This Week in Covid

To paraphrase Leon Trotsky, you may not be interested in covid, but covid is a big part of your future. Because you will either be a survivor or will fall beside the wayside. Every infection is a chance for covid virions to burrow into immunoprotected tissue and from there chip away at your immune system.

Since Australia “let her rip” in 2021, deaths have settled to be about 30,000 per year above the prior established trend. By comparison, cancer has been killing about 50,000 Australians per annum. Covid has become a big part of our disease load. Given how the disease was designed, this will only increase with time.

 

 

Few of these have covid as the cause of death on their death certificate. Anecdotally, there have been increases in heart problems, blood clots, and cancer. Every covid infection is another dose of spike protein.

A recent paper details the straightforward connection between covid infection and microthrombosis, cancer, dementia, autoimmune disease and organ fibrosis.

Covid selectively attacks CD8 cells of the immune system, whereas HIV attacks CD4 cells. Loss of CD4 cells renders an individual susceptible to opportunistic infections. Loss of CD8 cells renders an individual susceptible to cancer, both recurrent and new, and to autoimmune diseases.

The mode of action starts with the loss of CD8 cells secreting interferon gamma, which means that the immune response is dominated by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β). A high blood sugar level means that the TGF-β can become glycosylated, which is having a sugar molecule attached to it. Glycosylated TGF-β promotes fibrosis in the lungs, liver, kidney, heart, and other organs. This is the reason, early in pandemic, it was realised that the overweight were more susceptible to covid. And why Kim Jong Un suddenly decided to lose 20 kg in 2021.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and clear cell carcinoma of the kidney are the top of the list of covid-related turbo cancers. Mannose, a naturally occurring sugar in fruits, is currently used for urinary tract infection in women as an alternative to antibiotics. Mannose also enhances the effect of chemotherapy and has a positive effect on those four cancers.

The effect of covid on US death statistics is well documented. For example, this graph shows the steady rise in excess cancers in the US since late 2020:

 

 

Excess cancer deaths in the US have now reached 250 per week. Scaling for population, that equates to perhaps 25 excess cancer deaths per week in Australia. This is a fraction of the 600 excess deaths per week in Australia, so the bulk of the deaths would be likely heart-related at the moment.

With respect to heart disease, covid was created in the mind of Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina. He co-authored four papers on how to use a corona virus to cause heart disease in rabbits from 1987:

1987 — Coronavirus-induced cardiomyopathy in rabbits

1989 — Rabbit cardiomyopathy

1992 — Myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy following rabbit coronavirus infection

1996 — Electrocardiograph changes following rabbit coronavirus infection

All the people suddenly dropping dead now from covid are the fruit of that work.

This diagram summarizes the results of a second interesting paper:

 

 

The study matched 133 covid-infected against 98 healthy controls, and tested them at 10 weeks and 10 months after a covid infection. At the 10 month mark, the covid-infected had a big decrease in innate and adaptive immune cells and a big increase in memory T cells. There was also a big reduction in interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and a significant increase in interleukin-4 (IL-4). The fact that these changes occurred at 10 months after the initial infection suggests that the infection is permanent.

These immune system changes increase the susceptibility to infections, reduce the antibody response to previously encountered pathogens, trigger auto-immune response, delay wound healing, increase cancer risk, impair the inflammatory response, impair maternal-fetal tolerance, increase the allergic response, increase fibrosis. In particular, IFN-γ is crucial for generating protective adaptive immunity against some infections, such as cryptosporidium. This explains the big spike in cryptosporidium cases on the east coast of Australia in early 2024:

 

 

We can’t live with covid. We are unlikely to be able to eradicate it because it has infected wildlife. For example, covid has been found in white-tailed deer in a belt stretching from Iowa to New York. Every host species is a chance for the virus to mutate faster.

Thanks to Fauci, Daszak, Baric, and Bill Gates, for humanity to survive we will need to be on a combined antiretroviral therapy (a once per day tablet) every day for the rest of our lives. Until the viral load goes to zero, as indicated by waste water testing, we are going backwards as a society. This is what Perth’s wastewater covid concentration has been for the last two and a half years:

 

 

And this graphic shows how the covid variants have changed over that time:
