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.” 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/ Major “IT outages” are being reported across the world, affecting banking systems, emergency services and airlines’ communications. The FAA website currently shows seven airports closed, including LaGuardia International in New York City, Logan International in Boston, and Harry Reid in Las Vegas. The groundings and closures are expected to last until at least 5am EST and are “Due to Airline Request.” Microsoft systems are reportedly getting the “Blue Screen of Death” and seem to have occurred after a “faulty update” from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which is widely used on Microsoft system according to The Verge. According to the Alaska State Troopers Facebook page, Alaska is experiencing a “technology-related outage” across the state. AZ Central is reporting 911 and other emergency systems are being impacted by the outage as well. Palm Beach County 911 systems are experiencing outages due to a “technical issue.” Hospital systems across the globe are affected by this outage and reports are flooding in on social media platforms of entire hospital networks losing their communications. This story is developing… I forgot to put the link. It is: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/widespread-it-outages-reported-across-globe-major-us/ DEI is falling out of style. In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in police custody, many companies made highly publicized vows about “diversity, equity and inclusion” initiatives filled with all the typical left-wing rhetoric about race, having “conversations” and “doing better.” Doing better how exactly? Focusing on your customer base and delivering quality service? Four years later, many businesses have realized that focusing on skin color or sex is not the greatest idea. For example, Microsoft just laid off its entire internal DEI team, according to a Business Insider report on Monday. Bloomberg reported that Zoom laid off its DEI staff in February. Meanwhile, Google and Meta made DEI cuts last year, according to CNBC. It’s almost as if instituting identity-based hiring practices and promoting division in the workplace aren’t so great for business, no? https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/microsoft-reportedly-lays-dei-team-brutal-message/ I sure would hate to have to run or manage a business under DEI restrictions.
