trychs + 5 tc March 2, 2020 thats nonsense about spanish flu. spanish fluy began as just flu trouble was Bayer had just lost its patent on asprin and it was manufactured by all and sundry worldwide which meant it needed a market. It was decided that that market was flu and the cure Dr's were given for flu was one half handful of salicylic acid every hour until the patient was cureed. Upshot was 50 million people died of aspirin toxicity and the vaccine industry was born out of that debacle. Reader please check this out yourself, incredible and stupid as this sounds you'll find with minimal research its all true. mad but true! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trychs + 5 tc March 2, 2020 Theres proof of this all over the web. This just from NYTimes is typical.. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/13/health/13aspirin.html Just google and you'll learn loads on it. Most dies of pneumonia not virus as the Drs destroyed the patients ability to fight what was a bog standard flu by overdosing them horrifically with aspirin the new wonder drug. Homeopaths lost very few patients, if they got to them first there was little problem but the quacks as they were called at the time who followed gov and pharma guidelines massacred many. Worst is this is almost totally unknown and its used by said pharmas to "prove" we need their cures. Not saying we don't need some of them just we need truth too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The NYT is barely better than the National Enquirer anymore. Aspirin was the new wonder drug of the time and like most new drugs was over prescribed. However, there were plenty of places where the new drug was completely unavailable including the Allies fighting against Germany. Since they had comparable death rates aspirin likely isn't the culprit. Myths and facts about Spanish flu. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trychs + 5 tc March 2, 2020 Yes they did have access. The Army were major pushers of aspirin and many troops died on the troop ships on the way over after being prescribed it. It was actually military advice to give very large amounts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trychs + 5 tc March 2, 2020 Best I ever read on this subject was a Homeopathic Dr's diary from one of the troop ships. He lost no patients whllst the new drs (known as quacks in those days) lost thousands. Many young men died on those ships quite unnecessarily. This one isn't NYT Ward its peer reviewed but tells the same re aspirin and the 1918 epidemic. Salicylates and Pandemic Influenza Mortality, 1918–1919 Pharmacology, Pathology, and Historic Evidence Karen M. Abstract The high case-fatality rate—especially among young adults—during the 1918–1919 influenza pandemic is incompletely understood. Although late deaths showed bacterial pneumonia, early deaths exhibited extremely “wet,” sometimes hemorrhagic lungs. The hypothesis presented herein is that aspirin contributed to the incidence and severity of viral pathology, bacterial infection, and death, because physicians of the day were unaware that the regimens (8.0–31.2 g per day) produce levels associated with hyperventilation and pulmonary edema in 33% and 3% of recipients, respectively. Recently, pulmonary edema was found at autopsy in 46% of 26 salicylate-intoxicated adults. Experimentally, salicylates increase lung fluid and protein levels and impair mucociliary clearance. In 1918, the US Surgeon General, the US Navy, and the Journal of the American Medical Association recommended use of aspirin just before the October death spike. If these recommendations were followed, and if pulmonary edema occurred in 3% of persons, a significant proportion of the deaths may be attributable to aspirin. https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/49/9/1405/301441 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The answer is ‘No it won’t!’. If you are wearing a mask, which does not seal around your nose and mouth (they do not), when you inhale the air simply comes in the sides of the mask! The masks were intended for those who are infected, to prevent, to some extent, them breathing directly on others. This is fear driven buying....look it up! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The country is behind an information curtain just like China and tried to calm fears because they were worried about an election. Because of this there are provinces that are now being locked down. 5% of MPs have been infected so far so they are far past being able to contain it. They are now turning arenas into hospitals, but about half of the sick were infected in a hospital in the first place. The problem, of course, is that the virus needs to be slowed down while we put a full plan and infrastructure in place. China's amazing in that it can put a plan in place once the right person gets a kick in the @$$. America needs longer now, but can't afford to wait too long because it doesn't have the ability to move as quickly. The UK - bah - government infighting probably means everyone's gonna die. This guy is trying to piece together information. Bear in mind he's not a journalist, so probably leans a bit too much into the alarmist camp. https://twitter.com/aliostad/status/1234017568865898497 What else would you expect after 40+ years of sanctions and denial of advanced medical technologies?

Americans are god-like creatures who determine who lives and dies? China could always supply them, as could Russia, the sanctions don't cover medical equipment, they cover financing of them. Since China and Russia have no problem trading munitions for oil with Iran, they should have no problem trading medical supplies too. The current circumstance is entirely the result of Iran's preferences for arms and funding of Hezbollah and Syria. The sanctions have no effect on that. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
