Fauci lied. People died.

This is, perhaps, the largest scandal in American history. Freedoms curtailed. Careers ruined. Families destroyed.

We need severe and widespread accountability.

To Understand What Life Is, You Have to Visit Three Locations:

1. The hospital

2. The prison

3. The cemetery

At the Hospital:
You will understand that nothing is more beautiful than health.

In Prison:
You'll see that freedom is the most precious thing.

At the Cemetery:
You will realize that life is worth nothing. The ground we walk on today will be our roof tomorrow.

Even after Covid the sheep still believe the official narrative.............amazing & they don't want to read they just want to argue their TV land version of events

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

On the night the Titanic sank, a 21-year-old college student watched his father die.

Hours later, doctors told him both of his legs would have to be amputated.

Instead, he got up and started walking.

His name was Richard Norris Williams.

And surviving the Titanic was only the beginning of his story.

In April 1912, Richard and his father, Charles Duane Williams, boarded the Titanic as first-class passengers in Cherbourg, France.

They were traveling to America so Richard could continue his studies at Harvard.

When the ship struck the iceberg on April 14, father and son made their way to the deck together.

Then disaster struck again.

As the Titanic sank, one of its massive funnels collapsed.

The falling structure hit Charles Williams and killed him instantly.

Richard was standing beside him.

He narrowly escaped the same fate.

Moments later, he was in the freezing North Atlantic.

The water temperature was around 28°F (-2°C).

Most people survived only minutes.

Richard spent roughly six hours in the water or clinging to one of the partially submerged collapsible lifeboats before rescue arrived.

When the RMS Carpathia finally picked up survivors at dawn, his condition was severe.

His legs were frozen from the knees down.

The ship's doctor examined him and delivered a grim verdict:

Both legs would need to be amputated.

In 1912, severe frostbite often meant gangrene, infection, and death.

Amputation was considered the safest option.

Richard refused.

He reportedly told doctors that he was going to need his legs.

Then he got out of bed.

Against medical advice, he began walking the deck of the Carpathia every two hours.

Day and night.

Step after painful step.

For four days.

By the time the ship reached New York, his condition had improved enough that amputation was no longer necessary.

He walked off the ship on his own.

Most people would consider that the defining story of a lifetime.

For Richard Williams, it wasn't.

A few months later, he enrolled at Harvard.

Then he returned to tennis.

In 1914, he won the U.S. National Championship, the tournament that would later become the U.S. Open.

In 1916, he won it again.

Over the following years, he became one of the best tennis players in the world, winning multiple major doubles titles and representing the United States internationally.

Then came World War I.

Williams served in the U.S. Army and distinguished himself in combat.

France awarded him both the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor for his service.

After the war, he returned to tennis once again.

At the 1924 Paris Olympics, he badly sprained his ankle during the mixed doubles tournament and considered withdrawing.

His partner, Hazel Wightman, refused to let him quit.

Williams played much of the tournament barely able to move.

Together, they won Olympic gold.

Over the years, he became a Davis Cup captain, a respected figure in American tennis, and eventually a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Yet people who knew him rarely heard him talk about any of it.

Not the Titanic.

Not the championships.

Not the war.

Not the medals.

Not the Olympic gold.

In fact, he disliked attention so much that later in life he had approximately 160 tennis trophies melted down into a single silver serving tray.

He used it to serve drinks to guests in his Pennsylvania home.

Most visitors had no idea what it was.

Or what it represented.

A Titanic survivor.

A two-time national champion.

A decorated war veteran.

An Olympic gold medalist.

A Hall of Famer.

All hidden inside an ordinary tray sitting quietly on a side table.

Richard Norris Williams died in 1968 at the age of 77.

If you had met him, he probably wouldn't have told you any of this.

And that may be the most remarkable thing about him.

I'm a cardiologist. Your dentist may be protecting your heart — and most doctors still aren't connecting these dots.
The American Heart Association just updated its scientific statement on periodontal disease and cardiovascular risk for the first time in 13 years. Their conclusion: the association between gum disease and heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation is stronger than previously recognized.
42% of American adults over 30 have periodontitis right now. Most have no idea it's affecting anything beyond their mouth.
Let me explain what's actually happening inside your body when your gums bleed.
Your mouth contains over 700 species of bacteria. When gums become infected and inflamed — the chronic condition we call periodontitis — the tissue barrier between your mouth and your bloodstream breaks down. Bacteria pour through. Not occasionally. Continuously. Every time you chew, every time you brush inflamed gums, bacteria enter systemic circulation.
One organism in particular should concern you: Porphyromonas gingivalis. I've written about it before in the context of Alzheimer's disease — it crosses the blood-brain barrier and has been found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients at autopsy. But it doesn't stop at the brain.
P. gingivalis has been found inside atherosclerotic plaques — the exact lesions I treat in the cath lab. It has been recovered from the arterial walls of heart attack and stroke patients. It is not a bystander. It is an active participant in the disease that kills more people than any other cause on earth.
Here's the cascade.
Bacteria from infected gums enter the bloodstream and trigger chronic systemic inflammation — elevated hsCRP, elevated IL-6, activated immune cells circulating throughout your vascular system. This inflammation damages the endothelium — the delicate inner lining of your arteries — promoting plaque formation, increasing oxidative stress, and shifting your blood toward a pro-clotting state.
The same inflammatory highway I've been writing about for months — connecting the gut to the brain to the heart — runs directly through your mouth. Your gums are the gateway. And for 42% of American adults, that gateway is wide open.
The AHA's updated statement highlights findings that should stop you:
The association between periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is independent of shared risk factors like smoking, diabetes, and obesity in multiple studies. This isn't just "people with bad habits have both problems." The gum disease itself appears to contribute independently.
Brushing frequency alone shows a striking relationship with cardiac risk. Data from the NHANES registry found that brushing three or more times per day was associated with a 10-year ASCVD risk of 7.35% — compared to 13.7% for brushing once daily or less. Nearly half the cardiovascular risk — associated with how often you brush your teeth.
Treating periodontitis improves systemic inflammatory markers — hsCRP, the same marker I tell every patient to test — and improves intermediate cardiovascular measures including blood pressure and HDL cholesterol.
The more severe the gum disease, the stronger the observed cardiovascular risk.
I want to connect this to the bigger picture I've been building on this platform — because the convergence is now impossible to ignore.
P. gingivalis in the brain — linked to Alzheimer's through gingipain-mediated destruction of tau proteins and preferential attack on ApoE4 carriers.
P. gingivalis in atherosclerotic plaques — linked to heart attack and stroke through chronic inflammation, endothelial damage, and plaque destabilization.
Gut dysbiosis sending misfolded proteins up the vagus nerve — linked to Parkinson's through the same inflammatory pathways.
Insulin resistance starving both the heart and the brain simultaneously.
Chronic inflammation as the common thread — measured by hsCRP, driven by metabolic dysfunction, oral infection, gut permeability, and visceral fat.
Your mouth, your gut, your heart, and your brain are not separate systems treated by separate doctors in separate buildings. They share the same inflammatory highway. And the American Heart Association just confirmed that the mouth is one of the most important on-ramps.
What you can do — starting today:
Floss daily. Not optional. Not cosmetic. This disrupts the anaerobic biofilm where P. gingivalis thrives. If you do nothing else from this post, do this.
Brush at least twice daily — three times if you can. The cardiovascular data on brushing frequency alone is striking.
See your dentist every 3-6 months. Do not skip cleanings. Do not ignore bleeding gums — bleeding means the barrier is broken and bacteria are entering your blood.
Consider tongue scraping — it reduces bacterial load in the oral cavity.
If you have periodontitis, treat it aggressively. This is not a dental issue. It is a cardiovascular risk factor.
Get your hsCRP tested. If it's elevated, your mouth is one of the first places to investigate — along with gut health, metabolic function, and visceral fat.
The most fascinating thing about this entire body of science is what it implies:
One of the highest-ROI cardiovascular interventions available to any human being — free, available tonight, requiring no prescription and no doctor's visit — is flossing your teeth.
It's not glamorous. It will never go viral the way a new drug does. But the American Heart Association just dedicated an entire scientific statement to telling you that your gums and your arteries are connected — and that treating one may protect the other.
Your mouth is the gateway to your heart. Treat it that way.
