COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

[Jovan Dragisic]

Post me a list of books to read.
Also, what's your thoughts on Matt Eheret Matt Ehret'''s Insights - by Matthew Ehret

You will probably like the trilogy by Anthony C. Sutton about Wall Street's involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution, financing the Nazis and the New Deal. also, anything about operations Gladio and Condor. I have never heard of Matt Eheret.

The healthcare workers need something as strong to counter the CMS rule, quickly.

Here's a volley from the district of Eastern Missouri, in the 8th circuit.

Why did this complaint go to a district court, but the OSHA complaint went up a level to circuit court?

Because Congress has specified that challenges to OSHA rules get reviewed in the first instance at a federal appeals court, instead of a district court. The Missouri case is not a challenge to OSHA so it must begin in district court.

The real question is, does it matter when the businesses and the executive branch are just nodding at each other in agreement past the courts between them that just flail ineffectually? The injunction should be a big deal. Businesses are just doing what the president says and pretending the injunction doesn't exist.

That's because the injunction applies only to OSHA. No private companies were named in the case. Even if OSHA can no longer mandate the vax, individual businesses can still do so.

Which is why I just sent an email to every single person in my chain-of-command, up to and including the CEO, pointing them to the 5th's stay, with some polite commentary of my own.

This will be fun.

Don't miss the part at 40:05.

"The fear of the disease itself was part of the public health strategy. It was essentially an inducement of panic, so that if anyone said anything that suggests that well, for children, maybe the disease is not so harmful, you get jumped on. The New York Times spent all last summer trying to panic parents over sending their children back to school. ... I don't know any other way to say it, but it was essentially a propaganda campaign to induce panic in the population."

That guy is really an economist not a epidemiologist.

With regard to non-pharmaceutical interventions.

Estimating the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 in Europe | Nature

"Most interventions were implemented in rapid succession in many countries, and as such it is difficult to disentangle the individual effect sizes of each intervention. In our analysis, we find that only the effect of lockdown is identifiable, and that it has a substantial effect (81% (75–87%) reduction in Rt). Taking into account country-specific effects, the effect size of lockdown remains large across all countries (Supplementary Fig. 29)."

" We estimate that across all 11 countries combined, between 12 and 15 million individuals were infected with SARS-CoV-2 up to 4 May 2020, representing between 3.2% and 4.0% of the population. Our results show that major non-pharmaceutical interventions—and lockdowns in particular—have had a large effect on reducing transmission. Continued intervention should be considered to keep transmission of SARS-CoV-2 under control."

He didn't claim to be an epidemiologist, and I never said he was.

I guess Australia has done the right thing, given the deadly nature of the disease.

AGE INFECTION SURVIVAL RATE
0-19 99.9973%
20-29 99.986%
30-39 99.969%
40-49 99.918%
50-59 99.73%
60-69 99.41%
70+ 97.6% (non institutionalized, not in a care home)
70+ 94.5% (all)

Correct. Decide for yourself who to do business with, and where you want to work.

And then they open up and people catch it anyway! Oh, and then there is the snowball of all the negative effects on the health and psychi of every citizen that went through this fucking torture.
Battacharya is more than an economist or epidemiologist, he is a person that gives a shit about people and their plight when idiots useful and otherwise punch numbers into useless models designed only to sow destruction!

Yes, but my employer (and likely other aerospace firms) is only pushing the mandate because of Biden. There is no apparent internal motivation. HR says as much in their email distributions.
