Australia Created a Police State to Stop COVID-19. Data Show It’s Not Working

/in , , , , , , , /by

The images from Australia’s lockdown are terrifying, and many people are awakening to the moral horror that is engulfing the Land Down Under.

On Monday New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the government would be extending its lockdown following an outbreak of the Delta variant.

“We don’t yet believe that we have reached the peak of this outbreak, or necessarily the edge of it,” Ardern said at a news conference in the capital Wellington.

Meanwhile, in nearby Australia, residents are entering the ninth week of a lockdown that had initially been scheduled for two weeks. In many of the hardest-hit parts of the city, NBC reports, military personnel roam the streets and authorities issue fines of up to $3,700 to individuals breaking lockdown orders.

The policy has resulted in violent clashes between police and lockdown protesters, but public health officials have defended the policy, which is expected to last at least through September.

“What this is about is buying us time,” said Kerry Chant, the chief health officer in New South Wales state.

The decision by New Zealand and Australia to lockdown—and stay in lockdown as the virus spreads—fits a familiar pattern.

In 2020, numerous governments around the world went into lockdown to attempt to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. In the United States, public health officials created a “15 days to slow the spread” campaign—which quickly devolved, in many places, into indefinite closures of all economic sectors deemed “non-essential.”

The results of lockdowns were catastrophic—millions of job losses, millions of businesses destroyed, surging drug overdoses, increased youth suicide and depression, and a massive decrease in cancer screenings, among them. Globally, as many as 150 million people are expected to slip into extreme poverty, according to the World Bank.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor at Stanford University Medical School, recently called lockdowns the “biggest public health mistake we’ve ever made.”

“The harm to people is catastrophic,” said Bhattacharya.

The harms would be bad enough, but an abundance of evidence also suggests the lockdowns were ineffective at containing the virus. Nearly three dozen academic studies have been published suggesting that lockdowns do little to slow the spread of the virus.

Following the outbreak last year, modelers warned that Sweden would incur “at least 96,000 deaths … by 1 July without mitigation.” To date, fewer than 15,000 Swedes have died with coronavirus, and Sweden saw a lower death spike than most of Europe. Moreover, neighbors such as Norway and Finland, who had policies similar to Sweden, had among the lowest COVID mortality rates in Europe.

“[Lockdowns] have not served to control the epidemic in the places where they have been most vigorously imposed,” Bhattacharya told Newsweek earlier this year.

Unfortunately, the current lockdowns in Australia and New Zealand are proving no more effective at slowing the virus than the lockdowns of 2020—despite the hardline approach of their governments.

The 3-day moving average for cases is nearly 1,000 in Australia—nearly double its peak in 2020. In New Zealand, meanwhile, cases have quickly surged to more than 60 per day—despite the fact that New Zealand went into lockdown after learning of a single case of COVID.

One reason lockdowns struggle to contain the virus is that research shows that stay-at-home orders may actually be counterproductive.

“Micro evidence contradicts the public-health ideal in which households would be places of solitary confinement and zero transmission,” University of Chicago economist Casey B. Mulligan noted in a National Bureau of Economic Research Paper published in April. “Instead, the evidence suggests that ‘households show the highest transmission rates’ and that ‘households are high-risk settings for the transmission of [COVID-19].’”

Economists at the RAND Corporation and the University Southern California reached a similar conclusion regarding the ineffectiveness of “shelter-in-place” orders months later.

“We fail to find that shelter-in-place policies saved lives,” the authors reported. “We failed to find that countries or U.S. states that implemented SIP policies earlier, and in which SIP policies had longer to operate, had lower excess deaths than countries/U.S. states that were slower to implement SIP policies,” the authors explain.

Sadly, governments are compounding the tragedy of the pandemic with lockdown policies. Citizens are not just forced to deal with just a deadly pandemic; they are also forced to contend with police states that are growing increasingly aggressive and brutal.

In Australia, rescue dogs recently were shot dead to prevent charity workers from picking them up—because it would require travel. The state is also using “health hotels” to involuntarily confine COVID-positve citizens, while multiple quarantine facilities are being constructed, including a facility in Queensland that will house up to 1,000 people.

Australians who have declined to submit themselves to state confinement have found themselves on the run. Police also are allegedly monitoring fitness trackers to make sure individuals are not traveling beyond the boundaries established by the state.

“It’s getting harder and harder to hide if you’re doing the wrong thing,” Channel 9 News Sydney recently reported.

Australians who’ve gathered to resist these measures have been violently suppressed by police, who have shown no hesitation to use rubber bullets and pepper spray against them. This week video emerged of a child crying in agony after being hit in the face with pepper spray by police during a freedom rally.

“I can’t see,” the boy cries as rally attendees try to wash the chemicals from his eyes with water.

The images are terrifying, and many people are beginning to awaken to the moral horror that is engulfing the Land Down Under.

“Australians (and perhaps all in the west): are you being asked to choose between the dangers of a police state vs the dangers of Covid?” author Jordan B. Peterson tweeted Thursday. “I would certainly prefer the relatively low risk of the latter to the increasingly unpleasant certainty of the former.”

Needless to say, these results are not what Australian lawmakers intended when they went into lockdown. They no doubt had hoped to contain or at least slow the spread of the virus; that’s not happening. Their police state, they would contend, was designed to keep people safe, not create tyranny. But that’s exactly what it is doing.

And this potential for tyranny is pregnant in lockdowns everywhere.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go,” US President Harry S. Truman once observed, “and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”

Terror is what Australia’s government has become. Let’s pray that New Zealand and indeed the rest of the world finally recognize the true face of lockdowns.

Is Covid A Population Control Plot?

/in , , , , , , , /by

“If we wait for history to present us with freedom and other precious gifts, we risk waiting in vain. History is us – and there is no alternative but to shoulder the burden of what we so passionately desire and bear it out of the depths.” – Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

This blog has 4 parts. The first is about the FDA full approval of the vaccine and the second is asking if the whole Covid hoax was actually the unthinkable ( to some) idea of population control. The second to last about using inmates to test certain drugs and the outcry that was caused whereas millions of Americans are being used to test the China virus vaccination. The last is a link to a video about mass psychosis. All four articles will have a link provided at the end of each section/ part. Please hit each to get the balance of each section of this blog. Please also share far and wide using this blog. Thank you.

PART ONE.

Now that other eyes have taken a close look at the so-called FDA ‘full approval’ for the vax, it is turning out to be like everything else surrounding the ‘Great Hoax.’ This article describes the ‘approval’ documents as a classic bait and switcheroo. It really is a steamy pile of BS and doublespeak. It’s no wonder now that few can any longer believe anything regarding the greatest hoax of all time.

Update: See further legal analysis from an attorney at the bottom of the story.

The Food and Drug Administration’s “full authorization” for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for Covid-19 was announced with a fair amount of hooplah and fanfare. The President of the United States announced the monumental development and touted it as rationale for the vaccine mandates to commence in the private sector, throughout the government, and in the U.S. military.

President Joe Biden was on the spot Monday morning with a quick reaction to the FDA’s “full authorization” of the Covid-19 vaccines. “The FDA has officially approved the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine,” Biden said. “While all three COVID vaccines have met FDA’s strict standards for emergency use, this FDA approval should give added confidence that this vaccine is safe and effective. If you’re not vaccinated yet, now is the time.”

Biden’s announcement followed upon the widespread media coverage that the Pfizer-BioNTech had full approval for the use of the vaccine in the United States.

“The Food and Drug Administration granted Pfizer and BioNTech full U.S. approval of their Covid-19 vaccine – becoming the first in the U.S. to win the coveted designation and giving even more businesses, schools and universities greater confidence to adopt vaccine mandates,” CNBC reported.

“Up until now, the mRNA vaccine was on the U.S. market under an Emergency Use Authorization, which was granted by the FDA in December. Since then, more than 204 million of the Pfizer shots have been administered, according to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” the report added.

The Pentagon on Wednesday finally issued its order that U.S. troops get the vaccine — or else. “To defend this Nation, we need a healthy and ready force,” the Defense Department memo said. “After careful consultation with military experts and military leadership, and with the support of the President, I have determined that mandatory vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is necessary to protect the force and defend the American people.”

But a closer examination of the “full authorization” documents has some Americans feeling deceived. There is the matter that Pfizer-BioNTech still appears to be afforded the legal protections that accompany Emergency Use Authorization, all while it purportedly has “full” FDA approval. How did the pharmaceutical company manage such a commercial ‘coup’?

Upon a more critical look at the documents, it now very much seems to be the case that the company, along with the indispensable aid of a complicit media and the Biden administration, has engaged in a classic bait-and-switch.

Before proceeding, examine the technical language used in the awkwardly phrased release. The new label for the ‘fully authorized’ vaccine is called ‘Comirnarty.’

“On December 11, 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for emergency use of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 for individuals 16 years of age and older pursuant to Section 564 of the Act,” the FDA stated in a lettet to the Global Senior Director of Pfizer Ms. Elaine Harkins. “FDA reissued the letter of authorization on: December 23, 2020, February 25, 2021, May 10, 2021, June 25, 2021, and August 12, 2021.”

“On August 23, 2021, FDA approved the biologics license application (BLA) submitted by BioNTech Manufacturing GmbH for COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 16 years of age and older.”

PhD. biochemistry and molecular biology student Kathleen Lee picked up on the change in language and decided to press further…………

PART TWO.

Here is an article entitled, “Could It Be a Population Reduction Plot After All?” It appears others are now starting to ask the unthinkable question that few minds can fathom, yet it seems to be the only one that truly explains what’s really going on behind the curtain. Oh, you can say it’s all for the money, but stop and ask yourself would all this insanity be necessary to peddle stink’n injections unless the injections are part of an unspeakable hidden agenda.

Read the rest here.

PART THREE.

The Arkansas rat knew just where to take his hit piece.

Right out of the chute, the Washington Compost begins by condemning the Arkansas doctor’s use of Ivermectin for jail inmates as dangerous ‘experimental use.’ This is beyond rich. What the hell has been going on for over a year and a half with regard to the Covid vax if it’s not been experimental? Yet, nary a cricket is audible from the Compost over the dangers of the vax, which appear to be numerous, but they will do their level best to create an uproar over Ivermectin use by jail inmates. Especially note how they get all torqued out of shape and ridicule the doctor’s prophylactic dispensing of the drug by insinuating that one has to become ill with Covid before you can take it. You can bet if anyone died or was injured as a result of the doctor’s practice it would be shouted to the rooftops, which again is not true at all with regard to vax injuries and deaths. It all points out how the media are foot soldiers, carrying the water for Big Pharma. Three hundred fifty inmates is not a particularly large population sample in which to test the efficacy of the dewormer, but it’s worth watching how this one unfolds.

Read the rest here.

PART FOUR.

In this video we are going to explore the most dangerous of all psychic epidemics, the mass psychosis. A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Two examples of mass psychoses are the American and European witch hunts 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century.
This video will aim to answer questions surrounding mass psychosis: What is it? How does is start? Has it happened before? Are we experiencing one right now? And if so, how can the stages of a mass psychosis be reversed?

Natural Immunity 13-Times Stronger Than Pfizer Covid Vaccine [Videos]

/in , , , , , , /by

There are a growing number of scientific studies showing that the bodies ability to deal with the SARS-COV2 virus is more effective than taking any vaccine.

A BMJ Yale peer reviewed study titled “Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infections” concluded:

This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity.

Gravitas: Pfizer’s abusive vaccine deals

Natural Immunity vs. Covid Vaccine

In an article titled “Israeli Study: Natural Immunity Is 13x Stronger Than Pfizer COVID Shots” Shawn Fleetwood reported:

A new pre-print Israeli study has found that people with natural immunity to COVID-19 could be 13 times less likely to contract the respiratory virus than those who were solely vaccinated against the disease.

Conducted by researchers at Maccabi Healthcare and Tel Aviv University, the yet-to-be peer-reviewed study found that when comparing individuals previously infected with the virus and those that received two jabs of the Pfizer-BioNTech shot, those with natural infection saw greater protection against the delta variant and breakthrough infection.

“SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021,” the study read. “The increased risk was significant for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold increased risk for symptomatic disease.”

Senator Rand Paul tweeted the following:

To Get VAXXED or Not to Get VAXXED

World Tribune in an August 6, 2021 article titled “For employees being coerced into being vaccinated, website offers facts and legal options” wrote:

No one has the right to mandate an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approved vaccine, which all current Covid vaccines are, according to a website offering legal advice for those facing mandated vaccination.

“Your Right to Informed Consent is separate from the Option to Refuse, and is also based on Federal law over EUAs,” the Defending the Republic website notes.

Currently, there are no licensed Covid-19 vaccines in the U.S. All Covid-19 vaccines are currently approved only as Emergency Use Authorized (EUAs). “Approval” does not mean “licensed,” the website notes.

“It is a violation of your privacy rights to be forced to declare whether you have been vaccinated or not,” the website notes. “When a Virtue Hunter seeks this information, remind them of privacy rights of your own medical information, also known as PHI and PII.”

The website notes that the most recent relevant court decision in relation to an injunction application on an EUA vaccine was the 2005 case Doe v. Rumsfeld, where the United States District Court for the District of Columbia required that the EUA anthrax vaccine be only administered in the military on a voluntary basis “pursuant to the terms of a lawful emergency use authorization (“EUA”) pursuant to section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.” This decision found the EUA could not be mandated; recognizing the option to refuse under federal law governing EUAs.

“To be clear,” the website adds, “the EEOC’s guidance updated on May 28, 2021, related to language suggesting that vaccines may be ‘required’ by employers, only states that ‘federal EEO laws do not prevent an employer from requiring all employees physically entering the workplace to be vaccinated…’ This is called a word game or word salad. This is a limited statement which does not include other federal law, specifically 21 USCS § 360bbb-3 under the Food Drug and Safety Act, discussed above, which requires that EUAs are administered with the option to refuse and the right to informed consent, which requires both the benefits and the negatives of an EUA vaccine.”

EEOC guidance, the website continues, also recognizes religious or medical exemptions.

A religious exemption, for example, “can apply to those who oppose abortion based on their faith because the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, (the Jansen vaccine), uses retinal cells from a fetus that was aborted in 1985 and treated in a lab since; the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines test the mRNAs on fetal cell lines from an aborted fetus from 1973.”

Every individual has a right to refuse medical treatment. The ideal is my body, my choice when it comes to getting vaxxed.

Even the CDC has doubts

In an article titled “CDC Director Warns of ‘Increased Risk of Severe Disease Among Those Vaccinated Early’” Freedom Wire reported:

We’ve had vaccinations for close to 9 months and the majority of the country is vaccinated, yet we’re about to reach the same levels of infection that we had in February when we hit our highest totals.

They’re already saying that there is going to need to be a booster shot administered. But honestly, where will it end? Is it going to be booster shots ad infinitum? Endless boosters for the rest of our lives that just pump garbage into our bodies?

Well, it’s even worse if you were vaccinated early according to the CDC director Rochelle Walensky.

“We are seeing concerning evidence of waning vaccine effectiveness over time and against the Delta variant,” Walensky said.

WATCH: Press Briefing by White House COVID-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials August 18, 2021.

CONCLUSION.

The FDA has “approved” the Pfizer SARS-COV2 vaccine. So what does it mean that they’re FDA approved? Honestly, it doesn’t mean a whole lot.

Pfizer is also the producer of Chantix which is now known to cause cancer. Yet the drug is FDA approved.

There have still been no long term studies on the SARS-COV2 vaccines and we have absolutely no idea what may be the result of this experiment.

We do know:

  1. Getting vaxxed has serious side effects.
  2. Getting vaxxed can cause shedding, the transmission of the virus to family, friend and coworkers.
  3. Getting vaxxed does not mean you are immune to Covid.
  4. Getting vaxxed should be a person choice, but it is not.
  5. Getting vaxxed can kill you.

We are years if not a decade away from knowing the full impact of the Covid virus and the negative/positive effects of getting vaxxed.

Getting vaxxed must be a decision made by the patient and their primary care doctor. You and your doctor know best how to deal with this virus. Not the government.

Choose wisely.

What more proof do the Democrat-fascists require?

Horowitz: 15 studies that indicate natural immunity from prior infection is more robust than the COVID vaccines

It’s the 800-pound gorilla in the pandemic. The debate over forced vaccination with an ever-waning vaccine is cresting right around the time when the debate should be moot for a lot of people. Among the most fraudulent messages of the CDC’s campaign of deceit is to force the vaccine on those with prior infection, who have a greater degree of protection against all versions of the virus than those with any of the vaccines. It’s time to set the record straight once and for all that natural immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is broader, more durable, and longer-lasting than any of the shots on the market today. Our policies must reflect that reality…

WALL STREET JOURNAL Questions COVID Vaccine Safety

/in , , , , , , , /by

Finally. Writing in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, UCLA Geffen School of Medicine Doctor Joseph Lapado and Yale School of Public Health Doctor Harvey Risch warn there are legitimate and serious concerns about the side effects of the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine. They also worry vaccine politics could be preventing officials from telling Americans the truth about the risks.

“One remarkable aspect of the Covid-19 pandemic has been how often unpopular scientific ideas, from the lab-leak theory to the efficacy of masks, were initially dismissed, even ridiculed, only to resurface later in mainstream thinking. Differences of opinion have sometimes been rooted in disagreement over the underlying science. But the more common motivation has been political,” they write.

Are Covid Vaccines Riskier Than Advertised?

There are concerning trends on blood clots and low platelets, not that the authorities will tell you.

 One remarkable aspect of the Covid-19 pandemic has been how often unpopular scientific ideas, from the lab-leak theory to the efficacy of masks, were initially dismissed, even ridiculed, only to resurface later in mainstream thinking. Differences of opinion have sometimes been rooted in disagreement over the underlying science. But the more common motivation has been political.

Another reversal in thinking may be imminent. Some scientists have raised concerns that the safety risks of Covid-19 vaccines have been underestimated. But the politics of vaccination has relegated their concerns to the outskirts of scientific thinking—for now.

Historically, the safety of medications—including vaccines—is often not fully understood until they are deployed in large populations. Examples include rofecoxib (Vioxx), a pain reliever that increased the risk of heart attack and stroke; antidepressants that appeared to increase suicide attempts among young adults; and an influenza vaccine used in the 2009-10 swine flu epidemic that was suspected of causing febrile convulsions and narcolepsy in children. Evidence from the real world is valuable, as clinical trials often enroll patients who aren’t representative of the general population. We learn more about drug safety from real-world evidence and can adjust clinical recommendations to balance risk and benefits.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or Vaers, which is administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, is a database that allows Americans to document adverse events that happen after receiving a vaccine. The FDA and CDC state that the database isn’t designed to determine whether the events were caused by a vaccine. This is true. But the data can nonetheless be evaluated, accounting for its strengths and weaknesses, and that is what the CDC and FDA say they do

The Vaers data for Covid-19 vaccines show an interesting pattern. Among the 310 million Covid-19 vaccines given, several adverse events are reported at high rates in the days immediately after vaccination, and then fall precipitously afterward. Some of these adverse events might have occurred anyway. The pattern may be partly attributable to the tendency to report more events that happen soon after vaccination.

The database can’t say what would have happened in the absence of vaccination. Nonetheless, the large clustering of certain adverse events immediately after vaccination is concerning, and the silence around these potential signals of harm reflects the politics surrounding Covid-19 vaccines. Stigmatizing such concerns is bad for scientific integrity and could harm patients.

Four serious adverse events follow this arc, according to data taken directly from Vaers: low platelets (thrombocytopenia); noninfectious myocarditis, or heart inflammation, especially for those under 30; deep-vein thrombosis; and death. Vaers records 321 cases of myocarditis within five days of receiving a vaccination, falling to almost zero by 10 days. Prior research has shown that only a fraction of adverse events are reported, so the true number of cases is almost certainly higher. This tendency of underreporting is consistent with our clinical experience.

Analyses to confirm or dismiss these findings should be performed using large data sets of health-insurance companies and healthcare organizations. The CDC and FDA are surely aware of these data patterns, yet neither agency has acknowledged the trend.

The implication is that the risks of a Covid-19 vaccine may outweigh the benefits for certain low-risk populations, such as children, young adults and people who have recovered from Covid-19. This is especially true in regions with low levels of community spread, since the likelihood of illness depends on exposure risk.

And while you would never know it from listening to public-health officials, not a single published study has demonstrated that patients with a prior infection benefit from Covid-19 vaccination. That this isn’t readily acknowledged by the CDC or Anthony Fauci is an indication of how deeply entangled pandemic politics is in science.

There are, however, signs of life for scientific honesty. In May, the Norwegian Medicines Agency reviewed case files for the first 100 reported deaths of nursing-home residents who received the Pfizer vaccine. The agency concluded that the vaccine “likely” contributed to the deaths of 10 of these residents through side effects such as fever and diarrhea, and “possibly” contributed to the deaths of an additional 26. But this type of honesty is rare. And it is rare for any vaccine to be linked to deaths, so this unusual development for mRNA vaccines merits further investigation.

The battle to recover scientific honesty will be an uphill one in the U.S. Anti-Trump politics in the spring of 2020 mushroomed into social-media censorship. News reporting often lacked intellectual curiosity about the appropriateness of public-health guidelines—or why a vocal minority of scientists strongly disagreed with prevailing opinions. Scientists have advocated for or against Covid-19 therapies while having financial relationships with product manufacturers and their foundation benefactors.

Public-health authorities are making a mistake and risking the public’s trust by not being forthcoming about the possibility of harm from certain vaccine side effects. There will be lasting consequences from mingling political partisanship and science during the management of a public-health crisis.

STUDY: Vaccinated Individuals Carry 251 Times the Load of COVID-19 Viruses in their Nostrils Compared to the Unvaccinated

/in , , , , , , /by

We recently wrote a column titled “FACT CHECKING THE CDC: SARS-COV2 Vaccines and Shedding” We stated:

There is growing debate on whether or not the SARS-COV2 vaccinated shed. Shedding occurs after someone is vaccinated and then transmits the SARS-COV2 disease to others that they come into contact with. There is serious discussion about individuals shedding after receiving their shots (vaxx).

Proof That Vaccinated People Transmit the SARS-COV2 Virus

Peter A. McCullough, M.D., MPH in a The Defender Children’s Health Defense column wrote:

A groundbreaking preprint paper by the prestigious Oxford University Clinical Research Group, published Aug. 10 in The Lancet, includes alarming findings devastating to the COVID vaccine rollout.

The study found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated.

While moderating the symptoms of infection, the jab allows vaccinated individuals to carry unusually high viral loads without becoming ill at first, potentially transforming them into presymptomatic superspreaders.

This phenomenon may be the source of the shocking post-vaccination surges in heavily vaccinated populations globally.

The paper’s authors, Chau et al, demonstrated widespread vaccine failure and transmission under tightly controlled circumstances in a hospital lockdown in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam.

Read the full study by clicking here.

Science dictates that this issue of vaccinated individuals shedding the SARS-COV2 virus must be studied in depth in order to understand if getting vaccinated is a good thing or bad thing.

Sadly, this “shedding” issue has taken on a political twist that is not helpful to understanding the positives and negatives of getting vaccinated.

Get VAXXED or Else

They are coming for us:

in a column titled “’YOUR PAPERS PLEASE’ Is Only the Beginning” wrote:

Last week Devvy Kidd emailed me that Pfizer’s clot shot will be licensed this week and that means the demand will rise for vaccination to enter stores, go to work, see a movie, have a surgery, or attend a wedding or funeral.  The first thing I heard Monday morning was that the FDA had licensed the Pfizer jab.  This is the end of all medical freedom. “Your papers please,” is only the beginning.  As for the Food and Drug Administration, Devvy’s comments were spot on when she said, “If anyone had any doubts about the FDA being owned by big pharma, this should hammer it home.”

Wayne Allen Root writes, “We have suicide bombers in the White House. We have suicide bombers in our governor’s mansions. Worst of all, we have suicide bombers directing the U.S. economy. Call this suicide by Democrats.”

He’s right, we are headed for disaster, far worse than the Hindenburg and Titanic.  New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco are all demanding “Your papers please,” to go into any restaurant, bar, nightclub, gym, even retail stores.  I would assume that means groceries as well.  They’ll starve the people who want nothing to do with their medical nihilism.  What’s next?  A patch on clothing that says “unvaxxed?”

And yes Wayne, the Democrats are asking for an economic disaster because 50% of Americans refuse the vax. They will stop attending functions, eating out, and spending their money where it counts.  They’re not just morons, they’re Red Fascists.

Leo Hohman’s latest article spells it out.  The Department of Homeland Security has issued a terror alert equating Americans who oppose government COVID restrictions with 9/11 terrorists.

“DHS will continue to identify and evaluate calls for violence, including online activity associated with the spread of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and false narratives, by known or suspected threat actors and provide updated information, as necessary.”

In a help-wanted ad posted to the National Guard’s website it is looking for men and women between the ages of 17 and 35 and in good physical shape to serve in its military police units as internment and resettlement specialists.

The E31 classification jobs will involve working in “Search/Restraint.”

Wake up America!

Israel is one of the countries that has mandated their citizens to get Vaxxed. How is this working out for Israelis? Noga Tarnopolsky in a column titled “Ultra-Vaxxed Israel’s Crisis Is a Dire Warning to America” reports:

The massive surge of COVID-19 infections in Israel, one of the most vaccinated countries on earth, is pointing to a complicated path ahead for America.

The complex and sobering truth is that no single policy or event brought Israel to this crisis, Hagai Levine, a Hebrew University of Jerusalem professor of epidemiology, told The Daily Beast. A deadly set of circumstances came together to put Israel on the precipice, most of which can be summed up as: “We are still in the midst of a pandemic, and there is no silver bullet.”

“All the vectors have influenced the rise in morbidity,” he said.

Conclusion

Peter A. McCullough, M.D., MPH concludes:

Vaccinated individuals are blasting out [shedding] concentrated viral explosions into their communities and fueling new COVID surges. Vaccinated healthcare workers are almost certainly infecting their coworkers and patients, causing horrendous collateral damage.

Continued vaccination will only make this problem worse, particularly among frontline doctors and nurses workers who are caring for vulnerable patients.

The SARS-COV2 vaccines are new, in scientific terms. Some of the vaccines used and distributed in the United States are currently not fully FDA approved. The exception is the Pfizer vaccine.

We are years if not a decades away from understanding the long term effects of taking the SARS-COV2 vaccines.

Many have taken the SARS-COV2 vaccines and are doing fine, others are suffering and some dying from the effects of taking the vaccines.

The problem is that the federal government, companies, hospitals and social media are doing their best, using fear, to force individuals to take the vaccine. The idea of doctor patient decision making on taking or not taking the SARS-COV2 vaccine is almost moot.

To make matters worse, the federal government is now saying that individuals who have been vaccinated need a booster shot. Why? If the vaccine is truly effective why the booster shot?

The World Health Organization’s (HWO) website on Covid states:

Will COVID-19 vaccines provide long-term protection?

Because COVID vaccines have only been developed in the past months, it’s too early to know the duration of protection of COVID-19 vaccines. Research is ongoing to answer this question. However, it’s encouraging that available data suggest that most people who recover from COVID-19 develop an immune response that provides at least some period of protection against reinfection – although we’re still learning how strong this protection is, and how long it lasts.

Even WHO doesn’t know if the SARS-COV2 vaccine is effective.

So, there it is. Science is never settled, even though there are some who believe it is. We are a long way from knowing the truth about COVID-19 and SARS-COV2 vaccines.

To get vaxxed or not to get vaxxed is a personal decision. It’s your body and your choice. Choose wisely, in consultation with your doctor.

STUDY: Majority Of Masks Only 10% Effective Against Virus

/in , , , , , , /by

It’s all about control with no concern for actual science. It’s all power and breaking America in order to remake it into a communist hellhole.

Virtue signaling on steroids. Damn the mask pollution.

Blue surgical face masks are only 10% effective in preventing COVID infection, new study finds

  • University of Waterloo researchers find most cloth masks are only 10% effective
  • Researchers warn most cloth masks do not cover the face properly  
  • N95 or KN95 masks were found to be the most effective at filtering aerosols
  • Study also found that even ‘moderate ventilation’ matches the best of masks in terms of protection against COVID-19
  • Mask debate remains contentious in the country as delta variant spreads 

By Ronny Reyes For Daily Mail, 

Most blue surgical face masks used by many during the pandemic are not enough to avoid people from being infected with COVID-19, an alarming new study has found.

The study from the University of Waterloo in Canada showed N95 or KN95 masks did the best job in containing aerosol droplets from the wearer’s mouth.

The blue, cloth surgical masks that have become popular during the pandemic were found be only 10 percent effective as it doe not cover the face properly.

The study from the University of Waterloo revealed that N95 masks did the best job in containing aerosol droplets, making them the go-to mask for indoor events.

The guidelines revolving around mask have continuously changed over the past year and a half as federal and local governments struggle to set mandates.

Yarusevych and team said that many people wear masks that don’t fit their faces properly, unlike the N95, which straps itself tightly around the wearer.

This causes aerosol droplets to escape through multiple openings between a person’s face and the cloth mask, which could spread COVID-19 in populous areas.

The N95 was conversely able to filter over 50% of aerosol droplets while the other half is dispersed above the wearer’s head.

‘A lot of this may seem like common sense,’ Yarusevych comments. ‘There is a reason, for instance, that medical practitioners wear N95 masks – they work much better. The novelty here is that we have provided solid numbers and rigorous analysis to support that assumption.’

Yarusevych team added that ventilation tests revealed even modest ventilation rates provide about the same level of protection as the highest quality masks.

Earlier this month, President Joe Biden’s former COVID-19 advisor and top epidemiologist warned Americans ‘that many of the face cloth coverings that people wear are not very effective’.

Michael Osterholm spoke with CNN saying that people need to start wearing N95 respirators which are more effective against COVID-19.

Michael Osterholm explained that he dislikes the term masking as it suggest that any face covering will protect from the spread of Covid-19 which is not accurate

‘We’re in a very unfortunate situation, we’ve really brought this country to a point of confusion which really misses the main point that we should be focusing on vaccine, vaccine, vaccine,’ said Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

He explained his contention with the term ‘masking’ saying, ‘You know I wish we could get rid of the term masking because in fact it implies that anything you put in front of your face works and if I could just add an nuance to that which hopefully doesn’t add more confusion is we know today that many of the face cloth coverings that people wear are not very effective in reducing any of the virus movement in or out.’

The CDC has been criticized for its confusing stance on masks after it reversed its mask guidelines. But cities and states say they need to see the evidence before revising their own policies.

Federal officials say unpublished data showed vaccinated people infected with COVID-19 may be able to transmit the virus, leading them to recommend that everyone should wear a mask indoors in areas of high transmission.

Texas and Florida have championed mandates banning mask requirements in the classroom, but on Friday, the Supreme Court of Texas rejected Governor Greg Abbott’s latest bid to scrap mask mandates.

Abbott, who tested positive for the virus on Tuesday, is leading the anti-mask charge along with his Republican colleague, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

School boards and local officials are wary of rapidly increasing COVID infections in Texas as the delta variant plagues the nations, arguing that masks are needed for children too young to take the vaccine.

It comes despite the virus posing almost zero risk to kids, as well as evidence which shows that masks inhibit learning in children and cause psychological harms.

Texas has confirmed nearly 19,000 new cases as of Saturday with 190 new deaths, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Florida reported more than 150,000 new cases for the week and nearly 1,500 new deaths.

“YOUR PAPERS PLEASE” Is Only the Beginning

/in , , , , , , /by

“I’m well aware of the global crimes against humanity being perpetrated against a large proportion of the world’s population…. I have absolutely no doubt that we are in the presence of evil…and dangerous products [the gene-based vaccines].” – Dr. Michael Yeadon, Pfizer’s former Vice President and Chief Science Officer

“Natural immunity is the best of all forms of immunity.” –  Dr. Peter McCullough

“We do know that COVID-recovered patients have a higher side effect rate when they do get needlessly vaccinated.” –  Dr. Peter A. McCullough

“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.” –  Adolf Hitler

“Socialized medicine is the keystone to the arch of a socialized state.” –  Vladimir Lenin

In a recent article, I linked to the video, “Stop the Shot…The Rest of the Story,” which  featured top physicians, scientists and attorneys.  At the close of the program, Dr. Michael Yeadon, former VP and Chief Scientist at Pfizer, voiced salient remarks we all need to act upon to save ourselves and our nation.

He tells us not to be frightened of the virus because we have excellent safe and inexpensive treatments.  The risk is exaggerated.  Stop being scared.  The lockdowns, masks, business closers and forced vaccines are not sensible.

There is no sense in what our government is doing, but it is frightening.  As attorneys Tom Renz and Reiner Fuellmich said, “You’ve got to object.”  Yeadon tells us we’re in WWIII and there are no allies.  Dr. Simone Gold, head of America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS.org) says, “You out there are the cavalry, we have to rescue ourselves.”

Yeadon tells us that he read a paper by a psychologist that spelled it out for him…we have to share to get the ball rolling, and you don’t need to be a scientist or give an essay on science, you just need to tell people that things don’t feel right.  Talk to people on the street, your neighbors, your friends.  If you don’t, he says, “Eventually there’ll be a knock on your door and someone will be there saying, ‘You have to be vaccinated.’ And I’m frightened of that.”

Dr. Yeadon is more than right.  I tell this to young people working in the groceries, some look at me like deer caught in the headlights, but others listen and I tell them where to find information.  I sent one clerk to the web for Dr. Ryan Cole’s White Coat Summit 17-minute speech.  We must stop this now!  Speak up and save our country.

Medical Tyranny

Last week Devvy Kidd emailed me that Pfizer’s clot shot will be licensed this week and that means the demand will rise for vaccination to enter stores, go to work, see a movie, have a surgery, or attend a wedding or funeral.  The first thing I heard Monday morning was that the FDA had licensed the Pfizer jab.  This is the end of all medical freedom. “Your papers please,” is only the beginning.  As for the Food and Drug Administration, Devvy’s comments were spot on when she said, “If anyone had any doubts about the FDA being owned by big pharma, this should hammer it home.”

Wayne Allen Root writes, “We have suicide bombers in the White House. We have suicide bombers in our governor’s mansions. Worst of all, we have suicide bombers directing the U.S. economy. Call this suicide by Democrats.”

He’s right, we are headed for disaster, far worse than the Hindenburg and Titanic.  New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco are all demanding “Your papers please,” to go into any restaurant, bar, nightclub, gym, even retail stores.  I would assume that means groceries as well.  They’ll starve the people who want nothing to do with their medical nihilism.  What’s next?  A patch on clothing that says “unvaxed?”

And yes Wayne, the Democrats are asking for an economic disaster because 50% of Americans refuse the vax. They will stop attending functions, eating out, and spending their money where it counts.  They’re not just morons, they’re Red Fascists.

Leo Hohman’s latest article spells it out.  The Department of Homeland Security has issued a terror alert equating Americans who oppose government COVID restrictions with 9/11 terrorists.

“DHS will continue to identify and evaluate calls for violence, including online activity associated with the spread of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and false narratives, by known or suspected threat actors and provide updated information, as necessary.”

In a help-wanted ad posted to the National Guard’s website it is looking for men and women between the ages of 17 and 35 and in good physical shape to serve in its military police units as internment and resettlement specialists.

The E31 classification jobs will involve working in “Search/Restraint.”

Wake up America!

Following Orders

“I was just following orders” didn’t work for most of the Nazis on trial in Nuremberg, Germany.  Today, America’s medical hierarchy has bypassed the Nuremberg Code of Ethics and all 10 tenets of the Medical Ethics Code as a guide for permitted medical experiments.  America’s fascist propaganda forces millions of citizens to allow the clot shot to be administered in their left arm…close to their hearts.

Most doctors blindly support the recommendations of the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Doctors are trained in administering vaccines, not in how they are made. There are some doctors who choose to do the research themselves in order to develop an informed opinion on the subject. These doctors who become knowledgeable about vaccines usually become anti-vaccine. A little knowledge goes a long way.

Without a doubt we live in the age of autism, but it is also the age of chronic illness. One in eighty-eight children are diagnosed with autism, while half of all children now struggle with chronic illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, ADHD, etc. The rise in illness correlates with the dramatic increase in vaccines given to newborns and youngsters along with a growing exposure to other toxic chemicals. Learning disabilities are almost all related to a lack of phonics in first and second grade.

God Given Immunity

Dr. Rich Swier wrote a great article entitled, Fact Checking the CDC, a portion of which follows:

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) website on Covid states: Will COVID-19 vaccines provide long-term protection?  Because COVID vaccines have only been developed in the past months, it’s too early to know the duration of protection of COVID-19 vaccines. Research is ongoing to answer this question. However, it’s encouraging that available data suggest that most people who recover from COVID-19 develop an immune response that provides at least some period of protection against reinfection – although we’re still learning how strong this protection is, and how long it lasts.

Even WHO doesn’t know if the SARS-COV2 vaccine is effective! 

And why should they?  The “warp speed” development of these jabs guaranteed failure when normal vaccines take years and are thoroughly assessed for safety.  Every mRNA test animal survived until they were again exposed to the virus…then they died of cardiac failure and sepsis.

It wasn’t long ago that WHO admitted COVID is no more dangerous than the common flu.  Biden has stated that the longevity of the first two C-19 jabs failed, so it’s booster time! Big Pharma’s scientists worry this will frighten people away from more COVID jabs. Let’s hope so.

According to a recent article by Stephen Frank, the success rate of the inoculation for just a few months is below 40% and some as low as 11%, but death and side effects certainly aren’t low.  So, guess what?!  The Department of Health and Human Services, in a joint statement with medical and public health experts stated, “For that reason, we conclude that a booster shot will be needed to maximize vaccine-induced protection and prolong its durability.”  My guess is that the inoculated are not dying quickly enough for them, so let’s fill their bodies with more of the spike protein.

Read the entire article, it’s shocking.  Frank tells us that the feds announced that nursing homes must require employees to be vaccinated or they will face losing Medicare and Medicaid funds. And Big Pharma isn’t spending a dime on marketing. Our government, the mainstream media comrades and non-profits are mandating you receive this jab, known to be a failure that has caused thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of adverse effects.  But the first booster won’t be enough, a fourth is probably on the way and more.

WHO’s statements regarding natural God-given immunity of recovered C-19 patients were despicable. Is the WHO lying about how long the immunity lasts when you’ve had this virus and recovered?  How long does your immunity last from viruses like measles, mumps, chicken pox, or various influenzas? You are immune for life. That’s the way God made the human body. If C-19 is just another flu, then why wouldn’t we have antibodies for life?  The chicken pox, measles and mumps vaccines are good for life…of course, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis are required every ten years. Is this continuing propaganda to force the jab?  Dr. Ryan Cole said you are in very big trouble if you had C-19, recovered, and then still took the jab.

Developing immunity is part of God’s plan for His children.  Children should be outside playing, getting dirty, being exposed to all kinds of outside bugs in the air, in the dirt, and from other children. Their immune systems are strengthened by being exposed. Too many of today’s mothers are keeping their children so restricted that they end up being allergic to everything, having asthma, chronic colds, etc. Play outside, build the immunity! The bodies our Creator gave us are utterly amazing.

Why Natural Immunity Is Superior

Speaking with journalist Daniel Horowitz, pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole explained that natural immunity produces broad immunity that can’t be matched by vaccination. Link

“A natural infection induces hundreds upon hundreds of antibodies against all proteins of the virus, including the envelope, the membrane, the nucleocapsid, and the spike. Dozens upon dozens of these antibodies neutralize the virus when encountered again.

“Additionally, because of the immune system exposure to these numerous proteins (epitomes), our T cells mount a robust memory, as well. Our T cells are the ‘marines’ of the immune system and the first line of defense against pathogens. T cell memory to those infected with SARS-CoV-1 is at 17 years and running still.”

In 2020 it was reported that people who had recovered from SARS-CoV, a virus that is genetically closely related to SARS-CoV-2 and belongs to the same viral species, maintained significant levels of neutralizing antibodies at least 17 years after initial infection. This also suggests that long-term natural immunity against SARS-CoV-2 should be expected.

“With vaccination, however, Israeli data suggest that those who were vaccinated early on, in January 2021, are becoming susceptible to the virus, suggesting its efficacy may wane after about six months. Time for boosters!

“This sentiment was echoed by Pfizer’s head of medical research and development, Mikael Dolsten, who said ‘after six months, there may be risk of infection with the expected decline of antibodies.’ Pfizer is seeking emergency use authorization for a third booster dose of its COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S.”

According to Dr. Cole, part of the reason for waning vaccine-induced immunity is because “we mount an antibody response to only the spike and its constituent proteins” and “as the virus preferentially mutates at the spike, these proteins are shaped differently and antibodies can no longer ‘lock and key’ bind to these new shapes.”

COVID Immunity Lasts a Lifetime

It was initially suggested that natural COVID-19 immunity may be short-lived. This was based on early data on SARS-CoV-2, which found that antibody titers declined rapidly in the first months after recovery from COVID-19. According to a team of researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine, however, if you’ve had COVID-19, even a mild case, you’re likely to be immune for life, as is the case with recovery from many infectious agents.

According to senior author of the study Ali Ellebedy, PhD., an associate professor of pathology and immunology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, “It’s normal for antibody levels to go down after acute infection, but they don’t go down to zero; they plateau.”

The researchers found a biphasic pattern of antibody concentrations against SARS-CoV-2, in which high antibody concentrations were found in the acute immune response that occurred at the time of initial infection. The antibodies declined in the first months after infection, as should be expected, then leveled off to about 10% to 20% of the maximum concentration detected.

When a new infection occurs, cells called “plasma blasts” provide antibodies, but when the virus is cleared, longer lasting memory B cells move in to monitor blood for signs of reinfection.  Bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) also exist in bones, acting as “persistent and essential sources of protective antibodies.”

Ellebedy even said the protection provided by naturally acquired immunity is likely to continue “indefinitely.”  These [BMPC] cells are not dividing. They are quiescent, just sitting in the bone marrow and secreting antibodies. They have been doing that ever since the infection resolved, and they will continue doing that indefinitely.

In another explanation of why antibody levels drop after initial infection — but it’s not an indication of waning immunity — Dr. Cole told Horowitz:

Yes, our antibody levels drop over time, however, scientifically, the memory B cells that make antibodies have been proven to be present in our lymph nodes and bone marrow. They are primed and ready to produce a broad array of antibodies upon viral pre-exposure.

It would be physiologically, energetically impossible to maintain high antibody levels to all the pathogens we are constantly exposed to, and we would look like the ‘swollen Stay-Puff marshmallow man’ of lymph nodes, constantly, if the immune system were required to do that.

Nevertheless, mild COVID-19 induces lasting antibody protection.

Dr. Joseph Mercola concurs and stated, “Once you’ve had COVID, you’re likely protected for life.”

Natural Infection Will Burn Out All Variants

Mainstream media comrades, academia and Big Pharma are refusing to answer questions about natural immunity.  They’re disregarding recovery from C-19 completely.  They’re debunking studies, and torturing numbers to make it seem that immunity in recovered patients won’t last long.  As we’ve seen, this is patently untrue and is part of the mRNA propaganda.

If you choose to get a COVID-19 vaccine, you’re participating in an unprecedented experiment with an unapproved gene therapy, of which the benefits may not outweigh the risks, especially if you’ve already had COVID-19 and are already likely immune. As noted by Horowitz, “Natural infection is the only phenomena that will ultimately burn out all variants, and the entire focus should be on getting seniors and other vulnerable people early treatment the minute they feel symptoms and even a prophylactic regimen of ivermectin when appropriate.”

Lawsuits

After filing a lawsuit arguing he obtained “natural immunity” from COVID-19 after being infected with the novel coronavirus, George Mason University granted a professor a medical exemption from its COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Lawyers for Todd Zywicki, a law professor at the Fairfax, Virginia university, announced the agreement.  Zywicki filed affidavits from his doctor stating he has natural immunity from the virus after having fully recovered from COVID-19. And the lawsuit argued there is substantial scientific evidence indicating natural immunity from the virus is stronger than immunity through various vaccines.

Zywicki’s case is a rarity, but should be the most common.

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by 117 employees at Houston Methodist Hospital who were suing the hospital system over its COVID-19 vaccine requirement. A nursing shortage is planned, they went through treating COVID patients without a vax, and many of them contracted the virus, which is flu type A and/or B, but now a vax is required, so 150 of them either quit or were fired.  Walk outs need to happen.

The judge also denounced the plaintiffs for equating the vaccine mandate to forced experimentation by the Nazis against Jewish people during the Holocaust. “Equating the injection requirement to medical experimentation in concentration camps is reprehensible,” Hughes said. “Nazi doctors conducted medical experiments on victims that caused pain, mutilation, permanent disability, and in many cases, death.”

Sadly, the judge is either part of the depopulation eugenics state or he’s a moron who hasn’t looked at the Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System.

Deaths and injuries are massive with these inoculations.  Perhaps they should have shown the judge some of the actual side effects of this “experimental” and deadly jab.

Epidermal necrosis resulted after this woman took the jabs.  The photo results are devastating.  Or how about the woman who lost both legs and hands after her second mRNA Pfizer shot…a jab just made legal by the corrupt FDA?

Over 500,000 cases of unbearable side effects from these clot shots are on record, and VAERS is even deleting them.  Deaths from the jabs are rarely reported, but are massive.  Depopulation of the masses by the totalitarian dictators in control of our local, state and federal governments continues with the new false “fear” of variants.

Narrow Immunity with Clot Shot

Meanwhile, Dr. Peter McCullough pointed out that by getting vaccinated, you’re setting yourself up for a very narrow immunity, much unlike the broad naturally acquired immunity that could be easily overwhelmed by a more virulent virus. He stated the following in his interview with Daniel Horowitz:

What I know based on the literature right now is there could be a risk given the narrow spectrum of immunologic coverage … There could be such a narrow immunity that more virulent strain could overwhelm it …

The most recent variant is the Delta variant. That’s the weakest of all the variants and the most easily treatable. But if someone, let’s say a nefarious entity created a more virulent virus, it could easily be designed to scoot past a very narrow immunity that hundreds of millions, if not billions of people, will be keyed to with narrow immunity.

Even President Trump said, “The percentage of Americans with natural immunity from getting COVID-19 is a very powerful vaccine in itself.”  So why is he pushing this experimental mRNA vax?  And if he actually took the jab after recovering from COVID, he may not be with us that much longer.

Conclusion

When physicians like Dr. Ryan Cole and Dr. Peter McCullough tell you that your life is shortened if you’ve taken the COVID jab after having recovered from the C-19 flu, you know the powers-that-be are denying the magnificent immunity God gave our bodies.

Vaccine mandates for a flu virus that 99.75% of the infected recover from is nothing more than authoritarian control.  “Your papers please,” is gaining popularity with the totalitarians…and this is only the beginning.

Another Holocaust has just begun, either stand and fight or live on your knees.

Biden Clueless On Much More Than Afghanistan

/in , , , , , /by

The horrible tragedy in Afghanistan revealed a Biden Administration divorced from reality.

President Biden and his people not only failed to validly assess the ramifications of their actions, they froze like deer in headlights and proved unable to adapt and respond as new information became available.

Afghanistan turned the Biden team into a bunch of fact-challenged “Baghdad Bobs.”

As the Taliban took control of town after town and were approaching Kabul, State Department spokesman Ned Price could not process what was happening.  On Friday (the thirteenth) he told NPR “The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces have 300,000 fighters at their disposal, 300,000… In fact, President Biden’s budget request for the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces going forward has $3.3 billion of support… If you look at it on paper, they once again have over 300,000 troops. They have an air force. They have special forces. They have heavy equipment. The Taliban has almost none of this. The Taliban is a force of some 70,000 to 80,000, less than a third of the size of what the Afghan government can muster.”

Three days later President Ashraf Ghani  had fled and the Taliban controlled Kabul.

Ned Price spent the last few years as Director of Policy and Communications at National Security Action, a left-wing think tank focused “on advancing American global leadership and opposing the reckless policies of the Trump Administration.”  Price was one of President Biden’s earliest appointments.  The Biden Administration is filled with feckless bureaucrats like Price.

The Biden Administration did not understand Afghanistan.  They failed to formulate a valid plan for withdrawal, but worse, once proven wrong, they were unable to reassess and respond.  “On paper” Kabul remained secure.

We can learn a great deal from Biden’s Afghanistan debacle.

The Biden Administration smugly lectures us on scores of topics as if they possess great insight to which we all must yield.

They are almost always WRONG.  Unfortunately, unlike Afghanistan, it usually takes far longer to learn just how wrong they are.

Climate change is “an existential threat” Biden tells us with a wag of his finger.  The science is settled and not to be discussed.  Maybe on paper or computer models, Mister President, reality however, continues to reveal the models to be too hot, and the weather to be natural.

We must all switch to electric vehicles President Biden tells us, “there is no turning back.”

It is the Biden Administration’s climate policies that are actually making America less secure. Last week Biden had the audacity to call on OPEC to pump more oil, while he does everything to strangle American-made energy production to make us more dependent on nations who hate us.

As Biden forces us to adopt more inefficient, intermittent solar and wind and short-range electric vehicles, it also forces greater reliance on China. China has a near-monopoly on the rare Earth minerals necessary to make renewables and EVs. With China embracing Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, expect the Chinese government move quickly to exploit Afghanistan’s vast resources including lithium and oil.

Here’s a frightening reality.  Biden’s military and foreign policy bureaucracy that failed so dramatically, is MORE ABLE than the people running his energy, environment, economic, immigration, criminal justice and the rest of American policy.

Americans must wake up to the reality that left-wing policies do not work across the board.

Wrecking our electric grid is a terrible mistake.  So are the higher taxes, new entitlements and waste in Biden’s $3.5 trillion spendapalooza bill.

Biden’s bureaucrats and left-wing zealots are dead wrong across the board and must be stopped before they do further damage.

How to respond to an employer who is requiring employees to take the vaccine.

“I write with regard to the matter of potential covid vaccine and my desire to be fully informed and appraised of ALL facts before going ahead. I’d be most grateful if you could please provide the following information, in accordance with statutory legal requirements:

  • Can you please advise me of the approved legal status of any vaccine and if it is experimental?
  • Can you please provide details and assurances that the vaccine has been fully, independently and rigorously tested against control groups and the subsequent outcomes of those tests?
  • Can you please advise of the full list of contents of the vaccine I am to receive and if any are toxic to the body?
  • Can you please fully advise of all the adverse reactions associated with this vaccine since it’s introduction?
  • Can you please confirm that the vaccine you are advocating is NOT ‘experimental mRNA gene altering therapy’?
  • Can you please confirm that I will not be under any duress from yourselves as my employers, in compliance with the Nuremberg Code?
  • Can you please advise me of the likely risk of fatality, should I be unfortunate to contract Covid 19 and the likelihood of recovery?

Once I have received the above information in full and I am satisfied that there is NO threat to my health, I will be happy to accept your offer to receive the treatment, but with certain conditions – namely that:

  • You confirm that I will suffer no harm.
  • Following acceptance of this, the offer must be signed by a fully qualified doctor who will take full legal and financial responsibility for any injuries occurring to myself, and/or from any interactions by authorized personnel regarding these procedures.
  • In the event that I should have to decline the offer of vaccination, please confirm that it will not compromise my position and that I will not suffer prejudice and discrimination as a result?

I would also advise that my inalienable rights are reserved.”

YOU HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO DECLINE ANY MEDICAL PROCEDURE.

The Religious Exemption

Complete list of religious exemptions with downloadable letters here: https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/religious/

Example:

Personal Religious Exemption to Vaccine Based on the New Testament

I hereby assert my right to a religious exemption from vaccination. I am a Christian who believes in the Bible, including the teachings in the New Testament.

I am objecting to Covid-19 vaccines because I believe in and follow God and the principles laid out in His Words and I have a deeply held belief that vaccines violate them.

I sincerely believe that all human beings are image bearers of God, and this concept affirms the unique value of all human life. Mindful of the Sixth Commandment “You shall not murder” (Ex. 20:13), I believe that abortion is gravely wrong at every stage. Furthermore, I believe a physical body is given to each of us by our loving Heavenly Father. He created it as a tabernacle for our spirit to assist each of us in our quest to fulfill the full measure of our creation. Specifically, the New Testament teaches that: “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?” (1 Corinthians 3:16) “If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple” (1 Corinthians 3:17).

The Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in early development of mRNA vaccine technology used fetal cells for “proof of concept” (to demonstrate how a cell could take up mRNA and produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein) or to characterize the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The non-replicating viral vector vaccine produced by Johnson & Johnson required the use of fetal cell cultures, specifically PER.CG, in order to produce and manufacture the vaccine.

This mechanism for altering my God given body is the equivalent of a prohibited “unclean food” that causes harm to my conscience. Covid-19 vaccines to me are unclean. I believe in and follow God and the principles laid out in His Words and I have a deeply held belief that these vaccines violate them.

I make this request for the glory of God and consistent with my faith.

Vaccine Nationalism Threatens Global Coverage

/in , , , , , /by

Rich nations will not be safe unless poorer nations are also vaccinated.

Decades of scientific and technological development have shown that the international community can set aside political and strategic differences to collaborate for greater public good. As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc across the world, vaccine diplomacy is once again playing an increasingly important role in breaking the chain of disease transmission and reducing hospitalization and deaths.

According to a Bloomberg report, over 4.82 billion doses of the vaccine have been administered across 183 countries, with an average of 37.5 million doses being administered each day. This makes inoculation against Covid-19 the biggest vaccination campaign ever. But global immunization against is being stifled by technical bottlenecks, vaccine supply for self-interest and a narrow sense of vaccine nationalism.

Vaccine nationalism

Vaccine diplomacy lies at the intersection of national self-interest and global good. Being able to tap into the goodwill of advanced and wealthy nations is therefore a big challenge.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States collaborated with medical researchers and scientists around the world to develop and distribute vaccines to countries where they were needed the most. But unlike the collaborative efforts seen during the Cold War, such as for smallpox and polio vaccinations, the fight against Covid-19 in a multi-polar world setting presents new challenges.

Medical research today is far advanced and widely available. Despite the fact that vaccine research involves global collaboration among scientists, politicians and hyper-nationalists are building a jingoistic narrative around its development, particularly in countries like Russia, China and India. Russia is seeking to regain the lost glory of the former Soviet Union and new powers like China and India are trying to exert their soft-power.

Thus vaccine diplomacy has become a tool for serving the self-interest of nations, to secure strategic goals and ensure one-upmanship. As the United States sought to stockpile vaccine doses for its own population, Russia and China carried out bilateral negotiations with countries to promote and distribute their own vaccines. Meanwhile, India’s experience with vaccine diplomacy showed that domestic pressure can quickly overturn global commitments. India was caught in a bind when it embarked upon competitive vaccine diplomacy and then was forced to suspend supply when it was hit by a deadly second wave.

Multilateral framework for vaccine diplomacy

Since the start of Covid-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been caught in a whirlwind of controversy. It was blamed for ignoring early signs of a pandemic, for failing to “exercise global health leadership” and for becoming “a tool of Chinese politics, power, and propaganda.” It has also faced the anger, particularly of Western governments, for not offering timely warnings, issuing misleading guidelines and making contradictory statements.

However, WHO’s initiatives have also helped create a global framework for scientific collaboration and equitable distribution of vaccines on a global scale. COVAX (or the Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access) is a worldwide humanitarian initiative to ensure equitable access to vaccines. The platform created by WHO along with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and CEPI (the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) supports research, development and manufacturing of a wide range of Covid-19 vaccine candidates and negotiates pricing. Committed to providing participating countries equal access to these vaccines, COVAX initially aimed to have 2 billion doses available by the end of 2021, enough to protect high risk and vulnerable people around the world.

However, COVAX has been hit by scepticism and obstacles. Several of the world’s wealthiest nations, including the US, directly negotiated deals with vaccine manufactures, securing ample doses for their population and not leaving much for others. Following President Trump’s decision to leave the WHO, the US said it did not intend to join the COVAX platform, although President Joe Biden reversed the decision. Initially, China and Russia also expressed their lack of interest and preferred bilateral negotiations for the supply of vaccines to other countries.

Europe took the lead in stepping up the global response to the pandemic. The European Union (EU) joined COVAX, contributing 400 million euros and helping to bring together 40 nations and raise 16 billion euros to finance research on tests, treatments and vaccines. However, several European countries, including France and Germany, although officially part of the global collaboration, entered into direct deals with vaccine companies to secure vaccines for their own citizens.

Having to contend with severe challenges including supply bottlenecks and vaccine nationalism, a recent report says that COVAX has been able to deliver 175 million vaccine doses to nearly 140 countries. But it has fallen way short of the 600 million doses initially forecast to be delivered by the end of July. These delays in vaccine supply under the COVAX platform drove even poorer nations to negotiate directly with vaccine manufacturing countries and pharmaceutical companies. Manufacturers in Russia, China and India have carried out bilateral negotiations with several of these countries seeking emergency use licenses, often side-stepping stringent regulatory mechanisms set in place by WHO. Most of these countries lack a robust framework for pharmaco-vigilance surveillance mechanism. Soon enough, allegations of corruption, and questions on quality and issues of efficacy were raised.

Russia and China

Faced with a severe shortage of vaccines and the failure of Western manufacturers to deliver doses on time, countries in Europe have also turned to Russia and China to augment their supplies. Following the failure of its own vaccine roll-out strategy, the European Council President remarked that member nations should not let themselves be misled by China and Russia as both regimes have “less desirable values” as “they organize highly limited but widely publicized operations to supply vaccines to others.”

The growing global acceptance of their vaccines and charitable supplies have enabled Russia and China to boost their soft-power and nudge international criticism for repressions and human rights violations back home. It has also enabled them to build a narrative about the superiority of their medical research and health infrastructure compared to the West.

Although European reliance on Russian and Chinese vaccines is due to the supply constrains they are facing at the hands of Western manufactures, it is not the same for several low-income and low-resource countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Their dependence on Russian and Chinese goodwill will have long-term geostrategic implications, enabling them to influence diplomatic relations and use soft power to serve their domestic interests.

Innovative yet lopsided

According to data collated by Bloomberg, enough doses have been administered to fully vaccinate 31.4 percent of the global population. However countries around the world have had unequal access to the vaccine. With a billion in Sub-Saharan Africans, 650 million in Latin America and several hundred million in poorer nations of Asia, estimates are that 4 to 5 billion doses of vaccines will be required to vaccinate a sizable population to block the continuing spread of Covid-19.  Yet the reality is that there is not enough supply of vaccines available. Further, delivering billions of doses across the world is a gigantic logistical challenge.

With countries having the highest income vaccinating 20 times faster than those with the lowest, many of the poor nations might have to wait as long as 2023 or even 2024 for an adequate supply of vaccine dozes to meet their population demands, says a report from the Duke University Global Health Initiative.

Needed: a commitment to global public partnership

Global public health partnerships backed by governments, multilateral organizations along with private enterprise and NGOs have demonstrated time and again a commitment to develop a collaborative approach to eradicate deadly diseases.

On the one hand, the Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated what technological progress and international action can achieve. On the other hand, it has exposed the fragility of global diplomacy and humanitarian cooperation. Countries are sharing their vaccines with other nations, spurred not by humanitarian motives but diplomatic goals.

The shortage of vaccines is not primarily a procurement problem, but a production one — not whether poor nations can afford to buy them, but whether they can be allowed to manufacture them.

There is a growing demand for a temporary waiver on intellectual property (IP) protection on coronavirus vaccines. Initiated by India and South Africa, the campaign is now backed by more than 100 countries, along with international organizations including the WHO and UNAIDS. The goal is to reduce barriers to enable countries to produce their own vaccines — particularly for the lowest-income nations. Earlier in May, the campaign got a boost when the US, Russia and China came out in support of waiver. However, pharmaceutical companies and most high-income nations, notably Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and European Union member-states are still opposed to the initiative.

Maintaining social distance and wearing a mask to protect ourselves from infections is something that we will worry about only if we have the luxury to do so. With more waves predicted, new mutations expected, and the growing risk of breakthrough infections, what this pandemic has taught us is that protecting others, is the best protection we have.

What Is the True Vaccine Breakthrough Rate? The CDC Doesn’t Want You to Know

/in , , , , /by

By refusing to track most vaccine breakthrough cases, the CDC arrived at the strange conclusion that collecting and providing less public health information is in the public’s interest.

Over a recent 12-day period the Milwaukee Brewers had nine players test positive for COVID-19.

While we don’t know the vaccination status of all the players, the team disclosed that most of the players were vaccinated for COVID-19, including former MVP Christian Yelich, who tested positive after experiencing mild flu-like symptoms.

“He did the right thing and reported those mild symptoms,” Brewers GM David Stearns said when it was announced Yelich was heading to the disabled list. “We got him a test … .The test returned positive and we got a confirmation test, which also came back positive.”

The Brewers are not an isolated example of Major League Baseball teams experiencing a rash of vaccination breakthroughs. Teams across the league have experienced similar problems, including the New York Yankees, who saw nine vaccinated players sidelined in May with COVID-19.

“This is the vaccine working,” CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos at the time, adding that those who tested positive didn’t get a severe infection.

Walensky is correct that data show vaccinated individuals are far less likely to die or become hospitalized with COVID-19 than unvaccinated individuals.

Yet breakthrough cases also appear to be more common than the CDC, media, and public health officials suggest.

CNN says the breakthrough rate is less than one percent, while CBS News reports that 99.7 percent of new COVID cases involve unvaccinated people. The Hill, meanwhile, agrees that CDC data show less than one percent of fully vaccinated people get COVID.

How does this data mesh with anecdotal evidence that suggests many vaccinated people are contracting COVID? To be sure, it’s not just Major League Baseball teams who are seeing spikes of COVID cases among vaccinated individuals.

A recent outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts, for example found that the vast majority of COVID cases involved vaccinated individuals.

“Overwhelmingly, the affected individuals have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19,” Town Manager Alex Morse told NBC.

The outbreak, attributed to the rise of the Delta variant, was serious enough to prompt the CDC—which published a report on the outbreak—to reverse its recommendation that vaccinated individuals needn’t wear masks indoors.

But that wasn’t all. The CDC’s study also found, the Washington Post noted, individuals “carried as much virus in their noses as unvaccinated individuals.”

“High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus,” Walensky said.

All of this data suggests two important things.

First, COVID cases among vaccinated individuals appear to be higher than the “less than 1 percent” many claim. Two, vaccinated individuals appear quite capable of transmitting the virus to others, as Walensky states. Indeed, viral loads in nasal passages suggest they could transmit the virus at rates similar to unvaccinated carriers.

In the world today, we often hear that data is king. The problem is, the data have been a total mess throughout the pandemic. COVID, the New York Times recently observed, has shown the CDC is utterly broken.

Perhaps because of this, I decided to see how the CDC tracks and defines breakthrough cases.

“As of May 1, 2021, CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported vaccine breakthrough cases to focus on identifying and investigating only hospitalized or fatal cases due to any cause,” a statement says. “This shift will help maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance.”

Does this mean the CDC isn’t tracking breakthrough cases anymore unless someone is hospitalized or dies? I asked the CDC for clarification. I didn’t hear back from them.

But if one goes to the CDC site, you’ll find information on vaccine breakthroughs that includes only hospitalizations and deaths. The figure—as of August 2—stands at 7,525, which is below the 9,245 breakthrough infections the CDC had documented as of April 26. (The CDC noted the true rate was higher, due to a lack of surveillance and testing.) Since then, three and a half months have eclipsed and nearly 70 million more people have been vaccinated—and the Delta variant has arrived in force.

Unfortunately, what the actual breakthrough rate is, nobody knows—because the CDC stopped collecting and publishing the data, choosing instead “to focus on identifying and investigating only hospitalized or fatal cases.”

In making this decision, the CDC arrived at the strange conclusion that public health would be better served by providing the public with less information.

Because of this, the media are left guessing what the breakthrough rate is.

CNN points out that roughly half of US states report data on breakthroughs, and in those states official statistics put the COVID infection rate of vaccinated people at less than 1 percent, “ranging from 0.01% in Connecticut to 0.9% in Oklahoma.”

A highly cited Kaiser report similarly puts the breakthrough rate at “well below” 1 percent.

An NBC News analysis covering 38 states, meanwhile, found 125,682 breakthrough cases, which represents about 0.08 percent of the 164 million vaccinated Americans.

The actual breakthrough rate appears to be much higher than .08 percent based on anecdotal evidence, however, and a more careful perusal of state data.

Let’s start with Major League Baseball. There are about 750 professional ball players on 30 MLB teams. Applying that rate (0.08%) to MLB baseball players would mean we could expect less than one player (0.6) to experience a breakthrough case. A rate of 1 percent would mean 7 or eight players. But as previously mentioned, the New York Yankees alone had nine breakthroughs in May, and many other teams racked up breakthrough cases.

One could argue that perhaps Major League ball players, for some reason we may not yet understand, are more likely to contract the virus after being vaccinated, but plenty of other examples can be found, including the six vaccinated Texas Democrats who tested positive for COVID after taking a charter plane to Washington, DC. Ask yourself this: how many people do you personally know who contracted the virus after being vaccinated? (I know many.)

A thorough review of the evidence strongly suggests breakthrough cases are far likelier than the claims in headlines. A New York Times story published Wednesday exploring the Delta variant—which now accounts for more than half of COVID cases in the US—hinted at this.

The paper noted that the CDC “does not tally national figures on breakthrough infections that don’t result in hospitalization or death,” so the precise incidence “is unknown” even though the CDC says breakthroughs are “extremely rare.”

Seeking comment, the Times received a vague response from Walensky in reply to an email inquiring on breakthrough incidence.

“A modest percentage of people who are fully vaccinated will still get Covid-19 if they are exposed to the virus that causes it,” Dr. Walensky said in reply to a Times email.

But infectious disease experts hinted that breakthrough cases are more likely than the current data suggest. “I think that if we started to test people just randomly on the street, we would find a lot more people who test positive,” Dr. Abraar Karan, an infectious diseases fellow at Stanford, told the newspaper.

On Thursday, New York magazine published an article under the headline “Don’t Panic, But Breakthrough Cases May Be a Bigger Problem Than You’ve Been Told.”

Journalist David Wallace-Wells, who spoke to scientists at Harvard and Scripps’s, said public health officials may be “overstating the vaccine effect on transmission and understating the scale and risk of breakthrough infections.”

“The message that breakthrough cases are exceedingly rare and that you don’t have to worry about them if you’re vaccinated — that this is only an epidemic of the unvaccinated — that message is falling flat,” Harvard epidemiologist Michael Mina told Wallace-Wells.

Eric Topol, an American cardiologist and author, was more blunt, saying he estimated the vaccines’ efficacy against symptomatic transmission had fallen to roughly 60 percent for the Delta variant.

“The breakthrough problem is much more concerning than what our public officials have transmitted,” Topol said.

Wallace-Wells notes it’s impossible to estimate the true breakthrough rate because the CDC stopped tracking and reporting most breakthroughs in May, but the data he assembled paint a much different picture.

“In Delaware, between July 1 and July 22, ‘breakthrough’ cases were 13.8 percent of the total,” he writes. “In Michigan, between June 15 and July 30, the figure was 19.1 percent. In this period, there were 2,369 breakthrough cases and 12,409 in total. In Utah, 8 percent of new cases were breakthroughs in early June, but by late July, as Delta grew, the share grew, too, to 20 percent (even while the total number of cases almost doubled).”

None of this is to say Americans shouldn’t get vaccinated. Evidence suggests it significantly reduces one’s chances of dying of or becoming hospitalized with COVID-19. A New York Times analysis of 40 states found that fully immunized people accounted for less than 6 percent of COVID deaths and less than 5 percent of hospitalizations. (Other data is even more promising, including statistics Dr. Fauci cited in June which claimed 99.2 percent of COVID deaths involved unvaccinated individuals.)

A close loved one of mine was vaccinated this week after I suggested it was a good idea; the same day, I encouraged several other loved ones to get the vaccine. This is not about being “pro-vax” or “anti-vax”; it’s about the CDC not being forthright on vaccine breakthroughs.

Choosing to not count vaccinated people who tested positive for COVID as breakthrough cases is little different than choosing to not count positive COVID cases as actual cases. Imagine how much lower US numbers would be if the CDC stopped tracking cases, and instead only counted deaths and hospitalizations.

The great American writer Mark Twain popularized a well-known saying on stats.

“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics,” Twain said. (Twain and others attributed the quote to British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli, but it’s unclear if Disraeli ever said this.)

We’ve seen throughout the pandemic how authorities have manipulated statistics to serve their own agendas—most notably New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who changed public health reporting to cover up the number of New Yorkers who died in nursing homes because of his policies.

By only tracking breakthrough infections that result in hospitalization and death, the CDC is depriving the public of crucial information on the efficacy of vaccines and fueling the vaccine wars. Increasingly, these wars are a bipartisan chorus of vaccinated voices who paint the unvaccinated as either crazy people—there are no microchips in it, Times columnist Charles Blow recently quipped—or filthy creatures who are prolonging the pandemic because of their selfishness.

“It’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks,” Alabama’s Republican Governor Kay Ivey said in July.

Ivey was echoing sentiments President Joe Biden had expressed days earlier.

“Look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated,” Biden had said while speaking to reporters on the White House lawn.

This chorus has had its desired effect. A recent Axios-Ipsos poll found that 80 percent of Americans blame the unvaccinated for rising cases—even though the US has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world—which has fueled efforts to force Americans to get vaccinated by requiring “vaccine passports” to travel or do business.

Blaming the unvaccinated for the drawn out pandemic may be popular and politically convenient, but as the Times points out, the CDC’s own data suggest that “vaccinated people can carry as much virus in their nose and throat as unvaccinated people.” Moreover, breakthrough transmissions appear to be more common than the CDC has let on—which is undoubtedly why they stopped tracking most breakthrough cases.

The CDC’s effort to hide breakthrough cases not involving death or hospitalization from the public eye might serve its presumed goal—getting more Americans vaccinated—but it undermines the truth and further erodes public trust in government, which is already at historic lows.

The silver lining in the story is that a full analysis of the science of vaccination makes an even stronger case that the decision of whether to vaccinate or not should be made by one person: the individual getting the vaccine.

Vax or Jail? The Dilemma Facing Some Americans

/in , , , , , , , /by

The cases in Ohio are especially troubling because they involve defendants whose bodily autonomy is being violated not only once, but twice by their government.

Brandon Rutherford was recently presented with a dilemma in an Ohio courtroom: get vaccinated or face incarceration.

The 21-year-old was sentenced to two years probation for fentanyl possession by Judge Christopher Wagner of Hamilton County, Ohio on August 4, but his sentence came with a twist: he was ordered to get a COVID vaccine as a condition of his probation.

Should Rutherford fail to comply, he could be sent to jail for up to 18 months.

“I’m just a judge, not a doctor, but I think the vaccine’s a lot safer than fentanyl, which is what you had in your pocket,” Wagner told Rutherford.

Wagner gave Rutherford 60 days to get vaxxed and said, “You’re going to maintain employment. You’re not going to be around a firearm. I’m going to order you, within the next two months, to get a vaccine and show that to the probation office.”

The judge only knew Rutherford’s vaccination status in the first place because he questioned him when he arrived in court wearing a mask—a rule Wagner put in place for any unvaccinated people in his courtroom.

Rutherford was outraged by the mandate.

“Because I don’t take a shot they can send me to jail? I don’t agree with that,” he said. “I’m just trying to do what I can to get off this as quickly as possible, like finding a job and everything else. But that little thing (COVID vaccine) can set me back.”

The judge’s order created a stir, prompting Wagner to issue a response.

“Judges make decisions regularly regarding a defendant’s physical and mental health, such as ordering drug, alcohol, and mental health treatment,” he wrote in a statement. He also said it was his responsibility to “rehabilitate the defendant and protect the community.”

Wagner is not the only Ohio judge to take such actions. He joined judges in Franklin and Cuyahoga counties who made similar demands.

As Rutherford’s case vividly demonstrates, in the wake of COVID-19, the world is grappling with the question of how much control an individual should have over their own body.

Bodily integrity, also commonly referred to as bodily autonomy, is a longstanding principle of human rights and individual liberty. In recent years, discussion on this topic has centered around the #MeToo movement regarding sexual harassment and abuse in many of our institutions. It is obvious that violating another person’s body is inherently wrong; no one questions this premise when discussing matters of sexual violence.

Yet, for too many those clear-cut lines become blurred with other issues, especially when the conversation turns to medical bodily autonomy. And history shows there is a long, troubling tradition in the US of violating the bodily integrity of Americans, particularly the marginalized and disadvantaged.

As an example, a Tennessee judge and sheriff launched a forced-sterilization program for inmates around 2017. They allowed people in jail to shorten their sentences by 30 days if they agreed to the medical procedures. They were, thankfully, sued over this and the program was overturned on constitutional grounds. The attorney who obtained justice in this case, Daniel Horwitz, said at the time, “Inmate sterilization is despicable, it is morally indefensible, and it is illegal.”

Forced sterilization among inmates isn’t the only medical crime against bodily autonomy in our past either. In 1932, the Tuskegee Experiment was launched and ran for decades. The United States Public Health Service and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted the study, during which they lied to the 600 black male participants about their syphilis status and told them they were receiving free healthcare. In reality, they were given placebos, ineffective treatments, and denied penicillin—even as it became widely available as a treatment for syphilis. The particular case elevated the issue of informed consent in medical procedures and highlighted how far the country still had to go in respecting inalienable rights, including “The right of the people to be secure in their persons,” as articulated in the US Constitution.

Globally, human rights advocates have fought a long and uphill battle to assert these basic principles of bodily autonomy and informed consent in society.

In 1948, the United Nations passed its Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 3 of this Declaration states, “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.”

The timing of this Declaration is key as it came at the heels of World War II, a period during which arguably the greatest violations of human rights in modern history were committed, including forced scientific and medical experimentation on human beings on a mass scale. The subsequent Nuremberg Trials—held between 1945 and 1949—resulted in the Nuremberg Code of 1947, a set of 10 standards that confronted questions of medical experimentation on humans. The Nuremberg Code established a new global standard for ethical medical behavior. Within its requirements? Voluntary informed consent of the human subject.

Then, in 1966, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights declared in its Article 7: “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. In particular, no one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation.”

Forced medical procedures are an especially monstrous violation of the fundamental right of bodily integrity and autonomy. This lesson was hard-learned through the course of the 20th Century. But it seems to have been unlearned amid the panic over COVID-19.

The cases in Ohio are especially troubling because they involve defendants whose bodily autonomy is being violated not only once, but twice by their government.

Our justice system routinely puts bodies in cages over what the owners of those bodies choose to put in them—whether an actual crime results from that consumption or not. That’s thanks in large part to the immoral and unjust War on Drugs, as well as the wide range of non-violent offenses we currently criminalize in our country. Now, on top of arresting the defendants for choosing to put a substance in their bodies, we have judges threatening further incarceration to coerce those same people into putting a different substance in their bodies.

In both instances, this is an egregious violation of an individual’s bodily autonomy. But many progressives who regularly express outrage over mass incarceration and the War on Drugs are noticeably either silent on vaccine mandates or advocating for them.

The economist Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) had a lot to say about governments interfering in what individuals choose to consume. In his book Human Action he wrote the following:

“Opium and morphine are certainly dangerous, habit-forming drugs. But once the principle is admitted that it is the duty of government to protect the individual against his own foolishness, no serious objections can be advanced against further encroachments.”

This is applicable to the War on Drugs, which was gaining steam around the time of Mises’ death, but it is also relevant to the current pandemic policy. Whether or not it is prudent for a person to get vaccinated for their own health is not the correct question. It is not the government’s duty to protect individuals against their own folly. Mises went on to write:

“A good case could be made out in favor of the prohibition of alcohol and nicotine. And why limit the government’s benevolent providence to the protection of the individual’s body only? Is not the harm a man can inflict on his mind and soul even more disastrous than any bodily evils? Why not prevent him from reading bad books and seeing bad plays, from looking at bad paintings and statues and from hearing bad music? The mischief done by bad ideologies, surely, is much more pernicious, both for the individual and for the whole society, than that done by narcotic drugs.”

Why indeed.

As is the case most of the time, when liberty advocates object to a public policy that big-government advocates believe to be “common sense,” we are not doing so simply over the immediate implications but rather because we know where such policies can lead. If the government can force me to get a vaccine for my own good, what else can it force me to do? The proverbial can of worms is open, the legal precedent set, and any student of history knows it only goes downhill from there. Mises continued:

“These fears are not merely imaginary specters terrifying secluded doctrinaires. It is a fact that no paternal government, whether ancient or modern, ever shrank from regimenting its subjects’ minds, beliefs, and opinions. If one abolishes man’s freedom to determine his own consumption, one takes all freedoms away. The naïve advocates of government interference with consumption delude themselves when they neglect what they disdainfully call the philosophical aspect of the problem. They unwittingly support the case of censorship, inquisition, religious intolerance, and the persecution of dissenters.”

Strong words, but earned ones. And highly relevant today, as governments are rapidly progressing from “we must mandate public health measures” to “we must censor and persecute those who defy and speak out against our public health measures.”

Those who advocate for the government’s ability to deprive humans of their freedom on the basis of consumption in effect promote a wide array of injustices and human rights violations. There is simply no gray area here.

Human Action wasn’t the only place Mises appears to be writing from the grave for our modern times. In his work, Liberalism he says the following:

“We see that as soon as we surrender the principle that the state should not interfere in any questions touching on the individual’s mode of life, we end by regulating and restricting the latter down to the smallest detail. The personal freedom of the individual is abrogated. He becomes a slave of the community, bound to obey the dictates of the majority.”

Think how this applies to the increasingly intolerant conformity culture we see mounting in the age of COVID. He continues:

“It is hardly necessary to expatiate on the ways in which such powers could be abused by malevolent persons in authority. The wielding, of powers of this kind even by men imbued with the best of intentions must needs reduce the world to a graveyard of the spirit. All mankind’s progress has been achieved as a result of the initiative of a small minority that began to deviate from the ideas and customs of the majority until their example finally moved the others to accept the innovation themselves. To give the majority the right to dictate to the minority what it is to think, to read, and to do is to put a stop to progress once and for all.”

It is interesting that those who fancy themselves “progressives” are pushing for the world to come to an abrupt stop and for all individuals to bend their will to the national narrative they have chosen in this time.

Finally, from Mises:

“Let no one object that the struggle against morphinism and the struggle against ‘evil’ literature are two quite different things….The propensity of our contemporaries to demand authoritarian prohibition as soon as something does not please them, and their readiness to submit to such prohibitions even when what is prohibited is quite agreeable to them shows how deeply ingrained the spirit of servility still remains within them. It will require many long years of self-education until the subject can turn himself into the citizen. A free man must be able to endure it when his fellow men act and live otherwise than he considers proper. He must free himself from the habit, just as soon as something does not please him, of calling for the police.”

His writings are so spot-on and prescient, it’s almost eerie.

We do not have to like or condone another person’s actions. We don’t have to associate with them. But we must endure other humans acting and living as they see fit without going full Karen and calling the cops. When you argue for government force to violate an individual’s bodily autonomy in any manner, you stand on the side of gross injustice and human rights violations—just ask Brandon Rutherford who now faces jail time over his decisions about what he will or will not put in his body.

“I’m not taking the vaccine,” Rutherford told CNN. And he ought to have every right to make that decision.

FACT CHECKING THE CDC: SARS-COV2 Vaccines and Shedding

/in , , , , /by

There is growing debate on whether or not the SARS-COV2 vaccinated shed. Shedding occurs after someone is vaccinated and then transmits the SARS-COV2 disease to others that they come into contact with. There is serious discussion about individuals shedding after receiving their shots (vaxx).

One must remember that not only are Americans vaccinated but those who travel to the U.S. from other nations who have been vaccinated using different vaccines than those offered here may be shedding!

Science dictates that this be studied in depth in order to understand if getting vaccinated is a good thing or bad thing. Sadly, this issue has taken on a political twist that is not helpful.

In this column we discuss both sides and let you, our readers, determine if you should get vaccinated and if you do what are the risks of shedding, infecting others like family and friends.

To Shed Or Not To Shed – That Is The Question

The CDC website, under myths and facts, sates the following on shedding:

Do any of the COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States shed or release any of their components?

No. Vaccine shedding is the term used to describe the release or discharge of any of the vaccine components in or outside of the body. Vaccine shedding can only occur when a vaccine contains a weakened version of the virus. None of the vaccines authorized for use in the U.S. contain a live virus. mRNA and viral vector vaccines are the two types of currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines available.

However, Google under Covid 19 Common Questions gives a different take on shedding:

How long do recovered COVID-19 patients continue to shed the virus?

Recovered persons can continue to shed detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA in upper respiratory specimens for up to 3 months after illness onset, albeit at concentrations considerably lower than during illness, in ranges where replication-competent virus has not been reliably recovered and infectiousness is unlikely.

SARS-COV2 – The Other Side Effects

In a video titled Dr. Mike Yeadon: On Covid-19 Vaccines The SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein is NOT a Passive Protein states:

“The spike protein is not a passive protein that the virus uses to anchor to human cells. Its biologically active… and prompts cells to stick together.

They are capable of precipitating some of the steps of the blood coagulation pathway.

All of the gene based vaccines that harness the bodies ability to manufacture the spike protein or part of it, should be regarded as having a class risk.

Can you think of a benign explanation for why you would want to give an experimental use authorized gene based vaccine to tens of millions of people who cannot possibly die if they run into this virus?

And the answer is – no you can’t, can you?

So if you can’t think of a benign explanation for what’s happening, and
remember its not the only bad thing that’s happening, then you have to look for malign explanations.

And I think I’ve come across what it is. Its this damn vaccine passport.”

Don’t let them fool you into thinking this will only be a temporary measure— like income tax. Once it starts, there’s no recovery from it. If you’re asked to do anything at all– if you’re told you don’t comply– you’re have the validity of your passport shut off, and you’re be coerced into doing whatever they tell you.

In an article titled “Bloodclotting and the Spike Protein: A Known Problem Long Before The Vees Were Produced” Dr. Mike Williams, the former CEO of Pfizer, states:

Even a cursory look at social media demonstrates that there are three main areas of concern around Covid vaccines at the moment: clotting disorders; abnormal menses; and the possibility that those that are vaccinated are shedding that vaccine material.

There are of course other significant concerns, not least neurological damage following receipt of the vaccine but, as you will see, that may be as a consequence of one of the other three.

Z3 News in their article Critically Important – Unvaccinated People are Suffering A Multitude of Adverse Reactions With Concerns of Sterility & A Possible End To Reproduction For Humans From Being Near Vaccinated People Shedding Spike Proteins! reported:

“Studies Show that Vaccinated Individuals Spread Disease”, Intrado Globe Newswire, February 2, 2015.  Original article with all references found here

“Health officials are blaming unvaccinated children for the recent measles outbreak that started at Disneyland. However, with no blood tests proving the outbreak is from wild measles, the most likely source of the outbreak is a recently vaccinated individual, according to published science.

Scientific evidence demonstrates that individuals vaccinated with live virus vaccines such as MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), rotavirus, chicken pox, shingles and influenza can shed the virus for many weeks or months afterwards and infect the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.1,2 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Furthermore, vaccine recipients can carry diseases in the back of their throat and infect others while displaying no symptoms of a disease.11,12,13

“Numerous scientific studies indicate that children who receive a live virus vaccination can shed the disease and infect others for weeks or even months afterwards. Thus, parents who vaccinate their children can indeed put others at risk,” explains Leslie Manookian, documentary filmmaker and activist. Manookian’s award winning documentary, The Greater Good, aims to open a dialog about vaccine safety.

Both unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals are at risk from exposure to those recently vaccinated.  Vaccine failure is widespread; vaccine-induced immunity is not permanent and recent outbreaks of diseases such as whooping cough, mumps and measles have occurred in fully vaccinated populations.14,15  Flu vaccine recipients become more susceptible to future infection after repeated vaccination.16

Conclusion

The SARS-COV2 vaccines are new, in scientific terms. All vaccines used and distributed in the United States are currently not FDA approved.

We are years if not a decades away from understanding the long term effects of taking the SARS-COV2 vaccines.

Many have taken the SARS-COV2 vaccines and are doing fine, others are suffering and some dying from the effects of taking the vaccines.

The problem is that the federal government, companies, hospitals and social media are doing their best, using fear, to force individuals to take the vaccine. The idea of doctor patient decision making on taking or not taking the SARS-COV2 vaccine is almost moot.

To make matters worse, the federal government is now saying that individuals who have been vaccinated need a booster shot. Why? If the vaccine is truly effective why the booster shot?

The World Health Organization’s (HWO) website on Covid states:

Will COVID-19 vaccines provide long-term protection?

Because COVID vaccines have only been developed in the past months, it’s too early to know the duration of protection of COVID-19 vaccines. Research is ongoing to answer this question. However, it’s encouraging that available data suggest that most people who recover from COVID-19 develop an immune response that provides at least some period of protection against reinfection – although we’re still learning how strong this protection is, and how long it lasts.

Even WHO doesn’t know if the SARS-COV2 vaccine is effective.

So, there it is. Science is never settled, even though there are some who believe it is. We are a long way from knowing the truth about COVID-19 and SARS-COV2 vaccines.

To get vaxxed or not to get vaxxed is a personal decision. It’s your body and your choice. Choose wisely, in consultation with your doctor.

Biden Tells Secretary Of Education To Use ‘Legal Actions’ Against Governors Banning Mask Mandates

/in , , , , , , , , /by

DeSantis OBLITERATES Biden for Pushing Obsessive Mask Mandates while Afghanistan Falls.

In his recent address to the nation, President Biden did not focus on America’s humiliation in Afghanistan, or the humanitarian crisis at our Southern boarder. Instead, President Biden announced that he was directing the Secretary of Education to use ‘legal actions’ against Governor DeSantis, Governor Abbott, and others, who are banning mask mandates in schools. Biden then ran away after the speech, and refused to take any questions from the press. The Biden Administration is a total disaster. A nightmare.

The world is burning and Nero Joe is attacking American governors standing for American freedom.

Biden Tells Secretary Of Education To Use ‘Legal Actions’ Against Governors Banning Mask Mandates

By Daily Wire, August 18, 2021

President Joe Biden addressed the nation on the topic of the coronavirus on Wednesday, going a step further in his battle against specific Republican governors who have pushed back against mask mandates in schools.

Biden said, “For those who aren’t eligible for the vaccine yet — children under the age of 12 — masks are the best available protection for them and the adults around them. That’s why we need to make sure children are wearing masks in school.”

“Unfortunately, as we’ve seen throughout this pandemic, some politicians are trying to turn public safety measures — that is, children wearing masks in school — into political disputes for their own political gain. Some are even trying to take power away from local educators by banning masks in school. They’re setting a dangerous tone,” Biden added.

He went on to say, “Today, I am directing the Secretary of Education — an educator himself — to take additional steps to protect our children. This includes using all of his oversight authorities and legal actions, if appropriate, against governors who are trying to block and intimidate local school officials and educators.”

The Biden administration has been looking for ways to get further involved in states’ affairs, specifically taking aim at Florida and Texas where Republican Governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, respectively, have signed executive orders banning mask mandates.

According to The Daily Wire, “Fox News  Saturday that U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona wrote a letter to DeSantis and Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran informing them that the federal government would provide funds to school districts that defy the governor’s order and risk losing state funding.”

“Florida’s recent actions to block school districts from voluntarily adopting science-based strategies for preventing the spread of COVID-19 that are aligned with the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) puts students and staff at risk,” Cardona wrote.

“We are eager to partner with [the Florida Department of Education] on any efforts to further our shared goals of protecting the health and safety of students and educators,” Cardona added. “If FLDOE does not wish to pursue such an approach, the Department will continue to work directly with the school districts and educators that serve Florida’s students.”

Cardona sent a similar letter to Republican Governor of Texas Greg Abbott, saying that the Department of Education “stands with” the educators who are “working to safely reopen schools and maintain safe in-person instruction.”

Abbott has been in a legal battle with local districts that wish to defy his executive order banning mask mandates and impose their own restrictions on regions and schools.

Governors across the country are continuing to take steps to give parents the ability to make decision about their children’s health.

Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed an executive order Monday giving parents the ability to make decisions about whether their kids wear masks in schools.

He stated, “Right now, some of the greatest frustration is occurring in our K-12 schools, especially around the issue of mask mandates. While local decision-making is important, individual decision-making by a parent on issues regarding the health and well-being of their child is the most important.”

“No one cares more about the health and well-being of a child than a parent. I am signing an executive order today that allows parents to opt their children out of a school mask mandate if either a school board or health board enacts one over a district,” he added.

His executive order says, “a student’s parent or guardian shall have the right to opt out of any order or requirement for a student in kindergarten through twelfth-grade to wear a face covering at school, on a school bus, or at school functions, by affirmatively notifying in writing the local education agency or personnel at the student’s school.”
