Conrad said she had never admitted an adult patient with RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) until the COVID-19 vaccines.
"And every patient who came in with RSV was vaccinated for COVID," Conrad said. "It wasn’t normal."
Then, there were the adolescents with no previous medical conditions who had gotten the COVID-19 vaccine a week prior and, suddenly, they were struck with pneumonia and not able to function, she said.
"They weren’t able to walk or eat, and they were completely and totally fatigued," Conrad said.
This was in 2021 before myocarditis was being discussed, so many of those early cases that were probably myocarditis were diagnosed as pneumonia, she said. "We’d treat them with antibiotics and all sorts of other things, not realizing that they were having heart failure."

I was at my nephrologist (kidney doctor) this afternoon and the nurse taking my blood pressure offered, "We had a lot of kidney problems from COVID."
I didn't inquire whether that was Long COVID, Regular COVID, or COVID vaccines.

A woman rushed her mother to the Mount Sinai Hospital on Madison Avenue on March 8 because she suspected the 67-year-old was having a stroke
This was ruled out within 10 minutes - but then a nightmarish day for the cancer sufferer and her daughter began as they were left waiting in limbo at the ER
'Every corner was filled with people,' she said, describing trash littering the floor, urine pots kicked over and homeless people seeking treatment left ignored

If you could ask for the citizenship of ER patients in California, you would get the shocking answer you suspect but cannot find. Our healthcare system, like the social safety net, is completely overrun by illegal aliens. Ask yourself why the Puppet Show has done this to our nation and only one answer makes strategic sense. It benefits the CCP through the implementation of the Cloward-Piven.
[Garowe] At least 30 more people have been killed this weekend amid intensified festivities between the Somaliland army and the SSC-Khatumo forces near Las Anod, a renowned elder has reported, with the corpse count now nearing 300, with no action to restore peace going through as of now.
Garaad Abdisalan Hassan said 60 more people were also critically injured on Saturday during the festivities which have now entered the eighth week. Those injured, he said, will be taken to Mogadishu and Garowe for advanced treatment, shunning the possibility of having them treated in Hargeisa.
Saturday's battle lasted for eight hours with both sides claiming to have managed to take in prisoners, and confiscate vehicles and weapons but the assertions could not be independently verified. Elders allied to SSC-Khatumo accused the Somaliland army of killing prisoners of war.
But in response, Somaliland accused "Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... -led allied" forces of instigating the violence. However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... the SSC elders denied this claim and stated that the Puntland was not actively participating in the conflict, noting that Somaliland was only immersed in "wild allegations".
Efforts by the Æthiopian government to broker deals between the two parties are yet to yield fruits with Las Anod elders insisting that the Somaliland army ought to withdraw for mediation to take place. Until now, Somaliland soldiers continue to bomb Las Anod, further fueling tensions.
Abdiqani Mohamud Aateeye, the defense minister of the breakaway region, said so far, the army has captured 20 prisoners, two army vehicles, 15 heavy machine guns, and more than small arms while fighting on the outskirts of Las Anod. He insisted Puntland has been actively involved in the crisis a claim which Garowe has persistently dismissed as "baseless".
The United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... and President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud have emphasized the need for both parties to strike an amicable solution. The SSC-Khatumo forces are fighting for a self-governance, a move that has been vehemently opposed by the authority in Hargeisa.
Somaliland claimed it broke away from Somalia over three decades ago, but its efforts to be recognized internationally have failed to yield meaningful results.

[KavkazUzel] The decision to liquidate the "Council of Elders of the Balkarian people"
...the Balkars are Turkic people of the North Caucasus...
is groundless, since the organization complied with its charter, members of the council said, expressing their intention to appeal the court's decision.
The "Caucasian Kno " has reported that on March 9, the Nalchik City Court, on the suit of the Ministry of Justice, liquidated the public organization "Council of Elders of the Balkar People", deciding that the organization did not hold congresses in accordance with the charter and did not keep records of its work.
The court also recognized as a call for extremism the statement of the chairman of the organization Ismail Sabanchiev, published in the newspaper "Vestnik Balkarian people" in February 2022. The defendant's representative did not appear at the meeting, and the summons sent to the organization was returned to the court marked "the storage period has expired," the court said.
The "Council of Elders of the Balkar People" was not informed about the lawsuit and intends to appeal the court's decision, the head of the organization Ismail Sabanchiev told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent today.
"We were completely unaware of the lawsuit. We were not informed. And they only found out about the decision now. We were not even questioned. so that the decision is canceled, and everyone who participated in the adoption of this [controversial] decision were themselves deprived of their posts," he said.
There were no violations of the charter of the Council of Elders, Sabanchiev assured.
"We are not fully aware of what we have presented. But as for the frequency of the congresses, we only asked to officially postpone this year's congress for a month due to special circumstances. The fact is that the members of the Council are mostly citizens over 55 years old. Many live in remote mountainous areas with which communication is difficult, especially in this harsh winter. There were snowfalls, roads were blocked. We officially raised the issue with the Department of Justice to postpone the convention for a month. This is allowed by the charter and law. We do not refuse to hold the congress. After all, all the years of the existence of the Council of Elders, we held congresses in accordance with the Charter," said Ismail Sabanchiev.
The head of the organization added that he had no information about new accusations of extremism, but recalled that they had already tried to close the organization.
In May 2010, the Supreme Court of Kabardino-Balkaria, at the suit of the prosecutor's office, ruled to liquidate the "Council of Elders of the Balkarian people of the KBR," considering its activities extremist. In July of the same year, the Supreme Court of Russia overturned this decision . Earlier, in July 2007, the prosecutor also issued a warning to Ismail Sabanchiev about the inadmissibility of extremist activity.
“They have already tried to liquidate us. The Supreme Court of the KBR tried without any reason. We appealed, and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation overturned the decision of the Supreme Court of the KBR. Then Oyus Gurtuev wrote an appeal to the Prosecutor General’s Office. It was reprinted in Vestnik. case on extremism. We filed a lawsuit for illegal initiation of a case. It turned out that the case was dismissed, with the right to compensate for moral damage. But they did not make an official apology. Then I wrote a statement to the Investigative Committee. And after that, the prosecutor came and brought official written apologies. So it's not clear what they want to re-excite?" Sabanchiev said.
Tamara Gerieva, editor of the Bulletin of the Balkarian People and member of the Council of Elders, also said that the representatives of the organization were not informed of the claim of the Ministry of Justice.
In addition, according to her, they recently won an administrative lawsuit to recognize the newspaper's materials as extremist. “Recently, I have often been within the walls of this court. We won an administrative lawsuit directed against us, where we were accused of extremism. This is also because of the disputes about the Kanzhal battle . When we considered the liquidation lawsuit, we were in the same court, simultaneously participating as defendants in another case, that is, for some reason no one found an opportunity to notify us of a new lawsuit," she told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Tamara Gerieva added that she had already demanded the documents of the court decision on the liquidation of the Council. "We promised next week. And after that, of course, we will appeal," she said.
In her opinion, in addition to long-standing problems, the persecution of the Council of Elders may be associated with new issues regarding land sales.
"The reason for the elimination of the Council of Elders of the Balkar people of the KBR is the sale of the Elbrus ski resort, so that we do not raise this issue and do not interfere in the seizure of the historical territory of the indigenous long-suffering Balkar people," Gerieva believes.
In recent years, the Council of Elders has not shown any noticeable activity, said Valery Khatazhukov, Chairman of the Kabardino-Balkarian Regional Human Rights Center.
"In recent years, they have not been doing anything special. They have not made any statements, comments on current events," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent, adding that he does not yet know all the details of the decision to liquidate.
Recall that in February 2020, Ismail Sabanchiev reported that dozens of young people broke into the hall where the congress of the Council of Elders of the Balkar people agreed with the authorities was held and prevented it. He considered the disruption of the congress a planned action.
The incident was an attempt to gain control over the Council of Elders, congress delegate Zoya Alikaeva suggested at the time. "SSBN is the only organization that protects the interests of the Balkar people. There are other public organizations, but they don't know what they do. No one attacks them, because they don't do anything," she told the "Caucasian Knot".

DPRK has invested wisely in a robust nuclear deterrent after suffering repeated US aggression since 1950. South Korea is a US occupied vassal state and has no say in its future. After watching the fate of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya at NATO warmongers hands, it is only prudent for any self-respecting country to possess nuclear weapons. Iranian mullahs need to take a good look at their vague nuclear doctrine and test a warhead.

I was in an Econ class at UMass-Boston years ago, when the calculation of GDP came up. I chimed in that the government spending number should be reduced because gov't spending wasn't as efficient as spending via free enterprise. The professor kicked me out of the class.

Kim Yo-jong sister is being presented as the new leader. She is as bad or worse than their father. USA is the target. This is in the works. Think about it. What better way to distract from Russia and China. We have our vassal states and they have theirs. The west wants war and they are determined to have a war. Main issue is how to make the most money. North Korea can now launch from their subs. Off the west coast or off the east cost. How many nuclear powered and nuclear missiles sitting off our coastlines now. You will never know from our media.

[BIZPACREVIEW] According to a source inside Disney, the entertainment giant has ordered managers/executives to prepare budget cuts and, more notably, lists of employees to be laid off, with the expectation being that firings will begin in April.
This news, broken by Business Insider, comes weeks after CEO Bob Iger announced during the company’s February earnings call that he’d like to cut at least 7,000 jobs (only 4,000 of them are already filled) to reduce expenses.
"Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Bob Iger said Wednesday that the Burbank company will shed 7,000 jobs in an effort to save $5.5 billion in costs, marking some of the steepest reductions in the company’s history and the latest sign of Hollywood’s retrenchment," the Los Angeles Times reported at the time.
"The belt-tightening underscores the extraordinary difficulties Disney and other media giants face as they reckon with the realities of streaming economics — which have proved more vexing than many anticipated — and the challenges facing Iger, who took over from ousted CEO Bob Chapek in November."
At the time of the announcement, the company’s many critics accused it of having fallen into the "go woke, go broke" paradigm.

Disney also has a history of laying off people who are close to retiring. They sometimes offer a small severance package which includes lifetime passes to the parks.

save $5.5B by reducing work force by 7k
I imagine the layoffs are only part of the savings, lord garth. In addition to costs associated with the employments — costumes, etc for those who are customer-facing, office space or whatever if they’re in support functions, labs, etc for those in research projects — there probably are other spend reductions planned.
If they’re getting rid of all known/suspected pedophiles on staff to reduce liability risks, now that the governor of Florida has shown he is taking that problem seriously, that would be a major spending reduction, though it will probably leave them critically short-staffed in the Florida park.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] The largest Swiss bank UBS will absorb Credit Suisse, which found itself in a crisis situation. This was announced on March 19 by the Swiss National Bank (SNB).
It is noted that UBS announced the takeover of Credit Suisse with the support of the Swiss federal government, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA and the Swiss National Bank.
The Swiss National Bank will bail out CHF100bn ($108bn) of UBS liquidity to support the takeover of Credit Suisse.
The financiers explained that with the takeover of Credit Suisse, the SNB found a solution to ensure financial stability and protect the Swiss economy "in this exceptional situation."
The Swiss bank UBS has decided to buy out Credit Suisse, according to the Financial Times newspaper.
UBS has agreed to acquire Credit Suisse after it increased the offer to over $2 billion.
The author of the publication notes that the Swiss National Bank offered UBS about 100 billion liquidity so that it could take over the operations of Credit Suisse.
According to the newspaper, the National Bank and the financial regulator FINMA were involved in organizing the negotiations, trying to strengthen confidence in the Swiss banking sector.
Swiss authorities are considering the possibility of partial or complete nationalization of Credit Suisse. Bloomberg writes about this on March 19, citing sources.
“The country is considering either a full acquisition of the bank or a significant shareholding ,” the statement said.
It is noted that this option is possible if the takeover of Credit Suisse by the UBS financial holding does not take place due to difficulties in concluding a deal and tight deadlines.
Earlier, the British newspaper The Financial Times wrote that the Swiss government intends to use emergency measures to merge Credit Suisse and UBS.
However, Credit Suisse pulled out of a $1 billion merger with UBS, believing the amount was too small and would hurt shareholders and employees.
[REDSTATE] Let’s begin with a sobering — to the sane among us — reality.
China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) surpassed the U.S. Navy in fleet size sometime around 2020 and now possesses roughly 340 warships, according to the Pentagon’s 2022 China Military Power Report, released in November. Moreover, China’s fleet is expected to grow to 400 ships by 2025.
Meanwhile, ...back at the alley, Bugs Moroni was holding Slats from behind while his brother Greasy Thumb was pounding his face into paste ... the U.S. fleet consists of fewer than 300 ships, with a Pentagon goal of 350 manned ships by 2045, according to the U.S. Navy’s Navigation Plan 2022, released last summer.
Incidentally, a blue-water navy is a maritime force capable of operating globally, essentially across the deep waters of open oceans. While definitions of what actually constitutes such a force vary, the constant is a requirement for the ability to exercise sea control at long range. In other words, the more dominant a nation’s blue-water navy, the better chance that nation has of controlling the world’s strategic sea lanes.
So, what is the U.S. Navy under Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant. Just look at the competent way he dumped Afghanistan... doing about this sobering reality?
As reported by the Washington Examiner, Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro has said, multiple times, that fighting climate change has been one of his biggest priorities since taking office. During a recent trip to the Bahamas to meet with Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis, the two men talked at length about... wait for it... climate change, and what the United States is doing to fight it. Here’s Del Toro:

...Here's the thing - if we went to war with China, we'd probably break the PLAN by the time things were finished.
The trouble is that the USN would probably be broken too. Nowhere near enough shipbuilding facilities exist to repair everything that would be damaged, and it would take decades to do it at a cost that would end any new vessel procurement that wasn't already under construction. When it was all over - depending on how many ships were moved in from the Atlantic - we could realistically be looking at a half ocean fleet or less in each ocean.
But we know our fu@king pronouns, so there's that.

Remember Pearl Harbor? I expect the first six (6) hours to be very, very ugly. Chinese "auxiliary tuna fishermen" launching homing torpedoes, container ships launching cruise missiles, and plenty of sabotage (physical and cyberspace) world wide. Then the US will get to fight back and the Real World™ isn't a Tom Clancy techno-thriller ...and no I don't see the "inscrutable Wogs" as ten-foot high supermen.
