EMF radiation causes cellular dysfunction/inflammation, initially triggering &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;flu-like&amp;quot; symptoms, continued exposure exacerbating the condition. &amp;nbsp;EMF potentiates environmental toxins/heavy metals, and stimulates/aggravates biological microbes - bacteria, mycoplasmas, fungi, parasites - to increase toxin output. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cells under stress/toxicity secrete nanoparticle - extracellular vesicles EV&amp;#39;s/ ectosomes/exosomes as an epigenetic modifier/adaptive response to mitigate the toxicity. These particles are being &amp;nbsp;associated/&amp;quot;identified as the alleged &amp;quot;virus&amp;quot; purportedly causing the inflammation. Everyone exposed to toxic levels of EMF will &amp;quot;test positive&amp;quot; for the alleged &amp;quot;virus&amp;quot;. Masks/social distancing will not preclude EMF exposure/toxicity. Vaccines for non-existent &amp;quot;virus&amp;quot;, will only introduce more toxins, inflammatory response, disease. The fast-track &amp;quot;race to 5g&amp;quot; - without the independent safety testing that would disclose the detrimental impact to all biological life - is necessary to allow them to construct the total surveillance/AI-analysis/control grid needed for the Orwellian/dystopian/NWO.&lt;/p&gt;

If they really did they would have been used for every other virus that has hit the world. It7 really about the ability of the government &amp;nbsp;to make mandates and see how well they are followed. So far the people have been pretty easy to manipulate. This will make it easier if the left gets control of our nation come November to remove many more freedoms. Just keep this in mind when it&amp;#39;s &amp;nbsp;time to vote.&lt;/p&gt;

Every action taken by our erstwhile leaders, particularly the group thinking Dems, have been contrary to recommendations based on scientific studies. It&amp;#39;s all about maintaining the narrative of fear until they can start vaccinating. All these detrimental to health recommendations make the populace sicker, allowing the sociopaths to keep claiming how dangerous the &amp;quot;virus&amp;quot; is, so they can keep adding on more draconian measures to keep people sick and afraid. This is a never ending cycle and people just keep falling for it. Unfortunately for these sociopaths the death rate is declining in spite of their attempts to keep the rate high.&lt;/p&gt;

Here&amp;#39;s why COVID cases soared in California. Protests. All the people protesting, no masks, arm in arm, walking the streets. I know of a southern Calif business, has 32 employees, 8 of them tested positive for COVID within days of each other. All 8 were at the protests. But no one wants to say anything negative about the protests so it gets no media attention.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All COVID-19 statistics are meaningless because the PCR tests are notoriously unreliable. The FDA has never cleared nor approved any COVID-19 tests. This article explains why the tests and the official COVID-19 statistics are not trustworthy: &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="https://off-guardian.org/2020/08/18/bait-switch-how-theyve-changed-the-covid-conversation/"&gt;off-guardian.org/.../bait-switch-how-theyve-changed-the-covid-conversation&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;. The article, from off-Guardian, also explains that The Guardian receives funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;In most instances it enters the brain by way of the olfactory nerves (smell nerves), which connect directly with the area of the brain dealing with recent memory and memory consolidation. By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
