Created similar charts last week for a comment reply and found the data view interesting. Charts are interactive at the website (thanks CB). Each of the countries may use different criteria and definitive comparisons would require looking at data collection criteria.

Covid Cases per Million

This is not good for the United States. The death rate per million is increasing. Germany, France and Singapore have higher case rates per million and fewer deaths. Medical treatment in the United States is not as effective as the other countries. It could be the actual treatments being provided or stress on the medical system. The vaccine mandates for health care workers might be a contributing factor.

Antibody neutralizing all Covid variants found, Chinese scientists claim

Chinese scientists claim to have isolated an antibody which can effectively neutralize all strains of Covid-19, referencing both lab experiments and those performed on a living organism.

In a study published (62 pg pdf) on Tuesday, Chinese scientists from a variety of institutions, including Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou and Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, suggested that they may have the panacea to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The authors claim that monoclonal antibody 35B5 has been shown in both in vitro (laboratory or test-tube experiment) and in vivo (performed on living organism) studies to neutralize wild-type Covid-19 (without mutations) as well as variants of concern (VOCs). The in vivo tests were carried out on humanized mice.

Science Fictions: Exposing Fraud, Bias, Negligence and Hype in Science
(thanks janis b)

As Ritchie shows, every section of a standard scientific paper is a potential source of problems. Many researchers describe their methods so sketchily that it’s impossible for others to repeat them. The language in discussions and abstracts has become increasingly hyperbolic: between 1974 and 2014, the proportion of papers describing their findings as innovative, robust, unprecedented, groundbreaking and so on rose more than eightfold. But the crux of the replication crisis is in the way results are presented and analysed. There may be legitimate reasons for excluding a particular measurement or tidying up an image, but it’s also true that you’re unlikely to be caught if, consciously or otherwise, you do something like this in order to steer your results towards the conclusion you’d like.

Some problems are specific to particular disciplines. In cancer biology, countless papers are based on studies using contaminated or misidentified cell cultures. The advent of Photoshop has made it difficult to tell when images of cell processes and genetic molecules have been enhanced, duplicated, spliced or otherwise manipulated. Other problems are shared by many fields. The use of statistics is a general concern. Statistical methods are used to analyse the patterns in data, with a view to distinguishing random variation from underlying causes. When an experimental result is described as statistically significant, that usually means a statistical test has shown there is a less than 5 per cent chance that the difference between that result and, for example, the corresponding result in a control experiment is attributable to random variation.

both high Ivermectin and the converse, high injection rates. I'm trying to clean up the list, organize and include source information where possible. H/T CB, LO, QMS and many others.

Part 1
following is an update of - countries and states with early treatment or low mandates:
- Europe...Czechia, Slovakia,
Sweden...is an unusual situation. They have not mandated shots, although uptake is fairly high.
But there have been no lockdowns; schools are open; people are carrying on normally. More on
this? Ivermectin?
- India...Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, with millions; other states in India?
- Japan...has just chucked the 'vaccines' out in favor of Ivermectin. See that in MSM?
- Africa...Zimbabewe, South Africa, Namibia, the large middle sixty (60)% has been on Ivermectin for years to treat parasites. Many have said that the northern countries have hoarded the shots, which they have. The predictions were that underserved countries would have high levels of COVID. They have not. Rather they might be better off.
Zimbabwe
H/T CB Zimbabwe
- South America/Central America...Mexico...high Ivermectin countries. Panama, which countries?
Peru? Chile?
- US states...Florida - FLCCC doctor in Florida is free to prescribe Ivermectin. Cases are no
worse than locked down California. There might be other states and cities which do not punish
doctors from using preventatives, and treatments.
North (?) Dakota, Texas, others with liberal treatment policies or lack of
mandates? Some are quiet but allow for early treatment.
Nevada Huff Po h/t Snoop
- South east Asia...- Vietnam, with greatly better metrics than the US
Philippines, Indonesia?
- South Asia...Bangladesh...poor country, with better metrics than the US.

Any other countries or areas come to mind? I would love to get a single list together.

Part 2 - Countries and states with high injection rates.
We could always create the other side of the coin: the highly vaccinated countries and states. For example:
- Singapore...
- Scotland...
- Iceland...
- Portugal...
- Gibraltar...over 100% shots, and they are cancelling Christmas because of COVID surges.
- Israel...suddenly dropped out of sight with the third and fourth shots. How are they doing?
- US States...with mandates not doing so well. Vermont, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Others?
- Australia...they are hardly bumping the numbers above average yearly deaths, cases. But
totalitarian lockdown and mandates.
- New Zealand...another country with few deaths, in lockdown.
- Other highly injected countries??

Variables such as type of vaccine used and incidence of infection when when vaccine programs were started may have some relevancy in the search for answers and new questions to explore.

@Dawn's Meta I have been checking raw data on Uttar Pradesh, double checking to make sure that the charts at FLCCC are not misleading.
It would appear that between 8-31 and 9-30 that 69 people died.
And then by 10-31 an additional 8 people died.
UP has between 205 and 240 million people- seems to depend on how they count on any given day?
8 dead in one month is stunningly successful. Looking forward to seeing the latest data and getting caught up to December 1.

Does anyone know if "Chamie" ( who puts together all the wonderful charts for FLCCC) has an open forum where data sourcing can be looked at? Where he shows his math and methodology? His work looks stellar. I would love to ask a few questions, learn some details.

@Dawn's Meta

Although it's been fairly widely reported that Japan has gone big for IVM and downplayed or abandoned vaccination it is - most unfortunately, IMHO - not the case.

Available 'vaccinations' are only mRNA - Pfizer and Moderna - and the government in the fall ordered a bunch more, more than enough to vax the entire population twice, and they are cranking up the 3rd shot - first for medical workers and then older senior after the first of the year sometime.

There are no government-ordered vax mandates, except maybe for military, but many companies have them and even where they are not formally in place, people can and are coerced into taking the shots.

On the brighter side, there are doctors and some politicians advocating for IVM and some doctors will prescribe it. It is readily available ordered through Japanese-language sites and shipped from Taiwan or India (AFAIK it all originates in India). Some people take it for protection against infection and/or from spike protein shedding from the vaxed (myself included) others have obtained a bit and are hanging on to it in the eventuality of infection.

There are clinical trials of IVM underway, one was just announced in November - a major Japanese pharmaceutical company, Kowa, will sponsor a trial in cooperation with three hospitals in Nagoya.
Trials are also underway at the Kitasato Institute, home of Professor Omura who shared in the 2015 Nobel prize for his role in Ivemectin's development.

Speaking of which:

Quantitative proteomics reveals a broad‐spectrum antiviral property of ivermectin, benefiting for COVID‐19 treatment
Na Li, Lingfeng Zhao, and Xianquan Zhan corresponding author

1.
This study sought to identify ivermectin‐related virus infection pathway alterations in human cells.

2.
Quantitative proteomics revealed that ivermectin‐related proteins are involved in four statistically significant antiviral pathways, including human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), human papillomavirus (HPV), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV1), and COVID‐19 infection pathways.

3.
We identified 52 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)/COVID‐19‐related protein alterations when treated with and without ivermectin, and these proteins were involved in cytokines and growth factor family, MAP kinase and G‐protein family, and HLA class proteins.

4.
These findings demonstrate the broad‐spectrum antiviral property of ivermectin benefiting for COVID‐19 treatment in the context of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine in virus‐related diseases.

@Tall Bald and Ugly

These are the precise words of Dr. Stanley Plotkin, Godfather of Vaccines and the guy they named the big prize after, in a 1973 letter to the New England Journal of Medicine: “The question is whether we are to have experiments performed on fully functioning adults, and on children who are potential contributors to society, or are to perform initial studies in children and adults who are human in form but not in social potential.”

(Oh I see)

Dr. Stanley Plotkin is still alive. He’s won countless awards — as recently as 2014. He’s regularly called upon to validate the Covid-19 genetic therapy shots inaccurately called “vaccines.” He remains an esteemed colleague of, among other people, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Plotkin has even joined Fauci in pushing parents to line their children up for the untested Covid jab.

Will you please tell me again why you trust Big Pharma, Big Science, the billionaires, and all the other sociopaths pushing an experimental medication on you and your family?

Why wasn’t he charged for doing that? Did we ratify the Nuremberg code? I think it’s mute whether we did or not because it’s considered a crime against humanity to experiment on people who can’t give consent. But then we’d have to charge the CIA for all its illegal experiments on Americans too. Snowball ps in hell come to mind.

@Tall Bald and Ugly the likelihood of becoming a participant in a research project conducted by one of our many "well respected" medical experts.

Recruitment is difficult and a constant challenge.

The open forum took place on July 8, 2009, with 15 participants across 9 projects. Its purpose was to provide an opportunity for information sharing and discussion of the specific ways in which grantees conduct recruitment. The attendees represented projects that targeted either individuals with a specific condition and/or within a specific demographic population, or the general adult population. Some projects focused on particular chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer, chest pain, and obstructive sleep apnea, while others were focused more generally on medication management or prevention.
...
Recruitment approaches

Grantees are employing a variety of strategies to make potential participants aware of their projects, including:

  • Sending letters or postcards (often from the patient's provider);
  • Distributing or displaying flyers, pamphlets, brochures, and/or posters;
  • Approaching patients one-on-one in their primary care provider's office or local community clinic;
  • Conducting or participating in health fairs and/or other community outreach activities;
  • Placing phone calls, emails, or sending messages via patient portals or listservs; and,
  • Advertising in university newsletters, local newspapers, radio, or television stations.

...
Recruitment challenges
The overarching recruitment challenge noted during both the one-on-one calls and the open forum was identifying participants that meet project-specific inclusion criteria. In addition, grantees noted difficulties in communicating the complicated information required during the consent process and in overcoming general resistance to participation in research studies, while still encouraging patients' interest. Grantees also mentioned language barriers as a challenge, in that their rate of enrollment is slowed when the project does not have enough staff members who can speak the primary language of their potential participants. Finally, grantees noted participants' limited access to, discomfort, and/or inexperience with computers as a challenge in recruiting for health IT research studies.
...
Noteworthy Recruitment Experiences and Guidelines
...
Grantees aim to minimize the burden on participants in terms of their monetary costs incurred, time spent, and initiative required to join the project.
...
Grantees make an effort to minimize patients' time necessary to participate by reducing the steps required through the screening, consenting, and enrollment processes. They also mentioned organizing recruitment around patients' pre-scheduled primary care visits and traveling to patient locations instead of requiring them to travel. Finally, some grantees consider passive approaches, such as general advertising, to be less effective because the onus is on the patient to take the initiative and contact the project, resulting in lower response rates.
...
Grantees develop partnerships to collaborate with community organizations or individuals with relevant expertise. Grantees spoke of the benefit they found in developing relationships with other organizations to meet their recruitment goals.
...
Grantees also found value in reaching outside the health care community to churches and other community organizations that serve their population of interest.
...
When trying to recruit particular patient populations based on clinical criteria, grantees use "indirect" recruitment methods.
...
The grantees noted that, even though these approaches are effective ways to recruit participants, they are not efficient because of the level of effort required of the project personnel to screen those eligible for the project. In these cases, several grantees noted the value of identifying a person the grantee trusts to introduce the project to the participants, such as their primary care provider or church leader. This "person of trust" builds a connection between patients and the project team. The project team is therefore often not the first to inform potential participants about the project. Instead, the team members contact patients after they are already familiar with the goals and scope of the research study.
...
External forces may affect whether people are willing and/or able to enroll in research projects. Grantees agreed that even when using exemplary recruitment methods and strategies, many eligible participants who could benefit clinically from these projects still are not interested in joining, and those who join often cannot be retained through the course of the project.

@Lookout remdesivir potential for harm. Here are links regarding the three studies in the presentation.

Press Releases September 22, 2021 for Veklury® (Remdesivir) Significantly Reduced Risk of Hospitalization in High-Risk Patients with COVID-19

Enrollment for this trial was stopped prior to fulfilling enrollment targets in April 2021, reflecting the changing epidemiology and adoption of additional treatment options at the time; however, the study continued to collect data on enrolled participants and both investigators and participants remained blinded to their assignment of Veklury or placebo.

Reminder in a blinded study medical staff and patient are unaware if receiving active drug or placebo. Physician generally need to contact study director to stop therapy if suspected is worsening patient's condition. Must follow study protocol vs altering therapy per micro changes in patient conditions.

Compassionate Use of Remdesivir for Patients with Severe Covid-19 June 11, 2020

To date, no therapy has demonstrated efficacy for patients with Covid-19. This preliminary report describes the clinical outcomes in a small cohort of patients who were severely ill with Covid-19 and were treated with remdesivir. Although data from several ongoing randomized, controlled trials will soon provide more informative evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of remdesivir for Covid-19, the outcomes observed in this compassionate-use program are the best currently available data.
...
Unfortunately, our compassionate-use program did not collect viral load data to confirm the antiviral effects of remdesivir or any association between baseline viral load and viral suppression, if any, and clinical response. Moreover, the duration of remdesivir therapy was not entirely uniform in our study, largely because clinical improvement enabled discharge from the hospital. The effectiveness of a shorter duration of therapy (e.g., 5 days, as compared with 10 days), which would allow the treatment of more patients during the pandemic, is being assessed in ongoing randomized trials of this therapy.

Case report study of the first five COVID-19 patients treated with remdesivir in France June 30, 2020

As described in previous case reports (Grein et al., 2020, Kujawski et al., 2020), four of the five patients experienced major side effects while on remdesivir treatment: two suffered acute renal injury and two had a maculopapular rash with cytolytic hepatitis. Both kidney failure events could have been related either to remdesivir or to the SARS-CoV-2 infection.
...
In conclusion, the cases of the five patients presented herein highlight some difficulties with remdesivir infusion when administered in most patients with advanced disease. Particular attention should be paid to hepatic and kidney function when administering this treatment.

Polyphenols and their potential role to fight viral diseases: An overview

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8373592/
PDF: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8373592/pdf/main.pdf

"Abstract
Fruits, vegetables, spices, and herbs are a potential source of phenolic acids and polyphenols. These compounds are known as natural by-products or secondary metabolites of plants, which are present in the daily diet and provide important benefits to the human body such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-allergic, antihypertensive and antiviral properties, among others. Plentiful evidence has been provided on the great potential of polyphenols against different viruses that cause widespread health problems. As a result, this review focuses on the potential antiviral properties of some polyphenols and their action mechanism against various types of viruses such as coronaviruses, influenza, herpes simplex, dengue fever, and rotavirus, among others. Also, it is important to highlight the relationship between antiviral and antioxidant activities that can contribute to the protection of cells and tissues of the human body. The wide variety of action mechanisms of antiviral agents, such as polyphenols, against viral infections could be applied as a treatment or prevention strategy; but at the same time, antiviral polyphenols could be used to produce natural antiviral drugs. A recent example of an antiviral polyphenol application deals with the use of hesperidin extracted from Citrus sinensis. The action mechanism of hesperidin relies on its binding to the key entry or spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. Finally, the extraction, purification and recovery of polyphenols with potential antiviral activity, which are essential for virus replication and infection without side-effects, have been critically reviewed."

“This is a disease based on the manipulation of statistics.”

So…

Is there a way to actually test for the virus?

Get all the details HERE.

For the 2nd time, we bring back James Lyons-Weiler as he continues unraveling more hidden information…

Did you know that the chances of getting injured from these C-19 shots are 3:1?

You have to sacrifice more than twice the number of people, just to save one life.

Every life counts…

But if you heard that you had a 3:1 chance of dying while skydiving, would you do it?

It’s NOT worth the risk and there are better alternatives.

So WHY are they pushing so hard for these shots to get sent out to the rest of the world?

SEE WHY JAMES CONSIDERS THE CDC’S REPORTS AS “NOT CREDIBLE.”

Listen to this Patient Testimonial:

Meet Rebekah Gold.

After her first 2 shots, Rebekah started to bleed profusely every single day for 5 months which in turn messed up her menstrual cycle.

While doing some more research after the fact, she came to find out that Women’s Health wasn’t really a factor or thought of when these experimental trials were taking place to get C0V!D shots passed for the general public.

Why was she being ignored, almost hushed-up by her healthcare physicians when she brought these side-effects up to them?

CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT SHE FOUND OUT.

Services are being privatized as our rules demand.

They want to be the perfect US satellite because back in 1994 we made a deal with them for your jobs, no doubt thinking we could figure out a way to get out of it. They don't want to give us any way to delay it any longer. So they are following all the GATS rules.

Thank you USA for your service.

The Belgian Congo (French: Congo belge, pronounced [kɔ̃ɡo bɛlʒ]; Dutch: Belgisch-Congo[a]) was a Belgian colony in Central Africa from 1908 until independence in 1960. The former colony adopted its present name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), in 1964.

Colonial rule in the Congo began in the late 19th century. King Leopold II of Belgium attempted to persuade the Belgian government to support colonial expansion around the then-largely unexploited Congo Basin. Their ambivalence resulted in Leopold's establishing a colony himself. With support from a number of Western countries, Leopold achieved international recognition of the Congo Free State, in 1885.[7] By the turn of the century, the violence used by Free State officials against indigenous Congolese and a ruthless system of economic exploitation led to intense diplomatic pressure on Belgium to take official control of the country, which it did by creating the Belgian Congo in 1908.[8]

Belgian rule in the Congo was based on the "colonial trinity" (trinité coloniale) of state, missionary and private-company interests.[9] The privileging of Belgian commercial interests meant that large amounts of capital flowed into the Congo and that individual regions became specialised. On many occasions, the interests of the government and of private enterprise became closely linked, and the state helped companies to break strikes and to remove other barriers raised by the indigenous population.[9] The colony was divided into hierarchically organised administrative subdivisions, and run uniformly according to a set "native policy" (politique indigène). This differed from the practice of British and French colonial policy, which generally favoured systems of indirect rule, retaining traditional leaders in positions of authority under colonial oversight.[clarification needed]

During the 1940s and 1950s the Belgian Congo experienced extensive urbanisation, and the colonial administration began various development programmes aimed at making the territory into a "model colony".[10] One result saw the development of a new middle-class of Europeanised African "évolués" in the cities.[10] By the 1950s the Congo had a wage labour force twice as large as that in any other African colony.[11]

In 1960, as the result of a widespread and increasingly radical pro-independence movement, the Congo achieved independence, becoming the Republic of the Congo under Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba and President Joseph Kasa-Vubu. Poor relations between political factions within the Congo, the continued involvement of Belgium in Congolese affairs, and the intervention by major parties (mainly the United States and the Soviet Union) during the Cold War led to a five-year-long period of war and political instability, known as the Congo Crisis, from 1960 to 1965. This ended with the seizure of power by Joseph-Désiré Mobutu in November 1965.

I like wishful thinking as much as the next guy, but since the National Basketball League initiated the shut down on civic life on March 10, 2020, I have not heard one snippet of actual good news. The reported numbers have gone up and down, defying explanation, with never the slightest hint of an end to the crisis. Just about everybody on the planet wants it to end, but nothing so far has offered any realistic hope that the people running the various governments and public health organizations will change the course which has now devolved, irrationally, to Mandatory Vaccination as the main weapon against the virus.

The latest numbers are good news when considered in context with the hysterical fear mongering blasting at peak volume from all the usual politicians and mass media talking heads about the Dreaded Omicron. On the other hand, the current numbers which are trending upward might return to the headlines as proof of how Omicron must be dealt with by more mandates.

Whatever. The reported numbers may not be accurate -- but they are posted for anybody to see on a daily basis.

I looked at these numbers a week and a half ago, showing how the downward trends in both "cases" and fatalities had turned back upward as of mid-November. The trend continues:

.

Cases, whatever the hell that means, are trending back up:

The late summer surge peaked at over 160,000 per day as of September 2.

As noted on this board, those numbers dropped significantly over the next two months, falling below 72,000 per day as of October 30.

Unfortunately, the "cases" have accelerated since then to over 95,000 per day as of November 24.

An increase of over 30% in less than four weeks.

Latest figures as of December 4, 7 day rolling average: 106,000, up another 10% in just ten days.

.

Meanwhile fatalities have bottomed out and have started to inch back up, following the familiar pattern of deaths following infections by a few weeks.

The death rate for the late summer surge peaked at about 2,000 per day on September 24.

It fell below 1,000 per day as of November 17

It has climbed back up to 1,016 as of November 24.

December 4 report shows a 7 day rolling average of 1102. Just under 10% increase in ten days.

.

Regarding the planet:

A pronounced global surge is under way.

Cases bottomed out from the previous surge at just over 400,000 per day as of October 15.

Most recent cases total reported around the world is well over 550,000 as of November 24.

Closing in on 40% more cases per day in just six weeks.

December 4 report of 7 day rolling average at 595,000 a little less than 50% higher than mid-October.
.

Reported fatalities reached a low point of 6657 per day as of October 17.

Most recent number of deaths is 7182 per day as of November 24.

A modest but noticeable increase of about 8%

The fatalites have not increased in pace with the "cases" -- the only good news on the board. They are down about 2% at 7033.

.

To re-iterate, all of those numbers could be utterly bogus for all I know. But as of now, neither Mother Nature nor The Science Army fighting her can be seen to be anywhere close to ending this dispute. Since the Pfizer executives have assured their investors all along that they believe this will become endemic, I have a hard time seeing any hope at all for The Science Army to win this fight, and the virus will continue to exist and mutate for basically ever.

Who am I to argue with the corporation that "saved us" as one interlocutor told me several months ago? There is no reason to expect this to end soon -- or ever, perhaps.

Sucks, doesn't it?

@fire with fire
and so effective on instilling fear, and the consequent compliance that that instills, that it’s difficult to imagine it being allowed to end any time soon.

In the meantime, we need to continue to fight to protect a doctors right to prescribe off label pharmaceuticals, as well as eating healthy, exercise, and supplementing important vitamins if necessary, in order to keep our immune system robust.

We could, theoretically, bring our misguided universal vaccination strategy (which has already amply demonstrated its inability to resolve this pandemic IMHO) to a screeching halt for all otherwise healthy individuals and instead work to preserve our individual innate immune system and build on it with the natural immunity that follows from recovery from a COVID-19 infection. The immune protection conferred by our imperfect vaccines is of little use, and may actually be weakening our over all immune protection as it spawns endless variants on its way to NOT achieving “herd immunity”. Geert Vanden Bossche explains this in greater detail HERE.

It didn’t have to be this way.
