Puerperal fever

I am going to quote from brief passages from the book Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History, by Suzanne Humphries, MD and Roman Bystrianyk, written in 2013 and updated in 2015. I would file the chapter about puerperal fever (pyoo͞-ûr′pər-əl) under the heading “Doctors think they are gods”. The condition came about as doctors and hospitals began to crowd out midwives, who apparently knew something about cleanliness that doctors did not. And of course all doctors were male at that time, so there was no sense even trying womansplaining. They weren’t listening.

There is no particular bacteria associated with puerperal fever, and of course (in my view) no virus. It came about because  of filth. Doctors refused to wash their hands and instruments between births, and often inserted them into the post-partum vaginal canal. The result, often enough, was severe pain, pelvic abscesses, sepsis, high fever and an agonizing death.

Winter is coming, and other stuff

I rarely publish graphs. It’s been my experience that people for the most part do not know how to interpret them. It must be some specialized teaching that comes about in post-graduate studies. Graphic interpretation should be taught in grade school forward, but is not. Here’s one to ponder, however:

That is a rough cut, I realize, as I cut the page out of a book and scanned it. But here is the important content. The graph is a representation of Northern Hemisphere (NH) temperatures for the last 10,000 years, which we call the “Holocene Interglacial period.” Climate alarmists, steeped as they are in lies and propaganda, have changed the Holocene from an “interglacial period” to an “epoch,” in other words saying that humans have interrupted the normal cycle of events, and that the Holocene, due to warming, will continue on now, in perpetuity. That is scientific trash.

The Testing Pandemic

Note to Readers: Last night I read a portion of Drs. Mark and Samantha Bailey’s book, The Final Pandemic: An Antidote to Medical Tyranny. Specifically, I read pages 111 to 121. In so doing, I realized that I was now closer to understanding the concept of “virus isolation” as done by virologists as I have ever been. I have listened to Andrew Kaufman and Tom Cowan talk at length about this subject, along with others. They try, but the lecture format, which barely works in classrooms at any level, comes with the reminder given me by John Cleese, that “a lecture is a form of communication by which the notes on a teacher’s lectern magically become notes on a student’s tablet – without passing through the brain of either.”  I listened to both Cowan and Kaufman even as I distrusted them, and came away with very little etched on my brain.

Perhaps the closest I came to grasping it was the work of David Crowe, who died mysteriously of a sudden-onset cancer. His work thereafter didn’t disappear, but was compacted and most of the good parts removed.

The Bailey’s note that in 2003 with the first SARS-CoV virus, there was no pandemic. The reason, as they assert in the following paragraphs, was that in 2003 the PCR test was rarely used, and the rapid antigen test did not exist. At that point I am going to pick up their writing as I transcribed it this morning, hoping that you can enjoy as I did the experience of reading two people who really understand their subject matter, and have reduced it down to something we can all grasp without much in the way of Herculean effort. It all happens beneath the fold. It is 3,200 words or so. If you come upon typos, please let me know in the comment section so I can fix them.  Audio transcription is an imperfect technique.

The Indoctrinated Brain, by Michael Nehls, MD, PhD

I wrote about this book previously, and was unduly harsh on the author, Dr. Nehls. My consolation is that this is but a small blog, so that my harsh tone and words most likely never reached him. I have now finished the book, and yesterday spent most of my day transcribing passages I had highlighted while reading. In the end, I transcribed 10,700 words over 19 pages. I used Nuance Dragon to do so, and as much as I like the program, I know in writing this I will come upon many typos, some humorous.

That is a lot of material to cover, and far too much to undertake for a mere blog post. What I have decided to do, as best I am able, is to boil the book down to essential elements put forth by Nehls. I’ll do a citation here and there, and then elaborate. The truth is this: A densely written book like this will not attract many readers. I’ll try to be fair to the author, and keep my own opinions apart from his.

Poor Russ marked down, a Climate Emergency, and a conversation with AI

Above is a photo from last weekend at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Denver. As we walked in there was a display rack that must have had 300 jerseys on it, each with the number 3 and the name Wilson on it. For those who don’t follow football, the Denver Broncos signed Wilson two years ago to a monster deal that was supposed to last five years. He did not work out, and the Broncos just recently released him, taking a huge pay hit (cap ceiling, if your follow football).  Some notes:

  • These jerseys are marked down 75%, which tells us how far Russell Wilson’s stock has fallen. But take note: Their retail price is $130! That knocks them down to about $32.50 each, which is probably still profitable for Dick’s.
  • I am sure I am like most everyone in that while I enjoy some sports, I do not idolize players, and would not for a second consider wearing a shirt that has a name on the back that is not mine. What is wrong with sports fans? Are their lives so empty that they must compensate by putting  someone else’s name on their back? Do they also have this annoying habit of referring to the team they support as “we”? Isn’t that interesting.

Numbers and dates

I was reading along in The Indoctrinated Brain: How to Successfully Fend Off the Global Attack on Your Mental Freedom, by Michael Nehls, MD, PhD. I will have much more to write about it, probably next week, as I’ve still 47 pages to go, and it is tough reading. And, the print is tiny. Yesterday as I read on page 141 that the Korean War officially ended on September 24, 1953. As I do, I quickly added the digits, and found that 9+2+4+1+9+5+3 = … 33.

I decided to make a list of important dates, to see if they are by chance spook markers. Here are a few:

Rebooting

TimR suggested I put up the comment below as a fresh post. Background: TimR posted a link as follows:

https://www.arkmedic.info/p/there-was-no-virus

He asked us to look it over and comment on it, which I and others did. Recently he was somewhat flustered that he thought arkmedic was making a simple point and that none of us were reviewing it or really commenting on it.

MM 911 Thoughts

Miles Mathis has offered a summary of the events of 9/11/2001. He introduces new and old concepts. New to me is the idea that the buildings were laced with asbestos, and the cost of decontamination far exceeded the cost of demolition. Also, legal demolition would have required evacuation of Manhattan, possibly large swaths of Long Island as well, possibly even New Jersey. It was easier, says Mathis, to do it all illegally. At five pages it is quick and concise and well worth everybody’s time.

The car chase

First, my hat is off to the cinematic expertise in the above chase scene. The cutting and splicing are superb, and the drivers, whoever they were, are highly skilled. If you start watching this (10:19) I will wager you finish it. The acting, what little is called for, is of three men who are calm as steel as they travel the hills of San Francisco and then end up on the outskirts, where finally, Lt. Frank Bullitt prevails. He avoids shotgun blasts and finally forces the two bad guys off the road and to flaming deaths.

Earlier in the movie, Lt. Bullitt is confronted by Walter Chalmers, played by Robert Vaughn, and Lt. Bullitt utters the word “Bullshit!” I was 18 at the time, and had never before heard a swear word uttered in a movie.

Three fun books, one not so much

I noticed last night as I sat in my recliner that I am working on three books at once, and having a good time at it. I don’t know how this happened, as I’ve been in book desert for some time now. Anyway, these are not book reviews, as I am not done with any of them. These are just my impressions based on the number of 3M flags sticking out from the side of each.

The Final Pandemic: An Antidote to Medical Tyranny, by Drs. Mark and Sam Bailey.

The Bailey’s are Aussies Kiwis who turned up right around the time as Andy Kaufman and Tom Cowan, each of whom has eschewed medical credentials, no longer using the title doctor. Consequently, I was slow to trust. But I’ve grown to respect both Sam and Mark. This book is really an antidote to another that sits on my shelf, Virus Mania, by Engelbrecht, Kohnlein, Scoglio and the aforementioned Sam Bailey. That’s a good book, loaded with useful information, but I often wonder the value of such works in a country where people watch on average 36 hours of television a week and spend an additional twenty hours online. People won’t read it and will remain the wards of television, the vast wasteland.

The Baileys’ objective, as I read it, is to make Virus Mania accessible to more people. What I have read so far is a shredding of the myth of the asymptomatic carrier, the beating heart of the fake pandemic. Coupled with misuse of PCR technology, and we have the makings of a fake pandemic.  Yet ahead to read is the mythology that viruses ready to jump to humans from other species, destroying bat mythology in the process.

I’ll probably write some more after I am done reading it. You ain’t off the hook yet, readers.
