Coronamonomania Lives Forever, Part 201

By March 25, 2023Commentary

Here is the kind of research the clowns in my home state of Minnesota do–if it isn’t about diversity, equity and inclusion, it doesn’t get done.  So they looked at deaths during the epidemic.  Now they could have done something useful like look at death certificates and see if a death actually should be attributed to CV-19.  They could have looked for pull-forward deaths, or other changes in causes of death by age or sex.  But no, they looked at cause of death by race and ethnicity before and during the epidemic.  And they found disproportionate numbers of deaths among African-Americans.  Totally to be expected since African-Americans engage in more health care behaviors likely to lead to serious illnesses of all kind–overeating, smoking, excessive use of drugs and alcohol, lack of exercise.  So they have higher rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc.  And they get more serious CV-19 infections and die.  Engage in better health care behaviors and you might have better health outcomes.  (Medrxiv Paper)

More research finding that because of the response to the epidemic, children and adolescents had more screen time, had lower feelings of well-being and more mental health issues.  Congratulations little Timmy Walz and you other pathetic politicians who pushed these lockdowns.  (Medrxiv Paper)

More good news for children; depriving them of normal interactions with various pathogens weakened their immune responses so that there is a higher proportion of serious influenza cases among this age group.  (Medrxiv Paper)

Another study looking at the impact of prior infections and vaccination comes from Japan.  People with prior infections and vax had higher levels of antibodies than those with vax alone and a lower risk of subsequent infection from Omicron.   (JAMA Article)

During a relatively short follow-up period this research from France found that people 60 and over who took the bivalent booster versus the monovalent one had a whooping 8% greater protection.  Hmmm.  (Medrxiv Paper)

In a study that is somewhat supportive of long-lasting CV-19 effects, this study did pulmonary exams on hospitalized CV-19 patients, six months and two years after their hospitalizations.  39% continued to show pulmonary impacts at two years post-hospitalization.  So serious infections can have fairly long-lasting effects on the lungs.  (Rad. Article)

This study claims to show that countries that vaxed and boosted faster had lower excess mortality, but all it really shows is that in richer countries with better health systems and better average health of residents, there was lower mortality.  Woopdedo.  (Medrxiv Paper)

    3rd paragraph – “More good news for children; depriving them of normal interactions with various pathogens weakened their immune responses so that there is a higher proportion of serious influenza cases among this age group. ”

    I stated frequently in March and April of 2020 that the lock downs were effectively advocating for the evolution of the human species such that humans could only survive in a sterile environment.
    Astonishing that the medical experts failed to grasp a concept that has been known since Columbus had infected the native populations.
