Academic Research – What the studies say

Physio-metabolic and clinical consequences of wearing face masks—Systematic review with meta-analysis and comprehensive evaluation – A systematic review of 2,168 studies that looked into the adverse effects of wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic has found that the practice led to negative health consequences, including itching, headaches, and restriction of oxygen.

(Natural News) New research out of George Washington University (GWU) has found that over-the-counter aspirin could help to protect the lungs of patients who test “positive” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).

Not one adverse event occurred among these residents and staff and no hospitalizations were necessary either.

All of our patients evolved satisfactorily and were recovered at the beginning of June. No adverse effects were recorded in any patient and no one required hospital admission. At the end of June, 100% of the residents and almost half of the workers had positive serology for COVID-19, most of them with past infection.

Between March and April 2020, 84 elderly patients with suspected COVID-19 living in two nursing homes of Yepes, Toledo (Spain) were treated early with antihistamines (dexchlorpheniramine, cetirizine or loratadine), adding azithromycin in the 25 symptomatic cases. The outcomes are retrospectively reported. The primary endpoint is the fatality rate of COVID-19. The secondary endpoints are the hospital and ICU admission rates. Endpoints were compared with the official Spanish rates for the elderly. The mean age of our population was 85 and 48% were over 80 years old. No hospital admissions, deaths, nor adverse drug effects were reported in our patient population. By the end of June, 100% of the residents had positive serology for COVID-19. Although clinical trials are needed to determine the efficacy of both drugs in the treatment of COVID-19, this analysis suggests that primary care diagnosis and treatment with antihistamines, plus azithromycin in selected cases, may treat COVID-19 and prevent progression to severe disease in elderly patients.

What did these few nursing homes did:

• 1. Early start of treatment, regardless of the severity of patient symptoms.
  • – Antihistamines every 12 h: dexchlorpheniramine 2 mg, cetirizine 10 mg or loratadine 10 mg.
  • – Azithromycin 500 mg orally every 24 h for 3 days if there is rapid improvement, and for 6 days if the duration of symptoms is prolonged.
  • – If pain or fever, acetaminophen 650 mg/6–8 h.
  • – Nasal washing and gargling with sodium bicarbonate water (half a glass of warm water with half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate).
• 2. Patients with mild or recent-onset symptoms (cough, fever, general malaise, anosmia, polymyalgia):
  • – Antihistamines + Azithromycin (see mild treatment management)
  • – Levofloxacin 500 mg/12 h, up to 14 days of antibiotic treatment from diagnosis.
  • – Mepifilin solution, 50 mg/8 h as a bronchodilator, until subjective improvement. Patients with previous lung disease (asthma or COPD) used their usual bronchodilators.
  • – If the patient experienced increased breathing difficulty, prednisone 1 mg/kg/day divided into two doses until clinical improvement, and then it was slowly tapered down.
• 3. If symptoms of severity (dyspnea, breathing difficulty, mild or moderate chest pain, with SpO2 >80%, heart rate <100 beats per minute at any time of the process).
• 4. Prophylactic treatment for close contacts, including all asymptomatic residents:
  • – Antihistamines at the same dose as symptomatic patients.

Cetrizine is otherwise known as Zyrtec.  Loratadine is otherwise known as Claritin.  Dexchlorpheniramine is not often-used in the US anymore, but it used to be.  The other two core drugs were Azithromycin and Levofloxacin, both common antibiotics with the first being the infamous “Zpak” from the HCQ+Zinc+Zpak combination that a fraudulent study was used to discredit.

Both of the first two antihistamines are available over the counter in most nations including the United States.  The dosing they used is twice that on the label.  The two antibiotics are both available anywhere for little money.

RESULTS

Before they started treating people three residents died.  The entire group of them had the common maladies of old age — hypertension, diabetes, COPD, cardiovascular disease.  Most were using a huge range of existing drugs for their conditions (5 or more.)  

As soon as they started treating people the following happened:

All of our patients evolved satisfactorily and were recovered at the beginning of June. No adverse effects were recorded in any patient and no one required hospital admission. At the end of June, 100% of the residents and almost half of the workers had positive serology for COVID-19, most of them with past infection.

Not one adverse event occurred among these residents and staff and no hospitalizations were necessary either.

In pooled data 28% of the residents in similar nursing homes over the same time period died.  In these two, once they started treating with cheap drugs, leading with those available over the counter in the US, ZERO — I repeat — ZERO had a bad reaction to the protocol, ZERO died and ZERO were admitted to a hospital for treatment.

ZERO.

It was one hundred percent effective.

Already Obsolete but Still Injurious

Sub-plot: Those who developed Coronavirus lead the response

Vaccine injuries mount. Long-term risks disturbing. Situation overview.

• “We made a big mistake. We thought the spike protein was a great target antigen, we never knew the spike protein itself was a toxin. By vaccinating people we are inoculating them with a toxin” – Canadian Researcher (full interview)
• As in the disease itself, the vaccine-produced spike proteins are toxic and spread throughout the body. They attack the vascular system causing blood clots, strokes, heart-attacks, neurological issues … and death.
  • Irreparable heart damage (myocarditis/pericarditis) in young. FDA usefully warns after the fact.
  • Mid-term threat of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension from microscopic blood–clotting in lungs
  • Potential trigger of prion-related disease: Creutzfeldt-Jakob, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, MSA. First case?

• Most worrisome of all is vaccine-induced Antibody-Dependent-Enhancement (ADE)
  • ADE: “after vaccinated for an initial virus, infection by a subsequent variant can result in increased viral replication and more severe disease”
  • Journal of Infection study (also available here):
    • “in the case of the Delta variant, neutralizing antibodies have a decreased affinity for the spike protein, whereas facilitating antibodies display a strikingly increased affinity. Thus, ADE may be a concern for people receiving vaccines based on the original Wuhan strain. Second generation vaccines should be considered” (quote shortened for readability)
  • Bottom Line: Jab made 2 billion more vulnerable to severe illness and death. Data hints first wave of ADE death underway
• The Numbers:
  • US VAERS: 701,559 vaccine injuries, 14,925 dead (9/10/21). Unprecedented vaccine mortality spike.
  • Europe’s system: 20,595 dead
  • These are real people. Why are they being ignored instead of studied? Doesn’t the Pfizer FDA care?
  • FDA finally confronted with VAERS data (9/17/21)
• More VC Nurses Blow Whistle on ‘Overwhelming’ Numbers of Heart Attacks, Clotting, Strokes, The Conejo Guardian, By Joel Kilpatrick, December 14, 2021 

The jabs are increasingly ineffective:

• Ineffective against delta variant. (vax-resistant Lamba, R.1 on the way…)
  • Gibraltar: fully-vaccinated yet sees massive spike in cases
  • UK: by 8/15/21 (even before the 6-month vax immunity cliff), 57% of delta deaths were double-vaxxed vs. 33% un-vaxxed
  • Israel (canary in coal mine) “vaccine only 39% effective”. 95% of severe cases and surge in deaths among vaccinated
  • Massachusetts: 5,100 break-through cases leading to 80 deaths
  • India: delta strain resistant to vaccines
  • Sydney Australia: 140 of 141 hospitalized are vaccinated
  • United States: Before: Pfizer vax 95% effective, Now: 42%
• Vaccine-based immunity is now known to be short-lived:
  • Before: “2-and-done” Now: everyone needs a booster. …every five months? …forever? Another hit-and-miss flu shot?
  • Surgeon General: “if the trajectory that we are seeing continues, then we will likely see, in the future, an increase in breakthrough hospitalizations and breakthrough deaths.” CDC Director: “ reports from our international colleagues, including Israel, suggest increased risk of severe disease among those vaccinated early.”
  • Is this a result of: a) jab’s general antibody cliff b) specific ineffectivity against variants c) ADE facilitation? All of the above?
• Murdering logic:
  • “The outbreaks among vaccinated people on Cape Cod is proof that vaccines work, CDC director says” (death = working)
  • Fully-vaccinated man dies, daughter: “I can’t imagine how much more he would have suffered if he had not gotten the vaccine.”
  • And the ever-popular “my sunscreen doesn’t work unless you put on your sunscreen” idiocy

The roll-out was illogical, dangerous:

• Mass vaccination during a pandemic drives variant mutations and immunological escape
• Effective treatments censored. Ailing patients cruelly denied early interventions, die needlessly.
  • Ivermectin eradicates covid in giant Indian state Uttar Pradesh (additional studies here)
  • Other important interventions: C, D, Zinc, Quercetin, EGCG, monoclonal antibodies, HCQ, nasal sprays, nebulized H₂O₂ …
• Vaccine testing takes 5-10 years. A rushed, global roll-out for a treatable disease is wildly unethical
• …and yet Pfizer’s vaccine “to generate more than $33.5 billion this year [2021]”

Doing our part? Being team players?

• The vaccines don’t stop infection so the vaccinated become super-spreaders with high viral load
• Acquired immunity is 13x more protective against Delta than the Pfizer vaccine and lasts longer
• Majority already have naturally acquired immunity and are less likely to spread

“The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study that some scientists wish came with a ‘Don’t try this at home’ label,’ Science reported Thursday… The newly released data show people who once had a SARS-CoV-2 infection were much less likely than vaccinated people to get Delta, develop symptoms from it, or become hospitalized with serious COVID-19.”

‘Breakthrough’ Infection Risk for Vaxxed 13 Times Higher Compared to Natural Immunity From Previous COVID Infection

Via Yale-funded medRxiv:

“SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well.”

Vaccinated Carry 251 Times More Viral Load than Unvaccinated

Via The Lancet:

“Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020.”

Via CBS:

“Breakthrough Delta variant infections are associated with high viral loads, prolonged PCR positivity, and low levels of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies.”

Research: ‘Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens’

Via PLOS Biology:

“Vaccines that keep hosts alive but still allow transmission could thus allow very virulent strains to circulate in a population…  anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease.”

What this means: when virulent new variants emerge, they will likely come not from the unvaxxed but from the vaccinated who are fertile breeding grounds/reservoirs for new strains.
