We must inoculate ourselves against the crazy Anti-Rationalists

Recently, leading anti-rationalist Dominic Lawson had his COVID 19 vaccine promotion pamphlet published by the Daily Mail with the headline "To win the war on Covid-19 we must inoculate Britain against the crazy anti-vaxxers." Like many anti-rationalists Dominic seems to struggle with complex issues.

Certainly questioning anything they are told is unthinkable. Repeating information is where it's at for the anti-rationalists.

Anti-rationalists are incapable of independent thought and need to be told what to believe by someone, some body or organisation, they consider to be important. They call these carefully selected important people and groups "reliable sources."

New CDC and WHO Study Proves 'No Evidence' Facemasks Prevent Virus

facemasks sign covid-19
Facebook's so-called "fact checkers" have struck again, claiming that my report on the science that proves that wearing facemasks, especially in non-medical settings does almost nothing to prevent the spread of a virus, is false... citing that it was based on old information.

Now, I'm reporting on a new study created in conjunction with the World Health Organization and published by the CDC from less than 60 days ago that once again proves that there is no evidence that wearing face masks in public prevents the spread of flu-like viruses. I'm also going to show you why the Facebook fact-checking system cannot be trusted.

Link to the CDC published study. This study was conducted in preparation for the development of guidelines by the World Health Organization on the use of nonpharmaceutical interventions for pandemic influenza in nonmedical settings. This study was supported by the World Health Organization.

Science has validated Indigenous wisdom by identifying a rare, healthy sugar in native stingless bee honey that is not found in any other food.

University of Queensland organic chemist Associate Professor Mary Fletcher said Indigenous peoples had long known that native stingless bee honey had special health properties.

"We tested honey from two Australian native stingless bee species, two in Malaysia and one in Brazil and found that up to 85 per cent of their sugar is trehalulose, not maltose as previously thought," she said.

More bang for your buckwheat: Siberian researchers say humble staple increases amount of "longevity protein" in the body

Researchers in Siberia claim they are the first in the world to have definitively confirmed buckwheat's status as a true 'superfood' which confers a unique healing effect on mammals by regulating key ageing processes.

Buckwheat has been a staple food across large sections of the northern hemisphere, from China through Russia and Kazakhstan and into eastern and central Europe, since farming began thousands of years ago.

But now researchers at the Siberian Federal University (SFU) in Krasnoyarsk, Russia have pinpointed exactly why this pseudocereal is so good for humans - it increases the amount of a so-called "longevity protein" called SIRT1 in our bodies, helping us to live longer, healthier lives.

"We were the first in the world to discover the advantages of buckwheat as a source of SIRT1. This plant is a real superfood," said researcher and SFU Associate Professor Shubhra Pande.

SIRT1 plays a powerful role in both the formation of fat cells and the metabolism of glucose in our systems, as well as the regulation of a number of key ageing processes.

In what could be a starting gun for the commercialization of the cell-based meat business, upstart cultivated meat company Higher Steaks said it has managed to produce samples of its first products — bacon strips and pork belly made in a lab from cellular material.

With the revelation, Higher Steaks, a bootstrapped Cambridge, U.K.-based company, leapfrogs into a competitive position with a number of far larger companies that have raised far more capital.

"There's still a lot of work until it's commercial," said Higher Steaks chief executive Benjamina Bollag, "but the revelation of a pork belly product that's made from 50% cultivated cells and a bacon product which contains 70% meat grown from a cell material in a laboratory is something of a milestone for the industry."

Vaccine for thee but not for me? Here's why rushed shots shouldn't be trusted

I have said this since day one! It is inevitable you'll have those who refuse to take the vaccine, even though President Trump has been promoting one that's on its way and would likely hit the stage before the end of the year.

What will happen after that vaccine has been cleared? Will the powers-that-be force you to accept it, otherwise, you can't come back to work, your kids can't set foot in school? Will businesses refuse patrons entrance because they're not vaccinated? Just imagine the upcoming lawsuits - which is probably why Senate leader Mitch McConnell wants to write in legislation exempting businesses from lawsuits.

Developing any type of vaccine requires meticulous, methodical research, and the willingness to scrap ideas that don't pan out and start over again from scratch. I don't see that happening, with the pressure to produce a vaccine amid a pandemic as devastating to all aspects of life as this one. And with several companies and groups trying to be the first to get a vaccine to market, I'm afraid the company that receives the approval may be the one with the best political connections, not the best and safest vaccine. Considering the number of post-market drug recalls and withdrawals in the past few years, the US' Food and Drug Administration doesn't have the best track record on vetting the research.

How viruses and bacteria balance each other in the gut microbiome

The adage 'all things in moderation' applies not to just to food and drink, but also to the legions of bacteria inside our guts helping us digest that food and drink. It turns out the rule may also extend to the lesser understood bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect the bacteria living inside us.

Like Russian nesting dolls, our bodies host close to 100 trillion bacterial cells that make up our microbiomes — and those bacterial cells have their own inhabitants.

"We're appreciating more and more that the most abundant microbial entities in the human gut are actually viruses," says Eric Martens, Ph.D., associate professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan's Medical School.

Objective:Health - Operation 'Warped' Speed - These People Are Crazy!

O:H header
On this episode of Objective:Health, we talk more about the latest corona-craziness. President Trump announced a plan to have a Covid-19 vaccine available by the end of 2020. Dubbed 'Operation Warp Speed', the details of the plan seem to come straight out of the film Idiocracy.

Heading the operation, for instance, is GlaxoSmithKline vaccine chairman Moncef Slaoui, a man who oversaw the Pandemrix vaccine for swine flu in 2009 which resulted in over a thousand recipients getting brain damage. And remember that GSK has the distinction of paying the largest fine ever paid by a pharmaceutical company at $3 billion back in 2012 for covering up the deadly side effects of the diabetes drug Avandia.

Combine this with the fact that fastest ever vaccine development currently is four years, and the development of a coronavirus vaccine, while attempted many times, has never been successful (often with disasterous results) and you can see why an estimated one third of Americans are not willng to take the Covid-19 vaccine if and when it becomes available. These people are insane, and anyone willing to put their lives, and those of their families, in their hands are either ignorant or equally insane themselves.

Join us on this episode of Objective:Health as we look into the crazy details of Operation Warp(ed) Speed.

On July 17th, 2020, the Russian Ministry of Health published recommendations to schools to ban the use of Wi-Fi and cell phones in elementary schools. The Medical Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, prepared the recommendations together with the Russian Ministry of Health.

The information was provided to Children's Health Defense by Professor Oleg Grigoriev, Dr.Sc, PhD, the Chairman for the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. Professor Grigoriev has been outspoken about the harms of wireless technology and has been leading the recent initiatives by the Russian government to protect children from harm. He also tweeted about the news.

Comment: It's amazing what countries can achieve when they actually care about, and take action towards, the health of their younger generations. It's almost as if Russians are invested in the well-being of their children. What a backward culture!

New research reveals a strong link between refined starch foods - like rice or white bread - and rotting teeth.
A child who brushes their teeth after every meal and doesn't consume a lot of sugar might still get rotten teeth. But why?

For decades this has baffled parents who thought they were doing all they could to protect their children's teeth.

Today, research has uncovered some answers after the University of Auckland and Starship Children's Hospital examined information collected by the country's largest longitudinal study of child development, Growing Up in New Zealand.

It turns out refined starches - such as white bread, rice, noodles and some breakfast cereals - can be just as damaging for children's teeth.
