Iatrogenic deaths and ‘early spread’ tie in together
Both subjects are under-reported Covid scandals.
In my previous post, I said I’d publish my big piece on Influenza-Like-Illness by today. Well, I’m still not finished.
However, I’ve been writing in The Brownstone Institute’s email group. Recent topics include “early spread” and “evidence of iatrogenic deaths.”
Many readers know of my great interest in the contrarian theory that the novel coronavirus was spreading (widely) months before the lockdowns imposed to “slow” or “stop” virus spread.
“Early spread” has received little attention as a possible Covid scandal. Other Covid scandals - the draconian lockdowns, the “unsafe and ineffective vaccines” and the ridiculous mask requirements - have justifiably received attention from skeptics of the official Covid narratives.
But another scandal deserves to be on this list. This scandal is the massive number of citizens in the world who almost-certainly died not from Covid proper, but from “iatrogenic” reasons.
“Early spread” actually ties into this subject.
That is, if millions of people had already contracted the novel coronavirus by March 15, 2020, why didn’t we see a huge spike of deaths before this date? In my opinion, the shocking scandal is that a large percentage of Covid deaths shouldn’t be attributed to the virus … but to the flawed “guidance” disseminated by our “public health” leaders.
Addressing the theory early cases existed, but the virus
wasn’t spreading fast or widely ….
Some of my colleagues believe “early spread” happened but this spread was “low-level” or “isolated.” This argument posits that the virus became more lethal and contagious around February or March 2020. In a recent post, I cited reasons this theory is unconvincing to me:
I think “spread” was “high-level’ largely because I have identified antibody-confirmed cases in geographic locations spread literally across the world. For example, I’ve noted antibody-confirmed cases in approximately 260 Americans in 16 states, plus even more cases in Italy, France, the UK and China.
Here I rely on “deductive reasoning” to conclude that so many people in so many far-flung towns could not have all been infected unless the virus had spread person-to-person across the world.
Another point: None of these 260 people died. This tells me this virus should have produced the “fear factor” associated with the common flu.
Lessons from the USS Teddy Roosevelt ….
The “case study” of the outbreak on the USS Teddy Roosevelt might be significant in this discussion.
The CDC and Navy tested 382 sailors for antibodies. Almost every crew member had also previously received PCR tests.
From both tests and from extrapolations from this study, study authors tell us that 60 percent of the ship’s 4,850 crew members eventually contracted this virus. This means at least 2,910 sailors probably had this virus. Of this number, only one crew member died and he was 44.
This means the Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) on the Roosevelt for those under the age of 44 was 0.000 percent. (The median age in America is 39).
The mortality figures from the Diamond Princess cruise ship has received far more attention. but the fatalities that occurred on this ship were all very old and most had serious co-morbid conditions. This reinforces the point that the Covid mortality risk is almost exclusively among the elderly.
Most people who would have been exposed to this virus in November 2019 - March 15, 2020 would have been pre-retirement age and people near or below the median age - people who come in contact with far more other people on a daily basis …. And these people would NOT have died. Very few (as a percentage) would have needed to be hospitalized.
The group most likely to be hospitalized was the already-infirm elderly. There’s no doubt some of these people did die, but even among this cohort the vast majority did not. Otherwise, someone would have noticed a big spike in deaths of old people.
This leads me to conclude the startling spike of deaths beginning in April 2020 has to be explained by something other than this virus. (Oddly, the big spike in cases occurred in only a few cities, with a very large percentage occurring in New York City. These deaths also spiked in the warmer-weather months and weeks after the lockdowns designed to prevent cases).
In my opinion, the vast majority of these deaths must have been caused by the faulty protocols, iatrogenic deaths, panic/fear, etc. Based on evidence, I don’t think the virus itself suddenly became more lethal.
We also know that perhaps half (or more) of Covid “cases” occurred among people who didn’t even know they had any virus …as they experienced no symptoms or only very mild symptoms.
Speaking of “symptoms,” I keep asking this question: When did people experience Covid symptoms … In December 2019 and January 2020 … or April 2020? My next big story will document that the cold and flu season of 2019-2020 produced far more ILI cases than the previous 10 flu seasons.
Officials don’t want to investigate evidence of early spread …
I’m all for uncovering definitive “evidence,” but “skeptics” also need to acknowledge who controls access to said evidence.
Forget the known evidence from antibody results we do have, think about all the antibody studies and testing that was NOT done.
The One CDC antibody study of archived blood …
For example, given that Covid was a “national emergency,” the CDC could have found some other tranches of archived blood they could have tested for antibodies … at least by late February 2020.
However, this agency only tested one tranche of archived blood collected in December 2019. Our “trusted public health agencies” then made sure they didn’t release the results of this study until November 30, 2020 - 11 1/2 months after these Red Cross blood donors donated blood that could and should have been tested nine months earlier.
We still don’t know when the blood was actually tested for antibodies. This important information was not included in the CDC’s (non-peer-reviewed) “Red Cross Blood Study.”
Skeptics should be able to make a few conclusions from this “dog-that-didn’t bark” type “evidence.”
My conclusion: Our virus-origination sleuths either don’t want to know the answer … or they know it already and don’t want the public to know what they know. They didn’t want to investigate that which they didn’t want to “confirm.”
This, I believe, is the same reason Fauci et al didn’t want anyone investigating the possibility that the virus might have been created and escaped from a lab in Wuhan.
It gets almost no attention, but I also think these government employees didn’t want anyone investigating the possibility this virus was spreading before the “Wuhan outbreak.” The next question would be why so many officials were so interested in such an investigation NOT happening?
How many people were hospitalized with Covid before official Covid?
Nobody really knows how many patients were treated in hospitals before the novel coronavirus was said to be spreading in America or other countries.
This number could range from zero to hundreds of thousands. One would have to know how many people actually had the virus before, say, March 1st, 2020 or, more specifically, “severe” cases.
I can report that I’ve read many hundreds “reader comments” about early spread and remember maybe 12 comments of people saying they think a loved one was hospitalized with “early Covid” (a few died, per the comments of their loved ones).
I know Tim McCain of Sylacauga, Alabama was hospitalized (in ICU) for 28 days in early January 2020. Developing my “dog-that didn’t bark” thesis, I note that no one at Birmingham’s Grandview Medical Center will talk about Tim’s case. (I asked them repeatedly and Tim and his wife gave hospital officials permission to discuss Tim’s case).
I can only conclude that at least some of Tim’s care-givers suspect he did have Covid and don’t want anyone to know they reached this conclusion.
(The director of ICU nursing sent an interesting Facebook message to Brandie McCain when Brandie notified this nurse that she and Tim had both tested positive for Covid antibodies in late April. Paraphrasing: “I knew he did!!! We just didn’t have tests at the time …”
The reason no one at this hospital would answer my questions is probably because: A) They quickly came to believe Tim had Covid; B) They probably had treated other patients who had Covid; and C) They probably had staffers who developed Covid symptoms before the virus was supposed to circulating. (Via email, I asked if the hospital had any staffers who developed Covid symptoms before March, and this question was also not answered).
Aside: This might be an important line of inquiry as I think many hospital staffers in the world had already been exposed to this virus by March 15, 2020 - and thus had natural immunity by the time all the panic and lockdowns commenced.
The trepidation about answering questions about Tim McCain could also be explained by the possibility hospital administrators know they should have alerted public health agencies and shared details from Tim’s case with other doctors. Tim’s clinical/treatment information might have helped save lives of other patients.
I also note the Alabama Department of Public Health didn’t reach out to this hospital and ask for details on his case (which could have been “Case Zero” in America). Both myself and Brandie McCain asked these officials to do just this. One can make his own conclusions as to why this agency didn’t do this.
My main point is that doctors and nurses at most hospitals in the world probably know they were treating Covid patients before Covid was announced. Again, almost all of these patients, like Tim, survived with the pre-Covid treatment protocols.
I believe this was a world-wide occurrence.
Nobody has picked up on an article I published at my Substack that shares the anecdote of a lady from the UK who also tested positive for antibodies and reports that she was also admitted to ICU in the UK … in November 2019.
If my early-spread hypothesis is correct, common sense and logical extrapolations suggest that large numbers of people with Covid were probably admitted to the hospital or at least treated in emergency rooms or clinics beginning at least four months before the lockdowns.
For me, the fact hospital staffers won’t address this issue is a red flag and suggests they’re not being forthcoming about what they really know or suspected at the time.
The most-significant conclusion might be that pre-Covid treatment protocols were far better than the post-Covid protocols.
A personal note …
I’ll be out of pocket until Sunday as my wife, kids and I are heading to the beautiful beaches of Destin, Florida for a 3-night get-away. Since we became parents 11 years ago, this is only the second family beach trip we’ve taken together so it’s overdue.
The trip will be partially funded by proceeds from my recent “Subscription drive.” I ended up adding 22 paid subscribers to my newsletter, an eye-opening increase of 21 percent. This generous “show of support” helped make this family vacation possible. Thank you again!
Batteries re-charged and with a few more freckles, I’ll finish that dadgum ILI story when I get back.
Bill, so glad to see you digging deeper into this.

TRANSCRIPT
5:24:40
NICOLE SIROTEK: Thank you, Senator, for giving me an uninterrupted opportunity to represent the harm that is coming to the patients in the American hospitals and the lack of early intervention.
My name is Nicole Sirotek. I'm a registered nurse. I've been a registered nurse for over a decade. My specialty is critical care trauma and flight. Since the start of the covid pandemic I've actually been rebranded, I guess you can say, as a leading expert in early intervention strategies executed on a large mass scale using the FLCCC* protocol as well as ventilator or covid patient ventilator protective strategies to optimize covid patients on the ventilators.
My story actually begins back in May of 2020. I was one of the original nurses that went to NYC to help with the covid pandemic because as we remember, they needed nurses, and most importantly they needed ventilators. Well, I was the whole package, a flight nurse that can manage ventilators.
And when I arrived there, the gross negligence and the medical, you know, malfeasance that happened in there and the complete medical mismanagement of these patients is what has led us to the situation that we're in right now. The pandemic and the hysteria that was created from poor public health measures and poor execution of appropriate early intervention strategies and the handicapping of medical professionals doing their job has led to where we are right now and into the crisis situation that we are in.
I will use several key case studies that will represent larger descriptive statistical information heard I'm going to speak of. But when I was in New York, and what continues to happen today, is that many of them are not dying from covid.
Now many people don't know about me is that I'm actually a master's prepared biochemist and I have worked extensively with the HIV virus tracking genetic mutations, so I feel very comfortable going toe-to-toe with some of these doctors here, although I am not a doctor, I'm just a nurse.
But what we saw on these front lines we knew what was happening, and when we asked for the ibuprofen they said, no, it was contraindicated. When we asked, like, why aren't we giving them steroids? Oh, well it's not. We're just following orders.
Following orders has led to the sheer number of deaths that has occurred in these hospitals.
I didn't see a single patient died of covid. I've seen a substantial number of patients die of negligence and medical malfeasance.
[audience members around her all nod their heads, yes, vigorously]
When I was on the front lines of New York I'm unfortunately known, globally viral, as the nurse that was in the break room sobbing, saying that they were murdering my patients. The pharmaceutical companies had gone into those hospitals and decided to, um, practice, I guess you can say, on on the minorities, on the disadvantaged, on the marginalized populations that we know that we had no advocates for. Because the very agencies that should have been protecting them were closed because we were [makes air quotes with fingers] sheltering in place.
Now while I was there and I saw that the pharmaceutical companies were rolling out remdesivir onto the patients, I tried to get a hold of the IRBS* I try to get a hold of my appropriate chain of commands, I tried CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid], I tried Department of Health. And they rolled out remdesivir onto a substantial number of patients for which we all saw it was killing the patients. And now its the FDA approved drug that is continuing to kill patients in the United States.
As nurses we've collected a statistical or descriptive amount of information that you may not get from the doctors because for more they do quantitative data, we do qualitative data with a humanistic phenomenological approach in nursing research. And so we've collected the data from all of these patients across the country from which we have been helping patients, because I formed the organization American Frontline Nurses and the Advocacy Network so nurses could advocate for these patients. And all of this data pool shows that as these patients get remdesivir, they have a less than 25 percent chance of survival if they get more than two doses.
Now they're rolling it out on children as well, and into the nursing homes or school nursing facilities as early intervention, when as Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Merrick*** have already demonstrated that there are cost-effective medications out there. And we are going to see the amplification of death across our country.
And we haven't even touched on the vaccines, for which all of our expert panels have already very well described that situation, so I won't touch on that since many of them are by far superior to me than than even I could ever hope to be.
But I can tell you that two days ago I I flew out my first 10 year-old with a heart attack and I had to fight the doctor in the ER because he's like, 10 year olds don't have heart attacks. And I argued back and forth for 30 minutes to force his hand to get an EKG to find out that he was, had almost a complete STEMI, which is ST-elevation myocardial infarction**** for which you could see it lit up on the 12-Lead EKG. And he's like, well that's not possible. And I'm like, well, he was just vaccinated yesterday. It is very much possible.
At any given time people are getting a hold of me and the nurse advocates at American Frontline Nurses to help advocate because, as you've seen, there is victim shaming that it, oh, it's anxiety, oh, it's this. But in actuality, if they put down that it was a vaccine injury, the physician, the corporation, the hospital, the clinic, they actually won't get reimbursed, so it gets labeled as anxiety or neuropathy or Guillain Barré syndrome, when in actuality it's very realistically a vaccine injury.
Now I'm not, even though I founded American Frontline Nurses, I've traveled extensively to South America, India, and South Africa working in hot zones stopping the spread of the virus and working with early intervention, and nowhere in those countries and developing nations do I see these issues that we see here in the United States. It's actually, I'm a very proud American citizen, I come from a family of immigrants and my mother told me that the United States is the best country in the world, though granted, I am biased being an American, and our level of health care has been deteriorated to substandard, third world nation health care, whereas I tell people, you are better off in South America in a field hospital than you are in level one trauma designer hospitals in the United States.
As nurses we are getting reports across the country from our American Frontline Nurses about patients not getting food. Patients not getting water. How come a patient hasn't been fed in nine days? Why do I need to get a court order to force a hospital to feed a person who isn't intubated, and who's literally telling you they would like food? Oh, well you can't take your BiPAP map mask off. Well that's what US nurses are for, we're going to help you take that off, we're going to help you eat, but we're not allowed to.
If, you know, if they're on a ventilator they're not getting basic standards of care. I've had patients that haven't been bathed, haven't been fed, haven't been given water, haven't been turned. And if you ask me, this isn't a hospital this is a concentration camp!
[audience clapping]
Absolutely it is. Nowhere in the United States do we isolate people for hundreds of hours at a time with no human contact. It's not even allowed in the prisons. You are not allowed to isolate a prisoner for beyond a certain extensive amount of time because it is, again, it is horrible for their mental health, and is considered inhumane. However, in these hospitals now, we're allowed to isolate patients from their families for days, and you have to say goodbye to them over an iPhone, as Jennifer Bridges has just demonstrated to us, or she has to shuttle people in to see. And personally, I was fired for sneaking a Hispanic family in to say the last rights to their family.
And so thank you, Senator Johnson, for giving nurses the opportunity to come and represent our patients because, as you can see, we're not often thought of as leading professionals, though we are the missing link between the doctors and the patients. So thank you so much for this time.
[audience clapping]
SENATOR RON JOHNSON: We're good.
[audience clapping]
Thank you for being a nurse.

The whole Fauci "two weeks to flatten the curve" thing was designed to terrorize the living hell out of us, which it largely accomplished. The follow-on craziness was fueled by mass hysteria and public health nincompoops who all belong to a single political stripe. Blue states locked down harder than red ones, with NY and CA leading the charge. All the testing was flawed, I knew that from the get-go because there's no scientific basis for testing people who aren't sick. You're just going to get tons of false-positives and false-negatives with such a poor test quality anyways.
I also happen to believe the Floyd riots were somehow a preconfigured component of the whole thing. I'm not saying that exact incident was an intel operation, but I am saying that the lockdowns led to urban types being very jumpy already and it was like throwing a match into a tub of gasoline--literally any incident could be inflated by the media to gaslight already mentally perturbed people into doing exactly what they did. The psyops people at the CIA or wherever definitely know their subject matter well. They were able to expand the riots nationwide until DC was burning down around the White House.
