There appears to be a dark chapter of public health and the COVID restrictions that has come to an end. And it is the, this is at NHS. That's the National Health Service in the UK. Here's the headline out of here. And then I can explain it a little more. NHS boss orders hospitals to ditch all remaining COVID visiting restrictions as she says no patient should be should have to be alone. Now to me, I thought there still have restrictions on them. Oh my gosh.

I know. Well, what happened, you know, reading this article on March 2021, NHS put some guidelines out. And it allowed patients to have two visitors for about an hour. That's March 2021. This thing was still going on. And so a survey by the mail online found that a lot of the hospitals were not abiding by that. They were just sticking to the strict no visitor policy, which is terrible. So I guess the NHS boss had to make it very explicit and say remove all restrictions.

And that's also what happened in Florida with Governor Ron DeSantis doing some great work out there. He actually put it into law. I can't believe we actually have to put into law this basic tenant of humanity. But here's the law. It's no patient left alone. And this requires health care providers to allow visitors, even during an emergency for like end of life situations, labor, delivery. And it's interesting, too.

They also say for to feed drinking and eating from family or caregivers, they have to be able to be let in to have this happen. And I know we've covered that a lot of times in the past. That's one of the end of life pathways that people go on. without really their consent. So a family member can intervene with this with this act, at least in Florida. So that's a good news thing. But let's move on to some vaccine science here.

This is out of the Journal of the American Medical Association. That's JAMA. And this is a study looking at Cornell University titled Routine Surveillance and Vaccination on a university campus during the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Amacron variants. Remember that is the highly contagious variant. And it says here, Cornell University opened for residential instruction in fall of 2021, using an extensive testing, contact tracing, an isolation program in partnership with the Tompkins County Health Department. Then this goes on and say what they did. Vaccination was mandated

for all students and encouraged for employees. Masks were required on campuses. And isolation orders and contact tracing occurred within hours of any positive result. Basically every lockdown measure allowed outside of Shanghai, China was put on this closed container campus. This is what the researchers found. They write, from November 28 to December 31st, 2797, COVID-19 cases were identified. They say 89% of them were students, 11% were employees, eclipsing previously measured incidences. Most cases, 82.2% reported mild symptoms, no reported hospitalizations, despite high vaccination rates. This is the college campus, 97.9% off campus, sorry, 98.6% of cases were breakthrough infections and proportionately proportionality more named close contacts who became

COVID positive in this period 22.6 than previously they said 4.4% between August 23rd, November 27. So what they're saying there again, 98.6 of the cases they found were breakthrough infections, vaccine failure. Remember, we were told that the vaccines were 95.6% effective at stopping this disease. So this is showing that although you put all these restrictions on, not only didn't, stop the restrictions the cases for the kids but they're talking about close contacts who became COVID positive 22.6 of them were also getting this. I mean it's amazing because it's such a great actual controlled study on a university like that because you don't have like people, well, I had to go to work and I'm interacting with all these other people and then there's my job. I mean, you really have a

very controlled environment there where for the most part these students live there, they eat there, they sleep there, they study there. And so there's not a whole lot of outside, you know, interactions, at least not the way there would be anywhere else you would try to do a study like this. And to see that level of failure, not only 98.6% breakthrough in the vaccinated, but then who they're spreading it to was mostly the vaccinated that we're catching it. And so just, yeah, it feels redundant in some ways, but I think to myself, we listen to their mantra and their, you know,

repetition of how great this thing is, which is a total lie. slowly they've sort of weaned themselves off of saying it's great now as well it's at least 60% of it well it's left than 50 but you know that's better than nothing and well you know you're probably going to catch it no matter what but at least it reduces your symptoms oh well maybe the fourth shot maybe destroys your immune system or you know makes your immune system shut down I mean it's just it's incredible how they've just had to just slowly this slide into the sludge and sewage of their own lies while we've been able to just maintain the truth but this campus proves it once again here we are the truth that's right and you know at a time when you know the

bill gates of the world are out there going we need more money to do these lockdowns bigger next time across the whole world let's hit one more piece of this you know inconvenient lockdown truth we'll call it and people during the lockdown we're saying this question why are liquor stores open this was the headline just to remind people this was in march 2020 why are liquor stores considered essential during covid 19 pandemic here are five reasons liquor stores continue to thrive despite the pandemic a A lot of people have kind of scratched our heads at that, but now we have data. You know, it's not a surprise, but we have the data here to see this. And this is in JAMA once again.

Here's the study. This was published just last week. Evaluation of trends in alcohol use disorder related mortality in the U.S. and during the COVID-19 pandemic. And it says here, in this cross-sectional study, we used data from 2012, so then went way back to 2019 to project 2020 and 2021 mortality rates and found that alcohol use disorder related mortality rates increased among all ages and sexes during the pandemic. Not a good trend, but here's even a further trend to look at here because we've been talking about

that age group, a 25 to 44, what's been happening? Why are, why are there's so many deaths in this age group? Well, this may answer some of the questions, not all of them, but some of them tragically. It says here the authors write, the youngest age group, 25 to 44 years demonstrated the largest increase in alcohol use disorder mortality. 40.47% in 2020, first 33.9%. 5% in 2021 across all age groups. And we have this chart here from the actual study. And you can see here, 2012, you have just over four mortality per 100,000. And then you're going all the way up to 2020. That little dash line is what it was supposed to be, what it was projected. The rest of that light blue is

what it was. And at the top, a lot of people say, well, those are the covert deaths. At the top, those dark, that dark shaded part are the COVID deaths. So something else is causing this. the government lockdown restrictions look like it may be the case. And this is, this is why when people ask me about monkeypox lockdowns, right. The people have a lot of answering to do before we can go back down into a monkey pox that, you know, is not this, this extremely contagious viral airborne thing. So that's, that's my point on that.
