Just prior to the turn of the century, sporadic attempts were made to improve sanitation. Cities began to pave roads, institute garbage collection, and construct garbage dumps. The early water treatment plants had systems that were inadequately designed and often became clogged with human excrement and animal debris from the street. It’s difficult to imagine the state of filth that Americans had become accustomed to living in the early 1900s. The 1912 annual report from the New York City Health Department included, “… the removal of 20,000 dead horses, mules, donkeys and cattle from the streets in addition to nearly half a million smaller animals such as pigs, hogs, calves, and sheep, which amounted to disposal of more than 5 million pounds of spoiled poultry, fish, pork and beef which eventually ended up in the municipal water supplies.” In 1872, the introduction of water filtration in the US was a significant step towards improving public health. Initially aimed at addressing discolouration and removing bad taste and foul odour, filtration soon proved to be a game-changer. It not only eliminated turbidity, foul colour and nearly 99% of the swarming bacteria but also set a new standard for the “quality” of treated water. However, when outbreaks continued to occur, chemists experimented with several disinfecting methods, including boiling, ultraviolet rays, ozone, copper, silver and chlorine. However, cost considerations and ease of use produced a clear winner: chlorine. By 1868, more than 95% of Chicago’s inhabitants had been inoculated with the smallpox vaccine. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, vaccination was required to receive relief supplies. Despite a near-100% vaccination rate, the city was hit with a devastating smallpox epidemic in 1872. More than 2,000 persons contracted smallpox and more than 25% of those infected died. The fatality among children under five was the highest ever recorded. Vaccinating the entire city did not create herd immunity, and it did not protect the population from contracting smallpox. Despite these – and many other failures – vaccination is continually promoted as one of the “greatest medical achievements of modern civilisation.” The real heroes, the technology that changed the course of history and public health, are rarely mentioned: clean water, sewage treatment for municipalities and electricity to support refrigeration. Rotary International, the WHO, UNICEF, GAVI, WEF, and the Gates Foundation have poured tens of billions of dollars into vaccinating malnourished children who lack sanitation, water, refrigeration and education. Instead of pushing money into polio, measles and rotavirus vaccines, think of the global problems that would have been solved if those same dollars had been allocated to the most important health intervention in the world’s history: clean water. https://expose-news.com/2024/07/14/clean-water-saved-the-world-not-vaccination/ Legendary fitness guru and beloved icon of the 1980s Richard Simmons died Saturday, just one day after turning 76. According to ABC News, few details were immediately available about Simmons’ death, but the “Los Angeles Police Department responded to his home after a 911 call from his housekeeper and found Simmons dead, police sources told ABC News. He appears to have died of natural causes, and no foul play is suspected, the sources said.” Urban metal theft has risen to new levels following the pandemic, with thousands of feet of wiring from streetlights, hundreds of fire hydrants, and even mausoleum nameplates being stolen to flip for small amounts of money all over the country. The “brazen” crime of opportunity is posing significant safety hazards to the residents of cities where public lights frequently go dark after being stripped of their copper, the New York Times detailed in an article Tuesday. In St. Paul, Minnesota, a man was “recently hit by a car and killed while crossing a street near his home where streetlights had gone out,” the report stated. Copper from one light pole is sold for only about $30, according to the Minneapolis-based Star Tribune. Also cited by the New York Times was the theft of more than 970,000 feet — or 184 miles — of electrical wiring from Las Vegas, Nevada, area streetlights in just the last two years. Approximately 500 to 600 cases of copper wire theft were reported annually in the city just five years ago, the outlet stated. According to LA Councilman Kevin de León (D), there have been a whopping 6,713 cases in just the last year — with repair costs amounting to over $17 million. “We have to understand this is not merely about stealing copper wire, because it goes beyond that,” De León said. “Thieves are literally picking our city apart for parts to sell for scraps.” More safety hazards have been created by the mass theft of fire hydrants as well, with more than 290 going missing across Los Angeles County since January. Kate Nutting, a general manager at the Golden State Water Company, which owns the hydrants, said the devices are largely made of iron and cost $4,000 to replace. As many as 10 hydrants have been stolen at one time in some neighborhoods, she told the New York Times. Although they are costly to replace, thieves do not sell the stolen hydrants for a lot of money, similar to the copper wiring. “Why are you taking them? And then come to find out they’re only getting about $100 off of them. So OK, you’re making quick money but you’re putting so many people in danger...." In other areas of California, thieves have even targeted a historically black cemetery to steal metal placards, Los Angeles Magazine reported. “It’s like opening a new wound,” said Woods. “It’s disrespectful to sacred grounds.” The criminal charges should be for the evil “merchandise” they sell, but this will have to do. Meanwhile in the Democrat hellhole of California… The Sacramento City Attorney’s office threatened Target with public nuisance criminal charges and fines if they continued to call the police for theft incidents, The Sacramento Bee reported. The Sac Bee reported that the City Attorney threatened the Target retail store at 2505 Riverside Blvd. in Land Park this year. The City of Sacramento, California’s legal department threatened to fine a popular retail store for public nuisance over numerous calls to police after thieves stole from its Land Park location multiple times, according to a report. The Sacramento Bee reported that a person with knowledge of the warning, who wanted to remain anonymous out of fear they could be retaliated against, said Sacramento officials warned they would issue an administrative fine to the Target at 2505 Riverside Blvd. in Land Park, during the past year.
