Happy New Year, y'all! Let's put 2021 and the 'VID to bed! The data seem to show Omicron is highly transmissible and very mild. CDC is putting its prevalence at 60-75%. The data also seem to show that Omicron breaks through prior immunity from both the vaccine and natural infection. Combine that with NYE, where millions pack into small places to dance, kiss, drunkely yell & sing, and ritually make out at midnight. I'm calling the superest of super-spreaders. This will surely lead to some bad outcomes for some, the law of large numbers and all, but, in the end, it will likely get us on our way to widespread natural/herd immunity. In other words, tonight is our collective date with Omicron.   Thankfully, the wise rulers of major US cities are putting vax mandates in place after the new year. B/c that makes sense.Topics: COVID, Omicron, Vaccine mandates (Boston, DC, Chicago), Data, Scare Tactics, Breakthroughs, Super-spreadersMentioned: Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. John CampbellUPDATE, 12/31: I insinuated Dr. Campbell was an MD, which I had assumed. (Bad, John, Bad!) He's actually a PhD in nursing, a retired nursing prof and textbook author. I don't think this makes him any less qualified to review data. Personally, I hate when anyone who isn't an MD/DO refers to him or herself as "doctor." While his bio is on his YouTube page and elsewhere online, I do think he should be more clear with his credentials. https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/boston-vaccine-mandate-indoor-omicronhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/major-city-to-require-vaccine-to-enter-restaurants/ar-AAS4d06https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/covid19-vaccine/home/chi-vaccine-requirement.htmlDr. Angelique Coetzee, WION, 12/30/21-- https://www.msn.com/en-in/video/watch/dr-angelique-coetzee-exclusive-on-rising-number-of-covid-19-cases-globally/vi-AAShCNjDr. John Campbell, Omicron so Far, 12/28/21 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HN6cIfp5T4Dr. John Campbell, Most Omicron Hospitalizations Incedental, 12/29/21--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM2VgBm9pTI Dr. Peter McCullough bio: https://www.heartplace.com/dr-peter-a-mcculloughDr. John Campbell about: https://www.youtube.com/c/Campbellteaching/about

Next: China vs. US manufacturing for the American entrepreneur.  COVID hysteria - Deaths by age - BY THE NUMBERS.  Segregating NYC by race - via the jabs.  Australia has gone mad.

A 30-minute, info-rich, thoroughly sourced (links below) overview of the ivermectin story. Is ivermectin an effective treatment and preventative drug for COVID?

In episode three, I discuss the Colonial Pipeline hack. This event shows, yet again, the fragility of our hyperconnected, high-tech society. To no one's surprise, the media seems more interested in pushing a narrative than delivering critical information. In case the pandemic wasn't enough, the pipeline hack should provide more motivation for you to achieve at least a basic level of preparedness. I give you some tips on how you can do just that.   https://www.johncguthrie.com/PatreonTwitterJohnCGuthrieShow AT G mail Dot ComCreative Commons Music by Jason Shaw on Audionautix.com

Dave Erickson, a Canadian veteran of the Bosnian War, an electrical and computer engineer, and a defense scientist with Canada's DoD for nearly 20 years, joined more for a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation. We covered current tensions between the US and the Chinese Communist Party, and how the CCP's role in the COVID crisis is likely to make matters much worse. By extension, we discussed why the US must develop an economy that better serves its citizens and how such an economy could help repair some of the fractures in American society. https://www.johncguthrie.com/PatreonTwitterJohnCGuthrieShow AT G mail Dot ComCreative Commons Music by Jason Shaw on Audionautix.com

Among Biden's recently announced executive action on guns are his plans to further regulate "stabilizing braces." In this episode, I explain what this all means, how this will harm gun owners and make the best home defense more expensive and difficult, all while doing absolutely nothing to curb mass shootings.https://www.johncguthrie.com/PatreonTwitterJohnCGuthrieShow AT G mail Dot ComCreative Commons Music by Jason Shaw on Audionautix.com
