Mary Jo Cagle Pushes Masks, Scams Board of Commissioners

Cone Health's new CEO, Dr. Mary Jo Cagle, participated in the meeting of the Guilford Board of County Commissioners during which they re-enacted the county-wide mask mandate. The News and Record joyfully posted video of an exchange during which she tearfully indicated how demoralized her staff was because of all the COVID admissions. The newspaper obviously felt her comments were wonderful.

This demoralization of the Cone Health System staff was presumably to be regarded as justification for enacting the mask mandate. Of course, Cagle is not even remotely a public health expert; nor does she possess particular expertise on governmental mask mandates. She follows the tradition of the preceding Cone Health CEO who repeatedly prevailed upon units of local government in the region to lock down their respective economies and take away the liberties of citizens. 

The Cone Health System was quite happy to take away people's livelihoods. Setting a tone of fear and panic and hysteria would be sure to drive away health care staff from working in the midst of the pandemic. It also would keep patients away from medical facilities. Those in the executive suites exulted in creating a perfect storm.

Cone's lockdowns nearly two years ago did not work, and arguably caused much harm; and moreover, we are still dealing with COVID today. But we are now supposed to believe that masks are the silver bullet.

If the staff of Cagle's hospital system is demoralized, it is because of severe understaffing. After her predecessor helped drive staff away with hysteria, Cagle dutifully enacted a vaccine mandate for employees nearly as soon as she was installed in her position. She should have known better as a physician. But in fact, this probably drove staff away also... justifiably. Hospital systems nationwide have less bed capacity than usual because of understaffing-- and I doubt Cone is an exception.

The Cone Health System more recently has been promoting Covid vaccines for children-- which ought to be regarded as a crime against humanity. Once again, Dr. Cagle ought to know better.

If Mary Jo Cagle's staff is demoralized, it is because of the way the system's leadership behaved in response to the pandemic and ensuing events. Instead of principled, courageous, ethical leadership, they have consistently gotten the precise opposite.

GOP-Controlled SCOTUS: OK For Health Care Workers to Die From COVID Vaccines Even if Not At Risk

The Supreme Court today elucidated the "reasonable", "responsible" Republican position regarding federal vaccine mandates enacted by Joe Biden.

It was entirely acceptable-- indeed, desirable-- to vacate the OSHA mandate, in the eyes of the prototypical Republican public official.

But the health care mandate? Why, imagine what people would think if we Republicans caused them to feel "unsafe" in the health care setting! That was a political risk that simply could not be taken.

It was "reasonable" to force vaccines on health care workers because it would prevent them from spreading COVID to patients. It was "reasonable" even if some young health care workers who were not even at risk of COVID complications would get killed by the vaccines.

Of course, the medical facts-- that the vaccines don't reliably prevent transmission, and that they harm large numbers of people--were not considered by the progressive Republican justices (i.e., Roberts and Kavanaugh). These medical facts were presented in various briefs before the court that apparently did not get read by our esteemed justices-- er, oligarchs.

Of course, the socialist wing voted in lockstep, but the GOP justices split. The ruling majority apparently felt that Congress legislatively gave the federal government this power to force vaccines on health care workers. Of course, Roberts and Kavanaugh conveniently overlooked the Constitution itself under which it would be unthinkable for the federal government to enact such requirements.

Face Masks and Dear Nancy's Re-Election

It is always interesting to watch the socialists squabble with each other. 

Skip Alston, the Chairman of the Guilford Board of County Commissioners, wanted to implement a  county-wide mask mandate once again. But dear Nancy Vaughan, our esteemed Greensboro mayor, refused to implement it. She-- all of a sudden-- indicated it would be too difficult to enforce after having previously implemented such mandates. Skip was not happy because the exclusion of Greensboro from the county mask mandate left a gaping hole in his plan.

What motivated Vaughan's change of heart? 

Could it be that she is running for re-election this year? She is facing a spirited challenge from Justin Outling.

Now, would it be beyond the realm of possibility that political considerations dictate when masks are required, and when they are not? We can count on the fact that Nancy's decisions are not based upon logic or reason or a commitment to personal liberty.

Interesting Exchange

What the socialists have been doing in connection with January 6 is outright contemptible. Ted Cruz stubbed his toe last week, but he now seems to be redeeming himself. This exchange raises a few red flags:

McCullough Comments Illustrate How NC State Government, Hospital Systems, Physicians Have Dropped the Ball

Below you will find another outstanding presentation by Dr. Peter McCullough.

His focus is on early treatment for Covid-19. But he is particularly critical of the federal government, the hospital systems and yes, physicians, for failing to recommend and deliver effective early treatment. He also is intensely critical of the hospital systems and physicians for the substandard inpatient care being delivered systematically.

My one quibble with his statements is that the federal government is NOT responsible for these matters. Public health is supposed to be at the STATE level. Mandy Cohen (who is now gone), Governor Cooper and secondarily the NC General Assembly bear responsibility in North Carolina for the fact that early treatment has not been emphasized and normalized. This has cost many thousands of lives in North Carolina.

He also has some interesting comments that the Covid vaccines appear to be having little beneficial effect fighting the Omicron variant. This has implications for governmental agencies, hospital systems and private employers that foolishly require or mandate the vaccine despite the excessive risks associated with these products:

Here is his talk:

Recalling the Covid Regime

A 40 Percent Increase in Death Rates for Young and Middle-Aged Adults

The news from the midwestern insurance company was a bit startling, but we then learn that a similar phenomenon is being observed among other insurers. These organizations are among the most apt to be sensitive to a change of this type because it affects their bottom line in a fundamental way.

A 40 percent increase in mortality among young and middle-aged adults is a BIG DEAL. And the insurer made it clear it was not attributable to COVID infections.

Individuals and organizations concerned about potential adverse effects-- including deaths-- caused by the vaccines have been making noise for many months. Certainly other aspects of governmental handling of COVID could still be causing some deaths-- as the lockdowns did-- but the impact of the vaccines loom large. Some degree of insight had been afforded by the federal VAERS data, but it has limited utility because of massive systematic underreporting.

In fact, the vaccines have been killing a bunch of people, and some are predicting many more will die.

Some of us attempted to warn that this was prone to happen, or that it was happening. But political correctness is a huge problem. It has plagued our nation for decades; but the most recent usage was to shut down and marginalize those who had concerns regarding the vaccines. The American people live in two different worlds-- one dominated by false information peddled by the media/left complex; and the other comprised of the rest of the country. Those who reside in the first group have no idea what has been happening, and have been willfully led down the road of death and disability by those pushing the vaccine.

In many cases, those who received the vaccine didn't really need it. 

Pastor Chuck Baldwin had a great quote from Ron Paul about the entire situation:

When we look back at these two years, hopefully one thing that will be remembered is how the institutions of state power have all lost their credibility. They have been exposed as frauds and worse.

This is certainly true of the entire federal health apparatus and our state health department in North Carolina. But it also is true of the political class that has uniformly fumbled this situation. A great example is the Republican North Carolina General Assembly, which had the opportunity to ban vaccine mandates but would not even try to do so.

There is little question that the contemporary left is satisfied with all these deaths. They desire depopulation to serve their environmental agenda; and they want to replace native Americans with foreigners. 

But the Republicans have been utter fools and cowards. They should have spoken out and taken action, but they refused to do so. And large parts of their constituency had the vaccine forced upon them unnecessarily. 

My understanding is that Dr. Peter McCullough might be testifying before the Supreme Court tomorrow when the vaccine mandates are being discussed. If that truly happens-- and I am not sure if it will-- it might be pretty interesting.
