Missed Bacterial Pneumonia Cases Left Untreated Were the Majority of COVID-19 Hospital Deaths
In April 2020, I warned about that the false positive-prone non-quantitative RT-PCR was deadly. Now we know, again, I was (sadly) correct.

Hospital protocolists sticking to the strict hand-me-down highly profitable “COVID protocol” may have doomed a majority of admitted COVID-19 patients to death due to a perfect storm of institutional failure.

I first warned FDA in early 2020 that because the commercial kits did not use internal negative controls there would be arbitrarily high COVID-19 false positive rates due to the abuse of non-quantitative PCR. The majority of “cases”, I pointed out, would be false because the test was to be used as a screening device – and when you screen with an imperfect test when prevalence is low, you end up with more false positives than negatives in the set of positives.
Knowing that people who were symptomatic for respiratory infections would be among the most tested population and that Fauci’s medical approach to COVID-19 was to tell people to go home and get as sick as possible, it was readily clear that people would be dying due to lack of treatment for treatable conditions, like bacterial pneumonia and fungal infections in the lung.
Now a study from NIH-funded researchers in Chicago, IL has found that unresolved respiratory infections – not necessarily those involved in SARS-CoV-2 – were present in people who failed to “respond” to mechanical ventilation.
The authors wrote:
“Recent data suggest that secondary pneumonia is present in up to 40% and pneumonia or diffuse alveolar damage is present in over 90% of autopsy specimens obtained from patients with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection (18). Consistent with these observations, we and others found high rates of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation, suggesting that bacterial superinfections such as VAP may contribute to mortality in patients with COVID-19 (7, 19–22). These findings prompt an alternative hypothesis that a relatively low mortality rate directly attributable to primary SARS-CoV-2 infection is offset by a greater risk of death attributable to unresolving VAP (23).”
They concluded:
“These data suggest mortality associated with severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia is more often associated with respiratory failure that increases the risk of unresolving VAP and is less frequently associated with multiple-organ dysfunction.”
Unsurprisingly, the study found that people with bacterial pneumonia who were on ventilators had the highest mortality. Although their analysis restricted consideration to bacterial pneumonia cases detected 48 hours after ventilation, they did not distinguish between undiagnosed cases of bacterial pneumonia upon admission and those acquired in-hospital (nosocomial infection). The rate of co-infection is not clear either, due to insufficient testing for bacterial pneumonia in patients once diagnosed with COVID-19.
The study leads to the stunning potential that perhaps 58% of “COVID” cases were respiratory issues other than COVID (43% bacterial pneumonia, 16% non-pathogen causes of respiratory failure). Treated as “COVID”, these patients were doomed to a fate of non-treatment due to mis- or under-diagnosis.
It is unclear what percentage of deaths attributed to COVID-19 could have been prevented via a standard therapy for bacterial pneumonia, but it is potentially very high. Fauci’s prescription – sending patients home to do nothing – no corticosteroids, no antibiotics just in case it was bacterial – drove the COVID-19 death rate up far higher than it had to be.

Is Israel Uniquely Evil?

By Irfan Chowdhury | Palestine Chronicle | July 18, 2020
… Israel has been carrying out the longest-running military occupation in modern history and the longest-running siege in modern history. These two facts alone render Israel unique in terms of the scope of its brutality and criminality.
There are other respects in which Israel stands out from other countries in its use of terror and violence; for example, it is one of the most aggressive countries in the world, having waged wars of aggression against Lebanon in 1978, 1982, 1993, 1996 and 2006, and against Gaza in 2004, 2006, 2008/9, 2012 and 2014, killing huge numbers of civilians in the process (all while issuing threats and carrying out various covert attacks against Iran, which are all in violation of the UN Charter). … continue

Fauci and his corporate media bullhorn stampeded millions of people into hospitals in the early stages of Covid-19, with fear of dying. Yet Fauci all but banned prophylactic use, lying to Americans, telling them that Hydroxichloriquin and Ivermectin were untested. People were treated like cockroaches. They checked into hospital but never checked out. Families were denied visitation as their loved ones were tortured to death on ventilators and cremated. Never in human history had a population been so lied to and people made to believe they were next to die if they didn’t wear a mask. Worse yet, it was all a “manufactured illusion” said Dr. David Martin who had exposed the Anthrax scare after 911 as a CIA psyop that was used to put into place a preparatory legal basis for what was next to come. Mandatory Lockdown!
But before Covid mandatory lockdowns could be successfully imposed in 2020, a dry run was needed to check Americans’ willingness to follow Martial Law dictates without Martial Law being declared. And what was the event that was used? The Boston Marathon bombing. The City of Boston and surrounding suburbs were told to stay in their homes or they would be subject to arrest, even though it violated every state and federal statute.
It was reported that an official from the Obama administration supervised the entire operation as the city of Boston was locked down for want of two brothers who were prime suspects in the Marathon bombing.
The brothers were not unknown to the FBI either. The older brother was reported to have been trained at a terrorist training camp in Dagastan. He was on the watch lists of two US intelligence agencies. Russian officials had even warned the US about him. Yet the FBI did nothing to prevent his actions? The only plausible reason for that is because these brothers were unwittingly part of a US intelligence psywar operation that would be played out over the course of several days in the City of Boston. The entire world would watch as an American big city willingly locked themselves up in their homes while authorities looked for two suspected bombers.
The most plausible explanation is that the brothers, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, were expendable “patsies” who, after carrying out their pressure cooker bombing near the Boston Marathon finish line, were to be hunted down and conveniently killed.
Except for the capture of Dzhokhar, CIA’s psyop trial balloon concluded successfully. Bostonians did not revolt against the illegal lockdown. They obeyed authorities to the letter, staying locked up in their homes even though there was no legal basis for it.
Ask yourself, since when are residents of a big city told to lockdown while authorities search for two perps on the loose? And since when have residents of any big city ever obeyed such orders for something that is a nightly occurrence in Roxbury, Chicago, or New York cities? Never! That is until April 15, 2013, when the residents of Boston proved to the Deep State that the majority of Americans are sheep willing to be sheared.
