COVID UPDATE:

·         An Israeli study showed that a booster resulted in a 10-fold

reduction in severe Covid illness in people over 60.

·         On Aug. 25, Israel published the most powerful and scientifically

rigorous study on the subject of natural immunity to date. In a sample of more

than 700,000 people, natural immunity was 27 times more effective than

vaccinated immunity in preventing symptomatic infections.  Which begs the

question; why does the Biden Administration ignore natural immunity if it is 27

x more effective than any vaccine, but rather believes you should lose your job

if you have convalescent antibodies and refuse to get a vaccine?  

·         Israeli researchers again found that one dose of the Pfizer

vaccine, instead of the normal two, was 100% effective in children ages 12 to

15. Such a finding could have significant implications for achieving broad

immunity in adolescents while reducing the risk of heart complications, which

have been clustered around the second dose.

·         214 myn Pfizer doses + 147 myn Moderna doses = 361 myn doses.

·         A shot for a 75-to-84 year-old is 22,000% more likely to save a

life than a shot for an 18-to-29. For the youngest cohort, the FDA has yet to

resolve whether the very slight benefits of vaccination outweigh the very

slight risks.

·         Vaccines reduce the death rate from 0.4% to 0.04%.

Climate and Ore

Total fuel consumption

of U.S. airlines is approximately 19 billion gallons annually.

Total fuel consumption

for mining Ore for construction of electric car batteries is approximately 21

billion gallons annually.

The 21 billion gallons

of fuel burned can only produce enough Ore to build 250,000 electric car

batteries.

The lifespan of an

electric battery is 10 years and is not renewable. By 2050 these batteries will

fill landfills with 50 million pounds of waste that does not break down.

I wonder if people

would still believe in electric power cars, vehicles or equipment if they knew

how massive the carbon emissions footprint really was?

Europe’s Climate Lesson for America:

Energy prices are soaring in Europe, and the effects are rippling

across the Atlantic. Blame anti-carbon policies of the kind that the Biden

Administration wants to impose in the U.S.

Electricity prices in the U.K. this week jumped to a record £354

($490) per megawatt hour, a 700% increase from the 2010 to 2020 average.
