Rate of total increase in hospitalizations, by 2 week periods:

8/1 - 8/15: 8.5%
Aug 29: 6.2%
Sep 12: 4.7%
Sep 26: 4.5%
Oct 10: 4.0%

overall, hospitalizations are NOT rising "faster". They are rising more slowly.

This is the same Dr Michael Osterholm who said back in March just how bad this Pandemic was going to be
//www.city-data.com/forum/57583742-post129.html
Of course it will get worse. We're having new record case amounts every day. We have not come near rounding the curve. If we continue with so-called herd immunity, many will die unnecessarily. Herd immunity does not exist with this virus. People can be reinfected.

Every time restaurants and schools open, they have to close again. It is ridiculous.

China actually has rounded the corner, and they did not do it by going for herd immunity.

Yes because bodily fluids contain germs and diseases and they are meant to protect against that. Why else would they be protecting against bodily fluids.

What I do fear is we are all being played. I'm starting to think COVID is being used for a much more sinister plan. We all need to start getting comfortable with the term Global Reset. That term is popping up more and more often. Here's a good clip that gives basics about what it is.

We also need to understand that we are artificially being divided. It's the oldest trick in the book yet so few Americans see it. Don't take the bait. While all the "isms" are important, they are not enough to divide this nation in which brother hates other brother for having opposing views. Don't take the bait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We as a nation are so caught up in the "divide game" that elite, corporate based owners of this world simply sneak in this Global Reset because nobody is paying attention. That's what they want!


So when do terms like Global Reset stop be "conspiracy theory" and one day become reality? As the video points out, the upcoming but delayed Davos Meeting which is attended by the World's biggest corporations and government talk about the Global Reset, why don't we as citizens? The answer is that we are so tied up in TDS, racism, sexism, blah blah blah, we have no bandwidth to think of other perils that may be lurking.


We need to learn to question everything! If you let mainstream media color your coloring book, you are being manipulated.


It's wise for those caught in the hatred vortex to occasionally look up now and then and do some critical thinking. These politicians Trump and Biden are just short term issues. Look deeper and farther into the future. I get it, most won't but if a more that can, the better.
Great post.

The fact that no trials have been permanently stopped already pretty much guarantees there will be a vaccine.

In a trial that includes tens of thousands of people it is not unusual for there to be some deaths. In the HPV vaccine trials the anti-vaxers got bent out of shape when deaths were reported - drownings and snakebites among others.

They are also to prevent the patient from being contaminated with the surgeon's bodily fluids. Would you want your surgeon's mouth covered if he coughed while there was an open incision in your abdomen? Using his elbow would contaminate his gown and eventually the entire sterile field.

Regarding the meningitis vaccine, this study looked at about 1.9 million recipients of a meningitis vaccine in Quebec. They identified no deaths due to the vaccine.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19446195/

Just because the volunteer received the meningitis vaccine does not mean the vaccine had anything to do with his death, which was reportedly due to COVID-19.
