To mask or not to mask

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 49 minutes ago
I keep looking for research on the safety and efficacy of the masks used by the general public. This isn't it, but it's the best we've got. This is observational, not clinical, and it is for health care workers, not you and me. The article even says, "in the absence of data" [for the masks worn by the public] this will have to do. It also is one of the few articles (it's an editorial, not research) that says there are 2 purposes--one is it protects the wearer. Which is why I wear a mask. Why is no one putting together a study on the masks the general public uses? It couldn't be tha... more »

China Inc.

Unknown at The Conservative Socrates - 1 hour ago
China is not a traditional communist country; it’s run like a multinational corporation.

Xiaoping’s China has shunned major wars—occasionally, it has been involved in some small-scale conflicts with its neighbors, but it has shown a marked preference for using its immense economic clout to get other nations to ... more »

To remove fear then is to remove the deep-seated resistance to the flow of light

Bob Dinn at balance10 - 2 hours ago
To remove fear then is to remove the deep-seated resistance to the flow of light and light’s possibilities in the being of man. To move fear is an act of God, for God did not implant fear in man. Fear was accepted by man through his ignorance of the law and his unbelief--through a lack of knowledge of the lae and of how to manipulate the many facets of the law. Despair was generated in man in moments when the divine plan was perceived dimly or not at all, for man then assumed that he stood alone in the universe. -Maitreya: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Science_o... more »

AdminM at Health Impact News - 3 hours ago
A new study has found prescribing antipsychotics to prevent psychosis is harmful and should put this practice to rest. For a decade CCHR has opposed “pre-drugging” youths and adults to theoretically prevent the onset of behavioral disorders that physically don’t exist. Researchers of the new study published in July in the Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, vindicates CCHR’s concerns. Researchers investigated whether antipsychotics might prevent “conversion to psychosis” in people who were identified as at “clinical high risk (CHR)” of it. However, they concluded: “Admi... more »

It was announced today (July 22, 2020) that President Trump's "Operation Warp Speed" project, which has been pouring in BILLIONS of federal funds for unproven COVID vaccines, most of which are using aborted fetal tissue to culture the viruses, has just allocated another $1.95 BILLION to Pfizer and BioNTech for 100 million doses of their mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine which has not even been approved yet.

Got problems? Look at academe. Every protest you see today--race, gender, homophobia, gaps--all begin in academe. She warned us with this book in 2018, it was oozing and boiling then and most of us ignored it or laughed at the snowflakes. It's also affecting how the Covid19 virus is being handled. https://youtu.be/l9URgeqIF-o

"The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!" - William Wordsworth, 1770- 1850

Walt Whitman, "Animals"

*"Animals"* "I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self contain’d; I stand and look at them long and long, They do not sweat and whine about their condition; They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins; They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God; Not one is dissatisfied — not one is demented with the mania of owning things; Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago; Not one is respectable or industrious over the whole earth." - Walt Whitman ○ *:-)*
