I should add that restonEbola infected local pigs here in NuevaEcija, and two of the men caring for them. Presumably they caught it from monkeys being raised for lab experiments in the Philippines.
By mid-February, British zoologist Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance and a Fauci ally, organized a letter that was published in The Lancet stating that the authors stood together “to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.” What the letter failed to mention is the fact that Daszak’s organization received many millions of taxpayer dollars from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the State Department—before and during the pandemic—and that millions were funneled through EcoHealth to the Wuhan lab, some of which went to coronavirus research.
the coverup was done because they were doing gain of function research, which was supposed to be illegal
The moral debate over gain-of-function research has been going on for a long time. It came to prominence with the debate over avian flu research in the early 2010s. Avian flu is a very bad disease, but like most animal viruses, it is adapted for its host—in this case chickens or other birds. It does not often infect humans, but when it does, certain strains kill up to 50 percent of those infected.
During an outbreak in 2010, Dutch virologist Ron Fouchier wondered if it would be possible to make the avian flu contagious through the air to mammals, and his research became highly controversial. Proponents argued that it could provide valuable data for scientists to predict or combat future pandemics. Opponents argued that it could cause pandemics either through lab leaks or terrorism. Fauci was intimately familiar with this debate, because Fouchier’s research was funded by Fauci’s agency, and he argued at the time that the potential benefits outweighed the risks.
A growing number of virologists and other scientists worry that a lab leak will happen again, and with even more serious consequences. With Covid, the mortality rate was far less than one percent. Experiments are now being carried out with viruses that have the potential for mortality rates between 15 and 50 percent. In 2021, MIT biochemist Kevin Esvelt wrote:
Once we consider the possibility of misuse [of gain-of-function research], let alone creative misuse, such research looks like a gamble that civilization can’t afford to risk. . . . I implore every scientist, funder, and nation working in this field: Please stop. No more trying to discover or make pandemic-capable viruses, enhance their virulence, or assemble them more easily. No more attempting to learn which components allow viruses to efficiently infect or replicate within human cells, or to devise inheritable ways to evade immunity. No more experiments likely to disseminate blueprints for plagues.
The potential for disaster cannot be overstated. Right now, people can order synthetic DNA on the internet, and if they know what they’re doing, they can make the polio virus, among many others. And there are increasing numbers of individuals who have the knowhow: according to Esvelt, “The U.S. grants 125 doctoral degrees in virology each year, accounting for one-third of the total worldwide. At least four times as many individuals with degrees in related fields . . . possess similar skills.”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,his talk about this on CSPAN LINK
there was a lot of talk awhile back about football causing concussions and brain damage. And of course, boxers developing punch drunk symptoms has sort of been known for decades.
So StrategyPage has a long discussion here of how concussions can cause symptoms that overlap the symptoms of post traumatic stress syndrome.
These included over a quarter million cases of traumatic brain injury, more commonly called concussion and over a hundred thousand cases of PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that were discovered among combat veterans since September 11, 2001...
In the last decade it has become clear that injury and disability from PTSD and concussions from explosions were more of a factor than previously thought. Many troops, because of exposure to roadside bombs and battlefield explosions in general, developed minor concussions that, like sports injuries, could turn into long term medical problems. Often these concussions were accompanied by some PTSD.
Examining medical histories of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam War vets showed a pattern of later medical problems among many concussion victims. The same pattern has been found among athletes and accident victims who suffered concussions.
the good news: there are now better ways to diagnose these problem
After many lives were lost through starvation, castle lord Kikkawa Tsuneie (1547-1581) is believed to have committed ritual seppuku suicide to save the remaining personnel in his fortress.
Hideyoshi distributed porridge to the starving survivors but more than half of them perished soon after consuming the gruel.
According to Kano’s accounts, this page of history regarding the massive post-siege death toll at Tottori Castle was conventionally linked to refeeding syndrome in the medical community in Japan.
But no papers have ever been released to support the theory.
Refeeding syndrome is a metabolic complication that is said to lead occasionally to heart failure, respiratory difficulties and other severe conditions associated with vitamin deficiency. It occurs when patients with chronic nutritional disorders are given nutrients abruptly,
They concluded the widespread deaths were likely due to refeeding syndrome as a result of the victims ingesting carbohydrates immediately following the end of a prolonged period of excessive hunger.
this has been reported many times in history. Wikipedia has the history of this, and cites Hippocrates for first noticing it.
When too much food or liquid nutrition supplement is eaten during the initial four to seven days following a malnutrition event, the production of glycogen, fat and protein in cells may cause low serum concentrations of potassium, magnesium and phosphate.[2][3] Cardiac, pulmonary and neurological symptoms can be signs of refeeding syndrome. The low serum minerals, if severe enough, can be fatal.,
Refeeding syndrome is defined as medical complications that result from fluid and electrolyte shifts as a result of aggressive nutritional rehabilitation.
Actually these things are not the same.
first you have the people who come out and eat quickly and drop dead. Probably from electrolyte shift.
Then you have people who die over a few days: Probably from the body's inability to use the food given to them.
and I suspect there might be several reasons for the high mortality when you start feeding people after malnutrition or starvation.
In Africa, we screened kids at baby clinic, and referred them to our nutrition center for early refeeding (or had our village health workers work with mom on how to refeed them using food available in the villages).
But once the kid came in with kwashiorkor, although we would slowly refeed, often after a few days they would lose their body temperature and just die quietly on us.
Sigh
Physiologically, the problem was that prolonged malnutrition led to blunting of the cells that absorb nutrition, so the food just isn't absorbed. And the heart muscle is slowly replaced with fibrous tissue from months of low protein diet, meaning it might not recover quickly so the heart would be unable to meet the increase of work needed for food etc.
so it's not just electrolyte imbalance, although the electrolyte imbalance could be the cause of sudden death/
actually, I wonder if it's not from sympathetic nervous system rush.
When I had Dengue and was on IVs, I didn't eat for several days. But then our maid decided I should eat a full meal, and after eating rice and meat, I promptly vomited and my bowels releases a huge amount of BM. Almost as if my system was getting rid of everything.
Since 2009 CSHL has partnered with the Suzhou Industrial Park in Suzhou, China to create Cold Spring Harbor Asia which annually draws some 3,000 scientists to its meetings and courses.[9] The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory School of Biological Sciences, formerly the Watson School of Biological Sciences, was founded in 1999.[10]
was this done with fetal tissue, or other sources of stem cells: the labs no longer identify such things in the articles about humanized mice.
But SciAmerican in 2015 defends the use of tissue from second trimester abortions.
Why second trimester? Dirty little secret: Because up to 9 weeks, abortion sucks the kid out in pieces but after 12 weeks there are bones and it has to be aborted intact with chemicals (which means a dead fetus whose organs are too deteriorated to use) or dismembered piece by piece carefully so the hardening bones don't perforate the uterus.
here is how the journal article describes this:
Every month, Lishan Su receives a small test tube on ice from a company in California. In it is a piece of liver from a human fetus aborted at between 14 and 19 weeks of pregnancy.
Su and his staff at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill carefully grind the liver, centrifuge it and then extract and purify liver- and blood-forming stem cells. They inject the cells into the livers of newborn mice, and allow those mice to mature. The resulting animals are the only ‘humanized’ mice with both functioning human liver and immune cells and, for Su, they are invaluable in his work on hepatitis B and C, allowing him to probe how the viruses evade the human immune system and cause chronic liver diseases.
that was from a 2015 article, so I apologize: things probably have changed since then... since that article was published, a Japanese researcher, troubled by the ethical implications, found a way to make stem cells without fetal tissue.
but the fetal parts industry continues to be a lucrative source of funds.
this article notes that the whistleblower behind this expose has been sued by Planned Parenthood in California for recording them admitting to this illegal practice.
so much for whistleblowing protection.
which is why you don't hear about this much in the MSM, who of course loves aborting unwanted babies defending the right to the integrity of a woman's body.

House urged to scrutinize US-funded lab project in PH

House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro STIORY: House urged to scrutinize US-funded lab project in PH

MANILA, Philippines — House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro and other Makabayan bloc lawmakers on Tuesday urged the House of Representatives to investigate the presence of foreign-funded laboratories in the country, including animal disease facilities financed by the United States’ Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), to ensure that there are no covert military objectives involved in these projects.
A few solons on the left worried about it, but then the story disappeared.
Well, today I was listening to this long boring talk about the UN treaties, and voila at 48 minutes he starts talking about an Indonesian discussing how they are encouraging these labs to investors to make money.
\\
it took some googling but the daily caller also wrote about the grant back in Jan 2023.
A massive population collapse in Mexico followed the Spanish invasion.
Influenza, small pox, measles, mumps, etc. were the cause and of course these diseases were known to Spanish doctors, and since most Spaniards had had these diseases as children (and survived) they were immune.
But one of the largest epidemics was unknown to both Spanish and Aztec doctors:
one should note that a lot of diseases could give similar symptoms of bloody diarrhea, aka dystentary and some of them have rashes.
So was it spread via vermin, or via contaminated water? That is another question since typhoid and paratyphods usually are spread via the 4F routes: Finger, feces, food and flies (insects).
And since these epidemics tended to hit when there was a drought, that makes sense: water is scarce so you wash less, and the water supply is more easily contaminated with fecal matter. Sigh
A reminder why the Four horsemen of the apocolypse were war, famine, disease, and anarchy.
a similar convergence of famine, war, and anarchy occured with the Philippine revolt against the Spanish and then against the Americans. American Apocolypse is a book that describes how and why these things were linked, and happened even when the invaders didn't want it to happen and had a crude idea of public health and sanitation.
so should you worry about this disease being brought up from Central America and Mexico with all those immigrants?
Probably not: since sanitation and antibiotics can stop it's spread. And these germs are already in the USA and cause outbreaks of food poisoning from salads, unclean hands, or improperly cooked chicken. I have also seen cases from those cute tiny pet turtles we used to give to kids.
Luckily, antibiotics, and fluids (sometimes IV Fluids are needed) treat the disease. And basic sanitation (including washing hands) can stop the spread.
but when I read about the homeless in the USA, I worry about the poor sanitation will cause spread of disease: it has already resulted in a major Hepatitis A epidemic in San Diego.
This has led me to read about that period in Japanese history, about the introduction of tea, about the varieties of Buddhism that changed from ceremonial and strict to the more popular version that lets non intellectuals to get to heaven by taking Buddha as their Lord and savior without all that complicated rituals.
but anyway, one of the side issues is disease. Lots of child birth deaths, not just in Genji but in other related writings by ladies of those days.
But what about disease?
I am just starting to do research into the healing ceremonies, but one of the issues I ran across was infectious disease
Japan, being an island, and in rural areas in valleys tended to be isolated, was what in public health calls virgin territory: where no one is immune to a disease so the result is a huge number of deaths.
This is what happened to the American Indians for example. Or to the Europeans who got Syphillis in return
The first recorded smallpox epidemic in Japan was in the eighth century. The smallpox that started in 735 ravaged the country and killed probably about one-third of the entire population. Almost certainly this was a virgin soil epidemic. Later, twenty-eight smallpox epidemics were recorded until 1206. Among these epidemics, there was a clear trend of progressive shortening of the interval between two epidemics: until the year 1000, smallpox visited Japan with the interval of twenty-four years on average, while between 1001 and 1206 the interval became thirteen years.4 (Table 1) By the Tokugawa Period or the early modern period in Japan, smallpox was firmly settled as an endemic disease.5 Statistics from a village show that the village experienced major outbreaks of smallpox about every ten years. (Figure 1) They also show that about ninety-five per cent of the deaths from smallpox were those who were under ten-years-of-age.
I bring this up for two reasons:
One: that a new disease into a population without immunity could kill a large percentage of the population, and
TWO: that as time goes on, with each epidemic, fewer die, until it essentially becomes a disease of childhood
The lessons for covid? Well, thanks to the omicron varient, the milder disease took over (omicron varients tend to stay in the upper airway, and not give those huge fluffy pneumonias we saw earlhy in the epidemic).
the death rate of covid, although terrible, did not kill a significant part of the population.
when discussing covid, I should add three:
That the early shut down might have helped, but since the young had natural immunity, the shut down of society that lasted two years was malpractice (or maybe a crime). Two weeks to flatten the curve, yes, but prolonged shut down made no sense.
Finally, if you read about the high mortality of small pox etc: remember there are a lot of scary diseases out there.
Monkey pox could result in a minor epidemic, but it is rarely fatal even in Africa and HIV postitive westerners whose immune system is lousy.
Indeed, despite the hysteria, the CDC types didn't even bother to shut down the rave parties where it was being spread, and although the white gay community was organized enough to tell each other to get the vaccine, the public health departments failed to reach out to high risk Hispanic and black communities,. So here too you can see that they either didn't take it seriously or were incompetent, or were stopped from doing what was necessary due to political correctness.
This is similar to the way the public authorities failed to stop all those "firey but peaceful" demonstrations: if this was a serious disease someone should have done an evaluation on those attending. This population study ignores that the counties where protesters gathered were not the same places these professional protesters came from, and also ignored that the huge numbers they cited as protesters was a fake number, since the same protesters probably attended several meetings. Instead, anyone concerned with this danger were silenced.
to see a good study, check out the one that was done later for the Sturgis motorcycle ralley which found little spread despite the hysteria of the linked CNN report (86 cases, four people were hospitalized, and one died_) probably because by then herd immunity had taken place.
sigh.
But anyway: Yes, stop the conspiracy theories about meetings planning for future epidemics: because such epidemics do happen.
But two: remove the nincompoops who mishandled the Covid response.
Finally, stopping people from using medicines that might stop them from dying was major malpractice, but hey Fauci did it in the past and got away with it:
