Tuberculosis

Did Refusing ALL

In my book winning from a public health perspective would be lowering overall deaths and misery for the greatest number of people. It doesn’t seem that WHO has ever been closely scrutinized on their Covid scorecard. Cumulative births are down by the millions in county after country whereas cumulative excess deaths are up by the millions. It doesn’t seem like a way to build the next generation. Here’s some tables from the Philippines alone (hat tip to SuperSally88):

It's Time To Stop the WHO's Horrific Pandemic Treaty

So the WHO is trying for its pandemic treaty, despite everything they did during the last pandemic causing more widespread death and misery. I think most of my readers are well aware of the many ways that the Covid pandemic was built.

1. A supposedly novel pathogen to human populations was declared a public health emergency, halting travel, social mingling and small businesses.

2. PCR tests which were inaccurate became widely deployed to find cases.

3. Medical countermeasures which may have directly led to patient deaths were widely deployed, with the hospital then incentivized to blame the death on Covid. Some hospitals might have medically murdered patients to keep the death and fear numbers high.

4. There is a “cure” in the form of a “vaccine” with no alternative treatments allowed.

5. When the vaccine doesn’t work either extra doses are required or ineffective or unsafe drugs (or both) are required.

6. The entire cycle of gross human rights violations contributes to the widespread misery and death already being caused by the supposed pathogen, the vaccine and the drugs.

7. But hey we need more gross human rights violations, which conveniently also funnels resources to the few at the expense of the many, for next time!

Due to a recent personal experience of my husband being accused of maybe having asymptomatic tuberculosis, holding up his visa to come to America with me indefinitely, I’ve been doing some research into this disease. Yes, all vaccines were refused and thank God for that considering this mess. I’m grateful that Ka hasn’t been poisoned at least.

But reading through the treatment protocols ostensibly for TB I see the same playbook had been rolled out before. The idea that tuberculosis is this deadly disease which comes from people in third world countries breathing it all over us Americans doesn’t stand up to any close scrutiny, least of all with the Southern border so open. Even the most acute germaphobe has to see that by this point. I’m also fascinated that with the homeless issue so pronounced in so many major US cities, with people openly defecating on the sidewalks and with any and all health conditions imaginable, that some bug from overseas will invade our shores that isn’t already here.

So how do you tell if this mycobacterium tuberculosis is endemic, perhaps existing in everybody already but due to immune system issues becoming a dangerous overgrowth in some people? I looked at the testing. The skin prick test which is used in the US is not used in Thailand supposedly because prior BCG vaccination (given near birth in Thailand as hepatitis B is for US infants) causes a false positive! Every test I could find could give either false positives or false negatives for TB, like this one. None had a zero bar, just a low one:

Fifteen mm or more is positive in

• Persons with no known risk factors for TB. Reactions larger than 15 mm are unlikely to be due to previous BCG vaccination or exposure to environmental mycobacteria. (?????)

False-positive result

Some persons may react to the TST even though they are not infected with M. tuberculosis. The causes of these false-positive reactions may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Infection with non tuberculous mycobacteria

• Previous BCG vaccination

• Incorrect method of TST administration

• Incorrect interpretation of reaction

• Incorrect bottle of antigen used

Due to the test's low specificity, most positive reactions in low-risk individuals are false-positives.[8] A false-positive result may be caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria or previous administration of BCG vaccine. Prior vaccination with BCG may result in a false-positive result for many years later.[9]

False-negative result

A negative Mantoux result usually signifies that the individual has never been exposed to M. tuberculosis. However, there are factors that may cause a false-negative result or diminished ability to respond to tuberculin.[10,11]

• Cutaneous anergy (anergy is the inability to react to skin tests because of a weakened immune system)

• Recent TB infection (within 8-10 weeks of exposure)

• Very old TB infection (many years)

• Very young age (less than six months old)

• Recent live-virus vaccination (e.g., measles and smallpox)

• Overwhelming TB disease

• Some viral illnesses (e.g., measles and chicken pox)

• Incorrect method of TST administration

• Incorrect interpretation of reaction, insufficient dose and inadvertent subcutaneous injection.

So that is all as clear as mud. If you do test positive for tuberculosis, especially the latent type (aka asymptomatic) it only takes SIX MONTHS of medicine to “cure” you. Maybe. The actual cure rates ranged from 41%-67% over that time frame. If I’ve been taking drugs for six months to cure something I’d darned well better have the issue fixed.

So they had this idea to watch the person take the drugs in what’s known as Directly Observed Therapy. Despite this DOT did not significantly affect the adherence to the six months long protocol. I can think of several reasons why the adherence rate might be so low (below 50% for the six months course):

1. The treatment protocol might have significant side effects.

2. In countries where the cost is out of pocket to the patient, it may be prohibitively expensive for them to pay for it.

3. The benefits of the medicine might seem dubious, especially if the patient did not feel sick to begin with.

4. The treatment protocol might not cure the patient even if it is adhered to perfectly.

5. The six months treatment course is too long.

So what drug or drugs are given to treat your maybe tuberculosis? INH is used for latent TB, while a cocktail of others are used if you have symptoms. What are the side effects?

This article focuses on the acute and chronic isoniazid (isonicotinic acid hydrazide [INH] toxicity. Acute INH toxicity leads to central nervous system (CNS) toxicity, including seizures, whereas chronic INH toxicity results in hepatotoxicity.

Since 1952, INH has been used as a front-line antimicrobial for tuberculosis (TB). ^{[1, 2]} INH is commonly used for prophylaxis of patients with a recently converted Mantoux tuberculin skin test (TST) with purified protein derivative (PPD) or in conjunction with other medications for the treatment of active TB infection.

A typical regimen for tuberculosis includes INH, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol or streptomycin. Treatment lasts for 6 months for active TB, assuming responsiveness to antimicrobial therapy. Although the exact mechanism of activity is unknown, INH is believed to act by interfering with the mycobacterial cell wall synthesis.

Acute toxicity

Acute INH overdose predominantly involves the brain and may cause prolonged seizures, anion gap metabolic acidosis, and coma

Is isoniazid bad for the liver?

While most cases of INH hepatotoxicity are mild and resolve despite continued therapy with INH, a small number of patients taking INH develop severe hepatitis that may progress to fulminant liver failure and death if INH is not stopped promptly.

Lovely. And don’t we also have a bunch of vaccines for hepatitis stuff? So why would it be listed as a side effect from a drug which is used for a whooping six months course?

I’ve just started digging and it already looks terrible. Stop the WHO Pandemic treaty. If not we can expect more of the same everywhere. It seems more and more that their cure is actually the disease. I suppose that’s winning in their books…
