☕️ Coffee & Covid ☙ Tuesday, January 4, 2022 ☙ SHORT SELLING 🦠
www.coffeeandcovid.com
Insurance numbers show excess deaths; two federal courts enjoin two more mandates; Florida pushes back on useless over-testing; N.Y. requires hospitals to report "with" Covid separately; & more...
This blog keeps me sane in the sense that I've not gone crazy. I can't get a job as a traveler here in FL because I refuse the clot-shot so I spend my days in a state of disbelief... this daily dose of reality assures me I'm not alone. Thank u Mr Childers.

"Testing at this point should only be used to confirm a diagnosis of symptomatic Covid so that early treatment options can be provided to patients." These words are golden!
And should have been the standard for awhile now. My husband was working in the Clinic yesterday and said there was at least a hundred cars in line outside for drive-by testing! Don't people realize these tests are not "free"? Our tax dollars pay for them and I don't want to pay for a test for someone to go on a cruise or travel to Europe. I hope employers who require them also pay for them.

In the last 3 days, 5 dear friends all vaxed (1 boosted) have come down with stay-in-bed covid. I know half a dozen others positive at work/relatives and the high school in town had 95 cases over break, that doesn’t include the 7-14 cases a day prior to break, or the middle and elementary schools cases. (We had a nasty case too, unvaxxed.) The failure of the vaccine program can not be hidden.
Two comments: first, early treatment has never included vitamins, minerals and healthy meals to boost immune systems in our bodies! THAT is where early treatment really starts!
Second: those going in for "testing" aren't necessarily the crazy ones--many city, state, and federal positions are requiring testing for the "unvaxxed"...though I just heard from my brother-in-law, who works for a federal prison, that now all employees need to be tested weekly! Crazy indeed.
I thought it interesting what Scott Davidson (the insurance CEO) didn't say. He mentioned that these numbers were for working age people but remember that his company is paid for by businesses who insure their employees, working age employees. So we don't really know what is happening with the older population. There are no insurance companies that have to be honest about those deaths. I've heard some rumors from a mortuary in England but not much otherwise.
Also, wait till you see the lawsuits that start coming from companies that mandated their employees get vaccinated into those actuarial numbers. Business's insurance costs are going to skyrocket. Yes, insurance companies pay those claims but then they get that money back, if they're still in business, by charging higher premiums. Businesses will be saddled with higher premiums and lawsuits that should be staggering - given the stupidity.
I’m glad DeSantis is speaking about early treatments but why hasn’t he mentioned ivermectin and HCQ by name? Most doctors are purposely ignorant about their benefits and won’t even consider prescribing them to their patients.
“ Anecdotally, I’ve been told by a nurse who said she worked at a hospital’s drive-through testing location that there were 200-300 people that they would see over and over, every single week, the “frequent flyers” who obsessively test and re-test, even though they have no symptoms (and are probably injected and boosted)”.
… these are likely people who don’t want to get the jab to keep their jobs and were given the option of jabs or weekly testing. I’d choose the testing, too.
Or people who go out every weekend to nightclubs that require jab or test.
I lost my job over the jab and as I’m seeking a new place of employment that doesn’t discriminate, I will probably have to test weekly. At least we will know I don’t have it. That’s more than we are able to say for all those who got the poke and don’t have to test.
The USPHS and the Surgeon General are America’s protectors in contagious disease and public health. Flu, vaccines, std’s TB and Typhoid control and managing epidemics are USPHS responsibilities.
Yet we only hear from the CDC and FDA bureaucrats who test products. They are not educated in public health. Testing products has little to do with epidemiology.
Why is the agency with the expertise in public health sidelined in favor of two lesser qualified but politically captured agencies?
Thanks Jeff. We had bad news for unvaxxed at our company yesterday and I thank God for you thousand times as when you share truth it’s always good news. Because it’s true. I’d rather have thorns from a friend than roses from an enemy. Thank you and God bless you!
Thank you so much Counselor! Great post this morning. I am feeling energized and ready for 2022! Let's end this insanity! Oh and also - contact tracing for a respiratory virus was always completely insane. I was saying that from the beginning. It's impossible. An ill person walks thru the mall, virons hang in the air, many thousands are exposed. How do you contact trace THAT?!?! You can maybe possibly trace STDs but even that doesn't seem to work well in practice (as House used to say ... people lie). Contact tracing for an URI - wow. One of the many insane mitigation "strategies" we've been tied to. We need to get UNtied, soonest!
I read the entire order written by the Judge in the Navy SEAL case. In it, I learned that one of the SEAL plaintiffs was ordered not to attend his treatments for traumatic brain injury received in combat. Why? Punishment for having the balls to file for a religious exemption to the mandate. As a former Naval officer and Naval Academy graduate, I believe what was done to this SEAL was a criminal failure of leadership. The Judge’s order also revealed that there are 35 steps in the Navy’s process of evaluating a religious exemption request. From Step 1,
The process assumes the request will be denied. It is not until after an Admiral has signed the denied request (around Step 30) is the actual request even read. I am completely disgusted at what has become to our nation’s military.
Also, “Comparing households infected with the Omicron to Delta VOC, we found an 1.17 times higher SAR [secondary attack rate] for un-vaccinated, 2.61 times higher for fully-vaccinated and 3.66 times higher for booster-vaccinated individuals, demonstrating strong evidence of immune evasiveness of the Omicron VOC.” Who woulda thunk it?! 🤔🙄😒😏
Going back to yesterday’s mention of why the CDC cut the quarantine timeline from 10 days to 5 days and differing scenarios for why this was done. These people are not imbeciles and they do not bow down to public backlash, they just change the “look” of what they are doing to move forward the endgame. The Governor of Michigan and her MDHHS who she supposedly handed over all her emergency powers when hers were stripped by the courts and the people, has announced that Michigan will NOT be following the new quarantine guidelines for the foreseeable future. They feel they need to further review the results of this new policy. See how that works? Fauci and crew please some groups but allow others to do exactly as they please. Blanket policies across the Nation suddenly become blue state governors purview. The plan here and we have seen it coming since November is to shut down the schools to virtual again. Michigan State University just announced virtual for at least three weeks. This 3 days after they announced a vax card or same day negative test will be required to attend any on campus events, barely 3 weeks after requiring all returning students to be boostered before they return to campus. The plan is methodical and driven by a media that pushes nothing but fear. Notice there never is any good news?
There's not a doubt in my mind that the excess death story will be attributed to Long Covid. It will create a new round of hysteria, and media will eat it up. Vaccination will be a rite of God

Testing and tracing of the asymtomatic should have stopped before it started way back in the summer of 2020.

I saw that insurance article. Alarming!
