Month: March 2023

The following is certainly is food for thought, and it comes from multiple sources.

Japan’s Toyota — is currently the world’s largest automaker. Toyota and Volkswagen vie for that title each year — each taking the crown from the other — as the market moves.

GM — America’s largest automaker — is about half Toyota’s size –thanks to its 2009 bankruptcy and restructuring.

Actually — Toyota is a major car manufacturer in the U.S. In 2016 about 81% of the cars it sold in the U.S. came off American assembly lines.

Toyota was among the first to introduce gas/electric hybrid cars with the Prius twenty years ago. The company hasn’t been afraid to change the car game.

All of this is to point out that Toyota understands both the car market and the infrastructure that supports the car market. Probably understands better than any other manufacturer on the planet.

Toyota hasn’t grown through acquisitions as Volkswagen has, and it hasn’t undergone bankruptcy and bailout as GM has. Toyota has grown by building reliable cars and trucks for decades.

When Toyota offers an opinion on the car market it’s probably worth listening to.

This week Toyota reiterated — The world is not yet ready to support a fully electric auto fleet.

Toyota’s Robert Wimmer (head of energy & environmental research) said this week in testimony before the U.S. Senate, “If we are to make dramatic progress in electrification it will require overcoming tremendous challenges – challenges including : refueling infrastructure/battery availability /consumer acceptance / and affordability.”

Wimmer’s remarks come on the heels of GM’s announcement that it will phase out all gas internal combustion engines (ICE) by 2035.

Tellingly, both Toyota and Honda have so far declined to make any such promises. Honda is the world’s largest engine manufacturer (when you include : boats / motorcycles / lawnmowers / etc) Honda competes with Briggs & Stratton in those markets amid increased electrification of [traditionally gas powered] lawnmowers / weed trimmers /etc.

While manufacturers have announced ambitious goals just 2% of the world’s cars are electric at this point.

Buyers continue to choose ICE over electric because of: price /range / infrastructure /affordability / etc. Only a small percentage of people would choose an electric car unless forced to buy.

There are 289.5 million cars just on U.S. roads as of 2021. About 98 percent of them are gas-powered.

Toyota’s RAV4 took the top spot for purchases in the 2019 U.S market — Honda’s CR-V is second and GM’s top seller (Equinox) comes in at #4 behind the Nissan Rogue. GM only has one entry in the U.S.top 15. Toyota and Honda dominate – each with a handful in the top 15.

Toyota warns: the US electrical grid and infrastructure simply aren’t there to support the electrification of the private car fleet.

A 2017 U.S. government study found we would need about 8,500 strategically-placed charging stations to support a fleet of just 7 million electric cars.

That’s about six times the current number of electric cars.

But no one should be talking about supporting just 7 million cars.

We should be talking about powering about 300 million within the next 20 years if all manufacturers follow GM and stop making ICE cars.

We are gonna need a biggerenergyboat to deal with connecting all those cars to the power grids – a WHOLE LOT bigger boat.

But instead of building a bigger boat we may be shrinking our boat. Power outages in California and Texas have exposed issues with power supplies even at current usage levels.

Increasing usage of wind and solar, — both of whichproveunreliable — has driven some coal and natural gas generators offline

We will need much more generation capacity to power about 300 million cars if we’re all going to be forced to drive electric cars, and we will be charging them frequently. Every roadside gas station must be wired to charge electric cars and charging speeds must increase greatly

Current technology allows charges in “as little as 30 minutes” – but that best-case fast charging cannot be done on home power. Charging at home (on alternating current) takes a few hours to overnight and will increase the home power bill.

That power, like all electricity in the United States, comes from generators using: natural gas /petroleum/coal/nuclear/wind/solar/or hydroelectric sources.

Even half an hour is an unacceptably long time to spend charging. It’s about 5 to 10 times longer than a gas pump takes. Imagine big rigs with much larger tanks. Imagine the charging lines that would form every day if charge time isn’t reduced by 70 to 80 percent

We can expect improvements but those won’t come without cost. Electrifying the auto fleet requires massive overhaul of the power grid and an enormous increase in power generation.

Toyota has publicly warned about this twice while its smaller rival GM is pushing to go electric. GM may be trying to win favor with those in power in California/ Washington / and in the media.

Toyota’s addressing reality, and they know what they are talking about.

Toyota isn’t saying none of this can be done. They are saying that conversations are not anywhere near serious and will not produce meaningful results.

There are a few things that we all know are true these days … namely what “those that know best” did during Covid did not actually turn out for the best. This is especially true for school children. Let’s review how this “enlightened decision” to keep kids out of school affected children both nationally, regionally, and locally.

Nationally:

Federal data released Feb. 9 painted a bleak picture for education in the United States. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many students were forced to learn at home due to lockdown orders instituted by state governments that closed down public schools. Over the past year, the nation has seen the consequences of these measures as children are struggling to maintain proficiency levels in subjects like math and reading.

The Washington Times reported:

“A paltry 26% of eighth graders were considered proficient in math in 2022 — down from 34% in 2019 before the pandemic, the most recent year the national report card was issued. Fourth graders in over 40 states saw their math scores decline. Only 36% scored proficient, down from 41%.

“Reading scores offered little solace, with only one-third of fourth graders marked proficient, continuing a slide that began before the coronavirus hit. Only 31% of eighth graders received proficient scores, the lowest average since 1998.”

From Liberty Nation News:

Almost half of K-12 public school students started this academic year behind in their grade level in at least one subject based on a national survey. The most common areas of concern were math and reading. However, it could be worse if your child lived in Democratic Baltimore, where a recent analysis of Baltimore public schools revealed that only 7% of their third through eighth graders were proficient in math.

The Washington Times reported:

“The 49% of 1,026 schools who told the National Center for Education Statistics’ [NCES] latest School Pulse Panel that their students started the year behind a grade level is statistically unchanged from last school year. But it’s much worse than the 36% of students before the coronavirus pandemic who started the school year on the wrong track, according to the agency, which is the statistical arm of the Department of Education.”

Mental health is also an issue, with experts explaining that safety concerns over recent school shootings, a shortage of teachers, and the increasing numbers of children seeking help for anxiety and depression all contributed to the decline in academic proficiency.

Regionally from EdSource:

After five straight years of gradual improvement, standardized test scores declined significantly last year for many California students, most of whom spent 2020-21 in distance learning. Gaps in achievement between Black and Hispanic students and their white and Asian peers, already wide before the pandemic, expanded in math and English language arts.

Locally:

Here in San Diego, a recent report confirmed what I have said innumerable times. Namely, that in this enlightened Democratic state, the Covid educational dictums significantly adversely affected those children in the lower economic spectrum. (In San Diego the school children who live in the less affluent communities south of I-8 did worse on standardized testing when compared to the school children who live north of I-8.) Of note, in general, the majority of the minority school children live south of I-8. Need I say more.

Again from Liberty Nation News:

“‘This data is tragic but expected. Every level of leadership in the school system is distracted from academics,’ said Sheri Few, president of United States Parents Involved in Education. ‘Government schools are so utterly focused on sexualizing children and indoctrinating them against their country and each other that real academic learning is clearly not the priority.’”

My question is … “Will the children that we have entrusted to be educated by the public school system ever recover?”

On Sunday I write about principled individuals that we all can admire. We have all heard the story of professional tennis player, Novak Djokovic, who refused to be vaccinated for Covid, and thus was not allowed to compete in Australia back in 2022, and still is not allowed entry into the U.S. because of his non-vaccinated status. Truly Djokovic is a man of principle. Are there other athletes who are similarly principled?

What about Cole Beasley?

A lot of the following has been exempted from a TMZ Sports article of 6/18/21, and it says all that you need to know about Cole Beasley, a man of principle. A man to be admired as principle is not something we hear a lot about these days.

“Hi, I’m Cole Beasley and I’m not vaccinated! I will be outside doing what I do. I’ll be out in the public. If you’re scared of me then steer clear or get vaccinated. Point. Blank. Period.”

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley  went on a passionate rant on his decision to NOT get vaccinated — not now, not EVER — saying, “I may die of COVID, but I’d rather die actually living.”

Years back, the 32-year-old had been going OFF on Twitter … calling out the NFL Players Association over new protocols for unvaccinated players during preseason.

Long story short — vaccinated players will pretty much be able to go back to normal, while unvaccinated will still be required to wear masks and stay at the team hotel … among other restrictions at team facilities.

While folks have raised the question — why not just get vaccinated? — Beasley makes it clear that’s not an option … and will sacrifice whatever it takes to stick to his beliefs.

According to ESPN in Dec. 2021

“Buffalo Bills WR Cole Beasley had been fined $100,000 for multiple COVID-19 protocol violations.”

“I don’t play for the money anymore,” Beasley added. “My family has been taken care of. Fine me if you want. My way of living and my values are more important to me than a dollar.”

Beasley says if he’s forced to walk away from football over his stance, he’ll welcome it with open arms and make up for all the time he’s missed with his family over the years.

“I’m not anti-vax or pro-vax — I’m pro-choice,” Beasley said in July. “With that being said, the issue at hand is information being withheld from players in order for a player to be swayed in a direction he may not be comfortable with.”

Kudos to Cole Beasley … truly a man of principle.

A Covid Dichotomy

As was apparent to me from the very beginning there was a wide discrepancy on how differently individuals acted with regards to Covid. Some of our friends would not come over to our house for “a bring your own food for dinner” in our back yard. Another friend, who is religious, has not been to live church for over a year, even though the church service is outdoors, with masks, and social distancing. 

Personally I have continued to have lunch with friends – albeit mostly in an outdoor setting. From the beginning of Covid my wife and I have continued to go to church, initially indoors, then outdoors and now indoors again both with distancing. We carried on as usual for both Thanksgiving and Christmas with our kids and grandkids from out of town. For the past year we have continued to babysit our young grandchildren who do go to preschool.

Why this Covid dichotomy? Obviously the reasons are multifactorial, with varied reasons for different folks. 

I just happened to read an article from the New York Times by David Leonhardt (yes, I do occasionally read things from the NYT, whereas I do not ever watch CNN or MSNBC – both of which have suffered recent dramatic drops in their ratings.) Mr. Leonhardt postulated that this dichotomy was primarily a Democrat-Republican thing, but personally I think this is an over-simplification of something more basic. 

I think that there are two things which have basically determined these dichotomous individual behaviors with reference to Covid.

First: As I have stated multiple times before, in general, individuals are basically either logical thinkers (frontal lobe) or emotional thinkers (midbrain). Granted logical thinkers tend to be conservative whereas emotional thinkers are liberal. With Covid, some can only focus on how serious this coronavirus infection can be . . .”if I get it, I could die!” On the other hand others can think more logically . . . “if I catch the virus, there is a good chance that I will be either minimally symptomatic or asymptomatic, and the risk of me dying from Covid is much less than one percent. Life is too short, and so I’ll take that very small risk.”

Second: Just as important, is where are individuals getting their basic Covid information. Most are getting it from local TV news, local newspapers, or from friends, most of whom are probably also getting their info from local sources. I point that  out because local sources are doing a piss-poor job of actually educating anyone. (When I asked one of the local “newspaper” columnists about this, he responded that his job was to report, not to educate or opine.) 

The following is from that same  Leonhardt article, Franklin Templeton-Gallup Economics of Recovery Study(NYT):

When asked what percent of Covid patients needed hospitalization, 69% of Democrats said more than twenty percent needed hospitalization, 51% of Republicans said more than twenty percent, and 60% of Independents said the same thing. To me these numbers signify just how misinformed the public actually is. (Amazingly 41% of Democrats thought that the chance of hospitalization for a Covid patient was . . . are you ready for this . . . more than 50%!!) No wonder these individuals are paralyzed with fear. The actual hospitalization rate is about 1%. 

How could so many people be so drastically misinformed?! 

Again from Leonhardt:

There is also the same basic sort of misinformation when it comes to the risk of school children and going back to school. Democrats are more likely to exaggerate Covid’s toll on young people and to believe that children account for a meaningful share of all Covid deaths. In reality, Americans under 18 account for only 0.04 percent of Covid deaths (4 in 10,000).

How could these individuals be so misinformed? Again I blame this on the news sources, both TV and newspapers. And as long as they are “not in the education business.” (because optimism does not sell newspapers

or boost TV ratings), this dichotomy will continue.

Was there some skulduggery involved in the recent bank bailouts? Keep in mind that I am not accusing anyone, but rather I am just asking.

What if the banks that were bailed out, namely Silicon Valley Bank (SVC) and First Republic, had been located in a red state, like Florida, instead of in California, a notoriously blue state?  And what if, in addition, the Governor in that red state had a significant amount tied up in either of those red state banks? Was the fact that California’s Governor Newsom’s wineries were hugely invested in SVC merely a coincidence? What if the Governor of Florida was hugely invested in one of the failed banks? Would anything different have occurred?

Hmmm! … Just asking!

Likewise what if the recent railroad catastrophe had occurred in a blue state like Illinois instead of Ohio? Would the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, have made time in his busy schedule to visit the beleaguered small town sooner? Similarly would Buttigieg have commented that railroad accidents are not a big deal as they occur all the time? Furthermore, would President Biden have found time in his important schedule to visit suffering East Palestine, if East Palestine had been located in Illinois?

Hmmm! … Just asking!

Just recently three examples of going woke leading to going broke.

First:

Hershey’s Canada recently had a controversial ad featuring a transgender activist.

Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of the Daily Wire, responded by launching an unapologetically gender-specific rival to the chocolate giant’s bars.

“We have two kinds: SheHer and HeHim,” said Boreing, in the 48-second ad. “One of them has nuts. If you need me to tell you which one it is, keep giving your money to Hershey’s.”

Boreing encouraged consumers to stop “giving your money to woke corporations that hate you” in the brief ad released Friday, 3/3. 

On Sat, 3/4 the Daily Wire tweeted, “We’ve officially sold more than 200,000 Jeremy’s Chocolate bars and it’s still climbing. Let’s keep it going.”

Similarly, with Harry’s Razors:

“Nothing is sweeter than truth,” account @JeremysRazors tweeted in response. Jeremy’s Razors, an alternative to Harry’s Razors, is another company born of Boreing’s capitalism-driven approach to directly challenging woke companies via old fashioned competition. His approach is simple: offer consumers an alternative to turning over heaps of cash to corporations that mock them and actively work against their most cherished values.

The websites for Hershey’s and the Harry’s alternatives are strategically easy to remember: ihateharrys.com and ihatehersheys.com. 

Second from BlazeNews:

Urban Christian Academy in Kansas City is closing after donors pulled the plug. The private school with an enrollment of 100 describes itself as providing “a tuition-free, high-quality, Christ-centered education for low-income students,” the ABC news network said.

The Christian K-8 school last year declared that “we stand with the LGBTQIA+ community and believe in their holiness” — but now Urban Christian Academy in Kansas City is closing.

Last year it added a statement to its website that read in part, “We are an affirming school. We stand with the LGBTQIA+ community and believe in their holiness. We celebrate the diversity of God’s creation in all its varied and beautiful forms.”

With that, donors stopped contributing — with many citing their Christian beliefs as the reason — and UCA announced that it’s closing at the end of the school year due to the loss of financial support.

Kalie Callaway-George, the school’s executive director and co-founder, told ABC News the aforementioned LGBTQIA+ language “is kind of what started the backlash from our donor base, which we anticipated. It was just that we anticipated a 50% loss in funding and made adjustments for that. We had an 80% loss in funding, and that was too much to overcome.”

“We lost our network” of donors, Callaway-George added to ABC News: “In December of 2021, right before we publicly supported the LGBTQ community, we raised $333,985. One year later, after we had posted on our website and made a stance, [in] December of 2022 we raised $14,809.”

One might wonder what did the school’s woke executive director, Callaway-George, think was going to happen? Of course with her hyphenated last name, the question might well be, why did UCA hire her in the first place! (Anyone who has read my prior pieces on this subject, knows the implications of hyphenated last names!)

And hot off the press, third, Silicon Valley Bank (SVC):

From Red State:

As it turns out, SVB was a massive donor to Black Lives Matter and other social justice causes, to the tune of nearly $74 million dollars. $73,450,000 to be more exact.

The figure comes from an extensive report dropped by the Claremont Institute on Tuesday. The report details $82 billion dollars in social justice/BLM investments by major American companies. SVB stands out as one of the larger donors, next to big donors like Apple ($100 million) and Comcast ($165 million). While at the top of the donation pool, those contributors do pale in comparison to donors like Blackrock ($810 million) and Citigroup ($1.1 billion). However, the group did pledge on their website to provide in total up to $11 billion dollars by 2026 for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs and racial justice causes.

“Will Hild, the executive director of Consumers’ Research, told The Federalist that SVB’s failure on the heels of its left-wing activism “is yet another indication that SVB was focused on woke virtue signaling instead of protecting their customers’ deposits.”

“Time after time we see the same pattern: companies that are the most concerned with ESG scores and woke politics do the worst jobs serving their customers,” Hild explained. “The rest of corporate America should learn from SVB’s failure now, before they are the next company to make headlines for comically poor management.”

Hershey’s in Canada, Urban Christian Academy in Kansas City, and Silicon Valley Bank in California all went woke -> going/ gone broke!

I predict that this scenario will not be confined to this infamous trio.

When will we actually learn the truth about what has occurred in the military as a consequence of vaccine mandates?

From the Washington Times in Nov, 2021:

A senior U.S. Army flight surgeon who warned that pilots could die in mid-air from COVID-19 vaccine side effects, testified in Nov, 2021, at a roundtable hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson on Capitol Hill.

Testifying under the Military Whistleblower Protection Act, Lt. Col. Theresa Long told the Wisconsin Republican at the event that she had grounded vaccinated pilots to monitor symptoms of myocarditis — including chronic fatigue — that could cause them to die of heart failure in mid-air.

“I made numerous efforts to get senior medical leaders to at the very least inform soldiers of this risk; my concerns were ignored,” Dr. Long said at the event.

Then in January, 2022 attorney Thomas Renz came forward with DMED data downloaded by several named and unnamed military physicians showing unnatural increases in numerous medical diagnoses in the military in 2021, completely out of sync with the previous five-year averages. He presented hundreds of these concerning safety signal data points to Sen. Ron Johnson and publicized several examples at the hearing. Three military doctors signed a sworn affidavit to be used in a federal lawsuit attesting to the fact that the data correlates with their clinical experience in treating soldiers in 2021 and that in their professional opinion, the mass vaccination is the most likely culprit of these increased injuries and ailments.

DOD’s explanation bordered on the twilight zone. They said that the data from 2021 was correct, however due to some “glitches,” the yearly comparison data from the years 2016-2020 were woefully underreported.

Officials compared numbers in the DMED with source data in the DMSS and found that the total number of medical diagnoses from those years “represented only a small fraction of actual medical diagnoses.” The 2021 numbers, however, were up-to-date, giving the “appearance of significant increased occurrence of all medical diagnoses in 2021 because of the underreported data for 2016-2020.”

If you believe that the DOD is conveniently being honest by exposing five years of glitches, and is telling the truth about 2016-2020, well … “I have a bridge to sell you!”

In just the last few years, the Oscars TV presentation show has tanked in terms of viewers.

From Breitbart:

“Here’s a look at the last decade:

• 2013: 40.3 million
• 2014: 43.7 million
• 2015: 37.3 million
• 2016: 34.4 million
• 2017: 32.9 million
• 2018: 26.5 million
• 2019: 29.6 million
• 2020: 23.6 million
• 2021: 10.4 million (virus year)
• 2022: 16.6 million
• 2023: 16 million

Last year 16.6 million tuned in, and that was a catastrophe—when that was the second-lowest viewership in Oscar telecast history?

Earlier this week Jimmy Kimmel once again proved to be ratings poison, with Sunday night’s Oscar telecast drawing a pathetic 16 million (give or take) viewers.”

Breitbart seemed to think that the Oscars tanked because of Jimmy Kimmel – “a is a smug little N-word-spewing-blackface-wearing  guy who is loathed by 95 percent of America.”

Personally, I was not even aware that the Oscars was going to be on TV, but even if I knew, I would not have watched it. … “no me importa”

I had seen only a few of the supposed top movies (Elvis, Top Gun: Maverick).  Actually, the movie I liked the best was “A Man Called Otto” with Tom Hanks. Interesting, the movie that walked away with a lot of the awards, I had no interest in putting down my ten bucks to watch. Am I out of touch with whomever votes for the Oscar winners? Obviously! And perhaps that is part of the Oscar’s abysmal TV viewership … woke Hollywood and increasingly, non-woke mainstream Americans are like oil & water. 

Obviously from the ratings, very few want to watch Jimmy Kimmel, and even fewer want to spend their time watching Hollywood leftists spew their political venom on the Oscar’s TV show.

If you are an enthusiastic “global warming” liberal, perhaps you should not read a recent paper, “Challenging Net Zero with Science,” by Lindzen, Happer, and the CO2 Coalition.

Who are they, and what are they saying?

The paper’s authors are Dr. William Happer, Professor of Physics, Emeritus, Princeton University; Dr. Richard Lindzen, Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Science Emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and Gregory Wrightstone, a geologist and executive director of the CO2 Coalition.

Certainly an impressive set of credentials.

A lot of the following is from whatsupwiththat:

This paper is basically saying that not only are the NetZero initiatives of governments and private organizations scientifically invalid, but also that they will lead to worldwide impoverishment and starvation if implemented.

The 46 page paper details how the objectives of Net Zero to eliminate the use of fossil fuels and the emissions of greenhouse gases are based on analytical methods that violate fundamental tenets of the scientific method which originated more than 300 years ago.

“Reliable scientific knowledge is determined by the scientific method, where theoretical predictions are validated by observations or rejected by failing to do so,” say the paper’s authors.

“Agreement with observations is the measure of scientific truth,” continues the paper. “Scientific progress proceeds by the interplay of theory and observation. Theory explains observations and makes predictions of what will be observed in the future. Observations anchor understanding and weed out theories that don’t work.”

Why should liberals not read this paper? In general, liberals process their thoughts in their midbrains. Since the midbrain is the source of emotional as opposed to logical thinking, it follows that they would pay little heed to the scientific method.

However, the paper also predicts global starvation if fossil fuels are eliminated. At risk in coming decades would be half of the world’s 8.5 billion to 10 billion people who are fed by crops grown with fertilizers derived from fossil fuels. Listed as an example of Net Zero’s potential consequences is the economic and social calamity of Sri Lanka which had banned the use of fertilizers and pesticides made from fossil fuels.

“The recent experience in Sri Lanka provides a red alert. The world has just witnessed the collapse of the once bountiful agricultural sector of Sri Lanka as a result of government restrictions on mineral fertilizer,” the paper says.

Starving over four million people, however, might just get a liberal’s attention. Who wants to be responsible for such a horrific tragedy? If you are all in NetZero, odds are you will be part of the responsible party. I am guessing that posturing for, and fighting for/against global warming, etc. will not really matter much to those who are starving or to their families.

3/14/23

How many times have you noted that the assessment of the uppity-ups is not the same as that of those in the trenches? In situations like this, who should be believed?

For instance, if the soldiers on the battlefield say that they are sustaining heavy losses, but those sitting far away in their fancy offices say that things are going great, who would you believe? … Yes, me too!

On February 27-28, the medical freedom organization MS Against Mandates (MAM) held the Mississippi Medical Freedom Conference in Jackson, Mississippi, which included over a dozen physicians, several whistleblowers, six physician-confirmed vaccine-injured patients, and two parents whose sons died after receiving the vaccines.

During Covid, Dr. Fauci was the one telling us all what was happening and what to do from his fancy office … even though he probably had not taken care of a live patient in many, many years.

I am not going to repeat what the eminent Dr. Fauci  had to say, but rather note what some of those in the actual Covid battlefield had to say.

The following are quotes from this conference via the Epoch Times:

“The community standard of care always comes from the doctors who are treating the patients,” McCullough said. “Under no circumstances does it come from federal or state agencies, pharmaceutical companies, or even from hospitals or hospital systems. It comes from the doctors in the field who are learning how to treat their patients based on the medical literature, clinical judgment, and the differences in the community.”

Janci Lindsay, a Texas-based molecular biologist and biochemist, addressed the room after McCullough, stating that she’s seen an increase in immune system impairment, as well as an explosion in autoimmunity, a decrease in fertility, and an increase in stillbirth and miscarriage.

“Birth rates are plummeting and reports of miscarriages and stillbirths are increasing worldwide among those who have received these gene therapies” (Covid vaccines), Lindsay said.

Dr. James Thorp, a Florida-based OB-GYN who specializes in maternal-fetal medicine, supported Lindsay’s findings on the dangers of the vaccine on pregnant women, stating that what he’s found is “nothing short of catastrophic.”

“It’s extremely dangerous to pregnancy,” he said.

The FDA and CDC consider a twofold increase in adverse events to be a danger, Thorp said.

“So, we compared the COVID-19 vaccines over 18 months to the influenza vaccines over 282 months,” he said.

Thorp said menstrual abnormalities are 1,200 times higher, miscarriages are 57 times higher, and fetal deaths are 38 times higher, along with increases in 15 other serious pregnancy complications.

“This is not Jim Thorp data,” he said. “This is your data from your government, from the CDC and the FDA, and they’re still pushing this vaccine.”

Dr. Robert Corkern said that in November 2020, he began treating COVID-19 patients who had comorbidities in what he called the underserved region of the Delta in Greenville, Mississippi. He used early treatment protocols, including ivermectin, that led to a rate of zero mortality and ICU admission for his patients.

“Today, I’ve treated over 10,000 COVID patients,” Corkern said. “Still, no ICU admissions or deaths.”

Corkern reported that in his clinical observation, natural immunity has given more effective protection against COVID-19 than the vaccines, adding that natural immunity itself is “free of adverse events.”

Dr. David Calderwood, a physician based in Huntsville, Alabama, said he’s successfully treated over 500 patients using a multidrug therapy that includes hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, and he said he’s only lost one patient.

What he said he’s found in his clinical observations of the COVID-19 vaccines is that they’re exactly the opposite of what’s been advertised.

“These vaccines are the most unsafe and ineffective vaccines that have ever come to market,” Calderwood said. “Almost three times as many deaths and permanent disabilities have been reported through the VAERS system than from all other vaccines in history.”

It seems to me that what these physicians are saying is very similar to what Lt Colonel Theresa Long has been saying is going on in the military.

Even though one might say that all of what these physicians are saying is just anecdotal … as enough anecdotes pile up, they gain increasing credibility.

Me? I believe those who are on the battlefield.
