Deeper Panic Coming?

Note: The following Tweet Thread is what Bianco believes what will happen not what he wants to happen. 

As soon as I read the thread, I knew many would confuse what he thinks will happen as what he wants to happen. I know the feeling well, over Trump, Obama, Biden, etc. 

Amusing Comment 

It’s not Jim who doesn’t get it. Still others responded with hospitalization and death percentages. 

OK, but did you see what’s happening in Australia and even the US before Omicron.

Related Articles and Supporting Evidence For Bianco’s Opinion

Those article tend to imply Bianco is correct and more radical panic is on the way. 

Bianco has a great track record on this, but he hopes he is wrong.

Despite the supporting evidence, and for no explainable reason, I think we have seen the worst of it.

Doesn’t seem sensible to force people to take ineffective, deadly vaccines when the disease they are supposed to prevent kills hardly anyone. Once again we have a huge, massively hyped over-reaction to a fairly benign pandemic. Makes you wonder what extremes of authoritarianism they would go to if a genuinely dangerous pandemic, like the 1918 Spanish flu, was to ever happen again.

Vaccines Are Sabotaging the Immune System. Shingles May Hold Some Answers
History suggests the condition known as shingles could well represent a detoxification reaction to vaccination.
Dec 9, 2021
Long before the arrival of experimental COVID injections — which, let’s not forget, pharma executives refer to not as “vaccines” but as “cell and gene therapy” — the package inserts of licensed vaccines told the public a disturbing story.
The documentation of 400 different types of adverse reactions affecting virtually all organs and body systems, available to anyone willing to click on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s links, offered “hidden-in-plain-sight” clues of countless ways in which vaccination’s aggressive immune-system intervention can cause fine-tuned immune responses to go awry.
Those package inserts, as damning as they still are, have just been eclipsed by shocking in-house Pfizer data forced into view by a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
The company’s confidential inventorying of reactions, which was “never supposed to see the light of day,” shows that in the first 90 days of the injection’s emergency use (through Feb. 28, 2021), Pfizer recorded more than 158,000 different adverse events — including 1223 deaths —  distributed across 42,086 case reports.
While blood clots and heart problems following COVID vaccination have probably attracted the most widespread attention, Pfizer’s adverse event chart displaying 27 different “system organ classes” reveals wide-ranging problems — many of which highlight a disturbing “reprogramming” of recipients’ immune responses.
Post-vaccination shingles
Among the immune dysfunctions Pfizer noted to be “of special interest” (listed in the “other” category) were 281 events related to herpes zoster (popularly known as shingles), with a median onset of one day following COVID vaccination.

CA has a law called Prop65, which requires warnings on anything sold in the state that has the potential to cause cancer or reproductive problems.
As soon as there is some confirmed medical research from anywhere in the world that the CoVax DOES increase the risk of cancer or cause ANY SORT of reproductive issues due to the contents of the shots, such as infertility or miscarriages, then this warning will be required for all CoVax shots administered in California.
When/if this warning gets attached to the CoVax shots, you can wave buh-bye to future CoVax shots, whether first shots or boosters.  People will be panicking as their fear gets flogged by the MSM. 
This may be one reason why the FDA and Pfizer are fighting tooth and nail to prevent the disclosure of what’s in the CoVax shots.

Big news here!  I expect that there will be similar findings for the other Covid antiviral drugs and the CoVax shots themselves.  We really don’t have enough knowledge to be messing with DNA/RNA outside of the lab, let alone with a full pseudo vaccine rollout to the entire population.

As noted on a news story this morning, one big problem with the antivirals is that they need to be taken ASAP once you start getting symptoms.  But that is difficult to do here in the USA.  
Imagine if you start getting sick.  Now you have to reach out to your MD, which may take hours or days to get a response back.  Then you have to convince them to issue a prescription.  Then you have to get that script filled, arrange to pay any co-pays/deductibles and send someone to get it who is hopefully not infected themselves (or have it delivered).  It’s not an easy process.
This would work better if you could get a proactive prescription but I don’t think many MD’s would do that.

The Health Secretary made a statement in The Commons this afternoon.

“Sajid Javid begins his statement by telling MPs that the current number of daily infections are around 200,000.

He says Omicron will become the dominant variant in London in the next 48 hours and represents 20% of cases in England. 

Hospitalisations and deaths are expected to “dramatically increase” in the next few weeks and the NHS will return to its highest level of emergency preparedness, he adds.”

@biancoresearch: “Again, when cases rise, politicians panic and restrict the economy.

Hospitalizations, recoveries, and treatments matter, but POLICY is made by panicky politicians over rising case counts, like the panicky politician that is going to speak from #10 Downing in about 2 hours.”

Are politicians panicky, or is it something else? Power hungry?
A high vitamin D level helps protect against Covid-19. That doesn’t even require a prescription from a doctor. Neither does a nebulizer with food grade hydrogen peroxide, or zinc + Quercetin. Don’t need one for Aspirin, either. Even without the obstructed anti-viral therapies, one doesn’t have to be held helpless against Covid-19, vaxxed or unvaxxed.
Why is it that they want us held helpless against Covid-19, except for their rigid solution? In Oregon, 552 Covaxxed have officially died of Covid. They were denied early treatment, along with the unCovaxxed.
Government public health agencies should really be about public health, rather than political and financial agendas.

They really need these vaccine passports. “No federal passport” yet 30 suckass states are in on it.  Same as with no vaccine mandates yet let companies do what they want.  I am convinced these vaccines are bad for your heart.  I hear heart warnings all the time at night on the radio now.  I watched the 2nd dose nearly kill my neighbor.  No thanks.  I seen it first hand.

Does anyone know if they are using the same PCR test from almost two years ago? That test was wildly inaccurate in distinguishing between actual COVID-19 and over seasonal forms of COVID. I’m curious how they are able to determine new variants?

30 days from the last positive test is the standard time period required to be considered to be covid free for most health authorities. Everyone in that period is considered to have covid. And anyone who dies with covid is reported to have covid as a cofactor in the death.

Why are people even worried about the “count”? It’s an unofficial number, for tracking progress only. The final death tolls for pandemics are never determined by counts, for obvious reasons. First, some will be counted who should not be, but also, many will be missed who died at home without ever being tested. The only data that the CDC has that is accurate is the total number of deaths.  Thus, for Covid, the same thing will be done that is done every year for the flu, and has been done for every pandemic, ever, and that is to replace the counts with a number computed from excess deaths.
In an average year, about 5-7,000 people are counted as dying of the flu, and via the use of excess deaths, the number is adjusted upwards by about 600%, to about 45-75,000. The same thing will happen with Covid. They will completely throw out the counts, and replace it with a new number. Obviously the adjustment will be a lot smaller for Covid than we see every year for the flu as they are working a lot harder to “count”. The official number could be higher or lower than the “count”, but most likely will be about 20% higher. Whatever it is, it will be more accurate.

CDC states that 375k died in 2020 of Covid.  That means that despite the lockdowns, masks, social separation, vaccine passes and the CoVax shots, the 2021 Covid death count will exceed the 2020 count.  How many of the dead are the unvaxxed and how many were fully vaxxed?
That has to be embarrassing for all public health officials, politicians and the MD TV whores.

Prove it is BS. The fact is we don’t know what the truth is. The vaccines have not been proven safe. They were rushed through trials and into production. Pfizer had 4 heart attack deaths in the vax group and 1 in the placebo group. Apparently, no autopsy was performed on the vax deaths, to determine whether the vax had anything to do with it.
VAERS is under reported. The question is, what is the accurate multiplier? After the Harvard Patriot VAERS study, the CDC shut down any further study of other HMO’s, for comparison tests.

I don’t claim to know all about it, which is why i said “we don”t know what the truth is.” As we don’t know what the truth is, there shouldn’t be a rush to get everyone in the world, Covaxxed. It could be a disaster in the making, not yet realized.
“Safe and effective” is nothing more than a marketing slogan. People are denied informed consent. What are they hiding from people, if the shot truly is safe and effective? From the trials, there were known potential adverse reactions. The FDA had a slide containing a list of 20, during an October 22, 2020 presentation. When the slide came up, the presenter quickly moved past it.
Steve Kirsch’s carpet cleaner had a heart attack 2 minutes after he got the shot. Unlikely it was a coincidence. His wife also had an adverse neurological reaction after the shot.

The first two words of your post are incorrect. VAERS does not contain data. It is merely a collection of anecdotes. It is not verified, and no attempt is made to determine causation. You could file a report saying that you took the vaccine, and that you died from it, and it would become a permanent part of the data.  Without any verification, or attempt to determine causation, the information in VAERS is not data, and can not be used to reach any conclusions. So, if it’s not data, what is it’s purpose? It provides a place where anecdotes can be collected. Researchers can look at that information, and decide if there is a need to design research studies to explore if there a medicine is causing certain problems.

Yet another of your dumb posts Carl.
The CDC is the one who created the VAERS database back in 1990 and they DO examine it for vaccine problems and trends.  However, they apparently don’t share their findings with the public.  Apparently , THEY DO BELIEVE IT HAS A PURPOSE or they would have done away with it.  They certainly aren’t keeping it open so that anti-vaxxers can load it with fake/false entries, as you are trying to imply.
Most every other country has a similar dB.  Europe’s is called EUDRS and has over double the amount of deaths.
85% of the entries in VAERS are done by medical professionals.

Here is a report stating Pfizer logged their side effect vaccine problems into VAERS.  Pfizer would most certainly like these entries to be considered anecdotes rather than real data of dangerous side effects that actually occurred.   And the entries ARE treated as real data, just data that needs to be verified. 
Carl, go back to whatever your business is.  You’re in far over your ability to understand what is happening and why.

Pfizer documents reveal variety of vaccine side effects
12 Dec, 2021
….
The first tranche of documents reveal that, as of February 2021, when Pfizer’s shot was being rolled out worldwide on an emergency basis, the drugmaker had compiled more than 42,000 case reports detailing nearly 160,000 adverse reactions to the jab.
These reactions ranged from the mild to the severe, and 1,223 were fatal. The majority of these case reports involved people aged between 31 and 50 in the United States.
More than 25,000 nervous system disorders were reported, along with 17,000 musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders and 14,000 gastrointestinal disorders. A range of different autoimmune conditions were reported, along with some peculiar maladies, including 270 “spontaneous abortions,” and incidences of herpes, epilepsy, heart failure and strokes, among thousands of others.
These side effects were previously known, and have all been logged on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database, which as of Sunday has tracked 3,300 deaths following vaccination with Pfizer’s vaccine, a figure broadly in keeping with the company’s own data.

Estimating the number of COVID vaccine deaths in America
By Steve Kirsch, Jessica Rose, Mathew Crawford
Last update: November 1, 2021
Abstract: Analysis of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database can be used to estimate the number of excess deaths caused by the COVID vaccines. A simple analysis shows that it is likely that over 150,000 Americans have been killed by the current COVID vaccines as of Aug 28, 2021.
At this point, two separate stopping conditions have been satisfied:
1. The vaccines kill more people than they save
2. The vaccines have killed over 150,000 Americans so far.

While many countries are either voting and threatening to make vaccines mandatory, the UK being one of them, Japan allows individuals to choose whether to be injected with the experimental gene-therapies or not and also labels the vaccines with warnings.
Additives Warnings
Even the additives in the vaccines are highlighted in the vaccines available in Japan. Three Covid-19 gene-therapy treatments are currently offered, they include the Pfizer/BioNTech (Comirnaty) and Takeda’s Moderna formulation. Vaxzevria (formerly AstraZeneca) is also administered but only recommended to people 40-year-old and over.
The product descriptions of Pfizer and Moderna state that: “This product contains an additive that has never been used in a vaccine before,” and reference is also made to the new type of additive in the Vaxzevria injections and Pharmaceutical companies urge individuals to consult their doctors about the additive if they plan to be injected with it.

Like the governor of Colorado did, just declare it over and get on with your lives. There will always be another variation because all viruses evolve. Omicron spreads easier but is more benign and if it matches the hospitalization rates and lethality of a bad flu season then there is no reason to keep hyperventilating into a bag. This is how pandemics end, with a whimper and not a bang.

Feds Pay Zero Claims For Covid-19 Vaccine Injuries/Deaths
Adam Andrzejewski – Senior Contributor
Nov 4, 2021
Each person with a “provable” injury from a Covid vaccine could claim up to $379,000 from a special Covid vaccine fund set up by the federal government. The payout for death could be as high as $370,376.
However, according to an http://openthebooks.com investigation, the federal government didn’t pay a penny for Covid-vaccine claims. The special fund for these claims is called the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).
There were only 1,357 claims filed that alleged “injuries/deaths from the Covid vaccines,” and 53 were listed as deaths, according to recent reporting by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
By contrast, the self-reporting Vaccine Adverse Reporting System (VAERS) lists 16,310 deaths related to Covid vaccines. Of these, “5,326 of the deaths occurred on Day 0, 1,or 2 following vaccination[.]”
The low number of applicants to the CICP fund for injuries or death from the Covid vaccine suggests that people don’t know the special fund exists.

Omicron is much more infectious and most of those currently contracting it are younger, so the worry is that as it spreads to more vulnerable people it puts hospitals under more pressure.  The politicians are advised by scientists so you’d like to think they know more than we do. They are damned if they do and dammed if they don’t.
Quotes from the BBC’s reporting
“No one should be in any doubt, there is a tidal wave of Omicron coming,” Boris Johnson said in a TV statement on Sunday evening.
“It is now clear that two doses of vaccine are simply not enough to give the level of protection we all need. But the good news is that our scientists are confident that with a third dose, a booster dose, we can all bring our level of protection back up.”
“we already know it is so much more transmissible that a wave of Omicron through a population that was not boosted would risk a level of hospitalisation that could overwhelm our NHS and lead sadly to very many deaths.”

It is public health agency obstruction of early treatment therapies, which has been causing most of the deaths.

As in economics, political theatre, or personal safety – pols must be seen as doing something soas to justify their existence.  There isn’t a clear and present danger brought by this particular variation, but the arm waving began shortly after the ‘discovery’ of its existence.  For those keeping track of things, that is about 6 months less than the time elapsed between the start of the pandemic and global panic.

This is a typical news story out of the detroit area’s leading “news” station, WDIV.   Just an excerpt to capture the narrative:
“Hertel said how easily the omicron variant spreads in comparison to other forms of COVID remains to be seen.“All indicators are that it is more transmissible than the delta variant,” she said.  Bagdasarian said early data indicates vaccines will continue to offer protection against omicron, especially in terms of severe disease and deaths. She said booster shots are vital to that protection”.
There are no Omicrom deaths, there has been 1 hospitalization from in Colorado but no details of course, and by now because of it’s transmissibility, there are at least hundreds of thousands of cases world wide.   So why do we supposedly need a vaccine for Omicron?
The joke around here is:  WDIV  –  All Covid, All the Time!

Note that ‘worst on record’ simply refers to deaths.
If you get unlucky and a tornado hits populated area you get a lot of deaths (and property destruction).  Also as the US population has relentlessly increased it becomes more and more likely that you get increased deaths and property damage.
Neither of the above 2 causes has anything to do with climate change.

You’re talking about a relatively short period of record (~60 years) and during that time remote sensing has greatly improved and population has significantly increased.  This isn’t a climate issue, despite the unfortunate deaths.  The annual number of twisters observed hasn’t been remarkable and their intensities hasn’t increased – in fact, the U.S. hasn’t seen an EF5 for a record amount of time-

Why do you say Climate Change? Shouldn’t you be saying Global Warming?  Anyway tornado deaths have been trending down since this whatever you want to call it has been happening according to NOAA.

Yep. Major tornado outbreaks are becoming less common in the US. Not more common. People who don’t understand science have a kneejerk reaction to blame every weather event on climate change.

He was just repeating what Biden said yesterday and didn’t check to see if it was true before posting.

Makes sense since I think he works for the CIA or State Department.

Climate is not static. The U.S. 1930’s were hot, then it cooled down so much that talk in the 1970’s was of another ice age . This was in spite of increasing CO2 during that time.
Tornadoes decreased in number in the recent past. It’s funny how that gets ignored. It’s funny how a year without F4 or F5 tornadoes gets ignored. Its funny how a new record 12 year period without a major hurricane hitting the U.S. gets ignored.
How come we haven’t had the worst December tornado month on record, already? Global warming alarmism has been going on for decades now. Why isn’t it an annual occurrence now, if it is due to climate change?

CDC classification of sars cov2 virus deaths:
No covid vaccine – UNVACCINATED. 
Only one dose of a 2 dose covid vaccine – UNVACCINATED.
Two doses of a 2 dose vaccine but last dose occurred less than two weeks before hospitalization  – UNVACCINATED.
Two doses of 2 dose vaccine more than 6 months before hospitalization – UNVACCINATED.
Two doses of 2 dose covid vaccine and had a booster less than two weeks before hospitalization – UNVACCINATED.
One dose of J&J vaccine more than 6 months ago or less than 2 weeks before hospitalization – UNVACCINATED.
88% of covid 19 patients hospitalized really unvaccinated?

And yet the NY Governor was on the TV this morning yet again referring to the root of the problem as “a pandemic of the unvaccinated”.

The truth is the non MRNA vaccines suck. This is why omicron is worse in Europe, Australia and Asia and Africa. As usual it is the United States that has led out of this crisis. If the Trump admin had no torn up the pandemic playback and left it as part of the national security council then the deaths in the US could have been avoided much more and MRNA vaccines  could have come out sooner. From asking friends across other continents, life sucks in most places because the vaccines they used just weren’t as effective as the mRNA vaccines.  We are lucky here in the US that most of the R&D was done for decades before the MRNA vaccines came out.

The truth is that all the vaccines suck.
This report is from a local news site, note this is the total for two months in a rural county with about 100,000 people spread over 2800 square miles. The local vaccination rate is rather low, but I don’t know the percentage. I do know two fully vaccinated people who did have delta, and they both recovered without needing the hospital. 

Of the 27 deaths confirmed Wednesday, 24 had underlying health conditions, 10 were fully vaccinated, 16 were unvaccinated and one was partially vaccinated. The deaths occurred in October and November.

But thanks to the CDC only counting breakthrough infections that wind up in the hospital, your two people count for nothing at all.  Without full and good data, it is impossible to accurately assess the depth of the breakthrough problem.

Good grief C_O2020,
The most common vaccines being used in Europe are mRNA’s. Pfizer and Moderna.

Yeah, why bother doing anything to prevent the health care systems from being overwhelmed?   *$#@ them and all the extra people dying from cancer and heart disease because of delayed treatment.

Hospitals should have started building more bed space last year.  More and more vaxxed people are going to die from Covid, while the unvaxxed will most gain immunity and move on with their lives.
