Insurance chief talks about “unheard” of rise in deaths in working adults

Something is going very wrong. Insurers are paying out on more long and short disability claims, which we might expect in a pandemic, but in the 18 – 64 age group in Indiana deaths are up by wildly exotic sigma deviations above the norm.

Indiana life insurance CEO says deaths are up 40% among people ages 18-64

Margaret Menge

(The Center Square) – The head of Indianapolis-based insurance company OneAmerica said the death rate is up a stunning 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people.

“We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica,” the company’s CEO Scott Davison said during an online news conference this week. “The data is consistent across every player in that business.”

Davison said the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” who are the employees of companies that have group life insurance plans through OneAmerica.

“And what we saw just in third quarter, we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic,” he said.

“Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.”

The President of the Indiana Hospital Association confirmed that hospitals across the state were full of patients with “many different conditions” and that what Davison was reporting fitted with what he was seeing too. About 37% of the ICU beds were filled with Covid patients, but 54% were other conditions.

Evidence suggests it’s not untested Covid deaths

There will always be some who die of Covid who didn’t get tested. And in 2020 there were rises in unexplained deaths in different regions of the US at different times. But those peaks in unexplained deaths were always were during the same weeks as the peaks of the known Covid deaths or very close to them. That’s not what is happening here.

Davison is talking about deaths in the third and fourth quarter of 2021. He compares the current wave to the peak in winter the year before. But official cases of Covid in Indiana were slightly higher in 2020 than most of 2021.

Indiana Covid Cases

….

Official deaths were also lower in 2021, so unexplained deaths due to Covid should also be lower now than the year before, not higher.

Indiana Deaths Covid

So imagine for some mysterious reason, that Indiana hospitals got very slack, and were testing less in 2021. If that were the case, and they were missing Covid infections we’d expect test positivity would be higher — but it wasn’t (at least until until Omicron blew it away in the last week).

Indiana Test Positivity

Which leaves one new medical intervention that peaked in 2021.

Indiana Vaccinations

Vaccinations in Indiana were mostly rolled out from Feb to December.

It would be interesting to know which weeks Covid vaccines were rolled out for particular age groups and if the extra deaths in each age group were linked, like they so obviously were in the UK as shown by Neil and Fenton: Many deaths in vaccinated people were recorded as “unvaccinated” in the UK.

If the Indiana Health Department was really interested in the health of people in Indiana it would already have done that study.

There is going to be hell to pay when people find out.

    I has a severe reaction to the Moderna vaccine over a fortnight ago, and I’m still out of action with painful nerve inflammation. From the number of people I know of who had bad vaccine reactions, there have been many bad reactions. One friend would have died if her daughter had not found her on the floor.

    Another possible explanation could be fuel poverty, with soaring electricity prices making it more difficult for people to protect themselves against both heat and cold. But you would expect older age groups to be the victims of fuel poverty.

    I am furious that information about alternatives to vaccines has been actively suppressed, and that people are effectively forced to accept risky procedures (vaccines) without proper information about the risks and about alternatives. I have written three emails now to my state and federal MPs, asking the government to change itack on the coronavirus, but I fear they have fallen on deaf ears. Two of the emails were before I had my own bad vaccine reaction.

      Maybe It’s time more of us got furious about the suppression of information. I have written rather more than three emails drawing attention to the matter. Now I will call for action. THis problem can no longer be left to the elites.

      In NSW we are about to find the full cost of “living with COVID”. For that we should have access to every possible treatment and all the available information.

      When announcing the intention to “open up”, then new NSW Premier Dominic Perrotet declared that the elected government was taking charge. He must follow that through on this matter.

        Dominic Perrotet’s “opening up” needs to also be an opening up of the free flow of information and discussion, and opening up to medical practitioners’ professional opinions, diagnoses and prescriptions. Naturally, some of those prescriptions may be experimental in nature, but for goodness’ sake, we have a national emergency. We need all experimental drugs or re-purposed drugs to be approved for medical prescription and open public trial based on one criterion only: safety.

        Big pharma has had about two years to find alternatives, and it is now abundantly clear that they have insisted on their own expensive vaccines being fast-tracked while everything else has disappeared behind a wall of “gold standard” secrecy never to reappear. In the last two years, absolutely nothing effective has emerged from the big pharma swamp (very exepensive, yes, effective, no).

        We need a change of direction, and we need it now.

        My experience with writing to pollies is that they have form responses for those who agree/disagree with their current policy/stance and they merely reply with one or the other.

        I have 2 responses from the PM (regarding climate change) that are 98% identical, even though they were for different issues on the subject.

        I doubt that the pollies actually read our submissions as they have gate-keepers who do the donkey work and who ‘protect’ the time of their masters by not bothering them with contact from the hoi polloi.

        Don’t let that stop us from continuing to annoy them, though

      Dear Mike,

      Can you describe your reaction in more detail; days to onset, initial symptoms and current issues?
      What is painful nerve inflammation?

      The Covid Medical Network is starting their own registry of vaccine reactions. You can enter your case yourself if you would like to do so.

        I had the Moderna booster on 20 Dec. Two days of high fever, in which I basically didn’t know where I was, were followed by two more days of high temperature and the realisation that my right thigh was not functioning. A doctor in A&E expressed the opinion that the Moderna booster had caused my immune system to attack muscles in that area, probably because previous surgery had made it vulnerable to such attack. The A&E doctor stated that they were seeing a number of such cases from the Moderna vaccine. After blood tests and seeing two more doctors, it now appears that the attack was actually on nerves rather than on muscles. All movement is painful. I have just had another blood test, and hopefully will learn more from it tomorrow. I am starting to be able to move a bit more, but it is over a fortnight now and looks like taking many more days or even weeks for full recovery.

        Many thanks for the covidmedicalnetwork.com link. I will get onto it.

        All the doctors I have seen have been great. They have listened and they have thought carefully, they have been informative, and I’m sure they have done everything they are allowed to do for me, ie. for their patient. They are under a lot of stress. In contrast, Big Pharma profits are sky-high, they bypass the restrictions that apply to everything else, and none of their products seem to be very effective. Are we really going to have to have an expensive booster shot every 3 months for the rest of our lives?

            My understanding is that Vit D deficiency is strongly associated with severity of coronavirus infection, but that taking extra Vit D after getting Vit D levels up is not a suggested cure. I have been keeping my Vit D levels up for many months.

            Also many months ago, I obtained a prescription for Budesonide for use as early treatment if I began to display coronavirus symptoms, and I still have the Budesonide ready if needed, but (a) I don’t have coronavirus I only have a destructive immune response to the Moderna vaccine, and (b) Budesonide protects the lungs from inflammation so while I would expect it to be effective against Delta it might not be effective against Omicron.

          Sounds a heck of a lot like GBS to me.

          The immune system peels the myelin sheath off the nerves … not so different to going into an electrical system and peeling the insulation off the wires. It’s a known problem, turns up in heaps of the people reporting vaccine reactions.

          I got something like that years ago after being sick with glandular fever I had some balance problems … it never 100% got better but after a while you stop noticing and compensate.

          Did you actually want the booster, or got pushed into it?

          • #
            Mike Jonas

            Yes it could be GBS but that has not been a specific diagnosis. It presumably is possible for the immune system to attack nerves without it actually being GBS.

            I am very critical of the government’s approach on several fronts, but I have taken the view that if vaccines (or should that be “vaccines”) are the best available way to go then I’ll go that way but maybe look after myself in other ways too. I got the booster so that I could fly to see grandchildren. Well, I have certainly missed out on that!

            My next step, apart from trying to keep improving, will be to try for an exemption from any further vaccination on the grounds of severe adverse reaction. I’m not an anti-vaxxer, but I have been appalled at the demonisation of anti-vaxxers. It will be interesting to see how this goes…..

          The doctor is suggesting peripheral neuropathy triggered by the high fever. Possibly the reaction has done you a favour.
          One of the most likely causes of the condition is thiamine deficiency. About 5% of the population is highly susceptible to mild deficiency which can be aggravated by weight loss, fluid loss by fever, diuretic or antibiotic use. Worst case scenario is frank beriberi and manifestions of Wernicke-Korsakov syndrome.
          Supplementary thiamine tablets are effective in preventing the latter, but other effects such as neuropathy and cardiac effects are more effectively treated with thiamine injections.
          Don’t get a coronavirus infection if you a susceptible to thiamine deficiency. It is very easily treated but invariably mis-identified by medicos.

      I find the virtually mandated vaccination programme sinister. Never before have the powerful, either media, government or the tech giants been so focused on having everyone dosed and going into fits of rage when individual and groups refuse to obey. The horror when someone well known treats themselves with Ivermectin or some other not permitted therapeutic that works. Why are the powers that be concerned if some refuse or simply choose not to be vaccinated? if the vaccines are as good as they tell us (even if we need multiple doses and frequent boosters which prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are useless) then the vaccinated are protected and the unvaccinated are only a danger to themselves. Why are people who have had Covid still required to have their shots? If the CCP wanted to cripple the West they could not do better than what is happening now. Notice how no one seems to care about Africa or the sub Continent and whether they are vaccinated or not because they pose no threat to the CCP and the socialist elite in the West. I am deeply suspicious about the whole episode from inception through transmission, reaction and now the supposed cure. How many have lied to us? How much information has been stifled whilst propaganda has been constant? How many treatments have been suppressed to the point of illegality while untested vaccines have been foisted upon us?

      Co-incidence that all these factors come together? Leroy Jethro Gibbs says there are no co-incidences. Everything happens for a reason and I think the pandemic was well and truly planned. The only surprise for the designers was it’s phenomenal success and the ease with which people handed control of their lives to others. That must have made the authoritarians immensely happy. Happily some are fighting back but facing huge odds.

        Hi Laurie, If you read our OZ constitution you will find it is illegal for any Gov or body to mandate that you must take the jab.

        Anyone who insists has an automatic $1500 fine .

        It is up to the people to tell them where to go,I met a bloke down the street who carried a copy of the relevant part I also noted that it is also illegal that they mandate a face covering same fine.

      Look at the all causes death numbers.

      They tell us that deaths have risen 40%. When? Over what period?

      Early on they told us that overall deaths had fallen, apparently a result of actions taken to suppress CV19.

      Do these new alarming 2021 numbers simply represent a catch up for 2020?

        PeterS

        The interesting point to notice is the deaths due to any virus (or bacteria for that matter) appears to have dropped over the past couple of years due to the increase of personal hygiene as a result of the pandemic scare (real or otherwise) but the deaths due to the vaccines looks like it has been increasing over the same period. As has been stated before, in time we might be witnessing an explosion of death counts due directly to at least some of the vaccines.

    If the vaccines amplify existing underlying health conditions as has been hypothesized, then its a perfect storm for insurance companies.

    Logically then we should also see those with chronic health conditions like diabetes, heart conditions etc – thier health will possibly fail in the next 24 months.

    Evidence is mounting that the vaccines not the virus are killing the young and the old. The only question is the extent of this “great mistake”. If it’s as large as some say it is then without question we are witnessing mass genocide on an unprecedented scale. Time will tell, as always. Of course, it it’s true then the “genocide masters” will cook up yet another scam to divert the attention of the vast majority of people who haven’t a clue.

    Keep shining a very bright light in this area Jo. Its utterly wrong how AHPRA has attempted to silence our health professionals and not let them speak out, issue vaxx exemptions or prescribe alternatives to the vaxxes.

    When historians review this period all levels of Australian govt (even Gold Coast City Council has its own vaxx centres…) will have been shown to have been wilfully and recklessly negligent. The complete lies continually told on the vaxxes, the censoring of those who would ask sensible questions will be a stain forever on all our politicians and news press.

    What amazes me is that my wife and I and many of my contacts, can clearly see what is going on, but unfortunately what this crisis has also shown is that the person in the street has a complete absence of critical thinking and very quickly turns to malevolence against “anti vaxxers” or others who offer an alternate point of view. Something is very wrong with our culture and education systems that so many display primitive and unthinking responses. An unthinking trust of authority figures is a very dangerous place to be.

    According to standard Leftist “medical” and “scientific” doctrine the covid “vaccines” are perfectly tested and perfectly safe. Nothing can possibly go wrong. Nothing.

    And you will be censored, unpersoned, defunded, sacked/fired or ridiculed (or all of them) if you dare question the narrative.

    Just look at how Dr Robert Malone, as the most recent example of many, has just been censored and worse and is currently in the process of being written out of history. (See his interview with Joe Rogan on an uncensored site.) To understand all this, consult the Left’s manual, Nineteen Eighty Four.

    “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.

    Incidentally, in New York (governed by Leftists at all levels), authorities have introduced race-based preferential medical treatment for covid. Not an exaggeration. You can check it yourself. Certain races and ethnic groups get priority medical treatment over others. See video: https://youtu.be/DsnktigLUPc

Under even somewhat less serious issues anyone caught out doing that would be imprisoned. The question then is who gave the politicians the right to lie with impunity? The voting public at the ballot box of course. So, how can it be rectified? The voting public at the ballot box of course.

And that includes eminent medical doctors and scientists as well as family medical practioners. All medical professionals will be sacked, defunded, unpersoned, delicensed, censored and in Australia, even visited by police for issuing medical exemptions for masks or vaccines.

    In the following article a Melbournistan doctor is accused of issuing “fake” vaccine exemptions. But the exemptions weren’t fake. In the professional judgement of the doctor, his patients shoukd not be compulsorily vaccinated.

      Peter,

      I totally agree. It is the responsibility of our health care systems the US FDA/CDC to look for and find this covid vaccine autoimmune system problem. The first release covid vaccine problems are not going away. Omicron the dominate covid strain and it is as dangerous as getting a normal flu. There is no reason/justification now, to endanger and kill people by forcing to be vaccinated with the first release covid vaccines which because they force the body to produce the first release covid spike are very dangerous.

      This is from the pathological examination.

      “They discovered that in 14 of the 15 patients there was widespread evidence of the body attacking itself, something that is never seen before. The heart was attacked in all 14 cases.

      A number of salient aspects dominated in all affected tissues of all cases:

      inflammatory events in small blood vessels (endotheliitis), characterized by an abundance of T-lymphocytes and sequestered, dead endothelial cells within the vessel lumen;

      the extensive perivascular accumulation of T-lymphocytes;

      a massive lymphocytic infiltration of surrounding non-lymphatic organs or tissue with T-lymphocytes.

      Lymphocytic infiltration occasionally occurred in combination with intense lymphocytic activation and follicle formation. Where these were present, they were usually accompanied by tissue destruction.”

      David Maddison

      Peter, what is this nonsense about a “horse dewormer”? Do you not realise that many of the same drugs are used in both humans and animals of the mammalian kind? This is because humans share a similar physiology with other mammalian animals, hence non-human mammals being used to test drugs later used on humans.

      Do you talk about antibiotics such as amoxicillin as “horse antibiotics”? What about anaesthetic agents or anti-inflammatory drugs? Even Prozac is used in domestic pets.

      And many drugs have multiple uses. Apart from viagra being investigated experimentally to treat covid, it is in fact used to treat dogs for pulmonary hypertension.

      https://todaysveterinarynurse.com/articles/sildenafil-exposure-in-a-dog/

      Sildenafil is increasingly being used in veterinary medicine for dogs that have pulmonary hypertension. When used therapeutically, the dose can range from 0.5 to 3 mg/kg orally, every 8 to 12 hours.1,2 Sildenafil is often more cost-effective than other medications used for this purpose, making this the more ideal medication for veterinary patients.3

    Hopefully, in the case of extreme Nanny States such as Australia which practices compulsory vaccination, there will be future lawsuits against politicians and senior public serpents for personal injuries, financial losses and deaths due to individuals being forced to take the poorly tested vaccines.

    Sadly, in our system, politicians and public serpents cannot generally be sued for their lies or incompetence.

    Compensation for vaccine injuries needs to go way beyond getting a free funeral.

      If the TGA can disregard best practice WRT testing protocols because of a supposed emergency then prosecutors can disregard best practice WRT precedent when they make up new laws with which to prosecute every politician and health care professional complicit in dispatching the vaccines.

      And these people should know that an 18 year old (Irmgard Furchner) working as an admin under the NAZIs is being prosecuted 78 years after the fact. – The collabortors of today therefor have a LONG TIME to worry about getting dragged out of their beds in the middle of the night for their willful participation in genetic terrorism causing death and disability.

    Here’s ABS deaths stats for total deaths in 2020 and a quick quote. 2020 was a low year for deaths in Australia.

    It will be interesting to compare this low year for deaths compared to just completed 2021 , because of the vaccinations last year. But why was there a drop in deaths from respiratory illness in 2020 and also a big drop in pneumonia deaths? This doesn’t seem to make any sense?

    Anyway here’s the ABS link and many graphs etc to help us out. BTW I notice Covid deaths were 901 but now a reduction of 3 for Covid deaths in 2020. Now 898.
    Of course most Covid deaths occurred in VIC in 2020 and note Covid was the 38th leading cause of death in 2020.

    In 2020 there was a decrease in mortality in Australia.
    The five leading causes decreased, with a significant reduction in respiratory diseases.
    Rates from suicide, drug overdoses and car crashes decreased.
    Alcohol-induced death rates increased by 8.3%”.

      2020 was the first year of real COVID with lockdowns etc. It was also when better hygiene control standards were introduced to aged care in particular, due to COVID. I can state quite accurately that at my 91 yo father’s aged care no residents were “ lost” during 2020. I suspect that was due to much higher hygiene standards mostly attributed to staff requirements to those standards. In the first 6 months of 2021 5 residents died (including my dad). Was it vaccinations ? Probably, but so difficult to prove due to the general ailing health of those residents. Me? I suspect so. 30% of all mortalities happen in aged care. So, there could be your difference.

    This could be the circuit breaker we needed to end the madness. The insurance companies will raise premiums to cover the increased payments. Cover could be denied to companies that have a mandatory vaccine policy, or their premiums vastly increased. Conversely premiums could be reduced for companies that do not have a vaccination policy.

    As soon as the bean counters become involved everybody listens.

    Let’s hope the CEO’s of companies can be held personally responsible for vaccine induced deaths.

    Again here are interesting quotes from the ABS link above.

    “In 2020:

    “There was a 23.9% decrease in the age-standardised death rate from respiratory diseases.
    Influenza and pneumonia mortality had the highest proportional rate decrease of all respiratory diseases with a drop of 45.8% from 2019.
    There were 55 people who died from influenza. This compares to 1,080 in 2019.
    Pneumonia is also a common terminal cause of death, especially for older people who have long term chronic conditions. There was a decrease of more than 20% in influenza and pneumonia as an associated cause of death (where it was not the underlying cause of death).
    The decrease in the respiratory disease death rate from 2019 is the largest recorded over the last ten years.

    In Australia, it’s close to impossible for doctors to grant a medical exemption for covid vaccine for Australians, and any attempt to do so can result in a visit by police as the presumption is that there is no legitimate excuse for a medical exemption and therefore the exemption must be fake.

    So how did a famous visiting innternational tennis player just manage to get an exemption?

    And yet many thousands of Australians have lost their jobs and careers over their refusal to submit to compulsory vaccination.

      Hi David,

      It is actually possible to get an exemption to having the present clot shots, but it varies from State to State ( of course ! ). You can get an exemption if your Doctor declares that you have some medical reason to not have the vaccines…OR….in Queensland at least, you are enrolled in a vaccine trial.

      But generally, you are correct…it is difficult. I presently have an exemption as I am enrolled in a vaccine trial, due to start later this month ( I hope ). How a professional tennis player managed to obtain one is rather interesting…I think the answer is $$$$$$.

      “And yet many thousands of Australians have lost their jobs and careers over their refusal to submit to compulsory vaccination. ” Sadly, this is so true and our political masters could care less it appears.

You really have to wonder when you see a State Government actively trying to prevent people from volunteering for medical trials. How do you trial possible new vaccines for Covid , if you cannot find people to trial the drug…apart from the fascinating way Pfizer do it by making the trial the marketplace from day 1.

      It appears that there is a long list of young elite athletes who have died this year from heart attacks.

      This is a translation from an Israel site that discusses the problem. Due to the heart attack deaths, a large number of elite athletes have refused to be vaccinated.

      https://www.rtnews.co.il/?view=article&id=49&catid=22

      “The epidemic of athletes
      183 professional athletes, coaches and college and youth athletes have collapsed abruptly, and 108 have died. Some of the athletes, such as football stars Sergio Aguero and Christian Eriksen, collapsed in the middle of a game, in front of the spectators.

          Jusr because that website gives itself a name implying that they advocate truth doesn’t make it so. They can call themselves whatever they like. Who funds factcheck.org?

          The following is copied from elsewhere.

          The short answer is “No, they are not unbiased.” I see a lot of the answers quoting from the FactCheck.org site, which states they are unbiased and apolitical. However, a quick look at where their funding comes from paints a far different picture.

          Annenberg Foundation: $207,632 – A far left group activist . Annenberg are the founders and have been until 2020 they were by far the majority funder and primary funder of Factcheck.org

          Facebook: $323,745 – Starting in 2020 Facebook became the primary funder of FactCheck.org with the goal of discrediting posts on social media. (Basically Trump’s posts)

          Google: $100,000 – Google started partnering with Factcheck.org with the specific goal of starting a campaign to discredit anyone that went against the liberal Covid narrative. – From Google.

          Stanton Foundation: $50,000 – Leftist group promoting liberal journalist.

          Individual donors: $139,230 – a quick search of those listed are all on the left.

          This information is all straight from the FactCheck.org website. To think they are not massively biased would be naive.

          Gee Aye. The full study is behind a paywall, did you read it? Show me the stats.

          From the abstract:

          The objective of the study was to examine mortality trends and causes of death among professional athletes from the four major sports in North America who died during their playing careers.

          No mention of number of deaths compared to the general population.

          In fact read this further in the abstract:

          Out of 53 400 athletes who have historically played in the four leagues, only 205 died while active (0.38%).

          That tells me they were looking at long term deaths NOT for just one year.

    Here’s a link to the story of John O’Looney, an independent coroner and funeral home director in the UK.

    Here’s is the essence of his comments regarding the vast increase of excess deaths he had noticed in recent months:

    “There were no excess deaths in 2020 – it is that simple, and nothing will change my mind all the minds of those in the industry who have their eyes open to this lie – and there are many.

    The reality is the death rate only soared the moment they began putting needles into arms in January 2021 You can believe it or not but I was one of the people picking up these poor souls and a huge amount of them.”

    Recently John had an experience of the reality within a Covid ward, detailed in the linked video:

    The vaccine rollout is a clinical trial. The covid vaccines have only “emergency use approval” in the US and “provisional approval” in Australia.

    In Australia this is the definition of “provisional approval”.

    https://www.health.gov.au/initiatives-and-programs/covid-19-vaccines/approved-vaccines/how-they-work

    The COVID-19 vaccines have provisional approval. This means they can be legally used in Australia because the need for early access outweighs the risks. The manufacturers continue to collect data on vaccine safety and efficacy and will apply for full approval later.

    Sounds like an experiment to me. But with none of the usual liability consequences.

    I think veterinary drugs would be more thoroughly tested. Imagine injecting a multi-million dollar race horse with an untested or poorly tested drug, or worse, fraudulent data was provided for “approval”. If the healthy horse dropped dead soon after the injection, there would be serious consequences.

      which begs the question that no one has officially been able to answer; are the politicians getting the vaccine shots or placebos? Perhaps just as relevant, who are getting the vaccine shots and who are getting the placebo shots? After all, most don’t take the mask issue seriously as have been caught on and off camera at times. So, why would we assume they take the vaccination seriously?

    I can find no verification of the information contained in this article anywhere. So let’s look at “the centersquare” …

    and the quoted executive claims they are likely covid deaths even if that is not what is written on the certificate.

    but in the 18 – 64 age group in Indiana deaths are up

    Indiana is home to the life insurer. The data are nationwide not from Indiana.

    18-64 is the age range in which life insurance policies are paid out due to deaths. People younger don’t have them and older people cash them in. The focus of his comment was that age.

      I looked solely at Indiana below #34 but most of the USA experienced high incidence of Covid pre vaccines. Long covid has been talked about and experienced since early 2020. I figure the aftermath of all those infections prior to vaccines will show up in the health statics for years to come.

      It would not surprise me if insurance premiums are eventually higher for individuals who have contracted covid without the protection of vaccinations. Companies are already adding a premium for unvaccinated staff. If long Covid is isolated as a higher risk of death then it could be treated similar to smoking and attract a premium.

      USA has had declining life expectancy since 2015 and their experience with covid gives a clue why that is occurring.

    Joe Rogan Experience #1757 – Dr. Robert Malone, MD Full Transcrip

    Jan 03, 2022 Press

    Washington, DC — Today, Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-TX-22) entered the transcript of the Joe Rogan Experience #1757 – Interview with Dr. Robert Malone, MD into the Congressional Record after Twitter and YouTube removed the interview from their platforms. Dr. Malone is a widely published mRNA vaccine expert who went on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast to raise concerns over the COVID-19 vaccine. Twitter’s move to deplatform Dr. Malone and remove the interview from their site is the latest in a string of censuring individuals who dissent against the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccine mandates.

    “By deplatforming Dr. Robert Malone for voicing opposition and removing the interview, Twitter and YouTube are once again proving that they don’t work for their users but for big Pharma, big media, and the elites,” said Congressman Nehls. “When we stray away from our core principles of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and freedom of debate, democracy is lost. Today, I entered the transcript of the Joe Rogan Experience #1757 into the Congressional Record to preserve the podcast forever. Big Tech may be able to censor information on their own platforms, but they cannot censor the Congressional Record.”

      But also as the boosters started being rolle dout, we should see a full throttle wave fromt he booster around 15/02/2022, using same Lag Hypthesis.

        1] The third dose increases immunity, so after the fourth dose, you’ll be protected.
        2] Once 80% of the population has received the fifth dose, restrictions can be relaxed as the sixth dose stops the virus from spreading.
        3] you can be confident that the seventh dose will solve our problems and we’ll have no reason to fear the eighth dose.
        4] The clinical trials phase of the ninth dose confirms that antibodies remain stable after the tenth dose.

            Now let’s look at Germany in the late 30’s. Before the ovens, showers, camps and cattle cars, there were ghettos. How were the Jews confined to the Ghettos before being put on the trains? The “Gesundheit pass”. Medical movement passes based on race, and just like our “vaxx passports”, zero science. Was this tyranny? Or perhaps you would call this a “Compassionate act of a caring authority”?

            The jabs are killing and injuring. Far more than any attempted inoculation in history. With Omicron, the health risks of the jabs now clearly outweigh any risk from the virus. We are being forced to choose the greater health risk for the false promise of freedoms the enemies of democracy have no intention of returning.

              Konrad, the Leftists in New York have already introduced race-based covid treatment policies.

              Quoting myself from a post above:

              Incidentally, in New York (governed by Leftists at all levels), authorities have introduced race-based preferential medical treatment for covid. Not an exaggeration. You can check it yourself. Certain races and ethnic groups get priority medical treatment over others. See video: https://youtu.be/DsnktigLUPc

          Go on Leaf. What did I make up?

          Well, there is something Australians like me made up. That would be the energetic load for the MOAB that was improperly given to the US who used it to kill 90 children under the age of 15. Yes, Australian’s gave them this.

          There is no redemption for that.

          But … “everything they know, not everything I know.”

          If I were an atheist, Leaf, what would “redemption” mean for me?

    Coronavirus Australia live news: PM pushes cash handouts for Covid tests; NSW records 35,054 cases, Victoria 17,636

    Victoria records 17,636 cases, 11 deaths

    NSW adds 35,054 cases, eight deaths

    Most Australians will recover at home: expert

    Infectious diseases expert Robert Booy said the vast majority of Covid-19 positive people are able to manage the virus well at home, as case numbers rise in record numbers across Australia.

    Professor Booy assured people that adequate hydration, water and rest would help to manage symptoms which normally are mild and should pass in a few days to a week.

    “Most people can manage at home, and can manage well,” he told Sunrise.

    “They will not get severe symptoms. They will get a cough, fever, lethargy and fatigue, and they will get better over a few days to a week.

    “All you need is adequate hydration, water, bedrest, if you have analgesics for pain, and antipyretic, for fever.”

    He said people should look out for chest pain, worsening breathlessness and lethargy as worrying symptoms that might need further medical attention.

    “For people with chronic conditions or lung disease, some are given an oximeter, a special machine to measure the amount of oxygen in your blood, and you know where you need more attention or to go to hospital if your oxygen saturation is dropping.”

I looked into them, and amazon had plenty, inexpensive, but how reliable is the worry, so I never got one. But if anyone knows a good one, let us know.

        In the USA these can be had for from $20 to $30.
        You can trick them by not breathing hard and get a low 90s reading or breathe deeply and fast and get a 99. So, be honest.
        I’ll guess you might need to use it twice or three times a day if you want a leading indicator. Also, follow the same routine. Sit, relax, wait 5 minutes — then take a reading.

      If you take the undirected view of history, that may be the case.

      However it seems there is a co-ordinated effort to maintain the covid fearmongering, as covid = control.

      So it would make sense if the world is truly run by a cabal bent on doing wrong by humanity, that either a new bug will be released to reboot the world back into fear and hysteria to maintain an iron grip on populations, or a war might be strated.

      My money is on another bug, maybe a nastier one – aimed at scaring any vaccine resisters into taking the clearly non-functional clot shot.

      We are going to have to wait and see on that.

      For the unjabbed, Omicron is not going to make then any sicker than the jabbed. And for the unjabbed Omicron is providing natural immunity and some protection against previous variants as well.

      What is not known is whether the jabbed will get the same benifit from Omicron. With Gamma then Delta, infection post jabbing did not allow the jabbed to gain broad based natural immunity. They could get infected over and over.

      For the jabbed, the Omicron reinfection rate is not yet known. But given the data showing that the jabs have made the jabbed into “Omicron magnets”, I am not too hopeful.

          According to official figures: there has been 91,000 deaths in South Africa, but unofficially the figure is 273,000.

            Ivermectin was banned by the Govt and went on the black market (haha) and so became too expensive for most of the 30million people living there. The 273000 deaths would include the people I knew there, living in shanties or under bridges and drinking meths by pouring it through a loaf of bread first to get rid of the additives. That was when RSA did the world’s first heart transplant..

            Life in South Africa is very different to life in Aussie. Their cases have peaked & are dropping rapidly now, and the first Qantas flight landed there yesterday.

    Long Covid has become a serious condition in Indiana. The most probable cause of increased deaths in younger people is the result of long covid:
    https://www.wrtv.com/news/coronavirus/franciscan-health-program-helps-long-covid-patients-one-step-at-a-time

    So far Franciscan Neuro Rehab Services has had more than 900 referrals here, since January, with more than 750 people coming here for COVID-related symptoms.

    Any location that has experienced high incidence of covid pre vaccination will be experiencing impact of long covid for years to come. Indiana recorded one of the highest incidence of covid in 2020 with 10% of the population of the state infected.

    Long covid has been identified early in 2020 so is nothing new. It is a bullet that was dodged by countries/locations implementing effective controls against the virus spread before there were effective vaccines.

    Do we know – can we find out – if the current deaths in NSW and Vic are from delta or omicron? That information should be available as apparently they do know who has what. They may be the last delta infections – which is being edged out everywhere by omicron (according to the very dedicated John Campbell).

      Do we know – can we find out

      You would need to get inside information for that analyse. However it is uncommon for people to die a week after they have symptoms. With the original strain, day 8 was the tipping point. If symptoms were not improving by then they would likely have a tough time; typically three weeks from symptoms before death. On that basis I doubt any of the current deaths in Australia are a result of omicron.

      If you look at the peak cases for delta in say Italy, they lead the peak in deaths by 19 days.

    From ABC news …

    The eight people who died from COVID yesterday ranged in age from their 50s to their 90s.
    Five people had received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, two people were not vaccinated, and one person had received three doses of a vaccine.

    2 had 0 shots
    5 had 2 shots
    1 had 3 shots

    6 out of 8 = 75% of deaths were in FULLY VACCINATED
    2 out of 8 = 25% of deaths were in NOT VACCINATED

    Dr. McCullough: Outpatient Treatments for COVID-19 Have Been Suppressed

    January 3, 2022 11:27, Last Updated: January 4, 2022 14:08

    By Jan Jekielek and Masooma Haq

    The public should question why governments and public health officials around the world have put little to no emphasis on outpatient treatments in their efforts to fight the COVID-19 virus, instead promoting a massive effort on vaccines, according to Dr. Peter McCullough.

    “Lots of messaging on the vaccine, but zero mentioning on treatment, none. And it’s been from the very beginning. There is a theme here, I hope everyone’s starting to get the theme. There is zero effort, interest, promotion, or care about early treatment of people who are sick with COVID-19,” McCullough told The Epoch Times. “But there is a complete and total focus on people who don’t have COVID-19 and giving them a vaccine.”

    McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, and lead author of the first paper on early COVID-19 outpatient treatment involving a multi-drug regimen. In a recent interview with EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program, he discussed a wide range of evidence on COVID-19 preventative treatments that are being used around the world.

    He said drug treatments must be prioritized in the effort to stamp out the threat of COVID-19. “Early treatment markedly changes spreads. So we reduce new cases, we reduce the intensity and severity and duration of symptoms. And by that mechanism, we reduce hospitalization and death.”

      NOTHING is allowed to dilute the imperative to get ‘vaccinated’.

      For many years, every TV channel, every newspaper and every government has stressed the importance of a good diet (i.e. nutrition), exercise, getting out in the sun, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, etc, etc. Until now.

      Now, even when a person has been to an exposure site or been in contact with an infected person, they’re given no advice other than to isolate. Even worse, those who actually go and get tested, proving positive, are simply sent home to ‘wait and see’. Little to no effort is made, outside of hospitals, to save people from sickness. So is this a deadly disease or not? Sure, that’s what they say, but does this lack of action, advice and support for those who test positive make sense, if it really is so deadly?

      Meanwhile – Vaccinate! Vaccinate! Vaccinate!

          Just relating my observation, over many years, of the time frame for (good) reviews. In this case there are a lot of numbers to crunch and a lot of health systems etc that collect data in different ways. Then there is the questions that need to be addressed and finding ways to do it. This will also require a large international collaboration. All add to the time.

          I do think some good reviews will appear earlier that bight off particular chunks of data and which reveal new things that we fail to see while in the fog of being in the middle of it.

    Certificates of title
    Existing CTs were cancelled and CTs will no longer be issued. Existing CTs cannot be required to be produced to have a dealing or plan lodged for registration.

    Similarly, Authorised Deposit-Taking Institutions, such as banks, will no longer be issued with CoRD, which is the electronic equivalent of a CT.

    The Torrens Title Register has always been and will continue to be the single source of truth as to the ownership of a person’s home. The Torrens Title Register is securely stored and backed up by both NSW Land Registry Services and the Office of the Registrar General.

      Bit Frightening

      Clients CTs

      Currently, representative subscribers would be storing thousands of CTs in safe keeping on behalf of their clients. When CTs are cancelled, some firms may wish seek instructions from their clients on what to do with their CT. Others may want to just return CTs to their clients. Others may want to take the ‘do nothing’ approach, or even destroy them. All are viable options a firm should consider.

      If a firm is considering destroying a CT it is recommended that instructions are sought from the client in the first instance. Despite the CT no longer being a legal document, it is still the client’s personal property and should be treated as such.

      It is not necessary for representative subscribers to stamp a CT as “cancelled” or mark it in any way if returning it to their client after 11 October 2021. Likewise, previous advice was to keep the CAC secure. From 11 October 2021 the concept of the CAC is redundant and is no longer required to be kept securely.

      Protections in place when there is no CT

      The Torrens Register is the single source of truth as to a person’s interest or estate in land. All documents to be registered on the Torrens Register must be lodged by a subscriber, who must verify the identity of their client and establish that they have the right to deal with the land. Lawyers and licenced conveyancers are subscribers who can represent clients to prepare and lodge dealings.

      Lodging land dealings in paper will not be permitted from 11 October 2021. All land dealings to be lodged with NSW LRS can only be done electronically by a subscriber (e.g. a lawyer, licensed conveyancer, or bank) to an Electronic Lodgment Network.

      Queensland To Impose New Tax Rules For Interstate Investors

      20 Dec 2021

      Queensland’s “generous” tax system will soon be reformed to level the playing field between local and interstate investors.

      As outlined in the 2021–22 Budget Update – Mid-Year Fiscal and Economic Review, the Queensland government is eyeing to close the “loophole” in the state’s land tax system, which allows interstate investors, particularly those who hold investments in other states, to bear less liability.

      Under the “fairer” land tax system envisioned in the budget update, tax arrangements will be amended to account for the total value of land held interstate when assessing land tax liability.

      Here’s an excerpt from the budget update:

      A total national taxable land value will be established for each Queensland landholder, which will continue to exclude exempt land such as principal place of residence.

      The national taxable value will determine the appropriate tax rate that will then be applied to the Queensland proportion of the value of the individual or entity’s landholdings.

      In the current system, a local investor with a $1m property would pay $4,500 in land tax, significantly higher than the $500 duty required for an investor with a $600,000 property in Queensland and a $400,000 property in New South Wales.

      With the new approach, the interstate investor will now be charged with a $2,700 land tax in Queensland.

        Tax reform a slap to the sector

        Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) CEO Antonia Mercorella said the announcement of the changes in land tax is a “slap in the face” to sector supporting the local economy.

        “This treatment of property investors as an endless money pit is outrageous – the government is raking in a huge stamp duty windfall, then relying on private investors to provide the lion’s share of housing supply, and now they’re slapping investors yet again with new taxes,” Ms Mercorella said.

        The state’s mid-year budget showed a $5.38bn stamp duty revenue so far in the current financial year, with a projected end figure at around $16.53bn to $19.93bn.

        Ms Mercorella said the government had not consulted with relevant property stakeholder groups on this new land tax regime, which was the wrong move at the wrong time.

        “From a practical standpoint, it’s also baffling to understand how on earth they intend to get this data in order to double-tax investors who are already paying this tax elsewhere,” she said.

        “There is no other state or territory that takes this approach, and by treating property investors with contempt like this time and time again, investors may very well pull up stumps.”

        These reforms, Mr Mercorella believes, would scare off potential investors and would significantly increase the holding costs of existing investors, which would then result in higher rents.

        “It shows the Government lacks the ability to think outside the square and come up with alternative and innovative solutions to find new revenue streams,” she said.

        “You only have to look at the timing of this bombshell legislative reform to see the government are clearly trying to sneak this in under the radar at a time most people have clocked off for the year.”

    More preliminary evidence that the vaccines have led to a spike in deaths

    A recent shocking report in American Thinker suggests that life insurance payouts are considerably worse than executives expected. Obvious question: Is it an aberration, or is it for real? Alas, a cursory examination suggests that it may be for real.

    The scan of the following insurance companies confirms the initial report. For Prudential, they have had a massive 87% increase in death benefits paid comparing the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2021. Such a detailed breakdown wasn’t available for New York Life, but their 2021 year to date (1 Jan to 30 Sep) death benefit payout is up by 27%. Examining Pacific Life documents identifies multiple units. For Pacific Life, the year-to-date claims are up by only 12%. But for a subsidiary, Pacific Life and Annuity, claims are up by over 80%. This is an opportunistic search; more data may be forthcoming.

    Life insurance companies have strong incentives to be accurate in their reporting to financial markets. It is possible that these deaths represent neglected care, the postponed treatments of heart disease, cancer, and the like. But that seems unlikely, given the spike in the third-quarter deaths. And presumably COVID already took the most vulnerable in 2020 in the absence of a vaccine. These massive claims seemed to be a phenomenon of the third quarter — about six months after the vaccine regimen became widely available.

    This just offers further evidence that something is very wrong with these vaccines.

    End the mandates. End the vaccination program. And let’s start asking Pfizer what they knew and when.

        One could say that paints a grim picture. In actual fact, it’s a lot worse than that. We will all find out why soon enough.

    I realise this is a science site so my excuse for the following is based on the science of social relationships including psychology.

    Ever wondered why educated, intelligent people accept such propagandised fear narratives as the covid one?

    I thought listening to the following discussion between D. Robert Malone and European psychologist Dr. Mattias Desmet one of the most worthwhile hours I have spent in many a long day, thus providing answers to many questions.

    I especially appreciated the advice not to accept ‘the old normal’ narrative, and, of course that means, among other things, more creative, original ideas, thinking – based on Truth, i.e., Reality!

    I am reminded we were told that ‘Perfect love casteth out fear’, so maybe we also need to get our personal lives and relationships back in order? It would certainly be a good beginning.

    From another reader:
    https://www.statnews.com/2016/09/13/moderna-therapeutics-biotech-mrna/
    2016:
    ‘Delivery — actually getting RNA into cells — has long bedeviled the whole field. On their own, RNA molecules have a hard time reaching their targets. They work better if they’re wrapped up in a delivery mechanism, such as nanoparticles made of lipids. But those nanoparticles can lead to dangerous side effects, especially if a patient has to take repeated doses over months or years.

    Novartis abandoned the related realm of RNA interference over concerns about toxicity, as did Merck and Roche.

    “Now, as we’re going to human [trials], it’s pretty clear no one else is going to catch us.”

    KENNETH CHIEN, SCIENTIST WHO WORKS WITH MODERNA

    Moderna’s most advanced competitors, CureVac and BioNTech, have acknowledged the same challenge with mRNA. Each is principally focused on vaccines for infectious disease and cancer, which the companies believe can be attacked with just a few doses of mRNA. And each has already tested its technology on hundreds of patients.

    “I would say that mRNA is better suited for diseases where treatment for short duration is sufficiently curative, so the toxicities caused by delivery materials are less likely to occur,” said Katalin Karikó, a pioneer in the field who serves as a vice president at BioNTech.’

    “so the toxicities caused by delivery materials are less likely to occur,” said Katalin Karikó”

    Any change in that?

      Thus, it may still be a work in progress to find the best balance of inflammation and any deleterious toxicities via harnessing adjuvant activities of mRNA while limiting or suppressing inherent toxicities for vaccines and immunotherapeutics. This will involve optimizing nucleoside substitutions, the design of other elements of the mRNA construct, any included immunostimulants, and/or specific formulations, delivery devices, and routes of administration. The mechanisms of mRNA inflammation that are relevant to their potential efficacy and safety as vaccines are also reviewed elsewhere [34], where they are aptly referred to as the “yin and yang of innate immunity”.

      Future considerations for the mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine platform
      ‘Vaccines based on mRNA-containing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) pioneered by Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman at the University of Pennsylvania are a promising new vaccine platform used by two of the leading vaccines against coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19). However, there are many questions regarding their mechanism of action in humans that remain unanswered. Here we consider the immunological features of LNP components and off-target effects of the mRNA, both of which could increase the risk of side effects. We suggest ways to mitigate these potential risks by harnessing dendritic cell (DC) biology.’

        CDC:

        ‘-Getting a COVID-19 vaccine can help protect you from severe illness from COVID-19.
        COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant now, or might become pregnant in the future.

        People who are pregnant may receive a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot.

        The monitoring of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy is ongoing. CDC will continue to follow people vaccinated during all trimesters of pregnancy to better understand effects on pregnancy and babies.

        Evidence about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy has been growing. These data suggest that the benefits of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine outweigh any known or potential risks of vaccination during pregnancy.

        If you are pregnant and receive a COVID-19 vaccine, consider participating in the v-safe pregnancy registry
        If you are pregnant and have received a COVID-19 vaccine, we encourage you to enroll in v-safe. V-safe is CDC’s smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after vaccination. A v-safe pregnancy registry has been established to gather information on the health of people who are pregnant who have received a COVID-19 vaccine. If people enrolled in v-safe report that they were pregnant at the time of vaccination or after vaccination, the registry staff* might contact them to learn more.’

        Nobody could come up with something else than a vaccine of which ‘they’ still have TO LEARN MORE about…

        I understand there is great potential with the mRNA technology, but I wonder if they didn’t cut to much corners for these vaccines at the end?

        What about:
        https://thefederalist.com/2021/12/16/studies-proving-generic-drugs-can-fight-covid-are-being-suppressed/ (as mentioned before)
        Since the summer of 2020, U.S. public health agencies have continually shut down the use or even discussion of generic treatments that are minimally profitable. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded 20 large research studies of patented pharmaceutical industry drugs before only recently (and slowly) agreeing to study repurposed generic medicines.
        ———–
        CDC:
        ‘COVID-19 Vaccines Are Safe for Children and Teens
        Before recommending COVID-19 vaccination for children, scientists conducted clinical trials with thousands of children and no serious safety concerns were identified. The FDA gave the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine emergency authorization to use in children ages 5-15 years old and full approval to use in people ages 16 years and older.’

        and clinical trials still running until 2026… to know more about doses etc…

    I still wonder at the statement by PM Morrison, that the government would compensate for harm from the current vaccinations. It was odd that there seems to have been little questioning from the media about what harm was he
    talking, and the matter has passed as a quiet little by-line into the annals of history.

    While government provides details of reported side reactions, as pointed out in prior blogs at this site, I can’t recall any publicly announced concerns over reactions to these vaccines that would have the government come out and make a totally unchallenged statement on making reparations/compensation. How does a government make such a statement yet there is no chatter in the general press on what it’s all about, and governments and businesses dictate the people must have the vaccines officialdom has never addressed concerns about, if they want to participate in society?

    I believe the powers that be may have their comeuppance around the corner. There are reports of a COVID-19 strain that is resistant to the current vaccines. If there is a hiatus in having effective vaccines against a resistant, problem strain, then governments are going to be forced to face up to the reality of using those useful therapeutic agents they have so far denied exist and have forbidden their use. Explanation please Mr Hunt, PM and State Premiers and Health departments. Similarly, if the Australian vaccine the government refuses to allow to be used here retains activity against the resistant strain, the PM has an even greater problem of explaining himself for his refusals. A continuing refusal and the entire approach so far, used under signed, secret contracts to overseas companies will blow up in his face at a time he has to stand for re-election.

      Evening Doc,
      I reckon the words “…strains resistant to the current vaccines…”, which are also being used in other news segments, are another misuse of language. i submit the correct usage should be ” the ‘vaccines’ are ineffective against all recent variants, and should not be prescribed ” . They were designed specially to address the alpha variant, and not successfully. In fact the Phase three trials are us, or at least those being vaxxed.
      Cheers,
      Dave B
      (And that’s ignoring the adverse reactions.)

    Qantas pilots returning are making fundamental errors, this is attributed a reduction in cognitive capacity.
    Pilot and co-pilot?

      Inspiring confidence in your next flight

      “Want better? The FAA says no pilot should be medically cleared to fly if they use a medication that has been fully approved for less than one year. There are no fully-approved jabs actually available in the US so any commercial pilot who has been jabbed, by the FAA’s rules, is medically unfit! Of course the actual law when it comes to airman medical certificates is irrelevant when politics get in the way of not dying at the controls — right?”
