Throughout 2024, COVID-19 levels in wastewater were very high – higher than the rest of the country. I’ve been wondering why the COVID-19 levels have been so high in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) versus the rest of the country. This blog is a hypothesis based on all the scientific research and data available over the last four years.
Just to remember COVID this year, everyone was experiencing bad “allergies” and throat issues. For many, there was something new in the outdoor air. Going outside it would feel like something was taking 1,000 of small bites out of your skin. It would do the same thing to the throat and bronchi. These small bites were something new.
Could this be from shedding of the COVID vaccines and boosters? 
The data shows 81% of the U.S. population has been vaccinated and 70% is fully vaccinated – so at least two doses.
There is another site that use to be really helpful and that is “Our World in Data.” The site tracks how many vaccine doses have been given by country and by date.
We had a peak of about 1 million doses administered in November 2023, and then the doses started to decline, to around 76,000 on January 22, 2024. Also, the COVID-19 levels in wastewater start to decline. So, there could be a relationship between the jabs and the wastewater levels.
Many virologists have said that vaccinating during a pandemic creates more variants because of the pressure the vaccines put on the virus. I have an episode on one of the virologists who actually worked for the Gates Foundation and on the ebola vaccine. The new COVID variants have been taking a month or two to mutate. This differs from before the pandemic, when the flu took 10 years to mutate.
Let’s look at vaccine status by state. Well, the West doesn’t have the highest vaccine rates. The Northeast does. If the wastewater levels were due to just the jabs, I would think the Northeast would have the highest % of COVID-19 in the wastewater.
Let’s look at the wastewater levels in the states with the lowest vaccine rates, which is the South. This graph suggests that the wastewater levels are related to a COVID-19 infection instead of the jab because the wastewater COVID levels track with the national average. They are not the highest levels. But they are not the lowest levels.
What else could be happening here? Why does Washington State have the highest levels of COVID-19 in wastewater?
I read the book “Expired: Covid the Untold Story” by Dr. Clare Craig. One piece has kept ringing in my ears: the size of the spike protein and the size of the nanoparticles. Her science has suggested these two particles are so small, they float in the air and don’t sink to the ground.
- The spike protein is a tiny piece of the COVID-19 virus that hooks our cells and injects the virus into them.
- The nanoparticles are the part of the jab that carried the instructions to our DNA. Billions of these little particles per jab.
In her book, Expired, Dr. Craig discusses the size of nanoparticle and the spike protein. Because they are so small, they act differently in the environment. Unlike bacteria and viruses, which tend to fall to the ground, these two are so small that they stay suspended in the air. They are lighter than air at sea level.
There has also been some concern that the nanoparticles may not degrade. The pharmaceutical companies had suggested the nanoparticles they were injecting dissolved in a week. Yet, early on in the pandemic, Stanford did a study which found, by accident, the nanoparticles were still active in the body 6 months after injection. There hasn’t been a follow-up study to see if these particles really do degrade.
My freshman year college biology course taught about the environment here in the Pacific Northwest – Washington and Oregon. Both these states have the Cascade Mountain range running the whole length of the state and the range is fairly close to the ocean shore.
We have winds coming down from Alaska and winds coming in from the Ocean. The Cascade Mountain Range stops clouds from passing over the mountains, causing a “rain shadow” effect. The area on the eastern side of the range receives less rain because the moisture can’t rise over the mountains. On the west side of the Cascade Mountains, the air bumps up against the Cascade range and churns back into the valley. This creates a churning effect in the air at these lower elevations.
In 2024, the Pacific Northwest had a very hot summer with little rain. Many of us had a lot of throat and allergy issues in 2024. And I noticed that when I drove up to Hood River, OR, only 300 feet elevation, it felt like driving out of a cloud of mold or fungus. You could breathe again.
I thought this cloud could be mold or fungus because, over the last 10-15 years, most of the cedar trees have been cut down. The significance of only a few cedar trees is cedar kills mold. Cedar trees can absorb much more water than a deciduous tree like a maple. It is overwhelming to think how much water these old trees had been drinking and filtering out the mold and fungus in the water. Now, that is not happening. But, mold or fungus are less active in dry weather and more active in wet weather.
When the rain came, things got much better. The COVID-19 levels in the PNW dropped immediately. The throat issues and allergy symptoms went away. Everyone began to recover. We were able to stop taking herbs. The wastewater levels went low almost immediately. As long as it rained, the COVID-19 levels remained low. So, maybe not mold or fungus.
Maybe what Dr. Craig said about these small particles, nanoparticles, staying suspended in the air was right. The mountain range was trapping the particles on the West side of the Cascade mountain range.
We don’t know how long these tiny particles survive. Research on their lifespan stopped when the Stanford scientists found the spike protein still in the body and active six months after injection.
Whatever the cause, I’m now watching areas that have prolonged periods of dryness to see what is happening with their COVID-19 levels. I’m wondering if these high COVID-19 levels have something to do with those burning or small prickling bites people were feeling on their skin, throat, and lungs. I am using Medical grade air purifiers in my home and office. That works really well at getting those prickling bites out of the air.
