Covid's Lesser Evil 00:13:04
After testing thousands of people for COVID-19, Dr. Dan Erickson, co-owner of Accelerated Urgent Care in Bakersfield, California, held a news conference to release their data, compare it to the CDC's data, and deliver a powerful message.
COVID-19 is more present and less fatal than we were told.
The numbers say that it is less of a danger than influenza.
And the shelter-in-place order is causing far more damage than good.
Their information is based on science, and the message is chilling.
You can see the full video at banned.video, but here is the gist of it.
Does this make sense?
Are we following the science?
We keep hearing following the science.
What is science essentially?
It's the study of the natural world through experiment, through observation.
So that's what we're doing.
We're studying the disease around us.
We're making observations.
We're doing testing experiments to figure out exactly what's going on.
And so this has caused some severe disruption for Accelerated as we have people coming in 7 in the morning till midnight.
We're reporting to the health department.
We're calling patients back.
And at the same time, our volumes have dropped significantly.
The hospitals, their ICUs are empty, essentially, and they're shutting down floors.
They're furloughing patients.
They're furloughing doctors.
So the health system has been evacuated in certain places.
In New York, the health system is working at maximum capacity.
In California, we're really at a minimal capacity getting rid of our doctors and nurses because we just don't have the volume.
The hospitals don't, as I've met with our CEOs twice in the last week, and we don't as well.
So we're busy with paperwork for COVID, and we're all focusing on COVID.
So the more you test, the more positives you get, the prevalence number goes up, and the death rate stays the same.
So it gets smaller and smaller and smaller.
And as we move through this data, what I want you to see is millions of cases, small amount of death.
Millions of cases, small amount of death.
So if we look at California, these numbers are from yesterday.
We have 33,865 COVID cases out of a total of 280,900 total tested.
That's 12% of Californians were positive for COVID.
As you guys know, the initial models were woefully inaccurate.
They predicted millions of cases of death, not of prevalence or incidence, but death.
That is not materializing.
What is materializing in the state of California is 12% positives.
We've seen 1,227 deaths in the state of California with a possible incidence or prevalence of 4.7 million.
That means you have a 0.03 chance of dying from COVID-19 in the state of California.
I also wanted to mention that 96% of people in California who get COVID recover with almost no significant sequelae or no significant continuing medical problems.
So I want to look at New York State.
They've been in the news a lot, right?
And their numbers are critical.
Let's go over their numbers.
Cases of COVID as of yesterday, 256,272 cases in New York State, not New York City, New York, the entire state.
They did a total of 649,325 tests.
That's 39% of New Yorkers tested positive for COVID-19.
That's their ratios.
This is public data online.
You can all look it up.
How many deaths do they have?
19,410 out of 19 million people, which is a 0.1% chance of dying from COVID in the state of New York.
And they have a 92% recovery rate.
If you are indeed diagnosed with COVID-19, 92% of you will recover.
So we're seeing millions of cases, small amount of death.
USA, this is a big one for us.
802,590 cases as of yesterday gives us a 19.6% positive out of those who were tested.
So if this is a typical extrapolation, 328 million people times 19.6 is 64 million.
That's a significant amount of people with COVID.
It's similar to the flu.
If you study the numbers in 2017 and 2018, we had 50 to 60 million with the flu.
And we had a similar death rate.
The deaths in the United States were 43,545.
Similar to the flu of 2017-2018.
We always have between 37 and 60,000 deaths in the United States every single year.
No pandemic talk, no shelter in place, no shutting down of businesses, no sending doctors home.
COVID-19 is one aspect of our health sector.
What has it caused to have us be involved in social isolation?
What does it cause that we are seeing the community respond to?
Child molestation is increasing at a severe rate.
We could go over multiple cases of children who have been molested due to angry family members who are intoxicated, who are home, who have no paycheck.
These things last a lifetime.
This isn't about a seasonal flu.
These are things that will follow these people and affect them in a negative fashion for their life.
And these are secondary effects from COVID.
And these are for me talking to ERs, talking to my doctors, and talking to people across the country and finding out what they're seeing.
Spousal abuse.
We see people coming in here with black eyes and cuts on their face.
It's an obvious abusive case.
These are things that will affect them for a lifetime, not for a season.
Alcoholism, anxiety, depression, suicide.
I talked to the Donnie Youngblood and various people in the community.
I've asked them, how are things going?
Suicide is spiking.
Education has dropped off.
Economic collapse.
Medical industry, we're all suffering because our staff isn't here and we have no volume.
These are all real things that I'm seeing every day.
I don't read about this stuff.
I'm seeing it in my clinics.
We have clinics from Fresno to San Diego and these things are spiking in our community.
These things will affect people for a lifetime, not for a season.
So let's make sure we're clear on that.
We've gone over the statistics.
Now I want to compare flu virus.
Is this significantly different?
Deaths per the CDC, 24,000 to 62,000 deaths each year.
We had about 45 million total cases in 2017 with about 62,000 deaths, or a 0.13 chance of death from flu in the United States.
As you know, our other numbers were 0.02.
So the lethality of COVID-19 is much less.
And then when you bring up a system of lockdown, you automatically have to compare it to a system of no lockdown.
The immune system is built by exposure to antigens, viruses, bacteria.
When you're a little child crawling on the ground, putting stuff in your mouth, viruses and bacteria come in, you form an antigen antibody complex, you form IgG, IgM.
This is how your immune system is built.
You don't take a small child, put them in bubble wrap in a room and say, go have a healthy immune system.
This is immunology microbiology 101.
What I'm seeing is when you take human beings and you say, go into your house, clean all your counters, Lysol them down, you're going to kill 99% of viruses and bacteria.
Wear a mask, don't go outside.
What does that do to our immune system?
Our immune system is used to touching.
We share bacteria, staphylococcus, streptococcal bacteria, viruses.
We develop an immune response daily to this stuff.
When you take that away from me, my immune system drops.
As I shelter in place, my immune system drops.
You keep me there for months, it drops more.
And now I'm at home hand washing vigorously, washing the counters, worried about things that are indeed what I need to survive.
When a child is in a womb, you're in this protected environment.
When you come out, you have almost no immune system.
You develop that through touching your mouth, touching your eyes, virus, bacteria, virus, bacteria, immune response, IgG, IgM.
This is how you build a strong immune system.
Sheltering in place decreases your immune system.
And then as we all come out of shelter in place with a lower immune system and start trading viruses and bacteria, what do you think is going to happen?
Disease is going to spike.
And then you've got disease spike amongst a hospital system with furloughed doctors and nurses.
This is not the combination we want to set up for a healthy society.
As your mask that you're wearing for days, you touch the outside of it, COVID, and then touch your mouth.
This doesn't make any sense.
We wear masks in an acute setting to protect us.
We're not wearing masks.
Why is that?
Because we understand microbiology, we understand immunology, and we want strong immune systems.
I don't want to hide in my home, develop a weak immune system, and then come out and get diseased.
We have both been in the ER through swine flu and through bird flu.
Did we shut down for those?
Were they much less dangerous than COVID?
Is the flu less dangerous than COVID?
Let's look at the death rates.
No, it's not.
And when someone, what's interesting to me too is when someone dies in this country right now, they're not talking about the high blood pressure, the diabetes, the stroke.
They say, do they die from COVID?
We've been to hundreds of autopsies.
You don't talk about one thing.
You talk about comorbidities.
Their vessels were narrowed.
Their lungs were a smoker.
COVID was part of it.
It is not the reason they died, folks.
It is one of many reasons.
So to be so simplistic, to say, that's a COVID death because they have COVID, you know how many people die with pneumonia or people that die from flu, with flu, I should say, it's not from flu.
Their lungs were compromised by COPD.
They had a heart attack two years ago.
They have a weakened body.
We aren't pressured to test for flu.
But ER doctors now, my friends that I talk to say, you know, it's interesting.
When I'm writing up my death report, I'm being pressured to add COVID.
Why is that?
Why are we being pressured to add COVID to maybe increase the numbers and make it look a little bit worse than it is?
I think so.
When I look at the basic tenets that we know of microbiology and I say, do we need to still shelter in place?
Our answer is emphatically no.
Do we need businesses to be shut down?
Emphatically no.
Do we need to test them and get them back to work?
Yes, we do.
The secondary effects that we went over, the child abuse, alcoholism, loss of revenue, all these are, in our opinion, a significantly more detrimental thing to society than a virus that has proven similar in nature to the seasonal flu we have every year.
We need to make sure if you're going to dance on someone's constitutional rights, you better have a good reason.
You better have a really good scientific reason and not just theory.
One of the most important things is we need our hospitals back up.
We need our furloughed doctors back.
We need our nurses back because when we lift this thing, we're going to need all hands on deck.
I know the local hospitals have closed two floors.
Folks, that's not the situation you want.
We're essentially setting ourselves up to have minimal staff and we're going to have significant disease.
That's the wrong combination.
And I've been working with some of the leaders and I've talked to the head of the CDPH.
I've gotten their opinion on this and a lot of the leaders in Sacramento.
And we're all in agreement.
But we need to have Governor Newsom in agreement with us to lift this ban.
I've talked to our local head of the health department, and he's waiting for that.
Even though they're in agreement with me, they're waiting for the powers that be to lift.
Because the data is showing us it's time to lift.
So if we don't lift, what is the reason?
I can go into Sully's right now, which I did this morning.
There were 25 people in there, and I can stand in line for 10 minutes, but I can't go in Cafe Rio and sit there for 10 minutes.
Does that make sense to you guys?
And I can go into Costco and I can shop with people, and there's probably a couple hundred people, but I can't go in Cafe Rio.
So big businesses are open, little businesses are not.
There's no science behind that, as we've gone over.
That is not science.
There's other factors in play that we don't have time to go into, but it's not science.
I want to make that clear.
Ammo Rush 00:00:50
They're going to use this model for different things.
We got a bomb threat from China.
Everybody stay in their home for three months.
What?
They are using this to see how much of their freedom can they take from you.
And will you roll over and stay in your house?
And it's working.
And if you notice the way Americans are responding, if you go to any gun store in town, guess what they're out of?
Ammo.
None of them have ammo.
I went to three of them.
They said thousands of rounds have been bought.
Why?
People are mad.
They're starting to post on my Facebook with their AKs going, let's roll.
So what I'm saying is, let's avoid all that.
Because if you stomp on our freedoms, that has one ending, and it's violence.
All right.
