Have All Your Staff Vaccinated and We Will Give You £1.4 Million Extra Funding, Says UK Government
Conclusion Nurses have always been thought of as natural born carers. To force them to have vaccinations by dangling a nice juicy carrot in front of them with a vaccine syringe on the end and saying that their patients will suffer if they do not have the vaccination is pure evil. This is nothing short of emotional blackmail. Why should the government think that it is right to deny hospitals much-needed funds all year and then say that the money is only available if they vaccinate their staff with dangerous and unnecessary vaccines? Let’s face it. If all staff members do decide to have the flu vaccine, “for the ...

Influenza: a deadly risk in schools before COVID
The Washington Post published an interesting article in its weekly health section on March 2. 2021. The article had an impactful graphic using data from the Centers for Disease Control that showed the number of pediatric deaths due to influenza over the last four years.

Allergies, Colds and COVID: How to Tell the Difference
What follows is a breakdown of the symptoms of allergies, cold and flu, along with what we know so far about COVID. My hope is that this will provide parents with a quick checklist that can help assess what their child may be experiencing so they can then pursue the appropriate treatment. Allergies Allergies occur when the body perceives certain particles, like dust or pollen, as foreign invaders. Allergies often arise if a child did not experience much exposure (say, to pets or pollen) growing up, or the predisposition can be passed down genetically. While these tiny particles are not necessarily a threat to health, the b...

Best of Our Blogs: January 18, 2013
I’m often surprised when a heated argument with someone turns out to be a fight over the same thing. Most of the time angry and dramatic outbursts hide hurt feelings. Opposite parties usually just want to be heard and validated. What gets us into a regretful territory is focusing on being right and worrying more about being heard than hearing others. I’ve realized over time that when it comes to better communication and having a less stressful life, the more I attempt to control the situation, the worse the situation gets. If I’m anxious, for example, my body will tense up in reaction. I can feel my pulse...

There is no quick fix for kids ’ cold and flu symptoms but there are things you can do
Colder weather is upon us again – and so is cold and flu season. Nearly two years into the fight against COVID-19, we welcome children returning to schools, daycare, and sports. But with the loosening of restrictions and increased social contacts, we are also now seeing increased circulation of common seasonal respiratory viruse s.

Less ‐​Costly Ways to Reduce the Harm of COVID-19 Without Travel‐​and‐​Immigration‐​Bans
ConclusionA mix of the policy options above, from Pigovian taxes and subsidies to small changes in property rights as well as reducing ignorance and other regulatory changes at airports, could have a large effect in reducing the spread of COVID-19 at a very low cost. Extreme options like travel ‐​and‐​immigration‐​bans might be appropriate if the expected cost of COVID-19 climbs beyond a certain point, but less ‐​costly policies should be tried first. In other words, let’s have TSA agents squirt hand sanitizer into the hands of all travelers before closing the airports.

Thought experiment
Please don ' t get me wrong. I ' ve seen other people try to put our present crisis in context, or discuss the costs vs. the benefits of certain actions, and be widely condemned for insensitivity or even sociopathy. I remember after the 9/11 attack, when people who tried to explain the motivations or sociological origins of Al Qaeda and similar movements faced the same sort of criticism. You weren ' t allowed to think about the problem, people weren ' t ready for any sort of moral confusion. In what I am about to say, I am not arguing against saving lives, on the contrary. I ' m just trying to explain something about where...

Why You Can ’t Find Safe Vaccines
Conclusions Safe, effective, affordable homeopathic immunizations exist for almost every illness now targeted by unsafe, costly, failed conventional vaccinations. If the goal were to provide protection from disease in a safe manner, why aren’t these safe, inexpensive homeopathic options made available to the public on a large scale? Millions of dollars in healthcare costs would be saved by using a less expensive immunization. Most significant would be the reduction of vaccine-caused diseases including autism, asthma, allergies, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, and cancer. The health of Americans would improve in dramatic ...

Everyone Has a Part to Play in Ending Vaccine Hesitancy
Felicia D. Goodrum Sterling Heidi L. Pottinger By FELICIA D. GOODRUM STERLING, PhD and HEIDI L. POTTINGER, DrPH, MPH, MA The measles outbreak in Washington state this week has brought new attention to the anti-vaccine movement.  In fact, the World Health Organization recently identified “vaccine hesitancy” as one of top threats to global health. In the US, the number of unvaccinated children has quadrupled since 2001, enabling the resurgence of infectious diseases long-since controlled.  In fact, the WHO claims a staggering 1.5 million deaths could be prevented worldwide by improved vaccination rates. Amidst the medi...

Doctor Doom prognosticates again
Nouriel Rubini is the economist nicknamed " Dr. Doom " because he correctly predicted the 2007-2008 financial crisis and the resulting Great Recession.Now he ' s at it again. This time, however, it ' s not just one thing. He ' s seeing geopolitical stresses, notably the quadruple confrontations of the U.S. with China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. He ' s seeing the coronavirus. He ' s seeing natural disasters associated with climate change. I don ' t know what he ' s on about with the abnormal seismic activity and undersea volcanoes, but he ' s got enough to legitimately worry about.The situation regarding coronavirus is b...

Myocarditis update from Sweden
BY ANISH KOKA The COVID19/vaccine myocarditis debate continues in large part because our public health institutions are grossly mischaracterizing the risks and benefits of vaccines to young people. A snapshot of what the establishment says as it relates to the particular area of concern: college vaccine mandates: Dr. Arthur Reingold, an epidemiology professor at UC-Berkeley, notes that UC also requires immunizations for measles and chickenpox, and people still are dying from COVID at rates that exceed those for influenza. As of Feb. 1, there were more than 400 COVID deaths a day across the U.S. “The arg...

Podcast: Don ’ t Let Coronavirus Impact Your Mental Health
 It’s often said that fear is the most dangerous virus on the planet. While a relatively small percentage of people will contract the new coronavirus, or COVID-19, the fear it provokes will chip away at the mental health of nearly everyone who hears about it. So why does COVID-19 inspire so much fear when there are other diseases lurking in the shadows? And what can we do about it? In today’s podcast, our guest Dr. David Batman, a registered medical practitioner in the U.K., discusses how this high level of unprecedented global panic is being intensified by the non-stop media, and specifically, social media.

Will There Be A Second Wave Of COVID-19?
In short? Yes, there most certainly will. Or, looking at it from another perspective, there might not be a second wave as the first one won’t end. In any case, which scenario is more probable depends on your country’s leadership and decisions and whether people will be compliant enough to go along with the restrictions. Because how governments are preparing for it over the next few weeks will be crucial in the fight against the pandemic. The search is still on for a vaccine and it certainly won’t be ready by the time experts say the second wave hits the stage. Technically, to talk about a second wave, the firs...

Coronavirus Anxiety: Social Distancing Helps Stop the Spread
A lot of people are understandably anxious and upset about the looming spread of the novel coronavirus — called COVID-19 — in the United States. When faced with the unknown, with a scarcity of data, and disagreement among scientists about the likely infection rates within the US, anxiety appears to be an entirely appropriate emotion to have. But we can all help to stop the spread of the coronavirus, even if we’re not at particularly big risk for getting it or getting sick from it. It’s called “social distancing,” and it can help a great deal in keeping our national outbreak as low as pos...

“Police State” Registry System Being Set Up to Track Your Vaccination Status
Conclusion The Public Law exclusively states exactly where the data will come from – the Immunization Information Systems. Can you imagine police or sheriffs escorting the vaccine squad(s) for “non-compliant” parents? At this point, I really can’t put it past them. Consequently, once this system is completely operational, the sky is the limit. Big Brother has the capability to track more than just vaccines. You can anticipate finding just about any pharmaceutical drug mandated by the government in this same system. The question then becomes, who influences the government agencies mandating vaccines? “...
