Now Over 10 Hours of Discussion/Debate with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya

I posted this on the wrong substack. Now here for your enjoyment. We've actually finished 5 Parts now and arenearing 20 hours.

Below is a link to my third session with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration. This one goes over 4 hours and I know people don’t have time to listen to all of it in one setting. I WILL be breaking these long discussions down into their individual topics, trying to limit each one to 10 or 12 minutes. But I worked on it last night and there is not a single sentence in some of them that doesn’t provide a salient point. There is, however, quite a bit of repetition in trying to make my explanation clear to Jay and to the viewers and the repetition can certainly be weeded out of many topics.

My committment from the beginning of making these videos, has been to prove everything I say for the viewers and that takes a lot of time when you consider that I reason from first principles and have to explain how fragments of antigen get presented on the surfaces of a few cell-types to notify our immune systems that something is inside our bodies that isn’t supposed to be there - the self vs. non-self explanation-, how our immune cells know which of our own cells to kill and which to leave alone, how viruses get inside our cells using the ACE-2 receptors and how those receptors are part of the Renin-AngiotensinSystem and how that system regulates our blood pressure, body water and even inflammation, not to mention our desire to consume salty foods, how those viruses make copies of themselves once inside, where the N-protein is located in the virus and why it’s important (it stablizes the RNA inside the virus capsule), the M protein, where it is and why it’s important (on the surface of the capsule, it determines the radius of curvature of the virus, an incredibley important factor in the survivability of the virus) ,etc.Not done yet. In order to explain all of this I have to explain what the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is and the difference between Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 MHCs. and how that relates to T-helper cells, T-killer cells and how all these cells recognize each other and, and, and… There I go again.

Sorry about that.

But all of that immunology, pharmacology, biochemistry, etc., gobble-de-goop and, oh yes, physics (probably the most important collection of knowledge required to explain how the “experts” got everything wrong) is why everything I said at the beginning is still true, whereas everyone else who has been making videos on the topic of Covid and the vaccines, and I mean everyone else, has made mistake after mistake. There is an internal medicine doctor on Youtube who even said the virus gets transmitted primarily by water droplets from coughing or sneezing or from touching contaminated surfaces. He’s 100% wrong. The virus is transmitted as an aerosol. Every time you exhale, you send on the order of tens or even hundreds, in some cases, of millions of virus particles out of your mouth and nose, that float on air for considerable periods of time. That internal medicine doctor’s video in which his first sentence is completely and dangerously wrong on one of the most important characteristics of any virus- its mode of transmission from one person to the next- got 6.7 million views, with comments underneath, so full of praise, you would think they are describing The Messiah, himself, when in reality, this doctors video is guaranteed to increase your risk of getting and dying from this disease.

6.7 million views for a “Dr. Reid Sheftall Truth in Science” video? No, not quite. Part 2 with Dr. Bhattacharya got 330 views in the first month after release. At six weeks, it has barely crept over 400 views. I even caught Youtube SUBTRACTING from my view count on Part 2 and Part 1.

I’ve been shadow-banned from the very beginning on YT and FB down to where my videos get around 1500 recorded views on average. I say “recorded” because there’s really no way to know what the real count is. Note: “likes” can decrease but “views” cannot (or aren’t supposed to). But the main way they do me in, thus preventing the correct information from getting out to the public, is by severely limiting the video’s visibility- never recommended, never in the thumbnail list on the side, never comes up, even when you type the exact title of the video in the search bar and hit “search”. For a while, anyway. These critically-important functions come and go.

If you’ve been following me closely since the beginning (and I know a lot of you have (e.g. Ross from Phnom Penh)-thank you Ross Pacini, from the bottom of my heart-I have contradicted the “experts” on roughly 25 major calls and have been proven correct on 24 of them so far. The only one where I might have been wrong is in predicting that after the first season (there were two in 2020 because the initial March/April/May (in the US) surge (earlier in Europe) was just the late 2019/2020 seasonal surge (in the northern hemisphere). If you remember, it came starting in September in China (not December! as they claimed) which explains why Australia and NZ, not ot mention that they are islands out in the middle of the ocean, did so well initially. The surge later in the fall/winter of 2020 should not be added to the March/April/May surge. (Sorry, CDC, White House, Big Pharma, etc. exaggerators, you don’t get to have two winter bumps in one year…) Anyway, I predicted 60,000 deaths in the first season and there were about 170,000 through September, 2020 before the next season began on October 1, 2020 (in the US).

… or were there…?

Hold on to your hats folks… It’s turning out that my prediction was incredibly accurate given that audits recently by counties all over the US are auditing death certificates and subtracting 25% of the deaths. That alone gets us down to 137,500 and we haven’t touched on by far the biggest exaggerator- the incredibly inaccurate and misleading PCR test. I’ll leave my explanation for Part 3 with Jay.

What about the idiotic things Governors did that increased the death count tremendously, like Governor Cuomo and those of Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey sending people with active Covid BACK to nursing homes from the hospital when they were still contagious. Those governors made that utterly idiotic move because they, … get this…, wanted to keep the ICU beds available in case they might need them for Covid patients. They thought there was going to be a huge problem with hospital capacity.

There never was. Most hospitals were emptier than usual as I’ve explained in other videos for reasons such as fear of getting Covid, a moratorium placed on all but emergency surgery, roughly 1/2 of all chemotherapy patients stopping their treatment, 1/2 ofpeople not going in for cancer screening eg colonoscopies, 1/2 of children skipping their vaccines, etc. All of this is going to cause a huge amount of death, by the way.

The people who have looked into the Cuomo’s major league screw-up carefully, say more than 9000 contagious patients were sent back to nursing homes just in New York, killing at least 25,000 extra nursing home residents for absolutely no benefit whatsoever to the hospitals. Remember when Trump had the Mercy ships come into NY Harbor to catch the overflow? There was never any overflow- EVEN WITHOUT ANY FLATTENING OF THE CURVE!- so they turned around and left after a few weeks of delivering babies.

NY had perhaps the most difficult time with Covid-19 and it was made much worse by what Dr., I mean Governor Cuomo did and the incredibly damaging “blunt instrument” approach to patients with low pulse oximetry readings; namely, intubation and postitve pressure ventilation. Of course, the hospitals were getting an extra $38,000 (of the incredible $100,000 per patient average payout per patient) which couldn’t possibly have motivated doctors to use a treatment that made no sense.

Naw, that could never happen.

80+ % of patients put on ventilators died. When patients with the same low pulse-ox readings started getting high flow oxygen through nasal cannulae (little green tubes that rest in your nostrils and blow air with a high percentage of O2 in it), 95% survived. Yes, the cannulas fall out sometimes and require doctors and nurses to be in close contact with their patients more.

Which leads us to another reason why the death count was so high in NY. Many patients were not receiving the treatment and care they normally receive for respiratory diseases. When I do a lung resection or care for any post op patient with lung issues, that patient has to be helped out of bed as soon as it is indicated, even if it is just to get them into a chair so they can sit up for a while. During Covid, many, many patients were neglected and died because of it. Truly disgraceful practices by many medical personnel can be found with minimal effort by searching the internet, as well as truly Herculean efforts on the part of others. Sure, some doctors and nurses were scared of catching it too, but there is a standard that we agree to when we sign up to be doctors and nurses that must be delivered, regardless of the ease of spread and virulence of a disease. I blame the fear to treat that is well-documented now, in part, on the usual suspects: bureaucratic (White House advisors (with the exception of Scott Atlas, M.D.,who was right about almost everything), FDA and CDC docs, etc., TV doctors, the Main Stream Media, and, of course, the pharmaceutical executives and pharmaceutical shill doctors) in particular.

“But this was the first time an unknown disease was so deadly and easy for the doctors and nurses to get! Not true! Covid-19 had a .1% infection fatality rate and much lower for people working in hospitals because they are not “the elderly” and advanced age is by far the most important factor in survivability. You’re ‘Monday morning quarterbacking’.”

No, I’m not. I derived the correct IFR in early March 2020 at .1% - .16% and settled at .12%. This and the folly of lockdowns were the subjects of my FB posts and attempts to alert the authorities and the TV hosts who had large audiences.

“OK. But you’re being hypocritical. You might have not done your duty out of fear too!”

No, I’m not. I was amedical student and then a surgery resident when AIDS came on the scene. Nobody knew why everybody was dying from it and there was no treatment. If you got it, you died. It was worse than finding out you had a very bad, advanced cancer. Treatment has come a long way but back then, we didn’t have anything that worked. Everybody died except for a tiny number of exceptions.

“But AIDS could be avoided if you stopped having sex and getting blood transfusions, no IV drugs. “

No. I am a surgeon. I’m wrist deep in blood every day and was back then too. I could have gotten a broken glove and blood would have gotten all over my cut cuticles- I bite my fingernails- or I could have been cut with the other surgeon’s knife when I was retracting for him with my fingers on a mastectomy or any number of other ways. It happens all the time.

The point is, surgeons and other less-at -risk doctors kept working, despite the risks of a disease with a very high IFR- over 90% back then.

Truly disgraceful practices by many medical personnel can be found with minimal effort by searching the internet. Some patients even starved to death out of neglect. Patients were not gotten out of bed to sit in a chair or walk with assistance. Many died of pneumonia. What about the practice of giving positive pressure ventilation to patients who had low PO2’s in their blood but without labored breathing ?

Why did all of this happen.? It was the fear that pervaded the population, even the medical community, who shouold have known better. I’m not a Covid denier. I know all about the death and destruction it caused. But even at the beginning, its IFR was no higher than the seasonal flu. Sorry, but that’s the truth.

Governor Cuomo started to think he was a doctor and a physicist with his nightly reviews talking about how the lockdowns were going to “flatten the curve” and how he was succeeding at getting more and more ventilators for NY. The truth was that lockdowns could never flatten the curves, as I pointed out on March17, 2020 (and in emails to 2 FOX and two CNN hosts)- after Trump announced on March 15 that we would be going into lockdowns “but they’ll be over by Easter” - remember that?

Doctors and epidemiologists didn’t understand it either, apparently. Dr. Scott Atlas whom I admire greatly, even said something like “well, we didn’t know at first so it was worth a try.”

No, it wasn’t.

Thought for the day: “There is no such thing as ‘the science has changed’. The only thing that changes is an individual’s understanding of science. ”

Update: Dr. Bhattacharya and I have now completed Parts 4 and 5. We are nearing 20 hours and will certainly pass it on our sixth and final video together. Then it’s off to Stanford to do the live Q&A in mid-May. Have your most puzzling answers ready.

To help me combat Youtube’s censoring, would you do me a favor? Go to my YT channel when you are on your computer at home. Click on my videos- particularly the last four with Dr. Bhattacharya- and watch as long as you want, or not at all. Then go to your page of choice and do what you like. before you switch away from my videos, mute them and let them run to the end while youo are doing something else. This is my only chance to fight back. Thank you.
