Maricopa County Voter Indicted And Accused of Casting a Ballot In Her DEAD Mother’s Name

Share to Gab Clouthub Share

Yesterday, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced a new finding of voter fraud in Maricopa County.

We already know that dead people have been voting in our elections for a long time. We reported this in 2016:

 

 

The full forensic audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 election is looking at every piece of evidence from voter rolls to suspected machine tampering.

Audit expert Joe Hoft reported that Jovan Pulitzer’s method is being used in the “best in class” Arizona audit.

Attorney General Mark Brnovich tweeted the following statement:

A Scottsdale woman has been indicted and accused of casting a vote in her deceased mother’s name through an early ballot in the 2020 General Election. More:

SCOTTSDALE – Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced today that a State Grand Jury has indicted Tracey Kay McKee, of Scottsdale, with one count of Illegal Voting and one count of Perjury, for allegedly casting a vote in the name of a deceased person through an early ballot in the 2020 General Election. 

The indictment alleges that McKee signed the name of a deceased individual to an early ballot envelope. McKee is the daughter of the deceased individual, who died on October 5, 2020. McKee is accused of signing her deceased mother’s name to a declaration made under penalty of perjury on an early ballot envelope on or between October 7, 2020, and November 3, 2020.

All charged defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Assistant Attorney General Todd Lawson investigated and is prosecuting the case.

McKee’s next court appearance is set for August 11, 2021, in Maricopa County Superior Court.

No booking photograph is available.

Copy of indictment here.

This case was investigated and prosecuted by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office’s Election Integrity Unit (EIU). EIU was established with the support of the Arizona Legislature to combat reports of voter and election-related fraud. Currently, the EIU has 5 active election-related criminal cases in Superior Courts statewide, and continues to work on criminal and civil complaints made in connection with the 2020 election cycle.

 

Democrats continue to claim that signature verification is as secure as voter ID and in-person voting.

Democrats insist canvassing to clean voter rolls and ensure actual people are voting from their registered address is voter intimidation. All of this is happening while Joe Biden sends his thugs to our doors to make us get the jab.

This is the only way they can win, through cheating.

SHOCK REPORT: There Were More COVID-19 Vaccine Deaths Last Week in US than COVID-19 Deaths

Share to Gab Clouthub Share

 

There are now 9,125 reported deaths from the COVID-19 vaccinations across the United States this year.

 


 

The number of deaths linked to vaccines this year has absolutely skyrocketed. According to the CDC’s own data, in 2021 n the first 3 months, the VAERS website recorded over 1,750 deaths due to vaccines in the US.

Last week they were reporting 6,985 deaths, and this week that number jumped up 2,043 to 9,048.

That number is now at 9,195

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database contains information on unverified reports of adverse events (illnesses, health problems and/or symptoms) following immunization with US-licensed vaccines. Reports are accepted from anyone and can be submitted electronically at www.vaers.hhs.gov.”

 

There have been 411,931 adverse reactions reported to the vaccine.

Also, last week there were 1,505 COVID-19 deaths in the United States.

That means there were more Covid vaccine deaths in the United States last week than Covid deaths in the United States last week.

6 fully vaccinated people who attended an outdoor wedding caught the Delta variant, but people with Pfizer and Moderna shots survived

  • Six fully vaccinated people who attended an outdoor wedding in Texas came down with COVID-19.

  • All the breakthrough infections were in guests over 50.

  • There were two serious cases, including one death, in an attendee who'd had India's Covaxin vaccine.

  • See more stories on Insider's business page.

Six fully vaccinated people who attended an outdoor wedding in Texas in April came down with COVID-19 - a small outbreak that underscores how effective US-authorized vaccines are against even variants of the virus.

Though the vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna may not knock out every COVID-19 case, especially now that the more infectious Delta variant dominates across the US, they are very good at preventing death from COVID-19.

A preprint study from Baylor College of Medicine found that only one person who'd gotten an Indian-made vaccine, Covaxin, died after attending the 92-person wedding near Houston in April.

The wedding took place in a "large, open-air tent" before the Delta variant was circulating widely in the US, the study said. Everyone in attendance was required to be fully vaccinated.

The study's authors suspect that the Delta variant was introduced at the wedding by two people who had traveled from India and tested negative before their flight but developed symptoms in the US.

Two men in their 60s had the most severe COVID-19 cases

All six guests who contracted symptomatic COVID-19 after the wedding were over 50. Two had gotten the vaccine from Pfizer, two had gotten the vaccine from Moderna, and two had gotten an Indian-made vaccine called Covaxin. Their infections were confirmed with lab tests and viral sequencing for Delta.

Each experienced some common symptoms of COVID-19, including fever, cough, fatigue, and body aches. Those who'd gotten the Moderna and Covaxin vaccines also lost their sense of smell.

One Covaxin recipient and one patient who had Pfizer came down with more severe infections. The Pfizer patient was a man in his 60s with no known medical conditions that increase the odds of contracting COVID-19. He was hospitalized and given Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment (the same one President Donald Trump received) 10 days after the wedding. The Covaxin patient, a man in his late 60s (also with no COVID-19 comorbidities), died from complications of COVID-19. All of the other patients who contracted symptomatic COVID-19 after the wedding did have preconditions, including hypertension, overweight, and diabetes.

US-authorized vaccines prevent death and severe sickness

Rochelle Walensky, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has said vaccinated people should still get a COVID-19 test if they experience symptoms like a runny nose, sore throat, or cough, which can be indicative of a mild Delta infection among fully vaccinated people.

"What I would say is if you have those upper-respiratory symptoms and you've been vaccinated, you should absolutely get a COVID-19 test," Walensky said during a White House COVID-19 briefing last week.

But she also stressed that preliminary data from the past few months suggested that 99.5% of coronavirus deaths in the US were occurring in unvaccinated people.

"Those deaths were preventable with a simple, safe shot," she said.

During the briefing, Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden's chief medical advisor, pointed to real-world data from Scotland and England suggesting that the vaccines authorized in the US are highly effective at preventing the most disastrous cases from this variant.

"Please get vaccinated," Fauci said. "It will protect you against the surging of the Delta variant."

Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated who got the monoclonal antibody treatment. It was a patient with the Pfizer vaccine, not Covaxin.

Levine Cava also addressed the announcement Sunday that a vaccinated Miami-Dade county commissioner who helped other local officials in Surfside has tested positive for COVID-19. The news release from Miami-Dade County Commission Chairman Jose “Pepe” Diaz said he and his chief of staff, Isidoro Lopez, who also received a vaccine against COVID-19, came down with flu-like symptoms earlier in the day and later tested positive for the virus.

Levine Cava said officials who were in close proximity to Diaz and Lopez have been tested and all have come back negative. Levine Cava and other officials who spoke at Monday's news conference did not wear face masks.

Diaz had participated in news conferences and meetings with other officials in Surfside, the Miami Herald reported.

 

“Breakthrough” infections — fully vaccinated individuals who contract the coronavirus — do happen, although they are very rare. An Associated Press analysis of government data in May showed only about 1% of such cases resulted in hospitalization or death. 

The analysis suggested that nearly all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. recently have been in people who weren’t vaccinated, a staggering demonstration of how effective the shots have been and an indication that deaths could approach zero if every eligible person gets the vaccine.

Last week, Florida health officials reported an increase in COVID-19 cases and a higher positive test rate compared with other recent weeks.

'Doctors are still stunned:' How did foreign bacteria leave a Texas girl with brain damage ?

 

 

'Doctors are still stunned:' How did foreign bacteria leave a Texas girl with brain damage ?




·14 min read
In this article:



For most of the past six weeks, 4-year-old Lylah Baker has been struggling to survive an infection that doctors at Children’s Medical Center Dallas couldn’t beat back. It started out like a typical stomach bug, but within days tore through her body and into her brain.

Lylah’s family told me that doctors thought she had a rare autoimmune disorder that can be triggered by an infection. They put a tube down her throat to help her breathe. They gave her CT and MRI scans, and hooked her to machines to filter and replace her blood. They administered steroids and multiple antibiotics. She still wasn’t getting any better.

“They were even treating her for rabies, just to be cautious, even though she had never been bitten,” said Lylah’s aunt, Ashley Kennon, who is a nurse.

Eventually a test found an organism growing in Lylah’s blood that initially eluded identification. It was only after a neurosurgeon took a small sample from Lylah’s brain that the hospital was able to confirm this curly haired little girl from a small Texas town had been infected with deadly foreign bacteria that aren’t supposed to be sickening people in the United States.

“I think the doctors are still stunned. Nobody expected this,” Kennon told me.

Ashley Kennon visits with her niece, Lylah Baker, who continues to recover from melioidosis, caused by a rare bacteria.

Last week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent an advisory to health professionals across the country warning that three people who live nowhere near each other – one each in Minnesota, Kansas and Texas – have been seriously sickened since March from infections with a potentially deadly type of bacteria called Burkholderia pseudomallei. It is supposed to be found only in tropical climates, primarily in Southeast Asia and northern Australia, where it infects humans and animals through direct contact with contaminated soil and water. That’s where it lives and grows.

Threat response: I was a first responder at Chernobyl. It should have prepared America for disaster.

“These three cases are unusual because no recent travel outside the United States has been identified,” the CDC said in its advisory. Adding to the mystery, the agency said that genomic tests on bacteria that infected each of these very different people suggests a common source of exposure, “such as an imported product or animal.”

I’ve reported on medical mysteries like this for years, including tracking the very bacteria that sickened Lylah, and here’s what I’ve learned: Investigating the source of deadly infectious diseases in an increasingly interconnected world is vitally important because the lives of real people are at stake.

With human beings jetting across the globe, encroaching on wild habitats and trading in international wildlife and common household products, emerging pathogens can quickly move between continents and find their way to our doorsteps. The politicking and foot dragging that has hamstrung the search for the origin of COVID-19 is not how these investigations are supposed to go.

Knowing where a pathogen came from is critical in preventing future outbreaks – and saving people from the kind of suffering that Lylah and her family are going through.

'Risk of exposure in the United States is unknown but is believed to be low'

Lylah, the only child among the three cases in CDC’s alert about the Burkholderia pseudomallei outbreak, has brain damage from her infection, her aunt told me.

“She’s lucky to be alive,” said Kennon, who is serving as a spokesperson for Lylah’s parents, Josy and Dustin Baker, who have spent day and night with her at the hospital.

“The brain damage she has from this is pretty extensive,” Kennon said. “This is a little girl, 4 years old, who was walking and talking and so excited for preschool in the fall, who now can’t speak and can’t hold her head up, can’t walk. It’s kind of like starting over.”

Investigators from the CDC and three state health departments are in the early stages of trying to figure out how Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria that aren’t native to the United States could have sickened three people who currently seem to have no connection to each other.

“At this time, the risk of exposure in the United States is unknown but is believed to be low,” the agency said in a statement.

Protecting ourselves: Magnets, vaccines and the toll of the conspiracy of misinformation on our health

The bacteria cause a disease called melioidosis that is difficult to diagnose because of wide-ranging and nonspecific symptoms that can appear days – or even years – after exposure. And it’s deadly: killing 10% to 50% of those who become infected.

Few details have been released by health officials about the other two people, both adults, who were infected. According to the health alert, one is male, the other is female. The first case to be identified was in March and that person died. The other adult, like Lylah, became ill in May and has been discharged from an unidentified hospital into a transitional care unit.

Their initial symptoms ranged from coughing and shortness of breath to fatigue, nausea and vomiting; there were rashes and fevers that came and went, the CDC said. The patients were later diagnosed with infectious encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. The person who died 10 days after being hospitalized had preexisting health issues that put them at increased risk for melioidosis, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cirrhosis.

Lylah’s doctors at Children’s Medical Center Dallas were unavailable to talk about her case, a spokesperson said, but with the family’s permission confirmed key details of her medical history. State health department officials in Texas and Kansas, who are involved in the investigations, have not responded to interview requests and questions since July 1.

In Minnesota, the infected person is an adult with underlying health conditions, said Doug Schultz, a spokesperson for the Minnesota Department of Health. The department learned about the person’s infection when a clinical lab sent a bacterial sample from the person to the state public health laboratory for confirmation. The person’s infection was then linked to the other cases when the CDC ran whole genome sequencing on the bacteria, said Schultz, who said he couldn’t provide further details.

“We are just beginning our investigation,” Schultz said in an email. “We are conducting a thorough investigation into medical history, what household products the case used, their hobbies, and foods consumed. This will be compared to other states to see if there are any commonalities.”

The CDC said none of the three people had any recent travel history outside the areas near their homes, “therefore there are no known common links pertaining to travel inside or outside of the US.”

Investigating household items, soil, a pet fish as possible sources – or not

Lylah, who had no previous health problems, lives with her parents and 1-year-old sister in the small town of Bells, about 60 miles northeast of Dallas. She hasn’t traveled much in her lifetime, other than for an annual family beach vacation to Port Aransas, on the Gulf of Mexico near Corpus Christi. “I don’t think she’s ever left Texas,” her aunt told me.

Health investigators visited Lylah’s extended family early this month to take blood samples from about a dozen of them and ask about a wide range of items the little girl might have been exposed to. The investigators have told the family that because Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria survive best in a moist environment, they are “mainly interested in liquid products.”

Among the items they’ve asked family members to provide samples of for testing: any liquid vitamins, supplements or medications Lylah might have taken; a wide range of household cleaning items, including laundry detergent, bathroom and floor cleaners, deodorizing sprays and dish soap; and personal cleaning items such as hand soap and sanitizer, hand and body wipes and mouthwash the child might have used. They’ve also asked about packaged fruit items, such as juices, fruit cups and applesauce, as well as wanting to know broadly about any products Lylah may have had contact with that are believed to have been imported.

Lylah Baker, 4, was treated at Children's Medical Center Dallas for melioidosis, caused by a deadly foreign bacteria.

Investigators have expressed interest in a pet Betta fish that Lylah got during the winter and that died in February, Kennon said, and were hoping to possibly test the aquarium or any items that were in it. Betta, also called Siamese fighting fish, are a type of tropical freshwater fish native to Southeast Asia.

Another area they are investigating: garden soil and plants that might have been imported, Kennon said, adding that health officials will be testing soil samples from the places Lylah has been. In the days before she first started feeling ill on May 24, Lylah had been helping one of her grandmothers plant flowers, Kennon said, and they are being tested too.

Speaking out: An officer's vaccine fear may have killed him. His widow tries to save others, his legacy.

It’s important to know that none of these items may have anything to do with the source of Lylah’s infection. That’s why a systematic, in-depth investigation is so critical.

This early in an investigation the disease detectives from the CDC and state health departments are casting a wide net, looking into many possible suspects. Using standardized lists of products and activities, they’re asking questions of all of the families in the outbreak, seeking similarities between items the patients were exposed to. And they’re testing dozens of products and soil samples – as well as family members – to see if they can find the bacteria.

It’s a painstaking process that takes time.

Not everyone exposed will get sick

Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria are not considered to be easily spread from person to person. In countries where the bacteria are commonly found, people and animals are usually infected by coming into direct contact with soil or water where the bacteria are living and growing, such as by inhaling bacteria-contaminated dust or water droplets, or bacteria entering through a cut in the skin.

Not everyone who is exposed will become ill. For those who do, it can then take a day to many years between when a person is exposed and when they start developing symptoms of melioidosis, though the CDC says symptoms generally appear within two to four weeks. Getting an accurate diagnosis can be difficult because they symptoms are so nonspecific.

Could an accident have caused COVID-19?: Why the Wuhan lab-leak theory shouldn't be dismissed

According to the CDC, the only places in the United States where Burkholderia pseudomallei occurs naturally are Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. While about a dozen cases of melioidosis are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, these tend to be people who have a history of living in or traveling to tropical areas where the bacteria are typically found. So cases of melioidosis are very rare in this country.

The last time I reported on Burkholderia pseudomallei was because of a lab accident in late 2014 at the Tulane National Primate Research Center in Louisiana that raised concerns bacteria may have been released into the surrounding environment.

The Tulane National Primate Research Center is located on 500-acres in Covington, La.
The Tulane National Primate Research Center is located on 500-acres in Covington, La.

Researchers were working inside a secure biosafety level 3 laboratory with multiple layers of safeguards, yet the bacteria got out of one of the center’s labs and infected monkeys that had never been used in experiments and were kept elsewhere on the property. A federal investigation found that sloppy biosafety practices and workers wearing contaminated clothing outside the lab were the likely ways the bacteria were tracked to where the monkeys became infected. Environmental testing after the safety breach did not find the bacteria outdoors on the lab’s property.

It’s serious mistakes like these, made by scientists with the best of intentions at a prestigious facility, that go to why a thorough, independent investigation of all plausible causes of the current COVID-19 pandemic – including the potential for a lab accident – continue to be needed.

This 500-acre research laboratory and primate breeding facility 35 miles north of New Orleans is among dozens of academic and government labs across the country that have been conducting experiments with Burkholderia pseudomallei, research fueled by bioterrorism preparedness funding and the need to develop tests, treatments and vaccines. Because Burkholderia pseudomallei poses such a severe risk to public health and has potential for misuse as a bioweapon it’s on the U.S. government’s Tier 1 “select agent” list of pathogens – which also includes the Ebola virus and the bacteria that cause anthrax and plague.

The CDC said there is currently no evidence to suggest the three melioidosis cases are the result of a biological attack. The suspected source of the infections, based on the CDC’s health alert and the questions being asked of Lylah’s family, is an imported product or animal.

“Testing suggests a common source of infection, but that source has not yet been identified,” the CDC said in its statement.

While some scientists suspect that Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria may be lurking undetected in the soil in parts of the southern United States, the CDC apparently doesn’t think that’s the culprit with the three recent cases. The CDC’s statement said the agency’s genetic analysis of the bacteria from the three patients indicates they didn’t get infected from a natural reservoir of bacteria in North America, because the strains aren’t similar to those found in the Americas.

The CDC did not answer questions about the name of the strain involved in the outbreak or where that strain is found.

Last year, scientists from the CDC and the Texas Department of State Health Services suggested in a journal article that it’s possible Burkholderia pseudomallei may be endemic in Texas and some other warm-weather states. In analyzing the genomes of bacteria taken from two Texas residents who were separately sickened with melioidosis – one in 2004 and the other in 2018 – they found intriguing similarities. And additional similarities were found among the genomes of bacteria that over the years have sickened other patients who were residents of North America.

The genetic fingerprints in the current outbreak investigation involving Lylah and the people in Minnesota and Kansas appear to be pointing to a source outside the United States. But where? And how? There are more questions than answers about how three people’s lives have been devastated in recent months.

'Miracles have been worked'

For Lylah and her family, the questions aren’t just about how she was infected. Some of the biggest questions involve what is ahead of them.

“I think a lot of people, I think they think she’s just recovering in bed, getting stronger in bed,” her aunt said. “It’s the brain damage she’s having to recover from. It’s starting all over again and not knowing what the future is.”

On Thursday, Lylah moved to a specialty children’s rehabilitation hospital in Dallas where her family hopes she will be able to spend at least the next 30 days, insurance willing, receiving intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy to help overcome the lesions on her brain. Her parents will stay there with Lylah, Kennon said, supporting her through the therapy and also learning how to care for her when she moves back home.

Lylah’s mom, Josy, is on unpaid leave from her job at a veterinary clinic, Kennon said. Her dad, Dustin, is a firefighter paramedic, whose colleagues in Denison, Texas, have been helping support the family by taking on his shifts and donating their work. Lylah’s grandparents have been taking turns caring for her baby sister, Addie. There have been community fundraisers at local restaurants, Venmo donations and a GoFundMe page.

The support the family has received has been amazing, Kennon said.

“It’s just the fear of the unknown,” she said. “The miracles have been worked. She’s pretty much survived the unimaginable. She’s definitely beaten the odds, that’s for sure. So everything she does is a huge success for us.”

Mr so called hero.... NOT SO MUCH LOL) Houston Man Praised by Fake News Media for Waiting Hours To Vote In Dem Primary — Is Arrested for Illegal Voting

Houston Man Praised by Fake News Media for Waiting Hours To Vote In Dem Primary — Is Arrested for Illegal Voting

Share to Gab Clouthub Share

More evidence of voter fraud.

Back on March 4th, 2020 the media praised 62-year-old Hervis Rogers who waited in line for 6 hours to vote.

 

The media tried to use the story to smear Republicans.

Back on March 4th, 2020, Houston Public Media reported: 

 

He gained national attention through his tenacity at a local polling place, refusing to leave even after others might have: Hervis Rogers was the last man to vote at his Texas Southern University polling place early Wednesday morning, and possibly the last person to cast a ballot in the State of Texas when he did so around 1 a.m.

Rogers, who works two jobs, arrived at the polls just before 7 p.m., and his roughly six-hour wait was tough, he said. But that didn’t stop him.

 

“It is insane, but it’s worth it,” Rogers said while waiting in line. “I mean, I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t vote. I feel like it’s— I voice my opinion, but it don’t feel right if I don’t vote. So I said, ‘I’m going to take a stand and vote. It might make a difference.’”

When he finally got to TSU, Rogers said he had already been to two other packed locations nearby. He had work at 6 a.m. Wednesday, and thought about just turning around to go home, but something came over him, he said, and he decided to stick it out. More than five hours later, he still sat in line, patiently waiting to cast a ballot for Joe Biden.

Now, we have this.

Authorities are saying Hervis Rogers was not eligible to vote due to the fact he was on parole.

Back in 1995, Rogers was arrested and sentenced to 25 years in prison for burglary and intent to commit theft.

Your Erie reported:

A Houston man who received widespread attention after standing six hours in line to cast a ballot in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary was in jail Friday on charges that it was illegal for him to vote at all because he was on parole.

Hervis Rogers became an overnight face of Texas’ battle over voting access when he emerged from a polling center at a historically Black college around 1:30 a.m. He was among Houston voters on Super Tuesday who waited more than an hour — and some for several hours — in mostly minority, Democratic neighborhoods. Lines in mostly white, Republican neighborhoods were shorter.

“The way it was set up, it was like it was set up for me to walk away,” Rogers told reporters in comments carried by multiple news outlets, including The Associated Press.

He was arrested this week on two counts of illegal voting, a second-degree felony that carries a possible sentence of two to 20 years in prison. His bail was set at $100,000.

Liberals attacked Texas AG Paxton for the arrest.

He responded, “I prosecute voter fraud everywhere we find it!”:
