Los Angeles County tallies highest daily COVID deaths since April 2021 KCRA. IM Doc will say via email:
Paging Dr. Monica Gandhi… yes, Dr. Gandhi. ID TV experts have promised for weeks that California is foolproof against COVID hospitalizations and deaths. Vaccination rates are too high to happen.
Fun fact – I witnessed another expert being asked a question today – “Are these deaths due to omicron or delta?” “Has anyone tested these strains?”
His answer – “Why do you need to do this? It’s clear from the data that Omicron is not fatal.”
These are world experts. You just can’t make up these things.
Scientist GM added:
Monica Gandhi has been one of the most reliable forecasters throughout the pandemic. Almost 100% success rate, you just have to assume the opposite of what she says.

His comments:
I really wanted to portray American medical figures like William Osler, Palmer Howard, Harvey Cushing or William Halstead daring to show up and entertain groups like the World Economic Forum.
I simply can’t do it.
I just can’t imagine any of these heroes thinking it would be appropriate to be in this group anyway. They will avoid it like the plague.
But that didn’t stop Fauci. In doing so, we were shown various indications of his true motivations and corresponding NIH and FDA motivations. What exactly is the World Economic Forum delivering that will take up a minute of our COVID response time?
Also, the part of this tweet about Fauci’s views on non-believers, and more importantly Moderna’s booster program and further vaccination programs, is very revealing.
These people have learned nothing in the past two years. there is nothing. They are doubling down at full speed. Arrogance is overwhelming.

5G goes live in the U.S. and sparks international chaos: British Airways and Cathay Pacific become latest airlines to scramble to change cross-border airlines as AT&T and Verizon activate their networks at 90 percent speed Atlantic flight Daily Mail (Brian C). Note Japan’s JAL and All Nippon Airways have also cancelled flights. and:
Delta Air Lines said in a statement that it “is planning for the possibility of weather-related cancellations due to the deployment of new 5G service near dozens of U.S. airports starting as early as Wednesday.”
What happened to 5G and airplanes? ! YouTube (dcblogger). Care must be taken to understand technical issues. Clearly the FCC has done what France did, and France actually tested it…its 5G implementation is more secure, lower power consumption than the US, and does have some risks.
