lewrockwell--2020-06-19--COVID-19 Coronavirus Testing: No, the President Is Not Bats_ _t Crazy

Well , the online censors already buried this report with a headline like that .
The headline of a Huffington Post article of June 15 , 2020 reads : “ Trump Suggests Stopping COVID-19 Tests Would Result In Fewer Cases.
” To which a critic responded President Trump ’ s logic : “ If you stopped charging people with murder , you ’ d have no murder convictions.
” What President Trump said : “ “ If we stop testing right now , we ’ d have very few cases , if any.
” A similar Tweet by President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ridicule : “ Without testing…we would be showing almost no cases.
” The President ’ s statement brought more critical tweets : “ If I close my eyes right now , it won ’ t be sunny anymore !
” And another : “ If we got rid of x-rays , we ’ d have very few cavities , if any.

There are a lot of suspicious activities surrounding the arrival of the COVID-19 coronavirus in the U.S .
It is just that there is no one to interpret the COVID-19 crimes of the day .
The news press , the so-called 4th estate , is part of the problem rather than the solution .
News agencies parrot press releases from the Centers for Disease Control without question .
They are distributors of propaganda and fear .
Whatever anti-viral technologies do gain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the bet is they will be expensive and American-based .
Just look at the scientific pillorying hydroxychloroquine has undergone , a 37-cent medicine .
While the vast majority of Americans are overcoming COVID-19 infections , they aren ’ t doing it via antibodies .
Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has said “ America needs to win the coronavirus vaccine race ” and said “ The United States will have a ‘ better ’ vaccine than China.
” In a Fox News report dated April 5 , 2020 , reporter Maria Bartiromo asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ If the Chinese were to create a vaccine in six months or less and they release it at scale to the U.S. , is the FDA ready to quickly review that data to make this vaccine available to the United States ?

For one , the Centers for Disease Control was unprepared for this epidemic even though over two years earlier the direct of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci predicted ( threatened ) there would be such an infectious disease outbreak in the U.S. that happened to occur at a politically-sensitive pre-election time .
The shortage of face masks and ventilators was blamed on the Executive Branch of government , not the CDC that has continued responsibility for such outbreaks regardless of who occupies the White House .

Then Dr. Fauci said Americans didn ’ t need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he said .
But then later admitted , after a shortage of masks become evident , that he dismissed masks because they were in short supply .
So , you mean Dr. Fauci lied to the public to cover for his own agency ’ s failure to prepare ?
Yes .
Independent investigative journalist Rosemary Frei , writing at Off-Guardian.org , asks the question : “ Were conditions for high death rates at care homes created on purpose ?
” Nursing home deaths comprise over 40 % of all COVID-19 related deaths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nursing homes to accept transfers of hospitalized elderly patients with COVID-19 infection , essentially assuring the virus would spread to the frail elderly .
Frei says one of the first malicious practices was to frighten nursing home staff so much they fled their jobs in fear .
Morphine , a potent pain reliever , was given to many of these elderly institutionalized patients .
But morphine is linked with impaired immunity and increased susceptibility to lung infection .
Sedatives should never be given to bedridden patients due to the danger of pneumonia .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ morphine lung or COVID-19 lung ?
This is as close to murder as it gets .
The U.S. spent $ 166 billion on nursing home expenditures in 2017 .
COVID-19 coronavirus is killing nursing home patients and African Americans , two groups of Americans that cost the federal government the most money .
Isn ’ t that convenient .
With no payments going towards FICA payments ( Medicare/Social Security ) from 40 million unemployed Americans , those trust funds will dry up faster than predicted .
An early report published in the European @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a considerable number of news reports , claimed smokers were at decreased risk for COVID-19 infection and death .

The virus has a political preference .
None dare call this murder , for a coronavirus that arrived @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Event 21 ” pandemic drill .
What about hydroxychloroquine , the drug the President took along with zinc ?
Josh Mitteldorf writing at scienceblog.com explains two prestigious medical journals had to withdraw their condemning reports on hydroxychloroquine when outside reviewers requested the data for review .
The Lancet said hydroxychloroquine was “ worse than useless.

You may never get your “ immunity passport ” Of acute concern are “ immunity passports ” that are a proposed requirement for air travel .
Those individuals who developed immunity without antibodies would not be granted passports .

Does this mean natural immunity is not lasting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immunizations will be required .
No one knows for sure .
A just-released study of hospital workers who were exposed to infected patients reveals only 4 % of 23,000 had antibodies , but researchers estimate 25 % contracted the COVID-19 disease .
Professor Karol Sikora , an advisor to The World Health Organization says : “ the majority of ( COVID-19 coronavirus ) infected patients have a negative antibody test even though they have had the coronavirus.

These patients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 22 times each over a 35-year period .
Dr. Edridge concludes the human body only develops short-term immunity from coronaviruses .
In another recent study , antibody levels declined by 50 % in 6-months and 75 % after nine months .
Anthony Fauci , director of the US National Institute of Infectious Diseases , says natural immunity ( without vaccines ) for coronaviruses is not long-lived , inside of a year .
Vaccinologist Greg Polland MD of the Mayo Clinic says immunity for seasonal coronaviruses may last several years or as little as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bonanza for vaccine makers .
A COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine may have to be administered over and over .
That doesn ’ t rule out there will be other ways to produce long-term antibodies , but it certainly casts a pall over current efforts to eradicate this pathogenic cold virus .
Human populations would be perpetually held in lockdown if antibodies are the only measure of effectiveness of natural immunity or vaccine induced immunity .
Few will be able to obtain an “ immunity passport.

The scientific community knows it is on a road to nowhere @ @ @ @ @ @ @ timely manner .
There are two types of T-cells : CD4s for immune maintenance and CD8 for eradication of pathogens .
When these CD4 and CD8 T-cells become overactive , an autoimmune reaction takes place .
The body attacks itself and destroys tissues and organs .

When the immune system is overly sensitive it can be switched on by “ self-molecules , ” your own tissues and organs , not just “ non-self ” proteins .

” ( Read below ) In 2004 researchers at Harvard reported a red wine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ superior manner to other molecules , activates a survival gene called Sirtuin1 .
Any physical or mental stress activates Sirtuin1 .
When studying the immune response , the removal of the Sirtuin1 gene from living cells overly sensitizes the ability of the body to tolerate and withstand infectious or allergic agents .
In other words , the Sirtuin1 gene keeps a lid on the human immune system .
In an oversimplified explanation , T-cells can become excessively active and this becomes autoimmune disease .
Resveratrol does the opposite via the Sirtuin1 gene .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ level of allergens and germs are “ tolerated.
” Resveratrol via activation of Sirtuin1 inhibits T-cell activation and reduces inflammation .
Therefore , resveratrol is an immune system normalizer .
Resveratrol calms a cytokine ( sî-toe-keen ) inflammatory storm , the same storm that is involved in acute respiratory attack posed by COVID-19 coronavirus .
Resveratrol has been demonstrated to inhibit infection specifically by coronaviruses .
In the laboratory animals were immunized with a peptide ( two or more amino acids ) to provoke autoimmune inflammation in the brain ( encephalitis ) .

The Sirtuin1 gene is very abundant in the thymus gland where T-cells are produced .
The chart below shows how well resveratrol ( green ) inhibits autoimmune encephalitis in animals after vaccination .

In a thread of emails I’m privy to, a physician wrote:
“It is interesting that this disconnect in logical thinking may be a result of microvascular disease of the brain, a slow growing brain tumor, or metastatic brain disease. He (Trump) needs a 3T MRI and MRA with gadolinium in order to help the Republicans avoid a catastrophic surprise in November.”
So, the President needs a brain scan, while his opponent can’t mumble a coherent answer to any question posed to him.
Another comment:
“I doubt few people in the entire country are goofy enough to think stopping testing will stop the disease. If he didn’t demonstrate such incompetence every day, people would think that was ridiculous. We’re just numb at this point.”
Mind you, these are learned people posting these critiques.
These quips may play well in REDS vs BLUES political combat, but they do little to help understand the manipulation by the Centers for Disease Control or State governments conduct to frighten the public into prolonged lockdown.

Skullduggery in progress
One thing for sure, the federal government is operating right out in the open with its unlawful plannedemic. There are a lot of suspicious activities surrounding the arrival of the COVID-19 coronavirus in the U.S.
It is just that there is no one to interpret the COVID-19 crimes of the day. The news press, the so-called 4th estate, is part of the problem rather than the solution. News agencies parrot press releases from the Centers for Disease Control without question. They are distributors of propaganda and fear.
Whatever anti-viral technologies do gain FDA approval and come into common practice, the bet is they will be expensive and American-based. Just look at the scientific pillorying hydroxychloroquine has undergone, a 37-cent medicine.

Advice to forgo masks
Then Dr. Fauci said Americans didn’t need to wear masks. They were useless, he said. But then later admitted, after a shortage of masks become evident, that he dismissed masks because they were in short supply.

Nursing homes become graveyards
Independent investigative journalist Rosemary Frei, writing at Off-Guardian.org, asks the question: “Were conditions for high death rates at care homes created on purpose?”
Nursing home deaths comprise over 40% of all COVID-19 related deaths. State Governors and city mayors ordered nursing homes to accept transfers of hospitalized elderly patients with COVID-19 infection, essentially assuring the virus would spread to the frail elderly.
Frei says one of the first malicious practices was to frighten nursing home staff so much they fled their jobs in fear.
Morphine, a potent pain reliever, was given to many of these elderly institutionalized patients. But morphine is linked with impaired immunity and increased susceptibility to lung infection.

Of acute concern are “immunity passports” that are a proposed requirement for air travel. Those individuals who developed immunity without antibodies would not be granted passports.

People infected with the SARS coronavirus a decade ago generated protective immunity for up to 10 years. So COVID-19 may be a worse monster than first realized because immunity doesn’t appear to be long-lasting.
Dr. Arthur Edridge of Amsterdam University, has tracked ten coronavirus-infected individuals from 1985 to 2020. These patients experienced bouts of infection between 3 and 22 times each over a 35-year period. Dr. Edridge concludes the human body only develops short-term immunity from coronaviruses. In another recent study, antibody levels declined by 50% in 6-months and 75% after nine months.
Repeat vaccination
Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Infectious Diseases, says natural immunity (without vaccines) for coronaviruses is not long-lived, inside of a year.
Vaccinologist Greg Polland MD of the Mayo Clinic says immunity for seasonal coronaviruses may last several years or as little as 80 days.
It’s potentially a bonanza for vaccine makers. A COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine may have to be administered over and over.
That doesn’t rule out there will be other ways to produce long-term antibodies, but it certainly casts a pall over current efforts to eradicate this pathogenic cold virus.
Human populations would be perpetually held in lockdown if antibodies are the only measure of effectiveness of natural immunity or vaccine induced immunity. Few will be able to obtain an “immunity passport.”
Antibody therapy
Instead of provoking antibodies with vaccines, some laboratories attempt to instill antibodies themselves into infected patients.
Scripps Institute researchers have discovered super-powerful antibodies against COVID-19 coronavirus. These antibodies can be mass produced. Antibody sequences from B cells (bone marrow-derived cells) were gleaned and even in tiny quantities, blocked the virus in the animal lab. Commercial application is still months away though.

Another study conducted in China reveals blood plasma from COVID-19 survivors hastened recovery in severely ill patients by 5 days, with 91% survival versus 68% compared a group of patients who were not treated with plasma. The FDA approved blood plasma therapy in May of 2020.
The improbability of a COVID-19 vaccine
Only months into the viral pandemic researchers are grappling with a different phenomenon than they have faced with any other virus (save for Dengue Fever) — antibody-enhancement. The natural antibodies that are produced to quell COVID-19 infection, infect immune cells such as macrophages that normally ingest virally-infected cells. The immune system itself is infected.
How COVID-19 disarms your immune system
COVID-19 coronavirus deactivates interferon, a natural anti-inflammatory agent. Interferon is the “initial alarm” of the immune system. COVID-19 turns off the fire alarm.
T-cells, T-cells, T-cells
Dr. Karol Sikora points to T-cells which are activated prior to antibodies as being the likely agent that overcame COVID-19 infection.
Gus Dalgleish, professor of oncology at the University College London, says he believes “the majority of people fight the virus with T-cells, based on research so far.” T-cells decline with advancing age notes Dalgleish.
A study conducted by Rockefeller University examined blood samples of 149 recovered patients and found every patient’s immune system generated antibodies, just not enough of them, says a report in the Daily Mail (June 7, 2020). Maybe antibodies simply aren’t permanent. So-called memory T-cells produce antibodies that may last a lifetime. Maybe that sub-set of T-cells isn’t being produced sufficiently.
T-cell activity is not a current measure of vaccine effectiveness. Only antibodies are. And therein lies the problem. If you don’t develop measurable antibodies you are going to get thrown back into quarantine or refused a “immunity passport” for air travel. The scientific community knows it is on a road to nowhere and isn’t responding in a timely manner.
Two types of T-cells
There are two types of T-cells: CD4s for immune maintenance and CD8 for eradication of pathogens. When these CD4 and CD8 T-cells become overactive, an autoimmune reaction takes place. The body attacks itself and destroys tissues and organs. Various drugs are employed to dampen CD4 autoimmunity/allergy, but these drugs also impair immunity and therefore, vulnerability to infectious disease.
CD4 T-cells have distinct advantages over antigens (allergens, germs). The subcutaneous (under the skin) administration of antigens (i.e. vaccination) allows a lower dose of the immune provoking CD4 cells to be activated. The objective is to normalize the immune response so as not to damage tissues and organs, what is commonly experienced in autoimmune disorders.
Vaccination and T-cells
While modern medicine is in denial, there is a growing body of scientific literature showing a connection between vaccination and autoimmunity. The human immune system is designed to recognize the difference between “self” and “non-self” molecules. “Non-self” molecules like bacteria and viruses are attacked and abolished by an army of white blood cells and T-cells. When the immune system is overly sensitive it can be switched on by “self-molecules,” your own tissues and organs, not just “non-self” proteins. Vaccines are documented to cause confusion between “self and non-self-molecules” to induce chronic autoimmune reactions.
Something is missing
Mayo Clinic’s Greg Polland says: “there’s an immunological secret locked up in the long class of coronaviruses that we don’t understand yet.” (Read below)
Resveratrol: the immune system normalizer
In 2004 researchers at Harvard reported a red wine molecule (resveratrol), in a superior manner to other molecules, activates a survival gene called Sirtuin1. Any physical or mental stress activates Sirtuin1.
When studying the immune response, the removal of the Sirtuin1 gene from living cells overly sensitizes the ability of the body to tolerate and withstand infectious or allergic agents. In other words, the Sirtuin1 gene keeps a lid on the human immune system.
In an oversimplified explanation, T-cells can become excessively active and this becomes autoimmune disease. Resveratrol does the opposite via the Sirtuin1 gene.
With the Sirtuin1 gene intact, some level of allergens and germs are “tolerated.” Resveratrol via activation of Sirtuin1 inhibits T-cell activation and reduces inflammation. Therefore, resveratrol is an immune system normalizer.
Resveratrol calms a cytokine (sî-toe-keen) inflammatory storm, the same storm that is involved in acute respiratory attack posed by COVID-19 coronavirus. Resveratrol has been demonstrated to inhibit infection specifically by coronaviruses.
In the laboratory animals were immunized with a peptide (two or more amino acids) to provoke autoimmune inflammation in the brain (encephalitis). Resveratrol was then employed to activate the Sirtuin1 gene and quell the autoimmune riot.
The Sirtuin1 gene is very abundant in the thymus gland where T-cells are produced. The chart below shows how well resveratrol (green) inhibits autoimmune encephalitis in animals after vaccination.
This knowledge has application for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and many other autoimmune disorders, but goes ignored in modern medicine.

They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!”).

Try Libertarians’ Souls

According to that old aphorism we owe to Thomas Paine : “ These are the times that try men ’ s souls.
” Well , these are the times that try libertarian ’ s souls too .
Here , I do not refer to Covid , to Black Lives Matter , to the riots , to vast unemployment , to the U.S. imperialistic system , etc .
Nor , even , to issues on which libertarians disagree : immigration , abortion , voluntary slavery , anarchism , reparations , etc .
Rather I have in mind a series of episodes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indifferent , then at least ambivalent .
What is ambivalence ?
It is , according to the dictionary , “ the state of having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about something… ” So which events engender in us this reaction ?
Who is in the right when a public sector union strikes against the government ?
Who do we as libertarians “ root for ?
” The difficulty here is that at least for the anarcho-capitalist division of libertarians , all of government is illegitimate , and , anytime anyone attempts to undermine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ incline in that direction .
And , certainly , the teachers union , the civil servants union , the firemen ’ s union , the post office workers union , the police union , the municipal clerks union , etc .
are all in effect destabilizing governments with their gigantic salaries and fringe benefits which lead to bloated budgets and subsequent risks of bankruptcy for statist entities .
On the other hand , libertarians naturally look askance at all unions , certainly including these examples , since they do not limit themselves to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in threats and actual violence against “ scabs , ” against anyone else who stands in their way .
One way to resolve our ambivalence about this occurrences is to favor the weaker of the two , on the ground that the stronger is to that extent more of a threat to liberty .
This is akin to when the Nazis fight the Communists .
We support both , unless one of them is clearly winning .
Then , our support transfers to the other side .
On this ground , we would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public sector unions .
Ugh !
Government police are a mixed bag .
On the one hand , they are funded through compulsory taxation , which is certain one strike against them .
On the other hand , sometimes they do good work in the direction of liberty : stopping murderers , rapists , thieves , etc.
, or , if not preventing these occurrences , at least , sometimes , catching the miscreants afterwards and imprisoning them .
On the third hand , to say nothing of every once in a rare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handcuffed prisoner and murdering him , they attack victimless criminals such as those engaged in “ capitalist acts between consenting adults ” ( in the felicitous phraseology of Robert Nozick ) regarding sex , drugs , gambling , etc .
But , then , they comprise a “ thin blue line ” protecting us not from “ anarchy ” but from criminal savagery .
Meat Thermometer Digit ... Buy New $ 26.99 So , should the police be defunded or not , in our view ?
Well , as I say , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they should be replaced , holus bolus , with private cops .

As to that one , we are , gulp , at least somewhat ambivalent .
This bit of real estate has been taken over by what can best be characterized as Maoist Cultural Revolutionaries .
A white member of this take-over crew is demanding that “ All white people must pay black people $ 10.
” Can reparations from all whites to all blacks be far behind ?
This is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ privatization .
On the other hand , it can not be denied , this group of Antifas , Black Lives Matter people and other such folk are to be congratulated for in effect seceding from the dreaded , evil , monstrous U.S. government .
Pretty much nothing that does that can be considered all bad .
So where oh where are libertarians supposed to stand in this matter ?
No doubt more commentators will soon be piling on , but as of the time of this writing I am aware of only two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least vaguely supports this move , the other decidedly does not .
I do not propose to answer all of these questions .
My goal here is mainly to point to instances of libertarian ambivalence .
The Chinese government has been converting semi-submerged sandbars into small islands , all over the South China Sea .
Then , they claim a twelve-mile extension into this body of water as their sovereign territory .
Do we favor or oppose this initiative of theirs ?
On the one hand , the libertarian position on oceans , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ water is to privatize them .
But is this Chinese initiative a move in this direction or not ?
I think the answer is yes , but it is a close call .
On the bad side , state ownership of anything is a move away from private propertarianism .
The People ’ s Republic of China is certainly a government , so we must count this on the debit side .
On the other hand , before this initiative of theirs , the ruling doctrine was freedom of movement on the seas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Navigation Operations.
” But that is the exact polar opposite of the libertarian doctrine of privatization .
Imagine if there were such a natural law as “ freedom of movement on the land.
” That would mean , if the analogy holds , that everyone would be free to wander wherever he wanted to : onto someone else ’ s farm , factory or , indeed , private residence .
Under such a ruling , there would be no such thing , any more , as private property .
Water is just fast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slowly : icebergs ) ; land is just slow moving water ( e.g.
, mudslides , volcanic ash ) .
Libertarian principles apply , and equally so , to both .
So , I give the nod to China , but it is indeed a close call .
At least that country is undermining this water socialist rule that ships may wander wherever they please .

And, certainly, the teachers union, the civil servants union, the firemen’s union, the post office workers union, the police union, the municipal clerks union, etc. are all in effect destabilizing governments with their gigantic salaries and fringe benefits which lead to bloated budgets and subsequent risks of bankruptcy for statist entities.

A white member of this take-over crew is demanding that “All white people must pay black people $10.” Can reparations from all whites to all blacks be far behind? This is not, exactly, the Rothbardian vision of privatization.
On the other hand, it cannot be denied, this group of Antifas, Black Lives Matter people and other such folk are to be congratulated for in effect seceding from the dreaded, evil, monstrous U.S. government. Pretty much nothing that does that can be considered all bad.
So where oh where are libertarians supposed to stand in this matter? No doubt more commentators will soon be piling on, but as of the time of this writing I am aware of only two responses to this challenge; one at least vaguely supports this move, the other decidedly does not. I do not propose to answer all of these questions. My goal here is mainly to point to instances of libertarian ambivalence.
4. Chinese ocean encroachment LauKingdom BBQ Accesso... Buy New $16.99 (as of 03:37 UTC - Details)
The Chinese government has been converting semi-submerged sandbars into small islands, all over the South China Sea. Then, they claim a twelve-mile extension into this body of water as their sovereign territory. Do we favor or oppose this initiative of theirs?
On the one hand, the libertarian position on oceans, rivers, lakes and all bodies of water is to privatize them. But is this Chinese initiative a move in this direction or not? I think the answer is yes, but it is a close call.
On the bad side, state ownership of anything is a move away from private propertarianism. The People’s Republic of China is certainly a government, so we must count this on the debit side. On the other hand, before this initiative of theirs, the ruling doctrine was freedom of movement on the seas, alternatively known as “Freedom of Navigation Operations.” But that is the exact polar opposite of the libertarian doctrine of privatization.
Imagine if there were such a natural law as “freedom of movement on the land.” That would mean, if the analogy holds, that everyone would be free to wander wherever he wanted to: onto someone else’s farm, factory or, indeed, private residence. Under such a ruling, there would be no such thing, any more, as private property. Water is just fast moving land (some of it moves slowly: icebergs); land is just slow moving water (e.g., mudslides, volcanic ash). Libertarian principles apply, and equally so, to both.
So, I give the nod to China, but it is indeed a close call. At least that country is undermining this water socialist rule that ships may wander wherever they please.
