Jens Spahn ON TOUR ! (August 2020)
Technocrats Freak Out Over CDC’s 6% COVID Death Figure
Well, first Technocrats and leftist media blame Qanon. Q is crazy, right? Then they point to Trump for retweeting that same number: if Trump said it, it must be false, right? After Twitter deleted everyone else’s tweets about it, the media figured it had to be fake news, right?
Within hours, every major publication was blasting anyone and everyone who dared to “misinterpret” the CDC’s latest finding. You have to leave the interpreting part to the experts, they say, to the epidemiologists and to the scientists. Mere citizens are simply too ignorant and uneducated to understand lofty mathematical concepts like 6% or complicated medical terms like comorbidity.
Fools, all.
The CDC’s website clearly and definitively states:
For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.
What is unclear about this?
It is a really pathetic pandemic where only 6% of deaths are due exclusively to COVID-19. Stack that up against the Black Plague, TB or Ebola.
The freak-outs want you to instead focus on the 94% who died with a plethora of comorbidity conditions. Some of the most common ones mentioned in the study are:
Influenza, pneumonia, hypertensive diseases, hear disease, cardiac arrest, heart failure, diabetes, alzheimers, renal failure and on and on.
Patients with these other conditions also just happened to test positive for COVID-19, and that’s all it took to be recorded as a COVID death. What’s more, the average patient had an average of 2.6 of these other factors when they died.
Even a motorcycle crash victim who died on the scene tested positive for COVID. His death was recorded as COVID until some locals pointed out the sheer stupidity of such a categorization and it was ultimately rescinded.
OK, Look. Dying WITH COVID is not the same as dying FROM COVID. Only 6% died FROM COVID exclusively. The other 94% died WITH COVID.
Did anybody make an assessment of how many of the 94% would have died anyway, even if they did not have COVID? Nope. Not a one, so we’ll never know for sure. But even a baseball bat could figure out that there has been a significant number who were headed for their earthly exit no matter what else they contracted along the way.
But, why would Technocrats freak out so bad over this viral CDC announcement (pun intended)? Because it puts their entire narrative in jeopardy.
No more panic over a pandemic would mean no more face masks, no more social distancing, no more lockdowns, no need for vaccines, no more funding, no more “Karens”, no more social engineering. It means Anthony Fauci would be released into permanent retirement, sans a fortune in lost profits from his Big Pharma investments. Worst of all, it would mean that they were WRONG, and to a Technocrat, being wrong is a cardinal sin.

It is Time to Reboot Public Health: Time for a CDC/NIAID/FDA Walk-Away Movement

It Is Time to Reboot Public Health
Published on August 5, 2020James Lyons-Weiler, IPAKEditor In Chief at Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law
As the public wakes up to the stark reality that our society’s response to COVID19 has far done more damage than the SARS-CoV-2 virus, with over one trillion dollars lost from the US economy, hundreds of thousands of small businesses closed, 50% of which will never re-open, people raiding their retirement funds; most of Big Medicine posting massive losses due to suspension of all but Emergency Medicine and infectious disease treatment, it is a fair question to ask: how did we get where we are? Clearly the virus did not close businesses, nor lead to the deaths of despair associated with unexployment, anxiety and depression due to policy responses to COVID19.
A more important question is: how to we get out of this mess?
First, let’s recap. Nothing lines up with logic; instead, all signs point to crimes against humanity conducted in the name of pushing a narrative that leads to a vaccination program to save humanity from COVID19.
January 2020: CDC refuses an accurate, validated PCR test from Germany.
Jan/February 2020: CDC develops and ships a flawed test, preventing meaningful containment of COVID19 via contact tracing. This is not reported until March 2020. (Washington Post, Forbes, MIT Technology Review). CDC reports the tests are corrected by ignoring the results of one set of primers, but later claims the problem is the test is too sensitive. Anyone who has designed PCR amplification reactions (I have) would know that this makes zero sense in the world of PCR.
February: Chris Meekins, former HHS official, reports to Sinclair that CDC has lied to HHS Sec. Azar about the accuracy and readiness of CDC COVID-19 testing.
March 2020: FDA allows EUAs for commercial tests. CDC continues to act as the central validation authority for commercial tests – comparing them against their flawed test.
June 2020: WebMD reports early CDC tests kits were „likely contaminated„. This is likely incorrect; the test kits, more likely than not, are flawed in their basic design and report false positives due to CDC’s insistence on having their „own“ test way back in January.
July 2020: Dr. Sin Hang Lee publishes unequivocal results showing „CDC+“ and „CDC-“ are not „SARS-CoV-2 positive“ and „SARS-CoV-2 negative. One-quarter (1/4) of reference samples sent to labs so they can validate commercial PCR tests are mislabeled.
July 2020: Sanjay Gupta announces on CNN that CDC Director Redfield told him that we need a viable COVID-19 testing program in the US. Gupta responds: „You’ve got to be kidding me“.
June-July 2020: Dr. Anthony Fauci dismisses Hydroxychloroquine for treatment of COVID19.
June 14th 2020: Dr. Meryl Nass reports that a Lancet study on critically ill COVID19 patients used lethal doses of Hydroxychloroquine. The study is retracted, but FDA revokes the EUA of Hydroxychloroquine anyway.
June 2020: FDA’s revocation of the EUA for use of HCQ to treat COVID19 was also done in spite of 66 Studies the balance of which show that Hydroxychloroquine is effective if used early in combination with zinc; one fraudulent study retracted from The Lancet used lethal doses on late-stage COVID-19 patients.
June 2020: CDC reports they had overestimated COVID19 cases by double-counting patients who had tested positive via PCR and antibody tests (New York Times).
All along this time line, full-time apologist and explainer Anthony Fauci called for „no investigation“ into the early flawed CDC test, insisting that long-term, double-blinded placebo-controlled studies on HCQ were needed (in spite of it being touted as a ‚wonder drug‘ against SARS in the 2000s (See: “ Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread„, 2005 – which cited 318 times in the scientific literature).
The American public is convinced that CDC’s policy of wearing cloth masks is worthwhile- when studies actually show that cloth masks do not provide robust protection, and masking outside of the healthcare setting does not reduce viral transmission. (Think about it: CDC says 16 layers of cloth masks are recommended, we are wearing paper-thin disposable single-layer non-medical masks; in BSL3 and 4 labs multiple layers and medical masks with aspirators, face shields, hair nets, etc and full body PPEs are needed to protect against aerosolized virions).
While we may convince ourselves that wearing masks is worthwhile even if it only helps a little – we forget that the use of Hydroxychloroquine could be justified if the same is true in preventing ourselves and others from transmitting the virus. In reality, however, the evidence of early-use HCQ with zinc in early stage COVID19 is far, far stronger than the support that masking outside of the healthcare setting is worthwhile.
Time for a CDC/NIAID/FDA Walk-Away Movement
Medical doctors speaking out in support of HCQ are being persecuted and silenced. Dr. Simone Gold, the Los Angeles-based physician and member of America’s Frontline Doctors, was fired for speaking out about her medical opinion in opposition to FDA’s revocation of the EUA for the drug.
Regulatory agencies in the US are captured by corporations, with revolving door policies, financial entanglements – including the CDC Foundation, which received >$20M/yr from pharmaceutical companies that manufacture vaccines; FDA, which receives most of their revenue from fees from filings from Pharmaceutical companies, and the NIH, which receives donations through their own foundation. These arrangements have proven fatal to US citizens to the tune of over 156,000 deaths (we are told, but who knows?) AND fatal to the US Economy – making Public Health infrastructure as it is currently configured a serious threat, ironically, to Public Health.
We need a reboot. What would that reboot look like?
Semi-Autonomous, Adaptively Flexible Research Science
The SAAFR Science model is a public health and bioattack response network made of 80 nodes, distributed geographically across the US. Each node is funded to ideaize biothreats and responses ahead of their manifestation and to conduct research on Instant Readiness. To reduce groupthink and social pressure to conform to some majority consensus, members of this purposively redundant collection of research nodes are not allowed to work together administratively or scientifically. They may or may not publish their research, depending on sensitivity. Their role is to have ready-made proposed solutions to existing and future biothreats, taking into full consideration the costs of indirect „fall-out“ consequences of those solutions.
Thes solutions are to be communicated to every Senate committee, upon request of the President of the United States Senate (or the President pro tempore in his or her absence). Each Senate committee will prepare a report reviewing the costs and benefits of each independent proposed solution. The collection of reports will be reviewed by the US Senate Intelligence Committee, which will make final – and binding- recommendations to the President of the United States.
None of the nodes of the SAAFR Science network may have direct or indirect financial entanglements with stakeholders that stand to profit from the implementation of specific response options. The employees of SAAFR are prohibited, by contract, from personally profiting from the response options they envision or report.
This approach
(1) Removes all perverse incentives connected to vital responses to biothreats.
(2) De-politicizes the process of biothreat response
(3) Uses the power of parallel solution generation and information processing in a manner similar to a multiple-layered neural network
(4) Allows the solution sets to be considered in light of projected costs in overt and explicit terms of human pain and suffering from the biothreat AND due to unintended consequences.
It’s time to walk away from the current uniquely American form of corporatist fascism. It’s time for SAAFR Science.

Can We Cure Lyme Disease….or What?
https://www.lymedisease.org/cure-for-lyme-disease-or-what/By Dorothy Kupcha Leland27 AUG 2020
TOUCHED BY LYME: Can we cure Lyme disease…or what?
The following question from somebody named Tom showed up in my inbox today:
Do you know of a cure for Lyme disease or are we just throwing money at it year after year?
That was the whole message. I know nothing about Tom’s circumstances, but he asks a fair question and I’ll answer it as best I can.
If Tom’s experience is anything like that of 12,000+ Lyme patients enrolled in the MyLymeData project, he’s been sick for years. He probably had to go through four or more doctors before even being diagnosed with Lyme disease. And by that time, he’d probably run through whatever treatment options his insurance might have covered—and is now deep into “paying out-of-pocket” territory.
He likely continues to suffer from such symptoms as severe pain, crushing fatigue, sleep impairment and cognitive problems. (He could have a host of other symptoms as well.)
And from the frustration evident in his question, I assume that whatever treatment he has been paying for has not helped him.
Unfortunately, many people find themselves in the same boat. And there’s no magic-bullet answer.
Here’s my take on it
Lyme disease is a complex condition, with many confounding factors. Yet often, the medical establishment presents it like this: a perfectly healthy person gets bitten by a tick that miraculously carries only one infection—Lyme disease. Within a few days, the person develops a tell-tale rash and flu-like symptoms. The doctor prescribes a short course of antibiotics. Bingo! The person is restored to perfect health. Case closed.
And there are, in fact, some individuals who seem to fall into that “ideal” category. But there are tens of thousands of people every year who do not. And those people, whose symptoms may drag on for months, and years, and even decades, are kicked to the curb by the medical establishment. They are the ones crying into the abyss, “Is there a cure out there—somewhere?”
Some people with persistent Lyme eventually find their way to what we call “Lyme-literate” doctors. And, with longer treatment, many of those folks are restored to health. And yet, there are some—like Tom, I presume—who are still sick even after years of treatment.
Questions to explore
Tom, I feel for you. And I wish I had a magical elixir to offer. Instead, I have some questions for you to think about.
Have you been evaluated for co-infections? These are other nasty microbes the tick can transmit along with Lyme disease. Untreated co-infections can throw a wrench into the healing process.
Have you investigated the question of toxic mold exposure? It turns out mold can cause a heap of problems for people with Lyme disease.
Those are only two factors that can hinder your ability to recover from Lyme. I recommend the following books that can help you explore these and other areas.
Why Can’t I Get Better? Solving the Mystery of Lyme and Chronic Disease, by Dr. Richard Horowitz
TOXIC: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness, by Dr. Neil Nathan
Have you joined any Lyme patient support groups? Hearing from others going through similar challenges can be immensely helpful. You can learn about doctors, treatments, detoxification methods, what supplements others have found helpful—and gain much-needed moral support.
Click here to join LymeDisease.org’s network of online support groups.
Emerging treatments
Disulfiram is an “old” drug that has recently been repurposed as a Lyme disease treatment. It reportedly helps some people a great deal—and others, not so much. It is not without risks, so if you’re considering it, I suggest you do your homework. The following article offers a good introduction: What is disulfiram and why is it sparking excitement in the Lyme community?
Many patients tell me that medical cannabisrelieves a lot of their Lyme symptoms—including pain and insomnia. Again, you need to do your homework. Cannabis comes in different forms and strengths, and you need to find the right combination for you. And, alas, it’s not legal in every state.
Tom, I hope this article gives you some ideas about new ways to pursue healing.
Furthermore, I encourage anyone who has been diagnosed with Lyme disease to enroll in MyLymeData—whether you are currently sick or well. This kind of information about Lyme disease has never before been collected on such a large scale. Your experiences can help pave the way for a cure—for Tom, and a whole lot of other people.

**Comment**
Great post and great question – one I purposely did not investigate for a long time. I just couldn’t handle the potential answer! I had to bury my head in the sand and believe I was going to get better.
Besides the resources mentioned within the article, I highly, highly recommend Dr. Burrascano’s video where he not only gives the history of Lyme, but goes into detail on treatment nuances that helped not only him, as he was infected, but many of his patients as well.
The video is here: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/12/28/the-history-of-lyme-disease-dr-burrascano/
I highlight the video here: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/02/22/why-mainstream-lyme-msids-research-remains-in-the-dark-ages/
Please talk about these issues with your practitioner and the two of you need to hunt to ground all of your rabbit-holes that are thwarting your progress – and there can be many. At the ILADS convention a few years ago, MCAS was all the rage as Lyme doctors were finding a large portion of their patients struggled with it.
Leland’s suggestion of finding a local support group is also helpful. I’ve learned more from patients than I have from doctors as we share what we’ve learned, what’s helped, and what hasn’t. Of course, these things vary from patient to patient and shouldn’t solely be used for decisions – but will help you whittle things down. I often have a „show and tell“ day where I ask everyone to throw what has worked into a box and bring it to group. This way we can visually see and touch many different products and in some cases even try things before we have to spend money in purchases (like with Biomats, portable saunas, etc). I really enjoy these meetings as there’s always so much to learn and products continually change.
