ABS data shows 75% drop in birth rates since COVID-19 vaccines being approved and recommended for pregnant women

14/11/2022

One of the most controversial and tragic in all of the events over the past 3 years, despite assurances of the so-called health experts and government officials, is the effects of the "CV-19 carrot" (the so-called "prevention/treatment") on pregnant women and foetuses.

In 2021 I reported on a CDC-funded study which showed an extremely high rate of miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women who had the mRNA shots, at approximately 82% (Shimabukuro et al., 2021). But the authors of the study ignored the data and still claimed the carrots were perfectly safe! An independent study reviewed their data some months later and reported issues with their data and explicitly concluded an 82-92% pregnancy loss that was ignored in the original study (Brock & Thornley, 2021). This finding was dismissed by the mRNA carrot manufacturers, and medical professionals, and any posts warning people on this (including mine) were fact-checked as "false" by the social media platforms, and anyone posting such information were censored and thrown in FB jail.

Given a bit more time and the truth always comes out, or becomes harder to hide...

The most current statistics of birth rates from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), shows the tragic results of the mRNA carrots that were mandated/forced/coerced to pregnant women, despite no safety testing every being done, as pregnant women are not allowed to be used in medical trials.

Australias's birth rates have been steadily increasing from 18,000-20,000 in 1975 to approximately 22,000-25,000 in 2019-2020. Until the mRNA carrots were introduced in February 2021... (ABS, 2022).

Since May 2021, being 3 months from the start of the carrot program, the birth rates have dropped EVERY MONTH from 25,669 to just over 23,000 in October 2021... to just over 18,000 in November 2021, the lowest since well before 1975...

To just 6,659 in December 2021.

That's an approximately 75% DROP in birth rates in 6 months, or in just 10 months since the carrots were introduced, which is coincidentally the same as the duration of a human pregnancy at approximately 40 weeks or 10 months.

The data is not just about the drop in birth rates, but the approximate 20,000 babies who died from the the effects of the mRNA carrots injected during pregnancy.

The 2022 ABS data has not yet been released.

I heard of so many anecdotal stories of mothers losing their babies in pregnancy, from spontaneous abortions and miscarriages in 2021 and 2022. But some people believe that anecdotal evidence bears no scientific merit, but anecdotal evidence is ALWAYS seen first, before published studies. In new situations, anecdotal evidence MUST always be seen as the highest form of scientific evidence.

So it appears that the abovementioned 2 studies on the dangers of the carrots in pregnant women were tragically right. The heads of some companies, health officials, employers and others responsible, need to be held accountable for this, with compensation for the women affected, fines for the companies and directors, and perhaps even jail time for health officials who said the carrots were "safe and effective".

Stay healthy.

Renowned Cardiologist calls it a pandemic of misinformation

30/9/2022

0 Comments

Hindsight is always amazing... When you look back at decisions or choices made and reflect on whether that was the right thing to do, or did it work, or were there in fact issues that could be corrected or avoided for next time.

Dr Aseem Malhotra is an experienced and renowned heart surgeon and Cardiologist in London, UK. In a very recent interview to promote his two new published studies, he reflected on what has happened with regard to the COVID-19 vaccine program and was there a cost-benefit outcome from this worldwide clinical trial on (almost) every man, woman and child? His two studies may be seen as controversially titled, but I think is very fair and accurate - entitled "Curing the pandemic of misinformation on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines through real evidence-based medicine", parts 1 and 2 (Malhotra, 2022a; Malhotra, 2022b).

In the interview about these 2 new studies (Youtube, 2022), Dr Malhotra said he was very pro-vaccine, and got the two Pfizer shots early in their promotion, and he was even on TV shows promoting and recommending people to get them, and even attacking those who had "vaccine hesitancy" (those who didn't want to get the shots because of their lack of testing and having major risks). He said he got the shots and was promoting them as he said "I didn't conceive even the possibility, even though he had some scepticism of the benefit, I didn't think it would cause any significant harm at all". He then said that information changed and evolved, and he started looking at the data on the benefits vs side effects of the COVID-19 shots more critically because his father suffered a sudden heart attack and passed away in July 2021 and his post-mortem findings didn't make sense to him, with critical heart issues showing, despite being fit and healthy and having no family history of heart disease. His father's health and lifestyle, he said, was much better in recent years after getting a coronary calcium score test and other good test results.

Dr Malhotra then started seeing more information on the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) showing that they cause coronary inflammation and increase heart attack risk, and huge 25% increase in heart attacks in 16-39 year olds which was explicitly linked to the mRNA vaccines and not to the COVID-19 infection as such. And the icing on the cake with clear potential harms of these vaccines, which isn't being discussed, based in a published study in the Vaccine journal, re-evaluating the original randomised controlled data from the Pfizer and Moderna clinical trials, of the data which lead to their being approved for use, showing that someone is more likely to suffer a SERIOUS adverse event (such as a life-changing disability, hospitalisation etc) from the mRNA vaccines at a rate of one in 800 vaccines given. The risk of a serious vaccine reaction was higher than the risk of being hospitalised from the COVID-19 infection. Other studies of real-world data shows similar rates confirming the side effect risks of the mRNA vaccines is higher than being hospitalised from COVID-19, with Norway data showing a risk of one in 926 vaccines. This data is still based on the official REPORTED cases to government adverse events databases. The risk of the most vulnerable group, being the over-80s being hospitalised from COVID-19 is just one in 7000. True numbers of mRNA vaccine side effects are likely to be MUCH higher, with 90+% of adverse events not being reported at all.

Based on this data and his findings, Dr Malhotra recommends that the mRNA vaccines must be stopped while further investigations are done.

Another issue that Dr Malhotra has about the COVID-19 vaccine program is the right of "informed consent", being that people have an absolute right to decide for themselves on their health choices and their body, being based on good quality "evidence" from studies and data and "health officials" giving people that good quality information as risks vs benefits of the shots.

The second part of the two studies that Dr Malhotra has just published is about looking at "how we got it wrong, why we got it wrong, and what are the solutions moving forward". He has previously on three occasions called for public enquiries into excess deaths from prescribed medications, as deaths from doctors prescribing drugs is the THIRD most common cause of death behind heart disease and cancer.

Dr Malhotra says one of the biggest problems in health and medicine is "big pharma", referring to the major pharmaceutical companies with their "unchecked power", and "who function in ways which are anti-human, and they are profit-making machines, and they function like a psychopath, and have a history of deceiving people for profit and causing unnecessary harm".

Moving forward he says we need to:

Make sure that the medicines regulator isn't funded by the pharmaceutical industry, as the UK, US and Australian regulators certainly are, and in many other countries too
Disassociate medical education from pharmaceutical company sponsorship
Have independent testing of pharmaceutical drugs, and not relying on the pharma companies to do this (and manipulate their data).

Dr Malhotra agreed with the interviewer that the lack of any evidence of the COVID-19 vaccines preventing transmission made the vaccine mandates were absurd, unethical and criminal. He said that instead, the focus should have been on open discussions of the risks vs benefits and helping the most vulnerable, which would have likely given better outcomes with less harm, rather than the vaccines causing more harm than good in most people. The only benefit of the vaccine mandates was to the profit line of the pharma companies, despite the "extremely poor efficacy and unprecedented harm" they caused, and they are not interested in your health. He said we have to rebuild (the medical and health system) and move forward, by fixing the problems with "root cause analysis". All problems can be truly fixed by finding and fixing the root causes of the problem, not just symptom relief. He said even Doctors do not realise that the government medical regulators are part of the problem, with no independent testing being done on vaccines or medications.

His words of "root cause analysis" caught my attention, as this is what I do! I've known for a long time that this is what is needed to resolve health issues, but this is not the medical way that only "manages" the symptoms by hiding them with medications designed to suppress them, or surgeries to remove the symptom, but never to find and fix the causes. Because there was no training in root cause analysis in our education, and the same for Doctors, I've had to invent a process to help find all the root causes in each person. This helps me greatly with each client, and helps them to get better much more quickly and for long-term resolution of all symptoms and conditions.

Are we going heading toward oblivion, or should we start changing track to Utopia? His words.

The many coincidences of a Monkeypox outbreak

7/6/2022

0 Comments

You might have seen recent news stories of another infection suddenly appearing, this time being monkeypox. Geez, we've only had a few weeks of flu propaganda after 2 solid years of coronavirus BS, and now monkeypox wants its share of the headlines!

But judging by the many memes that are circulating on social media already in just a few days, and comments on news and government posts on the topic, no-one is buying into the BS.

I did post about smallpox/monkeypox in 2021 when there were more than a few "coincidences" that ocurred around that time, or in recent times on this topic, including:

1. In an interview in November 2021, Bill Gates warns of a smallpox terror attack, and recommends governments put billions of dollars into funding prevention (Independent, 2021)
2. 1 week after Bill mentioned smallpox in an interview, there were news reports of 15 vials of smallpox found in a freezer in a pharmaceutical company (Merck) freezer and the FBI and CDC were called to investigate (Yahoo News, 2021)
3. Or a group of Canadian scientists in 2017 who RECREATED a horse pox virus, similar to smallpox, which was previously extinct (Centre for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, 2017). Pretty much for laughs... They said "This shouldn't surprise anyone. This is just molecular biology, and we've had the ability to do this for ages"
4. The CDC announced a monkeypox infection found in the US in November 2021
5. US Government buys 1.7 million doses of smallpox vax in 2021. And the Canadian military bought $2.3 million of smallpox doses, and Public Health Canada another $12.8 million
6. In 2015-2017, SIGA Technologies trialled their new TPOXX smallpox vaccine in Africa and USA
7. The FDA approved the new TPOXX vax for smallpox in July 2018! (FDA, 2018)
8. The FDA approved a new and fast-tracked medication for smallpox in July 2021! (FDA, 2021).

Why all this fuss, research and many millions or more in funding, all for an infection which was allegedly announced as eradicated in 1970 by the WHO?! Are they expecting this infection, or a variation of it, to be coming back again, or a new pandemic?

As per the current pandemic, something truly stinks in these new developments in the last few days of moneypox, erm, sorry that was a typo...

Be sceptical, aware, and informed. Be healthy!

How monkeypox started - another coincidence?

7/6/2022

0 Comments

On October 19th 2019, just a few weeks before the coronavirus outbreak started at the end of 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, along with the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, organized “Event 201,” a “high-level pandemic exercise” to simulate a global pandemic of a coronavirus infection (Centre for Health Security, 2019).

A coincidence? I highly doubt it.

In March 2021, the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), in conjunction with the Munich Security Conference, held a pandemic simulation involving of a deadly, global pandemic involving an unusual strain of monkeypox virus that first emerged in the fictional nation of Brinia and spread globally over 18 months (NTI, 2021).

The NTI's monkeypox simulation was caused by a terrorist attack using a genetically-modified pathogen engineered in a laboratory with inadequate biosafety and biosecurity provisions and weak oversight. By the end of the exercise, the fictional pandemic resulted in more than three billion cases and 270 million fatalities worldwide. Participants to this simulation included representatives from pharmaceutical companies, the WHO, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation...

Another coincidence?

What are the odds of the same people being involved in 2 pandemic simulations shortly before they eventuate?

How about this then - the initial deliberate terrorist attack in the monkeypox simulation occurred on May 15th, 2022. The first or index case, as confirmed by the WHO was found in the UK on 5th May 2022 (WHO, 2022).

The timing of this new infection is also interesting, right at the time that the WHO is currently in the middle of their World Health Assembly conference to discuss a Global Pandemic Treaty with all "member states" (Forbes, 2022), meaning that in the event of a new pandemic, the WHO will direct and control all the actions for all countries in a non-democratic, dictatorial manner, and you will likely have no say or choice in anything. More on this in a new article soon.

Do you believe in coincidences?

Be suspicious. Be informed. Be healthy.

This is not a real pandemic (Part 2)

27/2/2021

1 Comment

I wrote my list of "This isn't a real pandemic" observations of events some months ago, which can be found here: http://www.rosswalter.com.au/articles/this-is-not-a-real-pandemic. A lot has changed since then but some things are still the same, that this still isn't a real pandemic. Because:

A real pandemic doesn't need social media platforms to censor posts that are repeating official news sources, or published research studies or statistical analyses that question the official narrative (ABC News, 2021)
A real pandemic doesn't require Police to visit the homes of people who question the official narrative on social media to silence them
A real pandemic doesn't need to give lessons in schools to brainwash children into not believing any anti-government information such as anti-vax beliefs (Ilford Recorder News, 2021)
A real pandemic doesn't need a marketing plan and advertising blitzes (also known as propaganda) to encourage people to get the vaccine, such as Australia's $24 million media campaign (Sydney Morning Herald, 2021a)
A real pandemic doesn't need to give medical clinics and doctors financial incentives to encourage their patients (with coercion, which is illegal) to get vaccinated, with Australia's doctors set to make up to $49.50 per person (plus $10 per person to the medical clinic) for a total of $ 1,528,006,886 (over $1.5 BILLION) to vaccinate every Australian (Australian Government, 2021)
A real pandemic doesn't need to offer financial incentives to encourage the general public (aka, "bribes") to get the vaccine
A real pandemic doesn't need to pay celebrities to appeal to people in marketing campaigns to get the vaccine
A real pandemic doesn't have nurses, doctors, celebrities or politicians needing to fake getting the vaccine live on TV, to encourage people to think it's safe and to get it too (yes we saw the needle was empty, or the plunger not pushed in, or the needle cap was on...)
A real pandemic doesn't cover up the death of a nurse who got the vaccine live on TV then collapsed shortly afterwards when interviewed, because you weren't supposed to see that happen and they still want you to get the vaccine
A real pandemic doesn't need to call sudden lockdowns and restrictions based on ONE random case after weeks or months without any cases or deaths
A real pandemic doesn't need to mandate wearing of masks suddenly across a state or nation, again when one case is identified after weeks or longer without incidences, especially when wearing of masks was actively discouraged at the height of incidences and deaths in the early months of the pandemic
A real pandemic doesn't need restrictions being placed on everyone, to protect the 0.1% who are at risk - being elderly people with more than one health chronic health condition
A real pandemic doesn't allow tens of thousands of people to congregate at large scheduled sporting matches (football, cricket, tennis etc) but not allow more than a few people at your home or in a shop at the same time
A real pandemic doesn't need you to scan a QR code and enter your real or fake contact details so your movements can be traced, in order to enter shops, buy food, or use services
A real pandemic doesn't require a "vaccine passport" to prove you had the vaccine, in order to travel, attend school, attend work, use government services, eat at a cafe or get money from your own account at a bank...
A real pandemic doesn't need governments to indemnify pharmaceutical companies from legal liability and lawsuits, from adverse reactions or deaths that the vaccines are known to cause (Sydney Morning Herald, 2021b)
A real pandemic doesn't need insurance companies to indemnify doctors and other health professionals from legal liability and lawsuits from adverse reactions or deaths that the vaccines can cause
A real pandemic doesn't need deliberate fear-mongering by politicians or the media, for a virus with more than a 99% survival rate (remember the early videos in China of people just collapsing in the street and dying?! That only happened there, as the start of the fear campaign)
A real pandemic would have governments and health officials telling people the truth and giving more practical advice to prevent and treat the infection by improve the immune systems of everyone, which can be done naturally, easily, and cheaply. Improving the strength and function of your immune system is the major factor which will protect you from this virus..

Hence this still isn't a real pandemic. It is a PLANdemic.
Be informed. Be empowered. Question everything. And stay healthy!

This is not a real pandemic...

25/7/2020

This is not a real pandemic.

A real pandemic doesn't need:

Faulty virus models that showed huge incidence rates and death rates, which didn't eventuate or come anywhere near close to those predictions from so-called experts
Pathetic advice to "wash your hands" and "stay at home", but not give any proven advice to improve your immune system function with good nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle improvements
Government authorities banning recommendations of proven advice by health professionals for improving your immune system
A world pandemic spokesman who is an IT nerd pretending to be a doctor, giving all sorts of health and medical guidance and recommendations to governments, the UN and WHO, while at the same time being the highest contributor for funds to the WHO, while also funding EVERY aspect of this pandemic, for his own financial benefit
A man-made GMO virus, created in a lab in Wuhan China, and funded for by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a US government agency
A useless WHO, who sat back for over 2 months or more as the epidemic initially spread through China, and who actually believed the Chinese communist government when they said that there was either "no problem" with people falling sick, or it was "all under control", when it wasn't. This allowed many people to move around or leave China to spread the infection worldwide
Rigged incidence rates from faulty PCR test results showing 80% false positive results in people with no symptoms
Inaccurate and scaremongering news reporting from all major media sources, based on those faulty incidence rates
Staged hospital scenes of overflowing hospital wards, when in reality doctors and nurses are being told to take extra holidays and take leave because the wards are almost empty of patients
Manipulated death certificates, from dodgy WHO guidelines to classify deaths from coronavirus based on assumptions or symptoms, without any testing, from non-health professionals (mortuary staff), or without autopsies to confirm the true cause of death
To bribe asymptomatic people with money to get tested for coronavirus, to increase the incidence rates when those rates and deaths had dropped to almost nothing
To recommend not wearing a mask for 5 months of the pandemic, then turn this completely around and mandate wearing of masks when incidences and deaths are at their lowest levels
To cause unemployment of millions of people in businesses, from the forced closure and shutdowns, but not reduce the government workforce
Restrictions to basic human rights, and the implementation of new guidelines and recommendations, which aren't LAW but give the impression that they are, and using police and armed forces to implement these new guidelines or face fines or imprisonment
Forced testing, or the need to bribe people to get a test in asymptomatic people (ie, that you DON'T have symptoms)
To mandate vaccination against the flu for work purposes (in childcare, nursing, healthcare, and aged care) or to visit your isolated loved ones in aged care, when a flu vaccination won't protect against the coronavirus, but actually makes you more susceptible to other respiratory infections such as coronavirus
Dobbing in your neighbour or anyone else, if they aren't complying with government recommendations (ie, that are NOT actually laws)
You to be living in fear of possible viral contamination
Closed businesses and services, and a wrecked economy
Recommend everyone stay home, except teachers and children who still have to go to school and sit in a classroom that's not possible to social distance from everyone, and not wear a mask (up until recently), because schooling is more important than possibly catching a deadly infection that will affect everyone else
To silence people on social media platforms, who have valid reasons to criticise the often idiotic decisions made by governments, businesses, and "health" authorities
People being arrested if they don't comply with a "stay at home" order, but then authorities are letting convicted criminals out of prison (in the USA) so they don't get coronavirus. (Why not just give them a mask, if masks are so effective?!)
You to install an app on your phone which doesn't work, to allegedly try and trace people who may have been within a short distance of you who may test positive at a later time, when not having a compatible phone or operating system makes it impossible to install, or not turning on Bluetooth, or not starting the app, or not updating the app when you test positive, or not having the IT infrastructure (in government) to actually analyse the data, or that someone needs to be within spitting/coughing/sneezing distance of you for more than 15 minutes in order to record their details, or it won't work!
You to know that it has only caused all this disruption to lives, businesses, the economy, when it has only caused deaths in 0.0004% of the population
To have a natural survival rate of 99.9%, when we are told that "there is no cure", or "that we do not have any immunity to", or when there is no vaccine to save you.

This isn't a real pandemic. It's a PLANdemic.

Be informed. Be empowered. And stay healthy!

A brief history of the COVID-19 saga, what might be yet to come, and recommendations to prevent this happening again

3/6/2020

0 Comments

Just in case you arrived on earth from a distant planet in the last few weeks, you might notice that things are have been a little weird, crazy, or absolutely dumbfoundingly stupid of late. We have had a little issue with a little bug called the "coronavirus", or "SARS-CoV-2" (aka "SARS version 2") which causes an infection called "COVID-19" which you are statistically unlikely to get, suffer from (directly at least), or die from. Yet the entire planet is suffering from a "we're all gonna die" media campaign.

Here is a summary of observations and learnings from the coronavirus pandemic thus far:

The virus is man-made, as shown from multiple studies of the genetic code of the virus
Studies have not found an animal host source of the virus, and other studies have found no close relative to the coronavirus, based on genetic analysis and comparison to similar strains
Scientists in various biowarfare labs around the world (China, USA, UK, Australia and perhaps more countries) are complicit in the development of the genetically-modified man-made coronavirus at the centre of this pandemic, through years of repeated genetic manipulation of other coronavirus types to increase their ability to infect human cells. The main lab responsible for much of the genetic modification of the coronavirus, based on their published studies of their work, was based in Wuhan, China
The initial statistics of incidences and mortality rates from the country of origin, China, cannot and should not have been believed, being a communist country with a secretive government with a history of suppressing the media and inaccurate information being told
The PCR testing of the coronavirus, used to determine incidences of infection, is inaccurate
Statistics of coronavirus incidences therefore are inaccurate and should be ignored
The WHO have directed countries (and their medical systems) to classify deaths (by "falsifying" death records) as being from COVID-19 based on an inaccurate test, and/or assumptions of infection without testing, or deaths from chronic diseases, suicides, shootings, flu and pneumonia and other respiratory conditions, and other deaths as being from the virus
Statistics of coronavirus mortality rates therefore are inaccurate and should be ignored
The media are experts in manipulating the inaccurate statistics to create an environment of fear throughout the world during this alleged pandemic
The fear from the media has caused major divisions in families, workplaces, friends and communities, between those who believe the media scare campaigns and those who have done their own research or who have personal experience, or who are "free thinkers"
Governments and authorities have recommended people to "report" those who do not appear to be believing or following the recommended guidelines, thus further dividing communities in a time they keep broadcasting "we are all in this together"
Governments and their health authorities and even the WHO have not recommended simple, cheap, effective and proven ways to prevent or treat people from the coronavirus. They have deliberately withheld information, lied about effectiveness (or non-effectiveness) of preventative strategies and treatments, and instead promoting hygiene and isolation until medications or a vaccine are available (for which there are still none available)
Governments and their health authorities and even the WHO, have ignored the many natural preventions and treatments that have past evidence of effectiveness against other viruses, thus contributing to more infections and deaths
There is plenty of quality published evidence of the effectiveness of natural therapies such as therapeutic doses of vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, selenium, to support or improve one's immune system function against any infections, as well as lifestyle improvements of regular exercise, reducing stress, improving sleep, and eating a nutritious diet and low processed food to reduce blood sugar levels. However this advice and recommendations have not been suggested by the WHO or government health authorities - why?
The WHO, governments and health regulators, such as Australia's TGA, have effectively banned and gagged all health practitioners (both medical and complementary/alternative) from making any recommendations to prevent or treat the coronavirus, and have actively prosecuted companies and individuals who have spoken out against the government or defied these regulatory guidelines
It is well known in many published studies of the seasonal nature of respiratory infections around the world, for the common cold, flu, pneumonia, and even asthma. Such respiratory infections occur at much higher rates in the colder months of the year, in this case the northern hemisphere countries being far more affected being their winter and autumn during the early months of the pandemic
The seasonal effect of all respiratory infections occurs when the sun is further away from one hemisphere of the earth, which receives less solar radiation, resulting in low sun exposure and low vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is a potent anti-inflammatory compound, and immune system strengthening hormone. A vitamin D deficiency is a key causative factor in respiratory infections as shown in many published studies. Yet the government health authorities have not mentioned preventative advice to get safe sun exposure or vitamin D supplementation to reduce incidences or mortality rates
The media and government health authorities have focussed on the virus itself - to try and avoid the virus through unproven mass isolations, lockdowns and shutdowns, and hygiene practices, still being based on old 1800s "germ theory" practices that an exposure to a germ will mean an infection with the virus
The "germ theory" of old has been disproved, as not everyone who is exposed to an infective pathogen will actually "catch" the infection or show symptoms. Whether someone exposed to a virus will develop symptoms, and how quickly (or not) they get over the infection is due to the effectiveness and strength of their immune system, NOT the effectiveness and strength of the virus
Humans cannot avoid a virus or other pathogens, but we can improve our immune system effectiveness and strength to find and deal with infections such as the coronavirus
Some countries such as Sweden, Taiwan, Japan and others did not implement nationwide lockdowns, business shutdowns or "preventative" isolations for their populations. They did, however, recommend voluntary isolation of those at risk, with chronic health conditions, respiratory and cardiac conditions or the aged. The rest of the population could carry on as usual. If they were exposed to or become infected with the coronavirus, they would then develop a personal immunity and community herd immunity to the virus into the future
Herd immunity is a theory that if a certain percentage of a population are immune from an infection, they can "protect" or reduce incidences amongst those who are not immune, and the infection can die out in time. However herd immunity is only possible through a reasonable percentage of the population actually contracting the infection and developing antibodies to it. Antibodies produced from a natural infection last a lifetime. Unlike from vaccines which simulate a forced infection - antibodies may not be produced at all, hence why multiple boosters are required, or if they are produced, only last a few months to a few years at most. Hence herd immunity cannot occur even in 100% vaccinated populations. Mandating a flu vaccine or coronavirus vaccine (if it can ever be produced) will not allow a herd immunity to occur
The WHO is open to corruption through large private donations of alleged philanthropy, but in reality being for influence of the world's health organisation. The Gates Foundation are the second largest donor to the WHO, behind the USA, which suggests a huge conflict of interest especially given the foundation's many other investments in this pandemic. Such influence over the WHO must stop
The Gates Foundation are major investors in every part of this pandemic - from funding biowarfare labs who perform genetic modification of coronaviruses, to funding many pharmaceutical companies to develop untested fast-tracked vaccines or medications, to funding the reuse of existing medications that have no proven evidence of effectiveness against this virus, to developing virus test kits, to pretending to being an alleged health advocate or expert on this virus pandemic, to funding a company developing RFID tracking chips being injected at the same time of the vaccine, funding a worldwide technology platform to track people using their implanted ID chips in real time, and many other conflicts of interest with other companies
The UN have aligned with a UK cyber security firm to produce an electronic COVID-19 identification and health status passport called COVI-PASS. Plans have been made to record the coronavirus pathology testing results, virus immunity status, and vaccination status, and more, to be recorded and needing to be held by every person. Intentions are for this system to be used for other tracking and identification purposes for travel, workplaces, and many other locations, and potential restrictions imposed on those who do not meet certain eligibility criteria
Deeper investigations of mortality rates and published studies suggest a mortality rate from COVID-19 at just 0.1%, being on par with a severe seasonal influenza (Fauci, 2020)
With such a small mortality rate, based on corrected and proven statistics resulting in a survival rate of 99.9%, the massive worldwide disruptions were completely unnecessary
A mandated worldwide vaccine, as frequently being promoted by Bill Gates and many governments, based on these corrected mortality rates, is completely unnecessary given a 99.9% survival rate in those who have the coronavirus infection
The worldwide shutdowns, lockdowns, isolations, and their resulting effects on families, businesses, companies, stock markets, investments, and the economy, were completely unnecessary
Educated and expert scientists and medical/health commentators on social media platforms have provided a more balanced and even more accurate source of information during the pandemic, and those working in hospitals giving their first-hand personal and proven accounts of their experiences which are the opposite of the government information being given
Social media platforms have increased censorship of many aspects of the pandemic, to suppress sharing of information and even deleting entire accounts from knowledgeable experts, scientists, doctors, virologists, and more, because their expert scientific opinion differs from the approved government narrative or the opinion of the platform owners and their advisors. Luckily Trump has very recently banned social media platforms from censoring personal opinions and even expert advice that didn't fit the beliefs of the platform owners - freedom of speech is to reign again!

Recommendations that are needed in the aftermath of this plandemic:

There needs to be an independent investigation of the recommendations by the WHO to all governments on how to classify COVID-19 deaths, and investigations into every classified death and adjustments to statistics made accordingly to make them accurate
Investigations by the media authorities in all countries, to improve the accuracy of news information, as much of it has been a fear-based scare campaign, highlighted by opinionated and biased TV hosts who do not have a clue of what is really going on in this plandemic
The genetic modification of dangerous pathogens, to increase their ability to infect human cells, or any other "gain of function" testing or manipulation MUST be banned worldwide from now and forever
The WHO need to be completely disbanded and a new and independent government-only funded health organisation created, for the benefit of every person. There should be no corporate or private sponsorships or funding allowed, no conflicts of interest allowed, and equal opportunities being given for proven natural therapies to be recommended for prevention and treatment options, along with safe and effective medical treatments as needed
Many more people of the world have awoken to the massive manipulation of them during this plandemic. People are now aware of the corruption and conflicts of interest in the WHO, state and federal governments, and the media, to lie, to cause fear, to divide communities, and implement new laws to restrict movements, interactions, and lifestyle choices. Any further restrictions or mandates related to this plandemic, because of the abovementioned manipulations of incidence and death rates, corruption and conflicts of interest, are unnecessary and will not be tolerated by the people.

Keep aware. Keep disbelieving. Keep researching. Keep informed. And keep healthy.

Proof that the coronavirus is a man-made, genetically-modified virus, and not the result of a natural mutation

16/5/2020

0 Comments

In the very early days of the coronavirus making the news (late January 2020), a study was pre-published (awaiting official publishing and peer-review) which suggested that the coronavirus may be man-made (Pradhan et al. 2020). The authors of the study performed an analysis of the genome of the virus, and found it was mostly based on the 2002 SARS virus, but also allegedly found to have 4x insertions of the HIV virus in its genetic code. Such genetic differences could not have happened naturally. This caused a major stir at the time, and the scientists were criticised as perhaps mocking the seriousness of the new epidemic (as a pandemic hadn't been announced at that time), and the authors of the study withdrew it from publishing due to pressure from the scientific community. The authors intended to revise the study and perhaps republish it.

Many rumours and debates have persisted as to the origins of the virus - did it come from bats or another animal, how did it cross over into humans, and was this a natural process or man-made?

A few months have passed and more studies have been published on many aspects of the coronavirus. The official line from the WHO and our governments is that the coronavirus was a natural development or mutation, from a still-unknown animal source, and some studies have published these findings.

But governments and their agencies lie. They all do. All the time.

I've not believed a lot of the scary information in the media since day 1 of this infection. I've looked into the statistics of it and why they do not make any sense and cannot be believed. The testing of the virus is questionable and inaccurate, and the classification of deaths is a rort - a process recommended by the WHO to falsely inflate death rates, which has so many people unnecessarily scared of this virus, leading to politicians making disruptive and damaging policy changes which have affected us all. For what intents and purposes we still do not fully understand, but a lot of things in this pandemic stink of untruths. Especially on the issue of whether the virus is man-made or not.

A pivotal new study was published in the prestigious Nature Medicine journal (Andersen et al., 2020). The authors investigated the genetic code of a key part of the coronavirus and compared this to other known coronaviruses, to come to a conclusion that the new coronavirus was a natural mutation from one of several possible animal sources, of which still has not been identified. Their conclusion was pretty definitive. Except their conclusion and theories were not supported by their own results, but it helped negate many "conspiracy-theory" social media posts and instead supported the narrative of the media and governments and their health departments.

The figure (shown above) from the Andersen study clearly shows the genetic code differences between the different animal coronavirus types and the 2002 SARS coronavirus too. The marked and different coloured areas show the genetic differences. A major problem with the scientists' conclusions is the INSERTION of a 12-nucleotide section in the "Human-SARS-CoV-2" coronavirus sequence (notes with a star in the figure) which is COMPLETELY MISSING from every other coronavirus type known. Such a large genetic difference cannot happen randomly or naturally. It's not even in the alleged bat coronavirus as the source of this pandemic. The coronavirus didn't come from bats. Such an insertion can only come from a lab.

The scientists claim the impact of this inserted sequence is unknown but that it appears to enhance infection in human cells. But they still claim that the virus is of natural origin!

The details of one study is not be enough proof to make an assertion that the coronavirus is man-made...

In a another recent pre-published study (Wu et al., 2020), the scientists compared the genetic code of the new coronavirus with the earlier SARS and MERS pandemic viruses, and a bat coronavirus too. They also looked at the equivalent of the genetic family tree of the coronavirus, with respect to a major component of the virus - its spike protein that is used to attach to and infect a cell. It was found that the coronavirus was closest to the 2002 SARS virus and the bat coronavirus, with some major differences. Some minor mutations were found to exist between the current coronavirus and SARS coronavirus, and the virus binds more strongly to ACE-2 receptors (and other receptors) on human cells than SARS, hence why it can infect more people. See the phylogenic tree diagram above.

The phylogenic tree diagram (a genetic evolutionary family tree) for the coronaviruses starts in the 12 o'clock position and is progresses clockwise to newer generations of coronaviruses. Notice that the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is more recent. Early coronaviruses are highlighted in pink, as containing a particular location or sequence, called a "furin cleavage site", in its spike protein. The furin cleavage site disappeared several generations ago in the coronavirus family tree, but somehow magically reappears again in this new coronavirus genetic code. The ACE-2 and furin binding sites on cells throughout the body (not just in the lungs) increases the infection of this virus throughout the body to affect more organs as has been seen. This study also noted the addition of the same 12-nucleotide section of genetic code noted in the previous study that was missing from other coronavirus strains. This insertion is thought to be a reason why this virus is stronger than SARS. The study also found and recommended many medications, nutrients and herbals which would be effective against the furin site of the virus - including 4 HIV medications which is significant given the earlier finding of the alleged HIV insertions in the coronavirus genetic code. The WHO have announced trials of HIV drugs to determine their effectiveness against this virus (Kupferschmidt & Cohen, 2020).

The above finding of the coronavirus specifically using the ACE-2 receptors on cell walls to infect cells is very important. Several studies have been published in recent years by scientists performing genetic modification on the SARS coronavirus and others, and even creating a chimera virus - containing genes from multiple viruses, even from different animals. In one such study by Menachery et al. (2015), genes from a bat coronavirus spike protein were added to a mouse coronavirus genome and tested for its ability to infect human airway cells through their ACE-2 receptors. The man-made virus was tested in mice AND HUMANS with significant infections occurring. The study concluded that there was "a significant risk of a SARS coronavirus re-emergence". The fact that scientists are deliberately manipulating (ie, "playing with") the genetics of deadly viruses, and testing them for their ability to cause human disease, is a major concern.

This study included a Chinese Virologist, Shi Zhengli (or Zheng-Li Shi), who just happens to be the team leader of the researchers in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a BSL-4 biowarfare lab where this study was conducted, just a few miles from the alleged epicentre of the pandemic in the Wuhan seafood market... And the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a US government agency.

The Chinese virologist and world expert on bat coronaviruses, Shi Zhengli, has been a part of several other published studies on coronavirus research. In another study published in 2008, Shi Zhengli and colleagues created new chimera coronavirus by "inserting different genetic sequences of the SARS coronavirus into different animal coronaviruses", to investigate how well the man-made virus could infect the ACE-2 receptors of human and animal cells (Ren et al., 2008). They found that the chimeric virus initially didn't infect human cells, so the scientists then combined a human HIV virus with it, which then DID enable it to infect human cells. Their work was to deliberately get the genetically modified virus to infect human cells. The authors wrote that this was the first time that a virus was proven to cross over from animals into humans - but was only done through deliberate genetic modification in a lab (in Wuhan).

The above studies compared a bat coronavirus to the new virus, and found a high genetic similarity of up to 96% (Xiao and Xiao, 2020), but more importantly are the differences. The bat coronavirus lacks the furin binding site, and lacks the huge gene insertion that is responsible for its infective ability in humans. According to testimonies by local Wuhan residents and those who frequented the seafood market, the bats which were found to host the bat coronavirus lived 900 kilometres away in caves, and bat was NOT traded or ever a food source in the Wuhan market (Xiao and Xiao, 2020).

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have an online tool called BLAST (NIH, 2020) for logging, comparing and researching the genetic code of organisms. After my earlier research articles on the coronavirus topic when I questioned the government and media narrative, a follower sent me details on how to use the BLAST tool to check on the genetic code of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus for similarities with the genetic code of other viruses. Using the BLAST tool, it reported 4 similar gene sequences in the coronavirus that matched other viruses - or more accurately, 4 matching gene sequences from 1 other virus. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV type 1.

See the BLAST results in the figure above.

Two of the 4 HIV sequences in the SARS-CoV-2 virus code matched 100%, one matched at 94%, and another at 79%, still being very significant. See screenshot for results. This finding does seem to confirm the finding in the original study by Pradhan and colleagues (2020), and confirm the study by Ren, Shi Zhengli and colleagues that they inserted HIV genes into a genetically-modified SARS virus to increase its ability to infect human cells. Somehow, somewhere and by someone, accidently or deliberately we cannot determine at this time, this genetically-modified lab-made chimeric virus escaped into the wild to infect humans. It is almost beyond any possibility that the current coronavirus was a natural mutation and animal crossover event.

Is there evidence of knowledge and technology for scientists to CREATE a virus - YES.

Is there evidence of the SARS and other animal coronaviruses being genetically modified - YES.

Is there evidence of deliberate experimentation of coronaviruses to increase their ability to infect human cells - YES.

Is there evidence of the HIV virus being used in coronavirus experiments and being found in people infected with coronavirus - YES.

Is there evidence that the coronavirus was the result of a natural mutation and crossover into humans - based on these studies and evidence, it is highly unlikely at best. I'd say NO.

Based on the evidence here, this would lead to an uncomfortable conclusion that the coronavirus is not a natural mutation of any known coronavirus strain, but in fact a man-made strain. And if it is indeed man-made, as it appears, then more uncomfortable questions need to be asked - was it released accidentally or deliberately, by whom, and for what purposes?

There have been a lot of theories labelled as "conspiracies" in this pandemic. As more evidence is found, more of those conspiracies are becoming fact.
If the virus is man-made, then anything which comes afterwards, in the form of new laws, restrictions, recommendations and mandates, must seriously be questioned and stopped.

An independent worldwide and open investigation MUST be conducted NOW to find out who is responsible for this pandemic - how the man-made coronavirus escaped from a lab, why, and for what or whose benefit. This cannot be conducted by the WHO, UN, CDC, FDA or other government or world health agencies as they are already suspiciously involved in this pandemic or involved in the suppression of scientific studies or educated voices who have questioned their actions (or lack thereof) in recent times.
Also, the genetic modification of all infective viruses and bacteria MUST STOP NOW. These dangerous practices cannot be allowed to happen again.

Open letter to health officials Re: Coronavirus prevention

4/5/2020

1 Comment

Open letter to all Australian Health Ministers, Health Departments, Doctors, Politicians and Health Regulators, re: coronavirus prevention and containment

I am a Clinical Nutritionist and Naturopath, based in Brisbane and with many years of experience in treating acute and chronic health conditions. I am an evidence-based practitioner, using only proven therapies and treatments for my clients. I specialise in inflammatory and immune system related conditions.

Regarding the current coronavirus infection spreading around the world and Australia (confirmed as a Pandemic by the World Health Organisation), I have been following the statistics and government advice, and I would like to share my thoughts, based on evidence and clinical experience.

Regardless of how the coronavirus came to be, the following facts are relevant:

SARS-CoV-2 is the official virus name, and the infection itself is COVID-19, as designated by the WHO, herein referred to as “coronavirus”
The coronavirus causes a respiratory infection, allegedly transmitted via aerosol droplets, mucus secretions and infected fomites (objects touched by those infected with this virus)
The TGA have recently published announcements to all health practitioners to not recommend any treatments or products that claim to prevent or treat this coronavirus, unless there is proven evidence of their effectiveness against this specific virus
With this virus being so new, there was NO evidence of anything, pharmaceutical or natural as being proven effective at the time of the TGA announcement
The virus appears to survive much longer than other viruses out of the body on surfaces
Improved hygiene practices such as washing of hands, coughing into the crook of one’s elbow, and self-isolation have been proven in the past to be effective in reducing the risks of other respiratory infections
There are no published studies showing the effectiveness of handwashing or improved hygiene against this specific coronavirus. I’m not saying that this should not be done, as past published evidence and anecdotal evidence (from observations, not clinical studies) shows handwashing can reduce transmission risks
But the TGA and health departments have only been recommending handwashing, sanitising, social distancing (a totally new concept), and other hygiene practices as preventions or to reduce the risks of this coronavirus, despite a lack of evidence
There are many other preventative and treatment strategies and products which have similarly been proven to be effective in the past against all other known coronaviruses (which cause the common cold infections, and previous pandemic viruses of SARS and MERS), but according to the new TGA guidelines, these preventions or treatments cannot be recommended by any health practitioners because there is “no current evidence”. All health practitioners in Australia are effectively "gagged" and cannot make any recommendations to prevent infections or save the lives of our fellow Australians.

I will summarise some statistics of the pandemic, and bring to light some new and missing evidence, and proven recommendations for further reducing the risks of this new virus. Or you can jump to the Conclusions for a brief summary!

Statistics

Some statistics on the current coronavirus infection include (as at 28th March 2020):
Country   Coronavirus Mortality Rate

Australia 0.39%
USA 3.0%
China   3.9%
Italy   10.10%

Conclusion: the Italian Government, like Australia, is classifying deaths by many causes as from COVID-19 (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020b). Italy also has demographic, cultural and other factors contributing to a higher incidence and mortality rate (Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, 2020). There is a significant difference in mortality rates in different countries, or more accurately, by location.
There are many other major causes of daily deaths in the world, compared to the coronavirus:
Reason Daily Deaths

Hunger 2,500 (UN, Food and Agriculture Organization)
Malaria 2,739 (UNICEF)
AIDS   2,100 (HIV.gov)
Influenza 795 - 1,781 (CDC/WHO)
Coronavirus/COVID-19 270 (as at 11/3/2020), now approx 2000

Total deaths per day 144,000 (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, 2010)

Conclusion: we cannot believe the "official" death rates, when the Australian government and health departments from WHO recommendations, classifies any death as a "COVID-19" death even if someone were to die from a chronic health condition (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020b).

These are additional statistics I have analysed (as at 28th March 2020):
Number coronavirus incidences by location/hemisphere
Coronavirus Northern Southern Equatorial
incidences Hemisphere Hemisphere Region

No. countries affected 133   48 16
Incidences confirmed   96.8% 1.4% 1.8%
Deaths confirmed 98.8% 0.22% 1.0%

Conclusion: There is a significant difference between the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths between those who live in the northern hemisphere vs southern.

Or a different analysis of the Australian mortality rate (as at 30th March 2020) (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020):
Australian Population 25,464,116
Coronavirus incidences   4,460
Coronavirus deaths 19
Coronavirus incidences (% population)   0.000175%
Coronavirus deaths (% population) 0.000000746%

Conclusion: Is this really worth shutting the country down for?

What is significant about the northern hemisphere as a factor of the coronavirus?
It is typical to see many more respiratory infections in winter than summer. Transmission rates and incidences of the common cold, influenza and pneumonia are greatly increased in the cooler months. The infection started in China, in their winter, and spread much more quickly through northern hemisphere countries in their cooler months of winter and early spring. There are several reasons for this difference in seasonal activity in respiratory infections:

Humidity and temperature – the warmer months are generally more humid, especially in more tropical areas. Humidity appears to slow rates of infection transmission by causing infected droplets from coughing or sneezing to fall to the ground instead of floating more in the air and being transmitted to infect people nearby. In the MERS coronavirus outbreak, studies showed a higher temperature and humidity resulted in significantly less lower respiratory tract infections of 45% (Fagbo et al., 2017)
Latitude – Where one lives on the planet, especially their latitude or distance from the equator, determines their Ultra-Violet (UV) light exposure in a given period. People in cities closer to the equator are exposed to more UV-B light on their skin. Direct UV-B radiation on exposed skin is needed to make vitamin D. People living much further away from the equator need more time in direct sunlight to make the same amount of vitamin D (Leary et l. 2017; van der Mei, 2007; Tamerius et al., 2011)
Vitamin D deficiency – vitamin D acts as an anti-inflammatory hormone in the body, and regulates the expression of many genes to have a major systemic benefit to one’s health. Vitamin D isn’t just needed for bone health, but assists the immune system, reduces the rates of viral respiratory infections and influenza, reduces lung conditions like asthma, and can even reduce the risks of many cancers (Hossein-Nezhad & Holick, 2014; Martineau et al., 2017). Vitamin D can also offer antiviral and antibacterial actions as well as stimulating the innate immune system (which identifies and deals with unknown or new infections) (Martineau et al., 2017). Vitamin D deficiency can occur in any season, even in sunny Queensland in summer! (Leary et l. 2017). Vitamin D deficiency, especially in winter, can be a major cause of respiratory infections (Fagbo et al., 2017) and in this study, a vitamin D deficiency amongst a large percentage of the population (which occurs in winter) is the cause of influenza respiratory infection epidemics (Cannell et al., 2008).

There are other factors for the seasonal causes of influenza infections, including temperature, other concomitant infections, other nutrient deficiencies (selenium, vitamin E) (Tamerius et al., 2011), and more. There are other environmental and cultural factors which contribute to the differences in mortality rates between many countries, such as smoking status, air pollution, sleep quality and quantity and others.

The fact that Australia is now entering the cooler months highlights the importance of reducing the risks of respiratory infections using vitamin D supplementation interventions.

Virus Transmission and Severity, and the Germ Theory
The transmission of a virus, its severity, and the rate of incidences and mortality depend entirely on the strength and function of each individual person's immune system. This is confirmed with the majority of people with the coronavirus having very mild symptoms. It is only when someone is immune compromised or with a chronic health condition which has reduced their immune system function, that the infection to take hold in their body more quickly and severely. Having a compromised or immune system, perhaps together with ineffectual medical treatments (or no treatments) any virus is going to cause more severe complications like pneumonia.

The transmission, severity, incidences and mortality are not dependent on the coronavirus at all. This is old 1800s germ theory "science". Yet the health officials and media are blaming the virus and trying to stop the virus itself, which is futile and prolongs the pandemic. Washing hands, regular hygiene and isolation are not enough! In conjunction with improved hygiene, prevention and treatments should also focus on the individual, by supporting one's immune system to protect them for prevention, or to fight off the infection better.

The old Germ Theory promoted by Koch and Pasteur no longer applies as not everyone who is exposed to a virus actually develops symptoms or has the infection. This breaks Koch's famous postulates of the germ theory (MedicineNet, 2019), which states that a pathogen must cause the disease in EVERY case of exposure, which doesn't happen. Some more recent experiments have been conducted and results published, after deliberately infecting individuals with a flu virus - even with a strain that was similar to the one which allegedly caused huge mortality rates in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. In this study, researchers found less than 40% of those who inhaled the virus actually developed symptoms! And of those who did develop symptoms, they were very mild to mild, and none had any serious symptoms at all (Cannell et al., 2008).

Evidence-based preventative (and treatment) strategies which should be recommended:

Vitamin D - Vitamin D supplementation can reduce risk of infections by reducing inflammation, reducing viral replication rates, reducing age-related morbidity, Vitamin D supplementation during winter has been shown to support immune system function and reduce the incidence of influenza A by approximately one third (Urashima, Segawa, Okazaki, Kurihara, Wada, & Ida, 2010). A very recent study by Grant et al (2020) found evidence that vitamin D supplementation could reduce the risk of influenza and COVID-19 infections and deaths, but required a higher therapeutic dose than the low recommended daily intakes.
Vitamin C – In early studies, a vitamin C deficiency is associated with pneumonia (an often deadly complication of a COVID-19 infection). Vitamin C deficiency is also associated with a reduced immune system function and increases susceptibility to respiratory infections, and vice versa, with infections causing a decrease in vitamin C concentrations (Hemilä, 2017). Several studies are currently underway in China using vitamin C interventions, with results still to be published.
Zinc - is deficient in 49% of adults in the coronavirus risk age group of 51-70 (Boudrealt et al. 2017), and in people who are frequently exposed to stress. Zinc is needed for good immune system support, as well as reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, and improving the immune system response against viruses (Wessels, Maywald, & Rink, 2017). A zinc deficiency is often seen in those with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and contributes to lung injury from the use of a respirator (Boudrealt et al. 2017).
Keeping up good water intake – water is needed to keep mucous membranes moist as they act as a protective barrier against viruses in the respiratory tract (Chen, 2009)
Eating a good variety of quality foods – your food provides nutrients needed for immune systems function. Nutrient deficiencies reduce immune system function and increase susceptibility to infections.
Reducing intake of refined and processed carbohydrate foods - in a recently published study from China, patients with COVID-19 who had poorly managed blood sugar levels and Type 2 Diabetes were at much higher risk of increased incidence, more severe symptoms, and a higher mortality rate. High blood sugar increases inflammation and blood pressure, but reduces immune system function, whereas a well-controlled blood sugar level improved the outcomes of those with COVID-19 and pre-existing diabetes (Zhu et al., 2020). Type 2 Diabetes develops over time from a diet high in carbohydrate-rich foods (>60% of total daily energy from poor food choices), causes insulin resistance, insulin depletion from pancreatic insufficiency, obesity, and cardiovascular and heart disease, being the highest risk factors for incidence and mortality of COVID-19 (Frost, 2003).
Getting sufficient and quality sleep - as sleep is needed to maintain good function of the immune system Studies show reduced sleep reduces immune system function and increases susceptibility to respiratory infections (Prather, Janicki-Deverts, Hall & Cohen, 2015)
Moderate and regular exercise - a moderate exercise program can improve immune system function and reduce the risk of infections, but intensive training seen with athletes can have the opposite effects (Jones & Davison, 2019).

These recommendations and interventions are cheap, very easy to recommend and implement, and will have a very quick response. They can also reduce the strain on the hospital system by reducing infection rates and severity of symptoms, or in the case of those already having severe symptoms in hospital, these interventions can shorten the severity of symptoms and save lives.

I started recommending these preventative treatments back in January when news of the infection emerged. At the time there was no TGA ban on such advice.

The TGA and Expert Recommendations
The scientifically referenced and relevant recommendations in this document have been proven in the past to be safe and effective against many respiratory infections such as influenza and other types of coronavirus. New evidence has been published recently on these preventions and treatments, yet these recommendations are not approved by the TGA, and one must really ask why?

I see the TGA's guidelines of effectively banning all Australian health practitioners (medical and alternative/complementary) from giving any preventative or treatment advice, as being overly cautious. Yes there was little to no evidence for anything (either medical, pharmaceutical or natural) being effective as a preventative or treatment against this particular coronavirus at the time of their guidelines being announced. However, in times of something new like this novel coronavirus, past evidence and anecdotal evidence MUST be seen as the highest form of scientific evidence available. To restrict or ignore past evidence and anecdotal evidence is immoral, and will likely cause many more people to lose their lives in this virus outbreak, as well as prolong the outbreak, disrupt many businesses and perhaps cause the collapse of many companies, threaten the livelihoods of many workers and especially the casual workforce, affect the economy and stock markets, reduce investments, cause further desperation and panic amongst the public, cause social unrest, and more.

There have been a lot of new published studies since the TGA guidelines were announced, giving more clues as to what are some of the causative factors for increased risk of a COVID-19 infection, and for suitable preventions and even treatments. The TGA guidelines now must be updated to reflect this new evidence, and allow health practitioners to give additional preventative strategies and treatment options and further 'flatten the curve" for all Australians.

We have next to nothing to lose by implementing these preventative strategies, but there is so much to lose if we do not.

COVID-19 PCR Testing
The current PCR pathology test for COVID-19 is highly inaccurate. The PCR process was developed to increase the amount of a subset of the genetic code of a virus DNA (Ghannam & Varacallo, 2018). The inventor of the PCR process has publicly said it should not be used for pathology testing, based on studies showing it is inaccurate as PCR testing is not standardised with different labs or countries use different variations of the test (Teo & Shaunak, 1995), is not designed to give a definitive binary result of a "positive" or "negative" confirmation, is affected by contamination that can produce misleading results (Ghannam & Varacallo, 2018), is not consistently reproducible and gives a high percentage of false positive and false negative results that were observed in all laboratories (Defer et al., 1992; Zhuang et al., 2020). Even the World Health Organisation's PCR Working Group demonstrated high levels of false-positive and false-negative results (World Health Organisation, 2011).

In addition, limiting testing of the coronavirus to only people who meet a set criteria is skewing the rates of incidences. Hence the rates of incidences are not accurate and cannot be believed, yet the government and health authorities are making significant changes to laws to restrict rights and freedoms based on inaccurate statistics of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as an inaccurate test used to determine those statistics, and more recently the COVIDSafe app that is also reliant on accurate PCR testing!

We can't actually believe any of the "official" statistics of incidences or mortality rates of this pandemic when:

The PCR test is inaccurate, as explained here, and
The WHO and governments (including Australia) are recommending deaths from chronic health conditions and all respiratory infections (flu or pneumonia), to be caused by COVID-19, whether the patient was tested by a faulty PCR test or just ASSUMED to be having the virus (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020b).

Thus inflating the true incidence rates and the mortality rates, which then gets turned into a fear campaign by the media, and knee-jerk reactions by state and federal governments to implement a raft of laws to restrict our rights and freedoms as well as wrecking the economy and many businesses, all for a generally mild infection for most people.

Instead, consider using faecal testing, as the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been detected in stool samples (Warish et al., 2020).

Flu vaccinations during the coronavirus pandemic
The Federal and state governments of Australia have been adding new laws to mandate flu vaccinations for healthcare workers or for the public to visit relatives in aged care, or even for general work. I believe that this decision is irresponsible, is not based on scientific evidence and can actually increase the risks of someone getting the coronavirus. The flu vaccine does not prevent or reduce the risks of getting the coronavirus infection - it's a different type of virus. Several published studies, however, have found that flu vaccinations can cause a phenomenon called "vaccine-associated virus interference"; that is, recently vaccinated individuals may be at increased risk for other respiratory virus infections, especially coronaviruses (Wolff, 2020). This study, on military personnel found a 36% increase in coronavirus infection risk after a flu vaccine (Wolff, 2020).

Another study by Cowling and colleagues (2012), found those who had the flu vaccine, who had no other respiratory viruses beforehand, over a follow-up period of 9 months had a significantly increased risk of confirmed non-influenza respiratory virus infections compared to a placebo group. The study also found no significant reduction in confirmed flu infections in the test group (those who had the vaccine), meaning that the flu vaccine was ineffective.

Herd immunity
Herd immunity has been discussed by some experts and being used as a strategy by some countries such as Sweden and Japan. Herd immunity is a theoretical belief that if sufficient numbers of people are immune to in infection (the "herd"), the spread of the infection could be reduced or stopped, thus protecting those who are not immune to the infection.

The theoretical percentage of the population who need to be immune to an infection has been increased over time from 50% to 80% to 90% to 95%, depending on the infection. The estimate has increased as outbreaks were still occurring in populations which had reached the previous "herd immunity" levels through vaccinations for many infectious diseases. Outbreaks still occur in populations with 100% vaccine coverage. Hence vaccination programs are not working.

The NHMRC have published a suggested herd immunity rate for the coronavirus in Australia of 61% (MacIntyre, 2020), based on the rate of transmission, in turn based on a faulty test as described above.

Unfortunately, health officials have confused herd immunity with "natural immunity" from contracting an infection, and "vaccinated immunity" from vaccinations. They are very two different concepts. Herd immunity never occurs from vaccinations for several reasons:

Vaccines only give short-term temporary "immunity" from 6 months (in most flu vaccines) to just a few years for most others. Vaccine-induced immunity is significantly reduced at 5 years after initial whooping cough vaccination and 2x boosters (Lavine, Bjørnstad, de Blasio, Storsaeterf, 2012), and other studies show the same for other vaccines
Not everyone who gets a vaccine develops immunity. This is why boosters or multiple shots are needed, to try and force immunity a second or third time (or more) in those who did not achieve immunity from previous shots. Seroconversion rates (ie, immunity developed via antibodies) can be as low as 16% effectiveness in the annual flu vaccines for some age groups (Sequirus, 2018) , hence in most vaccines, many people do not develop immunity
With 75.2% of the Australian population being adults over 19 years (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020a) and assuming that most adults do not get regular boosters, when the temporary vaccine immunity wears off a couple of years afterwards, those adults are no longer immune. So there is no longer any "herd" to protect those who cannot have the vaccine; herd immunity does not exist!
Vaccinated women of a child-bearing age who have lost their temporary vaccine immunity cannot pass on this immunity to the foetus, in comparison to women with natural acquired immunity passing that onto the foetus via the placenta and breastfeeding (Jackson, 2006).

Herd immunity is only possible from more people being exposed to the actual infection, and developing antibodies that last a lifetime. Countries that are implementing a herd immunity strategy to combat the coronavirus allow healthy and younger people to continue their normal lives without any lockdowns or business shutdowns. Yes they may contract the infection but without chronic health conditions they are likely to develop only mild or even no symptoms. But they will develop immunity, will shorten this pandemic as the virus will die out, and will increase the level of true natural herd immunity that will protect others.

Those at risk of the virus with chronic health conditions should be recommended to continue to isolate themselves, but those who are young and healthy should be allowed to leave their homes, travel, and resume normal daily activities.

Herd immunity is never achieved from vaccination programs. In fact, the population loses more herd immunity as more people are vaccinated.

Recommendations:
For the prevention of coronavirus infections, reducing transmission rates, reducing duration and severity of symptoms, and other benefits, I recommend the State and Federal governments and their respective Health Departments undertake the following:

Increase social media marketing and traditional media coverage of better preventative strategies – more than just washing your hands and improved hygiene practices
Include recommending preventative strategies that are evidence-based, and have previously been shown effective against respiratory infections, viruses in general and/or other coronavirus strains:
- Vitamin D – at least 1200IU per day, and safe sun exposure regularly. A study by Grant et al. (2020) recommended a higher dose of 10,000IU per day for a few weeks, followed by 5,000IU per day to get vitamin D levels in the range of 100-150nmol/L for the best benefit of prevention, and a higher dose for treatment
- Vitamin C – at least 1000mg per day for children, and up to 6-8g per day for adults. A Cochrane systematic review of placebo-controlled trials found that children taking 1-2g (1000-2000mg) vitamin C daily shortened the duration of a common cold infection (a type of coronavirus) by 18% and reduced their severity. In adults the results were smaller (Hemilä & Chalker, 2013). Best results for reducing respiratory infection duration and symptoms, including preventing pneumonia (a major complication in COVID-19 infections), requires a higher therapeutic dose of up to 6-8gm per day for adults (Hemilä, 2017).
- Zinc – 20-30mg per day for adults, and age/weight equivalent for children
- Other nutritional advice – eating a healthy diet for a variety of nutrients
- Reducing foods that cause high blood sugar levels - such as sugary foods and drinks, grain-based products, and dairy foods
- Drinking sufficient water - to keep mucous membranes moist and prevent viral infections, and even using saline nasal sprays if required
- Getting good quality and quantity sleep - of 7-8 hours per night
- Moderate exercise.
Recommend cautions on using or self-prescribing anti-inflammatory medications such as Aspirin, NSAIDs, and others during a coronavirus infection. Studies have shown that the 1918 Spanish flu did not cause the high number of deaths, but from bacterial pneumonia (National Institutes of Health, 2008)) in conjunction with a new medication at that time - Aspirin, which was prescribed in too high a dose and it affected lung function in those who took it (Starko, 2009). NSAIDs and other anti-inflammatory medications suppress the immune system responses to an infection, leading to more severe symptoms, a longer duration of illness and higher risks of serious complications and deaths (Basille, Plouvier, Trouve, Duhaut, Andrejak, & Jounieaux, 2017).

Conclusion
The novel coronavirus pandemic is nothing like what we have seen before. Hence novel strategies must be implemented to deal with it. Banning recommendations of previously-proven prevention and treatment strategies is immoral when there are many lives at stake.

There are many factors which influence your individual risk for contracting this infection, most of which are environmental. There are also cultural and geographic factors which can significantly increase your risk, which we see in the referenced studies here.

Incidences of respiratory infections (from colds, flu, pneumonia, asthma, and the new coronavirus) can be reduced with preventative vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, and other natural interventions, and these should be recommended.

The reported statistics of incidences and mortality are highly inflated due to inaccurate PCR testing, and manipulative recording of deaths to blame the cause on COVID-19. Then these inaccurate statistics are used by governments to implement knee-jerk reactive legislation that destroys lives in many other ways with failed businesses, investments, jobs, and the economy.

A natural "herd immunity" strategy should be implemented to combat the virus, by allowing those who are fit and healthy to resume normal lives, travels and work. Those at risk with chronic health conditions should continue to isolate themselves while also working on improving their immune systems as detailed above. This way, we have a chance of achieving the herd immunity rate of 61% which can slow down the true rate of incidences and mortality, and bring this pandemic to an end quickly.

Please consider the abovementioned simple, cheap, and readily-available preventative and treatment recommendations in the overall prevention and treatment plans for the coronavirus pandemic. All of this evidence (and more) is available in peer-reviewed medical journals. Clinical Nutritionists and Naturopaths like myself have been using and recommending these preventions and treatments for all manner of viral infections with great success in the past, and they should be considered based on past evidence of safety and effectiveness against this coronavirus. As the medical system has no effective strategies or proven medications for this specific infection, it makes sense to use existing therapies such as the above. If not, in the reviews and inquiries after this pandemic, the public will be wondering why these simple and effective therapies were not allowed, or not tried, and why more peoples' lives could not be saved.

Thank you for your consideration.
