Getting back to bacterial pneumonia, then. It is an opportunistic disease that attacks those with weakened immune systems. In 1918 the flu virus kicked the hell out of peoples immune system, paving the way for pneumonia to kill them. This had absolutely nothing to do with masks.

Per the NIH:

The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs

That Masks make a great breeding ground for bacteria is the point they and others were trying to make.

Fauci showed the connection between viruses weakening the immune system and leaving the upper respiratory tract susceptible to infection, then he mandates masks, and now there are connections between wearing masks and pneumonia infections. Does this mean he has some kind of ulterior motive for mandating masks? Probably not. I agree the phrasing in the meme or tweet might make it seem Von Reitz is making an accusation, but the premise is valid. Prolonged use of a mask, and/or improper cleaning of one's masks, or discarded masks may be big sources of pneumonia bacteria.

Of note: it is that the misuse (not using clean masks) or prolonged use that makes it a breeding ground for bacteria. Bacteria pneumonia is commonly present in the nose.

As far as cloth masks being a contributing factor during the Spanish Flu, who can say? I bet it's more than 0%, but less than 100%. Not like the CDC and NIH act in our interest anyway. But it's an intriguing thought. Nonetheless, our bodies need oxygen, and the masks don't help.

Reports from within the medical reporting system VAERS say that deaths following vaccination now exceed 1500 and serious injuries number over 4,000 (as of this week). Of course, the medical system never admits there is a correlation between those deaths and the vaccine, but the circumstances of the sudden damage to life and health within hours or a few days of the vaccine is itself a powerful correlation that deserves serious investigation.

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defe ... rs-climbs/

Children’s Health Defense reported last week that,
About a third of the deaths reported occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, and 48% of the people who died became ill within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

About 21% of the deaths were cardiac-related. As The Defender reported last month, the spike protein that the body is instructed to make by mRNA vaccines like those developed by Pfizer and Moderna have the potential to cause microvascular injury (inflammation and small blood clots called microthrombi) to the heart, brain, liver and kidneys in ways that were not assessed in the safety trials.

Of the reported deaths, 966 were reported in the U.S. and 129 outside the U.S. The average age of the deceased was 77.8, the youngest was 23. Of those who died, 53% were male, 46% female and 1% of the reports did not include gender. Of those who died, 56% received the Pfizer vaccine, and 43% got the Moderna vaccine.

The number of serious adverse events reports increased by 641 this week, to a total of 3,767 between Dec. 14, 2020, and Feb. 18. Adverse reaction reports from the latest CDC data include:

160 reports of adverse reactions affecting pregnancy, including 47 miscarriages/preterm births, 1,135 anaphylactic reactions, 64% of which were reported after a Pfizer vaccine and 35% after the Moderna vaccine. 257 reports of Bell’s palsy (Pfizer 71%; Moderna: 29%)

By comparison, during the same time period — Dec. 14, 2020 – Feb. 18, 2021 — VAERS received reports of 83 deaths following flu vaccines.

Also to note, that the flu vaccination rate usually hovers close to 50%.. meaning ~150 million people get it a year....

Good data, but You forgot to include the rest of the data in the article, namely:

1. 20,000 total adverse events reported, with 13,000 of those either not serious or resolved without hospitalization.
2. The remaining 7000 includes those who went to the hospital, or died.
3. Meanwhile, over 57 million people received the vaccine.
4. If you include the entire 20,000 reported events, and consider the 57 million vaccinated, that’s .035%
5. if you include just those who were hospitalized or died, that’s 0.012%

But there have been reports of zero deaths or injury, where clearly this isn't the case.

As someone who has tried to report my anthrax injury, there are many hurdles in reporting.

From my perspective, there are people getting jabbed at work, and most of them experience discomfort and illness. They all say get the shot on Friday so you're not sick at work. They don't mind getting sick from the jab 'cause COVID must be worse. And my employer offers two hours of compensation for each jab.

I was looking up Don McAlvany and there's no surprise to his stance.

You sound like an intelligent person, and I’m betting you don’t buy that incredible load of horseshit in that link

I'm no Anthrax expert, but I will agree that vaccine was BS, particularly after the (unauthorized) production changes.

I subscribed to Don McAlvany several decades ago and trust his judgement. He's the one who got me turned on to Joel Skousen.

What in the article do you have a disagreement with?

The article is chock full of unsupported claims. I prefer to deal on facts, supported by evidence. Unsupported claims are just opinions and bullshit in my book

Here are a few of the completely unsupported claims


DO NOT TAKE THE COVID VACCINE

by Don McAlvany on February 18, 2021 in Publisher’s Corner
I have a word of caution for you and all the children and staff [of sponsored ministries]. Do not take the Covid vaccine. It is very dangerous and will kill (actually is killing) many people—most of them perfectly healthy before they took the vaccine. Covid infections and deaths have been dramatically exaggerated (overstated) by governments and their controlled media who want more power (control) over their people. Most people who test positive (over 95%) never get sick. Most people who do get sick (over 95%) get well. Very old people (already in poor health) are the main ones who get really sick with Covid or die. Children almost never get sick with Covid.

Covid is a manmade virus, made in the Wuhan Biological Warfare Laboratory in Wuhan China and intentionally released. The World Health Organization (WHO) and certain powerful people and groups in America cooperated in the development of the Virus. The evil purpose behind this virus (and others that will be released) is people control all over the world and global population reduction which will be accomplished via poisoned vaccines.

The vaccines that are being administered around the world have a gene modifier inserted in them that will sterilize the person vaccinated. That means they will never have children. The World Health Organization experimented with this three or four years ago when they vaccinated 700,000 girls and young women in Kenya with a tetanus vaccine. Five Kenyan doctors became suspicious that something was wrong with the vaccine, got samples of it and sent them to five laboratories around the world. All of them proved and confirmed that WHO had put sterilization drugs into the vaccines. WHO sterilized 700,000 young Kenyan women who will never have children. Great evil!

In the country where I live, 9500 people are reported to have died of Covid over the past year—out of 110 million people (a very tiny .000086 fatality rate). More people died in that year in that country from flu, Dengue Fever, AIDs, TB, suicide, and starvation (caused by the lockdown) than from Covid 19. In America, most deaths (no matter what the cause) are labeled as Covid. The hospital then gets paid $17,000 by the government and the government overstates the seriousness of the virus and expands its controls (lockdowns). Last year, a friend of mine (an eighty-year-old retired pastor) had five strokes, pneumonia and went to the hospital and died. They labeled it as a Covid death—which was a lie. A few days later, a young man was in a motorbike accident, was taken to the same hospital and pronounced dead. They labeled the death as Covid-19 (a lie) and received $17,000 from the government. This has happened all across the US. If someone tests positive (and dogs, cats, mango trees, and most people with a cold will test positive, the government says they across are sick with Covid, but most do not have Covid or ever get sick. The governments then call this positive test “a case” and make everyone believe that person was really sick—which in the great majority of “cases,” they were not.

[b]This whole pandemic is actually an evil plot by very evil people to control people all over the world and to bring about a huge global population reduction. All of this is part of an evil plot to bring about a one world government. The Globalists behind this whole fake plandemic are on record that they want to see an 80-90% global population reduction. (That is over seven billion people). They will do this with manmade viruses and their vaccines—which they will try to force on everyone. This has all happened in one year but was planned by globalists like Bill Gates, WHO and others over the past five to ten years. [/b]

I have written a lot about all this over the past year, but this is a summary of what is happening. Wear the masks if you must outdoors but understand that they interfere with healthy breathing. But don’t wear them indoors. A natural immune booster which staff and children can/should use every day is garlic. It can be cut up into very tiny pieces and soaked in honey. Vitamin C taken every day is also a very good immune booster, but if you can’t get that, the garlic is very good. My wife and I often take a teaspoon of garlic every morning and evening—always with food.

Most of what is happening worldwide is out of our control. We need to be wise, listen to God, seek His wisdom, guidance, and protection, and stay very close to Him. But if you possibly can, avoid taking any Covid vaccines. You are all in our constant prayers. Keep looking up. Don

So to summarize, Jackass, If you or the author have proof of these claims, haul it out and I will give it a listen. Or not. Believe what you want. But I do get weary of outlandish claims devoid of evidence that show up with great regularity in this thread.

Thanks for the specifics, that helps!

There are other unsupported claims on this thread to include "zero" deaths. To each his own.

Without having a smoking gun, it's many people's opinion that the virus did originated in the Wuhan Lab. In addition, many believe that it was intentionally released and not accidental.

There have been other instances of vaccines being administered in third world countries that sterilize women. I think we are in agreement with that.

I think the object in contention is that it modifies DNA. From what Sherry Tenpenny says this is technically true, but later on in the process, DNA modification occurs, from what she says.

The last major point of disagreement is the culling of the earth's population. This seems to have been the case. I know Western society has been sickened with bad food and poor nutrition. Our birth rates are precipitously declining and I guess we have to work on the third world now. Millions of migrants are flooding Europe and now the US. It's two shots now but more are coming into play. How many shots will we need? Will we all be forced to have shots? You know, those shots that did not undergo animal testing?

In my lay opinion, I believe Sherry Tenpenny. You may not. To each his own. In my opinion, I think undergoing the shot before long term studies is unwise, others may disagree. But sooner or later it seems two than more shots will be mandatory to exist in this country. I would prefer to rely on my natural defenses against external pathogens, others might find that foolish. But for now, we are losing our freedom to make our personal health decisions (our body, our choice?).

Why the attacks and silencing of opponents of the shots on social media?

Why can't Dr Sherry Tenpenny post on Twitter or Youtube?

One particular doctor lost 22 patients, but fears disclosing his identity since his medical license would be taken away.

Why give the COVID jab to six mos. old babies? From what I've read, babies have an undeveloped immune system and aren't particularly vulnerable to COVID.
