In other words……..BE AFRAID……BE VERY AFRAID!

“The early rise in RSV cases and hospitalizations this year might be due to prior Covid-19 precautions that reduced exposure to many viruses”

Yeah, right. Blame Covid.

And guess what? This virus which is basically the “common cold” has been around for MANY decades . But now Big Pharma is touting their research for a Jab.

I’m guessing that they will use mRNA technology and rush this to market without proper testing.

After all – that’s how they roll.

The ruthless Big Pharma Cartel needs to keep the $Billions rolling in.

“RSV (Respiratory syncytial virusis) a common respiratory virus that people get many times over the course of their lives, doctors say. It typically produces mild, cold-like symptoms that resolve within a week, although coughs can linger for longer. For most people, it’s basically a cold.“

“RSV IS SURGING EARLIER THAN NORMAL, PROMPTING CONCERNS OF A TRIPLEDEMIC” Now THAT’S word we’ve not heard. TRIPLEDEMIC – Say that 10 times real fast.

WSJ ARTICLE:

Respiratory syncytial virus—commonly referred to as RSV—has hit earlier than usual this year, causing a surge of cases in emergency rooms and pediatric hospitals. 

Doctors say the early rise in cases and hospitalizations this year is likely due to Covid-19 precautions that reduced our exposure to many viruses, including RSV, in the past few years. Many young children who weren’t exposed to RSV earlier are getting it for the first time this fall.

RSV is a common respiratory virus that people get many times over the course of their lives, doctors say. It typically produces mild, cold-like symptoms that resolve within a week, although coughs can linger for longer. For most people, it’s basically a cold.

The virus can cause serious illness in the very oldest and youngest. People at the highest risk for severe illness and hospitalization are babies under the age of 2, as well as individuals 65 and older, particularly those with chronic heart or lung disease or weakened immune systems.

This year, doctors have also seen slightly older children—ages 2 to 4—hospitalized for RSV, says Daniel Rauch, chief of pediatric hospital medicine at Tufts Medical Center and chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Hospital Care. 

“We’re seeing older kids get sicker than they typically would and it may be because they haven’t seen RSV in the last couple of years,” he says. “I can’t recall seeing this volume of sick preschool kids in my career of several decades.” 

What do you need to know about RSV? Here’s what doctors and immunologists advise.

Symptoms of RSV

The most common symptoms of RSV are similar to the common cold: congestion, sneezing, coughing and fever. The reason the virus is especially dangerous in babies is that they are more prone to bronchiolitis, or inflammation of the small airways in the lungs, which can result in difficulty breathing.

The smaller the child, the smaller the airways, and the easier for them to get plugged up with mucus, says Sarah Combs, a physician and director of outreach for the emergency department at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C.

You can get bronchiolitis from other respiratory viruses, but RSV is the most common cause, says Elizabeth Schlaudecker, a pediatrician and medical director of the division of infectious diseases at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. That’s because many other viruses affect mainly the upper airways but RSV often gets into the lower airways of the respiratory tract. 

In older people, RSV can cause complications of existing chronic conditions or lead to pneumonia.

When to Worry

If you pull up a baby or young child’s shirt and see the skin collapsing between the ribs and their belly sucking in and out, that’s a sign they’re having difficulty breathing and using their muscles to push air in and out, says Dr. Combs. If your child appears to be having difficulty breathing, call your doctor.

Another potential complication in babies, particularly those 6 months and under, is trouble nursing or bottle-feeding when they are congested, resulting in dehydration. Try feeding them with a plastic syringe. If they’re only producing one wet diaper or less every eight hours, call your doctor, says Dr. Combs. 

Children with chronic lung or heart disease are at higher risk of severe illness from RSV, says Dr. Schlaudecker. RSV might also cause worsening asthma symptoms in children with asthma.

Don’t necessarily be too worried about a fever, says Dr. Combs. A fever is a sign the immune system is working. Give your child over-the-counter medication such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to make them comfortable. 

Hospitalizations in the Elderly
While much focus has been on hospitalized babies and young children, elderly people are also getting hospitalized at higher rates than usual, says Ardeshir Hashmi, section chief of Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Geriatric Medicine. 

“The more medical conditions, the more at risk they are,” says Dr. Hashmi. “The more frail they are, the weaker the respiratory muscles and the more difficulty clearing the infection.” 

RSV often can result in worsened lung or heart-disease complications in elderly people, Dr. Hashmi says. During the pandemic, many people missed doctor’s appointments and didn’t stay on top of managing chronic conditions, which might also be fueling some of the rise in RSV hospitalizations.

RSV typically leads to roughly 58,000 to 80,000 hospitalizations in children under 5 years old every year, resulting in 100 to 300 deaths, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It leads to an average of 60,000 to 120,000 hospitalizations in older adults every year and 6,000 to 10,000 deaths.

Treating RSV

Researchers are working on developing vaccines for RSV as well as antiviral medications. But there is currently no vaccine or specific treatment for RSV. 

Pediatricians recommend giving over-the-counter fever reducers to children with high temperatures and making sure they drink enough fluids to avoid dehydration.

Doctors can do rapid RSV tests, but they say there’s no need to bring children in or get them tested unless they are having severe difficulty breathing and require medical attention. 

Hospitalized RSV patients often get oxygen supplementation or IV fluids, says Elizabeth Murray, an emergency-medicine pediatrician at the University of Rochester. In rare cases, intubation with a mechanical ventilator is required.

How RSV Spreads and How to Prevent It

RSV transmits largely through droplets emitted when an infected person sneezes or coughs close to you. You can also get it by touching surfaces contaminated with those droplets and then touching your mouth or nose. 

Washing your hands is especially important to reduce transmission. Cleaning commonly touched surfaces, particularly in settings like day cares and nursing homes, is also a useful prevention strategy. Caregivers can wear masks to help protect themselves. 

Immunity from RSV doesn’t last long, doctors say. You can get infected twice even within one season, Dr. Rauch says.  Source

THE TAKE AWAY:

Big Pharma and the Globalist Elites are conspiring once again to instill FEAR in the hearts of basically everyone!

DO NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOU, BRETHREN!! TRUST GOD and use the common sense He has given to us! Pray without ceasing!

COP27: ALEX NEWMAN’S EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH FOUR KEY PLAYERS IN THE MOVEMENT

SHARM EL SHEIKH, EGYPT — Amid the United Nations COP27 “climate change” conference in Egypt, religious leaders from various faith traditions gathered in Sinai, London, and Jerusalem to repent of their climate sins and unveil what one organizer described as an “addendum” to the Ten Commandments.

In this interview with The New American magazine’s foreign correspondent and senior editor Alex Newman, the figures also touched on what was referred to as a “Third Covenant” to build on the two referenced in the Bible. The controversial exercise, which is deeply intertwined with UN efforts to bring religious people on board, drew heated criticism from various Christian voices and Americans concerned about globalism and efforts to unify world religions.

In this exclusive, unique interview, Alex talks to four key players in the movement: Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development chief Rabbi Yonatan Neril, Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Serafim , Peace Department CEO James Sternlicht, and Mattias Boehning with the World Evangelical Alliance Sustainability Center. The leaders also discuss their vision of religious cooperation in dealing with everything from perceived environmental issues to consumerism and materialism.

FAKE ELECTIONS AND NOW FAKE MEAT: FDA Says Lab-Grown Meat Safe for Human Consumption

On By Geri UngureanIn Lab-Grown Meat8 Comments

I can just hear Klaus Schwab say:

“YOU WILL EAT FAKE MEAT AND YOU WILL LOVE IT!”

From theepochtimes.com

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday cleared meat grown in a laboratory for human consumption, marking the first time the agency has done so.

The decision means that Berkeley, California-headquartered UPSIDE Foods, formerly known as Memphis Meats, will be able to bring its “cultivated chicken” products to the market once it has been inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

According to its website, UPSIDE Foods is a food technology company founded in 2015 that aims to grow “sustainable cultured meat.” It cites investors including Bill Gates and Sir Richard Branson.

The company grows meat, poultry, and seafood by harvesting the cells from live animals and using them to grow the meat inside a cultivator. The cells are constantly nourished with an “optimized” feed that consists of “common compounds found in animal feed and human food, including amino acids, fatty acids, sugars, trace elements, salts, and vitamins.”

The cells are then harvested, inspected, and packaged to be served. UPSIDE Foods says their meat can be molded into any shape, and that it can look identical to your typical conventional-raised poultry.

No Need to Slaughter Billions of Animals

Following a “rigorous evaluation,” the FDA issued the company a “no questions” letter for its cultivated meat, poultry, or seafood, signaling that the agency has accepted UPSIDE’s conclusion that its cultivated chicken is safe to eat.

“We evaluated the information UPSIDE Foods submitted to the agency and have no further questions at this time about the firm’s safety conclusion,” the FDA said. “The FDA’s pre-market consultation with the firm included an evaluation of the firm’s production process and the cultured cell material made by the production process, including the establishment of cell lines and cell banks, manufacturing controls, and all components and inputs.”

While the agency found Upside Foods’ chicken safe to eat, the product is not yet approved to be sold.

“Instead, it means that after our careful evaluation of the data and information shared by the firm, we have no further questions at this time about the firm’s safety conclusion,” the FDA said.

UPSIDE Foods noted that the products they cultivate are not vegan or vegetarian, but are instead “delicious meat, made without the need to raise and slaughter billions of animals.”

Grown From Animal Cells

Additionally, the firm projects that scaled-up cultivated meat production will result in decreased water and land usage compared to conventionally-produced meat, and could potentially help reduce the risk of harmful bacterial contamination, owing to the company’s high testing, safety, and quality control.

CEO and founder, Dr. Uma Valeti, called the FDA’s decision a “watershed moment in the history of food.”

“We started UPSIDE amid a world full of skeptics, and today, we’ve made history again as the first company to receive a ‘No Questions’ letter from the FDA for cultivated meat,” Valeti said in a statement on Nov. 16. “This milestone marks a major step towards a new era in meat production, and I’m thrilled that U.S. consumers will soon have the chance to eat delicious meat that’s grown directly from animal cells.”

Under a 2019 agreement, both USDA and FDA together regulate cell-cultured meat. As the “cultivated chicken” products head closer to entering the market, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service will oversee the processing and labeling.

The FDA on Wednesday also noted that it is ready to work with additional firms developing cultured animal cell food to ensure the food is safe to consume.

UPSIDE Foods’s green light from the FDA comes after cultivated chicken was served to attendees at this year’s COP27 climate conference in Egypt. Source

Now brethren, do you really think that Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari et al will be eating fake meat?

While the masses graze on the lab-grown slop, the powerful globalist elites will be chowing down on rib-eye steak and REAL chicken which have no hormones or antibiotics.

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?
