Patient outcomes would sound that alarm. Has it?
R5,
There are smart people at this including "doctors". There's more than one kind. This group includes the "take off your pants" kind.
The parity check, the patients.
For them ALL to be in on the same conspiracy simply is not plausible. Where's the whistle-blower?
Not ONE? No body other than you? Have you gone to The New York Times about this?
I'm not sure they'd bury an exposé regarding a $100 billion healthcare scam on page 2.

Masked burglary crews terrorizing ritzy neighborhoods show ‘they’re doing their homework,’ veteran cop warns
Former LAPD investigator says burglars are doing homework, tracking patterns and targeting affluent homeowners
By Stepheny Price Fox News / Published April 25, 2026 8:00am EDT
A fast-moving burglary spree is unfolding across Los Angeles, with thieves targeting some of the city’s most affluent neighborhoods and striking multiple communities over the past week — even as police flood the area with patrols.
The latest incidents unfolded Wednesday night in the San Fernando Valley, where burglars hit homes in Studio City and Toluca Lake and targeted a commercial property in a separate theft that led to a police chase.
The violence escalated Thursday night when a woman in her 70s was strangled during a home invasion in the Hollywood Hills, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The suspects, described as at least two masked men, fled with cash and jewelry and remain on the run.

Anyone that's seen Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange might imagine what 2030 will bring if this police-eluding method is franchised across the continent.
Actually I have never heard of a single knowledgeable person who claims mRNA can or should be used as a vaccine.
If spike proteins could be used as an epitope for COVID immunity, then they should be grown in lab vats safely, and not grown in our own cells by reprogramming our own ribosomes, since that causes our own cells as being detectably damaged and needing to be destroyed.
But because our own exosomes have to use the same spike proteins as covid, in order to be let into the ACE2 receptors of our cells, you can't use spike proteins as a pathogen epitope.
Originally mRNA was just an experiment, since there was no time to develop a real covid vaccine.
But it failed totally.
It did not at all prevent any infection spread in any way.
There was a slight reduction of covid severity, but that only lasted a couple of months, and was not due to a specific immunity, but just the general increase in immune system activity caused by all the cells that had to be destroyed due to them sprouting spike proteins.
The whole mRNA concept makes no real sense and was probably the worst medical bungle in US history.
And the inventor of mRNA technology, Dr Robert Malone, always warned us against its use as an alternative to real vaccines.
The real purpose of mRNA technology was to cure things like protein deficiencies.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged David Morens, MD -- a top aide to Anthony Fauci, MD, during the pandemic -- with multiple federal crimes, accusing the former career scientist of using his private email to evade Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests related to discussions on bat coronavirus research grants.
Morens, who served as a senior advisor to Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 2006 to 2022, and his "co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19," acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.
The case centers around emails related to a grant for bat coronavirus research that the NIH terminated based on allegations that COVID emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, which received a subaward from the main grant, prosecutors said.
Morens and others pledged to help restore the grant and "counter the narrative that COVID-19 leaked from a lab," according to prosecutors. They further alleged that Morens and others anticipated their communications would be requested through a FOIA request, so they agreed to hide them by using Morens' personal email account instead of his NIH email.
"I learned from our foia lady here how to make emails disappear after i am foia'd but before the search starts, so i think we are all safe," Morens wrote in a Feb. 24, 2021 email. "Plus i deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail."
A co-conspirator, who appears to be EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak, PhD, allegedly gifted Morens wine for his help. In their communications, Morens allegedly also mentioned being deserving of the gift for "a scientific commentary in a prominent medical journal advocating that COVID-19 had natural origins." That is likely the "proximal origins of COVID" paper published in Nature Medicine that has become a lightning rod in the COVID origins debate.
Morens' communications were in the spotlight during a May 2024 hearing and accompanying report by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which initially revealed his use of private email to discuss the grant.
During the hearing, ranking member Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.) said Morens' behavior was "deeply troubling" -- but noted the emails were "not a breakthrough moment in actually understanding the actual origins of the COVID-19 pandemic."
"It is not anti-science to hold you accountable for defying the public's trust and misusing official resources," Ruiz said at the time.
HHS temporarily suspended federal funding for EcoHealth Alliance around that time and formally debarred the company in January 2025, just days before President Trump took office.
Fauci also testified before the subcommittee, in June 2024, and was asked about Morens' testimony regarding the use of private emails. The former NIAID director said he had "never conducted official business using my personal email," and called Morens' behavior "an aberrancy and an outlier."
Former President Joe Biden pardoned Fauci at the end of his term. At the time, public health officials lamented that a pardon was needed to protect against possible prosecutions by the Trump administration.
Morens was charged with conspiracy against the U.S.; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal, or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting. He faces a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison for the conspiracy charge; a max of 20 years for each count of destruction, alteration, or falsification of records; and a max 3 years for each count of concealment, removal, or mutilation of records.
"We caught Dr. Morens red-handed as he boasted in emails about how the 'FOIA lady' coached him on how to hide records and cover-up information," said Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which oversees the select subcommittee, following the DOJ announcement. "No one is above the law and under the Trump Administration, overdue accountability is finally here."

Former Top Fauci Advisor Indicted by DOJ

Nearly $870,000 worth of industrial drones capable of dispersing large amounts of liquid chemicals were stolen from a New Jersey company in what could become a "nightmare scenario," according to a new report.
Fifteen Ceres Air C31 drones were stolen from CAC International in Harrison, N.J., on March 24, according to The High Side Substack. The drones were allegedly stolen by a delivery driver who duped the company, the report said.
In total, a Ceres Air C31 costs around $58,000, meaning that nearly $870,000 of equipment was allegedly stolen.
The report said that a fraudulent bill of lading was shown when picking up the drones, and CAC International allegedly considered them legitimate.
The drones are equipped to hold and spray up to 40 gallons of liquid chemicals, reportedly causing concern inside the U.S. government.
"This was one of the most highly sophisticated thefts [the FBI] have seen in a long time, which is the main thing that has them so spooked," said an individual who was briefed on the situation, according to the report.
"On April 27th, the New Jersey State Police Cargo Theft Unit recovered 15 stolen agricultural drones and spray systems.

That's only part of the story.
Who stole them?
How did they obtain the information used to complete the heist?
What use did the thieves intend for this stolen equipment?
We may have averted a catastrophe here.
Such equipment could not only be used to attack any open air stadium in the U.S.
It could have been used to attack population concentrations at special events at urban centers
either as a sortie,
or perhaps 09/11/01 style, separate cities, in a coordinated attack.

Did Trump unilaterally mastermind this shuffling of the global economy,
having in mind to reduce OPEC cohesion, for future lower oil price? Trump, a diabolical genius?
My opinion is that like Bush, Trump wants higher oil prices in order to benefit Texas and other use oil producers.
UAE is foolish to ignore quotas, because then they will run out sooner, before prices really start to rise.
As an abstraction, indeed so.
Meaning, even if Trump is substantially correct, is it illegal?
I'd be curious what Comey's explanation is. His dog's weight and age in dog years ?
It wouldn't surprise me if the defense comes up with some alternate explanation.
86 47
Due to the obvious difference in color of the first digit, ... ?
Trump has been flagrant about this:
- slash government (Musk)
- provide a superficial benefit to the many
- provide a windfall bonanza to his $rich cronies.
Sure, raise oil prices to advance crony capitalism. BUT !
The downside may be worse, inflation, and higher cost of living. Trump has been angry with Secretary Powell over interest rates.
a) Indeed.
b) It's unlikely they don't know that, which indicates
c) they've made their calculation, and decided in favor of short-term gain (for long term pain).

United Arab Emirates will leave OPEC in a blow to the oil cartel
The United Arab Emirates will leave OPEC effective Friday, stripping the oil cartel of its third-largest producer and further weakening its leverage over global oil supplies and prices.
apnews.com
The early reactions trickling down to my desktop display seem more like gossip than news.
Reported, UAE has invested to increase their production capacity, and now they want to monetize it.
R5 #231 hints that for UAE, a ~40% production increase may only result in a ~20% revenue increase, at the expense of OPEC.
Why? "Supply & demand".
#234 - Nice boats.
Here is the AI history of "86".
{...
"86" is American slang meaning to get rid of something or someone, originating from 1930s soda-fountain and restaurant jargon.
The term "86" first appeared in American English in the 1930s, primarily in the context of soda fountains and diners, where it indicated that an item was sold out or unavailable ( Wikipedia+2). Over time, its meaning broadened to include ejecting a person or refusing service, especially in bars and restaurants ( HISTORY+1).Theories About Its Origin
- Rhyming Slang for "Nix": One of the most widely cited explanations is that "86" is rhyming slang for "nix," meaning to cancel or reject something ( Wikipedia+2).
- Soda Fountain Jargon: Soda jerks reportedly used numeric codes in the 1930s, where "86" meant an item was out of stock, "13" indicated a boss was present, and "81" referred to a glass of water ( Wikipedia+1).
- Chumley's Bar Theory: Author Jef Klein suggested that the term originated at Chumley's bar at 86 Bedford Street in Manhattan, where police would instruct bartenders to "86" customers, meaning they should exit through the 86 Bedford Street door during Prohibition raids ( Wikipedia).
- Restaurant Code Hypothesis: Some sources propose that "86" was part of a restaurant code in the 1930s signaling "we're all out of it," which later evolved to mean "get rid of" a person or item ( Snopes.com).
- First Documented Use: The earliest known published use of "86" in the sense of refusing service was in 1944, referring to actor John Barrymore, who was considered an "eighty-six" at bars, meaning "don't serve him" ( Grunge+1).
Fine. And thank you R5 for displacing the MAGA Chicken Littleism with some objective considerations.
I don't recall encountering the word "murder" among these sources.
If serving John Barrymore was more trouble than it's worth, send him packing. It doesn't appear to "86" such prospective customers meant to murder them.
Furthermore as Comey is a consummate law enforcement professional with years of tenure as director of the FBI, and not a murderer,
even if "86" is to be deemed ambiguous, then why embrace the absurd, criminal misinterpretation, and not the meaning more consistent with such a faithful law abiding servant of the People?
The point of this indictment is that David Morens was found to have been trying to hide the fact the US had paid for the research to create COVID, and that it did not come from the wet market as the administration had claimed.
Is it that simple?

During a May 10, 2021, airing of his Fox News show, host Tucker Carlson claimed that National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Anthony Fauci helped provide funding for "gain of function" research at a facility in Wuhan, China, that (supposedly) led to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During that broadcast of "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Carlson cited an opinion piece regarding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic that was written by Nicolas Wade. In a nutshell, Wade argued without substantiated evidence that gain of function experiments (we'll explain what those are later) that were prohibited in the U.S. continued at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which ultimately led to the creation of SARS-CoV-2. And because the Wuhan-based institute was not properly regulated, Wade argued, the novel coronavirus was likely to have infected a researcher who would ultimately become the source of the pandemic.

So it seems Fauci is the fault of the covid being created.
First by funding the "gain of function" research.
Second by doing it at Wuhan, where the poor regulations allowed it to get out to the public.
