Fully vaccinated Florida father, 58 – whose family said he had NO pre-existing conditions – dies of COVID-19 after spending a month in the hospital

  • Vincent Konidare, 58, North Palm Beach, died of COVID-19 on September 19 despite being fully vaccinated and having no underlying conditions
  • Konidare received the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine in March, according to his family 
  • Only 6.600, or one out of every 25,000 people who are fully vaccinated, have died of COVID-19, and many are either elderly or have a comorbidity
  • Jamie Konidare, Vincent’s wife, is urging others to get vaccinated but to also continue to take some precautions from the virus

A fully vaccinated Florida father has died from COVID-19 despite having no underlying conditions, according to his family.

Vincent Konidare, 58, of Palm Beach, Florida, passed way on September 19 after spending a month in the hospital battling the disease.

This in spite of the fact that Konidare had received the one-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in March.

*** end quote ***

How many unexplained COVID-19 vaccinated deaths are there?

Still think the “experts” understand what “We, The Sheeple” are dealing with?

Refer to the Argentinian doctor who has a “stay heathy” protocol for poor people.

HEALTH: The 1st malaria vaccine

Friday, October 15, 2021

UN endorses world’s 1st malaria vaccine as ‘historic moment’
By MARIA CHENG yesterday

*** begin quote ***

Malaria Vaccine Endorsed

The World Health Organization announced yesterday it is recommending widespread use of the first proven malaria vaccine for children in sub-Saharan Africa and other at-risk regions. Hailed as a “historic moment,” the vaccine is the first to be developed for any parasitic disease in humans.  

The drug does not provide perfect protection; a pilot program involving 800,000 children from Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi since 2019 found it reduced severe cases by 30%. It also requires a four-dose regimen, a challenge in countries with fragile medical infrastructure. A follow-up modified version of the drug, still in clinical trials, has shown efficacy above 75% in the first year after treatment.

Malaria kills more than 400,000 people each year, with more than half being African children under five. The mosquito-borne disease affects about 2,000 people in the US annually, but results in only a handful of deaths in the country. Experts predict the new vaccine could save tens of thousands of lives each year when combined with other interventions. 

*** end quote ***

Here’s a “traditional” vaccine.

It’s not perfect.  But, the cost of not having it is huge.

Unlike the Covid-19 RNA “vaccine”, it solves REAL problems with REAL percentages.

While it probably won’t be a mandatory profit make for Big Pharma, unlike the Covid-19 jab and rehabs, I see this akin to the polio vaccine where Moms will be running to get it for their children.

Maybe next year, I won’t have to donate to the Against Malaria Foundation and then I can pick another charity hoping they will accomplish their mission.  For those who want to donate, the information is below.

HEALTH: VITAMIN B12 AND ALZHEIMER’S — a possible link?

VITAMIN B12 AND ALZHEIMER’S
Posted on Sep 29, 2021, 6 p.m.

*** begin quote ***

Also, adding the vitamin to the diet only worked if the animals were deficient in B12. Giving more B12 to animals with healthy levels does not help them in any way.

*** end quote ***

“Well, I’m not a <insert your favorite credentialed professional>, I have never played one on TV, and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but here are some simple thoughts.”

Given the catastrophic effect of Alzheimer’s on any individual and the low cost in terms of money and effort to take a supplement, it seems like an easy decision.

“Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin … …” — NIH

It’s one of those things the body can easily discard when you’ve had enough.

Seems like a cheap and easy way to possible avoid a disastrous disease while the experts are figuring out why it works in worms.

GOVERNACIDE: Is the Gooferment concealing the actual number of Covid-19 vaccine injuries

Tuesday, October 12, 2021

People Injured by Covid-19 Jab Share Their Horror Stories
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2021/10/joseph-mercola/people-injured-by-covid-19-jab-share-their-horror-stories/

 — via my feedly newsfeed

*** begin quote ***

These responses are what you would call a major CLUE. As noted by one commenter, “Doesn’t sound like you’re getting the story you need judging by the vast majority of these comments about vaccine losses and side effects. Since there is such an overwhelming outpouring of vaccine reactions maybe do a story on that? There’s lots of people here to pool from it seems.”

We now also have medical insiders blowing the whistle, confirming COVID jab injuries are incredibly commonplace, and most are never reported. In an upcoming article, I will share businessman Steve Kirsch’s analysis that strongly suggests the reports in the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) is underreported by a factor of 41. This means there may actually be more than 200,000 deaths and up to 5 million COVID jab injuries.

*** end quote ***

“Well, I’m not a  <insert profession that requires a lot of study>, I have never played one on TV, and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but here are some simple thoughts.”

I’m not an “anti-vaxer”, but the Covid jab is not a “vaccine” as we know it.  For whatever reason, (i’d guess money), the Gooferment bureaucrats have redefined the word to allow the Covid jab to be considered a “vaccine”.

When I read stories like this that assert the wholesale unreliability of an Covid “stats”. I have no idea what the right stats are, what the right “treatment” is, or who to believe. 

Thus, I’ve opted to “wait and see”.  Add in some zinc, vitamins c & d, and get good sleep.  

YMMV

MONEY: The Gooferment maintains a playing filed that tilts in favor of employers over workers

Monday, October 11, 2021

https://www.cato.org/blog/new-cato/yougov-survey-health-savings-accounts

OCTOBER 6, 2021 9:11AM
New Cato/​YouGov Survey on Health Savings Accounts
By Michael F. Cannon

*** begin quote ***

Many call the “tax exclusion” for employer‐​paid health insurance premiums a tax “break.” In fact, it denies workers control over an enormous share of their earnings. It coerces workers into letting employers control roughly $1 trillion of their earnings each year as well as their health insurance. Along the way, it leaves workers vulnerable to losing coverage when they change jobs, divorce, or retire. 

*** end quote ***

Thanks to the market distortion introduced by FDR’s WW2 wage and price controls, “benefits” for employees were a way that employers could “pay” employees more without running afoul of the “law”.  

Back in the Seventies, leave at night in an AT&T datacenter watching accounting programs run, a wise old AT&T Treasury executive opened my eyes to how unfair that “benefits” were to me.  I didn’t realize that the “benefits” were more valuable to AT&T than to me.  Every benefits “expense” was a tax deduction to AT&T.  As well, all those “expenses” were added into the “rate base” used in front of the FCC and various PUCs to justify higher regulated rates.  The old exec pointed out that I was “paying” for the benefits in salary reductions.  And, the wicked kicker was that if I left my “servitude” I’d lose most and in some cases all of those “benefits”. Argh!

Now decades later, the USA has evolved to realize that while you don’t lose your car insurance if you change jobs, you do lose your “health insurance”.  (Don’t make me laugh about COBRA; who can afford those rates?)

OK, so you decide to get your own “health insurance”, and you find that expense is not tax deductible to you as an employee that has “benefits” with your master.  I meant employer.

If you have a niche that permits you, then you can become a “corporation” and the premiums for all your employees is deductible.  Just don’t have any other “employees” and you have found a loophole.  Of course, there are setup and ongoing expense to “being a corporation” but it’s no where near as much as you think.

Bottom line: The tax code needs to change to allow you to deduct your private health care insurance.  What’s good for the employer should be good for the worker!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Protesting parents are NOT domestic terrorists

PIERS MORGAN: President Biden’s attempt to criminalize complaining parents is a shameful attempt to silence dissent that’s more worthy of North Korea than the supposed land of the free
By PIERS MORGAN FOR MAILONLINE
PUBLISHED: 10:08 EDT, 6 October 2021 | UPDATED: 10:49 EDT, 6 October 2021

*** begin quote ***

Above all, I will defend to the last drop of my blood the right of any parent to want to protect their child.

In the end, isn’t that the overriding job of a parent – to keep their children from harm’s way until they’d old enough to look after themselves?

That doesn’t mean I will always agree with what a parent wants for their child.

In fact, many times I may vehemently disagree.

But I will always support their right to have an opinion on what is best for their child because nobody knows their own child better than a caring parent.

And the First Amendment of the US Constitution permits parents to express those opinions as vigorously as they want.

Yet in a stunning, and very sinister move, President Biden has apparently decided that they don’t.

*** and ***

If parents are no longer allowed a say in how their children are educated, and indeed are to be categorised as domestic terrorists for doing so, then why should they continue paying taxes to pay for that education?

President Biden has declared war on America’s parents and their right to free speech, and it’s a shameful abuse of his power. 

*** end quote ***

I understand the drive for “homeschooling”.  Unfortunately, not everyone can do that.

P.S., I can’t believe how much I’m agreeing with  PIERS MORGAN.  Which one of us is changing?

GOVERNACIDE: The Gooferment “vaccine” is a dangerous sham

Saturday, October 9, 2021

BREAKING: AI-powered DoD Data Analysis Program Named “Project Salus” SHATTERS Official Vaccine Narrative, Shows A.D.E. Accelerating in the Fully Vaccinated with Each Passing Week!
by Mike Adams
NaturalNews.com

*** begin quote ***

An AI-powered Dept. of Defense program named “Project Salus,” run in cooperation with the JAIC (Joint Artificial Intelligence Center), has analyzed data on 5.6 million Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 or older. Data were aggregated from Humetrix, a real-time data and analytics platform that tracks health care outcomes. Legal analysis from Thomas Renz of Renz-Law.com is included in a breaking video interview, below.

The alarming findings show that the vast majority of covid hospitalizations are occurring among fully-vaccinated individuals and that outcomes among the fully vaccinated are growing worse with each passing week. This appears to fit the pattern of so-called Antibody Dependent Enhancement, where the treatment intervention (mRNA vaccines) is worsening health outcomes and leading to excess hospitalizations and deaths.

These data, presented here, shatter the official Biden / Fauci narrative that falsely claims America is experiencing, “a pandemic of the unvaccinated.” The data show that the pandemic actually appears to be accelerated by covid-19 vaccines, while unvaccinated individuals are having far better outcomes than the vaccinated.

Furthermore, according to these data (shown below), the single best strategy for avoid post-vaccine infections and hospitalizations is natural immunity derived from a previous covid infection.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The Gooferment is bluffing to get people jabbed

Biden’s Vaccination Mandate: Where Are the Regulations?
BY JEFFREY A. TUCKER   OCTOBER 6, 2021

*** begin quote ***

Writer Alex Berenson has taken notice of this too and did some quick research. He found a blog that says there is no order, confirming exactly what the congressman told me. 

If there is no [private sector] mandate yet, then obviously, none of the companies are under any obligation to enforce it.

OSHA is apparently the federal agency responsible for framing a set of regulations for the mandate, including fines. But federal agencies only construct regulations after a law has been passed or an EO is issued.

If I’m correct, and no EO has been published, we have an odd situation, to say the least.

Governors and lawyers have been threatening to sue, because the EO is unconstitutional and overrides state powers. But if there is no Presidential EO, then all these legal cases would be meaningless, because, again, there is no official mandate.

Is the White House stalling? Do they realize the EO and the mandate will be overturned in court? Are they hoping to achieve corporate compliance without an official mandate?

I’ve queried several lawyers. One suggested that so far, in this situation, the feds are mandating by bluffing.

The Emperor has no clothes!

“We, The Sheeple” should reject corporate mandates that allude to “regulations” because there are none.

HEALTH: I am sure you can take Pfizermectin for Covid

Friday, October 8, 2021

*** begin quote ***

Tired: Ivermectin. Wired: Pfizermectin.

A good chunk of the hostility I’ve received over writing AxisOfEasy (so much that I’ve decided to hand it off to somebody less polarizing) is driven by the coverage of Ivermectin.

It was curious how a few weeks ago the “horse drug” narrative around Ivermectin was suddenly being amplified by the mainstream outlets, despite the fact that it’s an FDA approved drug that’s been used as an anti-parasitic for decades, and the fact that it was being used in India to combat an explosion of Delta Variant.

Now we learn that Pfizer is in clinical trials with PF-07321332, a developmental drug that acts as a “protease inhibitor” against C*V1D-19 for anybody already infected.

Oddly enough that’s exactly the claim made about Ivermectin, that it is a protease inhibitor. People tracking this are euphemistically calling Pfizer’s crack at this, “Pfizermectin.”

Read: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/pfizer-launches-final-study-covid-drug-thats-suspiciously-similar-ivermectin

One wonders if the MSM and Big Tech will conduct a wide-ranging, coordinated campaign of marginalization against Pfizer should Pfizermectin be approved and be deployed.

Kodiak the Eagle Has Been Captured After Week-Long Adventure in Pittsburgh
Preliminary veterinary tests suggest the bird is healthy and uninjured.
By George Dvorsky
Yesterday 10:03AM

On Sunday, October 3, a National Aviary team spotted Kody at a residence in Pine Township following reports of the bird loitering nearby. Using “professional falconry techniques and equipment,” the team was “able to safely retrieve Kody and bring him back home,” according to a National Aviary tweet. Apparently this entails a large net and running towards the eagle as quickly as possible.

Picking up a second language can lead to a salary increase of around 2%. It also opens up a range of new careers and could easily make a difference in a job interview. Apps like Duolingo and Memrise are free, fun, and provide a solid base for picking up an additional language. Admittedly, they can only take you so far. But it is still totally possible to achieve fluency for free if you hop on to something like Reddit’s Language Exchange and find a native speaker to help practice your skills.

When I think of all the time in my life I wasted do Quadrant 4 activities (i.e., not important and not urgent), I have an eternal regret.

“A soldier accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic of which he is a member, defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not.” — Lt. Col. Jean V. Dubois (Ret.) and student, p. 26 Starship Troopers (1959) by Robert A. Heinlein 

This resonated with me. As a VietNam era vet, I realized that only vets should vote. I lost friends in the Republic of, had friends and relatives come back “different”, and even lost my best friend who went underground to avoid the draft.

Only vets should vote, because they UNDERSTAND (I’d use the Heinlein word ‘grok’) what it means to send young women and men in “harm’s way”. When politicians and bureaucrats vote for war, I’d hand them a rifle and say “OK, Pops, you go first!”

Ivermectin, meanwhile, which has virtually no side effects and has been shown to effectively treat COVID-19, is prohibited within the DHHS. When O’Malley asks Gayle Lundberg, a DHHS pharmacist, if ivermectin can be given to a patient if the doctor is willing to prescribe it, Lundberg responds:

“I am stuck. I am told you are absolutely not to use [ivermectin] under any circumstances whatsoever for somebody with COVID, unless you don’t want to have a job. I’m not going to lose my job over this.”

“This is evil at the highest level,” O’Malley says. “You have the FDA, the CDC, that are both supposed to be protecting us, but they are under the government, and everything we’ve done so far is unscientific.”

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Eric Rudolph: 1998 Hide and Seek Champion

Jim Bovard: He Thought I Was An Undercover Fed
BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, SEP 28, 2021 – 11:25 PM
Authored by Jim Bovard via The Libertarian Institute,

*** begin quote *** 

From the early 1990s onward, I was exposing FBI crimes, lies, and cover-ups. FBI director Louis Freeh publicly denounced me after I wrote a Wall Street Journal piece on the FBI’s killing of an innocent mother holding her baby at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. I continued hammering FBI abuses in the Journal, Playboy, American Spectator, and other publications.

One of the FBI’s biggest blunders occurred when it falsely accused a hapless security guard of masterminding an explosion at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Richard Jewell heroically saved lives by detecting and removing a pipe bomb before it exploded. But the FBI decided that Jewell had actually planted the bomb and leaked that charge to the media, which proceeded to drag Jewell’s life through the dirt for eighty-eight days. The FBI did nothing to curb the media harassment long after it recognized Jewell was innocent. I flogged the FBI’s vilification of Jewell in my 2000 book, Feeling Your Pain: The Explosion and Abuse of Government Power in the Clinton-Gore Years.

*** and ***

Eric Rudolph was finally captured in 2003 by a local policeman in a small town about an hour from that hardware store. He pleaded guilty to the Atlanta bombing as well as bombings of abortion clinics and a lesbian nightclub. Shortly after Rudolph was apprehended after more than four years in the mountains, a British newspaper pointed out that the FBI’s failure to catch him illustrated “all the shortcomings of a hi-tech, militarized federal force unable to negotiate such alien, not to say hostile, territory.” 

*** and ***

Beyond the nation’s big cities and the coastlines, federal authority hinges largely on the consent of local citizens. Once that consent vanishes, FBI agents are left to sit in their cars eating their lunches all by themselves.

*** end quote ***

Maybe that’s how the Federal Gooferment fails, quiet peaceful non-cooperation?

I’ve been help rain a now four year old boy; he is  great example of why you can’t force a human being to do anything they really don’t want to do! You just ignore any demands made upon you and dare the “authority” to use force against you.  It works fine.  As long as you don’t mind a little pain along the way.  Ghandi demonstrated it on a large scale in India.

“Yes. In the end, you will walk out. Because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot control 350 million Indians, if those Indians refuse to cooperate.” — movie Gandhi (1983)

So just refuse to cooperate.

Influx of Haitian migrants pushing locals out of housing in Colombia beach town
10/1/2021, 9:42:21 PM · by blueplum · 4 repliesReuters via msn ^ | 01 October 2021 | Henry Esquivel
NECOCLI, Colombia (Reuters) – An influx of thousands of mostly Haitian migrants seeking transport northward toward the United States is pushing locals in the Colombian beach town of Necocli out of housing, residents said, as landlords favor migrants able to pay in dollars. The backlog of migrants waiting in the town for scarce places on boat transport toward the jungles of the Darien Gap in Panama, where smugglers guide groups northward on foot, has swelled to up to 19,000 after the lifting of COVID-19 border closures…. Even commercial properties are being re-purposed….

*** begin quote ***

As Right to Repair legislation garners support from both sides of the political aisle, Apple is doubling down on its anti-consumer practices. A now-complete teardown from iFixit shows that the iPhone 13 reaches “a new low” for repairability, as it’s effectively impossible to repair at home without losing key features like Face ID.
