Back in March 2020, before we had functioning PCR swabs (thanks to CDC failure) and used CT to help diagnose covid, I said "this is not ARDS". I am a physician, 11 years as an intensivist, worked in 2009 during H1N1. Had multiple young people in my ICU, esp young men. Put peeps on ECMO. It was a mess. But, after treating ARDS for 11 years, when covid happened, I said the bilat ground glass opacities are NOT normal ARDS. I couldn't find anyone at my hospital to agree with me in a 2 minute conversation (MD attention spans are dismal). Got a twitter account and tried communicating with radiologists at UW, who also just disregarded me, saying it's ARDS. I kept saying it looks similar, but it's too "perfect" - meaning too diffuse, bilateral and homogenous. Clinical presentation completely different. "happy hypoxia" - never saw a "happy H1N1" case.
The term cytokine "storm" also was inappropriate ... since it takes 8 days - 2 weeks to "storm", which isn't exactly a storm. The cytokine storm we saw with H1N1 was a storm - rapid, early onset. I think by misnaming it, we anchored on all the wrong physiology of ARDS and cytokine storm, as seen in H1N1 and other flus. If your base of knowledge is wrong, everything you learn is a sandcastle on the beach......
Fast forward 2 years and we are finally getting explanations that explain the diffuse, fibrotic pictures we saw on CT.
Anecdotally, I am seeing higher pulm art pressures on ECHOs of my patients. Time will tell. I have long watched PAP because I have special interest in PE treatment. Also have seen coronary vasculitis in adults, on echo, like what we see in kawasaki kids.
I too have lost friends over my opinion on covid. I never imagined I would lose friends because I thought the CT looked a little off!!! But our paths diverged early on and remain separate. We need creative people to prevent us from getting anchored on the wrong treatment paths.
Thankfully I have found wonderful, imaginary friends online, like Walter, that have kept me sane.
Yes, I couldn't agree more. I, also, never believed it was ARDS. It is an ultrarapid fibrosis of the lungs. Of course, I believe the fibrosis is systemic, but why so quickly in some? And why so slowly (and, most likely equally fatal) in others? These are the questions I am working on answering. Also, thank you for your kind words.
While I have no expert knowledge to enable my response, a doctor in South Africa was interviewed by Peter McCullough describing his thoughts on why it might react differently in some… His thought the 8 day reaction might be some sort of allergic reaction (people have different levels of allergic reactions) to the post-viral phase remnants of the Spike protein… if I understood correctly. He claimed that by treating his patients with a combination of drugs that included Promethizine (? ..from memory), he seemed able to ward off any worsening of symptoms for those who presented with difficulty breathing on the 8th day. I would have to go back and look for the interview… but it should still be available on America Out Loud, The Peter McCullough report. While it seems a simplistic approach, maybe there is something to consider in his approach that he claims to have worked for the first wave/variant. I think he is an Indian doctor who practices in South Africa.

“Therefore my conclusion is that the influenza bacillus is merely a weaker or dwarfed form of the real tubercle bacillus, a strain that in this case failed of better development because of a higher degree of resistance in the host. In both tuberculosis and influenza we deal with the self-same organism that in tuberculosis is fully developed, while in influenza it lacks development. In other words, we are dealing with a difference in degree only, but not in kind."

More recently, in 1999, Fredj Tekaia, of the Pasteur Institute, Paris, and colleagues, looking for "overall gene similarities as signatures of common ancestry", found similar genetic profiles and sequencing for Pfeiffer's bacillus (Mycobacterium influenzae) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, lumping them together in the same "well-defined group".
Tekaia's diagrammatic genomic tree shows the two organisms directly next to one another.This reopened the historical argument that Pfeiffer's bacillus and tuberculosis are related.
Pinktelegirl.. I enjoyed reading your summary. I’m an ob/gyn, I’ve gotten nowhere with other attendings regarding miscarriages, stillbirths , abruptions , heavy bleeding requiring blood transfusions ect…. . Colleagues at the hospital , don’t even want to engage or even entertain an intellectual discussion of findings . Substack and like minded people have been a God send.
It’s so sad. I admittedl 3 severe acute leukemia/lymphoma patients in the past 7 days, 2 with Richter transformation. I had to google “richter transformation”. 20 years in practice and I have never had a single transformation like this. 2 in 1 week???? I asked my partners..... they also could barely remember learning about Richter’s. I also have never admitted so many leuk/lymph patients in one week!!!!! Maybe 6 a year?
So then I asked “doesn’t that seem wierd? 2 Richter’s in a week?”
All I get is a shrug. Complete lack of curiosity. No discussion. We are like well paid monkeys writing billing notes for bananas.
If the birth rate goes down too much maybe the monkeys will notice that the bananas we get are smaller, and then they will care.
"With respect to synthesizing the spike protein alone (and not the entire virus comprised of nearly 30 proteins); this statement matters: “multiprotein complexes, protein-DNA interactions, protein-small molecule interactions, and the like—dynamics that are essential to understand for many biomedical use cases.” - https://www.forbes.com/sites/robtoews/2021/10/03/alphafold-is-the-most-important-achievement-in-ai-ever/
Consider that it is the thorn of the entire rose that inflicts pain alone. The literature says the long term effects are not known. This is why I choose not to grab a rose stem blindly with my eyes closed. As beautiful as it may seem, I may even choose by my own freewill not to accept the rose at all, as it is my choice."
Spike proteins (dextrorotatory prions or beta sheet prions) were discovered some 100 years ago by Wilhelm Reich. He called them T-bacilli. T-bacilli cause hypoxia (since these prions absorb the aether and oxygen) and in turn micro blood clots. Of course, there are also beneficial prions, which have a laevorotatory chirality (alpha prions). Spike proteins are also called liquid crystals.
Since the cmRNA vaccines are coded with Pseudouridine, an isomer of Uridine, all resulting spike proteins will be ISOMERIC as well. So will the antibodies. These largely binding isomeric antibodies now are awaiting an activation, something no one else seems to have observed. cmRNA = chemically modified RNA. The vaccines are not mRNA. Had the vaccines contained a mRNA code (with Uracil) ALL OF THE VACCINEES would have found themselves in ICU units right away, in less than 24 hours. Why? Because severe Covid-19 cases are caused by two lethal antibodies: REGN10987 and B38 (coded with Uracil). That is why Uracil was replaced with Pseudouridine, to sabotage the immune system: now a large quantity of ISOMERIC abs will be produced, while the rest of the normal abs (including the two lethal abs described above) will be fabricated in smaller numbers.
Omicron is Mers-Cov-2 and does not have its prion domain/region activated yet (Delta had a very strong prion domain, the very reason for its virulence). Prions, Mers-Cov are linked with IgG abs. Both REGN10987 and B38 have an IgG format.
I never forgot that one doctor in New York who posted on social media, then I never saw him again. He said the people coming into the hospital hypoxic did not have symptoms of pneumonia. Their symptoms more accurately resembled high altitude where they couldn't access enough oxygen from the atmosphere.
I think about him too. He felt sincere. It seems to me that there are strong local trends and also general patterns. Maybe that was a local trend?
My daughter, best friend, her dad and I had brain fog and were depressed when we had covid. One month later (almost exactly) we all four felt depressed and again could not think easily. My friend and her dad were not around us. It was just the virus de jour.
So weird. Since when is depression a symptom of a virus? And that is not hardly mentioned. Covid feels too anomalous. It is like it is typified by anomaly and we all look for patterns. Am still wondering.
Interesting. That is weird. That must have been hard to handle the physical symptoms as well as the depression. I had Omicron more mild than a few of my friends, all unvaccinated. They all said it felt different than a normal cold or flu that they've had. I likely had a bacterial infection at the same time, so it's hard to parse what was what.
Both the viral spike protein, which probably was released from a lab, or the injection spike protein are not natural. They are abnormal to our system, and I imagine either can bring symptoms that aren't typical of a natural illness.
Lunch or dinner-NAC 600-1200mg, Niacine (flush) or Niacinimaide 250-500 mg, Pirocetam- 400-800 mg, Ginko Biloba- 40 mg, Coke zero (don't ask, I'm not sure why something to do with blocking calcium)
Yup, Dr. Kyle Cameron Sidell. After that I felt terrible everytime I translated for a doctor recommending ventilation. There were a ton of them that first spring.
Thanks for giving me his name! I'm surprised to find his video still on YouTube through duck duck go. He said ventilators were a misguided treatment, I wonder if that's why we never heard from him again, and ventilators continued to kill thousands of people around the world.
There is one more place these surprising molecules are found: in the nervous system, the organ where electrons flow. In fact, in mammals, the central nervous system is the only organ that shines with the red fluorescent glow of porphyrins when examined under ultraviolet light.
These porphyrins, too, perform a function that is basic to life. They occur, however, in location where one might least expect to find them-not in the neurons themselves, the cells that carry messages from our five senses to our brain, but in myelin sheaths that envelop them-the sheaths whose role has been almost totally neglected by researchers and whose breakdown causes one of the most common and least understood neurological disease of our time: multiple sclerosis.
Dr Zach Bush mentioned, at least 20 months ago, that this looked like cyanide poisoning…very interesting. Thanks Walter Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 💖👩🏼🌾🎨🦋

H1N1 is mycobacterium not a virus: M. bovis and M. avium.
https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.637.4817&rep=rep1&type=pdf
Sars-Cov-2 is M. avium accompanied by passenger mycoplasma (Chlamydia pneumoniae).
Omicron is Mers-Cov-2, M. influenzae.
Same pattern as in 1915-1918.
1915-1917 M. avium (aka coronavirus), world wide pandemic
1918 M. influenzae (aka H1N1 or Mers-Cov) which in the course of a single day could turn into galloping tuberculosis (M. africanum)

Thanks. Appreciate your comment.
‘It isn’t typical of a natural illness’...so true.
Try for brain fog:
Morning- 150 mg Thiamine
Lunch or dinner-NAC 600-1200mg, Niacine (flush) or Niacinimaide 250-500 mg, Pirocetam- 400-800 mg, Ginko Biloba- 40 mg, Coke zero (don't ask, I'm not sure why something to do with blocking calcium)
Take for 2 weeks-good luck!
Phosphorus in any soda will block calcium. Doesn't have to be the toxic diet beverage.
Good to know, thanks.
Awesome! Will do:)

So, how about antidotes? Here’s the first I’ve found. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5135677/
Nitrates, I believe, as well. Appreciate your work, Walter.
Nitrates... where to find? and what dose?
More bacon for me. woohoo!
Can you explain how people who have had Covid did not experienced any of those things?
