Do I Have The #Coronapocalypse Antibodies?

=====================

Well, I have good news and I have bad news.
First, the bad news. My #Coronapocalypse antibody test came back negative, so, according to this test (which can give false positives and/or negatives), I have not had Coronapocalypse yet.
And the good news, you ask? After more than 18 months of licking doorknobs, going without a mask, not living my life in fear, doing everything that I wanted to do (for the most part), I did not catch this so-called highly contagious virus that 35 million other Americans have tested positive for in the U.S.
Of course, even after 18 months, with 35 million known positive tests, which is slightly more than 10% of the population, that further shows this isn't as "highly contagious" as the fearmongers would have the fearful believe it is.
In my readings so far, I have learned that there are two types of antibodies that form protection in two different parts of your body. There are mucous membrane antibodies that form in the mucous layers of the nose, mouth, etc. and those are the best antibodies to have as they stop the virus at the entry point. These are the antibodies that people who have actually had Covid develop. And there are the antibodies that reside in the rest of the body (from the vaccine) that still provide protection but also still allow someone to get Covid and be able to infect others, while not developing full-blown Covid.
SNIP - Neurologist explains why unvaccinated previously infected people are less likely to spread COVID than never-infected vaccinated people
Americans have received countless mixed messages about the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, natural immunity, herd immunity, and virus transmission. Dr. Michael Segal, a neurologist and neuroscientist, wrote a piece for the Wall Street Journal attempting to clear up some misconceptions about how immunity works when it comes to the vaccines and natural immunity.

And he reached a conclusion that should pique the interest of millions of Americans — as well as policymakers: People who have had COVID-19 and recovered should not be required to get the vaccine, because they are less likely to spread the virus than vaccinated people who have never been infected. People who have had COVID-19 and recovered should not be required to get the vaccine, because they are less likely to spread the virus than vaccinated people who have never been infected. - END SNIP

While my test was done through Quest, which is the testing lab that my doctor uses, you can also get the test with or without a doctor through Labcorp - https://www.labcorp.com/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/individuals/antibody-test. I'm sure there are other lab facilities that can perform the test as well.

And, here is the actual report concerning my test.

This test is intended for use as an aid in identifying
individuals with an adaptive immune response to
SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection.
Results are for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 are generally detectable
in blood several days after initial infection, although
the duration of time antibodies are present post-infection
is not well characterized. At this time, it is unknown
for how long antibodies persist following infection and
if the presence of antibodies confers protective
immunity. Individuals may have detectable virus by
molecular testing present for several weeks following
seroconversion. Negative results do not preclude acute
SARS-CoV-2 infection. This test should not be used to
diagnose acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. If acute infection
is suspected, direct testing by molecular methods for
SARS-CoV-2 is necessary. False positive results for the
test may occur due to cross-reactivity from pre-existing
antibodies or other possible causes.
Please review the "Fact Sheets" available for health
care providers and patients using the following websites:
This test has been authorized by the FDA under an
Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for use by authorized
laboratories. The FDA authorized labeling is available

Fake Memes Made By Your Enemy To Make You Look Stupid -- Don't Fall For Them!!!

This started several years ago as social media became more prominent and so many people started getting their news (and so much fake news) from social media.  Every group from political parties to foreign countries creates "fake news" memes in hopes of ignorant victims spreading the memes because they believe the meme and it fits their narrative.

Here is one I saw on #Fakebook this morning.


I'm not sure if Frank J. McCall is a creator of fake memes or he just fell for one since it fit his beliefs narrative but there is no such story with these numbers on Fox News Channel and these are not the available numbers from the CDC either.  (P.S. - Adding "Real" to your social media name does not make you real. :P )

Yes, the flu is down the past year which is natural because kids weren't going to school, parents weren't going to work, etc. -- but it's not down that much.

The latest CDC numbers show that the estimated flu deaths for the 2020-2021 season are 92% of the 2019-2020 season for one type of pediatric flu -- but they still are working on estimated figures for the 2019-202 season and will not likely have final numbers for a while.  They aren't even attempting to put out estimates for 2020-2021.  From https://www.foxnews.com/health/amid-covid-19-pandemic-flu-has-disappeared-in-the-us

Does AstraZeneca Covid-19 Vaccine Have Aborted Fetal Tissue DNA In It?

By: Leonard Lenny Vasbinder
January 31, 2021

This version of the #Coronapocalypse Covid-19 vaccine is not yet approved in the U.S. and AstraZeneca may have held off applying in the U.S. based on allegations made in the below video -- that was when pro-life President Trump was in office.  The video was made in Australia and according to the first link below from Business Insider, the vaccine was approved for much of Europe, Australia, and other countries outside of the U.S.

Now that the pro-abortion gang is in control, AstraZeneca will likely move forward with requesting rushed approval for the vaccine.

My understanding for the reason this video hasn't been widely seen on #Fakebook and #Twatter is that they deemed it a false story, as written about in the second link below from Reuters.

2020 Death Rates Mirror Previous Years -- No Big Increase Related To Covid-19

 By:  Leonard Lenny Vasbinder

==============

I've written about this many times and posted on Facebook and other social media dozens of times but here are the total numbers of U.S. deaths by age group for 2018 and 2019 just to show that 2020 wasn't much different -- and incredibly, a slightly higher percentage of the 55 and over age groups died in 2018/2019 compared to 2020, even though 92% of Covid-19 deaths are for the 55 and over age groups.

But, just like in all the previous years, the age groups from 0 - 24 were a tiny fraction (<1%) of overall deaths just as they were a tiny fraction of Covid-19 deaths (<1%).  The below chart is an algorithmic scale and not a direct scale.  That is why the age groups from 0 to 24 appear to be a much larger percentage of the 85 and over group.  The 85 and over group are 13,450 out of 100,000 deaths whereas the 15 to 24 are 70 out of 100 deaths (see bottom scale). This algorithmic scale is also why the 85 and over group with 13,450 is not more than three times longer than the next group, 75 to 84, with 4,306.


The dark blue line is 2018 but you can see that 2018 and 2019 are basically the same.

85 and over = 13,450 per 100,000
75 to 84 = 4,306 per 100,000
65 to 74 = 1,783 per 100,000
55 to 64 = 886 per 100,000
45 to 54 = 395 per 100,000
35 to 44 = 194 per 100,000
25 to 35 = 128 per 100,000
15 to 24 = 70 per 100,000
5 to 14 = 13 per 100,000
1 to 4 = 24 per 100,000

Crunching those numbers, 20,425 for 55 and over out of a total of  21,249.  For 2020, the alleged deaths attributed to Covid-19 are 92% for 55 and over.  For 2018, 92% of 21,249 = 19, 549 meaning a higher percentage of people 55 and over died in 2018 than in 2020.  Of course, we do not have final numbers for 2020 so the comparison is based on preliminary data for 2020.

This next CDC chart shows that Flu Deaths are dramatically decreased for 2020.  Why?  Well, some experts will conclude that many of the alleged Covid-19 deaths were actually flu deaths miscategorized or re-categorized?  For 2020, all deaths involving influenza totaled only 8,906 compared to 22,000 to 61,000 flu deaths a year for the previous 10 years.  Some experts conclude that the flu deaths went down due to people wearing masks.  Other experts conclude that because the tests for Covid-19 were as high as 50% wrong, many flu deaths were simply listed as Covid-19 deaths.

#Coronapocalypse Update -- You Won't See This On The Left-Leaning Lame Stream Media (LSM) -- Fearmongering And Fake Reporting Proven!!!

Editorial By:  Leonard Lenny Vasbinder

Thanks for shopping through my store. I do earn a very small commission on your purchases but it doesn't cost you anything extra.

=====================

I've written many times on Facebook (a/k/a/ #Fakebook) about the total death numbers being basically the same as any other year even with the nearly 270,000 alleged Covid-19 deaths.  I have also written about how Covid-19 deaths are overwhelmingly affecting the older age brackets, 55 and older, with 91% of deaths in those age brackets.  82% of deaths are for 65 and older.  

Only 9% of deaths are for the age brackets from birth thru 54 years of age with a fraction of 1% of the total deaths for the age groups thru 24 years of age -- meaning school and college-age groups have a near-zero rate of death.  

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as of November 21, 2020, only 515 out of the total of 240,213 deaths are for age groups birth through 24 years of age.  https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

In America, 2.8 million people died in 2018, the latest annual report from the CDC https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm.  IF, and that's a BIG IF, the actual Covid-19 deaths are 270,000, that is less than a 10% increase in total deaths BUT, and that's a BIG BUT, the total deaths for 2020 have NOT increased by 10% and are basically staying on track for what the 2020 death projections were in 2019, long before any mention of Covid-19 and #Coronapocalypse.

These same death rate percentages apply to these age brackets in non-Covid-19 years which unfortunately illustrates and highlights the fact that older people die at a much higher rate than younger people.

Here is an article in The Blaze online news -- https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz-hopkins-analysis-showing-covid-19-has-relatively-no-effect-on-deaths-in-us-retracted  HEADLINE -- Horowitz: Hopkins analysis showing COVID-19 has 'relatively no effect on deaths' in US retracted from publication. Why?

SNIP - Last week, the Johns Hopkins News-Letter, a student newspaper, posted an article by Yanni Gu titled, "A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19." It was based on an analysis conducted by Dr. Genevieve Briand, an economics teacher at Hopkins. I originally saw the article on Thanksgiving morning and quickly saw this very catchy conclusion. "These data analyses suggest that in contrast to most people's assumptions, the number of deaths by COVID-19 is not alarming. In fact, it has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States."

When I clicked on it Thursday night, the link was dead. - END SNIP

While the article first appeared in the student newspaper for Johns Hopkins, it was quickly taken down but not before the Internet Wayback Machine was able to archive the article.  https://web.archive.org/web/20201126163323/https://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2020/11/a-closer-look-at-u-s-deaths-due-to-covid-19

SNIP - From mid-March to mid-September, U.S. total deaths have reached 1.7 million, of which 200,000, or 12% of total deaths, are COVID-19-related. Instead of looking directly at COVID-19 deaths, Briand focused on total deaths per age group and per cause of death in the U.S. and used this information to shed light on the effects of COVID-19.

She explained that the significance of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths can be fully understood only through comparison to the number of total deaths in the United States. 

After retrieving data on the CDC website, Briand compiled a graph representing percentages of total deaths per age category from early February to early September, which includes the period from before COVID-19 was detected in the U.S. to after infection rates soared. 

Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data. In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same. - END SNIP

Here is my article where I posted basically the same thing back on July 01, 2020.  https://lennysnewsandviews.blogspot.com/2020/07/coronapocalypse-daily-thread-july-1-2020.html

#Coronapocalypse Daily Update - June 24, 2020

#Coronapocalypse Daily Thread, June 24, 2020
Just because people test positive for Covid-19 does NOT mean they are getting sick. Over 80% of positive cases are very mild to completely asymptomatic. 15% have mild to moderate symptoms. 5% are hospitalized.
The average age of deaths is 72. 92% of deaths are people over 55 and 85% are over 65. Upwards of 60% were people in nursing homes, senior care facilities, and hospitals, with preexisting health issues.
The overwhelming majority of people without health issues have had extremely low numbers of even testing positive or getting sick.
The death rate is barely 5% of the original projection.
In other words, it has been severely overhyped and fearmongered -- and it's pathetic how so many otherwise intelligent people are acting like complete dumbasses over this.
I almost forgot -- 2.8 million people die every year in the U.S. That's 7,671 deaths a day without Covid-19. Covid-19 may actually lower the death rate this year, especially in the under 65 age brackets.
