An Amish community in Pennsylvania may have become the first group in the US to achieve herd immunity, a local health official claims. The administrator of a medical center in the heart of Lancaster County’s New Holland Borough, which is known for its Amish and Mennonite communities, estimates that as many as 90 percent of the religious families have had at least one family member infected with the virus.“So, you would think if COVID was as contagious as they say, it would go through like a tsunami; and it did,” said Allen Hoover, an administrator of the Parochial Medical Center, which caters to the religious community and has 33,000 patients. The Amish and Mennonite groups initially complied with stay-at-home orders at the beginning of the pandemic — shuttering schoolhouses and canceling church services. But by late April, they had resumed worship services, where they shared communion cups and holy kisses, a church greeting among believers. Soon after, the virus tore throughout the religious enclave.“It was bad here in the spring; one patient right after another,” said Pam Cooper, a physician’s assistant at the Parochial Medical Center. In late April and early May, the county’s positivity rate for COVID-19 tests exceeded 20 percent, according to nonprofit Covid Act Now. But Hoover said that it’s impossible to know the full extent of the virus outbreak since he estimates that fewer than 10 percent of patients displaying symptoms consented to being tested. The medical center saw on average nearly a dozen infections a day, or around 15 percent of the patients it serves daily, Hoover said. While infections ebbed through the summer, before picking up again in the fall, Hoover said new cases are now far and few in between. The center hasn’t had a patient present with virus symptoms in roughly six weeks, Hoover said. But some experts are more skeptical that a large outbreak has led to widespread immunity in the community. Eric Lofgren, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Washington State University, said herd immunity is possible but rare.“It would be the first general population in the United States that’s done it,” Lofgren said. Though experts have suggested that as many as 90 percent of people would need to be infected to achieve herd immunity, others said the exact threshold is still unclear.“The key is that there is not necessarily a magic number,” said David Dowdy, a professor in the epidemiology department at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Previous infections also might not be enough to protect against new variants of the virus, some experts have warned.“The only true herd immunity that we can bring as a community is for people to be vaccinated,” said Alice Yoder, executive director of Community Health at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health.
BERLIN: Germany's medical
regulator says it has received reports of 21 cases of rare blood clots
in people who had recently received AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine.
The Paul Ehrlich Institute said in an email Monday to The Associated
Press that seven people affected by the blood clots have died.
The incidence of an unusual form of blood clot in the head, known as
sinus vein thrombosis, prompted several European countries to
temporarily halt the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine earlier this month.
After a review by medical experts, the European Union's medical
regulator EMA recommended that warnings about possible rare side effects
should be added to the vaccine information provided for patients and
doctors.
Most EU countries have since resumed use of the vaccine.
The Paul Ehrlich Institute said that of the 21 cases reported in
Germany until March 25, 12 also involved an abnormally low level of
platelets in the patients' blood.
Of the 21 cases, 19 were in women ages 20 to 63, while two were in men ages 36 and 57.
During the period covered by the reports, some 2.27 million first doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine were administered in Germany.
Technocrat Bill Gates pictures himself the foremost expert on just about
everything: computer technology and universal ID, vaccines and
virology, climate change, land use, etc. Now he is investing in and
promoting spraying chalk dust into the stratosphere to create a global
sunshade to cool the planet.
The first test of a project backed to spray millions of tonnes of
chalk into the stratosphere, in an attempt to ‘dim the sun’ and cool the
Earth, could happen in June.
Harvard University experts will test
the system by sending a large balloon 12 miles above the Swedish town
of Kiruna and have it drop 2kg of chalk dust into the stratosphere.
The
aim of the estimated $3 million mission, backed by billionaire Bill
Gates, is to have the chalk deflect a portion of the sun’s radiation,
stop it from hitting the surface, and cool the planet.
Investing in global health organizations aimed at increasing access
to vaccines created a 20-to-1 return in economic benefit, billionaire Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates told CNBC on Wednesday.
Over
the past two decades, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated
“a bit more than $10 billion” into mainly three groups: the Global
Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
“We feel there’s been over a 20-to-1 return,” yielding $200 billion over those 20 or so years,
27-year-old Georgian nurse Megi Bakradze died earlier today after
being vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine in the city Akhaltsikhe.
Half an hour after receiving the injection on March 18, she went into anaphylactic shock and fell into a coma. She was transported to Tbilisi but doctors were unable to save her.
Relatives of Megi Bakradze claim that she had no concomitant diseases.The incident has caused a partial suspension of vaccination in the
high mountainous part of the Adjara region.
York regional police have become a militant pain in the ass. There's
not much more that we can say other than they are continuing to break
the law by using laws that mean nothing just to get people into custody
and hurt them.
The province of Ontario is a very dangerous place to be, not because
of all the criminals that Doug Ford has brought in but because of the
very police that are supposed to protect us.

Another corrupt politician imposing draconian Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown restrictions on the public has been exposed for having direct financial ties to Big Pharma.
Eileen de Villa, Toronto’s “medical officer,” is holding hostage the
city of nearly three million people under one of the strictest lockdowns
in North America. Meanwhile, her husband, Richard Choi, is taking cash
from AstraZeneca and Pfizer, two pharmaceutical giants that are
aggressively pushing Chinese virus vaccines.
Since Jan. 13, Torontonians have been ordered to stay at home. Most
businesses throughout the city have been forcibly shuttered since Oct.
9. And Choi, a cardiologist, has “financial interests” in two
multinational corporations that are profiting heavily from all the Wuhan
flu hysteria.
This is a heartbreaking recollection of April 19th from 2 fire fighters.

The RCMP have been found not guilty of any wrong doing.
This is a total abuse of power by SiRT.
RCMP need to be held accountable for their action.
They are not above the law.
If a citizen did this they would be charged.

She had hormone driven breast cancer as well as HER2 positive, which
grows and spreads faster than other breast cancers. Following a
mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, Michelle from Scotland was told a
few years later that the cancer had metastasized to her lungs and
bones. Using cannabis oil and radical dietary changes, in which she lost
more than 50 pounds, Michelle found out a few weeks ago that there is
no sign of cancer.

Chris Elston held a sign that said “children cannot consent to puberty
blockers” and for that he was attacked and eventually arrested. Puberty
blockers being used on young children should be seen as child abuse yet
in Montreal antifa thugs felt that his free speech needed to be stopped
with violence. Meanwhile in Vancouver the Vancouver police department
once again failed to do their job by arresting the wrong person in an
assault incident similar to what happened to Dan Dicks last July. In
this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth speaks with Chris Elston about
his signs, the attacks he’s been getting and why he continues with his
campaign to raiser awareness about the use of puberty blockers in
children. .https://www.billboardchris.com/
