'Stressor-induced Hypoxemia' still likely

Post #664

In this prior report, it was hypothesized that a stressor — i.e., electromagnetic fields (EMFs) — could induce mass hypoxemia in people, leading to the described situation which was found in New York City in the first wave of COVID. A check of the literature reveals that that hypothesis is consistent with empirical data.

Background

When hit with electromagnetic radiation, human bodies overproduce nitric oxide, leading to high nitrite levels and other reactive oxygen molecules (free radicals). But the nitrites and the free radicals produced by EMFs oxidize hemoglobin, creating methemoglobin.

Methemoglobin has too high of an affinity for oxygen, and won’t release it to the cells. The hemoglobin molecule has 4 sites for iron, and as soon as one iron is oxidized to ferric iron, then — while ferric iron doesn’t bind oxygen — the other 3 sites then begin to bind oxygen too strongly.

By not releasing the oxygen it is carrying, methemoglobin starves your cells of oxygen. With hemoglobin, there is a known degree of affinity for oxygen, forming what is known as the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve, or oxyhemoglobin dissocation curve (ODC).

The standard oxygen tension when 50% of hemoglobin is saturated (P50) is 26.7 mmHg. Any tension lower than that indicates too much affinity for oxygen, where it is not being released to the cells. Here are the results of investigating the affinity in COVID patients:

As you can tell, most of the readings are below the standard value, indicating too much affinity for oxygen — just as would be true if some kind of a stressor had induced high methemoglobin levels in those patients.

Importance

Because there is empirical evidence which supports the hypothesis that much — and possibly most — of the critical illness seen early in COVID could have been due to an occult stressor that ramped-up the patient methemoglobin levels, further investigation by concerned parties is warranted.

If you can create mass hypoxemia just by directing EMFs at people, then you could make it seem like there is a deadly pandemic of an acute respiratory infection, even though by March 2020 (when Cuomo predicted 26,000 deaths in New York), Diamond Princess data made it clear that COVID was not any more than twice as bad as flu.
