Are obese people the cause of C19?
New study from World Obesity Federation found that 2.2 million of 2.5 million COVID-19 deaths occurred in countries with high levels of obesity
https://techstartups.com/2021/03/04/new-study-world-obesity-federation-found-2-2-million-2-5-million-covid-19-deaths-occurred-countries-high-levels-obesity/
This report shows that in countries where less than half the adult population is classified as overweight*, the likelihood of death from COVID-19 is a small fraction – around one-tenth – of the level seen in countries where more than half the population is classified as overweight. Of the 2.5 million COVID-19 deaths reported by the end of February 2021, 2.2 million were in countries where more than half the population is classified as overweight.”

So yes folks the fix is in. Don’t like what the control is telling you about your terrible experiment? Fudge the control data. If there is no control it’s much easier to make unverifiable assertions. This is all most convenient for the UK. Where is Oxford located again?

Apparently a group is Sweden does not like what the country has done in response to C19. Sweden ranks 19th in Europe in deaths per million and 23rd worldwide. It has had two spikes as have had most western nations. The recent one peaked January 1st. The last couple weeks have been very low. Keep that in mind when reading article. Here is English translation of article.
Hidden Facebook group tries to influence Swedish interests abroad The Swedish nation is described as brainwashed and responsible for the corona strategy as the perpetrator - statements in a campaign that worries experts in the field of information. The closed Facebook group with more than 200 members has received messages in major international media and posts describe attempts to get other countries' governments to act against Sweden during the pandemic. In an email to Ekot, the group's leaders write that they "do not want other countries to make the same mistakes as Sweden". Ekot and Vetenskapsradion have gained insight into the activities of a hidden Facebook group. Very serious allegations are spread in a social media campaign. Experts in the field of information influence consider the tone and methods to be worrying. The closed Facebook group with just over 200 members includes academics, opinion leaders, researchers at Swedish universities and others who are upset about Sweden's handling of the coronavirus. The members are largely active in Sweden, but the dialogue is conducted in English. We have gained insight into the closed group, the posts and activities for a long time. Members coordinate activities in the Facebook group and take the messages to the comment field, Twitter, Swedish and international media. They have received their messages in Time, Science, Washington Post, among others. Hanna Linderstål is an independent virtual analyst and works to strengthen the business community's and authorities' knowledge of the impact of information. - What we can see in this group's activities that make it interesting is partly that they court international media where they present Sweden as both a failure and that the authorities in Sweden would have a hidden agenda about the country's corona strategy, says Hanna Linderstål. Hanna Linderstål thinks that the group's processing of international and Swedish media is very worrying. - Among other things, other countries are urged not to let Swedes in, to protect the countries. And these are strong statements that are made about Sweden internationally, she says. The leader of the Facebook group describes in posts how members tried to influence governments in Europe to have quarantine rules for Swedes traveling abroad and to keep the borders closed to Sweden. He writes in posts about how messages have been sent to embassies, authorities and politicians in Europe. The leader of the Facebook group has declined a taped interview but writes in an email that they "do not want other countries to make the same mistakes as Sweden", and that the purpose of the Facebook group is to create a safe context for members to engage in opinion formation. James Pamment, associate professor of strategic communication at Lund University, has also analyzed the group's activity. It is one thing to try to influence Sweden's politics and form opinion, it is another thing to try to influence Swedish interests abroad, which can affect Swedish citizens. There, the group crosses a border, according to the experts that Ekot and Vetenskapsradion have spoken to. - It seems that the group has two purposes. Partly to influence the Swedish corona policy and partly to criticize media coverage of the policy. Then there is much else in the group that seems to be about damaging the image of Sweden abroad and also damaging the reputation of individuals who work in this field, says James Pamment. The leader of the Facebook group also describes in posts and on Twitter plans to try to bring those responsible for the corona strategy in Sweden before an international court for crimes against humanity. It is described as absurd by experts in international law with whom we spoke. They emphasize that this criminal classification is about deliberate attacks on the civilian population and which is primarily used in wars and conflicts. Listen to the entire review in the program "Vetenskapsradion På djupet" in P1.

HCQ is shown to have a positive effect in 100% of studies analyzed when administered early. It is not a cure in the sense that it makes everyone free of the virus and healthy but it does this for a high percentage of those who take it early (66%.)
• HCQ is effective for COVID-19. The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive as the 200 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 3 quadrillion (p = 0.00000000000000034). • Early treatment is most successful, with 100% of studies reporting a positive effect and an estimated reduction of 66% in the effect measured (death, hospitalization, etc.) using a random effects meta-analysis, RR 0.34 [0.27-0.44]. • 91% of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) for early, PrEP, or PEP treatment report positive effects, the probability of this happening for an ineffective treatment is 0.0059. • There is evidence of bias towards publishing negative results. 88% of prospective studies report positive effects, and only 75% of retrospective studies do. • Studies from North America are 3.6 times more likely to report negative results than studies from the rest of the world combined, p = 0.00000044. Total - 200 studies 3,178 authors, 172,633 patients Positive effects, 156 studies, 2,477 authors, 128,690 patients, Early treatment - 100% positive effects 26 studies, 18,751 patients 66% average improvement
https://hcqmeta.com/hcq-meta.pdf Only negative effects are in late treatment after the virus has done replicating. Most of the studies were done in late treatment situations when it would not be expected to work. The ignorance of the medical community especially Dr. Fauci in not recognizing this has let over a million people die worldwide unnecessarily.jerry_{February 7, 2021

Jerry, yes there is an evolving situation that shifts balance of questions on HCQ cocktails. I am thinking of a follow up post. As for ivermectin, it surfaced many months ago as part of the cocktail. The issue of effective antivirals and that of a stitch in time saves nine are not going to go away. Sadly, the we have to be rid of this pestilential fellow and his deplorables taints the whole story and may yet lead to a terrible verdict when objective history is written.

The left and elites hav no regrets. Killing little and old people is just part of their character makeup. Then they can blame it on others.
How the Hydroxychloroquine Scandal Wrecked America and the World Along With It You don’t have to be Emile Zola to say “J’accuse!” I accuse—in no particular order—Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ nominee and frequent Wuhan, China visitor/collaborator Dr. Anthony Fauci; the Democrat Party (aka the “party of science”) and their nauseating, self-congratulatory leadership; the mainstream media and all their pompous, even more self-congratulatory “ships at sea” from the New York Times to CNN; Dr. Birx and whatever bureaucrat from the CDC was showing his/her face this week; the endless echo chamber in practically every health department in all fifty states; the foreign health departments that largely echoed that echo chamber; Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York (more of him in a moment); Governor Whitmer of Michigan; that atrocious governor of Nevada whose name I can’t remember or bother to look up…. I could go on… all of whom participated in what has emerged to be what is indisputably the greatest national, no, international, health disaster of our time—the Hydroxychloroquine Scandal.

Ivermectin is the new HCQ. https://twitter.com/Covid19Critical It is being thrust forward by a group of doctors as the miracle cure for C19. Wasn’t recommended by Trump so not getting the negative publicity HCQ did. But not getting any positive publicity either. Why would ivermectin be needed now that there is a vaccine? Or maybe better rephrased as why would a vaccine be needed now that there is an effective treatment?jerry_{January 27, 2021

A sentiment that a lot of people have
IF YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE BELIEF, THAT ASYMPTOMATIC PEOPLE ARE "INFECTIOUS", YOU HAVE JUST CURSED YOURSELF FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. ALL TRUST AND AUTHENTIC CONNECTION GETS DESTROYED WHEN YOU ALLOW YOUR FELLOW HEALTHY HUMANS TO BECOME A THREAT. THIS IS NOT THE "NEW NORMAL". THIS IS COLLECTIVE PARANOID PSYCHOSIS. Carrie Madej, D.O.
Also from Dr. Madej
I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE THINGS I POST ARE DEPRESSING. ITS NOT EASY TO HEAR ABOUT SOME OF THE DARKER THINGS THAT GO ON IN THE WORLD. BUT THERE ARE CHILDREN & PEOPLE SUFFERING EVERYDAY..

you do realise that that’s a nonsense question, don’t you? Social isolation isn’t an infectious disease.
You do realize that it is absolutely not nonsense because social isolation kills? If it does kill, it will have a rate of killing. You catch it from others who are unaware of its life threatening effects and inflict it on you. Sometimes it is self afflicted. Whether it kills higher than C19 does is a question to be answered. Especially since there are effective treatments for C19 and the social isolation recommendations may be very counterproductive. Teen suicides are now getting newsworthy. Aside:
higher than the deaths from Covid-19 that would be avoided.
Are there any? Especially when early treatments are so effective. Another question. Do masks actually accelerate infection?jerry_{January 26, 2021

Masks forever?
Mask Mandates: Are There Better Ways to Control COVID-19 Outbreaks? These numbers suggest that the strategy of relying predominantly on social distancing, lockdowns and mask-wearing is not working. We need better interventions. Although mask-wearing may reduce transmission rate, it has not prevented cases from spiking either here or abroad.

Jerry - you do realise that that's a nonsense question, don't you? Social isolation isn't an infectious disease. I think what you want to ask is whether death rate due to working at home/staying at home etc. is higher (presumably in people who don't catch COVID-19), and then whether the expected number of deaths due to these impositions is higher than the deaths from Covid-19 that would be avoided.Bob O'H_{January 24, 2021

Transparency in applying science from our bettors
California keeps key virus data out of public sight California Gov. Gavin Newsom has from the start said his coronavirus policy decisions would be driven by data shared with the public to provide maximum transparency. But with the state starting to emerge from its worst surge, his administration won’t disclose key information that will help determine when his latest stay-at-home order is lifted. State health officials said they rely on a very complex set of measurements that would confuse and potentially mislead the public if they were made public.
https://apnews.com/article/sacramento-california-coronavirus-pandemic-gavin-newsom-38bb44ea7cb39eab9f6f6c621daeaf10 Of course Governor Newsom and his co workers practice strict mask discipline when discussing government business. https://storage.googleapis.com/afs-prod/media/0e0948f6e004438a9a1d78632c915b9f/800.jpegjerry_{January 23, 2021

It’s not clear if it was actually done
Thank you for the warning about the study. I was unaware of Fleming's background. However, given. that, the approach seems reasonable. That different types of imaging could be used to evaluate treatment effects of various drugs on cell tissue. What is interesting about the discussion is that it reaffirms that COVID is serial and essentially separate diseases. What works on restricting the virus will not work on the effects of the immune system over reacting and causing most of deaths. So giving anti-virals late in the progression of the disease is pointless and shouldn't be expected to be effective. It's amazing how little the so called prominent researchers/epidemiologists/immunologists know about this disease but are willing to pontificate on it and subsequently set government policy based on these inaccurate understandings. One of which is a hero to a lot of the American public, Anthony Fauci who has demonstrated his Ignorance numerous times. There is the other effect which is a direct result of the virus nullifying the effect of the ACE2 receptors on the endothelial cells in the blood stream and causing clotting mechanisms to appear. This is the second serious effect of the virus and is direct. But apparently while this is dangerous, it is. the over reaction of the immune systems causing most of the damage. For most this virus is not harmful but for a few with impaired immune systems it is dangerous.jerry_{January 22, 2021

I have been meaning to publish this for a couple weeks.
Is there a treatment for SARS-CoV-2? Quantitative Nuclear Imaging finds Treatments for SARS-CoV-2
https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-106988/v1
Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic of 2019 represents the third significant infection from a corona virus during the last two decades; this time producing a pandemic with more than a million deaths due to the immune InflammoThrombotic Response (ITR) to the virus. This investigation studied 10 different treatments and 52 treatment combinations to determine if there is an effective treatment regimen for SARS-CoV-2. Conclusion: The answer to the question is, Yes. The treatment of SARS-CoV-2, like HIV, requires a multi-drug treatment regimen focusing on the immune ITR to SARS-CoV-2. The three successful treatment regimens include (1) Tocilizumab & Interferon a-2b, (2) Primaquine, Clindamycin, Tocilizumab & Interferon a-2b, and (3) Methylprednisolone. These three regimens were effective 99.83% of the time and shortened hospital stays from 40?±?3 days to 1–2 weeks.
What this part of the abstract does not state here is that there were a total of 1800 patients and 953 were treated with some form of HCQ treatment and 847 had no treatment as outpatients. Of those treated with HCQ+ 84.4% did not require hospitalization. Of those not treated with anything, 59.5% did not require hospitalization. So this study is essentially reporting on the treatments given in the hospital but also reports on the effectiveness of HCQ in an outpatient setting.
Of the 1800 patients seeking medical care, 847 received no outpatient treatment with 59.5% recovering and 40.5% requiring hospitalization. Of the 953 treated with an aminoquinoline (HCQ) in the outpatient setting, 16.6% required further treatment and hospitalization. Five hundred and one people required admission representing a 27.8% failure to respond to outpatient management. Apparently zinc was administered as part of the out patient treatment.
Treatments in the hospital with HCQ+ did not have any effect. This would make sense since HCQ is mainly an anti viral and at the phase that requires hospitalization it is a new disease involving the immune system and cardio vascular system. I realize that few people are reading these comments but they are valuable to me as a record as I develop reference for my family and others who I know are interested.jerry_{January 13, 2021

Vit D has been recommended. It's one of the first things my doctor recommended when I was quarantined due to contact with a positive case. In fact, even before covid, vit D was a main supplement that my doctor recommended for general immunity health, especially through the cold season. There isn't much of a downside to taking substantial amounts of Vit D, I don't think. I take 2000 IU daily. I remember when my elderly mother was tremendously deficient they gave her an injection of 50,000 IU monthly for a while. I don't think there is much of a controversy about the value of Vit D, although I doubt that it is a surefire preventative of any kind.Viola Lee_{January 11, 2021
