, and the patient desaturated to 77%. He eventually regained consciousness after the seizure and pulse oximetry increased to 100% on room air. The patient was started on Keppra and seen by a neurologist the following day. His 12-hour EEG was normal, but his head MRI showed “diffuse thickening and nodularity of the basal meninges are seen demonstrating enhancement, suggesting chronic meningitis, possibly related to cocci. Other etiologies including sarcoidosis and TB meningitis and/or infiltration by metastatic process/lymphoma are not excluded. The ventricles are slightly prominent in size”. MRI of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spines also showed extensive diffuse leptomeningeal thickening, extensive meningitis, and nodular dural thickening. Also, his chest x-ray showed “some heterogeneity and remodeling of the distal half of the left clavicle. Metabolic bone disease, infectious etiology and/old trauma considered”. This could also be due to disseminated cocci infection. The infectious disease doctor saw this patient and recommended continuing with fluconazole, serial LPs until opening pressure is less than 250 mmH2O and neurosurgery consultation for possible VP shunt placement. The neurologist recommended the patient continue with Keppra indefinitely in the context of structural brain damage secondary to cocci meningitis.Take home points: Suspect cocci meningitis in patients with subacute headache associated with respiratory symptoms, new skin lesions, photophobia, neck stiffness, nausea, vomiting, eosinophilia, erythema nodosum (painful nodules on the anterior aspect of legs). Other symptoms to look for include arthralgias, particularly of the ankles, knees, and wrists.____________________Brief summary of coccidiomycosis. Etiology Coccidioidomycosis, commonly known as Valley fever, is caused by dimorphic soil-dwelling fungi of the genus Coccidioides (C. immitis and C. posadasii). They are indistinguishable in clinical presentation and routine laboratory test results.1, 2, 3, 5Epidemiology In the United States, endemic areas include the southern portion of the San Joaquin Valley of California and the south-central region of Arizona. However, infection may be acquired in other areas of the southwestern United States, including the southern coastal counties in California, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah, southern New Mexico, and western Texas (including the Rio Grande Valley). There are also cases in eastern Washington state and in northeastern Utah. Outside the United States, coccidioidomycosis is endemic to northern Mexico as well as to localized regions of Central and South America.1, 2Overall, the incidence within the United States increased substantially over the 1998-2019, most of that increase occurred in south-central Arizona and in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California. From 1998 to2019, reported cases in California increased from 719 to 9004.1, 6The risk of infection is increased by direct exposure to soil harboring Coccidioides. Past outbreaks have occurred in military trainees, archaeologists, construction or agricultural workers, people exposed to earthquakes or dust storms. However, in endemic areas, many cases of Coccidioides infection occur without obvious soil or dust exposure and are not associated with outbreaks. Change in population, climate change, urbanization and construction activities, and increased awareness and reporting, are possible contributing factors.1, 2, 5 Pathology In the soil, Coccidioides organisms exist as filamentous molds. Small structures called arthroconidia from the hyphae may become airborne for extended periods. Arthroconidia are usually 3-5 μm—small enough to evade bronchial tree mucosal mechanical defenses and reach deep into the lungs.1, 3Once inhaled by a susceptible host into the lung, the arthroconidia develop into spherules (theparasitic existence in a host), which are unique to Coccidioides. Endospores from ruptured spherules can themselves develop into spherules, thus propagating infection locally.1, 3, 5Although rare cases of solid organ donor-derived or fomite transmitted infections have been reported, coccidioidomycosis does not occur in person-to-person or zoonotic contagion, and transplacental infection in humans has never been documented.2, 5Cellular immunity plays a crucial role in the host's control of coccidioidomycosis. Among individuals with decreased cellular immunity, Coccidioides may spread locally or hematogenously after an initial symptomatic or asymptomatic pulmonary infection to extrathoracic organs.1, 3, 7Clinical manifestationThe majority of infected individuals (about 60%) are completely asymptomatic. Symptomatic persons (40% of cases) have symptoms that are related principally to pulmonary infection, including cough, dyspnea, and pleuritic chest pain. Some patients may also experience fever, headache (common finding in early-stage infection and does not represent meningitis), fatigue, night sweats, rash, myalgia.1, 2, 3, 5In most patients, primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis usually resolves in weeks without sequelae and lifelong immunity to reinfection. However, some patients may develop chronic pulmonary complications, such as nodules or pulmonary cavities, or chronic fibrocavitary pneumonia. Some individuals with intense environmental exposure or profoundly suppressed cellular immunity (e.g., in patients with AIDS) may develop a primary pneumonia with diffuse reticulonodular pulmonary process in association with dyspnea and fever.1, 3, 5Fewer than 1% of infected individuals develop extrathoracic disseminated coccidioidal infection. Common sites for dissemination include joints and bones, skin and soft tissues, and meninges. One site or multiple anatomic foci may be affected. 1, 2, 3, 7It is estimated that coccidioidal meningitis, the most lethal complication of coccidioidomycosis, affects only 0.1% of all exposed individuals. Patients with coccidioidal meningitis usually present with a persistent headache (rather than a self-limited headache in some patients with primary pulmonary infection), with nausea and vomiting, and sometimes vision change. Some may also develop altered mental status and confusion. Meningismus such as nuchal rigidity, if present, is not severe.Hydrocephalus and cerebral infarction may develop in some cases. Papilledema is more commonly observed in pediatric patients.1, 3, 4, 5, 7When meningitis develops, most patients may not have any respiratory symptoms nor radiographic manifestation of pulmonary infection. However, a large number of these individuals also present with other extrathoracic lesions.7DiagnosisAlthough early diagnosis carries obvious benefits for patients and the health care systems as a whole (e.g., decreases patient anxiety, reduces the cost of expensive and invasive tests, removes the temptation for empirical antibacterial or antiviral treatments, and allows for early detection of complications), considerable diagnostic delays up to several weeks to months are common in both endemic areas and non-endemic areas.3, 7 Most symptomatic persons with coccidioidal infection present with primarily pulmonary symptoms and are often misdiagnosed as community-acquired bacterial pneumonia and treated with antibiotics. In endemic areas like south-central Arizona, previous studies found up to 29% of community-acquired pneumonia is caused by coccidioidomycosis. Healthcare providers thus should maintain a high clinical suspicion for coccidioidomycosis when evaluating persons with pneumonia who live in or have traveled to endemic areas recently. Elevated peripheral-blood eosinophilia of over 5%, hilar or mediastinal adenopathy on chest radiography, marked fatigue, and failure to improve with antibiotic therapy should prompt suspicion and testing for infection with coccidioidomycosis in endemic areas.1, 3, 5Serological testing plays an important role in establishing a diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis. Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to detect IgM and IgG antibodies is highly sensitive and therefore commonly used as the screening tool. Immunodiffusion is more specific but less sensitive than enzyme immunoassay. It is used to confirm the diagnosis of positive EIA test results. Complement fixing (CF) test, which indirectly detects the presence of coccidioidal antibodies by testing the consumption of serum complement, are expressed as titers. Serial measurements of titers are of not only diagnostic but also prognostic value.1, 2, 3, 5Other methods, including culture, microscopic, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) exam on tissue or respiratory specimens, are limited by their availability, sample obtaining and handling, or lack of sufficient evaluation.1, 2, 3, 5Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination in coccidioidal meningitis usually demonstrates lymphocyte dominated elevation of leukocytes, although polymorphonuclear leukocyte dominance can also be seen in the early stage of the infection. Profound hypoglycorrhachia and elevated protein levels in CSF examination are also very common in coccidioidal meningitis.1, 7Although isolating Coccidioides from CSF or other CNS specimens are diagnostic for coccidioidal meningitis, in practice, diagnoses are often made based on the combination of clinical presentation, CSF examination that suggesting fungal infection, and positive Coccidioides antibodies found in CSF.7Imaging, especially enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can help in diagnosing coccidioidal meningitis. Basilar leptomeningeal enhancement is a more common finding even though hydrocephalus, cerebral infarction, and vertebral artery aneurysm can also be seen.7TreatmentMost patients with focal primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis do not require antifungal therapy. According to 2016 Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) Clinical Practice Guideline, antifungal therapy should be considered in patients with concurrent immunosuppression that adversely affect cellular immunity (e.g., organ transplant patients, AIDS in HIV-infected patients, and patients receiving anti–tumor necrosis factor therapy) and those with significantly debilitating illness, extensive pulmonary involvement, with concurrent diabetes, pregnant women, or who are otherwise frail because of age or comorbidities. Some experts would also include African or Filipino ancestry as indications for treatment. Conversely, humoral immunity comprise splenectomy, hypocomplementemia, or neutrophil dysfunction syndromes are not major risk factors for this disease.1, 2, 3, 4, 5Triazole antifungals (fluconazole or itraconazole) are currently considered as the first-line medications used to treat most cases of coccidioidomycosis. Amphotericin B is reserved for only the most severe cases of dissemination and patients with coccidioidal meningitis in whom triazole antifungal therapy has failed. It is also the choice of therapy for coccidioidomycosis in pregnant women during the first trimester because of the possible teratogenic effect of high-dose triazole therapy during this period of time.1, 3, 4, 5Treating coccidioidal meningitis (CM) poses a special challenge because untreated meningitis is nearly always fatal. Lifelong therapy is recommended for CM because the majority 80% patients with CM experience relapse when therapy is stopped despite initial response to antifungal treatment. Shunting of CSF is required in cases of meningitis complicated by hydrocephalus.1, 3, 4, 5, 7Prevention Avoidance of direct contact with contaminated soil in endemic areas (e.g., respirator use by construction workers) may reduce disease risk, although clear evidence of its benefit is lacking.1, 5Some special population groups may benefit from prophylactic use of antifungals, such as those about to undergo allogeneic solid-organ transplantation or patients with a history of active coccidioidomycosis or a positive coccidioidal serology in whom therapy with tumor necrosis factor α antagonists is being initiated. The administration of prophylactic antifungals is not recommended for HIV-1-infected patients even if they live in an endemic region.1, 5Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 164, “More than just a headache.” Dr. Song explained that a headache with an indolent course, accompanied by subacute respiratory symptoms, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, neck stiffness, and skin lesions can be secondary to Valley Fever. The Central Valley of California, as well as other areas with dry climate, are endemic and we need to keep this disease in our differential diagnosis.This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Zheng (David) Song.

We wanted to give you a little Lagniappe as we say in South Louisiana so while Kiran is beating the pavement getting you details on some breaking news, Daniel Brown and Katherine Read got the details on what seems like the worst flu season in a while and they sought out an expert!Dr. Ruben Patel, the founder of Patient Plus, joined Daniel and Katherine to shed light on the reasons behind the harsh flu season. Factors such as the absence of outstanding previous flu seasons, potential and vaccine fatigue seem to be leading to reduced vaccination rates, and increased socialization all contributed to the heightened prevalence of the flu according to Dr. Patel. Dr. Patel emphasized the importance of getting vaccinated and debunked common myths, such as getting the flu from the vaccine itself. "Although the effectiveness of this year's vaccine is yet to be determined, it can significantly reduce the impact of the flu, especially for individuals with underlying health conditions" he said.He is seeing an increase in both flu A and flu B cases this year. Symptoms of this year's flu variant include fever, chills, fatigue, malaise, runny nose, and headache. Children are being heavily impacted by the flu due to their less developed immune systems and increased exposure to other children. Dr. Patel recommends to get the flu vaccine in October, although it's never too late to get it. The flu season is expected to continue into January and possibly beyond.As we approach the holidays and Mardi Gras, we discuss staying healthy and preventing the spread of viruses. Dr. Patel say's It's essential to wash hands, cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing, and stay home if you're sick. Rest, fluids, and staying home are the best remedies for the flu, and antiviral medications like Tamiflu can help if taken within 48-72 hours of symptoms. He also recommends avoiding what he stated is "over-prescribing antibiotics" for viral illnesses like colds and sinus infections to prevent antibiotic resistance. Pneumonia can be bacterial and can be diagnosed through symptoms and an x-ray.We also discuss the spread of RSV, a common virus in young children, and its varying symptoms' severity. Dr. Patel noted that it is important to seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen, especially if there is a fever or unexplained illness. Precautions such as washing hands, rest, and staying away from gatherings when feeling sick can help prevent the spread of illnesses. Especially when attending super-spreading events like Mardi Gras.Dr. Patel also stated the importantace of having essential medications in your medicine cabinet, such as ibuprofen, Tylenol, anti-allergy medicine, decongestants, and cough medication, but to always consult with your doctor for specific needs.Let's hope this flu season ends soon, especially with Mardi Gras season approaching.

UTP273b Un Tratado de Pandemias para someterlos a todos

Buscadores de la verdad

Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo directo que volvemos a realizar en Twitter dada la buena experiencia del último Spaces que realizamos. Ya saben que somos Buscadores de la Verdad y que yo soy “un técnico preocupado” y que me pueden encontrar en Twitter, en mi blog y en Ivoox. En esta ocasión vamos a hablar de salud global, bueno, más bien de todo lo contrario, de como fomentar la enfermedad a nivel mundial. Y para ello debemos hablar de la OMS, esa gigantesca maquinaria que, como decía Alfredo Embid que en paz descanse, es la encargada de impedir que la salud se imponga a la enfermedad. En una entrevista del 2009 decía así: “La medicina se ha convertido en una industria. Eso es algo que me parece incuestionable, es ya del dominio público. Como toda industria, el objetivo es tener beneficios, aumentar los beneficios. Si la gente está cada vez más sana, los beneficios disminuyen. Si la gente está cada vez más enferma, o la OMS les hace creer que están más enfermos, los beneficios aumentan. Es así, es fácil. Las 10 principales multinacionales farmacéuticas tienen el 50% del mercado, es una situación de monopolio prácticamente. Una propuesta evidente teniendo en cuenta que esas multinacionales y esa industria médica trabaja por su propia naturaleza en contra de la salud. La OMS está absolutamente controlada por la industria médica. La OMS tiene un presupuesto similar al de un gran hospital, es decir, nada. La mayor parte de su financiación es lo que se llama externa. Es decir, viene de la industria. Hasta un niño sabe que quien paga manda. Pero quizá la prueba más clara del sometimiento de la OMS a la industria es que no solamente se somete a la industria farmacéutica, lobbies industriales, a complejos industriales que están por encima de la industria médica. El ejemplo más claro, lo tienen ustedes en un acuerdo que en 1957 firmó la OMS, la Organización Mundial de la Salud, con la agencia internacional de energía atómica, recuerdo que ambas son agencias de la ONU, en este acuerdo la Organización Mundial de la Salud no puede ni hacer declaraciones en materia de contaminación radioactiva, ni hacer publicaciones en materia de contaminación radioactiva, ni emprender investigaciones en materia de contaminación radioactiva. Por ejemplo, en el caso de la contaminación de la central de Chernobyl, han minimizado los efectos, no han prendido estudios serios, por ejemplo, sobre el daño genético, y han prendido estudios ridiculos sobre las caries, ¡que demonios importan, las caries, cuando estamos hablando de daño de la herencia transmisible a las generaciones futuras! En cuanto a lo de las vacunas, bueno, es un gran negocio. Es un negocio poder vender por ley, algo y hacerlo consumir prácticamente obligatoriamente a todo el mundo. Es un negocio brutal. Y es un fraude brutal. Tenemos el último ejemplo de la gripe del cerdo, mal llamada gripe A. Es el último escándalo. Donde incluso, Rusia ha amenazado con salirse de la OMS después de ese escándalo. O sea, no ha habido ningún peligro sanitario. La OMS, además, ha cambiado la definición de pandemia unos meses antes para poder decir que había una pandemia. Hemos publicado montones de artículos sobre esto, no solamente nuestros, sino de otros, otra gente. Y claramente se ha ido a vender una vacuna peligrosa e inefectiva.” Pues eso es la OMS, el policia mundial que pretende que estemos más sanos mientras permite la inoculación de vacunas experimentales como estas del covid o con productos esterilizantes, realizando campañas de esterilización masiva, donde a la mujer que se esteriliza le dan una gallina en México o un transistor en la India. En un impresionante y ya desaparecido articulo titulado “La Organización Mundial de la Salud y su peculiar historia con las vacunas destinadas a reducir la fertilidad”, el dr Josef Mercola nos explicaba la historia de como la OMS comenzó a trabajar en una vacuna contra la fertilidad, dirigida por el Dr. GP Talwar en Nueva Delhi, India, en la década de 1970. Los investigadores de la OMS habían combinado o unido, la gonadotropina coriónica humana (hCG) en el toxoide tetánico, utilizado en la vacuna contra el tétanos. Como resultado, cuando se le administra a una mujer, ésta desarrolla anticuerpos contra el tétanos y la hCG. La HCG es una hormona producida por las células que rodean al embrión en crecimiento. Estas células productoras de hormonas protegen y apoyan el crecimiento embrionario y eventualmente forman la placenta. Al combinar hCG con toxoide tetánico, hace que esta hormona crucial del embarazo sea atacada y destruida por su sistema inmunológico, ya que ahora se la percibe erróneamente como un patógeno invasor. Dado que la hCG se destruye, la progesterona nunca se produce y, por lo tanto, no se puede mantener el embarazo. En 1995, la Liga de Mujeres Católicas de Filipinas ganó una orden judicial que detuvo un programa contra el tétanos de UNICEF que usaba vacuna contra el tétanos mezclada con hCG. Tres millones de mujeres entre 12 y 45 años ya habían sido vacunadas para ese momento. Se han encontrado vacunas anti-hCG en India, Bangladesh, Pakistán, Nigeria, México, Indonesia, Brasil, Filipinas, Tailandia, Egipto, Turquía, Etiopía. y Colombia. También en 1995, el gobierno de Kenia lanzó una campaña contra el tétanos de la OMS con el pretexto de erradicar el tétanos neonatal. Una investigación encontró que la vacuna administrada a niñas y mujeres, de 15 a 49 años, contenía hCG, y la evidencia sugiere que se trataba de una agenda de control de población intencional. Pues esa es la OMS, preocupada más por la enfermedad y el control poblacional que por la salud. Una OMS que como digo quiere imponerse como policía, juez y parte en caso de que haya una nueva pandemia real o inventada por ellos mismos. Para imponerse como el policía global necesita modificar el Reglamento Sanitario Internacional, conocido como RSI 2005, por el año de su revisión más reciente. Van a cambiar curiosamente 33 de sus 66 artículos y añadir algunos nuevos, concretamente 6. Sí, nos metieron un 666 por la cara. A su vez realizarán la Constitución de un Tratado de Pandemias vinculante con la OMS. “El Reglamento Sanitario Internacional es un instrumento internacional jurídicamente vinculante al que se han comprometido 196 Estados Partes, incluidos los 194 Estados Miembros de la OMS. La finalidad del RSI es prevenir la propagación internacional de enfermedades, proteger contra esa propagación, controlarla y darle una respuesta de salud pública restringida a los riesgos para la salud pública, evitando al mismo tiempo las interferencias innecesarias con el tráfico y el comercio internacionales.” Durante una reunión extraordinaria de la Asamblea de la Salud que tuvo lugar en diciembre de 2021, los gobiernos acordaron redactar y negociar un convenio, acuerdo u otro instrumento internacional, en el marco de la Constitución de la OMS, para fortalecer la prevención, preparación y respuesta frente a las pandemias. Estas negociaciones están en curso, dirigidas por el Órgano de Negociación Intergubernamental, y está previsto presentar un proyecto de acuerdo a la 77 Asamblea Mundial de la Salud en mayo de 2024. Un nuevo acuerdo podría incluir una disposición sobre su relación con otros instrumentos internacionales, aclarando, entre otras cosas, su complementariedad con el RSI. La Dra. Leslyn Lewis de Canadá preguntó a la OMS por la inclusión del cambio climático en el Tratado de Pandemias y esto fue lo que le contestaron: “Considerar "Establecer acuerdos de gobernanza apropiados o mejorar los sistemas existentes para abordar y apoyar la prevención, preparación y respuesta ante pandemias y otras emergencias sanitarias, enraizados en la Constitución de la OMS". Aunque reconocemos que el enfoque inicial y principal del trabajo se centrará en las enfermedades infecciosas, el nuevo instrumento debería ser inclusivo y estar definido por un enfoque que abarque todos los riesgos, en consonancia con el RSI. (El Reglamento Sanitario Internacional (RSI) (2005) es un instrumento jurídico de carácter vinculante para todos los Estados Miembros de la OMS.) Existen otras amenazas para la salud mundial que se están gestando en la actualidad y/o que podrían dar lugar a una emergencia sanitaria mundial, por ejemplo, los efectos del cambio climático, la contaminación atmosférica, la contaminación química (en la cadena de suministro mundial), que podrían quedar fuera del ámbito de un instrumento con un enfoque demasiado limitado (por ejemplo, las enfermedades infecciosas).” Otra doctora, Astrid Stuckelberger - epidemióloga ex OMS nos cuenta: “Se reunieron del 28 de noviembre al 1 de diciembre de 2021 para celebrar la 75ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud extraordinaria. Así que todos los países se reúnen en una Asamblea Mundial de la Salud, en Ginebra, Suiza, en mayo. Pero esta vez se reunieron seis meses antes, en lo que fue la segunda asamblea extraordinaria, la segunda en la historia de la OMS. Y en esa reunión, de repente, sale “una guía para un Tratado de Pandemias” que trata sobre las cosas que debes saber para ayudarles a tomar una decisión sobre el tratado pandémico. Y votaron, y nadie sabe que han votado para aceptar no el tratado, sino el procedimiento para iniciar y finalizar un tratado pandémico o instrumento internacional. Así que no se trata sólo de un tratado, puede ser cualquier cosa porque son muy astutos. Van a tomar el instrumento que sea más rápido de adoptar. Y el documento que se adoptará más rápido es el reglamento sanitario internacional de salud. No se votó, se adoptó, no sé firmó, se adoptó. La primera pregunta es: ¿por qué la OMS es la única agencia de la ONU que tiene una constitución? Y en mi opinión, es una hipótesis, pero parece muy probable, es que como cada gobierno tiene una constitución, el instrumento más probable para asegurarse de que usted puede sustituir y hacerse cargo del mundo y todas las constituciones es tener una constitución de la OMS. Y eso es lo que está pasando. Tenemos que liberarnos de las Naciones Unidas. Era un sistema bonito, yo realmente creía en él, pero ahora ha sido ocupado a propósito, intencionalmente.” Estamos hablando de tomar el control mundial a través de la imposición de medidas totalitarias tal y como nos explica la Dra Meryl Nass: “Estamos sufriendo un golpe suave y la idea es crear un conjunto de leyes completamente nuevo e ignorar las leyes de derechos humanos existentes y otras leyes con el pretexto de la preparación para una pandemia y la agenda de bioseguridad. La OMS está desarrollando en todas sus naciones, pero con la dirección de la OMS en los Estados Unidos a cargo, un tratado pandémico y enmiendas a las regulaciones sanitarias internacionales existentes que eliminarán las protecciones de derechos humanos actualmente incorporadas en el RSI e impondrán la censura y la vigilancia. Deshacerse de la libertad de expresión, exigir a los gobiernos que censuren e impulsar solo una narrativa única. Además, estaremos sujetos si logran que esto funcione, a vacunas desarrolladas en 100 días lo que la organización CEPI tiene previsto hacer. (La CEPI son las siglas de Coalición para la Innovación en la Preparación ante Epidemias) Y una de las personas que fundó CEPI fue Jeremy Farrar, quien ahora es el científico jefe de la OMS para sacar esto adelante. Otras cosas que hacen las enmiendas es vincular al Estado para que ya no tengan recomendaciones si no edictos ejecutables. Si se proporciona un escudo de responsabilidad, se eliminan los derechos de propiedad intelectual, se trasladan suministros de un país a otro. Se hacen cumplir los pasaportes digitales, el director general de la OMS puede exigir que existe una pandemia o una pandemia potencial. Puede simplemente declararlos estándares y entonces los países de todo el mundo tendrán que obedecer. Además, la OMS te dirá que medicamentos puedes y no puedes usar en tu nación una vez declarada la pandemia. Evidentemente el presupuesto aumentará. “One Health” ,“Una Salud” es otra parte de esto. “One Health” es un concepto que se creó para permitir que la OMS, con estos documentos, asuma la jurisdicción de todo en el mundo diciendo que el cambio climático, los animales, las plantas, los sistemas hídricos y los ecosistemas son fundamentales para la salud. Además, en este concepto está implícita una noción peculiar de que los humanos ya no son más valiosos que los animales.” El Tratado sobre Pandemias propuesto ha recibido diversos nombres, pero se le conoce formalmente como “WHO CA+”, una abreviatura de “Acuerdo de la Convención de la OMS +”. La palabra “pandemia” no está incluida en el nombre del tratado. Y el signo “+” al final, podría indicar que es un tratado que cubre más que pandemias o salud. Y lo hace. Al incorporar el enfoque “Una Salud” en su texto, el tratado se convierte en una dictadura global que lo abarca todo sobre toda la vida y los sistemas que la sustentan. Recordemos que el signo + se utiliza para designar a los transhumanos, llamados humanos + Supuestamente quedan menos de cuatro meses para que lleguen a un acuerdo y cómo máximo una sesión plenaria para llegar a acuerdos. Es muy probable que necesiten el empujoncito de algún nuevo brote de la vieja gripe o del nuevo COVID para hacer que las duras negociaciones fructifiquen en una gobernanza mundial en el tema de la salud. Al parecer muchos de los países han cambiado poco en sus posiciones iniciales sobre disposiciones clave del texto, incluidos los derechos de propiedad intelectual, el intercambio de información sobre patógenos y la transferencia de tecnología. Y es que como decía Alfredo Embid al principio de la entradilla, quien paga manda. La industria farmacéutica se opone ferozmente a ceder a terceros su tecnologia, y el lobby farmacéutico internacional lo describe como un “enfoque transaccional” que es “más que probable que retrase el acceso a los patógenos y el desarrollo oportuno de contramedidas médicas en caso de una pandemia”. Así que posiblemente la avaricia de las farmacéuticas dé al traste con este Tratado de Pandemias ya que dichas multinacionales tienen en nómina a los políticos que tendrán que refrendar dicho acuerdo multilateral en sus respectivos parlamentos. Ojala sea asi. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Antes de hablar sobre el tratado en si y la forma opaca en que se esta negociando me gustaria hablar sobre dinero. En nuestro podcast titulado “UTP93 vacunas, la parte oscura” les mostraba cómo la empresa biotecnológica de reciente constitución Moderna había logrado 2.500 millones de dólares de financiación en los últimos 8 años. Si una empresa nueva, sin prácticamente mercado mueve esa cantidad de dinero, nos podemos imaginar el resto de ellas. En un artículo de la BBC titulado “Cómo las farmacéuticas ganan más que los bancos” nos mostraban como en 2013 el gigante estadounidense Pfizer, la compañía de drogas farmacéuticas más grande del mundo según sus ingresos, alcanzó un 42% de ganancias. No existe ningún negocio con ese margen de ganancias en ningún otro sector. En el artículo decían lo siguiente: “Con algunos remedios a más de US$100.000 por tratamiento completo, y cuyo costo apenas alcanza una mínima fracción de ésto, no es difícil darse cuenta del porqué». Supuestamente a las farmacéuticas les cuesta unos 1.000 millones de dólares el desarrollar un nuevo medicamento. La industria farmacéutica no afronta sola el coste de la investigación, ya que el sistema es mixto, con participación pública y privada. Pero una vez en el mercado si el medicamento tiene demanda los beneficios son enormes. Yo no he encontrado una fuente fiable para conocer las ganancias de toda la farmaindustria, pero es seguro que junto al sector bancario y al armamento es la industria que más beneficios genera. Si la OMS consigue salirse con la suya y nos impone a todos un Tratado de Pandemias a nivel mundial, el control de los medicamentos pasaría a sus manos. Eso significa ganar aún más dinero al crear la enfermedad el mismo que te dará el remedio, mediante pago, claro está. La OMS tiene un presupuesto de un 20% de origen público a través de los países que la financian y un 80% de origen privado. Esto significa que el control real de la OMS pasa por tanto a las manos privadas que le proporcionan esa enorme cantidad de dinero. Las dos empresas privadas que sobresalen por encima de todas son la Fundación Bill y Melinda Gates y GAVI, la Alianza para las Vacunas que también esta controlada por Gates. Resumiendo, Gates controla la OMS. Sí, es absolutamente maquiavélico y más conociendo los orígenes eugenésicos dentro de su propia familia. William Henry Gates II, padre del multimillonario magnate tecnológico Bill Gates, “trabajó en las juntas directivas de innumerables organizaciones, incluidas United Way y Planned Parenthood las clínicas de planificación familiar…o sea la mayor cadena global para abortar con más de 44.000 clínicas a nivel mundial. En un pedazo de articulo publicado en Corbett Report podemos leer: “Además, el actual Director General de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, es, de hecho, como el propio Bill Gates, no es un médico, sino el controvertido ex Ministro de Salud de Etiopía, acusado de encubrir tres brotes de cólera en el país durante su mandato. Antes de unirse a la OMS, se desempeñó como presidente del Fondo Mundial para la Lucha contra el SIDA, la Tuberculosis y la Malaria, fundado por Gates, y formó parte de la junta directiva de Gavi, la Alianza de Vacunas y la Alianza Stop TB, financiada por Gates.” Y es que el señor Gates ayudó a crear Gavi con una donación de mil millones de dólares en 2011, y contribuyó con cuatro mil cien millones más durante el «Decenio de las vacunas”. Para Gavi el dinero donado por el gobierno español es una mera propina, la cuestión es que parece que necesitaban un pueblo dócil desde donde empezar esta era del bozal y parece que han elegido España por la calidad y cantidad de sus borregos. El Dr GERMÁN VELÁSQUEZ ex directivo de la OMS se ha dejado la garganta contando como la OMS ya no emplea sus recursos en vigilar la salud mundial si no en garantizar que se cumplen los objetivos particulares de estas multinacionales. Recomiendo visionar el video que dejare en los enlaces donde este ex directivo es entrevistado en una radio en directo. Y le formulan esta pregunta: “Hay quienes piensan que el problema de estas contribuciones millonarias de la industria farmacéutica es que la OMS puede adoptar decisiones de salud pública que pueden acabar beneficiando a estas mismas compañías, ¿esto es una especulación? o ¿es una teoría cierta? «Es una teoría que es totalmente cierta, ha sucedido, y está sucediendo. Cuando un donante da dinero, por ejemplo, la industria farmacéutica, estos representantes solicitan estar presente en los comités de expertos de los diferentes programas [de la OMS]. Hay un conflicto de intereses grave. Sucedió con la epidemia H1N1, los posibles fabricantes de vacunas y de medicamentos, como el Tamiflú, estaban sentados en el comité que estaba decidiendo si se lanzaba una epidemia o no, evidentemente, [las farmacéuticas] empujaron a que se lanzará la epidemia y se diera una alarma global porque iban a tener un mercado impresionante”. Julián Alterini explicó divinamente el pelotazo del Tamiflu en su documental Operación Pandemia cuyo video podréis encontrar en la descripción del podcast en Ivoox. Eran otros tiempos y su video fue visualizado por millones de personas en Youtube. Hoy día obviamente habría sido censurado de inmediato, obviamente no queda ni rastro de aquel video en dicha plataforma. Acordémonos de que la marca norteamericana, Gilead Sciences creadora del Tamiflu, prosiguió deliberadamente los ensayos de su medicamento contra la hepatitis B, identificado como Sovaldi (Sofosbuvir), en violación de las normas internacionales y contra la voluntad de los pacientes. En diciembre de 2015 murieron 24 pacientes durante los ensayos realizados por el laboratorio de Gilead Sciences en Georgia. Recuerden que los medicamentos curan pero también matan…y que Donald Rumsfeld uno de los principales accionistas de Gilead fue el creador de la campaña de terror que nos vendió el Tamiflú, un medicamento que terminó intentando venderse de segunda mano a los africanos. Un medicamento que a dia de hoy se les esta administrando a nuestros ancianos. ………………………………………………………………………………………. El Reglamento Sanitario Internacional (RSI) de 2005 define una emergencia de salud pública de importancia internacional (en sus siglas en inglés PHEIC, que se pronuncia igual que la palabra FAKE) como "un acontecimiento extraordinario que se determina que constituye un riesgo para la salud pública de otros Estados debido a la propagación internacional de enfermedades y que puede requerir una intervención internacional coordinada”. No pueden decírnoslo más claro y a la cara. Es una broma, una burla, un engaño…un fake. Pero todo el mundo se lo traga. Otro tema increíble en todo este asunto es saber quienes son las dos personas que están negociando por parte de España y cómo es posible que no sean públicos sus nombres. La abogada Cristina Armas nos contó que ella es sabedora de esos nombres porque los pidió a través de un cuestionario en el portal de transparencia pero que al contestarle le advirtieron de que no compartiese públicamente dicha información. ¿Eso es transparencia u opacidad? ¿No hay nadie con pelotas en este pais para averiguar quién cojones nos esta representando ante la OMS para negociar este esperpento y ponerles la cara colorada? El borrador del Tratado contra la Pandemia incluye, por ejemplo, una sección sobre “comunicación y conciencia pública” que es esencialmente un intento de controlar la narrativa y un ataque a la libertad de expresión a nivel mundial. El artículo 18 del texto de la Oficina del CA+ de la OMS establece que los países que firmen el tratado sobre pandemias “fortalecerán... el acceso a la información sobre las pandemias y sus efectos y sus impulsores, combatirán la infodemia y abordarán la información falsa, engañosa, errónea o desinformada, e incluso mediante la promoción de la cooperación internacional”. Cuando la OMS anunció el resultado de la reunión del INB (siglas en ingles de Órgano Intergubernamental de Negociación) en abril , afirmó: “Al finalizar [el 6 de abril], las discusiones sobre el borrador del acuerdo pandémico [OMS CA+] tuvieron lugar durante la quinta reunión del Órgano Intergubernamental de Negociación ( INB), que incluye a los 194 miembros de la OMS. países." Pero 194 países no estuvieron presentes en la reunión del INB. Puede ver una grabación de vídeo de la reunión en el sitio web de la OMS en el artículo titulado “La OMS publica un borrador de Tratado sobre Pandemia con la COP para garantizar su implementación y cumplimiento” que compartiré en la descripción del podcast. “A las 13:24, poco después de que la copresidenta de la Mesa, la Sra. Matsoso, cantara una pequeña canción “Declaró suspendida esta reunión”, la cámara se aleja para que todos los asistentes estén a la vista. Así es, según la OMS, 194 países involucrados: En el artículo vemos la imagen de una mesa circular con unas cuantas personas pero no una reunión con casi 200 países representados. Según el acta, estuvieron presentes seis personas, seis miembros de la Oficina del INB, que no son todos funcionarios gubernamentales sino que “representan” las regiones de 194 países. Eso no es lo mismo que “incluir” 194 países. Los 194 países no asisten a las reuniones del INB ni participan en la aprobación de los textos del INB. Quienquiera que escriba los anuncios de la OMS es un maestro en tergiversar los hechos para que a usted y a mí se nos haga creer que 194 países están involucrados en el proceso. El anuncio de la OMS continúa diciendo que “paralelamente a las negociaciones del acuerdo sobre la pandemia, los gobiernos también están discutiendo más de 300 enmiendas al Reglamento Sanitario Internacional (2005) (RSI)”. Basándonos en su manipulación de la verdad al principio del anuncio, tenemos que preguntarnos: ¿a qué “gobiernos”, en particular, se refiere la OMS?” ………………………………………………………………………………………. Para terminar os quiero recordar que el consentimiento voluntario del sujeto humano es absolutamente esencial. Y que nunca jamás podrán hacer algo a la fuerza de manera legal, ellos retorcerán las leyes y los derechos humanos para intentar que nosotros aceptemos voluntariamente o nos resignemos pero nunca será legal. El código de Nuremberg firmado en 1947 tras el juicio del mismo nombre fijó unas normas éticas para la realización de investigaciones médicas con seres humanos. El primer artículo es demoledor: “El consentimiento voluntario del sujeto humano es absolutamente esencial.” Sin más, si tú no quieres no pueden experimentar contigo bajo ningún concepto. Por otra parte en la Declaración universal sobre Bioética y Derechos Humanos de 2005 se recoge el siguiente texto: Artículo 6 – Consentimiento 1. Toda intervención médica preventiva, diagnóstica y terapéutica sólo habrá de llevarse a cabo previo consentimiento libre e informado de la persona interesada, basado en la información adecuada. Cuando proceda, el consentimiento debería ser expreso y la persona interesada podrá revocarlo en todo momento y por cualquier motivo, sin que esto entrañe para ella desventaja o perjuicio alguno. Por eso es tan importante para ellos dejar atado el tema legal. Incluso el propio Gates reconoce los riesgos inherentes de vacunar masivamente frente al COVID19. Pero su preocupación no es por las vidas que serán alteradas irrevocablemente en el caso de que las vacunas causen daños a la población. Lo que más le preocupa es que las compañías farmacéuticas y los investigadores reciban inmunidad legal por cualquier daño. Bill Gates decía esto en una entrevista a la CNBC: “Sabes, si tenemos, ya sabes, uno de cada 10,000 efectos secundarios, eso es, ya sabes, mucho más, 700,000, ya sabes, personas que sufrirán de eso. Entonces comprender realmente la seguridad a escala gigantesca en todos los rangos de edad (ya sabes, embarazadas, hombres, mujeres, desnutridos, comorbilidades existentes) es muy, muy difícil. Y esa decisión real de «OK, vamos y administremos esta vacuna al mundo entero», ah, los gobiernos tendrán que involucrarse porque habrá algún riesgo e indemnización necesarios antes de que se pueda decidir.” Es absolutamente una locura dejar en manos de estos criminales nuestra salud. No queremos introducir un miedo innecesario en vuestras cabezas por saber esta información, al contrario, que todo esto salga a la luz hará que les sea imposible implantarlo a la fuerza. Han perdido pero todavía no lo saben. Cuiden de sus familias, no tengan miedo y sean lo más felices que puedan, el amor lo puede todo. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: ….

Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo directo que volvemos a realizar en Twitter dada la buena experiencia del último Spaces que realizamos. Ya saben que somos Buscadores de la Verdad y que yo soy “un técnico preocupado” y que me pueden encontrar en Twitter, en mi blog y en Ivoox. En esta ocasión vamos a hablar de salud global, bueno, más bien de todo lo contrario, de como fomentar la enfermedad a nivel mundial. Y para ello debemos hablar de la OMS, esa gigantesca maquinaria que, como decía Alfredo Embid que en paz descanse, es la encargada de impedir que la salud se imponga a la enfermedad. En una entrevista del 2009 decía así: “La medicina se ha convertido en una industria. Eso es algo que me parece incuestionable, es ya del dominio público. Como toda industria, el objetivo es tener beneficios, aumentar los beneficios. Si la gente está cada vez más sana, los beneficios disminuyen. Si la gente está cada vez más enferma, o la OMS les hace creer que están más enfermos, los beneficios aumentan. Es así, es fácil. Las 10 principales multinacionales farmacéuticas tienen el 50% del mercado, es una situación de monopolio prácticamente. Una propuesta evidente teniendo en cuenta que esas multinacionales y esa industria médica trabaja por su propia naturaleza en contra de la salud. La OMS está absolutamente controlada por la industria médica. La OMS tiene un presupuesto similar al de un gran hospital, es decir, nada. La mayor parte de su financiación es lo que se llama externa. Es decir, viene de la industria. Hasta un niño sabe que quien paga manda. Pero quizá la prueba más clara del sometimiento de la OMS a la industria es que no solamente se somete a la industria farmacéutica, lobbies industriales, a complejos industriales que están por encima de la industria médica. El ejemplo más claro, lo tienen ustedes en un acuerdo que en 1957 firmó la OMS, la Organización Mundial de la Salud, con la agencia internacional de energía atómica, recuerdo que ambas son agencias de la ONU, en este acuerdo la Organización Mundial de la Salud no puede ni hacer declaraciones en materia de contaminación radioactiva, ni hacer publicaciones en materia de contaminación radioactiva, ni emprender investigaciones en materia de contaminación radioactiva. Por ejemplo, en el caso de la contaminación de la central de Chernobyl, han minimizado los efectos, no han prendido estudios serios, por ejemplo, sobre el daño genético, y han prendido estudios ridiculos sobre las caries, ¡que demonios importan, las caries, cuando estamos hablando de daño de la herencia transmisible a las generaciones futuras! En cuanto a lo de las vacunas, bueno, es un gran negocio. Es un negocio poder vender por ley, algo y hacerlo consumir prácticamente obligatoriamente a todo el mundo. Es un negocio brutal. Y es un fraude brutal. Tenemos el último ejemplo de la gripe del cerdo, mal llamada gripe A. Es el último escándalo. Donde incluso, Rusia ha amenazado con salirse de la OMS después de ese escándalo. O sea, no ha habido ningún peligro sanitario. La OMS, además, ha cambiado la definición de pandemia unos meses antes para poder decir que había una pandemia. Hemos publicado montones de artículos sobre esto, no solamente nuestros, sino de otros, otra gente. Y claramente se ha ido a vender una vacuna peligrosa e inefectiva.” Pues eso es la OMS, el policia mundial que pretende que estemos más sanos mientras permite la inoculación de vacunas experimentales como estas del covid o con productos esterilizantes, realizando campañas de esterilización masiva, donde a la mujer que se esteriliza le dan una gallina en México o un transistor en la India. En un impresionante y ya desaparecido articulo titulado “La Organización Mundial de la Salud y su peculiar historia con las vacunas destinadas a reducir la fertilidad”, el dr Josef Mercola nos explicaba la historia de como la OMS comenzó a trabajar en una vacuna contra la fertilidad, dirigida por el Dr. GP Talwar en Nueva Delhi, India, en la década de 1970. Los investigadores de la OMS habían combinado o unido, la gonadotropina coriónica humana (hCG) en el toxoide tetánico, utilizado en la vacuna contra el tétanos. Como resultado, cuando se le administra a una mujer, ésta desarrolla anticuerpos contra el tétanos y la hCG. La HCG es una hormona producida por las células que rodean al embrión en crecimiento. Estas células productoras de hormonas protegen y apoyan el crecimiento embrionario y eventualmente forman la placenta. Al combinar hCG con toxoide tetánico, hace que esta hormona crucial del embarazo sea atacada y destruida por su sistema inmunológico, ya que ahora se la percibe erróneamente como un patógeno invasor. Dado que la hCG se destruye, la progesterona nunca se produce y, por lo tanto, no se puede mantener el embarazo. En 1995, la Liga de Mujeres Católicas de Filipinas ganó una orden judicial que detuvo un programa contra el tétanos de UNICEF que usaba vacuna contra el tétanos mezclada con hCG. Tres millones de mujeres entre 12 y 45 años ya habían sido vacunadas para ese momento. Se han encontrado vacunas anti-hCG en India, Bangladesh, Pakistán, Nigeria, México, Indonesia, Brasil, Filipinas, Tailandia, Egipto, Turquía, Etiopía. y Colombia. También en 1995, el gobierno de Kenia lanzó una campaña contra el tétanos de la OMS con el pretexto de erradicar el tétanos neonatal. Una investigación encontró que la vacuna administrada a niñas y mujeres, de 15 a 49 años, contenía hCG, y la evidencia sugiere que se trataba de una agenda de control de población intencional. Pues esa es la OMS, preocupada más por la enfermedad y el control poblacional que por la salud. Una OMS que como digo quiere imponerse como policía, juez y parte en caso de que haya una nueva pandemia real o inventada por ellos mismos. Para imponerse como el policía global necesita modificar el Reglamento Sanitario Internacional, conocido como RSI 2005, por el año de su revisión más reciente. Van a cambiar curiosamente 33 de sus 66 artículos y añadir algunos nuevos, concretamente 6. Sí, nos metieron un 666 por la cara. A su vez realizarán la Constitución de un Tratado de Pandemias vinculante con la OMS. “El Reglamento Sanitario Internacional es un instrumento internacional jurídicamente vinculante al que se han comprometido 196 Estados Partes, incluidos los 194 Estados Miembros de la OMS. La finalidad del RSI es prevenir la propagación internacional de enfermedades, proteger contra esa propagación, controlarla y darle una respuesta de salud pública restringida a los riesgos para la salud pública, evitando al mismo tiempo las interferencias innecesarias con el tráfico y el comercio internacionales.” Durante una reunión extraordinaria de la Asamblea de la Salud que tuvo lugar en diciembre de 2021, los gobiernos acordaron redactar y negociar un convenio, acuerdo u otro instrumento internacional, en el marco de la Constitución de la OMS, para fortalecer la prevención, preparación y respuesta frente a las pandemias. Estas negociaciones están en curso, dirigidas por el Órgano de Negociación Intergubernamental, y está previsto presentar un proyecto de acuerdo a la 77 Asamblea Mundial de la Salud en mayo de 2024. Un nuevo acuerdo podría incluir una disposición sobre su relación con otros instrumentos internacionales, aclarando, entre otras cosas, su complementariedad con el RSI. La Dra. Leslyn Lewis de Canadá preguntó a la OMS por la inclusión del cambio climático en el Tratado de Pandemias y esto fue lo que le contestaron: “Considerar "Establecer acuerdos de gobernanza apropiados o mejorar los sistemas existentes para abordar y apoyar la prevención, preparación y respuesta ante pandemias y otras emergencias sanitarias, enraizados en la Constitución de la OMS". Aunque reconocemos que el enfoque inicial y principal del trabajo se centrará en las enfermedades infecciosas, el nuevo instrumento debería ser inclusivo y estar definido por un enfoque que abarque todos los riesgos, en consonancia con el RSI. (El Reglamento Sanitario Internacional (RSI) (2005) es un instrumento jurídico de carácter vinculante para todos los Estados Miembros de la OMS.) Existen otras amenazas para la salud mundial que se están gestando en la actualidad y/o que podrían dar lugar a una emergencia sanitaria mundial, por ejemplo, los efectos del cambio climático, la contaminación atmosférica, la contaminación química (en la cadena de suministro mundial), que podrían quedar fuera del ámbito de un instrumento con un enfoque demasiado limitado (por ejemplo, las enfermedades infecciosas).” Otra doctora, Astrid Stuckelberger - epidemióloga ex OMS nos cuenta: “Se reunieron del 28 de noviembre al 1 de diciembre de 2021 para celebrar la 75ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud extraordinaria. Así que todos los países se reúnen en una Asamblea Mundial de la Salud, en Ginebra, Suiza, en mayo. Pero esta vez se reunieron seis meses antes, en lo que fue la segunda asamblea extraordinaria, la segunda en la historia de la OMS. Y en esa reunión, de repente, sale “una guía para un Tratado de Pandemias” que trata sobre las cosas que debes saber para ayudarles a tomar una decisión sobre el tratado pandémico. Y votaron, y nadie sabe que han votado para aceptar no el tratado, sino el procedimiento para iniciar y finalizar un tratado pandémico o instrumento internacional. Así que no se trata sólo de un tratado, puede ser cualquier cosa porque son muy astutos. Van a tomar el instrumento que sea más rápido de adoptar. Y el documento que se adoptará más rápido es el reglamento sanitario internacional de salud. No se votó, se adoptó, no sé firmó, se adoptó. La primera pregunta es: ¿por qué la OMS es la única agencia de la ONU que tiene una constitución? Y en mi opinión, es una hipótesis, pero parece muy probable, es que como cada gobierno tiene una constitución, el instrumento más probable para asegurarse de que usted puede sustituir y hacerse cargo del mundo y todas las constituciones es tener una constitución de la OMS. Y eso es lo que está pasando. Tenemos que liberarnos de las Naciones Unidas. Era un sistema bonito, yo realmente creía en él, pero ahora ha sido ocupado a propósito, intencionalmente.” Estamos hablando de tomar el control mundial a través de la imposición de medidas totalitarias tal y como nos explica la Dra Meryl Nass: “Estamos sufriendo un golpe suave y la idea es crear un conjunto de leyes completamente nuevo e ignorar las leyes de derechos humanos existentes y otras leyes con el pretexto de la preparación para una pandemia y la agenda de bioseguridad. La OMS está desarrollando en todas sus naciones, pero con la dirección de la OMS en los Estados Unidos a cargo, un tratado pandémico y enmiendas a las regulaciones sanitarias internacionales existentes que eliminarán las protecciones de derechos humanos actualmente incorporadas en el RSI e impondrán la censura y la vigilancia. Deshacerse de la libertad de expresión, exigir a los gobiernos que censuren e impulsar solo una narrativa única. Además, estaremos sujetos si logran que esto funcione, a vacunas desarrolladas en 100 días lo que la organización CEPI tiene previsto hacer. (La CEPI son las siglas de Coalición para la Innovación en la Preparación ante Epidemias) Y una de las personas que fundó CEPI fue Jeremy Farrar, quien ahora es el científico jefe de la OMS para sacar esto adelante. Otras cosas que hacen las enmiendas es vincular al Estado para que ya no tengan recomendaciones si no edictos ejecutables. Si se proporciona un escudo de responsabilidad, se eliminan los derechos de propiedad intelectual, se trasladan suministros de un país a otro. Se hacen cumplir los pasaportes digitales, el director general de la OMS puede exigir que existe una pandemia o una pandemia potencial. Puede simplemente declararlos estándares y entonces los países de todo el mundo tendrán que obedecer. Además, la OMS te dirá que medicamentos puedes y no puedes usar en tu nación una vez declarada la pandemia. Evidentemente el presupuesto aumentará. “One Health” ,“Una Salud” es otra parte de esto. “One Health” es un concepto que se creó para permitir que la OMS, con estos documentos, asuma la jurisdicción de todo en el mundo diciendo que el cambio climático, los animales, las plantas, los sistemas hídricos y los ecosistemas son fundamentales para la salud. Además, en este concepto está implícita una noción peculiar de que los humanos ya no son más valiosos que los animales.” El Tratado sobre Pandemias propuesto ha recibido diversos nombres, pero se le conoce formalmente como “WHO CA+”, una abreviatura de “Acuerdo de la Convención de la OMS +”. La palabra “pandemia” no está incluida en el nombre del tratado. Y el signo “+” al final, podría indicar que es un tratado que cubre más que pandemias o salud. Y lo hace. Al incorporar el enfoque “Una Salud” en su texto, el tratado se convierte en una dictadura global que lo abarca todo sobre toda la vida y los sistemas que la sustentan. Recordemos que el signo + se utiliza para designar a los transhumanos, llamados humanos + Supuestamente quedan menos de cuatro meses para que lleguen a un acuerdo y cómo máximo una sesión plenaria para llegar a acuerdos. Es muy probable que necesiten el empujoncito de algún nuevo brote de la vieja gripe o del nuevo COVID para hacer que las duras negociaciones fructifiquen en una gobernanza mundial en el tema de la salud. Al parecer muchos de los países han cambiado poco en sus posiciones iniciales sobre disposiciones clave del texto, incluidos los derechos de propiedad intelectual, el intercambio de información sobre patógenos y la transferencia de tecnología. Y es que como decía Alfredo Embid al principio de la entradilla, quien paga manda. La industria farmacéutica se opone ferozmente a ceder a terceros su tecnologia, y el lobby farmacéutico internacional lo describe como un “enfoque transaccional” que es “más que probable que retrase el acceso a los patógenos y el desarrollo oportuno de contramedidas médicas en caso de una pandemia”. Así que posiblemente la avaricia de las farmacéuticas dé al traste con este Tratado de Pandemias ya que dichas multinacionales tienen en nómina a los políticos que tendrán que refrendar dicho acuerdo multilateral en sus respectivos parlamentos. Ojala sea asi. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Antes de hablar sobre el tratado en si y la forma opaca en que se esta negociando me gustaria hablar sobre dinero. En nuestro podcast titulado “UTP93 vacunas, la parte oscura” les mostraba cómo la empresa biotecnológica de reciente constitución Moderna había logrado 2.500 millones de dólares de financiación en los últimos 8 años. Si una empresa nueva, sin prácticamente mercado mueve esa cantidad de dinero, nos podemos imaginar el resto de ellas. En un artículo de la BBC titulado “Cómo las farmacéuticas ganan más que los bancos” nos mostraban como en 2013 el gigante estadounidense Pfizer, la compañía de drogas farmacéuticas más grande del mundo según sus ingresos, alcanzó un 42% de ganancias. No existe ningún negocio con ese margen de ganancias en ningún otro sector. En el artículo decían lo siguiente: “Con algunos remedios a más de US$100.000 por tratamiento completo, y cuyo costo apenas alcanza una mínima fracción de ésto, no es difícil darse cuenta del porqué». Supuestamente a las farmacéuticas les cuesta unos 1.000 millones de dólares el desarrollar un nuevo medicamento. La industria farmacéutica no afronta sola el coste de la investigación, ya que el sistema es mixto, con participación pública y privada. Pero una vez en el mercado si el medicamento tiene demanda los beneficios son enormes. Yo no he encontrado una fuente fiable para conocer las ganancias de toda la farmaindustria, pero es seguro que junto al sector bancario y al armamento es la industria que más beneficios genera. Si la OMS consigue salirse con la suya y nos impone a todos un Tratado de Pandemias a nivel mundial, el control de los medicamentos pasaría a sus manos. Eso significa ganar aún más dinero al crear la enfermedad el mismo que te dará el remedio, mediante pago, claro está. La OMS tiene un presupuesto de un 20% de origen público a través de los países que la financian y un 80% de origen privado. Esto significa que el control real de la OMS pasa por tanto a las manos privadas que le proporcionan esa enorme cantidad de dinero. Las dos empresas privadas que sobresalen por encima de todas son la Fundación Bill y Melinda Gates y GAVI, la Alianza para las Vacunas que también esta controlada por Gates. Resumiendo, Gates controla la OMS. Sí, es absolutamente maquiavélico y más conociendo los orígenes eugenésicos dentro de su propia familia. William Henry Gates II, padre del multimillonario magnate tecnológico Bill Gates, “trabajó en las juntas directivas de innumerables organizaciones, incluidas United Way y Planned Parenthood las clínicas de planificación familiar…o sea la mayor cadena global para abortar con más de 44.000 clínicas a nivel mundial. En un pedazo de articulo publicado en Corbett Report podemos leer: “Además, el actual Director General de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, es, de hecho, como el propio Bill Gates, no es un médico, sino el controvertido ex Ministro de Salud de Etiopía, acusado de encubrir tres brotes de cólera en el país durante su mandato. Antes de unirse a la OMS, se desempeñó como presidente del Fondo Mundial para la Lucha contra el SIDA, la Tuberculosis y la Malaria, fundado por Gates, y formó parte de la junta directiva de Gavi, la Alianza de Vacunas y la Alianza Stop TB, financiada por Gates.” Y es que el señor Gates ayudó a crear Gavi con una donación de mil millones de dólares en 2011, y contribuyó con cuatro mil cien millones más durante el «Decenio de las vacunas”. Para Gavi el dinero donado por el gobierno español es una mera propina, la cuestión es que parece que necesitaban un pueblo dócil desde donde empezar esta era del bozal y parece que han elegido España por la calidad y cantidad de sus borregos. El Dr GERMÁN VELÁSQUEZ ex directivo de la OMS se ha dejado la garganta contando como la OMS ya no emplea sus recursos en vigilar la salud mundial si no en garantizar que se cumplen los objetivos particulares de estas multinacionales. Recomiendo visionar el video que dejare en los enlaces donde este ex directivo es entrevistado en una radio en directo. Y le formulan esta pregunta: “Hay quienes piensan que el problema de estas contribuciones millonarias de la industria farmacéutica es que la OMS puede adoptar decisiones de salud pública que pueden acabar beneficiando a estas mismas compañías, ¿esto es una especulación? o ¿es una teoría cierta? «Es una teoría que es totalmente cierta, ha sucedido, y está sucediendo. Cuando un donante da dinero, por ejemplo, la industria farmacéutica, estos representantes solicitan estar presente en los comités de expertos de los diferentes programas [de la OMS]. Hay un conflicto de intereses grave. Sucedió con la epidemia H1N1, los posibles fabricantes de vacunas y de medicamentos, como el Tamiflú, estaban sentados en el comité que estaba decidiendo si se lanzaba una epidemia o no, evidentemente, [las farmacéuticas] empujaron a que se lanzará la epidemia y se diera una alarma global porque iban a tener un mercado impresionante”. Julián Alterini explicó divinamente el pelotazo del Tamiflu en su documental Operación Pandemia cuyo video podréis encontrar en la descripción del podcast en Ivoox. Eran otros tiempos y su video fue visualizado por millones de personas en Youtube. Hoy día obviamente habría sido censurado de inmediato, obviamente no queda ni rastro de aquel video en dicha plataforma. Acordémonos de que la marca norteamericana, Gilead Sciences creadora del Tamiflu, prosiguió deliberadamente los ensayos de su medicamento contra la hepatitis B, identificado como Sovaldi (Sofosbuvir), en violación de las normas internacionales y contra la voluntad de los pacientes. En diciembre de 2015 murieron 24 pacientes durante los ensayos realizados por el laboratorio de Gilead Sciences en Georgia. Recuerden que los medicamentos curan pero también matan…y que Donald Rumsfeld uno de los principales accionistas de Gilead fue el creador de la campaña de terror que nos vendió el Tamiflú, un medicamento que terminó intentando venderse de segunda mano a los africanos. Un medicamento que a dia de hoy se les esta administrando a nuestros ancianos. ………………………………………………………………………………………. El Reglamento Sanitario Internacional (RSI) de 2005 define una emergencia de salud pública de importancia internacional (en sus siglas en inglés PHEIC, que se pronuncia igual que la palabra FAKE) como "un acontecimiento extraordinario que se determina que constituye un riesgo para la salud pública de otros Estados debido a la propagación internacional de enfermedades y que puede requerir una intervención internacional coordinada”. No pueden decírnoslo más claro y a la cara. Es una broma, una burla, un engaño…un fake. Pero todo el mundo se lo traga. Otro tema increíble en todo este asunto es saber quienes son las dos personas que están negociando por parte de España y cómo es posible que no sean públicos sus nombres. La abogada Cristina Armas nos contó que ella es sabedora de esos nombres porque los pidió a través de un cuestionario en el portal de transparencia pero que al contestarle le advirtieron de que no compartiese públicamente dicha información. ¿Eso es transparencia u opacidad? ¿No hay nadie con pelotas en este pais para averiguar quién cojones nos esta representando ante la OMS para negociar este esperpento y ponerles la cara colorada? El borrador del Tratado contra la Pandemia incluye, por ejemplo, una sección sobre “comunicación y conciencia pública” que es esencialmente un intento de controlar la narrativa y un ataque a la libertad de expresión a nivel mundial. El artículo 18 del texto de la Oficina del CA+ de la OMS establece que los países que firmen el tratado sobre pandemias “fortalecerán... el acceso a la información sobre las pandemias y sus efectos y sus impulsores, combatirán la infodemia y abordarán la información falsa, engañosa, errónea o desinformada, e incluso mediante la promoción de la cooperación internacional”. Cuando la OMS anunció el resultado de la reunión del INB (siglas en ingles de Órgano Intergubernamental de Negociación) en abril , afirmó: “Al finalizar [el 6 de abril], las discusiones sobre el borrador del acuerdo pandémico [OMS CA+] tuvieron lugar durante la quinta reunión del Órgano Intergubernamental de Negociación ( INB), que incluye a los 194 miembros de la OMS. países." Pero 194 países no estuvieron presentes en la reunión del INB. Puede ver una grabación de vídeo de la reunión en el sitio web de la OMS en el artículo titulado “La OMS publica un borrador de Tratado sobre Pandemia con la COP para garantizar su implementación y cumplimiento” que compartiré en la descripción del podcast. “A las 13:24, poco después de que la copresidenta de la Mesa, la Sra. Matsoso, cantara una pequeña canción “Declaró suspendida esta reunión”, la cámara se aleja para que todos los asistentes estén a la vista. Así es, según la OMS, 194 países involucrados: En el artículo vemos la imagen de una mesa circular con unas cuantas personas pero no una reunión con casi 200 países representados. Según el acta, estuvieron presentes seis personas, seis miembros de la Oficina del INB, que no son todos funcionarios gubernamentales sino que “representan” las regiones de 194 países. Eso no es lo mismo que “incluir” 194 países. Los 194 países no asisten a las reuniones del INB ni participan en la aprobación de los textos del INB. Quienquiera que escriba los anuncios de la OMS es un maestro en tergiversar los hechos para que a usted y a mí se nos haga creer que 194 países están involucrados en el proceso. El anuncio de la OMS continúa diciendo que “paralelamente a las negociaciones del acuerdo sobre la pandemia, los gobiernos también están discutiendo más de 300 enmiendas al Reglamento Sanitario Internacional (2005) (RSI)”. Basándonos en su manipulación de la verdad al principio del anuncio, tenemos que preguntarnos: ¿a qué “gobiernos”, en particular, se refiere la OMS?” ………………………………………………………………………………………. Para terminar os quiero recordar que el consentimiento voluntario del sujeto humano es absolutamente esencial. Y que nunca jamás podrán hacer algo a la fuerza de manera legal, ellos retorcerán las leyes y los derechos humanos para intentar que nosotros aceptemos voluntariamente o nos resignemos pero nunca será legal. El código de Nuremberg firmado en 1947 tras el juicio del mismo nombre fijó unas normas éticas para la realización de investigaciones médicas con seres humanos. El primer artículo es demoledor: “El consentimiento voluntario del sujeto humano es absolutamente esencial.” Sin más, si tú no quieres no pueden experimentar contigo bajo ningún concepto. Por otra parte en la Declaración universal sobre Bioética y Derechos Humanos de 2005 se recoge el siguiente texto: Artículo 6 – Consentimiento 1. Toda intervención médica preventiva, diagnóstica y terapéutica sólo habrá de llevarse a cabo previo consentimiento libre e informado de la persona interesada, basado en la información adecuada. Cuando proceda, el consentimiento debería ser expreso y la persona interesada podrá revocarlo en todo momento y por cualquier motivo, sin que esto entrañe para ella desventaja o perjuicio alguno. Por eso es tan importante para ellos dejar atado el tema legal. Incluso el propio Gates reconoce los riesgos inherentes de vacunar masivamente frente al COVID19. Pero su preocupación no es por las vidas que serán alteradas irrevocablemente en el caso de que las vacunas causen daños a la población. Lo que más le preocupa es que las compañías farmacéuticas y los investigadores reciban inmunidad legal por cualquier daño. Bill Gates decía esto en una entrevista a la CNBC: “Sabes, si tenemos, ya sabes, uno de cada 10,000 efectos secundarios, eso es, ya sabes, mucho más, 700,000, ya sabes, personas que sufrirán de eso. Entonces comprender realmente la seguridad a escala gigantesca en todos los rangos de edad (ya sabes, embarazadas, hombres, mujeres, desnutridos, comorbilidades existentes) es muy, muy difícil. Y esa decisión real de «OK, vamos y administremos esta vacuna al mundo entero», ah, los gobiernos tendrán que involucrarse porque habrá algún riesgo e indemnización necesarios antes de que se pueda decidir.” Es absolutamente una locura dejar en manos de estos criminales nuestra salud. No queremos introducir un miedo innecesario en vuestras cabezas por saber esta información, al contrario, que todo esto salga a la luz hará que les sea imposible implantarlo a la fuerza. Han perdido pero todavía no lo saben. Cuiden de sus familias, no tengan miedo y sean lo más felices que puedan, el amor lo puede todo. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: ….

While the flu shot has been around since 1945, 2023 marked the introduction of a new vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) — the first ever — and the latest Covid-19 shot. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved the two new vaccines, and the protection they offer comes just in the nick of time: Health officials say there is a strong likelihood of another "tripledemic" this winter. In addition to the vaccines for Covid, flu and RSV, there is a new protective treatment for RSV — a potentially life-saving option for those most at risk of complications. On this episode, family medicine doctor Eric Ascher, DO, explains your options for immunization and immune therapies this fall and winter.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: H5N1 - thread for information sharing, planning, and action, published by MathiasKB on February 5, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Hi everyone, I've been reading up on H5N1 this weekend, and I'm pretty concerned. Right now my estimate hunch is that there is a 5% non-zero chance that it will cost more than 10,000 people their lives. To be clear, I think it is unlikely that H5N1 will become a pandemic anywhere close to the size of covid. Nevertheless, I think our community should be actively following the news and start thinking about ways to be helpful if the probability increases. I am creating this thread as a place where people can discuss and share information about H5N1. We have a lot of pandemic experts in this community, do chime in! Resources Articles (paper showing H5N1 has spread to minks, which is my primary cause for concern) (widely shared, but I'm unsure how much to trust the claims) Markets Manifold Group of H5N1 manifold markets: Metaculus Plan for action Fight status quo bias In January 2020, many in the effective altruism and rationalist communities had correctly gauged the seriousness of the pandemic threat and were warning people publicly about it. Despite being convinced it was likely to become a pandemic I almost entirely failed to act beyond a few symbolic gestures such as stocking up on food/masks and warning relatives. I consider this to have been the biggest personal failing of my life. I could have started initiatives to organize and prepare, I could have invested in mRNA producers, I could have researched how it would affect third-world hospitals. Yet all I did was sit idly by and doom scroll the internet for news about covid. My goal with this thread is to avoid making that mistake ever again, even if it means most likely looking really stupid in a few months time. How can we lower the chance of a serious pandemic? I encourage everyone to think about actionable steps and be ambitious in their thinking. As far as I understand mink-to-human transmission is currently the primary reason to be concerned. What ways are there to minimize the chance of this occuring? The following companies currently own vaccines for H5N1: Sanofi SAAflunovGSK plcQ-Pan H5N1 influenza vaccineCSL LimitedAudenz (and 1-3 more I think?)Roche Holding AG Genussscheineoseltamivir (aka Tamiflu, not a vaccine), this one seems less useful than the others Could we pay them to start scaling up production tomorrow? One thing to note is that all these vaccines are egg-based. Are mRNA vaccines possible to create for this? If so, what can we do to speed up the process of making them? Any other ideas?

This is a truly valuable resource episode.In this episode:Overview of colds Fever  Congestion and ear pain Runny noseCough Immune boosters Sample regimens Overview 00:51Viral infections - no specific treatment for most Many types and subtypes of virusesTypical course: illness lasts 7-10 days, peak on day 4, cough can linger for up to 2 weeks afterRed flags: respiratory distress, dehydration (dry lips/tongue, decreased urine output, lethargy), fever for 5 or more days in a row, fever that goes away for more than 24 hours and then comes back (can indicate a secondary infection such as UTI/AOM/pneumonia)Fever 04:40Acetaminophen / paracetamol IbuprofenThese will also help with systemic symptoms - pain, body aches, lack of energy, lack of appetite, trouble sleeping.These do NOT treat cough, congestion, or runny nose Magic socks - wet cotton socks, cover with wool socks before bed I don't recommend potatoes, garlic, or onions on feet - I've seen some burns Congestion and ear pain 09:01 Eustachian tubes drain at the back of the nasopharynx, so congestion leads to fluid buildup in ears, so decongestants treat bothMedications for adults and children over age 6: pseudoephedrine by mouth, oxymetazoline nose sprayChildren under age 6: nothing for congestion; ibuprofen for ear pain (x48h before abx)Saline nose spray or sinus wash - hypertonic salineGinger, spicy foods, steam, vick's Oils -  eucalyptus, peppermint, menthol, breathe blend Sinus drain/massage - OMT or chiropractic - tapping on sinuses and pressing along lymphatic channelsAcupuncture Onion earmuffs for ear pain Runny nose 18:43Antihistamines DO NOT work.  Use saline spray to keep the mucus cleared out.  Can use bulb sucker if boogers are stuck.Wash your hands every time you wipe their nose Color of mucus has to do with the amount of inflammation and not necessarily whether it's a bacterial or viral infection If mucus is very thick and seems to be stuck, can use guaifenesin (Mucinex) to help them clear it out.  Kids almost never need this and it works by causing them to cough, so many parents avoid it because it makes their child seem worse.Cough 21:45Mucinex causes more coughDextromethorphan, codeine, and similar anti-cough agents work by decreasing respiratory drive and can cause children under age 6 to stop breathing Antihistamines only work if it's allergies, not for infectionsThe only thing that has been shown to be both safe and effective in Western medicine trials is honey (and only for children older than 1 year because of the risk of botulism!) Teach children to cough in their elbow Immune boosters 23:45Vitamin D - 400 unitsVitamin C - 1000mg for adults; 100mg per 10 lbs Zinc - 30-60mg for adultsEchinacea - after exposure or at the onset of symptoms Elderberry - syrup or gummies GarlicLemon juice Fruits and veggies - 10 servings per day, or supplement The vitamins and supplements my family takes is in my link tree Sample regimens 29:10RSV and/or common cold 29:13Tylenol/ibuprofen, saline nose spray/drops before eating and sleeping, can bulb suck after each time (or not), bring them into the bathroom when you shower so they can breathe the steam, put vicks or essential oils on yourself or the shower floor before getting in, use a nighttime humidifier if you live in a dry climate, give vitamin C and D, zinc, echinacea, elderberry, consider chiropractic and acupuncture Keep baby hydrated - it's fine if they don't eat anything at all for days, but they need to be drinking water and have at least a little sugar and salt each day.  If they have breastmilk or formula that is plenty, they don't need food on top of that.  It's VERY hard to eat with RSV because of the congestion.If breastfeeding, take immune boosters and keep breastfeeding as much as possible.  If you're sick, wear a mask so you don't cough or sneeze onto your baby.  Do NOT allow children with “just a little runny  nose” around your baby - RSV causes very mild symptoms in children and adults, but can cause about 1% of babies to end up hospitalized Do NOT share bulb suckers or pacifiers between childrenCOVID 34:51As for RSV; there might be specific treatment in the future but right now only for adults.  Adults in the household should be vaccinated Flu 35:27Acetaminophen/ibuprofen for fever and body aches, can also help with sleep and appetiteSaline drops/spray for congestion, honey for cough (over 1 year), ginger for congestion and to settle the stomachFor vomiting and diarrhea, keep them hydrated with small sips of water, watered-down juice (50% water or more), oral rehydration solution, popsicles, jello, or commercial drinks like pedialyte/gatorade.  If they are unable to keep down fluids you need to bring them to the ER.  Tamiflu is sometimes helpful and sometimes causes GI upset.  It's approved for ages 6mos and up.  Adults and children over 6 months of age can be vaccinated Holistic Mama's Handbook 39:43I am in the midst of writing HMHCollaborating with pediatric acupuncturists, chiropractors, dietitians, naturopaths, etcFor parents of young children Release date Fall 2023 Dr. Keim has extensively researched the information presented in this episode.

        Episode #10: Peace and Freedom through Catastrophization Management   Dr. Prianca reflects back on an old journal entry from the early days of the pandemic. In this entry, we see how catastrophization can deplete and exhaust us.  Despite catastrophization being a natural defense mechanism, Dr. Prianca explains why it's a total waste of brain space, the common examples of how working moms catastrophize, and mindfulness as a catastrophization tool.   What you will learn: What is catastrophization? Examples of catastrophization The role of mindfulness in managing catastrophizing thoughts If you want to work with Coach Prianca Naik, MD, go to www.priancanaikmdcoaching.as.me to book a 30-minute consultation call. Follow Dr. Prianca on social media: https://www.facebook.com/prianca.naik https://www.instagram.com/stresscleansemd https://www.linkedin.com/in/prianca-naik-md-0524a196/ Join her FREE Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/646992382603860     [FULL TRANSCRIPT BELOW:] Today I want to talk about catastrophization What? What is that? Ok, I didn't even know what this was until I started getting in to mindfulness meditation and reading Jon Kabat Zinn. Catastrophization is assuming the worst-case scenario. This can be accompanied by obsessive worrying and spinning. I used to do this constantly-catastrophize and it honestly made my life a living hell. I look at journal entries from a few years ago and see how much I was suffering. I didn't even realize it because I was in the thick of it. I need to address it to increase your awareness of it so that you can join me in my journey of dealing with it. Catastrophization is happiness thief. So let's face it and beat the shit out of it as best we can! Before I give you tips and tricks to deal with catastrophization, I want to share a journal entry I found from the beginning of the pandemic in march of 2020. The worst case scenario with covid is death. One of my partners is covid positive he is in his early 30s is certainly not ready to die. He has a six month Old infant at home and must be going crazy worrying about her. I think about him and how corona could get me next. It horrifies me. I just think that I have to get through my day and know that if I want to quit I forgive myself. We are all grieving the life that we once knew wondering when we will see it again. It is a loss. Last night my husband was grieving and asked me what's going to happen to us? Unfortunately I do not have the answer to that. But I try to remain calm as I hold him and tell him we will just take it one day at a time. Physicians are dying all around us and I am a physician. I know that 80% of people who are affected do just fine but it seems like the doctors are dying so then I wonder am I going to die too. During that time, it was important to work on not catastrophize. Every cough, sneeze, mask below the nose would make my throat have a squeezing sensation and I would notice it and pull myself out of the rabbit hole. That I wasn't going to get covid and I wasn't going to die. And here I am today proving that the optimistic stance was actually true. I want you to know that you're not alone in catastrophizing. Many of us catastrophize. Maybe we are trained to do it at a young age or we learn it in medical training. Doctors are taught to have catastrophic thinking. We must rule out the worst case scenario upon hearing any medical complaint. This is the best thing to do for the patient and also important medicolegally. Catastrophization is applauded-which is fine until the habit shows up outside of work. When it bleeds into our personal lives, we start to suffer. Before I began this powerful work, I used to catastrophize about EVERYTHING. It was exhausting. Child has a fever? Assume he's going to die. Someone at work says I need to talk to you, I assume I'm in big trouble. Get an unexpected phone call from my mom, assume shes calling me to tell me she has cancer. What a way to live! When we constantly catastrophize, we are creating our own hell. It's a self-created hell. But the beauty of the self-created hell, is that we have to power to dismantle this hell! I want to give you an example of catastrophization and coping strategies of A client of mine a physician mother of two small kids. Before coaching: As the pandemic set in, in a pre-vaccine era, every sneeze, cough, and cold set off her anxiety and panic at work as an allergist. She struggled with feeling this way all day every day. She would catastrophize re getting covid and passing it on to her young children. After coaching: With awareness of the catastrophic thinking, she was able to sit with it and then use concrete anti anxiety coping strategies to pull herself out of the catastrophic brainado and take control of her experience. I remember in January of 2020 my 22 month old had a temperature of 106 and I had to walk myself off the ledge of thinking he would die. I felt the anxiety in my throat and noticed it. Breathed. Took action to give him Tamiflu and Tylenol and it passed. He is fine now. Do you catastrophize a lot? Catastrophization is our protective mechanism to keep us safe. But more often then not we don't need it. assuming the worst-case scenario is often accompanied by obsessive worrying and spinning. The problem with catastrophizing is that we waste our precious time and brain space. Exhausting ourselves unnecessarily. And when we deplete ourselves of our finite energy, we have little to give to the areas in life where we want. As in energy to give to our families or relationships or careers. Ok so how do we deal with catastrophization, how do we manage it and own it so it doesn't own us? How do we tap into our own power of owning the catastrophization? This is what you do, grab a pen and paper and make a note of it so you can keep practicing it. Now that you know what catastrophization is, you can be aware of it. Notice your thought or feeling. Where is it in your body? Is it a squeezing? Is it a pressure? When I feel anxious or stressed, I usually feel a tightness in my throat. The more I notice that and the more familiar I get with it, the more I realize it's not harming me. The increased familiarity with the sensation makes me more comfortable in a way. Comfortable with anxiety? WHATTT? This is it. A major step forward in managing our minds. Empowering ourselves to optimize our life experience. Once you're aware and acknowledging that catastrophization is happening, notice that you're doing it or about to do it. Then, stop yourself in your tracks from going down the rabbit hole. Practice mindfulness: If you're having trouble pulling yourself out of the rabbit hole, try noticing your body. I say to myself there is a body and feel the weight of gravity on my body. This makes me feel grounded. You can also take a few deep breaths. If that's not working, you can also notice your surroundings. This will pull you out of your own head. Maybe these tactics sound kooky to you, but I promise they are the key to getting control of your life and living with peace and ease. It won't work at first. Meaning you might stop yourself after going deep into the rabbit hole. But as you continue to practice Awareness and stopping, you'll catch yourself earlier and earlier. The next time you find yourself catastrophizing, just acknowledge your brain is doing it. Then-make a decision. Take back your power. Decide to not give the catastrophic thought air time. And if you're feeling especially ballsy, decide to assume the best instead of worst case scenario. I parked in a seemingly shady parking garage recently; before I knew it, I was imagining my car getting stolen and broken into. Should I periodically check on my car? I pondered. That's as far as I got. I stopped myself in my tracks, mid-catastrophization, and decided to not go any further. In fact, I assumed that the car would be okay. Worrying about it would make no difference in the outcome, but would take up precious brain space. This is a small window into what helps me live a lighter life, in peace, and empowered. And remember, after we acknowledge and pull ourselves out of the rabbit hole, we can take it one step further and assume the best case scenario. Is your back killing you or you injured your ankle? Feeling frustrated like you'll never get better? How about assuming your body will heal. Because it probably will. Assuming the best. It's a lot more difficult to do, but makes life a lot more fun. It's fucking delightful. I'm not joking. And in the backdrop, have faith in yourself that you can handle whatever comes your way. Just like you always have just like you always will. Open yourself to all possibilities and trust that you can cope Always remember that this too shall pass And if you still don't believe this, think about a tough time you got through and handled. You're resilient. You're still here. That incident didn't kill you. Probably made you stronger. So remember that, keep that in the back of your head as your evidence of how you can and will navigate any difficulties that come your way. People love to say "Ohhhh are you sure you can do that, or that's hard to do. Or No one has ever done that." Shut that shit down. Don't listen to it and trust yourself. If you feel like you've tried therapy self-help books exercise meditation and are still struggling as a working mom, in your marriage, in your career let's talk to get you unstuck and into peace and freedom.
