Libtard attitude to blacks

Post by Cornfed »

I’d be interested to know why libtards don’t revile blacks in Western society, despite blacks clearly being a pestilential scourge. (I’m not interested in what the raving lunatics who don’t think blacks are a pestilential scourge have to say.)

Perhaps you regard blacks as being similar to people with Downs Syndrome. Most people think it would be cruel to ridicule or be hateful to downies given that their condition is not their fault. When they go to school you wouldn’t want to give them 0 for all their tests and tell them they are worthless. You would hold them to a different standard. When they are adults you might want them to be given undemanding jobs to make them fell good about themselves, even if the market otherwise wouldn't support this. Is that how you libtards feel about blacks?

If so I can kind of see the reasoning. The problem is when there are huge aggregate populations dragging standards down, committing crimes and crowding out real people. Can you libtards not see this is a problem?

Tennessee state senator charged with stealing federal funds

For sure it can be said, that some educated black women are doing nothing to improve the reputation of their black community.

See, this is the problem I was referring to. It is one thing to give a downie a position stocking the shelves at a store in order to be kind to downies. It is another to give black females positions such as state senator to be kind to blacks. That is far more damaging.

I find it disgusting that some women - especially those from minorities - are given an influencial position they don't deserve.
Done solely for the reason to fulfill a quota for available jobs for females and minorities.

This means lower the standard of high qualified people doing a good work.

If you are against and insist that these people were checked exactly the same as everybody else, you are a misogynist, or racist or otherwise considered as an idiot and expect your comments to be deleted and you will be banned from various 'liberal' websites.

This is good example, this woman has a medical degree from Nigeria, and this can obviously used in USA without checking if this person has a US-standard medical knowledge....

Stella Immanuel - the doctor behind unproven coronavirus cure claim

Some sentences from the text:
Full text see link above

Stella Immanuel, a doctor at the centre of a controversy over unproven and potentially dangerous claims that an anti-malaria drug can treat Covid-19, is no stranger to conspiracy theories.

Facebook and Twitter have taken down the viral video in which she appears, saying it violates their policies about misinformation - but not before it was retweeted by Donald Trump and one of his sons.
-----
Born in 1965, Dr Immanuel graduated with a medical degree from the University of Calabar in (neighbouring) Nigeria - and has a valid doctor's licence, according to the website of the Texas Medical Board.
-----
She is also a pastor and the founder of Fire Power Ministries in Houston, a platform she has used to promote other conspiracies about the medical profession.

Her sermons are available on a YouTube account set up in 2009.

Five years ago, she alleged that alien DNA was being used in medical treatments, and that scientists were cooking up a vaccine to prevent people from being religious.

Some of her other claims include blaming medical conditions on witches and demons - a common enough belief among some evangelical Christians - though she says they have sex with people in a dream world.

Stella Immanuel, the doctor in the Trump-endorsed COVID-19 disinformation video, was sued for medical malpractice in 2019 after one of her patients died

The doctor in the COVID-19 disinformation video endorsed by President Donald Trump was sued for medical malpractice in 2019, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Citing court documents, the Chronicle said that Dr. Stella Immanuel was sued in Louisiana after a woman died shortly after leaving her care.

Immanuel shot to prominence on Monday after the president, his son Donald Trump Jr., and Madonna shared a video of her touting an unproven coronavirus treatment.

In the video, Immanuel said that masks aren't effective and that hydroxychloroquine could cure COVID-19. Scientists have for months proven both of those assertions wrong.

-----

It was also revealed this week that Immanuel holds several bizarre beliefs pertaining to sex and religion.

For example, cysts and endometriosis, Immanuel said in a 2013 church sermon, are a result of people having dreams about having sex with demons and witches.

Actually this is a horrible example. She had to go through US residency just like any other foreign doctor who immigrates. She got no special benefits for being black or a woman.

Now that she has spoken the truth about Covid, all the corrupt elite scum are out to get her. The Yahoo article provided no links or references to back up their attacks on her.

The truth?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/stella-imman ... 58481.html

The World Health Organization (WHO) has halted its trials, saying it doesn't reduce death rates in patients with coronavirus.

Last month, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cautioned against using the drug to treat coronavirus patients, following reports of "serious heart rhythm problems" and other health issues.

And Dr Anthony Fauci, a leading member of the White House coronavirus task force, has reiterated these views.

"We know that every single good study - and by good study I mean randomised control study in which the data are firm and believable - has shown that hydroxychloroquine is not effective in the treatment of Covid-19," he told the BBC on Wednesday.

-----------------------------

Here in Japan and especially in Korea the research results are about the same, hydroxychloroquine cannot be used for Covid-19 treatment.
There are various articles, since about end of April 2020, which confirm, that this hydroxychloroquine does not work for Covid-19.

A recent study in South Korea has failed to definitively prove that an anti-malaria drug seen as a candidate in treating the novel coronavirus would be effective against the global pandemic, local media reported on Wednesday.

In their fight against COVID-19, many countries, including the U.S., rushed to approve the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to treat coronavirus victims.

The study by researchers at the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul and Pusan National University Hospital in Busan was "not able to confirm the effectiveness" of the drug, according to the Yonhap news agency.

Though all test subjects recovered from the virus at the end of the study, its experimental limits meant it could not ascertain whether this was the work of HCQ.

The fight against the coronavirus pandemic, which has resulted in over 178,000 deaths globally has put pressure on doctors and drug regulatory agencies throughout the world to expedite the development, approval and deployment of both experimental drugs, as well as the repurposing of existing therapeutics.

The researchers completed a process known as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), which refers to preventive medical treatment following exposure to a pathogen. they administered hydroxychloroquine to 184 patients and 21 medical staff at a long-term care hospital in Busan, where they were exposed to COVID-19 after massive infections were reported there.

In the study published by the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, patients were given daily 400-milligram doses of the drug while in quarantine for two weeks.

Please give me a reference (link) to one valid study. It is easy to construct bad studies. A good study would use hydroxychloroquine with zinc at reasonable doses.

It seems you refer more to 'Zinc' than to HCQ? What do you consider as 'reasonable doses'?
Why you do not ask a Nigerian female pastor for 'good studies' with 'reasonable doses', I have not seen one yet and I doubt if she can do that and show up with some evidence for her claims.

In Japan and South Korea various large institutes are doing plenty of research about any kind of drug you can image...

Use of Hydroxychloroquine in Japan
Despite these benefits and its current use in over 70 countries, chloroquine and HCQ remain unavailable for clinical use for rheumatology patients in Japan. This unavailability stems from a series of lawsuits in the 1970s as a result of chloroquine retinal toxicity, which was first reported by Cambiaggi in 195714 and further confirmed by Hobbs, et al in 195915. Interestingly, chloroquine was widely used in Japan for a variety of clinical indications from 1955 through the early 1970s, including malaria, RA, and SLE, as well as in diseases such as epilepsy and chronic nephritis, in which baseline risk of retinal toxicity was likely higher to begin with16. The dangers associated with chloroquine use were compounded by the absence of rigorous safety screening protocols, despite the known potential for retinal toxicity. As a result, chloroquine was withdrawn from the Japanese market in 1974.
HCQ is a dangerous drug, it can make you blind. You have to consider also other side-effects of this drug.

The Japanese Alternative to Hydroxychloroquine: Zinc + Hinokitiol
Jun 09, 2020 (AB Digital via COMTEX) -- Much of what makes Hydroxychloroquine effective in combination with Zinc is believed to be its Zinc Ionophore capability. That is, the ability for Hydroxychloroquine to transport Zinc into cells and inhibit viral replication. Hinokitiol is also a Zinc Ionophore and was discovered in Japan in 1936. Hinokitiol is naturally occurring and draws its advantage from having low toxicity, hence, its wide inclusion in consumer oral care products. It is also an approved food additive in Japan, with 'Hinoki Clinical jp' selling Hinokitiol based products since 1956. Hydroxychloroquine requires a prescription, alternatively Hinokitiol can be purchased in consumer oral care products without restriction in both the EU and the USA.

Antiviral Properties of Zinc

The antiviral activity of Zinc depends on the intracellular availability of Zinc. In vitro, Zinc doses of > 2 μM inhibits replication of SARS-CoV by inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase Zinc. Zinc also has direct antiviral properties that include stimulation of a variety of antiviral signaling events. For example, Zinc levels have been associated with inhibition of IFN-l3 signaling, actions which may moderate cytokine storm associated with worse outcome in patients infected with SARS-CoV.

Role of Hinokitiol

Hinokitiol (hk) is a Zinc ionophore that accelerates the uptake of Zinc inside the cell. This action increases the concentration of intracellular Zinc, potentiating its antiviral activity. The continuous presence of Zinc ionophore such as hk is required for Zinc ions to maintain the antiviral properties. At doses of >0.2 μg/ml hk directly inhibits viral and bacterial activities. A coronavirus disinfectant patent reported that a content of 0.02 to 0.2% by mass hinokitiol was effective.

Conclusion

Available evidence suggests that a combination of Zinc and Hinokitiol are synergistic in inhibiting growth of viruses including SARS-COV. Dr ZinX Oral Spray is a novel patented oral formulation (Patent number: 2020900820) consisting of Zinc and Hinokitiol. Dr ZinX has the potential to reduce the viral load in oral mucosa, reducing chances of human-human transmission and severity of COVID-19.

Use of Hydroxychloroquine in Japan
This is just a letter to the editor, not a study. And the writer equates chloroquine and HCQ which is wrong. It is well known that HCQ has less side effects than chloroquine. And the lawsuits referred to here were for chloroquine, not HCQ.

Even a 'reasonable doses' of HCQ (without zinc) is already a risk...this is a dangerous prescription-only drug.
Despite Plaquenil dosing recommendations, retinal toxicity remains

The American Academy of Ophthalmology has published several dosing and screening recommendations for hydroxychloroquine to avoid potential retinal toxicity, yet some patients still experience permanent vision loss resulting from hydroxychloroquine retinopathy due to improper dosing of the drug and improper screening.

A cookie-cutter approach to dosing Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine, Sanofi-Aventis), an anti-malarial drug that has been used as a treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, by rheumatologists and internal medicine doctors can lead to an increased risk for hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) retinopathy, according to OSN Retina/Vitreous Section Editor Andrew A. Moshfeghi, MD, MBA.

“Plaquenil comes in 200 mg tablets, and many doctors just off-handedly put everyone on 200 mg twice a day. And they feel like they’re giving good care if they remember to send that patient to an ‘eye doctor’ every year or even more frequently, without knowing what screening is needed or if that eye doctor knows what to do. Screening is good, but they could significantly reduce the likelihood of morbidity or the actual need for these patients to stop using the drug if they had appropriately dosed these patients in the first place,” he said.

A multitude of tests are needed to detect the earliest possible signs of hydroxychloroquine toxicity, according to Andrew A. Moshfeghi, MD, MBA.

FDA cautions against use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for COVID-19 outside of the hospital setting or a clinical trial due to risk of heart rhythm problems
Does not affect FDA-approved uses for malaria, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis

July 1, 2020 Update: A summary of the FDA review of safety issues with the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat hospitalized patients with COVID-19 is now available. This includes reports of serious heart rhythm problems and other safety issues, including blood and lymph system disorders, kidney injuries, and liver problems and failure.

June 15, 2020 Update: Based on ongoing analysis and emerging scientific data, FDA has revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) to use hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat COVID-19 in certain hospitalized patients when a clinical trial is unavailable or participation is not feasible. We made this determination based on recent results from a large, randomized clinical trial in hospitalized patients that found these medicines showed no benefit for decreasing the likelihood of death or speeding recovery. This outcome was consistent with other new data, including those showing the suggested dosing for these medicines are unlikely to kill or inhibit the virus that causes COVID-19. As a result, we determined that the legal criteria for the EUA are no longer met. Please refer to the Revocation of the EUA Letter and FAQs on the Revocation of the EUA for Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate and Chloroquine Phosphate for more information.

Did you read this? This is talking about 400mg per day for 5 years. This is totally inapplicable to the Covid case. For Covid, treatment is 400mg/day but only for a short time. Prophylactic use is much lower. Of course anything taken at high dosage for a long time causes problems.

I am a computer programmer, not a doctor. But I am not illiterate, so I can read a medical paper. I urge people to read some research papers and critically think about them before coming to any conclusions about Covid. The reason that the corrupt elite scum can get away their scams is because people don't do this.

Interesting read...full article click on the link below

Who Are ‘America’s Frontline Doctors’ and Dr. Stella Immanuel?

Thousands of readers inquired about people featured in a viral video pulled by social media companies for pushing COVID-19 misinformation in July 2020.

PUBLISHED 30 JULY 2020

As governments fight the COVID-19 pandemic, Snopes is fighting an “infodemic” of rumors and misinformation, and you can help. Read our coronavirus fact checks. Submit any questionable rumors and “advice” you encounter. Become a Founding Member to help us hire more fact-checkers. And, please, follow the CDC or WHO for guidance on protecting your community from the disease.
A group that called itself “America’s Frontline Doctor’s” (AFD) took to the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court on July 27, 2020, in a self-described “White Coat Summit” to address a “massive disinformation campaign” regarding COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by SARS-CoV-2.

A video recording of the 45-minute long event was promoted online as a “SCOTUS press conference” but had no clear affiliation with the high court other than being held on the footsteps of the Washington, D.C., courthouse. Less than 24 hours after being posted, the video was pulled from social media platforms for presenting misinformation lauding unproven treatments for COVID-19, and thousands of reader queries poured in at Snopes, asking about the legitimacy of the video and the personalities featured in it.

Snopes obtained an archived version of the video and a transcript and dug through medical records to answer the questions: Who are these doctors and how accurate is their information?

During the course of our investigation, we found a doctor who describes herself on Twitter as “God’s battle axe and weapon of war,” health care providers some of whose claimed credentials and affiliations could not be confirmed, and some questionable and outright dangerous claims regarding an unproven “cure” and preventative treatment for COVID-19.

What Is ‘America’s Frontline Doctors’?
AFD appears to be a new group supported and promoted by the conservative political organization Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPatriots), which shared a link to the “summit” on its website. AFD has little online presence and according to Whois, a database that tracks domains online, the americasfrontlinedoctors.com domain was created on July 16, 2020. Though the domain registry itself does not expire until 2021, the link led to a “website expired” page within 24 hours of the event airing. Breitbart reported the AFD website was “shut down” by hosting platform Squarespace. Snopes contacted the email address listed in an archived version of the website but received an email bounce-back that read, “the email account that you tried to reach does not exist.” The archived AFD homepage read:

American life has fallen casualty to a massive disinformation campaign. We can speculate on how this has happened, and why it has continued, but the purpose of the inaugural White Coat Summit is to empower Americans to stop living in fear.

If Americans continue to let so-called experts and media personalities make their decisions, the great American experiment of a Constitutional Republic with Representative Democracy, will cease.

Each doctor in the video is seen wearing a white coat featuring an “America’s Frontline Doctors” logo on the left side. Simone Gold, an emergency and general practice doctor registered with the California Medical Board and featured in the video, described the group as “doctors, healers, and just people that want to help our nation” who represent “hundreds and thousands of doctors.”

In a separate video shared to Twitter, Gold described her take on “flattening the curve” while standing in front of Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai hospital, discussing case rates and hospital capacity as if appearing to have an affiliation with the institution. Cedars-Sinai publicly addressed the videos saying that “there is no one by that name on the staff of Cedars-Sinai or affiliated with Cedars-Sinai.”

Other doctors introduced in the video included Dr. Bob Hamilton, a private-practice pediatrician from Santa Monica, California, known for his ability to soothe a crying baby via the “Hamilton Hold,” as well as Dr. James Todaro, who includes a “not medical advice” caveat on his Twitter profile, and who has no known experience treating COVID-19.

The video also featured Dr. Joseph Ladapo, a physician and clinical researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, who said that he was speaking for himself. According to the California Medical Board, Ladapo’s license was issued in 2016 and is current. Dr. Dan Erickson was also featured in the video. An associated address led us to Accelerated Urgent Care in Bakersfield, California, which told Snopes that Erickson is a part-owner. We have yet to confirm the background, license or specialty of Erickson.

Snopes attempted to contact each of the individuals listed above but received no responses by the time of publication. We will update this article if we hear back. Of the physicians contacted, Ladapo responded to an interview request, and in his email referred to several Op-Ed pieces that he had written, which have been cited in the source section of this article. Ladapo did not agree to interview requests from Snopes, instead replying: “My sense is that you may be more interested in discrediting the physicians who spoke rather than learning more about what they said and why.”

Most notably, Dr. Stella Immanuel, a Texas-based primary care physician with a passion for religion, sparked the curiosity of Snopes readers — at least one-fifth of queries we received in the two days that followed the press conference were about her medical background and allegations based on anecdotal evidence. Claims made by Immanuel sparked controversy and made headlines in the 24 hours following the release of the video. Snopes contacted Immanuel’s facility, Rehoboth Hospital in Houston, Texas, by phone on July 29, 2020, and confirmed that she was indeed a provider. We reached out for comment but were told to call back the following day. We will update the article accordingly.
