The Incredible Vanishing Flu - American Thinker
The Incredible Vanishing Flu - American Thinker
As tracked by the CDC, over the past decade symptomatic flu cases ranged from 9 to 45 million cases per year in the US. Hospitalizations varied from 140 to 810 thousand, and deaths from 12 to 61 thousand, depending on the particular year, strain of influenza, and effectiveness of the vaccine.
"Seasonal influenza, also known as “the flu,” visits America every year, similar to tornados, thunderstorms, heat waves, and snowstorms.
This year, “flu activity is unusually low at this time” according to CDC surveillance.
- Since late September 2020, they recorded only about 2000 cases, a minute fraction of the tens of millions of cases in past years.
Hospitalizations this flu season are minimal with only 224 confirmed influenza hospitalizations from September 2020 to mid-April 202, nowhere near the hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations in past seasons.
Deaths are harder to measure since the CDC conveniently changed how deaths are characterized this past year.
Instead of pneumonia, influenza, and COVID being in separate categories, now it’s called PIC, lumping the three entities together...Read all.

...He needs to get to firing.
"When President DeSantis is sworn in at 12:00 pm on January 20, 2025, he should give a short speech and by 12:10 be firing people.
Lots of people.
Okay, it might not be the current Florida governor – we do know it’s not going to be Gov. Nikki! Haley (R – Establishment) or Kristi! Noem (R-NCAA) – but whoever beats Kamala Harris like a drum needs to come into the Oval Office ready to clear-cut the bureaucracy.
Just level it.
Every keen observer understands that Donald Trump’s first and foremost failure as president was personnel.
And right away.
He needs to fire Christopher Wray at the FBI and most of the failed Bureau’s leadership.
He needs to fire much of the Justice Department, in particular the Stasi cells that are persecuting political opponents of the Asterisk regime.
And he needs to combine this with pardons, lots of pardons, to ensure their outrageous attempts to punish and silence conservatives come to naught.
...Then he needs to rampage through the rest of the bureaucracy, firing to and fro.
The libs will howl – let them.
MSNBCNN and the WaPo will scream that President DeSantis is creating a conservative bureaucracy – and he will be.
Own it.
We tried a neutral bureaucracy devoted to the country first and that didn’t work, so we'll take the second-best option, which is one that supports our policies.
Time to play by the new rules, and those are the new rules, folks – we didn’t make them, but we need to play by them."

Kamala Harris: Latin America Needs 'Climate Adaptation' to End Border Crisis
Kamala Harris: Latin America Needs 'Climate Adaptation' to End Border Crisis:
Vice President Kamala Harris promised Central American countries to work with them to battle climate change in a speech on Tuesday, in the hopes of slowing the migrant crisis.
The vice president spoke about climate change as a “root cause” of the migrant crisis, during a virtual speech to the Washington Conference on the Americas citing the lack of “climate adaptation,” and “climate resilience” in the region.
"Unreported" because the media blocks most commentary!-----After Masks and Lockdowns, Here Come the 'Vaccines' | The Pipeline
After Masks and Lockdowns, Here Come the 'Vaccines' | The Pipeline
- We have been wearing masks for over a year.
- We have been quarantined in government facilities and in our homes.
- We have been rigorously locked-down in a futile attempt to control a virus that is clearly unimpressed by our efforts.
...Yet the negative side of these disparate vaccines has gone largely unreported.
While assuring us that pharmaceutical tests have been professionally run on the whole, New York Times reporter Alex Berenson writes in Unreported Truths about COVID-19 that “the companies failed to test the vaccine on the ‘right’ people—the people at high risk of dying from Covid.
They failed to prove that it actually reduced deaths, leaving a tragic hole in our medical and scientific knowledge.”
Berenson mentions “realistic theories about possible long-run harms from the vaccines, such as the risk that they can lead to a dangerous rebound effect on people who later become infected with COVID.”
In Berenson’s judgment, “regulators failed at every point in the development of these vaccines—the preclinical work, the major clinical trials, and the approval process”—though he gives them the benefit of the doubt, owing to the pressures they were under and still recommends that people be vaccinated. Nonetheless, all the vaccines accomplished was to “reduce moderate illnesses in people who were at low risk from COVID anyway.”
...The ramifications of the vaccines are far worse than that...Read all!

"The small town of Noto, Ishikawa has received millions of Yen due to the impact of COVID-19.
The funds were allocated as part of a project to help in the aftermath of the pandemic.
According to Yahoo News Japan, local governments like Noto’s are allowed to use the money in whatever way they deem necessary.
Noto is known for squid, specifically flying squid, which is considered a delicacy, and approximately 25 million Yen ($228,181) of the funds were set aside for a huge squid monument.

Purging Whiteness to Purge Capitalism - Mike Gonzalez & Jonathan Butcher
"Race is suddenly all the rage.
Employees, students, and parents are being inundated with “anti-racism” training programs and school curricula that insist America was built on white supremacy.
Anyone who raises even the slightest objection is often deemed irredeemably racist.
- But what if the impetus behind a particular type of race-based training programs and curricula we see spreading at the moment is not exclusively, or even primarily, about skin color?
- What if race is just a façade for a particular strain of thought?
- What if what stands behind all this is the old, color-blind utopian dream of uniting the “workers of the world,” and eradicating capitalism?
CRT, after all, does nothing to remedy racial disparities...Read all.

Biden's Open Border Is Fueling the 'Deadliest Drug Epidemic in U.S. History'
Biden's Open Border Is Fueling the 'Deadliest Drug Epidemic in U.S. History'
"As PJ Media has reported this week, the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border is worsening.
A dozen Texas counties, many of them not directly situated on the border, have declared emergencies due to the explosive increase in human trafficking that the open border is facilitating.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that the open border is facilitating an additional outbreak of lawlessness. The opioid fentanyl is now flooding across the border.
A porous border and weak security ties with Mexico have resulted in large influxes of fentanyl, a highly addictive and lethal drug, across the southern border. Between October 2020 and March 2021, customs agents seized more than 2.5 tons of fentanyl—a more than 300 percent year-on-year increase. Since 2019, cartels have enjoyed soaring profits due to increased demand for the drug in the United States. More than 90,000 Americans overdosed on illicit drugs last year.
Biden’s policies have led directly to weakening cooperation between American and Mexican drug interdiction agencies.
Fentanyl is one of the primary drugs flooding across the border...Read all.
