2021 Year in Review

year. I've been doing I've been doing my other podcast every week. That one's been kind of tough to keep up. It's called Chasing the yield. It's an investment podcast where I'm just kind of figuring out my own investments. And I just kind of go through my portfolios and things that I've done and what's performing what's not what's, what the news is in my particular portfolio. And I do that just in order to keep up on my own stuff. So I know I'm looking at it all the time to

keep track of it. So this one I don't do as often, but I would like to I'd like to try to figure out some way to do it at a specific time, but I haven't been able to do that yet. So I don't know, anyway, this is gonna be a year in review. of 2021 was a fucked up year. You know, it's like, it was worse than 2020 in many ways, because of all the crap that was being pushed on us. And it was reflected in my website, because, you know, I, I blog for fun. And I, you know, like I do

this for fun, I'm not making any money off of it. By the way I could, if you want to make a donation, I could make a few bucks to help fund it and keep it going. While it's not terribly expensive to do this on your own, you know, it does cost a few dollars. So if you get any kind of enjoyment out of this consider it there's a big red donate button on my website. And you can also stream Bitcoin micro payments using this value

for value enabled. And if you're using one of the new podcast apps that support it, you can stream Bitcoin to me or send me a booster gram with a message and little payment. Anyway. Sorry, I keep drinking coffee, I gotta keep my my throat my throat lubricated. That's a for work. Anyway, 2021 was just consumed. Absolutely consumed on my website. And you know, I don't have a huge website, I just have something moderate.

But you know, I probably get a few 100 views a day on different stories depending on what I'm what i've what I've posted. Sorry, I'm distracted again. I did this last time. All right now I'm live streaming on YouTube. And I'm live streaming on Facebook. And I've got too many screens open and I get distracted looking at it. And since this is just me producing this myself there's nobody that can do switching or or looking at different things on screens, calling up different things. So

let me just see here I have. Okay, so by far across my website the most popular stories were on ivermectin and one case in particular, and I'm not even sure how to pronounce her name properly. Nuri J fipe. That was like the biggest one but let me let me start. I'm trying to pull this all up here. Let me start at the at the beginning here. So of the top 10 Let me see what are we got it 1-234-567-8910 So pull up the top 10 stories that were on my website. The first one is,

was about ivermectin ivermectin. The headline was ivermectin the COVID-19 treatment you're not hearing about. It actually posted it on December 11 2020. And what it was it was the seaspan testimony of Dr. Pierre Corey. In front of I think it was a Senate committee. And what happened was, it was on December 8 2020. And here's here's my story. I said at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, Homeland Security, so

don't understand that one. Dr. Pierre Corey gave the above impassioned testimony regarding regarding a drug called ivermectin. And what happened was, get in here.

was broadcast on C span on cable. And YouTube took it down. You know this because it had information on ivermectin. So who knows what's going to happen to this thing that's live on YouTube right now. And he's giving his testimony. So it's public record. And yet they took it down. So I went and downloaded it. So this is on my website. Let me see here,

what are you testing for? If you have no symptoms, getting tested just to get tested this insanity and it will not at least in my in my mind, it will not stop the spread of anything. Just just because I test negative say say I want to go on a trip. Okay. I want to go you know, visit some family back up in Chicago and I want to get on a plane so oh I go get tested, I get tested tomorrow, eight o'clock in the morning comes back. I don't know

how long a PCR test takes, let's say it takes takes few days. So I go, I go get that test, I get the results after three days, and I'm clear it's negative. Well, I could have easily come into contact with anybody that has COVID. Within those three days, before I've even left to go to the plane. Then I go to the plane, and this is vaccinated or unvaccinated it doesn't make a difference. So I go to get on the plane. And how many people do I have to come in contact with before I ever sit

down. And then I'm sitting shoulder to shoulder with somebody flying in coach, mask or no mask, it's not gonna make a difference. If you've ever been on a plane, for crying out loud, you are literally shoulder to shoulder. If you're going to catch something you're going to catch it is nothing's going to help you. I don't care what they talk about what the stupid HEPA filters on the planes and how much fresh air is moved through

the cabin. Anybody who's flown has known somebody blows a stinky ass fart on the plane, whether it's one seat in front of you two seats in front of you, behind you, whatever, you're smelling that shit for a long time. It doesn't go away very quickly. So if you're smelling that, you know, it doesn't matter how many times the air is replaced, or you know, fresh air is brought in, shits gonna spread, you're on a

fucking plane, you're in an aluminum tube. You're sitting shoulder to shoulder with people, you're not going to stop. So the testing to me is just such a waste of time unless you have some symptoms. And they need to know what it is that you have in order to treat you. Other than that, there's no point to it. But the story I had here, and I this is what I said I said use of the PCR test for COVID-19 needs to stop. I think there's more than enough evidence the cycle threshold

used is too high resulting in massive false positives. Now this from a hearing in Canada, as a witness for the government chief microbiologist Dr. Jared Bullard admitted PCR tests do not detect infections well, and were never intended to be used for this purpose, which is also what the guy who created the test said and which also that guy and I can't remember his name offhand. But if you just search for it, you'll find it

because he did not have kind words for Dr. Fauci. In the story that was posted by JC CF, that ca Justice Center for constitutional freedoms. Chief microbiologist and laboratory specialist Dr. Jared Bullard is a witness for the Manitoba government in this

hearing questioned under oath by Justice Center lawyers. On Monday, May 10, Dr. Bullard acknowledged that the PCR test has significant limitations the head of Kadam provincial laboratory in Winnipeg Dr. Bullard admitted that the PCR test results do not verify infectiousness and were never intended to be used to diagnose represent respiratory illness. Dr. Bullard testified that determining whether or not a sample is actually infectious needs to be confirmed by lab

culture. As noted only 44% of the positive samples using a CT cycle threshold of 18 return to viable lab culture samples tested at a cycle threshold of over 25. According to Dr. Bullins report produced no viable lab cultures. Manitoba has confirmed that it utilizes cycle thresholds of up to 40 and even 45. In some cases, this indicates cases resulting from such tests are almost certainly not actually infectious. And

that's been the key with these PCR tests. And even Dr. Fauci said it I believe he said anything over a cycle threshold of 25 We'll find anything we'll find if you're looking for COVID For SARS, cov two you'll find it but the amount of virus and the level of of a virus in your system will be so small that you know, it's it's you're you're not infected, you're not going to be shedding this virus. It's just a remnant. Something that

can't even do anything anymore. That was number nine, number eight, judge ordered hospital to administer ivermectin to COVID-19 patient. This was in May, May 5 2021. And let's see here, I think this is the Nuri de vibe story when it started. Yes. So I ran across this because I I'm from Chicago and I pay attention to Chicago new style I read The Chicago Tribune everyday with this was the story came out of Fox 32 Chicago. Let me check the link because links always go dead after a while.

Okay, now I do have it here. Okay. So from Fox 30 to Chicago the family of near ej fipe Sood, in order to get them to treat their mother with ivermectin. And this is not the only one only story like this this year, this was the one that to me was a little bit more close to home because it's from my hometown or

my hometown area. So the hospital refused. And the reason that the family wanted to give it to her because she was already on a ventilator, and you know, there was no further treatment that the hospital was going to do they were just going to hope for the best. So her daughter wanted her to be put on ivermectin just to see what would happen because they had nothing left to lose. And let's see here I've got the facts 32 I think gonna give me an AED

ivermectin is the drug that Desi foo bay of Elmhurst wants doctors at Elmhurst Hospital to treat her mom with 68 year old no Riya for Bay is in a medically induced coma. I should

have listened to this before. A judge ordered the hospital to administer the drug but the family and their lawyer say the hospital continues to refuse it behaving in defensively when a woman's life is in the balance there a hospital we went to court we have a judge order this is her daughter you have to comply with that I think the judges dismay and and and horror at what's what they're doing matches mine. It's inexcusable.

The FDA does have a page on its website titled Why you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19 which says that the drug has only been approved at very specific doses to treat parasitic worms, and that it is dangerous at large doses. Now for the second straight week, Elmhurst Hospital told told Fox 32 It still cannot comment on this story due to patient

privacy. This is interesting. Meantime, lawyers for the family have filed a contempt of court motion against the hospital, which is set to go before a judge tomorrow morning, Dawn.

succeeding. The next story up is it was an update on this story. And I posted it on May 28. Nuri J. Foo pay, I guess now that I've heard the story, health, her health continues to improve. So they did get the ivermectin administered. Eventually an outside doctor had to come in and do it. The hospital itself wouldn't do it. Let's see here did so after her first dose, her ventilator was reduced from 75% to 65% and she immediately

almost immediately started to improve. And so then on May 28, when the next story came out, her daughter desert, Rita Felipe, gave an update that her mom had her trachea done yesterday. And the surgery went, well thank God she looks stable, but in pain, they're trying to get her off sedation slowly praying for everything to go smoothly. So she started improving. And that's just a few weeks. So let's move forward. Okay, my next most popular story was Afghanistan. August 21 2021.

My headline was now we know why there are so many American citizens and Afghanistan it was really just a post a reposting of a Scott Adams comic, robot read news, robots read news. And the joke was, let's see our investigative reporters track down the Americans living in Afghanistan to find out why they're there. It turns out they all left California seeking a higher quality of life. American paratroopers tried to forcibly make them return to California but the expats fought them to a

draw. Yeah. It's a might not be too far from the truth really. Okay, the next story up is was about Dr. Fauci The New York Times and the PT PCR tests. So here's, okay, it wasn't 25 cycles threshold, it was 35. So let's see here. So this was, this was also November 1 of 2020, that I originally posted this, but it came up here. Let's see 1234. So this is the number five, Story number five. So it still was popular or more popular even than some others. Because here's the way it goes.

So I said in July of this year, Dr. Fauci was on a podcast where they talked about the PCR tests, which are so beloved by the news media and how a positive test using a cycle threshold of greater than 35 is essentially worthless. Now, this is from a tweet, let me see the tweet. I did that I did not embed the tweet. Why? I don't know. Let's see if it's still here. No, the tweet is not from a suspended account. So that one is dead, that link is dead. And I should have saved the recording because

it had him on from the podcast talking about this. So then I went on to say then, in August this year in New York, the New York Times ran a story about how 90% of the PCR test of the positive PCR tests they analyze were run at a cycle threshold of 37, which meant that 90% of the confirmed cases had levels of the virus that were not transmissible. And quoting the story, I pulled out some quotes and said the PCR

test samples genetic matter from the virus in cycles. The fewer cycles required the greater the amount of virus or viral load in the sample. The greater the viral load, the more likely the

patient is to be contagious. The number of amplification cycles needed to find the virus, called the cycle threshold is never included in the results sent to doctors and Coronavirus patients, although it could tell them how infectious the patients are in three sets of testing data that includes cycle thresholds compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90% of the people testing positive carried barely

any virus review by The Times found. On Thursday, the United States recorded 45,604 New Coronavirus cases according to a database maintained by the times if the rates of contagiousness in Massachusetts in New York were to apply nationwide, then perhaps only 4500 of those people may actually need to isolate and submit the contact tracing. That's a mouthful. Okay, so let me see if that link is still there. Yeah, that link is still alive. It's still good. I've already reached my limit of

free articles. So let's see. This was dated August 29 2020. The author of this story is a Poorva manda Vili manda villi. I apologize if I mispronounce that. So that's the New York Times so you have Dr. Fauci talking about the cycle threshold, anything above 35 being worthless. And then the New York Times reporting that the cycle threshold for the PCR tests that they analyze were being run at 37. So what was what was the point here? You know, why, why would they run

the test? So so so many cycles to make it so sensitive? You know, what was the agenda? Next story up, was I published it June 19 2018. One, and it was another update on your EJ fu PE said that she continued to improve. i What I did was I took a look at her daughter's Twitter account and discovered that she had some good news that she continued to improve and move on

to a new treatment to aid in her recovery. Without that Judge ordering her to be treated with ivermectin, you know, maybe she would not have recovered at all we don't know, obviously, because you can't prove the negative. But obviously, she wasn't improving. Without it. The news media kind of dumped her story, especially the Chicago news media it gets mentioned every now and again now, but it doesn't really get

covered much as a COVID success story. She did have a GoFundMe to help with their medical expenses and maybe legal expenses and I don't think it did that well. But if everybody that looked at this story just posted $1 she probably would have done well over what she should have oh shoot see I'm doing the stupid thing live and I forgot to switch to the stories so if you are watching this on YouTube, you got nothing out of it. He was just looking at my my logo. It's a good thing

that that many people look at this. Let's see where am I? Oh, you know what, I even have the wrong I have the wrong browser. I didn't even prepare this properly. This is for the stupid thing that is looking at is for my other podcast. So I gotta get rid of that. Sorry. Here's some static. Let me pull up the proper app window. i Let's see. Let's try this one. There we go. Now it's in the right place. Okay. The worst podcast in the

universe. Alright, next story up number three. It was Dr. Pierre quarry against again being very passionate about ivermectin and he laid the smackdown on the FDA lies about ivermectin. So this was posted August 27 2021. And I get a picture of my own personal box of ivermectin that I received. I said in a short series of tweets, Dr. Pierre Cory corrects the lies the FDA

is peddling about ivermectin. Why is the FDA able to to disseminate such misinformation about a drug that's been around forever proven to be safe for humans and won the Nobel Prize for treating disease in humans? So what happened was is the FDA let's see, did I put that here? I've got links to theirs. What did I do with the FDA story? I

can't remember now. But the FDA basically came out and was talking about everybody taking horse paste and warning against people to take to stop to horse horse paste and Dr. Peary went on a little appear Cory went on a little Twitter rant, where he just kind of dissected everything and he said tragic levels of absurdity rise for higher media keep saying ivermectin is for animals when it won the Nobel Prize for

globally solving to endemic diseases in humans. The USDA tells jokes and lies were wild cases explode and people are dying. Horse joke not funny you jackasses He's hilarious. So let's see line number one was ivermectin actually one of the safest meds in history line number two, actually, not one. Actually not one proven death from ivermectin ever overdose or not. Line Number three, the FDA says do not use in COVID. But admit, we haven't reviewed the data. Line Number four. We don't

need your fucking approval to prescribe. It's called off label use and 1000s are prescribing. So he's been on this crusade. And it's not necessarily just for ivermectin because the FLCC has revised their protocols a few times this past year. When it comes to treatment Iver either for prevention or for if you if you have COVID If you've tested positive or you're feeling sick, they have a different protocol for actually being sick versus trying to prevent being sick. And they've

changed that up. So number two, was another update on your EJ fu pay slowly improving after court ordered Illinois Hospital to administer ivermectin. So this was again another update on her as she started to improve, I think the the sequence in and people reviewing are going through this are kind of out of

order. But this is the way that they looked at them. I was a little ticked off because the reporter John Coleman, I tweeted at him if there was a response, and if if he found out if there was any further information, he responded me and said he didn't have an update, because it's not in the court system. So there was no public information. And he replied to me, publicly, it

wasn't like a direct message or anything. So I went, and I just tweeted to the daughter myself, and I just asked if there was an update, you know, the people were very interested in her mother's story. And she responded to me, and, you know, gave me the update that she was improving. So I sent an email back to the reporter for the Chicago Tribune, and told him Hey, this is the update, which he never bothered to report on at all. And apparently just never, you know, contacted them

again after his initial story. But what happened was, after I did that, and I responded back to the reporter, all this stuff was public. He deleted the tweet the original tweet. And I don't know why he would delete the tweet. Because it was all public. Let me see. Let me go back to that. Got my one reply. Yes, he his reply to me is gone. So that one is gone. But they just basically wanted to ignore it. But it didn't go away because there were other stories about ivermectin and lawsuits

and success over in 2021. So the number one story that I had was, again, Nuri J coupe. And it was just that she got out of the hospital and returned home. And that was July 4, that I posted this and her daughter tweeted that out on July 2. So my entire year in review was near EJ fu Pei and ivermectin and COVID related stories. I'm hoping 2021 doesn't go down this path. Because it's, it's really tiring. I'm sure. You know, I'm know everybody's sick

and tired of this shit. But I, you know, I feel I definitely feel you can feel a little bit of looseness in the corners of this, you can get a sense that there's a significant portion of the American population, at least that, you know, are increasingly getting sick of it. What it leads to, I don't know. And I you know, I get the feeling that 2022 is going to be

our inflection point year. Either we continue down this path of nonsense, where, at the at every single little report of some virus, that the government's are going to go into this panic mode of lockdown, masking and vaccination. The doors been opened, this isn't, you know, 1918 anymore. This is 2021. And the methods for contacting people is immediate. In 1918. It took a while for people to figure things out and find out the news. Their direct pipelines

in the people's brains right now. People you know, I'm not just talking about regular people I'm talking about the government and the media have a direct pipeline into people's brains. There was a story on the Wall Street Journal about tick tock. Let me find it. Let me go find this. And the basis of the story was that teens I guess, in particular, where the heck is it? I didn't blog it this morning either. Because it's Christmas. So I've been just doing other things. What the

heck that should not be playing whatever that's playing. Let's meet that tab. What the heck was playing I don't know just started pumping through my headphones. Anyway it was had to do with a teens watching tick tock. And they're getting convinced that they have some mental disorders that they don't really have. Because the algorithm for tic tock is once you start watching one type of video just keeps feeding you those videos over and over and over and over again. And so,

consider that consider that same. That same problem but applied towards vaccines, and COVID and masking, with people constantly telling you that you're killing other people by not putting on a mask, that you're killing other people by not getting vaccinated. Here's here's a story. Mikayla. Sure friends positive COVID test shows threat to Olympic stars. You know, there's Elon Musk chatting away where's the TIC tock story? I well, I should learn learn my lesson and blog

with things when I find them. But so if if teenage you know, and it was mostly teenage girls that was in the story, you know, like with Instagram giving them poor body image, I guess. So this is happening to adults as well. Adults that consume too much cable TV news. Too much network news. Too much of the echo chamber that is social media, Twitter, Facebook, Tik

Tok. Your your brain can't handle it. And if you're not, if you're if you don't want to think critically or question or skip, be skeptical about everything that you're that you hear even things that you that you believe to be true, you have to be skeptical about it. And it's not like you're going to, you know, have proof for absolutely everything that you believe, you know, some things can't be proven, or, you know,

there just simply isn't enough information yet. But you can think critically about it and use some common sense. And if we just would have applied some of that this year, I think we would have been out of it. Not only that, but if Trump would have just shut his mouth and would have won reelection. And the Senate didn't fall to, you know, being a 5050 split. I think we would have already been out of this. Because really, this is just a psychosis that's happening right

now. And mass, the the phrase mass formations being thrown about, but really, I don't I don't think it's mass formation there. I don't think there's any real organized effort. You know, I think this is a problem that people have been primed for this for decades. And with the rise of celebrity culture, follow the experts culture, follow the science, the science is settled, you know, this has to do with climate change as well, that

people were primed. They were primed to just go along there, you know, and what's happening now with the news and with government, is that they're pitting people against each other. And if that doesn't stop, things are not going to go well. That's why I think 2022 will be the inflection point. Now I've got trips set for 2022. I was thinking people were gonna come to their senses in 2021. And I, you know, my wife and I can go start traveling again. So we had plans to go to Italy, in June

and Paris in late September. The trip to Italy is probably going to be put off or cancelled. Because Europe is crazier than the United States. You know, they're there. They're throwing down lockdowns and restrictions at the drop of a hat. You know, like with the omachron variant problem, where France started restricting people coming in from the UK. Now, I'm not coming in from the UK, you know, becoming from the United States. But his last thing I want to do is travel to a foreign country,

and then have the protocols change. And I can't get home. You know, whether it's the changing changing in the United States or changing overseas, I can't get home. And I am right now I am unvaccinated. I have no plans to get vaccinated because I'm in a low risk group. You know, I feel that at least right now, you know, that there would be more risk to me from taking an experimental vaccine than there would be from catching

COVID. I don't have any of the comorbidities that are have normally, at least in the last two years that we know of now contribute to severe COVID and death. I'm not obese. I don't have type two diabetes, and I'm not over 70 years old. Yeah, so I'll take my chances. It's like getting a car and driving. You have to assess your own risk. So 2022, do you make resolutions I don't make resolutions. And the reason is, is because I feel if you're going to do it, you're just going to do it. You don't

need a new year, a new week, a new month. To get started, you don't have to, you know, I'm going to wait until Monday and start. If you really want to do it, you'll just do it. And you don't need any of that stuff. So I never make resolutions. I don't, I don't believe in them. I think they're a waste of time, it's people seem to have a need to fluff themselves up. So that to me, is what the resolutions are there. fluffers. Don't

Google fluffers if you've never heard the term before. But hopefully, hopefully things get better because we're all tired of it. I would like to take the trip with my wife so we can do what we planned on doing. And we can get back to normal or normal mode. Go ahead and visit the website, Kevin bayt.com. Take a look at the shownotes where I've got links to the donate button and stuff pertaining to podcasting 2.0 and value for

value. If you're that, that's my dog scratching. But if I don't podcast again this week, which I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do, this one's kind of long. 43 minutes. I don't normally Yammer around for this long. You know, I've been toying around with the idea of maybe just doing it daily and just doing something quick 510 minutes, you know, in and out and then what they you know, recap or maybe put the whole thing together at the end of the week for you know, one long podcast.

I don't know. I'll toy with it. That's That's my New Year's resolution. Anyway that's all I got
