  • Dr. Rainer Fülmich, attorney at law in Germany, for an overview. Thank you. Good afternoon. My name is Rainer Fülmich and it is my pleasure to serve as one member of a group of distinguished international attorneys and lawyers who have been collaborating on this very important case for many months now. This case involving the most heinous crimes against humanity committed under the guise of a corona pandemic on a global scale looks complicated only at first glance. But when you put together all those pieces, all those little pieces of the puzzle, as we will do this for you with the help of many renowned experts and other witnesses during this proceeding, you will see four sets of facts. One, there is no corona pandemic but only a PCR plantemic fueled by an elaborate psychological operation designed to create a constant state of panic among the world's population. This agenda has been long planned. It's ultimately unsuccessful. Precursor was the swine flu some 12 years ago and it was cooked up by a group of super rich psychopathic and sociopathic people who hate and fear people at the same time, have no empathy, and are driven by the desire to gain full control over all of us, the people of the world. They are using our governments and the mainstream media, both of which they literally own, to convey their panic propaganda 24-7. Two, the virus itself can be treated safely and effectively with vitamin C, D, zinc, etc. and also with off-label use of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, etc. But all these not alternative methods of treatment but real methods of treatment were banned by those who are using the guise of this plantemic to push their ultimate goal, which is to get everyone to receive the, as we will show in this proceeding, not only ineffective but highly dangerous, yes lethal, experimental injections. Three, the same people who made the swine flu, which ultimately turned out to be a mild flu, into a pandemic 12 years ago by first changing the definition of what a pandemic is and then creating panic created this corona pandemic. The swine flu was their first real attempt at creating a pandemic and just as one of its purposes then was to divert our attention from the blatantly fraudulent activities of their financial industry, more aptly to be called a financial mafia, which had become visible through the Lehman crisis, this is also one of their major purposes of this corona pandemic now. Had we taken a closer look then during the Lehman crisis, instead of blindly believing our government's promises that the perpetrators of those financial crimes will be held liable, we would have seen then that they had been looting and plundering our public coffers for decades and we would have seen that our governments are not our governments anymore, rather they have been taken over by the other side through their main platform, the World Economic Forum, which had started to create their own global leaders through their young global leaders program as early as 1992, two of the first graduates being Angela Merkel and Bill Gates and we would have understood already then what we will show you now through this proceeding. These financial crimes went unchallenged by our politicians because they're aiding and abetting those who commit them and profiting from these crimes. Four, ultimately however we will show to you, the jury, that the other side's main purpose is to gain full and complete control over all of us. This involves the finalization of their looting and plundering by deliberately destroying our small and medium-sized businesses, retail businesses, hotel and restaurants, so that platforms such as Amazon can take over. And this involves population control, which in their view requires both a massive reduction of the population and manipulating the DNA of the remaining population with the help, for example, of mRNA experimental injections. But it also requires, in their view, the deliberate destruction of democracy, of the rule of law and of our constitutions through chaos, so that ultimately we will agree to losing our national and cultural

  • Hi guys, so just a quick update from me. For those of you who don't know me, my name's John, I'm a funeral director based in Milton Keynes. I run a funeral home called Milton Keynes Family Funeral Services, and this time it is the 6th of December 2021. So what we're seeing is a large number, an unnaturally large number of deaths due to heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, and these are all as a direct result of thrombosis, embolisms in the lungs, the legs, various places that's causing these deaths. These are well documented by the local coroners, these are well documented, you know, across the country. And now I've seen more this year than I have in the previous 14, to give you an idea. I've written to the Chief Coroner of England, he isn't concerned. I've had no response for weeks and weeks, and then I've had an email from his secretary saying he's not interested. So we're seeing those deaths. The other type of death that I'm seeing, which is more distressing for me personally, is people who are getting sick now as their immune systems finally give up. So they've had the jabs maybe six, eight months ago, and it's been eaten away at their immune system, and now they're struggling to fight off things like the common cold. So we're in winter, and as you'll be aware, there are colds and flus about at this time of the year. These people can't fight it off, and the government are very quick to label it Omnichron, a new variant. You know, and they are sick, but they're sick with basic things like the common cold. Their immune systems are decimated, and if you think about it logically, much like, for example, a cancer patient. So when you get a cancer patient and they're on chemotherapy, it decimates their immune system, and one of the things that they have to be extremely careful of is because they've got no immune system, a basic common cold or a flu can kill them. And this is what we're seeing now in these jab recipients across up and down the country. They're becoming extremely ill, really, really ill. For example, I've got a couple of friends, I've known them for a long time, very intelligent guy, logical thinker, him and his wife are both in jabs. He's had one, he's had both. He's bitterly desperate now, he's desperate to get the booster because he feels so terribly ill, he thinks that will make him feel better. You know, what do you say to these people because they just won't? I'll try to explain. This is what is killing you. This is killing you. It's damaging your immune system. All you've got is a common cold. And I said to him, look, I will come over, I'll bring you whatever you need. I will kiss you on the lips because I'm in no danger of falling sick because I have an immune system that's protecting me as a guy who hasn't been jabbed. These people, you know, it was well documented on the Georgia guide stones and other places what would happen. These people are going to willingly walk over the cliff begging for more. This is why, it's because these jabs are decimating your immune system. The other type are the blood clots that are quick killers and we've seen plenty of those as well. So please, please, please, don't take any more of these jabs. It's killing you. It's killing you. And lining up for more jabs when you're desperately ill already isn't the answer. It really isn't the answer. Take a step back. Just look a little bit deeper than the BBC and Google are telling you. The jabs are what are making you ill. The Omicron is vaccine injury. They're nothing more than that. Will you believe it? I really don't know. I really don't know. Time will tell, I guess. Time will tell. But that's where we are in December of 2021. We're exactly where the scientists told me we would be. Sadly. I just hope that people listen. I hope that people listen because if they don't, they're going to get sick and they're going to die. That's the reality. You will die if you keep taking these jabs. And you know, bless you, bless you. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Never a true word spoken.

  • Adam Rogas – CEO and Co-Founder of NS8 by IdeaMensch · Nov 30, 2016 287Share Tweet 66Share Adam-e1480959343307 Find a problem you think you can solve and really focus on it. Resist the urge to move from that problem until you have demonstrated by positive user feedback and growth that you have actually solved it. Adam Rogas is the CEO and Co-Founder of NS8. With over 14 years of senior development and management expertise, as well as extensive knowledge in the fields of online fraud and spam filtering, Adam brings a tremendous amount to NS8. He was a founder of LoadMail and has worked as a trusted advisor to Postini, London Board of Tourism, Vivendi Universal, and Napster. In each case, Adam has helped implement big data, email, spam and virus filtering, and data security solutions. Mr. Rogas has architected extremely large-scale spam and virus filtering platforms, dealing with well over 100,000 messages per hour. He has also played a central role in the architecture of numerous large scale analysts solutions. Adam brings his love for safe, effective communication and startup ventures to NS8. He is married and also calls Las Vegas, Nevada home. Where did the idea for NS8 come from? My partners and I have run some significant and highly transactional websites and services prior to NS8. We understood that the common threads of fraud, abuse and poor user experience affected each of them in some way, shape, or form. Knowing this, we felt there had to be a better way to protect these types of sites and services, from being abused, regardless of their size. We also knew that any solution we created had to be easy to deploy, manage, and understand. What does your typical day look like and how do you make it productive? In an early stage company you are wearing lots of hats. I work a ton of hours. So, the key for me, is to keep my thoughts organized. I usually divide my day up into 3 or 4 segments and then identify what I think I can accomplish in each one of them. Once I do this, I make a list for each segment. This gives me a semblance of structure to my day that helps me get my mind right for the tasks I have to tackle. It also helps me walk away and not overthink the ones I have already completed. How do you bring ideas to life? I usually start with an idea or something that would really matter to a specifc group of people and then I start asking questions. I will then usually build some simple example, or take steps to create what I’m trying to do, and show it to people get feedback and repeat until I reach my goal. What’s one trend that really excites you? It has gotten easier and easier to bring big ideas to life, and to compete, due to the growth of cloud services. To me, it really levels the playing field for a lot of ideas, that just 5 years ago, would have been impossible for all but the largest companies to bring to life. What is one habit of yours that makes you more productive as an entrepreneur? I try to be fairly aware of my own ADD and so I will make lists to hold myself accountable for the items on them. I also try to solve this problem in our hiring practices by surrounding myself with people that are very detail and process focused. What advice would you give your younger self? Find a problem you think you can solve and really focus on it. Resist the urge to move from that problem until you have demonstrated by positive user feedback and growth that you have actually solved it. If you do that, and continue to do it over and over again, you will be successful. Tell us something that’s true that almost nobody agrees with you on? That I am a good singer ? I don’t know that I am very persuasive here …. but I do know I can’t sing. As an entrepreneur, what is the one thing you do over and over and recommend everyone else do? I am constantly talking to our customers. I try to involve them early on, and very often in our process. This is one area I struggle with as we evolve and scale our product development processes, but it is critical to maintaining that connection as to why your customers want your product in the first place. What is one strategy that has helped you grow your business? Please explain how. Surrounding myself with supremely talented people and partners. It has been instrumental to my own growth and the growth of my businesses. What is one failure you had as an entrepreneur, and how did you overcome it? That would probably be my first company, Load Ltd. Load was a hosted application service provider before there was a term for Software As A Service (SaaS). We had a popular email product called LoadMail, that was used by a number of major companies. About 1 year into the business we chose to offer additional services above and beyond just mail and it was this decision that would prove to be our failure. As a team, we didn’t fully understand how diversifying our focus would negatively impact our effectiveness. I tell everyone who asks for advice to pick a problem you can solve and focus on solving it well. Successful entrepreneurs have one thing in common — they never give up. What is one business idea that you’re willing to give away to our readers? I like ideas that take subject knowledge and find a way to productize it. One idea I had was to do this for athletic departments in D1 schools, so they could crowdsource from their athletes, managers, and students the creation of social marketing content. They could then manage it from a centrally controllable compliance system. Or Plastics !! Invest in Plastics (god I’m old) What is the best $100 you recently spent? What and why? Money spent on experiences, dinner with my wife or friends, or money that helps someone. Recently, since we are living across the country from each other, it would be dinner with my wife the last time I was at home in Las Vegas. What is one piece of software or a web service that helps you be productive? How do you use it? Slack. It helps our entire team communicate. What is the one book that you recommend our community should read and why? “Start With Why” by Simon Sinek. It helps you think about what you are building in a way that really focuses on how it will be consumed by those whom you are selling it to. What is your favorite quote? “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” -Winston Churchill Tell us about one friend or acquaintance of yours who we should interview on IdeaMensch. Who are they, what are they doing and what’s their email address? I actually have two Nick Jones, Nick and I started what was our first real company together Load Ltd along with my current business partner Paul Korol. Nick’s is currently working on a great project focused on personal and affinity based content creation called JRNL.com, they have recently been through boom Startup a SaaS focused startup accelerator in Salt Lake City and have just completed a seed round of funding. John Njoku, John is working on a great project RentHub.com, which is at the intersection of Multifamily Residential Realestate and Big Data Analytics. RentHub has some huge clients such as StarWood capital and The Lefrak Organization and has recently completed the Elmspring accelerator based in Chicago.

  • 【重磅新聞!劍橋大學發表溯源新冠病毒的研究報告: 最原始毒株普遍存在于美國,中國流行的是變異毒株】 報告原文鏈接:https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/covid-19-genetic-network-analysis-provides-snapshot-of-pandemic-origins?from=groupmessage&isappinstalled=0 實錘了,新冠病毒起源于美國! 劍橋大學研究人員發表在《美國科學院院刊》(PANS)上一篇針對新冠病毒溯源的研究發現,目前全球感染的新冠病毒實際上并非是同一種,而是變異分化成A、B、C三種類型,并且這三種類型的病毒在全球分布范圍不同。 研究人員通過繪制2019年12月至今年3月新冠病毒的基因發展史,發現了上述三種不同但又密切相關的病毒類型;然后通過在全球范圍內收集的160份感染樣本發現了不同類型的新冠病毒在全球傳播的軌跡。 讓人比較意外的是,A型--最原始的毒株,被認為是從蝙蝠傳播到人類中的新冠病毒祖先--雖然最先在中國被發現,但卻在美國最為普遍,研究發現有三分之二的美國樣本感染A型病毒,但其中受感染的患者大多數來自西海岸,而非紐約--紐約目前為美國疫情的“震中”,B類毒株是中國境內(即武漢)以及東亞地區的主要類型,C類病毒是歐洲主要類型,且在中國大陸沒有發現此類型的樣本。 By using genetic network techniques, researchers from Cambridge, UK, and Germany have reconstructed “early evolutionary paths” of COVID-19 in humans. Researchers revealed three distinct “variants” of COVID-19, which they labeled as type ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ .The research has found that the closest type of COVID-19 to the one discovered in bats – type ‘A’, the “original human virus genome” – was present in Wuhan, but surprisingly was not the city’s predominant virus type. Mutated versions of ‘A’ were seen in Americans reported to have lived in Wuhan, and a large number of A-type viruses were found in patients from the US and Australia. Wuhan’s major virus type, ‘B’, was prevalent in patients from across East Asia. The ‘C’ variant is the major European type, found in early patients from France, Italy, Sweden, and England. It is absent from the study’s Chinese mainland sample.

  • A Covid Update 新冠病毒最新資料 We have the latest on the Delta variant. 我們有最新Delta變型病毒有關的資訊。 By David Leonhardt Published June 14, 2021Updated June 15, 2021 It’s time for one of this newsletter’s occasional updates on the state of the pandemic. The brief version: The situation continues to look reassuring for anybody who is vaccinated — but has become more worrisome for anybody who is not, largely because of the Delta variant. 新聞簡報在這個時間點,要提供有關最新流行病的訊息:由於Delta變型病毒的緣故,目前的情境,對接種過疫苗者可以安心,但是對尚未施打疫苗者就要格外小心應對了。 Here are three more detailed points: 有三個重要的細節: 1. Cases are no longer falling 確診數不再下降 The news about Covid-19 has been mostly positive in the U.S. over recent months. The vaccines continue to work well against every variant, and the number of Americans who have gotten a shot continues to rise. 最近幾個月,美國面對新冠病毒流行病疫情的消息,是非常正面的。各種疫苗持續對抗每一種變型病毒,是有效的,同時美國施打疫苗的人數不斷上升。 But the U.S. still faces two problems. First, the pace of vaccinations has slowed, and a substantial share of Americans — close to one third — remains hesitant about getting a shot. These unvaccinated Americans will remain vulnerable to Covid outbreaks and to serious symptoms, or even death. 但美國仍要面對兩個問題,第一,接種疫苗的速度已減緩,美國人重要的施打人數的比例-將近1/3的美國人,對疫苗接種的遲疑猶豫,這些未接種的美國人,對新冠病毒的再度爆發,是最易受到攻擊和產生嚴重的症狀,甚至死亡。 Second, the Delta variant — which appears to be both more contagious and more severe than earlier versions of the virus — is spreading rapidly within the U.S., after having first been identified in India. It now accounts for about 10 percent of cases, according to Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former F.D.A. commissioner. 第二,Delta變型病毒,較先前的病毒更易傳染和嚴重,在印度首次被認定後,在美國很快的傳播,目前有10%的確診數,依據美國前食藥局局長Dr. Scott Gottlieb表示。 Together, these two forces help explain why new cases have stopped falling: 上述兩種原因可以解釋為什麼新的確診數沒有停止下降:如圖 Many experts are concerned that cases will eventually start to rise as Delta becomes the dominant form of the virus. “We are vulnerable,” Dr. Kavita Patel of the Brookings Institution told Yahoo News. On Twitter yesterday, Dr. Robert Wachter of the University of California, San Francisco, wrote: “I’ll now bet we’ll see significant (incl. many hospitalizations/deaths) surges this fall in low-vaccine populations due to combo of seasonality, Delta’s nastiness, & ‘back to normal’ behavior.” 很多專家開始擔心,確診數將開始上升,當Delta成為主要的病毒形式漫延,我們會很容易受到攻擊,Brookings Institution的Dr. Kavita Patel告訴Yahoo新聞社,另外加州舊金山大學Dr. Robert Wachter昨天(6/15)在推特寫到:我敢打賭,今年秋天我們會看到在疫苗施打率低的地區,會有很多住院和死亡的案例飆升,由於季節的變化、Delta變型病毒的危險性和恢復正常生活習慣等因素所造成。 2. But the vaccines work 各種疫苗是有效的 In addition to being more contagious, Delta also appears to be more severe. As my colleague Keith Bradsher reports about southeastern China, where the variant has been spreading: “Patients are becoming sicker and their conditions are worsening much more quickly.” (China has more detailed data than many other countries, because it conducts rapid, widespread testing.) Delta除了傳染力強之外,它更為嚴峻,作者的同事Keith Bradsher報導了這類病毒在中國東南部的地方擴散:患者感覺不適而且很快的惡化。(中國比其它國家有更細節的資料,因為中國有實施快速普篩檢測) But there is still one very big piece of encouraging news: The vaccines continue to work extremely well against the variants, based on the evidence so far. The best performing vaccines vastly reduce the number of Covid cases of any kind and virtually eliminate death. 但在此還是有一些令人興奮的重要消息:依目前的證據顯示:各種疫苗持續對不同的變體病毒,有很好的防護能力。疫苗最佳的功能在於能大量減少各種的確診數和最終排除死亡。 “The Delta variant is by far the most contagious variant of this virus we have seen in the entire pandemic,” Dr. Ashish Jha said yesterday. “The good news is the data suggests that, if you’ve been fully vaccinated, you remain protected, that the vaccines hold up.” 目前的Delta變型病毒是整個流行病中,最會傳播感染的病毒,Ashish Jha醫生昨天(6/15)表示,好的消息資料顯示:假如你接種過完全的疫苗,你就會受到充份的保護。 The clearest place to see this pattern is Britain, where the Delta variant has spread widely and where the vaccination rate is high. In Britain, there is “still no sign of increase in deaths, well after the strain has become dominant,” as Dr. Eric Topol of the Scripps Research Translational Institute noted. 最顯而易見的地方,就是英國的案例,Delta變型病毒在英國廣泛的傳播,由於它的疫苗施打率高,當這新的病毒株在英國橫行時,並無發現死亡上升的跡象, the Scripps Research Translational Institute的Dr. Eric Topol特別提到。 3. The lesson is clear 這課題非常清楚 Nothing is more important than vaccination. 萬事莫如施打疫苗急 Persuading more Americans to get vaccinated will save some of their lives. And a more rapid global vaccination program can save millions of lives around the world. Delta already appears to be at least partly responsible for rising case counts in several African countries, Russia and elsewhere. 說服更多的美國人接種疫苗,可以拯救更多的生命,加速全球接種疫苗計畫,能拯救全世界數以百萬人以上的生命。Delta在一些非洲國家、俄羅斯和其它地區,已造成了許多確診的事實。 “If you’re fully vaxxed, I wouldn’t be too worried, especially if you’re in a highly vaxxed region,” Wachter wrote. “If you’re not vaccinated: I’d be afraid. Maybe even very afraid.” 假如你完全的接種過疫苗,作者就不會太憂慮,特別是在疫苗施打率高的地區,Wachter寫到,假如你尚未施打疫苗,作者就會很擔憂,甚至會更害怕。 More on the virus: Novavax announced today that a clinical trial of its vaccine in the U.S. and Mexico found an efficacy rate of about 90 percent. Novavax疫苗今天宣佈在美國和墨西哥所作的臨床實驗,證明有效保護力達90%。

  • James Robb, MD UC San Diego. 詹姆斯.萝卜,加州大学圣地亚哥分校医学博士 Subject: What I am doing for the upcoming COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic 新冠疫情扩散下我的防备攻略 Dear Colleagues, as some of you may recall, when I was a professor of pathology at the University of California San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (the 1970s). I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained. Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources. 众所周知,我是冠状病毒的分子病毒专家,从70年代到现在一直在研究这些病毒。所以我是有发言权的。 The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April. 现在大规模在美国爆发还只是一个可能,现在还是数据不足。但是广泛传播要到三月底四月。 Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves.: 我预防冠状病毒的方法和防止流感一样,只是增加口罩和手套。 1) NO HANDSHAKING! Use a fist bump, slight bow, elbow bump, etc. 不要和别人握手。用碰拳头,小鞠躬,碰胳膊肘等代替。 2) Use ONLY your knuckle to touch light switches. elevator buttons, etc.. Lift the gasoline dispenser with a paper towel or use a disposable glove. 只用手指关节去开灯的开关和电梯按钮。用纸或者戴手套加汽油。 3) Open doors with your closed fist or hip - do not grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way to open the door. Especially important on bathroom and post office/commercial doors. 不要用手抓门把,特别是公共厕所,邮局,商业中心的门。用拳头和屁股把门撞开。 4) Use disinfectant wipes at the stores when they are available, including wiping the handle and child seat in grocery carts. 如果店里有抗菌湿巾提供,用它来擦所有碰到的把柄和儿童座。 5) Wash your hands with soap for 10-20 seconds and/or use a greater than 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer whenever you return home from ANY activity that involves locations where other people have been. 每次从外面回家,至少用肥皂洗手20秒。 6) Keep a bottle of sanitizer available at each of your home's entrances. AND in your car for use after getting gas or touching other contaminated objects when you can't immediately wash your hands. 在家里的门口和车里放一瓶消毒液。 7) If possible, cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard. Use your elbow only if you have to. The clothing on your elbow will contain infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more! 如果来得及,尽量打喷嚏擤鼻涕到纸巾上。如果来不及用胳膊肘捂了,要及时换衣服。 What I have stocked in preparation for the pandemic spread to the US: 在美国家里,我囤积了一下物资: 1) Latex or nitrile latex disposable gloves for use when going shopping, using the gasoline pump, and all other outside activity when you come in contact with contaminated areas. 一次性橡皮手套,外出时备用。 Note: This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you! BUT all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average - everything that is associated with infected people will be contaminated and potentially infectious. 注意,病毒靠咳嗽和打喷嚏产生的较大的水雾珠传播的,不是因为空气本身。所有的水雾珠会落在各种各样的表面,在那里呆一个星期之久。所有感染的人碰过的东西都有病毒。 The virus is on surfaces and you will not be infected unless your unprotected face is directly coughed or sneezed upon. This virus only has cell receptors for lung cells (it only infects your lungs) The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth. 这个病毒只会感染你的肺,而进入的途径就是你的口鼻。所以唯一被感染的机会是你的手带到你的口鼻除非有人直接对着你的脸打喷嚏咳嗽。 2) Stock up now with disposable surgical masks and use them to prevent you from touching your nose and/or mouth (We touch our nose/mouth 90X/day without knowing it!). This is the only way this virus can infect you - it is lung-specific. The mask will not prevent the virus in a direct sneeze from getting into your nose or mouth - it is only to keep you from touching your nose or mouth. 在家里储存一些一次性医用口罩。其实口罩并不是用来防止别人对你打喷嚏,而是阻止你的手老是去碰你的口鼻。你可能不知道,我们每天不知不觉会碰自己的口鼻90次以上。 3) Stock up now with hand sanitizers and latex/nitrile gloves (get the appropriate sizes for your family). The hand sanitizers must be alcohol-based and greater than 60% alcohol to be effective. 储存一些洗手消毒液,最好是含有有60%以上酒精那种。买一些手套。 4) Stock up now with zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel ANY "cold-like" symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx. Cold-Eeze lozenges is one brand available, but there are other brands available. 储备大量的锌锭剂。一般的药店应该有很多选择。其中一种叫Cold-Eeze lozenges。锌锭剂被证实对冠状病毒和其他病毒有一定防治作用。当你开始感到有感冒的感觉到时候,按照说明书每天服用数次。最好安静的躺下来,让锌锭剂慢慢融化在喉咙和鼻腔里。 I, as many others do, hope that this pandemic will be reasonably contained, BUT I personally do not think it will be. Humans have never seen this snake-associated virus before and have no internal defense against it. Tremendous worldwide efforts are being made to understand the molecular and clinical virology of this virus. Unbelievable molecular knowledge about the genomics, structure, and virulence of this virus has already been achieved. BUT, there will be NO drugs or vaccines available this year to protect us or limit the infection within us. Only symptomatic support is available. 和大家一样,我希望冠状病毒的疫情能够得到控制。科学界已经学到很多关于这个病毒的东西。可是毕竟人类没有见过这个病毒,也没有建立对它的免疫力。我不认为一年内会有真正有效药物和疫苗开发出来拯救人类或者控制病毒。目前只能减缓病状。 I hope these personal thoughts will be helpful during this potentially catastrophic pandemic. You are welcome to share this email. Good luck to all of us! Jim 我希望我这样个人的想法对你有所帮助。欢迎你和大家分享这份文章的内容。祝我们好运!詹姆斯 James Robb, MD FCAP

  • (-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)美國黑水公司與蔡政府聯合 拿台灣當人體實驗室 台灣人,你還要忍多久? (路透社2021-06-04 獨家報導 全文中英對照稿) (-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-) (根據維基百科:路透社乃出生於德國的保羅路透(Paul Reuters)於1851年時在倫敦創辦,歷史悠久,旗下有2500名記者及600名攝影記者,從全球200多個社址發出報導,是全球最大、也是最有公信力的跨國媒體機構之一) (以下中英文逐段並列翻譯,6分鐘內可讀完, 英文連結列在最後) WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) - Erik Prince, the founder of controversial private military firm Blackwater and a supporter of former President Donald Trump, jumped into the COVID-19 business late last year with a deal to distribute an experimental vaccine should it be approved, according to three people familiar with the arrangement and business records seen by Reuters. 路透社2021年6月4日華盛頓報導 — 普林斯(Erik Prince)是頗具爭議性的私人軍火公司「黑水」的創辦人,也是美國前總統川普的擁護者。根據路透社訪問過,熟悉黑水公司運作與交易紀錄的三位人士,普林斯從去年下半年起,也躍入新冠疫苗的商圈,企圖掌握一支目前尚在實驗階段的疫苗,以便未來若取得認證後,得以擁有銷售權。 The COVID-19 vaccine, known as UB-612, is being developed by a privately-held U.S. firm called COVAXX. 那支被稱為UB-612的新冠肺炎疫苗,乃是一家美國私人企業COVAXX所開發的。(譯者註:也就是聯亞生技所開發的聯亞疫苗) The company has said the vaccine shows promise in protecting people against coronavirus, based on a small study of 60 patients in Taiwan. It hasn't provided data on safety and efficacy from large clinical trials, information that is usually required before a vaccine is authorized for public use. 該公司宣稱已在台灣60位病人中進行過小型實驗,顯示該疫苗可望保護病人對抗新冠肺炎,但尚未提供任何大型臨床實驗所得到,關於安全性及效能方面的數據,而那通常是疫苗可被認證供民眾施打前的必要條件。 COVAXX is unrelated to the similar-sounding but better-known "COVAX," a global vaccine distribution program backed by the World Health Organization. 以上所提到的這支COVAXX 疫苗,與另一支國際衛生組織(WHO)早已認證,也較知名的COVAX疫苗,聽起來頗相像,但成分截然不同,請勿混淆。 Since the start of the pandemic in 2020, the COVAXX vaccine has attracted some big-name backers, including endorsements from entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, who co-founded the company, and motivational speaker Tony Robbins. In March, the company raised $1.35 billion in a private placement, according to U.S. securities filings. 從2020年新冠疫情逐漸升高開始,這支COVAXX 疫苗就吸引了一些重量級人士的支持,包含來自創業家彼得戴曼迪斯 (Peter Diamandis,該公司的共同創辦人)以及勵志演說家羅賓斯(Tony Robbins)的背書。根據他們三月向美國證券交易委員會所提交的文件,那時該公司已經私募了13.5億美金。 Prince's involvement in vaccine distribution, which has not been previously reported, sheds new light on the race to profit from the uncertainties of the pandemic. Vaccine supply deals have often been forged through direct government ties to drugmakers, global health organizations or diplomatic channels. 普林斯這段之前不為人知,爭取疫苗銷售權的行動,更讓人看清面對疫情,人心惶惶時,各方爭發疫苗財的真貌。疫苗供應方面的交易,往往取決於製藥廠、世界衛生組織或外交管道,是否能直接與政府打上交道。 Reuters couldn't determine how Prince first became associated with COVAXX, or whether he has brokered any vaccine supply deals. 路透社無法得知普林斯從何時開始與COVAXX掛鉤,或他是否曾經擔任任何疫苗供應交易的掮客。 Prince did not respond to questions for this story. A source close to Prince said that "Erik has been helping a vaccine manufacturer set up distribution," but declined to give details. 普林斯並未回應記者針對以上情節所提出的問題。一位接近普林斯的人士僅說「Erik(普林斯)已經在協助一家疫苗製造商設置銷售管道」但拒絕說明更多細節。 Diane Murphy, a public relations consultant for Vaxxinity Inc, which owns COVAXX, declined to answer questions related to Prince. In a statement to Reuters, she said that the company has "accepted introductions from a variety of private, public and non-profit intermediaries, both formally and informally." COVAXX 母公司Vaxxinity 公司的公關顧問墨菲(暫譯, Diane Murphy)拒絕回答與普林斯有關的提問。她只在對路透社發表的一張紙上聲明中說,該公司已經「正式或非正式地,與一些來自私人、政府或非營利機構的中間人有了初步的接觸。」 'DOLLARS PER DOSE' 每劑疫苗的佣金 Prince has made headlines for years, first as chief executive of Blackwater, whose security guards fatally shot more than a dozen Iraqi civilians in Baghdad in 2007. After he left Blackwater, Prince pushed to privatize the war in Afghanistan by having contractors fight instead of the U.S. military and became embroiled in an investigation into possible collusion between the Trump election campaign and the Russian government. 普林斯的名字多年來常上報紙頭版,首先是因為2007年他還身為黑水公司總裁時,他私人保鑣在巴格達射死了十多位伊拉克百姓。他離開黑水公司之後,又推動在阿富汗雇用傭兵,來代替美國軍人打仗,後來又捲入川普選舉時的通俄門。 Prince sought to recruit a close associate, the late Paul Behrends, a former Republican congressional staffer and lobbyist who represented Blackwater for over two years, to help in the COVAXX project. 普林斯本想招募已故的親密夥伴布倫茲(暫譯,Paul Behrends)協助COVAXX 計畫,因為布倫茲曾在共和黨眾議院中擔任幕僚,並為黑水公司遊說超過兩年。 In a series of text messages to Behrends, Prince described the potential for profit from selling the vaccines. 普林斯在一系列發給布倫茲的簡訊中,這樣形容銷售該疫苗可獲利的潛力: "There's room for a couple dollars per dose in commissions," Prince said in a Nov. 9 text to Behrends. He shared with Behrends a "Letter of Authorization" on COVAXX letterhead signed by senior vice president Brandon Schurter as proof of his distribution deal. Schurter did not respond to requests for comment. 普林斯在11月9日寫給布倫茲的簡訊中說:「每劑疫苗的佣金可達2美元」。普林斯還跟布倫茲分享了一封寫在COVAXX官方信箋,並由該公司資深副總舒特(暫譯,Brandon Schurter)簽字的「授權書」,證明他已獲得銷售權。針對以上事件,舒特本人並未回應路透社的提問。 The October 2020 letter said that an entity called Windward Capital, with an address in Abu Dhabi, was authorized to "assist in the process of creating distribution networks." Reuters could not find a Windward Capital registered in Abu Dhabi. But a company called Windward Holdings that handles "professional, scientific and technical activities" is listed there, with Erik Prince the sole named shareholder. 在該封寫於2020年10月的信中,普林斯宣稱已經在阿布扎比成立了一家名為「Windward 資產」的公司,被授權來「協助建立銷售網」。路透社無法在阿布扎比找到一間註冊為「Windward 資產」的公司,但找到了一間名為「Windward 控股」,目標在「處理專業方面、科學方面與技術方面活動」的公司,並且普林斯是該公司唯一掛名的股東。 Prince is also the managing member of a corporate entity called Windward Wyoming LLC, which says it has a "global distribution" deal with COVAXX, according to records of non-public business agreements seen by Reuters. The company was formed in October 2020, public incorporation records in Wyoming show. 普林斯同時也是一家名為「懷俄明州Windward 股份有限公司」的總經理。據路透社所見過,一份非公開的商業協定中說,該公司成立的目標為「在全球銷售COVAXX疫苗」。根據懷俄明州的官方資料,該公司成立於2020年10月。 Lawyers and other officials affiliated with the various Windward entities did not respond to requests for comment. 以上名為Windward的兩間公司,其律師及相關負責人都未回應路透社就以上所發出的提問。 Prince and Behrends were negotiating how to carve up prospective sales territories by country, said Barry Angeline, a friend of Behrends. But their possible collaboration was cut short in December, when Behrends died. 布倫茲的一位朋友安吉林(暫譯,Barry Angeline)說,普林斯和布倫茲曾經協商過,當如何針對不同國家的地區而提高疫苗的銷售量,但此合作之可能性因12月布倫茲過世而告吹。 Vaxxinity consultant Murphy told Reuters the company has a "focus on the developing market" – including the many countries that have been unable to acquire the shots made by global drugmakers and stockpiled by wealthier nations. Vaxxinity 的顧問墨菲告訴路透社,該公司「專注於開發中國家的市場」— 包含那些無法透過全球製藥廠得到疫苗,或被富有國家囤積,以致無法取得疫苗的國家。 HIGH-PROFILE BACKERS 聲名顯赫的支持者 COVAXX was formed in early 2020 as a subsidiary of United Biomedical Inc (UBI), a maker of diagnostic tests and veterinary vaccines, to address the coronavirus pandemic. In April, the company announced it was being consolidated into a new holding corporation called Vaxxinity. COVAXX的母公司United Biomedical Inc (UBI)公司,原本是製造檢驗試劑及動物疫苗的,於2020年初期分出子公司COVAXX,以對抗新冠疫情。四月時,該官司宣布被合併進入一家新的控股公司,名為Vaxxinity. COVAXX's backers were quick to publicize the vaccine's potential beginning in July, based on early tests in animals, and before the first clinical trials in people began in Taiwan. COVAXX的支持者從七月起,就已經開始大肆宣傳該疫苗的潛力,根據的不過是早期的動物實驗數據,甚至早在以台灣人首次進行臨床人體實驗之前。 Diamandis, who is listed as a co-founder of Vaxxinity, wrote in a July 30 post on his personal blog that the vaccine was safe for patients and likely effective in the elderly. He told Reuters he made it clear in those posts that his assertions were based on previous trial results of other vaccines developed by the company. 列名Vaxxinity共同創辦人的戴曼迪斯,2020年7月30日於自己私人部落格上宣稱,該疫苗不但可供病人安全接種,並且在年長者身上也有效。他告訴路透社說,他在部落格上清楚說明了,那些是根據自己公司「其他」疫苗「過去」實驗的結果而認定的。 A few weeks later, Robbins, the self-help coach, held a webinar promoting COVAXX titled "The most powerful vaccine you've never heard of." Robbins said in the video that he was one of the company owners. "I've invested in the company, so everyone knows. Because I've been blown away by seeing these results," he said. 幾週之後,有「自助教練」之稱的羅賓斯舉辦了一場網路論壇,來宣傳COVAXX,稱其為「你平生未見,最威力強大的疫苗」。羅賓斯在該影片中聲稱自己是該公司所有人之一,還說:「我要在這裡告訴大家,我投資這家公司,因為親眼目睹了施打這疫苗的神效。」 Robbins "remains an investor," his spokeswoman Jennifer Connelly said in a statement to Reuters. She added, "Mr. Robbins is not involved in the management or daily operations." 羅賓斯的女發言人康納莉(暫譯,Jennifer Connelly )在一篇給路透社的聲明中說「羅賓斯直到如今仍然是該公司的一位投資者,但他並未參與該公司日常的運作管理。」 In October, COVAXX and shipping giant Maersk announced a partnership to provide global transport of the vaccine as soon as it becomes available. The Maersk official quoted in the release, Rob Townley, said the company recognized the urgent need to safely deliver COVID-19 vaccines worldwide. COVAXX 和全球航運巨擘「快桅」公司於十月宣布合夥,將在疫苗上市後,以最快速度供應至全球。「快桅」公司的塔利(暫譯,Rob Townley)並在該聲明中說該公司認知到當務之急乃是將新冠疫苗安全運至全球各地。 Townley was briefly an aide to former U.S. Army general Michael Flynn during Flynn's short tenure as Trump's National Security Adviser. In an interview, Townley said he knows Prince but couldn't discuss Prince's involvement. 塔利曾經在川普總統任命佛林(Michael Flynn)擔任美國國家安全顧問的短短期間,短暫擔任過佛林的幕僚。塔利在一場訪問中說,他認識普林斯,但對普林斯所參與的事務不予置評。 Data on how well the vaccine works is still pending. In an email to Reuters, Vaxxinity’s Murphy said the company had completed the Phase 1 trial of 60 volunteers aged 20 to 55 in Taiwan, and is conducting a new study of 3,800 people there, including teens and elderly participants. The company plans larger trials in Brazil and India later this year. 該疫苗的果效尚有待數據證明。Vaxxinity 的墨菲在發給路透社的一封電子郵件中說,該公司已經結束在台灣針對60名,20-55歲志願者的第一期實驗。現在正在台灣進行為數3800人,包含青少年及年長者的新實驗。今年下半年計畫在巴西和印度展開更大規模的實驗。 Reporting by Aram Roston in Washington and Lisa Barrington in Abu Dhabi; Editing by Michele Gershberg 以上由在華盛頓的Aram Roston,以及在阿布札比的Lisa Barrington報導,由 Michele Gershberg編輯 以上路透社英文原稿連結為 EXCLUSIVE Blackwater founder Prince takes role in COVID vaccine venture | Reuters

Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?” 我一下子不知所措,最後我問「你確定那個地點的名字是這個?」 "Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man. 「對啦,你們有什麼班機?」 After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere." 搜索了一會兒後,我回答他「對不起,我查了所有的機場代碼,沒有『犀牛城』的代碼。」 ''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!'' 他憤怒的反駁「少笨了!大家都知道這個都市在哪裡,查一下你的地圖!」 So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo, do you?'' 我趕緊在紐約州的地圖上找,最後試著問他「你說的是不是『水牛城』?」 The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.'' 他的答案?「反正就是一個很大的動物的名字啦!」 Now you know why the Government is in the shape it's in! 現在大家知道為什麼我們的政府是這個德性了! Could ANYONE be this DUMB? 有沒有人像他們這麼笨? YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED. 有!這些人就在我們之中,還就在政治圈裡,而且他們還繼續的繁衍!
