measles

 

partly from immigrants who didn't get a good vaccine (if the measles vaccine isn't kept cold enough it doesn't work) or no vaccine.

And partly due to the distrust of vaccine: the anti vax types pushed measles vaccine as causing autism for years, and now with covid problems covered up, they are believed more by some.

the trans scandal: Misuse of medications to brainwashed kids.

 

link to WPATH files.

the WPATH Files reveal that the organization does not meet the standards of evidence-based medicine, and members frequently discuss improvising treatments as they go along. Members are fully aware that children and adolescents cannot comprehend the lifelong consequences of “gender-affirming care,” and in some cases, due to poor health literacy, neither can their parents.

“The WPATH Files show that what is called ‘gender medicine’ is neither science nor medicine,” said Michael Shellenberger, President and founder of Environmental Progress. “The experiments are not randomized, double-blind, or controlled. It’s not medicine since the first rule is to do no harm. And that requires informed consent.”.

In 35 years of practice, I had no trans patients. And despite the two heart idea that is attributed to the Native American community, I did not see any patients with this. 

So I know nothing about this hysteria: I retired before it became popular.

However, as someone who took various hormones for infertility, I am familiar with the medicines they use.

Puberty blockers means the drug that turns off your hormones. I took this to shrink my endometriosis and I cried all the time on them (i.e. depression). And when I had men on them for prostate cancer, I warned them about this complication, that if they were depressed, it was the medicine and that anti depressants might help.

But what about all those androgens given to young girls?

The testosterone hormones made me "Fat, hairy and horny". 

But 30 years ago these were widely used by athletes.

Young men often took these for muscle strength in sports. (also some female athletes took these, but I never treated any women)...And some wonder if this might be behind the high rate of sexual crime and violence in this group. I do know a man who had been a professional wrestler who stopped them when he almost hit his wife in anger: he recognized it as a symptom of the medicine. And of course, these hormones have medical side effects: Liver cancer, neuropathy, heart problems. Med article lists the problems by those taking this medicine. Which is why these medicines were essentially relisted as a controlled substance (strictly regulated) for ordinary folk.

Giving estrogen to men who transition? Well, it lowers their libido. And 40 years ago, we stopped using estrogen to treat prostate cancer because of the high rate of heart disease. And you also see breast cancer in those taking estrogen.

Not mentioned: osteoporosis. Cancer. Obesity related diabetes. Are these things being seen? Who knows?

and all that nonsense about men having babies? Uh, it is well known that the male hormone will affect the baby. And what about the other drugs that are often taken? Antidepression medicines for example.

Sigh.

As I said: in 35 years of practice (and years of training) I haven't treated such cases.

But now the young are being instructed that this is normal, and my granddaughter tells me that it is common to meet these young girls in her classes in the USA.

as for boys: Most are just gay. But because of taboos, some might prefer to say they are trans which is more acceptable.

Years ago, one famous Hollywood female writer quipped: These transvestites really don't want to be women. They want to be prom queens.

Sad.

Ironically, the country that has the highest rate of male to female transition in Iran, because Shiite Islam forbids homosexuality but allows transvestites.

and then you have the question: When you see women bragging about their trans kids, one wonders if this is a variation of Munchausen by Proxy syndrome.

In factitious disorder imposed on another, a caregiver makes a dependent person appear mentally or physically ill in order to gain attention. To perpetuate the medical relationship, the caregiver systematically misrepresents symptoms, fabricates signs, manipulates laboratory tests, or even purposely harms the dependent (e.g. by poisoning, suffocation, infection, physical injury).[6] It is important to note the caregiver is not performing this behavior for obvious external reward, such as money.

And not just parents: when you see tiktok videos of teachers bragging that they are doing this to their students, one wonders who gave them the right to do this.

Sigh.

clinical trials

 the problem with clinical trials is that they often don't correctly measure what they are supposed to measure. In covid, the problem was giving Hydroxychloroquin or Ivermectin to patients in hospitals, yet most anti viral medicines (e.g. for herpes zoster, herpes simplex, influenza) only work if given early

Dr. Campbell has two videos on this problem, and I wrote about it on my ordinary blog here and here.

private biolabs? China haz them.

 StrategyPage has a long essay about that shoddy lab in California that was discovered not by the feds, but by a local building inspector, and the local authorities had a lot of problems getting the CDC etc. interested in finding what was being done there. 

USAToday story here. the story has sort of disappeared from the news, but a Congressional committee issued a report  last November about what this was about.

including this complaint:The CDC’s insisted that there was “no evidence” that Select Agents were within Reedley Biolab or that Zhu and UMI imported infectious agents and “insufficient evidence at this time” of legal violations. It seems to have made this claim without conducting any investigation beyond reading the labels that were in English on a limited number of the pathogenic samples.,,,

conclusion:At a minimum, the Reedley Biolab shows the profound threat that unlicensed and unknown biolabs pose to our country. At worst, this investigation revealed significant gaps in our nation’s defenses and pathogen-related regulations that present a grave national security risk that could be exploited in the future. It is therefore incumbent upon Congress and the Executive Branch to address these vulnerabilities now before it is too late.

As I said: The story sort of disappeared from the news since then.
What me worry?

So what was this all about? StrategyPage's summary here analyzes this in light of Chinese history and culture, such as the mandate of heaven, chronic corruption, and a resurgence of the war lord mindset that has plagued China for 2100 years.

This tries to explain why small private rich guys might be investing in such labs.

A case can be made that the Chinese government has been waging a covert war on America for years. At least a few of the Chinese with biowar labs in China would certainly presume government approval for creation of similar labs in America, plus that would give them far greater bragging rights and status among their peers. China’s government has lost control of its regional leaders, who are now waging private wars against America. With weapons of mass destruction. Had it been an official Chinese government biowar lab, that would have been an overt act of war. Fortunately, it wasn’t, but it is still a big problem because the California lab is unlikely to be the only one, and we absolutely dare not assume it was.

I should note that Strategy Page is not a conspiracy site, and they are more accurate than much of the MSM on what is going on inside countries where I have personal knowledge. (Philippines, Colombia, West Africa, South Africa).

Sigh.

Drug gangs destablizing US and Latin America

 LINK

I should add that when the Philippines was being threatened by gangs, and even the Mexican cartels were looking into coming here, that Duterte cracked down on gangs by what they called extrajudicial killing: essentially he threatened the drug users and gangs to go to rehab or maybe they might be shot.

So the international courts went after Duterte. Here much of the drug problem is shabu (meth) and out of China and from Chinese gangsters who control much of the drug trade in Asia.

So I am waiting for the Pope and churches to say stop.

The Mexican and Colombian bishops did oppose drugs, and many priests were killed by gangs. But the liberation theology types led to the church backing leftists in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela.

Sigh.

Haiti: A microcosm of failed states.

from CBN:

The low IQ problem that he mentions is a problem: not genetic but due to childhood malnutrition. WHen I was in rural Zimbabwe, where the babies got prolonged breast feeding and we had nutrition supplements sold at baby clinic the IQ was essentially normal, especially in kids who went to school where there was lunchtime food supplements.,

Then I worked in Liberia, and the low IQ was a major problem. Why? poor city slums. Women encouraged to use formula (or used it because they had to work) and then couldn't really afford enough to buy enough to keep the kid nourished.

So in Zimbabwe, usually we had moms with 5 to 8 kids, and most lived, but in Monrovia, many of the moms had six pregnancies but only one or two kids.

The gangs can destablize the country because Papa Doc Duvalier used them and voodoo to control the population

Ironically, there are educated Haitians: Many of them went to newly independent African countries that spoke French to find jobs, especially the DRC.

the do gooders who criticized Duterte who kept the Philippines from deteriorating into being run by drug cartels, and the same ones who are criticizing the mass arrests in ElSalvador, are making things worse.

and I am glad he mentioned the fraud by the Clinton Foundation: something that is rarely mentioned in the US media..
