Americans Should Dump their Healthcare System.

The American Health Care System is Killer
in the age of Covid -19.

The bloated US healthcare system were pretty much exposed during the Pandemic , just like the inept U.S. government . EVEN with Obama-care , or Covered California it's still expensive , at the whim of the Healthcare corporations . In order to get it like it's in Canada , you have have to have no income .This argument isn't for  (1)>>"universal healthcare being more effective", it's for our system being less effective than other systems, including universal healthcare, there is a difference. If we start at the assumption that our system is one of the worst in the world we arrive at the conclusion that most healthcare system are better. This isn't a case for universal healthcare, it's an argument against our system. The recession triggered by the coronavirus pandemic is one of the worst in modern American history, with more than 11 percent of workers unemployed lost their insurance . People have spent their whole lives paying into the system. The insurance pays the bills and they get world class treatment. Out of pocket was a few hundred dollars each time. (2)>>Hospitals jack up the rates they charge to insurance companies to enormous amounts because the insurance will fight them tooth and nail to pay. So they charge $20 per pill of pain meds because they know the insurance is going to refuse to pay 90% of that. The problem comes when people don't know that they can work with the hospital to lower their bills when they don't have insurance. The secondary problem being that people pick the lowest price insurance available and then don't make sure they understand their coverage. Insurance is fairly good at hiding what they do and don't cover behind a wall of legal jargon.  (3)>>A lot of us are limited to getting what our employer provides. Personally funded insurance is prohibitively expensive. I know a lot of people who are only working where they are (or working at all, in the case of a few close to retirement) because they need insurance. Healthcare is an inelastic service supplying inelastic goods, and absent the kind of regulations that remove incentives for insurance companies to charge only as much as what little competition they have (plus things like waste in terms of EOL care and a culture of overmedication happily supported by a pharmaceutical industry facing the same counterproductive incentives), the system in place is simply too lucrative for those it benefits to ever be changed without external intervention. So we're left to bargain our bills like it's a medical flea market, or drown in unavoidable debt if an unaffordable calamity strikes like Covid -19.Part of the problem is that we don't have a "free market" so to speak. The price of healthcare is incredibly opaque in the US: how much it is going to cost you for a particular treatment is frequently impossible to get out of providers -- they don't know how much your provider is going to cover necessarily and they are loathe to predict (this comes from personal experience rather than a well understood source), and the cost varies widely between locations (see the nytime article on saline bags). Because of this, I expect that people don't actually buy healthcare the way they do other things, so the market forces are poor drivers of cost.

The American Healthcare System is evil and redundant .

While the nation has  (3.1)>>Obama-care in one form or another , it's still not government run , but controlled by Wall Street INC. The HMO's , the big Insurance fat cats use a marketing system that has the affordability rates shooting sky high , with medical bills that crush most Americans . Just because it's called Obama-care , it's still the same rip off conglomerate that has driven the U.S. Healthcare system as one of the worse .This. For the amount of money the US spends per capita, you would expect everyone to have top notch care and superb health. What actually happens is relatively poor outcomes and coverage (relative to comparable nations). Basically, it's among the least efficient healthcare systems in existence...it maintains the results it does by pouring HUGE amounts of money into the system. The US healthcare system is a monument to perverse incentives, unintended consequences and political inertia. It is astonishingly bad — indeed, it’s so astonishingly bad that even people who believe it’s bad don’t appreciate quite how bad it is.

The High Cost of American Healthcare .

(4)>>>The United States is the only profit-motivated healthcare system in the world, and perhaps it is no coincidence that this country also has the most expensive healthcare of any nation. Americans spent $3.2 trillion on healthcare (almost $10,000 per person on average) in 2015, accounting for 17.8% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP). Each year, health care payers and providers in the United States spend about $496 billion on billing and insurance-related (BIR) costs, according to Center for American Progress estimates presented were enormous . Yet, with a pandemic like this you'd think the government had it under control ? The financial costs are most obvious, and they are truly extraordinary. For a family of four, the US system costs about $13,000 a year more than that of Switzerland, which itself is substantially more expensive than any other. The US system costs more than twice as much, per person, as the universal coverage provided by the UK’s NHS. Even the government-funded part of the US system costs more per capita than the NHS. That is why in my opinion a government or public option for healthcare is beneficial to both us as individuals and for the system to run more efficiently. By forcing people to have health insurance, something only the government can really do, everybody pays into the system and when everyone participates it's easier to balance the cost of treatment for the sick and the premiums of the healthy. I believe that the government would also do a better job at maintaining a leaner system as opposed to a private company which is motivated a little bit more by increased profits. So in theory we get cheaper, better coverage and the system has enough flexibility to accommodate variation. It is important to point out that this entirely suppositional, and is the result of a systemic feedback problem in how prices and reimbursement are determined, impacting the market. Not because there is some conspiracy to make healthcare expensive. This is simple economics.

Covid -19 , Ventilator  Nightmare .

Perhaps the killer aspect of the American Healthcare system is how Covid exposed it a the number one factor why over 500,000 people died . It was NOT THAT THE LITTLE VIRUS, it was so treatable. American healthcare system killed those people over $$$. It was more about profits over people . The Pandemic made the U.S healthcare system vulnerable , it also reveals that why and why there should be a government takeover of all the made for profit healthcare systems in America. The virus was just a scratch in the mirror . What if a nuclear bomb went off in a U.S. City , radiation sickness spreading . Just THINK THAT ! YOU'd think twice that any healthcare care institution would be able to help any of the sick ? Made for profit healthcare last year sent many Americans to their deaths ,  (5)>>by sticking them in Ventilators while waiting for money to pay for the covid treatments . Around 40% to 50% of patients die on ventilators when they have severe respiratory distress but at least 80% of coronavirus patients put on ventilators in New York City have died, The Associated Press reported, citing state and city officials.

LAST WORD : WHY AMERICAN'S SHOULD DUMP THEIR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

According the to Emergency Medical and Treatment Labor Act of 1986, hospitals cannot turn away patients because of their inability to pay. So the hospitals wind up eating the expense for the emergency care of uninsured people in critical circumstances. They have to make up that expense somewhere else ... i.e., from the insured patients. The reality really sick patients  are stuck with horrible bills , secondly the made for profit American healthcare system has denied treatment , (6)>>dumped elderly people in the streets . An important reason is the US system of private health insurance.  In stark contrast to these nations, the United States relies largely on a direct-fee system, in which patients under 65 (those 65 and older are covered by Medicare) are expected to pay for medical costs themselves, aided by private health insurance, usually through one’s employer.Whereas mortality rates have risen in the U.S. consistent with comparable countries in the past few decades, the rates of amenable mortality across the country are poor. This measure tracks mortality as it relates to preventable and treatable issues and is directly tied to health care access. Moreover, disease burden, which factors in years lost due to disability and premature death, is also high in the U.S. compared to similar countries. With Covid -19 the system is at the brink of collapse . It must be replaced with a system that put's (7)>>PEOPLE over PROFITS.

NOTES AND COMMENTS :

(1)>>"universal healthcare being more effective". It should, therefore, come as no surprise that healthcare for all—“universal healthcare” (UHC)—has been a highly appealing social objective in most countries in the world, even in those that have not got very far in actually providing it.The United States, which can certainly afford to provide healthcare at quite a high level for all Americans, is exceptional in terms of the popularity of the view that any kind of public establishment of universal healthcare must somehow involve unacceptable intrusions into private life. If you're in the health care field, then potentially that isn't a bad thing for you, from a business perspective. If you look at it from an overall prospective though, the more money that's spent towards health care means the individual has less money to spend on other things. The more overall unhealthy the general populace is, the more those costs are soon spread to other individuals, namely through the aforementioned distribution of health care costs onto taxpayers or insured patients. Even in the cost of medications, where as that first link shows, those coupon programs tend to encourage use of the more expensive option, which also increases in price at a greater rate than the other, due to some of that discount.Now, if we had a more accessible health care system in general, those with chronic conditions would probably have a greater quality of life, to the point where they could likely return to being at least productive. Instead of simply being doomed to a life on disability, in itself a rather flawed, inefficient way of getting people the help they need.The COVID-19 pandemic also underscores the precariousness of a system in which insurance is linked to employment. Initial unemployment claims rose from 282,000 for the week ending last March 14 to 6.6 million, 5.2 million and 4.4 million, for the weeks ending last April 4, April 11, and April 18 2020,  respectively, compared with a previous record high of 695,000 from 1982 . Many of these newly unemployed individuals will lose their health insurance. Although they are permitted to purchase insurance on the federal exchange, switching networks disrupts continuity of care, which is particularly detrimental for those living with chronic health conditions. Furthermore, the majority of families are unable to afford health insurance upon becoming unemployed, given that more than half of American families live paycheck to paycheck . (2)>>Hospitals jack up the rates they charge to insurance companies to enormous amounts because the insurance .  Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore found that many hospitals charged more than 20 times the cost of some services, particularly for certain services like CT scans and anesthesiology. The researchers said that the pattern of charging suggests that hospitals strategically look for surreptitious ways to boost revenue.The markups occurred in all types of hospitals, both private and nonprofit, the researchers said. Yet hospitals with the highest markups, on average, tended to be for-profit hospitals with strong power within their markets, because of either their system affiliations or their dominance of regional markets. In other words, those hospitals that can mark up prices, do mark up prices, according to the researchers. The pricing can have serious consequences for the payer, the researchers said. For example, hospitals whose costs for a CT scan run at about $100 may charge a patient $2,850 for a CT scan, the study found. (3)>>A lot of us are limited to getting what our employer provides. Personally funded insurance is prohibitively expensive.  My EXPERIENCE with employer provided care is that it's not EXACTLY FREE , if you work  for the public sector [ schools, county , etc] there is a portion that your employer pays and what you pay will vary . That gift of employer healthcare is at the whim of Union negotiations , increasing costs of healthcare providers , third party public retirement systems . It reminds me of gambling on what the year to year costs go to the employee to employer . Most costs are much higher than the public sector , marked up by 50%. Fore every year public employee healthcare costs have gone up 25 %!  (3.1)>>Obama-care in one form or another. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also called “Obamacare,” may be the biggest insurance scam in history. The industries that profit from our current health care system wrote the legislation, heavily influenced the regulations and have received waivers exempting them from provisions in the law. This has all been done to protect and enhance their profits.In the meantime, the health care crisis continues. Fewer people, even those with health insurance, can afford the health care they need because of out-of-pocket costs. The ACA continues that trend by pushing skimpy health plans with low coverage and restricted networks.This is what happens in a market-based system of health care. People get only the amount of health care they can afford, rather than what they need. The ACA takes our failed market-based system to a whole new level by forcing the uninsured to purchase private health plans and using the government to sell and subsidize them.Sadly, most Americans are being manipulated into supporting the ACA and do not even know they are being bamboozled. That is how scams work. Even after the con is completed, victims do not know they have been manipulated and ripped off. They may even feel good about being scammed, thinking they made a deal when they really had their bank accounts picked. But it is the insurance companies that are the realizing windfall profits from the Obamacare con even as it falters.   (4)>>>The United States is the only profit-motivated healthcare system in the world.  In the wealthiest country in the world, the Covid-19 pandemic has exposed the core of a healthcare system that is structurally incapable of dealing with the pandemic. Federal and local governments, health insurers and employers have pledged to help Americans pay their way through this crisis, but to do so requires a dramatic overhaul of a system which has for decades prioritized cost over care.For most Americans, health care looks something like this: A patient purchases health insurance, or receives it from his employer. The insurer then directs the patient to use physicians in its network, with whom it has negotiated reimbursement rates. The patient is given little or no information about the comparative cost or quality of any particular doctor. The patient then visits his doctor. After an interview and an examination, the physician orders tests, procedures, or medications on the patient's behalf. The insurance company reimburses the doctor for a large share of these costs, though it might occasionally haggle if it feels the doctor has spent too much on the patient. The patient receives a bill in the mail from the insurer for his part of the expenditure; that bill is only vaguely related to the services rendered to the patient, and is generally presented in a way that makes it impossible to decipher the relationship between services and costs.Health spending in the U.S. increased by 4.6% in 2018 to $3.6 trillion or $11,172 per capita. (5)>>by sticking them in Ventilators while waiting for money to pay for the covid treatments . Many forms of ventilation use masks to help get oxygen into the lungs. Doctors’ main concern is around mechanical ventilation, which involves putting tubes into patients’ airways to pump air in, a process known as intubation. Patients are heavily sedated, to stop their respiratory muscles from fighting the machine.Those with severe oxygen shortages, or hypoxia, have generally been intubated and hooked up to a ventilator for up to two to three weeks, with at best a fifty-fifty chance of surviving, according to doctors interviewed by Reuters and recent medical research. The picture is partial and evolving, but it suggests people with COVID-19 who have been intubated have had, at least in the early stages of the pandemic, a higher rate of death than other patients on ventilators who have conditions such as bacterial pneumonia or collapsed lungs.Human Rights Watch said.The potential financial burden resulting from medical care or hospitalization may deter many Americans, particularly those who are uninsured or underinsured, from seeking care. Many insurance companies have waived all out-of-pocket costs for coronavirus treatment, for some patients slashing a million-dollar-plus bill to nothing. But those waivers are entirely voluntary, and many have already expired. Medical bills for uninsured COVID-19 patients are covered by the federal government, but the rules are complex, and hospitals must apply for the money.Many insurance companies have waived all out-of-pocket costs for coronavirus treatment, for some patients slashing a million-dollar-plus bill to nothing. But those waivers are entirely voluntary, and many have already expired. Medical bills for uninsured COVID-19 patients are covered by the federal government, but the rules are complex, and hospitals must apply for the money.(6)>>dumped elderly people in the streets . The evil of the U.S. Healthcare system is defined by Elder Dumping .  Some examples are of Gabino Olvera is a 42-year-old man who is mentally ill, paraplegic, and homeless. He was dropped off by Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in a soiled hospital gown with a catheter bag and no wheelchair in a neighborhood populated by many other homeless people . Carol Ann Reyes, an elderly woman suffering from dementia, was dropped off by Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center in front of Union Rescue Mission, an organization that serves the needy and homeless, wearing just a hospital gown . This practice is known as “patient dumping. Not only is patient dumping wrong, it’s also illegal under federal law. Patient dumping used to be a pervasive problem all across the U.S., particularly in situations when patients could not pay for treatment or didn’t have insurance. BUT it STILL HAPPENS ! Hospitals that infringe upon a patient’s rights to save on their bottom line need to be held responsible. Families of patients who have suffered injuries as a result of illegal patient dumping practices can hold the hospital accountable by filing a medical malpractice lawsuit. Working with experienced hospital negligence attorneys, victims and their families can get the answers and compensation they deserve.(7)>>PEOPLE over PROFITS . Health insurer practices like “fail first” and prior authorization lead to higher costs for patients and treatment delays. Patients deserve a system that provides access to the care they need, when they need it. Countries with universal nonprofit healthcare don’t have millions of people struggling to afford healthcare. And they don’t have millions of people skipping out on prescriptions because they cost too much money. From Switzerland to Italy, and Norway to France, healthcare is considered a basic human right. No one questions the notion that everyone, no matter who they are, is entitled to lifesaving and affordable healthcare. But the differences in healthcare outcomes in the U.S. and in Europe go beyond just universal healthcare. You see, healthcare isn’t a profit-making machine in Europe the way it is in the U.S.Suddenly, there was money to be made off of healthcare in America, and a lot of it. Banksters realized that these once-nonprofit hospitals, health insurers, and nursing homes had the potential to become absolute gold mines. Former Senator Bill Frist's family, for example, made billions in the 1980s and 1990s privatizing formerly county and city hospitals, slashing salaries, busting unions, and raising prices.Slowly but surely, corporations and the wealthy elite took over our healthcare system, and have left us with a healthcare nightmare. That’s why according to a new study by a prominent think-tank, the United States ranks dead last in a review of healthcare in the industrialized world. For the fifth time in a row, the U.S. has been ranked last in the Commonwealth Fund’s annual review of healthcare in developed nations. In fact, this is the story of the U.S. healthcare system. I mean, what kind of “system” is a loosely connected jumble of bureaucratic insurance companies vying to rip every cent out of your cold dying hands? 

A Tale of TWO Laboratories and ONE VIRUS ????

Fort Detrick Bio Lab .located in Frederick, Maryland. Historically, Fort Detrick was the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969. Since the discontinuation of that program, it has hosted most elements of the United States biological defense program.
WAS this Lab one of the sources of Covid 19?
There are some clues in 2019 that something was 
coming ......

While we all have been distracted , pointed the finger at China , Wuhan lab as the possible leak of the COVID virus . That has always been part of the "conspiracy theory" . Yes, there is a lot of things we will never know how this pandemic was cooked up .  Now I have been thinking about a possible , not so discussed biology lab in America . Back in 2019 just a few months before the Covid pandemic was to hit the world . There was a serious bio lab leak in the U.S. that was covered up . The Army's premier (1)>>biological laboratory on Fort Detrick reported two breaches of containment earlier in 2019, leading to the Centers for Disease and Control halting its high-level research. The strange pre Covid influenza like sickness in august 2019 was reported . The Fort's own deadly germ research operations were abruptly shut down following serious safety violations in particular relating to the disposal of dangerous materials .  (2)>>The Green Spring Village   close to the senior home just 10 miles from the u.s capital Washington dc according to the Washington post article it was here where five residents have died following an outbreak of a mysterious  respiratory illness that began in the summer 2019.  Now  Detrick the complex includes a fairly huge area and this is the home for many elderly people, residents. Now we must also look at the other mysterious pneumonia around that looked similar to  (2.1)>>Covid was the  e-cigarete vaping deadly flu pneumonia. It's hard to link any of these together as I write . Now Fort Detrick , Had  two breaches reported by USAMRIID to the CDC demonstrated a failure of the Army laboratory to "implement and maintain containment procedures sufficient to contain select agents or toxins" that were made by operations in biosafety level 3 and 4 laboratories, according to the report. Biosafety level 3 and 4 are the highest levels of containment, requiring special protective equipment, air flow and standard operating procedures. It's really strange that Experts slammed the US for its evasive, ostrich-like attitude towards the rising voices calling for a USAMRIID investigation, while slandering a laboratory in China's Wuhan city for "originating" the coronavirus. Only an open, transparent investigation can be a persuasive response for the US, said Ni Feng, director of the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. "The US' current attitude reflects its deep-rooted double standard," Ni told the Global Times . China's accusations are right . It's troubling even to speculate that there were two sources of the Covid virus . One was in China with a China variation , another one more plausible explanation that a American lab leaked out a American variation of the virus . This could also explain why the U.S. was hit so quickly , the spread was not slowed down , infected so many people in a matter of months . If one of the sources of the virus came from a American lab , not a Chinese one ?. 

The Creation of Covid Vaccines derived from Bat RNA genetic material.

The "infamous" Wuhan Virology Lab 
in Wuhan China .
 

We have also noted the profound links between elements of the military and treatment regimens (vaccines and medicines) for Covid-19. If the body's immune system is capable of recognizing the virus based on its spike proteins, why would we need to synthetically create them?Here's my guess: When people get Covid, it takes a few days for the body to learn how to do this and fight back. In that time, the virus replicates and damages your body. Most people recover from the virus because our bodies adapt quickly enough; some people don't.👉👉Introducing the virus or this protein ahead of time teaches the body to respond more quickly to future infections and fight it off more effectively.👈👈 Question from what "source" ? (3)>>Operation Warp Speed was already in motion in 2019 way  before the breakout of Covid . US Collaborators , Laboratory  in creating a SARS-COV vaccine but studying corona viruses in South Asian Bats . (4)>>Bats are often considered patient zero for many deadly viruses affecting humans, including Ebola, rabies, and, most recently, the SARS-CoV-2 strain of virus that causes coronavirus. An international team of scientists whose funding for research on bat coronaviruses was recently yanked by the U.S. government has published what it calls the most comprehensive analysis ever done of such viruses. In a preprint posted here to read . on bioRxiv, the researchers examine partial genetic sequences of 781 coronaviruses found in bats in China, more than one-third of which have never been published. Moderna’s SARS-CoV‑2 vaccine continues to generate controversy. Despite receiving funding from DARPA, no mention of the government backing was mentioned in its patent filings. While Moderna was not open about its extensive government support in patent filings, the company has been open about it with the press–for good reason: the fast-tracking of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine development has been justified in large part because of that extensive past government support. That support highlights the close work Moderna and US government agencies have conducted together over the years developing this vaccine technology for MERS. IF THERE Was a said specious attempt at creating a SARS vaccine. You can still see the stock shares sold on it & when virus project went then tits up, they dumped stock like mad. Started I don't know where? Was in Americas in 2015, then moved to Wuhan ?. (5)>>At WIV Wuhan added bat RNA with HIV qualities. IN CASE you wonder the source of the rNA you have to read this article ahead , the possible reason why there is a mad rush to vaccinate people . Covid originated in Bats, South Asian Bats, they  have some immunity from the virus , but it can jump from them to animal to human , mutate . So this protein rNA could have only been derived from BATS  [ SEE this 👉👉 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-020-0185-6 ]

Why BELIEVE that there IS more than one VIRUS ?

To BEGIN with My hypothesis ,  (6)>>the American variation of Covid had to have been in the country much earlier , could have been  SARS . THE evidence is overwhelming , Through July 2003, a total of 192 SARS cases had been reported in the United States, including 159 suspect and 33 probable cases; of the 33 probable cases only 8 had laboratory evidence of the SARS virus. No SARS-related deaths occurred in the U.S. SARS cases reported in the U.S. occurred primarily among people who traveled to SARS-affected areas; a small number of people became ill after being in close contact with (having cared for or lived with) a SARS patient while in the U.S. The virus that hit the United States starting back last year was  (7)>>NOT THE CHINESE COVID VIRUS , but the otherwise deadly cousin SARS .  A USA TODAY investigation that concluded that there were more than 1,100 lab accidents involving dangerous pathogens or toxins in the U.S. alone between 2008 and 2012. The  (8)>>SARS virus escaped from research labs in the early 2000s and caused minor outbreaks in Beijing, Taiwan, and Singapore, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to tighten biosafety recommendations for SARS-related coronaviruses. THE BIG QUESTION NOW is which Corona -virus ?  Scientists have divided coronaviruses into four sub-groupings, called alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. Seven of these viruses can infect people . CURIOUSLY , can any of these sub-groups be misidentified for Covid -19?, many of the spikes reported could have been one of the other seven ? (8)>>Covid swab test can make errors ? 

Why ONLY in America has the Virus Mutated ?

 KEEP IN MIND that Fort Detrick  high-security lab Maryland was the source of the American Covid strain , which I would call it SARS rather than Covid-19 . While we have focused on the Wuhan Lab in China , it must be noted that China variant , is the same virus ravaging U.S. it's  SARS . Novavax received the coronavirus strain in early January and is one of a number of companies currently in hot pursuit of a coronavirus vaccine. Novavax is yet another Gaithersburg-located organization that has been at the epicenter of battling emerging infectious diseases. The  NEXT SMOKING GUN in this document presents Fort Detrick as part of "U.S bio defense Program"👉 https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/FOID/Reading%20Room/NCB/biodefense_research_pgm_April_1989.pdf👈 It's also possible that the American "leak" was coincidental , but it likely happened in November of 2019 , was mistaken for the Influenza outbreak. The  flu activity summarized in CDC’s most recent FluView report, was called a "flu variant " ? This variant could have been SARS ? The CDC in 2019 gave us "clues" that America was already in a "pandemic " state way before we heard of COVID-19 . CDC estimated that the burden of illness  in the U. S. during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza, 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths from influenza . Remember the CDC issued no guidelines , NO MASKS , nor did we hear Dr. Fauci on TV . Yet we were already in a Pandemic mode by November 2019 .  BY the year 2020 in January the virus has already mutated enough , became slightly more contagious spreading out from America , it traveled to the UK , Europe .

Conclusions : More Mutations .

They are independent mutations maybe ?. That’s one of the reasons scientists wonder if there’s natural selection acting on this, since the independent variants both seem to be spreading faster. Are they as deadly as the original one? Correct me if I’m wrong, but from an evolutionary standpoint, shouldn’t viruses evolve to become more contagious but less deadly? We don't know what to believe anymore . AS I explained above . We had SARS in this country for a long while , it somehow "fused" with the Influenza virus . How this was done is not natural , had to have been done in a (9)>>U.S. biolab experiment like its counterpart in China . In 2018-2019 as I explained above we had a huge spike with the Flu just right before the "so called Covid outbreak". This has to be explained by local origin . Another thing it's also possible that Covid , and the American SARS were side by side each other by March 2020 . However, any mutations which cause changes AFTER the onset of symptoms aren’t so likely to be selected against. Nor are changes that make it more infectious to children or young adults etc. The U.K. has conducted about 144000 genomic tests on the virus, and there have been about 12000 different mutations from the earliest strain so far! Obviously, most of these have had little or no effect, and some may well have decreased it’s deadliness or transmissibility, but the ones that’ll make headlines are the ones that make it worse.I haven't done enough reading neither am I qualified to provide predictions but I'm just concerned as I've seen a video where the scientist have speculated that the Virus could pinball/snowball into mutations exponetionally (so where it mutates once means it transmits easier thereby increasing the likelihood of further mutations by being able to find more hosts) where eventually it could achieve vaccine escape.This means the virus then becomes so heterogeneous that vaccine development cannot be tweaked quickly enough to deal with so many strains. The virus would achieve a critical mass by reaching the optimal Deadliness/transmissibility level then start to trough until it becomes just another cold, so essentially like a bell curve. This is assuming it's not eliminated from vaccination in time. Does this sound plausible to you?

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>biological laboratory on Fort Detrick. The USAAMRIID was shut down by the CDC in early August of 2019, in part for the improper disposal of waste from “non-human primates” infected with a “select agent” which has not been disclosed for national security reasons.) ” . . . . ‘The EcoHealth Alliance–financed by USAID–partnered with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to research bat-borne coronaviruses. A “chimeric” virus was created by Baric under this program in 2015, and Baric was subsequently selected to create the SARS Cov‑2 virus from scratch. This was conducted in a US Lab first , later in Wuhan China in various bio-labs in the city . (2)>>The Green Spring Village .  IN 2019 at least Two people have died and 18 others have been hospitalized after a "respiratory outbreak" at a Virginia retirement community, according to officials. The Fairfax County Department of Health said that 54 individuals had become ill with "respiratory symptoms ranging from upper respiratory symptoms (cough) to pneumonia" in the last 11 days at Greenspring Retirement Community in Springfield.  CDC and County emails regarding this breakout. They blamed it on the common cold even though 90% of the people tested did not test positive for the Rhino Virus. I believe this came from Ft. Detrick. It was suddenly shut down in June 2019 and some staff had to be quarantined after being exposed to the Corona Virus. NOW the idea that the Green Spring Village was the epicenter of the corona virus in America , a retirement community was somehow infected residents both elderly , rings with similarity what New York Gov. Cuomo did in placing sick Covid patients in Nursing homes . Using the elderly as 'Guinea pigs': to spread the dangerous virus .(2.1)>>Covid was the  e-cigarete vaping deadly flu pneumonia.Cases involved in the outbreak of severe lung illness associated with vaping products were first identified in Illinois and Wisconsin in April 2019.But over in the US, the potential health risks are in the spotlight, where this year there have been 450 reported cases of lung illness tied to vaping.  However, some experts have been doubting if the COVID-19 cases have been mixed among respiratory illnesses which have similar symptoms, including a mysterious e-cigarette-caused lung disease, in the US without being tested out."There must be a possibility," Yang Zhanqiu, deputy director of the pathogen biology department at Wuhan University, told the Global Times on Sunday. "If the US does not look back to detect the novel coronavirus on the influenza patients of last year, the question could not be answered," he said. The symptoms also resemble those caused by the COVID-19. Zhi, also vice president of the Chinese Association on Tobacco Control, questioned the sudden death cases of vaping, implying there might be other causes. He said that it is possible that those who died of vaping could also be affected by flu or coronavirus and called for studies. Symptoms of EVALI include shortness of breath and cough as well as chest pain and fever, which mirror the symptoms of the coronavirus and double the trouble.(3)>>Operation Warp Speed was already in motion in 2019.  Before December 2019, six coronaviruses were known to infect humans. The first two, HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43, were discovered in the 1960s. They cause about 30% of colds, with rare case reports of pneumonia in patients who had other viral infections or were immunocompromised for information. (4)>>Bats are often considered patient zero for many deadly viruses affecting humans. Some bats – including those known to be the original source of human infections – have been shown to host immune systems that are perpetually primed to mount defenses against viruses. Viral infection in these bats leads to a swift response that walls the virus out of cells. While this may protect the bats from getting infected with high viral loads, it encourages these viruses to reproduce more quickly within a host before a defense can be mounted. see👉👉https://www.technologynetworks.com/immunology/news/why-are-bat-viruses-so-deadly-330612 👈👈  (5)>>At WIV Wuhan added bat RNA with HIV qualities. In molecular biology you can currently make all the virus constructions you want. There are rules … But does the whole world follow these rules? It is unlikely … The United States is aware of it but has funded part of the research done in the Wuhan laboratoriesand this is published. So it’s not just a Chinese affair.  👉👉  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15837233/👈👈 These vaccines can be allocated to one of three different platforms: synthetic vaccines based on DNA or RNA; virus-like particles; or inactivated virions or viral vectors expressing part of the SARS-CoV-2 genes10  THE REALITY is that the COVID vaccine may be based on Bat SARS-CoV-2 genes. The idea of injecting a healthy person with the Corona virus will some how be like a signature gnome in the body , so while the vaccine creates anti-bodies that mimic the virus , a carrier , or infected person will not likely get ill . This is the hypothesis how a vaccine works.  (6)>>the American variation of Covid had to have been in the country much earlier , could have been  SARS . The coronavirus was present in the U.S. weeks earlier than scientists and public health officials previously thought, and before cases in China were publicly identified, according to a new government study👉👉 published 👈 last year . BUT I argue that America was hit by SARS and not the China version known to us as "COVID -19" . SARS was already in the nation prior , It also shows the virus's presence in U.S. communities likely didn't start with the first case identified case in January in 2020 . SARS was likely between the years 2018-2019 mistaken for the Influenza outbreak . SINCE the common Flu shares symptoms with the Covid , it would be hard then to distinguish it , remember we had no Covid tests to identify it . (7)>>NOT THE CHINESE COVID VIRUS.  I don't want people to think  I am a racist or such .I LOVE CHINESE PEOPLE and CULTURE . I use the word "Chinese" here to make a separation between the "AMERICAN STRAIN" which was here in the U.S. prior to the Wuhan outbreak . The Chinese variant was deadly to a certain degree , looked similar , but the American variant both products of laboratory manipulation seemed more of a mutation from the China one , it was more deadlier , more contagious .  (8)>>Covid swab test can make errors ? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conflating the results of two different types of coronavirus tests, distorting several important metrics and providing the country with an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic. We’ve learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus. The upshot is that the government’s disease-fighting agency is overstating the country’s ability to test people who are sick with COVID-19. The agency confirmed to The Atlantic  that it is mixing the results of viral and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons. The earlier technical errors meant the daily case totals reported on the government's coronavirus dashboard over the past year MAY have been lower than the numbers for positive results .(8)>>SARS virus escaped from research labs in the early 2000s. Simple explanation. A group of mad scientists with no souls created the COVID-19 virus and the same, said mad scientists with no souls created the vax. Souless creatures need to stop messing with dna or the outcome will be apocalyptic. GMO's, vaccines, wifi, etc have already caused cancer and auto-immune disease rates to sky-rocket. Thank the Lord I'm closer to my way out than my way in to this crazy world. Good luck with all this crazy stuff. Maybe they should just go back and occupy themselves with "reinventing the wheel". It'd be alot safer.(9)>>U.S. biolab experiment like its counterpart in China . Before 1990, there had been only two BSL-4 labs in the United States: one at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta, and another at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (U.S.A.M.R.I.I.D.), in Fort Detrick, Maryland. In the nineteen-nineties, three were added. In the first seven years after 9/11, the United States opened ten more. In a 2007 report, Keith Rhodes, then the chief technologist in the Government Accountability Office (G.A.O.)—the independent watchdog that conducts research for Congress—observed that there was “a major proliferation of high-containment BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs is taking place in the United States.” Rhodes counted fifteen known American BSL-4 labs (including N.B.A.F.) but suggested that there could be others; the number of BSL-3 labs appeared to have increased even more. “No single federal agency knows how many such labs there are in the United States,” Rhodes wrote, and “no one is responsible for determining the aggregate risks associated with the expansion of these high-containment labs.” In theory, the Federal Select Agent Program keeps tabs, since any lab in possession of a substance on its list has to register; a 2017 report from the G.A.O. counted two hundred and seventy-six high-containment select-agent labs in the United States. But the actual number is almost certainly higher, because not every dangerous pathogen is on the federal list.

"TRUMP ACQUITTED AGAIN!"

 (1)>>Historically Nancy Pelosi may have made Donald Trump more popular after she failed to impeach him for a second time,  (2)>>Babylon Bee reports he's the most acquitted president hahahahahahaha.  .Nancy Pelosi holds the record for most failed impeachments of a President. HONESTLY PELOSI gave Trump a political boost for a long political career .Proving that Pelosi helps Trump is a strange twist to a argument. I was ASKED how I felt if Trump pushed the rioters to attack the capital building . PERSONALLY is think there is more to the story .  

Four House Republicans sent a letter to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday, suggesting she may have been involved in delaying the deployment of (3)>>National Guard troops both before and during the Capitol siege, a claim the House speaker’s office quickly bucked as a “partisan” attack. BUT STILL this has to be investigated.

The video  SO evidence of Trump supporters storming the U.S. Capitol, threatening politicians and trying to overturn a democratic election, will probably haunt Trump for as long as people write about American presidents, political analysts and historians said.

 UNDER  

US defamation laws are quite interesting. (4)>>If one is considered a public figure, then the burden of proving defamation is almost impossible. Trump fit this category prior to becoming the president, and will continue to be categorized by it despite the fact that he’s no longer in office. Also, political speech is protected by the first amendment. Winning a defamation suit would also chill free speech criticism of elected officials. Even if he was able to somehow win initially, it would almost certainly be overturned on appeal.  NOW If I had a dime for every time I've heard that said about either of the big two[Democrats and Republicans] . The whole reason the two parties are set up the way they are as "polar opposites" is to make it impossible to "never return." A "moderate republican" isn't going to start voting democrat just because they don't like Trump. A gun rights supporter might deregister from the republican party but they're not going to vote for a gun control candidate because they "don't like how the GOP is with Trump." That's not how it's ever worked. In fact, when push comes to shove we just saw how they'll even go so far as to vote for Trump instead of the democrat. Trump got the second highest number of votes in US history.The immediate aftermath of Trump's trial has underscored just how difficult it will be for the GOP to break from Trump as the party charts its path forward. The round of recriminations over Trump has Republicans who are tasked with winning back the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections[Yeah, apparently rumor has it that McCarthy met with him to discuss getting him into Congress and then becoming Speaker in 2022. Lol!]   concerned it could distract from the party's ability to focus on defeating Democrats and regaining power in Washington.

NOTES AND COMMENTS: 

(1)>>Historically Nancy Pelosi may have made Donald Trump more popular. This common knowledge – that a Republican-controlled Senate would never vote to eject Trump – has gone missing among some US Democrats. In March last year, Nancy Pelosi, the veteran Democratic leader of the House, advised her fellow Democrats against impeachment: “I don’t think we should go down that path.” After three years of declaring Trump an existential threat to the nation, Pelosi knew that the Democrats would only help the president if they took action that was not only guaranteed to fail to remove him, but which would allow Trump to reprise his favourite role: Phoenix Rising from the Headlines. In 2001, the historian Perry Anderson argued that critics of US empire should have embraced the impeachment of Bill Clinton: any body blow against the imperial presidency was surely something good for the rest of the world. Today, liberals and legal scholars argue that impeachment will at least weaken the forward march of Trumpism.  (2)>>Babylon Bee reports he's the most acquitted president hahahahahahaha. 👉👉https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-now-most-acquitted-president-in-history 👈👈  The U.S. Senate’s voted on Saturday to acquit former President Donald Trump, following the House’s impeachment of Trump last month, played out almost exactly as expected —So Mitch delays in moving ahead with an impeachment trial while trump is in office, forcing the trial to occur after he’s out of office. Then he says he’s guilty but can’t convict because he’s no longer in office. 🤔Mitch McConnell's words don't seem to match up with how he voted....It's how you know they're all sociopaths. Every one of them have more in common with each other than they do with the rest of us. They represent their corporate interests and lobbyists at the expense of the 'real individual person'. It's always us against them and and we the people stagnate. Any concessions made to us are purely coincidental.(3)>>National Guard troops both before and during the Capitol siege. Investigations are imminent, to determine whether the Capitol Police were undermanned and unprepared for the threat posed by two days of rallies against the results of the 2020 election, but the answer as to why troops posted blocks away were unable to respond to the siege is as simple ― or as complicated ― as a morass of bureaucracy.Simply put, the National Guard only shows up to D.C. when they’ve been invited, and the Capitol Police did not extend that invitation until after the breach, according to a source with knowledge of the process, who was not authorized to speak about it on the record.(4)>>If one is considered a public figure. Just two months ago, he seemed poised to be a powerful force in American politics even after his November defeat. He was still beloved by Republicans, feared and respected by the party's politicians and viewed positively by nearly half of Americans, according to public opinion surveys.Stripped of his presidential powers and silenced by social media, he faces daunting challenges, both legal and financial. Can he still plot a successful political comeback? Will a Mar-a-Lago exile be his Elba or St Helena? And who might the tens of millions of Americans who supported him turn to instead?Everyone knows Donald Trump is not going away. He will try to be back in the spotlight as soon as he can. And, in true Trumpian form, he will try over time to exact revenge on those he perceives as having been disloyal to him. If he is able to rerun for office, he will. He is an attack dog, and an attack dog has no conscience. What happened on Jan. 6 and the days leading up to it — an American president spending weeks trying to reverse the results of a free and fair election, culminating in his supporters storming the U.S. Capitol to try to keep him in power by force — was so shocking that it seemed at least possible (if unlikely) that it would break the pattern. Could Republicans stick with Trump again? And if they did, wouldn’t Democrats try to shame GOP senators as much as possible?

Censorship & Social Media Giants .

The most chilling suggestion, however, comes from the politicians and academics who have called for the censorship of social media and the internet. The only thing spreading faster than the coronavirus has been censorship and the loud calls for more restrictions on free speech.
*************************

Social Media Censorship ..Many groups across the political spectrum feel their opinions and perspectives are under siege when social media platforms moderate content, researchers say, but it’s difficult to make the case that these platforms are biased against any one group since the platforms disclose so little about how they decide what content is allowed and what is not.  Banning Trump seems to have set off a domino effect on controlling speech . Even is speech is offensive or insightful , where does it (1)>>fall for the first Amendment ? Big Tech is now full of "Fact Checkers" who tag items as false or misleading. BUT who has ever heard of this in 40 years ? This is  how fat we have gotten.The most chilling suggestion, however, comes from the politicians and academics who have called for the censorship of social media and the internet. The only thing spreading faster than the coronavirus has been censorship and  (1.2)>>the loud calls for more restrictions on free speech. The Atlantic recently published an article by Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith and University of Arizona law professor Andrew Keane Woods calling for Chinese style censorship of the internet. Conservatives are crying foul. I am alarmed by the recent social media censorship of the right in America.  (1.3)>>Left or right, you should oppose censorship of the "other team", unless you want to be next in line. Your neighbor with a different point of view is not your enemy. Recent events were knowingly provoked by social media hype, and the same social media companies are now using those events as an excuse to de-platform those who were provoked and incited via their platforms, for their profit. In the last few years, their business has been to promote and monetize social division and antagonism, whether it started out that way or not. They must be aware that recent acts of censorship and de platforming are just further provocations.  (2)>>Someone wants people to kickback and they will use that reaction to justify a bigger clamp down and even more censorship. Then governments will step in with draconian legislation, and the walls will be closing in from all sides. Many people have questioned whether Twitter and Facebook could do this and if such censorship constituted violations of President Trump’s First Amendment rights.  (3)>>The Day Donald Trump was cut off from Twitter. For example, Twitter locked his account because some of his Tweets violated Twitter’s rules, such as its Civil Integrity or Violent Threat policies. Twitter said that his account would be locked until 12 hours following his removal of three specific Tweets and that continued Twitter policy violations could result in a permanent suspension of his Twitter account. Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi, a prominent critic of internet censorship, warned, “Welcome to our language-policed future.” A 2020 study by the Pew Research Center reported that a majority of Americans believe social media companies censor political views. Pew found that 90% of Republicans believed views were being censored, and 69% of Republicans or people who leant Republican believed social media companies “generally support the views of liberals over conservatives”. Republicans including Trump have pushed to  (4)>>repeal section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects social media companies from legal liability, claiming it allows platforms to suppress conservative voices. Republican state lawmakers in North Dakota want Facebook and Twitter to face lawsuits from users who have been "censored." A bill submitted by the six legislators  LAST MONTH  is titled, "an Act to permit civil actions against social media sites for censoring speech." It says that social media websites with over 1 million users would be "liable in a civil action for damages to the person whose speech is restricted, censored, or suppressed, and to any person who reasonably otherwise would have received the writing, speech, or publication." Payouts for "censored" users would include "treble damages for compensatory, consequential, and incidental damages." Even if passed by the North Dakota Legislature, the bill would likely have no effect due to a conflict with federal law. The proposed law "would immediately be deemed void as preempted by Section 230 [of the Communications Decency Act]," because "federal law is supreme over state law where they conflict, and this would create an express conflict," attorney Akiva Cohen wrote in a Twitter thread about the bill.

Censoring any information regarding the Covid Virus .  

Last YEAR WE saw social media trying to remove any kind of " alternative" information that challenged the origin of the corona virus . There was an entire year of cover up's that started . Still continue . Last January immediately after the first virus outbreak in America .  (5)>>BUT the Censorship started in China before the US media went along with it . Back in February, following the death of  (6)>>Li Wenliang, the Chinese doctor who warned about the impending pandemic, Chinese authorities scrambled to censor online conversation of his passing and its surrounding circumstances. In Russia, the Kremlin used existing laws to demand that social media platforms, even some based in the US, remove posts that criticized the government’s coronavirus response or even contested its very likely downplayed infection counts. These technical capabilities, already established in the respective countries, were quickly mobilized against truthful coronavirus information to protect the regime. IN the UK censorship the BBC reported  that the UK government is cracking down on misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic. This is taking the form of ‘a rapid response unit within the Cabinet Office [that] is working with social media firms to remove fake news and harmful content.’ As ever ‘harmful’ is undefined, but the government seems worried that people could die as a result of being misinformed. FACEBOOK has been at the center of "censorship" for a year . (7)>>Journalist Glenn Greenwald is blasting Facebook for its decision to crackdown on users posting comments about the coronavirus vaccine that undermine official information being provided by “authorities.” Greenwald, a Pulitzer-prize winning reporter, said social media giants like Facebook are under immense pressure from mainstream media outlets to censor dissenting opinion. Cited by numerous publications, including The New York Times, Bloomberg News and Politico, the study underscores some of our assertions concerning the fascist and extreme right-wing ramifications of the pandemic. This timely and very important study will be referenced in future discussion of the psychological, sociological and socio-economic aspects of the Covid-19 outbreak.

Censoring THOSE WHO DISPUTE ELECTION RESULTS .

BUT let's just look at this right here  here's  I JUST I googled for you censorship because i know it's difficult to do it says right here the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books films news etc that are considered obscene politically unacceptable or a threat to security okay there's one definition let's go ahead and look at the ALCU definition of censorship it says right here ALCU  censorship the suppression of words images or ideas that are offensive happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others so it doesn't have to do with the government the government censoring is against the first amendment that is legally and cons it's unconstitutional for the government to do it but censorship cons it happens in many forms . (8)>>Fact Checkers were busy through November and January "checking" on anyone who disputed the election result . Many people on social media posts were "tagged" as "false information". Incredible as it seems .YouTube for example , In a blog post, YouTube said content “that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome” of the presidential election will be removed.  I disputed the election my self , what I saw was the all major news media calling Biden the winner why before there was a actual count of the mail in ballots -absentee . Many people did oppose the results posted their own opinions we wrongfully tagged . According to social analytics platforms such as NewsWhip and CrowdTangle, however, claims about voting irregularities have become among the most-shared content on Facebook.  Once the election was called for Biden, the top performing posts briefly changed: where Bongino, for instance, had been in the top 10 for the previous 37 days, the top performing posts on 7 November were led by the New York Times, CNN and NPR; the day after, CNN and NPR between them occupied seven of the top 10 slots.That marked shift caused some, such as Mother Jones editor-in-chief Clara Jeffery, to wonder if Facebook had deliberately altered its algorithm to curry favour with the Biden administration. Others argued that it was more likely just a rare burst of activity from happy leftwing users on the site.

Censoring anti-Vaccination opinions.

 (9)>>NOW that there are three different COVID vaccines . There has been a effort to mass vaccinate a great number of people at a time . I pointed that out in my blog explaining the coming Vaccine quagmire in a early post . (9.1)>>Rushing the vaccine should give anyone any questions , its their own right . I am a anti-vex'er I admit it here . NOW their justification for that is the danger of “fake news” about coronavirus risks and cures. Yet this is only the latest rationalization for rolling back free speech rights. For years, Democratic leaders in Congress called for censorship of “fake news” on social media sites. Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have all engaged in increasing levels of censorship and have a well known reputation for targeting conservative speech. BUT we have been getting bits and pieces of "news" that the vaccine does have some serious side effects , this has happened to people who have taken the second dose of the Covid vaccine. Again not much has been said because the government now wants a lot of people to get the shot in the arm , but as I saying , the vaccination efforts can turn ugly later by forcing people to have it regardless if they don't want it . From the UK social media giants agreed a package of measures with ministers to tackle anti-vaccine misinformation.  (10)>>Facebook, Twitter and Google promised to “step up work with public health bodies to promote factual and reliable messages” and committed to “swifter responses to flagged content”. "Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, big tech has made bold claims of intent, but failed to follow through with effective action. It is vital that there are sanctions when social media companies fail to fulfil their duty of care to users and society at large. The government must stop falling for big tech’s excuses, and introduce financial and criminal penalties for failures that lead to serious harm.

GROWING MEDIA DIVISIVE  BIAS.

This subjectivity of censorship is why the cure is worse than the illness. The best cure for bad speech is more speech rather than regulation. Trump’s unique approach to social media has largely been attributed to his troublesome relationship with what is considered by many to be the (11)>>“mainstream media.” He has continuously attacked the media for bias and claimed they treat him extremely unfairly. This leads to a greater philosophical question of whether President Trump is correct in asserting that the media have been biased in their reporting about him. If so, is it reasonable to expect news networks to be 100% free of any and all bias? Another important question to be asked is what is the impact of biased news coverage? Could partisanship or polarization be impacted by bias?Most U.S. news organizations have evolved from serious fact-based reporting to what is now opinion-based reporting designed to entertain and push their own agendas. Our country is becoming more divided, and  (12)>>I am convinced the news media is a major factor in the current levels of hostility. The news media should not be a propaganda arm for a political party or candidate. Media executives, journalists, producers and writers should not be in the business of skewing the facts to push their own agenda and sensationalize news.Since 1994, the number of Americans who see the opposing political party as a threat to “the nation’s well-being” has doubled. This deepening polarization has predictable results: government shutdowns, violent protests, and scathing attacks on elected officials.Perceptions of media credibility have dropped since 2016, according to Morning Consult analysis, largely fueled by Republican attitudes. Democrats and Republicans also tend to trust headlines from outlets that society considers closer to their ideology, although that changes by topic.Different medias have different biases. For example, Fox News is said to be right-leaning, whereas CNN is said to be more left-leaning. (13)>>But ultimately, everything is biased. Everyone has opinions, and their opinions inevitably bleed into what they produce. And there is nothing inherently wrong with bias, as long as there's a certain honesty about it.

NOTES AND COMMENTS:  (1)>>fall for the first Amendment ? Big Tech is now full of "Fact Checkers".The fact-check labels, for instance, seem like an obvious fix — tell people that what they are seeing is wrong — but that feature has a cascading effect that warps the perception of every piece of content in a user’s feed. In fact, the sights of the broader fact-checking movement often seem to be set on something different than strict truth and falsehood. And by acknowledging that, the fact-checkers might grapple with some important questions about the project in which they’re engaged—and might see more clearly the box in which they’ve trapped themselves.But while the language of fact-checking is powerful, it’s also limited—and the fact-checkers’ tendency to stretch that language beyond its limitations undermines the credibility of their project.(1.2)>>the loud calls for more restrictions on free speech. In reporting a statement from an official of a civil liberties group, U.S.News & World Report made the comment: “Cyberspace [computer networks] may give freedom of speech more muscle than the First Amendment does. Indeed, it may already ‘have become literally impossible for a government to shut people up.’” One point of regular debate is whether there is a free speech breaking point, a line at which the hateful or harmful or controversial nature of speech should cause it to lose constitutional protection under the First Amendment. But apart from those exceptions, the Supreme Court has held strongly to the view that our nation believes in the public exchange of ideas and open debate, that the response to offensive speech is to speak in response. The dichotomy—society generally favoring free speech, but individuals objecting to the protection of particular messages—and the debate over it seem likely to continue unabated. (1.3)>>Left or right, you should oppose censorship of the "other team". The common enemy is the Federal government who is the bitch of conglomerate and Big Biz. Big Tech was trying to take away free speech before this Trump's disputing voting incident. There were videos and documentaries about it and things that happened in that Arab Spring movement are part of the excuse Big Tech is using. We need to kick BigTech to the curb. Because of anti-trust/monopoly laws never being enforced, BigTech keeps growing. Even if you stopped all Google, Twitter, and Facebook, Amazon owns most of the servers in the USA, I heard. That part of its co. is called AWS. Anytime Amazon dislikes a site, it can kick it off of their servers. Besides, what if a virus hits AWS and takes them out?! Isn't that close to this stupid "too big to fail" crap?! An AWS worm/virus could take out half of the internet Americans use.  (2)>>Someone wants people to kickback and they will use that reaction to justify a bigger clamp down and even more censorship. Regarding the media coup, it seems that the conservative movement, the Republican party in particular, have put out in front as their spokesmans, people who who are in place to deflect attention away from the real power behind what’s happening. That is vis a vis, people who appear to be, and can be attacked as being, incompetent, thus giving the appearance that the Republican party is falling to pieces, when my own feelings are that nothing could be further from the truth. It is also very interesting that the “progressive” voices in the media seem to be swallowing this hook line and sinker.” . . . . Facebook is partnering with the Atlantic Council in another effort to combat election-related propaganda and misinformation from proliferating on its service. The social networking giant said  that a partnership with the Washington D.C.-based think tank would help it better spot disinformation during upcoming world elections. The partnership is one of a number of steps Facebook is taking to prevent the spread of propaganda and fake news after failing to stop it from spreading on its service in the run up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. ..(3)>>The Day Donald Trump was cut off from Twitter . Facebook and Instagram suspended Trump at least until Inauguration Day. Twitch and Snapchat also disabled Trump’s accounts. To top it all off, Twitter ended a nearly 12-year run and shuttered his account, severing an instant line of communication to his 89 million followers. Many of Twitter’s more than 5,400 employees opposed having Mr. Trump on the platform.It's really strange to see people making this point over and over again as if it's literally moral that two billionaires control modern methods of communication. And it's not like they invented any of it, that shit just rose up with the Internet and they happened to own the most popular platforms when the dust settled. I ain't saying they shouldn't have blocked Trump, and I'm definitely not saying that I'm not happy about it, but it's strange seeing people be so flippant over the fact that our main methods of mass communication exist beyond the control of government and all the rules and laws that regulate government.The decision was a punctuation mark on the Trump presidency that immediately drew accusations of political bias and fresh scrutiny of the tech industry’s power over public discourse. Interviews with a dozen current and former Twitter insiders over the past week opened a window into how it was made — driven by a group of Dorsey’s lieutenants who overcame their boss’ reservations, but only after a deadly rampage at the Capitol.  saying he had broken the site’s rules by inciting violence. Facebook did the same, indefinitely, and Instagram (which Facebook owns) banned Trump for at least the duration of his term. Amazon made similar moves by kicking Parler, an alternative social media platform favored by right-wing groups, off its servers, causing the site to go dark. Reddit, Snapchat, Twitch, and many other platforms made similar moves to limit or ban Trump’s content.So, is Twitter a public entity that doesn’t deserve the protections of the First Amendment? No, that’s silly — but there’s at least some irony in this idea coming back to haunt internet companies. Social media giants including Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit have long sold a vision of themselves as exalted public squares. In this vision, they bring people together across the world and even lift them up from the poverty of being disconnected, ensuring them the right to free expression. Facebook still tries to appear neutral on policing speech. In a public address on free speech last year, Zuckerberg said that Facebook doesn’t fact-check political ads because it’s not “right for a private company to censor politicians or the news in democracy.” As Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey took on Trump this week, Zuckerberg knocked his rival on Fox News. “We have a different policy than Twitter on this,” Zuckerberg said, even though the company’s policies aren’t really that different. “I believe strongly that Facebook shouldn’t be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online.” (4)>>repeal section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 is a US law enacted in 1996 that says providers and users of interactive computer services shall not be held liable for "any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected." (5)>>BUT the Censorship started in China before the US media went along with it. In late LAST March, the U.S. became the global epicenter of the pandemic. As the virus devastated healthcare systems and communities across the country, questions and rumors surrounding the origin of COVID-19 were propagated by leaders in the U.S. and China, straining relations between the two countries. Censored content in this period includes  so called conspiracy theories, ANY criticism of China’s political system, critical and neutral references to China-US relations, and U.S. domestic politics was silenced by the American Media . As Pres. Trump was accused of bias towards Asians . Trump repeatedly challenged the media by calling the Covid virus that " Wuhan or China Virus" .  Social Media immediately tried to block any references that the virus was any kind of bio weapon. OR EVEN ANY SPECULATION of it being SO. (6)>>Li Wenliang, the Chinese doctor. His death was confirmed by the Wuhan hospital where he worked and was being treated, following conflicting reports about his condition on state media.Dr Li, 34, tried to send a message to fellow medics about the outbreak at the end of December. Three days later police paid him a visit and told him to stop. He returned to work and caught the virus from a patient. He had been in hospital for at least three weeks.He posted his story from his hospital bed last month on social media site Weibo. "Hello everyone, this is Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital," the post begins. (7)>>Journalist Glenn Greenwald is blasting Facebook.  Journalist Glenn Greenwald is blasting Facebook for its choice to crackdown on customers posting feedback concerning the coronavirus vaccine that undermine official info being offered by “authorities.”Greenwald, a Pulitzer-prize successful reporter, stated social media giants like Facebook are below immense stress from mainstream media shops to censor dissenting opinion.Greenwald stated the concept that Facebook would stifle dissent concerning the vaccine is “extra pernicious than opinion-based censorship.”“The whole lot they do​,​ these liberal guardians of ​orthodoxy and piety​,​ is about attempting to make you suppose that they’ve a monopoly on goal fact by calling it ‘science.’ Science is a human examine​,​ which implies it’s fallible​,​ and precisely as you stated, this can be very harmful to say that any type of human information is so unchallengeable to being mentioned that it’s off-limits from even being questioned​,” he stated.  (8)>>Fact Checkers were busy through November and January "checking" on anyone who disputed the election result .  The modern-day fact checking movement can be dated back to the presidency of Ronald Reagan, who attracted widespread ridicule for his claim that trees cause four times more pollution than automobiles. The ascent of political bloggers during the 2004 campaign put additional pressure on The Post and other mainstream news outlets to upgrade their fact checking operations. The Internet has democratized the fact-checking process by making information that was previously available only through expensive news databases such as Lexis-Nexis easily accessible to bloggers without any research budget. The fact checking movement has provided journalists with an additional tool for exposing political spin and increasingly sophisticated media manipulation techniques. In order to make the most effective use of this tool, however, fact checkers need to ally themselves more closely with readers, a source of invaluable expertise. Future directions for fact-checking include “crowd sourcing,” “audience integration,” and the creation of networks of authoritative experts. (9)>>NOW that there are three different COVID vaccines . In the eleven months elapsed since the identification of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its genome, an exceptional effort by the scientific community has led to the development of over 300 vaccine projects. Over 40 are now undergoing clinical evaluation, ten of these are in Phase III clinical trials, three of them have ended Phase III with positive results. A few of these new vaccines are being approved for emergency use. Existing data suggest that new vaccine candidates may be instrumental in protecting individuals and reducing the spread of pandemic. The conceptual and technological platforms exploited are diverse, and it is likely that different vaccines will show to be better suited to distinct groups of the human population.(9.1)>>Rushing the vaccine should give anyone any questions , its their own right .More than 35 million Americans have received Covid vaccines, but the much-touted system the government designed to monitor any dangerous reactions won’t be capable of analyzing safety data for weeks or months, according to numerous federal health officials.For now, federal regulators are counting on a patchwork of existing programs that they acknowledge are inadequate because of small sample size, missing critical data or other problems. This doesn't mean the risks are zero, so in the very rare cases where the risks happen, like the anaphylaxes in 1/1,000,000 kids in prior vaccines, those super rare cases are compensated and they certainly don't negate the positive results for the vast majority of everyone else.Here is an excerpt from a recent article in Nature: "A possible concern could be that some mRNA-based vaccine platforms54,166 induce potent type I interferon responses, which have been associated not only with inflammation but also potentially with autoimmunity167,168." OP was not inaccurate in saying there is a possible connection between mrna technology and automimmune issues. Is there specific evidence of causation yet? No. But lack of evidence is not the same as proof of no connection.  (10)>>Facebook, Twitter and Google promised to “step up work with public health bodies to promote factual and reliable messages”. Many of us in the free speech community have warned about the growing insatiable appetite for censorship in the West. Yet we have been losing the fight, and free speech opponents are now capitalizing on the opportunity presented by the pandemic. Representative Adam Schiff👉👉 sent a message to the executives of Google, Twitter, and YouTube demanding censorship of anything deemed “misinformation” and “false information.” Yet YouTube did exactly that a few days earlier by removing two videos of California doctors who called for the easing of state lockdown orders.  (11)>>“mainstream media.”    Most of the people who think the media is "Liberal" think that unions are communist. Not that they could define those words without a dictionary. But they sure do sound good and scary. NOW if you actually measured the "truthfulness" of any media outlet you should expect variation month-to-month and variation between outlets with identical political views.The only news I believe is wild speculation,  conspiracy theories, and anecdotal evidence with nothing credible to back it up. If you can't confirm it, it means the Lame Stream Media has covered up the evidence and it must be true! RIGHT NOW, the last four years back the media was dominated by Trump scandals .  Right now were now seeing that COVID took over as the dominate there "scare" tactic of the mainstream media to polarize Americans who are delusional to begin with . Also the more people complain about the mainstream media, the more likely they are turning to even more fringe partisan rags for information. Sharing YouTube videos and tweets as reliable sources.  (12)>>I am convinced the news media is a major factor in the current levels of hostility. From 2017 mainstream media fueled a anti-Trump bias from the start , but gradually by 2020 the focus was the BLM " social Justice" riots . How far did the media provoked the unrest . Media was in support of the riots , using the "terms" peacful protesters . Remember that "Capitol chaos" "Trump supporters storm chambers, lawmakers evacuated!" Where were these blaring headlines when the Black Lives Matter/Antifa mobs were rioting, looting and destroying businesses and police property? Where was Biden's outrage then? The media blamed Trump for police brutality , the murder of George Floyd . Yet, the average thinking person knows that Trump was not responsible for the riots that hit nation last year .Violence, whether from the left or the right, is never acceptable!  Trump did not want what happened at the D.C. rally to evolve into what happened in the halls of Congress. This was perhaps a boiling point that derived from the BLM riots .  (13)>>But ultimately, everything is biased. Which means we are not getting the whole picture of news and events in our world. How do you get a more complete picture? Seek out sources that challenge your bias. In other words, get your news from the spectrum of bias: conservative, liberal and centrist sources.

“I believe it’s so vital to acknowledge that Silicon Valley firms are usually not those who wish to do that​.​ ​T​hey would relatively keep as far-off from censoring​,​ and arbitrating​,​ and intervening​,​ and retaining individuals off their platforms, not as a result of they’re noble and good​,​ however as a result of it’s of their enterprise self-interest to not do it​.​ ​They’re being pressured to do it​,” he told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night.
