I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

These are IPCC numbers.
The 'scientific consensus', so to speak.
Also see 'Global warming in the pipeline' (Hansen et al., 2023) where we wrote:
"We conclude that the GHG increase since 1750 already produces a climate forcing equivalent to that of 2 × CO₂"

I've asked every climate scientist who should know if they are aware of research on the climate effects of the additional 80% desulphurisation over the Mediterranean next May.
They were all completely oblivious about the new IMO regulation.

What we lack, is a #LongCOVID clinical test for SARS-CoV persistence to be able to evidence that many who are suffering post-vaccine injury symptoms are in fact suffering from #LongCOVID from an asymptomatic SARS-CoV infection. An infection that was less severe, because of their vaccine immunity.

The vaccine spike cannot produce the Fibrinogen caused by viral spike. Even the viral spike cannot cause fibrinogen on it's own. What is required for micro-clots are other viral proteins in addition to the spike protein with plasmin cleavage ability.

A: 150 years back in time. Why?
Not via infant mortality, thanks to hygiene and medicine. But 100-150 years ago, humans lived with constant bovine coronavirus (BCoV) outbreaks from unpasteurized milk.
For Bach to Beethoven, life expectancy was about 40 yo. We can do this again!
