The word vaccine is meaningless without providing a good TITER. Vaccine trials have to prove it produces an effective titer.

Titer and Vaccination Explanations (click here) – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY (it’ll save you time/$$) Serum titers are blood tests that measure whether or not you are immune to a given disease(s). More specifically a quantitative serum titer is a titer with a numerical value indicating your actual degree of immunity to a disease(s). The clinical sites you may visit or be working at require documented proof of immunity in the form of quantitative titers – simply getting the vaccination is not enough. Therefore when titers are drawn they must be quantitative titers, and you must provide copies of the official laboratory printouts containing the numerical values for Mumps, Measles, Rubella, Varicella, and Hep B immunity (see examples of a sample lab result on the following page)....

Below is the tried and true standard for obtaining titers. This is what Dr. Redfield is looking at to determine the safety and effectiveness of any vaccine.  

...4. Once vaccinated, titers should not be drawn until 6-8 weeks after the vaccination.

Why? 

If drawn too soon afterwards, the titers will indicate non-immunity as the vaccine will still be in your system. Don’t make the mistake of getting a titer drawn prematurely in order to meet the deadline. Please contact us if this is your situation so that we can work with you....

Donald John Trump is a criminal in attacking the experts at the CDC. He is willing to put people in danger.

I applaud Dr. Redfield for stating the mask is 100 percent safe whereby vaccinations may only be 70 percent safe.

We are very lucky to have masks that work to protect our lives. The reality is that a mask, while not an N95 mask, is still preferred to nothing.

That blue mask in the picture is exactly the same mask that surgeons and operating room nurses wear or better said, did wear into surgery. The reason was to protect the patient's surgical wound from contamination.

Now, the PPE for nurses and doctors is far more complicated because the virus is easily passed on to others from patients. In the light of SARS-CoV-2 the need by hospital professionals is different and they have added goggles and a face shield. 

But, before this particular virus, that blue mask was the "go to" mask for surgeons and the operating room staff. It worked well and now it is still working well to protect the American people. Whoever made the original suggestion was genius. It is a perfectly good barrier to infection and no one should ever doubt it.

Anyone, including the president, that contradicts Dr. Redfield is committing a criminal act that endangers Americans. The American people need the full approval of the FDA before they will trust a vaccine. There is a lot of apprehension among Americans because they feel their president is cutting corners that will lead to their health problems and they are correct. All this time the people that have contracted COVID-19 could have been safe from it if mask wearing was as widespread as Trump's propaganda.

September 16, 2020

President Trump claimed (click here) at a press briefing on Wednesday that CDC director Robert Redfield was wrong when he testified to Congress that a coronavirus vaccine won't be available for widespread distribution until the second or third quarter of 2021.

Why it matters: Trump has already faced criticism for allegations that his administration has politicized the coronavirus response and is seeking rapid approval and distribution of a vaccine in order to boost his re-election campaign.

Trump went on later in the briefing to say Redfield was wrong when he said that masks are "more guaranteed" to protect against the coronavirus than a vaccine: "As far as the masks are concerned, he made a mistake."

The president's contradiction of Redfield, who he said was probably "confused," may further erode public trust.

The big picture: A vaccine has not been submitted for the FDA to review, and even that may not happen by Trump's aggressive October estimate for distribution. Whenever a vaccine is approved, it will take several more months to manufacture enough of it to even begin vaccinating the general public....

He is the chosen one.

He is the Qanon chosen one. Trump is a crackpot. What does being the chosen one have to do with Chinese espionage? Is Barr working on the Austin Steinbart case? Why was he on probation?

It looks like the "Daily Beast" has been following this dangerous group.

...Steinbart’s arrest (click here) marks just the latest time a QAnon believer has been charged with a crime. Two others have been charged with murder, including one accused of murdering the head of the Gambino crime family. The conspiracy theory has also surfaced in two child kidnapping plots, and a 2018 terrorist incident near the Hoover Dam....

The "Deep State" is the only excuse the group has to justify its past and current legal status. It is so difficult to believe a president of the USA would indulge a group of criminals. This is his base. Trump is more than an extremist, he is a danger to this country. He probably will sign pardons to all the members of Qanon now in prison and jail should he be re-elected.

In days gone by in the USA, in the 1980s, these groups existed as terrorist groups. The one group that comes to mind is "The United Freedom Front." These were domestic terrorists (click here). United Freedom Front members, one being Thomas Manning (click here) assassinated State Police Officer Philip Lamonaco on Interstate 80 in New Jersey.

The groups of those days blamed the "Deep State" then, too. They (click here) didn't call it that, but, basically, it amounted to that. A famous person named Patty Hearst was kidnapped from her family and brainwashed about the evil intent of the government. She eventually would be arrested and returned to her family. That is the sort of thing that reminds me of Qanon.

Basically, it is a group of people that have attached themselves to an American billionaire that is not above corruption. Trump is a very corrupt person and very corruptible. He and his family pursue all these peripheral groups and FAD interests to bring them on as their base. That dynamic is wrong and quite possibly criminal when considering who these people are regardless of the innocent Americans captured/kidnapped through media corruption by people like David Pecker.

There is an entire segment of the USA population that completely rejects what is now known as "Mainstream Media." Those people, in my opinion, have been captured as hostages for their votes. They do not have even "low information" to formulate their votes, they have no information except for the entertainment industry that brings them false ideas about life. I think the lack of information has placed poor or low-income white men at risk for this level of exploitation.

It is definitely an exploitation of unwitting Americans. An example of that is Cesar Sayoc. He bought it all. The lies, the hypermasculine ideology about fighting against the Deep State, and the violence. Trump comes across as a real person that can be counted on to change the reality of the impoverished. Here is a billionaire that has come to the hard-working people as a savior to their own reality.

I think Qanon is a dangerous domestic terrorist group seeking to control outcomes of their agenda and members. Domestic terrorists is more than bombs. It is also about dismantling the USA democracy through cyber threats instilling fear and isolating people into a false reality.

Is there any doubt that African American men have been and are at risk for police brutality? Why is Trump denying that reality? Political manipulation of the truth for his own benefit, that's why. Michael Brown's heinous death often plays in my heart. As far as I am concerned Trump is a member of Qanon.

There is only one reason to isolate, lie, and deceive Americans and that is to divide the country and cause dangerous confrontation between the people. Trump is the ringmaster of this violent circus.

The people and the USA military need USGS to REASSESS the stability of the Gulf Coast. Florida knows what sinkholes are all too well. This is not fast-moving storms that cause flash flooding, these are sustained rains that cause saturation of the land. Sand will settle when water starts to recede. Sand can "bridge" leaving unknown caverns below the land. 

It is just time. It has been years now that the coastal areas from Texas to North Carolina have received sustained rains with high winds and flooding. The entire region needs to be reassessed for instability.

This is the second or third year that the USA military had catastrophic storms hit their stations along the Gulf Coast.

Washington - Gulf Coast military installations (click here) from Mississippi to the Florida Panhandle were bracing Tuesday evening for the impact of slow-moving Hurricane Sally, which forecasters warned could drop record, life-threatening rainfall on the region in the coming days.

The Category 1 storm was expected to make landfall near the Mississippi-Alabama border late Tuesday or early Wednesday, according to the National Hurricane Center. Late Tuesday, Hurricane Sally was moving at about 2 mph in a slightly northeastern direction, threatening to cause flooding at military posts including Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi, and Naval Air Station Pensacola, Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field in Florida.

National Hurricane Center forecasters on Tuesday had issued hurricane warnings along the Gulf Coast from Bay St. Louis in Mississippi to Navarre in Florida. They warned the slow-moving nature of the storm could bring “historic life-threatening” storm surge and flash flooding to locations in those areas....

Hurricane Sally, (click here) a slow-moving catastrophe that was dropping historic amounts of rain on the Florida Panhandle and southeast Alabama, has put downtown Pensacola under three feet of water.

The storm came ashore at the Alabama-Florida line on Wednesday as a Category 2 hurricane and was pummeling the U.S. Gulf Coast with rain totals measured in feet, life-threatening storm surge and dangerous flooding.

And still more rain was expected as Sally inches slowly inland through Thursday, the National Hurricane Center said.

“Historic and catastrophic flooding, including widespread moderate to major river flooding, is unfolding,” the hurricane center said in the 11 a.m. Wednesday public advisory about the hurricane....

Every one of those glowing orbs contains a prophecy. A completely different prophecy. Caputo opened an orb. There is medication for that.

 I just couldn't help myself. It is a powerful scene. I know, I am a Potter fan.

Having Qanon backing Trump sounds interesting.

Qanon has been trying to state they are running down pedophilia as part of the Deep State. If the Deep State isn't fighting the crime of pedophilia, Qanon is the savior of us all. Well, Q's savior in Trump will prove to be problematic when it comes to fighting pedophilia.

...“He just came strolling right in,” (click here) Dixon said. “There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Others girls were naked. Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half-naked changing into our bikinis.”

Dixon went on to say that employees of the Miss Universe Organization encouraged the contestants to lavish Trump with attention when he came in. “To have the owner come waltzing in, when we’re naked, or half-naked, in a very physically vulnerable position and then to have the pressure of the people that worked for him telling us to go fawn all over him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention…”

Now, Trump is texting that Joe Biden is a pedophile. One of the best ways to deflect accusations Trump has accumulated during the days with Miss Teen America and being friendly with Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is to accuse others. Certainly, if accusing others makes the accuser innocent. I would think a lawsuit for such slander should begin against Trump. But, people like Joe Biden are forgiving in the name of politics.

Do different than Trump's commutations and pardons, he reached out to Maxwell after her arrest. He wanted to let her know he believes this is all unfair and his pardon pen is ready.

By Meagan Vazquez

Washington - President Donald Trump (click here) is now saying that he wished Ghislaine Maxwell well after she was arrested because he doesn't want her to die in jail like her former boyfriend and alleged accomplice, Jeffrey Epstein.

In an interview with "Axios on HBO" that aired Monday night, Trump was asked why he wished Maxwell well when she's been arrested on allegations of child sex trafficking.

"Well, first of all you don't know that," Trump said to the allegations of child sex trafficking. "Her friend or boyfriend (Epstein) was either killed or committed suicide. She's now in jail. Yeah, I wish her well. I'd wish you well.

I'd wish a lot of people well. Good luck. Let them prove somebody was guilty."

Maxwell is charged with enticement and conspiracy to entice minors, as young as 14, to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, transportation and conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and two counts of perjury. She has denied any wrongdoing....

From an objective viewpoint, (click here) QAnon conspiracy theories are not exactly batting a thousand.

It does not appear to have been true, for example, that John F. Kennedy Jr. faked his death and masqueraded as bearded Trump supporter Vincent Fusca so that he could reveal his true identity at President Trump’s Fourth of July celebration, where he was to replace Vice President Pence as Trump’s running mate.

Neither does it seem to be the case that Austin Steinbart, a man many once believed to be “Q,” had prophetic insight into the inner workings of the U.S. government because he received messages from his future self through quantum computing. Steinbart, recently jailed for violating the terms of his pre-trial release on extortion charges, had in his possession a prosthetic penis called a “Whizzinator” used for falsifying drug tests, the Daily Beast’s Will Sommer reports.

Nor was Hillary Clinton imprisoned in October 2017, as Q had promised — though it cannot be ruled out that the real Clinton, as some QAnon adherents hold, was indeed arrested and the one walking free today is a clone....

I guess the chant came from the QAnon conspiracy. The BASELESS chant is a conspiracy prophecy. "The heart of this new movement..." is based in prophecy? Really? Not only do Americans have a new movement, but, so does the Republican Party. Wow. The GOP is now a prophecy based political organization. The USA doesn't need prophecy, it needs scientists.

Where is the EPA?

The USA needs a lesson out of the lives of the Chinese. The Chinese frequently wear masks WHEN THEY CAN SEE THE AIR. WHITE AIR. It chokes them and they need masks, but, not the same kind of masks that serve as a good face covering for the virus. The masks Americans need outside are "particulate masks with a filter."

That is why the EPA should be in the country MEASURING the PARTICULATE SIZE in the smoke throughout the country. A lot of Americans understand particulate masks when they are involved in home renovation or using spray paint. Those masks may not be enough in ending the assault of the CONTAMINATED AIR. 

I guarantee you, there are hospital emergency rooms flooded with children with asthma. There are adults there as well. Asthma can become very severe and people are on ventilators to help them breath.

If parents want to protect their children outside, it means using a particulate mask that works to prevent inhalation of the contamination. Here again, the O2 (click here) mask has a strong filter that takes care of that problem.

Now, that smoke is going to make it into every home along the way. The thing is this, the contamination will be mostly invisible rather than white air. Homes will filter the air as it exchanges with the outside, so the CONCENTRATION of the white air is less, that doesn't mean the contaminants are less. Every home in the USA will need a home air purifier until the contamination stops.

EPA under Trump will probably deny any need for special masks or that asthma is a problem for hospitals or that there is a need for home air purifiers. I fully expect the US EPA under Trump to do nothing but DENY and/or diminish the seriousness of the air contamination. WHAT IS NEEDED BY THE EPA and these are the people that work in the field, not from Washington, DC; IS A MEASUREMENT OF THE PARTICULATE SIZE OF THE CONTAMINATION. The size of the particulates will determine the degree of filtration needed by Americans both inside their home environment and outside.

Until provided by car manufacturers in the owner's manual wear particulate masks in the car. Not just the driver, but, all people in the car. Perhaps even "Spot" may need a mask if the dog will wear one.

CAR OR TRUCK AIR CONDITIONERS MAY NOT FILTER ALL OF THAT CONTAMINATION.

I am not endorsing any product. As a matter of fact, I do not have this product in my home. Most of the time there are Air Purifiers that are reasonably priced with good shopping.

ALWAYS BEWARE OF FRAUD AND THE HYSTERIA THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT. Buying poor products or falling for fear-driven products could lead to problems without achieving the protection consumers are looking for in their hard-earned money expenditures.

Deal with reputable people and stores, online or otherwise.

ProtonPure (click here) ended up being leagues ahead of all the other air purifiers we tried..

It passed every test with flying colors, including the most important one – purifying air at home to improve our health and well being.

Much of ProtonPure’s killer benefits are due to the advanced, ultrasonic HEPA technology it uses, which has never been seen in an air purifier until now. The other devices need to take note – this is the technology we need in 2020.

Under controlled testing, ProtonPure destroyed more harmful germs and bacteria than any other device, eliminating over 99% of them in just a few minutes. For such a small device, the results were remarkable to say the least....

"Pay as you go" means those with illness have the expense.

Trump has no health care plan on paper, as there was the ACA. There are no contractual involvement.

Please don't give him the benefit of the doubt. He is an extremist.

There is a movement within some states to remove insurance payments for major diagnostic tools, such as a CT Scan. Clinics with these scans are stating, "It only costs $300.00." They point out that payments by customers with health care insurance can reach $300.00 anyway with co-pays, etc. They are advocating "pay as you go" and not a formal CONTRACTUAL plan.

There are frequently advertisements to consumers for diagnostic services that cost less than $200. They do all sorts of tests based on THE REQUEST for testing, not the INDICATION for testing.

It is my opinion that is why Trump isn't releasing a plan because if he were to get a second term and possibly a third, he will end contractual health care insurance policies.

I might add, Russia conducts medical procedures to "the herd." The best example was laser surgery to eyes to eliminate the need and cost of eyeglasses. The "Pay as You Go" method is not different, just based on capitalism. People will fear they need the testing and will seek it regardless of indications. "The herd" will respond out of fear. Profits will be made.

Who are the investors to United Launch Alliance? It is never clear if Russia and/or China oligarches are involved at some level.

United Launch Alliance (click here)

It is worrisome when a major and trusted company simply drops out of a program. The Space Force is a new entity in the military and it is troubling it is carrying this level of weight with decision-makers. I am all about competition, but, this is an alarming result. Trump asked NASA if they would have a manned Mars mission in his four years. I am concerned there are shortcuts being pushed for whatever reason the politicians decide are important.

What also worries me is the very casual relationship McConnell and Trump enjoy with other countries primarily considered enemies to the USA.

Northrop Grumman (click here) says it will not continue development of the OmegA rocket after the U.S. Space Force last month picked United Launch Alliance and SpaceX as the military’s two top launch contractors over the next seven years.

A company spokesperson said Sept. 9 that Northrop Grumman is not protesting the Space Force’s decision in the National Security Space Launch competition.

“We have chosen not to continue development of the OmegA launch system at this time,” Northrop Grumman said. “We look forward to continuing to play a key role in National Security Space Launch missions and leveraging our OmegA investments in other activities across our business.”

Northrop Grumman proposed the OmegA launch system to the Pentagon in a competition for lucrative contracts to haul national security satellites into orbit. Blue Origin, SpaceX, and United Launch Alliance were the other competitors....

Trump is the irresponsible reason for the season.

How many decision-makers are involved with the Republican Party? And did Trump call his usual game ball that he would withhold funds, such as grants and loans if the season didn't happen? That is Trump's favorite leverage point, if so and so doesn't do thus and such they will lose their federal money.

Parents and players are not happy. What are they starting a season for when their own players don't want to play? Makes no sense. It is well known that the virus will damage the heart and other areas of the body with micro-clots. An athlete is their mind, body, and strength. This decision is irresponsible.

...President Trump has advocated (click here) that the Big Ten, which spans multiple states critical to his reelection campaign, return to play as soon as possible. He spoke with Warren earlier this month, with both Trump and the Big Ten describing the call as a “productive conversation.” The conference then reiterated in a statement that the presidents and chancellors “are exhausting every resource to help student-athletes get back to playing the sports they love, at the appropriate time, in the safest and healthiest way possible.”...

...In the Big Ten, the counties of six schools — Penn State, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan State and Nebraska — are averaging more than 30 new cases per 100,000 people per day, according to Washington Post data....

...Schneider is one of many cardiovascular experts concerned about the nascent, growing body of evidence about how covid-19 affects the heart. The studies have not focused on athletes, but their findings have implications for the sports world. Research raises the possibility that athletes who recover from covid-19 may face dire or lasting heart complications, and medical experts have urged cardiac screening for athletes returning to play after contracting the virus. Two high-level athletes — including the projected Opening Day starter for the Boston Red Sox — have reported heart issues in the wake of recovery from covid-19....

The NFL had to come to terms with brain concussion, it is time athletic decision-makers come to terms with the chronic COVID-19 disease that lingers past the illness.

The colleges are going to have questionable reputations after this season, because, it is almost as though the current players are disposable for those that won't be facing this disease in the future. The colleges cannot guarantee safety to their players and they are proceeding anyway. It is no different than the foolhardiness of opening campuses up in the first place. What are they thinking? Money is not a reason to place danger into student life.

When students, be they athletes are not, are exposed to the virus, it changes the trajectory of their education and lives. COVID-19 is difficult to recover from and requires months of time to be able to return to a somewhat normal life and that does not at all include those with disabilities. When is this country going to stop listening to the money handler in the Oval Office and put health and well being first?

Students have a lot on the line as opposed to decision-makers. When one student, only one, falls ill the decision-makers reputation has to be as scarred as the life their decision effected.
