FAUCI WARNS THAT EARTH HAS ENTERED A “PANDEMIC ERA”

"THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES WHERE DISEASE EMERGENCES REFLECT OUR INCREASING INABILITY TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE."

BY DAN ROBITZSKI / SEPTEMBER 04 2020

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House’s top coronavirus advisor, warns that humanity is now living in a “pandemic era.”

At this point, nearly half a year after the COVID-19 pandemic brought the U.S. to its knees, that may sound obvious. But as The Washington Post reports, Fauci is talking about something greater than just the current pandemic. Rather, he believes that human activity has become a major contributor to the emergence of new deadly diseases.

“COVID-19, recognized in late 2019, is but the latest example of an unexpected, novel, and devastating pandemic disease,” Fauci, along with his colleague Dr. David Morens, wrote in research published last month in the prestigious journal CELL. “One can conclude from this recent experience that we have entered a pandemic era. The causes of this new and dangerous situation are multifaceted, complex, and deserving of serious examination.”

Throughout the paper, Fauci and Morens point out numerous dangerous disease outbreaks that began as a downstream effect of industrialization or other ways that human civilization impacted nature. For instance, there’s the Nipah virus outbreak from around the turn of the 21st century that began because humanity burned down forests to make room for agriculture, which displaced infected bats closer to populated areas.

“There are many examples where disease emergences reflect our increasing inability to live in harmony with nature,” Fauci and Morens write.

In order to reverse course, the duo warns that we need to rethink many aspects of our society, from deforestation to living in crowded cities to unsanitary animal farming.

“Living in greater harmony with nature will require changes in human behavior as well as other radical changes that may take decades to achieve: rebuilding the infrastructures of human existence, from cities to homes to workplaces, to water and sewer systems, to recreational and gatherings venues,” Fauci and Morens write.

He's trying to pass a law that will break the Withdrawal Agreement which basically breaks international law.

Not only have no other funerals of presidential family members been held at the White House, only THREE actual presidents have had their funeral held at the White House.

Previous White House funerals have been for Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, both of whom were assassinated while in office, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who also died in office.

It seems there was one previous exception. FDR gave a state funeral for his advisor Louis Howe in the East Room of the White House in 1936.

Howe was played by Hume Cronyn in 1960's Sunrise at Campobello.

You know how everyone stares at a huge car wreck? I feel like we’re the car wreck.

That he would honor his brother while ignoring the deaths of thousands of others? It's disgusting.

That he would honor his brother with a white house funeral? Is there a precedent for White House-set funerals for the death of family members?

[Big Magilla]

I am appalled. Is anyone else?

It's true.

The Geneva Convention declared tear gas to be a form of chemical warfare, and it is banned in such conflicts. However, it is not banned in civilian situations, either by individual use of pepper spray, nor by law enforcement use in the form of tear gas.

I wonder if it's because they were peaceful protesters, not the wannabe soldiers who stormed Michigan statehouse with guns because they couldn't get their heir done.

Someone posted something recently about the Geneva convention. The one thing on it that sound wrong was the use of tear gas. I didn't think tear gas was against the convention. Does anyone know?

It's up to 186 comments now. The tide seems to be turning.

"Since NJ.com stopped allowing comments, it looks like this is where the ignorant racists hang out. Sad."

"I guess this (disgusting counter protest video) is what some of you are into:

Most of the protestors I've seen ARE wearing masks to the protests, so clearly that last guy is getting his talking points from Fox News.
