Does anyone have a theory as to why none of our best universities are testing and making publications regarding treatments for covid? Like did our medical research programs just decide not to study something even though they deem incredibly deadly?

Oh I didn't mean to imply you didn't have the disease, I just wanted to point out that the list of symptoms has been expanded to include everything under the sun, which perfectly coincides with the mysterious (the experts are baffled!) disappearance of many other diseases.
Complexity is so often the enemy of execution.
Flabbergasted on a daily basis how the world seems to be in a mass psychosis re. Covid 19. Surely it is this simple when all the blather is set aside?:
Question:
What is this pathology and what demographics does it most seriously affect?
Answer:
A small minority who are reasonably protected at the sharp end by most democratic countries within The Budget.
Yet here we are, “allowing” THEM to “allow” US. Pathetic.
Question to Rip:
What would be your top five calls to action for the individual to do to combat this Covid Dictatorship?
Mine would be:
1) Learn how to physically fight
2) Do heavy deadlifts
3) Grow your own food and get a rain water
tank
4) Pay as little tax as you can get away with
5) Disconnect from all social media as much as possible.
Omicron
"We are intent on not letting Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You’ve done the right thing, and we will get through this.
For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm."
The lovely US Covid Response Team, ladies and gentlemen.
There are two separate issues here Wal.
One is the precautions you should take against covid.
Take the same precautions you took against the flu in 2019. That is to say, probably nothing special. You might avoid people who are obviously sick and sneezing. If you want to take extra precautions, go for your life.
The second is the idea that covid vaccines protect against a biological hazard.
They do not. The original research was both flawed and faked. And empirical data has since shown that they do not help, and there doesn't appear to be any difference in country wide stats between this year and the last. Of course a technically accurate comparison can't be made because there is nothing to control it against now.
They don't work. And worse than that they are harmful.

New Zealand links 26-year-old man's death to Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine
Quote:
“New Zealand authorities on Monday said they had linked a 26-year-old man's death to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine after the person suffered myocarditis after taking his first dose.
The death is New Zealand's second linked to a known but rare side effect from the vaccine after health authorities in August reported a woman had died after taking her doses.
New Zealand's vaccine safety board also said another two people, including a 13-year-old, had died with possible myocarditis after taking their vaccinations.
Despite the rare side effects, the vaccine safety board said the benefits of vaccination greatly outweighed the risks.”
No. Demand for life insurance has been fairly steady from 2017 to 2020, at which point demand for life insurance increased (lots of people were afraid of dying and started buying policies). LIMRA recorded a 2% increase in sales over baseline in 2020, coming mainly from term insurance and whole life (LIMRA: U.S. Life Insurance Policy Sales Increase 2% in 2020). Direct-to-consumer whole life sales are almost certainly final expense policies. The demand continued into 2021.
You mentioned sales during the Great Depression. Life insurance did well during the early part of the Great Depression. Policy sales increased into the early 1930s before people had to start surrendering them for much needed savings (Life Insurance in the Depression: CQR ).
One possible argument could be that life insurer capital reserves were able to offset any increases in mortality. But, at least for the old line mutual companies, I have first hand knowledge that their mortality experience closely matches their mortality predictions, and 2020 and 2021 has not changed this. I know there have been some researchers who have created some fancy modeling to show that COVID has substantially increased mortality risk to life insurers. But, those papers conflict with the actually-existing pricing being offered to consumers (Did COVID-19 Change Life Insurance Offerings? |
IZA - Institute of Labor Economics). Something else one could argue is that life insurers generally don't sell many policies to the over 75 crowd, which is where most of the deaths occurred. So, from the perspective of a life insurer, this doesn't have a material impact on their business. Another factor was insurers initially anticipated uncontrolled spread based on the initial models, which turned out to be wrong. So, predictions were very conservative (a smart business decision on the part of the insurance companies—they hate being wrong).
Well, we already know for a fact COVID did not increase COI during the height of the pandemic in 2020, nor was there a delayed COI increase in 2021. We also know Omicron is less lethal than Delta. So, this narrative is going backwards.
As for the downstream effects, sure. It’s entirely possible mortality risk increases in the coming years if people die of other causes. The question will be what is the total excess mortality?
For example, more people may die from delayed surgeries or domestic violence, but fewer people may die from car accidents if they now work remotely. Insurers will want to see the net result of this and price accordingly. They are beholden to money and profits, not narratives. Narratives kill businesses.
If? It sounds like you believe they aren’t factoring in these risks? What makes you think that?
Here’s what I saw during the past 2 years:
During 2020, insurers mostly took a “wait and see” attitude. They slowed down underwriting on old folks (70+) and those who would likely be rated substandard risk, but for the most part allowed underwriting to continue as normal for otherwise healthy people with a standard or better risk rating. Some insurers placed limits on how much life insurance could be bought, but some carriers, like The Guardian, virtually opened up the flood gates. To me, that part of it spoke volumes without them having to issue any formal statement about anything.
Carriers relaxed their underwriting practice a bit into 2021, and have relaxed underwriting standards for 2022 back to mostly normal.
Maybe there’s an insurance company out there that’s deeply concerned about this. But, most carriers are not overly concerned about it.
I suppose you shouldn't have any strong opinions about it, then.
Life insurance is a guaranteed hedge against the loss of income and savings. We know everyone is immortal, but just in case something bad happens, some people do buy life insurance to hedge against that bad shit. Others mooch off the government (i.e. taxpayers) when their shit goes sideways because they refuse to act like grown-ass adults.
Everyone has to decide which side of that fence they want to stand on.
Our friend Mr. Reynolds is always sensible:
It's time to abolish 'emergency' COVID-19 powers
Interesting statement yesterday by Dr. Robert Malone on Fox
"It looks an awful lot to the experienced vaccinologist like a live attenuated virus vaccine that you might design for purpose".
If I understand Malone's point here, he actually agrees with Dr. Peter McCullough's "one and done" statement. Omicron provides immunity and pulls the rug out from under the psychopath's plans.
Is 2021 Christmas a huge catch party spreading mass immunity? Did a white hats release the real vaccine?

Evidence for a mouse origin of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant
Truly uninformed question: Is this the kind of thing that happens in a lab?Quote:
Collectively, our results suggest that the progenitor of Omicron jumped from humans to mice, rapidly accumulated mutations conducive to infecting that host, then jumped back into humans, indicating an inter-species evolutionary trajectory for the Omicron outbreak.
