In a flash of sudden inspiration, I wrote an article yesterday. It's not too long, so I figured I'd share it here first and let you guys comment, fact check, and maybe provide suggestions before I submit it. I wanted to keep it relatively short and not go too far into 'conspiratory' territory (say that 3 times), to make it easily understandable to the general public. I think every Sotter has a pretty good handle on what's going on, so I think there's more value in information that can be spread more widely without people being immediately triggered into spasms of needless stupidity. Pretty much every paragraph addresses one separate issue, so they could even be shared one at a time.

Nice article as usual MI! :thup:
Maybe just one little suggestion for change/improvement from my side would be to replace the the Google reference 'Ewwgle' with 'Gaagle', as it makes it easier to make the connection (remember that, at the very best, we are still dealing with half asleep folks here) and in this case the (intended) reference to 'gagging' adds an even nicer touch IMHO. ;-)
 
I feel that I’ve reached a line in the sand, masks are now required on the airlines I fly, United and Delta. I found them uncomfortable and hard to play along when I know that it is detrimental to wear masks. There was a boy aged seven, on one of my flights, that didn’t feel well and I has to tell his mother to take his mask off so he could breathe and not risk throwing up with the silly thing on. Where’s the common sense? Yes, the programming is working. It was stated two months ago that masks did not help but now there has been the addition of every “official” recommendation being enforced at work. I’ve chosen to take voluntary leave hoping that some sanity returns to our lives by retracting these draconian procedures, but I’m not holding my breath.

I'm pretty sure you all know this already, but just in case you want to inform others who might be receptive.

Masks trap CO2 that you normally breath out. This decreases your blood oxygen levels and increases your intake of CO2.

Increased CO2 in the blood decreases your PH, making your blood and entire body more acidic.

Viruses and bacteria which cause bronchitis and colds thrive in an acidic environment.

In addition, multiple studies have shown that masks do not protect you against infection.

In short, wearing a mask increases the chance that opportunistic viruses that you are exposed to every day will thrive in your body.

All information to confirm the above is widely available online.

Just wanted to add Joe’s quote since it explains my misgivings about current mask protocols.

I enjoyed it. Let the presses roll!
:sewing:

Objections? Maybe, just maybe this:
SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that's not much different from many other coronaviruses, which are quite common, or from seasonal flu.

Since the virus is an artificial concoction and therefore quite unique, it might be better to write that it is a virus whose lethality is not much different or something similar.
 
These started showing up in a few of my News feeds over the last few days.
Several Canadian provinces have planned demonstrations for tomorrow.
I met several of the organizers when we attended GNM lectures and Study seminars together in Vancouver. B.C.

I live in Kelowna, and I have to say that I'm very pleased to see that a 'demonstration' of this kind will take place tomorrow. I'm not really surprised though, because since this whole virus thing started, I have yet to have talked to someone who believes that this 'killer virus' is anything but another flu. That goes for friends, random people that I've done work for, and people that I associate with at job sites.

I visited Walmart just a few hours ago. I was expecting to wait in a long line up outside the store since most stores only allow a certain number of people in the store at one time, of course. But for some reason there was no line up, everyone was allowed in. The store was busy, lots of people shopping, big line ups at the cashiers. I noticed very little 'social distancing', no one seemed to pay attention to the 'one way' arrows on the floor, and I only saw ONE person wearing a mask.

I don't know what else to say, other than maybe I'm living in a slightly different parallel reality?:-D

Thanks for posting this Debra, because I didn't know this was taking place tomorrow.
 
Found this article from theinfectiousmyth - via Jon Rappapport;

Antibody-Testing for Covid

It’s basically a review of the published literature and of the validation studies for the different tests used in the diagnosis of Covid. It questions the usual narrative of the serologic progression of an infection that is first PCR getting positive, then antibodies IgM, followed by IgG, followed by disappearance of PCR positivity and IgM, and persistence of IgG as marker for a long-term immunity.

The summary is: The published evidence doesn’t support this paradigm at about every step!
 
So Trump is angling for vaccination even though he started his campaign against them.

Despite all the work that was currently being done on them by other parties, Trump signed a $900 million deal with Johnson & Johnson to produce a coronavirus vaccine.

Dr Dolores Cahill stated that safer vaccines can be made if mineral oil is used as the adjuvant - it's been known since the 60's that mineral oil will provoke an immune response - so the isolated virus protein, RNA or DNA could just be given in a base of mineral oil.

So I wonder if that's what Trump is aiming for in his deal with Johnson & Johnson, to produce a safer vaccine? He appointed RFK Jr as the vaccine safety chairman commission chairman and RFK Jr had stated that he wasn't against vaccines - that he was working for greater vaccine safety. A year or so later, RFK Jr complained that the commission hadn't progressed. There's the possibility that Trump and RFK Jr had collaborated enough by then to have some plans in mind.

Session 21st March, 2020

Q: (L) Okay, let me look at the questions...

This collective hysteria shows us that the point of contact with death transforms a bunch of people into little Nazis from the top of their watchtower ready to denounce their neighbour at the slightest deviation. So there's a double pressure. Fear of the virus, fear of others.

The question for the C's would be whether the promotion of the vaccination solution put forward is doomed to prevent certain signals from being able to activate certain genes? For this would risk broadening perceptions and thus raising awareness.

(L) And they were planning on doing exactly that, or something related, but we learn now that it backfired. So the question is: They are now working rapidly on a new vaccine that's supposed to counteract the screwup that they made. And they want to impose this new vaccine on everybody?

A: Yes

Q: (Artemis) Lemme guess: That one's gonna backfire too?

A: Likely. Hubris!

So in the general population and if Trump is aiming for a safer vaccine this is perhaps one of the ways that the plans of the PTB will fail. Also if in the situation where a vaccine is being forced and can't be avoided, perhaps there might be choice about which vaccine will be used and added to what we know about diet and detox we may be able to choose the safer vaccine option as well.

Q: [laughter] (L) However, the question has been asked: If people are forced to be vaccinated, and it seems that it's not a good idea - because obviously if they get a vaccine that the PTB really want to spread around, one they've tested and does what they want it to, we certainly don't want the vaccine they push on us - are there ways we can counteract this? There are going to be situations where people can't refuse a vaccine.

A: Yes. You have done the research!

Q: (L) So what research have we done about healing DNA? Um... Melatonin heals DNA.

(Niall) Dietary changes.

(L) Being in a proper dietary state if you have to get a vaccine is going to be beneficial and maybe it is for just this type of situation that we were so motivated to do health research and experiments for so long; it was preparation and we didn’t even know it.

(Artemis) Being in ketosis heals you.

(Gaby) Vitamin C.

(Niall) Detoxification.

(L) Detox would be NAC and other things...

(Andromeda) Infrared sauna.

(Chu) Constant knowledge input.

(L) Willpower even. And they just mentioned that there are certain people with spiritual force who were able to modify the virus by their own inner powers in a positive way. I would imagine that having inner force or inner spiritual power would all be beneficial. Are we on the right track?

A: Yes yes yes!
 
In addition to all of the above, there is yet another book that I highly recommend, by Dr. Suzanne Humphries, called "Dissolving Illusions":


That book as of this post has almost 940 reviews, almost all of them five-stars. Here is a link to Dr. Humphries' website, where she has posted several interesting articles and videos:


There is an entirely different world out there that has hardly been explored, with those who have done so having had their lives and careers ruined for exposing it, but which has consistently shown that much of what passes for supposed knowledge in the medical field these days is outright fraud.

Simply put: if you take good care of yourself, eat right and exercise, and take care of your mental acumen as well,

YOU CAN NOT GET SICK. PERIOD.
I went to her site, intrigued as I had seen her in the Truth about Vaccines series, and she talks about her latest book
"Rising From The Dead
Rising From The Dead began as a medical autobiography, but by the end, my spiritual journeys and conversion to true Christianity in direct relationship to God, was added. There were many conversations with Miriam that I could not include, but I’ve recently started a web page and video series with her that you can take part in. There are many Spirit-filled male preachers that I love to listen to, but there is a paucity of Spirit-filled women speaking publicly. We invite all people to come and listen and join the conversation HERE. "
She talks about her "Damascus"moment in her youtube videos and I found it heartening that a corona connection from @Ketone Cop would also be a connection to Christianity and spirituality and Paul via Suzanne Humphries.
 
Reporting from Pennsylvania, again; Governor Wolf is on everyone's s#/t list! Impeachment's in the air...A Reresentative from Butler County (where the govenor kept them in a red zone, while opening other Westrn. Counties to yellow zone.....revolted at county/judicial levels....6 counties followed suit. :-D) calling for impeachment:

"Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler) circulated a memorandum to House members, calling on them to hold Gov. Wolf "accountable for his actions that have harmed so many of our citizens and violate so many of our rights."

Rep. Metcalfe's full memorandum: :perfect:
Gov. Wolf’s orders in response to the COVID-19 outbreak have violated a number of our God-given rights affirmed in the United States Constitution. In particular, his order mandating the closure of physical locations of all businesses that he has deemed ‘non-life sustaining’ has violated our citizens’ rights in many devastating ways.
His order constitutes a taking of property from business owners without just compensation. The lack of due process and judicial review permitted under his order also violates the Constitution. In addition, this order coupled with the stay-at-home order, has violated our rights to free speech and assembly.
Another troubling aspect of his mandates is the utter lack of transparency demonstrated by the administration during this time, as agencies under his control have stopped responding to requests for records and his office has refused to provide vital information. The waiver process established under the Department of Community and Economic Development resulted in arbitrary and capricious decisions about which businesses may stay open. The public, press and General Assembly all have the right to know about these decisions and how they have been made. While the Wolf administration has finally slowly begun to release some of the relevant information regarding which businesses received waivers, they have yet to release any information about how or why these decisions were made. His delays and obfuscation have been, and continue to be, entirely unacceptable.
His failure to adequately administer our unemployment compensation system has made it so that countless Pennsylvanians who have recently become unemployed due to his orders have been unable to collect the benefits they require to meet their basic needs.
“His focus on restraining business is particularly disturbing, as the majority of deaths due to the pandemic have been residents of long-term care facilities. The governor should have focused his attention there, but he has entirely failed to implement a comprehensive state plan to protect our most vulnerable citizens who reside in nursing homes, which have had inadequate supplies of Personal Protective Equipment and testing kits throughout the outbreak.
As Gov. Wolf has violated so many of our fundamental rights as citizens of the Commonwealth, I will be introducing a resolution impeaching the governor and exhibiting Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. His actions plainly constitute the misbehavior in office required for his impeachment under the Pennsylvania Constitution.
While these are certainly challenging times, Gov. Wolf must be held accountable for his actions that have harmed so many of our citizens and violated so many of our rights. No individual or office is above the law.

SOURCE:
 
There are efforts being made to get the PA secretary of health, Levine to resign as well. Most of our deaths were in nursing homes and Levine followed through on sending positive Covid cases back to the homes but pulled her mother out of a home during the crisis. Our state rep has fire side chats every night on FB and checks Wolf's office door often. No one knows where the governor even is. He isn't in his office.

I'm so ready for both of these clowns to be shown the door. It's unbelievable to see these politicians talk in circles and dance around questions trying to hold this together. Our state officials for our county sent a letter to the governor and told him they're reopening the 15th against his orders but our Borough mayor told us to follow Wolf's orders or face repercussions. No one knows what is going on, it's such a mess.
 
I am not sure about that and am not as pessimistic and again, I think that building bridges is very important. There is a lot of people who are authoritarian followers, but even those people can change if things start to hurt badly and if they start to think that the consensus is something shifting from what they previously were told. In other words they don't think too much about things, but follow the stream. Pain and suffering can get them to realise that they have to 'jump' to another stream and they could be a powerful ally if they start following a truth minded movement. The C's said united in suffering and at that moment a lot could potentially 'see' the truth. Suffering can accelerate the learning of lessons. If so it will be a bad day to be a part of the elite. I might be allowing for too optimistic a future scenario, but I still think that it is a possibility not to be discounted.

Yes, I'm cautiously optimistic as well, but also know that things will take unexpected turns (as always). One thing that is on my mind lately is that as much as a part of me wants to see "heads rolling" for this, and once the cat is out the bag go around saying "I told you so, you idiots", this doesn't seem like a wise approach. Instead I will try to be there for people in humble ways, help them slowly make sense of it all, in their own way and at their own speed. Or just be there and listen, not blaming them or calling them names. I'm not going to be some kind of leader of the new movement or something, but try my best to be genuinely helpful on the spiritual plane. Should it come to that (that the truth will prevail and everyone is kind of forced to see it, which is a big IF of course), I think it's good to remember that our home is the Divine Cosmic Mind, and not the material world of self-rightousness, personal gain or societal status. It's a time to keep some of our drives and reactive emotions in check, OSIT.
 
The last few days have concerned me with what the health system will look like after COVID. In the past two years I have seen many offers and developments that I thought were not feasible. On the one hand, I could not or did not want to imagine that medicine could at some point be reduced to a kind of monitoring medium without human intervention. On the other hand, the offers were extremely overpriced. Last year I found a German manufacturer that was taking this direction as a research model. At first glance, I found it helpful. But now given the current aspect of digitalization that has been introduced and approved, is frightening. During a further search, I found that the entire medical is almost completely digitized and the possibilities have only waited for the start to be released. It will be a different world - and it will no longer need a doctor and therapist. I split the lineup into several articles ... it's a scary amount and maybe the information will help the individual to ask the question: Do we want this world?

VIVivatmo me = measurement of exhaled air
There is a proven relationship between the FeNo value, i.e. the NO concentration in the exhaled air, and the extent of the inflammation in the airways: the higher the NO content, the greater the inflammation. If you measure FeNO regularly, you can check the course of the airway inflammation.
But it is much more than just an innovative FeNO measuring device for home use. The concept behind it connects doctors and patients to a team on the path to optimal asthma therapy. The connecting element is the Vivatmo app. The app serves as a digital asthma diary. The FeNO measurement values recorded with the Vivatmo me can be easily transferred to the Vivatmo app via Bluetooth and saved. You can also use the app to document medication intake, peak flow values and personal well-being. A regional pollen forecast is also integrated.

SANASCOPE
Listening to the heart and lung sounds with a stethoscope is one of the standard examinations when visiting a doctor. The electronic stethoscope Sanascope wants to enable medical laypersons to get an idea of their health at home in order to
consider whether a visit to the doctor is necessary.
Operation is very easy. The associated app shows exactly where the stethoscope has to be positioned on the chest. With the help of artificial intelligence, the analysis app recognizes and classifies abnormal noises with the smartphone. If it detects a suspicious sound, it makes a recommendation as to how urgent a visit to the doctor is. So everyone can get an idea of their own health from the comfort of their own home.

ORPYX SI = intelligent shoe insert
Orpyx are shoe insoles with integrated sensors. They continuously measure the pressure on the sole of the foot, the temperature and the movement. A transmitter sends the information to a smartwatch. If the pressure is too high for a long time, the watch responds with an audiovisual alarm. At the same time, it motivates the wearer to specifically relieve the corresponding area on the foot.

VARA = approved tool for breast cancer prevention artificial intelligence

The start-up Merantix Healthcare has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) -based software that will enable radiologists in breast cancer screening to differentiate between 100 percent healthy tissue and tissue that is potentially cancerous. Put simply, Vara should digitally evaluate mammography images and sort out inconspicuous images. The developers have trained their program for this. On one of the world's largest breast cancer records with more than two million images. These were verified using tissue samples and annotations from medical experts.

IONIQ = intelligent spray system for sun protection
The IONIQ technology works like a magnet and is based on the attraction between skin and liquid. The patented Magnetic Skin Technology transforms the sunscreen into the finest droplets that are evenly distributed on the skin. When using IONIQ One, the droplets are automatically transported to the skin via field lines - and without the addition of propellant gases, as is common with many conventional sprays. The system is rounded off by an app that works as a personal skin care consultant.

Night Watch = surveillance for epilepsy
In the home environment, the system can therefore relieve parents of affected children in particular.
However, it can also help adults living alone with a seizure to live as independently as possible without being accompanied. There is a special (optional) GSM module that can be used to automatically call up to 5 phone numbers of selected people in the event of clinically urgent seizures. In addition, this module is equipped with an emergency button that the wearer can press himself for immediate help if necessary.

KATA = memory module
The app provides feedback on the patient's inhalation maneuver without the need for a medical expert to assist in this situation on site or via remote diagnosis. This works only with the patient's smartphone, without the need for additional devices. To do this, VisionHealth uses the latest technologies and has developed a special algorithm. In addition to AI artificial intelligence, augmented reality elements are also used.
Reminder function
Encouragement for adherence to therapy
Disease information
Information on weather and pollen count.

MoodGym = digital training
moodgym is one of the internet-based self-management programs. It is an interactive training program that offers additional help for self-help.
moodgym is suitable for people with mild depressive symptoms. But people who want to prevent depression can also benefit.
The program deals with topics such as the connection between thoughts and feelings, relationship problems, stress management and teaches relaxation techniques. There are also numerous exercises and self-tests for individual training.
The use of mobile devices and applications in combination with highly technical sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) as wearable is no longer limited to the sports and lifestyle sector, but is increasingly being extended to medical applications.

WearAbles - the health aids
The new technical possibilities make us our own "health manager". Especially in the case of serious illnesses, medical care and monitoring - even outside the doctor's office - can achieve a great deal and, for example, warn of life-threatening situations. Wearables such as the Apple Watch are no longer just fancy gadgets, but are becoming an important medical device thanks to innovative accessories. The KardiaBand from AliveCor is such a gadget and, in conjunction with the smart watch, becomes a mobile EKG earables = health aid

Instagram photos for early detection of depressive episodes
Researchers have now analyzed 43,950 photos on Instagram using an adaptable computer program:
Of 166 users of the social media platform, 70 percent received the correct diagnosis of depression based on their photos. The program analyzed the photos based on the color, metadata and facial recognition algorithms.
According to the study, depressed participants rarely used filters - and if they did, they used a filter that converted a colorful image into a black and white one. The healthy control group, on the other hand, favored filters that brighten up images.
The researchers hope that their findings will provide a new screening option for mental illnesses.

SelfApy = psychotherapy via KI
Around 20 million people in Germany suffer from a mental illness such as burnout, depression or anxiety. Often, those affected have to wait up to six months for treatment. To bridge this time, Selfapy was developed. With this self-help program, those affected receive immediate and anonymous help through online courses and weekly phone calls to psychologists.
Selfapy consists of 9 online modules that aim to identify negative thinking patterns and learn new behaviors.
Accompanying the online courses, psychologists are available in weekly conversations via chat or telephone.

The family doctor is often the first and often often the only person to whom people with depression turn. He therefore has a key role in identifying depression early on and treating it if necessary. However, according to studies, a general practitioner is correct in diagnosing depression in only about 42 percent of cases.
 
“To go” flu shot with the microneedle plaster
Although the STIKO recommends the annual flu vaccination for certain people, only a few use it. With the benefits of the microneedle patch, you might be able to get more vaccines for vaccination.
I do not know whether the fear of injections is actually a relevant reason that the annual flu shot is not taken by everyone to whom it is recommended. But maybe it is just annoying for many to go to the doctor extra for that. In addition, some doctors still have to collect the vaccine from the pharmacy.
Therefore, I find a vaccine patch that you can apply yourself - provided the appropriate indication - a clever idea. Another advantage is that the plaster does not have to be stored continuously refrigerated. And that the vaccination due to the microneedles should also be almost painless compared to conventional vaccination is a "nice additional benefit".

Preventicus Heardbeats = early detection Apoplex
Atrial fibrillation causes approximately 30,000 strokes each year. The German Heart Foundation therefore advises regular heart rate measurements in order to detect abnormal heartbeats such as atrial fibrillation at an early stage and have them clarified by a doctor.
The lifetime risk for atrial fibrillation is 25 percent. However, it is often not noticeable, often occurs only sporadically, and is therefore difficult to diagnose by a doctor alone. With the classic long-term ECG, only about 20 percent of all patients with sporadic atrial fibrillation are recognized.
Screening for atrial fibrillation through regular self-measurements of the heart rhythm by means of an ECG is a preventive measure for stroke prevention recommended by well-known international experts.
The Preventicus Heartbeats app, a clinically validated medical device that was developed in close collaboration with cardiologists, now enables regular recording of your own heart rhythm. The app helps to detect undetected cardiac arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation, and thus prevent strokes.
With the Preventicus Heartbeats App you can record and document your heart rhythm with your smartphone without any additional accessories and in just a few minutes.

iT-Bra = the intelligent bra for breast cancer prevention
With iTBra, Circadia Health has launched a product that I believe has the potential to support women in their monthly self-examinations. iTBra consists of two patches equipped with sensors, which are inserted into the bra cups. Are measured u. a. the temperature in the breast tissue as well as weight changes. This data is collected and transmitted anonymously to Circadia Health via smartphone. As soon as enough data is available, it is analyzed by a learning software. In the course of time, it is regularly recorded whether there are changes in the breast tissue. If desired, the results can be forwarded directly to the doctor.

Blood test for your pocket = Interesting ... with antigen-antibody reaction:scared:
Blood collection, sample preparation and test strips are integrated in one device. Clicking the button first activates the micro lancet. This punctures the skin in order to collect so few drops of blood that the miniature laboratory then takes up. The blood sample is immediately prepared in the miniature laboratory and applied to a test strip. The result can then be read out using a smartphone app and used by medical specialists for diagnosis.
The process is based on lateral flow technology, also known as lateral flow assay (LFA). Lateral flow tests combine an antibody-based test system on a single test strip. They make it possible to detect various analytes within just a few minutes (antigen-antibody reaction). In addition to the quick results and easy handling, the advantages are the low costs and the high validity.HealthcareHeidi_midge medical_Bluttest
The miniature laboratory from midge medical is currently used for CRP determination. The CRP value distinguishes bacterial from viral infections. The result can support the doctor in deciding for or against giving antibiotics - without wasting time.
In the future, the miniature laboratory will also be used for testing pulmonary embolism, thrombosis, heart attack or infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV and Ebola.
Compared to conventional blood tests, the mini all-in-one system can be used flexibly. At the patient's home, in the doctor's office, in the pharmacy. It is easy to use and does practically everything on its own. As a sterile, disposable product, it can be used without additional readers and quickly delivers the digital result using the app. The mobile solution thus saves valuable time, therapy can begin immediately or unnecessary use of antibiotics can be prevented.
The examination of suspected diagnoses and common blood parameters for patients is also attractive. And it may save you having to travel far to the next doctor if the distance between doctor and patient can be bridged using telecommunications.
With regard to infectious diseases, especially in developing countries, access to life-saving diagnoses - and thus secure therapy - can be made possible. Similar to the portable ultrasound scanner, which in connection with a smartphone brings medical imaging to developing countries.
 
Phrend = AI software. Soon the doctor's best friend
The personalized health solution PHREND is based on a “human-centered design” approach. The tool uses an AI-controlled prognosis algorithm that determines individualized prognoses for the treatment within seconds and taking into account the ten most important patient characteristics that are clinically relevant for MS. Thanks to intensive user tests, the application is easy to use and easy to understand for both patients and doctors.
How does PHREND work?
The first neurological disorder for which doctors can use PHREND is multiple sclerosis (MS). If a patient comes to the neurologist, the neurologist records the diagnosis and medication anyway. If the doctor belongs to the German medical network NTD, he can enter all information into the application and train it with it. Answers to therapy-relevant questions such as "When was the last episode of illness?", "Does the patient have a syringe phobia?" Or "Does the patient want to have children?" Based on thousands of anonymized patient data, the AI-based software then suggests a treatment option that best fits the specific situation of the patient. Therapy sovereignty always remains with the attending doctor. However, PHREND serves as an objective, data-based decision-making aid in order to determine the most promising therapy.

Vivy - the digital health assistant
Who does not know it? You go to the doctor and important documents are missing, e.g. by a specialist. Or the specialist prescribes a drug that is not compatible with the medication of the family doctor. Thanks to a digital health assistant, around 13.5 million insured people should now have an end to this and similar problems.

The Vivy app has been available since September 17. available free of charge to insured persons at DAK-Gesundheit and Allianz. It is not just the first cross-checkout electronic health record (eGA). Rather, it is seen by your creators as a "personal health assistant". With a team of health, data security, design and usability experts, Christian Rebernik (CEO) and Rowanto Rowanto (CTO) developed the app of the same name with Vivy GmbH. This digital, cross-checkout project could become a pioneer in the healthcare sector in Germany. But what are the advantages of the app for doctors and patients? And what about the protection of extremely sensitive data?
Emergency data such as age, weight, blood type or allergies can be recorded in the app. Emergency personnel can immediately read the data using a QR code.

And what about the protection of extremely sensitive data?
Emergency data such as age, weight, blood type or allergies can be recorded in the app. Emergency personnel can immediately read the data using a QR code.

What about data security:

The following applies to Vivy: The user alone has access to his data, unless he shares it. He can forward the data to his doctor, health insurance or family at any time. Since Vivy's user account is linked to the user's phone number and password, strangers have no access to the sensitive data should the smartphone fall into the wrong hands. In addition, the data is not stored locally, i.e. on the smartphone, but is stored on ISO-certified servers in Germany. From the official side, Vivy is also considered an extremely safe app. It is CE certified and has been recognized by TÜV Rheinland as a "safe mobile application".
Vivy - The digital health assistant
The competition doesn't sleep. Other health insurance companies already offer apps for various areas. The 10.2 million policyholders of Techniker Krankenkasse, for example, can use the TK app, which mainly hides information and services relating to the health insurance company and its services. The Barmer, on the other hand, offers several apps with different functions such as services, hearing tests or the "doctor's navigation system". However, each function can only be used in the associated app. This makes dealing with the services more complex and complicated than with the personal health assistant.

Caution: confusion:

Even if they have similar names, a clear distinction must be made between the electronic health record (eGA) and the electronic patient record (ePA) planned by law.

In the future, it should be possible to set up the ePA on the electronic health card (eGK). In the future, important medical data will be stored there. As with the eGA, the patient should also be able to determine which data is stored and which is not. The responsible gematik (Gesellschaft für Telematikanlösungen der Gesundheitskarte mbH) is currently faced with the question of when and by whom which data can be read under which conditions.

The eGA is a third-party application whose use by insured persons can be financially supported by the health insurance companies. A prerequisite for this is, among other things, that the eGA collects, processes and uses medical data such as findings, diagnoses, therapies and much more. for cross-case and cross-facility documentation about the patient.

Vivy is a practical application for insured persons to bundle all health data and to have them at hand at all times. Anyone who knows how to properly deal with the numerous features has a versatile "digital health assistant" in their pockets. The emergency passport can also be helpful for saving lives in exceptional situations, provided the rescuers know what the corresponding QR code is. Not only rescue workers, but also doctors and other medical professionals must first deal with the operation and handling of Vivy before it can be used as intended.

In contrast to the ePA, Vivy has the advantage of being interactive. The patient can save, retrieve and send a variety of material in the app. In contrast, only selected data can be saved and read out by specialist personnel in the ePA. It is a pure data storage with no further functions for interaction. Compared to other health apps, Vivy also impresses with the versatility of the application options.

For a sensible and safe use of the app, a detailed examination of the functions and security features of Vivy is mandatory. If insured (and medical professionals) have intensively examined the possibilities and risks of use, a good 13.5 million insured can use the practical digital health assistant. Nevertheless, every user should be clear about which sensitive data they want to enter into the app and possibly also want to share.
 
Germany has just passed a law basically putting serious pressure on citizens to get vaccinated "on a voluntary basis". The law gives the employer the right to look up the vaccination status of the employee and other personal data. With this law, they practically opened the door for employers to reject people and maybe even fire them if they are not vaccinated. Which I'm sure many if not all obedient companies will adopt out of "safety" for their employees and companies. That vaccine will become very "voluntary" indeed! Assuming they get away with it. It is actually a better strategy for nefarious PTB agendas to vaccinate large portions of the population, not by compulsion, but by making it voluntary and putting huge social, financial and economic pressure on people who are not willing to do it.
