More on China pollution and the coronavirus cover story

(To read about Jon's mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

First, I want to mention 5G technology, which, according to reports, has been widely deployed in Wuhan, "the epicenter of the China epidemic." Readers have sent me links to articles and videos that highlight human damage caused by 5G.

I'm aware of this damage. I've written about it before, and, I revisited it in a piece I wrote a few days ago titled 5G and the China epidemic. What is creating illness and death in China is not an either-or situation. In my past research on epidemics, I've found several causes of disease in every "epidemic"---causes which have nothing to do with a virus.

In Wuhan, in addition to air pollution, we could certainly be looking at 5G, and other situations of damage---for example, water pollution, heavy chemical spraying.

I've also received communications asking about "all the other cases of the coronavirus" occurring in countries where air pollution is not a significant factor. To answer these questions, I urge reading all my articles on the so-called "China epidemic." I've covered how "cases of the disease" are "discovered"---through entirely misleading and worthless diagnostic tests. It's always been easy to invent case numbers using these tests.

All right. A reader has sent me a significant piece published, in 2005, in the British medical journal, The Lancet. It emphasizes the destructive nature of air pollution in Chinese cities. Here are several excerpts.

The Lancet, November 19, 2005; CHINA: THE AIR POLLUTION CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, by Jonathan Watt:

"Over 400,000 premature deaths a year in China are blamed on air pollution levels..."

"According to the European Space Agency, Beijing and its neighbouring north-east Chinese provinces have the world's worst levels of nitrogen dioxide, which can cause fatal damage to the lungs." [The so-called "coronavirus disease" is pneumonia.]

"At a recent seminar, Zhang Lijun, deputy director of the environmental protection agency, said that pollution levels could more than quadruple within 15 years unless the country slows the rise in energy consumption and car use." [15 years later, it's a "coronavirus epidemic." How convenient.]

"A recently published study, conducted by the Chinese Academy on Environmental Planning, found that a third of China's urban residents were exposed to harmful levels of pollution. More than 100 million people live in cities where the air reaches levels considered 'very dangerous'."

"The academy blamed air pollution for 411,000 [yearly] premature deaths---mostly from lung and heart-related diseases."

"'It's a conservative figure. The real figure could be higher', Wang Jin'nan, a chief engineer of the academy, told the AFP news agency. 'These figures all exist, but the local governments do not want us to reveal them.' Asked for an interview with The Lancet, academy officials declined, saying the matter was 'too sensitive'."

"The political implications of worsening pollution are becoming more apparent. Although it does not publish figures on the link between pollution and health, the [Chinese] government admits that respiratory diseases are the leading cause of death in China..." [Pneumonia is called THE "coronavirus" disease.]

"Such health concerns, particularly regarding cancer and birth defects thought to be caused by chemical factories, have been a major factor in a recent wave of protests. Among the latest was the demonstration last month by hundreds of people living in a Beijing suburb against plans to build a factory in their neighbourhood. But similar outbreaks [protests] are occurring nationwide on an almost weekly basis." [All the protests are gone now; key cities are locked down.]

"This situation is not unique to Beijing. Frequent dirty grey skies are taken for granted in Shanghai, Wuhan, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong...Water has suffered the same fate as air. Increasingly likely to be exploited for dams and dumpsites, it is estimated that three-quarters of the rivers running through Chinese cities are so polluted that they cannot be used for drinking or fishing."

"In 2008, it is quite possible that this authoritarian government will restrict traffic and close factories to ensure blue skies for the month of the Olympics. But it will only be a temporary fix. Unless more drastic measures are taken soon, the health costs of pollution will be paid in China for generations to come."

I can think of a more drastic measure. Claim a new virus is killing people, lock down cities and quarantine 100 million people, and shove all the news about deadly pollution far, far into the background.

Coronavirus Not A Crisis. Are Media Spreading Panic To Get Trump?

The lefist media would have you believe otherwise, but the coronavirus will not wipe out life as we know it the United States.

So says a level-headed assessment of the virus from Roy Pomeroy at Real Clear Science, as well as the latest report from the Centers for Disease Control. Indeed, it’s unlikely the virus and accompanying flu will infect or kill anywhere near the number of people that garden-variety annual flu viruses do.
So why has the leftist media hit the panic button? According to some, it’s to give the Democrat presidential candidate a weapon with which to beat Trump, and perhaps, slow down the roaring stock market. In other words, to hurt President Trump.
The Latest
CDC’s latest reports offers these two statements about coronavirus, also known as COVID19:
• For the general American public, who are unlikely to be exposed to this virus at this time, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low.
• People in communities where ongoing community spread with the virus that causes COVID-19 has been reported are at elevated though still relatively low risk of exposure.
So far, CDC says, 10 states have reported 43 cases resulting in 17 hospitalization and two deaths. Those figures do not include those who contracted the disease overseas.
Although “it’s likely that at some point, widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States will occur,” that “sobering” assessment of the “grave pathogenic threat,” as Pomeroy observed, is no reason to panic.
Pomery reported that “the number of cases in China is already falling significantly” and that “vast majority of cases are mild, and the death rate is likely lower than reported.”
More importantly, Pomeroy added, “the world already survived another pandemic just ten years ago.”
Between April 2009 and April 2010, there were approximately 60.8 million cases, 274,304 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths in the United States alone! Globally, it likely infected between 700 million and 1.4 billion people, resulting in 150,000 to 575,000 fatalities. While this loss of life was tragic, more than a decade later, many scarcely remember Swine Flu. The same will hopefully happen with COVID-19.
And yet those figures did not approach the infection or mortality rates of, again, garden-variety seasonal flu.
“Widespread transmission” of those viruses occurs annually. The 2018-2019 flu season in the United States alone, CDC reported, ended with 35,520,883 cases that sent 16,520,350 to the doctor, another 490,561 to the hospital, and another 34,157 to the cemetery.
Almost all those who died, 91.4 percent, were older than 50 years, and 74.8 percent were older than 65.
Worldwide, the flu kills up to 650,000 people, some estimates say.
The Media
Yet the leftist media are suggesting Trump is ignoring a major threat to humanity in general and American in particular.
Reported Mother Jones:
Trump’s germophobia, xenophobia, and persecution complex had coalesced into a message: This overblown scare will soon be a memory.
As much as we’d all like for that to be true, the coronavirus doesn’t seem to be cooperating just yet. Late Friday officials in the three West Coast states announced three new cases, none of which could be explained by overseas travel or contact with someone who had traveled overseas, the New York Times reported.
“If we were worried yesterday, we are even more worried today,” Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told the Times. “Now we have to ask: How widely, really widely, is this virus out there?”
The New Yorker reported that Trump is not only a weak sister on the coronavirus, offering only an “anti-globalist response to a global coronavirus” but also a public health threat himself because he “has worked tirelessly to limit funding, dismantle teams of experts, and interrupt nearly any strategic-planning initiative necessary to defend the country against the type of inevitable biological assault that we now face.”
“Trump's coronavirus strategy faces new scrutiny after second US death,” warned CNN.
“The White House coronavirus task force is expressing ‘great concern’ there will be more person-to-person transmissions of the disease after two deaths on American soil — a message that strongly contrasts with President Donald Trump’s earlier rosy forecasts about the situation,” the hate-Trump network continued.
“Coronavirus crisis underlines eight of Trump’s failings as a leader,” another CNN headline claimed.
Yet the data suggest that coronavirus isn’t anything close to a crisis: 43 cases, 17 hospitalization, two deaths.
Why are the media bashing Trump? A headline in the New York Times provides an answer: “A Virus Spreads, Stocks Fall, and Democrats See an Opening to Hit Trump.”
Look at the numbers. Look at the reporting. Draw your own conclusion.

How dare poor brainwashed Greta and her gang for neglecting to mention China as the huge world polluter of land, air and sea.
