"The Perfect Storm - COVID-19, Seasonal Flu, Vaccines, the U.S. Elections, and Climate Change"


 

Hello John and Doves,
 
Many of us are feeling like we are holding our breath - what else could possibly happen in 2020?
 
We have what could be a 'perfect storm' forming in our near future:  the 'second' wave of COVID-19, the U.S. presidential elections and resulting 'fall out', the coming COVID-19 vaccine, and the seasonal flu season and its vaccine!
 
Here is a bit of info on flu vaccines and the one for 2020 in the U.S.:
 
"The seasonal influenza (flu) vaccine is designed to protect against the three or four influenza viruses research indicates are most likely to spread and cause illness among people during the upcoming flu season.  Flu viruses are constantly changing, so the vaccine composition is reviewed each year and updated as needed based on which influenza viruses are making people sick, the extent to which those viruses are spreading, and how well the previous season's vaccine protects against those viruses."

"More than 100 national influenza centers in over 100 countries conduct year-round surveillance for influenza.  This involves receiving and testing thousands of influenza virus samples from patients. The laboratories send representative viruses to five World Health Organization Collaborating Centers for Reference and Research on Influenza."  These are the CDC, Beijing's National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention, Tokyo's National Institute for Infectious Diseases, Melbourne's Victoria Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory, and London's The Francis Crick Institute.  Twice a year meetings are held to review results.  Once in February for the Northern Hemisphere's vaccine.  And once in September for the Southern Hemisphere's vaccine.  And it's WHO that makes the recommendation for the specific viruses to be included in that seasons influenza vaccine.  Then each country decides which viruses they want in their vaccine. In the U.S., the FDA decides on which viruses will be included in the U.S. vaccines."  https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/vaccine-selection.htm
Selecting Viruses for the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine | CDC
 
On March 4, 2020 the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee met and selected the following viruses for their quadrivalent vaccines:
 
For an egg-based influenza vaccine:
 
an A/Guangdong-Maonan/SWL1536/2019 (H1N1) pdm09-like virus  (a novel H1N1 influenza virus emerged in Spring 2009 in the U.S. - they named it (H1N1)pdm09 virus - swine flu; this produced 2 waves in the U.S. with approximately 15,000 deaths, some 300,000 hospitalizations and approximately 61 million cases - with 80% of the deaths in people less than 65 years of age; it spread around the world - so this type of virus is still being vaccinated against in the U.S.)
 
an A/HongKong/2671/2019 (H3N2)-like virus (in 1968 an avian influenza A virus (H3N2) spread around the world; 1 million deaths worldwide, 100,000 deaths in the U.S. - causing severe illness in older people; this type of virus continues to circulate worldwide as a seasonal influenza)
 
a B/Washington/02/2019-like virus (B/Victoria lineage)
 
a B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus (B/Yamagata lineage)
 
 
For a cell or recombinant based influenza vaccine:
 
an A/Hawaii/70/2019 (H1N1) pdmo9-like virus
 
an A/HongKong/45/2019 (H3N2)-like virus
 
a B/Washington/02/2019-like virus (B/Victoria lineage)
 
a B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus (B/Yamagata lineage)

Note both contain an H1N1 (think swine flu) and H3N2 (think bird flu) virus.
 
 
Some are calling just the COVID-19 and seasonal flu the 'perfect storm'.  Adding to the push for a COVID-19 vaccine to be released as soon as possible.
 
The COVID-19 virus is a coronavirus - part of a large family of viruses common in people and some animals, like bats, dogs, cats, cattle...  It is rare for an animal coronavirus to infect people - this happened with MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV...and now with COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2.  The exact source of the COVID-19 virus is still 'unknown'.
 
After reading about "immune enhancement/antibody enhancement" and seeing studies from our Department of Defense, Europe, etc., there might be a problem with getting the seasonal flu vaccine and a COVID-19 infection.  http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/sep2020/chance927-2.htm

"In September 2019, Italy rolled out an entirely new type of influenza vaccine.  This vaccine called VIQCC is different than others.  Most available influenza vaccines are produced in embryonated chicken eggs. VIQCC, however, is produced from cultured animal cells rather than eggs and has more of a "boost" to the immune system as a result.  VIQCC also contains four types of viruses - 2 type A viruses (H1N1 AND H3N2) and 2 type B viruses.  It looks like this 'super' vaccine impacted the immune system in such a way to increase coronvirus infection through virus interference that set the stage for what happened in Italy."  (immune enhancement)  https://doctormurray.com/does-the-flu-shot-increase-covid-19-risk/

And for problems with coronavirus vaccines themselves - there is 'vaccine enhancement':
 
"Studies have suggested that coronavirus vaccines carry the risk of what is known as vaccine enhancement, where instead of protecting against infection, the vaccine can actually make the disease worse when a vaccinated person is infected with the virus.  The mechanism that causes that risk is not fully understood and is one of the stumbling blocks that has prevent the successful development of a coronavirus vaccine."  (There has never been a successful coronavirus vaccine for humans.)  https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-vaccines-insight-idUSKBN20Y1GZ

I hope there is nothing else that slams us before we get to December 31, 2020!
 
But wait - there is "climate change": with the raging fires, a trail of hurricanes, earthquake swarms....

"The global impact of COVID-19 is already combining with climate change to affect millions of the most vulnerable people in the world, including complicating evacuation efforts after natural disasters.  These negative impacts continue to reinforce each other around the world, creating new drivers of violent conflict in fragile settings, a perfect storm of risk.  Governments need to deliver a unified response based on an understanding of hos the impacts of climate and COVID-19 are combining to create heightened risks of conflict." https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/519819-covid-19-and-climate-change-are-a-perfect-storm-for-violent

Seems we just keep coming back to the "Great Reset" and the 'globalists' agenda for the world'.  We must be very close to the start of the Tribulation!
 
"How do these leaders plan to convince hundreds of millions of people around the world to abandon the current capitalist system?  First, by pressuring leaders and governments into using the COVID-19 pandemic as an "opportunity" to enact radical reforms that otherwise might not be possible."..."The second step is to shift the world's focus to the next great left-wing "crisis":  the alleged "existential threat" of climate change."  https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/gore-kerry-radical-great-reset-capitalism-justin-haskins

So the coming 'perfect storm' is multi-layered, multi-faceted, with multiple variables.  Just don't ask 'what else could possibly happen?'.  We still haven't had the asteroid/meteor hits, the New Madrid/San Andreas GREAT earthquakes, or the alien invasion.  But it's only October....
 
As I see it, this would be a good time for the Rapture!  Right before everything hits....
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
